THE NEWS AND HERALD. WINNSBOIO, S. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1879. R. MREANS DA VIS, EDITOR. JNO. S. tEYNOLDB. ASSOCIATE EDITOn. PRESIDENT A. D. WVHITE, of Cornell University, has been appointed Minis ter to Germany. lie was a pet of Grant's and served on the notorious San Domingo Con111s1111sion. YEAns AcO Switzerland became a land of moral ideas and relined senti inent, and could no longer bear the spectacle of a human being dangling by his neck between heaven and earth. The death penalty was abolished. But crime increased to such an extent, and murderers manifested so little f1ear of the law, that the Swiss have been compelled to take a step back ward. A bill is now in course of en actment restoring capital punishment. Switzerland's act is commended to our Northern brethren, who, under their benignant, laws, ire raising an Immense crop ot burglars, wifb-poison ers and incendiaries. HATES is TEAIINU his vaunted civil service reform to tatters. His last achievement ila this line is the niomi nation of 1). T. Corbin for Chief Jus tice of Utah. Justice weeps at the attempted profanation of her sanetna ry. We pity the poor devils whose destinies may rest in Corbin's hands. lie has proven himself coli, cruel, un scrupulous and devilish, with no more appreciation of law, in its higher sense, than swine have for pearls. Ils diabolic persecution of alleged ku-kluk, with packed juries and Fed eral bayonets, speaks volumes. The manner In which he backed up the Canvassing Board ill its defiance of the constitution and statutes, show that he is 110 more fitted to dispense justice on the civil side of the court than he is to sit il crimninal cases. The Radicals are preparing for a raid on the Mormons, and for the purpose of harassing and injuring these peo ple, and stealing their money, no better tool than Corbin can be found. But a Democratic Senate will be eternally disgraced if it hesitates for a moment to hurl Corbin's nomination back in the President's face. Democratie Folly. The Democrats certainly ear an good deal of the reputation for st,upidi ty given them by their opponents. The other day Tucker offered a bill allowing ex-Confederates to onter the United States army. Why he did this at an extra session, and especially at this juncture when the South is bat tling desperately aiga ist the accusa tion that having cap)tuired Congress she intends to revolutionize the gov ernmnent, wye cannlot, for the world, conceive. If she did contemplate revolution, she could uiot p)ossibly conceive a better plan for ensurinig success than the offlcering of' the army with mna in symnpathy with the move menit. Of' courlse the bill1 failed, but It servedl to add anIother' link to thle chlain of Radical argulnmnt. Genleral Chalmers was equllly unfo rt unmate w~hien he said in his speech that the South wams not afraid of revolution. She wais acculstomned to thle idea sinice tile days of' Washlington. lIn striking contr'ast with nll this wvas Ilihl's mans terly retort to Blaminie,' that the South hlad lost all by revolut.ion, and( the Radicals had gained eighteeii years of power by it; anId thlat tIle dlesire for 'revolution w~as confluied to the Riadi cal br'east. We have no doubt that imn time everyv cit izen of' tIhe Unitedl States, wvhatev'er his record, will be eligible f'or appoinltmlent ill theC armny. But it is wvell enough not to crowd things. Tile three measurles no0w be fore Congiress wvill sufficiently fest the skill and p)luck- of the DemIocraLts with out having aniother bone of contenltion thrown iln. The Objections to Randall's Election. Fr'om o private letter received fr'om Hlon. John IH. Evinis we are enabled to give thme reaIsons that implelled the OPl.ositioni to Mr. Rlandall's re-election by those who were not mnerely actuat ed by persBonah motives. .'Tho fIrst charge brought against Mr'.' Randall was that in organiz7ing the committees of the last House he 'allowed his pireju dices against those who had opposed hin, and his desIre to secure re-elec tion, ifluenice him too greatly." Ini or'der' to cap)ture the Southern vote, the chairmianship of every Iiportant commiittee excep)t the "Ways and Means" was given to some Southern man, Tenniessee alone receiving three imp)ortantL appoi ntmaents. Colonel Evins says: "The chairmanship of not a single Important coTmmittee was given to the Northwvest, which comitted among Its representatives soine of the strongest men on our' side." 