Tukhdav Morning. December 17, 1878.
TIIl'KJIAX.
Recently the most conspicuous candidate
fur the Presidential nomination at the
hands of the Democratic party has been
Senator Thurmanv "Whatever may be said
abeot his abilities as a poiiticau, there are
no two opinions ns regards Mr. Thnrman's
capacity as a Senator and as a constitu
tional lawyer. He having for years divided
with thi splendid Senator from Delaware,
Mr. Bayard, the leadership of the Demo
cratic "party An the Senate, it might
be deemed captious to intimate that he is
at all deficient in those qualities which
serve to constitute the great political lead
er. ' But a party leader must be judged by
his creative powers as well us by his man
ner of avaHing" himself oT "opportunities
presented to him by circumstances. He
mut make opportunities. Looked at from
this side", there is, perhaps we Fay it cau
tiously and wi.h sincere " respect for
the .Senator and for those who re
gard him as the greatest living American
politician- .and. statesman there is,, we
nuggestrgrouh(T for the doubt that Mr
Thurman is equal to a few other men in
the public eye. Comparison.-! are odious,
and we institute none. .(2ov. Hendricks,

HaiM tck. i.iv all men ol whom the Detiui
cratic party is jf ud. They are men very
nearly equal. io.je.ich. other in point
of . Hliaracter - anil . ability. . "Either.,
would make a President consider
ably above .the average. In tome
respects Mr. Thurman is greater than the
others. No man in the United States now
living lias more intellectual weight than
the Ohio Senator. He is undoubtedly a
r i i . i i it: . 1 l
man oi uouie ineniai pans ins kiiowi
' edge of law and ; government is profound.
His ability as a dialectician is equal to
that of any of his compeers, while in grav
ity he is the superior of most. In
debate he is always a Titan. The
part he took in the discussion over the
Blaine resolutions last week was a consmcu
ous one." In this debate he was more than
a match for the dextrous Senator from
Maine, his ponderous battle-axe parrying
the thrusts of Blaine's spear, and cleaving
itsway to and through the casque of the
doughty Radical chief. For his magnifi
cent defence of her, and his consistent con
stitutional course in the Senate, the South
.feels very grateful to Mr. Thurman, and if
he should receive the Democratic nomina
tion, would assist, with the greatest alac
rity, in making him President. After he
Bhould be elected, he, at least, would not
back down before mere "rumors of wars."
One thing in particular we like in Sena
tor Thurman his declining to be a candi
date for Governor of Ohio as a means of
advancing his prospects as a Presidential
candidate. It is true that the relinquish
ment of the bird of Senatorship in hand
for the sake of catching the two birds of the
Governorship and the Presidency in the
bush might seem like an unsafe piece of
strategy. But the Senator can almost surely
carry Ohio, himself being the candidate
It is given out that the Republicans,
in the event of Thurman's candidacy, had
jlejcided-ia. bring ,out Mr. John Sherman.
With Thurmau and Sherman in the field,
both looking with longing eyes at the
White House, the contest would be hot in
the Buckeye State. But we imagine Mr.
Thurman could beat Mr. Sherman as easily as
he could anybody else. It is interesting to
read his views in this matter as presented
through an interview in the Cincinnati En
quirer. "To every person," he says, "who
"has suggested to me that I should be our
"candidate for Governor I have replied
I could not consent. The more I
e reflected on the subject the better
'sMisfied I am that the interests of the
"party do not require me ;to make that
"race,and certainly my own well being re
quires that I should not undergo the
"trial and strain of mind and bodv that
"a, canvass for that office would necessitate.
"Besides, there are very worthy men of the
"party eitherpnc of whom would make a
"good candidate, and whose friends desire
"their nomination; and it would be an un
gracious thing in me to interfere with
"their : prospects. There are other and
"very strong reasons why I should not be
"the candidate, but it is unnecessary to
"state them.-. Indeed, it is with reluctance
"that I say anything upon the subject, for
"there is a seeming presumption in the de
clination of a thing that has not and may
"never be offered; but inasmuch as some of
"our papers have come out for my somina
"tion, and lani informed by a letter from"
"a friend at Columbus, received this morn-,
"ing, that it is rumored that they have"
"done so with my approbation, it is proper
lor we,!! m v .maw sucn is not me case,
"and thatmy mind is firmly made np not
"to run for the Governorship."
The correspondent asked him next if
Mill1 tin. v:
this decision was final and irrevocable.
Tharman's rejoinder was, "It is final. I
' cannot subject myself f to the strain of
4 such a canvas?. I have jast jjon throngb
"a canvass which few men of nry age would
"have attempted, and I do not feel that it
"would be jastice to my physical condition
'to so soon go through another equally as
"exciting. Again, how preposterous for
"me to say that I will accept a crown
which is not offered !' "
"But then. Judge, when it's within your
rrraen ' '
"I cannot and will1 nof wawnt to be-a
"candidate."
This is not written in the interest of
Mr. Thurman. The probabilities are that,
in common with many of our people. The
Slx may, later n. refer another. One
thing may be said, thengh: Mr. Thurman i
would make a great President. There
would be no vacillation of policy, no abuse'
of the civil service, no hypocrisy, 'and,
aboveall.no rewarding ef criminals with
places of trust and profit under the Govern
ment. ----

