E. B. MUKItAY, Editor. THUH8DAY MORNINO, OCT. 1?, 1870. Mesara. Calvo & Patton, proprietors of the Columbia Register, bave our thank* for their courtesy and liberality in furnishing us the election dispatches, which appear in another column. Sena or Blaine and General Ewing are first cousins 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 have spent a very pleasant evening. Tho two men, however, are very different in other respects than politics. Ewing is a brave, patrlotio and independent man, whilo Blaine ia only brave In timo of profound peace, measures his patriotism by his per sonal interests, sud is independent when he is certain ho is with the majority, and not otherwise.. I 'Mr. Georgo William Curtis, thc editor of Harper's Weekly, which is one of tho most implacable Southern haters and maligners of all tho Republican press, and whose loyal Republicanism ls be yond dispute or even suspicion, does not Uko tho nomination of Conkling's tuan Cornell for Governor of New York, and therefore ir urging tho voters of tho Em pire State to vote tho Republican ticket, leaving tho name of Cornell off of it. This ia tho counterpart of the Kelly bolt from Robinson, and may perhaps do something to make up for the disaffection in tho Democratic ranko. At least, it is refreshing to *eo Harper's Weekly, even in an indirect woy, contributing to the election of a Democratic Governor of New York, Postmaster General Key says that pol itical assessments aro unknown to tho postoffico department, and that tho postmasters throughout tho country can cither respond to or declino any cali for contributions which may bo mndo on thom. This may ail bo ?ruo, but expe rience shows that thoso who fail to res pond to tho invitation to contribute very uoou thereafter rccctvo an invitation to step down and out of tho office, to make room for Bomo moro pliant individual who will respond. This is a fair speci men.of tho idea which tho Republican party has of liberty. Tho officers of the government aro nt liberty to do as they pienso with their salaries so long as they plcaso todo as tho Republican party say about contributing out of it. We think wo have heard of some such proceedings ns thia in tho days of Radicalism in South Carolina, but it ia entirely unknown to our State officers under tho Democratic, administration. . A strong argument for temperance may be made from tho fact that Mr. Hayes' reputation for temperance is all that saves him from tho suspicion of ho ing drunk when he made his recent speech at Aurora. Ul., lately, for ho is reported as saying : "What I wish to say, and do not lot any ono mtsundorstanu mo, ia that in tho long run what is good for tho capitalist, good for tho laborer, Is good for all the rest." An exchange wanta to know who com* poso tho class bf all the rest, after taking out tho capitalist and tho laborar. Tho President has not made A great reputa tion by his speeches, nor indeed by any d' his actions as President, except his fino promises to tho country and his misera bly poor performances. Mr. Hayes will icHvo uuiuu Tri?? uro oiuj'ii/iu,< c. irauu attached to him by the vast majority of the peopi-a of the United States, and will be written down in history aa tho moat pitiable failure that has ever occupied J tho executive chair. He will, however, have drawn two hundred thousand dol lars salary, which will compenso';; V?m for the damage done his reputa*' '/ his term in office. The Providonco Star, a stalwart Re publican paper in Rhodo Island, begins to fear tho 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 tho people that. iud qUta?Oua a ru nui ail radically im portant as the Democrats pretend. It says: This talk about destroying tho Union la getting to bo stale. ? . . All tho political and pcbllo questions now before tho country oonooro solely the domestic economy of trie Union nud tho States, and havo nothing whatever to do with their assured existence. Tho Union ' ia indissoluble, and tho States aro' Inde structible, and no nano man will try to dissolvo the one or. destroy tho other. Now this ia rather a dangerous admis sion for a stalwart to make. Its proper analysis makts it an admission to bogia with, that all tho stalwart talk about the Confederate B-^adlera and their effort tc break up tho ??\i?un is intended for po litical purpose, as there ls no danger of any sane man trying to dissolve it, although Blaine, Sherman, Oonkling, . Ac., aro continually protesting that tho Union la iii danger. It also admite the correctness of tho doctrine of State rights, and predicts ita perpetuity. The article of tho sectional hato and animosity which is being esgendeicd Is only In tended to keep a sot of broken down po litical hocks in power. Tho logic of its article presonts an irresistible argument in favor of voting the Democratic ticket. The Cincinnati (hxtttt?, edited by Dea con Richard Smith, hat for years been tho exact-. 'ever** of cori!pUci53*.*iry te th. Domocratio party, always taking tho State of Kentucky when ita editor wishes to illustrate yomo heinous o?Tenso with which the. DemoanfUc party fa charge able, and this has induced tho Louisville Cbkiier'Journal, which ia presided over by Hon, Henry Watterson, whose' piety is ?jot a match for the good Deacon, though hi> truthfulness ranks eoPald erahjr blghw, to champion the causo of y'^/acky ; *ud houce, whenever tbere|i?, ?