The returns were very slow in coming in last night, and at midnight the State vote bad beeo reported froa only 17 of the 34 boxes. The vote for county offices was reported ?ore promptly from a larger number of boxes, but the returns were not at all oonplete at midnight. Io this city the State vote was connted first and the resuit was announced about 10 3? o'clock, but the count of the county box was not completed QOtil after 6 o'clock this morning.

THINKS NOT Mr Editor : Of course the election will have been held wheo this is published, bot I beg- that yon allow it to appear in your columns In these days of perplexity I am in doubt as to how much injury a Christian should stand before the point of active resentment is reached I for one ieave the Old Testament out, tho' I believe everything chron? icled therein, and that the morals it points are high and ennobling, and that the Jewish historians were truthful and impartial, and from their writings we learn the character of God and the divinity cf Jesus Christ Our salvation begins with the new dispensation. We are reformers on the old school Peter abhorred the idea of returning to the law, and from it we are now freo Returning to the question : Jesus rebuked II is disciples for asking Him to call down vengeance upon the dwellers cf a certain village And again, when He entered Jerusalem riding the colt of an ass His adher ents were sufficiently numerous to clear the city of His enemies Even while dying He begged forgiveness for those who brought about His death If we consider the fact that He had the power to overwhelm His enemies we may faintly discern tho stupendous self control exerted and sacrifice made in order to set us an example And Stephen following that example prayed thus, *%Iay not | this sin to their charge " Pani also .offered many things and multitudes others were destroyed by the whelming flood of Satan's rage, and yet not one ha3 been recorded as having heaped curses upon their persecutors. And why I Because God so loved the world (not the church) that He gave His only begotten Son, &c, and they being His imitated Him. Were the crusaders right in trying to redeem the tomb of Jesus from pollution ? I thiuk not, for we all pity the error and smile at the fanat icism of their efforts We 6ay we are more learned now, and I asl:, are we ?

Have we the authority to avenge our wrongs ? "Vengeance is mine saith the Lord " If one induces a man to lay aside evil, evil is crushed and a man is saved ; now on the other hand, if it takes too much time and effort to accomplish along tha?- line shall we appeal to Ceasar and ?troy the man along with the evil ? It has been written that the mis? sionaries advised the razing of Pekin, I could not then believe it : shall I now ? I read of a bishop denouncing tbe j utterances of a statesman as lies and be j a slanderous liar. Is that bishop led j and controlled by the harmless and helpful spirit of God ? If he is there are j two effects produced by tbe same spirit He bas never affected me that way Jesus said God would t?end angel* to defend Him if He so requested His every wish would have been grati - j Sed whether wortiog pood or evil on i man. We credit Paul with good miracles, j why not then also with the power for j any kind of miracle. Shall we say I that God only gave him power to do j oood ? That would be unreasonable for I Jesus was able to do barm to men as j well as good and Paul most assuredly had His power, yet he OGver expressed I the faintest desire to use it for aveog- j iog injuries to himself or other Chris j tians.

