Wegivebelow tho result of the voting in.Orangeburg County, from oighteen precincts. It will be seen that Green has already surpassed Carpenters.voto in 1870, which was 1693, although" there are five precincts yet to be heard from, which will probably increase his vote several hundred. The following is tho partial result: Governor. D. H. Chamberlain ..3330 J. T. Green...1738 So far for Congress Buttz is about 1000 ahead of Mackay Probate Judge. Knowlton (Peoples) .2455 Sasportas (Regular)......1378 County Co nun lesion ein. Fairy (Peoples).1887 Phillips (Regular).*..1580 School Commissioner. Rev T. Phillips" (Peoples).2305 McKin'ay (Regular).1662 In our next issue we will give the full official returns, showing the vote at each precinct for each candidate. The above Bhows a terrible break into the Regular Ticket. ? ^ * m SI ATE ELECTION NEWS. Dispatches from all parts of the State show that Green is running better than any Independent Candidato since the war. Charleston, Anderson, Spartanburg Union, Sumter, Greenville and Lau rens, so far as heard from, give majori ties for Green. The prospect is flatter ing. There will certainly be a tremen dous Conservative and Independent gain in tho Legislature, whoever is elected Governor. It is thought that Mackay has beat en Buttz, and Sam Lee beaten Rainy for Congress. It is almost given up that Kershaw is elected in his District, and very probable that McGowan is victorious in his. CItEERINO/ The dispatches from every State, in which elections were held on Tuesday, indicate immense Democratic gains. Even Republican Massachusetts is said to have gone Democratic. Thompson (Dem.) has beaten B. F. Butlor to Congress. Republicans concede that the Democrats are victorious. The Democrats sweep New York. In Pensylvauia a telegram from Re publican sources says: "It is feared that the State has gone Democratic." We have no space in this issue at this late hour to give all the cheering tidings. A dispatch from Washington says: "The Democrats here arc very jubi lant, believing that the returns from every where, throughout the country will show immense Democratic gains." The political revolution this full is complete. Whatever may bo the result of the election, tho white people of South Carolina enjoy the consciousness of having done their full duty towards the colored race. Both in 1870 and 1874 they buried prejudices, and held out the olive branch of peace and recon ciliation. In 1870, by the advice of their lead crs, the colored people rejected theso proffers cf union, and in 1874 these same leaders, for the purpose of extend ing their lease of power, have again shaken before the ignorant and blind ed colored people the old Democratic skeleton, and the ever faithful Radical office winner, the Black Code. These aro the regular agencies, used by tho unprincipled creatures who arc living by oflico and official pup, to pre vent the two races from coining tngeth er on a common platform of honesty and food ffoVorDffient. cj ? o ~ * It is but natural that such repeated rejections of the conciliatory proposi tions of the white people will tend to drivo them to an opposito course, and adopt such other peaceful and legiti mate measures as may be necessary for their own good. Wo regret that tho colored people seem determined to ho lend by ollico seekers to oppose every thing upon which the white people are disposed to unite in their efforts for harmony^ for it is evident, oven if Green is elect ed, that tho masses of them have gone against the whites. The prosperity of South Carolina demands that ihe two races should harmonize, and it is a source of grati fication to us to be able to record tho fact that tho white people have, in two State elections, done their utmost to bring about f o desirable a result. We hope, if wo can do no. more, that their efforts may be orowned with success. ? 't >1 - NEWS ITEMS. Tho Aikcn Journal is aboutto change its name to tho Courier Journal. Several families havo l?ft Charleston in consequence of the yellow fever there. Why is there so much secrecy about this thing? A cutting affray occurred at Willis ton on Saturday night between two colored men in-which one was stabbed and died in ten minutes. The Columbia Phoenix, of "armed neutrality" fame, at last burst its cage, and went over soul and body to Cham berlain on Ney ember 1st. Joy go with it. The Charleston Sun has flickered a great deal lately, and we think has, at last, gone out. It was a bold well edited paper, and we miss its visits to our sanctum. A correspondent of tho Anderson Intelligencer on a visit in Democratic Georgia, says, that many colored schools are taught there by respectable white ladies. Hon. J. P. Reed, the Democrat, who is said to have been elected to Congress in 1868 over his Rcpulican opponent, has come out for Cham):crla:n. Doubt less he will soon hold a judgeship, or some other important office. Judge R. F. Graham of this Judicial circuit died at his residence in Char leston on Sunday night, November 1st, after an illness of only three days. His remains will be sent to Marion to bo interred in the family burying ground. The Anderson Intelligencer charac terizes Judge Cooks speech at Ander son on last Saturday as "made up of reckless assertions and bombastic as sumptionsrutteriy discreditable to his judicial position, and thoroughly par tisan in every respect." [communicated.] ICditor Orangeburg Times: It was our good fortune to have an invitation to a Sunday School Celebrn tion on Saturday, tho 24th instant. We got there about 10 o'clock and found a common school house in the pino forest, but every thing well ar ranged. Tho speakers stand was beuu fully decorated with wreaths of flowers by tho ladies hands. Everything was in such perfect order, and the pro gramme so well gotten up and carried out by the Secretary, Mr. J. R. Herb rand, and the Superintendent, Mr. D. O. Jeflcoat, aud all