In moBt of the counties th? figures given below are accurate and official, but in a few of the counties, (Charleston for Instance,) the tardiness o? the officials charged with counting the votes com? pels us to estimate the result. In all such cases the estimates of the. reBult have been made with the utmost care, and the general result below declared may be relied upon as being, at the most, but a few hundreds out of the way: TABLE OF MAJORITIES FOB GOVERNOR.

The regular Radical State ticket has carried Georgetown by 1782 majority, and the Regu? lar county and legislative candidates axe elected by an average majority of 1000. Bal ney and Cain each received a majority of about 1800 for Congress. There were but 72 white votes cast in the whole county, and they were about equally divided between blanks tor State offices and the Tomllnson ticket. Taere were only 1866 votes polled al? together, against 2883 m 1870. The returns of the vote upon the constitutional amend? ments are not all In, but it ls estimated that the amendment to change the day of election, known as the sixteenth ar? ticle, was generally voted against by the colored persons. All the tickets sent from Columbia (8,000) were printed "No" to both amendments. W. H. Jones, Jr., the black senator elect, in a speech last Saturday advised the colored men to vote against the - sixteenth article. For the Senate W. H. Jones, Jr., was elected without opposition.

The battle ls fought, the victory won, and the whole Democratic ticket elected by a handsome majority. This majority will aver? age 400, and in some cases the majority was 800. The question ls now settled as to this county, and there will be no further trouble. The next election will give 1000 maj orlty. The Republicans did their best. Governor Perry's majority for Congress was 461; Donaldson's lor Senate was 408, and .so on. A leader ot the Republicans, a colored man, was heard to say he would never again vote against the white people. Tomllnsoa's majority In this county was about 700; the Demo? crats generally voted for him. If tbe State was as Greenville all would be right politically.

There was a killing frost this morning. All vegetation la killed, Including cotton, BO there cannot be any lengthening of this crop from this date. I do not think the present year'i crop will exceed that of last year's, although we have had very fine weather for gathering this crop up to the present date, and for lia maturing; In tact, lhere has been the best cotton gathered, ginned and baled the present year than has been since the war, as there nave been no rains or storms to Injure the staple, all being put up lo a dry state, conse? quently there will not be much loss In weight J In packages. The weather being so dry sluce thc cotton commenced opening, many plant? ers are now near done; so there will not be much, If any yellow cotton, as most of the bolls are well matured, and lt ls doubtful whether the balf-grown bolls will open at all, as the frost ls very severe, which makes the yellow cotton. The corn crop, as I advised before, ls very good. The season for sowing grain has com? menced, and many planters have already their wheat, and some few their oats, rye and bar? ley sown. There will be a large croD ol grain sown the present year. SKNKX. THE NETT REGIME. The Official Glorificar lon of the Moses Patty Over their Victory.

Tout victory was won over a combination of treacherous friends and tu? open and Implacable foes of free govern? ment sustained by large wealth and official patronage. Against tnese fearful agencies you had nothing to oppose but your lo vinci-1 ble devotion io principle and unpurcha6abie votes. The campaign through which we have Just passed will be forever memorable from Bought, by every device that malice and mean? ness could suggest, to blacken our chosen leaders with undeserved obloquy. From their unjust Judgment we appealed to the people. You heard our cause, face lo luce, and your approving verdict is before the country. Tno.-o wno, aller having long been fostered and clothed wilta honor by the Republican r arty, sought to stab it In the hour ot its great trial, have received your signal condemnation. They will henceforth furnish a negative example to all untimely aspirants for pub? lic office, and admonish Republican leaders that their only Batety lies in following the standard ot their party wherever it may lead. Our triumph, feiiow Republicans, will be Util? ized in the interest of peace and orderj and good government. The platform that we pro? mulgated In the canvass will s'and neiore the public officers of our coolee as your authori? tative Interpretation of their official duties, and they will remember that while, as candi? dates, they represented the Republican party, as public officers they represent the whole people ot South Carolina. But, fellow Republicans we must advance to another and still greater victory. We must rally once again to bear to an over? whelming triumph our great leaders, Ulysses [ j S. Grant and Henry Wilson, who carry the standard of the Republican party. The election lor a President and vice-President ot the United States will lake place on Tuesday, the 6th of November. Let every Republican be at the polls on mat aay and cast als vote for ibese two men, who, In war and in peace, have Illustrated and maintained the principle whose successful assertion has redeemed lrom vassallage the working men of two races within the borders of .South Carolina, and made the American nation a land dedicated to universal liberty, where man calls none master but his God. Republicans, remember the 6th of November, and on that day let none be absent from the roll-call. Sincerely and gratefully your humbie fellow-citizen, (Signed) BOBT. B. ELLIOTT, President State Ex.

