R. 15. MUKRAV, ?k?ifc,.. THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 20, WO. L . . --?mmmM--q*? We wonder how many Son theM fttatos nicn would bo willing to Iravel around tho cirooit willi MK Hayes now and stand sponsor for his integrity of purpose and justrrow lo the .South. Times, how ever, change mid men with them. Editora and publishers in ?South Caro lina should not fail to attend thc State I Press Association meeting in Spartan- j burg on the lilli of .lune next. In nd ?lilion to thc social features of thc meet ing, thc members will be offered very fine excursions over the Air Line and Spartauburg <fe Asheville railroads. It is rumored thnt thc President wns jolt into his vetoing mood hy thc promise on the part of tlic Republicans that he shall bc renominated (or President next year. He must have hud soma very Klroug inducement offered to make him place himself in such untenable posi tions, and to show his own inconsistency so clearly. Mr. Hayes has appointed Hon. (?eorge W. McCrnry, his Secrctr-ry of War. to a vacant Circuit Judgeship out West, ami Mr. McCrary linn accepted. He consid ers a salary of six thousand dollars a year for lifo better than one of eight thousand a year until Mr. Hayes' term ends, with Ihc chances of having lo turn thc war office over to some Democrat at that time, lie is a wise mau. Mr. Hayes does not want another term us President his friends say, but if the country demands his servi es again, in order to express the approoatinn of the American people of his course on the veto, bc would consider it his duty lo make thc sacrifice. The country ought certainly to bc cafe when it has sn many distinguished citizens willing to sacrifice their individual In'.crestH for their coun try. ^ lien. J. Z. (Jcorge, who has brm re cently elected Chief Justice of Missis sippi, was chairman of the Democratic Executive C?>niniiltce of that State at thc time of it? redemption from ralical ism, mid was thc originator and organ iser of tho teystem of campaign which lias gone into political history as the "Mississippi Pinn." Cen. (Icorgo is a mau of fine abilities, and is said to pos Hc-s rare Attainments aa a lawyer. Wc are pleased to note ti c fact thu? Hon. J. C. Sheppard, Speak*? of thc House of Representatives of this State, was married on last Thursday evening to Miss Helen Wallnce, daughter of Judge Wm. H. Wallace, of Union. Mr. Shep pard hos achieved great distinction for a man of his ycurs, as n lawyer and r-.s a politician, but wc arc suro hy will estimate his matrimonial success as thc moat fortunate and important one of bia life. Wc wish him and his n long, hap py and prosperous life. Tho Grand Jury of WilkeH County, Georgia, recommends to tho Legislature thc passage of a iaw requiring magis trates to pass an examination aa to fit ness before receiving an appointment, in order that none but suitable and compe tent men may bc appointed to this im portant office, which is too often filled hy men totally unfit for tho position. The idea is not a bad ons hy any menus, and its application to other States than Georgia would, to say tho leaat of it, not injure the public service. If tho Democrats have back-bono enough to ..aintain tho interests of the country, thero need bo no fears of being outed, for they have tho House for two years longer, and thc Scunto is safe for at least six years. Hence tho starve-out policy would bc a very formidable one. Thc radicals are not apt to advise tho Democrats to a course to help us, and yet thero aro hundreds of sensiblo Dem ocrats who advocate passing tho appro priation bills, when that ia exactly what every Republican paper ia advising them to do. The New York Herald is very caustic upon the courue of Speaker Randall in opposing the appropriation bills, and advises the Den . jrata to adjourn, in spite cf tho Speaker's views, beforo tho first of June. Tho condemnation of thc Herald originate.! in tho fact that Mr. Randall is what it is pleased to term a "last-ditcher," meaning that he is in fa vor of fighting the radicals to tho very last on the appropriations. Speaker Randall is an accomplished politician, and it would not ba unsafe to follow him in this matter. He realizes tho fact that all tho barm that can bo dono the De mocracy has boen dono hy having thc extra session, and now we want a victory over radical obst'nacy in order to regain what we have lost. Tho Herald would be a very dangerous adviser for tho De mocracy, as it has no principles, and would therefore, if in earnest, ho more apt to give bad than good advice. . One of tho most strikingly pointed spccchcb of tho Senatorial session lina been that of Senator Vance, of North Carolina, who bummed Ut) th:- 1? '.' mil .1 i.vi n doctrine of elections in this country as fallows : "Elections shall bo free, if wo havo to surround the polls with bayonets. They shall bo according to State laws, if we have to overawe the civil authorities by force to have our way. They shall be pore, if it take? John Davenport and every criminal in our cities to give them purity. They ?ball be conducted with out tho appearance cf, violence, if