After Saturday next the fed eral govern nent will be com pletely frimer the control of the Democratic party for the first time ih over thirty years. In ordel^ to fully appreciate the lenffth of time that our party hift been out of power one has qhly to reflect upon the many great events that have transpir ed since. A nation has come into and gone out of existence since then, a nation that was born with the firing upon Fort Sumter and, after a fitful but glorious career, died upon the field of Appomattox Slavery has been abolished and the terrible years of Reconstruc tion, the blighting hand of the vandal and alien, have over b» was built hi.ve been grossly cial straits and is said that' neglected.

Mnmtlj lUftSl L management. In this shape the j case went to »he State Courts where a decision was rendered favorable to the State authori-1 ties. The Central then carried the case to the Federal Court and Judge Simonton now has it under advisement. The people trust that the State has the right side from a legal standpoint, for it certain ly is right from a moral point of view. The road and its nat ural outlet, Port Royal, have been grossly abused by the Cen tral system. STATE NEWS. and GENERAL NEWS. Items o Interest From World. All Over The Gathered From Our Exchanges, Put In Paragraphs. A negro, named Abel Barn well, was killed on the Port Royal and Augusta railroad last week. The State convention of the Young Men’s Christian Associa tion was held in Columbia last week. Commodore Council killed Edward Singleton at Hagood’s, Sumter county, on I riday. Both parties were colored. L. B. Switzer, of Lanw'*' Cleveland has appointed ! who re"'-.' k ‘‘‘ cU *' s . , lt r f ,• T. Thurb-r, „f muVeJ q ^..uy "South, ^ vilO land we love,” has been restored to her loyal sons and those who dwell in the fertile pit ins between the Potomac and the Rio Grande can now count upon the rest and peace due to their sense of security in hav ing a friendly government at Washington. Since the Demo cratic party has had complete control, we have had eight Pres idents, two of whom died at the assassin’s hands. The number of states have been increased fromthirty-threetoforty-fourand the population of the nation, which was then thirty-one mil lions, is now sixty-five mil. lions. These are but a few of the many important events and changes that have occurred dur ing that period, but do they not suffice to make us fully realize how long it has been since our party has been in control ? The leaders of Democracy in its old days of supremacy have long since been gathered unto their fathers ; we now have new lea ders, but we honor the memory of the pioneers of the party and treasure their principles and traditions as sacred keepings. When last Democracy reign ed supreme the majority of the electors of the present day could not vote ; many were not yet born, numbers had not reach ed the voting age, while others were still in the bonds of slave ry. This is another generation. New ideas have been formed and new question of govern ment have arisen. The present is full of new-fangled notions and theories of doubtful expe diency, so we welcome the le- turn to power of the Democra tic party—the party of the pres ent that clings to the best tradi tions of the past. The grand old Democracy is good enough— it is the faith of our fathers; it served them and will justas well serve us. Standing since the beginning of the century as the bulwark of freedom, it will con tinue to be the power by which the people will rule. W^th Democracy in the ascendency, plutocracy is impossible. ry , his private st J ^TTank Holland was hanged at Brazaria, Te::as, on Thursday, for the murder of three men.
