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.

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

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

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

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

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

It is largely insured. Two hundred and

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. It is not at all improbable

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

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.

""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."

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

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.
