EJire Xeius and Prald WINNSBORO, S. 0, Wednesday, yune 6, t t : 1877. R. MEANS DAVIS, 9dltor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associate E3dnt,or. Stralcor, the Jermuda MtIackeyite fri in Orangeburg, ondeavored to contost Mr. Dibble's sont in the Legislature, but on motion of Mr Sheppard, who said that Straker was in 0on1temp1)t Of the Iose, that boly refised to hel:r Uiythiug froii himt. Th'iis pusts hi an ffetaal .sto1ppr 'The SupjremIlle C2ourt will oni Frid hav hea iii gmuenit in the gto wa'rranto caso agati)st Buttz, the grouids y being that he cntni1ot hold the oico, of solicitor while ai member of Con.. gross. Shonld 3uttz, who'is a con simtnato scotanidrol, be nwopt away with the rest of the radieal rubbish, it Wonld( be an additional cause of rejoicing f )r Charleston. Justice, t under Buttt, in the first circuit, has i boen a synonym for injustico, while I the solicitor himsolf has used his I office for the promotion, rather than the sUppres.ion, of fraud and criwo. Lioutenant'-Governor Simpson was absent from Columbia on Satur day, leaving the Sonato a tie. Sey, oi'al important meeasures caie up. The Charleston Imiuicipal clcetion bill passed only through the aid of Cochran, of Anderson, while the bill to'olect a judge for the fifth circuit fail eI to p'ss, the vote standing si. teon to sixteen. 1'his was very unfortus nato. Colonel Simpson's friends attribute the icidenit to the fact that the Democratic Senators are so uncertain that lie could not fore tell that a casting vote would be necessary. If this be true, it speaks very badly for the Democratic Senators. We regrot, howevor, that the Lieutenant-Governor was ab- 1 sent. In the present crisis, his place is always in the Senate. What urgency there might have been for his absence, We coo not kuow. We l fool assured that his excuse was < good, for up to this time Governor 1 Simpson has not made a mistake, I and his firmness as presiding officer i of the$enate has been the subject c of idmiration. The Duty of the Hour. The Columbia Regiister has eOnl tined two or1 three timely and capi tal editorials in the past few (days onf the' duty of the Demiocratic memiu hers of ilw Legislature in regard to the important measures that arepr. sete to thecm.

Demand, thep, that every member of the party shall abstain the policy grood upon, or let him take his proper place in the ranks of our Opponents. There can be and there should be no middle ground. "Ho who is not with us is against us," mnd the people will speedily realize md act upon this fact. Wer must Have unity, or we lose all. for which we have CO nndudod. It is the duty f the hour to maintain and submit to party discipline, by which party .nity Imny be p reservud.

The proceed nigs have been d(esult pry in their iaturo. All this at i.,i's, as has been tated, for want of unity, tnd the longer the present :ondition exists, the more seat Orel the party will become. L little heroic treatment should be ,iod. Those very members who, ast year, hectored and abused all vho diffei d with them a3 to the ofli Icy of the straight-out movement, hould now, in turn. be brought lenselves back into the traces, and nade to work there. This is not the imo yet for the assertion of indi ridual opinions. The majority must -ule, and the minority must follow. Jnity of nation is the duty of the lour. [COMM UNICATEI).] Vecsers Editors: In your last issue apponlrod a ard from Col. J. B. Davis, dotining is position with reference to the lcction which it is understood is to )e held before a groat while for clerk >f the court. Presuming that the ubject matter thereof ii before the )ublic for fair and legitimate criti.. iswu, I ask a small space in your olumns, not for the purpose df ittacking Colonel Davis' candidacy, ut to express the utter inconsisten, y of his present position as defined )y himself, as well as to show the allacy of the reasoning by which he rivos at his cilusions. His in onsistoncy lies in the attompt to orostall the judgment of a norinat ng convention of the party, it being v'ell known that aL county conven ,ion will b)0 called to laleo in nomi jation a suitable peciron for clerk. t is equally well known that none >ther than the nominee of this con -ention will receive the support of he Democratic party'.

Messrs Gaillard and( Brice id not claim the nomination by( irtue of the action of the conven-i ion last summer, but allowed their amios to go before the committee ithout reference to their previous ~andidacy. The writer has a high ersonal regard for Colonel Davis, uit insists that his position as nuncinted in the card referred to a wholly untenable. If he aspires o the omleo of clerk of cout, let im nave his name submitted to a ominating convention, in common rith others, and I have no doubt ut that it will receive due con ideration. DEMOCRAT.
