Haskell has resigned his position on the Supreme Bench in order to accept the position of President of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad. The Greenville & Columbia Rail Road for Sale. By order of Judge Mackey, in the cases of James S. Gibbes vs. the Greenville & Columbia Railroad and of The State of South Carolina vs. same, this road, with all its pro perty and franchises, will be sold at Columbia the 15th day of April next by N. B. Barnwell, Master of Richland County. Incendiary Fire in Greenville. About 3 o'clock Sunday morning a fire broke out in Greenville, destroying the Academy of Music, one of the finest buildings in the State and just completed. The following stores were burned, F. W. Poe & Co., Clothing, Sloan, Lee & Taylor, Groceries, Sloan Bros. Drug Store. The Academy of Music was insured for $14,000; the other property destroyed was also in sured. The fire was incendiary. Report ofthe Superintendent of the Penitentiary. - We have received from Col. Lips. comb a copy of his report to the Gen eral Assembly. It shows that the Penitentiary for the past fiscal year has been managed very economically, and that many improvements of a val uable nature have been made within the enclosure. On the 31st of Octo ber, 1878, there were 604 conviets; 412 more have been received during the fiscal year. On the 31st of Octo ber, 1879, the whole number was 625, of whom 296 were out on contract with the G. & A. R. R., Edgefield R. R.. Warrior Creek Company, and other parties. The cost of maintaining each convict has been brought down to 25 cents per day, two-fifths of which is for food and clothing and the balance for guarding and medical treatment. The report of the Surgeon, Dr. Treze vant, shows that the health of the in mates of the Penitentiary has been remarkably good for the past nine months, during which time the pres ent officers have had charge. While on the subject of the Peni tentiary it may not be amiss to say that Col Lipscomb's administration has met with the highest praise from all quarters. H4' has given his whole time and attention to his work, and has proved himself emphatically the fight man in the right place. The Supreme Court Muddle. A. J. Willard was elected Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State in July, 1877, in place of jF. J. Moses, deceased. It was the understanding then that he was elected to fill the unexpired term the term of Moses, had he lived, would have expired in 1880. The Legislature at its present session intend to elect a Chief Justice in place of Willard. But they are met with the declaration of Willard that his term does not expire in 1880 ; that he was elected for the full term of six years, and he pro poses to hold on, fortified, as he thinks he is, by the Constitution. Article IV, Section 2, of the Consti tution reads as follows : "The Su preme Court shall consist of a Chief Justice and two Associate Justices, two of whom shall constitute a quo rum. They shall be elected by a joint vote of the General Assembly for the term of six years and shall continue in office until their suc cessors are elected and qualified. They shall be so elected that one of the justices shall go out of office every two years." Section 11 reads: "All vacancies in the Supreme Court or other inferior tribunal shall be filled by election as herein prescribed: Provided, That if the unexpired term does not exceed one year, such vacancy may be filled by Executive appointment." Judge Willard holds that by Sec tion 2 he was elected for six years ; that his term is not taked on to does not fix the time during which any particular person may be judge, but fixes the length of the term of office. For instance, Moses was elected in 1874; Moses' term then would last six years whether it were filled by him for the whole time or by any number of Judges; that the term is for on3 six years from the day of his election, and at the end of that time another six years' term begins and must be filled by a new election. The latter part of Section 2 is in favor of this construction. How could that sen tence be. carried out if Willard's opinion is correct? It would be impossible and meaningless. Sec tion 11 is still stronger; it speaks of an "unexpired term." It seems to us evident that the framers of the Constitution intended to make the term of office six years, to be filled by one Judge if he should hold office so long ; if he should die, resign or be removed the term should be filled out by the election of another Judge to fill the vacancy, or by appointment of the Governor if less than one year of the term re mained. But the question admits of two constructions. The Legislature does not propose to deal with the question of law in volved; they will elect the Chief Justice and leave Willard and the person elected to fight it out in the Courts. At this time there seems to beno doubt that Associate Justice Henry McIver will be elected; and the probabilities are that Circuit Judge W. H. Wallace will be elected to fill Justice McIver's place. Gov. Simpson stands the best chance for Haskell's vacancy. The Convict Investigation. The Senate a week ago took up the two resolutions that had been presented on this subject-one of fered by Taft, Rep., of Charleston, proposing to refer the matter to a special committee to be composed of three members from the Senate and - from the House ; the other by Mr. Crittenden, Dem., of Green ville, was to refer it to the standing committee on the Penitentiary and composed of about seventeen mem bers. Both resolutions looked to the same object. Taft's idea, not withstanding his assertion