Careful comparison' based on partial returns from thirty counties, Including Philadelphia and All cg hauy Counties, show a net Democratic gqiu of nearly 4000 votes. The remaining counties ruust.average nearly 200 Democratic gain to elect Packer. Thc majority ol Geary, Republican, in Philadelphia, hy thc Olllcial count ls 3339. Thc Indications arc that both brandies or thc State Legislature will be Republican. Hie latest dispatches from Philadelphia give the composition of thc Legislature as follows: Senate, 18 Republicans to 16 Democrats; House or Representatives, 3d Republicans to 17 Democrats, giving thc Republicans 20 majority on Joint bal? lot. The Radical papera claim thc election or Geary by rrom 500O to 10,000 majority. The Philadelphia Agc, Democrat, claims 6000 majority lor Pucker. WASIIINOTON, October 13-0 P. M. . Tho majority ror Geary in thirty-six conntlcs in Pennsylvania ls nearly 6000 votes. The remaining thirty counties must average one hundred and fifty-seven Democratic gain to ensure thc election of Packer. Thc contest ls very close, bat thc chances arc in favor of Cleary. Ohio. From Ohio we hear that Hamilton County gives Pendleton 600 majority, and elects the entire De mocratio Municipal ticket. It ls now believed that Pendleton ls defeated, but by a very small majori? ty.- The corrected returns may yet elect Pendle? ton. Thc Stato House of Representatives la strongly Democratic. Thc Senate will be Repub? lican. This dereats the State's sanction bf the Fifteenth amendment. A dispatch from Cleveland, Oblo, says that ac? cording to returns from one-third of the State, Hayes, Republican, loaoa 6000 votes since thc last elections. This average carried throughout the State will elect Hayes by 6000 majority. Many or the Democratic strongholds, however, have yet to be heard from. The few detailed relurnB which have been re oelvcd rrom Ohio indicate tho election of Pendle? ton. Iowa. WASniNurON, October 13. As was expected to be tho case, Iowa elects the whole Radical ticket.

Em? brace In the description pino trees nnd rall road trucks, nnd the traveller will not fall to recog? nize tho locality. Within ton yeiirs, the place has grown lVoin a mere wilderness, with Its wayside blacksmith shop, to a town or more than respectable dimensions, and thc eye rests upon as picturesque a collection of fresh look? ing country homes and tidy stores as aro to bc found In this portion of south Carolina. In truth, Florence has all the elements of pro? gress ami expansion. Two trains a doy from Charleston, Wilmington and AuguBta, und one from Cb?raw and Darlington,, rest In Its spa? cious depot, to gather or deposit merchandise and passengers. Thirty or forty merchants, already established herc, are building up a' permanent trade. Cotton from the surround- . lng country ls brought here to bc ginned, baled and shipped. Saw mills aro. ul work In thc vicinity cutting out lumber for home uso and distant markets, and thc handiwork ot thrift and enterprise ls * everywhere observable. Thore aro.four ministers, two or three pretty churches, a graveyard of no usc to*, anybody, and a round dozen of doctors who growl chronically nt thc prevnlllnggood health. The coloVed population arc orderly and lazy, and votton stealing measurably Increased. The fine hotel, so familiar to our soldlCi? during the war, is still kept by Mr. J. W. Gamble, assisted by his son. Architecturally li ls ono of tho prettiest st met ares In tho State, and thc wayfarer ls always suro of a substantial and stomach-satisfying repast. Its a superb place to pick np "personals." As, for Instance, General Joseph E. Johnston and President W. J. Magrath stopped hero yester? day. An old North Carolina farmer,-who lias mode money by producing, buying and ship? ping twelve hundred buBhels of blackberries during last year, ls on his way to a locality near Georgetown to purchase with lils surplus a phosphate plantation. Another stranger ls on his way Crom Philadelphia to look after kaolin -says there's a heap of money In it, and peo? ple don't know it. A third, talking around tho parlor Arc, believes In draining our swamps, and getting out timber. He says that thirty' years ago, until people went wild over cotton, timber was cut into staves, and. constituted a handsome proportion of tho trade of Charles? ton with the West indies and France. Tho suggestions of a fourth Indicate that he has an apt lindo for agricultural machinery, aud that if some Charleston merchant will bring out a slump extractor that will "snake" lightwood roots out of thc ground, ho and his neighbors are prepared to buy haifa dozen. And so on. In short, Gamble's Hotel ls a place where you con bear suggestive thoughts expressed by mou from every part ol' the country and en? gaged In every variety of