William and Jlary College.
Baltimore Sun . Special.
Washington, Dec. 13. The discussion
of the William and Mary College bill as
resumed in the House of Beprsehtatives
to-day. 'At the last session, when the bill
was last up, it was ordered that all debate
upon it should close in two hdu-rswhen the
House, as in committee of tle whole,
should again consider it. One hour was
consumed in ,the tf ist-us.sion to-day,. and :i
vote will there lore bcrcaclj'ed if the House
go?s into committee again next Friday.- If
not, its further consideration will be jost-
poned until the second r nday m January.
I he friends of the bill were, not parti
ly anxious to have it taken up tor
after it was taken up they were wi
have the vote taKcn at once,- no
what the result mieht lte. liut M
ger, of Michigan,-and Mr. Keifer, of Ohio,
wholiavcled the" opposrtibn" 'fo lh" l;
would not consent. They insisted uj)on
consuming the two hours for debate, and
going over the old, well-beaten track.' Mr.
Keifer read a 'speech which lie has had
prepared ever since last session, and, still
pursuing i lie -republican" line of
thought on this (jnestion, rung'llhe changes
with "disloyalty" of ' the professors and
students of William and Mary. The fact
that so many of the heroes ami patriots of
the revolution had graduated from her
halls was, in his opinion, entirely -eclipsed ,
by the participation of no many of her
students in the Confederate' cause.. .' While
some f the Republicans' oppose tjfe bill
because they are doubtful of the wisdom
of allowing such claims, the great majority
are actuated by other motives, awd want to
punish the college, and the. State ol Vir-
i '.gin ia for their "rebellion."
Some Democrats will oppose, the bill by
their votes. Mr. Eden is one of there.
He made a brief speech to-day, in which
he avowed his opposition, on the ground
that it would be opening the door to a
vasl number of similar claims. He fear's
that a bad precedent would be established.
Mr. Goode and other friends of the ; bill,
therefore, feel that they might as well dis
pose of it without discussion and el it out
of the way of other "business on the calen
dar. "If it fails this time, it will probably
stand a better chance in another Con-

IXTIMIDATl.VS DEMOCRATS.
- Pttetahnrtj 1 iidex.-Ajtprid.
The llev. Gilbert Williams,, pastor of a
colored churcli at Elko, South Carolina,
has been forced by his congregation to resign-
his pastorate, because he voted the
Democratic ticket. Cases of intimidation
of this kind do not figure in Mr. Blaine's
speech, and are not allowed for in the
lamentations of the Radical press, over the
suppression, of free speech and the freq bal
lot. And yet, the solidity of the ncgToes,
in times past, in support of the Radical
cause, was secured by just such violent
methods as were exercised towards the
Rev; Mr. Williams,and even by agencies
still more dark and bloody.
A CniLL FOR BLAINE.
Xew York Times.
From every point of view, no mistake
can be more serious than an attempt to le
gislate on the assumption that the condi
tion 6f affairs revealed at the" South can'
be, easily corrected, and that either the
country or the' Republican party is ready
for any remedial measure that may be
proposed.: Let there be an indication of
an eager desire to nse for partisan pur
poses at the North the oppression, terror
ism and fraud with which the Southern
Democrats are chargeable; and the Repub
lican party will lose support with which it.
cannot well afford to dispense.
SENATOR BAYARD'S POSITION OX THE ELEC
TORAL' BILL.
Baltimore Evening, Bulhtin.
While no one should for a moment coun
tenance the adoptiou of a law which would
conflict with any provision of the Constitu
tion, there ean be no doubt that the whole
nation" will experience a sense of profound
relief at almost any satisfactory settlement
of the difficulty.. In boldly, advocating a
measure. which was proposed by a Repub
lica, "because he thought it a good one'.
Senator Bayard gave still another proof of
the broad and comprehensive stateshianL
ship which has always" marked his conduct
n trying occasions. The Dill has yet to
pass the ordeal of a large fiemocrat ic nu
jority in the House, and it ' remains to be
seen whether Senator Bayard's view will
meet with the approval o? his party asso
ciates there.
New Tl&ing la Photographing.
Epglish photographers avoid the strain
on the sitters eye?, which nsually result
in a ghastly stare, by having & clock-face
as the point to which they are directed, the
eyes being allowed to travel slowly from
the figure XII, all around. The rotatory
movement of the eyeball in adapting it
self, step by step, to the figures upon so
small a circle at such a distance is so ex
cessively fine as to ; cause' no interference
with the photographic process, 'The eyes.
;are excelleHtly vell.defiaed,, even to the

iority over those previously taken ia the
manner in vfhich the details of the eyes are
reproduced. The sitters have expressed
themselves as not having had any strain
upon their eyes.

