By request of the respective writers,
we copy the following letters from last

us pleasure to be able TO set the gen
tlemen straight before the public
and we regret that we gave newspaper

"You would be surprised to see to
what base level some previously hon
orable men in this county have de-
scended. 1t has been anything to gain
votes for Bradley, aud the lower the
means used for it the better with them.
His brothers-in.law have worked like
troians, and not content with hugging
aud consortirg with negroes in their
secret meetings, they have established
social equality, and have ieasted mum
beers of negroes ut their own tables,
and dealt out free whisky without
stint. However much this kind Of
doings may suit the other 5rother-in-
law, we are sure that 1t Is distasteful
to Colonel Morrow, whom We regard
as thorough gentleman, but We are
very much afraid the devilish bad

liz 1904, Thos. Jefferson and Aaron
Burr were Democratic candidate, for
the Presidency. Each received an
equal number of he electoral votes,
and there was, of course, a tie. The
election as referred 10 the House.
After many tie votes, and TO settle the
matter, one of Burr's supporters
dropped him and voted for jefferson
and he was then chosen President. To
make provision for such future con-
tingency, Congress amended the con-
stitution and gave to Congress the
power to choose the President and
Vice President in case Of n tie, and
the House votes by States for Presi-
dent. each State having only one vote.
So it will be seen that in case of tie
vote, Congress has the right to elect a
President. There is no other state Of
case in which Congress can have a con
stitutional right to act in the matter
In choosing Vice President, major
ity of all the Senators elect him, bu
there must be ut least tw0-thirds ct al
the Senators of the States present. IL

would naturally suppose that the man
who receives the greatest number OF
votes would, in this great Republic OF
ours, be the choice OF the people fur
whatever office lie might try To get.
We sometimes doubt that We live in q
Republic, or in country having a
Democratic f,;rm Of government. A
Democracy is "a government by the
people" That means, of course, q
government by majority of the PEG
pie who inhabit the country. In the
late election, Tilden and Hendricks
got over 800, 900 majority Of the poPu'
lar vote over Hayes aud Wheeler,
and yet they may, for the want OF a
single electoral" vote Of one Of the
States, be defeated. Our own opin'
ion is that q majority shoul,! rule ; AID
those who receive that majority shou d
be indicted into Office as the choice
of the people. A State that has tel
electoral votes, and gives a majority
for either party of 1000 is entitled 'c
as many votes in the electoral col
lege" as State which gives $4,000
majority for the other party.

MASTERING HIS CLASs.-1t is plain
that Grant means mischief. If the
people could have a glimpse into those
secret sessions" held by the Cabinet,
they would doubtless hear something
startling and warlike. What means
the gathering of the military clans
around the capitol? Soldiers have
been called to assemble aud go into
winter quarters. but stand ready for
any emergency" Such an order is
without precedent in our country in a
time of peace. Such a course has a
decided tendency to create an uneasi-
ness in the public mind and put a
check on business generally. The adj
pinis,ration, though its organs deny
any preparations of a warlike charac-
ter, but as Grant and Cameron, and
Sherman, can give no explanation of
such steps, the people can come to no
other conclusion than that force is to
be used in inaugurating Hayes after
the usurper Kellogg, and the ignora-
mus, Stearnes, shall have given him,
through the most monstrous swindIing,
the electoral votes Of Louisiana and
Florida. The minds of the people OF
the whole country are already suffi'
GENTLY infiamed, and the course now
being pursued at Washington is but
the adding of fuel to the fame, or but
applying the torch to the magazine.
A policy Of peace is now what We
need, not one Of : hostile nr belliger'
ent kind. But seeing and feeling that
the "scep,re is about to depart from
Cesar, and the crown from Alexan
der" they will dare to do anything
however Illegal, to prevent such ca
larnity to themselves. Unable, as h
is unworthy, to WELD the sceptre and
wear the crown himself, Grant vii
see that they are placed in charge o
one of his own choosing, regardless o
the will of that 100000 majority o.
American freemen. Thank God WI
have, as a people, the right to think
act, and speak for ourselves. ant
Grant should remember that England
had George Ill, and as thu
American people have never submit
ted to the will of a tyrant, they do no
propose now, in the very dawn OF thei
second century as II Republic, tn yiel'
to the dictates of one and place
crown upon his brow, or ON that o.
one chusen by him. This sentiment
is universal in the minds of the nasse
of our people. who know the fate ant

SovTn Can ,LrSA. We had hoped
TO chronicle the fact that South Caro-
lima had elected Gen. Wade Hampton
rs her governor, but from the latest
adviccs, the Board Of Canvassers Of
that State have been guilty Of q
monstrous wrong, by taking upon
themselves not only ministerial, but
Judicial authority, aud by giving the
majority to Heyes, as president, and
Chamberlain as governor, and the
majority to the other Radical aspirants
for Office In that State. The Counting
Board threw out the votes Of Laureps
aud Edgcfeld counties, which gave
large Democratic majorities, on ac-
count. as alleged Of certain Irregular
ities," which effected Republican can
didates. Fraud and intimidation were
their plea, in order to accomplish their
designs. Throwing out Laurens and
Edgefeld counties, the Legislature
will be composed of those who are
favorable to the Republican party,
and, rs the Legislature thus composed,
would be favorable to that party, who
count the vote for governor, they hope
to cast the vote for Chamberlain and
thus defeat Hampton. The entire
proceedings are known to be illegal.
The end is not yet, but We hope that
when it docs come, all men will be
able to say that justice is secured.
