A Speech of Gen. Hampton.
BRIGHT PROSPECTS.
Barnwell Cobkt House, S. C., (
• October 9,1876. )
Editor of Times: Proud old Palmet
to State! the despot’s heel is indeed
on thy shore. Thou art humbled in
the dust. Thou hast suffered long
and silently. Thy treasury has been
robbed by the thieves now |in of
lloe; thy people grievously and bur
densomely taxed; obnoxious laws
oppress thy people. But there is
light ahead. The abominable acts
and measures of the Radical State
Government will soon be swept from
the State. For eleven years, stimu
lated by the vilest passions, we have
seen the public officers of South Car
olina sowing discord and dissensions
among the people. Not one act of
kindness marks their career. The
only public blessiug that evor
will be connected with their
names will be that of their na
tural death. That publio men so
debased, so disgraced, so thievish,
should so long control the State that
gave to the world a Hampton, But
ler, Calhoun, Rhett and Ker
shaw, is a wonder to us, and cer
tainly not in unison with polit
ical philosophy—that a noble
State should continue for eleven
years so ruled. Here in South Car
olina we have a State Government
deliberately nursing and encourag
ing barbarism, terrifying the whites
of the State with the Federal soldiers
who have been withdrawn from the
Indian war to elevate the negro over
the white. The Indians are left to
perform the war dance over Custer’s
bones and those of the noble heroes
who fell on the plains with him,
whilst their live comrades aro
brought to arouse' and TeT TOffSiUftfS"
vile passions of the negroes
mit them to run riot over the Elites
in oppressed South Carolina.
Ohl what a spectacle! Can the
Caucasian race, whethor they live in
Massachusetts or the Palmetto State,
contemplate with any other feeling
save abhorrence the State govern
ment, whose actions a*e thus at war
with the law* of nations as well as
at war with humanity and civiliza
tion. These things are horrible to
the people of South Carolina; but
coming from a Democratic State,
where all have their equal rights
before the law, the order of things
here does seem to us to fit only for
hell itself. Wo hope and trust the
hour of suffering will soon be over;
that the end is nigh. If so, Hamp
ton will triumph—an event we hope
to join the good people, black and
white, in celebrating after the No
vember elections. With a similar
hope burning in the bosom of every
white man in the State, already trade
is improving, the spirit of the peo
ple is better, and happiness rests on
the face of many in the bright pros
pects of an honest State govern
ment.
It was our distinguished privilege
to listen last week to the speech
of the State standard bearer,
of reform and honesty, General
Hampton. He reviewed the political
issues of the day; he showed where
in the Radicals had stolen and where
the Republicans have erred; that
even the honest men of the Repub
lican party would not do to trust,
for they cannot reform the masses.
Ho paid a passing tribute to the
mothers and daughters of South
Carolina in their effort to elect the
present ticket. He asked the prayers
of the ministers of God’s churches
for success. He asked that the re
formers, both white and black, to
stand firm and poll their full
strength. He showed them that or
ganization was essential for success;
that it required a combination of in
dividual forces concentrated and
applied to achieve party
success and accomplish peace
ful revolution at the ballot box.
To have this there must be recog
nized authority and cordial subordi
nation. Every member of the Dem
ocratic party cannot have office or
say who shall run. Some must lead
and others follow. The Democratic
party is an- old organization and
have always contended that it is the
right and duty of a convention of the
people to name the candidate.
Where a convention has done this it
is the duty of the party to cordially
support the nominee. No Indepen
dents, for those who are not for us,
are against us. Let them come out
oa the right side, show their alle
giance to party or quit it. In con
clusion he, Hampton, turned to the
negroes who had patiently heard
him through and said in these words:
“I wish to tell the colored people
hero as elsewhere, that as soon as
THE DAILY TIMES.
the power passes into the hands of
the Democratic party here, which
shall come to pass as surely ns the
sun goes down on the 7th of Novem
ber, they will havo equal protection;
they will be recognized as the equals
