New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1882-07-17

This the only district which contains no fractions Of
counties.
1t will be observed that only two districts have
white majorities and in each of them the majority
is less than 700 while of the other five districts
three have colOrtd majorltcs ranging from l,439
TO % l0s and the o her two have colored major
i.ies OF nearly LOCO each. Nevertheless. the Bour
bons confidently assume that they are sure of six
districts In any State where elections are
reasonably fair and honest an ad-
verse majority Of nearly 5000, as is
the case in the Id South Calolina District, woud
deter even tha most sanguiLo Democrat from claim
ing il as a safe Democratic district; but 5000 Re-
publican majority Is regarded as a mere bagatelle
by the Bourbons of South Carolina In proof OF
thi. may be cited the fact that to-day George ID
Tlllman holds seat in the House of Representa-
tiycs from the With south Carolina District, which
comprises the counties in the lid District and
also the County of Beaufort According to the
official statement OF the Census Office this
With District contains cOlored majority
of I2,sGS and yet Tillman was returned
by pretended majority of s,O43. Under
these circumstances Dibble and Tilman have
reasonable ground for confidence that the new
Id strict can easily be made to send the latter
back to Congress, without the use of tlSsuc-ballOs
and ,hoi-guu, both OF which were required two
years ago. In that district the BourbOns have taken
time by the forrlOck, and in Edgefeld County,
where the election OF 1850 Vitiated By violence
and boodshcd, very few of the $500 cOlored voters
have registered this year. They are afraid to
register say the South Carolina republicans.
d" They seem 10 have lost interest IL pollucs' the
South Carolina bOurbOnS explain.
