The Herald is in the highest respect aF:tm ily Newspaper, devoted to the materia! in terests o the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. I-or Terms. see nsrst page. Primary Elections. We have previously advocated primary elections as being the only proper way to make party nomina tions. The election last Thursda.y, and that of July, 1877, confirms our views on this subject and puts the matter beyond any reasonable doubt. There has been ever since the last general election a growing dislike to Convention nominations. The impression is widespread, whether correct or not, that these Conventions are manipulated by "rings", not fraudulent rings, but that a few men of large influence and opportunities control the whole thing; and that the Conventions, in making nominations, do not reflect the real sentiment and will of the party at large. However that may be, this much is certain: that a ma jority of the Convention, usually twenty-five or thirty, have the sole and exclusive privilege of saying whom the whole Democratic party of voters shall vote for. True every man has a right to vote for the dele gates who make the nomination; but that is a very different thing from voting for a candidate direct ly. The truth is inevitable that from first to last a very large pro. portion of the party have no voice in the selection of their officers. Many honest and intelligent Demo crats regard this as a species of po litical slavery, scarcely inferior in despotism to the Union League ; and will not be governed by it A.nd it doesn't help the matter to call them Radicals either. They are not to be "bulldozed." They know they are not Rladicals, and everybody else knows it ; and call ing them so won't make them so it would be a great misfortune to the Democrats if it did. The advocates of nominating conventions say that it is the only means to secure union in the party. It is certainly very important that the party should be united ; for if every Democrat should go to the polls and cast his vote for his indi vidual choice the days of radicalism would soon return. Every man can't vote at the polls for bis choice, but he can vote for him somewhere, and in such a way as to amount to the same thing. He can do this at a primary election. It is only ne cessary to give the general outlines of the pla'n of primary elections, and every one must acknowledge its superiority to our present plan of nominating conventions. Let all the Democrats, whether members. of clubs or not, meet in their own precinct, and each man then and there ballot for his choice for any particular office. Let all the bal lots from all the precincts be opened and counted by either the Executive Committee of the County, or by the County Convention; and let the man having the highest number of votes be the candidate of the party. Isn't this fair ? Isn't it better than, the present plan ? We believe in a' thorough organization ; we believe in County Conventions; but we don't believe that County Conven tions should make nominations. A majority of the Democrats of the County entertain the same opinions. Many have hitherto s'ipported the Convention nominations from what they regarded as a sense of duty. But they are getting tired of that sort of thing, and hereafter intend to have a "say" of their own. Primary elections have all the advantages, without the disadvan tages, of nominating conventions. If adopted in this County we firmly believe that there will be no more trouble. If the present plan be continued certain defeat awaits us. Dr. T. G. Lambert was sentenced in New York, Wednesday, to five S years imprisonment in the State penitentiary, for swearing to a false annual report of the late American Popular Life Insurance Company, while President of the said Com pany. .

We would have been glatl to get the exact result of the vote Thurs day, but the Commissioners of Elec tions have not yet made their count as we go to press, and it is impossi ble for us to wait for it. According to the count made by the Managers, George Johnstone has a majority of 87 votes. State News. The Georgetown Comet and ews is now issued semi-weekly. Large numbers of colored people have gone to Charleston, on their way to L'"eria. They say they "got word" to come; that the ship would be there to carry them. But, of course, there was no ship, and now their condition is pitiable in deed-not able to get back home and nothing to live on where they are. Two white men, Geo. W. Rouse and E. R. White, had a personal encounter on Broad Street, Charles ton, Friday, in which Mr. Rouse was severely wounded in the head with a pistol ball. Mr. Jno. P. De Veaux was seriously wounded in the abdomen. Several persons took part in the affair, and many shots were fired. FOR THE HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASDINGTON, D. C., Jan'y 2, 1878. As some intelligent men believe in ghosts, and a great many men, with out real belief, feel a kind of terror in the places where such frightful things are reported to be, so some men o;f sense in the North really believe in the existence of a determination in the South to force the Government to pay for all the property destroyed du ring the war, and for the slaves liber ated, and to pension the soldiers of r.he Confederacy; and a great many with