E0B3S' ANNOUNCEMENT. We regret that Mr. Hobbs has announced himself as a candidate for Solicitor. He disclaims being an Independent, but we can't help but think that he is mistaken. His only argument is the alleged irregularity in the Edgefield delegation. In our humble judgment, it would look better, sound better and be better everyway for Edgefield to make her own complaint if she has any. We have the highest respect for Mr. Hobbs and, as a rule, for his opinions, but we do not think that the Democratic machinery ought to be smashed up on so gauzy a pretext as he advauces Th? "Erlcxpfiftld Adwrlixvr sneaks of " O" -the matter as follows: "The issue raised by Mr. John F. Hobbs, as regards the Domination for Solicitor of the Fifth Circuit, coming just at this time, and a full month after the nomination, is certaiuly very much to be deplored. The thing of paramount importance to the Democratic party at present is perfect uuity within its rauks. Indeed so inexorable is the necessity for such unity that, in our opinion, all errors of party, all private feelings, all personal wrongs, all differences of judgment,] and all disappointments, may well and wisely be sacrificed in its behalf. This issue will not tend to such unity. As regards Mr. Hobbs' main point, the omission of the parliamentary technicality of actually votiug for delegates named, we might have urged it had it been the action of a court of law, but as the oversight of a political convention, caused by hurry, confusion, ana a sense of safety in the matter, it had been wiser to let it rest. In the spirit of the convention and of the people?as we regard it? the six delegates were duly elected. Mr. Hobbs calls for auother convention, or else he goes as a candidate before the people. Does he j mean auother convention in Edge- ] field or another convention of the ] Circuit? Of course, however, there j could not be the one without the! other. We do not think the people i of Edgefield desire or would sanction another convention." The Edgefield Advertiser is one of 1L. _1J j \ i. | uiu uiuesi, ami siauucueso papezs iu , the State, and its utterances may be I relied apou to show which way the > Democratic wind is blowing in the j straigbtout county. Edgefield wants I no troubled waters auu the rest of the ; 5th Judicial Circuit wauts none. We have waited for the Edgefield paper before saying anything. The bone of contention seemed to be there, according to Mr. Hobbs' statement, and while we had no hesitancy as to the j proper course to pursue, we desired : to keep silent till we heard more. Now we put on the warpaint and ex- j pect to do all we can for the Democ- j racy that we kuow something about,! and to hit at that strange sort of Democracy (!) which depends upon Radicalism as its only chance. The six men who weut from Edgefield to the Judicial Convention and who stood solid for Bonhutu on every j ballot, are gentlemen of as high re- j S} ectability and character as any in j SBiWIY HKBgKggaiS the State, and no county in South Carolina would have cause tp be ashamed that they represented it. But there was an "irregularity," j and a wonderful irregularity it was! | Tbo whole 5th Circuit must be turn- j bled upside down on account of that stunning irregularity, some little j omission which doubtless never affected the result iu the selection of delegates? Mr. Hobbs says that the Ex-. eeutive Committee refused to call; another convention. If that proves' anything, it is that the Executive1 Committee didn't see the thing as he i does. That being the case, the Edge-1 field Committee was all wrong and j Mr. Hobbs right all over. He now \ stands in the light of arraigning the [ body of men who had been vested j with the riVht of doiu<r iust what thev I ! # ~ O ? ~ a *> ? ? did do, by the people of Edgefield. ! To give him a shadow of excuse for | the course he has pursued, it would j have to be assumed that the proposi-1 tion is true, that a majority of the j Democratic party in Edgefield utterly ! repudiated the work of the conveu-J tion. This is necessary to sustain his position, takiug his views of the whole case to be correct, and we cnuuot so j take them. It is as plaiu as A. 13. C's that he cannot know what a majority of the Edgefield Democrats desire in this matter. He goes over from Lexington to take charge of Edgefield affairs. If he will come out and proclaim himself au Independent candidate, and disclaim allegiance to j any party, the mystery would then be ! unraveled, but as it is, he has placed himself in a clueless labyrinth. We wish it were so that we could j say nothing as to this matter, for we ' have the kindest feeling for Mr. Hobbs, but he must give better reasons for#threatening the unity of the Democratic party, before we can get onr consent to keep silent. BEWASS HOW YOU ENCOUEAGE THE INDEPENDENTS. We do not need to say how we stand on the subject of Independentism. Oar views are well known to all tbe readers of the Dispatch. We desire now simply to say that all candidates who took