TE IANOINO OF McEvoy, in Aikor on Saturday, proves that in spite of the daring escapes of a malefactor and the persistent attempts of learned counsel to stave off the law, crime will be punished. Tins WILL BE a gala week in Charleston. Excursion trains arc running thither from all parts, while the city furnishes entertain ment in a military fair, a floral fair, a regatta, a Grand Lodge of Good Ternplars and last, but not least, a meeting of the Press Association. DEMOCnATIc UIuBS cannot exercise too great caution in admitting ne members, especially from the quondam adherents of Radicalism, Radicalism, as opposed to Demlocra cy, is as dead as a door nail, and colored ex-Radicals are perfectly willing to get into the Democratic clubs, if they can. Every precau tion n.ust be taken to secure the purity of the primary elections by admitting none but sincere Demo crats into the different clubs. A word to the wise is sufticient. TuE NEWBERRY 0erald holds that while Hampton should be renoui, nated, yet the entire State tickel should not be put in again merely becauso it is now in of1ice. The Ilerald thinks that every official should stand on his own merits, and if re-elected must be re-elected for this reason, and not because hc happens to be one of a bunch of officials now serving. This is very proper. While we have no objec 'tion to the renomination of any of those gentlemen, we think they should bo ran upon their merits. THE I4BERIA EXODUS Association were guilty of gross mismaunage mont in getting the ship Azor ready for sea. The firet day it was dis covered that there was an excess of forty-nine passengers and thes were removed ; yet a count the nexj day reached an excess of some sixty odd, who had stolen aboard. A number of these had bought ticketf and sent their baggage aboard, and very naturally were averse to having their household goods separa ted from them by thousands of miles It is to be hoped that the nexi embarkation will be more success ful. A coRRE.SPONDENT of the Columbim .Demiocrat ob.iects to the system o; making one office a stopping stone by pr'omuotion, to another. 1H< wishes to have Hampton electoi either as governor or United State Senator, hut not first as one ani then another; and thinks that the friends of Hon. W. D. Simpsor should eboose for him between th< lieutenant-governorship and the position of chiof:justice. On genmera principles the views thus sexpressedJ are very proper. No man should step into an office b~y promotion .But in the present anomalous con dition of affairs, we see no objectiot to re- electing Governor Hampton, and then electing him to the United States Senate. And, if it be knowr before hand that this wvill be the course pursued, the Con vention wi) nomninate) a liutenant-govyernlol with a special view to his becomin~ governor. As the gubernatorial election comecs iilest, there would be no reason for not. renominating the present executivo. People would not understand the nomination o0 anyone elsethan Hampton. But aftei the eleetion, if the Democracy shall have retaired entire control of th< State and overything is at peace, we( see no objectio.n to replacing Pat. -terson with Governor Hampiton, and letting the liPutenant.-governor. sue ceed. We hol, though, that be fore the nomination of lieutenant governor, it slionla be knowi whether Governor llampton wil: run for the Senate or not.

The recent municiprl election in Winnsboro is an evidence of tho importance of maintaining a united Democratic organization. When the contest was not political, and the Democrats wore divided, the Republicans displayed groat activity and were boastful of what they would do, not only in town, but in' the county in November. But as soon as the magic word of Domocra. cy reconciled conflicting elements and induced all parties to lay aside individual preferences or preju dices, for the good of the organiza tion, all opposition fell still--born. It was known that a united Democracy was invincible, and in consequence the last election was one of the quietest on record. To the two opposing candidates who withdrew from the canvass in the interest of harmony, much credit is due for this satisfactory result. NxFws oF 111). nY.

( iroaa Tlie News and ('orier. ] AIaN, April 19.-The curtain at last has fallen on the earthly career of Robert McEvoy, and his case is now before the Supreme Tribunal of the universo. McEvoy was hung to-day at toi minutea before 1 o'clouk, in one of the up-staeir cells in the j til, in the p)reseico of the shleriff anld assistantts, the prie'Jt andit and the ten spectators allowed by law, several of these being pmli" nent colored men. The fall was over six feet, and McEvoy, without the slightest struggle, died in fifteen minutes. In half an hour the body was taken down, placed in the coflin and given to his father, who has carried it in a wagon to Graniteville, where it will be in.. terred. The arrangements for the execu tion were very simple, the fatal rope being suspended from a rafter, and double trap doors cut in the floor and supported by bars extending from rolling beams in the cell below. The sheriff, by pulling a string above, turned the beam, and, the prop falling, the trap door opened a nd the body fell through to the lower cell. Father Heicdinkalp was with McEvoy from seven o'celock this morning, and came out with him from his cell to the one where the trap was fixod, and remained by his side to the last. I am informed that MeEvoy's mannor was calm and grave, and the only words he uttered wvere, "Let me straighten myself," when the pinions were placed uncomfor tably around him. About fifty per sons gathered outside the jail. Up to list evening MeEvoy lrish.ed the hope of a further res pite, and at his earnest request was allowed to come. up town and have his photograph taken. He told Mr. Howland, the snperin tenlden t of tih Graniteville Factory, that if he would get himi a respite he would tell who were the parties who shot him two years ago. He also wrote a long statement and sent it to Representative Sawyer this morning giving valuablo information as to what he knew of the naurder of young Sawyer in 1874, but he stated that he would give no names until he was cure it would be to his advw'. tage. After an interview with his ,oun sel this morning, in which he learned the utter failure of the ef forts in his behalf in Columbia, he saw that all groutads of iope were gone and then broke down an1 refused to see any one else but his spiritual adviser, and would not reveal what he professed to know. The priest expressed himself satiss fied of M0Evoy's readliness for death, anld believed he had fully repenCfted of his sins, However sad the mode it is a relief to the whole comunity, (and doubtless to the Governor and Judl(ges whose painful duty it was to ref'ee the petition for life ) t) have the long suspense termjiniated. 4FT ER 'JHE H1FON8HINER1S.

There is a curious story about some native wines which arc extensively advertised nowa" days, and have only recently been put upon i the market. Dr. Underhili, the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, died in 187r. Some of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allpw the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or qny more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to snarket, and sometimes left to decay upont the vines. It is only now that the other heirs have succeeded in arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Among these is a wine of the vintage of 1864, described as a "Sweet Union Port,' but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other European wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its puritv, age and mellowness are remarkable, and both physicians and wine fanciers have. a special interest in it as the oldest native wine now accessible in any con siderable quantity. The whole stockis In the hands of the well-known wholesale grocery house of the Thurbers.-N. Y. Tibune, Nov. 19, r/7. The above speaks for itself, but we would add that this is the pure juice of the grape, neither drugged, liquored nor watered; that it has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes it is unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptiv0 pamphlet, free of charge, on application, Respectfully, etc., H.