to the contrary, was to make political cap ital out of the matter. Else why such haste to get his resolutions before the Senate? On the very first day of the session he had them ready, and before there had been time to consult as to the proper mode of dealing with the subject, up he pops like a jumping-jack and offers his resolutions. He knew that the matter would be investi gated; and that it was no use to be in such a desperate hurry. As to the resolutions themselves there can be no objection to them ; in fact we prefer them to those offered by Mr. Crittenden and adopted by the Senate; and we think that the Senate made a mistake in not adopt ing Taft's. We do not believe in catering to Northern sentiment ; we should manage our own State afars in our own way and without reference to the feelings or opinions of others. We have been attitudi nizing too much already for the "North." But there are State rea sons for the adoption of Taft's reso lutions. The charge has been made that the Crittenden resolutions are intended to smother facts-that they are intended to bring about a white-washing investigation. We do not believe such to be the fact ; on the contrary we believe that the investigation would be as thorough and as impartial by one committee as by the other. But the Legisla ture should not only make a thor ough investigation but should do it in such a way as to satisfy all the citizens of the State that it is thor ough-black as well as white, Re publicans as well as Democrats. By adopting Taft's resolutions the Sen ate would have taken all the wind out of his sails, and would have left no room for any suspicion in the minds of any that they intended to smother the facts. Nothing but a thorough and searching investigation will satisfy the people of the State. It will not do to say that the Directors of the Greenwood & Augusta Rail Road are honorable men, prominent and respected citizens. That may all be true, and is true. But the fact still remains that the treatment of the hired convicts was not hu mane, that the death rate was in ordinately large, and that the offi ers in charge of the convicts treat ed them in a most brutal manner. These facts cannot be explained away by glittering generalities- The public is fully aroused on this sub Grant and jayard. In another column may be found a letter ftom Col. Ellisun S. Keitt, of this County, to the Charkston News an (ourier, advocatiug the uomina tion by the Nat iinal Democratic Party of Grant and 1)ayard f'r the P'residen cy and Vice-1re,ideucy of the United States. Col Keitt has despaired of Democratic success, and wants to mjake best of what he considers a bad bar ga'u. But he has given up too sooi ; it is not at all certain that a Democrat can not be elected Presidert; on the con trary we believe if the National Dem ocratie Convention noiinat- a good, straightout ticket it will be elected. But even if it be defeated, it i's better to wake the fight ; don't "fuse" with the Republican party ; the moment that is done the Democratic orgauiza tion will fall to pieces-will sink never to rise again. The South has tio use for Grant. It does not oppose him on account of his military record, but because lie is the representative, to them, of bayonet rule, centralized gvv ernment, whiskey ring frauds, and while in the Executive office was sur rounded and controlled by the most corrupt set of men that ever disgraced any Presidential administration. The argument that the business interests of the country will suffer greatly by a heated political campaign is a time serving and cowardly policy. Business is iruportaut; but there can be no permanent business prosperity in this country with General Grant in power. Better make sacrifices for one year, or for many years, than to turn the government over to a despot, who would rule like a dictator and to whose friends and satellites the public offices would be so many storehouses from which to fill their pockets. As to the honors paid to Grant "all around the world", that does not make him a great man nor a fit man for the Presi dency. We are fully satisfied that Col. Keitt will find few men in this County who will endorse his views. We do not doubt the sincerity of his motives, nor the honesty of his opinions; but he has displayed very poor judgmtent, and had he any influence in the State his action in this matter would tend to demoralize and disorganize the party of which he claims to be a firm sup. porter. CJol. Keitt will find it quite an up-hill business to work up a '-Grant boom" in South Carolina; but his family name anid connection will, we fear, have the effect of discouraging many Northern Democrats, for' they will be sure to attach to his ut terances far more weight than they deserve, and the Republican press of the North will be sure to flourish before the country the fact that "a prominent and influential Democrat of South Carolina has declared for Grant.'' Below we give the result of an in terview with some of the leading citi zens of Newberry County regarding, Col. Keitt's nomination: JOSEPHI CALDWELL, Member of the County Executive Committee, says that he has become almost disgusted with politics and pays very little attention to the mant ter, but is very decided in his opposi tion to Col. Keitt's views ; he doesn't wiant any Grant in his, but a straight out National party. Grant he cou silers as a spoiled egg. D)R. JAMES M' INTOSH! Is confident that Col. Keitt does not represent the sentiment of one tenth of the white people of the County; he is teetotally opposed to Grant or any other Republican onl the Democratic ticket; doesn't believe