THE LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. Special LHspath to the Anderson Intelligence'. Columbia, S. 0., November 4. New York beats us, giving 20,000 ma? jority for. Garfield; Pensylvania 80,000; ' ^Connecticut 2,500; Indiana 10,000. Hancock carries California by 500 ma? jority, Nevada by 500, New Jersey by 3, 000, South Carolina by 50,000, Florida by 5,000, It is a solid South against a nearly solid North. John Bbatton. we abe defeated. - The election on last Tuesday resulted in a sweeping victory for the Republi? cans in the Presidential and Congress? ional elections. Garfield carries every Northern and Western State except New Jersey, California and Nevada, which Hancock carries in addition to the solid South, so that the Electoral vote- will stand, Garfield 219; and Hancock 156. The House of Representatives will prob? ably be Republican, and the Democrats will only retain the Senate by a close majority. The defeat is complete and crashing, and its effects cannot be pre? dicted until the excitement and passions of the canvass which has just closed has .ended. It is always in order to give the causes for a defeat, and In the present case the only difficulty in doing so is that thoy are so numerous.as to render the work a little tedious. To begin with, the defeat may properly be charged to Mr. John Kelly, of New . York, who turned that State over to. the Republicans two years ago rather than see his personal whims thwarted. This gave the State patronage and all of the election machinery of New York to the Republicans, and enabled them to carry that State this time, and thereby secure the Presidency. In the next place, the personal abuse and denunciations heaped on Mr. Tilden, which prevented his nomination*, took from the canvass the great issue which would have Raved the campaign of 1880. For this the South is mainly responsible. Again, the party lost strength by the* foolish action of the last Congress, which united the Republicans and disgusted the independent voters of the country. The irresolute stand of the Democracy upon the financial and tariff questions also aided considerably in securing defeat. The party has sought to take both sides of these questions, and has really not been sufficiently independent to com? mand the respect of its own members in many instances. . It was a blunder, if not worse than that, to have fused with Greenbackers in Maine and temporized with them in Indiana and Ohio. Then, too, certain Southern leaders were entire? ly too prominent and indiscreet in the recent canvass, which enabled the Re . publican party to resurrect the war issues and solidify the North against what they termed the solid South. - The Democratic canvass was entirely misplaced. It was rested upon the per? sonal abuse of Garfield and the military record of Hancock. The managers were afraid to discuss any of the great questions a presented in the admirable platform of the party, and from the shape assumed by the canvass one could not really tell whether the party was in favor of hard or soft money, of protection or free trade, of American ships for American com? merce or not Nay, the majority of the campaign .speakers were even afraid to handle the Southern question boldly. These are some of the,.causes which produced .the terrible.overthrow of last - Tuesday/ and we may rest assured that so long as the Democratic party is so timid and Has such unfortunate allies, so long will it be defeated. the election in this county. The election in Anderson County on last Tuesday was generally quiet, though a very intense interest pervaded the voting at most precincts. There was lit? tle or no interest felt in the State or County tickets, as there was no opposi? tion to them, and every effort centered on the Presidential race. The negroes were more solid and inapproachable than they have ever been, and for the most part voted the Republican ticket. They came to the polls in large companies, and in many cases, would not talk with any white man- until after they had voted. They were insolent and defiant, and showed a thorough drilling that was for more perfect than it was in 1876 or 1878. Ex-Senator Cochran was appointed County Chairman of the Republican party about ten days before the election, and did his work most effectively. It was the hardest work possible to break the solidity of the colored vote, though