WINNSBORO, S. U. Tuesday, December 18, : 1877. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associnto Editor. GENERAL G~ARY elaims the credit of having revived tho usury law. Tmn-,, NEWS AND 1-ERiAlDi), wo beliove, was tho first paper in the State to suggest tho adoption of tho Moffott boll punch. Con31N IIA4 hid a potition pro sontod in the Sonato for a con sidoration of his caso on its merits. Corbin's chock is incomparable. Ho had bottor bo referred to the criminal courts. COLLINs, llo1ublical, has defeated Col. Wim. Elliott for Senator from Boanfort county by 1700 majority. The Deiocrats expoeted no opposi, tion and wero caught napping. This iis a iDenocratic gain of 3800. GENEn.I jles Due, tho United Staltes coluiiissioner of agriciltlure, seems to be very onergetic, and is dotormlineld to perform tho finc tions of his oflico. If lie (can1 sies ceed in introducing prolliably the cultivation of ten, he will have added immensely to the resources of South Carolina. It in truo Prsidennit Hayes appeirs to be wavering from tho faith, and that he no longer pur suos a straight policy. The hot firo be recoived from the rear has some what dorlaiolIlize'l himi). If, however, he should abandon every advanced and liberid principle lie has hereto. fore advocated, and should relapso into the bosomn of his party, he would be doing not more than moro, ly sinking to the low level of all the Rtadical leaders. Assume that he oxortel his influence in behalf of Corbin and Kellogg, how Can the Democrats aid Conkling and Ed munds and Blaine in makin; war on him, . Will the Deilocrats add -weight to tho forco exerted, by Conk ling and Company to mako Hayes back down from his Southern policy? The bloody shirt Radicals are prov.. ing immnasurably stronger than that small faction of liberal Repub licans of which tho President is the leader. Tho true par,ty policy of the Democrats, even if no hiighecr motive inlluencedl them, would be to bolster up the wveak wving of the ones~ my until the whole opposing party ore hupo1)lebsly split. But to help) Conkling to masch Hayes is but to heap) up trouble for the D)emocrats in future. If by the aid of the D)emocra ts, thle Hayes wing prevail, a general contest in 188() will not be marked by bitterness. But hot Conkling once Iore get to the fore, with Grant as his candidate, and the bittenost contests yet wit' nossed will bo waged. Sectionalism will once more assume gigantic pro portions. And the South (loes not want any more of that. While Hayes may be a backslider, the bloody shirt leaders are incor rigiblo sinners, wh1o have inover made an.offorL to repent. They have run a straight conrs of malignity from the beginning, and they propose to continue in this line, for in this is their only skill. The Democratic Senators, therefore, Cockrolh, Den - nis, Wht,Etnand Maxey, who helped Conkling dlefeat the New York f(nminatoins, mado a grievous mistake, They are helping to fright.. on iHayeos from the policy that has most helped the South. In this State, too, that miserable wretch Patterson seems to ho pers plexing the .Democratic party; and rocent.movemuonts indicate that there *is a cortain wing of the South Caro lina Deomocracy that will b)ack Pat * torson against Hayes. This is a mistake, and time will show it. The masses in Suuth Carolina take no stook in Patterson. Ho is a;black hearted and tricky rascal who has boon at the bottom of all the stealing and murders in South Carolina. Any attempt to champion him wvill end in %1pastor. PTho Rev. Mr. Uniloy, of Vir ia, has assumed lgo of tbc The State Millitary Academy. A very plensant re-union of the graduates of this old institution was held inl Charleston on the 10th ilst., Gen. Jamiles Conner occupying tho chair. A number of addirebses Wore m1ade iiand resolu tions o1rered. A list of all the graduate-'s who had fallen during during the war was read. It con prised, monll,g others, the limes of Col. C. C. Tow, (en. Micah Jenkins, Col. J. A. Diean, of the 7th Arkan sas, Col. J. 1). Nunce, Lt.--Col. Shooter, and a numb11"er of ma11jors, oflicers. of the lino and privates. It was slownI alo that tho Stato Military Academy, working up under discouragement, against pro judice, and with miagro support, had attained to the highest rank Um1ong th military cho1001s of this cuintry, haviig in twenty two years, at the small cost of $200 p(r (nUnUM for fiitionl, books, food, clothing", medical' attention, &c.., (Aucated in a greaetel or less degroo over 1,800 tmid gradluated 264 of the sois of South Carolina, who have discharg,ed tho varions dties of citizeilhip ill pealoo aud in- war, many oCCn vyimg tihc highest sttiolns with value and distinction to the State.

ALernato Orator-Col. 8. B. Pickens. It was resolved tht cxery cifort should be mado to recover the Citadel from the possession of the Federal government ; and that the I State Military Academy should be ro,established. The meeting then adjourned. This academy was one of the piroudost inistituitions of the p)ast; and was of great benefit ini educating the youth of the State, anud in titting~ themi for thi' e mitary duties she suban~t1ent ly devolved upioni them to per)forml.
