Bile fact that in this canvass, moth
has been said, rothing can bo said,
agaidst Mayor Billiards official con-

charged that he is too much Of a
Democrat but no one charges him
with official misconduct, with neg

difference to his duties; with igno.
rance Of the law Of bis office, with
evasion OF responsibility, with per-
mIttldg irregularities in SubOrdi-
mates which was his business to

his eyes to corruption and fraud.
His enemies conccde all that his
friends claim for HIM. They admit
that he isa first rate Mayor that he
is a faithful guardian OF the city's
interest, that he is attentive to his
duties and an honor to his position.
Taking the estimate OF his oppo-

Wade Hampton, Governor of South

is the subject Of an exquisite ~life.size en-
craving, just published land now ready
by our enterprising friend, Walker,
Evans " CoSSwcll, Charleston, S. G. We
congratulate these gentlemen on the
grand success they have made of So noble
a subject, As a work of art it stands un.
rivalIed, but still its chief merit laws in
its being n litc-iikr portrait. 1t is the first
product, on SO large II scale, of n new md
secret process based ON photography, hay
ing the advantage of great truthiulness.
as the photograph has superseded the oil
painting, because Of its exact reproduce
ton OF the subject, 80 this process is
bound to take the place of steel engrav-
ing, or any method which depends upon
artistic conception and execution for re-
sultS-we mean for the production o. por-
traits. What the people want in a por-
trait IS truth they do not wish the ar
lists conception OF q man, but the face
and features of the man as he is-aDd by
no means can this grand result be better
attained than by the means Of photcgra-
ply, and this new process based thereon.
But while these great advantages are Sc
cured, it admits Of the embellishments of
art, and u portrait is prodused possessing
all the truthiulneSs of a photograph, with
the artistic effect of the steel engraving.
The publishers have been extremely for
tunate in their selection of the mode BY
which they give to all admirers of the
great statesman the noble, generous,
maulJ features, which speak SO plainly
the great mind, elevated feeling, and gen
erous heart Of Wade Hampton.
Those who sympathized with this gallant
little State in the struggle against such
tremendous odds, will be pleased to have
this portrait in their homes-a glorious
memento OF a peaceful, noble a effort of
lborty-loving people to redeem themselves
from oppression and misrule.
1t will DO sold by subscription only, at
81 per copy.
Agents wanted to CANVASS every city and
town in the land.
To those who cannot be reached by
agents, the publishers will supply copies
per mail, m the receipt Of the price,
We trust that this thoroughly Southern
enterprise will receive the encouragement
it deserves.

Hayes Movements.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, Feb. 26.-Gov.
Hayes, while en- route from Fremont
to Columbus, passed an hour here.
He was escorted to the hotel, and on
being introduced to the people he
made brief speech. He expressed
congratulations that in weeks time
this business which has occupied the
attention of the country for eight
months would be over. He hoped
the people would acquiesce quietly
whoever might be the persons declared
elected. He believed the country de-
sired peace and security; thought this
idea should be the expression of the
people to their representatives at
Washington. Realizing his lack of
special fitness for the duties, to the
performance of which he might be
called, he placed his trust in Almighty
God, who rules the destinies of ma
tons. These remarks were received
with tremendous applause. The
crowd did not dispense until the de-
parture of the train.
COLUMBUS, Feb. 27.-Arrangements
have been made by the citizens, with
out regard to party, for brilliant
farewell reception to Gov. Hayes and
wife in the State House next We'd
nesday night.
The Herald's dispatches give sto-
ries of threatened assassination of
Hayes, but the Herald places no con-
fdence in them. The Heroid's edit
orial says: In view of what took
place in the House yesterday we no
longer have any doubt the filibusters
will be foiled in their revolutionary
plans. Hayes will be declared elect
ed two or three days before the close
of the session, and will be quietly in
augurated.
So Hayes is the man, you see.

of the minuter forms of natures work,
which beneath the ever changing tints
of summer skies, the glories of autumn
sunsets, and the wierd like haziness
and ambient air of the fall season, is far
more beautiful and enhancing and more
enduring in its worshipful influence up
on men, than the bald hills, the jagged
cliffs and the far away perspectives OF
the land of the herdsman over east Of
the mountains. He who seldom studies
nature will not without some prepare
ton, appreciate this fuller deeper book
of nature dedicated to the Lower Col
umbia; but he can take in at once the
meaning of her coarser printed volume,
whose salient features are generally un-
encountered with those delicate and
minute things so abundant in this green
er region.
In our admiration for the gigantic
and stupendous, let us not forget the
world of delicacy and beauty at our
feet and which continually surrounds
us. DO the grosser ideas preoccupy
the thoughts, because of the relation of
the sterner aspects of the earth TO the
material wants and necessities? Put
them away more often, eliminate the
gross and thus make room for the spir-
itual and time for those diviner moments,
when man proves himself to be not al
together of the earth earthly, but only
little lower than the angels. Nature is
here found like an open book, and if
man will approach her with clean hands
and in the spirit of humility, she will
reward him with such treasures from
her store as will greatly add to both
his earthly and eternal happiness.

Union Ridge lettings.

We were down on Columbia Island
recently and were Hospitality enter
tanned by our friend, c.. +. Tyszkie-
wicz. Mr.. 7. is making extensive
and expensive Improvements to his
residence. When completed it will
be among the most commodious in
the county. We hear it limited that
he is about to quit the turbulent and
stormy waters of single blessedness
and embark on the sea of matrimonial
bliss(ter). If such be the case we
must OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES s:there's
many slip 'twixt cup and lip and we
will save the pretty speeches until
applicable.
A Mr.. Long, who has been work
ing for Mr.. Tyszkiewicz, had the mis-
fortune to slice up his right foot Sc
verely, a few days since, by an i'll di-
rected blow of an axe. He is, we be-
lieve, on the road to recovery.
Mr. S. G.. Reed, of Portland, pur-
chased several hundred acres on the
Island last spring. Under the eff
cient management of Mr.. L. A.
Worthingdon, he is improving extern
sively. Mr.. RS highland farm of 100
acres was slashed, burned and seeded
last season, and now a substantial
fence is being erected around the
whole. These two land owners have
some finely bred stock that would be a
credit to any country.
Mr.. John Burrows has erected a
tasty and commodious dwelling house
this past winter, which is nearing
completion. s'The Island" will soon
be one of the best appointed, most
improved and attractive dairying sec
tons in the county.
Henry Shobert has been devoting
his spare energies and cash for some
time to the construction of substan-
tial and handsome house. OF course
we all think there must be a pros
pective bird to occupy this pretty
cage. You may naturally conclude
that this community is addicted TO
marrying and being given in mar
rage" Query:-Does the reality
confirm, or set at nought the pleas
ures Of anticipation? N. G.

The Independent.
FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1877.
Presidential.

We expected to be able this week to
announce the conclusion of the whole
presidential controversy, but the Dem
ocrats are tilbustering over the Yer
mont returns, and up to the time of 60
ing to press we are unadvised of the
final result. We have no doubt but
that Hayes and Wheeler will be inau-
gurated next Sunday or Monday. All
that is expected by the opposition is to
spread confusion in the ranks of the Re-
publicans and if possible make capital to
be used hereafter in the political arena.
Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin are
the only remaining States to be count
ed. The post-office disqualification
is the plea against the Vermont count.
Nobody disputes the fact that Yer
mont cast Republican majority.
Tilden says: "Well, we are beaten,
unjustly l think, but none the less
certain. At any rate, there is moth
ing for us but to submit. I am OPP
posed to this whole policy Of filibus-
tering."
