Hh Jpurusltl G.G.ALEXANDER,Proprietor, t CAMDEN, S. 0., OCTOBER 17,1878. Three Weeks More. Less than three weeks more and the 1 5th of November, a day to be memorable ' in the history of South Carolina, will 1 be here. All ore agreed that our county will go Democratic by a large majority. But has every stono been turned ? Has everything been dono that can be thought of that will the more effectually crush out Radicalism from our midst? Nothing that is Aaim/* of oil Aon Krt rl A n P fnft W4*1I. YIU11.U uu.ug ?.. v?. ? TLe Radical party cannot be killed too dead, nor the Democratic triumph made too complete. The policy is to go it with a rush from now until the election is o?er. Meetings will be held at various points in the county. Our caodi dates and others will be present and address the people on the issues involved in the campaign. It is highly impor. tant that those meetings should be attended. Nothing strikes so much terror into the hearts of the Radicals as large and enthusiastic Democratic meetings. .Let the people turnout as one man, and contribute by their presence to the success of tho good causo. ' All Along the Line. The news from all parts of the State is most encouraging. That a brilliant triumph awaits tho Democrats is no longer a matter of doubt. Their State ticket having no opposition, tho contest is for Congressmen, members of the General Assembly and County officers. In ; the Third and fourth Disticta there is j no opposition to Cols. Aiken and Evins, { and in many counties the Radicals will i have no ticket in the field. It is con- j fidently expected that our party will! elect four, and probably five, Congress-j """i oi'l fnnr firftio nf lh? Knnn. IUV/UJ UUU Vfc* ? ? J? 4UUI-UKKW .?.V VVWU ties in the State. Nor is this estimate j overdrawn. It is made after carefully counting the chances. Surely, if all of this be done, it will be cause for rejoicing on the part of the good people of South Carolina. But, though the prospect is so favorable, we must not forget that work? constant, determined and harmonious work?is (he price of success. So let no ono relax his efforts until the polls shail ~ ?? umi ui.mA uuacu on me om 01 iNoyetnber. Nothing will be lost by it. The Radical party will simply be buried the deeper, and our victory the more com-1 pletc. Guard Your Liberties. In the'electian in Ohio the other day the licpublicans tried the same game? and were successful too?that they practised in South Carolina during the radical administration?that of United States deputy constables arresting men at the polls for alleged attempts at intimidation, and thereby gave victory to the Republicans. When a State like Ohio submits to such outrageous acts, what can we expect will be the management at elections to be held in the near future? Itwillbein the power of tbc government to qurry every election that is held?as it will be an election in name i only. If this thing is allowed to go on, the time will come when the offiers of our government will be as permanently established in their scats as if they were under a monarchy, ar.d any one who at? tempts to vote them out at the polls will bo called a traitor, and thrust into ' . I prison. If it had been attempted in the North ten years ago, the whole people would have rose up and crushed it out ' at once, as being a direct stroke at the . foundation of their liberty?freedom at 1 the ballot box. It is by degrees that ' men become tyrants. Just ho with the Republican party. They have gone from one step to auotber?until we have hardly noticed it?depriving us of one right after another?until we have almost reached the government of a Czar or a Sultan. Let us rise up now in our might, and put a stop to it; restore the government to what it was under our fathers, and drive out all those thieves and robbers who havo for tho last ten years robbed alike the trea3uryi of its money and the people of their liberties. j We can see from tho above what we J may expect in South Carolina on the fifiK aP VnromKnr iP tda Ja uiii* vi ^wfviMvvi *? tie uv uwi* uvpiii | ourselves and be rca Jy to meet them at! the polls, and there give the death blow ' to villainy, rascality and corruption in j our State, and firmly establish in its; 1 stead an honest and good government, 0 (as it has beeu under. Hampton's ad- 1 ministration). It is a duty we owe to c ourselves, our families and our State 1 that every lionest man shall lend all his ' energies to the good cause. t f NEWS ITEMS. t A Berlin dispatch says tho election v of the Prince of Montenegro as Prince c of Bulgaria is agitated in the latter o country. a Gen. Pillow, one of the veterans of e the Mexican war and a major-general 1 in the Confederate army, died at his v homo in Arkansas recently. He was in r the 73d year of his age. r \ - The Vulcan iron works, the last ti Manufactory remaining open in Chat- c anooga, had to closu up ou aecouut of ii he yellow fever running off al! the T ikilied workmen. t The Russians claim that the territory between Constantinople and Adrianople t is not affected by the Treaty of Berlin, ] and that, therefore, under the prelimin- a ary Treaty of San Stefano they have a j right to occupy it until a definite treaty , is concluded. ( At a meeting of the Charleston , Chamber of Commerce on the 14tb, the ^ Southern Pacific Raifroad was discussed. , The- meeting was addressed by ex- j Senator Norwood, of Georgia. They ( have the utmost confidence that the , road will eventually be built. Chesterfield bad ther big day on | the 11th. Thousands of red shirts , took part in the procession and many , ladies were also nresent. A large nutn- , bcr of colored democrats joined in to swell tlie crowd. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout the whole day. It is probable that the party troubles in Hampton county are at an end, and now political affairs are expected to go smoothly on. Hampton wa3 there on the 12th to address the mass-meeting at Bruuson's, and all differences were settled, unity being their motto from this time forth. The Berlin correspondent of the Times telegraphs that notwithstanding the fact chat policemen and military patrols scour the streets of St. Peters burg, revolutionary placards continue to be posted in that city. Pamphlets of an incendiary character are secretly distributed.and threatiug letters are addressed to ministers and leading members of the government. Edinburgh, Pa., was destroyed by fire on the morning of the 13th iustant. The fire broke out at half-past 3 o'clock. The firemen were promptly on hand, but their efforts were paralyzed by an 1 insufficiency of water. The total loss is i rtri'mfttnil fit fl?nm ftQ-.n nnn fn sunn non. I robliumwu gw iiuiu ?w It is largely insured. Two hundred and twenty five buildings were burned and I the town is almost completely destroyed. There is much suffering among the losers and u relief committee has been organized. Justice very seldom overtakes the "gentleman" thief, but two of them ?Tore cnkeu in the other day. Jesse R. Oakley, defaulting f?aqh;pr of the Merchants' Exchange National Bank, of New York, who was indicted in 1870, and fled to Europe, but returned recently, was sentenced, in the United States Court, to five years' hard labor in the Albany penitentiary. George T. Hathaway, of Taunton, Mass., was sentenced to ten years in State prison for stealing bank funds. Another piece of rascally robbing and swindling ha9 just been sanctioned by the government. The uttorney general decides that United States marshals are entitled to full mileage on each , writ served by them, when several writs , issued in behalf of the Government against different persons are served at the same time, only one travel being necessary to make the service on all of said persons, provided the travel is actually performed. The only exception is when several writ9 are served on the same person.

