It hos boon polities o vor and nu on for tho last nix months. It has boon talkod, discussed and written until o >rybody has bocomo tired. Tho contest is hap pily onded nt last, and tho election on Tuesday determined our rulers for tho next two years. Tho pooplo of South Carolina havo boon as true to the Domooraey as tho noodle to tho pole, and consequently Benjamin Ryan Tillman was oleotod Govornor by tho handsomo majority of botweon 40, OOO and 60,000. This is just what was oxpocted, and proves that tho people of this proud old Stato still havo their fi.vOs sot like steol against Radicalism or Indopondontism, in whatovor guiso or shapo it may array .Itsol! 1er tho ovorthrow of tho Demo cracy .md good government, Tho Domooraey being thus at tho holm ami guiding safely tho ship of State, tho pooplo can now glvo themselves wholly up to the pursuits of poaoo, with a fool ing of security and cortainty as to our political statue. Tho Legislativo Loaves'and Fishes. A prominent politicien and a prospec tivo mombor of tho Genoral Assembly of 1800, was in Charloston last week, rtnd while there was intorviowed by a repre sentativo of tho Ncwa and Courier as to tho probable elections at tho noxt ses sion. Tho biggest light, ho thought, would bo had ovor tho ofllco of Superin tendent of tho Stato Penitentiary. Ho said that at present tho following mon woro considered candidates for this posi tion: J, R. Karlo, of Oconeo; W. Jasper Tal hort, of Edgolleld; G. Gaston, Probato Judge of Aiken; IL R. Thomas, of Sum ter; P. Brooker, of Ridgo Springs. Tho mombor said that at this timo W. J. Talbert, chairman of tho March Con vention, lends in tho race, but what de velopments would happon in tho political world in the noxt month it would be im possible to foretell. Tho success of tho Thomas . factio:> in Sumter might, ho thought, help his (Thomas's) candidacy. Ho thought that tho probablo succes sors of Railroad Commissioners Jervoy and Duncan would bo T. W. Stanland, of Berkeley, and the Rev. J. A. Sligh, of Nowborry. There is some talk, tho gentleman said, about changea in tho JudgOB of tho Su premo Court, but. nothing seems to have yet dovojnpod. No changes aro, how ever, contemplated by tho leaders of tho faction which expects to control tho dis tribution of tho oflleoB. Judge Norton will bo ro-olectod without opposition, ho thought. Among tho candidates for clerkships in tho Legislature, Dr. Sampson Popo, of Newberry, was mentioned as a candidato for tho Clerk of tho Sonnte, and ox-Re presentative I). B. Purlfoy, of Kdgoflold, as a candidate for tho position of Head ing Clerk of tho House. Col. Sloan, tho votoran Clerk of tho Houso, and Sor goant-nt-Arms Brown, ho thought would bo retained. It was generally conceded, ho remarked, that as a roward for his activo work, Col. J. L. M. Irby was to bo awarded tho Speakership of tho Houso if his faction gained control. There have not been any candi.hites an nounced for tho position of '.'resident pro tem of tho Senate. Population of the United States.

