Thc State board of canvassers met in this city on Friday lost and disposed or all the reports submitted to them except those from Charleston and Chesterfield. The oBcial returns show that the total vote is as follows : ' FOR GOVERNOR. Scott, Radical. 54,475 Carpenter, Reform. 50,101 Scott's majrrlty. 04,571 FOR UECTE?f ANT-GOVERNOR. Ransier. Radical.-.. 53,995 Butler, Reform. 50,44] Ransier's majority. 33,557 This majority, in the case of both Scott and Ransier, will be reduced about 400 by-the actior., of the boir-J la the case of Chesterfield and Spar taaburg, and about 2000 by their action In regan! to Charleston County.

TLe reports from Heauforr, Collet on and Barnwell were accepted by ihe State canvassers, and tis Charleston County gives Bowvn a heavy majority, any votes which may b? there thrown ont will swell the majoiity for De Large, who wUl certainty receive 'lie certificate of election, notwithstanding the efforts of Bowen and his counsel. Corbin. The State board throw ont the report of the commissioners of Spartaaburg Connty. They had rejected every box found to contain seven votes more than the poll-list called for. This can? celled the precincts which gave the largest Reform majorities, and elected the Radical ticket bi tte connty. The action of the State canvassers, however, In counting in the discarded coxes gives the connty to the Reformers by a small majority. No other protests were entertained by the board, so that the efforts of the Reformers In that direc? tion, in Newberry, Barnwell, and elsewhere fall to the ground. A similar gan'e to th ar'^T.ayed in Spartan burg was attempted in Chesterfield, where Donaldson, Radical, elected himself and his co-consplraDrs by a small majority. This county was considered to-day, and I am Informed that the State board upset Donaldson's report, and gave the Reformers what they honestly won, a small majority in the county. In the case of Charleston, the county commls siorrers made a regular report, lu which they stated the number of votes actually polled for each candidate in thc county, and attached to this a supp'emental report in which they recom? mended that thc vote cast at Black Oak, Straw? berry, James Island and Wriphfs Store, on vratl malaw, be excluded on accent of Illegal conduct of the managers, an1 other Illegal proceedings at those precincts. This supplemental report, as I am informed, will undoubtedly be adopted. These precincts gave De Large 7 votes, and Bowen 2070; and their exclusion swells DeLarge's majority to about 2700. I am positively . informed that the > tate can? vassers will declare the election for senator in Charleston County void, and that they will not give a certificate of election to Mr. Edwin Eates, the Reform candidate for senator.

WASHINGTON, Novenib.?r Baron Gerolt, the North German Minister* here, has advices that negotiations for an armis? tice have been broken orr. The press dispatches that Thiers had been recalled to Paris are thea officially confirmed, and the continuance of the war ii certain. War Summary from Landon. The point upon which Thiers was recalled and the armistice tailed is stated to be that Bismarck wanted guarantees for a cession of territory, which the Paris Government rcrused to give. The Prus? sian Minister at London says the struggle must continue all the winter. There was a serious engagement yesterday on the road from Dijon t > st. Jcaa de Lo9ne. The Pralines, though using artillery aid m'trajlleurs, !".ttd, at seven yesterday evening, gained no ground. The Francs-tireurs foiled the Prussian's attempt to cross the Sa?ne. TTt? bombardment or Xew Breisach and Fort Mortier continues. A sortie of the garrison was repulsed. Dispatches represent carlbaldl's position as critical. A dis? patch from Dole reports his capture. Wurtcmburg, Baden and Hesse Darmstadt have agreed to enter the Xorili German Confed eratlon. Bavaria demands a separate treaty, with military au 1 diplomatic sovereignty. The fortifications uruuad Paris have now 2:00 guns in position. The London papers of this morang deplore the fatuity of Pari* Intlesllalagpreliailnary overiures to ponce.

NIGHT DISPATCHES. a Why the Armistice Failed. S TOURS, November 7. 1] A dispatch from Vendome says that the propo- n iltlons for an armistice has been unanimously te? ased by the leaders of thc Paris Government, and hat the reason for this ls found in thc refusal of Prussia to permit thc re victualling of the city, and ilso because she refuses to allow Alsace and Lor? raine to vote for members of the Constituent As- f> ? embly. The Paris Government ls supported In S its action by all classes of the "people. tl The Journal Officiel announces the formation of s three armies lu Paris.

