THE LATEST ELECTION NEWS.
'Siticf otir last issue, the fact is estab
lished, beyond a doubt, that Hamuel J.
Tilden is elected President of the Uni
ted States, and that Radicalism is swept
from every Southern State. Returns
from various States, in which there ran
be no manner of plea for protest, give
hint 184 votes, and with South Carolina,
Florida and Louisiana, which were car
ried by the Democrats, our candidate re
ceives 2<>3 electoral votes, or 18 more
than arc necessary for a choice. The
Radicals are trying to throw out enough
Democratic counties in these three latter
named States to give them to their party,
but leading Democrats from the North
are there watching the count, and will
sec that no frauds are perpetrated. A
late dispatch states that Oregon has gone
Democratic, and ifstlch is the Case, there
will be no plea whatever on which Mr.
Tilden’s election can be contested, as it
would give him two more votes than are
necessary to elect, without the need of
the three contested Southern States.
The following, condensed from the Au
gusta papers of yesterday, gives a sy
nopsis of the latest news :
There has been no change in the polit
ical situation in the last twenty-four
hours. The returns from the heretofore
doubtful States disclose these facts:
In Florida, Tilden and Drew have a
majority of the votes actually cast and
counted.
In Louisiana, Tilden and Nichols have
majorities—the former 8,107, the latter
over 9,000, of the votes actually cast and
counted.
In South Carolina, Hampton lias a
majority from 1,100 to 1,250 of the votes
for Governor actually cast and counted,
but the holding back the returns from
Colleton, Darlington, Kershaw' and Lau
rens, and the claim of the Radicals that
Haves’ majority is 1,200 and Chamber
lain’s something less, go to show that an
attempt may be made to disarrange tli.e
ballots in the boxes from these counties.
No such attempt can be successful, as
the Democrats have the oflicial count
from every precinct in the State.
The case of the Vermont Postmaster,
who was ineligible as an elector on that
account, is considered of sufficient impor
tance to warrant the transmission to the
Vermont Legislature, by the authorities
at Washington, of all the law and stat
utes bearing on the subject. Meanwhile
the affrighted Radicals are frantically
attempting to pick some flaw's in the
electoral tickets of the Southern States.
It will not do. The end of all this is
near.
PRESIDENT TILDEN.
Samuel J. Tilden, oar President elect,
is in many respects one of the strongest
men who have been called to that office
by the people. For eight years we have
had as President a man ignorant of the
science of politics, and with that quality
of stubbornness which oftentimes accom
panies a circumscribed intellectual ca
pacity and a mind untrained to reasoning.
Beiore him we had Andrew Johnson who
also suffered from the lack of mental dis
cipline and the studious habit of a phil
iosophie political thinker. Before him
was Abraham Lincon, a political geni
us and a man cast in a far larger than
the ordinary mould;
Mr. Tilden in the character of his
mind suggests Thouias Jefferson. He
has been from his boyhood a close poli
tical observer and a careful political stu
dent. He has the ability, so essential in
a government, of grasping q tics to ns in
their breadth and also of taking them in
their details. His legal experience has
been that of a counsellor in great opera
tions rather than as a pleader or a rou
tine lawyer. His clear head, astute per
ception, sound judgment, common sense
and rare executive capacity have been
prised by the organizers of corporate en
terprises of the country, and he has for
years been accustomed to deal with oper
ations vast in their scope, and requiring
for their intelligent management excep
tional power and skill.
There is not a man in the country
more familiar with the history of our
politics, the diversified interests of the
country, its public men, and the tone of
the people of the different sections, and
who has more mature views in regard to
them, than Samuel J. Tilden.
He is essentially a conservative man.
No one need fear any rash experiments
under his Administration. No one need
tremble at the possibility of his making
assaults on the results achieved by war.
He is also a man who is capable of using
the strong points of his adversaries to his
advantage* and incorporating what is
sound in their policy in that which he
will himself persue. We foresee for Mr.
Tilden an administration which will be
conciliatory, but not yielding, and doubt
not that his career at Washington will
be undisturbed by rancors, and unembit
tered by enmities except such as he shall
invite from individual officials whose cor
rupt practices he shall expose and pun
ish.
Mr. Tilden will go into the White
House with a noble ambition to win last
ing fame as the President who harmoniz
ed a country distracted by sectional ani
mosities, who made stronger than ever
the bonds that hold together the Union,
and who helped to swell the tide of his
countrymen’s prosperity. llis aims are
statesmanlike, his mind is of the states
manlike build, and his training well fits
him for the high place to which the peo
ple have elevated him. Samuel J. Til
den will doubtless go down to history as
one of our strongest Presidents.—A'. F.

