YORKVILLL, S. C. :
THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 13,1884.
THE LATEST.
Notwithstanding the fact that the election
of Cleveland is conceded by fair-mind
ea persons 01 ail parties at tne JNorin, tne
Republican party dies hard, and in its throes
grasps at every glimmering ray of hope.
The bullying tactics at first resorted to having
utterly failed, and the misleading dispatches
of Tuesday and Wednesday, with
which the Western Union lines were bur- 1
dened, having failed to accomplish the object
desired, the next and the last resort is ,
to "doctor" the returns before the county <
canvassers in the State of New York. The
county canvassing of the vote in that State
was begun last Tuesday; but as there is a
committee of Democratic lawyers organized
throughout the State to keep a sharp lookout
on Republican knavery, we entertain
the belief that those who would steal the
vote of New York will be foiled in this their
last and most desperate attempt to retain
their hold upon the government. The fol- (
lowing special dispatch received by the Enquirer
at 8 o'clock on Tuesday night^-the
hour at which oifr forms were closed?and
for which we are indebted to the courtesy
of the Charleston News and Courier. erives
the situation in the State of New York on
Tuesday evening:
Charleston, November 11, 8 P. M.
L. M. Grist: Fears are still expressed
that the Blaineites will endeavor to Mexicanize
New York by bringing returns of
Democratic counties before Republican
Judges for correction, and there is some
excitement in consequence thereof. The
Democrats, however, are confident of their
ability to foil the conspirators, and the
people will not stand it. The county
canvass in the State of New York, which
began to-day, will occupy two or three
days at least.

A BETTER BAY DAWNING.
After several days of suspense and anxiety,
darkness is dispelled by the assuring
words that Grover Cleveland is elected
President of the United States. The success
of the National Demecratic ticket is now an
assured fact, and the auspicious event marks
a new era in the history of the Union. The
result is a matter of concern to the people of
the whole United States. To them it means
a return to the old ways of constitutional
government^to the government in its purity
as planned by our fathers. The elec- (
tion of Cleveland means the perpetuation '
of the freedom of the people and that the
drift to centralization, so long feared and
apprehended by our wisest statesmen, has
been stayed. And while the glad tidings is
the harbinger of joy to all patriotic citizens
North, South, East and West, it is to the
people oi tne soutn especially an event 01
deep significance. The inauguration of
Cleveland will usher in a Democratic administration
and put the Federal government
in full sympathy with the patriotic
people of the South. The Southern States
will now be sisters in the Union, and no (
longer hewers of wood and drawers of (
water?a section set apart for the prey of ,
political adventurers and alien office-holders.
Sectionalism is buried, and all por- i
*tionsof the Union?all true xVmerican citi- ;
zens having the peace, welfare and prosperity
of the nation at heart?can rejoice as
they have never rejoiced before.
TWO RICH MEN'S VIEWS.
After Jay Gould found that he could no <
longer manipulate the election returns in 1
New York so as to show a preponderance in
Blaine's favor, or pave the way for stealing
the vote from the Democrats, he sent the following
dispatch to Governor Cleveland on i
Friday last:
"I heartily congratulate you on your election.
All concede' that your administration as Governor
has been wise and conservative, and in the
larger field as President, I feel that you will do .
still better, and that the vast business" interests of (
the country will be entirely safe in your hands.
Jay Gould."
On the same day the following congratulatory
letter was sent to Governor Cleve- ,
land by Mr. Vanderbilt. The great railroad
king writes in a spirit of candor and :
sincerity. |
New York, November 7, 18S4. (
To the Hox. Grovkii Cleveland?Sfy Dear
Sir: I congratulate you and the people of the
whole country upon" your election to the Presi- <
dency of the' United" States. You owe your
election, in niv ouinion. to the fact that the
people believed you to be an honest man and ;
not to any particular efforts made bv any faction
of either the Democratic or Republican par- 1
ties.
The Independent men, who care more for good
government than for parties or individuals, have
made you their choice because they were convinced'
that your administration would not be
for the benefit of any political organization or
favored persons, but for the interest of the whole <
people.
This is just the result which is most desired.
