HOW HE LOVES US!
Henry Ward Beecher's Latest Abuse
the South.

Henry Ward Beecher's Latest Abuse OF
the South.
This is what that sanctimonious old
bypocritc, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
said in his political harangue at the
Cooper Institute, New York, on Tuesday
last:
Gentlemen, the sword may slay, but it
cannot convince, and Southern men are
lust as much besotted with State sovereign
ty to cay as they were before the war. The
Southern mind is unchanged on this SUBJ
iect. Will you stand up to the doctrine
YOU yiudicated with your swords? The
doctrines of Calhoun are taught in every
principal seminary of the South, just as
wher Lee led on the rebel hosts. Now
they have taken to themselves the REM
nants of the Democratic party. IF they get
possession of the country we will have to
stand Democratic doctrines. They will
never prevail. though they may have q
victory to-day or tomorrow. There will
never be peace on this continent until
peace is founded on right principles. If
the Democratic party, with the South, goes
into the possession of the government we
will f.. upon the verge of further troubles.
Republican principles must be the heart
and soul of this country in the future, as
they have been for the last twenty years.
The South for fifty years administered the
institutions of this country, and must say
she administered them pretty badly. For
more than fifteen years before the war her
councils were series of blunders. Just
now the South seems determined to make
one more great blunder. She drew ffsul-
lenly after the war and refused the right
hand of Republican friendship. Not one
State in all the South would take the prof
fered hand of President Hayes. [Chcers.l
That vas q gigantic blunder. If she had
been willing to accept the situation there
would have been no difficulty to-day.
But they went with the Democratic party
these two defeated fanatics clst their
fortunes together. And we. as one great
determined State, are resolved that they
shall lot deprive lis now of that which We
fought for and won. We will fight it cut
on this line if it takes twenty ivesummers.
[Applause:] You cannot inocculate this
country with the virus of State sovereignty
that sucked ut the black bosom of Slavery.
IChecrs.l You cannot do it.

The County Treasurer Of Hampton
Robbed.

On Thursday night, the 7th inst, Major
w. J. Gooding, our County Treasurer,
was the victim of bold robbery, under
the following circumstances:
Upon reaching the home of Mr.. Charles
Terry, at Gillisonville, on the night
above mentioned, Major Gooding and his
assistant, W. r. Hammond, Esq, put
up for the night. The valise, containing
funds to the amount of $4,000 and valu-
able County papers, besides clothing,
etc., was placed under the bed in the
room which the treasurer had occupied
on several occasions previous. While
Major Gooding, Mr.. Hammond and the
family were at supper thieves entered
through q back window and made Oft
with their booty. AS soon rs tho loss
was discovered immediate steps were
taken to catch the thieves and recover
the treasure, but the night being dark
and the rain falling steadily, nothing
could be accomplished beyond examin-
ing and tracing the tracks of two persons
to cane-brake or swamp not far distant
from the house by tho aid OF lanterns.
One track was that of a bare foot and the
other apparently that OF a No. shoe, as
we'll as could be discerncd in the heavy
falling rain, which footprints were
doubtless boing rapidly obliterated.
Skilled detectives were summoned as
soon as practicable, and it is thought the
robbers will ere long be in the hands OF
the law. Suspicion points to certain par
ties, but :. is thought best to ventilate tho
subject no further at present.
It is hardly necessary to say that
neither the State nor tho County nor the
sureties of Major Gooding will lose any
thing, as he has made arrangements by
which, as he states in his card, "every
dollar will be reported and paid out as
usual" The sympathies Of every citizen
of Hampton County are with Major
Gooding in his misfortune, and his self
sacrificing course demands respect and
admiration. During the years of his
public service, as we'll as in the affairs of
private life, his record has been bright
and clear, and this loss commands our
hcartiest sympathy.-IIampton Guardian.

In Address to the Indiana Democracy.

