The IIerald is in the highest respect a Fain ily Newspaper, devoted to the material im terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium otrers unrivalled ad vantages. LFo: Terms, see first page. NOMINEES. Fo house of Representatires: Y. J. ['OPE. For Clerk of Court: E. P. CHALMERS. For County Commissioner: L. BATES MAFFETT. Blaine and Chamberlain. On the outside of to-days paper is Chamberlain's Fourth of July speech at Woodstock, Connecticut -not the whole speech, but the substance of it. Blaine's speech was still more bitter against the President. These men represent the sentiments of a large portion of the Republican party in the cotn try. They are mad with Hayes for giving Louisiana to the Democrats. Their argument is-and it is logi cal-that if the Hayes Electors were elected in Louisiana, Packard, who got more votes than they, was also. Hayes' position is hardly to be envied, except by one who wants, above all things, a $50,000 salary. All Democrats believe he was never elected ; a large and respectable portion of the Republican party en tertain the same opinion, and not a dozen sensible men in the country of either party believe that Hayes was elected and Packard not. Both were elected, or neither was. The fact is neither was. We give Hayes credit for his "Southern Policy," and for what ever la,udable acts he has done ; still it is well enough to keep before the minds of 'the people the fact that he was not elected President at least to refresh their minds occa sionally, say once every six months. A man is not to be excused for do ing wrong because he does a good deed afterwards. It would be poor policy if a man should steal $50, 000 and give $10,000 to charitable purposes- to forget the stealing and remember only the charity. But we have said enough now, and will not revive the subject again soon. The Nation's Wards. It is a fact evident to all that the rising generation *of the colored people are, as a general thing, a thriftless, idle set. Those who grew up to manhood before "freedom come out" acquired habits of indus try, and in most cases, of honesty too, which they continue to prac tice. But those who have grown up under the new regime are alto gether different, with some excep tions. They have taken up the no tion that the country that gave them freedom also owes them a living. That living they have been expecting all along to get by hold ing office, instead of working for it. On the streets of -any town or city in the State may be seen scores of these young fellows, who do no work at all. How they manage to live is a mystery. Idleness pro duces its invariable result in them. Go to the jails and the penitentiary, and see how large a proportion of their inmates are among the num ber of those who have grown up since the war. Appropos to this fact, we quote from tihe Darlington southerner. Speaking of David Pearce, now under sentence of' death for the murder of Mr. Edings in Charleston, it says: "David is a young man, and from a family formerly owned by Col. H. G. Charles, of Springville, near this town. David enjoyed the confi dence and respect of his owners, and they considered him a first-rate boy, but idleness and the company of the vicious have brought him to disgrace and shame, and early death upon the gallows. Idleness ! Yes, idleness is driving to ruin a large portion of young colored men in our country, and unless idleness is punished in some manner by our authorities the number cannot de crease." Go to the farmer and ask him, whether he prefers a young negro of seventeen or eighteen as a la.bor er or an older man; he will tell yon - ? 2... LL,. ~ .-~-~vn . fh~d and another there, making a half dollar one day, to live on the iest of the week. Colored fathers shouid bring up their boys to work, and teach them that they must make their living in the old way, "In the sweat of their face," unless they want them to grow up in idleness and vice, to be come a curse to the community and to themselves. Editorial Correspondence. LINCOLNTON HOTEL-CAPT. JO IN F. SPECK-MOUNTAIN BREEZES HEALTHY CLIMATE-TOWN CLOCK, ETC., ETC. L1NCOLNTON, N. C., July 10, 1877. Our last was written on the wing, and nothiug occurring to arrest our pleasant flight, this delightful retreat was reached in safety, and in due time, Morris, barber, formerly of New berry, gave cordial welcome at the depot and tenderly disposed of us in the "'Bus." and in a few minutes we had the pleasure of shaking by the hand Capt. J. F. Speck, the proprietor of the Lincolnton Hotel, one of, if not the best, public houses in the up-coun try. It was a most agreeable surprise, this same hostelry; for where we look ed for a rambling, tumbling wood?n edifice of the ancient time and all out at the elbows, with a rickety piazza, whose pillars, loose at the bottom, re fused support, we found an elegant three story brick building, apparently