COLUMBIA. S. C. Saturday BLorninsr, October 19,1872. For President of the United States. HOR&CB ?UEELRY, or New York. For Vice-President B. GRATZ BROWN, or Missouri. Our Duty in til? Presidential Race. Our State election is over and the way )B open for ns to take part in the con? test between Greeley and Grant, as wo may doom to bo best for our Stato and for our country. Thero is no sort of question that a vast majority of our con? servative oitizons aro in favor of Greeley ami r?conciliation, and it is high time that an eleotoral ticket should be put in the Hold. The sentiments convoyad in the Cincinnati platform are ours. Wo believe in them honestly and sincerely, and we can see no reason why we should not openly advocate them. Reconcilia? tion is the idea which is bound eventu? ally to win, because it is right in itself, ls true patriotism and is the crowning neoessity of the period. Greeley is the exponent of reconciliation. He is the friend of the South in that be is the representative of friendly re-union, and our plain duty ia to support him. It is right, and it is also expedient. What Gen. Grant may do in the f u future, if be is re eleoted, we do not know. Ho claims that he is for peace. His party claim that they are for peace. Bat they claimed the same thing four years ago, and they have disappointed ibo expectations of evory intelligent American citizen who trusted their fair promises. The reconstruction of tho South, under Grant, has been a misera? ble . failure, and there is no question about it. Tho governments of the Southern States, established and main? tained under the auspices of the national authority at Washington, have been the moat corrupt and disgraceful of the age, or of any age. They are regarded on all Bides as a "disgraoe to civilization." Through their instrumentality $200,000, 000 of debt have been heaped npon the Southern States, more than double what they formerly owed, and there is not a doilir of benefit to the States to be shown as a consideration for it. The scrapings of the earth have been made our Governors and our Congress? men, and our men of public position generally. A combination of vice and ignorance has ruled the publia counsels. The thing cannot be sustained. It is radically wrong, and the good sentie of the American people will oorroot it. The Liberal movement is a protest against this outrage, and it. must prevail. The whole strength of the regular Radical movement, headed by Grant, is iu hit individual popularity and tho strong sec? tional feeling of a part of the Northern people. Grant is running this time en? tirely upon his own muncie, as the suc? cessful conqueror of the Southern re? bellion, us it is considered ot the North, In itself, his administration bas been ? complete failure, both in its foreign anc its domestic policy. Financially, the affairs of governmenl have been managed tolerably well. Thc receipts from direct taxation and from the tariff have been large, and a portioi of them have been applied to the redno tion of the publio debt. Outside o this, General Grant's administration hai been more defective than any of its pre decessore, and can have no olaims tc popular support. As being the rep re sentative of reconciliation, re-union anc reform, Greeley undoubtedly has tho in side track, and there needs but a cou rageoos and combined effort on the par of the Conservative elements to insure his election, As true and honest citizens, above th? influence of corrupt power, and not tc be bought by gain, we must vote fo: Greeley. Upon the Executive Commit tee of the Democratic party and th? representative of the Liberal Republi can party in the State devolve the re Bponeibility of putting ont an eleotora ticket, and wo hope they will now do s< without delay. i ? ????? THE ELECTION.-The most complet order and quiet was observed daring tin whole of election day in this town, an< at every other precinot that wo bav< heard from. We did not seo a drunkei man or hear an angry word spoken dur ing tho wholo day. Tho Bolters' anc Conservative tioket for County officer was muoh scratched, but we feel conti dent that all our candidates for the Le gisiaturo are elected, with th? Sheriff Probato Judge and County Commission ere. The majority for B. F. Perry w do not think will be as great as Tomlin son's, bot it is eafo to put it at 250 Homer L. McGowan ran fully up will the Tomlinson tiokot for Solicitor. Th people of Union have done their dut, nobly, and if the white people in oacl County of the State have done as well Tomlinson is elected Governor by 10,00 votes.

