JAS. A. HOTT, E. B. MURRAY, JE?"?*S THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 9, 1876. TUESDAY'S WORK. Tlic result of last Tuesday's election is belter than the most sanguine Democrat .could have really expected. The elec? tion of Tilden and Hendricks, with the i?r?<' gains all over South Carolina for tire Democrats, is of itself enough, but the strong probability; amounting almost to a certainty, of Hampton's election as Governor is the grandest revolution ever effected peaceably and through the ballot box. It was won after a hard struggle against immense adverse circumstances. '. A majority of thirty thousand has been dissipated, despite the strenuous at.d unscrupulous efforts of Gov. Cham? berlain and his administration, backed by Grant, who, through his troops and Taft's instructions to Deputy Marshals, did his uttermost to manacle liberty in South Carolina, and thereby intimidate Democrats from making any effort to re? deem the State. The combination has fallen far short of its object. The State is rescued from the rogues and public enemies, and even if Chamberlain should be re-elected, which will not occur with a fair count in the State, he would be compelled to reform to a great extent, for there is a j>owerful Democratic influ? ence in the Legislature. Two Congressmen, three Solicitors, a United State* Senator, a Governor, and a President, is enough of victory and of | glory for the South Carolina Democrats to obtain in one day. The result fully vindicates the wisdom and propriety of | the straight-out canvass, and we con? gratulate the people of onr County and Suite upon the success of the policy which has been so persistently advocated by the Intelligencer.

Two Congressmen Elected Certain, and probably Two Others. Special Telegrams to the Anderson Intelligencer. Columbia, S. C, Nov. 8,1876. The sea coast counties roll up heavy Republican majorities, which are, - with? out giving you figures, counterbalanced by increased Democratic majorities in the upper counties, wfifeh assures Hamp? ton's election. . ., Tilden is certainly elected by twenty eight electoral votes more than a majori? ty. Every one here is wild, with excite^ ment, and the greatest enthusiasm pre? vails over the glorious result , r;; -;C. McK. . ' 1 ; '????'? Charleston, Nov. 8th. The election i?. very close1 in the city. We have only scattering returns from three counties in the low-country. Our most careful estimates for the whole State, including Charleston County, gives Hampton over ten thousand majority.' We do not think it possible that Charles? ton County, with its Republican majority, can overcome this majority in the State, and we believe that South Carolina is now safe for Tilden and Hampton. B. R. R. Greenville, Nov. 8th. Hampton's majority in Greenville County is twenty-five hundred. T. H. COOKE. Walhalla, Nov. 8th. The vote in Oconee County is as fol? lows : Tilden, 2094; Hampton, 2073 ; Aiken, 2063; Cothran, 2054; Hayes, 544; Chamberlain, 540; Carpenter, 540; Blythe, 555. Greenwood, Nov. 8th. The election passed off very quietly. The Democrats have two hundred and twenty-five majority at this precinct, and Abbeville County is considered safe for the Democracy. Columbia, Nov. 8th. The following returns and estimates have been received: The Republicans have carried Sumter County by one thousand majority. Twelve hundred and fifty majority for the Democrats in Barn well County. Greenville, twenty-five hundred majority for the Democrats. Spartanburg has been carried for the Democrats by three thousand majority, and it is claimed that Edgefield has gone Democratic by twenty-five hundred. Aiken County is given up by the Re? publicans, who concede a majority if three hundred to the Democrats. York County gives eight hundred and sixty two Democratic majority. Charleston County gives five thousand majority for the Republicans. Col. Aiken has been elected to Con? gress from the Third District and Col. Evins from the Fourth District. In the Fifth Congressional District, the proba? bilities are in favor of the election of Col. Tiilman. Tilden has two hundred and nine elec? toral votes certain, which is twenty-four more than a majority. Columbia, Nov. 8th. The election returns are coming in slowly. Tilden has one hundred and eighty-four electoral votes certain, with Louisiana, Florida and Wisconsin regar? ded as uncertain in the general estimates. Private dispatches indicate that Loui? siana has certainly been carried by the Democrats, and the majority is estimated at fifteen thousand. A dispatch from New York says that the result in that State is very close upon Tilden's election. The Democrats are confideut of carrying the State by a handsome majority, The dispatches received at the head quarters of the State Democratic