COLUMBIA. S. C. Tuesday If urning, October 8,1872. For President of the United Stoles. HORACE GIIKKLKY, of Ntw York. For Vice-President n. GRATZ BROWN, of Missouri, The Elections '?o-D?y-Thelr Signlfl. canoe? The three great States of Pennsylva? nia, Indium, and Ohio hold their bien? nial elections to-day. The eyes of the entire country will be turned upon them with anxious scrutiny, for with them, doubtless, rests the issue of the Presi? dential conflict. The chief interest centres, in Pennsylvania, partly on ac? count o'f the important looal issues in? volved there, but chiefly beoause of the decisive influence which the fall State eleotious in that great commonwealth have exercised upon the Presidential election in November. "As Pennsylva? nia, so goes the Union," has passed into a political proverb, and it will hold good in this, perhaps, more than in any pre? vious eleotion. G oe. Grant was elected, in 1868, by a popular majority of only some 300,000, out of a vote of nearly 6,000,000. In many of the States, the vote was very close. California, out of a total vote of nearly 125,000, gave Grant a majority of only 514. Moreover, four States-Virginia, Texas, Florida and Mississippi, all of which, with the ex? ception of Mississippi, whioh is regard? ed doubtful, are sure for Greeley-were not allowed to vote in 1868. Graut can? not, Lu?r?i?r?, Walk OT?? th? ??iif?? i? any event. The great importance of the elections to-day consists in the manifestation whioh they will give of the Liberal Re? publican strength. The Democrats are solidly for Greeley as against Grant. There is no longer reason to doubt tba t the fall Democratic vote will be polled for him. The only unknown quantity is the Republican following whioh the Liberal movement hos attached to itself. We think that it will be found to be even larger than hopeful Liberals and Demo? crats generally anticipate. It seemc plain now, beyond denial, that all thc great leaders of the Republican party ol former years, the men who furnished its brains, character and legitimate life and vigor, are now arrayed against Grant ic the persons of Greeley, Sumner, Tram bull, Ourtin, Schurz, Farnsworth, Banks, Brown, Palmer, Julian, and the dozem of other prominent and able men whe have hitherto been allied with Radical ism and now support Greeley. Where among those who still cling to Grant am centralization, oan you find any to com pare with them on the sco,-o of integrity ability or influence? The only thing, in deed, whioh sustains Gen. Grant at all is his war record, and bis being the ex ponent of Northern sectionalism. Hit administration has most unquestionably been a failure in every respect in ita foreign relations, in its economy, and most important of all, in the pooifloatioi of the oouutry. "Let UH have pesco" was Grant's fa moos watch-word, but we have had u peace. It was a noble sentiment, an its utterance struck a responsive ohor in the hearts of the people. Gen. Grant too, we are charitable enough to pre sumo, really intended at tho time to poi sue the peaceful and conciliatory polio; indicated in his famous apothegm. Ba he bus failed. He hud not the strengt of purpose, or perhaps of desire ever to make an effort to win the coufldenc of the South to his administration. A vi rice seems to be his ruling passion. Tb pecuniary aggrandizement of binase and his numerous relations has appt rently commanded his ohief atteutio and been the object of his primo rogar since he was made President. In mal tere of government, he has allowed hin self to be made the tool of the politi oians. Morton, the bitter partisan, ha been his ohief adviser, and with othei of bis stripe, hos dictated the oruel an ruinous polioy of the Goneral Govert ment in the renou9trnotion of the Soutt ern States. For mere porty parposei the fairest section of the Union has bee tnrned over to the oontrol of ignoranc and vice combined, and their power sui tained even with the bayonets of th United States. The ro-election of General Grant is a endorsement of the acts of his ndminii tuition. We cannot behove that a mi jority of tho people of the United Stat? approve them. Tho people wcro f< peace and reconciliation in 1868. Thc thought to seoare thom through Gran He has been tried and found wanting In Greeley rests tho only hopo of gent ino and hearty reunion, the crowniu political necessity of the day, and w believe the people of Pennsylvania au Indiana will so deolare before the su sets to-day. Of Ohio we are more doub fal, though the reports from there ha\ been far from discouraging. If the L berala and Democrats carry any two of these States, Oreeley'a election is as? sured beyond a doubt. If they carry Pennsylvania by a good sound majority, his eleotion will be reasonably certain, and if they carry Indiana alone, his ohances will be even, at least, with those of Grant. To-morrow night's despatches will probably tell the tale. DECIDED OPINIONS MOM MB. A. T. STEWART.