SOUTH CAROLINA

This State,on Wednesday, elected
the regular Republican ticket, head
ed by Moses, over the bolting Re
publican ticket, with Tomlinsor
for governor. As we have before
explained, the election was of pure
ly local significance, the issues be
ing made up on the management oi
state affairs, rather than on gues.
tions of national politics. On the
latter, South Carolina is overwhelm.
ingly Republican. The Democrats
made no fight, having no state tick
ct in the field. They had, also, but
one candidate for congress, Hon. B.
Perry, ex-provisional governor un-
der Johnson's administration

sent member from the 4th district
1t is reported that Mr.. Perry is

A SINGULAR DISCOvERY--ICE THAT
NEVER MElTS,

A letter from Linden, Perry coun-
ty, Tennessee, gives a statement re,
specting the alleged discovery of a
cave in the county named, contain
ing some remarkable stone forma-
tions which are said to impart to
fluids the GOODNESS of ice, while re-
tanning their original bulk. The
story is said to be youched for by
prominent citizens of the county, a
number of whom have explored the
cave and have carried away speci-
mems of the wonderful substance.
Penetrating the subterraneous cavi-
ty to the distance of seyenty-fve
feet, their torches revealed an apart
ment festooned with the most bril-
liant stalagmites, resembling the
clearest ice, and cold as the touch
of the ice-king himself. Breaking
off Jumps of the queer substance,
they made their way to the surface,
their hands becoming so thoroughly
chilled that they were compelled to
lay their crystals down in the sun.
The warm atmosphere had no effect
on the "rock ice," and after half
hours rest the party proceeded to
the residence Of one of their num-
ber. Here a number of experiments
were tried with it, water and milk
being brought in few minutes to
the lowest temperature by putting
pieces of the rystal ln pitchers with
the fluids. 1t produced the same ef-
feet upon butter as ice, and still re-
tanned its original fridgidity. A
number of persons haye since Wis
ited the cave and carried away spec
linens of the rock, which they are
using for all purposes of ice, one
physician employing it in his prac-
tice. It is q wonderful! story and
hard to believe.

GREELEYITEs IN DELAWARE
ALARMED. @

The Greeley men in Delaware are
represented by gentlemen from WI
mington as decidedly alarmed at
the situation in that State. The
dissatisfaction of the Democrats is
general that those who are for Gree
ley have concluded that unless the
Republican vote can be reduced
much below the number of Liberals
it will take from 1t, Grant will carry
the State. To reach this end many
negroes entitled to vote have, by
preconcerted arrangement, been left
off the assessment lists, and the ex-
pectation was that they wouldn't no.
tice this till too near the election to
remedy it and obtain tax receipts,
which are indispensable to voting.
The trick, however, was 50 generally
tried as to lead to exposure, and q
number Of colored men thus dis
have taken the matter
before the courts.

LIBERAL REPUBLICAN, HEADQUART.
ERS IN PHILADELPHIA CLOSED.

The so-called Liberal Republi-
can" headquarters in Philadelphia,
where, during the campaign just
closed, Mcclure and men of that ilk
were wont to gather, was most alb
ruptly closed on Thursday. The
overwhelming Republican triumph
was too much for them, and the
place that knew them SO well will
know themno more forever. The por-
traits of the bucolic philosopher and
his copartner on theC Confederate tick
ct were silently and sadly removed
doubtless to be consigned to obliv-
ion in a dusty attic. The other po-
litical paraphernalia, consisting Of
books, campaign documents, news
paper files, furniture, DC, also as
mysteriously disappeared. The dis
appearance of these articles is sig
nificant, and foreshadows the fading
into insigificance Of sight the Gree
ley vote next month. - ..a-

VIGOROUSLY PROSECUTED.

The campaign is being prosecuted
vigorously in the undecided States,
and both parties are getting ready
to renew the contest, though with
much abatement of hard work and
costly display, in the States that
have already voted. Senator Viii.
son and Governor Jewell are in New
Hampshire; Senator Morton and
Speaker Blaine in Illinois; while
Schurz has drawn himself in and
will concentrate what energies he
has left, after spreading himself out
over the whole country, to the for
lorn task of saving his own State,
Missouri, from going over to the
Grant side. --

TERRORISM IN THE SOUTH.