Execu? tive Committee from all parts of the State indicate the following majorities: Democratic?Abbeville, one hundred; Aiken, six hundred; Barnwell, official count, twelve hundred and thirty-three; Chesterfield, eight hundred; Edgefield and Greenville, two thousand and five hundred each; Laurens, one thousand; Lexington, nine hundred; Marlboro, three hundred; Oconee and Pickens, fifteen hundred each; Spartanburg, three thousand; Marion, eight hundred; York, eight hundred and fifty. Republican?Chamberlain has a ma? jority of four thousand and five hundred in Beaufort; Chester, two hundred; Fairfield, six hundred; Newberry, five hundred and fifty; Orangeburg, seven? teen hundred; Richland, thirteen hun? dred; Sumter, fifteen hundred. Charles? ton and Georgetown give heavy Repub? lican majorities. Kershaw is considered doubtful. From these returns and estimates, the Demo? crats have carried the State by a small majority. Aiken and Evins are certainly elected to Congress. Tillman's election in the Fifth District depends upon Colleton, which has not yet reported. R. M. D. Charleston, Nov. 8th. All scattering returns which have been coming in to-night confirm our belief in Hampton's victory. There are only two papers of any prominence iu the North which dispute. Tilden's election, and these are= the New. York limes and the Washington Chronicle, both organs of the Grant administration. B. R. R. Abbeville, Nov. 8th. The Democratic majority in this Coun? ty is one hundred, with one precinct yet to be heard from. One box has been de? clared illegal, increasing our majority. J. S. C. Columbia, Nov. 9, 8.45. a. m. As far as heard-from up to this hour, Hampton has 3024 majority. Row in Charleston last night. New York, Nov. 8th. A Tribune extra just issued says the latest news leaves a bare possibility of Hayes' election. The probabilities are still all the other way, but the Republi? cans now claim Wisconsin and California. This leaves Tilden with one vote short of election, Hayes 20 short and the follow? ing doubtful Stutes from which either must draw for what he needs: Florida 4, Nebraska 3, Nevada 3, Oregon 3, South Carolina 7. New York, Nov. 8th. The Herald says that 21 States cast a majority for the Democratic nominees, 16 for the Republican?one State, Colo? rado, having previously cast her vote for .the latter. Thus Governor Tilden will be our next President, and Hendricks our next Vice-President. They have re? ceived 209 electoral votes against 160 cast for Governor Hayes and Wheeler, a clear majority of 49, and 24 more than was necessary for an election. There is very little chance of bettering these figures, and none of changing the result over. Our next House of Representatives will have a Democratic majority of at least 25. The State of New York is carried by the Democrats by probably 35,000, and the entire city Democratic ticket is elected by a majority ranging downward from 53,000, although the State looked doubtful yesterday. Indiana, Connecticut, New Jersey, and probablyv Wisconsin, is carried for the Democracy. South Carolina is in doubt, the voting being close, and being claimed by both parties. The negro vote was evidently divided between the two parties in the Southern States. New York, Nov. 8th. The Evening post gives Tilden 184 electoral votes, with Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Oregon and Wiscon? sin as doubtful. It says Mf^Tilden ap? pears to be elected President of the United States. Hayes cannot be elected without all of these. Returns from them to-day impossible. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 8. The returns indicate at least 25,000 majority for Tilden. Herbert in Second, Williams in Third, Ligon in Fifth, Hew ett in Sixth, Forney in Seventh, and Garth in Eighth?all Democrats?elected to Congress. Returns are favorable to Jones, Democrat, over Bradberry; Shelly, Democrat, makes immense gains. The Fourth District is very hopeful of the election of Harrison over Rapier, rival negro candidate. As far as heard from, there was not a difficulty in the State. The United States Marshal's Deputies, in this city were, with few exceptions, negroes. Washington, Nov. 8. The election of Hayes is still claimed by cautious Republicans, who count on carrying Louisiana and Florida. The Western Union bulletin states that the Democrats claim Louisiana by 10,000 majority. The Republicans claim Florida and Oregon. The World bureau here has the follow? ing from New York, 7 p. m.: Hendricks telegraphs that he has trustworthy advi? ces, that Wisconsin has gone Democratic by a majority of 1,000. The Star says neither Judge Edmonds or the President received dispatches from Chandler to-day. The fact is regarded as discouraging to hope for any possible change in figures to Hayes' side. Lake City, Fla., Nov. 8th. The opinion of moderate men is, that Florida will elect the entire Democratic State ticket by over 2,000 majority. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 8th. The Senate stands 11 Democrats, 11 Republicans. The House 29 Democrats, 31 Republicans, giving Republicans 1 majority on joint ballot. The Democrats still claim another member. But the above figures are reliable, and secures a Republican United States Senator. As yet no definite returns, and matters stand as they did last night. Both par? ties claim the State. Returns point to Democratic gains in interior. Elam, Democrat, elected to Congress. The city will probably give ten thousand Demo? cratic majority. Columbia, Nov. 8th?11.30 p. m. The Republicans now claim eight thousand majority in Charleston County. Also, fifty-three hundred in Beaufort; twelve hundred in Georgetown and six hundred and six in Williamsburg. With these majorities allowed, the estimate of the Democrats give the State to Hamp? ton by two thousand. The election is so ! close, however, that it will require an official count to decide the result. Private telegrams place the national contest in doubt. Both parties are anx? iously telegraphing here for the electoral result, and it seems that South Carolina is now the pivotal point of interest. Returns received to-day have put a new aspect on the national election, giv? ing Tilden one hundred and eighty-four electoral votes, with any of the States of Florida, Nevada, Oregon and South Car? olina necessary to elect him. A Dispatch from Republican sources says with South Carolina we are safe. Later returns, however, may change this condition of affairs. We have news to-night of trouble in Charleston, but at this time we are with? out particulars as to the nature of the difficulties. C. McK. Columbia, Nov. 9?3 p. m. Tilden has certainly carried New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana and the Southern States, except Louisiana, Florida andv South Carolina, which are yet in doubt. The De&ocrats claim Lou? isiana by fifteen;' thousand, and the Re publicans claim that the river parishes will make the State go Republican by ten thousand. The Democrats claim Florida by from twelve to twenty-five hundred majority, and the Radicals by fifteen hundred. A storm prostrated the wires in Florida. Both parties claim Wisconsin by one thousand majority. Both parties claim South Carolina by three thousand votes. The only positive information at this time is that Tilden has one hundred and eighty-four electo? ral votes sure and certain, with equal chances for carrying the above doubtful States, all of which must be carried by Hayes to elect him by one vote. The Democrats have the ? better prospects, both in this State and the United States. L. Ca3S Carpenter concedes that Col. Aiken has been elected by seven thou? sand majority. Col. Evins has been elected from the Fourth Congressional District by seven thousand and seven hundred majority. C. McK. Columbia' Nov. 9th?9.45 p. m. All the returns received up to this time concedes Tilden's election as certain. Illinois has gone Democratic by a small majority, which settles the question effect? ually. The result in South Carolina is yet in doubt, although the Republicans claim that Chamberlain is elected by four thou? sand majority. But the Democrats are equally confident that Hampton has been elected by a similar majority, and the in? dications are that the latter is correct. There is a terrible excitement in Charleston to-night. All business was suspended at an early hour this evening, as the premonitions of a serious riot began, and a terrible conflict is regarded as imminent. There is no communica? tion by telegraph, as the wires are down, and we are in a state of great anxiety about the situation in Charleston, which is critical in the extreme. Everybody here is confident of both Tilden and Hampton's victory. Columbia, Nov. 8?10.30 p. m. Dispatches from Charleston point to the election of Hampton and the State ticket by from 1700 to 1900 majority, after conceding the Republican estimate for 6000 majority in that county. We have a majority of one in joint ballot in the next General Assembly, which se? cures a Democratic United States Sena? tor to succeed Robertson. Tilden runs behind Hampton, but not fur enough to lose the electoral vote of this State. He has 184 electoral votes seemed, with Florida, Louisiana and this State certain to give him 18 additional votes. THE VERY LATEST. Columbia, Nov. 9?midnight. The following are official majorities for the Democrats in South Carolina: Aiken, 742; Abbeville, 187; Anderson, 3030; Barn well, 1230; Greenville, 2396; Hor ry, 1352; Lexington, 871; Lancaster, 305; York, 862; Edgefield, 8225. Lau rens, 1161; Marlboro, 363. Total, 