We wish to warn our readers against
the danger which may result unless
they. are certain to be at home on No
venber Gh-day of the Presidential
Election. 1t has been definitely as
certained that on October 10th, at least
10, 600 Republican voters were absent
at the Centennial, enough to have Sc
cured the election of Mathews and
Howard and even Force, despite the
frauds in the First, Second and Fourth
Districts. No doubt this large number
were mainly absent because of their
over confidence in the result, but their
over confidence came near costing the
party serious loss.

continued to train with the ReforIners,

THERE are few closer students OF
5Jolitics than Edward Mcpherson, late
Clerk of the House OF Representatives.
One interesting result of his researches
is given in lis recent speech in Penn
syivania, in which he states some facts
not generally known with respect to
significant changes in the constitutions
of Southern States. He shows that
Alabama. Arkansas, Missouri, and
Texas have stricken from their :onsti-
tutions the requirement of paramount
allegiance to the Union, and have sHb-
stituted much miider phrases. After
this the South can hardly complain If
the North declares that the speeter of
States Rights again stalks abroad.

AT several of the polling places in
this county, the Democrats tried a
very small game in order, if possible,
to reduce the Republican vote. They
would ask Republicans who were
handing out tickets to let them have
one % look at it, and then walk off
with it and repeat the same experiment
with another. At one polling place
they carried this on so successfully
that when the polls were closed only
six Republican tickets were left in the
hands of the Committee. The object
was evidently to. exhaust the supply
of tickets, and thus prevent the Re
publicans from getting in full vote.
Now, while we wish our friends at the
polls to be courteous and accommoda
ting they should always remember
that it is not wise to get out of
ammunition. Always have g reserve
of tickets on hand, SO that the tactics
of the enemy may not prove successful.

in this State, the first meeting in this
county, at which the Democrats put
their shotgun policy into practice,
took place over month ago. on the
Cooper River, some ten or twelve miles
from the scene of the late riot. The
Republicans had called IL meeting, and
the Democrats in the ci.y chartered a
steamboat and took about 80 well
armed men IT, the meeting. They form
ed their men in line near the stand,
and demanded that they should have
halfthe time for their speakers. The Re-
publicans did lot relish this kind Of

irritated the Republicans by their vio
lent denuncation of theiT leaders aud
their party. The meeting at the brick
church near Cainhoy was called by the
republicans, and was largely attended
by men who were present at the first
meeting, at which the Democrats had
enforced their demand TO speak, but
had not attended any of the joint dis
cussions; and, many of them being
suspicious of the Democrats, carried
such guns as each man had at his home,

but no militia went there with State
arms and ammunition, as the Demo
Gratis claim, aud the best evidence OF
that fact is, that all the dead were shot
with buckshot, aud not with rifle balls.
When these colored Republicans arrig-
ed at the place of meeting, their lead
ing men told them that they were vic
lating an agreement by co:aing armed,
and that they must deposite their arms
at some place away from the grounds.

A Fine Display.

A fne display of new and elegantly
| finished vehicles was made in 'front.' OF
| Grimm & Gallin's carriage factory on
| Tuesday last. The boys had taken all
the finished work ont of the show room
| in order 10 brush it off. and sweep ont
the room, and had placed the carriages,
huggies, phaetons, &C., along the side of
the street, as above stated. The beauti-
ful. richly painted and elaborately fin
| ished work was thus shown of TO good
advantage, and its real superiority could
the more readily be observed in detail.
| We did rot count these carriages as they
stood in imposing array on the street,
but they were quite numerous, and rep
resented a money value reaching con-
siderably upwards in the Thousands
large number of which are already sold,
having been put up to order. Such
vast Improvements have been made,
within the last ten years,:.in the general
construction of carriages and buggies,
that to point them out singly would be
tedious and superhuous. 1t is sufficient
to say that all the modern improvements
have been adopted by the proprietors of
this factory. and that with the superior
skill of their workmen in all depart
ments, they are enabled to compete snc-
cessfully with the more pretentious es-
tablishments Of the cities.
We closely inspected number of the
carriages as they stood upon the street
the wood work, iron work, painting
and vanishing, and have no hesitation
in pronouncing it all of a high order of
excellence. The work. in its finished
condition, is light, strong, beautiful, and
in a word, admirable.
Near this gorgeous display. stood an
old rig which had been brought to the
shop for repairs. 1t was one of AIS
first efforts, and though doubtless good
job in it's day, it was made to appear very
common by the contrast of it's beautiful
surroundings 1t served to illustrate, in
a manner, TO what proficiency a man
may attain in his work manship by studi-
GUS application TO business and attentive
heed to the march of progress in all
things going about him.
Several of the superb turn-outs re-
Gently completed by this establishment,
are now the property of citizens of this
place and vicinity, and will be readily
recognized as they roll through our
streets during the pleasant evenings of
the present season. Others have been
purchased by parties living abroad;
while orders for all kinds of work in
their line are flowing in upon them at
a rate that cannot be otherwise than en-
couraging in a high degree.

