E. B. MURKAY, Editor, THUK3DAY IiORNING, OCT. 28, ?870." WHAT BLOODHOUNDS O AN IH>. j - " ' ' ' . T . Homo two weeks ago Mr. John Thomas Hutlor, of Hamburg, S, C. carried a pack of bloodhounds to Kew York and a no gro for them to channinCsntvsl Park, for tho purposo of exhibiting tho powers of his dogs, .which ho did very r.Auqh to tho interest of large crowds of spoctatorsjon Eovoral occasions. This trivial matter waa, however, too good an opportunity ? to lot slip, and tho stalwart Repnbltcan press lias been heralding it abroad with tho startling nows that there aro hounds of thL, character in ovory neighborhood through tho South, and that tho poor ne groes are chasod and to:? by thom at the merey and caprice of the lawless whites. Straugo OM it may seem, it ls said that this bas recelvod the credence of many intelligent persons, whoso common sense, if thoy havo no more immediato Informa tion, should hayo taught thom that lt ls a' mtBorablo political falsehood. AH a matter of fact, theso dogs would be as much a matter of wonder and curi osity in Anderson as they were In Cen tral Park, for thoro ia not a .bloodhound in Anderson County, nor In tho upper part of the State, that wo kno?7 or havo heard ot Tho freak which Induced Mr. Butler to go to ITow York immediately beforo tho oloctlons for tho purpose of making this exhibition, indicates to our mind that ho has boon mado tho dupo of U political intrlguo. Ho waa paid to go to New York, and since his exhibition of bia dogs he has boen offered 9150 por night to"go with a troupe playing "Unelo Tom's Cabin," for tho purposo of Intro ducing his dpgB in ono of tho scone*'. It ia, th rc fore, panning out. well for Mr. John Thomas Butler, although ho ls giving riso to very great and Injurious tnlsrop resontatloua of his section of the Union. Ho ls no doubt satisfied, but tho pooplo of the State and ot tho Democratic party will probably feel Uko Mr. Butler's prop^ Or place is ut homo. '?'11 ic DESEOOBAXIC SITUATION. Now York is now tho pivotal State In politics, and wo arc vory much Inclined to predict that na Now York "goes BO goos tho Union." If itsh?uld g? Ropbb lican, thou tho stalwart candidato wilt bo tho uoxt Proaidout, b.ut if u?o result ls favorable to tho Democrats, thou wo havo decidedly tho hotter of tho two cbancOs for tho Presidency. In tho campaign of "1870 wo lost South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida, or 10 votos from tho South, --which wo oro B?ro to got In th ? uoxt .can-, vasa, BO that wo will havo 188 Sbuthorn votes . for tho bomooratlo Presidont, which loaves us only 47 more to got In tho North -and West. If wo carry N-w York wo havo 85, and moy count with reosonablo certainty ?upon 0 from Now Jersey, 0 from Connecticut and 15 from Imllana, which would bo2t J ont BOO, or 10 moro votes than enough to elect, BO that wo may oven loao/,Now Jorsoy ' and Connecticut and still oloct tho Presidont, or, carrying them, wo may Iouo Indiana andsuccocd. Tho lota of Ohio, therefore, is not ao crushing Ito Domooratlo pros* poota us tho Republicans pretend. The1 only point gained really by tho Republic cons In carrying Ohio ? to "moko lt neces sary for us to carry Wow York, which would not have boon indispensable if wo hal carried Ohio. lu othor words, tho ItopubllcaUH lu carrying Ohio havo on?y hold their own in tho electoral college.

It has killed off tho aspirations of Senators Thurman and Pendleton, and of Gov.

