[IFrom the Charleston News & Courier.1 The Rev. Win. S. Bowman, D. D. His Tongregation Oppose his Accepting of the Presidency of Newberry College. At a meeting of the congregation' of the Wentworth street Lutheran Church, held after morning service. Sunday, July -29, for the purpose of taking into consideration the election of their pastor, the Rev. W. S. Bow man, to the presidency of Newberry College, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, the unwelcome intelli gence having reached this church and congregation through the columns of the Lutheran Visitor, the daily papers and from) personal -sources that at the recent meeting of the blard of trus tees of Newberry College, our beloved pastor, the Rev. W. S. Bowman, D.]., was elected president of said college, as a church and congregation we deem it right and proper to give expression to our opinions in relation to said action of the board of trustees of New berry College, thereby strengthening the hands of our beloved pastor and aiding him in deciding the question of acceptance or declination of the high honor conferred on him. We frankly admit the necessity of having an able mau to preside over the college, but the question here occurs will the field for usefulness and for good be as great at Newberry as it is with us and in Charleston ? We think not. We may be selfish in the thought, but certainly truthful and candid. Our church has prospered through the blessing of God under the faithful and indefatigable labors of our loved pas tor. Ties ad attachments have been formed that are sacred and holy, and shall they be rudely sundered and broken ? We trust not. Brother Bowman enjoys the confidence, love and esteem of our entire comnmunity. He is universally beloved by all, and consequently his field for usefulness and good is made greater here in Charleston than it could be as presi dent of Newberry College. We also fear that the Lutheran Church in Charleston would be most seriously in jured by the removal of Dr. Bowman therefrom. Therefore be it ' Resolz;ed,. That the Wentworth street Lutheran Church and congrega tion earnestly and affectionately entreat their beloved pastor, Rev. W. S. Bow man, D. D., to decline the tempting prefier and continue his loving minis tration with us; contiue to breakun to us the bread of life; to lead us to green pastures and beside the still waters; to comfort the stricken and surviving among us; to cheer the drooping and despondent; to speak words of holy canifort to the dying, and to point sinners to the Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world, aamong us as his people. Resolved, That the secretary be in structed to transmit a copy of these proceedings to our beloved pastor. R?esolved, That they be published in the Lutheran Thsitor and one of the daily papers of this city. CIASs. W. TRESCOTT, Secretary Wentworth street L. C. To the Agriculturists of South Carolina.

B. Mayer, Sr., on this subject. The Doctor un derstands thoroughly what he is writing about, being a man eminent in his profession, and one who has given a great deal of study to the subject of hygiene. In all that he says we concur entirely. We venture the assertion that there is not a healthier place in the State than Newberry. It possesses a medium temperature between the cold winters of the mountain re gions and the hot summers of the lower sections of the State, being free to a great extent from the Ty phoid Fever, Pneumonia and simi lar diseases of the former and the malaria incident to the latter. We are not stating theories, but what experience has proved. We can point to numerous individual cases to confirm what we say-to persons who have come' here from other sections of the State and whose health has since greatly improved One of our citizens, who is a picture of health and vigor, weigh ing now 185 pounds, came here a few years- ago almost an invalid, weighing only 118. Another came here just a year ago, pale, lean and feeble, whose weight at that time and for ten years previous, was only 140 ; he now weighs 165, and feels like a new man. His gain in strength and general health has been greater than his gain in flesh. Both these gentlemen came from places noted for their healthfulness. We could easily point to other cases, but it is not necessary. Newberry is undoubtedly a healthy place. Wofrord College. We have received a catalogue of this noble institution for 1876-7. The advantages of Wofford are un surpassed by those of any institu tion in the State. Among the two hundred and two graduates since its foundation in 1854, many are men who have won distinction in the varied walks of life. Over one hun dred students were in attendance daing the last session. Erskine College. We have received a very neatly printed Catalogue of. Erskine Col lege, Due West, S. C. This Cata logue, besides the usual matter, contains the names of all the gradu ates since its foundation. In this list are twenty from Newberry ; among them many leading men in the various professions. Editorial Review. Ex-Gov. Moses has been let out of jail on bail