enterprise. Thc business done herc is chiefly in cotton, brought forward from thc neighborhood, thc merchants supplying In turn thc demands -of the planters. Humor hath lt that a well known Charleston dry goods firm Is about to establish a branch houso at this point. Besides thc handsome lists of Florentine merchants, Cap? tain E. W. Lloyd, formerly of Charleston and captain ot tho Washington Light Infantry, has a carriage factory and steam mill; and Captain' John Wylie has an extcuslvc steam glinting establishment. The Northeastern Railroad shops, under the management of Mr. Daniel Haynes and Mr. Alexander Corrio, also turn ont thc elegant cars and machinery which are to bc seen on that road. The neighboring lauds aro good for cotton planting, nnd arc appreciating In value. Fonn: erly thc planters of this section wcro wealthy. Many of them are rapidly recovering from losses Incidental to the war. Within three miles of Florence there is excellent water powor, and tho wonder ls that some enter? prising capitalist, with tho example of the Au? gusta and Saluda mills before him, dividing immense profits among the owners, and saving fifteen per cent, more than Northern mills, dues not come hero and Invest thirty or forty thoutand dollars In the erection of a cotton factory. If he did no moro, than transfer cotton from tho bale to the bob? bin, he would make his pile. The field ls ample, and "tho enrly birds" In thbTgrowIng town arc destined " to catch tho worm." Another want, which, for their own business advancement, theno live people ur ed, ls a local newspaper. A watchful editor never need hide his candle under a bushel In FLORENCE. THE CHOPS IN THE MOUNTAINS. ?FROU OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] PENDLETON, S. C., October ll. I hove taken some pains to ascertain the following particulars in regard to the crop ol' this section in comparison to that or last year, by visiting many of thc plantations and by eon suiting some of our most Intelligent and prac? tical farmers. The cotton crop will fall off fully one-half, half ol which ls already picked out. Corn on the creek and river bottoms Is os good, if not bettor, than it was last year, but tlie uplands will full short at least two-thirds. Peas sro almost an entire failure. P. H. E. 8.

Mr. T. M. S.

C., April 10, 18G7. My Bear Stuart-You request me to inform you, whether I was not the author of all thc alterations lu the Confederate States Constitu? tion, from thc Constitution 'of the United States T 1 answer no; but as I was the author of a part of them, perhaps thc most Important part, I will briefly state what clauses In tho Contcderate Slates Constitution I am respon? sible for. You ure aware, I presume, that I was aj> polntcd by the vonvenllon the chairman of the Committee ?to Frame a Permanent Con? stitution for the Confederate Slates. The Sunt hern States had seceded from thc United States on account ol ono cause only tho usurpations of the Northern Suites upon thc Constitution of the United States. Con? cerning tho cxpress'powors granted by tho constitution, there lind boon no contention. It was thu inferential constructive powers claimed by tho Northern States for tho Gov? ernment of tito United States, which the South? ern States had opposed as usurpations on tho constitution, beginning with bank, alien and sedition..laws, tariff and Internal improve? ments; finally concluding with slavery and in sectionalism. Wc determined, therefore, to make the Constitution of the Confederate States simply the Constitu? ion of thu United States, as the South had always interpreted lia powers, with only such alterations as would remove ambiguity, and better carry out its plain Intents. Thc South was always satisfied with the Constitution ol' thc United States. When, by usurpation ou tho part of tho North, tltls whole instrument lost Its character, and, from a limited government, the Government of the United Slates was clearly lapsing Into a limitless despotism, tho Southern States seceded. They determined, by . the Constitu? tion of the Confederate States, to perpetuate tho government transmitted to them by their fathers. TIIIB is its Whole purport. Tho two great vital powers In all govern? ments are tho laying of taxes, and tho expen? diture of taxes. These powers decido tho character of every government,, whether lt ls limited or unlimited, federal or consolidated; hence from tho commencement of the Gov? ernment of the United States strife arose as to the extent of Its powers. Tho ono party, chiefly at thc South, contended that power in the Constitution of tho United Slates "bestow? ed on Congress, "to levy and collect taxes, dulles,'' Ac, was merely for revenue to carry on tho Government of thc United States. Thc other party, chiefly at tho North, contended that this power should be exercised for a dif? iere nt and antagonistic purpose-to prevent importations on which taxes may be collected, and thereby promole and encourage different brunches ol'industry by giving them the mar? kets of the United states. Thc one party con? tended that the expenditure of the taxes should bu limited to the exigencies ol' thc Federal Government merely, within thu ob? jects designated in the constitution. The other party contended that they should be ex-. pended to promote Ute general Interest of j commerce, and the indefinite general welfare of the United States. '? 