Thf people of Florence and West Marion are again fnl! of ibetr an- Dual “New Count ” project, and are out Ix-fore the Legislature with another long memorial, accompani ed by a new Bi'l, maps, statistic*, Ic., which have (a eu collected since the lu-t stsaicu, wli< n i licit scheme was so everwhelmiogly defeated. The chief redeeming feafute about this memorial ia tbar, iu most in stances, its signer* are repre.'eitia- live citizen of Marion and the town and vicinity of Florence ; the great wonder being that so many good signature* c»uld have l>et-u obtain ed to so peculiar a document. The only explanation we can give of tbe matter is that most of these gentle men were either iguotaiitof tbe con euts of the at tide which they were signing, or lacked a fa miliarity with certain facts which they are supposed to know. An extended discussion ot this remark able paper would seem to tie un necessary at this time, tor from present appearances those opposed to the scheme are not going to be caught uapping as they were during the early part of last sea sion. Notwithstanding the fact, therefore, that Florence has a large band of lobbyist* again on the scene in Columbia, (carried there a second time, doubtless, by the rails road authorities free of charge,) our representatives now have their facts prepared iu snob a way that the “New County” will in all probability be “nipped in tbe bud” tbi* time before it has had the op portunity of passing either House. Wc cannot refrain, however, from quoting the following sentences verbatim from tbe remarkable me morial above mentioned, and they are given to oar readers without comment, as statements which speak for themselves with no un certain sound: “Florence com mands not only much ot tbe trade of West Marion, hot also of Dar lington, North Williamsburg and North Claieudon Counties. . . The people iu the Comity who are near er to Florence than Darlington also object to the latter as a county sear, while those living equally near to both generally prefer Flors euce, aud do not object, at any rate with tew exceptions, to the change. . . . Tbe chief opposition radiates trout Darlington Court Hou.*e, where tbe merchants lawyers, brok ers, bankers aud capitalists Lei a natural rivalry towards their glow ing sister town!” Are these state* meats correct f The memorial opens with the customary statement of tbe incon venieitces to which the people of West Marion hnve been subjected for the last hundred years, and clo ses with the usual modest proposi tiou that their grievances be re dressed at the cost of mutilating one of the best Counties in 'he State, and inflicting a far worse in jury upon it than is now suffered by tbe people whom it is sought to relieve. The document says that •*A majority of the people of West Marion woo'd regard it as a rebel to have West Marion added on to Darlington County, m tbe town ot Darlington is far more accessible and preferable as a capital to West Marion than Marion Court House.” Tbe memotisl might also have ad ded with truth that there are some iu West Marion who would prefer Darlii'glou to Florence as their Court House. Add to this num ber those of We.>t Marion who are opposed to a change of any kiud, and those who are totally iudtf fereut in regatd to the matter, and we would iu all probability find that the names of the West Marion people deeply uiUiested iu the Florence Court Uoa«e scheme were well nigh exhausted by the signa tures to the Legislative petition. Again, this reuiaikabie paper states that “Four members ot tbe Darlington Bar are resident iu Florence, and several others are ou tbe point or moving there.” Wbat petit ion t-ays: “it pass+d, Iteiug, however, lost in th** Senate. Petitions sign* d by altm st all the w nte men within the proposed limits were tiled and probably re main within tbo Legislative arch ives.” 'though the tact is not so stated, we tear that the intention is to create the impression that all of these “white men” who signed weie in favor of the “New County ;” if faclilisouly the beginning of it The matt* r of the additional ex peuae which will be eutaiied ny tbe formation of the New County is so simple a one that it requires no elucidation tu tbe average voter, as was shown by be result of the re cent Primaly. The cost ot sup porting tbtee separate county governments annually in about one third as much again as the co.