THE ELECTIONS AND TIE STATE
FINANCEs.-There has beena marked
rise in the quotations of South Caro-
lima State securities in this city, since
the announcement OF the result of
the recent elections. State bonds

however. are unsoleable. as the op-

1t is patent that party leaders ex-
press themselves regarding the pro-
posed change of candidates, that it is
unwise, impracticable. and equiva-
lent to disbanding the Democratic
forces. Ii change is made, it will
be in obedience to the absolute with
drawal by the candidates of the De.
mocratic Convention. They say the
official count is necessary to decide

We give, under our tsEegraphic
bead, says the Savannah Republican,,
of the 14th, all the election news
received up to the time of going, to
press. 1T appears that the fear of
another Southern rebellion has tri-
.timphed for the time, About the
only argument used by the radicals
yes, that the Southerners were nor
ribly prosecuting the negroes and
loyal whites-would re-enslave the
former and drive out or hang the
latter, in case of Democratic tri-
umph, and that they were preparing
to send the leaders Of the late rebel
lion to Washington to inaugurate o
renewal of past troubles. Utterly
destitute of truth as oil these allega-
tions are, the Northern people be-
lieyed them and voted accordingly-
many of them, we are convinced,
with but little love for the radical
party. They were made to believe,
by the most devilisii ingenuity of
perversion and downright lying, that
the radicals, bad as they were, must
retain power, or the Government
itself go by the board.
Well, be it so. Tie triumph of
falsehood, in the economy of God, is
but short-lived. Lies always return
to plague their inventors. The
golden prizes won by such means
seldom fail to turn to ashes in the
hands of the victors. Truth will
finally prevail, and then comes the
day Of punishment for its enemies.
We are by no means prepared to
regard these elections as decisive of
the Presidential contest. Three
weeks can shed q flood of light upon
the minds of honest men-and we
are disposed to regard the great body
of the Northern people as honest
and demonstrate the frauds by which
they have been cheated and betrayed.
This done, the reaction will be as
tremendous as the guilt of this cleo
tion is atrocious. And then, the De-
mocrats, while they made a glorious
fight, we have reasons to know, were
sparing of their means, wisely re-
garding it as economy to reserve
their strong hand for the great final
struggle. They now have full view
of the field, know the actual strength
of the enemy, and the effort that will
be required to defeat them in No
vember. Reasoning from the past,
they will be equal to the crisis. The
Presidential election has often gone
adverse to the verdict rendered in the
State contests which Immediately
preceded it, and in this fact they may
find additional ground for encourage
ment.
Our friends in the South should
lose neither faith nor nerve from
these untoward results. They should
redouble their efforts to give all the
Southern States to the Democratic
candidates. and especially should
they demonstrate by their exemplary
conduct and moderation of speech
that the ground upon which this ad-
verse vote has been cast has no exist
ence except in the wicked hearts Of
their traducers.

Banner in South Carolina Still
Proudly Viewing.
We learn that agreeably to public
notice, Democratic mass meeting
was held at Lancaster Court House,
on the 14th instant. A number of
both sexes and both classes assem-
bledin the Court House yard. A
piece of artillery, left by Gen. Sher-
man, was made to contribute to the
occasion, end rs voice was heard at
intervals. The exercises of the meet
ing were opened with prayer by the
Rev. Mr.. Craig. The President of
the meeting then introduced Col. J.
P. Thomas, who, for one hour and q
half, received the attention of the au-
dience, whilst he discussed the ques-
tions Of the canvass and urged the
people to stand firmly by the cause
of the, Democracy. Next followed
able and effective addresses from W.
A. Moore, Esq, Rev. D. P. Robin
son, VIM. Black, Esq, and Col. J.
D. Wylie, all of Lancaster District.
The meeting ended harmoniously,
and itIwas thought that good i'm
preston was made upon the colored
people present.
On the next day, the 18th instant,
the citizens at Rock Hill, and the
vicinity, met and invited Col. J. P.
Thomas to address them. The meet
ing convened at about 10 o'clock, and
DR.. Walker, the Chairman of the
Democratic Club, introduced Col
Thomas, who responded in On adj
dress of some duration. After dis
cussing the questions before the coun-
try. alluding to the outrages, follies
and eytravagances of radicalism, and
exposing the monstrous character of
the Reconstruction Acts of the radi-
cal Congress, Col. Z. urged q gene
rous rally of the conservatives of the
State under the Democratic flag, and
advised unrenitting effort and cease
less activity until the sun sets on the
Sd of November next. ''In victory
or defeat" said he, "let the people
be faithful to the cause of the Ma
"a, 49, .
tional Democracy, and if the worst
should come, then let us adopt the
proud sentiment that defeated De-
mocfacy is better and nobler
thing than q triumphant radicalism
Sponer or later the cause of the De-
mocracy is bound to prevail. Let lis
be firm and faithful. Let us illus
trate the proposition of Horace:
"The man of firm and noble soul,
No factious clamors can control.
No tyrant's darkling rage
Can swerve him from his just intent"
And the people approve these SEN
timents, and will be loyal to the
cause and fight the campaign out.
Let the columns remain steady.

had diverse days have agreed to ac-
