AND wow IT 1s CLAIIED os Demo cratie elector has been chosen In In dbma. A Republican elector was in eligible, and another person was sub stituted for him; but in several Re publican counties the change was not made and so an elector was lost. This balances the account with California. TuE GnEENVILLE NeWs line reluct antly, come to the conclusion that Greeniville will not support a daily newspaper conducted as such papers shotild be.. It has abandoned its press reports and will hereafter fill the sphere of a local paper. This is a mat ter of regret. The News has shown commendable enterprise and push, and Its efforts should have been better rewarded. The difloulty Is that mail facilities have allowed such dailies as the New and Courier, the Atlanta Constitution and Northern papers to compete with it. All the smaller pa pers in the State feel the result of this competition. They can, however, give local news and mould and reflect local sentiment. In t his line thero~ Is abundant opportiity for the Green ville News to make its repution and its fortune. We tender it. our bestj wishes. A Constitutional Convention Not Needed. A reporter of the KCws and Couri er is engaged in interviewing (te men) bore of the Legislature as to wiiat. vill ensure good govertinent and a fair election. The replies are diverse as might be expected. A gwood many favor calling a conventioi to remodel the Constitution. Sueli ia step would be entirely itnecess-y if only the election laws are to be ameided; while, if the object be to give the whole instrument ita thoroughi over hanling, this is unot the timue foi such a task. A Coisiitutional Coin- I veition would 011ntail an xpene of' many thousand dollIa rs on i hI Si t, and its work wouid lie as diflit to foretell as the proverbiai will ofr wo man or the verdic of a p tit .iry.

Let us enumerate a fiew of the rocks uponi which I)emocrats miay split. First, the debt Question, now happily removed from ipolities; sec ondly, the school system ; thirdly, ju sixthly, appoint ments of certaitn county officers by the governior ; seventhly, special lagislation ; eighthly, territori al limits for counties-all these, and many more, in addition to the implor't ant matter of securing good govern mont and honiest elections. It is said to be difficult enough to hold( Demo crats together now, but once op)en till these issues simnultaneously for dis eussion, and P'andor'a's box ill be nowhere. Much better to let alone for the present whatever can 1)0 en dured, and devote at tentiotn solely to the pressing exigencies of the present. Were none but the ablest intellectsa of the State selected to the Convention it would be a question whether their theories would be0 cap~able (of any mforeC practical working than Locke's famous model Constitution for Seut h Carolina in colonial (lays.

The strange coninoidenco of dreamus It Baltimore, whereby a horrible grave robbery was exposed, has re vived considerable literature upon the subject of visions. Mr. U. A. Porter, in Belgravia, relates tio following historical tragedy and Its curious fore. knowledge: Ont the night of May 11, 1812, Mr. Williams, of Scorrior house, near lted ruth, ii Cornwall, woke his wife, and ln great agitation told her of a strange droam hei had Iusthad, le dreamt ho was in the lobby of the House of Commons, and saw a muan shoot with x pistol a gentleman who had Just en Lered the lobby, who was said to be the chancellor. Ilis wife todd him not lo trouble hinise!f about the dream, but to go to sleep agaIn. le followed ie'r advice, but presently woke her igain, saying he had dreant the same Iream. Yet a third time was the :lream repeated; after which lie was so :listurbed that., despite his Wife's on reatles that he would trouble hiinself tio more about the Iloute of Commons but try to slee) quietly, he got up ani iressed himseif. This was between o and two o'clock in the norning. At breakfast Mr. Williams could talk :f nothing but the dream; and early "le same morning lie Went to Fil nouth, where he told his dream to all als acquaintances whom he met. Next lay, Mr. Tucker, of Treniaton Castle, Icoompaniefd by hIs wife, a daughter >f Mr. Williams, went to Scorrier louse to visit. Mr. Williams told Mr. l'ucker (he circumistanees of1 his dream. SIr.

Mr. Tucker isked what sort of a 1an the chancel or Seemed to be, and Mr. WIlliaIiius ninutely described the man who was nuri'dered in his dream. Mr. Tucker replied: "Your description is not at ill that of the chancellor, but is very xactly that, of Mr. Plerceval, the Chan, xelor of exche<quer." lie ~asked if Ur. Williams had Over seen Mr. Per eval, and Mr. Williams replied that ic had noever seen him or had any com nuniction of' any sort with him; and 1urther, that lie id never been in the [louse of Commons in his life. At his momient. they heard tihe souniid of I horse galloping to the door of the ouse; immed iatelV after a son of Mir.

Wal lace, the United States Marshal for South Carolina, who was one of the original complainants, has since the test of last September acknowlcdged to the President his eorroi in supposing the origimal count to be fram Ilulent. Other collateral information has accu mulated to prove the correctness of the work of the enumerators, and all 1 these facts have been presented to the Riadical states non, but without any convincimr-effect, The reapportion- I mernt of the country devolves upon the comilig session ot Congress. llea co it is important that the Senators and t Congressmen from South Carolina f shal be fortifidd with all the facts and 1 results of tests made to prove the accuracy of the census made in June I last. It is said that the correctness of a the returns of other Southern States a will be challenged and the charge made In Congress that the whole cen sus in that section was stuffed to in crease the claim to more Representa tives from the South.

The show, which is one of the t, two parts of the ceremlolv, the other d being tlio evening banquet in Guild llall, was a grand success. The N weather was fine, and Immense Crowds e of people lined the entire route of (lie procession. One of the principal felt- tj tures was the great numbers of men o in armor, on horseback, and no acc- r dent occurred, as last year, to mar tle c el'ect. A new feature in tie Lord , Mayor's show was the parade of (lie a flreien with their steam fire enf1ines The engines yere numerous andfirst- i~ class, and their highly polished brass sun," and excite the applause of the sp~ectaitors.
