JAS. A. HOYT, |_ E. B. MURBAY, jEdit0rS THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 16, 1876. COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The Democratic Executive Committee of Anderron County will meet in the Intelligencer rooms on to-morrow, Friday, morning at 11 o'clock a. m. Matters of great importance will come before the meeting, and a full and punc? tual attendance is earnestly requested. TO DEMOCRATIC CLUBS. We wish to urge the Democratic Clubs of our County to keep up their organiza? tion and continue to have meetings at stated intervals at which every member should try to be present. Moreover the work of getting members should not be stopped now that the election is over. Every colored man of the County should be induced to join the clubs as soon as possible, and thus unify our whole people in politics. Remember that "the price of liberty is eternal vigilance," and do not become negligent after the glorious conquest made on the 7th day of Novem? ber. Keep up the clubs and strengthen them from time to time by every possible exertion which is fair and right. By such a course South Carolina will give a Democratic majority of 30,000 in the next election. WHO IS GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA? There seems to be considerable anxiety in the minds of some persons about our next Governor. If the people have had any voice at all in this election Wade Hampton is the man. The reports from the boards ol managers give Hampton a majority of 1,406 votes, while Tilden runs about 600 votes behind him. The Radi? cals, carpet-baggers or rogues, whichever suits them best, are defeated, and no one knows it any better than they do. They are so accustomed to stealing, how? ever, we will not be surprised if they make an attempt to steal the Democrats out in the count. The very fact that the bogus Board of State Canvassers is dilly dallying about making the return, and is trying to usurp more authority than the constitution warrants them, satisfies our mind that Chamberlain is defeated. When a man gains a victory he makes haste to inform his friends, and had Chamberlain been elected and the elec? toral vote of South Carolina cast for ? Hayes and Wheeler the news would have been confirmed by this same Board long before this time. But four of this Board are holding an inquest over their own political demise, consequently it is hard, very hard, for them to return a verdict "dead." How hard it is for such repro? bates to die. We might call upon them to "tell the truth and shame the devil" if we did not believe the old man was already ashamed of them. THE RESULT IS THE STATE. We publish below a tabular statement of the result of the recent election, show? ing the majorities in each county ; also, the number of Representatives in each^ county, and the party to which they be? long; also, the Senators of each. The counties having Democratic Senators are marked thus *. Representatives. Majorities. Dem. Rep. Counties. Dem. Rep. 5 Abbeville*. 187 4 Aiken*. 742 4 Anderson. 3,031 5 Barnwell*. 1,230 6 Beaufort. 5,331 17 Charleston ... 6,223 3 Chester. 328 2 Chesterfield* 750 2 Clarendon. 558 5 Colleton. 1,211 4 Darlington.... 780 5 .

Democratic Senators, 15; Republican, 18. On joint ballot the Democrats have 79, the Republicans 78?a majority of 1. The counties of Anderson, Colleton, Lancaster and Marlboro, which elected Democratic Representatives and county officers this time, have Republican Sena? tors, who were elected two years ago, and hold their seats for two years longer. The County of Colleton gave 1,211 Re? publican majority for State officers, but on account of a split in the Republican party of the County, the Democratic majority for county officers was near 500, thus securing a majority in the Legisla? ture by a division of the Republicans in this County. ADDRESS. lb the People of the State : In offering to our people my heartfelt congratulations and gratitude for the grand victory they have won, I venture to beg them to prove themselves worthy of it by a continued observance of good or? der and rigid perseverance of peace. Let us show that we seek only the restoration of good government, the return of pros? perity and the establishment of harmony to the whole people of our State. In the hour of victory we should be magnani? mous, and we should strive to forget the animosities of the contest by recalling the grand results of our success. Pro? scribing none for difference of opinion, regarding none as enemies save such as are inimical to law and order, let us all unite in the patriotic work of redeeming the State. By such conduct we cannot only bring about good feeling among all classes, but can most surely repp the best fruits -of ^victory. WAr>E HAMPTON. - LATEST FROM COLUMBIA. Special Telegrams to the Anderson Litelligencer. Columbia, Nov. 11.?12 a. m. Advices from Florida and Louisiana render certain, we think, that the Dem? ocrats carried both. Tilden's vote in South Carolina is not especially reported to us. Latest estimate gives his majority in this State