Good govornmont continues, ponce prevails, and wo havo of tho abundance of earth to keep us moving on. This is the past and present. The future unchanged, impenetrable, lies before us. Hard as tho past bas boon, wo look cheerfully to tho future. With good govornmont, we havo had our educational facilities improved. Tazos are lowor, and must still be reduced. Sectionalism, although glimmering on tho horizon, will disappear in time. Our wholo country will bo ono in intorcst | sentiment and fooling. Tho lifo blood of tho General Govornmont will flow in tho South as purely and kindly ns olsowhoro, and tho whole oountry in a reasonable timo will bo prosperous and happy.

T. Stewart's body to $50,000, with proof to-convict the thieves. The State Canvassers put Gov. Hampton's vote at 119,550 for Governor, which is about 25,000 more than ho had two yoars ago. Goorgo W. Swopson, of North Carolina, of notorious Radical proolivitios, bas boon indicted by a grand jury of that State for plundering the peoplo of that old Commonwealth. An ineffectual effort bas boon made to assassinate King Humbert, of Italy. Tho assassin was arrested and will bo sovoroly punished. "Uneasy lie tho heads of thc orownod." In the Forty-second Congress thero woro nine negroos; in tho Forty- third, seven; in the Forty-?fourth four; in tho Forty-fifth throe; in the Forty-sixth there will be nono. Tho Lancaster Ledger nominates Qonoral Samuel McGowan for United States Senator. Tho ledger says tho "honor could not fall upon moro worthy shoulders." This is almost tho unanimous sentiment in Ooonoo. Aoting Governor Simpson offers n rownrd of $250 for tho person or persons who mur dered Cato Butler, in Lexington, in Septem ber last. Also a roward of $150 for Diok Popo, who killed Hoary Turnor, in Edgo?eld ia September last. Congress ntsomblos at Washington on tho first Monday in Decombcr. This is a short session, terminating on tho 4th of Maroh ? next. Pipo-laying for tho Presidonoy will bo tho chief employment, perhaps. Tho South should have as little to do with this business as possible. There will bo no negroes in tho noxt Con gress, unless O'Hara, of North Carolina, gets a oertifloato, which is doubtful. Thero is a colored voting population in tho South of ovor n million, but in tho Forty-tizth Congress it will be entirely unroprosonted, except by Bruce, in tho Sonato. Tho twelfth annual session of tho National Orange, Patrons of Husbandry, was held in Xliohmond, Virginia, on tho 21el Instant. {Twenty-five Statos were represented. Tho '?.ports of the officers show that tho Order is in A flourishing condition throughout (ho country. The State Baptist Convention convened at kum tor on tho 21st instant. Eighty dolcgatos WOro present tho first day. Rov. R. Furman was ?leoted President; JJ. W. Edwards, Vloo-Frosl dent; Rev. Luther Broadus, Soorotary; E. B. Murray, Esq., Assistant Seorotary, and Pref. C. JI. Judson, Treasurer. The meeting of Hw gonventlen hw hoen unusually luterostlng. Tito legislature Will moot nt an ?arly day, and among the m poi-lan t questions likely to como before it Nvill doubtless bo tho propriety of colling a convention to reform the Stato Constitution. HOD. G. 1>. Tillman, of Edgofi?ld, intro? doced a resolution in tho July Democratic Convention, recommending suoh a course, but it was voted down without dobate, not bcoauso suoh a work is not noodod, but solely from polioy. Thorn is littlo divorslty of opinion on the noodod constitutional changes in Order to economize th&govornmout and adapt it to a poor, thinly populated and agricultural people. Tho present coustitu tion and many of our statutos wore copied from Statos differently situated from South Carolina in point of population, woalth and, ns suoh, opcrato oppressively on tho taxpayers. Noodod reforms aro mot with constitutional restrictions or mandates, which can only bo romovodby aconvoution of tho pooplo or by amondmonts adoptod in aooordanoo with law. Tho lattor is a slow and imporfoot process, whilo tho formor is at this timo of doubtful polioy. Tho Audorson Journal has broaohod tho subject of a Constitutional Convention and advocates, as wo understand, suoh a oonvon? tion to bo hold noxt year. Othor journals will doubtless express tboir opinion, and tko question bo fully disoussod bofuro tho ad journment of tho Legislature We admit tho noed of constitutional reforms. Wo also fool that all proper modifications in tho con stitution should bo made, and statutes passed under thom beforon codification of tho statute law is ordorod. Tho lattor must bo dono at an oarly day for tho sake of doolaring what tho law is, and tho former should not bo dolayod