The Election.

To-day Cluesday) the election is
in progress. Before the HERALD
reaches it's readers the great elec-
ton of 1880 will be over the most
important election, in many re.
spects, that this country has ever
experienced. It is contest be
tween the people AMI the office
holders. If carried by the Demo-
cratic party it will be a grand tri-
umph of the popular will over cor
ruption, the money power, the
abuse of official patronage and Sec
tional hate. The Democratic party
is the party OF the people. It out
numbers the dominant party by
over quarter of million Of vo-
ters; leaving out Of consideration
the negro vote of 100000, which is
almost solidly Republican, its popu-
lar majority is upwards of three
millions. With anything like fair
election tie Democrats would carry
it overwhelmingly; but the election
is not fair. It is known that Indi
ana was carried in October by the
Republicans by shipping Thousands
OF negroes into that State to vote;
that Ohio's large majority is due to
the same cause, and that that party
expects to carry Florida today in
the same way.
At this time the prospects for
Hancock are not encouraging,
though far from hopeless. The
election to-day may prove as great
a surprise as the Indiana election.
At any rate We will still hope to the
last.
The electoral ticket in this State
will, we think, go for Hancock, but
will be close.
As to the State ticket the Dem
ocracy is safe.
Our Democratic County ticket
is also safe.

Here is description of "Rev." W.
W. Hicks, as he appeared at Cooper
Institute Monday night:
Mr.. Hicks managed to work him
self into a state of phenomenal excite
uent. He jumped up and down on
the platform, wriggled his body into
shapes a professional! contortlonist
might have endeavored in vain to en-
ulate, grew so red in the face that his
hearers feared-or hoped-he would
burst a blood vessel, and reduced his
handkerchief to the condition of dish
rag with frequent wipings of perspira
ton from his face. According to him
the election of Hancock will be the pre-
lude to an attempt to reduce the ne
groes to slavery. Democrats were
warned that the attempt would be re-
sisted and terrible revolution will be
the result.
Mr.. Hicks should republish at the
North his eulogy of Gen. Robert E
Lee, delivered in the South, at various
places when he was masquerading as
preacher.

South Carolina congressman.

South Carolina has renominated her
Representatives of the present term
for the 47th Congress. This was a
wise movement. Her delegation is
a strong one, and will be more useful
in the future than in the past, because
of experience in public life at Wash
iugtor, and the hi gh character won
there. Hon. NJ. P. O'Connor has
few superiors at the Federal Capital,
as lawyer and orator. H is also
exceedingly popular in social circles
of the best sort. He stands amoug
the foremost men in the Hall. Mr..
Aiken is, like Mr.. Evlns, thorough
ly practical man. Both have much
influence with the agricultural aud
commercial elements on both sides of
the party line. True as steel to the
South, they do not deal in abstrac-
tions, but. while holding sasr to prin-
ciple, have careful regard for what is
South Carolina's best interest. Mr..
Richardson occupies an enviable posi-
ton, politically and socially. lie is
very popular, inside and outside the
Ca pital. He, too, is thorouShgoiog
representative of moderp progress,
while dearly adherlug to the cardinal
basis of the Republic of Jefferson and
Washington. Hon. George D. TIL

men in the House He is never 40.
sent from his post aud never lodges
an issue or vote. Though forcible
and profound speaker, he has wisely
kept hiurself aloof from conspicuous
debate, but will be heard from in the
time to come. His speech on the
Eight Hour Law, at the close of the
last session, was a masterly one. His
life at the Capital is wholly given to
public duties. No man in the Rep
resentative Hall is more respected for
talent aud worth.
South Carolina has reason to be
proud of her delegation and no effort
should be spared to return it unbroken
to the Forty-Seventh Congress.

