Encouraging Account.

On Monday last VIC had the pleas
ure of meeting Capt. II. w. Russell,
ono OF the leading merchants cf Easloy
Station, who has just returned from
New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
moro, where ho purchased q splendid
tall and winter stock Of goods. Capt.
Russell gives us q very encouraging
accout of the political prospect North
Ho says that Tildon stock IS certainly
ahead and rising every day. Across
streets and upon buildings he saw
moro than twice rs many Tilden and
Hendricks angs floating as no did OF
Hayes and Wheeler flags. From con
versation with many prominent men
and from closo observation, ho feels
confident that Tilden is ahead two to
one. The Northern people are taking
much interest in the contest now go,
ing on in this State and without re-
gard to politics universally desire
that Hampton should be elected Gov
ornor All tho Republicans ho con-
versed with were unqualifedely in ia
vor of his election. They have no
confidence in Chamberlain and tho
crew lead by him, and Say that the so
called Republican party in this State
is doing the party North an incalcula-
bio injury and they desire to see it go
down rs soon as possible. Nine,tcnths
Of tho Northern Republicans would,
if they were citizons Of tho State, voto
for Hampton and reform, ard it is
passing strange TO us, to SEQ few na-
tive intelligent whites clnging on 80
| the rotten carcass of Radcalism.

the Democracy Of tho country; and that his
silence on that point, upon which an over
whelming majority of the people Of Maine and
Vermont, and, indeed, Of the entire North,
are more sensitive than on any other, VAS
construed by them into want Of sympathy
with their strong Union sentiment. This, of
course, Is n mistake of the people, arising
from Mr.. Tilden's proverbial slowness. II
will be remembered that Mr.. Tilden was very
dilatory in giving 70 the public his letter Of
acceptance-so much so as to cause his friends
q good deal of unfariness. But the point is
this. Some thousands of people, Hll over the
North, are working very hard for him now;
and it is to bo hoped that he will no longer
delay to furnish the0 with facilities for
proving him, beyond oil doubt or cavil to
have been Union man during the rebellion.
His friends in the North have more difficulty
on that point than on any other Such docu.
ment as has just been described, thoroughly
and indisputedly endorsed by we'll known, ac-
tive leading Union men in New York during
the war, and widely circulated, will enable
the Democracy, having United South to
start with, TO carry enough Northern States
to give Mr.. Tiden 25O votes in the Elect oral
College.
The Pickens sentinel. [volume] (Pickens, S.C.) 1871-1903, 1876-10-05

Tildon Is more votes in tho Electoral
College than are neccssary--I85 be>
ing necessary to elect. Tn tho above
calculation it =sill be seen that we
have included ScHth Carolina, which
has 7 votes, and Florida, which has
votes, or total in the two Statos of
ii votes. we can give these to the
Republicans and still havo 189 votes
left, 4 moro than arc absolutely neccs>
saly 70 elect. So it will be seen that
we can give the Republicans Indiana,
Ohio, South Caroliua and Florida and
still elect TiIdon by tho States that
arc certainly Democratic. This, we
think, places Mr.. TiIdcn's election
beyond doubt, conceding to the Re-
publicans every State TINT thore is the
remotest possibility of their carrying.
We havo taken tho worst possible
Wow Of the situation and can find no
reasons to doubt the election of Mr..
Tilden.

FOR SOLICITOR 8Tu JUDICIAL CIRCUIT:

COUNTY TICKET.
The Outlook.

- Ncxt Tuesday, the 10th instant, tho
State elections in Indiana, Ohio and
West Virginia tako place. At the
outset, tho Democrats conceded Ohio
to the Republicans, but since the cam
vass fairly opened, the Democracy has
Tnado such good Roadway as TO almost
insure q victory. Tho Republicans
lIavo become alarmed, and many Of
them have given up the State. In
diana, in which the Democrats had
the advantage, has been tho battle, field
and the Republicans under tho load
orship Of Morton have been making
desperate efforts. The bloody shirt
has tapped conspicuous!y from every
Radical rostrum in tho State. Money
has been used without stint, and cvery
effort made TO coonize negroes from
kentucky, and white Radicals from
the East to carry tho election. But
notwithstanding all these great efforts
on the part of the Radicals, the State
is considered safe to the Democracy,
and "blue jeans" Williams majority
for Governor is put down at from ten
to twenty thousand. West Virginia
will, undoubtedly 60 Democratic
But tho election in Ohio and Indiana
is considered by the politicians the
pivotal point, upon which the Presidon
tial election turns. Tho Radicals claim
that IT they carry both States, their
chances to elect the President arc cer>
tain, while they concede that if the
Democrats carry Indiana their chan
Gee will be the reverse. The Demo-
araLs arc sanguine and feel no fcars as
70 Indiana, whilo their hopes as to
Ohio have been greatly buoyed up
While we are confident of carrying
Indiana, and have good hopes TO,
Ohio, wo do not feel that it ia abso-
Tntely necessary to carry oithor OF
them to secure the Presidential cleo
tion. The chances arc good for ga
solid South" which has 1873 votos.--
The Democrats will undoubtedly car,

California, Nevada and Oregon, which
have IL votos. In the East the Dem
oclats will carry, beyond a doubt

New Converts.

Judge T. j. Mackey, one of the most prom
inent and able Republicans in the State has
declared for Hampton and his ticket. lie
made speech at Chester on the evening of
the 23d ult, in which he declared that he would
stump the State from the Blue Ridge to the
Atlantic in behalf of Wade Hampton and Re-
form. He said that the money that had been
stolen from the State during the past eight
years, would be amply sufficient if now in the
Treasury, to run the State, free o: expense,
for eight years to come.
Martin II. Delaney, the colored candidate
for Lieut.. Governor on the Independent Re-
publican ticket two years ago, has, in letter
in the News and Cor.::,I, ueo.-."" for Hamp~

General Hagood's Report.


Judge Wiggin requested General
Johnson Hagood, the Democratic
nominee for Comptroller General, to
summon rosseo during tho late riot
along tho Port Royal Railroad, and
Gispcrso the rioters. Gen. Hagood
has made an official report to Judge
Wiggn, in which he says that within
thirteen hours four hundred and se~
venty five citizons of Barnwell County
responded to his call, amongst thom
the colored Democratic Club of Barn
we'll County. Hc secured tho dis
turbed district thoroughly, and found
that the white citizens of the vicinity
had completely suppressed the riot,
and that the riotous negroes had fed
to tho swaps. General H0good in his
report, says that there wero two
whites killed, one wounded severely,
