Charles O'Conor, of New York, speaking of the Presidential elec tion, says "I am constrained to re gard it as absolutely impossible that any one called a Democrat should prevail in this conflict." He gives several reasons for his opin ion, but the strongest of all is, that no President can be elected without the electoral vote of New York, and that the Democrats cannot possibly get this. He says, "The existing law devolves the appointment of - electors upon the people, but the large Republican majority chosen to the Legislature in November last, with the concurrence of the Republican Governor also then elected, can change this law and take the power into their own hands. (Constitution U. S., Art. 2, See. 1, Subsection 2.) That they will do so we may divine without being considered uncharitable, for it cannot be shown that any politi cal party ever had such an opportu nity and failed to employ it." Mr. O'Conor attributes the loss of New York solely to John Kelly, and says: "This condition of things, involving the complete ruin of the Democratic party throughout the Union, arose out of the late so-call ed Tammany Hall bolt, and was produced by it." He speaks thus of Grant: "It may fairly be supposed that if Gen. Grant should ever again occupy the Executive chair he will hold it during life." The letter of Mr. O'Conor is a long and able paper, and coming as it does from one of the foremost men of the country, has produced a profound sensation. There are as wise politicians as Charles O'Conor who believe that the chances for a Democratic victo ry were never so good as now. .As to Grant holding on for life if elected, that is all, as Col Keitt says, the purest nonsense. Does any one really believe it ? We cer tainly do not Change in the News. The last issue of the Newberry News contained the Valedictory of Messrs. M. L Bonham, Jr., and L. W. Simnkins as Editors. Having run the paper for a year, theotime for which they contracted, they found that it interfered with their law practice, and therefore retired so as to give their whole time to their chosen profession. Mr. Bonham has removed to Abbeville and form ed apartnership with J. H. Rice, Esq.; Mr. Simkins practices in Newberry with Thos. S. Moorman, Esq. Our relations with these gentlemen have been very pleasant, and we are sorry to lose them from the quill-driving fraternity, and es pecially regret to lose Mr. Bonham as a citizen. During his residence here he made a great many friends. He is a gentleman every way wor thy of the highest esteem-high toned, cultured and dignified-and is a desirable accession to any com munity, and we wish him success in his new field, where he is already well known and appreciated. Of Mr. Simkins, who remains in our midst, we could speak in term of equal praise. The News will be continu~ed by Mr. R. H. Greneker, Jr., and we wish him and his paper a prosper ous future. The .iWws, since its es tablishment two years ago, has been ably conducted ; it is neat, newsy and enterprising, and deserves a liberal patronage, which we hope, and have no doubt, it will receive. The, Maine Election Is still in confusion, though the Republicans appear to have the in side track. J. L. Smith, chosen Governor by the Fusion House and Senate, has been inaugurated. Gen. Chamberlain, commanding the mili tary, refuses to recognize him or to disband his forces. The trouble1 will be settled by the Supreme Cout.: The State Lunatic Asylunm. The 50th Annual Report of the south Carolina Lunatic Asylum is >efore us, and we find that at the >eginning of the year there were mder treatment 331 patients-230 vhite and 101 colored. Of these 10 were pay patients and 311 State )atients. During the year 162 were ad nitted, making the whole number reated 493. There were discharged: by re overy 40, by removal 5, by escape 3, by death 61, and by release on trial 9-making altogether 118. There now remain 375 patients, :f whom 181 are males and 194 fe males ; 252 are white and 123 arE olored ; 352 are State patients and 23 pay patients. There have been admitted from the beginning of the Institution, in 1828, 1,709 males and 1,544 femaleE total 3,253. Of these 623 males |nd 471 females have recovered. The report is a good one and highly satisfactory, and the officers of the institution deserve the wel done of our people. Happenings in Union. The Union Times gives the fol lowing chapter: One of the streel lamps exploded Monday night blow ing the glass into smithereens, anc scaring the people all around ; A colored child was burned to deatt Tuesday ; McCreery & Hill's gro cery store suffered the loss of twc sacks of flour, half a box of tobaccc and other articles from robbery A colored child was found drownec in a mill race; Charley Coleman while shoeing a mule, was severel kicked ; and Munro Rabb, a brake man on the S. U. & C. R R., wat knocked from a car while passing under a bridge and died in a fea hours. The only good news is thal since the first of January ten per sons have joined the Methodis1 Church at that place, and that the Times is looking up, new subscri bers coming in in gratifying num bers. We are sincerely rejoiced t< hear this-the Times deserves wel of Union and we would like to set it and its editor enjoying the high est degree of prosperity. Death of Frank Leslie. Mr. Frank Leslie, the well knowr publisher, died in New York Satur day evening, in the 59th year of his age. Mr. Leslie's