The Outlook. Next Tucsday, the 10th instant, the State elections in Indiana, Ohio and WVest Virginia tako place. .At the out-set, the Democrats conceded Ohio to thme Repuic)'ans, but since the can, Vass fairly opened, the Democracy has mnado such good head way as to almost intsure a1 victory. Tho Republbcans have become alarmed, and many of' them have given up) the State. In diana, in which the Democrats had the advantage, has beon the battle field and the Republicans under the load orship of Morton have been making dqsperato efforts. The bloody shirt has flapped conspicuously from every Radical rostrum in the State. Money be been used without stint, and every effort made to colonize negroes from Kentucky, and white Radicals from thme East to carry tho olection. But notwithstanding all these great efforts on the part of the Radicals, the State is considered safe to the Domocracy, and "blue jeans" Williams' majority for Governor is put dowvn at from ten to twenty thousand. WVest Virginia will, undoubtedly go Democratic. But the election in Ohio and Indiana is considered by the politicians the pivotal point, upon which the Presiden tial election turns. The Ra-.licais claim Shat if they carry both States, their ehances to olect the President are cor, tain, while they concede that if the Democrate carry Indiana their eban e*s will be the reverse. The Demo-. oqtate aro sanguine and feel no fears as to Indiana, while their hopes as to OlI$o have been greatly buoyed up. While we are confidont of carrying n Uiana, and have good hopes for Ohaio, we do not feel that it i'm abso lutoly necessary to carry either of t7im to secure the Presidential elec ston. The chances are good for "a AMid South," which has 188 votes. The Democrats will undoubtedly ear, zytheo thlree Paciflo States, to wit, f~aorma,Nevada and Oregon, which have 12 votes. In the East the Dem. -ggswill carry, beyond a doubt, (soeot, New Jersey and Now Y*ekg whicih have 60 votes, making a ftIts of 200. -This would givo Mlr. Tildon 15 more votes in the Electoral College than are necossary-185 bo, ing necessary to eleet. In the above calculation it .Pill be seen that wo have included 4:uth Carolina, which has 7 votes, and Florida, whieh has 4 rotes, or a total in the two States of 11 votes. We can give these to the Repvbliuans and still havo 189 votes left, 4 more than are absolutely neces, Raty to elect. So it will be soon that wO (a) give the R.epublicans Indiana, Ohio, South Caroliua and Florida and still elect Tilden by the States that are certainly Democratic. This, we think, places Mr. Tilden's election beyond a doubt, conceding to the Re publicans every State that there is the remotest possibility of their carrying. We havo taken the worst possible view of the situatiou and can find no reasons to doubt the election of Mr. Tilden. Encouraging Account. On Monday last we had the pleas uro of meeting Capt. T. V. Russoll, one of the leading merchants c f Eabloy Station, who has just returned from New York, Philadelphia, and Balti more, where ho purchased a 6plendid fall and winter stock of' goods. Capt. Russell gives us a very encouraging accout of tho political prospect North. Ho says that Tilden stock is certainly ahead and rising overy day. Across streets and upon buildings he saw more than twice as many Tilden and Hendricks flags floating as ho did of Hayes and Wheeler flags. From con versation with many prominent men ,nd from close observation, he feels ::onfidont that, Tilden is ahead two to >no. The Northern people are taking much interesL in the contest now gos ng on in this State and without re pard to politics universally desire hat Hampton should bo elected Gov 3*nor. All the Republicans ho con ersed with were unqualifiedely in fa ror of his election. They have no )onfidenco in Chamberlain and the wrew lead by him, and say' that the so yalled Republican par ty int this State s doing the pazrty Nort.h an inacalcula blo0 injury and they desire to0 see it go wnas soon as possible. Nine-tenthas Af the Northern Republicans would, if they were citizens of'the Stait, votoe forl Hampton and reform, atud it is passing strange to us, to see a few na tive initelligent whites clinging oni to the rotten carenas of Radicalism. -Ge,neral Hagood's Report. Judge Wiggin requested General Johnson Hagood, the .Democratic nominee for Comptroller General, to summon a possee during the late riot ailong the Port Royal Railroad, and iisperso the rioters. Gen. Hagood has made an official report to Judge Wiggn, in which he ays that within thirteen hours four hundred and ses venty five citizens of Barn well County responded to his call, amongst them the colored Democratic Club of Barn well County. Hoe scoured tihe dis turbed district thoroughly, and