FALL ELECTIONS—THE OUTLOOK.
“Coming events cast their shadows be
fore.” Says the Nashville American: — As
the result of the Presidential canvass is like
ly to be influenced more or less by the fall
State elections, as indicating the drift of
public sentiment, information concerning the
States that are to have elections preceding
the November ballot, becomes interesting.
The first State election is that of North Car
olina, Thursday, August 3, good for the De
mocracy. The next is that of our neighbor
the State of Kentucky, Monday, August 7,
which may be scored in advance for the De
mocracy by a telling majority. The next
three State elections are in Vermont, Califor
nia, and Maine, the sth, 6th and 11th Sept.,
successively, in the order named. Vermont,
which comes first in that month, will go Re
publican. The.election next day following
in California is of importance as significant
of the feeling of the whole Pacific slope. The
parties are pretty equally divided, each claim
ing a majority; and both will struggle earn
estly for success. The Chinese labor ques
tion will enter largely into the State canvass
and may have more influence than national
politics in determining the result. So far as
platform professions go, the Democratic pol
icy seems to have the call with the Pacific
State people. Maine is, of course, Republi
can, but it will be interesting to note the
effect upon the Rpeuhlican majority by rea
son of the defeat of Blaine.
The first State that elects in October is
Georgia, which being emphatically for Til
den, will go Democratic with a shout and a
charge. On the second Tuesday in this
month (Oct. 10,) there will he State elections
in Nebraska, lowa, West Virginia, Indiana
and Ohio. The first two are claimed by the
Republicans, but West Virginia is pretty
safe for the Democratic nominee. Indiana
will now surely go Democratic, and if her
Democratic majority is increased itwill coun
terbalance every probable loss in Ohio. The
last State election prior to the Presidential
election falls on the first Monday of Novem
ber—too near the Presidential election to
affect it in any perceptible degree, though it
will be tbe last “say” before the final and
decisive hug.
Overhauling, for revision, our estimate of
probabilities, made immediately after the
[Cincinnati nominations, let us see in what
light the situation is presented by the St
Louis nominations and platform. The whole
number of Presidential electors to be chosen
is 366 (without Colorado). It will require
184 eleetorial votes to choose a President.
There are fourteen States having 134 electo
ral votes that we will concede to the Repub
licans, though we have hopes of Nebraska,
New Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In
the event of a tidal wave, something like the
log-cabin revolution of 1840, there is no tell
ing how many of these fourteen States might
go for Democratic reform. Per contra, there
are seventeen States having 175 electoral
votes that may be set down as certain for
Tilden and Hendricks. The division of
these thirty-one states is given below, and it
will be observed we concede Ohio to the Re
publicans, and even class Indiana among the
contested States, as follows :
Ho yes $ Wheeler. —lowa, 11 ; Kansas, 5 ;
Maine, 7 ; Massachusetts, 13 ; Michigan, 11;
Minnesota, 5; Nebraska, 3; New Hampshire,
5; Vermont, 5; Ohio, 22; Pennsylvania,
29 ; Rhode Island, 4 ; South Carolina, 7 ;
Wisconsin, 10.—Total, 137.
Tilden and Hendricks. —Alabama, 10; Ar
kansas, 6 ; Delaware, 3; Florida, 4 ; Georgia,
11; Kentucky, 12; Louisiana, 8; Maryland,
8; Missouri, 15; Mississippi, 8; North Car
olina, 10; New Jersey, 9; Texas, 8; Ten
nessee, 12; Virginia, 11 ; West Virginia, 5;
New York, 35.—Total, 175.
In the remaining six States are 54 electo
ral votes, as follows:
Connecticut, 6 ; Illinois, 21 ; Indiana, 15 ;
California, 6 ; Oregon, 3 ; Nevada, 3—54.
The Democratic ticket will require but
nine electoral votes from these half dozen
States to elect, and these are reasonably as
sured from Indiana, if not from the two Pa
cific States. But the Republican ticket must
get 47 electoral votes out of these six States
to elect; this would require nearty all of
them, including Indiana—which is not even
probable. With Hendricks on the ticket we
insist we can rightfully claim, and with cer
tainty, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois, for, in addition to the wide spread hos
tility in those States to the financial policy
of the Republicans, Mr. Wheeler’s prolonged
and determined opposition in Congress to
the Ohio river improvements will greatly
weaken the Republican ticket in all of the
Ohio River States. It cannot be denied but
that the showing is flattering. But this fact
should not beget that over-confidence which
relaxes into apathy. There is still enough
of uncertainty about the ultimate result to
give edge and spice to the conflict, and our
calculations are based on the assumption that
with the mighty and momentous interests at
stake, the opposition to the party in power
will be vigorous and unremitting. We can
afford to take no chances. It may be the
last struggle for liberty on this continent.
tdF’A riot occurred in Hamburg, S. C., be
tween a negro military company and some
white citizens, headed by Gen. M. C. Butler,
in which seven ©r eight negroes were killed
and several more wounded. There was one
white man killed and another wounded. This
occurred on Saturday night last. Peace had
been restored at last advices. This is the
“ beginning of the end.”