The Pittsburgh Commercial says
the New York Sun boldly inti-
mates that the system of terrorism
and fraud by which the Greeley ma
jority in the late Georgia election
was principally secured, is to be
"tried on" by the Democracy of
other Southern States at the ensuing.
Presidential election. at is un-
doubtedly true" says that paper,
"that the failure of Congress to re-
vive the Enforcement Act in all its
rigor has rendered worthless and
Ipowerless a good deal of the politi-
cal machinery whereby the carpet
baggers have heretofore held con-
troll of the Southern States" In
other words, the generosity Of the
government is to be taken adyant1
age Of by the Greeleyites of those
States, to intimidate and drive away
loyal men from the polls, and by all
the brutal appliances known to po-
litical ruffianism to Obstruct the
right Of suffrage and make it next
to impossible for a Republican vote
to be cast. The Sun is of the opin-
ion, ''from information which has
come into its possession" that the
Southern States shave determined
to fight this battle on their own ac-
count and in their own way, to the
bitter end'-the SWAY" being the
lawless and murderous course stated
above.
A man who, in view of such open
ly avowed designs as these, does
not see that in its final analysis
Greeleyism means the practical dis
franchisement of the loyal people Of
the South, whether white or black,
is stone blind. Indeed, a "confiden-
tial' circular recently issued to the
Democracy of Louisiana, some
copies of which fell into Republican
hands, show that their hatred to the
government, to yankees" ''carpet-
baggers" and "niggers," is as in
tense and remorseless as ever. This
circular calls upon the Democracy
to raise money and organize for Use
cret action" in every part of the
State. Encourage it says, ''your
leading colored men to demand all
the offices; furnish them money,
sign their official bonds, and give
them every assistance to drive the
Yankee out. When you have done
this, the battle is over, the State is
ours, and the negro and the carpet
bagger fall in the same grave"
Nothing less than the striking of po
litical equality out of the Constitu
ton, and the re-establishment of
what they term "a white mans gov
ernment," will satisfy the demands
of the Southern supporters OF Hor-
ace Greeley. We doubt whether
the people Of the Northern States
are even yet thoroughly alive to the
imminence of the perils that threat
en- alike the institutions and the life
of the Republic. Men Of the nation!

CAMPAIGN IN OHIO.

The Republican State Central
Committee give notice that the cam
gaign in Ohio will be vigorously
prosecuted to the end. Any locali-
ties wanting meetings can have
speakers by asking for them. Ohio
is sure for Grant by from 10000 to
10000 majority, but this certainty
depends upon the assurance that the
Republicans will keep up their Or
ganization and bring out their full
vote in November as they did in
October. Let there be no relapse
no falling of, bnt one more grand
rally and the last victory will be
ours,

GREELEY ON GRATZ BROWN.

In the Tribune of September 2Ist,
1870, Greeley says:
President Grant has expressed
precisely the opinion we should have
expected from him concerning the
Gratz Brown movementin in Missouri.
He considers it an effort TO disorgan-
ize the Republican party without
cause, which no good Republican
who has the interests of tie coGn-
try and of the party at heart can
fail zealopsly to combat. How any
man protesting Republicapism can
fail to take the same view is ppe of
the mysteries which oaly Revenue
Reformers, Tammany Republicans.
and other political nondescripts can
he expected to understand.

prmocsA1rc LOSSES IN CONGRESS

The Demoorats by the late eleer
tions lose some of their ablest and
most experienced representatives in
Congress. In Ohio they lose Gen.
George w. Morgan and Lewis d.
Campbell, and in Indiana Messrs.
Kerr, Voorhees, and Nibhck, three
of their strongest men. In Penn
aylvania they lose General Foster
of Greensburg. Myers of Bedford,
Sherwood and Griffith, not specially
brilliant but experienced representa-
tiyes. In the next Congress it is
altogether probable their strength
will fall below one third of the mem
bers elected, and be made up for
the most part of new and inexperi-
enced legislators. ,l ..4-.

1t was announced that Greeley
had an invitation to make another
Western tour, and was considering
the matter. The trip is entirely
unnecessary. We can carry all the
Western States without his aid.
His last trip did the business for
both elections. But if the infatua-
ted old man does come there will
be no occasion for the Gopfederates
to go to the expense Of printing
tickets. There will not be enough
voted to make it an object.

majority is only $4,000, and a

GEORGIA.

Georgia is the only State that has
gone for Greeley since the Cincin-
natl nomination, and two thirds of
the Democratic majority there was
got by driving negro Republicans
from the polls This is what Gree
ley's reconciliation, no prescription,
universal amnesty means: Let JEFF.
Davis and his subalterns back into
Federal office, and wrench from the
black the franchise by which they
protect their rights! The pretense
of the Democrats to favor negro
suffrage is "'faunting lie."

