! WASHINGTON, u. G.. Nov. 20.-3Gvcrnl Of the
Democratic watchers hare returned from South
Caroina. They report That they were greatly
surprised ut tic Indifference Of the Democrats
In that State to Tilticn. They seemed To care
nothing far him In comparison to Hampton.
They still cherish bitter feelings towards NORTH.
cEn Democrats for conspising with them to ac-
colnp!tsh secession, and then giving them no aid
whatcves when their tnovc resulted In war.
ThcscgcntlcmcnsayS Southern Democrats harcno
Idea Of doing the least thing looking TO nnosher
wnr. They and their people have bad enough Of
that, and the leaders among t!Icn speak IN great
| dcrisfon Of tlc utteranccs from Northern Demo-
cratic sources which smack Of war. They say II
was just SO with their Northern friends bcfprc,
up to the time when their assistance ,sas wanted
in the field.
The only hopes Of the Democrats are placed
in the Supreme Court. All serious claims that
the Suite has gone for Tl1den must be nhan.
doncd. II tho Democrats open up the subject
Of throwing out fraudulent votes in any ono
county, q: they hate intItuate,l they would do
In Buford County, their case Is hopeless, Tor
there arc ut least two counties in which
ENORMOUS pEMocKArlc FRAups
| can be proved. THESE are Basnwcll and Edge
field. In Edge1cld tue returns show n,orc
Democratic votes than there are voters IL thu
county. Ttldeu has no chance for opening up
tbis gucstIon and going behind tue returns.
