The delegates from the several Pri mary Clubs are requested to attend punc tually at the appointed hour. In addition to the delegates to the Convention every^lyemocrat in Ander son County is invited to be present. JOHN B. MOORE, 1st Vice Chairman. E. B. .MUPRAY, Socrotary. Thia sentiment of Governor Hendricks deserves a wide dissemination in South Carolina : "He who now, without oauae, shall sow discord and excite jealousies in our ranks is riot a true Democrat." ' Let us present such a demonstration on next Monday in Anderson that the hopes of independent candidates w - ll be buried forever, and that we shall have no further talk of such thing in tho coin . lng canvass; The Cincinnati Gazette says that Heury VIII married the greater number of his six wives from whim if not from genuine affection, but he was no happier with the last ftvo than with the first, who was ' forced on him through State considera tions. Old Anderson led off in the move for victory two years ago, and is again in line for tho battle to maintain tho glo rious victory already won. Let overy Democrat strive to make the Conven tion on Monday worthy of tho great party and of the t??Ue sentry whose political reorganization it celebrates. . The papal conclavo concluded its ses sion on lost Thursday, after having elec ted Cardinal Glonchino Pecci Pope. The^?ew Popo assumes tho title of Leo XIII., arid is very popular with the mom ' bera of tho Catholic Church, and bolongs to tho more liberal party of hia church. His selection gives general satisfaction to tho European powers. A revised .circular, just issued by tbe commissioner of internal revenue, sus pends offers of reward for information as to illict distilling in the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala. bama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia and Weat Virginia, as more effective methods for tho suppression! of illict distillation in those localities aro . now being put into operation. Wc present on? readers ibis week with another chapter of tho Investigating Committee's report upou public frauds, and those who read it will got a further insight into the rascalities of the Repub lican party. After reading thia our pea \ pie will no doubt more highly appreciate their deliverance irorn the infamous rule or the-thieves, and'appreciate more highly their liberties as secured by the Democratic party. We havo no danger threatening the Buccess of the Democratic party in South Carolina tb!? year except the efforts which aro being made to get oct inde pendent candidates, if our people are BO simple as to allow a set of unprincipled men, who seek only to build themselves Up'at the expense of the best interests of tho State, to tear to pieces the Demo cratic party, then we may confidently expect the rascalities cf the past to be perpetrated again in our State govern ment._. ?'._ Tbe Now York Sun says that if Gov. Nicholls d-eas pardon Anderson, it will bo at onco understood as part, of the bargain made by the traders in office who gave tho Presidency to Hayes for tie political and personal advantages vfhich they were to derive from his ad ministration. There ls no other good reason for a pardon to Andorson. There ii no other explanation of it. Whether Nicholls made the bargain in person ere through others, it is all tho same. It !a bartering justice for office.. ' The Baltimore Gazette says that it Is very easy to say new* that Tilden waa right sud tho Electoral Commission should never have been created, but we havo yet to hear of any other means ihat could hove been devised to secure a peaceful count, nnd it is a matter of cont "Y\ mon report that even Mr. Tilden was not in favor of settling tho question with powder and ball. AB between the re gency of Grant and the presidency of Hayes, fraudulent though it is, the Re public is immeasurably safer with tho latter. ; If tho Legislature 's unw?liug io re duce the pay of members of the present ! .General Asseinblr to three dollars a dav. wo hope it will ai least adopt a aiutuio ' regulating the pay bf members of ; futuro Legis!atures at three dollars a day; Give the people tho assuranco of a chango in this salary burJncss. Many other salaries , have been greatly reduced, and the legis ! lotore ought t? cut u?w'tr?hcir, ow? pay aa well RS the pay of other officers. We suppose, the Anderson delegation favor thia reduction, aod hope they say r-scute 1 im adoption. Tho proposition to divide Charleston County into foor counties is being" warm ly discussed by thc present XVegisiature. if it ?bou.ci i>3 adopted there will bo three now counties formed, and the re riult will probably te that at least two ... new Republican '?Senators and several &ftfceto?blienn Reproa?ri t?tiges. Such ?et at'this timo Ycou?d i-"; highly injudi L aa we cann >v ?C^rd to maka pres the Radicals. This Js *. bad time make this kind ox ?haugw, and wo ho m?m?atsmm$mmw??iM TOE FENCE LAW? The Governor hu approved the Fence Law Aet With reference to Anderson County, tthtsh wo published last wevt. This ?eitles the law for the County, and Wc? hope that hererftcr there will be no further disaffection on account of it. It is now the law of the land, and our citi zens should not allow it to intrude into public matters, In view of tho possibility of an alli ance be''?