Hobson's Choice.

Nothing has been said or written to shake
the. confidence of TIE NEWS In the practlcal
wisdom Of massing the Conservative vote
upon the candidates selected from the noml-
nations made by the Bowen and Mackey
factions. These. candidates are before the
people. They are, in the deliberate
Judgment OF this paper, the only candidates
whom the Conservatives can elect, and they
are lily.white in comparison with the men
who will file into Office, and fatten there Of
the public expense, if any other course

The Argument In a Nutshell.

The argument against nominating q Con-
seryative ticket is as short as it is conclu-
sive.
The colored vote in Charleston County ID
more than double the white vote; the Re
publican vote is at least double the white
vote. This is proved by the result OF the
election for members OF the Legislature IN
1870. Taking the average vote OF the Blk
highest candidates upon the Bowen ticket
and the like average for the six highest
upcn the DeLargs ard the Reform hckeIs'
excluding any candidates who'ran on Two
tickets) it is found That the vote was
Bowen IL, $50, DeLarge 345s, and Reform
6741. The Republican vote, therefore, was
IA, 500, which is more than double the
average Reform vote. The Conservatives
were thoroughly organized; the county was
carefully canvassed; there was liberal ex-
penditure Of money. No sane man can sup.
pose that a Conservative ticket, nominated
at this eleventh hour, would poll as many
votes as were given to the legislative ticket
in the Scott Carpenter contest. And If it
did obtain such a vote, and it the Republic
| can vote were 80 divided that precisely as
many Republicans voted for the aackey
Legislative ticket as for the Bowen leglsla-
tive ticket, the Conservative ticket UouAd
stu be- defeated. This is the most cheerful
view, blue as it is.
No one denies that the six or seven thou
sand Conservatives in this county are in q
sorry plight, and naught can be gained BY
Sidipg away the truth. There Is only one
way Of improving the county representation,
and that is by voting solidly the Hobson's
Choice ticket, which ticket, as 1t stands, lisa
far better one than was elected In 1868 or
1870, and Is: infinitely superior to either the
straight Bowen or Mackey ticket. AConser'
yatIve ticket Ia doomed to defeat; the Hob
sons Choice ticket has the fairest prospect
of success. A full Conservative vote will
not be polled, but one.half the Conservative
vote should turn the scale and give 'the
best men of the worst" a decisive victory.
The gain, if small, will be sure. Besides
this, the Radicals, in future elections, willbe
encouraged to nominate some good men.
They will be driven to 1t by party necessity,
Just as soon as they find that it is the policy
the Conservatives to elect the least objec-
Republicans who may be In nomi-
nation, instead Of irittering away their
strength in the vain effort to elect q straight.

A Decisive Day.

The State elections In Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Indiana take place to-day, and before
the gun goes down the Liberals In those
great Commonwealth will know whether
they may advance their banners and march
to victory in November. The prospect Is
exceedingly bright In all three States, but
decisive victory in two OF them Is as much
as We have a right to look for.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1872-10-08
Slow and sure.

The Robson's Choice ticket, as it stands,
is far from being such a ticket as the Con-
servatives, if they had o choice, would
nominate and elect. Its value lies In the
fact that, whatever its faults, it is a better
ticket than can be obtained in any other
way. At the first look-it may be- thought
that it is not worth whilsgto support such Ia
ticket. This is q natural feeling; but the
sober second thought will not justify or con-
firm IL. The successful merchant is he who
takes small profits aohich are sure, instead
OF struggling to make q fortune by a single
operation. The prosperous mechanic Is be
who accepts what work he o obtain, in-
stead Of waiting for the place to which his
tastes incline. In politics, as in business,
sslow and sure" is the policy that wins
The Charleston Conservatives are not politi-
cal gamblers. They cannot afford to put
their fortunes on the hazard OF the die. All
the business instincts Of the Conservatives
who are not politicians will lead them TO
confine their action to the prudent course
OF obtaining the best representation that,
under the circumstances, can be had. This
best ia the Hobson's Choice ticket-a ticket
which can be elected, and which will be
elected If it receives the Conservative vote.

