THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 18, 1879. Senator Bayard la the coming man. The 8teamer Falcon, en route from Balti more to Charleston, vas run into by a ship on lost Saturday and sunk. No lives were lost, but her cargo was of course ruined. Several of tho Andorson merchants had freight upon hor. Tho difference between tho Democratic and Republican parties ls, that tho Dem ocrats aro cont lui tally doing foolish things, bat corr mit no eil m OB, whilo tho Republicans) ?re guilty of countless crimea, but commit no foolish mistakes. The result is that tho party of sbrowd knaves la lard to defeat. It ls generally concodod that Gon. Gar field will be elected to tho United States Senate In tho place of Judgo Thurman. Garfield Vas a majority of the Republi cans of the legislature pledged to him, and, as tho selection will no donbt be made by caucus, be is reasonably sore of tho election. Thus anotbor stalwart will .bo added to tho Souato. Tho Tilden boom .as subsided, and bis name will henceforth havo no strength In tho nomination of national candidates. The Democratic party of tho State of Now York bas decided tho question against bim, and ho will in future rank as the embodiment of what might have been. His influonco reached its maximum when ho ?Neurod tho Presidential nomi nation last year, since which time it has been waning, and will Boon totally dis appear. Tho election in Now York was not such a shower for tho RopublLans af ter all. Thoy bavo eloctod their Gover nor by a plnratlty of 30,000 votes, but Kelley, the bolting candidate, received over 09,000 votes, showing a majority of over 80,000 Domooratlo votos in the Slate. Potter, the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, is olocted by about 2,000 majority. Tho Emplro Stato will go D?mocratie noxt year if wo hsvo a good nominee for President. Mr. Bay ard is tho proper man It is otatcd that Sonator^Thurman has boen urged to settle in Missouri for tho purpose or running for tho United States Soneto at tho expiration of his prosont term in 1881, and that should bo consont to do so his election is sure. It ls not probable that tho Ohio Senator would consent to becomo anything like a car pet-bagger, but if bo should decido to sottle in Missouri, and Bhould bo sont to the Senate from that State, it would bo n decided gain for the Senate and tho party. We wish all of the Southern States could send one good reliable Union Democrat to tho Senate. It would holp ns very much, indeed. Some of our exchanges suggest that the next Democratic tick ot Bhould bo Gen. Hancock, of Pennsylvania, for Pres ident, and John Quincy Adams, of Mas sachusetts, for Vico-Prostdont, and claim that if they woro nominated the Democ racy would carry Pennsylvania and Mas sachusetts. Wo do not ngreo with tboso conclusions, howovor, for In the lato elec tion in Massachusetts, Mr. Long, tho Re publican candidato for Governor, in round numbers, received 122,000 votes; B. F. (Spoon) Butler, tho conglomerate candidate, 109,000, and Mr. Adams only 19,000. That does not look much Uko carrying Massachusetts for tho Demo crats. Tho law ba Connecticut makes the hus band Hablo for tho wifo's dobbs contract ed before marriage, but that docs not work a very great, hardship to tho mon who live in tho land of woodon nutmegs, for a Hartford man, who hed arranged matrimonial matters satisfactorily with an insolvent widow, took tho procaution before allowing tho engagement to Do como public to go around and buy up all of the claims against bar at twenty coats c.". tho dollar, and when be obtained pos session of ail of thom he proceeded to marry ber. We havo hoard of a greal many huslness-llko transactions con ?eeteu with matrimony, but this strikes, us as the coolest and most deliberate. Tho vonerablo Rov. Lovick Pierce, D. D., perhaps tho most noted of tho old Methodist ministers of the. State of Georgia, died at bia homo in Sparta on last Monday, in tho ninety-fifth year bf bis ago. Ho was at ono time pastor of tho Washington Street Mothodist Church In Columbia, and was the rather of Bishop Goorgo F. Pierce. He was an able minister, and was universally he lovod and respected both within and without his own denomination. At tho 11 ; time of bbs doath ho is believed to have ' been tho oldest Mothodist minister In tho ' world. His decease will bc regretted wherever he was known, fer his useful ness baa boen groat and his character waa nure and lovable. -, - It was suggested to Hon. Horatio Sey mour ? few days ago that perhaps the Democratic party in Its present straits would nominate him for tho Presldonoy tn 1880, and, In responso to the sugges tion, the sago of Oneida ropl?e? ; "I have an Idea tbat the sentiment and wishes of both tho rycMtlcal parties turn to younger and moro vigorous mon, and ali I ask now ls to bo loft in peace." If Hon. : Samuel Jones Tilden could ho induced to reason as Impartially with himself, it would bo boiter for tho DemocratW partyi and. ibo result would bo loss mortifying to him than it will otherwise be. Mr. Tildcn's day bas passed, and be bas al lowed bis Opportunity; to pass unim proved. He should now bo content to . YftiirA t?? Tir\vnA/k Ilia IA m^l-n. ... . ?? .

