COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
The Democratic Executive Committal
of Anderron County will meet in '.he
INTELLIGENCER room? on to-morrow,
Friday, morning at ll o'clock a. m.
Mat teni of great importance will com?
Deibr?. 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 havo 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 tbe election is over.
Every colored man of the County should
bc induced to join the clubs as soon as
possible, and thus unify our whole people
iu politics. Remember that "the price
of liberty is eternal vigilance," and do
not become negligent after OK glorious
conquest made on thc 7th day of Novem
ber. Keep up tho clubs and strengthen
them from time to time by every possible
exertion which is fair and right, hy
such a course South Carolina will give a
Democratic majority pf 30,000 in the
next elect'on.
WHO 18 GOVERNOR OF SOUTH
CAROLINA ;
There seems to be considerable nnxicty
in the minds of some persons about our
next Governor. If thc people hove had
any voice nt all in this election Wade
Hampton is the man. The reports from
thc boards of managers give Hampton a
majority of 1,40(1 votes, while Tilden runs
about GOO votes behind him. The Radi
cals, cnrpct-baggerH or rogues, whichever
suits them best, are defeated, and no one
knows it any better than they do.
They are so iic-customcd to stealing, how
ever, we will not bc surprised if they
make an attempt to ?teni the Dem?crata
out in the count. Hie very fact that tho
begun Board of State Canvassers is dilly
dallying about oinking tho return, nnd is
trying to usurp more authority than thc
constitution warrants them, satisfies our
mind that Chamberlain is defeated.
When a man gains a victory he makes
haste to inform his friends, mid had
Chamberlain been elected and tho elec
toral vote of South Carolina cast for
Hayes nnd Wheeler the news would have
been confirmed by this ea m o Board long
before this time. But four nf this Board
nre holding an inquest over their own
polit? al demite, consequently it is hurd,
very hard, for them to return a verdict
"dene." How hurd it is for such repro
bates to die. Wo might call upon them
to "tell the truth und shame tho devil"
if we did not believe tho old man waa
alrendy ashamed of them.
TUE RESULT IN THE STATE.
Wo publish below a tabular statement
of tho result of tue recent election, show

the number of Representatives in each
county, and tho party to which they bo

ton over Chamberlain.
Democratic Senators, 15 ; Republican,
18. On joint ballot the Democrats have
79, the Republicans 78-a majority of 1.
The counties of Anderson, Colic ton,
Lancaster and Marlboro, which elected
Democratic Representatives and county
officers this time, havo Republican Sena
tors, who were elected two years ago. and
hold their aeata for two years longer.
Tho County of Colleton gave 1,211 Re
publican majority for State officers, bnt
on account of a split in the Republican
party of the County, the Democratic
majority for county officers was uesr 500,
thus securing a majority in the Legisla
ture by a division of tho Republicans in
this County.

LATEST FROM COLUMBIA.
Sjxcidl Telegrams to the Anderson Inttiligeiieer.
COLUMBIA, NOV. ii.-12 a. m.
Advice:) from Florida and Louisiana
render certain, we think, that tbc Dem
ocrats carried both. Tilden'? vote in
?3outh Carolina is not especially reported
to us. Latest estimate gives his majority
in this State at 600. Th? State Can
vassers are meeting this morning. Con
ner, and other able counsel, ure before
them. The fight now will bc to deny
jurisdiction of tho Hoard as judicial
authority. Radicals threaten to throw
out the vote of Democratic Counties in
cluding Andersou. Troops ordered to
Louisiana and Florida. Prominent citi
zens of Northern States arc invited und
en route to New Orleans to witness thc
counting of thc returns. Others will
come here probably. Hampton this
morning issued an addross to the people
of thanks and congratulation, counselling
the utmost prudence, with forbearance
and magnanimity to opposition, and es
tablishing ourselves an seeking alone thc
restoration of good government.
JAME* A. HOYT.
COLUMBIA, Nov. 14-5 p. m.
The Supreme Court has just issued n
Rule against the State Canvassers, re
quiring then) 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 t'. thc candidates elected according
to t'ic 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
thc 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
is rumored that many Radicals now con
cede Hampton's election. They claim
the balance of thc State officep., and a
majority for Huyes in this State. They
are evidently weakening. Senator Run
dolph, Gen. Gordon, Montgomery Blair
and others are here in behalf of thc
Democrats, and Judge Carter in behalf
of thc Republicans. The Stat?' Can
vassers, nnless restrained by the Supreme
Court, will attempt to throw out ftdgc
field, Buruwcll nod Laurens Counties.
Thc Democrats protest in many Coun
ties, including Charleston, Beaufort and
Georgetown, charging fraud and intii :
tlution. The time of holding thc State
Fair IA postponed to thc fifth of Decem
ber, on account of the polit?c?l excite
ment throughout the State.