LESSON OF THE ELECTIONS [ A POLICY FOB THE WHITE PEOPLE. Thc Conduc t of the Colored People. Mr. Lewis Jones. chaTman o ' the Beform party In Edgefleld Comry, In calling a county convention to meet yesterday, to take steps Tor securing a State organization, says: With an unanimity almost unparalle'ed the native white race sought thc co-operation or tn* colored race, to correct the evils under which the State was laboring. In public addresses as well as In private conversations, they were toid of the dishonesty which was being practiced by the miserable wretches, who. with Governor Scott at their head- were using their official po=>l Hons for their private emolument, without re? gard to the Interests'of the State; and they were urged and entreated to Join with the wh ?tea to drive from our midst the horde of hungry ad ventcrprs who were fattening on our poverty and destroying er$ry source ol our prosperity by the w^esale system of robbery and plunder which they had inaugurated ind vTjr? practicing To all this the colored race turne.. " *caf W?3JL!??5 a few exceptions, blindly followed tue cu?_ u 01 those who, from w. rsc than fiendish motlveB, poured.into their loo willing ears aentlmeuts of antagonism and hostility to the white race. This conduct on the part of the colored race cannot be mistaken or misunderstood. By it they have said to the native whites: "We want nothing to do with you; we have the numerical majority* and do not intend Hint you shall have any lot or parcel in the management of the affairs of the State." Hand In their .Varan. The Landcastcr Ledger says: Wc desire to place on record the mme or every colored man in Lancaster County who supported the Union Reform ticket. We feel under obligations to them, and admire them for their resolute courage In bre iking off from the Radical ranks and uphold? ing the principles of Honesty and Reform. The white peup:e must Ad will sustain them at all times-in ticknesu and in health. That the peo? ple may know them, wc respectfully request that thur names bc sent us from every precinct.

The Edgell ell Advertiser says or those true, right-spirited colored men who so manfully stood by the Re: o rm party at the election on the 19 th : They have done so knowing the consequeuces. . ami under thc damning curses and maledict ions | 1 of the great muss of their own-rac. Their con? duct in breaking orr from thc Radical rank*, ,, whereby the people were being pl?nderet, robbed 1 1 end almost beggared, and uniting their fortunes with those fighting under the banner of peace, honesty ?nd reform. Is worthy of all commend < ttnn, and entitles them to the everlasting grati? tude aud respect of every respectable mau in thc community. A'.d the white people must and will sustain them at all times-do them every favor voa possibly can-stand bv them In tlckuess and in health, and under all clrcnmstances be their, staunch friends and firm protector. We wish to publish the names of every colored Reformer in thc countv, so that the people may know them, and for this purpose respectfully request that their names be sent us from each precinct. We hope this matter will bc attended to without delay. Let us Cit ange oar Tactics. A correspondent or thc Marion Crescent says: Th . fa;ls now before us are simply tbase: tue ne? groes, with but lew exceptions, have rejected the olive brunch of peace held out io them by the Southern whites; they have arrayed them-t-lves against those upon whom they, their wives and children, are dependent for employment a d sup? port. If there was nothing more Involved in this antagonism than some political abstraction, we mi<ht submit wuh uti the grace at our command; but the issue, us we think, ts very different-it is a matter that affects cur prosoerlty. and the po? sition and happiness of our wives and children. The strength of thu negr ? vote in this State will not only repel alt white linm gnvlon, but encour? age ai influx of thc black element; and to preveat this fearful future, the whites must, absolutely must, adopt what appears to ns to be the only remedy lelt; lt may bc a severe one, but the disease ls a severe one. Let the planters employ all the white labor tlx y can; wrier J this, cannot be done, let no plant er employ more negroes than may he necessary to make provisions, and cotton enough to procure Ids supplies, i'lant one-fourth the quantity of land-cultivate lt better-for one year convert Marlon into a stock or grain-producing district. Deny yourselves of making money lu any way that will require the labor of negroes.' Let them nee that you can and mean to no without them, and In this wav you will bring M power to bear upon them more potential (hun the eloqaenceof .ludgc Carpenter or General Butler. One of two results, maybe both, will he apt io follow-the ne gi oes will be forced eit her to leave for other parts or ch .tige their politics. We write thus undera solemn conviction of the emergency that is upon us. Never agu in need we repeat the experiment of persuad?- g the negro by argument; that has been tried, and well trie I; let us change our tactics. Let the White People Stick Together. The Camden Journal says: As to our political ac? tion, let lt be distinctly understood that since the question has resulved Itself Into one of race, we, the white people of South i'arollna intend to stick to each other lu one vast brotherhood. Let us form a 'Caucasian League," but let our actions be able to bear the garish light of day, and not hld In the shadows of the night, deep engaged tn hellish plot. Let us throw our banner to tue breeze, and ld cribe u?-m that banner our determination not to interfere with State politics until we can make ourselves heard. As a balance of power party, wc can sometimes take such a dion as may re? dound to our Interest, but except?t suchtlmes, we will t' uch not politics. Let us be what has been forced upon us, "a white rain's party," Again, let L'O man deceive himself. The lines have been unmistakably drawn. Let us accept the chal? lenge finis thrown down, mid If we dot use our Intelligence and ciipltal toa better purpose than heretofore, we are unworthy the uameof men or Carolinians. We owe lt to our honored dead, co our rrrny-liaired slref?, to our aged mothers, to our wives and children, to ourselves, to fight out the battle o? Sout i Carolina's redemp? tion upon higher, nobler and more lusting grouuds than we have heretofore occupied. Let us g > about lt at once. To the colo e l people we would say that tue time will come, and soon come, when they will wish that they had heeded our warnings and neUeved our assertions. We want you to educate yourselves and yourchll d en ?o that your Ignorance cannot be taken advantage of by thos? who have designs inion every honest and industrious citizen. Wh.m fe .smoke And dust of this con? flict s?mil have passed awny-when your passions and your prejudices are cooled, and calm reason resumes her sway, then will h r promptings cause you to regret that you have rejected our gospel of neuce and reconciliation. You will see then th.it we spoke the words of earnest soberness and truth-vou will see then who deceived you from base arid selfish motives, and who were striving lor their country's g od. Tue shackles of your menial slavery will be stricken off-the bandages will be removed from vour eyes, and you will leel and see that you are doing all that you possibly I * an to degrade yourselves In thc estimation of vour best Irlend?, and If you are not careful,*the great National Republic in party, through whom you were endowed wini all the rights and privi? lege- which you enjoy, will takeaway those rights and privileges, and banish you to the wild forests, ns has bern done to the poor Indian. Remember the prediction ! _ _ THE ELECTION CHEAT. Lancaster? All the boxes but two were stuffed. The Radicals show that two hundred and fifteen white men voted the Radical ticket, but the Ledger Challenges them to Mud even ii fly. Active meas? ures have been tiken to expose the rascalities of the parlies who had control of the ballot box-s and aiiered the votes. Meetings are to be held at each election precinct in the county, amt the affidavits of every Kef rm v ter taken, whieli will undoubtedly show to the courts and the Legisla? ture who are thc majority candidates.