-It has been the custom of the Grant journals to profess great conoern for the financial condition 'of the coun? try under the possible administration of Mr. Greeley. Among other authorities which have been invented to sustain this mournful view of things, Mr. A. T. Stewart, the foremost merohant and im? porter of the country, has been quoted. The Herald sent n reporter to find ont what Mr. Stewart really thought of the financial aspect of the eleotion, and got a very plain answer from that gentle? man. The report is as foliows: Reporter-Mr. Stewart, yon are pro? bably aware of the existence of ah im? pression in the pnblio mind, and which is sought to be strengthened to aid the Administration interests in the coming eleotion, that the elevation of Mr. Gree? ley to the Presidency would lead to re? sults adverse to the financial interests ol the mercantile community and of the oonntry generally. I have been directed by the Herald to call npon yon, sir, to learn whether it is agreeable to you to make public yonr views npon the subj eat. Mr. Stewart-What is it yon want to know? Reporter-Well, we want to know whether you look forward to Mr. Gree? ley's eleotion as likely to prodnce un' easiness and ?nanoial difficulty in the financial world? Mr. Stewart-I do not. Why should it lead to difficulty? Reporter-Well, it is said that Mr, Greeley's peooliar financial views woulc bo the reverse of those entertained bj Mr. Bontwell. Mr. Stewart-Gan yon tell me wha are the views of Mr. Bontwell? I ne7ei oonld learn that he had any sp?cial viewi or polioy. I supposed his oonrse wai controlled by his judgment of exist in? circumstances. So far as his polioy ooo sists in purchasing, at a large premium Government bonds not yet due, I thinl the sooner that is terminated the bette for the country; and the sooner it is un derstood that the Government intend entering upon a polioy which at som future time, no matter how remote, wil lead to a resumption of specie payment? the better it will be for everybody. GOD tinuing the course that has been pursue the last four years will never lead ns t specie payments, but leaves every mei ohant at the mercy of gold gamblers. Reporter-Then you have no fear thc the eleotion of Mr. Greeley will produc any financial difficulty? Mr. Stewart-None whatever. Reporter-What do you think of h present views on the tariff question Would they not, if carried out by ohango of the tariff, lead to some aol fusion with the merchants? Mr. Stewart-Not at all. On the coi trary, I think Mr. Greeley leaves thi question where it always should be left with tho people, through their membe of Congress, uncontrolled by party di talion. I have always contended th the tariff l?ws, . to which our count looks for its revenue, should be diotab wholly by tho rules of equity and ju tice, and so as to bear equally in the application upon ali interests aud classe Take off the party whip, allow the mei bers of,.Congress to consult the genei interests .of their respective constitu?e in forming the tariff laws, and I belie we would find every interest much bett Her ved and pioteoted than it now is. It will now be in order for the Ada nistration Whiffets which bark at t heels of every man who dares have i honest opinion of his own, to deri Grant's first choice for Secretary of t Treasury. If ho gets off with bei sailed only "a small retailer of tapes a! day-laoes," he will be luck v. A LIVBIJY EPISODE*-The Atlanta <S records the following episode daring t ate oloction in that city: Tho voting proceeded rapidly b ?uiotly until about 10 o'clook, when >egan to bo suspeoted that the neg rt vere repeating. Many expedients wt uggested to defeat this practioe. Th rere questioned, and quizzed, a patched and sworn, but all to no effe rinally tome ingenious fellow return rom the city with a cargo of fish-hool .nd placing himself in close oonjanoti rith the multitude of negroes tl rowded into the polls, he dextroui lipped a fish-hook into the coat of eve tegro voter as he passed. After he h .eon