POETRY.
One Day out of Seven

One Day out OF Seven.
Birds cannot always sing;
Silence at times they ask. to spent feeling;
To see some new, bright thing,
Ere fresh burst of song fresh JOY revealing.
Flowers cannot always blow;
Some Sabbath-rest they need Of silent winter,
Ere from its sheath below
Shoots up small green blade brown earth to splinter
Tongues cannot always speak;
God! in this loud world of noise and clatter
Save us this once.a week,
To let the sown seed grow, not always scatter.

GOING TO THE SUPREME COURT.
Address Of Gen. Hampton.

TO THE PEOPLE OF South CARO-
The Board Of Canvassers
have, by their unprecedented action
shown, not only their contempt
and defence of the Supreme Court of
the State, but their utter disregard of
their own integrity. While the
grave questions determining the re-
of the recent election were pend
ing before the Supreme Court, COM
posed Of three Judges belonging to the
Republican party, and in direct viola
ton of the Orders of this tribunal, the
Board have issued certificates Of cleo
ton to the Republican Presidential
Electors, and to Republican State Off
GERS and have refused to give certif-
Gates to Democratic Members of the
Legislature, shown by the returns of
same Board to have been elected in
the Counties of Edgefield and Lau-
rens. This high-handed outrage is
well calculated to arouse the indigna-
ton of our long-suftering people, but
I assure you that this daring and revo-
lutionury act Of the Board can have
no legal force whatever. appeal to
YOU therefore, in the fullest confidence
that the appeal will not he unl,eeded,
that you will maintain even under these
provocations, your character as an Or
derby and law-abiding people. Dur
ing the past exciting political canvass,
sou have studiously avoided even the
semblance of a purpose to disturb the
public peace, or to transgress the law.
Your cause-and it is the cause OF
Constitutional Government-has been
carried to the highest Court of the
State, and we are willing to abide by
its decision, feeling assured that this
tribunal will see that the laws shall
be enforced and justice secured.

money to demonstrate that my method
was the true plan to rectify the evils
under which the Southern States were
grooming. Hitherto Virginia has
chiefly benefited by the efforts which
made from 1863 to 1872 in Great Brit
ain aud at the South TO promote the
objects which alone can speedily re-
store prosperity to the Southern States.
Had my,efforts been cordially seconded
there might now have been in tire

NEW YORK, November 24, 1876.
To General Wade Hampton:
The following letter was mailed to
you to-day:
Rooms NATIONAL Dem. COMMITTEE,
NEW YORK, Nov. "a, 1875.
Gen. Wade Hampton, Columbia, 5. c.:
My DEAR SIR-Your admirable adj
dress to the people of South Carolina is
the subject Of universal commehda-
ton here. In fact, the prudence, the
forbearance and s~elf-c0ntrol Of your
people, under the most exasperating
p~rovocalions, is beyond all praise. ]
can only think that in the exciting
situation in which you will find your
self next week to outbreak will occur.
1t is almost too much to expect that
there will be no indiscrect man in
South Carolina who may provoke the
collision, but nevertheless the provi-
dence Of God has so far guided you
and your people in all your difficulties
that your friends rest in calm conf
dence upon the wisdom and good for
tune which have so far attended your
actions. You may rest assured that
your Northern brethren have conse-
Grated themselves to the work of your
deliverance, and will never cease their
efforts until you are restored to that
''freedom wherewith you were made
free" by the labors and sacrifices and
wisdom of our forefathers and your
forerathers.
God give you and your people all
the wisdom and all the patience need
ell in this hour of trial and in this
crisis of the destiny of our common
country. We lave full faith in the
justice Of the people of the United
States, and we do not entertain a
doubt Of the final verdict which they
will pass upon the occurrences of the
last two weeks. This verdict will
surely vindicate their honesty and re-
establish free Government upon a
lasting basis.
l have the honor to be, very respect
fully, yonr obedient servant,
ADRIAN S. HEWITT.

Committee.

AUGUSTA AND GREENWOOD
RAILROAD.