name was origi nally Henry Carter. He was a na tive of Ipswich, England, and th< son of Joseph Carter, a glove man ufacturer, which trade he also learn ed. He early displayed a passioi for drawing and engraving, and making his home in London, be came a sketcher on the Londoi lilustrated News and Pictoria Times. He came to this countra in 1848. and became a publisher or his own account in 1853, and finally became the head of a very larg4 publishing establishment in New York. He failed in 1877, while publishing thirteen illustrated jour nals. His debts were $410,000 and his assets, real and prospective $500,000. Despite the appoint ment of an assignee, Mr. Leslie ui to the day of his death remained practical manager of the business. [Exchange. The Agricultaral Bureau. The Board of the Department of Agriculture was in session in Col. umbia two days last week : preseni Gov. W. D. Simpson, Chairman er ofcio, Hon. J. N. Lipscomb, Master State Grange, Hon. B. F. Crayton, President of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, A. S. J. Perry, Esq., Hon. W. D. Johnson, and Commissioner A. P. Rutler. The Board instructed the Coiriis sioner to give notice that the De. partment is ready to receive the tas of 25 per cent. per ton on all fer ilizers offered for sale. Mr. E. L. Roche, of Charleston, was appointed Special Phosphate Agent ; Mr. L. A.. Ransom, of Aiken, was chosen Clerk of the Agricultural Depart. ment, and Dr. C. U. Sheppard, ol Charleston, was appointed Chemist or the Department. The distress in Ireland is on the increase, and thousands of the in iabitants are threatened with star vation. Numbers of able-bodied nen have been driven to such ex remity that they have been com pelled to apply for admission to the workhouses. The English Govern nent has appropriated ?250,000 to dleviate their distress. The people >f the United States are responding .iberally to calls for aid ; public neetings in this interest have been aeld in many of the cities. Charles ~on held a meeting Monday, the 9th, at the call of Mayor Courte lay, to take proper steps for lend a hdnin~ hand. The Amen The "Solid Union Party." The proceedings of the organiza tion of the Solid Union Party can be found in another column. This new party excites the same kind of interest as some lusu" natarw in the animal or vegetable kingdom : it is a curiosity- - nothing more. If any one supposes that Newberry Con.n ty is infected -with any such ideas as are set forth by this new organi zation he makes a great mistake. The people at large look upon the thing as a huge joke. Wh n the l,tter of Cc. Keitt, the moving spir it of this new departure. appeaicd in the papers sonetime ago advo eating Grant and Bavard, we said all that was necessary or proper to be said on the subject. The matter is really not worthy of serious con sideration. If a few citizens want to amuse themselves in a harmloss way by playing politics let them do it by all means. It will soon be time for this new party to make arrangements for a National Convention. If allowed to do so, we would suggest that out of respect to the founder of the party the Convention should be held at the Capital of Newberry County. Convenience would also suggest this place ; for in that case none of the delegates would have to be away from home more than a few hours: they could leave in the morning, transact all necessary business, and get back by supper time. [From the Greenville News.] Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water; Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after." It is a cowmon remark that truth is stronger than fiction, and when it is philosophically analyzed the ap parent paradox is solved. Truth, real truth, is the essence of things a sublime mystery; but fiction is an in vention of the human intellect--of tez;times a low invention. We - published the other day the proceedings of a Grant meeting held in the county of Newberry, where the writer foru:erly lived and where he was honored in many ways far beyond his merits, which was gotten up and manipulated by Col. Ellisoni S. Keitt. We need not say that we were not surprised at the course of our friend, Colonel Keitt, in this matter. Hie is a igih-toned gentleman, full of the chivalry of the olden time, when in St Paul's Parish, Orangeburg, the life~ of a u,an was prized only by the measure Gf value which Goveruor John Lide Wilson, in his Code of Honor. placd up'o it. (O)' more th an -ordinary talent, bold, nb.sti nate, ahu~ost audacious, he would have his own way, though the points of bayonects crossed his path. But the trou ble is, Keitt is erratic. His genius has toe -wide a sphere for the orbit of commona mortals, and consequently its grand sweep may jostle other planets of equal brightness, and involve all, himnself included, in one common rurin. This is one of the troubles which dis turbance waking and sleeping heroes. But there is one other; Nctwithstand ing the political intelligence and pow. er of Tom Alewine. Presidea t and all the Yiee P~residents, Reese and others, whose peaceful aims all recogmnize, we fs.ar that some terrible commotion will take place near 'miy Ezuorce plan ta tion." We have a knowledge of the location-the real ground of this great Grant battle, and in imagi nation, we now hear a voice exciaiing:1 "Come young man and view the ground pWhaere you miust shortly lie." The verse may not be quoted