Agricultural liens of all sorts and of approved forms are keptconstant ly on hand, or furnished on shortest notice, at the office of THE NEws AND HERALD. There is nothing new from Colum biat. Judge Carpenter has not yet made his decision in the habeas corpus case. The Senate committee is still in session. Since Christmas, the merchants wihsnua unanimity concur in saying that business, like the sun last week, has gqone out. We hope it will soon comeC in again. The freedmen agree with the whites at last-in saying that this will be a good crop year. So mote it be, say we. We are informed that Cupid has recently been quite on the rampage at Ridgecway, and that terrible havoc has been dealt by the relentless being in and arohnd our sister town. Once a week is the average. The general belief now is that cotton, p)olitics, real estate, an-leoin miodities generally have touchefd bottom, and we can all take a long, full resp~iration, and await the ascent to the coming climax of goodi prices and general prosperity. They have discovered out West the greatest liar of the ago--a man who said that a newspaper can be run without ready money. Another chap who said that subscribers ariei p~romnpt in paying up was ranked second best. WeT invite attention to the notice published by Messrs. McCreery & Brother, of Columbia. It will be observed that the old firm of Mc f'reery, Love & Co. has been dis% solved, and that the business for some years past conducted by it will be continued by Messrs. Thomas A. McCreery and Barrie B3. McCreery, -under the style of McCreery & Brother. These gentlemen possess ample facilities in every department of their business, and they are pre. pared to offer great inducements to all who will favor them with patron age. _____ _ CAROLINA MILITARY INsTITUTE.--We would eall the attention of all who are directly interested in the edluca tion of youth to the advertisement of the Carolina Military Institute, located at Charlotte, N. C. This insti tution is under the superintendency ofCol. J. P. Thomas, who is widely and favorably knowvn to the people of South Carolina as once one of her most prominent and useful citizens. As a professor in the Citadel Acade my, and afterwards as Superintend.. ont of the Arsenal Academy, Col. Thomas rendered valuable service to the State, at the same time acquiring an experience which renders him po culiarly well qualified for the posi tion he at at present occupies. In the Camolina Military Tnstit he is DEAT rnoM BURININo.-A most dis tressing accident occurred oi last Thursday near Ridgeway, resulting in the death of Mrs. Harriet Perry, a half-sister of Mr. David H. Ruffi The unfortunate lady was sitting, with her grand children near a large fire, and in turning round near the fire-place, her clothing ignited. There being no one at hand to ren der immediato assistance, sho was soon enveloped in flanes and her apparel entirely destroyed. She lingered in great suffering, until 2 o'clock, p. m.-only four hours after the uin fortunate occurrence-wIlen ste breathed her last. Her family have the sympathy of many friends. TIE WINNsBORO HOTEL.-The well known, popular and successful host, Mr. M. L. Brown, announces, in another portion of this week's paper, that lie las taken possession of the commodious building, located on tho north-east corner of Congress and Washington streets, and has added in mnny respects to his facilities for keeping a first-class house. A good hotel, in a town of the size to which Winnsboro has attained, is almost as rare a thing as it is desirable, and to meet the wants of the traveling public, requires both skill and expo, rience. In thi management of the Winnsboro Hotel there will be abundance of theso, and it will doubtless come fully up to the wants of adl. READING FOn FARMERS.-The .boral Carolin ian has been forced, by want of patronage, to suspend publica tion, and Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, for some time past its editor, has as sumod charge of the agricultural do partmnent of 7%e Ntews and Courier. "Our object," say the proprietors of that paper, "in giving special atten tion to agricultural topics is two fold. We desire to make The News and Courier as high an authority, as interesting and as valuable to the farmer and planter, as it already is !to other classes of the population. Besides this, we desire to make it unnecessary for the planter or farm er to subscribe to a newspaper for general news, and to some magazine for special information." The con tributions of Col. Aiken will appear in the daily edition every Friday, in the tri-weekly edition every Satur dlay, and in the weekly edition every Wednesday. To mothers whose children are weeping.