The Minority In <t?o Rest OtHMl A?
Tbe incoming Legislature is dark, of
course. It has not materially changed
it* hues, political or individaid, eiuoo
last .we"looked upon its face, though
there may be some slight variations iu
the. shades. .There have been introduced
into the 3unate seventeen new members,
and thirty-three in the House of Repre?
sentatives. .The old.; mombera who have
been re-eleotsd remain, politically, in
itaiu quo. They are mostly extreme Ra?
dical,, *!itt?&?ffe>ritP hw shown some
slight, tendopay to Conservatism, and
hetrj sod thoro, a Democrat. The oewly
elected members on the Muses ticket ere,
without exception, all strongly pro
soonoed Radicals. Taking the bodies as
they stand? eld and now, we have in the
House twenty-one Democrats, and in the
Senate eight. ThiB constitutes a pretty
respectable minority in numbers, capa?
ble, aa auch, by barmouioua action, by
deploying or conoentrating, aa circum?
stances may require, of doing much
good- fo- tbe State; and, still more, by
their foroe of obaraoter. by energy and
watchfulness, and by unswerving fidelity
to the priuoiplbs nnd policy whiob they
havo^ujiuortaken po represent. Tbe well
being of the State is, in part, oommitted
to their'keeping; its honor, to some ex?
tent, is confided to their, hands. They
are bound, as good men, and true repre?
sentatives, to: take all neoessary eure of
tbe one and to maintain and vindicate
tiro other upon ail proper occasions.
. They hold commissions from the people,
who .expect from them arduous apd faith?
ful ae*vioo. It is from them must come
e?y real cheok to the prevailing fltgraut
abase?, any ourtailment of the euoruiuus
expenses of government, and the initia?
tion of any true measures of reform.
They are charged with tbe task of en?
deavoring to correct errors and wrongs
in tbe past, and of their prevention iu
tbe future. Where this is impossible,
their faithful exposure of them will do
much good. They wiU be expected to
show a keen insight end-interest iu all
matters which come before them in their
delegated capacity. The eyes of the
country are upon these gentlemen, botb
to observe and enooarage. As individu?
al members, their conduct should show
no warp or taint in their personal inde?
pendence and integrity, and when they
aot they will do it circumspectly, patri?
otically and effectively. We expect
much from their moral spirit aod high
tone. Courage, honesty, industry and
patriotism, like blood, will tell anywhere
and everywhere.
We will follow down the list of mem?
bers of tbe House of Representatives.
Tbe word "Democrat," opposite to a
name in this list, tells a tale generally of
Qtrniioin mill Mf the, vie tor v of sound
principle. That "Democrat" has proba?
bly bad to battle against heavy odds,
against the world and flesh of tempta?
tion, blandishments aud threats, and the
devil of bribery and corruption. We are
disposed to honor him in advance. In
Anderson the names of John Wilson aud
J. O. 0. Feathers tone appear with "D."
John Ooobrane is with tbem, but is, in?
nocuous as be is, on the stool of repen?
tance. From Chesterfield we have A. M.
Lowery and W. W. Spenoer, both true
men. Mr. Lowery is no novice, having
been ip the Legislature many years ugo.
He is well acquainted with legislative bu?
siness, is of excellent character aud of no
mean abilities. We weloome the delega?
tion from Greenville?J. P. Moore, S. S.
Orittenden, James MoCullough aud John
H. Good wine. Mr. * Orittenden served
the last term, and is favorubly kuowu.
Messrs. J. E. Dusenberry and N. B.
Cooper come as Democrats from tbo
Oounty of Horry. Heury A. Meetze
and J. C. Lawman appear from Lexing?
ton. Mr. Meetze is ao acquisition. He
is true as steel, with fair speaking abili?
ties and genial manuers. His oompauion
is, we doubt not, worthy of bis com?
pany. Mr. Black, from Lancaster, and
Edmond Herndon, from Ooonee, are ull
right. The eleotion of R. E. Bo wen,
Democrat, of Piokeus, bus bueu contest?
ed. We hope that he will come through
- right side up. The Spartaubnrg dele?
gation is beaded by Hon. Gabriel Can?
non, a puro man, of ripe experience, of
intimate acquaintance with tho condi?
tion of affairs, and capable, if any one is,
of dovising remedies for oar present ills.
He is accompanied by Richard M. timith,
W. P. Comp ton and T. J. Moore. Mr.
Smith is bold, fearless and true; aud Mr.
Moore and Mr. Comp ton are iu good
oompatiy. Messrs. W. H. Wallace, B.
H. Rico and John Wullaoo will answer
to the roll call of Union, and Union may
be proud o! her choice. Gen. Wallace
has been before the public ever sicco bis
early, youtb, acceptably in all positions
in which he has been tried. As a
speaker and writer, as an offloer in
Confederate service, as a member of tbe
Legislature and of tbe Confederate Con?
gress, ha la? ai^ya ^j^s^y^Bre
done weiy. Of Ape oddjqss.. rile^in^
appoaraooe, oonee|?ativ?jnaDi* ?rWnal(
inflexible tenuoityjrpf purpose^ ekc^leut
intelligence and iifgh cuUivatio*v-??. is
well fitted for the present crisis in our
affairs, and will gain influence where
[ most others might depair. Mr. B. H.