of $10,000 for ap pearance before the Session Court in Richland in October. L. W. Youmans, a member of the House from Barnwell, has refunded $183.20 of his Legislative pay and mileage. He is not a "salary grab ber." The cost to Russia of the war in Europe and Asia Minor is estimatea at over $1,000,000 a day. Since the siege of Kars was raised the Russians have thrown into it 18, 000 bombs at a cost of $1,200,000. An expensive thing is war. The loss by strikes on the Balti more & Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroads in property destroyed is estimated at the enormous sum of $26,250,000 ! An dthis is only th3 loss sustained by the railroads. When that of private property, freights, live stock, detention in travel. added to which the loss of human life are all considered-the grand total is fearfully. large. The Riepublican State Convention of Ohio has noinnated as candidate for Governor, Win. M. West. One plank in their platform reads as follows: "R?esolred, That the Re publicans of Ohio reaffirm their unfaltering confidence in Rhuther krd B. Hayes as a statesman, p,a triot and 1Renublican, and cordially approve and-suppd- his efforts for the pacification of the couat;;y a.nd tp. estblishment of its civil ser vic up.cn 5 bssis of purity and efficiency.' itUevit.-w of the Great R. It. Strike. It was impossible to give anything ike an intelligible account of the Treat strike while it was in pragr'ss. But now that it is over we can take a ;eneral review of the event. THE CAUSE. July 1G, a reduction of 10 per cent. in the salaries of all officers ant etm ployees of the BALTIMORE AND 01I10 R. I. went into effect. This reduced the pay of firemen from $1.75 and $1.50 to 81.'S and 1.35. On the afternoon of that day at ('annd"n Staticon, near Baltimore, Md., about FORTY FIREMEN struck, and were joined by a few brakemen. Their places were soon supplied, and no serious consequences were then anticipated. Meetings were held, however, at other stations on the road. There were also strikes among the Baltimore box-makers, can makers and sawyers for an advance of 10 per cent. in their wages. JULY 17, the strike became general along the Baltimore and Ohio road. Trains were stopped at the stations. The strikers became so riotous at Martins burg. W. Va., that Gov. Mathews called out the militia to quell the dis turbances. They fired into the strikers, but were repuised. All freight was now at a standstill along the line. JULY 18, Gov. Mathews finding the militia un able to cope with the rioters, asked President Hayes for troops. The President sent him 250 soldiers un der General French, and issued a pro clamation commanding the rioters to disperse by uoon next day, to which they paid no attention. The rioters trrew more numnerous and boisterous. Men joined them from the Chesa peake and Ohio It. R. They num bered about 600, and were armed with guns, pistols and .bowie knives. They disarmed the militia at Wheel ing. JULY 19, the difficulties increased, and extend ed through Ohio, the principal point of excitement and trouble being Pitts burtr. There the rioters nuwbered 1.000. Gov. iHartranft was called on for trocos. JULY 20. the strike became so threatening in Marland that Gov. Carroll called out two regiments of militia and~ posted them at Camden Station, Baltimore. A figh t here occurred , ten were killed a d t wenty wounded. JULY 21, the rioting was resumed at Camden Station. 8,000 rioters surrounded the depot. Gov. Carroll called on the President for troops. They were sei t under Gen. Hancock. In the even ing another fight occurred between the rioters and militia, in which 20 were killed and 29 wounded. The rioters now numbered 20,000, and the troops were driven into the depot. The mob set fire to the depot and the troops reireated six miles, pursued by the mob. The troops lost 100 men in killed and wounded. Oil trains were burned, depots. ears and engines were destroyed to the amount of $10,000, 000. JULY 22, the rioters continued the destruc tion of railroad property. The Penn sylvania milItia was ordered to Pitts burg Gov. Robinson, of New York, ordeed out the State militia to pre vent threatened riots. JULY 23, the strike had extended from New York to San Francisco. The rioters were very violent at Philadelphia and Reading. At the latter place the militia fired into them, killing seven and wounding twenty-three. The President sent troops to Gov. Hartranft. At Buffalo two rioters were killed and five wounded. Gov'. Bedle called out the militia of New Jersey. Riots occur at Detroit, St. Louis, Cincinnati. JULY 24, the riots at Reading were quelled by the soldiers. Strikers in New York iuelled by militia. JULY 25, the first signs of cessation of hos tilities. Rioting continued with grad ual abatement to August 1st. The roads refused to accede to the demands of the strikers. Trains are moving now under the protection of troops. The ring-leaders are in jail. The number of killed and wounded, we are unable to state; but it is over The above is a condensed and very imperfect review of the Great Strike.

Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 1, 1877. One candidate for Governor of Vir ,inia takes about the same ground in inauces that Ensign Stebbins took on the temperance question. He was "in favor of the Maine liquor law, but agin its euforcement." This candi date for Governor believes in an ad justmient of the State debt, which means the payment of a portion of it only, but is opposed to the repudia tion of it. The man who will be selected as Governor of the good old State will be one in whose voice there will be no uncertain sound. If the West had completely over. come the fright;that the riots gave it, the Republicans of Ohio would most likely have had a lively time in State Convention to morrow. They may have, as it is, because of the riots and strikes, but I look for much more temperate action on all except finan cial subjects than would otherwise have been possible. With poor peo ple everywhere starving and our greatest aggregations of capital in imminent danger of destruction, men cannot be expected to give the same attention to an irreversible fact, like the Southern Policy, or to an ab straction like Scburz's and Hayes' civil service reform humbug, that they otherwise might. Nevertheless there may be a very pretty fight. The rioting attending the strikes is well over, and the strikes them selves are approaching a conclusion. It may not be unprofitable to allude again to the per.sistent effort made by the Republicans alone, to show that this violence proves the necessity for a stronger government and a lai-ger national army. These people over look the fact that the time to stop a riot is when it commences, and before it gets headway, and that that can only be done by force near by. Two well-disciplined militia companies brought to Martinsburg at the be ginning of violence would not only have saved the employment of regular troops there and elsewhere, but would have prevented the immense destruc tion of property in other cities. But West Virginia had not a well-discip lined militia conipany in her borders, and had to await the necessarily slow approach of Federal troops. To-night Mr. Hayes, in company with Carl Schurz. will ride out to the popular German Schutzenfest, and look on while people enjoy themselves drinking beer and wine. Whether Mr. Hayes, led away in this by Schurz, as he has been in so many other things, will for get the temperate habits, which more than anything else distinguish him, and taste* the beverage which cheers, but not ine briates, an anxious country will be informed to-morrow. At least, he will ha-ve the pleasure of looking upon thousands of men and women, young and old, all sober, all enjoying them selves, and all of course peacefully engaged. He will see no rudeness, no fighting, no picking of pockets, no policeman, no intoxicated persons. Secretary Sherman whether intend ing it or not has done something which he ought not' to have done. Sometime ago he announced his belief in a plan for putting before a Court, or Commission to be specially created for the purpose, all claims growing out of the late war. To this no one could object. It would secure uni formity in decisions at least. But to inauguratc a movement in favor of his plan, he thought it necessary to ~promulgate an order suspending |pay ment of any class of war claims. Still no one objected. But it is now found that under that order the Secretary's subordinates have stopped the pay. ment even of the bounties and allow ances of soldiers of the late war. These have b-een held heretofore sa cred by both Radical and Conserva tive Secretaries. Under Sherman and Hayes they go with numberless other unquestioned claims, into the hands of some future Congress. RENO. The Ohio Democracy.. The Democrats of Ohio have noni nated Hion. R. M. Bishop, of Cincin nati, for Governor. lHe has never been a very prominent politician, only having been Mayor and member of the Legislature; but in the election of the members to the Constitutional Con vention he had a majority of six hun dred more than any other candidate. It is thought his nomination is a very popular one, and that his election to the Governorship is pretty sure. The following is the concise platform of principles set forth by the party: THE PLATFORM. The Democratic party of Ohio. in State Convention assembled, renews its pledges of devotion to the Union and the constitution, with the amend ments. It declares as essential to the preservation of free government a faithful adherence to the following principles : Strict construetion; home rule; the supremacy of the civil over the military power ; the separation of church and State; the equality of all citizens before the law; liberty of in aividual action, unvexed by sumptu ary laws; absolute acquiescence in the lawfully expressed will of the ma jority ; opposition to all. subsidies ; the preservation of the public lands to the use of actual settlers; and the 1 maintenance and perfecting of the 3ommon school system.

That, as a means of relieving the distressed portions of the community, and removing the great stringency complained of in business circles, we demand the immediate repeal of the resumption act. 4.