Editors Chronicle and Constitution.
olist :
This venerable divine died at Bal
timore on last Friday, 22d inst, at
800, a. H., having been unconscious
for 80 hours before his death. His
remains were inferred at Richmond,
Va, on last Lords Day, amidst one
of the largest assemblies that ever
met in that city to attend a funeral.
Dr.. Irvine, of this city, got this init
nation from the family too late to
meet the sacred remains at Richmond.
DR.. Plumer was a magnificent man,
physically intellectually and morally.
It is no extravagaut compliment to
his memory to say that no divine in
America has written as many books,
treatises and tracts, preached as many
sermons and delivered as many lee.
lures during the last 56 years. If his
writings were compiled and COM
pressed into a uniform series. they
would exceed in bulk John Calvin's
fftvfou volumes royal octavo. His
Truths For The People" has been
translated into modern Greek, and is
now being read in the Agora where
Homer sang and Demosthenes tbun-
dered and the Epicurian and Stole
sneered at Paul, calling him babbler.
Two of his tracts are now translated
into Spanish and his book on THE
Rock of Our Salvation" has been
translated into the Chinese and is be-
ing circulated all over the empire of
the sun.
DR.. Plumer preached for the last
time in the Presbyterian Church of this
city on the 25th Of January, 1880, a
sermon which he had preached %
years before in Richmond, Va, on
sINLEss PERFECTION.
Some person not quite so old, but
much wiser (in his own esteem) than
DR.. Plumer, wrote the venerable d.
vine in reference to his sermon. 10 a
letter dated Columbia, January 20,
1880, and addressed to clergyman
of this city, DR.. Plumer says:
Il greatly pity any child of Adam,
who knows so little of the extent and
spirituality of Gods law, and is so ;g-
norant of the treachery and corrup-
ton of his own heart as to imagine
that he lives day without SHINING

FOR THE HERALD.
Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. c.,

There is still, among General Gar
fields friends here, great doubt as to
whether or cot he wrote the now Gel
ebrated ;.Chinese letter." I believe
he wrote il. The counterfeiting of a
mans handwriting is comparatively
easy, but the combination Of talent
which enables one at once to produce
so correctly the handwriting and the
sentiments of public man, is, to say
the least, rare gift. Probably Gen
eral Garfield wrote the letter. He
has denied it, but he was writing
many letters each day at the time this
was written, and he may have for
gotten this one. Or-I would not Say
it,i the New York Tribune and Times
of 1872 and 1878 bad not first made
the charge-he may lie. So far as
the authenticity of the letter is sought
to be disproved ~ evidence form the
Postmaster of this city, | can per-
sonally assure your readers that the
evidence is not worth the paper on
which it is written. The Washing
ton Postmaster has simply shown his
own ignorance of the business of his
Office. So fac IS any statement Of his
is concerned, the question as to the
genuineness of the letter is not affect
ed. He stated that the kind of
stamps used i'll the envelope of the
| Garfield Chinese letter was not in use
in the Washington Post Office when
the letter purports to have been mailed
here. But it was. There ere dozens
of envelopes at hand here showing
that 1t was. AS to the proofs of gen
uiueness elsewhere, your readers can
judge as well at [. The Generals
| friends here as said above are in doubt.
Of the fact that Chairman Jewell,
of the Republican National Com
.nittee, was caught in his attempt to
colonize Republican voters in Florida,
however, there is no doubt. The at
tempt is simply significant. It shows,
first, q belief that Florida's three
votes will be necessary to Garfeld's
| election, and, second, that Chairman
Jewell has no hope Of New York's
thirty-fve electoral votes. If he had
any hope of carrying New York he
| would not send away voters on such
| scheme as that developed in the Flori-
ds business.
The Democracy Of this city was
never in better spirits. The reports
coming to the local Committees here,
aud to the headquarters of the Demo
cratic Congressional Committee, are
in the highest degree encouraging.
The Indiana Democrats, especially,
write as if success was already assur-
ed. Uncommonly encouraging prom
ises come from Maiue and New Hamp-
shire. In the latter State, especially,
quiet work is being done which must
tell. The candidate for Governor,
Ex-Congressman Frank Jones, is q
| man who seldom boasts, but he PROM
ises the State to Hancock by "a reas-
enable majority,.' Governor elect
Plainsted is not as sure of the result
in Maine, where the contest is not a
square one between the two principal
parties, but he believes the Republi-
can electoral ticket will be beaten.
