THE CHARLESTON ELECTION.

The s!sGtios il. Charlca.on County for
members of the Legislature to succeed
the Mackey delegation, who were refused
seats on account OF the intimidation,
fraud and corruption practiced in the
election last fall by the m:inions of Bowen
aud Mackey, came off ON Tuesday, the
26tb of June last, and resultedfin COM
plete Democratic triumph-ail of the
Democratic candidates being elected
almost without opposition. This shows
the correctness of the decision of the
House of Representatives, declaring
the last election void OH account
of tho frauds practiced, for if there
had been legitimate Republican ma
jority of eight thousand in the County
last NovemL er, it would certainly hcye
made some effort to elect the Republican
ticket this time. Much credit is due the
people of Charleston for the energy and
decision with which they have conducted
this election, and we congratulate them
upon their unparalleled success. When
such counties os Charleston, darlington,
Orangebnrg and Richland go Demo
cratic, the Republican corpse may indeed
be said to have been buried.

Thc Democratic Majority in Congress.

WASHINGTON, June 26.
/ \ copy has been made of the pay GER
tifcatcs for the Forty-fifth Congress, as
furnished by Clerk Adams to Sergeant
at-Arms Thompson, and constituting his
vouchers in account with the United
States Treasury, and given to some Re-
publican papers us the roll Of the next
House made out by Adams. The list
stands precisely rs it did when an alb
stract Of it was published the first week
in April, showing Democratic majority
of sixteen, with seven members to hear
from. No further changes have been
made, and none will be until the time
comes for making up the roll. What
that will be no one yet knows. In the
Colorado case the law is all against Del
ford, and Patterson's title to the seat
turns on the construction of ali enabling
act. The Supreme Court Of California
has given Pachcro, Republican, the seat
in the Fourth District of that State, and
Wigginton has appealed. The contest
in the courts over the Third District in
Missouri is in much the same shape.
The record of Florida end the Fourth and
Sixth Districts of Louisiana are covered
by conflicting certificates from the rival
Governors. Adams will probably follow
the example set by Hayes in this matter
and recognize Nichols and the Demo
cratic Congressman.

The true inwnrdness of the last cam
paign is gradually coming to light. 1t
has transpired rs an open secret in wash
ington that two certificates of deposit for
$4,000 each were made payable to r. B.
Hayes ont &C the Republican campaign
fund, and thai they were drawn by his
endorsement. 1t has also been said that
Mr.. Hayes received sother Sums from the
same source, aud thus, for the first time
in the nations history, we have Prcsi-
dent who hes he!ped tc spend the cam
paign fund raised to eject him. We
have no right to conclude TINT Iii. Hayes
appropriated this money to his own use,
but then 1t raises questions which ought
not to be asked concerning our President.
Was the sum spent in helping to buy his
election under one form or another? {?
Whether MIR. Hayes spent this money
properly or not, he showed by handling
it a Disregard for the etiquette Of former
canvasses, and brought himself down to
the level of the ward politician, who lie
entrusted with large sums of money to
advance the. interests of the party to
which he belongs. Mr.. Hayes was
pushed to carry Ohio, but hs should
never have consented to take part in the
expenditure Of money to advance his
election To the Presidency.

= One of the best acts passed by the
Legislature land we find upon examina-
tion that great many wise acts were
passed) was that which provides for in
Yeess!;gating the bong tls indebtedness of
the counties in the Stat AS regards
Newberry, there are undoubtedly many
claims against the county that have been
audited and approved by Radical admin
istrations that are fraudulent either in
whole or in part. Bridges have been
built across creeks and branches aud
work done on public buildings at enor-
nous figures, out of all proportion to the
value received by the county. The poor
house has been managed in manner
that calls for the severest condemnation.
Careful calculations show that it would
have been q saving TO the county to board
tho inmates of that institution ut a first
class hotel. With such facts in view, it
is easy to understand how, with county
tax of three mills year, the debt of the
county is over $4,000. A commission of
three citizens will be. appointed by the
Governor soon, ts provided Dy Inc aUt,

J.. CAsN CARPENTER.