We have reached the time when party amounts ,
to little. The country is above all and wants an j
honest government, by honest men. The belief J
that we will find it in you has led to your 1
election. Yours, very truly

LETTER FROM CHESTER. J
Chester, November 11.?When I closed t
my last letter, the election was progressing. 1
That important event passed off quietly at '
thisplace, and throughout our entire county. 1
Peace prevailed at every precinct. It has I
been generally reiparked that a more quiet <
and orderly election was never held in this i
county. There were rumors during the day i
of disturbances at some county precincts, i
but all these proved fallacious. The whites t
voted their full strength at this box, and In
the county, while the negroes polled a small <
vote, and a considerable number of these :
votes were cast for the Democratic ticket. <
Jonas McCullough, colored, was appointed i
a deputy marshal for this box, but he was ]
told that as Chester did not have twenty j
thousand inhabitants, he could not serve i
in that capacity. He quietly submitted <
without making any effort to discharge the
duties of deputy marshal. C. C. Macoy,
Republican candidate for Congress, made
hisappearanee at the polls about 11 o'clock.
His followers, who had before shown their i
timidity, crowded around him. He proceeded
to {five the supervisors some instructions
as to their duties, but the Democratic
supervisors would not listen to him, and |
told him to move on as he was interfering
with the election. The Democracy carried
our town and county by a large majority, j i

The ]>emocracy of Chester not only re- <

our State and nation. Joy filled their;
hearts over the happy news of Cleveland's 1
election. For some time they were in a 1
state of suspense, and were moved bv con- i
dieting emotions of hope and fear, but on
Saturday they cast their doubts to the
winds, and that night celebrated the great
and glorious event of Cleveland's election
by the roar of artillery, blazing of bonfires,
display of fireworks, 'blowing of trumpets,
and delivery of stirring addresses. In obedience
to the call of J. M. McNeel, Esq.,
our able County Chairman, a large crowd
assembled on Main street, and were entertained
with capital speeches by Senator
Patterson, Congressman Hemphill and Maj.
E. C. McLure. Allusions to the election of i
Grover Cleveland and to the glorious benefits j
to result therefrom to the whole country and j
the South in particular, elicited great applause.
The declaration by the latter speaker
that South Carolina would do her part in
helping to inaugurate Cleveland if the
emergency arises, was enthusiastically received.
He told the colored people present
that they would also derive great benefit*

HOW THE PRESIDENT IS ELECTED.
Technically speaking, the President is not
elected by the people, and the people do
not vote directly for any Presidential candidate.
They cast their ballots for electors,
and these electors choose a President and
Vice President. In each Shite the number
of electors is equal to the number of Senators
and Representatives which the ate
has in Congress. In New York there are
thirty-six electors. Each party has an
electoral ticket with the names of these
thirty-six electors printed on it. The electoral
ticket which receives the greatest number
of popular ballots in the State will be
chosen by the people, and the electors named
on it will be entitled to give their votes
for the candidates whom they represent.
The electors who are chosen will meet
in each State on the first Wednesday in
December and cast tneir votes ior a rresident
and Vice-President. As a matter of
law they can then vote for whom they
please. They are not legally bound to vote
for Cleveland or Blaine, or any other person
who was a candidate before the people. As
a matter of usage and public trust they are
expected to vote for the candidate whom
they are pledged to support.
Certificates of the votes cast by the electors
in each State are then made out and
sent to Washington. These certificates will
be opened in the presence of the Senate
and House of Representatives and counted
on the second Wednesday in February.
The total number of electoral votes is 401.
The candidate for President receiving the
majority of these?that is, 201?will be declared
President. If no person has such
majority, then the election goes into the
House of Representatives, which is required
to choose a President from the persons?not
exceeding three?who have received the
most electoral votes for President. In the
House the vote is by States, each Shite
having one vote.?New York Herald.
Senator Bayard's Wise Words.?To
an interviewer who called upon Senator
Bayard, at his home in Wilmington, Delaware,
last Thursday, the distinguished
statesman said : "The thing that I really
feel the most at this time is the capacity
:>f our republican form of government j
to right itself in the presence of great
Jangers. Being firmly convinced as I am
that this election was a crisis for the Ameri- i
can people and their government, I am i
ileeply impressed with the strength of the j
moral forces that have vindicated them- i
selves and prevailed. It is a time, therefore,
of congratulation, not only to those
whose votes have prevailed, but to that
large minority who have been overcome,
because the victory has been gained with- i

rent to the true principles of good govern- i
inent, and really in opposition to those
forces that have insidiously grown to i
strength in an era of war and excitement. ;
"Independent of the individual agencies 1
employed in the contest, the new majority
ire logically bound to walk in the pathway i
of reform. Economies must be instituted, !;
a purer and better political morality must be I<
practiced and the great popular powers of j i
uovernment be exercised in a broader spirit | ]
and less under the control and domination ! i
of selfish individual and class interests.
