There will bo a meeting of tho County Executivo Committteo of tho Democrat ic party in tho Court House at Anderson on Saturday, the 19th instant, at ll 1 o'clock a. m., for tho purpose of receiv ing and tabulating tho result of tho pri mary election, and to attend to such other business as may come beforo tho committee. E. B. MURRAY, County Chairman. The result of tho elections in Ohio and Indiana last week has destroyed tho prob ability of Mr. Thurman's nomination for the presidency in 1880, and greatly pro moted Mr. Hendricks' chances. Mr. Thurman's State went Radical, whilo Mr. Hendricks' went Democratic. Two months ago Memphis had a pop ulation of 40,000 inhabitants. It has been reduced until it bas 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 leavo the smitten city bas dono so. It presents tho appearance of a terrible financial wreck. The New York Tribune calls last week's elections "a great Republican victory." If it suits the Radicals tho Democrats ought to bo satisfied. Wo havo gained aoven members of Congress and a United States Senator. If the Radient? purchase many victories at such n high price there will not bo a respectable shadow of their party loft by tho next election year. For tho first timo in many years tho Democrats have a majority of six on joint ballot in the Legislature of Indiana, which secures tho continuance of a Dem ocrat in ino United Slates Senate to xiii Morton's placo, which is at present occu pied by Senator. Voorhees. JTho Demo crats gain at least t-o, and probably four, members of Congress, and hence the ro j suit of tho lato election in that State is a Democratic triumph. Indiana's voto is sa?"- for a Democratic President in 1880. Mesare. E. W. Johnson, W. N. McPher son, J. H. Lambert and E. W. Millins, of Marion, wcro nominated for county offices by the Radicals, and promptly de clined to ruo, saying they reuld not accept if elec'.t .\. That ls tho kind of material of Which Democrats aro made, if they aro honest men and sincero in their professions of Democrnoy. These ti gentlemen deserve the estimation of our people in a far greater degree than any olfico the Radicals could feive would con fer on them. The State Treasure? cf Missouri has ' been arrested for speculating with Mio State's money, and the Radicals point to it as an example of Democratic malfeas ance in office So it is; and tho result shows the difference between tho Demo cratic party and the Radicals. The Dem ocrats punish those of thoir public officers who violate their , trusts, whilo the Radi cals wait to bc turned out of offico by the Democrats, who have to prosecuto 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, tho Democrats and Green backers have elected.two of the Con gressmen. This does not look very much like solidifying against tho solid South. Even the State of Iowa is tired of tho bloody shirt aa ft political argument, and although the State is, aa lt alway* hos been, hopelessly Republican, still the voters are not so unanimous BS heretofore on national politics. The result in Iowa ls not discouraging to Democratic pros pacts. _ The Radicals of Kershaw County held it_Al_i r\_J-.L. ?_....'.! .? unuMuj w vaaiudii wu mia otu luotmit, at which several disappointed aspirants for Democratic nominations were present and wera assured that they should hav? tho Radical nomination. These men, whoever they may be, are among tho worst enemies of good' government ia Sooth Carolina, nod should meet tho most unmitigated condemnation from every Democrat. Any independen? or fush.on combination at th!: time is meaner find ajor? d?i?gc?o?? iuBu avoweu 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 tho iniquity of Radicalism, which they have. The States Which are to hold elections on tho 5th of November may bo classified as follows: , CoaDocticu?, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Car olina, Tennessee And Texas--ll Demo cratic. Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Min nesota, Nebraska and Novada-6 Repub lican. Pennsylvania find Wisconsin doubtful. The Legislature elected in the following States will electa United States OTumuTtv succeed tho persons named on tho 4th of next March: Connecticut, William H. j>?jr??u), Dsui??r?o : Flor IM?, Simon B. Connoyet, Republican; Illi nois, R. J. Otflcsby, Republican ; Xnn -?fl. Jiih? J. ImrslhL RenUbHcan : Marv scuri, David H. Armstrong, Dcuiocrnt ; Nevada, John H. Jone?, Republican; New York, Roscoo Conkling, Republi can ; North Carolina, Augustus fi. Mer riinon, Democrat; Pennsylvania, Jame? Douald Cameron, Republican { South Carolina, John James Patterson, Repub lican ; Wisconsin, Timothy O. Howe, Republican. Of these Democrats will Ito retained whero tlicro arc Democrats now, and Democrats will certainly he elected in i?ie stead of Connover and Patterson, with a chance for one in the place of Conkling, Cameron and Howe. In tho Ohio election the Democrats have lost the State officers by about ten thousand mrjority, hut they were not important offices, as the Governor and members of the Legislature were not elected. The triumph of tho Republi cans in tho eb: .