A CHINESE PAPER.--The Pekin Ga.
zette has been established over one
thousand years, and probably its pres
ent numbers are exact counterparts of
the first it issued. Itcovers ten pages,
4xS inches, and has yellow cover, on
which its name is printed. 1t is the
only native paper circulated in a king
dom of Ala, ,000, 900 souls, among peo-
pie who have literature which is
vaster in its influence than that of
any other nation. 1t is exclusively
confined to official notes. The Chin
ese, slow, proud and conservative,
have made no progress in thousand
years.

Good Advice for the Hour.

EDITOR NEVIS this time of great political
excitement, when possibly the peace of the nation
is in danger, behooyes all truly loyal patriotic,
sensible people to practise moderation and tolera-
tion, and to urge upon all the urgent necessity Of
temperance in speech and action. II is no time
for incendary utterances or threats for under the
surface of things, lies volcano of the deepest
excitement and feeling, that has agitated the
American people, since the memorable events of
81, ready to burst forth at any time.
Any one, who has felt the great pulse of the Ma
ton within the past ten days, has good reason for
alarm. Unless the representative men of afipar-
ties act with the purest motives of patriotism and
bury party allegiance and feay for the good of the
country, there is cause for 1t.
Some of the Democratic papers have already ta-
ken up hue and cry over the situation, that is
disgrace to their position leading Journals of the
West. Whoever is legally elected, viii be inaugu-
rated, and the people, who possess intelligence,
recognize and accept that decree everywhere,
without respect TO party.
The course pursued by blatant demagogues and
political ticksters, to keep the excitement at fever
heat and to stir up the worst feelings of their ig-
norant followers, deserves the seyerest condemna-
tion of all honest honorable men. Why7 Be-
cause just such inhammatory proceedings sre cal
culated to outweigh the influence of good men, and
endaDger the public peace.
To show to what an extent demagogues and ig-
noramuses carry their partisan feelings, allow me
to say that threats both loud and deep have been
made since the election against OF our citizens,
for taking an active part in the late canvass as
Repuhlican The same nerson had beam stoned

wonder there is possibility Of danger, and that

LATEST.

To-day's (Tuesday's) city papers
state that the 8. c. Returning Board
were released from Jail on Monday,
by habeas corpus, issued by Judge
Bond, of the U. S. District Court.
They are to appear before the Court
on Wednesday, for further examina-
tion.
The South Carolina Legislature meets at
Columbia to-day, and there are serious
fears of disturbance. About 5000 men,
bers of the Democratic Rifle clubs, fully
armed, have assembled in and around
Columbii. The President has ordered the
q. S. troops now in Columbia to support
Gov. Chamberlain.
Wade Hampton and the leading Demo-
Gratis have telegraphed the President, pro-
testing against the Governor having com
mand of the troops, but the President has
not rescinded his order. Should the Rifle
clubs interfere with the organization of
the Legislature, there will be trouble, but
it. is to be hoped peace will be preserved.
The evidence recently taken in Louis
lana, showing the outrages committed on
colored men to keep them from voting the
Republican ticket, or compel them to vote
against it, is SO shocking as to be almost
beyond belief, but it is sustained by such
strong proof that it seems impossible to
overcome it. The whole country will be
astonished and horri6ed at the terrible
condition of affairs in Louisiana, as re-
vealed by the investigation now going on.

Home Correspondence.
BuErd.

The result of the Presidential
election in this CLAY township, was
surprise to Democrats and Repub-
licans alike. Barnes majority at the
October election was 50, and we con-
fdently expected to give Rutherford
at least 60, but "the best laid plans
o mice and men aft gang aglee," and
when the votes were counted out the
50 for Barnes had dropped down to
nineteen for Hayes, and Republican
faces dropped down to the length of
the very longest fence rail. The
Tildenites were jabila'at. Richard
clapped, his hands and shouted for
JOY. Jackson ran up street at the
rate of ten knots an hour to pro
claim the glad tidings to Sanford
and Daddy Cook, and Thomas was
on his way to Hillsboro in less than
5 minutes to carry the news to Uric.
The NEXT morning, when Uncle Hen
ry heard the news, he jumped over
the wood-pile, threw up his hat and
swore great oath that ''if Tilden
was elected he'd go right down to
Sans and buy the girls 5 cents
worth of candy; he wouldn't keer
a durn for expenses. In fact, the
Democrats of Clay have not felt SO
good, or so much like shouting,
since the Union army was defeated at
Bull Run, or the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln. ''Let us have
peace" i,.r-.9
The Literoti of Buford and vicin-

