The Status of the Next House of Representatives. A correspondent of the Pbiladelphia North A mericon. writing from \Vash. ington, under date of April 8. says: I am enabled to give, in advance the official statement that the next House of Representatives will be Democratic beyond all question, and - to have with certainty three of the officers certain to be elected In view of the fact that there are a thousand and -one., ruwors and misstatements being -msde -every hour in the day about this lmportant matter, it may not be. uninteresting to give in full the facts a%nd fgures, as obtained. fro!m unquestioned authority, to show that the Democracy have the very best of reasons for claiming the organiza tion, and that the alleged dissensions are without foundation.. The House, when 'complete, is con posed of 293 voting meinbeis. The Territorial Delegates are not included. They have no vote, and do not go into party caucus. . LIST OF ST.TES. AND REPRESENTATIVES.

That is to say, even if Clerk Adams does not place upon the roll the names of. either party, -leaving the House to be the judge of the -cases after its organi zation. THE NINE.. CONTEBST$. The districts in Louisiana in dis pute are the Third, Acklin (Dem.) vs. Darrell (Rep.), and the Fourth District, Elan (Demn.) and Smith -(Rep.). The Fifth District will be iepresented by Leonard (Rep.), while the Sixth will be represented by :Rob ertson (Dem.); the First by Ellis (Dem.),.and the Second by Gibson. -(Demu.) The two ~disputed districts 11l not go on the roll. The others are already on the roll. The Colorado dispute is between Petterson (Dem.). and Belford (Rep.). The iatter'was elected in' October and -the former in November. The dis pute is in which month should the .election have been held. Neither of -these contestants will go .on the roll. The Florida dispute is in the Sec ond District, and-is between Finney (Demn.) and Bisbee (Rep.). The Democrat from the First District is on., the roll and undisputed. It is probable that Finney's name will be -placed on the roll, although it is not yet done. The Missouri case is between Met endfe, Republican, and -Frost, Demo e rat. The .majority was. o.ne, and fraud was charged, and the case is in -the Couirts in Missouri. Neither of the contestants will go on the roll. A one-miaj6dt contest is also the -dispute in California. It is in the Fourth District, and is between Wig. giuton, Democrat, and Pacheco, Re publican. It is reported here, but not offiially, that the latter has won the case. As yet neither name is on the roll, and it is yet uncertain what will be done in the ease. In South Carolina there are three names o~n the roll-one Republican and two Democrats. The First and * Fifth IDistricts are disputed. In the First it is between Rainey, Repub' *can, and Richardson, Democrat, and in the. Fifth District it is between Smialls, Repubican, and Tillman, i)emocrat. If either of these con testants go on the roll there is good reasoni to state that the Demaocra'.s will be the lucky ones. The contest in Virginia is in the Fourth District, and lies between Jor es;sen, Renublican. and Hinlin, Deum -oerat. This is the Petersburg Dis tricit. where Gen. Grant ordered the troops to go. Neither of these names, it is understood; will go on the roll. - -Out of these nine cases it is not inprobable that three Democrats will go on the roll and two Republicans, leaving four off; and with this suppo sition carried out the roll will be call ed by Clerk Adams with 151 Demo erats and 139 Republicans, a majority' * for the Democrats of 12. It can be -accepted as a positive fact that it will be no less than L~. The iHerald. THOS. F. GRENEKEl, ErITOrs. W. I. WALLACE, NEWBERRY. S. C. WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1877. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fan ily Newspaper. devoted to the material in terests of the people of this Comity and the State. It circulates extensively. and as an Advertisi-ng me4imn offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. The Ninety-Six Guardian Will make its first appearance this week.

