EPISCOPAL CHURCH.-A number o.
members of the Episcopal Church held
a meeting last Saturday with the view
OF forming a society and building a
church in this place. They propose to
sell a portion Of the old Episcopal
Church lot and appropriate the pro-
cceds to the new building. We hope
that they will succeed i'll making the
sale aud, by this means, remove from
the center of town q grave yard which
for a hundred years has excited the as
constituent of strangers passing through
the town. The lot Is valuable for bu'
siness purposes and a more valuable
Church lot could be procured for one
fourth the market price Of this lot. With
the new house Of Dr.. Irwin on the othel
corner, the center Of Woodstock may
yet present very good appearance.

NARROW GUAGE RAILRoAD.-A
bill chartering a company to build a
narrow guage railroad through PowelPs
Fort was passed at the last session OF
the General Assembly. This section OF
the county is very rich in iron one and
manga Several manganese minds
are how opened and the manganese is
hauled for a considerable distance in
wagons. The building Of this road will
add value 10 the large tracts OF timber
land which now ada no capital to their
owners, because the expense OF hauling
destroys the profit. Three furnaces,
with an abundance Of ore have been
operated in this Valley. There is a tinc
stream of water which has its head but
a short distance below ,he New Market
gap and passes through the entire length
Of the Fort, furnishing excellent power
for mills, saw mills, factories, furnaces,
Sc. The proposed road will connect
with the Virginia Midland at some point
at or near Water Lick. An excellent
grade can be secured and capital and
enterprise Will make it a success.

The Next Congress,

The Congressional canvass this
fall will be very warm over the
entire Union, as a sufficient numbe
of districts are in doubt to give the
Republicans hopes of overthrowing
the present Democratic majority
and in that way countorbalancing
the bad effects of losing the Senate.
A good deal depends on the South.
In the present Congress Maryland,
West Virginia, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas and
Kentucky sond clean Democratic
delegations. There are the follow,
ing Republicans from the South !:
From Virginia, one; North Carroll
ma, one; South Carolina, three !;
Florida, one Louisiana, one; Ten~
nessee, two and Missouri, three (;
making ninety-two Democrats and
twelve Republicans in all. At least
nine of the latter should be defeated
in the coming election, to countor-
balance any Democratic losses in
the North. South Carolina should
be specially interested. There is
no reason why she should not mako
a clean Democratic score this time
If proper nominations are made,
and the people work properly the
thing can be done. The election of
General Chalmers, from tho "shoe =
string district" of Mississippi,
where the blacks have q far larger
majority than thoy have in any
district in South Carolina is nm
example worthy of imitation. The
control of the next House by the
Democrats is moro important than
ever before. 1t will givo them
practical control Of the government
for the first time since 1861, besides
putting them in good trim to sweep
the Presidential course in 1880
while losing the House will destroy
the effect of gaining the Senate
and will injure the Presidential
race. Let South Carolina do he,
duty in remanding Cain, Rainey and
Smalls to the shades of private life
or to the Legislative councils OF
Liberia.

Several Footsteps Backward.

With many kind feelings for Mr..
Hayes in consideration of his wise
resolution to let the South alone,
we cannot bat see that he is fast
losing his backbone; while his once
handsome plumage is being sadly
damaged. Two grand principles
were announced by Mr.. Hayes rs
the guiding stars of his administra-
tion, home rule in the South and
OWL service reform. The former
regulated itself and is now in
practical operation. The letter is
but o name, the ghost Of q shadow.
All remember the circular letter
addressed to the ofilce-holders of
the government ordering them to
refrain from politics on pain of
dismissal, and forbiddir the levy
ing Of assessments for political
purposes. Nor has the howl Of
machine Republicans on receipt Of
this bombshell been forgotten.
Their bitter attacks on the admins
istration have been all directed
against this principl The public
.hAyss told Stks q y Old { gNay y s,opf| ,psl
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1878-05-02

packing conventions was the proper
way, besides which it was charged
that Mr.. Hayes was subserving
personal interests in his appoint
ments, and that his nominations
were the worst ever made by any
president. Slowly but surely Mr..
Hayes has roceded from every
position assumed in his letter.
Officials are now allowed to pack
conventions and run parties as Of Old
But the latest back down is the
worst. In answer to query, Mr..
Hayes now says that ho expects to
"contribute his share TO campaign
expenses, and sees to reasons why
Federal officials shall not do like
wise" In other words he approves
the wholesale system of black
mailing clerks in which Zach
Chandler SO excelled. This knocks
the last prop from his vaunted civil
service reform.
Again, as to his appointeos. An
derson, Of the Returning Board,
was made collector Of the port Of
New Orleans, and still retained that
office while in jail on conviction for
forgery. Wells also had position.
Now that public opinion impels
Mr.. Hayes to the stop, he removes
Anderson only to put in friend of
the Returning Board. Tho recent
confessions of McLin and Dennis,
as to the Radical election frauds in
Florida, are said to have been
known to Mr.. Hayes before, or just
after, his inauguration. Yet
McI.in, the chief conspirator, who
defied the Supreme Court of
Florida, was nominated first to the
associate justiceship and then the
chief justiccship Of New Mexico,
and was actually in that territory
when the Senate rejected his ap-
pointment. Dennis, who divulgcs
wholesale ballot-box stuning in
Alachua county, now holds an
Office, and shows tho following
letter written by Hayes shortly
after his inauguration:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, J
WASHINGTON, April 6, 1877.
Dear Sir: I am reliably assured
that Il. g. Dennis, of Florida, would
make capital special agent of the
treasury. I specially desire that
his claims may haye your favorable
attention. Sincerely,
Il. B. HAYES.
Hon. John Sherman, Sec. of
Treasury, SO.
Now that Dennis has confessed,
Mr.. Hayes and his friends think
him trihlng fellow and q great
liar. Such ore somo of the facts
concerning Mr.. Hayes, who has
rctrograded SO fearfully from his
first position.