Tho dofoat will, to ? certain extent, demoralize the Democ racy, ' and unless this demoralization ls moro than compensated by prudoneo and sagacity on the part of tho Domocratio party, wo may consider tho campaign of noxt year as lost In advance of tho flgtri TUE HOMESTEAD LAW. Tho decision of tho Btuto Supremo Court, holding that poisons not owning real catato ?nd having nhomestead there on aro entitled to.no exemption from lovy and salo of their crops and porsonal proporty undor execution for dob*, ls croating a vory gonoral dissntlsfaction throughout the upper portion of tho Ktato, and If not corrected will probably bo drawn into tho political canvass of noxt yoar. Tho decision han evoked from many vory rospootablo tenants tho assertion that they will not voto tho Domocratio ticket again. This, of com HO, .is wrong, and thooo who mako it do not duly consider tho foots of tho COHO. Tho law undor which thia docialou la made wan passed by tho Republicans, and the decision itself was written by the Chief Justino, who ls a Republican. It ia not tho act of a legislature, which is tho rep resentativo of tho successful party at tho polls, but is thc Jocislon upou a question of law by a Court, which 1.". not a political body. Wo think tho decisi?n an unfor tunate ono. It la provocativo of class dissensions, and is aubjoot to all of tho odium and discontent which unfair and unreasonable discriminations against ono class and in favor of another class aro euro to elicit. Thia decision holds that tho mau who ls fortunato onough to possoss. pne thousand dollars worth of land cannot bo modo to pay bia dobts by oxooutlon, but that tho leas fortunato tenant, who perhaps baa nothing but a lltllo houcohold furni'.uro, a mulo and a largo family dopoudont upon him for Its support, can bo Hold out to satisfy tho demanda ngaltiHt him. lt scorns to Us that thia will bo gonorally admitted to bo wrong. Tho homestead ought to bo abolished an to all, or it ought to extend Its provision? over nil. Tho doctrino that to him that has much moro shall bo givon, and from him that hath little that which ho hath shall bo tel:on OWay, ia a vury gOOu u?Ctrii??, BO far SS lt relates td tho moral qualities of man, but it will Bcnrcoly bo contended that it ls a /;ood principio to engraft into tho laws of tho lund relating to tho material posses sions of mon. It la, howovor, oxaotly the doctrino modo of force In South Caro lina undor tho decision above quoted. For this, howovor, tho Domocratio party ls in no wiso rosponslblo, for lt did not make tho Constitution or tho law, and oitizons do vory wrong to mako threats I against tho Democracy on account of a law with which it hos no connection Wbatovor. Neither landowners nor ton 'ants can afford to allow tho Domocratio party to pass ont of power in this State, for the rings and corruptions of tho pant wara ns of tho .oppressions that will again be heaped upon ns If Republican ism should ever triumph in South Caro lina, Tho inconvenience and hardship created by this decision can bo as cosily corrected by tho Domocratio party as by any other, arid wo bollovo that will be done. Tho Iroglslaturo at ita cr' ag ses sion should submit a epa iutloual muondmont to the peoplo un...inrr the homosiead provisions applicable to ovory citizen of tho State, whothor he bo rich or poor; whoso necessities shall require him to talto advsntsgo of lt. Wo believe this Will bo done, and that thia tronido, Of which those who aro Independently disposed hopo to moko an npplo of dis cord in the Domocratio party, will bo sottlod boforo tho d?magogues bayo o chanco to misrepresent and distort it. In tho meantime, ws say to tho whole people that they should stop giving a po litical complexion to tho question. ATl'EAXJLNG TO THIS COlTNT.itY. j When tho Domoorats. in Oongross did not have the pluck te inaug?ralo Presi dent Tilden nitor tho people elected bim in'1876, .they palliated tho'J- cowardice by saying thoy would apps ti to tho voters of tho country to vindica ?otho purity, of the American ballot. Tito appeal wes made, and undor it wc last the States.of Now Jersey and Connecticut, with about tlilrty Congressmen from dlfforont parts of tho country. \ ' Then it v Demooftttlo Congressmen, and by tho way lt was tho same Congroas which so valiantly old not Inaugurate Tild?n, decided that thoy would at least put a ?top to tho uso of troops at tho polls and abolish tho teat oath of United Statos jurors, and other wise regulato tho government ia accord ance