An Unmi.irated scoundreI.

An impostor, calling himself Richard
Fielding, visited the stChurch Fec
tiyal at Rocco Hall, on Tuesday night,
and represented himself as reporter
of the LEDGER and Avalanche. After
partaking of the Inequalities rendered
by the ladies, Fielding made himself
particularly obnoxious by his imperti-
nent remarks and ruffianly conduct.
Officers Brown and Dillon arrested the
villain and conducted him to the station
house. Yesterday he was fined twenty
FIVE dollars by the Recorder on the
charge of being well defined dead beat.
The newspaper reporters of the city are
gravely considering the propriety Of
holding an indignation meeting and ap'
pointing committee to lynch the ras-
cal, Fielding. The city will be made toe
hot tor this chap hereafter. He will
jump the city as soon as possible, or else
he will wind up in the penitentiary-s
result devoutly to be wished for by the
press gang.

n.... YeI,eity.


Last evening the frequenters of an
uptown variety theater were astonished
to see gentleman and lady walk in and
take front seats. The couple were bride
and groom, from the river coast Of Tu-
MICA county, Mississippi The youth was
dressed in ,home-spun, and the blooming
bride in white delane, straw hat with red
flowers and yellow ribbon. The pair sat
confdingly and lovingly together, the
hand Of the bride, encased in white cot
ton glove, wasfrmly held by the manly
partner OF her life. Two friends sat near
the happy couple. When the coryphees
of the ballet dashed towards the foot
lights the, bride hid her face be-
hind the ten cent fan which she held in
her left hand, and whispered to her
liege lord John, these ere girls have
got nothing on" John, who had been
in Memphis a few times, explained to
his bride the mysteries of the ballet from
costume standpoint. The converse
ton between the happy mortals was
carried on in low and earnest tones,
but their laughter at the comicalities of
the performance was heard throughout
the house. When the "beer dispenser"
engaged the two male friends in CONVEX
sation on the subject of procuring lager
for pecuniary consideration, the bride
remarked, John, declare Bill knows
that ere gal" Talk about the primi-
tive innocense of Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden why the honest young
couple from Tunica county excelled
them in this respect by long odds.
True, the loving pair rendered them
selves subject to ridicule, but after all,
it is to such as these good people that
the country looks for prosperity and ad-
vancement. Innocense outside Of child
hood is, unfortunately, not often found
in cities, but it is refreshing to witness
its beautiful existence as it energies
from rural life. What a pity it is not
more generally diffused throughout hui
manity.

JusIice-The Property Recovered.
Some two weeks ago Mrs. Jefferson
Davis lost two valuable diamond rings,
string Of jet beads, gold chain and a
quantity Of wearing apparel. Chief OF
Police Athy, on being informed Of the
loss, ordered detective Cranmer to trail
the matter up. Early this morning the
chief and detective Cranmer we're at the
Little Rock ferry landing and saw ne
gro girl named Lucy Jones slip pack
age to negro drayman. The girl and
the drayman we're at once arrested, and
on demand being made, the latter hand
ed over the package. 1t contained a
cluster ring, diamonds and rubies, val
ued at $3.50; another ring, emerald and
diamonds, valued at 5000; plain gold
wedding ring string Of jet beads and
gold chain, all of which was the prop
erty of Mrs. Davis One of the rings
was testimonial present from the la
dies of Washington City to Mrs. Davis.
The other jewelry had been purchased
in Europe. In the trunk belonging to
Lucy Jones a quantity of clothing was
found which had been stolen from Mrs.
Davis residence. The girl had been in
the employ of Mrs. Davis for several
months, and, since the robbery, had de-
termined to go to Little Rock, whittier
she had started this morning. The rob-
berry was cleverly worked up by the
chief and his trusty detective, who have
kept an eye on the movements of Lucy
Jones ever since the robbery was COM
mitted. t -
