An Awkward Position. The Legislature last week elected Judge Welver Chief Justice. On Monday after the election was over, and the to utter was supposed to be settled, the Chief Justice elect sends a letter to the General Assembly declining to accept the ollice. He says that he finds that grave doubts exist as to the power of the Legislature to fill this vacancy, and he is "not will ing, lor the sake of mere personal advancement to take any step by which lha slightest doubt may be thrown upon the legality of the com position of the Supreme Court, or that the interest ol the State, should be, iu the slightest degree, imperilled by a failure to complete the organi zation of that tribunal promptly in such manner as is thought to be best calculated to secure the welfare ol the State." We do not think that Judge Me Iver is to be censured for coining to this conclusion. We regret that be did not reach it before he stille red the Legislature to elect him, bid we have all the time thought, as we c xpressi d in an editorial some weeks ago. that it was best, in view of the dubious legality of such action, for the Legis lature to make no election, but to leave Juatico Willard undisturbed until the term for which he claims expires. The New Departures. The letter of Col. Klison Keilt of Neu berry in favor of the South tak ing up Grant for the Presidency ex presses views shared, we are satisfied, by very few outside of the author. The folly of au oh u departure; merely to appease Northern seutiment, finds a Irish and living illustration in tho Horace Greeley farce of '7-, which has given the Democracy a back-et from which it has not even /et fully recovered. And its criminality con sists in the abandonment of the funda mental principles uf the parly. Democracy means the supremacy of tho Constitution and of tho civil over the military authority, and Grant ism meain exactly the reverse. To ac cept Grant therefore is simply to give up the battle, and join the He publican party. We know that Col, Kcitt does not mean anything of this kind, because be is as true as any man in the State to the interests of Democracy, but we are sali-fled that the taking up of Grant w til.I be ihn and nothing *e! so. The second "departure" In which we would allude here is contained in the extract from Col. Aikoii's lottir which WC publish in this issue. There is a gi eat deal of food for reflection in this letter. We have all abnii said that the d biding n'f (be South ill President-making and national poli tics was injurious, and ten do I to the creation of a solid North against us. Jt has truly come to this, that the Northerner, as a general thing, votes with the Republican pirty, u t be cause of its peculiar duett incs, hui ll !? entire he conceives it to he working for the interest of tho Northern \> >r tion of the Union, and in the same way the Southerner votes with the Democracy, not because he i* wedded to its principles, hut because he he lieves it works lor the interest of bis section of the In inn. In nine cases out of ten the vi Iff docs not under* stand the principles id* Irs party. I is there fore plain, a- Col. Aiken say.-, that/he parties have become section al, r.nd no longer practically work out the principles tor which they were established. Col. Aikin's remedy i.-. for the far mem of the Union to cstabli ?h a party which shall know no North, no South, no East, no West, but thai! he based upon the interests of the great A ni ctiltural ci.iDimiuity, which consti tutes the hone and sinew of the coun try. Now, however practicable of dcfcirnblo Col. Ajkcn's schemo may 1h-, howovr probable its fulfilment \vu\ h? ill ih'g lr-rr intuit' the great Democratic p:irty is at ,.ros i t our i recognized mid established organi/.a. linn comprising all classes ot'tlio com niuuity, aud our efforts foritsud vanccment uud improvement, as well as ? ur nllegiancc t> it should he tin faltering. To correct its abuses and j remove the impedimenta to its pio i gross is our chief duly. What, is its j greatest weight? In our opinion the I sectional caste which circumstances, and which Northern politicians have sought to place upon it, and which Col. Aiken has so correctly pictured. Remove this, and it will control tli"? Urion, because it is founded upou the purest principles. To this end let our statesmen and our conventions labor Let us not waste our time dreaming upon what might be, or what ought to be, but like men, "act in the living present." We have always said, and firmly believe that the farmers ought to assert their rights moro boldly and