THE TEL D. F. B LY, r. Thu ay, July 5, 1877. Charleston and Darlington Wheel into Line. The election for Representatives fro Charfeston county, and for a Senator from Darlinoton county came ofW on last Tuesday, the 26i,h ilt aid as had boon anticipated, resulted in signal victory for the Democrats. In Charleston county the Democrats spurner4 a compromise with the Ra dicals and put a straight ticket in the field, which was triumphantly elected by about 8,000 majority. The Radi. 'Cals, after failing in their compromise ticket, throw up the sponge and re tired from the contest donoralizod, innking no organized effort to oloct a tickot, a large majority of them ro. maining away from the po]IH, whilo many of thom wont forward and voted the Democratic tickot. The abstinence of tho Radicals from vot ing ta either an evidence of their weak ness or a ruse tG lull the Democrats into a belief that they are scouro in the future, in order to suppris them and carry the municipal oec. tion in the city this fall, and the general election in the county the fall following. We are sure the good Democrats of Charleston will be on the alert and not allow the Radicals to gain any advantago of thom in the next elections by their seoming in.. difference in this. In Darlington, Capt. Colcor, the Democratic nominee was elected with out much opposition, and we heartily congratulate the good people of Char loston and Darlington upon their complete victor. and deliverance from carpet-bag rule. The sea board at last has answered the bugle call from the mountains. Hayes and the Republican Party. President Hayes has issued an or, der forbidding Fecoral ofllco-holders taking an active part in politics, and the assessment of oftico-holders and employees for political p)urploses, stat. ing that politicashall not be a requisite to Governmcnt employment. The Rad ical politicians, who road their death knell in this order, if it should be car riod out, are revolting, and theo Pros idont will evidently have a stormy time in porfecting his civil sorvico ro. form measures- Airoady the rep)ubli cans of Illinois, in their 8tate conven-I tion, have refused to en dorse his South ern policy by a three-f'ourths vote. in the New Hamphiro Legislature, a ro solution endorsing the President's ac tion in the romoval of the United States troops and the restoration of self-governmont in Florida, Louisia na and South Carolina, was defeated by a strict party vote, all the Republicans voting against it. There is evidently a fight brewing between Hayes and his party, but which will come out victorious Is a question of the future. 4Ohiory" Carpenter in trouble Again. Thbe joint investigating committe, noQw in 8ession, in Columbia, in their investigation discovered, on the 27th ult., the evidence of a swindle by wich the State was mulcted of $1,200, in 1872. T wo pay certificates for re spectively $95 and $55 were issued to the proprietor of the Columbia Daily Union on account of public printing. Upon examination, it was found that each certificate had been raised by the the amount of $600, by the addition of' the figure 6 before the figures 95 and 55. The fraud was so glaring that L. Cass Carpenter was at once airrotd on the cbarge of forgery, and hold in bail of $2,000 for a preliminary exam ination before Trial Justice Marshall last Friday. Subsequently the com, mittee discovered evidences of more fraud by the same party by which lhe had received $3,260 for advertising the identical laws for which he had al,% ready received *1,850. On the prelim-. inary examination, he was hold in ball of $3,000 f or hits appearanco be fore Judge Kershaw In the Court of 'Sessions in Columbia this week. Yellow Jack. A dispatch to the board of health New Orleans,.dated the 27th ult. says: That there havo been 188 deaths in the past two weeks from yellow feover t the inilitary hospital a hundred sie from Havana. This is the only plu. Iih the tropics where fever has smad, Its ajpearance. TheBHamptoat Democrat has boon vhanged to?"The Colleton Demnocr tn at ' Sag ton." jIn cot icleQ t4e 4d Couri ugges hat if, ti 'o6nnjis-. slon, poin tthe t se"ion of the islat , to i tigate 0he irdob ness o e Sta have it 'n tiir or to I sit Now York, to - amino the bonds, it would would be cheaper for the bondholders there to pay the expenses of the Commission than to ship their bonds to Columbia; and says the suggestion is. worthy the consideration of the Commission. 'the Commission, undoi' the provisions 'Z the joint resolution creating it, cannot sit anywhere except in Columbia, but we think it would have boon well to have given the Commission power to visit Now York in the progress of their work, if they should doom it to the interest of the State to do so, and so expressod ourself at the limo of the passage of the resolution. But the Abbovillo Medium, tho only journal in tho State which advocates squaro out repudiation, thinks the suggestion of the News and Courier a "cool propo Pition" in favor of the bondholders, and concludos its comments thoron by the following unkind and ungenors ous fling at thoso inembors of the Legislature who advocated the uphold ing of the honor and credit of the State. The Medium says: "if it is so that the body of tho bon dod debt is hold by New York brokors, then the pion of tho appropriationits, in the recent sossion of'tho~lOgislature, tlhat tle treasury would bo flooded with cou p0n8, if the interest on the public debt was not specifically pro vided for, falls flat to tho ground, and it appears that tho advocates of the 8270,000 tax levy either did not know what they wore talking about or that they were playing into the hands of the bondholders against the interostis of the taxpayers and tho honest crod itors of the State." "The advocates of the $270,000 tax levy" did know what "they woro lalking about," and woro not "playing nto the hands of the bondholders i igainst the interests of the taxpayers uind the honest creditors of' the State," r is the Medium would have its renuders aclievo. The prevention of' the flood% e ng of the treasury with coupons was t mot the only argument used in f;avor t >f levying the tax to meet the interesti )n the bonded indebtedness, wvhen as, aertained to be legitimate. The t strengthening of Hampton's ad mi ois, t tration, the rest.oration of the' wred it of the State, and the placing >f tbo Democratic party beyond the t ho possibility of'z a(defeat in tho next ) 'lection, by avoiding an enOrmous tax evy just before the election, was a t tigher consideration, and those w ho 6 idvocatod the 6270,000 levy are ncit,h- < ri dnpes or fools, as .implied by the l angulage of the Medium. Hubbard Arrested. A w~arrant was recently forwarded1 romn Pickons County, directed to Jus lice Marshall, of this city, against4 [ohnm B. .i[ubbard, a Deputy United states Marsbal, stationed at this point. ['ho charge made against fubbard ,vas that of assault and battery with ntent to kilt upon a white man, Mr. i. M. Porter, who resides' in Pickens LDounty. Justice Marshall demanded 1500 bail of the a.ccused, and he being unable to secure a bondsman was sommitted tojail-Columbia Registor. The Fire Fiend. A terribly (destructive fire occurred in St,. Jothn's, Newv Brunswick, on the 20th uilt, destroying over half the city. A telegram dated Juno 21st says: "St. John's is almost totally do stroyed All the public buildings are burneod. Fe w business houses are lef t. Fully one half of the residences are in ashes. 15,000 people are homeloss Women and children are ini the streets crying for bread. Thirt,een dead bodies haive been recovered-many others are missing. The area burned covers 500 acres. Loss estimated at $15,000,000. Insurance, $6,000,000.