found that the white citizens of the vicinity had completely siuppressed the riot, and that the riotous negroes had fled to the swaps. General Hagood in his report, says that there were two whites killed, one wounded severely, and three slightly. The rnumbcr of negroes killed, including those in Aiken County, is probably about thir-ty. The negroes burned a great many buildings. New Converts. Judge T. J. Mackey, one of the most prom inent and able Republicans In the State has declared for Hampton and his ticket. He made a speech at Chester on the evening of the 23d uit, In which he declared that he would stump the State from the Blue Ridge to the Atlantic in behalf of Wade Hampton and Re form. lie said that the money that had been stolen from the State during the past eight years, would be amply sufficient if now in the l'reasury, to run the State, free of expense, for eight years to come. Martin Rt. Delaney, the colored candidate ror L.ieut. Governor on the Independent Re. publican ticket two years ago, has, in a letter in the News and 0e0.',, nw -' fo Hamp,. ton and the entire ticket. He is i. 'ques tionably one of the best educated and i ost sensible men of his race in the State. Judge Townsend has also declared for Hampton, and it is said that Judge Northrop Is ready to come over. There are many other prominent Republicans in the State who have declared for our ticket. end the accessions in crease daily. ERATAv.-In our last issue we said that Jeremiah Looper, Alonso M. Folger and John R. Oossett had been appoInted "Jury Commlssioners" of this Count~y. We should have said "Commissioners of Election," in stead of Jury Commi&sioners. General Braxton Bragg dropped :lead in Galvesi,on, Togas, on the 27th uit. His death was produced by heart. dinenae. Preferne. The Democrats in var-ions sections of the Stato have determined to give to those Repubiivans who come over and vote with- them employment in preference to those who stand out and c vote against them. Resolutions to e that effoect have boon p:.rjsed by se. veral % the clubs in Charleston, Co t lumbia, and in fact, in nearly every . County in the State, except, perhaps, j a few of the upper Counties. a The News and Courier advises the a people of Charleston to buy their beef, etc., exclusively from the Democratic butcherers in that city, and says there are pleity of that class of butelsors to c supply nll the demands of' tho citizonp. This movement is taking deep root throughout the entiro State, and it thoroughly carried out, is likely to create a revolution in politics. It you food a negro and talk politico to him, he will vote ngtinst you all the time; but it you mix his polities with his g rations it cpons his eyes at once. The White peoplO certainly have the means of controlling tho election if they will only apply it.. T. Hamilton, a colored Republican member of the Legislature, and a rico planter in Beaufort county, , says that ho considers iL fair and le gitimato for the employer to require his emp!oyooe to vote with him or turn them off. He says that he ex. pects overy hand employed by him to vote the Ropublcan ticket, and if they don't, do it, ho will turn them off i and employ those who will. The white men have the right to do the sam , and if they adopt the plan and carry it out fully, the negro will be either compelled to vote with him or starve; these two aro the only alter- e nativos ho would have, and it, is not i reasonable to suppose bo would adopt ( the latter. The taxpayers have a legal as we!l as moral right to adopt this courso toward the negro if tlwy, choose Io. And why should they not? Isn't it perfectly natural that we should( help those who help us? Should we not employ thloso wh'o vote with, and assist us in restorinig to aill the people an honest andl capable a government, in p)refcrence to those, who voto against us, aind by their ii votes keep) ini power a set of meni wvho I rob and plu nder us, and who havy al ready brought us to theo verge of bankruptcy and ruin ? We think it is, and whether this courso is adopted or not, we say that the taixpayers have a right to do it, andl if they do, and carry it. out folily, t hey can cer L.ainly control the election in the State just as easy as theo elections are controlled in Georgia, where they na Lurailly haive a Decmocraitic majority. Thoey should givo those who voto wvithi them the preference at least. n Yellow Fever. Tb'c yellowv fever' is raging terr'ibly a1 at Brunswick, Georgvia. Over half a the population have been strioken down with it, and great suffering C prevails. Aid has been sent froms nearly every section of the Uniion. Iii Savannah, the diseaso is gradually y abaiting. In Charleston thcre hase been but few cases, and th)ey were t brought in from a ship at quarantine. Trhe disease is not epreading, and the frost will soon put un end to it. Mit. EDITOR : Our Twelve Mile Camp Meeting was one of good result. The meeting commencod on the nighti of the 21st ult. 