COLUMBIA, 8. C. Friday Morning, Nov. 6, 1874. "Optics sharp it takes, I ween, To see what is not to be seonl" The Uniotu-Herald has a fanny way of viewing the elections elsewhere. It professes to be not at all discouraged by them. Republicans have been de? feated by Democrats, it admits, but denies that it was because of their Re? publicanism. Mischievous personal and looal questions, most unexpected' ly thrust themselves into the canvass in every State, and deoided it in iavor of the Democratic candidates, who si mnltaneonsly and of malice prepense everywhere became the winning men on these questions. Something or other, some unexplained instinot, some rayBteriouB power working amongst them, put them all, from Boston to Now Orleans, upon a line of policy, qb regards looal aud personal questions, that swept them right iuto the places of RepablioauB. The sagacity, prin? ciple, luck or iustiaot which so bene? fited Democrats iu scouring position*, were entirely wauting to tho Republi? cans iu retainiug them. This is un original way of acoonutiog for what is eo saddening to tho Radical hoart all over this couutry, aud about as logical as the argumenta to prove the moon made of green cheese. It hits Repub? licanism a baok-hauded lick, too, which would make it exclaim, if it had a voice or any life left, "Save mo from my friends." Ah, however, it is the sort of spurious Republicanism, other? wise known as Radioaliem, flanked on either side by corruption and maligni? ty, which has given Boast Butler aud such the power to establish satrapies in the Soutb, and disgrace the whole country, we shall not say anything in its defence. It is fanny, again, to read io our luminous Cotemporury, that now the fat's in the fire, those who re? fused to support Republican candi? dates iu tho cuuvusH ju?t passed, will be good boys again, aud uot do so any more. Having settled all the local and '' personal questions by oleeting Demo? crats, they are expeoted to be vigor? ously Republican, or, to put it mildly, go baok to the old vomit. We must also oorreot another mis? take of the Union-Herald. Iu en? deavoring to show that Republican ism, as it calls it, is not hurt, it has ven? tured to say that a Republican has de? feated Butler, of Massachusetts, and so "Republicanism loses nothing by his defeat." Wo read the despatches dif? ferently: "In the Oth District, Thomp? son, Democrat, beats Butler by at least 1,500." It is too soon to herald that Thompson, having goue out as a De? mocrat and defeated the Beast on those peBtiferouB local and personal iBsaes, has got himself back as a I'epablioan, to labor for the party suocesj, pro? vided always there be no more such deranging issues presented. That dodge won't do. Going Back on tlie B?ast. Another point on the Union-Herald, and we will retire. It says of Butler: "He was opposed on the ground of his alleged corrupt professional prac? tices, of his alleged connection with corrupt official action, and of his alleged support of corrupt legislation; and he was defeated." Were these, too, local and porsonal questions? Corrupt as this blear-eyed fellow is, insolent as an imp of the devil, hating, as he docs, everything thai smacks of virtue, uooeuey uuu in? tegrity, despising and seeking to trample down the Southern people, be cause of their honor and charaoter, which Room him and all his devices andorueltios, the Union-Herald thought him, a law weeks ago, the piuk of per? fection, and tho mau wIiobo ferocity would effectuully tame the people of New Orleans. We uro glad now tbut be is falle u iu Massachusetts, aud dis? graced, so thut the eyes of even the Union-HeraUl have been opened and discovered him tobe a filthy bird. "This uncontrollable desire for a change of some kind, it matters not what that ohange might be, has done the work." So sings tho Union upon the ".sur? prise" of tho Northern olectinns. It bojs nothing of those iu Virginia, Ten nessee^Goorgia, Alabama and Louisi? ana. They are rqnally surprising, wo should think. Tho problem to which the Union ought to devote its serui-oc ? caBioual labors to eluoidate, is whut maket>, iu this particular matter, the desire for chaDge so "uncontrollable?" Ccrruptiou, vcuality, bitterness, imbe? cility among the Ridioals uro tho words whose morning tho Union should study and apply. Tho euigma of these elections, like the euigma of our fraud? ulent debt, can easily bo explained by those who have no interested motives to mystify it. Result of teh Elections.?The awakening of the people to tbe reali? ties of the political situation, given by the Ootober elections, aeams to have been of the most rousing character, especially in several oi the States which have beon considered