~Ehe ~etus and ; )eraid. WINNSBORO, S. 0. Thursday, November 28,: 1877. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Assoolate Editor. TilE RECENT storms destroyed a vast amount of property and pre vented travel several days. Mn. Nonrinor IS been removed from tho position of district attor noy, in consequenco of some irrogu larity in his appointmont. CoLS. T. S-rono FARROw and W. R Cathcart were candidates for tho position of Clerk of the Senato, vice Woodri, abdic:.tAd. Col. Farrow received the Democratic caucis nomination on the sixteentli ballot. ON TIM 7th of December, Georgia will vote upon her new constitu tion, and on the question of re moving the capital from Atlanta to Milledgeville. Tho constitution will bo adopted ; the capital ques tion is i'n doubt. PATTERSON 1. IWehavinlg Most beautifuily in the Senato, ' In the Butler-Corbin controversy, ho is sticking to tie Democrats closer than a brother. Perchance, repent ance has struck him amidships. All criminals repent before they die or aro hangod. A MONT1 Aoo the Now York Times 811Aw fit to cry persecution beellse the pooplo of South Caro lina .ccused Patterson of bribery. Now, thle Times chlarges openly' that Patterson has been bribed by Senator Butler to voto for his admiksioi. That dirty sheet blows hot and cold by turns. Con. RIcIIAn LATERs has been declared elected to the New York Senato by a majority of eleven. Two hundred an.1 fifty votes cast for Judge Robertson, his Republi can competitor, were thrown out because of irregularities. There upon the Radical papers announce that the Senate, which is Republi can, will recount the vote and unseat Latbers. But unfortunately Judge Robertson was one of the "visiting statesmen" who went to Louisiana and promulgated the doctrino that there 'ean be no "going b)ehinld the returns." It is retributive jnastice that this chris tian statesman is hoist with his own petard. The Legislature and its 'Duties. The Legislature assemlJd in Columbia on Tuesday the 27th, under far different ausp)icos from those under which that body met last year. As a result of the Demo cratic victory thus achieved, no soldier paces the State H ouse grounds; The peoll are once more sup)remo. The question with the Legislature now, is not what President Grant wants, or wh at General Ruger will permit ; but what the people of South Car'olinai demand. The eyes of the legislator must be t u-rned hom w~ard. And no emnpt.y spectacle greets the eye. On every hand arise causes for matutre deliberation and cautious legislation. The whole State lies prostrate. Thue peop)le, freed from the heavy political weight, are still laboring under the fearful financial depression which it entailed. Any legislation that can assist in lifting the people ups must be enacted. Obstacles must be removed. The State govern ment IMust become a helper of the poople, not an incubus. It is impossible to enumerate at once all the nieeded reforms to be contemplated by the Legislature. A few prominent points, can, how ever, he0 suggestedl. In the first place, Judge Wright. sho.uld be summarily hauled down from the supreme bench, if ho does not anticipate matters by resigning, Then the Legislature should cas6 about and put the ablest and purest jurist, whover he may be, ,in the vacant soaki Nowv is the tine to -rentore the' Sipreme Court hilly tg its pristine reputati6n. 'The next; huunan abanMl be the. renulaiumi of railroads running through tho Stafo, against all of which grievous complaints havo been raised of gross violations of the rights of stock holders, and unjust and exorbitant rates of tariff on freights. Another question of serious moment is - the publit debt. This should be caro. fully scrutinized, and overy dollar of frauduuent obligations thrown out. But the most important and the most perplexing question of all is the levying. of a tax for the present fiscal year. The State needs moncy and must have it. But on the other hand the people are poor, miserably poor, and the profi.ts of the present crop abnost infinitesimal. The long list of delinquent taxpayers shows what dilictilty has bee found in meeting the levy for last year. Can it be imagin ed that, with another tax in January, this list will not be in definitely incroased ? In plain words, the State cannot stand an other tax this winter. What por tion of a 'new tax, it can pay is for tho Legislaturo to detornime. The end to bo accomplished is the re duction of the tax to a still smaller figuro than at present, and the levy of a portion of it this w inter and of tMe balance next fall. Every Democratic Legislature in the Soouthern States has been consured by its constiLucents. We trust, our Legislature will prove an exception to this general rule. The members should aetA wisely aind should have a greater solicitude for the welfare of the State than f(*r their own personal aggrandize ment. Let them remember, too, that in making or marring them selves, they will mako or mair the State. ifIYMEEXE1A Ti. 3AlTIM:ID, on iitar ei(e, November 1. m .h i'14,1e of o. I. homi',on.
