WASHINGTON. Nov. lS.-All information
from the ssyelth South Carolina District,
now represented by Mr.. smslls (colored),
goes to show that the Democrats oi that
district are entitled to the chanplon's belt
for fraud in the recent elections. The
legitimate Republican majority there Ia

his opponent, $50 majority, There was no
trouble among Republicans, and no unua.

County, which contains twenty-five voting
precincts, the County Cauvasser counted
the yotes Of seventeen precincts which
gayA Elliott q tntsl OF 1850 votes, and
smallsa total Of 099 votes, aud refused to
count the yolea oil seven precincts which
gave Ellott total OF l0S, and smalls
total OF 1878 votes.
The remaining precinct, which usually
casts six hundred Republican votes, was
no. opened at all. Mns,er House Precinct,
which gave Smalls two hundred majority,
was thrown out or the ground that the
Democratic Supervisor Of Registration did
not send the registration book to the pre-.
CnCt 80 that the certified list Of votes
could be compared Herewith.
In various counties where the Commic-
sioners OF Election we're all Democrats
and the voters largely Republican, vari.
ous minor provisions Of the election law
wero pnrposely neglected, and subsequent

count in these precincts and had them
thrown out. In Beaufort county, where
smslls received majority Of 1900, three
Of the largest Republican precincts were
objected 70 by Elliott. These precincts
gave him los votes and smalls 775 votes.
In orangsburg county, Fort Mott Precinct

EX.PREslDgNT Arthur passes away at

Ex.pREslDENT Arthur passes away al
the age when . man should bein the
prime Of lie with years Of usefulness be-
ioro him, Until disease fastened upon
him his life had been busy and full, By
NO means the diaHoluts man which some
unirieudly pens have portrayed him, he
was high liver ut the expense Of his
health,
Mr., Arthur had q devoted circle Of
friends who cav side Of him which was
not turned to tho public, and these friends
were cultivated gentlemen, An impress
sion has gone abroad that Mr.. Arthur's
iutimstes were the "boya" who ran with
the political machine, It ia not to be de-
MED that he updsrstood the politics Of the
city Of New York in their details, and be-
fore going to Washington had close rels-
tons with the captains Of tens and OF
hundreds, but these were not the men
who found Mr.. Arthur q delightful COM
pSnlou.
CONTRARY again to the general idea, he
wasa widely, ii not deeply, read man.
He had familiar acquaintance with the
best things in literature, and he kept up
with the current. HO had great dignity
olbearlng which, in the White House, he
rarely relaxed, except in the presence OF
his most intimate friends, The general
public ionud him reserved to coldnees,
though not aulteEe, and always tue pol
ished gentleman.
Asapubllc man on tho plane Of Ma
tional affairs Mr., Arthu's career began
when the Republican convention, bowing
to the will ot Mr., UOnkling, nominated
him for Vice.PretidGnt. He was placed
on the ticket 10 placate an element OF the
party which had been defeated in the con-
venllon, but was very powerful In the
field A Republican convention would
not have thought Of nominating him for
President, for he had achieved no place
In tho party outside Of his oSn State, and
there hiu distinction was rs an organizer
OF partisan forces.
When he made his! .!Camps!gn for q
second term It was still remembered that
his nomination to the second place on the
ticket was out Of the line Of tue party's
practice, and the convention emphasized
lts idCa by placing on the ticket two men
OF approved eervice and capacity IN Nd
tionll Affairs.
AsPresident Mr., Arthur will not stand,
Of course, among tho great Chief Magis-
trates. But this ought to be said for him,
that he we'll maintained the personal dig.
nifty Of the Office; that he went through
his administration clesn.handsd; that he
exerted his full power to bring to Justice
dishonest men in his own party. His I'D.
miniBtration was not characterized by any
new and important measure, but his term
OF office was an agreeable surprlae to those
OF hls own party who looked forward to 1t
with come apprehension.
President Arthur inspired the country
with respect for him, and he will be
mourned as one who, all things considered,
succeeded remarkably well in a trying
situation to which he was suddenly called
without the preparation which fits mon to
preside over nations.
