A De1ensive Cainpaign.
Garfield's friends have had their
hands more than full since his nom
ination in defending him from
charges that have been made against
him. The first charge is that while
Chairman of the Committee on Ap
propriations he got a bill through
the 'House awarding a contract for
paving the streets of Washington,
and was paid $5,000 by the DeGol
yer Paving Company for his ser
vices. This charge is not denied,
but he says he received the $5,000
as a "fee" as a lawyer for securing
the contract for the company. How
could he act as a lawyer to advocate
a measure before a committee of
which he was Chairman and to get
a bill throngh the House of which
he was a member ?. Whether the.
$5,000 was a "lawyer's fee" or a
bribe the case is equally dishonor
able to Garfield. Nobody doubts
that it was a downright bribe.
Another charge is that in 1873,
while a member of the House, he
received stcck in the "Credit Mo
bilier" Company in consideration of
his influence and support in behalf
of the Union Pacific Railroad. When
Oakes Ames was investigated by a
Republican Congress Garfield was
caught and was severely censured
in the report of the investigating
committee.
The other charge is in connection
with the vote of Louisiana, as "vis
iting statesman" in 1876, and his
subsequent conduct as a member of
the "8 to 7" Commission.
With all these charges against
their candidate the Republicans are
having up-hill work of it. Another
difficulty in Garfield's way is that
he is not the choice of his party, nor
of any considerable portion of it: as
a Presidential candidate he is a crea
ture of chance. It is no wonder
then that the Republican campaign
lacks the enthusiasm and vigor of
former years.
On the other hand not a single
charge has been brought against
FIancock ; except that he is a sol
dier and a rebel sympathizer. The
first charge cannot injure him with
his own party, who recognize the
fact that he is as great a statesman
as he is a soldier ; nor with the
Republicans, because three-fourths
of that party weTe dead bent on
having a "soldier" nominated at
Chicago, but were defeated. As to
the second charge it is too absurd
to be believed by anybody-his re
cord in the late war is a complete
refutation of it. These charges
only show the length to which the
Republicans are driven in their
desperation..
The rank and file of the Republi
can party will vote for Garfield,
and would if he were convicted of
every crime in the decalogue ; they
hold to "party" "like grim death to
a dead nigger"; but there is a larger
foating vote that will go for Han
cock than has ever gone for any
Presidential candidate, and there is
a large number who have heretofore
invariably voted the Republican
ticket who will vote this time for
Hancock, and among this number
are many men of much prominence
and influence.
The Democratic outlook is exz
tremely encouraging.
Hendricks on Garfield.
Thomas A. Hendricks made the
best speech of his life a few days
ago at Indianapolis. In a previous
speech he had made some very
grave charges against Garfield in
connection with the vote of Louis
iana in 1876 and the Electoral C
mission. The Indianapolis Joun,~ .,
the leading Republican paper of
Indiana, commenting on the speech,
said that if the charges made by
Hendricks were true Garfield was
a disgraced man, but if not true
Hendricks was disgrac~ed. This
put the ex-Governor on his mettle,
and the next day he addressed a
large public meeting and proved by
the records of Congress every charge
he had made. lie demanded that
the Journal should publish the
speech and sent that paper a copy,
but the Journal would not publish
it. The inference is that the Jour
nal was afraid of the influence it
would have upon the masses. It
was one of the most effective cam
paign speeches ever delivered, and
has done ihe Democratic party of
Indiana a great deal of good.
The charges were that Garfield~
in 1876 declared in the House of
Representatives that the vote in
Louisiana should be thor-oughly in
vestigated ; that afterwards he went
to that State and assisted his party
in doctoring the returns for Hayes,
and that when he was put on the
"Electoral Commission" he voted
against going behind the returns of
th Returning- Board. The poin t
The Maine Election.

