WINNSBORO. S. C. OATUVRPAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1878. It. MHANS DAI8, EVITO1. JNO. S. 19EYNOLDS, AssOCIATP EDITon. A FEARFUL cartliqtiake in Central Amcrica, on the 2d of October, de stroyed ten or twelve tow ns and iany lives. It must have been the tidal wave from this convulsion that tumbled Camipbell, Mackey and Sialls all in i heap on Tuesday. Mn. WENDELL P1111,,11rs, in a speech made in behalf of Butler the nigit before the election, said: ''Ir the sun of the next century looks down on a union of forty States it. will be the effect of the million blacks who are the allies of the Stars and Stripes. The blood that sinks into the soil of South Carolina to-night, through the traitor in the White Ilouse-(ap plause)-will yet unite the million allies that the Republicans summoned to the fight." Has Sam Lee's nose been bleeding? A Fable From Esop. One Day the President of the Society for the P. of C. to Aninmals meti a Dromedary painfully making his Way through Bottle Alley, with an Eye bunged, four Ribs fractured, an Ear gone and H1air turned seven Ways for Sunday. On being asked the Cause of his Troubles, ''Alack-a-day," re piled he, "I have been trying Con clusions with the Patent Bore Ex terminator and it 'laibuisted' me.'' Moral-The Bearing of this Obser wation lies In the Application of it. After the Battle. Tihe Democrats have made almost a clean sweep of the State, Beautl'ort alone being left in the Hadical colunii. All five Democratic Coiigressmnen are elected by heavy nimjorities. The Senate will stand twenty-nine Demo crats to five Radicals, and the House one hundred and twenty-one Demio crats and three Radicals. I'he glori ous victory achieved in Charleston sends a thrill of joy through every heart. The interest in the election centred almost wholly in the light in that county, and the voice of the whole State is raised in honor of the Charleston Democracy who by oie blow have crushed out Bowen, MackeyL Taft, Buttz and Campbell, I.,U IIIcif1 Charleston. Williamsburg has mash ed out Swails effectually. Orange burg and Richland have gained de cisive victories. The Democratic ma jority in other counties is alnost * phenomenal. Hampton will receive a very heavy vote, but not largely in excess of the Democratic strength. In very fewv places did he receive Radical votes. Reports from other Southern States announce a most gratifying solidity. The South is almost a unit in Con gress; the Radicals retaining only two Radical Senators, Bruce, of Missis sippi, and Kellogg, of Louisiana, and not more than two or three members of thme House. Reports from the North, however, are not so cheering. Thme Denmocrats sniered there from bad management or bad luck, or both. Three things consp)ired against them-Sam Lee's lies, money' and Federal marshals, amnd more especially the G reenback heresy. In the West, thme hard money men generally supported the Rad ical ticket; while the soft money men divided between the Democratic and the Greenmback tickets, and cast just enough votes to give pluralities to the Radicals. In thme East, the hard money idea prevailed among all classes and helped the Republicans. In 'New York, moreover, tihe Democrats eufered from the bitter antagonism of Tildon and Tammany, and thus allowed the Radicals to slip In. Seven thousand Greenbackers in Connmecti cut gave victory to the Radicals, State, Legislative and Congressional tickets. thus also ensuring a Rlepublican Sena tor to succeed Unrnum, Democrat. New Jersey turns a somersault every * year or two, and this time goes head long into thme Radical camp. All over * the North the Rladicals gaini Congress * mnen, but they cannot overcome the Democratic gains also made in Octo ber, and in the South at this election. The Senate will consist of forty-two Democrats, thirty-thre'e Republ icanus and one Independent. The House will have eight or ten Democratic u\jority. Thme Democrats huave nine teen State delegations, and the Radi cals eighteen, with California to elect her delegation next year. This will doubtless be Republican, in which case the States will stand nineteen to nineteen, and the House cannot elect a president. As the Greenback party has received a quietus at the present election, the chance of throwing the el,tin.nto the House is very slight. cut, New York and New Jersey, which went for Tilden in 1876. The' contest in 1880 promises to be very close. Building and Loan Ausocialon.
