THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

The doubt, uncertainty and anxiety
which has rested upon the minds Of the
people of our nation for iic puoi tw0
weeks relative to the Presidential cleo
ton have in no wise abatcd up to this
tim. That Gov. Ti!dcn has n popular
majority of over quarter Of n million
votes no question is made, and that n
clear majority of the votes in the cleo
toral college il fairly counted all fair and
impartial men admit. The States Of
Louisiana and Florida have certainly
gone Democratic, but how their votes
will be reported BY the Returning Boards
of these States is more than any finite
being can foretell We believe that South
Carolina has given good majority for
'Tildcn, aud yet its vote has been counted
by the State CAnvassers FOR Hayes. The
most hopeful indications arc that the
courts in this State and Florida, which
have taken cognizance of the elections
IN these States, may compel justice to be
done. In the mean while, however, the
country is IN Il state of unrest never
known over any preceding Presidential
election. Grant has been concentrating the
army i'll Louisiana and South Carolina,
and also gathering large force at Wash
ington. What the military has to do
with civil election is something which
we cannot conceive from the provisions
of the national Constitution. This pro-
cccding has brought conformation to all
lovers of civil liberty, and threatens to
yet make II serious if not fatal shock to
our Republican institutions. The mcna-
cing danger is not from the Republican
party alone, but from President Grant,
who has aroused fears that his ambition
will prompt him to make an effort to
subycrt the institutions he il credited
with haying fought 10 uphold. He is the
Commander-inChicf Of the armies of the
nation, and has military prestige which
makes llini the idol of the Republican
party, which i'll it's death strait. would
he willing to perpctuate his rule rather
than deliver the country into the hands
the people Mt the polls have selected.
Various spcculations have been made as
to the course things will take in counting
the vote. II Tildcn gets his dues their
will be no further trouble, but if Hayes
is elected ut .he point Of the bayonct, or
ifthcrc should prove to BE- no election, it
will be difficult to forctell the future. If
the Northern and Western Democrats
quietly submit that will end the matter.
and the Republicans will seat Hayes, but
1t they assert their rights, ,hcn the coun-
try may be plunged into another rcyo!u-
ton moro desperate and appalling in its
objects aud more disastrous in it's result
than any in which our people have ever
been engaged There is no manhood,
no patriotism, no sclfrespcct in such
submission, and we do not believe the
American people arc themselves so cor
rupt as be cheated out Of their libcr-
ties by tyrants or political knavcs. The
South, however, must not be instrumental
i'll inauguratng strife. 1t it comes, the
North and West must be responsible, and
the Republican pnrty must bear the
blame before the nation and before the
world

THE COyTn .CT QUESTION.

Our people throughout the County are
resnlnte IL their determination net to g;ys
employment to any person who voted the
Republican ticket nt the late election
That they have the undoubtcd right tc
pursue this policy there can be no doub,
The InhNiyencer has from time to time
advocated such course, if it was nccessa.
ry to regcneratc our State kvccrnment
but now that we have been successful we
ask CUR pc'',ic 10 be magnal,illious IL
those who opposed us, except in the cases
of white men and the more intelligent
colored leaders. These latter persons do
not deserve any sympathy or countcnance,
and no true Democrat should patronire
them in any way or form. Itis this class
of men who should receive our unquali-
fed condemnation. But for the masses
of the colorcd men We ask charity. Not
that they are entirely forgiven, but that
they be taken upon less advantageous
terms than those who voted the Demo.
cratic ticket. a man who voted the
Democratic ticket ought to receive better
wages, or larger portion of the crop,
than nne who voted the Republican ticket
Our people should just say to them, you
voted for low taxes and ! can pay you
moro for work, and to the others, you
voted for high taxes, SO will only give
you what would have been able to pay
you II your government had been in
power. This will afford practical illus.
tration Of the workings of bad govern
ment, and viii in our opinion do more to
correct the evils under which we have
labored, than any course that can be pur-
sued. The Democrats of this county are
bound to give Democrats preference snd
to pay them better wages for work under
the pledges we have made to them, and
wo must not under any consideration go
back upon promises made to our friends.
The Republicans have no right to COM
plain if our people do not give them en-
ployment, for we warned them before the
election of what they might expect, but
We ask this action from our people not ms
an act of justice, but as an act of magma
nimity which is nobler course than even
Justice demands. The great Cesar when
he conquered nation was always mag
unanimous to them, and the result was
that they made good subjects, aud could
be relied upon by him in the future. So
1t is with the question now before us. If
we treat those whom we have conquered
politically with magnanimity, we may
confidently expect them to go with us
next time.
While upon this subject however, we
wish TO urge unisy Of action among our
people, The Executive Committee of
this county meets tomorrow, and our peo
pie ought to follow the suggestion they
make upon this subject No matter
which way 1t Is decided. we ought all TO
acquiescc. fit is for rigid application
of the campaign, every man should follow
it out. If it is for nsagnauimity, every
man should also adopt it. Il ic time Se
should all nct upon the motto, Omitted
we stand divided We fall.n

