Labor Troubles In Ohio.

- A Cincinnati dispatch of Monday says
that at Corning, in the mining district, the
scene of the troubles between white and
colored miners, a number of the miners un.
dertook to come within the lines established
by the Ewing Guards, and were ordered to
halt They responded with volley of musk
etry, and the fire was returned and kept up
for FIVE minutes. Col. w. G. Lamars, in
dispatch received Sunday night, says :
The striking miners divided their forces into
three parties, and simultaneously attacked
the troops and the Corning miners on two
ridges extending along the north and south
side of what is known as Mine No. 8. He
says their column on the north side was fully
two hundred strong and well armed. They
were halted by the troops, when the firing
began as above stated. The miners then
opened fire from both ridges, but scattered
and fled precipitately after the troops had
fired few rounds. They made an effort
afterwards to organize and make another
onslaught, but did not succeed. The strik-
inL miners are said to be returning to their
homes at Straitsvlle and Shawnee. The
number of them engaged in the attack on the
troops is said to be FIVE hundred.
The South Carolina Census.
"A Washington dispatch of the 18th
says many mysterious statements have been
made respecting the method adopted by Su'
perintendent Walker to test the accuracy OF
the South Carolina census returns. None Of
them convey clear, definite view of it.
Gen. Walker explains, in terms as simple
as ITSELF He has prepared a number of
cards. Upon series of them are transcribed
the census returns for single family for 1860,
1870 and 1880. They are carefully COM
pared If they are consistent, showing
proper increase or decrease in accordance
with natural laws, they are pronounced cor.
rect. IT, on the contrary, the card for 1860
and the card for 1880 contain details of the
enumeration of the family in question, while
the card for 1870 contains meagre account
of it, or none at all, the obvious Inference is
that the enumerators in 1870 were derelict.
However, no deductions will be made from
any discrepancy discovered until it has been
investigated. For this purpose special agents
are sent to the locality from which the sus.
pected returns came, and the family whose
members were not returned in 1870, or in
1880, is examined. The agent does not return
until he can give an account Of the history
of the families he has examined for the past
twenty years. Of course it will not require
many such Investigations to demonstrate the
accuracy or inaccuracy of the census of 1880:
Gen. Walker incipes decidedly to the belief
that the census of 1870 was defective, and
expects his theory to be sustained by the re-
suit of these investigations.

TREMAINE's SUN PICTURES.

Mr.. Tremaine will give a series of exhibi-
tions of his sun pictures, in the Court House,
commencing tonight. This is not what is
usually termed "magic lantern' exhibition,
but to the contrary is spoken Of by our ex-
changes as being large, magnificent views, as
nearly perfect as art can make them. They
were photographed by Mr.. Tremaine him
self, and he has spent many years in prepara-
tion for the exhibitions that he is giving.
They embrace tour from New York to Je-
rusalem, and give clearer and more correct
idea Of the old world than can be gained in
any other way than by an actual visit to them.
The exhibition is strongly endorsed by Prof.
Carlisle, of Wofford College DR.. Wightman,
pastor of the Methodist Church at Spartan
burg DR.. Manly, pastor of the Baptist Church
at Greenville; Prof Ligon, of Carolina COL
legiaae Institute, Anderson, and many other
well.known gentlemen throughout the State.
The Winnsboro Ne,rs of Tuesday, speaking
of this exhibition says:
Mr. Tremaine closed his Sun Picture Exhi-
bition at this place on last Saturday evening,
and large and delighted audience witnessed
the last trip on the route from New York to
Jerusalem The Sun Pictures as exhibited
by MIR. Tremaine, are new and original, and
far Outdo the old fashioned. style of panoramic
exhibitions. The journey from New York to
Jerusalem by these pictures is grand and in
structive sight, and well worth taking.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

On Thursday last the Democratic voters OF
York county participated in their first prl'
mary election. Previous to the election the
county had been thoroughly canvassed by the
various candidates for nomination; they had
full opportunity to publicly express their
views from the stump, and to mingle freely
with the people, thereby giving every oPpor-
tunity by which The voters could judge of their
respective merits and aid them in forming an
intelligent conclusion as to who should serve
them in the legislative halls and the county
Offices. That conclusion was arrived at and
emphasis given to it by the silent but potent
ballot on Thursday, and as it is the voice OF
the people, there is none to gainsay it. VI
the perfect success of the primary system in
nominating candidates, no dispute can be
made, and the friends of the system in York
county may have cause to congratulate them
selves on the satisfaction which it has given
the people, Of course all the voters did not
secure their choice, and many good men
failed to secure nominations, yet those who
were nominated were selected by majority
of the voters by free ballot, and no com.
plant can be made, as is so common after
nominations have been made by convention.
As yet since the election, we have not heard
the first complaint raised as to the primary
system, or the manner in which the ballotlng
was conducted.
That the people manifested proper interest
in the election, is shown by the vote given
it aggregating 2,2l0 against 1887 in the
general election of 1878, and falling below
that vote only 1877; so if these 7S7 failed to
vote for no other reason than their disapprov-
al of the system, there is very respectable
majority who have shown by their action
that they approve of it. But this test can
not be applied TO those who failed to vote,
as it is known that many voters were out OF
the county, others did not take the trouble
to 90 the polls, and the colored vote, num-
bering only 80, is much below the Democrat
ic strength of the colored voters of York.
We publish this week tabulated state
ment of the balloting, from which it will be
seen that the following nominations were
made:
Senate-I. D. Witherspoon, Esq.
House of Representatives-Dr. John &.
Black, Iredell Jones, B. H. Massey W. H.
Stewart.
County Commissioners-Dr. J. B. Allison,
John M. Jackson, Andrew F. Lindsay.
County Treasurer-Hyder A. D. Nicely.
County Auditorium. B. Williams.
Clerk of the Court-Joseph F. Wallace.
Probate Judge-Joseph A. Mclean.
Sheriff-R. II. Glenn.
School Commssoner-Rev. R. Latham.
These nominations having been made by
the people, it only remains for them to give
confirmation to the act by giving the ticket
hearty and unanimous support on the End of
November

The
Let it not be forgotten that Monday next is
the day appointed for public speaking in York
vile by the Democratic State canvassers. In
every county in which they have spoken since
the opening of the canvass, they have been met
by thousands Of the Democracy, and it is de-
sirable that York shall not be behind her sis
ter counties in making suitable demonstra-
tion in honor of Home Rule and Good Gov
ernment. 1t is not known definitely who will
be the speakers, except that Gen. Hagood will
be among them. As the standard-bearer of
Democracy in the State, he deserves, and We

T. 8. JEFFERYs' BANKING HOUSE.

bids defiance to the man who set it. 1t Is
marvel of skillful mechanism, and shows to
what extent the ingenuity Of man is taxed to
circumvent the efforts of thieves and burglars.
Mr.. Jofferys' banking house has come to be
an institution in our town. BesiGes providing
the funds for paying for the larger proportion OF
the cotton sold in this market, he also does
an extensive business in the way of furnish

furnished by him in any desired amount, and
