E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 23, 1879. WHAT BLOODHOUNDS CAN DO. ? Some two weeks ago Mr. John Thomas Butler, of Hamburg, S. C. carried a pack of bloodhounds to New York and a-ne? gro for them to chase in Central Park, for the purpose of exhibiting the powers of his dogs, which he did very much to the interest of large crowds of spectators^ several occasions. This trivial matter was, however, too good an opportunity to let slip, and tho stalwart Republican press has been heralding it abroad with the startling news that there are hounds of this character in every neighborhood through the South, and that the poor ne? groes are chased and torn by them at the mercy and caprice of the lawless whites. Strange as it may seem, it is said that this has received the credence of many Intelligent persons, whose common sense, If they have no more immediate informa? tion; should have taught them that it Is a miserable political falsehood. As a . matter of fact, these dogs wonld be as. much a matter of wonder and curi? osity in Anderson as they were in Cen? tral-Park, for there is not a bloodhound in Anderson County, nor in the upper part of the State, that we know or have heard of. The freak which induced Mr. Sutler to go to Now York immediately before .the elections for tho purpose of making this exhibition, indicates to our mind that he has been made the dupe of a political intrigue. He was paid to go to New York, and since his exhibition of his dogs he has been offered $150 per night io go with a troupe playing "Uncle Tom's Cabin," for the purpose of intro? ducing; his dogs in one of the scenes. It is, thrtifore, panning out well for Mr. John Thomas. Butler, although' he is giving rise to very great and injurious misrep? resentations of his section of the Union. He is no doubts satisfied, but tho people of the State and of the Democratio party will probably feel like Mr. Butler's prop? er placo is at home. THE DEMO CK ATI C SITUATION. ? New York is now the pivotal State In politics, and wo are very much inclined to predict that as New York "goes so goes tho Union." If it should go Repub? lican, then the stalwart candidate will be the next President,: but if tho result is favorable to the Democrats, then we have decidedly the better of the two chances for tho Presidency. In the campaign of "1876 We lost South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida, or 19 votes from the South, ?which we are sure to get in the next .can-, yoss, so that wo will have 138 Southern votes . for the Democratic President, which leaves us only 47 more to get in the North: and "West If we carry New York we have 35, and may count with reasonable certainty ;npon 9 from New Jersey, 0 from Connecticut and 15 from Indiana, which wonld be 203 out 389, or IS more votes than enough to elect, so that we may even lose4tNow Jersey and Connecticut and still elect the President, or, carrying thorn, we may lose Indiana and succeed. Tho loss of Ohio, therefore, is not so crushing ;to Democratic pros? pects as tho Republicans pretend. The only point gained really by the Republi , cans in carrying Ohio is to make it neces? sary for us to carry New York, which would not have been indispensable If we had carried Ohio. In other words, the Republicans in carrying Ohio have only held their own in the electoral college. They have not gained anything more to? wards electing their President than they had in 1878. This will, make the contest close in New York, and the eyes of all politicians will rest intently upon the Empire State until after the 4th of No? vember, for the election of Robinson means tho success of the Democracy.next year, while the election of Cornell means another triumph for the Republicans. Things are too much mixed at present to make any predictions, but we are afraid to hope for victory. The Kelly split is a formidable and dangeions one, which may work us disaster, but at the same time there are disagreements in the Re? publican ranks, which may prove equally detrimental. Another fortnight will re? veal a great deal of-what the future poli? tics of the country will be. THE LESS on IN OHIO. Our despatches last week reported the result of the election in Ohio substantial-. ? y correct. The official count has not yet been announced, but enough is known to fix: Foster's 'majority over Ewing at from 17,000 to 20,000, and to render it certain that tho1 Republicans have carried both branches of the Legis? lature, with a good majority on joint bal? lot. This election is very important in Its future political significance, and, un? fortunately for us, that significance is un? favorable to the Democratic party. That the State would go Republican all well informed persons expected, but those whose sympathy led them to look for the best. for tho Domocracy hoped tho