Aiken's 'Food for Thought.' Th Congr.ma, Who TAlks Right Out in Xeeting. WASHINGTON D. C., Dec. 20. To the Editor of the News and Courier : You had "a week of sensa tions" you say. Well, why not? What would a newspaper be now-a days that was not sensational? My letter to The News and Couri,r of the 13th December from this city must have created a sensation, judging from the editorials of the weekly press of the State, and the letters pro and con I have received from the State. I promised to give your readers some thing to think about and I succeeded. I have no words of reply for any of them but the Newberry HERALD and Abbeville Press and Banner. To the former I would say, not a syllable in my letter can be shown to tend towards the "disintegration of the party" in South Carolina. I wrote entirely of Federal polities, and believed every word I wrote, and be lieve it yet. And I repeat what I said, or intended to say, that we of the South, who are held responsible by the American people for all the legislation of Congress, because we are in the majority in the Democratic party, and that party is in the majori ty in both Houses of Congress, are so manipulated by our Northern allies (though they are in the minority,) that all our Federal legislation re dounds to the benefit of that section, and none, or almost none of it, to our benefit. Northern Democrats will vote with Northern Republicans to defeat Southern measures. This I have seen done repeatedly, and hence my aversion to the great Southern Democratic party continuing to play mammoth tail to the Northern Demo cratic pigmy kite. The HERAr. is considerate in its editorial, for which it has my thanks ; but it must pardon me for sayingimy position and that of Col. Keitt's are as antipodal as the poles. The Col onel and I may "take the same posi tion" in deprecating sectional polities, but there would be a divergence'the moment we began to seek a remedy. He nominates Gen. Grant. Heavens! and, too, in conjuntion with Bayard. Where more can two discordant repre sentative men be found ? I would not vote for the former, and could not, with my present convictions, advocate the claims of the latter. I know not the promptings that suggested the editorials in the Press and Banner when reviewing my let ter, but they impress me that the wrter would be pleased to bring me into disrepute with the people of the Sate, and have them believe I would ~disrupt the party in power in South Carolina, and abet the following of the scalawags, whom everybody ought to know I hate like Old Sin, If I misinter pret his motive, I ask pardon. If I do. not, I would simply say to my Scottish friend, look to your own -.~--?~p~fSouth Carolina never have, and, perhaps, never will, fail to locate me correetly in any and every crisis that has or may occur. Enough of this. Let the people think, as I trust they may, for if there is a fault with our State, it is that the ot take interest enough in Federal poliis e epblic mind is directed to any subjet conclusion drawn is generally correct, unless a diversion is created by de signing demagogues. In my judg mnent, the Republican party is to-day led by such men: and, unfortunately, the National Democratic party is not -led at all, but drifts along always in the interests of the Northern minority And so we go. Last summer you stated that Gar field had made a speech in Toledo, averring that he had no hand of friend ship to extend to any "Rebel," unless said "Rebel" would confess his guilt,. and acknowledge that secession was a ~ eziane, or words to that effect. A few days ago I was sitting in the vestibule of the Hall of Representatives talking to the Rev. A. T. Porter, of your city. Garfield passed by, cordially ex tended his hand to me and welcomed -mre back, hoped I had been well, &c., &e. At once I remembered the Tole do speech, but could not allude to it then. Subsequently I sought him out and told him what was telegraphed as coming from him at Toledo, and asked him if it were true. He denied it in toto. I then asked him what he did say. He replied : "I said I had no friendship for those who said we were wrong in upholding the Union." I asked him who ever accused them of being wrong in doing this ? He said we of the South. I denied it. Then lhe said, the "Okalona States" "and Bob Toombs" and a lot of other stuff that was irrelevant to the subject un der consideration, and suddenly arose from his seat and left me. I am con vinced he said just what we was charged with saying and by just such moral cowards are the maasses of the North to-day deluded as regards the South and her people. Under their leadership the sectional line will never -be obliterated. The most interesting debate of the sessi ls occurred in the Senaite on Thursdg last, upon Mr. Voorhees's resolution to investigate the North Carolina exodus. I may be wrong here, too, but I was amazed at the course of debate followed by the Dem oerats, especially the Southern Sena ~to~ .They quibbled about straws, Iand attempted to defend the people of North Carolina against the popular charges of maltreatment of those ne groes, when they must know that a Yankee negropholite (is there such a *word ?) would believe the stories of the most ignorant negro sooner than he would the sworn testimony of Ben HIIIhimself, or any other Southern * Senator. is subordinated to this brake upon .te wheels of progress. Turn back the pages of history for the past fifteen years and search for the chapter on Southern progress. It is not there. Where else in all Christendom can that chapter not be found ? Have we Southerners no enterprise, no push, no 0o-aheadativeness ? Yes, we have ; but how can we assert it with this incubus of ignorance and stupidity hanging about us like a galling yoke? But the public mind says we want the negro here, and I have said the public mind is not often wrong. So, perhaps, I err in wishing the exodus a God-speed. Perhaps I do. I do, nevertheless. Congress adjourned yesterday till the 6th of January, 1880. I am here for the recess necessarily, and will at tempt to send you another letter about the 1st of January, furnishing more food for thought'to your readers, the farmer readers more particularly, and perhaps of a pleasanter nature than the thought of smashing political par ties, losing the State, and creating In dependentism , &c., &c. Very re spectfully D. WYATT AIKEN. The herald. THOS. F. GRENEKER, EImOs. W. H. WALLACE, NEWBERRY, S. C. WEDNESDAY, DEC. a1, 1879. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in erests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertisin- -medium offers unrivaUe0. ad vantages. 'i?or Terms, see first page. Volume Sixteen. We are pleased to say that'we commence this volume of the Hi .ma with better prospects than we did the one just ended.-kOld sub scribers have paid up and renewed with a promptness very gratifying, while the number of new subscri bers who have had their names en rolled is largely in excess over that of the previous year. All this gives us renewed encouragement and we enter upon the duties of the year with high hope. But we are not to the point we would attain ; we want a larger list of subscribers, a list that will include every man and woman in the County, and we urge our readers to help us enlarge it by spakig good words to neighbors and friends who are not subscribers that they give us their names-the larger the subscription list, re member, the more means .we will have to expend in its improvement. We extend thanks to all of our readers, old and new, and wish them a prosperous and pleasant year. Wevolutumrz'rTEltiu Maine. The State of Maine has been in a furious ferment for several days. The late election in that State was very close ; the Republicans, how ever, by bribery and chicanery, thought they had a sure thing of it, and after the election was over they rejoiced with exceeding great joy because their party was in the majority in the Legislature. But their rejoicing was soon checked ; for Gov. Garcelon and4iis Council, acting as canvassers, threw out a large number of returns and left the Democrats and Greenbackers con siderably in the majority. U. S. Senator James G. Blaine and other prominent Republicand have man aged to get up conside8able excite ment about the matter, and have gotten up many indignation meet - ings. At Bangor, the 25th, arms and ammunition, which had been ordered to Augusta, Me., were stop pd in the street by a mob, and a riot was only prevented by the pru dence of the officer in charge of the arms, who consented that they should be taken back to the arsenal. The Democrats feel safe in the position the Governor has taken ; they say he has acted according to the Constitution and the laws, an d they are willing to leave the matter to the Supreme Court of the State Col. Aiken's New Departure. Col. Aiken in his letter to the Vews and Courier, copied in this issue, claims that he has no inten tion to disintegrate the Democratic party. We have never charged him with any such intention ; but we have said, and do still say, that if his letter has any influence at all in politics that influence will tend to disintegrate the Democratic par ty. The Colonel has certainly made a mistake. Whatever influ ence he may have in politics he can not 'hope to convince the Republi cans of the country that their party has "outlived its usefulness" thg they will be rady enonugh very materially his chances for re election to Congress. This is no reason. however, why he should not express his opinions. We ad mire a public man who is indepen dent and honest enough to speak out regardless of personal conse quences. Our objeetions to his new ideas are 1st, that they are un timely, in view of the approaching canipaign ; and 2ndly, that they are impracticable at any time. State News. Stephen Bush, an excellent young man, was killed at a private party in Barnwell County the night of the 24th instant by a pistol shot fired by Win. Bates. Bates claims that the shooting was accidental: he had been drinking. The 23d instant Mr. Jno. Shiver, of Kershaw County, was shot with a pistol and killed by a negro named Jack Johnson. There was no provocation: the negro was drinking. Wade Hampton, Jr., of Missis sippi, son of Senator Hampton, of S. C., died the 23rd instant. FOR THE HERALD, Happy New Year. DEAR HERALD: Time is swiftly flying, Winds are softly sighing, The year is elqwly dying, And I could not let the old year ebb out and the new flow in without wri ting a line for the two-fold purpose of expressing my high appreciation of your Lnuch prized paper, and of wish. ing you. and yours , happy, happy New Year. How true the saying that last things are solemn.things, and we verify the sentiment in all its fullness as we read and fold the last issue of our beloved HERALD. How long the time seems to us since first we began to weave for its honored columns the wee obscure flowerets of our fancy, and to-iiglit memory hells come softly ringing, bringing back each and every event, forming a glittering chain of golden fancies and happy dreams. As we watch the year drifting out and the eternal stars looking down from their far off home in the skies with pitying love on the chi.ldren of men the wish which arises in our heart and to our lips is that your career may be .lung and useful, and that you may shed. for others one ray of the bright, biMght s'inshinec with which you come weekly to gladden our life. For your honored proprie tors who live by men esteemed by God approved, may every effort of their journalistic life be crowned with unprecedented success, and your jour nalistic sun shed its genial rays .tbrngdkrt-.the length and breadth of ur suni-brigi and'. Tat',-ah, e awning, and with it the new and ntried year who holds within hir mystic mantle the destiny of men.I I happy greeting to you send, And with the greeting softly blend This little prayer; ay joy undimmed by sigh, or tear, rown for thee, and thine, a happy New Year.