had been elected over Davis, Re
puh)blica, )y i,000 majority, and
that the Fusionists had elected
three out of the five Congressmen.
ALr that the reports bega;i to
grow more uncertain and indefiuite,
both sides claiming the victory.
The voters of Maine are the most
corrupt on the face of the earth : a
lv-r proportion of them make it a
riie to sell their votes to the high
est bidder, and each political party
has agents appointed to buy votes
just as corn and cotton are bought
in the markets. The following dis
patch to the Philadelphia Times
shows the methods adopted:
AUGUt;STA, ME., September 14.
The extent to which money was io
play a part in the election was not
magnified in this correspondence of a
week ago. There is not a county in
the State from which there are not
reports of the bribery of voters by the
payment of money in some form, and
the Fusionists of Augusta, Portland,
Bangor and other places have fortified
themselves with affidavits, which will
be forthcoming if necessary, showing
how a great deal was expended. In
some little towns it has become the
fashion for one man to agree to de
liver so many votes for so much
money. This year these ballot-brokers
did a thriving business, and either sold
themselves to both sides, with ne.
cessary result of betraying either one
purchaser or the other, or boldly held
auction and knocked themselves down
to the highest bidder. The way they
announce their being in the market
is to vote against their party at the
spring election. It is then, a question
of whether they and their folleers
which sometimes consist of as many
as a hundred, but oftener of forty or
fifty votes, must then be placated by
one side or the other, on the most
a"ailable terms. Then there are in
every cowiuuity those notoriously
ready to dispose of their own votes,
although they may not be able to con
trol others. A fellow in this town
was taunted yesterday with selling his
vote for three barrels of flour. He
said he did nothing of the kind, but
he only got one barrel and one wvent
to his uncle' anid the other to his
brother-in-law. A country doctor told
me that he had secured two votes for
his candidate for Governior by giving
two of his debtors receipted bills for
the amount due him for medical ut
tendance- Said the venerable ex-Sen
ator B3radbury, the last of Maine's
Democratic senators : "Certain things
have grown appallingly in late years.
Men who ten years iiio would have
knocked you down fzsr suggesting that
they could be bought will now stand
and dicker about the price.'' I mena
tion these little things to show the
venality of a large class (of voters irn
this Statc, and to sustain the broad
charge could quote the testimony that
I had within a week from a dozen
leading men in both parties. All
agree, moreover, that there has bee
more vote-buying this time than ever
before. It sounds queer to hear the
Republicans briuging the charge that
Democratic money carried the State,
for the Fusionists have been noto
riously poverty-stricken. and hereto
fore it has been the Republicans who
did nearly all the buying, and they
expected to do it this time.
It is not certain yet who has
been elected, as it will require an
offlei:l cont, and there will proba
bly be coutests that it will take
some time to settle. One thing is
certain, however, thai: the Repabli
cans have r-eceived a severe shock
in the election. They claimed that
Davis' majority would be at least
5,000, and it turns ont not more
than one or t wo hundred, if he has
a majority at all1. The following
are some of the latest dispatches:
PORTLAND, Septembler 17-1 P.
31.-Four hundred and seventy-two
towus give Davis a plurality of 878
against a Fusion plurality last year of
129. Thirty-four towns not received
gave a Fusion majority of 527 last
year. l.f they come in the same as
last year Davis will have left 303 plu
rality. Adding the scattering to that
received we will have 416, so that
Davis will noUt ge a majority without
a fur-ther gaini of 114i.

The Newberry Lynching.
Elsewhere we give a detailed ac
count of the murder of the Griers,
whose bodies were afterwards found in
Little River, Newberry County We
have no sympathy for men who may
be guilty of the crimes of which these
men were accused. The one great
question with us is, were they guilty ?
To our wind that question with us is
not answered as satisfactorily as we
would like to see. Another matter, if
the parties doing the killing were con
scious of doing the right, why did
they do the killing in the darkness?
And then, why did they tie rocks to
their bodies and sink them in the
river, and conceal the act ? The cor
respondent of the News and Courier
falls into the common error of giving
on general principles detailed accounts
of the wickedness of the deceased. In
such accounts irrelevant matter should
not be incorporated in the report. Be
cause these negroes may have been
thieves or were loafers is no excuse for
the killing.
[Abbeville Press & Banner.
"Were they guilty ?" Unques
tionably they were, of the attempt.
The lady upon whom the attempt
was made positively identified them.
and her statement, with all who
know her, is as convincing as all the
sworn testimony that could be
heaped up in a Court of Justice ?
"Why did they do the killing in
darkness ? and why did they con
ceal the act ?" A sense of family
pride, and a desire to prevent the
name of the lady from being brought
so prominently before the public in
such a connection, are sufficient ex
planations- The local papers of
Laurens and Newberry have appre
ciated and respected this feelng~
from the beginning.
The negroes are dead, and have
met a deserved fate. Lynch law is
a terrible resort ; but it is the only
effectual remedy for cases of this
kind. Leave the offenders to the
law's delay and uncertainty,and the
time will soon come when no white
woman will be safe without a man
standing guard over with a double
barrel shot gun to protect her from
a fate wor-se than death.
Our County Fair. .
The time is near at hand for' hold
ing the Annual Fair of the New
berry Agricultural and Mechanical
Society: the Fair will be held the
6th, 7th and 8th of October. The
Executive Committee have arranged
a very attractive programme for the
occasion. They would urge - the
people of the County to ase their
best endeavors to make the Fair
even better than last eyear. Every
man, woman and child who can
contribute any exhibits should do
so. Special attention is called to
the fact that there is no charge for
entries in Household'Department
A, B and C, Domestic Manufac
tures, Needle and Fancy Work,
Floriculture, Drawings and Paint
ings.
The attendance this year will no
doubt be larger than ever befoi-e,
and sye hope the display of articles
will be of a superior and varied
character.