with the usages bf tho fathers. Tho R?p??mCa?i Sei???? div', iiut consent tO thcso.cha~<res readily, and tho complica tiona which arose necessitated tho extra session, which was1 organized last spring with the Domoorats, lu control of both houses of Congress. Thoy passod certain wholosomo.lswB, making tito appropria tions dependent upon them. President Hayes, who had frequently voted for la*?s passod exactly tn tho Barrio way, vetoed these bills, and tho Domoorats yielded tholr position as agreeably ai n school boy stops his disorderly conduct, whon tho toaster threatens tho uso of t\ little birch. Agola they appealed to the country to glvo thom courage, and from ?resent appearances this appeal will bo treated like tho preceding one. It has already lost us Ohio by sit overwhelming majority, and, has dispirited tho party overywher. ' it' is about timo for tho Domocratio .Congressman to do some thing before thoy appeal to tho country for vindication. Thoir course up to thia ?mo hos been n miserable piece of cow ardice, which lute inspired a contempt for the organization. If ibo parky LMOL per formed some act, that would bo a theme on which io appeal io the voters, but ii ia ridiculous for Congressm?? to prcto thia nohBonse of an "appeal to tho peoplo *' because they were too. timid to do c: ?? thing themselves. . It ls Uko 'asking tb<t peoplo to say what Congress must doy' u if thoDomocratl^iuRjority did ?ot hey* tho eepoo to decide that question foi themselves. It shews R timid, weak and vasellating mind, which ia the exact cqulvatouf of failure-in politics. Wc truly hope thai if tho noxtBcs?lon of Con gress has not tho brains of tho uervo ic altona to the bualncss for which they were cloded, that they will at least ?parc UR tho infliction of any moro appeals tc tho country. . .' Grant said sonio years ago that it made no difference what mistakes the repub licans make : thoy cap certainly count er the Domoorats malting bigger ones, otic" in tho light of the past wo aro Inclined tc believe' there was truth in the utterance It is to be hoped, however, that Wo bav< been ne badly whipped by our talatak?n that wo will henceforth bo more careful, eris that tho Democratic ceyn ody of erro nj hos been euded by me.ioooui explosion of tba "Ohio idas" nnd tho wild ?chemc? and notions involved In li. Tho Tilden "5???" ls on tho rbo. Th? sroncnil belief ls that ko wo? elected Pres sent In 1S7?, and that ho will bo plcwtod ??gain in 1880. Tbo killing off of Western candidates for tho Presidency bas brough*, tho race down to a contest hotwoon Tild?n, Han cock and Bayard in tho Democratic par ty, with about ovon chances from present appearances. If tho Ohio defeat will have tho effect of securing tho nomina tion of Senator Bayard wo will not be vory sorry that it occurred, for wo bo Uovo that ho will bo elocted if bo eocuros tho nomination, and ho would inako tho greatest aud boat Prosident the govern ment hos had since tho day of JeiTorson. A gentleman, n statesman, a patriot, a citizen without roproach, ho would {toll tho vote ofhis own party, and of the moro rospoctablo element of tho Kopubllcan party. Himplo in lils inannor, candid In his lifo, consistent and puro In lila long political careor, ho prexonts a diameter that would rally around him the enthu siasm of tho truo hons of lihorty in America, and socuro hin triumphant elec tion. Tho party would not ho called on to explain his course or to apologize for his actions. Tho fingor of suspicion could not rest on him in anything, lils Ufo has boon abovo sccrocy. Ho has no plots, no speculations, no combinations to fetter or oinbarraau him, and thcro ls no mau tho Republicans can nominate who can begin to comparo with him In integrity of character or In consistency of record. If thoro is auy dlitoroMon and foroulght le. In tho Domocratio party, Ilayard is 'ho coming man. Ho la stron ger In Now York than Mr. Tilden, and can carry Now Jorsey and Connecticut, with perhaps ono or two other Northorn States. Tho South would support him cheerfully, and if any Western States can bo carried ho ls tiio mau who can do it. If tho pooplocan force tho politicians back and oxorciso their will, Senator Bayard will bo our ncx; President. A greater and moro patriotic truth was never announced in eo pointed aud conciso a manuor as in tho following ex tract from a spooch of Sonator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, to an audience in his Slate which he wus addressing upon the politics of the day.
