STATE ELECTION NEWS.

Dispatches from all parts of the State
show that Green is running better
than any Independent Candidate since
the war.
Charleston, Anderson, spartanburg
Union, Sumter, Greenville and Lau-
rens, SO far rs heard from, give MAORI
ties for Green. The prospects, flatter
ing. There will certainly be a tremen-
dous Conservative and Independent
gain in the Legislature, whoever is
elected Governor.
1t is thought that Mackay has beat
en- Buttz, and Sam Lee beaten Rainy
for Congress.
1t is almost given up that Kershaw
is elected in his District, and very
probable that MCGOWAN is victorious
in his.

1t was our good fortune to have an
invitation to Sunday School Celebra
tion on Saturday, the Oath instant.
We got there about 10 O'clock and
found a common school house in the
pine forest. but every thing we'll ar
ranged. The speakers stand was beau
fully decorated with wreaths of flowers
by the ladies hands. Every thing was
in such perfect order, and the pro-
gramme so we'll gotten up and carried
out by the Secretary, Mr.. j. X. Herb
rand, and the Superintendent, Mr..
ID. O. Jeffcoat, and all the teachers
and assistants, that too much praise
cannot be given them. We were told
that this school was started there five
years ago by lady, and has been 60
ing ever since, both winter and sum-
mer.
The exercises began at II o'clock
with singing and prayer by the Rev.
Mr.. sifley. After this the speaking
commenced by the boys and girls,
which was first rate. The order was
rs follows:
"Introductory" by Master Conner
Jeffcoat; 'NWe are growing DID," by
Louisa Davis; "Our obligation" by
Master Lawton Jeffcoat; "Our best
wishes" by Miss Cornelia Williams /;
"True Eloquence," by. George Davis;
"The better land" by Miss e Williams;
"Vindication of South Carolina" by
Master Dan Davis, which was fine !;
Temperance" by Miss A X. JeAEcoat;
and Liberty and knowledge" by
Muster Asbury Pearson.
The smaller ones then spoke and all
did well. The Secretary then annouc
cd that Master Henry Phillips would
deliver nh address in behalf of his
school, which he did to the satisfaction
of all present.
Rev. j. T.. Siiley then addressed the
pchool and gave much gold advice.
After this the Committee arranged the
tables, and Mr.. Editor, if you could
have seen into those baskets and boxes
you would have said it was o. real feast
of every thing good and nice that
could be thought of. Every thing
went of splondldly. We hopo Mr..
Jcficoat may live to carry on his good
work for many years to come. L.

The dispatches from every State, in
which elections were held on Tuesday,
indicate immense Democratic gains.
Even Republican Massachusetts, is said
to have gone Democratic. Thompson
(Dem.) has beaten B. F. Butler to
Congress. Republicans concede that
the Democrats are victorious.
The Democrats sweep New York.
In Pennsylvania a telegram from Re-
publican sources says: "It is feared
that the State has gone Democratic. !"
We have no space in this issue at
this late hour to give all the cheering
,idings.
A dispatch from Washington says
"The Democrats here are very jubi-
liant, believing that the returns from
every where, throughout the country
will show immense Democratic gains" :"
The political revolution this fall is
complete.

Whatever may be the result of the
election, tho white people of South
Carolina enjoy the consciousness of
having done their full duty towards
tho cclorcd race. Both in 1870 and
1874 they buried prejudices, and held
out the olive branch ofpeace and recon
ciliation.
In 1870, by the advice of their lead
crs, the colorcd people rejected these
proiIers CT union, and in 1874 these
snme lenders, for the purpose ofextcnd
ing their lease of power, have again
shakon before the ignorant and blind
cd colored people tho old Democratic
skeleton, and tho ever faithful Radical
Office winner. The Blnck Code.
These aro tho regular agencies, used
by tho unprinciplcd creatures who arc
living by Office md official pap, to pre-
vent tho two races from coming togeth
or on common platform of honesty
and good government.
1t is but natural that sucl, repeated
rcjcctions of tho ccncilatory PROPOSE
tlons of tho white people will tcnd to
drive them to an opposite course, and
adopt such other peaceful md lcgi.i-
mate measures MS mny bonccossary for
their own good.
We regret that the colored people
aeem determined to be lead by office
seekers to oppose every thing upon
which the white people are disposed

Boston Boot and Shoe Market.