effectively. They f cd all, and they should exert tho controlling power in the government But "that power can he exerted //"//? in the Dcmocra tic parly, aud there is no use to bo waiting for a political millennium. The Legislature. This hotly has a great many bills on the calendar which, if taken up, will prevent an adjournment before the holidays. Most of them, how ever, are ol local and of minor im portance, ami it i* to be hoped, in view of the fact that law making costs the people about S 11)00 a day, thnl ninny of iheni will be passed over for the sake of a shoit session and economy. There are, however, some important matters, that must be ar ranged in consequence of their public importance. The agitating question of tho pub lic debt has been practically settled by Mr. Ficken's bill appointing Mr James 0. Coil, Special .Slate Com inissioner to examine into the Sta.o debt, and eliminate all declared in valid by the Supremo Court. The Columbia canal bill which we mentioned in our last issue, has J passed the House and will go through J the Senate; and tho Charleston canal bill which provides for the cutting nf a (anal thiough Charleston Neck, j I uniiing tho Cooper aud Ashley rivers is now before the House. A general registration law will come up. One bill is proposed by Mr. Ficken of Charleston, and another by Mr. Dnrgan of Sumter. To the latter is attached a slight edu cntional qualification. There is. however, evident apathy on this subject, and it is dilficillt to say w hat w il I he done. A caucuaon Monday night decided to repeal the i wo box law which was passed for the purpose of having the voles lot Federal and State Officers in separate rooms and boxes. A lull tu establish a Bureau of Agriculture, similar to that in the State of Georgia a id other Slates, has passed its second reading It is to he supported by a liceusc tax of SJOOO on phosphate manufacturers. A bill for the establishment of an Agiiculturul College at Columbia on the grounds of the State University, similar to die uno already main tained at Orangeburg for the colored students, has'received tho saucii mi of the Committee on lid icalion, and will prohabh pass. It is a shame that $191,800 from the sale of land scrip, intended for educational purpose-, have been di verted and lost to the State by tho Radical Financial A gent Kimpton.' The bill to allow towns aud cities iho privilege of taxing themselves tbr .-(hod purposes is now before the General Assembly, and, we fear from present indications, will find sumo difficulty in passing. If it passes i here will he nothing to previ ut the establishment of a fust-class High School at every i'oiinty Seit. Missed his Aim. Taft, the Republican Senator from Chin lest on , has been l lying to create a sensation for politica capital on iho penitentiary convict questi n. Ho eiuhavored to make it appear that the Democrats were indifferent as to the ttealmeni of convie.s, but he was answer* d edeitually by Collins and ol her Republicans who were on ihc Pt-nilcntiury Committee, and who bore witness lo tue fact lb it they ohsi rvod no apathy i n the part of the Democrat*, but thai all was done that could be done for the protection ol' \\ict." individual*}, English Immigrants. Mr A. M. Hurstt^ Ilm advance Agent, dl lAuttfQffmfwY Kiig? !i lami liea, who arc desirous of emigrating to this country hus culled upon Sena tor Hampton, and is coining to South Carolina to examine our lauds with the view ol purchasing to form a set tlement We hope that he will meet with every encouragement when Im comes here, and that those who have lands to dispose of, will put them at reasonable figures. It' we do other wise we will drive these excellent immigrants to the wilds of the1 West. Would that wo could induce a settle ment of this kiud in (>raiigebnrg. No better set of immigrants can be found in the world. Whatsay our farmers ? 8alc's Farewell. We quota the following words from Ex-Mayor Sale's farewell ad dress, which we have not seen pub lished anywhere, except in the Char leston *' Democrat": 'T have firmed "no entangling | alliances" nor combinations with the Hatlical party in the campaign just ended, nor any other. Parti/.an ora tors, malicious, corrupt and venal publishers and ulitors in this city, have maligned me, and.?tut forth, through the press, a tissue of false hood-, .seldom equalled in any pre vious campaign. Again, thanking you gentlemen, for your atteudauue, 1 bid you adieu !" In his concluding remarks to the new Council he says : "May peace, unity uu ?W prosperity at'eml your administration to the end.