Cleo- ' patraV. needle. Jost beforo it was about to be moved, some of the Egyptian cred itors had it ievlod upon for their debts, . and thus caused tho parties trying to re move it ?orno inconvenience. ? Tho levies I wore, howevor, disposed of iii somo way, uni} i.*ixu\ tba iiifrfirv'itlv />f YS?kes carno ? n to provout further lo vies, which wm? ottVwjSually dono hy hoisting,* the United States ?ag from the obelisk, thus claiming it as American property, and announcing to tho world that lt ls*under Amerlijan protection, so that be. who levies on it in future will immlk thia groat nation, and briof down upon bim tho vengeance of onr.wholo army and navy. idd that the obelisk will io further levies to pro Carllslo, of Kentucky, Up with vv? diacovory ats mado a mistake In > a State, for it has al ilicsii, and thinks-they ut?t?od in Its place Utah, %r w?cted a Democrat to oug Will Cougrcss. A bottor thing for tho Demo crats to havo done would have been to admit neither, for without tho voto of Colorado Mr, Hayes oould not havo been President at this timo. It will be ro mombored that Hayes only recelvod 185 votes to Tllden's 184, ofter giving Uio Re publicans 10 votes from Mouth Carolina, Louisiana and Floride, which ihoy did not receive. If the three votes cf Colo rado had .lot boon admitted, tito voto would bavo stood, Tilden 181 and HayoH 181', so that thoro would have boen no chanco to steal Ute Presidency for the Republicans, oven with tho help of an electoral rjmuiisslon. Tho titrait to which tho Republicans havo been reduced lu the late elections may bo inforrod from tho fact that in 1878 President Hayes and oil of his Cabi net refusod to nioddlo with elections un der tho famous civil servico rulo laid down to deceive tho country, and whon Mr. Shortnan was nuked to apoak In Ohio in tho canvass o' that year in April, ho said : "It would bo better that as an offi cer of the United .-States i should not per sonally participate in tho direction of tho campaign." In 1S70 tho whole Adminis tration, from tho President down, took tho stump, and all of Mr. Sherman's ideas of tho duties of officers of tho United States woro completely dissipated, so that ho himself took part in the canvass of Maino, Ohio and Nev/ York. Not only this, but Mr. Evat ts, who uetually forced tb? rejection of Mr. Cornoll os naval ofll cor on tho ground that ho was unwor thy of that trust, took part in trying to j got tho pooplo of Now York lo elect him governor. If this JineonslHt?n?y does not attract attention and awaken dia gust In tho independent velors of the country it will show a vory degcuorate condition of public opinion. Tho D?mocrate of Routh Carolina should remember ihat the election of a Republican in Now York is duo ton split In tho Domocratlo pnrty. Thoso who seek to divido us in this State will justas suroly lead us back into tho Radical camp, and thoreforo all good cltzons ought to put their foot squarely upon any independenti'.ni or other move which looks to a division in tho party. What ever evils exlat either In the State or in tho counties can bo corrected as easily in tho Domocratlo party as In tho Republi can, and It Is tho duty of our pooplo to quit talking about voting against tho D?mocratie party because certain things do not please them. If vre had the Re publican party in powor tboro would bo oven moro things that would displease us. Let all of our fights bo strictly with in our own party, and all of us unite to cruBh Republicanism in ovory form it may assume, for it is our enemy and tho enemy of our country. Remember that wo aro only paying ono-thlrd of tho taxes which wo paid In tho days of Radicalism. Thia Bhould causo us to hcsltato before wo do anything to weaken tho Domou raoy, oithor by word or by deed. Tho Now York Herald began tho report 11 eomo wcoku ago that o movement was j I organizing throughout tho South to norn inato Grant for a third term as tho South ern candidato for President, and that prominent Southern politicians aro on gincorlngit. To this rumor tho Southern j pross baa uniformly expressed doeided i opposition, and tho only two Southern ? mon Who havo In a measure- endorsed lt . , are Mossrs. Toomba nnd Stephens, ot j H Georgia. Mr. Toomba In represented ns | i favoring a Dotnocrut if ho can got his choice, but as preferring < ? rant to Tild?n, j while Mr. Stephens ho? boon interviewed t by a correspondent of tho Nara and Cou- t Her, and simply says at present that In J? his opinion "tho South might go a great deal furthor and faro worse." Wo are surprised to soo men who have any prc- 1 tensions to Democracy or loyalty to tho * National Constitution taking such x equivocal positions on such an Important 1! question.

