Tilden has certainly carried New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana and
the Southern States, except Louisiana,
Florida and South Carolina, which are
yet in doubt. The Democrats claimL Lou
isiana by fifteen Thousand, and tie Re
publicans claim that the river parishes
will make the State go Republican by
ten thousand. The Democrats claim
Florida by from twelve to twenty-five
hundred majority, and the Radicals by
fifteen hundred. A storm Frustrated the
wires in Florida. Both parties claim
Wisconsin by one thousand majority.
Both parties claim South Carolina by
three thousand votes. The only positive
information at this time is that Tilden
has one hundred and eighty-four electo-
raj votes sure and certain; with equal
chances for carrying the above doubtful
States, all of which must be carried by
Hayes to elect him by one vote. The
Democrats have the better prospects,
both in this State and the United States.
L. Cass Carpenter comedies that Col.
Aiken has been elected by seven thou
sand majority. Col. Eyins has been
elected from the Fourth Congressional
District by seven thousand and seven
hundred majority.

NEW YORK. Nov. 9th.

The Herald says that 81 States cast a
majority for the Democratic nominees,
16 for the Republican-one State, Colo
rado, having previously cast her vote for
the latter. Thus Governor Tilden will
be our next President, and Hendricks
our next Vice-President They have re-
ceived 2O9 electoral votes against l6O cast
for Governor Hayes and Wheeler, a clear
majority of i49, and "a more than was
necessary for an election. !, There is very
little chance of bcttering these figures,
and none of changing the result over.
Our next House of Representatives will
have a Democratic majority of at least
25. The State of New York is carried
by the Democrats by probably $4,000,
and the entire city Democratic ticket is
elected by majority ranging downward
from $4,000, although the State looked
doubtful yesterday.
Indiana, Connecticut, New Jersey, and
probably Wisconsin, is carried for the
Democracy.
South Carolina is in doubt, the voting
being close, and being claimed by both
parties. The negro vote was evidently
divided between the two parties in the
Southern States. aa 7

SOhOluolfAJ AWE coA o'A0 r. A-'
All the returns received up to this time
comedies Tilden's election as certain.
Illinois has gone Democratic by small
majority, which settles the question effect
ually. -
The result in South Carolina is yet in
doubt, although the Republicans claim
that Chamberlain is elected by four thou
sand majority. But the Democrats are
equally confident that Hampton has been
elected by similar majority, and the In
dications are that the latter is correct.
There is terrible excitement in
Charleston tonight. All business was
suspended at an early hour this evening,
as the premonitions of serious riot
began, and a terrible conflict is regarded
as imminent There is no communica-
tion by telegraph, as the wires are down,
and we are in state of great anxiety
about the situation in Charleston, which
is critical in the extreme.
Everybody here is confident of both
Tilden and Hampton's victory.

COLUMBIA, Nov. Sth-11.30 p. m.

The Republicans now claim eight
thousand majority in Charleston County.
Also, ffty-three hundred in Beaufort;
twelve hundred in Georgetown and six
hundred and six in Williamsburg. With
these majorities allowed, the estimate of
the Democrats give the State to Hamp-
ton by two thousand. The election is so
close, however, that it will require an
official count to decide the result.
Private kilograms place the national
contest in doubt. Both parties are anx-
iously telegraphing here for the electoral
result, and it seems that South Carolina
is now the pivotal point Of interest.
Returns received to-day have put a
new aspect on the national election. Civ
ing Tilden one hundred and eighty-four
electoral votes, with any of the States of
Florida, Nevada, Oregon and South Car
olina necessary to elect him. H.
A Dispatch from Republican sources
says with South Carolina we are safe.
Later returns, however, may change this
condition of affairs.
We have news tonight of trouble in
Charleston, but at this time we are with
out particulars as to the nature of the
difficulties. .G

clearly the opinion of many in the city
that the whole affair was caused by the
imprudent conduct of United States
Deputy Marshal Scruggs and Harrison
White, aud that they. alone are toSbe
blamed for.the danger threatened to-. the
lives and propcrty:of our citizens.
&; With this exception, the election day
in Greenville passed off without any dis
turbance; and there was less intoxication
than has been usual, by great deal.
This is owing largely, no doubt, to the
wise precaution exercised by the Mayor
and Council in having had closed the

/: TUESDAYS WORK.

