Thc Republicans wrecked n train loaded
with the Democratic speakers in Hampton
County last week. Fortunately <io ono was
luirt, nnd the Democratic boom keeps grow
ing. "Tiic enemy is ours."
In voting soo that tho ntimo of each of
tho Hancock oledora ls on your ticket,
for every voto will count, and any nils?
take in this matter might glvo a part of
tho voto of this Stato to Oakfield
Hen Hill says that Senators Hampton und
Bayard have defeated tho Democratic par
ty. Will thc Georgia Senator chow us how
they did it, and particularly what Setintor
Bayard has done that wns either unwise or
indit?creot? _
Be particular to volo nothing but tho
regular Democratic ticket, and tako lt
straight. Any omission or scratching
might givo us soino I irpublican Stato
muccra. Truo und good mon lu times
Uko theso voto for their country and not
morely from personal coiiHldorntloiiH.
Every citizen of South Carolina owes
his whole indue nco and effort to his Stato
in this hour of her oxtremo peril. No
man of Carolina cnn afford to soo horlouo
tho reforms that have Leon ofl'ccted.
Thoroforo every ono should turn out and
voto tho Democratic ticket on tho second
of Novombor.
Tho negroes fired Into a D?mocratie
torch light procession in Wilmington,
Dolawnro, tho other night and woundod
Kcvorol whlto rr.cn without any excuso
for doing so oxcept thnt they woro Dem
ocrats. A fow moro instances of this
lawlessness North of tho Potomac and
tho bloody shirt will bo turned ngnlnst
tho He publicans.
It Ia now evident that the noxt Con
gress of tho United Slates will bo Repub
lican, and tho independent voter;: noting
this fact will ho moro than likely tn makn
honors cosy by electing a Democratic
President. So long ns tho country dis
trusts both parti?.*;, ns lt evidently docs,
it will punish both by giving neither full
control of tho government.
Tho Now York Herald says that tho
Democrat'! aro wondering whnt has
struck thom nineo tho Octobor elections,
nnd voluntcora tho informntion thnt lt is
Uio "solid South" thnt has struck them.
Tho Herald ls mistaken. Tho South bas
struck no ono yet, but will procootl to
knock tho bottom out of tho Republican
bucket on tho 2nd of Novombor.
Tho Supromo Court IIOH uucidod tho j
SlmpBon-Willnrd contested election caso
for tho Chiof Justiceship In favor of
Judgo Simpson. Tho opinion, which is
very voluminous, waa rendorod by
Judgo Hudson, and Ja said to bo ono of
tho ablest documents ever presented in
our Courts. Tho opinion wns flied on tho
15th inst., nnd was concurred in by tho
who?o Court.
Ucean: o you have nominated n County
ticket for ino Anderson Democracy, do
not. feel thnt you hnvo discharged your
dnty to yourself or your Stnto. It is ltn
portnnt to hnvo tho County ticket olectod,
but even that is n matter of very little
importance compared with tho BUCCOSS of
our Electoral and Stnto tlckot. It would
bo hotter for our wholo County tlckot to bo
beaton than for u singlo nominee on our
Electoral or Stnto or Congressional tlckot
to be loft out. It is, thoroforo, of tho ut
termost Importanco for evory eitizon to
vole mid to volo tho wholo ticket straight.
Tho success of tho Republican party In
Ohio mid Indiana has dooldod tho Na
tional .Exocutlvo Committee- to mako a
determined effort io break tho D?mo
cratie solidity of the.South. Their clients
will bo directed mainly to tho First, Sec
ond and Fifth Congressional Districts in
this Stato, nnd tho doubtful Districts in
Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama,
Florid-i, Tennessee and Mississippi. Sam.
Loo, tho represen tat i ve on tho Committee
from this State, gave n picturesque ac
count of the situation lu South Carolina
at ita meeting in Now York last week,
assorting that with proper ?troi ts tho Re
publicans could carry the Stato for Gar
Hold nnd Arthur, and that their nomi
nees for Congress in tho First, Second
and Third Districts could also bo elected.
There is no doubt that tho Rep?blicas
mean to oxort tholr evory effort this year
in tho'South, and it behooves tho Demo
crats to not only to bo ou their guard,
but to work with all tholr enorgy nnd de
termination foi* tho elooti m of tholr Con
gressional and Electoral nominees. We
idlfillld nnt Inna atnljl ??f ? Trc?r.t,
nor should wo bo tho least discouraged by
thb defeat In Indiana and Ohio, ns there
ls a reasonable bpoo that at least tho first
named of these States will go Democrat lo
in November. Lot thoro bo work-de
termined, poi elstont and Untiring work
-and tho battle for good government will
bo victorious.
A very disastrous Aro occurred in tho
city of Cli?.rlcstco ou last Sunday after*
noon in which about $300,000 worth of
cotton, real est&to and shipping was de
stroyed, lioarly all of which, fortunately,
was covered by insurance. Tho fire
originated on tho North Commercial
wharf from a pipo or cigar, it Is sup
posed, and before assistance could bo
obtained sufficient to extinguish the
flames they spread to Vnndorhorat wharf
r.ml to several steamships lying hard by.
When first discovered tho flro'was con
fined to a singlo balo, and if *t had been
during tho week, who? tho streets and
, wharves are crowded with people, in all
probability tho buming halo might have
bcou moved In ti nie to avert the disaster.'
As il wa?, however, assistance could not
bo prcHjuNid I? time to fro vent the spread
thc- Hames, which eJ soon as they got

