Total By this table lt will be seen that the whole vote of the county has fallen short at tais election by GK-? votes; and as there have been over lboo more votes polled La Charleston City at this election than at the last, the decrease in the country vote has been startling In its rapidity. EDISTO ISLAND. At Calvary Church, the first precinct on the Island, not a vote was polled, and the bos was re? turned to the Charleston Courthouse err pty. The deficiency was, however, made up at the other two polls, whither all the voters flocked, Wright's store being by far the most popular on account of the proximity of the large store and barroom. The voting, notwithstanding, went on quietly eaough, and we have not the distur banco or disorder to report at either of the two THE BIGGIN CHURCH BIOT-LATEST DEVELOPMENTS.

Toe latest developments tend to prove that the rice at Biggin Charon was not the tait of sudden excitement, growing out of the fraudaient prac? tices of Stephen Brown, a Radical candidate for county commissioner. It is true that Brown did foist upc some of the who were too Ig? norant to read them, tickets that they did not wish to vote; that these negroes did attempt to seize him at Biggin Ghandi, and that he escaped only through the interposition of a gentleman of the parish, who was there to vote. But' other persons Implicated In the riot say that it was planned advance of the elections by one George Sass, who told them to go to the polis armed, take possession of the polls and carry the election as they wished, even if they noa to the tu? white managers. A correspondent Informs us that this George Sass is one of the most mis? chievous demagogues the county, and he ls noted for the virulence of language towards the It is rumored that he will be arrested. Seven of these rioters were arrested on Friday, by the deputies of the United States marshal, and brought to Charleston.

Of Brown, Pani Kee kiev, Charles Wilson and Single? ton were bound over in the sum of $600 eash, to appear next Wednesday morning, before the United States Commissioner for examination, and the remaning three discharged. INTIMIDATION OF VOTERS. Mr. George F. Kinloch has made an affidavit be? fore the United States commissioner tb the effect that about 150 armed negroes were present at the polls at Wappetaw Church, Christ Church Parish, on the day of election, who threatened to kill negro who attempted to vote the Reform ticket, and that they tried to carry their threat into exe? cution upon the persons of Adam M.

Jackson, Hiram Flemiig and ar other (name unknown). Also that he believes many colored persons were prevented by them from voting as their inclina? tions directed. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of the ringleaders. Beaufort. Thd election La the as far as heard from, on the neighboring islands, proceeded quietly.

The estimated Tote in the city is 540, of which the friends of Carpenter-and Butler claim least iso. Oue colored man alone voted 53 of 1 ta race for Reform. The majority of white residence, North? ern and Southern, voted the same ricket De Large was completely overshadowed here, but he Oepe ads for his majority on other precincts. On closing the polls the box of this precinct was carefully wrapped tape and sealed with'private seals, so that lt ls not probable that lt will be in? terfered with; but one or two boxes are alleged to haver already been received from the neighbor? hood open and unprotected by legal safeguards. The returns made as they appear below are only approximately correct.

They saow, however, the growing unpopularity of th Scott administration i among those who have heretofore affiliated with the Radical party. His reckless disregard of law and of public propriety La the appointment of managers and commissioners of elections, wnp were themselves candidates, and supposed- to be willing to count into office, created great dissatisfaction, and in this county alone has co him huudreds of votes. Irregularities have occurred at many of the polls, which will be made the subject of affidavits and protests by both Reformers and Republicans. The lat'er are esp dally indignant, because lt is believed that the DeLarge faction determined to elect their man without reference to law or de' cency. At Beach Branch, Blanton, Lawtonvi'le and Gar Sen's Corner, the legal oath was not exacted from ate voters.

They voted loose and Jorten. United Ste tes officials win testify to this fact. At Garden's Corner, DeLarge men stow! around jtte -polls with and swore to kill any colored saan who veted for Bowen or Reform. The wh however, were unmolested the exercise of their privileges, Three boys between thirteen and seventeen years of age were permitted to vote at this precinct Their names are known.

The Winnsboro' Xews estimates that the Radi? cal majority ls 1202. Union. The Times says the election was fairly conducted, i but the colored men and boys voted early and often. Twenty or thirty arrests have been made, or are to be. Frequent attempts were made to abuse and in timldate colored Reformists, but the prompt interposition of officers and citizens prevented any violence.