Hon. B. H. Hill.
We are permitted to make the following
extract from a private letter from Hon. B. 11.
Hill, dated Washington, D. C., June 27th,
to a gentleman in this place, says the Carnes
ville (Franklin C 0.,) Register of the Bth. It
settles a rumor that has been currently cir
culated, to the effect that he would no longer,
after the expiration of the present session,
be before the people of the 9th Congressional
District. It likewise breathes words of wis
dom such as only “our Ben”—the Ajax of
Southern statesmen—can utter. Read it:
“The rumor that I would decline to serve
the people of the 9th Congressional District,
after the expiration of the present term, is
not correct. I feel under many obligations
to the people of the District, and shall be at
their service as long as they desire me. The
truth is, it requires some training here to en
able a man to get ready to be useful. The
field, here, is a broad one. I have no desire
to remain here for any selfish purpose. In
deed, it is a great loss of both ease and pro
fit for me to be in Congress, but I am wil
ling to do all I can in the great work of re
storing a Constitutional Union on the basis
of Southern honor and manhood.”
The worthy Son of a Noble Sire.
The friends of the Hon. 11, P. Bell—and
they are many—will hear with pride and sat
isfaction, of the success of his son. Mr. G. L.
Bell, a member of the ‘ Kappa Alpha Order,’
who took the prize as the best Essayist, at a
recent convocation of that Order, in Rich
mond, Va. The Clarion, published at Cam
ming, the home of Mr. Bell, explains thusly :
The Kappa Alpha Order, a secret literary
society, composed of members from the va
rious colleges, met in convention, a few days
ago, in Richmond. As we understand, each
society of the Order appoints, or elects, one
of its members to read an essay at the Con
vention of the Order, and that, after a criti
cal examination by competent judges, a fine
medal is awarded to the one who reads the
best essay. This high honor and proud dis
tinction was conferred on Mr. G. L. Bell, his
essay having been one of such superior me
rit, among a number of high literary charac
ter, that the medal was awarded to him.
A Pet Counterfeit.
Seldom have passers of counterfeit money
clung so fondly to one bogus bill as they
have to the imitation $5 notes on the First
National Bank of Northampton, Mass. Since
the second week in May, persistent efforts
have been made in this and other large cit
ies to palm off the pet imitation note of the
utterers of false money. On May 14th a
full description of the bogus bill was publish
ed in our pages, and as the false representa
tive of value still circulates so freely we say
again that these pretended ss, on the First
National of Northampton, Mass., are remark
ably well executed, and are no doubt printed
from the same plates that were used in the
manufacture of the bogus Fives on the First
National Bank of New Bedford. In the Cen
tennial rush strong efforts are certain to be
made to palm off the worthless Northampton
Notes. The safest plan now is to refuse all
five dollar bills purporting to have been is
sued by that institution.— Petersons' Coun
terfeit Detector.
Getting Ready for War.
A New York letter, of Thursday, says ; “ A
cable from London reports that Austria and
France are bujdng heavily of provisions, it
is supposed because of a fear that war can
not be much longer delayed. These reports,
coupled with the aspect of Turkish affairs and
the fall in the British and French funds, have
stiffened gold. Cotton rules quiet and the
bears are pointing to the shipment of ten
bales of new crop from the Rio Grande as in
dicative of a very forward season. They also
regard the Turkish troubles as again threat
ening the peace of Europe, and so between
the Rio Grande shipment of cotton and the
Eastern difficulties, they are disposed to sell
the market down on every favorable oppor
tunity. That the room is generally bearish
is plain to be seen, though the closing figures
show some improvement.
The Heathen Chinee.
Last Monday one of the cars of the excur
sion train from Augusta to Toccoa broke
down, and the occupants of the broken car
sought seats in other cars. Among the un
seated passengers were a number of ladies,
who looked in vain for that gallantry which
Southern gentlemen arc supposed to possess.
