WINNSBORO, 8. C. TURADAYD DECBMBR j19, 1878. R. M ANS DAVIS, Eimo. "O. 8. REYNOLDS. AssoCIATZ EDITOR. GOLD WAS soLD) at par in New Yorh on the 17th, for the first time since thc sutipension of specie payments in 1862. The sale evoked enthusiastic cheering. Specie resumption whieli goes into 6ff'ect on the 1st of January is pronounced an accomplished fact. THE CHiEEnN inforiation comes from Columbia that on Tuesday night Governor Hampton seemed to be fi proving. He ate solid food for the first time since his accident, and ex pressed the belief that lie has turned the corner. Ile is still, however, not out of danger. Afraid of an Open Investigation. The Senate, in Washington, as on Monday the scene of a very heated debate ovor an amendment offiered by Senator Butler, of this State, to Blaine's investigating resolution. Senator Butler demanded that the investigations shall be held with open doors, so that witnesses may not false ly swear away the reputation of re spectable citizens without an oppor tuidty of answering being aflorded. In this he was supported by Senators Merrimon and Bayard, the former of whom said he had served on one or two secret Investigating conunittees already, and had been astounded by the falso swearing of irresponsible witnesses. No man's character is safe in such hands, as lie is kept ignorant of what is going on until too late to reply. But the Radicals claimed that the witnesses would be intimidated unless allowed to testify in secret. The vote was a strict party one, and resulted in a tie, the amendment thus being defeated. It will be seen by this that the Radicals merely want campaign documents, and they know they can manufacture them better in secret than in open daylight. A propos of this whole matter, the New York Herald very wisely urges the Democrats not to give any op portunity for discussion of laine's resolution, its sole object is to excite attention, and the best way to meet it is to refuse to advertise it, and to let it die still-born. Unless the Demo crats are sure they can make capital, which is very doubtful, they had bet ter the matter severely alone. Standing by the Settlement. The State legislators have been getting each other by the ears over the State debt; and most earnest efforts have been madle to abolish the Bond Court as a preliminary step, it is charged, to repudliation. TIhe House on Monday refused to abolish the Court by a vote of 57 to 5?!, and then by laying on~ the table a moitioni to reconsider, eff'ectually shelved it for the session. The argument urged against the Court is that it is unconi stitutional. This is answered by say lng that eveni, if it is, which is denied, a decree made by it can do iio harm if it does no good, and thiP it is better to let the Supreme Court decide the constitutIonality of the Bond Court. The question is an old one, anid the present compromise was efleeted to prevent dissensioni in the party. It seems to be folly to build up one day and pIull downl the next. Let the binding obligation of the debt be first decided, and then it is time to talk about paying it. Again, rep)udiation is urged by some who dlesire to dis rup)t the party, and p)arty welfare de mands opp)osition to this. Lastly, soe go so far as to urge a repudiation of all the debt, riot only that made by the Radicals but the just obligations incurred by tihe State before the war. This is dishonesty, It can be called by no other name. Such being the ultimate object of some, care should be had not to allowv the first step ini tis direction to be taken. All things considered, it Is better to stand by the settlement. We are p)leased to' see that Messrs. Clowney, Br'ce and Gaillard idl voted against re-op~ening the (questionl. We are convinced that thoy stand on the right ground. The Democratic Party has already suffered enough fromi G reenbackism, in flat ion and other kindred projects. It should1( not be further load(ed at the Present timne with repudiation. 2'ITE E TuoDX8 T coxYFENxe*. tFnox Oun OWNCOESNDT. .Meeare Editors: In my last article 0on the present session of the South Carolina Conference I closed wvith some mention of .the ex. anmation of lministerial and oflicial. character. All of the preachers passed this review. Whien the Itiner ant system of this church is considered it at once becomes e.vident that -this feature is a necessity. . Under its 01pe. entire stranger to the chargo which hi is to serve, yet., vith this recoinmendai tioni, lie is known. The various conmittees-on educa tion, books and perlodicals, Sunday schools, Bible causes, temperanice publishing house, joint board o finance-reported. The propositio to change the ratio of representatioi in general conference received a unani lous vote. About $6,000 was im ested inl the blonds for relief of the publishing house. These bonds draw t'our pei cent. and the investine it is secured b3 mortgage. The missionary meeting, addresse by lRev. Dr. Wilson, the missionar secretary, wtas a decidod succesa It every way. The next Conference Is to be hold in Charleston. The varions churches were general. ly opened and occupied on Sunday by some of the ministers of the Confer. ence. Bishop Wightman's sermon ir the morning was on the Personafif v ol the Holy Ghost, and was full of the glorious doctrine. Though an ol( man the Bishop still preaches with his old time vigor and imasterly ability. IRev. S. A. Weber was elected editor of our Conference organ, the Southern Christian Advocate, vice Rev. F. M. Kennedy, D. D., rezigncd. Let me in closing allude to one of the most interesting incidents of the Conference. Bishop Wightman arose to read a telegram. It was concern ing our governor. It announced that there was a favorabF. change, when, with one occord, the body arose and sung "Praise God from1 Whom all blessings low." It was a thrilling sCenle. A MEMBER.
