T.ile HOr ad.' THOS. F. GRENEKER, E W. H. WALLACE, s NEWBERRY, S. C. WEDNESDAY, MAIR. 21, 1877. W ASnNGTON, March 19.-It is quite likely that the Attorney-Gen eral will to morrow report that Hampton is Governor of South Carolina, de facto and de jure. The President and the House. Hayes is the first President of the United States that has entered upon his office with a majority of the House of Representatives op posed to him. If the House exer cised that power and influence upon the administration that it should exercise, Hayes would have to shape his ecourse to please the majority of the people. The House represents the people more closely .and more truly than either the Senate or the Chief Executive. This being a Democratie government the voice of the people should control the nation. But it is not so. The peaple, in this democratic country, - hiae far less influence in shaping the policy of the government than in monarchical England. The ten dency of England has been for three centuries past more and more to -drt popular governmient ; while ir this country the tendency is gradua toward a despotism. Our Ruler, or President, is almost en Iirely independent of the people ; he can obey or disobey their wishes as he chooses, and they can not reach him. True, they have the opporfunity of changing their Ruler evei-y four years by-electing another; birt this one can step into the White House and bid defiance to the peo 'ipresentatives. The one thing tis coinryneeds is some speedy ani effectual way of removing the Presi'dent's advisers-his Cabinet. T1hen an Opposition party in Con gress would amount to something. Tirmthe-voice of the people would be1idard and heeded, not only onice in every fdur years, but all the time. Then this government would be, in practice - as wvell as theory, a popu lar government. It ought to be so that the House of Representatives could remove any Cabinet officer by a vote expressive of their want of confidence in him, or of dissatisfac tion with his course. When a ma jority of the people's representatives -are opposed to a Cabinet officer he -has no business in the Cabinet.' This would not only secure a more popular form of government, but would diminish greatly the evils and excitement of Presidential elec *tions. If some such feature be not incorporated into our system, there is every reason to believe that this country will before many years be come an unmitigated despotism. "The Lady or the White House." A great many persons and papers are expressing admiration for Mr. Hayes. Well, whatever may be said of him, his better half has certainly marked out a course of policy that deserves admiration. For several years Washington society has been notorious for its extravagance. The wives of Cabinet officers and Sena tors vied with each other in profuse display of diamonds, laces, silks and other costly fineries. Many have been led to believe that men in the highest positions of office have been compelled to resort to questionable means, outside of their salary, to procure the necessary money for all this display-at least, this was the case with Belknap and his beautiful wife. Mrs. Hayes has set the example of simplicity in dress. While she dresses elegantly, as her position requires her to do, she gives no en couragement by her example to useless extravagance. At a recent reception she appeared in high neck dress, without diamonds, and near ly all the lady guests, in deference to her tastes, did likewise. There is no telling the infiuence that such a course will have. It will disarm rivalry in dress. Cabinet officers and Senators can then live on their saaries, with out having to resort to improper means to keep their wives and daughters "in style-" It en courages honesty, and when honesty becomes firmly established at the National Capital the whole country Newberry College. We are glad to know that. what soever else the fire may have burned out, it did not burn out the interest the community feel in this Institu tion of learning. Some who suf. fered most severely by the fire are contributing most liberally to this object. Well done. Now, let every body put his shoulder to the wheel and push. If you cannot do a great deal, do all you can. Every little helps. A great many litte things make a big thing. No one should stand aloof because he cannot put down a five hundred dollar sub scription. Give two hundred, one hundred, fifty, twenty five, ten give something, however small, and give as much as you can. Newberry must have the College. She needs it. She needed it badly before the fire. She needs it more than ever now. Nothing would do more to build u-p the town. It would bring in capital. It would induce others to move into town. Property would rise in value. Our merchants, who have been the chief sufferers by the fire, would get more trade, and their losses would be largely com pensated. There is not a single interest of the community that would not be benefited. Taking only a business view of the matter, Newberry cannot afford to lose the College. We have had plenty of time to think. The time for action has