by dint of persuasion and argument we managed to indnce a great many of them to vote the Democratic ticket. In addi? tion to this we had a white ticket, an exact fac simile of the Republican ticket, and many negroes voted it, amounting to probably two hundred in the County, which increased our majority from three to four hundred votes. The election shows that the negro will vote the Republican ticket whenever his old leaden tell him to do so, and that as a class he has no more reason than a mule. The election here was anything but encouraging to those who hope to see the negro improve iu understanding the duties of citizenship. He is controll? ed mainly by opposition to the white man. Thus he has drawn the color line, for the purpose of following men whom be does not know in preference to those who be? friend and assist him. Frankly, howev* er, we do not blame the ignorant negro as much as his intelligent leaders. The vote in this County is slightly under the vote of 1876, though i\e have a better majority in proportion to the vote cast. We have not, however, done our full duty as the whole white vote has not been polled. This was do doubt due to a feel ing of over confidence and a lack of en? thusiasm on the part of. our people. It I was a mistake to have acted thus, for the i failure of a hundred men to vote might have lost the Stale, if the vote had been as close as it at one time seemed to be. The whole up-country has fallen behind the vote of 1876, and but for gains below" the Garfield Electors would have been successful in South Carolina'. Taken al? together the vote of Anderson compares favorably with that of the other Demo? cratic Counties, and we have reason to be gratified at the success of our campaign. The Third Congressional District has spoken, and Gen. C. J. Stoibrand has been buried beyond the hope of resurrec? tion as a candidate for Congress. The majority against him will be over 12,000. He will probably return to bis legitimate avocation of guaging whiskey. Considering the qniet canvass and lack of .visible opposition, the Democrats of Anderson County have done well in giv? ing so large a majority as we have. Proper interest, however, would have in? creased oar majority at least eight hun? dred or a thousand. South Carolina is safe, notwithstanding the fight that was made upon us by United States officials, and men who are banting for office at the hands of the Re? publicans. official vote of anderson coun? ty fob PRESIDENT. The vote in Anderson County, which we publish below, is a comparison of the Elec? toral vote of 1880 with the gubernatorial vote of 1876. The table is nearly if not quite accurate, and shows a Democratic majority of 3041,. against a majority for Governor. Hampton of 3031, and a ma? jority of 2795 for the Tilden Electoral tick* et.. It will, therefore, be seen that Ander? son remains solidly Democratic: PRECINCTS. 18S0 Dem\Rep Anderson C. H. I Ball's Mill. Belton....:..". Brushy Creek... Bethany. Brown & Farm. Store.!

Only 48 Democratic votes polled. At least one hundred Democrats refused to vote. Hagood received 14 votes and Gary 77. The Republicans polled 270 ballots. Tillman received 47. Smalls 255. Blackville, Nov. 3.?All precincts heard from. Barn well County goes Dem* ocratic by 3,000 majority. Chester, Nov. 3?The lowest esti? mate gives the entire Democratic ticket 1,400 majority in this County. The Re? publicans supported their Presidential ticket, Blythe for Congress, McAlilly, the Independent, for the Legislature, Macoy, Radical, for clerk of court, and White for school commissioner. A large num? ber of negroes voted with the Democrats. Everything passed off quietly, but the. Democrats worked vigorously through the day. Summekville, Nov. 2.?The polls at Summerville and Delemars, in Colleton County, were closed yesterday by the failure of the managers to report for du? ty. The following telegram has been sent to Marshall Jewell by W. F. Meyers, chairman of the Republican party of Colleton County: "To Marshall Jewell, New York : "All the strongholds of the Republican polls hive been closed against us. Is this a fair count or free ballot? - "W. F. Myers " The closing of these pells will result in the loss of about 1,000 votes to each party. One manager appeared at the Summerville poll. * timmon8ville, Nov. 2.?Darlington County gives the Democratic Electors and