E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 18?i. OME Y BAB.-.~-.?1.00. 8IX MONTOS. 7?c. Two D?lla.r? If sot paid In advance. There will be no eight to seven busi ness this time. Cleveland hos been elected, and will be President. Blaine should have read and profited by Woolsey's advice to Cromwell. It would have saved bim the humiliation of his terriblo overthrow. Blaine announces at last that ho cheer fully submits to the will of the American people. He could neither beg, buy nor steal the Presidency, therefore he sub mits. He hos thus been forced to become graceful. . The official count in New York has been completed, and Cleveland has car ried the State. Blaine's policy of "claim everything" has served only to make him and the Republican managers ri diculous. Il bss not been profitable. We voiUd not be surprised lo see Roscoe Dookling elected to the United States Senate by a combination of Re publican and Democratic votes. This would add gall to the bitterness of Mr. Blaine's overthrow. Cookling helped to defeat Blaine. The statesman from Maine doubtless wishes that be had never compared his rival to a strutting turkey gobbler, and had not meddled in New York politics. Conkling is more than even with Blaine. The magnetic man did not magnetizo anything worth talking about. He went into the canvass dubbed "a plumed knight" by his admiring friends. He bas come out of it "a plucked knave," ns was predicted by his more calculating enemies. , Blaine, like Henry Clay, could not get his party to nominate him on at least two occasions when he could havo been elected. Like Mr. Clay, when he was nominated, be undertook to make a personal canvass for the Presidency, and like Mr. Clay, after tolling a life-time to get the nomination, bis ambition was thwarted and he waa beaten. . Poor Jim Blaine. . I Whatever else may be said of Henry Ward Beecher, be cannot bo charged with proving a "dead bead" in any en- j terprise he engBges in. For instance, the ward in which be resides in Brook lyn usually gives 600 Republican major ity, but this timo it reversed matters and "caBi an anchor io windward" io favor of good government, by giving a Democrat ic majority of 480 votes. It is lucky for the Democrats that tho only point of doubt occurred in New York instead of nome Southern State. Th? people of that great State would not submit to any monkeying of their votes, and hence the man elected will become President. They could look on compla cently at counting out Tilden in Louisi ana, South Carolina and Florida in 1876, but they would not submit to tho same treatment in Now York lu 1884. Governor Oievelaud has directed bis private secretary to burn all letters ad dressed to him and applying for offices from him as President without showing .them to him. Hence no man who wanta an ciEco from tbs newly'?leeie*1 Presi dent need trouble himself to write him about it, - Gov. Cleveland is a sensible man, and does not propose to be worried to death by hungry office-seekers. For this reason bo has made the standing order with reference to all importuning letters addressed to him in . consequence of tho lato election, "Burn this letter." The State LsghnV.sre moeta on next . Tuesday. The session should not be a very long one, as there is no matter re quiring a great deal of deliberation likely to comb before the body this year, except the report of the Commhnion to revise and amend our preseut tax laws. There is no doubt that much valuable time will ho lost in the discussion of the State University and.tho Columbia Canal, but no change in the policy pf the State van or will bn effected by the expenditure of the pent-up rhetoric of the local politi cians'on these . subjects. The business can probably be completed before . Christmas,- though matters may come up which will require a longer time. If ?o? tho wish for ft short session should not bi allowed to unduly basten legislation. The Interests of tho Slate ave not sub? t served by rushing through bills without duly considering them. The nest HOUP o will have a number of able men io it, and we have no doubt that Its action will bo judicious ?nd conservative. There ia great difforenco of opinion among Southern Democrats as to whether tho Tammany Democrats or tho County Democracy is responsible for .cutting down Cleveland's vote in tho city of Nsw York. The ' two . Democratic tickets ;. there, taken together, received about seventy thousand votes moro than tho Republican city ticket did, though Cleve land only received 43,000 votes more than Blaine. Thia shows that about fifteen thousand ciiy Democrats voted for Blaine. There ia no doubt that trading waa done to bring about this result? The city government of New York Is second in the patronage ead money which it controls only to tho national government. It is, therefore, ? prise well worth the most rigorous contest to win, and for nome years past ''here has bee? ai belief that tho Democratic national ticket has been traded off lo secura the local elly ticket. It was hollered that John Kelly, as tho bead of Tatntr.aey, traded off Ha?copk four vesrs ago, and it WM DJ 'generally, feared thai be would serve Cleveland the came way this tiree* 7/he" 'figures quoted above show tb at ibero was trading' between th? Republican*/and aoaio porten of tho Democrats is fi ow York, ?md ii ta natu r*$ enough to fay it to Joh^Kcliy and .Tawbt&ny,-'vptfcey wera fha men aboni.