The general opinion of politicians
now seems to bo that Ohio and In
diana will vote in November as they
did in October, and that the party
which carries New York will win the
Presidentialjraoe.
The Louisville Courier-Jour rial in
sists that a motion to withdraw
Hayes has really been entertained
by Radical leaders slnco the Ohio
and Indiana elections, but thinks
that they will not venture to doit,
on account of the short time now
allowed. It says it was Zach Chan
dler’s scheme.
We have alluded to the unfair ap
portionment laws of Indiana, by
which the Radicals, though beaten
over five thousand votes in the con
test for Governor and other State of
ficers, have been enabled to elect a
majority of the Congressmen and
probably the Legislature. Tho In
dianapolis Sentinel says that under
these apportionments tho Demo
crats must have a majority of 17,000
of the popular vote in order to con
trol the Legislature and have a ma
jority of the Congressmen.
We copy some affidavits in refer
ence to the murder of whites by the
negroes at Gainhoy, near Charleston.
The News also publishes verbal state
ments by a number of eye-witnesses,
white and black, all agreeing that
the negroes commenced the conflict
and that they had arms concealed in
a house and in the woods near by—
and this after they had agreod with
the Democrats to carry no arms.
The whole testimony and all the cir
cumstances show that it was a delib
erately planned conspiracy to get the
whites into an ambush unarmed and
kill a number of them ; and there is
scarcely a doubt that white Radicals
planned the whole thing.

The Atlanta Constitution of Thurs
day announces that hereafter Capt.
E. P. Howell and H. W. Grady will
be on its editorial staff. The pre
mature report that Col. Clarke had
sold his Interest in the Constitution
appears to have been substantiated.
Mr. Grady is well known as one cf
the readiest, spiciest and most enter
taining writers for the Georgia press;
and Capt. Howell, who is now a State
Senator, is one of the ablest and
most promising young politicians
and lawyers in the State. Wo wish
the Constitution a long continuance,
and even au improvement, of the
prosperity and distinction which it
has heretofore enjoyed, and we doubt
net that it will attain it with such
able editorial acquisition.
The Tammany Hall division of the
New York city Democracy made their
nominations for local officers on
Thursday. No nominations for Anti-
Tammany are yet reported, and we
are led to hope by the announce
ment of Morrissey’s withdrawal from
that organisation, that it will make
no nominations. The general esti
mate is that Tammany has about
two-thirds of the Democratic votors
in the city, and Anti-Tammany the
other third. It was upon this esti
mate that the basis for a division of
offices was agreed upon—an agree
mentfound to be impracticable when
they undertook to carry out its de
tails. The following are the nomina
tions of the Tammany wing: Smith
Ely, jr., for Mayor; Bernard Reilley,
for Sheriff; Deiaud C. Calvin, for
Surrogate; Henry A. Gumbleton, for
County Clerk; John J. Friedman, for
J edge of the Superior Court. Nomi
nations for Coroners and Aldermen
at large, were also made.
Sugar.— The New Orleans Demo
crat thinks that the era of cheap su
gar passed away with the era of slave
labor, and that the prico in the future
is more likely to be higher than low
er than at the preseut. The Demo
crat says on this subject: “The
truth is, sugar has not yet come down
to free labor prices. We have no
slave cotton producing countries
with which to compete, and there
fore we can still control that market;
but in sugar, it is different. Fifty
years ago all the sugar of the world
was produced by slave labor. Jamai
ca, Porto Rico, Cuba, Mauritius,
Louisiana and Brazil, all used slave
labor, in its production. Since
emancipation has swept this labor
away, the price of sugar has doubled,
as compared with all other products;
it must increase still greater when
slavery shall be wholly extinguished,
whether appearing in the form of
genuine slavery as in Cuba, or as ap
prenticeship or eoolieism as in Ja
maica and Mauritius. It is the con
tinuance of it that keeps sugar still at
an artificially low price.”
James G. Taliaferro, Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of
Louisiana, died last Friday at Har
risonburg, Catahoula parish. He
was nearly eignty-four years of age
at the time of his death.
••A HOMO SOUTH "
At the North the Radicals have for
some time been trying to frighten tho
good people with the bugaboo that
tho South is about to got control of
the Federal Government and run it
lu tho Interest of this section—espe
cially in the interest of tho “rebels”
and their “olaiins.” They say that
the South is “solid” for Tlldcn and
Hendricks, and if they are elected
will dictate the policy of tho new Ad
ministration. This charge is not
only false, but ridiculously false.
