The last issue 01' tJio Kershaw Gazette lias this remarkable paragraph: Though the editorial columns in J the Gazette, iu the future as in the past, will bounder tho control of the undersigned, vet the services of three ableand talented writers will he av'Ailal>lc and will be used as the public interest may demand." It* our friend will allow us to say so, we w ill express the opinion that any newspiper proprietor of the ability of the editor of the Gazette makes a mistake when he allows even the most "able and talented writers" to write editorials* for him." It deprives hi* paper of its individuality and weakens the inlluence of both the editor and the newspaper. Mr. Beard, 'the editor, can write sufficiently well, ami letter than any able and talented writer can write for him, and it is, in oui opinion a soro affict;ou to the readers of any newspaper to liavo thrust in their faces the nonsense and impracticablc ideas of threo "able and talented writers." Able and talented writers are-not goinj/ to waste much of their valuable time in Writing for a newspaper, unless they have an axe to grind, and the printer is ready to furnish the stone and do the turning. \Ve would Under 110 circumstances give any man the privilege of making the JVass ami lianner his vehicle for his own use. The idea that "big" names add to the dignity, tho usefulness or the prosperity of a .newspaper is ono which has long since exploded. Let the editor of tho Gazette either 'write his own cditor* ials or have none at all. Cotton Shipped *Voin Atlanta to Charleston. The new schcdulo on the Greenville . and Columbia Railroad and tho present * admirable arrangement between that road * and tho Air Line Uuilroiul aro already producing their legitimate results. Lasi Saturday the first shipment of cotton wa{ made from Atlanta to Charleston ovei <!.? rirAanvilln and Columbia Railroad, aud it is fair to presume that a good travel and a liberal transportation ol freighl will bo developed between tho "Gate City" amltho "City by tho Sea." A1 though the Air Lino Ilailroad has been in running condition for ten years, the blind opposition to connecting Charleston with tho outside world luis heretofore kept the whole of tins country cut oil from tho great advantages of that thoroughfare. Wo now feel that wo arc on a branch of tho most important thoroughfaro of the South, and, as a consequence, we shall expect a vtst improvement in the agricultural resources of this portion of the country. If Charleston could receive tho cotton of Atlanta, by this route, and the great travel which would necessarily exist between these important cities tho advantage to tho Railroad, to the country, and to Charleston would bo beyond computation in figures. By the present arrangements this route will carry a passenger froin Charleston to Atlanta in some six or seven hours less time than by any other route. The ImiaacculAt? Exhorted to "Toll Sinners of their Sins." The Southern Christian Advocate, speaking of revivals says: "What about the lay brethren, thestewards, thoclass-loaders, tlio Sunday-school workers, the good women of the Chin ch! tfan't they com o together and tell what God has done for themselves, and sing ?ndlpray and exhort each other, and provoke each other to good works, and tell sinners of their sins and their Saviour." The imniacculate and thoLord's annoinjted in these parts are ever ready to "telt sinners of their sins." As their lives arc perfect, in their own estimation, tho>' frequently "feel compelled to make somo plain statements," whenevei they want to say ill-mannered things, 01 have a desiro to busy themselves aboul theri neighbors. For our own part, w< will thank out' Christian brother if Ik give us tho names of a fow of those of oui citizens who are not "sinners," We have good authority for saying that "there it none that doeth good, no, ? not one.'! When people assume to talk of "sinners,' as a class, we like to know who aro 1101 included. Ex-Governor Simpson's Letter. * 'i rmliliyh f.hft lot Ill illlUUIUl UIIUIIlll v ter of ex-Governor Simpson announcing his resignation of tho oflice of Governor with tho intention of assuming the duties of Chief Justice. As our readers know, we have a great admiration fofr Governor Simpson, but we are frank to say that wc aro not in sympathy with him in his ef* forts to oust Chief Justice Willard. We believe that Judge Willard should bo allowed to remain in o?ce until tho expi.ration of tlio term for which he was elect\ - ed. But we presume that Judge Willard being a Republican to whom wo are so much indebted for the overthrow of corrupt rule in South Carolina, will have to vacate at the demand of a Democratic aspirant. We saj' this, not that wo have any love for Willard, or that wo are wanting iu good will for Simpson, but because of our convictions of right. We opposed the election of Willard, but now that he has boon elected wo believe iu keeping faith with him. Solicitor of the Fifth Curcuit. H. G. Bonham Esq., of Edgefield, has been nominated for Solictor of the 5th, Curcuit, which Curcuit is composed of Edgefield, Lexington, Richland and Kershaw. Each county presented a candidate, namely Mr. Bonham of Edgefield, Col, J. II. Ilobbs of Lexington, Col. ? McMaster of Richland, and Judge Leitner of Kershaw. Mr. Bonham received tho nomination on the 4th ballot. The nominee is a young man, and a son oi Ex-Governor Bonham. He has established a' reputation as a first class lawyer, and has a good practice. Ho lias the nerve, and ability to discharge tho duties of tho oilico of Solicitor with credit. Judge W11 lard. Elsewhere in tho Press and Banner may bo found the able and dignified letter of Chief Justice Willard in which he assorts his determination to hold his office until the Court shall deprive him ol it. Of course this is a question of whicl: Ihere aro two skies. The decision of tli< court in this caso may conform to the wishes of the people of the State. +? DISSOLVING TIE1VS.