THE LIBERAL ELECTORAL TICKET FOR SOUTH CAROLINA. An Addresis to the People of the Stute. To the People of South Carolina : On the 5th ot November the people of Sooth Carolina, ID common with the people of all the United States, will be called upon to elect a President and vice-President to serve for the ensuing four years. The course that has been pursued by the present administration has been so subver? sive of all local self-government, and hostile' to the rights and liberties o? the citizen, SB to have excited the greatest apprehensions Tor the safety of our (ree Institutions, and has aroused the Intelligent and Conservative masses of the ? nation to s united and deter? mined effort to secure, If possible, the gov? ernment from the hands of Its present auda? cious and unscrupulous rulers, and bring ic back to Its constitutional bearings. Hore than this-so alarming and widespread bas been the growth of corruption in high places as to have tainted all the fountains ot public Justice, and so reckless tbe use of cor? rupt Instrumentalities by public officials as to undermine every principle of honor and hon? esty In the breasts of the people, and prepare the way for the rapid and almost sure decay of all public virtue. To arrest the spread of '-beso evil and dan-" g?rons tendencies, and to save to the people the substance as well as form of a constitu? tional republic, the eli (zens of all classes and parties have organized a holy, firm and Inde? structible alliance In behalf of purity in govern? ment and sympathy and reconciliation be? tween sections. The cardinal principles ol this movement were promulgated from Cincinnati on the first of last May, and solemnly ratified by the De? mocracy of the whole Union in general con? vention at Baltimore on the 9th of July. Horace Greeley, of New York, and B. Gratz Brown, of Missouri, chosan as the standard bearers of thia, cause, have been hailed with patriotic enthusiasm by the friends of law, order and well regulated liberty throughout the entire land. The principles which have been emblazoned upon our banner lu tbe hopeful words ol our Illustrious candidate can? not die, but must and will survive even defeat, if defeat were^possible. South Carolina, recognising this as the only movement In the present crisis calculated lo overthrow a monstrous centralization, and to secure to the present generation the blessings of a Just and free government, has, through a convention of her people, recorded her ad? hesion and pledged her support to the move? ment.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT. Fall of the Rafters of a New Building Seven Men Injured. [Prom tbe Angus.a Cnronlcle | A short time since the construction of a new building was commenced on Broad street, op? posite Mr. Conway's sale and livery stables. Tue brick walls on eitber side soon reached the height determined upon, and Ihe f-leepera were placed In position Yesterday the work of raising the rafters was begun. Those at the end of ihe building nearest Reynolds street were first put up, und at ubout 2 o'clock llireeof the "prloclpau>" -so called In building phraseology-had been placed In position, and work was progressing ou. a fourth. The tn ree already up were fastened, together by a "stay," which kept them from falling until ihe regular supports were attached. During ihe absence oi the contractors one ot the workmen-of whom there were ten or twelve upon the walls at tue lime-knocked the "stay" loose from one of the rafters, In order to tlx some portion of the timbers, and afterwards neg? lected to nail lt back. This, as a matter of course, left the rafter unsupported, and while the men were busy about their work, lt ?fell carrying with lt io the ground-a distance ol about twenty feet-the other rafters and seve? ral of the sleepers. Seven of the workmen were precipitated to the eartn with the fall? ing limbers. The unmet of ihese men are re? spectively Peter McUraul, Thomas Vaughan. S. Radford and Muu Costello, white; and Jacob Humbright, James Low and Jacob Williams, colored. As soon as possible thc men were extricated (rom the tlmoers and taken to Iheir homes. Fortunately a larg* butch upon the ground broke the fall of the rafters and sleepers, oth? erwise ii ls probable tue whole party, so sud? denly brought to lerra fir ina, would nave been killed. Aa ii was, they escaped without seri? ous Injuries. Of ine white men, Peter McGraaf was hurt tn one side and hip, besides being bruised in other places. Tnos. Vaughan and S. Radford were slightly bruised, lt was at nrst thought that Mat. Costello's spine was injured, but In? vestigation developed the fact that such waa not the case, and that his back was only a lit? tle sprained. One ol the colored men waa hurt about the head and thigh. H;s injuries, though painful, are not ut all serious. Jamea Low received a few brulseB, nod Isaiah Wil? liams escaped with a sprained ankle. The accident was caused by no fault of the contractors themselves, but was owing alto? gether to the carelessness of one of the workmen._ NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE. NEvr YORE, October 19.