/een England, Austria and Italy it is interesting to learn that the Aus trians cnn put at least four hundred thousand men in the field and Italy about three hundred aud fifty thousand men. That Russia is in no position to disregard the wishes' or trample upon tiie interests of neighbors so well pro pared for war is clear. Acco Jing to an English exchange the Italian govern ment can bring into the field 340,000 men, and can mobilise 100,000 militia for a second line. Italy has beside 800,000 men in the reserves. All the corps of the first line are armed with the 1870 ri fles. All the guns of the artillery are breech loaders; the old 12 inch cannon is abolished. Only the militia retain the muzzle-loading rifle cannon, and the old muskets remodeled. In tho above num bers the so-called territorial militia kept for internal ?orvice aro not included, nor sundry garrisons. The Italian forces are divided into armies, army corps, and di visions. A division consista of two bri gades of infantry, two squadrons of cav alry, and ono brigade of th rie batteries of artillery. Thc army corps is formed of two divisions, and of supplementary troops, ?. e., ono regiment of bersaglicri, one brigndo of cavalry, and one Brigade of engineers. Tho number of nrmies into which tho forces aro divided depends upou tho stre.getieal necessities nf thc war. The armies may be composed of three, four or oven more army corps. There is a "vast difference between this array and tho little army which Sardinia sent with tho French and the English to the Crimea. Tho Italians have a decided interest in tho fido of tho Adriatic pro vinces of Turkoy. Tho Austrian inter est is on tho Danube. If the Italians permit Austria to bo overKden now, whn shall guarantee King Humbert against loss in tho early future ? Tho Legislature is considering the pro priety of legislating to prevent members of tho General Assembly and other State officers from accepting free posses over railrouds. The adoptiou of an act to effect this would bo a stt*p in tho right direction by a reform Legislature. We ?rged as one of tho charges against the Republicans hut they accepted free passes over tho various railroads and then charged and received their mileage in . addition. Under the now administration j it was to bo hoped that this practico, would bo more respected in tho breach than in the observance, and that no Dem ocrat would accept theso passes, which j would placo him in a dolicato position whonover any right touching the interests of tho railroad may come up for action. It was especially thought that under a Democratic government mombors of the Legislature weald not travel upon freo passes and then charge tho State mileage for expenses which were not iacurrcd. But these expectations have not boen verified, and wo think the bill introduced by Senator McCall, of Marlboro, to pre vent any further abuse in this respect is well-timed, and doscrves the hearty sup port of the entire body of Democrats in tao Legislature, it will also rcceivo the support of the asaos of tho people of South Carolina. The Philadelphia Times says tbo-name of Leo, which bas boen chosen by the new Pope, bas been borne by very illus trious members of the Papal line. Leo I, ia the fifth century, made the first im portant efforts to extend tho power of the Roman See ; Leo III. was the Popo who crowned Charlemagne aud separated Homo from the Byzautiue Empire ; Leo IX figures prominently ia tho history of the eleventh century, aud Loo X woo the great John de Medici, ono of the moat i brilliant of all the Popes, and in his time S one of the most powerful sovereigns of the world. Leo XI, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, reigned less than a month, and from him wo pass to Leo XII, who bore so prominent a part in Italian affairs a half a century ago, and by his able administration left a untse which the new Pope may be proud to The Winnaboro News says people may bo ander the pleasing delusion that the acceptance of the Consolidation Act will leave a total debt of only $6,985,000. This ia an error, unfortunately. The out standing consolidation coupons and bo nanza warrante reach $1,049,629. Be sides this there aro proven bills of tho Bank of the State for $789,179 and an unknown amount not proven. Tho cheering intelligence is also given that the liability of the State on occoaal of tho Savannah aud.Charleston Railroad will not be more than 5765,000, with interest Heaven knows how much. Then there are Spartanhurg and Union Railroad bonds. With a funded debt of $6,966, 000, a boating debt of $1,785,000, and a contingent liability of $765,000, and per haps more, always "with interest," the Stats hos no reason to feel pnrs3?prcnd. Tho dog isn't BO dee dee fat after all. A Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gdictle thus writes, at 1 ?. m. : '.'Both Houses of Congress' have recently made a great public show of temperance, by forbidding the sale even of beer, at tho Capitol restaurants. Ono result soeerut to have been a great increase i?? he number of private demijohns in the committee rooms. At all events, persons >f larg' experience at the Capitol say hero bas not been so much drunkenness m the floor of the Senate for tea years as bera is at this night session."