Tho general oloction for statu and county oflleors, and for Congress, passed oit quietly on Tuesday, lint a light voto was polled in Oconoo as well ns through out tl ?'J io. Tho fullest roturns rccoived up to this (Thur 'ay) morning iusuro Tillman's election hy a majority of from 40,000 to 50,000. All tho sovon Congressmen from South Carolina aro Domocratic, except tho sovonth, in which Miller, Republican, is probably elected. Oconco's voto for Governor wa? 1,521, of which Tillman rccoived 1,314; Haskell 210. Othor State oflleors, Tillman's tiekot, 1,275; Haskell's ticket, 157. For Congress, Third Congressional District, Oconeo County gavo Johnstone 1,848; Tolbert, 100. Tho Tolbert tickets did not comply with tho law as to size and color, and a protest hoing entered against them, they were ruled out hy tho managers. But if all wcro counted for him ho would only have tho IUD votes above given. Tho voto for our county officers stood ns follows: For tho Legislature: Hon. A. Zimmer man, 1,260. Hon. J. L. Shanklin, 1,250. For Probate .Iiulgo: Richard Lewis, 1,217. For School Commissioner: N. W. Ma caulay, 1,217. For County Commissioners : J. M. Hun nioutt, 1,217. W. N. Cox, 1,217. A. Reardon, 1,217. Tho vote on thc constitutional amend ment, abolishing tho ollico of County Commissioners, yes, 508; No, 444. Tho total voto polled in Oconeo county was 1,580, Tho negroes and Republicans failed to vote to any considerable extent, and a large proportion of tho former anti-Till manites voted the regular Democratic tickot from Tillman down, while sumo did not voto at ?.ll. Only six negroes voted at Walhalla, ono of them voting tho Tillman tickot. Tho regular Democratic ticket is suc cessful in every county, except Sumter, Beaufort and berkeley, where tho fusion Republican and Democratic ticket is elected. Tho next Legislature will have an over whelming Tillman majority. His, there fore, doubtful who will be Senator Hamp ton's successor. The gains by tho Democratic Party throughout tho country have been large. Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Ila-ni ihire, Nevada, Kansas, Rhode Is bn..1, Wisconsin, Nebraska have been swept into the Democratic column. The majority in tho next Federal House of Representatives will bo be tween 50 and 100. McKinley, Cannon and K?ster have been defeated for Con gress, tho whole making a glorious vic tory. Thu Alliance have olected ono or more Congressmen from tho West, and have assisted in the election of a number of Domocratic Congressmen. Gen. Hampton didn't vote. Ile left his registration certificate in Washington. Judge Haskell voted for himself, and Ensor, Republican, for Congress 1 Our Richland Correspondence* RICHLAND, S. C., Nov. 1, 181)0. Du A lt Cou Ul Kit : This is election day and we expect to swallow Till man this time for the sake of the party, but two years from now if tho so-called Democracy expects oui support of the State tickot they must give us a better niau for Gov ernor. There are thousands of bet ter men in the State, and placing Tillman at the head of such a party as ours seems to us the sorriest test possible to parh/ Democracy. Kev. Q, L.

C., October 29. In 1880, according to tho United States census, tho population of South Carolina was 995,077, of which 391,105 wore whites, and 004,472, including Indians, Chineso and negroes, were colored. The popula tion of South Carolina to-day is 1,047,101, consisting of 512,309 white and 034,788 colored, including Indi ans, Chinese and negroes. In the last ten years, on account of the continuous movement of colored colonists to Mississippi and Arkansas, the increase of tho colored popula tion has only boon 30,310, while tho white population bas in the same time, been increased by an addition of 121,264. For every 20,000 of increase in white population there, has been but 5,000 increase in black population.- Charleston World. Railroad Wreck. A terrible wreck occurred about noon, Wednesday October 29, on tho Richmond & Danville Railroad, four miles Fast of Seneca. It was the North bound passenger train. A largo piece of one of the wheels of the baggage car broke off causing the baggage and express cars and two Pullman cars to jump the track. Fight persona wore injured, two be ing badly burt, but nono fatally, Tile porter of ono of the cars was seriously hurt, but hejexhibited com mendable courage and succeeded in putting out the lires in the cars and assisted in rescuing those who re mained inside. Ko continued his work until ho fell exhausted. Phy sicians from Central and Seneca were immediately summoned and the injured were given all the atten tion possible. (Joei? ?or Democrats. WASHINGTON, D. C., November 1. -Thc Republican managers here practically concede, tho election of a Democratic Douse next Tuesday and are paving tho way to an easy down fall by throwing tho responsibility of defeat on tho Senators who opposed tho force bill and delayed the pas sage