E. BTimJRKAYr Editor. THURSDAY M9RNIH6, OCT. 29, 1877. The mondara of the Graham family, In Ct ar lenton. ;< ho were poisoned last weak are now considered out of danger. The Presbyterian Synod, which met in Columbia last week, was rory well at tended, and was an occasion of much In terest. Many matters pertaining to the Interest of the denomination were con sidered. The meeting wa? very harmo nious. Senator Corwin, of Newberry, Las re signed his seat an a State Senator, and thia makes one more on tho Hst of ex tdatenmen, and will give tho Democrats more than two-thirds in thit body this foll, if they elect men to fill all tho va lance?. It ls thought they can do this. A bill baa been Introduced in tho Uni led States Sonuto providing for the coin age of silver dollars, and will no doubt pasa to a law, as it ls evident that the propio of the whole 'Nation, by a large majority, aro highly in favor of the re storation of tito, dollar of our fathers. Justice and tho wants of the country alike demand it. A Hill has been IntrodtiZ?d lu Ucr.gres* to repeal the Bankrupt oe}, end lt In con sidered highly probablo that lt will pass. Tlie law was enacted Tor tho benefit of thu country, biit Ita operation has proved disastrous In many instances, and the people of all nectlons of tho government aro > lnmcring for its repeal. It will not if adopted affect casen already instituted. President fluyen is nald to bo contem plating n re-organlrjitton of the Republi can party In South Carolina, and ihlnkn that such men ns ex-congressman Simoon Corloy <-ould ngnln lead tho shattered host? of Republicanism to victory In tho Palmetto State. In ihn, however, ho in vastly mistaken. T'%?. Domncrats hove rome in to stay, and Republican rulo down here in a thing of tho patt. The health of Pope Plus tho IX has Iw?cn very feeblo for Homo time past, and his death is likely to occur nt any mo ment. He ls very old, and ls sufforlng from a complication of disensos, which will certainly terminate hin lifo soon, lt ls thought by his physicians. In the event of his death it in said that his suc cessor will bo selected and inducted Into ellice an noon as possible, to provent any estrangements among thoso who may bo proRonted for tho successorship. Fifteen States vote for oflleer* noxt month, and the following muy bo taken as a correct viow of tho political situation in them: D?mocratie-Now York, Loui siana, Mississippi, Now Jamey, Tennes see, Toxus and Virginia. Republican Minnesota, Nebraska and Novada. Doubtful-Pennsylvania, Maiwaohunettn, Wisconsin and Illinois. All of those Staten vote on tho Oth of November, and in addition to them Ooorgln votes op the 5th of December, and may bo added to tho list of certain Democratic H totes. President Hayes baa nominated Hon. John JJ. Harlan, of Kentucky, for tho Supremo Court Judgshlp made vacant by tho election of Judge David Davie to tho Senate from Illinois. Mr. Harlan ia the law partner of ex-Secretary Bristow, and ls nald to li? a. lawyer of gcr?-J ah ill tins, though ho han been comparatively unknown. He ls a Republican, but ls a vast improvement on the muterial from which Grant selected his Judges. Tho action of Mr. Hayes in selecting a :v.*n from Kentucky, Instead of one of the more Southern. States, is a disappoint ment to many Southern politicians, and shows that the President ia not ready to take so decided r? step lu the dirMtlon of restoring the South to Ita full share of tho higher offices of the government. Tho Episcopal Tr lon nial General Con vention ha? adjourned after a lenjlby and interesting session In Boston, at which,tho leading subjects of Intel sat to tho Chu rub wore discussed. , ; The action ortho Convention was moro negative In its resulta than positive. Many changes, moro or leas radical ID their nature, were proposed, and nearly all of thom wore rejected. Tho body recommends mo;? work among the colored people of the South-it provided for on order of dea eonnbasca tn tho ' churches- expressed condemnation of theatrical performance? or othor secular mode? of raising money for church.purposes, And adopted other rocoinniondntlonrJ and rules, hut In ali HUbatantial mattera it declined to make ?..ny changes.

