'.Edsofield Hoe? Ko* Betons to Gary or fl alby otUor Mao." ?arrtipondence Neut and (hurter, EnauPiBLD. P. C., May 1. People outside of Edgclleld were es toniebed sad somewhat bewildered by the announcement made a few days ago that Gen. M. W. Garv, candidate for the Democratic nomination for the Gover nors seat, bsd been defeated here in his own club In RU election for delegates to the County Convention, which w?!i elect delegates to tbe Bt*>te Convention, wbic'j will nominate the Governor, inquiry shows that the announcement was accu rate, and furthermore that it was the avowed intention of Gea. Gary's success ful opponents to elect delegates who would oppose sending delegates to the: State Convention to support him. The volo in the club meeting was 48 to 22-, more than two td one. As be hns ni ready stated, be was absent at tho time, and it | is certain that his opponents managed well, having arranged to concentrate their strength and employ it to the best ad var.? tage,- But it seem' to be generally ad mitted that even . > an open ana pre arranged contest i i, would have been de feated bera. ' Farther Investigation shows tbat there ls an opposition to bim in various sec tiona of the . county that is apparently strong, and may be characterized as bit ter,' Whether Its strength is sufficient te send him into tbs rats -rith the htavy load of a hostile delegation in bis own county, cannot bo definitely ascertained until the County Convention meets ou Monday. Those who opposo bim are apparently confirV-.t that they will have strength enough in that Convention to send a delegation entirely or partially composed or opposition delegates. His supporters profesa equal confidence of the election of a solid Gary delegation without trouble, and claim tbat Ta an open fight beforo tho people ho could : overwhelm any opposition. They state that all of tho strength of the movement against him constata in ita thorough or ganisation secretly made. . They are correct in their idea of tho organization of the party, which. for lack of a bettor haine'ls christened " Anti-Gary." Iel seems to have taken the Gary party by surprise, and to have done its work with a. rapidity and ease tbet could only re-, suit from, organisation, is the township club here, for inBtancu, its existence docs not peera to have been suspected dntil its candidates were nominated in the club meeting an.1 elected by a voto of two to one.. There are thirty clubs in tho coun ty entitled to from three to six delegates in tho County Convention each. Tho following is tho result of thoir elections for.delegates as confidently stated to me hero, although I do not give it aa being Strictly, accurate: Gary.,.26 Anti-Gary...42 Doubtful. 4. Tho truth of tho report from Moss Towm-hip Club is denied, ondit is doubt ful. Tho Meeting Street Club ls report* ed to have instructed its delegates by resolution to oppose'Gen. Gary, and it is stated hore that two dabs on 'ho Saluda side of the county, in tho neighborhood bf Gen. H?good's plantation, have given positivo instructions to their delegates to support that gentleman. I am told, also, that thc Itidgo Spring Club held an elec tion on Inst Saturday and sent an equally divided delegation, but bad another elec tion to-day, an informality having .oc curred in the previous one, the result of which la unknown. Tho delegates from the Denny's Cross Hoads Club, elected to-day, are also confidently claimed by 1 tbe anti-Gary men. ? Tho.above figures and statements wore collected from several persons, some of whom were supporters aud some onpoaera of Gen, Gary. It is exceedingly difficult to form oven an approximate idea of the composition of .the convention from these figures, ss,, even.if they are accurate, changes sud exchanges may occur that will defeat all calculations. Both sides seem to bo equally confident and equally In the.dark ns regards- figures; . But it seems certain that there will be a vigo rous fight in,thc convention agaiust Gen. Gary, andposaiblOj tossy the least,' that ^?.may lose his own count?* His friends say that evon tn that event tho result will bo of no genera] political significance, the fight BURI nat him heine purely a personal one. I am informed, however, that almost all of tho white men wb ? supported the bolting or indo* pchdw.it ticket, in the recent municipal election supported Gen. Gory intho elec tion in tho Democratic club for dolegato to the convention, and. that this state ment was used against , him, and has doubtless injured him to sr.nio extent, it hoing charged that h* supported that movement.-. His denial of connection with, or countenance of it, may bring to bini some delegates who would nave opposed him. ', Bat tx considerable proportion of tho opposition to him is ? beyond doubt of a personal nature, and. it itt generally ad mitted. A man having ctn extensivo law praotice, epgaged iu raaay criminal trials and suits,, and participating in ideal pol* t&3y ,5??*ss?r?y makes enemies. But beyond this there ls certainly a sentiment favoring Hampton aud tho Hampton policy j and a feeling expressed in the rr?quently>a.vowod determination to "teach Ga?y that Edgcfioid don't belong to him or any other mon." Tbe General's friends vigorously repel i the ! Insinuation that ho usa any idea of ? becoming; an independent candidate?' I uti ?id? vvii??K, jr?xu iTiin* i.

