BONHAM. of Abbeville. FRAILTY OF POLITICAL PROMISES. Congressman C. C. B. Walker, Chairman of the New York Democratic State Committee, is a wag and natural humorist. He tells the following story about one of his friends to illustrate the frailty of political promises. Its application to primary campaigns will doubtless be duly appreciated by many defeated candidates: "It seems that the candidate had never had any experience in politics, and when he began his canvass for this office he went about among his neighbors soliciting their support. Whenever he was promised a voter's aid he promptly put the name down in a canvassing book. When the ballots were counted he received just two votes, bis own and his son's. In bis book 1,200 names were recorded. The politicians chaffed him about this / collection of names, when the old fellow turned on them and replied: T would not let that book go for all the money in the United Stat98. It is a record of all the liars in this town. I shall pass it in to St. Peter on my way into heaven and let him use it as a check book to stop the sinners from passing through the gates.'* .EDITOBIAL NOTES. There is nothing that will take the lining oat of a man quicker than an earthquake. There seems to be gronnds to fear that the labor organizations in sev eral parts of the country have only escaped from the grasp of the capitalists to be grasped by the petty politicians. It is said that 52 per cent, of the army and navy pensioners are of foreign birth. That goes to indicate with what material the South was overpowered. The late venerable Col. Chas. G. Green, who for forty years was the editor of the Boston Post, attributed his good health and long life to the clear conscience that'good Democrats ? always carry. > C -IU on^West Virginia this year, and the"" prospects are that the Democrats will carry it by a largely increased majority. The turning of the "rascals" out of the small postoffices has about broken up the grand old party in that State. The American working women of the North get DO cents per dozen, or less than 8 cents each, for makiDg gentlemen's shirts, and, speaking of cheap foreign labor, the heathen Chinee gets 12i cents each for lanndrvmff them. -??o Wiggins had to leave Ottawa on the day of his earthquake to escape the jeers of the people. He may yet have to hod a refuge in a dime museum along with a fraudulent Circassian girl or a bogus king of the Cannibal Islands. G|neral Guitar is running for Congress in Missouri, Fiddler Taylors are after the Governor's chair in Tennessee. We hope General Drum will step forward, if he wants anything, and let us have concert of action. In a grain field near Merced, Cal., the reaper driving wheel struck a rock producing sparks which set fire to the standing grain, and about 250 oi wheat and 550 of hay were burned. So says a California paper, but we will bet $2.50 its a lie. The mobbing of the Prohibitionists - ?v. in a small town in Pennsylvania, the other day, seema to have given fresh impulse to the prohibition cause in that State. "The blood of the mar tyrs is the seed of the church." The Minnesota Republicans are nol to be expelled from the protection party, it seems, because they are free traders. The Republicans will receive these weak brethren in the faith, but not to doubtful disputations. Prof. Eaton agrees with Dr. Ham raond that the comiog man will be bald-headed, but he goes a step further and says that he will also be de void ot natural teeth. If these grea' scientists are correct in their views there is going to be a prosperous fu tore for the wig-makers and dentists It would not b6 a matter of sur prise if, after the $1 and $2 silve: certificates get fairly into circulation there should be a general demam for still smaller certificates to corre epond with the old fractional cur reney. A limited issue of 10 cent 25 cent and 50 cent silver certificate would supply a want to those wb< desire to make small remittances b fniii. WASHINGTON LSTT2E. [From Our Regular Correspondent. 1 October 1st, 188G. During the past week more than five hundred persons have been dis, charged from Government service in Washington, Of these discharged, three hundred and forty must be credited to the Government PrriDting Office and two hundred to the Washington Navy Yard. I say credited; for forty thousand dollars per month will be saved in the Government pay rolls and the work in the Government Printing Office will go on as well as before. At the Navy Yard nothing will bo lost for the discharges there were made with the intention of converting a useless naval station into a heavy ordnance foundry. It is the determination of the present administration, with the help of Congress, to improve the naval strength of the United States. Notwithstanding the fact that nearly one hundred millions of dollars were expended duriog the four previous Republican administrations ostensibly for the Navy, the Naval force of this country is inferior to that of sixteen European, two Asiatic, and three South American countries;?in other words we are the weakest naval power. When the vessels already authorized, contracted for or commenced are completed, say four years hence, the United States will, in naval power, outrank Brazil, Chili, Argentine, China, Japan, Greece, Norway, Portugal and Sweden; be on a par with Turkey, Spain, Holland aod Denmark, and be surpassed by Eogland France, Germany, Austria, Italy an Russia alone. Secretary Manning has returned to the city and will resume the Treasury portfolio. He will however, be careful to avoid that close application to the details of his oflice and the harrassiDg interviews with callers which brought him so near death's door a few months ago. The able Assistant Secretaries Fairchild and Thompson will relieve him of moch labor and care. It is reported that Assistant Secretary Thompson has raatnred a plan for the reorganization of the Treasury Department. The policy adopted by-Secretary Manning has been pnrsoed by Secretary Fairchifd, namely; of patting the redemption of Government bonds to the doable ase of reducing the national debt and also regulating the money market. Within the last few weeks the rate for short loanB has changed from two to three per cent to three timeR those nnmbers. Every lender knows that the Federal Depositories stand open for the redemption of bonds whenever and by whomsoever they may be presnted, so by that means millions of dollars may be released and circulate tbroogh the varit-ns channels of trade. Ia anticipation of the building of the Natiop^lJuihease-i?it&tjyft*jalMB --etrve-rree'n prepared to^^-a adp' termination of its position within the site fixed by Congress, care being taken to keep inportant lines of view open to present both the Library and Capitol to advantage, secure convenient