engaged in this pleasant recreati or some time, he disoovered one co: a with a fish-hook in his coat, approa ho polls and try to voto. He was imn iately pointed out and arrested for v ag twico. Almost simultaneously Hot ames, who, it is alleged, was an i orted South Carolina darkey, was ested for illegal voting. They wi otb promptly arrested. Their arr routed some excitement among I olored voterB, who seemed to thi hey had been imposed upon. 1 olicumou started down Hunter str pwurds tho station house, when a ci iderable number of negroes made so light demonstrations towards resoui lie prisoners. They proooeded a lil istanoe as if uncertain what to do, c r two exclaiming faintly, "Let'e ti im," "Come boys," but they soon c ersed without making any furt! omonstrationB. Five negroes were ?ted daring tho day for illegal votin Washington Correspondence. WASHINGTON, October 5, 1872. To THE EDITOR OF THE PHCENTX: Dis oonraged by the result of the Louisville flazle, and of the many other attempts they have made to seduce D?mocrate from the support of Horace Greeley, the regular nominee of the party, the Grant mou have decided to concentrate their efforts on a grand and simultaneous endeavor, all over the Union, to reclaim the Liberals back into the Republican fold. ?The men detailed for this work ure "child-like and bland" of manner, not argumentative, but persuasive and affectionate. They tell you that tbey kuow Grant is goiug to be elected, and that there- is a private understanding between the Administration party and the leading Domooratio Senators, Repre? sentatives, and other leadiDg politicians, that Grant shall bo supported by a suffi? cient number of Democrats in the doubt? ful States to secure bim a majority of eleotoral votes, in return for which a oertaiu number of Congressmen und State officers are to be oouooded to the Democrats. The "napper" even goes so far as to say that he, himself, would prefer Greeley, if he oould be olected, but that he, the capper, knows how the curds are stocked, and goes for Grant only because Greeley can't win, &o. The organization of the Grant men is so com? plete that their committees iu Washing? ton and New York can issue their orders to the postmasters, collectors, and other office-holders, very rapidly; and their orders are promptly obeyed. But it is too late now for the Administration to think of coaxing the Liberal Republi? cans baok to allegiance. It shows, how? ever, the desperate straits to whioh the Grant party is reduced. Bat their labors will avail them nothing. The Liberal Republicans are, if anything, more bit? ter towards the party they have left thuu the Democrats are. They have been be? hind the curtain, and they know how it is themselves. I was up at tho Capitol this morning. Well, it was rich. Tho Grant men, who occupy the entire Senate wing of the hage edifice, for the purpose of folding and franking their lying documents, were about tho sickest looking lot of ducks I have ever seen. Indiana thaj gave up last week. Pennsylvania they now concede to Buckalow, with curses Loud and deep on the old sinner, Came? ron, who insisted on the nomination foi the ohief magistracy of the seoond State Lu the Union, of a man after his own heart, a publia swindler, who refers th? people of Pennsylvania for his moral sbaraoter to a penitentiary convict, pardoned by the present Republican Go? vernor for the purpose of insulting thc people by the proffer of his testimony to the moral purity of his pal. Withic ? very few days, advices from Ohio, ol which I have hitherto had no hopes, an ?Iso of such a character as to make ai the Administration "beats" here shaky They are afraid, if they curry the Stat? sn Tuesday, it will be by such a sinai majority as to be easily overcome by thi Liberals in November. It will be cheer ing to the friends of equal rights and ai iionest administration of public affairs to know that the Grant men also give uj North Carolina. They know that wi lost that State in August for tho rcasoi that all the nominations had been mad< before, and, therefore, of course, irre ?pective of, the Cincinnati Convention ind that tho usual bargains and pledge )f support had been made by politician iud the friends of candidates, &o., &c Now, however, they seo, to their utte iismay, some of the most influontia tuen in the State who worked hard ac cording to previous promise for Re publican candidates for office during th late State elections, working still barde [or Greeley's olection. I