Congressman Richardson at least 1, 000 majority, and elects her full County ticket. Cheraw, November 2. ? This poll, which has heretofore given a Republican majority of from one to two hundred, gives the Presidential and Congressional Democratic tickets a majority of twenty five. At a small estimate Chesterfield County will give a Democratic majority of 1,000. Johnston's, November 2.?There were about seyen or eight hundred ne? groes at the polls at this place to-day, who crowded in so that the officers could hardly receive the ballots. Some trouble was expected during the day, and men from Trenton and Batesburg were imme- j diately telegraphed to come to our relief. Everything went on quietly until about 10 o'clock, when a negro man gave a white man a blow on the head with a stick and drew his pistol. By this time the men around became somewhat excit? ed and commenced firing with gum and pistols. One negro man was killed and several mortally wounded. No whites were hurt. Trouble is expected here to? night, but there will be a hundred men fiom Augusta and Batesburg here to as? sist us. There has been great excite? ment here since 10 o'clock to day. The Democrats have over 400 majority at this place. None of the precincts in the county have been beard from yet, but there is no doubt that the Democrats have a large majority all over the coun? ty. Edgefield, S. C, via Johnston, November 2.?Everything at this place quiet at 6 o'clock. Democratic majority about 700. The majority in the country will be about 4,000. Winnsboro', Fairfield Co., No? vember 2.?10.25 p. m.?Unofficial re? turns from several precincts justify the statement that this county has gone for the whole Democratic ticket by not less than 500 majority. The election was generally quiet, through a few local dis? turbances are reported. Tho Radicals supported the Greenback -State ticket pretty solidly. The negroes concentra? ted on a few polls. S Gbeen ? ilijb, November 2.?Election very quiet and orderly. A heavy vote has been polled. Colored Republicans from the country voted in the city in large numbers, greatly increasing the usual vote at this precinct. The Republicans voted solidly for their electoral and county tickets, and no State ticket. No county precincts bare been officially heard fro"u, but the Democratic majority in the county may be estimated at no less than 2,000. The count is progress? ing, and bo far not a single Greenback vote has been counted. It .is probable that the ticket has received a light vote in the meuntatns. Starling Littlejohn, colored, Republi? can, was arrested for repeating, and in default of bail, was committed to jail. Other arrests will probably be made for the same offence. . Vabnville, Hampton Co., Novera-. ber 2.?11 p. m.?Hancock, Tillman and the rest of ticket will have 1,500 major? ity. At the closing of the polls about one hundred Radicals fired off guns and pistols. They were led by United States Supervisor Gantt, who tried hard to pro* yoke a difficulty but without avail. Lexington, November 2.?The Dem? ocratic majority Is 800 to 1,000. As?XtilU vote polled as in 1876. Very little scratching of tickets. Republicans voted for neither county or State officers. Hobbs received the solid Republican and Greenback vote. . The Greenback ticket got very few vote3. Bonhara gets the solid Democratic and white vote, with the exception of about two boxes, where Hobbs will likely receive a scat? tering vote. Newberby, November 2?9.45 p. m. ?In Latirens the negroes votea the straight Democratic ticket. Laurens County is safe for the Democracy, from 1,500 to 2,000 majority. Every? thing is quiet aud peaceable. Bennettsville, November 8?1 a. m.?Marlboro' elects the regular Demo? cratic ticket by a majority of from four to six hundred. Mabion, November 2.?The contest at this.place was very exciting, but passed off peaceably. The Democratic majority in the county will in any event be over 1,000. Richardson leads Hancock by a few votes at all the polls heard from. Walhalla, November 2.?The ma? jority for Hancock will probably be about 1,300. The utmost quiet has (pre? vailed. Pickens, November 2.?A tolerably full vote has been polled. The majority for the Democratic electoral ticket and Congressman will not fall under 1,00). Columbia, November S?1 a. m.?A close unofficial coun t in tho city gives the Democratic county ticket an average