WINN.SBOO, S. 0. 2UESDAY, MA RCI 4: : 1879. R. MEANN DAVIY, EDITOR. JNO. S. REYNOLDS. ASSOCIATE EDITOR. LATEST ACCOUNTS from Washington indicate an extra session as inevitable. The two houses have disagreed on the appropriation bills. CoRBIN has caved. On Friday last the Vico-President laid before the Senate a communication from - the would-be Senator, in which he an nounces his withdrawal from- the contest. Ie takes the recent action of the Senate, in refusing to take up his case, as an iudication that the matter would not coimo up till the next session of Congress, and that it will therefore be useless for him to continue the contest. THE AnnEVI.LE 1Iedium says it will not obey the decision of the Supreme Court unless it be in accord ance with law. It has been generally supposed that it. is the peculiar busi ness of the Supreme Court to decide questions in accordance with law, and of the people to obey them. What other interpreter, or what superior facilities for obtaining the law, the .Medium has we cannot imagine. We ask for more light. TELLEn is not content with the falsehoods of Republican witnesses, but introduces into his report some novel lies of his own. Among others he says that t.isssue ballots were used inl every county save one in South Caro lina. The Nvews and Couricr says they were sent to only ten counties and that at least two of these did nothing with them. The other lies may be imag,ined. The report is similar to that made by all Radicals who have investigated the South since the war. PIESIm.:NT 1IAYEs has sent in his veto of the Chinese bill. lie has heeded the theorizers an( sentinmentalists of the East, and ignored the unanimous voice of the Pacific Coast. Such a course as this brought on the late war, aid California may yet give trouble. The only thing that may provemit Soulherii sympathy from extending to h1e1,, is that she voted twice for Grant and once for Hayes, both of wlhom were run by a party that oppessed the whites of the South, who were dealing witlh a simiilar' problemi. Had there beeni a hundred thousand Chinamien in Cali-. fornia in 1860 the Union would have beenu dissolved. GEORGIA is enhjOyinmg a rich cont.ro v'ersy In which one otf the parties is the wife of Parson Felton, Independ ent Congressnman from thle seventhI district. The camnpaign in Novemb er was very heated. Senator Gor'don stuimpinag thme district for thme organizedl Democracy, amnd Mrs. Felton, w is said to be an admirable lady, aiding hor' husband muaterialhly. Rhecently' Mr. A. Wm. iReese, a Georgia newspap)er muan, charged in the papers that tihe Rep)ublican national conmittec had( been asked for funds for Feltoni. Mr.s. Felton wrote a v'ery bitter and un ladylike letter, denying thme charges and asserting that Senator Gordon was her real aCcuser. She says she did write to Senator Ferry to make the Georgia Republicans stop) aiding Lester, tihe regular' nominee, but that was all. Then she wcnt Onl amnd fired hot shot into Gordon, In consequence of his connection with the Book Publishing Company and the South er~n Life, intimating that he ought not to be so sensitive about mioney mat ters, and lastly she calls huni a Senai torial blatherskite. This is a most undlignified and unladylike p)rocedure. If Parson Felton could not defend Is wife's reputation, ghe shou]d treat tihe matter with sildnt disdin. Of courRe Senator Gordon can say nothing; and nobody expects him to reply. Mrs. Felton has hurt herself and iiher hus band, and done nobody else any harm. Admitting that she asked for no0 funds, lhen letter to Ferry shIows con clusively wvhere Felton looked 1for friends-in tihe Radical ranks. Geor gia surp)rises everybody by senidinig suich men to Congress--It matters not how good Democrats they may be whenI they get there. Pederal Despotism. No observer can have failed to mark thme rapid str'ides by whichi the United States Courts have beeni en trenhiling upon the lawvs and rights of the separate States..- Yet every stop prepares thme way for a still more fingrant invasion. Although Bond and Settle and Woods anid others, have gotten alone pretty far in their new role., Rives, of Virginia, dis tane8 them all. It will be remnem beredi that htine' months ago lie re juries altogether white. The novdl plea was raised that. the law requires a trial by one's peers, and that blacks should have been on the jury. The Virginia Legislature 1)romptly touh the matter in halnd and ordered the attorney-general to appeal to the United States Conrt. Meantwhile, Judge Iives, th.lirsting for imore blood, has decided that the paluity of negro jurors in the State Courts is an evi dence of conspiracy against the amendments on the part of those who drew the juries. lie has therefore procured the indictment ot five county judges, on the charge of discriminatinlg against color, and lie proposes to put thelil inl jail, Suchi a high-handed outrage was never heard of before. The people of Virginia are justly aroused. But. this is a matter not I confined to the Old Dominion alone: it afllects every State ill the Union. It is not so much whether the amend mnents are violated as whether' a United States judge has the right to drag State judges to trial whenever he pleases. If so, the latter are but dependents and adjuncts of the Fed eral judiciary, lere lyrllidolls to do the bidding of iasIers at the risk of punishment. The liberties of a peo ple rest with their courts. Evil is the day when the latter become mere eugines of oppression. State judges in New York or Massachusetts or Ohio can be dragged to trial if their jlries ar"e composed of one ravice, for both races are found in each of these States. 'T'hat tlh'' are hot, molested is simply because the Radical party is afraid to practise its outrages in the North. The South has no rights, and consequently sullers. This Federal interference is not re ceiving the attention its gravity de mands. A simunlltaneous protest should be raised in every part of the Union. If these enlcroacllien t, lado one by one, and cautiously, are acquiesced in, despotisil ill a short while will have fixed itself too firnly on the United States to be shaken ofi. Let the )elocrats speak out boldly. REMOVAL. ABOUT the 15th of March we pro pose to removo our stock of goods to the store now occupied by J. M.
