i» not likely that the next Presi-
l election will be thrown into the
House of Representatives, but it is
quite possible. At any rate, it would
be a comfort to either party to know
that the majority of delegations was
on its side. If it he true that Florida
has one Democratic Coigfessvnnn and
one Republican, and that the chances
favor the Republicans in California, we
are confronted with either a hare Re
publican prodomlnence or a possible tie.
The Washington Star adduces tables
to ahow that there will be a tie in the
next iTd^na on a vote of States, that
consequently the House would not
elect, and the functions of President
would devolve upon the President pro
tempore of the Senate. Assuming
that California will go Republican,
♦ bat party will have a majority of Rep
resentatives fn nineteen States. The
Democrats will have mnjoriiies in the
delctmtlons from eighteen States, with
Indiana a tie, having six Republicans,
six Democrats and a Grecnbacker for
its Representatives. This Greenback-
er Congressman, Mr. De La Matyr,
thus becomes a very important per-
flfrm I/ee Arrested.

SnuTKR, November 20.—This morn
ing Charles Mayrant, Esq., a highly
respected cltfxen ^nd lawyer of this
place, took out a warrant for Samuel
Lee for not keeping open the ofllca of
the judge of Probate of Sumter
county, as required by law. Lee was
arrested and taken before Trial Jus
tice Walsh, who required him to give
hail In the usual sum of $500. Lee
refused to give bail unless bis own re
cognizance was accepted, and was in
solent to the Trial Justice, flually walk
ing out of the office with the remark
that he was not amenable to the pro
cess of the Trial Justice*’ Court. Some
time having been allowed by the Jus
tice to enable Lee to furnish ball, and
no effort having been made in that di
rection, the J ustice issued a commit
ment, and the sheriff took Lee Into
custody and lodged him in jail.
It Is pretended that, as Sam I>e has
been subpcbrmd to attend the United
States Court as a witness, he was not
liable to arrest, and alter his arrest It
is snld he procured himself arrested
by United States Marshal Singleton
under process for a wltnes*. Ail such
sonage. It is assumed that he will Himsy pretexts will fall, as there is no
Horry county has i

vote with the Democrats—indeed in a
published speech he is repotted as
having given that assurance—thus
giving Indiana to that party, and ma
king a tio of Statra in the House.
Borne who claim to be his personal
friends, however, insist that ho would,
in the contingency stated above, vote
with the Republicans, and Thus exer
cise a greater power titan Judge Brad
ley on the E'ectoral Commission. As
suming that tho States in 1880 will
stand ns they do to-duy, the Btar fig
ures up a majority of Republican
votes.
The Republicans, it must be ad
mitted, stand the better chance for
getting the one State nBcesatiry ; but
they may be mistaken in this. There
are chances of a tie also; and
then the Greenbacker, De La Matyr,
may become tho central figure, for iv
time in American politics, to be alter
nately blessed and cursed, which ever
way he may vote. Then again, the
drad-lock may be unbreakable, lead
ing to the Presidency of a Democratic
Bcnator. We incline to believe that
the contest will be decided by the peo
ple ; but it must be confessed that
there are elements of danger, in any
event,' witich*c«rvB<A''l>« dlaiogarded,
and which it will take nil the good
sense and patriotism of the people to
maintain towards a peaceful solution.
As the Houth was a peacemaker In
1870, she Will, if occasion arise, bear
the olive branch again, although the
Radical extremists are doing all they
can to provoke her beyond endurance.

SrARTANBURO. November 20.—News
received here to-night from Union, S.
C., gives the particulars of a shooting
affray there yesterday, which has ter
minated fatally. It seems that Jas. R.
Peake, proprietor of the bai-room on
Main street, near the Union Hotel,
being under the iniluence of mean
whiskey, met James Turner, ex-depu
ty sheriff and bar-tender, in the street
near his saloon. Some words passed
between the parties, and Pcakebecame
enraged and cursed Turner. A fight
ensued, in which Turner knocked
Peake dowu twice, he himself getting
slightly cut on the cheek. Outsiders
Interfered and prevented further vio
lence at that time. Peake turned into
his saloon, muttering something which
seemed to be a threat. Turner walk
ed across the street to the hotel, but
soon returned and met ^eakc coming
out of his front door. The marshal
being near tried to take Peako off, but
Turner drew his pistol and shot him
in the abdomen, infilcting a mortal
wound. The marshal at once arrested
Turner ami placed him in Jail, where
he nowds. The shooting took place
yesterday at 2:30 p. m., and Peake died
to-day at 12.30 p. m. Peake was
known as a desperate character, being
very effensive when under the influ
ence of liquor. Turner is also a kind
of rough, aud is thought very little of
by respectable citizens.

<>iew. Gordon's Trlnmpli.
Atlanta, November 19.—The Sena
torial election took place to-day, and
General Gordon was almost unani
mously elected, and without a Conven
tion of the Houses, carrying every
vote in the Senate and all but five in
the House of Representatives. Stren
uous efforts weremade to organize an
opposition, bat without success. No
man in the Senate could be found who
would nominate another candidate,
aud four of the five voting against him
in the House were Independents from
the Seventh Congressional District
This is considered the greatest politi
cal triumph ever achieved in Georgia.
IYashinoton, November 19.—The Se
cretary of the Interior has written to
the Secretary of War taking earnest
exceptions to the recent report of Gen.
Sheridan, in which the latter mentions
tho Indian situation as unsatisfactory,
with additional comments upon the
management of Congressional appro
priations by employees of the Indian
bureau.
Mr. Schurz hopes that Gen. Sheri
dan will communicate any facts In bis
possession which will warrant the
charges made by that officer. He says
that he makes this request in view of
the fact that certain military officers
seem to have fallen into the habit of
indulging officially and publicly in
general reflections on tbe Indian ser
vice without taking the trouble of sub
stantiating them with such statements
in detail as would facilitate the dis

Mr. Talraage’s onslaught upon gild*
ed sin has been so long sustained and
powerful that cities other than New
Yoik are beginning to remonstrate
with him. From "the dark and
bloody ground ” of Kentucky and
from the virtuous Watterson cotneth
this wail .* “ Upon due consideration
of the situation, It would seem really
better for Dr. Talmage to have, those
sinful horrors yawniog under his feet
that he may constantly point them out
to the deacons and churchmen, who,
he says, are taking their ease, and
sending funds to convert the people at
Qiang nan and Tooen-chow, while
hell Is sucking in thousands around
them. The motive of Talmage is, no
doubt, a good one. Let him work up
a public sentiment against tbe preva
lent Vices; but he should not kltfk
them all out of Hew York at once to
fasten like devouring locusts on other
cities and towns, which probably have
enough In their small way to keep
them lively.”