of every man in this Stato, before tho
law and under the Constitution. They
will be honestly dealt with, and I
pledge myself and the gentlemen
whose names appear as the nominees
of the Democratic party of South
Carolina, to the people of South Car
olina, white and black, that when
that administration couitJ into pow
rr, there will bo no discrimination on
account of color or party.”
“Now, why should wo not all be
together? What is there that sep
arates us but this little band of plun
derers, who <?ame down here and who
stand botwevi the colored people
and tho white p*. :?le, with one hand
in the pocket of tho black man and
the other in the pocket of the white
man. Nothing in the world keeps
us apart but that. Nothing but this
band of vultures who camo here, not
with the brave men of the Federal
army, whom we fought, but came
like birds of prey, following the ar
my to plunder, the dead and the
wounded. They camo here, and
found that law had fled; that there
was disorder, and that by arraying
the black man against tho white,
they could be put in power, and be
able to rob all alike. And they havo
done it. They know that as soon as
there is an understanding between
the two races as to what are the
proper interests of both, they cannot
stay hero, and hence it is that they
poison the minds of our oolored peo
ple. But tho time has come when
their eyes will be open. I know it,
becauso I tell you I have seen it. I
have seen colored men enough en
rolled in our ranks to give us this
election, and we feel a deep and
lasting obligation to them. W'e feel
that they havo broken off party ties
and shackles anil have come to the
aid of honest government. We feel
that we cannot thank them too
much, and our whole party is
pledged to pr&tect, and not only to
protect, but reward them.
“I know that many of you colored
men have been led off into the Union
League. You say you would like very
much to come with the Democrats
now, but cannot do it because you
are bound by an oath. In the first
plaeo, I tell you, that oath is an un
lawful oath, and therefore not bind
ing. But if you think your oath is
binding, it is the simplest thing in
the world to bo rid of the obligation
—just take your name off the roll,
_aay you are np longer a member of
the league, ana then you will be free
from nil obligation. There can be no
trouble about that. I have known
white men in this county who were
members of tho league, and they
have dorfo that very thing. You can
do the same, and you not only can do
it, but if you desire peace, happiness
and prosperity ; if you want to see
your rights thoroughly and fully pro
tected; if you want to see us all
living together harmoniously, and
wuges increased ail over the country,
you will do it. Without n moment’s
hesitation you will withdraw your
names from the league, whether you
vote the Republican or the Detro
cratlo ticket; because, I tell you, you
are a worso slave while you nro a
slave to the oath of that league; than
when you were held in bondage by
tho white men. Your minds are en
slaved, you are made to vote like
sheep driven to the slaughter. If you
are freemen, you will say that you
will not be bound by any unlawful
oath, but will cast your votes as your
consciences and judgments dictate.
And that is the way we desire you to
act. We don’t want you to be driven
either into tho Republican or Demo
cratic party, but to listen to what we
have to say, and if you aro satisfied,
come to us; if not satisfied, you are
freemen, and will vote as you may
choose.”
General Hampton, in conclusion,
paid a grateful tribute to the interest
manifested by the ladies in the glori
ous cause, calling upon them to unite
to their earnest efforts of encourage
ment fervent prayers to Heaven for
success. He also appealed to the
clergy to invoke the Divine assist
ance in behalf of the cause; that
God might help us in His own good
time to obtain the blessings of peace
and happiness, freedom and prosper
ity. Then, South Carolina, once
more glorious and erect In all her
former glory, will say to all her chil
dren, white and black, “I have room
for all, come and receive a mother’s
blessing!”
He closed amidst the roar of can
non, the shouts and applause of
white and black voters; and if this
one be a criterion, he will be the
next Governor of South Carolina.
God grant it, is the prayer of the
people of the Stato; and if the mas
ters, who own the negroes politically,
would set them free, Hampton would
carry the State by 20,000 majority.

