The x-'oreu-'UllL In the days of sectional "persecution of ;the So?tiil one of the greatest crimes nt ,tempted by the Republican party, was -.the* passage of the Force Bill. It was .as merciless and cruel as the repressive ^measures of the Duke of Alva in the LoftTbhn tries, m the sixteenth century; but it was inspired by a diabolical cun ning that was born of long practice. It would have* crashed out in the Southern States every semblance of Irce action, and would have subjected us to the abso -Jute'wUJ of the President of the Uuited .States as completely as tha satrapy of a? Eastern monarch is under his despot ic po\ver. Let us look at It for a moment. In the Forty-second Congress.'the Republicans had suffered in representation.' In the Senate, there were 57 Republicans and 17 Democrats: in the House 138 Repub licans and 103 Democrats. Mr. Blaine was' Speaker. To revive the waning po litical power of the Republicans in the South, and to save tlie hateful carpetbag government here, which had burdened us with debts and dishonor, an Act was "fltroduced which established a policy of constructive treason more infamous thau that trampled iii the dust by the Com mons of England, and held up in ??Hal lam" to.the undying hatred of all liber ty-loving people. It notouly allowed ? suit In the United States Courts against any person who should deprive any one of tho rights of a citizen under the Fourteenth Amendment, and made it a penal o I fence to conspire to take away any such rights, but it also provided that inability, neglect or refusal of any State Government to suppress such conspira cies, or to call upon the President for aid io do so, should be deemed a denial by such ' State, .of-equal protection of the ""Saws ofits citizens. It further declared such conspiracies a rebellion against the Government of tho United States, and authorized the President, when, in his .owitjudynient, the public safety required it, to suspend the writ of Habeas Corpus in any district, and suppress any such "ilKU:re,etion by the nnny ami- navy. This suspension of the Writ of Habeas ^^Pwpjiis, at the simple will of ?ie Presi dent, was absolutism in full. '.' ' This outrageous act of tyranuy was just about to he imposed upon the peo ple of the South by the Raift?fl parly in Congress.. The Democrats in au appar itlyjiopcless minority cTeat dispirited and with?. .t compact organiza tion. The measure was about to pass, which would put the South absolutely iu the' hands of the President, beyond the reach of the great Writ of Civil Liberty, the Writ of Habeas Corpus, enabling him to scud armed mon and arrest any citizen and imprison him in a military fortress, not to be reached by any Court jpf Justice^The. Democratic leaders in e House were unequal to the emergen d regarded th.o passage of the foregone conclusion. At this here sprang to the front, a pion bf the rights of the person of a Northern Dem arouscd the Democrats of the awful iniquity of this by the skillful use of jtactics' day after day' pre yenfe7Hfll"|P"feage. Public enquiry over '?.he country was aroused at tire unusual spirit manifested by -. the Democrats; public opinion began toutter its voice against the obnoxious BiT{. and 'the re sult of. the Democratic filibustering w;is the failure of the measure. 'The South had still left to her the opportunity of Vising aud crushing out the carpet-bag v'excrescences, niiscalleU State Govern ments; and our redemption in South Carolina'was still possible, and' waVac complished m J87G. 1 The Northern Democrat who thus came to the rescue of the South iu this most critical hour was Samuel J.'Ran dall, the merchant representative ' of 'Philadelphia; and from that time to the prcseut, the Southern people, who do not forget their friends of their'Hour of need, have felt au attachment for the heroic patriot and statesman, whom gome of the newspaper politicians are vainly trying to slander and traduce, bv accusing of sentiments he never express ed, of acts he never committed, and of votes he never cast. But. the people are stronger than the politicians; and the rnaxim that '?Republics are ungrateful," does not apply to'South Carolina. ' Caii*l*ti>|icy, i?: ? Horn. Our neighbor, tiip Lexington Dispatch. in its last week's Issue, says: ? *'That the Pennsylvania Democrats should" demand the abolition of the in ternal revenue system isnatura!. In the last' Congress. Samuel.). Bandall, ihe ?Democrat, and Win. 17, Kelly, theRe pubheau', fought side by side for repeal. They want to cut off the more than one hundred million'dollars derived from the operation of the internal revenue laws, so as to stamp indelibly upon the policy of the government the abominable pro tective tariff to which both equally subscribe." After condemning Pennsylvania Demo crats for demanding a repeal of internal 'revenue laws so strongly, wc are a little surprised to hear our neighbor saying that the Virginia