j- > for Governor. He is almost as
i the choice of the white conser-; s.
ei as of the black radicals. Many j *"
who hate his party voted f ?r him ; s.
i '3e his opponent w*as a Northern
many more refrained from voting j
c same reason. This feeling was ,:tcristic
of the South Carolinian for H
efore the war. The result of the l'e
into which the State so reckless- ]t
cw herself and into which she i I1
her sister States, ought to have

the incidents of her history since,
as it i? with misfortune and humil- '*

he conservatives entered u|?on the {

reformers to Irnlt from had liomina- t.
is, assuring them of a cordial support. J)'.1
ere is no talk then that the nominee
ucf. .1 bolt should be selected to please J.:
!U0C; ts. It was well known that
?nt c.ire would be necessary in choo<- i i-.i
ios which conld attract that negro
".'.ifch Carpenterso signally failed to j '{f,
4 1870. All that was demanded i
r> honest effort to reform abuses, i r,:\
. did ;tes of pood character
:et was made up by tlie bolters ^
g.n?d material as tlio circumstances : soa
.liftM of. A ticket every whit as ?j
od in the important officers, as the lie- W".
" ket of 1870., and verv much su- ,
'o it in, at least, two instances, i;i*i
i?--ad of the ticket was a Northern ;
in-, a radical, and popular with thejjV,
'red men. He was described hy the,
4on Neics just after his nomina
;one of the most respectable !
1 rners in the city; " known in every J
irmity in which' l^e had resided as vo1
.onorable man, of irrep oathable ^r0
.i .'.te character. ainE politically, in tlie
nguaye of the Columbia Phvtiix, as '
h^ very best man in the radical party. " |
What did the conservatives press do
%n \ these ir.en thu3 sacrificed parly
.? oency and. hones' y; From one ^
>f the state to the other rose the j.?"
i?1'carpet-bagger!" Instead offul- ptl
iDg the podges of co-operation3 the <.?r;
user ative either joined with the VJf
H
dicais in abusing Toralinson, or held jj'.
oof with ill-concealed joy as the two j Ut
cHons joined in the fight. The Bol La
ni instead ot finding* allies, found j'1
>eniselves between two rircs. The ! jt'n
jlumbia Phoenix constitutes the-single Ha
tception to their course.. Be
The Bolters made a gallant fight. J,1 J
"hey more than were enough support }^j
om the regulars to have elected their Bucket
if the promises and pledges- of vtia
ue conservative pres3 hud bceu worth
nythiog.
Having learned the value of such pu- j
:c allies it will be a long time before ,
conservatives get a chance to again A
k the lines of the radicals. We be- .
5 that the bolting movement. (
ugh badly beaten, has done good. ' (,j(1
i Republican party has received:a |):i
re shaking up aud its members wi'. f-u
soon forget the raking over of re- j !;!i

% that in our own representative s

WHAT Kl'KU'XISM C?ST.
i J1'
the strength of Grautism and (iroe ';1
ism in the north wasso nearly.equal jf
*t a very little cause would turn ih? j ,|i
We believe that little was . ::
i in the mad acts of the kuklux in j
is -TUte. The administration print i
i tens of thousands of copi s of tht ! f.
;vid-uce taken at the trials and spread ;
*' en among the people at the public ; 1 ^
cx.v. use. In the linn of Bab. I> ( . |
^cn were sent by every radical eon n
gr jan iuto every district in the ; -h
ai> n. The details of the horrible V
! 'ii
ur: .j8- perpetrated upon helpless ne-I f|,
and poor ignorant whites doubt j
? convinced many a waveiiog mind . l|
*i was too soon to admit the south
k political power by eh ctiug (inclev ! ,,
& If! .stead ofattacking the weak aud l^
' di ss, the kuklux had boldly assailed ' *
* fh?ives and rascals iu power and i p.,
if they had appealed for jusiili fu
? " m of apparent lawlessness, to the PJ
>r. t- at fact that all law was a farce, aud *
C tl
. t law makers were the law-break- itl
hat judges were the pliaut tools or
?. r -"ulity; that juries were prejudiccil. ar
i.:. rant and ucbauehed; and that obe- al
"m'TCo to such laws executed by such ^
ure, was a base surrender of man- ir
i 1 and the timid compliance of cow- f
s -if such an appeal had been made,
i the citizens of a noble State hau ^
r to redeem themselves, we believe aj
:y would have been sustained by the
?
But KuICluxism, the combiDation of
wardice and barbarism will remain a
iin upon Scuth Carolina forever. 1
or will the participants alone suffer ^
e blame. The conservative, educated <
id respectable citizens could have)
opped it if they had expected them- 1
lvts to do so.
They two must be measurably con;mned.
Their action, hearty protest
raiust such crimes would have been 1
ore effective than proclamation from
ie president, or fears of martial law.
hey liud their punishment to day in
ie defeat of Greeley.

