The Legislature.

Editors Journal:
The time is at had when selections should begin
to be made of candidates to represent New Han
over in the next session of the Legislature. Mr..
S. I. Faison, of Black River, publicly declines, it
seems, from allowing his name to be run. DIR.
John T. Hayes, Of that section, has served two
terms, and according 20 "a established custom in
this county, can now gracefully retire without
any liability to an imputation of having been
thrown overheard. Col e. D. Hall has served us
ably and acceptably, and can again easily be elect
ed il he viii consent to run for the Senate. He
has deep hold upQp the the confidenee and regards
of the people, and his patriotic services in the
army ought not to be and will not be forgotten.
Major Robert Strange, of Wilmington, would
make an able and faithful representative, and is

| We have frequently alluded to the fine condi-
ton of our lines of railroads. We believe that no
better equipped Or more reliable roads are to be
found in the United States differed by more en-
crgetc and efficient officials than those passing
through our city. We are glad that we are not
alone in this opinion. In recent editorial letter
which appeared in the Augusta Chronicle and Sen
Huel signed W., which take for granted is from
the pen of the gallant General A. r. Wright, one
of the editors of that paper, and one of the most
distinguished officers Georgiashad in the Army
of Northern Virginia, we take the following ex-
tract
The elegant sleeping cars which are now from At
Iana to Wilmington are new in railroad travel
ing in the South. Passengers furnished with fine
stae-rooms supplied with clean beds and inen, large
mirrors and nice marble was-stands, towels &C. which
enables to keep clean and comfortable despite the
really g cradles to sleep, and insures a Slorou
nights reposc There really little fatigue experienced
now in trip Of several days. No shouh think of
coming North without securing through ticket these
splendid "seeping cars They are so constructed that
The Wilmington and Manchester road is in very good
condition and makes good time-rarely missing connec
The Wilmington and Weldon road is in most excellent
condition Here they have splendid passenger cars,
and everything is as ard neat new pin They
make better time on this road than any have passed
and the Conductors here the s. c. Road are old
fashioned, attentive and accommodating gentlemen.
The compliment to these two roads is the great
cr when it is known that with the exception of
the South Carolina Railroad from Augusta to
Branchville, they are the only companies with
which the writer is pleased.
General Wright finds fault with the eating
houses on the Wilmington and Manchester Road,
and we trust the President and Superintendent
will give the matter their earliest attention. Tru
ly nothing is refreshing to the tired and hun
CRY traveller as good meal, and when we take
the price into consideration, eating house propri
etors should !>e required to provide bountiful and
wholesome fare for the passengers. These things
may be overlooked in the very great demand upon
the time of our railroad officials in their efforts to
re-organize and reconstruct their roads, but COM
fort should lie added to safety and speed to make
a line popular.

but through strenuous exertons it saved. The large

any progress made. About an hour after the fire
originated the mastery obtained, without further
damage being caused than the destruction of the two
buildings alluded to-

whether not there any insurance. The carpenter
shop destroyed was almost worthless.

still stronger proof Of the presence of ncendiaries
We cannot commend too highly the GOODNESS and udg-
