A Few Ideas About Walhalla. [For tho Kooweo Courier.] Every year the South boco tu ea more and moro of a resort ' for invalids from the North, who seek io its more genial olimuto healing for the wounds made by the search lott East winds, sudden changes sud long Storms of Northam winters. Experience I has taught that a sojourn io the extreme j South is too debilitating, and a more equa ble temp?rature scorns desirable Wal halla, ia for this reason, most delightfully situated, and, but for the month of March, os favorable a resort as could be found. The admirable way in which tho town is laid out makes it speoially attraotivo. It is so uuliko tho mushroom growth of many plaoes about it. Tho roads aro good, the drivcd pleasant, and Ibero is a Butlioient difference between the customs of the peo ple, and tboBO of Northern pcoplu, to moko a Btudy of thom interesting. Evon during the winter Walhalla ia a pretty plaoc; a broad ptain, flooded with sunshine, smiling up to tho mountaios, whoso varying outlines aro a continuai study. Bat if pleasant in winter, how much more lovoly in spring. From the timo the peach trees waved their pink I plumes in the air it has been growing in beauty till a remembrance uf it will be a "joy^-forcver." Ita beautiful ver dure, luxuriant foliage, lovoly flowers and distant mountains over which foat the Cthcrial clouds of spring, soft fleece upon on a zu'-o blue, make u moat delightful pie? turo to hold io one's memory. The cloar soft atmosphere, too, so restful and dreamy, is just what is needed for in valids whoso nervous prostration necks repose, and this ia oufll icntly tempered by mountain breezes to give strength as well i os rest. ! Now, while wo any all this, in pf lise of Walhalla, und feel that we might justly aay j rouoh more of tho kindness of its peuple, : ?ca,, there is one groat trouble which an t invalid is aure to feel That is, tho limited j fare supplied by ita markets, ond sinoo tho | country produces so abundantly, it seoms as i if only o little enterprise wero needed to supply such deficiency. Charleston, but a day's journey away, will supply sooh luxu ries as tho neighborhood fails to afford; but : the immediate neighborhood could easily be . made to produce moat things needed. Good j mutton, gama and abundance of delicious trout might always be in market, if the do- j mond were suro nud certain. Moreover, j tho winters are BO mild that vegetables might ; with but littlo expenso bo raised under ; gh'SH, and if not ready for the tabla all win I ter, could be had very early in tho Bpriog. ! Thejo things, perhaps, could not be af- ? forded at the ptcscnt rate of board in Wal? hajla, but invalids would certainly be wi] ', ling to pay more for greuter comforts, and this article ia written looking forward to the time when Walhalla ahull become a a pince of largo resort. Hundreds of in- J Valida go every year to Aiken, Thomusville, | Macon, Asheville und other well known places. Walhalla, in some respects, is bet ter than any of them. Lot it onoo booome well known and then let provision be made . for the comfortable entertainment of inva - lids mid it should beaomo vory popular. . ! A bundled invalids, staying three or four months in a plooo, not only leave considera ble money in it, but help its prog-ess in . many ways. ls tho subject worth any consideration? VISITOR.

Sinoo thc boisterous ides of Muroh hove disappeared a succession of soft zephyr like ; breezes from the South havo boon playing j amid the flowers of spring, us gentle as tho waving of on ''aspi><u louf," raising tho , mercury up to Ibo nineties, indicating tho boated turin, producing bright auspices 10 i all vegctablo growth.