Greeley Dying - The Jimmy O'Brien Campaign for the Mayoral? ty-Some Incidents In the Career of a Ilrformtr-How to Get Stokes Clear The Entertainment to froud:-Re? turn of ?pera Bouffe. [FROM OUR OWN CORRBf FONDENT.] Nnw YORK, October 16. There Ie a great deal o? interest and anima? tion in local politics; very little lo national po.ltlcs. The excitement pertaining to the latter seems to have culminated with the Pennsylvania election. Since lhat event there have been lewer meetings In this city and really less talk about the Presidential question than before. I And that people who were Indifferent or on the fence then are very generally disposed to concede the re-election of Grant, and so dismiss the matter from their minds. On the other hand, the warm parti? sans ot Greeley are Jost as sanguine of his election as ever, and contend that the triumph ol the Radicals In Pennsylvania by fraud has actually helped the Liberal prospects. Hr. Greeley was about to start for the West again this week and make speeches, begin? ning at Chicago, but the Increasing Illness of hie wile has prevented his departure. I learn that Mrs. Greeley ls on her deatb-bed, and that her husband doubts li she will last the month out He ls at Cbappaqua again to? day, and ?viii, of course, refrain from public speaking, unless his wife's condition changes. A new danger confronts the taxpayers of the cliy. A few weeks ago the election ol "Jimmy" O'Brien as mayor of New York seemed an Impossibility. But the situation bas since altered. The Republicans who favor reform refuse te unite with the reform Demo? crats on a candidate, and will run Mr. Have meyer. The Tammany Democrats and Liberal Republicans have already nominated Abraham B. Lawrence. The apollo Hall faction have lormally nominated O'Brien. Thus-there are three candidates in the field, and lt ls feared tbat O'Brien may prove the strongest, as bo has not only the solid support ot the slums, bnt the secret assistance of the customhouse. Of course lt ls expected that be will manipu? late the vote In his old style, and the probable amount of fraud In his Interest ls therefore to be taken Into consideration. "Jimmy" has dashed Into the business of electing himself mayor with great vigor. He goes lrom ward to ward every night making speeches, relying the boy A and treating them en masse, In the nearest bar-rooms. He has a pleasant, cheery off-band manner, which is calculated to make him personal friends among the rough classes. I do not know that I ever described -'Jimmy" for you. He has a good deal of natural shrewdness, but he is un? educated, and it ls said can hardly write his name. I met him one day on Chatham Btreet, ? just as be was leaping from the door of a pub? lic hack. Two retainers, of the conventional plug-ugly cut, were at his heels. "Jimmy" crossed the sidewalk to the steps of a house, when he i urned and exclaimed, "S-a-a-y Jackey, tell them fellows to meet me at Flynn's to-night." This ls all I heard the distinguish? ed "Reformer" utter, and I cannot say lt im? pressed me thoroughly lo hlslavor. He ls a rather good-looking young man, with marked Hibernian features, and has a thick? set frame of about the medium size. His career since boyhood was like that ot most ot the ruffian young men ol this city. He was in prlBon at one lime for Borne misdemeanor. He bas been concerned In numberless rows and fights. He obtained great influence over his class In the lower wards, and Tweed's Tammany recognized his influence by making him sheriff-a place worth one hundred thousand dollars a year. "Jlm .my" ran agalEst Michael Connolly, known as the "bigjudge." Con dollypot the moat yfi\ffl? say beTs very g?nerons; spending his large Income Ireely among the boys, and helping the distressed wherever he Ands them. He fixed up a claim of two hundred thousand dollars lor extra services as sheriff when - he was In office. Undoubtedly, the claim was fraudulent For some reason the ring refused to pass upon ' lt favorably; and O'Brien, in revenge, peached on them to the New York Times, and the