come. Only two weeks remain be fore the meeting of Synod, when bids are to be considered, and the matter is to be decided. What you do, do quickly. News. There is no news of any conse quence or interest. A great many rumors are afloat, but nothing def inite. The latest rumor is that the U. S. troops are to be withdrawn from.the State in a few days. - It may be true. There was talk of a new election; that idea is aban doned. It is possible that the President inay send a committee to the State to effect a compromise If so, it will be some time before a settlement is reached. But we con fess we don't know anything at all about how matters will be arranged. The stupidest school-boy who is to day poring over his multiplication tables can tell you just as much as we can, or any other person not in the secret of the Washington Ad ministration. Our readers will.just have to do as we propose to do wait and see. Immigrationi. Greenville and Spartanburg are constantly receiving additions to their population by immigration. Immigrants seem to prefer the Piedmont belt of the State. The reason no doubt is, that that part of the State is less affected by radical rule than the lower counties. It shows what the whole State might expect from immigration if we had a good government, with political affairs in a settled con dition. Editorial Review. Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, has resigned his seat in the United States Senate. Hiram P. Bell succeeds Ben. H. Hill as Congressman from the 9th dtrict of Georgia. Hayes has four children; a daugh ter, 13 years of age, two sons at Harvard College and one at home. The Abbeville Medium nominates Gen. Samuel McGowan for Chief Justice of the Supremo Court of the State. Four negroes, murderers of Port man and Hausman, at Aiken, Nov. 2, 1'76, were hanged at the above place last Friday. Gov. Hampton has been invited to deliver the anniversary address befoe the Literary Societies of Trinity College, N. C, in June. In the New Hampshire election, the 13th instant, the Republicans carried the Sta'te. The Democrats elected one out of three Congress men. ~Statu quo. The annual meeting of the stock holders of the South Carolina Rail Road and the Southwestern Rail Road Bank will be held in Charles ton the 10th of April. A Pan-Presbyterian Council will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland, in July. Dr. W. S. Plumer' and Rev. J. H. Bryson, of Columbia, are dele gates and expect to attend.

Mr. Pearsall at last dis covered a method by which an abso lutely perfuct picture is produced. In order to prove his discovery by math en acutical demonstration, he took sev eral pictures from the same negative, and on the same paper, only reversing the grain of the paper, then by cut ting off strips of the different pictures and putting them together, matching a them only in a single part, he proved oil beyond the shadow of a doubt that a 1P' distortion existed, which was scarcely ad dreamed of, even by professional pho ad tographers. The discovery is a re ay markable one and is calculated to work a radical revolution in photo g- graphy. Mr. Pearsall has secured ca- lett;r s patent. It looks as if he had ys struck a big Bouanza. No respectable all photographer can afford to be without a the process which enables him to ad make a perfect picture.

The latest horror was made at public during the last week. A wretch th by the name of Valentine succeeded Qy in gaining the affections of a young ho girl about four years ago, they were in clandestinely married, and on"its dis Es, covery the pair came home to live t with the girl's mother. Innm'ediately ed after marriage he began a system of *d- brutal abuse which it would curdle he your blood to relate ; suffice it to say, -er that in four mouths, all bruised and en maimed, his wife became a raving it maniac, and had to be sent to a mad It house. After a time she recovered re- and went to live with him again, when ed he abused her more dreadially than ar; before. She had two younger sisters, ed and these girls he ruined, and it was ..5, the situation of the youragest sister, a at- child of thirteen, that led to the dis ar- covery of his crime. He is now in ol- jail, awaiting the action of the Grand id Jury. a Poor Matilda Heron died last Wed ed nesday night, ending a sad and stormy ed life. In 1853 she was married to ud Harry Bourne, at that time District us Attorney for the city of San Francisco, e and one of the most promising young ,n. lawyers in tihe State-that same after n- noon, immediately after the ceremony [ly was, over, she stepped aboard the ire steamer for the East and never saw te, him again alive. She afterwards he married Mr. Stoepel, while Bourne ed was still living, but notwithstanding air the fact, on the death of Mr. Bourue be she stepped in to claim his property ; te she was thrown out of court, however, trs and from that time seemed- to run as down hill, and so the curtain drops on es the last act. jial By the way, tell the folks out your ye way to give no encouragement to this new faugled instrument called the a telephone.

