We had the pleasure of shake hands,
yesterday, with au old friend, Mr.. W. J.
Vereen, who is on his way home to spend
the Christmas holidays. The Edge6eld
Advertiser speaks OF him thusIy:
"W. J. Vereen, of South Carolina,
with Anderson, Starr & Co., Of New
York" For this card, in another CO.
lumn, we beg the attention of the public
generally, and especially Of all merchants
il our State. That is. if there remains
a merchant in South Carolina who does
not already purchase his ready-made
clothing from this great and enterprising
firm. Mr.. Vereen, their representative
in South Carolina, has just departed
from among US. He is Georgetown
man, and gentleman of the fret water.
We have known him in his locale on
Broadway, and we have known him here.
And he will emphatioally do to tie to.
He is going up and down the route of
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad, and also of the Greenville
Road. If he does not leave troops Of
friends and customers behind, wherever
he goes, it will be because the merchants
arc fatally blind to their own interest.

by some Republican journals that the
Herald desires to excite conflict be.
tween Congress and the Executive, we
shall continue to urge upon the Presi-
dent the expediency and justice Of re.
versal of that policy which, after four
years trial, has left the South in state
of anarchy, at the mercy of the worst
class Of political adventurers and stripped
of all semblance of self-goyernment.
General Grant has enough sagacity to
know that the favorable verdict OF No
vember was rendered on his own per-
sonal merits, and not on the strength or
popularity Of the Republican policy.
There is sufficient evidence to show that
the reconstruction policy of Congress is
distasteful to the people. During the
can 7ass, the Republican organs did not
attempt to justify the Enforcement Act,
but claimed that the President was free
from responsibility for it's passage. The
plea was set up that its provisions would
never be enforced except in extreme
cases, "'id the complaints Of the oppres.
sion Of the Southern whites were met
either by ridioulo or bold denial.
In the face Of the recent events in
Louisiana and Alabama no one will deny
the evils Of the present political condi-
ton OF the South, and the necessity of o
speedy reform. In one of these States,
through what President Grant calls q
miserable scramble for Office" the city
OF New Orleans has been brought to the
verge OF civil war. Riot and bloodshed

The election in Vermont will take place on
the Sd Of September, and in Maine six days
later. Private iuformAtidh from Vermont
from a gentleman thoroughly posted on the
situation assures US that she will in all prob
ability give the usual majority for the Repub.
lican ticket. Since 1856 she has given unin-
terrupted Republican majorIties In 1856
Fremont received a majority OF %, I27, and
In 1860 Abraham Lincoln, 22972. At Mr..
LincOln's second election his majority was
27,O9S, which was increased to 32,l25 for
Gen. Graut. The average majority at State
elections has been g, 900, the lowest In six
teen years having been l4,0S0, and the high.
est 27,S96.
Maine will certainly go Republican. The
Liberals are making the most determined eff
forts to carry the State from the supposed In
Huenco that 1t will have on tho Presidential
canvass. The Republican majority In 1860
was 1851; In 1870, 0, $685. and 10 1871, 1861.

The nomination OF Gen. Dix seems to have
Infused fresh hope and courage into the Re-
publican canvass In New York. The cheers
that went out from the Utica convention
when the old veteran was put at the head Of
the ticket arc re-echOcd from all portions of
the Empire State. Tho Liberals, II we may
Judge from their organs, are considerably de-
morallzcd. The Tribune, the principal organ
Of tho Democracy, attacks Gen. Dix in a
mean, contemplate sort OF q way, entirely
characteristic of that Journal under It's pres
cut management. II opens It's columns to a
correspondent who attacks him on the ground
that he was q johnson man and attended the
Philadelphia convention. Just sec how logl'
cal the Tribune Is In this. What Mr.. Greeley
may have said or done few years ago. what
his present supporters may have said or done
Il, according to the Tribune, totally Irrelevant
TO the present campaign. Butwhat Gen. Dix
said Of the Philadelphia convention in 1865 Is
now used against him TO ALLEVIATE Republican
votes. The Tribune will not make much In
this warfare. Gen. Dix has been true TO the
Republicans during the last twelve years, In
thorough accord and sympathy with lis prin-
clples, which cannot be said for Mr.. Greeley.

Notwiihstaudiug The fact that, owing TO
the heated term which has prevailed In every
section Of the country, the Presidential CAM
gaign has hardly begun In real earnest,
the politicians indulge in the congenlal pas
time OF making up electoral tables, In which,
as prejudice prompts, they give the Victory
to the side they would have win. OF course,
there Is the widest difference Of opinion on
the subject There probably mover was a
Presidential campaign In which there arc
more wild guesscs and surmiscs. Gratz
Brown, for instance. confidently Expressed
the opinion, some weeks ago, that Gen.
Grant could not possibly carry more than
three States, one Of which, strange to say,
was Connecticut. Mr.. Greeley himself, ac-
cordlug to private letter written by him u
week or ten days ago to friend In this city,
says the Liberals need not count upon carry
ing only four States In the East among
which Pennsylvania Is not included.
The Philadelphia Press printed some spCcu-
lations oDths subject few days agu, which
we ilnd going the rounds of somU Of our CO.
tcmporaries, conccdlug to Mr.. Greeley all the
States which went Democratic at the last
election held In them, namely, Alabama,

1t will be seen that there Is a pretty wide
difference Of opinion between these two.
That Gen. Grant can carry only thirteen
States Is absurd. Pennsylvania and Indiana
are certain to 90 against Greeley. There Is
another element now entering into the cam
palgn which has not been taken into con-
sideratiOu, aud which may upset all OF tho
above calculations, namely, the straight-out.
movement. Sheer at 1t as tho Liberals may,
there is no doubt that Mr.. Greeley and his
friends arc afraid OF It, aud look with con-
siderable apprehension to Louisville. ThCu,
again, New York without which Mr.. Greeley
cannot possibly be elected Is becoming every
day more and more doubtful. Gen. Dlx's
nomination has developed unexpected
strength, aud II Is just as likely as not that
the electoral vote OF the Empire State may
be cast for the Republican nominees In No

"stale, HAT and improbable, and the ridIcu-
lOus fellows who started Greeley hats and
Greeley fans lew weeks ago have grown
ashamed OF them and laid them aside. The
once noisy Greeley clubs are now heard no

The SELECTION of Frederick Douglass to