their chances in the primary election are bound by their written pledges to abide the result and to support the nominees, and besides, that every man who cast his vote in that election is as much bound to stand by the nominees as if he had given his pledge in writing. What excuse can men claiming to be Democrats and who took part as such in the primary election, have for getting up an Independent ticket? Defeated candidates would do well to put themselves on the record as to this matter, now that an independent announcement is made in this week's Dispatch for the purpose of defeating oDe of tbe regular Democratic nominees of this county. We do not believe that the body of the Lexington people will give countenance to any such a movement, but on tbe contrary that any man who tacitly or avowedly yields his assent to it will incur their hearty displeasure and censure. We know it is hard lor the warm frieuds of defeated candidates to stand firm, but can they do otherwise if they do their plain duty? Are men to be palled away by personal feelings and prejudices from what they ought in good faith to adhere to. The people i 1 -in j ?i. nave sposen. jlo ery inau wuo look tbe field for nomination reposed his chances with them and there is no question now as to the out}' of all Democrats. This matter does not admit of argument. The only question is will u:eu do what they have bound themselves to do. We have faith enough in the men of this county to believe that they will not be found wanting on the 2d day of November, that they know the obligation they placed themselves under by taking part in the primary elections, and will not break it. Democrats, think well before you cast your votes for an independent candidate. Yon may realize when it is too late that you have done yourselves, your county and State a great aud an irreparable wrong. THE COUNTY EE2<I0CEATIC MEETINGS. The first of tbe Democratic meetings appointed by the Executive Committee will be held at Gilbert Hollow next Saturday. It is to be hoped that there will be a large attendance. It is of the greatest importance that al! the interest aud enthusiasm possible should be excited among the Lexington Democrats between now and the general election. If these meetings j are slimly attended, it will be bad for the party. The Republicans are working hard in a quiet way, and we can ill-afford to be lying idle. Let us get together at these meetings and talk matters over. It will do us all good. The candidates, especially those for the Senate and House should be present to make speeches. We want some good Democratic anti-Independent work. The Republican arithmetic men have concocted a table of the "probable electoral vote" in November. They give Hancock Alabama, Arkan sas, Delaware, F lorida, ueorgia, idcii- 1 ana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, J Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, the Curolinas, Teunessee and tLe Virginias, with 1G2 votes, but insist that J Garfield is sure of all the other States. It ran bo easily understood from this official fable precisely how much j chance the Republicans believe they have. This is a blooming document. The Republicans see so plainly the oud that is coming, that thev can hardly keep from pointing it out to us. i The Danger Ahead. The approaching election is as iw-1 portant as the famous election four' years ago, which placed the State! government in the hands of the De-j mocracy. There is no assurance that j South Carolina will have a State gov- j eminent two years hence, it Garfield ; be elected President. It is by no! means certain that the Democrats j will have a majority in Congress after ' March, 18S1. Conkling, Logan and ! Cameron will be the powers behind; the throne. In his whole public life Garfield has never been known to renirf t/w rlAmurtilii /if tli/> rov- I OlOC 1V1 lUUjj uwuiuuuo VJ* KUV *w? olutionists in bis party. In the rear of the Stalwart triumvirate stalks their next candidate for. President, the Strong Man who is toiling now for the Domination that was denied him last June. This is iu store for the Southern "banditti," as Sheridan called them, if Hancock be defeated. And he will be defeated, iu all human probability, if be fail to receive the Electoral votes of South Carolina and Virginia. Every other consideration pales before this. South Carolina must do her part, and requires, iu order to be victorious, the untiring labor and increasing exertions of every one of her sous. There is no difficulty in polling a full Radical vote. No loDg notice requisite. Every colored man iq South Carolina who is not a veteran Democrat, or who is not converted by individual effort, will vote on election day any ballot that the leaders T^Q /?Al/arnii rs/innlfi Uliu. J. UO V/VIV1VU ^V,VJ/?V w. V little what the candidates are, so longas they are not Democrats. It is t possible that as large a vote will be polled for the Radical candidates for Electors as would be polled if candidates for State offices also were in nomination. But