1. At tho head of tho powers granted to Con? gress by the Constitution of thc United States, stands the following clause : Sec. 8r Act 1 : u The Congress shall have power to lay and collect tuxes, duties, Imposts and' excises, to pay tlie debt und pr?vido for tho common de? nni ce and general welfare of Ibo United States." An attempt was mode to alter thu scopo of tlds clause by taking away the comma at tho word "excises," but on re fe re nee to the original manuscript of tho constitution, tho comma was shown to bc correct. Belora I went to tho convention at Mont? gomery,. I hud prepared a book containing cer? tain amendments to tho Constitution ol' thc United States, which might bo adopted by tho Confederate States. That book was be? fore tho committee which framed thc Pro? visional Constitution of the Confederate States. In that book the above clause from the Consti? tution of the United States was modified as follows : "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, Imports and excises, for revenue necessary to pay the debts and carry on the Government of thc Confederacy." The' clause, thus modi? fied, was reported as a part of the Pro? visional ConstituUon, and adopted by thc convention. When tho Committee on tho Permanent Constitution took up this clause for consideration, it was also adopted as a part of | this constitution, nnd*reported lo tho conven? tion. Of course, as lt had already been adopted by thc convention in tho Provisional Constitu? tion, it met no opposition ns a part of thc Per? manent Constitution; but conferring with tho members ol'tho convention, I became satisfied that lt would not accomplish tho object of I limiting taxation to tho simple purpose of revenue. 'To accomplish Dds object, when"tho clause was under consideration In the conven? tion, I offered the following prohibition as an addition: "But no bounties shall bo granted from the treasury, nor shall any duties or taxes on Importations from foreign nations bo made to promote or foster any brand) of in? dustry." This amendment was carried In tho convention. So the clause In the Confederate, suites Constitution, Act l. Section 8, ls as fol? lows: "Tho Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imports and oxclses for revenue ncccssury to say tho debts, pro? vide for tho common defence, and carry on the Government of tho Confederate Slates; but no -bounties shall be granted from tho treasury, or shall any duties or taxes on im? portations from foreign nations be laid to pro? mote or foster any branch of Industry." 2. The appropriation of money from the. Treasury or tho Uultod States for the purpose of internal Improvements had been, for moro than thirty years, ono of tho great disputed usurpations which the South opposed, and had been repeatedly arrested by tho vetoes of dif? ferent Pr?sidents. It had been claimed chiefly under tho power granted In tho Constitution Of the United States to Congress to "regulate commerce wi th rb re I gn nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes." When: thin clause vwos reported by the com? mittee in tho ponmanont Confederate States Constitution, os it stands in the Constitution of tho' United Stats*), and came ap In tho con-; volition ?or consideration. Mr. Toomba, from Georgia, effrecd the following Amendment: "But neither thlB nor any other clauso contain? ed in -the constltutles shall be construed'to"I delegate .the-power ta Congress to appropriate money for ?ate rn al tmpno vernon ts, Ul te nil cd to facilitate t?ereineroo."' I Uni prepared sn amend? ment very rannh tb the same purport, bnt abandoned it, and supported this offered by Ur. Toomba. After considerable debate, Mr. Toomba withdrew tho amendment I imme? diately arose and offered it AS an ame name nt. On the vote being taken, lt was carrie? as a a part of tho Constitution of the Confederate Buttes; os folllbwt: i n 'i "To regulate commerce with foreign na tlons and a m Orig the several States and with the, Indian tribes; but neither this nor say othor clanao '1 contained in the' ; constitution i shall over bo construed to delegate1 tho power j td Cori grafts to appropriate money Cor any in ^Bjrna1. ,.