artil lery has to bo trained on every ballot box ; and they shall be fair, if we have - to arrest every man offering to vote thc Democratic ticket. Unless wo can use tho army at the polls to count in the next President, we will abandon tho de fense of the country." The wit and force of ibo ex-Governor of the old North State is destined to make him a prominent and useful member of tho Senate. Ho is a wise, prudent and strong man, an eloquent debater and ready speaker, who will give tc th* Ben ate an original and earnest stylo cf dis cussion, which will secure attention from all parties, and cause men to think over tho true issues presented. We wish eve ry Southern Stat? had such Representa tives ni Vance in both the ffonae and .llO Sel!."itC, Qencra! Sheridan in nul pleased wilh tito Uniled Stales Court decision with reference to thc rights of Indians in thc case of "Standing f*ear ' and party. His Optafott Wf it In thal it is absind and honacHsicn), and he announ ces tliAt itu will not obey it until sus tained by the Supreme Court. It is not expected that General .Sheridan knows much about law, and therefor?: ids esti mate of thc decision will hot shake the confidence of any T>f ivs advocates in thc correctness of the principles it enunci ates. Neither ia thedeclaratioi of (len. Sheridan that ho will not obey it at all surprising or inconsistent. He is a Re publican, and as thal party is a lawless party, he is perfectly consistent in re fusing to obey law, and deciding for himself whether thc Coli rt* expound thc Constitution And acts of Congress cor rectly. U would not be worth while for tho Republican party to adv?cate a strong government if its members 'lid not prove their faith by theil works. Gen. Sheridan in his position shows Hie country what thu true attitude of thc radical party is. It proposes to make the military superior to the judiciary. An interesting "iiit has jn-t terminated in Virginia in Which thc United States was plaintiff and cx-Gov. Wm. Smith, ol Virginia, was defendant. The subject matter of thc snit grew out of the pay ment of Gov. South's salary of lire thou sand dollars for one year, in advance, in gold, in 1805, before the time when the Union army captured Richmond and th? effects of the 'state government. It wa? contended for tho United Stales that thc gold wan the property of the Insurgeai Slate of Virginia, and that Gov. Smill had no rightful authority to perform th< functions of Governor alter the over throw ol such government, and havini no authority to act in such capacity In was not entitled to receive any compen sation therefor, and should refund tin overplus of the payment made him t< the United States ;:s thc conqueror of th< insurgent State to which the gobi be longed. This was a test cure, ntid if tin government succeeded all of the officer of tho government of Virginia in 18CI would have been proceeded against. A thc conclusion of thc testimony, Judgi Hughes charged thc jury to the cITcc that if they believed from thc evidenc thal thc defendant was defacto Goveriio of tho de facto government of Virginia which held authority in ibo State fo some lime previous to April, 1805, am that he was acting in performance nf hi duties as sucli Governor on thu 'Jd u April, 18(1'), when he received the liv thousand dollars in gold which is th subject of th'! suit, it was defendant' duty after thal date, as Governor, to con tinue the performance of his duties ove the territory of Virginia for the neee. snry purposes of civil government, t wu: preservation of life and property peace and order and the due administra lion of the laws of civil society unti such territory as he Was in at any tim fell under thu sway of tho conqucrin power, lo wit : on thc ninth day of .May 1805, provided ht! gave no aid in doin so to tho enemies of the Knited State after t'ue ninth of April, 18115. The jur wns further instructed that for so long lime ns the defendant wan engaged r above described, bc was entitled to a pr rata allowance of salary, and is also ct titled to such proper disbursements as h made during said period of such servia all to bo credited upon the amount sue for. Tho jury brought in a verdict fi thc defendant. A motion for a new trii in tho case lins been noted, und it will I: taken to tho Supremo Court of the Un ted States, which will doubtless sustai the finding below. Judge Hughes not making much reputation as a Judi: among thc bloody shirt Radicals, bi nevertheless tho country will very soo learn, if it has not already discovered th fact, that ho is a very able ami in partial Judge. A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. Thc subjoined letter of Secretary She ninn is said to hav; been written lo prominent war Democrat of New Yorl and HIIOWS clearly that ho has presidei tial aspirations, and thinks that bc wi bc able to poll a considerable vote, eve among the Democrats. The S?cr?tai says: "TREASURY DEPARTMENT, 1 "WABHINIITON, May 10, 187!?. j "DKAlt Stn-Your personal letter 1 tho 6th is received. 