The Election of Chief Justice.
From the Journal of Commerce we
clip the following intelligent account
of tho election of Judge Willard to
the Supreme Bench:
Columbia, S. C, May 15.?The
caucus last night, as previously an
nounced, resulted in the nomination
of Judge Willard, he having at about
half-past three o'clock received forty -
one votes. Twenty-three ballots were
held, and this morning when the.
news was made public there was con
siderable excitement. There were
many rumors of intended bolts, and
the Radicals, all of whom oppose
YVillurd, were keeping up their cour
age by offering to bet that he would
he defeated. Long before one o'clock
the hall of the House was crowded to
its utmost capacity, a large number
of ladies being present.
At one o'clock, the Senate, headed
by LicutennntGovcrnor Simpson,
entered the hall. The Senators wore
given scats in front of the Speaker's !
and the Lieutcnant-Govcrnor calling
the joint assembly to order, had read
the resolution calling for the joint
nssembly, to elect a Chief Justice, to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Chief Justice Moses.
Green, of Beaufort, asked if the
election was to fill the uucxpired
term, or to fill the full term of six
The President replied that that
was a question which each member
must answer for himself,
Nominations were then called for.
Mr. Orr, of Anderson, nominated
A. J. Willard. It was, he said, not
necessary to make a long speech.
Mr. Willard had filled the position
of Associate Justice with honor and
dignity, and he was satisfied *tbat if
lie was promoted to the Chief Justice
ship he would slill continue to honor
the position, and serve the Slate with
fidelity.
Andrews, colored, of Sumter, nomi
nated Hon. W. D, Porter.
Mr. Meyers, colored, of Beau fori,
seconded the nomination of Mr. Wil
lard, which nomination, he said,
would demonstrate the fact lhat ihe
people of South Carolina were, will
ing to recognize the worth of, and
thnt he, for one, was not disposed to
turn his back upon a man who,
though not a native, was still identi
fied with the interests of the Slate.
A pause ensued, and no other
nominations having been made, the
joint assembly proceeded lo ballot.
The vole was taken viva voce, the
clerk of the Senate first calling the
roll ofthat body
The vote resulted Willard 15, Mc

Gentlemen of the Senate ami /louse of
Representatives :
Yesterday I transmitted to his
Excellency the President of the
United Slates the concurrent, rosolu
j lion adopted by the General Assemb
ly invoking Executive clemency, and
1 hereby have the honor to communi
cate his reply.
Wade Hampton,
Governor.
Washington, D. C, May 12, RS77.
To (Joy. Wade Hampton :
1 am informed by tho Attorney
General that he has instructed ihu
District Attorney for South Carolina
to prepare lor trial only three indict
ments in the Kl teuton cases, and to
notify the parties in all other cases
that they need not prepare for trial.
It is possible thai onl) one case will
be tried. Tho fact i hilt the indict
ments were found by the grand jury,
composed of both political parlies,
seems to justify the assumption that
the prosecutions arc n >t partisan. 1
agree wi<h you that a general amnesty
should extend \,o all political offenses
except those which nrc of the gravest
character,

Culture of Peanuts.
The cultivation of'the peanut is
extending very rapidly in the Soulh
ern States. The plant is tropical and
largely cultivated in hot countries
for food. An oil is expressed from
the nuts said to be. in no way inferior
to that of olives. The cultivation of
the peanut is not profitable north of
Virginia, a warm, lightaud moderate
soil being;necessary. Plant in March
and April, according to tlie latitude.
The rows should ho.'h reo and a hn I 1
loot apart, nil la I wo leet apart. Drjp
two to four-pads in each hill. Cover
two inches deep, and when the plants
appear thin out, leaving two in each
hill. Keep the ground mellow an 1
the plants free from weeds. Use a
light cultivator for this work and boo
around I he hills occasionally until the
plants bloom. A tablespoonfuI* of
plaster dropped on c?yji hill two or
three times during the season will
give good results, When the plants
bloom freely hill up slightly and they
will need no further cultivation The'
earlier the plants get started the
larger the yield, which varies from
twenty-live to seventy five bushels
per acre. Gather the crop before the
frost actually kills the vines. A com
mon tree digger is the best imple
ment fcr raising the vines and nuts.
