Tho JSIcctloit,
At Walhalla, ?nd, BO far as wo oan learn,
tmghout the County, passed off quietly. Not
-ripple of oxoitomont excited hore, and wo
hoard no one hurrah for Hampton or anybody
??Iso. The peoplo voted and loft, at no (imo
-during the day there being abovo twenty mon
?bout the Court House. Thc volo was light,
Walhalla falling off 160 from Us usual poll.
Tho total V?te at Walhalla was 432, as folio wa:
Hampton 861, tho roinaindor of Stato tloicet
348, Aiken 342, Ensor 88; County ticket rang
ing from 838 to 849: Tho Radicals generally
voted for Ensor atone, omitting both the State,
it?nd County ttokot. A few colored mon voled
tho straight Democratic ticket, and a few others
eoratohed Alkc? alono. Tho volo of tho County
fa oxpeotod to fall short of tho volo in 1870 by
?, 400 or 600. While this is truo, the majority for
Aiken will be as largo as In 1870, from tho fact
.that tb? -negro vote is short.
V? <Upto the hour of going to press on Wednes
day cvoning cloven out of fourtoon precincts
hav.O been officially Leard from, showing tho
following result: Telal vote polled, 1,697; Hamp
'ton,'1,389; Simpson, 1,381; remainder of Stato
rtiokct between 1,382 aud 1,084. Aiken for
?ongre?s, 1,800: Ensor for Congress, 217. Tho
fJouaty. ticket runs near together and about with
tho State tloket. Negroes generally voted for
Ensor clone. The three precincts to hoar from
?nnncrt incrcftso tho total vote nbovo 1,850, being
a falling-off of above-seven hundred votes from
tlio poll of 1870. It is believed those precincts
Will poll an almost solid Democratic volo. It
ia to be regretted that our people havo'heca so
lax in turning out to volo, oven though there is
me opposition.
Tho telograph informs us that tho Demo
crats havo been sucoessfnl throughout tho
State. Tho reported majorities are: Abbe

Tn? Weekly Trains.
The railroad authorities have discontinued
the Vanning of daily trains from Anderson to
Walhalla, and will horoaftor run tri-wookly
trains between those points, loaving Walhalla
Mondays, Wednosdnys ?ad Fridays, and
^returning Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur
days. We cannot account for this suddon
?chango, and especially at a season of tho yoar
whoo both the freights and travel are active
We have understood tho freights on this line
have boon bettor thia fall than common, and
tho chango will at onco cut thom off, and
inoronso tho freights over the Air Lino Road
Colton which would have boon brought to
Walhalla will bo curried to points cn the Air
Ijine, and ranoh that ie bought hore will bo
hauled to that road. It will thus injure tho
income of the trunk road to Columbia and
Charleston, and divert trado from Charleston.
This, it seems to us, will bo tho effect of tho
?bango, while tho saving in oxponso to tho
road Will bo trifling. We supposo tho au tori
tics know host, but wo oun't seo it in thoir
County Expenses,
Wo publish in this issue tho annual report
.oT the County Commissioners, whioh should
evory year be oloBoly sorutinuod and pro?
?orved, with tho view of curtailing, if posible,
.county oxpensOB. Thoso publient ions aro
required by law to bo made that tho people
may know what goos with tho taxes paid for
>County exponaos. Tho present Board, so far
.ae wo know, has boen ooonomioal, and
certainly thoir own pay is not largo, as
$579.75 is tho aggrogato sum rocoivod by the
thron mombors of tho Board and their olork,
for mileage and per diem for twelve months.
'While lids is true, tho gross expenditures for
county purposes is fearfully largo, aggregat
ing 6,123.29. For ton yours prior to 1859,
ibo entire taxes Ioviod in Piokons District
i % ranged botwoen $0,000 and $8,000, whilo
Mow Ooonoe alone pays ovor $0,000 for oounty
expenses. It cannot bo the fault of tho
Commissioners, ns tho oxpondituros for roads
and bridges and other purposos in the dior
' - crotion of tho Commissioners aro not oxoos?
nive. It must bo due largoly to tho reform
needed in tho government- by snob legislation
antill economise expenditures in ovory de
partment. It will bo soon that oourts of Trial
Justices obst tho county nearly $1,000, whilo
,,in nil criminal aotions thoir jurUdiotion is

exponeos, both in tho way of ofiloors, costa

gr??* sum of county oxpepsos must coooludo
that great reform is ncedod in this department.
Our taxablo property ia about $1,700,000,
on which sum a levy of throe mills will raiso
$5,100, BO that instead of reducing, we will
have to increase our county taxes, unless our
expenses uro curtailed.
VUe Lecture of BIOD. Walter M.
