The Result.

Contrary to our expectation, the De-
mocrats have elected their President.
While We do not join hands with them
and hurrah in their rejoicing. we would
do nothing to antagonize the coming
administration in its efforts to stamp
out the corruption and dishonesty that
has grown up under Republican ring
rule. Only once since 1860 have the
Democracy been successful in electing
q President of the United States. In
that canvass the Democracy elected
Mr.. Tilden, but they did not succeed in
seating him. The seating of Mr.. Hayes,
in the face Of this fact, was one of The
greatest political outrages ever perpe-
trated upon free and enlightened peo-
pie. History does not furnish another
parallel to this stupendous political
robbery.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the late election was closely and bitter
ly contested. Be the result as it may,
no repetition of the Hayes programme
will he attempted. A majority of the
people of this country were long since
DESTROYS of change in the national
administration, and only the powerful
influence of Governmental patronage
has been able to keep the Republican
party ia supremacy SO long. Under
its favoriiism political ringsters have
grown into Titanic managers, who
have perpetrated inf..mies almost with
out parallel.
Since Mr.. CIeveland's nomination we
have never questioned his ability, his
good judgment and sound administra-
tive qualities, and we believe he will
prove himself worthy of the confidence
of great people. No interest, either
agricultural, mercantile, mechanical or
any other of the Industries of the coun-
try, will suffer under his administra-
ton. American manufacturers may
be assured that Mr.. Cleveland is not
imbued with any of the idiotic ideas of
free trade which have so long permin-
ated certain impracticable leaders of
the Democratic party. The Democracy
is not, and never has teen, unit on
the subject of free trade. The few ram
pant oratorial theorists, who are not
possessed of sufficient mechanical in
telligence to white out button for a
barn yard door, have, with the blatant
elcquence of Sioux warrior, vainly at
tempted to theorize on what is best for
the working masses. The career of
these professional politicians, however,
is generally of short duration. The
Democratic party will not and cannot
afford to make any modification of our
tariff laws that will not fully protect
American artisans against the competi-
tive work of foreign nations.
That Cleveland's administration will
be a success, and that spirit of recon.
Citation of all past sectional difference
will specify ensue. we have no doubt,
and We predict that new era of pro-
gressiveness under Democraticr rule will
be manifest in all Southern States, and
that those hitherto down-trodden, car
pet-bag-accursedp people willagain have
an equal chance i'm the affairs of our
national Government. - Manchester

Little by little the fearful safferinga of
the Greedy exploring party ara coming to
light, and shocking exposures of want
and the horrible consequences are coming
to light. One of the party, however,
private Henry, was shot BY order Of
Lieutenant Greedy for stealing the pro-
visions Of the party, to which act he was
doubtless driven by the dire promptings
of hunger. It was, however, necessary
for the preservation of the party that
every resource should be husbanded, and
therefore any man who prevented this
economy Was public enemy, and bis
death under the circumstances was
necessity. The saddest part of the tale,
however, is the fact that the survivors OF
this fated party are conclusively proven
to have been guilty Of cannibalism as
4 means Of subsisting during their terri
BILE experience, and as their companions
died the flesh was taken from their limbs
4 and bodies for the living to maintain
life upon. There is nothing to show that
! there was any foul play in the party, but

brave men sent out by our Government

A Charleston Lady Gives Her Life to
Save Drowning Child.

A tragic occurrence at Sullivan's
Island yesterday afternoon illustrates
anew the heroism and self:sacri6ce of
which woman is capable.
Between 2 and o'clock in the after
noon a number of ch Iren went in
bathing in front of DR.. kinloch's house
on Sullivan's Island. The spot has
always been considered q dangerous one,
sud it is said that several persons have
been drowned near the place. Miss Ella
Benjamin, resident of Charleston, who
was boarding at Mrs. Walkers house,
went in to bathe with the children.
Julian Reid, a little son of Mr.. Lough-
ton R. Reid, was among the children
who we're bathing, and the little fellow got
beyond his depth and was in imminent
danger of losing his life. Miss Benja-
min at once saw the peril, and being a
good swimmer went to his rescue. She
reached the drowning child, caught him
in her arms and held him above the
waves for nearly fifteen minutes until a
boat in which were two colored men
came up.
The little boy was rescued by the col.
ored men, who also made an attempt to
rescue Miss Benjamin. The prolonged
efforts to save the life of the child, how
ever, had evidently exhausted her
strength. Size kept ahoat until the little
boy was safe, and then sank. Every
effort was made to recover her body, but
it vas fully twenty minutes after the
drowning when the search was successful.
At the expiration of that time Miss Bon.
jamin's boy fosted to the surface and
was taken ashore. The body of the lady
will be brought to the city to-day for i'll.
terment.
The information given above was OBJ.
tained from a gentleman who reached
the city on the $3.50 p. m. trip of the
Sappho from the Island last night. The
distressing occurrence has cast a gloom
over the Island, which is not lessened by
the thought that, in Miss BENJAMIN, one
more woman has immortalized herself,
and so added yet another bright page to
the history of woman's love and devo-
tion.-Mews and Courier.

