NN
contestants, whether successful or defeated, de.
serve to be heartily congratulated. Election-day
has its good and evil incidents Of these, we for
bear now to speak We may all, forgetting tn

way" as becomes a free and enlightened people.
The Post-ofice address of our Senator, and OF

We subioin q statement of the result in other
Districts, except that in Chester, which was cor.
rectly reported in the last issue and we take
occasion, by the way, to perpetrate a personal
in regard to several of our very good friends to
whose success we looked with special interest.
The next Legislature will be equal, if otsuperi-
or, to any body which has been in session within
our experience, and in designating some of the
members, we mean to make no invidious dis
t%iuctions. We may remark that Mr.. Lowry, the
Chairman of our Delegation, received the larg.
est number of votes ever cast for a Representa-.
tive in this District; q vote no less compliment
airy than deserved.
CHARLESTON: Mr.. W. D. Porter, the President
of the Senate, has been re elected without oppo'
sition. Mr.. Henry Buist, elected Chairman OF
the Delegation by a very aattering vote, is the
Grand Master of the Masonic Order in this
State, and is much esteemed by the fraternity.
We are especially pleased to note down the
commanding position he has taken in Charleston
though quite a "young man." he is decidedly
able, prompt and efficient in the discharge of the
representatives duty, and will adorn his high
office in every one of its many requirements
We are glad to notice that Gen. James Simons.
the accomplished Speaker Of the House, has
been returned by a complimentary vote. Charles
ton will honor herself by preferring the dis.
tinguished Speaker as long as he may consent to
serve the State. In the Delegation, the Mercury

News, by Col. John Cunningham; and the Cou-

ANDERSON: Representatives, c.. s. Mattison,
W. A. Hayne, John v. Moore. B. F. Whitner.
Mr.. Hayre is a son of Hon. Robert Y. Hayne, a
name very familiar to the heart of South Caro-
lima. Hitherto a quiet, unpretending planter,
be nevertheless has the olden time ''fre in his
eye," and Anderson District should be congratu.
lated upon his entrance into public life. 1t is
sufficient 10 say that Mr. Madison heads the list.
Mr.. Moore is peculiarly ours. We have had
with him, while in editorial harness, more than
one trough and tumble" and with variable for
tunes. He will consider US as giving to him, on
this occasion, n most cordial shake of the hand.
Mr.. Whitner is one of the sons of the Judge-a
worthy 'chip of the block"

DeEFIELD.-Repreentatves-Messr len
nings, Butler, Lamar, Mobley, Gary, Quatte-
baum. Col. NJ. C. Butler is a young and talent.
ed representative of the name which, since the
beginning, has done the State noble service
His ancestors, the Perrys on the sea and the
Buffers on the land, have alike done honor to our
flag, and as sure as it is true that ''like father
like son." we have in him a double assurance Of
valiant service in these ''troublous times. -
Upon the election of our friend, Col. NJ. W.
Gary, we must express especial Qualification
At the opening of the canvass, he took prompt
and decided ground against the Blue Ridge
Railroad, and with the entire weight of the Dele
cation, we believe, and a majority of the Dis
trict against him, he fought through the canvass
and won the day, bravely. Under the circum.
stances, his election must be regarded rs a recog.
milton of his position and a compliment to his
decided ability, full of meaning.
MISUNDERSTANDING. G. Palmer-Repre-
sentatives--R. B.. Boylston, T. W. Woodward, J.
B. McCants. All right! We were somewhat
surprised, during the canvass, by reports from
Fairfield. 1t is q singular commentary upon
human nature that such men as Boylston and
McCants should have violent opposition; for in
these times, it is clearly the duty of every man
to lay aside personal prejudice, aud vote for
men who have singularly approved their fitness
for public position. Other a~spirants may be
equally worthy but this much we know Mr..
Boylston is a leader in the House and a man of
national reputation, while we would as soon en-
trustthe State with Mr.. McCants as with any man
now in public life. Instead of such men seeking
position, the people should demand their services
imperatively. These remarks are not imperti-
nent ; for we claim to have as much interest in
the delegation from Fairfield Tor from Horny,
for that matter) as in that of our own District.
As to Mr.. Woodward lin the ear, We knew him
in aye olden time as simply ''Tom") one might
as we'll try to "dam up the Nile with bulrushes"
as to beat any such a ''prince of good fellows"
He has a mortgage on all such 'tricks."