out understanding just how these things can be done, think there may be danger. There is no danger. As well stated in a late letter of Senator Hill, the 14th Amendment prohibited the doing of most of these, and it is not the South that is trying to re-open questions connected with the war, but agitators at the North. If the peo ple of the North desire further guar antees, an opportunity to secure them will soon be presented. But in this connection it is proper to call attention to a bill presented at this session of Congress which confers upon the Court of Claims all jurisdiction over claims which may be constitutionally paid. As this Court is wholly made up of Northern men, and Republicans at that, and most of them radical Repub licans, it is likely the country's inter ests will be well looked after if the bill passes. Those who have so far denied con nection with the bargain alleged by Win. E. Chandler in connection with the elevation of Hayes to the Presi dency, arc Watterson, of Louisville, Secretary Sherman, Major Burke, of New Orleans, and Judge Lawrence, of Illinois. In the case of every one of these there is much that makes Chan dier's story probable, and throws doubt upon their denials. It is likely, when all the accused parties have spoken, Chandler will be heard from again. He says he did not use, in his first statement, all the information he had acquired in a lifetime. In the mean time, this is a Republican quarrel, and2 it is becoming in Democrats to take no part in it except to keep posted. On the return of Congress one of the first Committee reports will be in favor of a pension to Mexican soldiers and their heirs. There seems to be a good chance of the passage of the bill at this session. Senntor Voorhees will champion it in the Senate. 1 Francis Murphy is coming here to 1 commence a temperance revival. There is need of it. Jn 12 years past I have not seen as much intoxication or crime as now. When Lee surrendered in 1865 everybody, no matter what his politics, religion or color, bad a "cele bration.'' This winter there seems to be an idea that Lee is surrendering daily. There is need of Murphy. It would have been well for the city,i perhaps, if he had come before the holidays commenced. SOLON.

AJVITE WITE LICK, Lexington County, S. C., December 17th, 1S77. DEAR GEORGE : So you are not only one ot the Facultv of Newberry College, but you are ilso concerned in the nanagenent of the Colege column in the HERALD. As soon as I henrd it, I said to Elviry : I will give George some help now and then. Af ter thinkihg awhile she gave hur approval. I know nothing about L-tiin and Greek, nor about your Fluxions, your Logarithms, and your Quadratics, but you and my good friend, Nour father, both are aware that I am thorough in English, as I am in every thing else that I claim to understand. But whatever may be my ignorance of the dead tongues I believe I can bother iou in Latin. I will try. Construe me this : Mens sanl in corpore sano. Aha! you give it up do you? Wcll, a second cousin of nine, Jo sephus I1. Henker, who knew just enough Ltin to keep him out of college, told me that it could be expressed in English by the sentence: A sound mird in a sound body. I thought for a long time that he was the author of it; but I found it in a book enti tIed : Dictionary of Classical Quotations, which he left behind him when he abscond ed. There is much truth in the sentence, and I have demonstrated it in my own case; because I do not believe there is a man in the State who has a sounder body than I have. There was another glotation Josephus was in the habit of repeating which I thought was full of truth. It was this : A little learning is a datngerous thing. Wheth er or not there is any Latin for it, I cannot say ; but I am sure that a little learning is the opposite of thoroughness ; and as to i-s being dangerous, I certainly knew it to cause the death of a most worthy man-a German shoemaker by the name of Shenk. The unfortunate occurrence excited consid erable interest for several years, and incor rect accounts of it crept into the newspa pers. Now, I was an eye-witness, and it happened in this way. I wa: boarding and lodging with Mr. Shenk, near the termination of my appre:, ticeship at the blacksmith's trade under Mr. Sneider, at Lexington C. H. Shenk was a very industrious man. He worked inces santly in his shop, at the back part of his dwelling, while in the front his wife Clemi entina attended to the sale of shoes, a small stock of which was usually kept on hand. They were a kind-hearted, well-meaning pair, but subject to the gnawings of envy. On the opposite side of the street lived another German shoemaker, by the name of Schnitt. He also had no family but hrit wife, and they carried on a business similar to that of the Shenks. The two establish ments eyed each other with restless jeal ousy ; and there had been no neighborly intercourse between them for more than a year. It so happened, unfortunately, that my cousin Josephus occasionally stopped with Schnitt, for a week, and of course paid very irregularly for his board. In conse quence of this, Schnitt required him, for compensation, to paint a Latin motto upon a new signboard which he designed putting above his door. Josephus set his wits to work, and in