without pressing reasons. Tho word policy covers nil tho possiblo reasons wbioh can be given against thc calling of a Constttu? timmi Convention. Will it bo likoly to weaken tho Domooratio party? Will it unilo and strengthen the Republicans? If called, when should it bo held? If a oonvention, composed of wiso and prudent mon, recogniz ing fully tho rights of blacks and whites, and maintaining thom justly, should assemble and a after making only such roforms os look to economy in tho administration of tho government, should adjourn, such a conven vtould bo politic and would strongthon tho Domooratio party. All our pooplo look for ward to a day whoo a constitution will bc called, and tho nogro is constantly terrified with tho doubt as to what such a oonvention will do. Its postponement is hold up to their view as bnsod on tho fear of tho D?mocrate, that its work will bo so antagonistic to their ina terosts that tho party desires boforo attempting such ohangos to got tho govornmont eeouroly in their hands. Is not tho doubt and uncer tainty thus oroatod a source of groa tor weak ness to tho Domoorats than tho roal work of such a body? Wo all know tho political and civil rights of tho nogro aro fixed, and thoro is no disposition to disturb thone rights. If, then, a oonvention wero called and a consti tution adoptod preserving fully those rights and at tho samo timo economizing tho rna-? ohinory of tho government, would it not rc liovo their minds and nssuro thom more than all ol HO of tho honest purpose of tho Domoorats to reform tho govornmont for tho benefit of oil? Wo think this would bo tho result,] and In vio w of tho many unnecessary constitutional offices, as well as a numbor of doubtful clauses in the constitution, suoh a oonvontion would bo wiso and politio and its results ooo? nominal. If oalled, whoo should suoh a oonvention behold? Wo think it should bo hold in tho spring of next year, that its work may bo before tho country as a work of fairnoss to both races, boforo tho noxt campaign opons. Tho convention and its work would bo sepa rated from all local issues and oxoitomonts, and if its work bo judicious, tho result would bo increased strength to tho Domooratio party io tho Stato. In speaking thus favorably of a convention wo spook from our stand point and from our viow of thc disposition of tho pooplo in this scotion of tho Stato. Thero is dangar of great harm from such a movement, ami at tho samo time there is reasonable hopo of much benefit from it. All will dependen tho tem per and disposition of tho pooplo and conser vativo viows of tho men selected to represent thom. Horo only lies tho danger. There is great noed of such a convention, and properly dirootod, its work would quiet differences and strongthon tho Domoorats. On tho othor hand, extremo views and opinions would groatly injure us. Its propriety at this timo can only bo determined by a fair expression of viows in ali parts of tho state. Drawing to a Close, In tho United States Court, in Charleston, rocontly, Judgo Bryan made-an order confir ming tho report of Mr. Hagood, tho roforco, in tito caso tho Blue Ridge Railroad, bank rupt, and overruling all tho exceptions taken thereto by tho trustees. Tho ordor decides that tho salo of tho Blue Ridge Road ombrocod tho Pondloton Railroad, and dirocts that tho titlo bo confirmed to tho purohnsors andor tho mortgage, the trustees for the bond holders. This leaven tho BIuo Ridgo Rail - road in tho hands of tho Qroonvillo and Co lumbia Railroad, but in offoo, doon not o') an go tho ownerships of tho Bluo Ridgo Road, who woro tho formor bondholdars of that road. Tho Qroonvillo Road merely exchanged its bonds for thoso of tho Bluo Ridgo Read. Thoro has boon no payment, and, in equity, tho former bondholders of tho Bluo Ridgo Railroad bonds oro tho present ownors of this road. --? ? - Qrood for office and placo is strong indcod, as wo notioo by tho Now York World that ox-Dis triot Attorney D. T. Corbin, of South Carolina, said to a roportor at tho Astor IIouso recently: "I shall go to Washington ero Congress moots, and shall press my claims for admission to tho ssat now occupied by Gen. M. C. Butler in the United (States Senate I am hopeful of being successful in the erntest. AU tho Republican Senators aro for me, oxeept Pattorson and Cameron. How thoy will vote when the oaso is called up again I am unablo to say. They may haveohanged their minds sineo tho last session." Furthor facts show that tho killing of Rov. A. E. White, in Sumtor, was puroly acciden tal, and effected by tho discharge of a gun in tho hands of a person wiro did not soo Mr. White. '?' ?ll|l]..'.l?U.L,..|?.