Gibbon,
On Thursday Dight, of Inst weok, tho poople
of Walhalla cnjoyed a plensuro whioh they
seldom hnvo enjoyed. It had been proviously
announced through the KBOWBB COUBIBB
that on that night tho Hon. Walter M.
Gibson, of tho Sandwich Islands, would
looturo in tho Baptist Church. To moot this
appointment, and to hoar tho distinguished
speaker, quito a largo numbor of our poe plo
gathered at tho church. Mr Gibson's reputa
tion , made our citizens vory ourious to
soo and hoar him, and thoy woro moro than
ropaid fer tho attontion given him. When
tho 'church was noarly filled, Hon. J. S.
Vainer introduced tho upoakor to his audi
ence. Mr Vernor,' in his introductory
remarks, said that South Carolina had con.
tributed moro distinguished and remarkable
mon to tho development of tho now Stntos of
tho Union and to tho now oountrios Wost?
ward of hor bordore than perhaps any Stato
of tho Union. Her sons had penetrated tho
wilds of our Western torritory and had thero
mudo now homes, now settlements and
now States. They had not stopped withiu
thc boundaries of tho torritory of tho United
States with tho coasts of tho Pacific, hut had
gone far beyond, into tho isles of tho Pacific
Ocoao, nnd f.bejio in thoso wild Islands, amid
hostilo tribes and unknown tongues, had
converted barbarism into tho highest type
of civilized lifo. One of thoso sons wo have
with UR hero to-night, whoso reputation ia
known, not only in Moxioo and tho United
States of America, but also iu Europo und
in thc East Indies. His adventurous and
remarkable career mark him as ono of tho
most distinguished mon that have ever gone
from South Carolina, and now after tho expo,
rienco of such a career and tho good fortuno
which always attcad onorgy, persevorenco
und brains, he had como again to old South
fJarolir.a crownod with tho honors of his
idopted home in tho Sandwich Islands, to
moot his old friends and furn now acquain
tances. As South Carolinians wo delight
l,o honor such mon, and when thoy return
EVO onn give thom a hearty wolcotno, and
toro to night we have tho pleasure of aeoing
ind hearing tho Hon. Wultor M. Gibson a
nombcr of tho parliament of tho Hawaiian
jlovcrnniont, Sandwich Islands, of whom wo
iro proud, and as suoh we now take tko
dcasuro of introducing to you, this honored'
ion of Carolina. v-J
Mr. Gibsonv/rcferring to tho remark* of
SIr Vernor; said that tho crodit of having pro
lueed so many men ol mark and national
?ote must bo mainly confined to tho up
jountry of tho State, to a region comprised
ivithin a radius of twonty milos from old
Pendleton. This fine old mountain region
jould claim a host of loaders of mon, such as
Calhoun, Pinkncy, Orr, Chovos, Poinsolt,
iVarron Davis, Waddy Thompson, Husk,
md several scores of ?uah men; but ho did
rot claim to bolong to this roll of honor, of
?oblo names devoted to a country's wolfaro.
LIo belonged to tho olass of advouturors who
nado tho wido world their homo.
What an adventure whon ho sot out from
Sandy Springs, near old Pendleton, alono
ivith his throe children to traverso thc conti
lont; and how remarkable his oxporionco in
;ho Indian oonntry, boforo tho iron rail had
lound tho East and tho West with an afHuont
sand of civilization. At that time ho toiled
torosa tho continent in fivo months, and
recently ho had run with comfort from
sceau to ocean in two wcoks. Ho dwelt
upon ono inoidont of his oarly trans-conti
nental adventures. Ho was in tho Sioux
country, noar tho Sweet Water, and was ot
tho head of bia train of so von wagons. Ho
had como to a hall for tho noon-day meal,
Mid nt tho samo timo tho other six wagons
had halted about a mile back ou tho road,
and out of sight, to assist in some
repairs. He dispatched his son and an assis
tant to hurry up tho laggards, 08 there was
roason to fear tho proscuoo of Indians. Ho
remained alono engaged in making a fire,
whilst his daughter was inside tho covered
wagon. Ho suddenly hoard tho tramp of
horses, and looking un to his di?mny, beheld
\ troop of about 24 Ogallalla Indians in full
war paint. Thoy dismounted from their
?ionios, and approaching him formed two files,
ind every man appeared to have a ramrod or
itiok in his hand. A loador, ottering some
words in brokon Spanish and Indian, ordored
mr traveler to strip, ovidontly that ho should
run tho gauntlet botwoon tho filos of grinning
savages, and bo cudgelled with blows ns long
&s ho oould stand up. Ho loanod against
his wagon in torror, hoart sick at tho
thought of his daughter, fooling, ns sho was
silent, that she levi inintod from torror, and
would bo tho victim of thoso inonstors. As
ho stood gazing in speechley agony nt tho
prospect boforo him, tho leader of tho band
approached, seized Mr. Gibson by his shirt,
and as th' Indian attempted to drag him
forward, tho now aroused father struck the
savage in tho breast, making him reel back
among his comrades, and as our advontaror
rocoverod his position against tho wagon, he
folt his back touched; bo put his hand behind
him, jjraspod a rovolvor, and simultaneously
the wagon cover was raised nud a rifle bar
rel was protruded, and aimed at tho foremost
Indian hy his resoluto dnughtor Talula.
