q WAR IN EUROPE.
[St. LOUIS Dispatch. .l9th.l

1t was to be hoped that the troubles
In the east, between Russia and Tur-
key, would be averted by the council of
nations. and that the peace of so large
a portion of the world would be main
tanned. To days news has, however,
dissipated all such hopes; already, as
we learn. have the two belligerents
spilled blood, and the disruption of all
peaceful relations is begun. If the war
could be confined to the Ottoman En-
pire and Russia, the matter would not
be so serious; but the London Times
has shown that the British Lion is about
to show his teeth, and in reply to the
semi-otiicial editorial, the Berlin Ga
zette sneers at the Times and gives Eng
land to understand that Germany will
take care of herself and not interfere
unless e~ncroached upon. 1t also init
mates that Bismarck does not see in the
pending conflict anything adverse to the
empire, while England cannot afford to
have the Russian flag float owe Con-
stantinople. Such is the reply of Ger
many to the London Times and this has
caused the Pail Mall Gazette to publish
II of the most bitter replies, in which
it says: ut is with an almost inexpress-
ible shame that we read, and know that
all Europe will read, the AFFECT entreaty
of u leading journal (the Times,) to

quent panic in all valuations prevails.
That England a keep out of the fight
appears to be impossible. France

GOOD ADVICE TO DON CAMERON
From the Philadelphia Times

a. Ahh phA
W. have always insisted that Secreta-
ry Don Cameron isn't a fool; but if he
is correctly reported as to his inaugural
ton of violent military operations in
South Carolina, to be followed by like
usurpations in Mississippi and Louisiana,
he must simply be beyond what even
his worst enemies have ever charged, OF
he must mean to elect Tilden president.
If he is not so stone-blind as not to see
that Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia,
voting under the inspiration of a presi-
Dental election, have made a most i'm
perious demand Tor peace in the south,
he is to be pitied, for he who runs may
read it so, and the w%ayfaring man must
so understand it. 1t is a million-tongued
protest against Cameron's bayonet cleo
ton order and a solemn verdict of the
controlling states of the contest that a
democratic national administration will
be preferred to a victory won by studied
disorder and that teaches hate and dis
cord as the jewels of republican gov
eminent. Need we remind Secretary
Cameron that his own state. reliably re-
publican with honest republican pur-
poses to be struggled for. has been
shivered from her certain republican
anchorage by the recoil of the three
Grant states of Ohio, Indiana and West
Virginia on Tuesday last? If he has
yet to be taught the lesson, then must
Washington have robbed him of his
cunning. He has but to let the bayonet
CLEAN brightly in the campaign to make
the Keystone State vote for Tilden by
10000. Pennsylvania wants peace her
business interests must have peace her
patriotic people aciW have peace!

THE OUTLOOK,

The elections held last week place,
beyond all reasonable doubt the success
of the democratic ticket in November.
Those in Indiana and Ohio were espec.
tally important. as West Virginia was
already given over by the republicans.
The administration desired more partic-
ularly to carry Indiana, and so impor-
tant was it considered that vast sums
OF the public money were expended for
that purpose. Senator Morton opened
the campaign by publicly announcing
from the stump, at Indianapolis. that in
Indiana ga democratic rictory IN Oc-
tober means a triumph Of the Con-
federate democracy throughout the
nation IN Norem6er." Ohio was put
down for a large republican majority
because it was Hayes own state. 1t is
needless to say that the result is dis
h~eartening in the extreme to those so
long accustomed to have everything
their W way. while the democrats of
the country are correspondingly elated.

n VOTE OF NEW O

From the st. Louis Dispatch, Republican.
Ohio and Indiana have spoken-the
former by 6,675 for the republicans, and
the latter by 5.49i for the democrats.
The important state elections prelimi-
nary to the grand struggle have all been
held, and show that the relative strength
of the two great parties remain practi-
cally unchanged, except for congress
men, in which the republicans have
made substantial gains. Vermont,
Maine and Ohio have long been repub-
lican states, and Indiana and West Vir-
ginia democratic.
Everything DOW depends upon the
state of New York. Neither party can
elect its candidate for the presidency
that state. 1t is the pivot now, appa-
rently, upon which the whole V
swings, and is consequently in fact the
battle ground of the campaign. Mr.. Til
den can win with the state OF New York.
but not without it. Hence the contest
there will be a hot one, sharply contest
ed.
In every election since 1870 there has
been a small scattering vote, averaging
about $500, and amounting in one year
to 11.96S, but not large enough to have
any weight on the result. These figures
will bear a close study. 1t shows re-
markable fluctuations and renders the
state the more uncertain. General Dix,
republican candidate for governor in
1872, was elected by 51,317 majority.
but was subsequently defeated, and
Governor Tilden was elected by Il like
sweeping majority of 5O,317 in 1875 ;the
democrats still show great strength,
though not equal to that exhibited in
the election Of Governor Tilden, elect
ing their ticket by a majority of 1870.
In forecastlng the result in November.
it may not be out of place to say that
Governor Tilden is not entirely satisfac-
tory to the democracy of his own state
as a presidential candidate, and the pre-
sumption is he will not carry his full
party strength. But whether or not, it
is now reduced to a certainty that the
vote of New York on the 9TH of Novem-
Der decides the contest.