OHIO AMD INDIANA.
Tho October elections arc over, and
they havo gon? strongly against thu
Domocrats. It is n disappointment to
many, but tho closo observor for months
past has scon tho evidence of shrewd,
cunning mid skillful Republican work
lu Ohio und Indiana, which must havo
mndo him, however strongly ho desired
it otherwise, dread u Republican victory
la theso States in October. Tho Demo?
crnts havo ns usunl niado a good light in
each of tboso Stales, but tho Republicans
'lave curried them, nnd tho causes uro
very easily noted. Tho Republicans
have conducted nu aggrcsslvo campaign,
whllo tho Dcniocrnts have plodded ulong
trying to avoid wounding any person's
feelings, nnd thoreforo fearing to pleaso
any person particularly. Tho Demo?
crnts iii Indiana nimio a very unfortu
nate nomination for (iovernor, Landers,
their candidate, being too much of u
Q roon booker for tho hurd money men,
and not quito Greenbackor enough for
?.ho real Grcon hackers. II(! ls n weak
man, n poor debater, and even unpopu
lar in his own party- Then, .Mr. Eng
ltsh is also unpopular in m...iy portions
of Indiana, so that his presonco is u load
instead of un advantage I" tho ticket.
On tho other hund thc Republicans se
lected ustrotip, popular and iinobjoution
uhlo men for fJovor.tor. Tl my prated
over tho "solid South" und floated tho
"bloody shirt" until limy obtained all of
tho bonefua it could confer, und then
dropping it nt tho lust moment they
seized upon tho turill* i vue and by hold
ing up thc dangora of freo tindo to tho
largo Wcstorn manufacturing und min
ing interests thoy made votes upon it.
To cap tho wholo work, they voted
crowds of Tifgroes und spent quantities
of money.
Tho result places tho Presidential oloc
tiou in doubt. If Indiana votes diffor
cntly in November thoio will bo no trou
ble in oleetlug Hancock, w hile if it votes
for Outfield tho vo'n will still bo very
closo, with chnncon slightly favoring
Iluncock. Thom is no causo fordlscoui
ngemont in theso oloctions. It is simply
un extra inducement to closo ranks and
go to work. Tho next two weeks will
probably chango tho wholo result.
Ali Address to tho Indiana Democracy.
INDIANAPOLIS, October ir>.
Tho Democratic Executive Commlttoo
have issued tho following address:
Tb the Democratic and Inde/tendent Voters
of Indiana :
Tho result of tho election last Tuesday
is n dcop disappointment to in nil. Tho
extent of tho success which tho Republi
can party has achieved in tills State is UH
much it mi rp rino t" fhn Republicans as ii
in to tho Democrats, mid proves that tho
majority of tho Republican party wore
as ignorant of tho menus which their cor
rupt leaders woro employing us wo wore.
Tho temporary loss of our Stnto is n
calamity which timo will onnhlo UH to
rctriovo, but tho Injury which our freo
institutions will sustain resulting from
tho frauds and corruption practiced by
Republican londora to secure their tri
umph is incalculable. The causes
which enabled tho Republican party to
succood In tho election nro now plnln.
They were tho partial ance cwt of their
scheme to A frican i/o our Stnto for politi
cal purposes, tho corrupt mo of money
for tho purpose of obtaining votes, tho
importation nnd uso of repeaters pro
tected by deputy marshals, mid tho nhl
derived* hy them from tho uso of tho
Fedoral machinery of election imdor
pretenso of supervising tho election of
members of Congress.
lu tho Presidential election wo will
not havo to oncountor tticso forces to tho
same extent nu in our State election.
Tile corruption fund will havo to bo
divided among many Stater. Their re
peaters will bo nil nt homo, and thnso
who we.o discharged from nrrest by
deputy marshals on straw ball will not
bo likely to make their appearance in
in ourStatosoon again. Wo snail havo no
Federal marshals or F?deral machinery
to (ontond against. Wo nro thoroughly
united in our counsels ; whutovor our
advorsnrit-H may say to tho contrary ls
untrue. Wo thoroforn cull upon you not
to relax any of your efforts. Put soma
new lifo und energy Into your County
and township organizations, and take nil
measures ill your power to bring out
your full strength to tho poll?. Tho samo
veto polled by us in October If polled in
November will securo to us tho Suito.
Tho avo-ago majority against us nt tho
late election will not exceed -1.1100, nnd
may full bolow thut llguro. This mujor
ty (?in und, lu our opinion, will ho over
come in tho Presidontlal election. A
chnngo of tinco votora in each proulnet
will accomplish it. Ron ie m her you huvo
a louder in this contest who never sounds