-Sweet and balmy slumber secured for~ the little ones, and coughs and colds rap)idly banished by the use of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. * A Specimen Witness. We have felt called upon0T in for merissues to (direct public attention to the vagar'ies (which is a mild term) of Mr. Warren RI. Marshall, the reading clerk, so-called, of the Rum1) H-ouse of Representatives, and for a long time trial justice at Ridgeway. With more brass than merit, lie sought in September last a nomination for Senator at the hands of the nogroes of this county, andl after receiving~ this nomiinaition repudiated the ticket upon which he waIs nominated a'nd p)ublicly do clined the proffered honor. Not withstanding his donunciation of the ticket as one upon which no honest man could run, he marched up) to the polls on the 7th of Novem her, and deposited an op)en ballot for it. These things might have been forgotten as time rolled on, but Marshall's latest exploit entitles him to further notice at our hands, and also holds him up to public gaze in his true light-namely as an un blushing falsifier, and as a misera-. ble demagogue. We have received trustworthy information as to the substance of Marshall's testimony before the Senate Investigating Committee now sitting in Cohunbia. It was mainly in support of the! charge that a reign of terror existed at Ridgeway and in that vicinity during the last camp~aign and at the general election, sup~erinduced and brought into existence by thme for mation of the rifle club presided over by Capt. R. S. Desportes. But still wvorse, lie stated, as we are credibly in formed, that his wife pined away and died from nervous prostration caused by this alleged reign of terror. It was bad epough to malign the citizens of Ridgeway generally, but to charge upon them even indirectly the death of his wife, was to perpetrato upon that people a most damnable libel. It was an act that will cover Marsbhl with disgrace for all time to come, and justly so too. FIRsT IN WAR, FIRST IN PEACE." And first in the hearts of the thous maladis-such as Constipation, i3ilious: Fevers,. Colie, Dyspepsia, Sick Headnele, chills, RhlOUmallltisill, Gout, Jaiidice, Restlessness, Loss of Appetito aund General Debility. "First Tu-r's PILs and then health and happiness," is their motto. This is the result of American progress inf science. Diseases that woro once treated by cuietics, blisters, lancets, starvation iad poisoneus minerals, are now cured by theso safe and gentlo pills, wlhich impart strength io the body, while they rmllove 11all imhealtly 1 ecretionls. Tho IAo'aung of Citizens. .he lmletilg of the ciizens. of Flairfield, held onl Moiday list, was in all res1ect's it Siccess. 'Ile alt teidance was ullexpectedly full, con sidering the extremely bad veather, and though inl mmibers tlhero were fewor present lumthal would have eeln the caso under more favorable cir cm1llstances, yet we noticed that there wvere relireseltatives from all tle diff'erent sectiolls of the coIulty. The mecetilg was called to order by Gen. John Brittoii, Presidenlt of the DelocratCic County)' Club, who, in stating the purpose of the meet ing. spoke in ;ubstanvice as follows At the last meeting of the cmo cratic County Club, it was thought advisable that there should b e a meeting of the citizens oT F'airfield county, to give expression to their views im the 'prescnt gravo conjunc tire of our State aflairs. There are now two governmentts in South Carolina--the one established at tihe ballot-box an1d the other upheld by the Power of time bayonet. The pur pose of this lieeting is that the people of Fairfieid shall say which of these they will suppold, in I to make knowl ti Oir decisiol t.) their chosen lead2r:n Columibia. Gov. H unlpton should at once hItvo (cr' nin 1oriation as to the iltentions of the people. If le truly represen ts thei, he should be sustained ill his present lpositioll, an1d he should know it on1ce where the people stanl1d