WINNSBORO, 8, C. SATURDAY# DMCAMBBA 7, 1878 W. MANS DAVIS, EDITOR. JAM -8. RMYNOLDS, ASSOCIATE EDITOR. RIGHT REV. J. B. P. Wilmer, Epis. copal bishop of Loulsana, died sud denly last week. He was highly esteemed and greatly beloved. JuGE BRYAN is taking a Manly stand in defence of the constitution and of the rights of parties to a fair and impartial trial. THz WHOLE State has cause for con gratulation in the unanimous election of Senator T. B. Fraser, of Sumter, to succ6ed the late Hon. A. J. Shaw as judge of the third circuit. Judge Fraser was born In 1825, graduated in 1815 and has been practising law since 1847. Ie served in the House from 1858 to 1865, and was elected State Senator last year. Judge Fraser is as clear as a bell and is the soul of honor, and he will worthily bear the judicial ermine. BLAINE'S RESOLUTION to Investigate the conduct of the recent elections will, it is said, be accepted by the Democrats with the condition to make the investigation ge -eral. The Now York Herald intimates that Blaie has bung!ed a little, as the investiga tions will include the conduct of Federal Supervisor Davenport, of New York, who arrested hundreds of Democrats on election day and fright ened thousands away from the polls on the charge that their naturalization papers were technically defective. A propos of this, one of Davenport's victims has just been released by the Federal Court, the judge declaring that the man ought never to have been arrested. Thus are the Radical three black crows rapidly dwindling into nothing. Inaugural Ceremonies. On Wednesday, Chief Justice Wil lard, with the president and clerk of the Senate, speaker and clerk of the House, and the joint committee of the two bodies, repaired to Governor Hampton's residence in the suburbs of, Columbia, and at the invalid bedside administered the oaths of office to Governor Iamptoin and Lieutenant Governer Simpson. It was anl im pressive ceremony. The Governor appeared In good spirits, and replied to the committees in the following words: Gentlemen of the Conmittees: I beg you to represent to the General As sembly my deep sense of the kindness and honor they have done me in scnd ing these committees of condolence, and to assure them that I applreciate this action on their part most grate fully. I beg that you will also say that a large part ot' the regret I ex perience at the accidcnt wvhich has confined ime arises from tho fact that it omens at a time 7when it dep)rives me -of the opportunity of taking counsel with the GnrlAssembly on the gra issues impending, anid in .en deavorlngt to assume my share of the resp)onsib)ility. I thank you, gentle mn, for the kind and feeling manner which in you hav'e discharged the duty with which you were entrusted. Governor Hampton has issued a second p)roclanmation entrusting thme .State into Governor Simpson's hands, and the latter is again acting gover nor. Although Governor Hampton is said to be convalescing he has at times been In a very critical condlitioni, more so, p)erhmaps, than the outside ,rorld has been aware of. It is be lieved now that lie will be spared for many more years of usefulness. The Legislature will scnd him to the United States Seniate, and there, his wisdom and moderation will be of great service to his State anid to the* law and order party throughout the United States. Mackey's Troubles. E. W. M. Mackey is having a rough time with his perjured witnesses and trumpied up eases in the Federal Court.. IHe first brought up the Williamsburg cases-those alleged outrages that curdled the .National Repuzblican's heart about election time-and although every effort was made to prove the charges, the wit nesses blundered so egregiously, or lied so palpably, or honestly confessed' that they knew so little, that the grand jury promptly found "no bill," thus disposing of Swalls' slanders. This was by no meanms palatable bo the martyrized Mackey, so he had the grand jury discharged, and resorted, to the device of trial by information Judge Bryan's decision that parties can be tried only on Indictment by a grand jury beig overruled by Bond. But Mackey was here more unibrtu nate than before. Three gentlemen of Clarendon were tried on the chamge of interfering with . sjupgryAgor. Upon the' testimony offereod by; the } prosecution the falsity of* thi charge wa.so cnierl shown th.t Jud.e Bond himself directed the jury.to find Pa Verdict of "not guilty." Thus is the bottom falling out of the prosecu tions. More than this, the United States Commissioners are dropping prosecu tions in order to save the prosecuting witnesses from conviction of perjury. Their stories have been so easily dis proved that the penitentiary is fairly yawning for them. Their only salva tion lies In having all proceedings dropped. The Radicals are not making as much capital out of' the outrige business as they txpected. And Mackey, especially, is unhappy. ON TH.WRAMPAGE. Considerable excitement was aroused at a performance last Sun day evening in the Grand Opera House, Milwaukee, by the 'extraor dinary behavior of one of the prin cipal.inembers of the company. The piece was Miss Lina Tetterhorn's Bnsational drama, "Tina, the Milk Vender," which has been rendered with bone success in English. This time it was given in its original German. In the principal scene a large dog is introduced, hauling the milk-wagon of "Hartina," the heroine of the play. This dog un, derstands English thoroughly, but, having had only the advantage of a single rehearsal in German, Le became somewhat mixed a,i to his business--not understanding the language and of course m.istaking his cue. When the comedian comes on and says."Hartina, are you here?" it is the dog's cue to stand still until Hartina and her lover em brace and then sing a duet. Then ho follows Hartina around the stage with the milk-cart, and so on. On this occasion, when the words "Hartina, bist du lier ?" were ut tered the dog made a jump for the comedian, who took freight and ran off the stage. The dog followed barking furiously, and scatteiing the milk-pails all over the stage. Hartina screamed and took refuge among the opposite wings. Tho dog presently reappeared, and spy ing the prompter seated in his half moon in front of the footlights, he m-ide a plun)ge for him. The promp ter dropped his book and dived through the trap,door.. The dog, now thoroughly aroused, went after him, followed by the milk-wagon ,ind what was left of the cans. Amid the yells of the audience an effort was made to rescue the un happy and aifrighted proipter. Seizing the tailboard of the eart, some of,tho people on the stage gave a strong pull and a pull altogether, when up came the wagon, and then the clog and finally the prompter the latter in a helpless condition with the fangs of the infuriated inimal firmly fastened to that part of his garment which was the last to disappear from sight. A m)uzzle was procured and( the (log was led fromn the stage, yelping at the prompter and looking daggers in bhe direction of the coimmedian. 3rd1er was eventually restored and the piece proceeded,-Un/ticago T'ri BEN. BUTLER's BROKEN BETRoTH mr.--Ben. Butler, according to a Western newspaper, wvas once en anged to a young lady of Water ville, Me., and to break off the rnatch, which for some reason dis,. pleased him, hit upon the notable xpedient of going upon a feigned ipree and jamming an offensive sitizen's hat over his eyes. The :eckless inebi iate was promptly ar . :estedl andI fined ; the girl wrote a letter repuidiatinig him ; her father threatened to kick him out of doors iever he ventured near the house, md the wily young man chuckled greatly at the success of his inno-. 3ent stratagem. The Canadian House of Commons ipartment is carpeted every two years. The carpet is always pur shased in England. A new Spe ik.. Br's chair is needed every session, not on account of the old one beingv worn out, but because it is custo rmary to give each speaker the chair be sat in. The New England railroads have voted that the half'-fare tickets to clergymen shall be discontinued from and after the 1st January, 1879. T HE WINNSB O.O H OTE L MRS. M. W. BROWN.