THE FUTURE.
The administration just elected has
:he future of the state in its hands. fc
K'ected by an overwhelming majority of
enthusiastic partisans; with a disorgan- n,
ized and thoroughly beaten minority, d
thankfully accepting whatever reeogni- b
tion may be accorded to it; with a legis- g
lature of pliable material at its back,
there is no stone in its pathway. It may d
confound its enemies by giving the state j,
an honest and economical government, f,
or it may continue the wasteful, prodigal
and wicked course which has marked the a
past and thus bring its party to certain j
ruin and our form of government into
merited contempt. We sincerely hope j
that we may have cause to regret some
of the hard things we have said against
the officers elect. From us the new administration
will receive calm and dis- :.
passionate comment, in no carping spirit, j
but rather with a desire to find good t
where we have not been led to expect it* i
The Election.
i
Returns from a small portion of the (
State have hcten published in the j 1
Charleston papers, and judging from the c
majorities thus far put down, Moses* t '
majority in the State will exceed 20.Q(V,> i
The principal voting was by colored vot- 1
crs, the whites, steadfastly refusing to *
visit the polls, 1
M o shall publish the official vote of the (
county in tabular form in our next is- j ^
sue. "We have received returns from a
few precincts, enough to show that Sena I
tor Suialls lias been c cctcd by four thousand
majority. Moses majority will be
about the same. j c
: 1
Mr. C. W. Fi rbkh. for a long time i
ma-tcr machinist on the Georgia Rail- !
road, has been appointed to the same j
position on the Port Royal Railroad, and I
entered upon his duties.

The election in Beaufort passed off as a
[uietly as such events generally do. j
jlroups here and tliere discuss the j
irobabilitics interspersed with now and ;
hen a positive assertion that their favorte
candidates are elected. They knew tr
o a dot just how many votes they could , te
oil iu such and such precinct, the nu- ;
ticrical table was brought into use, and il
he huge footing of majorities were as nj
lain to them as the shadows from a
toon day sun ; those that were the most J st
anguine before election were now very <
I
assive, vet clung to the hope that their > ge
rieuds would win. In our next issue fc

Death of Fanny Fern.
Mrs Surah J'aync Parton, hotter
mown under the now de jilume of "Faniy
Fern." died at her residence in New
fork last week. She gained a world
vide reputation from her writings, which
vere written in a vein peculiar to herself, j
partaking more of a peevish nature than
imiahility of temperament. The first '
vork written by her was called Kutit \
flail. It was not u genial woik, and
)ver its family revelations, it were best
:o draw the veil < f forgetfulness.
In 1850, she took for a second husband
Mr. James Parton. the historian and
issayist. It proved to be an unhappy
tllhnce, and ouly added fuel to an acrimonious
nature which permeated' all of
her writing?. Her remai a were taken j

the Scabrook plantation, had a chili ul . 'j
ty some, time ago growing out of un- t
warrantable intimacy between one of j
the parties aud the wife of the other.
Bdlen was the foreman of the pbotatiou,
and while standing in front of h s j

suddenly lied at by Shields seven times i
