WLJ.NBORO, S. C. A2TV0$Ar, JULY 13, : : 1878. R. MZANS DAVIS, DtOR. JNO B. BZYNOLDS, AssooIATB EDITOR. SoME ONE PROPOSES to make Hampton governor for life on a salary of ten thousand dollars. CIRLESTO. u bJrr. .v i I money and will pay its July intorest, amounting to a hundred thousand dollars. H. V. REDFIELD, t'Jo newspaper philosopher, decides from the mortuary statistics of cities that the colored population is decreas . ing in the South. THE STALWART Republicans are making every effort to create a sentiment in favor of Grant in 1880. They want a few more years of good stealing. WILLIAM SPRINos, a revenue official, has been sent to the poni tentiary for three years, for steal ing a watch from a negro during one of the recon t pretended raids. Justice is overtaking these cattle at last. TEcUMsE SHEnM.1N ewears like a trooper over the retrenchment inaugurated in the army. He .' been half choked with bile ever since*the Democrats exposed the crookedness of his brother John. THE COMMUNIsTS have not calptur ed California after all. The non partisans came out strong in the interior and elected a maljority of the delegates to the convention. The Communists proper are in a small minority. PRESIDENT MAG RAT1, of the South Carol-.? Railroad, expresses the same views about the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta road as we gave. He thinks the acquisition of this line a matter of vital import, ance to Charleston. THE NEw TohK Herald seems pretty well satisfied that Fl-ida and Louisiana were about being igiven to Tilden when the "visiting statesmen" went down and had protests, directly or indirectly, manufactured to order, by which the returns could be changed. MAJ. T. WV. W~ooDwARD in a card published to-day withdraws from the Congressional race. This com. mnunication was written some time ago, but its publication was, through no fault of the writer, delaye. The card speaks for itself. Papers in this Congressional district are .requested to copy. THE cABLE REPC RTTS that France is drawing large sums of gold from England ; and in the same breath the gold men gravely annonne that silver has declined two and one.-half ponce in London since the passage of the Bland Bill. Would it not he more candid to say that! gold had risen in consequence of the demand for it? Why should silver incur the odium of all the fluctuations?i WITHOUT IN A}iY way prejudging the circumstances connected with the recent unfortunate homicide at Ridgeway, we are impelled to say that the uso of deadly weapons is becoming entirely too frequent in Fairfield. For a time this county' was one of the most peaceable in! the State, But at the last ternm of eourt there was one murder trial and a trial for assault with a dead ly wveapon (in both of which, how ever, the defendants were held blameless), wvhile in the p)ast week' there have been a stabbing affray and a homicide. Wheon life be comes too cheap in any community, no one is safe, For the sake of the good name of the county we hope that thero will be no similar occur rences for a long time to come. - The Radioals, 'i'he Radical Committee of: Charleston county have cald for 'a Ointy Convention to send dole gates to a 'State Convention in! This shows that the Radical party is not dead, and that in the lowt r counties, if not in all, the Radicals will make super-human efforts to carry the Legislature and the county tickets. They will succeed in some localities, unless the D'mo cratic party throughout the State inaugurates such a spirited cam paign that its influence will be felt in the strong Radical counties. A desperate contest will also bo waged in the first, second and fifth Con.. gressional districts. Democrats must not fall asleep in fancied security that the ladicals are con verted simply because they make no opposition to hampton. This is an evidence of Radical astute ness. A full State ticket nominaat ed by them would arouse the Democrats to a enipaign similar to that of 1876. But by making no conspicuous effort, tho Radicals hopo to steal a march on the Democrats and capture the Legis lature. This design need only be appreciated to bo defeated. Whether these tickets be put in the field depends entirely upon the sloth or supineness of the Democ racy. They have the matter in their own hands. THE FORTIH DITJICT. Major Woodward Retires from the Congreesional Con,es in Favor o. Hou. Jno. H. Evins. .Is.'ssrs. Editors :--Recent de relopments indicate that the safe ad general inclination upon the part of the people of this State to re-.eleet incumbents who have pro -en faithful to their trusts, is shared n by the voters of the Fourth Con . ressional District. It has ever een a rule of mly life to conform :o the wishe.9 of Illy pedoe, when nc( naterial diflorence of "pinion exist ?d and when no substantial mat era of State or National polity livided us. None present them elves in the alpproaching contest. l'he only issue wou'..i bo one of iersontal po'pul:rity between as, pirants, and even this would not be a.irly determ:ne,l i:1 tho present xigenev. I have concluded, there ore, to withldr.w from the Con ;ressional contest. In abandloning the field, whether ~loriously 01r ingloriously, it is due :o truth and to myself to stmte th.at ny namle was brought before tileo mllie no0w, nad in 1876, with no' ATort of mine, with no0 wish either 3xp)ressed or implied, nor did the dea of running me in 1876 origi v't. with tihe people of Fairfield.