(From the London Standard.] Few indeed are there In Europe or In America so mean of nature or EO violent in partisanship as to hear without regret that the illness ci Gene? ral Lee lias terminated fatally. The world has lost one of Its greatest men, bis profession one or its noblest ornaments, his unhappy country her foremost citizen, lt ls imposa ble to think of the departed hero without regretful reelings, not only for the loss which Virginia and the South have sustained, not only for the removal or one whose example ia as purcfand as noble as any that history records, but lor the circumstances under which sucha man has clo-ed a life so illustrious and BO unfortunate.

Since that sad day General Lee had remained in as much obscurity as was { possible to one so loved and trusted; to one , from whom his countrymen were ever seeking : uidance and counsel He desi ended from weal tn' j io p vert y without one complaint of the lawless savagery which bad devastated, tho Illegal ven? geance which had confiscated his property; he, Ste commander-in-chief of- one of the great irmles of the world, was content to become tue lead of a second-rate college; tie, the foremost :hamplon of rhe Confederate canse, ma le it'his ;onstant effort to reconcile lils soldiers ami cana? ry men to the Federal yoke; to quiet them under nsult and wrong; to restrain, not only Open out ireaks of impatience, but private expressions of regret and louglngs for un irretrievable past.

THE GERMANS AT ST. CLOUD. A Graphic Description. Herr Wachenhusen, writing to the Cologne Suzette from St. Cloud, on the 20th, Bays: One day ls much like another here. On oar side ihe most per;? ct silence, according to orders; on the Frenen side the greatest animation. They Hg and scrape until blood gushes from their lingers, and of an evening they sing before our eyes their cancan and their "Marseillaise,?* and other pretty songs, le ip and shout hali the night, until we are tired of lt, and are as merry as If tbe world iwul never treated them belter than now. [ believe the Corps-f-rancs and other volunteers nave atready plundered half the suburbs, and have taken to the second-hand dealers all the stolen articles that were vendible; they have, therefore, a glorious time of lt. The mob amuses Itself, and Hie heroic youths, the gami is and petit creo?s of the boulevard, give themselves up to a gallows humor, which will last until every? thing hecomes topsy-turvy. ve>ten tav ami thu day refore we observed some? thing like a cloud or smoke, rrom whtcii at rimes Borne jets of flame shot up. It was said t i be t he Bois de Boulogne on tiru; but lt wa* in quite a northeasterly' direction, and, Judging ny its dura tkn, it must have been very destructive. Yes? terday afternoon, when our. outposts, al er ten davs'"servlce, were discharged, tue chosseputs. ac? cording to their custom, indulged iii a paroxysm. They tired wildly at us the caunons of the forts were thundering the whole afternoon, and if any body merely raised his head above the level or the battery a dozen ba'ls or so whizzed around him. They practice shooting In thfs man? ner- less so, of course. In battles. Perhaps they were c?l?brai lug thc fall of 8 rasbourg, which they must have learnt yesterday. The. invest? ment of the capital ls so hermetical, even for dip? lomatists, that a Russian and an American courier have vainly tried to enter. Pari*. Their passage was refused on our side, and both must amu.se themselves at Versailles as best they can. Our position at St. < loud Ls rhe most delicate in the whole line or siege. Not because the cbarpte which the Empress and her ladles plucked with their delicate hands is st III lying there; not because everything reminds one of the se.iden -and con? temptible rai; of a dynasty which so perveraely led its people to destruction; but because it ls supposed that, there are subterranean commuai. cations with Paris, by which Intercourse ls car? ried on, and which must be