EDITORIAL NOTES, The President is sitting up nt Long Branch viewing t he ocean. Gen A. E. Bum side died on Tiles day morning. It looks very much like Ohio is going Democratic once agaiu. Sidney Lanier, tlie poet, died at Try on City on last Wednesday. One of the guards shot at Guittcau in his cell last week to kill him. The "Wet" ticket was elected in Union on Monday by 100 majority. It Is very clear that the Republicans are seriously alarmed about Ohio. Let us hope that Long Branch May moan long life. Is Long Branch the capital of the United States now? Senator James Cnllison is preach ing sermons to the people of Edgelield County. A white boy, 18years of age, was whipped to death in the convict camp in Georgia on Monday. Efforts arc being made to reestab lish the old Citadel Academy of Char lest on. The Legislature will have enough to do next session, and il will be hard to stave off a family row. Hon. Samuel J. Tilden isestimatcd by a New York correspondent to be worth $10,000,000. ?A colored marshall was killed at Florence on Tuesday by another colored man while making au arrest. It is wrong to array public opinion against Guitcau. Whether guilty or not, be should have a fair trial. A terrible storm visited Wilming tou ami the coast further North on last Friday unroofing houses and doing great damage. The office Of Mayor of Louisville is going a begging. Truly the millcni urn has come when Kentucky Demo crats refuse office. They'll refuse drinks next. Virginia is afflicted with clrougth and Ma hone at the same time. This is sad; New Oileans when she had Ben Butler, was spared yellow fever. The municipal election in Aikcnon Monday resulted in the choice of a Mayor ami one Alderman from the "dry" ticket and live a I derm eh from the 'wet' ticket?a drawn buttle. The Abbeville Medium proposes the appointment of a Lien Commis sioner to adjust dillictiltics between merchants and fanners. Another Medium joke. The Trade Issue of the Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist last week was filled with cuts and illus trations of that growing city which docs credit alike to the city and its representative paper. A little child of Mr. I). Holland of Florence was killed last week by the bursting of a kerosene can while she was attempting to pour the oil over a lire-place. Bislibp Ponick of the Episcopal Church, writing from Liberia, gives a- dreadful account of tilings there. Starvation bass visited the place, and the people arc robbing and killing each other for food. His tide is piti ful. The Democratic party of the coun try is looking up again after the Waterboro defeat of '80; and if some other blunderer don't make stupid speeches about the principles of J nek son and Lee, and about the Solid South, we may yet get up out of our ashes. Mr. Henry Cashin of Augusta died in Charleston on Saturday from an over dose of Laudanum, fie was a young man of excellent family nnd it is the belief of bis friends that he did not intend to take his life. Col. John P. Moore, law partner of Gen. A. C. G aldington of Greenville, and a public man of considerable dis tinction, having occupied ninny offices of trust, committed suicide at his homo last week by poisoning him self. He had been addicted to gambling, and being unable to settle for moneys which were left with him, in trust, be committed thedepd. A considerable discussion has been gotten up by the press of the State upon the subject, of the ??Negro ns a Farmer" in consequence of an editor ial of the News and Courier to which exception is taken. The*truth is the increased prosperity of tlie. conn try is not owing to cither race separately, but to the superior energy, enterprise and economy of the whole people i'u duccd by necessity. In regard to the President's health lit the time he was wounded the pub lic lias erred in supposing that he was physically in first-rule condition. Ou the. contrary, it was quite bad. To use a homely phrase, he was like a horse in a pasture. He. had been suffering from dyspepsia as well as from hemorrhoids, and had been compelled to uude/gu an operation for fistula. With the great mental strain incident to the Presidential campaign ami the subsequent cares of pllieCj wen; lidded An/anxiety on acco'int. of his wife's illness," which the public has never luio.wii.~~!N.

Upon the counting of the voles at the close of the polls on Tuesday night, the following was declared as the result of the election for Mayor and Aldermen of our town; Independent Ticket: For Mayor.