of 347 majority. There is no doubt of car? rying the county by upwards of 300 ma? jority. The United States supervisors* were established in the polling places all day, and seem satisfied with the genuine? ness "of the result. There was a great deal of Radical repeating, which could not be stopped, as they invariably swore themselves in, ass:ctea by fellow-Repub? licans who swore likewise. Sumter. Nov. 2?7 p. m.?So far as heard from the State, Congressional and County-Democratic, candidates are sup? posed to be elected. lip. m.?Reports are coming in slow? ly. The Republicans are ahead, but gross irregularities are charged. About 2,000 negroes from every section of the country were massed in town during the whole day. They were armed with pis? tols, and spoke defiantly of the Demo? crats. Order was preserved by the prompt action of the municipal authori? ties. Deputy United States marshals were at the polls, but no arrests were made. Spabtanb?bg, November 2.?There were 1,741 votes polled at this precinct, with a Democratic majority of about 500. About 5,000 votes were polled in the county. It is tbonght that the county will go Democratic by 1,500 or 2,000 ma? jority. Union, Nov. 2?8.28 p. m.?Union County gives Hancock 1,500 majority. Kingstt.ee, WilliamBburg Co., Nov. 2. ?The election at this place to-day passed off without any violence, although atone time a collision between the whites and blacks was imminent. The negroes at some places did not forget the lesson taught them early in the campaign, and carried out the "possum" policy and did not vote at all. The Democracy feel confident that they have carried the election. Yobkville, November 2.?The indi? cations are that York will give the Na? tional Democratic ticket from 1,200 to 1,500 majority. The State and county Democratic tickets are safe. York vi lie, where the negro vote was heaviest, gives Hancock between forty and fifty majori? ty. Lancaster, November 3.?Lancaster's vote yesterday was about eighteen hun? dred Democratic and fifteen Greenback. The Radicals did not vote, having no ticket. Chableston, November 3.?Very few official returns have been received from the election in the State, but what are in render certain the election of four Democratic Congressmen, with the 2nd District still in doubt. In twenty Coun? ties reported the majority for Hancock and the State Democratic ticket aggre? gates 34,000; thirteen Counties still to be heard from will probably increase this majority. Chableston, S. C, Nov. 3.?Returns for this County are not all in. The re? sult is doubtful but the probabilities are favorable to the Democratic ticket. ? The New York Sun's Narragansett special of October 29 states that ex-Gov? ernor Sprague has made a specific written charge against his wife of infidelity with Senator Conkling at the Palace Hotel, Buffalo. He has obtained a warrant for the arrest of Senator Conkliug for tres? pass on his grounds at Cunoncbet. ? It is rumored that 50,000 tons of En? glish steel \ ails have been purchased by Air. W. H. Vanderbilt, to be delivered in Now York at the present market rates ?$63 per ton. On this immense purchase Mr. Vanderbilt pays $1,750.000 for his rails and ?1,400,000 as a penalty for buy? ing t.iem of foreign makers. ? The way in which trading in votes was carried on in Indiana is indicated ly the returns for Wayne County, a Repub? lican stronghold. The Greenback State ticket had but 225 votes there, but tho Greenback County ticket polled 3,338. It is a matter of some interest to know what will, become ot these votes next week. ? Leopold Bates*a staunch colored Democrat of Cheraw was attacked on the 30th of November while in atteudanco at the Wadesboro' fair by a crowd of ne? gro Radical roughs and severely beaten, for no greater cause of olfenco than that of hurrahing for Hancock. Bates would no doubt have been killed but for the timely aid rendered him by Mr. Thomas May and others. ? The debt statement issued at Wash? ington o;i November 1, shows the de creaso of the public debt during the month of Octoher to be $71,037,540.62; cash in the treasury, $203,545,486-74; gold eertiricates, $7,454,500; silver certificates, $27,113,900; certificates of deposit out? standing. $8,766,000; refunding certifi? cates, $979,200; legal tenders outstanding, $34G,3S1,01(>; fractional currency out? standing, $7,181,8G1.37. On Monday as a