Tho past v eek bas boon one Of great in ternet to tho members of the Legislature, an ? of no little consequence to tho people of tho State. This Legislature will, Uko the one of 1877, have the duty of electing an entirely new Supremo Court. In 1877 Judges Willard, Mciver and Haskell wore elected. On last Thursday, at 1 o'clock p. m., lit? Senate and House m->t in joint assembly to elect an Associate Justice in the place of Judge Haskell, of whoso resignation we wrote last week, and also to elect a Chlor Justios for the term beginning cn dist of July next. The first election held was for tho Asno c?ate Justice, concerning which the most intense Interest and anxiety was felt. The ca* aid?tes wero GcnaralSamuel Mc Gowan, of Abbevillo, sud Judge W. H. Wallace, of Union. The friends of both pertios claimed the election, und tho lobby cf tho House was filled with vis iters, attracted by curiosity to hear sad see th'i result. Tho resolution for the clecllou Was road and nominations called for. Cen. Manigault, of Georgetown, who was a member of the Palmetto Reg iment and with Gen. McGowan in the Mexican war, nominated Gen. McGowan in a brief and olegaut speech, which was seconded by Hon. J. M. Hutaon, of Barn well, a;classmate o? Gen. McGowan in Collego, who concluded hts speech in the following beautiful and just tribute to his candidato: j Ha has illustrated the valor and pa triotism of South Carolina on tho fields of Mexico and Virginia. In tho field and tho forum we have aeon in him tho gal lant and skilful soldlor, and tho learned and successful jurist. Such a man can not fail to make a learned, respected, up right and Impartial Judge. Ir bo is elec ted to this position Carolina will only be discharging a debt that is due, ana In honoring herself. Maj. Meetzo, of Lexington, in an ?lab or?t o eulogy, nominated tho Hon. Wm. Wallace, of Union.' This nomination was seconded by Mr. Dargan, of Sumter, in an. appropriate end pretty speech, ofter . which, a painful sud doeply- exciting silence prevailed daring tho call of tho roll, which was to decido between these two most popular and eminently quali fied gentlemen. At the conclusion of the Senate roll, Judgo Wallace bad 18 votes and Gen. McGowan 12. Tho first cloven , names on the House list voted for Gen. McGowan, and from that point on tho vote was very evenly divided, and at its conclusion tho House vote stood, Judgo Wallace 55, Gen. McGowan 45, giving as tho totals, McGowan 77, Wallace 7-ij McGowan's majority 4, and the election waa declared accordingly. The race had been entirely an honorable one, without ' shy personalities, and loaves no bitter ness. In this vote all of tho. Republicans and o very colored man In the Legisla ture voted against Gen. McGowan. The Judgo qualified on Saturday, end took his aeat upon tho Benoh on Monday. It may bo interesting to our rcadera to state that tho Judge waa very much gratified to hear of tho demonstration in Anderso*? in honor of his election. Every member of tho Benata and House from thc Eighth Judicial Circuit voted for him, except Senator Bradley, from Fiokens, and Rep. reentaiive Cleveland, from Greenville. The joint assembly next went into an election for Chief Jostles, which resulted in tho unanimous election of Judge Mo Iver, a cctr-pilmer:i cf which ho muy well bo proud, fer it proves that his services on the Bench b?vo given him tho confi dence and respect of the Stat? in a mnii marked degree. Tho election created no excitement, and was received as a matter of course. A NEW r.t.r,orxo;r. Judgo Mciver on; : yesterday ?"int In a communication declining to accept tho office of Chief J as tico, on tho ground that ho could riot resign to toko effect next July, and,could not afford to resign now and rerasm without his salary. . He did ! not think lt rltfht to lcavo the Supremo] Court without a judge, from July lo Dc- j comber, and thoforo declined tho high honor that had been void him. Tho Leg islature has fixed on this day for tho elec tion of a Chief Justice ia his stead, and j it i j very, safo to predict ?hat Gov. Simp-j aon v-lU bo elected. TUR OO LUM RI A CANATI is again up for consideration. Tho Canal Commissioners have in^do a contract