@The fjhuus and ienitd WINNSBORO, 8. C. Saturday, March 3, 1877. It. MEANS DAVJS, Editor, JNO. 8. REYNOLDS, Associate Editor. A, Walhngton telegran says, "Cbamberlain 'will be adlvised to 'coignpl e )fogylature, have the vote canvassed, and Hampton do elaied. governor. This is thought to be the 'moat 'agreeable settlement of the dilfculty." Tihe inMug'ira'ti'o' of Hayes in the city which bears the name of Wash ington, and the fact that L owes his position to the frauds of Madi Pon Wells, place in strong contrast the early and the latter days of the Republic. The bulldozing of Justice Wright will not help the Chamberlain crew. The failure of the two Justices to agree dbes'not in ary way affect the fact that Hamptou roecived a majori ty of the votta cast at the Nov i')er oledtion, iand is therefore the legally chosen governor of South Carolina. Ibde New York herald does not think that any member of the Ele: toral Commission will accept a Cabi not p )sition from H tyos, ns this would not lio in 'accordance with propriety. None of the immortal Eight have at yet evinced the slight est regard for propriety, or even decency. Three Radiral newspapers have given up the, ghost in Florida since the inaugurtion of Drew. The New Orleans Republican appears semi. occaIiOnally'oily ; while the Union - ferald is reported to he in. articuo molts. The "starve 'em out policy" is working well, Coning events cast their ahadows before. The Radical leaders w' Boon follow their organw. The ReM 'Phoebe Hanaford has been dejlied from, the pulpit of the f!irst Universa id4 Cliiire in Jerey City after having beeipastor for oventwo 'ears. The fact that all }tn l mr1 Ic'y'.r1I" 1:e,'Yvl(Ytl~ei8''Aales "1ere udnit' moius for her expJiemn, creates a iurilsa that she might have been too'successful an evangelist of the r,orpel of k-ve. P1 ceho holds the fortihowever, and will form a second chuich in the same city. 'A Bulldozed yudge. The long-expected decision of the Supreme Cour t on the gubernatori.. al question has not yet been made We extract from the Columbia Regier df the 2nd inst. the follow ing W&couibt of thie action of the Co ui:-. The air wns full of tuimors last DigbI4about the anticillated decision of tlog Supremie Court in the Tilda Nor3xs 4ab'eas corpus case, which is looked for to-day. One rumor was to the ee'ect that Wright had con curred with Justice Willard. and tha*.a decision would be reached to--day, declaring Governor Hamp-. ton, the lawful govem nor of the State. , AnoTher and later one was, that alter Wright had concurred inl the denision,uirrived at by Justice Willard, he hadh filed a dlissenting opunn und left the city immediately thelleater. We give those rumno; only *eowe heard themny and do not vough for any of them. The matter wil31Je deeled in some way to-day in the Siipreme Court after which we W4igiveiour coimments and a histiory of what we know of the ras. cality which has been practised to corspel Justice Wright to violate his toathi Qofelece and render a decis ion-econtrary to his coknvictions and Ius~.co teio of the law. Slhie *rfting the above, we have obtehed 'Pogeession. of the docui moenltdhh we amppenmd below. The presence of Bowen, Worthington and Gileav s. i the city, and their const~iitiisociat ion with Wright, an~4hn generally known character of Aeime, as iwell as the notoridue ly MhhIetfMt that they have bull'. dozed Wright into submission .to their will-by wine, by threats, and by1 %deial m i -leaves n d t Wbijth~ fisite of the peole ha they ha4e accomplished the ,boior-which they camne to Coum i. This base. trio have, alonga wtb the Associate Justice, oft the city. . At a l1 hourlaat zTight, it was Willard w Mel'ft'tte "storf from,tlW bebeh--to day at noon-the hour at'whi3h the or im s to 4seni tle. The following documents, however, will do th't without the aid of the sterling Willard's words, which will be listened to by so many people to-day : Supreme Court-exe parte Tilda Ste phens, alias Tilda Norris. It is ordered .hat the relator be discharged from the custody of the superintendent of the pe.nitentiary. A. J. WLLARuD, A. J. Presid ibg. I concur in the above. 