The Result OF the Late State Election.
The Charleston News. of Monday, says:
1t is nov. possible tossmeaspre with some.
accuracy the Conservative losses and
gains at the late State election. The con-
test was one in which the Conservatives
took hardly any part, but they have a
deep interest in the result. -
In the matter Of the State
stands whene she did before. All her
representatives in the Federal council
are Radicals, and four of the five are
colored men. The attempt to elect q
Democrat IN the Fourth District has ap-
parently failed, by reason of the supine-
ness of the Conservatives. There was, a
white majority in the district, and Gov
.ernor Perry could easily have been elect
ed. In the State Legislature the Con-.
servatives make some gains. And there
is an improvement in the mental calfbre
of the Conservatives who are chosen.
They will not be mere lay.fgures at the
capitol. Both amendments to the State
Constitution are adopted by nearly
unanimous vote. One of them changes
the day Of holding the State election, so
that, every four years, both the State and
Presidential election will take place on
the same day. The other amendment
prohibits any addition to the State debt,
without the approval of two.thirds vote
Of the people at a general election. This
'-is step in theright direction:
! The great Conservative gain, however,
is the defeat of the. crew of Adventures
who, with smiles on their lips and hate
in their hearts. endeavorcd to obtain con-
troll of the State Government. They wal
lowed.in the mire of the Legislative sta
bles as long as they were allo.. ed to re.
main there. When they were kicked out
BY the native Radicals, they raised the
cry that they were the men to bring about
reform, because they had shared in the
plumber and knew where to find the keys
Of the treasury. No, thank you! They
told the Conservatives that no Conserva-
tive should hold Office under the "set-a-
thiet-to-catch-a-thief" regime. They
had the insolence to say to the white citi-
zens of South Carolina: "Vote for us,
all Of you, and elect us; and, if you do,
you shall have no more power than you
have now. If you don't vote at all, or
do vote for candidates Of your own, all
the blame Of what Mosts may do shall
rest Upon you and yours" They tried
TO lash the whites into supporting them.
And they have failed failed utterly and
ignominiously. 1t is about time that
their faces were turned "to hum" And
there is another point Of note. Not Il
single disturbance, big or little, took
place OH election day. And all reports
agree in saying that the blacks displayed
more independence than ever before
that they are, more generally, thinking
for themselves. This is due, mark you!
to the wisdom of the Conservatives in
rcfraining from Il party contest.

Mr. Greeley on the Late Elections.
Eron, the Cincinnati Commercial.


Mr.. Greeley's views on the October
elections have been freely expressed to
those who have questioned him since his
return from Baltimore. Tc q Herald re-
porter he said: Our people are not like
ly to get frightened by the October re-
suits. We intend to do our best to the
end. l think We can surely count one
hundred and twenty y-eight electoral votes
in the South, and | think the North will
give US the rest. Undoubtedly there
were frauds perpetrated in the Pennsyl
xania.. .elections-irauds that affect the
whole American scheme of self-govern-
ment more dlsastrously than they can
afsssc. niefpefsoSailS asdI RBeheve the
principles Of the Liberal movements are
SO deeply. Embedded in the minds and
hearts Of our people that oily Similar,
fraud can insure the success Of the other
side in November. 1t must be remember

fearsd-sef Pennsylvania notwithstanding
the evil character of the Republican nom'
inees there, more than / did for Ohio, be-
cause our friends were well organized IN
Ohio, and generally lacked organization in
Pennsylvania. Inat least one speech IN
PENNSYLVANIA I strongly urged organiza-
tion. and explained the need of it.
"WiA Nod make amy more tourist tnls
canvass?" asked the reporter. a -
"I do not know" responded the Llber
al Chief. al will visit a number Of agrl
cultural fairs, and if my friends think my
services are needed in the fed, l will GER
tainly acquiesce."
To q World reporter Mr.. Greeley re-
marked, that he saw no reason for any
despordency, and. was as firm as ever in
his Belief that the Liberalswould triumph
in November. The result in Pennsylvania
and Ohio was no real criterion, and should
those States GO the same way in Noyem-
ber, the Liberals stu hdfgooG cause TO
hope for success. HSinpEes9oE was that
the Southern States with prohahlySone
exception, would give Liberal majoritles.

would be added by New York and other
Northern States, were sufficient to insure

ADARING Feat The Columbia Union,
says lone Of the most daring acts we
have heard of FOR many day was per-
formed last evening by Mr.. DeSaussure
Baeot, who is stopping with his. friend
Major Morgan, at the residence Of Judge
Melton. The circumstances are as fol-
lows: The chimney of Judge Melton's
'dwelling-house caught fire, and was bur-
ming out when the sparks, falling thick
upon the dry roof, ignited the shingles.
just at this time the judge happened to
go out, and, discovering the perilons
condition OF his house, was looking
around for ladder TO go up and extin-
guish the flames, when Mr.. Bacot, who,
in Years gone by, was an officer in the
navy, saw the situation, and, going to
the. lightning rod, went up. like flash,
hand over band. The house is three
stories, and, as he 'Hneared the roof, the
Slight fasteuiIiiss .bX .&hich the rod was
held began to give way. A fall from that
hei4if seeifled inevitable bdt,; as quick
lightning, he caught hold of the roof and
tho balustrade, throwing himself on the
roof, and soon extinguished the fire, lace
rating his hands somewhat in doing so
This daring act unquestionable saved
the homo Of Judge Melton from destruc-
tion. -

hear said Of ladies in Edgeiield every
day, especially during the spring and
fall, "Oh, she's just back from Mrs.

simply means that the lady has been to