The anti-Gory men seemed to becomo demoralised, while their opponents appa rently had effected a thorough organisa* tionj and agreed on a definite courso of ac tion. The first teat vote was upon the ehidr* ! mansbip of the convention in which D. B, Duriaoef the Gory candidate, was elected over J. R. Carwile (anti-Gary) by a vote of ninety to. sixty.

The delegation, therefore, ie solid for Gary. Mean*. Brooks, Denny and Bonham were elected alternates with out opposion. Some otk. Jt business was then trans acted, including thc election of nix Till man delegates to the Congressional Con vention. Contrary to capitation no wrangling or Ml feeling was manifested and the utmost good humor and harmony pre vailed. Both parties seem satisfied { the Gary men with their victory, and the others with having (as they express it) "made Gary show hi? hana." There is no doubt that Gary's speech and the previous assurances given by bis friends gained him many votes in the Conven tion that would otherwise have been cast against him.

Elliott, the Chairman of tho Stoi'e Exec ! utive Committee. E. W. M. Mackey of Charleston, I). D. McCall. Jr. of Marlboro', W. A. Mayne of Marion, arid Robt. (Smalls of j Beaufort, were proposed for the position I of temporary chairman. Smalls, Hoyne and McCall declined tho nomination in favor of Mackey, who wea elected tem* porary chairman as per programme .pre viously agreed upon. ?larry Noah wai then elected temporary secretary. A committee on credentials, witii June Mobley, of Union, as chairman., was next appointed, and alter adopting tho rula ot the House of Representatives as th? rales of the Contention, an adjcurnmerii until 2:30 p. m. was agreed to. The Convention consists of eigbty-twi negroes and thirty-six whites. * Th? Counties of Lexington and Horry fallet to send delegates, and there Were somi absentees ft oin other counties. Of th? negroes hearty one-third appear in thi I fraud committee's rrport as thieves ant bribe-takers, and tho While delegates with scarcely an exception, either aro, o j have been (and hope to be) Federa officeholders. In addition to the dele gates, there is a st.vfil army of hangers on who have swarmed in the lobbies al day. The doughnut stands, which bav< been conspicuously absent from the Stat House for som* years, re-appeared t< make the picture complete. Aa an evidenco of how Mr. Hayes civil service reform works in this State, note tbe presence in the Convention o nineteen office-holders in the revenue customs and postoUlce departments, nm besides this number there were severs United States officials dodging aroum the lobbies and through the aisles of tb hall looking after their interestai Th authorities in Washington may want t know the names of some of these official who have thus violated special orde Number 1. which positively forbids an Dorson holding office under the Unite States Government from taking an activ part in any political movement. From the revenue department thcr aro iu the Convention E. M. Braytor collector, G. P. Kirkland, spoclal deput collector, N. F. Meyers, clerk in interns revenue office, W. Kennedy, John I Scruggs, H. W. Hendricks, H.H.Jill soo and C. N. Cummings, deputy rev? nab collectors. From tho customs dt partaient are. R. B. Elliott, *;Roboi Smalls, Garrett Byrns, W. H. Birnie, I Gregorio,.M. A.

After some few changes wero made i tho delegates from somo of tho coontie: on account of tome of the delegates bi ipg absent, Shrewsbury, from Fairfield, mulatto who formerly held thc pani tic of confidential clerk of Woodruff an Jones, and assisted ia making up ti jonrnrV of the Houso ia the years ( good ...ealing, created a sensation h offering the following resoI?.'Mon': Hf solved, That tho delegates to repn sent the State- of South Carolina in th National Republican Convention to non inate candidates for the offices of Pres dent and vice-President of the Unite States are hereby instructed and solemi ly pledged to vote as a unit to the end < tho content for the world-renowned av most available of all candidates-Ge U, S.

