Tho New Volume? Another year with its ceaielou round hot passed away. This brief period has beer remarkable for its prominent events and dis astrous occurrences. Comets have appeared lo the beatons, the earth hal boen parohec With unusual droughts, the heat has beet most oppressive, and disastrous fires hav< roged in various portions of tho country, witl great lois of lifo and property. Tho hus bandman, too, who has toiled industriously has also a poor return for hil labori. Bu moro and worio things might havo happoned Let ua bo thankful, then, for what wo bav< and what is promised us. But,'jf nature hos diiregardod hor laws, co too hoi man again proved himself re creant to his high trusts. Tho political rulei of tho people, President Garfield, in a mo mont loost suspected, has boon shot down b] a miserable creature liko a dog. Ilia lifo which promised much for tho good of tin country, has beon prematurely out off. An< tho]prosent moment is occupied in trying th slayer for his miseroblo lifo. With natur tnueb ajar, tho panions of tho people seem t bo run mad. Notwithstanding all this, and much mor that is ugly, strongo and interesting, tin world, busier than ever, moves right on, ant wo roust move with it. Progress is the ordo of tho day. Tho demand for schools ant ohurcbes wero never groator. Ilighor edu cation and bettor morals must bo at ri von for Railroads and tclogrnph lines aro bcinf multiplied. Agrioulturo and its nttondnnt aids woro never moro prosporouB or pro gressive Tbo youth and flower of tb< country aro at work and results, oimplj wonderful in themselves, will bo tho natural outflow. Thoreforo, tho proes of tho countrj cannot afford to log. Instead as heretofore it must continuo to lead, and to do its duty, must lend well. And this shall be our aim, On tho 18th doy of May, 1849, tho fire! number of tho COURIER was issued. From that day to this it bas beon a steady light to tho peoplo of Oconeo. In every contest in which they havo boen engaged the COURIER hos led tho way. On all subjects in which the country has beon called upon to pass judgment wo havo espoused tho causo of the peoplo with earnestness and all the ability we possessed. Wo'/i>?o always had opin ions of our own,'which wo havo expressed from timo to (imo, but they have always beon subordinated to tho publio welfare Tho COURIER has always adhered to Demo cratic principles wherever found. A freo country without Demoorooy would provo a ropo of sand. Therefore, all Americans naturally should bo Domocrats. And tho Soutborn poople, with clear conceptions of duty, aro Democrats. Bcforo tho war the party had distiuotivo principios upon whioh tho government of tho country was adminis* terod for fifty years. Sinco the wnr, with no platform of principles, it hos contonded against corruption and rascality in high placoe for honesty and good govornmont. And wo dosiro to hasten tho day when a ro turo to the old landmarks of liberty will be possible insido of tho Democratic party, with its attondant rule of tho country, in peace and prosperity. Wo shall at all timos, therefore, stand fost for tho country of our fathers. Just to all-favoritism to none. Wo need popula tion, manufactures and improved methods of farming. Diversified crops with exporionco will como, and in company with it, oconomy. To bear us along eueccet fully in this good work, we must havo tho support and sympa? thy of tho peoplo. Herotoforo wo hnvo had theeo and wo beliovo they will be continued to us in tho iuturo. Ingloriously Beaten. Moro than one good thing was accom plished at the recent eleotion in Now York. Tho most desirable thing dono was the defeat of tho Tammany bosses and tho Irving hall orowd. Tho county Democracy of tho city, organised as the party is olsewhoro in tho State, was successful in its encounters with theeo factions of tho party, and wo trust will continuo to bo successful horoafter. But the inoident wo desired to mention is thia; Wm. W. Astor, a near relative of John Jacob Astor, ono of tho wealthiest fomilios of New York, wai a candidato for Congress. Like Ouiteau, ho was a "Stal wart of tho Stalwarts." Ho was a candidato to succeed Mr. Morton, a modorato Republi can. Mr. Astor resorted to his wealth for uuccons. He visited the bar-rooms and lett his gold eagles on tho counters, whether they were all expended for drinks or not. Tho Sun says ho purchased o suit of clothos to electioneer in and wore them until tho oleo? tion was ovor. He also attondod balls of all cl ass os and danced with tho girls. It il estimated that Mr. Astor spout $80,000 and was defeated. Mr. Flower, tho