TAe Coming Contest tm South
Carolina.

Aftor his election, Judge Mackcy nt Chos-
tor, said thcro was conflict between Gen.
Gary and tho extreme mon in tho State and
Gov. Hampton, and that in all probability a
fierce contest would be ~agcd this fall between
these parties for power. The Charleston
Ne'cs and Courier scents the danger and says:
''Washington's Day. in Charleston, was
not distinguished by the finishing of guns and
the pooplo wcro gathered together, and when
counsel and cxhortation, for these present
days might be fifty linked with the lessons of
tho life Of Washington. Two addresses deli .

heard, as they can be read, by every citizen
Of the State. The addresses are that of Gen.
McGowan before tho Washington. Artillery

Hampton to tho Washington Light Infantry

"Gon. McGowan. with mastery oloquonco,

the task Of Washington when Independence

Hampton is IN aarmst. When he warns
the people t;,at tho coming State election will
be the crisis in the history Of tho State we
know that he weighs his words. The peril,

The Celebration OF SyashingioM's
birthday iM Charleston.

The celebration Of tho 22d Of February, in
Charleston, was magnificent affair Gov.
Hampton was present as was a military
company from Richmond, Virginia, md other
distinguished men from that State Gov.
uampton reviewed tho military, who wcrc
out in largo numbers.
Gen. MCGOWAN, of Abbovillo, was tho
orator of tho occasion, and acquitted himself
with great honor and credit.
Gov. Hampton also reviewed tho colored
militia, and made them highly conservative
speech.
The Ne,os and Courier, in its description Of
tho celebration, says if any proofs were wanted
of the complete rehabilitation of South Caro-
lima in the rights and privileges Of tho
American Union, it was amply furnished
yesterday by tho pomp and circumstance,
enthusiasm and cclat Of the celebration of tho
anniversary of the natal day Of "rhc Father
of his Country" Charlcstonans and Caro-
linians were yesterday again Americans. and
if it had been given to the hero of tho Revo-
luton to gaze into futurity and look down the
long vista of the coming years, no event pro-
scented to his view would havo given him SO
sweet assurance Of Immortality ms such a
tribute to his memory. That The government
which ho sought to establish ehould have
survived so tcrriblo struggle as tho war
between the States, that even the defeated
party should at last come out of that war and
it's consequences without their liberty being
impaired, and that they should not cherish
tho momory Of his virtues, and that they
should still turn to him with love and admi-
ration as tho founder of free Republic, is
indeed guarantee that his name will 1.-Two for
ages.
1t added greatly to the glory of the day tha
so conspicuous part in the celebration was
assigned to Governor Hampton, tho liberato,
of South Carolina man so much like Wash
ington in character and history, and wht
does, and ever will occupy so largo place

We celebrated tho birthday of tho great Vir
ginian, Virginians should bo the guests Q

in the parade, was happy circumstance
and added much to tho significance Of tn
occasion.

T,lle .Storln.

A storm of wind hail rain, thunder and
lightning visited us on last Thursday after.
noon, which for u timo threatened to overturn
and destroy everything in it's path. AT Wal.
hula tho wind was quito brisk and hail fell
in considerable quantities. doing no damage,
however,. Beyond this point in tho direction
OF Westminster and around towards aud 10
the Government lands the storm was fearful.
Fromra gentleman who visited our ofioo on
Saturday we gather tho following faots:--
The storm first mado it's appearance beyond
Conneross Greek, on tho, farm Of Mrs. Ifessa,
blowing down her barn, stables and oil her
outbuildings, damaging her fencing, timber
and some stock. Mr.. j. D. Abbott was tho
next sufferer Tho top Of his dwelling house
was blown of, md his barn and outbuildings
farm of John Adds, blowing down all his
outbuildings, including his bnrn, corn crib,
fences and timber, and carrying clear away
n considerable amount of fodder and othor
roughness. Edward Evans, colorod, was the
noxt to feel the fury Of the elements. The
tops of his dwelling house, smoke house, corn
crib and cotton house wero blown off. His
barn, 20 feet wide and 80 feet long, was
blown fat to the ground. lIo had q horse,
yoke Of oxen aud ono milk COW in the barn
were killed. lie had all his fencing amount.
ing to about 600 panels, blown fiat to the
ground. On 25 acres of woodland he has
$500 worth of timber on tho ground by tho
storm. Edward Evans lives four miles South
Of Walhalla, on what is known as the Govern.
mont land. Tho farm of Mr.. Leopold was
next to receive the hurricanes blow. His
ontbuildings wcre all blown down. destroying
timber, fences. 60. Tho storm thon crossed
the Bluo Ridge Railroad about two miles
below the depot, uproo,ing and blowing down
trees in great quantities. One largo pine
tree was blown across tho railroad track,
which delayed tho train until it could be cut
md removed. We navo heard nothing of the
storm beyond tho crossing Of tho railroad,
md presume it spent its fury among tho
Forest timbor. The damage by tho storm is
estimated Mt from 81 900 10 $1,000

RAILROAD BRlBERY.--We nro glad to soc
attention called to q corrupt practice, bonn in
tho period of Radical misrnlc and shamefuliy
accepted by our Democrat Legislature. Wo
allude to tho acceptance of free passes from
tho railroads by members of our Legislature.
These railroads have past interests liable to
be affected by legislation, and tho manifest
purpose OF The free passes is TO cOnc2idtc and
procure /ucor. Each mcmbcr receives from
the Railroad that leads from Columbia to his
home, in the course ofa session, as a gruinity,s
from $50 to $50, and yet knows that he may
be called up. to vote on measures affecting
that very road. IIc would be rghtconsly in
dignant if that amount of money were offered
him by the road in grconbacks; but quietly
pockets free pass, which amount to tho same
thing.
When Justice AIcrvor went upon the bench,
he quietly returned free pass that was sent
to him, and it wns believed that his example
would be followed, and that an illustration
of the superior purity Of Democrats would DO
afforded We arc sorry to learn TINT only
iow of our Democratic Legislators have fol-
lowed his wholesome example, conspicuous
among these few being our representative,
George W. Dargan, Esq. Apart from its
manicst impropriety. the practice lcngthcns
the session of the Legislature Members run
homo every Saturday and rctnrn on Monday,
and thcso days arc consequently lost, though
paid for by the State. The member pays
nothing for his travel to and from home, and
yet he has CHS check" to receive his miicaUe
with his other pay The pressure of public
opinion ought to be brought to bear upon this
scandal.-D Darlington Ncvs