that Bayard would consent to run alongside with Grant; hasn't forgot how Grant snubbed the Hion. W. D. Porter and his committee at Washing ton when they went to himi as reprne sentatives from the Tax Payers' Con vention ; Grant is hostile to the South; believes in a square fight, and even if the Democrats can't win they should fght game-thinks it too early yet to despair of victory. JAMES S. SPEARMAN, Member of the County Executive Committee. says that Col. Keitt's idea will never do; South Carolinians can't swallow Grant ; the Colonel will find himself "solitary and alone" among the intelligent Democrats of this County in his opinion. R. L. M'CAUGIIRIN, President of the National Bank of NeAberry, says lhe is astonished at the position that Col. Kcitt has taken ; while believing h im to be conscientious in the matter he has shown very little judgment. We don't want Grant, and Col. Keitt will find it impossible to work up a sentiment in his favor in this State. JNO. B. CARWILE, Cashier of the National Bank, says that he doesn't believe that Col. Keitt an find half a dozen Democrats in Newberry County who will endorse is views; thinks he has "gone off alf cocked"; that he has spoken without deliberation, and that a sober econd thought will cause him to egret the step he has taken. MAJ. JNO. P. KINARD Says-well the Major uses an ad ective which though very forcible we omit-that it's the biggest piece of foolishness he ever heard of. CAPT. J. S. HAIR Says that if the article had come from any other Democrat he would have been greatly surprised, but he is not surprised at any idea that emanates from Col. Keitt. Considers the Colonel a man of many good traits, but espe cially deficient in judgment. Thinks his new departure will kill him politi cally "as dead as a door nail." MAJ. JAMES M. BAXTER. It is premature to fix upon any candidate at this time for the Presi dency, and especially premature to go over to the Republican party for one. Col. Keitt doesn't represent anybody but himself, and his nomination will not produce a ripple on the surface of public opinion. J. P. POOL. It is the most complete farce I ever heard of. Col. Keitt's opinions are not shared by any portion of the Democracy of Newberry County. JNO. C. WILSON. Perfectly ridiculous and absurd. If Col. Keitt is not already politically dead this new departure will put the finishing touch on any political aspi rations he may entertain. HON. C. H. SUBER, Member of the General Assembly, was found at home. He regards the mat ter as of no political consequence only one of Col. Keitt's vagaries ; %x sudden notion that struck him and which he "let off" through the News and Gourier without mature delibera. tion. The County and State repudi ates any such sentiments. J. F. J. CALDWELL, Chairman of the County Executive Committee. Grant and Bayard would be, to say the least of it, a most re markable combination-a combination of the representative of extreme Re publicanism, Centralism and Despot isw with one of the very purest repre sentatives of Democracy, States' Rights and Liberty. It is an attempt, so -far as it goes, to harmonize utterly inhar monious and irreconcilable principles. It looks to mixing oil with water. It is the prayer, "Good Lord !-Good Devil !", and must, if carried out, amount to the annihilation of both political partie&. The.people of this section are not prepared for any such step. We contend for pure, unadul terated Democracy ; and we prefer another failure of our cause to any such retreat and submission, to our enemies as would be involved in the support of Grant. If we are to be again enslaved to him and his adhe rents, we shall have to make such shift as we can to maintain ourselves ; but we can never consent to forge our own chains. The hopes of the South are indissolubly linked with the for tunes of the National Democracy, and we shall deserve, as we shall inevitably receive, the reward of renegades if we abandon our only friends to throw ourselves at the feet of our professed and most bitter foes. SILAS JOHNSTONE Thinks that Grant's chances for elec tion are good ; that if elected he will virtually be .doperor. Doesn't see how any Southern Democrat can desire his election. Says he believes in throwing the "fat into the fire" some times-but not our own fat. DR. S. F. FANT. Doesn't think that Col. Keitt's course will amount to anything ; that the only person that will be affected by it is Col. K. himself, and for him it is an unfortunate step. Y. J. POPE. South Carolinians have no use for Grant ; they have not forgoten how he used the army to uphold radicalbsm and corruption; his placing bayonets in the State House to sustain Chain berlain, and his despotic conduct in forbidding our people from celebrating Washington's birthday in -Charleston. We want no combination with Repub licanism in any shape ; least of all with Grantism. We wrote to our Representatives in the General Assembly on the subject, and have received the following re plies: WHEELER HOUSE, COLUMBIA, S. C., Nov. 7, 1879. EDiTORS NEWBERRY HERALD : In reply to yours of the 5th, asking me to give my opinion of a nomination of Grant and Bayard made by Col. Keitt, I would say : I have been for some time deeply impressed that the truest and best policy for our State and peo ple to pursue as to the campaign of 1880, is to most sedulously abstain from any attempt to dictate or control the Federal policy of the National Democ racy as to either men or measures, but to hold ourselves united and organized to support any platform and candidate that the Northern and Northwestern Democracy may think best and