EDITOR: Reports from seventeen boxes give 815 majority for the Demo? cratic County ticket. Rotures from fourteen boxea, giro TomLiuson 1,085 majority. The remaining boxes will givo 200 additional majority for the County ticket, and 500 additional majo? rity for Tomliuson. The County Demo? cratic ticket's estimated majority is 1,085; TomiinBou'? estimated majority is 1,585. B. F. Perry, for Congress, and H. Ju. McGowan, fdr Solicitor, run with the County tioket. Everything passed off quietly. There was a small vote polled. O. GREENVILLE, S. C., Oot. 17, 1872. FRIEND SELB?: Returns from the va? rious County precincts.are all in, and re? sult in the bande?me average majority of nearly 500 for the entire Liberal Demo? cratic ticket. The Tomliuson tioket was generally voted by the Democrats, and receives about the same majority. The election throughout tho County passed oil with tho usual good order of the people of Greenville,, who are ever truo lo themselves nod their State, whe? ther in the field or forum. The follow? ing are the Conservatives elected: ?State Senate-Thomas Q. Donaldson. Representatives--James P. Moore, Stanley S. Crittenden, John R. Good? win, James McCullough. Solicitor 8th Circmt-r-Wm. H, Perry. Clerk of Court-Wm. A. McDaniel. Sheriff-John Xi. Southern. ' Judge of Probate-Samuel J, Donthit. County. Commissioners-Andrew R. MoDrtvid, Wm. J. West, Wm. C. Good? win. School Commissioner-Jas. H. Taylor. Coroner-Wm. H. Goodlett. M. ELECTION SUMMARY.-The latest re? turns from Charleston give Bowen 2,389 majority. Wallace, for Congress, carries Fairfield County by about 1,200 majority over Governor Perry, this being a gaiu of 300 for the Dem?crata aa compared with the lojt ?lection. Returns from all the boxes are not yet iu. It is estimated that Tomliuson's ma? jority in Anderson County will be about 600. The County tickets were out, and Featherston, (Democrat,) John Cochran, (Republican,) and Wilson, (Independ? ent,) candidates have probably been eleoted to the Legislature. There were about 2,650 white, and 1,480 colored, votes polled. Perry, for Solicitor, gets a majority of about 1,000 in this County. Wallace has a majority of ubout 300 over Governor Perry for Congress in Chester. The whites polled a very slim vote, and generally voted forTomliosoa. It is probable that the legislative ticket of York County will be composed of three Radicals and one Conservative-a Conservative gaiu. Wallace has a small majority for Cougress over Governor L'erry. The Democrats have no doubt carried Oconee County. SAD OCCURRENCE.-We learn that on Monday last, Mr. Erasmus Kurviu lost one of his children-a little boy-in a very distressing manner. The little fel? low, iu some way, got caught in a cotton gin and was torn to pieces. His father was absent from home at the time at? tending court. We also learn that Mr. William Wilds got his hand badly mangled, uno day last week, while feeding a gin. [Darlington Southerner. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-On yesterday morning Lieutenant Weston, of the Seventh Cavalry, whilo engaged in drill? ing his troops, was seriously injurod by falling on his sabre, tho point of whiob entered the left arm-pit, penetrating a depth of two or three inches. The ac? cident resulted from the horse he was riding rearing up and the saddle turning from its proper position. Tho hurt is quite severe, yet hopes aro eutortaiued that no fatal result will ensue. i YbrkviUe Enquirer. FIRE IN SPRINGVILLE.-Wo are in? formed that the gin house of Mr. E. J. Lide, together with its contents, and sixteen bales of cotton, were destroyed by fire on Wednesday morning last, about 7 o'clock. The gin was ia motion at tho time, and the fire was first disco? vered ia the li?t room. The oause is aot definitely known, but suspicious poiat to iaoeudiarism. [Darlington SouOterner. THE ELECTION.-The election passed off quietly yesterday ia this place. At au early hour tho colored people began to pour ia from the country, and were met by "strikers" from both the "Bolt? ers" and "regular" tickets, both parties working diligently. The contest seems to be pretty well divided at this preciaot iu the Couaty ticket. Goveroor Perrv received a heavy vote for Congressman, Thero were 1,000 votes uast at this place. I Winnsboro News. ACCIDENT.-Tho gin h on s o of Captain | W. ?. Moore, of York County, was burned on Tuesday last, with some twenty bales of cotton. The fire was caused by tho spindle of the brush wheel becoming heated. Tho lint room was filled with loose cotton, which burnt like powdor. Tho gin house of Mr. Reuben Hay, near Hurtsville, was destroyed by fire one day last week. Supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. [Darlington Southerner.

