THINGS IN THE STATE.

Capt. VIM. Haynie. one Of the Oldest and
most efficient and popular Of the conductors OF
the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad, died
at Cartersville on Monday.
On Thursday night, dwelling house, be:
longing to Mr.. Isaac Bierfeld, in the town OF
Helena, Newberry distric', was discovered to
be on fire, and in ehort time thereafter was
entirely consumed.
Chester has been blessed with several fine
showers, but hot sun and three or four dry
days has again rendered the esrth quite thirs-
ty. The Standard regrets to learn that some
portions of the county are much in need OF
the fructifying element, not having had drop
in five weeks.
-Wofford College commencement took siaoe
on Tuesday. Professor DuPre delivered the
annual address on Wednesday. Addresses were
deliveredsby Ellis B. Cannon, Barham W. Fos-
ter, VIM. Kirkland and R. o. Smart, upon
whom degrees were conferred. The valedic-
tory was spoken by Dr. Smart, of Beaufort.
After lapse Of nine weeks of dry and
scorching weather, says the Newberry Herald,
heavy rain has fallen. The baked condition
Of the ground however, allowed but slight re-
the shower fell, and another is an1iously look
ed for. The corn and cotton in some portions
OF the district are suffering, while in others
they do well. a general rain, and good seasons
from this time, though much corn is dwarfed
and retarded, would insure to this district
good yield. Gardens in and around town are
almost past hope.
The Columbia Phoenix says: Alderman
Greenfield, as we are reliably informed, prepar-
ed respectful memorial to the Legislature,
requesting an order for an election for munich
pie officers at an early day. This memorial
was signed by all the white members except
Alderman Remsen; and by none of the colored
members except Alderman Taylor. What rea-
son the objecting members assign we cannot
conceive, as it was generally understood that
the present officials were to be but temporari-
" in authority. The attention of the Legisla-
ture is called TO the matter.

TIE NEW MARYLAND SENAToR.-Governor
Swami, Of Maryland, has appointed William
Pinckney Whyte United State senator for the
une1pired term OF Hon. Reyerdy Johnson, re-
Gently appointed Minister to England. The
term expires on the 4th Of March next.
Mr.. Whyte is native Of Baltimore. and gra-
duated, we believe, at Princeton, land is a
leading member Of the Maryland bar. He is in
the prime Of life-between forty.fve and tfty.,
and is considered, at least b. those politically
opposed to him, as one of the Lost able men in
the Democratic party of his native State.
Senator Whyte has always been an active poll
itician of the extreme Democratic school, has
several times represented Baltimore in the
State Legiature and for several years was Comp
troller Of the State Treasury, in which position
his friends claim that he exhibited conaidera-
BILE financial ability. He was defeated for the
House Of Representatives by Hon. j. Morrison
Harris during the days OF the American party
and during the rebellion he took but little ac-
tiye,part in political affairs. Last winter he
was q candidate for United States senator, but
Withdrew after the first ballot, and was mem
ber OF the late constitutional convention.

Mackey, the brother Of A. 6. Mackey, the de-
feated candidate, started this afternoon for
Washington to enter protest against Senator
Sawyer being allowed to take his seat. The
protest is based upon q charge that Sawyer
was engaged in blockade running during the

resigned his position as private Secretary to
Governor Scott.
There has been greatrejoicing to-day amongst
all classes Of persons who desired the defeat
Of the Mackey party. Along the railroad, where
the news had been received by telegraph, there
was loud cheering.
Mackey declares that the election Of Sawyer
is the frat Democratic victory in South Carroll
ma, and will give the State to Seymour and
Blair. The feeling among his friends is very
bitter.
1t is confidently asserted by gentleman
from Washington, an agent of The Treasury
Department, who has been investigating the
affairs Of the Charleston Customhouse, that
Mackey will be turned out Of Office in lees than
sixty days, and that the institution itself will
be thoroughly swept out and purged.

WEDNESDAY, July 15.-Mr. Whittemore, from
the committee appointed to inform the House
of Representatives that the Senate would meet
them to-day to proceed, in joint nesting, to the
election of senators Of the United States, re-
ported that the committee had discharged the
duty assigned to it.
After pause Of some minutes, J. J. Wright
said that an individual who might have been
an officer Of the House, had short time pre-
yiously informed him that the Speaker Of the
House was ready to receive the Senate, and re-
auested him to inform the Senate OF that fact.
Mr.. Hoyt moved that the statement OF the
senator be received as information, and that
the Senate proceed to the execution Of the joint
order.
B. F. Randolph opposed the motion, as there
was nothing regularly before the Senate on the
subject. He hoped that the Senate wcn]d IN.

POLITICAL.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald dutfuly plays follow my leader,
and throws as much cold water as he can carry
upon the Democratic nominations. He writes
on the 11th as follows:
1t is rarely that 30 great q disappointment is
experienced in the political affairs Of the coun-
| try as that which has overtaken the Conserva-
tive portion of the people in regard to the De
mocratic nomination for President, and it is
seldom that national disappointment has
been so generally and 30 pointedly expressed.
So far as the Conservative and Democratic
citizens of Washington are concerned, the
selection of the Democratic Convention for
President has called folth almost universal
condemnation. Predictions of signal defeat to
the party. quite as inglorious as that sustained
by Mcclellan, are made on every hand, not
only by the Radicals, but by the moderate
Democrats and Republicans.
Although grieved and disappointed at the
unfortunate result, it is said the President will
give his support to the choice OF the Conven-
ton. The members of the Cabinet, it is also
said, agree with the President in hiR views Of
the nominations. In fact, nobody approves of
them except those who were engaged in the
rebellion and their sympathizers.
Many Of those who have hitherto announced
themselves as being opposed to Grant as a
Republican champion now turn to that silent
soldier with all his Radical VOWS thick upon
him as the more acceptable OF the two candi-
dates, and hope that when he is elected he
will be found true to his lifelong Conservative
principles, and that he will interpose his hand
TO avert the most dangerous Of the Radical
thruets at the vitals Of the constitution.
ADJOURNMENT.
The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Times, under date of the 18Th, says:
The necessity of speedy adjournment OF
Con gress for political reasons is more and
NOR e imperative every day. The longer Con-
gress remains now, the more danger Of blund-
ers which the Republican party will have to
shoulder in the campaign. To-day was fair
sample OF what may be expected any day
henceforth, but particularly on Mondays. AS
stated last night, Mr.. Butler was.bent on get
ting up the subject Of taxing bonds again, and
he finally persuaded Ashley, of Nevada, to be
his catspaw, and introduced bill to that ef-
feet when his State should be called. When
the bill came in, Butler was on the alert, and
Immediately moved to put it on it's passage.
But he was Immediately hoisted by his own
petard. He had fixed up thing, but it's re-
ception was also fixed up. The Speaker caused
the rule to be read, which provides that no
bill which is in it's nature tax or a charge
upon the people can be considered the same
day it is introduced. "I move to suspend the
rules" quoth the adroit Butler. "That can
not be done during the morning hour quoth
the Speaker. Whereupon Butler subsidized, in
evident disgust.
