THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

In the canvass just closed, there were FIVE
Presidential tickets voted for, as follows {:
Republical-President, James A. Garfield,
of Ohio. Vice-President, Chester a. Arthur,
of New York.
Democratic-P esident, Winfield S. Han
cock, of Pennsylvania. Vice-President, W..
H. English, of Indiana.
National Greenl ack-President, James A.
Weaver, of Iowa. Yice-President, B. }. Cham
bers, of Texas.
Prohibiton--President, Neal Dow, of Maine.
Vice-President, A. II. Thompson, OF Ohio.
Anti Masonic President, John W. Phelps,
of Vermont. Vice-President, Samuel G. Pom
eroy, of Kansas.
The contest, however, was between the Dem
Gratis and the Republicans, and between these
two great National parties it was conducted
with the bitterness and desperation which al
ways marks this quadrennial election. AL
though the last issue of the ENQUIRER went
to press but few hours after the closing OF
the polls on Tuesday evening, yet the dis
patches we published from various sections
of the Union were sufficient to show that the
result was in favor of the Republican party.
That information is now fully verified. AS
returns now stand, Garfield is elected by a
majority of 81 electoral votes, which will be
counted as follows:

NORTH CAROLINA NEWS.

- The Charlotte Observer reports two re-
cent incendiary fires in Providence township,
Mecklenburg county.
- The aurora says that rocks, pistols ana
knives were used rather freely on the streets
Of Shelby on the night of the election. The
same paper contains notice by man Of
feripg a reward of 500 for the person who
fired pistol at him that night
- The Shelby aurora says that Daniel
Keath, who was convicted of murder at the
last term of Rutherford Superior Court and
is now in Jail at Shelby, has made full con-
fession of the crime of which he was convict
ed, and also many other crimes that he has
committed in days past
At Shoe Heel, Robson county, on Sun
day of last week, young white man named
Cation, who kept store in that place, had
an alteration on the street with young mu'
l,to named Hines. On the following day,
Hines went into Cations store, and after some
words, plunged his knife into Caton' twice.
;nAictino wounds from which he died four
minutes after. Hines made his escape.
AT Statesvile, on election day, two COL
lege girls, one daughter Of a prominent Re-
publican of the town, and the other daugh'
ter of leading Democrat of Burke county,
cot into dispute over the Presidential con:
testants, which became so exciting as to lead
to blows. The girls were parted by their
friends, but not until one had received black
eye, and the other lost lock of hair At
Gastonia, says the Gazette, two young ladies,
one Republican, and the other Democrat,
cot into dispute, which, though it did not
lead tosblows, caused some excitement

MARRIAGE.

Our young townsman, Mr.. A. Springs With
ers, was married in Wentworth Street Luther
an Church, Charleston, S. G., on "Wednesday
evening, the 3rd instant, to Miss Lille NJ
Thames, of that city. Rev. DR.. W. S. Bow
man was the officiating clergyman. The hap
py couple arrived at the home of the groom in
this place on Thursday, and on Friday evening
gave reception, when they were called upon
by their numerous friends who extended theil
congratulations. On Tuesday evening the
young friends of the bride and groom gave
them complimentary hop, which was an en-
ioyable occasion.

Winnsboro, Doko, Jenkinsville, Yonguesville
and Gladden's Grove, virtually abandoning
the other polling places, and they massed in
immense crowds and made it very difficult to
vote. Owing to delay caused by waiting
for the name of Radical candidate for the
Legislature, the Radical tickets did not appear
until several hours after the polls we're open
ed, and in the meantime other tickets were
largely circulated among the negroes and
voted very considerably by them. Fairfield
gives Democratic majority.
The majority of Evins over Blythe, in
the Fourth Congressional district, is about
$4,000. The Greenville Ne,os says it is gen.
orally understood that A. Blythe, the Re-
publican candidate for Congress, will contest
the seat of Hon. j. H. Evins in Congress.
Strolbrand will also contest Col. Aiken's
seat in the other up country district. The
grounds will probably be general fraud, In
timidatiep, etc. Each Of the contestants was
beaten by over 10000 majority. The state
ment is also made that in Lancaster county
the Republicans did not vote because their
printed tickets did not reach them in time
With entire unanimity they refused to VOTE
believing that the election would be void by
reason of their having no printed tickets. 1t
is said that Blythe, their nominee for Con-
e.ess, instructed them by telegraph to ab
stain from voting, and this word was conveyed
to all the precincts. 1t is claimed that he will
contest the seat of Col. Evins, if the next
House be Republican, on this ground and
that he may get his $4,000 per annum from
a partisan Congress.