The South did not even present
to tho St. Louis Convention a
candidate for the nomination for
either tho Presidency or Vice
Presidency. It has not pre
sented or desired to present a candi
date for either for the last sixteen
years. It has not only supported
Northern men, but the most earnest
Union men of the North—even tak
ing Liberal Republicans in 1872. It
Is now supporting Northern Demo
crats whoso fidelity to the Union can
not be questioned,fand who are men
of too much decision and firmness
to bo swayed by any soctional influ
ence or interest—much less in oppo
sition to their own section.
But if the South is to be “solid”
for Tilden and Hendricks, why is it
that the whole available army of the
United States is now overrunning
South Carolina ? Why is it that ne
gotiations are reported for overrun
ning Louisiana in the same way?
Clearly because these two aro regard
ed as the Southern States which can
most easily be carried for Hayes and
Wheeler with tho help of tho Federal
army. This is the whole secret of
this movement of troops and of the
instructions of Attorney General
Taft to the United States Marshals.
The administration at Washington,
while trying to scare tho North with
tho spectro of a “solid South,” has
determined that the South shall not
bo solid if military power can pre
vent it. It will carry a “solid South”
for Hayes and Wheeler if Taft’s ma
chinery can do it; but at all events
it is resolved to procure for them the
votes of one or two Southern States
by Cameron’s machinery. The cry
of a “solid South” is a mockery and
a falsehood, and those who make it
aro using means to secure Southern
votes such as none but a Radical ad
ministration ever thought of using
in this country.
.MANAGEMENT VN. VOTES.
The Presidential election, it is now
apparent, is to be very closely con
tested, and so nearly balanced are
the chances regarded by shrewd pol
iticians, that bets in the New York
“pools” are reported even on the
general result. Never since 1860
have Democratic prospects been con
sidered so good after the October
elections, l'ho cause of this equili
brium is the general apprehension
that there are now only about half a
dozen “doubtful” States, and not
only is tho estimated Electo
ral vote, leaving out theso States,
about equally divided, but the
chances of tho two parties in the
doubtful States are also considered
about even. In this condition of the
field on the very evo of the great con
test, it is plain that superior political
sagacity is likely to be more effective
than a small majority of the votes.
Tho energies of the two parties ure
now to be concentrated. The leaders
must know which States to surrender
as hopeless as woB as which can
most certainly bo carried by re
doubled exertions. This is tho time
for the display of the tactics of the
managing politician. The Demo
crats must decide whether they will
concentrate their efforts to get their
few lacking votes upon Pennsylva
nia, or upon New Jersey an# the
closer New England States, or upon
California, Oregon and one or two
of the Northwestern States. The Re
publicans must determine whother
they make a fight for New York and
Indiana, or,abandoning these, double
their efforts to carry the other States
just mentioned. The party which
best applies its means to its abilities
in the choice of these doubtful States
as fields of operation, will be the
party most likely to win the
great fight; and this is what
wo mean by the superiority of
party management to party votes.
Gonpel Truth.
A writer in the Freeman’s Journal,
discussing the Presidential campaign,
makes use of these memorable
words: "In my estimation there has
been no more important election in
this country since 1800, the year in
which Mr. Jefferson was elected to the
Presidency, excepting, perhaps, that
ot 1860, the results of which are
familiar to us ail. Can you conceive
of a more appalling calamity which
oould befall this unfortunate country,
at this time, than the loss of the re
form party’s majority in the House
of Representatives ? It would be a
ratification of all the extravagance
and corruption which have disgraced
the past. It would bo virtually
saying to the robbers v?ho have so
long held the country prostrate
at their feet—proceed with your
work of destruction; you have au
thority to assign and deliver to your
friends all that remains unstolen of
the public lands and other property,
to tux the impoverished people to
your heart's content, and to do what
ever else in the premises you may see
fit. I believe it would be the bell
which would summon the country to
prepare for general bankruptcy. Pes
tilence and famine would bo welcome
visitors in comparison with it. Sure
ly merciful heaven will spare us such
an affliction.
“I say, therefore, in full view of the
work which is before us, let us strain
every nerve and leave no honorable
means untried to bring to the ballot
box the very last vote for the Tilden
and Hendricks reform ticket, and let
us rest satisfied with nothing less
than that, for in that alone lies our
safety.
“That good friend of the human
race, the author of that mavel of
State papers—the Declaration of In
dependence—among other valuabie
legacies, left us this: ‘The people
must make their selection between
economy and liberty on the one hand,
and profusion and servitude on the
other.’ ”
Charles Feno Hoffman, the poet, is
not dead, but hopelessly insane and
confined to a private asylum.

TUB CAIXHOY MURDBRS.
Sworn Statement*.
