* Ik - ^ , -'V iMk TALKING OF IMMMTINV, rW AIRS ESS or UAIlHKLO S MAJORITY, , rjwt The careful an.I well -informed New Yyn oorreppmidenl of the I'hiUd^phia -Ledger writes I > im'Tiirilale of I'fl'lay nighTV There is something important going on among tliu Democratic leaders which promises to create a sensation. The State executive committee profess to Ih> cognizant of illegal voting in Ihfs city ainI ICrooklyti to an cxtetii which, they ullirni, will invalidate the electoral vole for tie.1, tinrlieM ami give the Htolo to his opponent, but they will furnish no details at present, except to call attention to some extraordinary Republican results 'iif particular districts. In due tiuic, they say, it will all be made apparent.? Your correspondent heard some iutiiuatious of this kind at headquarters on the morning after the election, butUul not attach sufficient importance to them to give them publicity. The action of the executive committee in announcing through lite morning journals that in certain , localities "a vole litis been cast largely in excess of I lie lentil vole," ami (hat "the unaccountable increase in the Republican vole in New York . * and Kings Counties.is plain evidence of fraud," . . shows that in their judgment at least there is something behind those intimations. What it all mentis we shall soon sec' Meanwhile you will observe the comuiitteo "request all citizens of this State, in each and every locality, who favo? the right of the people to popular govern- I mailt, and w o believe-ft very .fair vote and nn - holiest count t^scuiiul to I Jy3 perpetuation of our institujfons, to'nid hy all'mojths in ,Ui4ir power the ascertainment of this result. The city Republican journals do not utfect ignorance as to what this proceeding means, and they raise a warning accordingly. The Tribune says : "Mr. Itarnum will dc well to stop right whore lie is. The business public are in no, inood to tolerate seditions fooling. No human heing iu | New York doubts that the State has honestly and irrevocably gone Republican." The Timet, even more pointedly remarks : "The Republican electors have a majority in the State ot at least 28,000, and in all the Democratic arsenal of trickery and fraud there is no method by which the Republican party can be chested out of the fruits of victory. The Democratic Congress which refuses to count tlie vote of New York for uarnetu ana Ar hurwill inaugurate revolution." 1'r.r contra, Truth, which seems to be the organ of the Democratic Executive Committee for tlie time being, declares that "Hancock is elected," and closes with the following highly wrought appeal : "Let us not again submit as we submitted in 187b. This fraud of 18K) is the greatest of all. Wc call on every Democrat in the land to help, by voice and action, iu the overthrow of this terrible wrong, and sec to it that Gen. Winticid S. Hancock is next March seated in the chair to which lie has been honestly and rightfully elected." John Kelly's evening organ, Th? Express, has the following, with the closing sentence in italics : "Facts are comiug rapidly to light which go to prove that the Republican success is due to a wholesale and corrupt use of money, to a systematic colonization of illegal voters, and to an unscrupulous use of machinery for interfering with the elections under the pretence of supervising them. These three points demand immediate and thorough investigation. If the Republican managers have perpetrated systematic and gigantic frauds o i the ballot-box in this and ether States, and the facts can be proved, they must take the consenuenret of their net* " Outside of party lines people hardly know what to make of all this, 'l'hcy arc rather dutu; founded. If there is anything more than another upon which the community hare been congratulating themselves since Tuesday, it is the fact of our escape from another contested election, and it is fcrvcutly to be hoped now that nothing will happcu to prove that these congratulations were premature. The Republican leaders contemplate the movement with derision. In Wall street it was the subject of more or less . remark, but it had uo direct influence on lb . markets. _ Tiir Sot to South Nkei> Not Mrlt.?Montgomery, Ala., November 6.?The Montgomery Advertiser says : Lawlessness - and oppression, the profligacy and plunder of the Rcpubli an parly compelled the solhHty of the South. To that solidity more that ever before she must remain steadfast and immovable. Under our benign home rule our pco le have prospered ton degree that has astounded our friends and confused our enemies. There need not be, and will not be any "let up" in the wonderful progress of the South under the new regime, whatever it may be, which the Republican party seek to inaugurate. It cannot materially affect the South. It will, iudcel, prove a blessing to the extent that it will induce greater self-reliance, greater energy and wiser efforts in developing the wonderful wealth and unlimited resources which a kind Providence has bestowed upou the Sunny South. The sun will still shiue, gentle showers will fall, seed time and harvest I will still bring their blessings, an<l our great staple must continue to be a power in the commercial world, while our coal and iron and other minerals will yield wealth of which the world docs not dream. Let the Solid South, solid ul-waj s lor home rule and honest government, now give its greatest vigilance and wisest counsels, not to National politics or to tho conflicts und passions of National parties, but to building up and advancing our educational, moral and material interests. Herein the South is and must continue to be "solid," solid as her glorious mountains and strong and increasing as the flow of her own broad and beautiful streams. It may be that Garfield will prove very different from what his past record indicates. As the first officer of our great liepublic, with the rcsponsibil ity of the government of fifty million of people pressing upon liiin, ho may possibly prove a wise ami beneficent ruler. ? : ' Died at tiik Post of Duty.?SamuelMcManus, a respectable old colored man aged about sixty years, a life-long Democrat, died suddenly on his way lo the polls on Tuesday lastj in Flat Creek township, lie had been sick far two or three weeks, and was not able to walk to the polls. He, however, expressed a desire to vote, and Mr. Snipes, the gentleman with whom he was living, carried him to Taxahaw preciuct, a distanco of only two miles, in his wagon, Ilnving reached the place, the old darkey got out of the wagon and walked to within thirty yards of the polls when he complained of feeling sick and sat down. Dr. Blakouey was on the ground and immediately summoned, but medical aid proved unavailing, and he died in a few minutes. It is supposed he died from heart disease. He was an honest and industrious old man and was well thought of by the white people. His white friends bought him a good burial suit, and ordered a nice coffin made, and <juite a number of them attended his remains home.?Lancaster Ledi/er, November, 3. ; Mon i>k it in Nkwukrry.? To the Editor of the News ami Courier : A party of unknown men V rode up to the polls at Cromer's Precinct, and in a disturbance, which they raised, one negro was killed- The white people at the polls from the neighborhood did all they could to quiet the disturbance and finally succeeded in driving otr the rioters. The affair is very much deplored I by the whiles, and (hecolcred people entirely exonerate the citizens oi Ne.vbcrry Cuiiuly from ^ any knowledge of the affair. A posse, headed nytsheritt Wheeler, is now on Hie grounds to keep flown any further disturbance.

