The recent successes of the Repub licans in Indiana and Ohio liave de veloped some shrurp practices which it becomes -the Democrats to consider and to moot them. Since countiug t the votes, it has been discovered that | jjear ibweuly thousand negroes bad .Jbean Sported into Indiana and Ohio, >?o? that in many counties t here weve more votes in the box titan there wove voters in the counties. In one county in Indiana the excess of votes o>er the number of male adults, over twenty-one 3-enrs of oge, was nearly five thousand. By the recent telegrams, accident ally falling into the hands of Chair man Bornum, it has been dis covered that the Republicans propose to overrun Floiida, and, perhaps, other Southern Spates, with repeaters ?from Northern cities with the hope of securing the electoral vote for Gar iield and Arthur. Such practico is common at the North rmong Repub licans, as are all other frauds and low political schemes. They were in troduced into South Carolina during "the days of negro supremacy. Voters 'were transferred from one preeinct to another to suit the emergency of the 'occasion, or were instructed to repeat 'at as many voting places as they could reach. To prevent the Indiana frauds from being repeated there and in many other states and the impoitation of Northern repeaters to Southern States to cany the election by fraud, becomes tbo duty of the Democratic party on next Tuesday. What is true of Stales and counties is equally true of individual precincts, and watcblulppss on the part of election managers ynay save the county. The opposition, with which we have to ?deal \a cunning, dishonest and will stoop to any rascalities that will serve their purposes best. In Or angebuag Buliver, Webster aud Liv ingston lead it and their purpose is to carry the election "by fair means if they can, but if not, by some other other." Our Work. The last stage of the campaign is now reached. By mass meetings, and' public speaking the Deoiociaoy of| Oraugol qrg baye been aroused, the voters have been excited to the prop er enthusiasm and the party under Ihe admirable organisation of Capt. S. Dibble stands a unit all over the county. This, however, will not car ry the election or continue democrat ic rule in Orangcburg ; and if nothing innre be done, the race so auspicious ly begun and sue" essfully conducted to die present point, will end in a hopeless defeat on Tuesday. The re maining days are pregnant with great ruppuiibibillies ami event3 ,to every democrat in the county and should be giv'en ilp to quiet and determined in dividual*1 ctTort. Much tbun yet be done if every Democrat will go to ftork and do his full duty lo bis par ty, his country ami his laniily. Let every sacrifice be made and w\tb an indomitable courage lcl every man Address himself lo the t::sk before him. Our people should realize the fact that voles must be carried other than those polled directly by Demo crals. This, and nothing else, should be tbo work from now until six o'clock on next Tuesday evening. Voles we must have, anil can only be bad by Curncst and persistent work on the part of every Demount in the coun ty. Let every man vote himself and determine \o tarry another with him, ami tho woik is done?victory won tiiUi democratic rule perpetuated. This is >iot impossible, indeed noth ing is, to a people determined lo be free. ' Our CoiTgros6rnan. No manias ever been move true to ibc'truat reposdd in h i in. tunn Mr. tM. V. O Concor in discharging hisollleiul duties os a member of the United .states Congress. This is espcccially t^uc with regard to hid colored con stiluehts and wo are glad t<Tsep them taking steps to acknowledge tins ob ligation to him in the Freed man's Saving Bank matter. Thousands of dollars of their hard earnings and sa vings have been stolen frojn thorn by the Republican party a?d, if they ev er get their stolen money back, it will bo through the untiring efforts of Mr. O'Connor. E. W. M. Mnckey is a Republican and differs not a whit in moral character from the men who perpetrated the theft. This tho col ored voters of the Second Congress ional District know and will so de clare on next Tuesday at the polls. Our wbtte citizens cannot afford lo allow Mr. O'Connor to be defeated, because thcit interests, so faithfully cared for by him, will, in that event, fall into the hands of Mnckey, a man who places greater stress upon party affiliation and obligation than upon personal honor or (he interest of his