of quite recent construction in thor ough repair, freshly painted from base ment to observatory-which latter im portant feature is in keeping with the rest. In contrast to the bright red brick of the building are the green blinds with which every window is supplied. We make this special men tion of the happy fitness of things,. knowing that it will prove gratifying to the friends of Capt. Speck, who remember his taste and ability in fix ing up. The house is also well and comfortably furnished, and table sup plied in a completely satisfactory man ner. Of a verity, the Lincolnton Hotel is kept infirst-class style, and if there are any doubters, we beg them to come and see for themselves, assuring them that they will fmd no more healthful or pleasant retreat than this charming town of Lincolnton, where one is free from sweltering by day and can enjoy refreshing sleep at night, because of the breezes which come from the mountains, laden with the odoriferous smell of the balsam. It is worthy of a wider reputation than it enjoys. The following statistics may prove of interest: The county was once the largest and wealthiest in the State, but frequent slices of territory stolen from her broad domain to make other counties (no less than three of them) have considerably decreased her fair proportions. It is a grain country, rich, fertile and well watered, and her farmers free from debt and well to do. The town enjoys a population, almost exclusively white, of fifteen hundred inhabitants, a goodly proportion of whom as handsome matrons and maids as can be found anywhere. Streets broad, clean and shaded by the Lin den-a characteristic of the old North State. Society good, citizens hospita ble and kind, four churches-Presbyte ran, Methodist, Episcopal and Ger man Reformed. the former the strong-* est, the first three of which are regu larly served; there are ten stores, pretty well stocked, of which obe is a book and one a drug store. The lat ter can do all the business and more a proof conclusive of good health. Lncoton also gives a good support to the Progress, its county paper, anid gets along happily with but five law yers ; its court house, a very handsome structure, is graced with a fine cupola in which is an excellent clock, show ing a large face on its four prominent sides, and which chimes the hours in notes which are heard over the entire imits of the corporation, accurately ellig the good housewife when to make preparations for the three im portant affairs of the day-breakfast, dinner and supper, and also giving warning to ye lovers at night, "tis time to part, thou hearest." The town is proud of her clock, and of right. Would that New berry had one, and then her housewives would not ave to adjust their time-pieces by the railroad and whistle which is as frequently behind as up to timue. There are two first rate paper mills here within five minutes drive anid one more distant, each full of business. There is also a cotton factory a half mile from town, owned by Messrs. Phifer & Allison, where -is made ex cellent cloth and yarn. The forme* gentleman is an uncle of D. R. P., of Newberry, arnd a straight-out Demo crat of the righit gripe, wve are pleased to say ; a righ t pleasaut g nleman on ~ ~ ~f '~is~tu with ahundance Of supply losses which constantly occur. There are iron works here also, and we forgot while speaking of the court house, to add that a vein of gold runs underneath it. Next in importance, or rather conveuience, to the clock as a public institution is Speck's omni bus, which makes its raular trips from hotel to depot, and from thence wherever the weary wish to go. This is a decided blessing-we recommend its adoption elsewhere. There is a river half a wile from town to gladden the heart of the piseatorily inclined, and an inviting creek two miles off both. afford fish. We had nearly for gotteu mention of the famous Burton Spring, in close reach of the hotel, the waters of whiclh have effected some wonderful cures. On the whole. Liucoloton is a pleasant place, and the seeker after quiet, mountain breezes, pure water and cheap rates of board, and last but not least, good society, cannot do better than coeic here. The cost-all rail-from Greenville is only SG.75, from Spartauburg $5.25; quick, safe, cheap. And now till next time, adieu. Editorial Review. Governor Hampton , returned to Columbia Wednesday from his Northern trip. He succeeded in effecting a loan of $100,000 in New York, to meet the necessities of the State till the taxes are paid in. The Journal of Uo,nnmrce says : "A gentleman in the upper wards has a commo-n rooster with two horns portrading from his head one on either side." Such a rooster would be very un.cOmmon up here. The News and Courier says Mar tha Linen was up before the Mayor for misconduct, and the Mayor told her "if she didn't mend her ways he would put her where the