Tim Hurley Declares for Bates.
We call the attention Of our readers to the
card OF Mr.. Timothy Hurley in another column OF
TIE NEWS, this morning, In which he informs the
Republican voters OF this county that he will vote
| for Mr. Edwin Bates, the Reform candidate for
the Senate, and he advises all his friends to do
| the same.
The Ballot-Boxes.
We are Informed by one the commissioners OF
election for Charleston County that, Immediately
upon the closing OF the poll this evening, the
managers are directed to bring the ballot.bo1es
to the Courthouse, where they will be deposited
In the courtroom. Proper precautions will be
taken for an efficient custody, which shall be
satisfactory to all parties. We are further in
formed that the commissioners desire that o
special committee OF four watchers from each
party shall be appointed, whose duty 1t shall
be to remain at the Courthouse, with the
ballot.bo1es, from the moment when they are
Tuesday next, the time OF counting. 1t is i'm
portant that this committee should be appointed
| at once.
Intimidation. r
| 1t is stated that on Monday night number OF
Scott negroes went through the upper wards tell
| ing the colored men there. that II they dared to
vote for Carpenter and Butler they should be
killed. They said that they were armed, and II
the whites troubled them they would "go
| through" the whites In no time
We know OF some colored men who are afraid
protected by white men, In whom they have con.
fdence. This must be looked after. The Reform
ers must take care that every coored man ls free
to vote as he chooses This is not 1868.
Mnckey's RnIlyers.
Weare informed that Mr.. T. J. Mackey has Or.
ganized corps OF "Rallyers for Ward ." who
will wear badge, and whose duty 1t will be to
offer DeLarge Radical ticket TO every voter as
he approaches the polls. Now there may be as
much intimidation III the manner OF "ofrerlng"a
ticket to timid colored man as in knocking him
over the head with stick. 1t Is necessary, there
fore, that these "Mackey Raiiyers" should be
closely watched, and turned over TO the United
States marshal II they do anything which has the
effect OF constrainlng the voters to accept par
tlcular ticket
Keeping Order.
To prevent any conflict OF authority, we are
requested to state that order at the polls will be
solely under the control OF the United States
deputy marshals. ANY disturbance there COM
mitted will he an offence against the United
States, and will! he punished in the United States
Court
