There was meeting, to-day, OF Re.
publicans disaffected with tho present
County ticket, to select new one.
About 200 persons we're present, and
though they exhibited considerable en-.
thusiasm for their respective favorites.
great harmony prevailed. The following
ticket was put before the people:
Senntor-Sandy Ford, (colored.)
Representatives-S.M NJ. Smart, (white, J
G. W. Barber, Rev. Alfred Moore, (co-
lored.)
Sheriff-Dr. J. d. Curcton.
Clerk of Court-Capt. s. Is. Clowney.
Probate Judge-W. NJ. Nelson.
School Commissioner-Fra Killings
worth, (colored.)
County Commissioners-H. L. Elliott,
Esq. and Henry Jacobs and James
Cook, (colored.)
Coroner-Thomas Murphy.
Capt. Clowncy and Judge Nelson are
also on the regular ticket.
Ihc bolters pledged themselves to the
regular State nominations. The ticket
thus presented is strong one, and, in
some respects, far preferable 10 that Of
the regulars. Sandy Ford owns consi-
derable property, and is very popular
among the farming clement. DR.. Cureton
is we'll qualified to discharge the duties of
sheriff, and is popular with both white
and colorcd. The nomination of Mr..
Elliott is very acceptable to the whites.
He is one Of, the best citizens of Fair
field, and his. nomination. unsolicited,
gives evidence of better feeling ue-
tween the raceb. Under his manage
mont, the fpanccs of the County would
prosper.
If the bolters are supported by the
whites, the contest will be close one,
and may result in the selection Of better
men than have heretofore held Office in

THE NraBo's FUTURE HoME.LThe

The NEaBo's FUTURE HoME.-The
New York Herald. Of Tuesday, has two
columns on ''our- negro population-its

It argues that the ,hegro, being hdaptfd
by nature to tropical climate, aid being
averse to unnecessary labor, will ulti-
nasely go from Delaware. Marylsnh,
Virginia. Missouri. North Carolina and
Kentucky, and from the upper and mid
die sections of Tennessee, South Caro-.
lima and Georgia, to the more extreme
portions of the South, where production
is more spontaneous, clothing lighter
aud cheaper, fuel less needed and costly
habitatfons unnecessary. We subjoin the
concluding paragraphs of the Herald'S
article:
Two leading deductions may at this
day be made:
l. There is and will be steady exodus
of the negro population Southwark and
into the tropics.
2. It will cluster in districts where the
arabic land is friable and easily worked,
where vegetation is most spontaneous,
aud where agriculture will return the
largest products or wages with the least
labor.
These people have little individuality
and are very gregnrious; the, current OF
migration will be swelled by their procli
witty to follow their "crowd." This dis
position draws them to villages, towns
and cities. Il false pride since emarci.
patton, and an appreciation IF the
'grentness thrust upon them, have pro
duced an aversion to menial service; they
confound it with slavery, which it re.
sembles. But they will endure it, if they
can obtain with it association, "inery,
music aud splurge," i'll Which they de.

population once becomes sensibIy dimi

Personal rroclivities govern them much
more in their local changes than do policy
or politics. a wide field for whito immi

PRAYER ANswERED-A MIRACLE IN New
YoRK-STOLEN PROPERTY RECOVERED -
There is q house on Fifteenth street,
Now York, in which regular prayer
meeting has been held weekly for over
twenty years. Last week, young lady
boarding in the house heard some one in
her room at night. 1t proved to be a
burglar, who stripped the room, carrying
of, among other things, new silk dress
aud gold watch belonging to the young
lady. The watch was highly priced as
belonging to her father, who some time
ago was shot by burglar. Saddened
by the loss, and not knowing anything
else to do, the young lady shut herself
up in her room, and began to pray for
the recovery of her lost goods, especially
for her new silk dress aud watch. a day
or two afterward, at the edge Of the
evening, bundle was left at the base.
ment door; it contained the watch and
the new dress. A piece of brown paper,
soiIed, torn and jagged, had on it some
writing. evidently by one not accustomed
to tho fno arts. The note stated that
tho writer had robbed the house, was
Immediately taken sick, and could get nc
peace Of body or mind. He had con
cluded, therefore, to return those things,
but the rest he had parted with. If lie
lived, he would earn money enough tc
pay the balance. Tho young lady has
no doubt that the goods were returned in
direct answer to her prayer.

The American people have now M op-
portunity to contemplate the strange
spectacle of State official in Jail for his
honesty, and not for his knavery. In
deed, it is probable that if he were more
of rogue, he could have established
closer relations with tho authorities, who
would then take better care of him than
send him to Jail. But Jas. Graham, State
Auditor Of Louisiana, is in prison, be.
cause he refused to pay judgment
claim of $4,000 against the State, on
the ground of manifest illegality. The
court had ordered the Auditor to pay the
money, but as it involved an ultimate
lpss Of nearly S1,0OO,O00, and perhaps
more, to tho State, he refused. So, by n
sort of legal snap game, tho Auditor was
sent to prison. The court said: 1.-The
Auditor is morally right, but legally
wrong" The case would have been
paralleled in New York city, couple OF
years ago, if Comptroller Connolly, for
example, had refused to pay any OF the
bogus Judgments Against the city signed
by the corrupt Barnard judiciary. The
New Orleans press unanimously endorse
Auditor Graham's course, and the
chances are that he will be promoted
from his prison to about as high place
as the people of the State can elect him
to fill.

