MURDER IN NEwBERRY.-To the Editor of The
Ne,os and Courier: a party of unknown men
rode up TO the polls at Cromer's Precinct and
in disturbance, which they raised, one negro
was killed The white people at the polls from
the neighborhood did all they could to quiet the
disturbance and finally succeeded in driving off
the rioters. The affair is very much deplored
by the whites, and the colcred people entirely
cxonerate the citizens OF Newoerry County from
any knowledge Of the affair. A posse, headed
by Sheriff Wheeler, is now OH the grounds to
keep down any further disturbance An inves.
lgation of tie matter is being had, and the gull.
ty parties if found cut, will be punished. This
>WRrning all is quiet.

book of more than ordinary merit. 1t is simple
in style, attractive in matter and peculiarly
adapted to the capacities Of young scholars. 1t

accomplished gentlemen in the the country, J..

TIE SOLID SoUTH NEED Nor MBLT-Mont-
gomery, Ala, November 6.-The Montgomery
-4doert'ser says: Lawlessuess. and oppression,
the prohigacy and plumber Of the Repubi an
party compelled the solfdity of the South To
that solidity more that ever before she must
remain steadtast and unmovablc. Under our
benign home rule our peo lie have rrospcred to a
degree that has astoundcd our friends ana con-
fused our enemies. There need not be, and will
not be any "let up in the wonderful progress
of the South under the new regime, whatever
1t may be, which the Republican party seek to
lnaugurate. 1t cannot materially affect the
South. 1t will, indee l. prove blessing to the
extent that it will induce greater sclf-reliance
greater energy and wiser efforts in developing
the wonderful wealth and unlimited resources
which kind Providence has bestowed upon
the Sunny South. The sun will still shine,
gentle showers will fall seed time and harvest
will still bring their blessings, and our great sta
pie must continue to be power in the CONNER
cial world, while our coal and iron and other
minerals will yield wealth Of which the world
does not dream. Let the Solid South, solid al.
way for home rule and honest government, now
give its greatest vigilance and wisest counsels,
not to National politics or to the conflicts and
passions of National parties, but to building up
and advancing our educational moral and ma
terial interests. Herein the South is and must
continue TO be "solid," solid as her glorious
mountains and strong and increasing as the flow
OF her own broad and beautiful streams. ltmay
be that Garfield will prove very different from
what his past record indicates. AS the first Off
Ger of our great Republic, with the responsible
ity Of the government of fifty million of people
pressing upon him, he may possibly prove a
wise and benefcent ruler.

The Presidential Count.
According to the present count the elector q,
college stands 2l3 for Garfield to l56 for Han
e0c.s; We have hut little faith in the effort now
being made in New York to throw out the vote
Of that State. by proving that the republicans
carried it by fraudulent votes. A telegraphio
dispatch from New York says:
The Irving and Tammany Hall and State
Democratic committees have been diligently at
work and claim to have made discoveries which
astound those engaged in the investigation
The National Democratic Committee has not vet
taken hold of the matter, but the Executive Com
mittee will meet on Friday. and at that meeting
reports from the three other committees now
working the subject up will promise to furnish
afhdavits to prove frauds involving over &c, 900
votes.
1t is also, stated on excellent authority that
Gen. Hancock has addressed aletter to Chairman
Barnum, in which he says that he had been con-
suited by several committees with reference to a
proposed revision Of the vote cast on last Tues
day, with view to contesting the election in
New York State in his interest. He wished TO sav
that the movement did not meet his approval. as
IL appeared to be based upon unproyable asser-
tions and inadequate grounds, and, further, be-
cause the movement, so far as it concerned him
personally. was open to the insuperable objection
that under no circumstances would he consent
to be technical President

GARFIELD's VIEW OF IT.-The triumph of the
Republicans Of course announced 10 Gen..
Garfield long before midnight on Tues lay. This
is what the President elect said after one of the
most favorable dispatches:
'Genfiemen-This result means three things !:
First, that the American people believe in the
nationality Of the government second, that
they believe in good, honest, healthy financial
policy; third, they are determined not to mar.
row and disgrace the sphere Of American poliI
ticsby endorsing campaign of personal abuse"

oLrrLED.-lt was not Philip or free trade nor
Kelly or hard money, nor Grant or prosperity,
but hate and the stock-law that elected Garfield.
At certain border precincts in this county the
RAIDS voted solid, because they were promised
that Garfield would repeal everywhere the
stock-law. Maybe he will. Who knows

The Thornwell Orphanage.
We have received a handsomely printed pam
phlet copy of "The Fifth Annual Repor, of the
Thornwell Orphanagc," located at Clinton,
Eaurens County. From the report we learn that
this truly phianthropic institution has had "a
orphan children under its care the past year
six Of whom have been dismissed, five having
completed the course and one returned to friends.
These vacancies have been filed, and If the In.
stitution had room to accommodate more, q larger
number would be received under its benign
influences. '.
The little girls Of the institution have the
entire charge Of the domestic Work. They do
all the cooking, washing, ironing and sewing
the ladies Of the village helping in sewing for
the boys. There are only seven boys, three
of them employed in q Printing Office in the
Institution, from which they issue Monthly 500
copies of a very creditably printed magazine Of
2S pages, and the report before us shows that
they have attained high degree of prof cheney
in the art Of printing. We have seen q greatly
inferior quality of work come from men who
professed to be competent workmen.
The Thornwell Orphauago is doing noble
christian work, and is entitled to the fostering
care of all christian people. It's resources for
the support Of the dear little orphans placed
under its humane care are very limited and we
appeal to oil who are willing 10 help a truly
worthy and very useful institution to contribute o
Of their means to it. 1t will be "as bread
thrown upon the waters"
