Friday Morning, October 28,1870. TUc State Electtona. Tho Winosboro News reports the fol? lowing Q3 the official vote lot. Fairfeld: Republican, 2,013; Beform, 1,447. The News believes there were gross frands, and states that there'twere ninety-two more votes cast than, tire knited States census called for. f Greenville shows a Reform majority of about 450. MoKissick received aboat 400 votes more than Wollnce. Messrs. Williams, Crittenden, Taylor and Sulli? van, Reformists, are elected to the Lo gialntUre. Anderson gives a Reform majority of about 300. The Chester Reporter gives the official result, from which it appears that there is a radical majority of over 1,800. The Reporter ascribes fraud to the radicals, and the grand jory present sixty-five colored voters for perjury. The Edgofield Advertiser estimate'? tho radical majority at about 300. he Yorkville Enquirer says: "Wo have seen the result of the official count? ing of ei s boxes in York. Judging by thefee, it will not surprise ns to hear that Scott is elected Governor by 150,000 ?majority, and Waliae? elected to Con? gress' by1 '257)00 majority. These figures m?y?aa well be' selected for the official returns as any others." ^Marion gives a Reform majority of about $00-Messrs. Allen, Miles, Bass and Sellers, Reformers, elected to the State Legislature. Ju the city of Charleston, the Reform majority-Is over 300. Carpenter received 2,377;'Soott received 2,114. The official account shows in Orange ourg a radical majority of over 2,000. lt is Esid that there were more votes in a number of boxes than the poll list called for. The Sleeping Beauty, of Kentucky, Miss 8asan Godsey, of whom BO much has been said the past few years about her having slept for twenty years, or .thereabouts, with only short intermis? sions for rest and refreshments, has been taken to St. Louis and Bat on by a coro? ner's jury of dootors, who pronounced her a gigantic humbug. It always look? ed" like a humbug. The idea that any -woman, endowed by nature with a tongue, and such weapons of aggressive warfare, should deliberately sleep for years, when there were men around con? tinually that she.could practice on with her tongue, was simply absurd. We are glad, for many reasons, that Susan has been proved to be a sell, and expect she will now make up for tho lost time, by taking the stump in favor of female suffrage, or something. .Gov. SCOTT'S REPRESENTATIONS IN "WASHINGTON.-The Charleston Neics contains the following: WASHINGTON, Ootober 2G.-To-day, a delegation sent by Gov. Scott, consisting of State Treasurer Parker and State Au? ditor Tomlinson, had an interview with the President. The President, after listening to the accounts given by Messrs. Parker and Tomlinson of the disturbance at Lau? rens, replied thai bo had already notified Gov. Scott, by telegraph, that he should have all tho troops be wanted for South Carolina. Senator T. J. Robertson, who was also seut on by Gov. Scott, urges that moro troops be furnished, and charges that the troubles arose froa. the attempts of the Reformers to destroy the ballot boxes. JUDGE CARPENTER'S MOVEMENTS-The Charleston Netcs says that Hon. Ii. B. Carpeutor was to leavo that city for Now York on the 21st instant, to bo absent for two weeks. The good wishos of thousands will accoaipuny him m his ab? sence and welcome his return; for ho has fought a good fight for the interests of South Carolina, and though be has not achieved success, he has dono better -he has deserved it. Our people will gratefully remember his exertions, and those of his oolleague, tho gallant But? ler, in a struggle where they know tho odds against them to bo insuperable. [Yorkville Enquirer, OCR STATE FAIR.-Don't forgot that the next annual Pair of the South Caro? lina ftt?l* Agricultural and Mechanical SocbHy will be held in Columbia, on the 9th, 10th and 11th of November, and be prepared to attend without fail. A grand Fair, and a prodigious amount of sight? seeing, and nnadalteretedfan and frolic, is in store for the fortunate ones who, on the days above-mentioned, sot their faces Columbia-ward.- Eclgtfleld Advei-liser. FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Sunday last, Captain Smith, of the Pilot Boat, and a colored man named Tom Hardy, sturted ia a canoe from Chisolm to go to Beau? fort. The day was very breezy, and whoa they got near to Tom Island the boat capsized, Hardy being thrown over with tho paddle in his hand, sad was not afterwards seen.

