c;he eJluj crnd jea1l WINNSB1ORO, S. C. Thursday, March 22, 18.: :.77. A. MRANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. d. 'RfNOtI2), Associate Editor. Little ..yi0iam. Stone is rolling back and forth between the, Senate and the Presidents. As a. rolling Stone is . commonly reported as "gathering no moas," it is to- be hoped that he will not "feather his nest" with the District Attorneyship. Ben Hill, it is said, is advocating the appointment of Foster Blodgett as Marshal for Georgia. Foster loft that State a few years ago with an unsavory odor clinging to his skirts. What motive Senator Hill has in advocating him is not known here ; but Ben is a sly fox and must be desirous of "loading" the new administration. If all repprts are true, Blodgett would indeed be a load. Postmaster General Key has writ ten a letter to Senator Merrimon, of North Carolina, stating that where vacancies occur in the mail service in the' South, Republicans will have the preference ; but that where no fit persons of 'that faith can be found, then the Democrats will re. ceive consideration. The same old story. It is to be hoped, however, that Mr. Key will be somewhat more fastidious than his radical predecos' sors. Mr. Hayes wants time. He does not appear to have so decided a policy by far as was claimed for him before his inauguration. The path of duty is not near so easy to pursue as he he thought, and Mr. Hayes halts, before obstacles. He informed so 11 gentlemen who inter torviewed him that he deemed the filling of vacancies a matter of more importance than the settlement of the Soutar Carolina and Louisiana disputes, and that the former must first be disposed of. This is rather a remarkable --,view to entertain, to say the least of it. Postmasters and collectors should be made to wait. "Preserving the Status Quo." By a grim piece of irony, the gar risoning of the State House is called "preserving the status quo." It is not a maintenance of ne utrality, but an active interposition in behalf of Chamberlain. To be sti ictly im partial, the troops should prevent Chamberlain from entering the State House as well as excluding the rightful executive, Governor Hampton. What guarantee have' the people of South Carolina that i' the Radical usurpers of the offices iui the State H ouse are preserving the archives of the Commonwealth, or that, when ordered to vacate, they will not burn, mutilate or do stroy themi The troops are merely acting as obstructions to the lawful - administration of government, not as custodians of property. We be lieve that while President Hayes is bending his mighty intellect to the solution of the problem, he should at least turn the key in the lock of the State House door and deposit it in Col. Black's or Gen. Ruger's * breeches pockdt until such time as he decides who has the right to carry it. An irresponsible set of linavres and aliens, calling themselves State officials, and an irresponsible gang * ~ of vagrants and footpads, calling themselves constabulary, have free access to all the valuable propertg of the State; while the people are compelled to sit idly by until Presi dent Hayes can read all the petitionm for the appointment of postmasteri at Oshkosh or Michilimackinack and be interviewed by committees o: "'God-in-the-Constitution" leaguei and "Touch-not-taste-not-handle-.not anything-but-sweet-cider" anmalga. mated associations. This is a beiautiful condition o affairs, in the spring of the firsi year of the second century of Ameri can libetty; andit is but natura that thagos gfte State,wh have shupanr ge the paisilo him. all out of sight for Vatience, should at last become impatient and osive. The faoty, the& eqldi9r -fin the - State House are intruders and tres passers. They have no warrant for occupying the Capitol. If adpowev tic inAurrection does.exist in. the State, the Legislature bps notapplied to the President for assistance. Chamberlain, even if he were gov ernor has not made proper applica, tion for the military. How would it do, in case Hayes persists in continuing military occui pation of the State House, for Gov-. ernor Hampton to send some such message to Washington as this: EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, COLUMBIA, S. C. J "President Hayes, Washington, D. C. DEAR Sin :--Tho people of South Carolina wish their State House, which is now used as an asylum for vagrants and outlaws. I propose to clean out the gang there and take possession of it next week. I see a few individuals:within the building who wear your 'livery, and who may belong to you. Perhaps it would be better to have them sent for and taken away, as they may get hurt, if they remain there. Very respect fully, &c., WADE HAMPTON, Governor South Carolina." This might have the effect of re manding the Oshkosh postmasters and the Sweet cider committees to the rear, so that President Hayes could have an opportunity of re flecting and discovering how ridicu.. lous a figure he presents with all his high sotuidings protestations and masterly inactivit. It begins to appear that some decisive action may be necessary to bring this farce called the "status quo" to an end. The damage by the gale in New York City and harbor on Friday is estimated at nearly $100,000. D.uring the year 1876 the United States yielded 420,000,000 pounds of rosin. VEGETINE Strikes at the root of disease by purifying the blood, restoring the liver and kidneys to healthy action, invigorating the nervous system. Vegetine Is not a vile, nauseous compound, which simply purges the bowels, but a safe, pleasant remedy which is sure to purify the blood, and thereby restore the health. Vegetlne Is now prescribed in eases et Sorofula and other diseases of the bl. od, by many of the best physicians. owing to its great success in curing all diseases of this nature. Vegetine Does not deceive Invalids into false hopes by purging and orenting a fictitions appe tite, but assista nature in clearing and purifying the whole system, leading the patient gradually to perfect health. Vegetie, Says a Boston physicion "hlas no equa as a blood purnner. Hearing of its many wonderful cures, after all other remedies had failed, I visited the laboratory and convinced myself of its genuine merit. It is prepared from barks, roots and herbs, each of which is highly effective, and they are compounded In such a manner as to produce astonishing results." Vegetne Is acknowled god and recommended by physicians and apothecarles to be the best purifier and cleanser of the blood yet dliseovered, ai~d thousands speak in its praise who have been restored to health.
