The choice of fourteen Republicans in dis
tricts where the Chamber of Deputies had
ordered new elections, is another striking
illustration of the drift of public sentiment in
France. Gains such as these will consolidate
the Republic and perfect the work which the
recent constitutional laws are intended to de-
fend.

School for Nurses, graduated yesterday a class

The strike of the bricklayers was an excep-
ton to the usual luck of demands nowadays
for higher wages. The time for the strike
being fixed at the busiest time of the building
trades all the employers whose men insisted
upon an increase Of wages granted it, and
work was nowhere interrupted. The strikers
numbered, however only 400, and there are
many bricklayers who are still working at the
low wages.

BY the statement of the Board of Excise, it
is shown that one-half of the 5000 bar-roOms
in this city are unlicensed. Either the law of
1857 or its administration must be very much
at fault when more than 1000 unlicensed
saloons are allowed to carry on their trade
openly, and it will hardly be claimed that the
bell-punch can cure the defects of either.

Mr.. Hewitt's plan to facilitate Congressional
business by using the old Hall of Representa-
tives for business sessions of the House. and
the present Hall for important occasions,
seems of doubtful practicability. The Ameri-

voted for the Phosphate Bill, posi-
lively assorted that he had not voted
for the bill, but had "fought it from
beginning to end" Il think these are
his own words) not agreeing
that he even voted for it on the
third reading as ho is given credit
for, in his published speech, but

long after tho close of his defense,
when he was requested to find his
vote as recorded in tho Legislative
House Journal. But let's go the
record for settlement of this ques-

We find that Mr. Gaillard voted for
this bill to bo .engrosscd for third

in which Mr.. Stephens announced
his intention of running even if the
convention failed to nominate him,
this paper protested against a
nomination of Mr.. Stephens by the
convention, as undemocratic, un-
manly, and contrary to all rules of
party discipline. It yields now to
tho convention, rs all good Demo-
Gratis should. Had tho people of
that district been as staunch as the
Chronicle and ConStitutionoEist,

just above West Boundary street.

age, got beyond his depth, and,
being unable to swim. went under.

THE PUBLIC IeOID5.

Messrs. Editors Il noticed in
your lost issue O. gentle reminder Of
| the condition of some of the roads
in our county, and especially of the
hill west of Ellison's creek, and also
that the commissioners had already
contracted for the improvement of
the same. Now, Messrs. Editors,
we have just such hill, and it is
situated on tho section of road over
which am overseor, part of the
"Cowshorn" road, about five and q
half miles south of Winnshoro. I
hayo worked my section of the road
once, and since working it, it has
boon reported. With tho force,
tools and timo have to work this
road, together with the awful con-
dition of thi s hill, it is impossible
for mo to render it fit for travelling
over, and il the public complain, I
feel no responsibility. From top to
base the hill is about one hundred
yards long, and is u bed of solid
and loose rocks the bed of the
road being washed down about six
feet deep, just the width of Il wagon,
with large rocks projecting on
either side, rendering it utterly
impossible for more than one
vehicle to pass at a time, and that
vehicle must be drawn by good
team. The bed Of the road is
washed full of deep ruts, which run
III various zigzag courses, as the
dirt has been washed from between
The humorous large rocks which are
firmly embedded in tho earth. The
bitches which Of necessity, must be
cut on the sides of the road for
drainage, or rather for preventing
the water from flowing over the
road, will have to be cut, each one
hundred yards long, and cannot be
cut straight without tho uso of
blasting powder owing to the i'm
pediments in the shape Of granite
rock. Will not our efficient county
commissioners give out contract
on this hill and let us have a good
road ? [ Was appointed overseer
on this section in the early part Of
this year, but found the hill in
question in such a bad condition L
could not do it much good: They
have been hauling ponderous rocks
oyer this hill for the last five years,
and to my certain knowledge it
hasn't had thorough working for
six years past. We would earnestly
call tho attention of the county
commissioners to this hill, and
would also hint that we, of this
section, arc taxpayers too.