Soveroo* Scqtt. has bad. these spread by telegraph over tho. country in sensational' words. Of these wo havo no authentic Information. We axe led to distrust them. We are satisfied thoyare utterly exaggerated and for party pur? poses. It is utterly idle, in view of the facts, to change the issue. It was to be expected, that under the oppressive measures instituted by Governor Scott, over a people accustomed to liberty, thcro should have been some instances, in which there would havo been indi? vidual indignation against the interven? tions and oppressions of his armed militia, for sometimes even the worm will rise against the heel that seeks to crush out its life and existence. For tho roit in Laurens, Governor Scott and his sat?lites aro responsible. It was the legitimate and natural result of their work. "Wo have ever been tho advocates of harmony, good order and peace. But wo do not desire, when the people of South Carolina havo been denied a fair election, to have thrust upon them -?Ssop's fable of the wolf and tho lamb." Tho Chestor News says: "It is not, then, mere child's play to argue that Governor Scott, because he is re-elected, is worthy of confidence and trust? Is it not pure baby-talk to plead that a rogue should be welcomed into the bosom of society because, by pack? ing the jury, he escaped tho peniten? tiary? Governor Scott has shown no repentance for the past, nor has he pro? mised to do better in the future. To? day, as yesterday and a month ago, he is the deadly enemy of this people-the enemy of their progress, their prosperity their peace. Two years must pass be? fore wo oan meet his lieutenants in the field, which he avoids himself; but if at the eleventh hour ho shows signs of a changed spirit, wo shall not be backward in proclaiming it. Until, however, he has provod that he can bo liberal, mag? nanimous and just, Governor Scott must bo watched with ceaseless vigilance, and be judged by tho light of the wrong ho has done and the good he has failed to do." The Edgefield Advertiser says: "WEIGHED IN TUE BALANCE, AND MOT FOUND WANTING."-Wo allude to those true, right-spirited colored men who so manfully) stood by the Reform Party ut tho election on the 19th. They havo done so.knowing tho consequences-and under the damning curses and maledic? tions of the great mass of their own race. Their conduct in breaking off from the radical ranks, whereby the people wero being plundered, robbed and almost beggared, abd uniting their fortunes with those fighting under tho banner of peace, honesty and reform, is worthy of all commendation, and entitles them to the everlasting gratitude and respect of every respectable mau in the community. And tho white people must and will sustain them at all times do them overy favor you possibly can stand by them in sickness and in health and under all circumstances bo their staunch friends and firm protectors. We wish to publish the names of every colored Reformer in the County, so that the people may know them, and for this purpose respectfully request that their names be sent us from each precinct. Hope this matter will be attended to without dela}-. O UK POLITICAL TROUBLE.-The Winns boro Naa-s says: The poot Gr>iy tells us, "All aro mon; Condemned alike to groan, The tender, lor another's pain, The unfeeling, for hi? own." The lot of suffering that is thus true of individuals, is also true of communities. Where is tho community which is not this moment troubled by some chronic evil which bailies tho wisdom of man to cure? Tho problem of the races, under the condition of their political equality, is tho trouble of the South. It is a diffi? cult and harassing problem. Yet with property in thc hands of the whites, with the blacks in a minority in most of the States, and soon to bo in a minority in all of them, it is a problem far easier to solve, with some degree of satisfaction at the result, than tho conflict of labor against capital, of property and educa? tion against indigence, ignorance and vice, a3 it exists, at this very moment, in England. Wc are ruled by tho inferior material exalted to} oflico by the votes of a casto in South Carolina. But for oeuturies, the middle classes and tho laboring masses havo been compelled in Europe to bear the burdens imposed by a go? vernment no wiser, and certainly not a moro of their own choice. It is a sound philosophy, therefore, which will pa? tiently endure the troubles which no efforts that wo can make can remedy. Thc shore of politics has ever been tho arena of couflict, of ambitious bicker? ing, of crimnation and recrimination, of tho rcvorse of peace and repose. Those who cannot moderate their passions should avoid it, unless they prefer a vo? luntary unhappiness. But to such as can command themselves, tho reflections, nn.y, tho very disappointments, that