detected. I have alreudy told you that wherever we enter abandoned villages and towns the clocks still stand on the mantle pieces, but no louger in? dicate the hour. At St. Cloud this silence has its peculiarly interesting fe i tu re. I found clocks on the console tables or i he Imperial chateau, which aiso marked the dav. These recorded "Sunday, .Uh September." The end or the week was thus also the end of the dynasty. It ls a pltv that the splendid grounds have goue to rack. Thc flowers hang down their withered heads: the pheasants run about the park and look In vain for thc hand that used to feed them. In the apartments the finest pictures are torn from their frames, proba? bly by the faithful servants. In the huutlug box still hang two oil paintings, in wnlch the handsome Eugenie, on horseback, surrounded by picadors and matadors, ls depicted us pre? siding over a bull fight. Our patrols, of course, arc stationed in the park. The reservoir is also surrounded by them. Thc patrols In their huts di-play thc most varions styles of buildings. Some arc wigwams, some straw buts, some Swiss chalets, aud others French cor agi s. They stand close together. I spent all yesterday wltn our most advanced patrols. They are comforta? bly settled under lite trees, rind ono might in? dulge |g the pretties: idyll hut for thc French grui des sweeping by and over us, the thunder of thc guns interrupiiig our talk every Pvc min tites, ami thu monotonous clatter of the citasse pots so frequently breaking the thread of conver? sation. NARRO IF GAUGE RAILROADS. The Engineering Magazine, high authority on such matters, says: We are on the brink of a new era in railways -tue era of rhe narrow gauge rallwav-un era of renewed activity, wheu every vliaae, almost every farmstead may have 1 s railway, and ii .-nch an era be at hand, it is mainly because the Publie englue, oy Its increased power, by its adaptation to curves, its economy in rails and freedom from oscillation, has rendered it possible. Tue new and lighter, and cheaper roads will outlive bi useful? ness, ss in diminished costliness, the old broader pauue railways to be constructed over short or rugged lines no more. Ii this ls reliable, lt would seem to Indicate one of the most ?xtraordlnary practical revolutions of i he age Fairlie, whose name is given to tbe above eugine, ls sn Eugllsb engineer, who has given i he subject thorough consideration, and demonstrated practically i < Wales that railways of the inf mest cnn traction and narrowest gauge may accomplish the work once deemed po albie only by tbe heaviest rain, broadest gauge and heaviest locomotives. A three-foot gauire haa been pronounced by British emrineera in Maia sufficient for the requirements ora trade which in? cludes the transportation of snch balky fre'-'htB as cotton and riee. According to the London, Times, distinguished engineers in England assert^ that with Fairlie engines they would manses the heaviest t afllc and , travel in the world. In England there ls a short railroad fourteen miles In length, of only two? feet gange, which has proved most-profit? able to shareholders and useful to th* publia. There ore other ilk? roads bi twofeet'slx inches* ?"a"ng.e' ?a Balara there ls a road of three feet S?Jri!?^he3; l3,Indla of roar feet; In Sweden an? Norway several of thre? feet six inches; on Mount Cento one of three feet; and now engineers ta Eu rope, who have given thu matt, r most attent ion, prefer a gauge of two feet six Inches or ture . feet! Their common speed, even In the crookel. .moun? tain regions of Wales and Norway, ls said to be from fliteen to eighteen and a half miles per hour and the?-cost at most three-nrtlnvofan or Unary railway. The improved machines .employed imo* these roads combine llghtnesy grear . tractile power and perfect- evennca w movement, and thus obv?ate the trouble of excessive oaclllatlon of locomotives on narrow railways, which origi? nated the necessity for broad ga ngefC" .
