MUNICIPAL ELECTION. Tho proclamation of Gov. Scott directs that municipal elections be held on Tuesday, November 10th, in accordance with the law passed by the Legislature. The Democrats of Anderson, ought to announce their ticket.for-Town Council without delay. :-o HON. JOHN QTJIHCT ADAMS. ?This'gentleman addressed the citizens of Colum? bia on- Monday night, in a calm, temperate and elaborate speech, replete with candid advice and honest sentiments. In response to an invitation from Charleston, Mr. Apahs delivered an address in that city on Friday night to one of the largest assemblages ever convened in.the old city? MEETING AT FT2ECET0WN. We are requested to announce that the Fierce town Ck.b has appointed Tuesday next, 27th iust., to hold ; mass meeting at Wilson's Tauynrd. Everybody cordially invited, and the ladies espe? cially. The canvassers ore expected to hold them oelves in readiness for thi? occasion, and meet the appointment. THE GENERAL ELECTION. The especial attention of every voter is directed to the order for the-General Election, on the Cid day of November next, from the Commissioners of | Election. Eighteen, boxes are opened, and compe? tent managers appointed. We trust that the man? agers will accept the position, and enter upon the discharge of their duties, ono of which is the busi? ness of registration. For particulars, see the ad? vertisement. .<ft REGISTRATION. Remember? that, those who have heretofore been disqualified from, votings under the Reconstruction Acts, are now entitled-'to register and vote, although not .entitled to hold office. Tho books of registra? tion will bo opened at each poll- on.tin; 29th, 30th and'31st of this month, and every white man who is not already registered owes it to himself, his family and his country to register,-so I hat the in? telligent vote of the District may be as largo as possible. Remember, that tho vote of Anderson District may opjry the State, and tho vote of a oingie man elect the Democratic ticket. Register and vole. DOMINATING CONVENTION. By an arrangement between the several District organizations of the Democratic party, a Nomina? ting Convention will meet at Penilletou to-morrow, for-the purpose of selecting-a candidate for Solici? tor of the Eighth Circuit. It is of great importance to the people generally that the right kind of a man fills this position, and we trust that the Con? tention will be oble to make a wise. Judicious and acceptable choice. The election comes o(T on the 3rd day of November, nnd the notice givon in the Governor's proclamation prevented' an earlier movement in this direction. ? Not even a casual instanca of yellow fever aas. been reported in New Orleans this senson. THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS. The agony in over: the elections in the great Middle and Western Stmcs, upon which the whole country looked with intense interest and anxiety, took place ou Tuesday of last week. The returns by telegraph have been conflicting and unsatisfac? tory, and though a whole week ha3 elapsed, we arc unable to present a correct statement of the result. Enough is known, however, to warrant tho follow? ing summary. The Republican majority in Ohio is nearly iG> 000, and the Democrat have gained on.'an in i increased vote. When ws remember that the total vote in the Buckeye State is about a half million, tho majority against us seems exceedingly small The Democrats have gained three Congressmen-in. Ohio^ The result in Indiana remains in doubt. Hem dricks. the Democratic candidate for Governor, is thought to be elected, though official returns are necessary to decide. Four Democrats elected lo Congress, including Voohhees. Five hundred votes will decide the Gubernatorial contest. Pennsylvania gives a small Radical majority, but the official vote only will determine. The Democrats gain fivo Congressmen'.. Our friends are not discouraged by the result, and expect to carry the State in November. Such ie the news we have to offer this morning to our readers. The most sanguine expected bet? ter results, and we must confess that there is dis? appointment among many. The first intelligence that flashed over tho wires was greatly discourag? ing, but every day has stimulated hope and held out Btronger inducements to persevere unto the end. But, no matter what has been the result elsewhere, there ought to be no relaxing of energy here. We aro striving for domestic peace and tranquility, and on the unity and success of the Democratic party in this Stato will depend tho future weal or woe of all oar people, white and colored. In tho language of tho address published elsewhere, "when the tirao for registration shall come, let no man (not already registered) fail to appear, and none fail to vote. Let each one remember that his individual Tote may decide the election, and that the Electoral Vote of the State may turn the scale in; favor of the Democratic party." .