The time for another State ami Fi de rai election has arrived, and on next Tuesday tlic voter? of South Usrolina will be culled upon to express their sov ereign will as to whether the Democratic party nlnill continue to govern this State, or whether a mongrel organization o? malcontent oilice hunters and negro lie publiciuiH Hindi be. entrusted with line important duty ; and alno to decide whether South Carolina will contribute her voice in the National Congress to the establishment of Democratic su premacy there, or will ehe, as tlio people of Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania are throwing oil' the tyranny corrup tion of Republicanism, be found sending representatives to check thin wave of re form in Federal politics. The answer to these questions in of course in doubt, from the fact that a crowd of ignorant, if not vicious, voters exceed the intelli gent and property holding clnsn of our citizens. They vote the ticket opposed to good government, by whatever nnme it is termed. Their succcsh can only bo averted by intelligent, earnest mid dili gent, wotk. With this work tlio result ?h Hiife for good government, and without it, tbc result is equally certain to bo in favor of mongrelUm. In this contest which in now at hand, the people of An derson County are culled upon to take a part, and our friends nil over the Slate are expecting that we shall do our winde duly. The vote of Anderson County may decide the result of the State elec tion, and of the election for a member of Congress. The election will occupy but one day. It will not como again for two yearn. It is therefore the duty of every citizen to go to the poli?, and not only vote, but work to make the vote of this stronghold of Democracy as large as pohsiblc. Every vote will be needed, und the consequences depending upon this ?lection are ho great that wo can easily afford to devote one day to the service of our country. The saving to Anderson County in four years of Democratic rule lias been $75 000 o*'cr the last four years cf Radi calism. This is more than twenty dol lars for every white voter in the County. It proves that Democratic, government saves, on an average, five dollars a year to every voter in this County, uud where the man owns much property it is more than this. In addition to thin it bas given us|peace nnd security, mid is adding yenr by year to the material development of our country. Our property bas in creased in value, and prosperity is once again dawning on the State. VVe cannot, we must not, allow these blessing* to be taken from us. Duty to our State, duty ?O O?r f???ij 1.1 C", duty tG a duty to posterity, demand that we con tinue these blessings for South Narolina. The reputation of Anderson County re quires that we shall givo a handsome Democratic majority this year. We must go to work and do it. Thereforowe urge every man in the County to lay aside his business on the seventh and dovote the day to working for the Democratic party. Go early to the polls and stay until the victory, and a grand one, is achieved. Work to secure a full vote. Induce your neighbors to go to the polls, and persuado the colored voters to go with you for the maintenance of good government. It will be too late to work after the election is over. Tho die will be cast on next Tuesday. If you ever intend (o help your State and your County do it then, and in future days you will feel tlio just pride of a personal interest in tho tri umph of good over evil, of intelligence over ignorance, of virtue over vice, of honesty over corruption. Men of An derson, your reputation is nt stale I Do not, for a little personal advantage of do ing a little work on your farms or in your houses of business, peril you Stnte. Give t?j one day of your time and work for our cause. Remember your glorious work in 1876, and imitate it now. The necessity is as great now as it was at that time. Then let us ho up and doing, that our proud position may not be exchanged for an humbler seat, and that disaster may not overtake us and oar State. By order of the County Executive Com mittee. E. B. MURRAY, County Chairman. Colored .men of A ndcrsou County, will yon disgrace yourselves and your race by voting for a ticket that has on It a man like Dr. Durham, a pretended preacher, who. said that ho could prove from "Holy Writ that the negro has no more soul than a mole or a dogi" We Ho not believe yon will do it. Go to work ! Your Stato is in danger, nnd every dictate of patriotism calls opon you to resene her from th? Impend* ing peril. . ' : . (??t Hp y un r registration ticket und cany it to the poll* with yon on Tues day. If yon leave it belliud you cauuol vole, Don't fail to attend to this. Maj. Titos. II. Russell wants to go tu Congress, but tlie people want Col. I). Wyatt i ken tugo, hence Maj. Russell will he allowed to stay ai home by about ten thousand majority. Do not neglect to vote for I>. Wyiitt iken, for Congress. Kvcry Democratic Congressman will