A mt?thod ought to ,be provided hy whian our hartqrt s?3 rivers rdf??ht h?ve their naviga? tion Improved, 'I accordingly drew Up and read;to the convention (its presentation at that Umo not being la order,)' the following addi? tional amendment : "Except for tho purpose of fu ml sui ri g ll gh ts, i beacons and ; buoy?,, and othor aid tb navigation upon the coasts, and Hie Improvement of our hnrb.w, anti thc re? moving; of obstruction)- In our river naviga? tion, In all which cases Bttch duties shall be laid un the navigation facilitated thereby, iu? may be necessary to pay t io cost und ex? penses." *, After I lind raul this amen-went to thc con? vention and explained Its oncrutlon, Mr. Mar? shall, of Louisiana, caine to my sent and ex? pressed lils approbation of lt. mid nuked roc to let him take a copy ol' ll for consideration. I laid him to take tho amendment and offer it himself, as an amendment to tho constitution. Ho took lt and the day after offered it as an amendment to tho constitution, and it was adopted. Tho whole clause, as modified, stands In thu Confederate States Constitution, Article 1, Section fl, Clause 3. ns follows : "To regulato commerce with all foreign na? tions, and among the several Stales, and among thu Indian trliies; but neither this nor any oilier clause contained In tho constitution shall.ever be construed to delegate thc power to Congress to appropriate money for any In? ternal improvements, Intended to facilitate commerce, except for tho purpose of furnish? ing lights, beacons and buoys, and other aid to navigation upon tho cuostA, and tho Improve? ment ol' our htrbors. and the removing of ob? structions In our river navigation, In all which coses such duties shall hu laid on thu naviga? tion lacllltuted thereby as may be necessary to pay tlic costs and expenses." . . 4. .Tho election ot a President every four years, and the abuse of thu official ?pal ron ago of tho government that tho elections produced, were great evils under tho Constitution of the United States. Thc ie-eliglbllity o? thc Presi? dent was not without danger, as tho rc-ellglbl llty of tho Consuls of Home opened tho way to tho Roman Empire. I brought up this sub? ject before the committee preparing thc con? stitution, and proposed the' extension of Hie term of service of thu President antf vice President of thc Confederate States to six ?ears, and that thc President shall bo incllgl lo to the presidency after his term of service expired. Rut I submitted also to their con? sideration that thc Binna end might bo obtained by making tho President Ineligible after nh Intervening term of service of six years had tnkoiL place. By this .policy, tho existing President would have' no motive to use his patronage In Hie election-: end tho se rv loos of avery abie man might bc obtained ford second term.. This latter view'was favored by tho committee, and I-reported,'the clause to the convention accordingly, with n six years ten? ure of office. Bnt when lt came up fur con? sideration in tho convention, Mr. boyce, of South Carolina, moved to strike out Uni condi? tional re-eligibility. As this made thc elaroo as I had originally proposcd~lt In committee, I expressed by approbation of.it. and voted 1er lt with tile major' which adopted lr, ns fol? lows: '.Article ll, Section 1. The Executive shall be vested In a President of tho Confed? erate States. Hu and the vice-President shall hold their offices for thc term, of 8lx years," hut tlic President shall not bo rc-ellgiblc. 5. To moko ability and worth thc sole crite? rion for luldlhg office", and to prevent thu c ir? rupt uso of tho official patronage of the ,r A .' crnment In elections, 1 offered lu Uic/f. aimlt tcc tho 3d Clause, 2d Sec. Art, II, of the .Con? stitution of tho Confederate States, which was adopted by them, and. with unanimous consent, was also adopted by tho convontlon: "The principal offices In caen of thc 'executive' deporments, and all persons connected with thu diplomatic service, may bo removed from office at thc pleasure of the President; oil . other civil officers of executive departments may be removed at any time hy the President or other power, when tholr>Borvlces nra un? necessary, or for dishonesty, incapacity, Inef? ficiency, misconduct, or neglect of duty: and, whon BO removed, tlic removal shall be report? ed to the Se?alo, together with thc reasons therefor." !fr .