freight train on tho Port Royal Railroad was moving along near Brown's Station, a ball from a rifle was iired into the cab car. It passod in at one w indow and out at another, shat? tering tho glass. Tho conductor, Mr. Jennings, and Mr. E. E. Doscber wore in tho car at the timo. Mr. N?rnberger, who had been sitting by the window, had left the ear only a moment before. The broken glass was scattored over the seat which he had. just vacated. The shot came from a clump of woods near the road. Driving tbo Chinese In Denver. Denver, Col., October 31. Denver has been in the hands of a mob for eighihours, and now fully 1,500 riot? ers are in the street. It was discovered a week ago that fully eight thousand illegal names wore registered in tho city, and immediately thereafter the streets tilled ?with strangers of tho worst character. Saturday night tho Democrats had a pro? cession carrying transparencies with in? scriptions and cartoons, tending tooxcito animosity against the Chinese. A con? siderable portion of tho processionists be? came intoxicated und remained all night. At noon they made an assault upon tho Chinese houses, tearing down tho houses and beating and dragging out tho Chi? nese. One was dragged from Hop Leo's place with a rope about his neck, and his skull crushed In with boots and brick? bats. The police were called out, but were unable to control tho mob. Tho Fire Department then was ordered to throw water on the rioters; but the mob attacked them and badly wounded two firemen. Many Chinamen were beaten. One was rescued by the police and taken to the jail, which was immediately sur? rounded by a mob of about 1,000, who hurrahed and yelled "Lynch the leper." The special police managed to keep back the crowd. The other mob remained in? tact in the lower part of the city. About dark tbey were in entire control and marched from street to street, gutting Chinese houses wheresoever they saw them, and assaulting citizens. Many colored men were knocked down and beaten. Special police have been sworn in to the number of 300. The Chinese popula? tion here cannot exceed 1,500, all told, and from the beginning of this disgraceful riot not a single incident is reported of any of them having resisted the on? slaught. Later.?At this time, 11.30, everything is quiet, the mob having dispersed, but a large police force is patrolling the streets, ana militia is ready for action at a min? utes notice. All the saloons are closed with orders to remain so until after the election. The rioters gutted every Chi? nese house in town with two or three exceptions. One Chinaman was hanged over his front door, and several were badly beaten and wounded with stones and other missies. In nearly every in? stance the police rescued the Chinamen through the back door, while the mob was forcing the front door open. Four or five rioters were slightly wounded, and a-ne seriously, he having been shot in the ^bt side. Tbe active response of citizens to the call of the authorities effectually checked the mob, and by midnight a very percep table improvement was developed, which has steadily continued. Early this morning a squad of miscreants raised a disturbance near the postofflce, but within ten minutes it was estimated that 1,000 citizens, nearly all armed, were on the ground and all the rioters at that Soint were arrested and sent to jail, everal hundred warrants have been sworn out by officers, and between 200 and 300 arrests have been made.,;The city is now considered absolutely secure against any revival of mob rule, and the indignation among all classes is intense and earnest. Thanksgiving Proclamation. Washington. October 31. The following proclamation was issned to-day: At no period in their history since the United States became a nation has this people had bo abundant and so universal reasons for joy and gratitude at the favor of Almighty God, or been subject to so profound an obligation to give thanks for His loving kindness and humbly to im? plore His continued care and protection. Health, wealth and prosperity through? out all our borders, peace, honor and friendship with all the world, firm and faithful adherence by the great body of our population to the principles of liberty and justice, which have made oar greatness as a nation, and to the wise institutions and strong frame of Government and society which were made to perpetuate it?for all these let the thanks of a happy and united people, as with one voice, ascend in de? vout homage to the Giver of all good. I therefore recommend that on Thurs? day, the 25th'day of November next, the people meet in their respective places of worship to make their acknowledgments to Almighty God for His bounties and protection, and to offer to Him prayers for their {continuance. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington this 1st day of No? vember, 1880, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and fifth. R. B. HAYES. By the President: Wm. M. Evabts, Secretary of State. Gold in York. Professor Shepard, chemist of the De? partment of Agriculture, yesterday sub? mitted his report on the results of the examination of three specimens of gold ore from York County to Colonel A. P. Butler, Commissioner of Agriculture. Professor Shepard says: "You will per? ceive that they are very promising, as they indicate a value per ton of 2,000 pounds of from about 813 to $33 in the precious metals. With an abundance of such ores and intelligence and economy in working them the owners of these mines should realize handsomely." It will be seen by the above report that tho Agricultural Bureau is doing wo.-Jc in every direction, notwithstanding tho fact that some papers in South Carolina, blessed with a bountiful amount of cuss edness, are ever ready to cry it down. There must be fools as well as knaves in the world, however, end there always will be -until the second summons comes; and we are rather inclined to think when that time arrives that some men connect? ed with the South Carolina press will be the first that are converted into ashes.? Columbia Register. ? When a girl concludes to put up her hair and make herself look sweet, the best policy is to let her have her own way. She can't be drawn away from her mirror by any of the ordinary things of this life. A fire will sometimes do it, but it has been shown that even a fire may fail to excite some girls. The other night a New York lodging house took fire, and at a most un? comfortable hour?when most girls proba? bly have their bock hair down. One of the young ladies heard that the place was burn? ing down, but she didn't feel like making her appearance before the crowd which had gathered in the street looking like a perfect fright. She shut the door leading into the hall to keep out the flames and went to her mirror to fix her hair. Anybody who has waited for a girl to fix her hair knows that it takes time and a great deal of it. This girl wasn't any quicker than the average, and she was very particular about having her hair done up exactly as it should be. The fire had cut off her chances of escape by the stairs, and her lover, after appealing to her for some time, finally lost his pa? tience and got away without her. A fire? man got up to the room on a ladder and she made him sit on the edge of the window and wait until she had arranged her hair? pins and ribbons for a right sort of public appearance; then she threw herself into his arms?it was so romantic?and slid down the ladder with him, looking just sweet. The whole thing was a tremendous success, but when the careful young girl was safely landed on the pavement she found that she had forgotten her stockings. ? Capt. Eads's jetties have had a re? markable effect on tho commerce of the Mississippi Valley. Since January 1 St. Louis has shipped to Europe twico as much grain by way Jo f New Orleans as passed out of the country by that route in the corresponding period of last year. It is said that the shipments are at pres? ent limited to the want of barges, &c, with which to move the grain, and fleets of boats are being built to supply this want. Tho crop to be moved Is so great this year that in spite of the increase in shipments by water from St. Louis the railroads eastward have been doing an immense business at paying rates. The prosperity of the country is based on tho sure foundation of an enormous crop, for which there is a paying market. ? Dr. Talbot was mysteriously murdered at Marysville, Mo. Some members of the family had a suspicion that his son Albert was the assassin, because he was known to have waited very impatiently to inherit the property ; but in the absence of proof no? body dared make an accusation. So a de? tective was hired. Ho went to live in a house close by, protending