lie needed to lieiji coutil the vote for ('resident Iwo years from now. We ilo not want any Green backcrs there to vote with the Uadiculn in counting this vote. Vole the Democratic ticket, tlie whole Democratic ticket, and nothing but the Democratic ticket, on next Tuesday, without a scratch or any change in either the State or the County ticket. It is the voice ol the people regularly ex pressed, and its such should be obeyed. The election on next Tuesday is tuie of the most supreme importatici! to tlie people of South Carolina. No man who is true to himself or his country, will fail to use everv effort in hi* power lo secure a full vole at the precinct to which he belongs. vet y voie may he necessary to save the ?Siale from Greenback negro domin?t ion. There will he tickets for and against the Constitutional Amendment, redu cing the urea of Counties, sent to each voting precinct in the County, so that every citizen tan vede as be pleases on ibis importuni question. Those who de sire to cut down the size of the present ' Cou oli te should voto "yes," while those who oppose it should Vuie "no." Look at your ticket and see (hat you vote as you wisii in this mailer. Anderson County must give three thousand majority on next Tuesday. Co to work ?11 over the County, friends, and we can do even more than that. Recol lect you will only have to give one more lay to politics in the next two years, so j you can alTord to make the sacrifice necessary to leave oil' your work for one day in order to serve your Slate. Recol lect this, and be on the ground early next Tuesday. The vote of Anderson County may save the Stale, so let us give a good vote that will keep Anderson County in tho van of the State Democracy. Work ! work ! work ! will he necessary to hold our former majority. Although the people of Anderson have been greatly harassed with frequent elections, no true man will hesitate to render the service necessary to retain control of South Carolina on next Tues day. It is a duty we owe to the present amito future generations, for if wo loso South Carolina now, we will pass under negro domination for many years lo como. This would check progress, would deter enterprise und would stagnate eveiy species of business. It would restoro political plunder, and would destroy all values in South Carolina. Hy all that is good in government, by all that is safe and upright in the conduct ofour State's affairs, and by tho dread we have of po litical plunder and degradation, it is the absolute duty of every man, not only to vote, but to work for tho while man's ticket on next Tuesday. It must be elected or Smith Carolina will be ruined. Turn out on next Tuesday and vote for Thompson and the entire Stale ticket. Then go to work and get every decent colored man who has any integrity or intelligence to vote this ticket. Col. Thompson has given them longer sessione of tho public schools and botter schools, than they ever hud before. Ho has shown his willingness to treat tiiem fairly, ?~?d will ntieu elected give them good government. There is no reason why any colored man in the State can not consistently support Col. Thompson. Ho is a better man, an abler man, and a more competent man, than tho miserable apology for a nominee fouud in J. Hen drix McLane. Col. Thompson lias al ready done a thousand timee more for the colored people of South Carolina than McLane ever has, or ever will, or ever could do for them. If there is any thing ?ke appreciation of kindnesH or gratitude in the colored people for the great boon of education to their children, s'uey wiii vote lor Col. Thompsou. Tell them these things, nnd wo will beat McLane with the colored vote in Ander son Couuty. The Co?;-ro.sslimnl Ili strici.

Inovery county there aro enough colored Doino* crata to cotintorbalaneo any expected loss by the desertion of straggling Green back er* and Independents. The Democrats will carry six of tho seven Congression al Districts in tho Stato, unless thero bo a far more serious failtiro of white voters than thero Is any reason to anticipate. There; is evory Inducement to tuo peo ple to vote solidly for tho Democratic candidates for Congress. Upon the Doni cerata In Congress tho whole South rolles for protection against oppressive legisla tion, and from tue Democrats in Congress has conio tho only legislativo relief that the South has obtained. To tho Demo crats in CongrcsH we owo the repeal of tbc law requiring the iron-clad oath to bo taken bv jurors iu the United States Courts, and lo tho Democracy, nUo, wo owo primarily our freedom from tho presence of Unitod States troops at the polls. In Democratic hands, the punte controls the sword. There Is much morn to bo done. Tburo will bo no fair trials iu tho Federal Court? in tho South until aomo restric tion shab be placed upon tho present ar bitrary authority of the Judges aud pros ecuting officers, and for such legislation as is requ isi to we must look to the Demo cratic party alono.

