EDITOR:-Having just \ 'returned homo from attending.? meet in g '' of "Harmony Presbytery iu the little > pillage ol Diahopr ?lie,. I thought. you. wight bo interested iu> ? few of the item* which,. ?V ie probablo, will not . >ppVaV iu the "minutes." ?\ *lt was quite a full, ann cortainly a " very pleasant meeting. Tho crowd OD Saturday und Suuday was Immense. I heard it frequently remarked that "rarely had there been seen sucha col , Jcetloo ol beautiful Ladies." The latest styles flourished extensively-in all their ridiculousness. Even a woman, and ono too, who is a believer to a certain extent iu the bid adage, "It is better to be out ol' t ho world than out of tho fashion," must candidly confess that some of the ? present styles of dress and hair arrange? ment are not only absurd, but actually verge upon tho indclicttte. However, I ? do not intend to moralize upon thc fashions-indeed the men leave us very little to say, inasmuch as they have sccu fit to censure so soverely our little follies in'this respect that many a right think? ing woman who would gladly exert her influence, by writing as well us speaking to restrain thc extravagant aud ungrace? ful modes of dress uow iu vogue is forced by au angry sense of injustice, to keep silent. Mr. Editor, was it over your lot to be domesticated lor H short time with aparty ol clerical bruthcru ? No doubt it hus, and you know, as well a? I, that from uo class of men could there bo gathered a more jovial, merry, light hearted sot. . lu the fan i ly where I staid we had a large crowd all thc time, and greatly we enjoyed eui selves, I eau assure you. Do allow me tu tell you oue or two of the fuuny things thut amused our party uo little-though, you should know the per sous lo seo thu points. One evening, . after returning from church, we were ail gathered iu tho parlor, merrily talking Mdjaiighing, singitg aud playing, and (buliovo us, Mr. lOditor,) flirting just a wee bit! Among our number were several ministers. During a pause iu - the conversation,, tho Hov. Mr. M., a young mau noted fur always saying just what he pleased, right or wrong, to any ouc and at any timo or place, or under any circumstances, rose from his chair, aud crossing the room sat down by old brother G.. "Bro. G.," ?aid he, "it is my opinion, sir, that you should preach altogether without notes. I think you would speak with more animation. Det? ter give them up, sir." Mr. G. looked at tho young mau a moment, slowly moving his grey head, a mischievous twinklejust glimmeriug iu thc corner of his penetrating blue eye: "Um-Um, bro. M.," grunted the old geutleman, "It is my opinion that your sermons should always bc written, and she, point? ing to tho young brother's sister, "ought to write 'em lor you !" Now didn't the old mau get thu best of it that time ? Another time, thc ltcv. Mr. lt. was teasing unmercifully one of the un? married brethren, Mr. 15. "I tell you what, bro. li," said he, "If I was a mom btr of your congregation, I should move that you bc dismissed uutil you got married-a juan without a wife aiu't fit to preach." "Now, sec here, bro. ll.," said bro. D., half earnestly, half in fun, "il you ure joking, all right, but if you are serious, just let mo give you tuy opinion-the Lord don't intend every . mau to (narry, an?'. I don't go beyond His will-il Hu has n mate fur me, Ile will bring her to ino." Old brother G., who was standing near, his hands clasped be fere him, and his head druoped forward in his usual altitude of close attention, turned slowly round and said, "Do you expect thc Lord to do your courting for ' you, brother li.?" This sally 'brought duwn the house,' and peal altor peal of laughter rang through the room. I could multiply incidents such ns these . but lear the repetition will not be us amusing as thc original. Thc Kev. Mr. D. amused us greatly by dolefully lamenting that he was "thc scape goat ol' Presbytery," and that "whenever any of the brethren did wrong ?nd feared they would bc repii . mudded, (hey forth willi told something he had dunc and raised stich a furious din that their shortcomings were en? tirely lost sight of." On Thursday night, the Hov. II. Du Dose, preached from tho text : "The Spirit and l?rido say como." .Hisser mou is beyond my feeble criticism. It Was one that should bc prayed over and not talked about. His rendering ot thu . hy inn, '..Justas I am without one plea," was must beautiful and impressive. I shall never forget the impression made upon mc by thc repetition of tho line : *'() ! Lamb of God, I come," in his deep toned ye! finely modulated voice. God grant thu services of (hat night be bless, cd to many ti weary, hungry soul ! We also hud lino Hermons from Kev. Messrs. l?uist, r'rierson, Mills, Brearley, and Cousin*.' The meeting was a very hnrmoni us ono. Certainly Dishopvillu hospitality will hereafter bo renowned throughout the length and breadth ol thc land. Tho long table literally groaned each day under its weight of delicacies, und consequently, tho lords of creation present were in thc best of humors, and we poor fe m i nines ventur? ed fearlessly fo a-k just as many favors ns wo wanted, for wo all know, Mr. I'M i I or, that tho Wiiy lo a man's heart is through his (low ho it spoken) stom? ach !