linv ving to do with political affairs involves, provo the means of their steady progress in wisdom and in goodness, and, though it is supposed that piety and politics are opposed, wo do not hesitate to add, in true roligion and virtuo. A precious youth of Altooua, Pennsyl? vania, having surreptitiously obtained n package of powder and a cigar stump, the other evening, soon roalizod the foct TOUM*U? way of the transgressor is hard. VA.hue smoking tho cigar stump, ho saw his mothor coming toward him, and at onco slid the segar into tho pocket con? taining the powder. His hand, tho segar and the powder got out of that pocket with great rapidity, and the youthful hero is now securely "bottled up" for a few days' rest at home. Tho KlectloJa OB Wednesday. v.' The most infamousfraud ?ter t??jrt?> trated ?nerra?plo waa enacted m thia County & Wednesday. Tho iniquitous ?lection not 'of the radical party, con? ceived for fraud, waa carried ont to the letter. The Kershaw and Bansier agree? ment was refused by the Commissioners and Managers. It will require the offi? cial connt to give the result. At least 800 fraudulent negro yotes were cast at the four precinots in this village. One hundred fraudulent radical negro votes were polled at Clinton. More than 1,000 fraudulent votes were polled by the radicals. On Tuesday night thc negroes from all parts of the County massed in thin place. The radical Managers paid little regard to challenges. At least 200 boys under age, from sixteen and upwards, wore al? lowed to vote. Many cast their votes at all of the four precinots in the village, and afterwards voted at the County pre? cincts. Many voted in the County and afterwards at all of the village precints. The whito vote is solidly for the Union Beform ticket. The negro radical vote will aggergate in excess of their nume? rical strength, while many voted for Re? form, and hnndreds were not at the polls. It is estimated that abont 2,400 or 2,500 votes were polled at this place; at Clin? ton 1,000. At Cross Hill, Hamilton's, Lyons and Scuffletown, probably 1,000 to 1,500 ballots were cast largely for Re? form. Thus the entire County vote will bo between 4,500 and 5,000. Deducting the fraudulent votes, the Reform party have won by a handsome majority. Joe Crews, a candidate for the House, is a commissioner of election. Powell, tho radical candidate for Judge of Pro? bate, acted as a manager at this placo. Other managers were candidates. Only three of the managers, Davenport, Abercrombie and Pool, are recognized as Reformers. To the native scoundrels (Crews and Owens) who were commissioners, and not so much to the carpet-baggers, is at? tributable this infamous rascality. About 12 m., during the election at the precinct where Powell acted as a manager, upon some yelling in tho streets, Powell bolted, and was seen no more during the day. The remaining managers closed the poll and it was not opened again as required by law. During the day a large budy of ne? groes repaired to Crews' house, where tho militia arms are stationed, and took up arms. This was done under Crews' ordors, it is said. Under tho circum? stances the whites exhibited extraordi? nary forbearance. Wo have to say that our people have acted nobly and havo doue their duty in this great emergency. [Laurensville Herald. SUICIDE.-Wo are pained to announce the death, from suicide, of Mr. T. J. Wescott, a student of tho Theological Seminary in this city. On Thursday lase, in his room in the Seminary board? ing house, between 5 nud G o'clock, in a fit of mental aberration, he cut his throat with a rnzor. Mr. Wescott was known to bo subject to attacks of gloom? iness, and his most intimate associates have, for some months past, feared that his mind was at times seriously affected by them. Disordered health, acting upon his peculiar temperament, was, doubtless tho cause of these attacks. This afflictive event was a great shock to the fellow-students of Mr. Wescott to his instructors and to this community. His attendance hero for several years had made him known as a most diligent and successful student and pious chris? tian. His occasional preaching and lec? tures exhibited fine talents, and gave uncommon promise of future usefulness. Mr. Wescott was from Smithville, not far from Wilmington, N. C., aud was about 27 years old. His funeral was preached by Dr. Manly, who evinced the deepest emotion. His remains wero forwarded to his family according to their request, that they may rest with his kindred dust. [Greenville Enterprise. A THEATRICAL- INCIDENT.-The New Orleans Picayune sa3's: A countryman at the theatre, the other night, as the es? cort of some ladies, retired at au inter? mission, and returned with a pound or two of peanuts wrapped in a paper, and two hugo bananas sticking from his pocket.