KlUTOtt: One of Ilio Constitu tional Amendments Bubmilletl to tlie peo ple for ratificulioii or rejection on the7ih of November next, excites less attention than its importance demands. I refer to the formation of new <' unities. The bill, as originally reported by the t.'ominiltee, made population?-the hundred and twenty fourth part of the State?the standard for tin- new County. If the Constitution of the State is to he changed ' in this matter, this would have been the right rule to he adopted ; hut the substi tute of territory?four bundled .-quare miles instead of >ix hundred ami twenty five square miles, ?is at present ?was passed by the Legislature. As it now ; stands toe amendment negative.', till) ar- j gumcut urged Or it- adoption, either lor political reason* or as a matter of busi nose convenience to the people. Many town.-, wishing to lu- County Meats, will be disappointed, for they will be unable to obtain the riquind territory around them ; and when a nett County is pro posed the difference ol opinion between those who favor and lluwe who oppose a new County, will he a source of discord, and consequently an elemen! of political wea? m. -s to the Democratic parly, which must maintain i In supremacy in the State. ' Hut all change from the present Con stitutional rule will hi- injurious to the bc>t interest of the Slate ; the evil results (lowing from small Counties are matters not of speculai ion, hut of actual expe rience, as seen in other States where there are small Counties. The people should remember the heavy expenses, and of necessity, the burden some taxes that will he incurred in the erection of public buildings for new Counties, increase of County officers, whoso salaries wiil have to be paid. There was much opposition to tiie appro priations made by the last Legislature to the State University, but the tax neces sary to pay this appropriation is very small compared to the onerous taxes that will be incurred if the Legislature makes now Counties. Small Counties increase litigation by the convenience and facility with which people may go to law. This is shown in Georgia, where they have twenty-one Judicial Circuits; whereas, in Sonili Carolina, we have but eight?and yet Georgia has but fifty five per cent, more population. From the best inform?ljon I can obtain, the average Georgia Judge has as much business in Court as the South (Ja rol i na Judge. The division of Counties will operate injuriously upon popular sentiment, iu separating us, as it were, from a heritage ! of principles and traditions which make op so much of the political and social wealth of a country. Something of that sentiment called patriotism lives in the pride a citi7.cn feels in the history of his community. Tbc crcaiion of small Counties lowers the tone of a community, political and personal. In the average of cases a large County is apt to have a higher .standard in law, medicine and politics; and thus a belter influence ex erted throughout the country. Less merit muy succeed before a smaller con stituency. A notable characteristic of popular elections consists in the almost control iug influence which families of large connections have ; so true this, that we frequently bear that a candidate for office will bo elected because his relations are so numerous. Perhaps no allusion is made to his personal merit. Now the American idea is, or ought to be, that office is to be conferred on him who will use best the power conferred, and not as a concession or favor to an influential family. The smaller the urea of territory in a County, it is evident, the more tho offices ti! Le ?t the d:"p05?! or control of ?#u? or a few strong families. In largo Coun ties, extending beyond the local influenco of familier!, the personal merit of an as pirant foroffico will be better appreciated, and begin to tell. A little thought here will satisfy the reader that such must bo the result, or if he will go to those States in which small Counties are the rule, ho will find tho facta pointed out above in practical operation. If tho people wish to maintain an eco nomica'! Couuty government, if they pre fer the higher tone in their politics aud the professions, if ihey desire the highest development to the individual man, and not the growth of family influence, if above all things they need the unity of the Democratic party, as representative of thoir intelligence and their civilization, then it will be wise to vote against that Constitutional Amendment referred to them, that lesseuH the area of territory necessary in the formation of new Coun ties.

Washington Letter to Cincinnali l?nquirer. ? Tho opposition to the domocratio government in this State baa weakened considerably.

