A Four Mile Race-TIme, S:19 S.4.
This race enlisted the most wide interest
Of almost anything in the annals of SPORT
ing. The competing horses were crack
racers OF the country, and the attention of
horse men every where has been turned to
this contest, which took place after much
preparation, at Louisville, KY, on the 9th
inst. On the start the horses went by the
string like twin bullets. Ten Brock had
the outside Of the track, and the mare be-
ing on the inside took the front from the
start. At the first quarter they were side
by side. The half mile did not change
the positions, and as they moved onward
the thirty thousand spectators held perfect
silence. Between the half and the three
quarters the mare got her nose ahead, and
great cheer went up, and then as they
came past the string, and she again ap-
pu"reo IN front, another cheer was heard.

Gov. Hampton, has a hard job to
keep the South Carolina Democracy
from falling back into their old hab-
its Of prescription, fraud and vio-
lence. One Of the worst counties IN
the State is Barnwell, where The
Democrats have recently notified the
blacks that they have no use for
them and they should not even vote
at the primary elections. Gov.
Hampton went to Barnwell on the
Fourtb of July, and gave the whites
. severe lecture. He said they had
carried the county in 1876 by treat
ing the black men kindly, and assur-
ing them that if they voted with the
Democrats their rights would be pro-
tected. he exposed their plan for
ignoring the immense cOlOred vote
hencefortb, saying: at is thought
that we can be successful in this
election by fraud, and l have heard
rumors floating throughout the
State, occasionally, intimating that
we had the machinery of the cleo
tions in our hands, and that we
could count in anybody we chose. :"
Against such a course Gov. Hamp-
ton made a vigorous protest, declar-
ing that he should do all in his pow
sr to defeat any efforts in that direc-
tion. Hampton is one of the few
Southern statesmen who see that
Negro suffrage is a necessity, and
that the wise course for the whites of
the South to pursue is to make the
best of it and seek to mitigate its
evils by educating the blacks and
cultivating kindly relations with
them. Cleveland Herald.

The PRosPEcT.-The bungling
way in which the Democrats have
essayed to avail themselves of the
advantages of success, and entrench
themselves for a continued and
steady hold upon power, is proving,
as in many other cases, in the past,
that the Democratic party, is no par
~ for prosperity and success. Their
stronghold is in adversely. They
will tug like dOnkeys on rising
ground, If at the bottom of the hill,
but anything like positive success
''intoxicates the brain, and they are
apt to fall into the condition into
which they are so often lured by
the use of bad whisky. This shows
itself in an attempt to inaugurate
another rebellion by the ousting of
President Hayes, after he had been
duly elected and given the reins of
power, by a tribunal of their own
ooncocting. This folly has had the
double effect to disappoint, humble
and mortify the grand conspirators
and the party, and to quicken the
efforts of Republicans in the work o.
rescuing the House of Representa-
tives from Democratic control. Ac
tivity and unexpected enthusiasm
has been apparent in all the conyen
tions yet held by the Republicans
to regain lost congressional districts
to secure sn adequate check upon tn,
Democrats in the Senate and to max
enthusiasm and concentration tel
upon the possibilities connected wit
the next Presidential election. A
founderings and discomftures folloN
the Democracy, and the prestige o
success shall be transferred to thei
opponents, we may hope to see al
that they have gained, ,frittered ava,
and the Republicans-nOtwithstan
ing the gerrymandering of the Stat
make an advance upon thei
stronghold at the next election, an,
that an earnest of success then, shal
only encourage still more effort an
activity, and open the way for ful
ther and still more signsi and decit
ed successes in the future.

How They Investigate.

Secretary Sherman, in his reply to
Mr.. Potter's letter of July l, reiter-
ates his desire to prove that intimi-
dation did exist in certain Louisiana
parishes during the Presidential can
vass. And the Secretary makes a
good point when he calls attention
to the fact that the committee can
not consistently refuse to receive tes-
timony of this sort. since they have
already allowed Weber to testify
that there was no intimidation in
East and West Feliciana. Mr.. Sner-
man, however, can only make his
point it is useless to expect that
Potter and his allies will yield to the
demands of justice or common de-
ceney. The purpose of the majority
of the COMMITTEES is to take testimo-
ny only on one side. A witness who
swears that there was no intimida-
tion is heard with complacency. A
witness who is ready to swear that
there was intimidation is hustled out
of the committee-room. Secretary
Sherman does not consider that the
case is closed so far as he is concern
ed. 1t remains to be seen whether
his nccusers will consent to the ex-
animation of the witnesses whom he
asks may be called in his behalf.

There are good reasons to hope that a
Republican will represent Mr.. Speaker
Randall's district in the next Congress.
The official organ of the Democratic party,
the Washington Daily Post, lends help
ing hand in the good work, as follows:
As Speaker Randall would not recede
from his opposition to the Brazilian line Of
mail steamships, the bill has failed for this
session, at least. The loss of $4,000, 900
OF foreign trade during the approaching fall
and winter can therefore be attributed to
Mr.. Samuel J. Randall.