Hpeulal trains will bo run from Belton, and probably from Wal halla, on each day, ot a reduced rate of J fnro. The right of Messrs. HimrTord and F.n?tt", Democratic Hcnatorn elect from louisiana to seat* In tho tim United Ht ates Renato, has boon referred to tho Committee on Privileg?* and Eloctlonn, and hence tho State of I/ou<n*ann will IMI without representation in that body until the committee reports, which will in all probability lie a long time. Tho vote of reference wan a ntrlet party vote, and stood Republicans 30, in favor of refer ence, and Democrats <M opposed. Judge David Davis, nf Illinois, voted with tho Democrats. It in protmblo that tho ease of Kcnntor lintier from thin State will take tho name eon ruo, and th UH thc* Senate v.-ii! for ? <;?.". ??' least bc hi Hep can by excluding Dem?crata who nre entitled to nenta lu that body. This shown that the Republican party leaders do imi Ti,- ?ire a paciilcatlnn of the country, but prefer to keep open, if po: - i t >1 <>, the dlfTorenceM between the North mid South. They would not daro to nxrlodn Senators electod from Northern and Western Staten, but they with Impunity debar Southern mon nf their scuts for the patent purpose of retaining hy fraud tho reins of government which tho suffrage* of the people has taken away from them. Thin Iniquity will, however, have to come to a clono noon, for M can rn. Cotikllng and Matthew * will ?in ve tri step down and out to make room for better men. Mr. Pat terson will he taken caro of in the man sion on thu Congaree, and n Democratic Senator will como in from California. Wo cnn therefore alford to wait, for our deliverance I? at hand, and those Infa men.-,, arl-; nn Hie part of Republican* will only render tho di t ruction of their pal 'y tho moro overwhelming mid hist ing. The chapter of polit leal wrongs and (Vanda In about written, and tho country is rapidly returning to tho mooringa of our forefather*, Tile aituation in France in still critical, although tho Republicana gained nueh a magnificent victory itt tho {Kills some two wcokii ngo. The McMahon government ls determined to retain power at all haz ard*, and, contrary to tho procodont? of vim past, they p.-1 ruin! in retaining their ph.c.: ?,, although nn overwhelming ma jority of tho citizens of Franco have un mistakably condemned their policy, and that, too, in tho face of peraecotiona and tyraniiion unheard of In a free country. Republican papers woro .silenced ; Re publican leader:) wore Imprisoned, and tho government of McMahon, in the name of the Republic, menaced tb? lib erties of France in n manner that tho Bmplro of Ecol* Napoleon would not havo dared reno rt to. Instead of recog nizing tho will of tho people ns ox premed lil tho lato vote, tho Ministry lina ordered the election of 1,500 Counsntllora do Ar l omi hannon t mid Counnolllnra Unnoranx for tho 4th of November. Thin body, when elected, han tbe choleo of all Sona ton, and heneo, If ?ho govornm?nt can secure n majority of those lt can control thc Senate*, as ono-ihird of that body go out o: office lu 1879, and tholr places could bo Ulled by administration mon. McMahon's term lasts until 1880, and If in the meantime he can sec uro tho Henni o illaro hi "very llttlo pronpoet that bo will ever glvo up the Prenldonny, unions it la to mount the throne of a monarchy. France la, therefore, In a dangoroua situ ation, and hor young Republic la threat ened with death at tho banda of Its second Prealdoni. Tho election nn tho tint Sun day in November will dookie tho prob lem of the French Republie. The action of the Democratic House of Representatives in Beating Cain ami Rulnoy from thia State Instead of referring their credentials to tho Committee- on Privileges and Elections' wan cringing aud weak. It wail hot In accordance with usage and waa as much Of an extreme leniency on the part of tho House ns the reference of Eustls and SpoiTord'o credentials were a tyranny on the part of tho Senate. The latter presented the only credentials and are tho only claim ants under tho elections held and of course have a prima facie right to their scats, but Cain and Rainey hold certificates of election from Hoyne aa Secretary of State and O'Connor and Richardson hold certificates of election to the. sams places from Col. Slr.ts as Secretary of State, and hence tho House should have referred the matter to the co ru mitt ce to examine and report which were prima facie entitled to the positions. The Democrats who Voted to seat these men who were not fairly elected, did so from a craven political cowardice, and wa are glad to ass that Messrs. JLi?r~. and Eviasofihl* State with'characteristic good sense and ln dependeue* rated for the ~ferer.ee It pre senta a pitiable aigri of weakness to see 'Democrats in the House voting with tho Republicans because they OTC afraid to meet the Southard question squarely sud that too while the Republicana of the Senate wore boldly and defiantly laying down tho guage of battle cpon thia very Seid. . u *rm-. ..f .While Patterson in Booking to keep away from Booth Carolina through tho aid ortho Courts, lt la probable the Ron ato will ?eek to get rid of h la presence by an investigation of tba manner in wblob ,bo obtained bia election.