Sunn tor Brown, of Ga., io his reply to thc attucks of Senator Frye, of Maine, upon the pcoplo of tho South says: "There was a period io tho history of Massachusetts and Now England when the slave trude was very profitable Georgia never engaged in it; alu very was prohibited in hor original charter, aud she munfully resisted fura time. And an I noticed thc other <lny in u hoot :u tho .Lihr.ry that 1 think good authority, in thc Convention that framed tue Constitution of the United Stutos, Georgia mid South Carolina mndo it a condition precedent to tho Union that tho importation of slaves within a reasonable time should bo prohibited. Now England I du not think mudo that n condition prece dent.. Those who uar do tho trade profitu hlo insisted on a lunger time to import When you imported tho ?laves their laboi was not found to bc very remunerative or the barren and bleak hills and ahorca ol Massachusetts a nd New England. There was a more congenial dime; there was t placo where tho oolloo grow and the to bacoo grew, und various productions thu you could not raise in New England, ant your nnoc8try brought them down and sob them to us, and our a neust ors bought thou from you and puid their money for them and you took that money and I presum you put it into briok and mortar and int fisheries mid faotoriea and shipping; am you wont to work building upon it It was substantial wealth to yuland vot know how to take care of tho dollar. '.But there is another reason why you or rioh nod wc are poor. During the timo w held slave property guaran-oed to us by th Constitution, and since that time, the fur mera and planters, tho mecha biol and th laboring dusses of this oountry general] havo been taxed undor tho tariff laws c tho United States to build up und tnaintai New Euglund faotoriea und New Engl an interests With the money you huvo re ccived from that source and (rom the fish eries at tho expenso or under tho proteotio of tho Government, and from tho imports tiou of ala ces and trotn other sources, yo huvo grown rioh und powerful, while we t tho loss ot slaves purchased from you hn\ grown pour. Hence you ure able to o] propriate 'large emus for educational pm posts while wo arc not able to raise lib suma. "You grew rieh first by the importation slaves und by selling them to us, and ye invested your monti well. Wo held tho for two or threo generations and we mai their labor proiitublo; but somo timo aft (ht; trade had ceased to be profitable and v were prosperous thoso high moral ido whioh tho Senator referred to where I contrasted civilization io New Euglai founded on tho Bible and tho school bot with barbaria n in tho South, as he terni it-these moral idean quickened tho coi science of M issaohusotia and New Engiut to such an ext.?nt that they saw t..o horro of sh very, aud a wail went up over it ai they worn au shookod that thoy absolute violated tim compact of tho Constitut'u aud their Senators will not douy it, in i fusing to carty out the agreement of Ma ssobusotts when tho agreement waa forme that sbo would render back to tho owe his fugitive slave wheo ho went into yo States. And tho honorable Senator frc Muiuo tells us of n very disgraceful sou there, un he considers it, where the trot hud to be Oilled OUI to thu number of 2,0 or Homo othor(l<irgo numbor, to execute t law and return a poor negro baok to slavt again, "lo the days whoo your fathers eal thom blackamoors, and when thoy w proper traQlo, that sympathy was not lively, oonsoiooee was not then so quio cued. But though we had bought property, and paid you for it, owned it, t though it hud been a condition preoed to the formation of the Union and I adoption of the Constitution that you wo Bgrue to surrender fugitives to Ul w! they fled, and, though you had agreed tl J is, yet tlioso high moral ideas of civiliza tion as contrasted with barbarism roso to such a sublimo height finally that you oould not oarry out tho compact, and your con science would not permit it. "Allow me to tell you that wo charged that broken eotnpaot OD your part as ono of the reasons whioh wo thought at tho timo justified us in taking the stops we took to try to dofond slavery by our strong arms, when you would not keep that compact with UB that you hud solomnly engaged to keep. Tho war did ensue, as tho Senator said, and it resulted in tho abolition of slavery. Your high moral ideas prevailed. 