There will bo a meeting of the County Executive Committteo of the Democrat? ic party in the Court House at Anderson on Saturday, the 19th instant, at 11 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of receiv? ing and tabulating the result of the pri? mary election, and to attend to such other business as may come before the committee. E. B. MURRAY, Conntv Chairman. The result of the elections in Ohio and Indiana last week has destroyed the prob? ability of Mr. Thurman's nomination for the presidency in 1880, and greatly pro? moted Mr.. Hendricks' chances. Mr. Thurman'* Stat8 went Radical, while Mr. Hendricks' went Democratic. Two months ago Memphis had a pop? ulation of 40,000 inhabitants. It has been reduced until it has to-day less than ? 9,000. Since the first of August there have been nearly three thousand deaths from yellow fever, and every person who could leave the smitten city has done so. It presents the appearance of a terrible financial wreck. v The New York Tribune calls last week's elections "a great Republican victory." If it suits the Radicals the Democrats ought to ')o satisfied. We have gained seven members of Congress and a United ,- States Sen ator. If the Radicals purchase many victories at such a h igh price there will not be a respectable shadow of their party left by the next election year. For the first time in many years the Democrats have a majority of six on joint ballot in the Legislature of Indiana, which secures the continuance of a Dem? ocrat in the United States Senate to fill ' Morton's place, which is at present occu? pied by Senator. Voorhees. ^JThe Demo? crats gain at least two, and probably four, members of Congress, and hence the re isulfc of the late election in that State is a Democratic triumph. Indiana's vote is safe for a Democratic President in 1880. |! Messrs. E. W. Johnson, W. N. McPher son, J. H. Lambert and E. W. Millins, ? of Marion, were nominated for county offices by the Radicals, aid promptly de? clined to run, saying they would not accept If elected. That is the kind of material of which Democrats are made, if they are honest men and sincere in their professions of Democracy. These jfc gentlemen deserve the estimation of our people in a far greater degree than any office the Radicals could give would con? fer on them. The State Treasurer of Missouri has been arrested for speculating with the State's money, and the Radicals point to it as an example of Democratic malfeas? ance in office. So it is; and the result shows the difference between the Demo? cratic party and the Radicals. The Dem? ocrats punish those of their public officers who violate their trusts, while the Radi? cals wait to be turned out of office by the Democrats, who have to prosecute the Radical rogues, or they go unpunished for their crimes. Another solid Republican State has been divided in the next Congressional delegation. Iowa has heretofore given a solid' Republican delegation, but in the late election, although the Republican majority has increased about two thou? sand votes, the Democrats and Green backers have elected two of the Con? gressmen. This does not look very much like solidifying against the solid South. Even the State of Iowa is tired of the bloody shirt as a political argument, and although the State is, as it always has been, hopelessly Republican, still the voters fire not so unanimous as heretofore on national politics. The result in Iowa is not discouraging to Democratic pros? pects._ The Radicals of Eershaw County held a meeting at Camden on the 8th instant, at which several disappointed aspirants for Democratic nominations were present and were assured that they should have the Radical nomination. These men, whoever they may be, are among tho worst enemies of good* government in South Carolina, and should meet the most unmitigated condemnation from every Democrat. Any independent or fnshion combination at this time is meaner and more dangerous than avowed Radicalism. It is simply a profession of the pure prin? ciples of Democracy, which they have not, in order to deceive the people by hiding the iniquity of Radicalism, which they hare. The States which are to hold elections on the 5th of November may be classified as follows: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Car? olina, Tennessee and Texas?11 Demo? cratic. Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Min- I nesota, Nebraska and Nevada?6 Repub? lican. Pennsylvania and Wisconsin? doubtful. The Legislature elected in the following States will electa United States Senator to succeed the persons named on the 4th of next March: Connecticut, William H. Bornum, Democrat; Florida, Simon L. Connover, Republican; Illi? nois, R. J. Oglesby, Republican ; Kun saa, John J. Ingalls, Republican ; Mary? land, George B. Dennis, Democrat; Mis souri, David H. Armstrong, Democrat; Nevada, John H. Jones, Republican; New York, Roscoe Conkling, Republi? can ; North Carolina, Augustus S. Mer rimon, Democrat; Pennsylvania, James Donald Cameron, Republican; South Carolina, John James Patterson, Repub? lican ; Wisconsin, Timothy 0. Howe, Republican, Of these Democrats will be retained where there are Democrats now, and Democrats will certaiuly be elected in the stead of Connover and Patterson, with a chance for one in the place of Conkling, Cameron and Howe. In the Ohio election the Democrats have lost the State officers by abou* ten thousand majority, but they were not important offices, as the Governor aud members of the Legislature were not elected. The triumph of the Republi? cans in the election of these unimport? ant officers was, however, more than made up for by the increased number of Congressmen elected by the Democrats. The delegation in the present Congress from Ohio stands twelve Republicans to eight Democrats. Next time it will stand eleven Democrats tu nine Republi? cans, or perhaps even better than that. This election gives the Democrats one more delegation in Congress should there be a vote by States and secures not only a continued majority of members in the next House, but also gives the Demo? crats a certain majority of one by States. This is a guarantee of the control of both branches of Congress lor the Dem? ocrats during tho next two years, begin? ning on the fourth of next March. While the indication is unfavorable as to the chance of carrying the vote of this State for the Democratic candidates in 1880, still it has assured us of tha means of inaugurating our candidate when the other States elect him. We did not carry the State of Ohio in the last Pres? idential election, and if it was- an as? sured fact that we could carry it in the next elec tion, the prospect would not be a poor one by any means. We really, upon a-fair count, would have had n majority of sixteen votes in the electoral college, and the States which were Dem? ocratic in 1S76 will be so in 1880. Ohio is naturally a Republican State,-and has I not been carried by the Democrats in a Presidential election since the war. j Therefore, while wo were hopeful of a ! victory on the State ticket in the late election, there is nothing in the defeat to dishearten any Democrat. This vote does not foretell the next vote, and if it did, we could still get along without it if we hold our own in other States. Alto? gether, we think the October elections more favorable to tho Democrats than to the Republicans. The Whipping-Post Revived.? One Allen Vaughn, a colored man, who has been living in the neighborhood of Maj. Frierwm's store, and who, by a little way he had of taking things that did not belong to him had gained the reputation of being a notorious thief, was arrested on Tuesday last, by several colored men, who had been the victims of his roguery. He had in his possession, when caught, a shot gun and several articles of clothing belonging to the parties who arrested him. They at once gave him his choice to be carried to jail or take one hundred lashes. He chose the latter punishment. We are told by one who witnessed the whipping, that it wat administered by three stalwart negro men, who took turn? about. They peeled the skin from the poor wretch's back at every lick, he du? ring the time crying and begging for mercy. After the one hundred lashes he agreed to take had been given him, he was untied and told by his colored "bred ren" to "leab de county and nebber set foot back here agin." Half dead with E?ain, his back literally raw from the >lows he had received, with no one to sympathize with or befriend him, the poor devil staggered off down the road to find a home in some other county.? Clarendon Press. Death of Dr. Geddings.?On last Wednesday night, says the Charleston News and Courier, Dr. Eli Geddings, after an illpess of several weeks, breathed his last, adding another name to the loug roll of the illustrious dead, who in their lives have adorned and ennobled medical science. Dr. Geddings was born in 1799, and was consequently in bis 80th year. He was a native of Newberry County, aud was reared on a farm until he was 19 years old, when he studied medicine and practiced au a licentiate for several years; but, when the College of South Carolina was opened in 1824, he came to Charles? ton, and became the first graduate of that institution, having acted during his course as demonstrator of anatomy. He taught on his own account, for several years, a school of anatomy, and then ac? cepted a professorship in a medical col? lege in Baltimore, which he filled accep? tably until, on the death of Dr. Ramsay, he was offered and accepted the chair of surgery in his Alma Mater, and returned to Charleston, where he has ever since resided and enjoyed a largo and lucra? tive practice. He held bis position as professor of surgery for many years, and contributed much to the high reputation of the Medical College of South Carolina. Dr. GeddiDgs was a man of great gene? ral as well as professional learning, was a prominent and useful citizen as well as distinguished physician, and his death will be mourned by the whole communi- j