RAILROAD NERTI NU. MOKTKHKV, Abbeville County, Ortolsir 17th, 1S77. An enthusiastic incl lii^lily representa tive meeting was held here to-day, Mr. Marion I jil I mer, l*reslilt*nt of pm|?oscd Rail road, in the chair. Col, K. M. Riteker. Of Anderson, wu* first introduced, mid ?ntlled attention to the enterprise from it.-i com mencement tills Kail. Ile said the necessity of a Railroad wus apparent to ail. lt was desiruhlv that ail to bc buiielltteil should contribute towards tier enterprise. Taxa tion was tim iinr?t equitable way of raising thc required amount. Thc Railroad would form, with the Dine Itidge Railroad when completed, the connecting link between the Northwest and .Southern Atlantic ports. Everything necessary fur the success of a Railroad is possessed in this country-geo graphical position, climate in which it is a glory lo live, and soil celebrated for fertility und diversity of products. Unless suitable inducements to remain were helli out to th? young men of the country, those of greatest promise, its hopi- mid mainstay, would mi grate where they could better push their tort lines. This Railroad wax the only hoj>c of restoring th? prosperity of this section of country, lu Anderson County the greatest enthusiasm prevailed with reganl io this enterprise. In all townships where public meetings hail lunn held liberal .subscriptions hud been made. This Itailroud front An derson Court House to Augusta, (ia., would bc the only preventative to thc monopoly of trans]tortation possessed hy thc Ureeu villo and Columbia Railroad. Thc taxes paid this year in addition to the tux for the ltuilroad would not amount to last year's taxation. Tuxes will hu lighter next year. Col. Rucker concluded with au eloquent appeal to work hand ami heart for the re suscitation of the old .State, once the banner Htate of the South. Capt. W. K. Bradley next addressed those present. He exhorted every man to do his duty, aa hy MO doing thc Railroad could easily uncompleted. $3,()nu per mile would finish the road and put the rolling stock on it. Want of a Railroad waa thu cause of low price of land-land had been sold iii this township for $l.o?) per sere. Abbeville County never produced less than o?.OOO bales of cotton per annum, and thu extravagant fruight paid on which ami on all goods re ceived would build the Railroad. .Mr. Til man R. Caines hud assured him that he I would sell uiiv lund from Lowndcaville to Calhoun's Mills nt front $10 to $20 per acre should ibu ivaiimaii bu built. ii was in j tended to pay for thc Railroad in ten yearn by taxation. One-half of the amount of last year's Radical tux hud been levied this I year to pay the interest ot! Stute debt, now I six millions. He assured us that next year thc whole fraudulent Htate debt WOO td he abolished, leaving the interest on the Just Stato debt of $1,500,000 on ly to be ps.h!, for which the royalty ?tn thc phosphates would be sulUciunt. The p-opie thus relieved from any heavy burden of taxation could otford I to pay tuxes to the ltuilroad. The differ euee "between inst anti this year's taxes would build thc Road. IX H. Chumherhtin hod said that South Carolina was Massa chusetts, Alabama and Ohio rolled up in one. This Railroad would he the most lasting monument they could erect. The following resolutions were then read and unauiniouiuy adopted : . WIIKKRAH, wu the oltisens of Magnolia township have unabated Interest lu thc con struction of a railroad front Anderson, 8. C., to Augusta, Ca., and recognise the fact thai it ia our duty to ourselves and to our coun try to subscribe liberally to Ute capital stock of Midi railroad ; therefore, be it Resulted, That we heartily aiprove of the pian of building the railroad by county, town and township subscriptions hy taxa tion, and that we believe thc County of Ab bevillu should make a liberal subscription to the