The whole county government of
Edgetiold stinks with corruptipin, and
yet it seems impossible to investi
gate it in the cout'ts. Judge Car
pentor has endeavored to exculpate
himself from blame for this condi
tion of affairs, but lhis excuses are
1not satisfactory. Judge Mackey han
shown what a c efIt Jud . ohin a

Mr. C. P. Pelham, through the
Register, appeals for the support of
the conservatives of the State. He
alludes to his connection with the
CGaardian both before and after the
war. During this time, and sibso
quently in connection with the
.Pwnic and the .Register, ho han
over espoused the cause of good
government. He is entitled to the
confidence of the people.
We trust that the Regiiter will
receive a hearty support. It is a
disgrace to consorvatism that honest
conservative papers have not sue
coled in Cohunbia. Thoro, more
than anywhere else, a good paper is
needed. The Register proposes to
supply this want. All it needs is
ample patronage. Let that be
given. We believe that an active
canvass of Faiifield would large ly in
crease its subscription list.
The vote in Ohio was 690,000, about
60,000 more than over boforo polled.
Hayes' majority was 5,600 and was
caused by the chango wrought by
Carl Sciurz upon the German and
liberal vote of Cincinnati and
Cleaveland. 'This was a remarkably
close vote, and the change of one
voter in every two hundred and
forty would have altered tho result.
Still the republicans have gained
sabstantial result4 in having the
prestige of victory. Infdationists
claim that they would have won had
not the school question taken votes
from them. Their aspertion is very
plausiblo. '.l'he trouble w.ts that
the democrats had too) mn3uy false
issues in their platform. Had they
adopted a straightforward fight
against ral-atbninistration they
would have won.

The Novem her Elections.
To-day the is the (lay for the gon
oral November elections. In New
York, Pennsylvania, Massiachunietts,
Maryland, Virgin ia, Arkansas and
Mississippi are the most important
elections. In New York the contest
is for Secretary of State between
Frod. Sewardl andl John Bigolow.
Beth are liberal rep~ublicans, but
Bigelow accepted the democratic
nomination after having refused the
same position from the republicans.
The democrats under Tilden are
piushing canal reform andl diminished
taxation. The State ticket will be
doubtless elected though p~ossibly
by a reduced majority. In the city
of New York, Tammany is defled by
rep~ublicans, indepondent democrats,
Gormans and nmost of the newspal
pore. John Morrissey rums for ti e
State Senate, against the Tammany
nomination, for the distriotemnbracing
Five Points and other notorious lo
calities. The revolt is against the
one man power represented by John
Kelly, the boss of Tamimany. The
result in the city is very doubtful.
In Pennsylvania, Hiartranft and

erner. Hasrtranft defatmA n..ce...

elected he will undoubtedly fill the
office.
Massachusotts is to decido6botween
Rice and Gaston. Rice is a safe
party man of good reputation and
will be elected provided the repuli
cans recover from the demoralization
produced last year by their defdat.
Sam Bowles, of the Springfleld
Repulican, however, advises liberal
republicans to throw away, their votes
on Charles Francis Adams and Gener
al Bartlett.
Maryland is the scene of conflict
between Charles Lou Carroll, the
regular democrati candidate, and
Harris, an indepeldont democrat,
supported by the rejiublieatis. Car
roll in the great-grandson of Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton, Oud to n e
man Catholic. The roliglonts try is
raised against him, very foolishly in
our opinion, as religion and politics
have been generally supposed to have
little in common. The chief atlso
of the revolt, however, in the -dcno
cratic ranks is the existence of a
ring in Baltimore that has ruled the
State and city corruptly. The indo
pondouts are known as the "potato
bugs," a democratic orator having
compared them to that agricultural
pest. In the municipl election the
other day in Baltimore, Latrobo the
democrat, was elected mayor by
2,000 majority, a reduction of 6,000
in an increased vote of 12,000. The
regular ticket may be beaten, but
Harris is a pure man and a home
democrat, and he will make a good
governor if eloctol. The democrat
ic party being largely in the ascond
doney in Maryland, there is no proba
bility of the return of the regular
republicans to power.
In Virginia the contest is one
sided, and' the only question is the
amount of the conservative majority.
The legislature to be elected chooses
a senator to succed Johnson, and
Lotcher, Hunter, W~alker, B~ocook
and other prominent statesmen are
candidates for the position.
Arkansa has boen enjoying great
tranquility under Garland,s adminis
tration. The Conservatives will
carry the State. The radical party,
as in several Southern States, in do
funct. It rotted away.
The greatest interest centres in
the Mississippi olection. Mississippi
is one of the twvo Southern States
uder radical control ; and under
A mes, is in the samo)1 predicament
South Carolina wvas under Moses.
A desporato effort is making to carry
the Legislature, and the conserva
tives are hopeful of success. We
bid them God speed.
Michigan and Wisconsin and other
States and territories we believe also
hold elections. But in these the
issues are unimportant.
The present elections are view~ed'
with less interest by the people.- of
the South than any heretofore since
reconstruction. This arises fronm
the facet that heretofore radical suc
coss meant ruin to the South. Now
that tho villainy of the party has
recoiled upon its own head, and the
South is beginning to be recognized
as on terms of equality, the issues
involved are not of paramount im
portance. We rejoice to see this.
It has always been said that tho
South was not hostile to the Union,i
but merely to radical misrule, and
this apathy testifies to it. Glive us
a fair showing and ne will be loyal.