GGENERAL HAGOOD'S SPEEtHI. or
-"It bfrds me great pleasure, fel- o1
low-citizens of Greenville, to meet you, p
to witness the prosperity of your beau- la,
tiful Mountain City, and to renew th
friendships, in many instances dating =h
from my youth and early manhood. faI
In the first battle of the late war, on (It
the first day of Manassas, I had the an
honor . to carry a rifle in the ranks of p
the Butler Guards, a company which tu
your city and county contributed to le,
the Confederacy. But few of the an
men who the swelled its ranks, and
on that historical field maintained the to
tame and fame of Greenville are here to
to-day. On Virginian hills, beneath ft
the live oaks of the South, and on ru
Western fields they lie, heroes and of
martyrs of the war for Southern iu- la
dependence, yet the company itself ti
survives.. It IS to-day a distinguished in
part of your military organizations. si
The memories of half a hundred hard G
fought fields cluster in its banner and n
its ranks are recruited from the pa. w
triotism and devotion to principle P
which characterizes your people now as
then. That patriotism and devotion to to
principle found a peacable, but no less t)
striking,manifestation whenGreenville, of
in 187, lent her powerful aid to the 01
civil revolution which hurled from T
power the harpies, bred of the war, w
who polluted our State government, ai
and it is not to revive the memories of t;
the "lost cause," sad and glorious as w
they are, but to speak of the results of h
that civil struggle, crowned with vic- r
tory, that I am here to.day. I am q
here to-day as one who has been in T
part entrusted with the administration 0:
of the State government for the last S
four years to give an account of the it
stewardship of the Democracy, and to ai
lay before you its claims to a con- a,
tinuance in power." h
It was true, he continued, that the c
Radical party was not fighting now, tI
having not the mnaterial.wherewith to al
form a respectable State ticket, as they o:
had openly acknowledged in their h
convention. But the Democracy was ri
as much on trial as if a conflict was n
really in progress. It was on trial a
before itself, and before the people, ~
and all friends of good government. si
If it bad kept its promise of retrench
ment, reform and relief, rescued ae
despoiled people from despair, and c
placed thiem on the high road to e
prosperity, it 'could demand a con- r
tiuance in power. If it had niot, its r
leaders could but recall their own im. 'k
precation, and subject themselves to a
be driven from power with scorn and a
hisses amid the indignation of a be- c
trayed and deceited people. t1
He did not claim that they had es- e
tablished a political Utopia. Ex- r
perience would yet teach farther re
trenhment where it was possible, but
they never expected quite to reach the
state wherein the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are at rest. r
But they did claim that by comparison a
with the goverrnmen t they had before. 11
the present one was as the noonday a
light to the darkness of midnight. h
(heers.) The public revenue had b
been economically levied and expend- e
ed. The expenses in many depart
ments had been lower than they were
even before the war, and where they A
were higher it was due to the ne
essities of changed conditions. The
Radicals had charge of the State gov
ernent for nine years, and the Demn
orats for three. Selecting three years
of the Radical rule, not at the height ih
of the earnival of corruption, but their T
last three years, when the indigna
tiou throughout the Union, and the
wrathful miutterinigs at home .co.wed 0
them into what they called "reform -:" a

The Democratic govern mebt
during its three years of
power had collected for
same purposes,.:.:..:.:.: 908,500 v
When these millions left the peo- a
pie's pockets, where did they go ? J
The Radicals paid their County
Treasurrs $151.000 annually in corn- C
missions. T.he Dew'ocrats paid their's 1
35,000 for doing the same work. a
Radical Treasurers had defaulted, as e
shown by the Comptroller General's t(
books for $108,000. Democratic
Treasurers for not one cent. (Cheers.) C
The Demiocrats in actual dollars and ti
cents had saved enough below Radical .
expenditures to' run the State grov- 1
eruient for four years, withont one a
cent of levy., and could show the fig r
ures for t he stiatmet. Another im- a
portant it:!u(t of1 mprovemenIt was in
the levy, and collection of phos- C
piate royalties, In the three years s(
referred t'o, the Radicals had collected
from that source $141,000. In their t~e
three years the Democrats had collect- ol
ed from it 5295.000. It might be I
that a good and honest government AS
niit have stimulated more enter- ni
prise and greater industry in that tr
brinh of business; but he was pre. fi
pared to say that no mean portion of Ii
the gaini was due to the greater dii- M1
gene and fidelity of Demo,cratic in- t
spectors. l I

eers )
The expenses of the penal and char
ble institutions had necessarily in
:ased, for before there was no peni
itiary, each county caring for its
'n prisioners, and the Lunatic Asy
:n was almost self-sustaining, the ex
uses of the inmates, white and col
!d, being borne by friends and
'ners. Now, only 20 of 311 were
id for, and it cost the State $88,000
;t year. The expenses of collecting
e taxes were 877,000 more in 1878
an in 1858, which was due to the
:ct that additional officers were re
ired now. Before the war, land
d slaves paid the expenses. Now
rsonal property: bonds and obliga
)US were taxed, and to discover and
ry on such things an increased force
d expense was necessary.
Tha State debt had been gotten in
ship-shape, the amount ascertained
a dollar and cent, and all taint of
iud eliminated from it. Democratic
le had already advanced the State's
ligation from 28 cents on the dol
to par, and if the people obeyed

terest, and saw that the interest of

Medical Discovery will not raise the

bronchial affections. By virtue .of its
wonderful alterative properties it clean