enterprise; and that should it full to do so, then, in our opinion, the townships 1 through which thu railroad i? to luis?, und tho? adjacent thereto, should make lurgc subscriptions hy taxation to the company uui?nm: tilts road. Reso-'reil, Th.xt we hereby pledge ourselves that the citizons of this township will make n subscription of at least twenty-five thou sand dollars hy township taxation to tho capital stock ot this company. Resolvttl, That wo hereby request the other township.! interested in thc projected road to take action similar to this at an early date that community of action between us may be secured. Mr. Latimcr stated that Lowndcsvillo would increase her subueription to $30,000, after which tho meeting adjourned. J. M. LATIMJER-. President. O. R. Bot'ONE, Secretary. History of the Patterson Case. Tho indictments against Patterson are four. Ono of thoso is for conspiracy with Financial Agont Kimpton and State Treosuror Parkor to bribe inombora of tho Legislature Tho facts aro that Pat terson was interested In passing tho Blue Kidgo Railroad scrip for reder ttion at fifty conts on tho dollar, for ?4.800,000 Illuo Ridgo*DondH guaranteed by the 'Suite.

A SACRED MEMENTO. lt trill be remembered by the people of ?anilina that the ladies of Columbia, in patriotic recognition of tho noble nerviosa renderer! by Senator J. IJ. (Inrdon, of Geor gia, nt a time when the liberty of South Camlinn wax trembling in the balance, de termined to present hip infant daughter, "Carolina," with some token worthy of their high senne of gratitude and uficction. With this laudable end lu view, un associa tion was fi inned und u committee appointed to solls t a testimonial und to devise a plan for it? execution. After co usn lt at io a the committee decided upon procuring a mas sive silver vessel, which lt waa their inten tion to present as a baptismal font. Th-; style was fixed upon and the execution of the work won placed in the hands of Slr. Jami? Allan, a prominent jewolcr of this city. On Saturday lust the work waa com pleted, und tho font wa? exhibited to a few friends ut tho store of Mr. Allan in K ing street. Last evening lt was shipped to Columbia, by expresa. It in one of tho handsomest pieces of nilver ever ex hibited in Charleston, and la certainly a fit testimonial to the disinterested patri otism of the gallant Georgian. It in wrought nf nolid nilver, and .stands from baso to rim twelve inches in height, and measures in diameter, acrons tho top. ten inchon. Tho interior ia heavily lined with gold, which is highly and beautiful ly ornamented with engraved patterns showing tho bright nilver beneath. The shape of the font is novel and exquisitely beautiful. Prom a nolid nquaro bas rises a column upon which the bowl proper rents gracefully. Tho exterior ls satin finished, ornamented on tho shank wPh delicately engraved ti~\cory. On uiiu nido of the nowt is deeply and beau tifully engraved the coat of arms of South Carolina, and on the opposite side the coat of arms of Georgia. Around tho rim are liner i bed tho words of Hampton's dispatch to Gordon upon tho removal of tho United States troops from the State Honan ac columbia, vis: "Tho troops havo boen removed. Perice! naaco pre vails. Thank you. Wade Hampton. April ll, 1677," the Bign^ture coming be neath the coat ofurms of South Carolina. On tho opposite aide, beneath the cont of arma of Georgia, are lncrlbed the words: "The women of Colombia to Carolina Gordon." The untimely death of General Gor don's infant daughter defeats in a meas ure tho purpose of tho Columbia ladies, but tho testimonial will nevcrtholoss be presented to General Gordon, and will bo doubly dear to him, linking, an lt docs, tho nacre;', memories ol domestic atil ici ion with tho noble pride sf succors ful patriotic zeal lu behalf of a down trodden State.--Veiw und Courier, '?ind lu ttant.