"In short, I think our countrymen of all ; j
parties, all classes and races, may congratu- j <
late themselves that the ship of state has ;:
righted herself in the midst of a heavy sea, 11
and that what has been accomplished by ::
that is not to be narrowed to individual or i
party benefit, but will be found to be salu- j
tary and beneficial to the public health and !:
general welfare." i
Evolution in Mississippi.?In the Mis- i
sippi Synod, held last week at Crystal i
Spring, the question of Evolution coming
up, the Rev. J. D. West spoke for an hour
in favor of Dr. Woodrow and his theory as
to the origin of man. But little was said on | j
a>o nthar cirlu members havinc made un ! i
their minds that such discussions do no j
i*ood. j]
After Mr. West had spoken, Dr. B. M. 1 j
Palmer, of New Orleans, stated that he had '
no desire to prevent any one from study-! i
ing and favoring Evolution, but objected ;
to having it taught in the theological sem- j
inaries and in churches. As for the man- i
ner in which Adam was created, Dr Palm- j
?r said: Man knows nothing about God's
creative power beyond what the Bible fur-'
lishes us, and never can know such things. <
It is beyond the reach of men of science. <
The final vote on the resolution offered in s
the morning by Dr. Palmer relative to evo- i
ution and condemning the teaching of it <

THANKSGIVING TO GOD.
Opportune Proclamation by the President of
the United States.
Washington, Nov. 7.?By the President
of the United States of America: A proclamation:
The season is nigh when it is
yearly the wont of this people to observe a
day appointed for that purpose by the President
as an especial occasion for thanksgiving
unto Goa. Now, therefore, in recognition
of this hallowed custom, I, Chester
A. Arthur, President of the United States,
do hereby designate as such day of general
thanksgiving, Thursday, the 27th day of
this present November; and I do recommend
that throughout the land the people,
ceasing from their accustomed occupations,
do then keep holiday at their several homes
and their several places of worship, and,
with heart and voice, pay reverent ac
knowledgraents to the Giver of all Good for
the countless blessings wherewith He hath
visited this nation.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed. Done at the city of
Washington this seventh day of November,
in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-four and the independence
of the United States the one hundred
and ninth. (Signed)
Chester A. Arthur.
By the President: Frederick T. Frelinghuysen,
Secretary of State.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
(From the New York Herald, Nov. 6. J
Honesty and common decency have triumphed.
Governor Cleveland is chosen the
next President of the United States.
In is a great, a very great gain to the
country, and to the cause of free government
everywhere. The candidacy of a man
like Mr. Blaine, with his surroundings, was
a humiliating disgrace to the country. His
electioft would have been the national justification
of public dishonesty and trickery of
every kind. It would have whitewashed
every jobber in the country, and would
have been, as the Republican ex-Senator
Wadleigh said in one of the most powerful
speeches of the canvass, an invitation to
all young men in places of trust to abuse
those trusts.
President Cleveland has shown himself,
as Mayor and as Governor, an incorruptibly
honest man, a man of brains and of undoubted
courage, the enemy of jobs and
jobbers, the faithful servant of the people.
Every word he has uttered during the canvass,
as every message and other public utterance
of his as Mayor and as Governor,
marks him as a clear headed, sagacious
man, entirely capable of that great work
which the people have intrusted him to do
at Washington.
At last the country has that change of parties
for which it has been ready eight years,
and which the selfish, corrupt political managers
who havegained control of the Repubnortx*
hurl primp to hpllPVP thPV fVMllrl
prevent so easily that they dared to nominate
one of the worst men in their party.
Governor Cleveland himself stated the case
clearly when he said:
There should be no mistake at this time concerning
the maintainingof the contest. The struggle
is to break down the barriers between the
plain people of the nation and the administration
of their government. The question to be
determined is whether the people mav change
their public servants, or whether, while they
fondly hope they have a representative government,
they are bound and held captive by those
who mako politics an occupation and hold place
as a profitable business. This government was
made for the people ; but if they must select
the agents who shall have its administration in
charge from a self dedicated and self-constituted
class, and if a party once in power can perpetuate
its hold on office for all time, it is a mockery
to call this a government by the people.
