Over the Republi cans and Greenbackers (most of w-hom. however. will vote with th s Democrat-,) the Democrats have a bare mzajority of 1. Only 11 Greenback candidates have been elected in the wvhole Union. To this exceedingly impotent conclu sion have come the agritators who boasted of their abilitv to revolutionize politics, and elect eniotigh1 persons- of their pectiliar faith to hold the balanee o6f power in Coigres. Much interest is taken in the polit; cal complexion of the Congressmen in the different States, in view of the con tinven~cy that the next President may be elected by the House of Represe tatives, upon the failure of any candi! datit to receive a majority of the whole Electoral vote. There are thirty-eiglit States, aud it will. take the votes of twenty States to eleect, the vote of eaell State being cast by the Majority of the deleg-ation. The Democrats now hold Alabama.

The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertisin- medium offers unrivalled ad vantazes. For Terms, see first page. Popular Elections. It seems at first thought that nothing would be easier or more natural than that the people should select their best men for public offi ces. Yet this is far from being the case. Now and then the popular choice falls upon a man who has nothing but his qualifications' to recommend him; but it is more usual, especially where party organ ization prevails, that accident con trols. A candidate is selected on account of his personal popularity, or he selects himself and wires his way into prominence, and by. his persistent and cunning scheming secures the honors (?) and emola ments of public position. We very much doubt, taking the whole State, whether one-third of the officers cho sen at the last two elections were the most suitable men that could he selected in their respective Coun ties. - We speak only of Democratic officers; the Republicans have never elected fit men. . In this State for the past two years the Democrats have selected their candidates by conventions or primary elections. The evils attending the nomina ting conventions it is unnecessary to point out to the people of this County, for they have seen and felt them, and no doubt the same evils, in varied forms, have existed in other Counties where the conven tion system prevailed- Political as pirants and their strikers secure the elections of their partisans as delegates, and then run the conven tion in their own interest. Delegates are chosen not on ac count of their age and experience, their wisdom and representative character, but the sole consideration that determines their choice is, will they support this man or that man ? The plan of primary elections is considered by many as better adapt ed to making nominations. Instead of placing the matter in the hands of a few delegates, it leaves it to the party at large, each member of the party voting for the men of his choice for candidates. This is un doubtedly the better plan of the two. But this plan is not perfect by any means, and, in its practical results, does not invariably show the popular choice. As an instance of this, at the primary election in Abbeville County, Gen. McGowan received the smallest vote of all the nominees, while at the real elec tion he ran considerably ahead of the ticket. And in Edgefield what more popular man than ex- Governor Bonham? Yet he was defeated at the primary election?. There is another objection to this plan, which can best be exemplified by reference to Anderson. In that County B. F. Crayton and R. W. Simpson were candidates for nomination to the Senate. Simpson was beaten by a small vote, and having been beaten for that position he was left out al together. If the nominations had been made by a convention, after Crayton received the nomination for the Senate, Simpson would un doubtedly have been nominated for the House, for he is one of the most popular men in thle County and de servedly so, and was one of the best men in the last Legislature, being chairmen of the finance Com mittee. It cannot be denied that a large and increasing portion of the party is chafing under party organization of any kind, and want to see th e old plan of "scrub races," as it was before the war, re-established. They imagine that by that means the best men would be elected. We doubt this. It might be that the candidate that would stoop the lowest would get the highest vote: there can scarcely be a doubt of it with our present heterogeneous population. We have heard of a candidate being elected in Arkansas by a single speech, oft repeated: "Follow me to the bar room." Such wvould be the case ire. There are evils under all systoilm. It depends on the people themselves to check these evil~ Sn lnncr n~ of politics. Office-seekers and am bitious politicians must be taught that God never sent a few chosen men into the world ready booted and spurred to ride the rest of mankind. We must learn to look only to a candidate's character, competency and fitness. We must learn to spurn every improper in fluence, whether it comcs in the shape of "soft solder" or "bulldo zing." The people have the whole matter in their own hands. They have it in their power to seenre the very best men to represent them in all public offices, and if they fail to do so the blame falls on their own heads. schools and School Money. Hitherto the free school system has not been a success in this State. It has not been the fault of the sys tem, but of its management. There is sufficient raised for the support of free schools to make them successful. The trouble with the schools before the Democracy came into power was that the radi cals stole the money, and it never reached its legitimate purpose; and the trouble since has been that a large proportion of the money col lected has gone to pay. old pay cer tificates of teachers, instead of be ing used for the current years. A tax of 2 mills is laid on all tax able property, which goes to the support of the free schools. Every dollar of the poll tax goes to the same object. The taxable property in this County, by the last assess ment, is valued at $3,724,420; a tax of 2 mills on this sum amounts to $7,448.84. There are 4,371 polls in the County, representing that many dollars-total school money for Newberry County $11,819.84. There will be delinquencies, which, with the School Commissioner;s salary, will bring these figures down to about $10,000-certainly not be low $9,000. If properly conducted, $1,000 per month is amply suflicient to provide free schools enough to accommodate all the children of the County between the ages of five and sixteen. There is no reason, therefore, why the public schools should not be kept open, with the present appropriations, for at least nine months of the