Republican Misstatements.
From the New York Herald,l

We call attention to one singular
contradiction in the opposing state
ments from South Carolina and LOui-
SARA, the more remarkable because il
occurs in the reports from both States
The Republicans assert that authentic
statements are at hand from but very
few counties. The Democrats assert
that authentic statements are at hand
from nearly all and, indeed, a late
dispatch from South Carolina gives re-
turns, claimed by the Democrats to be
from the Board of Managers of eyerp
county In that State.
Now, as to Louisiana, there are some
few far away outlying counties, from
which returns may not be receivable
for a day or two ; but there Is no RED
son in the world why transcripts of
the official count from every South Car
olina county should not have been by
this time obtained from the Democrat
ic member of the county election man.
ayers, by the Democrats, and from the
Republican manager by the Republic
cans, either at Charleston or Column
bia. We beg Governor Chamberlain
to beware of any appearance, eve OF
huggermuggering the returns. He
and his VIGOROUSLY corrupt allies
Elliott, Moses and Whipper-are al
ready objects of suspicion here in the
North, and justly so. They must re-
member that this is not merely q State
election we are electing a President
this time, and there must be no non
sense. Mr.. Chamberlain is too smart
and practised a politician to waste time
in gathering the returns; there has
been time enough to geta at least O COM
plete summary statement of the votes
of all the counties. IF the Democratic
side have got it, as they assert, people
will hardly credit Governor Chamber
iain's professions of ignorance.

KING COTTON.
A Smaller Crop than Last Year
Deemed Certain,

WAsHISGToS, November 15.-The
official reports to the department OF
agriculture indicate that the season has
been extremely favorable for gather
ing cotton, except in some portions of
North Carolina.
Frost has injured the top crop in the
northern belt, notably in Arkansas.
The fibre is cleaner than usual and of
superior quality. In the southern belt
drought in the Gulf States, rain storms
in the Carolinas, the boil worm in the
Southwest, and the caterpillar in GER
tain locations ear the Gulf coast, are
the chief causes of injury to the crop.
THE harvest will be complete at Il
much earlier date than usual,
The crop must be smaller than that Of
last wear however favorable and lorg
> the remaining season for gathering
may be. -.
In the comparison with the last crop
the percentages of the Atlantic Coast
states are relatively larger by reason
of the poor returns of 1875: and small
. Ter in the Southwest from the compar'
;son with the remarkable yield Of that
rrpion. They are as follows: North
carolina 92, South Carolina 80, Geor'
pia no, Florida 100, Alabama II, Mis-
sissjppi IS, Louisians SO, Texas 100
Arkansas Is, Tennessee l0l. The az

The End of a Diamond Wedding
New York Letter.


Some years ago there was a diamond
wedding in a brown stone mansion
close to Fifth avenue. It was in all re-
spects a recherche affair-the gifts
were magnificent and costly. and the
young couple started prosperously on
the voyage of life. After a couple OF
seasons in Europe the young wife was
taken sick, and died in her mothers
house in this city. Among the origi:
nal presents was q costly array of sole
silver, duly marked with the brides
initials. This silver was valued al
over SIS, 900. It was handsomely en-.
cased, aud for convenience sake, after
the woman's death, was placed In O
common packing trunk and stored In
the vaults of safe deposit company.
The segual to this story happened or
Monday last, when the husband, now
bankrupt, pledged the whole of the
silver to u professional money lender
for a paltry $500. Those who know
him freely predict that he will let the
whole oft 60 when his obligation ma.
lures, and that lie will lie unable to pay
the amount of the loan. A similar &C.
quail was reported last year to a stylish
wedding in Grace Church only TWEEN.
ty months before. The presents and
Jewels of the wedding duy were sold
for a mere pittance to buy bread and
butter, and to-day the parties are pen
niless. In the other case, first men-
toned, there Is not n shadow of q
doubt that the silver thus pledged will
be sacrificed in q like manner.

WHY WE COUGH.-Au Italian IL

WHY WE CoUGH.-An italian in
vestigator has been studying the cause
of coughs, and has come to the conclu-
sion that they are the result Of the
presence of a parasitic fungus in the
air passages. In eve cases the par
asitic multiplies and takes possession
of the lung cells. Quinine is said to
possess the power of stopping the mi
~cIoscopic fungi, and Is therefore rec
commended US q remedy. The Italian
doctor has successfully used q powder
composed of the carbohydrate OF
quinine, n part; bicarbonate Of soda
one part gum arabic, twenty parts
The soda is intended to dissolve the
mucus, the gum arabic to increase the
adherence OF the powder on the bron.
chial passages. The blowing in of the
powder should take place during g
deep inspiration Of the patient, SO that
it may penetrate the windpipe, the
chief seat of the microscopic fungus
The remedy, whatever may be truth o
the theory on which it is founded has
the merit Of simplicity, and if is ap'
plication did little good, it could not dc
much harm.

