Presidential contest is to be virtual
ly settled in New York, and that he
who carries the Empire State will
be President. This is the position
taken by the Independent press, but
"organs" must not admit the pos
sibiGty of defeat, and the claim is
therefore advanced that the party of
good moral ideas can lose New
York, and yet elect Hayes.
Tilden, rs tho Republican news
papers tell us, labors under q host
of disadvantages, and if, in spite of
these. he can wipe out Grants 63,480
majority in Now York, he certainly
can carry tho adjoining States Of
Connecticut and Now Jersey.
Greeley was not palatablo in Now
Jersey, and the Grant majority OF
1928 will not be hard to handle.

cut and New Jersey, is about rs cor

The State Election.

The requirement Of tho constitu
ton of tins State is that 1T shall bo
the duty of the General Assembly
to provide from time to time for the
registration of all electors" At
every session of tho Legislature for
half dozen or moro years past the
demand has been made of it that this
duty be discharged. All classes
of the people have united in it. But
it has suited Radical party leaders
to refuse or evade it, and so far as
any official action is concerned, we
are at q loss to know what is the
number of qualified voters in South
Carolina OF course there is design
ia this matter. tits intended to sub
serve certain end The less exact
knowledge wo have of the voto the
widor is tho door opon for frauds,
ballot-box stuffing and other forms
of violation of the election laws. The
votes actually reported as given in
elections have accordingly varied to
meet tho political necessities of each
canvass.
Very serious error exists in refer
enco to tho respective numbers of
the white and colored voters and
of Democratic and Conservative
voters rs compared with Radical.
Our readers know that we have
always maintained that tho Radical
majority docs not exceed $4,000.
Yet it has been the fashion of many
conservative writer's and speakers,
editors and others, to accept as true
the extravagant statemont that the
Radical maj jority is somewhere about
10000. The conviction on the part
of many was that this majority was
so large rs to be insuperable, and
hence they wero ready to despair
IN advance. They felt that all effort
was hopeless. But that was q grave
orror.
The United States census for tho
thirty years intervening between
1910 and 1870 shows in the white

A Card to the Christian Public.

I have been for some timo the
superintendent of tho Sunday
School of our colored Presbyterian
congregation at Ridgoway. The
school WAS organized under the
direction Of our pastor, Rcv. Mr..

declared myself in favor of the

my dismissal. I aia rejoiced to say
that our Stated Supply, Mr..
billiard, expostulatoti and advised
against the action-and I am huu,blu
pr oud that several Of my Christian
sisters ond brothers were opposed to
this action. L can appeal to Rov.
Mr.. Richardson, and ask him if my
humble efforts havo not been con-
sistentwith my Christian profcssi n ,
and my walk and conversation, m.-
dor Divine grace, ever been such as
not to meet tho approval Of my
pastors. My Session may close
their doors to me, refuse my humble

the mental, moral, and christian

The Recent Aiken Arrests.
From the Nc,c Tork: Heuld.l I

At Aiken, in South Carolina, on
Friday, thore was a Democratic
parade and meeting. At tho close
of the meeting the United States
marshal arrested Col. Butler, who
had headed the parade, and several
others. This is q neat way Of
making arrests. 1t does not show,
however, that tho Federal marshal
had the fear of "unlawful combina-
tions" before him. He seems to
have acted entirely without fear that
any one would resist his mandates.
What offence the arrested persons
are charged with the telegraph does
not inform us but as it was q Fcdc-
raj officer who took thom prisoners
they must be charged with some
crime against tho United States.
We remark that here in the North q
police officer does not usually select
a political meeting rs tho place to
make arrests of persons who evi
IDENTIFY are not flying from instice
Such course would be thought in
decent, and if the persons arrested
were prominent citizens, not avoid
ing the law officers and easily taken
IN moro quiet manner, to seize
them in n political meeting would
create here good deal of indiena
ton. rs being needlossly irritating
and offensive.
Such acts as this in tho South
reminds us of the remark of vehe-
mcnt but honest Republican, on his
return from visit to Now Orleans
after tho dispersion of the Louisiana
Legislature. Ho had gono South
with some beliefs, which were
changed by seeing how matters
really stood there. "The first thing
we OF tho North ought to remember

