WINNSBORO, S. 0. VHURSDAY, NOVRMBR 7, 1 1875e 79. MN ANS DAVIS, HDITO1. WNO* a. RYNOLIDf, ASSOCIATIC EDITOM. CHARLESTON ALL RIGHT I An "Independent Democrat" "Tries Conclusions With the County Execu tive Committee" and Comes Out at the Little End of the H9rn --The Straw that Broke the Campbell's 3ftoj. (SPECIAL TO Tam NNWS AND UERALD.) CUAnLESTON, November 6-7, P. M. -The Democratic majority in the city is over six thousand, with several precincts in the country yet to- be heard from. On the basis of tho*v6te' of 1876, the Democratic majority in Charleston county cannot fall below forty-five hundred, and it may reach flive thousand. .. Europe. Europe is In a delightful state. The late treaty of Berlin iwas -apparently but a temporary arrangement, that all the powers are t(*gettng as Ynst 'as possible. Russia and Turkey are again on the eve of war; while Eng land is preparing to fight the Afghais, who are thought to be backed secretly by Russia. The Austrian, Italian and Grr ek Cabindts have been d'ssolAd and are remodeling. The Republicans have made large gains *In the 1 rench Senate, while Paul de Cassagnde, the Bonapartist agitator, In a speech delivered in the Chambers, .accused President MacMahon of 'fbr jorf. Lastly, Secretary Evarts has addi'ess' ed a tart note to 1ngland abolit.tfie* fisheries, which Is stlgihatized by' ihe English press as an 'atfempt to bull doze Great Britain while Ahd'.is ina trouble on European and Eastern afthirq. The agitation against thb Socialists. in Germany, and the nar row escapes of Wilhelm and Alphonso from the assassin's bullet, complete thp picture. Europe is worse off than we. are. The Elections. The accounts of the election thus far received are only meagre ones. In the State the election wap. a very quiet. one everywhere. Of the do4btAl. counties, Richland goes Demcratic by a b1andsome najqrity; Sumter is lafe for the Deniocrats; Williamsburg is Democratic by a good majority; Darlington claims one thousand Demo cratic majority, and is certainly safe; Beaufort sends an increased Demo cratic vote; Chester and Newberry are all right; Georgetown is probably Republican by a small mnajority ; Ker shaw elects her''Democratic county icket by a good majority; in Orenge hurg the vote is close, buit the Iemo crats will almost surely comne out a few hundred ahead. In Charleston,. the contest was a hard one, bu ~, the Democrats swept' thxe' eit'yg by.flyve thousand majority. 'Tho country will doubtless send a Radical mnajority, buE not large enough to defeAt -the Demo. cratic ticket. The Charleston Democ racy have done a glorious work. Of the Congressmen, .Aikon, Evinis, Richardson and Tillmqq at*e certAinly elected, and O'Connor's election is also assured by the splendid niews frbn Charleston. * In the national elections the result is mixed, but not enough'to kep off a Democratic majority in -the JIluse. In New York, Tammanmy id \vhipped out. In Massachusetts, RutlNr is likec. 'wise "gone upl." Fairfield Pree. Fallrfield is finally fmepa The flec tionl on Tuesday forever p)ut an end to Radicalism In this county. FiP'th first time In Fairfield'sglItrg-vesme spectacle pre'sented of' an entie State, Congressional and county ticket sup ported with scarcely a dissenti g voice. Such unanhpIty li*pi i$ht precedent. It Is all due to the spieun did organization of thb pi5' #, i to the es'prit de corpse y gigi &ie peopl)1. Radicals and Indoe5dudents could lind no foothold i oiaedinuity. The maintenance of stlIg istriotil~p line will insure imnmuni ty flom d an ger not only in 1880 but in eve'ry' sud ceeding election for yogry~ to, cong. y The moat pleasing fahtire of 'lIues day's election was the heartiness with which the colored people cornc "for ward and supported tWo) bordea ticket. The spavined and sistp~ypd old hacks that had constituted tlpm solves leaders, findI14inAf $4i4ition useless, ondeavq)d8,g g ,,, masses fr'om tixo' polls. . At a li1,le caucus in Winnshotuj.1hil ad iVek preceding the e~4o,? nounced that A. ace~iL~ us4~ word to the blacks not to vote I' time, as it woul~[lbtj This game waslTe sa~ M in Fellelana L,ouisianA In Rladicals M*'d toIbstMi and thenpe Rladical lades are not so 1m as they on '0 - and the colored masses tu'It Oil ell in support of .the 0o8Ura'tic ticket. Not only all our colo.rcd*ernio6ra ats of 1876, but. many new converts, walked volun tarily to the polls and arrayed them selves on the right side. Dan Bird voted himself andb rought up several 9ther eolored voters. John McDowell, amiother ex-member of the Legislature, also voted. Other proii nent colored Republicans voted1 also at'differat prcoiuqts; and the color line was 'racticalty obliterated. A few stood sullenly back, and resisted al,l inportunitIs. They should be marked In f\ture, as many of thent subsist wholly on patroil!agj front Democrats. An4ther drowning 'feature of the victory was its poaceffilness. Not a disturbance or collision occurred from the beginning of the campaign to the close ofithe*Voting. No cry of bull dozing and intiidation can be raised. Fairfield is redeemed, without a symnp tom of violence. We congratulate our people upon their State tickot, upon their Con gressman, and last, but not least, up9n their choice of Messrs. Gaillard, Brice and Clowney for the Legisla ture, Boyles for probate judge and Boyd for school comlmissioller-gen tlemen who will do their duty to all classes, regardless of jrace, color or previous condition. .1rMENEAL..