Hating mud Bloodshed-Freshmen and Ko i:h o mo re* Kxchanrdiig WioU-How Jt Knded. A letter from Princeton, N, J., given the following account of the shooting affray, lent week, between freshmen ana Sophomores, tit Princeton College : A week ago A. H. Attcrbury, of Tren ton, and J. It. Carter, of Montclair, N.J., membeni of Princeton College sopho more class, bored a freshman n?mcd Lane, cut his hair, and committed other indignities the. '.?ii to a meeting of the freshmen class athletes, and a decision to resent the insult to their fellow-member. They called to their aid two sophomores, who, with a majority of tho freshmen, belonged to the Alpha Sigma Chi Socie ty. On Monday evening, aller a lecture which all the students attended, Attcr bury and Ca ter went into a saloon, and while they v. ere there thu ten freshmen blacked their faces and hid near the room of the two men, on the second floor of the Mansion House, nearly opposite thc college campus. About ll o'clock tho two sophomores went to the room. They were seized and gagged, their heads shaved, and they were asked to sign au bumblo apology for maltreating the freshmen. ''Sign it, or it will bc worse for you," said tho leader. The sopho mores refused to do this, and tho fresh men again gagged them, daubed their shaved heads with mucilage, stripped them and spanked them with a paddle until Carter well nigh minted with pain ; but do what they might, they could ex tract nothing but defiance from tb? sophomores, and at length they were forced to leave them gagged. The sophomores were released, and gcttwig hastily into their clothing grabbed re volvers and pursued. They discharged a barrel apiece as a signal to the other j sophomores, and then went on. They overtook the freshmen nt the University j Hotel, and. leveling the weapons, called on the freshmen to halt. The order was uot obeyed, and Atterbury fired. The freshmen wheeled, and producing're volvers, returned the fire. Emin ten to ! twenty shots were exchanged, and then Attcrbury cried to Curter, "I'm shot," and fell. The freshmen scattered in all directions, and were out of sight in a twinkling. Dr. Wikofl' was got out of bed, but lie refused t > probe for the* ball by artificial light. Attcrbury was taken to his room, and a throng of sympathiz ing elusnimitcs surrounded him. Tues day morning tho physician, after careful probing, extracted thc ball, which hud "intered the left groin and in a slanting course into the hip. Had it been a quar ter of an inch to one Hide it must have severed au artery and resulted fatally. As it is thc wound is very dangerous. The college faculty held a meeting Tuesday. President McCosh said after wards that the guilty ones would be found out and expelled from college. On Thursday morning che members of the sophomore class wero ono by one called before the collpgo faculty. "Did you go to the dopot Wednesday morning?" was asked. "Yes, sir," was the answer. "Did you take part in the effort to toke the freshmen out of the depot ?" "Yes, sir," was the reply. "Did vou stone the train as it was moving off?'' "Yes, sir," was again responded. "You aro sus pended; you must go right home," waa tho immcdin'.e verdict, and the offending sophomore went to his room, packed his trun?: and was oil" in the next train. Thiri/ sophomores were suspended and dght wore dismissed. Two freshmen were also given their walking papers. Added to tho ten freshmen sent away Wednesday this makes fifty, members of tho col I ego who have pono linnie. Prosecuting Attorney Beasley called upon President McCosh and demanded of him tho names of tho students con? corned in the disturbances. Tho presi dent refused to give them, naying that the college stood toward the student in the attitude of a parent. The college had already punished fifty students, and it vi.f.ld como of ill grace to turn them over to tho authorities. The attorney threatened to take the president before tho courtaud compel him to divulge tho names, but Mr. McCosh replied that he wouldn't tell before a court or anywhere clso. Tho attorney appealed to the pres ident of the village, but that functionary refused to take action. It is thought that the prompt action of the faculty has broken up the insurrection. Tho interest that the disturbance hos excited throughout the country is well illustrated by the scores of telegrams that poured into Princeton Thursdny from anxious parents in all parts of tho Uni ted States, desiring to know whether their sons wore concerned in the troubles. Some of these were sent to officers of thc co' go, but the majority wero sent direct to the students. A sophomore