Kissing the Bride.

The custom OF kissing the bride al q
wedding Is OF great antiquity, and while
among the most refined classes it has
fallen into disuse, it is still insisted on
by many people with great rigor. A
very amusing story is told of a Kentucky
backwoodsman who had, after long
and ardent courtship of the belle OF
one of the Kentucky cities, won her for
bride.
She had for long time wavered in her
choice, undecided whether to take him
or gentleman of wealth and position
in the city, but finally chose the humber
lot in obedience to her heart. The We'd
ding was celebrated in great style, and
the manlygroom was almost as much
admired Tor his colossal proportions and
athletic symmetry as was the bride for
her exceeding loyeliness.
Among the guests was the unsuccess-
ful suitor, who was we'll aware of the
jealousy with which the groom had re-
garded MIN, but who had overcome his
chagrin at his failure and was sincerely
anxious to congratulate the bride. One
by one the guests offered their good
wishes and their hearty kisses, while
the groom looked on with approval and
delight. AT length among the rest came
the rejected lover.
The young groom watched him keenly,
buts without the least animosity in his
expression. The unfortunate rival felt
the delicacy OF his position, and not
caring to provoke the husbands
ire he did not profer the salute
which Was customary. AS he was
giving place to others after wishing
the newly married pair we'll, the groom
grasped his arm with his iron fingers,
and In low tone said: "She's my wife
now, and propose to see that she is
treated as well as my wife should be
treated. Ifyou don't kiss her I'll break
every bone in your bodyu Rather than
quarrel the gentleman kissed the not un-
willing bride, and the groom was salts
fed.

THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.

There is intense anxiety felt through
out the United States as to the result of
the election held for President and Vice
President. This anxiety does not arise
from any doubts in the minds of the
people as to which of the candidates
has received a majority of the popular
votes, for Tilden and Hendricks have a
majority of near three hundred thousand; |;
nor does it arise from any doubt as to
which of them is Untitled to majority
in the electoral college. One hundred
and eighty-fve electoral votes secures
the election of the President. Tilden
has one hundred and eighty-four elec-
toral votes certain, without either Loui-
siana, Florida or South Carolina. Loui-
siana and Florida have certainly gone
Democratic, and there is no doubt that
South Carolina has also gone Democratic.
The vote of any one of these States, or a
single vote from any one of them, would
insure TiIden's election. That he is to-
day the duly and constitutionally elected
President cannot be doubted by any un-
prejudiced mind. The anxiety existing
in the public mind is caused by the fear
of the people that the corrupt Canvassing
Boards of these States will thwart the
voice of the people by throwing enough
Democratic counties or parishes out to
give the Radical State and Federal tick
cts a majority. That the Canvassing
Boards of these States are vile and cor
rupt enough to do this there is no doubt,
and nothing but the fear of the over
whelming condemnation of an outraged
people will prevent it. We believe that
this will prevent it. They may lie and
threaten, but they dread the righteous
Indignation of an injured and outraged
people. We advise all to be calm but
firm, quiet but resolved, with the assur-
rance that the corrupt individuals COM
posing the Boards of Canvassers of these
States will not be permitted to foist upon
the country President in opposition to
the declared will of the people of the
whole country.

LATEST FROM COLUMBIA.
Special kilograms to the anderson n.telAgencer.

COLUMBIA, Nov. lip a. m.
Advices from Florida and Louisiana
render certain, we think, that the Dem.
ocrats carried both. Tilden's vote in
South Carolina is not especially reported
to us. Latest estimate gives his majority
in this State at 600. The State Can
vassers are meeting this morning. Con-
ner, and other able counsel, are before
them. The fight now will be to deny
jurisdiction Of the, Board as judicial
authority, Radicals threaten to throw
out the vote of Democratic Counties in
Guiding Anderson. Troops ordered to
Louisiana and Florida. Prominent citl-
zens of Northern States are invited and
en- route to New Orleans to witness the
counting of the returns. Others will
come here probably. Hampton this
morning issued an address to the people
of thanks and congratulation, counselling
the utmost prudence, with forbearance
and magnanimity to opposition, and es-
tablishing ourselves as seeking alone the
restoration of good government.

COLUMBIA, Nov. 1912 m.