<*tioao -good . : falW tyV?j?f?mtm hau the wOftt ; doubt, ia thief'instance, hoover. Ve believe "j that 'Kelly, is ?jnjusi?y.; suspected, fort the. ^t?r^:;eho^.';ib?t^^b,.*w Kelly's '. .ticket "\ Ctov?lsac? ranwell "islao, ?Rd where the County Democracy ran ahead, Cleveland ran behind. It in, therefore, ovideot to us that Kelly was true to tho party, and that tho County Democracy traded Cleveland off to elect their ticket. They probably expected that as Kelly was suspected they could get tho benefit of trading, elect their ticket by it, and have Kelly blamod for tho Democratic defeat which was likely to follow, Quite a number of persons do believe that Kelly proved treacherous, but wc think that the comparison of thc figure? In tho election will convince any person that Kelly has proven true to the party, while the County Democracy bas been recreant. Now tbat thc Democrats bavo carried the Presidency, they should force the elections in the city of New York to be held in an off year, which would destroy the opportunity for trading olT the Pres idential ticket. This would make New York a safe Democratic State. Oflt ori'OKTUNlTY. The National Democratic party has before it now a great opportunity for firmly establishing itself in the hearts of the people, and of givlr.g to the country and administration which will ndvocnte the bests interests of every section of our common country. To accomplish this it must plant itself firmly upon principle, for the protection of the lives, the liberties and tho properly of our citizeus. It must pursue that conserva tive, safe policy which runs no risks| which tries no doubtful experiments, It must rnnp out and maintain a steadfast policy, which will give confidence in its acts mid bo creditable to its judgment, This is absolutely necessary in order tc foster investments and encourage the development of our material resourcea, Its policy should be vigorous and just, It should proceed nt onco to restore out navy to efficiency, to tho end that oui government may command and enforce respect.from abroad. It should so modi fy our shipping laws ss to estnblisb n merchant marine for this country. It it a humiliating sight for Americans to see the commerce of this great country mostly enrried on In ships owned by foreigners. It should be corrected, and such policy inaugurated as will induce Americans to build and own the ships which carry the gold-bearing commerce of our fertile land to every people. Il should elovato the character and tone ol tho public officers of tho government all over the land. Men should not only bc required to be competent for the oificei to which they nre oppoiuted, but they should likewise bu required to beni reputations for honor and morality which will give a dignity and a respect to thc government and its representatives which mere capacity can never do. The Dem ocratic party should, in this respect move above the methods and the persone1 of the ward politicians, who have sc largely controlled the Republican party and giving to the country an administra tion of statesmen and patriots-an ad ministration which will inspire higt motives and inculcate worthy method; io the politics of this country. It should also carry the governmenl back to tho principles upon which it wai founded, and make it a government ii reality as well as in nsme for the people To this end the taxing power of tb? nation should be considerately exercised and no greater revenues should be col lected from our citizens than shall bi necessary to defray the expenses of ai efficient' government, economically ad ministered. There should be no surplu accumulation of revenues in the treasury to tempt the formation of combination: to spend it on jobs of various kiuda For this reason, tbs present tariff laws o the United States should be revised, am the duties considerably reduced. Tbl reduction should be arranged so as ti save to the people over one hundrei million dollars per year, and should bi so arranged as to disturb as little a possible the exlstiug Industries of ou country. In other words, we ebouli have a reduction of the tariff, arrange* in sneh manner as to give protection a an incident, but not as the objeot to ou lading industries.. It should be a fixed policy of th administration to give tbe greatest re spent and freedom to the States of th Union io the administration of theil laws, only exercising federal authorit; ..