W"INSBORO. S. 0. Tuesday, January 8. ; 1878. D. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. 8. RE7NOLDS, Aesoolate Editor. To DE or not to be afraid of Russia is tho question now, most agitating the people of Mcrry Eng land. GEOnoIA HAS at last plucied up courage onough to try her carpot bagger governor, Bullock, who has boon dangling in the courts a number of years and demanding a spoody trial. That he has boon a great rascal is an acknowledged fact, but whether he will be caught by the Georgia courts is a difforont matter. No Compromises with Thieves. Tho Investigating Committoo, it is said, have succeeded without iuch trouble in fastening vomno crimo or other upon almost ovory Radical leader in the State. In dealing with these knaves there should be no distinction. If the example be once sot of lotting any culprit off, then it will be exceed ingly difficult to draw the line at any particular point. Thore is not a Radical in the Stato who is not more obnoxious to some portion of our people than any other of the crow, and his pardon would in evitably raise a howl of dissatisfac. tion. The people, whon they heard that Moses, Woodruff, Leo, Jones and Nash had boon grautod im munity, were soothed only by the plea that this course rendered absolutely certain the bagging of nobler game. The only result thus far has boon the conviction of Smalls, who has appealed and is now actually sitting in Congress, and of Cardozo and Cass Carpenter, who, we believe, are out on bail. The rascals richly deserved pun ishnient, but their crimes wero not a whit more heinous than those of others. Pattorson, thanks to a disagreement between the Senate and the House, would now, if his health permitted, be luxuriating in I the Senate Chamber and drawing his five thousand a year. Cham, borlain pursues his unruffled course in a law office in Now York. P'arker is in jail, we believe, hut no dooisive stops have boon taken in his case. Neaglo is at large. Bowen waxes fat in the shierift"s offiee in Charleston. Worthington is at liberty to seek fresh fields. A matter of fifty or a hundred minor thieves are at large, plotting for a revival of the Radical regime. It is true that justice moves t slowly1 but it should nevertheless move perceptibly. The p)eople, too, would be long suffering and patient were they assured that everythingc would be done properly in its C order. But when they hear it rumored that one faction woul spare a certain Radical and prosa cuto the rest, while another faction would vigorously prosecute the favorite of the first faction, and would yet shield some other crimi nal, the people wish to know wvhen this thing will end. The straight Gourse is the best. No favor should be shown, All should be prose outed alike,. or all should be suffered to go free.. The straight-out campaign of 1870 caused a surrender of all in-~ fliyivdual preferenceb for part icuflar Btepub.iqajes. And the public weal demands tha6 the Democracy still propent a bold and solid front. "No compromise" is the wvatchward of victory The telphonn onoraph, the, ona for transm~itting sound, and the other for p)reserving it, have scarcely ceased to be' a cause for amusement, when an electrician omes forward with the eleotro. poope, the province of which seems to bo to transmit waves of light by electricity. Combine It with the telephone, and while two person are talking with each other at a distrnee of say 500 mle~s, they can actually see each other, at least so claims the Inventor. Accounts fromi Abbeville and Olarendon conties state that the repalof helien law Is causing consderbledisres tothesmallaw SOUTH CA ROLINA NEJVS. Greenville is proud and happy over a newly-purchased steam fire engine. The bond commission is hard at work in Columbia, gatting its re port ready for tho Logisaturo at the end of the recess. There are now more convicts confined in the State ponitentiary than there have boon at any other time sinco its establishment. Sonator Butler has been to Florida, in attondanco on tho session of a Congressional committee of which he is a membor. The common sihools of Abbovillo County wvill be re-opened on the 4th of February. Applicants for posi tions aa teachers will bo oxantined on the 16th and 17th of the present month. Stops are taking for the early rind thorough re-organization of the Democratic party in Anderson Lounty. This is wise, and every 3ounty in the State should do liko Wise. The special election in Nowhorry county passod off very qui-3tly. Mr. 