He asked tho immediate considerate of the resolution. Elliott objected and demanded that be referred under the rules to the cor milico on resolutions. ' Whipper excitedly declared that tl resolutioa could not bo referred to tl committee on resolutions because no sui committee had been appointed. Mackey from the /Jair declared tb rules for the appointment of such a cor mitteo had been adv nted, and that tl resolution could properly be referred the committee when appointed Whipper rushed halfway to the chai man's desk, and excitedly declared th while the friends of Grant were willii to abide by any fair means, they wea not submit to bs choked cir tramp! upon, and they had rights as well as t chair, and they proposed to assert the He demanded the immediate conaidei tion of the resolution. The choir decided that the resolut! must be referred unless by unanimo consent. Shrewsbury appeale? from the decisi of the choir. Mackey .then tried the plan of sooth! matters by soft words. He sold ho ot desired to do what was fair, bat won oe Eoiled to act according to tho rules whl ad been adopted. Smalls then moved that the rules suspended by a two-thirds vote, and tl the resolution bo put en ita passa This waa agreed to-r-yeas 88, nay? 23. The resolution was then adopted wi but further fight. This was virtually test of the strength of the Grant mon the Convention. Tho point of inetrt lng the delegates was ono over whic big fight was expected, but not oxpec at tho time lt wis sprang. .:i Shrewsbury then offered the follow resolutioa, which was adopted with debate : ? l?tsolved, )5y tba Republicana of So Carolina in convention assembled., i we regard tho dastardly, fiendish outr perpetrated upon a representative, South Carolina In the Nation*.?

He waa glad t that the colored Republicana bf South Carolina were tn ak lng up their minds at. last Uial thous who had been instructing and advising them for the laat twelve years had done so tor the last time. He was surprised to see Mr. Corbin shoved upon the Convention for the purpose of securing votes by making a speech. V/hen tho party had gone under in 1876 Corbin left the State with great expedi tion, and never returned again until an election was in sight. As soon as an election was near at hand that gentleman bad come South again to try and play again upon tbe credulity of the colored people. He, for ono, was not willing to trust to Corbin's advice anv longer, and he Was glad to say that Ids people had teamed a lesson that they would not soon forget. When we have done with our business then we wiii hear these speeche*i if necessary. We don't Want to select men by any soft speeches that they may make to-night, but by their past record?. W. H. Purvis, the ex-adjutant gene:---?!, thought that Corbin couldn't do the Convention any harm by making a speech, and it was a reflection upon the decency of the body to insinuate that members of the convention could bb in fluenced by anything that anybody could say. If h? is a Republican, we need his advice. We are not here to pass upon anybody's record. Many of ur, bave otirselvt? made too much record. Corbin has held a prominent position be fore the Republicans of the country, and he thought it but simple juc' ico that be be accorded the privilege of addressing tho convention. J Very faint applause.] Deas thought it a reflection on him personalty that the Convention should refuse to near Corbin. The Convention, however, did not appear to be moved even by this consideration. Gloater Holland, a small-sized darkey from Aiken, moved that Corbin and all other candidates for the Chicago Con vention be heard from. Smalls thought that if that motion was carried tho whole Convention would have to be included. Pending the consideration of this mat ter, several persons were received into the Convention as delegates in lieu of parties who were appointed, nnd who were not present. Nothing more Was heard of Corbin or bli speech for the time being, and the Convention adjourned until 8 p. m. THE HIGHT SESSION. About 9 p. m. tho Convention was re convened, and Deas brought up his Cor bin scheme, again. He announced that he withdrew his motion requesting Cor bin to address the Convention, and took occasion to say to the ''Hydra-headed magnates." as he called them, who thought that they wera tho only ones in the Convention, that they could ill afford to cast reflection and dishonor upon such a man as Corbin ; a man like him in the Sreseat crisis in South Carolina wea in ispcnsabis. Corbin had been connected with - politics in tho State since it was possible for a Republican party to exist in the State, and if it bad not been for him there would bare been more Ham burg massacres in South Carolina. Sam Lee, colored, then moved that the Convention proceed to. elect four dele gates at large and two from each Con gressional district to represent the State in the National Convention at Chicago. C. C. Turner offered the following res olution as a substitute for Lee's motion : Unsolved, That this Convention do pro ceed to elect delegates to the National Republican Convention to meet ot Chicago In June, as follows: Elect the delegates first from the Congressional districts, commencing with District No. 1, and after tho. election of delegates from tho districts then that the Conven tion do elect four delegates at large. This substitute wau adopted. T> J Congressional districts bad all previou y held caucuses, and bad determined upon their respective delegates. The hirst Congressional District was then called, ni.d H. L. Shrewsbury, as spokesman for the district, offered the names of D. D. McCall, white, and W. . A. Hayne, colored, as delegates to repre sent the district. 