choose. Situated as we are this is overruling necessity. I cannot understand why this should not be the rule of all true Democrats, unless individual interest and ambition arc stronger than patriot ism and party loyalty. Just now the great danger in this State is that everybody is seeking office and the State, the people and the Democratic party are forgotten, and personal and individual politics rage rampant with ruinous intensity. If this is allowed to continue into the actual campaign f 1880 there will be a strenuous attempt to forestall the untrammelled hoice and action of the people and Cnvention, and consequent detriment to the State and people and ruinous to the State Democratic party. Let he people and party calmly choose and speak as to men and measures when the proper time comes, August, 880, anid until then let would-be, elf-'nstitu ted statesmen and political leaders hold in strict abeyance the gitation in Townships, Counties and the State of measures and men. Very respectfully, &c., JAS. N. LT anOmm The Charleston Election Comes off to day, Tuesday. The c.mpaign has been a very heated one, and the result will be im portant not only to Charleston but to the whole State. The candidates were Wm. A. Courtenay, W. W. Sale, present incumbent, and W. J. Gayer. Several months ago the friends of Courtenay proposed tc meet those of Sale and Gayer and agree upon a plan of nominationc that would secure unity and harmo ny in the Democratic party. Sale who was determined to get th nomination by hook or by crook and Gayer, who played the "Inde pendent" role, refused to agree tc anything. Courtenay was regular ly nominated by the Democrats and the Sale committee held E "primary election" the 4th instant in which all voters, Republican anc Democrat, were allowed to partici pate. Gayer received the majorit of votes, but Sale's manageri "counted him in." The fight hai been really between Democracy anm Radicalism. The conduct of bot) Sale and Gayer deserves the se verest condemnation. The succes. of either would remand Charlestor again to the control of the wors elements of the Radical party, ani would have a very injurious effec over the whole State by putting new life and hope into the Radicali and Independents everywhere. Th< prospects at this present writiNg are that Courtenay will be triam phantly elected. The entire Stat( will rejoice in such a result. An infallible remedy for Fever an< Ague is AYER's AGUE CURE.

C., November 28, 1S79. To the Editor of the lVews and Courier : The minds of our people are filled with doubt and uncertainty. Next year we will have the Presidential th election. The cawpaign of '76 was t fiercely contested. The two great parties which then divided the coun try were very nearly balanced. The ta country for a time was in peril. No , one knew what a day would bring A forth, whether peace or war. Shall the Ot - country be agaii put in peril by asimi lar contest ? Will the varied inter-- m ests and industries of the country tol- at erate it ? Already we bear the cry, ou "the South is solid." Soon it will be a proclaimed, let the North be solid. No e1 more dire calamity could befall the country than that one section should be solid against the other, where no r principle is involved, only to gratify S the hatred and to fill the pockets of the unworthy. 3 Let the people pause and reflect. I Let them lift themselves above party. Let them away with personal prefer ence, and do what will redound to the best interests of the country. In- tb stead of solid sections, let us solidify the Union. Let us move in solid A b column to the achievement of the ly grand destiny that awaits us. In the St approaching Presidential election, let us put forth as our standard-bearers, regardless of former party, affiliations, t a those whom we feel will give the ni greatest security, and are best quali fied to advance the interests of the country. Of the illustrious names before the country, Grant and Bayard are with out a comparison. Grant is the most renowned citizen America has ever pro duced. He has had honors paid him all over the world that have nevet J been accorded to any oue.before him. Since he landed upon the western shore of his country, his every utter- N ance has not oply been generous and ft noble, but kind of'our people.- He is personally known to every ruler in the a] civilized world. He has visited and " studied the institutions of every coon- i try worth knowing. He is the most H eminently qualified for the highest R position in the gift of the people, for he has had advantages no other ever Shad. He can bring influences to ad- ti -vaucc the prosperity of- the country a that no other can bring. a - Bayard, for purity of life and love ' -of country, is a household word. He is a true man. S With a generous support from the 8 intelligence of the South, Grant and Bayard would give us the most hu mane government the world ever saw. The Stalwarts in the North will be silenced and Radicalism in the South dead. The sections will be rewelded and peace assured. All will feel safe. N Th.e resources of the country will be fc developed to an extent of which we have 0 no conception. Iustead of fifty we Swill soon have one hundred millions A of people under our flag, enjoying the - blessings of this great and free gov ernment. To assert that any man of this gen- Si eration can establish an Empire upon ~ the ruins of this great government of -the people;i yes, of fifty millions of a people whose hearts are all aglow with o1 liberty, istadn. Iisunworthy p' of consideration. No one but a mad- - man would think of it. - Very respectfully, ELLISON S.
