WINNSBORO, S. 0. Saturday, September 8, : 1877. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. 8, REYNOLDS, Associate Editor. The Death of Thiers. Ex-Presidont Thiors, of France, diod on the 4th instant, at an ex treino olI age. Ho appoared por foctly well in the morning, but after lunchoon :was seized with an apo. plectic fit, from whichi he died in the Mftornoon. The ovo'it has produced a profound impression in Franco. M. Thiers was universally respected and beloved, and thousands shod toars at his death. Moreover, the prosont political crisis, by his doath, is regarded as a calamity. In him were centred the hopos of the Ro - publicans who oppoted the mon archical and clerical proclivitics of McMahon. The party is now at sea, having no acknowledged leader. Ganibetta is most prominent, but is rather too extreme, being now under trial for having, in a political spoch, invited McMahon to stop downl and out. M. Grovy is also montioned as the possible leader of the Republi cans. President McMhon has issued 'orders to solemnizu the obsequies of the docoasod statesman and writer with groat pomip. The nation will pay the exponscs of the burial. Our New Officials. 'Our new officials scaroo neod an introduction to the people. Mr. Kerr is a.younlig man, a one arnied Confederate soldier, intelli. gent, educated, and courteous. He possesses all the <pialifications necessary to dischargo the duties of clerk of court. And it is needless to say that one who has, When occasion demanded it, bound his armloss sleeve to the ploughs,handlo and guided the ploughsharo in the furrow to make a crop for the sup. Tort of himself and his family, will be industrious in his public office. -CAptain Hiinnant, who received the unanimous vote of the county for commissioner, will make a good officer. He is practical, and ho too has displayed energy in following the plough daily on his wooden leg. Mr. I. E. Ellison, Sr., is genial -and competent. lie has had long experience in public duties, and is wvell fittod to direct the delibera.. tions of the board. Cornelius RI. Means is a young colored man, a native of the county, and enjoys more than an average education among the people of his color. He is honest and trustworthy, and bears a firstr-rate charactor among those who know him. Hoe has never before taken part in 6 politics, except to join a Hlamp ton Club last fall. Hie will do credit to his race. WVooDRUFF AND JIoNEs_having (dis~ gorged their plunder, have -gono north. Some persons are disposed to grant immunity to any of theo Radical ring thieve& who may sur, rendor their ill-gotten gains. This is straining the quality of mercy too far. These scoundrels robbed the *pepeope openly, and then took the very money they had stolen and bought up conventions so that they - night have the power to steal more. II INot only this, but in order to pr o long their power, tbey arrayed race II against race, and instigated murder, assassination, rape and arson. Shall ~f 1 they purchase immunity from out raged justice at this time by simply hi ~ restoring a. part of their stoalings ? Were they to make restitution of every cent, with interest compound ed, that would not blot out their crimes. Should the practice proe vail of suffering every captured thief ~ I to go s'cot free on a simple restitution of unexpended stealings, thou the aw would be stripped of its terrors. Not only should the State seize these villains by the throat and shako the last dollar out of thorn, but it should, in addition, slap them al into the -penitentiary at hard labor, for a long term of years. Then the dofrandad taxpayers emo begin to fool that their wrongs have been avenged. In tho category of those who made knavery a fine art, nono shino more conspicuous than thoso twin relies of Radicalism, Woodruff and Jones. In the name of every citizen of South Carolina, who has lost a dollar through the rascali ty of those thievos, wo demand that they be put on trial before God and their country. Should they be ab sent in October their bonds should be forfeited, and bench warrants should issue to every Stato in the Union for their arrest. "No comlpro mie with scoundrels!" should be the watchword of tie Deiocracy. Victory ! The Democrats. on tile 4th, achieved a victory. It was a glori, ous victory, a bloodless victory, a perianont victory. The devil is dead. Radicalism is snotchod. African supremacy is forever cnded, the high carnival of crime is at an end. Fairfield is free! Glory enough for one day. The credit is due to the good poo plo of the county. They registered a vow on the seventh of last Novem bor that Rad;calisi should