The Augusta Chroriclo and Con

the papers from which it sprang.
A number of the Mackoyitos, like

between the Czar and the Sultan.
The Khedivo of Egypt furnishes

Parson Brownlow just before his
death announced a preference for

not muwh of a compliment to Gover

Mrs. Sallie Pelham McCaw has
iboon appointed postmistress of
.Greenville. Mrs. McCaw is the
daughter of the late C. P. Pelham,
.Esq., and widow of the late W. H.
McCaw, who at the time of his death
was the most brilliant journalist in
the State. The appointment is a
most admirable one.
The evil effects of the war in
Europe are already making them
selves felt hero. Provisions of all
kinds are higher, and flour has ad
vanced fifty per cent. in the North
ern markets. Things have come to
a pretty pass wvhen an American
citizen has to go without supper
* whenever the Czar sees fit to scnd a
'six-syllabled general to bombard an
'unpronounceable Turkish towni. As
it is a fact, we advise our readers to
;plant largely of provisions.
We Must Act as a Unit.
We regret that Senator Gary saw
fit in the Senate, a few days since, to
'oppose .the Admrinistration in re
~gard 'to the election oif chief justice.
Senator Gary stated strong personal
reasons why he should not support
Judge Willard, and of this we lmnvo
II ~ nothing to say. But at the precsen~t
time, as the Democratic p)arty' has
'not yet seated itself firmly in power,
it is too early for divisions to spring
uip among its component elements.
~The party must continue to act as it
'II' ihas acted since the August Conven,.
~tion, RBsa unit. The Senator's ex
- I 'pressed doteinmination that he will
under no circumstances support
~I Judge Willard, is an intimatki that
he -will notibe bound iby the will of
tLhe majority. The only safety of
the party'lies in caucus, and the
{ people who compose the party do.,
snand that for the pxresent their rep
resentatives shall lay aside aN per
ional feelings for the common good.
Judge Willard *as by no means
our thoiee for chief justico. But
reliance for sagacity seem to believe
pis e prom wore topuruon
agree with Senator Gary in the
gonoral proposition that one bruanch
of goverment should not dictate to
another. But this is ai special case,
and we feel assured that Governor
iampton would not havo indicated
a 'preference for Judge Willard were
it not thmathe deemslhis election abso..
.lutely necessary for the success of
4ho governor's policy. It is not
be the candidate of tho Democrats.
But we demand, for the people, that
the Democratic members of the
Legislature enter into caucus and
select a candidate, and then solidly
support the person indicated by tho
caucus.
Senator Gary is able to accomplish
much for the State. Wo trust that
he will reconsider his determination
and resolve to act with the Adiniiuis
tration and the majority of the
party.