There should be a law passed re quiring all executors and trustees before taking charge of devised es tates to give bond, just as adminis trators do. The reason for giving bond is greater in the case of exec utors than in that of administrators, because the former are appointed by one man according to his own judgment and opinion of the ap pointee's fitness, whereas the latter can seldom be appointed except by the concurrent approval of several persons. The former are frequent ly appointed by a man on his death bed, when his mind is not in a pro per frame for looking closely after worldly affairs ; the latter are ap pointed by men in ful vigor of mind, and with the consent of those who are specially interested. Many an orphan has been brought from riches to poverty by the in competency and dishonesty of ex ecutors and trustees Laurens. We paid a short visit last week to Laurens, and found that up country village pursuing the even tenor of its way, watching, waiting and longing for the railroad that it needs so much. There appeared to be very little business doing. Stores look dilapidated and only half filled. The place will never prosper-cannot-till it has some railroad connection with the outer wold. Thus the Capital of one of the wealthiest and most intelligent counties in the State languishes and drags along a dull existence merely from the lack of a little pub lic spirit and enterprise. The county offices are all filled by good men. The Town Council are putting a neat picket fence around the Court House at a cost of $175. Shade trees have been planted all over the public square. One peculiarity about Laurens is, that.during all the days of her misfortune the price of ,real estate has stood at high figures. While store rent is low, houses and lots command as good prices as in any other town in the State. We hope our neighbors will soon get their railroad. Editorial Review. Chamberlain has gone with bag and baggage. Chief Justice Waits is holding Court in Charleston. The Chief Justice will be elected to-day (Tuesday.) There seems to be little doubt that Willard will be the man. A. M. Speights has retired from the editorial charge of the Green ville Neu-s, and has sold the paper to Messrs. Howell, Cooper & IRey nolds. Roumania has taken sides with Russia against the Tur-ks. The Russians have taken Kars. The Bey of Tunis has offered Turkey 18,000 infantry and 5,000 cavaly. We are sorry to learn that Rev. Dr. Sam'l B. Jones, of Pendleton, formerly President of Columbia Female College, is suffering with his eyes. He has gone to Balti more, to see Dr. Chisolm, the cele brated occulist. A petition is circulating asking the removal of Fred Douglass (co].) as Marshal of the District of Co lumbia. Columbus Alexander has asked to be released from his bond, on the ground that Douglass has proved himself unfit for the office. Gov. Robinson, of New York, has vtoed a bill passed by the Legis - lture authorizing the election of women on school boards. He says The Usury Bill Has been postponed to the next session of the Legislature. Sena tor Gary has been its strongest and most persistent advocate. Public opinion seems to be about equally divided on the subject. Our opin ion is against it, or any other law that tends to interfere with the right of citizens to regulate their own business affairs. At the pro per time we shall express our views at large. The Healing Springs. This celebrated watering place situated in the Warm Spring Val ley, Bath County, Virginia, will be opened June 1st. The location o the Springs is amid grand and pic turesque scenery, and the climate is cool and bracing throughout the summer. Tourists in search of health or pleasure could not find a better resort than these Springs Mr. J. Watkins Lee, the well known Cashier of the Charleston Hotel will have charge of the office.

GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES : Yes terday 1 transmitted to his Excellency the President of the United States the concurrent resolution adopted by the General Assembly invoking Executive clemency, and I hereby have the honor to cotumunicate his reply. WADE HAMPTON, Governor. WASHINGTON, D.C., May 12,1877. To GOV. WADE HAMPTON : I am informed by the Attorney-General that he has instructed the District Attprney for South Carolina to pre pare for trial only three indictments in the Ellenton cases, and to notify the parties in all other cases that they need not prepare for trial. It is pos sible that only one case will be tried. The fa.t that the indictments were found by the grand jury, composed of both political parties, seems to justify the assumption that the prosecutions are not partisan. I agree with you that a general amnesty should extend to all political oifenses except those which are of the gravest character. R. B. HAYES, President. Mr. Aldrich introduced a concur rent resolution to extend the thanks of the General Assembly to President Hayes for his clemency. MONDAY, MAY ld-SENATE.-Mr. Cochran introduced a bill to investi gate and ascertain the bona /ide indebt. edness of the different counties of the State, and to regulate the manner o: paying the same..

Among the meritorious publications devoted to the subject of Fashion, we would inlvite the attention of our lady readers to one, wvhichm we think possesses in a large degree the cssentials of a perfect work-viz., corn mon sense and taste. We refer to "EHR1cHS FAsHION QUARTERLY," the "Spring" num ber of which has just reached us. It will be found instructive, useful, beauti ful, valuable. The very low subscription price at which it is issued will surprise our lady readers when thbey examine its contents. The leading idea of the work, the present m tion of a reference book and illustrated cata loguc of the contents of their great establish tnent, is handsomely conveyed; and the fund of information, instruction, and thought thercto added will make it welcome in all homes where taste and refinement dwell. The beauty of its illustrations, the topics so ably presented by its able lady contributors, its practical comimon-sense suggcstions,above all, the value of its price-list, make it the best investment we have seen in its line. Nc household should be without it. To Fortune's favored ones it offers mani fold attractions in its choice and rare styles pertaining to the wardrobe and personal adornment. To those in moderate circum stances opportunity is given for a display of the same refinemeut of taste, though it may be in humbler objects. To all who seek to learn, to cultivate the beautiful, aud to ado.rn "home'" and the "loved ones" it will be found a mine of infor mation. The "Spring' number, a large volume of 116 pages, is well worth the whole year's subscription price, which is astoundingly moderate-namely,50( cents. The publishers are Ehrich & Co., Nos. 287 and 289 Eighth Avenue, New York City, widely known as enterprising and reliable merchants. THE Ass IN THE LION's SKIN.--No fable of iEsop's is more familiar than that of the ass who assumed the skin of the lion, and thus attired he succeeded in frightening all the becasts of the tiefl!, who fled from him it dismay, At last he rushed upon a fox, and not satisfied with having the appearance of a lion, he tried to imitate the lion's roar. The fox recognized the voice of the jackass, though his body was concealed by the lion's skin. "Ha, ha!" said the fox; "if vou h,ad kept your month shut I never should have recognized you." It is the same Wivth many low-grade starch manufacturers, wben they tell you that their worth!ess products arc as good as Duryeas'. The verdict of the eutire world in every land where they have entered into competition is, "That Duryeas' Satin Gloss Starch is not equaled by any in exist. ence, and Duryas' Improved Corn Starch has no rival." All respectable grocers keep them.

T Mcatt, Silver S+ree FOR THE HERALD. the From the Seaboard to the the Mountains. me] While down upon the coast I went swe out upon the salt to enjoy a matutinal not meal that Neptune himself would have the left the naiads and taken his trident fac, many miles from his coral palace to the enjoy. Leaving the quiet city before auc the tapers of the stars were put out, by and passing the sturdy sentinels, Sum- far ter and Noultrie, now no longer aflame ton with tongues of fire, we reached old prc ocean in time to see the sun rise from ern his boundless bed of waters to sprin kle with a free, full hand his priceless treasures over sea as well as land. Placing a pilot aboard a barque that rode upon the crested waves "like a thing of life;" the bow of our trim little craft was turned toward the fish- Li ing banks, and in due time trout, por- gri gies, black and other fish were "fry- rai ing" in the pan. In all the gastro wi noinical range fish are the only animals en that should be eaten almost literally th< alive. Their plump, juicy sides are coi submitted at once from the sea to the Au "scotching" and thence to the palate from a hot plate. . tio We enjoyed the breakfast, as a mat- of ter of course, under the influence of of an appetizing air, and the novelty of my the scene; but a little "chopping * around" of the sea, lulled us into pr< "lassitude" by the "wail" of the wave, ize when a gallant friend, somewhat jut nautical, sought to enliven us with if 1 a buoyant story. He gave it as his pr< opinion that perpetual motion can dir alone be found on the ocean ; and de- Ur monstrated with mathematical nicety - that by utilizing the winds and waves th; above in their undulation, oscillation an and translation, and the action of the tb4 currents beneath, he could produce a sal buoy that would ring its own bell and ari blow its own whistle "forever and gr< aye!" Whereupon "five miles" of fa schooners, brigs, barques and ships thi would never more wait a week in the all Charleston channels and offing upon tb1 the fearful fog. There is truth and millions, as se well as poetry, iin it-the poetry of an motion, of course. - But we'll say no onu *more just now about the "principle," for for somebody is interested in the do "millions." Newspaper correspond- PC ents, like other weak mortals, some- gr: times err on the side of free speech. tic When the wing of commerce is buoyed "in all seas," we shall then tell how ste 'tis done. sta It is not essential now to know, at of what mighty eon or period, the fami. th< lies of the great deep were assembled an in the beds about Charleston. to under- Nc go the process of forming a largess of th~ phosphatic wealth to enrich the State. mc and save the city in her extremis. thi Suffice it that all along the line of int railroad from the coast to the moun- cit tains the air was fragrant with the pa: odor of the great fertilizers. We coi heard a gentleman say it was healthy ! ecw Presuming that he meant for vegeta- ret tion, we quite agree with him-when ser properly applied. The guano was even his transported up the rugged sides of the th< mountains. Thus, the dust of the vel seaboard and the mountains are being pu mingled for future good. at May we not hope that the deposits fin of our coasts, which have been held in eni reserve throughout the ages by Gm iscience for this period of progressive ve: developmen t, and now being sprinkled pr over our midland belt and upon the po brows of our mountains to transform wa their particles into richer elements, tin may teach us from "the centre all ga' around to the sea," that higher struc- adi tural development of unity and in- Re, divisibility?y , da: When we left the city and its trib-. hir utaries the yellow jasmine festooned gi the islands, and the violet and the lily had typified the resurrec- to tion, whieb- again brought us "pan. pr sics for thought." Here arnd there, [m one hundred and fifty acres were flI strewn with the strawberry, and hopes were high for an early and abundant cer yield ; but just at the critical mo- un ment, when the pollen was about to wa descend the pistils, a falling tem perature killed the ovules and cut nu short the early yield ; yet the fruit thi that had fructif.ied soon ripened and malt yielded the handsome price of five th( dollars per quart. Averaging the to plants at 10,000 to the acre, the area ai of one hundred and fifty acres would I make 1,500,000 plants, and estimating me the yield of fruit at a pint to the plant, Iwh and the price..at 5 cents per pint, the bei sum of $75,000 must be realized.m The loss of the early fruit by frost S1O is not an injury to the plant, as the P' udeveoped buds are speedily devel- On! oped, and the later fruit is much sweeter and richer in flavor.