Sheridan Brutality.
,.... ..
flrr Busch, in his interesting book on j
the life and character of Prince Bismarck, !
"says Vhat General Phillip H. Sheridan, j
wben dining one day with the Prince, re- j
marked that the civil population in an ea- J.. .
emy's country had no right to expect any
clemency from an invading army, and that, j
for his 'VarCTie' ""would leave themnothing t
.but their eyes, "with which they might weep
over the miseries of war." -The papers aie
naturally enough rebuking the brutality of
this utterance of Sheridan's, . but wherein
does the spirit of it essentially differ from
that of the lladkal party generally . to

TO THE DEMH-'IiA TIC.COXSFJi VA
TIVE' PARTY OF SOUTH CARO
LINA. The State Executive Committee congratu
lates the Democratic-Conservative party ot
North Carolina upou the result of the recent
Congressional elections at the North. These
elections clearly indicate three things which
are of consequence to us : First,! that the peo
ple of this country are dissatisfied with the
Republican party and are unwilling for the
Republican leaders to afflict us longer with
their ruinous measures and fraudulent prae
t ces. Second, that the Nationals do not meet
with popular favor, and, as a separate ortruni
zation, have utterly laiied to iiu;.res them
selves upon the country ; and lastly, thut the
star of the Democratic party is still in the
ascendant, and the people are looking to tlm;
party as the njly one caable oi restoring
pro.--pcri'y to the country, and able to admiu
isHrthe government on t'tiose Constitutional
and just principles, which are essential alike
to the happiness of our citizens and to the
perpetuity of our institutions. Thus in the
elections held in eighi btates the Republicans
have lost twelve members of Congress; the
Nationals have elected four: and the Demo
crats have elected twenty-three, aud have
gained seven.
These facts demonstrate that the people in
tend to invest the Democratic party with the
full control of the National Government. The
Senate of the next Congress will be Democratic
by ' a considerable majorit3, and it is only
necessary for the Democrats of the South to
remain steadfast in their allegiance to our or
gahization, and our triumph will be complete.
It is fbr us to determine whether the banner
on which are inscribed Reconciliation, Home
Rule and Financial Reform, shall trail in the
dust, or shxll be borne on to victory. .
Every' consideration of interest, ot policy
and of patriotism then urges us to prepare
imuiesiately (or the approaching' .. political
struggle.
Be assured, fellow-citizens, that without
preparation, it will be impossible to achieve
success.
Let us ; ot by our apathy, cur Juke warin
ness aud indifference postpone the accession
to power of that party which alone has been
able to check Republican corruption aud to
arrest the progress of oer government towards
a centralized despotism.
Let us be steadfast in our devotion to prin
ciple, true to our organization and endeavor
by every means to discountenance those inde
pendents and disorganizers who oppose our
worthy standard-bearers freely and fairly
chosen by the Democratic party in Convention
assembled. '
In particular do we desire to repeat what
we have so often urged the necessity of
thorough local organization. It is the town
ship committees who are charged with the
most important of all party duties. To them
is committed the duty of supervising the
election, and of devising means to bring out
every Democratic voter to the polls. Tbey
ought to meet frequently and advise and take
counsel together h,ow best to promote the for
tunes of that party, on whose success depends
so largely the prosperity of themselves aud of
their posterity. In every township, in every
neighborhood, there ought to be appointed a
committee of active, efficient, and prudent
party menK who will undertake to see that
every Democrat in the precinct comes to the
polls and casts his ballot for our noinlneee.
We therefore urge this upon the township
committees; and if in any township it is ne
glected, we appeal to our Democratic friends
there to send their conveyances for all their
neighbors who otherwise might not attend the
polls.
Let it be clearly understood in every -locality
that he who fails to vote for our liominee,
gives half a vote to the Republican party, and
that the Conservative who casts his vote for
an independent is taking the surest means to
break up and destroy the only party which
can give relief to our afflicted country. We
warn our fellow-citizens that great ends can
not be accomplished except at the eostofsome
incocveuieucc, and olten through the sacrifice
of our personal preferences ; and we appeal
to every man who has the good of the people
at heart to give a portion of one day to his
country, and subordinating his individual
preferences, cast his ballot for the nominee of
the Conservative part".

(Petersburg Index &, Appeal.)
TheSor-TH-ATLAXlio has this merit over
t any of its predecessors in the same arena, that
its content are solid, though not heavy, and
j taat no room appears to have been intended in

j character. While it continues to adhere to
. this rule, ft will have every claim on Southern
I atFl general support, and we sincerely trust
; it will receive it.