'Colonel Evins could niot see the "polioy" of putting a Northlern man in the speak ership to give the organizatioh through it. .'nnmmp1ttOan t tJiE Bomth li thinks that by not electing Blackburt "we lost i golden opportunity f-) sileucing forever the oft repeate< charge that a Southern man Canno yet be intrusted with power." Black burn and the South could aive st impartially organized (Ite flouse as t< defy the criticism of the people of th North. Randall can give no such as suratee for the $o tth, and he wil iatittuaIlly, as he did bebfor, "give t< Sonthern Itepreseltatives that ver power which the friends of Mr. Ban (all say it is dangerous for them. t< wield. Blackburn could and wouk have done full justice to all sections Randall cunnot and will not do it. unless his ambition is satistled so fai as the speakership is concerned." A t a meeting of Congressmen beforc the end of last Congress, to discuss the spe+tkership, such Northern Democrat. as McMahon and Ewing, of Ohio Morrison and Springer, of Illinois and ltauk, of Wisconsin, said: "W will cheerfully support a Southert man, and think as a matter of policy that such a man should be elected. I will do us good at (lie North by put ting to rest the cry that the Soutl cannot yet be trusted." Colonel Evin: concltules: "Influenced by such con siderations as I have stated, and man11111 more which I have neither space no time to dwell upon, 1, with such abSc and conservative meni as Tucker House and others, voted for Black. burn. Many more of the best men o this section who 1 know sympathizec with us in our views voted for Mr Randall, simply because they had beet honored by him with important con mtittees. I have seen no reason t< change my opiiton, and believe thl argumenits for the re-election of Mr Randall will hold good twenty year, frot now if they hold good to-day." Colonel Evits distinctly states tha he had himself nto grievance to re dress, that thie Committees on whicl he was appointed were as good al he, a new man', could expect. Ii foruned his opinion deliberately am without passion or prejudice. As we regretted his vote in a forme issue, we take pleasure in presentint Colonel Evins' views, though thel were not intended for publication We still adl.ere to our former posi tion: not that we doubt. ourselves foi a momeunt that the South can bi trusted with power. But in the faci of all the howls about the Rebe SHiiate, and the Conifederacy capturit Washiigton, and such stuif, it is wis, to go slowly and carefully. Stil Colonel Evits states his side of thi Case strony:ly. It is undeniable tha Ranadall has shown prejudice and sell aggrandizement in his appointmentia Instead of following the old precedent of giving his opponents for the speak er'shipl imiportant coimmittees, lie ovet slaughed them all in thie Forty-fflu Congress. IIo may be wiser tli imea. If not more judicious, he ma: well expect defeat in 1880. X EW OFs0 THlE DAY .

BalT .Jr*., Boll of.Ma\jot' D. T1. Barr, ih lives near ,Gilbert Hollow, in1 Loxing ton county, met with a serIone, if no i fatal accident, on last Monday morn r" ing. It seens the young man went to the barn after some peas which were in a box in the second story. The box t contained some five or six bushels. - Young Thomas pulled the box to the l'head of the stairs and got in front of it to slide it down behind him, but his strength being unequal to the occasion, he was precipitated to the bottom, the box rushing after, one corner striking ! I hint on the left side of the head, cut tin. entirely through the flesh just below the jaw bone, the gash extend ing from the ear to the chiln, and ex posintg the glands of the throat. His teet.h on ile left side were shattered into pieces. It is feared, also, that. ho has received severe internal injuries. I)r. haves was called in to attend the unfortunate suflerer, and fro"m 111111 we obtalined our iutbrnmation a few hours after the accident occurred. We have heard nothing later of his condition.

A dressing which is at once a g r o o a b I e, healthy, and ef fectual for pre s er vi ng the hair. Faded or gray hair' is soon restored to its original color, ewith the gloss and freshness of yiouth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldnbens often, though not always, cured by its use. Noth.. ing can restore the hair Where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefvlness by this application. Instead of foul in g the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some p)reparationls dan gerous, and imi'urious to the hair, the Vior can onl benefit but not hna it. If wanted umrely for a HAIR DRESSIN~G, nothing else can be found so desir able.