in the matter. It is colcied on all sides that the great que."tionl 1ow agitating tIhe Illilids of the people of South Carolina muilst ulitimately be determined at Waushington, nd peldillg such deiiSion the people must take sollic action lookinig to the mlailtenlance of their own elioret governmen t. In the rIecenit calm-, paign, the Denmocrats of South Carolina organized within the strongholds1 of the Constitn tiol. They had to lmlailtain) the Constitution and keep with till its lilies. They wer the oily p' servers of iLw andi order in thie State. The State government did alil ml its poweVr to pr'omioto dIisCci wrhile the struggling D~emocrats re mained steadfast within~ the lines~ of the Constitlution, and Ipleser~ved thet pub~lic peace. They stand there to-day. Tile 0110 great quesxtion before the people of Sonth1 Catrolin~a is wvhether they will mlaintain the Constitu tionall govrnlimenit, or het it go dowvn under tile power of tile bayonet. This mleetinig is nOt of a political party, but of the people without 1 egard to party lilnes or political pre ferences. Iln conlu~sionl, G elneral Br'atton moved that Judge Wmn. R. toimert son be called to the chair. The miotionl was p)ut to tile meletinig anid unanimously carried. On motion, Capt. RI. S. Desportes anfd Mr. Jn1o. S. Reyinols wvere requested to act as secretaries. On taking tile chair, Judge Rob ertson expressed his app~reciation of the honor done him b~y the meeting, anld then spoke substantially as fol lows: It is a matter of agreeable sur prise that there is so large an at tendance upon01 th8in meeting Con sidering~ th exreel Cna oab wetaher and othmer dilicultics, it is quite encouralging that so many of the citizens of Fairfield have ga~ther - ed togethler to give expression to their views on thle present state of affairs. It is needless to enlargo upon01 what tile County Chlairman has sid upon01 the subject before thle meoetinig. The purlpos0 of the meet,. ing is to furthler the good cause for whlichl tile people labored so hm ardi in then camlpaignI, anmd to atdd to tihe good work lread(y (lone. H-ampton wais fairly elected, amnd legally inauilgura, ted. To is government alone do the peolple owe their allogiance, andi to him11 alone, asi governor (10 they owe obedicucoe. Thlough by their action they do no more thlan bring about a propore pulbl ic sen timnen t, the end wvill sooner or lator be0 accomn plished. The Chamberlain usurpa.. tioni will soon be completely para lyzed. '1h11 peoplo muist decide between the two. We (10 not aind cannot recognize Chanmberlain as governor; and1( time great question is, How can we sustain Hlampton ? One wvay of sustaining him is to go to the meetings and proclaim that not one0 cent of trib~ute will we pay to the Chamnberlain government. [Ap.. plause.] The government cannot get oni without monecy--withhiold that, and the Cihamnberlain usurpa tion falls to the ground. Chamber lain's so-called government has been virtually declared by the Supreme Court of tihe State to be no govern ment at all, and any tax levied by it may be successfully resisted through the courts. The people will be sus tained by the courts. To pay to Chamberlain is to take a great risk of having to pay over again, .while, if we pay to Hampton, we not only . State, but, make a part payluent of our regular taxes. Thu people should speak out inl in.ass imieetings, and mako it known thet, t hey will not support the Chamberlain gover 11 ment in (iny whatever. T dtono, his pretended government 'Is to the grounid. Whenl Cong resf, does act, it will certainly declare in favor of the Hampton government. Tho House Committee has said already that hle w1s fairly clected, and the Senato Comunitteo cannot fairly reach at different conclusion. The chairman then annonned the Illeeting opn1l for blsilless. Col. Jamies H. 1itn offered the follow-ing preamble and resolu tions: Ier/IePafs, the Suprelmel Court of this St:ato has soleillily deci~led that. the Wdllace House of Reupresenta tives s 1 legal bOdv according to the requirel'ents of the Conlstitua tion, alli it follows as a lQvecS::u-v legal and logical corollary that the tato goveimne)t kiownIl 1s the lHamiiptoni Government is alone legal nid constitutional ; and t(hat the claims of (hanberain and his con ftlerates alre founde u1poll usur11 patjoln ind unconsfititutional