never have anything to do with politics
again. Cape has done no work since last

Yenson has the best field of wheat in this
section. By the way, John is q worker. He
has cleared and put in cultivation nearly
one hundred acres of land in the last four
years, by the assistance of his boys and
hired hand or two. He commenced in the

THE STATUrQU0 MAINTAINED IN
COLUMBIA.
Proposition for. a New Elee.
tion in South Carolina and
Louisiana.
Republicans win New Hampshire,

COLUMBIA, March IA, 1877.
There has been nothing of special in
terest transpiring about Columbia for
several days past. All parties seem to
be waiting upon the administration at
Washington to define its position.
The election yesterday in New Hamp-
shire as far as heard from resulted fayora-
bly, to the Republicans by majorities
varying only slightly from the election
last year.
A private soldier who killed another
soldier in New Orleans yesterday was
turned over by the military authorities to
NicholPs chief of police, which action
excites considerable comment.
Stone will be re-nominated for District
Attorney Of South Carolina. The fight
is between him and VIM. E. Earle, of
Greenville, and it is probable that Stone
will be confirmed.
A number of informal caucuses have
been held during the past day or two by
the Southern Republicans in Washing
ton. With only a few exceptions, they
have expressed determination to- do
everything in their power to prevent the
recognition of the Hampton or Nichols
governments, and should they fail in
their efforts, as is now believed most
probable, 1t is announced that they will
change the political complexion of the
United Ststes Senate by voting against
the admission, of Kellogg from Louisiana
and Corbin from South Carolina. Such
is their declaration at present, which
may be accepted with some grains of al
lowance.
The latest reports from Washington,
which were received at noon to-day, state
that Senator Patterson Honest John)
called upon the President this morning,
and urged the adoption of plan for q
settlement of existing troubles in South
Carolina which involves a new election.
Patterson submitted this plan as the best
solution of pending difficulties. Blaine
likewise approves of this plan, which it
is alleged originated with Chamberlain.
The President was subsequently called
upon by Ex-senator Robertson and Ex-
Congressman Wallace, of South Carolina,
both of whom represented that a new
election would be ruinous to the indus
trial interests of the State, and suggested
that the difficulties could best be solved
by withdrawal of troops from the State
House, when the people would adjust the
matter for themselves.
President Hayes received the latter
gentlemen quite favorably as natives of
South Carolina, but did not commit him
self one way or the other.
The Republicans will assuredly at
tempt to secure a new election in both
Louisiana and South Carolina, and it is
painfully evident that speedy settle
ment of affairs in these two States can
hardly be expected, if dependent upon
the action of the Federal administration.

OBITUARY..

EZEKIEL S. NORRIS departed this life
at his residence on Mountain Creek on the
2sth February, 1877, at the age of SO years
and nine days.
He spent his long life in rural pursuits,
and 'ike q sheaf Of corn fully ripe he has
been gathered into the garner Of the Lore" I"
His last sickness was short, but he leaves
ample evidence that he was ready to depart
and be with the Lord. Early in life he pro-
fessed Christ as the only hope of salvation,
and exemplifed the sincerity of that profess
sion by consistent christian walk through
life. Hewas social, yet modest and retiring,
respectful, but firm in matured convictions.
Industry, truth, justice, charity, gentleness,
kindness and benevolence were illustrated in
his daily action and conversation. Heleaves
three children and disconsolate widow,
with many warm friends to mourn his loss.
Four children have preceded him to the
grave to welcome his advent at the gate of
Heaven. For many years he was an accep-
table Ruling Elder in the Roberts Presbyte-
rian Church, where he delighted to worship
"He sleeps in Jesus and is blest."

= The Columbia correspondent of the
New York Herald sums up the unequiv.
ocal and unanimous conclusions of the
average South Carolinian as follows:
'That they will submit to no other civil
State government but that of Hampton
is the head; that under no circumstances
will the Chamberlain government be tol-
Grated here that it is utterly useless to
attempt to settle the difficulties in this
State by means of a compromise commits
sion, as proposed, as on their part there
is nothing to compromise; that they have
resolved to pay no taxes to any other
government than Hampton's; and that
if that government is not recognized a
standing and powerful army will have to
be kept here to endeayor to keep the
peace alone"

porter for THf suS one LAY last week in rcla-
tion 20 the cxrise mudde. and the conversation.
although at the time not then deemed impor-
tant. has become interesting. Murphy ndvo-
Gated a law that would grade licenses from $40
to $1J year and that would give the Commits
sioners tho legal power to prosecute dealers
who sold without license. He argued that the
Commissioners OF Excise were doing their
duty as best they could under tho circum-
stances and that they were subjected TO unmer-
tied condemnation hy both prohibitionsts and
liquor dealcrs-nll ot which he viewed IA the
fault Of the conflicting laws. He was in favor.
he said OF making the liquor business respect
ahle by licensing only such dealers as kept
reputable barrooms; and he nstanccd MS an
example Of what he characterized as prejudice,
the fact that clergyman had said 10 him. |
would "a soon license "a murderer rs a rumsel-
ler." As 20 the giving of receipts to persons
who applied for licenses. he said TINT there
could he no sound objection to the practice.
IT facilitates business, YOU see. Murphy
continued; and | wish TUE SrN would say
SO. A dealer who has a receipt for the amount
of license that he wishes To- got does not pos
scss. as he may think. g document that protects
him in continuing his business: hut he has his
Application properly recorded. 80 thnt when the
