Formation or Nmv Coc.ntiks-Voti: "No".? At the extra session of the Legislature, in July last, a joint resolution was passed proposing an amendment to Section 3, Article, XI, of the Constitution of the State, in relation to tlie formation of ne-.v Counties. Accordingly the following amendment to the Constitution will t?n voted tipen at tlic general election in November : Strikeout in section-1. Ai tide XI. of ilio Constitution tlie words 'but n> new County shall be hereafter formed of less extent than six hundred and twenty five square-miles, nor shall any existing Counties be reduced to a less extent than six hundred and twenty five square miles,' and insert in lieu thereof the following: 'Provided. That no new County shall be formed which has n population of less than one hundred and twenty-fourth part of the whole number of inhabitants of the State, and an area less than four hutiAred *^?ara miles, nor shall any existing Counties be reduced to a less area than four hundred square miles.' " Thoobject of ibis nine dinent is to facilitate the formation of new and small Counties. We suppose that the Democratic tickets will have the words: "Constitutional amendment as to the formation of new Counties'yes," printed on them, and wo desire that the people should understand w^al they are doing when they vote. We take it that the taxpayers not only of Lexington County, lull if the entire State, are overwhelmingly opposed to the formation of new Counties, and all they will have to do will be to scratch out "yes'' and insert tho word "no"' on the ticket. In our judgment the time lias not yet come to divide up the S'ute into small Counties. The population is too spar-e. and there has not been a sullicicnt accumulation of wealth to warrant the additional expense which will be entailed upon the people. Court houses, jails and poor houses will have to I),: erected, and a new set of County officers will have to be maintained and Court expenses will be increased. Theonly advantage to the people ivliich we can sec will be that those wholive at a distance from the Court house will be brought nearer. l?ut the incon vcnieticc arising from distance is u >t so great as to in luce taxpay ts to burden themselves with iucrcased expenses for County government. Moreover, we <lo not think it wise to foster and encourage the greed for office which is ono of the necessary evils ol our system of government In fact, tve do ant believe that there arc many advocates of new Counties except those who want oRiee, and the whole agitation on lire subject lias been occasioned by mic!i aspirants, and those who have other selfish ends in view, which will be lit the expense of the pe iple. We want our citizens to think over this matter, and, after due thought, wo are satisfied that the maj n-ity will vote "No."?Lrxington fKgp/ite.'t. Tub Outlook is Onto.?Columbus, October ?The campaign which will terminate in the election next Tuesday i* a remarkable one.? Things have seldom been so mixed as now. It is all owing to the liquor question and old prophets areall at sea. At th two political headquarters here the ino-t extraordinary claims are made. If Chairman Thompson, of the Democratic State committee, were less of a brag than be is his figures giving the Siaic to the Democrats by '20,000 or so might mean something, but Thompson always claims everything he can lay his hands on and a good deal that is clear out of sight as well. At the Itcpiihlican headquarters like figures are c aimed, l?ut for public use only, l'rivntely the Republican leaders are greatly worried les' tliey shall lose the State on account of the holt of the German vote to the enemy. A week ago the Democrats apparently had-cvcrylliing their own way. Victory seemed assured, but instead of following up their work tliey were content to let matters rest and have done little since but brag of the majority they would have. On the other hand, tlie Republicans redoubled their efforts, and in these last lew days have put in their best licks, so that their prospects are innch blighter to day than at any time in a month past. Still tlio drift of opinion among the best'informed men is tli.it the Democrats have a fair chance to elect their Stntc ticket by a small majority and gain several members of Congress, although their victory is not assured. esmf.rai.na ash Hazri.'Kikkk.?When Hazel Kirke was withdrawn from the Hinge of the Madison Square Theatre, and after its wonderful .uti many people predicted thai its success-)! never would win the high place in public favoi which tlicgre-it drama held. It did not howevei take the critical New York theatre goe.olong ti discover tine dramatic situations ou t bidder beauties in '.Esmeralda" which made this sim pic domestic story by universal consent the "rue cesser and rival of Hazel Kiike.

It is lime the Democrats were 1 arousing from their lethargy and showing sonic * signs that they feel sonic interest in (ho coming ^ j election. Our enemies are at work secretly j * j but persistently, while we are apparently stand- 1 11 i in* still, so confident of suctess that we think it is not nceetsary for us to woi-k. This is a mistaken idea and works right into the hands of our opponents. Wo m>y wake u a on the ni truing of the 8th of N:vomber and find that, by our indifference, J.

