Tho Columbia organ of the
thieves tries hard to show that the
Supreme Court has been wrong and
the Board of Canvasscrsright in thoil
respective acts since tho issue was
raised before tho Court. But, as
usual, the organ proceeds upon
assumptions utterly md demonstrn
bly, false 1t attempts to prove that
fraudulent Democratic votes wero
cast, because tho Radical consus
OF 1875 showed heavy black ma
jority more than thirty-throe thou
sand Now, everybody knows what
the census of 1875 was and how it
was taken. A Radical leader was
appointed i'll each county, and he
portloned out the work among his
nnderstrappers. The takers
were paid 30 much for every name
thcy put down, and thcy thus had
two great Inducements to swoll the
number Of colored votors-moncy-
making, and the increase, on paper,
Of the Radical vote. The census is
known to be full Of errors and false
entries. The organ next SAYS that
the negroes were more solid this
year than ever before. This is
utterly falso. There were largo
numbers of colorcd men who had
become disgusted with "tho party,
and with these as nucleus, the
Democrats succeeded in inducing
others, i'll still greater numbers, to
vote the Democratic ticket. These
causes, added to tho splendid work
done by the white people through
out the State, combined to elect,
fairly and legally, Hampton and the
cntiro State ticket, with tho
Presidential electors nominated by

The Union Xeyald says: "Gen-
cral Hampton declared, early in tho
canvass. and before he had trnvcrs-
cd half the State, and before he had
any possible means of knowing
whether the Republican majority of
over 10000 would or could be over
come, that he would he elected
governor, md, by tho eternal God,
he would have the Office" This is
just like the Radical sheet The
truth Is, Hampton simply said he
would be elected, for, according to
the Democratic rosters, there were
colorcd men enrolled in sufficient
numbers to give him handsome
minority. His followers and sup
porters did say they would not be
chcatcd out # tho election, and
they sag SO stN; but that General
Hampton ever uttered such speech
rs "by the ctolnal God, no would
have the Office" no honest man will
either charge or believe. The organ
is desperate, and is perhaps scarcely
responsible for what it says.

Chamberlain says he WAS candi-
date only in obedience to the COM
mand Of his party, and hence he
cannot do otherwise than stick to
his crew. This same man said,
when he WAS cndcavoring to win
favor with tho Democrats of South
Carolina, that "thc issue rises higher
than party ty"--mcaning the issue pre-
Rontcd by the election of Moses and

Two companies Of U. s. troops On
Monday night seized the State
House, barred all the doors but one,
and placed scntiuols ut that. On
Tuesday they refused admittance to
all persons not provided with passes
from j. b. Donnis, Deputy Marshal,
or A. 0. Jones, clork of the former
House, who, as is claimed by the
Radicals, has authority to organize
the present House. The Demo-
cratic members presented II sol omn
protest against the outrage. Later
i'll the day compromise was pro-
posed and accepted, by which nil
persons were allowed to enter if
they left their arms. Governor
Hampton made q short address to
the crowd asking them to disperso
from the State House, as ho wanted
peace.

November 28.
Both Houses are organized, the
Democrats participating in tho
Senate. but the Elgefeld, Abbeville
and Laurens Senators have boom
excluded. Those gontlemon pre-
sonted their certificates from tho
Clerk of the Supreme Court, but
wero denied admittance. The Re-
publican members then organized
tho House with only SO members,
and elected e. W. NJ. Mackey
Speaker, A. O Jones Clerk, and
W. II. Marshall Reading Clerk. All
the Democrats then withdrew, and
are now in session separately. In
tense feeling prevails, but all is
perfectly quiet.
THE LATEST.
The Democrats organized tho
House by electing the following
officers w. H. Wallace, of Union,
Speaker Jno. Il. Sloan, Sr., of
: Richland, Clerk W. Is. Williams,
of York, Reading Clerk J. Brown,
Of Barnwell, Sergeant-at-arms. A
protest was entered on Wednesday,
by this House, against tho
pre- ceedings at tho State House
and demand will be mado
upon the Secretary of State
for the election returns. In tho
Rump House, the Radical members
, from Barnwell--tivc in number md
all ncgroes-were admitted by O.

similar action will be taken

Tt is not surprising TINT paper
like the New York Times should
endorse the action of the Bonrd of
Cmvasecrs in setting ut nought the
mandates Of the Supreme Court of
South Carclin,. It has been Il con-
stant feature of that paper that it
has approved every act of tho Radi-
cal party, however Infamous and
however much condemned by the
better class of Republicans. Fortu-
natoly for the cause ofjustice, thorc is
reason to believe that this mnlie-
nant and mendncious sheet neither

considerable extent among the
American people.

There is a movement started for building

but one church building in the township,
and that is situated near the southwest
corner, some three miles from the center,
making it very inconvenient for those liv-
ing in the north and east part of the town
ship. The people have held two public
meetings and have appointed committees
who have the matter in hand, and, from
the character of the men composing the
committees, and the well known energy
and iberality of the people of New Lyme,
there can be but little doubt as to the sue
cess of the undertaking.