ma? jority would be small, which wonld have kopt the State of Ohio in doubt] in the Presidential canvass next year. The Re? publicans have, howtver, increased their majority to about four times what it was In the last Presidential election, and the State may now be counted as surely Re? publican next year as either Vermont or Iowa. It has also retired the acknowl? edged leader of tho Democratic party in tho Senate, Judge Thunnan, to private life, and given to the Republicans a gain of ono in that body. It has killed off the aspirations of Senators Th?r man and Pendleton, and of Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana, for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency, and, indeed, we may say that it has destroy od tho prospect of any "Wcstorn man for receiving such a nomination, for it has demonstrated the correctness of tho position assumed last spring by several of the Southern papers, among which was the Iktelligesceb, that the judicious political alliance for tho South is not with the Northwest, but with the North and East. Tho West has been steadily Republican sinco 1860. In? diana is the only Northwestern State that has votod for a Democratic Presidont du? ring this period, and the vote of the 14th in Ohio and Iowa shows that there is to bo no change in the sentiment of this sec? tion towards tho South, and we are driven by the conduct of the West to a return to that alliance, which is the only possiblo one, and which is at tho same timo the surest and safest for us. The States of Now York, Connecticut, Now Jersoy and Delaware are naturally Democratic States, and with reasonably good man? agement they can bo carried by this party In 1880. Another result of tho Ohio elec? tion is to settle the currency question permanently in favor of hard money, and the "Ohio idea" of inflation of tho paper currency has been very securely buried. It will not play an important factor in our. future politics. Taken alto? gether, the battle in Ohio is a Republican triumph of no small magnitude, and one which will be difficult for the Democratic party to overcome, even with success in New York, without which the Proeiden- J tial race will scarcely bo interesting at all to the Democrats next next year. The campaign in Obio was hard fought and well considered. The defeat will, to a certain extent, demoralize tho Democ? racy, and unless this demoralization is more than compensated by prudence and sagacity on the part of the Democratic party, we may considor tho campaign of next year as lost in advance- of the fight. THE HOMESTEAD LAW. The decision of the State Supreme Court, holding that persons not owning real estate and having a homestead there? on are entitled to .no exemption from levy and sale of their crops and personal proporty under execution for dobt, is creating a very general dissatisfaction throughout the upper portion of the State, and if not corrected will probably be drawn into the political canvass of next year. The decision has evoked from many very respectable tenants the assertion that they will not vote the Democratic ticket again. This, of course, is wrong, and those who make it do not duly consider the facts of the caso. The law under which this decision is made was passed by the Republicans, and the. decision itself was written by the Chief Justioe, who is a Republican. It is not the act of a Legislature, which is the rep? resentative of the successful party at the polls, but is the decision upon a question of law by a Court, which is not a political body. We think the decision an unfor? tunate one. It is provocative of class dissensions, and is subject to aU^pf tho odium and discontent which unfair and unreasonable discriminations against one class and in favor of another class are sure to elicit. This decision holds that the man who Is fortunate enough to possess one thousand dollars worth of land cannot bo made to pay his debts by execution, bnt that tho less fortunate tenant, who perhaps has nothing but a little household furniture, a mule and a large family dependent upon him for its support, can be sold out to satisfy the demands against him. It seems to us that this will be generally admitted to bo wrong. The homestead ought to bo abolished as to all, or it ought to extend its provisions over all. Tho doctrine that to him that has much moro shall be given, and from him that hath little that which he hath shall be taken away, is a very good doctrine, so far as it relates to the moral qualities of man, bnt it will scarcely bo contended that it is a good principle to engraft into the laws of the land relating to the material posses? sions of men.' It is, however, exactly the doctrine made of force in South Caro? lina under the decision above quoted. For this, however, the Democratic party is in no wise responsible, for