To the Democratic and Conservative Voters
of the Country:
Tho election of Presid? ni und Vhe
Prenldont is now boforo you. Stato and
local dissensions nt j eliminated from tho
is. mes of tho day. Tho mugiiitudo of a
victory or a defeat can only ho estimated
by thu forco and means employed in se
curing it. Ry fraud and corruption tho
people of tho country woro defeated in
their purpose in 1870, and tho rightfully
oloctcd President was kept from office
With tho Comb;..-d capital of tho Repub

wo bollovo will bo redc-omed in Novem

Tho Republican party have put In
nomination for President and Vico Pros*
ldont two men who, by tho admission of
their own party and press, aro unworthy
of your confluence and your suffrages.
It is imposslblo t hat fifty m i ll iona of
intelligent and patriotic people will eon

miliating lovel thus prepared for t.iom by
tho Republican managers.
Fellow-citizens, tho tilrst day's repulso
at Gottysburg .ended on tho 3d, with
Huncoek in tho front In glorious victory.
Tho victory socured us our Union. Tho
question ls not the preservation of the
Union, but of constitutional government.

repulse Ii now, os then, an omen of vic

My Dear Governor-I havo received
your favor of tho nth instant. In my

sympathy with our American industries.
I thought I spoke plainly enough lo
satisfy our Jorsoy friends regarding niv
turill' VIOWH, I mn too sound nn Ameri
can tn advocate ally departure from tho

largely Instrumental in building up our
Industries and keeping Americana from

Europe If wo intend to remain honest
and pay tho public debt, us tho good peo
ple) ol' alt parties do, und if we mean to
administer tho functions ol'government,
then we must roiso u revenue in : onie
way or other. With a reunited and har
monious country we shall certainly in
timo pay oir tho publie debt, but tho ne
cessity of raising money for tho adminis
tration of tho govornuient will continuo
us long as human nature lasts. All par
ties agree that tho best way for us to raiso
a rovenuo is largely by tariff. So far as
wo aro concerned, thoroforo, all talk
about fri-o trade is folly, Hut tho tariff
question will probably bo treated with
Justice to all our interests and peoplo by
some such bill us Eaton's. I believe
that a commission of intelligent experts,
representing both thu Government and
American Industries, will suggest turi tl*

HOW HE LOVES US!
Henry Wiiril Ilfirclier'n Latent Abuso of
tho South.
This ls what that sanctimonious old
hypocrite, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
said in his political harangue at tho
Cooper Institute, New York, on Tuesday
last :
Gentlemen, tho sword mny slay, but it
cannot convince, und Southern men are
just ns much besotted with State sovereign
ty to-day as they were before the war. Tho
Southern mind is unchanged on this sub
ject. Will you stand up to the doctrine
you vindicated with your swords? Tho
doctrines of Calhoun tire taught ir every
principal seminary of the South, Just n's
wdien Leo lcd on . tho rebel hosts. Now
they have taken to them;elves the rem
nants of thc Democratic party. If they get
possession of the country wo will have to
stand Democratic doctrines. They will
never prevail, though they may have a
victory to-dny or to-iuorrow. There will
never bo peace on this continent until
peace is founded on ilijht principles. If
tho Democratic party, with tho South, goes