—The “ Pigeon Roost” gold mine,

mouth-watering manner. Outofthirty
five pennyweights of ore it yields twenty
five of pure gold.
—Parson Felton is re-elected in the 7th
district over Wm. H. Dabney. Floyd
county even refused to support her owm
son, hut gave 200 majority for the rever
end disorganizer.
—The Chronicle and Sentinel says it is
rumored the Isham Fannin, infernal re
venue collector of that district, will be
the Radical candidate for Mayor of Au
gusta at the approaching election.
—Now that the yellow fever has about
disappeared, the Savannah doctors are
waging in the papers a terrific war upon
one another. The English language is
the only real sufferer from the new
plague.
—Gen. Toombs should he happy. He
helped to defeat the regular Democrat in
the Seventh District and redeemed his
fame from the imputation that when lie
favored a man the man was sure to be
beaten.
—A suit of clothes one hundred and
eleven years old was exhibited at the
Brick Store fair the other day. We’ve

—The Enquirer says Griffith Pitikard,
a negro, died in that city last week, aged

of his former master.
—We learn from the Meriwether Vin
dicator that “ Uncle” Isaac McGehee, a
good old darkey, died in that county last
week, aged 120 years- He not only had
often seen and knew G. W., but actually
turned the grindstone upon which G. W.,
sharpened his little hatchet preparatory
to going for that cherry tree.
—Macon Telegraph: The only case of
intimidation and violence that came to
our knowledge yesterday occurred in
Sandy Bottom. A colored man residing
in that suburb went to the polls and voted
the Democratic ticket. AVhen he went
home his wife assailed him with an axe,
striking him in the head, producing inju
ries which may possibly prove fatal. It
was reported last evening that the man
was dyad.
—The Dahlonega Advertiser attempts
to pull the wool over the innocent pub
lic’s eyes with the following : “We were
informed by one of our citizens some
days ago, that he was forced to kill a pet
or yard lamb, because of the frequent
and destructive raids made upon his
poultry yard by that seemingly harmless
animal. It is strange, but nevertheless
true, that hardly a day passed, but what
this pet lamb would kill and eat from one
to two chickens, with as much relish as a
hawk would.”
—ln Fayette county one negro is on the
way to get his forty acres and a mule—
David Hopgood, a colored man. He has
always voted the Democratic ticket, and
a few days ago his white neighbors made
up enough money to purchase him a
good mule, and he is to be furnished
with the forty acres. The beauty of this
gift is, that no promises were made to in
duce Hopgood to vote, but his general
good conduct was rewarded in this way.
The colored men are fast learning that
their best friends are their old neigh
bors.
—The Augusta Constitvtionlwt says :
The body ot Solomon Levine, who dis
appeared so mysteriously, was found yes
terday afternoon about two miles from
Bath Paper Mills, S. C., on the Augusta
road. It was much mutilated by bullets.
The parties who saw the body concluded
that Levine had been murdered. Le
vine’s wagon was near the body. The
unfortunate man’s head was missing, and
up to last accounts had not been found.
All the flesh had been eaten from the
body and only the bones remained. A
hatchet was discovered near by, stained
with blood. The body was found bv a
son of Del Parnell, who lives between
Bath aud Horse creek.
—The Washington Gazette says a large
number of negroes living in the lower
part of Wilkes county had a Sunday
school celebration and barbecue one day
this week. Everything passed off
pleasantly until a short time after dinner,
when many of the negroes commenced
yelling and screaming, “Oh, Lord!
Oh, doctor! I’sepizened! I’se pizened !”
It appears that the farmers in the neigh
borhood have been missing their hogs
and sheep for some time past, and had
determined to catch the thieves by feed
ing several of their hogs on strychnine.
This was done, which accounts for the
unearthly yells and the big commotion
among the aforesaid negroes on their
“ day of jubilee.” Some eight or ten, we
learn, are still in a very precarious con
dition.
Sentenced to the Pentintinry.
The case of Jeffers, charged with kill
ing Colonel Spencer in Linn, Osage coun
ty, .Missouri, on the 17th of April last,
came up for a second trial at Linn last
week. The prisoner was found guilty of
murder in the second degree, and sentenc
ed to the penitentiary for twelve years.
Spencer published a newspaper in this
city called the Evening Express, for a few
months, a short time before the war.
From Savannah he went to Amerieus,
and after the war he published a book on
the Andersonville prison, in which he
compiled all the horrible stories of South
ern cruelty invented by the Radical press.
He was the nephew of the Spencer who
was in President Tyler’s Cabinet, and a
cousin of the Spencer who was hung by
Commodore McKenzie on the United
States s!oop-of-wnr Somers, having been
detected in a conspiracy to capture the
vessel and turn pirate.
—A large army of Federal officers are

STONE FORCE PUMP
ONE that at the start brings the water pure,
fresh and cool, as it is in your well. No
stale water standing in it. No slime or filth
collects on or in it. No snails or worms from
wooden piping. Is free from rust or other
impurities, and discharges the water much
faster than any other Pump. It works with
ease—a small child can operate it. It is of
stone, glazed on inside and outside like glass,
and cannot wear out or decay. Thoroughly
ventilates your well, airs the water, and
makes it like living, moving water. Im
proves the water more than if there was no
Pump in the well. With hose attached, it
becomes a Fire Engine, ever readv at your
door, reducing the risk from fire and the pre
mium on insurance. Is easy to keep in re
pair, and works with two-thirds the power
required by any other Pump of same capacity.
Gives universal satisfaction, as all our nume