1 have again and again said that outside of the immenao loss wo met there, I am glad it is so; but boar in mind wo aro tarotod . with our poverty now boaauso wo cannot oduoato the negro. Toke jour part of the tax on your shoulders and pay us the two billion dollars that were lost in tho negro, after wo had bought him from you, and wo will bo able to cducato him. As a necessity of war you sweep slavery from existence, you tako from UB our proporty, you confiscate it, eo to apeak; for if the abolition of sla very whioh was legal property under tba Constitution of tho United States was not confiscated, if tho destruction of two billion dollars' worth of property was not confis cation, when yon destroyed it without pay ing for it, what do you cull confiscation? Truo, you loft us poor, vory poor- Wo aro not uow oblo to educate tho poor negroes RS they ought to bo educated and as wo desire to educate them. Puy us for thom by tax* iug yourselves and wc will Bgree to appro priate every dollar of it to their cduoatiou." - %mm Stand by the President! THE DUTY OF THE DEMOCRATS-A BUGLE BLAST FROM BAYARD. In tho course of a conversation held io Washington on Satufday Senator Bayard expressed these views of tho effect on the D?mocratie party and on politics of tho alli ance between Mohooo and the Republicans in the Senate: ..Tho 'entering wedgo* of 'Mahoneism' whioh waa expected to split tho Democratic organization iu Virginia will only hove tho effect of harmonizing loco) discontents aod combining the better clements of society in that Stato ond in tho other Southern States in favor of a strict and honorable perform ance of oil public obligations. The notion of Tennessee in funding her full debt with out scaling a dollar, and nt rutes of iotorcst acceptable to ber creditors, is tho best an swer that the Southern States nod peoplo can make to tho Republican managors who charge them with dishonesty and yet seek to disintegrate thom by prostituting publie offices in oid of State repudiation. I am dis posed to believe that the attempt of Mr. Muhono ond his now allies will prove a boomerung to tho originators, and so far from being 'an entering wedgo' to .split the Democratic party in tho Southern States, will only consolid?te its effort for SUCCORS upon a platform that must commend itself to the confidence of tho people of tho Northern States and to the entire country." "What the North and South need jupt now is that tho real condition of society, tho feelings, necessities ond intentions of thc peoplo should bc clearly perceived on both aides ; that misconceptions and suspicions should end, and that misrepresentation mu tually should bc discouraged and discredited. Tho identity and inevitable unity of their interests is too plain to need demonstration, and the wide and extensivo investment of Northern capital in trunk lines of railway communication with tho Southern States whioh ure binding thc poople of Qcorgia with thoso of Kentucky and Ohio, nnd Mobile and Pensacola with the people of New York and Pcnnnylvunia, of Tcxus ond Massachusetts, constitute strong proofs of thc confidence And amicable relations which exist in tho beait of thc peoplo and seem to bo BO little understood or desired by llo publican partisans. The marvellous capaci ties of tho Mississippi Diver for transpor tation of tho grain crops of the great Northwestern Sutes at such nominal cost are proving more and moro tho indivisibility ond ncoossity of our Union. Society con tains many forces, and clamor and acrid and malicious representation for party purposes will find themselves confronted and over thrown by benefaction and human confi dence, whioh, though loss noisy, will prove lo bo tho ultimate conquerors. I think nine out of ten respectable men of the Republican party in tho North would readily admit, tho superiority in eloqucoco and influence of tho ten words and ono lino of Col. Thornes A. Scott, as contained in his cheek for $50,000 to tho Wash ington and Leo University to aid higher education in tho South, ovor tho vindiotivo and elaborate assault so wantonly mado by Mr. Prye, of Maine, tho other day in tho Senato. "I do not think I oan bo mistaken in tho benefit that will accrue, to tho South ond to tho whole country from this insulting and corrupt assault upon tho voters of Virginia by thu Republican managers in tho Senate, lt bas boen universally rosonted by all good men of the South everywhere, and I do not think its wholesome stimulus in bringing them moro ootivoly to tho support of public honor and financial wisdom is overrated by me. It is tho ono objeot of my publie lifo to soo this Union boforo I die u Union of equal and aroioublo States. 1 do not wish to j soo tho power of tho South assume control of tho Union until it is upon principles > thoroughly consistent with the safoly and 1 welfare of the whole. I shall nover advise ? or oootrbutc to a recognition of seotional power asa legitimate roothod of conducting tho Government of this country, but I long to soo tho spirit of mutual confidence spread ing throughout the land, ignoring the lines of States nod still moro of sectional boun daries. , "Aa constitutional Democrats wo should never forgot that Mr. Garfield is the Presi dent of the United States, sod that to bia office are attached funotions and responsi bilities, duties and prorogatives that we are Lound to ace aro proteoted from invasion or embarrassment so far ns our acuso of publie duty shall dictate. I am Dot disposed ta permit the Chief Maglstraoy of the nation to bo kicked and buffeted out of a fair and reasonable exercice of its just prorogatives.