with Mosern. Thompson avd Nagle, of . Rhodo Island, to develop an immense water power, and erect bandings and machinery to tho valuo of one and a half million dollars. The Bill, os amended principally by Messrs. Murray and Simon ton, gives to this Company the right of way and the privilege of erecting tho data, and two hundred and fifty con victs, who aie. to bo clothed and guarded *?y tho State- for three years, in return for which they oro, in addition to putting up th? factory spoken of, to gtvo to tho Slato perpetually fifteen hundred horso power of water power at tho Penitentiary for ?. manufacturing purposes, which wIU .be worth 8300-OQOL Tbnyaj?lngloj? JJ bend with security to do this work in three years, and, if they do not comply with their contract, they forfeit their ?s?nd and all of their work. Thus It will iso thot,- with comparatively no expense, the State will secme alargo amount of North ern capital and immigration, which, aside from the advantages offered to tho Penl ?Mitlora.^ inH'- niMA .ilium Mtuut Ik&.nnfc. Ifty. It will give s now impetus to man ufacturing in South Carolina, which w'll, wo bollove, In tor-'Cr twenty years, build up a sufficient manufacturing- Industry In tho Stats to .ioi?n??nb ??i of tho cotton grow?, within our bordera, and when this is done our people will save thc amount they ?iow spsn? lu freights to New York . and Liverpool on their conon, and the return freights, commissions and so forth on ibo cotton goods we consume. It ls, , a very important improve? : ?0 regarded by tho Hens?,' ?where tho "Bill paas?! by s vete of three to ' the Anderson' delegation vot one, iou f tho Appropria t more extrava ,b!o according to rvlce. Tho Act if tba State ont? it from year *o in? ? i ? iwryi rf i^ri ii mriMtmmm*ttLMmm**mi by holding their rlopras?ratatlvej to u strict accountability for their votes. A uonatiob of j|500 V.r.: TUB MOULTRIE monument in Charlostoti _ was ftUo Op posed on tho principle- nf tatt thing, and much satire was poked at lt by amend monto tailing for appropriations for other monuments, but lt waa passed by a small majority. The Committee in making up their appropriation for interest, decided to go according to the decision of tho Su preme Court on the State debt, and every member of the House was sgroed upon that point. The committee, however, proposed to pay tho interest or noxt year and of tho back year, also, tn money, and to fund tho Interest back cf that. Messrs. Brown and Murray sought to fund all of the interest that is past duo, and pay in money the interest due for noxt yoai. This proposition was, however, defeated by a large majority. The tax Under it will,'therefore, be six mills outsldo of tho Courcy tax. which will be three mills in Anderson, making a total of niuo milis, whl'o under the proposition of Messrs. Brown tind Murray it would not havo been quito eight mills. Tho Appropria tion Bill, however, goes to tho Senat?, and somo of tho reckless work of the House will no doubt bc undone It is not likely, howover, that tho reduction? will be sufficient to materially affoct tho tax levy, though tboro is some talk of making tho Interest fight over lu the Sen ate If it should prove successful, thon from ono mill to ono and ono-ftmrth mills j can be saved in thc tax lovy. j Gen. Cary has Introduced resolutions i lu tho Senato, which passed, Instructif 3 tho Attorncy-Uenoral to examine Into the State's rights and liabilities in THB QBBBNVILLE A. COLUMOIA JIAILnOAU which ls to bo sold noxt April, undor Judge Mackey 's order, and it is rumored that an effort will bo mado to gotthoBtato to purchase tho Road, if it docs bot sell for enough to saro tho Stato harmless on her guarantee of tho bonds of this Rail road. Tho proposit ion is a good ono, and should lt tako definite shapo, wo will give onr readers a more detailed account of it in our noxt letter. Tho House on lost Thursday passod a Bill to prohibit Railroads from running freight trahis on Sunday, or moro than ono train for carrying mails and passen gers on that day. It wont through by a largo majority, nnd, uhorld it pass tho Sonate, will bo a wholosomo law, which will reflect much crodlt on tho morality and reverence