WXhoevcr, therefore, charges 1m0 Xvithl ideas of personal prcfermo t, >r suspects me of improper ambition, dpealk5 falsely in the one inlstance, mad (1oes mo inijustice ill the other. In lowving the cout.t thlus clear to LIny old friend and class-mate, Col. Einsi), and tenldering my congratu. Lations, wvhich heC knows canI comlei froml heart, even~ unider prlesent cir mmnstances, I also take occasion to say that in 1830 1he maly I ook for >pposition. There are a large class known as farmers, men who till thle soil and do tile votinIg. They, in the unreasonableness, perhaps, ofI their ideas, are beginning to thlink that they have conltributed to the p~ersonnel and commnissariat of the army long enough to be entitled to more staff oflicers at headquarters. We are not anti--iawyer nor anti anybody else :we oven profess to be broad enoulgh in our views to pr.od aounce all class preferences andl special legislation unwise, unkind, .n fact, uncilvilized ; and yet we do propose to elevate our calling ands to dignify onr profession. WVe prod poe to do what every other- 'nter st, elass, seet, profession, politiaal >rganization, even religious denomi, ~ation, has done--demand a fair rep-' estso An .tb inansgemnen t of am;.aff4irp,. mjd..men frotn -oir..aanke to lo'ki'fter thb peculiar' Interests of ngriculture. nTi is no t..J departure. but has been a funda mental priue'ile, and has cotistituted the true genius of all good govern 'ment from the contnen'cement of government to the present time. We shall insist upon reinforcing the half dozen farmers in Congress, now so completely overshadowed by the three hundred and sixty members of other professionns that they are in capable of making thenselves felt in the logislation of the country. We take oicasion, therefore, to no tify you. frienr.. John, as well as the rest of niltnkind, that when this time arrives, and there shall appear upon the scene a farmor of large heart and comprehensive intellect, and of proper educational require ments first, and of enlarged and liberal views in all matters of church and State--excepting only that he be puritanrical in straightout Democracy-then do wo expect to do, what has been done by every other interest horetofore-except1 ing only tho farmers-give him our support. Nor am I to be undcratood as paving the way for myself only, for I know m.ny in our ranks wiser, perhaps more prudent, cer tainly better qualified in every par ticular, than I am. In closing, I desire to s:ty to those who supported imto w.) mvrnly, su unexpectedly, in 1876, as well as to those who woul h.ve .i me so now, that I am not wanting in gratitude. Thanks, then, genuine, sincere, heartfelt thanks, to all. T. W. WoomWAn. nH AMPTON A T I L ACK .ILL. The Fame of the State at Stake --How tho Nor.h Thinks. The people of South Carolina, while and black. are fortunato in the possession of a man like Governor Hampton, who is not only just sud honorable t.;mself, but has the conage to tel his people the truth. He is perfectly right in what he told them. South Carolina is on her trial, and it is quite possible, if her people permit the baser s-."tt of politicians to control the :lie ms, that they shall find themselves 111ant back into the wof.'; condition which the wisdom. and counage of Govern. or Hampton iand those who stood by him rescuel them from.