-' No Amerioau should be willing to soe thia' done. It is tho admitted Democratio rule that tho powers delegate! to tho several de partments of the government should bo by. them mutually respected, and that one and oil should bo executed io a spirit of comity, whiob is juntas essential to good govern? mentas tho Icttor of tho Constitution itself. Tho Democrats of tho Senate comprehend porfeotly their party relations to Mr. Garfield, and they propose to nek no more party favor from bim than they did from his predecessor. Thoy propose to maintain the. same attitude toward Mr. Garfield as they did towards Mr. Hayes, which I think will, now bo admitted by oandid men everywhere to have been in all respects dignified and worthy, although I cannot help saying that fact never seemed to bo appreciated by Mr. ll nye?, and was characteristically ignored' by thc Republican press. For the first two yearp of Iiis term Mr. HayesWBBbound hand and foot by a cabul of his own party in the Senate, and was uttcrly(uoable to remove any official, however obnoxious and incom petent, unless the leaders of bis party as sented, and not until a Democratio majority carno iuto the Sonate in March, 1879, was ho ablo to efl cot any reformation in hiv official corps, although I admit his efforts in that direction wcro but .feeble. The aid of tho Democratio majority in the Senate wara given to Mr. Hayes generously and thor oughly, and no whisper was ever hoard of the slightest attempt to make any bargain or impose any conditions upon his nomiuaU ing power, save only that tho nominees should bo competent and worthy. Thia course of action ought to bo, and I believe will be, continued towards Mr. Garfield, and the Democratio half of tho Senate will act upon his nominations with a self-re Bpecting judgment, confirming suoh SB they believe to bo good and rojcotiug those' they believe to be unworthy, and at thar same time steadily refusing to aid in any attempts to deprive tho Executive of his just powers and prorogatives, or to degrade him or bis office io tho eyes of the Ameri can people. This is not only right in itself, but I believo it will prove highly expedient. I believe it will gain for those who follow it nod for tbeir party the confidence of patriotic men everywhere, and it will do something to check tho shocking and oorrupt system of "spoils" whiob ia 60 rapidly subordinating publia interests to personal ambitions and destroying tho self-respect and independence of publie servants into whose hands the powers of government oro intrusted, and whose hon esty is our solo security for tbeir adminis tration. "Mr. Garfield bos beet) in office too short a timo to have bis policy of administration outlined by eotion. All we know of him , since he has been President are his publie and private declarations, and as I under stand them they have been in favor of a recognition of tho absoluto and just equality of the States of tho Union and of the citi zens as citizens of the whole oountry. He IIOB signified hie intention to exercise his powers in n friendly spirit to the South ern people according to honor and justice, and until ho is proven falso we moy tako him at his word. If it bo true that he shall prostituto tho poners of his great office to oarry out any oorrupt political bar gain, and send before thc Senate tho Domes of men tiokcted with tho prioe of their political tergiversation, ho will Deed tho vote of tho Vice-president supcrodded to that of Mr. M aliono and Iiis Republican allies to procuro their confirmation. All that wo of thc Democrat io party ask of Mr. Garfield is that he shall oxeoute his duties with an eye single (o the publie honor and welfare, and so long as wo be lieve ho is acting upon that Hoe I do not beliovo ho will have causo to complain of embarrassment or opposition from. Demo* oratio sources." A Woman Killed by her Hus band. SpARTANnuRO, S. 0., May 12, 1881. Yesterday morning Perryman F. tlioks, white, about thirty years old, living about fifteen miles from the city, murdered hi? wife by cutting her throat and shooting her in tho abdomen. Ho thoo attempted to put an ond to bis own existeneo by inflicting threo severo cuts upon his threat, nono of whioh, however, proved fatal. He was af-*' rested yesterday during tho day and lodged in jail. I visited him in his oell to day, and in reply to my question ss to why he killed his wife ho told mo that be did it becauso ho loved her and oho had proved unfaithful to him. He regretted that he' had committed the oritne, hoped God would' forgivo him, and expressed his willingness to bo punished for it. His neighbors say that his obarges against his wife, who is his senior by ten years, aro without tho slightest foundation. They had been mn*' ried fifteen months. The murdered woman was his seoond wife; his first is ?sid to havo! obtained a divorce from bim bconuuo of bis ill treatment. Tho Sooolo hoB confirmed Hon. S.. W.