at 600. The State Can? vassers are meeting this morning. Con? ner, and other able counsel, are before them. The fight now will be to deny j urisdiction of the Board as judicial authority. Radicals threaten to throw out the vote of Democratic Counties in? cluding Anderson. Troops ordered to Louisiana and Florida. Prominent citi? zens of Northern States are invited and en route to New Orleans to witness the counting of the returns. Others will come here probably. Hampton this morning issued an address to the people of thanks and congratulation, counselling the utmost prudence, with forbearance and magnanimity to opposition, and es? tablishing ourselves as seeking alone the restoration of good government. James A. Hoyt. Columbia, Nov. 14?5 p. m. The Supreme Court has just issued a Rule against the State Canvassers, re? quiring them to shew cause on Thursday next why a Writ of Prohibition should not issue against their exercise of judi? cial functions, and also mandamus re? quiring them to issue certificates of elec? tion to the candidates elected according to the returns of the County Canvassers. The Democrats are hopeful of a favora? ble decision. Louisiana and Florida are certainly Democratic. J. A. Hoyt. Columbia, Nov. 15?12 m. The latest revision of the returns in the official count from all except eight Counties does not vary the previous esti? mate in regard to Hampton's majority, which will be near fourteen hundred. It j is rumored that many Radicals now con? cede Hampton's election. Tbey claim the balance of the State officers, and a majority for Hayes in this State. They are evidently weakening. Senator Ran dolph, Gen. Gordon, Montgomery Blair and others are here in behalf of the Democrats, and Judge Carter in behalf | of the Republicans. The State Can? vassers, unless restrained by the Supreme Court, will attempt to throw out Edge field, Barnwell and Laurens Counties. The Democrats protest in many Coun? ties, including Charleston, Beaufort and Georgetown, charging fraud and intimi? dation. The time of holding the State Fair is postponed to the fifth of Decem? ber, on account of the political excite? ment throughout the State. James A. Hoyt. THE SUMMING UP.

Votes. South Carolina.7 Tilden's popular majority is 306,300. Sure majority over Hayes in electoral college is 23 votes. There is a fair chance for South Caro? lina and even for Oregon, but if both these States are lost by the Democrats, Tilden is elected by a clear and fair ma I jority in the electoral college, and by an overwhelming majority of all the people of the United States. The Charleston papers announce that Mujor William A. Wardlaw died sudden? ly at his rooms on Broad street in Charles? ton on Friday night last from apoplexy. He was born at Abbeville, South Caro? lina, and was a brother of both Chan? cellor and Judge Wardlaw. Hayes says he does not care for him? self or the county about his defeat. It is the poor negro he is sorry for. Don't be uneasy about them, Governor, for they will fare a thousand times better under President Tilden and Governor Hamp? ton, than they possibly could have done under you-as President, and Chamberlain as Governor. The Democratic party will protect them from violence to any ofj their rights, and that is more than Re? publicanism has ever done. We com? mend the second letter of Rev. Francis >avie, colored, which we publish else? where, to Gov. Hayes' perusal, and with its comforting assurances we suppose he will be contented about the Waterloo of | the Seventh Instant-. - - ' . THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST. There is intense anxiety felt through? out the United States as to the result of the election held for President and Vice President. This anxiety does not arise from any doubts in the minds of the people as to which of the candidates has received a majority of the popular votes, for Tilden and Hendricks have a majority of near three hundred thousand; nor does it arise from any doubt as to which of them is intitled to a majority in the electoral college. One hundred and eighty-five electoral votes secures the election of the President. Tilden has one hundred and eighty-four elec? toral votes certain, without either Loui? siana, Florida or South Carolina. Loui? siana and Florida have certainly gone Democratic, and there is no doubt that South Carolina has also gone Democratic. The vote of any one of these States, or a single vote from any one of them, would insure TiJden's election. That he is to? day the duly and constitutionally elected President cannot be doubted by any un? prejudiced mind. The anxiety existing in the public mind is caused by the fear of the people that the corrupt Canvassing Boards of these States will thwart the voice of the people by throwing enough Democratic counties or parishes out to give the Radical State and Federal tick? ets a majority. That the Canvassing Boards of these States are vile and cor? rupt enough to do this there is no doubt, and nothing but the fear of the over? whelming condemnation of an outraged people will