it did not make the Constitution or the law, and citizens do vory wrong to make threats against the Democracy on account of a law with which it has no connection whatever. Neither landowners nor ten? ants can afford to allow the Democratic party to pass ont of power in this State, for the rings and corruptions of the past warn us of the .oppressions that will j again be heaped upon us if Republican- ] ism should ever triumph in South Caro-1 lino. The inconvenience and hardship created by this decision can be as easily corrected by the Democratic party as by any other, and we believe' that it will be done. The Legislature at its coming ses? sion should submit a constitutional amendment to the people making the homestead provisions applicable to every citizen of the State, whether he be rich or poor, whose necessities shall require him 1 o take advantage of it. We believe this will be done, and that this trouble, of which those who are independently disposed hope to make an apple of dis? cord in the Democratic party, will be settled before the demagogues bave a j chance to misrepresent and distort it, j Iff the meantime, we say to the whole I people that they should stop giving a po j litical complexion to the question. APPEALING TO THE COUNTRY. : When the Democrats in Congross did not have the pluck to inaugurate Presi? dent Tilden after the people elected him in 1876, they palliated their cowardice by saying they would appeal to the voters of the-country to vindicate the purity of the American ballot. The appeal was made, and under it we lost the States of New Jersey and Connection t, with about thirty Congressmen from different parts ! of the country. Then the Democratic 1 Congressmen, and by the way it was tho same Congross which so valiantly did not inaugurate Tilden, decided that they [ would at least put a stop to the use of ; troops at the polls and abolish the test I oath "of United States jurors, and other? wise regulate the government in accord? ance with the usages of the fathers. Tho Republican Senate did not consent to these changes readily, and the complica? tions which arose necessitated tho extra session, which was organized lost spring with the Democrats in control of both houses of Congress. They passed certain wholesome laws, making the appropria? tions dependent upon them. President Hayes, who had frequently voted for laws passed exactly in the same way, vetoed those bills, and tho Democrats yielded thoir position as agreeably as a school boy stops his disorderly conduct when tho master threatens tho uso of a little birch. Again they appealed to the country to give them courage, and from present appearances this appeal will bo treated like the preceding one. It has already lost us Ohio by an overwhelming majority, and has dispirited the party everywhere. It is about timo for tho Democrat! 3 Congressmen to do some? thing before they appeal to the country for vindication. Their course up to this time has been a miserable piece of cow? ardice, which has inspired a contempt for the organization. If tho party had per? formed some act, that wonld bo a tbemo j on which to appeal to the voters, but it is ridiculous for Congressmen to prate this nonsense of an "appeal to the people," because they were too timid to do any thing themselves. It Is like asking the people to say what Congress must do, as if tho Democratic majority did not have j the sense to decide that question for themselves. It shows a timid, weak and vascilating mind, which is tho exact equivalent of failure in politics. Wo truly hope that if tho next session of Con? gress has not the brains or the nervo to attend to the business for which they were elected, that they will at least spare us the infliction of any moro appeals to the country. Grant said some years ago that it made no difference what mistakes the Repub? licans make they can certainly count on I the Democrats making biggor ones, and in the light of the past we oro inclined to believe thoro was truth in tho utterance. It is to be hoped, howovor, that wo have been so badly whipped by our mistakes that wo will henceforth bo moro careful, and that tho Democratic comedy of orrors has been ended by the recent explosion of tho "Ohio idea" and tho wild schemes and notions involved in it. The Tilden "boom" is on tho rise. The general belief hi that ho was oloctod Pres? ident in 1876, and that ho will bo elected again in 1880. Tho killing off of Wostorn candidates for the Presidency has brought tho race down to a contest botwecn Tilden, Han? cock and Bayard in tho Democratic par? ty, with about evon chances from prosent appearances. If tho Ohio defeat will have the effect of securing tbo nomina? tion of Senator Bayard wo will not be very sorry that it occurred, for we be liovo that ho will be elected if he secures tho