The rules governing the next election me the Maine as those heretofore adopted, except that Hie manager* are required lo keep tally list of Ihe number of persons voting for House of Representatives, and report the same to the Executive Com mittee. They arc also required to bring up nil of the ballots cast in the election by 11 o'clock on Friday following the election. Where this is noi done, the Committee, will ascertain the number of voles cast b adding the number of votes for nil the candidates for Representatives, and dividing the same by three. The County Executive Committee will meet at ten o'clock a. m. on Friday, Ihe Rtlll ol October, to receive and tabulato the returns from the election. The canvass which lias just piissrd lias been entirely harmonious and pleasant; no Irenes were made upon the slump, and very lew were raised privately upon the candidates. The canvass was throughout dull, and the meetings poorly attended. With the large number of candidates it is not strange that I lie vote should have been greatly scattered, and that only a pariiul ticket was nominated. The ensiling race promises to he more interesting than the one which has just terminated. AN EXPLANATION. Alter the County Executive Commit .? had declared the result of the prima ry election for members of the House of Representatives last week, some gentle* men in Anderson ascertained, us they thought, an error in the count by which Capt. 11. R. Vandiver would abo have been elected. They reached their con clusion by adding together the sum of all the votes cast for each candidate for Repr?sentatives, ami dividing this sum by four, which would give the number of men voting in the late election fur Rep resentatives as 2903, of which number Capt. Vandiver baa a majority, but when the sinodo hall?la and ballot* for only two or three members are counted, it increases tho number of persons vo ting in the election to a larger number, of which Capt. Vandiver did not have a majority. In view of this complica tion and difference of opinion Mr. Mur ray called the County Executive Com mittee together for Monday morning, but failing to get a quorum, tho Com mittee did uot meet until Monday af ternoon. In the moan time Capt. Van diver came to Anderson, and for the first time heard of the discussion on his way to the city, its neither ho nor any of his immediate friends had any agency in starling the discusi?n. When the Com mittee met Capt. Vandiver appeared before it, ami stated that he desired to say to the Committee, in advance of any action they might take on the question, that he could no* consent under any cir cumstances to accept an olHce where there was the slightest doubt as to his election. He preferred to run the race over and let tho people of Anderson County say in an unmistakable manner Thereforo ho declim d to accept the po sition on the last vote, and was still a candidate before the Democracy of An derson County for the position. The question therefore being disposed of, the Committee took no action upon it, and tho election stands as declared by tho Committee. Capt. Vandiver'? attitude in this matter has been that of a true Democrat und a patriot. Ilo is unwil ling to accept a nomination that would give riso to controversy, atd prefers to trust the justice and judgment of the voters of his party. One of the moat sacred duties which ie devolved upon the citizen in a republican government, is tho obligation to vote for good men to govern hia country. This obligation is second only to the service of his God. The prosperity of bis coun try, the peace and security of his family and of bis community, and all the true interests of hie State, depend upon the intelligent and honest exercise of the valuable rigbt of suffrage. Every man, therefore, in South Carolina ought to y de iu the next election cither for ore RESULT OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION IN ANDERSON COUNTY. IS ? ( Vlil'A INCTS. ? ? ?tuwr i.f f(cfire*c?it<[!trct.

In going to the pulls each m in should vote uccoiding to L;s lioin-l coin iction.-. unii hence -honid choose between tlio ticket headed by 11 Ugh S. Thompson und that led by J. ilendrix McJ/ine. In this alici nuli vc, bui oifO decision can be rcuchctl by any loan with self h -pect. There is no coin I ?. i r i - ? > 11 between the men, ami none be tween their principles. Col. Thompson isa gentleman of ability, integrity ami patriotism ; Mi Lane is an oflice seeking, self asserting demagogue, with no ability and with the most infamous political af fili?t ions. The true men ni'Carolina w ill see to it in November that he ubali never bo Governor of ooutn ("anilina by ihi' votes of the peojilu of this State. Tho Democratic party in South ('aro lina is the only parly which has ever given our Stale peace and prosperity. It has saved our taxpayers moie than a million dol?ais each year since it came into power in l>>7<>, and yet '.here are men 'jnrn (/) enough to think our people will turn Ibis party out to put in one whi ?1 is componed of ten negroes and one white man. Sm h result would he the immediate restoration of Republican rule in South ('andina. ( )iir people will never consent to stich a result. Every true man in South Carolina will go to the polls in November if he can possibly get there, to vote for the Demo cratic pai ty and good government. Our success is already assured if our people will only do ibis. Tin G oenhnckor* who were expected to have had a meeting in Anderson on ilia dill inst . aller having arranged with the Democrats for a joint discussion, piieilv withdrew their appointment and failed to attend the meeting. Hence there was no political meeting, ami our people were ii< prived of (lie honor (?) of having the would-be, but preposterous Governor, .Mcl.ane, with us. Anderson feels greatly humbled that so distili ruished an orator (?) and statesman (?) ihould have treated Us in such a flight manner. We want to sec Mcl.ane ami leur him speak, In order that we may allow our colored people., some of whom .ire intelligent men, what a miserable arce of a ticket these Greenbsckcrs ask .hem to vote for. Seeing is believing, .ind our people will never appicciale the ibsolute perfection of the Greenback "arce until they see Mcl.ane mid hear lini try to speak. The S'lttiuual /<V/?i?Wir?irt publishes u letter from its Kditor, Mr. (tuo. C. Uor hatn, to c. li. Conico, Independent candi dato for Congress from the Seventh North ?'anilina District, in which Im says: "1 vili say to you that on Saturday, the IStd hist.. President Arthur staled to sev eral persons, of whom I was one, at his residence in tho City of Now York, that ho w as not only earnestly for the liberal movement in North ('aroiiuu, and anx ious for the election of tho whole coali tion ticket (which, of colliso Includes I>r. York,) hut that ho did not wish his posi tion on tho subject to bo doubted or mis understood. That is not, or course, any reason why any voler in North Carolina should support the coalition, hut it is good reason why the weight of President Arthur's name should not be lurowii into tho scale against it." This shows that the Republicans North and the Greeubackers and Inde pendents in tho South are in close al liance, and that the tintinnai administra tion is helping the hungry oflice seekers in the South, in order by a ruse, to cap ture these States which the straight-out Republicans cannot hope to do. It is no longer disguised fuel that the Republi cans are supporting the (ireenbackers in South Carolina. Therefore all who volo tho Greenback ticket will bo voting tbo way tho Republicans desire. Cun our people, tbc decent white men nnd intel ligent colored men ol ibis State, nlmrd io vote ibe same ticket which K. W. M. Mackey, Robert Smalls and Sam Lee 1 " le. ? The Raleigh AVic* aud Observer says of Col. J. MeI.eod Turner, who died at Mt. Airy, ( a., on Sunday last, aged 40: "He was wounded nt Newborn, second Manas sas and first Frederieksburg and nt Get :?

