The result of the elections in I ml in
im, Ohio and West Virginia now
places the election of Tildtn and Ihn
d ricks beyond even a skeptical doubt,
A correspondent writing to us Irom
\Ynshingt??n, on the day ot tlio election
in those States, remarked tInn
should India oft find Ohio both go
against us, wo had a pure thing in the
solid Soliih. Leaving out South Carolina,
tint other Southern States will
give lot votes, so that we shall need
only 51 votes iu all the Northern
States to elect Mr. Tildou. New
York will give 35 of these and the
her 19 will not tail to come lrom the
*. ..c'ilio Slates, and New Jersey and
Connect ient.
The New Yourk >SInn gives the following
list, ot Slates certain to Vv>\e
for Tihlcn:
Alabama 10 Missouri 15
Arkansas G New Jersey .... 9
Connecticut.... G New York...,lib
Delaware 3 North Carolina 10
Georgia 11 Oregon 3
Indiana 15 Tennessee 12
Kentucky 12 Texas 8
Louisiana 8 Virginia II
Maryland 8 West Virginia. . 5
Missippi 8 ?
Total 195
185 votes are necessary to a choice,
and this list gives 10 more than is
necessary to elect, Florida, California,
New Hampshire and {South Carolina
with their 22 votes are put down as
probable for Tilden, making his total
vote 217, The Now York World
gives Tilden a certain vote of 204 and
Hayes a certain vote ol 112.
There is no doubt but Florida will
cast her 4 votes for Tilden, hut leaving
out Florida, Louisiana and South
Carolina, and yet Tilden's election is
cortain.

lias amazed its frieixls, and struck terror
to the Radical party. Like a prairie
(ire it is tiwcepirg Irom the mom.
I laniM to tho bc.i board. Never
there so largo gatherings in this Stale
is now attend all the meetings of (-ten.
Hampton, and never wore the people
.-o desperately in earnest as they now
are lor the success ol tin reform ticket.
Those meetings, numbering in
instances not less thun t-.o00 peoplo
are attended l>y both white and black
and in all the meetings held not a disturbance
has taken place. The best
feelings and kindly greetings pervade,
the masses.
The election ol General Hampton,
and a reform Legislature, is a sure
thing in spite of all the proclamations
Gov. Chamberlain can issue, or bayonets
Grant may send in the State.
The Tliciiio ol' Itinlienl Speeches.
It is a Demosthenic feat in a Radical
stump speaker, in this State il
iio can get through his effort without
reminding the colored voter that his
duty is to stick to the pally that gave
him freedom ami iho right to vote.
Kven Hon. Joseph 11. Rainey, mouther
to Congress and candidate for re-election,
and whose position should have
enabled him to come down to the
present issues and interests of the
country, makes them the theme ol his
discourses. Now the one right is as
much the creature and force of circumstances
as the other, and neither was
the free-will offering ol lha Republican
party.
The speech of General Hampton,
made in Columbia in 1800, advocating
the right of the ballot for the colored
man, not only met, at that time, with
bitter opposition by the Northern
people, hut was as fruitful a source ol
cartoon ridicule, by Nasi, in Harpers
Illustrated Weekly, as has hum the
false and libelous connection of Governor
Tilden with Ross Tweed. One
of these cartoons represented Hump,
ton blacking a negro's boots another
represente I him shaking hands with
the colored voter, ami inviting him to
dine with him (Hampton); to which
the negro replied "lankeo Doss, hut
i i^.i ... .1;.... .....1. u..oo
to-day." Thin cartoon could not fail
of :i correct interpretation by the Obi
inhabitants of Columbia. It represented
an election campaign between
Gen. Hampton and Col, Preston, both
of whom were proverbnlly lciown for
their liheralit y, i specially in an election
eon test.
Until the ink lades out. of thesocartoons,
and the pages of history refuse
to re\eal the fact of President Lincoln's
proclamation offering lo annul
his emancipation proelamsiion in all
ol the States that would go back into
ihe Union by i he 15ih ?>t October lhbd,
I .'ind lo rotiiru or pay lor all escaped
1 si i\es, we think it will lit* more interesting
to ihe e doivd voters il Radical
oialnra will deal with tho present
issues, ami aeeount lor the enormous
frauds, swindles and stealings that
have Keen perpetrated on litis Stale,
and the whole nation, sinne the Republican
party has been in power, than
to longer attempt to keep up the delusion
upon tlie colored people that
the late war was waged for their freedom,
und thai the right ot the ballot,
to the colored man, was not odious to
the Republican party when given, but
vital it was a forced measure to insure
the Radical party a few more years of
good stealing.
Fruits, of Cbvornor Chimborlain's Proclamation.
Col. Simouton, the chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee ol
Charleston county, proposed to Mr. (
C. Bowen, the Republican count)
chairman, that the county Democratic
canvassers ha heard in joint
discussion at the Republican meetings.
This was agreed to by Rowun, on