nomination, and ho would mako the greatest and host Prosident tho govern? ment has had since tho day of Jefferson. A gentleman, a statesman, a patriot, a eitizon without reproach, ho would poll tho voto of his own party, and of the more respectable element of tho Ropublican party. Simple in his mannor, candid in his lifo, consistent and pure in his long political careor, ho presents a character that would rally around him tbo enthu? siasm of tho true sons of liborty in America, and socuro his triumphant elec? tion. Tho party would not be called on to explain his course or to apologize for his actions. The finger of suspicion could not rest on him in anything. His life has been above socrocy. Ho has no plots, no speculations, no combinations to fettor or embarrass him, and thcro is no man tho Republicans can nominate who can begin to comparo with him in integrity of character or in consistency of record. If thore is any discretion and foresight left in tho Democratic party, Bayard is the coming man. He is stron? ger in New York than Mr. Tilden, and can carry Now Jersey and Connecticut, with perhaps one or two other Northern States. The South would support him obeorfully, and if any Wostorn States can be carriod he is tho man who can do it. If tho people can force the politicians back and oxorcise their will, Senator Bayard will be our next President. A greater and more patriotic truth was never announced in so pointed and concise a manner as in tho following ex? tract from a speech of Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, to an audience in his State which he was addressing upon the politics of the day. He presented the evils of the sectional issues raised by the Republicans in the following terms, which are so plain that he who runs may read and understand: How are we to insuro a market for what we produce in the future? Can we do it by causing divisions among our own people, and by arraying one section of tho country against anothor, by flaunting the 'bloody shirt' and crying down with the 'Confederate Brigadier?' Or shall wo recognize the fact that the actual market for our manufactures Is in the South, and aid to restore our own market by restoring unity, peace, and good government throughout tho whole country? The only security for a con? tinuance of the period of prosperity now about breaking upon our Pennsylvania industries is to be found in restoring the wholo country to tho condition of one prosperous and united: people. We of Pennsylvania are moro interested in this question than any other section of the republic, lor we are tho workshop of the republic. The true protection for Penn? sylvania's industries is in the restoration of peace and good fellowship to all." The Torktown Centennial. Philadelphia, October 18. The assembly of Governors, to airange the details of the centennial anniversary of the surrender of the English army at York town, met for organization this morning. Governors Anderson of Con? necticut, Holliday of Virginia, Hoyt of Pennsylvania, Simpson of South Caroli? na, Hall of Delaware, Carroll of Mary? land, and Col. Lincoln, representing Governor Talbot of Massachusetts, woro present. The address of welcome was responded to by Governor Andrews of Connecticut. Governor Holiday, of Vir? ginia, was chosen president of the meeting, and Col. Lincoln secretary. Tho moet ing then adjourned to Indopen lenco Hall. Upon assembling in Independence j Hall, Mayor Stock ely addressed tho Governors, welcoming them to the city. Governor Carroll, of Maryland replied. Governor Hoyt then extended a welcome in behalf of the State, . to which Governor Holliday responded in a bril? liant speech, frequently interrupted by applause. Governors Hall, Jarvis and Simpson, and Col. Lincoln, all spoke in grateful terms of the reception they bad received and the opinion was freely ex? pressed that the success of the York to wn celebration would have a powerful ten? dency to bring about unity of thought and. feeling between tbo North and South. Governors Hoyt, Simpson and Holli? day were appointed a committee on reso? lutions, and the first named reported tho following, which was adopted : Resolved, That we, tho Governors and representatives of the original Colonies, convened at Independence Hall in Phil? adelphia, this 18th day of October, 1S79, knowing that the purpose for which we havo assembled meets the hearty appro? bation of our constituents, do hereby commend to tbo people of tho United States such a celebration of the Centenni? al anniversary of tho surrender of Corn wallis at York town as shall befit tho his? torical significance of that event and the present greatness of the nation. Resolved, That a committee of one from each State, to bo nominated by tho Gov? ernors thoreof, of which committee Gov? ernor Holliday shall bs chairman, be