it must be remembered that, so long as no Radical candidates for State offices are in nomination, 4 he Democratic candidates for those offices are in no danger, although the candidates for Presidential electors may be. The Greenback candidates for State offices will get some Democratic votes. With three complete tickets in the field, Democratic. Radical and Greenback, both the. State Government and the Electoral Vole of South Carolina can be wrested from the Democracy. There is no excuse for panic. There is cause for uneasiness. The Democracy are over-confident. Therein lies the whole difficulty. The precarious political coudition of the State is the fundamental reason why differences of opinion that would be harmless at other seasons cannot be tolerated now. This is the reason why free| dom of action that might be pardonable at other times is a crime now. Democratic government in the State ; and in the United States is at stake, j and the South Carolinian who, with : this knowledge, deserts or throws up ! his hands is a worse foe of South Carolina than the worst Radical who ! ever robbed and maligned our people* I ?Neics and Courier. * ? I The Radicals, Greenbackers and i Independendents of Greenville Conni ty met at the courthouse last Satur! day for the purpose of joining to i gether in a great revival, au lin! mense crowd of Democrats also put in an appearance. Ex-Judge Cooke, Absalom Blythe, Revenue Collector E. M. Brayton and others of the same stripe made speeches. Democratic Speakers headed by Col. W. H. Perry asked for an opportunity to reply which was granted. The meeting of the Republican County Convention look place on the same day. The proceedings of the Greenback County Convention, held somewhere and at some lime were read and the Convention resolved "that, the Greenbackers having agreed to vote with us and we with the Greenbackers, that we endorse the Greenback ticket as far as it goes, and that John B. Hyde and j Win. B. Johnson be placed in nomination for the Legislature and David ! R. Speer for Probate Judge." It was | also moved aud carried that John P. ! Scruggs be endorsed as Independent | candidate for Sheriff. The ticket as ! it stands is: Senate?T. H. Cooke, I Independent; Representatives?W. i B. Johnson, J. B. Hyde, Republicans, i James Perry, T. T. Westmoreland, ! Greenbackers; School Commissioner, j Wm. M. Leuderman. Greenbacker; i Clerk of Court?James P. Moseley, j Greenbacker; Judge of Probate? D. ! R. Speer, Republican; Sheriff?J. P I Scruggs, Independent; Coroner, D. Sparks, Greenbacker. | The Greenville News in speaking of i the day's work says: "If any believed j the mountaineers to be asleep, yes teruay was enough to undeceive tliem laud inspire confidence that they are i as broad awake, fearless and deter' mined as iu 187G. The meeting was a grand success. It showed that i Greenville is ready and intends to do : her part. It convinced the Radicals j that there is no apathy, that the old I spirit yet lives, and that their still hunt policy is as inaffective as bayoi nets and bulldozers were four years | ago. Through ail the day the cheering was for Hancock, giving evidence that the failure to Dominate a State ticket has deceived no one, aud that the people will rally as enthusiasti| callv for Hancock, English and Evius as for Ha^ood and Kennedy." Washington, October G.?General Walker, Superintendent of the Census. to-day submitted a report to the Secretary of the Interior, in which he says that recent investigations, conducted i'V Special Agent Gannett into alleged frauds by the census enumerators iu South Carolina last June shows that the census of 1870 was very defective and that the population enumeration made iu June is coi 1 cct. II ! ! I M?? ? l?l? IWII III Progress of the Campaign. , BtXNETSVILLE, S- C., Oct. 2. The crowd of people who assembled here yesterday to listen to the speeches of the candidates on the State ticket was very large. The mounted procession, clad, almost.; without exception, in the historic red j shirt, was as line a body of men as ' can be turned out by any county in | the State. They uuinbered fully live j kuudred, and in tiling round the public square presented a magnificent appearance. Speeches were made by Generals Hagood and Ken- j nedy, J- S. Iticbardsoo, It M. Sims j and G. W. Dargau, uominee for j Solicitor. As Marlboro enjoys the' unenviable distinction of being the! i u'liorc ttiiif incwlir>n? fii#? I to Democracy, Independentism, has i developed itself sufficiently to be ablej to put a full ticket in the field, the j good people of this prosperous sec-! tion are greatley encouraged at the i grand demonstration of yesterday, and will see to it that the work progresses from now till victory is at! tained on the 2d of November. Conwayboro, October 6, via Marion, October 7.?The mass meeting to-day | was a magnificent success and, conj sidcring the population, most re-> ! markable eclipsing even that of 1876. j i Three thousand persons were present | iucluding many negroes.