exactly, but the sense of it is presented ; and Tom Alewine, who has a good voice, will set it to tune. And this to be the fate of Keitt ? We remember Mount Pleasant where this grand meeting was held. It is not far, but perhaps too far from Broad river, for its waves to have manufactured a tear for the falling Republic, and for the great father of his country, the incomn parable Grant, who is now suffering so much, or for the premature fate of his friend Keitt. And we also remember a beautiful tale Written by iDr. Mayer, of Newberry, years ago, and published in a Charleston monthly in which, with graphic peu, he depicted the weird works of a ghost just below "my Enoree plantation" on Broad river, ner think, Glymph's old mill, and silfurther down in the forest of St. John's Church. And I am inclined to think that this gzhost has appeared again and gone higher up and struck "my Enocree plantation."' scared Tomn Alewine, who by his prescience-his far-looking into the future of politics, has misled the god judgment of our friend Col. Keitt, wh,o.e modesty often defers to m'eni of inferior intellect. We would have been much better satisfied if Judge Joe Hlelier (formerly Capt. Hleller) hand been at this meet ing. For we have every reason to be lieve that he knows what a ghost is he has see.n n,any a one, if they walk near by, over the creek toward St. John's parish. If Gen. Grant respon;ds to Tom .Alewine's meetiung, he will please send us 'a copy of his letter. But our greatest fear is, that the lines we have quoted, may be verified ini the case of our friend Keitt: "Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came ttynbling after." [From the Co:umbia Register.J Our friends in Newberry have at last struck ile. We being a Demw ocratic journal, can't be expected of course, to give aid and comfort to the mnongrel ticket. We are not informied whether this brand new departure lish, or Bayard and McDonald, o! Hendricks and Wallace, of Pennsylva nia, or Hancock and Ewing, or we don't know if we would not prefer Stephen Johnson Field, of California, for President, and English, of In diana, for Vice-President, to any other ticket. Yet, whatever our tastes, sym pathies and preferences may be, if our fellow-citizens over the line prefer the guyascutis ticket. we have nothing to say but that there is no accounting for tastes. How any set of sensible and responsible men as our fellow citizens undoubtedly are could con ceive such a combination as Gr:nt and Bayard we are at a loss to appre hend. But our fri:ads seek, possi. bly, "some .ulium :" "some prilat form ' "some jn,te , m!" or per chance "a pater!nal em;pire.'' 'lIeaven protect us when such are the voices of Southern men.'' "Oh! they come o'er my memory As doth the raven o'er the infeeted hou<e, Boding evil to all." LFrom the P'ah4.etto Yeoman.] SAs lone as Col Keitt stood alone and unindorsed, upon his new plat form, what was terned by some his wild vagaries might be allowed to go by default, or pass for what they were worth; but when a respectable por tion of his fellow-citizens adopt his sentiwents, the case presents itst-lf in a new and more interesting point of view. It might now be considered a matter of sufficient importance to look into, and inquire to what extent this heretical leaven is permeating and poisoning the public mind. It is too grave a matter to be treated with si lent contempt, and if this cry for the unholy alliance is not put down promptly, and at once, it may grow into alarming proportions, and give the unadulterated Democracy trouble. This meeting was not gotten up by the riff raff, the refuse of society ; on the contrary, it seem to have been at tended by planters and ex-Confede rate soldiers, two classes that form the yeomanry of the country, the bone and sinew of the land They did not vote wildly or unmeaningly for those resolutions. They knew what they were doing, and had, doubtless, con sidered the matter well. They are evidently Union men from principle, and are willing to see it strengthened and perpetuated by a ticket of two dis tinguished representative men of both parties, and by which the bloody chasm might be spanned, and sectional lines blotted out. [From the Orangeburg Times] Col. .Ellison S. Keitt, of Newberry County, has given his new political idea something of a shape and body, by causing, through his personal in. fluence, a "Solid Union Club'' to be organized in his immediate neighbor hood. An earnest desire for a cordial reunion of the people of the entire country is the basis upon which this political fabric is built. We doubt very much if the people of Newberry County, oumtside of Mr. Keitt's perso. nal friends and relations, are prepared. or ever will be, to indorse a movement which. at a single stroke, wipes out their proud war record and their pa. triotic endurance of the wrongs which oppressed South Carolina during the eight years of her deep humiliation. [ From the News and Courier.] A "Solid Union" Club has been or ganized in Newberry County, on the Keitt platform, with Grant and Bay. ard as the candidates for President and Vice-President. It will be num-~ bered among the curiosities of polities when the history of the skirmishes preliminary to the great constitutional contest in the autumu of theC present year shall be written. [Fromi the A bbeville Medium.] Newberry county has the start of the balance of the State. The plan ters of the vicinity of Mount Pleasant met on the 10th instant and organized a "Solid Union Party." The legislature acted wisely in making an appropriation to enlarge the Lunatic Asylum. A Gala Week in Charleston. The first week in February will be a good time to visit "the dity." The State Grange will hold an in teresting and important session, and it will be the week of the races. The railroads offer liberal rates, three cents a mile each way. Col. Win. WVallace, of Qolumbia, declines a nomination for Comp troller General, and says that he intends to run for Congress from this, the Third, District. U. S.

