II is stated on most reliable authority that
Gen. Hancock on Saturday addressed letter
to Chairman Barnum in which he said that
he had been consulted by several committc cs
with reference to n proposed revision of the
vote cast on last Tuesday, with view to con-
testing the election in New York State in his
interest. He had also seen the same course
commen ded in certain Democratic newspapers
lie wished to say that the movement did not
meet his approval, ar it appeared to be based
upon unprovable assertions and inadequate

open to the insuparable objection that, under
no circumstances would he consent TO be q

The Solid South.

Since tho election our able and cs,
teomcd contemporary. tho Charleston
-NcDS and Courier has been advocating
the breaking up OF the Solid South
politically. Why it advocates this
strange and to us, inconsistent policy
VIC do not understand, unlcss it is for
the purpose of trying to appoasc the
wrath of the stalwart Republicans OF
the North. This is an impossibiIty.
From 1868 to 1876 the South was al
most solid for tho Republicans. The
Northern Republicans woro equally as
denunciatory then rs now. Thoy
1olsted upon lis one of the most vicious
and corrupt State Governments known
to civilization, and pr0pped IL up
by bayonots. Thousands of our
best citizens were ruthlessIy drags
god from their homes, upon the
affidavits of the most ignorant and
vicious negroes, and incarcerated in
Northern prisons. Our property, un~
der tho guise of law, was stolen from
us, and wo had no security for person
or property. This is only q dim out.
line of affairs when the South was not
solid. Shall we return to these things
again and abandon our faithful North.
orn allies to satisfy the dcmontod scn>
timent Of Northern Radicals? Never!
nevor!! ncver!!! Perhaps the Ne,rs
dnd Courier is as far from returning
to Radical State government as we
are, but how it expects to break up
the Solid South and prevent the as
ccndcncy of tho Radicals in State at-
fairs VIC cannot comprehend. Our
people arc not going to vote nation
al Radical ticket and State Domo-
cratic ticket. They will tako it
straight ono way or tho other. A
Solid South for the Democratic party
implies an honest, intelligent, cconom>
ical government. Let us stand fast
by our colors. Any other course
would be political suicide.

Somc of the Northern papers and
politicians blame Wade Hampton for
the Democratic defeat. They say his
speech at Staunton, Va, his corres-
pondence with John Sherman, and
his pledge at Cincinnati, that the
South would so solidly for Hancock,
did the work. Senator Hampton no
doubt has been Intentionally misre-
presented by tho Northern Radicals
for political purpoecs, and they have
succeeded TO n certain extent in gains
ing votes 10y such misrepresentation,
but as Ben Hill says, Hampton is no
politician and should be more guarded
in his public uttcrancos.

A Little Excitement.

The Democracy of Now York have
instituted an investigation into tho
recent election in that State, with tho
intention, it is stated, of making an
effort to have the electoral vote Of
tho State counted for Hancock. They
aIlege, and probably with good rea-
sons, that over twenty thousand frau
dulent votea were cast for Garfield in
that State, and that if there had boon
q fair election Hancock would have
carried the State. This announcement
created quite an excitement amongst
tho Republicans, and they at once set
up the howl of treason, and threatened
war. The Now York Democracy cer-
tainly havo tho right under the laws
of the country to investigate election
frauds in their State, just the same as
tho Republicans have, but what good
it will effect after tho electoral vote
has been cast for Garfield we fail to
SEQ. The canvassing board OF Now
York is Republican and they will
issue certificates of election TO the
Garfield electors; these electors will
meet and cast the thirty,fvo electoral
votes Of the State for Garfield, and
these votes will be presented TO Con-
gross for lis action. This body, Demo
cratic as it is in both branches, can
not count votes for Hancock which
wero not cast for him. as there will
not, we learn, be two sets of returns
from that State Congress might throw
the vote oat, but this would not give
Hancock enough votes to elect him.
But tho country has acknowledged
the election of Garfield, and all par
ties have quietly and gracefully &C.
quicsccd; business which was some>
what disturbed by tho excitement of
the campaign has resumed its accus
tomod chanel, and it would be suici-
dal to the Democratic party and in-
furious to the country to distrub it.
Congress therefore, will put q quictus
on any excitement that may grow
out of this action of tho Now York
Democracy by declaring Garfeld
elected. This will be the end of it;
but still we arc glad our New York
trilonds arc making the investigation
Fsimply to show to the world by what
means Garfield was elected. This is
i probably all they intended from tho
first.

2,3l8 votes in this county. Eleven of the
candidates on his own fusion ticket ran ahead
of him, including Mr.. Speer and two gentle-
men who had declined b eing candidates. ABB

Judge by seven votes. Col. Perry, the straight
Democratic nominee, beat him by 2,2Ol. Only
two names on his ticket are credited with less
votes than himself, and he is 81 behind the

he failed to receive any Democratic votes, but
scratched by some Republicans. The test has
been satisfactorily decided GreenOi1le Nesos.

the absolute consolidation of all the
States into one empire. In either
event our constitutional system will
fail. In my opinion the time has come
when the great question for real
statesmen to consider is how speedily
to break up this sectional solidity, and
organize parties altogether on other
Issues. The Democratic party is hated
at the North, and therefore it ought
to be disbanded. The Republican
party is hated at the South, aud thero
tore 1T ought to be disbandrd. Wheth>

has ability for tho crisis. He must
feel keenly the fact that he is elected

great opportunity, and he can if he
will easily and consistently destroy all
sectional animosities and soliditics and
be chosen for tho second term bv u
majority of the States North and