15, 724. The following are the estimated ma? jorities for the Democrats based upon re? liable information : Chesterfield, 800; Marion, 750; Oconee, 1600; Pickens, 1500; Spartanburg, 3200; Union, 900. Total estimated majority 8650. Certain and estimated Democratic majorities, 24,474. The official radical majorities are, Beaufort, 5332; Colleton, 167; Chester, 660; Fairfield, 606; Newberry, 565; Orangeburg, 1607; Richland, 1422; Williamsburg, 606. Total 10,965. The Radicals claim the following ma? jorities: Charleston, 7000; Clarendon, 600; Darlington, 900; Georgetown, 2000; Kershaw, 300; Sumter, 1500. Total ma? jority claimed by Radicals in estimated counties, 12,300; total Radical majority, official and estimated, 23,265. This leaves a majority of over 1200 for Hampton, after all they claim has been allowed them. The Associated Press puts Hampton's majority at 1929, which is probably about right. This estimate is regarded as well nigh certain. The House of Representatives will be Demo? cratic by four majority, and the Demo? crats will have a majority of one on joint ballot, which secures a United States Senator. The Democrats have elected two Congressmen?Aiken and Evins. The National election is as certain as possible for the Democrats. Florida has gone Democratic by at least two thou? sand, which elects Tilden without Louis? iana, South Carolina or Wisconsin. Private dispatches from New Orleans says Tilden has certainly carried Lou? isiana. A riot occurred in Charleston on Wed? nesday evening, caused by negroes at? tacking white men. It is supposed to have been brought on because the Re? publicans were exasperated at the news and the exultation of the Democrats over their victory. It occurred on Broad Street. A portion of the police took part with the mob, and Mr. E. H. Wal? ter, son of Mr. George. H. Walter, a prominent cotton merchant, was shot and instantly killed by a rifle in the hands of a policeman. Thirteen other white men were wounded?some of them mortally. Eleven negroes were wounded, two mortally. The Uni? ted States troops were ordered out, and with the aid of the citizens dispersed the mob. The soldiers were fired upon by negroes. Everything is quiet to-day, but iuteuse excitement prevails. C. McK. If any vindication of the straight-out policy in the State and County is needed, beyond the fact that it is honorable and right in itself the increased vote and majorities in al). the Democratic counties of South Carolina furnish it. ? General Hampton said that when he laid his head upon his pillow Saturday night he should do so with the proud conciousness that he had done his duty to his State. THE NATIONAL ELECTION. The result in the United States is suffi? ciently ascertained to count certainly upon 213 votes in the electoral college for Tilden, which is twenty-nine^inore than enough to elect him, and eighfy-qne ma> j?rity over Hayes. The following are the DEMOCRATIC STATES: Alabama. 10 i Arkansas.?'. 6 Connecticut................ 6 Delaware. 8 j Georgia.;. 11 Indiana. 15 Kentucky..... 12 Louisiana.;.:. 8 Maryland. 8 Mississippi.r*3T.? ^ Missouri.,. 15 New Jersey.;.. 9 New York....... 35 North Carolina. 10 Tennessee. 12 Texas.,. 8 Virginia.;. 11 West Virginia. 5 Total.213 The following are the REPUBLICAN STATES: California. 6 Colorado. 3 Illinois. 21 Iowa. 11 Kansas. 5 Maine. 7 Massachusetts. 13 Michigan. 11 Minnesota. 5 Nevada. 3 New Hampshire. 5 Ohio.'.. 22 Oregon.'.. 3 Pennsylvania. 29 Rhode Island....4 Vermont. 5 Total.132 DOUBTFUL STATES. The result in the following States has not yet been decided: Florida.4 Nebraska. 3 South Carolina. 7 Wisconsin.10 . Total.....24 This makes Tilden's possible vote 237, or 105 majority. If, however, they go Republican, it makes Hayes possible vote 156, or 29 less than enough to elect. CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS. The election for Congressman in South Carolina has resulted*in placing Col. D. Wyatt Aiken from the Third and Col. John H. Evins from the Fourth Districts by from seven to eight thousand majority each, thus securing the defeat of L. Cass Carpenter and A. S. Wallace, two of the worst and most objectionable Radicals in the State. South Carolina has at last ob? tained a voice in the National Congress, and the misrepresentations and falsehoods of political frauds who pretend to repre? sent our people. ELECTION DAY IN GREENVILLE. Almost a Riot? Ropnblicans Crowding the Polls and United States Troops called upon to Preserve the Peace. The Greenville Daily Enterprise of the 8th inst. gives the following account of a disturbance in that city on election day, caused by the precipitate action of the Republicans in seeking to crowd the polls: The boxes were opened in the north? eastern room of the old Court House, and the votes deposited