never win another election in this county, that this is a white imall's country; and that the guiding hand of the Caucasian should be -,een il all matters pertailling to ils govern ance. AWhen he ldicals impudent ly put a ticket in tile field, overy Democrat rex.olved himself into a commnittee of ore to thrash out that ticket. That tile attem)t was a success could be read in tle lineamnents of overy Radical in thei comit, on the morning of the 5th. A good deal was heard about "sorcheads." It is tiue a considera ble number were disappointed, for where llore than one caldidate runs, all mIen cannot have their re spectiv chuices nominated, but whenl the question becamo one of Democratic or Radical supremacy, all minor considerations were dropped, and the whites of Fairfield stood as they always have, and always will, shoulder to shoulder, each fearing Ohat some other might be before him ill the conflict. "Sore heads" were a precious scarce com modity on election day. Great credit is due to tile large number of colored personis who openly13 votcd the Democratic ticket. Disgusted with their Radical leaders they hlad tile good sense to ally thomselves withl tile intelligence of the country. They will be remem bered. On tile other hland, those who still, from stup)id greed for oflice, or rancorous hlate of the whito race, clung to tile old Radical hulk, wvill be rcmembllered, and remembered tile more easily b)ecause the number is fast diminishing. Tile party lash has no longer any terrors, and tile mnasses are deserting thleir self%con stituted loaders in shoals. On those who are stupid enough to b)0 the last to leave the sinking ship, tho vengeance will fall. If they do0 not propose to conciliate the white maln, they cannot seek Liberia too soon. (Except Smith, and1 the sooner lhe leaves for Rhlodo Island, the better.) The result of the election on Tuesday will do much to discourage any organized Radical opposition iln future. DemOcratic supremacy is assured. Trho peO.plo can wvell afford now to go to work and ad vance tihe material prosperity of tile county. Labor should be organiz ed, and generoucly treated. Tile negroes Imust be disabused of the idea that their material interests wvill be injured by white rule. The well disposed colored man should be kindly treated. The hearty supl) p ort tendered the colored candidate for county commissioner proves that the whites do not draw the color line. Ehe isince the opening of the campaign in April, 1876, Fairfield has been the scene of continued political agitation. She can now afford to rest. Lot tile people lay aside their political armor and botake themselves to the plough share. But let them never forget that they are Domoornts, nor over fail to step up solidly to the polls whenovor oncnainn dnmands. A Mr.irA COMANY IN LucK.-The Emperor of AiustiAi, bin ug on apprisue of tho existeneu of tin Austrian military coilnmany inl Sanl .'ranclsco, and vishing to make them an appropriate gift omblematic of their nationality, desired them, thro,ugh his Consul in this city, to solect a suitable uniform for its members, to be furnished at his expense. The company mot accord ingly and decided upon the adoption of the beautiful uniform of the Imperial Jaegors of Vienna. Tho Emperor has boon advisxA of their choice, and the complete outfit for on0 hundred and fifty mon is ox - pected to arrive from Austria in about two mlonthis.--ma Frawnc0isco Cron icle. A FRIEND's Curricis.-ThO Los Angeles, California, J/ertd says: "One of the humorous sidelights of the campaign reaches us by the way of Anaheim. A speakor of the Democratie rally was making a few remarks on the persouel of the Republican candidates. On of the gentlemen disissed happoned to he there with his wifo. The latter was very restive at the refor onces to her husband. Sho plucked him by the sleeve and asked him Why ho (ldn't got up and answer tihe speaker. 'Pshaw, my dear,' said he, 'it is a friend of mino that is talking now. Wait till you hear one of my enemies.' Tim NEw TowN HALL AT AYER. This elegant structuro is now com plete. In beauty of design it sur [HaSCS aInytLthinIg of the kind in the Stato. Constructed of brick and Jark marble, it is as pormanont as it is charming. The English archi tects havo adorned it in subdued "olors, which please without tiring the eye. Dr. J. C. Ayer built and gave it to the town in acknowledg, mnt of the distinction they confer red upon him in taking his lale. Although it is a generous gift, still tho hearty good wishes of a wholo p)col)le are of greater value, and the enerous donor has doubtless so un-ed them.--Uroton (MIass.) ,mr - Wal.
