Fortunately no one was hurt, and the Democratic boom keeps grow? ing. "The enemy is ours." In voting see that the namo of each of the Hancock electors is on your ticket, for every vote will count, and any mis? take in this matter might give a part of tho vote of this Shite to Garfield. Ben Hill says that Senators Hampton and Bayard have defeated the Democratic par? ty. "Will the Georgia Senator show us how they did it, and particularly what Senator Bayard has done that was either unwise or indiscreet? _ Be particular to vote nothing but the regular Democratic ticket, and take it straight Any omission or scratching might give us some Republican State officers. True and good men in times like these vote for their country and not merely from personal considerations. Every citizen of South Carolina owes his whole influence and effort to his Slate in this hour of her extreme peril. No man of Carolina can afford to see her lose the reforms that have been effected. Therefore every one should turn out and vote the Democratic ticket on the second of November. The negroes fired into a Democratic torch light procession in Wilmington, Delaware, the other night and wounded several white, men without any excuse for doing so except that they were Dem? ocrats. A few more instances of this lawlessness North of the Potomac and the bloody shirt will be turned against the Republicans. It is now evident that the next Con? gress of the United States will be Repub? lican, and the independent voters noting this fact will be more than likely to make honors easy by electing a Democratic President. So long as the country dis? trusts both parties, as it evidently does, it will punish both by giving neither full control of the government. _ The New York Herald says that the Democrats are wondering what has struck them since the October elections, and volunteers the information that it is the "solid South" that has struck them. The Herald is mistaken. The South has struck no one yet, but will proceed to knock the bottom out of the Republican bucket on the 2nd of November. The Supreme .Court has decided the Simpson-Willard contested election case for the Chief Justiceship in favor of Judge Simpson. The opinion, which is very voluminous, was rendered by Judge Hudson, and is said to be one of the ablest, documents ever presented in our Courts. Tho opinion was filed on tbe 15th inst., and was concurred in by tho whole Court. Because you have nominated a County ticket for the Anderson Democracy, do not feel that you have discharged your duty to yourself or your State. It is im? portant to have tho County ticket elected, but eveu that is a matter of very little importance compared with the success of our Electoral and State ticket. It would 'bo better for oar wbole County ticket to bo beaten than for a single nominee on our Electoral or State or Congressional ticket to be left ont. It is. therefore, of the ut? termost importance for every citizen to vote and to vote the whole ticket straight. The success of the Republican party in Ohio and Indiana has decided the Na? tional Executive Committee to make a determined effort to break tho Demo? cratic solidity of the South. Their efforts will be directed mainly to the First, Sec? ond and Fifth Congressional Districts in this State, and the doubtful Districts in Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Florid ;, Tennessee and Mississippi. Sam. Lee, the representative on the Committee from this State, gave a picturesque ac? count of the situation in South Carolina at its meeting in New York last week, asserting that with proper efforts the Re? publicans could carry the State for Gar field and Arthur, and that their nomi? nees for Congress in the First, Second and Third Districts could also be elected. There is no doubt that the Republicans mean to exert their every effort this year in the'South, and it behooves the Demo? crats to not only to be on their guard, . but to work with all their energy and de? termination for the election of their Con? gressional and Electoral nominees. We should not lose sight of a single point, nor should we be the least discouraged by tho defeat in Indiana and Ohio, as there is a reasonable bpoe that at least tho first named of these States will go Democratic in November. Let there be work?de? termined, petslstent and untiring work ?and the battle for good government will be victorious. A very disastrous fire occurred in the city of Charleston on last Sunday after? noon in which abont $500,000 worth of cotton, real estate and shipping was de? stroyed, nearly all of which, fortunately, was covered by insurance. The fire originated on tho North Commercial wharf from a pipo or cigar, it is sup? posed, and before assistance could be obtained sufficient to extinguish the ,- flames they spread to "Vanderhorst wharf and to several steamships lying hard by. When first discovered tho firo was con? fined to a singlo bale, and if it had been during tbe week, when the streets and wharves are crowded with people, in all probability the burning balo might have been moved in time to avert the disaster. As it was, however, assistance could not be procured in time to prevent the spread of the flames, which as soon as they got once fairly started were soon driven by the strong wind with lightning rapidity 3q the mass of cotton in the sheds, and in ive minutes after the first alarm the firo was almost beyond control. Several se? rious accidents occurred during the day, me of which proved fatal, Mr. William Hinter, the second mate of the steam ship "Rcdford," being killed by a falling timber