E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 18, 1677. Governor Hampton passed up the G. & C. R. R to the Greenville County Fair on Monday Iftsfc for the purpose of deliv? ering an address there on Tuesday. His presence was no doubt a very great ad? dition to the attendance at and interest in the agricultural exhibition. Hon. Edwards Pierrepont, United States Minister to Great Britain, has tendered his resignation, to take effect on the 1st of December. - This is the greatest act of his life, and for it he de? serves the heartfelt thanks of the Nation, for it is the one deed which he has done for his country's good. Parker is back in South Carolina. Carry the news to Chamberlain, for there is very little donbt that he will also have to come back soon. Won't Chamberlain, Parker, Cardozo, Patterson and others of that ilk present an inter? esting spectacle to the people of South Carolina when the Courts get through with them. * Maxwell, the colored Senator from Marlboro, who resigned his seat in the Senate after the Investigating Committee paid their attentions to him, was released from jail last Saturday upon entering into bond in the sum of three thousand dollars, with bis wife as bis only surety. What this can mean we are at a loss to comprehend, unless it is another State's witness. The State of Iowa went Republican on the 9th inst by about thirty thousand majority. This is as was expected, and does not change anything. This State has been Republican ever since the war, and its people will continue to vote the Republican ticket if the party shonld be? come a thousand times as corrupt as it now is. Indeed, we believe that the more corrupt it grows the better they like it. Nilcs G. Parker, ex-State Treasurer of South Carolina was arrested in Jersey City, on the 13th inst., upon a requisition from Governor Hampton, and was brought by steamer to this State on the day following. He is charged with plundering the State, and says he is wil? ling to turn State's evidence. He is rather swift in making this offer, as he has not restored the property he has stolen from the State. We do not suppose be will be allowed to escape so lightly, unless he makes a. return of his ill gotten gains to the public treasury of South Carolina, from whence he ab? stracted them. A serious riot has been prevailing in the border counties of Texas for some days past, between the Mexican citizens of that section and the natives, which has assumed snch immense proportions as to induce the call for United States troops to suppress the lawlessness and violence of the contending factions. The State government has shown very great lack of nerve and decision in not attending to their own troubles. It is a pretty confession for a great State like Texas to make to the world, that it has to have the assistance of the United States to suppress a riot in El Paso County. The Americans in this County have been compelled to flee to the town for safety. The Federal soldiers are, however, to be there in a,few days, and order will doubtless be speedily restored. The Russo-Turkish war is dragging on slowly. Several minor engagements have been fought, but the position of affairs is virtually unchanged. There is every probability now of a very long war, which will severely tax the resources of both Nations. The Russian army may go into winter quarters very soon now, or the Czar may decide upon a winter cam? paign. This latter course is more proba? ble, as the Russians are subject to a much colder climate than that of Tur? key, and would therefore be able to stand the hardships of a Turkish winter better than the Turks themselves. There is no prospect of a speedy termination of the war, and no immediate probability of interference from any other power. The atrocities of the war, though somewhat decreased, are still shocking in the high? est degree, and if society is benefitted at all by the result of this struggle it will be the good which can be wrought by the most fearful evils. The Investigating Committee have at last caught Beverly Nash, the colored Senator from Richland, in such frauds as to justify his arrest Beverly at once re? signed his seat as Senator, and restituted six thousand dollars of money, which he had obtained unfairly from the State. This is all that can be made out of him, we are told, as the balance of his fraud? ulent earnings has been made over in his wife's name. He is to be allowed to escape any further punishment, in con? sideration of turning State's evidence. The Committee no doubt know what they are about, but we are afraid they are too lenient with the public culprits, or in other words, that they are getting too many State's witnesses. Moses, Wood? ruff, Jones, Maxwell, Nash and Parker, will embrace quite a formidable array of the official rascals, and the number seems rather larger to us than there is any use for. We want to see some of these men put out of the reach of politics for a term of years. mm THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. The elections in France on last Sun? day, resulted in a manificent victory for the advocates of Republican government in France. The representatives favora? ble to McMahon, the President will be in a hopeless minority, and this election is a direct censure upon the government from the people of France. The result will probably stand, Republicans 320, Conservatives 210. This renders the ex? istence of the republic more certain than it has been for some time and in 1880 the republic of France will keep the United States company in changing the politics as well as the individuals who occupy their presidential chairs. Gambetta has been returned to the Chamber of Depu? ties, and is to-day the most influential man in France. THE OHIO ELECTION. The election for Governor and other State officers came oft* Itt Ohio on Tues? day, the 9th init?