1 assure you thu though very much hurried while I was i Now York, I would have made an a\ pointment of time nnd placo to seo yo out thero was no nddress upon your cai and I did not know where to send yt word. "The movement to start mc os u cami dato for Governor of Ohio was mere sensational, and while it would have bet very heartily responded to in Ohio ai no doubt would be successful in tho sen that I could be elected Governor, would clearly be wrong for mo to ente tain it. So many persons nre in teres t< in tho continued success of refundir and resumption that it would seem lil a desertion of a public duty, mid I wou never bo forgiven if any hindram should occur in tho way of either. "What I would aspire to in case pu lie opinion should decide to make mo candidato for President would bc to uni In co-operation with tho Republic; party all tho national clements of tl country that contributed to or aided wy way in tho successful vindication national authority during tho war. would do this, not for tho purpose of ?ri luting the South or oppressing them any way, but to assert and maintain tl supremacy of national authoritv to tl full extent of all tho powers conferred 1 the constitution. This, as I understai it, ?B the Jacksonian as well as the R publican view of national powers. lt . * * . * * "You seo my general ideas would lei mo to lean greatly upon the war Dcm crats and soldiers in tho service who ha been influenced by political! events sin the war to withhold support from tl Republican party. "The truo issue for 1880 is nation uiprcmacy in national matters, hon? money and an honest dollar. Very truly, yours, JOHN SHERMAN. Thus ho has declined the nominati for Governor of Ohio, which he thin ivas in his reach, and which other peor bink waa not, because ho wishes a beti ilace. As Governor of Ohio Iiis chane vould not be any belter for Preside han they uro as Secretary ri tho Trei irv, ami therefore he yt-.^oscs to he ils present position rather than run I isle of getting tabled by being defeat n tho gubernatorial race. His pl at fori ts announced In this letter, will be 1 hat the Republicans desire. Ile is ii arti motley, gold basis man, favors a j r strong government/, and thc protection of ? ?ht- ?Var tiiCflsltri". Taken all together, : Hore are but two obstacles in hi? rond lo i the 1'residcncy. The first is thal he can not get the Republican nomination, and the second i? that lie could liol gel votes enough tu elect lum SI he was nominated, j In consequence of the*?- difficulties, wc have arrived ??' tuts conclusion that the Hon ..'chu sherman will not bc the next President. FISH IN SAVANNAH UIVER. For thc pn-t two or three years there has been a very great ...arclty nf lish in the Havannah Uiver and its tributaries, alni almost no shad at all, which linn been attributed to the canal dam near Augusta, <?a., and bas been the occasion of very general noinphlilllfl oil thc part of citizens of the Savannah valley In both Oe orgia and South Carolin?! Tho mat ter li now attracting very warm and earnest attention from our Georgia friends, who are calling on the Legisla ture of that State for an examination and action. The last issue of the Elber ton (fitiffle says : Without a practical knowledge of the facts complained of, we know this much : That if the obstructions nt Augustaare what they <ir.< claimed to be, thc General Assembly is vested with ample authority to remove the cause of complaint. Not (tidy is this true, but it is a duty which every Representative in our Legislature fioin this entire section of Georgia owes to his constituents to (Irmly nml unyield ingly advocate and secure stich investi gation into the matter as would leave no d mitt remaining ns to the truth or falsity of thc complaint, and govern their future action accordingly. In the meantime we exhort the people interested throughout this section of the State lo keep this question in constant agitation until it shall become of such importance as shall prevent it* being ignored by our law makers in the future. The ('lu unit lr nml ( hnxfilnlioiKilii'l ad mits that there is every reason to believe that few shad can pas* the dam at Au gusta, but vindicates thc action of the Canal Company in thus closing up the River on the ground thal they had the right to do so under the law, ami gives to the Canal Company the following whole some advice, which they will probably find il tn their advantage to adopt and carry out : "In our opinion the propel course for the City Council to pursue is to investigate the charge made by tht citizens of thc river counties, and, il found true, to remedy the mischief ns fal as it is in their power to do so." The Mayor rd' Augusta claims thal there are live openings in the dam, each twenty feet wide, and that the scarcity ol shad is not caused by the dam, bul by : failure of the supply. This might have some weight if there was the failure else where, but, despite the Mayor's assertion there have been a great many shad it other no more favored waters than tin Savannah, while il has had comparative ly none. There room for thc com plaint, and something should be dom about it. If the State of Georgia doe: not remedy this matter, then we thin! the