Many colored men were anxious to vote the Reform ticket, hat said that if they did they believed they would be murdered before Saturday night. This fear was expressed by not less than a dozen, while a number who had been outspoken Reformists before, from some cause, said ihey dare not voie against the Radical party, so did not vo'e at all. There ls no doubt that the whole Reform ticket ls elected. The following is the number of votes polled, white and colored, so far as we have heard Union Courthouse, both boxes-547 Reform; 930 Radical Cross Keys-241 Reform; 8 Radical.

About ll o'clock an extra train arrived with eighty, or one hundred voters, white and colored, from the Steer Pens poll, (no poll being open at that place,) and marching to the town hall, cast their ballots for Carpenter and Butler.

Mr. McGartland, who was picked up with the dead woman, has no doubt that all the boats were swamped, and thinks himself the only survivor. His boat capsized, and he was for a time insensible, but he clung to the boat and feund therein the dead lady.

RADICALISM LAURENS.

CAUSE RESULT OF THE FRAY. Governor Scott Timely Warning. OCR OWN COLUMBIA, Saturday, October 22. That the election ls over with so little excite? ment is, lo the highest degree, gratifying. Tbe quiet resulted from mutual agreement-concert without the two parties.

All over the State the Scott Radicals felt that the beam of fortune was nearly balanced, and a disturbance would probably turn lt sadly against them. Quiet being assured, they carried their intimida? tion of the poor negroes to an astonlshlag extent. In their leagues new oaths were exacted, among the conditions of which was the requirement fha they get their votes from particular individuals, and these were designated. As Pickett was frightened into withdrawing by threats, thous? ands were made to vote for their political mas? ters by threats if they did not. I write what I get from the poor fools themselves.

WHAT IS THOUGHT OP CREWS, The United State? officer who was sent to Lau rens, a short time ago, to report upon the disturb-' anees there, freely ls the maker' in.thc up? country, hlTchiracter 90 apuy that the officer has risen largely the esteem of. munlty. He says Crews is a compound of and cowardice, cunning and servility. THE TROUBLES IN LAURENS. Upon the recent difficulties Laurens-th03e of the 20th Instant-General Dennis, (a clerk in the office of the Adjutant and Inspector General,) was heard by our citizens to tell Wlmbush, this morning, near the Pqstomce, that a company of about eighty (the number of the United States troops sent up this morning) men, with winchester rifles, was cent to kill every man in Laurens, and burn every house there.

Myinfomant'aname, (who knows his hst of witnesses,) is at the service or parties interested. SENDING THE SOLDIERS. This momiug. by direction of General Terry, Governor Scott sent one company or United States infantry up to Laurens. They would have been sent last night, but the general commanding did not answer la time.

The Governor last night the determi? nation to send United States troops if he could get them; If not, to send Captain O'Ne ale's com? pany or white volunteer militia of this city. He had no Idea or sending his negro militia up there, ror the reason that that would on Increase the trouble. THE KILLED IND WOUNDED. The casualties in Laurens, reported by last night's telegraph, were received from a gentle? man In the official family or the Governor. To? day's news gives about the same number of deaths.

A citizen Just down from there thinks the whole difficulty anne from the negroes Im? prudently going to the polia vlth their arms. Joe Crews ls said to be in town to-night, wound? ed In the leg. Last night the dwelling house or Ur. Edmund Davis, In this city, was burnt, probably by an In? cendiary, although Mr. Davis ls not known to be obnoxious in any special way to any class or party.

Insurance $2500. PRESENTMENT OF THE GRIND JURY OF LAURENS COUNTY. The following was submitted to the Governor this (Saturday) night: The State of South Carolina, Laurens County-In the General Sessions. The grand Jurors for said county and State, by. virtue of their authority in the discharge of duty as such, respectfully present: The County of Laurens has always been distin? guished for Us adherence to good order; and the disturbance of the peace which occurred during the present term of this conn, broad daylight, almost nuder the eaves of the courthouse, whilst the court In sexsion, ls greatly to be regretted.

We have not been able, arter every exertion, to ascertain all the circumstances or the case, or learn who were active In the affair. It seems that a member or the constabulary force cursed a citizen as -'a tallow-faced son of a bitch," whereupon the two commenced lighting. The armed cons abai arv, wlih a number or colored militia, having possessed themselves or the State arms, made demonstrations or assistance to their associate engaged. A pistol in the coat pocket or some one standing by was accidentally discharged, whereupon the armed body within the constabu? lary quarters and armory delivered a volley, and the firing extended to others the vicinity of the disturbance. So far as we have learned, two white men and a tittie white boy were wounded, and one negro killed instantly, and two others severely wounded.

