COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
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.?

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

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

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."
