TO THE VOTERS
OK THE
33d Senatorial District.
Believing that if the Constitutional Con
vention is held, many important changes in
the organic law can be made which will bene
fit us, and particularly, financially. I am a
candidate for delegate from this District, on
the following ideas :
Ist. There are too many officers in the
State and their salaries arc too large. Their
number and the amounts paid them should
each be reduced ; and it can be done without
injuring the State service.
2nd. The Legislature should not meet
oftener than once in two years—and the au
thority to legislate should be restricted to
general and public laws.
3rd, The Judges of the Superior Courts
and Solicitors’ General ought to be appoint
ed or recommended by the Judges of the
Supreme Court and elected by the Legisla
ture. The Notaries Public ought either to
be elected by the people or appointed by th?
Judges of the Superior Courts on proper
recommendation. The term of office of
Judges of the Superior Courts should not
exceed four years.
4th. The Homestead provisions should be
reasonable; should be based, as to amount,
on the property owned by the citizen, and
not on the amount of his debts. The pro
perty in the Homestead should vest in the
family absolutely and inalienably; it should
remain a permanent fixed home for them and
their children after them ; and it should be
proportioned according to the members in,
or the size of the family.
sth. The Public School fund ought to be
applied to the payment of tuition instead of
the payment of large salaries and per diem
of officers.
Pledging you that if elected, I will favor
these changes, I ask your support.
Your obedient servant.
Will. I. Pike.
Jefferson. May 17th, 1877.
The Turko-Russian War.
The Russians, as most of our readers know,
are advancing on Turkey by two grand col
umns ; one around the eastern end of the
Black Sea. through Circassia, against Asiatic
Turkey; the other down the western end of
the Black Sea. through Roumania, a pro
vince of Turkey. The latter column is try
ing to force its way across the Danube riv
er through European Turkey and on to Con
stantinople. The former column in Asia, is
advancing on Kars, near which place the
Turks were encountered about the 30t,h nit.,
and a heavy battle ensued in which the Turks
were driven back with a heavy loss. Since
that time the Russians seem to have fallen
back, or have been delayed, on account of dis
affection of the Circassians, and the difficulty
of getting supplies throgh a long line of com
munication. Very recent telegrams bring us
the news that this column advanced on Ba
ton m, where the Turks were well fortified in
a strong position. After six or eight hours
of desperate fighting, the Russians were dri
ven back with a heavy loss, estimated at 4000
killed, wounded and prisoners. This success
of the Turks was mainly due to the Bashi-
Bazourks who rushed upon their enemies
with the most reckless daring.
On the Danube, the Russians are massing
their heaviest columns, and it is supposed by
this time thev have crossed the river, and
have met the Turks who. from the southern
banks, have been watching their movements.
No general engagement has yet taken place
in this department, but artillery duels have
occurred daily for some time past. On the
10th inst... a very large Turkish monitor was
sunk near Ihrail. carrying down more than
two hundred of the crew and soldiers and leav
ing only one survivor to tell the tale, who
was picked up by a Turkish boat. About
the same time heavy cannonading was kept
up between Kalafat in Roumania and Widin,
; south of the Danube. It is reported that the
j Turkish batteries in the latter place were si
lenced, and the town set on fire.
The latest telegrams state that the Rus
sians are massing a Giurgevo and it is sup
posed that, the first attempt to cross will be
made at that point; but it is probable that
passage at several other places will be made
simultaneously. They hope by rapid move
ment of heavy columns to gain the passes
through the Balkan mountains, and. thereby,
cut off the Turks from their northern provin
ces. Roumania seems to be siding with Rus
sia. and under encouragement from the latter,
she will probably declare herself independent
of Turkey. It was reported that England
and Austria had protested against this pro
ceeding, but this is contradicted by later
news, and the Western Powers, as is now
indicated, will leave Russia and Turkey to
fiiiht it out alone. If so, we hope the war
will be of short duration. Already there are
rumors of an armistice. Both these Powers
will soon exhaust their supplies, if they get
no aid elsewhere, for even now it is reported
that provisions are scarce, an 1 it is difficult
for them to subsist their armies. We hope
peace may soon return and catch under a
crushing dead-fall those Yankee speculators,
who have for months been praying for this
war. that they might grow fat on the blood of
their fellow men. Such ghouls and jackals
would gladly see the world drenched in blood,
if they could gratify their hungry greed for
gold.
Later news of the 16th inst., brings the in
telligence that 300 Turks, with Hassan Bey,
went down with the monitor sunk near Ihrail;
and that it was Tortukai, and not Widin,
which was set on fire by Russian batteries,
and twice raised the white flag. The Rus
sians tried to cross at Reni. but their bridge
was broken and they driven back.
Tiie Latest.— Greek insurgents have en
gaged the Turkish troops, and the papers of
Athens all demand war. The Roumanians
have captured a Turkish gunboat on the Dan
ube ; and the Sultan orders his army, if com
pelled to fali back, to burn all towns and sup
plies which may fall into the hands of the
enemy.
A dispatch from Salt Lake says that the
Mormons are determined to resist attempt to

Firemen from various cities in this-State and
S. C.. made their grand display on Tuesday.
Bth inst.; their exercises, together with the
good music, seemed to have been more at
tractive than the convention. At the close
of the nay, when the exercises were over and
night came on, the firemen marched,through
the streets, shouting over their success, and
continued their hurrahing, singing, speech
making and regular mellow style of doing till
a late hour. The attendant stockholders and
families, firemen and others, filled the hotels,
and many visitors had to hunt lodging in
private houses.
At this season of the year, Augusta is in
deed beautiful. The flower gardens are in
full bloom ; the shrubbery green, and the
shade trees at their best: and add to all of
this, the beauty and magnificence of Green
street, and you almost have a “ Paradise.”