Genoral McGowan, General Conner, Judge Kershaw, with ol hers of like antecedents in the Stato, oro eminently worthy to sit in tho Sonate Chamber of a great pooplo, and we call upon tho Legislature to glvo tho high position to ono of tho brightest jewels in tho crown of the Stato. Ooutli of Rov. W. W. Sunders. Tho following ead Information, contained on a postal oard to Mr. J. W.Slribliug, of our town, will bo read with feelings of surprise and Bor row. Mr. Sanders was well known to our poo plo: LvNCUBUno, VA., November 25, 1878. Dr;AH DnoTHKn: Yours of tho 26th found Bro. W. W. Sanders In our town whoro ho had como to build up his health. Ho had long boen Buffering from severo periodical attacks of hi 11 i OOH fever, and came to our "hill city" hoping that tho mountain air would rostoro bim. But alas! alas! nil was of no avail, and our dear Sunders died to day about 1 o'clock. His remains will bo sont to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to morrow. How sad, how very, vory sad! Whilo tho leaders are falling tho privates must closo tho ranks and press on. You knew him and do not need that I speak of him. "Ho walked frith Qod nnd God look him." Yours, truly, R. R. ACREE. Obey tku Luw. Tho recent rovonuo trouble in Abbovillo County, if our report of tho affair bo truo, says tho Qreunvillo News, should bo con demned by tho people in plain terms. From what wo can loam, there wan no causo for tho notion of tho pease of mon in surrounding tho house and demanding tho withdrawal of tho rovcouo officers, as not ovon on arrest had boon made or anything dono by tho party ezoept to moko a fruitless search for illicit distilleries or distilling. The revenue law is a law and no m actor how onjust it is, it must bo obeyed, Tho ory that is raised against it and tho just complaints of our pooplo of the mannor in which it has heretofore been ad ministered, will not justify its violation, and whilo it is a law it is tho duty of every citizen to submit to it us ono of tho laws of tho hind. Acts of lawlessness will never mond tho matter in tho leant, and tho only remedy the pooplo havo to rid themselves of tho oppres sion is to appoal to Congress for its repeal. Tho roport.i that have- already gono over the wires from one ond of thdland to "thc other is sufficient for our enemios to rniso another howl about lawless South Carolina. What wo want in Siuth Carolina is law and peace nnd order, and anything that tends to disturb tho tranquillity of tho Stato will rebound greatly to our disadvantage An affair of this kind has two sidos, of course, and wo shall seo what comos to light. Tho reports so far have not boon contradicted. WASHINGTON, Ndvembor 23.- -A committee of bankers from tho Ballimoro Clearing House Association oalled on Secretary Sher ? man this afternoon in relation to tho ro-unnp tion aot, and what aotion is oxpodiont to bo adopted by tho Baltimore banks in nilling and oo-opperating in resumption by tho govorn mmit of specio payment on January 1st noxt. After roplyiug to n numbor of questions sub mitted by tho committco, tho Secretary said in conclusion: "My genoral answer, thoron foro, to you is that tho United Statos will maintain Hs notos at par in coin in all parts of tho United Statos, and will do no by tho redemption of such notos as oro presented by tho Assistant Treasurer at Now York, and by tho receipt of United Statos notes for both customs duties and bonds. I think this can bo done without any chango of tho law; but ns to this, Congress must bo tho judgo. Tho treasury will tront tho United States notes and coin ns an oxact equivalent in all trans actions with tho government, and thon all btisincs ovorywhorc in tho United Slates will adapt itsolf to thc ?arno standard. I do not think that I ought to go furthor; and, per haps, in my desiro to bo frank with you, I may have broached quotions that should await tho oponing of Congress." WASHINGTON, Novonibor 22.-Commis sioner Kaum has rcceivod a tologram, from collector Brayton, dated Columbia, November 21, that Captain Hoffman toiographs that his detachment of revenue force wno surrounded lust night in a houHO whoro they'were stop ping, in Abbovillo County, near tho Geor gia lino, by a band of armed men of at least forty, and ordorod to icavo tho county. Thoir lives were threatened and several shots wore fired. Tho officers withdrew to Abbeville Court House to await reinforcements, which Brayton ordered. Ile says warrants for tho offondois will bo obtained and executed. Also that Special Deputy Landford roports tho soi/n re, near Spartan hu rg, of two horses, a wagon ood seven ly gallons of whiskey > and tho arrest of two blockaders. Tho Commissioner replied, instructing Brayton to reinforce Hoffman sufficiently to overcome nil resist anco, and moko all proper Boizuros and arresta, and concludes: "I wish it distinctly understood that I will oppose any furthor amnesty in your Stato. Offen ders must expect to bo prosecuted to tho full extent of tho law. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21, 1878.-Tho follow ing tologram was roooiyod at Ute intornal Rovonuo office to-day; MONTGOMERY, ALA., NOV. 21, 1878. Tho raiding party operating in Calhoun nnd Clobnrno counties, undor oharge of Deputy Collector Strouso, had H ei/od up to thc 10th inst., seven ntillhoueos, nvo copper stills, 8,000 gallons of boor and mesh, thirty gallons of whiskey and made sovorol arrests.

Tho State in largely interested in this road and a bettor man could not havo boon appointed to look after its intorosts. Oon. Connor is strictly honest and ono of tho host mon in tho Stato. Possibly his exporionoo in tho management of railroads may bo limited, but wo havo no doubt ho will givo entire satisfaction.