(We cannot afford to despond nor despair. Then, bo of good cheer, and use every exertion to arouse the whole Democratic strength of the District, aud make a lasting record in favor of peaoe and quie? tude at home. . ANOTHER MURDER. B. F. Randolph, colored Senator from Orange I burg, and Radical candidate for Elector in the Third Congressional District, was killed at Hodge's Depot, in Abbeville District, on Friday last, under ?the following circumstances : He had been to Ab? beville C. H. the day before, and left there on Friday afternoon for this place, where ho was to "deliver a speech-at night. The Abbeville train and the up train for Greenville arrived at the same moment at Hodge's, and Randolph changed cars immediately on tlwir arrival. Taking a seat in .the first-class car, he was called out by two colored !men, who asked htm. when thoy might expect him to return; he stepped on the front platform of the passenger car to answer this question, when he was ^fircd upon by three or four men who were standing upon the depot platform, and within a , few feet of their victim. Three or four shots took effect, and he fell upon the ground, instantly killed. The men who committed this terrible deed .wem entirely unknown to the citizens, and imme? diately effected their escape by mounting their horses, hitched, only a short distanco from the ? train, and riding, rapidly away. Few were near the scene, as the majority of passengers and rail? road men had gone to the dinner house, on the op? posite side of the track where tho men stationed themselves to commit this deed, and therefore they were not seen by many persons. Wo wero returning from Columbia on that day, and when the shots were fired, immediately hastened with our fellow-passcn^crs from the dining room to in? quire the causr, and there lay Randolph weltering in his blood. From all wo could learn, he uttered no cry nor seemed conscious that death had over? taken him. We made inquiry of the citizens pres? ent if they knew the men, but none had. been re? cognized, fl.nd.in fact so sodden was their appear? ance and disappearance that they were actually seen by only a few individuals. The train leaving shortly after the murder was committed, we did not ascertain the disposition mado of the body, but presume that an inquest was held without delay. This is another act of violence greatly to be de? plored, particularly on account of the political capital manufactured at the North from every such occurrence, to the prejudice and oppression of the Southern people generally. The deceased, un? doubtedly exercised a bad in tine nee upon, tho ne? groes, and stimulated their passions and prejudices against their former masters. And wo candidly believe that his speeches and advice have done more to alienate tho twoxaces than any other in? fluence within our borders. But, at the same time, the desperato remedy resorted, to is neither corrective nor wholesome, and serves to- engender bitter feeling throughout the nation. DISTRICT CENTRAL CLUB. This body met on Saturday last, according to the published notice. A majority of the local Clubs were represented, and the meeting was at? tended with much harmony and good feeling. Re? ports from the various localities in our District were truly encouraging, and tho prospect of a rousing majority for tho Democratic ticket was never better. The prcxcntplan of organization for effective work exhibited good results, and the delogatos in attendance showed that zeal and ener? gy had boen. displayed, and will reap their reward at tho ballot box. Those sections not represented at this meetiug arc urged to press forward the plan adopted, aud work with unceasing effort until the polls aro closed on the ord day of November. Besides the reception of these interesting re? ports, littlo business was transacted. The Presi? dent made nn informal report from, the State Cen? tral Club, which was received as information^ The following gentlemen were selected to represent this District in the proposed Convention at Pendleton on Thursday, 22d instant, to notninatoa candidate for Solicitor of the Eighth Circuit, namely: James A. Hoyt, W. H. D. Gaillard, Maj. T. H. McCann and Joun M. Suu'so.v. The counties composing the eighth Circuit are Greenville, Pickcns, Oconee and Anderson, and it is expected that all Will be represented. ? Hon. B. H. Hill, of Georgia, now in. New York, writes a letter to the N. Y. Times, in which ho says: UI< shall ret urn home mortified if nofcfpj wiser man. Mortified only because I find in the North a bitter, yystematic, ?droit, and persistent misrepresentation of the temper, desires and views of the Southern whites, far exceeding my antici? pations." ? The Democratic Convcnlion of Pennsylvania says that nn official count is necessary to decide the result of the late election in that Suite. ? The returns from Indiana leave no doubt of the election of Baker, the Republican candidate for Governor. STATE CENTRAL CLUB. According to the published notice, tliis eenfrnl 'nuthoriiy of the Democratio party convened in Columbia on lust Thursday night. Twenty-three Di?uicts were represented. The President, Gen. Wade IIami'To.v, occupied the chair. The ensuing session was occupied in the discussion of impor? tant matters and the reception of verbal reporis from nil the Districts, and the Club did not adjourn until one o'clock on Friday morning. In conse? quence of our engagement with the District Club on Saturday, we were compelled to leave that morning, and thus deprived of any participation in the further proceedings.. We observe the fol? lowing resolution, published in the Phcenix, which was unanimouely'adopled: Resolved, That the State Oentral Club of South Carolina cordially endorse the views, statements and sentiments expressed by General Robert E. Lee, in his letter to General Rosencrans; believing that the utterances of General Lee reflects faith? fully the opinions, wishes and feelings of every true man in /South Carolina. Tho admirable address to the Democratic party, j?sued under authority of this Club, is published in our columns to-day. We commend a perusal of this address to every voter in the District, as em? bodying the spirit and policy which should actuate every lover of his country in this momentous crisis. Address of the Central Democratic Club to the Democratic Party of South