while directing tho work of ex? tinguishing tho flames that wero fast consuming his vessel. Just at this time the work of the fire is a heavier loss to Chaileston than it would have been at any other season of the year, as the ?wharfs destroyed were important to her cotton shipping interests. OHIO AND INDIANA. Tho October elections are over, and they have gone strongly against tho Democrats. It is a disappointment to many, but tho close observor for months past has seeu the evidence of shrewd, cunning and skillful- Republican work in Ohio and Indiana, which must have made him, however strongly he desired it otherwise, dread a Republican victory iu these States in October. Tho Demo? crats have as usual mado a good fight in each of these States, but tho Republicans have carried them, and the causes arc very easily noted. Tho Republicans havo conducted an aggressive campaign, while the Democrats have plodded along trying to avoid wounding any person's feelings, and therefore fearing to pleaso any person particularly. The Demo? crats in Indiana made a very unfortu? nate nomination for Governor, Landers, their candidate, being toe much of a Greenbacker for tho hard money men, and not quite Greenbacker enough for the real Greenbackers. He is a weak man, a poor debater, and even unpopu? lar in his owu party- Then, Mr. Eng? lish is also unpopular in many portions of Indiana, so that his presence is a load instead of an advantage to the ticket. On the other hand the Republicans se? lected a strong, popular and unobjection? able man for Governor. They prated over tho "solid South*' and floated the "bloody shirt" until they obtained all of the benefits it could confer, and then dropping it at the last moment they seized upon the tariff issue and by hold? ing up the dangers of free trade to the largo Western manufacturing and min? ing interests they made votes upon it. To cap the whole work, they voted crowds of negroes and spent quantities of money. The result places the Presidential elec? tion in doubt. If Indiana votes differ? ently in November there will bo no trou? ble in electing Hancock, while if it votes for Garfield the voto will still bo very close, with chances slightly favoring Hancock. There is no cause for discour? agement in these elections. It is simply an extra inducement to close ranks and go to work. The next two weeks will probably change the whole result. An Address to the Indiana Democracy. Indianapolis, October 15. . The Democratic Executive Committee have issued the following address: 2b the Democratic and Independent Voters of Indiana : The result of the election last Tuesday is a deep disappointment to us all. The extent of the success which the Republi? can party has achieved in this State is as much a surprise to the Republicans as it is to the Democrats, and proves that the majority of the Republican party were as ignorant of the means which their cor? rupt leaders were employing as we were. The temporary loss of our State is a calamity which time will enable us to retrieve, but the injury which our free institutions will sustain resulting from the frauds and corruption practiced by Republican leaders to secure their tri? umph is incalculable. The causes which enabled the Republican party to succeed in the election are now plain. They were the partial success of their scheino to Africanize our State for politi? cal purposes, the corrupt use of money for the purpose of obtaining votes, the importation and use of repeaters pro? tected by deputy marshals, and the aid derived by them from the use of the Federal machinery of election nnder pretense of supervising the election of members of Congress. In the Presidential election we will not have to encounter these forces to the same extent as in our State election. The corruption fund will have to be divided among many States. Thoir re? peaters will be all at home, and those who were discharged from arrest by deputy marshals on straw bail will not be likely to make their appearance in iu our State soon again. "We shall have no Federal marshals or Federal machinery to contend against. We aro thoroughly united in our counsels; whatever our adversaries may say to the contrary is untrue. We therefore call upon you not to relax any of your efforts. Put some new life and energy into your County and township organizations, and take all measures in your power to bring out your full strength to the polls. The same vote polled by us in October if polled in November will secure to us the State. The average majority against us at the late election will not exceed 4,000, and may fall below that figure. This major ty can and, in our opinion, will bo over? come in the Presidential election. A change of three voters in each precinct will accomplish it. Romember you havo a leader in this contest who never souuds a retreat, and he commands an army that.never surrenders. Signed : W, H. English, T. A , Hen dricks, J. E. McDonald, Franklin Lan? ders. William Fleming, J. M. Cropsey, 0. 