She, instead of fainting, had boon silontly
loading up and putting weapons in ordor.
And now tho faoo of affairs wore ohungod.
Tho Indians wavored and baokod boforo this
unoxpootod battery in their front. A parley
ensued, and boing odored a present of tobacco,
ooi?eo and sugar, ono of their numbor received
tho ransom, and tho dangerous and frightful
band galloped out of sight.
Our travolor stn tod that ho had not planned
to sottlo in tho Sandwich Islands. His stny
li oro was owing to accidental circumstances.
?le had hoped to return to tho East Indio
lalauds, especially to Sumatra, whore ho bad
lyu'pdtttVgn of a sottlornont from tho Sultan
of Jumboo, and hod boen proVontod from our
rylng out his purposo by tho arbitrary and
tyrannical intorforonoo of tho DiUoh Go Vorn?,
mont. And ao helamouted the cirou matancos
that hold ltira back in tho Sandwich Islands.
Ile thon felt disposed to complain of tho hard
dealings of Providonoo that scorned to ship
wreck all his groat hopes. But now as he
lookod baok on his ponoo and prospority and
oxcollcnt opportunities in tho Paolflo Islands,
bc felt that Providonoo bad dealt far moro
wisely and kindly with him than he would
have dono with himself, could bo have forced
bis way East to sickly olimos and among a
piratical people.
Tho Sandwich Islands offered a romarkablo
illustration of a wondorful civilization brought
about by Christian influences. Ho bid his ?
hearers romembor that about sixty yours ago,
the kanakas, or nativos, of tho Sandwich
Islands woro tho sorfs of ohiofs and priests,
and govorned by frightful and abominable
superstitions, and now tho sons and grand
sons of those savages livod undor n constitu
tional ordor of govornmont, had numerous
well supported churches, had an elective
Parliament, oxcollout sohools, an ablo judici
ary nud plonty of newspapers.
Tho Ieoturor said that it would bo a raro
thing to And a nntivo of thc islands, tho head
of a family, who did not subsoribo for a news
pnpor, and rend it, too, And ns ho had boon
an editor in tho Islands, ho could say that the
nativo nowspapors, published in tho Hawaii
an or Kanaka languago, contained a very full
summary of foreign nows, so that kanuka*
woro gonorally well informed nbout forolgn
affairs, especially ahmt nil questions agi ta ?
ting tho United State?. Tho political loan?
lng of tho nativos was decidedly American,
and no doubt should independence in tho
Pacific bo impossible, of which nt prosont
thoro Was happily no evidence, the kanakas
of tho Sandwich Islands would profor tj idon
tify their political futuro with tho groat Re
public.
The lecturer spoko highly of King Kala?
kauo, who recently visited tho United States.
Ho was a gentleman of superior cultivation,
and gavo a cordial wclcomo to Americans
visiting his dominions, and ho doubted not
that should any South Carolinian visit his
capital of Honolulu that it would bo no small
recommendation to claim to be a compatriot
of Governor Wade Hampton.
Owing to tho fact of a royal court being
hold in Honolulu, and that European powers
sent obie envoys to represent their government
at this court, and also owing to tho fact that
maritime powers in tho Pacific mudo tho port
of Honolulu their chief rendezvous, tho capi
tol of tho Sandwich Island*1 surpassed in
many respects in stylo and display suoh capi
tals as Columbia or Richmond.
Ho hoped soon.to 'seo tim telegraphic cable
laid from Co Pacific cease to tho islands, and
thoa wo ?would bo near noighb>rs, and wo
would bo flashing congratulations or condo
lences between Honolulu and Walhalla. It
was curious to speak of a sympathy between
places so divorsod, as those tropic islands and
this interior mi?ntain country; but Provi
dence having cast his lot thoro, and as ha still
proser ved the tondorcst memories towards this
old homo, whore ho bad passed his carly
courting days, ho hoped to draw closer tho
bond of svmpathy between South Carolina
and thc Sandwich Islands, fl : did not want
to tom pt any son of tho old Stato away from
his nativo soil; but should any sock a chongo
ho would be happy to aid him in tito islands,
whioh offered a liberal row ard to tho endeav
ors of tho industrious and the trustworthy.
Don't get in dobt to a shoemaker if yon
would call your sulo your own.

Tho Commissioners have traveled in the
