W INNSBO1LO, S. C. Saturday, March 16, : 1878. R. MR1NS DA VIH, EDITOlt. JNO. 8. REYXOLDS, ASSOCIATR EDITo0t. IT Is TAOUIHT that Congress will not adjourn before August. This will afford very little opportunity to the present incumbents to work for a re-election. Ex-GovERNolt BULLOCK, Of Georgia, received a tremendous ovation in Albion, Now York, on his return after acquittal in the Georgia courts. He now ranks among the blessed martyrs. IT Is PREDICTED that both the Democrats and the Republicans will concentrate upon Governor Hamp ton for a second term. This would be a very gratifying spectacle, and would close the mouths of the bloody-shirt orators. TWELVE MILES OF THE Greenwood and Augusta railroad have been graded, for cash, and the company has funds in hands for use soveral months longer. The people wanted the road and they are just turning out to build it themselves. WE DO NOT SEE that the passage of the usury law has made money any more plentiful. The chief re sult seems to be that the borrower pays the usual high rate of interest, and, in addition, signs a pledge not to plead the usury law. BEN WADE began life as a laborer on the Erie Canal; and as president of the Senate, at the time of the impeachment of Andy Johnson, he missed by one vote becoming the President of the United States. From that time until his death recently, his political star rapidly waned, A LIVELY CONTROVERSY has sprung up between Gen. Dick Taylor and Hon. A. H. Stephens. The former charges that Mr. Stephens clogged the wheels of the Confederate gov ernment, by opposing the measures of President Davis, and interfered in the management of the army. He also says that ho visited Mr. Stephens after the close of the war, to aok his co-operation in se curing the release of President Davis from prison, but was received with great coldness. Mr. Stephens puts in a general denial, especially of the last charge, alleging that he never saw General Taylor after the war. General Taylor renews the charges ; andl there the matter rests. We are not posted as to the true inwardness of the situation, but Mr. Stephens, c'ortainly during the war, received credit for hostility to President Davis and the admin istration. Popular Bonds. The Senate has passed a hill pro viding for the issue of one hundred millions' wvorth of four per cent. United States bonds, running fifty years, in den ominations as low as twenty--five dollars. The idea is to popularize the loan, and to give laboring people and persons of small means an opportunity of finding a safe investment of their earnings, instead of having them swallowved up in broken savings banks. This is an imitation of the example sot by France, whose debt * is largely due to her own people. * Heretofore our bonds have been of such large denominations that only capitalists oould invest in them. As the great p)rospoerity of France is attributed partly to the popularization of her loans, it is to be hoped that the House will concur in this bill, so that the experiment may be tried in this country. Changing the Time of Elections. There is a tendency to secure a general day of voting throughout the Union. New Hampshire voted this month for the last time. Fu. ture elections will be held in November. Connecticut and Penn sylvania have also moved back to this time, and a proposition is now before the people of Indiana to effect a similar change. Ohio will doubtless soon follow. This will prevent the National Administra tion from throwing its woight into any one Stato election in order to secure the floating vote in tie gei . oral melee. The Octobor States have heretofore decided the presi - dential election in advance. When all the States vote upon the same day, the two parties will have equal chances. Georgia, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire have also joined the States which have only biennial sessions of the Legislature. This is thought to be in the interest of econony. It is rather cruel, be cause it cuts off from the average legislator one half his opportunity for speech--making. THE' STATL L EG u ISLAT URR. WEDNESDAY, March 13, 1878. SENa'a-.

Tullis was worth $2,000,. 000 or $3,000,000 in real estate, bonds, etc., most of which he had accumulated by extroino economy and closo but strictly honest deal ings. Ie owned a large amount of p)perty i Cincinniti, Chicago and St Louis : was the heaviest land owner in Butler. a wealthy county adjoining this, and owned about one hun(lrod thousand a&-res of land in Iowa and Missouri. He was very peculiar in his habits, buying his clothes only at second hand and living at (heap restaurants. He had been ill for some timo before his death, but refused t-> employ a physician on account of the expense. lie was a man of fair education, and had stndied law with Mr. Carey, of this city, in order to tit himself to his own business and save his attor. ney's fees. He was very eccentric anid self denying in his habits, avoiding society, living in a wreteh.. ed, dirty room in an obscure alley, or in a log hut on - one of his numerous farms. dre(cing wretched ly, having the appearance of a third-rate tramp. He was unmar ried, and had few friends or rela-. tives. He remarked shortly before his death that he cared little what l)c:an of his l)roperty except that lie hoped those who got it would enjoy spending it as mu h as he had its :ccuiula;tion.