Spread out to dry for a day or two,
then put up in small stacks, with the
bottom layer resting on something to
keep out the dirt. Put on caps of
straw to prevent tho pods from be
coming blackened. Ljt the vines
remain in the stack ten days or two
weeks, when the nuts may be picked
by hand or threshed oft* by machine.
To Prepare Squash for Pies.
The following method is well sui
ted lo the Uubbard and other hard*
shelled, long-keeping squashes, and
is equally useful for preparing squash
for the table : My plan is Lo saw a
squash in half, clean out the seeds;
etc., then place open end down in a
pan containing an inoh or so of
boiling water, placing small slips of
wood or thick wire underneath them
so that the edge will not bum on tho
pan. Lot it steam until thoroughly
lender. The flesh of the squash is
then easily scraped out with a spoon,
and run through a colander, if
thought desirable, though it is not
necessary, there being no hard lumps
in it. By this plan none of the
aroma of the squash is lost, while it
greatly reduces tho labor of prepara
tion. Another plan is to take the
two halves after cleaning from seeds,
etc., join thorn together and bind
firmly will) twine, and placo in the
oven to bake until lender. There is
little, if any difference in tho result,
but J give the preference to the first
method us heing much Ihe easiest.
? B. L. ./., i7i American Agriculiurist,
Tin: Medicine ok ? Sunshine.?
The wor d wants" more sunshine in
its disposition, in its business in its
theology. For ten thousands of the
tidies and pains and irritation of men
and women we recommend sunshine.
It soothes better than morphine. It
stimulates boiler than champagne;
It is the best plaster for a wound.
The good .Sa in aril un poured out into
the fallen traveller's g.ish more of
this than wine and oil. Florence
Nightingale used it on Grim 3a n bat
o o
llofiohls. Take it into all tho alleys
on hoard of aU the ships, and by all
sick beds. Not a phial'ull, but li
soul full. Ii is good for spleen, for
liver complain', for neuralgia, for
rheumatism, for falling fortunes, for
melancholy. Wo suspect that hea
ven itself is only more sunshine.
II?)w to Succeed.?If your scat
is hard to sit upon, stand up. i,Jfn
rock rises up before you, roll it away
or climb over it. If you want money,
earn it. It lakes longer to skin an
elephant than a mouse, but the skin
is worth something. If you want
confidence, pro* e yourself worthy of
it. lie not content with doing what
mi other has done?surpass it. J)o
serve success, and it will come. The
boy was riot born a mm. TU a sun
does not rise like a rocket, or go
down like a bullet fired fronTTi gun;
slowly and surely it makes its rounds,
and never tires. It is as easy to be
a lender as a wheel horse. If the job
be long, the pay will be greater; if
the task be hard, the moic competent
you must be to do it.
Ninety persons out of every hun
dred wlip set out fruit trees for home
use or market indulge in tco many
varieties. This one fatal error has
ruined more fruit-growers than all
other causes combined. Nursery
men propagate their hundreds and
thousands of sorts, simply because a |
msijority of their customers do not]
know what they want arid will not
take the advice of inch who do. The
prevailing passion with the novice in
fruit culture is to try as many* varie
ties as possible, and wc have known
men who had ''just begun/' and with
very liulc capital, to go into a nur
sery and undertake Ic make n short
purse go a long way, by purchasing
a nee or Iwo of inch variety, instead
of acting the wiser part, selecting
iroin ami moor 01 ireos a lew 01 the
very best.
Feed Racks.?A stormy day im
proved by making a few racks In
hohl hay and fodder for eaitlCj sheep
and horses, will return large prpiits
before summer comes, in saving;,tho
feed iroiri being I ram pied under lb it
and in the mud, and thus wasted and
destroyed. Plenty of feeding racks
about the barnyard is an evidence of
a careful pains taking farmci?and
only such can make anything now-n
days. It is not those who make the
moat that thrives best, but it. is those
who save the most, of what they du
make. The secret of success is in
saving all that can economically and
wisely be saved.
Gilt-edged handkerchiefs arc the
latest nflcclation. The edge must just
peep from the swell's overcoat pocket
on the port side.
