Mr.. Hayes is said to be the latest con-
vert to Grantism for third term. 1t is
announced that he would regard the
nomination of Grant as an endorsement
of his administration, which he claims
has founded its policy upon Grants ex-
perience. Grant, he thinks, would carry
ont his Southern and financial policy,
while such man as Blaine would be
likely to reverse it. These are his osten-
si5le reasons, but we imagine that be
has rather tender feeling for Grant, on
account of the way he used United
States troops in Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina to secure the votes OF
these States for his fraudulency during
the last presidential election. In sup
porting the ex.President now Mr.. Hayes
is only returning the favors shown him
in 1876.

The Fattest Man in the World.

The London Lancet announces rs the
champion heary 'ceight, Mr.. VIM. Camp
bell, of New Castle on Tyne. He weighs
over SO stones l72S lbs.); is six feet four
inches high, measures round the should
ers 9G inches, round the waist s. inches,
and round the calf of his leg 35 inches.
He is only % years old. 1t is with dilli-
Guilty that he keeps his present lom weight.
He was brought up printer, but his
size compelled him to discontinue all
labor. Until recently corpulcncy has
been considered natural condition, but
since, by tho use Of Allan's Anti-Fat, a
sure reduction Of from two to five pounds
week is effected, it is believed to be a
disease. II Mr.. Campbell would use the
Anti-Fat, Which is harmless vegetable
remedy, for twelve months, lie would be
reduced to respectable working weight.

We are very much pleased to see that

We are very much pleased to see that
the Democratic Presidential slate-makers
are beginning to speak with much favor
of Senator Bayard, of Delaware, as the
most probable nominee. We have here
tofore expressed the belief that the Sc
lection should be made from Northern
or Eastern men, and of these Senator
Bayard is our choice. He is the very
impersonaton Of truth, honor and pa
triotism. Such 4 nomination by the
Democrats would not only secure the
party vote, but it would rally the better
element of all parties, and give to the
country canvass in which the enthusi-
asm for in honest candidate could not be
resisted. There is no more perfect char
acter in American politics than Thomas
F. Bayard, of Delaware. A pure chris
tian gentleman, simple in his habits,
honorable and upright in his life, high
and patriotic in his purposes, cultivated
and able as statesman, he would make
the greatest President the county has
ever had, and restore the government to
its original moorings.

The Augusta Chronicle and Constitu-
tionaHst has been the able and persistent
advocate of deepening the Savannah
River so as to render it navigable for
small steamers, and informs US that OH
the fifth of November last Mr.. James P
Carson, under the direction Of Gen. Gil
more, chief of the United States Engi-
neer Corps, began survey of the river,
which extended up the Tugalo prong Of
the stream to the junction of the Tallulah
and Chatooga rivers. He reports about
thirty miles from Augusta the Long
Shoals, five miles; about sixty.fivc miles
from Augusta Trottcr's Shoals, seven
miles long, with fall Of seventy-five
feet then comes twenty-hvcs miles of
good stream, II to Is feet deep, to Little
River, after which the stream to Ander-
sonvillc is very bad, having the Cherokee
Shoals, fall of sixteen feet per mile (;
also, the Mcdaniel, Gregg and Middleton
Shoals. Above Andersonyille are Hat
ton and Guest Shoals. He thinks the
river to Andersonville eau be rendered
navigable for a much less sum than has
been previously thought, and favors
opening up the river by removing the
distractions, without canals or dams.
Above Andersonyille, for q distance of
thirLy-fve miles, to a point near Pan
theirs Creek, a small steamer drawing
two feet of water can easily be navigated.
An estimate Of the cost will be furnish
ed, and Congress will be urged to appro-
PIRATE sufficient sum to open the river.
If done, it will develop fertile region
of country, which, though in large
measure neglected now, is susceptible of
the highest development. With steam
boats plying the waters of the Savannah,
its shores would become the site of pros
porous settlements, and lucrative en-
p.oyment in all kinds of labor.