But one gentleman offered his seat to a lady,
and that gentleman was a Chinaman! We
believe that it is the rule at the North for
gentlemen to retain the scats for which they
have paid, no matter how many ladies in the
carmay be without seats ; but in the South
a different cwstwu has prevailed, and we re
gret to have to chronicle a breach of this
creditable custom, by a ear load of Southern
gentlemen. A falling off in deference to wo
man is a sure indication of a retrograde civil
ization.—At. Commonwealth.
Nevertheless, notwithstanding, moreover—
some of our good people arc vociferous in
their “ missionerv appeals” in behalf of the
“heathen Chinee.” Brethren, “the Greeks
are upon you!'" — Forest News.
BP Atlanta will be remarkable in spite of
all efforts to the contrary. The Common
wealth, ot Thursday evening, says; Twelve
months since there were two couples married
in this city at precisely the same hour; a
child was born to each at the same hour ; last
week both children died at the same hour,
and were buried at the same hour, in two ad
jacent sections at Oakland cemetery. The
parties are in no wise related, and, we learn,
are not even acquaintances. Mutual friends
have observed and reported these remarkable
coincidences.

FATAL TERMINATION OF AN EMBRYO NE
GRO WAR IN HAMBURG, S. C.
Six Negroes and One White Man Rilled*
Augusta, July 9th.—The riot at Hamburg
terminated disastrously this morning between
two and three o’clock. Six negroes were
killed and three wounded. The killed are
James Cook, town marshal, A. T. Attaway,
Albert Merritt, Moses Parker, Dave Phillips,
and Hamilton Stephens. The wounded are
Butler Edwards, Pompey Curry, and John
Thomas. One white man, Mackey Merri
wether, was killed, and another, Robert Mor
gan, was wounded. After the whites fired
four or five rounds from a piece of artillery,
the negroes retreated from the brick building
into the cellars and out-houses of adjoining
buildings. Fifteen or twenty were captured
and the balance, iucludiug Capt. Doc Adams,
escaped into the country. It is reported that
some of the prisoners were shot after being
captured.
In conversation with Trial Justice Rivers,
colored, this afternoon, he said: “ I was not
in command, and did not call upon the white
citizens to aid me in disarming the negroes.
I tried to avoid difficulty and prevent blood
shed. I advised the officers of the company
to surrender their arms, but they were afraid
and refused. They said they could take care
of themselves. lie said the cause of the dif
ficulty was that on the fourth of July the
company was out on parade in Hamburg, and
would not make way for two men in a car
riage and buggy to pass.
Gen. Mac Butler was employed by Robert
Butler, to prosecute Adams and other promi
nent negroes for obstructing the highway.
On the fourth, Robt. Butler and another citi
zen of Edgefield county, while driving thro’
the town of Hamburg, were interrupted by a
colored militia company, who blocked up the
public highway and prevented them from
proceeding on their way home. Complaint
was made by Butler to Prince Rivers (col.),
a Trial Justice, who summoned witnesses to
investigate the matter. The case was set for
a hearing yesterday afternoon, at 4 o’clock ;
but Rivers did not know until he heard the
evidence, whether he would sit as trial jus
tice, or order a court martial for the trial of
the officers, he being major general of militia.
The day previous, Justice Rivers and Doc
Adams had some angry words, when the lat
ter was ordered under arrest for contempt,
but refused compliance with the order of the
court. Gen. Butler proposed to settle the
matter before the court if he would disarm,
but this proposition was declined and the
case did not come up for hearing. Rivers
adjourned his court and used his influence
with Adams to disarm his men, which he re
fused to do. The company assembled in a
brick building, determined to fight it out.
The white citizens of Edgefield, aided by the
people from the Georgia side, laid seige to
the building about 8 o’clock last night, with
result as above stated.
The unfortunate affair is deplored by all
good citizens of both races, and there is deep
regret that better counsels did not prevail.
The dead were buried to-day. Merriwether
was the first man killed. Crowds of people
from Augusta visited Hamburg. The whites
and blacks intermingled freely; there were
deep regrets, but no threats, that blood had
been shed and that lives were lost. There is
no further trouble anticipated.— Tel. At. Con.
Tribute of Respect.
