Fewer Elections,

The Nes0s and Courier fayors ain
extension Of tho terms of office, 50
that the State need not be harasscd
by so frequently recurring elections.
South Carolina has been cursed with
politics ever since the war, and the
people need rest. In the anomalous
condition of our politics it is the
highest duty Of every citizen to par
ticipate actively in all clccticns,. and
relief can be properly obtained only
by having fewer ofathcm. The crea-
ton of longer terms will tend some
what, also, to check the scramble for
office, and will necessarily result in
securing greater efficiency on the part
Of public servants. Under the pres
cnt law their, seats are scarcely warm
before they arc bounced out to make
way for raw hands; while, in case
they give satisfaction, it is much bet
ter to allow them longer time without
requiring the voters to go through the
needless ceremony Of rc-clccting them.
The State officers should be chosen for
four years.
The expected passage Of bill by
the Legislature authorizing the gov
crnor to fill, by appointmcnt, all
vacancies arising, from whatever
cause, in odd years will be great
relief. Fairfield has at present the
prospect Of holding an election every
year for some Office or another. But
1fthis law passes, the governor will,
next year, appoint a sheriff and a
board of county commissioners to
serve until the genoral election Of
1880, and in 1881 will appoint clerk
of court to hold Office until the election
Of 1882, after which the terms of all
the county officers will expire on even
dates. This is very simple device
for getting around: a great trouble,
and the passage Of the act will be one
of the wiscst pieces Of legislation of
the session.

Bubbling Champagne and Brotherly
Love,

If religion is tho great civilizcr, it
is no less true that champagne is the
great harmonizer. The bitterest
enmitiesa are exploded with the popping
OF corks, and protcstations of undying
love and reconciliation bubble oycr
with tho frothing glasses. No more
notable instance of this can be adduc-
ca than recent banquet given to the
actor, John Mccullough, by the
celebrities Of Washington, as reported
by the Jenkins of the New York
Herald (not Mr.. Nordhofr this time. }
After showing that General Shcr-
man presided at tho table, and that

"without restraint and with tho best

BETTER FEELING

Part of Congressmen.

Prevailing Towards the Executive on the
Part of Congressmen.
Chicago, April 12.-The Inter Ocean
Washington special says: Within the
last few days a remarkable change has
taken place in the attitude of a great
majority of the congressman toward the
President, owing to some impercepti-
BILE influence, and the caucus Wednesday
developed it. There was nothing of
of any particular Importance said
or done. But there was revelation of
kindlier feeling towards the President
than was supposed to exist, and there
were mutual surprises all around at the
sentiments expressed. The speech of
congressman Williams, of Wisconsin,
at the caucus, was one of the most
lengthy in opposition to Mr.. Sargent's
resolution and was very correct eX-
preston of the general sentiment. His
remarks surprised the people, who sup
posed that he was one of the most ex
treme opponents of the President, and
the substance of them is quite freely
quoted to-day. He confessed to having
been one of the most radical in his dis
sent from the policy, but he would no
do anything to produce discord or di
vision in the party. He considers tn,
Presidents order regarding Office hold
ers taking part in politics unwise, bu
he thought the resolutions of Sargen
asking the President to rescind equal.
unwise. He would be glad to have ac
complished what it was intended to &C
complish by the resolutions. But h
believed the course would fail and tn
breach would be widened by thei
adoption.

Constantinople, April l2.-The Porte
has issued circular to its representa-
tiyes abroad. 1t recognizes the treaty
of San Stefano as the result of the re-
verses sustained by Turkey in the late
war, and expresses determination to

declares the Porte would, nevertheless,
regard as opportune any notifications
which might be made by a benevolent
Intervention of the Powers and mode
ration of Russia. The circular con-
eludes by stating that whatever may he
the issue of the present negotiations,
the Porte pledges itself to carry out the
projected reforms.

What Russia Means,

nal de st. Petersburg reviewing the
opinion of the foreign press upou
Gortschakoff's reply, concludes as fol-
lows: "The real desire of Russia to
bring about "A peaceful solution of the
difficulties, meet with universal recog-
milton. The British government must
now abandon its purely negative atti-
tude, either by inviting the Powers to
assemble for common negotiations, or
by proposing solutions which the Brit
ish cabinet might wish to substitute
for a treaty of San Stefano. Should
the Powers find compromise, Russia
would willingly participate in the dis
cussion and modify the treaty. Such a
solution should not, however, nullify
the results gained by Russian blood,
but should take into account her large
sacrifices.

LIVELY DISCUSSION
On the Proposal to Pay Southern War
Claims.

On the Proposal to Pay Southern War
Claims.
Washington, April 12.-House went
into the committee of the whole. Pri-
vate calender taken up.
The first bill on the calendar was that
to reimburse the college of William and
Mary, in Virginia, for property destroy
ed during the war. Goode, who had
reported the bill from the committee
on Education and Labor, advocated its
passage. He reminded the gentlemen
on the other side, who opposed the bill
because they thought it would open the
door of the treasury to an avalanche of
southern war claims, that this bill es-
tablished no precedent; no like case
would ever appear again. He thanked
the grand old commonwealth of Mas
sachusetts for her words of cheer, and
appealed to the House to lift the insti-
tuition from the dust. Loring advoca-
ted the appropriation not merely as a
legal right, but because he was as CRATE
full to the college as he was to his Har-
ward, and for her gift and his country
he was willing to forgive her errors.
He would set no precedent but called
ON the country to preserve the ancient
landmarks of national greatness. Reed
said that Loring would at an early day
regret these words, as he (Reed) did
now.

MASSACHUSETTS.
The Union Mills Defaulter.

Fall River, April 12.-Further de-
velopments have been made in the
Chace defalcation, it being shown that
the control of the Union mill was in
the hands of Chace and his immediate
family, Chace holding Al shares in his
own name and controlling others, the
directors being comparatively small
stockholders. The scheme of building
the new mill was pushed through by
him against the wishes of the more
conservative directors. They were
outvoted, and through his desperate
efforts he was enabled to float his debts.
Various expedients have been sug-
gested, but probably nothing will be
done until complete discovery is made.
The mill will be shut down indefinitely
tomorrow. Chace will only be arrested
when the directors have exhausted every
means to discover where the money has
gone to. 1t is believed that he has
squandered everything, and besides
that, has run through several large be-
quests. A depressing effect upon the
Fall River manufacturing interests is
feared; but measures are being taken
to prevent similar disasters hereafter.

STILL ON RESUMPTION.
A New Plan Proposed.

Washington, April l2.-The Senate
Finance committee has agreed to dis
pose of the question of resumption of
specie payments on Tuesday next.
Although no vote was taken to day, the
tenor of discussion indicated a very
strong probability that majority of
the committee will decide to report as
a substitute for the House bill new
proposition, the main feature of which
will provide that all United States legal
tender notes outstanding on the first
day of July next shall be receivable for
custom dues and all other obligations,
except where otherwise explicitly stip-
ulated. This will, it is claimed. estab-
lish practical resumption by bringing
United States notes to a par with gold.

A More Moderate Tone.

London, April l2.-At Vienne Prince
Gortschakoff's reply created an impress
sion of Russia's willingness to accept a
method for re-opening negotiations.
This moderate spirit is believed to be,
in great measure, due to the altered
tone of the comments of the German,
French and Italian press. and the poll
ticians, concerning the treaty of San
Stefano. which point to probability OF
Russia instead of England being isola-
ted in case of rupture.
