THE CONTESTED ELECTION.

Many OF our readers will bo anxious 10 learn
what has been accomplished in the contested eec-
.tion from this District, in the way of answering
charges preferred against managers aud Others
and We would state therefore, for the qualification
OF friends generally, that the Democratic members
returned to Columbia on Monday last, prepared 10
pe.: these unfounded charges with abundant tes-
ti,noay. About one hundred and fifty afidavits
we're obtained in the short time allowed to meet
these charges, and each one is specific answer,
either to the alleged frauds in the election, or by
persons said to be disfranchised. 1t is proper to
add that the rsckessness of these charges is fully
shown and their absurdities exposed BY convn-
cling proof, including the facts that one man had
been dead for fourteen years, three others moved
out of the District several years ago, and many
others did not register at ALL besides similar evil
dence in regard to the majority of tho persons
alleged to be illegally registered

MYsTERIoUs DISAPPEARANCE.

About two weeks ago, notorious negro glri
named Mary disappeared from this community.
Several days elapsed before the fact became known
to the white people generally, and then there were
the widest rumors afoat regarding her fate, such
as her last appeals for mercy being heard by other
negroes in the direction of Rocky River, &c. The
greater part of last week was spent by parties
dragging the river for her body; cast-of clothes
were identified, and any amount of tho verest
nonsense relied upon by many of the negroes. tn
the meantime the missing girl had been discovered
at Walballa, and although reliable persons have
asserted positively that they knew and recognized
her at that place, many negroes doubted the test-
mony, and on Saturday night last, one OF their
number was sent there to ascertain the correctness
of the report, if possible. He came back on Mon
day morning, and reported that he had actually
seen and conversed with her; that she refused to
come back here, and that there was no doubt about
her actual existence on terra frma Notwithstnnd-
ing this positive etatement from their chosen rep
resenaive, his story was disbelieyed, and we have
heard it asserted by negroes that he was eribed
to make such report. This incredulity on their
part is unaccountable, and even beyond compre-
hension. The affair has created much excitement
in this community, and there are reasons to believe
that designing persons, either white or black,
have kept alive the fame of discord and dissatis-
faction among the negroes, to suit their own mis-
chiovous purposes.

THE M1ss1ss1Pp1 ELECTION

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Times says that Gen. Gilem's official report of the
election in Mississippi was received at army head
quarters from Major Tyler, of Gen. Gilem's staff,
who was detailed to bring it TO Washington. The
report shows l55, Sol voters registered, aud 100
O9l votes cast on the ratification of the Constitu-
ton, of which 56,23l we're for ratification, and
GO, 800 against-making majority of 7,G29
against. Humphries, The Democratic candidate
for Governor, was elected by about the came ma
jority, and four Democrats and one Republican
were elected to Congress. Gen. Gllem expresses
the opinion that the election was fairly conducted
and that it was as free from intimidation or the
influence of fraud as could be expected under e1-
listing circumst ances.

GRAND RATIFICATION MEETING IN CHARLES
TON.


The Charleston papers of Saturday contain
elaborate accounts of grand Democratic demon
stration in that city on Friday night. The at
tendance was by thousands, and there was i'm
mense enthusiasm. Speeches were made by Gen.
HAMPTON Hon. ]. B. CAMPBELL, Col. SIMoNroN
Judge ALpnIcH and others. The speech of HAMp-
TON seems to have been the event of the evening"
and was worthy of that renowned soldier and un-
selfish patriot Tho main object of the speakers
was to give an account of their stewardship as
delegates to the National Convention. General
HAMPTON, in the course Of his speech, gave the
history of the Democratic platform, and aVowed
the authorship of that famous plank, which says
"And we declare that the Reconstruction Acts are
unconstitutional, revolutionary and void" This
is the koy-note tue PLATFORM SO far as the South
is concerned, and we are glad TO know that 1t
emanated from South Cardinals greatest warrior
and best beloved son.
We congratulate the people of Charleston upon
this suspicious move in the right direction. AL
though far behind tho up-country especially, both
in organization and solid achievements, We trust
that Charleston will be soon redeemed, regenera-
ted and disenthralled."

a WORD TO DUB FRIENDS.

There are now fifteen or twenty Democratio
Climbs in this District. embracing the greater por-
t;on of onr best citizens and intended to advance
thu cause of constitutional liberty, and ASSIST IN
perrpetuating the government of our fathers upon
.hs basis of equal and exact justice to all men
To accomplish this work thoroughly the people
generally must be we'll informed upon the great
;ssues Of the day, and there is no surer method
.han by placing in every mans hand reliable
vehicle of intelligence. We suggest to our friends
therefore, that they will advance the interest OF
Democracy, and aid in building up newspaper in
.hs District whose course is Independent and out
spoken, at least, by urging upon every member OF
.he Democratic Clubs the necessity and proprlety OF
subscribing for the Intsllgencer. In almost every
neighborhood, there are persons who are not sub
acribers to any newspapers. and whose knowledge
Of affairs generally depends upon others better IN
formed, or upon the chance of borrowing paper
now and then. Every one of these men can be
induced to subscribe and it will require very lit
iIo effort ct the various club meetings to obtain
,;st Of subscribers Will not our friends, In every
section of the District make it point to urge this
matter upon the attention of Democrats, and en-
deayor to extend the circulation of the lntel9eneeT
in.order that we may be enabled to furnish pa
per worthy Of the Democratic party? The CLUB
rates Of subscription wilh be found elsewhere.