> ahd resulted in a mag? nificent victory for the Democracy. The official count has not yet been received, but it is certain that Bishop, the Demo? cratic candidate for Governor, has been elected by twenty-five thousand majority, and that the Democrats will have a ma? jority in both the State Senate and House of Representatives, with a majority of from thirty to forty ort joint ballot. This is a very great change to be wrought in one year within this State. Its majority for Piesident Hayes was about ten thou? sand, and the Senate and House of Rep resentatives were largely Republican. Indeed, the State has uniformly gone Republican sihce President Hayes de? feated ex-Governor Win. Allen for Gov? ernor on the inflation question in 1875. The result of the contest this year has added another powerful State to the gal? axy of the Democracy, and secures the selection of a Democrat to succeed Stan? ley Matthews in the United States Senate on the fourth of March next. It renders the prospect of any disintegration of the Democratic party before the next Presi? dential canvass impossible, and it ensures the selection and inauguration of a Dem? ocratic President in 1880. Several causes operated to secure a victory for the Democracy in this State at this time, and foremost among these was the general public indignation at the Republican party for the great political fraud and crime it perpetrated last year in counting the votes of Louisiana and Florida. The country realizes the fact that a party so devoid of principle as to perpetuate itself in power against the expressed wishes of the people cannot with safety be trusted. The people of the United States who love liberty insist, and willever insist, that the men who are elected shall be inaugurated, and any party which attempts to set at defiance this great principle of public right will be spurned by freemen, and crushed by the weight of its own iniquity. Another cause leading to this Republi? can defeat rests in the fact that the country does not approve the bungling and partial financial course of the Re? publican party. The resumption act is seen to be clearly and exclusively in the interest of the large capitalists and mon? eyed corporations of the North. The de? monetization of silver, by the refusal to coin the "dollar of our fathers," is known to be in the interest of the national bond? holders alone, and the vote in Ohio is a censure from that State upon the finan? cial policy of the Republican party. The result of this will in all probability be either to cause the repeal of the act fix? ing the 1st of January 1879 as the date for the resumption of specie payments, or to cause the renewal of the coinage of silver dollars with which to pay debts after the period for resumption has ar? rived. The vote in Ohio means that the people demand a paper currency or an issue of silver for the payment of debts. Another cause of the Republican de? feat was the disaffection within the ranks of the Republican party. A great many Republicans in Ohio are so bitter towards the South that they would not vote the Republican ticket because of the Presi? dent's conciliatory and just Southern policy. This class, however, did not amount to very many, we presume, for the policy of Mr. Hayes tends to induce people to forget the iniquities of the party which inaugurated him, and there? fore we have no doubt that the Republi? cans of Ohio gained more votes than they lost by the so-called Southern policy. The foregoing were the principal causes of defeat to the Republicans of Ohio. President Hayes' own State has left his party by an overwhelming majority, and Republicanism had as well read the hand? writing on the wall. As a party it is bound to die in a very short time, for the House is already Democratic aud the Senate soon will be so. The President is not in sympathy with the leaders of his party, and will not, we believe, lend himself to carrying out the corrupt prac? tices by which the party has lived. He is at variance with his party North and West upon his Southern policy, or his civil service reform, or both, and is to-day dependent upon the Democrats in Con? gress for his support. The result of this will be beneficial to the reputation of Mr. Hayes in history, and it is a blessing to the country, but it is death, death, death to Republicanism forever. As an indication of the justice which the present administration intends to ex? ercise towards the South, it is just to quote the following appropriations which are asked of Congress to be expended in the Southern ports named: Fort Moul trie, S. C, $50,000; Fort Sumter, S. C, $40,000; Fort Pulaski, Ga., $75,000; Fort Jackson, Ga., $8,000; Fort Taylor and Batteries, Fla., $75,000, Fort Jeffer? son, Fla., $25,000; Fort Pickens, Fla., $75,000; Fort McKee, Fla., $50,000; Im? proving French Broad River, $10,000; Savannah Harbor, Ga., $200,000; Inside Sassage between Fernandina and St. ohn's River, Fla., $50,000 ; Cedar Keys Harbor, Fla., $50,000; Cape Fear River, N. C, $17,500. No appropriation is asked for Charleston Harbor. The Cry of Repudiation. From the Sumter Southron. There is a spirit manifested on the part of some to repudiate the public debt of the State of South Carolina, and to that class we belong, for the following cogent reasons: 1st The debt of the State is simply enormous, and created by a government whose every act is honeycombed with frauds. 2d. This enormous debt was illegally contracted by the Radical party in order to enable it to carry out its measures of fraud and villainy. 3d. Because we have all the way through warned the world of the corrupt character of the government of South Carolina. 4th. The world knows that the Radi? cal government of this State was made up of thieves and plunderers, and those who loaned money to such a government as that, knowing it to be corrupt, deserve no pity or pay from anybody. 5th. It is manifestly unjust for apeo-' pie to be forced to pay an illegal debt, and one, too, for which they have never got value received. 6th. To refuse to pay a fraudulent debt would injure no people's credit, but, on the contrary, it would make them better able to meet their honest obliga? tions. For the above reasons we favor repu? diation of the greater part of the public debt of the State of South Carolina. *HE OF C?XGRESS. Congress convened in extra session at Washington on last Monday, and as this is the first session of the body elected last fall, the first business before it was organization. Clerk Adams, of the former Congress, called the roll of dele? gates, recognizing those having certifi? cates from Governor Nichols, in Loui? siana. Objections to the roll were made by the Republicans, but Were voted doWh by the Democrats, and an election for officers was proceeded with. The Democrats had nominated Hon. Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, in caucus for Speaker, and the Republican caucus had nominated Gen. Garfield. of Ohio. These were the only candidates for the position, and the vote when taken stood : Randali, 149; Garfield, 132. Speaker Randall, on taking the chair, made the following temperate and sensi? ble address: Gentlemen of the House of Rep? resentatives : Elevated for the second time by your generosity, to the dignity of Speaker of this House, I thank you with a grateful heart. I shall endeavor, with even temper and rigid firmness, to perform the duties of the office, and re? spond adequately to the confidence re? posed in me, by conforming my action to the clearly expressed will of the House. Yet, fully "realizing the delicacy anddiffi* culty of the position, I solicit your ad? vice and assistance, feeling sure of your forbearance and indulgence. We meet under circumstances imperiously de? manding that all considerations of class, section and party shall be subordinated to the loftier and more patriotic object of doing what is best for the whole country and all its people. Since the adjournment, an administra? tion has been inducted into office which is obeyed as the actual government, re? gardless of the grave events which mark? ed its birth, and this House, animated by a spirit of true patriotism, desiring first the public tranquility, under the law, will frankly approve any sincere and permanent policy looking to complete pacification and the advancement of all constitutional methods for the general public welfare, and it should be your sacred duty to provide legislation which will render impossible a repetition of the wrongs which have occurred and of the dangers which threatened us. I assume you will take no step back? ward in the work of retrenchment and reform, so auspiciously begun by the last House under a mature and definite plan of reduction of the expenses of the gov? ernment. It is certain that a still greater reduction can be made without impair? ing the efficiency of the administration. To have an honest administration, it should be frugal. Never before was it more urgent than now. With general financial distress and labor depressed, when the iron rule of hard necessity darkens every house in the land, extrav? agance on the part of the peoples servants would be an unpardonable crime. It is partly because this wholesome policy was so faithfully carried out that I am per? mitted to speak from this place. Invoking for our deliberations toler? ance of opinion, which secures harmo? nious action, right and clear judgment, which purifies legislation, and hoping that mutual confidence and respect will subsist between the House and its presi? ding officer, I am now ready to take the oath prescribed by law. He then took the iron-clad oath. All the members present were sworn in except Cain and Rainey from South Carolina; Darrel, Elam and Robertson of Louisiana, and Pacheco, of California, who were objected to, and requested to stand aside. The House will, under any circumstances, have a Democratic ma? jority of at least fifteen. Its organiza? tion was completed by the election, in one resolution, of George M. Adams, of Kentucky, as Clerk; John G. Thompson, of Ohio, as Sergeant-at-Arms; John W. Polk, of Missouri, as Doorkeeper; James M. Stewart, of Virginia, as Postmaster, and Rev. Dr. John Poisset, of Maryland, as Chaplain. The Senate was organized last March, and therefore pending the organization of the House, no business was transacted by it. The Republicans have been cau cussing as to the course to pursue in the cases of Butler, from this State, and the Democratic Senators from Louisiana. It is probable they will be admitted upon a split Republican vote. The first fight upon President Hayes' Southern policy and civil service reform will be made in the Senate over the confirmation of his Federal appointments. Such of these as are fair men will no doubt be con? firmed by the Democratic vote, combined with a portion of the Republicans; but wherever the Dc nocrats are disposed to reject, there is very little doubt that they will be able to succeed. This session will no doubt be one of the most inter? esting ever held, and will do much to settle the aspect of the next canvass for the Presidency. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. The Document to be Confined to the Deficiency Appropriation Bills. President Hayes has begun work on his special message, to be presented at the extra session. The message will be very brief, and will deal mainly with the deficiencies in the several executive de? partments. The largest deficiency is, of course, in the War Department. The President will urge the immediate pas? sage of the army appropriation bill, and, it is understood, will recommend an in? crease of the army, which will necessitate an increased appropriation. There is also a deficiency in the appropriation for the pay of naval officers, which the Pres? ident will ask Congress to make good. There is strong probability that this defi? ciency will cause a sharp debate and an investigation, as the usual amount was appropriated and would doubtless have been sufficient if Robeson bad not used the funds for some other purpose. In regard to this deficiency, Secretary Thompson will submit a simple state? ment of the facts, giving the amount of this appropriation on hand when he took charge of the Navy Departmen' and an he has, going to show for what tne ap? propriation had been previously ex? pended. The Department of Justice will report a deficiency of about $250,000, which the President will ask Congress to make good. He will also ask for an ap? propriation of about $15,000 for the In? terior Department to meet the expenses incidental to the recent fire in the Patent Office. This amount is for expenses al? ready contracted or necessary to con? tract, and is exclusive of a large sum which will be needed to rebuild the Patent Office, and which will not be asked for until the regular session. Be? sides the recommendations incident to the deficiency hill, the President will re? commend that Congress take such action as will insure a suitable representation of the United States at the Paris exhibi? tion. The labor question, Southern pol? icy, views of civil service and questions of finance will all be left for the regular annual message in December. exhibit of whatever vouchers and BUCKWHEAT FLOUR.