THE TURKISH SITUATION.
London, Oot. 11.—A Reuter dis
patch reports the Turkish advance
on Montenegro checked.
The Times, in its leading editorial
of this morning, says if it is true that
au armistico has been granted, there
is still good hope for peace, and
Turkey has plaeod herself right.
Should Servia refuse tho armistice,
she would forfeit all claim to consid
eration. If this armistice is con
cluded, there will be sufficient time
for a patient and t horough considera
tion, and time is of unonlculable
value, for wur, and war on a gigantic
soalo, will oertainly follow unless
some schome for good government in
the provinces of Turkey is guaran
teed.
All Armistice almost Curtain.
PEACE PROBABLE.
London, 11.—Reuter’s Constan
tinople dispatch says: At an extra
ordinary council yesterday, which
decided to grant a six’months’ armis
tice, strong opposition to any armis
tice was at first expressed. Tho coun
cil agreed that a six weeks’ armistice,
as proposed .by tho Powers, might
from its shortness seriously endanger
Turkey in the improbable eveut of a
failure of peaco. Tho council there
fore decided the Porte should eom
municato to the. Powerß tho condi
tions on which it would consent to a
six months’armistice, which, in its
opinion, would havo the following
advantages, namely : Enablo tho
Porte to allay excitement amongst
Musselmen, not expose the Porte to
tho risk of having to incur postilence
duriDg tho inclemont season; and
afford an interval which would facil
itate an understanding upon condi
tions af peace and general reforms
to be introduced. The ratification of
the Porte’s acceptance of the armis
tice in this senso to be made to the
Ambassadors to-day.
It is believed here that tho Porte’s
conditions will be aecopted.
Tho Financier, In a leading article,
states very positively it has reason
to bolievo the Porte’s acceptance of
Derby’s peace proposals will be an
nounced almost immediately.
A (Reuter dispatch from Belgrade
to-day says tho Servian Council of
ministers to-day decided to accept a
regular armistico as soon as proposed
to them by Consuls of tho Great
Powers.
In this connection a Belgrade tel
egram of yesterday says tho British,
Russian, Austrian and French Con
suls already have been instructed to
advise Servia to support an armistice.