No I t Ion Can Vole in Sont It Carolimi* The decision of Judge I'rossloy in the Oraiigoburg election cases is, in mir \ iow, Ilio lilOHl important judicial deli vei unce that ha- been had in this State hinen tin; adoption of the now Constitution. It is important by reason ol it-, application to the political situation in South Carolina, and. besidi -, by reason of its prospectivo effect in elevating iho-e u bo, m the view ? ol some member* of the Protestant Epis copal Congre**, can never bomatle to ap- ' recluto fully Ilm obligation*ol'lhu inorai Under the Election law passed hist | winter, every uloctor in .South Carolina I ^ be registered, at tin- time and in ? the manner prestai bod, and no person who shall noi have registered ?ran vote al I any election. It is provided that ho per -? ti who dodi "have been ronvieted of treason murder, robbery of the goods or chattel* of another, with <o- without violonco, whelber taken from the persoti or otherwise, or of duelling, shad be .tl luwed to vote." Such prison-, therefore, can not be registered as voters In Or ungchoig County a large number o? no groe? were refused registi.it ion because they had beon convicted of lareenv, and soiiio of them look an appeal, un 1er the law, from the decision of the Supervisor <>i Registration to tin- Hoard <?t' Supervi sors. Tho Hoard derided that the appli cants had been properly rejected, and an appeal was then taken to tin' Circuit Court. ThogrnundH of the appeal were varions; but the principal one was, that the Constitution of tuo stato probi bita ihn Legislature from passing any law "that will deprivo uny of the eitl/.ens of ibis ."-tate of the right of suffrage, except foi I reason ' roblary, or duelling, whero of h person shall have been duly rio I and lOiivleted," wheroa* the presont Election law disfranchises persons woo j have been ronvieted n| granii or petit larceny, wbieh oU'once, in tho technical sensit of the Words, is not robbery, .hi Ige Preasley derides that the inability of convicted thieve* 1?? bold any olllt'C, or to vote, ?>r testily in Ilio Courts of Jus tiee, iva* established under ilio Common law of England long before tho adoption of the Constitution of 1*08, and Unit no legislation on the Ktibjuet was necessary. The Election law dor.-, not make tho law or this Hiibject, but merely declares it. Moreover, the present Constitution ex pressly recognizes the disability of irions !>y providing that "no person shall ho disfranchised for felony or other eriiiioa coniiiiitted while aneli person waa a slave.'' The inference is irresistible that convicted fuloilH, who never wore edavea, and were, therefore, always responsible for their acts, aro disfranchised, and that those wdio onco were slaves lost their right to vote, on conviction of a felony committed alter they became free. .Indue Pre.ssley decide*, therefore, that no con victed thief can vote in Smith Carolina; anil bis ruling is broader in its scopo. The effect of the decision is that no con ricltd fetnn >>/ any limi, (who was a free man when eouvicted,) ran voto at the elections in this State. The housebreak ers, tho ravisher, the forger, the rioter, is disfranchised as well as tho common thief. So is applied to the present politi cal system the rule which obtained pre vious to lHiW, under tho Constitutions of 177S, 17110. and ISW. Tho far-reaching consequences of this broad and salutary dcclsiou eau we easily discerned. Every man in South Carolina, wo repeat, who has been convicted of a felony is, by that furl, ponnanonlly de barred the right to voto. In the case of the colored people this applies only to convictions after they l?tenme free; and so rom?non has been tho com mission of felonies by the negroes that there can bo no doubt that the number of electors in tho State w ill ho reduced by many thou sands, and the character of the electoral body bo correspondingly improved. It will not bo claimed anywhere that a thief <ir any other felon, who lias not been par doned, simuld be permitted to poison the fountain of government at it* son reo by voting at popular elections; and it will not be domed that, in many respects, ex clitalon from tho suiVrago on account of arson, murder or forgery is more just than such disfranrhisetuent for illiteracy or poverty as obtains in New England. An honest man ?h the noblest work of (Jod ; ami the inoro wo roveroneo Repub lican institutions and the more wo cling to tho right of ilio people to govern them selves, the moro resolute sbolliti we bo in our efforts to purify and elevate the char acter of the great body of votor*, who form our government, make our laws, and elect our OiUoers. From a moral standpoint, also, Judge Pressiey'a deci sion laof the utmost consequence. What preaching, teaching, exhorting and plead ing will not induce, the prospect of dis franchisement bid* fair to accomplish. We mean that colored people w ho cannot be inado to understand that it is wrong to steal a neighbors chickens, will be in dliceri, in many oases, to forego that recre ation, and other felonious diversions, when they understand Hint the effect is to depriv? them of the right to vote. Wo are informed that in Nowberry County, In this Stato, where convictions for steal ing were too numerous to attract atten tion, tbero bus not been a singlo convic tion of a colored man for stealing since tho new law declaring the disfranchisi? mont of thieves