strongholds of the Republicans. The moat notable triumph of the Democracy, perhaps, is in Massachusetts, where seven of eleven members of Congress have been chosen by that party, the present dele? gation being entirely Republican. Among tho warriors placed Jtors du combat in this content, is the re? doubtable Qoueral Benj. F. Butler.. Next comes the Democratic victory in New York, resulting in tho political '?shooting on the spot" of the no less famous General John A. Dir.. Loui? siana astonishes hersolf by tho might? iness of her peaceful victory over the bayonets and ballets of Federal power and State usurpations, and elects to Congress five out of tho six (hitherto Republican) delegates. Tennessee givos 25,000 Djmooratiu majority. From other Statoe there is likewise a general ourront of sentiment exhibited against tho dominant power. Large numbors of colored moo in Louisiana, Alabama, and elsewhere, votod tho Conservative ticket openly. Marshal Packard gave anticipation of defeat in Louisiana, when he sent de? spatches to Wasbingtou from Now Or? leans, complaining that "intimidation" had heavily reduced the Republican vote, in tbe very face of the fact that he has had the army and navy at his back for more than a month past to prevent just saoh a result?to uso them, on the contrary, to intimidate the Con? servatives. -? -**-< "We feel very much as if we had been kicked all the way from Boston to New Orleans."? Union. Do "we," indeed? If "wo" liku tho fooling, "we" can be accommo? dated with kioking all tho way back from New Orleans to Boston. ?-???-? Tub Columbia Seminary.?Tbe Rev. J. O. Liudsuy writes uu interesting letter to the Associate Reformed Pres? byterian, in wbioh he gives a sum? mary of tho arguments for und against the overture of tbo Charles? ton Presbytery, asking tho trans for of the Seminary to tho Synods of South Carolina, Georgia and Ala? bama, who bad it originally in charge. He says: "1'he voto was taken after a threo days excited disoassion, and re? sulted in fifteen for the overture and fifty-nine against it. The opposition to the Seminary mastered its full strength. It was led by the eloquence of Dr. Girardeao, who is highly appre? ciated and profoundly respected throughout our whole State, combined with Dr. Wilson's great personal influ? ence, who made a longer and more animated speech thnn we ever heard from him on tbe subject of Foreign MisBious; and yet with nil this advan? tage it failed, and failed most inglori ously. The brethren were greatly mortified at their defeat. We are heartily sorry for them?their mortifi? cation, not their defeat. The Synod resolved to contribute, as in times past, to tbe support of the Seminary. And we have no doubt that all this opposition will reBult in good to this school for the prophets." . ? - ? . Sudden Death.?Wo are pained to reoord the death of Mr. William Moor head, whioh sad event oocurred at his residence near Concord Church on Sa? turday morning last, after un illness of only a few moments. Tho deceased had always beon in good health, and had attouded tbo Fair on Thursday and Friday. Ou Friday night, he retired to bed feeling as well as usual, and nothing was apprehended until about day break on Saturday morning, when his son noticed that his iathur was about to fall oat of the bed, and he ran and oaught him before he fell, uod moved him back farther. He then alarmed the family, but before they reached him bo had expired. Tho cause of his douth was disease of tho heart. At tho time of his deuth, ho wii3 in his fiftieth yeur. [Anderson Intelligencer. Tue Episcopal Ritual.?The canon of ritual whioh was amended and so reported by tho conference committee in the Qoueral Episcopal Convention, Saturday, and whioh hus been agreed to by both houses, is practically the same canon as originally reported, with the exception that the first two specifi? cations are stricken oat. These omit? ted specifications forbid the uso of in-' oeuBO or oraoifixos during tho celebra? tion of the holy communion. Many members stated that, however much they might disapprove the uso of in? cense ororuoifixes, they could not vote for a canon declaring thut they sym? bolized false dootriue. No Court.? Ou Monday last, Court was called according tq tho formalities, and immediately after adjourned in the same stylo. Judge Curpeotcr is sick in Columbia. We shall liavu no Court now nntil March, if thou. Tho lawyers will have to suspend payment. South Carolina is undoubtedly in a most accursed state of confusion, irre? gularity und uncertainty. I Edgejield Advertiser. Not a drop of rut'u has fallen in the lower peninsular Counties of Virginia for ovor a mouth, und vegetation is suffering in consequence. Thb