This street has a double row of shade trees
extending from one end to the other, which
almost intercept the sun’s ra}'s; and being
of considerable width, makes it one of the
most beautiful thoroughfares, profuihlv, in
the South. On the wav to the “ sand-hills”
the eye still meets beauty in the sight of
pleasant cottages, shady groves, thrifty fields
of corn and oats, fine roads and the attrac
tions upon the Canal. This part of the city
is the place for pleasure-rides on the street
cars and in private conveyances.
Notwithstanding the beauties and attrac
tions of Augusta and surroundings, which
are displayed on every hand, many of the
visitors and inhabitants were not satisfied,
and gathered at the Union depot at an early
hour on the evening of the 9th, for the pur
pose of boarding an
EXCURSION TRAIN FOR CHARLESTON.
After packing away about eight hundred
people in coaches and freight boxes, by plac
ing from two to five on a seat; putting some
behind the doors, some on the stoves, some
on the platform, some on car tops, some in
the aisles, and in fact any where aboard the
train where standing room could be found,
the train moved off at 8 p. m., leaving many
at the depot who could get neither standing,
lying, or sitting position on the cars. Tra
veling all night—stopping a few times for
wood and water—we arrived in the- ” buzzard
city” at sun-rise. Extricating ourselves from
the cars aforesaid, getting aboard a steamer
and crossing the Ashley river, we marched
up the plank road into the city like a disor
ganized brigade of soldiers turned loose in an
enemy’s camp to plunder. Charleston is a
well laid-ont city, with many fine buildings.
Many of the smaller residences are two sto
ries high beside a basement. Houses are
built thus in this place. I presume, upon the
idea that the higher the people sleep from the
ground the healthier they are. The Custom
house will soon be completed. It has been
in course of erection for 20 or 25 years, ex
cept during the war. The down-town Mar
ket is said to be one of the finest in the Uni
ted States. Here can be seen all kinds of
meats, fish, vegetables, blackberries, &c.
Here also, you see numbers of tame buzzards
acting as street scavengers. The Charleston
hotel is one of the finest buildings in the city.
Geo. W. Williams is said to be the richest
man in Charleston ; his stores are well filled,
and he is erecting a SIOO,OOO residence in
the citv.
At 10 o’clock, a. m., most of the “excur
sionists” assembled at the harbor, eastern
side of the city, for the purpose of crossing,
by steamer, over Cooper river, to Sullivan’s
Island—distant 6 miles ; round trip, 25 cts.
This island extends up and down the Atlan
tic coast for a distance of three miles, and is
pretty much covered with cottages used as
summer resorts for the people of Charleston.
They move over during this and the next
month, t,o the number of about three thou
sand. Oil this island is the grave of Osceola,
the Indian chief who never smiled after his
capture, and who died of a broken heart; here
also, is Fort Moultrie, with its large guns,
and off at a short distance in the Atlantic,
Fort Sumter stands in full view. Most of
our party amused themselves in gathering
shells from the sea shore; the waves were
rolling briskly and frequently we would have
to run back out of their way.
I was informed by Mr. R. Martin, a whole
sale and retail dealer in shoes, hats, &c., that
the city government was composed of about
half Radicals and half Democrats, but in the
Fall elections the people of Charleston are
confident of carrying the city by a handsome
majority in favor of good government. I
also learned that the colored people are gen
erally demoralized and disgusted with Car
pet-baggers and Radical thieves. One color
ed ihan asked me what was being done about
the Freedmans’ Bank, in upper Georgia.
Charleston seems to be a cheap retail mar
ket. and I suppose it is a good market for
buying by wholesale. The dull season is not
so tedious here as in other cities, being en
livened by a large lumber and rice trade;
while the trade in Fhosphate is said to reach
four or five million dollars. The population
is 55.000.
Getting aboard our uncomfortable train at
7 p. m., on 10th, and traveling another night,
we arrived in Augusta in time for the up
train on the Georgia railroad. Upon the
whole, our trip was instructive, but notoneof
pleasura. Cost for round trip, $2.25 from
Augusta. The excursion will long be remem
bered by those who participated.

Weights and Measures.
Much cause for complaint is said to exist
in this city on account of short weights and
measures and foul scales. Much of this is
due, no doubt, to carelessness and ignorance
on the part of vendors in not having their
weights and measures tested and adjusted by
the lawful standard, rather than any wilful
intention to defraud.— At. Const.
This is an important matter, and should
not fail of attention from these who buy and
sell. A great many people may not be aware
that an account, founded on weights and
measures not regulated “according to law,”
cannot be collected.
“ Do you think your father is going to move
out soon ?” inquired the owner of a rented
house of the son of his tenant. “ Reckon so,”
was the reply; “we've begun using the win
der frames for firewood.”
How to Treat the President.
Let. the South treat the President justly
and fairly ; support him when right, oppose
him when wrong,— Augusta Chronicle.
That is our platform ; and as he is wrong
every minute that through fraud he holds the
office of President, the opposition to him must
he constant and uncompromising. Such an
example must be made of him that nobody
will ever again dare to repeat the frauds
through which he was ohrried into power.—
N. Y. Sun.
According to this reasoning, the Democracy
of the country must make asses of them
selves by opposing the President whether he
does right or wrong. Because we believe
that his title to the Presidency i9 tainted by
fraud, though fraud in which it has not been
shown that he had any part, we must abuse
him when he releases South Carolina from
the rule of corruption sustained by the bayo
net, and restores local self-government to
Louisiana. The Sun is too rabid to be rea
sonable. When the President does right the
Democrats should applaud him; when the
President does wrong the Democracy should
oppose him. Tnis is right, as well as politic.