-t of that was not the intention, what * u Pl K,r l'“ , E t wo - Much importance was the use of making'he asoer w attached to the estimated areas tiou at all f As a matter of f ct, I * , a th ,h « P™p©sed er, a very large prejninder- J u *' w Counties will contain, but ance of the white people in the i 08 i,ua!e8 Mr,s Purely super- lower part of tbe Couuty, outside does this assertion mean; that ■creral members of the Bar who at present reside at Darlington Court House are contemplating moving to Florence f If that is the mean- of Florence and its environments, were opposed most bitterly to tbe measure, snd still f el tbe same way about the matter. Great stress seems to be laid upon the f- ct tbst all the members of tbe Legislature elected from Manou Couuty are “New County meu.” This argument does tint amount to anything, for it has nev er Ireeri denied hy any one that a majority of the votets in Mar on Couuty realize the inconveniences to wi ich the people of Wrgt Mar ion are subjected, aud desire to afs ord tb*in roue substantial relief. Not so with Darlington Comity, howevei ; our people do not appre ciate the tact that Florence is suf fering from any anuecessary bur- dev, except, iterhaps, that ot not having a Coart House of its own ; and notwithstanding the assertion of the memorialists that they are subjec ed to each untold hardships in visiting a Court House situated ten miles from them on the rail road, (two trains a day running each way between tbe two points,) our peo; Ie were so blind to the real cr imaginary grievances of poor Flur euce, that they overwhelmingly defeated the scheine by their votes at the recent primary election. Mr. Kershaw, the candidate on the “New County’’ issne, “one of the very best meu in the County,) who by his fine address and manly per sonal qualities won for himself a host of friends in every section dar iug the eampsign, the s'rongest nominee whom the opposition could have pm up, received only 917 votes to Mr. Netties’ 1262. A great n any of these votes were gained hy tbe popularity of the man, and were cast by those actual y hostile to Mr. Kershaw’* pet schema. A less (Hipular mao running ou tbe same issue would have been left so far behind that he would nevi r have lieeu beard of again, aud had it not b« eu for the question on which he made the race Mr. Kershaw would have undonb edly come in near tbe head ot the ticket And yet, the memorialists have the pre sumption, in comparing therespec tiv* votes received by Mr. Nettles and Mr. Kershaw, to assert calmly, “That this would seem to show that the people chiefly interested favor '.he design, and that in the whole County the proportion tor aud against is as 12 to 9 or 4 to 3!” Now, we ask the gentlemen who signed tbe petition, is (his dednotion fair! Great stress ia laid upon ibe fact that 1 During and since the com paigu threats have been openly aud seriously made by prouiiu>*ut citi zens of Darlington th it Florence and her contiguous territory shall be thus kept |kerpetttally distrait chiae 1 if they dare nominate rep- reaeutatives expressing tbe seuti uit nts of t heir coUstit uen ; a.” Pass iug over the unfair attempt here made to array Legislative feeling against Darlington because of ita alleged jealousy of Florence, we would ask the simple ques'iou, “Have not the people ot the county a right to express by their b lints their disapproval ot a pnjeet e huh will work so greatly to th. ir detri ment f’ If they have not, what is the nse of the ballot after all f The elective franchise is simply for tbe par|M>se ot determining which of two parties or tactions is the stronger, and in this instance, sues cess was with those opposed to the “New County.” The old argument is used that there is no objection to both Dar lington aud Florence being couuty seats, because Charleston and Mount Pleasant each enjoy that distinction, the enthusiastic ad vocates of the “New County” meas ure thinking it practicable by sneh arguments to blind the Legislature to the difference between a cou- ficial, and the L-gislature will un doubtedly so legaid tht-m, refusing to run tbe new boundaries until the question as to whether all ot the counties will have the con stitutional territory has t een ju dicially det< rmined. We have not yet had access to the new map wbiihbas been prepared by the advocates o( the movement, but we understand that, while some changes have been made in the pro posed liue which is to split Dar lington County, more of our terri tory is asked lor than ever betuie, another reason why our people should fight this scheme to tbe bitter end before allowing it to be consummated. But why at tempt to refute fur ther tbe so called arguments of the memorialists f One of tbe strong est advocates of their document has announced that it is specious iu its arguments; snd we conf ss that onr surprise at the (rankness of this a ivocate is only equ died by our admiration tor his truthfulness One woid iu couolu>ion concern iug the feeling which is said to exist in Darlington to wards Florence, ami which thia nu niorial has songbt to magnify in so unfair a manner. The fact that theie is such a feeling is never heard of uu less one goes to Florence to hear it. Apait from the natural rivalry which always exists between two small, growing towns, situate 1 so near each other, we can as-ert iu all honor and sincerity that tbw ani mosity so coustaurly referred to is sumption, th- re has been a marked decrease in the utortMliiy trom thi dresd' d dues* •, and it l* |»o»»»ible to still further reduce the number of Consumptives.