Election.?The election on Tuesday, brought on* the largest rote through the Couoty that has ever been polled. White and colored came out to & man. There was hea?y election? eering all along the line, and a great deal of party spirit manifested. In Winnaboro, 1,290 voteB were polled, abcufc 850 by th eg whites. The toting progressed quietly until about mid? day, when a crowd of several hundred colured men in the street before the court house began jeering at Wade Motley for voting for Qreeo, and finally began pulling him about. Tbey were ordered to dornet, and failing to do so, Mr. F. C. Oerig, Jr., who was acting constable, went in to the res? cue. A row seemed eminent, when soverul gentlemen got into the crowd to muintain order, and had nearly succeeded iu doing eo, when Jim Milli gau, colored, s'ruck Mr. Gerig, aud was immediately shot by some persou ou the sidewalk. Several otLdi shots were fired, slightly wouudiug Alfred Smith und Burrel Fair, and the crowd scattered. Many colored men rau to? wards tho garriHOu for aid, but re? ceived none. Iu tho meat t me the disturbance had been quelled by the efforts of tho prominent citizens. Thun ended what might have beeu a serious riot. Milligau is seriously but uut mortally wounded. Hud the colored people not interfered with Wadu for votiug for whom he pleased, this un? fortunate occurrence would never have happened. The ofliuial cottut was finished at IIP. M , aud showed a majority of 366 for Cbamberiaiu aud 375 for Wallace. It is said that every white muri in No. 12 cast his vote on Tuesday, aud No. 12 claims the bau ner. Rtdgeway polled ubjut 20U white votes, a large gain. The regular ticket received only 111 majority. Bravo for Ilidgeway. Doko was near a stand off, about 13J ou each side. Youugosville gives 225, Horeb 145 and Mouticello 200 Kadical majority. I Winnaboro Meies. Election Returns.?We tire unable to give a complete return uf the elec? tion ou Tuesday last, us tnauy of the precincts uro not yet heard from. B.? low will be found an aggroga'e state? ment of the vote each candidate re? ceived at the following products, to wit: Anderson Gonrt Hou?e, Milford's. Ball's Mill, Saudy Spring-, Fork, Greenwood, Ceutreville, Beltou, Duk Corner, Craytonvilte, Williford'sStore aud Williamstou. It will be seen that tho majority for Greeu is 58*3 iu this Couuty, which will bo increased con? siderably by the returns from other precincts, aud may bo safely estimated at not less than 7U0 in this Couuty. MeGowau's majority over H?ge is now 797, and will be increased to 000. The figures indicate the successful candi? dates, without further recapitulation: For Governor?John T. Green, 1,906; D. H. Cbamberiaiu, 1,323. For Lieutenant-Governor?M. R. Delanv, 1,581; U. H. Gleaves, 1,192. For Con? gress?Samuel McGowau, 2,011; S. L>. H?ge, 1,214. For the Senate?John R. Oocbran, 1,926; John B. Moore, 1,241. For House of Representatives ?H, R. Vandiver, 1,599; James L. Orr, 1,579; R. W. Simpson, 1,052. The precincts not included in the above count are Brushy Croek, Cal houn, Bethany, Holland's S.ore, Pen dleton, Houea Path and Long's Shop. It is thought probable that the feooe law has boon carried by a small ma? jority. ?A nderson Intelligencer. Homicide.?Ou Friday evening last, as Mr. Wm. Martin and Stephen Cbas tain, Jr., wer? on their way home from this plact-, the intter, after coming to the road that turned in the direction of his house, volunteered to go home with Martin, as he was somewhat un? der the influence of liquor, '"hey pro oeedod on together quietly, i ntil near the residence of Mr. MoLesky, whou Martin dropped his bat iu the road and began looking for it. After find? ing it, he drew his pistol, und said to Chastain: -'Yon called me a d?u liar, and I am going to shoot you." Chas? tain said to him: "Bill, put up your pistol." Martin then tired, the ball striking Chastain in tho loft breast, and passing through the upper lobe of the left lung aud lodging. Chastain then fell, and Martin fled. He died ou Monday ut 1 o'clock P. M. Murtin is still at large, but bis arrest will soon bu made.?Anderson Intelligencer. The Election.?The election iu this Couuty passed off vory quietly, 1 and without any undue excitement by either politioal party. The total vote is 4,679, being 373 votes larger than the vote of 1870, which was 4,306, aud is 907 votes larger than tho vote of 1872, which was 3,772. Siucu tho election of 1872, aooording to the re? turns before us, tho whites buve gained 412 in numbers, aud tho blacks 495. Acoordiog to the returns, Chamber laiu's majority is 513, and the majority of Wallace over Kurshaw is 575. The Republican nominations for tho Le? gislature aud County oftioers are elect? ed. ?