WAShirGroN, January 16.-The sub-committee of the IIouse select committee on the method of electing the President decided to-day to report favorably to the full committee Bick nell's joint resolution for an amend mnent of the Constitution as regards the manner of electing President and Vice-President. The proposed amend ment provides that the electoral votes and fraction thereof of each person voted for as President in any State shall be ascertained by multiplying his entire popular vote by the number of the State's electoral votes, and di viding the product by the sum of all the votes given in the State for Presi dent, and the quotie'nt shall be the number of electoral votes and traction thlereofr to be assign"ed to such person, using for such fraction three decimals only. The resolution also prescribes Ithe manner of counting the votes and determ,ininog questions of contest. it is thougtht that it will be reported favorably to the IIouse by the full committee next week. FOR THE HERALD. Our Washiungton Letter. WasHN TON , ). C., Jan. 14, 1880. One hundred or more Democrats, in the IIo'ise on Monday, voted to sus pend the rules and pass a bill to abel ish the duty on salt, the motion to suspend the rules was defeated by Re publican votes The luxuries of the pe,ple should be taxed, wherever there is a necessity for taxation, and the inxurits, if tax: d, w(uld ,provide all the reveane t ia ge-:rn:nent needs. &But why shoul salt. or man :tcles, or :n-y like arricle .f nerai and 1 ,ecessa ry corn-Umwptioin, pay to the iustuUS or Internal lieven aer brauchcs of the Government any money whatever ? Poor people use as many matches and as much salt as rich people, and a system of taxation which makes Smith, a poor uian.. pay as much as Jones, a rich man, pays, is uudenoetatic, un republican and wrong. I hope Mr. Harris, who attempted yesterday to abolish the duty on salt, will persevere in his efforts, will make the same at tempt concerning other articles, and also that he will have the assistance of all who believe that under our present system of taxation poverty pays too much and wealth too little. There is no hope of a general revision of the tariff during this session. Mr. Wilson, West Virginia, report ed in the House yesterday the bill to provide for the election of a public printer. This bill puts under the im wediate control of Congress the whole of the public printing. It is impossi ble to say whether the result would be a saving to the Government or not, but from the fact that "Ben" Wilson champions the measure it is safe to say it will pass the House. There is no parallel in all our histo ry of the Maine situation. It is to be hoped there will never be. The plain truth is-and-it- may as well be stated plainly-that those who have organ ized an alleged Legislature since the regular Legislature wet on the 7th are rebels. They have not yet proceeded to overt acts, and they may not do so. If they had desired an opinion of the Supreme Court which would at once have carried conviction to the minds of nearly every one in the State, and which, at any rate, would have been considered binding by every Democrat now in authority there, they would have made issue upon some act of the late President of the Senate, now act ing Governor. This, evidently, was not desired, but rather another chance to make capital and create sympathy by securing another stump speech from individual Judges. There is but one course for the legitimate Legisla ture of Maine to pursue, and that is to maintain its organization until. in a case duly brought before tile Court, the whole question of its legality shall be passed upon. Then. if the decision shall be against it-though how it can be puzzles the understanding-it can retire with honor. Until then sur render is dishonorable. In the now not improbable event, of violent re sistance to the authority of the acting Governor, he will of course enforce his authority by all avaijable power. The situ.ation is extremely critical. D)EM. Foa THE~ HERALD, DUTCH FORK, S. C., Jan. 19, 1880. MESSRs. EDrToRs: I see in your last paper you state that a Union Club of about 30 names was organized for Grant and Bayard. I write this to correct you. The Club was organized on Blunders Ridge, near Enoree Plan tation, and not in the Dutch Fork. We of the Dutch Fork are all true Democrats, and we have no use for Grant or any other Republican that haa acted like Grant. We are going to support the Democratic candidate, let him be who he may. DEMOCRAT. If people who suffer from the dull stupidity that meets us everywhere in spring, and too often in all seasons of the year, knew how quick it could be cured by takingAYER'SSARsAPARILLA to purge the bile from their systems, we should have better neighbors as well as clearer heads to deal with.
