/? Ciovernor Sintpfton Elected <;hief Justice. Tho Lesislature, after the declination of Judge Mclver, have chosen our Chief fr. fnL-p his nlncp. Governor J r Simpson is a high-toned gentleman; a man of strong convictions, thoroughly 1 conscientious, and withal a capital lawyer. We are not afraid of our judicial interests suffering while in such hands, and we we do hope that no trouble will now occur to impede the moving on of * our Supieme court. It is now well filled, and has both character and capacity to deal justly. Bcatlt of Miijor Wade Hampton. ' We regret to announce the death of J this gentleman at bis home m iUiastssippi. He was a son of onr distinguished Senator, and this loss will be a severs blow to him. The particulars are not before us, but we knew Mnjor Hampton well, and always found him to be a genial, kind hearted gentleman. He was in the full flush and prime of manhood, and life seemed yot to have many days of happiness for him, We can only express our profound sorrow, and add our sympathies for those who are.bereaved. , ?he Fish Commissioner. We beg to tender our thanks to this officer for a copy of his report npoD pisciculture. It is clear, elaborate and pointed.

T*. ...II., JOOQJ win De auuuuaub. j.i, is i?nj astounding to read of the wonderful increase that can be made, and Col. Butler has clearly shown that he thoroughly understands what he is doing. He recommends certain restrictions and laws to regulate the catching offish that will do an immense deal of good, and most earnestly to we trust that his sugges- ! tions will be strictly enforced. Only One Solntion. Mr. Aiken, Congressman from the Fourth District, seems to have made a j big leap, and sees in the future nothing for the Democracy of the country to hope tor. He salves this over by predicting also the dissolution of the Republican party, In short, the "farm" aIIaq fvia t*ry?"inrr*3 " Jc tvlo i CI"3 UJU> CUicui; auaj uic i??uv only hope, if he is correct. We know the distinguished gentleman well, and for honesty of conviction and sincerity of purpose we regard him as second to no man, but his enthusiasm has evi? dently befuddled his well poised political ideas, and he stands after the fall elections like a routed general after a hard fought battle, clammoring for'the troops who have not been engaged in the fight as the ODly salvation. There is some force in his argument, but not enough to make it at all worthy of se rious consideration, and we do not re gard his departure as worthy of much importance. As to Mr. Keitt, he is evidently floundering. He is attempij ing to mix oil and water, and his theories are totally at variance with the com nion seotimeDt 01 our couiny or rue exi> gencies of the occasion. These things, however, do much to disintegrate the Democratic party, and will have their following, no matter how small. The only solution we see in the whole matter is to bring forward a man to leud us who possesses all of the elements of a successful leader, and- one too who can enthuse and unite us. Gary is the remedy, and we believe his nomination will calm the troubled waters. I>t's have it. Billiard Boom. I beg leave to announce that I bar* opened a Billiard Room, in the Clyburn Block, up Btaire, for the accommodation of ' lovers of tpe game, and it is now ready for patronage. H.

LmMJ, vjupbtiuthotiuiu A VERY VALUABLE WORK. The Pictorial I/is tor;/ oj the United States from the Discovery of the American Continent to (he present time. By James D. McCabe, Author of "A Manual of General History," "The Great Republic," Etc. It Is a well known fart, that the mass of onr people are compelled to rely,forthelr knowledge of the hi-'or v of their country, upon tne ontllne works Intended for the use of schools, which by their very nature are brief; designed for the comprehension of children, and in every way unsuited for the adult mind, here has long been felt a genuine want of a history of the United States, covering the whole period from the discovery of the Continent to the present day, and presenting in a succinct and comprehensive form the history of our country through its various periods, from a higher and more thoughtful standpoint than would be proper in a school history. This demand we are happy to say Is satisfactorily met in "The Pictorial History of United States," a work which is evidently destined to take rank as the standard History of our country, he author, James D. McCabe, is an able and well known historical writer. We most heartily commend this work to onr readers. It is no dry mass of details, no bombastic effort to inilamc the national pride, but a clear, vivid, and brilliant narrative of th-i events of our history from the discovery of the American i ontinent to the present ay. It gives a most interesting account of the Indians of North America, from the time of the coming of the white men. The voyages of Columbus, the explorations of the different nations of Europe, and the wanderings of the Spaniards in search of gold and immortal youth, are told with graphic power, he story of the revolution is related with ail the'intercst of a romance; then fol lows a clear ami succinct account or tne rormation 01 the Federal Constitution, the Hecond war with England, the Mexican war, and the events of our history up to the commencement of the Civil war. he History of the neat Civil war is related with intense vigor, an I with strict Oddity to truth. The author writes with calmness and impartiality, and pleads the cause of no section or party. he work Is composed In one large and handsome volume of 1120 pages, and contains more than soo tine engravings illustrating the events recorded in the narrative, embracing battles and other historical scenes; portraits of the distinguished men of our history, views of our principal cities and of noted public buildings, and specimens of famous American scenerv by the best artists, h e book is Issued by the National Publishing company of Phildeiphla, Pa., Chicago III., and St. Louis, Mo., whose imprint is a guarantee for the excellenee of the workmanship. The price is low considering the high character of the work. It Is sold bv subscription only, and Mr; E. A. McDowall, who is the authorized agent for this section is now canvassiug for it. OH, YES!