Thomas Fortuno, an engineer on tho Kansas Central Railroad, performed a I croie deed near Circlovillo, Kansas, ou hunday ovening. His train rounded a sharp curvo nt the rido of fifteen miles an hour and be saw, two hundred feet ahead of him, a littlo child toddling on the traek. Ho reversed the cugino, oponed tho sand-box, and called for brakes. Ho then ran out along tho run ning board and jumped down upon the {-lint. Tho littlo child did not seo the en gine until it was almost upon him. Ho t ion faced it, threw up bis hands, and sit down on tho track.

About ihe'.doso j of Ilio mooting a ditHculty arose at the slami hetwcon a while Democrat ami a I rifiori ti man, which resulted in the former being wounded in the lo ud by liln'w with a slick or stono. At this time two or three pistol shots w ere liroil near the stand, Ina no one was hurt.

The above statement is uiade upon informal ion of a reliable person, and is helio ved to ho substantially correct. Later. . . ' , Sept. 2h. The riot of yesterday originated thus: Col. Cash, niter a very turbulent and noi sy procession through the streets, was addressing n crowd of about 7*H) negroes. Mr, Carter, editor of the /,c<i?/rr, had taken his position on the stand an reporter for his paper, ami Cash was proluso in his alms.' of Ilio Legislature and charge.I that the planters ami farmers were cheating the negroes out of their earnings. Tin* negroes were drinking at the stand and w ere wrought up to high pitch, ('ash, it is said, would turn around to ('alterami malie repeated remarks that he, although he would not vote lor him, WIIH his sympathizer. Carter then asked Cash to allow him to reply. Cash said certainly, and remarked thai he should have a respectful hearing. Carter at tempted to reply hu? tho negroes would not hear him. Cash then asked them to he i|IIlet, but It did no good, and Cartol ami the negroes getiiog into a wrangle, (.'ash left the stami and went .lin ei to his room at the hotel. The negri es were drinking and they had a jug nl whiskey near the Maud. Carter l.eing promised both by Cash and the County chairman a reply still ! tried to speak, hill the negroes crowded '< so upon the s'ami that the stand moke I dow n. Thereby heilig greatly- infuriale.I the crowd took ind.I ot Curler and dragged I him oll' Um siami, mid he would have been kill:!.I had it not been for Albert I Clinton and Kd. .Saddler and others.

About this time a .li unken negro was misbe having on Main Hirtel ami tho town au thorities ordcrad his arrest. His friends tried to rescue him from tho sheritl and ho was resisting arrest himself, hut altor a struggle tho sherilf without hurling him had him carried to jail. Then the negroes hearing of this sent a procession of about two hundred, head ed hy William.Crockcit. Crockett reined up and, without inquiring what was the matter, commenced cursing a white man, charging him with shooting and, from his horse, li red upon this man, ami then there were half dozen shots immediate ly retemed. ami the tight then com menced in the main street mid lasted for a quarter of an hour, when the samo was quelled hy tho peaceable citizens of the town and country. I-Our or live negroes. Crockcit included, wem killed and sev eral wounded. l-'very thing was quiet last night and all to day, hut conflicting rumors aro re poned that tho negroes uro threatening to ronow tho trouble.