A Smuggler's Nabrative.???'We ?hall be, my dear madam." said I to a fellow passenger ia the Dieppe boat, taking oat my watch, bat keeping my eye steadily upon her, "we Bhali be in less than ten minntes at the Custom HouBe." A spasm?a dicker from the guilt within?glanced from her com - J tenacee. "You look very good natured, sir," stammered she. I bowed, and looked considerably more BO to invite her confidence "If I was to tell you a secret, which is too much for me to keep myself, oh! would you keep i" inviolable?" "I know it my dear mudum; I know it already," said I, smiling; "it is luce, is it not?" She uttered a little shriek, and?yes, she had got it there umong the criuo line. She thought it had been stick? ing out, you see, unknown to her. "Oh, sir," cried she, "'it is only ten pounds' worth; please to forgive me. and I'll never do it ngaic. As it is, I think I shall expire." "My deur madam," replied I, sternly, but kindly, "here is the pier, nud the officer has fixed his eye upon U9. i must do ray duty." I rushed up the ladder like a lamp? lighter. I poiuted out the woman ton legitimate authority. I accompanied her upon her way in custody la the searching house. I did uot see her searched, but I saw what wus found upou her, aud I saw her fined uud dis missed with ignominy. Then, having giveu up my emoluments as informer to the subordinate official!?, I hurried off in Beurch of the betrayed woman to her hotel. I gavo her lace twice the value of that she lust, paid her fiue aud explained. "You, niadanie, Lad ?10 worth of smuggled goods about your person; I hud nearly fifty times that amount. 1 turned informer, madaine, let me con? vince you, for the sake of b:>th of us. You have too expressive a counte? nance, believe me, au'd tho officer would have found you out at nil events, even as I did myself. Are you satis? fied, my dear madame.? If you still feel aggrieved by ino in any way, pray taku more luce; here is lots of it." When I finished my explanation the lady seemed perfectly satisfied with my little stroke of diplomacy, though she would have doubtless preferred a little le'-s prominent part in it. Serious Riot?Several Killed and Many Wounded ?The electiou ut h'u fanU, Ala., progressed peacefully until 12 M., when the negroes attempted to rescue a prisoner from the custody of tho Deputy Sheriff. A general riot oc? curred, aud several whites aud blacks were wounded und some killed. Mar? shal Willford was with one of tbe pro? minent citizens just before the riot began, and sent him to prevent it. The negroes ran over him, and fired the first shot. The disturbance was quite sanguinary. Six whites were wounded ? one of them, William Keith, mor? tally. Three negroes were killed out? right, aud as far as beard from seven? ty-four were wounded?ten or fifteen of the number mortally. Since the fight, five have died and three or four more will die. Tho difficulty grew out of the abuse of a negro who had votod tbe Demooratio ticket by several Kadi oal negroes, chief among whom was one very bad negro, Milus Long. Seve? ral gentlemen rushed up when they saw the abiisu bel?g b??p?u upon ths Demooratio negro, and when ne had received several blows, they rushed in and ordered the mob to desist. Milas Long offered to draw a pistol on one of the whites, when he was told uot to draw a weapon there, as he would be killed. With an oath against, the whites, and daring them to come on, he drew oat his pistol and fired. In an iudant a general fire from both whites and blacks commenced, which the latter stood for a second or two. and then gave way in oue of the wild? est stampedes ever witnessed. There were probably 500 shots fired by both sides, a majority of thorn being fired by the whites. The negroes came in from the country armed with pistols, heavy clubs, wheel spokes, etc. They were very uggreaaive upon those of their color who voted the Democratic ticket. For a few secouds after the firing ceased the negroes began to muss for . renewal of the fight, but seeing that ihe whites wero arming to receive the o they again scattered, ami quiet was soon restored. Fruitful California, tho land of fiue wheat, and "old rye," and oranges, figs,|big pears aud olives, ami of the fat cattle on a tbousuud hills, aod of the big trees of M iriposu and Calave ras, and of tho wonders of tho Yoae mite Valley, and of the premium griz? zlies aud sea lions, is yet, of all lauds, the premium land for the vine and grupo juioe. For instance, tho wine crop iu a single County (Naps) this year is estimated at 1,000,000 gallons, or nearly two gallons of gcuuiuo wiue for every inhabitant of tho State.