know mysol .bree influential and highly educate. North Carolinians who, not auticip'itin :he political revolution inaugurated a Cincinnati, had pledged thomsolves t Pool, and who went to North Carolin 'rom Washington, and did, or profonde ;o do, what they could for him, but wh lave been ever since devoting their bes noughts and energies to the redomptio )f the old North State by the olection c Horace Greeley. But perhaps the rt mit of the campaign in Georgia is th utterest pill thc Grant men have had t iwallow thus far. Of course, they sa hey expected it. But I know that the lid not expect so marked aud overwhela ag a defeat as they have suffered iu th Ampire State of the South. I canuc orbear, in this connection, hazarding ew words on tho apparont remissness c .ur leading men in not making as mnc tolitioal capital ont of tho result of th Georgia election as they might has aade. If the Iliberal and Domooratio Nt ional Committees aud the State Centn lommittees of Nebraska, Indiana, Obi nd Pennsylvania had been wiso, the rould have managed, among them, t apply every newspaper in those State hut advocate the olection of Greele ad Brown, with a sufficient number c alf sheet "extras," containing tho.rosa f tho olection in Georgia, to enabl nena to place a copy ia tho hands c very voter in those four States. Thee extraB," printed in very large typi light have been used also for posten am confident it would have had an e: silent effect. Oar mon aro staune ad true; but they are human, aud the eed encouragement. They had fongl ravely against overwhelming odd ireo pitched battles in North Carolin! Caiuo aud Vermont-forlorn hopes, i bich they know, before going int iem, that they would be worsted. I /eat Virginia, where they had also ha bard fight, local affairs wore iu sue i incomprehensible muddle, that aft? io battle was over, it was next to ia ossible to judge of its possible effect o ie Presidential eleotion. Now, mid? ieee circumstances, did not good gem Jsbip domaud that, whoa, at last, vii .ry perobed upon our banner, our fir iotory during the campaign, a victoi > signal and prophetio as to demorulis te Grant leaders np to the point ? their not knowing whether they are standing on their heads or on their hoofs -did not, I ask, good generalship de? mand that every available dollar should be expended in keeping the glorious and cheering news, in Driel and appropriate language and attraotive form, until sun? down of tho 8th of Ootober, conspicu? ously beforo the entire people of the four States whoso votors are to deoide, on that day, whether tho forty millions of people of thia nation are to be hence? forth united in heart-without which a permanent union of States ?B impracti ble-on the basis of equal rights, for tho accomplishment of oommon purposes, and tho achievement of a common des? tiny? Perhaps all this has been done. If it hat? not, I hopo and bolieve wo shall win, bat I desire more than that. I want to see the ronte of the party of hate and discord complete beyond all reason? able hope of retrieval in tho long future. A. F. B. Tile Amendment, To THE EDITOR OP THE PHONIX: The attention of the Execntive Committee of the True Republican party has been called to your article of Sunday last, with reference to the proposed amend? ment to the State Constitution, limiting the power of the Legislature to create a debt, without first submitting the ques? tion to a vote of the people. Our com? mittee is unanimously in favor of the proposed amendment; and have ordered only affirmative tickets to bo printed for the use of voters of oar party. No ne? gative tickets will be printed or circulated by us, and every effort will be used on oar part to seoure the adoption of the proposed amendment. D. T. CORBIN, EDWIN F. GARY. COLUMBIA, S. C., Ootober 7,1872. To THE EDITOB OP THE PHCEXIX: The day of election for State officers is fast drawing nigh, when the people will be called upon to decide who are to be our rulers for the next few years. It is im? material to me whether Moses is to be the Qovernor, or whether Tomlinson is to occupy the gubernatorial chair; but it is of the utmor.t interest not only to me, but to every man in tho State, to know who ?B to be the Treasurer. Two men are aspirants for that office. F. L. Car dozo, a colored native of this State, and tho present Secretary of State, is the candidate of the regular Republicans. The candidate of the True Republicans ?B tho Hon. Edwin F. Gary, the present State Auditor. Both