E. B. MURKAY, Editor. "THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 16, 1879. Messrs. Calvo & Patton, proprietors of the Columbia Register, bave our thanks for their courtesy and liberality in furnishing us the election dispatches, which appear in another column. Senator Blaine and General Ewing are first consins and great personal friends, although they are entirely oppo? site in their political views. Some time ago Ewing went into Maine and spoke against Blaine, and a few days since Blaine returned the compliment by going into Ohio and speaking in opposition to Ewing. While out there he took tea with Ewing, and is said to havo spent a very pleasant evening. The two men, however, are very different in other respects than politics. Ewing is a brave, patriotic and independent man, while Blaine i3 only brave in time of profound peace, measures his patriotism by his per? sonal interests, and is independent when he is certain he is with the majority, and not otherwise.. I ."Mr. George William Curtis, the editor of Harper's Weekly, which is one of the most implacable Southern haters and maligners of all the Republican press, and whose loyal Republicanism is be? yond dispute or even suspicion, does not like the nomination of Conkling's man Cornell for Governor of New York, and j therefore is urging the voters of the Em . pire State to vote the Republican ticket, leaving tho name of Cornell off of it. This is the counterpart of the Kelly bolt from Robinson, and may perhaps do something to make up for the disaffection in the Democratic ranks. At least, it is refreshing to see Harper's Weekly, even in an indirect way, contributing to the election of a Democratic Governor of New York. Postmaster General Key says that pol? itical assessments are unknown to the postoffice department, and that the postmasters throughout the country can either respond to or decline any call for contributions which may be made on them. This may all be true, but expe? rience shows that those who fail to res? pond to the invitation to contribute very soon thereafter receive an invitation to step down and out of the office, to make room for some more pliant individual who will respond. This is a fair speci? men of tho idea which the Republican party has of liberty. The officers of the government are at liberty to do as they please with their salaries so long as they please to do as the Republican party say about contributing out of it. .We think we have heard of some such proceedings as this in the days of Radicalism in South Carolina, but it is entirely unknown to our State officers under the Democratic administration. . A strong argument for temperance may be made from the fact that Mr. Hayes' reputation for temperance is all that saves him from the suspicion of be? ing drunk when he made his recent speech at Aurora, 111., lately, for he is reported as saying: ''What I wish to say, and do not lot any one misunderstand me, is that in the long run what is good for the capitalist, good for the laborer, is good for all the rest" An exchange wants to know who com? pose the class of all the rest, after taking out the capitalist and the laborer. Tho President has not made a great reputa? tion by his speeches, nor indeed by any of his actions as President, except his fine promises to the country and his misera? bly poor performances. Mr. Hayes will leave office with the suspicion of fraud attached to him by the vast majority of the people of the United States, and will bo written down in history as the most pitiable failure that has ever occupied the executive chair. He will, however, have drawn two hundred thousand dol? lars salary, which will compensate him for the damage done his reputation by his term in office. The Providence Star, a stalwart Re? publican paper in Rhode Island, begins to fear the approach of the day of judg? ment upon Radicalism, and tries to mud? dle the issues as defined between the two parties by assurances to the people that the questions are not so radically im? portant as the Democrats pretend. It says: This talk about destroying the Union is getting to be stale. ?'?-.* All the political and public questions now before the country concern solely the domestic economy of the Union and the States, and have nothing whatever to do with their assured existence. The Union is indissoluble, and the States are inde? structible, and no sane man will try to dissolve the one or destroy the other. Now this is rather a dangerous admis? sion for a stalwart to make. Its proper analysis makes it an admission to begin with, that all the stalwart talk about the Confederate Brigadiers and their effort to break up the Union is intended for po? litical purpose, as there is no danger of any sane man trying to dissolve it, although Blaine, Sherman, Conkling, &c., are continually protesting that the Union is in danger. It also admits the correctness of the doctrine of State rights, and predicts its perpetuity. The article by fair implication then admits that all of the sectional hate and animosity which is being engendered is only in? tended to keep a set of broken down po? litical hacks in power. The logic of its article presents an irresistible argument in favor of voting the Democratic ticket. The Cincinnati Gazette, edited by Dea? con Richard Smith, has for years been the exact reverse of complimentary to the Democratic party, always taking the State of Kentucky when its editor wishes to illustrate some heinous offense with which the Democratic party is charge? able, aud this has induced the Louisville Courier-Journal, which is presided over by Hon. Henry Watterson, whose piety is not a match