4 . Deas came forward with a minority re port in favor of J. E. Wilson, of Darling ton, but the minority report was prompt ly voted down, and McCall and Hayne were unanimously elected!. The Second and Third Districts not being ready to report, the Fourth Dis trict wits taken up. C. C. Turner, of Spartanburg, offered the names of Sam uel Ti Pointer, of Spartanburg, white, and Wilson Cook, colored, of Greenville. June Mobley rose and took the middle of tho floor, i?.ud, with sleeves rolled up, .prepared to attack these nominations without gloves. He did not "are to draw tho color lino; it was drawn'already by tho demagogues. He thanked God that the day bad como when the colored neb" pie would throw off the masters who bad ruled them for twelve years and take care' of themselves. He was tired of keeping in office c set of good-for-nothing loafers, who did no work and lived off the credu lity'of the colored men. Tho time had come for the colored race to.shnn these men; that they had not been free for. twelve years for nothing. There has been no nominations in the Fourth Con gressional District. There had been nothing but gag law. These white 'men had led tho nigger to destruction long enough. He had two letters written by ott A. S. Wallace, in his pocket telling hi? friends in tho Nbrth that rho nigger; in South Carolina must bs kept down. If he bad anything more todo with white people be would go with the decent whito men bf the Stato. White men who rep resented the Fourth District io the Con vention, were not Io his opinion ' his equals in any way. C. C. Turber, who had tr?ade thc report for the district had betrayed the Democratic party, abd would betray tho Republican party if ho got a chance. Th? Republicana would gat sa foot after awhile, simply by the loaders.of the Democratic party.-but they were not ready tb KO in with the white men who represented the Republi can party today-. They had made thou sands or promises to the colored man thov they had never kept. They were tho kind of man wh? held their conventions in hotel?'because they knew that niggers; didn't gb to hotels in this part ortho country. The color Urie was drawn, and take hui word for it. when the tima cama for a State Convention to nominate State officers there wouldn't bc 10 white Rc Irablicans In th? Stato. They will say it s inexpedient as soon as they get what they want They will say it fe no use to ran a Bute ticket, because th? Democrats will. rob ' you of your vote*. I am ashamed of myself for ever supporting such men. 1 am tired of these men. No wonder the Democrats say that the nig gers are not able to govern themselves, when thuy sclec. to govern them ev-* ill begotten white men a? yon . see v fore you to-nlgVi. You elect tfies? Trh??e men to the National Convention and you won't se? them again. -When they meet you on the st?cst ssd sebedy is looking they "daran tho Democrat?;" but the next thing yon know you see them walk ing arra in arm with s Democrat, and saying "these d-=-n niggers want to put, on too many airs, they want to rise up." We must elect people that will suit us. The day is coming, and thank God our people will rccoxnire men and manhood. We should teach these gents that we are the Republican party in tJouth Carolina, and that we don't ptoposc to remain Jin slavery any longer. If yon look into the papero yon will aseall these men Maying Hampton was a good man. They tbougnt they would fool him as they have fooled us. . But, thank Ged. KS?? ion waa too erntete for them. Stand to <?ur manhood, colored men! Stand to gether. Every race on ?earth sticks to- ? gelber. Even tho stupid geese ulick to gether. Why should not wo stand by oar race? A few days ago these men wt*.re talking loudly for Grant and Sher man and Blaine, and now after wo phased that, rcoolution to-day they are silent Grant men, abd If you scud thea tr. Chicago they will self you out ?nd leave tho State until tbe n?;'.t election. He boped the Convention would not elect Polnier. He did not know what peni tentiary be bod como out of. They say we are not competent to represent tho State in tbe National Convention. Tbey have made us competent to put them in office, and wo can put ourselves in office just as well. There will be no white Re publicans in this State if you will take away tbe ?nices. They will do as Ensor and Stoibrand and lot? of others have done. You say you want to send a re spectable delegation, and yet you send such men as these barroom suckers, gam blers . .nd dissipated scoundrels to repre sent your people. The poor men in the Democratic party are making all the nominations. Why can't we do the same? Lawson, of Sumter, interrupted, and wanted to know if Mobley was going to