received a telegram from bis father nt 12 o'clock asking whether he was in the difficulty ; j immediately telegraphed that he was1 uot; at 1 o'clock received lils notice of Buspension, and at 3:30 was on bis way home. There were many telegrams, too, i sent out of Princeton, most of them ask ing for funds by telegraph. Suspended students whose homes are very distant aro not required to go all the way home ; hut none of these who have been sent away are allowed to remain nearer than Philadelphia or New York. "One of the Louisiana criminals has been tried and convicted. The Presi dent and John Sherman say he ahould not have been tried. Why not? Hb guilt and that of others is shown by tho verdict. It is a high crime against the nation and threatening the stability of free institutions. What aro the relations botween the President and Mr. Sherman and tho accused that they authorize or permit an effort on their port to influen?a judicial proceedings in a State court? After a long ana terrible contest, it is settled that btato electiona and Stele Leg islatures must be free from military in fluence and control. So also it must bo understood that tho President und his Cabinet cannot directly or indirectly In terfere with judicial proceedings under Slate authority. State courts must bo wholly free and independent of Federal ci.itr?l, except where the constitution and laws give to the Federal judiciary an appellate supervision. It is to bo re gretted that tho acts developed upon the trial are of such a character as to create anxiety on the part of the President and nay of his Cabinet, but they cannot avoid tho e?cct upon the public mind of an exhibition of that anxiety, and of un seeming denunciation of Stato authority. Wbi&t it is truo that the title of Mr. Hayes to the office of President and of Mr, Wheeler to the office of VimwPra-i aent hos been settled under solemn forms cf law-and whilst it ia our duty, in my judgment, to recognizo the title because U is lu the interest of public stability and tranquillity tc do so, it is still none the less true that *>? imperative duty de mands that fitting pu nishment should be visited upon the publh- criminals through whose flagitious crime that judgment was obtained. Because a judgment is fina) and conclusive forms no re??on why im munity should be secured to iL: criminal th rou tm whoso on ri ur? ii ?? obtained. If this is true of*a simple property judg ment, rendered in:& court of. law, much moro h it true of a monstrous crime against the elective sovereignty of a na tion. The very fact that it was success ful furnishes the ?tr vu gea* reasons why ?be condign punishment of its perpetra tors should cove it with perpetual in famy, and manifest to all futuro conspir ara against the liberties of a nation tho langer of attempting its repetition." - Ever remember that, whatever may "ail or succeed, whatever may stand or all, tho consciousness of duty performed .bides forever.-Daniel Webtler. ?-?

Confirmation of 1)1? trtct At toragy Novllirop. patritti ut thu iin'uinmrt Sun. W'?BHiNOToff, February 21, The Scott? executive session to-day wa? aa inte rest ii g aa lengthy. Tho two cases which excited the most interest, in side and outside of tho Senate chamber, were thosa of Northrop for United States District Attorney of South Carolina, and Williamson for Collector of the Port of New Orleans. Judge Northrop sat anx iously awaiting intelligence os to his fate in the room of the Committee on Terri tories, of which Senator Patterson is chairman. In thc room was also Judge Carpenter, of South Carolina, tho subject of equal anxiety, for bo had good reason to hope that the President would send bis name to tho Senate in case of Nor throp's rejection. Mr. Packard, with some of his friends, was In the oifice of the Secretary of tho Senate, eagor to catch thc urst intelligence as to the ac tion ou Williamson's nomination. Two or three day? sioco one of the Cabinet Ministore and a Senator both asked the President to withdraw the nomination of Mr. Northrop. It was represented to tho President that Judge Northrop would bo ??imply the mouth piece of Oovcrnor Hampton ; that Re publicans would not be protected ; that 1!" he was confirmed, the Democracy of South Carolina would know that they could control the Federal Courts in the State, aad that they would then complete tho work of eradicating every vestige of Republicanism ; that in a very short time Governor Chamberlain would bo indict ed, and a requisition m ?do on the Oov crnor of New York for hts body, &c. Thc President declined to withdraw tho nomination, and said it was for the Sen ato now to take action. When Mr. Nor throp's nomination was taken up to-day Mr. Edmunds, thc Chairman of tho Ju diciary Committee, which had reported against it, made a violent attack on him as one unfit to be placed in such a posi tion ; that the Judiciary Committee had given the most careful consideration to the case, and thc Senate ought to sustain ita adverso report. The eloquence of Mr. Edmunds was unavailing^ and the nomination was confirmed