ELI;ERT LI. AULL, EITOI:. ELBERT H. AU LL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, r NEWBERRY. S. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1%SS. THE GENERAL ELECTION. "So large a thing as the national elec tion cannot be decided in a day" ) sot Vs the Augusta Chronicle and we agree with it and, when the results in the [ . large States seemll to be so close it is hardly posiblIe to reach a correct de cisiol without the official count. Yet it is uncomfortably close and in fact some )emocrats who ought to be inl formed ad:itted last night that the Republicans had won by the loss of New York and possibly Indiana. Without New York the Democrats cannot wim. The Associated Press dispatches that first came in on Tuesday night were en couraging, but yesterday afternoon they began to be conflicting and it looked very much aslif the Democrats had lost. New York, and with it the national ticket. We do not believe that Cleveland's good luck has deserted him, and we still have a hope that the official count will show that he has carried New York. It will be remembered that four years ago the result was not known un til Friday and until then everything was very gloomy for the Deaiocrats. The dispatches were not encourag ing yesterday. Capt F. W. Dawson, member of the National Committee, telegraphed Chairman Hunt yesterday afternoon that we were beat by the loss of New York and possibly -Indiana. and that the next House would be Republican. This intelligence is nlot encouraging. Local politics in New York seemed to absorb national issues. Hill is elected Goevrnor by a handsome majority. We understand that omong the bulletins from the Associated Press yesterday, that Chairman Brice does not concede atything to the Republi cans, and claims Illinois for the Demo crats. We also learned last night that a prominent geutlelan in Columbia had received late yesterday afternoon assuring news for the Democrats from New York. We are not willing to admit that Cleveland is defeated until we hear the result of the official count. Mr. Sligh was not a candidate for the Senate and stated that he would not serve if elected, yet some peopl voted for him anyhow. This he could not help. It is said the recent prsidential cam paign cost an outlay of about four mi lion dollars. The National Exposition at Augusta * opens to-day. 'The eketion is over and S ~ hnild ow urn ur ateninto the section. Let South Carolina unite with Georgia and the South to niake the Ex position of our sister city a grand suc cess. Speaker Carlisle has beeni returned to Congress by an increased majority, but it seems to be a little doubtful as to whether the Democrats will have the next house. The South sends up a solid front for the D)enmocrats. The R-epublicanis be gan to claim Yirginia, but she is all right for the D)emoerats. THEY GO TO .JAIL. Charleston Anti-Licens.e Meni Reruse to Pay their Fines. (Special to the Register.] CHARLESTON. November 1.-There is blood in Charleston's moon to-day. In the early part of tihe year an associa tion was formed among some of the mier chants to resist the payment of the mnu nicipal license tax, on the ground that it is a double tax and unconstitutiou al. A bout sixty mierchants joined the association and paid a handsome fee to ex-Governor 31agrath, who took thle case up to the State Supreme Court. -About a fortnight ago the court ren dered a decison refusing the appeal and sustaing the constitutionality of the municipal license tax. The Anti-License Association there fore appointed a committee to wait upon their counsel and ascertain what it would cost to carry the case to the United States Supre'me Court. For some reason thbe clients and their coun sel filed to comle to terms. Yesterday to remhiit ti t ur was received from the State Supreme Court, and to day the City Sheritf begzani issuing exe cutionls umlier the sentence of the City Court. Six executions were issued this morning. resulting inl the arr-est of John 31eElree, J. H. Brown and C. I3erbuse, three of thle defendaiits, who were ar rested and lodgedl in jail, having refused to pay the tine and costs. Other ar rests w-ill follow to-morrow. The defendants say that they will stay in jail and will sue the city for damages. There is considerablie excitemienit over the arrests in the city. and pub1 lic opin1 ion is divided as to thle advisability of tile actioni of thme otlicers. The senlte~nees of the defendants arc alternative. T'heir fines and costs range from S5 to ,2.? with the alternative of imprison ment ranglig fronm thirty days to six monthls. p1eviug to Thle Wo rid.]3 L Aunm:ss, Noveumbers.- -The Laurenis fair. which ended on Wednesday, was a decided sucicess.