(ion of theso unimport ant officers wa. however, more than made up for by ii h increased number of Congressmen elected by the Democrats. Thc delegation in the present Cong ess from Ohio stands twelve Republicans to eight Democrats. Next ti mo it will stand eleven Democrats to nine Republi cans, or perhaps <-"cn better than that. This election give- the Democrats one moro delegation in Congress should there bea vote by States and secures not only a continued majority of members in tho next House, but also gives thc Demo crats a certain majority of one hy States. This is a guarantee of tho control of both branches of Congress lor tho Dem ?crata during tho next two years, begin ning on tho fourth of next March. Whilo tlie indication is unfavorable as to the "liance o. carrying tho vote of this Suite for the Democratic candidates in 17<80, still it has assured us of thu mc:ins of inaugurating our candidate when tho other States olect him. We did not carry the State of Ohio in the last Pres idential election, and if it was an ns surud fact that we could carry it in thc next election, thc prospect would not ho a poor ono hy any means. We really, upon a fair count, would have had a majority of sixteen votes in tho electoral collego, and the States which were Dem ocratic in 1876 will bo so in 1880. Ohio is naturally a Republican State, and has uot been earrie-' by tho Democrats iu a Presidential election sinco tho war. Tborofore, while wo were hopeful of a victory on the State ticket in thc late election, thcro is nothing iu tho defeat to dishearten any Democrat. This volo does not foretell tho next vote, and if it did, wc could still get along without it if we hold our own in other States. Alto gether, wo think the October elections moro favorable to tho Democruts than to the Republicans. THE WHIPPING-POST REVIVED. Ono Allon Vaughn, a colored man, who has been living in tho neighborhood nf Maj. Frit-r.ion's store, and wno. by a little way ho bad of taking things tnat did not belong to him had gained thc reputation of being a notorious thief, was arrested on Tuesday last, by several colored men, who had been tho victims of his roguery. Ho had in his possession, when caught, a shot gun and several articles of clothing belonging to the parties who arresten him. They ut ouco gave him his choice to bo carried to jail or take ono hundred lashes. He chose tho latter punishment. We aro told by ono who witnessed tho whipping, that it wa? administered by threo stalwart negro men, who took turn about. They peeled the akin from the poor wretch's back at every lick, ho du ring tho time crying and begging for mercy. After tho ono hundred lashes he agreed to take had been given him, he was untied and told hy his colored "bred re n" to "leah de county and nobber set foot back hero agin." Half dead with Cain, Iiis back literally raw from thc lows he had received, with no one to sympathize with or befriend bim, thc poor devil staggered off down tho road to find a homo in some othor county. Clarendon Press. DEATH OP DR. GEDDINGS.-On last Wednesday night, says tho Charleston ATews ?uc/ Courier, Dr. Eli Geddings, after au illpess of several weeks, breathed his last, adding another namo to tho long roll of the illustrious dead, who in their lives have adorned and ennoble-.! medical science. Dr. Geddings was born in 1799, and was consequently in his suth year. Ile was a nativo of Newberry County, and was reared on a farm until he was 19 years old, when ho studied medicine and ?iractiecd as a licentiate forsoveral years; mt, when the Collego of South Carolina was opened in 1824, ho carno to Charles ton, and became the first graduate of that institution, having actdd during his cou rc e as demonstrator of anatomy. Ho taught on his own account, for several years, a school of anatomy, and then ac cepted n professorship in u medical col lege in Baltimore, which ho filled accep tably until, on tho death of Dr. Ramsay, ho was offered and accepted thc chair of surge -j in bis Alma Maier, and returned to Charleston, whero he has ever since resided and enjoyed a large and lucra tive practice. Ho held his position as professor of surgery for many years, and contributed much to the high reputation of the Medical College of South Car ??jua. Dr. Geddings 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 bo mourned by tho whole communi ty, as well ashy that large circlo to which ho was more nearly connected by tho in timate relations v>f physician and friend. Two Cor/>RED REPRESENTATIVES WHO WERE FAITHFUL AND TRUE.-A correspondent writing to tho News and Courier from Gilllsonville, in this State, on tho 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 mads by Cornelius J. Ooicock, ?vsq., and 0. J. C. Hutson, one of the nominees of | this county for tho House. But the chief feature of the occasion was tho address of Mr. N. B. Myers, now member of the House from old Beaufort, .nd known throughout the State os one of tho two Republicans who in the hour of our supreme danger had the pluck sud moral, courage to rise higher than the dictates of party fealty and ally him self with tho Wallace House. It had been intimated to Myen by tho Repub licans that ho regretted the course ho had taken, and he .was refused a hearing at one of their meetings. Ho therefore, on thia occasion, availed himself of the op oort-unit" offered to defino h?9 oo*H?oD: Ho delivered- an excellent and manly speech, ?tating emphatically that tho step which bo had taken was tho proudest act of his life, and that he not only did not TAIT rot itr tint he would show his loyalty tolho cause of good government by voting tho entire Democratic ticket ia tho com in- election And stumping tho county for lt. Several Republican lights of tho party interrogated him, but-were demol ished by his replies. AU honor to Myers and Hamilton! They should never bc rgotten by our people. ALIBI. SOUTH CAROLINA? UNDER HAMP TON. ">'.