I THE ELECTIONS.
Opinions of llie New York Press of
Wednesday Morning.
New Yoke, Oct. 11.— The Tribune
says, Indiana seems carried by the
Republicans, though close. Harri
son leads his ticket everywhere, and
is probably elected. Holman, Dem.,
is defeated for Congress. Tho Ohio
returns aro more definite, both par
ties claiming tho State. The Repub
licans have made gains in nearly all
sections. The World says: Detailed
roturns are lacking from Indiana.
The indications invariubly are that
the Democrats have carried tho State
by 10,000 to 20,000. Tho Democrats
fully hold their own in tho congres
sional districts. Ohio shows heavy
Demoeratio gains from tho cities,,
will quite ovorcomo the narrow ma
jority for Hayes last year, unless the
rural Republican voto is much larger
than expected. The State goes for
the Democracy by 3,000 to 5,000.
The Times : The Ohio Republicans
have carried the State by at least
7,000, and at least 12 of the 20 Con
gressmen. In Indiana Harrison is
probably elected Governor, tho rest
of the ticket probably defeated.
Scattering roturns indicato that the
Republicans have elected 8 of tho
13 Congressmen. Returns from West
Virginia not sufficient to indicate the
result.

SECOND DISPATCH.
Cincinnati, Oct. 11.-Complete re
turns from Hamilton county give
Bell, Dem., for Secretary of State,
28,362, Barnes, Rep., 27,034; Fink,
Dem., Judge Supreme Court, 27,934,
Boynton, Rep., 28,102; Clough, Dem.,
Board of Public Works, 28,019,
Evans, Rep., 27,451; Sayler, Dem.,
Congress, Ist district, 14,099, Force,
Rep., 13,500; Banning, Dem., Con
gress, 2d district, 14,113, Mutthows,
Rep., 14,138. The Republicans elect
the Sheriff, County Clerk, Recorder
und Commissioner. The Democrats
elect the balance of tho ticket.
The Gazette charges that the voto
of this county of 55,966 against 48,-
597 in 1875, is an evidence of fraud.
The Commercial says tho most im
portant single influence has been
that of the Israelites, who have
almost unanimously voted the Dem
ocratic ticket, and may be credited
with the result in the 2d district.
It is understood that tho Repub
lican Israelites have generally
succumbed to the urgument that
Cincinnati has put her capital in
Southern railroads and must look
out for southern trade.
The Enquirer says tho result in
Ohio is so close that nothing definite
can be given ttiis morning. If tho
Republicans have carried the State,
their majority is not likely to reach
beyond that of last year.
The Gazette estimates the Repub
lican majority in Ohio at from 5,000
to 8,000 and Indiana Republican by
from 3,000 to 5,000.
Holman, for Congress, is probably
defeated.
The Republicans claim a gain of
perhaps 10, and certainly 8 Congress
men in Ohio and Indiana.
Columbus, 0., Oct. 11,-9:30 a. m.—
Returns indicate tho election of
Barnes, Republican, for Secretary of
State by a small majority; Boynton,
for Judge of Supreme Court, will
have a much larger majority.
Indianapolis, Oct. 11. Returns
from 135 townships and wards in 46
counties gave a net Republican ma
jority of 2,318. The same places in
1874 gave a net Republican majority
of 538, and in 1872 a net Republican
majority of 1,404.
FOURTH DISPATCH.
Indianapolis, Oct. 11, a. m.— Union
county complete, gives a Republican
majority of 236 ; Republican gain of
40. One hundred and thirty-four pre
cincts heard from give a net Repub
lican gain of 1,630. Corresponding
gains in Stato would give Harrison,
Rep., for Governor, a gain of 14,500,
as compared with the voto of 1874.
11.15 a. m.— Returns from 164 town
ships and wards in 50 counties give
a net Republican majority of 1,862.
The same places in 1874 gave a net
Republican majority of 15, and in
1872, net Republican majority of 852.
FIFTH DISPATCH.
Cincinnati, Oct. 11.—The Demo
crats claim a miscount in Banning
and Matthews’ vote3, which would
give Banning 95 majority, but this
cannot be discovered in tables now
at band. According to the returns
now at hand, Matthews has five
majority.
Columbus, Oot. 11.—Further returns
from the country show continued
Republican gains, which still keep
Barnos somewhat ahead of gains
made by Bell in tho large cities. It
now appears that if the samo rates
aro kept up in tho remaining half of
the country, tho Ropublicans will
more than offset tho loss In Cuyahoga
county, and make the Republican
majority In the State about 7,000.
sixth dispatch.
Columbus, October 11.—John G.
Thompson, Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee, concedes the
State to tho Republicans.
The election of Matthews, Repub
lican, for Congress over Banning in
tho 2d district leaves the estimate of
result in Congressional districts the
same as given last night, namely,
Republicans 12, Democrats B—a gain
of live Republican Congressmen.
Columbus, Oct. 11.—Tho summary
of returns from Hamilton county
show that Boynton, Republican can
didate for Supreme Court Judge,
runs ahead of Barnes nearly 900
votes, and carries the county by 161.
Boynton also runs ahead of Barnes
in Cuyahoga county 400 votes. Re
publican majority in Cuyahoga
county on Secretary of State is 3,227,
on Supreme Court Judge 3,659.
SEVENTH DISPATCH.
Cincinnati, Oct. 11.—The Times’
Columbus special says Gov. Joel
Parker, of New Jersey, who is in Co
lumbus, concedes the State to tho
Republicans by 4,000 majority. Tho
Republican Executive Committee
claim 5,000 majority for Barnes.
EIGHTH DISPATCH BANNING ELECTED.

WEST VIRGINIA.
Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 11.—The
ticket voted for yesterday was a long
one, and in most places the count
was abandoned until this morning.
The returns are very meagre, but far
as received show Republican gains.
Brooko county gives about its usual
Democratic majority of 100. Taylor
county, heretofore strongly Demo
cratic, gives 300 Republican majority.
Two townships in Wetzel county
show Republican gains. Cameron
township in Marshall county shows a
Republican gain of 105 over tho vote

majority. Greenbrier county gives
an Increased Democratic majority.
Mineral county gives a heavy Demo
cratic majority. Wood county gives
about 250 Democratic majority. No

Ohio county, but it is supposed to be
carried by Goff, Rep., for Governor.
These reports are from private
sources, and official returns may en
tirely change them. Tho adjacent
townships in Ohio county show heavy
Republican gains.
IT IS CERTAINLY DEMOCRATIC.
Wheeling, W. V., Oct. 11.—The
State will go Democratic from 2,000