of these men are well known to the people of this city, and also of the Stnte; and as to the merits of either to fill the position of Treasurer, no Bane man can differ in opi? nion from the writer. The Hon. P. L. Cardozo is totally un? fitted for the office which ho seeks to occupy. His knowledge of finance is limited to tho daily receipts and dis? bursements of his pocket, and I feel 6afe in saying that, with all his classical and mathematical education, he is at this moment unable to square thc circle of the celebrated South Carolina ring. To put such men as this into tho office of tho Treasury would bo a criminal blun? der, and would only lead him, through his great honesty and incompetency, to commit graver blunders thau those ho has committed whilst Secretary of State. In the Hon. Edwin F. Gary, wo havo a person of a different stamp. With Mr. Gary as Treasurer, wo will have a man of superior ability, thoroughly ?killed in finance and tho laws of trude, and ono who will possess the confidence at the great balk of tho people of the State, and who, as the peoplo's trnsted servant of their great safe, will bo able to open and close its combinations with the same keen sense that enabled him to unlock and block tho great combination )f the Bluo Ridge Railroad swindle. 3uch is the mau wo want; a man of pure character, and who will never attempt to ink tho Secretary of State to carry South karolina's great seal to New York, with Evhich to seal fraudulent bonds. Put the ?/rf gray coat m office; it has been worn nany a day, and the people can thou rest secure in the thought that tho wearer will never dishonor tho color. S. L. GREENVILLE, October 5,1872. Mn. EDITOR: It would bo a work of mpererogation to attempt a correction of di tho misstatements of correspondents vb.o imagino that their individual opinion s the supremo desiro of tho people. Loy cause must bo weak, indeed, if it nust be bolstorcd up by falsity. Justice o tho cause of truth, as well as to tho ?eoplo of Newberry, require that the tatemonts of MW,"in tho Union, of tho ;th inst., should be corrected. Mr. Cor iin spoke from tho Court House steps on VednoBday night. There was much loise (the effects of John Barleycorn) by mo Mr. Nance and some colored men, rho quarreled, about what I cannot tell, nd after Mr. Corbiu retired Mr. Nanoo ried to speak. I do not regard Mr. lance ns tho exponent of the people of lewborry County. If any indignity to jysolf occurred beyond this, I am total 7 ignorant of it; and if tho crowd re ired to tho headquarters of tho "regu irs" it was after I retired to bed.

On account of the promptness with which it ohecks the fevers generated by unhealthy exhalations, Hostetter's Bit? ters is considered an indispensable fami? ly medicine on the borders of our South? ern and Western rivers, and in new set? tlement?, where the plough and the axe are for the first tims disturbing the soli? tudes of nature. Its reputation, how? ever, is not confined to suoh localities. Wherever the elements of disease are rife, it is the surest safeguard of health; wherever sickness prevails, it is effica? cious as a remedy. Among tho seriouB diseases which it is guaranteed to con? trol, are indigestion, biliousness, and all tho minor ailments connected with de? rangements of the stomach, the liver, and tho bowels, suoh as heart-born, head? ache, flatulence, costiveness, nausea, distaste for food, languor and debility, palpitation of the heart, trembling of the hands, noises in the ears, disordered vision, disturbed sleep, and mental in? quietude. As these physical and mental disturbances tend to a general failure of all the powers of the system, they should be at once corrected-ns they always may be-by a oonrie of Hoatetter'6 Sto? mach Bitters. 06tf3 A prominent Southern politician in? forms the New York Tribun? that aboat i year ago he sighed for an appoint? ment to a oonsulate in China or Japan, whereupon he was advised to make inte .est with Gen. Fred. Dent, one of tho 'amily of military brothers-in-law, who .ecently nndertook to indent the sconce >f a Capital editor in Washington. He vrote; an interview was provided for, md on tho third meeting, as a suggest ve prompter, a $100 bill was left under he General's blotter, with an intimation hat something might, bo found there. Lt a subsequent meeting, the General in identally remarked: "Oh, I found some bing on my desk after yon left on Sa? ur day;" to whioh the P. S. P. replied: 'Never mind, that's all right."