0. Sleatloy, Executive Committee, James H. Rice*. Secretary. To the Democrats of the Union. The Democratic National Executive Commirtee havo issued the following ad? dress: To the Democratic and Conservative Voters of the Country: The election of President and Vice President is now before you. State and local dissensions are eliminated from tho issues of the day. The magnitude of a victory or a defeat can ouly be estimated by the force and means employed in se? curing it. By fraud and corruption the people of the country wore defeated in their purpose in 1876, and tho rightfully elocted President was kept from office. With the combined capital of the Repub? lican party, aided by repeated assess? ments upon the army of officeholders, with the power of the Fedoral govern? ment represented by United States mar? shals at the polls, with intimidation, fraud and a resort to every corrupt appli? ance known to Republican methods con? centrated in two States, our adversaries have succeeded in procuring tho proba? ble return of their local candidates. Can it bo possible that in every state through? out this broad land the same methods can be brought to bear that were used by the Republican managers in Indiana and Ohio ? Can tho great States of Now York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, Colorado, Nevada and New Hampshire be bought, intimidated and defrauded? Even without tho vote of Indiaua, which we believe will be redeemed in Novem? ber, with Now York and New Jersey and the States that are conceded to us, in? cluding Maine, tue election of our candi? date is assured. The Republican party have put in nomination for President and Vice Pres? ident two men who, by tho admission of their own party and press, arc unworthy of your confidence and your suffrages. It is impossible that fifty millions of intelligent and patriotic peoplo will con? sent to place themselves upon the hu? miliating level thus prepared for them by the Republican managers. Fellow-citizens, tho first day's repulse at Gettysburg ended on tho 3d, with Hancock in tho front in glorious victory. Tho victory secured us our Union. The question is not the preservation of the Union, but of constitutional government. Hancock is now, as then, in front. The repulse is now, as then, an omen of vic? tory, which will secure to coming gener? ations the inestirnablo blessings of civil liberty. By order of the National Democratic Committee. War. H. Babsuai, Chairman. ? Tho company that has been experi? menting in Florida with palmetto for making paper has met with such gratify? ing success that they will erect about twenty paper mills in various parts of that State, whore palmetto tress grow iu abundance and where the transportation facilities ore good. Tho citizens of Houca Path have gone earnestly and vigorously to work for the purpose of properly arranging for their meeting on the 30th, and will make it, as their meetings always, are, a grand suc? cess. Gov. Hampton will be with them, and the influence that goes out from the meeting will reach from tho lower line of Abbeville to the foot of the mountain. THE TARIFF BUGBEAR. A Letter to Gen. HuncocU and Ills Itcply. Morkistowx, Oct. 11, 1880. My Dear General: My attention is called to-day to an interview or reported inter? view had with you by a person represent? ing tho Paterson Guardian of this State. As I read tho report it seems to ino you were very imperfectly understood or in? differently reported. I came to this con? clusion because of my knowledge of your views upon tho tariff question. Tho re? port does you injustice. The subject is one which our manufacturing friends are very solicitous about, and very properly so. I regret that your views upon the tariff question as I understand them to ho had not found fuller expression in your letter of acceptance. If the mis? representations of your tariff view s con? tinue would it not bo wise and just to tako some occasion to put yourself right? Very truly yours, Theo. F. Randolph. Gen. W. S. Hancock, Governor's Island. Governor's Island, N. Y., October 12. My Dear Governor?I havo received your favor of tho 11th instant. In my letter of acceptance I expressed my full sympathy with our American industries. I thought I spoko plainly enough to satisfy our Jerse}' friends regarding my tariff views. Iain too sound an Ameri? can to advocate any departure from the general feature of a policy that has been largely instrumental in building up our industries and keeping Americans from the competition of tho underpaid labor of Europe. If we intend to remain honest and pay the public debt, as the good peo? ple of all parties do, and if wo mean to administer the functions of government, then wo must raiso a revenue in some way or other. With a reunited and har? monious country we shall certainly in time pay off the public debt, but the ne? cessity of raising money for the adminis? tration of the government will continue as long as human nature lasts, All par? ties agree that tho best way for us to raise a revenue is largely by tariff. So far as we are concerned, therefore, all talk about free trade is folly. But tho tariff question will probably be treated with justice to all our interests and people by some such bill as Eaton's. I believe that a commission of intelligent experts, representing both the Government and American industries, will suggest tariff measures that will relieve us of any crudities and inconsistencies existing in our present laws, and confirm to us a system which will bo judicious, just, harmonious and incidentally protective, as well as stablo in its effect. I am very truly yours, Winfield S. Hancock. To Hon. Theo. Randolph, Morristown. N. JV HOW HE LOYES US! Hem v Ward Beecher's Latest Abuse of the South. This is .what that sanctimonious old hypocrite, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, said in his political harangue at the Cooper Institute, New York, on Tuesday last: Gentlemen, the sword may slay, but it cannon convince, and Southern men are. just as much besotted with State sovereign? ty to ('ay as they were before the war. The Southern mind is unchanged on this sub? ject. Will you stand up to the doctrine you vindicated