The shipments of boots and shoes from this mar.
ket to places outside Of New England for the past
week have been 1902 cases, against IL 2Ol cases
for the corresponding week last year.
Total shipments for the first six months OF the
year, 5253l cases, against 537,60G cases tor same
period last year.
The shipments from Lynn for the week have been
062 cases, against l245 for the same week la
year.
The shipments from IIaverhill for the vueg have
been 9i3 cases, against 1901 eases for the cores
ponding week last year.
The business prospects brighten every day, and
the market is well represented by BUYERS from
every section. and the shipments of boots and
heavy goods to some of the principal markets has
already commenced. Buyers, however, are not
excited and are making their selections with great
caution, and have not purchased any large stocks
as yet. There is very little doubt, however, but
what a large quantity of goods will be needed to
supply the actual demand, and while manufacture
ers have worked carefully, there is fair assert
ment of the various STYLES and descriptions from
which buyers can supply their wants. Business in
the shoe towns has commenced IN earnest, and the
factories are running the regular hours. Prices to
the large buyers have been already made, and
there will doubtless be but little change. They do
not vary materially from those of last year. anu
the profits to the manufacturers will be close.

The Connecticut Democratic papers, which
have been in love with independent journal.
ism, are now in distress at the least criticism
of the democratic legislature of that State.
They should publish Noah Webster's old fable
about the OK that was gored.
"White Leagues" it is said, are being or
ganized all over Louisiana, and their intlu
ence is seen in the advocacy by the opposition
press of the discharge of all colored persons
in the employ of whites. In conversation
the commander of the militia in the State re-
Gently said: "These leagues may precipitate
war at any time; the State is without pro-
lection fear the coming compaigu."
The Indianapolis Journal quotes figures
showing that the local taxes of democratic
counties in Indiana have been invariably
higher than those of counties controlled by
the republicans in 1868, 1870, 1872 and 1873.
And it adds: I'm all these years, and always,
as far as attanable facts enable us to Judge,
democratic local taxes have been from twenty
one to thrtyo cents on 500 higher than
republican"

WANTED-AN EXPOUNDEF.

The interpretations placed upon the
plank in the democratic platform OF this
State declaring for Free Trade are sadly
at variance. The organs OF the party do
not agree as TO its meaning. One news
paper explains ii one way, another takes
a different view of it. One says it means
no tariff and direct taxation, another de-
clares that nobody but n willing would
place such an Interpretation upon it. The
New York World labored brayely the
other day through an entire column to
prove, if its argument was correct, that
there is no Free Trade in the platform,
and roundly abused Speaker Blaine Tor
his attack, although he founded the re-
marks in his letter upon the very words OF
the resolve and Mr.. Titcomb's letter Of
acceptance. Turning from the columns Of
the World to those of the Maine Democrat,
the organ of the democracy Of York coun-
ty, the home of Mr.. Titcomb, the demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, we find it
saying 1.-THE only safe rule is NO TAR
IFF, thus placing itself in perfect acord
with Mr.. Titcomb's ideas as promulgated
in his letter wherein he pronounces in ia
yor of direct taxation. No tariff of course
means genuine free trade and direct taxa
ton, the latter being the inevitable Sc
quence of the former. With tariff how
ever small there must be all the custom
house machinery for collecting it which
we now have, all the embarrassments to
trade now existing, consequently with a
tariff there could be no Free Trade.
But while Mr.. Titcomb and his home
paper stand squarely upon the democratic
platform and the doctrine of Free Trade,
why is it that the World, the Argus, and
the Standard are undertaking to give the
platform an Interpretation of their own,
different from that generally placed upon
it by democrats, and different from the
avowed opinion of the candidate placed
upon it? Did the democracy of Maine in
tend to 60 before the people with two
faced platform? Did they mean to stand
on Free Trade when they adopted re-
solve declaring for it ? or was the act a
sham, cheat, lie ? If the article in the
World is correct, then Mr.. Titcomb is
wrong, and now the question is, which is
right and which wrong.
1t is possible that the democrats Of
Maine and of New York rs well, did not
know the force of the democratic plat
form in this State until their eyes were
opened by Speaker Blaine's letter. This
may account for the sudden backward
movement along the line of the Free
Traders, notice of which was first sound
ed by the alarmed organ in New York,
and obeyed so promptly by the still more
frightened democratic papers in this State
that they have left Mr.. Titcomb high and
dry where his letter places him. At any
rate the predicament of the opposition is
so peculiar that an authoritative EXPOSE
ton of their platform is needed, and this
may necessitate another State Convention
and another candidate instead of Mr.. Tit

The grasshopper plague in the West is a
terrible visitation to the people where it
is felt. The passing of the grasshoppers
from place to place in the air is like the
moving of CLOUDS, and in few hours they
leave the largest fields stripped of their
crops, not sparing even the leaves Of trees.
Minnesota is suffering terribly by the raw
ages Of these depredators. She will prob
ably lose beside the crops destroyed some
OF her settlers by removal on account of
the scourge, and the flow of immigration
towards the State will also receive a
check. A State which the grasshoppers
control is in about as pitiable condition
as one controlled by democrats.

comets tail, at the time the comet shall
have reached a certain position in its
course nearly on line between the sun
and the earth, will be about 5000, 900
miles long at the outside, which estimate
would make the distance of the earth from

posing the earth and comet to be directly
in line.
