How to do it Next Time.

The Greenvile Neos, giving its experts
ence of the recent contest, says that the no,
gro voter must be ''scen" before election day
or it will then bo too late. We endangered
to show the same thing hero. but the people
generally would not lay hold of tho imam
and brother" Tho usual method of eleco
tioneering tell upon him as sure and rs
effectually as upon the white man. If his
vote is necessary, there is but ono proper
way to gctit, and that is tho usual mode of
electionoering. But upon this subject tho
Ne,os we'll says:
"Thoro are several lessons that We may
draw from the campaign whio it's memories
arc yet fresh with US. The first suggested
and most useful perhaps, is tho. we should
nevor forget at tho close of each political
battle that another is approaching. Had tho
thought of 1880 always been present with US
during the 'off years" of 1873 and 1879, We
would constantly have done work without
labor or inconvenience that would hayo So
cured us our 1000 and better. Waiting
until tho negr0's mind becomes inHamed
with ncondiary speeches, bowilderod by bull
"o"'bo opu hHotiJ hAou py "Ppooio, HoNcu VI
falsehoods, to bis prejudices and fears, wo
find only discouragoment and failure in
working upon him.
ALLOWING our own forces to become utterly
disorganzed, wo leave them exposed to divi-
sons and internal conflicts that cannot be
healod in month and exist to weukon Us.
The remedy for all is to havo thought for
the future always. In regard to the negro
we should each adopt distinct limo Of poll
oy looking to tho opening Of his eyes, and
securing Of his aid by tho next election day.
We should show that in whatovcr We
cay we arc in earnest, and that our actions
are not moroly intended for tho emergency
Of the present. Train and teach him from
year to year and prepare him to voto intol-
ligontly and willingly with you. You can
find abundant occasion for quietly giving him
food for healthy thought during two years. A
semblanoo of organization should be main
tained in the political clubs, oven when the
election is most distant. 1t brings men into
close companionship and fellowship, and
toaohes them the valuable lesson of acting
together. Let us therefore during tho two
years Of rost and peaco bo always watohful
for On opportunity to say word or do
something that will help tho good cause in
1882"

The Presidential Election.

Gen. Garfield has been elected President
of tho United States by large and decisive
majority. His electoral vote is 232, whilst
that Of Gen. Hancook's is I47. Con. Cur
field carried every Northorn State, except
New Jersey, the election turning upon q
purely sectional question. A number of
causes have been given for tho result, but in
our judgment, tho ''solid South" was tho roal
cause. 1t was the staple argument of the
Republicans during tho campaign, and was q
very strong presentation of tho bloody shirt.
No ono, however, need be alarmed at tho
result. The Northern people had the samo
right to vote for Garfield that the Southerner
had to vote for Hancock, and tho majority
Of tho former is so largo that no approhen-
sion need be had as to tho final count and
Inauguration of the President elect. In all
probability, TOO, Gon. Garfield will follow tho
course pursued by Mr.. Hayes towards the
South-tho recognition of homo rule--and
that is all tho South need care for.
The press of tho country, North and South,
is attempting to find remedy for the present
sectional condition Of the Union, but the
views expressed, as general thing, are
ueW uor loICIDlo. luo lScpuoilCHu
press, as usual upon our defeat, attempt to
allure tho people Of the South to break away
from the Democrats of the embrace
Republiounism as cure for all tho political
evils Of the hour. Somo of the Southern
papers are inclined to the same course, but
VIC SEQ nothing practical or reasonable in it.
The South has always been, as general
thing, Democratic, and, if the people were to
60 into another party-let that party be new
or old-the animus Of the people would re-
main and show itself on pertinent occasions.
No. The people of the South will not de-
sert their Democratic allies of tho North.
The Democratic party is the party of tho
people. and represents more than ever the
wishes and aspirations of the patriotic people
of the whole country. Doubtless the party,
to cay nothing Of individual membors Of the
party, have made mistakes. These can be
corrected in the future, both as to measures
and tho conduct of members Of the party,
We should keep in mind the fact, however,
that the Republicans have mado gains in the
South in this election. There is u cause for
this, and it should not escape tho attention
Of the party rulers.
But, if wo cannot rule tho country politi-
cally, we can devote our time to building up
tho industries of the country, and laying
deop and sure tho foundations of general
prosperity.

Congress-.

The election on Tuesday last mado q de-
oided change in the political complexion Of
tho next (47th) Congress. The House on the
4th of March next will be Republican,, a
number of gains in that direction having
been made in tho South, notably in Tenneso
SEQ, Arkansas aud Virginia. Possibly ono
District in South Carolina may bo repre>
sented by =. w. nj. Mackey instead Of Mr..
O'Connor, of Charleston. Nothing but tho
official count will determine tho result. Tho
Senate will bo about equally dividcd-tho
independents and Democrats may havo o
majority Of one or two. Itis intimated that
an extra session Of Congress, commencing
tho Ash Of March, will inaugurate invests
cations into tho vote for monlbors of tho
House from several Of tho States of tho
South.

Bishop Doggett.

