Tim Liberal Movement.
The Presidential campaign is at its
close. It' has been a very spirited, ear- j
nfest and bitter canvass, bat perhaps not
more bo than many of its predecessors.
The Liberal movement has manifested a
degree of vitality and progressive power
sufficient, at least, to strike terror to the
hearts of the opposition. What the
final result may bo, on Tuesday, we can?
not tell, and will not attempt confidently
to predict. Wo entertain a hope based,
we think, on very reasonable grounds,
that Mr. Greeley will bo elected. It de?
pends entirely, in onr judgment, upon
the firmness and morale of the conserva?
tive forces which have combined to push
forward tho Liberal movement. The
heavy majority for Hartranft in Penn?
sylvania must prove discouraging, de?
spite the fact no plainly manifested that
innumerable frauds were perpetrated.
That Philadelphia, with bat little more
than two-thirds tho inhabitants of New
York city, should register nearly a
fourth more voters, is proof enough of
the illicit means by which Hartrauft's
majority waB stolen. It is undeniable,
however, that the defeat of Buckalew,
npon whose election the friends of the
Liberal movement oounted bo surely,
has caused wide-spread depression and
donbt through their ranks. If they
have the intelligence properly to appro
oiate the Bitnation?to bso tho advan?
tages whioh they have, and bravely
withstand a temporary and trifling de
feat?the ohanoes are that the day will
still be onrs. Pennsylvania is not in the
least degree essential to the success of
the Liberal oaase. It is a strong point
to be gained, unquestionably. Its loss
would have utterly disoomfited the Ad?
ministration forceH, bat it in not of the |
same importance to Greeley. The re?
pulse there is discouraging, bat the po?
sition itself shoald not practically affect
the integrity of the Liberal linos.
If we make a bold and manly fight,
and bring out the fall Deoionralin vote,
we are sure to curry Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Iadiaua, Missouri and California, which
are amply sufficient and more to place
Mr. Greeloy in the Presidential chair.
If it were not for the corrupt use of tho
money, the military and the patron age
of the Government by Grant, to a de?
gree hitherto undreamed-of iu the his?
tory of the ooantry, he woald not stand
a ghost of a chance. Bat evea should
Mr. Greeley be defeated, the Liberal
party will not be disbanded, nor its
principles surrendered. A party with
suoh men as Greeley, Trumball, Su in?
ner, Wells, Schurz and the other distin?
guished Liberal Republicans associated
with them, tho flowers of tho old Repub?
lican party, backed by all tho able and
patriotio Democrats iu the laud, is not
an ephemeral pr. wer. It has a mission
to perform, too, far nobler, far more pa?
triotic, than any other party which has
yet lived, and that is the reconciliation
of tho Uuion, ooupled with the graud
old Democratic doctrine of decentraliza?
tion, which must commend it fiually to
the confidence and tho support of u
largo majority of tho American people.
Grant is ruuniug now upon tbo strength
of his personal popularity, tho blind
veneration with which many of the
Northern people regard him becauso of
his military career, and the irradicablo
sectional animosity which tho Yuukeo
proper still entertains towards tho South.
The Grantitea have no political princi?
ples to uphold, no issues upon which to
go before tho country, except Graut.
Iu him rests all their doctrines, and for
his sake alono they oxpoot popular sup?
port. When Grant's political career is
ended?whioh, iu tho naturo of things,
cannot possibly last longer than four
years moro?his party must bo disband?
ed, for thoro will be nothing to hold it
together. Then, even should it fail in
carrying a majority of tho eleotoral voto
on Tuesday, the Liberal party is bound
to rule the country, until in timo it shall
have fulfilled its mission, and, liko tho
Radical party of to-day, grown corrupt
throngh the long enjoyment of power.