INDIANAPOLIS, October 10.
The Democratic Executive Committee
have issued the following address:
To the Democratic and Independent Voters
The result of the election last Tuesday
is q deep disappointment to us all. The
extent of the success which the Republi-
can party has achieved in this State is as
much surprise to the Republicans as it
ia to the Democrats, and proves that the
majority of the Republican party were
as ignorant Of the means which their cor
rupt leaders were employing as we were.
The temporary loss of our State is
calamity which time will enable US to
retrieve, but the injury which our free
institutions will sustain resulting from
the frauds and corruption practiced by
Republican leaders to secure their trl-
umph is incalculable: The causes
which enabled the Republican party to
succeed in the election are now plain.
They were the partial success of their
scheme to Africanize our State for politi-
cal purposes, the corrupt use Of money
for the purpose of obtaining votes, the
importation and use of repeaters pro.
tected by deputy marsha!s, and the aid
derived by them from the use Of the
Federal machinery of election under
pretense of supervising the election of
members Of Congress. =,
In the Presidential election we will
not have to encounter these forces to the
same extent as in our State election.
The corruption fund will have to be
divided among many States. Their re-
peaters will be all at home, and those
who were discharged from arrest by
deputy marshals on straw bail will not
be likely to make their appearance IN
in our State soon again. We shall nave no
Federal marshals or Federal machinery
to contend against. We arc thoroughly
united in our counsels; whatever our
adversaries may say to the contrary Is
untrue We therefore call upon you not
to relax any of your efforts. Put some
new life and energy into your County
and township organizations, and take an
measures in your power to bring out
your full strength to the polls. The same
vote polled by us in October if polled IN
November will secure to US the state.
The average majority against us at the
late election will not exceed 4,OG0, ana
may fall below that figure. This major
ty can and, in our opinion, will DO over
come in the Presidential election. A
change of three voters in each precinct
will accomplish it. Remember you have
a leader in this contest who never sounds
a retreat, and he commands an army
that, never surrenders.

Terrific Explosion in Distillery.

CHICAGO, October 16.
A terrible explosion occurred last
evening at the Garden City Distillery
Company's works. An experiment was
being tried of new stear1ing process.
Corn was put whole into mammoth
kettle sixteen feet high and steamed.
Then strong pressure Of steam was ap-
piled to force it through pipes into the
mash tub. The pipo became checked
up, stopping the passage of the swollen
corn and instantly increasing tho pres
sure in the kettle. A terrific explosion
followed, blowing the roof of the builG-
ing clear off and killing outright or bu-
rying beneath the falling timbers, scald-
ing corn and debris, ten mon and one
woman who happened to be in that part
of the distillery. Three of those whose
bodies have been recovered were killed
outright; four are still buried in the ruins.
Geo. Schwaffer has been taken out fatal
ly injured about the head; three others
are badly injured.

TO the Democrats Of the Union.

Committee have issued the following ad-

The Democratic National Executive
Committee have issued the following ao-
dress:
To the Democratic and Conscrratire FOters
ofthe Country:
The election of President and Vice
President is now before you. State anu
local dissensions are eliminated from the
issues of the day. The magnitude of
victory or defeat can only be estimated
by the force and means employed in Sc
curing it. By fraud and corruption the
people of the country wore defeated in
their purpose in 1876, and the rightfully
elected President was kept from Office.
With the combined capital of the Repub.
lican party, aided by repeated assess
ments upon the army Of of1iceholders,
with the power of the Federal govern
ment represented 10y United States mar
shals at the polls, with intimidation,
fraud and resort to every corrupt appli-
ance known to Republican methods con-
centrated in two States. our adversaries
have succeeded in procuring the proba-
BILE return of their local candidates. Can
it be possible that in every state through
out this broad land the same methods
can be brought to bear that were used by
the Republican managers in Indiana and
Ohio? Can the great States Of New Y FORK,
New Jersey, Connecticut, California,
Colorado. Nevada and New Hampshire
be bought, intimidated and detrauded?
Even without the vote of Indiana, which
we believe will be redeemed in Novem-
Der, with New York and New jersey and
the States that are conceded to us, in
Guiding Maine, the election Of our candi-
date is assured.
The Republican party have put in
nomination for President and Vice Pres.
ident two men who, by the admission of
their own party and press, arc unworthy
of your confidence and your suffrages.
It is impossible that fifty millions Of
intelligent and patriotic people will con-
sent to place themselves upon the hu-
initiating level thus prepared for them by
the Republican managers.
Fellows citizens, the first days repulse
at Gettysburg ended on the Sd, with
Hancock in the front in glorious victory.
Tho victory secured us our Union. The
question is not the preservation OF the
Union, but of constitutional government.
Hancock is now, as then, in front. The
repulse is now, as then, an omen OF VIC
tory, which will secure to coming gener-
atoms the inestimable blessings Of civil
liberty.
By order of the National Democratic
Committee.
WIN. II. BARSuM, Chairman.