moths wouldn't get at her." But the point of the joke is lost when you re member that moths never touch linen. FoRt THE HERALD. Due West---C'ommcflemenlt. Remniseenees of the pust are sweet, and peculiarly so 'hen the imtpress has been made on the tablet of our heart by the hand of love and true ~friendship. In our journey through this world, it is true that Iwe all have our wilderness to traverse and our marsh to pa;s ye;. we occasionally "rst under the shade" of- the olive and refresh ourselves with "the waters of the pool of $iloam." The fertile imagination can at any time portray in fine colors the future, but it is only the ideal the past is the real, and it is on th is that the retro spectiv'e mind loves to linger. The days of our childhood and youth form a grand panorama on which we love to gaze, the zest for which is never lost. Who, when thinking on such themes, will not exclaim: Who for all that age can bring, Would forget life's budding Spring ? -Who in after toil and strife Would forget the morn of life ? Our school-days are often referred to as our happiest, and when we visit the rude log cabin where we were taught our alpha bet strange feelings fill our soul; and still more so when we visit the Alma Mater, where we recited our last lesson, and bade kind teachers farewell. When good-bye lingered on our lips we hoped it would not be long ere we would return ; but alas ! how often are we disappointed. Our an ticipated visit, like the mirage of the des ert, fled from us for sixteen years, yet we were still sanguine. At last our fondest hope was gratified, and on the 2d of July we took the ears for Due West-the home of our Alma Mater-where we found warm hearts and hospitable hands. Many of the faces looked so familiar that it seemed hard to realize the fact that so many checkered scenes had passed during these years that have fled. The town is still in habited by enterprising and intelligent citi zens, and while the college bells tell you that lore is in store for those who delve, the shrill whistle of the steam engine as sures you that the true dignity of physical labor is not forgotten. Many fine resi deces h:ive been reared during our ab sence, and the public buildings have been improved. The churches seem to be in a prosperus condition. The institutions of learning each have an able faculty, with a goody nxumber of intellectual looking stu dents; and so interested did almost every one seem in the cause of education that it remined us of the classie groves of Acad emus. We went to Due West to attend CoM MEN CEMENT. And here let us say that to our juvenile mind there was always little relevancy about the word commencement. It seemed rather a finishing, but experiencee has taught us the true etymology of the word in its bro.idest sense, and well may each of the graduates say, with one of their num "My bark is launched, iBut where's the shore ?" A superfluity of words would not add anything to the general opinion of the ex ercises.' They were splendid. Both young gentlemen and ladies did acquit themselves with honor. T-he speeches were interesting and the essays the same. The music too was of the best. The invited speakers and essayists did their full duty. The degree of D',D. was conferred on several Divines all we believe sons of Erskine. We may here remark that this mother of literature inda her sons in the pulpit, the legislative halls and many honorable professio.s, while her daughters are variou.sly engaged in the vocations of life from those "whose hands hold the distaff" to those who on Afric's sunny plains proclaim the joyous no of a "Saviour born." We can only add that ahe i "? .fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by' a We. li;o-e .b.ranches run over a wall," and may she ljpe larg , to bless those who honor her, J. 4, L.

Vastly different will be Mr. Hayes' reception at the South on his coming trip, from that given him in the New England States, The people of the Southern States know that the unex pected course of the Administration has conferred great benefits upon them, and they will welcome suitably the man at the head of the Administra tion. But there will not be, in the popular receptions, unless all advices are false, the slightest sign of political endorsement. The position of Mr. Hayes as President, acquired as it was, will detract from, rather than in crease, the hearty welcome to be given to a public benefactor. Events at New Orleans, by the way, may prevent the extension of the trip to that city. It would not be a pleas ant thing for Mr. Hayes to be in that city while Wells and Anderson were being tried for the frauds that gave him the Presidential office. If they sh'ould be convicted, as they doubtless will be if justice does not fail in the land, and to save themselves from the penitentiary, should make full confes sion, what would be the feeling of Stanley