for tho Sabbath shown by oar State. It will oorroat many ovils that oxlst, and givo to railroad employees tho privllcgo of spending tholr Sabbaths th tho Borvicos for which tho day was in tended. TUB LOCAL SOUOOL TAX Bill hos boon postponod from timo to j time until it is vory generally believed lt will not bo passod. Its constant post I ponemont indicates that its advocates know it is weak, and by delays ore try ing to gather strength. Wo think ita do feat is now assured. Messrs. John J. Hemphill and 15. B. Murray had a vory acrimonious discus sion ovor tho Bill to allow town and city councils to appoint publio weighers, and prohibiting any othor than persons ap pointed by mich oompotent authority from receiving any componsation for such sorvice. Mr. Hemphill favored and Mr. Murray opposed the Bill, during the I discussion upon which Mr. Hemphill i very sharply reflected upon tho whole Anderson delegation, and in reply Mr. Murray was quito severe upon Mr. Hemphill, who, after a few momonts reflection, got up and withdrew his re marks, and expressed tho hopo that the matter would be forgotten. His original remarks wore certainly unprovoked, but hui course afterwards waa manly, and showed him to possoss the moral courage necessary to acknowledge a mistake Mr. Murray expressed himself as entire ly satisfied, withdrew what bo had said in reply, saying that ho knew both had spoken from excitement, and that ho trusted nothing more would bo thought of ii. We should net have mentioned tho occurrence in this letter, but fur tho foot that it has crept into othor papors, and lt ls due to both cf the gentlemen .concerned that if stated at all it should be ! folly understood. A flor tho discussion ? the Bill was rejected by a largo majority. TUB XHIBODTJOTION OY BILLS in the House ends to-day undor a reso lution of Mr. Humbert, from laurens. Mr. Murray's resolution to tho same offset .was objected to and plaoed upon tho calendar, which prevented its being reached, and Mr. H uni hort succeeded in getting,his in after it was clearly soon that unless something of the kind was done it would bo impossible to get off be fore Christmas.. Tho passage of this res olution in our opinion greatly facilitates the adjournment. THC PENSION BILL .was up for consideration onjlast Thurs day hight, and, on motion of Mr. D. W. Anderson, was so amended os to Include widows of sold lora killed during the war. Avery ono opposed to the BUI voted for thtsamondmsnt, for two reasons: first, because thay wanted to kill the Bill, and, noxt, because lt was nothing bat right if shy person was to be pensioned, that tho widows i I deceased soldiers should be also. When the amendment was adopt ed, the Houso realized that it luid ah elephant on its hands in this Bill, which would require two or throo hundred thousand dollars a year to carry lt out, and tho Bill was tenderly killed by being recommitted.. It will not bo beard of any _>_. - ? mviu Mnv nonvu, The Bill Introduced hy Mr. Murray to facilitate the completion of tho Bluo Ridge Railroad was defeated by a large majority on yostordey In tho House. Tho former history of the Blue Rid go Railroad seems to be such a weight that it ls impossible for lt to agria receive public laver. It will, howovor, boreal a: great mistake ir. not fostering this en terprise and securing a direct communi cation with the West, which would build \ip our whole State. The Senate lost week defeated a resolu tion to pay the balance of salary duo Jndgo Reed, and thereby openly repu diated a valid and honest claim, against the Stato, for which action thia whole Stale: should ho ashamed. Wo shall watch ito action on the Appropriation Bill to.060.if lt cats down Un? ort? ?i_ lowancos testate officers and thoir clerks; Surely it cannot afford to moko presents of the people's monoy to men who havo no claim to lt, when thoy aro not willina ! to pay tho honest debts of the State.