of thc McKinley measure as long as possible. These Senators, they claim, have lost the party at least twenty Congressmen. Chair man neiden saw the landslide two weeks ago and was shrewd enough togo home, leaving J. S. Clarkson to bear tho burden of tho battle and the defeat. Neither bc nor Con gressman Carter, of Montana, has been herc for a fortnight. Clarkson, however, bas remained nt his post, pushing all tho department employ ees for contributions for uso in thc doubtful districts and endeavoring to Baye as many as bc can. Experiment Station nt Furt Hill. [From tho Cotton Plant.] PHNDI.KTON, S. C., October 20, '90. Will you permit mo to give notice to tho farmers of South Carolina through your columns that on No vember 1st, under thc act making the change, thc Experiment Station of South Carolina begins its work at Fort Hill. It is tho desire of those in charge of this work to bring the Station as closely as possible into sympathetic relations with thc agri cultural people of tho State. We write them to feel that the Station is theirs and ready at all times to take up tho special lines of work most promising of productive results which they can appreciate as advan tageous to their interests. Wo wish suggestions to bo sent to us freely that we may learn the special needs of the various sections of tho State. While it may bo possible that more experiments may bo suggested than can bo carried out, yet thoro will usually bc selected which will most concern tho greater number, Our prime object now is to interest deeply thc people of the State in the work of tile Station. Whilst the College to which tin; Station is at tached will not bo ready to open its doors before next fall, tho Station itself will begin at once very active work. Respectfully, fl, A. STRODK, Director. Around the World. Tho passage of tho McKinley ta riff bill by ino American Congres? bes caused.great exoitomout in most foreign eountrios. Our neighbors on the North, the Canadians, aro espe cially aggrieved booause no provi sion was made xor reciprocity, and ! fuvt "uer boc aviso Canadian gooda must lu tho futuro pay largor instead of small duties. Already the people arc talking of looking up other mar kets. Tho Liberals are strongly in favor of reciprocity. In England there is a general dissatisfaetion with tho provisions of tho bill, and it is reported that manufacturer? aro closing thur establishments in all pnrts of England, throwing thou sands of workmen out of employ ment. Tho probability is that wo shall have as ono of tho fruits of the tariff polioy of tho Republicans a largo increase of immigration. Tho Austrian Primo Ministor is roportcd lo favor retaliatory measures, but tho Austrians do not import many American goods, and it will bo difll- ! oult for them to carry out such a j policy. Sn Franco tho wildest cx 3itcment prevails, owing to tho faot that tho McKinley bill increases the duty on French wines. Tho French havo for a number of years prohibi ted American pork absolutely on the around that it is unhealthy. Thoi Americans retaliated by raising duty on French winos, and now thoro is I great confusion among French wino merchants and the French peoplo generally. Fronch silks are alBo heavily taxed, and thoro is oven talk of a European Zollverein against America. Franco will certainly re taliate in somo effcotivc way. Tho same derangement is felt in Germany where thousands of laborers ?u?vo already been discharged. Thoro is talk that Germany and Austria will I modify their protective polioy so SB to meet thc exigencies created by tho American law that has just gono into effect. Tho following paragraph from tho Memphis Avalanche will bo read j with interest by cotton men and far mers : A bale of cotton picked by machi nery ! That is what was exhibited at tho | Cotton Exchange yestorday. It was the first bale picked by other than human hands ever shipped Lo this or any other city in tho world, and if the machine does what its inventor claims for it he has revolu tionized the cotton industry and at tho same time Bottled, to a largo extent, the negro question. It has been held ns a valid objection to any scheme of colonizing the negro out] of 'the South that be was essential to' the cotton planter in gathering his crop. The inventor of tho cotton picker claims that his machino will do the work of fifty men. If it will, then the negro question is solved, and he will have to seek other employment elsewhere. ?.?? A Springfield, Ohio, man ate, the other day, on a wager, '207 dams, G bunches of celery and two pounds of crackers, besides drinking several cups of coffee. An English sailor, just arrived in Boston, has a peculiar appetite. Nothing delights him so much, in the eating line, as live frogs which lie eats without crushing. Willie Anido, the eight-year-old son of a Spaniard, was shot and killed with a revolver on Thursday nt his home in New York by his in-other John, aged fifteen.
