THE ELECTIONS.

sufficient returns have been re-
rciycd to indicate that the liepubli-
cans have carried Pennsylvania and
Nebraska by increased majorities.
They have also carried Ohio, but by
"a reduced majority. Indiana has
gone for the Liberal ticket by
small majority These results by
no means decide the Presidential
contest. 1t will be remembered by
old politicians that in the State cleo
tioys preceding the Presidential
election i'm 18lO,.the Democrats car
ricd several States that in one month
after went, by good majorities, for
Old Tippecanoe; and, as this cam
paign j. much like that in many re-
spects, we by no means dispair of
the success of honest old Horace in
a square fight with Grant
Ia commenting on the late cleo
tions, the New York Tribune says ::
1.-THE Liberals have been cheated
out Of Pennsylvania; that they have
made great gains in Ohio, but not
enough in the State, and have moth
ing discOuraging from Indiana. The
latter State, the Tribune believes,
cannot be wrested from the Liberals
even by the enormous villainies at
tempted in colinization and false
counting, and claims the election of
Greeley in seventeen States, and one
hundred and twenty votes for Grant
i'm twelve States, including Ohio
and Pennsylvania, leaving as doubt
full eight States with sixty-cight
votes.

PETER PEARSON.

Our old friend, Peter Pearson, Is
again making an active canvass for
the Legislature in Henderson couu-
ty, and we are informed that while
his prospects for election are good,
there is some opposition to him by
Conservatives, on account of his
position heretofore Oh the railroad
tax. We regret this, because we
believe that Mr.. Pearson, though
mistaken in his views, was inilu-
enced by the purest motives, and
cast his vote against the tax from
high convictions of duty.
But this is another canvass, high
er interests are involved, and mere
local ideas must be sunk out of
sight if we would save our State
from a Radical victory. We assure
our friends that we would regret to
see old Henderson falter in this
hour Of trial. Sh0 owes it to her
past history to elect Pearson aud de-
feat his competitor.

Tho unnoc,n, Candidate.

The Hon. (?) Franklin j. Moses, Jr.,
presented himself, together with mum
ber of others, at a political meeting, last
Wednesday night, to vindicate himself
and refute the charges madeagainst him.
He commenced in the same old time
worn way by informing his eager listen
ers chow embarrassing it was to him to
appear before such large aud enthusias.
tic audience" Embarrassing is good
and if there is anything i'll this world
intended to embarrass man it il for Il
we'll known scape grace to'get up before
an honest audience and try to vindicatt
himself when he knows he is guilty.
"He knows how it Is himself" and we
should think, uuder such circumstances,
his position Was embarrassing.
During his remarks he took from his
pocket copy of the Charleston Repu6ii
eau and said that 50 paper III Charleston
had propounded q terrible string OF
questions for him to answer that even
ing. He would not shrink from answer
ing all those questions" In answer to
the charge regarding the Roberts Arms
Company, he said he authorized only
Sl23, 900 for tho alteration of the guns,
and that upon the books Of the Financial
Agent there appeared charged S2OG, 600,
and that he knew nothing whatever OF
this additional charge. What burning
shame it is to try to injure the character
Of such an honest, upright and noble
minded hero. But merely saying he
knew nothing of this additional amou mt
of $500 won't do; he must shOv
proof, which he cannot produce That
kind of ''beating about the bush" is "too
thin," for we have heard such haranguea
before, from just such men as the Hon.
(?) Franklin J.
In reply to the charge Of issuing "pny
certificates" he had very little to say,
we'll knowing that the citizens OF this
State knew already full we'll that he did
issue ''pay certificates" aud to attempt
to clear himself would be only making
matters worse.
Everybody knows that the Hon. ~
franklin J. is most honorable and Just
man, and that he h"s only issued over
81 900, 900 OF pay certificates, and gorged
his pockets to their fullest extent; and
'.yet he is not happy" but wants to be

MIR. Tomlinson's Letter.

We publish elsewhere letter from
Mr.. Reuben Tomlinson, the bolter's can
didate for Governor. in response to an
editorial of the Charleston Ne,rs. calling
upon him for reply to the charges
made against him by the Irregular
rogues." Ths letter is as satisfactory as
is possible, under the circumstances. It
does not prove Mr.. Tomlinson's inno-
oence, but it is just such letter as an
innocent and upright man of proper
spirit would write. We are not inclined
to give easy credence to the tales of cor.
ruption which have been trumped up
against Tomlinson since his nomination,
by the very rasoals whom he is opposing.
Considering the source from which they
spring. they are certainly unworthy of
belief, unless they can be substantiated
by some more reliable evidence than the
mere testimony OF men who, being guilty
OF theft, would certainly not scruple at
bearing false witness. We hope that the
proof which was promised by Judge
Melton, in case of denial, will be i'm
mediately forthcoming, 80 that the peo-
pie may judge of its worth. II Mr..
Tomlinson is corrupt man, he is equally
undeserving with Moses of the support
of any honest man; if, on the contrary,
his moral integrity is as unsullied as it
has hitherto been considered, then it is
the duty of every good citizen to give
him their hearty endorsement at the
polls.