year. This can not be done, thoagh, if an overplus of teachers be employed; if every body who wishes to set up as a pedagogue be given a certificate and be allowed to draw pay from the public fund for teaching ten or a dozen pupils- There must be a limit, and it should be strictly ob served by the School Commissioner and Trustees. The public schools must be conducted for the benefit of the children, not for the teachers. No teacher should be allowed pay from the public fund as for a free school unless he has an average at tendance of not less than twenty pupils. We are heartily in favor of the present free school system. It is an admirable one, and when all the old claims shall have been settled up, when every dollar of the school money shall be applied to the cur rent year, the system will prove a blessing to the whole State. Simpson as Governor. In consequence of Gov. Hamp ton's serious accident, which ren ders him unfit for any business, he has transferred the Executive office temporarily to Lieutenant-Governor Simpson, who is now acting as Gov ernor. Col. Simpson will undoubt edly make a good Executive, and we hope to see him fill the office from the 4th of next March for the remainder of the term. We want to see Governor Hampton in the United States Senate, for two rea sons: 1st, he can do us more good there than any other man we can send, and, 2ndly, he deserves the place above all others. Radical Rascality. Eighteen white citizens in Orange burg County, seven in Sumter.and five in Darlington have been ar rested for violating the election laws. The Managers of one of the boxes in Charleston, and John H. Kinsler, Senator elect from Rich land, and six others of that County, have been arrested on a similar charge. The affidavits were made by ignorant negroes before Deputy United States Commissioners. There is no doubt that this devil ment is being instigated by North ern Radicals fir political effect. It is gratifying to be able to state that Governor Hampton is steadily improving. All darger of amputa tion is past, and it is now only a uestion of time when he shall be well again- No event that has for a io ;~e has pro-, The State Fair. The Fair of the State Agricultu ral and Mechanical Society at Col umbia last week was far superior to any other since the war. We have been accustomed to attend the State Fairs for several years past, and hitherto one has been as much like the other as two peas-the same old quilts that looked like they might have been used by Mrs. Noah in the ark, the same wax fruits and flowers, the same jars of jelly, etc., or if not the same something very much like them. This year there was a great improvement in every line of exhibits. Nowhere was the improvement so striking as in the display of stock and field crops. It was a real pleasure as well as a surprise to visit the stables and the stalls. Such horses, cattle, sheep, goats and hogs; such fine farm pro ducts, wheat, corn, cotton, peas, turnips, potatoes, rye and every thing else that grows in the field or garden, reflected high credit upon the agriculturists of South Carolina, and proved very clearly that they are making rapid advances. The mechanical, fine art and house hold departments were all far ahead of former occasions. The mer chants of Columbia exhibited cred itable care and taste in the display of their wares. As an evidence of the superior character of the Fair, visitore all speak of it in the high est terms. Many farmers who have been content to jog along in the old hum-drum way were sur prised to see what others have ac complished. They come back with a_new spirit of enterprise, and with a better opinion of their calling. They are determined to see what they can do. It is in this way that State Fairs benefit the people. The Fair grounds and buildings were in a better condition than they have heretofore been, and the attendan,ce was larger than usual. Candidates for the Clerk of the Senate and of the House are be stirring themselves. For the'Senate we hear of T. Stobo Farrow, of Spartanburg, and J. Walter Gray, of Greenville; for tbe House John T. Sloan, Sr., and James A. Hoyt. Drift Wood. Peter Cooper is 88. There is one colored man in the Georgia Legislature. 36,000 persons had the yellow fever during the rec'ent epidemic. 12,000 died. The colored people of Georgia pay t.x on $5,430,844--the effect of six years of Democratic rule. The net earnings of the AMabama Penitentiary for the year ending September 30th, was $35,659.99. The Great Eastern, the largest steamer ever built, has been pur chased by a company for carrying cattle from Texas to Florida. The convention of stone cutters of the United States and Canada, held in New York two weeks ago, adopted resolutions denouncing convict labor. A woman named Alexander is being tried at Bridgeport, Conn., for killing a boy for the purpose of selling his body to a medical college. She acknowldges that she assisted in the murder, but sa.ys she acted through fear of Basset, the princi pal, with whom she was living. He will be tried after her trial is con chuded. A New York telegram of the 16th says the police have knowledge of the whole gang of Stewart's grave robbers. A man named Mahoney, formerly attached to the Weehawken Cemetery, did the principal work. He fled South on the morning of the robbery, but is now shadowed and can be arrested at any moment. The body was taken to a drinking saloon at Weehawken, but has since been removed, the authorities re fuse to say where. One man has made a full confession. State News. Peter Froeman, a Beaufort mur derer, who was captured in Eng land and was being brought back by the Sheriff, jumped off the train on the Port Royal Railroad on the 9th and was run over by the cars and killed. Re-Opening a Thoroughfare. In order to guard against results utterly subversive of health, if is absolutely essen ial that the grand thoroughfare or avenne of the system, the bowels, should b4e re-open~ed as speedily as possible when they begorge obstructedl. If tbey are not, the bile is mis directed into the blood; the liver becomes torpid; viscid bilious matter gets into the stomch, and produces indigestion; head aches cnsue, and other symptoms are pro-* duced, which a prolongation of the exciting cause only tends to aggravate. The aperient properties of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters constitute a most useful agent in overcoming constriction of the bowels, and promoting a rp"iiThr h,ihit of body. It is infinitely suocrior A CARD. It has been brought to my notice that cer tain parties are circulating a report in this County to the effect that on the day of our last general election, Tuesday, November 5th, I worked and used my influence against the rcgular Democratic ticket.