There is a fair chance for South Cnro

these States are lost by the Dcu'ccrnts,
Tilden is elected by a clear and fair ma

overwhelming majority of all thc people

oat tao United States ns to the result of
tho eUiction held for President and Vice
President. This anxiety does not arise
from any doubts in tho minds of the
people as to which of thc enndidates
hus received a majority of thc popular
votes, for Tilden and Hendricks have a
majority of near three hundred thousund ;
nor does it arise from any doubt ns to
which of then: is in ti tied to u majority
in tho electoral college. One hundred
und eighty-five electoral votes secures
the election of thc President. Tilden
lins one hundred mid 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.
Tho vote of nny one of these State?, or a
single vote from nny one of them, would
iusuro Tildcu's election. Thut be is to
day thc duly and constitutionally elected
President cannot he doubted by any uu?
prejudiced mind. The anxiety existing
in thc public mind is caused by the lear
of thc people that thc corrupt Canvassing
Hourds of these State? will thwart the
voice of tho people hy throwing enough
Democratic counties or parishes out to
give the Radical State and Federal tick
ets a majority. That the Canvassing
Hoards of these States are vile and cor
rupt enough to do this there is no douht,
and nothing hut the fenr of the over
whelming condemnation of an outruged
people will prevent it. Wc 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 bi be calm but
linn, <pjiet but resolved, with thc assur
rance that the corrupt individuals com
posing the Hoards of Canvas ...s of these
Slates will not bc permitted to foist upon
thc country a President in opposition to
thc declared will of the people of thc
whole country.
THE RESULT.
EDI rous INTELLIGENCER:
That political factions engender strife
und revolution needs no other proof than
that afforded us by history. The bloody
threats of some of the leaders of thc
Republican party indicates that instead
of being a party of great "moral ?dca*,"
it is dwindling down to a faction ; and
the country might have cause fur alarm,
but for tim fact that the American peo
ple know what the threats of a political
bully amount to. Hut at the same time
history is repeating itself in no uncertain
tones tc, our people, and the desperation
of certain lenders may yet bc the means
of raising a turbulent faction. Hut we
have every reason now to believe the
country safe. Thc great fight has been
made; the political armagadnn has been
fought nt thc ballot box, and victory
perches on the banners of the people,
who nrc determined to entrust their lib
erties no longer in thc hands of" eorrup
tionists.
Tho returns from thc different States
show that Samuel J. Tilden, of New
York, has been chosen President of thc

million of votes over his opponent. This
is one of the grandest triumphs ever
known in tho pol?tica! history of any
nation ; nud while but few tintions may
bo capable of self-government, yet this
mighty people aro not ready to give up
tho 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 miro of corruption, nor aro 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 blinding in tho "outrage
mill" baa failed to produco shackles
enough to bind ou- people, and nobly
have they asserted their manhood. Du
ring tho past fifteen years the people
have wandered far in the desert, follow
ing malignan. Icadets ; becoming weary,
they cost their oyes back ove." tho way,
and in tho distance they beheld th?? rori.

government is founded, while fields of
prosperity beckoned them back. With

J J ?*?*?J ? -.. "~ mw**-o-i
upon the rock they have planted them
selves, and well may aomo of tho Repub
lican leaders gnash their teeth in rage.
Constitutional usurpation hos marked
the course of tho Republican party from
ita inception. Under its rule political
license had become so great that tho dir
tiest puppy in its ranks made no hesitan
cy in insultingly trampling under its
unhallowed feet tho dearest rights of tho
people; and tho whole machinery of tue
government, which ought to have been
our protection, has upheld tho oppressor.
Every department, except the Judicial,
has been dyed in tho deepest corruption
ever known in tho history of nny govern
ment. Tho Legislative became tho
stronghold of tho greatest tricksters,
while the Executive became bloated, as
it were, with crooked whiskey, and when
an outraged and insulted people called
for tho punishment of the guilty, its
chief head becomes a pariieep? crimin?
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 samo head insultingly
assumes to dictate to tho peopio who
?ball Ivo biasnccpaanr Soi-bncnol nineo of
self-conceit, arrogance and impudence hus
never beon seen, nor will it ever be agnin
outside of a regular satrap or usurper.
Rut the voico of tho nation-tho people
beth spoken, "thus far shalt thou go and
no further." Let carpct-buj-gors, cormo
rants, scalawags, harpies and demagogues
of Blaine and Morton's stripe heed tho
command. Could wo have a Senate com
posed of statesmen imbued with a love
and glory of country instead of rautiug
demagogues; a House filled with honest
men instead of jobber? and ring corru p
tiouista,. then with Samuel J. Tilden at
the helm of the ship of State we might
exultingly exclaim, ''Sail on proud ship,
no wild atorms of factions can swerve thee
from thy course-tho wonder nnd admi

for centuries to como I"