STATE ELECTION ITEMS.

- The vote for Hagood and the Democrat
ic State ticket will foot up $4,000. Blair,
Greenback candidate for Governor, received
but light vote.
Mclean, the Greenback apostle and can
didate of that party for Congress in this dis
trict, received only 10 votes in his own coun.
ty, (Fair6eld.)
The negroes at Kingstree, Williamsburg
county, came to the polls and had their arms
hidden on the outskirts of the town, as the
volleys after dark proved.
Two thousand armed negro voters crowd,
ed into Edgefeld Village on the morning Of
election day and openly threatened to seize the
ballot-boxes But they didn't do it!
-Gadsden McKni ght, colored Democrat
in Kingstree, lost ali infant on last Sunday
evening, and the colored men in town refused
to help him dig the grave on account of his
politics.
Semi-oficial returns place the Democratic
majority in Greenville county at 2,273, not
counting the box in Dunklin Township. That
box was, by mistake, opened at 7 A. M. 1t
was closed at 6 P. NJ, and as the votes were
emptied on the table and the count began,
the light was put ont by party outside the
window of the managers room and the votes
seized and scattered. An official count was
not made. All parties concede that no blame
attaches to the managers, who endeavored to
capture the intruders. Dunkling has always
given large Democratic majority.

HANCOCK.
GARFIELD.

This result, it may safely be stated, was a
surprise to the whole country-a surprise as
startling to the Republicans as it was morti-
flying to the Democrats ; for besides the above
States which went Democratic, it was conf
IDENTIFY believed that New York and Pennsyl-
vania, with their sixty.four electoral votes,
would also, in this contest, make unmistaka-
BILE expression in favor of constitutional gov.
ernmeut as expounded by the National Dem
ocratic party. But as the sequel has shown,
these two great States proved defective. New
York, probably by treachery of factious
Democratic leaders, destroyed her hitherto
bright Democratic record; and Pennsylvania,
through partisan hate, rejected her illustrious
and honored son rather than have an admin
istration in harmony and sympathy with the
entire country.
But while the defeat of Hancock is a sore
disappointment to the lovers Of harmony,
peace and union-for it was through the wise
and benignant policy his administration
promised that man expected to see COM
plete paci6cation 0 the country-the people
of the "Solid South" so-called, the Southern
States, may have one consolation. Their
State governments are not in the hands of
aliens, enemies and plunderers. If the term
"Solid South" means anything, this is simply
all it implies, that hereafter these States will
each, separately and individually, be "solid"
for home rule and home government. Sc.
cure in this, owing to the commercial rela-
tions between the two sections, and interests
alike important to each, Republican rule can
not press hard upon the South without recoil-
ing upon the North. The "Solid South" may
be distasteful to the Republicans, and weak
kneed Northern Democrats may tremble at
the bugbeac, but oppressive Republican rule
at the National Capital, will only solidify
them for their selfpreservation.

the crop gathered, and another gathered as
far as opened.
Mississippi-Reports received from four.
teen points, all but one of which show unta-
vorable weather for picking, though it is be.
ing pushed as fast as possible. The estimates,
generally, run from rs to 80 per cent, less
than last year, though one place reports a
substantial gain. The crop is nearly all
gathered at one point. The bolls are rotting
for want Of sunshine in one. There is no
complaint Of labor.

In six the weather is unfavorable for picking.
There is little or no change in the estimates,
they being from 25 to 80 per cent less than
last year to about the same. In three the
crop is stated as nearly all picked. Receipts
are coming in rather more freely than last
week.
Texas-Nine reports received, all showing
cold or rainy weather and an interruption to
field operations on account Of that and search
ty of labor. Heavy frost and snow are re-
ported in two, frost expected in one. Pick.
ing nearly finished in one, hands scarce in
three. The yield will be equal to and slig ght-

crop expected in two.
Arkansas-.Two reports received, both show

from the field. There will be short crop in
one, but large yield is indicated in the 9th.