That we favor the retention of greenback currency as the best paper money we have ever had, and declare against any further contraction. 6. We congratulate the country upon the acceptance by the present administration of the constitutional and pacific policy of local self-govern went in the States of the South, so long advocated by the Democratic party, and which has brought peace and harmony to that section of the Union. 'r. The registry law framed by the last Legislature is burdensome and expensive, and discriminates unjustly against the poorer class of voters, and we therefore demand its immediate repeal. 8. We favor a tariff for revenue only. 9. We favor the issue by the gen eral government alone of all circulat ing medium, whether paper or me. talic, to be always of equal tender, and interconvertible. 10. That we condemn the acts of the Federal administration in using the regular troops of the United States to interfere with elections and other political affairs of the States, as unconstitutional, unlawful and unjus tifiable, destructive of the rights of the people and the States. FOR THE UERALD. Broadbrin's New York Letter. No. 29. The Great Strike---Stirring Scenes in New York-The Military Called Out--Meeting of the Commune at Tompkins Square -Dispersion of the Rioters-The Troops Coming Home-The Press-"Order Reigns in Warsaw." The terrible events of the past week have followed each other in such rapid and alarming succession that I have scarcely had time to think, much less to make a summary of the news. The tramp of armed men, the beat of martial drums, and the roll of artillery through our streets have kept us on a high-strung tension with a sense of impending peril. We know that we are sitting on the crater of a volcaoo which is ready to burst at any moment. Nearly thirty thousand thieves and gamblers, backed by an army of fifty thousand idle men reduced to the most abject and suffering destitution, form an ele ment of which any community may well stand in dread. A thousand millions of property lie exposed, and New York is fully awake to her peril. Not by any means the lightest of. our dangers is the character of our mu nicipal rulers. Closely allied with the criminal classes they fear giving offense, and the result is a pandering to the vilest elements of the mob in our suprewest hour of danger. For tunately Governor Robinson was equal to the emergency. The rapid action of our organized military and perfect discipline of our metropolitan police, -these, with the wholesome aid ex tended by the general government, have averted a danger greater than that from which we escaped only twelve short years ago. The failure. of tile Commune leaves us still a na tion, while its success would have left our much-loved republic a heap of smouldering ruins. When the news reached us of the riot in Baltimore, there was but little cause for alarm ; still later came the terrible scenes at Pittsburg with its horrible details writtcn in letters of crimson and black, its desolate homes, its wickedness and its crime. The next day and our own State was thrilled from its center to its circum ference with the intelligence of organ ized rebellion in our midst, and Erie, one of the main arteries of our com mercial life, was in the hands of an organized mob. Following each other in rapid succession came the intelli gence of fresh disasters. Men began to look distrustfully at their neigh bors till they knew how far they were committed to the strike. On Sunday, while .the quiet Sabbath bells were ringing, the Twenty-Third Regiment of Brooklyn might be seen hurrying through the streets, every man with his knapsack on his back as if de parting for the war. At night, as they marched out of their armory, mothers, sisters, wives and sweet hearts rushed up to the departing sol diers to take ne parting kiss. They were followed by an immense multi. tude to the ferry. The sentries at the gates charged back the- crowd, nd, as the troops steamed out into he river and were lost in the dark aess of tihe night, a low, deep wail went up from the poor women left pon the shore, who felt that they ight possibly never see their loved nes again. By Monday we began o feel the pressure on our markets. Within a radius of a few miles lie wo millions of people who depend on he railroads for their daily supplies. Vor our beef, bread and vegetables e depend on uninterrupted railroad ~ommunication. A few hours' de ention in a supply-train is like seiz g a strong man by the throat. Hie nay have lived forty years of health 'ul life, but if you only grip him hard uogh by the throat for five min ites he viill giye yoig no fgrtlief trou~ Allea,oda hr wsafr Alenit damonga therc a fernt nentatio amo nn eunle Beryt they had everything to gain and no thiug to lose. 'The feeling among our people has been one of trembling in security. Around us on every side are vast store-houses containing- rich stuffs worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Millions and millions of gold, silver, and valuable securities are hoarded in the banks of Wall street. No such rich prize is to be found in the United States and very few in the world. Tuesday came, the area of the strike had increased, till in four days it had spanned the American continent, and a million of men at least were directly interested in its success. The mem bers of the New York Commune, com posing the most disreputable elements of our working classes, led by an Irish revolutionist by the name of Swinton, applied for permission to hold a meet ing in Tompkins Square. There was also to he a German meeting in the same place, presided over by an ?ndi vidual named Schwab. The crisis was perilous; the