To (he Honorable Associate Justices <4 the i>t pi cnic Court : (JkNti.emks?I have, after mature reflec ' tion, concluded thflt it is expedient that should make a formal statement of my posl tlun and grounds of action iu reference to tli 1 disputed Chief Justiceship. ; A contest of?sueh importance, and which If unwisely conducted, would tend to lmpal ' the dignity and usefulness or the Court , should not only po prosecuted with scrupu lous regularity und propriety, but should b evidenced us such in the records of the Court . it Is therefore fitting, in Judgment, that thl grave question, interesting this Court as in ! volvitig its organization, notwithstanding, a anticipated, It will shortly be presented to ill Court to act upon Ulna Judicial character should be stated to such extent as Is approprl I ate to its present stage. ' The Legislature,at its late session, acting ujon the conclusion that a vacancy would exls In the olllce of Chief Justice In the month o ' July la*-tpast, electet HisExcellency Govern or.simpson to till such vacancy. As the In cumbent of thntottiec I have felt bound t< . give full consideration to the question wheth I er such a vacancy can exist consistently witl reasons that Impelled nie to dellberute 01 the question I will brlelly state. The decisioi of questions arising upon the language of tlx Constitution belongs to the judicial depart nientof thegoverment.and, in the last resort to mo Supreme Court. The legislative bod; cannot conclusively determine any qucstiot of tliat character. It is competent, however lor the Legislature to take the initiative ii bringing a question of tnnt character befori the courts, Iu the present case the questloi could not;iiave arisen for consideration utiles; an election to fill the assumed vacancy ha< taken place, and a claimant of the oftlct placed in a position to assert the existence o such vacancy. That course having been ndop ted, it remained for me to consider wha duties devolved upon mo under the circum stances. I have been comcpelled by my sense > of duty to the Important otlicu which I holi to examine with a view to satisfy myowi mind whether the action of the Legisiaturi , in the premises tend in any manner to impai the constitutional privileges and stability o " the oflice and have arrived at the conclusloi , that such Is the case. It would be Improper at this time to stat< i the grounds of this conclusion, as the questloi , will doubtless assume a Judicial :orm, and ii that state admit of full discussion. Ills sutll > cct Tor the present to say that my action pro coeds from a deliberate conviction that tin * term of office of the Chief Justico of the su preme Court Is six years, and that the Legis lature Is competent to elect to nil that oitic tor that term alone, if that is a true construc tlon. then a vacancy did! not exist as the Leg islature asumed, ftnd tuelr action on tliat at sumption was inoperative, i uo not, icei at tie , erty, against my nriii conviction, to allow tin 1 question to be disposed of by the leglslatlvi branch of the government In a manner thn would displace the proper judical function o ' the Court, and would be apt to be regarded a: a precedent ^practically! settling the ques tlou against what! believe to be the trne In tent of the Constlutioii. i In view of the foregoing considerations,?; am constrained to decline to vacate the oiMci of Chief justice in favor of the present clal , mailt. It is my desire that the present contro ' versy should be submitted toCourt at tin earliest pratlcable day, 60 a-s to cause the leas delay and inconvenlece to the business of th< Court, and in a manner to suit the high char actcr of the otllce which Is the subject |of dis pute, and huve reason to believe that Gov 1 ernor Simpson Is actuated by the samcdeslrt i and motive. The view that I entertain of the naturo o the question thus presented is, that It do , volvcs upon the Judicial authority to deter mine which is the proper Incumbent of tlieof tlecj. As that determination affects claims o , Individual rluht It should bo asserted in j formal proceeding appropriate to determine questions of a like character as alluding othei public offices. In tlio meantime, until tin 1 rightfulness of my position can be Judicially determined In accordance with the law deter mining the succession to public olllce, I re main Invested with the functions of the office I have the honor to. be very respectfully our obedlentaervant, A.