The sheriff finally succeeded in commanding the peace. The grand Jury or the county, the Interest or peace, commend that the public arms here, which have been directed by his Honor the Judge to be taken by the Bherlff Into his possession, be re? tained by the sheriff, or returned to the armory of the State at Columbia. They feel bound to ex? press, in the strongest terms, their apprehension of the consequences if these arms and ammuni? tions are placed in the hands of one class of our citizens whilst the rest of the community is left in an unarmed and defenceless condition. It is believed that the announcement of the In? tention to put public arms into the possession or one race In the community and to leave the other unarmed has created tue restless and uneasy reeling In the community which, no doubt, was the underlying cause or people being armed, and, therefore, or the late lamentable disturbance of the peace. The grand Jury would urge la the mose earnest manner, situated as our community ls, that thc public arms now here be cudected and deposited by the authorities of the in armory at Columbia.

The grand Jury cannon but express their com? mendation that Hie Hon. Jud-re Vernon presiding, hus taken rlgorus steps, through the peace officer or the sheriff-to repro? all lawless? ness, and to preserve and promote the peace and good order of the The grand Jury would earnestly recommend all persons, white and ack, to returu to their homes, unless they have business In court. Let every good citizen lend his efforts for peace and order, and we may hope to quiet down after a most ex? citing and extraO "dlnery election, and the persist? ent efforts of some, for their own selflHh purposes, to embroil the two occupying this county as citizens. No civilize 1 eommuolty can exist, much less prosper, without law and order. This we respectfully preaeaL (Signed) SAMUEL AUSTIN, Foreman.

A VICTORY IN LEXINGTON. Lexington County gives a Reform majority of full 400, and easily elects Its county ticket. There ls some danger of one member's being beaten by there berni two independent candidates in the field; but moderate men are cere am of che entire county delega'lon. There are said to be about one hundred wldtc Radical votes In the entire coun? ty. White vote turned out full strength.

The census of 1889 gives Lexington 831 majority of white voters; but this difference is thought to be two great. THE RADICAL I have information or the working or some more Radical Ku-Kluxes in the vicinity or Limestone Springs, in Spartanburg County. Two Spartan burg trial Justices have written to his Excellency to ask If it would not be well to put the northeast 1 corner of that county under martlaljaw. We ex? pect here that his Excellency has had enough of that, and that he will let well enough alone, both now aud ror the ruture. Our people are in dead earnest now, and Governor Scott knows lt; i RADICAL RASCALITY, Lasr night upon receipt or the the dlaturbauie Laurena, the negro rompantes of this city-or some of them-turned oui, and posted sentinels about the statehouse.

These the Governor had not authorized; and so sosn as lie learned lt, Issued orders for them to disperse, iliave certain information that thc Governor has issued an order forbidding all parading (without direct orders from him) in the streets, end ha3 ordered arrest of any or these mllPla men who shall appear In uni? form upon the streets of Columbia. Ia9t night at the fire (burning of Mr. Davis' some of the colored militia were seen to hold np cartridges, say lug that they (the cartridges) were the best peace makers. This was related to Governor Scott, and received his unqualified ondemaatloj. The fact ls his Excellency ls now fnUy awake te the critical character of the crisis that ls upon us and upon him.

THE VOTE. Estimates from Union to-day pot the Reform majority at certainly 215 In the country, and at the village impossible to determine. Two legisla? tors certainly elected; Radical probate Jndge elected. On the general ticket the majority will not exceed Jlfty either way. PlckenB has gone 250 majority for Carpenter and Bailer, and bas elected senator and representa? tives by larger majorities.

Later estimates from Anderson give the total vote as 3485; white, 2088; colored, 1397. Carpen? ter and Butler folly 400 ahead; but Independent candidates have tended to lower the majorities of delegates to the General Assembly. Many whlteB did not vote at alL CORSAIR. GOLD AND BOND MARKET. KEW TORE, October 22-Evening.

The event of the week was a squeeze In cash gold; the supply of gold daily in use was small and steadily decreasing under the absorption by the treasury for duties. The supply is concentrated in few hands, enabling them to control the tone of the market and of the Gold Room. Relief to this scarcity of gold win come shortly In the November interest.

To Introduce pure water luto Charleston. To demand the completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad. As we have often before stated, lt will require an appropriation of not less than $10,000,000 to flolsu tue Blue Railroad; but the infamy of mu king the people of the State pay $3,000,000 of debts contracted by the City of Charleston to build railroads In Georgia, Teunessee and other.
