gressional election in the Second District of
West Virginia, which indicate the election of
Mason. Republican, over Wilson, Democrat,
by nine votes. In Ohio three of the Republic
can candidates were elected by s, Is and 80
majority respectively.
"A press dispatch from Cincinnati an
nounces the election of Neal, Democrat, in
the 18th Ohio district, over Heart, Republi-
can, by Il majority of three on the official
count. This makes fifteen Democrats to six
Republicans as the count; now stands, and if
Wallace in the eighth district makes good his
contest against Mckinley, which he probably
will, it will stand sixteen to five.
Gen. Butler is about to storm the Massa-
chusetts State House for the sixth time. In
1859 he ran against Gen, Banks. In 1860, he
tried it again also in 1871. In 1878 he failed
of nomination. In 1870, he polled 10000
votes, the largest vote ever thrown for Dem
ocrat. He is worth five million dollars, and
has law practice worth seventy-five thousand
dollars year.
John Kelley has, in the name of Tam
many, yielded everything for the. sake of har-
mony ia the party. The forlorn hope of the
Republicans was that Mr.. Kelley would split
the municipal ticket and thus cndanger the
State nominations. But Mr.. Kelly disap-
pointed the common enemy and Democratic
unity means Democratic triumph in New
York.
- Orlando Hubbs, the sitting member, who
claimed to have been nominated by the Re-
publican Convention of the Second North
Carolina district, has published card with
drawing from the race With his colored Re-
publican opponent, O'IIara, who likewise
claimed the regular nomination, and con-
cludes ''Nothing but the firm belief that a
continued struggle will give the district and
the State to the enemy could cause my with
drawal."
The political contest in Indiana is being
waged with great earnestness on both sides,
all the home speaking talent having been
brought into requistion, and this is now being
supplemented by imported speakers. The re-
suit in Ohio has given the Democrats renewed
confidence, and such leaders as VOORHEES,,
Hendricks and Mcdonald confidently predict
the election of the Democratic State ticket
and a gain of several congressman. A cor
respondent of the New York Tribune, who
has just completed tour of Indiana, comedies
that the outlook is not encouraging for the
Republicans and prdicts Democratic congress-
ional gains.
- The five States in which Congressman
have been elected thus far are Maine, Yer
mont, Oregon, Ohio,- and West Virginia.
The delegations from these States in the pres
ent Congress stand 22 Radicals, 8 Democrats
and Greenbackers. The Greenbackers have
been wiped out, and they now stand 16 Radi-
Gals and 16 Democrats. Ohio has in the pres
ent Congress IA Radicals and 6 Democrats
She gained one member in the new apportiOn-
ment and the recent election reversed the pro-
portions by making the delegation stand 5
Democrats and Radicals. The Radicals ex-
pect to lose one Congressman each in Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Massachu-
setts, and two in South Carolina in place of
the two they forced into the present House by
unseating two Democrats. This will make a
gain of IA for the Democrats, and a loss of II
for the Radicals in the next House. If the
election Of President shall devolve upon the
House of Representatives, as some anticipate,
a Democrat is bound to be elected, for the
States cast one vote each Ito be determined by
the majority of each delegation and Ohio is
already in the Democratic column.
SOBER COUNsEL.-We may we'll hope that
the exhortations of Senator Hampton in his
address to the Charleston Democracy on
Thursday night will be needed by the people
of the State. There is candor and simplicity
in what he said that will commend it to every
honest heart. :"
Gen. Hampton tells the people that the dan
gers which menace the State are as great as
those which were confronted in 1876. They
come in more insidious shape, in the guise Of
Greenbackism and Independentism. But the
Democratic party is ''the only party that can
give you justice, equality right, good govern
ment and honest rule" These are Hampton's
words. And these: II tell you that he ,rho is
not acith ne, with that party, is trait0r to the
State.' Gen. Hampton spoke highly of the
patriotism and conscientiouSness of Republl-
cans he had met in the North, and said truly
that it is a slur upon the name of Republican,
ism to apply that term to the hybrid mongrel
opposition party in South Carolina. The peo-
pie who oppose the Democracy now, using the
Greenbackers as the platform on which they
shall mount to scale the walls of the Demo-
cratic citadel, are the same ''whO stole the
State Government Of South Carolina, who
held it by the aid of the bayonet, who confis-
Gated her wealth and brought shame to the
cheek of every honest man III the State" Can
white men justify themselves, to themselves,
in following course which if successful,
would make South Carolina, once more, the
Prostrate Statep
Gen. HAMPTON explained that the fundamen-
tai Democratic doctrine is submission to the
will of the majority, and that any mistakes in
legislation, if there have been any, can and
will be corrected by the Democracy The
Greenback-Negro party has no power. 1t
cannot aid it's misguided adherents. The only
way to right public wrong is by sending to
the Legislature Democrats who are in accord
with the wishes of the people. Much stress
was laid, too, by Gen. Hampton on the impor-
tance of the Congressional elections. When
Republican States are becoming Democrat
will South Carolina become Radical?
None has better right than Gen. Hampton
to offer advice to the the people, for he is pru-
dent, disinterested and patriotic. The peo-
pie. we hope and believe, will hearken to his
counsel close up the ranks, bring in the strag-
glers and push forward to complete victory in
November. and Courier.
A KNOXVILLE HORRoR.-At Knoxville,
Tenn, on Thursday last, General Joseph A.
Mabry, Major Thomas O'Connor and Joseph
A. Mabry, Jr., were killed in shooting affray.
The difficulty began on the previous afternoon
by Gen. Mabry attacking Maj. O'Connor and
threatening to kill him. This was at the
Fair Grounds, and O'Connor told Mabry it
was not the place to settle their differences
Mabry then told O'Connor he should not live
1t seems that Mabry was armed and O'Connor
was not. The cause of the difficulty was an