The Democrats carry the e Legislature on joint ballot for the first t time in ten years. This assures ihe I election of a Democratic U. S. Senator. Virginia probably I)eniocratic by a few thousand. West Virginia is in doubt and niay require the official count to decide. Fourteen cou nties out of 54 cast one- 1 third of the vote of that State. Repub lican gain of 1662. Complete returns from Connecticut give Cleveland 74,904, Harrison 74,519 Fisk 71S1. Cleveland's plurality 387. Returns from Indiana come in slowly. Twenty-seven counties out of 92 show 1 net Republican gains of 2,355. The Re publican State Committee claim that Harrison has carried the State by 5,000 plurality, while the Democratic Com iittee claim the State by three to six thousand. California is also in doubt and is claimed by both sides. Upon the whole it is almost certain that Harrison is elected President and that the Democratic majority in the House has been materially reduced. F. J. L. Some Bulletins. The following bulletins were received at Newberry yesterday afternoon and last night. EW YoRK, November 7.-The Eve ning Telegram places Harrison's plu rality for New York State at 1,000; Hill's plurality for Governor, 10,720. Indiana Democratic. A MIXTUCPE OF PURALITIES.

Republican State Committee claim that Harrison carried the State by 5,000 majority. IIOW IT LOOKED YESTERDAY New York. NEW XORK, Nov. 6.-Midnight. The Republicans now claim that Har rison's plurality outside of New York, Kings and Queens and Richmond counties, is 92,000, which, if confirmed, is sufficient to give him the State by 1.,000. Connecticut and New Jersey are safe for the Democrats. Cleveland's plurality in New York city, is 56,000. Hill, for Governor, has] 64,000 plurality. November 7-1 A. M.-R.,turns are very slow and the State is quite close, but it is confidently claimed at Dem ocratic headquarters for Cleveland by a small plurality.

M.-To the Daily Register : Harrison has ear ried New York State by 8,000 and is elected to the Presidency. T HE SUN. What the Papers Claimn. NEW X ORK, Nov. 7.-2 A. M.-The New York World says editorially : The indications are that Harrison has carried New York State by a small plurality. Gains which he~is making in the State promise to wipe out the 74,000) plurality for Cleveland this side; of Harlem river, and leave Harrison a fair margin of 8,000. Upon this basis the election of Har rison anid Morton must be conceded. The hope that a few Western States eaa be added to the Democratic eolumn can hardly be realized. Indiana is stIll in doubt, Connecticut has gone Republican, New Jersey increasesi her plurality for Cleve.and, but the Republicans have carried the day, and, the party wvhich four years ago triumn phanitly swept the country bows to the decree." EiW XORK, November 7, 2.30 A. 31. --At this hour there is little change in the situation, but the election of Har risonU is coned(ed on all sides.

A still 11ater return makes the vote: Cleveland 162,9 ~07, and Harrison 105,921-Cleve land' plurality, 56,980. The indica tions are that the entire Tammany Icounty ticket is elected. NW YaIoRK, Nov, 7.--5 a. m.-While the N ew York morning papers general ly conceded the election of Harrison, the limes has the following double-leaded editorial: "At 1 o'clock a. mn. the elec tion returns received by the Times fromni the interior of the State show diminish ing g.ains for Harrison, and it is by no Imeans certain that full returns will not altoget her destroy the pluralities that 1 early figures indicate for him and give the State to Cleveland. Connecticut, New Jersyv and Indiana are Decnocraxtie, t by safe p)luralities, and there is reason to t ex!,ect that later returns from Illinois wIll make that state extremely close if -3 they do not actually put it in~the Demn- ~ ocratic column. Ix he returns thus far received we canno concede the election of Harrison." tl.C . vv DLI. 1 1 [ The figures of the state, by counties, s given by the Times, give Harrison plurality of 7,576.

ALEXANDRIA, November i.L-The re urns from Virginia at 1 o'clock to iight are too meagre to estimate the najority. At the rooms of the State )emocratic Committee the electoral -ote of the State is considered safe for leveland. The Democrats have elected our Congressmen and the Republicans ane, and the indications are that the )eiuocrats will certainly elect three thers, and possibly four.

RALEIGH, November 6.-Returns from various parts of North Carolina indicate that the State has gone for Cleveland by about the same majority as in 1854, about 17,000.

