E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 15, 1879. Governor Hampton has paired off and returned from Washington. His health, we presume, would not permit him as yet to undergo the fatigue of Senatorial life. Governor Garcelon, of Maine, was in attendance upon the Medical Association in Atlanta last week, and expressed him? self most hopefully upon the political outlook for 1SS0. He thinks the Demo? crats will sweep the country, and believes that they will even carry Maine, Messrs. Blaine and Hale to the contrary notwith? standing. The army appropriation bill was put upon its passage in the House of Repre? sentatives on Monday, without the sec? tion which induced the President to veto it. The House by a vote of 101 to 100 refused to pass the bill without the section prohibiting the use of troops at the polls. The Greenbackers, with the exception of Mr. Ladd of Maine, voted with the Republicans. This vote is a favorable indication of the policy of the Democrats, for it shows that they do not intend to surrender entirely to Mr. Hayes and bis boss?Zach. Chandler. The President has the thanks of both parties for his recent veto?the thanks of the Republicans because he has stood up to tbem and secured the use of the army to influence elections, and of the Demo? crats because be has had the hardihood to proclaim his party's approval of military interference. The Democrats ought uot to want a better campaign document than his veto message. It should be scattered broadcast all over the Republic, that the liberty-loving portion of our people may see the-dangers to which Re? publicanism is bringing us. The monument erected to the memory of the Confederate dead by the ladies of South Carolina was unveiled in Colum? bia on Tuesday last. It is situated on the left and in front of the Capitol build? ing, and is a fitting testimonial of the fidelity and honor with which the women of Carolina cherish, in common with the sterner Bex, the memory of that great and noble throng of brave patriots who acted out the sublime motto of our State, "Animu opibuaque parati." The unveil i jg ceremonies were performed in a very oeautiful manner in the presence of an immense crowd of visitors, concerning which we will present a more extended account in our next issue. The Savannah Valley Railroad corpo? rators at their meeting at Lowndesville on Wednesday, the 7th inst., decided to press forward the construction of the proposed line, and will therefore appeal to the citizens of the several townships through which the road is to pass for a vole of such a tax as will ensure its com? pletion. The subject will bo fully dis? cussed, and the many advantages which the road will confer upon the Western section of upper South Carolina will be demonstrated by the advocates of the road. It runs after leaving Anderson Court House through one of the finest sections of our country, which has hith? erto remained undeveloped on account of its distance from market, and when completed will render what is now one of the most sparsely settled regions a perfect garden spot. Rev. J. C. Fnrman, D. D., and Prof. C. H. Judson have tendered their resig? nations as Professors in Furman Univer? sity, to take effect at the close of the present session. It is very much to be hoped that the Board of Trustees will not accept these resignations, for the places to be made vacant cannot be sup? plied by such able and useful men as those who now occupy them. The insti? tution was largely endowed by the father of Dr. Furman, and he has been a Pro? fessor in it for so many years that he and the University are inseparably connected in the minds and affections of the peo? ple. Prof. Judson also is a very able mathematician and scholar, whose servi? ces would be difficult to replace. The Cinciunati Gazette is authority for saying that the Republicans rely upon their capital to starve Southern Demo? crats into voting for the appropriation bills in order to obtain their owa sala? ries. It is said that a Northern mil? lionaire has offered to cash the Republi? can pay certificates if they will stand firm, and that numerous others are will? ing to do the same thing. There is .no doubt much truth as to the superior ad? vantages of the Republicans in this respect, for by their course of jobbery and fraud during the past eighteen years they have created monopolies and rings which are anxious to see them return to full power in the government once more, and are willing to advance a handsome sum of money to secure this, and espe? cially where they will only lose a little interest on their money by the transac? tion. It will probably turn out that these calculations are false, for the Southern members of Congress will suffer the inconvenience, however serious, if it is thought best for the country; and though the Republican members of Con? gress may be able to get their own sala? ries, it will not be easy for them to obtain money with which to pay off the army and the thousands of government officials, who are practically all Repub? licans. Thus it will be seen that if a seige should be agreed upon, the press? ure would rest heaviest upon the Re? publican party. The starve-out policy is frequently very effective, and we would like to see the plan tried on the Repub? licans at this time. It would put an end to their game of bluff. Among many unwise and dangerous provisions looking towards communism in the constitution of California, which was adopted by the people of that State last week, there is one which, though more suitable for an act of the Legisla? ture, is nevertheless a good one. It pro? vides that no Judge shall draw his monthly pay where be has cases unde? cided which have been committed to him for more than ninety days. Such a law would no doubt induce the judiciary to render decisions within the time pre? scribed by law, and would therefore be beneficial. i The Southern Baptist Convention^ which assembled in Atlanta Inst Th?rs'' day, organized by