WINNSBORO, S. 0. Saturday, Kar'4h 9, 1878. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associate Editor. Now THAT TIHE RILVEI BILL has be come a law, the gold men are be ginning to discover that its effects will not be so vicious after all, IRETURNINo BOARD ANDERSON'S chan ces of receiving a pardon from Gov ernor Nichols are very slim indeed. Yet Hayes continues him in office as Collector of the port of Now Orleans. JAMES GORDON BENNETT, having gained so much renown through the labors of Stanley in Africa, is preparing an expedition for the North Pole. He has purchased the ship Pandora for the purpose. Some paper hopes that Pandora will leave her box behind; but as the authentic accounts are that nothing but Hope is left in it, Mr. Bennett could not do better than to send it along. AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE on Tuesday evening to organizo a Democratic caucus, to n-ko a party settlement of the public debt. The advocates of the Consolidation Act refused to enter the caucus, on tho ground that the question is not political, and that rules regiflating the caucus do not apply. We fail to see how this is a political question. Each mem her should be allowed to vote ac cording to the dictates of his own judgment. Governor Hampton. A spontaneous call has arisen from a large portion of the press of the Stato for the re-election of Governor Hampton. It is most likely that the call will be nearly, if not quite, unanimous, and will correctly represont popular sent.:. ment. Indeed, we do not see how any other idda could be seriously entertained by any large number of voters. Governor Hampton was the standard bearer in the cam paign; and after the people had borne him into offico, he, in turn, was compelled for several months to bear them upon his shoulders. His great sagacity, wisdom and equipoise during that trying crisis raised both himself and the State to the highest pinnacle in the esti m'ation of the country. It is true that Governor Hampton has not pleased everybody, but such a feat cannot be expected short of the mnillenniial epoch. But he has ad ministeredl affairs wisely and wvell, and deserves the thanks of the State. The people of South Caro lina have so much fire and tow in their composition that a temperate restraint, such as Governor Hamp ton has exercised, has produced most salutary effects. No era of violence and bloodshed, such as the bloody-shirts prophesied, has suc coeed the great upheaval of No venmber, 1876. The Stato is peace -not the peace of death. The races are moving along quietly in their respective grooves. The gov - ernmon t is administered hiones tly and teonomnically, and the people are hopeful. The unanimous re nomination of Governor Hamp iton would be a verdiot of approval of the status quo and an announce ment that the present policy is to be continued. It is said that Governor Hampton does not wish t;o serve at second term. He can be elected anyhow. While we will not say that the Democratic party cannot be con solidated on any good man, wve have no hesitancy in asserting that it w~ill rally together more harmoni% ously under Hamipton than under any one else. With him out of the way, at least a dozen gentlemen would be pressed for the nomina. tiona, no one of whom would possess greater merit or greater claims than the others, and a wvranglo might ensue in the convention. But the renomination of Governor Hampton would ensure plain sail ing. We ,1o not appo- of f.lsm laudation on the one hand, nor of chronic grumbling on the other. But it is proper to say that Gov ernor Hampton has proven himself a sagacious statesman and a wise governor. For these reasons, we demand his re-election. THE STATE LEGISLATURE. WEDNESDAY, March 6, 1878. SENATE. A large number of bills were read a third time--most of which are of a private or local nature. The Sen ate then took up the report of the Bond Commission. Mr. Myers, Republican, spoke in favor of stand ing by the Consolidation Act, and he was followed by Mr. Livingston, Democrat, who argued for the ad justment of the debt as stated in the report of the Bond Commission. Mr. Taft, Republican, followed in a long argument in favor of the Con. solidation Act, and spoke up to the hour of adjournment. Adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The committee on state house and grounds submitted a statement from the architect of the state hotiso, Mr. Niernsee, and they intro duced a bill to provide for repairs to the state-house, and recommend ed that the bill pass. Mr. Ferriter offered a resolution cutting off debate on the bond question and limiting each member who speaks on this or any other subject to thirty minutes. Ten members objected to immediate con sideration, and the resolution was laid over under the rules. The House then took up the bond question. Mr. Andrews, colored Republican, from Sumter, spoke in favor of the Consolidation Act. At the conclusion of his remarks, Gen. B. H. Rutledge, of Charleston, de livered an able speech on the same sido. Gen. Y. J. Pope, of Newberry, then spoke in favor of re-adjust ment. His speech is said to have been one of the finest yet delivered on this question. Mr. Fickon, of Charleston, closed the day's debate n an argument in favor of the Con solidation Act. Adjourned. TuRSDAY, March 7, 1878. SENATE. The joint resolution to appoint a commission to codify the laws was passed, with an amendment includ ing all the laws of the State, instead of statute laws, and also changing the title of the bill. The Senate bill to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors within three milos of Blythewood Female Semi nary was tabled, and the House bill passed, including several other seminaries and churches. A number of - bills, of