HOW TO WIN THE FIGHT.
From the Barnwell Journal.]

ltrOm the BaTnWcu JouTuai.J
The colored vote of this district Is about
three thousand, while the whites poll about
two thousand. II six hundred colored men
vote the Reform ticket 1t can be carried In the
district. There are twenty-four townships, so
that leaves twenty-five colored men in each
township who must vote the ticket In order to
insure Its success, provided the whites oil turn
out, and the latter is q serious consideration.
The white people of the district have become
80 dlsgusted with the way things have gone
since the war, that they have lost all interest
In political affairs, so that we very
much fear that they cannot be aroused
to the fact that by little exertion on
their part the Radicals can be beaten In the dis
trict. The latter are hard at work; are tho
roughly organized, and are going to do all In
their power from now until the day of election
to Insure their success. We cannot be success
full by looking on and see them act. We must
60 to work ourselves, and work hard. Every
white citizen in the district should, and we
trust will. take lively interest in the election,
and do all in their power to convince the
colored people that the Union Reform party OF
South Carolina is not fighting against Demo-
Gratis or Republicans, but is only laboring TO
secure an honest administration, who will
show Justice to all, regardless Of race, color,
or previous condition. We know you will
find it hard to make the colored people be-
lieve anything you say, but perseVere until the
day Of election, and, our word for 1t, If the
colored men are properly approached, and the
whites all turn out, we Will carry the district
by handsome majority

"A Washington dispatch to the New York
Tribune says: "The manner in which partisan
telegrams from the South have been manufac-
tured and published in the North, to further
the personal designs of INSCRIPTIONS and am-
bilious men, was well shown up in the devel-
opments brought out in reference to the Wasll-
ington Chronicle during the progress of the
recent Georgia investigation. Th same game
is now going on in connection With the inter-
nal affairs Of other Southern States. It is be-
lieved that the ensuing elections in the South
will result, in some instances, not perhaps in
the defeat of the Republican party, but in the
defeat of certain individuals who are and have
been using that party as means only to their
own selfish advancement. Foreseeing this,
the effort is to get up an excuse to declare
martial law, and local newspapers in the in
terest of the men alluded to are teeming with
accounts of outrages. This is particularly the
case in North Carolina, and no surprise need
be felt st a daily dish of horrors from that
State, served up in the Chronicle, for, said
one of the North Carolina senators, we intend
to use the military, and, in justification, we
must get these statements disseminated
through the North.'"

sure and duty, the little warfare fought out
under the watchful eyes Of tattling d0wagers
and lmpertinent fribbles. And then comes the
inevitable decay. 1t is easy to turn from the
glass, but it is impossible 10 turn from the
eyes that surround one. and every eye be-
man reads the wreck of her charms. Young.
er rivals pass her by, the circle Of
adorers thins to q few bores and old
beauX, men treat her to second rate stories, or
talk with their eyes fixed on another corner of
the room. There is shade Of impertinence
in the address Of the young guardsman; wall.
flowers claim her for their own. She has lived
for year or so, and her whole existence is a
mere looking back to that year OF life. Or it
may be that her prettiness simply passes
on from phase to phase, but even the prettiness
of thirty-fve. fascinating as it often is, seldom
fascinates It's possessor. She conquers new
realms, but she fails to reconquer the old.
She brings gushing undergraduates to her feet,
her desk Is stuffed with the lyrics Of unwhis-
kered Strephons, but there is a terrible iro-
ny about it ALL and she turns with sense
testations. She is beaten, and she knows
It, strephon has done enough II he has
served to cover her retreat. Perhaps the
one later prettiness that woman feels to
have real power, more real perhaps than the
prettiness of youth, is the prettiness OF old
age. There Is the charm Of life's aftergow
over the gray, quiet head, the pale, tender
face, lit up with sweetness, a pitifulness that
only experience and sorrow can give. 1t is
there, somehow, that We bring our troubles
and find peace. 1t is there, at any rate, that
we read subtler and d.viner beauty than In
the rosy cheek Of girlhood, a beauty spiritual
lied, mobile with every thought and emotion,
yet restful with the rest OF years. An infinite
tenderness and largeness Of heart, dignity
whose grace and naturalness robs it of all
sense of restraint, touch that has in it all the
genteness Of earth, a smile that has in 1t
something the compassionateness OF Heaven,
this is the apotheoss Of pretty women.

TELEGRAPH Money ORDERs.-It is not gen.
orally known that the managers of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company have inaugur-
ated system for the transmission of money
from the principal offices in many respects
like the postofflce money order system. A
person wishing to make a Quick payment to
another person in another place, has only to
step ints the telegraph Office, deposit the
amount of money be desires to pay, send a
message to the payee that he has deposited a
certain amount to his credit, naming the tele-
graph Office at which it is payable, and almost
before he leaves the Office the payment will be
made, though hundreds of miles separate the
parties to the transaction. The office receiv-
ing the money authorizes the Office from which
it Is to be paid to pay the amount so deposited,
and charge the amount against the office CIV
ing the authorization. The rate of commits
sion is one per cent. Orders ranging among
the thousands may be obtained, and the
amounts are only governed by the ability of
the offices to which they are sent to pay. The
Hartford (Connecticut) office has for some
time had the system in operation, and 1t is
proposed to extend it to all the principal Offices
in the country.

mand for accommodations is moderate. and
the banks amply supplied with means to meet
the wants Of customers. Exchange Is scarce,
and buying at par; sellers ask from a to "

sales of inferior grades. Liverpool quotations
this morning report that market as being quiet

the numerous testimonials of its virtues,
given by practitioners of medicines,
leave no doubt that it is safe and re-