Into thc possession of thc government wc
will be upon tho Vorge of further troubles.
Republican principles must bo the heart
nmi soul of this country in the future, as
thoy have been for tho lust twenty 3'ears.
The South for fifty yest* administered the
institutions of this country, and I must Bay
she administered them pretty badly. For
more tlinn fifteen years before tho war her
connells were a series of blunders. Just
new ibo South seom.4 determined to make
one more grc.it blunder. She drew off sul
lenly niter the war and refused the right
hand of Republican friendship. Not one
Stato In all the South would take tim prof
fered hand of President Hayes. [Cheers.]
That was a gigantic Munder. If she hail
been willing to accent tho situation there
would have been no ditllculty to-day.
But they went with thc Democratic party
these two defeated fanatics c cst their
fortunes together. And we, ns ono great
determined State, ure resolved that they
shall not deprive Its now of that which wo
fought for and won. We will fight it cut
on this line if it takes twenty live summers.
[Applause.] You cannot inoceulnte thin
country with the virus of Stato lovcn-ignty
that suckled ul the black bosom ot Slavery.
[Cheers.] You cannot do lt.
Tho County Treasurer of Hampton
Robbed.
On Thursday night, the7th Inst., Major
\V. J. Gooding, our County Treasurer,
was tho victim ?if a bold robbory, under
tho following circumstances :
Upon reaching: the homo of Mr. Charles
I Terry, at Glllisonvllle, on tho night
I above mentioned, Major Gooding ami his
I assistant. \V. R. "lammond, Esq., put
I up for tho night. Tho \ afc D, contuinlng
funds to tho amount of $3.000 mid valu
able County pnpors, besides clothing,
etc., was placed under tho bod in tho
room which tho treasurer had occnplod
on sovcrnl occasions previous, while
Major flooding, Mr. lluuinioitil and ibo
family woro at supper thieve entered
through a luck window and made off
with their booty. As soon as tho loss
was discovered imnicdiato stops were
taken to e?teh tho tliloves and rocovor
tho treasure, but tho night being dark
and the rain fulling steadily, nothing
could be accmnpl-dicl beyond examin
ing and tracing tho tracks or two persons
to a cane-brake or s ?vamp not fa?* distant
from tho houso by thu aid of lanterns.
Ono track was that of a bare foot and the
other apparently that of u No. 1) shoe, us
wall ns could bo discerned In tho heavy
falling rain, which foot-prints wcro
doubtless being rapidly oblltorated.
Skilled detectives woro summoned as
Boon as practicable, and lt ls thought tho
robbers will oro long bo in tho hands nf
the law. Suspicion poluta to certain par
ties, but it ls thought best to ventilate tho
subject no further at pu eui.
It is hardly necessary to say that
linnhe? t!;e Str.tc tho Cornily nor tho
sureties of Major Gooding will loso any
thing, ns ho has mado arrangements by
which, ns ho states in lils card, "every
dollar will bo reported nod paid out as
usual." Tho ?v mpathles of ovory ci ti /en
of Hampton County are with Major
Gooding in hts misfortune, and his self
sacrificing course, demanda respect nnd
admiration. During tho years of lils
public ; cr vice, as wed l as In the a flairs of
privato Ufo, ht? record has boon bright
und clear, and this loss commands our
heartiest sympathy.-Hampton Guardian.
The Radicals Rejoicing.
Tho address issued by tho National