Mathews and Secretary Sher man, who will probably be of the Presi dential party when they read in the New Orleans papers the details of the confession-the tricks they suggested, the immunity they promised, the frauds they winked at ? On the whole, unless the trials can be put off, the Southern excursion had better be cur tailed. Positive assurances are given that Mr. Tilden and his immediate friends had nothing to do with the indictment of Wells, Anderson and the rest, but it is no where denied that a knowledge of what was to be done kept him from going abroad even after his- tickets were purchased and his other prepa rations all made. The consequences of the indictment and triat can only be guessed at, but they must be. of great moment. Whether, as intima ted above, these scoundrels will Lecure clemency by confession or suffer pun ishment in silence, is not certain, but it is certain that the trials will afford an opportunity of putting on record the enormous mass of evidence of fraud which the Electoral Commission re fused-8 to 7-to receive. The Wash iugton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, a reliable and well informed pa per. and not indisposed to deal kindly with Mr. Hayes, says this morning that the prosecutions will go on to the end ; that the colored members of the Board will probably be used as States evidence, and that it is expected evi dence will be produced which will have the effect of driving Mr. Hayes from the White House through his sense of right and justice, even though the law cannot deprive him of the office. There is, beyond question, dissatis faction in the Cabinet on the subject of flayes' order that no Federal officer should enter into the work of manag ing caucuses and conventions, or run ning the party machine in any way. Mr. Hayes is precluded, not less by his own assertions than by the manner of his first elevation, from ever again being a candidate for President, but several members- of the Cabinet are ambitious and they don't like the or der. They see in it the ruin of the Republican party..- The effect in some of the Western States is much dreaded by those who wish to keep the party majorities up. Said the President the.other day to Gov. Young, of Ohio, "Governor, what do you think of moy Southern policy ?" Said the Gover nor, "Dawn your Southern policy, what I want to know about is your Nothiern policy." It is said that if all the Governme,nt officials retire from State Committees in the North ern States, and those who expect of fie from Hayes refuse to serve on State Committees, every such Com mittee in the North will fall into the hands of opposers of the Administra tion. The President is understood to be determined to enforce the order. RENO. The Carolina Cotton Crop. REPORT' OF TIHE CHARLESTON EX CHANGE FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE. To the President and .Directors of the Charleston Exchange : Gentlemen: We herewith submit our report of the condition of the cot ton crop in South Carolina for the month of June, the facts being derived from the replies of ninety-six corres dents, in thirty counties of the State : The first part of the month was dry. afterwards showery, and in portions of the State ver-y wet. Fifty-eight report the weather for the month favorable. Thirty-eight report too wet and un favorable. Thirty-eight report it more favorable than last year. Thirteen report it about the same. Forty-five report less favorable. Eighteen counties, containing two thirds of the acreage of the State, re port a decrease in acreage since last report, owing to bad stands, etc., (grain and corn being substituted,) from 2.1 to 15 per cent., and one coun ty an increase of 2 per cent., the average for nineteen counties being a decrease of 3 per cent., equal to a de crease for the State of 2 per cent. The stands are reported fair to good by sixty-four, and bad by thirty-two. In the upper and middle counties no bloomsi are reported. ifn the lower counties a few blooms have appeared. The condition of the crop is re ported by twenty as good, and better than last year; by thirty-six healthy an oele, but late ten to fifteen days; aind by fiorty rJeldp grgy, cotton late, condition bad, not so g.ooi as f ast year. Lieae rep orted in seven counties FOR THE HERALD. Broadbrii's New York Letter. No. 26. Fourth of July-New Style of Celebration No Accidents--No Fires-The Consecra tion of the Astor Reredos-Stewart's Grand Memorial Cathedral-Young Robbers' Escape--Intemperance Among Women-Chitchat About Town, Etc., Etc. Since the old court-house bell in 1776 proclaimed "Liberty throughout all the land and to all the inhabitants thereof," we have had no such cele bration of our Independence as that which has just passed. Fairly launch ed on the second century of our na tional life we pause for a moment to contemplate the past, and to cast, if possible, the