WINNSBIORO. 8. C. Tuesday, November 13, 1877. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associato Editor. THE RICHLAND DEMIOcIAcY Will, 01) the 16th, nominate a candidate for the House, to succeed Minort, re. signed. JUDoE rTowNsi.N) very proporly refused to grant Smalls' petition to have his caso transferred to the Ulnited States Courts, the whIole objuct of which was to aflord Almssrs. olton aid Carponter an Opportunity to lot ofl a quantity of bad gas in the hope of arraying the colored jurymen on the race and color line. Judge Townsend dis posed as follows, of that part of the petition which charged him with prejudice: The last groulnd stated, which amsisils tihe fairless and iite.grity of this court, deserves no further Col sideration than the remark that it would be as conspicuouly un - becoming in the court to notice it [is it was discourteois and unwar ranted in the counsel who presented it. It was the general opinion about here that Judge Townsend should liave caused the smnmary arrest of Messrs. Mlton and Carpenter for contempt of court, so that they might join the*r illustrious quondam political confrere Smalls in the jail of Richland, until they had Purged themselves But Judge Townends' course is, perliaps, the most proper under the circumistancos. The State can aflord to give t.he thieres all the points in the game and theln boat them. The Twin Gladiators. The great forvor displayed by Mr. Molton in behalf of his quondam political associate and present client, Major-General Siails, is eminently praiseworthy. It proves that lie is an honest man and bent on faithfully earning his wages. But does it not seem that Mr. Molton is working just a little bit. harder now than has been his elus tom in the past ; for instance, say, when he had the Commonwealth for a client ; when the State hired him-with money raised from the sale of the cabin or the cow of the * friendless widow and orphan-for the purpose of guarding thme public * treasury against thieyes? ..Wo all remember the famous old Roman sentinel, who stood at the gate while the ashes of Vesuvius were falling fast on doomed .Pompeii; how lhe made not anl effort to brush I *away the showo'r, as ilake after flake fell with blinding fury and heat uipon the city entrusted to his care. No word of waurning is recorded as uttered by him. He simply stood by', and saw the laZce, the people and the vast wealth of the city submnerge,d andI. overwhohlnod by a sea of ashes. It makes little diffor once that he was smothered with the rest. So, in later days, have we a spectacle of a paid sentinel standing with hands .folded, 'd witnessing the destruction of the lState hihrortm forl, this burisiaed snine (ichildhod, notd shied seletod on, that th erpl lively corpse, who rises to his feet in a most tragic imnnor, and wvaxos frantic over the prejudice ho finds existing in the minds of ruined citizens against tleo ashes and mnud that are fast being dumped i away. People will call mud, mud, and if it has an upleasan t ofiuvium they will not preserve it for por fume bottles, but will rather got it out of the way as raIgdly, as possi ~ I, blo. South O#aflnians ha'vo learned the smell. 6i4idioal mud pretty thorougly in the past eight years; and can searcely be accused of preftdice when they . consign it summarily to thes manure - pile despite the vehement assertions of the sentinel that it was 4sweet *melling when it first fell. We would not havo criticise Mi Molton's courso had ho devotu( himelf to Ihis duti.S a a pI acti. tionner, and coifined his %pecI to diseussion of points of IIw. 131n sinoli ho h g lgged in politics b; the ears, ho ronders himself amena bWe to politici' criticism. In con elusion, we havo only to say tha had tho e-af torney-genealbu served his State with half the zmu he has served his client, Genera Smalls, ho would not now bo seoii, his own neglected work well per formed by an able and fearles successor, in spito of his ow? frenzied oratory and theatric ges Iures. But Mr. Melton is not alonc Another combatant has shied hiL castor into the ring. This secon Richmond is the Hon, R. B. Car p1'utor, ex--jalgo of the Jifth judicia circuit. Ho Comes now to tell th< peopl of South C.1rolinial that it i impossiblo for a Southern whit' man to treat a colored iman proper ly, or to view him with any feelin. butt that of the gre:test repugnane Whene this.

We (an b Iut con jectur0 . that, silcO on a recen ociL on1 lie is said to have deriVet his legal decision from the author ities of tho law library in Washing ton, it must bo that lie has drawi his inispir'ation in reading Southerr' character from that same pur aLliosplherc. 'T'le niantlo of Mortoi has fallen uponi a'worthy successor We are hiformed that Mr. RiclLari 13. Carpenter ran his rusty ret rapier right through the ribs o rebel rctonstrtetioii, so that i fairly squawked ; and then Ilaunto'C the bloody shirt till the court house metaphorically streamed witl gore. What did Mr. Carpente; mean by this manifestation ? Th country is at peace ; the w'ork. still Imloves thereN was no apparen CaIsO for this ebul.ition.

Never having been en t.h benuch ourselves, we are unable t< est imate the motives actuating judge.