ty, as well as by that large circle to which I be was more nearly connected by the in? timate relations of physician and friend. Two Colored Representatives who were Faithful and True.?A correspondent writing to tho Nexss and Courier from Gillisonville, in this State, on the 9th instant says: Yesterday was the County Treasurer's appointment for tax paying for this vicinity. Our worthy county chairman, Col. James W. Moore, availed himself of the opportunity to further the good cause of Democracy by organizing a mass meeting, which was well attended by citizens of both parties. After a few well-timed remarks by the ! county chairman, stirring speeches were made by Cornelius J. Colcock, Esq., and j C. J. C. Hutaon, one of the nominees of this county for the House. But the chief feature of the occasion was the address of Mr. N. B. Myers, now member of the House from old Beaufort, and known throughout the State as one of the two Republicans who in the hour of our supreme danger had the pluck and moral courage to rise higher than the dictates of party fealty and ally him? self with the Wallace House. It had been intimated to Myers by the Repub? licans that he regretted the course he had taken, and he was refused a hearing at one of their meetings. He therefore, on this occasion, availed himself of the op? portunity offered to define his position. I He delivered an excellent and manly 1 speech, stating emphatically that the step I which he had taken was the proudest act of his life, and that he not only did not regret it, but he would show his loyalty to the cause of good government by voting the entire Democratic ticket in the com? ing election and stumping the county for it. Several Republican lights of the party interrogated him, but were demol? ished by his replies. All honor to Myers and Hamilton! They should never be J forgotten by our people. Alibi, j SOUTH CAROLINA, UNDER HAMP? TON. No 1)1?; i net inn of Race fcr Tarty In Carry? ing on tho Government. In view of the misstitements concern? ing South Carolina aud Governor Hamp? ton, now circulating for campaign pur? poses, the subjoined letter of Capt. Earle, a native Republican, to Senator Conkting will be read with interest. This letter puts Capt. Earle squarely on the record, and his words should count, inasmuch as he has never wavered in his Republican? ism, and was for a number of years as? sistant-district attorney for South Caro? lina: Greenville, S. C, Julv 12,1878. The Hon. Roscoe Conkliny, V. S. Senator, Washington, D. C.: SIR?I have read your Utica interview with the interest which I do everything which emanates from you, and there is one feature in it concerning which I de? sire to address you briefly. I refer to your expression that "justice does not exist, even in name, under Wade Hamp? ton's Government." I do so because I am sure you would not willingly be unjust to an opponent, and because the effect of your comment is prejudicial to a correct understanding at the North of the true state of affairs in South Carolina, and calculated to prejudico yourself in the estimation of both political parties here. It is foreign to my.present purpose to review the campaign of 1876 or to com? ment upon the course of Mr. Hayes be? yond saying that it seems to be the con? viction of all Republicans here that Gov? ernor Hampton has striven ably and earnestly to redeem his oft-repeated pledge to be the "Governor of all the people of South Carolina, irrespective of race or political party." His course has been marked uniformly by the highest conservatism and political sagacity. His opposition has been con? fined to the extremists and agitators of his own party, and by his fairness and impartiality he has created a sentiment sition. In every utterance he has dis? couraged political agitation, and advised the people to work for the restoration of their prostrate material interests, and to invite Northern immigration by the strong guarantees of fair dealing and a just and impartial administration of the laws. Under no administration, save Chamberlain's, have the rights of all the people been so fully and impartially re Sarded and protected, and it is equally ue to both of them to say that whilst Chamberlain had to contend with an ig? norant, sullen and corrupt opposition in his own party, Hampton has for the most part had a strong and cheerful sup? port in his efforts from both his State officers and General Auscmbly. It is not singular that one failed, notwithstanding his earnest and zealous efforts, whilst the other has succeeded. When the preju? dices of an acrimonious campaign have died out, the judgment of impartial ob? servers will do justice to both of them. Of what are known as the "State trials" I do not propose to write at length. Governor Hampton has pardoned Car? penter, and it is understood that he is restrained by their appeals to the Su? preme Court from any action in the cases of Smalls and Cartbzo, and that the lat? ter does not wish a pardon whilst there is a hope of a new trial. It is