On the 4th of next March the Democrats
will, therefore, come into power. We wish
them well. They have succeeded by naming
a first rate ticket on an unexceptionable
platform. They are committed on thorough
reform. They will give the people that
"look at the books" to which they have a
right.
The Herald wishes President Cleveland
well. It hopes from him a conservative,
rigidly honest, economical and wise administration
of the country. Washington city
needs a man of the sturdy honesty and
strict devotion to duty which the President
elect has shown in all his public life. Let
him not fear to do right, for it is to do right
fearlessly that the people have made him
the Chief Executive of the nation.
The New Congress.?The returns from
the various portions of the country are not
yet full enough for it to be possible to determine
with absolute precision the composition
of either House of the Forty-ninth Congress.
There is, however, no question that
the Senate will be Republican and the
House Democratic. The present Senate has
a Republican majority of four. The Successor
to Senator Slater, Democrat, of Oregon,
will be a Republican, and in the other
States there seems to have been no change.
In the new House of Representatives,whose
term does not begin until next March, the
Democratic majority will approximate forty.
The Democratic majority in the present
House is sixty-seven. In the fall of
1882 a great Democratic tidal wave swept
over the country, submerging for the time
being a number of districts which under
ordinary circumstances are reliably Republican.
The tide has notaltogether subsided.
Throughout the canvass just ended there
were not wanting signs that the corruption
iind inefficiency of the Congress run by
Keifer and Robeson had left a deep impression
upon the public mind, an impression,
too, which the course of the Republican
party managers in the campaign did much
to deepen. Under such circumstances nothing
short of a stampede to Blaine would
have wrested the House from Democratic
control. In grave crises of a people's history,
when one of two courses must be chosen,
and when to do nothing is to imperil the
nation's safety, a divided Congress might
be anything but a public blessing. But
when the matters with which the Federal
legislature is to deal are primarily questions
of financial and administrative detail,
the necessity of mutual compromise and
concession may result in procuring from
Congress much wiser and fairer legislation
than either party would be likely to enact
if it followed merely the dictates of its own
wishes and oreiudices. During the cam
paign a great deal has been said as to th<?
clanger to which all business interests would
be subjected by a sudden and complete revo- J
lution in our tariff system, which, however,
has not been contemplated by either party, j
The most nervous of capitalists should now i
feel reassured that through a Democratic
House and a Republican Senate nothing |
more formidable than a very moderate j
measure of tariff reform can by any possi- '
bility pass.
Tiie Memphis Cottox Report.?The
cotton crop report for the Memphis district,
3mbracing West Tennessee, North Missis-,
dppi, North Arkansas and North Alabama, !
issued last Saturday, says: The weather
during October has been favorable, and

! out the district September 20, lias been continued
almost without interruption. In
j many localities the condition of the crop
1 was improved by favorable weather which
| prevailed, and the average of decrease in
j yield as compared1 wffW last year, which last
j month was placed at 171 per cent., has been
I reduced and is now given as 14 per cent, less
j than last year. The frost which fell on the
night of uctoner aril, was general tnrougnout
the district and considerable injury
therefrom is reported by correspondents.
The greatest damage was sustained in the
States of Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee.
The backwardness of the planting season
naturally made the crop late, and in
. many localities the damage from frost is
! reported as ranging from 10 to 25 per cent,
j About two-thirds of the yield has been
I gathered and no complaint is made of lack
' of labor in any locality which was feared,
! owing to the national election excitement
which generally attends such events. A
! continuance of the present favorable weath|
er will enable planters to have their crops
all picked by December 1st, and there is
1 general indication that the cotton will be
j marketed with mere than usual rapidity.
The final report of the National Cotton
! Exchange of New Orleans, issued last Mon1
day, estimates the cotton crop of the United
I States for the current yearat 5,7:45,000 bales,
' or a trifle larger than last year. Should the
prospects of the top crop in certain sections
be realized some 75,000 bales may yet be
! added. In Texas there was a large decrease,
and in the Mississippi Valley the crop is
not quite up to the last season; but the
i Atlantic States and Alabama show gains
sufficient to offset these deficiencies.
s
The Issues.?The South could have been
solid in no nobler cause than that identified
with Cleveland's candidacy. The South
was practically solid for pur? and economic
administration of the Government; for a
return to constitutional methods; and for
a general overhauling of all departments
where investigation was needed after so
j many years of temptation and license. The
soutn was sonci against tne auvancernent 01
a man who had no moral claim to sit in the
chair of state once occupied by Washington,
Jefferson, Adams, Jackson and Lincoln.