A Monopoly_Uown wttU Jlonupolk?!
Mb. Editok: We are frequently de?
terred from pursuing that which is in
keeping with right in the abstract, by
the inferenoe of tho public that some
personal end is aimed at, where the
soreness of disappointment deprives ns
of the faculty of discrimination. Such
a sentiment is not the power that urges
us to raise our voicea with indignant
protests against tho high-handed course
of the Secretary of tho State Agricul?
tural Association with roforenoo to tho
renting of tho booths iu the Fair
Grounds. We would not sully the co?
lumns of your valuable paper, did not a
higher inspiration than that engendered
by personal loss urge us to cry aloud
with Bolemn misgivings at the unauthor?
ized course of tho Secretary, who, with?
out consultation with the members of
the Executive Committee, in violation of
the rules governing erery corporate
body, especially one in which all of the
citizens have an interest; encourages a
monopoly, under oiroumBtanoes aggra?
vating in the extreme, to those possessed
of booths in the grounds ereoted last
year, and detrimental in every particular
to the true interests of tho institution,
inasmuch as it shows a spirit which men
of Mr. Seoretary Aiken's prominence
wore too prono to arrogate to themselves
beforo the war?the spirit of contempt
for a poor man's privileges and au utter
disregard of a freeman's rights. We aro
not domocrntio enough yet. nor will we
ever be until certain individuals aro
tnught to respect the rights of the com?
munity among whom they stalk, tho do
generate skeletons of a broken-down
aristocracy and of purse-proud monopo?
lizers. Your leudors, Mr. Editor, aro
not awaro that the Secretary of tho so?
ciety above designated has sold the ex?
clusive privilege of erecting liquor booths
in the Fuir Grounds, during the coming
fair, to au individual, for tho insignifi?
cant sum of $200; and so anxiously has
this mouopoly been watched, that certain
I parties were denied tho privilege of
[ erecting a booth, on the race^oourso, bo
j cause "it was too near the track," when
it is wall known that one of tho monopo?
lizers was erecting a bar-room immedi?
ately under the judge's stand, just on tho
boundary Hue of the course. What a
atato of things, when men to tho man?
ner born should hustle away from their
property brotherCaroliniansl And why?
because they are poor menl
All of our poor friends in this vicinity
aro urged, if they wish to gain premi?
ums, to attach high-sounding titles to
thoir cards of exhibition. An anecdote,
apropos: One of our most deserving
fellow-citizens, whoso calling, though
honest, was not in keeping with tho dig?
nity of certain high fouotionarios, sent a
blooded horse to the fair. It was, be?
yond all cavil, tho most superb animal
on the grounds. It's owner's avocation,
and bis plebiau name, lost tho prize.
The following year he again entered the
animal, prefixing to his own name the
title of "Colonel." Tho horse took tho
first premium.
Ouo question, and wo loavo the matter
with the public. Would it not bo con?
sulting tho interests of the people who
havo the matter at heart, if the citizens
generally were not excluded from bid?
ding on tho leasing of tho Fair Grounds,
wbioh now are lot for a petty sum, utter?
ly shameful iu tho gentlemen having this
arrangement uudor their control?

Another Holocaust at Ska.?-Tho
burning of the Bicnvillo, which has been
chronicled so lately, has now its sistoi
horror iu tho news which comes to us
from Koy West of tho destruction by
firo of tho Atlantic Mail Company's
steamer Missouri off Abaco, Bahamas,
in a gale of wind. Wo can calculate the
extout of tho disaster by tho appalling
number of lives sacrificed and tho
amount of valuable property destroyed.
Out of eighty-eight souls, but twelve nro
roportod saved, leaving a list of suvouty
six to be added to tho dismal catalogue
of victims of tho flames or tho waves
which has had such plentiful additions
of lato. This list includes all the of?
ficers. Tho Missouri sailed from Now
York on tho 17th Ootober. The firo was
discovered in tho pantry at 9 A. M.?an
hour when ovorybody on board tho
doomod steamer was astir.
Tue Coming Ox.?When, iu the first
days of the horse diseaso, it was pro
posed that oxen should be brought into
the city to supply the place of the dead ,
and dying horses, no one, probably,
imagined that! the proposal would be
seriously adopted. Nevertheless, bo
great has been the interruption of bnsi*
ness in consequeuco of the dearth of
horses, that oxen have already made
their appearance, chiefly in connection
with market wagons, while it is under?
stood tbat largo numbers of draymen
have sunt into the oouutry iu search of
teams of oxen, wherewith to resume
their interrupted occupation. It is thuB
possible that, should the borse disease
prevail for uny length of time, tho ox
would become as familiar a feature of
our streets as the horse hits been; and it
in by no means certain that lid would not
win as high a place in our respect and
affection.
The ox is undoubtedly a slow and me?
thodical beast. He lucks tho fiery en?
ergy of the horse, aud is ill-adapted to
meet the views of the cabman or hearse
driver of racing proclivities. Tho omni?
bus driver who wields tho ox-goad in?
stead of the horse-whip would find it
difficult to iustigate his team to tho play?
ful joke of carrying away the wheels of
obnoxious carriages; aud tho wild
butohor boy could not amuso himself
with driving his two-wheeled ox-cart
over the toes of neur-Biglited old gontle1
men. Tho ox being, moreover, a prosai?
cally sure-footed beaBt, would fail to
gratify that numerous part of the aom
j muuity whoso apparent occupation it is
to wutch tho struggles of horses who
j have f?llen on tho Broadway pavement.
Certainly tho ox would bo a failure if be
wero expected to lend his aid to fast
driving, or tu any other recognized form
of popular amusement. He has, how?
ever, certain well-understood virtues
which might more than compensate for
the 8hort-oomiugs just imputed to him.
For example, he is the most placid und
peaceful of boasts. Not even tho ma?
lignant ingenuity of the smull boy has
yet devised a plan to irritate him iuto
running away. Broadway might be
orowded with tho frequent ox, but tho
spectacle of a run away team, now an
every day sight, would uever bo offered.
The thoughtful ox, when tethered at the
curb-stone, aud wrapt in meditation
upon the meadows of his rural youth,
might sometimes abstractedly lunch upon
the brilliant skirt of a passing lady, or,
dreamily tossing his huge head, hint his
presence with unintentional horn to the
lounging policeman; but in neither case
would his conduct doservo imliguaut
censuro. His work would undoubtadly
bo porformod with the utmost slowness
and deliberation, but it would never be
shirked under the weak pretonso of
"staggers," us is tho reprehensible habit
of tho vicious horse, while his very slow?
ness would reaommend him to those ex?
press companies whose dolight it is to
delay as long as possible- the delivery of
truuks entrusted to their care, it is
possible, too, that his habitual delibera?
tion and persistent practice of way-sido
meditation might exert a wholesome in?
fluence upon our over-worked business
men, and lead them, by tho force of ex?
ample, into oasier aud healthier habits
of life. The ox has undoubtedly been
eadly unappreciated by our citizens, and
inasmuch as to know bim is to respect
him, and to rccoguizo his solid virtues
may very possibly prove tho first 6tep to
their imitation, it will perhaps bo a sub?
stantial gain to tho metropolis should tho
ox take up bis permanent residence
among us.?jYete York Times.
The bayonet law is not dead, bat
sleepeth. Nothwithstanding tho rofusal
of CoDgruss to ooutiuuo the President in
tho possession of nil liia coveted powers,
( ten. Grant is taking measures to show
his independenco of legislative control,
and his dotermination to secure a re?
election, legally or illegally. With this
eud in view, he has sent troops, during
the past few days, to certain portions of
Georgia, Louisiana and Alabama, to
overawe and intimidate the Conservative
voters of those States. The alleged ex?
cuse for this unparalleled act is the pre?
tence that disturbances are threatened in
those regions, at the coming Presiden?
tial election. Tho realreasou, of course,
is that there is a prospect of an immense
Democratic majority in Alabama nud
Louisiana, us well as Georgia, and the
Presideut wishes to overcome Ibis ma?
jority, by tho only menus within his
power. Tho result of the Georgia elec?
tion showed plainly the overwhelming
Liberal scutimeut which prevails
throughout tho South, aud which, if
permitted fair expression, would be pro?
nounced iu favor of Greeley and Brown
with entire unanimity. Tho importance
of stifling this soutiaient has very natu?
rally suggested itself to our peuoeablo
President, aud his first recourse is, as
usual, to troops aud bayonets. It makes
no difference to him what the law is or
is not. Georgia throatons to "disturb"
bis Presidential permanency, aud is,
consequently, invaded by a posse of sol?
diers. Alabama and Louisiana, for simi?
lar offences, Buffers similar pains aud pe?
nalties. Let tho remaining Southern
States bo wiso in timo.?Boston Post.