After protraoted illness, Rev. David Seth
Doggett, D. d., Bishop Of the Methodist
Church, South, died at his homo In Rich
mond Va, Wednesday night, October 81.
1880. This intelligence will occasion grief
and mourning throughout the church and
country.
Bishop Doggett was Emo scholar, an able
minister, an humble Christian gentleman,
and was justly hold in high estoem as wise
and an impartial Superintendent of the
Church. His death, which, at any time,
would have boon public oalamity, occurring
just in tho midst Of tho sessioos of tho
Annual Conferences, and when his remaining
colleagues have soarcely time and strength
to meet their own appointments, falls with
peculiar aud affecting weight on the Church
The members Of tho South Carolina Confer
ence have been greatly pleased at tho pros
poet of having him to preside at thor session
in December. However well his place may
bo filled by another the South Carolina
Conference will feel sad and sorrowfu when
they assemble noxt month in Marion and find
that the beloved brother. Bishop Doggett
is not there. God has taken his faithful
servant to himself, and would thus remind
tho laborers remaining in tho vinyard to work
while it is day, aud bo also ready.
Bishop Doggett was born in Lancaster
county, Va, 1910; entered tho ministry
when young man; was elected Biohop in
1866, and about 70 yoars old when ho

WASHINGTON, November 4.-There was
moro general interest fclt horc on both sides
in the contest in ex Governor Curtius dis
trict than in any other Of tho Pennsylvania
Congressional battles All of tho Democrats
and many Republicans strongly sympathizcd
with Curtin and hopo to SEQ him confront
tho petty brigadiers who conspirod to defoat
and humliate him last winter in the Curtin
Yocum contest; because of his record as tho
war Governor Of his State. The news of
his triumphant election was received with
general satisfaction among the newspaper
men, most of whom know him personally
and esteem him highly. If he can pass
Confederate Vice President S,ophens, who
led tho bolt against Curtin last winter, there
will be disappointment on oil sides. When
Stephens was imprisoned in Fort Warren,
Curtin bastened to Washington to obtain his
liberation, and Stephens rewarded Curtin by
boiling the party to defeat him. They will.
now @ me fnco to frce in tho House, and
Curtin is likely to have good memory of
the events OF last winter.

The War Between the Railroads.

We stated last week that tho management
Of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad
had refused to receive or exchange freight
at Senece City with the Air Limo Railroad,
Since that time the management has refused
to receive freight for Eastern cities to bo for
warded by way of Charleston. The expa-
tion Of this is. that litigation is pending be-
tween the Charleston and Groenville Roads,
and that is the reason Of the action of tho
officials Of the latter road. This may be oil
very we'll for tho railroads, but it 10 tho poo-
ple that are to suffer really for such selfish
ness, and we hope it will not be continued,
especially as there is noithor reason nor
necessity for it.
No ono, however, rises to explain why it is
that this section Of the up country Of South
Carolina is cut off from tho West by the
refusal of the authorities of tho Grconvillo
Road to receive and exchange freight at
Seneca with the Air Line Road The Air
Limo Road, with its superb road bed and
splendid equipment has always shown ready
disposition to accommodate and serve tho
people of this section and wo take 1t for
granted that this road is not to blame. The
order emanated from the authorities of tho
Greenville Road, and wo think tho people
are entitled to know tho reason why.
AS long as this statc Of affairs continues,
business mon at this point will have to
wagon their freight from Seneca or Vests
minister on tho Air Line, or have it shipped,
If from the West, by way Of Columbia or
Augusta, and if from tho East by way of
Columbia, at probably an increased rate of
freight and delay in the delivery. In oishor
case We can 500 no necessity for it, except to
enrich tho railway connections of tho Green-
willie Road, at the cost and Inconvenience OF
the people. If some one will suggest a
remedy for these evils, ho shall have our
earnest support. Meantime would it not bo

Democratic majority of lat. A smaller
vote was polled than in 1876, when our mo-
jority was 1873.
From tho above statement, it will bo seen
thnt Tate received 81 votes moro than the
rcgular Radical ticket, which shows his
strength as on "Indepondent candidate"
Hudson, the othor "Independont received
90 votcs, nearly oil Of which were polled at
Westminster by persons who scratched the
regular ticket. There was slight scratching
throughout the county, but the only serious
detection was ut Westminster. We think tho
Democratic club at that place owes it to tho
party to investigate this matter and 500 who
it is that after taking part in the primary
election, disrcgafd their obligation and
scratch tho regular Democratic ticket. 1t
will bo seen that Tato and Hudson, the
80 called "lndopendont candidates." had not
much strength on the Radical tiokct and
worry litto indeed when running Independent.
The fact is, tho people Of Oconeo sat down
squarely on Radicals and Independents
alike; much moro Of course on tho Indo-
we have better opinion Of tho Republican
than the sculawag independent
The election in Oconeo was remarkably
peaceful and quiet. There was no excite-
ment. The strength of tho canvass was
spent in tho primary election, and it was
found almost impossible to ro-awaEen al
active interest in tho canvass afterwards.
Nevertheless, the people turned out woll and
voted for tho nominees Of the party gencr-
ally, ondeavoring to retain thereby good
government and insure for tho future pros
perity and happiness for all tho people of the
country.
The State has gone Democratic by o very
largo majority-ffty thousand or moro. In
Charleston the voto is so close that the off.
cial count alone will give the result.
The Grconbackers were no where in the
election. So fur as wo hnvo been ublo to learn
we do not believe the State ticket polled 500
votes. There was never much in it and
there is less now than before tho Wa erloo.