HON. JO. WYATT AIKKtVS LKTTKIL Wo p?b>?sh WloYr ?O much of tho letter to tho Chaf 1er. ton News and Courier ot tho lion. ?). W. /.ikon, ou. Representativo In Congross, ut ?or date of Wachluirtr n. December Mb, as roletas to political sub* Jects. Col. Aiken's constituents will leam from lt with no little regret that their represontatlvfi regrids the Demo* eratic party-tho party celled Into exis tence during the administration of Wash ington, although uttdor a different batkio, by tho ofTiris of tho Federalist* of that day to dOittoy tho State governments and establish s consolidated Federal government ; tho party which for moro than sixty years controlled tho adminis tration of publie affairs of the couutry, and ?nado this oho of tho first countries of tho world, ahd tho party, and the only party, Which to-day as In 1700 ls opposing consolidation and imperialism, ha? out livtd its usefidnets, and should be wiped out* Col. Ailinn would tint ilnatrny llioey.?s tenco of parties, for ho recognises t'iolr necessity, but ho dees object to their de signation as Democrat end Republican, and would have a "now deal"-a now party-formed by calling a convention of tho industrial alomontsof tho country, and forming a Presidential ticket with out regard to cither of tho political par ties. Thia is speculatively beautiful, but practically impracticable Suppose Col. A*kon should assemble his convon.ion of tho industrial interests of tho couutry. What discordant elements would com pose that convention I Thero would ho Demociat and Itopubllcan, thoButlorism of tho Atlantic and tho Kearnoyism of tho Pacific, tho advocate of a protective tariff and tho advocato of freo trade, tho constitutionalist and tho consollaationul ist, all striving for tho ascendancy, with no power or common lio to harmonizo , them. From tho assembling of such a convention as this, composed of diseor- j ilant, waring elements, we Hhould havo confusion worso confounded. Tho wbolo thing is chimerical und wholly impracti cable. If constitutional liberty is pre served on the American continent, lt must bo through tho Instrumentality of tho Democratic party. Destroy this par ty, and tho rights of States and tho lib erty of tho citizen aro gone. Tho mis sion of tho Democratic party will not bo accompllulicd as long as American liberty as secured by tho fathers of tho Republic In to bo preservod as a common h?ritage, mid perpetuated to succeeding ages. Wo regret Btlll moro that Col. Aiken Hhould havo deemed it prudent to pub lish to tho wholo country a letter, tho o:;i.v tend.nicy of which ls to dishoarton and domoraiizo tho party with which ho has boon identified all II?M lifo, and which placed bim in tho high and responsible position which hu now occupies, and to oneourago und Biuitain tho Republican party, which ho has abusod in no uncer tain terms from its beginning. He ex presses tho conviction that no partisan, as a Democrat, can carry tho Stato of Now York, and that Democracy cannot carry Indiana. In othor words, thnt tho defeat of tho Democrats in 1880 is inevita ble. If tho noxt Presidential contest is to bo botwoon tho Democrats and Repub licans, and wo can see no other possible prospect, then this expression of convic tion is most unwise and impolitic. It can accomplish no good for tho party or tho country, and wo can find no motivo for its publication, unless there is organ ized, or in tho process of organization, a "DOW desi" in tho formation of politi cal partlos not disclosed in tho lotter or olHewhoro. Wo confess wo do not under stand Col. Aiken's position. If he in tends to ontor tim contest in 1880 under tho Democratic banner, ho would not have proclaim->d In advance tho inevita ble dofeat of his party ; and if such is not lila lutentlon, and ho is ongagod in the organization of a "now deal," tho peoplo Bhould be informed of it, and know something of tho remedy proposed for the ruin Bought to bo accomplished. Is it true, howevor, that tho BUCCOSS of the Democrats in 18?0 is improbable, not to say their defeat Inevitable. Snnntora Hampton and Dutlor, with the leedora of tho party, say that with judicious selec tion:! of candidates wo will succeed. Tho prospect of success to-day is more promising than it was in 1870, . when Tilden received a majority of near half a million of tho popular voto of tho whole country. We do not despair of success. Wo aro much more hopeful than la 1870, and If united and confident wa sholl look for BUCCOSS; but such lottora