> ii'MliK'tloit Of Ilaco dr Varty In Carry ing on tho Government. tn view of tho misstatements conccrn ing Soutli Carolina and Governor Hamp ton, new circulating for campaign pur punen, the subjoined letter of Capt. Earle, a native Republican, to .Senator Conkling will he read with interest. This letter puts Capt. Marie snuarctV on l'uv iccoru, and his words should count, inasmuch as he has never wavered in his Republican' ism, and was for a number ol years as sistant-district attorney for South Caro lina : GREENVILLE. S. C., Julv 12,1878. T/:e J Jun. Roscoe Conkling, V. fi. ?Senator, iViithinglon, I). C. : SIB-1 have read your Utica interview with the interest which I do everything which ?man?tes from you, and there is ono feature in it concerning which I de aire to address you hrielly. I refer to your oxpreasioB that "justice does not existj even in name, under Wad? Hamp ton's Government." I do MO because I am sure you would not willingly hy unjust to an opponent, and because thc c?lecl of your comment is prejudicial to a correct understanding at thc North of tho truo state of affair*) in South Carolina, and calculated to Eirciudic? voursclf in the estimation of loth political parties herc. It is foreign to my present purpose to review thc campaign of 1870 or to com ment upon the course of Mr. Hayes be yond faying thal it seems to be the con viction ol'all Republicans here that Gov ernor Hampton has striven ably and earnestly to redeem his oft-repeated pledge to he tho "Governor of all the people of South Carolina, irrespective of race or political party." His course has been marked uniformly hy the highest conservatism and political sagacity. His opposition han been con fined to the extremists nnd agitators of his own party, and by his fairness and impartiality he has created a sentiment which has simply obliterated this oppo sition. In every utterance he has dis couraged political agitation, and advised thc people to work lor tho restoration o? their prostrate material interests, and to invite Northern immigration by the strong guarantees of fair dealing and a just and impartial administration of thc laws. Under no administration, save Chamberlain's, have the rights of all the people been HO fully and impartially re garded and protected, and it is ?(pially due to both of them to say that whilst Chamberlain had lo contend with an ig norant, cullen and corrupt opposition iu his own party, Hampton has for thc most part had a utrong and cheerful sup port in his efforts from both his Stato officers and General Assembly. It is not singular that ono failed, notwithstanding hie. earnest and zealous efforts, whilst thc other has succeeded. When tho preju dices of un acrimonious campaign havo died out, thc judgment of impartial ob servers will do justice to both of them. Of what nro known ?ts the "State trials" I do not proposo to write at length. Governor Hampton has pardoned Car penter, nnd it is understood that he is restrained by their appeals to thc Su preme Court from any action in the cases of Smalls and Carduzo, 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 tho Gen eral Assembly vested him with power to direct a discontinuance of any of these prosecutions, and in some instances this power bas airoady been exercised. Judging from things that ho has done and from his public utterances there is no doubt that Hampton favors nn 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' ccutc this class of cases it yet keeps them open as so many irritating sentons upon tho calendars of its courts. Tho people of South Carolina have had a plethora of political agitation, and whilst this re quires no proof, even to tho casual ob server, there are few politicians who are willing to risk making thc effort, and could succeed in impressing upon the people that their future prosperity must na as a Stato in tho Union, heartily in accord with the sentiment of tho nation ns to tho question Hettled by tho war. After a full investigation of tho bonded debt ol'the S'ato bj' a joint committee of the General Assembly, Governor Hamp ton has earnestly aim forcibly 'irged that the settlement made by th* Republicans should bu carried out in g^od faith. As from hi? own party, but amongst the ex ceptions ho has continued in o?Mco a col- ? ored (black) Republican trial justico in this place. Within tho past six weeks I havo per sonally attended thc trial of three negroes for killing negroes, of a whito mau for killing a whito man, and of two white men, ono of them a constable, for killing a negro, and I was unable to perceive the slightest difference in the conduct of the trials and thc administration of thc law. I feel nssured that you will take pleas ure in investigating the facts and cor recting tho error iuto which you have fallen. I havo thc honor to be, very respect fully, yours, WM. E. EARLE. MISCEGENATION PROHIBITED BY VIR GINIA LAWS.