BS2NOXLJDs, AssoousT ED1TOa C JuDez MAQSEy is a regularly en rolled member of the Chester Democratic Club. $e favors pri mary elections as being the most satisfactory mode of nominating. A GENTLEMAN of great political experience, lately returned from the North, says that Grant will be the Republican presidential nominee in 1880, and that the c,mtest will be very bitter. Much will depend on the control of Congress. CHARLESTON'S new artesian well is nineteen hundred and twonty.-f.vo feet deep, and pours out about two hundred and soventy-five thousand gallons of water daily. The con tract price was $16,500, but the actual cost was $22,500. The News and Courier favors the boring of four such wells, so as to afford the city a full supply of good water, of which great scareity now prevails.. THE SELECT committee to investi gate the Presidential frauds in Florida and Louisiana are Con groessmen Potter, of New York ; Morrison, of Illinois ; Hunton, of Virginia ; Stenger, of Pennsylvania;. McMahon, of Ohio ; Cobb, of Indiana ; Blackburn, of Kentucky;. Cox, of Ohio; Butler, of Massachu setts; Reed, of Maine, and Hiscock, of New York. The last four are Republicans. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS before the South Carolina Historical Society was delivered in Charleston on Monday eveninp by Mr. J. P. Kennedy Bryan, a son of Judge Bryan. The subject was the history of the State in its relation to civili zation. The speaker forcibly de picted the triumph and develop ment of moral order in human history from the earliest time to the present, and especially the part South Carolina has borne. Mr. Bryan, in this work, is a profound thinker and an accomplished rhotorician, and his effort on this occasion was masterly. The State Convention. The State Democratic Executive Committee has called the State Convention to meet in Columbia on Thursday, the 1st of August. This will give three months for the regular State campaign, much longer than is necessary. The time is fixed thus early to gratify the wishes of those who desire a long campaign. In our opinion the 1st of September would have been early enough. The difference, however, is not important. County officials and Legislators can be nominated later. The Election for Sheriff and County Commissioners. At the general election this fall the people of Fairfield, besides voting for State officers and a Con gressman, will elect three members of the House, a probate judge, a pchool commissioner and a coroner, these oflices becoming vacant this year. Owing to the inscrutable wisdom or excessive stupidity of the 0onstitbutional convention in fixing the tenire of offRce, it so happens that the termn of the sheriff and the eounty commissioners will not expire until the summer of 1879, e.nd that of the clerk in 1881; so that if elections be hl at the time vacancies occur, the people of Pairfield will be required to under go the excitement and demoraliza-. tion of a campaign over~y year, until the constitution is amended'. This would be a great anrnoyance to~ the people, and an actual injury to. the material interests of the county. As every gqod citizen should takQ sa active interest in all political .uestions for the present, it is esential that these q.uestions be ~ ~ . rsented as seldom as possible., Ano in two years is enough to call Ao voters out. In this cone ition' of affairs, it seem~s that much biennial general elections, and filling, then, not only the vacancies immediately pOnding, but also those that will occur within a twelve-month. No earthly cause prevents the election, by the people of Fairfield, of a sheriff and of three county commissioners this fall who shall assume their dutie in August or September, 1879. No law exists compelling an election within a month or two of the expiration of a torin. It is better, of course, as a general rule, to observe this prac.. tice, in order to got officials frosh from the people; but this reason, has not a straw's weight in con parison with the throwing of a county into a political turmoil. In the case of Congressmen it usually happens that a member does not assume the duties of his office for more than a year after his elec iion. Why should not a sheriff or county commissioner also possess his so ul in patience ? The good peoplo of Fairfield are bound to undergo considerable electioneering this fall. Why shall they not take the infliction in a lump ?. It is almost as easy to shake a hundred candidides. by the hand as fifty. Besides, the opening up of four new offices to be filled, would diminish the pressure at present existing, and greatly ielieve the voter who has more friends. than there are vacancies. For all those reasons it secms expedient that the. people shall make a wholesale business, and fill all the offices at once, so they may be unmolosted till the grand contest of 1880. TIIE NEwS AND HERALD has no axe to grind, and this measure is advocated with no occult design. But it does believe it a matter of importance to save the people, in their impoverished condition, from all unnecessary worry and dis traction from business, The miatter rests with the proper authority whether to call an extra election or not. The people should decide one way or the other,, as. their wishes in the premises will be gratified.. A SINGULAR LAWSUIT.-Genoral Grant's visit to England has given riso to a singular lawsuit. The corporation of Sunderlanci enter, tamed him when he was in the North, and charged the ratepayers with the expenises of a rpecial train, the ringing of bells and the music of bands. WVhen it was done there was the bill to be paid, and it was straightwamy charged to the borough fund. Some acute ratopayers ob jected to the payment of the ex penses out of thme borough fund, on the ground that the money col lected wvas directed by the statute to be applied to certain p)uriposes, of which the reception of General Grant was not one. The Queen's Bench Division upheld the objection to the payment, and consequently the gentlemen who p)romoted the recep)tion will be gratified with the opportunity of paying the expenses, not over $500, out of their own pockets. COMPARATIVE SIZE OF COUNTRIEs AND WATEEs.-Greece is about the size of Vermonit. Palestine is about one-fourth the size of Newv York. Hindostan is more than a hun-. dred times as large as Palestine. The Great Desert of Africa has nearly the present dimensions of the United States. The Red Sea would reach from Washington to Colorado, and it is three times as wide as Lake Ontario. The English Channel is nearly as large as Lake Superior. The Mediterranean, if placed across North America, would make sea navigatfion from San Diego to Baltimore. "Sir," askced an attorney, the other day, of a witness who' was giving evidence in a case of assault and battery, "have you ever been in this court before ?' "Yes, sir," answered the witness, "I have been here often." "Ah I been here often, have you ?" said the attorney, in a triumphant tone, "Now tell the court what "Well," replied the witness,. slow ly, "I have been here at least a dozen times to see you,. to try and collect. that t.ailor's bill you owe me." "A good advertisement lna anews paper pays. no fare onl railroads ; ot,s nothing for hotel bille3; gives awavy no hame af oigara *n ouna. Lead of traveling expenses ; but os at once and all the time about its business free of oSpense." All of which is true, albeit it is a littlo rough on the commercial traveler. Practical Printer.