-.hero the aseds of tho genera! govern ment render it absolutely necessary. Tx the end that all irritating influences ma; be avoided, federal. officers should b appointed who oro Identified in cullur and In interest with the people bf th several States, but wuos? character am fidelity to right and duty would raak them true and efficient in the discharg of their official trusts. It should ba tho policy of the Demo oratio party to elevate the citizenship o the government, and to secure this reaul in addition, to the force of exemple I the character of its officers, it shout from time to time, as the needs of th country appear, make such moderst appropriations aa may bo necessary t assist the States, in proportion to thel illiteracy, in educating the youth of th country. It should also foster and encourag wherever opportunity 'presents, the di velopment of the vest material renou rei of our country. By thia means it may become the psrl of the whole people,, and give to ot government an. era of ideal peace an prosperity. ? ? ? .-. BOIiUTFUI. l'OMC?. . The Charleston Nett? and Courier at vocateo giving sn Independent Repob! can ? position In President Cleveland Cabinet, as a recognition of their seri ces in the late election. There is ri doubt that the Independent Rep?blica! saved us the State of New York, st theroby seco red Cleveland's election, 1 ca* sente of,the term; but TVS do.nt believe that tbe Independent Republics vote wSB near so large as was anticipait by. some Democrats. It was a lucky vq to have, though it waa small, but Pres Wt?? Cleveland cannot put every inri ecce that helped to make him Preside in the Cabinet. There is eo doubt tb Henry Ward Beecher influenced vot eootyjo. to change the voti in the Sta of Now Yorky bni lt wo?id jcarts??y ? desired, to seo him in tho Cabinet, fol Kelly, likewise controlled moro tbi enough vote* to determino the elecUo but he ought not to go Into the Cabin) For the matter of influence, wo have no doubt thattheltuv. Bu robard, in charging that the Democratic party represented "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion," <n his famous address for the clergymen :'. >ew York to Mr. Blaine, unintentionally caused moro men to vote against Blaine than enough to defeat him in New York. Or yet again, it is almost certain that James Mulligan changed more than enough men to defeat Blaine, by pub lishing that last batch of Blaine?Fisher letters, but he ought not to be placed in tho Cabinet. The protection Democrats and the free-trade Democrats each ca-.t more vote? for Cleveland in New York and elsewhere than enough to control tho election, but it would be a fatal poli cy to give each of these factsms, aa such, a place In thc Cabinet. Therefore it will be seen that the Democratic party owes it? success to a great combination of in fluences, and that it cannot, if it wanted to do so, give each influence that helped to secure its triumph a place in the Cabinet, for the position? aro not numer ous enough to go around arnon? them. The Cabinet i? not the proper place to uso as a reward lor political services. It ia tho private contine! and confidential ud viser of tho President, and no mau should bo put into it who is not thor oughly identified with the fate and tho interests of the dominant party. The Independent Republicans are not so identified, and four years hence are as apt to be against us ns with us. They havo been with the Republicans hereto fore, und were in accord with their pint form this time, but left their party because of personal objections to the nominee of that party. It would, there fore, be the wornt imaginable policy for President Cleveland to divide his Cabi net by putting a stranger to the party into it. No President baa ever succeeded In such a policy. President Tyler de stroyed forever the old Whig party by attempting to combine it and the Demo cratic party in his Cabinet, and any experiment of that kind now is suro to result in injury to tho party and in dis cord in the Cabinet. We are not un mindful of tho fact thal tho Independent Republicans helped us to win this light, nor are wo ungratoful to them fdr their help. We think they should be recog nized and rewarded for their manifesta tion of patriotism, but there are plenty of places of honor nnd of profit to give them in which thoy will be more uneful to the party nod to the country. They should get acclimated, ns it were, to the Democratic party before they are charg ed with the formulation of tho policy of the party. Wo would like to see Mr. Curtis, given the English mission, and Mr. Schurz sent lo Germany or France, or given positions like District-Attorney, or something pertaining to the fiscal affairs of tho country, where loyalty to tho party would not be a mutter of such prime importanco as with a member of the Cabinet. President Cleveland cannot, in our opinion, snfoly put any ono except men who are Democrats from principle into hil- Cabinet. If ho tries to compose it out of conflicting intereso*, or d?n?rent parties, we predict that disaster will Boon overtake both him and his party. This Settles lt. BOSTON, November 15.