Georgia-Two reports from this State show
bad weather prevailed during the week, in:

Tennessee-O report received which indi.
Gates about two.thirds Of the yield of last

Florida-Two reports indicate that the
cotton is all gathered except the top crop in

THE TENTH CENSUS.

We have received from Col. y. y. fflue,
census supervisor of this district, a copy of the
official report of Gen. F. A. Walker, superin-
tendent of the census, to the Department OF
the Interior, embracing the Investigations OF
Henry Gannet, geographer and special agent,
who was appointed by Gen. Walker to inves-
tigate and report upon the alleged irregulari-
ties respecting the recent enumeration in
South Carolina. Mr.. Gannett visited this
State and personally investigated the counties
in which the gains reported since 1870 appear
ed most suspicious, and with almost exclusive
Republican testimony he reports that the CEN
sus of 1880 is substantially correct, and that
the discrepancy between the census of 1870
and the present year is due entirely to the
defective manner in which the enumeration
of 1870 was made Mr.. Gannett carefully in
vestigated Edgefeld, the population of which
he is satisfied has been correctly returned, and
in reaching Eh,s conclusion he says:
ssI also obtained a statement of the total
vote in the Democratic primaries in this
(Edgefeld) county. There is no suspicion of
fraud in these elections, and parties are di-
vided sharply on the color line, there being
not more than half dozen white Republicans
in the county, while no negroes are allowed to
vote at these elections. Out of 3,46S white
voters in the county, as shown by the sched-
ules of this census, $500 votes were cast at
the primary; tolerably convincing proof
that the white population has been correctly
enumerated.''
In connection with this report, under date
of October 80, the Department of the Interi-
or has published an official statement of the
population of each township in South Carolina.
The townships in York county are given as
follows:
Bethel 2,572, Bethesda 1851, Broad River
2,246, Bullock's Creek 3,346, Catawba ,443,
Cherokee 2,441, Ebenezer 2,229, Fort Mill
1884, Kings Mountain 2,674, York (exclu-
sive Of Yorkville) 2,91S, Yorkville 1880. To-
tai, 30,713.

ports last October reached SS4, ,0OO bales, the
figures were in excess of the prior season by
nearly 100000 bales, and now these are
again overtopped by 10000. The South At.
lantic ports lead in the gain, Charleston, Sa.
vannah and Norfolk having already counted
nearly 100000 bales more than last year.
At the Gulf ports only $4,000 bales have
come in, compared with $4,000 in 1879.
The Picayune adds that the trade are still
divided .n the crop question, and the esti.
mates vary materially, though the tendency
lately has been towards higher figures. The
Atlantic States seem to have Jared very we'll
in gathering the crop. and the yield will prob
ably show an excess over last season.
When the City Of Pskin left San Fran
cisco on October 19, she carried in her steer.
age $50 returning Cinnamon. The sailing
hour was fixed at o'clock in the afternoon,
and each one of the $50 did his best to be
first at the gate of the wharf To accom-.
plish this hundreds of them spent the pre-
vious night on the vacant lots in the vicinity
and on or under the wagons loaded with their
baggage At sunrise the gates of the wharf
were opened, and the crowd, encumbered with
bundles of every conceivable size and shape,
tumbled in pellmell, those in the rear falling
over those who had lost their baggage and
their balance, until nearly the whole mass
was piled together on the floor in bowling,
strug ggling heap. The officers soon restored
order and ranged the Cinnamon along the
side of the wharf, where they stood for eight
hours patiently waiting to be allowed to board
the vessel. When the signal to board was
given the scenes of the morning were repeat.
ed, and bundles, bedding, trunks, and no end
of hats went overheard as the crowd rushed
up the narrow gangplank. The cause of the
unprecedented exodous is ascribed to lack of
work and to demand for skilled Chinese
labor at home In accordance with custom