* i>y necessity tb give an example of Rs**-' raneo in Ohio. This tilt betweenvtfctt? tv^'o papers has beep very sarcastic, and r?t tiraos more pointed than amiable, so :.; _ .AuJii- .Sinittt^ was .imjwenfloly. -ri recently Ia bel?g oblo to ac* quaint his readers with tho fact that in Breathit County, Kentucky, there was a voting population of 1300, and that 800 of t'aeee were linder indictment for crim inal offences. This tho De icon regarded as a clincher in the argument to provo tho lawlessness and cri ruo of the Demo cratic party, but Watterson took all of the poetry out of it by mentioning a little r; r*. i un ufo i. .70 which thc goad De-neon had, by some unintentional (?) omission, loft out of his statement of tho case. He showed that Breathit County had for years boon one of tho very few counties in Kentucky which ia overwhelmingly Republican, and argues from this fuct to prove the danger of Republican ascen dancy. The Deacon has, since this med dling on the part of Watterson, had very little to Bay oboht Breathit County, and bis conclusion is that the number of in dictments was fabulously overestimated. Col. Robort M. Douglass, United States Marshal for North Carolina, has been to Washington, and reports that Redmond is 'intrenched in tho mountains of Swain County, N. C., with about twenty-five or thirty desperate followers, who defy tho Marabals and are having things very much their own way. A few days si nco a raiding party of Marshals came upon a portion of this band, and as they were modest men, who had no desire to sot tho world on fire or to astonish tho natives, they thought best to forego tho pleasuro of a hattie with tho moonshiners, in tho place of which, without long consulta tion, they decided to iudulgo as amateurs in a pedestrian 'content, in pursuance of which it is said th' journey back to the villago was undoubtedly tho bent timo over mado over a mountain road. Col. Douglass, however, docs not think it will bo difficult to catch Redmond, Tut sug gests that, in order to do so, it will be necessary for the government to raiso tho reward to ono thousand dol?an. Ho does not recommend this in order to let his Deputies make tho mouoy, for ho very clearly states by implication that li in men aro not nt all avaricious, for if this large reward ia offered, they propose allowing such of tho mountaineers as may havo their cupidity excited by tho opportunity for gain to enjoy a complete monopoly of hunting und arresting Red mond. Wo have seldom seen such a candid statement as that which Col. Donglass makes, and it entitles him to tho reputation of a man who hints at tho truth, evon if it does provo him to be under the influence of a wholesomo fear. Tho Abbovillo Preta and Banner and tho Barnwell People havo boen amusing themselves with a littlo skirmish over the suggestion of the propriety of nominating Gen. Hagood for Governor next year. Wo would not ho guilty of Vjtermoddling with this tete-a-tete, but for tho fact that we think tho position of our Abbovillo con temporary liable to bo misconstrued to the injury, perhaps, of party discipline throughout the State, for tho Preta and Banner BayB tho pooplo of Abbovillo wiil not voto for Gon. Hagood for Governor, because he waa a membor of tho State Board of Equalization, which raised tho assessmont of Abbovillo County last year. Does our contemporary mean that tho people of Abbeville will not vote for Gen. Hagood if bo is nominated for Gov ernor? if so, they are a very different people fron what wo believe them to bo. Indeed, If this is wBat our contemporary means, wo must express the opinion that it is wrong, for we do not believe that tho people of Abbovillo would encourage any thing like an independent move ment on account of their pomonal likes or dislikes. If, on the other hand, it sim ply moans that tho people of Abbovillo will try to nominate somo other man, that is what they have tho undoubted right tn do j but unless they can find soma stronger reason to urge against Gen. Hagood than his action in this matter, they had as well vote in silence, for tho unreasonableness of their opposition will Rtiongthon Gon. Hagood with impartial voters. We not moan by this to indicate an advocacy of tho nomination of Gen. Hatrood. for wo believe that Gen. Mc Gowan ia largely tho favorito of Ande . son County; bub we do want to seo fair play, and have an idea that it will bo tho best policy for all parties in tho long run. Gen. Hagood should nei> sr be nomi nated nor defeated because of hi", idea of the valuo of real estate in any particular county. The reasons which induce tho nomination of a Governor in South Car olina should and will bo of a more sub stantial nature. Tho Democratic campaign in New York has opened, in earnest, and despite the grave apprehensions of danger from the Kelly split in the party, il piumises to bo ono of tho most active and vigorous canvasses ever made in iee United States. It is considered that Mr. Tilden is shap ing the canvass and entering into its ' de tails with the greatest enthusiasm, which is no doubt correct, for it already exhibits tho b?ud' 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 beou arranged for which I will give to the central eommitteo a list of tho names of every voter who pledges to vote for Robinson, with another list coptainlng the names of all who aro ft??b??h! *nd *r??*?i? th*? *>? ih??? who are known to be voters foi Cornell. Thus toe canvass will be made fi regular matter of business, with every detail care fully Watched. If there is any re liance to be put in the newspaper versions of the canvass, the contest will bo a very dose 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. Tina's re nomination for tho Presidency, for he will have accomplished so gres* a fest in politics aa to entitle him to the gratitude of the party. Wo 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 U the great struggle of Mr. TUden's life. If he falls it will bo, the Waterloo of his polit*?