After the Ituttlc. It will be a matter of surprise to many of our readers abroad, and throughout the county, that the muni cipal ticket nominated by the Demo cratic Club was defeated on last Tu es day. As soon as the regular Demo cratic nomination was made eonside able opposition arose and developed in strength every day. The politic al line was not accepted by ilie oppo sitiou, but various issues of a differ ' cut character were eilcocssfully sprung, which completely divided the w hi top, whilo tho blacks were solid on the color line. A panic, was also got ten up on tKc subject of prohibition which had its effect. The parly ques tiou was ignored although eve ry cflort; was made, on the one side, to keep it prominently forward. If mit. takes have been made, let us endeav or to profit by them in the future. So far as the majority of the ticket elect ed is concerned, we have no doubt that the affairs of the city will bepro perly administered; but what will be the future politicaleffect of the elec tion it is hard to calculate. lint, ho?>ever this may bo, wc hope, if any animosities or bitter feelings have been engendered between Dem ocrats in our little contest, that time may heal them all. and that wc may present a united front in the next charge upon a common foe. The Hen Law. The Lancaster Lnhjer thus speaks on the above subject in connection also with the Fence and Prohibition excitements: "This is the most important and perplexing question that our legisla tors will have to deal with at the en suing session. The prohibition and fence questions sink iiAo insignifi cance beside it. South Carolina to day has the best liquor law of any State in the Umoii?the State of Maine not excepted. Under the pro visions of the present law the sale of all intoxicating drinks is confined to cities, incorporated towns and vil lages, and is optionnry with the citi zens of such places to permit iis sale. The question of fencing the stock should, and no doubt will remain a local issue. Hence, our law makers will in their wisdom yu slow upon these two issues. But, upon the repeal of the li?u law there is a diversity of opinion. Recently the State Grange, and the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, held a joint meeting at Greenville, The sentiment express ed at this meeting was for the im mediate repeal of the lien law. These two Societies arc composed of men of wealth, principally hind owners, sind consequently never experienced the pinching necessities of the small fat liters. One year stgo we were in favor of the repeal of the lien law, but. the present condition of the country wili not warrant it." ?The ft 1 lowing mcdit sd con lection cry to be found, fresh and reliable, at Jos Eros, confectioner; Chlorate potash, aromatic tablets, King's tar drops, vermifuge confectionery, Ca lit bria licorice drops, marsh mallow ! drops, pure maple sugar and a large I assortment of line candies. * The Work of the Comiuit^ioa. The Commission appointed by the Legislature to suggest changes to the Constitution have finished their la bors und arc ready to present their report. The majority of the Com mission oppose the calling of a Stale Convention for altering the Constitu tion, but prefer the means which '?the Coustitut'on itself provides for its own amendment, which is simple, inexpensive, easily understood, and which cun obtain, a, full expression oftheopinion of the people thereon, and at the same tinic guard against tcude, hasty ami impatient lcgisla itih." The following are the suggestions, or proposed alterations, which will be submitted to the Legislature and hen to the people lor ratification or not: Fist; that '.he Judges be elected to Servo during good behavior. This wc think will be a great improve ment ou the present system. The idea of a Judge condescending at every recurring election to court the favor of the peoplein order that hemay continue iu his oilicc, is contrary to every principle of the administration of justice. It is a terrible thought i for a Judge to become a wire-puller and intriguer in ord?r to 1 eta in or secure his position. If there is any public official who ought to be uii Iraintiieled and free from every in j (luctiCC it is-the Judge. The making j of his term for life or during good be havior will lift him above such in llucnees and enable him to dispense justice with an even hand. The sug gestion of the Commission on this head is a good one and we hope and j believe will be adopted. Second; that among the crimes which disfranchise .1 voter, "burg lary" should be substituted for "rob bery," hud that larceny, perjury and forgery should be added. Wc also commend this alteration, and every thiug that protects the virtuous against the vicious of society. Third; that the Governor and all the State ofllecrs, and Senators and 111 embers of the H<*use.of Representa tives should be elected for four in stead of two years. This provision we also think a good one as it will save us from such frequent elections which tend so much to distract the co tin try. Fourth: that County School Com missioners be appointed by the Stale Hoard of Education instead of-elect ed by the people. The object of ibis j is doubtless to Secure greater intelli gence and adaptability to the re sponsibilities of this iiiiportant^illlcc. in counties where incompetent men are elected, and especially in Radi cal counties, this will bean improve incut. Other suggestions have befell made by the Commission which we will not touch upon at this time. Upon, the whole, we regard the recommenda tions as good. We a rep uly surpris ed that nothing bus been done look ing to the perpetuation of good government which the people expec ted but we will O'iiy hope for the best.
