Wh;Te 'Pwius an~d A,) rald. WINNSBORO, S. C. Baturlay, November 10, : 1877. R. MEANS DAVIS, 9ditor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associato Editor. MAJOR JOHN H. KINSLER has a host of friends in Fairliold, all of whom congratulato him upon the oiinor so dorservedly conferred upon him by the Democracy of Richland. DAN VoORWELs, the tAll sycamore of the Wabash, has bcon appointed to succeed Morton in the Senate. The dead Senator will turn in his grave, when he hears sound Demo cratic doctrines proclaimed from the seat he held for ten years. A TELEORAM sent from Augusta on Tuesday, saying that Georgia had, as usual, gono Democratic by a largo majority, was evidently a canard. Georgia is not in the habit of going Democratic by a large majority more than about six times a year, and this is an oil' month. A MEMuEit OP cardozo's family is quoted as siaying that ho has a plenty of vioney over in England. The trouble is he wn't be able to got over thero to spend it for some time. The reverend financier should have devoted more time to laying up treasures in Heaven ; whero neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, r.nd where thieve.i do not break through nor steal. The Elections. The result of the elections is on the wholo satisfactory to the Demo crats. New York and New Jersey remain Denocratic; while Penn sylvania swings over along with I Ohio into the Democratic lino. Massachusetts is Republican by a reduced plurality. Wo do not see, however, in this resull, the evidence that the Republican party is yet dead, or that the Democratic party is sufficiently secure of the futuro o relax its vigilanco foi a moment. The tidal wave of 1874 was the result of Grantism, which had dis gusted everybody but machine Radicals ; and in this demoraliza tion of the Republican party, the Democrats effected a surprise. The desperate struggle of last year showed how the Ropublican p)arty had recovered from its crushing defeat; and taught the lesson, also, that the Democratic party was dis, trusted by a majority of the North ern people. Still, the ill effects of Grantism were felt, and this enabled Tilden to d'arry four States north of the line. But Hayes is using every effort to make his p)arty popular. Old abuses are being eradicated; and needed reforms are p)rop)osed, even i not carried out. Many disaffectel' Rlepublicans fancy they nowv Bee some glimmer of reform within, their own ranks, and p)rofer, there fore,' to return to their old love, and vigorously combat the Domoc j' ~ racy and the dominance of the "Solid South." Every victory her'e -after must be wrested from them, the fight being in the North--their * own battle ground. While the Senate will be assuredly Democratic next year, the House, now held by a frail tenure, may elude our grasp. Most of the Nor'thern States are so gerrymandered that the Democrats labor, in the congressional districts, under great disadvantages. } The odds are now in favor of the Demcras;but a false step may The whole party must move in solid column against the enemy.. Several severe earthquake shocks were felt at various p'oints in New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Caina-I da at,an early hour on Iast Sunday mornimg. Ells1 were rung, houses t shaken, glaiis arfid crockery broken, and many people rddely ' awaklened. A low, i'mbling'noiso accompanied the shocks, which succeeded each other in rapidi succession for sonme time. At .:Montrelier, Vt:, tey A R.MANIUC T iAGDY. On the evening of the0 6th int., Mr. Samuel G. Henry, Jr., livlg in the lower part of Richland county, was shot through the heart by a young lady, retpectably connected. According to the Register, Mr. Henry, wYho is a young married man of twenty- five, with a wife and three children, began visiting, about three mnonthsago, the house of a'neighbor who hia.1 a young sister- in-law, aged about oigiteen. Calling as a friend of tihe family, he was frequently en tortained during his visits by the young lady referred to. One d:ty last wcek the neighbor (Mr. Henry) called, and tho wife of the host. bemg confined to her bed, she being the mother of it week.old infan, heI sister entertained him during in-1 visit. She was greatly ustonlished on that even-im at the touno of his conversation, and upon01 his asking her Cortaill improper questiois, lie reecived inl reply to them, from the unsophisticated girl, that it Illy i.ul ever attempterd to wrIong her, she would unhesitatingly slay him.
