The announcement which was made iu (he daily papers yesterday of liis withdrawal and the cause of it was a ureal surprise to many South Carolinians. It was pretty generally the opinion that he stood a good chance of being in the second race and liis friends believed (hat if lie were in the sccotkt nice that he would he I iiitcd Slates senator. A loin; with I liis announcement of w K lidra\v;il comes (lie* aiinounccmcur from .Mayor Illicit, of Charleston, thai he has entered the race for the senate and it tln'refore leaves the same uiuuher of eaudidales. I'lie situation al present ts snmewlial uusetlled ami no one can undertake lo predicl what I he result XV'H he. We should think, however, thai I lie withdrawal of (lov. TTevw ard Would increase the chances very materially for I lie success of ' o|. Johnstone. Many <?r Mr. "ffeyward's friends were likewise friends ol ('ol. <loli list one. The campaign will open next week and after the li'-sl meeting or two and when J lie people understand just what plattorm will he announced the voters will hegiu to align lliemselvis and the candidates will he ahle to from some opinion of their chances. AI every court ol general sessions there are a number of cases for vlolalion ol I lie lii|iior law and these cases lake up a good deal of the lime and cost i lie count ies considerable money, ll would be a g 1 idea to have the law amended so that these cases might he tried bet ore the magistrates. h is true ft would lessen the punishment, but justice could be more speedily meted out and if the parlies persisted in breaking the law they could be more frequently dealt with.

Snyder should accept ili,. presidency of (he Soulli Carolina Cuivci-sity it will be fortunate for the university. In fact 'II ot the men whose names were mentioned in connecfiou with the presidency would have filled I he position with credit to themselves. Tl i'i doubl fill, however, if Dr. Snvder will accept. Wot lord is doing ;i great work under lus leadership and I lie Methodists will slronglv urge him to remain with the institution. None ol the gentlemen whoso names were mentioned in connection wilh the presidency of the South Carolina Cnivcrsil\ were in anv sense applicants for the position and it is proper that positions of Ibis kind should seek the men rather than the men seek the positions. Tn tact some of them fn answering the inquiries from the friends of the University had positively stated that they could not give *tp the work in which they, were engaged to accept (lie position. We understand that this was the case with President Scherer of Newberry college. His work hero is growing to such exleot and is just now beginning to bear fruit that it would !)( a great misfortune if he were to leave and when the question was put to him he replied promptly mid formally that he could not think of leaving Newberry at this time. These consecrated men at the head nl these denominational colleges are doing a greater work and more good possibly than they could at the head of n State institution. THE NEWS OF PROSPERITY.

Tl is understood that for days the former (loveriior has held out strenu| ortsly against the positive dictum of j his physicians that he shall lake an ( absolute rest for several months, but lit has been known to his most int i mate Iriends for two or three weeks that Governor Hey ward's health was in a precarious condition.

Johnstone has been in main sections of South Carolina during tin past several weeks, and wherever In has been he has received assurance* of support which are most encouraging. These assurnuecs of support have come without an active cam paign so far on the part of Mr Johnstone.
