Should any now and novel st3'le make its appearance in New York, they have arrangements by which to get it immediate*, hence there is no necessity for the Ladies of Abbeville to pay city prices when the}- can do better at home. Mrs. Sap-ard has had experience, both in Europe and America, and, we think, has the confidence of every Lady of taste in Abbeville. She. is assisted by Mrs. Jno. A.

tors to uo lime tlie uemocrats would t do?not give a .Republican a fair t showing?but to give each! of tho eon- > testants a chance. He knew that if 1 this was a contest between Radicals and Democrats, and this were a Democratic Senate, the senators would not I J give Guffin time to say "God have t t mercy on my soul," before they would 1 chuck him out of the window; and e that is the way some of the Republi' cans want to do with their opponent's ] ' representative, because they (the i Radicals) are now in power. This is i ' not tho right way?this is not justice 1 ! ?but it does not seem that there will i ever be justice in South Carolina when ] ' it C:)ine^ to a question of politics or j color. If a man says he is a Demo- ( i crat, that party goes for him; aud if i ho Bays he is a Republican, the Re- c j publicans go for him, right or wrong, i . There never was a fait election held t

5 tlio men who wore intimidated, as is t claimed, would havo voted for Guffin. c * If the election was unfair at any poll, o \ throw the vote at out. It is claimed 3 that the election at Calhoun's Mills t was unfair; if so, throw it out. Then ; tho election is a tic?each candidate - has 1403 votes. The Senate cannot admit both?I won't vote to admit Guffin, 'bore God I won't; but can I consistently vote for Mr. Cothran? It t | appoars that Guffin put his official sig- i naturo to the report that Colonel Coth- ] 1 ran got a majority of votes, and then t * sent a protest saying that it was not * so. Because he made a fool of himself ^ J in this business, he asks us to make j - fools of jOurselvea.