His pockets were turned lusldo out, and eue of tho button holes of bis vest was torn as if his watch chain had been rudely snatched away. A police officer wont to tho train on which tho circus company had taken passage for Columbia, and roqucstod tho conductor to walt until tho Sheriff and his officers .could come and search tho train for tho person who bad done tho killing. Tho conductor waited as long aa ho thought hlmsolf '.uihorlzed in do ing, and thon brought his tndu away be fore tho Sheriff arrived. Later accounts from Nowborry say .that tho man whoso dead body- was found, as above stated, waa that of a Mr. Munro, of Laurens, and that he waa robbed of $25, a watch and ring. A. blow on th a bat* of the hoad hi reported to. bo tho ??uso of his death.-Columbia Register, 9th Inst. ?rant Making Wa/ for Blaine* In politics tho latest sensation now la tho ?tory that Oen. Grant will certainly be out of tho Presidential race within thirty days. Whitelaw Held told a friend ot mine os much within a fow days. The Htory that Col. Boott will retire from tho presidency of the Pennsylvania Rail road! and that Grant will take hi? place moy not bavo any truth hi it, but thoro In certainly ?ometliing on foot to ila Grant'a futuro. The report comos that Senator Maine, who has been in Now Yorh, if ho is not thero now, said recent ly that Gun. Grant would be out of tho way in thirty days, and that his (Grant's) courso Would be such that all bis person al and political friends would bo satisfied. This is nows of tho highest importance if it is true. All accounts from Grant agrco that he does not want the ofllce and will not seok lt; also that ho v/ould refuse it i ii tho event that any contest was had In tho Convention. James V. Wilson, for many years a niombor of tho House and who was offered by Gen. Grant tho secretary shin of ?tate oofore Mr. Fish was appoin te?, hos kept up his int i tracy with Grant; Lrji had let'.ern from him. Mr. Wilson ivys that ho knows that Gan. Grant will not accept tho nomination if it comos to him through n contest; that bo does not want tho place, but that if he woro nomi nated with any degree of unanimity ho would fool obliged to accept. Nono can deny that Ibero Will be a "contest" in tho next Republican Convention. Blaine's and .Sherman's friends respectively aro not going to le*. Gen. Grant or anybody clso walk o?r with tho noxt President;.?' nomination without a "contort." Tho friends of both will go into tho conven lion for tho ourposo of kicking up a row to drivo Grant ont. Mr. Wilso/i says that Grant will have friends itt the Con vention who will bo severally instructed to withdraw his name 'n tho evnt of a row, end that they will follow tho in structions. This much must bo said of Grant, he hos not sought tho ofllco. Even his closest frionds can got nothing out-of him with re leren co t > tho SUhJoct moro than tho tact that he is not a candi dato and does not think o' it. With Grant out of tho tied what ls leltr Why, Blaino, of courso. Blaine is strong, for bo ls tho first choice of all those who sup ported him at Cincinnati, and ho ls sec ond choice of all the Grunt mon and all tho Sherman mon. Of courso Grant would rather hnvo Con kling, but thou Conkling is out of the ques tion, and oven a heavy man Uko Grant can see that. Grant and Blaino have novor been particularly friendly in their social intercourse. ] '.hdne disliked Grant, and Grant suspected Blaino. It mny bo different now. for Grant has for friven everybody but Bristow, and Blaine s a mun who cannot trcasuro animosi ties-notwithstanding his attitude toward Conkling, with whom ho has not passed n word for ovor thirteen yours. It would not surpt'so mo at all-indeed I rather look forward to it-if Grunt should koop out of tho Convontlon mid that Blaine should bo nominated. It will certainly bo Blaino or a dark horse. It cannot be Sherman. Conkling nr Washburn, nnd nobody oise has boon suggested of couso quences thus far. GEM. GRANT IN GALENA.-A telegram from Galena, 111., Gon.