scrunched his teeth, and inquired in u
very loud and ogreish voice, like Jack s
traditional giant, "Who has been eteal.
ing corn? Who is too lazy to support
his family about here? Who has been
telling tales?" However much these
terrific and pertinent questions struck
terrorto the soul of the victim, he yet
found strength to answer mildly but firm
ly, "No one" Whereupon the spectre
leader, or the llowling avenger, with n
final scrunch, observed, "Well, Nivens,
you can go to bed." and departed with
his fearful crew. The unparalleled afro
city of this act ought to furnish forth
Administration speeches for the next
four weeks at least.

GRAND OPEnATIC AND BALLAD Con-
CERT IN BEHALF OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA
MONUMENT ASSOCIATIONS The Board of
Directors Of the South Carolina Monu-
ment Association beg to announce that q
concert in behalf of their association will
be given in Columbia, early in Novem-
ber. A number of celebrated amateur
performers of this place, besides seve-
raj gentlemen from other parts CT the
State, have generously lent their services
for the occasion.
The programme and full particulars of

residing in distant parts of the State

The Monument Association has pur-
chased site for the Confederate monu-
ment, and hopes soon to lay the corner
stone. A large sum is still needed to
complete the work. and we appeal to all
for aid-to those whose privilege it was
to fight by the side of the gallant dead
whose deeds we commemorate; to the
mothers and wives of these men; to their
children, who, in years 10 come, are to
redeem South Carolina; and lastly, to
those who love liberty and who honor
the past and pray for the future of our
beloved State.

A Third Ticket.

A Third Ticket. 50
Nothing would please the Hoses party
better, for nothing would more certainly
insure their success, than that tho white
conservatives should put forward q
third ticket for State officers in the COM
ing election. The colored people Of the
State are. for, the most part, in very
undecided state Of mind at present as to
their duty in the gubernatorial election,
Some are for Tomlinson. more perhaps
are for Moses. while the large majority
are as yM undetermined. They are in
olined to support Tomlinson as q more
worthy candidate than Moses; but in
their ignorance they hesitate in taking
q step forward in any other than the
beaten Radical track. Moses and his
crew were nominated by the Irregular"
Convention. They have hitherto been
taught q blind obedience to the direction
OF their Convention. and it is not such
an easy undertaking for them to shake
off at once the party shncklcs which hive
bound them, and assert their political
freedome..a and independence. They fear
some trick ION the part Of; the Whites,
whom they ,hnvo been taught TO dis trust,
and any attempt on our part to run n
conservative ticket would inevitably
frighten them all back into the support
OF Moses, or of the devil himself, could
his satanic maiesty's proverbial pride 9
permit him to take Moses place. The
Moseyites, therefore. would ohuokle with
delight if the whites could in any way
be induced thus to play into their hands.
Next to an open nomination, it,s uits
their purposes. best I'd impress the ap-
prehensive oolored people with the dread
that In some secret hocus -pocus way the
white people intend to consolidate their
votes upoA'athira i nAn, q 1iafid run him in
for Governor ibebweenoMnsas and Tom
,inson. THEY are now sasfdapasly, stuff
ing the credulous minds of the colored
people with fears OF this kind, and unless
such fears can be removed, will. doubt
less, influence many of them Co. vote for
Moses against their better impulses. It
is time. therefore, for our people to take
sides definitely in the coming State
election, that the colored people may see
where we are. No decent man, of course,
can vote for Moses. Some may not vote
for Tomlinson, but we ure confident that
large majority will.
With anything like full white vote,
the chances are that Tomlinson and his
ticket will be elected by handsome ma
jority. Between him and Moses there is
no comparison. and the duty of all good
citizens. in our judgment, is plain and
unquestionable. There is nothing in
Mr.. Tomlinson or his ticket to arouse
the enthusiasm of our people, bnt we
should do our duty. nevertheless; and if
we believe that he would fill the Office of
Governor more usefully to the State than
Moses. we should vote for him-and we
should now declare our purpose so to do.

Sour SToMAcH.-If the food taken
into the stomach is not digested, it de-

ernctations, or else the stomach itself
secretes an acid, which, rising upward,
at intervals stings the gullet sharply.

are attributable to impaired digestion.

"Mr. Greeley's speeches." says the
New York IKorld, without exception,
have been excellent, and, perhaps, it is
not verpraise to say, edmirable. Brief
when the occasion calls for brevity;
longer when the occasion ,iustifies more
fullness, but never prolix or tedious,
perpetually varied, according to the au-,
dienoe; simple, spontaneous, unstudied,
but the off.hand utterances of man of
stable, earnest convictions; free from in
vective or any approach TO discourtesy;
and suffused with the healing spirit of
magnanimous patriotism, which seems to
flow as from an inexhaustible fountain.
these ever-ready and always pertinent
speeches will raise Mr.. Greeley vastly in
