IT is intimated that Secretary SHERMAN
is on a visit to Ohio for the purpose Of con-
sulting with the leading men of the Repub-
lican party on the subject being its can
didate for Governor in the coming election.
There may and there may not be truth in
the rumor, but one thing is very certain,
should he consent and become n candidate
that would settle the question in that State.
The issue would he honest money, and his
election would be vouchsafed beyond per-
adventure. While we should regret his
separation from his present position, his ac-
ceptance of the leadership of Ohio would
be hailed with public rejoicing.

IT is several days since we have seen any
allusion in the Democratic press TO the

is, the Bourbons went foolng around the

positive proof OF its existence, as the man
said when the mule kicked him.

THE Soothing-Syrup movement received a
little impetus the other day when Colonel
WARD II. LAMoN mentioned DAVID DAVIS
as an available candidate for the Democrats
next year; but the even current Of its tur-
gid flow has been impeded by the further
announcement that LAMoN Is now, rs he
ever has been, thorough-going Republican.
Soothing Syrup may be a good thing for
babes but the Bourbons could only be per-
suaded to use it when there was no other
kind of saccharine matter at hand, aud even
then the would prefer "theit'n straight"
LAMoN is a deep, deep, practical joker.

II the case had been reversed and the
Republicans had been abruptly met by a
veto from Democratic President, does any
one suppose they would have wasted a
weeks time in the resort of towards and
demoralized imbeciles known as a caucus
Most assuredly they would not, for they
are and always have been brave enough to
meet the inevitable face 10 face and make
the best terms possible with fate. A eau.

sultation, is good thing in its way; but
when it is permitted to usurp the powers

Yesterday afternoon John Mcekcr
was tried before Justice Knox on
charges Of disturbing tho peace and
assault and battery. The case grew
out Of a disturbance which took place
at q social party ut Mr.. Adams house
on South Il street. 1t appeared that
the defendant, Mecker, had been invit-
cd to a little party ut Adams house on
Tuesday evening. He attended the
party, taking his girl. Adams, the
complaining witness, testified that
while the frolic was in progress the
defendant charged him with improper
conduct toward tho young lady he
brought there, and finally assaulted
him, striking him once in the eye (eye
exhibited to the jury). Attorney for

THE RAILROADS. BL1NDNEss.-Afc few
days ago Messrs. Doty s. Co., of
Winnsboro, received q consignment Of
wagons from n Western factory.
Twenty-six were stored away in one
box car. The Charlotte Road charged
tifty-six dollars freight from Columbia,
thirty-tive miles. Messrs. Doty s. Co.
offered thirty-five dollars, the weight
charge Of a cor for the distance, but
tho Road refused it. Thcrcupon Mr..
Doty sent some teams to Columbia and
hauled the wagons up, and tho road,
which could have made thirty-five dol
lars for merely hauling tho car thirty
five miles, received nota cent. Twcn-
ty-six Studebaker two-horsc wagons
are packed in one car, and yet they do
not reach the standard of thirty pounds
to the cubic foot, and are therefore
light articles. 1t is pleasing to note
that this hidc-bounl policy overrcach-
cd itself. In the same way tho Road
charges so much for transporting live
stock to Columbia, that cattle men al
ways drive their stock to Columbia.
Liberality in business pays sometimes.
