The political battle just brought to a close, so far as the gubernatorial raop ic concerned, has been probably the most remarkable in the history of the Democratic primaries in South Carolina. When Hampt<5n and his j followers redeemed South Carolina from negro domination in 1876? \ which was, of course, the greatest political battle^-and.the- greatest political victory in the history of the State? that was the fight of a united Democracy, against scalawag and negrcf rule. The battle just fought was a battle by opposing factions in the Democratic party. There are tnose ?' - i'-? i-' ii?i.

In the first place, the vote far surpassed any vote recorded in a Democratic primary, going some 15,000 and possibly more beyond the highwater mark of the past. in tne second piace, mere were long county tickets, some of these being counted first. There was, in addition, a very slow count in Charleston, owing to a num'ber of local conditions. Other big counties were very slow in the count.

There were a number of alarming rumors in circulation on Wednesday in regard to Charleston, ic being reported that a riot had occurred a.d that several people had been k?;ird. This rumor seems to have gained circulation based on nothing more than the fights which occurred in the city on election day, and the further fact that the militia of Charleston had been ordered to be held in readiness ; in case necessity should arise for it j to take a hand.

Tbe Herald and News on Tuesday night issued extras giving the results in Newberry county. In, the rush of receiving reports over the telephone, several errors have been discovered, but it is hardly possible that the results announced by The Herald and News can be changed by the official tabulation. Owing to two mistakes in receiving reports, the totals for the governor's race in Newberry county as given by The Herald and News \wre i not exactly correct. In the reports [iSH sent out by the News and Courier, B however, these totals had been cor- I rected, The Herald and News having I carefully revised the figures in this I race on account of the fact that the I race in the State was so close. After I a careful revision, on the unofficial a returns received by The Herald and I News, the following totals for tne governor's race in Newberry county are given: Blease, i,6i3. Duncan, 47.