'eorgo Johnstone, the regidar Domocratic candidato for membor Lf the Logislatuire, and tIo 11ev J U. Boyd, the rtgular Demoerati(" tndidato for school conis IIionor0, woro elected over tho Indepldent 3andidatos by only eighty-sovon majority. About forty negroes passed through Camden recently, on their way to Libcria. They wero said to havo come from Lancaster coun by, and were on their way to Uharlestonl, whoro they expected to rot aboard the "big ship" that would take them to Africa. The Sonato committee appointed to investigato Corbin's bribery of Ate members of the Mackey Legis,, laturo last winter, is now in session. It is said that the committee has liscovered testimony which will ;ond Corbin to tho penitentiary. rho committeo consists of Senators Lipscomb, Fraser, Crittonden, Johnson (colored) and Wylio. Two Waterbury (Conn.) teamsters ,voro so mad becauso one woildn't, Urn out of a narrow courtway for h.)o other that they sat on their vagons facing each other all day. Ind unhitched the horses after dark, eaving the wagoins still there. But tbout daylight iext morning each itolo around and took his cart out >f the way. The now artesian well in Charles ;on has reached a depth of eighteen indred and forty foot, and yields tbout ninety gallons of water a minute. The city agreed to pay ioven dollars a foot for the well, mt it has already cost the con ractor five thousand dollars more hIan he will get from the city. L'ho iron tuboes with which the well a lined cost upwards of five thou i:and dollars. A serious pecrsonal rencontre oc mnired in Charleston 0on Friday, 'esulting in the serious wounding >f Mr. Ii. W. iRouse by Mr. E. 11. Shite, and1 the sover-o wounding of WIr. J. P. DeVeaux by Mr. C. Levy. rho shooting of Mr. Rouse appears o3 ha~ve been in self--defence, but hat of Mr. Deaux by Mr. Levy 1 oms to have been reckless if not v'anton. Levy denies having dlono he shooting. The dlilliculty arose 'ver the nomination for the p)ositioni f chief of polhce. Mr. Rouse had eeon nominated by the mayor, but he council refused to elect him ircumistances which caused somet :xcitomont and a little bad blood. IMPRISONED FoitLov- Maxi. ohin J. Corbott, a soldier' of the egular army, is now imprisoned in 'ort Wad swor-th, Staten Island, mn a charge of"conduct prejudicial to ood erder and military diciplino." It is said, however, that the recal ~ause of his imprisonment is the act that he fell in love with a young ~irl named Alice Decamnonu, whoso a ather, a wvealthy gentleman, owns I roperty and lives near Fort Wads, v'orthi. Corbott wvrote several guuh, *ng letters to Miss Decamuoau, and sho, like a dutiful daughter, ave them to hor father, who com..% plained against him to Gen. Han sock. Corbett says the young lady incouraged him, and his counsel gave notice before Judge Benedict, *n the United States Court, in Brooklyn, that ho would to-day ap - ply for a writ of habeas cor-pus in 2is case, The writ was refused. (Vet. York TI'imes, When Roscoe Conkling, then bcing Jetween 12 and10A, was a school boy it Anburn, he wvas ambitions to be bhought the best runner, jumper, wrestler and boxer of the school. When worsted at any game lie al ways cherished hatred towards the winner, and watched an opportuni 6y to "got square" with him with a blqw or a kick. Next to those arniable characteristics was, says the Auburnian, his "habitual inso.. lenco to '~s father anid mother." He eooibrtk no commands, no mat. ty oin issanade habiually NEWS OF THE DAY. Mr. Tilden is expected soon to come South and spend a short timo in Florida. There have boon a groat many failures and suspensions in the North and West during the past week.

The steamer K1earsage, which had the famous naval duel with Semmnes' Alabauina, was stranded off Ports mouth, Now Hampshire, on Friday. At last accounts wreckers wore engaged in trying to get her afloat again, with hopel of success.