Rico ia a leading man in bis] County?a
man not to 'bo ben t: or swerved' from his
idea'of wbattSTtglstr If a mm maybe
known by ? bis associate^ Jttr. John
Wallace ought to be considered in a
favorable light. Daniel Williams, of
York, wo know to be a good and true
man.
The Senate list includes eight Demo?
crats: John Wilson, Anderson; G. W.
Davall, Chesterfield; T. O. Donaldson,
Greenville; J. O. Hope, Lexington; W.
0. Kuitu, Ooonee; W. ?. Holoombo,_
Pickons; D. R. Duncan, Spartanbnrg,*
and T. B. Jeter, Union. Mr. Wilson
and Mr. Davall are old members, and
correct, straight-for ward men. Mr.
I Donaldson, of Greenville, and Mr. Hoi
combe, of Piekens, are not so well known
here; bat their good name has preceded
them. Who in Columbia?the Columbia
of a dozen or more years ago?does not
know J. C. Hope, of Lexington? A
atsunoh man, with a prodigious gift in
delivering long speeches. The occasion
draws nigh when he may exercise this
talent, if he still possesses it, with a
vim. When he gets in the Radical me?
nagerie, w9 trust that ho will cry aloud
and apare not. W. C. Keith, of Ooonee,
is a clever man, of fiue parts, of good
education, and familiar with legislative
life. 80 is Mr. Duncan, of Spartanbnrg.
I He will also make a good Senator. The
Senator from Union is a good matoh to
the members of, the other House, re?
turned from that .County, and that is
naying no little Mr. Jetor is u correct
business man, of upright character and
great popularity. He has long been
favorably, known as President of the
Union and Spartanbnrg Railroad Com?
pany.
Upon the whole, we haVe a good set of
meu composing our minority?men not
merely capable of giving negative votes,
but many of them of positive character,
having opinions of their own and ability
to sustain them; meu also who, while
guarded and courteous in demeanor, oan
neither be bullied nor allured into tbe
support of anything wrong, mean or
mercenary.
Gains im tos Senate.?Tho Demo?
crats gain six now members in the United
States Senate. Messrs. Rioe, of Arkan?
sas, Spencer, of Alabama, Osborn, of
Florida, Kellogg, of Louisiana, Pool, of
North Carolina, and Hill, of Georgia, go
out on tho 1th of March next, aud as
Democratic Legislatures have been
chosen in all these States, good Demo
r'rufu ar|{1 be omit fo succeed I hem, ft*vl
to stand by tbe side of Thnrmen, Bay?
ard, Stockton andOasserly, iu upholding
tbe Constitution and opposing the en?
croachments of the Federal Govornment.
The presont Democratic streugth in the
Seuate is seventeen. The terms of some
of these Senator j expire in March, but
iu every case they are or will be succeed?
ed by Democrats. McCreery succeeds
Gurrett Davis, from Kentucky, and Den
nis succeeds Viokers, from Maryland;
and Frank Blair will probably bo re
elected from Missouri. The Democratic
Htreugtb in the Seuate, after the 4th of
March, will be twenty-three. There has
not beeu so many Democratic Senators
since I860. Ou many questions this
Democratic phalanx will be reinforced
with the support of tho Liberal Republi?
can Senators?Sumuer, Schurz, West,
Tiptou, Fenton und Spruguo?und they
may even count ou the co-operation of
such moderate Republicans as Aloorn,
Ferry, Robertson, Allison, Surgeut aud
Lewis, iu cubes of emergency, when tho
Administration shows a disposition to
exuevd its powers too flagrantly. These
uumes number thirty-five, which is more
than a majority of the whole Sonate.
Upon tbe whole, in spite of the appa?
rently overwhelming triumph of Grant
iu tbo electoral colleges, tbe Conserva?
tives stand relatively much better in
Congress, and, at any rate, retain
streugth enough to hold Grant in chuck.
? . m
Saluda, the Colombia correspondent
of the Charleston News, writes as follows
iu relation to the bond scrip:
There are well accredited rumors to
tho effect thAt Judge Melton, who heard
tho argument in the Blue Ridge scrip
oase, will decide against its validity.
The case will then be taken to the Su?
premo Court, and, as Judge Willard will
uot be oompetent to sit as a member of
that court in a case in which he will be
oompolled to review his own decision, a
temporary judge will have to be appoint?
ed by tho Governor. There is consider?
able speculation as to whom the Govern?
or will appoint. It is believed in well
informed oiroles that it wilt be Major C.
D. Meltou, bnt this of course is not yet
definitely known.

