FRIDAY, NOVEMBER' 7, 18m lite Latest from the Front. i< i t h'.i\ ' As near as wo can, on going to puss, we give the probable results of the ballots tu Tuesday all over the country, . In New York, Kobiusnn, the regu lar Democratic nominee lor Governor .carries-the ? wo cities of Brooklyn and .Neyy York by about 20,000 majority, butC'oimll the Republican nominee probably carries the Stale outside <>l these-cities by 33,000 majority, giv ing . hjni a net majority of about 13, OOQ. 'ihe, wind* of i the rest of the Democratic State ti cket is said to be elected. Kelly received s me 40,000 votes in New York citj alone, thutiflfcur ing his he^ i ts desire, the defeat of Bubineon. Had Kelly's vote been ad ded to Robinson's, Cornell would have been defeated, by the same ma jority as the rest ol his ticket. The result of the election shows plainly that New York is a Democratic State and can be depended upon In Virginia the issue seems to have been betweeu the Debt Payers and Kepudintiouihts, in which the latter ate claimed to have been successful. iyiniylni.il 1 oe gi ne Democratic. Tho Democrats have elected a Mayor at Elizabeth, New Jersey, by 998 majority; and at St. Pauls, Min nesota, by 2,000 majority. The .result, on the r?hole, is i more cheering than we expected, and we don't believe, if we had had the in formation we now have, that wc would have written the firat sentence in the editorial headed "The Prospect*' in to-day's issue. , A Factory-in Orangeburg. T_ ? mat the prosperity ol the S Mth de pended on diversiiicd industries and small farms. We indulged then in generalities, but we desire to be more local. What wo want in Orangeburg is a Yarn Fuctory, and it is surprising considering its great benefits, the small capital required, and our pjcu liar advantages, that it has n >t long ago been established. Wo have the grounds the building to start with, and besides, this, it is prob ibly just now that the machinery may now be obtained at very reasonable rate'. The Agricultural- S ictety si n; time ago appointed a Committee ou the 'subject, but the capital required sit that time, wn pit at st'.eh h'gh figures thai it acte 1 as x dam > >r >ip mi the eutorpri-e. a.i 1 the Coii Hiitee ?I. nope.I thu matter; hutsiiiO^ this it has been shown by 1j0?v exp n iln.?n:s i'u.it not one thirl us miic'i in-oiov is required, Ia'?dl we u.ill up m Hh: n I ComiiMLtce'r-df a new C'mi uiti-a ?: {'..e.Jiwcieiy (6 ;..?> 10 wo.-ic :ig i i. N i (o.isV the thrillers, bill the ii-voi n (OUr town.would be incalculaby bene fited by (he establishment of a fac tory in increased traue, and prosperi ty. It will therefore be directly to their intorest to subscribe. Why should Ornngcburg be behind Greenville and other places in th e State? Let, stock bo put down at S?O per share so t)n;f men ??f moderate means, as well us the piore uble can take an inferest, and place the subscription books in the hands of an active can Yin-slur, und thu thing will bo accom plished. Having nt heart the prosperity ol the South, of our State and more especially of Graugebnrg County, we pnmestly appeal to the Agricultural Society to revive, this matter at their next q.eeting, and not let the subject drop until something practical is don , or in other wp.rds u,u.til t|\e F.iotory i3 a fixed fact- Depend upon it diver sified industry is the only road to prosperity fur the South. In order lhat our readers may un derstand the. new invention to which reference is made and appreciate its advantages and practicability, we take the follow ing description of it from the New York "Times:" "Another new process is being introduced into cotton manufacture which, if as represented, will produce an important change ?n the system of the .South, where by necessity it at present belongs. Too invention re for red to is known as the Clement A t inch men t, and its special function is to convert the cotton, an gathered, into yarn by one machine, theieby evading all the -additional expenses >f pressing, bagging, tied, transporta tion, commissions, storage, sampling, insurance an ' many other nein? thai add to the ? .t of tho raw cotton. The idea is to a.uke the producer a manu facturer of yum; or, better, make it practicable to establish factories in the neighborhood ofgrowtli Tne?v are six mills in operation under this system?two in South Carolina, three in iNorth Carolina and one in Corinth, Miss. The success of the mills in operation, the various descriptions of. the procea? and figures of actual operations leave no room to doubt the success attained. The Westmin ster, S. C, mill uses a small creek of six-horse power, a cheap frame build ing, the machinery a cotton cleaner. Clement, attachment, 300 spindle.-, two reels, a bunch and bale press cost, 83500; employs one superintend cut, seven girls and oue boy. The results for the first twelve in mihs were : 6l,o69 net piofita, which is a little ovei 33 per cent ou the ex.ien 1. iure, or 20 percent, on thu capital and current expense." Candidates. We arc often struck with the ex pressions from ihe press and else where that such and such men are candidates for this or that offi.