Friday raorainK, Hovomber 1870. . -A'Stato Foir. - - . Wc ?re pleased to state that the ac? commodations for visitors to the State Fair, which opens on the 9th instant, will,not be can?nod to tho hotels and boarding-houses-ample as these are. A number of private families have sent in their names to the committee aa ready to receive visitors. : Others are invited to send, in their names, at the store of Mesara. B. ? W. G. Swoffield. We an? ticipate ?.largsgathering and an impos ingf^lapiajr. . ? Tho oration of Gen. Pres? ton, .tl^e ball ot the Spath Carolina Club, the races,, will .furnish additional inte? rest. , Tho treat will be intellectual and socinl ns well as agricultural and me? chanical. We hope that every County will be represented. Let the fair servo for a gen?ine South Carolina re-union. It comes but once a year. Let tho peo? ple meet and compare notes and take counsel of each other's views and expe? riences. From the mountains io the sea ooast let us feel the elbow-touch that brings distant communities together and makes them one in common hopes and a common purpose. A Conference of the White People or . . Soatn. Carolina, Tn ???o ?curso of next wsok, it is pro? posed to have a conference on tho repre? sentatives of the whites, to tako into consideration the political situation, as seen in tho light of tho recent canvass. We have already indicated our judgment on this subject. We concur with the Charleston News in tho proposition that tho time has come for a foll organization of the white people of the State in the interosts of peace, security and develop? ment. Organization must be met by coun? ter-organization. A unit must be met by a unit. Denying no just right to tho colored race, we must maintain the heri? tage of our fathers, and firmly assert our historio, God-given prerogatives. SOLDIERS IN OUR ELECTION.-The New York World oomments as follows: A telegram from Washington an? nounces that the administration has completed its military programme for our election. General Terry is not to be in command, nor does it appenr from tho account tnat the Federal troops aro to be under tho direction of any respon? sible military head. They are to be sta? tioned at ?ie battery, in Union square, and al the office of the tlniled Sta'es Marshal, in readiness to be marched against our citi? zens at the call of any understrapper of a deputy marshal who gets it into his wise noddle that he may lawfully sum? mon them to his assistance. Tho send? ing of troops here at all on election day is a great outrage. It is a bold trampling upon the laws of .the State and the spirit of onr free institutions. Ho free people on the face of the earth ever allowed the calling out of soldiei-s in the face of an election. Hero is what tho revised statutes of New York say on this subject: "If any officer or other person shall call out or order any of the militia of this State, to appear and exercise on any day during any election to be held by virtue of this chapter, or within five days pre? vious thereto, except iu cases of inva? sion or insurrection, he shall forfeit 8500 for every such offence." There has always been a similar law in the other States; military terror in elections hav? ing been deemed by our fathers incon? sistent with their freedom. The law of Pennsylvania is in these words: "No body of troops in tho army of tho United States, or of this commonwealth, shall be present, either armed or unarmed, ut any place of election within this com? monwealth, during tho time of such election." There hus always been a similar law in England against the pre? sence of soldiers in nny town where an election is held. This administration is breaking down all the old bulwarks of liberty, and transforming our free republic info a centralized military despotism. Dr. Jonas Bryant, of Spartanburg, is in town, and reports that unless tho Re? formers aro upheld in their destruction of tho two Republican polls, wo have carried that County by a small majority. The lleformers prevented au election from being held in two of tho strongest Republican polls in tho County. The managers at one of tho polls, os has already been described, were cruelly whipped. Tho Legislature ought never lo permit a Reformer to take his seat whore such actions were resorted to. We clip tho above from