Political Hints.
For the Gazette.


MIR, EDIToR--It is an old adagc that
"chickens some times comes home to
roost, and as it seems tolerably certain
now that the disputed States of South
Carolina, Florida and Louisiana will be
counted for Hayes, allow me to suggest a
way by which that big political chicken
can be made come home to roost. In
those States their so called Returning
Boards have complete control of the
election returns, and can, on any or no
pretext, throw out sufficient votes to
change the political complexion of the
States. Now there are number of States
with Democratic Legislatures. Let each,
at once, as soon as the Legislature meets,
pass laws constituting similar bodies, to
consist of persons democrats, of course)
named in the law, with life tenure, va
cancies to be filed by the Board itself. In
our State the Levy Courts of the different
counties might be constituted the Return
Boards, and let them have full complete
control of all election returns, with pow
er to reject and throw out the vote ofany
Hundred on any pretext. 1t won't mat
ter whether they act impartially or not
SO they give Democratic majorities all
the time. How will our Republican
friends like it, when the Return Board
chicken fiops into Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland
Indiana, &C., &c? Havn't the Demo
cratic States a splendid precedence fol
Legislating the future control of these
States into their own hands, and Congress
and the Presidential elections? How
does 1T strike you, apologists of Return
Beard frauds. NEW CASTLE.

Loss OF A FINE MARE.-Wednesday
evening last, as MIR. Francis Cranston, of
Stanton, was driving over small bridge
near Walton, Whann q Co.'S phosphate
works, at the foot of Marsh Lane, some
planks broke, and frightened his horses,
causing them to run off and plunge into a
ditch. Mr.. Cranstron cut loose the har-
ness and endeavored to get the animals
out, but was unable to do so, until man
coming ty went into the city and procur-
ed assistante.
After digging the bank Of the ditch
away, the herses were gotten out, but one
of them, a mare valued at 1925, died in a
very short time, from exposure, she hav-
ing been in the ditch nearly two hours
The wagon was badly broken. On Thur:
day, Mr.. Cranston returned to the scene
of the accident and buried the mare, an,
took the wagon home. Mr.. Cranston, il
somewhat the worse for the accident, a,
he was in the cold water up to his waist
for over an hour.

A BADLY SCARED BoY.-Between 4
and 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon boy
was noticed rushing down Fourth street,
between Market and King, screaming
'.murder" at the top of his voice, and close
ly followed by Chinaman, who was
evidently intent on vengeance for some
wrong or insult. At King street the boy
rushed into the arms of a passing gentle
man, who saved him from the Celestials
wrath. 1t appears that the boy, in com.
pany with some bad companions, had
been annoying the Chinaman, and hurl-
ing offensive epithets at him, until All Sin
could stand it no longer. and so gave
chase to his offenders.

TURBULENT NEGROES DISTURBING THE

TURBULENT NEGROES DISTURBING THE
PEACE AT CECILToN ND.
For several weeks past an i'll feeling
has been brewing between the whites and
negroes at Cecilton, Nd, which is begin
nlng to assume rather an ugly aspect. 1t
all began; 1t seems, in negro cursing
young white man for hurrahing for Til
den and Hendricks, the Saturday night
following the election. A few evenings
after the same negro.intruded himselfup-
on company of whites who were en-
gagged in reading the papers and discuss
sing the political prospects. He was told
TO 60 away but refused to do so and re-
Piled i'll an insulting and impudent tone,
cursing the man who told him to leave.
On this he was knocked down Gas he de-
served) and roughly handled. He then
went away swearing vengeance. Since then
the negroes have been very violent and
insolent, parading the streets till late at
night, hurrahing for Hayes and cursinc
the Democrats. Last Saturday night they
were more than commonly demonstratiye
and though they kept shy ofwhite men,
who would probably have made things
warm FOR them they went to the house Of
a yellow man named Tom Hall, whom
they accused Of voting the Democratic
ticket, swearing they meant to clean him
out. They broke some of Halls window
and fired tive orthree pistol shots through
them into the house. No further harm
than this, was done, but that such riotou.
conduct may lead to bad results is great
ly feared by the law abiding citizens OF
the town and vicinity.

Gen. Ruger's Wretched Brumder.

FTOhl QlG New OTK TTIDunt.
1t seems plain that the United States
officer in command at Columbia has
blndered. There can be no doubt of his
excellent intentions and his honorable
soldierly instincts. But it was o wretch
ed blunder to set his troops to examin-
ing the certificates of members of the
Legislature. 1t is worse one to send
his staff officer upon the floor of theHouse
to give notice that the next day he will
not permit what he has permitted to-day
in the matter of the claimant from Edge
field. Obviously he is trying in this
clumsy way to sustain the officer legally
charged with the organization Of the
the last one; but this sort OF support is
worse than none at all, and it is not to be
wondered that able men like Wade
Hampton and United States Senator Cor
don make the most of it.