The South was solid against sectional hatreds
and race issues engendered by Republican
officials. It was solid against monopoly
and "eras of good stealing." It was solid
for all that was best in the Republican
party and cleanest in the Democratic party.
It was solid for a Union in fact and not
merely in name. It was solid for the taxpaver
and laborer alike. It was solid for a
redeemed country in harmony with all its
j parts, and compelling the respect as well as
the admiration of the world. The South
was solid for its own preservation as well as
the common welfare of the Union. Good
and true men respect these potent reasons
for the solidarity of this section, and we have
no call to blush for such a cause and such
an unbroken front.?Augusta Chronicle.
Thousands of Congratulations.?An
Albany dispatch of Saturday says: The
wires are still burdened with telegrams of
congratulation for Governor Cleveland. All
day long messengers have been lunning
from the telegraph office to the Capi ;ol with
paekagesof messages expressing satisfaction
and joy over the result of the election. That
the mass of the people has concluded that
the result of the Presidential contest is determined
is shown by the character of the
TKntr nomn fnnm novf of
Uispaiv;iic>3* lllCJ U/?UV/ uvnn pui V wi
the Union. In one batch that was delivered
this afternoon were greetings from New
York, Louisiana, Wyoming, Alabama, and
Boston. Every State and Territory is represented
in the 5,000 telegrams whicii have
been received since Thursday morning.
Col. Lamont, who assumes charge of the
Governor's correspondence, has betn able
to do nothing for two days but receive and
arrange dispatches. As yet there is no letup
in the flood of congratulations. The callers
are also very numerous, and all are cordially
received by the next President, unless
he is specially engrossed in business.
His bearing since his election has not altered
a particle. He seems more unconcerned
about his advancement than any other
man in the Capitol. There is no change in
the regular routine that he has observed
since he has been in the Gubernatorial chair.
A South Carolina Marriage Scheme.
At a recent wedding reception in South
Carolina a young lawyer begged leave to
offer a new scheme of matrimony, which
he believed would be beneficial. He proEosed
that "one man in the company should
e selected as president; that this president
should be duly sworn to keep entirely
secret all communications that should be
forwarded to him in his official department
that night, and that each unmarried gentleman
and lady should write his or her name
on a piece of paper, and under it the name
of the person they wished to marry, then
hand it to the president for inspection, and
if any gentleman or lady had reciprocally
chosen each other the nresident was to in
form each of the result, and those who had
not been reciprocal in their choice keep entirely
secret." After the appointment of
the president communications were accordingly
handed up to the chair, and it was
found that twelve young ladies and gentlemen
had made reciprocal choices, but whom
they had chosen remained a secret to all
but themselves and the president. Eleven
of the twelve matches were afterwards solemnized.
An English View of the Contest.?
The London Times of last Saturday, commenting
upon the result of the Presidential
election, says:
"It is unlikely that there will be any serious
attempt to contest the result of the
election. Blaine is a man of great gifts and
is an accomplished sneaker, but he has un!
happily identified himself with speculative
schemes and the moneyed interests. Cleveland
has few brilliant qualities, llis public
career has been comparatively brief and
modest, but he has shown a high sense of
public duty and will faithfully discharge his
trust without favoring either the magnates
of Wall street or the demagogues. It is to
be hoped that Bayard will accept office under
Cleveland. Bayard is a man of the
highest integrity and ability and will not
discredit the best traditions of the American
diplomacy. The Democrats must now show
| that they are true to the principles of political
and administrative reform. The recent
1 1 * ^ /?? * A
i electoral contest, uspecm.uj' un uic ivc|muncan
side, has disclosed the existence of widespread
corruption which has alarmed honorable
men in all parties."
? In a truly conciliating spirit the Augusta
Chronicle and Constitutionalist remarks:
"Good Democrats, especially good Southern
Democrats, will not inflame the public mind
unnecessarily against Jay Gould or any obnoxious
millionaire. It is not necessary to
call upon the mob to make Cleveland's
election secure. Besides, Mr. Gould, whatever
his faults, has congratulated Gov.