tho South Carolina Republican. Wo do not know who Dr. Jonas Bryant is, but, if he is correctly reported, ho is certainly a fine specimen of a radical liar. Tho polls were opened at every pre? cinct iu this County but one, and that was ono of tho strongest Reform boxes in tho County. The evidence, wo have heard, indicates very plainly that tho whipping com? plained of was perpetrated by tho Radi? oais themselves, for tho express pnrposo of breaking up that precinct. Tho re? port of the election in another placo shows how much this Dr. Jonas Bryant knew about what he reported. f Carolina Spartan. A man eighty years of age has married a maidon of fourteen in Minnesota. That would be another instanoo of a union be? tween December and May, woro it not for the fact that the octogenarian was a preachor, and married the girl to a fel? low only a trifle older than herself. MB. EDITOB: I observo that Mr. J. M. Allen appears in print, and undertakes to expjaiu the aerviao he baa tendered tho State' In agreeing to do a certain work io^ $60,0dp. ^desire uric-fly ?o I mako some", inquiries of tho "honorable Senator."- I am-not yet satisfied that the Com m itt co wero "wise," as Mr. Allon contends, to accept his offer. Mr. Allen is hardly a good witness in bis own caso. Further, Mr. Allen may deem it very "absurd" to cry "Ring." I do not doubt it. Doubtless the flying tbief also deems it absurd to havo Bounded in his oars the uncomfortable ory of "stop tbief," Yot tho publio, whoso money is involved, will cry "Ring," when they see a "Ring" worm, just os the crowd will cry "stop tbiof" when they seo ono run? ning to savo himself. Rut let mo return to my metter. I have these questions to ask of Mr. Allen, as be has rushed headlong into print: Can or will be stato why it was that the other bidders on the Asylum job were not allowed tho samo privilege os he rececoived. He says: "I made anoth? er bid for the whole work, including stonc-work, plumbing, gas-fitting and iron work." Why did not the Committee allow Messrs. Denny, Noyes and Davis to bid on this additional work? There was tho want of fair play and tho chance for "foul" play. Mr. Allen says bis first bid was $35,000. He says bis second bid was $50,000-th at is $15,000 more, Who knows but that the other contractors would have agreed to do this additional work for luaa and much less than $15,000? This is the absenoo o? that fair play lo which I have alluded. Mr. Allen fails to make a satisfactory explanation. In excusing tho Committee he accuses them. In this transaction we discern something moro than a "want of formality." There was a positive wrong done the other contractors, to advance the interests of Mr. J. M. Allen; aud tbero was with? held a possiblo guiu for the Stato Treasury. I now close. Unless called forth by somo other matter, I am done, so far as thc newspaper is concerned. PAIR PLAY. <-??-. Mn. EDITOU: I must again beg your indulgenco for a small space in your col? umns in answer to "Fair Play." Hud "Fair Play" charged tho Board of Regents of tho Lunatic Asylum only with a mere want of formality in the awarding of the contrnct for tho exten? sion of thc Asylum, it would have been none of my business to defend them, as they were tho awarders of tho contract. What action the Board in such an event might or might not have taken, I am of course unable to say. But as long as the sad misnomer of "Fair Play" insinuates that tho Board of Regents are chargea? ble with a criminality-defrauding the State-I feel in duty bound to "inter? pose tho shield" between "Fair Play" and tho Board of Regents, for tho sim? ple reason that it would reflect upou me with equal force, because I would have been obliged to be cognizant of tho fraud. A shield is a pleasant thing to have, as "Fair Play" himself can testify; for I am well persuaded to behove that if tho shield which now screens tho devoted head of "Fair Play" were to bo with? drawn from him, ho would not bc quito so bellicose. The Hide-flings of "Fair Play" as to my "having taken my choice" and se? lecting to "share their fortunes," I over? look with tho same pity for him with which I overlook any gratuitous remarks so common at this time, and which have como to my ear. "Do right and fear nobody" is ono of my maxims. The en tiro tirado of "Fair Play" is, af