for the good Deacon, though his truthfulness ranks consid? erably higher, to champion the cause of Kentucky; and hence, whenever thercfis any necessity to give an example of Rad? ical rascality or shortcoming, Mr.. Wat? terson takes his text from some occur? rence in Ohio. This tilt between these two papers has been very sarcastic, and 3t times more pointed than amiable, so that Deacon Smith was immensely pleased recently in being able to ac quaint his readers with the fact that in Breathit County, Kentucky, there was a voting population of 1300, and that 800 of these were under indictment for crim? inal offences. This the Deacon regarded as a clincher in the argument to prove the lawlessness and crime of the Demo? cratic party, but Watterson took all of the poetry out of it by mentioning a little circumstance which the good Deacon had, by some unintentional (?) omission, left out of his statement of the case. He showed that Breathit County had for years been one of the very few counties in Kentucky which is overwhelmingly Republican, and argues from this fact to prove the danger of Republican ascen? dancy. The Deacon has, since this med? dling on the part of Watterson, had very little to say about Breathit County, and his conclusion is that the number of in? dictments was fabulously overestimated. Col. Robert M. Douglass, United States Marshal for North Carolina, has been to Washington, and reports that Redmond is entrenched in the mountains of Swain County, N. C, with about twenty-five or thirty desperate followers, who defy the Marshals and are having things very much their own way. A few days since a raiding party of Marshals came upon a portion of this band, and as they were modest men, who had no desire toset the world on fire or to astonish the natives, they thought best to forego the pleasure of a battle with the moonshiners, in the place of which, without long consulta? tion, they decided to indulge as amateurs in a pedestrian 'contest, in pursuance of which it is said their journey back to the village wa3 undoubtedly the best time ever made over a mountain road. Col. Douglass, however, does not think it will be difficult to catch Redmond, but sug? gests that, in order to do so, it will be necessary for the government to raise the reward to one thousand dollars. He does not recommend this, in order to let his Deputies make the money, for he very clearly states by implication that his men are not at all avaricious, for if this large reward is offered, they propose allowing such of the mountaineers as may have their cupidity excited by the opportunity for gain to enjoy a complete monopoly of hunting and arresting Red? mond. We have seldom seen such a candid statement as that which Col. Douglass makes, and it entitles him to the reputation of a man who hints at the truth, even if it does prove him to be under the influence of a wholesome fear. The Abbeville Press and Banner and the Barnwell People have been amusing themselves with a little skirmish over the suggestion of the propriety of nominating Gen. Hagood for Governor next year. We would not be guilty of intermeddling with this tete-a-tete, but for the fact that we think the position of our Abbeville con? temporary liable to be misconstrued to the injury, perhaps, of party discipline throughout the State, for the Press and Banner says the people of Abbeville will not vote for Gen. Hagood for Governor, because he wa3 a member of the State Board of Equalization, which raised the assessment of Abbeville Connty last year. Does our contemporary mean that the people of Abbeville will nor, vote for Gen. Hagood if he is nominated for Gov? ernor? If so, they are a very different people from what we believe them to be. Indeed, if this is wfiat our contemporary means, we must express the opinion that it is wrong, for we dc not believe that the people of Abbeville would encourage any thing like an independent move? ment on account of their personal likes or dislikes. If, on the other hand, it sim? ply means that the people of Abbeville will try to nominate some other man, that is what they have the undoubted right to do; but unless they can find some stronger reason to urge against Gen. Hagood than his action in this matter, they had as well vote in Bilence, for the unreasonableness of their opposition will strengthen Gen. Hagood with impartial 70ters. We not mean by this to indicate an advocacy of tho nomination of Gen. Hagood, for we believe that Gen. Mc Gowan is largely tho favorite of Ander? son County; but we do want to 6ee fair play, and have an idea that it will be the best policy for all parties in tho long run. Gen. Hagood should neither be nomi? nated nor defeated because of his idea of the value of real estate in any particular county. The reasons which induce the nomination of a Governor in South Car? olina should and will bo of a more sub? stantial nature. The Democratic campaign in New York has opened in earnest, and despite the grave apprehensions of danger from the Kelly split in the party, it promises to be one of the most active and vigorous canvasses ever made in the United States. It is considered that Mr. Tilden is shap? ing the canvass and entering into its do tails with the greatest enthusiasm, which is no doubt correct, for it already exhibits the hand of a master politician in the thorough detail and minutia of its man? agement. Canvassers are speaking throughout the State, and a system of reports have been arranged for which will give to the central committee a list of the names of every voter who pledges to vote for Robinson, with another list containing the names of all who arc doubtful, and