lUe Sfate has commented on his
candidacy, and most of them give
him the highest commendation.
Even his political opponents adm|t
that he is a strong man, a hard
fighter and a good man to look af- j
ter his constituents' interests in
C9n gress. Charleston is almost
solidly for him and he has many
friends throughout the distiict.
That ae will "win out'' in his race

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE.

A Weil-known Editor Pays a Warm 1
Tribute to Mr. Joseph W. Barnweil. j
(From (he Xeusberry Herald and Neics.) J
We heard while in the city, and
then we have observed in the
newspapers, thai Charleston is to!
, 7
have a candidate ior Congress from !
iter district. We have wondered
manv times why Charleston was !
to generous as to let Beaufort j
have the Congressman ior so long I
> I
when she had the votes and a!
large proportion of the interest, j
We have no doubt Col. Elliott has j
made a good Congressman, but he i
could not have the interest in:
Oharlestan that one of her own;
would have. It is stated that j
State Senator Jos. W. Barnwell :s j
to enter the race, and if he does1
we have no doubt lie will be elect-;
ed. He is a very uselul member:
of the Stale Senate and is a Jaw- j
ver of ability. If elected to Con- j
sress be will make a valuable!
member of that body, lor he isj
able, faith!ul to every trust, and;
conscientious and fearless in the I
discharge of duty and the advoca- j
C3* of what he believes to be right. '
We hope lie will be elected.

South Carolina seaboard, t he
Stale's largest city and all her
ports, is the most important dis
irict of the seven. It is of the;
utmost consequence, not only to

of the State, that it be represented
by an.able and praoticnl man

Mr. Joseph W. Barnwell,, the j 0^<