from tho leodora of the party, published In tho poporo of tho wholo country, os that of Col. Aiken's will seal Its doom. . EXTHACT8 FBOli LETTER. I A run of six, eight or ten hours in tho limited express, tho express or accommoda tion train, brings one from Now York, 210 miles, to this beautiful city, tho seething cauldron of political partisanship. Party rule and party limits measure tho patriot ism of those who como hero to make laws. "Distance lends enchantment to the view;" and possibly, as ono reproaches great nora its awe-inspiring majesty appears. It seems to mo there is no greatness-states manship-here. The leaders of both parties aro partisans, not statesmen ; they are sec tional in politics, and not patriotic. Every question of importance hos its Democratic and Republican friends and enemies. A "voa and nov" roto generally separates tho flocks, but kt heart thero are sheep and goats in both Hocks. Sectional measures BIIDW that blood ii thicker than water. Pension appropriations or Northern im Srovomenta easily close up the gop between 'orthern Republicans mid Northern Dem ocrats. Southern pensions or Southern im provements keep it closed up. At tho South we havo straggled most manfully for home rule, and style ourselves Democrats. ' At tho North a mero sentiment-tho Solid South-bas whipped 75 per cent, of the vo iiuK ?opulaiioa into ino nopubiican party, ana If our Southern leaders continue to thrust into Northern faces Southern choices for Presidential honors, the remaining 25 per cent, will be there before the idee of next November, And then, "what are you going to do about it?" Looking the field all over, Messrs. Edi tors, and analyzing the incentives that prompt the actions of y oar legislators, I am ir resistibly convinced that if wo wish to llvo lu peace and prosperity under our own vines ana hg trees ai tho couta, and cement this Union with a cohesion '-illy- patriotic and true, the time hos come ter s "new deal" politically; or If not yet. ts not far distant. Both the political partios of this country hove out-lived their usefulness, and should be wiped out The word Re ?kublican, used in a partisan sense, is hale ol tb everr 'respectable Southerner' who loves the land that gave him birth. I have reason to know that the word Democratic. < used in a partisan sense, Is no less distasteful to a majority of tho volera '-f . the North, and they of the better classes. Then how can these two discordant elementa assimi J?t? ?T>? tuc imune rf roi ? xTJoy cannot. ? would not destroy parties. They are nec essary to establish a wholesome pabilo opinion. But they should never be allow? ed to bocorao sectional. A Solid South vs. a 8olid North simply means a house divid ed against Itself, and es true as tho book in which it was written will be the sequenco of such division. We have the "Solid South" to-day. Yhe "Solid North" will come so soon ' that It will seem Uko to-morrow when it is passed. My conviction ls tho partisan does not live who can "carry" Now York ss . a Democrat. Jfeilhor will Vi? m rv Indiana. AU chu is Republican' If this result is Inevitably ns I rcrUy believer it 1*. What alternative have wuT The people havo it in their pewer to re model tho structure so unwisely built by their leaders. The industrial elements pf the country, both North and South, com prising at least 75 percent, of the vot ing population of tho Union, including far mers, raccbardes and other ortUans, should rftiiy to the rescue of the tottering fabric, Amsrtcsui pcople a PiesMcnthd" ticket not I ny ita formeradogUnoe to either ie existing party-? ticket that wou'd know no North, no South, no East, no Went, but pjurlolic enough to bo beyond tho behests of i?rty and abie enough lo govern without prejudice, but willi eq.tlty and justice, tb to entire country. That such a ticket can bs Tirtiiiwl ? ?lo not tor one moment doubt, That it will hts before it is too late, lime alone can tell. * * . . . D. WYATT AIKKR. Tho Edgefleld Adlrrtiier declares that it ls General Oliy's Intention to retire from publio lifo at tho expiration of bis term as State Senator from that County, and that ho is not a candidate for (inventor. * Tho AbbbvUto Medium is very