to be a farmer, and instructed his pretty wife, whom he introduced as a sister, to gain Albert's af? fection. This she was quickly successful in doing, and within a month she had promised to marry him. Then she set about inculpating him, and ho eventually confessed his guilt to her. His arrest fol? lowed. State News. Abbeville : Dr. Lewis Perrin died near Abbeville on October 23. He was a na? tive of South Carolina, but had spent the greater part of his life in Kentucky, where ho was a very prominent citizen. He was a member of the State Senate when the war broke out, and was once brought out as a candidate for Governor of the State.Three thousand ono hun? dred and thirty seven bales of cotton wore shipped from Abbeville last month. .Mr. P. E. Bowio, who lives a few miles from Hodges, made this year on a two-horse farm 33 bales of cotton, 117 ; bushels of wheat, 700 bushels of oats and I 200 bushels of corn. It is difficult to see the logic in abandoning farming for other business when such results can be ob? tained.Wo were shown last week a beautiful specimen of upland rice, grown by.Mr. J. T. Spriggs, of Now Market. On one-fourth of an aero he made twenty bushels of rico in tho rough. In Ander? son the farmers are paying some atten? tion to this grain, and find it the most profitable crop which they can grow. Let our people look into this matter, and divide their attention bctweon cotton and other profitable crops.We have this year the best crop ever produced in Ab? beville County. Tho farmers havo more money, and the merchants are busier than ever before. If tho present rush continues the present supply of goods will bo entirely exhausted long beforo Christmas. All classes and conditions of people are prosperous. Georgetown: A colored man named Sam Gailard was fired upon last Satur? day night on the Sarnpit road from a shot? gun loaded with buckshot. Gailard was wounded in six places, though not dan? gerously. He says that he can identify the man who committed the outrage, as . a negro who about a fortnight ago, men? aced him in a most savage manner. Greenville: Aleck Sherman, colored, was shot by John M. Scott, white, in Greenville, on Monday night, and pain? fully wounded. Scott was drunk.A skating riuk has beon opened in Green? ville.During the past week 2,932 bales of cotton were received in Greenville, an average of 488 bales per day. The total receipts so far this season have been within a fraction of 12,000 bales, or an average of over 1,700 bales per week. Horry: Mr. James Woodward had his arm badly mangled by a cotton gin last week.While two colored boys were f trying to swap pistols last Sunday one of the weapons was' discharged, the ball lodging in the cheek of one of tho negroes and inflicting a painful wound. Korshaw: On last Thursday night Mr. T. W. B. Smith, living below Camden, went out to look around his cotton fields, and soon came upon two negroes busily engaged picking his cotton. Ho succeed edIn persuading them to accompany him to his oarn, where they were locked up until the next morning, when he pro? cured warrants and bad them sent to jail. Marion: The steam gin of Mr. Joe Thomas, near Dotban, was burned last Thursday. Newberry: The gin-house of Mr. P. Clark Smith was burned Wednesday evening last, together with five bales of cotton.

Laureus: TheLaurensville Herald says of a recent difficulty in that county: "It seems that the negroes came to town on said occasion in a threatening, bantering manner, with largo hickory sticks swung to their wrists, mounted and very noisy. The whites came in peaceably, except the usual hurrahing, and repaired to the Col? lege Campus to rendezvous, nearly half a mile from the place of tho negro meet? ing. About the time tho speaking com? menced some difficulty occurred between a white man and a nogro at tho place of meeting, in which the negro struck tho white man with a stick. A pretty gen? eral tight with clubs then commenced, tho whites having provided themselves with sticks after seeing tho negroes thus armed. Finally pistols were resorted to, and in the general melee a negro by tho name of Jim Griffin, from the neighbor? hood of Cross Hill, was killed. It seems that Griffin anticipated a difficulty, as he told his wife and family that he never expected to return alive. Griffin was captain of ono of tho negro companies present on that occasion.

