time 70 the determination of wSioh party has
control Of the majority Of States. The possa.
bility, and to many. the probability that the
election Of the next President will devolve on
the House Of Representatives, voting by
States. gives the question of the majority Of
States unusual prominence. So far as we
can learn tho Democrats have tho majority of
Representatives in nineteen States and the
Republicans majority in nineteen, leaving
ono (Caltorpia) undetermined. This State
now has in Congress two Democrats and two
Republicans, and the next election Of repre-
sentetives will take place in September, 1870.
If the parties should d hold their present status
in that State there could be no. election BY
States, so that the great effort will doubtless
be made to carry California by the rival
parties. The probability TINT the election of
the next President will devolve on Congress
becomes stronger every day in the growth of
the 0reenback Party. If that party contin-
ues to gain strength it will run candidate,
who will likely carry several States, which,
with close race between tho Democrats and
Republicans, will defeat an election by tho
people. This is certainly tho prospect at this
time, though before two years pass there may
DO general breaking up and dividing Of
parties on new lines.

Our Danger.

The { ,ction is over and in South Carolina
all is lovely for the Democrats. The State
81 ticket,had no opposition, and of course was
reelected, while every Congressional District
has beon carried by from two to ten thousand
majority. 1t should be remembered that this
result has been obtained rather by the absence
of activity on the part of tho Republicans
: than from any energy on the part of tho De-
nloorats. 1t ie true the campaign was lively.
$and the people seemed alive to the issues at
stake, but in many parts Of tho State, and
especially in our county, tho vote was sur
2prisingly small. We havo not seen the Off
.cial returns from othor counties aud cannot
therefore tell how far the Indifference mani
festod here existed elsewhere, but wo car see
in our returns enough to show that our
greatest danger in the future arises from
! the want Of proper vigilance on tho part Of
( our people.
az In 1876 our county polled 2.640 votes,
whilein 1878 the total vote is l840, falling off
2of 800 votes. In 1876 Hampton, with active
opposition, poled 1888 votes, while in 1878,
without opposition. ho pollod only 1880 votes,
and tho majority Cor Col. Aiken is considera-
ply loss thnn in 1875
1t may be said the election came off in a
busy season, and thore being no opposition,
therc was littlo need of full vote. If ono
man can excuse himself thus, every voter
could do likowise, and all We have gained,
3 with so much labor and expense, would bo
ost from inactivity. In elections every citi-
zen has duty to perform for himself and no
one should desire, much less sock, to avoid it.
The precedent is bad and is tho very course
ito encourage opposition and defeat. Mako
hay while tho sun shines, is good adagc,
and it is equally advantageous to build up
and strengthen good government while there
4 is no active opposition.
We are satisfied the small vote in this
4 county is very much due to the primary elec.
\ tion. the people looking upon every thing as
settled by it. Our local officers are subjo ,ts
Of proper concern to our people, but the
control Of the State and the election of Demo
cratic Congressman are far above our looa
interest. 1t would be better to have no pri
mary election, fit has tho effect of cutting
down our vote at the legal elections. NJ
4 harm has resulted this time from the uncon
cern of our people, but We think every mar
should think we'll Of this matter and deter
Z mine in tho future to exercise his individua
right Of voting whether there be opposition
q 0rnot. Until 1875 our entire county vote ha
not aggregated above two thousand, and now
Il it has gone back lower than formerly. Lot

Aud when tho farmers Of the Tugaloo Val.
ley can turn their faces from the ridge
country, instead of having to wagon their
produce many miles over rough, hilly country
to railroad towns, already glutted, and having
to haul their produce around and soil at less
than the expense Of producing, to such q
market as Augusta and the cotton producing
country this side, with low freights for their
heavy produce transported right from their
doors. certainly will add now impetus and q
new era will dawn along the entire vallies of
Togaloo and Senooa in the cultivation Of
river lands. All Of this prosperous change
may be brought about with the proper means
which can be done eithor by private subsorip
tioa or appropriations by Congress.
l sec that South Carolina has for tho last
fifty years reooiyed but $l34 900 for river and
harbor improvements, whilo the State of
Delaware has had between $3.000000 and
$4,000,000. Has not this lnok of receiving
our portion Of public funds sornc bearing on
our Representatives in Congress2 And for
tho future might they not mako vigorous
effort to obtain an additional aid for river
navigatiouf 100000 expended on tho Sa-
vannah River and it's tributaries would give
ample improvements in tho way Of naviga-
ton to transport oil tho produce raised along
these valleys, and whom once properly CON
struoted, unlike railroads, would need no
repairing, but would stand for all time to
como, &c.
The eight horse power boat has ascendcd
twenty miles abovo Augusta. Tho river
being very low, it is impossible to navigate
with success, without first cloaning out the
river.
But have already written moro than
expected, but much moro might bo said in
regard to tho advantages resulting from tho
opening Of tho Savannah River, such as the
increase Of fish, culture of fruit, both along
tho river, and especially along tho spurs of
the Blue ridge. Think of these things, brother