Legislature of South Carolinashouh investigate tho charter granted by ott Legislature, in the days of Radicalism under which the abutment of thc dan was constructed on this side of thc River We want more fish in this part of tin State, and will join our Georgia conten? poraries in calling for a remodelling o tho dani at Augusta, so as to "ive th shad and other fish a freer course up th River. It is the duty of the Legislatur of each State to enact such addilionn legislation as may be necessary to ope np this and all other large streams to th migration of the finny tribe. AN IMPORTANT MEASURE. The Warner Silver Rill has been past cd by a vote of 1 l-l lo '.Kl in the Hons of Representatives, with the provision of which thc following syn.?psis is fm nished by a telegram from Washington "lt fixes the weight of the standar silver dollar at -112j grains; authorize owners of silver bullion to deposi the same at any mint to be forme into bars or standard dollars ; make charges tor coin.no- such bullion the dil ference between i .> i nrket value in Nc York and the l? gi.i lender value of tb coin ; makes subsidiary silver coin en changeable at the treasury for legal let der money to the amount of twenty do lars; makes standard sil vcr dollars legi tender in all payments at their nomin value; requires thc treasury to pay ot silver coin without discrimination, th same as gold coin, in liquidation of a kinds of coin obligations against th government; authorizes thc issue < certificates to depositors of gold ( silver coin or bullion ; also authni izes the issue of certificates repn seuting coin in the treasury in pa* ment of interest on the public debt beth classes of certificates to be receivi hie in payment of duties on imparti certificates for bullion deposited are I bo for its average market value in cohn like metal during the preceding week i New York and San Francisco; gold an silver bullion deposited is to be coinc to the full capacity of the minta in cot nectiou with other coinage, and if tl bullion deposited for coinage docs o amount to $20,000,nOQ per month tl treasury is to purchase sufficient siivi bullion to coin to that amount. The a is not to be construed as authorizing tl coinage of silver except into the silv dollar. Tho advocates of thu gold stamin opposed this bill with all their migl and it will require a lengthy debate tho Senate to secure a vote on it thei after which, if it should pass, it is mo than likely mat it will bc vetoed by t! President, who is known to bo control! very largely by tho largo banking int< esta of tho commercial centres. Nc that thc bill making tho silver dollai legal tender has passed, the opponents tho measure aro seeking practically avoid its force by a failure lo coin it, a unless some similar legislation as th sketched above in enacted, the ill elTci nf a premature and forced resumpti will yet bo very disastrous to all exe? the banking interests of the whole con try. Thc bill ns above passed is 01 liable to ono objection that wo can p ciove, which is that under tho gene privileges it confers foreigners m ip drain the country of gold hy a gene deposit of silver bullion. This, howev might easily bo remedied by an amei mont, which wo hope tho Senate ? in.--.crt, prohibiting foreigners from ( tinning tho privilege/, the bill confe Then if tho gold in circulation should larried out of the country it would becnuso the advantages of trade make expedient for American importers to p ?a gold. By adopting tho silver standi ire ensure a fixed and steady value ?ur currency, and at thc ?ame lime pru ride H m?dium of exchange, which h ?uflicicnlly abundant to prevent jobber* md speculator? from oppressing the pen ile hy manipulation* nf it* value Dunc who licslfe ld maintain thc re ittmpticV of "pian payments with the futuro advantages il ii to bestow, will ind it nece<i?ary tu adopt some such ichemc as that given above, for it* they lo not the popular erv against resump tion and the troubles that will ensue will be so great, and the influence of the peo ple so powerful, that rcfUmptlott will be endangered il tint repealed. The pro visions of the above hill are calculated to reach the necessities of the ease with out injury to thc rights of any class of mir citizens. The New York Itvr?M i* Urging the ?"'Hither!! Democrats to force lint passage nf thc appropriation hills and au ad journment of Congress on Hie ground that the South is held responsible for the proceedings of Congress, and, further, to dlOW that there is no truth in thc rumor that the South wants to star.i the army >Hii i rs into resignation in order to fill their places willi ex-Coufwlcratc briga diers. This is an insult to the South conveyed in the form of friendly advice, l'he Herald knows too well that tlu pri sent conflict is one of constitution ami law against Usurpation am' force, whicl threatens the very foundations of oui national government The Knuth is in i large measure responsible for the eoursi of the Democratic party, but as long a thal course is one in support of law am free government, there is no reason to lu either ashamed or afraid of