WINNSBORO. S. O, uesday, May 7. 1878. R. AfBANS DAVIB, EDTOR, J2NO S. IINYNQLD, AssOUIAT$ EDITOR. TuE P. I. man of the Now York Herald is unhappy because all Southern orators on Memorial Da.y express the cQnvictiont iApt the f. South ought to have boon victorious. Did ho over know any one who having got a trashing did not believe to th:m end of time that he ought to haye licked ? .Is that treason? :r WHEN THE confessions Of McLin and Dennis, in reference to the rauds in Florida, wore first made known, they wore troatedc very lightly in high circles, and the Now York herald especially pooh-poohod them contemptuously as too late. But the more the matter is stirred the bigger it gets. It will not down at sny ono'e bidding, Indi cations are that Congress will bo compelled to take cognizanco of it, and appoint a committeo of investi gation. Sill richer developments from Louisiana are promised. The cloud is not larger than a man's hand now, but wLither it will spread, none can forotell. SEORETARY KEY is also happy as a clam at high tide water over the recent Florida developments. Jo knew all along that Tilden had carried Florida amd said so. But Hayes put him in his cabinet, and he proposes to stick tero. Ho cannot believe that o--Goveruor Noves aided and abetted McLin in his frauds. Furthermore McLin and ,Dennis are such grand rascals ho does not believe a word they say. And yet Mr. Key, Democrat as he is, forget, that the words of McLin and Dennis woro good enough to believe when they said, a year ago, that Florida had gone for I1ayes. Were they more trustworthy when lying than they are now that they tell the truth ? Resides who in the world is better evidence that McLin stole the State than McLin himself l Mr. Key is entirely too happy. We fear it is his salary, not his pressident that he intends to stick to. The Solid South, Alluding to the ep)ort that the Northern Radicalis intend sending some of their best orators down South during the comning campaign, especially in those districts whore they believe there should be Rc publican majorities, the Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist * manifests much joy of spirit, and calla for B3oss Shephard anmd )3ab cock and Belknap and Blaiuoe and Credit Mobilier Colfax and .DeQalyer Oarfield, and the accomplices of the Florida and Louisiana Returning Boards and all the Christian states. men who lead the Republican party ~nd fitly illustrate its principles. Our contemporary continues: "They nay tro~vol .frorn R~ichmnond to Oalvoston and make bloody,.shirt speeches at every station with no 9ne to inolest or make thoem afraid. They may canvass all the districts in which they believe 'there should V be Republican majorities.'. They ~nay organiz.e their party, distribu to documents and le.vy .tribute on the post-office and custom .house em ployes. They may stay until -they are tired of bunking at the .Solid South, and witen they get tlu-ough the people will eleot a Democratic Congressman -in every Southern district but two." The European War. No decieive.ateps have been taken 4' by either Russia or .England. The .enlistment of troops ,in the latter countrysis taking place very rapidly. '1ussia, on=the other ,bandl, is re .. Ported to be prepari -a -number Sof fast edaisera to -1t 1904p upon~ %ush onmerce as .soon as war I*gie. ' Avessel containing six & oduian siore is at pres prevented, both by her I "vs and the positioni she took against P?ngland in the Alabama natter, from allowing cruisers to sot out from ber ports against any nation with whom she is at peace. Never tlioloss England is very unoasy for her shipping, and she inay strike a blow at an early d:ay to prevent Russia from p'rfcting her schono. 'ur:key is now said to be holding aloof from Russia. She refuses to surrender several forts, on the plea that Russia has not fulfilled her part of the treaty of San Stephano. She has an army of sovonty thou sand men around Constanstinoplo, and, if encouraged by England, may light again. Unwarranted Charges. A writer in the E:cjgofield Ador tiser, whose zeal outreuchos hi-9 ktnowledge, recently severely criti cised the oflicial courso of Superin tendent Thompsoni and Secretary Sims, than whom no more capable or zealous officers can be found in the State. Fault was found with the former because the school money belonging to Edgefield had not been apportioned out among the townships according to the views of tho correspondent. Had he ex amined the law he would have seen that the State Superintendent merely apportioned the money among the counties, the re-appor tionncnt among the townships in oacl county being exclusively the province of the school commissioner whose duties in the prenises ore ,'ea'rly defined. The State Super. intendent has no more to do with that matter than with the length of the Legislative sessions or the ee tion of judgea The complaint urged against Secretary Sims is that besides re ceiving a salary ho pockets three dollars and a half for every conmis sion issued,.bejles fees for other duties. A reference to the law plainly shows that all fees collected by the secretary of Sttto are to b.o turned into the treasury. This provisio y has been strictly obeyed by the secretary. Tho salary, which lie fully eams, is all the money he r.eceives. Thus the nccnsations against both gentlonon fall tq thm ground. THE TE L EPIHONE. There is no account extant of howv the telephone acts when under fire. The destruction of the Pr'e Prss~ buildings gave the little in strume.nt a liery ordeal to pass through. The telephone in the edi itor-i roomsa comminunicatcs with the residence of the managing editor, Win. E. Quiinhy, No. 777, JTefferson avoenne, a mile and a half from then newspaper oflice. WVhen the fire struckc the edi torijal rooni, the bell at Mr. Qninby's residlene began to ring violently. As the fire ineased in intensity the ring. ing of the bell became more imupo, tuons, pealing in gusts as the fire seemed to surge around the comn p)anion bell in the buriining building. It was an embodiment of Poe's lines on "The Bells" where the rising and tho quelling of the fire could lie calculated by the rising and the falling of thme anger of the bella. A t last the claime- of the telephonic bell became unabearable to those in the room and the bell was muffled with cotton which part ly stopped the alarm. But here the strangest p)art of the telephone's action comes in. From the speak inst tnhe, (a-ne the roar of the fire, and it wvould seem that the swish of the water from the enginor and the poui'ing of the floods from the roof could be plainly heard, The crack ling of the burning timbers and at danet the,crash of floors and falling par'titions came and every sound of the conflagration in all its infioetions weore faithfully reprodueed, and the sudden stoppage of all sound showed that communication was broken and the .voice of the won derful instrument stilled by thme scorching flames.-JDetroi4 Pree .Press. Postage stamps are said to have been suggested to Iloland 'Hill by the following incident: -Thirty seven years .ago he ohanced to reach thie door' of an 'inn ein -the north of England -just when a -poPtman delivered a letter .to a yourig servant, girl.