electing Rev. James P. BoyCfy 0, D., President- Rev. j. B. Jeter, D. D., Rev. W. C. Cra?e> ft D., and Messrs. Joshua Severing and C. C. Coke, Vioo Presidents, and Messrs. W. E. Tanner and W. H. Dobbson Secreta? ries. There were about 350 delegates present. The introductory sermon was preached by Rev. J, C? Eurman, D. D., of this State. The time of the Conven? tion was principally consumed in the consideration of the mission work, dur? ing which addresses were heard from Rev. Messrs. Hartwell and Crawford, who have been missionaries in China, Rev. Mr. David, who has been a mis? sionary iu Africa, Rev. Mr. Buckner, who has been a missionary to the In? dians, and Rev. Ceo. B. Taylor, D. D., the missionary to Rome. The Conven? tion was very harmonious in all its work, and the uttermost courtesy and good-will marked its entire session. On Monday night, or rather Tuesday morning, it adjourned to meet next year at Lexing? ton, Kentucky, and Rev. P. H. Meli, D. D., of Georgia, was appointed to preach the Convention sermon. The citizens of Atlanta entertained the Con? vention in a hospitable and generous manner, which will long be remembered with great pleasure by those who were its recipients. In order to accommodate its view of legislation to the quickened conscience of Mr. Hayes, Congress passed and sent to him, apart from any appropriation, a bill to prevent the use of troops at the polls in times of peace, which it was thought he would find no plau? sible ground upon which to place his veto. This has proven to bo a wise step on the part of the Democrats, for itcompelled the President cither to allow the bill to become law or to openly and squarely espouse the cause of military interference with the ballot box. In this straight the fraudulent President has yielded to the pressure of the stalwarts, and returned the bill with his veto on the distinctly avowed opinion that the use of the military ou such occasions as may be necessary is sanctioned by the principles of the constitution and the precedents of the republic. Thus the Republicans have been forced to take their true ground, and acknowledge their intention to use the troops to control the ballot. This is enough, and if the Dem? ocrats cannot make a large amount of po? litical capital of this veto they are cer? tainly devoid of able or practical lead? ers. _ The trial of Cox for the murder of Alston was concluded in Atlanta last week, and resulted in a verdict of guilty of manslaughter, the sentence for which was imprisonment for life in the penitenti? ary. This is better than it might have been, for murderers frequently go entire? ly free; but the result is far from being a vindication of the law, for the case as presented was clearly one of murder or nothing. There was no sudden differ? ence, whereat in a moment of passion be shot Alston and killed him, but was a deliberate and wicked plan to take human life. Cox secured a pistol, made threats, and was reasoned with, all before the killing occurred. There was, therefore, not only implied but also expressed mal? ice, together with a formed design to kill, which robs the offence of every sem? blance to manslaughter, and makes it one of the most flagrant murders. Cox, however, was wealthy, and in this case, as in thousands which have been tried before, money whipped justice. The Democratic papers which are go? ing out of their way to abuse Governor Tilden may have cause to regret their trouble. It is by no means certain that he will not be the nominee for President next time; and if he is, we will all have to render him a cheerful and hearty sup? port, for he is an infinitely better man than any person the Radicals will run. It is, therefore, bad policy to be berating him now. We do not desire his reDom ination, and would prefer Bayard, Han? cock, Thurman or Hcndricks to him, but if he is renominated then he will be? come onr choice. We know that it will be the same way with our esteemed contemporaries who have lately been so severe upon Mr. Tilden, and therefore we hope that Democratic journals will refrain from attacking any presidential candidate in a manner calculated to in? jure their usefulness in supporting him if he should hereafter be nominated. The Democrats will doubtless continue to pass bills repealing the infamous Rad? ical election laws, and thereby put the President to the necessity of placiug himself on record as favoring the ma? chinery which enables the party in power to retain control of the govern? ment by fraud and force. A few more such candid vetoes as the one the Presi? dent has sent in on the bill to prohibit military interference will soon startle the country with the avowed and well or? ganized effort to centralize the govern? ment by subordinating the freedom of the ballot to the will of the Executive and to the political parly to which he belongs. Honest John J. Patterson, a former Senator from this State, was made chair? man of a committee of three from the Senate to investigate our Indian rela? tions, and was the only one of the com? mittee who acted. He was gone twenty five days, and succeeded in spending a very snug little sum in the way of inci? dentals, of which action the Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist says: Honest John J. Patterson thinks his little bill of $17,000 for a twenty-five days trip to the Indian Territory very reasonable. He says he could have made the expense much larger if he bad not been in an economical mood. Like Lord Clive?the boss robber of later times?Honest John is astonished at his own "moderation." The Kansas City Times says: "David Davis and Alex. Stephens ! There's a Presidential ticket we could support through thick and thin." Such a ticket would come as near being a nondescript j as any that could be arranged. ? The Radicals were never making a harder struggle than they are now to keep blazing the passions and prejudices engendered by the war. Patriotism on their part is manifestly in astatc of abey? ance.

