SERIOUS Row ON EDIsro ISLAND. "A
serious row occurred on Edisto Island,
Friday, at the camp-ground, midway
between vhs. are called tho seaside and
borough portion! OF the island-the
voters at the former place supporting
Mackey for the. shrievalty, and the
latter Bowen. It seems from the best
data that could be obtained, that there
were about 300 persons, many of whom
we're women, assembled to hold meet
ing in the interest of Bowen. Hutchin-
son, prominent colored politician who
supports him, and who ia candidate for
the Legislature, was called to the chair
The nomination of secretary, made by
the chair, .was voted down. It is alleged
that the chair became angry at the de-
clsion of the meeting, and declared that
If the nomination was not confirmed,
tho meeting should not be held.
There was great deal Of excited dis
oussion, which finally resulted in row.
The meeting then separated into two
factions, one for Mackey and the other
for Bowen. The fight became general
and lasted some time. There were ten
men wounded with sticks, bricks, go. :,
some seriously, and it is thought some
fatally. Hutchinson, the Bowenite

his jaw-bono broken. His sufferings
wero so great that he had to be carried to
u doctor. who said he was badly hurt.
The Mackeyites claim that they sue
ceeded in routing the Bowenites, who
deny the statements, and counter claim
that they simply retired to better field
to continue the meeting, where their
orators helc forth from a cart
During the fight, which is represented
as having been bloody one, several
pistol shots were fred, but luckily 10
one was injured. The excitement was
intonse. and blows were laid heavy and
thick wherever they could be effectually.

Editor Of Tie Columbia Phenia-Sm:
In the Greenville Mountaineer, of last
Wednesday, the 11th instant, there is a
card announcing to the public that "i,,
consequence Of the precedence of the yello,o
feuer in Charleston, Roses Hotel in Colun,-
bia has been re opened" etc. Allow me,
sir, to give, in the columns of your
paper, q fiat denial to Mr.. Roses state
ment in reference to the yellow fever.
Never has the health OF Charleston been
more satisfactory, as the last report of
the Board of Health, lately published
proves. Such false statements have
the immediate effect to injure the fall
business Of Charleston. for several coun.
try merchants have inquired already if
there WAS really danger for them to 90

auce. Whether the meeting was made
known throughout the County before
hand, or whether tho oolored people
were directed by certain we'll known
party clique in these parts to absent
themselves. I am unable to say. The
meeting was addressed by only one
speaker OF any importance or ability
Cardozo. Cardozo made speech mild
in tone and unmarked by my very strong
appeals to the prejudices of his bearers.
He was firm for the nominees of the
regular Republican Convention, and re-
lied upon Moses as his own true Noses
to lead him and his party through the
Red Sea. bespoke of Moses as the best
man for Governor-best for the State,
the oolored people and the Democrats
he e1tolled the character of the virtu-
GUS Israelite, and lamented the abuse
which had been laid at the door of the
gubernatorial candidate. He said that
Moses had been accused of dishonesty,
but that he WAS not guilty of three
fourths OF the charges brought against
him, and that they had been brought by
men who opposed him on account OF a
victory won in the Convention over them
He said that no money had been used in
the Convention to secure the nomination
OF Moses; that his nomination was made
fairly and squarely.
Oardozo paid his respects to the
boilers, and did not think much of
Tomlinson; said that Tomlinson was
strangely mixed up with guano bills aud
such like, and ono could not certainly
call him an honest man.
He ventured to speak OF himself. and
laid the fattering unction to his soul
that he was an honest Republican. Said
that he had fought the ring for four
years hard battle, secretly but fear.
lessly, and had been the means of saving
the State vast sums of money. he
ended by saying that the Republican
party should stick together should have
nothing to do with the bolt, and that
tue whole people should vote for the
regular ticket; ticket which he con-
sldered made of honest and able men.
His speech was attentively listened to.
Abbeville will be busy from now to the
election with conventions, tickets,
speeches, &c. The Republican County
Convention, for the nomination of a
County ticket, will be held on next
Wednesday. RALPH.

A LOUISVILLE DELRaAER Our FOR
GREELEY.-Mr. Samuel Clem, nm old
citizen OF Indiana and lifelong Demo-
crat, and one OF the two delegates from
the Ninth Congressional District of that
state to the Louisville Convention, has
returned from that city and publishes u
card:
Il went to Louisville as O delegate,
honestly believing that the Convention
was called for the futherance Of sound
Democratic principles. Intercourse with
the managers of that affair nt Louisville
has satisfied me that it was instigated
and managed by men wholly for selfish
purposes, and to secure the reelection
of General Grant"

AN EFFECTIVE SpEEcn.-A rough
looking but well.informed farmer, living
in one of the Northern towns in Wayne
County, Now York, was once selected as
q party standard bearer and sent to the
Legislature. Hero he determined to
make his mark, and, if possible, be-
come celebrated in history. In order to
do this he must make speech, 80 he
collected together items of history and
science and blended them in harmonious
concord. This done to his satisfaction,
he committed his speech to memory and
appeared before the Legislature. AS he
arose from his seat. another member, not
seeing him, commenced talking, where
upon the Speaker of the House said
"The gentleman from Wayne has the
floor" Looking around upon his
Neutrality-suspicious., his courage failed, his
tongue refused to do the bidding of his
intellect. Finally, he stnmmered out,
II only got mp to spit" and sat down
amid roar of laughter from all who
heard it. The next morning this able
speech was reported in full, and the po-
litical farmer WAS never allowed to forget
this patriotic attempt to enlighten the
law makers of the Empire State.