The news wa aro receiving through onr special correspondence of the trou? bles in Arkansas gives rise to grave ap? prehensions that the bloody drama there is spreading and becoming intensified. The immediate cause of these disorders and tho details of their development have been given in our correspondence from Arkansas, and it is unneoessary to recapitulate them. They arose from po? litical conflicts, engendered chiefly by unscrupulous carpet baggers, 'and have culminated in an incipient wnr between the white and black raoes. The statesman whoso remains were given to the earth at Auburn on Monday first pronounced, we believe, those omi? nous words-the "irrepressibleconflict." They wero uttered while Mr. Soward was a Senator of the United States, aud when he was leading the anti-slavery movement in this country. He did not care, probably, to look beyond tho abo lition of slavery. He was content to leave the consequences to tho future and to the wisdom and sense of right of the Amerioan people. It is proper to say here, ia justioe to the memory of the de? ceased statesman, that, having brought tho irropressiblo conflict to the end he had in view-the freedom of the negroes -he became conservative, and endea? vored to produce harmony between the two races in the South. Those who fol? lowed Mr. Seward in the control of pub? lic affairs were more radical. They were not contented with emancipating the negroes, giving thom the suffrage, and securing to them, by amendments to the Constitution and through the law, all the rights and privileges that white citi? zens enjoy, but were resolved, for politi? cal objects, to virtually mako the blacks tho ruling power in the Southern States. It is this policy which has produced the fearful state of things in Arkansas, which has led to the unblushing official rob? bery and demoralization in South Caro? lina, Georgia, Louisiana, and other States, and which threatens to bring on a war of races at no distant day through? out the South generally. No other ci? vilized State in modern times has exhi? bited Buch a speotaole of o Annul villainy and degraded practices as have been wit? nessed in South Carolina under negro rule and that of the white carpet-bag? gers, who. are the allies of the negroes against the people of their own race and blood. I The orgies at tho State capital, Columbia, among the negro men und women and their white allies, the trading in votes of the Legislature through de? graded colored women, and tho plunder of the Treasury and tax-payers, have not been exceeded in the black republic of Hayti, and that is Baying a great deal. So in other Southern States demoraliza? tion has grown rank in proportion to the negro population and its influence ia the local governments. And how could it be otherwise? The most intel? ligent and capable people have been os? tracised, and the most ignorant have been made their political masters. Un? scrupulous and needy adventurers from tho North have, under the fostering oare of the Radical Government at Washing? ton, pandered to the passions and preju? dices of the ignorant blacks, and have thus sown broadcast the seeds of race animosity and discord. While wo are not disposed to believe that either the Administration or the majority of the dominant Radical party in or ont of Congress wished to see this deplorable state of things, it is evident that their policy has brought it about. To secure the negro vote at all hazards, and, if ne? cessary to accomplish that, to alienate the Southern blacks from tho whites, was the object. Tho politicians only looked to the present and left the future to tako care of itself, if even a war ol races should bo the result. The irrepressible conflict, then, hoi taken another shape. It is not now e question of slavery or of equal political rights, but which race shall rule in thc South. Indeed, it has beea and is stii a question of governing tho country through pandering to and controlling tho negro vote. No such issue ought tc have been made. The material interesti of tho blacks and whites in the South and therefore their political objects ant affiliations, aro, or should be, identioal This issue of race antagonism, forcee upon the Southeru States by the Radi cals, is full of mischief and can only enc disastrously. We begin to see the con sequenoes in Arkansas. If wo look a the history of other countries where th? negroes have acquired self-government or where they have been a pr?domin?t ing element, either b.?* being in a ma jority or by some wbito faotion usinj them as allies, ruin and demoralizatioi have inevitably followed. Such bas beei the case in Hayti, ia St. Domiogo, ii Venezuela, in some of the Central Ame rican States, and everywhere, in fact where the blacks have obtained, direct!; or indireotly, the political power. On of tho most significant indications of tb conflict of races in the South, and of i more bloody conflict that threatens in th future, IB the numerous and wide-spreai secret olubs and other organizations o the negroes. Most of them are political and all have somo political bearing Many are of a semi-religious character or rather are made so for tho pretext o dissolate orgies, mixed with tho wildes fanaticism. In Richmond, Ya., thor aro not less, probably, than 100 of thes oath-bound olubs or societies of bot! sexes. They are becoming genere throughout tho South. Through thee and other means the negroes from on ead of the South to the other, ignoran as they may be, keep up a sort of myst cal and universal communication. If w would prevent the conflict that is grow ing up between the two races, and whicl indeed, may soon becomo irrepressible the polioy of the Government mast b ohanged toward the South. Lot c avoid the horrors of St. Domingo, on let poaoe, harmony and good fueling I encouraged between the negroes and til whites in the South, that garden an beautiful section of our common coui try. But this can uover bo attained if our politicians continue to niako ono raoe a separate political element aud array it against the other. fIVeu) York Herald. AN EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION CREATING A SENSATION IN CINCINNATI.