WINNSBORO, S. C. Tuesday, March. 5, . 1878. R.. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Assoclate EditoiE TiE UNIVERalTY m.L was nassed in the Sonato to a third reading by the casting vote of Lieutenant GoCvernor Simpson. As THE CAMPAION is opOning, it might as well be announeed tt once that Tim NEWS AND HERALD is unanimously in favor of the re election of Governor Hampton. NEw IIAMIrauJiJ, on the 12th, elects a State ticket and a legisla. ture which will choose a snecessor to Senator Wadleigh. Both parties are afraid. IN ANOTHER. COLUIN will be seen, the text of the lieu law just passed. It is. practically a revival of the lion law for a year, at the expiration of which time it is hoped that the far mers may be better prepared to stand alone. PREsIDENr 1AYES vetoed tel) silvol bill, but Congress passed it over the veto that samo evening by an over. whelming vote of 4 to 19 in the Sen ate, and 196 to 73 in the hiouse. It is said that no measure was eve passed over a veto before the timE of Andrew Johnson, anld never bo fore has a voto been taken on th< the day of the receipt of the message It is a sad evidence of the Presi dont's weaknoss. Right here it ma) be well to remark that this weak ness arios not from the Souther) policy, but from his vacillation ir other matters, such as civil serviec Ioform. Tim vs mud 6 oiirier takcs th. position that the United State" bonds were first mado payable il "standard coin" (both gold and silver but that in 1873 Congress, by th< domonetizationo act, elected, to pa) them iui gold. Gold was the cheap. or money then, just as silver is now Yet the. uews and Courier .whil denouncing the silver, now, is per, fectly satisfied with tho act of Con gress passodl then. Again,. a "standard coin" meant bo0th gold and silver, how could, the gov'ern ment "elect"' to pay in only 01nt metal without impairing the valid ii of the contract ? This would bE just as absurd as if t\.e hondholdorm had elected to he paid only in gold Again, it is urged that at least th< bonds issued. subsequently to the, act of 187.3 cannot be0 paid in silver Yet the boudsin issued since ther have on their. backs the contracl that are~ tolbe puaid. in "standard coin of 187T. Juhst as no. one, prior t< 1873, dremit that silver would b< demonetized, ao the bon3)dholderi after that, had no right to take fo. granitod that it wvould not again b< be carrlied, wvhile the endbrsoment 01 these bonds showed that one rc vived,.the silver dollar would bo) legal tonder for them as well ne foi anything; else. IN THIE COURsE of his remarks ii opposition to the University bill GeneraL.Gary is reported to hav< said: It mia4tcrs not to me who favorm this bill,, whether it be G1overnoi Ham ptont or G~overnor anybody else I shall not follow in any such load. I am a straightout- ont Democrat too, in, this sense. I have boor charged with being an olponent oj the Administration. I. throw bacd the charge. I do reserve the right and wvill exorcise it, of advocatin that wvhich I think is right, and con. demning that wvhich I regard ai wrong, matters not whom it ma' hurt.

Tihe averago member of the Legislature will not loso much by consulting bin. Redistricting the State. The Legislaturo has undertaken the task of redistricting the State Several congressional districts havo hei left by the proposed bill with. out material alteration, but in oth ors the change is radical. The first district romains as before, with the exchiango of Lancaster for Sumter, with the fourth- district. It will consist of 11,618 white, and 14,529 ,colorod votos. The second district will bo composed of Charleston, with Colleton and B'eaufort. instead of Orangeburg and Clarendon. It will contain 9,122 white votes to 21,384 colored. Tho former die. trict contained 8,291 whites and 16,718' blacks. The third district remained unchanged, ham 16,061 whites and 16,581. blieks. The fourth district, with Sumter instetd of Laneastor, will contain 16,339 white, and 18.680 black voters,. an11 incresoe of two thoisand colored voto-4. The fifth distriet will con tain ElgMAield, B trnwa1l and Aiken, with Hampton, Oranrburg and Clarendon, exchanged for eau. fort and Colleton, with 8,814 white, and 14,029 colored voters. The former district contained 9,642 whito 19,195 blacks. t WC do not apjroV Of this bill.