Cleveland on his triumph. We can well
afford to be moderate in the hour of victory."

V WANTON CRUELTY.
(In Saturday night last some malicious and
evil-minded person or persons entered the premises
of Mr. Robert E. Guthrie, of Guthriesville,
and so maimed two line cows that to end their
sufferings, the next morning after the discovery
was made, Mr. Guthrie had the animals killed.
FINE COTTON.
Mr. Martin Swan has left at our office several
bolls of cotton of the "Ozier Silk" variety, which
i show the finest staple of any uplands we have
I ever seen. lie first planted the seeds of two
bolls three years ago, and from the continued
product of this small beginning he has picked
a heavy bale this year. The bolls are large, 100
weighing 1J pound, and the lint is of fine, silky
texture.
YORKVILLE CELEBRATES.
The enthusiasm of the Yorkville Democracy
could not restrain itself on Friday night after
it was learned that Cleveland's election was an
assured fact; and accordingly a grand demonstration
was made by the young men, who paraded
the town giving vent to their feelings by
continuous cheering for Cleveland, and later in
the night firing a salute in honor of the prospective
advent of Democratic rule. In the absence
of a cannon, dynamite cartridges were improvised,
and one for each of Cleveland's electoral
votes was discharged, the "boom" being kept up
until two o'clock in the morning. The "boys"
had fun enough for one time, and it is gratifying
to learn later that they were not premature in
thus displaying their enthusiasm over the Democratic
victory.

Rev. Dr. LATHAN.
The many friends of the Rev. Robert Lathan
will learn with regret that he has decided to remove
from our midst. This action on his part
is rendered necessary by his acceptance of a professorship
in the Erskine Theological Seminary
at Due West, to which position ho was elected
by the Associate Reformed Synod of the South
at its recent session in Virginia.
Dr. Lathan lias been a citizen of Yorkville
for the last 2ti years, during which time he
has been the devoted and acceptable! pastor
of Yorkville and Tirzah congregations of the
Associate Reformed Presbyterian Churli, discharging
his responsible duties in a manner that
has endeared him to his people, creating ties of
fraternity, which, though broken by his departure
from their midst, can never be sundered
while memory lasts.1) [He takes with him to his
new field of labor tho best wishes of a large
circle of friends in York county, of all sects,
who reaiize, in his departure, that the county
loses a valuable citizen?one who has ever been
foremost in the promotion of all objects tending
to benefit tho public welfare; while the church
will lose, in his absenco, a zealous, able and
enlightened minister?one whose good wishes
are not confined to denominational tenets, but
who rejoices in the upbuilding of tho Lord's
work, in whatever hands, under the name of
l Christianity.
Dr. Lathan, with his family, will leave tomorrow.
We are pleased to announce to our
readers, that notwithstanding the new relations
he has assumed, his engagements will not prevent
his contributions to the columns of the Enquirer.
Wc have secured his services as a contributor
for next year, and after he becomes established
in his new home he will resume control
of the Sabbath department of the paper,
and in addition will also continue tho sketches
of his European travel, which have proved so
acceptable to our readers.
THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Tho October term of the Circuit Court, his
Honor Judge Cothran presiding, adjourned yesterday
afternoon after a session of two weeks and
three days, during which time much business on
the Sessions and Civil dockets of the Court were
disposed of. Monday and Tuesday of the second
week of the term were deyoted to the hearing
of causes not requiring the intervention of a
jury, his Honor having granted an order excusing
all jurors, drawn for tho second week, from
attending until Wednesday. This was deemed
proper on account of the election occurring on
Tuesday, and the order was timely and appropriate.
On Wednesday morning the following petit
jurors answered to their names: John R. Allen,
C. 1). Anderson, W. E. Adams, John Barber,
Ben Black, E. H. Bridges, T. L. Clinton, W.
' II. Cowan, John A. Campbell, Felix H. Dover,
J. B. Fulton, Joseph Franklin, W. A. Fewell, C.
W. Frew, II. P. Goforth, B. F. Hardin, W. R.
Hays, S. J. Hutchison, Marcus HafTner, J. Ed.
Jeffcrys, Geo. M. Lowrance, W. C. Martin, J. P.