In some Of the counties of this stat,
where pure and unmixed radicalisn
stands not the ghost of a chance, 'inde
pendent tickets" are the order of the
day. These independent tickets'' arr
generally lead by disappointed demo.
Gratis, who, being deprived for a season
OF the soothing and lnvlgorating teat o.
office by more fortunate or more trusted
democrats. cry "ring." and denounce
without stint the regular organization
and ali who support it. The next STEP
is an independent ticket-three-fourths
OF the place being given to the radicals
in order to secure their votes, the prin-
cipal positions being periodically seized
upon by the dissenters. All this de.
moralizes the party and imperils the
success of the candidates, reduces its
vote on state and national tickets, and
creates bad blood which is likely to
break out in ~disagreeable sores years
afterwards.
Unless the rnle of a few men in the
party amounts to absolute tyranny, it is
better to bear it than to rush for safety
to anarchy. Independence inside a par
ty organization is all right, but that sort
of independence which has to be fed by
the enemies of ones party is attribute

to downright bribery. The party every

EXPLANATORY

Some of Doctor Fulkerson's friends.
backed up by the Register, complain
that we personally abuse him in these
columns. So far from this being the
case, we have uniformly abstained from
saying anything that could, by implica-
ton, be construed into a disparagement
of Doctor Fulkerson's private character.
In his private relations we believe him
to be a good neighbor. a kind friend
and a gentleman. It is true that on one
occasion we used the word "fraud," but
it was taken out of the mouth OF his
friends, and had a purely political sig
MITIGATION. We have said, and intend to
say, as much as we can to show up the
inconsistency of his political action but,
until we have reason to change our es-
innate Of his private character, we shall
hereafter, rs heretofore, say nothing
throwing discredit upon him as q gen
tleman. We believe that Doctor Full
kerson has not acted in good faith Ill
going into the convention pledged to
abide It's decision, and when defeated.
announcing himself Independent of its
action. But we believe that, even in
this. he was led astray by the injudicious
advice of warm personal friends. and
would, a few weeks ago. have reproba-
ted such action in another as we do now
in him.
Complaint is also made that we do
moi open the columns OF this paper to
the Fulkerson faction. We have printed
the substance of all the complaints that
Doctor Fulkerson has to make, and
have shown their absurdity. We do not
feel disposed to fill up u limited space
with the arguments of Fulkerson cor
respondents, for a two-fold reason.
First, because our space is limited; and,
secondly, because the Intellig encer is a
paper. and we do not think
that, ever a chivalric courtesy to those
who seek to overthrow the party, or
even impair its strength, demands any
such concession. If we admit one cor
respondent, we must admit them all;
and our space will not stand the
pressure.
We have taken care to make no MIS-
of any ones position. and our
columns will hereafter, as heretofore, be
freely given to any person who wishes
to correct an n impression on
corning himself OF any n else, we
only insisting that communications
be short, free from personal abuse, and
to the point.
We have at heart the integrity of the
party, and hope that our
who politically differ from us
will not hereafter take offense when we
eek to advance it in every way consist
,nt with a strict adherence to truth.
But whether we offend or not, our path
IS PLAIN before US, and in it we intend to
walk.

CHARLESTON, S. c.. Oct. 16.-The
joint of Charleston county by
the democrats and republicans which
has been in progress for some days, has
resulted in Il serious collision at Gains
hoy, about nine miles from here. 1t had
been agreed that both whites and blacks
should attend the meeting without arms.
During the speaking an alteration
arose between two individuals of oppo-
site parties. A shot was fired by one of
them, when the negroes belonging to
the state militia, and composing a large
majority of the meeting. secured their
muskets, which were secreted near by,
and fired a volley into the unarmed
whites from bushes skirting Il neighbor-
ing ravine. The whites being few in
number and altogether unprepared to
fight, retreated to the steamer which had
brought them from the city, but not be-
fore two of their number had been killed
and fourteen wounded. The dead were
lett in possession of the negroes. About
80 armed whites lett the city this eve
ming for Cainshoy to recover the bodies
and to afford protection to the whites of
that vicinity. who are in dread of being
attacked or being burned out.
