WINNSBORO, S. C. THlU18DAY, .FJ'Dl tY 27, :1879. it. M EANS 1), VIN, IDITon. J.YO. S. JREYNOLJI)5, AssOCIATS EDITOR. TEII>; News and Courier is engaged in a heated controversy with the Abbeville iMedium and the Anderson papers upon the subject of the public debt and the phosphates. Tiu; SaNAT'rE on Tuesday by a vote of yeas twenty-flive, nays thirty-six, reftsed to take up (lie resolution de claring D. T. Corbin entitled to the seat as Senator from South Carolina In the place of General Butler. Messrs. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, Conover, Matthews and Patterson voted with the Democrats in the negative. This decides the case in Butler's favor. WASINGTON'S Ba Irn DAY was cele brated with great colat in Charleston. A magnificent military display occu pied the day, while the evening was passed in hearing an address by Maj. II. S. Thompson before the Citadel graduates, and by the presentation to Dr. Grange Si8tons of a hamdsome jewel in recognition of his services in the yellow fever epidemics in Savan nah and Memphis. The Greenville Guards, and Adjutant General Hll of Massachusetts, were anonug the guests of the occasion. Bring Them Back. The News and Couricr says that. Governor Simpson is constant.ly in receipt of letters from South Caroli na's emigrants to other States, ex pressing their sad disappointmen t and imploring aid to return to their old homes. Governor Simpson ('an (1 nothing for them himself', and the State is losing the use of strong hands and willing hearts. In the general discussion of immigration it has been proposed that. much greater good would result from bringing back to South Carolina her own children who have strayed oil, than in importing strangers who know nothing of our ways and methods of work, and may fnd it hard to become aflilliated. This is a capital suggestion. Besides bringing new muscle into the Slate great advantage would result in turn ing the returned prodigals into ar'gn ments against the prevalent idea that other States, notably Texas, are better p)laces to find work in thani South Carolina. Those brought back, h av lng once tasted the dead sea fruit of emigration, will go energetically to work to improve their condition here, feeling that home is the best place. The Legislature should seriously con sider this umatter. If nothing else can be (done, arrangements cani at least be maude to secure immigrants' tickets. Let us bring them all back. The Chief Justiceship. Some of the opponients of the Con solidation bonds either directly or in directly say that. they will be0 careful to elect as chief just ice sonmc lawyer who opposes the Consol idaftion settle ment. T1hie position thecy take is somewhat obscure onm many points, but the gist is that the chilet' just.ice must be chosen for a purpose--not because of general lit ness for the othiee, but to miake a certain dlecisioni. This Is gettinug on prletty far. The Supreme Court in the course of six years will have hundreds of p,oinmts ar'gued be fore It, many of the greatest import ance, and yet only one0 p)oint is to be considered in selecting an occupjanmt of the bench. A lawyer miay be wronig on ninety-nine p)oints iand yet be right on one. That doees not 'fit him for judge. A notable instance of choosing judges for a purpos)0e is given in Grant's appointment to the Supreme Bench of judges who would decide according to his views about the legal tender act, lie foisted upon the country Joe Bradley, of Eight-to Seven memory. We want, no Joe Biradley's oni our Supi'omno Bench. We want able meni who ill (dec1(o the law lrrespective of prejudice. We want able men. And rIght huere let us say wvith all modesty that we doubt the ability of t hose lawyers who argue that thme ConsolIdation scheme Is not binding in law. Even Judge Thomson, whose decision In the Bond .Court gives so 'much joy to the oppo) nenits of Consolidation, was too good a lawvyer to base lis opIion on tIhe genieral iss.u,e. Hie beat arounid thme bush aund decided onily a minor p)oint, dlstinctly declaring that lie would not consider other issiues, which Issues, in our opInion, wer'6' the pith of the whole matter'. It is useless to slimng niud at the b)ondlhders. These are pecuniar'ily htitorested, and they are going to wvork to. prove their case, muid or no mud. wishes to refuse to recognize the fraudulent portion of the debt,. Does the Intelligenccr meant that, it pro poses to pay the an/te-ltccons/rutctioli debt dollar fir dollar? If so we can appleCiate its moti'es inl disowning the tuncleanl thing. But if', With Gleneral Gary as onb of the leaders of the mnoveinent, it proposes to repudi I ate all the I adical debt and one-half of the unquestioned debt besides, we cannot, agree with it. There are but two logical courses to take. One is payment of the Democratic debt, dollar for dollar, and that alone: or the acceptance of' the compromise cm bracing all the Consolidation debt. We will agree to either. We cannot subscribe to any other plan. The News and Courier puts square ly a question we would like to see answered. Will the opponents of "fratd" obey and carry out the de cision of the Supreme Court, what ever it may be; or will they hold themselves free either to receive or reject it as it may or may not be in accordance with their .. islhes? Until this question is answ red there can be no argument. Let the courts prevail though the heaveis fall. wraSHINxTox 0oss01n. What a Gontleman Saw in a Ianblo Current News and Tlotes.

To begiin, your correspondent, being determined to spend his holiday, about t0 o'clock, a. 11., set out iii quest of whatever adventures fite light have in store. 'Tlie first thing that attratted attention was t.le con spicuous diSplay of flags and bunting on many public and private buildings, indicating a day of national inpor Lancec. It is customuary here for flags to be flung to the breeze on such days as W1atslinglton's Birth-I)ay, I)coora tion Day, Thanksgiving Day, &c. Wentding my way to Seventh street (which, by the way, is probably the next street ill importance to I'eunsvl vania avenue, as a mart of traide and a thoroughfare of fatshiion), I foundr :an Luusual crowdl, seeingl y intent on going' to thle Capitol toe witness the sit ting of' Congress, and the p)rocession of thie fire companies. Joining the thirong, Pennsylvania avenue was soon reached, where the crowd was simly itmmiense. Congress had as senmbled about 11 o'clock. Ini a few minutes[the halls were crowded, andi also the (east Capitol steps, in front of which the comipanies were to 1pass it 1 o'clock. I Iav~ing ant hour to spare, the Seniate was v'isitedl and f'ound dis cussing the election law11s.

With the aid of the directory, the seat of Sena tor Butler was soon found, and1( after looking upon01 himi, it, may' be said with triuth, that, non11 illied his seat with woe grc, anid South Carolina may welbe proud that sihe has at, last one worthy to rep)resent her in tile United States Senate, aifter years of' mnisrepresentation1. ThIie proper timlue having arrived, the firemien mlar'ched past., and(, haivintg comae fromz the Execntive Mansion, returned to their quarter's.

Like a huge halif-flish ed chimnev, it has stood so long, that a sluggestion was recently made, tirumghi the public press, to discon1 (illue it aIlogether.

Among the proiinent Republicans who were in fivor of re strict.inig the iulmigration of these peo ple, were Senators BIliine and Conk ling; and Senator Thiulurmau anilolng the Democrats. liferring to the dangers of their influx into country, the Senator said: "Ilistory has uni formlly shown that wherever the Mongolians have obtained at foothold, they have never receded without bloody wars. They are not a desira ble population. We have had enough of mxinlg races, and I want no more of foreign degrade(d races in this coun try.