COLD COMFORT.

The Chicago Tribune says the
Confederate party is ''the party OF
the future, and its greatest achieve
ments are yet to come; the election
in November is but an episode to its
history. 1t may bear fruit or it may
only break the ground for the fu-
ture harvest. This is only of "tem-
porary consequence" just so. But
this is rather chilling response to
John Cochrane's thrilling appeal to
his ''Compatriots" to "push things"
and achieve a decisive, benificent
triumph" and to Brinkerhof's s
blaating of assured victory in No
yember. IkI CEE SGCN

THE EFFECT,

The grand Republican triumph at
the late election not only insures the
re election of General Grant, next
November, but it learned Schurz and
his ilk that they did not carry the
vote of our German citizens in their
vest pockets. The great mass of
the German Republicans Of Ohio,
Indiana and Pennsylvania remained
true to their principles at the Octo-
Der elections, and will give a good
account of themselves in November.

THROWING UP THE SPONGE.

The Cincinnati Commercial, on
behalf of the Liberals, throws up the
sponge, in regard to the Presiden-
tial contest by saying:
Taking the elections altogether,
the conclusion is forced that the
luck of General Grant, in politics
as in war, is likely to be confirmed
by his reelection to the Presidency.
The Liberal and Democratic organ
ization is not SO compact that it can
stand the shock of repeated defeats.

FANNY FERN.
HER LAST ILLNESS AND HER DEATH


Mrs. Parton has been afflicted for
many years with iniiammatory rheu-
matism. She has been able to ride
about, however, and walk In her
garden-she was an ardent admirer
OF flowers = until this fall. She
passed last summer in her villa at
Newport. Her right arm was SO af-.
fected as to be powerless, and she
had not left her room since her re-
turn to the city. She was forced to
sit in an easy chair, her arm being
supported by a frame. TO die down
caused intense pain and difficulty
in breathing. In this chair, where
she has sat for two months, she
died, surrounded by loving friends,
and her eyes resting on the beauti-
ful flowers which were her comfort
in life.
She was perfectly conscious to
the last moment, and sent messages
of her love to distant friends. A
short time ago she told her husband
that she was shocked when she saw
strangers viewing the remains of the
late Alice Carey in DIR. Deems
church, and one of her last requests
was, Let no stranger look upon
my face whispered as the breath
of life was passing from her. She
had always entertained strong
aversion to ostentatious funerals,
and her wishes in this respect will
be fulfilled to the letter by her
friends.
EARLY on Thursday she knew her
end was approaching. At three O.
clock in the afternoon she called her
family around the arm chair in
which she expired-for her suffer-
ings prevented her from resting on
a bed. Sadly did every member re-
spond to the summons. In the lit
tie circle were DR.. Parton, Miss Ed
ridge, the dying lady's daughter,
her two sisters, Miss Julia Willis
and Mrs. Bumstead, and a little
grandehild. DR.. Sturges, her phys
ician came in at this moment and
joined the group. The authoress,
whose life was rapidly ebbing, called
each to her side, and said few
words of admonition till she had
reached the last. When her little
grandchild came to her she direct
ed DIR. Parton to send her early to
bed, and if her death occurred that
night, not to tell the child till to-
morrow

DEATH OF FANNY FERN.

Fanny Fern is dead. She sank
quietly to sleep in her New England
home, on last Thursday evening.
She was the wife of Mr.. James Par
ton, the biographer, and although
gone from among us, her memory
will ever remain fresh as the fern
leaves In summer time. Her funeral
took place in Boston last Sabbath.

REMARKS BY HORACE GREELEY.

Listen to what Horace Greeley
| lsaysin- the Tribune of September
2lst, 1870. He was not. then a can
didate for the presidency:
Fherets strong political argu-
ment in every item of the curious
and valuable table, which compares
the receipt and expenditures of the
Government for the last eighteen
months OF the Democratic rule of
President Johnson, and the first
eighteen months of the Republican
Administration of President Grant.
And the arguments are not lame or
halting, nor are their declarations
in any sense equivocal. While the
receipts in eighteen months un-
der the present Administration have
increased $S7, ,2l3,765, over those
of corresponding period of Dem
ocratic misrule, the expenditures
have decreased $S3,S53, ,O6O,77, TINS

in the cost of collecting under Grant

Democratic Administration reduced

Administration, during a like period
reduced it $1G9,542, 109,60. Here