ap? pointed to make proper arrangements for such celebration. Tho mooting then adjourned. Philadelphia, October 19.?The re? ception of the Governors has beon a con? tinuous ovation. Governor Simpson's response to the welcome at Independence Hall and his speech in the evening to vast crowds in front of tho Continental Hotel wore enthusiastically cheered. His expression that "all wo neod to realize 1 tho grand possibilities of tho future of this great country was a closer intimacy and intermingling of tho niasos of the j people of the various States, forgotfuluoss of the past, and unity and harmony on the part of the whole American people," was received with the wildest storm of repeated applause, lasting fully fifteen minutes. Iiis sontimonts of good will and brotherly fooling from tho people of tho hind of Sum tor and Marion nave ex? cited tho warmest feeling of tho people generally, and congratulations have poured in upon him from all parties. ? On tho 4th of November I oxpect to celebrate my birthday, and if I am elec? ted Governor tho celebration will bo ad? ditionally bright; but if I am not elected the fact will take very little away from tho chcorfulness with which I shall com moinorato tho natal fostivity.?Gov. Robin? son. ? Let us hear no more about "Confed? erate Brigadiers" and "voting as you shot." Ohio heartily admires "bravo Union soldiers" in tho "off years, but when it comes to voting for them sho bogs to bo excused, and casts hor ballot for a man who "saved tho Union" with his yard stick. In tho light of Tuesday's election tho hypocrisy of Republican pretensions in this regard becomes as clear as day.?Charlotte Observer. ? The Franklin (Ga.) Register says that one day last week a lady by tho name of Hinos, living seven or eight miles below town, on the west sido of tho river, gavo her little child an empty match box to I play with. Tho child was about oighteen months old, and Unding some water in a pan, the littlo follow tilled tho match box with water from tho pan and drank freo ly of it. In a short time tho mother no ticed something wrong with her child, and immediately sent for a physician, who did all he could to combat tho effect of tho poison, but to no purpose, and tho unfortunate child died. ? Dr. Farris, of LaFayctto, relates to tho editor of tho Summervillo (Ga.) Ga? zette a singulnr coincidence, which occur? red n fow days since, four miles this sido of tho village. Miss Wilson, an elderly lady, while out at tho cow pen, by some mishap fell over a rail and broke tho cap of her thigh bone, and sent soon thereaf? ter for hor sister, Mrs. Groor, of Hart county. Mrs. Groor went out next morning to perform tho soino work, and had tho mislortune to fall over tho same rail, breaking a bone just at tho satno placo as her sister.

Edgefield Monitor: It will doubtless be a matter of surprise to many and a source of regret to all of his many frionds in South Carolina to learn that Dr. Fur man, the eminent divine and for sereral years past tho boloved pastor of the Johnston and Ridge Spring Baptist Churches, together with tho kind hearted and Christian Mrs. F., contemplate moving to Texas, where thoy have sov eral sons residing, and in whose familios chey will make their future homes. About 1 o'clock on Thursday last, Mr. J. W.

Lancaster Ledger: A colored woman, known as "old Aunt Phoebe Dunlap," aged 110, died on the 6th instant, at Mr. J. N. Taylor's plantation. She was born in Africa, and was brought to this coun? try when a young woman. She knew "Mars George Washington," Gen. Jack? son and other noted men of the Revolu? tionary war.A desperato right occurred on last Sunday in the upper portion of Buford Township, in this county, bo tween a number of colored persons. It seems that Alexander Caston was at? tacked by three colored men, Ben, Georgo and Dock Fundorburk. Caston's wife came to his assistance with an axo, when the axo was wrenched from her and sho was knocked down. Caston then went for Bon with his knife and cat him severe? ly in several places. Caston then ran but was over taken by the two brothers of Ben and would havo been killed had not other parties happened upon the spot in tho nick of time. Hampton Guardian: Wo learn that Mr. Pig Sullivan was shot and killed by Mr. Capo Bowers at the store of Mr. Miles Loadholt, near Barker's Mill, in Barn well County, under tho following cir? cumstances : It seoms that a quarrel took place between Sullivan and Bowers somo time ago on account of Bowers abusing the mother of Sullivan. Bowers was heard to say before going to the above store that ho would kill Sullivan, and on meeting him thero ho said, "I am tho best man on tho ground," when Sullivan replied, "I am a man, too," and was im? mediately shot by Bowers. Sullivan died on Monday last. Bowers has not yet boon arrested. ?