In making her Christmas donations
Mrs. A. I. Stewart included iu her list
three Hebrew benevolent societies of
New York, and Judge Hilton notified
the officials that they could procure the
money given by applying to him. They,
however, refused to accept the donations
because of the affront offered persons Of
their nationality by Judge Hilton, as the
agent of Mrs. Stewart, in refusing them
admission to the Stewart hotel in Sara
toga. This action is very consistent
and proper one, especially as leading
Israelties contributed the sums offered, so
that the charitable institutions will not
suffer by the refusal.

Senator Conkling's friends announce
positively that he will not be candidate
for the Presidential nomination from the
Republican Convention. This is a SUR
prise to the whole country, and is accom-
panied by the explanation that the SEN
ator prefers to be the leader of his party
in Congress rather than risk his influence
in seeking the Presidency. This shows
much wisdom on the part Of Mr.. Couk-
ling, for he gracefully retircs in this
manner from the contest which would
have two very doubtful problems to be
solved, First, he could hardly get the
nomination from his party; and, second,
if nominated he could hardly be elected,
as the country has about decided to take
a Democrat next time.

The resumption of specie payments
began on yesterday, the 1st of January,
1879, and it is expected that it will be
continued without injury to the COM
merce or citizens of the country. Green
backs are on par with gold, and unless
there is combination of the bankers in
the large cities to produce corner in
gold as a speculation, there will probably
be no shock to the country in the change.
Money matters will continue to be hard
for year or SO until values get fully ad-
justed, but we trust the greater portion
of the financial troubles of our country
are over.

Tile Supreme Court of the United
States has just decided case from Ten
nessee which will be of interest to the
whole country, and particularly to the
Southern States, in which there were
State banks whose bills were receivable
fo7 taxes. The decision is set forth in
the following condensation from the
CAronical and Constitutionaii,t:: "The
Bank of Tennessee, organized more
than twenty years before the civil war,
issued notes which the State agreed, by
q clause in the banks charter, to receive
for taxes. The notes issued during the
supremency of the Confedcracy, howev-
ever, we're declared void by the Consti-
tuition adopted at the reconstruction of
the State, and the collector Of taxes,
who refused to receive them, WAS made
defendant in this suit, plaintive claim
ing that this constitutional amendment
was itself void. The Supreme Court
finds nothing in the record to show that
these notes were issued in aid of the re-
bellion, and nothing from which pre-
sumption to this effect can be properly
drawn and decides First-That the
constitutional amendment declaring
these notes void is of no effect because it
impairs obligations of contracts. Sec
ond-That the State of Tennessee has
always, since its first admission into the
Union, been the State Of Tennessee. It's
secession did not, according to the major
ity, interfere with its perpetual success
ion and perpetual identity. Not only is
it the same body polite now, but has al
ways been the same. 1t has not only
been all this time a State and the same
State, but it has always been one of the
United States-a State of the Union.
Referring especially to the share of the
State in the rebellion, the majority say :
1t never escaped the obligations of that
Constitution, though for n while it
may have ended their enforcement" }"
From this decision Chief Justice Waite,
together with Associate Justices Bradley
and Harlan, dissent, and emphatically
protest that banks of rebellious districts
were used in aid and support of the re-
bellion, and deny that the acts of a. re-
bellious State are binding on recon-
structed State. This position of the mi
nority, if carried to its legitimate length,
would expunge all contracts or obliga-
tions of the State incurred before or du-
ring the war, which would be rather a
wholesale reputation, but fortunately
for the holders of this class of claims
against Southern States, the majority OF
the Court think differently. Judge
Bradley says this decision will ultimate
ly lead to the recognition of the war
debts of the rebel States" The principle
of the decision will also apply to the
Bills of the Bank of this State which
were issued during the war, and will in
crease the States liabilities to the extent
of the war issue of these bills. They are
in the hands of the people all over the
State, and will no doubt be bought up at
nominal rates by spectators as the Bills
of the Bank of the State issued before
the MAR have been.

