rAIRFIELD HERALD TR T9B80110, J10. S. REi OOLbS, Editor Wltindedy Morning. January 6, 1876 Valedictory. With the proient issue to; miate my connection with the editoria dopartm ent of the Nmw and HERAJP Having accepted a position on the editorial staff of the Charlostoi Netcs and Courier, it becomes no cessary for me to sunder ties which have bound me closely to the poo plo of Fairfield and to relinquish a task which though sometimes irk some has been in the main attendei with pleasuro. During my man agomont, as before, it has boon the aim of the NEWs and HERALD to conservo the best interests of th< whole people, and, while manifosting no partisanship or fanaticism, to maintain right and to denounce wrong, wherever found. The difficulties attending this self imposei task were lessened by the conscious ness that the pulse of the paper throbbed in unison with the pulse of its readers ; and to their cordial support is due any good which may have resulted from its efforts The past three years have been marked by political gloom and financial embarrasEment. It seemed at one time that the lane would have no turn-the dark cloud no silver lining. But impercepti bly*the future is brightening, and the dawn of a bettor day is at hand. Political violence and robbery are creations of the hideous night fol lowing reconstruction. The world finds no pbce for them now. The besotted villains who do not yet comprehend this fact are encom passing their own destruction. They are excrescences on the body politic and will be lopped ofE The noble stand taken by Governor Chamberlain and the determined support of all good elements with in and without the State give as surance of a victory for reform, if the people but do their duty. And the feeling of outraged decency in the breast of every true Carolinian at the recent insults perpetrated by the Legislature will insure the necessary energy. South Garolina will be redeemed. Great financial embarrassment still prevails. This wvas caused by the changed condition of the peo pie brought about by the war, by the extravagance which attends an inflated currency, and by the mis government of the party in power, which banisfied capital from the State. .But the people are gradually learn ing to adapt themselves to the change in their condition. They are learning to 'become produce: s as wvell as consumere. And the govern mojnt is becoming less and less an engine of confiscation. Theo is theref or6 reason to hope for osmo1LitedL to hin. Ho then asked if ho could not stty at the hotel, but the ofieors info:incd him ,thamt their #rders woro to carry hiin to the City Hall. He thmen wont with the officers to that place. Judge Snead required him to give a bond for one thonsand dlollars. This~ could not be done justat fthat time, so ho ~vas kept in custody. The oflicers who wvent to the Augusta Hotel in quest of Mr. 'Woodward found that that g tlpian had disappeared., He had o dontly heard what was .idtended V and thereforc kept out of the wvay. The offieers remained about the hotel during tho mnorning. b een the two gentlemsn had 'be submIfitted to a board of honor, consisting of Gen. M. C. Butler, Gen. Mi. ' Gary, M[ajor J.

Bothm Mr. .Wood *wrd and Mr. Clowney .will returri to Winnsboro, th morning. swe are informed, the origin ol the diIgcegity was as follows a- Mr. Olowney, who owns a pla~ci neai Winnsboro,'had given 'directions tc \a negro man employed ,lly him, t shotovery dog annoymzg his sheep sothe time after the or4er' was-given , rWoodward was out hunting 11i~ with him a dog which hed 1fike vr'ighly.

