OCTOBER ELECTIONS"

On yesterday, the 18th inst, elections
came off in the States Of Ohio, Iowa,
and Nebraska. OF these the most i'm
portant is that of Ohio, from the excl
ting nature of the contest, and the sup
posed influence which it will have in
the succeeding elections. The success
of Allen for Governor, and Carey for
Lieutenant-Governor, is confidently eN-
pccted by the whole country.
In Iowa the Republicans, it is sup
posed, will carry the elections, as they
have a preponterance in the State. Two
amendments to the State Constitution
will be submitted to :hepeoplc--the one
comforting woman suffrage, and the
other negro suffrage. The new Legis-
laturc will elect one United States Sen
atOr.
In Nebraska the election is for Judges
to supply vacancies in the Legislature,
and more important than these will be
the vote on the new Constitution,
On the Goth California hclds a judicial
election, and also one for lis Superin-
tenIent of Education. The Democratic
majority at the last election for Cover
nor was near 200.
On the 18th, elections are to he held in
Oregon and Colorado; in the first TO fl i'll
4 vacancy in Congress; and in the sec
ond for members of convention to
form a State Constitution.
The last election will be held in Mis-
souri,, when new Constitution is to be
submitted to the popular vote.
These elections will prepare the way
for the important November elections.
in the great States of Pennsylvania and
New York, and will have no small i'll
ilucnce in determining the results there,
and shaping the issue in the Preslden-
tial campaign of 1876.

Cotton Manufactures in India.

It appears that until recently Indian
cotton manufacturers have not been re-
quired to pay any duty upon imported
cotton, and which is used in connection
with the native cotton in their monu-
ractures, whilst Manchester goods en-
ported to India pay an import duty
which amounts to S4,0O9,000 annually.
in the face of this duty, the Manchester
manufactures. found himself unable to
compete with the Eastern manufactured.
and the Legislative council Of India has
come to his assistance by passing law
imposing an import duty of five per
cent on nearly all the imported cotton.
If Manchester is unable to compete
with India under these circumstances,
how much greater would be the disad-
vantages under which her manufacture
crs would labor in competition with
Southern manufacturers.
When the business of cotton manu-
featuring, now in its infancy at the
South, is fully developed, our manutact'
urers-with the best cotton in the world
at their doors, free from impost duties
will be able not only TO compete with
British manufacturers in the markets of
the world, but to monopolize the trade
in many countries now supplied by En-
gland. In this competition English
manufacturers will find no protection in
impost duties OH raw cotton, as in India,
and if they would continue to find prof
table employment for their capital they
will have to invest it here.

TIE ELECTION IN CIARLEs1 on
The municipal election in Charleston
came off on Wednesday last, and re-
suited in majority of over 1000 for the
Cunningham party, composed of Con-
seyvatives and independent Republi-
cans. The best citizens of Charleston
supported this ticket, and we arc glad to
see that they have achieved so decisive
Il victory.
The interests of the city will doubtless
be largely promoted by the defeat of the
Bowen faction, and the triumph OF
Conservatism over the worst form OF
Radical tyranny. The election passed
off without serious disturbance, and the
good order is generally attributed to the
tirmness of the commissioners Of cleo
ton, who boldly maintained their rights
as the guardians of the polls, and pre-
pared a strong military force to support
their authority, should it be resisted,
After the stormy excitement of the
past few weeks, the city needs reposc,
and will enter upon new career OF
prosperity, with the best Of hopes i'll
spircd by the recent victory.

GENERAL. WHEELER.-A statement
taken from an Ohio paper has been pub
lshcd which represents Gen. Wheeler,
of Confederate fame, in a pitiable light
suffering from delrium trcmens, i'm
pecuniosity, &c. A description was
given of his wretchcd appearance before
some police court in Ohio.
A thrilling story, but untrue, in all
particulars. Gen. Wheeler is not "a
tall, lank, lean man." He is rather
small, though compact aud we'll made.
He is not in destitute condition. He
is not the victim of intemperance. He
has not been to Ohio. He is living very
quietly at Cortland, North Alabama,
practicing law successfully, running y
farm protitably, and part owner in II
store in the place which has a good
trade. So we learn from Col. Rion, of
Winnsboro, who knows always what he
says.-COiup.bi0 Register.