Mrs. Doolittle a sort of suspected that all was s-not right, so she slipped down to Bos ton. saw Prof. Bell, and then bribed I the cler~k of Tremnont to allow the Pro k'fessor to put a telephone in 37, .(the oroom had been selected by Mr. D.) dBy the evening train she slipped back to Darwin's Corners. She stationed fherself in the telegraph office, and quietly awaited the result. All went on smoothly till 7 a. m. next morning, o- when she distinctly heard a voice say, e"Godfrey Doolittle, what on airth have you done with my hair pins." Before noon the whole town was in acommotion. Miss Wiggins is afraid to come back. people talk so hard about her. Doolittle, who was a dea con, by the way, is already expelled from the church,and Mrs. D. is suing for divorce, and expects to get all the Ideacon's property.

C., S 'March 14, 1877. 1 It may be premature, but meu are t already counting the de:-d statesmen h left on the field after the first fight of the new administration. The only ti one who has arisen and publicly ac knowledged his own death is the Sena- t U tor from Pennsylvania, Simon Came. a ron. His removal from the Chair. e nanship of the Committee on Foreign r, Relations became a necessity when he ti denounced the new administration. a He, it will be remembered, succeeded Sumner, who was removed because not on good terms with the President or Secretary. Cameron has resigned. There was no refuge from disgrace but resignation, and resignation is a con fession of defeat. l With a wonderful agility not equal- J led even when he was alive, Senator 0 Blaine is moving around seeking to1 delude himself and others into a belief c that the breath has not left his body. s It can be nothing but a delusion. b Aside from distributing a share of the t secondary plunder that somebody must a control, it is difficult to see wbat in-j fluence he can have with the Adnin- p istration in the next four years. He 'I could no doubt have had his friend ~ Hale put into the Navy Department, a but failed to get him the Post Office d Department, and asking them to name Ih another for the Navy was refused.f I have never thought that Hamlin0 cared to take any active part in poli tics during the present term, so when he falls with his friend Blaime it is r anticipating a seclusion which he t' would have sought at an early day. b The case of Senator CJonkling is different from any of these. He is t not old, like Hamlin and Cameron; he t comes from a State which may, in the a event of a change in its politics, comi- S pci his future recognition. Though in the whole Cabinet of Hayes there i, is probably not one man that Conk-o ling would have suggested, and there s are several to whom he feels a pro- r found aversion, and he is. thus more pointedly insulted than any other h prominent man, -there is yet in him d and his surroundings something that a seems to give him a chance of sur viving-.t Chandler's friends said he could s come to the Senate from Michigan if ti he wished to do so, Christiancy taking h the place on the Supreme Court Bench, but that chance is of course lost. The scheme of sending Vice-Presi dent Wheeler antd other prominent offiials through the South, ostensibly to study the condition of affairs and effect compromises in South Carolina and Louisiana, but really to find outC if such representatives of the new Republican party could awaken any entusiasmi among the whites of the Southi, is still urged. If Messrs Wheeler, Hoar and others go on this mission, they will go "by authority," and everything possible will be done to induce exhibitions of satisfaction and support wherever they go. Secretary Evarts in selecting Fred. W Seward as First Assistant has done the best thing that could be done. Mr. Seward has experience, I having filled the same place when his father was Secretary of State. He has executive ability also, and a courtesy tia never tires.