Thtguestfojis that'04_ ven' pwv prgseited for; 0e consideration and determination of the Conservative people of South = Carolina, and other issues that are certain to arise within a fev muths, are plain to every thinkig. person. It is useless, as it is impossible, to. disguise the fob. that we have reached in State affairs a griss more 1 fraight with interest and iniiportance than any through which we have yet been called to pass.- To meet these i issues, to puss safely and tiiumphant ly through this crisis, vill require z, i degree of determination and sagacity which our people have never yet 6 been called upon to exercise. To keep those questions contiu$ 11A and forcibly before the peopie of Fair field, shall be my constant aim. To expose the misdeeds already done and still being done by our present State government ; to applaud the right arta condemn the wrong in whomsoever found ;to bring about such a unity of sentiment, with such an effoiency of orgaunizaition, among the Conservatives of Fairfield, as to make them the power in the State that they deserve to be ; to furnish them with as much as possible of the information which they may need for the complete. accomplishment of these ends ;-such shall be the ob jects of my efforts while I occupy the editorial chair of the NEwS and HERALD. Beyond the domain of politics, there is likewise much that calls for investigation and discus sion. Such subjects will receive their due share of attention. How far my achievements may fall short of my desires, can only 4bo deter. mined hereafter. Conscious of. my inability to do full justice to the task that lies be fore me, and fully recognizing the responsibility that now devolves upon me, I invoke the indulgent con sideration and the friendly co-opor. tion of the good people of Fairfield. J\o. S. ItYNoLDs. Many republicans who, a year and a half ago, denounced Moses as the most infamous scoundrol that ever lived, voted to make him judge. t Of such men is the radical party J of South Carolina largely cor n posed. Steps have beenr taken in many 1 counties of the state, to hold public 1 meetings for the purpose of endors ing Governor CJhamnberlin 's action li in the matter of commlissioning 1: Moses and Whipper, and there is every reason to believe that those meetings will be full and -strong. 4. Fairfield should not be behindhandl i in such a crisis as the picsont. Let " us have a p~ublic meeting. c Gcvernor Chamberlain's action in ref using to commission Whli1 m.d Mosep, stamps him not i reformer but as a mar rnate pluc~k.

There is harlly a xnoro 1LRa radical journal in tho country titan HIJarper's lreelkl.y Ever since 1861 it has been profuse in its strictures upon Southern men, Southern ac tions and Southern opinions, South Carolina coming ill for a very liberal share. But it cannot stand the election of Moses atid Whippe io the bench. It says : "'The whole party Must take the conseguencos.

But there is sufficient roud for sotpposing that he wvas glad to find an lausWible excuse 'or his course. That the election of ~hese two men is, to quote the Qohvernlor's woei1I, "a horrible dis inter," is obvious. Moses needls no( :lescription ;lhe has a national notoriety. Whipper is a prominent negro, politician, wvho has been re peateidly accusM4 by men of both parties 'of frauds on the treasury, mnd who was publicly charged b~y Goverrior~ ChnmbeimIun 'with being dishonest and incapable. If half the reccusations made against these men are true, their elevation to the bench of tile State is most disgraceful. [From ithne'Joston Otobo, 'Rep.] The singlo case in which a South ern State has esoape(l from abomina ble misgovernnient 'without over throwing "Radical rule" is that of South Caroina. After a series of ridiculous 'und shameful bureses on State admiinistr~ation, the better elements united' in suppof-t of Mr. Chamberlain, a . ,republ ican and a man of Northern birth, who has proved tp',be what the best of re. publicai~ are in the North. His adlministrationh has been - one of| thorotfgh'elo1,mnhot aud effi ciency ; but there is danger that South Carolina cannot maintain thn posi ' hiBspha ' s~eeded in gain4 T~.he k6fedlection 'of ox Gov. ~ses aff'd Mr. Whipper as eirdtiit judges indicates that the old influences are still at work trying to pull the State back into its degrada tion. We wish, for the sake of the republicans, that it wore otherwise, but we are forced to the conelusion that at present it is bettor for the Southern States to hav'e the conser vatives in 'the .ascendancy.

The Color Line in Africa. WARTUNGTON, December 27.-In formation has been received from Liberia stating that several of the native tribes encouraged by the sne ce ss of the Goilero tribe near Cape Palmas, made an attack recently on the settlers in Another part of Liberia, but were vigorously re pulsed. A private letter says that the peaeo the republic is some what disturbed by the question of color. President Roberts is much embarrassed on this account ; the fact of his not being of pure African blood being very objectionable to manyv. An intelligent negro from the W~est Indice is the principal agitating spirit who seeka to establish a political color test, taking the side of the blacks against those of light complexion. .The more orderly of the Liberians would re joice if they eguld be relieved of the leader iin this course of mischief. A scholastie professor, in explain ing to a class of young ladies the theory according to which the body is entirely renewed every seven years, said s "Thus, Miss B3., in derven years you will no longer be Miss B."~ "I really hope I shan't," demurely''- responded, the girl, nwostly casting donher eyes.