Barnwell People: On last Thursday, in a difficulty at the mills of Capt. 0. H. Millhouse, John Dowling, colored, was struck on the head with a rail by David Reed, also colored. Dowling apparently received no serious injury, as he was able to be up ahd about; "but on P.unday he died. His death Wan doubtless caused by the blows he received at Reed's hands. Chester Reporter: On last Thursday, 1st instant, James Neely, colored, in the employ of Mr. A. F. Hoopaw, in the Lewisville neigborhood, was returniug home from his plough, when his mule began to run and became unmanagea? ble. Neely's foot became entangled in the chains of the gearing, and he was dragged about four hundred yards over a rugged road, the mule running at a frightful speed. His bead and portions of his body Were horribly bruised. He was taken up in insensible condition, and died on Friday night.In the month of April there were shipped from Chester Railroad depot 1,008 bales of cotton. Total shipments since 1st September, 18,762 bales. Edgefield Monitor: A convict at work on the Edgefield and Trenton Railroad escaped one day last veek..t??lMr< Hen? ry King, who lives in the neighborhood of Ninety-Six recently sold twenty lambs in Augusta at three dollars each. Lancaster Ledger: Some villain, to gratify a malicious feeling, drove off a work ox belonging to David Dye, color? ed Democrat, one day last week, and cut the throat of the ox, completely severing the windpipe. There is very little doubt but that it was done because Dave bad been acting with the whites.On Fri? day, the 25th ult., a little negro child, about two years old, on the farm of Mr. W. T. Pettis, was burned to death while its parents were at work in the field. Mrs. 0. L. Ross lost a fine mule on the 26th ult. The disease is unknown, but thought by some to be blind staggers. This makes the third animal that Mrs. R. has lost within eleven months, having lost two horses previously Keoxoec ( Walhalla) Courier: The cata? logue of Newberry College for 1879 car? ries on its pages a total of seventy-six students?large and small.As a gen? eral rule, the wheat, and other small grain crops are promising. The weather has been favorable of wheat though rather dry for spring oats,.....There has been sold at Westminster, Walhalla and Seneca about 1,100 tons of guano this season, indicating that 14,000 acres have been put in cotton. If it yields 200 pounds per acre, and no doubt it will, that would be 2.200,000 pounds, worth $220,000. Take the cost of the guano off, say $61,700, leaves $168,300 clear. Pickens Sentinel: The revenue officials are now operating in Anderson County, and have brought up several citizens of that county to this place for trial. All the charges, wo believe, are for retailing contrary to law.There was considera able frost in this couuty on the morning of the 3d instant, doing some damage to cotton and garden vegetables. Mr. T. L. Robertson, on Twelve Mile River, had about thirty acres of cotton so badly in? jured that he replanted it. York Enquirer: There is no doubt but nearly, if not all the fruit in this section was killed by the frosts. There was heavy frost last Friday morning, which cut the growing corn down to the ground. Cotton is beginning to come up, and excepting in a few localities, es? caped the frost. We have heard of some early planted cotton that was up suffi? ciently to be injured. Generally, the cotton crop in the county is promising. Wheat is also promising at this time, having been but slighrly injured by the frost. Abbeville Press and Banner: Last Monday morning Mr..Robert Brownlee, of Donaldsville, fell dead, aged about 67 years.Clerk Zeigler reports to us that he has recorded 2,200 liens this year, against 2,100 last year.Mr. Irwin Hutchinson is now operating at Dorn's Mine, with rasonable success. He ex? hibited here on saleday a nugget of gold weighing fourteen pennyweight. He works on the Nevada plan of "sluicing." .Several slight frosts fell during the past week, but with little or no damage to vegetation. The weather so far has been much too unseasonable for health or farming. Abbeville Medium: Cade's store, on the Savannah side, was entered last Sun? day night by some unknown parties, supposed to be an organized gang of ne? gro burglars who have been committing