FRAUD AND CORRUPTION IN MAINE. -
Advices received at the Democratic head
quarters in New York fully confirm the
statements as to the means by which the
late result in Maine was brought about.
Careful and accurate judges estimate the
expenditure during the election on the
part of the GRANTEES ut between $500, 900
and $500, ,O00 Such prodigal use of
money WAS never known before in any
election. In all the large towns, SlOO
and $3.50 was the average price for single
votes, and on the day of election all the
surface and floating vote was bought
like beef from the shambles. In every
village and town in the State, there was
Government official, who publicly an
nouDced the price at which he bought
votes. A few days before the election, q
large number of persons were employed
ostensibly to not as special detectives for
the prevention OF smuggling, and many
not susceptible to open purchase were
secured in this way. The appointments
were made under a law passed at the last
session Of Congress. to prevent evasions
of the revenue law, and appropriating
for that purpose $500, 900, under the di-
rection of the Secretary OF the Treasury.
In addition TO this undisguised traffic,
every influence that could be brought to
bear was made use of in one way or
another. and prospective possession Of
Office was promised in O manner that
made it almost as effective an induce
ment as present possession.

The MEETING HERE. Melton, Gurney
and Ransier spoke here on Friday night.
Melton repeated his slanderous speech
against Tomlinson, and endeavored to
defend Moses in the pay certificate busl-
ness, by shifting the load upon the Se-
nate. Ransier here nudged the speaker,
who faltered out, II d-d-don't mean
to c-charge Ransier with it, b-b-but
the Speaker p-En'o toDs." Ransier made
speech in his usual style OF non.oom-
rnitalism. No one could tell who he was
for except himself. The crowd was
small and rather disposed to put embar.
rassing questions. A few ''strikers''
around the stand did the cheering.

A NEW DISCOVERY. Only think Of it!
They have found water lily on the Up

Egyptian lotos, and all the dreamers are
ecstatic over it. We shall have an inter-
esting association of lotophagi at once;

the fact, and there is some hope that
they may visit the favored spot and taste
the blissful fruit. The lotos was sup-
posed to make all who ate Of it lose all

PoLrTIoAL JorTINas. There is abund.
ant confidence of decisive Greeley vic.
tories in the October elections, for in
those States the detection has strength
both in prominent and public journals,
which is certainly not the case in Maine
and Vermont. The Grant men are try
ing desperately to believe the contest
already settled in their favor, but in
truth their alarm is as vivid as ever,
since their majority has fallen of eighty
per cent. in North Carolina, twenty per
cent. in Maine, and five per cent. in
Vermont If this tendency settles the
conflict, it will be Farmer Grant next
year. and President Greeley.
"Greeley stock is going down." Ger
tainly it is. That is but fair and right;
for the people have decided that Grant
shall go up-next November. Each day
proves this determination more strongly.
Here we have Gen. James D. Morgan, OF
Illinois, coming out strongly for Gree
ley. he commanded the Second Divi.
sion. 14th Corps, and, it was considered
at the time, saved Sherman's army on
an occasion OF great emergency. He
was till recently on ardent supporter of
Grant, and has come out for Greeley,
though long an earnest Republican.
Reports from all parts OF Pennsylva.
mia, Indiana and Ohio, the three de-
batable States voting in October, show
the greatest activity on the part of the
Democrats and Liberals. Ohio has not,
until recently, been regarded as doubt
full State. The splendid canvass being
made there by Thurman. Schurz. Trum-
bull and General Wiley. the one.leggod
hero, who heads the Democratic State
ticket, is having great effect, and the
friends of Greeley and Brown are now
very hopeful.

The notorious Oluseret, the ex-dele-
gate of war of the Paris Commune, who
ls now living precariously somewhere in
obscurlty, has been condemned to death
by court-martial at Versailles for re-
fusing to come forward and answer the
charges against him. Cluseret will
probably give wide berth to Ia belle
France hereafter, as he has found it O
more perilons piece of business to burn
buildings in Paris than to insult women
and destroy property as he did during
our civil war in the valley of Virginia.
Henceforth, like the sword Of Damocles,
the glittering knife of the guiIlotine
will be ever before his eyes, and he must
be wary lest it should some day de-
scend upon his neck.

LAURA FAIR TO BE ACQUITTED --MoNEY

Of the 9th, says:
Great excitement was created in the
Fifteenth District Court. this evening,

that he had been approached by John
A. Gardiner, formerly constable at the
Mission Dolax, who advised him to get

clear Mrs. Fair; that money was no
object; if he wanted thousand or more,
he could have it. Judge Reador ordered
Cardinel to be Immediate arrested and
placed in Jail, t be brouoht before him

ing that his sew would be heavy if

The VorR OF OHIO AND IND1ANA.-The
following calculations have been made
OF Ohio and Indiana: The largest vote
ever cast in the former State is 517, 900.
In October, 1868. the Democratic candi-
didate for Secretary of State received
249, 682 votes, which, allowing $4,000 for
natural increase in four years, would
give 261, 900 as the Democratic strength
in the present canvass. The lowest eati
mate OF the Liberal vote is O,OOO, which
would increase the above in round mum.
bers to $4,000 This would be majo-
rity of even $4,000, the number Of the
total vote on which the calculations are
based. In Indiana. in 1868, Hendricks
was defeated by less than 1000 votes in
q. total of $4,000; while in 1870, Eddy,
the Democratic candidate for Secretary
Of State, received 16O, ,O59 out of 3I7, $50.
The Liberal Republicans of Indiana
number. ut the smallest computation,
70, 600, which is larger number than is
needed by any combination of circum.
stances to render the Democratic strength
greatly in the majority.
