'; Qrcoioy Defeated.
Tho election returns indicate that Mr.
Greeley has been badly beaten; so wc
may as well prepare for another fonr
years of Grantism. Many reasons are
assigned for this crushing defeat, bat
the most reasonable one is the immense
leTerage,,in the shape of a lavish ex?
penditure of money, patronage and offi?
cial position, which tho present dynasty
was enabled to ose.
A TUrce-fold Cord.
In a brief artiole in yesterday's issue,
wet insisted upon the maintenance of
proper self-respeot cn the part of onr
people, notwithstanding the wretched
political condition to which they have
been reduced, and the little rational
hope of early deliverance from it. It is,
indeed, small when we look npou the
mass of ignorance and prejudice be
clouding the land, with the scum of all
the earth floating upon the surface, and
exhaling their fonl and fetid odors far
and wide,. But still it does not become
a brave and honorable people,' on the
one haud, to pine and long for vanished
good, nor,' on the other, to give way to
unmanly and pitiful forebodings. We
Rave a glorious"past]" let as"cherish and
honor it. We.have with as an ugly pre?
sent, and before us an nncertain future?
bfoek, perhaps, with unimagined hor
rora?but lei as resolve, in tho strength
of oar naanhood, and in unshaken faith
in tho ?ivwr of all Good, to make both
bright with go od deeds andwise thoughts,
strong with brave and beneficent pur?
poses, and tolerable and agroeablo even
by sturdy patienoe and anfliuchiog for?
titude,.
W? jtee btrf Jaint prospeot of any
ohange for'the better in oar political
condition in Boath Carolina, for uu in?
definite time to come, unless, perehance,
the election of a good man to the
Presidency should open up a oourse of
measures, or ft train of circumstances,
which may possibly, by and by, bring
ns relief. The Badioal asoendanoy here
is as oomplete and fixed as a stereotyped
overwhelming majority can make it. It
is a strnoiuro essentially of the earth,
earthy, and mast, in the natare of things,
ultimately rot and give way; For tho
present, however, it rests securely upon
the broad) foundations' of stolid igno?
rance, prejrtdiab and 111 will, well nigh
universal and-bittev as gall, and villainy
unparalleled! in history, fomenting for
its base ends all the animosities of war,
race,,color and condition, and fanning
and keeping alive all the diversities of
tastes, sentiments, traditions and hopes.
What can take ns out of such a mire us
this? Nothing of the class of political
agencies. It is idle to talk about them.
We but,beat the air in resorting to any
snob remedy, or iu hoping anything
from it. What aro we to do, then?
"Lie supinely upon onr backe, aud hug
the delusive phantom of hope?" By no
means. Let ns throw politics, as well
?a nther saoh nauseous "physio," to the
dogs. There are other fields of activity
better saited to onr condition, and far
more promising of satisfactory results.
And we can work in them with a will.
Tho energies which oar people have
wasted in hopeless political contests
might be mach more profitably expended
in improving their agriculture, in culti?
vating the mechanical arts, iu develop?
ing and building up manufacturing in?
terests, so mach needed, so inviting, and
so full of promise; and, last but not
least, in the faithful discharge of that
prime dnty which we owe to the young,
in bestowing npon them the most com?
plete, thorough, and, at tho sarao time,
practical and even technical education,
which can possibly be procurod. A
dozen yoars ago, we had schools in this
State presided over by scholars distin?
guished for Earning, hkill, zeal aud ex?
perience. We have some still, but they
are sadly reduced in numbers and crip?
pled in efficiency. Wo had then a col?
lege filled with students, whoso youthful
baoyanoy and elastic spirits were finely
tempered, and diroctcd by tho love of
study, the ardor of applicntiou, tho
thirst for knowledge, and tho ambition
ef excellence. College and schools hap?
pily seconded enoh other'?} efforts, and
tho professors in the one and masters in
the others co-operated harmoniously in
giving the most polished Bhapo to tho
precious material committed to their
care. Boys, teachers, stadents and pro?
fessors all were studious, all laborious.
