Comments of tho Precs.
H'Aiif the Leadtnj Journals of Various Shades of
Opinion sap about the Result in Ohio.
The magnet which drew the disaffected to the
Republican ticket was the unmistakable ft rum ess
of the party for equal rights in the South. Had
tlie Republicans taken the highest ground on the
currency, we believe they would have succeeded
equally well and their victory would have had
.! ' gieal%* valucv But the significance of the victorylie^^n
tTie evidence which it affords that
the people of Ohio, fairly representing tho people
of the North, are thoroughly aroused us
to tho tendency of Democratic rule, and are resolved
to overthrow it wherever it has gained a
footing.?New York Tithes.
Tlifs decisive Republican triumph is of nationar
interest. Besides disposing of several
prominent Ohio statesmen, it will inspire courage
and hope in the Republican party throughout
the United States. Kvcu locally it is of considerable
importance. It extinguishes Senator
Thurmau's chances of reelection and puts an
cud to any lurking aspiration which Ewing iuay
have had to be Thurmau's successor. But these
.......? ?? .n~ ??>
The grent significance of the Ohio election lies
in its intlucnce upon national politics anil its
bearing on the selection of candidates ami the
success of pnrties in the great l'rsidcntial contest
of next year. It makes it impossible for the
Democratic candidate to betaken from Ohio, and
favors Tilden's chances of nomination by putting
some of his principal rivals out of the field.
Rut in proportion ns it improves Tilden's chances
of nomination it diminishes his chances and
the chances of any Democratic candidate for an
election. If Now York should follow the example
of Ohio. Tilden would simply loso his labor
by intriguing any further for the Democratic
nomination, and he may prefer that some other
candidate should lead the forlorn hope. The result
it* Ohio tends to a Republican success iu
New York, and should this bo the actual ellect,
Tilden may bid a long farewell to Presidential
honors.?yew York Herald.
All that can be asserted positively of the result
in Ohio to-day is that the Republicans have
failed to take that great Commonwealth out of
the wavering line of States doubtful for 1880,
and to plant it, ns they hoped to plant it, in the
van of the Republican column, where of old it
used to stnud. Mr. lllainc stands on as fair a
footing to-day in Mninons Mr. Sherman in Ohio.
Mr. Ewing has been beaten, as he elected to be
when at the outset of his canvass he deliberately
abandoned the strong ground of an outright
Democratic protest ngninst the votes of President
Hayes, and undertook to counter with his
own financial theories the stalwart facts of a
iimgnincciu narvest in me ncsi, 01 unparalleled
crops at the South and or an intlowing
* ",e of g?U from Europe. It appears, even
from the partial reports so far received, that the
Democratic candidate in Ohio owes his defeat
chiefly to the stern hostility provntml ,.?,* ? me

Tribune. *
Ohio has in a very distinct manner repudiated ri
both Kwing ami Thunnan, and with them the
Uttuncial heresies which they have advocated, E
and it has declared itself so emphatically in favor
of *11 that is worth while in Republicanism ?
that nothing but egregious bad management on {
the part of the Republican leaders, combined
with superlatively good management on the part s
of the Democratic ditto, can prevent the Kepub- a

electoral vote of the State-?1'hiUtdelphia Tele- t

While, how'jVCr) (jcn. '^wing was put forward
as the Oo^^ocratic candidate, he was known as
an advocate of soft money and of the oppressive,
inquisitorial, unconstitutional income tax. The
circumstance that lie held to such unsoun l ami
odious doctrines goes fur to reconcile us to his
defeat.?New York Sun.

Ohio is firmly fixed in the Itepuldican column,

made necessary by the ominous threats of a
"solid South." Further, the result in Ohio indicates

The result effectually disposes of what is popularly
known as the "Ohio idea" in finance.?

Andalusia, Malaga, Alacanteand Murcia. Several
villages are in ruins and railways and crops
destroyed. Over three hundred lives have been
lost. The churches and public buildings are occupied
by thousands of ^gitives who were coin
peilcJ to flee from their homes during the night
to save their lives. The Spanish Cabinet met
yesterday to decide upon measures of relief for

he administers the law. The Judge is not an

not require the escort of the Shoritf in going to

A Rnra Avis.
Mr. 1'. P. Hamilton, Sr., caught, at Wood's
Ferry, on Rroad River, two weeks ago a very
large "soft shelled" Turtle, which measured at
least 18 inches ncross the bask?we have not
heard its weight. This kind of Turtle is very
rare so high up in the waters of the State, but
we are informed that several smaller oues were
c night in seins, the past year, in the san.e
vicinity. We don't know that an ugly Turtle looks
much like a "rare bird," but the varmint's npDcarance
in these ouarters looks verv much as if
it must have used wings to get over the many
shoals obstructing its passage such a distance up
the river.
Rain at LastWe
have had most welcome and beneficial
rains since last Friday. Perhaps those Farmers
who heve not hecu able to keep up with their
cotton picking would have preferred the that rain
had held of!" two weeks longer; but by thut
time the oat. crop would have been lost, which,
considering the short corn crop, would proven
very serious loss next Spring. The Turnip crop
is about ruined, and that will be seriously felt,
unless sowing this late should be sncoessful.?
The weather has turned quite col 1, making fires
and winter clothing necessary. It is now feared
that wo shall have too much rain, and greatly
damage the cotton remaining in the fields.