constituents. Therefore, whilst we rally around our State and County tickets let us not forget the Congress ional candidate. Let victory be in scribed upon our banners all along the line. The Slate Fair. Our readers will bear in mind piat the Twelfth Annual Fair of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society will be held in the city of Columbja on November 9 to 12. All entries should be made lo Secretary Hollo way, at Columbia, either in person or by letter by the firs', of November with a view to have proper places as signed for articles, stalls for horses and cattle, pens for sheep, goals and swine, and coops for poultry. An en trance fee of 82 i3 required on all en tries except in Ihe household, needle I and rancy and art departments exhi bited by the ladies. In addition to tue very liberal premium offered by the Society, the Board of Trade of Columbia will supplement the amount by a list of premiums of S3?0 lo he paid in gold ; subject, however, to the rules and regulations of the Society. Among the premiums thus offered we notice a premium of 810 each for llie finest hoy and gill baby under twelve months. We hope Orangeburg will compete successfully for the ?20. The distinguished orator and states man, Hon. D. W. Yoorhecs, United States Senator from Indiana, is to deliver the annual address. Tho Meeting at Gleatons. Editors Oranyeburg Democrat: The following resolutions were unanimously adopted at a meeting of the Easteilin's Mill Democratic Club, held on the 23d instant. Resolved, That we as law abiding and peaceful citizens hereby deprecate the recent difficulty in this county at Gleaton's precinct in which one Caesar Harrison was accidentaly shot. Resolved, That the Masses of the democratic party deplore the accident and hold themselves blameless'for its occurrence, and that they will do all in their power to ptocure order throughout the County. Resolved,, That as a token of our sympathy in behalf of the suid Caesar Harrison we take up a contribution from this club, and forward the amount lo him us soon as practicable and recommendother democratic clubs throughout the Country'to do like wise. Resolved, That these resolutions be 'published in the County papers. On response to the third resolution a cash fund of ten dollars was raised instanter, and Mr. N. M. Stdloy Sr. appointed to take the amount to the wounded man. It is proper lo state that only twenty members of the club were present, or no doubt, a lar ger amount would have bjen raised. The cause of the difficulty which I wave rise lo the foregoing resolutions uie these: A white man who had im-, ,hi bed loo fieely of mean whiskey got (engaged in a quarrel with a negro [dining iiie preliminary arrangements! I between the radicals and democratic ! lenders l?r a joint discussion at Glea ton's poll on the 23d instant. Who the nggrc'Ssoi was in llie quarrel I do not l>now. TJio white man drew his pistol and presented it at the negro, who gave back in a defiant a.id threat ening manner! Mr. Winfield Chiik who was close by lushed'upon the while , man, seized him around the ' waist anil endeavored to drag him out j ol Iho'crowd, when bot h' fell to the j ground. It was during tho s niggle j w hieb followed that the pistol was dis i charged. Mr; Clark in his efforts lo I wrench the pistol Iron) the itit\n held , his knuckles ground in the dust, whyi) by some means the pistol was dis charged, the ball taking effect in the I thigh of Caesar Harrison, who had nothing lo do with the fracas. I During the melee, and while Mr. Clark held his man, a burly mulatto, I who after wards gave his name to the writer us .1 'tics, s'ruck the man Mr. jciatk held, several severe blows, beaiing the skm Ironi his checks and inflicting an ugly contusion beneath one eye. The negro w ho struck these blows was the one w\io bad quarreled with the while man. He perpetrated two falsehoods ubout tbo affair before be left the ground. No. 1, was that he struck the white man twice while ho held the pistol presented at him, be struck him after be was seized by Mr. Clark. No. 2, was that the white man, aflcr lie got on the ground raised bis arm soveral feet in a hori zontal position and fired. The pis tol was discharged while the knuckles of tbo man who held it were ground in the dust. These facts cap be established by Messrs Winfleld Clark; G. Lawrence Sallcy, Aliek S. Eastcrlin, and as many colored witnesses. Pavsan. Fork of ISdisto, Qct, 2G, 1880. A Card.