congratulates tho po opio of Indiana and
Ohio, and tho 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 tho

member the precise language, and presume the re
porter correctly sta' -i In a condensed Way bis Idea
of what I said, I no Jouht spoke Of you as a leading
representative of the Democratic party in thc
South, and referred lo the ku klux kian os a rep
resentative of the barbarous agencies by which thu
Democrats have subverted the civil aud political
rights of thc HepubliCfcOa of the South. I did not
conn-ct you personally with the ku klux klan.
Indeed, ? know you had in oi.r ur two Important
instances resisted .md deflated Its worM Impulse*.
f appreciate the sense of honor which makes you
shrink from hi ing named in connection with it.
Mt 111 you aud your associates and badin.; men In
thu South now enjoy thc beucht? ot |.'ilitb.il
power derived from atrocities of lb? ku klux klan,
in which I Include numerous aliases by which lt
has from lime to time been kn o rn in the South.
Your power in the Southern Stales rests uttun tho
actual crimes of every measure In (hu code of
crimes, from murdal to the meanest form of bullol
IM>X alulling 11,m mit tct by the ku klux klan and its
kindred associates, mid as you knov some of the
worst ol them committed since 1877, vhen you and
tiny gave most solemn assurances of protection to
the freedmen of the South. These crimes ar..- uti
aimed at thc civil and political rights of the Ite
publtcani in the South, und os 1 believe hut for
these agencies the very Statu that you represent,
ns well as many other States in thu South, would
be represented both in the Senatu and House by
Hcpi'blicnri*. Hut for theso crimes, the l<oast at
tributed to you that tho nt solid Southern volea
would bu cast for tho Democratic ticket would be
hut idlu vaporing, hut now wo feel that lt is sober
truth. While 1 have no leason to believe tbat you
or your Northern associates personally partici
pated In the (ilienses I have named, yet while they
enjoy tho fruits of these crimes, yon may, in tho
logic of morala, be classed as Joint copartners with
thu ku klux, and Ibu policy which thus far bas
been successful in securing political power In the
South and which it ls hoped by the aid of a small
segment of thu Democratic parte In tho North,
may l>c extended to all departments of the govern
ment. Ia this senso I s|>oke of you, the ku klux
mid tho Northern Democratic party, l'erniit me
in conclusion in irani.1* uuswerlug your question
lu say thal the most fatal policy for tho South
would bu by such agencies os I bavo mentioned to
secure again the political ascendancy in this coun
try, for I nssureyou that tho manhood and inde
pendence of thu North will certainly continue the
struggle' until every ltcpublicaii In the South shall
have free and unrestricted enjoyments of equal
civil and political privileges-a fair vote, fair
cniiit, freo speech and a freo press. Agitation
made necessary to secure such results, may greatly
effect injuriously the Interests of the people of ibu
South.