Moore, Levi Neoly, Daniel Reid, Samuel Rainey,
B. G. Sandifer, E. I). Thompson, Jr., Henry
Warlick, T. P Whhonant, Warren Whisonant,
J. S. Wright, Thaddous Bolin.
Of tho causes heard 011 the civil side of the
Court two were of public interest. One was the
suit of A. L. Wallace vs. J. R. London and J. J.
Neely. This was to recover tho amount of $170,
tho valuo of a quantity of cotton belonging to
tho plaintiff, and destroyed by tho burning of tho
defendants' gin by sparks from tho engine, in
December bust. The ground upon which the suit
was based was negligence on the part of the defondants
in running their engine. The verdict
was in favor of the plaintiff for $164?six dollars
less than tho amount claimed, it having
been shown that thero were six dollars' worth
of seed in tho gin house, which had been left
there for plaintiff's convenience, and for the safety
of which defendants were not liable. Wilson
ct Wilson for plaintiffs; Spencer & Waters for
defendants.
Tho other suit, which attracted much public
interest, was that of John A. Darwin, Administrator,
vs. the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad Company. This was for the recovery
of damages for the benefit of tho mother of the <

deceased for the death of Mr. Peyton A. Darwin,
which complainant alleged was caused by the
negligence of the railroad company through its
employees. All the facts by which the unfortunate
young man had lost his life were published
in these columns immediately after the full
and searching investigation of the coroner's ju
ry. No new facts pertaining to the accident were
elicited on the trial. After the taking of testimony,
defendant's counsel made motion for nonsuit.
This the Court refused, and the case went
before the jury. The point argued was as to the i
amount of damages, and when the Judge charged
the jury, he charged against the allowing of
exemplary damages, restricting the jury to what
was shown in evidence would have been Peyton's
net earnings by his avocation (that of telegraph
operator) until he attained his majoritv.
The jury returned a verdict of $810 in favor of
plaintiff'. Wilson A Wilson for plaintiff; J. H. ,
Rion and Hart A Hart for defendant.
On Saturday the petit jurors were discharged,
and the time of the term this week was devoted
to Equity business.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWf.
? Tyre Glenn, aged 82 years, committed
suicide in Greenville county on Friday,
October 31, by drowning himself in a tub of
water. Domestic trouble was the cause.
? Governor Thompson has issued a proclamation
calling for an election in the Fourth
Congressional district on the 24th instant
for the purpose of electinga Congressman to
fill the unexpired term of Hon. J. H. Evins,
deceased.
? The mill house of Messrs. Terrace &
McAfee, near White Oak, Fairfield county,
was burned to the ground on Thursday
night last. The fire is thought to have been
the work of an incendiary. The loss was
abcut$l,000, not covered by insurance.
? The trial of Dr. William H. Miller for
the killing of his step-mother, Mrs. Caroline
L. Miller, on tlfe 18th day of June last, occurred
before the Court of General Sessions
at Walterboro last week, and resulted in an
acquittal on the ground of temporary insanity,
superinduced by a diseased condition
of the brain.
? A negro by the name of Criss Little was
killed at Laurens about 10 o'clock last Sunday
morning by Policeman Andrew Nelson.
Nelson had just been assisting Policeman
Langston in arresting another negro
for carrvinp' a concealed niwtnl. when Little.
who was standing by, interfered and cursed
Nelson, and finally made at Nelson with
his knife, whereupon Nelson retreated a few
paces and shot him dead. Nelson surrendered
to the Sheriff and was admitted to
bail. For some time past it is reported that
Little has borne a contentious spirit.
? In.Aiken county, on election day, ballot
boxes were provided at each precinct
and Democratic voters were requested to
express through them their sentiments on
the question of prohibition. Only Democrats
were requested to vote. One thousand
nine hundred and thirty-three votes were
polled, 69 of which were thrown out because
they were colored, and it was not stated
that they were Democrats. This reduced
the total vote to 1,864. One thousand and
ninety-one votes were cast for prohibition,
and 773 against, making 318 majority for
prohibition. The correspondent of the News
and Courier giving these facts, also says:
The vote is regarded as a fair test of the
sentiment of the intelligence and property
of the county, and the Legislature will be
asked for the passage of a prohibition law
for Aiken county. The effort has been to
keep the question out of politics, and it has
been successful. Many colored people pre- j
sented themselves at the ballot-box, but i
when the plan of election was explained to i
them they seemed satisfied. They endors- (
ed the movement, however, and will back l.
up the action of the white people by resolu- tions
and petitions from their churches and
temperance societies.