OHIO AND INDIANA.

The October elections are over, and
they have gone strongly against tho
Democrats. It is disappointment to
many, but the close observer for months
past has seen the evidence of shrewd,
cunning and skillful Republican work
in Ohio and Indiana, which must have
made him, however strongly he desired
i5 otherwise, dread Republican victory
in these States in October. The Demo-
Gratis have as usual made good fight in
each of these States, but the Republicans
have carried them, and the causes arc
very easily noted. Tho Republicans
have conducted an aggressive campaign,
while the Democrats have plodded along
trying to avoid wounding any PERSONS
feelings, and therefore fearing to please
any person particularly. The Demo-
Gratis in Indiana made very unfortu-
nate nomination for Governor, Landers,
their candidate, being toe much of a
Greenbacker for the hard money men,
and not quite Greenbacker enough for
the real Greenbackers. he is weak
man, poor debater, and even unpopu-
lar in his owu party Then, Mr.. Eng
lish is also unpopular in many portions
of Indiana, so that his presence is load
instead of an advantage to the ticket.
On the other hand the Republicans se'
lected a strong, popular and unobjection-
able man for Governor. They prated
over tho "solid South" and foated the
"bloody shirt" until they obtained all of
the benefits it could confer, and then
dropping it at the last moment they
seized upon the tariff issue and by hold
ing up the dangers of free trade to the
large Western manufacturing and min
ing interests they made votes upon it.
To cap the whole work, they voted
crowds of negroes ard spent quantities
of money.
The result places the Presidential olec-
ton in doubt. If Indiana votes differ
emily in November there will be no trou-
BILE in electing Hancock, while if it votes
for Garfield the vote will still be very
close, with chances slightly fayoring
Hancock. There is no cause for discour-
agement in these elections. 1t is simply
an extra iuducement to close ranks and
90 to work. The next two weeks will
probably change the whole result.

The Radicals Rejoicing.

The address issued by the National
Republican Committee on the 18th inst.
ongratulates the people of Indiana and
Ohio, and the Republican party all over
the country upon the success of tho par
ty in Indiana and Ohio, and also upon
the bright prospects of victory of the
national ticket in November. At the
same time it improsses upon the people
everywhere the Importance of not relax
ing their efforts in the least, but of press
ing their opponents, while they are suf.
fering from their recent defeat, and max
ing their victory next month doubly
sure. It adds that if every Republican
will 60 earnestly to work, Garfield and
Arthur will receive the electoral vote Of
every Northern State.

whole Court.

- Gen. Hancock seemed anything but
discouraged by the defeats In Indiana
and Ohio, and attended his usual
routine round Of duties with undis-
turbed countenance and in good spirits.
In response to a question whether he
thought that the Republican victory in
the State election in Indiana was any good
reason for believing that the State would
90 Republican in the Presidential cleo
ton, "No reason at all, was the emphat-
ic reply. "There were local issues at
stake in Indiana which would have no
effect in national political contest"

Because you have nominated a County
ticket for the Anderson Democracy, do
not feel that you have discharged your
duty to yourself or your State. 1t is inn
portant to have the County ticket elected,
but even that is q matter of very little
Importance compared with the success Of
our. Electoral and State ticket. 1t would
'bo better for our whole County ticket to be
beaten than for single nominee on our
Electoral or State or Congressional ticket
to be left ont. It is. therefore, of the ut
termost Importance for every citizen to
vote and to vote the whole ticket straight.