in them through the rear window fronting the northern Bide. From the front of the building, along the curb-stone pxteuding to the window, there was a constant stream of persons, who were crowding their way along in order to cast their votes. The pressure in this stream upon those in front was at times considerable, and the progress it made seemed to be extremely slow. Contiguous to the window where the votes were received, were stationed several members of the city police, Chief of Police J. G. Greer and privates Carter and Watson being among the number, and also John P. Scruggs, the Chief United States Deputy Marshal. These officials were detailed to keep or? der at the polls. Each man as he reached the precinct, fell in at the rear of the line of persons on the curb stone, and took his turu, in regular succession, after the retiring of the one in front of him. This regula? tion was under the supervision of the police officers. At about eleven o'clock, Harrison White, Thos. Briar and Wm. Froneber ger, all colored, came with a party and attempted to rush over the policemen to get to the ballot box with the intention of voting, contrary to the regulations, taking hold of Policemen Shumate, Greer, Abernathy, and Kelley, and strik ing at Policemarr Shumate but failing to hit him. The policemen named at once repulsed them. When White, Briar and Froneberger found they were defeated in their purpose, they at once started off to seek the intervention of Capt. K. C. Cook with his troops, United States Deputy Marshal Scruggs being at the head of the party. At this juncture of affairs, Capt. Cook appeared upon the scene, and instantly assisted Chief of Police Greer in re-estab? lishing order and in carrying out the reg? ulations. In the meantime, Capt. C. had ordered his company of men, at the re? quest of Mayor Cleveland, to repair to the vicinity of the polls, and they took their station in the rear of the market house. Capt. Cook being on the streets at the time of the occurrence, he sought Mayor Cleveland and asked him if he could maintain the peace without the aid of his command. Mayor Cleveland informed him promptly that he could not, and that he would be glad if he would order his troops to repair to the scene of the diffi? culty, as he felt assured they were needed in order to keep the colored people quiet and orderly. Thus was prevented an affair which at one time presented a most serious and threatening aspect. For if either one of the disorderly persons had succeeded in striking either of the policemen, or there had been a pistol shot off, the result would have been magical for evil. It is clearly the opinion of many in the city that the whole affair was caused by the imprudent conduct of United States Deputy Marshal Scruggs and Harrison 'White,- and that they alone are to -be : blamedfbr the danger threatened to jjhe lives a#d property of our citizens. With this exception, the election day- ; in Greenville passed off without any dis? turbance ; and there was less intoxication than has been usual, by a great deal. This is owing largely, no doubtj to the wise precaution' exercised by the"TMayor and Council in having had closed the bar-rooms of the city on the day as well as on the previous one. ? ? The principal portion of the voters hav? ing, cast their ballots by 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the unusually large crowd was entertained at various times by the. read? ing :of genuine and bogus telegrams from the adjoining towns and, the different cities throughout the country, concerning the result of the elections. HAMPTON'S CLOSING, DAY, A Brilllaut Ovation to oui Chieftain In Columbia.. Correspondence of the New York Herald. General Wade Hampton closed his canvass here to-day in one of the most magnificent ovations ever tendered a gu? bernatorial candidate. The city was lit? erally covered with decorations, and the principal thoroughfare.was studded with triumphal arches, which were again cov? ered with mottoes, portraits and festoons of evergreens. Nothing like the scene of to-day has occurred in Columbia, since the reception of Marquis de Lafayette upon his arrival here from France after the Revolution. The day- was ushered in by the booming of a-salute and vocif? erous cheers and yells for "Hampton and reform." , A graud procession was formed at the State House, which extended to the fair grounds, at the opposite end of the city, where the speaking took place. Five thousand voters, mounted and on foot, were in line, including about 300 colored Democrats, and no such enthusiasm has ever before beep, witnessed. The nation? al flag was everywhere. It was a matter of amazement to outsiders where so much of the Union bunting came from. It floated in wavy folds from ropes extended across the