EDITOR :-The so-called ?leo ton of last week show? very elcerly/tbe cen ditiou to which thia cou o try m'reduocd. What the real resale wonld he if a Air* couut could be Lad of the Uga! volea polled, will probably never be known If the ?adic?la had been confident of . majority,,why did they not allow at least a few men to oot.aa managers ?nd commissioners, ?ho oould have given the COUD try some assurance on which the country could have relied of fair play in counting the votes? But with tho boxes in the Lands of three co a? aa iee i ooe rs for ten days, to be counted nod reported by them, and each of those commission ors known tote active Scott Sloe es pav , Usaos, what ono be expeated ? Besides, it ia known that very many negroes did not go to the polrs or vote, and will their default be made up by the, "re~ peaters ?" On the day of election, many negroes from the oounty precincts voted in town and then hurried back to the country ? At how many country polls did they afterwards vote? And how ac? count for the arrival, ?eder full steam, late ia the afternoon, of negroes living near country polls and votiog at a late hour at the town boxes ? Different names aro easily given where every fellow has his alias, and it is very easy by this sort of work for each vote to oount three. White men, of course, are too well known, and cou id not, as they would not, do this sort of work. The whole thing demonstrates an out? rage on the franchise which no other couutry would tolerate. It is not only a great wrong to the whites, but also to the blacks, who aro thus held in hand and used by designing and unscrupulous men. For they are thua rn?d?7 ?? cse day, to fasten the wrong.upon us for two years more, and during those two years they will constantly look to the white people for support and aid, to keep them alive, to play the same game over, two years hence. Such a? thing may pass for an election, but it is really an usur? pation and an outrage, and the country will owe a monument to the crafty and unprincipled men or men who sit in thoir houses and engineer the whole machinery of wrong ?nd injustice to the white population, who pay the taxes and furnish thom the money to support their extravagance. 1870. [From the Columbia Phoulx.] THE BND-THE FUTURE. Tho election has passed off. We know not the result. But this wo do know : If South Carolina has been given over for two more years longer to Gov. Scott and bis co plunderers) the disaster is due to two causes-first, to tho apa? thct?e conduct of a portion of the whites ; and sooondly, to the blind, wil? ful and deliberate prejudices of the negroes against the white peoplo of the Stats. Although the deceptions prac? ticed upon them by their radioal mas? ters were fully exposed-although the lund commission swindles were fully ex* posed-although the rascalities, frauds aud corruptions of tho present regime were fully exposed-yet os- a general ruin, tho colored voters showed them? selves the miserable tools and dupes of thoir designing leaders. They spurned thc advances made by men strong enough to be magnanimous and too proud to deceive, and they have chosan thc path laid out for them by interlo? pers from abroad and renegades at home. As for ourselves, whether we emerge from this canvass just closed in victory or defeat, wo come out full of faith, hope ?nd determination. Speaking for tho groat mn?s of tho whites und the faith? ful few of thc colored peoplo, we repeat the unalterable resolve to keep this fight against thc banded foes of South Curo lina, until we find in victory the fruition of our hopes, and in the State saved, ihe end of our labors. Above all lessons do?fl this campaign (each this great(truth, which wo throw out saliently this day, viz : That South Carolina is to be saved nod buili up by tho genius, tho virtue, thc power of tho whilo peo? ple. Wc recall no acknowledgments that we moy huvo made as to the just rights and showing, io which tho colored man is morally and legally entitled Wc stand in good faith by all wo have said-as due to ourselves, and not to those who, in the main, have shown themselves unworthy of our eonsidem fion. Hut with the colored veters, the