Tito Providence Journal discusses this sub? ject In a very ablo and sensible mannor. It gives the following Interesting facts to prove that men in our country arc not killing them? selves with too much brain work. It says : In tbe first place, there ls good reason for doubting, or at any rate there is no good proof | that mental diseases, or diseases of the brain, aro more provalent In this than In other coun? tries, lt ls generally thought so, and lt may possibly be true; but the only proof of lt that can bo given ls a general' Itu pression that lt is so, an impression whose only foundation is a general inference from a few facts, tho very weakest of all proof. ?- But there is Important evidence upon tho subject, which la available. It ls the average i ago of those who die, in various occupations and professions In this country. In the State nf Massachusetts these records have been kept for twenty-five years, so that tho nnmber of facts has become sufficient to moke tho re? ft al Ls Important anti valuable aa evidence. . Wo lind, In the report for 1867, that In twen? ty-five years noarly the deaths of 3600 profes? sional men had been reported, with ad average age of 60,6 years, and 0860 merchants, finan-. clere, agents, Ac, with an average of 48.6 years. These averages arc greater than tboso of any other class, except farmers and me- j ohanlcs working in tho open aln Thoaverage ago of active mechanics- in shops ls 47.9 years:, or Inactive mechanics In shops, 43 years; of laborers, 40.8 years; or factors laboring abroad, 34.2 years; of persons employed on the ocean, 46.6 years; sf females, 38.7 years; of farmers, 04.3 years, and of activo mechanics working in open air, 6Lx years. Thora ls nothing h?re to indicate that brain labor shortens Ure, and when we look at the indi vidual professions' the proof ia still more marked. Thus the average or thoso who dlud in some of the most important professions and occupations, was as follows: Bankers, 64.7 years; bank otb eera, 64.8 years; merchants, 63 years; bookseller*, 60.6 years; clorgvtnen, 67.8 years; Judges and Justices,. 60.4 years; lawyers, 66.1 years; physicians, 60 years; pro? fessors,-60 years; ana public officers, 64.6 Tears. Tbe average age of tho whole number of I ?persons who died In 'thc twenty-five years, whoso occupations were specified, was 60.6 years. It seems,'then, that tankers, mer? chants, clergymen,- Judges, lawyers, physi? cians and professors 51 ve longer than tho aver? age of oil classea'of'occupations, and very' much longer than laborers or Inactivo I me? chanics working In shops. Neither the hurry and excitement of bankers and merohants, uov tho severe mental labor of clergy mon, Judges and lawyers, noam .to abarle n their lives. Id fact, lt will bo noticed that the three profes? sions last named, whoso occupation is wholly brain labor, and of the moat severo descrip? tion, aro the very highest oo the list of aver probable that some merchants Injure themselves from too- much devotion to, and more especially from too much anxiety about, their business: and lt la nobble that some? times a student or profefisfohal ? man may in* Jure himiotr by so vere mootai labor In thin country, though wo cannot recall a well au ^^TI^MS^ student? In this country, and onr students and moflear Blnnul men ure killed, nut by dm much labor orthu brain, but by too lillie labor of Ibo body; not by too inucli food for tho mind, but by too uiucli food for thu stomach.
