A VERY GREAT DIFFERENCE The o.
tober elections in 1868 were fairly indi-
cative of the then forthcoming election
of Gen. Grant. But there was o very
different state of affairs then from that
which now exists. In three States then
Missouri, Tennessee and West Vir-
ginia-the white population was largely
disfranchised. The negroes and carpet
baggers were almost the only voters, and
Missouri was made to give Grant 25, 900
majority, Tennessee 10000 majority,
and West Virginia nearly 5000 majority.
All of these States, whose aggregate
electoral vote is thirty-two, are now cor
tain for Greeley by immense majorities.
Missouri will give him Sc, 900, Tennessee
10000, and West Virginia 15, 900. Again,
there were three Southern States in 1868
which we're not permitted to vote at all
Virginia, Texas and Mississippi. Gree.
ley will sweep the first two like wild-fre,
and has an equal chance with Grant in
the third. This is an additional differ
ence of twenty-seven electoral votes in
favor OF Greeley. Then, again, the fol-
lowing States, which voted for Grant in
1868, are now more likely to vote for
Greeley: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecti-
out, New Hampshire, North Carolina
and Florida. Score up forty-one more,
or total electoral vote of 100, which
Seymour did not get in 1868, and which
Greeley is likely to get in 1872. The re-
sult OF the October elections this year is,
therefore, no absolute test of the result
in November. The circumstances ore
different, and the consequences will be
different.

The New York Herald. after giving on
account of the crimes of twenty two
men, who are now in the Tombs, await
ing their trial for murder, says:
The two principal figures. however,
among this crowd of men charged with
murder, are Foster and Stokes. Foster's
last hope now lies in the Coart of Ap.
peals, before which tribunal he will pro-
6ahly be taken in November next. He
is hopeful for his life, and shows no
signs of fear that he will be adiudged a
real murderer. Stokes bears his posi-
ton much less fretfully now than he used
to bear it. His great confidence in an
acquittal by jury having been de-
stroyed, he began to recognize with bet
ter sense the perilous position in which
he was placed, and he has now become
tolerably reconciled to the tortures and
privations of prison existence. His
health is not failing, and be, too, is hope
fnl. In fact. the reporter was informed
that there was not poor wretch in the
Tombs from whose sinful breast Heaven
has yet taken the poor consolation of O
little hope for the future.

TRUTH ABOUT HORACE GREELEY. MFR.
Greeley's personal participation in the
campaign has been to his signal credit.
During 200 speeches, short and long,
and, for tho most part, sudden and
impromptu, he uttered no unwise word.
On the other hand, these railway and
balcony utterances demonstrated to the
American people their authors uncom.
mon nobility Of mind and heart. Mr..
Greeley, by his brief candidacy, has
made great intellectual and moral i'm
preston. This exhibition of msgnif-
cent common sense in the candidate
shows what rare and admirable be-
havior we would get from him in the
Presidential chair. "Whatever happens
in November" said Mr.. Greeley to few
friends the other day, II hope it will be
said Of me that have acted my port and
done my duty WELL" We believe that
this tribute will be universal and sponta-
neous throughout the ranks of the
Liberal Republican and Democratic
parties. From the beginning OF the
canvass until now, nigh it's close, Mr.
Greeley hos grown steadily in the re.
spect of his opponents and the esteem
OF his friends. Golden Age.

The State FnIr.

The fonrth annual fair of the Agrioul-
tural and Mechanical Society of South
Carolina will soon be held in our city.
1t is great levor of progress in the ma
terial and industrial development of our
State; affords an opportunity for the
happy, social commingling of our active,
worthy citizens from all sections; is o
source of large revenue to the merchants
and business men of our city, and as
such, deserving of the hearty support of
the press, whose only legitimate sphere
of dnty is to guard and advance the
public interests. The indications are
that the approaching fair will surpass
any of its predecessors, in the number
of attendants and the variety, value and
attraction of the articles exhibited. The
premium list has been largely entended
and more correctly systematized. and
every necessary step taken to make the
fair success.
As we have before remarked, the fair
ls, aside from its general importance to
the State, OF immense advantage to the
city of Columbia. BY means of it,
thousands upon thousands of dollars are
brought into our city every year, and
makes marked impression for good
upon every branch of business. It is
the duty, as it is the interest, of the citi-
zens of Columbia and our city anthori-
ties to do everything in their power to
make tho fair permanent and flourish
ing institution. We are sorry to see
from recent resolutions adopted by the
City Council. that it is proposed to insti-
tute, or to push forward legal proceed
ings already instituted against the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Society, to test
the titles to the Fair Grounds, now
claimed and held by the society or by
trustees to their use. Into the merits of
the case we have not fully inquired; nor
would it be proper for us, peahaps, to
comment upon it, even if we were more
fully posted. We do hope, however,
that the matter will be arranged in some
way, SO as not to ieopardize the large
interests which the people OF Columbia,
especially. have at stake in keeping our
annual State Fair held here.

ARRESTS UNDER THE Ku Knux Law

ARRESTS UNDER THE KU KLUx LAW
Enraged at the result of the recent cleo
tion in this State, Grant seems to have
put Georgia under the ban, and has in.
structed his myrmidons to commence the
work Of bounding down and incarcerat.
ing her citizens. This warfare was in.
augurated night before last, by a raid
upon the people Of Wilkinson County.
From gentleman who came in yester.
day on the Central Railroad, We obtained
the particulars of the affair.
On Friday night, tho train from Macon
brought down strong detachment ol
soldiers. detailed for duty from the At
lanta garrison. The party was accompa.
MED by number of colored guides. AT
Station No. 16, which is near Irwinton,
the County site of Wilkinson, squad ol
the soldiers and three OF the negro
guides left the cars and sailed into the
country. At Station No. Is, the remain.
der Of the soldiers and two negro guides
disembarked. At the dead of night,
these troops marched from house to
house, arresting citizens, dragging them
from their beds and carrying them away
from their families. During tho night,
they arrested ten citizons-Dr. T. A.
Simmons, FL. e. Hyman, r. G. Hymnn,
W. Q. D. Carwile. George Gilbert, Eli
Peacock, VIM. Dickson, Jethro Vallau-
bingham, Charles Peacock and Milton
Lindsay. The prisoners were placed on
tho train yesterday, and taken to Savan.
nah under guard. The charges against
the parties are not definitely known. II
is supposed that three Of the gentlemen
are accused of being implicated in the
killing of Deason, the Sheriff of the
County, which occurred more than a
year ago. The others. it is believed, are
charged with having mntilated some
colored men.-Augusta Chronicle.

scarcely justified in saying that he is i'm

The FIsK-MANsFIELD INJUNCrIoS.-It was
Understood yesterday that Judge John X. Brady
had nearly completed his opinion aud decision
on the famous injunction of Pratt, which pre-
vents the publication of the letters of Fisk be-

in view of the present movements against the

looked for with interest. III he dissolves the
junction the letters can be suppressed by the
compromise OF the parties to the present litiga-
ton, ana this is improbable. The opposition to
Erie is now strong enough to buy these letters

probably be used in this way instead of being
destroyed. The statement published Yesterday