portion of the city in which the meeting was to be held is peopled by the scum of our foreign population, intermixed with the very worst elements of our own; here, three years ago, a te'rrible conflict oc curred between the members of the Commune and the police, and the streets were dyed with blood before the insurrection could be quelled. The wretched demagogues of the Park Commission and the Mayor realized the terrible crime they had committed in allowing the revolutionists to meet, and urged by our best citizens began to make tardy preparation for the re sult. Our different regiments were got ready in their armories ; the whole of our reserve police force was called into active duty; at least a thousand police, extra constables, and detectives in citizens' dress mingled with the un washed multitude, and the result was a wholesome dread on the part of the Commune, which turned the tragedy into a farce. The speakers were greet ed with hooting and cries by the mob mingled with gentle invitations to "pull down their vests," and "wipe off their chics," to "wash their dirty faces and get clean shirts," of which some of them seemed to be sady in need. A conflict of authority took place between the speakers Conroy and Swinton, both employed on the New York "Sun," which eventually broke up the meeting ; the enemies of social order were eulogized ; the cowards and scoundrels who deserted their arms and fraternized with the mob were praised. A general division of . pro perty was advocated, and awed by the clubs of the police the unsavory crowd scattered to tihe low drinking shops in the vicinity, cursing their hard fate that no opportunity was afforded them for arson, robbery and murder;,. and hoping for another chance which would bring back the good old times of the Commune when they fired the Tuile ries, destroyed the column Vendome, and assassinated in cold blood the good Archbishop of . Paris. We breathe freer now that the danger has past, and for the sense of security which assures the safety of our wives, our children and our hearth-stones, we feel like giving tbanks to God.. The troops returning home from different points of the State where they have been performing eff'ective duty, have all received a grand ova tion. The Twenty-third regiment of Brooklyn, which was the first regiment called out was awarded a glorious re ception; all along the line the boys were cheered and fairly showered with bouquets; and the gallant Ninth of New York will also receive an ovation. Peace has reigned supreme within our limits while the whole nation has been shaken by an earthquake, such as it never experienced before. We feel humbly grateful to this exemption, and think after all, notwithstanding our frailties and sins, that we are not so bad as we seem. Pardon me if in the letter of this week I have little roenm for idle gos sip and nonsense and laughter and jests which, while it made the "un skillful laugh, could not but make the judicious grieve." The events of the past few days with their tre mendous possibilities of ruin and death, leave only a feeling of supreme thankfulness to the Almighty God that we have escaped the impendiog danger. That we have escaped it, thanks to the loyal hearts whose firm ness remained unshaken in the very jaws of death ; thanks to the friends of law and social order everywhere; thanks to the rulers of the land, who realized our peril and were prompt and zealous in the performance of their duty ; thanks to our citizen sol diery whose bayonets and sabers de fended the majesty of the law, and above all, thanks to the press. of the United States, which, fully realizing the tremendous nature of the crisis, has spoken in no uncertain note in behalf of justice, of God, and the right. No political differences have separated them in the hour of the na tion's danger. The Democratic World has rivaled the Republican Times, and the Republican Union of Brook lyn has but echoed the grand and no ble utterances of the Democratic Ea gle. which, by the way, is one of the most enterprising papers in the State. When you consider how liable news paper property is to destruction, and how the blind fury of a mob turns that way to give vent to its earliest expression, the nature of the stand aken and the danger incurred by the press can only be partly estimated. [t was the press that sounded the key-note of alarm; it was the press ~hat awakened the entire land to a ~ese of the impending danger, and :t was the press that, when the shock >f the conflict came, arrayed itself on .he side of order and of law, prepared o -incur the penalty of iegrqetion -ather than swerve a hair's breadth 'row the right. Occasionally there -a hav bee a we.k-kneed sister that in the hour of danger the repre sentatives of the fourth estate will be found where duty calls. The clesing days of July, 1877, -will be memorabW in the history of this nation, as long as the republic shall stand. It is shocks and trials like these that demonstrate the possi bility of national existence, and the purification by fire alone leaves the gold pure, and virgin, and bright. The sufferings of the poor and the laboring classes must, for the well being and safety of society; find a respousein the hearts of the rich. Every man must have the right su preme to his own labor, and no man can or shall have the right to dictate to him what he shall choose to take. In this lies the only absolute safety of the citizen, the only absolute safety of the republic. Within these lines the citizen will find redress for every grievance, without -theu are ruin, misery and death. I am, truly yours, BROADBRIM. . .'ifarried, July 28th, by Rev. J. E..Watson, Mr. .W. H.
