J Carolina Watchman. THURSDAY, FEB. 3, " Bad Roads. The present winter Jias fceen exceptionally luird on the public foada leading into town, all of which are in an almost juipasMh ditiou. U jaaj not be apy better next -winter, nor fhe winter following that.' The evil is a prions one, both to the interest of those jvho use the roads and iImmc i.n any way dependent on their use. , It affects the business interestso.f the .town geuerall j, fqi diminishing tjie amount of trad and flfudering progress in many ways. The population and weaUh yf thfi ponnty is increasing and in that proportion tftfJ Jie jCessity for good roads becomes more nr .gent. Common dirt roads, isnch a we hare, cannot stand chi strain, of hard 'winters like this, and the growiug travel .npon them, especially near town and we j-esnctfullj submit to the County coin niissioners to take this subject under con- fjuleration with reference to devising some improvement likely to meet the wanrsef the public. There are; several places jvhich demand either a Jthorongh McAd nmiaMl irunrorement or a nlank road. - - , . t .

Ihe law ught to be changed so that tire voice of the people would prevail iu the choice of a President. The presoMt inacniucry should be abolished, and we are glad to see that Mr. Wallaces Pennsylvania Democrat, has prepared a bill to this end, and that Congress will be called on to ponsider it. We want no more minority Presidents, and no more disputes in Con gress as to how the.vote ftho.uld.be count-, ed. and no more errand (niscall vV commis- f . .

The Electoral Count; - A Democratic Caucui BttultilUw it Shall ' he Made. : ' 1 -1 ; AVAsnixGTOJf, Jan. 3L Tlie Democrat ic Senators held a caucus this afternoon for the purpose of determining what course should be pursued in - regard to making arrangement for the count of the electoral votes next week. After some discussion, it was unanimously-decided : First. That the dominant majority in the Senate will not consent to the estab lishment of the precedent proposed by the Ingall's resolution or any I similar regulations deviating from the long es tablished practice of counting the electo ral votes iu joint convention of, the two branches of Congress in the hall of the House of Representatives. Second. That the resolution now on the table of the Senate, declaring that the Vice-President 1ms no constitutional authority to count the electoral votes should be called np at an early day (probably to-morrow) aud passed to a passage at a continuous- seasiou, ruuniug through the night if necessary. Thirdly. That n select committee on the subject ahull report and a majority iu the Senate pass, as soon as practicable, as a substitute for the Iugalls resolution, a-concHrrent resolution providing in sub-r stance that the two houses shall assem ble iu the Hall of the House of Represen tatives, ou. tlie IHh proximo: tftat the! list of electoral votes shall be made by two or more tenet's on the part of the House and. one or more ou the part of the Senate; that the totals for each presi dential and vice-presidential candidate, excepting the votes cast for the State of Georgia, seven days after the time pre scribed by the federal law, shall be hand ed to the presideut of the Senate, and that he, its presiding officer of the joint convention, shall announce the results iu the same way in which the results were announced umler similar ei renin stances iu 1819, 1857 and 1801), when the electo ral votes of Missouri, Wisconsin and Michigan, were found to have leeii cast on days other than those fixed by the general law , that the announcement, ac cording to this proposed arrangement, would be a hypothetical declaration as to what would be the total for each candi date if the votes of Georgia be counted, and if the votes of Georgia be not counted ; hut it is to be provided iu the concurrent resolution that this hypothetical declara tion shall 1; s implemented by an an nouncement by the presiding officer that in any eveut Garfield aud Arthur have received a constitutional majoiity of all electoral votes and are duly elected presi dent and vice-president. Iarts Letter. (Regular Correcpondence.) Pauls, France, Jan. 18th, 1881. M. Paul de Casagnac, in. tho coliinms of the Pays, draws attention to the grow ing in fine nee of politics on promotion and appointments, and in strong terms cen sures a system which it cannot lie denied is iK'ginuing to show itself to a consider able extent iu the army and to a lesse. degree iu the navy of Fiance. M. de Cas sagnac remarks: "The disorganization is Incoming more and more appuling, and without mentioning the De Cissey trial we have In-fore mir eyes other ex amples which accumulate aud which are precipitating the dec'adeuceof the French arinv. A tew deputies have ouestioned the Minister of War as to tho command of division given to General de Miribel, who is reproached with having been con nected with the Ministry, of May 16th. General de Miriln l is known trHe one ol the most distinguished aud brilliant gen erals iu the French army. But these qualities are henceforth to have no value, and for the future neither tactics nor strategy, but politics will be demanded of those by whom our soldiers are com manded. If Turenne, Conde, Luxem burg, or Bonaparte were to return and offer their swords to France they would be disdainfully rejected because these reactionaries would refuse to wear the Phrygian cap or tho Carmagnole stars. Again, there is Admiral Clone, whose dismissal is asked for by Monsieur La vieille. The Republican deputies Itesiege the Ministries of Marine aud -of War; they are masters, they command, they, bear the burden of their hat reds and ven gence. and blow up a general or an admi ral with as great ease as a simple yarJe- cJianipetre, or a let t er-ca rrier. M . de M ar- timprey is suspected of not being a fa nut i cal admirer of the Republic, and his dis missal is asked for. Thus it is that ran corous, passionate, iuexhonorable politics penetrate into the ranks of our soldier. to sow disunion, discord and distrust. In a- short time the army will no louder be long to France, it will lie the army of a victorious coterie, of a triumphant faction, the army of a few and not of all. And how is such an army to tight, and for what country can you expect it to die ! What will happen when it is known that the blood shed is not for France but only for tire Republic ? Iu 1870, perhaps we were wanting in clever generals, and in engines of war, but at least we had sol diers who fought marvellously well. As for tho soldiers, how are they to be taught their duty when their respect for most of their chiefs has been destroyed, aud when in their eyes France has been replaced by the Republic f" Allowing for the Anti Republicanism of the writer's sentiment there is, without doubt, much tliatis true in M. de Casaagnac's somewhat passion ate language.