Keitt's Appeal to the People-Grant Ex pected to Stand as a Granite Wall Between the Stalwarts of the North and the In nocents of the South. ENOREE PLANTATION, S. C., DEC. 20. To the Editor of The .News and Courier: In the issue of your paper of the 4th instant I exercised the right of every American citizen to counsel with my countrymen on public affairs. The Newberry HERALD, not being in accord withW my sentiments, assailed me in an unusual wanner and mis represented me. Nowhere have I called upon the "Democratic party" to nominate Grant and Bayard as their standard bearers for President and Vice-President in 1880, which that paper affirms. I invoked The People, regardless of party, to make that nomination. I did so after mature deliberation, and I re peat it. Grant at Chicago, speaking to his old soldiers of the Army of the Cunm berland, the first that be commanded in the war, said, "1 aim no partisan." He will stand a granite wall between the Stalwarts of the North and the in nocents of the South, as upon the heels of the war he stood between President Johnson and our own Lee, when he siad, '-not as long as he holds my parole." Let the people cverywhere through out the land rally and, regardless of party, through their primaries, make the nomination of Grant and Bayard, and let us become one people and one country indivisible.

MEssRs. EDITORS : I see by your last is sue I have been nominated for Intendant of the town of Newberry. It would afford me great pleasure to serve my fellow-citi zens in that capacity were it not for the fact that I now bold the office of Trial Jus tice, which raises a doubt as to my eligibil itv. I therefore on that account must de cline the honor proffered me. I heartily endorse the sentiment and principles announced by the parties who have tendered me the nomination, and am in favor of peace, good worals and reform represented by the ticket upon which my name appears. M. A. CARLISLE. In the interest of peace, morality and reform, the following ticket is offered to the citizens of Newberry for their support at the next Municipal Election: INTE:5DANT: DR.

At a meeting of a large number of citi zens, white and colored, held Monday even ing, Dec. 29, 1879, who are in favor of the above named gentlemen for Intendant and Wardens for the ensuing year, the follow ing resolutions were adopted: Re5olved, That it is the sense of this meeting that it would be unfair and unwise for the Town Council of the Town of New berry, to be elected at the coming election, to attempt to revoke the Licenses to sell liquors, already or hereafter granted by the present Town Council. or to shorten the term of such Licenses, except for violations of the law .governing .4icenses, but that after the expiraiion of su6h Licenses no others be granted. Resolved, That we meet with the citizens in the Couri House, on Wedneiday 'after noon, December 31st, 1879, at 4 o'clock, to take part in nominating an Intendant and Wardens for the ensuing year. DJARD.. Returning my unfeigned thanks for the appreciated compliment of nominating me for the honorable position of Intendant, I beg most respectfully to decline it. The considerations infuencing me to this posi tion-were it expedient to submit them are such I feel as would be deemed satis factory, and meet the approval of my friends and the public as they certainly do my own convictions of right and duty in the premises. Viewing the Chief Magistra cy of Newberry as one of grave responsi bility as well as honor-one measurably compassing the supremacy of law and order ini our midst as well as the good name and prosperity of all her citizens, I feel this po sition better becomes genttem1en older and more experienced than myself. Yours respectfully, J. E. BROWN. Dec. 30, 1-it.
