Tho Election.

Tho Election.
We have thought it would be more acceptable
to our readers to give as much of the result of
last Tues lays election throughout the State
than any lengthy remarks of our own upon
what has been done, even in on. own county,
and the lesson taught by the action OF the pseu-
do democratic candidates opposed TO us, i'll pro-
claiming themselves no candidates, but telling
the radicals they would serve them if elected
1t is lesson of more Importance to the party
and State than may at first appear.
The election was peaccable throughout the
county. We have only heard Of one fight, and
that was solely upon personal grounds, and be
tween white men.
A noteabe feature at every box was the sui
len stubornness of the negroes. They had ev-
idently been we'll drilled. They would not talk
or even drink with democrat until after they
had voted. Many of them who had voted with
us before, voted soidly against us last Tuesday.
They had been imposed upon in some way, but
by whom it is pretty well known, and they will
be made TO feel it hereafter.

the suggestion that some day in the not remote

to take the elective franchise from tho coored
people Honest Republicans in Congress or ou'
Of it never made any secret of the fact that the
real object of the party in comforting negro SUI,
fragc was to strengthen and perpetuate its holo
uporthe government. In this the Republicans
have been wofully disappointed. The practicai
result of their efforts has been to give to their
opponents thirty-fve additional votes in the
electoral colleges and in tho House of Ropresen-
tatives The deliberate manufacture OF whole
sale calumnies upon the South in this nnd In
former campaigns aannot make solid North
although it las been carried on i'll that hope
Tie next move, therefore, of the discounted
Republicans will be to take away the boon which
they conferred upon the negro. By advices re
ceived here to-day from South Carolina, 1t Is
learned that CIV. Hampton, in late speech,
pf6ttGmSd' Nc '6Sa been approached by promi-
nont Republicans, among them brother-in- law
of u Cabinet officer, with propositions to deprive
the negro of his vote. Such propositions were
of course Indignantly rejected by Gov. liamp
ten. IF Gov. Hampton consistently can do So
he ought 10 give the names of these Republicans
to the pubic.-B Baltimore Sun.

a Worthy TRlnrrE.-We venture to print
The following private letter from Judge Aldrich
to the cIitor of the Register, in which most
fitting and deser' tribute is paid to the heroic
sacrifice of Lieutenant Bcnner 10y ono of the
truest men in Carolina. Our readers will sane
tiun every word that is written, and il will be
gratifying to receive more substantial token of
their sympathy for the family OF the gallant sol
dier, who pcrilcd all in the cause of humanity,
and leIt behind him the tender love of wife and
little ones, in order that he might be instrument
tai in furnishing relief to famishing thousands.
The letter of Judge Aldrich is as follows:
WINNspoRo, $. c., November.1, 1878.
Ny DEAR SiR If all persons in the State
who can spare dollar, or even ten cents, will
contribute to the fund for the support of the
wife and the education of tho children Of the
heroic Lieutenant Bcnner, ii will be graceful
| tribute to the memory of a man WHO was gallant
| in war, true in peace, and instantly recognized
| the fraternity of the whole people when the
battle was done.
j have been holding the courts in the dirtricts
| where Lieutenant Bonner wa, stationed since

And SO he died for u.s. Oh what rcproach is
this to all the bal blood that has been stirred
up by mere venal politicians for personal ad-