A solid and a finished eduoation, imply?
ing and including not only book learning,
bnt refined manners, oonsiderato eelf-re
speotaad sclf-dcnia!, a high sense of ho?
nor and love of duty, was then attainable,
and in point of fact, wub a common attain?
ment. In those haloyon days, men were
bred and trained in scholarship; they were
steeped to the lips in literaturo and
soience; thoy were thoroughly indoctri
?ftted in philosophy*?W* woe!* gladly
see euch a spirit rovivod, and similar
efforts pat forth both by individuals and
by societies. It is worthy the ambition
of the Agricultural sud -M?ohani?al Bo*
oiety, now holding itu fair and its ses?
sions in this city, to set the example of
an honest, genuine effort in behalf of
the education of onr young people,
many, nay, most of whom, are growing
np in gross ignoranoe, and indulging in
shameful vices. A Bohool of agriculture
and all ita affiliated branoh.ee is a publio
necessity somewhere near the centre of
the State. One npon the plan of that at
Hofwyl, in Switzerland, or Olamevin,
near Dublin, or-, in Germany,
I would, we believe, be a great public
I blessing, and prove a decided success.
Every parent, at least, ought to recog?
nize the crying want whioh we havo
characterized, and earnestly seek to give
his offspring that ooltnre which befits
his station and their prospeots. It is
equally incumbent upon him to afford
them the practical, technical instruction,
the speoial preparation salted to their
several aptitudes, whioh will qualify
them for saeceBs in business. And in
I these demoralized days, let him not for*
get all proper moral restraints, and tho
formation of appropriate habits. Wise
was the warning of an ancient writer
whon he said: "Lot nothing foul in
word, or to sight, touoh the portals
within whioh a boy is to be found."
It was our purpose to say something
more, in this connection, of the great
manufacturing interest. Bat we must
bo brief. It is gratifying to know that
the people of the Sooth are not in?
sensible to its importance. The per
oentago of home manufactures is steadily
growing. Its profits are attracting capi?
tal, practical intelligence and skilled
labor to the South. 120,000 bales cot?
ton were consumed by Southern mills
last while the year before 91.000
were used; and in '68-69, only 80,000.
This shows an increase in the cotton
taken by Southern mills from 8)3 to 10>
per oent. of tho total consumption.
The increoso in cotton consumption in
the United States for the last four years
has been three times us rapid South as iu
the North. Our people are upon tho
right track in making and manufactur?
ing cotton, and will thereby reap a
double harvest. This, then, wo would
say: Look not to politics, uor to politi?
cal expedients so exclusively. Let ns
dovote our euergies, ovon more closely
than heretofore, to the great pursuits of
education, ngrioulture and manufac?
tures. They will make a triplo cord,
which oaunot easily be broken, and to
which the anchor of an ouduriug pros?
perity may be securely aud immovably
attaphod.
White Lahor in the South.?The
popular fallacy that white laborers cau
not endure the heat of tho cotton,
sugar and rice plantations of tho South,
is exploded by the New Orleans Picayuns,
which says that white laborers nro work?
ing iu tho fields all over the State of
Louisiana, tho year round, us low down
as tide wator, from tho Gulf of Mexico,
aud on the islauds along the Gulf shore.
Aad these laborers nre not more sickly
than colored men, or man who stay in
tho shade.

B. Jktkb, Ehq t Bkwkykd to dk Ewtcr
sd.?From a reliable gentleman, who
arrived in this city yesterday, wo learn
of some high-handed measures which
were resorted to by a petty United
States official, Marshal Mahoney, who
went np from Newberry, aooompanied
by a squad of eoldiera and thirty-six ne?
groes, and visited the preoinot at Gooben
Hill. ' Tbo supervisors of election do
oliued to allow the negroes to vote, but
Mahoney swore they " should vote, und
vote thoy did. II? also compelled nearly
all the o >lored voters at that precinct to
vote for Byron. Haviug accomplished
hia object at Goshen Hill, he left four or
five soldiers there, and proceeded to
Santac, where the eomo measures wore
resorted to. Tho illegal plane of these
Radionls have all come to grief, however;
for all accounts confirm the eleotiou of
Mr. Jeter by a handsome cnujority. With
Byas and Mobley out of the Legislature,
we may hope for something better from
that body. A correspondent in Uuion
famishes the following:
Fiuend SeijBv;: Probably you would
liko to know how the election passed ofi'
to-day. In tho first place, there is no
doubt that T. B. Joter is olected Senator
by at least GOO votes. Juno Mnuiey und
H. H. D. Byron, United States Commis?
sioner, both Rtdical Republicans, were
his opponents. Juno nominated himself
at tho convention held hero fortbat pur?
pose, or, I should Hay. being the County
Chairman, bo presided at the County
Convention, and after tho nominations
were made iu tbo convention, he put the
question: "Those in favor of Juno S.