Jin-. Fraud* Davie, Hork Hill;S. C. :
DEAR SIK-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., 187d. Massa Wade-Seeing
that you are nominated for Governor by
thc white people, and learning that you
have promised the bia- k man all thc
rights he now has, and knowing that you
were always good and kind to me when I

will do what he promises, I write to say
that I will vote for you mid get all the
black men I can to do the same. I have
bought a piece of laud in York County,

my family, which I can do if we only had
good laws and low taxes. My wife Flora
is still living, and we haw hue one child,
who we wish to educate. Please write to
me in care of Or. T. Robertson, Rock

J- RAN*''iK DAVIE."
I wish you wouhi write at once on re
ceipt ol this, as I wish to know your feel
ings regarding the men who formerly
bought and sold your Mesh and blood,
ami sometimes even their own. We get
so many conflicting reports regarding in
timidation .nat wc know not whom to
believe. If there is <iny I desire to know
it, and if not I desire to know that. The
Republican pupers 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
yon by it. I am a Republican, and your
letter will never he used against you. If
you have peace so fur ns the white Dem

me; if thc opposite is true, write that.
My only desire ?s ti get thc true, condition

DEAR SIR-I to-day received your let
ter of 20th October. I am sorry I re
ceived it too late to answer before the
election. Tilt reason I did not receive it
sooner, I live some distance from Rock
JTill mid have not been Rt tho yost office
until to-day for some time. I will write
even at this late date, and give you atnie
statement of tho condition of our-thc col

uui thc former slave of Wade Hampton,
and I ussuro you that I was treated kind
ly by bim while his servant. Ile is as
good, kind-henrted, honest man as ever
lived, and you may rely on what ho ?ays
as being thc truth and nothing bul thc

him; voted for bim and used all my in

he is the man wo need for Governor of

we the colored people enjoy all thc rights

GEN. HAMPTON SPEAKS.
Gen. Hampton wai serenaded in Co
lumbia on last Friday night, and respon

the truo greatness of the hero who has
been elevated to the highest office in thc
gift of the people of South Carolina :
My fYiends : I am oxceedingly grati
fied at the kindness which you have
shown to mo, and I cannot refrain from
nicking somo acknowledgment of it;
and not only thnt, 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 uy any consid
eration. You have dono your whole du
ty, and I now, in the namo of the people
of South Carolina, congrat?late you,
and for myself, thank you cordial);- I
want to say to you, however, that our du
ty is not dono yet. I have urged the peo
Eic to observe peace and quiet from tho
eginning, becnuso I wanted to show io
tho world that wo wore fighting (or some
thing more than party, and under the
direction of God himself. I wanted to
impress that upon thc people of thc Uni
iea oir.u- > particularly, and your conduct
hos done so. I want you now to preservo
the same order that you have observed
throughout thc campnign, and show these
people wo were only fighting for tho beat
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 toon the victory, though it may be
wrested from our hands. Do not let your
selves bo 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 aro your friends, and not ene
mies !" I say to you now, that I for ono
have no enemies) except the publie ono
mies ; I have no ill feelinga towards any
man 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 thrive been elected
to occupy yonder coat, I will knuw co
Karly and will try to promote the peace,
appiness and prosperity of South Caro
lina. Make yourselves wmrtliyof victo
ry ; show that you are not fighting for
party, but your mother laud. We have
made pledges ; show that you Intend to
keep them to the letter, and the blessings
which have already commenced to fail
upon you, will be increased. ? I implore
you, above all things, to go on os yon
Lave doii<\ and I have only lo fay, in
conclusion,, that whatever mav befall, thc ;
fleht ?f gratitude under which you have
placed me can never bc craned from iny
heart. I never can forget all those obli
gation-. And now from the bottom of
my heart, to you and to the whole people

Tin; Democratic committee have heard
from all the pur'ahes except live and Til

parishes gave a Democratic majority in
1X7-1 of 3,500. This secures the State for

