now concede that they have been misled
by false hopes Of success In counties
which have gone Republican instead Of
Democratic. The San Juan region has
disappointed them, and so have Costello

tailed aignally, however, and this com.
bined with their bad luck in the

from that on which their strong hopes
were founded. Buthad they carried The

majorities than could have been figured

We publish table showing The color
ed vote, as far as it can be ascertained, oil

that the colored vote OF South Carolina
is $4,000. Everybody who is not entirely
blinded by prejudice knows that this is q
very large majority Of the voting popula-
tion OF South Carolina. By the census Of
1870 the whole population Of the State
was only 7O5,7s9 and as it only increased
Eve hundred and twenty seven from 1860
to 1870 it is not materially greater now.