two other places. The meetings wiivi

that at one of the meetings sevcra
guns were brought on the ground b>
some of Bowen'o party, but no disturbances

liltv yards of which was a branch thicket
on one si lo and a fiteep gully on the
other. A chairman lor each parly

opened liv a 1 )< inoer.it.. When he I

noticed in the crowd, and the Republicans
were noticed to be moving ofT
stealthily but hastily towards the
branch, by Llio time they reached the
thicket of woods the Democrats were

opened a lire from the thicket and gully
with lilies and muskets upon the
unarmed crowd ot Democrats, who
hastily commenced retreating toward
the boat, t hrec miles distant, returning
an inellbolual lire with what pistols
they had. The result of this
treacherous and murderous ambuscade
was that live Democrats were killed,
ami lit teen wounded.
The circumstances point to the fact
that a large body of armed men lay
concealed in the gully and thicket

That there are some Kepublieuns in

to his views on the State Hepublican

i Capt. Dunn was once a citizen of this

counties of the Slate, which are en.
gaged in promoting illegal objects
and in committing opeji acts of lawlessness
and violence, and he has
threatened to declare martial law and
tp suspend the writ of habeas corpus.
The charges preferred l>v Governor
Chamberlain against the citizens ot
the State are as false and libelous as
his threatened usurpation ot power is
tyrannical and unwarranted; and bis
extraordinary proclamation can be explained
only upon the assumption that
Governor Chamberlain, w ith a similar
disregard ol law and of fact, is determined
to resort to the most extreme
measures to prevent the otherwise
certain dclcal of hiuiaclt and bis corrupt

Then1 have been disturbances in

The disturbances in lhirn\rcll
were Republican in their origin, beginning!
in the resistance, by an arme.l
band ol negroes, of lite a nest of a
robber for whom a warrant had been
duly issued. This band Into up a
railroad, wrecked a train, fired upon
and wounded the SherilV of the county,
and were dispersed by a so called
armed band oi whites who had been
duly summoned by the SherilV as a
posse, with the sanction of the Judge
ol the Court then in session. This
posse alter perloriuing their duties
quietly dispersed. So lar from opposing
the law, ihc wlo.de people desire
the prompt despatch of business in
the courts, and the enforcement ol the
law by tbe civil arm.
The. white people throughout the
State have volunteered their services
to the Governor to maintain the laws
and he has refused them in a libelous
eomitumioation, intended solely to furnish
a pretext lor the introduction of
Federal troops, to be placed undci the
control ol irresponsible and unserupulouk
ollieials. to nvurmvn i bo

The Democratic nominees in si ventolin
ol tlic tliivty-'ttto Counties in the
State have held meqtuiffs, attended by
thousands of eili/.ens ul.both races and
|KiriicH. The Ilcpublicans have held
njdetiugs when and where they
pleased, and net a single uet el \ ioloneo
has yet occurred.
On the 18th ulrinio, the Democrat in
Executive Commitleo invited the Kcpubiioan
can v. assets t<> a joint discussion
at their 'meetings. This invitation
was renewed on the 2sth ultimo,
and accepted by the Kcpiihlican Executive
Coinnuti.ee on the f>th instant,
upon the usaifl terms. The proclam^
lion oi the Governor is utteiiv at vaBl
ancu with the action of the Executive
Committee of his own party. The
latter acquiesces in tree discussion.
The, former in effect suppresses debate
and substitutes armed force lor tree
speech.
Wo assert earnestly, with a fnil
sense ol our responsibility, that no
Condition of things exist in the State
which justifies so ext raordinary a pro!
needing on the part of Governor
i Chamberlain. Its sole object is to ir|
ritate and provoke collisions, which
may be the excuse for an appeal to the
administration of the United States to
| gari ison lldf Slato. Wo shall c^nsel
our people to preserve the peaoe^ohey
the laws and caiinly await lire day o!
their deliverance from this wanton
despotism.
To the people ol the United States
we submit our wrongs, confidently
relying on their wisdom and justice to
rebuke this daring attempt to regulate
I the ballot by the bayonet and cruoh
the liberties oi a people.