that respoti jilily. Whenever the Republican have been driven into a corner they hav shouted the South is responsible, am timid CougrcHS'iien from this section hav invariably beaten a hasty retreat, an yielded the advantage within their gras if they had only possessed nerve enoug to press on to take it. We think th Herald'* advice to the South tn bac duwil is not good advice. We have a ready hacked out two or three times, an the Republicans will continue to use th charge as long as the South submits I be coerced by it. The South did tn bring on these complications. The figl is one in the interest of the liberties i the whole country, ami therefore, win we do not think the South should be ai live in the mutter of resisting thc appn priations, yet we are equally of opinic that we should not force the Northei lind Western Democrats into another r treat as disastrous as thc one we ilroi lliein into in the last Presidential conte hy advocating the compromise. W should let the North and West settle tl predicament the party is in. They pr duced it, and they tdiould he required work it ?>nt. If they can alford to stai up to their undertaking we can alford stallt! up to them, and should do it. Tl continued talk about the Northern Dei icrats being untrue to thc South may i to frighten off weak Southern Democrat but il will not in the opinion of our pc pie justify us in pursuing such a cour ?s will give thc Republicans the vania ?round. We are inti/ the trouble, ai lithoiigh we may have been injudicio in beginning it. there is no room to tu liaek. The measures proposed are go Tor the whole country, and should hep? 'coted. It has come to a pitched bat between Radicalism, and on the result this fight will turn thc next electii We must win or lose all hope of the ne Presidency, and therefore we should, Mr. KdmUnda would say, have it out lu md now. If Southern Congressmen w istcn to Democratic papers they will ii better business than being frighten ly Radical organs.

Thc crops are reported to be very promising, but thc grass is also growing rapidly. A SKETCH ol' CoNKMXC.-Col. James 1?. Randall, the poet-editor-the author of "Maryland, My Maryland," and now a member of the staff of the Augusta M?a.) Chronicle and Coiwtittdionalud-is in Washington at present as staff correspon dent of his paper, and is writing from the national capital some remarkably in teresting letters. In ofic of the latest of these he pictures the leading New York Senator, and does it so interestingly that we reproduce part of his sketch as fol lows : "I had never before heard Mr. Conk ling in a set speech, and il must he con ceded that he is a must formidable ad versary. Had he gone upon the stage, John McCullough would have had to take a hack seat. Had he studied for the ministry, Mr. Beecher would have had a bani struggle for supremacy in pulpit oratory. He is a large man, eminently handsome and distinguished looking. Nothing cnn cXcccd thc awkwardness of his walk. Carpet-bag Spencer used to call it "gandering." This is not perceived when he is speak ing from his place, for as his voice is modulated with astonishing skill and is of the noblest compass, so his gestures arc the perfection of art. His language is precise and dramatic, as if intended for an essay in Blackwood. I think it is loo stilted and ornate. He rose to something akin to the sublime when he turned upon Voorhces, to rend him, but suddenly dropped into pathos, and, in mining phrase, "petered out" into an arid legal analysis that seemed to be mofe fur the purpose ot consuming time and staving off '"thc Tall Sycamore of the Wabash" than anything else. Mut Mr. ('tinkling is a dangerous foctnan, and the Democrat who encounters him should be armed :>t all points, master of himself and his subject, and as eloquent as wise. Of all the Democratic Senators, Mr. Hill is the one best fitted for battle with bim, and I think the Georgian is the one man more particularly that this extraor dinary man is nut anxious to provoke." TUB ExoPCS.-At the meeting of the t ?rand Lodge of flood Templars (colored ; in Greenville the following resolutions were adopted : Whereas the subject of emigration from these Southern States of thc Amer ican Union on the part of the colored citizens, is one of grave imp ?rt ami vi tally affecting their dearest interests. And whereas this question deserves the earnest consideration of this Grand I.ridge of Hood Templars, inasmuch a* said society is composed of this element of onpulntion, who are fully acquainted with and suffering in common with their brett->vn in all these Southern States of thc Union the privations complained of. Therefor", with an abiding confidence in thc justice of Almighty Cod, in whose hands are the destinies of nations, and in firm reliance on the wisdom of His right eous providence, and in perfect sympathy with our brethren, we desire to proclaim the following : Iie*t>lvedt That it is the sense of this (??rand Lodge of Good Templars, in ses sion assembled, that a hasty migration on thc part of the colored population of this State nt this juncture is both inju dicious and unwise.