We can conscientiously claim that it it is a ticket of the people and from the people, and deserves the earnest united support of the people of every party, class and condition. We have 1 never before known a ticket for so many offices, that did not have oicandidate, at least, on it ] whose integrity, fitness and right to be there j could not be questioned. We point to it with j much pride and challenge the elosost personal and political scrutiny. Such a ticket is woriliy I lie mos? enthusiastic , support of every good and true man throughout i the Siatc, and. when compared with the mongrel State ticket put fortli in opposition to it, ( iviiiu man ot i ill el I lienor', possessing one spark . of State j?ri<le, anil desiring to live in peace tin, del' an honest ami just government, can hesitate t for one m xnent to give all his influence ami labor to elect it.

It' any one supposes that (lie democratic tie's tt will oe elected without much effort he is, we ^ liink, sadly mistaken. It will requiro the t ilosest watching and the hardest work to elect q t. In itself the Greenback p> rty has no Q drength to nlni in nny one; but as it has been j nado the figure head of the Radical parly, or, t noro properly speaking, merged into #e latter c 'arty, it is a nucleus around which all the voting # itrength of that party is gathering, and the g :onibinution becomes dangerous to the demo- c iracy. No man can be so politically blind or pieju- g liced as not to^ce that the new name and new e nen under which the opposition to home rule v md honest government is marshaling its forces j, s but a covering of the btsa intention of restor- a ng the reign of Radicalism in all its most cor- n upt and debasing forms. Wlierc, wo ask, is ^ he dividing lino between stalwart radicalism p ind Grecnbackism in this State ? The State ticket is pretty equally divided be- ^ ween radicals and soreheaded democrats, and p .vhcrcvcr they have nominated County tickets 7 lie same political mixture is so conspicuous < .hat, if.dissected without reference to the source 7 >f their nominations, it would puzzle the most t| istute political intriguer to find out the 'differ- * snce between them and the pure radical nomi- 0 unions which so aroused Ihe indignation of the jeople in 1870. 0 And this same corrupt and debasing element p s ngain at work, stealthily and perscverUfcgTy^E n every County in the State, to ngnin wrest the 0 State and County governments from the hands j, >f the white people and place them in the hands j, >f ignorant and pliable negroes and their more n :orrupt white allies. p To defeat this infamous alliance the people n mist devote all their efforts between now p ind ihe day of election?the 7th of next month. .1 The greatest danger before us is the ajathy a io apparent in the democratic ranks. This ipathy and indifference is enccnrngirrg to our t< mcmies, and inspires confidence and boldness fi n their movements. We have a strong wi'y foe t< lef >re us, and the only way to check his ad- it 'nnccs is to meet him with a bold, defiant front, fc ind convince him by our cn.liusiusui and united al letcrnnnation that the white people of Smith it Carolina have sworn in their wrath that igno- u ance, debauchery, corruption ami diabolism [enornlly, shall never again disgrace the State ;ovcriunent.

The communication of Mr. Qri'lCa published a the Timks of September 30, is a most intor- ^ sting history of the rise and progress of Red ^ tat culture iu Abbeville, and only another proof f what may be accomplished by persistent ef?rt. We know Maj. Griffin well, and can hearily endorse what he says, lie is a sound, suo- ? essful, ptacliea) planter, who Ihiuks for him' elf and seises readily upon every idea that ^ Mggests improvements, aud oounts carefully the ost before he gives Jtis opinion. The secret of success will be found in the yslcmatic means tho Abbevillo farmers have * niployed. Tlicy have not waited until the rinter set iti or the Spring came round ; they ave not sown their oats on the poorest land nd in the most slovenly manner; but they have ^ inde out culture a part of their planting sysein, and they have sucoeeded in making it a lying crop all the time. In the few instance? which have come to our ^ uowlelge in this county where the ont wns ^ roperly planted tho success has been decided, j 'hose who hnve been disappointed did not take lie proper pains, but went t it in tho old way. 'here are thousands of acres of old field in his county which could be turned under, ns laj. Griffin suggests, sowed in the Fall with t ats and give a remunerating crop. J If the farmers of Abbeville, who nre notoriusly among the best in the State, can keep j? ? ? ?? * ?????vu <? VIUp U oats, there is no reason why our farmers' annot do the same.