'The Presiding Elder was present at. tbe fir6t services, and remained until the meeting closed on Tuesday morning. IIe labored .for the salvation of souls. We had some excellent sermons on that occasion. The rain fell profusely on Thursday night, and we was also threatened on Friday; clearing off, left us with fair weoather. The ground was wvell tent, ed, and most excellent congregations. We closed with twenty eight acces sions and about thirty conversions; there was power to convert from the ago of eight to seventy three years of ago. The conduct was tolerable good. We closed on Tuesaay morning with a lecture from our beloved Presiding Elder, to the converts. Thanks be unto God for giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Rev. 1'. P. PnIITtIvs, P. C.

WV. WV. F. BRIGHT, Pres. OV WASINGTON 11"101. WASHINGTON, Sept. 2N01876. "an 9M5 vis3al. Washingtonians, who have beea so long lundered by gas geads, are glad to see that ther cities are also loudly cowplalslqg of the xtortions of their respective compesles. The >ress of Baltiuore, New York and Chicago ounsel the estabbshment of public gas works y cities and towns throughout the country. 'hat is what it will have to come to at last, n Chicago, the extortion of the gas companies oes so fhe as to demind $700,000 a year for upplying the street lamps; and judging ftom he indignation tiis wholesale plunder has xcited, we would not be surprised if that ity were the first to adopt the proposed re medy, and to demonstra'e to other equally ippressed cities the practicability of this plan if relief. The New York Graphic has started mut, in real earnest, in favor of cheap gas and if the city being supplied by public gas works t cost. The New York Journal of Cominerce, ather conservative in its views on all ques ions, takes strong grounds against the gas nonopolies; and, referring to the fight now ;oing on between the Government of Chicago iad the gas companies of that city, comes to he rescue in this wise: "The only sure re uge from the extortion of the companies, as we have often said, is in the establishment of ?ublic gas works by cities and towns. Then, as could be supplied to consumers at rates -overing the bare cost of making; and those tre far below the lowest now charged. If 'hicago will try this, she will settle the ques ion in the only permanent and satisfactory way, and set an example which we hope to iee copied everywhere." This is thadoctrine, md it will not be many years before gas will )e thus supplied in every city where it is now ised. Artificial light is a necessity; and s no reason why it should not be furnished inder the same regulations as water. A HINT TO AMER1CAN RAILWAY COMPANIX8. The English railroads were, some years tgo, compelled by law, and against their own udgment, to put on their tracks third class rains, with greatly reduced fares for per ions of moderate means. There were fervent )rotests and much grumbling; but the experi, nent wau tried. It resulted in such increas d travel that the profits of the roads were ;r' tly augmented; and some of them have i sIved from net loss by the profits of the I , third class cheap trains. American roads 3 git learn a lesson from this. The railroad gents recently in session in N. Y. City voted o still further reduce fares both for Centen ial and all other cravel, but they defeated a esolution to cut them down one quarter. his vo e, we judge, was short sighted from a nancial point of view. Centennial travel is ery large; if fares were still further reduced, would be larger yet. The cheap fare po cy is the paying policy. One of these days hie people will get tired of paying private om panies such high rates for transport at ion. *nd will instruct their servants (the Govern, nent) to build and manage all public roads, o that we may then locomote and transport >roduce at cost, as we now send our letters uid postal cards. JAPAN AIIEAD OF US. Speaking of our postal system13 reminds me hat tihe Post Office Department of the Empire f Japan, which was organized only live errs ago, has, uip to last advices, established ~,500 post offices, and has already gone ahead f us in one very important particular. Con ected with the money order offices of that nmpire are post office saving banks. The eople are thmus provided with perfectly safe epositories .or their surplus earnings, be,~ ides being allowed a moderate rate of inter, at; while the Government is provided with unds for the prosecution of enterprises ben ficial to the general public. V#ill not our tatesmen who are prating of reform take a int from those of Japan.'' The "reform" roposed by our benighted or bedevilled wis acres merely contemplate taking all the "big hings" away from one set of scamps and ;iving them to another set- By "big things" s meant, of course, opportunities to defraud he people. And the very worst and meanest f the moral frauds perpetrated upon the eople of the United States are the legalized rauds. 