On Sunday the thief with the stolen property was seen near this town on the Sautuc road, and soon afterwards his pursuers from Spartanburg arrived upon jaded horse*. A party of gentlemen of this place took up "the trail," with fresh hor. ses, &u<l two of them overtook the thief, a colored man, a'few miies below here. Upon one of them taking hold of the bridle and commanding the thiet to surrender, the latter jumped from the saddle, bowed politely to the captors nnd told them they "might take the hone," and then he "took to the woods." The whispering correspondent of the Greenville Xeici is mistaken in saying the thief | escaped with Tern* ju*tiu. Thero was no jus- | lice about it, the rascal git off without justice.

COHEN'* Our Wany Advisers * Political advice is plentiful and Cheap juSt now. Every newspaper in the South has from one to two columns of it gratuitously thrown ou^ to the Southern democracy ; and if }he South- . eru democrats undertake to .swallow every political dose that is thus offered them we shall all be iu a worse fix than tho bj>v\ftbof.b<uL? gorged himself Wi^ffcVd nogplums. .

The Thornwell Orphanage We have received a handsomely printed pamphlet copy of "The Fifth Annual ltepor* of the Thornwell Orphanage," located at Clinton, Laurens County. From the report we learn that this truly philanthropic institution has had '24 orphan children under its care the past year? six of whom have been dismissed, five havijyc^ completed the course and otto returned to friends. These vacancies have been filled, and if the Institution had room to accommodate morn, a larger number Would be received uudcr its benign influences. The little girls of the institution have the entire charge of lite domestic Work. TliOV do all the cooking, washing, ironing aud sewing? the ladies of the village helping in sewing for the boys. There are only soven boys, three of them employed in a Printing Oflico in the Institution, from which they issue Monthly 500 copies of a very creditably printed magazine bf '28 pages, and the report before un shows tbAt they have attained a high degree of proficiency in the art of printing. We have seen a greatly inferior quality of work come from men who professed to be competent workmen. The Thornwell Orphanago is doing a noble christian work, and is entitled to the fostering care of all christian people. Its resouroes for the support of the dear little orphans placed under its humane care are very limited and we appeal to all who are willing to help a truly worthy and very usetul institution to contribute of their means to it.

This would seem enough ; but n wheq the Republican speakers, with the new 'c orator, General Grant, the quandam man of "l "gp'lden silence", to. lead off, took the ground thai the glegtion of General ilanoock would Cl place the government in the hands of the Coo- ?' federate Brigadiers; that everything would bo 11 run in the uittreats of the South to the rum of Uia'Ncrth, hud another war would be inevitable, ' a tegulnr Hull Hun panic seized the.

( This was plainly seen by the Northern Rcpubli- | can leaders aud they trembled for themselves 1 and their parly. Not a man among the tnana< 1 gers and leaders of that party was able to stein the tide of public tceling that was settin g in I against them, aud as a last resort, and rclue- 1 tmntly, we think, they called upon Grant to step forward and save-to thera the State of New York. Added to this was a debased floating population < in each of the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Washington aud other lurgcr places within s few hours ride of each. This floating popula lion is always fur sale and was kept oscilatiug, for registration and voting purposes, from ward to ward in New York City and from city to city without any appurcut change tu the population of. cither. * In this way, we arc told, the increase of 83,831 in the registration gave an increase of 43j>er Cj/K? tho rop'u -irffcj^n vote anu only H per cent in the democratic vote. ^ Rut it is no use speculating upon the cause () af our defeat. Garfield will he our next l'resi- ,4 lent and the South cannot prevent it. The H South must acquiesce in iho election and with '' Ihe.hcst grace possible. At present it is a waste ( of words to theorize upon what course it will be best for tiro South to pursue With regard to Nalionul politics.

The National Democratic Committee ha^ not yet taken hold of the matter, but the Executive Committee will meet on Friday, and at that meeting reports from the three other committees now 1 working the subject up will promise to furnish affidavits to prove frauds involving over 20,000 votes. It is also, stated on excellent authority that Gen. Hancock has addressed aletter to Chairman Barnum, in which ha says that he had been consulted by several committees with reference to a proposed revision of the. vote cast on last Tuesday, with a view to contesting the election in New York State in his interest. He wished tosny that tho movement did not meet his approval, as it appeared to be based upon unprovable assertions and inadequate grounds, and, further, because the movement, so far as it concerned him personally, was open to the insuperable objection that under no circumstances would he consent to be technical President. 1 LA.Nt'ASTKii, November 4.?The Republican tickets did not reach them in time and they, with entire unanimity, refused to vote, believing that the election would be void by reason of their having uo printed tickets.