Obnament to Augusta and am Ho son to
the Agents.?The Augusta Clironicle
and Sentinel says:
In few departments of the trade of
this oity has the progress of t'ovJop
mont and expansion been more striking
than iu the ewing machine business.
Particularly couspiuuous iu bringing this
branch of trade to its prosent magnitude
have boeu the agents of the Wheeler &
Wilson Sowing Machine Company, the
pioneers in tho introduction of the in*
stullmeut plan here, through which end
tho universally conceded merits of their
popular family machine, thousands of
these machines have been sold in the
oity and the contiguous agricultural dis?
tricts, for the country housewife bos not
been slow to understand and appreciate
the groat saving of labor and improved
needle-work secured by the possession of
one of these maohiues.
At the beginning of the present busi?
ness season, Messrs. Pursley & Trump,
I the energetic and ever courteous agents
of the Wheeler & Wilson Company in
Augusta, Unding that their large and
constantly increasing trade demanded
increased store-room, alike for the ac?

visitors pouring into their sales-rooms,
and to enable them to keep on hand a

In this chango, they have secured one

being 200 feet by 35 feet wide, in fit?

gentlemen have been guided by a highly
cultivated taute and a liberality of ex?
penditure for the reception end enter?
tainment of their visitors worthy of spe

pointments of furniture and fixtures have

room, from which all orders are prompt?

Pernicious Pcroativks.?Tho bril?
liant idea of half a century ago that the
weak and ailing could bo bled, blistered
and salivated into a condition of health
and vigor is happily exploded; but vio?
lent and prolonged purgation is still,
to souio extent, in vogue. Wo have im?
postors who are daring enough to oiler
to the world, as tonics and restoratives,
the most destructive cathartics, unmodi?
fied by a single stimulating, soothing or
restorative element. Compare the ope?
ration of ono of these terrible nostrums
with that of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
in which ere oombiued tho three great
curative elements?a tonic, an alterative
and an aporient. Tho former completely
paralyzes the vital forces, so that nature
can mako no resistance to disease; the
latter sustains tho strength of tho pa?
tient, while it restores tho suspended
functions of the secretory organs and re?
lieves tho bowels without violence or
pain. It is simply a choice between re?
storative and prostration. N3f3+1