tho teachers and assistants, that too much praise cannot bo given them. We were told that this school was started there five years ago by a lady, aud has been go ing ever since, both winter and sum mer. Tho exercises began at 11 o'clock with singing and prayer by the Rev. Mr. Siflcy. After this tho speaking commenced by tho boys and girls, which was first rate. Tho order was as follows: "Introductory" by Master Conner Jeflcoat; "Wo are growing old," by Louisa Davis; "Our obligation" by Master Law ton Jeflcoat; "Our best wishes" by Miss Cornelia Williams ; "True Eloquence," hy% George Dnvis; "The better land" by Miss E Williams; "Vindication of South Carolina," by Master Dan Davis, which was fine ; "TompcraUco" by Miss A K. Jeflcoat; and "Liberty and Knowledge" by Master Asbury Pearson. The smaller ones then spoke and all did well. The Sccietary then nnnouc cd that Mastci Henry Phillips would deliver an address in behalf of his school, which he did to the satisfaction of all present. Rev, J. L. Silloy thon addressed thu pchool and gave much go?d advice. After this the Committee arranged the tables, and Mr. Editor, if you could havo seen into those baskets and hexes you would havo said it was a real feast of every thing good and nico that could be thought of. Every thing went off splendidly. We hopo Mr. Jeflcoat may live to carry on his good work for many years to come. P. [communicated.] Mr. Edito r :?In reply to 'Dr A. B.' in your issue of October l?tl?, "I must first and foremost" say, that his entire communication abounds in misrepre sentations, perversions of truth,(\vheth er purposely or through raistake I can not say) and has the undoubted ap pearance of having been written by a second party. "A, B." must have furnished the material and eome oue else reared tho fabric which, to say the least, has done him no good, either as regards his fairness in controversy or Christian charity. Ono thing, to my mind, and to others, is apparent: The writer of the first nrticle cannot be the author of the second, because the style is very different, and "A.. B." could not possibly have made tho mistakes which are found in this latter commu nication. "A. B." does-not pretend to be a Latin and Greek scholar, and yet has managed some way to get some Latin into bis recent 'production I If "A. B." is the author of the document bearing his name, he reminds me 'most awfully' of a certain divine who arose once to follow a minister of considera ble attainment in classical lore and! began by saying "I wish you to under stand that I never rubbed my head against a college wajl"?and then labored, with all his might, to make his audience believe him to be a pro found scholar. "A. B." pronounces all "allusions to I he Rev. Mr Hartley, and the Antioch church as false in tottf, ab iuitio, ad finem/' and brands it 'as a wilful false hood." He speaks of me as having lost my temper and usjng epithets of an improper character, and as casting dirt at my enemies. Pray tell me; in whose communication do you find the most angry and tempestuous epithets? He makes an admission which,thanks to Gon, I cannot make, viz:?He says I dischargod"dirtat my enemies," thus confessing that ho and hie Baptist friends are really my enemies. Is this a specimen of Baptist religion? I say once for all, I am not 'A. B.'s.' enemy nor am I an enemy to any of the bap tist people. I feel just what I said, in the conclusion of my sermon on Baptism, which discourse has brought down upon me tho anger of "A. B." and his friends, and which, according to his own statement, has made them my enemies,;"! love ntjfr baptiBt -broth ren, and give you nvy christinu greet ings." Nothing of this nature present ed itself in the reply to my sermon. "Do you understand r If my statements, in regard to the Rev. Mr. Hartley, are untrue why were the facts not. given ? The wife of a baptist brother said that Mr Hartley was sent foi; certificates to this elfect can be produced, if necessary. If it be false then the falsehood is not mine. Call not your friend a liar when com mon fact won't establish as truthful your assertions. In the same connec tion wc find these words: "That Barn well Union communion ; that slip of the tongue." Far better for "A. B." and his church, had he never made this remark, for I will now give the facts of the case, and the proof:?On tho 20th of August 3871,1 preached a sermon on the "Evils of the Tongue,", at Trinity Lutheran church, after which I gave an account of a very in teresting meeting which I had attend ed in Baruwell county, S. C,, and said, that the diderent churches were living and laboring harmoniously together, and communing together as Christians should. That day I dined at Captain H's., as did also a revered gentleman of the Baptist church, and, during the course of the evening, ho asked me some questions in reference to the ex pression: "Communing together," I then told him that I had been informed thnt the Rev. J. G. Williams of his church was administering the Lord's Supper to the Lutherans ard Metho dists. Not long after this, it reached my cars that the reverend gentleman was telling it around that, I had said I was mistaken, to which false rumor I replied iu these terms: "If Rov did say that, he said what is not cor rect, for I gave him the names of my informants/' I could not be mistaken in regard to this matter for several very reliable gentlemen, and ono of our own Ministers, told me thnt such was tho fact; and I now have a certi ficate from ono of those reliable men and can get a dozen others if I want' them. Ij ore it is:?"This is to certify that myself and wife arc members of tho Lutheran church in Baruwell county S. C, and did receive tho Lord's Supper from the Rev. Mr. Williams of the baptist church together with his members. C. Ehrhardt." Rev. Williams will not, and dare not, deny administering the communion to mcmbors of Pedobaptist churches.