Caroli? na. Fellow-Cjtizkns : Tho election for President and Vice-President of the United States is now close at band. The great principles involved in the contest; the magnitude of the interests at stake, and the influence which this State may have on the result, make this a proper occasion to lay [ before you a brief address. j The tendency and purpose oi the radical party as manifested in words and acts, are the a-beorp* tion of the liberty of the individual; the destruc" tion of States; tho subversion of the Constitution ? and the erection upon the ruins of individual and public liberty, a grand, grinding^consolidated des? potism. Already it has made rapid strides in that direction. Little, now, is loft for it to do but to j fuse into one mass, and then crystalize into,per" manent form its various acquisitions of usurped power. Its capricious acts; its wanton cruel? ties ; its corrupt practices; its enormous t bur? dens you have felt and do know. Against these, and more than these, you are now called upon to continue a resolute fight with the peaceful, though potent, weapon of the ballot. The Democratic party here and everywhere are dtriking with you for the principles of liberty, and the forms of Government to which we have been ac? customed, for a written Constitution, a Federal Union and a distinct existence of tho States. Surely, then, the principles of the contest are important, and the interest great. Arouse, there? fore, to the magnitude of the emergency, and spare no efforts for success. When the time for registration shall come, let no man fail to appear, and none fail to vote Let each one remember that his individual voto may decide the election in his own District, and that the electoral vote of the Stale may turn the scale in favor of the Democratic party. Our people must not despond, nor relax their efforts, if there should be failures elsewhere. On the contrary, they will have reason to hope, and much to stimulate them to increased energy, for it is yet possible to win. State elections are influen? ced, and sometimes controlled by local issues ; and it has often happened that these go one way, and i in a lew weeks thereafter, in the same place, the Presidential elections another. This may be the case in Mm present canvass; and, indeed, we have reason t-o hope so. Recently we have received re? ports from all parts of the State, which induce the belief that South Carolina, with proper effort, will be carried for Seymour and Blair. Let not the failure to do-so be ascribed to yon. The cauvass in which you are now engaged, is full of excitement, which will probably continue and increase to i-he emE We trust, therefore, that it will not be amiss to drop you a word of caution. The criminality of a few, and perhaps the indis? cretion of many, have placed it in the power of malice and misrepresentation to injure ns, and se? riously to damage the common cause. We urge you, therefore, not only to prevent violence, but to abstain from the appearance of it.. We are dealing with a false and subtle foo?prolific in inventions and venomons in purpose?a foe who fully under? stands the temporary profit of a nimble lie, which too often achieves its end before the truth can even buckle on her armor. We need not urgo upon you the policy and the duty of treating, with great kindness and.forbear? ance, the colored population of the State. This you have ever done, and will continue to- do, as long as you are permitted. We have no doubt you will make manifest the untruth of the malicious j charge, that by force you have compelled their votes or by intimidation kept them from tho polls. Their minds aro rapidly opening to the truth that the vagrant white man from the North, as well as the renegade of the South, who live by deceiving and plundering them, and who have been driving (hem to destruction, aro not trne friends, and are J unworthy of confidence and support. With a fair opportunity they will return to you, as their es- j trangement is owing entirely to the false teachings and malignant efforts of tho Northern emissary. 1 It cannot be forgotten that the State voluntarily, in 18G5, invested Ihc colored population with eve ry civil right; and'that the Democratic party, in Convention in April last, recognized them, under the previous action of the Slate, as- an integral clement in the body politic?and expressed its willingness, when in power, to enfranchise them to the extent which the public weal and their own good might warrant. The position then taken by the Convention, aud'which was announced to tho peo? ple of the State aud the country, is now rc-arffimed. We beg you to remember that the Democratic party of the Stale was not organized for the pur- j pose merely of supporting the nominees of the party, but for higher purposes and more onduring ends. It is possiblo that our present leaders may bo defeated, but our principles will survive. The liberty of the individual, the being and welfare of Stntes, the Constitution of the United States and a Federal Union under it, are objects worthy of pa? tience and enduring efforts. In the success we hope for, our orgonization will bo mosi useful; and, in case of defeat, it will become essential. We, thcretore, desire to impress upon you the ne? cessity of preserving intact and in full energy the .admirable organizations of the Democratic party of South Carolina.

