The Ohio Canvass.

Col. James r. Randall, of the Augusta
Chronicle tna Ctastitrti1nGlist, writing
from Washington. says Of the guberna-
torial contest which has iiow been fairly
laiinched:
The nomination of Ewing and Rice in
Ohio by the Democracy is received here
with rapture among the true believers.
/ had hoped all along for the success of
this ticket; and only ftdred it would be
partially adopted, because assurances
were given by the knowing ones" that
neither gentleman would take the second
place. 1t is glorious ticket, and if we
cannot win with such nominees the game
is up in tie Buckeye State, at least. You
may remember that when old "Bill"
Allen ran ON the same line his defeat
was charged to the Vaccinations and
money of Mr.. Tilden and the Eastern
bondholding Democracy: 1t Is to be
trusted that no such agencies will be put
in motion this time, but fear they will
be. The triumphant election of Thomas
Ewing would make him a formidable can
didate for the Presidency, and this is not
what the artful New Yorker anxiously
yearns for or eagerly desires. But if, by
any chance, Ewing should be vanished
by any contrivance of Mr.. Tilden, the
proof of such treachery ought to dig the
political grave of the man who practiced
it. Gen. Ewing is one of the noblest of
mankind. He Is deduced from d sturdy
Revolutionary stock and has inherited
the virtues and intellect of his celebrated
father. He is one to be loved as we'll as
admired, for he is as gentle as he is brave
and tender as he is upright. There is no
taint upon him physically, mentally or
spiritually, and no individual is more
worthy to stand forth as the champion of
great party in a great cause. The peo-
Pile have in him tribune whom they can
trust and follow, and if such man be
basely struck down by any marplot in
his own party, no punishment to sinister
ambition can be too severe. Gen. Rice
is a gallant soldier. His wounds attest
his courage. He is very popular and
quite the equal of Foster as a speaker.
He is also the author of the bill giving
arrearages of pensions to the volunteers
of the Federal armies. His personal
character is above reproach and his re-
cord unassailable. There can be no
bloody shirt campaign in Ohio. Foster
was a civilian and is an honest man,
The chances are that the contest will be
purely intellectual and that grand issues
will be fought out fairly and squarely'
What a wonderful State is Ohio! What
an array of remarkable men she has in
all ranks of lifel How conspicuously
she shines every where in comparison
with other States She is indeed the
Young Giant of the West, and from her
confines will probably come the next
President of the United States, be he
| Democrat or Republican.

said: "I do not propose to be a candi-
date for Vice President with any one,
and have declared this publicly; and, so
far as l am concerned, the old ticket Will
not be in the field" This is bad news
for Tilden, as it necessitates placing his
claim for denomination on some other
ground than the sentiment of running
the old ticket over again. AS it will be
little difficult for his friends to show
the party any other good reason for his
denomination, he may fairly be said to
have received q severe bark-set in the
race, if Mr.. Hendricks does not recon-
slider his determination to stand aside
from the old ticket. While, however, it
disposes of Mr.. Tilden, it also disposes Of
Mr.. Hendricks, FOR the New Workers in
Auehce will be sufficient TO defeat the
Indiana aspirant, even if he cannot get
the nomination himself This news
therefore may be considered favorable to
Bayard, Thurman or some of the other
candidates.

We are satisfied that Senator Hamp-
toms expressions of gratitude to Mr..
Hayes for removing the troops from the
State House in South Carolina, are not
entertained by the people of the State
for two reasons: First, because we be.
lieve Mr. Hayes promised to remove
them in order to prevent Southern Con-
gressmen from filibustering, and thereby
defeating his Inauguration as President.
He was, therefore, but fulfilling a con-
tract for which he had already been
more than paid. In the second place,
we do not thank him, because he was
compelled to remove them in order to
get the Democratic House of Represen-
tatives to make the necessary appropria-
tions to support the army. We are,
therefore, under obligations to the Dem
ocratic House of Representatives, and
not to the Republican President, for our
deliverance. We think it is mistake
to deceive the country by holding mp
Mr.. Hayes for commendation for doing
what the Democracy had to force him to
do in this respect.

Il is stated in Charleston that while
Ex-Governor Chamberlain was in that
city recently, large number of colored
men met one evening and sent a COM
m ittee to invite their former leader to
address them upon the topics OF interest
before the country at this time. Mr..
Chamberlain, however, declined to do so,
and during his whole stay in this State
was very cool to those with whom he had
been very intimate as long as he could
make anything out of them. Thus our
colored people in South Carolina see that
the white people told them the truth
when they said that Mr.. Chamberlain
and men like him only wanted their
votes, but did not care for their race.
The Radical leaders only care for the
colored man when they can use him to
promote their selfish and corrupt pur-
pose. AS soon as they are not seeking
the negro's vote, like Mr.. Chamberlain
they have no further use for him.

The Boston Herald, on the authority
of what it calls interested witnesses, says
that the State of South Carolina is as
certain to go Republican in the next
election as Massachusetts, or Iowa. If
this be true, the Republican party is in a
deplorable condition, for it will assured
ly lose all three of the States. South
Carolina is to-day 6 Democratic State,
and will as certainly be the same way
next time as Delaware or Georgia. The
Herald also has discovered that an ar
rangement has been entered into by
which the vote of the State is to be
given to the Republicans for President,
and they are to have three Congressman,
while the Democrats will get the State
officers and two Congressman. The
figures of the Herald are little incor-
rect, as the arrangement, if there is any at
all, is something as follows: The Dem
ocrats will have seven electoral votes for
President, five Congressman, all the
State officers, nine-tenths of the Legis-
lature, eight Solicitors, and nine-tenths
of the County officers. The Republi-
cans are to have the balance in this
State.