streets. It fluttered in the carriages, sparkled on the bosoms of the ladies, and stuck jointly up from the hats of every Carolinian, white or black, in the procession. .Even the horses and mules testified their patriotism by wear? ing the Stars and Stripes in their head fear. Some of the colored Hampton )emocrats were actually wrapped in the national banner, to their intense gratifi? cation and delight. There has rarely been such an exhibition of patriotic de? votion to flag and government as has been seen here to-day. THE MOTTOES AND INSCRIPTIONS. Among the thousand mottoes which met the eye and which strikingly illus? trated the character of the campaign were the following: Hampton and Home Rule." This inscription, painted in great letters, was suspended over the street and was lustily cheered as the procession passed under it. On the reverse side were the words "Tilden and the Union," which also brought-'forth the boisterous enthusiasm of the crowds passing be neath. Further down the street was an? other immense banner wich the motto so [ persistently advocated by Wade Hamp I ton, "Equal Rights to Blacks and j Whites." The most beautifully decora? ted arch across the street was that in ! front of the military headquarters of the Department of the South. It was adorned with the portraits of the national and State Democratic candidates and abound? ed with mottoes and inscriptions, the most prominent among which was "South Carolina owes a debt of gratitude to the New York He) aid." The words were handsomely and artistically inscribed on a large sheet of blue satin fringed with white lace, and placed conspicuously in a panel which made the keystone of" the arch. Around it were garlands and fes? toons of evergreens, presenting one of the neatest and most effective pictures of the occasion. In another portion of the city there was a flag with the words "Hurrah for the New York Herald." HAMPTON AND* THE HEEALD. The enthusiastic demonstration in be? half of the Herald evinces the apprecia? tion of the people for its services, and is one of the best indications of the power, extended influence and great popularity of the paper. Hampton has read its ed? itorials on every stump, and to-day there is hardly a citizen in South Carolina with whom the Herald is not a household word. It is safe to estimate that there were over 15,000 people at the meeting. The order among the whites and their colored coadjutors was excellent, but the turbulence and proscription among the colored republicans showed itself in a manner that, in any city north of Mason and Dixon's line, would have provoked riot and bloodshed. On the other hand, the forbearance and good humor of the whites, and particularly the colored Democrats, was, under the circumstances, in the highest degree praiseworthy. COLORED DISSENTIENTS. As the procession passed along the streets, crowds of colored men and women, congregated on the corners, in- j dulged in obscenity, curses and insult to those of their own race who were in the line. The women were the most violent. They yelled, "Rah for Cliamlin," "Damn Hampton." "Pull the damn nigger off de horse. Kill him." In such a chorus, and with gesticulations as to provoke re? sentment. It seemed as if thev were specially intent upon creating a disturb? ance. Whenever a negro Democrat ap? peared he was cursed, pushed off the side? walk, spit upon, and in many instances beaten by the colored viragos, assisted by the negro supporters of Governor Cham? berlain. Several of the coloied. Demo? crats were stoned as they rode singly along the streets. Two of them were pulled olF their horses, and their Hamp? ton badges and decorations were instant? ly taken from their persons and torn into shreds. The Stars and Stripes which they wore were indignantly torn up aud trampled upon by these South Carolina colored Republicans. The little flags in the hands of white children were snatch? ed out of their bands, destroyed and thrown in th? gutters. White ladies walking along the streets were subjected to the most obscene language, insult and often to personal assault. During the entire day this sort of negro intimidation and proscription was kept up, but it was submitted to with the stem determina? tion not to gratify their enemies by re? senting it and causing a riot. General Ruger himself and staff witnessed scenes and incidents of this kind occurring un? der the windows of the Wheeler House. Several personal altercations, incident to such an occasion, took place, but nothing of a serious nature, and the white men engaged in them were invariably hurried to the station houses. Some five or six persons were slightly injured. The Republicans held their meeting and had a procession here this very day a week ago, and in no instance were they interfered