was passed. The State, in disfranchising thieves, exercises an In fluence " hie!:, 1:: the rudimentary moral condiiiou of the negro, bus moro forro and power than all tho churches and preachers combined. Tho grand and broad principle that no unpariloued felon can or shall vote in South Carolina is a platform upon which tho whole- peuph) ran stand. Thuro is no educational qualification or property qualification In this State. So long us the citizen is honest, so long as bo is not a convicted felon, ho is entitled to voto. Thoso who have been convicted already eau no longer Uikc part in tho govern ment of the State, and thoso who sball bo eouvicted hereafter will thereupon be civ illy and politically dead. This opens to the Stato an iiveuue of escape from the dangers and humiliations of unrestricted negro sun rage. And no wrong can be done, as tho pardon of the Executive of one who has been eouvicted of felony. Wo have gone then very for towards tlio heaven of safety when it has been estab lished that no felon, big or little, can vote lu South Carolina.?Aeu* ami Ctmrier. Salo of a Menagerie. The greatest event of the day in Co lumbia has been tho sale by Sheriff Row an as receiver of tho entire outfit of "tho Maybury, Pullman A Hamilton eight grand united mastodon rIiows," consist ing of wild animals, birds, cages, wugnns, harness, horses and all tho paraphornalla pertaining to a cirrus company. Tho salo look placo on the Stato Fair grounds, and was attended by quito a number of per sona from the city aud by soveral circus mou. Tho ?alo was conducted by Capt. Rowan, and the property was bid off by Mr. L. T. Levin. The bidding was lack ing in spirit, and tho pmperty went at a great sacrifice, netting altogether ub jul $5,000. Twenty-one draft-horses wore sold at prices ranging from $2d to $)3<i. Sells Brothers bought in tho most of do animals at price* greatly below their rcil value. For the elephant "Emperor" they guvo $1,025 ; for two small elephants 9?00 each ; for a pair of lions and cage (430; for the hyena and cago $U0; for a gray and a black wolf and cage $25 ; lor an antolope and Axis doer and cage $120 ;, for a dromedary $25 ; for an morir?n oik $12.50, for a aobra and cago $400. Mr, Frank Thompson, ?ecrotary of tho Cin cinnati Zoological (?arden, bought a jaguar and capo for $250, and a South A menean llama and cage for $30. Mr. F. W. (?roen, of Columbia, bought three monkeys and cago for $50. Mr. E. 8. Houknlght, of Columbia, bought four cockatoos, a red mueraw and cage for $130. Sell Brothers also bought tho tab leau wagon, loaded down with circus furniture, for $250. Mr. E. F. Gary, of Columbia, bought tho circus u \t and tho m imagerie tent for $111. Eleven property wagons loaded with tent poles, cloths, ?te., were sold to various purchasers for from $25 to $75 each, and twonty-threo Bets of doublo harness wore kuockod down from $5 to $35. The total sates to-day as already stated netted about $5,000, and tho amount realized at the former salo will run the property of tho circus com pany to between nine aud ten thousand dollars, not more than one third ita actual valuo and less thau half enough to pay off the indebtedness of tho concern. Tho Pullmans aay thai tho show could bo put on the road again with a completely new outfit for about $30,000 In cash, but other estimates place tho valuo of tho property at about $05,000. It is certain that the property sold to-day was knocked down at an enormous sacri tier. Tho Sells will allow their purchases to romain hero until the coming of their show on No vember 4.

The "majority" Kpokeii of above means majority in population -the majority in voters is about one-fifth of the popula tion. Can any one lind in the above facts and ligures tiny grounds for the proposed umundmei?? ? The arguments urged by the advocates of the amendment are, 1st, that it would promote the convenience of the people who now live long distunes from Court Homes; and, 2nd, that it would prepare the way for the formation of new D?mocratie counties. The lirst argument is a good reason tor euttiug tlm larger counties down to 025 square miles, but is no reason for forming little cow-pen counties of ? 00 square miles. As lutilo other argument, the facts are against it. It might be possible to form two Democratic counties out of each of the following: Greenville, Horry, Lex ington and I'ickeilH ; but not out of any other without cutting oil putt of an au joining comity. Hut suppose a Demo cratic county be created from a Kepubl - county ; it can only he dono by cut ting uff that portion In which the whites predominato; and this would leave the remaining portion mure Republican than it was bet?re, probably hopelessly so. ?? illustrate: new Democratic county could not be formed out of portions ol Newberry and Fairilold, or New berry and Union, or Newberry and Edgeliolu. It might from New berry and Lexington ; but tue effect would bo lo leave Newber a hopelessly black county.

The price. $1.50 a bottle, seemed to be very high at first, but now I think It the cheapest preparation on the globo ; snd, knowing what I do about it, if to-day ono of my family was r.ufforing with that awful disease, I would bave It If it cost $50 a bottle., for I eau truthfully say it has cured my daughter sound and well, and myself and wifo do most heartily recommend your Female Regulator to bo just what it la recom mended to be.
