obligations to Mr.. Cashine, the telegraph
operator at this place, for the faithful and
accommodating manner in which he has
disch arged the duties of his Office for the
past two weeks, frequently remaining up os
late as twelve, and even two o'clock, to fur
nish the latest political news, by enabling
persons to get kilograms through. Wo
acknowledge the services he has rendered the
hiteaigeneer, and return our thanks for the
same.
The engine on the Anderson branch of the

Senator Cochran professed to support
Aiken, Conner and Leaphart upon the Dem
ocratic ticket, and Chamberlain and others
upon the Republican ticket. TIE result Is
that Conner and Leaphert ran eyer ffty and
Aiken over one hundred votes behind
Hampton. If Mr.. Cochran supported these
men he has shown clearly that his influence
is minus one. There is no doubt he can
control the colored vote of the County when
ever he wishes, hut he never helps Demo.
crat even if he does promise to support him.
Our people cannot be fooled by any more
professions from him like those he made
two years ago about Greene aud MCGOWAN.
His trick has been disco, cred, and it is use
less for him to try to repeat it In this Coun-
ty. Our people understand his little ruse
and he cannot again deceive then, by it.
Capt. Nathan McAlister, who announced
few weeks ago his intention to support
Hampton Tor Governor, has shown recently
that his professions were deceitful, and that
If he voted for Hampton his influence was
exerted to secure his defeat. Mr.. McAlister
was manager Of the election at Longs
Shop and failed to sign the election returns
from that precinct The blanks were sent
to him for his signature OH Thursday night,
and he refused to sign the returns He need
not give himself any further trouble about
1t, however, Us the two other managers
signed, and it is thereby validated. Capt
McAlister ought TO be prosecuted for neg
lect of official duty, as the law requires the
managers to sign the returns. AS he did
not object to the votes Yhen counted he
could not refuse to sign the returns.
