From all quarters of the State comes I the cheering intelligence that, the Dem- j j ocratic hosts are marshalling for victory- ^ Wherever our canvassers have appeared, . they have beeu received with the most j boundless enthusiasm. Whether among the mountains of the up-country, or the ^ cypress flats of the coast?everywhere j the same spirit prevails, and that is a j determination not to elect the State j ticket alone, but to roll up such majori- ^ ties in the counties as will forever dis fj pel the idea that Kadicalism retains any foothold in South Carolina. Governor P Hampton, having in a largo meKsure re- j covered his strength, has takeu tho! c stump, and proposes to labor earnestly j tj until the close of tho campaign for the ' ^ success of the several county tickets i That a brilliant aud overwhelming vie- j rj "" " " A 1/% rrty ?? Ko on V I tory awaits us muse i^?u nu .Uu5t. -.v . doubt. But while this is so.weshould not1 ^ relax our efforts. The greater our vie- \ ? a 0 tory tlie greater will bo our rejoicing,, and the more surely will we carry the ! State again in 1880, which is regurded j by uiany as the turning point in the his-1 tory of our government. Especially j inust we in Kershaw county stand to our posts. We have in our midst a some-10 what demoralized and disorganized, but i still a powerful and unscrupulous enemy j A that we must beat at the polls. That I o they are goiue to contest our right to | control the county is no longer a matter' p of doubt. Aided by a few disgruntled ; tl individuals who wanted office at the | hands of the Democrats and couldn't > Q get what they wanted, the Radical party j ^ hopes to nominate a kind of hybridized je] ticket on the 3d of October, and thon j by drawing tight the party lines, and using liberally the party lash to elect it p in November. Hut such will not be. ^ Such cannot be, if the Democratic leaders keep on the alert, and continue to attend all of their meetings and answer and denounce every campaign lie that s is uttered. In this way tho Iladical n' readers are convicted and hacked in the presence of their own people. And ^ nothing is more disgusting to the st average colored man than the see the 01 men who have for years led them, and ? whom they have regarded as posscsing a superabundance of wisdom and cour>? age, confused and made to show the p< wbito feather. Let the Democrats of G lvcrshaw but work earnestly and enthu- si "" siastically for six weeks longer, and tr then they may take a resting spell with w the satisfaction of knowing that their th work jnea well konc, vi A Warning. For many years past, the press of f :uth Carolina has teemed with accounts c ' the destruction of dwellings, barns. 1 In houses, mills, &c., by incendiaries, o such an extent, indeed, has this vil- < inous uiode of gratifying personal or | sliticul spite been carried by fiends, ( ho could not but have beeu instigated , = ( y the Devil, that very few insurance jmpauies could he induced to take sks upon such buildings as we have lentioned. In the hope that the day was ot fur distant when a wholesome change ould be wrought in the condition of lieir affairs, and to do nothing to reinl the dawning of that era, our peole, notwithstanding the insufficiency { the law to protect their property sublitted to the outrages as a matter of latriotic duty, nut mat time nu? lassed, never to return. Through the astrumentality of the Democratic party, re now have a law that imposes an apiropriatc penalty upon the wretch who rould apply the torch to the neighbor's tarn, or it may bo his dwelling. And t may as well be understood that the )urnings which have already begun in ome counties will not be tolerated, ivery case of arson will be thoroughly nvestigated, and the guilty ferreted out ud brought to trial, if, indeed, they are tot summarily dealt with by an infuriaed and long-sufferiog people. So let he e"il disposed tuke warning while et it is time. Thfl Election in Maine. Tlio result of the recent election in Wain* was a surprise. That the Rolublicans should fail to carry a State vhich they had claimed aodcontrolled for i quarter of a century was indeed cause or surprise. Rut, though it is the Republican party that has been beaten ind driven from a stronghold, it is not he Democratic party that has been vie* orious. The result of the olection was irought about by a breaking off from he old Radical organization of large lumbers, who have at length learned by lad experience to differ with the party n its financial policy, and who in many nstances affiliated with the Democrats br no other purpose than to defeat the Radical candidates. So it cannot be laid that the Democratic party has gained a victory, although the Republicans have experienced an unexpected rud overwhelming defeat. Itoi etill tho result U vory gratifying :o the Democracy. The election of Stato officers is thrown into the Legislature, and the Democrats by uniting tvith the Greenbackers can place in office men who will be less objectionable than my who have administered the affairs if Maine iD many years. Of five txicm)ers of Congress tho Republicans have inly three instead of all of thorn, and imong those left at home is Mr. Eugene dale, who has rendered himself nolo ions, during the ten years he has spent n Congress, as an earnest hater of the Southern peoplo. Another gratifying fact is developed >y this election, and that is that the Republican party of the United States i rapidly becoming disorganized, iitherto the greenback movement has iccn confined to the Western States, .''hat it should tuke root in the Ea9t. ,nd in so short a time assume such proortioos in the staid old State of Maine j a sure sign that masses of the Republian party arc beginning to discover that. , lie mission of that party has long since , icen accomplished, and that they are ow seeking a now base of operations. ( "bough not a Democratic victory, the lection in Maine has been the next , ling to it?a Republican defeat?and v?r it as such cood dcodIo cvervwliere a i i * , jay rejoice. NEWS ITEMS. Mrs. Gem.

Madison Wells has announced himself as an Independent candidate for Congress in the Fourth district of Louisiana.

And yet Massachusetts hii9 paased a similar law, which has just gone into ell'fct. Not only this, but several other Northern States have had similar provisions all the time.