In another colunxn will be found
a school notice, giving the names of
trustees and requesting the clerks
of the several boards to meet in the
School Commissioner's office on
the 13th November to consult at so
an improvement in the system.
The trustees have been carefully
selected by the board of examiners
and we believe will be found per
fectly competent. This is a great
advantage. Trustees have .the

This year there were only 1,450

was last year. If this management
be continued the quota will dwindle
to nothing. Some means must be
employed to increase the attend

Stops should also be taken to
establish an Institute during the
sumnmer months to educate teachers.

The 'olitic at Outlook.
The Union-herald of Wednesday
contained an article on public senti
ment from which we make the follow
ing extract.
The truth in that a majority of the pee.
1p10 in every state of the union are opposed
to ever agan piaoing the nation inder
the control of the party which led it into
treason, rebellion and war. There may
be an overthrow of the present re
publican organization. Power nmay pass
from it to an opposition party of Which
the ines will be the former demooratic
voters, but should such a succs em
bolden the uneasy spirit, of the ante
helium democracy to the point of attempt
ing to put in force reactionary mecasuregs,
the masses fromn Maine to Texas, from the
lakes to the ocean, will again show their
determination to bake no step backward in
the path to national unity, At the same
time the peoleare ini no humor to submit
longer to extravagance. imbecility and
peoulation at the hanzds of any party, no
matter what its record ma~y have been on
n itional questions. The elections of 1873
proved that if republicans waoild notheod
the signs of the times the pop~le new
how to provide a remed). Thoudfful
men in both parties are ready to ret'og*
nixe the paramount demand of the hut
reform in the administration of natioib
.state and mnunicipal governments. The
denwpsd comes with equal power from the
demiocratiocand republican voters.
The first sentence embodies an
open question which will
not be decided unlil the demo
eratic p~arty shall have ceased
ed to nominate its candidates. The
democratic party have accepted the
issues of the war, and sensible
men from Maine to Texas are con
vinced that the restoration of the
party to power will not resttlt in any
attempt to revive reactionary
measures, or to dissolve the Union.
Such being the case it is just as
probable that the- sceptre will be
placed in the hMndsof the democra
cy as that the reptiblican party with
all its usurpations, its fraudis and its
carpet bag governments, will retain
its bold on the masses of the people.
In 1804, the old democratic party
became defunct. In 1874, the radi
cal party as it had been administered
since its advent to power breathed
its last. Just as secession was
buried years ago, just so oppression
to the South, despotism and venality
is now buried, and should the re
p lcan party be successful next
yeIt yMll be so chalnged from its
old ol tar that its ol leaders will
not recognize It. Whatever party