approaches and connections by walks and wbeelways, and while enlarging the Capitol grounds to include the Library, to preserve, as far as practicable, all the advantages presented. The soldiers seem to thrive under Cleveland's administration. The Civil Service Commission, a majority of whom are Democrats, have modi fied their rales so" as to give precedence to Union veterans in the matter of appointments. This action was taken the very day that John Sherman, in a partisan stomp speech, i was denouncing the Administration for taming its back on the old I soldiers. The colored people's exhibition j was formally opened yesterday at I fonr o clock. To-day the various ! committees in charge were busily j engaged receiving exhibits, which are comiDg in very rapidly. There was a fair attendance at the hall, a large pfoportion of the visitors being white people, who were surprised and . interested in the exhibits of the skill and genius of the colored people. A large attendance is expected to-Digbt and preparations have been made to accommodate the visitors. 1 Although the fair is a creditable 1 success, it must not be understood 1 that this is by any means the first of 1 its kind, nor the greatest, as some ; papers have presented. In North i Carolina there is annually held a . colored peoples's fair, which is ( | wonderful in the variety and ex; j cellence of its exhibits and also in the . j success that attends it. "People ) | should remember," said Mr Lamar, . j "that one of the best and most successful departments of the New Orleans Exposition was that devoted " j to the colored people. It was * ' " - r? i_? Ti ' : presided over ny ex-oenaior uruue, " a id was a revelation to those who 1 were fortunate enough to see it. ^ ; There were exhibits from every State > i and Territory, and they would have - | done honor to the white people of ! those States and Territories. It was j a great disillusion to . people who r ; think that the colored people are not progressive." D. Presideut Cloveland has been se verely criticised for not taking official notice of the earthquake misforluues s ' of Charleston. It is also stated that 3 j neither Senators Hampton or Butler y havo written expressions of sympathy or sent contributions. i . A I j Eeply to Hen. S. P. Wingard, Chairman, &c. [For the Lexington Dispatch. Willingly would I refrain from making aDy more "great complaint" and "grave insinuation" against the ; Executive Committee, but the neces! sity is upon me, prompted thereunto j by a sense of duty I canuot do otherj wise. For the public weal I write, j and not to gratify personal feeling or i a spirit of fault-finding. And whilst I disclaim any intention of casting unjust reflections upon your honorable body or any member of it, never j theless, what I have written, I have written; and whatever I may feal to be my daty to write, I shall write. I am not to be deterred by your insinuation that I am a fault-finder. In my humble opinion the Executive Committee have erred, and erred egreqiously. However, this only confirms the correctness of the old adage about the errors of great men. Upon the question of authority, I said, and still say, it was not transmissible. Was it"transferred" by the convention to the Executive Committee ? This brings us to the resolution which you claim effected the transfer. You are not mistaken about my being a member of the convention, I was; and therefore know whereof I speak when I say, said resolution was not unanimously passed; for, I well remember, some of n8 voted sol very emphatically. Now, a few words about the "tiresome discussion," which preceded the passage of this resolution; which "tiresome discussion," be it known, was not upon this resolution at all, for it was sprnDg and pushed (without allowing any discussion) for the purpose of cutting short the "tiresome discussion" of the question of so amending the primary plan as to secure an honest, Democratic nomination. Some did not want this, and to them the discussion no doubt became very "tiresome." What! Did not want an honest Democratic nomination ? Well, that's what I said, and I will stick to it?so "Lay on Macduff!" Did the passage of this resolution accomplish the transfer of authority? No; for it was wrong and undemocratic in principle; and all of the acts of the Executive Committee under this resolution are illegal, and therefore null and void?null and void , in principle, though practiced in the primary election, and thereby the end sought was attained; namely: the votiDg of Radicals, Greenbackers, Scalawags and id-genus omne.^ Do not become offended when I tell you that my indignation knew no bounds at the outrageous insult heaped upon my gray head by requiring me with uplifted hand to afflrm ' that I wonld vote the Democratic ticket at thef' next general election. Did I ever vote any other ticket ? You suspected that I would, did you ? No; you say. Then why did you, by rej__ fc\- , . ? w v%b, me among the doubtful ? The doubt, which you thereby cast upon me, I hurl back to the very center of the brain or brains from, whence it emanated. Do you know that the veriest Radical in this whole country came to the po 118, took that oath, and voted. Now, to be numbered among such? oh, my ! oh, my! You beg to be excused by saying, "we did to the best 0 XV ^11 T /VV/inOA T-All UI UUl QUlllLJ I <1 Cll, X CAUUOO JUU, and may God help yoor in-ability, that yon may have the more ability to enable you to do better Dext time.

This State does not need more teachers. The woods are foil of them soch as they are. We need better teachers." Davis the Anderson wife murderer, has been returned to the Anderson jail. He had been secretly carried to Abbeville and placed in the jail there to avoid the possibility of his beiDg lynched, there having been some threats of that kind. Popular j feeling in Anderson is /still strong ! against him. Mr. B. R. Tillman has published j the call for the meeting of a convenj tion of farmers at Columbia on Noj vember 9th, for the purpose of orI gauizing the Agricultural Association | of South Carolina. Each county will be entitled to delegates on the basis of its representation in both branches of the General Assembly. A meeting of the cgqjyators and stockholders of the Cfc&egeburg and ! Lewiedalo Railroad ?wa.s held at j j Orangeburg on Thursday, and was j j largely attended. The Meeting di- j rected the committees on subscrip- i tions to continue their canvass until j the 2Sth of October nest, when an! other meeting will lie held, for the ! i purpose of locating the route ami of .

Hereafter let him be ignored. He is not worthy of notice.

There is a prospect that Bulgaria will find out once again what it is to be crushed between the upper and nether millstones, the first being represented by Russia and the second by Turkey.