candi dato of the Domooratio party, wai a man of tho people, roado specohes during tho cam paign, refused to spend his money for votes and was eleoted by 3,000 majority. This is a valuable lesson, not only to Mr. Astor, but others of his kind throughout tho country. His rnonoy did not avail him, neither did hi? "family influenco" lave him. Not only aro tho peoplo dedaring war against the bosses and halli of tho country, bat thiy aro setting their faooa sternly against tho uso of monoy and family in iliicnoo in olootions. In elections, the Demo Oratio ide?is, that every "tab should Hand on it? own bottom." Party Troubles. Th? Buooooo of Mahono io Virginia has in duced ?orne of our contemporaries io the Stato to volunteer a? tnooh advice- to th? people, politically, as thoy did after tb? drought io reference to "lowing oat?." Thit infection bei broken oui vigorously, oom* tnenoiog with our eitoemed friend of Ibo Co lumbia llegister, and winding up thus fal with the reipeoted Telephone, of the "Statt of Ilorry," Thie is an "off year" in politice bod our friends are right in giving theil vio ws of the situation, political or otherwise, Tbe impression ha? been gaining ground, aooording to our contemporaries, that there aro bossei or rings in South Carolina, thc head center of their operations hoing Colum bia. It ha? besn alleged that the lait D?mo cratie State Convention wa? unduly manip ulated and all the candidatos for Stato officer, .elooted from tho low country. Wo believe all the aandidates were from the low country, but we do not know as certainly bow thc thing happened. It may be that tho conven tion came to tho conoloViou that all thc "wealth, intelligence and culturo," resido lu that section of the State cud acted upon thal belief. It has been stated, with grounds foi boliof, that the up country wai not "solid" in that body; that the counties of Lauron? Union and Spartauburg itrnyod off after thc flesh pota, but wore much disappointed in thc result. Tho tone of one or moro of the jour nals of theso counties after the event loni orcdonoo to tho etatemont. Bo this as it may, all tho Stato offioinls fell to our low country friend?, and Mr. Buy kin has; bcon rcoruitod , from that section since Wo deprecate, as much ns anybody cnn , divisions on personal or section ni grounds Candidates, ai a general thing, should bo so } lected for their fitness for tho office, withoul j roforonco to locality. Though it is wei g known that no party can livo long whiot Q does not in aomo mensuro tnko its enndidutot 0 or repr?sentatives for placo and distinction from all soot ion* of tbe Stato. Tbe up couti? 0 try bas tho votos and tho power in tho con? 0 ventions of tho party to mako iti own scleo j tiona, and it will bc tho part of wisdom or r the next suitable oconsion to bo a little mort 1 "solid" than heretofore. It is impossible tc . piense everybody iu tho selection of candi. dates for office, but justice and prudence in , tho selection will satisfy the majority and ; prevent ..bolts" and the growth of indopen . dent movements, such as has takon placo in j Virginia. j Wo havo berotoforo conceived it to bo out I duty to speak plainly in roforcnoe to thc . distribution of tho offices in this Congres sional District. All sections of tho Con gressional District ought to havo a fair chance (or tho offices and honors. And tho same . reasoning applies to counties ns well as to i larger bodies or sections. And wo aro sat isfied tho pooplo will look moro oloscly into ! theso matters than they have dono heretofore. Ono thing struck us forcibly in rofcrenco to the campaign in Virginia: Tho Ropubli onn voto was solid for Mnhono's candidatos. , Those candidates were white, und so fur as has bcon slated, competent to discharge tho duties of the office they woro soaking. In otbor words, the negro was not on tho hunt for office, but voled according to tho instruc tions received from his leaders. So, there fore, so far as qualification goos, tho Maheno government in Virginia will not bo like tho Radical government in South Carolina. Ap plying the samo tactics to this State, tho Radicals would say: Put up your in de pons dont candidates for office, tho bost mon you havo or cnn get, and wo will olect them. lt is only in this aspect that tho result in Vir ginia can affect us, and whether that cnn or not, is only in tho womb of tho futuro* Tho Immigration Business Wo havo received a small pamphlet of sixteen pages, by Mr, E. M Boykin, Supor* intondont of Immigration. This production ii intended to i nd ooo immigration from Europo to South Carolina