whites, said he, "is that they also
arc human beings" SUPPOSE n

Tho only States not accounted
for are California with 6 electoral
votes, North Carolina with 10, and
Oregon with 3. If they should all
go for Hayes, which is exceedingly
unlikely, Tilden would still be elect
ed. having one more vote than he
needs. There is no real doubt
among Republicans that Tilden will
carry every State on the list, and
two OF three more. Louisiana is
tho only State that is seriously
claimed as doubtful, and the evi-
denco from that State is pretty
unanin Is that Il o Democrats are in
the majority, and that there will be
no attempt this year to count in Re
publican candidates who are not
elected.
These are not Democratic esti-
mates Tho journal that makes
them is the Springfield Repubtican,
n paper of great influence in New
England, speaking without heat or
prejudice, from an Independent
Republican standpoint. It comedies,
likewise, that California, Oregon
md the "two Carolinos," are at least
moro likely to all 60 for Tilden than
half of them for Hayes. Nevada
too, left to itself, is Il Democratic
State.
Never before have the Ropubli-
cans admitted that they might lose
New York. They admit it now, in
insisting that Hayes can bc elected
without New York. This is out of
the question. Mother man, in our
Judgment, can be elected without
New York. Certainly Hayes can

Our own calculations arc still
more favorable than those of the
Republican. In our opinion the
election of Tilden is certain, unless
there be q revulsion of popular feel

if the Southern people maintain
their present attitude of dignitied
submission and obedience to the

To tho People Of tho United Statos.
Ridgcway, S G.

Well founded apprchensions that
the civilization Of our State is in
danger OF being utterly overthrown.
and an ovcr-ruling sense of duty to
ourselves, our postorty and the
country ut large, impel us to mako
m authentic statement of our actual
condition to the American people,
in tho hope that it will induce then,
to extend to us their sympathy and
aid i'll this distressing cxigency of
our affairs. There is 80 much nt
stake, that wo cannot afford to be
silent, or to withhold any effort tha t
may possibly bo of avail.
For ten long weary years the
white pooplo OF South Carolina have
endured condition Of things which
any Northern State would have
been tempted to throw off, in two
years, at the point of tho bayonot,
If it could have been done in no
other way. They bore and foreborc,
in the hope that somo returning
sense Of justice or happy stroke of
fortune would bring relief. But no
such sense of justice or happy
stroke came to their relief, aud hope
sickonod and died away in their
hearts. Atlast they determined, as
by a common impulse, and q natural
and uncomfortable instinct of
freedom, to make ono supreme effort
for their redemption but to make
it under and within the law.
Those who hold authority here,
having through party afliliation
access to tho highest organs of
political power in tho country, and
to tho equally powerful organs of

The Present Outlook.

Whilo for the first portion of the
campaign in tho State nll interest
was centred on Hampton and the
national canvass was ignorol, in the
enthusiasm over tho State ticket, q
remarkable change has taken place
since the elections in Indiana and
Ohio. Tho prospects of Tilden have
been visibly improving since that
glorious victory. The doubtcrs, of
whom thoro is n noble array Of half Il
million, were waiting for somo straw
to show tho direction of the current,
now that the administration, in spite
horculean efforts, was fairly beaten.
They began coming over gradually.
ono by one, then by twos and thrccs,
AL !:ttc!!y stampede has taken
place. Every visitor who returns
from tho North brings tho utmost
gratifying tidings. Senator Ran
dolph of Now Jersey was in Colum
bia fow days ago, und said that Now
York, Now Jersey and Connecticut
aro sulo, that Wisconsin is re-
gardcd as safe by Tildcn, and that
nothing but some disturbance in tho
South would mar tho rising fo: t ncs
of tho Democracy. A Republic. II
recently from Pennsylvania said that
even tho keystone State was in
doubt, that tho Democracy wcrc
decidedly on tho offensive, and that
tho Republicans woro apprchensivc.
Tho Democrats everywhere nro iubi-
liant, and tho Radicals ero depressed.
1t is reported that Governor Scott
and Judge Carpenter arc earnest
in their dcnunciation of Chamber
lain for having by his proclamation
defeated their candidate, Haycc.
Senator Robertson is just from
Washington, and is quotol as saying
that ifhc woroa botting man, Tildcn
would be first choice in tho pools.
Tho latest reports from Morisscy's
and Johnson club rooms in New
York show that tho pools thcro
stand for Tildcn 5000 and for HAYES
$16O, while bets arc 100 to 10 that
Tlldcn will carry New York. Indeed
majority of $4,000 in the State is
claimed for him.
A great degree of credit for this
favorable aspect of affairs is admit
ted by our friends at the North to be
due to tho forbearanco OF our people
here. South Carolina has been tho
centre of attraction for tho past
three weeks. Tho prompt contra
diction of Chamberlain's assertions
by tho Judges, tho leading Rcpubli-
cans, tho bishops and ministers, tho
business men and Northcrn-born
residents, has convinced respectable
people ut the North Of the existence
OF no conspiracy to carry this State
by the bayonct, and has done tho
Democratic cause infinite good.
The prospect is very bright that
Tildcn will be elected by hand
somo majority, and that new era
will dawn upon us. Let our people
do their duty.