with. No white or colored Democrat offered them insult or even jeered at them. THE NIGHT DEMONSTRATION. To-night the demonstration exceeded that of the morning. The city was bril? liantly illuminated and 10,000 torch bearers were in procession. The pyro? technic display was the grandest ever seen in the State, and the enthusiasm of the people was unbounded. Hampton is now speaking at the State House to an immense multitude massed there and carrying their torches. This will be his last address, after a continuous campaign of sixty-two days, in which time he has visited each of the thirty-two counties of the State, traversing over 2,000 miles and making over 100 speeches and addresses to nearly 200,000 persons, of both racea and parties. THREE HUNDRED GUNS. - The ovations tendered him in every tnatter make manifest the heartfelt in: jrest centred'in his election. They have ExceededJijj; magnificence any similar re? ception in any previous campaign in the ^United States. He closes in a blaze of glory, and if defeated it will be the sad? dest blow the people of South Carolina have ever yet experienced. Opposing Bayonet. Knie. The address 'by ex-?ttorney-General Gilchrist,Trt-the~mectingheld in Jersey City to protest against Grant's use of bayonets in the South, presented the question clearly, and ably, out with great moderation of. tone and feeling. After: briefly referring to the sadness of the scene, even when necessity requiresthV interposition of the array in a/fairs ; af? fecting tlie liberties of the citizen, he said that thi3 feeling of sadness was not so strong when the militia, composed of neighbors and friends, was called out to' suppress disturbance. "Bu t," he contin-. ued, "not one in a hundred.oft,the regu-j lar army of the United "States' is a citizeu of the United Stilts.'They are strangers. men without the cultivation of civilized society, aliens, hirelings. The use' of such then against our free people is a dangerous and' alarming....thing. We might not protest if we really believed there was such a danger as called for this interposition; but we'are not satisfied that the call for the army of the Unite<| States is made with sincerity for.the pur? pose of putting down any real insurrec? tion. wMy fellow-citizens, if there is any day in the year on which we are all soye* reigns, it is election day. If ajl our citizeus are equal on any day of the year, 't is election day. If there is any .week day sacred, it is the day when ? we'exerr eise the elective franchise. On that day there ought not to be any soldiers any? where in arms. Our law and the law of every State in this Union prohibits even the training, of the militia on elec? tion day. Even the law of the Uni? ted States prevents the assembling of any armed force on election. day. except to keep the peace. We have been brought up in the idea that we are a free people, and that we can govern, ourselves. If it has come to this?that oh the day of all the year when we are to exercise our sovereign; power it is necessary " to . keep us in order with the army of the United States?I tell you, my fellow-citizens, the day of the republic is gone." But Mr. Gilchrist held that even if Grant's action was .'technically legal, the ruler of a free people is bound to regard public decency. He belongs to a politi? cal party which is on trial. His whole history as a civil ruler for . the last eight years is under discussion, and partisan feeling runs high. It was therefore his duty, before he took such, a step, to l^y before the people of the United States unimpeachable proofs to satisfy them be? yond a reasonable doubt that it was for the protection of life and liberty that he resorted to armed force; but he does hot deign to give us the evidence upon which he has proceeded. He shows a letter from a United States Marshal, showing that there was disorder at one public meeting; but that could be stated of every State in the Union. There is ten times more disorder in Pennsylvania on election day than in South Carolina ; but there are no troops sept to Pennsylvania. On the other hand,, we have the best, evi? dence that there is no disorder calling for these troops in South' Qaroiina. Ah the clergy of the city of Charleston have written a letter to the people of the Uni? ted States testifying that there is none. Do these men of God, come before the people, on the most public occasion pos-. sible and perjure themselves ? That can? not be. The presidents of the banks and other financial institutions in Charleston and other parts of South Carolina testify in the same letter that there is no disor? der in the State of South Carolina. Now, what does this mean? Have all the leading business men of the State of South Carolina become perjurers and liars? I have here the order of