great exposure which de? stroyed the "Boss" followed. O'Brien then came out In trie new role of reformer, and counted himself In as State senator lrom one of the city districts. This ls the personage who now stands a very good chance to become* cnlef magistrate of the proud metropolis of the Western Continent With Hartnett In the Gubernatorial chair of Pennsylvania, Grant re-established in power at Washington and Jlmmv O'Brien disporting himself as mayor of New York the depth of our political degrada? tion will bave been reached. Doubtless there will be people who will declare that the re? publican experiment ls a failure. O'Brien's latest freak 1B the display ot a rather Indiscreet sympathy tor a ruffian friend who ls in the Toomba for murdering a woman. The fellow, Dempsey by name, a clerk to the board ol aldermen, beat a woman over the head with an Iron plano stool at a disreputa? ble bouse In East Thirteenth street on Thurs? day night. He fractured her skull and fled, but was caught by tbe police To-day she was dying In the hospital. The Tribune charges that O'Brien endeavored to bribe the attend? ing physician to give a certificate that the gin's Injuries were not dangerous, aod that there was an accommodating justice who was ready to strain a point and let Dempsey off on ball. Promises and threats, however, did not Induce the physician to perjure himself, and Jimmy ls ny lng about town devising other means to get his friend released. It is boasted in his favor that he "sticks" to bis friends. One of the "thinnest" things of the season, to use the current phrase, Ie the new evidence Introduced by Stokes's counsel to show that that "unfortunate young mau" aoted purely in self-defence in shooting Fisk. One Augustus St. Clair, who says he ls a reporter, has come forward and made affidavit that he saw the rencontre between Fisk and Stokes, and that the former had a pistol. He did. not see the actual shooting, but heard two simultaneous shots, and believes that Fisk fired one of them. He mentioned the circumstance privately to his friends, but was afraid to.appear us a wit? ness, as his life-was threatened by the friends of Fisk. Mr. St. Clair's story bears the strong? est evidence of having been manufactured; but as there Is a gradually weakening feeling In the community towards Stokes, lt is proba? ble that the self-delence theory supplemented with St. Clair will be accepted, and the mur? derer will be permitted to return lo Wall street and the brokerage business. . Mr. Froude was the recipient of additional attractions this week. He was entertained by the Lotus Ciub one night, and last evening he was present at a banquet given In his honor at Deltnonlco's by his publishers. George William Curtis presided, and among Hie guests were Emerson, Beecher, Bryant, Chap?n, Bellows, Hurlburt, abd many other literary celebrities. The speeches were good; tnose of Curtis and Bryant particularly se. Mr. Froude spoke for some minutes, going over the ground ol the controversy between England and Ireland, which will be the sub? ject ol' his lectures in this country. He gave as a reason lor coming here that he wanted to induce the American people to use. their Influence with ibe Irish, and ascertain If pos? sible what England could do to beal the breach. He said England would gladly listen to any suggestions from Americans, who are known to oe the friends of both nations. One of the morning papers pronounces Mr. Fronde's proposition impracticable. French Opera Bouffe has been added to the list of our permanent entertainments. It has taken possession ol tbe Olympic Theatre, sith Aimee as Us principal Interpreter. Among the per lor mers ls Gabel, who has just return? ed from France after an absence of several years. He ls best known aa one of the Gend? armes In "Genevieve de Brabant," a character which he bas made lamons, both in Paris and New York. Opera Bouffe, after many ups and downs, may now be regarded as a permanent Institution In this cosmopolitan city. It ex? hibits the best evidence.of Its popularity-it pays. NTH.