A Letter From MI. Calhoun.

EDITOR SOUTHERN HERALD:
Dear Sir regret exceedingly that
you did not carry out your declared In.
tention of coming to my place, though
+ still hope to have the pleasure OF a
visit from you.
A tour in this direction would not
be without interest. You would see q
beautiful, fertile, healthy and fresh
country in the midst of a worn one,
and many more miles of water power
than has, anywhere else in q cotton re-
gion, been brought together by a sole
proprietor. But you would be surpris'
ed to find less than one-tenth OF it oc.
cupied indeed, counting the whole O
my MAGNIFICENT estate, not the one-tt'
tietl part yet I have the largest body
of tenantry in the State. South Caro-
lima could easily support five times Its
present population.
If you will take the pains to col
late the samples Of cotton l mailed te
you, with the very best Mt the Ctnten'
NAL, I am confident that the mil.
wood cotton" will be pronounced
again, as aIways, superior to any upland
cotton ever grown. This would be an
addition TO the various modes in which
South Carolina has surpassed. Indigo
produced in this State was quoted
highest in the marts of the world
The staple that superseded it, rice, at
tanned such a degree of excellence,
that 1 saw none to compare with it in
China or the East Indies. Subse'
auentty, Ward, of Georgetown, S. G.,
in his "Big Rice" carried tbs grain to
still greatet perfection. The Sea
Island cotton, q creation Of South Car
DINA, has never been eq ualled. The
Railroad between Charleston and
Hamburg, at the time of its compile
ton, was the longest in the world,
and the first OH which locomotives,
conveying freight and passengers,
were started. Our quondam fellow
citizen, Gen. Wade Hampton, he o.
the Revolutionary war, made the vel
founded boast that he had raised more
wheat, more cotton, more sugar, IN
one year, than any other planter had
ever done. In my visits to the West
Indies and to Brazil, I heard Of nc
planter who owned more tha!
i,5OO slaves. Nathaniel Hayward, Of
Combahee, with q view to making his
will, had his counted; the number
was 5000, OH twenty.seven planta'
tons.

Return Of Rev. Ellison Capers.

We announce with unfeigned pleas
ure the return to Greenville Of Rev.
Ellison Capers and family. after oh alb
sence of about one year. The people
OF our city always had a warm place IN
their hearts for them, and although
they had departed the State, the gent
nj love and esteem long entertained
and often expressed for them, glowed
just as brightly as though they had
never taken their leave. 1t would be
entirely superfluous for US to say. that
they have been welcomed back, for
those who knew Gen. Capers, know
that nothing could eve sever him
from those once knowing him.
He re-assumes the position of Rec
tor of Christ Church in this city.-En-

The colored people who complain
that their voters in certain sections OF
the South are iutimidated, should take
care that they are not charged with
similar intolerance. Quite a number
of cases of violence by colored mel
against certain other colored men who
proposed to vote, or actually did vote,
the Democratic ticket, have already
been reported. Last week the resi-
dence of a colored preacher, of Rich
mond, who voted that ticket, was torn
down over his head by his colored
brethren, and on Sunday q colorcd
minister, of Baltimore, named Robin
son, was driven from the pulpit by his
enraged congregation. 1t rs alleged
that this clergyman had never

was that he had voted with the Demo-

The Court to Decide the Balance.
The State Board of Canvassers CON-
pleted their labors last night, so far as
obeying the order of the Supreme
Court is concerned. It now devolves
upon the court to declare whether the
election shall stand as the following
figures indicate, or whether the illegal
poll at "Sheldon," in Beaufort Coun:
ty, which contains over 500 votes shall
be thrown out. Should the court de'
eide to throw out this poll, the whole
Democratic State ticket will be elected
and two electoral votes added to the
vote of Tilden and Hendricks. There
can be little doubt that the poll will be
disregalded, as it is clearly illegal.
The law requires that q poll shall be
opened alta place called browns Cross
Roads," in Beaufort County, and no
poll was opened at that place on cleo
ton day, but at another place, known
as "Sheldcn"-stated by some parties
to be three and by others to be six

having been cast at the latter place,
which is not designated in the law,
