WINNSBORO. S. C. Baturday, May 18, : 1878. A. M1ANS DATLS, EDITOR. .ZPO S. BBYNOLDS, ASOoATE EDITOR. IT Is NOT AT ALL improbable that the Nationals will hold the balance of power in the next House of Representatives at Washington. THE STATE DEMoCRATI(U E cutivo Committee met in Columbia on Thursday, to consult with tr" County Chairmen in reference to the time of holding the State Con. vention. The first day of August was selected. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL has do cided that any unexpended school fund in the county must bo appor tioned out to the respective districts to which it belongs. It cannot be used to pay off old claims in a lump. THE CAMERONS have, as usual, dictated to the Republican party of Pennsylvania. Henry R. Hoyt has been nominated for governor. The Nationals, who claim a hundred thousand votes, have nominated a man named Mason. The Demo cratic convention has not been held. Ruion nAs rr that Marshal Robert M. Wallace will be the Republican candidate for governor. The mo mentum with which the Democratic party would sit down on him would be exceeded only by the weight with which they would mash out his respected father, the ex-Con gressmon from the fourth district, should he b induced to enter the lists as the standard bearer of Radicalism. IF THE DEMOCRATS fail to pushl their electoral investigation scheme through the Ilouse, they should resign and come home. The Demo crats for several years have shown a most disgraceful want of back bone as a party in Congress. Despite the fact that they swept the country by a majority of a quarter of a million votes (and a million white votes) lust fall, elected their President and the House,' and hung the Senate in the balance, they have suffered the Radical minority to flaunt their insolence in the face of the country. In every appropriation bill the House yields to the Senate. In all party matters they are afraid to assume the aggressiv'e, and they suffer their opponents to retain their prestige by slheer impudence. Now that the'issue has been jomned, the Democrats mst assume the aggres Bive and push the fight to the bitter end. 4ggressiveness always tells in party contests. A Spiritualistic Seance. Anvlspiritualistic seanco a held in Columbia on Wednesday, the object being to recall to earth the ghost of the defunct Radical party. A number of mediums were p resent: among them R. B3. Elliott, 4.. W. Curtis, F. L. Cardozo, 0. 0. Bowen, Thomas B. Johnston, WVil-. son Cook, F. J. Ensor, S. A. Swvails, June Mobley, and a dark horse are not divulged to mortal ears. The saance cannot be pronounced to have been due to the absence of a nuiberledn clivyns mesmerists and mnaterialists. Chamn berh'i failpd to join the mystic Q band, thme geuial. phyaiognomy of Scott cast no cheerful glow on the proceedings. Dunn, Pattersoq, ' ash, Whittemore, Leslie, Cass * Carpenter, Corbin, Stone, Frank AIosos, who were of yore most skilled in evoking spirits fromi the vasty deep, lik.ewise failed- to put in an appearance, The defunct corpses refused to rise. The. mediums felt ineomfortable,. except Ensor,. who ij iuumed to* the society of lunatics. . he proceedings were not divulged, t"r4~ibtless.because there wa~s nothing tetelle. Th.e doors were closed,. for I ~purpose, we presume, of pre c~*ting an incursion from Sheriff: &t A consthla.Ama..withA guarantees to all citizens the right peacefully to assemble, and nothing can be urged against a meeting at any time of such members of the Republican committeo as are not fugitives or convicts. But common sense suggests that it is a woful waste of money to spend it in this way. Tho committee had bettor adjourn sine die, without further delay. The Radical pr'ty never had a soul ; and any attempt to resurrect its gh'st is as fruitless a Lask as weaving spells over the Carcass of ia do:td dog. RE I'S OF TIlE dY. ''he four and a half per cent, bonds are going off liko hot cakes. Russia throatens to renew the war if Turkey does not evacuate her forts forthwith. The Baptists are in convention in Nashville, Tennessee, and the Methodists are still in session in Atlanta. The Senate has ratified the treaty between the United States and France for a convention with a view to adopting a uniform metrical sys tem of weights and measures. Tm: FAMIrLY OF JFIRnsON DAVIS. -Mis Jeff'erson Davis is described as being at present a very stout, very intelligent and very anial)le looking woian. Her face is roun-I, she has a large and expansive mouth and black hair, strcIked with gray. She is kindhearted, and is said by a correspondent of the Chicago T'i,nes to 1)e much liked in Memphis, es pecially by yong peiol. Mr. Davis is very thin, and looks very old and broken down. Their eldest daughter-a gentle and graceful young wOialn-is married and lives in Memphis. ''iev have two other children, one a girl of sixtecn, now at school in Gerimany, whither Mrs. Davis took her last s,umiter, and the other, a young mai, now in Memphle i5, Jellerson Davis, Jr. Ho is about. 22 years of ago. Ho has his mother's large, not handsome face, and is an awkward, loquacious, good-natured sort of an overgrown boy. 'lie Davis family is coinpara tively poor now, and Mrs. Davis frequently alludes to "our poverty" in a jocular way. DIsrnOrouTIN or LAnornq.-A man near Pittsburg, Pa., recently ad vertised for a book-keeper, and with in twenty-four hours he had one bun drodand thirtet.n applicants for the position. Subsequently he sought a man for his farm by the same nmears, and had eight responses. Those figures represent very fairly the disproportion of laborers in the va rious industrial pursuits. There are men needed in abundance for agri culture and other manual labor, but when a young man can wvrito a pret ty fair hand and balance the cday's transactions in a country store, he fools above thme farm, the anvil or the benCh. This is all wrong, and is of a piceo with other jilatedi notions that have crept into society. Ever since Eve's mncautions ex perience in the Garden of Eden, Babies have been the institution. Potted by mlen and loved by women, their b)aby life wvould be an absolutely happy existence, but for those evidlences of mortality ex~ hibitcd in Colic, Flatulence, etc. all happily relieved at once, how ever, by the prlompllt use of Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup. * Seven years ago Flood and O'Brien kept drinking saloons in San Francisco.