The meeting was in every ' way a grand success Death at the Gaming Table ox Sunday Morning ?The community . was terribly shocked on Sunday morn!ingby the intelligence that spread rapidly over the city of a man having : dropped dead while playing a game of cards.

( Dear Dispatch.?The Democrats of this part of the county regret to hear that some of those who are uumbered ] with us are so disappointed in the result of the last primary election, that J they propose to run independent can- ] didates. We hope upon sober second J thought they will take higher grounds. If they should not, however, we have this consolation, that for the most ; part they are new couverts. Some < miuisters contend that men can fall < from grace, and others that they cannot; but both classes of divines agree 1 that it is the receut converts that fall, ] not the old established aud firmly ! rooted Christians. The Radicals have advertised a ; meeting to take place at your Village, and seeing the effort made by a few noisy men to divide our ranks they prepare to come in and reap the bar- ; vest in our stead. But where is the Simon Pure Democrat that will be 1 thus led astray and yield the county once more to the government of the Radicals? The nominees as well as the defeated candidates are in honor bound to stand by and urge the election of the nominees. I cannot believe that a single nominee will fail to go for the whole ticket, but if there is any such an oue, let the Democracy drop him at once. Let every man who went before the people for nomination show his ttue colors now. And if he stands back or damns our " ?ii- t ' -j- ?_ _ ? I cause "wun iainr praise, ret mm stand aside forever. Let the Democracy hold the fort. A Voter. Trouble in Greenville.?On Saturday as a detachment of red shirts, accompanied by some colored Democrats, were returning home from the joint meeting in Greenville they became involved in a dfficulty with some colored people on the Laurens road, near the outskirts of the city, in which Alfred King and Eli Moore, both colored, were shot and wounded. The Sheriff has begun an investigaI tiou and will make arrests as soon | as he can obtain evideuce of the j identity of the shooting. Some ofj the colored people say that the whites j ! started the trouble, but the statement ! is also made that before the shots j : were fired rocks and bricks were | thrown into the crowd of colored 1 Democrats. The county ticket published by the Greenbackers illustrates its absence | of fixed principles and ideas of policy, i except to unite with any outs to dej feat all ins. In this short list we I have a political what-is-it styling1 I himself now an "Independent Demo- j I crat," several Republicans, an "Inde- j ! pendent Republican," and the balance | of Greenbackers?four distinct fac-j | tions, besides the countless variety of! : shades of opinion represented by : Judge Cooke. We note with uiorti-1 I fication and regret, however, that the | | colored brother who is to do all the j | voting is not even mentioned for an ; | office It's the Greenback-Labor j ! party with a vengence?the white : backs to get the "greenbacks" and the i black backs to do the "labor." That j is exactly where the "Greenback-La-' bor" comes in.?Greenville News. The Sumter Watchman has the fol-! lowing sensible remark: "If anybody | is deceived by failure to nominate a ; Republican State ticket, we are not. i | We predict there will be a ticket; ! polled by the regular Republicans including every officer in the State from Governor to Coroner. We are fools: if we let them catch us with this kind of chaff." The elections in Ohio and Indiana took place yesterday. There is no, definite information as to the result, j Indiana is supposed to have gone Democratic by several thousand ma-' jority. Ohio, Republican, by a very j small majority. For Senator. Messrs.
