,3A WINNSBORO, 8. C. I. MEVANS DAVIS, EDITOR. JNO- 8. RrNOLDS, AisooIATE EDITOR. THE NEW YORK World thinks that Bayard and hard money can easily beat Grant In 1880. A Waterhaul. The election cases are not resulting in a manner calculated to convince Mr. Hayes that he was not a little bit too hasty in his message, or to give much comfort to demagogues of the Blaine stamp. Thus far there have been several acquittals, some mistrials and a number of contlnuaices. Colo nel Mackey seems in his expedition after wool to be In danger of coming back shorn. The Williamsburg, Clarendon and Richland cases have ended in smoke, and the Sumter case has merely developed Sam Lee's powers for false swearing. He is contradicted at every point, and even himself modifies his charges. He has made out a good case of perjury, which will not be lost by the State. With decent juries the Federal trials are absurd farces, owing to the utter want of reliable testimony in behalf of the prosecution. As a last resort, it is reported, tYhe jurors at the next court will be compelled to take the iron-clad oath, the hope being that in this way the juries can be packed with renegades and hacks. Congress should Inmediately take steps to re peal the provision requiring this oath. Five Dollars a Day for Thirty Days. The House has made a good coin promise by passing a bill allowing members five dollars a day for not more than thirty days. The reaction from the exorbitant rates of pi.evious sessions led many to demand that the pay should be fixed at three dollars a day. But several members showed that this reduction would practically prevent poor men from serving in' the Legislature, as incidental expenses are no inconsiderable matter, and three dollars will not cover them. It is much better to give a good. per liem and to limit the length of scesion. The laborer Is Worthy of his hire, but he must not be too long finishing his job. Under the proposed 1411, the pay of the members will be only about twenty five thousand dollars, against several hundred thousand In the palmy days of Radicalism. Besides the consid eration of-pxpense a short session will be of service in preventing useless legislation.- Only measures of general Interest will receive attention. Again, many of our best citizens are willing to spend a month in Columbia, but they willl refuse to serve If required to absent themselves from business all winter and spring. Senator Hampton. As had been expected, the Legisla-. ture on Tuesday elected Governor Hampton to the UTnited States Senate. The unanimity of the vote, taken in connection with the circumstance that at the same moment the Governor was suff'eritig beneath the knife of the . surgeon, a1fd7his life was trembling in the balah6e, 'could not fail to pro duce a prbNutid sensatioti. Never before had~ it beene more clearly demonstrated'how near a place the Governor holds to the hearts of the people, and how in his efforts are centred the hopes of thQusands. Governor Hampton's career is a seemring anachronism. -The events connected with it are not to be found elsewhere in the humdrum practical life of the' nineteenth century. Its counterparts must be sought In those days In which knights and trouba dears abounded, and all Christendom was swayed by sentiment. If the Crusades were the poetry of wvar, no less has HamplIton's history beena the poetry of politics. South Carolina has ever played a peoullar part in the government. The old spirit of chiv alry, which impelled men to risk rep)utatlon, property and life itself for an idea, and to scorn to consider ex pediency when honor was at stake, still survived in the Palmetto State, and imparted distinguishing charac teristics to the p)eople and to their representatives. Here, then, wore the theatre and the man. Governor HIamp)ton came of historie ancestry. Before the wvar he distinguished him self in the arts of peace. During that struggle he achieved the highest honors as a soldier. But a nobler imture was in store. In the darkest period of our State's istory ho .was called to put himself at the head of a forlorn hope, i a contest against overwhelming numbers, perfect or ganIzation hWd the undisguised assist ance of th6deaal government. The campaign of 1878 was a poem, need ing only a Homer to perpetuate it in verse, or minutaqls- to ombalm It In song. nye personal m- .l~ Governor 1 1ampton organlized a part y out of discordant eleinets, revived hope in the hopeless, intlained on thuslasn to its highest point, and after an unprecedented campaign of sixty days, on which the heavens .ever frowned, won a peaceful, bloodless victory at the polls. Tlis was not all. In securing the fruits of victory lie evinced a degree of wisdom and statesmanship that be wildered even his warmest adioirers, and won for himself and his State the admiration of the North. which up to that point had beei bitterly hostile. In those days South Carolina was one vast asyluim of emotional insanity, and Hampton its keeper. One ints take would have ruined till. But he made none. Skillfully and sirely he solved the problemll an(f restoredi t chaos to perfect order. Two years li ter lie is re-elected Governor without tin opposing voice. Yet, inl his imloikent of triumph, a dreadful accident hefiils him, and changes the plaidits of the people into exclamations of grief. And now while medical skill is taxed to the utmost In aiding the forces of' life against the assaults of death, the summons is brought to his bedside that the State calls on hin to don his armor in her def'eice in a new and larger arena. Well may it be said that Governor, now Senator, iI amptonl is the central figure of a grand epic poem, having its lights and shatdes so strongly marked as to furnish abuid ant materials for sonie inspired soil of Song. And here let us hope that the thread may not bo snapped preia turely, but that all the events..of' the past may merely lead to some granider culmination in the fIulture, by which the names of Hanpton and South Carolina may be forever linked in glory. BOUND FOR MEnxico.--The great event of tle present week at Die West will be the meetiig of Presbytery, the ordiiation of Rev. N. E. Pressly aid the farewell meeting extended to him and his interesting himnily preparatory1 to their departure to Slexico.

FATAL Occuiu-cu.-On Saturday last young David Gibson, soti of the Iato :Jamles Gibson, was in Marionl dr'iviig a horse to a cart. When near Mr. Gasque's store the horse took fright, ran violently down Main street, and, being in the Ilabit of' going into the lot in rear' of Mr. 11. CroithietiiS store, suddenly turned across the bridge, throwing the young man vith great force against one of the elm tlreps on the si<lwalk, killing hiin in stntly. His head hit upon a knot on the ti'ee, crushing the skull. Trial Justice Evans, acting as coroner', held an iniquest, and a w'r-lict in accord tinee wvithi thme facts was rendered. - Mer'cha'nt and Fvarwr.,' HOM[ClIDE IN CHIESTER.-On Tuesday night of last week two negroes, Washi Cloud and Virgil llagsdaie, livinig oni the plantation of' Dr. S.

Dr. Andersotn, being called on to settle the disturbance, went to the scetne, atid while endear oi'ing to separ'ate the conmatanits, was struck by Wash Cloud. Dr'. Anderson in defendiniir hitmself' str'uck the ntegro on the beal with a pistol which was discharged, and( the ball entered the negr'o's temp1le and( paslsed through the br'ain, causing his detth in a shor't titme.- T rial Jiustice Raws dale, acting as coronter', sumnmonedl a jury of inquest otn Wedtnesday.

J. B. Norris, at Trenton, on Sunday night, and carried ofl' a considerable quantity of goods and( a few dlollars in money, which was left, in the drmaw. The goods taken were mostly small ai'ticles, such as cutlery, jewelry, &c., which f'act would strengthen the suts picion that thie buriglary was commit.. ted by tramps, and thiat they took, as they would lbe most likelv to do, onily such articles as they couldl most 'etadi lyI conceal.