Mormon Massacre.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August IA
dispatch from Centeryille confirms the
murder of the Mormons in Lewis county
by masked men last Sunday morning.
The raiding party numbered about forty.
Thirteen attacked the house of Martin
Condor, where Mormon meeting was in
progress. Forcing the door, they were
encountered by Condor armed with gun.
In an effort to disarm him one of the
raiders was struck with the gun unmask-
ing him, but he drew his pistol and shot
Couder in the bowels. Condor was shot
again by one of the party, with buckshot
and instantly killed. At the same time
another of the attacking party fired upon
a Mormon elder named Gibbs, who was
partly hidden behind the wife of Condor,
killing Gibbs and severely wounding
Mrs. Condor in the thigh. The party
fred again upon Mormon elder named
Berry, who was hiding behind bed,
killing him instantly. Another Mormon
elder in the house, who ran out by the
back door, was pursued by the attacking
party stationed outside. They fred on
him as he ran, but it is not known
whether OF not he was killed. After
killing Berry, the masked men started
out of the house, and just as they got out,
j. R. Hudson fred and killed Dave Hin
son, one of the masked men. One of
the Hinson party stood over the body
and fred two loads of buckshot at Hud-
son, literally riddling him. The Nor.
mons, in fear Of another attack, did not
make a search until Monday, when they
found the Mormon who ran away from
Condor's dead. It is rumored that the
other missing elder has been found dead.
The Mormon elders claim they have been
sent here direct from Utah to make con-
yerts and establish churches.

friends and companions. 1t must have
been q fearful experience. Living far
beyond the haunts of men, with no ade.
quate means Of sustaining life, yet hop.
ing to be rescued, they saw days and
weeks and weary months pass by with
no appearance of rescue, and no means
of supplying their scanty allowance OF
provisions as they were being gradually
consumed. The end began TO draw near,
and death from starvation began to re-
duce the party. Frugal of every possi'
bility of life, the very corpses of their
dead companions we're sparingly dealt
out to the survivors, who lived on and
thought of home, hoping for rescue, and
yet knowing not which one must die next
to afford the means of life to the little
party which was struggling bravely, yet
to all appearances, hopelessly to survive
until some human help might reach
them. The life was but living death in
which the greatest agony was the living.
The extremities of these men are revolt
ing in the extreme, and yet who can
censurei The pity and sympathy Of all
people goes out to the fated men who
have been called on to sacrifice so much
to the ends of science. From these facts
ne are driven to inquire what benefit has
all this beeni It is no doubt gratifying
to scientists to getadditional particulars
of the frozen North, and is source of
pride to the intrepid commander who
can show the flag, as Gree!y did recently,
which has been further North than any
other flag, but all this empty show does
not compensate for the waste of life and
treasure which is involved in an Arctic
expedition.

The largest cotton plantation in AL
ALBANIA is said to be that of Messrs.
Roberts & salter, near Union Springs.
These two young men have in the last
four years cleared over 900 acres of land
and dug 25 miles of bitches. Work on,
the planation is regulated with military
precision, and the Glands" 60 to and
return from labor at the sound of a bell.
The small army of laborers and their
families on the farm, numbering some
800 souls, are comfortably housed and
are apparently very contented. Each
family has its garden apart and raises
pigs, chickens. &c. Although cotton is
the principal crop, q large amount Of
corn is raised for food. Actual expert
ment shows that this crop can he raised
at cost of 10 cents per bushel. 1t IS
estimated that the yield this year will be
900 bales of cotton and $4,000 bushels of
corn, the former worth $40,500 and the
latter $2l, ,25O-total $9l,750. The cost
of making these crops is put at $4,000,
which leave, profit of $33,750. The
number of regular laborers employed is
1872, and there are 159 mules and horses
and 65 farm wagons.
