The Great Victory.
ADDITIONAL ELECTION RE TURNS.
LARGE REPUBLICAN GAINS.
SCOTS and RanSierS Majority Probably 10000.
SCOTS and RanSiers Majority Probably 10000.
Cheerful Tidings From all Points.
INCREASED MAJORITIES.

The returns of to-day indicate still larger
majorities. Naturally our friends are slower
in forwarding news unfavorabe to the Re-
publican ticket than that which is favorable.
From several Democratic counties we have
no returns, and so from several close coun-
ties which probably give the Reformers
q majority. ............ ,..-......-
But scanning the returns of this year and
of 1878, We think the majority of Governor
Scott will rise considerably above 10000.
We yesterday estimated the State Senate
as % Republicans to o aRcformers," and
the House as SO Republicans to IS "Re-
formers" To day two independent Repub-
licans are reported from Anderson, and one
or two Reformers" from Barnwell. This
leaves the result unchanged.
We feel confident of the election of four
Republican members of Congress.
THE RESULT ACHIEVED.
The Republican party is thoroughly vic
torious. 1t makes clean sweep of the
State and naltickets-ele more
than two-thirds of both houses of the
General Assembly, and carries at least 10
out of 81 counties of the State. Naturally
we rejoice beyond expression at our complete
and glorious triumph.
To the Republican leaders the election
was matter of home and of life Every
where we met the muttered threat that not
one scalawag or carpet Dagger, or political
s.nigger' could live in the State after the
triumph of the Reform" party. We be
heved that the more bitter of our opponents
meant what they privately said, rather than
what they spoke in public meetings. We
were reused to our utmost exertions because
the struggle involved residence, property,
and even lite itself We may have been
mistaken. Reform" leaders will say that
we were. But we actually believed it.
Therefore we fought to win. We have won.
We believe we have won for all time We
do not expect to see another such struggle
We believe that the progress of Republican
ideas, immigration, enlarged business and
the very attitude and discussion of the "Re
form" party itself, will advance South Caro-
lima beyond the possibility of another such
campaign before two. years are ended.
But, after all, not the leaders OF the party,
but the broad, just principles of Republi-
canism have triumphed. On them, by them,
and for them, the votes of the people were
cast. And the result dedicates this our
State to Republican principles for years to
come. No party on any other platform can
carry the State. No party simply accepting
what is done can succeed. The winning
party must also be progressive. Its leaders
must believe heartily in Republican ideas,
and urgently labor to put them in practical
operation in every part of our State. Our
victory has established Republicanism in
this state invlncibly and ineradieably.

Rebel Slaughter in sonth Carolina.

On Sunday evening last Senator Robert
son, of South Carolina. arrived here, having
been deputed by Governor Scott to lay be-
fore the President the facts in relation to a
massacre of Union men which took place in
Laurens county on Thursday last, and to
ask for the interposition of the strong arm
of the Government to prevent further
butchery by the 'Reformers" The Senator
left South Carolina on Saturday, and. on
Sunday last so threatening was the aspect
of affairs that the Governor dispatched q
1 delegation, consisting of State Treasurer
Miles G. Parker, State Auditor Tomlinson,
and G. P. 81. Ripley, to also call upon The
President and urge upon him the necessity
of at once ordering that troops be sent to
the disturbed portions of the State - Z
The Governor represents that as many as
sixty persons were killed by the "Reformer"
at, and in the vicinity of, Laurens Court
house, on Thursday last, and fears that a
repetition of the slaughter will occur to-day,
as this is the time fixed for counting the
votes, and the " Reformers" have given out
that the Republicans elected will not, under
any circumstances be restored to power.
The attack of the " Reformers" at Laurens
Courthouse was made on the Goth inst, the
day after the election, and was prompted by
the conviction that they had been fairly de-
teated at the polls by the Republicans.
About 700 stand of arms were seized, and
60 persons killed, among them being Hons.
Wade Perrin, colored, and Joseph Crews,
white, and both members Of the Legislature,
and Volley Powell, son of Judge Powell, of
Ohio. Assistant Assessor Everson was pur,
sued, and barely escaped with his life. He
was saved only by the use of secret sign
OF distress, and even then was forced to
travel to Columbia on passes furnished him
by his rebel captors. He has announced his
intention OF never returning to his post of
duty as United States assessor at Anderson.
The condition of affairs in South Carolina
is truly appalling, and can not be exagger-
ated, and we are sure, from the representa-
lions made US by thoroughly responsible
parties, that unless the Government inter.
teres at once the State will be plunged into
civil war. As the militia iscomposed mainly
of colored men, and as the State authorities
have been warned that if they attempt to
send them to Laurens the railroad Will be
torn up and the troops attacked and over
powered by thousands of well-armed }ex-
Confederates, the necessity of United States
troops is apparent. The preservation of the
peace of the State is demanded by every
consideration, and We are confident that
deaf ear will not be turned to the appeal of
Governor Scott for the immediate presence
OF United States troops in South Carolina.

A Deluge.

O.
The New York World has news of great
deluge in Cuba. Four hundred houses
swept away, two thousand human lives and
twelve thousand head of cattle destroyed,
cemetery obliterated, pillagers of empty
houses detected and summarily executed,
vessels thrown ashore, and railway train
stopped by the inundation.
The following will give some view of the
condition of Havana:
A HORRIBLE SCENE.
" With the hull of the storm and partial
change of the wind the waters of the bay
at once retired from the city and suburbs,
and the two rivers, transformed into torrents,
were enabled once more to discharge their
supcrabundance where they had been wont
to- The rapid flow towards the bay, how
ever, impaired to the waters so much cur
rent and force that, in their ebbing from the
inundated wards and suburbs, they wrecked
many more houses, dragging to watery
graves many more persons. Buildings, and
parts and fragments OF buildings, furniture,
trees, goods and bodies innumerable, of
man and beast, of fish and fowl, were for
several hours borne by the retiring flood to
the bay, there to be only in small proper
lions recovered. When the waters were
gone sad, desolating sight was indeed
presented by the scourged wards and
suburbs. As stated at the beginning of this
letter, nearly 400 houses were swept away,
witt, ait their contents more or less valuable
(S91 houses by exact count-90 of stone
and bricks and 301 of wood, and more
than 400 other houses were more or less in
jured Some of the buildings swept away
were very costly ones, including nearly all
the fine warehouses on the levee and the
lower banks of the San Juan and the
Yumuri, not one of which but had boxes
OF sugar and hogsheads of molasses in
storage, the whole of which was also
lost. In lives / stated at the commence
ment the losses would exceed 1000. There
are accounts which reduce the number to
500, and Others that raise it to 1900. I
Z find letter from Matanzas merchat, which
states that 482 dead bodies had been found
and buried, and that 500 missing persons
were accounted for. The most prominent
man drowned was the rich merchant, Pedro
Benet. Not single American is among
the victims. The brute creation naturally
Jared worse than the man in the inundated
! wards and suburbs, and the number of
horses, cattle, hogs, dogs, &C., drowned is
very great. In the two wards of Pueblo
Nuevo and Ojo de Aqua only one horse was
saved. and he in truth saved himself, being
found, after the waters were gone. upon the
roof of house, to which place of refuge he
had made his way whilst the waters were
at their greatest height. No pecuniary es-
! Inmates of the losses within the city have as
yet been made that can pass for reliable.
