A Mnnprn lllnrinnuiua.

Those who have read Of the old Roman
who left his pillow, and ruled the nation,
returning again to his humble farm,
must be proud to think how many in
stances of the same kind our own history
furnishes. Washington was q Cincin-
natus, and here is an account of another.
At the session Of the South Carolina
legislature, in 1874, the members were
prrplcxed for u suitable man to elect
governor. The difficulty did not arise
from any scarcity Of candidates, for then,
Us now, men were ambitions, but from Il
want OF the right sort Of man. The mat
| ter became worse rs the time wore on ,
and the election Of some Objectionable
candidate seemed inevitable.
One day, however, as several of them
were conversing upon the matter, Judge
ONeall, then young man, and present
by invitation said, Gentleman, why
not elect General David Il. Williams ?"
David X. Williams. he's our man
he's the man !" they all exclaimed, ~
they began to scatter to tell the news.
The day of election came on, and Gene
raj Williams was elected by a large vote.
A messenger was at once dispatched
with a carefully prepared letter to inform
the general of his election requesting his
acceptance, and hoping he would name
the day on which he would take the oath
of office, After u long ride, the messen-
ger stopped at the generals residence, in
Marlboro district, we believe and in

Mr.. Williams was over at his plantation.
The gentleman said he would ride over,
as he had a note to deliver to him as
soon as possible.

and driving pair of mules. cam on

Mr.. Williams opened the letter, and
found, TO his utter establishment, that,

had been elected governor of South Caro-
lima. He took the messenger home, and !

listened to the mass with haggard eyes,

Prudencia was then tied in wagon, and,