-A special to the Herald from Augusta, ?ava : Mr. Blaine regards the official connt in New York as practically settling the Presi dential question. Blaine, it is ?tated on the best authority, received this afternoon a telegram from New York announcing thc completion of tho official canvass in that city ?nd informing him that the plurality for Cleveland in thal State would be 1,137. The same nuthority snys Blaine accepta the result very cheer fully, and has no regrets growing cut of his connection with the campaign. He feels that he made a good fight, and he gracefully bows to the verdict of the American people. He believes the Re publican party will prove true to ita grand past, and wili increase in strength with the coming years. He expects that in 1888 it aili again be called back into power. Blaine (paves for Washington the middle of next week, whero bis family will spend tho wiuter. He has leased the "Sargent Home," in Farragut Square, and will shortly resume his woik on ibo second volume of "Twenty Years in Congress." The volume will be ready by next June for publication. NEW YORK, November IC-1 a. m. Tho Tribune, gives Blaine a plurality of 57,784 outside of Ne? York and Kings Counties, with Erle and Greene Counties Complete, btit not officially declared. In Kings County they give Cleveland 16,746 plurality, and in New York County 43,064-making bis plurality in the State 1,076. WASHINGTON, November 15.-The National Hepubliean prints the following to its New York money article : "Elkins telegraphed his friends last night that he conceded New York State to Cleveland by about 1,800 plurality." - Cleveland's administration will dis abuse the colored people of many preju dice.! and delusions which their black and white bosses have distempered them with. They ?ill be safer sod happier under an honest Democratic demonstra tion. - We learn that the negroes In the Mount Gallagher section of the county have been powerful ly stirred np and frightened by some designing persons, who have persuaded them that since Cleveland ls elected it is the purpose of the white people of this 8into to enact laws re establishing tho whipping post, and that they intend to whip the negroes on all occasions, whether found guilty or not.- Whether or not the negroes bcllevo ?his concocted story, it is used ka a pre text, and thay are getting ready in largo numbcra to emigrate to Arkr r,?a?. The stampede extends through a section extending from Mount Gallagher to the Fork, nbout thirteen miles.-laurens Merchant and Farmer. - It hos been demonstrated time .and again that the parlor stove is not a safe placo tn which to deposit bank notes, tittil pcoplo will uso it for thf.t purpose in - sptto of ireqnent losses. The , latest victim of this kind of folly ia a Brooklyn painter, -aha sold out his business a short tiue since far t&OO, which be gave to bis wlfo for temporary, safe-keeping while preparations wero mado for a European trip. She concluded no bargUr would ever think of looking in thu parlor stove Jd* tho money and carefully concealed it therein, not telling any member of ber family what oho bad doue. A few days afterward the husband hid occasion to lighi bis pipe ?od dropped the half burned match in the stove. When the wife looked for he? money abe found only so^dbnrnea frs|rme|}ui of paper, f FEARS OF COLORED PEOPLE. A Wild Notion That They Will he Return ed to Klwvery. So preposterous is the idea that the negroes are in danger of being returned to slavery because tho control of the Government is about to pass to thc Dem ?crata that no intelligent person would for a moment think that they entertained a fear of anything of tho kind if the evidence to "the contrary were not so strong. A very large portion of them are seriously alarmed, not only here in the South, hut also at Washington, where it would reasonably he supposed thal their minds could easily be disabused of so false a notion, because the percentage of those ol them who know the truth is so much larger there than here, and be cause the opportunities for communicat ing with them in a way likely to be effective aro so much better lhere than here. When the matter is thoughtfully con siderefl, however, it is not KO very remark able that the most ignorant of the colored people should be troubled with doubts and forebodings of danger. Their sphere of observation has been extremely limi ted. They have not yet reached that point where they aro able to grasp the actual facts of tho situation and form a conclusion of their own. They ure to bo pitied. Only the heart less will attempt to increase their alarm. Just at this time any suggestion to them that they are to be put back into slavery, although spoken only in jest, is pretty certain to he accepted by them as con veying a hidden meaning, and to still further excito their fears. Their preachers, on whom they are accustomed to rely, nre showing them selves to bc very poor guides and teachers, instead of telling them the truth, some of them strivo to fill their minds with false impressions. If these preacher.