Important Discovery nr "Old Pno
ii a m ME?"?A Gbbat Atmosphbbio
Wave Undulating across tub Cokti
nknt.?Tho researches of the signal
office have just been rewarded by a
beantiful and highly important mete?
orological discovery. Ou the coast of
England, from time immemorial, the
phenomenon of tho great November at
moBpherio wave has boon the speculation
of scientists and seamen: but Sir John
H?rschel and others have supposed it
was peculiar and confined to England
and Western Europe, whioh it reaches
from the South Atlantio, and over which
it rolls in long continued ucdulativnB
from October to January, constituting
an important element in the phetomcnal
character of Eur^peau winter. Ou the
12ch of November a similar atmospherio
wave began to break over tho shores of
Oregon and British Columbia, as sbowu
by the weather telegrams. By tho even?
ing of the 13th it hud spread over nearly
all of the Pacific Stutes and Territories,
Utah and Nevada, and ut mid night was
pouriog throngb tho passen of the Rocky
Mountains. On Thursday, the 14th, it
descended upou Colorado, Nebraska,
Kansas and the Indian Territory. On
Friday morning it extended iu unbroken
magnitude aud magnificence from Ore?
gon and Washington Territory Eustwaid
through tho great trough or depression
of tbe Rocky Mouutain buck-bone to
Idaho and Moutaua, uud stretched
thenee to tho Lower Missouri and Lower
Mississippi valleys and over the Western
shores of tho Mexican Gulf. This dis?
covery will enable meteorologists to
anticipate, by many days, tho approach
of wiuter, as it advances from the Pacific
coast Eastward in tho great current ol
Westerly winds. It serves to clear up
tho old mystery of Amerioan wiuter
storms, showing that they origiuatu in
tho Rooky Mountains, upon whose cold
and loftiest summits iu Nevada, Utah,
Colorado and Southern Wyomiug the
vupor-laden air of this wave, coming
over tbe warm Pacific, is now soon to be
condensed iu the overwhelming suows
of the forty-first parallel. As this vast
I loriul wave is probably, like the Euglisb
I wave, continued iu successive undula?
tions for two or three months, it may
assist in explaining the comparatively
high temperature and light precipitation
in wiutor along Puget Sound and East?
ward.
Is It tue House Disease Among tue
Poultry??We have |bad news for
thanksgiving day. Up the Hudson and
from the highlands and lowlands of this
river back to the Sufqaehunnah, and
iiow much further wo know uot, a terri?
ble disease has broken out among the
poultry. Chickens are dying from it
by hundreds, and ducks, geese and tur?
keys in tbo market uro said to betray
evidences of tho same malady. It ap?
pears to resemble the epizooty; the fowl
uiTecLt-u lias a iiiiiuiug ,?t iht uo&c.
But, iu addition to this symptom of
catarrh, tbe victim becomes dizzy, its
hood swells and it soon dies as of cerebro
spinal meningitis. In auother part of
this paper, wo give tho latest information
on the subject, and, from tbo facts pre?
sented, it appears that this disease is
really assuming tho form of a destructive
pestilence among our domestic fowls.

As an ev idence of the I wakening i n te
rest felt in the Sonth, in tbe manufactur?
ing of cotton, it is tstated that in tbe
year 1869, the oot&jn mills of the South
eon Hamed 80,000 j bales;] in 1870, It in?
creased to 91,COO-bales, and last year
120,000 bales of coiton. We are glad to
chronicle theee figure*, and only wish
that far greater efforts would be made iu
thin direction. In our own midst, do
investment oould be made that would be
of1 ptaotical advantage to tho community,
or that would yield a more couslunt and
increasing divid' nd than a cotton manu?
factory. Contiguous to the city, we

Horts ou Combat.?Tbe subjoined
word-twist iileal ion will be appreciated
by miny, although it in emphatically
fun on a sore subject:
Upon my sole I've walked so much
Since horsos have been hoarse,
I feel like some pedestrian sport
In training on the course.
I've woru my boots to sandals, and
The sand's all in my feet;
My calves won't work, if oxen do,
For horses on the street.
Suoh "pilgrim's progress" as tbis is
Makes eaoh mau's "bunion" hate;
And, though a strict teetotaler,
He's corned iu spite of fate.
Forgotten now is horsemanship
And driving's a lost art.
Hotels can't furnish carriages;
They've nothing but the carle.
The prico of leather's going up
At a most fearful rate;
And every cow hide's quivering,
Lest shafts should be her fate.
No ear 'os now will carry ub.
Urged on by driver's whacks;
Ohl for tho wings Icarus bad,
Although they went by wax!
Then let us hope that horses may
lie freed from present woes,
Aud running on their feet again,
Instead of at tbe nose.
Oub Book Tablb.?Mr. Duffio has*
i furnished us with a copy of James
Payn's latest production, "A Woman's

with tbe writings of tbis author will, we
funcy, agree with us that it is rather
difficult to give any adequate notion of the
contents iu the sort of sketch and com?
ment combined which is commonly
known as a "review," tho reason being
that so great is the sustuinment of his
tales, so completely does almost every
page contain something of incident, or
illustration, or whatever is necossary to
keep them going, that it is hardly possi?
ble to deal with them in mere outliue.
It will be sent by mail for fifty cents. -
