A Dilemma.
According to ibe calculations ol
those who occupy positions entitling
them lo Know, there is V'a reasonable
.chante of electing a Democratic Pres
ident in 18yu," and therefore of ic
tu ruing the country lo ihe control of
its natural rules, the people. The
Jessens of the past few years leach us
how futile it is to advance and advo
cate measures lor the acceptance of
which the people ate not yet ready ;
how unwise in utteiing sentiments
not warranted by sound reason even
though they seem plausible and emi
nently expedient from a certain
stand-point; and how very injurious
to our own hopes it is even lo intimate,
and much more .so, ,Lo discuss ihe ex
istence of division in our party. Had
it not I ecu for the first, the tide of
adversity wotdd never have com
menced its How back upon Ihe Demo
cratic party ; had it not been for the
second, no material would have been
left lo be worked into documents to
be used against us in the next cam
paign ; and had it not been for the
tthird, there won hi have been no nc
.ccssity for such air expression as "a
reasonable chance of electing a Dem
ocratic President," but an absolute
.cer.tainty. The good people of the
country, both North and South, have
been shocked at the want of tliscre
H/n? practised by Democratic leaders
of Ihe North and the indecision which
marked the conduct of those ol the
South upon the very important meas
ures brought forward lb" action by
JLhe last tC'ongrcss. The same i.mpru
deuce manifests itself among the lead
ers in Slate polities, until the parly
Jfinds itself in the strange dilemma of
not knowing what to do, or of know
big what nut lo do.
Rolh legislative bodies, national
and Stale, arc now in session ami it
j^tiikes us as the best way out of the
trouble is for Congress lo legislate
upon no nailers hut what is lor the
interest of the whole country and the
good of the whole people, and for ihe
.'j.eneial Assembly to heap as lew
b,uidens upon Ihe people as possible
compatible with Ihe imerest and Ihe
credit of ihe State. The people need
j* season for quiet thought and a peri
od of rest from political tension be
fore lla. excitement of the next cam
paign begins. Such a quiet will nerve
them for the contest and insure suc
cess lo the party.

South Carolina Ship Cancl.
A petition w ill be prosenled at an
early day to the Legislature praying
the Slate lo open a wide and deep
ship cahal connecting the Ashley and
Cooper livers, across the the strip ol
Jam! known as Charleston Neck. The
Jjnaneinl condition of the people is
scaicely such as lo warrant the Legis
lature i.D taxing I hem, under ordinal)
circumstances, lor an enterprise ol
such magnitude; yet wo believe that
its importance lo the Stale und to our
.chief t'uiumeicial cily is commensu
rate with its magnitude as a work,
and ils completion should not be de
lated a day longci than wc hud the
abifty lo undertake ,11, livery man
in the Slate who iniscs a bale of cot
ton, or a barrel of turpentine, or a
bushel of grain lor sale, oi a stick ol
jjinber foi maikct, is deeply interest
cd jn the project. Ti c wharfage and
other lulls, now charged by private
owneia of wharves Ob every kind oi
produce shipped from Charleston, are
p^jd out of ,thc pockets of the pro
ducer, and ivo btipposc the aniouu'
thus paid by pur .citizens in-two or
.three years would qomplclc the pro
posed canal. This benefit lo the eil
i/.ens of the State alone might induce
our legislators to grant the prayer
pf the petitioners : but there arc still
/other considerations of equal impor
tance lo the city of Charleston which
ought to have an influence upon that
body directing ils action upon the
matter. So long as ijiese i xtra
charges arc made by private owners!
pf wharves, Charleston can never
jhopo to compete successfully with
other cities more fortunately situated.
Producers will sell where they can
realize the most money and buyers
ship where they have the least expen
ses to incur, which will be an effectual
bar to the progress of Charleston.
While wc, therefore, feel inclined to
opposo every measure of doubtful
propriety which calls for an expend
iluio of the people's money at tin
present lime, we must confess a dis
position lo favor Ibis.
Tho New School Bili.
This bill, which is now pending and
being discussed in the Legislature,
??provides for the establishment of
now school districts in tho several
cities ami towns and incorporated
villages of tho Stale, and to author
ize the levy und collection of special
taxes therein." According to the
j speeches of its supporters, the bill has
I been carefully prepared w ith the op
I proval of the Suporinten lent of Kdu
Jca'ion, Maj. Thompson, and is in
tended as a supplement to the pro-1
sent system by allowing the citizens j
of such town.'; and incorporated vil
lages to increase their educational
advantages by taxing themselves to
! the extent of not nine than one and
a half mills for ihc benefit of their
children, if they so elect. As the
system now operates with the limited
support of Ihb present law, thcro Is
lu^t little benefit derived from it by
the people. A few mouths of school
ing in a year have been found by ex
perier.ee to bo worth but. little?re
turning scarcely Ihe value of the
money expended ; yet iL is the best
tli-: Stale can alford as a general sys
tem under the circumstances of pov
erty and education facilities. Where
a comtcunily, understanding Ihc ad
vantages of education to their chil
dren, feel themselves able lo alford
greater facilities than Ihoso they en
joy now, this proposed law will bo a
blessing, enabling them lo run their
school under competent teachers
through the year. The only objection
we have to ihc bill is thai ils benefits
are limited lo towns ami not extend
ed lo densely populated and wcll-lo
I do country communities. There arc
j a few such in every county where
graded schools, the kind contemplat
ed by Ibis bill wo- suppose, might 1^
cslalishcd ami run the year round
with incalculable advantage to Ihc
children. Wc hope the bill will be
come a law.