tor all, not so much "duty" as political clap-trap. I scorn unfair means, no matter what political party employs them; they keep up enmity and strife, when tho true poli? cy for all is to court peace. Tho contract was drawn up by mysolf, and I ought to know what tho amount contracted for is, and I do know it; but if "Fair Play" mukes assertions, he must also substantiate them. Whatever "Fair Play" may be, ho is no lawyer; for the novel principio of law which ho lays down would puzzle the youngest student of Blackstone. What right had parties, whose names delicacy forbids mentioning, to presume that tho balanco over and above the ap? propriation of tho first extension of before tho war, "would bo forthcoming?' Wns "Fair Play" THEN interested? Did "Fair Play" then engineer tho appropria' tion? Is this not tho eutiro differenco, that my ox gores your cow instead ol your ox goring my cow? Uegretting that necessity has obligee; me to set myself right before tho public, and boping that I may havo succeedei: in this without giving offouco to any one, I now, with thanks to tho PHOENIX foi tho privilege afforded mo, closo tho dis (Mission of this matter. Very respect fully, G. T. BERG. INFAMOUS OUTUAGE.-Wo learn that on Wednesday night of Inst week, a re spectablo aud inoffensive citizen of tbil County, named Beuton, was taken on from his house by a gang of negroes am whipped until ho could hardly staud Tho affair occurred in Lower Salem. / nogto, in tho night, broke into a hotisi occupied by two white girls, and enteret tho chamber in which they slept. For tuuatoly they escaped tho villino uud fled Ho was identified, however, and, as it ii reported, his placo of abode visited b] parties unknown in search of him. Bu ho had conoealod himself somewhere else Thoreupon Mr. Bonton, who lived it that neighborhood, WOB visited and bor ribly treated by a gang of negroes as w< have stated abovo. It is said that th negroes were undisguised, but woro Icc by a white man in disguise, who was re cognized.-Sumte)' News. noW building on Fifth Axenuo,-ia. igivsn as an evidence of the growth of luxury in New York. "JXhese houses cost from $00,000 fo $150,000 epifoo, and thal Cjoroly for obstruction, exoludipg the ypluo of tho lund and tho furnlohiug. Ipdoc-d, the pudden extinguisbmont of Paris os a centre of luxury and fashion seems to have inspired New York with the purpose to assumo tho vacant place. We hear of the furniture whioh is going into these republican palaces as repre? senting sums of money capable of ex? pression only hy six figures. Bepstaads, whoBO wood-work alouo costs $2,000; sideboards, whose value is ?3,000; otegcros, costing 84,000, are among the articles; aud that this is not ? spasmodic extravagance is shown hy tho fact that a leading upholstery establishment of the city keeps on hand a stock valued at $1,000,000, and does a thriving business. Tho man who cnn afford to live in a $100,000 house and sloop ou a $2,000 bedstead may bo considered well off financially, nnd ho who eau arrange an entire establishment on that scale with? out violating tho rules of artistic har? mony and propriety, has the best right in tho world lo spend his money iu that way. If tho millionaires of New York can wed the culturo of ?hu old world to their money, they may succeed in repro? ducing Paris on thi6sido of the Atlantic, provided they keep their streets donner. THE TniuMPH IN WEST VIRGINIA. West Virginia must henceforth bo set down ns a Democratic State. Cut off from Virginia and erected into a State for purely partisan purposes, and mani? pulated iu the crucible of disfranchise? ment until radical ascendancy within its borders seomed pormauent, it has in one day overturned ovcry nico calculation, and couverted an instrumentality of Republican strength into a lasting source of weakness. The first result of the Democratic victory will be to let in some 20,000 now disfranchised citizens, who will hold tho Stnte Democratic for years by a sweeeping mnjority, and next to this comes tho election, vice Mr. Willey, of a Domooratic United States Senator in tho forty-second Congress, whoso vote will neutralizo Mr. Boreman's until that gentleman in turu is superseded by a Democratic successor, always provided Mr. 13. is not so worked upon by the sight of West Virginia's disfranchised thousands at the polls as to turn Demo? crat forthwith with au eye to re-election. West Virginia has dono well. Now for Missouri.