one night achieved the follow ing satisfa ctory'work: J. SCHINITT ; Sro EMAKHER. Menis sana in corpore sano. The next morning this ridiculous display of a little learning was placed above the front door. It soon caught the eye of Clementina, and she lost no time in pointing it out to her husband. They could see no thing dangerous in it, [aad concluded to laugh at it. Nevertheless, in a very short time it became evident that the mysterious words ont Schnitt's signboard were drawing crowds of customters. Shienk felt that lie was losing ground in patronage ; and he began to fall int.o melancholy. But Clem entina rose above thre existing difficulties She spent one whole day studying the hate faml words across the street, and towards evening thought she had discovered a weaik place in them, whieb, if properly bandled, might enable her and Shenk to recover their lost ground. She directed his atten t'on to it., and lie was so well satisfied with the correctness of her opinion that he be came quite cheerftul; arid long after I had been abed, could I hear him and his wife laughing, as though they were engaged upon sonme wo1k. In the morning, when I left the house to repair to Mr. Sneider's shop, I perceived two or three persons gaz in1g at somiething over Shenk's front dor; and looking in the same direction I saw to my delight an oblong piece of plank with this writing in lanmpblack upon it : IIENRY SHENK; SHOE MAKER. Men's and women's sana in corpore sane. The effect of this was magical. Six pairs of men's shoes, and ten pairs of women's shoes were sold at Shenk's before twelve o'clock that day, it being a public day. A loud commotion was heard going on at Schnitt's, and about the middie of the after noon their provoking sign-board was taken down. Now, the great mtistake mnaud by my host and hostess was indulgence in too palpable exultation. Tihey killed their p)et Muscovy drake, art old fellow whose face was red and knobbed with carbuncles, as though lhe had been a drunkard all his life. Shenk even sent off Mr. John Corly, a skillful dis tiller in thte country, for a quart of his twenty-year old peach brandy ; and there was a merry time at our house the day suc ceeding the triumphli. It very soon cunme to my knowledge that Schnitt had sent a mnesseniger aft.er my ras cally cousi t, who was billeting himself upon a farmer three n:iles from tihe village. I considered this a strong symptom of reac tion], and waited in considerable dread for developments. I had not long to wait. Josepnhns euned with the meenger, and placed, with Lir fatal Liteslioi in the wr"! ing : J. SCiINITT ; Y'eu's, women's and children's :a in co: i t A: -kto tell my friend of thir disaste'r, [u, b-fire I cr!ui rc-enter the house I heard Ckinetina screami. Shenk came running out. He sh.Aded his eye, looked a moment at the hideous object, and felV dead upon the side-wall,. 1 nevcr saw so sIdden a deatn. Clenientina sold her husband's efTects, and moved to the Saltkehatchie river, where she bought a farm, and married again. Schnitt never proepnered. Alas, for n y>l low crattsamen, th'ey cannot stand prosperi ty ! He took to drink and soon d'. of a dropsy, ater having been tapped :xenty four times.

How the unfortunate young man came to his death is not exacily known. The Coroner's inquest was held, but whether he fell on the track, and was run over, is a matter of doubt, as no one was with him. His loss is deeply felt, he having made a host of friends, and also married in this place. He leaves a wife and an in fant. His kindness of heart and pleasant manners endeared him to all.

DearSir.-About ten years ago my health failed ihrdugh1 the dophet.ing effects of dys nen-ia: nearly a year ait er I v. as attaeced Iv' tvphaid-fcver in its wo-ot Iom. It set tled in my back, and took the form of a large dleen-seated abscess, w hich wa., fifteen months ini gathering. I ha(i two surgical operations by the best skii in flhe state, but recei%ved no permianent eur,-. I suffered great pmin at tim'-s. al was constantly weakeicd by a prolu-e discharge. I also lost smiatl pieces of bone at different times. Matters ran on thus about seven years, till MaV, 184. when a friend reconnended me to no to your oflice, and talk to you of the N irtue of VEG:TTNE. i did so. and by your kindness pas::ei through your juanuflactory, not ing the ingredients. &c., by which your remedy is produced. By what I saw and heard I gained some coniielnce in V1i-TINE. I cOenICUced taking it ::fon after, but felt worse fromits eifects; still I pers-Veretl, and soon felt it was beliefiting me in other respects. Yet I did not see the res!ults I dsired till I had Iken it flithfully f:>r a lit tlt! more than a year, whe the Lic!l-niy in tile back w-as eared ; and for nine months I have enjoyed the best of health. I have ~in that time gained twenty-five pounds of 11esh, being heavier than ever be lore in my liie, and I wats never more able t o performi labor than now. Duiring thce p)ast Iew weeks I had a scrofu lonis .>welling as large ats my fist gather on another par-t or my body. I took VEGETINE faithfully. and it removed it level wnhti the surface in a month. I think I should have beeni cured of my main tron ble sooner. if I had taken larger doses. ater having become accustomed to its ei tects.
