THE ELECTION.

The election in this county yester-
day was marked by light vote and
no excitement The result vindi
Gated the judgment Of those who
maintained that the white people
were almost unanimously ir favor of
the joint ticket, and that Capt keels
and his followers had little greater
strength than they developed in the
so-called primary of forty-eight votes
The negroes made the greatest effort
they have in several years to poll a
large vote, and the failure to do SO is
proof that very large percentage Of
the negroes have lost interest in po,
litical affairs and cannot be wrought
up and induced to turn out at elec-
tions. Scarcely one-half Of the
registered negro vote was polled yes
terday, Notwithstanding the activity
Of the negro leaders.
The part taken by Capt. b. E.
necls in this election was laid bare
by the election, and all Of his pro-
testations, past and future, will be in
sufficient to remove the belief that he
had made trade with the negroes.
The vote he received here and else
where settles beyond doubt that
there was some sort of understand
ing between Capt Keels and the
negroes, and that Capt keels, MIR.
w. A. James and Mr. J. Z. DuPre
were the beneticiaries of the agree
ment Capt. keels based his hope
of election oil the support the
negroes were to give him. and his
overwhelming defeat is very CRAFTY
ing to all true democrats The
negro leaders were unable to deliver
the goods and Capt Keels failed in
his designs Tie vote considered in
detail shows that Capt keels, MI
James and Mr.. DuPre received the
support Of the negroes. and none Of
them need deny it
The triumph Of the joint ticket is
gratifying to the true democrats Of
Sumter County. inasmuch as it is a
victory of common sense and politi-
cal patriotism over bitter partisan
ship and personal candidates who
placed individual success above all
other considerations That the VIC
tory was so complete and overwhelm
ing but increases the qualification.

JOCKEY CLUE MEETING.
Summe ertime's Race VIII Re Investigated
TerrltOry Extended.

There was u meeting Of the Jockey Club yes
terday afternoon, at which 1t was resolved that
the race ran by the nlly Summertime at St.
Asaph on Friday last should be investigated,
and instructions were forwarded to tho inter-
estcd parties to appear in New York on Thurs
day next. This was before 1t was known that
the Executive Committee Of the Virginia Jockey
Club had ruled off Owner Street and JOCKEY
Naccy
This action on the part of the Virginia Jockey
Club, coming as it does on top of the published
statement of j. NJ. Hill, one OF the owners Of
the track, that the jockey innocent of any
wronGdoing. and that he rode the fily to the best
of his ability, and therefore should not be pun
ished. will excite the ris Utilities of the racing
public. When the iMvestigation is, completed
and Jockey Nucey tells the truth there will be
| an interesting tale unfoded.
The Jockey Club yesterday decided to assume

A LENOX HER PROTESTS.
Miss Kennedy Again Opposes the Sale OF
tho Presbyterian House.

tho Presbyterian House.
Miss Rachael Kennedy OF IL Fifth avenue. ono
of the four surviving heirs OF the Lenox estate,
has entered written protest against the nban-
donmcnt and sale of the Presbyterian House at
53 Fifth avenue. Miss Kennedy's protest was ad-
dressed to the two great benevolent Boards for
Home and Foreign Missions now occupying the
Presbyterian House. 1t Is dated April 90 and
was read at the last meetings Of those Boards.
The protest is made on the ground that tho
erection of the great and costly marble building
at Twentieth street and Fifth avenue by the
Presbyterian Boards and the abandonment
therefore of the old Lenox mansion Is breach
was acquired in 1883 by the Home and Foreign
boards by purchase. the price being 100000.
Miss Kennedy claims that this price was below
the value OF the property. ana that her laini!y
surrendered their equity in the property beyond
refers to beQuest of 81 l000 900 made by her aunt.
which, she says, the two Boards applied toward
the purchase price of the mansion.
She says that while there were no conditions
expressed in the deed OF gift, nor in the actual
sale of the mansion. It was the understanding
that the house should continue forever the
home Of the two Boards as monument to tho
Lenox family. She holds that there was either
an equity in the property unaccounted for by
the Boards, or there was tacit agreement as TO
the use of the house
This protest comes as great surprise to Pres
byterans and to the Boards who are about pre-
pairing to occupy the ,palatial building at Fifth
avenue and Twentieth street, which Is now al
most completed. The subject was discussed az
the Saratoga General Assembly last year. Al
that time the building operations had not be-
gun, and the business OF changing houses could
have been stopped had the assembly SO willed.