A Bloody Mystery.?The Edisto 'Orangeburg) Clarion of Saturday last has the following: "On Monday night is some raftmen were coming down Black Creek, Lexington County, they aotijed the body of a man in the water iust below Bambeau's Bridge. On eximiualion in the road mar the bridge 1 ;hey noticed where a vehicle had come i >ver from the Edgefield side and turned irouud. Just where it turned a pool )f blood was found. The tracks of the vehicle were traced six miles up the Edgefield road and then lost. The nan's throat was cut. It is to be hoped hat the guilty party may be arrested, ind meted out the just punishment the ? bul deed demands. We also learn that he body of another man was found in ^ he Edisto River, just below Horsey's ^ iridge. His throat was Jcuf, besides ^ laving several stabs in the body. The French steamer from St. Thomas o Havana brought further particulars j if the insurrection in St. Croix. The t nsurrection broke out in the west end t f the island where three-fourths of the t Uttunarl n r\ A mlUrrar) TKo unua Tfuru uuiuvu uuu ^uia^wi auw nsurgonts then traversed the island ' owards Bassin, but the arrival offorces J roui St. Thomas saved that part of be island. Sixty-seven sugar estates ^ rero burned, and only nine sugar estates ^ if value remain. The principal leaders f the insurrection have been caughP = ind are now undergoing trial. About ^ ight huudred insurgents are still scatered about the country. Tho insurgents rere all negroes. The cause of the insurcction was short payments of wages and efurfal of th'c authorities to'giVO phsip'ofts a ????11? ?I I I I I III | jg I I w>?^ 0 negroes. St. Croix was already dclining rapidly, and the island therefore 1 totally ruined. The merchants of St. ?houias lost heavily by the insurrec ioii. Tub Greenback candidate for. Govericr of Tennessee. seeiug the utter hopeessness of his gcttinff tho position, hns innounced his withdrawal from the ace. ""Collector Woodcock, writing to ;he Internal Revenue office from Nashville, under date of the 9th instant, reports the big raid still progressing. He jays: "Jackson County is apparently invincible. My raiders can march through tho county and rcoc-ive the Sre of the enemy from every hill-top and return the fire, but the nature of tho ground is such that no arrests of armed violators can be made. In a smrmisn uctween nveivo 01 uiy muu and forty or fifty law-breakers, last Friday, it is quite probable that four of tho latter were killed, one mortully injured and one slightly wounded In another skirmish on the same day it is thought another law-breaker was killed. So far, nine illicit distilleries have been destroyed aud several distillers arrested and bound over. This is the first big raid of my administration, and I am con* vinced that nothing can conquer Jackeon but to camp u strong force in that county, to remain for months." A TERRIBLE disaster occured at a # T * \ - *1. - 1 i *L !- -a tneatre in Jviverpooi 011 me iuu mm. It is stated that between four and five thousand persons were in the Colosseum Theatre at the time that a fatal panic occurred, although the statement is probably exaggerated. It appears that one of the performers was singing 8 comic song when a free fight commenced in the pit. The cry of fire was raised, and there was a general stampede foi the box office entrance, although then are said-to have been five other doors open for the egress of the audience The police iosMc and outside endeavored in vain to control the frantic crowd The structure of the theatre at th< point where the crush occurred is'intrU cate, the exits converging into the nar? ?> ?J .?11 ,i.. .1 ^ i row wen, anu hi una wcu iuu ucuu were collected until they had reached a ghastly pile six or seven bodies deep An upright partition in the centre ol the doorway stopped the passage until one of the men attached to the theatre procured nu :ixe and cut it away, enabling some of the imprisoned to escttjn?. A toouo of tbo greatest cxeitoment prevailed outside of the theatre, The fire engines and fire escapes arrived on the ground and (lie firemen joining the police entered the building'to re-assure the people. The manager of the theatre, upon the first alarm, rushed into the pit lrom the entrance and shouted to the audiance to remain <juict, but all his efforts were ineffectual until the theatre had been nearly cleared. The dead and injured were carried to the royal inQrmary. Two of tho dead were women, threo boys, and thirty-two strong, ablo bodied men of the laboring class.