ECHOES OF THE ELECTION.
? Belva Lockwood got one vote in Savannah,
Ga.
? Hereafter Ohio will be the only October
State. West Virginia adopted a constitu- i
tional amendment changing her election to J
November. |
? The Boston Herald says Butler was like t
the man who "contemplated murder and (
committed suicide." He was Blaine's side j
show and the Republicans can proceed to t
dispose of the corpse. "
? Poor, deluded negroes will soon learn
how their black and white bosses have de- r
ceived them. They will learn under a
Democratic administration that not one of
their civic rights will be impaired or threatened.
They ought to learn also that friendship
for the Southern whites is their wisest
policy as well as their best interest. r
? New York Herald: When a bank cashier
absolutely refuses to take a vacation, the di- c
rpntors. if thev are prudent business men, c
force him to do so, and take a look at the 1
books while he is away. The Blaine men ^
refuse to take a vacation ; but it is lime to j
get a look at the hooks, which they have s
been keeping out of sight for nearly a quar- i
ter of a century. I
? Columbia Register, Tuesday: The prop- c
osition comes from York that there should be ?
a common demonstration of the State some r
time during Fair week over the election c
of Cleveland and Hendricks aud along with
the same the new era of peace and good will [J
throughout the Union. We are heartKy in r
accord with this proposition and are glad to
announce that it meets Columbia already at
work in getting up just such a demonstration
for Friday night. r
? The present estimate as to the complex
ion of the Illinois State Legislature is to ^
the effect that it will be a tie on joint bal- j
lot?the Senate having a majority of one C;
Republican and the House a majority of one v
Democrat. Contests are likely to ensue in t
three Districts which may reverse this con-11
dition of affairs. The situation is made l<
more interesting from the fact that a Senator
to succeed General Logan is to be
selected.
? Some of the colored people, old and,
young, appear to beconvinced that the elee-1 f
tion of a Democratic President would, in j ?
some mysterious and inexplicable way, af-1 ti
feet their freedom. Somebody is filling i v
these poor creatures with lies, in tne nrsi ti
place, nobody wants slavery restored, and, I 0
in the second place, 110 President has the ! c'
power to restore it. A Democratic Presi-:
dent is needed to disabuse the colored people 1
of such ridiculous delusion^ ! ?
Mr. ?laine's stool-pislron, IJen Butler,!J<
receives in the city ana county of New
York leas than 4,000 votes. He was vigorously
and enthusiastically supported up to
fifteen days ago by the New York Sun. Mr.
Butler was originally cast to carry off 15,000
votes in this city. Was there ever such a j g
wretched collapse? And, by the way, are '
we to accept Mr. Butler's attenuated vote as
the living evidence of the power, influ-1
ence and following of the New York Sun f \ 1
? It is a proper time to recall these noble ' n
words of Grover Cleveland's letter of ac-,
ceptance: "If I should bo called to the 1
Chief Magistracy of the nation by the suffrages
of my fellow-citizens, I will assume
the duties of that high office with a solemn
ietermination to dedicate every effort to the
country's good, and with an humble reliance
upon the favor and support of the Supreme
Being, who, I believe, will always
aless honest human endeavor in the conscientious
discharge of public duty."
? Says the Newark, (N. J.) Press, (Democrat)?If
ever the golden rule may be gracefully
followed it is on this day, following a
jreat and bitterly contested election. "Do
unto others as you would have them do unto
you." If you would not have others exult
wpr vnnr defeat, rememher thp cnlden rule
md do not exult too unkindly over their disappointment.
Whether victor or vanquish2d,
all are citizens of one common country,
with common interests and common hopes.
Think of these things, and bury the bitterness
of the campaign at the polls.
? Connecticut has done nobly. A majority
for Cleveland of 1,200 rises into grandeur
when it is remembered that there never
was such outrageous bulldozing of workingmen
by their employees. The Hartford
Times says: "These figures represent the j
honest firmness with which a great many
poor men stood like rocks against the sly
and seductive approaches of bribery and
corruption. The Blaine bribery fund for
this State was large, and unscrupulously
used. But it failed to save the tattooed
man. All honor to old Connecticut!"
Congratulations.?The following telegrams
were sent last Friday to the President
and Vice President elfect:
