A man of Vienna has invented a sewing-machine that runs by means of a spring, somewhat in the same manner as a watch. Congress adjourned the 19th in stant,after a session of eight months, during which time about three months work was done. Sixtv-nine colored immigrants sailed from New York for Liberia the 19th instant, under the aus pices of the American ~Colonization Society. The Greenback party is assum ing large proportions. Their plat form demands the repeal 'of the spe cie resumption act and the issue of greenbacks equal in value to gold and silver. The Anderson Ltelligencer says that "ninety-nine hundredtl-s of the Democratic papers of the United States believe that A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, has outlived his useful ness." We are one of the hundred then who don't believe anything of th6 kind ; no, far from it. And it will be seen. when the next election comes round that a large fraction of the Georgians of the Eighth Dis trict don't believe it either. Pity we have not more such men as Ste phens-men who can think, and can speak what they think, without fear. Men who regulate their pol itical conduct by what they consid er right, and . not with the single aim of being re-elected. We want to see Stephens return to Congress, and we have no doubt that we shall see it. Brace, of Mississippi, the only negro in the U. S. Senate, intro duced a bill the last day of the ses sion to establish a National Acade my of Education. It provides that the President,Yice-President, Speak er and Chaplain of the House, and the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institute shall constitue a board to establish academies in every State, and Congress is to appropriate an nkually one-third the amount neces sary to their support, provided the several States shall contribute the other two-thirds. It further pro vides that there shall be established in the District of Columbia an edu cational institution that shall be equal to any in the world. The bill will come up next session. "The Visiting Statesmen-" In the fall of 1876 Grant sent five or six prominent Republicans to Louisiana to see . a "fair count," which was understood to mean that they should see that Hayes was counted in, and $5,000 was bor rowed from the Bank for the pur pose. At the late-session of Con gress a bill was introduced to appro priate "$5,900 to pay the expenses of these visiting statesmen," but it was very properly voted down. Jno. C. Brown, one of the visitors, has sent a draft to John Sherman, SecretQ ry of the Treasury, for $825, to pay his share of the expenses. Sher man returned him the draft, and says that if the appropriation be not made next session Hayes will pay the expenses from his own means. Well, he ought. The "vis iting statesmen" benefited him to the extent of $200,000, and he will therefore make the snug little sum of $195,000 by the arrangement. State News. Barnwell holds to the Convention system. The Abbeville merchants close their stores at 6 o'clock. A railroad from Aiken to Green. wood, by way of Edgefield, is talk ed of. A colored girl in Columbia tiried to light a fire the 18th, with the usual result. Ser-geant W. E. Byan, of the Edgefield Rifles, committed suicide The AIcernscr is the name of a! new weekly paper published by Ed ward Bailey, at Greenville, S. C. Thirty-seven candidates h a v e been nominated through the Adver tiser for office in Edgefield County : For the Legislature, 18 ; for Coun ty Commissioners, 8 ; for Clerk of Court, 6 ; for School Commission er, 3; for Probate Judge, 2. One hundred and fifty convicts are at work on the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad. The only ex pense to the road is feeding, cloth ing and guarding the convicts; for the small amount charged by the State for the hire of the convicts is paid in railroad stock. This road is being built on common sense principles; while the people get the road very cheap, the State saves the expense of feeding and clothing the convicts. The people of this section should learn a lesson and profit by it. FOR THE HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 19, 1878. The.first session of the 45th Cou gress closes to-day or to-morrow, and, probably, not too soon. The evil in fluence of the time has been upon its deliberations. A man not elected has been in the White House and to that fact-the most conspicuous instance of fraud in all the history of Govern ments-may probably be traced much of the bad legislation, the disregard of promises of reform, and the loose mor als of individual members, which have made this session of Congress one to be remembered with regret. To have fraud so conspicuously triumphant in politics in a country where men's at tention is given constantly to politics, is sure to make fraud popular in busi ness, in social life, and, as this session of Congress shows us, in legislation. When the record is made up we shali not be proud of what has been done at this session. The best and ablest Democrats in House and Senate have meant well, but there has been little party discipline. The duty of Demo crats throughout the country is to re turn to Congress those Democrats who have been Democrats and to leave in private life those who were elected as Democrats but have not acted with the party. Then the next Congress wili be of benefit to the country, and we shall have a party and not a mob in the campaign of 1880. Below is the resolution passed in the House on Friday last, by a sub stantially. unanimous vote. "Resolved, That the two Houses of the 44th Congress having counted the votes cast for President and Vice President of the United States, and having declared R.utherford B. Hayes to be elected President and William A. Wheeler to be elected Vice-Presi dent, there is no power in any subse quent Congress to revise that declara tion, nor' can any such power be exer cised by the Courts of the United States or any other tribunal that Con gress can create under the Constitu tion." It is said that in the Senate a vote upon the resolution would be unani mous. It may now be understood that a President can be reached only *by impeachment. Greatly to the disappointment of many curious persons, Mr. Po.tter's Committee has not yet taken the testi mony of Mrs. Jenks, supposed to have been at one time custodian of Sher man's letter promising protection to Anderson and Weber. She has been in town about ten days, and is in con stant comnmuniention with Sherman's attorney. There was .a scene of wild disorder in the House last night over the bill to pay the Fishery Award. Ben Butler, a born outlaw, had to be taken in hand twice by the Ser geant-at-arms. Speaker Randall dis played the proper firmness and deci sion, as, indeed, he always does. But ler carried his point, which was the defeat of the bill. A two-thirds vote was required. Zack Chandler and Pomeroy wish to come back to the Senate, and there is said to be considerable popular feel ing in Kansas in favor of the latter. It will be remembered that the $7,000 scandal which defeated him was a local affair, and Kansas Republicans seem to believe now that Pomeroy was the victim of a trick. It is q1uestionable, however, whether men like Pomeroy, Chandlr, Hamlin, Harlan, &c., ought to be kept in retirement. The occa sions which gave them. prominence are of the past. To be sure, Kansas Iznade a mistak'e in selecting Ingalls to Isucceed .PQmeroy, an~d Michigan made another, and it is niot unlikely, I sup pose, that Maine would send Bale if she retired H1amlin, but errors like this ought not to force the permaueot re tention of wornout and ineffcient men in our highest legislative body. SVLON. Visit to wiliamston. 11 EVER OF THluU, OH WILL;AMSTON TII -CO.MENCEMENT-COL. DEA L'S BOUNTIFiL DEAL-TH E CA L ICO URIRADE-NINE RAL SPRING, &C. Slipping out of harness last Wed nesday we slipped quietly out of town, and without slip or accident reached Williamston as twilight dews began to fall. There was light enough to aI see that the unpretending depot was do alive with the pupils of Mr. Lander's th College, on the lookout for friends int from abroad, who were expected to pe witness the Conmnencement exercises. ste There was light enough to see bright be eyes flash and checks flush with pleas- an urable excitement-and it was a pret- se, ty picture, but one which could not fr( be dwelt upon too long, for twilight would soon fade, fair forms glide out th of the scene, and darkness cover all. So while there was light enough, the an clever proprietor of the hotel, Mr. in Deal, was looked for and found, and al the gracious promise to take care of th us granted. Much might be said of the appetizing supper found at his table, but space is limited ; suffice it to say that Col. Deal, with. the assis- ti< tance of his amiable better half, hav- pa ing discovered that a wan's heart is easiest approached through his stom- in ach, deals a spread which for excel- at leuce and variety cannot be ezeelled B, in the up-country, and they make a dC good deal of their guests-in short all bi of their dealings are satisfactory; it re is only necessary for those who doubt h to pay them a visit and put our asser tion to the test. th This Coumencement of the Female ti, College was not as elaborate in variety yj, of programrae as on former occasions, fo and consisted simply of an opening o sermon by the Rev. S. A. Weber- H read from manuscript; a short, pleas- re ant adress-extempore-by Colonel di Rucker, of Anderson; the presenta- re tion of Diplomas to an interesting class of seven, by Mr. Lander; and an o address-very long-by Mr. Clink- 114 scales, of Greenville; the whole inter- e spersed by songs, duetts, choruses and e instrumental pices, of agreeable char- u aeter. The feature which arrested e most attention was the uniform plain- h: ness of dress adopted by the pupils. c Calico without a single exception was p the prevailing style, and calico without si the extenuating aids of ruffles, gathers, et plaits, fokcjs, fairbelosys, trails, no, web blush to say it, not epe a pg1l-back gi to relieve the painful plainness; no la gentle rustle of silk gave sweet token i~ as the fair ones entered the chapel, no ctrenmers fluttered in the breezy pas- hi sages, the tramp, tramp alone giving notice that the calico brigade wvere on the move. It was startling. No- c ver before did we see so mnany girls quiet down so quickly, yoiu see tbere was nothing to rumple, nothing to tumble, nothing to tear but calico, noL pull back out of joint, not even a stripe to out of perpendicular-there not being to any stripe in the fatterns-not a fidget b~ could be detected "Oh, dear, wha can the matter be ?"-have th~e girls taken a new departure-are they go. ing to bring blight and desolation o'er cr our pathway ? Poets may prate of "beauty unadorned," but give us vie- di tory or death, or rather bright flow ers, gay ribbons, feathery laces, and fleecy lawns in ours. We have nof doubt that Eve made selection of the prettiest and richest morning glories, and biggest sun-flowers, and longest Indian ceepers in which to make her Ia comencement speech to Adam, and l since that time to the present, the P' study has been to improve and beau- ar tify "Heaven's best gift to man." at It was sad however, that the dem-a oiselles voted for calico-thi, shows the danger of allowing them to vote-and if so, we have nothing more to say, ta than that it was a sad mistake.G We are pleased tQ say that the Col- C lege is in a highly prosperous condi tion, and is the pride of the commu- .ti nity, and an honor to the State.

A hard rain set in night previous and Tuesday morn it was still raining, with no ap irance of holding up. Notwith nding this fact twenty-seven mem rs of the Newberry Rifles and about equal number of civilians, besides reral ladies, met the excursion train r Im Columbia at the depot, and there ning the Columbia Flying Artillery, - Governor's Guards,- the Richland a )lunteers and many other citizens d ladies of Columbia, and other termediate points, made a pleas z t and quick run to Ninety-Six. On e train were Gov. Hampton, Adju- a at-General Moise and other distin ished personages. The number of ssengers was increased at other sta ms. Arriving at Ninety-Six the ssengers found conveyances in the ape of wagons and carriages await g them for twenty-five cents a head, d were driven out to the "Star )rt." The train from above brought p wn a large crowd, including two ass bards. People from the sur unding couutry came pouring in on 1rseback, afoot, and in vehicles of cry conceivable style. By 12 u'clock e clouds had cleared away, and five opsand people had collected at the )rt. A large stand had been erected r :.be speakers, and the speaking on began. - Gov. Hampton led off. e said that he had come to meet the presentatives of the four grand old stricts of Abbeville, Edgefield, Lau- f ns and NeWberry. Contrasting the present condition the State to that of two years ago showed that all bad resulted from ~ rryiug out the pledges made in the mpaign of 1876. We now have iversal peace and good order, and I 'en the colored people, who as a class d been bitterly oppose.d to IPemoera- t , now have full confidence in the ~eset administration. This he con ered a very important and signifi .nt fact. It is a fact brought about r the recognition of their rights asi ti;es and their equality before the ~ iv. If called to $be front again in1 178 to lead the Democracy be woukT and on the old platform of 1876, or Swould not stand at all. He warned the people that they uld never enjoy their-fnll liberties, uld never sit under their own vine] d fig tree. with none to- molest or c ake afraid, iuntil there shall come a ~ C mplete triumph of thg NVqtional emocratic Party. He urged them t work for that, to continue to accord I every wan in the State his equality t 'fore the law, and in 1880, the white C ople an phe colored peop1e would forward together and roll up an erwhehuing majority for the Demo- ] atic candidate for the Presidency. f He said it would make very little ~ t ference who is to be chosen Gov- a nor for the next two years, or who lI .eut.enant-Governor, or who the State ] icers should be; but it would make all I e difference~ who are to compose the ae Legislature. The peopic should I d the very best men to make the v is. And when he saw Edgefield Ltting forward such men as Bonham, d Abbeville such as MicGowan, he d hopes that this was the opinion y the determination of the people. ] The Governor was followed by cu~tenant-Governor Simpson, Adju nt-Geperg4 Moise, ep.Gov. Bonhamn, peral McGowan and epJgdge a >oke. With probaibly one or two excep- 2 ms, there was entirely too much r litis in the speeches, considering. at the celebration was not at all a litical affair. It is exceedingly un rtunate that politics is so much on d e brain that it excludes the consid- I ation of other more important and ~ t rtunity was offered to phe speakers ; t veral thousand people, inclgding p any of t,he mpst refine,d gentlemen ~ .d ladies of the $%gte, composed thse~ dience; a real fine speech on somae propriate subject would havie been a preated ; but instead of such a a eech the large audience was treated a rehash of the political campaign 1876, which would no doubt have t< en very entertaining but for the fact t ateeyoyhsher toe n eat evryody neasl hedundredthan r e.

Ninety-Six is a Ju iriving little village, having several inj egant stores and residences. Mr. F. J. 1. Pope, a former citizen of Newber- pr r; is just completing the finest resi- H( ,nce in the up-country. In the vil- jol ge is published the Guardian. J. hich though only one year old, is W ae of the best weeklies in the State, ry lited by Col. M. L. Bonham, a tal- mi ited son of the ex-Governor. P1 Now, in regard to the Fort. It is tuated near old Cambridge, two miles wa .om Ninety-Six, formerly the Court 0. [ouse for Abbeville, Edgefield, Lau- Sc ns and Newberry. . The old hotel is W ;ill standing, is over a hundred years D d, and is a good, sound building yet d occupied. The Fort is still in th ood preservation, the breastworks be- th g four feet high. It is.built zig- N( ag, having eighteen points or corners, re. .oui which it gets the name of the W Star Fort." The Fort was held in in 781 by 560 loyalists and tories under D he command of Gen. Cruger. Gen. all rreene, with 1,000 men, besieged it r eight weeks. Under the engineer- C< ag skill of the brave Polander, Kos- St iusko, a mine was begun about a hun- th red yards from the Fort, and was ex nded almost underneath it, but was te aterrupted by news of the approach oe f Gen. Rawdon with a large force. vo ren. Greene determined to make a el nal effort, and on the 18th of June, se 781, he made the attack on the Fort, d< ut was repulsed. It was the 97th C universary of that fight that was cel- th brated the 18th instant. in The celebration was worthy of the de vent it commemorated. The pres- tb nee of the military, one company of 1 avalry, one of artillery, seven of in- ei antry, with the officers, and the brass v< iands playing and the cannon firing la n the spot where our forefathers ought and bled for freedom nearly a is entury ago, was well calculated to in- se pire patriotic thoughts and lead to sai atriotic deeds. The occasion was not only one of leasare but no doubt many carried sc way from the historic spot higher as- .