known, too, that at his personal request the Gen? eral Assembly vested him with power to direct a discontinuance of any of these prosecutions, and in some instance's this power has already been exercised. Judging from things that be has done and from his public utterances there is no doubt that Hampton favors an amnesty almost without exception in all of those political cases, both State and Federal, and it is to be regretted that whilst the General Government lacks nerve to pros? ecute this class of cases it yet keeps them open as so many irritating seatons upon the calendars of its courts. The people of South Carolina have had a plethora of political agitation, and whilst this re? quires no proof, eveu to the casual ob? server, there are few politicians who are willing to risk making the effort, and could succeed in impressing upon the peoplo that their future prosperity must be as a State in the Union, heartily in accord with the sentiment of the nation as to the question settled by the war. After a full investigation of the bonded debt of "-he S'ate by a joint committee of the General Assembly, Governor Hump ton hes earnestly and forcibly urged that the settlement made by the Republicans should be carried out in good faith. As a rule he has made his appointments from his own party, but amongst the ex? ceptions he aas continued in office a col? ored (black) Republican trial justice in this place. Within the past six weeks I havo per? sonally attended the trial of three negroes for killing negroes, of a white man for killing a white man, and of two white men, one of them a constable, for killing a negro, and I was unable to perceive the slightest difference in the conduct of the trials and the administration of the law. I feel assured that you will take pleas? ure in investigating the facts and cor? recting the error into which you have fallen. I have the honor to be, very respect? fully, yours, Miscegenation Prohirited by Vir? ginia Laws.?The Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia has decided an im? portant case, establishing the social status of the negro in Virginia with respect to marriage. Judge Christian delivered the opinion of the court. It was held that a marriage between a negro and white woman domiciled in the State who went into the District of Columbia and were there married and returned to the State, was violative of the statute laws of Vir? ginia, which declares such marriages so celebrated could not be pleaded in bar of criminal prosecution against the parties for lewd and lascivious cohabitation. Such marriage was a mere evasion of the State law, which declares all euch mar? riages absolutely void. The opinion is an elaborate one, reviewing the English and American decisions, and declaring that it is to the interest and proper de? velopment of both races, and in accord? ance with the pronounced public policy of the State, declared in its legislation for more than a century, that marriages between negroes and whites and the in? termingling of the races Hhould be pro? hibited by law. I A Steamuoat on Tugalo River.? A small steamboat with an eight horse Kower engine has been secured by Tilman ',. Gaincs, general agent of the Southern Land and Navigation Company, to be run on the Tugalo and Seneca Rivers in upper South Carolina. The boat only draws two feet water, and is capable of towing many tons on flat boats. It will carry about fifty passengers, and will be used, also, for excursions on the beautiful Seneca and Tugalo, during the summer months. It can be run up the Tugalo to within a few miles of Tallulah Falls. The new town of Fort Madison, on the Air Line Railroad and Tugalo River, will be the central point for this boating bus? iness. The boat will be carried by Mr. Gaines from Augusta, Georgia, up the Savannah River to Fort Madison, a dis? tance of about 120 miles, and is expected to arrive there about the 20th instant. This, if successfully done, will be the beginning of a new era in river naviga? tion in South Carolina.?Spartanbury Daily._ ? Andrew Long, of Oconeo County, lost his life on Saturday, 5th instant, in working a sorghum mill. His head was caughtln the machinery an*1 crushed to pieces. Ha died instantly. ?

Radical Persecctton.?We learn that on Saturday last, at a colored school celebration near Clay Hill, a number of | colored persons who have affiliated with the Democratic party were present.? These colored citizens were set upon by persons of their own color and badly abused for thus presuming to exercise the rights of freemen. The ringleaders of the disturbance were Prince Bigger, William Cho'ate, Jim Wntion and Joe Watson, for whom warrants were issued on Monday, and after a hearing before Trial Justice D. M. Wallace, in default of bail, they were committed to jail on the charge of rioting and assault and battery with intent to kill.? Yorkvillc Enquirer. GENERAL NEWS SUMMARY. ?The population of Memphis when the fever broke out was 40,000. Now it is 2,000 whites and G.000 colored. ? On Monday