prevent it. We believe that this will prevent it. They may lie and threaten, but they dread the righteous indignation of an injured and outraged people. We advise all to be calm but firm, quiet but resolved, with the assur rance that the corrupt individuals com? posing the Boards of Canvassers of these States will not be permitted to foist upon the country a President in opposition to the declared will of the people of the whole country. THE RESULT. Editors Intelligencer: That political factions engender strife and revolution needs no other proof than that afforded us by history. The bloody threats of some of the leaders of the Republican party indicates that instead of being a party of great "moral ideas," it is dwindling down to a faction; and the country might have cause for alarm, but for the fact that the American peo? ple know what the threats of a political bully amount to. But at the same time history is repeating itself in no uncertain tones to our people, and the desperation of certain leaders may yet be the means of raising a turbulent faction. But we have every reason now to believe the country safe. The great fight has been made; the political armagadon has been fought at the ballot box, and victory perches on the banners of the people, who are determined to entrust their lib? erties no longer in the hands of corrup tionists. The returns from the different States show that Samuel J. Tilden, of New York, has been chosen President of the United States by more than a quarter million of votes over his opponent. This is one of the grandest triumphs ever known in the political history of any nation; and while but few nations may be capable of self-government, yet this mighty people are; not ready to give up the ballot box and say to the world our republic is a failure. They have not sunk like many of our would-be leaders in the mire of corruption, nor are they going in to bring them out to bestow new honors upon them, but already the man? tle is cast upon the shoulders of others, who have kept themselves unspotted. Eight years of grinding in the "outrage mill" has failed to produce shackles enough to bind our people, and nobly have they asserted their manhood. Du? ring the past fifteen years the people have wandered far in the desert, follow? ing malignant leadeis; becoming weary, they cast their eyes back over the way, and in the distance they beheld the rock, even the constitution upon which, our government is founded, while fields of prosperity beckoned them back. With joy have they run to their refuge, and upon the rock they have planted them? selves, and well may some of the Repub? lican leaders gnash their teeth in rage. Constitutional usurpation has marked the course of the Republican party from its inception. Under its rule political license had become so great that the dir? tiest puppy in its ranks made no hesitan? cy in insultingly trampling under its [ unhallowed feet the dearest rights of the ! people; and the whole machinery of the I government, which ought to have been our protection, has upheld the oppressor. Every department, except the Judicial, has been dyed in the deepest corruption ever known in the history of any govern? ment. The Legislative became the stronghold of the greatest tricksters, while the Executive became bloated, as it were, with crooked whiskey, and when an outraged and insulted people called for the punishment of the guilty, its chief head becomes a parliceps criminis by using the influence of his sacred office to rob the demands of justice. And when the American people called out for a reform, this same head insultingly assumes to dictate to the people who shall be his successor. Such a cool piece of self-conceit, arrogance and impudence has never been seen, nor will it ever be again outside of a regular satrap or usurper. But the voice of the nation?the people hath spoken, "thus far shalt thou go and no further." Let carpet-baggers, cormo? rants, scalawags, harpies and demagogues of Blaine and Morton's stripe heed the command. Could we have a Senate com? posed of statesmen imbued with a love and glory of country instead of ranting demagogues; a House filled with honest men instead of jobbers and ring corrup tionists, then with Samuel J. Tilden at the helm of the ship of State we might exultingly exclaim, "Sail on proud ship, no wild storms of factions can swerve thee from thy course?the wonder and admi? ration of nations thou mayest yet stand for centuries to come!" J. L. T. Jail Burned.?The jail at Barnwell was burned on Monday morning last about 1 o'clock, supposed to have been fired' by the prisoners confined therein. The late hour at which the fire occurred and the rapid headway it made, rendered all efforts to save it fruitless, and the jail was entirely consumed. The doors were thrown open by the colored jailer, and all the prisoners escaped. "CAUGHT A TARTAR." It will be reccollected that during the canvass a letter appeared in the news papers from Rev. Francis Davie, of Rock Hill, S. C, who was once a slave of Gen. Hampton, pledging his