The government is determined to make

The government is determined to make
a most vigorous prosecution of the al
legged election frauds in South Carolina,
and during the session of the United
States Circuit Court in Charleston, which
convenes this month, desperate effort
will be made to secure the conviction of
Democrats OH perjured testimony in
order to sustain the position of the Re-
puLlicans who charge such wholesale
fraud. With view of dignifying these
trials and giving confidence in their re-
suit, it has been arranged that Chief
Justice Waite is to be present as one of
the Judges. Of course, he is far above
any conspiracy with the disreputable
efforts at oppression which are being
made in this State, but he cannot weigh
the character Of the witnesses and their
motives, so that he may be imposed on
by them; but the people will be glad to
have the Chief Justice, for it will ensure
at least fair exposition Of the law. 1t
is also asserted that the iron-clad oath
is to be administered to the Jurors in
order that none but colorcd men or men
in sympathy with the Republicans in
these cases may be summoned from the
bystanders to try them, or in other words
in order to enable them to pack the juries.
We do not believe that any such course
will be permitted by Chief Justice Waite,
for there are grave doubts as to the legal
ity of such u procedure, and beyond the
examination of juror, on oath, as to
whether he has formed an opinion or not
upon the case, it is unreasonable and out
rageous to go, except to exercise the lc-
gal right OF challenge allowed either par
ty. In 1871 Congress repealed the law
requiring the test oath of Federal jurors,
but in codiying the laws it was put in
the Revised Statutes Of the United States
by the Radical Codificrs, and thus Con-
gress inadvertently re-enacted it. This
restoration of so iniquitous law was eff
fected by trickery, and there is grave
doubt as to its being law. The Revised
Statutes processes to be a codiication Of
the laws in existence and not the enact
ment of new laws; hence, any provision
contained in it is dependent upon the
original statute for its force and operation,
and as the law requiring the test oath for
Federal jurors has been repealed no such
statute exists, and the provision in the
revised statute cannot he enforced. If il
should be, the defendants in these cases
would have excellent grounds for appeal.
The Republicans have made so much fuss
about election frauds that public senti'
ment will condemn them as arrant falsi.
iers if they fail to prove their charges in
the Courts, and hence they will resort to
any means, however disreputable, they
think will tend to secure conviction. De.
spite these odds and difficulties we have
an abiding faith that right will prevail,
that the prosecutions will prove unsuc-
cessful, and the Radical falsehoods about
South Carolina will be exposed.

Since the death of Bayard Taylor,
United States Minister to Germany, there
has been quite list of competitors en-
tered for the vacant mission. Senator
Christiancy, of Michigan, is prominently
urged, but it is not generally thought
that his claim will be recognized, for it is
understood that his friends are pressing
him for this position with a view of
making vacancy in the Senate, which
is to be filled by the election of Zach.
Chandler. Mr.. Eugene Hale, Chandler's
son-in-law, is prominent among Mr..
Christiancy's friends on this occasion.
Gov. Hartranit, of Pennsylvania, is the
choice of the Camerons, and may be
said to be the representative of the mill
tary spirit of the country. Mr.. Wash
burne, late Minister to France, is also
said to be willing to represent the gov
ernment once more in its diplomatic
service. George William Curtis, Of New
York is likewise prominently spoken OF,
and as he is one of the literary men of
the country, it is thought he will find
favor at the hands of the President and
Mr.. Evarss, who are accused of having a
partiality for "thcm literary fellows" I"
Hon. T. B. Bryan, ex-Commissioner, is
also urged for the appointment on the
ground of personal fitness, in that he is
a fluent writer and speaker in French,
German and other modern languages,
and has had considerable experience in
American politics. There are numerous
other applicants, and it is more than
probable that some clark horse" will
win this race, as is generally the case.
Tho appointment will be made in the
next ten days, and the disappointed ap-
plicants will go to looking up some other
vacancy in the hope of getting a place"