There was a momentary astonishment visible upon tho faces on tho stage, a single interval of hesitation, which was removed by tho countryman's voice, full and clear, "Tako 'em, gal, by jingo; you're welcome:"*' Miss Ellen A.

There are over twenty young women in the United States studying theology and things, and going into training for preachers. Female preachers are the best policy. A young ladies' seminary nt Snit Luke has received a proposal of marriage from Brigham Young's oldest son. Ile wants to marry a little at first, to 6eo if matri? mony amounts to as much us the old man says it does. DON'T Huimr.-Beliovo in traveling on step by step; don't expect to be rich in a jump. Slow aud sure is better than fast and flimsy. Perseverance, by its daily gains, enriches a man far more than fits and starts of fortunate specula? tions. Little fishes oro sweet. Every day a thread makes a skein iu a year. Brick by brick houses aro built. "We should creep before we walk, walk be? fore wo run, and run before wo ride. In getting rich, the moro haste tho worse speed. Haste trips up its own heels. Don't givo up a small business till you seo that a large ono will pay you better. Even crumbs are bread. Botter a little furniture than an empty house. In these hard times, he who can sit on a 6toue and feed himself hnd better not move. From bad to worse is poor improvement. A crust is hard fare, but nona at all is 1 harder. Don't jump out of the frying pan into the fire. Remember, many men have done well in very small shops. A little trade with profit is better than a greot concern nt a loss; n small fire that warms you is better than a large fire that burns you. A great deal of water can be got from a small pipe, if tho bucket is always there to catch it. Large hares may be caught in small woods. A sheep may get fat in a small meadow, and starve in a great desert. He who under? takes too much succeeds but little. [John Ploughman's Talks. A correspondent of the Independent, traveling in Sweden, was immensely de? lighted Arith the coffee served on the steamboats and in the hotels. "At Upsala," ho writes, "wo determined to find out how they made such perfect coffeo ns we had just drunk and stepped into the neat kitchen of the little hotel; and this was tho report: Take any kind of coffee-pot or uru, and suspend a bag made of felt or very heavy flaunel, so long that it reaches the bottom, bound on a wiro just fitting the top; put in the fresh ground, pure cofl'ee and pour on freshly-boiled water. The fluid filters through tho bng, and may bo used at once; needs no settling and retains all its aroma. The advantage of this over tho ordinary filter is its economy, as tho coffeo stands and soaks out its strength instead of merely letting the water pass through it. "Do yon boil it," inquired the learner. "Na-a-a-ay," said tho maid in simple astonishment that any one should be so wasteful as to send the pre? cious aroma away in steam; should rob that prince of food of that evanescent something which constitutes his nobility and rduce him to mere aliment. As soon would one think of throwing awoy that drop of sunshine, charged with all the summer's gold, which lies ut the throat of a bottle of Johannisberger." How MONKEYS AIIE CAUGHT.