No member Of Congress has enjoyed
in higher degree the esteem and
respect Of his fellow members, ire
spective Of political differences, than
Gen. Garfield, the Republican candi-
date for President. Congressman
FELTON,, a Georgia Democrat, said in
a speech at Marietta recently:
1 know General Garfield personally,
have been on the same committee with
him, and he is q gentleman of good NOR
ais, social, clever, and has a grand intel
lect; intellectually he has no superior in
the House. He is good man, has a
mind Of inexhaustible resources, and l
have not word to say to detract from
his integrity.
It is well that such frank and just
sentiments as this should be repro
duced occasionally by the independent
press, in order that Southern voters
who desire to cast their ballots intel
ligently may not be inveisaed By rab-
idly partisan speakers and newspapers
into the belief that the Democratic
candidate is opposed by villain and
q b0or. In all the attributes that con-
stitute the true gentleman, the scholar
and the statesman, Gen. Garfield is at
least the peer and equal of Gen. Han
cock. Gen. Garfield has been pow
erful friend to material Southern in
tcrests when they were most in need
Of friends, and he deserves the respect
of our people, even though he may
not receive their votes.

in Bogansvillc, near West Springs, g. c., in tho
Slst year of his age from Bilious Fever and
general prostration. In the evening of the same

like that Of his: Thus far the Lord has kept
us and He will keep us until the end" And
while our bodies as his, shall sleep in the grave,
our souls shall live forever In the presence Of The
Lord Our deceased friend fills an honored

Horse Thief Caught.

On Saturday Inst II horse, new saddle and
bride, was stolen from Mr.. Jennings, of Spar
tanburg, and traced to this County. On Sunday
the thief with the stolen property was seen near
this town on the Santuc road, and soon after
wards his purSucrs from Spartanburg arrived
upon jaded horses. a party of gentlemen of
this place took up 1.-The trail" with fresh hor.
ses, and two Of them overlook the thief
colored man, a.few miles below here. Upon
one of them taking hold of the bride and
commanding tho thief to surrender, the
latter jumped from the saddle, bowed po.
litely to the captors and told them they "might
take the horse" and then he 'rook to the
woods" The whispering corrcsponIcn. of the
GrcenvIlle Nc~S is mistaken in saying the thief
escaped with Tcr"s jHStic". There was no JUS
lice about il, the rascal got off wthou; justice.

The Election Returns.

The Board of Election Commissioners canvas
sed the returns of the managers Of election for
this County on Tuesday last, but the table being
of more than ordinary size and wishing to give
it in full we are unable to put in type for this
issue. 1t shall appear in full next week. The
tabulated statement will vary but slightly
from our report last week. The vote for the
Hancock electors was 1865, against 754 for
Glrfeld, making Democratic majority of 9, ,2l l
The majority for the State and County ticket
was n little moro than the National.

theories advanced by Newspaper Editors and
correspondents, the following, which we find in

"Vox," comes nearer to our opinion than any
other, Of the true inwardncss of the cause of
our defeat
The army of croakers will now be busy in
solving the problem of our defeat, but there is
really no mystery about it. The Republican
party had the official patronage to begin with
In addition to this it bad the money power of
the North, Of the Railroad magnates, United
States bondholders, Protectionists, land we
ashamed to confess it, the ministers of the Meth
odist Church North and that Puritan pet, Henry
Ward Beecber. This would seem enough but
whep the Republican speakers. with the new
orator, General Grant, the quandam man of
golden silence to lead of, took the ground
that the ELECTION of General Hancock would
place the government in the hands of the Con-
federate Brigndiers that everything would be
run in the interests of the South to the ruin of
sthe North, Ind another war would be inc vitable,
n legular Bull Run panic seized the. North and
West-. Tire shout that the s'Greeks are at our

out, anu inc HANCOCK Doom collapsed. IL was
but history repeating itself again--the remem-
brance Of old Horace Greeys war cry--"the
crack Of the slave drivers whip in Congress"
came back, and Southern supremacy, the 6ete
NOR of the North, loomed up before u panic
stricken people. =.
The election hinged upon two cardinal points:
The North feared the solid South, and the old
South feared the Republican party; and the
North had the numbers, the money and the
election: ::machinery on us, 50 it won.
1t was very evident that much Of the sectional
hatred and prejudice against the South had died
out among the masses of the Northern people.
This plainly seen by the Northern Republic

and their party. Not man among the mana
gers and leaders Of that party was able to stem
the tide of public feeling that was setting in
against them, and q last resort. and rcluc-

GARFIELD's VIEW OF IT-The triumph of tho
Republicans was Of course announced TO Gen.
Garfield long before midnight on Tuesday. This
is what the Presidentelec said after one of the
most favorable dispatches:
"Genttemen-This result means three things !:
First, that tho 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 polL
tics by endorsing campaign. of personal abuse"

LANCASTER, November 1.-The Republican
tickets did not reach them in time and they,
with entire unanimity, 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 Congress, instructed
them by telegraph to abstain from voting, and
this word was conveyed to all the precincts. 1t
is claimed that he will contest the seat of Col
Eyins, if the next House be Republican, on this
ground and that he may get his $4,000 per