The Failure of the Indian Negotla-
tiOnS.

The attempt to conclude treaty with
the Sioux Indians for the sale of the
Black Hills, has resulted in failure-the
Ind ans asking TOO much for the coun-
try; one of their propositions being that
they should be supported for two hun
dred years, aud another being that they
should bc paid 1000, 900 for the prop
erty. The commissioners were not pre-
pared to assent to such eXtravagant de-
mands, and took their leave, after sub
milting u protocol, first, to buy the
right to mine in the Black Hills for
500, 900 per annum, this right to ternli-
nate at any time Oh a years notice by
the United States; second, to purchase
the Black Hills from the Sioux nation,
and to pay them for their interests there
the sum of SG,250,OO0 in fifteen equal
annual installments, said sums TO be
annually appropriated for their subslst-
ence and civilization, not less than $780,
900 of which shall be annually expended
for the purposes Of civilization; third,
that the President of the United States
Shall, under proper restrictions and reg
ulations, designate three routes TO the
Black Hills country. 1t was next pro-
posed to purchase the Big Horn country
*or $50, 900, paid annually for ten years.
the money to be expended in food and
stock. Furthermore, it was proposed
that if the protocol be accepted, S3o, 600
he expended in presents to be distrib-
uted among the bands. This protocol
was left with the Indians to discuss this
Winicr.n
Some of our exchanges suggest that
the whole scheme to purchase the Black
Hills country is but the effort of ring
in Washington to get possession OF a
rich mining country, and for this pur-
pose are using the authority of the Gov
ernment. though it may imperil the
peace of the country. There has been
no legislation by Congress looking to the
removal of the Indians, and perhaps
the interests both of the Indians and of
this Government, would be best sub
served at present by dropping the whole
matter.

The Grand Jury were discharged on
Thursday, after being closely engaged
at work until that time. Their report
ipXhibits very satisfactory condition of
affairs in the County offices, and in the
County generally.
The following is the record Of the
cases disposed of, which will be found to
be generally of 4 trivial character,-so
much so that it would seem to have Ueen
much better to have settled them with
out the aid of the Court and its costly
machinery:-

and battery. Was continued.

battery. Struck off.

Austin Davis, same. Guilty.
Same, assault and battery. Guilty.
Oscar Turner, petit larceny. Con-
tinued.
Robert Farrow and John Farrow,
stealing corn from field. Guilty of petit
larceny.
Edward Jones, stcalinga q domesticaled
animal. Guilty OF petit larceny.
Same, same offence. Not guilty.
Same, same offence. Continued.
Andrew Widcman, rape. Guilty.
Jas. l.. White, assault and battery
with intent to kill. Guilty.of assault.
Jessie Wimbush, assault and battery.
Not guilty.
Richard +. White, assault and bat
terry with intent to kill. Not guilty.
In connection with the Presentment
of the Grand Jury, the reports of the
various County officers were made,
which present Il number of interesting
facts.
The Clerk reports Sl,3S4 g. in his
hands, as administrator Of derelict es-
tates, and which, according to his view,
he is not called upon to invest as Clerk.

The following extract from private letter
of Mr. Thomson is kindly furnished US by the
gentleman to whom it was addressed; and We
commend 1t to the careful consideration of
our readers. Mr.. 7. says in closing long
letter:
"I only wish I was more fee from all per.

arouse themselves from their sIumber of ages,
and find out how they have been cheated,
and wronged, and kept back inignorance aud
want, there will be a fearful reckoning, in the
future, for their oppressors and robbers. l
will close this letter by presenting to your eye

The bridge. too, is made by the people and

silent. The people hero do not govern =
They are the subject of satraps. Men rule

Government has become speculation, huge

when these things exist with power, the peo-

overloaded with debt accumulated by these
governmental monopolies taxes are eating
up what little property the late unhappy and