-The Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia has decided an im portant case, establishing thc social status of tho negro in Virginia with respect to marriage Judge Christian delivered tho opinion of tho court. It wat held that a marriage between n negro and whito woman domiciled in tho State who wont into tho District of Columbia nnd were there married and returned to thc State, was violative of tho 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 n mere evasion of tho State law, which declare, all such mar riages absolutely void. Tho opinion is nn elnborato ono, reviewing tho English and American decisions, and declaring ?hat it i: to the interest and proper de velopment of both races, and in accord ance with tho pronounced public policy of the State, declared in its legislation for moro than a century, that marriages between negroes and'whiten and the in termingling of tho races should bo pro hibited by law. A STEAMBOAT ON T?GALO RIVER, A small steamboat with an eight horse K>wer engine has been secured by Tilmnn . Gaines, general agent of the Southern Land and Navigation Company, to bo run on the T?galo mid Seneca Rivers in upper South Carolina. Tho boat only draws two feet water, and is capable of towing many tons on flat boats. It will earrv about fifty passengers, and will bo used, also, for excursions on the beautiful Seneca and Togalo, daring the summer months.

RADICAL PERS?CUTION.-We leam that on .Saturday laut, at a colored school celebration near Clay Hill, a number of colored persons who have affiliated with thc Democratic party were ptcsent. These colored citizens wore set upon by persons of their own color und bailly abused for thus presuming to exercise tho rights of freemen. The ringleaders ol thc disturbance were Prince Bigger, William Chonte, Jim Watson and Joe Watson, for whom warrants were isMitd on Monday, and after a hearing before Trial Justice D. M. Wallace, in default of bail, they were committed to jail on tho charge of rioting and assault and batter- with intent to kill.- Yorkvilk 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 ('niton's ?tore, in Union, between W. Palmer, Jr., and David Johnson, Jr., in which tho former was seriously, if not fatally, shot by thc latter. - Mosby, when drawing his first quar ter's pay as Consul, remarked to tho pay ing teller of the treasury, "This is the second time I have drawn on thc United States for money. The first limo wat when I pulled lip a couple of army pay masters during the late war." - A. J. Hinckle, the youuger of tho two brothers convicted of violating the revenue laws at the recent session of tho United States Court at Greenville, died Thursday of typhoid fever. Ile bad been sick for some days, and was taken from jail to a private house, where he died. - A letter from New York to one of our citizens says : "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 enough to carry him through the day. Tho fellow WUH your ex-Governor, Moses. Ho 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 tho amount in 1874 was but 18,000, 000. Employers claim that thc earnings of the mil! operatives aro 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, greater skill and economy, with improv ed machinery, produce these, results. - The peuple 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 pe.ople. With a generosity unbounded they *re> piling up measure after meas urei each ono larger than tho 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 thc world has kno^.n before.-Memphis Appeal. Odo 0<Tl1. ' - The Edisto (Orangeburg) Clarion of Saturday last has the following: "On Monday night as some ruftmen were coining down Black Creek, Lexington County, they noticed tho body of a man in tho water just below Bambeau's Bridge. On examination in tho 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 of blood was found. Tho tracks of the vehicle were traced six or eight miles up the Edgefield road and then lost. Tho man'? throat was cut. It is to be hoped that the guilty party may be arrested, and meted out tho just punishment the foul deed demands. Wc also learn that the body of another man was found in the Edisto River, just be low Dorsey's Bridgn. His throat was cut besides having several stabs in the body." - Along the Railroad from Char leston to Bonneau, a few days ago, tho colored people turned out iii droves to see and welcome Gov. Hampton. Tbe men wore red shirts or red flannel belts around tho waists, or shoulders, or hat, and the women red tippets, which made them prtmd to know that they wero 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 honorable-a self-approving ambition iu the days of their slavish Republicanism, Two of their old political masters, Bowen and Taft, wero among the passengers, and witnessed this grand demonstration of freedom and political bone on the part of their recent slaves and tools without n word of comment-with bowed 'heads and sad hearts, lt was to them the fun eral service of tba stinking Republican corpse. - Among thc thousand and one arti cles ?cut to Memphis by tho benevolent souls of tho country for tho relief of tho fever sufferers, many are most useless for thc people, some of thom ludicrously so. Some ot tuCSO th? iuGuipuia A i u'nnt/ic. thus instances: "A sealskin victorine; a dor.en double-lined buckskin gloves, that would bo useful in Alaska ; a dozen or more of beautiful chemises, handsomely embroidered on the outer edges, at top and bottom ; the latter, though bright and denn, evidently second-hand. Some good, pious woman had stripped herself to tho bono to give aid and comfort to our nick, destitute dnd dying people. God bless her, say we. There wero boxes of shoes, too, of all sizes, shades and proportion;:. There were slippers su Vi cient to supply all thc ministers whoever flourished on these bluffs." Saya the Avalanch?: "So much of this stuff ia so utterly useless that wo must laugh at tho donors' lack of knowledge of our wants, but when we think of the generous spirit that baa prompted theso liberal dona tions, we feel moro like crying."
