The announcement in this paper on Saturday morning that the Republican party in this county was too dead to show the least signs of returning life, was a little previous. On that da}- the grand old party made another effort to come back to life. A sprinkling of the old war horses of the former days of good stealing were seen on the streets, and their presence was soon explained when it was announced that n Tvonlrl hp. helrl in tho Court House. The convention was appointed to meet at 12 o'clock, biu at thai hour there was no one present. About 12.15 Israel Bvrd opened the Court House, and delegates began to come in.

Happening to light a cigarette, the delegates thronged around him in droves, asking, "if yon have got another one ot them things, mister, and as the reporter accommodated each one with a cigarette and match, they separately unbosomed themselves, and stated that Fairfield wanted John Sherman first, last and all the time for President, but so far as the Congressional election was concerned, Fairfield didn't have any choice. About forty delegates nau assemoica when Israel Byre! called the meeting to order, and the call for the convention was read by the temporary secretary, S. P. Martin. Most of the delegates answered to their names. When the secretary called "Sam Johnston, of Horeb precinct," Johnston arose and said he wished to make a ccrrec tion of tbc "credentials." Uis name was "Samuel," not Sam. This correction being made, business proceeded. The first thing in order was the election of a temporary chairman. Israel Byrd was nominated. The chair, immediately asked, "Are you ready for the question?" and "question!" "question!" was echoed throughout the body. "All in favor say aye," said [ the chair. There was a heavy vote.

Delegates to the Congressional con" vention were then elected. "This convention meets in Columbia the first cf May, at 12, in.," announced the chairman. Twelve men were nominated, and by paliamentary rules peculiar to this convention alone, the following were elccted: I. S. Byrd, S. P. Martin, Isaac Miller, J. H. Miller, Jordan McCollougb, 2s. K.

Kennedy then began to kick about some delegates not receiving a majority of the votes of the convention, but the chair informed him that umuii.hu i. iiirfirldl;.mi,"ln it was not the chairs far.lt, so George took his seat. Isaac Miller then arose, and after speaking of his old and long service to "de pahty," beggea to nominaie ivir.

Kennedy bounced to his feet and made a fiery speech, saying that he was tired of all this talk about old men in the party, lie said, "When you go to repair an old broken down house you don't put in rotten timber," and he looked very significantly at the chair.

Editors: As the wave of enter!)! ise and activity that is now going over the South seems to have struck Winnsboro, at last, allovf me, through the columns of your paper to throw a suggestion across its path which I hope may be taken up and carried through to completion. I have reference to the building at once of a rail x'oacl from wmusooro to oar gniuiic quarry; or, in other words, turning the present Rockton Railroad from Rockton to "VViunsboro. The change would be of great benefit to both the granite company and the citizcns of Winnsboro and vicinity. In the first place the granite company would, in my opinion be able to secure a more steady, less roving* and, consequently, more efficient class of labor, by reason of the fact that their employees could reside in town where they would have social and religious advantages, and the benefit of our splendid school. * thus enabling the granite company to employ men of families, who would be content to come among ns and become permanent citizens. And the very small difference in the cost of transportation of rock between the way it is now carried and the way the proposed change would carry it would be more than balanced by the improved class sA labor mentioned above. The benefits to "Winusboro and * icinitv by the proposed chansre are to mv mind incalculable. The granite industry is in i'siufancv, When the "Anderson Eock?' is ope'nec ' in connection with the present quarry there will be no end to the gVanite , and with improved railroad facilities r / i I " ' KE JVE HA VE FIXED A BA1 Oue case Figured Lawns at Sic. per: One case Figured Lawns at 5c. per y 20 pieces of Checked, Stripped and I per yard.

Houses would have to be built, lots would be in demand, consequently real estate would rise in value.

This amount of cotton one year ago, if it had been shipped from Wallacevillc (5 miles nearer) would have cost $83.00, as they charge-1 25 cents per hundred pounds freight, and the buyer i now 20 cents a bale to weigh it, $16.00. Total, $99.00, making $62.00, iu 1886, more than on the freight and weighing of 80 bales of cotton, average weight 414' pounds. 5 miles nearer. They have reduced the freight from Wal-laceville to 20 cents, which makes a 400 pound bale 80 cents?twice as much noiv as then, and the weighing continues the same, three times as much now as then, a considerable difference. . I don't recollect railroad freight on a ton of guano from Charleston to Alston when first coming ir;to use, but now it costs $4,40 a ton by carload to Wallacevilic, and to Columbia (132 miles) $2.00, and from there to Wallaccville (20 miles) $2.40.