force /.'cso/er/, 'hat we, the citizens of Fairlfield, pledge our.elves by every lawful llealis to aid and supporlt the am lallpton govermuilient, and ill 11o way to recognize or sustin the usrpa tion of Ciamberlain and his co-con spirators. -JResto/red, ThaLt wo deem it not oIly the part of patriot-isll but of self-interest for Overy citizen cheer fully and p.oiptly to respold to tile call of Governor Hampton and the Wallace H-ouso of Recpresentative, for a pre-payment of ono -tenth of the aiount of the last tax by theimi p)aid for State an11d county pulposes. J 1eso/red, That any taxos paid to the Chalberlain usurpatiol would be an aiding and abetting of the unlIwfiul conspiracy in which 110 is engared 1, anll lnlawful paynlent, and aI (onlSequent loss of the amount paid. JResolr(d, That we give our hearty ConlCurelc(0 with, and approval of, the resolitions adopted by the County Club at its nietinig held on the 23d day of December last. JReso/ed, That we call but express 0111 aidimiration of the manner in w hich tihe Sulprmemc Court of this State 1has disregarded lparlisal influ eices, fld decided according to the verv right upon the grave questions: involvNing the existence of constitu tional g.,overnmient which it has had litely before it ; thus exhibiting to tie whole nation an example of judicial integi ity as worthy of imi. tatiou 1as it is exceptional in thesoe times of blind party zeal. If the voice of the people expressed ill the callse of right, be the voice of God. mu(h m11 0nore cnn the righteoos deis ion1 of a court of justico e d oeclared and1( reognized as the voice of the Great Judioge. JRe.'ql,'d, That we recommencld to all true Souith Carolinians patiently to await the development of events, with ain ab idin1g confidence ill tihe w'isdom of H~amp~lton and1 his condlju tors, tile integrity of our judiciary, and tihe goodness of that Power which presidea over the dlestiny of General Br'atton suggested that before tihe preamlie and resolutions; be0 submitted to ai vote, tihe mneetinlg should have becfore it tihe a(dress of Governor H:ampt on, on' ihe subject of contr'ibultions5 to malintahin the Con sti tuti onal Government. The~ Secretary then readl tihe ad dIress, 11s pubhlished inl tihe last issulo of TuHE.Ns.ws Axn HIEI.:An. Col. Rlion, ill supplor't of his roe lultionls, ma~lde a spooerb of" soino0 length, in whlich 1h0 reviewed thle actionl of tihe Rad(icals5 in Columbia from tile first step of tile Board of Canvassiers to tile pretended or ganization of the Mackey House5 on the one 1hand( and th1e la1wful organuia tion of tile Wallace H-oulse on tile other, atnd tile decision of the Su prema Court aflirming the legality of tihe latter. Ho thlen p)roceededd as follows: IAs to tihe legality of tile inlaugura tion of Hampllton and1( Simlpson there can be but a single qJulestion ri'soFId -whether, there not having bcon a mlajority of tile Senate present, that inaulgurationl wasR valid. On this point the deisions arie all one waiy. It is (dooided thalt whlere at consltitul tional provisionl is made, giving a 1b0(1y certain privilcges, all such p)rivilegos' mulst be used(, nlot to prtoent, but to further tihe acts pro vi led in tihe constitution. Now tihe presence of thle Senate at tihe declaring of tile votes for governor and lieutenan t-govoinlor is a1 privi logo accorded to tile Senators under the Constitution. Thmey cannlot thlerefore, obstruct 01r (delay tihe inuuaion of governor ando lietenntgovernor by absenting thomlselves from thle House of Rep reselltattivos whlen the vote is do0 clared by3 the Speaker. The declaration of thle vote for Governor Hampton and Lieutenanlt-Governrl~ Simpson wvas iust as valid as if all the Senators had been presenit. On tile otheor hland, thle Mackey Hous15 under took to reject the votes of two counties. They had, poor devils, to count ithOmlselves ill 80om1 way, and they wvent to figuring. The3' had to say thlat fifty-nine members constituted a majority of one hundred and twenty-four. But they couldn't say that a number of votes twelve hundred larger was inideed the smaller. This was too steep. So tihey hard to strike out Fagosleld and hiLaurons. But Cham Judge WrigIt of the SIIr)).II Court delloliced is i hig h-lu ied outrage. The Situpreio Court. Il d alreaidv leied that the Mackey House was not ia legal body.