and has boen printed in both English and Oormnn. Tho description of tho Stato is vory superficial and wc think will do more harm than good. There is a map of the Stato attached to tho pnmphlot, printed by Wm. Sloane A viow of this map will give our renders a fair de scription of tho whole thing. Nowhere aro the counties of Oconeo, Pickoni, Aiken nnd Hampton to bo found; but wo find tho "Dis tricts" ont of which they have boon mndo Neither is tho Air Lino Railroad to bo found on this ancient mop. Of course tho pam phlet did not cost much and wo do not object to it on (hut account. Wo objeot to it be cnuHc a correct dosoripiion of tho Stato is not made, nnd which, if published and circulated abroad, would further tho objects in viow. Wo do not want tho Bureau of Immigration dislmnded. but tho manner in which it has boon conduotod by Mr. Hoy kin is discredit ublo tu tho Stato. This publication ought to bo suppressed ot once. The Trial of Guitoau. On tho aooond dny of his trial, a jury of' twolvo was obtained without much difficulty. It is stated that tho jury is mndo up of tho vory bost citizens of Washington. Mr. Blaine. Secretary of Stato, wus tho first wit? noss called by tho prosecution. Ho was with tho President when be was shot and gnvo tho footB of tho case. On his crosa examination Mr. Scoville required bim to givo a full ac count of the diff?rences in tho Republican party as thoy thon oxisted. This ho did in good tasto and very latisfnotorily. Sinco a largo number of witnesses havo boon exam ined by tho proseoution, proving all tho faoti of tho ease, the conduct of (bo prisoner, Sec. During the trial tho oonduct of Guitoau has boen remarkable. Ile will talk in a rough mannor, not only to his lawyers, but to tho Court. The Judge threatened repeatedly to havo him takon from the room, but tho effect of theso admonitions is loon lost on tho prisonor. On the 10th, ns Guitoan was hoing removed frdbl tho Court room to tho jail, a man on horseback fired at him with a pistol, wound ing bim slightly on tho wrist. A man by the name nf Jones has boen arrested os tho offender. Thia (a twioo Guitoau has been fired at since he killod tho Prosidont, but he j has ssc.iped-thns fur. HS Friendship Locals PntKNbsii?i', OCONBB COUNTY, November 21,1881. I have been reliably Informed that ? canine, afflloted with hydrophobia, has visited tho vlolntty of Bruce's Ford and bitten several other dog? In that Community. My informant says also that tho people aro somewhat terrified und have imprisoned their dogs lo ?walt the cons? quences. They should be oareful indeed, for an inoislob perpetrated by the envenomed fang of a mad canine ls.horrible in the extreme.

[From tho News and Courier. ] COLUMMA, November 21.-Tho Governor arrived in tho city to-night from his planta lion near Saluda Old Town. Tho incoming trains brought in many of tito members of the Goneral Assembly und tho hotels and boarding houses aro filling up. In a conversation with a rcporior for tho Arcitw anti Courier to night Governor Ilagood stotod that his mossngo would not be pro sou tod to tho Legislature until Wodnosday. Tho Govornor, liko ovory ouo oleo whom I havo convorsod with, scorns to anticipato a protracted sossion. Tho fooling in roforenco to tho lion law is vory intense, and tho desperate fight on tho question of roponling it is sure to occupy the attention of tho Legislature. Tho friends of repeal aro confident of carrying tho lowor branch of tho Legislature, ns they havo done twice heforo and thoy will push it in the Sonato too. There it will moot with sharp resistance and tho adv?calos of tho law con fidently oxpoot to kill the repealing bill in tho Senate oven if it gets through tho IIouso. 1 havo conversed with a number of tho mem bers of tho two Houses, and while they un doubtedly favored tho repeal of tho law the opponents of ropoal aro strong and outspoken against any such attempt and declaro that they will fight against it to tho bitter end. , Tho oontost for tho Cirouit Judgships is also tho subject of nomment and 0?; friends of the several candidatos aro arriving. Judge Oothran has no opponent yet that 1 can learn of. For tho Barnwell Cirouit tho nam :s of Gol. J. W.

Miss IIAOR--From "Kussoll," tho bril liant correspondent of tho Augusta Chronicle we take pleasuro in copying tho following highly complimentary notice of-Misi Hahr, a young nnd gifted musician of Atlanta: "At this long distance, I may bo pardoned for introducing mention, in this connootion, of n musical celebrity of Atlanta, whoso gifts and attainments entitlo her to a mora than local fame.