-New York World. PEOPLE, FOLKS, VIRGINIANS.-In tho buist of enthusiasm for tho men und a gush of admiration for the women of Virginia, tho editor of tho Petersburg Index says: "But, after all, the greatest point of a Virginia agricultural fair, the greatest exhibition it eau make, is its show of people, of Virginians, of 'folks.' Now people axe ono thing, 'folks' are another, and Virginia produces 'folks.' You can find men aud women everywhere, but hardly, except in Virginia, shall you see .folks.' Geuial, social, generous, care? less, hopeful, old-fashioned, good-hu? mored, qnick-tempered with all, and a thought-lazy, abstracted, fond of theory, though less given of late to politics, pre? judiced, obstinate, talkative, full of an? ecdote, logical in argumeut, of cranky in action, good haters, hearty lovers, im? practical, seldom growing rich, but help? ing one auother, and with bark ever worse than their bite. Such are the 'folks' of Virginia." A MODERN JOAN OE ARC.-Rumors from France tell of a young girl who has, by thc display of singular gifts of elo? quence, induced thousands of enthusias? tic patriots to join her standard, which is to bo raised against tho Prussian in? vaders. Unlike Joan of Arc, she hus seen no visions and has no mission from the saints, which fact well becomes this practical age. Her chances aro not as good for making fame as were those of the original Joau in her day, and yet, Uko many other good women, Bhe may be of greater service in evoking tho pa triosm of men. A wealthy lady of New York receutly went through au extraordinary perform? ance. She gave out her engagement to a gentleman iu Washington, had tho cards sent out, tho guests carno in uura bors, mauy presents wero sent in, tho clergyman was ready, tho brido waiting, but the groom came not. On an expla? nation being demanded of the astonished gentleman, it appeared that the whole thing was a dolusion, or au invention of tho lady's, without tho slightest know? ledge of it on his part. Loss DY FIRE.-We deeply regret to loam that tho new residence of Dr. Geo. Wiso, in tho Pino House vicinity, was destroyed by fire on Monday last. The fire caught in some way from a stove pipe, and wns not discovered until the room was in a blazo. Tho doctor saved a portion of his furniture, but in conse? quence of the rapid spread of tho flames, had no inconsiderable amount of valua? ble furniture consumed. Tho doctor's loss cannot bo less than $3,000. [ Edyefield A dcertiser. DEATn OP AN OLD RESIDENT.-Last Tuesday week, there was buried ono of thu oldest inhabitants of this County, a white woman by the name of Betty Bowen, who was known to hove attained tho advanced ago of over 100 years how much over none can tell, us ull the cotemporaries of her early years have passed away.-Greenville Mountaineer. Horace Greeley, in his essays on farm i og, says that tho only way to effectually destroy "widow's weeds," which seem to thrive so in somo kinds of soi), is for the husbandman to say, "Wilt thou?" That makes them wilt. A Western editor, in announcing tho demise of his paper, says: "Tho bril? liancy of our career has only been equalled by its brevity, and the lack of business management has only been ex? celled by the lack of business itself." mnnioatioa of "Fairfield" that appeared in Sunday's PHONIX the Newberry Herald, says: -".. . . , "Oar readers will weigh them for themselves. As stated iq our hist issop, a severe line moat ho drawn, aud tho time for advising with, tho,negro is past. Tho races aro separate aud distinct. It will be a wasto of time, labor and breath to attempt to convince them of their beat interest, and lead them from out the baneful influences into which they have thrown themselves in such revengeful and antagonistic array. Their position is simply and plainly one of hatred to tho white race, and we will bo doing ourselves only greater injury by a oou tinnnnco of our past course. Wo do not advocate intemperate measures, how? ever, or violent extremes, do not menu harm, but simply to remembor that we are the white people, and that they are tho negro, that they havo chosen their ground aud arrayed themselves against us with a determination and hate which is unmistakeable, und that our policy is TO LET THEM ALONE, and take care of our? selves. But wo must have organization -not politically-bo it remembered, nod the views below aro worth consideration. Lot ns have n thorough understanding and a nuion of thc whole white people of the State, not forgetting either the worthy exceptions among the negroes who havo identified themselves with UP, or any others who may seo fit to cast their Hues in with us." Mr Ox AND YOUUBULL.