THE COUNTING Ol'T PROCESS,
(treat excitement in the city this even
ing consequent upon a general apprehen
sion that the Republicans have sonic vio
lent scheme on loot to count out Louisi
ana by the Returning Hoard. With this
exception everything is quiet.
OB* 2RAL 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
limo he has received no orders from Gen
eral Sheridan. He also expressed his in
tention to do ail in his power to preserve
the peace.
A Ititi VA I, OK <? It A NT's ORDER.
On return' ? from military headquar
ters vour correspondent found an extra
had just been issued containing Grout's
order, whereupon bc 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 u disturbance liv interfer
ing with the Returning Hoard, that he
would order enough troops here to pro
tect them in making a fair count.
AT HEADQUAlt" "U.S.
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
weene of the busiest activity. Two opera
tors were at work at the telegraphic in
strument, the desks were occupied, mes
sengers passing to ami fro with docu
ments and th?: evidence of .something in
the wind of no little importance keenly
apparent in thc atmosphere.
THE RETURNING HOARD.
Thc Returning Hoard, as now consti
tuted, consists of J. Madison Wells, Sur
veyor of the Port ; Thomas Anderson, a
candidate for State Senator ; two negroes,
Cascnave 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. Thc Hoard
is elected by the Senate, and has power
to till any vacancy that may occur during
the interval. This leaves the selection of
three members of thc Hoard to the two
negroes. Wella and Anderson are both

Republicans claim hus a right to serve,
will arrive here on Saturday evening.

your correspondent was unable to find,
nobody appearing to know anything
about them.
THE MEETING OE THE BOARD.
Thc Board will meet on thc 17th, at
their oflice in thc State House, when and
where the returns will be counted.
^KKSlUliNT GRANT'S UKUEK.
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.
Thc expression that the issue is nowa
national one and that the people of tho
State are the least interested, is very
general. Everything is quiet, and appa
rently no resistance is contemplated to
any measures that may bc 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. Thurman, Bayard, Heck
and other prominent Democrats, who aro
expected to arrive to-morrow.
No Kn Kluxiug the Elections.
One of thc parties in Florida sends a
report that tho 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 politiciaus of both parties
that thc people will stand no Ku Klux
iug of election returns this time. They
mean to have pence nnd fuir plav. 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 os the result had only a local
importance ; but tho 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 tho most positive
and conspicuous manner by unseating
some of tno 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 return.-; 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 tho
North, and they should remember that
tho presumption lies fnirly nguinst them,
because they have already been detected
in the same trick of which they are now
suspected.
So, too, in South Carolina, we warn tho
adherents of Governor Chamberlain
agninst nttempting to Ku Klux the elec
tion returns. They cannot hopo to suc
ceed, for they will bo exposed, and their
own party in tho North will disown
them. It is very well understood hero
that tho South Carolina election ma
chinery has been constituted in a suspici
ously unfair and partisan manner. Judge
Mackey, of the Supreme Court of tho
State, himself a Hayes Republican, br.t
opposed to corruption, has exposed thc
manner in which Governor Chamberlain
arranged for u count of the vote. There
is a Board of State Canvassers the ma
jority of whose members arc candidates
for election on the eamo ticket with
Chamberlain, and are thus, Ly a mons
trous perversion of fail dealing, allowed
to canvass and decide upon the votes of
thc Suite and, declare whether they them?
selves aro elected ; and not onl r this, but
ol the ninety-six Commissioners of Elec
tion in the cou ities seventy aro Cham
berlain's declared partisans, nnd fony
aro office-holders who hold their places
by his appointment.
Now, no one ought to bo condemned
on mero suspicion ; but if wo find a man
going nbont'on a dark night with a kit
of burglar's tools ho cannot binnie us if
WC keep our eyes on him ; it is ungencr
ons^ or unjust to regard him with sus
picion and to require him tc. give a clear
account of himself. In Ku Klux times
in Arkansas a State law, still on the mat
ute book, authorized any cHhtca to shoot
down any one caught with the mask and
pnrpnhcfnalin of n Ku Klux. We do
not desire to bring odium upon messrs.
Chamberlain, Panard and Kellog; but
we warn them that they are known here
in tho North ; tho honest mon of both
partied regard them with just suspicion,
and tlicy nave need to play not only with
com moo ho? with' very conspicuous fair
ness. If thev hnve carried Loisiaua ami
South Carolina so bc it ; but they must
satisfy tho honest and fair-mi.idea men
of both partier in thc North of thal fact,
or they will be disowned and executed
by their own party. There must bc no
Ku Kluxiug of thc election returns.
Whatever unscrupulous politician!! might
wink at, thc main body of the Republican
party in the North is honest and patriotic
and will tolerate no injustice.- .Y. Y.
Herald.
The New York Herald thinks the best
disposition to malic of Ex-Goveruor 1).
II. Chamberlain is to wrap him tip in the
bloody aliirt he has woven in .South Car
olina polities and place him forever at
rest so far as politics are concerned.
Thc Ex-Governor has disgraced hid high
office and traduced the people of South
Carolina, therefore it is befitting that he
should bc 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 bo 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 thc Democratic nominees have
been elected by such a largo portion of
thc Union. If the North submits to such
usurpation the day is not distant when
this great republic will be ruled hy the fiat
of it dictator.
- To spin, to weave, to knit and to
sew, was once n girl's employment; hut
now to dress and catch a beau is all she
calls enjoyment.