We arc happy to observe the Bteady improve? ment of this Road under its present management. Through freight cars are now passing from 1 Charleston to Greenville, without breaking bulk, and we know that some of our merchants have btcn surprised at the early reception of goods from market. This facility in transportation al? ways increases businesu and attracts trade from a distance, and in this instance will not fail. Be? sides this noticeable featuro in the transmission of freights, the comforts and convenience of passen? gers are not overlooked, and elegant coaches have been recently placed upon the main line. Under the polite superintendence of Conductor Faxt, our trip to Columbia last week was rendered high? ly agreeable, so far as the travoling was concerned^. Altogether, and in a nut shell, the Greenville Rood is improving, - ? Napoleon has called upon the poets and com? posers of the empiri to ?{st him up a now national hymi:. ? H. T. ITelmbcld has writien a letter In favor of Seymour and Blair, and giveo a check for forty thousand dollars, to bo used to aid their eltctioa. ? Tho Return Judges of Election in Philadel? phia have been interrupted by a mandamus from the Ocurt of Comtr.cn Tleas, directing them r.ot io coiopleto the ietals of returns until further orders, I as the Court is inveitijating iafornuilifies in cer? tain precincci. ? Gen. Hooker lias boen placed cm tho retired list, with the fall rank of a Major-GenoraL ? California has already sent thirteen thousand dollars to tho sufi"9 r*rs bv tho lato earthquake on the South Pacific coast. ? The Old School.Presbyterirn Synod of Albany has unanimously passed resolutions favoring the union of the old and new schools. ? The Washington Express says: "We have been in possession cf all the facts for a day past in reference to a discovered plot to assassinate Pres? ident Johnson. We understand that these facts have been sent North. We, therefore, feel free to say that Mr. Frank Evans, an> employee of the Treasury Department, has exposed a plot arranged since the impeachment trial, to assassinate Presi? dent Johnson. A man named Eelmgerber is ac? cused by Evans aa being the head of the plot. The negroes were all sworn to kill the President. They meet nightly and take oaths, and have paint? ed mottoes, &c. ? The New York Times says: "This season cot? ton is coming forward rapidly, and in large quan? tities. Since the opening of the cotton year, on the first of the past month, up to the end of last week, over 55,000.bales were received at this port, which is 25,000 bales more than were received for the corresponding period of last year. The ex? ports to Europe, thus far, are also'much larger than they were for the same time last year. This is a great advantage both to the North and the South?furnishing the Sonth with money, and keeping our commercial exchanges of the North in good condition. ? There is very little difference in the strength of the armies of France and Prussia, as they are now organized. The French army has, all told, and ready for service at short notice, 1,300,000 men. Prussia ditto, 1,140,000. Should these im? mense armies be brought in conflict, there would soon be a decision as to the permanent victory. No long contest could possibly be maintained between powers so well provided with available forces. To tne Public. The following letter, addressed to an old citizen of the District, is published at tho instance of the writer: Elijah Webb, Esq.?Dear Sir : I wrote a letter to the Greenville Enterprise, which will be publish? ed this week, but without my signature. Notwith? standing I have not had anything to do with polit ical intrigue sinco April, (except my going to Co? lumbia in July.) I am satisfied there are false and malicious reports circulating which I have no way of refuting, except by a public declaration of my political sentiments. It is well known that I have always been a con? sistent Union man, but I have never advocated ultra R<itTicalism, oithcrby speaking, handbills, or otherwise; nor have I ever sanctioned negro su? premacy, equality or amalgamation. I believed that it was best to submit to the Acts of Congress. I was misled by a speech'of Gov. Ore's on the 21th of June, and by the addresses of Generals Lee and Longstrcct,-who advised the people- to accept those Acts as the terms of the conqueror. I then adopted the course which I have pursued, as the means best calculated to accomplish that end, and I must confess that L went further than I ever ex? pected to havo gone. 1 would have moved Heav? en and earth to have carried this State into the Union. I never sought nor accepted any office; but when importuned to accept the nomination for Licutenant-Governor, I escaped by bringing Judge Boozer forward. It is well known at Anderson that I would not have been a candidate for the Convention if Judge Monroe would have accepted that position. I now renounce all connection with politics, and having never voted for the President of the United States, I do not intend to do co now; nor do I thereby relinquish the right to cast that ballot as tho dictate of conscience would prompt me to do, by intimidation, but of choice. There ore a num? ber of men who went with the " generation of vipers;" and wherein they hare erred, I hope the odium may be cast upon me, and not attributed to them. I love my country, my home and my peo? ple, nnd no man would go further than I to save the State from tho humiliation under which she now labors, if I knew how to do it. But it does not matter what motives might actuato me, I could not face a peoplo who looked upon me as a Bene? dict Arnold. You can make what disposition-of this letter as to you may seem best?to alter, abridge, or pub? lish, as a friend for me. Yours, respectfully, N. J. NEWELL. P. S.?I send you this as a friend of my father. I now desire to return to the fold from which I have strayed. N. J. N. Jpjmciwiil.