-From the chapter of menageries, in Oliver Logan's "Beforo the Foot Lights and Beliiud the Scenes," we make tho fol? lowing extract: Monkeys aro such cunning creatures, one would suppose them moro difficult to catch thun other wilds animals. Pitt-falls will take a lion, and the fa? mished monarch of the forest will, after a few day's starvation, dart into a cage containing food, and thus bo secured. But how aro monkeys caaght? The ape family resembles man. Their vices nre human. They love liquor and fall. In Durfour and Sanaar, the natives, make fermented heer, of which monkeys are passionately fond. Aware of this, the natives go to tho parts of the forests frequented by the monkeys, and set on the ground calabashes full of thc entic? ing liquor. As soon ns the monkey sees and tastes it, h? utters loud cries of joy, that soon attract his comrades. Then au orgie begins, and in a short time tho beasts show all degrees of in? toxication. Then thc negroes appear. They aro too far gone to distrust them, but apparently take them for larger species of their own genus. The ne? groes take soino np, and then begin immediately to weep aud cover them with kisses. When a negro takes one by tho hand to lead him oil', the nearest mon? key will cling to tho ono who thus fiucls a support, and endeavor to go off also. Another will grasp at him, and so on, till the negro leads a staggering lino of ten or a dozen tipsey monkeys. When finally brought to tho village, they are securely oaged, and gradually sobered down; but for two or three days, a gra? dually diminishing supply of liquor is given them, so ns to reconcile them hy degrees to their state of captivity. "It's mity curie," said Bira. Partington to Iko, while reeding about the impending war in Europe, "that tho U oller horn creates such an ado "in Yurrup, when it's sich a common discaso among tho cattle in Ainerlky."

FOIITVPST'S RICHELIEU.-The Wil? mington Journal makes the following uotico of Mr. Forrest: "Bulwer's chaste and easy pen un? doubtedly attained its crowning stroke of beauty and elegance when it fashioned tho play of Richelieu. Bat however great the purity of language with which the drama is clothed, it does not exceed the interest of the plot. In his parti? ality, (so natural and exouBable,) the author has pictured the mighty cardinal and astute statesman in the additional character and nobler garb of the patriot, and iu the more tender benevolence of character and purer inner life divests the terrible Richelieu of that selfish thirst for, and cager gloating over, power which history has ascribed to him. "To say that Mr. Forrest thoroughly conceived aud appreciated the character whioh he essayed to represent, and most magnificently succeeded in represent? ing, on his first appearance in our city last night, would bo a useless avowal on our part. For more than forty years he has reigned a mighty actor upon the boards he ever trod with so rightful and majestic a tread, safely maintaining- hi? ofty eminence ou the highest pinnacle of dramatic fumo. Well and justly did he fit the measure of our expectation, aud he was all that the reports of his greatness painted to our craving. Bat the high order or merit and established reputation of Mr. Forrest renders bar criticism useless. "Tho troupe by which he is supported is much above the average of ordinary stock companies. Miss Lillie is indeed a charming actress, and in the character of Julie do Mortimer won a title to the highest encomiums. Her acting is graceful, elegant and expressive, with a purity of accent and prononciation plea? sant to hear. Mr. Harris as DeMaaprat gave to the character much emphasis and spirit, the el?'eet of which was greatly-in? creased by his flue manly figure and ap? pearance. Mr. Arnold as tho Count De Baradas is deserving of credit, while Mr. Mitchell as Fat her Joseph contributed to the interest of the performance. The other members of the troupe fitted the several characters as well as could be ex? pected, while the really elegant costumes constituted a pleasing feature." Richelieu will be rendered at Jauney's Flail, this evening, by Mr. Forrest and company. HOTEL AmtrvAns, October 27.-Nick erson Home-A. J. Haltwanger, Chap pell's Depot; J. M.
