The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1880-12-07

ing 1or the Christmas HOLIDAYS and for
tho good things at homo.
But this has already spun out to too
great length. Suffice it to say, tho
Editor got back safe to Winnsboro on
Saturday night, 80 well pleased that he
intends to 60 again ere long.
BENNETT AND GREELEY,
Two Remarkable nIen-Tho A mbltions and
| Personal Appearance Of Each.
| Now York Letter to Cincinnati Gazette.
| Tho former was an Ann street man
Tor six years, and what years of toll
they wercl Ilo met Greeley almost
DAILY, but there was no congeniality,
and it is doubtful if they ever hold a
half hours conversation. Bennett,
however, saw the power of the labori-
Gus printer and editor, who was plod-
ding with such determination, and he
oifcrcd him partnership in tho Her.
0td. Tho idea was impracticable, since
each man was leader, and YOU might
rs well have united Ben Franklin md
Voltairc in grand Journalistic effort.
Both Bennett and Greeley wero ambi-
tlous, but ono looked on the journal
merely rs the road to wealth and dis
tlnctlon, while the other viewed wealth
merely as a means Of making the jour-
nal. The perfect newspaper was Gree
lcy's lifelong ideal. Bennett cared
nothing for the contents of his paper
so long as it sold. Greeley, on tho
other hand, did not expect wide popu-
larity, nor did lie care for its loss so
long as tho paper was maintained in
its noble destiny. He did not (as he
said) "cXrect to please every one, but
he intended to make paper in which
everybody (of decent charactcr) might
find something Of interest and nothing
offensive to morals" For this reason
he employed writer's Of classical attain
mcnts, in which point he was utterly
deficient. Bennett, ON the other hand,
though fine Latin and Greek scholar,
was indifferent to literary style. lie
wanted a corps Of free lanccrS to make
| torHys on society, and required spice
rather than elegance. Greeley cssaved
the discussion Of social topics with q
view Of improving tho race, while
Bennett only laughed at the rcformer
and his ethics. TO quote his words,
"Grccley was galvanized squash"
This was the end Of all controversy.
| When these remarkable men left AIM
street, one went To the cast and the
other to tho west. They, however,
only separated few hundred feet, and
for nearly thirty years each Iaborcd III
producing great journal-but what q
gulf between them
| Greeley and Bonnet, when thcy
I were Ann street editors, were both Of
slender build, but in expression OF
face there was vast difference. Their
offices were near, but they approached

tered Ann street from Broadway,
while Benefits route was from the
Nassau street corner. Greeley, though
slightly STOPPING, looked people square
IN the face, while Bennett, who was
four inches taller, stood bolt upright,
but fixed his eye downward, as though
to conceal his rcpulsivc features. Ben
nett walked stittly and carried q cane.
| Greeley would have felt as awkward
| with tho latter as he would with q
sword. Bennett dressed neatly. Gree
10y was sloVcn. Bennett wrote q
legiblc hand Che was once a tcacher)
while Grcclcy's caligraphy was abom.
Unable. AS an editor, Benefits forte
was to dictate, while Grecley's was to
write. The HeralI's best articles
wcro done by the staff, while the I1t-
6nnc's thundcrbolts bore the stamp Of
it's chief. Both of these men were
abstcmious, and although Bennett
Wns often the apologist for vice, his
haolts were very correct; his intlu-
cncc, however, was always for sale:
each OF these eccentric editors, though
i'll adapted for courtsllip, became mar
ried men. Few had less time for love
matters or less grace to win woman's
favor than Bennett, but he announced
with pride his approaching wedding.
The birth of te ,jeune editeNr was All
nounccd with still greater pride; and
what career that young editor has
endured! Both Greeley and Bennett
were borne to Greenwood eight wears
ago.
STILL ANOTHER SNOW FOR GRANT.
The Proposition to Make Him n Senator
from Ponnsylvania.-Th Why's and tho
Wherefores.
From tho Philadelphia Times
HARRISBURG, Noycmber2S.-Don not
be surprised if General Grant shall
turn up soon as tho candidate of the
Cameron and IIoyt anti-Grow combi
nation for United States Senator. l
speak adviscdlv in saying that it is
seriousl y contemplated, and somc Of
the leaders regard such result as
much more than probable.
The question Of Grants eligibility
has been fully considered, and no
doubt is entertained that he can quali-
~ himself in week or q day.
The constitutional requirement is that
the United States Senator shall be an
Hinbnbitantn of thc State h,,t no ,,o,;
od Of residence is specified. 1t is
known that Grant has no settled resi-
dencc, and ho can become an inhabi-
tant OF Pennsylvania any day. He has
a house in Philadelphia, and that city
is now as much his home as any other
place in the country. This question
has been carefully examined, and
Grant is pronounced eligible.
There are many reasons which COM
bine to make Grant the Pennsylvania
Senator. First Of all and the most inn
portant of all, is the fact that he would
require no division Of patronage. rs all