Frequently medicines that will stop a cough will ocoaeion the death of the patient; they look up the liver, stop the circulation of the blood, he? morrhage follows, und, in fact, they clog the action of the very organs that caused tho cough. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are tho causes of two-thirds of tho cases of Consumption. Many persons com? plain of a dull pain in the side, consti? pation, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder-blade, feelings of drowsiness and restlessness, the food lying heavily on tbo stomach, accompanied with acidity and belching up - of wind. These symptoms usually originate from a disordered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver. Persons so affected, if they take one or two heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases be suddenly cheoked, will find the stomach aud liver clogged, remaining torpid and inactive, and al? most before they are aware, the lungs are a masB of sores and ulcerated, the result of which is death. Scheock's Pulmonio Syrop is an ex? pectorant, whioh does not contain opium or anything calculated to check u cough suddenly. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonio diBsolveq the food, mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach, aids digestion and creates a ravenous appetite. When the bowels are oostive, skia sallow or the symptoms otherwise of a bilious tendency, Schenck's Mandrake Pills are required. These medicines are prepared only by J. H. Schexok & Son, N. E. corner Sixth and Aroh streets, Philadelphia, and are for sale by nil druggists and dealers. Oct llf 13 Malaria Everywhere.?Rarely has there been a eeason as fruitful as this of malarious diseases. Not only on the prairies and in the valleys of the j West; not merely in all the old haunts of fever and ague aud bilious remit? tent fever have these prostrating dis? eases been unusually virulent; bat tfj^v have extended to towns and cities never before infested with them, and have even ascended the mountains and attacked thousands of people supposed to have been plaoed by tbe laws of na? ture above their reach. Hence we are compelled to admit that a fatal ele? ment pervades the universal air this season, and should at onoe resort to the ouiy approved preventive oi it* [ consequences, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a tonio so potent, an antiseptic bo perfeot, on alterative so irresistible, and a stimulant so pare, that it enables the human system to resist and baffle all the predisposing causes oi disease. With the oonfidenoe that one clothed in incombustible garments might move among blazing buildings, the man who arms himself against malaria with this powerful defensive medicine may walk a fever-scourged district fearless of its insalubrious atmosphere. The intermittents and remittents, at pre? sent bo general in all parts of the country, may be but the fore-runners of a deadlier sooarge. Prepare the system with Hostetter's Bitters for a successful battle with the mephitic causes of all epidemics. Be wiso in time. All the disorders common to the season may be held in abeyance by this potent antidote. They may also bo ejected from the system, after they have mado a lodgment there, by its persevering use. It is, therefore, mo? ral insanity for any family to be with? out it. NlflJL Business Necessities.?In these days of progress, most enterprising firms uso ovory means of patting their names before their customers. Ia no way can this be more conveniently and attractively done than by using Printed Letter Headings and Bill Heads. They have come into such general use by Merchants, that one seems old fashioned who does not nse the ft, and the oustom'shoold be generally uu-pted by the Country Merchants.