-Tho Com? mercial published a sensation, on the 15th, in the proceedings of tho day pre? vious of the Evangelical Ministerial As? sociation, in which the subject of crimi? nal abortion- was introduced nud dis? cussed. Rev. Dr. Hatfield, of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church, formerly of Chicago, and somewhat famous for his terrine onslaught on. the theatres, called uttention to the appalling preva? lence of criminal abortion by respectable American women. He affirmed tba' there was not a block in Cincinnati that did not contain women who murdered their unborn children and thought it no? thing. They carno to churoh, he said, and to the sacraments with bands stained with the blood of the unborn innocents. He called upon tho ministers present to look the evil io the face, nnd oonfer to? gether as ministers of God, as members of society, and as parents, for the best menus to check the evil and save Ameri? can society und American life from de? struction. He stated that upon inquiry and investigation he found that pny.si cians were importuned every day to pro? duce abortions by tho ladies of the highest standing, and gave au instance of a wealthy and influential lady whom her physician iu vaia urged to abandon the purpose; for in reply to all his argu? ments and persuasions she said, "I don't oare; if you don't do it I'll do it myself, for my husband don't waut any more children, and neither do I." Dr. llutlield cited the Roman Catholic Church as setting an example of watch? fulness over its people in this respect, KU much HO that ho, as a Protestant jminis ter, stood abashed and silent beforo tho Catholics, ho said. And even German infidels were raising more ohildreu in this country than auy other people in it; and if something was not done to pre? vent destruction of foetal life among the American people, the government of the country would eventually pass into the hands of foreigners. Rev. Granvillo Moody, of the samo churoh, and Rev. Henry D. Moore, of the Cougregatioual Church, affected not to believe tho statements, but the former Anally acknowledged that there was something iu them, but it was essential to bo guarded in expression, as there was a reporter present. The thing has produced a genuine sensation and made the assembled reve? rends look at each other as if the bottom bad been knocked out of things. The publication was the town talk to day, and will set theological scientists ou a now trail. mt ? *> RETURN OE DIAMOND-SEEKERS-GEO? LOGY OF THE REGION.-The San Francis? co Alta, of the 7th instant, mentions the return to that city of Willis and Boyd, who had been sent out to the Arizona diamond fields, and in its next issue soys: "All that any member of the party appears willing to say is summed up in a few words. They went somewhere, sup? posed to bo Arizona. Their reported diamond fields are in a very elevated re? gion, where tho weather is BO cold that they will be prevented from developing the minea during winter. There is more talk aboutant hills and picking out gems with a jack-knife. They hove surveyed 3,OUI) acres of land into tweuty-aore lots, and taken steps to secure a United States patent. They have returned, bringing with them a fresh supply of ocular de? monstrations. They are perfectly satis? fied, and that is enough for tho public to know. Beyond these statements, 'mum's the word.' A secret meeting of tho in? terested parties was held yesterday af? ternoon." The Havana journals report the dis? covery of a conspiracy in the Guisa dis? trict, near Bayamo, saying the Cubans intended to rise, capture and kill those favoring the Spanish cause, and burn their establishments. The Spanish Genoral Menduina had eight of the con? spirators shot and others condemned to imprisonment for life. Fifty of the Cubans are awaiting trial. The cigar makers who were on a strike returned to work to-day, the employers agreeing to the increased rates demanded by tho ?workmen. The difference between the receipts and expenditures of the island is $13.500,000. The Council of tho Ad? ministration under the Presidency of tho Iutondente has resolved to balance the budget without increasing the import of export duties, and meet the whole defi? ciency by local taxation. The principal item of the new taxation will be the im? position of $24 on eaoh slave, which will produoe about $7,000,000. MEXICAN THIEVES IN TEXAS.-The oivil and military authorities at Browns? ville, Texas, made application, through the United States Consul, to General Rooha to arrest somo thieves, who had stolen about eighty head of cattle and driven them across the frontier, within sight of this oily; also to return the oattle and surrender tho thieves for trial. General Rocha immediately despatch? ed a squad of cavalry, who, in company ?vi th Texas police o Ulcers, captured the thieves ond some of the animals. The latter were sont across tho river to-day and restored to their owners. General Rocha has also informed the authorities of Texas that the thieves would bo sur? rendered on a proper demand beiug made. This is the first case of the kiud oc? curring since General Rocha came here, aud Ins oombiet in the matter is regard? ed with satisfaction by all desiring peace ou tho border.

A despatch received by Marshal Wal? lace st ates that at Dom's Mine, Abbeville County, on election day, Jacob Brown, colored, was killed. No particulars as yet. A gentleman called, tho other day, on one of our physicians, who is something of a joker, and said he had the headache, backache, earache and toothache, and, besides, didn't feel very well himself. "I think," said tho doctor, "that you huve an affection io the lumbar region." "Whatcaused it, doctor?" "Badbourd," was the brief reply. By a despatch from Oconee, wo learn that Tomlinson received 1,662 votes in that County, and Moses 346. We havo received the Qc?axy for No? vember, which, as usual, has an excellent table of contents.

The bridge is not sufficiently advanced for the accommoda? tion of travel, but the trestle-work ad? joins the other shore, and we have every reason for believing that the entire work will be finished in a short time. While speaking on this subjeot, we would sug? gest to the Doctor that he have the sides of the superstructure so improved that there could bo no danger of the precipi? tation of either man or beast into the river. To leave the sides open, ns is con? templated in the plan, would exp OE o both pedestrians and equestrians to the danger that we have referred to. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS-COLUM?