morning, 30th ult., a difficulty occurred in Messrs. Spears and Colton's More, in Union, between W. Palmer, Jr., and David Johnson, Jr., in which the former was seriously, if not fatally, shot by the latter. ? Mosby, when drawing his first quar? ter's pay as Consul, remarked to the pay? ing teller of the treasury, "This is the second time I hive drawn on the United States for money. The first time was when I pulled up a couple of army pay? masters during the late war." ? A. J. Hinckle, the younger of the two brothers convicted of violating the revenue laws at the recent session of the United States Court at Greenville, died Thursday of typhoid fever. He had been sick for sonic days, and was taken from j jail to a privato house, where he died. ? A letter from New York to one of \ our citizens saya : "Who do you suppose came to beg for some money yesterday to buy food, and this was the second time he had come ? Poor devil I I felt sorry for him in his abject misery, and gave him enoug;h to carry h5m through the day. The fellow was your ex-Governor, Moses. He pretends that he wants to return to South Carolina, but has not the means to return."?Beaufort Tribune. ? Of cotton cloth the United States exported last year 120,000,000 yards, while the amount in 1874.was but 18,000, 000. Employers claim that the earnings of the mill operatives are higher now than in 1SG0, in proportion to the cost of living, and mills are supplying goods at less cost than in that year. Although supplies cost more and cotton the same, greaterskill and economy, with improv? ed machinery, produce theses results. ? The people of the North still con? tinue to send us food, clothing and money. They have not wearied of well? doing. Their committees are still at work and their great dailies are still urg? ing collections for our sick and destitute people. With a generosity unbounded they are piling up measure after meas? ure, each one larger than the other, and all overflowing, even after we have said, "thanks, we have enough and to spare." What can we say ? Words will not tell the sense of gratitude we feel at an ex? hibit of manly perseverance in a good work surpassing anything the world has known before.?Memphis Appeal, Octo? ber 11. ? The Edisto (Orangeburg) Clarion at Saturday last bus the following: "On Monday night ns some raftmen were coming down Black Creek, Lexington County, they noticed the body of a man in the water just below Bambeau's Bridge. On examination in the road near the bridge they noticed where a ve? hicle had come over from the Edgefield side and turned around. Just where it turned a pool o:" blood was found. The tracks of the vehicle were traced six or eight miles up the Edgefield road and then lost. The man's throat was cut. It is to be hoped that the guilty party may be arrested, and meted out the just punishment the foul deed demands. We also learn that the body of another man was found in the Edisto River, just be? low Honey's Bridge. His throat was cut besides having several stabs in the body." ? Along the Railroa-'. from Char? leston to Bonneau, a few days ago, the colored people turned out in droves to see and welcome Gov. Hampton. The men wore red shirts or red flannel belts around the waists, or shoulders, or hat, and the women red tippets, which made them proud to know that they were thus un? mistakably identified with the Democrat? ic party, that too in the presence of Gov. Hampton himself. No such pride and laudable enthusiasme ever actuated their hearts before, no such freedom ever fill? ed their bosoms with an honorablo?a self-approving ambition in the days of their slavish Republicanism, Two of their old political masters, Bowen and Taft, were among the passengers, and witnessed this grand demonstration of freedom and political hope on the part of their recent slaves and tools without a word of comment?with bowed heads and sad hearts. It was to them the fun? eral service of tha stinking Republican corpse. ? Among the thousand and one arti? cles sent to Memphis by the benevolent souls of the country for the relief of the fever sufferers, many are most useless for the people, some of them ludicrously so. Some of these the Memphis Avalanche thus instances: "A sealskin vietoriuc; a dozen double-lined buckskin gloves, tbat would be useful in Alaska ; a dozen or more of benutifnl chemises, handsomely embroidered on the outer edges, at top and bottom; the latter, though bright and clean, evidently second-hand. Some good, pious woman had stripped herself to the bone to give aid ana comfort to our sick, destitute iind dying people. God bless her, say wc. There were boxes of shoes, too, of all sizes, shades and proportions. There were slippers suffi? cient to supply all the ministers whoever flourished on these bluffs." Says the Avalanche: "So much of this stuff is so utterly useless that wc must laugh at the donors' lack of knowledge of our wants, but when we think of the generous spirit that has prompted these liberal dona? tions, we feel more like crying."