Newt and Courier. ? THE TROUBLES IN IRELAND. Looking to America for Help. A cable dispatch announces that Mr. Chas. Stewart Parnell intends sending a new delegation to the United States to raise men and means for the outbreak that seems pending in Ireland. In this connection the New York World pub? lishes an address "to the members of the Land Leaguo branches and friends of Ireland in America," now in type in New York, and about to bo distributed throughout this country. The address claims that there has been no incitement to insurrection or appeals to revolution? ary remedies either on tho part of tbo Land Leaguo or any of its members singled out for prosecution; declares that notwithstanding this, all the legal ma? chinery of its government is now to bo cmploj'ed in procuring the conviction and imprisonment of Mr. Parnell, to? gether with that of the executive and leading members of the Land League organization, and in responding to tho inquiry why this is to bo done, con? tinues: "The landlords of Ireland demand it. That class of men whom tho London Time? once stigmatized as the 'cutpurses of the British empire' are howling for vengeance upon the Land League, and a liberal government has to obey the man? date of a few thousand individuals and trample upon the few remaining privi? leges of the millions of the Irish jpeoplo 1 And for what ? "First?Because that system which an English statesman once declared was a 'stench in nostrils of Christendom'?and which the late Lord Clarendon termed 'felonious'?has been dragged from its hideous lair in Ireland by Parnell and tho Land Loague, and so exposed in all its deformities before the civilized world that its infamies are denounced and its prolonged existence decried by every en? lightened community throughout the globe. "Second?Because tho Land League or? ganization has roused the tenant farmers of Ireland from that criminal torpidity in which they have for so long a period allowed themselves and the chief indus? try of their country to become the prey of a monopoly and a class which no other people in Christendom would tolerate for one day upon their privileges as men, their intelligence or their manhood. "Third?Because the agricultural class? es of Ireland are now banding themselves together in open and justifiable combina? tion to demand the abolition of those laws which condemn them to an exist once of misery and social servitude, and which place themselves land their birth land periodically in the attitude of men? dicants at the doors of other civilized nations; and, "Fourth?Becauso the popular mind of Ireland has been educated by the Land League upon tho question of land own? ership, to tbo rejection of a system which is tho parent alike of aristocratic su? premacy and all the social and political evils which spring from the infliction of class monopoly and caste rule upon tho land and liberty of tho country. . "Herein lies the 'seditious conspiracy' for which the Land League is to be crushed and Parnell imprisoned?for which freedom of speech is to be denied, and the right of public meeting abolish? ed, under the regime of Gladstone, Bright and Forster. and the rule of that govern? ment which claims to be the champion of peculiar privileges among the nations! "Men of Irish blood and sympathies in America! Protest against this outrage through tho public men and enlightened press of this land of liberty and justice, and come to the practical assistance of those in Ireland who are now battling not only for the rights of your kindred, but for those of industrial humanity throughout the world. "In this struggle now drawing to a crisis in Ireland a people or a system of land laws must perish. Landlordism, the parent of famine?the source of agra? rian crime?the author of the social do gradation and chief instrument in the political servitude of our people, is wag? ing at this moment a deadly war against Ireland, tho Land League and Parnell, and upon their behalf Task whether you will remain idle and indifferent specta? tors of the contest, or bo active and sub? stantial co-operators in grappling with and crushing at once and forever the scourge of our race and the deadly enemy of our fatherlaud? "Sustain the remaining members of the Land League and the people of Ireland by auxiliary organization on this side of tho Atlantic, and all the power of Eng? land will fail to crush the national land movement or prop up the crumbling edi? fice of Irish landlordism.

"New York, October 20,1880." Cincinnati and the South. Cincinnati, October 29. The committee of the Chamber of Com? merce appointed to ascertain the name of tho writer of a letter recently published in the Louisville Courier-Journal purport? ing to be from a Cincinnati merchant, and saying that Cincinnati merchants did not want Southe. u trado and had no desire to cultivate business relations with South? ern men, reported to-day by reading a letter from Mr. Watterson, of the Courier Journal, in answer to the committee's re? quest for the name of the author of the letter. Mr. Watterson said that if the letter had come under bis observation it would not have been printed; that while it reflected the sentiments of a portion of the daily press of Cincinnati, he was sure it did not represent tho feeling of the mass of business men of Cincinnati. With this disclaimer of any endorsement of the views of the letter, Mr. Watterson thought tho object of the committee would be attained, and as the disclosure of the name of the writer would imperil his business if not his life, he felt obliged to decline the committee's request. Tho consideration of the eommittee's report was laid over until to-morrow. ? At a political meeting at Bonnetts ville on Monday there was great enthu? siasm, but a pall of gloom was cast upon all by a sad accideut caused by the pre? mature discharge of the cannon.