South will treated ' zop and citi
#j , ho' et as, .Ildhe d afis dogel
The test ill trot ok o im
port to tie ast wId have been
when rant aend utera Clhand
ler and Mbrto' ere powdrs in the
land.
The editorial thus seisibly con
eludes :
There is a danger noW to which the re
publican jpiuity is exposed which it will be
well for its leaders to guard against. If l
tiee ao upon the. idea that th ecoplo
whogae di netiep styes to the denocrftt
in 1873 have abandoned their purpose to
rebul the recklessness which in, states
and ntion characterized the party re
sponsible for the governmeht, they will
commit a fatal error. A vast majority of
the people prefer a good government ad
ministered by republicans, but a
much greater majority have deter
mined upon having a good govern
ment. They will secure it with one party
or the other. No thoughtful person can
study the conditih of parties in the
various states without being convinced
that this is a characteristic feature of
politics just now. Combination of curious
and heretofore antagonistie elements is the
fashion,
It is seen, as has already been sa1, in
the determination of men of integrity and
sense to show at every cost that party
nominations shall no longerbe equivalent
to election; that they will permit no ticket
whatever to be put upon them by fraud;
that they will not only not vote for uin
worthy candidates, b'ut will not be led
away by considerations of personal res
pect for individuals from abating a public
nuisanco and wiping out a party disgrace.
All over the country, men are rising up to
the conviction that it is necessary for
men to look to something better and
worthier when they vote than party watch
words, labels and endorsements.
In 1873 whole districts of Mamachusetts
and Ohio manifested their disgust at the
practices of their party by flinging its
nominated tickets to the wind, and pour
ing for a time their numbers into demo
:ratic majorities. In 1875 they returned
also forga time, to the republicans, but
hey will stay only on condition that the
esson of the former year is heeded. Mr.
Wllis, an ardent democrat, who is now
upported by the republicans of Maryland
san independent candidate against a nomi
ee of the ring which since 1867 has ruled
hat state, speaking on their notion says:
"Andhe is weak indecl who suppose
hat by so doing they dismember or de
troy their party. It has come to this, I
hink, all over the country, and the next
residential election will show it, that the
eat way and surest way to strengthen the
ands of a party to wake them clean be.
ore the people, though present defeat and
lisster be the only process of cleansing
hem."
The laffguage of Mr. Wallis is that of
ruth and so-berno.is, and those who are
low moulding party opinion in this state
nay well lay it up in their memnorier. No
party majority has been strong enough to
resist the determination of the people to
2avo a respetale governmnt, and South
Jarolina republican mnjorities will form
pro exception to the ruls. Nor will apparent
icongruities of material prevent the
he attainment of their purpose.

In compliance with this invitation, I1
have this day appointed the follow

to have in charge the p&focting of

Gen. You 3loltke on Confederate
Generals.
A newspaper correspondent has
stated recently that General Von
Moltko thinks there was no great
soldier developed during the war
between the American States on
either side.
Since the death of General Lee,
Von Moltko is probably the highest
military authority who can be quote-l.
But if he gave utterance to these
comments as they are imputed to
him, we must deny hi., accuracy
about facts, if we adniit his conchu
sions. History will not justify the
statement that no groat General was
developed during our late war on
either side0.
When the world knows the facts'
of our struggle against the Northem n
States it will say that our inferiority
in numbers and resources was comn
pensated by the energy of our people
and1 the skill in war of our Generals.
Neither Genoral Von Moltko nor any
other European since Napoleonr las
ever fought such a battle as the
battle of Chancellorsville ; and it is
simply ignorance and precjudice which
can deny to Lee his claim to occupy
the foremost rank of General. Since
Marlborough Europe has not pro
duced Lee's equal; always excepting
the great master of the art war,
Napoleon.
Our war was too far removed from
the secturity of General Von Moltke.
Most of the accounts of it reached
him only through the Northern
channels ; anid, therefore, lie did not
know as much about it as some of us
who have not his capacity for criti
cism.
Gen Von Mtoltke may not know
that in the two battles of Manassas
and the two b'attles of Cold Harbor,
the moat remarkable illustration was
given of the superiority of $odtthern
Generals.
About two years of battles intor
vened betwveen these pair of Southern
victories, In the 'Fsirst Manaissas'
our army under Joe Johnston mn
bered 37,000, men. The Federal
army under McDowell numbered
58,000 men. In the 'Second Manais

40,000 hlen. The Federal army
under Pope number over over 100,

battle.

army numbered abodt 70,000 men.
(It was the largest Confederate army

army humbered auboumt aboult 4fl,000