I Columbia Making Ready for her .tnnmuai Festival. [Special to the News and Courier.] I COLUMBIA, November 2.-Secretary Thos. W. Holloway of the State Fair s Society is giving daily personal atten i tion to the preparation of the building e and grounds for the coming great State gathering. The new grand stand at the race course, which is to take p lace of the one blown down last sunihner, is I receiving its finishing touches, and the whitewashers began work on it to-day. r The new stand is in all respects uitlch superior tc its predecessor and, having ten additional rows of seats along its - length of 200 feet, it call accoumnodate 1 fromi 150 to 200 more spectators than s J the old one. The erection of new , "bleaching boards" was begun to-day, a neat fenee will be put up along the r quarter stretch, and the arraigeieits, .t all in all, will be inuch better than L- heretofore. The old coinhiiation judge's and i1 band stand has been tukei down t- from its position in the centre of the e exhibition arena, in order to af'ord it more room for riding and driving tihe horses. A band stand has been built against the balcony of the old main x building, and a judge's stand is well placed on the west sile of the arena. In the new main building, the open is ing in the floor of the second story, nh allowing inspection of the ground floor n as from a balcony, has been floored over, and as a result the floor- space of 11 this story available for exhibits is much increased. Whitewash is being freely s applied to fences, sheds, &c., and the e grounds will be in first rate condition -e by the end of next week. ?t Secretary Holloway says that the machinery, stock, cattle and horse ex hibits will be fully as good as usual. The machinery exhibits will indeed be finer than they have ever been, except one year when the display was extra ordinary and was accounted the finest a in the South. Among the special fea tures this year, in addition to the cream ery feature already mentioned in this correspondence, will be t'wo saw mills in operation, their proprietors having already ordered a supply of logs to saw s up. Another exhibitor has engaged is several hundred bushels of cotton seed which he will crush free of cost. - The railroads will sell excursion tick a ets to Columbia and the Fair with a & coupon attached entitling the holder to admission to the grounds. This coupon la cost fifty cents and must be bought by to all who desire excursion rates to this iy city, but life niemibers of the society n and the representatives of the press a who hold complimentary tickets of ,s admission are requested to understand 1. that upon their entrance into the Fair i grounds, the management will refund e the amount paid for the coupons. e The press of the State will also take i notice that there is some nmisunder is standing as to the arrangements for s freight rates on exhibits. The freight on alexhibits shipped by rail must be a prepaid by the shipper at the point of 3e shipment and upon the return of the y exhibits to the shipping point, and the ' issue of a certificate by Secretary Hollo way that the exhibits have been dis r played at the Fair, the amount paid for It freight will be refunded by the railroad authorities. In short the samne arrange is ment exists which has previously beti ia in force. Sonie exhibitors do not know i- this anid are worried. lSouth Carolina LeadM. 11 .

NEW O1RLEAxs, November. 3.-Some remarkable changes in the labor system if Louisiana are taking place. Agent Becker, of the German Society, states that he had, during October, sent over thousaand (ernan laborers to the ;nugar plamations. All these have been ,t"nt to tile upper coast, the workat Lah urele inl the Teilie being on the lower eo:st, on what is called the Or inge Belt. begins fully a imontl later. Mr. Kern,ochai, has, however, already receive twenty-five and Governor Warmnoth fourty, who are asked for to plant cane. In about a week the for wvarding of laborers will begin Ifor that section, w%here several hundred more will be required, which Mr. Becker ex pects to be able to "upply. Governor \arioth al<ane will hire niore than one hundredl. 'Tlie agelit's ol,servations show that (erimaii labou,r is steadily growiing inl favor, as well as inl importance, both in the cultivation and manufacture of sugar, and will soon prove a formidable conpetitor to negro labor, as greatly superior in etliciency and reliability. The decay of the negro plantation labor is marked. In 1868 nine-tenths oft he plantation hands were colored; in ]S7s eight-tenths, and this year the ligure is reduced to seven-tenths, with a ,rosplect of a niuch more rapid redue tion in the next few years. The secret of success in sugar raising is shown to be in small farms and white labor. As a rule the few settlers coining here from New England and the West, of which several hundred families have come in the past two years, will not employ negroes as field haols at all. One white mian in the field is worth two negroes. Meantime the negroes have almost nonopolizel the freight handling busi ness of the cities and landings. As steamboat roustabouts they are always in demand at from -50 to $75 per ionth and sauce on their pudding, so there is no fear that they will starve. Thanksgiving for the Orphans. As our annual day for rejoicing ap proaches, ('hristianl people should not forget the orphans. When the people assemble of that day to thank (od, let them thank Him w+ith their substance. One of the Institutions deserving of such remembrance is the Thornwell Orphanage, at Clinton, S. C. Although a Presbyterian Institution, more than half its inmates are from other denom inations, Baptists, Methodists, Luth erans and Episcopalians being repre sented. Its children are from ten ditterent States. mainly of course from South Carolina and Georgia. These children deserve well of the people, They cheerfully labor with their hands to help themselves, in kitchen, laundry, farm and elsewhere. Gifts of provi sions, money, can all be used. As there is no endowment to this Institu tiod, it depends on the charitable for support. Rev. Wim. P. Jacobs is the President. Send gifts to him, at Clii ton, S. C. Tnere are now nearly one hundred orphans applving to this Institution to he recei% ed. \What grand good, liberal gifts would do! Mrs. Cleveland's Amiability. A pretty incident that illustrates the character" of President Cleveland s wife happened on Saturday. Just as Mrs Cleveland left the train wvhich brought her to New York she stopped for amo-i mient at the engine and, looking up at the engineer, smiled and nodded her thanks to him. The engineer blushed and took his hat off as tbe lovely little mistress of t he White House thus hon ored him. Tlhe President laughed at this evidence of the thoughtful con snierat ion. that distinguishes M1rs. A Successful Express Robbery.