depredations in that section for some time. The entrance was made by tuu nelliug though the hearth. A quantity of sugar, box of tobacco and a lot of cloth, amounting to forty or fifty dollars in value, were taken by the thieves. On the preceding Sunday night an attempt was made to enter Mathis's store at Lethe, but did not succeed. Fairfield News and Herald: A meeting was held in the Court House on Monday, under the auspices of Mr. J. Heudrix McLean and Dr. V. P. Clayton, in the interest of the National Greenback La? bor Reform party. There were about forty white persons present, and about one-third of that number of negroes. An address was delivered by the Rev. D. B. Clayton, of the Universalist denomi? nation* a resident of Columbia. In re? ply, Mr. Jno. H. Cathcart made a few opposition remarks, after which the meeting came to an end. ? Once on a time a stammering candi? date for the Legislature asked a friend to write him a circular. "What shall I write?" inquired the friend. "I want you to begin by saying that all my ene? mies arc a set of infernal rascals, and every line get stronger and stronger," was the reply. The Chicago Tribune of last Saturday seems to have been inspired by similar feelings toward Judge Davis. We have seldom read an article so bitter upon a public man. The very first sen? tence is in these words: "David Davis is an impostor and a fraud." It declares that his presence in the Senate from the State of Illinois "is a shame and a hu? miliation." Says that Mr. Lincoln "in an hour of weakness elevated him to the highest office in his gift, that of Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States," where;"hecutbutasorry figure," and where "he disgusted his colleagues on the bench." It is not necessary to make further quotations in order to show its vengeful character. The Inter-Ocean could not have written one more unjust. It is unjust to Judge Davis and unjust to the writer. It proves conclusively to our mind that the speech which evoked it has pierced the Radical heart to the quick. Our respected cotempoary can not coun? teract its influence in Illinois by such vi? tuperation. No gentleman stands higher than Judge Davis in that State as an up? right citizen. ? The Radical theory is, if we arc to judge from the tone and declarations of Radical speakers, that the people are not capable of self government, especially on election days. Then soldiers must be called in to keep them from adopting crooked ways. ? The Legislature of New Hampshire, nt its meeting in June, will elect a United States Senator. Wm. E. Chandler is a candidate, and rumor gives him a good deal of strength. His soundness of Rad? ical faith is beyond controversy. That was tested down in Florida. ? The head of Fred Douglass seems to be pretty level. This is what he said in a recent lecture: "It is a mistake for the negro to move North; one of tho most unfortunate predicament" that can be imagined is a negro in a snow-bank ; it don't look right; the color.-, don't blend harmoniously," -~ Gen.

The time was when the South was misrepresented in Congress by a solid delegation of Radicals, and scarcely an honest, competent man could be found among them. Then all Was lovely. Hut, when intelligence and respecinlJilty ob? tained the ascendancy, what a howl was heard all along the Radical line. ? Mr. Hayes is not without that frail? ty common to humanity, viz: a high ap? preciation of his own capacities, some? times called self-conceit. Mr. Hayes had and perhaps has not now any intention to run for a second term, bnt it is inti? mated that he would just like to have the people to vote their confirmation of his course and of his title to the office. It is for that (and for no other reason I) he could bc.pitrsiiaded nefhnp.s tu accept the nomination in iSSO. Many others are afflicted in the same way ! ? In case Sherman is nominated by the Republicans of Ohio for Governor, Thurman or Ewing will be the nominee of the Democratic party. As the State goes for Governor so it is supposed it will go for President. It will be a fight for a commanding position in the great con? test in 1880. Neither party can afford to lose Ohio. i n i rirrw^nii" mi iiV i A Physician of Thirty Ycnrs. Williston, Barnwf.ll Co., S. C. March 27, 1879. Major R. il.