James, Jr. Bishopville, S C NEWS^R?^rCHIN?. ! ._._ Washington, August. 28.-Seven communications came to Washingto ; from the United States officials i China today, but being without date in most eases the Government was b no meaos satisfied with the state c communications and the Cabinet meei ing held this afternoon gave tho large part of it3 attention to the problem c rectifying this state of affairs. Ev; dence? of interference with the mei j sages have accumulated to a pois j where the Government has determine ! to take ?iovs \3 establish channels of it ! own, and to employ thc rather cxprr: 1 sive device cr a mao-c-I-Tvar r-ivis, j between Shanghai ana Cbc Foo for th? j purpo.:? Either the New Orleans o j the Princeton wilt bc- ordered cn th; I duty. Meanwhile word corers tba j rapid progress is rinking rcitb the sbor j cable which is to connect iheie point j and it is believed that within a weel this means cf communication will b open. Three massages from Gen. Chaffei were received today and while they eas no direct light on the military eituatiot they were inferentially important. Oo< was as follows : "Taku, China-Adjutant General Washington : Siege battery not needed "Chaffee." This dispatch is in reply to ao io? j quiry sent some time ago to Gen. ChatJoe relative to the siege battery which was taken to Manillia, via Nagasaki, to bo sent to China if needed. TROOPS DIVERTED TO MANILA Announcement was received of the arrival of thc Garonne, with eight i companies of the 1st cavalry aboard, at Kobe, Japan, and a companion ship, with animals for the troopers. AD order was seot from here to the govern? ment's agents ac Kobe to divert tho cavalry and their animals from that port to Manila, instead of allowing j them to proceed to Taku, aocording to their origi?ial orders. Gen Cbaffee's ! statement that he needs no siege bat? tery, taken io connection with the diver? sion of the 1st cavalry, which was bound fer Taku, to Manila, seems to make clear that there is no iotcntion to enter into a prolonged campaign in China, such as would involve the usc of heavy artillery, or cf reinforcements in the shape of men and horses. Formal Negotiations Now Seem Probable. Washington, Aug 27 -After sev? eral days intermission in Chinese ad? vices tba government today received two dispatches which presumably bring its advices up to the most re? cent date. There* are indications that the principal delays in the Hues of communication are encountered between Tien Tsin and Pekin, a fact explainable by the newspaper advices that small bands of Boxers are opera ting on the line of communication of the campaign force Just such in? terference with the work of the sig? nal corps men was experienced by the United States in the Philippines and by Lord Roberts7 troops iu the Transvaal campaign. Usually these interruptions are very short, the marauders being1 driven off and the lines restored within a day or two. The fact that more than a week was covered by the last interruption gives rise to tho belief here that these attacks upon the lines of communica? tion by Boxers are more formidable than was euppoeed to oe possible, after the heavy losses inflicted upon them by tho international forces in ita advance The important dispatch of the day was ono from Minister CoDger, rela? tive to the military situation in Pekin. NO IMPORTANT MOVEMENT Washington, Aug 2Y -The depart ment of state makes public the fol? lowing dispatch from Minister Con? ger, received this morning: Taku, Aug 27. Secretary of State, Washington: No more important movements since last dispatch. Military to re? store order. No representative of the Chinese government encountered yet Several ministers of the tsung I li yamen reported in the city and are expected to appear soon. Gen? erals decide not to enter imperial palace, leaving it practically vacant Two thousand Germans arrived to dav. Mt Conger. This dispatch is undated, but from the fact that it mentions the arrival of German forces at% Pekin, which has not yet been reported from any other quarter, it is presumed to be of very recent origin. Unfortunately the dispatch lacked a date, the minister presumably not haviog yet received the department's instruction to include the date in the body of his dispatches. From inter? nal evidence the state department concluded that Mr Conger's message was certainly later than any official emanation from the Chinese capital. Mr Congers's reference to the arrival of 2,00U fresh Germans troops caused some surprise, no one apparently ! having closely watched the move I ments of the German contingent, ' which is now arriving with fairly i regular frequency in China, and : which consequent iv m?y be expected ; soon io equa; to numerical strength i the military contingents of anv ol the : European nations lhere represented A Significant statement in Minister ; Conger's dispatch is th at respecting ? the expected. appcarnr.ee i:i Pekin of i some cf thc members cf the Tsung li ; yamen A natural construction to be ! given to this statement is that these : ministers wish to undertake to re I present the Chinese government for ? maily in negotiations with the powers It having been found im possible up to this momeut, according to Mr Conger's statement; to meet any representative of the Chinese government in Pekin who was com petent to open negotiations, it may j be inferred that if these ministers j actually appear with proper creden ? tiais, one of the problems connected ? with the present difficult situation in ! China will be solved ! The War in South Africa.