vote and influ ence for his former master in the recent election. This letter was printed throughout the country, and attracted much attention for its straightforward, honest expression. The sequel to this letter is the following correspondence, which explains itself: Nashua, New Hampshire, October 20th, 1876. Rev. Francis Davie, Rock Hill, S. C.: Dear Sir?There is at this time cir? culated in this State the following, which claims to be a copy of a letter from your pen, written to Wade Hampton: "Rock Hill, S. C, 1876. Massa Wade-Seeing that you are nominated for Governor by the white people, and learning that you have promised the black man all the rights he now has, and knowing that you were always good and kind to me when was your slave, and knowing that you are a good and kind man, a man who will do what he promises, I write to say that I will vote for you, and get all the black men I can to do the same. I hav( bought a piece of land in York County, and I am trying to make a support for my family, which I can do if we only had good laws and low taxes. My wife Flora is still living, and we have but one child, who we wish to educate. Please write to me in care of Dr. T. Robertson, Rock Hill, S. C. Your friend and former slave, Francis Davie." I wish you would write at once on re? ceipt of this, as I wish to know your feel? ings regarding the men who formerly bought and sold your flesh and blood, and sometimes even their own. We get so many conflicting reports regarding in? timidation that we know not whom to believe. If there is any I desire to know it, and if not I desire to know that. The Republican papers North claim there is virtually no liberty among your people, and the Democrat papers claim that you have all the rights of your former mas? ters. I desire an answer to this imme? diately, as election is near at hand. What reports do you get from your peo? ple? Write freely: no harm can come to you by it. I am a Republican, and your letter will never be used against you. If j you have peace so far as the white Dem? ocrat at the South is concerned, write me; if the opposite is true, write that. My only desire is to get the true condition South. There is but 17 days before the election, so you will have to answer at once, or I shall not receive it. Truly your friend, OLIVER A. HUTCHISON, Box 1267, Nashua, N. H. I enclose a stamp for reply. Rock Hill, S. C, Nov. 10,1876. Mr. Oliver A. Hutchison, Nashua, N. H. : Dear Sir?I to-day received your let? ter of 20th October. I am sorry I re? ceived it tOT late to answer before the election. The reason I did not receive it sooner, I live some distance from Rock Hill, and have not been at the post office until to-day for some time. I will write even at this late date, and give you a true statement of the condition of our?the col? ored race in this State. It^is true that I am the former slave of Wade Hampton, and I assure you that I was treated kind? ly by him while his servant. He is as good, kind-hearted, honest man as ever lived, and you may rely on what he says as being the truth and nothing but the truth. I have the kindest of feelings for him; voted for him and used all my in? fluence with my race for him, as I think he is the man we need for Governor of South Carolina now, and thank God I have just heard that he has been elected Governor. I know he will do wjiat he says?be the Honest Governor of the whole people. The letter you alluded to was written by me. In regard to rights, we the colored people enjoy all the rights the Constitution of the United States guarantees to us, which is just the same as the white people enjoy, and no intimi? dation whatever. Every colored person speaks out his sentiments freely. All we need here in South Carolina is an honest economical governmont and low taxes. Yours truly, REV. FRANCIS DAVIE. GEN. HAMPTON SPEAKS. Gen. Hampton was serenaded in Co? lumbia on last Friday night, and respon? ded in the following remarks, which show the true greatness of the hero who has been elevated to the highest office in the gift of the people of South Carolina: My Friends: I am exceedingly grati? fied at the kindness which you have shown to me, aud I cannot refrain from making some acknowledgment of it; and not only that, but I wanted to thank the whole people of South Carolina, for having done their work so honestly and well, and without having suffered them? selves to be turned aside by any consid? eration. You have done your whole du? ty, and I now, in the name of the people of South Carolina, congratulate you, and for myself, thank you cordially. I want to say to you, however, that our du? ty is not done yet. I have urged the peo? ple to observe peace and quiet from the beginning, because I wanted to show to the world that we were fighting for some? thing more than party, and under the direction of God himself. I wanted to impress that upon the people of the Uni? ted States particularly, and your conduct has done so. I want you now to preserve the same order that you have observed throughout the campaign, and show these