Tho redistricting of tho Stato is not making much progross in tho Legisla toro, but there is considerable interest manifested among tho legislators and others as to the outcomo of tho redis tricting, and it is alleged that tho capitol contains a largo number of aspirants at tho present time, while it is not difficult to lind gentlemen Oil tho outside of the legislativo halls who are willing to sacri fico themselves on tho altar of thoir country. Tho Columbia correspondent of tho Greonwood Index includes this spicy paragraph in his last letter: "Tho last cousus made necessary a rearrangement of tho Congressional dis tricts of thc State, and tho redistricting bill will-probably ovoko as much dis cussion ns any ot her measure that will como np. Many of tho members of tho Legislature havo Congressional ambi tions, and every ono of thom will want Iiis Congressional district laid off to his own ndvantago. For instance, tho bill that lins been introduced tnkes Greou wood and Newberry out of tho third dis trict and substitutes tireen ville instead. Greonwood is placed down in Col. Tal bert's district. This doesn't suit tho politicians in tho third district, who want to koop Greenville out, for tho vory good and simple reason that Groon vi 1 tn is tho homo of Solicitor Ansel, who is known to havo Congressional aspira tions. Ansel is recognized as a strong and popular man, and tho politicians in tho third fear him. A strong offert will be made to leave Greonvillo out and take in Greenwood and Laurens, and this would in fact make a compaot and suitable district. If this is dono, Ansel, if ho wants to run for Congress, will havo to run against Joo Johnson, and thora will ho a caso of Grook mooting Grcok." So far as Mr. Ansol ls concerned, wo aro fully authorized to say that tho cor respondent of tho Index is eminently corroct. A representative of Tho Moun taineer made an effort to intorviow Mr. Ansol, expecting that ho would doclaro his intentions in nn indirect way, por haps, ns tho campaign ls far away in tho futuro, but this was an ontiro mistake on our part, as tho genial and popular ox-Solicitor very readily announcod his purpose to outer tho next campaign as fi candidato for Congress, provided tho now district is composed of tho counties constituting tho eighth judicial circuit. Ho is positivo on this point, and for tho present romains silont as to his oourso if Greonvillo is placed in any other combi nation.
