According- to these fig.(ures the Demo
crats will have aI plurality of 12, which
is 3 more than their majority in the
present Congress. 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

Much interest is taken in the polit;

the different States, in view of the con

be elected by the House of Represe

datit to receive a majority of the whole

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
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

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.

the robbery, but is now shadowed

The body was taken to a drinking

been removed, the authorities re

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
