IT seems that majority of the people
of the Old Dominion most distinctly and
decidedly and deliberately rejected the
very style of Democrat that is now striv-
ing to destroy politically her chosen rep
resentative. The record shows that SEN
ator Malone, in the Legislature of his
own State, triumphed over the same type
of Democracy that is now attacking him
in the Senate. His Democratic opponents
there proposed all sorts of bargains"
even the support of a wool-dyed Republi-
can, to defeat his election to the Senate.
The contest was bitterly personal, as it
has become here, and he was as signally
successful as he will be here. The peo-
pie back him.

sooner than encounter the prescriptions
incidental to strangers life in the
South. The man whom they should
welcome, and who brings every promise
of aid to them, is the one whom they
most deride and shun. He is a hated
carpet-bagger. The North is built upon
its carpet-baggers. The new man in
Western town is a prize to the commu-
nifty. Heis helpedand encouraged, andhis
political convictions are the last matters
inquired into. He is never hindered by
them, whatever they may be. 1t is
enough to know that he comes with the
purpose of helping on the general well
fare by putting his industry and brains
into the common fund of citizenship.

THE OUTRAGE EMTLL.-Mcssrs. James
@. Davis, Charles X. Rabb and Thom-
as M. Roebuck appeared before Com
missioner Stocbcr in Columbia on
Tuesday to answer the usual charges
Of intimidation. Henry johnson, Levi
johnson, Alex Goode, Tom Moore
and Willis Gamble gave the regulation
testimony, but it was of so flimsy q
nature that Messrs. Davis and Rabb
were released and Mr.. Roebuck held on
the absolutely false charge Of following
Henry Johnson around with a pistol.
On tho same day, Hobbs and a ne
gro named Lopez, who ranks Hobbs
rs a deputy marshal they say, visited
Winnsboro with warrants for the
Mcssrs. Elliott, w. G. Jordan, r. r..
Boyles and George E. Laudcrdalc.
Mr.. j. Il. Barron, of the firm of Lyles
& Barron, came up and arranged for
bonds for those who desired to waive
examination.
Messrs. Lyles and Barron have free
1y and voluntarily appeared before
Commissioner StoebeY as attorneys for
all tho gentlemen arrested from Fair
field since Captain Gaillard's return,
and have been Of great service in Sc
curing the release of some and procur-
ing bail for the others. Though they
say they arc acting merely in tho line
of patriotic duty they nevertheless are
entitled to tho thanks of this commu-
nifty.

How IRISH PEASANTS LIVE.-A cor
respondent of the Boston JournoI,
writing from Galway, says: The dcns,
misnamed cots, in which the peasantry
OF Galway and Mayo counties live are
merely stone shelters. Owing to the
intense ignorance of the people they
arc not provided with any facilities
for drainage. and are often incompara-
bly, filthy. The floors are of hard
mud; it is rare to find moro than one
room in hut, and only one story.
Beds and bedding arc luxurics which
the poorer tenants do not possess; old
heaps Of hay aud straw arc the couchcs
on which the lovely brown-eycd,
srgc-browed madcns Of Connanght
rcposc. Tho smoke from q peat fire
in common PEASANTS cabin spreads
through the room, and you narrowly
escape strangulation OH your first visit.
l have had this experience in Hcrze-
govinn, and consequently minded the
smoke but little. How family decency
is maintained in these dcns is mys-
terry, and how people manage to keep
clcan-for they look clean-is puZ-
zle: The pigs run in and out of the
doors, and such wrctchcd pigs. A.
North Carolina wild hog would be an
aristocrat beside thcml In dozens of
these cabins sick people are to be
tound-sick people dependent either
on the charity Of their neighbors or on
friends in America who send them
small sums. A gentleman in Galway
told me that the agents Of landlords
treated the poorer tcnantry as if they
were animals. lie instanccd the case
OF one agent who, on rent day, when
any tenant was short q half crown in
his payment, would knock tho money
or the table Oh the floor, so as to hui
, initiate the tenant before his fellows.
Up to very recent date the better
class Of tenants would not have dared
resent any such behavior; they were
ready to tawn before the man who in
suited them: Now the tables arc
turned and tho agent sncaks in and
out among the people, taking twenty
five per cent. less than the usual rental,
if indeed he gets anything at all, and
is glad to get away again out Of the
farming district with his head still on
his shoulders.

tic asylum was ON dress parade, Or
that tho happy family Of Noah's Atk
had been kindly placed Oh exhibition
for the evening. Care and ingenuity
had been displayed in preparing cos
tunes for tho OCCASION, and the result
was extremely gratifying to tho man
ayers and the participats, as well as to
those who ATTENDED norelyas lockers
on and spent tho evening in puzzling
their brains i'll tho almost hopeless task
of identifying the merry maskers.
Tho usual incongruous grouping was
observed. Nuns and priests forgot
their vows and indulgcd in mutual
flirtations. Red Riding Hoods and
Grandmothcrs were alike oblivious
of danger from wolves in sleeps
clothing. Scotch lasses disportcd with
cavaliers and Cutlees alike. The white
lady of Avenel was III strong contrast
to the diabolic darkness of the Ku-
kluX. Youth and age had g struggle for
tho mastery, but tho latter triumphcd
and dragged her grandmother around
willing captive. Night in her starry
robe trippcd along as gaily as rosy
fingered Aurora might have done.
The Clown and tho female Giant
would have been engaged by Barnum
(not tho special deputy OH the spot.
Brother Jonathan and Mother Goose
were striking contrast. The Gypsy,
true to her calling, read what the stars
said to the soldier. Richard Cpur do
Leon and Saladin, the Turk, consortcd
together in fratcrnal amity, while q
courticr in silver and satin and an-
othce i'll velvet and sword were quite
conspicuous. A Rainbow gave oppor-
tlnc assurance that this vile weather
cannot last always, while Cuflce and
Dinah seemed determined to have
good time anyhow. An old granger
stood at the door contemplating the
general spectacle with great sang
troid.
1t would be vain, however, to at
tempt to enulncrate all the distin-
guished persons who were present and
added to the success of the occasion.
During the first part Of the evening
only maskers were allowed on the
floor, but the signal for unmasking
came at eleven o'clock with its ANUS
ing surprises, and after this there was
general participation in the dancing.
Music was furnished by string band
from Columbia, and under its innu-
ence somo danced who never danced
before and those who had danced
danced the more. 1t was after two
O'Clock before the entertainment clos
cd.
Thus passed of one Of the pleasant
est festive occasions that Winnsboro
has ever enjoyed. We doubt not that
it will be the precursor of other similar
events.

A Preposterous Claim.

Under this caption the Charleston Ne'CS
and Courier of yesterday thus refers to the
Associated Press dispatch, which was pub
lished on Saturday. The dispatch says
chat Michael Fentenhein's claim against
the United States Government for 100000
has been referred by the Treasury Depart
ment to United States Commissioner Shield.
The dispatch goes on to say that Fentenhein
came to this country in 1S47 from France, to
which country he never renounced allegi-
ance, and that during the late civil war he
claims that his property at Pelican Point.
Morris Island, was confscated by Gen. Gill
more, of the Union army, also that $50, 900 be
had in the Farmers Exchange Bank was
taken, as well as SO 1000 in gold and $1,000
in greenbscks by deserters from Gen. But
ler's command.
"The name of the claimant has probably
been wrongly sent, as no such person as
Fentenhein ever had property st Pelican
Point. The property alluded to, including
the soil, to whomever it belongs, has been
nearly all washed away by the encroachment
Of the sea-"