time for argument, and for concilia? tion, and temporizing, ha* passed. Henceforth let tho white people of South Carolina depend upon their own right atm. They hold tho power in their souls and in their bruins. Speuking for those who intend never, never, uevor to ''bend thc knee to 13aul/' we declare, under God, our firm purposo yot to win. Wc write iu the spirit of the future victor, und we accept tho declaration of tho poet : "Truth crushod to earth will rue again The etornni y curs of GUMI are here ; But Srrov, wounded, writhe? in pain, And tllej-naiong its worrbtppers 1" MEN OV CAROLINA 1 strong ia the faith of truth, justice, and vir tua, siri ng in the instinct? of'race and man hood, if triumphant tn this contest, bo faithful and ma?/nanimrtm-\? defeated, bo true and resolute. Whatever tho result may bc, let us bear in mind that thc duly of work is ever upon us J.ct our people, as well ss they may, go on quietly building up the material strength which, With poli litios! reform, is essential to tho power and influence that we seek.

On this question in the form of a r?solution whioh had beeb submitted, favoring the enfranchisement of women. Oar read? ers, roany of whom, probably, have looked upott this question $S exceed? ingly remote, even in New England, wi If br somewhat surprised to hear that the resolution alluded to was lost by but fifty-teven totet- there being 196 for and 189 against it. , This may be regarded as a fair test in that State, and exhibits the wonderful progress in this direction that is going on. The Republican party have the mat? ter in band, aud, as a party measure, should it be found at all necessary to prevent future defeat, would DO doubt spring at onoe into immense magnitude throughout the whole country. Sup? posing that the women of Republican affinity and. consanguinity-the wives, daughters, staters and mothers-would, in the main, vote in acoord with the men, the majority, would, of course, be double, if not more, for we believe that? the females of thc country oat num? ber the males. And what a glorious state of affairs this would produce at the South ? Aud how easy ? move like this could bo carried in the Southern States, despite tho uplifted voice of ever; intel? ligent, virtuous man and woman in the land 1 Tho "strong minded" women of the North, however, who are in the load of this movement, are by no means oontent to stop at the enfranchisement of their sex, and participation in all the politi cal|ramifications that suffrage necessarily involves. They go for a perfect eman oipntion of woman's rights-a sort of free a/id easy condition for their social and* domestic status-limiting or entire ly removing the legal restrictions now imposed in connexion with connubial tics; and leaving the fair daughters of earth to roam, fancy free, sipping honey from eaoh inviting flower, as, in butter fly plumage, tbey move through the scenes of earth. This is no mere fancy sketch, but the practical results of the present tendency of New England society. The eurrent of events there moves on like somo sur? ging stream, unconscious, in its irresisti? ble madness, of the terrible abyss of woe and degradation to whioh it is hurrying. We of the South aro now linked, by tho stooag chains of military power, to such a civilization as this. And as we have not-boen permitted to escapo its corrupting and contaminating influenoos, in the past, so may we now much more fear its power, when the flood-gates have been turned loose upon ne, and we have nothing left with which to breast the swelling tide of pollution, save the innate and uncompromising virtue that still lives in the Southorn heart. Wo can turn only with hope, as wo look to tho future of,our country, to the Church of Christ. Tho Southern Church, at least, maintain? its peerless purity, and has kept itself free from contaminating alliances-. It may be that the God of heaven and of earth' has saved unto us this precious institu? tion, around whioh we may gather with increased zeal and purpose, for the sal? vation of our country. THir RICS ULT. It is claimed, by thoso who Have given tho matter dose attention, that so ven toon out of thirty ono