Letter from Mr.. p. III. BradIcy-Ad-
vautages Of the Route.
Tie following letter explains itself:
Mill WAY, November p.
Hon. j. N. Clark:
DEAR SIR-Yours Of the 10th is re-
ceived. 1 will try t. be in Auguata
on the 9th. I see, however, from the
city papers, that the Hartwell Road is
the only one spoken of, and I suppose
there will be O strong effort made to
carry it all on the Georgia side of the
Savannah. I still think, SO far as Au-
gusta is concerned, that the o TO
Greenwood will bring more trade than
any road that can oe built, for any
thing like the same amount OF money.
So far as Western connections are con-
cerned, l think the route Oh this side
decidedly the most practicable to con-
nect with the Blue Ridge at Anderson
or Walhalla. The route on this side is
certainly as short, with fewer obstruc-
tons, less bridging, etc, and from
Greenwood to Spartanburg is just fifty
miles, when another connection could
lie made with u road already OIL the
way over the mountains. / do not see
how Augusta can hope to get the trade
from this side of the river by building
q road on the Georgia side, but if the
road was built TO Greenwood you
would have in Augusta all the trade
between the road and the Georgia line,
and n good deal Of the trade on the
outside of the line would come to it.
Ii both roads can be- built it would no
donbt he better. but were | q citizen of
Augusta and was looking after her
prosperity, and could build but one
road, I would certainly build the III
to Greenwood first. I am told that
last year and this, over n hundred
thousand bales cotton will 60 down the
G. e. &. r. K. from above Greenwood
and any amount of general and other
freight going up the road. Abbeville
county is q fine wheat and Oal country,
and if we had transportation we could
make aud ship thousands of bushels
to your city with very little labor and
expense. We can make twenty BUSH
els per acre, and now since cotton has
fallen so low it would be q better bust
ness than raising cotton at present
prices, but your people down there
ought to know better than I do what
is the best for you to do. But I a
only say, if you want our trade you
will have to help US TO get 1t to you.
Hoping you will do 80, | remain
yours truly. p. Fl. BRADLEY

For UNITED STATES SENATOR
One of the duties devolving upon the
next Legislature, will be the election
of u Senator to succeed T. J. Robert
son., in the Senate of the United
States. There are many worthy names
to be presented, any II of whom it
would be an honor to the State to be-
represented by, and, while we dispa-
rage none, we would present the name
of Gen. Samuel MCGOWAN, Of Able
willie, as a eminently capable for this
honorable position. Gen. MCGOWAN
is one of the noble snns of the UP
country of South Carolina, and one
whom the whole State would delight
to honor. Brave, generous and chival-
ric, he would fifty represent his State
and country in the National Assembly
and would always be found ut his post,
roaly to defend her in all that is just
and right. Let him be sent to the
Senate. IT is an honor he deserves,
and it should be conferred upon him.

We are satisfied that the election of
Gen. MCGOWAN to the Senate of the
United States would give great rats
faction to the people Of the State and
the country at large. 1t has been q
great while since this section had a
representatives in the United States

Another Error in the Electoral Count.

Another Error in the Electoral Count.
Giving to Hayes the votes of Louisi-
ana, which really voted for Tilden !
those of Florida, which did likewise {;
aud those Of South Carolina upon the
returns claimed by the Republicans,
and still ridden would be the legally
elected President. He is entitled to
one electoral vote from South Carolina
according to the showing OF the Re
pub;icans themselves.
The case is very simple. Tim Hur-
ley, Il low politician who is said TO be
the ONLY ma in whom Chamberlain
really contides, was Il of the Repub-
lean candidates for the office of Prcsi-
dental EIector, and ran some six hun
dred votes behind his ticket. This is
accounted for in various ways, but the
fact is not disputed. J. B. Irwin, who
received the highest number of votes
on the Democratic electoral ticket, is
only 23l votes behind Hurley. This is
admitted by all parties.
But it seems that some of, the intel
ligent colored politicians. who were
intrusted with the duty Of supplying
their followers with printed ballots,
did not deem it necessary to bother
themselves about such q triting for
mality as the choice of an electoral
college, and so they neglected to put
the names OF any electoral candidates
on their tickets. Probably they did
not know tue names of the party NOM
inees, and with the characteristic in
dolence Of their race, neglected to in
form themselves. At any rate, in the
lower counties there were 500 ballots
cast for Hayes and Wheeler simply,
without bearing any other names
whatever. Now, all Of these votes cast
for Hayes and Wheeler, in making up
the official majority for those candl-
dates, were counted as votes for Win
smith, Johnson, Myers, Nash, Bowen,
Cook, and Hurley, the Hayes ca,,di.
dates for electors, though the canvass
ers had no more legal right to do so,
than if those ballots had borne the
names of Smith aud Brown. Under q
fair and legal count, those 500 votes
cast for Hayes aud Wheeler would he
thrown out as illegal and void, which
would elect Irwin, the Tilden elector,
by a majority of nearly 800 votes, and
his vote would elect Tilden.
A characteristic Instance Of the dis
regard for even the appearance of fair.
ness which prevails among the sup.
porters of Hayes in South Carolina, is
found in q remark attributed to Haylle,
the colored Secretary of State. This
was that he would commission all OF
the Hayes and Wheeler electors, even
if the Supreme Court should decide
that Irwin is elected. The thing has
been done.-NeW York Sun.