Mobley being the candidate for Senator,
say aye." Of course, nearly all the
negroes said "I"?thoy always do that.
He then said: "Those opposed, say uo."
Of course, the "nos" were as numerous
as the "I*a.M Mobley then announced
that tho "IV bad it, and Mobley was
nominated. This shut out auy other
candidate. This self-nomiuation did
not go down pleasantly with friends of
other aspirants, and so they "trotted"
out what they considered the nest beat
nag, as au independent candidate, which
was Mr. Byron, who is a carpet-bagger.
Juno was taken sick and could not can?
vass tbo County, ho bis Republican oppo?
nent had it nearly all his own way. At
Santuo and Goshen Hill, tho two strong?
est Republican boxes in tbo Couuty, it
was given out thnt Juno had withdrawn
from the race iu favor of Byron, and tho
result W;is Byron received nearly all the
Republican votes at those boxes. Be?
tween those two it was diamond cut
diamond. From tho first neither of
them expected to beat Jeter, for he is
undoubtedly one of the very bent men
iu tbo State, and cau carry more colored
votes tbau auy man in tho up-country.
I think, from what I cau learn, that a
full vote has beeu cast iu this County.
Those who did not vote at the lust elec?
tion now sco the folly of such a course,
and hove determined never to do ho
again. A large number of Democrats
voted for Grant, while tbo negroes voted
solid for him. Tho delegation from
Uniou to the Legislature is now the
strongest of any in tho State, nud we are
proud of our viotory. Even the colored
Representative, John Wallace, is a man
of more than ordinary intelligence
among his race. You may put down
Uuion hereafter as sure for tho Con?
servative ticket. The election passed off
without a : ingle disturbance.
Another correspondent writes:
Mn. Editor: Union Couuty, with its
colored majority of GOO. on Monday,
elected Ti 6. Jeter, conservative Demo
etat, by from 300 to 500 majority. 1,140
votes were polled at Union C. H.?700
colored, -110 whites; Moblcy's majority
28. The country boxes will surely give
Jeter a mujority nothing leas than 300,
and ninybe 500, majority. So much for
Mr. Bonsai's report to the Republican
Committee, through the Union, that
this County wat safe for n Republican
Senate r.
Senator Corwiu, from Newheriy, np
peared horo last Subbath, and Marshal
Malouey, with his batnl of colored
troops iu blue, nnd Deputy Carpenter's,
did no good. There was soruo intimida?
tion of white voters across tho Pticolct
River. Thanks to 200 or 300 colored
men. They did thoir duty, nud if left
untonohed by tho Radical -bailot-box
manipulators, they would all soon be
right for honest government.
Thero waB a tight raco in tho Counly
between ? Greelcy and Grant, but we
think Grceloy will carrv by a small ma?
jority. PRO BONO PULL1CO.

Ileury Pehoof was stabbed and killed by
Montgomery Bishop. Tho murder oc?

affair are briefly these: Mr. Pehoof was
at the camp of a wagoner, who had
stoppod in front of bin house, and while
there, Montgomery Bishop, with two
others, enmo down the road and stopped
at tho camp. Bishop was drunk. He
struck a little grand-sou of Pehoof'u,
who was prosent, und threatened him
with further violence, when Mr. Pehoof
did or said somothing which caused
Bishop to stab him in the loft breust, of
which ho diod iu a few minutes. Mr.
Pehoof was about sixty years of ago, an
honest, industrious and highly respcoted
citizou. Bishop mado his escape, nud is

Rural Beauties and City Belles.?
Couutry girls aro not a whit behind their
metropolitan sisters in tho natural ele?
ments of loveliness, but it must bo con?
ceded that the city belles best understand
tho ntt of preserving and heightening
their personal beauty. The most per?
fect features lose half .their attraction
nnless the complexion is properly cared
for, and if the pretty girls of the rural
pistriots wish to compete with the "Fair
Stars" of the fashionable world iu re?
fined attractions, they must pay due at?
tention to this important point. They
ought to know, for the faot is notorious,
that Haqan's Magnolia Balm imports to
the skin a dolioate, pearly appearance,
unprodiiooable by any other preparation
under the son. No matter how the cu
tiole may have been roughened by ex
Itosnro or disoolored by tho sun, the
Jilca render it ?oft nod pliable., and
removes cvory blomish.