*! ll&, sud, if he f ucooeda, the future has high political rewajds in store for him. Tho same ia also troo of Mr. Coniiing, who ls bound to eecare tho electioc of. Cornell, or, for u time at least, pass urida? tho ban which a defeat Always places open thom who fall? This election, toereforo, will be a battle of tba giants, and its result will in a. BiMsum foraanadow tho end nf the Presidential contost ?cort year. Tbc case of the ?Stute against Aiken Mooro, Kiley Moore, Thomas Mooro and Joseph Moore, the father and three sons j who aro accused of a-naasi neting Alex. Bryce, jr., was called for trial in tho Court of General Sessions for Oconee County last week. The prisoners were j represented by Messrs. McGowan and Thompson, and the State by the Solicitor. Affiiavlta ?vero submitted on behalf of j tho prisoners, showing that they could not safely go to trial in conhcquenco of j the absence of material witnesses, whom they had tried to have present, and, after j argument, Judge Pressloy decided to continue tho case to tho next tenn of I Court, saying that in murder cases it would bo a very great inconvenience and injustice to tho prisoners if they uro in nocent to force them to trial without tho presence of witnesses by whom they could establish that innocence, and if I they are guilty that it would givo them an undue advantage, for their counsel would argue to the jury that as they were forced to trial in thc absence of witnesses they were deprived of tho testimony by which they could !i..vo proven their in nocence. A correspondent of tho New York Time* say that Morgan H. Bryce, a bro'her of tho deceased, had written to the north for funds to help prosecute tho caso, saying that tho Democrats would not give him justico, and that bo is una blo to pay tho expenso of additional counsel himself. This letter is said to have been answered, promising tho mon ey, but requiring it to bo paid to some Northern Republican attorney instead of to any Democratic lawyer, and sugges ting Martin I. Townsend, of Now York. Bryce has represented tho killing po litical murder, if ho ia properly reported, and u moro unjust Wi able perversion of truth was novcr uttered, for tho pcoplo of tho whole county aro indignant over it, and the mon M. H. Brlco is prosecuting aro Republicans themselves. Tho opin ion of a gre it majority of tho peoplo is, that tho Moores aro guilty, and |f tho proof justifies it they will certainly be convicted. Rhode Island bas long been considered tho very heart and csaenco of Republi canism, so that tho party may justly bo chargeable with tho short comings of this j little spot of tho Union, which no doubt was created for somo wiso purpose that has not yet been rovcalcd, the existence | of which ?B only to bo predicated upon an orthodox faith. In this State, where tho Republicans bold undisputed sway, they have engrafted as ono of tho pro visions of tho new Constitution that no foreign born citizen shall bo allowed to j volo unless ho has a certain amount of I property in tho State, thus discriminating against nil foreigners, regardless of intel ligence and worth, until they have a certain oura of mon^y, which is tho ????. mum bonum according to tho idea of tho ? Republican JJ.-., ty. This is only a step in tho direction which tho party is travel ing. If it docs not causo them disaster, tho prohibition will be extended until it embraces all except the money power of tho country, which is now striving to absorb entire control. Tho doctrine of pomonal rights and individual liberty, j which was BO dear to the founders of tho Republic, havo Bteadily diminished and curtailod by tho dominion of tho party j of great moral ideas. Tho aten ia Rhode Island is an odious and dangerous one, which, if extonded to all classes of citi zens, would soon be followed by tho com plete overthtow of tho elective franchise and tho establishment of a centralized government, which would havo all of tho disadvantages of a monarchy without its purity or its protection to its subjects. This step in Rhode Island ought to drive ovcry foreign voter in tho United States from the Republican party. It is an affront which has not- even the extenua tion of a single reason for its enactment lt discriminates between nativo and foreign born citizens in a moro odious | manner than tho advocates of know-noth-I inglam proposed to do a few years ago. An enlightened public sentiment at that I timo completely dclugod know-nothing fem in the Seed cf popular indignation | and contempt for ita bigotry and selfish ness. Tho Republican party is cautious ly but firmly approaching thc same posi- j tions now, and, unless it is speedily re buked, its prospect for success is very dis couraging to tho friondt cf the Republic who admiro its better days, when tho thorne of liberty animated tho hearts and controlled tho actions of our public men.

Thc latest returns fron? thia county in dicate that tho entire Democratic ticket is elected over the combined opposition of Republicans and Greenbackers.

Tho vote polled in Cincinnati and Hamilton counties is probably tho largest in their history. Many business mon were at tho polls tho greater part of tho day. Koturns are coming in very Blowly, not a fifth of tho voto yet being" known. If the Republican gain in those counties re ported continues, tho Republican major ity in tho County will bo about 8000. Williams, colored, Republican candidate for tho Legislature, has been quite ex tensively scratched, but it is probable that ho and the wholo Republican ticket will be elected by majorities ranging from 1000 to 3000. CLEVELAND, Oct. 14.-Midnight. Sixteen Wards givo Foster 8,961 ma jority. The city and county give Fostci about 5,500 majority.