Another carpet-bagger has come to
grief for practicing the vices which are

forgery which will no doubt put Carpen.

He only got three thousand two hundred
dollars more than was due him for aoyer-

IlIFORTANT MOVEMENT.

The Charleston papers have been urg-
ing the necessity of closer connection be-
tween Charleston and the interior Of the
State in point of the time consumed in
travel, with view of increasing the busi-
ness Of that city. The Me,rs and Courier
of last Saturday contains very excellent
article in advocacy of quick time, and il
the business mon of Charleston would
rally to its assistance, we hcve no doubt
that sufficient influence could be brought
to bear upon the railroad authorities to
induce the desired short schedule. If
the trip from the up-country to Charles
ton only required from twelve to flfeeen
hours, the advantages would soon be as.
cer.ained. Places are not measured 80
,nnch by distance now as by the time be.
tween them, and, in shis respect, even
Richmond is as near to US as Charleston.
This distance in time has done much to
divert trade to ether places, and almost
amounts to o; prohibition Of subscription
to the Charleston daily papers, fer Co.
lumbia, Atlanta and Charlotte are hom
twelve to twenty -four hours ahead, whilo
Richmond is as near, and New York is
only fifteen hours later in getting its
papers to us ths.l Charleston. There is
no doubt that the business Of our City
by. the Sea would be greatly benefited
by securing circulation of their papers
ti,rniiahnnt the whole State. If the city
Of Charleston can induce the adoption OF
O ahFst schedule to Walhalla and inter-
mediate places, and then get favorable
freight rates for all points, its business
with the interior could easily be doubled.

Nothing decisive has occurred during
the past week in the Russio- Turkish war.
Fighting has been INDUCED in to con-
siderable extent, and many iE both
armies have been killed. About sixty
thousand Russians are over the Danube,
and fight has boen progressing at Sis
tova, with disadvantage TO the Russians.
The latter have destroyed Rustchuck by
bombardmcnt, and the Turks aro said to
be laying waste Bulgaria, one Of their
own Provinces, for the purpose of falling
back aud leaving tho Russians barren
country 10 aubsist upon. Tic Russians
are moro active and better Differed than
the Turks, and their progress into the
Ottoman dominions will probably be
rapid. Although "Ho1y War" has been
declared, the Sultan of Turkey has not
up to this time assumed command OF his
forces. The Russians are elated by vic.
tory, while the Turks are depressed by
defeat. There is very little prospect that
any of the European powers will at PRES
ent interfere. They will allow Russia to
whip Turkey if she can, but after tho
war is over if Russia attempts to take
any territory she will have harder fight
for 1t than that which is now going on
with Turkey. 'fhe policy of Russia will
probably bo to divide Turkey up into
small independent governments, and
trust in the future to be able to annex
them to her territory.

The administration Of President Nc.
Mailon in France is determined to carry
the country against the Republicans
The Prefect has discontinued the Council
OF one Of the towns of France and substi-
tuted commission for the purpose of
carrying the election in it. There is
every indication that fraud and tampcr-
ing with the ballot boxes will be resorted
to to secure an administration victory.
The republic is on trial, and if the ad-
ministration il sustained, il is only u
question Of short time, for the organiza-
ton of the Dc Broglie Cabinet means
the erection if possible of some form Of
monarchy. The Council of Ministers on

holding the elections, but refuse to make
their decision known, though it is
thought they have ngrccd OH August the
9th as the day Of election, an,l only de-
sire to withhold it's publication in order
to prevent the organization of the oppo-
sition. The friends of the Republic,
however, are led by the great and illus
trious M. Theirs, and are organizing for
n determined stand against the admins
tration. The sympathy of all Americans,
and, indeed, of all advocates of selEgov-
ernment, should bo with NJ. Thiers and