-e, and it ir, tnkeu as a matter of course that thay are the only mea to be thought of iu this connection. In other words a man must iu some way make known his desire for a particular office in order to be taken up. This, to our mind, is altogether in opposition to the principle that all good men should eucourugc, that "tho office should seek the man and not the mau the office." The good people seen: to ?it down und unit until some political aspirant secretly and adroitly gets his name up for the office, and then, either through ignorance or indifference, they ac quiesce in what they imagine the popular cry. 1? is in this way that almost every office is lidcd. It is often argued that it ii useless to nominate a mau because be has never signified iu any way that he wants or would a cept the offiee. \Ve hnv*. n/v .^.o.'-- - ' ?? " ""'&" ments. It a man docs not want an office that is tendeied to him he can easily decline. In fact a sensitiv? man who is alwayi the most trustworthy is not apt to thrust himself forward as a candidate He keeps in the back grr.uu 1, and !eaves the people to make their own selection. The great trouble with our country is that the office-seekers obtam the olfioej. If a mau seeks an office, he. docs so for u selfish end, and not for the public good. Ht-uce the political corruptiou which degrades our laud, and we arc sorry to say it is encouraged by the ignorance or indifference of good peo pie. If cen vent ions would go to work and select men for office not on account of'heir prominence or cituli ttacg. but altogether ou account of their fitness, a much desired reform would be inaugurated in our Ian 1. As a gen ral thing candidates should be avoided. Zack Chardier Gone. The death of this leader of the Republican pnity nnel unrelenting foe of the South, on Saturday, was rather unexpected news, lie spoke, tu an in ineute audience in Chicago on Fiidi.y night and went to bed compluining a little of indigestion. The next morning he was found dead in bis bed. He was Senator from Michigan at the time of his death, ami Secretary of the Interior under Graut, Our Marl Beds It was a rather curious discovcrv to us on lending an old Charleston "Mercury," I earing date August 23, 1843, ai.d it may interest our agricul tural fri? lids, that at thai early date the Black t)a*> Agricultural Society passed a resolution, oflering a silver medal ?s a toward to the farmer wh > would experiment and demonstrate the practical Util ty of our muri de posits as a manure. We n pi educe this bit of history to show that tits idea of utilizing these deposits was not altogether of recent dato an some may suppose. The subject was agitated 40 years ago. -7~. Rail Hoad Fares. Why do our Kail roads charge euch high fares,? There must be a reason for it, but we have not been able to fiud a satislactory one our selves. Orangeburg is only 79 miles from Charleston ami yet it costs 87 to go there and return. How can a merchant with small capital pay this nmount every time he wants to visit this city ? He will stay at homo and order goods from drummers. But >\ I'otever >t; e reieon, we do know one ordwo facts; 1 lu the fust place; while the fares me -o high, very few people travil^ und if they were reduce I thero would le mucH more traveling, and the Railroad would make a great deal more money, lor it hardly costs more to carry 100 passengers : It'll U six; und the trains are obliged to run eveiy day it there is only one pas b> nger to carry. A railroad official on one of the roads leading into Charleston says that on an average not more than six peisotis travel o i the rogular daily pusseuger trains of that road. We have often seen trains with less than that number. In the second place, every body knows that as soon as the fares are reduced lor excursions, hundreds crowd the trains, and the railroads and the city of Charleston reap a harvest which they would never do O herwise. We saw a lew (.'ays ago a returu ticket issued by the G. & C. R. K. good f< r 8 days f'tom Kewbeiry to Charleston for on?3 fare. Why can't the S. C. K. R. do thesnme? Why limit the time from Saturday to Mon day morning? The occasional cheap rates and eiowded trains prove con clusively wb it Charleston loses by high rates Will not our esteemed cotcmpor ! arv the C hat lesion '-News und Cour ier," with its wide circulation and powerful influence, for the good of Charleston and the people of the Stnlo generally, aid us in our eflorts to bring about this much desired and, we think, reasonable reform? The Prospect. It must be admitted that unldss a gi eat change takes place, the nation!^ j respect lor 1880 is by no nnbagBj cheorin.tr. - 'n'? . ". ? * ' ' *?r?*^* Ixepublican politicians seem to have been successful in making a Solid North. The presence of Confederate Generals in Congress has been taken as a battle cry to excite the belief among the Northern masses that the South contemplated the capture of lite governineut. Concil atiou ami a generous policy and friendly spirit on their part was of no avail. Bitterncs* is preferred. The fact is, as we have often thought ami said, the best and quickest WAy for the Souih to I ccome independent is t> have less to do with politic ami look more to internal improvement and material piogress. Make good crops, and diversity our industry and polities will take care of itself. Old Zack's List Speech. On the day of the night that ( handler died he made one of his venomous Speeche* in Milwaukie, in which he belched ioith a - tirade of abuse upon th^ South, John C. Cal-' houu and every hing South of Masou and Dixon's line. Among other things he said "the greatest mistake we ever made was in not hanging enough of lliese tehels to make trea son forever odi ,us." He has now go..o to his last nc count, and us God has laid His hand on, it is well for man to take his off. ? MM ? Ike In Trouble [For the Ormgeburg Time?.