AUGUSTA CROP REPORT.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 11.—The Au
gusta Exchange’s cotton crop report,
basod on 26 ropllos from 17 counties,
average date Sept. 30: Weather from
Ist to 10th and in somo counties to
12th, dry and hot, causing general
shedding of young top crop and
rapid and somewhat premature
opening of grown bolls. From 10th
to 12th, somo heavy winds and rain
storms were general in this section,
blowing and beating some open, then
injured the quality of what was
open. There was frost in somo lo
calities October Ist; no damage re
ported to tho cotton pluut. The
drouth in the early part of the month
caused the young fruit to turn up.
Tho storms during the middle of the
month had an effect on the quality,
but not on the quantity of the cyop.
The damage suffered by the crop is
mainly from rhsts and consequent
shedding, and amounts probably to
15 or 25 per cent. No dainago from
rot or worms, except on very few
river bottom fields. Picking
is progressing rapidly; fully three
quarters of tho crop is open. A large
number of extra hands employed at
cash wages. Probably half tho cot
ton is picked. The yield is reported
about tho same as last year. The
loss suffered by planters from Au
gust 10th to Soptembor 10th was so
great a Rproontage of their previous
expectations that now many are in
clined to under-estimato tho yield.
In all probability, based upon tho
most reliable information, this sec
tion will make about ton per cent,
more cotton this year than last.

South Atlantic and Eastern Gulf
States and Tennessee, rising barom
eter, east to northwest winds, and
brisk along the coast; cooler, clearer,
partly cloudy weather will prevail,
with heavy frosts from the interior
of North Carolina to northern Mis
sissippi. For Western Gulf States,
rising barometer, cooler, east winds,
clear or partly cloudy woathor, and
probably followed in Texas by falling
barometer.
Reported Russian and German Alliance.
The document purporting to be an alli
ance offensive and defensive between Ger
many and Russia, having especially the
Eastern question in view, and said to be
signed by Gortchakoff and Rismarck,
although its authenticity is denied by all
parties, is, nevertheless, the subject of much
discussion in the European press, and is
published in full by the newspapers of Ger
many. Emil Girardin, the editor of La
France, assures his readers that the docu
ment is genuine, and invittes his unbeliev
ing contemporaries to an inspection of the
attestation, “A true copy—Adlerberg.” The
Republique FranCaise, however, recalls to
mind that Girardin in 1850 gave publicity
to a forged message of the President of the
Republic. The Cologne Gazette, while
doubting the authenticity of the treaty,
thinks there is some ground to believe that
imeortant negotiations have been on foot
between Bismarck and Gortchakoff, as it is
not likely that Field Marshal Manteuffel
has been making his frequent journeys be
tween Varzin and Warsaw simply for his
own amusement. ‘Something must be
going on. In military and diplomatic cir
cles of Berlin it is not questioned that the
warlike utterances recently attributed to the
Russian Czar are genuine. It is known
that at Jugenheim [in Germany) Alexander
II gave expression to similar threats, and
that Prince Gortchakoff used still stronger
language. True, Russia has for the last
twenty years pursued a peaceful policy,
whi 1 e seeming to be preparing for a strug
gle; but perhaps Gortchakoff now sees the
opportunity for which he has long waited
and prepared, and may be ambitious to
close his long public career with a success
that will make his name illustrious; and
one must admit that recent events have
shaped themselves very favorably for Rus
sia.”

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—The Exprets, in its weekly
review of the dry goods market, says the com
mission houses havo a good demaml for prints,

small supply on hand. The advance closes at sc,
Worsted dress goods wero active. Shawles,
hosiery, trimmed skirts and plain cottons have
been less active without any special feature.
Domestic and woolens are generally quiet. The
jobbers have had, comparatively speaking, a bet
ter trade than commission merchants, and on
tho aggregate have disposed of a very lair amount
of goods, although less than for weeks imme
diately preceding. There has been a moderate
movement In foreign goods from parties hands,
and pricesjgonerally aro firm. Desirablo lines of
silk goods have an upward tendency. Exports
of domestic oottons from the port last week were