There has been but little change
in the political situation since last
week.
The Louisiana Returning Board
has been engaged daily in canvass
ing the returns, in the presence oi
five Northern men of each party, and
has got through about half the
parishes in the State. All the un-
contested parishes have been count
ed, and the Board is now engaged
on the returns from parishes where
there are charges of intimidation,
preventing a free and fair election.
There is mass of testimony to be
heard on b)th sides, AMI the
time left is short, but by working
bard the Board can no doubt get
through before Wednesday of next
week, at which time the electors
must meet in each State, according
to law, to cast their votes for Presi-
dent and Vice President. To delay
a decision beyond that time would
only complicate matters still farther,
and perhaps endanger the electoral
vote of the State being lost-a result
which of course the Board will be
careful to avoid.
In Florida, the canvassing of the
vote was to commence yesterday,
(Monday). The Canvassing Board
is composed of the Attorney Gener-
al, Secretary of State and Comptrol-
ler, the first named Democrat, the
other two Republicans. Five repre-
men of each party are to
be admitted as witnesses, besides the
Chairmen of the Republican and
Democratic Committees. The pro-
ceedings in the Supreme Court of
the State last week to compel the
Board to proceed with the canvass,
and prevent the Governor from as
suming the right to canvass the
votes, appear to have been dropped
by consent of both parties.
In S. Carolina, the Supreme Court,
at the instance of the Democrats, is
sued an order last week to the Re
turning Board, requiring them to
reopen the returns, and give certif-
Gates to the State officers and mem
bers of the Legislature, who had the
majority on the face of the returns.
This would elect Hampton Governor
and give the Democrats a majority

of one in the Legislature. The
Board, however. had completed its
business and adjourned before the
order of the Court was received,
having sat ten days, the time requir
ed by law. The members therefore
refused to obey the order of the
Court, and were fined $500 each,
and sent to Jail for contempt.
Before adjourning, the Board mad
given certificates to the Hayes elec-
tors, and also to the Republican
State officers, and majority of Re
publican members of the Legislature
This result they reached by throw
ing out the votes of two counties, in
which there were heavy Democratic
frauds comaaisfsa.

Disqualified Electors.

Drowning men catch at straws"
The Democrats, in their desperate
efforts to secure that one electoral
cOte, required to elect Tilden, have
been industriously investigating the
antecedents of the Hayes electors,
to see if any of them were disquaiif-
ed. Having found that one in Yer
mont and one in Oregon, were post
masters, they raised great shout of
triumph, claiming that these two
electors were disqualified, by reason
of holding an Office of profit under
the United States. This is true but
they also proceeded to claim that
the necessary consequence of their
disqualification is the election of
their Democratic opponents, which
is not true, but contrary to all estab-
lished precedents. The only effect
of the disability of any elector is to
create a Uacdncy in the board Of
electors of his State. Every State has
provided by law how vacancies are
to be filed. In Vermont and
Oregon, and most Of the other States,
if not in all, they are filed by the re-
naming electors at the time they
meet to cast their vote for President.
Therefore, all that is necessary in
the cases referred to, is that they
shall resign before the board meets,
and the vacancies thus created viii of
course be filed with other Republi-
cans, who are not disqualified. 1t is
now stated that both have already
resigned, so there is an end to Til
den's hopes of getting the much
needed vote in that quarter.
But while the Democrats have
been nosing about, hunting for dis
abilities among the Republican elect
ors, the fact has come out, that some
of the Tilden electors in the South
are in the same fix as the Oregon
and Vermont pustmasters, being dis
qualified by section Sd of the 14th
amendment to the Constitution,
which says:
ARTICLE XIV, SEC. 3-No person
shall be Senator or Representative
in Congress, or elector Of President
and Vice President = = who,
having previously taken an oath as a
of Congress, or as an officer
of the United States, or as member
of any State Legislature. or as an ex-
ecutive or judicial officer of any State
or any other Office, to support the
Constitution of the United States,
shall have engaged in insurrection or
rebellion against the same, or given
aid or comfort to the enemies there
Of But Congress may, by vote of
two thirds of each house, remove
such disability.
Ofcourse these disqualified Tilden
electors can resign,an theirplaces be
filed in the same way as those of the
Hayes electors in Vermont and Ore
yon, so it will make no difference In
The outcome. But it was rather anus
ing to see how suddenly the Demo
cratic papers quit talking about the
Oregon and Vermont electors when
t was found out that some of Til
denis electors were liable to the same
objection.

About half the papers have "bull-
dozed,' and the rest "bulldogged.'
It seems that the word "bulldozed'
is right. The "Bulldozers" are