A DOUBLE ANNIVERSARY. Luther Chapel Celebrates a Pastoral Anni versary and the ReformSaton Festival. [Condensed from the Lutheran Visitor] Last Sunday, Rev. W. C. Scbaeffer, pastor of Lutheran Chapel, Newberry, preached his first anniversary sermon. A large congregation was present, every seat in the church being occupied. The pastor spoke in an earnest manner of the need of holy living and a separation from the world and its allurenents that we might press forward toward the prize of the high calling in Chru-t Jesus. lie exhorted his congregation to be more faithful and harmonious i the coming year, inasmuch as the pa_ toral year just closing had witnessed much progress in the spiritual and tenm poral affairs of his people. As a result of the work in the first year of his work in Newberry, Rev. Seiaett"er stated that he had preached 102 sermons, made 41 lectures, received 1 17 members into the church, performed 4 marriages and made 893 pastoral visits, The congregation contributed for all purposes, local objects, home and for eign missions, and education, the sum of $1,768.71. This is a splendid showing, and excels the record of former years. All the obligations of the congregation have been met, and everything is iuov ing along harmoniously.1 iThe Common Service was used for the rirst time at, this service. The con gregation united heartily in its intro duction, and its beauty and solemnity| impressed every one. THE REFORMATION FESTIVAL. 'fhie anniversary of the Reformation was celebrated at the evening service. The exercises of the evening were opened by a chorus of twenty-five voices iu "Holy, holy, Lord," etc., with cornet and organ accompaniment. The Scripture lesson was read by Rev. Prof A. U. Voigt, followed by prayer by Rev. Prof. J. B. Fox. Luther's battle hymn. "A safe strong hobi our God is still," was sung with splendid effect by the chorus. It had never been rendered so well in the church on any former occasion. Hon. Geo. B. Cromer then delivered an address appropriate to the occasion. The scenes in the life of Luther were forcibly portrayed, and the address, on account of its conciseniess, sparkling sentences and a departure from beaten paths, could scarcely be excelled. The earnest attention of the audience was directed to the speaker throughout its delivery. The exercises were closed by the singing of "Giorious things of Thee are spoken." A large audience was present, the seating capacity of the church being taxed to its utmost. The music was very good. 14. I. H AN OUTRAGE NEAR CENTRAL Three Suspected Men Arrested-Two Re leased and One Held for Proof. [Correspondence of the Greenville News.] CENTRAL, S. C., November 4.-A dastardly outrage was committed upon Mrs. M. Maw, who lives in a retired spot about four miles north of this place. On Saturday her son and daughter-in-law, the only ones living with her, came to town, leaving her all alone. About 120o'clock a young c9pper col lored negro, about eighteen or twenty years of age, camne into the house and seized her. She creamed for help, but no help was near. He then ran his hand into his pocket and told her that if she screamed again tbat he would blow her brains out. He dragged her from the house across a cotton patch, into the woods about one hundred yards from the hioun, and assaulted Tier, aTter 'whichTie fled, leaving her to drag herself back to the house. The news spread like wild fire, and soon bands of armed and determined mien were searching the country for the man. Just before night tie parties came into town and from information gained, suspicion fell upon a young negro Jim Williams, who had been a kind of "waiting boy" and "drummer" for the "Injin Doctor" since he has been here. He was at once arrested and kept in close custody until morning. During the night another negro, Joe Mayo, was taken in charge and another Williams, the brother of the first wa arrested this morning.. At about nine o'clock a.mi. a crowd took the negroes to Mrs. Maw's for identification. She cleared Joe Mayo and Jim's brother at once, and said she wvas almost sure that Jim was the man. Jim Williams says that he can prove an alibi, but he will remain in custody until to-morrow, when a preliminary examination will be held Since returning to town another trail has been started south of town, but have not heard from it.