COLUMBIA, .September '2$.?Tho Green hackers held a mass meeting at Lancas ter yesterday which resulted in a serious riot and the loss of soveral lives. Gover nor llagood received a dispatch lust night from the Hon. (?iles J. .Patterson, of ("hosier, us follows : "Kiot in Lancaster. Three persons killed. Call made on Chester for help. Please telegraph at once to Capi. John B. McFaddon to go with Lee Light Infantry lo their aid." A Int er dispatch was rocoived from Mr. Pat terson, saying thnt tho necessity for help had passed. Telegrams received to day stato thnt while the meeting was in progress a dif tlculty occurred ut tho stand between a ululo man and u negro, in which tho white man was struck a tearful blow on > the head. Several shots were tired, hut I no one was injured by tho discharge tifi Il rearms. A Itorwards a large number of) negroes mounted on horses end arinoti With pistols rodo through tho streets of | Lancaster. A negro named Crockett with a pistol buckled around him headed the , procession, anil on pausing astreet corner where a white man was standing, said "There is the d? d rascal who did iho I firing." The white innn told him that he ' Hod, whereupon Crockett pulled out his I pistol mid til ed at tho white man tho bull ? narrowly missing his head and passing j through the coat of another white man . who was standing by. Three or four shots wore tired at Crockelt, who fell from bis borso dead. The llrimr. then be came general, anil three moro negroes wore killed and six wounded. Tho no groes then rode into another part of tho town und halted. Sorious fears were en tertained that they would renew tho at tack, and to proven! further bloodshed tho Intendant of Lancaster sent to Ches ter for aid. Tho disturbance was, how ever, quieted down without the uso of the military. It is not known whether there wero any casualties among tho whites. 8b far as known hero Col. K. B, C.

The [dai till is a beautiful woman, of ubout twenty-two Mummers. Tho defendant is i|uitoa hand some young man, and at the time of the engagement ivas a widower. Paragraph Urat of the complaint is as follows : H. IttoO, at Lauren f. H , S. t:., in eon- ; bideratioti that tho plaintitt', who was thou | unmarried, would, at the re<|liest of the j tlofeudaut, marry him on request, the j defendant promising to marry the plain- | tilt within a reasonable Ulne." The complaint contained four para- ' graphs, selling forth the facts and griov- ! ancos, paragraph fourth claiming dam- ) agesto the estent of $10,000. After the reading of the complaint tbc defendant putiti an oral demurrer on the ground that the com plaint did not stato faets snf liciont to constitute a causo of action, in this that there was no mutual promise al leged on her part in said complaint. Judge Wallace overruled the demurrer, and ilio ease went to triai. In defendant's) answer to the complaint ho admitted the allegation in paragraph first us to promise of marriage, but denied the all?gations as to other paragraphs. At this stage of the irial the fair plain till', who bad entered the court-room at the opening of Ilio caso, accompanied by two other lad friends, was put on 'he witness Manti. She inailo a very el. r statement as to In; general facts ?s con tained in tho complaint, sustaining her self, under the trying ordeal, with marked composure and womanly bear ing and modesty. Aftern few questions had been asked, a large hatch of letters ) w ere Introduced by her attorneys, writ ten by tho defendant lo tho plaintiff, manifesting the wannest affection. Af ter the reading of the letters two willies Ken wero introduced, who testified as to the high social character ami standing ol plaintiff. These witnesses wero interro- i gated as to their opinion concerning the | ? tonnt of damages the plaintiff* had sus tniued. Tu this question tho dcietice ob jected as improper, contending that the 1 matter of damages was ono wholly for the jury to decide. His Honor overruled the objection, t" which the tiefem.? noted ! exceptions. Ono witness thought tho j plaintiff bail sustained damages to ttic , amount of $5,000 or $10,000. The other witness thought, considering nil tho facts ami ci reuma tun eoa?the phtintilf's climi- I ce? of marriage being much iuipaou'.l or lessened?that $10,000 was littlo enough. The plaintiff here rested her cause, and the deronco introducing no evidence, the argument began. The plaintiff was ably represented by Messrs. Hall Watts and Cul. J. W. Ferguson, tho defence by Col. . I). Cunningham, assistei! by Col. l>. It. Duncan. And wo will bore take oc rasi?n to remark that thr counsel hoth for | the plaintitr and tho defence conducted this delicate case with the utmost fairnosa und courtesy. Col. Ferguson opened the argument for the plaintiff, followed by Cols. Cunningham and Duncan for the defence. Col. Hall closed for tho plain till'. Tho arguments were ali able euof Is. i Aller his Honor bad delivored a fair and ! impartial charge to the jury that body retired, and after an absence of about ono hour returned with a verdict of nino thousand dollars l'or tho platinili". Coun sel for defence mado motion for a new trial, which was refused. It is under stood that the defelico will appeal to the .Supreme Court. t.reat Interest was manifested in this case, the Court-room lining filled lo it" ; utmost capacity, there scarcely being Rtanding-rootn in the aisles. Tho an nouncement of the verdict by the clerk eliciteli the lirst applause wo ever beard given here. His Honor instantly caused its suppression, however, and order was at once restored. ?