keep up his blab all night? Morney courteously replied that Law son always bodbeen smulo-headedmule, but he thought be bad more sens'! than to interrupt a gentleman while speaking.' Clinton, of Lancaster, replied to Mob ley, and said that Mob Icy objected to the j nominations becauso be was not nomina I ted himself. The majority of the Con vention was not in favor of Mobley, and ? when he found it apparent that be was not the choice, he was opposed to any , nomination and retired in order to re I tard this Convention. Mobley said '.ie. had a letter from ?. d. Wallace, and ho asked bim to show it , Mobley handed tho letter to Clinton and asked him if he could read. Clinton banded it to A. 8. Wallace, when Mob ley told him that he wanted him fClin I ton) to read it and not his master. Clin ton said Mobley waa not the man to Top resent the Fourth district or any other, ! or any county in the district. The nomi nations made by the Fourth district cau cus were made after careful considera tion, and the men named are worthy in every respect of . the trust delegated to them. Thcv are the choice of tho Fou rth district, an ho appealed to the ' conven tion to sustain the nomination. C. W. Wade, of Union, nominated C. 0. Macoy, of Chester, which molle . was tabled. ; 'Mobley moved to strike out tho name of Polmer and submit the election of the other delegates to the convention. The motion was tabled. Gloater Holland, of Aiken, said that if the statements made by Mobley were true, and tbe letter shown by bim was a true copy of one written By Wallace, there waa some underhand trick to sell out the colored people, and it should be exposed and stopped. Ho waa io favor of .an .in vestigation. If Wallace wrote it, in God's name put him down. If ho was not guilty he ought to have justice done him. On motion of Whipper the debate was closed, and the report nominating Pom ler ana Cook was adopted. The second District was then taken up and Dunncmann offered tho names of C. C. Bowen and W. N. Taft of Charleston aa delegates, and W. H. Birnie and E. A. Webster as alternates. Elected without opposition. Fifth District was next taken up and Robert Smalls offered the nainea of W. J. Whipper of B~.ufort and W. F. Myora of.Colletin as dt.egates, and Fied Nix and Lawrence Cal in., as alternates. Elected without opposition. - The Third District next came up nnd H. H. Jillaori offered the names of C. M. Wilder and W. M. Fine of Columbia as delegates, and D. R. Phifer and H. O. Noan as alternates. Elected without op position. Tho four delegates at largo were elect ed one tit a time viva voce, tho folUowlng nominations < being . made :, E. W. i M. Mackey, Robert Smalls, E. M. Breton, A. 8. Wallace, C. C. Macoy, R. B. El liott, J. B. Tolbert. D. T. Corbb-, J. E. Wilson, D. A. Stroker and E. :\. Web ster. Tho following were declared, elect ed : "., E. W. M. Mackey, unanimously on the first ballot ; E. M. Brayton, of Aiken, on the second ballot, 65 votes; R. B. Elliott, of Aiken, on the firot ballot, 69 votes, (Corbin who ran against Elliott waa withdrawn after his defeat.) Sara Lee, of Sumter, on tho second ballot, 65 votes. Alternates at large, T. E. Miller, colored. Henry Kennedy, colored, C. C. Macoy, ol Cheater, D. A. Stroker, colored, of Orangoburg. The election of the delegation having bern completed, Miller, of Beaufort, moved that the resolution of-Shrewsburj in relation to the Whitaker outrage bc taken up and agreed to. ' After speeches by 'T. E. Miller, G, AV. Murray and D A. Stroker in favor, and by W. J. WLip per against the resolution, lt was moved by RB. Elliott to refer'the resolution tc a committee of five to prepara resolution! on the subject. '? Thia annoyed the originator of the res olution, and ? lively fight ensued. Th< resolution was finally referred to a cora mittee of fi vb, and the Convention ad jouined nt 1.80 a. m. to 6.80 a. m. Thurs day morning to receive tho report of thi committee. SECOND KAY'S. ' PROCEEDINGS. COLUMBIA, Thursday, April 29. Tho Convention met promptly at thi hour, appointed,, and the' firat matter b business introduced was. tho followiuj resolution, which was offered by 'Deas from Darli rig ton : M?otoed, That io case the name of U S. Grant is withdrawn'os" a candidate fo tho Presidency, or it becomes eviten that ho cannot bo nominated,' then th delegates from this State 'ie, and they or heroby, Instructed to vote' for Senate James G. Blaine, who is hereby, declare to be the second choice of the Republi cana of South Carolina. After corisideroblo diseus??ion, tho rose l?t?oo wa3 adopted by a'Vote of 51 to 4( The following resolutions in regard t the Whittaker outrage wero ndoptei after Bovsral hours of, bitter wranglio over several importantp^?t?tions : WheroaaJ tba u nmanly jana diaarr&cefti attack recently. r?ftdeojTC?det Wnlttak? at West Point merits roo condemnatio of the civilized world arid a speedy' an thorough investigation at the hands < the National Government, not only i order to dfeco'ver the parties comraittiii the outrage, but also to Investigate tl Emeral management, rules and reguli ona governing tho conduct, and duties i cadeli, one toward the other, without n gard to .color, Whereby a. radical chan?

