Zile ? u.rt 'c~~t WINNSBORO, S. 0. 'Tuesday, May 8. 1877, B. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associate Editor. The Augusta Chroriclo and Con stitutionalist is an inprovement on the papers from which it sprang. A number of the Mackoyitos, like the Peri, are still standing disconso lato at the gates of their Heaven, the State House. Austria proclaims strict neutrality between the Czar and the Sultan. The Khedivo of Egypt furnishes Turkey twelve thousand troops. The only advance of any import ance made by either the Russians or the Turks is the advance in Amnori ,can ginger cakes. We confidently oxpdt sassafras beer to go up next. The extra session of Congress will not be called until Octobor 15th. Hayes desires to give his nursling, the now party, time to crawl. The platform of the new Hayes 'anti-Solid-South-Whig--Republican party.4s embraced in one word huvibug. The usury law has passed its second reading in the Sonato. This is equivalent to a final passage. The House will agree to it without doubt. The rate of interest fixed in the bill is not given. Parson Brownlow just before his death announced a preference for Wade Hampton as president over any Northern Democrats And yet this, coming from the Parson, was not muwh of a compliment to Gover nor Hampton, after all. Mrs. Sallie Pelham McCaw has iboon appointed postmistress of .Greenville. Mrs. McCaw is the daughter of the late C. P. Pelham, .Esq., and widow of the late W. H. McCaw, who at the time of his death was the most brilliant journalist in the State. The appointment is a most admirable one. The evil effects of the war in Europe are already making them selves felt hero. Provisions of all kinds are higher, and flour has ad vanced fifty per cent. in the North ern markets. Things have come to a pretty pass wvhen an American citizen has to go without supper * whenever the Czar sees fit to scnd a 'six-syllabled general to bombard an 'unpronounceable Turkish towni. As it is a fact, we advise our readers to ;plant largely of provisions. We Must Act as a Unit. We regret that Senator Gary saw fit in the Senate, a few days since, to 'oppose .the Admrinistration in re ~gard 'to the election oif chief justice. Senator Gary stated strong personal reasons why he should not support Judge Willard, and of this we lmnvo II ~ nothing to say. But at the precsen~t time, as the Democratic p)arty' has 'not yet seated itself firmly in power, it is too early for divisions to spring uip among its component elements. ~The party must continue to act as it 'II' ihas acted since the August Conven,. ~tion, RBsa unit. The Senator's ex - I 'pressed doteinmination that he will under no circumstances support ~I Judge Willard, is an intimatki that he -will notibe bound iby the will of tLhe majority. The only safety of the party'lies in caucus, and the { people who compose the party do., snand that for the pxresent their rep resentatives shall lay aside aN per ional feelings for the common good. Judge Willard *as by no means our thoiee for chief justico. But reliance for sagacity seem to believe pis e prom wore topuruon agree with Senator Gary in the gonoral proposition that one bruanch of goverment should not dictate to another. But this is ai special case, and we feel assured that Governor iampton would not havo indicated a 'preference for Judge Willard were it not thmathe deemslhis election abso.. .lutely necessary for the success of 4ho governor's policy. It is not be the candidate of tho Democrats. But we demand, for the people, that the Democratic members of the Legislature enter into caucus and select a candidate, and then solidly support the person indicated by tho caucus. Senator Gary is able to accomplish much for the State. Wo trust that he will reconsider his determination and resolve to act with the Adiniiuis tration and the majority of the party.