PROSPECTS OF WAR IN EUROPE.

Our people have been so absorbed in
home affairs for the last two months that
comparatively little interest has been
.sEe:: il, foreign alters. The war be-
tween Turkey and Servia has resulted
very disastrously to the latter, and if it
were not for complications, difficult of
solution, involving the great powers of
Europe, might be considered Mt an end.
Russia has from the beginning eympa-
thiged, with Scrvia and it now seems more
than probable that before the termint ion
of the armistice, will be engaged in q
great war with Turkey. Although an
European conference, is soon to be held,
Russia : mobilizing her entire army, and
concentrating large force near the from
tiers of Turkey, which, Notwithstanding
the peace conference menaces Turkey
and threatens war. England, which
heretofore has been firm friend to Tur.
key, and has really upheld the Mahom-
medan power in Europe, Is also prepar-
ing for war. II the contest should be
between Russia and Turkey tho Mahom-
medan power will soon be overthrown;
but If England should, rs she has here
tofore done, espouse the cause of Turkey,
il will;in all probability involve the other
great powers of Europe, aud general
European war ensue. The latest intelli-
gence from Europe is more favorable to .
peaceable solution of the Eastern ques.
ton, and yet. in the great capitals of
Europe war is sregarded as imminent.
The Mahommedan power sas for GEN.

The above figures are the results as-
certained by the State Board of Canvass
ers from II tabuation of the statements of
the County CanvHsscrs, which also de-
veloped Irregularities as follows: In
Barnwcll County, at one precinct the
managers made mistake by ascribing
Johnson Hagood 223 votes for Attorney
General and james Conner 22O votes for
Comptroller General; also, Thomas c.
Dunn G3 votes for Attorney General and
II. B. Elliott G6 votes for Comptroller
General. A similar error occurred at
one precinct in Marion County, where
the managers ascribcd 1S7 votes to John
son Hagood for Attorney General and
1877 votes to James Conner for Comp
trollcr General also, l75 votes to
Thomas G. Dunn for Attorney General
and IT'S votes to Il. b. Elliot for Comp
trollcr General. By correcting these
mistakes of the managers, Gen. Conner
would be elected Attorney General by
159 votes, and Gen. Hagood's majority
would be increased TO 43S votes. On the
other hand, i'll Georgetown County the
managers of one precinct reported 3lS
votes for +. G. Dunn, but the correction
Of this mistake vii! not overcome Hs-
goods majority. which would then be
100 votes.
In Georgetown County, an Indepen-
dent Republican ticket was gotten up by
Jones, Harriott and other dissatisfied
Radicals, who printed the name of John
b. Tolbert for Superintendent of Educa-
tion. This ticket received 532 votes for
that Office, which number if allowed to
John r. Tolbert will elect him by 90
votes.
