Sound Advice to Carolinians—The
V ictora Must be Magnanimous.
The following has just been issued:
To the People of the State :
In offering to our people my heart -
felt congratulations and gratitude for
the grand victory they have won, I
venture to beg them to prove them
selves worthy of it by a continued
observance of good order and the
rigid preservation of peace. Let us
show that we seek only the restora
tion of good government, the return of
prosperity and the establishment of
harmony to the whole people of our
State. In the hour of victory we should
be magnanimous, and we should strive
to forget the animosities of the contest
by recalling the grand results of our
success; proscribing none for differen
ces of opinion; regarding none as our
enemies save such as are inimical to
law and order. Let us all unite in the
patriotic work of redeeming our State*
By such conduct we can not only bring
about good feeling among all classes,
but can most surely reap the best
fruits of victory.

Hog Cholera Caused by Lack of Shel
ter.
Seven years ago the disease went
through this vicinity, commencing in
the mouth of September; and every
herd, with two exceptions, suffered—
those two were treated no better than
the rest, only they had good shelter
and were well bedded. Our herd at the
time numbered about one hundred
head of yearling hogs and as many
more spring pigs, of which we lost
about one-half. They were running on
taine grass pasture, with a grove in it,
and a creek of pure water running
through it; had corn all summer, and
had commenced feeding on new corn.
This disease broke out among hogs, as
with our neighbors, just after cold
rains. Since this experience we have
provided good, high-posted well venti
lated sheds, and kept them well bed
ded and dry at all times of the year,
and have lost no more hogs from
cholera, thumps, or auy other disease.
We use no preventive medicines and
are raising 150 head yearly.— Chicago

A QUEEHPObTAL.
The following was written and sent by a
distinguished clergyman to his mother re
cently. The message was on the back of a
postal card:
Dear Mother:
From sweet Isaiah’s sacred song, ninth chap,
ter, and verse six.
First thirteen words please take and then
the fol’owing affix:
From Genesis, the thirty-fifth, verse seven
teenth, no more;
Then add verse twenty-six of Kings, book
second, chapter four,
The last two verses, chapter first, first book
of Sam-uel,
And you will learn what on this day your
loving son befell.
The collected texts make the following
message;
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son
is given. And it came to pass when she
was in hard labor that the midwife said unto
her, “Fear not; thou shall have thi9 son
also. Run, now, I pray thee, to meet her,
and gay unto her, is it well with thee; is it
well with ti.y husband; is it well with the
child? And she answered, It is well. For
this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given
me my petition which I asked of him.
Therefore, also, I haye lent him to the Lord;
as long as he liveth h shall be lend to the
Lord. And he worshipped the Lord there.

The Augusta T.M, Library Association.
The library room is a pleasant resort for
all ages and classes of readers, both by day
and by night. It is now open every day in
the week, except Sunday, from 8 o’clock in
the morning until 10 at night. It is well
supplied with daily and weekly papers,
periodicals, illustrated papers, and has on
its shelves over five thousand volumes of
entertaining and instructive books; and
now if its mem beys and patrons aye willing
to carry out the rules enacted for its good
by a Board of Directors of their own choos
ing, the library room will continue lo prove
inviting to scores of readers. Among tl.e
most important of these rules is the one
that perfect order and silence should be ob
served and maintained in the library, and that
readers may be allowed to study or read
without let or hindrance. A public library
is not a place for social gatherings, or a
place in which disputations or conversations
aye permissible, but a place for silent reading
or study. May the Augusta young Men’s
Library Association continue to prosper,
until it shall become an institution in which
the whole State shall feel a deep and abid
ing interest.

THE RADICALS DESPERATE-THE

Hampton’s Official Majority-Tilden
Doubtful-Another Louisiana Trouble
Expected.
’[Special to the Constitutionalist ]
Columbia, S. C., November 11, 1876.
All the counties have been heard
from officially. A final announcement
will not vary one hundred votes from
the following: Hampton 24,288; Cham
berlain 22,952. Tilden looks doubtful.
The State Board of Canvassers are in
session. They will certaidy make
trouble as a majority are candidates
for re-election and will stop at nothing.
Counsel for Democratic candidates ap
peared before them this evening and
entered formal protest against their
jurisdiction and in relation to decisions
already made. Many notices of con
test are already filed by both sides.
The Radicals are desperate and reck
less and Louisiana will be repeated.

The last two remaining companies of

advice of Gov. Chamberlain’s hench
man, U. S. District Attorney Corbin, re

From this action we naturally imagine
some rascality is being plotted.

Charleston, November 11.—By the
latest corrected official returns, Hamp
ton’s majority is 1,484. The full re
turns indicate that Tilden has falleo
much inoie behind Hampton’s vote
than has been supp osed. In 10 out of
32 counties Tilden’s majority is 453 less
than Hampton’s. An equal ratio of
loss in the remaining 22 counties would
leave Tilden less thaq 100 majority rip
the State.
Charleston, November 11.—The offi
cial majorities in all the counties,
compiled from the returns of the pre
cinct managers,are given in an extra of
the News and Courier to-night, showing
1,460 majority for Hampton. In 12
counties out of 32 Tilden’s vote was
687 behind Hampton’s. It is believed
now that the vote for electors will be
very close indeed, The Board of State
Canvassers at Columbia to-day con
sidered the question whether they had
revisory jurisdiction over the returns.
Attorney-General Stone and another
member of the Board, not candidates
for re-election, opposed the claim and
contended that their duty was simply
to aggregate and declare the result re
ported to them from the poqntles.
The rest of the Board, however, voted
otherwise and their decision was against
this view. Gov. Chamberlain still
claims the State for the Republicans

