WINNSBORO, S. 0. -THURDAY, MAICI ar, . 18r0. R. M AN# DArIH, EDITOR. J"Q. S. REYNOLDS. Al8OczATa EDiToR. THa CASE' agallst Chamberlain has been continued on account of the death of his child and severe illness in his family. C.ardozo has made up his mind to give himself up nd serve out his.sentence. SENATOR HAMPTON is slowly iM proving. It is thought, however, that an operation will not be required to remove the protruding bone. He will hardly reach the Senate before the regular session. VIRGINIA has about succeeded in compromising with her creditors. Tennessee is not so fortunate. The Legislature refuses to pay more than forty cents on the dollar, while the bondh'olders refuse to accept less than sixty. TuE PROPOSED supervisors' bill will provide for a supervisor from each party, not to boss the job, but merely to act as witnesses and report viola tions of law to the United States Court. The sweet-scented marshals are consigned to limbo. A GENTLEMAN well informed iI na tional politics prophesies that the Democrats will nominate Thurman or Hancock for President and take the Vice-President from New York, so as to make that State safe. Not a bad Idea. Clarkson N. Potter would make a strong run, or if the "boys" wish an allitteration, why not Hancock and Hewitt? THE CONTEST In New York between Tammany and anti-Tammany is wax ing warmer than ever. Mayor Cooper is overhauling all the ' Tammany officials. The county clerk has been removed for charging excessive fees and refusing to submit his books for inspection. The police commissioners are now under fire and decapitation is momentarily expected. We do not see how the New York Democrats can be harmonized in time for the fall elections. The National Democratic Committee should take the matter in hand and put an end to the quarrel. Protecting from Persecution. We publish to-day portions of an editorial of the News and - Courier which are true as gospel. It is the duty of the Democratic party of the whole State to see that the parties who have been inlicted on trumped up charges be not compelled to defray the expenses of'their trial. Most of them are patriotic young men who are poor, and as they are'merely the in struments used by the Radicals to crush the Democrats they should be stoutly championed. The intelligent jurors who have been ch.osen owe a stern duty to the State to attend the court, and prevent a packing of the jury with worn out Radical hacks and loaf ers. In the speaker's election in Wash ington the Demnocrats had a majority of one of all the members elected. If the contest is so close what wvill be the result of losing one or two districts in this State next time? Had the Radi cals cdpt.urnd this Congress three or perhaps all of the Democrats from South Carolimi Would have been ousted. in order to"pi'eserve the State, we must control Congress. To. do this we must aid the lower counties, and pro tect Democratic citizens from a ruth less Federal administratlon. Writing by Telegraph. Wonders will never cease. When the world was startled by the Inven tion of the telephone, through which voices could be distinguished at the distance of a hundred miles, and when, still later,. the phonograph bottled up words and songs and decanted theme out again, it was though~t that the limit of Invention in this particular direction was reached. But the soientifie world Is 'again startled by the ,production of a tele graphic apparatus by means of which the inventor has seated himself In one office and ,Wrltten a letter, and a facsimile of his handwriting has been taken in a place fQrty miles away.' To what distanoe this experimecnt can bd extended has not yet been discovered, but the inVdtion is pronounded one of practical' ittlity. 'Te 'Sclentifeo Amer'ican produp,es afiheslmile of the writing whiei is quite legible and has marked charapteristics. 2 The instrita ment was Invented by Mr. - E. A. Cowper, a distinguished British En gineer. The principle Is quite simple. Two telegraphie lines are required. The operator moves with his 'hand an upright jegecll:or stylpe, as1 In .ordina -ry writing. The stylus ha.. two arms connected- with It, throhl 0one of which a current Is sent along one of the wires whenever an-upward move apei6 is made; the other ..arm. traus. mitting a cuirrent through the second wire when the stylus is moved later ally. Theso' motions at the receiving end of the line operate upon the needles of two ,alvonlohneters which move like the needles of a compass. These needles are combined by deli cate silk threads with at delicately sus pended ink tube from which a dilminu tive stream falls upon the paper be neath ; the arrangement being such that the combined motions of the galvonometcrs' move the ink tube through the same curves as the stylus at the sending office moves through, thus rcprodtucing the writing or draw ing precisely. It is not probable that. this instrument can compete in ra)id: ty with s0111 of the telegraphic int struments now in use, but' it may be cooie useful, especially when import ant messages are transmitted, requir ing proof of authenlticity. A case in point arose recently. James It. Keene, a prominent capitalist of the North, has recently been ondeavoring to control the grai-n market of Chicago, and by purchasing Iillions of bushels of wheat he succeeded in raising the price considerably. Two or three weeks ago his agents in Chicago re ceived a telegram from New York signed "Keene," ordering theut to sell a million bushels next day. They (lid so, and the price of wheat fell three cents in consequence. Other opera tors, supposing that Keene foresaw a tumble, hastened tilemselves to un load, and thus created a p'lnic. Keenti immediately pronounced the despatch a forgery, and his agents had to make good the loss, amounting t6 thou sands. Detectives are at work to dis cover the perpetrator, but have not, succeeded yet. In all such cases agents are compelled to rely upon the precautions used by the telegraph company to prevent fraud; and when a clear forgery is executed they are bound to lose. had the Cowper tele graph been in use the agents would have known that Keene would himn self have written and signed the despatch amid could have detected a forgery. The advantages of a cheap system of transmitting signatures are boundless. It is to be hoped that Mr. Cowper or some one else may succeed in utilizing this invention.