horoscope of the future. The Fourth of July this year was a new departure from all established custom. So far back, that the memory of living man runneth not to the contrary, our Independence Day has been ushered in with the roar of cannon, the rattle of small arms, the braying of horns and the beating of drums. For a hundred years at least if has been the prerogative of the youthful Americans on that day to defy all law and ordi nance, and to fire the ancient horse pistol, to explode the patriotic fire cracker, and to send the rocket whiz zing to the sky, and let fly the infer nal serpent, the erratic evolutions of which struck terror to the crowd wherever it chanced to fall. Fourth of July in Brooklyn marked a new era in our history; it was indeed a peace jubilee. The ordinance against the sale of fire-works and the miscel laneous discharge of guns and pistols was strictly enforced, and the conse quence was an unbroken quiet such as Americans have not enjoyed since the Declaration of Independeuce. There were some constitutional growlers, who sighed for the privilege of throw ing bundles oT fire-crackers under horses' heels, for the fun of seeing them run away; and discharging pis tols into people's ears to make them jump; but the majority of respectable citizens were overjoyed at the change and are quite content to leave the abominable cracker and the villainous torpedo to the Chinese and such other barbarians, whose ideas of a patriotic celebration consist of "Sound and fury signifying nothing." In a city of half a million of inhabtants there was only one alarm of fire, and but one case of serious accident from any cause whatever; this is a matter of sincere congratulation, and in view of the general comfort of the people and the almost entire immunity from accident, I doubt if Brooklyn will ever return to the old style of celebration. The 28th of June, Anno Domnini, 1877, will be a red-letter day in the history of the Episcopal Church in America as long as the Republic shall stand. St. Peter's Day was chosen by the magnates of that denomination for the consecration of the Astor Re redos in Trinity Church, and the dedi cation of Stewart's splendid mauso leum at Garden City, on Long Island. From immemorial time it bath been the custom to preserve for the instruc tion and incitement of posterity the names of good and mighty men, whose great examples shall be the means of raising mankind to a higher plane further from earth and nearer to God, and hence these grand bequests. Not far from a million and a quarter of dollars was conveyed to the church on that day to celebrate the memory of two men who, if it had not been for their enormous wealth, would have dropped out of sight beneath Time's meriless wave. "un knelled, uncoffinied and unknown." Entering Trinity Church by the eastern door, you see a little box above which is the following inscription :"Whosoever bath pity upon the poor ler.deth unto the Lord;" thus soliciting the alms of the faithful as they enter the gate of thesanctuary. Trinity Church is the richest church corporation in America, if not to.day in the whole world ; its glebe lands and tenures stretch east, west, north and south ; its mighty revenues each year might serve as ransom for a king; and its influence in Episcopal matters is felt to the furthest extremity of the continent. In positive grandeur and architectural chastity it was surpassed by no church in the limits of the United States; it was a shrine worthy of God's worship in any land,-cost ier than ever was dreamed of by the suffering and despised Nazarene. On Thursday, the 28th of June, while the Te Deu.m Laudamus and Gloria in .Excelsis Deo rolled through its mag nificent aisles in exquisite and glo rious harmony, while trained singers at salaries of thousands of dollars were chanting praises to God, while the smoke of sweet incense almost hid the veil of the shekinah from the eyes of the wondering worshippers,-a poor woman and four children were perishing of want almost under the shadow of the great spire reflected by the noonday sun. Trinity Church faces the Babel of Wall street on one side with its gilded fanes and ruined reputations; its back is almost on the slums where sin holds high carnival throughout all the year-summer and winter, spring-time and harvest. Naught is heard here but curses and blasphemy ; degradation and misery and crime are strongly intrenched at all times and in all seasons ; murder and robbery are the records of almost every day,-for this is the home of the social Bash i-bazouks, the pariahs of society, the worse than heathen whom no gospel ever reaches, and whose ostracism fmQm everything phat is holy is as complete as if~ they wer.e dwell ing in the Hlades. Trinity is not bet tered by the Astor memorial; a hun dred thousand dollars has been reck lessly squandered in senseless and un meaning