ELECTION EA crs AND nUuoRs.

The feeling in the city yesterday was decid-
edlymore cheerful. 1t dawned upon the people
that what had been gained by the Reform move
ment could have been won In no other way, and
that, whether we elected the State ticket or not,
the back Of Radicalism was broken. With from
forty to nifty Reformers in the lower House Of the
General Assembly, and With eleven Refofmers in
The Senate, Scott and his Ring can be so muzz'ed
that they win not steal any more. Besides this,
we have made the nrst step In educating politi-
cally the colored voters OF the State, who, up to
this time, had been guided By their passions
rather than their reason. What we need now is
toghold the people together, to maintain our or
ganizatien, to show bold front to the enemy
wherever we ind him. This will enable the Re-
formers to use their strength TO the best pur-
pcsa and to seize every opportunity OF reform
Ing in sl..:" things as well as large. the govern
ment Of the Sta:e.
Our own estimate 2t the result of the elections
will be found in another place, but it is proper to
say here that the Radicals claim the State by
about 10000 majority.
Mr.. TIN HURLRY's ESTIMATE.
Mr.. Timothy Hurley's estimate Is as follows:
Radical majority In the State. $4,000; In Charles
ton County. 1000; General Butler several thous-
snd ahead Of his ticket. '-
Charleston County.
Taking into account the large majority Of the
Reformers in Charleston City, and the vote cast
IN the parishes for the DeLarge ticket this "ounty
can hardly give the Radical State ticket more
than 5000 majority. The county ticket Is still in
doubt, and many OF our friends claim that the
split between DeLarge and Bowen has elected the
Reform candidates for the Legislature.
HuRLEY's HANeUvRE.
At the Hurley Convention, In the Bowen inter.
est, the Msckeys declared their adhesion to the
regular ticket and there was general restora.
ton Of confidence. Mr.. A. NJ. MacSey was put
upon the ticket as school commissioner, and
peace reigned supreme. A little later, however,
the Bowenites came to the conclusion that the
Hackeys were not playing fair, and Timothy
Hurley was put to II 70 clrcumvene them.
second edition OF the regular Bowen ticket was
got out for use in the county outside OF the city.
Upon this ticket. the following substitutes were
made: For the Legislature, Reuben Tomlinson
instead Of O. r. Levy; for county commissioner,
- Reed Instead Of F. c. Miller; for school
commissioner N. Emory instead OF A. NJ. Mackey;
for coroner, E. Ii. Whiting instead OF A. R Taft.
This ticket was given out as the regular ticket,
and the Bowenites assert that Messrs. Tomn-
BON, Emory, Reed and Whiting, with the rest OF
the Bowen ticket, are undoubtedly elected.
FOR CONGRESS.
The reports Of the result OF the contest between
Bowen, and DeLsrge are yely conflicting. Both
sides claim the victory. /; Is considered certain
that DeLarge has made a strong run. but Bowen
Is thought to have the better chance of coming
out ahead In the official count.