TIE SOUTHERN CELr ON THE RING. =

LIE SOUTHERN CELT ON THE RING =
The Southern Cell. Grant Republican
paper, published in Charleston, says:
"The administration of the affairs of
this State, for. the last four years, has
been system of public robbery, q can
cerous sore, leprosy and stencil, that
has shocked the moral sense and aroused
the indignation of every honest man,
from the st. Lawrence to the Rio
Grande. The names of the ring are
known to every school-boy in the land
as we'll as the names Of Jack Sheppard,
Claude Duval, Captain Kidd, Benedict
Arnold and Judas Iscariot. Everybody
knows that these men, from abject po-
verify, have become millionaires in the
short four years il which they have
ruled and ruined the unfortunate State
OF South Carolina. They have done
more than any men living to degrade
and disgrace the credit of this State, to
destroy the Republican party, and to
defeat Gen. Grant in the coming cleo
ton. And yet We are called upon and
urged to vote for two of these very men,
one for Governor. the other for Trea-
surer, the most important positions, sim
ply because they have seduced other aud
ooIIoi uou " buelC6T CuoLn, ana because
they write platform in which they say

''No wonder the Democrats say they
don't know what to do. They cant run
ticket with any hope of success II
they support and elect Tomlinson. they
help to purify and re-cstabllsh the Re.
publican party in this State and through
out the country-the very last thing
they propose to do. If they support
Moses. then they 60 back on oil their
fine words, and deliberately vote for the
man they have denounced and exposed
to the world. Did New York vote for
reform led by Boss Tweed or any of his
crew. Is it not absurd to expect the
men who destroy State during the day
to reform it during the night. If the
Democrats refuse to vote for Tomlinson,
or, what is the same thing, refuse to vote
at all. under the pretence that it is
billed OWL done up in carpet-bag, il
will be because they hate the Republican
party moro than they love reform; and
prefer military government to the best
shape Republican administration could
assume"

The melancholy seafaring man whose
only joke was to call himself the cook
and captain and mate of the Nancy
brig, the boatswain tight and the mid
shipmite, and the crew of the captains
gig, because he had incorporated all
these men and brethren in his own can
nibal system. reminds one of the figure
cut Gu by Mr.. Duncan toward the CLOSE of
his convention. Most of the delegates
had gone home disgusted, and each as
he went authorized Duncan to cast his
vote. So that as the meeting hickered
to it's close. the only imposing figure
left in it was the undaunted Blanton,
victorious over his gout and impervious

The Grant press insist that the Liber-

evidently anxious that it shall have pro-
per attention and medical treatment It
would certainly make lively patient for
any OF the Administration practitioners.
The Chicago Tribune says: "To assume
that the reform movement is on the de-
cilne IS to assume that the people have
lost their intelligence, their desire for
honest government, and their hatred of
corruption. Instead OF the reform move
ment being on the decline, it was never
80 promising as now. The battle against
GO.000 offlce-holders, with the National
Treasury to draw upon, is, of course, a
severe one. But contest with fraud.

CHESTER, SC, Sept. Z, 1872.


CHESTER, s. c., Sept. 7, 1872.
Mr.. EDITOR: To-day has been great
day for the Republicans of this County
The County Republican Convention con-
vened OF IL o'clock A. M. Hon. Thos.
Jefferson Mackey was elected lin the
words of the temporary chairman) "pro-
minent chairman" with his brother-in-
law, "a Mr.. Lloyd, imported for the occa-
sion,) rs clerk. His Honor made his
usual speech to his "fellow-R -Republi-
cans" and announced the Convention
ready for business. The roll of dele
gates was called. and forty eight respond
ed to their names, after which the Con-
vention proceeded to vote for candidates
for the County Offices and members for
the State Legislature. The first nomi-
nation was Col. B. G. Yocum for Sheriff.
He received forty-five votes, having no
opposition. There was quite an excite
ment over the candidates for Clerk of
the Court. O. G. Mccoy and W. NJ.
Mcdonald being the contestants, the no.
mination resulted in the selection of @.
O. Mccoy. There was quite squabble
sioners, there being some eighteen can
didates. This occasioned great merri-
ment for the delegates and lookers-on.
His Honor the Judge is full of wit, and
looked happy. Things had thus far
passed on lovely for his Highness, but.
''alas! alasl what dreams do come!" Be-
fore the Convention adjourned, the ire
pressible Thomas Jefferson had drawn
1nkS NH
present to the Convention, viz:
"Article l. We. the regular Republi-
cans OF South Carolina, in Convention
assembled, do hereby endorse and pledge
ourselves to support the regular State
Republican Convention, &c.
When Col. Yocum asked for the read
was something in the wind. The article
being read. the battle at once began.
The Colonel made speech, both pithy,
eloquent and argumentative, against the
immediate consideration of the resolu-
ton. This seemed and proved the will
of the Convention. The Colonel said
that there was rumor current that the
regular Republican State Central Com
mittee had sent delegates to Washington
to ask the removal Of Col. Merrill. and
Oo'' oAOndS pObLb OI IOTh-
vile and Chester, s. c.; also, the Hon.
d. Z. Corbin, United States District At
torney; and threatened the President OF
the United States, U. S. Grant, that,
unless he coincided with their wishes,
they would surrender their party and
principles, and vote for Horace Greeley
for the next President. He could not
and would not consent to this. and we'll
knew the Republicans of Chester County
would not. The Judge WAS thunder
struck. He spouted and denounced, in
most virnlent terms, Corbin. Merrill and
Yocum, aud carpet-baggers generally.
His speech, though loud, foil as dead as
the man who made it. Yocum respond
ed, and never did man get such rak-
ing in all his life as did the Hon. Judge
Thomas Jefferson, the irrepressble no
more.
The Convention left the court room
without being properly adjourned.
Shouts OF applause and cries of "Goodl
goodl hurrah for Yocuml" the Judge
bundling up his resolutions and quitting
the house in disgust This is no fight
of ours. We leave it to the great un-
washed. Yours, VERITAS.