passed away the evening in
the graceful and exhilrating exercise
of the cotillion, waltz, schottish, etc.
Throughout and in all particulars, the
celebration was a splendid success, and
reflects credit upon all who had any
thing TO do with its management. In
this connection we must not omit mem
tion of the fact that the wives, and 9TH
er female relatives in large number, of
the resident Odd Fellows performed ex-
cellent service in those essential matters
peculiarly adapted to their skillful
hands.
As organizations, there were present at
the celebrations: The Newark Lodge
and Encampment; the Uniontown Lodge;
the RushviIle Lodge; the New Lexing~

Besides there were representatives of
Lodges from Lancaster, Logan, Nelson

The Almanac Man and the Long Bow.

/ TIE compiler OF the venerable Ia
gerstown Almanac that 80 many will re-
member a. hanging in the chimney cor
! nrr in their bnyhood days, has made
many hits and misses in his time, not
only in his conjectures of the weather
but in nir;,r facts and sayings; but it is
to be h.F..i no stranger miscalculatinn
was ever found in it than in an estimate
in regard to ''ihe people of the earth"
on the February page for the current
year. He says: The number who have
lived upon the earth since creation has
been estimated at % ,000, ,000, 600, 900 600
this sum, when divided by p, ,864, 900,
the number of square miles, gives .314,-
522, ,0S6, to a square rod and five 10 a
square foot. Then follows this unpleas-
ant supposition, suppose square rod
capable of being divided into eleven
graves, each grave would contain one
hundred persons; so that the whole earth
has been dug over one hundred times to
bury its inhabitants, supposing they
had been equally distributed. Were
wonId cover the land to the depth of
one hundred feet"
According to the usual chronology,
man has been on the earth $3.50 years,
and if We assume the present population
al 100000, 600 and the present average
duration of life, making no allowance
for the depopnIation by the flood we
have little over 176 generations of 33
years each. This will give an average
population of 700 ,0O0. 900 coming and
going, three times in a century, or the
whole number of persons that have
lived are no more than 176 generations
of 7O0000.000 each or only l23, 200 .000.-
600. By what means ii can be estimated
to be nearly $1,000 times as many as
these data give, cannot see. Again,
the almanac man assumes the surface
of the earth TO contain p ,S64 900 square
miles If he meant to include the sea as
part of mans burial place, a school boy
will give you the square of the earth's
diameter, fixed in round Numbers at
5000 miles, when multiplied by 3,14l6
as 191 ,062, 400 miles. A little over one
fourth of this is lan6 Warren fixes the
amount at 5000, 900 square miles, 9TH
ers at Az to so millions of square miles
50,0O0,0OO multiplied by 1O2, 400 gives
5,12O.OOO. 100000 square rods of land in
the great cemetery. This, for the num-
Der have estimated, which is certainly
more than the true number, gives one
single grave on forty -one rods Of ground,
or but about one person to an acre of
the whole surface of the globe. Taxing
his own bewildering number of people
at twenty seven thousand billions and
just calculation gives but 5,273 per
square rod instead of 1874, ,522 ,0S6.
Was the Almanac man caught mapping,
or is he no longer infallible? ]. V.

the burning building-thongh it WAS a
narrow escape, indeed. The neighbors
were aroused, and called TO help extin-
gufsh the fire, but Ivy the time they
reached the scene, it was too far advanc-

to have originated from a defective flue.
The house was a story and half log,
weather boarded, and with the contents
was probably worth thousand or fifteen
hundred dollars. No insurance.