by a vote of 31 to 28. Messrs. Hoar, Burnside, Matthews, Conover and Patterson were the only Republicans who voted for Nor throp. Intelligence of tho fact was communi cated almost instantaneously to Judge Northrop, and he was made hanny. Shortly after tho nomination of Mr. Wil liamson was voted on, and he was rejoc ted by a vote of 87 to 16. It waa not long before this news was carried to Mr. Packard. Mr. Kellogg voted for Wil iiamEcn's confirmation, but made no other effort in bis behalf. The affirma tive votes woro given by about an equal number of each political party. Senator Edmunds was so mvh dis Susted with the action of the Sen.. <s con aning Northrop that he left, and said it was not worth while for the Judiciary Committee to spend its time in consider ing tho fitness of nominations. Banks and Banking. The bill to restore free banking to the country, lately introduced by Senator M. C. Butler, has met approval .and encour agement in every direction, notably in the Southern States. It is especially gratifying to find such commendation coming from a quarter where interests and habits might have been expected to create opposing tendencies. In a recent letter to the Raleigh Obterver, we find quoted che remarks of a prominent offi cial of ono of tho ieading national banks ia that city. Ile ia represented as ex pressing a hearty concern for the restora tion of the old State banking system as one, among other commendable features, better suited to the habits and practices of our people than any other; but above all. M having the qualities of economy in management by which aid is given to the operations of business at reasonable charges. He says that money could be easily loaned by such State banks at a rate of interest not exceeding 6 per cent. per annum ; whereas the national banks cannot or will not agree to accept a less rate than 12 per cent. Thero are many reasons for this. Among others, the cap ital invested iu them is largely foreign ; consequently, there is not the slightest tio of sympathy between lender and bor rower. Again, these banks aro restricted by their constitution to a circulation not so large as their capital stock, which is frivolously small m proportion to the needs of business. Their ability, there fore, to enlarge their powers of accommo dation is dependent upon deposits. De positors oxpect to draw interest upon their money, and this is added as an ad ditional charge u pon thc borrower. This, then, with thc ordinary items of expense incidental to banking operations, increas es tho inability of the national bank;-, if it were their desire or policy to do so, to make loans at a less rate than 12 per cent. And the national LAD ka do not look so much to loans as the principal source of their profits as to buying of exchange,. and such operations as were once the peculiar province of commis sion houses. If they had tho amount of curreucy needed to give ease to the coun try by liberal lr ins, it is not their policy to use it in that way. The whole system la not in harmoi.; with the customs of our section. The State bank system bad its defects and might have had its abuses. Experi ence of thsae in their post history would probably avoid a recurrence or them, should they be revived, xor this thero ia an urgent demand. With the rescind ing of tue tax which now represses them, thoy would spring again into existence. They would invite HS capital tho hoard ings and the earnings of the thrifty who look for safe places of investment. They would attract the capital of the more prosperous, which L-isitates to go abroad, which is distrustful of manufacturing ventures, but whicu rr'A not put confi dence in the national banks, owned and controlled abroad, and complicated in tho destiny of all similar institutions over the country, all trembling in accord at one breath of disaster, all shocked by tho same calamity which assails any ono of them, even the most remote. The State banks, restored to their legitimate func tions, would is?ae their own currency, diiruouitb ii'uuinily as cae cmci source of their profits, and at once give relief to the people of the State or tho wholo country. Supposing that their notes will be a little below par, that will not Impair their capacity for home usefulness, and in the transmission of funds abroad the premium demanded will be paid more easily than present bank accommodations ?.if ??w asa. This relief ia connection with tho pas sage of the silver bill would seem to our comprehension all tjintja needed to re auiro provperivy io ibo South. A larger circulation we mast have, and that we will never have, dependent upon the national banks alone. A Washington special of Thursday night says it is reported here to-night on very hlgi. authority that the Pre ideat has changed ?ils mind about the Silver bill, and that ha will sign lt on Monday, on which day it will go to him. it beaid, on the same high authority, that orders have already been sent privately to all the mints to prepare at once to begin the coinage of silver dollars with the utmost force at their command. , The information comos from such sources that it is en titled to ??dit. Tit? Loalslana Question. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19,1878. Thc Ho??? ?p?i?i a thoroughly unprof itable day ?n a wangie over the Lotit siana returning boan]. Slr. Hate made i what iras generali; thought to be a feeble ?peech, indirectly attacking the President. Gen. Gibson replied in good temper, and after several other speeches Gen. Garfield closed the day with a speech in which he declared the President an optimist, who ! had "gone to the verge of the constitu I lion"-whatever that may mean-in his i efforts to produce reconciliation. He de clared himself to be, next to the Presi dent, the most anxious of Republicans for conciliation and an ern of good feel ing, and apparently to prove this he im mediately went on to tell the Southern Democrats that they ought to be devoutly grateful to thc Republican party that it did not hang them all. Mr. Garfield's notion is that the best way to call out a man's friendly good nature is to fling a brickbat at him. The notable part of bis speech, how evor, was his explanation of the relativo rights of Packard aud the President to office, nnd hero be attacked the anti HayoH Republicans, who hold with Wm. E. Chandler that if Pncknrd is not Gov ernor tbeu Mr. Hayes ought not to be President; that the President win? bound to support Packard in self-defence, and that when he failed to maintain Packard by force of arms he, as Gen. Butler said some time sgo, was like - man who should tear up the marriage certificate of bia parents. Garfield answered al!, thia by saying that tho returning board were, by the constitutum and laws of Louisiana, the final judget of who were chosen Pres idential electors, and when they declared the Hayee and Wheeler electors chosen ' that ended all controversy on that ques tion. But, said be, the returning board were not, under the laws, the final judges of the returns for the Legislature, nor for those of Governor, which were can vassed and decided under the law by the Legislature, and as that declared Gov ernor Nicholls to be elected, their d?cis ion was final and must be accepted as such, although he added his wu belief that Packard was really and fairly elec ted. So fur his speech was not amiss, but bo then broke out into a tirade ag&iust the South generally, calling up the Ham burg and Ellenton riots and various other Southern troubles ; declared it an outrage that Wells and Anderson should be tried, aud thought the President must have seen it in tho lrst few weeks that it was impossible ft? him io continue his policy of conciliation. He did not ex flain what he thought the course of the 'resident ought to be hereafter, or whether he, too, wanted a new army sent down to occupy tho South, os some of the other "visiting atatcsmon" have suggest ed. But the truth is the Republicans do not expect the President to change his Southern policy. They know that it ia too late. There is nothing to change, and Mr. Hayes sees no reason for change. What they are now driving at is the fall canvass, and these anti-Southern speeches are made ia the hope that they may once more excito the North against tho South and in the expectation that angry words from tho Republicans hero will lead to angry retorts in Southern newspapers, which can next fell be quoted in tho North as "Southern sentimont." Mean time the fact that outrages have entirely ceased since tho President's policy went into effect is conclusivo testimony of its success, and people see with amazement emin^jt Republicans like Hale and Gar field furiously defending two men of no toriously bad character-Wells and An derson-and wonder why this extreme rage, which looks so much Uko fear. Correspondence New York Herald. Another Letter from Chandler. WASHINGTON, February 22. Mr. W. E. Chandler has written an other letter, under the caption, "Was Governor Hayes a Bargainer?" The let ter proceeds: "Unquestionably he was. Much of the coquetting with Southern Democrats during the winter was done by him. Messrs. Foster, Matthews and others kept him fully advised of what they were doing. Senator Sherman went to Columbus, reluctant to trade off Pack ard, and returned Secretary Sherman, and joined in the trade. Mr. Hayes know perfectly well that the price that he was to pay for the Presidency was the betrayal of Packard and Chamberlain and tho sacrifice of his own honor ; but the fear of the loss of tho Presidency, with its $20,000 io money and its patron age, was too much for him, ana he de liberately paid the price. It would be cowardly to affect to think otherwise. "If the subject is evei investigated by competent authority, it will doubtless be found that he confirmed in some way the assurances given by his friands before Mr. JLevy proclaimed in tho House that all was right, and Mr. Ellis told Mr. Howitt that the cou ni could proceed, and changed hu vote and opposed fili bustering. At all events, it is enough to convict him that his first act on arriving in Washington was to procure or advise an order from General Sherman with drawing Federal support from Packard and inviting the white Leaguers to crush him." LOUISIANA FRAUDS.