The following affidavits were made
yesterday by gentlemen who were
on the field and saw the commence
ment and end of the fight:
State op South Carolina, )
Charleston County. j
Personally appeared George Rivers
Walker, who being duly sworn says:
I was at the Brick Church on the 16th
of Ootober, 1876. I first saw the
negroes firing with muskets into un
armed whites, or men with pocket
pistols only. I saw Abraham Smith,
trial justice, colored, firing three
shots at running men, who appeared
unarmed. After the first volley thero
was a cessation for a short while. C.
C. Bowen, Republican, offered to go
with any white man umongthe ne
groes and pacify them. I volun
teered. We wont among them;
Bowen told them to “stop this.’’
There was no tiring at this time.
Cyrus Gaillard ran past Bowen and
myself and urged and incited the
negroes to begin firing again. They
did so, and began after a few shots
to fire at me, though I had gone
among them at the invitation of their
leader, C. C. Bowen, as a) peace
maker. How I escaped in safety,
dodging among the trees, is more
than a miracle to me. The whites
being ulrnost unarmed made little or
no resistance. I saw the wounded
men brought in hacked so that most
of them must die, with a hatchet or
some blunt instrument, while left on
the field. G. R. Walker.
Sworn to before me this 17th Octo
ber, 1876. Thomas Frost, Jr.,
Notary Public.
State of South Carolina, !
Charleston County. )
Personally appeared J. C. Boyce,
who being first duly sworn, testified
as follows: I saw the first shot fired
at the Brick Church, St. Thomas and
St. Dennis, cn the 16th of Ootober,
1876. lam positive it was fired by
the negroes. No gun was seized by
the Butler Guards until the negroes
with cocked muskets were advancing
on the whites. J. 0. Boyce.
Sworn to before me this icth of
October, 1876.
Geo. Rivers Walker,
Notary l’ublllc.
State of South Carolina, I
Charleston County. )
Personally appeared before me,
George Rivers Walker, a notary pub
lic duly commissioned and sworn in
and for the State of South Carolina,
William 8. Venning, Jr., who
being first duly sworn, deposes os
follows: On tho 16th day of Octo
ber, A. D. 1876, I was at the Briok
Church, St. Thomas and St. Dennis;
it was before the arrival of the Dem
ocrats. C. C. Bowen had arrived in
advance of them. Tho negroes had
almost all arrived, and were mostly
armed with muskets. I heard tho
negroes say : If Delany speaks we’ll
have a row and take him down. C.
C. Bowen said distinctly in my hear
ing: “Conceal your muskets.” They
(the negroes) at once did so until the
row began, when they jerked them
out and began firing on the whites,
who were mostly unarmed, and those
who were armed only with pocket
pistols. I saw tho row begin. The
negroes suddenly ran for their arms
and began charging the whites with
muskets at full cock before a shot
was fired. And I solemnly state that,
it is my firm belief that they fired
first. I was in a position to see the
contrary had it occurred, aud I am
sure the negroes fired first; but even
were I wrong, no white man fired
until the negroes were advancing on
them with muskets presented as
aforesaid.
W. S. Venning.
Sworn to before me, this 16th day
of October, A. D. 1876.
Geo. Rivers Walker,
Notary Public.
THE SITUATION LAST NIGHT.
When the reporter left Cainhoy
last night, tho white citizens who
had left for Cainhoy on Monday
night had returned to tho city, hav
ing been relieved by a bod v or about
seventy-five gentlemen from the
city, who remained there all night to
guard the women and children. Dr.
Horlbeek remained at the village.
Dr. Simmons returned to the city.
Up to the hour of the departure of
the steamer no negroes were seen in
the neighborhood. It was supposed
that they had all collected at Dan
iel’s Island, some ten miles from the
village, whore they were underarms.
The question of taking Hayes from
the ticket and substituting a more
available man is fully discussed in
Washington circles. Dispatches from
that point state that the feeling is so
strong on the subject among leading
Republican managers that but for the
near approach of the election it would
take definite shapo. It is well under
stood that the principal reason why
a third-rate man like Hayes was tak
en up was that he was believed to be
available. He had had the good luck
to be elected Governor of Ohio three
times b'y dint of preponderant party
strength, and it was supposed he
could carry tho solid West in a Pres
idential contest. This idea, coupled
with tho Administration hostility to
Blaine, secured Hayes’ nomination.
Now it is stated that Chandler isfilled
with disgust at the Western failure,
and but for his well known piety it is
thought he would not hesitate to call
Hayes “a d—d fraud.” There is no
disputing the fact that Hayes has
proven to have been a very weak se
lection, but unfortunately for Chand
ler & Cos. it is now too late to swap
horses with any degree of safety.—