Whereas, Divine wisdom has seen fit to
afflict this community and envelop the vari
ous schools and societies of Dahlonega in
sadness and gloom, by removing from our
midst by the chilly hand of death our beloved
sister, Miss Julia Wills, whose lovely char
acter, modest and graceful deportment, un
tiring zeal and Christian benevolence have
ever stood as a model for emulation during
her sojourn among us ; therefore, be it
Resolved , That we recognize the power of
God in this, His dispensation of Providence,
and bow with humble submission to llis de
cree, knowing that He doeth all things well.
Resolved . That while the Baptist Sunday
School, the N. G. A. College, the Yahoola
Council, U. F. TANARUS., and the Corona Ilederae
Society have lost a faithful, beloved member,
and humble devoted Christian, heaven has
gained another saint.
Resolved , That we tenderly condole with
the heart-stricken family, thus bereft of their
darling daughter, and tender loving sister,
and devoutly commend them for consolation
in their hour of trial and affliction, to Him
who orders all things for the best, and whose
chastisements are meant in mercy.
Resolved , That while we mourn the loss of
our departed sister, and deeply sj’mpathize
with those who were bound to her by the
nearest and dearest ties, we share with them
the hope of a re-union in that better land,
where there arc no more partings, and bliss
ineffable forbids all tears.
Resolved, That the preamble and resolu
tions, now adopted, be transmitted to the
family of the deceased, spread upon the re
cord of the Baptist Sunday School, preserved
in the archives of the College, recorded in the
minutes of the Yahoola Council, recorded in
the minutes of the Corona Ilederae Society',

A Letter for the Afflicted.
Mr. Editor Dear Sir:— Will you be so kind
as to allow me space in your paper this week for
the publication ol this brief lettes, concerning the
most extraordinary cure that Dr. Greenwade, of
Jefferson, has performed on me. I was taken
some months ago with Dropsy, being swelled from
my feet to my face, as the people of Jefferson all
know, as they saw me when I appeared for treat
ment at Dr. Greenwade’s office. The cure seems
to me to be miraculous, because I never thought
so complete a case of Dropsy could be cured, 'es
pecially one being in such bad health as I have
been in for the past several years.
1 thought proper that the'public should know
this, as there are so many dropsical people in the
county, and as Dr. Greenwade is having most ex
cellent success in the treatment of all old chronic
diseases. I know of a great many that he has and
is curing all over the country. I think the Dr. a
most excellent gentleman as well as a most ex
cellent physician. I will say further that the Dr.
used no strong medicine in curing me. lam now
able to labor in the field.
Yours, most truly, Jos. W. McEntire.

r THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1576.
1- which includes National, State and county
elections, and which will undoubtedly be the most
active and hotly contested of any since the mem
orable canvass of 18(50. is now fairly opened. The
National Democratic Party will this year make
a bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug
gle for the maintenance and supremacy of those
principles which are vital to the prosperity of the
Republic and essential to the well-being of the
people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the peo
ple in Georgia and Florida will elect new State
governments. In Florida the campaign promises
to be unusually vigorous, and there is a proba
bility that for the first time since the war the peo
ple of that Radical-ridden State will elect a Dem
ocratic State government. In these campaigns
the people of the South are deeply interested; and
every intelligent citizen, who has the welfare of
his country and his section at heart, should ac
quaint himself with every detail of the great work
of redemption and reform that is now going on.
To this end he should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the .B’A VANN AH MORNING
-A E II S, an independent Democratic newspaper,
of pronounced opinions and fearless in their ex
pression ; a paper that is recognized everywhere
as the best daily in the South. Its editorial de
partment is vigorous, thoughtful, and consistent,
while its news and local departments are marvels
of industry and completeness. Its department of
Georgia and Florida affairs is not confined to a
mere barren summary of events transpiring in
those States, but is enlivened by comment at
once apt, timely, and raev.
The ample resources of the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
Morning News
with the latest intelligence from all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tele
grams, and by means of special correspondence;
and through these agencies the paper will be the
earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident
of the political campaign of 1876.

LINCOLN BUTTER POWDER
Good l’resli Mutter all the l'ear Rouaii,
Butter in 20 Minutes.
LINCOLN BUTTER POWDER is an entirely
harmless article made from a celebrated English
recipe, and now in daily use by many of the most
noted farmers in the butter counties around Phil
delpliia.
In hot weather this Powder makes butter mu eh
firmer and sweeter than it usually is, andkeepsit
from turning rancid. It also removes the stronp
flavor of turnips, garlic, weeds, cornstalks, cotton
seed, etc.; and the increased yield of butter much
more than pays the trifling expense of using it.