a third tho names of those who arc known to be voters for Cornell. Thus the canvass will be made a regular matter of business, with every detail care? fully watched. If there is any reliance to be put in the newspaper versions of the canvass, the contest will be a very close one, in which it is by no means impossible for Robinson to win. If it should take this turn there will be very little chance to defeat Mr. Tiklen'B re nomination for tho Presidency, for ho will have accomplished so great a feat in politics as to entitle him to the gratitude of the party. We cannot win the Presi? dential election without New York, and no man in that State can carry the pres? ent canvass to a Democratic victory ex? cept Mr. Tilden. It is the great struggle of Mr. Tilden's life. If he fails it will be the Waterloo of his political life, and, if he succeeds, the future has high political rewards in store for him. The same is also true of Mr. Conkling, who is bound to secure the election of Cornell, or, for a time at least, pass under the ban which a defeat always places upon those who fail. This election, therefore, will be a battle of the giants, and its result will in a large measure foreshadow tho end of tiie Presidential contest next year. The case of the State against Aiken Moore, Kiley Moore, Thomas Moore and Joseph Moore, the father and three sons who aro accused of assassinating Alex. Bryce. jr., was called for trial in tho Court of General Sessions for Oconee County last week. The prisoners were represented by Messrs. McGowan and Thompson, and the State by the Solicitor. Affidavits were submitted on behalf of the prisoners, showing that they could not safely go to trial in consequence of the absence of material witnesses, whom they had tried to have present, and, after argument, Judge Pressley decided to continue tho case to tho next term of Court, 6aying that in murder cases it would be a very great inconvenience and injustice to tho prisoners if they are in? nocent to force them to ?trial without tho presence of witnesses by whom they could establish that innocence, and if they are guilty that it would give them an undue advantage, for their counsel would argue to the jury that as they were forced to trial in the absence of witnesses they were deprived of the testimony by which they could havo proven their in? nocence. A correspondent of the New York Times say that Morgan H. Bryce, a brother of the deceased, had written to tho north for funds to help prosecute the case, saying that the Democrats would not give him justice, and that he is una? ble to pay the expense of additional counsel himself. This letter is said to have been answered, promising tho mou ey, but requiring it to be paid to some Northern Republican attorney instead of to any Democratic lawyer, and sugges? ting Martin I. Townsend, of New York. Bryce has represented the killing po? litical murder, if he is properly reported, and a more unjustifiable perversion of truth was never uttered, for the people of the whole county are indignaut over it, and the men M. H. Brice is prosecuting are Republicans themselves. The opin? ion of a great majority of the people is, that the Moores are guilty, and \i the proof justifies it they will certainly be convicted. Rhode Island has long been considered the very heart and essence of Republi? canism, so that the party may justly be chargeable with the short comings of this little spot of tho Union, which no doubt was created for some wise purpose that has not yet been revealed, the existence of which is only to be predicated upon an orthodox faith. In this State, where the Republicans hold undisputed sway, they have engrafted as one of the pro? visions of the new Constitution that no foreign born citizen shall be allowed to vote unless he has a certain amount of property in the State, thus discriminating against all foreigners, regardless of intel? ligence and worth, until they have a certain sura of money, which is the sum mum bonum according to the idea of the Republican party. Thi3 is only a step in the direction which tho party is travel? ing. If it does not cause them disaster, the prohibition will be extended until it embraces all except the money power of the country, which i3 now striving to absorb entire control. The doctrine of personal rights and individual liberty, which was so dear to the founders of the Republic, havo steadily diminished and curtailed by the dominion of the party of great moral ideas. The step in Rhode Island is an odious and dangerous one, which, if extended to all classes of citi? zens, would soon be followed by the com? plete overthrow of the elective franchise and tho establishment of a centralized government, which would have all of the disadvantages of a monarchy without its purity or its protection to its subjects. This step ia Rhode Island ought to drive every foreign voter in the United States from the Republican party. It is an affront which has not even tho extenua? tion of a single reason for its enactment. It discriminates between native and foreign born citizens in a more odious manner than tho advocates of know-noth ingism proposed to do a few years ago. An enlightened public sentiment at that time completely deluged know-nothing ism in tho flood of popular indignation and contempt for its bigotry and selfish? ness. The Republican party is cautious? ly but firmly approaching the same posi? tions now, and, unless it is speedily re? buked, i ospect for success is very dis? couraging ihe friends of the Republic who admiro its better days, when the theme of liberty animated the hearts and controlled the actions of our public men.