Uttotvtd, That Ibis Con vention ex UM: ils heartfelt sympathy to Cadet Whit taker at Wait Point in bis recent suffer ing and trials, and rtconimrod bim to Bland firm, commanding justice with that dignity and firmness which has already characterized his conduct. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions be furnished to Cadet Whittaker. This subject being at last happily dis posed of, Stroker Offered the following resolution : Whereas, this Convention, lo ita repre sentative capacity, speaking for the Re publican party of South Carolina, has observed the increasing patronage which the Federal Government gives to the < Democrats, thereby aiding and abetting our enemies ; Resolved, That we recommend to the ? Republican authorities of the Federal Government to discontinuo this suicidal course towards the friends and workers of the Republican party. This resolution elicited quite an elab orate discussion, participated in princi Eally by Elliott, Lee, Smalls, Myers and dayton, and was finally adopted, after which the Convention adjourned sine die. If nothing had been said in the Con vention about the instruction of the delegation it is highly probable that they would have been very much divided, and would have voted as they pleased. But after the hot discussion and the attention which will naturally be attracted to their action they will probably vote for Grant on the first ballot and after that, or if Grant is withdrawn will vote as follows : Mackey, Hayne, McCall and Taft for Maine; Brayton, Elliott, Myers, Lee and Wilder for Sherman, and Fine, Bowen, Poinier, Cook and Whipper for Grant. This is how they stand now, but of course they may think otherwise under tho influence of strong political "light" when they reach Chicago. There is no telling. Corbin failed to appear in the Conven tion to-day, although another effoit was made by bis friends to give bim a chance to get off his little speech. He says he would rather stay at home than to go with Buch a crowd as haro been sent to Chicago._)? . _ DISGUSTED REPUBLICANS.-The News 'and Courier of Saturday has the follow ing: "in au interview yesterday with a leading member of the Republican party, and one whose words will be received as authority upon matters touching the state bf feeling in that party, a Reporter for the News and Courter was informad that Major D. T. Corbin, ex-United States District Attorney, ex-Congressman A. S Wallace, Major William E. Earle, for merly assistant Uuited States District Attorney, ex-A?torney-General Samuel W. Melton, Co!. John R. Cochran. ex Congressman Simeon Corley and others, who represented tho brain and courage of the Republican party in this State, are intensely disgusted with the compo sition and conduct of the recent Repub lican Convention held ot Columbia. They say that adversity has taught their party nothing. That tho same disrepu-. tablo crowd that ruled and disgraced tbei party in the post is as powerful and os rampant as over, and If they should again recover power in the State would again disgrace the party as heretofore. It hos leaked out since the adjournment of the Convention that the most respect able members of the bid porty . expected! to obtain- powerful moral support at least from tho North and West in the coming. canvass, and hoped, by thia means, that they might make some impression on the solid Democracy of South < Carolina. Thoy are now so utterly disgusted I that, in their present frame of mind, their friends at the North will best serve them by letting the black rebels in this State severely alone." ' v -;- ? t-j- . -V?| - A candidate for the ofilce"i>f re corder of Jasper County, Ohio, solicited votes on ?ho ground that, if elected, he would return half his salary to the pub lic treasury. He waa elected, but the Supreme Court has declared the election void, because tho inducement that he offered to voters was in the natara of a bribe. NEW GRIST M?LL.