with your swords? The doctrines of Calhoun are taught in every principal seminary of the South, just as when Lee led on - the rebel hosts. Now they Siave taken to themselves the rem? nants of the Democratic party. If they pet ?possession of the country we will have to stand Democratic doctrines. They will never prevail, though they may have a victory to-day or to-morrow. There will never be peace on this continent until peace is founded on right principles. If the Democratic party, with the South, goes into the possession "of the government we will r' upon the verge of further troubles. Republican principles must be the heart ana soul of this country in the future, as they have been for the last twenty years. The South for fifty years administered the institutions of this country, and I must say she administered them pretty badly. For more than fifteen years before the war her councils were a series of blunders. Just now t ie South seems determined to make one more great blunder. She drewoffsul lenly after the war and refused the right hand of Republican friendship. Not one State in all the South would take tho prof? fered hand of President Hayes. [Cheers.] That was a gigantic blunder. If she had been willing to accept the situation there would have been no difficulty to-day. But they went with the Democratic party? these two defeated fanatics cost their fortunes together. And we, as one great determined State, are resolved that they shall ..ot deprive us now of that which we fought for and won. We will fight it cut on this line if it takes twenty five summers. [Applause.] You cannot inocculate this country with the virus of State sovereignty that suckled at the black bosom of Slavery. [Cheers.] You cannot do it. The County Treasurer of Hampton Robbed. On Thursday night, the 7th inst., Major W. J. Goodiug, our County Treasurer, was tho victim of a bold robbery, under the following circumstances: Upon reaching the home of Mr. Charles Terry, at Gillisonville, on the night above mentioned, Major Gooding and his assistant, W. R. Hammond, Esq., put up for the night. The valise, conta ining funds to the amount of ?3,000 and valu? able County papers, besides clothing, etc., was placed under the bed in the room which the treasurer had occupied on several occasions previous. While Major Gooding, Mr. Hammond and the family were at supper thieves entered through a back window and made off with their boot3\ As soon as tho loss was discovered immediate steps were taken to catch the thieves and recover the treasure, but tho night being dark and tho rain falling steadily, nothing could bo accomplished be}'ond examin? ing and tracing the tracks of two persons to a cane-brako or s?vamp not far distant from tho house by tho aid of lanterns. One track wan that of a bare foot and the other apparently that of a No. 9 shoe, as well as could be discerned in fhe heavy falling rain, which foot-prints were doubtless boina: rapidly obliterated. Skilled detectives were summoned as soon as practicable, and it is thought the robbers will ere long be in the hands of the law. Suspicion points to certain par tics, butis thought best to ventilate tho subject no further at present. It is hardly necessary to say that neither the State nor tho County nor the sureties of Major Gooding will lose any? thing, as ho has mrdo arrangements by which, as he states in his card, "every dollar will bo reported and paid out as usual." The sympathies of every citizen of Hampton County are with Major Gooding in his misfortune, and his self sacrificing course demands respect and admiration. During the years of his public service, as well as in the affairs of private life, his record has been bright and clear, and this loss commands our heartiest sympathy.?Hampton Guardian. The Radicals Rejoicing. Tho address issued by the National Republican Committee oil tho 15th inst. congratulates the people of Indiana and Ohio, and the Republican party all over tho country upon tho success of tho par? ty in Indiana and Ohio, and also upon the bright prospects of victory of the national ticket in November. At the same time it improsses upon tho people everywhere tho importance of not relax? ing their efforts in tho least, but of press? ing their opponents, whilo they are suf? fering from their recent defeat, and mak? ing thoir victory next month doubly sure. It adds that if every Republican will go earnestly to work, Garheld and Arthur will receive tho olectoral voto of every Northern State. ? Gen. Hancock socmed anything but discouraged by tho defeats In Indiana and Ohio, and attended his usual routine round of duties with undis? turbed countenance and in good spirits. In response to a question whether he thought that tho Republican -dctory in the Stnte election in Indiana was any good reason lor believing that tho Stale would go Republican in tho Presidential elec? tion, "No reason at all," was the emphat? ic reply. "There were local issues at stake in Indiana which would have no effect in a national political contest.'' Sherman and Hampton. Washington, October 10. Secretary Sherman to-day furnished for publi? cation the following correspondence, consisting of four letters, which have passed between himself and Senator Hampton, of South Carolina : Doggers Springs, September 17, 1S3C?Ilou. John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury: Sir? Some days ago I saw a report of your speech at the conference held by the National Republican Com? mittee at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, aud you were quoted as having used the folio wing lan? guage: "And now you aro asked to surrender all you have done into the hands of Wado Hampton and the ku klux and the little segment in the North that is called the Democratic party." May I ask If you used these words, and if you did so, did you mean to connect mo directly or indirectly with what is known as the ku klux klan ? Re? questing an early reply, addressed to me, care of August Schell, Esq., New York, I am, very respect? fully, your obedient servant, Wade Hampton. "Washington, D. C, September 21.?To Hon. Wado Hampton, New York: Sir?Your noto of the 17th inst. is received, in which you inquire whether at the conference held by the National Republican Committee at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, I used the language attributed to me as follows: "And now you are asked to surrender all you have done Into tho hands of Wado Hamp? ton and tbo ku klux, and the little segment in the North that is called the Democratic party." In reply I hare to advise you that whilo I don't re? member the precise language, and presume the re? porter correctly slated in a condensed way his idea of what I said, I no doubt spoke of you as a leading representative of the Democratic party in tho South, and referred to the ku klux klan as a rep? resentative of the barbarous agencies by which the Democrats have subverted tho civil and political rights of the Republichns of the South. I did not connect you personally with the ku klux klan. Indeed, 1 know you had in one or two important instances resisted and defeated its worst impulses. I appreciate tho sense of honor which makes you shrink from being named In connection with it. Still you and your associates and leading men In the South now enjoy the benefits of political flower derived from atrocities of the ku klux klan, n which I include numerous aliases by which it has from time to timo been known in the South. Your power in the Southern States rests upon the actual crimes of every measure in the code of crimes, from murder to the meanest form of ballot box stuffing committed by the ku klux klan and its kindred associates, and as you know some of the worst ol them committed since 1877, when you und they gave most solemn assurances of protection to the freedmen of the South. These crimes are all aimed at the civil and political rights of the He publicans in the South, and as I believe but for these agencies the very Stato that you represent, as well as many other States in tho South, would be represented both in tho Senate and House by Republicans. But for these crimes, the boast at? tributed to you that the 138 solid Southern votes would be cast for tho Democratic ticket would be but idle vaporing, but now we feel that it is sober truth. While I have no reason to believe that you or your Northern associates personally partici- | pated in the offenses I have named, yet while they enjoy the fruits of these crimes, yon may, in the logic of morals, be classed as joint copartners with tho ku klux, and the policy which thus far has been successful in securing political power in the South and which it is hoped by tho aid of a small segment of the Democratic partv in the North, may be extended to all departments of the govern? ment. In this sense I spoke of you, tho ku klux aud the Northern Democratic party. Permit me in conclusion in frankly answering your question to say that the most fatal policy for tho South would be by such agencies as I havo mentioned to secure again the political ascendancy in this coun? try, for I assure you that tho manhood and inde? pendence of the North will certainly continue the struggle until every Republican in the South shall have free and unrestricted enjoyments of equal civil and political privileges?a fair vole, fair count, free speech and a free press. Agitation made necessary to secure such results, may greatly effect injuriously the interests of the people of the South. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Joun Sherman. Charlottsville, Va., October 13, 1880.?Sir: Your letter has been received, and as you don't disclaim the language to which I called your atten? tion, I have only to say that in using it, you uttered what was absolutely falso, and what you knew to be false. My address will be Columbia, S. C. I am your obedient servant, , Wade Hampton. To Hon. John Sherman. Treasury Department, Washington, D. C, October 18.?To Hon. Wado Hampton, Columbia? Sir: I havo to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 1st instant, handed me unopened by Mr. C. McKinley a lew moments ago, after my re? turn from the West. I bad this morning read what purported to be an extract of a speech made by you, published in the Charleston News and Courier, and upon your general reputation as a gentleman had denied thatr you had mado such a speech or written such a letter as is attributed to you in that paper. What I stated to you in my letter of September 21st, I believe to bo true, not? withstanding your denial, and it can bo shown to be true by public record, and as a matter of his? tory. As you had, long before your letter was de? livered to me, seen proper to make a public state? ment of your views of tho correspondence, I will give it to the press without note or comment, and lot the public decide between us. Vory respectfully, John Sherman. Slate News. Edgefield: The Advertiser has been enlarged to a nine column paper.

An experiment was being tried of a new steaming process. Coi n was put whole into a mammoth kettle sixteen feet high and steamed. Then a strong pressure of steam was ap? plied to force it through pipes into the mash tub.