Don Cameron, the Secretary of War, made on the 15th of August last. You will recollect that, just before Congress adjourned, the House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution deprecating any disorder, con? fusion or alarm in any of the States of the Union, and expressing the opinion that all the people, especially those who had been recently admitted to the suf? frage, should be, and would be, confirmed and undisturbed in their rights. What do you think was done immediately upon the adjournment of that Congress ? Don Cameron issues an order to Gen. Sherman stating that the President thought that it was in accordance with the spirit of that preamble and resolution, passed unan? imously by the House 01 Representa? tives, to hold in readiness the whole army of the United States, and prepare to anarch upon the people. My fellow citi? zens, is not that a sham, a disingenuous and unfair statement ? Was it riot a false pretence upon which he gave that order? That was the 15th of August, and the election was not to come until November. In 1870 there was a Convention of the Republican party to be held in the city of New Orleans to nominate a candidate for Governor. Gen. Grant's brother-in law, Mr. Casey, was then Collector of the United States customs in that port. He headed a certain portion of the Republi? cans of that State, and Warmoth headed another portion of them. Mr. Casey called the Republican Convention to meet in the United States Custom House, where no political convention ought to be permitted to be assembled. The section of tbe party headed by Casey and Grant was the fewest in numbers. Warmoth had a majority of the Convention. What did Casey and his people do ? They let in by a side door the friends of Casey. A troop of artillery were marched into the Custom House, and they planted Gatling guns all along to shoot their brother Re? publicans that wouldu't vote for Casey, the brother-in-law of Grant. This is a fact that some of us had forgotten. I say that the proclamation of such a man, when confronted by the testimony of all these clergymen and business men, is not to be regarded as truth. But that is not all In 1872, in that same State of Louisiana, there was a contest between Kellogg and McHeury for Governor. The election was held on tbe same day as the Presidential election. McHenry, the Democratic candidate, was elected by 20,000 majority, as has since been re? ported by a committee of Republican Senators of tbe United States. But you find Attorney General Williams tele? graphing on the 3d of December to Mar? shal Packard, who is a connection of this mau Casey, "You are instructed to take the army of the United States and exe? cute the" decrees of any Federal court, and call upon Gen. Emory for that army." Why, at that time there was no decree of any Federal court. But two, days after? ward a drunken Federal Judge appointed by Grant, Judge Durell, sits in his room iu a hotel in New Orleans, and issues an order directing that the members elected to the State Legislature should not go iu to the State House. There was no suit. There was no claim. He had no more jurisdiction to make that order than you would have, Mr. Chairman, to make an order that all the people here present should take out their watches and give them to you; and the Republican Senate of the United States have since so de? clared bv passing resolutions to that ef? fect. Here was an actual conspiracy. God forgive me if I do them any injustice; but when liberty is at stake, we ought to bo jealous. It was a conspiracy to issue a false decree, and get. the army of the United States to execute it. In the same State of Louisiana we have seen Geh. Sheridan sent down there, and telegraphing back, "I can keep,, order here if you will only make Congress de clare the White Leagues banditti." They sent a Republican committee do^a there to inquire about that White League, and they returned and reported 'that; #he White League was composed of honest people, trying to protect; thejr- property and earn their'lmngqute1;ly:,.Geh.Sfi<}y idan found no i response from Congress. He telegraphed againr "If Che Pre$li$rit will only allow me to declare|,them' ban? ditti, I will arrest them;" and Belknap replied i "Allof u&ViU aupport you* Ji My'friend^,,haven't we a right to sus? pect this proclamation? Haven't we a right to say that we cannot beliere the -Pxesidootf- ThitMs-a -short-history, but to those who value liberty it is a shame? ful and an infamous history. I hope, my fellow citizens, you will pass resolutions that may be firm and de? cided.. There is no way of preserving; our institutions unless'.; pre; .can\7p?ejre?t the army of the United States from beitfg turned loose upon a portion of our peo? ple to declare them villians and outlaws. ?
