Some Fun in Prosnect.

The Sunday Ne,os has telegram from New
York, dated on Saturday, which says: At a
meeting of the Republican National Commit
tee yesterday Same Lee gave n picturesque
account Of the political situation in South
Carolina, asserting that Hapcock's letter on
rebel claims has disgusted the Democrats and
disposes them to help the Republicans in ex-
change for the support Of their local Demo-
cratic tickets. The Independents, he SAYS,
are courting the negro vote, aud are determ-
ined that there shall be no intimidation and a
fair count. Lee declared that all the bull
doing in South Carolina is at an end, in =
structions having been issued against violence,
and that not n disturbance has yet been heard
of through the State lie believed, he said,
that if Northern speakers Of prominence were
sent to South Carolina the Republicans could
elect their Congressman in the First, Second
and Fifth Districts ut least, and that the Ma
tional Republican majority hcng 25 ,0O0 and
with the protection afforded by the position
of the Democrats, the State may be secured
Garfield.
The Republican committee Mt night determ-
ined TO devote attention 10 the districts named
by Lee, ami the doubtful districts in Virginia,
North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee
and Mississippi. Secretary Sherman hns
agreed to put in some work in Virginia and
the Carolinas, anu Carl ochurz likewise has
offered his services in the same field.

Stealing Florida Again.

NEW York, October 21.-The great sensn.
tion Of to day is the discovery and pubica.
ton of two dispatches sent by Marshall Jew
ell to Florida, in which he announces that he
has sent $50 repeaters to Florida. The fol.
lowing is the official address of the National
Democratic Committee upon this audacious
attempt at debauching the ballot box in
florida:
''To the Public:-When this CAMPAIGN
opened the National Democratic Committee
contracted with the American Union and
Western Union Telegraph Companies for spe
cial rates for their business, and arran ged
with said companies that all kilograms cent
tssreoeived by the committee Should be re-
turned at the end Of each week to the cashier
of the committees as vouchers for the bills
rendered. kilograms so sent or received bv
our committee have been returned under this
arrangement weekly, and paid for according
to the contract. ban 49,.
On Wednesday, October 20, the Western
Union Telegraph Company re turned to the
Committee vouchers as usual for the second
week ia October. Upon their being examined
by our cashier to verify the amount the toln

Stolbrand's Record.

= Stolbrand, the candidate for Congress on
the Radical ticket in this District against Col.
Al ken, is a carpet bnggar, and came to South
Carolina with that horde of Infamous scoun-
drels who SO numerically plundered us for
eight years, 0nd seems to have been no bet
ter than the rest Of them. The following is
mn extract from the Investigating Commit
tees report, concerning stolbrand's crooked
ness while he was Superint endent of the Pen.
itentiary:
&C. J. Stolbrand, Northern man, sue
ceeded Major Lee in January, 1869, through
the appointment of Gov. Scott, and with his
term of Office commenced series of frauds,
perverson of the funds of the institution and
embezzlements. One transaction was the
hypothecation Of $50, 900 of the warrants on
the Trearury with Gov. Scott for n loan OF
$l5, 600. Scott sold and used the whole
amount, and thus caused the less to the State
| of at least $4,000 if Stolbrand is to be be-
| lieved Next his transaction with Hardy
| Solomon. The sale Of certain wooden ma
| chinery by Solomon to Gen. Stolbrand for the
use Of the Penitentiary charged at Sd, 900;
discount allowed Stolbrand of 81 ,096 .55, re-
ducing the price TO $2,9C335, charged to the
institution at Sc, ,480, thus showing a fraudu-
lent, profit to StOlbrand of $3,576 65. And
this machinery was worthless and never used.
Again, the account of Hardy Solomon against
the institution for supplies in given period
amount to $42,048.5 55. Gen. Stolbrand's re-
ports covering the same period shows credit
on this account in the sum Of $75, 170.75,-
of which large discrepancy Stolbrand has
given no xplanHtion-indeed, he was not
able to produce any accounts or vouchers
relating thereto"

Hancock on the Tariff.

pay of $the public debt, but the Ileoessiv of
raising money for the administration Of the
government will continue as long MS human
nature lasts. All parties agree that the best
way for ne TO raise revenue is largely by the

An Able and Patriotic Address;.

The Democratic National Executive Com-
mittee met in New, York on the 18th instant.
The situation Of the canvass was discussed in
uetail and the following address adopted:
10 me Democratic and Conservative Voters of
the Country:
The election of President and Vice Presi-
dent is now before you. State and local dis
sensions are eliminated from the issues OF the
day. The magnitude Of victory or a defeat
can only be estimated by the forces and m means
employed in securing it by fraud and corrup-
ton The people of the country were defeat
ed in their purpose in 1875, and the rightfully
elected President Was kept from Office. With
the combined capital of the Republican party,
aided by repeated assessments upon an army
OF office holders; with the power Of the FEEDER
oil Government, represented by United States
marshals at the polls; with intimidation, fraud
and resort to every corrupt appliance known
to Republican methods, concentrated in two
States, our adversaries have succeededed in
procuring probable return Of their local can
| didates Can il be possible that in every
| State throughout this broad land the same
methods can be brought to bear that were used
| by Republican managers in Indiana and Ohio?
| Can great States like New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, California Nevada and New
| Hampshire be bought, intimidated aud de-
| frauded? Even without the vote of Indiana,
which we believe will be redeemed in Novem-
Der, with New York and New Jersey, and
States that are conceded TO us, including
Maine, the election ofour candidate is assured.
The Republican party have put in nomination
| for President and Vice President two men who,
by admission of their own party and press, ara
unworthy Of yeur confidence and your suffra-
ges. 1t is impossible that fifty millions of
| intelligent and patriotic people will consent to
place themselves upon the humiliatirg level
thus prepared for them by Republican mana.
gers. Fellow citizens, the first days repulse
at Gettysburg ended on the third with Han
cock in front in glorious victory. That VIC
tory secured us our Union. The question is
not now the preservation Of the Union, but OF
| constitutional government. Hancock is now,
as then, in the front ; the repuse is now, as
then, an omen of victory, which will secure to
coming generations the inestimable blessings
of civil liberty.
By order Of the National Democratic Com
mittee. WIN. II. BARNUM, Chairman.

Democracy vs Radioalism.

The Republican party when in power in
creased the bonded debt OF South Carolina
from six millions TO eighteen millions. They
repudiated six millions Of the debt they Gre
ated and then scaled the balance, including
the ante 6eIlum debt, fifty cents on the dollar
They levied from eleven to sixteen mills on
the dollar for State purposes annually upon
an assessment fifty millious more than it is
now. They created large deficiencies every
year and bankrupted the State.
The Democrats in less than four years have
reduced the State tax to an average, for the
years they have made levies, Of about five
mills. They have satisfactorily arranged the
public debtsend are paying the interest there,
ON pro mptly. The school money, which tho
Radicals usually stole, is honestly disbursed.
Our Judiciary has been purified, and the laws
are impartially enforced and respected by all.
Peace and--quietude reigns supreme. There
are no riots and bloodshed now, and all feel
secure in the rights Of person and property
The County Treasurers, who defaulted under
Radical rule for over hundred thousand dol,
cent. Debauchery, thievery and Ignorance
reigned supreme during the Radical regime
Decenoy, honesty and intelligence now pre-.
walls. Has any honest man grown tired of our
present state of affairs? Does any one desire
q return of the State Of affairs that existed
during the days of Radical ascendenoy? Let
their ballots answer next Tuesday.