anxioua to have tho next Democratic State Con vention hold in Greenville, and in advo cacy of lt? viows says: "Tho central executive committeo have tho powor to lix tho "me and pUco for holding tho convention. Tho D?mocratie members of the (Jouerai Assembly should hold a caucus and consider tho wisdom ol j this motion, &???, imving considered lt in all its bearings upon the Mtttro strength j of tho party, should advise thocommittoo to order tho convention in Greenville. Wo call for it in tho interest of tho party -its harmony and unity, And its greater strength and oillclency In tho perilous struggle Just beforo it." As far a? we oro concerned, wo aro per fectly willing that tho uoxt Convention bo hold in (Irccnvlllo, though wo must acknowledge that we cannot soo why it ls so ve?y important or necessary -o tho ?ature "harmony and unity" of tho par ty as our Abbeville contemporary dalma lt to be. Wo boliovo that tho men whom the Convontion nominates for State om cors, lot it bo hold wherever it may, will bo supported by tho pcoplo of South Car olina with us much zeal and unanimity au woro thoso nominated by tho lost two Convontlous. Wo do not think tho party in this Stato is in such groat 'danger of going to pieces, nor do wo consldor the holding of tho Convention In some othor placo thau Columbia uocossary to success noxt year. . "Judgo Prossley is a very able lawyer and a gentleman of the hlghost moral character. Hut he does not maleo a specially Ano Judge. Ho is too eccentric, too wiso in blsown conceit, and too quick to disregard the opinions ? id to belittle tho ability of othor people"-U?/i?i?6oro Neus and Herald. Tho abovo paragraph was provoked by a correspondent of tho Spartanburg Spat tan suggesting Judge Presley for tho As sociate Judgoship of tho Supremo Court. It sounds very much liko tho oxprossion of a prejudiced mind. Tho writor first throws a sugar plum and thon mud. A man "of highest moral character," and yet "too wiso in his own conceit, and too quick to disregard tho opinions and to belittle thr abilities of othor people" would bo a strango compound, indeed. These traita of character do not harmon ize, and just how it is penible for them to oxlst in any one at tho sanio timo is beyond our comprehension. A man "of ! hlghost moral character," and such we i regard Judgo Pressloy, must bo virtuous, j just and honorable, and above doing a mean act or "belittling tho abilities of I othor pooplo." Wo hellovo Judgo Pross loy is ono of tho purest and ablest Judges on tho Bench in this Stato, and in overy respect worthy of the confidence of, and promotion by, our people. While hold ing Court nt this place, ho impressed our Bar and pooplo general ly as hoing a high toned gontloman and impartial Judge, and as suoh bo ls regarded by tho pcoplo all over tho State. . A correspondent of tho Abbeville Me dium, writing in tho Interest of Uonoral j Gary, and over tho signature of "Felix," makes n most vigorous attack in tho last issuo of that paper upon tho administra tion of affairs in this St it - Kineo tho Dem ocrats went Into powor, and among many othor rash and reckless assortions we find tho tho following: "In faot, tho courso and oxamplo of tho Conservativo leaders have been such that thura are moro whlto mon to-day In South Carolina who aro openly declaring themselves Radicals than theroever wore during any period of Radical rule." The "Conservativo loaders" referred to I above arc Senator Hampton, Governor I Simpson and the rest of tho Stato officers, to whoas wiso and just administration of our government tho people of South Car olina will ever be indebted, tho opinion:.; and denunciation:! of "Felix" to the con trary notwithstanding. Wo would like to know whoro these white men reside j "who aro openly declaring themselves Radicals." Surely not in Abboville nor I any of thc other counties in tho up-coun I try. Nor indeed do we boliovo thoy are ?to be found any whoro ebie in the borders j of South Carolina, except lu tho imagina tion of tills correspondent. A fow such newspaper writers as Follx in ovory county of the State would bo certain death to Gen. Gary or any other aspirant for political honors. . , Oar Cotton Crop.