COLUMBIA, Nov. 1872 m.
The latest revision of the returns in
the official count from all except eight
Counties does not vary the previous esti-
mate in regard to Hampton's majority,
which will be near fourteen hundred. 1t
is rumored that many Radicals now con-
cede Hampton's election. They claim
the balance of the State officers, and a
majority for Hayes in this State. They
are evidently weakening. Senator Ran
dolph, Gen. Gordon, Montgomery Blair
and others are here in behalf of the
Democrats, and Judge Carter in behalf
of the Republicans. The State Can
vassers, unless restrained by the Supreme
Court, will attempt to throw out Edge
field, Barnwell and Laurens Counties.
The Democrats protest in many Coun-
ties, including Charleston, Beaufort and
Georgetown, charging fraud and intimi-
dation. The time of holding the State
Fair is postponed to the fifth of Decem-
Der, on account of the political excite
ment throughout the State.

TO DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.

We wish to urge the Democratic Clubs
of our County to keep up their organiza-
tion and continue to have meetings at
stated intervals at which every member
should try to be present. Moreover the
work of getting members should not be
stopped now that the election is over.
Every colored man of the County should
be induced to join the clubs as soon as
possible, and thus unity our whole people
in politics. Remember that "the price
of liberty is eternal vigilance" and DO
not become negligent after the glorious
conquest made on the 7th day of Novem-
ber. Keep up the clubs and strengthen
them from time to time by every possible
exertion which is fair and right. By
such course South Carolina will give a
Democratic majority of $4,000 in the
next election.

WHO is GOVERNOR OF SOUTH
CAROLINA?

There seems to be considerable anxiety
in the minds of some persons about our
next Governor. If the people have had
any voice at all in this election Wade
Hampton is the man. The reports from
the boards OF managers give Hampton
majority of !, ,4O6 votes, while Tilden runs
about 600 votes behind him. The Radi-
Gals, carpet-baggers or rogues, whichever
suits them best, are defeated, and no one
knows it any better than they do.
They are so accustomed to stealing, how
ever, we will not be surprised if they
make an attempt to steal the Democrats
out in the count. The very fact that the
bogus Board of State Canvassers is dilly
dallying about making the return, and is
trying to usurp more authority than the
constitution warrants them, satisfies our
mind that Chamberlain is defeated.
When man gains victory he makes
haste to inform his friends, and had
Chamberlain been elected and the cleo
toral vote of South Carolina cast for
HAYES and Wheeler the news would have
been confirmed by this same Board long
before this time. But four of this Board
are holding an inquest over their own
political demise, consequently it is hard,
very hard, for them to return verdict
"dead." How hard it is for such repro
bates to die. We might call upon them
to "tell the truth and shame the devil"
if we did not believe the old man was
already ashamed of them.

Hayes says he does not care for him.
self or the county about his defeat. 1t is
the poor negro he is sorry for. Don't be
uneasy about them, Governor, for they
will fare thousand times better under
President Tilden and Governor Hamp-
ton, than they possibly could have done
under you,as President, and Chamberlain
as Governor. The Democratic party will
protect them from violence to any of
their rights, and that is more than Re-
nublicanism has ever done. We COM
mend the second letter of Rev. Francis
Davie, colored, which we publish else

will be contented about the Waterloo OF

The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1876-11-16

These figures show Democratic ma
jority in the House of Representatives of
four, and a majority of 1,346 for Hamp'
ton over Chamberlain.
Democratic Senators, Is; Republican,
1s. On joint ballot the Democrats have
70, the Republicans 7S-a majority of l..
The counties of Anderson, Colleton,
Lancaster and Marlboro, which elected
Democratic Representatives and county
officers this time, have Republican Sena-
tors, who were elected two years ago, and
hold their seats for two years longer.
The County of Colleton gave 1,211 Re-
publican majority for State officers, but
on account of split in the Republican
party of the County, the Democratic
majority for county officers was near 800,
thus securing majority in the Legisla-
ture by division of the Republicans in
this County.

animosities of the contest by recalling
the grand results Of our success. Pro-
scribing none for difference of opinion,
regarding none as enemies save such as
are inimical to law and order, let US all
unite in the patriotic work Of redeeming

GEN. HAMPTON SPEAKS.

