Democratic majority, 4,dzS
The result in the State is given by the Charles
ton Neps of Monday last as having gone for The
Republicans by nearly 10000 votes, being gain
of 10000 for the Democracy upon the election in
April last. This shows that little more e1crtion
and an unanimous vote by the Democrats would
have carried South Carolina, as large numbers
evidently kept away from the polls in several Dis
tricts Although the majority in this District is
truly gratifying, are satisfied that there are ut
least three hundred white men who did not vote
Further comment is totally unnecessary, but we
want to impress the fact that We have lost the vic
tory in this State by the lukcwarmness and indif-
ference of the white mea.
Of the general result in the United States, it is
sufficient to know that Gen. GRANT receives nearly
two.tbirds of the electoral vote. We publish to-
day some striking comments upon the result and
curious predictions about the President elect, and
if these calculations be true, the incoming admin
istration is more likely to defeat the extremists of
the Radical party than the Southern people have
been led to expect. We can only be patient, and
time vii! develope facts and not fancies.

Cold, with almost constant Cough and sore chest.
aPraetioe mskes perfect" the proyerb Gays, but
the more Icoughed the worse did it By what
then considered an ccident, but now believe 10

Wrehts Tar Syrup, purchased from you, and
was greatly relieved in two days, wholly cured in
ten. 1t is not unpleasant to the taste, which is
good point. Many years ago, reading my way
through an old library, came across the works
of that Bishop Berkely, who prophetically and
truly declared, more than q century ago, that
Westward the march of Empire takes its way"
and among these were two treaties in which he
strongly advocated the use of Tar, as curative OF
many diseases from Catarrh to the plague. /
was then struck with the cogeney of the good
Bishops arguments, and am now sure--from the
efficacy OF DIR. Wright's preparation Of the sam
remedy-that they entirely correct.

The General Of the Army"

Some years ago the people of the United
States got along very well without "gener-
al of the army At that time even lieu
tenant general was not considered indispen-
sable to the efficiency of the governments
military arm. A few old fogy major gener
ais managed to perform all the duties re-
quired in this department. and even they
were regarded little less than pompous puis-
ances and a burden on the treasury.
A general of the army is just as useless
an officer now as he would have been twenty
years ago. The Office and the officer might
be abolished today and nobody would miss
either. The salary paid is disproportionase
to the services performed and simply serves
TO maintain one pensioner on the treasury in
ostentatious and luxurious Incidence. hc-
cording to the army register just published
Gen. Grant draws from the treasury four
hundred dollars per month, and forty rations
per day valued at $3.50 per month, and is
allowed four servants at an additional eos
of 1926 per month, besides $50 with which
to forage his horses. The assertion is made
and generally credited that the entire salar,
of this Office the past year amounts to more
than that of the President of the United
8 tates-the highest civil officer of the gov
eminent and the executive head of the ma
ton.
Doubtless something is due to public mel
by way of gratitude for noted services il
counsel or in the field But no man of com
mon sense in this age of the world will den
that long and able service of the country i
civil positions requires more generous re
cognition THAI brief and temporary service
however brilliant, at the head of an army
Again, if it has become recognized rule i
the United States to support public servant
in luxury as a reward for the discharge {
official duty in the past, it would be bette
to appropriate them sufficient sum direc
from the treasury and get rid Of them by
single act of congress. If we are to folio
the contrary rule and make permanent pei
siouers of every man who happens to acquir
transient popularity, the people will 500
find themselves paying more taxes to glor
than for the current expenditures of the GO
arppauf

"BEST CITIZENS"

The Union says "some of our best citi-
Gems have blushed" at the incompetent men
elected to Office by the democrats in this
city. We hardly think a comparison of the
merits of the men running on the two tickets
this year, would result in any great advant
age to the Unions ticket. Who are sour
best citizens ?" Perhaps we should differ a
little from the Union on that point. Ac-
cording to our idea, the "best citizen is a
man one who will condemn the wrong, in
friend or foe man whose conscience is as
steady as the needle to the pole: man who
will stand for the right, though the heavens

Radicalism was awfully scared in the
house of Representatives at Washington, on
Thursday. The speaker submitted COM
munieation from the superintendent of the
Metropolitan Police, New York, stating that
five cans of nitroglycerine had been purchas-
ed in that city, amounting to about 145
pounds, which had been shipped to Wash
ington, and he was afraid it was intended 70
be used in blowing up the Capitol. The
poor RAIDS were scared nearly out of their
boots, and much confusion ensued, amidst
which motions to adjourn were very promi-
nent. Quiet was, at last, restored. The
RAIDS were only anticipating the blowing up
they deserve, and will get, next fall.
