The PRESIDENTIAL ELEc1IoN.-The St.
Louis Republican draws attention to the fact
that the Presidential election will not take
place, as in generally believed, che same day in
all the States 1t will begin in Louisiana or
the 4th of November. All the other States, ex,
cept Texas, will vote on the 9Th, and Texas will
close up the business with four days election,
from the 5th to the Sth inclusive. Louisiana
is required to vote on the 4th-one day in ad,
vance of the other States-by special act OF
Congress at its last session. Why, the Repub-
hcaa adds, this enactment was passed, it is hard
to conjecture, unless for the reason that the
Administration party want to use their expec-
ted victory iu Louisiana to assist them in other
States. The four days voting in Texas is sim
ply device adopted by the Radical Legisla-
ture of that State several years ago for the pur-
pose of trotting negroes from one precinct to
another, and thus increasing the Radical vote.

''Younq Mems Progressive Party"

The Clarendon Press sometime ago suggested
the idea of forming party of progressive
young men in this State, who wonld leave the
past behind them in political action, and seek
to gain control of public affairs. The last
number of that paper contains the following
assurance that this suggestion has been acted
upon, viz: ..... III, e, 49,
We are glad to record the fact that we have
in this County, q "Young Mems Progressive
Party forming Their, object is TO preserve
the honor and integrity of the white race in,
tact, by pointing out, through the force OF
moral saasion alone, the. dangers threatening
corrupt regime, now running our land and
country. and TO-, prevent them by familiarity
with the same from gradually sliding into the
channels where honor and all would be lost.
ha Nor hs dHss sa pSe son sAeHa one % Of ss IT'S ese cts
win be to educate those of their colored fellow
citizens, who will listen to reason, up to that
point which will convince them that honesty
and capacity are essentials not to be ignored in
men who would represent or serve them in Of
fetal stations. That no people can be prosper.
GUS and happy who suffer the standard of moral
worth and excellence to be lowered, and places
the direction Of its affairs in the hand of vennl
bad men. That the interest of the two races
are identical, that with the acceptance Of the
Amendments to the Constitution on our part,
known as the XIV and XIV Amendments,
in which we concur, that there is no just or
reasonable grounds for dissension between us.
That neither the party cry of Democracy or
Republicanism should be heard in political
campaigns, but instead the vital question of
fitness and honesty alone should induce our
support. Their best efforts will be directed, in
season and out of season, to convincing the
masses that mere party names are tho prolific
source of nearly all our troubles. They pro-
mote demagoguism, and enable bad designing
men to procure Offices, simply through the
agency of blind party dictation, when their
merited iusigni6cance should assign them hum
bier positions These are principles founded
upon Justice and the real interest of the coun-
try. They may not be crowned with success at
first, for the element upon which they are in
tended to exert salutary influence is at pres
ent hostile to, and view such reasoning with
distrust, but time is great conservative power,
and with it will come better understanding
of the situation upon the part of all citizens of
South Carolina. Then we feel confident that
the good results of course, which is intended
not to abandon the political field to the carpet
Dagger and adventurer, will be seen and apprc-
ciated by all men who would see our country
with unfeigned joy take higher, nobler stand
in the scale of civilization and material wealth.

The October Elections

The elections which took place on the Sth
inst, for, State officers and members Of Con-
gress in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana re-
suited chiefly il a victory forthe Radical party.
The majority in Pennsylvania is from $4,000
10 80, 900, according to- estimates, but the Off
cial returns are relied upon to reduce the fig
ures somewhat The Liberals and Democrats
charge that gross frauds were perpetfated
by the Radical managers, and chat fair vote
would have elected their candidates.
In Ohio, the Republicans elect thirteen mem
bers of Congress and the Democrats seven
members. According to the estimated mgjori-
ties in the various Congressional Districts, the
Radicals have carried the State by $500, which
is a considerable gain for the Liberals and
Democrats, who are confident of their ability
to largely increase their vote in November, and
carry the State for Greeley and Brown.
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Indiana, has been
elected by majority of six OF eight hundred
votes. The Republicans elect the balance OF
the State ticket, besides the Congressman ct
Large, which shows that Mr.. Hendricks ran
ahead of his own ticket. Eight Radicals and
three Democrats are elected,to Congress. Hon.
Daniel W.. VOORHEES,, the staunch and gallant
friend of the South through all her trials and
difficulties, was defeated by small vote.
|, We confess to great disappointment in the
result of these elections. Indications prior to
last week pointed strongly to Democratic sue
cess in Pennsylvania and Indiana, but the
Radical triumph in those States makes the
election of Grant highly probable, in our judg-
ment. The adherents of MIR. Greeley through
out the North remain undaunted, however, and
claim that the tide will turn in their favor.
We cannot join in this expectation, for the
reason that naturally enough there are thou
sands in every State who will become dispirited
and disheartened at the results last week, and
either forsake the cause of Mr. Greeley openly
or remain away from the polls, We expect to
have four years more of GraIltism, and shall
only be too happy to become disappointed IN
such expectation when the votes are counted
in November.

RALEIGH, N. O., October ia horrible
explosion, which shook every building in the

Tribute of Respect.

We copy the following justly deserved tribute
TO the late Mr.. James B. Smith, of this Coun-
ty, from the last number of the Greenyille
Moantameer. Mr. Smith was the eldest son of
our friend, J. Munroe Smith, of Equality. He
was young man of fine intellect and excellent
moral character, as is strongly attested by the
action of the people in the vacinity of Fair
view, Greenville County, among whom he lived
for short time as an instructor of youth. The
Fairyiew Church, Sunday School and eommu-
nifty generally united in giving expression to
their appreciation of this noble young man by
the adoption of the following preamble and
resolutions: e'-----
WHEREAS, God in His inscrutible provi-
dence. has removed from his place among the
living, Mr.. James B. Smith, A. B., we take this
method of giving expression to our feelings,
and appreciation of his worth, praying that He,
who has thus broken, will sanctify and heal all
who may feel affected Therefore,
Resolued, That in his death the family, State
and Church have sustained an irreparable loss
the family, high-toned, dutiful son; the
State, one of her brightest ornaments; the
Church, burning and shining light.
lReaolued, That while we retain gratefully in
memory of his seryices as Assistant Superin-
tendent in our Sunday School, and self-sacri-
fcing efforts as teacher in our Academy, we
tender our heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved
family, community, Sunday School and Church,
wherein he lived, suffered and died. y.
Resolued, That we ask the proprietors OF pa
pers in Greenville and Anderson to publish the
above, believing that in so doing they may aid
the dead in speaking for the benefit of the
living.
May the young men Of our State and country
see the excellence, and be encouraged by the
power of his moral character. Amen.