0111o AND INDIhNA. As the October elotions approach, the inter ~st, all over the country, In the result of Ohio nud Indiana increases. Perhaps at no cther ine in the history of these two States, was he feeling more inten se, and the organization >f both parties more cornplete, than just now. Ln Ohio, the temperance question will have more or less influence on the election. Again. he German Republicans are reported by the Democraticjpress to be disaffected all over the West; but to what extent, is not known, and ipparently, can not be satisfactorily ascertain ad. There seems, again, to be no doubt that the Greenback candidate for Governor, in [ndiana, will poll between fifteen and twenty thousand votes. The result in that State, both iri October and November, will probably lepend upon which of tihe two great parties he Greenback party draws the most votes fronm. TH E~ Pass1DENTIAL E)LECT1oN. Thme general impression appears to be that if the Presidential election had taken place mediately after the discovery of Belkoap's malfeasance, Tilden and Hendricks would have certainly been the succesful candidates, fhere would have been a direct appeal to the public on a simple proposItion of honesty and reform, based on a theory of corruption in the Republican party, and illustrated by the >rlme of a Cabinet offier- But the Republi sas have had time to sound the tocein of ilarm; and they now boldly accuse Mr. Tilden >f having been a traitor to the Union cause luring the war. And this false charge has ilready shown Its strenmgth in Vermont and b1aine. Friends of Mr. Tilden int those Btates say that if documents setting-forth his servlce to the Union caus had been widely airculated, the results of their respective el actions would ha;ve been more satisfactory to 41 the Democracy of the country; and that bis WUence 'ee that foint, upon which an ever w0lmimnajority of the people of Maine and Ypenon, and, Indeed, of the entire North, amor* sensiie the on any other, aas eotrued by them into a want of sympathy E with their strong Union sentiment. This, of i sourse, Is a mistake of. the people, arisIng 0 from Mr. Tilden's proverbial slowness. It a will be remembered that Mr. Tilden was very y dilatory in giving4p the public his letter of acceptance-so much so as to-cause his friends a good der.l of unfarizess. But the point is this. Some thousands of people, all over the North, are working very hard for him now; g and it is to be hoped that he will no. lunger , delay to furnish thee with facilities for proving him, beyond all doubt or cavil to have been a Union man during the rebellion. His friends in the North have more difficulty ( on that point than on any other. Such adocu- I mentt as has just, been described, thoroughly t and indisputedly endorsed by well known, ac tive leading Union men in New York during the war, and widely circulated, will enable the Democracy, having a United South to start with, to carry enough Northern States to give Mr. Tilden 260 votes in the Electoral Oollege. The election in Georgia, for Gov ernor and nomber8 of the General Assembly, came off yesterdy. 01' courso we have not seen the reislt yet, but predict 75,000 majority for the gallant Colqiitt. Col. Thos. G. Bacon, of .E.lgefiel'h well known to all lovers of the turl, died on Monday of last week. MR. EDIToR: In connection with my cord published in your issue of the 21st uit, I wou'd state that Mr. J. Perry Looper camue up to where Judge Philpot, W. F. Gary and myself were sitting (at Easley camp meeting.) and after some conversation, asked Mr. Gary if the Republican Convention made any nom, ination? Mr. Gary replied. "No. We elect, ed our delegates to State Convention-but G. W. Singleton offered himself a candidte on the Republican ticket.." Mr. Looper said, "surely not, you are mistaken." Mr. Gary said, "yes, he did, did lie not Folger." I un derstood the joke, and replied, "yes, but we were disposed to help the weaker man, and would have to take up Prof. Carlisle." The whole thing was a joke, and was started on 1thae evening previous, by a friend of Mr. Sin. gletona and Prof. Carlisle, and in their pres. ence. I am sure that it. was not intended to hurt feelings or injure any one, but was all passed as a joke. Very respect fully, A LON71O M. FOLG E R. W. A. LESLEY, PICE ENS C. U., S. C.