A fire occurred in Marblehead, Mass., on the 25th ult,, d9stroying 72 buildings, including all t he large shoe ihanufactorios, except thro. Hlundredse of men and Women are thrown out of employment.

Under the recent act of the Lo,e ;slature, we notice that~ the white nilitia in many part.s of theo State is >Oing rapidly organized. Can't Pick,. ms get up a "milish?"

HAMPTON ON SOUTH CAROLINA j PiosprcTs.-On his way to Auburn, Governor 1ampton conversed wit,h a Herald reporter on the situation' in South Carolina, and gave a ohearing account. He &ays that all classes of I the people are contented and secure in their rights; that the colored poo, plo have once more gone to work; that a fair proportion have boon ap% pointed to offices, and that all pros cription for any cause has disappear ed. That all parties are now 'agrood upon the wisdoin of the policy which gave the State self government; and he anticipates a considerable omigra. tion into the State, being in the re. ceipt of numerous letters of inquiry oun thO subject of lands. The credit of the Stato, he says, will be honestly maintained, and all its debts paid. All this sooms a little hard on the people who oppose the President's Southern policy. But such is life.-New York Herald. Many a woman thinks sh3 can do nothing without a husband, and when dhe gets one, finds she can do nothing with him. The Baptist Theological Seminary has been removed from Greeville to Louisville, Kentucky. The Turko-Itussian war is pro gressing elowly. The Russians have crossod the Danube, but no decibive battle has been fought yet. TiE CROP.-After copious and seasonable showers for several days, t,he clouds cleired away last Sundaiy night, since which time the wveathor has been dry and warm. Corn is growing finely. Cotton is reported geSnrally na~ doi tolraly l. The. most serious complaint isi that the crop is from two to three weeks back ward. Wheat and oats are being rap idly harvosted, and already the hum of the throshing machine is heard in the land.