local or limited interest, passed their third reading. Th'le hour for the special order having arrived, the Senate took up for consideration the report of the bond commission. Mr. Taft, having the floor, concluded his speech in favor of standing by the Consolida tion Act. The joint resolution authorizing the county commissioners of Rich-. land and Fairfield counties to re., build and keep in repair a bridge over Little River passed a second reading. The bill to provide for a -moPsenn ger' for the Supreme Court passed a second reading.0 Adjourned. HousE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Moore offered the following con current resolutions, which were laid over for consideration: Rolved, That a special commit tee of -from the Senate andl three from the House be appointed, whose duty it shall b)e to assess the value to the State of each member's daily services and rep)ort to their several houses the averageoper diemn, with a bill to prorate the same according to the value each member may fix upon his own services; provided they in no case exceed five dollars per diem. .Resolved,furthier, That all r'eso lutions relating to the pay of memo bers new on the calendars of the two houses, or hereafter to be intro duced, be referred to this special committee. The bond question was then taken up) for dliscussion--Messrs. Dibble, of Orangeburg, and White, of Charleston, speaking in favor of the Consolidation Act, andl Mr. O'Neill, of Charleston, in favor of re- adjustment. Mr. Austin, of Greenville, moved that a vote be taken on the bond question at 2 o'clock on Friday, the 8th inst. After a brief debate, this motion was tabled by a vote of 53 to 17. At the evening session, a number of bills were passed-none of them of public interest. THE DEMOCRATIC CAUOUN Just before the adjournment of the House of Representatives yes terday morning, Speaker Sheppard said he had been requested to an nounce that there wouk be a cau cus of the Democratic members of the Legislature at 4j o'clock in the hall of the House of Reprosenta tives. In pursuance of 'that notification, about eighty Senators and members met at the hour stated, for the purpose of considering proposi tions lo oking to a result on matters connected with the debt question, which should harmonize the differ ent factions of the Democracy who are divided on this important issue. Various speeches were avid-k looking to an amicable adjustment of the honest differences, but no important agrt ement was entered into. A committee, composed of four Senators, two of whom are in favor of the Consolidation Act and two against it, and six members of the House, equally divided between the two parties, was appointed to effect a settlement of the question and make a report to the caucus. This cbmmittee consists of the fol lowing gentloion : On the part of the Senate-Messrs. T. B. Jeter, J. C. Maxwell, T. B. Fraser and A. P. Butler ; on the part of the House -Mcssrs. D. F. Bradley, C. H. Simonton. R. R. Hemphill, J. W. Gray, R. B. Rhett and F. A. Con nor. This committee of conference will meet at 10 o'clock this morning. The caucus adjourned and met again at 9 o'clock last night, but. continued in session for a very short time. A series of resolutions was in troduced by the conference com mittec and adopted by a very large vote, but the exact nature of these we have not been able to ascertain. -Columbia Register, 7th inst. THE PENETRATING WINDS incident to this season of the year are a severe ordeal for the lungs. The neglect of a hard cough generally leads to a weakness of the lungs, which, not infrequently, results in I Consumption. SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYnUr will at once relieve and loosen a tight cough and is such an agreeable remedy that children will take it without being coaxed. A cold on the lungs, if consumption is not already developed, may be easily mastered by the use of the Pulmonic Syrup, together with Schenck's Mandrake Pille to clear the system of the accumulated mucus. In more serious cases, where he disease has become deeply seated, and the patient suffers from loss of appotite, weakness and emaciation, Schenck's Sea Wedood Tonic should be used in connection with the above mentioned remedies, to stimu late the appetite and bring the digestive powers into hecal thy action thereby sustaining the strength of the patient and enabling him to resist the progress of the disease until tho Pulmonic Syrup may per . form its healing and cleansing~ wvork. Tho use of these standard reme dies according to the directions whlich accompany them, cannot fail to produce most satisfactory re sults.

This Sarsaparilla is acombination of vegetable alteratives-Stliingia,Man drake ,Yellow Dock-with the lodides of Potassium and Iron, and is the mnost eflicacious medicine yet known for the diseases it is intended to cure. Its ingredients are so skilfully. combined that the full alterative effect of each is assured, and while it is so mild as to be harmless even to children, It is still so effectual as to purge out from the system those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease. The reputation it enjoys is derived from its cures, and the confidence which prominent phl.ysilcians all over the country repose in it proves their experience of its usefulness. Certificates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are con stantly being received, and as many. of these cases are publicly known they furnish convincing evidence oi the superiority of this Sarsaparilla over every other alterative medicine. So generally Is its superiority to any other medicine known that we need do no more than to assure the public that the best qualities it has ever possessed are strictly maintained. PREPARED BY Dr. J.