people we were only fighting for the best interests of the State. We can now look back to our victory untarnished by any ignoble act. You have, by your ballots, in spite of fraud and bayonets, declared what your will <has been. We have cer? tainly won the victory, though it may be wrested from our hands. Do not let your? selves be led away by enthusiasm. Try to seek peace and ensure it. Do every? thing for peace, and your redemption is sure. Go to your opponents and say to them, "We are your friends, and not ene? mies I" I say to you now, that I for one have no enemies except the public ene? mies ; I have no ill feelings towards any mau for anything said or done in this canvass, and I now repeat what I have so often said before during the progress of the campaign, that if I. have been elected to occupy yonder scat, I will know r.o party and will try to promote the peace, happiness and prosperity of South Caro? lina. Make yourselves worthy of victo? ry ; show that you are not fighting for party, but your mother land. We liavc made pledges; show that you intend to keep them to the letter, and the blessings which have already commenced to fall upon you, will be increased. I implore you, above all things, to go on as you | have clone, and I have only to say, in conclusion, that whatever may befall, the debt of gratitude under which you have Elaced me can never be erased from my eart. I never can forget all those obli? gations. And now from the bottom of my heart, to you and to the whole people of th??State, I give my most cordial and heartfelt thanks. He then withdrew. FROM LOUISIANA.. Correspondence o/the New York Herald. New Orleans, Nov. 10,1876. The Democratic committee have heard from all the parishes except five and Til den is 6,491 ahead. The remaining parishes gave a Democratic majority in 1874 of 3,500. This secures the State for Tilden by at least 9,000 majority. THE COUNTING OUT PROCESS. Great excitement in the city this even? ing consequent upon a general apprehen? sion that the Republicans have some vio? lent scheme on foot to count out Louisi? ana by the Returning Board. With this exception everything is quiet. GENERAL AUGUR'S ACTION. Your correspondent called on General Augur this evening with a view of ascer? taining his views upon the subject. General Augur states that his orders, re? ceived before the election, embraced special directions to protect the Return? ing Board in the discharge of their duties. In response to a request as to their tenor he declined to show them or give any further information. Up to the present time he has received no orders from Gen? eral Sheridan. He also expressed his in? tention to do all in his power to preserve the peace. ARRIVAL OF GRANT'S ORDER. On returning from military headquar? ters your correspondent found an extra had just been issued containing Grant's order, whereupon he immediately re? turned. Upon entering and showing it to General Augur the latter said it was the first information he had had on the subject, and reiterated his non-reception of any orders in regard thereto. He stated, however, in reply to the inquiry, that if any despatches were manufac? tured to create a disturbance by interfer? ing with the Returning Board, that he would order enough troops here to pro? tect them in making a fair count. AT HEADQUARTERS. It is worthy of remark that whereas headquarters were, as they usually are at night, quiet and almost deserted at the first visit, at the second they presented a scene of the busiest activity. Two opera? tors were at work at the telegraphic in? strument, the desks were occupied, mes? sengers passing to and fro with docu? ments and the evidence of something in the wind of no little importance keenly apparent in the atmosphere. THE RETURNING BOARD. The Returning Board, as now consti? tuted, consists of J. Madison Wells, Sur? veyor of the Port; Thomas Anderson, a candidate for State Senator; two negroes, Casenave and Kenner, and Mr. Arroyo, resigned. According to constitutional provisions the first two are debarred from serving, one being a United States offi? cial, the other a candidate. The Board is elected by the Seuate, and has power to fill any vacancy that may occur during the interval. This leaves the selection of three members of the Board to the two negroes. Wells and Anderson are both out of the city. The former, who the Republicans claim has a right to serve, will arrive here on Saturday evening. The negroes, after a prolonged search, your correspondent was unable to find, nobody appearing to know anything about them. THE MEETING OF THE BOARD. The Board will meet on the 17th, at their office in the State House, when and where the returns will be counted. PRESIDENT GRANT'S ORDER. President Grant's order has excited a deep feeling, which finds its expression more in disgust than in indignation. Everybody seems to have expected it, from their experience of former elections. The expression that the issue is now a national one and that the people of the State are the least interested, is very general. Everything