* do not know what the truth is they ought to have sense enough to find it out, so as to bo able lo tell it to those who are in a great measure dependent upon them. Thc Southern white people have only the kindest feelings for the colored peo plc They remember well the time when they trusted to them their property and the lives of those they held most dear, and the negroes proved faithful to the trust. They are now doing all they can to help them to reach a higher plane of civilization. They tax themselves to keep up the negro schools, nnd they never refuse to contribute liberally to any negro charity. The while people of the South expect that the colored people will always form a part of the Southern population, and even if they were not kindly disposed toward them, they know that lt is for the interest of both races that tho most har monious relations should be cultivated. Tho negroes have no cause for uneasi ness. When the Democrats take possess ion of the Government those who are now disturbed by fears respecting their freedom will not know it unless they aro told. All the indications are that a Democratic administration of a flairs will be better for them thar, a Republican administration has proved to be.-From the Savannah News. - Tho people of Greenville will vote on the local option question on Novem ber 29. - A female base ball club will play two games in Augusta on the l'J:h and 20th of this month. - A current conundrum now is : Will Blaine ever run again ? Undoubtedly-he will run to seed. - Tho friends of temperance in Abbeville County are securing signers to a petition asking the Legislature to pass a resolution directing a vote to be bcid on the prohibition question in tbat county. - English Cook, a white man, bought a norse from a negro at Marion on last Monday, and gave him a bill for $50 made by the Saddler Business College, for their own use, and which is of no value whatever, being only used by the students of their institution ns imitation money during their term. - The greatest depth BO far discovered in the ocean is 26,850 feet, five miles, or about 2,200 feet less than thc height of the world's loftiest mountain peak, Mount Everest, one of the Himalaya chain, which is found to be not less, and apparently a little more, than 29,000 feet above the'sea Ittel. - J. D. Mock, who was a member of j Company E, Fourteenth ti. C. V., McGowan's Brigade, ind who was badly wounded on the memorable 13th De cember, 1802, at Fredericksburg, Va., and who has been Buffering ever since, nearly twenty-two years, from the effects of his wound, is now in Atlanta under going the amputation of his leg. -. By the election of Cleveland the rights of the negro will not be interfered with. The negro bsa proved very clearly that he is not necessary at present to either party politically. Let him now learn that he can be of immense value to the country by doing well the work to which hs is appointed. Lei him bend his energies to six day's.labor in every week, and to do his work in a masterly style. Let him teach his children io stay st home and lead honest and upright lives. So soon as the colored people become respectable they are going to be respected.- Carolina Spartan. - James S. Blaine, the cousin of his cousin, is quoted us saying in Pittsburg : "Personally I like Jim, but politically I think he ls a shade trickier than I like. For twenty years ho bas been sustained by the hopo of being President. It was his only ambition. He lived, moved and had his being with the simple hope cf j some day being President. Now his hopes are blasted. His monumental ambition will crumble and in the great wreck his life will bo crushed out." - The Republican papers are getting rather hoarse and tired abusing tho re suit and trying to depress the country with gloomy forebodings. Several of them have turned over a new leaf, and begin to betray expectations that the country will live through it. Even the New York Drtlune admits that there is "no present dang?t" of a change in the tarin. Two weeks ago it was claiming that mills would stop the day after' elec tion and never resume, if Blaine was not elected. Salo of Kotes and Mortgage.