Mayor Sale.
This gentleman in his eagerness to
bo re-elected Mayor of Charleston,
regardless of the will of ihe people,
has thrown himself into tho arms of
tin; Radical parly, and it now remains
to be seen what his Democratic sup
porters are going to do about it.
Will they still insist that he is the ex
ponent of true Democratic doctrine
'after his recent clfnt lo break up
an ordcity Democratic meeting bv
J leading a Radical mob lo the place
I where it was being held and interrup
ting the speakers? Is this the kind
; of man that any Democrat or decent
j Republican wants for Mayor? God
j forbid. The Radical parly, when
in full power, never attempted .such a
i high handed measure. iL win U li for
Mr. W. W. Sale to reap this distin
guished honor. Our advice to the
? Demociats of Charleston is to close
up their ranks, and give Captain
I Courtcnay such .a rousing majority
: as will forever make such another
! scene as (hat enacted by Mr. Sale
und his Radical mob impossible in
I the city ol Charleston. The best in
? leresls of ihe Stute demands thai
Mr. Sale should bo defealed. The
Democrats of Charleston know their
duty. Can thej?will llicy sec the
oily turned over to a mob? Never!
Charleston Politics.
We are afraid our Charleston
; friends have g?lten themselves into a
j muddle, ami if the counsel of the best
ami most prudent citizens don't pre
vail they will have trouble ai d per
haps bloodshed on Ihe (lay of their
municipal election. Mayor Sale claims
the light to control ihe regular police
force on election day, when the law j
provides that they shall be under the
immediate supervision of the Com*
i missioiicrs of Election. Mr. Sale
I threatens to appoint a special police
IblCC in case lie is denied the control
of the regular force. How this diffi
culty will be adjusted we know not,
but just such trouble may bo expect
ed whet ever there is a bolter Iron,
ihe Democratic ranks, or an inde
pendent candidate in the Held. This
is a warning lo the citizens of every
county in Ihe State and leaches them
j to turn a deaf car to even the slight
lost whisperings of Iudcpcmlcntism.
Such arguments, insidious as they
are, bode no good cither to the voter,
the party or the country and espe
cially so when our opposcrs stand in
solid, silent phalanx lo attack us at
our weakest point and capture the
Slate so lately redeemed.
Chief Justice,
Chief Justice Williard, of the State
Supreme Court, has thrown a bomb
shell into the ranks of tho judicial
aspirants in Columbia by claiming
that his election entitles him to n
term of six years, and, therefore,
there is no vacancy on the Supreme
bench to be tilled at this session ol
the Legislature. This view of the
Constitution seems to be entertained
oy several prominent lawyers of the
State and raises a very serious doubt
in the minds of our legislators as"to
their duty in the premises. If Jus
tice Willard insist .upon Iiis claim,
wh\ch we suppose he will do, wc sec
no way out ol the trouble whether be
is light or wrong. The Legislature
cannot elect when in doubt ; if they
elect, tho matter cannot bo decided,
because Judge Mclver, who no
tloubt would be tho successor of Jus
tice Williard, is a member of the
coutt which determines. There seems
to bo a complete bar to all procedure,
and the lingering Radical, elected for
a purpose, is likely to remain in cilice
long after the circumstances which
necessitated his election have passed
away.
Fence Law.
The article to which our corres
pondent cm our first page alludes, ami
which was published in the Dkmockat
two weeks ago, was clipped from an
exchange and was not intended to ex
press our views upon the subject
therein treated. Indeed it is not our
purpose to lake a position upon the
question until it be made an issue.
In many of the upper counties of our
Slalc the law requiring crops lo be
enclosed has been abolished and the
sentiment in favor oT the new law is
extending down to the middle coun
ties, reaching even Orangeburg, and
we conceive it to he but a mailer of
time when the ? issue will be made
even here. The discussion, therefore,
may not be out of order oven at this
time, as ils tendency will be to pre
pare our people to decide intelligent
ly upon a question which will certain
ly atlcct vcy materially their best in
terest. Let it, however, lie conducted
by the farmers in a spirit of kindness
and with a desire to reach the best
results for the people.
Ourselves.
The disagreeable discussion which
has been going on between the demo
crat and the Times for the last three
weeks, we-feel no disposition to con
tinue. Both sides having been heard,
wc have again decided lo leave the
matter to the judgment of an impar
tial public, and will hereafter devote
our energies lo the good of the O;
angeburg Democracy and the materi
al welfare of her whole people. Such
is the mission of the Dkmockat and
we proiio.se to accomplish it.
