WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT CONTRASTING

City Treasurer Vincent sat in his Of
nee this morning with the usual a. b.ne
expression on his pleasant features. A
GAZETTE reporter asked him about the
rumor that he woulc contest the election
for City Treasurer. .9...t
The Treasurer said that he could not
say whether there was any fraud commit
ted OF his own knowledge, and until he
had such Information 1t Wotild be highly
improper for him to say he would dis
pute the election of Mr.. Guthrie at pres

he did not know that any opposition
from him under any circumstances
could be made with efsci. The Coun-
Gil are the judges aud according to the
charter of the city their decision Is final.

fraud proved conclusively that without
Its commission le would have been

of it, then he would certainly dispute II.

Senator Hampton.-Governor Simp.

General Wade Hampton has formally
resigned the office of Governor of South
Carolina and has been duly commission
cd as United States Senator. Ills farewell
letter is published in another column.
On the same day, Lieut.. Governor Silnp-
0 qualified us Governor. 1t is with I'M
loigned regret that we say farewell to
General Hampton as Governor of South
Carolina. We could have wished that he
had stayed with us until we get tout of
the wood" in 1850, for in Washington he
is only one of scven;y-five Senators,
while in Columbia he was the Governor
of this State. 1t is never q difficult mat
ter to make up the seventy-five Senators,
but it is not easy always to get tho right
man to be Governor of South Carolina.
But this is selfish thinking. AS Cover
nor, he has made his mark in history :
many Governors have done cNccllcntly
but he has exccllcd them all. AS Sena-
tor he will kcerjraious and tender watch
over the interests Of his native State, and
be able to serve her as faithfully in the
Senate as he served her in the Executive
office.
The State is fortunate in having as
UamptOn's successor his long-tried and
truStv friend, Governor Simpson. In the
new Governor, we shall find a change OF
men but not a change of measures. The
rod of office could not be placed III firm
cr or filter hands, and South Carolina
confidently cntrusts her chief interests to
the keeping Of Governor Simpson.

Blaine and the Heather Chinec.

.AproDoS of Mr.. Dlaine's stout cham
pionShip Of the negro in the recent SYM
postum published by the North american
Rcricw, it is curious to notice that OH the
22d February Washington's Day-Sacred
to all men who are 'born free and
equally, he voted in favor of the Califor-
MIA Bill which restricts and almost for
bids and prohibits Chinese immigration.
According to Mr.. Blaine, it is right that
the million ignorant negroes of the South
should be cnfranchised citizens, but
wrong to allow the thrifty, economical,
peaceful Chinaman even to come tc
Amcrica-not to speak Of his having the
right to vote. 1t always has made a won
dcrful difference whose OK is gored
Hmpcr'S Weekly has 4 clever cartoon by
Mast representing Blaine hugging a.nc'
gro as q man and brother, but sc~ornfully
discarding the more civilized John China
man. The President almost certainly
will veto the Bill.

Among Us Taking Notes.

The Editor Of the Ncws Travelled over SOM
portions OF Abbevillc county yesterday, and
had the opportunity Of taking II look at the
operations of the stock law, otherwise known
MS the mo fence law" Being on horseback,
his horse frequently whickered and walke
I'D TO the end OF the row to make acquaint-
unces with the horse attached to the plow,
Having Travelled some twelve miles or more,
and talked With "John P~louShman' at many
places by the roadside, he Is fully convinced
that the farmers Of AbbevillC nrG so far well
travelling along the public RI ads of the
county; and finding the fields open, the FENCES
torn down, the plowS running In the open
country, Is somewhat strange to sec and VIC
imagine Il farmer working under the new
inv must feel unincuInbcred. Travelling the
distance we did, and not meeting n COW or
hog, loose horse or stray mule, we must admit
made lis feel. the want Of company; but,
again. we Thought that II we were II farmer
md had a fine field Of oats near by, We would
feel perfectly safe In leaving the gaps own
the gaps extending all around many acres
or, later IN the season, II We had full crops OF
corn, cotton, or other crops, we would never
feel the dread Of dumping cows or other
molestntion from our ~neighbors' stock. the
Abbcville farmers who are always hard ut
roud, and having stopped Il minute to con-
verse with some of them, we found that they
were all pleased with the new law, and every
one predicted that Grecnvillc County, would
"fOllOw suit next year. occasionally we
would sec Il fence hard by and learned that
they were all "pnsturc fences"
Abbeville nrniers are experiencing tine
revolution and are happy ever the results
SO far ind have q hopeful eye to the future.