ornamient to feed the pomp and Wnity of' Is waggems whil ~ .mA ~1ie~.11Q~1fld~ are nerish When Macaulay's New Zealander shall get tired of sitting on the broken arch of London Bridge, and shall have placed his finished sketch of St. Paul's in the bottom of his carpet sack, and enveloping himself in a hydrogenated gas-bag, shall land him self across the ocean in about an hour and a half, and lighting (n the spire of the mighty cathedral at Garden City, he shall ask of the sexton, whom he may possibly find taking weather observations in the belfry, to whose memory was this church erected. The answer will undoubtedly be, one A. T. Stewart-for his name will not yet have perished from the memory of men-who died Anno Diomini, 1876. What great and glorious work did he do that he is honored by this splendid mausoleum, persistently in quires the stranger. He sold cali coes on Broadway, replies the sexton, at ten cents a yard. Going over to Trinity, he will see the magnificent altar, then hoary with time and con secrated by age. To whose memory was this gorgeous memorial erected, and what did the good man do to de serve it, he inquires. lie made mo ney while lie lived,-money, money, money ! From youth to age he rolled in millions. Gold, gold, gold, poured down upon him like the gilded rain with which Jupiter enveloped the glorious mother of Perseus ; but he died and left it all behind. -No poor man blessed him, no unfortunate wept for his taking off. In the city of his birth, where all his millions were accumulated, he leaves no mon ument behind, nothing but his gold and this; the library which bears his name, though a costly collection of books, is sealed to the million of peo ple who surround it, and for any practical service, except to a favored few, it might to-day be swept from the earth and it would never be miss ed, except by the librarian. It is not pleasant thus to write of two great men whose accumulated wealth rep resented half a hundred millions of dollars, and whose possibilities for good were unequaled in their genera tion, but living they coveted no man's love, and dying, sweet charity passes them by, for they have left no gentle remembrancer. Last week, five boys escaped from the reformatory in Brooklyn, rivaling the best feats of Jack Sheppard. They tore their sheets and blankets into strips and made a rope, with which they descended from the upper story of the building. They then scaled a twenty-foot wall and were free. They were ~all small boys, but their little bodies were covered all over with welts, telling a story of brutal usage which, I fear, is too common in all of our public institutions. Just DOW the attention of our cru saders is turned to a new phase of vice in our American society ; it is the prevalence' of intemperance among women. Forty years ago such a thing as a dram-drinking American woman was almost unknown. Whatever there was of intemperance among fe males, was confined exclusively to our foreign population, and while it is true that you will see no such sights in New York as you meet with in the gin-palaces of London, still intemper ance has increased among our female population to a very alarming extent. Young girls from fourteen to eighteen years of age are frequently before our police courts, and only last week two sisters, young and lovely girls, were taken before the court by their father, who had found their reformation im possible. ~Wall Street looks like a poor man's funeral, and around the back doors of our fashionable theatres third-rate ac tors in dirty paper collars are specula ting on the possibilities of the coming season. We expect Patti. Herr Wagner is talked of, but it is said that he don't like water of any kind, and that he has an especial detestation of salt water. The cobwebs are growing over the doors of all our fashionable churches. The watchmen on Zion's Hill have disappeared. Some are breathing inspiration among the mold ering shrines of Jerusalem, some are clambering the Alps of Switzerland, somec are deep in the mysteries of the Pan-Pr .byterian Council, a few are at Long Branch, and a portion are at Coney Island. Let us hope that He who watcheth the sparrows fall, may keep an eye on their uncared for flocks in the absence of these wandering shepherds, and wishing themz all a happy time and a safe return, I am, truly yours, BROADBRIM. THE COLOSSAL BRONZE STATUE OF VICTOR which stands in the Park, at Lowell, before the tomb of the first so! diers that fell in the revolution, is a lasting and beautiful tribute of art. It is one of the first objects sought by strangers visiting our sister city, which indeed many visit purposely to see this elegant object of high art. It was ob tained from the King of Bavaria by Dr. J. C. Ayer, to whom his majesty was especially gracious in acknowledgment of what his remedies are reputed to have done for the suffering sick.
