RICHLAND TA} 1 Qiiainted a capital ticket for tho Legislature, the noinnes being Messrs. John E. Bacon, John C, Scogers, John C. Haskell, JQhn Elkins and E. Mc. Clarkson. This tickot is thoroughly representative of all claseso and should rid in upon a swell tido in November. Decline of Republicanism, The Now York Worldl has a strong article on the political up heaval in Now England, which is the moro significant as that section lias horetoforp bon noted for the porti. nacity with which tl1 peoplo cling to their respectivo party moorings year after year, It thOn goos on to put a little handwriting on the wall for the poriaal qf the Republicans, nts follows : Whether this is the end of the Republican party we shall bo bott.or able to tell after the October elee tions, when Iowa and Ohio are test ed, the one a strong Republican State, the other debatablo grond. There is one significant point our Republican friends overl-ook--lat of lato years when the Democrats captuiro a Stato they keep it, and when klip Rep.1.blican powr is at all shaken it is never restored. In Arkansas, Texas, Louisianc, Alabama, Mississip)pi, Florida, Gehor, gia, the Cairolinas, everiywlhore ini ti e South that the Democracy has re.. gained control, the Re~publican party hais vanished like a bursting bubble. Since the 1R01)ublicani party in Missouri wVas broken by the Libi oral movement of 1870 it has failed, till now, within eight avooks of ele tion (lay, it has ,nnt made one nomi nation for Congress while holding four of thirteen seats. Indiana was wrested fromj Morton in 187G, and the Republicans have no hope of regaining it. Up to 1873 only once in twventy-one years had Ohio gone Democratic, aind in Presideontial years it was Rlepublican by from 34,000, to 64,000'; in 1874i and 1875 the Dcmgorats carried it ; in 1876 Hayes bar~ely oanle himself ; in 1877 the Democrats entored its cital, aind in Lg78 the Republicau~s arc only going through the motions of a Stato canvass. There wals P.enn sylvania, avbich~ in 1872 gave Griant 136,000 majority. The tidal-wave shook it, and though Hartranft and Hayes squeezed through, it came pver last year and this year will elect a Democratic governor. There is Illinois, where Grant's candidature each time secured a majority of over 50,000 :the liopublican majority in 1876 was a little .o-v.or 2,000. Michi gan's majority has shrunkc from 60,000 to 15,000. Newv York is a recognized Democr-atic State. What further evidence is needed to show that the Ropublican party :bas exhausted itself ? It ran upon01 the force of an idea for some year-s. When that impulso wans lost and its .mission accomplished it retained itself in power by inertia, for-ce, fraud and prejudico. Onceo'bereft of power it has no notivo principle, no recuperative force, no plausible or decent excuse for existing. The Railroads. Judge Bond has decided that the ~South Carolina Railroad is a .hqpe less bankrupt, and has appointed J. -H. Fisher as receiver to wind up its affairs. The case against tihe ,Oreenville and Columbia Railroad ,will not be tried until winter, and this corporation has somo furthor breathing time. The Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad has thus far, despito mal-adminis tration, boon able to steer clear of the courts and remain nominally in the possesision of the original stockholders; but what bonofit they havo received froin this investment since tho war is not apparent. The recent sale of a controlling interest shows that the road is not iaking money now. Yet good reason exists for the hope that. it will im prove greatly in the. future if the now m"anagem1nt is characterind by liberality and fair dealing. 'his road lies directly on one of the main lines of travel, and one shorter by over a hundred miles than 'omiipcting lines, so that no reason exists Wh1y it should not conImand I almost a monopoly of travel and a largo amount of froight. The narrow and hido bound policy of discrimination that has been heretofore practised by this road could not but react upon itself, in driving away trade fromt the busiess centres along its lino, and thereby lessening the carrying trade. 'While Chester, owing to its terminal advantages, has beenl prospfring, all the other town3 and stations along the ro:al have gradu ally been declining. The exorbis tan t freights charged for votton havo drivei that staple to other markets, and while stores stood luled with goods that could not be disposed of, no new orders of any Considerablo 1.mount could be ex.. pected t.o yield to the revenues of the railroa(d. Winnsboro has sur fored greatly by this illegal dis crimination. The gratifying prom iso of 11ore liberal freight rates for cotton shipped from Winnsboro this fall vill give an 11)impet us to the trado of the place. and by bringing cotton here, will elable the railroad to reap increased freights from increased shipments of goods to this place. It is to be hoped that the now administration will be liberal. If not, the Legislature should take the matter in hand as the Legislatures of other States have dlone. The spectacle of the ruin that has befallon all the other railroads that have desh o.1l J them .,Clves by chokiing to ke 1u1 the towns through whIhleh they n issed, should lo suflcient, lw.. ever. b impel the magnat-es of this lino : be liberal from sOlf-inf crest, anIj not from a fear of poweri of the State. TnxI Tune " 'ro insis .-The En glish essayist, Ruskin, savs :"I have nod patience with people whio talk about the though l.lessress of youth indulgently ; T had rather hear of thoughtless old ago, and the indulgence di to thaut. When a muan has; done his work, let himi for get his toil and jest with his fate if lie will ; but what cxecuso can you find for wil funess of thought at the very time when every 4risis of fortune hangs on your decisions ? A youth thoughtless, when aill the happiness of his home forever (do ponds(1 01.1 the chances or the pas sions of an honr ?f A youth thought less, when the career of his days depends cn thet opportunlity of a miomecnt ? A youth though tless, when his every action is a foumndu tion stone of future conduct, and ivery imagtion~ a foundation of lif erdot ?Be thoughtless in any after years, rallher than now though, inidecd, there is only one place where a man may bie nobly *hugtls, hki:4 deaithbod.' At the .Jarin desPlantes a young .sculptor, who was studying annli made the acquaintance of a pirethy anid p)itunto nurse-girl who, however, th rew him overboard and took up with a soldier. The deso let (I voung artist thereupon took to wvriting upon all the walls the hieartN cry :".1 love A dele," hoping that it would moet her eye and touch brherrort. Tlhe wilful girl, deter mnied to oscapo this perpetual ro preoch of lier perhidy, at last made her habcitual resort an iron bench in f ont of the rhinoceros. The seat could not lhe wvritten on and there wvaa no wall. 1-tor she and her soldier would sit by3 the hour, .watched from afar b~y the jealous an.1 distracted lover. At last they enmto at the usual hour, nnd theo faithless girl glanced at the lhugo and ferocious animal. On its horn wase carved a heart, .beneath which wvore the words, "I still love Adele and am wvaiting at the dulk-p)ond." H-ow eQuld a woman's heart reaist this? Tears caime to heyes; ini a moment the soldiers arm wvas on circling the a~lbient atmiosphere, .and the nurso~1maidI said .to .her youthfulcharges; "Come,imy dears; lot us go and sen thenret nuck.