counties of tho State, have boen carried on tho side of Reform. If this be so, it would give about sixty membors of the House of Representatives and soventcen Senators -a majority of the oounties and so mo? th i og less than amajority of the Legisla? ture. The result has Again been estima? ted as at leuat forty-fivo members ot tho Uouoo and eleven-Senators. Wo believe that, ri tho votes are (airly counted, tho following counties will bo lound on thc side of tho Reform? ers, by majorities ranging from fifteen hundred downward, to wit: Green* villo, Pickend, Goonoo, Spartan burg, Anderson, York, Union, Loxing? ton, Marion, Chesterfield, Marlboro' and Llorry. This would give us something more than ono third of the Legislature. And of this wo do not believe there can bc a doubt, if there bo fair play in tho count. Kdgefleld and Barnwell aro ro ported doubtful. Tho remainder of the counties have most likely boen curried by tho Republicans. Charleston sky huit- been redeemed, andi probably,willuovoragniu full under rudioal rulo, ns n tnuuioipulify. Tho men of Charleston havo uobly perform? ed thoir duty, and the fir nit o? their lobar ls in their bauds. It was a grand spec? tacle, to witness tho gal Unit old eily, shaking off her apathy, and risiug, pin? ioncd as she was, to assort tho dignity of har manhood and froodom from the thrall of corruption into whioh she had fulton.

We leam, from ? reliable source, theta colored man, at tho Stateburg precinct, who desired to vote the Reform ticket, wa? Beset by a crowd of Soott's negroes, who t Ii reaten ed, bullied and abaaed him to su.pb.aQ extent that he left or fled from the polls, without oast ing his ballot. Had he voted at the time, his life would have been in dan? ger. Some of his white friends, it is sta? ted, hearing of the cir o urns tan ceo, later in the day, after much ot the crowd bad left', proteoted him at the polls and scoured for him a "free ballot." This is a shocking state of affairs. "Free speeolr" and' a "free ballot" have been rucg in* our .ears as the watchwords of the party of "moral ideas." And to? day, in fact, this is the most intolerant party that ever existed in South Caro lina. There is no such thing as "free speech" or a ? free ballot," whenever it is thought that threats or intimidation of any sort oan he brought to bear. With the mass of the colored people, these are powerfully effectual. Very many of them, in addition to those who did vote, would have voted on the side of honesty and equal rights, bot for the influence brought to boar upon them. They were afraid to vote as they desired to. We do uot pretend to say that thia was uy uuy means, generally the case ; but we do know that large numbers of them were deterred in this way. And we do-not halie ve that the odored peo pie will long oonsent to remain under this bondage. Many of them, through - out the State, burst the ohains that bound them, in the present issue, and many more will break loose, under proper treatment, when two yeats more shall have rolled around. TOTS O Ut Ii AX CHARLESTON FA IB. The South Carolina Instituto, whose annual Fairs before the late war were so renowned1, and earried such orowds to the city of Charleston, is resuming its efforts on a larger seale than ever be? fore ; and if we are to judge By the splendid Premium List, a oopy of which has been sent us, the Fair this year is to be ? grand success, and an importan* evont in the history of the city and State. Besides a full list of the pre* miums to be awarded, the book-contains a raoy sketch of Charleston, illustrated with numerous engravings, and ac? companied with an able article on the discovery and manufacture of the South Carolina Phosphates. It is indeed a book worthy of any man's library, and no one who can prooure a copy should fail to do so. The Fair will take place on tho famous Washington Race Course, and will be accompanied with races, tournaments, balls, &e. Besides the exhibition on tho Race O rou nd, where, by the way, a handsome and extensive building has been ereotod, there will be excursions around the harbor, boat races, for sail and row boats, theatrical exhib? itions, panoramas, Seo., &o.