Again, I find noted that in I860 I owned 42 slaves and 1100 acres of land and other property in proportion, and sold S4 bales of cotton at an average price of 11.6} cents per pound, and in 1SG1, 91 bales at. about 11 cents, when the making of fall crops was stopped by the war. Thzn I did not pay half the tax I do now, with land to work, without buying one-half the amount of fertilizers and negroes !o cultivate it for their "victuals and clothes". In conclusion, if agriculture is the basis of all national and individual wealth, and the farmers arc to build up and support ail the villages and towns, keep ranroacis moperauwi U1IU i pay twice as ranch tax now as Then, by the working' cf lands worn and requiring an increased expense for fertilizers, hired labor and ail incidental expenses, and sell their cotton on an average of 9 or 9? ccnts, if any of them can predict a prosperous future, they have a more sanguine temperament than I have. j. m. g.

McCrady's attorneys should be added the Charleston Xews and Courier. Col. McCrady occupied several days on the stand, and as was to be expected, made a very good impres sion." When be got through the atmosphere, seemed to be very favorable to his side. Then Dr. Robertson got his inning, as the base ballists say, and he has been doing some pretty lively base running. "Tom is getting there with both feet," remarked a friend -of his on Saturday, just after he had had a tilt with Mr. H. A. II. Smith, Col. McCrady's attorney, who has the reputation of being the shrewdest crossexaminer in Charleston. Mr. Smith is a small brunette with tho keenest black eyes you almost ever saw, and black beard, and Dr. Robertson is a tall blonde with a line head, , a full beard partly blonde and partly gray, and a blue eye that is as clear as the well in the bottom of which truth is supposed to dwell.

He has as much sense, and of course knows the case better.'" Dr. Robertson keeps his temper admirably. Occasionally hegets riled, as when Mr. Smith intimated that it was much safer for him, an insolvent, to write a letter to a non-duelist like Col. McCrady, instead of to Col. Davie. "I am personally responsible to any body at any time for anything i say," was the answer." Both parties being quite angry, the Judge called them to order. "I beg pardon," said Dr. Robertson, "I have been trying to be polite. He started it." "That is true", said the judge. The plaintiffs have about proven their explanation of Col. McCrady;s remark that he had been enticed into the arbitration. The defence brought | Major Hamilton to contradict Col. j McCrady's testimony, that he had a certain judgment, which Major Hamiton did emphatically. It is utterly impossible to foretell j what the verdict will be. From the j *- l/l fAAtYt 4 O f i CUUl'SU Ui UltJ ll'IUi II ?|JUIU scum iuai j the plaintiff's counsel will argue that 1 Col. McCrady testified truly, and that I if he did make mistakes of fact there ; is no justification for denouncing him ! vilely and outrageously. The defence seem (o take the posi- j tion that they admit everything, i whereas the plaintiffs have maintained ! the strict rules, refusing, for instance, i to allow testimony to be adduced to j prove the irreproachable character of J Mr. Ailen Jories, on the ground that! his character was not directly impeached, although the charge had been i made in asserting that he sold some i certain notes not belonging to him. "Gentlemen of the jury," said Dr. j R., "if 1 don't prove every wora 1 charge give the plaintiff $i0,000, all! he asks for. Let him give it to his i lawyers, the." have earned it. Let me ' get out of Lis litigation and I will j have a plenty of money. I'll, never; put my property out of *each." The j defence wili claim that the verdict i must be $10,000 or nothing. The Judge of course is as fair as a Judge can be. He has reproved the plaintiff's side three times and the defendant's once, as before mentioned, lie charged * the jury on Saturday before adjournment that this is a very serious and important case, and they must not suffer any one to talk to them about it. When the Court convened 011 Monday Dr. Robertson again took the stand. Before answering any questions Dr. Robertson rose and asked permission to state that the report of his testimony in the News and Courier of the 22nd, "as to what Col. Haskell had said, is incorrect and false. Judge Kershaw allowed Dr. Robertson to make this statement, and said that he wished it understood that the press has no right to misrepresent testimony nor to remark upon it so as to influence the jury. After this the crossexamination* of Dr. Robertson by Mr. Smith, of Charleston, was continued. The opinion is expressed that the jurywill disagree, but this seems to be based entirely on surmise. Both sides seem equally confident of success. j. q. D.