is quiet, and appa? rently no resistance is contemplated to any measures that may be inaugurated. Telegraphic despatches have, however, been sent off to all the Democratic super? visors through the State to protect the tallies and the ballot boxes. Much interest is manifested in the com? ing of Messrs. Thurraan, Bayard, Beck and other prominent Democrats, who are expected to arrive to-morrow. No Ku Kluxing the Elections. One of the parties in Florida sends a report that the other party has '' wrecked a train and Ku Kluxed the election re? turns." The report is probably untrue, but the phrase is well used. It reminds us to tell the politicians of both parties that the people will stand no Ku Klux? ing of election returns this time. They mean to have peace and fair play. If the Democrats have carried Louisiana the people will not allow Governor Kel? logg and Mr. Packard, with a too conve? nient Returning Board, to Ku Klux the vote. They were allowed to do it in 1872, so far as the result had only a local importance; but the Senate refused to admit the Senator elect by their fraud They did it again in 1875, but public opinion forced a Republican Congress to condemn the fraud in the most positive and conspicuous manner by unseating some of the members of the Legislature who were Ku Kluxed in by the Return? ing Board. We beg the New Orleans Republican managers to remember that their previous frauds are well known in the North, and that as men already detected and exposed in Ku Kluxing election returns they have need to be conspicuously fair and upright this time. All their acts and proceedings will be watched with the most jealous eyes by honorable men of both parties in the North, and they should remember that the presumption lies fairly against them, because they have already been detected in the same trick of which they are now suspected. So, too, in South Carolina, we warn the adherents of Governor Chamberlain against attempting to Ku Klux the elec? tion returns. They cannot hope to suc? ceed, for they will be exposed, and their own party in the North will disown j them. It is very well understood here j that the South Carolina election ma? chinery has been constituted in a suspici? ously unfair and partisan manner. Judge Mackey, of the Supreme Court of the State, himself a Hayes Republican, but opposed to corruption, has exposed the manner in which Governor Chamberlain arranged for a count of the vote. There .is a Board of State Canvassers the ma? jority of whose members are candidates for election on the same ticket with Chamberlain, and are thus, by a mons? trous perversion of fair dealing, allowed to canvass and decide upon the votes of the State and declare whether they them? selves are elected; and not only this, but of the ninety-six Commissioners of Elec? tion in the counties seventy are Cham? berlain's declared partisans, and forty are office-holders who hold their places by his appointment. Now, no one ought to be condemned on mere suspicion ; but if we find a man going about on a dark night with a kit of burglar's tools he cannot blame us if we keep our eyes on him ; it is ungener? ous or unjust to regard him with sus? picion and to require him to give a clear account of himself. In Ku Klux times in Arkansas a State law, still on the stat? ute book, authorized any citizen to shoot down any one caught with the mask and I parpahefnalia of a Ku Klux. We do not desire to bring odium upon Messrs. Chamberlain, Packard and Kellog; but we warn them that thoy are known here in the North; the honest men of both parties regard them with just suspicion, and they have need to play not only with common but with very conspicuous fair? ness. If they have carried Loisiana and South Carolina so be it; but they must satisfy the honest and fair-minded men of both parties in the North of that fact, or they will be disowned and execrated by their own party. There must be no Ku Kluxing of the election returns. Whatever unscrupulous politicians might wink at, the main body of the Republican party in the North is honest and patriotic and will tolerate no injustice.?N. Y. Herald. The New York Herald thinks the best disposition to make of Ex-Governor D. H. Chamberlain is to wrap him up in the bloody shirt he has woven in South Car? olina politics and place him forever at rest so far as politics are concerned. The Ex-Governor has disgraced his high office and traduced the people of South Carolina, therefore, it is befitting that he should be consigned to a fate of eternal oblivion so far as future political notorie? ty is concerned. Tilden and Hendricks have received an immense popular vote. Their major? ity will be two or three hundred thou? sand votes, and the Republicans are con? templating counting them out, and by deliberate fraud and tyranny placing Hayes and Wheeler in the positions to which the Democratic nominees have been elected by such a large portion of the Union. If the North submits to such usurpation the day is not distant when this great republic will be ruled by the fiat of a dictator. ?