Florida.
Jacksonville, November 11.—Distant
counties in this State are still to be of
ficially heard from in regard to the
election results. Up to this time they
can ouly be estimated, as there are no !
facilities for telegraphic communica- !
tion with them.
New York, November 11.—A dispatch !
was received at Democratic headquar-1
ters to-day from Lake City, Fla., stat
ing that eighteen counties gave a Dein- [
ceratic majority of 5,513, and that nine
counties gave a Republican majority
of 6,867. The remaining nine counties ,
to be heard from gave a Democratic
majority in 1874 of 1,906.
Louisville, Ky„ November 11.—The
Chairman of the Democratic State Ex
ecutive Committee at Monticello, Fla.,
says the most careful estimates on the
figures of 1874 in the counties not heard
from, and the returns actually in, show
a Democratic majority surely. The
counties not yet heard from are all
Democratic, and will give large gains.
The majority cannot fall short of 1,200.
Tallahassee, Fla., November 11.—
Nearly all the counties have been
heard from and the State is unques
tionably Democratic by at least 1,000 !
majority.
Lake City, No vem ber 11.—Dia patches

ty Republican majority of 135’and Wal

ic majority, 480.
New York, November 11.—The fol
lowing dispatches have just been re

Jacksonville, Fla., November 11.—
The returns coming in from the Dem
ocratic counties show an increased ma
jority over former reports, Walton
county gives 600 majority, an increase
of over 100. It is certain that the pre
cinct returns show a majority of be
tween 1,000 and 2,000 for Tilden.
Louisiana.
New Orleans, November
turns from all except seven parishes,
which are estimated, show a Demo
cratic majority of over 8,000.
Ex-Governor Pinchback, in an inter
view to-day, said that, if the returns so
far received are correct, the Democrats
have certainly carried the State.
Chester B. Darrall is re-elected to
Congress in the Third District, and J.
E. Leonard, Republican, is elected in
the Firth District. The other Con
gressional districts elect Democrats.
The indications are that the Demo
crats will have a majority of three or
four in the Senate and fifteen in the
House. The next Legislature elects
two United States Senators. It was
claimed by Col. Packard’s opponent
that he would run behind his ticket,
but the figures show only a slight dif
ference between the votes for Hayes
and those for Packard.

St. Petersburg,says the Golos publishes
a speech delivered by the Czar in Mos
cow yesterday in reply to an address of
citizens. The Czar said, during his
entire reign his energies have been di
rected to maintain the right and jus
tice for Eastern Christians. Unfortu
nately, his pacific efforts have been in
vain. A conference of the powers is
now about to meet at Constantinople.
Russia would maintain her demands
now. Acquiescence would compel Rus
sia to take up arms. In that event he
reckoned on the support of his sub
jects. The speech was received with
enthusiastic cheers.
The Turkish Question.
Vienna, November 11.—Reports from
Turkish sources state that the Porte
has raised several objections to the
projected conference and has instruct
ed its London ambassador to commu

Lord Beaconsfield, asserting that all
the powers had assented to the con
ference, is criticised in diplomatic cir

The Times to-day priuted a special

ton. The general Recovery from the
lowest point of the market in spring is
now fto 9 pounds per ton. Transac
tions have been very large, with the
market more excited than it has been
since 1863. The movement arises from
the certainty of the French belt root
crop beiug much smaller than was an
ticipated qnd the rapid advance upon

good coffee available brought high
rates. Cotton is ugqjq dearer and the

Murder Will Out —The Assassin of
Maggie Bauer Discovered.
In August last tbe mutilated body of
a iittle girl uamed Maggie Bauer was
found in the woods near her parents’
dwelling, on long Island, N. Y. On
Wednesday last a young man named
Frank McCenochie, who was arrested
several weeks ago on suspicion of be
ing the murderer of the child, was
taken to the place where the murder
was eomraitted. Arriving at the place
where the body was founfi he was im
mediately struck with horror and re
morse, He oould stand out in his de
nial no longer, but made a full confes
sion not only of the crime, but of the
manner in which he committed it. He
also showed where the deed was ootn
i rnitted, and the way iu which he accom-
I plishetl it. His pttrfaiive was as fol
i lows;
On the afternoon of the 14th of Au
gust, when the murder was committed,
he was in a corn Held at the time when
Maggie vyent to show Kate Hoffman
| the way through the woods to the Val
ley Stream depot. He saw them both
j go past the corn field, watched Mag-
I gio’s return, and as she got opposite to
■ him he sprang out at her and grasped
! her by the throat to prevent her from
! making a noise, the poor ohild mean
-1 while crying, “Mai mat”
At this point in the confession the
mother of Maggie, who was present,
sprang upon the prisoner with the fe
rocity of a tigress, grasped him t>v the
throat and would ho doubt have chok
ed jjitQ to death but for the interposi
tion of the officer, who could with dif
ficulty keep her away fpom the mur
derer of her child,
McQoncohie continued: Arter chok
ing Maggie he kept his grasp upon her
throat and carried her through the
corn field to the woods, where he at
tempted to violate Rey person, and
crammed leave* and the oorner or her
bouue| into, her mouth, tying the striqg
together about her neck. He also took
her waißt-ribbor\ auti vied it tightly
around iier neck which completed the
work of murder. He afterwards broke
down some cefiar limbs so that he could
find fhc body after dark, for the pur
pose of hiding it more effectually, but
when darkness come on he was afraid
to go near the place. The regular ex
amination of the prisoner will take
place on Monday ut.

cretly furnished him with spending
money to frolio on. To-day she weeps
tears of unavailing agony. Who can
toll a mother's woe who has a son in
prison charged with murder ! Mothers
make your boys obey you, if you have
to thrash them till beards grow on

had a mother that would make him
obey her. *