-Men in Wash ington, who claim to 8pe9k with authori ty, now say that Gov. N?cholla will not pardon Anderson, and will not in any way interfere with the trial of Wells next month. Why should he? The famishment for their offences under the aw is very light The suffrage of the people is the foundation of our system of government, end these mon deliber ately falsified the returns in such a way as to change tho result of a general elec tion. Surely, the law should provide punishment for auch an act, and that punishment should be inflicted. Such a crime, more than any other, should be .nude infamous. The beneficiaries of the fraud-the receivers who have the stolen goods-may seek to give standing to Wells and Anderson by keeping them in Federal offices, but that or any other sup Ejrt or fayor to the men is a confession, ardon ia for those whoas guilt is doubt ful, or those who. by reformation, or re pentance, or restitution, have atoned for their fault. Has any ono heard of re pentance in these cases? Restitution is impossible. All the good they can do In to expose their accomplices, and when they have dons that forgiveness and par don may properly be nrced.-fiaorWnu tournai of Cbmmerce. ? ' -mt m **? 1- It is a fact generally known that monk? and nuns o>i assuming their vows, and Popes on ascending the pontfical throne, usually change their names. ! The reason of this change in the case of the Popes is a superstitious belief that unless this is done tno pontiff will not live long. The custom has prevailed since it rr ns inaugurated in 660 by Octavian Couti, who assumed th* name and the title of John XII. -Inline Medici would have made a breach had he been permitted, but his friends prevailed upon him to take the name of Clement, he being the seventh Pope to baar tbiv m.??o. Thirty two years later, in 1766, Marcellus Ser vius waa elected, and insisted upon re taining his own name. As Marcellus II., therefore,.he ascended the thrc*o on the 8th of April. He was a young man and in robust health, and yet he lived but twenty-one. days siter his elevation. Since that time no Pope has ventured to offend against the tradition. It is a little ciogalar that while the name of John has been a favorito one, no J .?ss than twenty one Popes having chosen it. uone have chosen it since the death of John XXII., in i nc. The first Pops bearing tho name of Pius took the position in. 142, and thc narro did not reappear after bb death till 1458. JUDGE MACKEY.-The Chester cor respondent of tho Yorkvillc Enquirer writes as follows : Judge MnOkcy nrao ?II ?OTH ?? ?ji*ur dsy. In tba afternoon ho made an ad dress, ill which be stated that he bad' won the Judgeship by no strength of his own. but had been lifted to the position on tne shoulders of the people. Chester, be said, set the ball in motion, which rolled on through the other counties, fathering strength as it reached Colum ia. He spoke of Gov. Hampton as the leader of the forces in his behalf, and ac knowledged the assistance rendered him by Gen. W. A. Walker. The uewly elected Judge then spoke of the opposi tion that was organising in Conimbia and throughout the Stnto to the re-elec tion of Hampton to the Governorship. General M. W. Gary, the leader of tho opposition, had said that Hampton would be too heavy a load for tho people to carry, ?oventy-five thousand people would relieve Gary of his share of the burden. The Democracy of every town ship wore urged to organize. The masses of the '.olorca people favored an honest gover :ment, as their welfare consisted in tlte establishment and continuance of a government of this kind. Thc principles of true constitutional Republicanism were embodied in tho Democratic plat form, and to give them success he was willing to follow where any bold man would lead, or would lead if anybody else would follow. Judge Mackey closed his brief, but forcible and earnest speech, with acknowledging hU debt of gratitude to thu people for the great honor they had conferred upon him, and pledging them his best services. It is evident that his purpose is to work earnestly and faithfully for the re-nomination and re election of Governor Hampton. - The postage stamp was introduced in Loudon January 10, ?840, by Rowland Hill, in connection with cheap postage. Tho next usti?n to introduce it was France, nine years after. Germany be gan to uso the stamp in 1800, and was the first to introduce the postal card. In 1874 Gr'.at Britian realized a net reve nue from its Post Offices of thirteen mil lions of dollars, whilo the United States, in tbs ramo time, lost about twenty-four millions. - Two years ago a drover started from California with 4,000 sheep. Ile hal just a- lived in Texas, having driven the flock all the way, assisted by two well trained dogs. The sheep have increased in numbers, and frequent stops for pas turage bavo kept tham in good condition. They aro intended for slaughter in tho Eastern market.
