THE NEWS AND HERALD. WINNSBORO, 8. 0. .842URDAY, MACHWI 15, a 1870. It. A E.AN8 DA VIS, EDITOR. JNO. S. REYNOLDS. ASSOCIATE EDITOR. IN PRESENTING the views of Con gressmen we onitted to say that thir teen are for Hendricks. VINNIE REAM's latest is her best. It weighs about twelve pounds. The piece has been called a Cupid.-Ex change. Other people call it a baby. CHARLES NOwnIOFF says: "There are still Democrats who believe that they will elect a President in 1880, but their number is decreasing." Oh, Charles, how can you say so? IN VIEW of the close division in Congress and the remarkable mor tality of Democratic Congressmen, it would be well in future to make every candidate produce aphysician's cer tificate of soundness. Good-Bye, Aaor, The Liberia Exodus Association has deservedly come to grief. The bark Azor has been libeled in the United States Court in the . sum of $6,733, most of which is due the captain and mate. It is claimed that the vessel is worth twenty-five thousand dollars, but as the association cannot pay off the clains against her she will be sold. Thus will be terminated one of the chief swindles of the day. Any balance left over after Batisying claims silpuld be expended in charter Ing a ship to go to Liberia and bring back the deluded people who were .carried over there to sufler. Home is the best place for white and black. Grant's Triuntphal Procession. The Rlepublicans are making the most desperate efforts to retain their grasp on the Presidential chair in 1880. Fearing that their other leaders may be overwhelmed at the polls, they are raising the war cry and howl lug lustily for Grant. The schemes on foot to manufacture enthusiasm over .the Smoky Casar are anusing in the last degree. The most absurd of -all is conveyed in a letter received at the Omaha ollce of the Union Pacific - Railroad, which "details a plan for a -grand excursion from Washington to San Francisco, about the 1st of Au gust next, to receive and welcome ex President Grant on his return from the Orient. The writer states he has spent some weeks at Wa-shington, conversed with leading Senators and llpresenItatives, and that many favor the project enthusiastically3. Partien lar's of a trip through Inidiana, cor respondence with Kellogg and Pitkinu in Louisiana, and other details are .given, which indicate that from fifty thousand to seventy-flyve thiousalnd persons wvould join in the excursion. Preparations for such an excursion would require much time, ami tihe letter is writteni to secure reduced rates previous to any public announce ment. It is stated that every State in the Union wvill be represenited, andi the excursion wvill i'equire tX'om one hundred to one hundred and twentv flye trains of ten cars each." This would be one of' the biggest cir'cuses .ever seen in America-Grant being the elephant, and1( his toadies the asses, apes and parrots eof the Procession. Such~ a nonsensical parade would ex Cite the disgust of every one. The Military.' Adjutant General Moise has issued an order to those militia companies holding Roberts' rifles to) return them as unserviceable weapons, and to send them to a firm in New York for ex change. The State appropriates flye thousand dollars of the incoming taxes for exchanging weapons, andl while the new arms cannot be ob tained till fall, they will be given to those coinpanies that first hand in their old1 ones. inasmuch as the militia are not expected to enter2 into any war in the near future, and as the su1ply of arms of all sorts is very limited, It may be asked why not retain the 01ld guns and expend the appropriation. in purchasing new ones, so as to increamse the flumbor, instead of improving the quality. A gun Is a gun as far as mereo drilling is concerned, and in thme opinion of a civilian, it Is better to gratify five coinpanies, even at the risk of giving seime of them inferior Weapons, .than to equip only thm'eo with rifles wvar ranted to perforate a hiostile fryader a mile off. The wvay to preserve milifta ry organis.ationi is to provide as many companies with arms us possible. No company will exist any lengthm of time -without megular equipmients, and p even unser'vicable rifles are better than none at all. South 'Carolina does not propose to whip the United States governyn9nt, or acquire Mexico within the rspxt sten years, thereforo why .deprive tha militaryo tei first be equipped. Then It will be time enough to begin the task of ex changing for first class weapons. We observe also that a court . mar tial has been called to convene In Columbia on the first day of Decem ber next, over which Maj.-Gen. John D. Kennedy will preside, assisted by Brig.-Gen. G. Richardson, Col. D. P. Sojourner, Lieut.-Col. R. C. Wahs, and Captains Wiley Jones and W. A. Courtenay. Charges will be preferred against all Adjutants who have failed to present. their detailed reports as required by order. Col. Louis LeConte, Judge-Advocate-Goneral, will attend and represent the State at such con rt martiat. Things are beginning to look squal ly. Those adjutants who foolishly accepted olice in the State militia, looking only to the gold lace, brass buttons and the glory of the dress parade, will now tremble in their boots at the imminent danger thei' are threatened with of death sentence by a drun-head court martial. And as all the worthless weapons will have been changed by Dece.nbor for others of a deadly nature, the condened canl indulge in no pleasing hope of a cap snapping or a gun bursting and hoist ing the executioner with his own petard. By a singular omission no provision is made for killing oll'sever al lundred governor's aides at the same time. 'This is discrimination of the most flagrant nature. A court martial should be organized to see that every colonel in the service whether of stall or line have a pair of spurs at least six inches in diane ter, and not less than fort.y-eight brass buttons on the breast and sixteen on the coat-tail. The adjutants must not, sufl'er alone. If they do they will ever be mourned as martyrs to the cause, and their death will be avenged.