-A "speckled Mongolian," named Smith, fancifully called a "negro cudet" at West Point, broke a oocoanut clipper over the head of ono Wilsou, a white boy from Wyo? ming. The New York Tribune thinks Smith was right, because, when hosmoto Wilson, ho constructively whacked all the other white boys who bad abused him. Tho Richmond Dispatch, amazed at this mode of reasoning, puts it to philosopher Greeley's paper thus: "If a rebel were to bre ak a cocoanut over a freedman's head it would talk very differently about it. It regarded iSuin ner's bead as the collective heads of all philanthropists, but it certainly did not cousider tbut Brooks' standing was un unimpaired by cracking tho collection." The Dispatc/t is quito right. Tho other day some refractory Puritan boys stoned a Massachusetts school-marm to death, and hardly any other notice has been taken of it. Ye gods! as Mr. Forrest l would say in Virginiun, suppose some "rebel" ragamuffins bad killed thut poor j spinster from thc Old Bay State! COMPARATIVE INCREASE OF ATLANTIC CITIES.-By tho returns of the cousus for 1870 tho increase of population in the city of New York for the last ten years has been nt tho rate of 13 9-10 per cent. lu Philadelphia the increase has been 16,'?? per cent. In Baltimore tho in orcase bas been a little over 25 j J per cent. Thus it will be seen that tho in? crease of population in Baltimore has been ut a rate nearly double that of New York city, and one-third greater than tho city of Philadelphia. Baltimore has, therefore, every reason to be satisfied with tlie growth, being in a rate so much greater than that of the two chief At? lantic cities. This result proves that our growth has bcon an extraordinary one, as was the general belief from the evi? dences in our midst, the great extension of buildings, etc. Tho population of tho chief Atlautic cities by the census of 1870 is as follows: New York, 024.GI3; Philadelphia, 657,170; Brooklyn, 306, 000, and Baltimore, 267,500. Here is a warning to youug men who jeopardise their lives every day. A young mau nt Indianapolis, Ind., has been tin? der treatment for what is discovered to be lead colic. It was a long time before the doctors found ont whero ho got it, but at last tho terrible truth carno out. He had been in tho habit of kissing a young woman who improved ber com? plexion by the aid of cosmetics. There should be a law passed that women using that stuff should put a sign up, "Beware of the Colic." Then a man could go to destruction with his eyes open. SUDDEN DEATH.-Mr. George H. Hop pock, a respected and prosperous mer? chant on East Bay, was found dead on tho floor of his room, at tho Mills House, about half-past 10 o'clock this morning, by ono of tho servants who was going his morning rounds. Mr. Hoppock retired to his room about 0 o'clock last evening, evidently in perfect health and in tho best of spirits.-Charleston Republican. A reporter of tho Newburyport Herald says, and says it boldly: "Last evening, ns soon ns Tithonus had retired for tho night, and was enjoying bis first snooze, his spouse, tho rosy-fingered Aurora, daughter of tho morning, snatched tho saffron-colored oovorlet from his bed, and, wrapping it about her, danced n jig in tho Northern sky." "Can you manage to givo my son one of tho prizes at the exhibition?" asked a mother of a teachor. "No, madam," was tho reply ; "your son will stand no chance; bo obstinately persists in idle? ness." "Oh, but thoo," exclaimed the fond mamma, "if that's so, you can give him a prize for perseverance!" A firo in Charleston, on Thursday morning, destroyed two small houses, corner Morris street and Jasper Court. The occupants wero colored people, who lost everything. A colored woman named Jenkins, and a colored man, nattie unknown, were found dead in Charleston, on Tuesday night.