E. G. Graydon, Esq., continuing, said?Mr. President, I confess there Is one thing I have some doubt about, and that Is the propriety of allowing all who voted in ISTii or lsTtf to 0 vote iu this primary election. Those of us r, who were in thisCourt Houso at the Had leal meeting ten days since, saw many delegates present, acting in full fellowship with the a ltadlcul*, who professed two years auo, anu four years a?o to be iirdent Democrats. I know It is hard to get a system which would ho entirely free from objections, but we can at 1 least correct some of the abuses that now ex- t] 1st. In the past, at more than one box iu this County, dozens, scores, yes hundreds of ltad, leal negroes, men who never have voted the ?, - Democratic ticket in any general election, )( were urougiuui on mv ukhhuik ? hjv .. i' ury Klectlon, unrolled In tho club, and allows> ed to vote for the candidates. The beauty of ? - our Primary system Is that, if fairly conducti ed, no one can become the nominee of the 1 party unless he Is the choice of a molarity ol ? I its members, but if ltadicnls are allowed to ? a vote in it, who can say that one elected by it - Is the choice of theparty? -Would it not be i easy to trlng in Uadlcals in sutllclently large i( II numbers to control the election and defeat - the will of tho majority? The aim of this ^ I plan is to correct that ablise. I think every * a I one will agree thatno proxy votes should be ^ - received, and that no one under twenty-one * ?j years old should bo allowed to vote. My idea i 111 requiring (he managers to send up two lisls - Is that !n wise there should be any contest a about persons who are not members of the 1! club at which they offer to vote and the b I County Club decides they are not entltlod to , vote, the candidates for whom they vote t shall lose their votes. My idea for requiring ll.stK of nil i>ci'Nuiis -who were members of the II club thirty days before tlie election, 1h to f i keep these Radicals from being run in at the i | lust and allowed to vote. I do not think it is <i | fair that inen who will have no voice In (l 3 i electing the nominees, should have? I l>r. Noel?I object to Tno 0111 iwiuinni. i i 8 - am not willing to exclude any body from the - primary election on such grounds. There 51 are lots of white men who are not members who want to vote.

IMPASSIONED AND ELOQUENT SrEECII B DR. HAWTHORN.

We are now, as i were, bucklingou ournrmor, getting ready t don t!io insignia of victory, red shiris, of vi< tory to encounter the invading foe to pr< servo and nuilutain the glorious achievi meats of tlie memorable struggle of '70. ot banner lias again been unfurled to the breci imprinted upon its beautiful folds the Impa tiat inscription "equal rights to all under tii law." The platform of '70 has been adopte and Its principles reatlirmcd and it bchoovt the Democracy, as a body politic, not to dev ate 0110 iota in carrying tliem out. Let Ju tiee have her reward, even should the lieai ens become disjointed und tumhlo down ti to the unfathomable depths of Pluto's infer nat abode. Mr. Chairman, I am rather o] posed to party strife, but,as there exist tw political parties antagonistic to each other" regime, 1 belie\ e'it tu be a necessary evil tiiu cannot well be dispensed with at litis timi Tiie primary system is, apparently, an excc lent method of selecting nominees, provide it is not circumscribed, adapted to a Ccrtai class; anil also conducted squarely and falrl dealing out even handed Justice to ever Democratic aspirant. And 1 hope tills intell gent body to-day will remove all obstacle and succeed In rrcctlng a formidable bu wark around Us polls that will deiy tho el trance of fraud, deception and chichaneo Our party iniut dl.scoutenanee evil perpetrit lions ill every conceivable feature, in order t Keep corruption at a proper distance. Its sa vaiion is hinged on its purity. Let every li dividual without discrimination of colo; who desires to exercise tlic right of sullrapi register his name, In good faith, upon tli Democratic roster, prior to depositing hi ballot. The point Mr. Chairman, more espi chilly that, i desire to direct your at ten to and lor I ho consideration of this delegaliot is the Iti'lll'.ercnce or unconcern that wo ar manifesting towards the colored voting eh inent. It really appears that we Ignore the! right of eufranciiiscment. or seem still-neck ed, exalted lo such a pitch that we can no humble ourselves to ask them to "fall in" ir to our ranks anil aid us in select ing nominee! I hear It whispered, yes, within the large are of candidates, that we are independent, in vincible,;care not a "continental"about soli< iting their votes, especially at Itic prlinaiiw Such stulf is nonsensical in Hie extreme am merits theseal of condemnation. Much rasl sentiments, .Mr. Chairman, is not In tieeori with tlic principles that we have espousei and promulgated. Our Inattention lo th colored voter^clearly Indicates that we wouli rather for him to keep aloof from our priiiin ry polls and reserve his vote for a more or portunc occasion.*,Such manifest indifferentdemonstrates to the outside world that w only wish to manipulate litm its a tool for ti cut when we deoni It necessary for tiio prt motion of our selfish purposes, i assure yot if i received such treatment; virtually dt barred from casting my ballot under the prl marysystem.

Capt. M. Ij. llonhnni?Mr. Chairman, J heartily second Ihis resolution. Tiie very essence of the argument in favor of the primary system Is that there may be a full, free vote, and a fair count. Ilut such cannot he had where this practice of plumping is resorted to. He who receives a nomination by this means is no more the representative of the majority of the voters than Is he who receives the nomination by a packed convention. This resolution docs not propose to restrict any man In Ihe rieht of selection of his candidates, hut It simply proposes to make known thefacttlmt It sets Its seal of condemnation on this Iniquitous practice.
