Mr.. A. B. Williams. the editcr
icr the past yea: of the Grecnville
Ne~S, has bought the paper from
the former publishers, Messrs.
Richardson, Lucas & Co., and is
now sole proprietor. Since Mr..
Williams connection with the Neus
it has been a real live paper, with
IDEAS and convictions of it's own.
Mr.. Williams became so we'll known
to the reading public while on the
Charleston NeacS and Courier staff,
especially through his interesting
letters from Liberia, that it would
be superhuous to speak of bis abili-
ty as q writer. He is one of those
untiring, persevering men who are
not content with their work until it
is well done. It is said that a good
reporter does not make a good edi
tor Perhaps he does not make a
moael editor; because it is the pro.
vince of the average editor to be
heavy, stupid, stilty and dull, while
reporter, if he is fit for his posi-.
ton, must be bright, natural and
entertaining. A good reporter,
however, does make a good editor
and Mr. Williams has made a good
editor. His editorials are always
worth reading, and they are read
able.
The course of the Neus has been
marked by perfect consistency, and
and an unwayering devotion to the
best interests Of South Carolina,
and the Democratic party.
Mr.. Williams promises to make
improvements in the Neus, and to
make it paper worthy the patron.

him success in his attempts we
want to see a real, first class daily

The New York Senators Re-
sign.

Quite sensation has been pro-
duced in political circles by the re-
signation of Roscoe Conkling and
Thomas G. Platt, Z. S. Senators
from New York. There has been
war between Conkling and Presi-
dent Garfield since the beginning
of the extra session. Indeed, there
was never much love between them.
Conkling led the Grant forces at
the Chicago Convention in 1880
and held the solid phalanx of 3O6
for the General until the Blaine and
Garfield combination broke the
deadlock, aud ran up Garfield from
one vote to an overwhelming nomi-
nation. Conkling was not only de-
feated, but he was thoroughly dis
gusted, and for a long time refused
to take any part in the campaign.
4 truce was patched up, however,
by which, (Conkling's friends say,
he was promised all sorts of execu-
tive favors if he would help to carry
New York for Garfield. He then
went into the campaign and did
effective work. After the election
Garfield sent for Conkling and ask
ed his advice about New York ap-
pointments. Garfield stated that
he would make no material changes;
but in a few days, without consult
ing with either Of the New York
Senators, he ent in the nomination
of Robertson, a bitter foe of Conk,
ling, for Collector at New York,
with several other New York
nominations pleasing to the lordly
Senator. Then the wHr began in
earnest; Conkling appealed to ''the
courtesy Of the Senate" which al
lows a Senator of O. State fol- which
nomination is made to hold it
over till the next session ; he sought
the aid Of the Democrats and of the
Republican caucus to d feat the
nomination. Garfield then with.
drew all the New York nominations
except that Of Robertson, and thus
made square issue with the Sena-
tor. The Republican Senators,
fearing to offend the President and
thus lose the patronage of their
States. sided with Garfield. The
Republican cancns said, let every
Senator vote according to his judg
ment. The Democrats, glad of the
opportunity to "cut the comb" Of
the strutting Senator, also sided
with the President. Conkling
found himself helpless, beaten. To
a man who had hitherto carried
things with a high hand it was a
severe blow, and a humiliating de
feat. Monday, the 10Th, be sent his
resignation as Senator to the Gov
ernor Of New York, and notified
the Vice President of his action.
Platt did likewise. He expects to
be re elected Immediately, and no
doubt will be. Had he not been
satisfied of it he would not have re
signed. His re election, be thinks,
will vindicate his course and rebuke
the President.
The Democrats are jubilant over
the turn affairs have taken; they
regard it as an irreparable breach
between the two wings of the New
York Republicans.

THE KINGS REVENGE.

IN the small town of Kustrin, not far
L from the capital, lived an old, disa.
bled soldier. He had served during the
Seven Years. War in Hunters Volun-
teer Battalion, and had lost leg in the
battle of Rosbach, for which he received
u badge OF honor, but nothing else; for,
as is well known, these volunteers were
allowed no pensions, but many of them
had received small office, and a few,
eminent places.
Our poor soldier, who lived in misera.
BILE quarters, had asked again and again
for an office, but in vain. His petition
remained unnoticed. He finally went
to Berlin himself, in order to beg good
Office in person, and had tried to lay his
petition before the king, but without
success.
His patience was completely exhaust
ed, and one morning there appeared on
the palace wall large placard, in which
the king and government were attacked
in the severest manner.
Naturally, this placard was promptly
removed by the police, and every means
taken to discover the guilty person.
AS, however, in spite of all their efforts,
they were unsuccessful in this, they
turned to the king, as last resort, with
the request that he should offer a reward
to the one who shsuld discover the
author of the libel. .
At first Frederick the Great, who was
always very Indifferent to such matters,
would hear nothing of it; but was
finally persuaded to offer reward of
thirty thalers for this purpose.
Meanwhile, the old soldier had return
ed to his home, and had heard nothing
of what had been going on in the capital
until some time afterwards there fell
into his hands an old newspaper con-
tanning the above mentioned advertise
ment. He kept this paper, put on his
old Hunters uniform, and Immediately
set out on foot for Berlin.
Having arrived there, he at once
sought an audience with the king,
which, under the pretext that he came
in regard to the libellous placard, and
would speak only with the king, was
actually granted him.
Frederick the Great sat In his council
chamber at his writing desk, and ap.
peared to be in not very good humor.

A Bonnet Museum.

CEVERAL years ago there died in
- western Massachusetts venerable
lady who for fifty years had been pos
sessed with the singular whim of pre-
serving and making kind of museum
of comparative fashions out of her old
bonnets. Beginning with the one she
had worn as blooming bride, she never
stopped till she had hung up at the end
of the line the last that had crowned her
snow-white head. Young people for
tunate enough to be admitted to the
huge attic on pegs around which was
suspended this chronological attestation
of the mutabiity of human taste and
caprice would go into fits of laugh
ter over the spectacle. How their grand
fathers could have ever married their
grandmothers, when the latter made
such frights of themselves, seemed past
comprehension. The startled imagina-
ton felt itself confronted with an ante
diluvian epoch, in which such terrific
megartheria and pterodactyles of bon
nets prevailed that the wonder was how
the most undaunted of men could have
ever dared TO venture marriage-pro-
posal to any face that would ensconce
itself under such nodding horrors. So
are the young in the pride of to-day ever
tempted to make sport of their grand
mothers; grandmothers, perhaps, who,
In the flush of their prime, could have
done an execution from out under their
sugar scoops with their spirited eyes and

Select Poetry.
JUST WHEN.

Just when the way is toughest, and the feet
are bruised and torn,
And the back oppressed with the burdens, so
long aud patiently borne,
We find that the path grows smoother, the
mountains and hills recede,
And there is rest and refreshment to meet this
hour of need.
Just when we feel the weakest in some dark
and desolate hour,
When the spirit of evil assails and tormeAts
with relentless power
Then suddenly strength is given and we who
are lying low
Have risen to fresher triumphs-have again
conquered the foe.
Though closer the shadows gather, and weary
appears the way
That leadeth through clouds and darkness,
where shineth the perfect day;
Though the vessel in which we're sailing bears
close to rocky coast,
We are sure of help when we need it-just
when We need it most.
And so we have but to trust to our Heavenly
Fathers care,
Feeling our way in the darkness, by the light
of faith and prayer
For we know tina, His heart is tended toward
all the children of men,
And our prayer He will surely answer, though
we know neither how nor when.