Gen. Hampton was serenaded IN Co.
lumbia on last Friday night, and respon-
ded in the following remarks, which show
the true greatness of the hero who has
been elevated to the highest office in the
gift of the people of South Carolina:
Mv Friends: I am exceedingly graft
fed at the kindness which you have
shown to me, and 1 cannot refrain from
making some acknowledgment of it;
and not only that, but I wanted to thank
the whole people of South Carolina, for
having done their work so honestly and
we'll, and without having suffered them
selves to be turned aside by any consid-
Grafton. You have done your whole du-
ty, and I now, in the name of the people
Of South Carolina, congratulate you,
and for myself, thank you cordially. |
want to say to you, however, that our du-
ty is not done yet. / have urged the peo.
pie to observe peace and quiet from the
beginning, because wanted to show to
the world that we were fighting tor some
thing more than party, and under the
direction of God himself. wanted to
impress that upon the people of the Uni
ted States particularly, and your conduct
has done so. I want you now to preserve
the same order that you have observed
throughout the campaign, and show these
people we were only fighting for the best
interests of the State. We can now look
back to our victory untarnished BY any
ignoble act. You have, by your ballots,
in spite of fraud and bayonets, declared
what your will has been. We have Ger
taialy acon the victory, though it may be
wrested from our hands. Do not let your
selves be led away by enthusiasm. Try
to seek peace and ensure it. Do every
thing for peace, and your redemption IS
sure. Go to your opponents and say to
them, "We are your friends, and not enc
mies!" l say to you now, that | for one
have no enemies except the public enc
mics; l have no ill feelings towards any
man for anything said or done in this
canvass, and now repeat what have so
often said before during the progress OF
the campaign, that if l. have been elected
to occupy yonder scat, l will know no
party and will try to promote the peace,
happiness and prosperity of South Caro-
lima. Make yourselves worthy OF veto
ry; show that you are not lighting Tor
party, but your mother land. We have
made pledges; show that you intend to
keep them to the letter, and the blessings
which have already commenced to fall
upon you, will be increased. l implore
you, above all things, to go ON as you

Tilden and Hendricks have received
an immense popular vote. Their major
ity will be two or three hundred thou
sand votes, and the Republicans are con-
templating counting them out, and by
deliberate fraud and tyranny placing
Hayes and Wheeler in the positions to
which the Democratic nominees have
been elected by such large portion of
the Union. If the North submits to such
usurpation the day is not distant when
this great republic will be ruled by the fiat
of dictator.

Rock HILL, S. c., Nov. 10, 1876.
Mr.. Oliver 4. Rutchison, Nashua, N. H.:
DEAR S1R-I to-day received your let
ter of goth October. l am sorry / re-
ceived it too late to answer before the
election. The reason l did not receive it
sooner, live some distance from Rock
Hill, and have not been at the post office
until to-day for some time. 1 will write
even at this late date, and give you true
statement ofthe condition of our-the COL
ored race in this State. Itis true that l
am the former slave of Wade Hampton,
and I assure you that I was treated kind
ly by him while his servant. He is as
good, kind-hcarted, honest man as ever
lived, and you may rely on what he says
as being the truth and nothing but the
truth. I have the kindest' of feelings for
him; voted for him and used all my in
fuence with my race for him, as l think
he is the man we need for Governor of
South Carolina now, and thank God l
have just heard that he has been elected
Governor. I know he will do what he
says-be the Honest Governor of the
whole people. The letter you alluded to
was written by me. In regard to rights,
we the colored people enjoy all the rights
the Constitution of the United States
guarantees to us, which is just the same
as the white people enjoy, and no intimi-
dation whatever. Every colored person
speaks out his sentiments freely. All we
need here in South Carolina is an honest
economical government and low taxes.
Yours truly,
REV. FRANCIS DAVIE.

parties regard them with just suspicion,
and they have need to play not only with
common but with very conspicuous fair
ness. If they have carried Loisiana and
South Carolina so be it; but they must
satisfy the honest and fair-minded men
of both parties in the North of that fact,
or they will be disowned and execrated
by their own party. There must be. no
Ku Kluxing of the election returns.
Whatever unscrupulous politicians might
wink at, the main body of the Republican
party in the North is honest and patriotic
and will tolerate no injustice.-N Y.

to the returns of the County Canvassers.
The Democrats are hopeful of a favora-