Ohio ami Iowa Go Republican by In? creased Majorities. Special Dispatch to the Anderson Intelligencer. Columbia, S. C, Oct. 15, 9-30 a. m. The following despatches convey as accurate an idea of tho situation in Ohio and Iowa as any we have received up to this hour: Chicago, Oct. 14.?Iowa returns from 31voting precincts show an aggregate Re? publican majority of 6,140. Louisa County gives 500 to GOO, and Fayette 300 to 400 Republican majority.

Nine precincts report? ed so far show a net Republican gain. The returns received indicate a Republi? can majority on the State ticket over both Democrat and Greenback tickets of 20,000. In tho fifth Congressional Dis? trict Thompson, Republican, is undoubt? edly elected over Calhoun, Fusion. The Legislature returns indicate that the Re? publicans will have a majority on joint ballot of G5. Duduque, Iowa, Oct. 14. The latest returns from this county in? dicate that the entire Democratic ticket is elected over the combined opposition of Republicans and Greenbackers. The Democratic State ticket has probably a majority of 1500 hundred. The Green? back vote throughout the State has great? ly fallen off In seven precincts in this county where they expected large gains they have only four or six votes. Columbus, Oct. 14,10-15 p. m. Returns from sixty precincts counted and reported by the manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company offi? cers throughout th" State show a net gain of 2,930 for Foster, Republican, for Governor, over the vote for Secretary of State in 1878. This indicates a Repub? lican majority in the State of from 25,000 to 30,000. 11-30 p. m.?Returns from 380 pre? cincts, wards and townships 6how a Re? publican, gain of 5,730.

Four hundred and forty precincts, wards and townships give a net Republican gain of 6,628. Cincinnati, Oct. 14?Midnight. The vote polled in Cincinnati and Hamilton counties is probably the largest in their history. Many business men were at the polls the greater part of the day. Returns are-coming in very slowly, not a fifth of the vote vet being known. If the Republican gain in those counties re? ported continues, the Republican major? ity in the County will be about 3000. Williams, colored, Republican candidate for the Legislature, has been quite ex? tensively scratched, but it is probable that he and the whole Republican ticket will be elected by majorities ranging from 1000 to 3000. Cleveland, Oct. 14.?Midnight. Sixteen Wards give Foster 3,961 ma? jority. The city and county give Foster about 5,500 majority. The Republicans will probably elect their entire county aud legislative ticket. Cincinnati, Oct. 15.?2 a. m. The Commercial and Gazette put Fos? ter's majority at from 25,000 to 30,000. The Enquirer concedes a small majority to Foster, but claims the Legislature. Columbus, Oct. lo.?2 a. m. We have returns of the vote for Gov? ernor from over one-fourth of the State, which show Republican gains of 7,500, and indicate a Republican majority in the State of 25,000. Definite returns of the result on members of the Legislature have not been received, and the Legisla? ture is claimed by both parties, with the 1 chances in favor of the Republicans. Partial returns from 47 additional coun? ties give a Republican gain of 6,371. Columbus, Oct. 15.?2-15 a. m. The Democratic State Committee con? cedes the election to Foster, but claim the Legislature. Tho chairman of the Republican Committee claims the elec? tion of 23 out of 35 Senators and 70 out of 114 Representatives. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. Gleanings from our State Exchange?.