A Dramatic Association.
Union has a large amount of musical and
dramatic talent lying idle about her young Ladies
and ircnllcmcn, which should he cultivated,
for the improvement of those who possess it as
well os occasionally for t ho amusement and recroalion
of the citizens generally. One of our
brightest and best Ladies has suggested that a
Dramatic Association be formed at onco, by the
young Ladies and gcutlcmen of the town, with
at least 0110 weekly rehearsal. We most cordially
endorse the suggestion. If it would do nothing
more it would crcato a more social intercourse
among the young people and thereby exercise
a refining and restraining influence upon our society.
I.cl the Dramatic Association be formed
at oncc.
No Money iu the Treasury. " ]
Grout disappointment was felt by lBCTCrcditors.of
the Couuty, nt tho last meeting'if tlie t
Hoard of Commissioners, upon being Informed 1
I bat tbcro was no money in the Treasury.-?.
Some grumbled ill the Comnussioay ^nd J

is that almost every dollar he bad receipt! up
o that time bad been paid out for Jury mid
witness tickets and other expenses of the Court;
ind, in fact, be barely lind enough to meet ~
hose expenses up to the hour the court nd- p
ourncd. Neither the Treasurer or the Com- G
iiissioncrs liavo any interest in keeping back I'
lie money of the County when creditors call |
for it. We think we know nil ot them well ^
jnough to say that nothing would give them L
?reatcr pleasure than to meet every demand N
lpon (lie County, with ensh, when presented. j',
There is one peculiar feature about this lax- ^
paying business: The small tax payers of the F
bounty arc, generally^ very prompt in paying, S
.vbile the largo tax payers hold on to tiioir
noney to the very last minute the law gives

direct Your Letters Properly.
Not tnnny weeks ago wo published a c^nm^* |(

almost impossible lo tell to whom or where

iflicc at this place without any direction at all ^
ipon it. It will be sent to the dead letter office

When you send a letter or anything else

' e State Society, some time before the day of ,
the Chester Fair was announced, and churning a ,
little upon seniority of organization, the i

ly to inoko any change. We hope the matter i
will be arranged differently horeaflcr.
Our best wishes are for the most abundant
success of the Chester Fair.
Our County Fair.
We hope the people of the County generally
have made their arrangements to be at our Vair
next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, nr_,\
bring their fine Stock, Field and GarJ^u products,
improved Farm Implements, t\l0 wc./k of tho
Mechanic and everything ebo that, Avill add interest
to the occasion. We arc pleased to learn
that inauy Ladies in the country are taking a
working interest in it, and will put on exhibition
tut?ny specimens of dairy and Garden produets,
their needle work, knitting, &c, &c.
A number of fine Horses from other counticg
will be exhibited, and gcntleincu in Greenville
and Spartanburg counties have promised to exhibit
some Remarkably fine Jersey and Guernsey
cattle.
The news we receive from all parts of the
county makes us believe that the exhibition will
be decidedly superior to any previous Fair.
Hill & Co.'s Now Stores.
The contractors are making rapid progress
toward completing the fine stores of Messrs.
Hill & Co., and expect to finish one of them in
about two wccks> wheu the firm will move iuto
it. They are without doubt the finest store rooms
in the upper part of tho State, the flooring covering
10,000 square feet. Messrs. Hill & Co.,
will occupy both stores, having entrances to each
in the hack part. The corner store is 150 x 25
feet, and the next 100 x 25, with bedroom and
a largo counting room in tho rear. A large skylight
in tho upper store wiU give that room a
light and pleasant appearance, while the large
front ami bnck windows of the corner store will
give ample light to that room.
???
Tlio Theological Seminary.
We sincerely regret to learn that the Theological
Seminary of the Presbyterian Church, at
Columbia, will probably suffer a loss of from
$V!o,000 to $20,000 by the failuro of J. E. \dger
& Co., of Charleston. There aro now twentj
-one students in the Institution, but unless aid
is promptly extended its exercises must bo discontinued.
Thovonerable Dr. Pluiuer will,asenrly
as possible, visit all the Presbyterian Churches
in the State in the interest of the Seminary, and
we hope his mission will result in the abundant
relief of that old and useful Institution. In the
mean time all who can give aid should forward
it to Dr. Plumer or Ilev. Geo. Howe, at Columbia,
at oncc. Every Presbyterian congregation
should take prompt action upon tlio matter.
? ?
Next week thero will be Farmers, their
wives and daughters, frum all parts of the County,
at the Fair, discussing all matters concerning
their own as well as their neighbors best interests.

La wi.kasnkss in Gkoroia.?The Macon 7Wrgraph
chronicles a series of outrages in llaldwiti
County live miles from Millcdgcvillo. The acts
of lawlessness have been directed principally
against a Dr. J. A. 1\ Hobson. A few days
sinco his gin house was burned. His attention
was called to.the burning building, and ho went
towards the spot and wns fired on several limes <
by persons ambuscaded in a field of cotton. In
tho gin-houso was a Inrge amount of seed cottor,
'9iH*r"mrii*e&,0rt nut pitce, to'ddcr-stacks, "fences.

a negro who lives on Dr. Hobson's place, while
riding nlong the road to Millcdgcville in company
with two others,was shot by several partics
in the bushes which skirted tho road. Five
balls penetrated the body of tho dnrkcy, and he
died immediately. The two negroes who were

extent of holding that such writing shall not
render thorn unmailable per se, nor prevent their

that by writing any portion of the message on