3. J. WaronT, A. J. This order was mado 27th Febru ary, 1877. Wright yesterday filed with Mr. Boozer the following memorandum, together with his last opinion "Having attached my name to an order discharging the petitioner in this case on the 27th day of February, 1877, after more mature deliberation, believing that the order should not have been made, I now ereby revoke, recall and can cel said ord r, so I tr as my signature may have given it eanetion and suIi.lstitnto the foregoing opin-. ion in its stead. J. J. Wiour." Gen. Kerslia-.v's Position. 1iditore Columii a Register . The purport of a few remarks ad dressed by m to the people of Lan caster, at i meeting of the citizens as sembled there on the 11th February, has been misrepresented in a re ported interview between Judge Mackey and a correspondent of the New York herald, and as it has appeared in your columns, I beg the privilege of making the correc tion. Thme meeting was called to heir Judge Mackey's account of his visit to Mr. Hayes, and after hearing from him assurimeos of the most positive charateor that Mr. Hayes would be declared elected, and that the Domnocratts of the South might assure themselves that his adminis tration would be just and kindly to the South, I was called out by the meeting and addressed them briefly. I expressed my pleasure at hear ing the cheering assurances so sol e:nnly given by Judge Mackey of the kindly purposes of Mr. Hayes, and expressed my confidence in those assurances. That as an Amorican citizen, I felt humiliated and abamsedthat the American Con, gress, tho great Legislative Council of the country, should have felt itself compelled to confess before time world that it was too partisan and corrupt to ascertain fairly the required by the constitution, but having so confessed, they had per h1ps done the next best thing when they constituted a Commission that h'ad received the confidence of the country. That I did not doubt that it would fai- ly decide the question, and that it must. therefore, declare Mr. T'dden elected. I begged to assure the Republicans predsent that in that event thme rights and interests of all honest citizens wvould be main - tained, and the glory and honor, the peae, ropertyand happiness of th onry prooted by his wise, just and benelicent administration. That if, after a fair hearing and in ves tigaitioni, the Comanmission should decide in favor of Mr. H-ayes, I for one wvould acquiesce in the decision. That peace wvas of all things moss necessary to our plell, and war most 'to be deprecated, and I believ ed civil war was the only alternative. This is the very substance and sense of my remarks upon the subject on the occasion referred to. My hopes ap)pear* now to have been disappoint ed,.and I tind myself, wvith the ma jority of the American people, a victim of nslalced confidence, as I have often been. The Commiission has not determined fairly and justly, judleirdly, as I expected. J. B. KEIsHAW. A Negro Watch Meeting The New York Sun has a long ac., count of a negro watch meeting some wvhere in the South, and it contains a most extraordinary sermon, from which the following extracts are made: I'll tell you a little allegoric or speech by do figger'. Truth and Lie started ou t for to trabble. They stopped to drink at de ribber ob Jordan. r.uth wos thinking no svil, b)ut Lie pushed him, and he fell in andl was drowned. Lie got .out, stole Truth's boots, 'and, meetin' a cullud pusson who was rootin' round whar he had no business, en tered into him and sot up his habita tion. So Lie has lowed to dwell along wid cnllud folks ever since. It's my bisness, to pint out dlese thiings to Sense you of de tricks of do debble. Lie den sowed his seeds among us cullud folks.

I neber. beard dit Dannel et drunk, but Scriptor tells us Noah was shy of water, kept a bottle of Loosianner ruin under his bed. Some colored proachers say Noah woe de 'casion of we black filks in dies wise: Noah had one gal clild named Cane Anny, a sassy dissipated gal, wlid would steal her daddv's bottle wheni lie won asleep and drink his rum. He kotch her one day tipsy and makin' a spectacle of herself. Do ole man cussed her good fashion till she turned right black in do face. I don't pend much on dat, kate it can't be proved Cane Ann's head got kinky. No, my 'pinion is colored folks is do most wonderful produo tion of nature--dey growed jis so. I axes, who made dew ? When ivas dey made, and wh ir ? Nobod answers.