The result OF last Tuesdays election is
better than the most sangaine Democrat
could have really expected. The elec-:
ton Of Tilden and Hendricks, with the
large gains all over South Carolina for
the Democrats, is of itself enough, but
the strong probability, amounting almost
to certainty, of 'Hampton's election as
Governor is the grandest revolution ever
effected peaceably and through the ballot
box. 1t was won after a hard struggle
against immense adverse circumstances.
), "A majority of thirty thousand has
been dissipated, despite the strenuous
ard unscrupulous efforts of Gov. Cham:
berlain and his administration, backed by
Grant, who, through his troops and
Tait's instructions to Deputy Marshals,
did his uttermost to manacle liberty in
South Carolina, and thereby intimidate
Democrats from making any effort to re-
deem the State The combination has
fallen far short of its object. The State
is rescued from the rogues and public
enemies, and even if Chamberlain should
be reelected, which will not occur with
fair count in the. State, he would be
compelled to reform to a great extent,
for there is a powerful Democratic indu-
cnce in the Legislature.
Two Congressman, three Solicitors, a
United States Senator, a Governor, and
President, is enough of victory and of
glory for the South Carolina Democrats
to obtain in one day. The result fully
vindicates the wisdom and propriety of
the straight-out canvass, and we con-
gfatulate the people of our County and
State upon the success of the policy
which has been SO .persistently advocated
by the IntelHgencer. So

The election of Hayes is still claimed
by cautious Republicans, who count on
carrying Louisiana and Florida.
The Western Union bulletin states that
the Democrats claim Louisiana by 10000
majority.
The Republicans claim Florida and
Oregon.
The World bureau here has the follow
ing from New York, p. NJ: Hendricks
telegraphs that he has trustworthy advi-
ces, that Wisconsin has gone Democratic
by majority of 1000.
The Star says neither Judge Edmonds

spartanburg has been carried for the

Aiken County is given up by the Re
publicans, who concede majority tf
three hundred to the Democrats. York
County gives eight hundred and sixty

Col. Aiken has been elected to Con-

The election is very closein the city.
We have only scattering returns from
three counties in the low-country. Our
most careful estimates for the whole
State, including Charleston County, gives
Hampton over ten thousand majority.
We do not think it possible that Charles
ton County, with its Republican majority,
can overcome this majority in the State,
and we believe that South Carolina is
now safe for Tilden and Hampton.

THE VERY LATEST.
COLUMBIA, Nov. 9-midnight

The following are official majorities for
the Democrats in South Carolina: Aiken,
742; Abbeville, 1877; Anderson, 3O3O;
Barnwell, 1880; Greenville, 1896; Hor-
ry, 1852; Lexington, S7l; Lancaster,
3o5; York, 1852; Edge6eld, 1926. Lau-
rens, 1851; Marlboro, 1863. Total l5,-
724.
The following are the estimated ma
iorities for the Democrats based upon re-
liable information: Chesterfield, 800 ;
Marion, $50; Oconee, 1900; Pickens,
1900; Spartanburg, 5000; Union, 900.
Total estimated majority $3.50. Certain
and estimated Democratic majorities,
24,474.
The official radical majorities are,
Beaufort, 1882; Colleton, l67; Chester,
66O; Fairfield, 6O6; Newberry, -565;
Orangeburg, 1907; Richland, 1922; /;
Williamsburg, eo6. Total 1866.
The Radicals claim the following ma
iorities: Charleston, 1000; Clarendon,
500; Darlington, 900; Georgetown, 1000
Kershaw, 300; Sumter, 1900. Total ma
jority claimed by Radicals in estimated
counties, 12,3OO; total Radical majority,
official and estimated, 23,265.
This leaves a majority of over 1900 for
Hampton, after all they claim has been
allowed them. The Associated Press
puts Hampton's majority at 1929, which
is probably about right. This estimate
is regarded as we'll nigh certain. The
House of Representatives will be Demo-
cratic by four majority, and the Demo
Gratis will have a majority of one on
Joint ballot, which secures United
States Senator. The Democrats have
elected two Congressmen-Aiken and
Evins.
The National election is as certain as
possible for the Democrats. Florida has
gone Democratic by at least two thou
sand, which elects Tilden without Louis
lana, South Carolina or Wisconsin
Private dispatches from New Orleans
saws Tilden has certainly carried Lou
isiana.
A riot occurred in Charleston on Wed
nesday evening, caused by negroes at
tacking white men. 1t is supposed to
have been brought on because the Re-
publicans were exasperated at the news
and the exultation of the Democrats oyel
their victory. 1t occurred on Broad
Street. A portion of the police took
part with the mob, and MIR. E. Fl. Wal,
ter, son of MIR. George II. Walter,
prominent cotton merchant, was shot
and instantly killed by a rifle in the
hands of policeman. Thirteen othel
white men were wounded-some O.
them mortally. Eleven negroes were
wounded, two mortally. The Uni
ted States troops were ordered out, anc
with the aid of the citizens dispersed the
mob. The soldiers were fred upon b

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.

The election for Congressman in South
Carolina has resultedi in placing Col. D.
Wyatt Aiken from the Third and Col.
John II. Evins from the Fourth Districts

Carpenter and A. S. Wallace, two of the
worst and most Objectionable Radicals in