Homicide In Rock Hill.

A correspondent of the Yorkvile En-
g,iiret Writing from Rock Hill under date
of June I'd, gives the following particu-
lars concerning a homicide at that place
on the morning of the I'd inst:
This morning, between the hours of II
and ~ o'clock, Mr.. G. l.. Williford was
sitting in a chair, leaning back against
the store house Of j. NJ. Howe & Co.,
talking to Mr.. Goodman, a clerk in the
house. While Williford was sitting in
this position, James P. CASTOR, whose
store is next door to ]. NJ. Howe G. Co.,
came to his door with his pistol in his
hand, cooked and fred at Williford,
while Williford was sitting in the chair.
CASTOR fired but one shot. Williford i'm
mediately reeled and staggered into the
house OF Howe & Co., exclaiming, II am
shotw
DR.. J. w. Fewell was called as soon as
possible. When the Doctor came he saw
at once that Williford was dying. The
pistol ball entered the thigh about 8 or
4 inches below the hip-bone, and ranged
upward, cutting the large artery, entering
the intestines and continuing upward.
No words had passed this morning be-
tween CASTOR and Williford. There was
an alteration at picnic on Thursday,
which, no doubt, with what CASTOR had
heard to-day, led to the shooting.
CASTOR is one of the most quiet, peace
able young men in our town, being strict
ly temperate, and indulging in no vicious
practices.
Williford lived ten or fifteen minutes
after being shot. Either the scvering of
the artery or the cutting of the intcstines
was certain death. At the time of re-
ceiving his death-wound, he was evident,
ly leaning far back, with one leg crossed
on the other.
CASTOR Immediately surrendered him
self. An inquest was held, and the ver-
dict was in accordance with the foregoing
facts.

A bill has been introduced in Congress
to limit interest to FIVE per cent, and
then to tax notes and mortgages, which
would be as near prohibition to lend
ing money as could well be devised.
We have always favored usury law,
and think sound policy would dictate
the passage of such law by Congress.
1t ought, however, to be considerate and
framed on experience, which would
place the maximum rate at seven per
cent, and allow competition to reduce it
below that sum if it would do so. No
tax should be imposed upon notes and
mortgages, because the money lender
would always make the borrower pay
these taxes in addition to the rate of in
teress A usury law at seven per cent,
with an income tax ON all over two
thousand dollars per annum, might be a
wise law for Congress to enact but it
would hardly do to pass the over-zealous
bill now proposed.

The Democratic party has displayed
much sagacity in shaping the Ohio can
vass, and although the Republicans have
perhaps nominated the strongest possible
ticket for them, the nominations of the
Democracy are such as to awaken the
united support and enthusiasm in all
sections of the State, and will in addi-
ton, it is believed, disintegrate con-
siderable portion of the Republican
party. The issues before the country are
fairly presented in the Ohio canvass.
The Republicans advocate hard money
and strong government, to be controlled
by the present infamous election ma
chinery, while the Democrats favor the
silver dollar and modification of the
election and judicial machinery of the
government to make it consistent with
free government. The State Of Ohio is
about evenly divided, and the result is
likely to prove an index to the effect of
the Democratic policy upon the voters of
the United States. The party which
succeeds in Ohio will have the best
chance for the Presidency in 1880, and
hence all eyes will turn to the canvass in
that State and watch its varying pros
poets with the most unbounded interest.

SAD SUIcIDE.-We regret to learn that
on Monday night last Mr. VIM. J. Rainey,
a very worthy and respected citizen liv'
ing nea- Blairsville, in this county, COM
mitted suicide by hanging himself with
a rope in his gin house. He was discov-
cred about 10 o'clock and soon after
committing the deed, but not until life
was extinct. Mr.. Rainey was aged about
65 years, and for the past year had been
laboring under intense suffering from a
neuralgic affection, and it is supposed he
committed the rash act while under tenn
orary alteration of the mind, superin-
duccd by his sickness. Mr.. Rainey was
an Industrious, enterprising citizen, a
merchant, the proprietor of a steam mill,
to which was attached cotton gin and
other machinery, and he ever possessed
the confidence and esteem of all who
knew him. YorkviNe Enquirer June 5.

A NEGRO RIOT IN GEoRGIA.-A ter
rible riot took place on Monday, June g.,
at Mcintosh, Liberty County, a station
on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, be-
tween party of negro excursionists from
Bryan County and those belonging to the
place. 1t began in fight between two
negroes, whereupon John Randall, the
captain of negro militia company from
Bryan County, which company made a
part of the excursionists, ordered his
company to charge, which they did, bay
oneting everybody within reach. The
captain himself killed one man by rum
ming him through with his sword. There
was intense excitement at this outrage,
and the Liberty County negroes rallied
and drove the military company into the
cars, and opened fire on them, killing
four and wounding many more, and only
stopped shooting when the train got out
of the way, which they tried to prevent
by tearing up the track. All the parties
engaged were negroes.

make an official announcement, was
promptly knocked down.
- The Louisville Couricr-Jomnal says
that while in Brooklyn recently, Gov.
Colquitt, of Georgia, consented one after
noon to preach in Beecher's pulpit. The
Governor, it appears, did not take into
consideration that his appearance in the
pulpit would be deemed recognition OF
Henry Ward Beecher, and might make
the South little hotter for him on his
return home, so that, after thinking over
the matter for twenty-four hours, he
backed out.

mind about the military"