Democrat*' had adept ly ed "a strong, straightoiit* platform," when they too demanded' the- repeal of \ht internal revenue saystem. Randall hails from Pennsylvania, and that ac counts fbx the milk in the' cocoauut, pi ?" <M ?s_-: The Kews and Courier says that the Boston Post says that a gentleman say's that S^pator Hampton repudiates the in terview recently published by the Phila delphia Press, This sort of vague deni ?f?ground sufficient possibly for our Charleston cotempary to proclaim-to-the world that ''Senator Hampton saj-s be didn't say it." but some of us urebound ?to believe that "he did say it" until we get a denial more direct fibm the Seua tor. What Does the Record Say ? In Its reply to our article, published two weeks ago, the Georgetown Enquir er devote1? nearly two columns. There is nothing in the article tliat we care to notice except the insinuation that this journal is influenced by Mr. Dibble m its utterances on Ihe.tarWfquestion. We are uot surprised at our cotemporary making this charge, as we would judge from the tenor or its long editorial that it was hard pressed for material out of which to construct such a lengthy arti cle. We might reply to this insinuation by asking the Enquire? 11 the Kcirs and Courier formulated Its opinions ea the torhT question because 4,we dr. not r.e mciuber having se3n any remarks by our esteemed cotemporarv" on the subject prior to the attack of the News arid Cou rier on Mr. Dibble. But we make no such charge. We give the Enquirer cred it for being sincere in Us utterances on this as on every other question that may arise. Besides, we do not believe in that kind of newspaper warfare. We believe ni a fair, square, manly fight, and when we are reduced to the extremity ot mak ing such personal chargeB against a brother editor, wo throw up the sponge and retire lrom the field. Having said this much by way of introduction, we will now see how much truth there is in the baseless insinuation made against us by the Enquirer. In speaking of our ar ticle, our cotemporary says: "The Times and Democrat con cludes its article by saying that it is the advocate of Democracy and not of " Mr. Dibble, aud that it would be recreant to its duty if it'failed to raise its 'feeble* voice ngninst making the tariff the leading is sue in 1S84. Our cotemporary has rais ed its ?feeble' voice and we hope tho Democracy is correspondingly grateful. Our cotemporary in doubtless sincere, but we cannot but express our regret that it failed to perceive its 'duty' until Mr. Dibble had declared his intention to vote for Randall. At any rate we do not remember having seen auy remarks by our esteemed cotemporary prior to that time expressing views similar to those subsequently announced by Mr. Dibble." It is almost a pity sometimes that the beautiful fabrications of man's imagina tion should be demolished by plain, un relenting truth. How nicely everything fits when we call our imagination into play. ? We build castles one momentand pull them down the next. We have no doubt but that the Enquirer imagined the above charge to be true, but when we tum on the light of truth our readers will discover that like all" imaginary structures it will fall. In our issue of May 3, 1883, in an editorial headed "The Real Issue to be Met," we said: 4 The most important thing for us is the election of a Democratic President in 1884, and to accomplish this we can't afford to drive from us a single vote, and a 'tarill for revenue only plank would baud over all the pivotal States to the Republicans. Let us act cautiously in the matter, and not throw away the bright prospects that are justahead of us to satisfy the ambition of any man or set of men.' Again in the same issue in an editori al headed "Food for Thought," in which we commented on a statement of the editor of the New York Sun that free trade would cause the Democracy to lose several States in 1884, we said: "According to this, 'free trade' would cause the Democracy to lose Louisiana and Georgia, and also New Jersey, New York. Connecticut, and probably Indi ana. ' The loss-of these States would certainly defeat the Democracy. In dis cussing this questiou the American Reg ister says, aud we commend its utter ances to the nien?jMfi^eJiarfcK who gee m_ de ten uinjjjfl Wwfehiu0" ^^^couIdpJHqJJI HpHWBfffrom our columns, but the above is sufficient to disprove the charge of the Enquirer, when it is known that Mr. Dibble did not announce his intention of supporting Mr. Kaudall until sometime in the early part of July. Our esteemed cotempora ry will notice that we did perceive our ??duty" sometime before "Mr. Dibble had declared his intention to vote for Kandall," and that we are still raising our "feeble" voice against the Democra cy committing suicide in 18S4 by making the tariff the lcadiug issue. The Public Road*. Senator Butler has completed his series of articles on the Road question. Tho gist of the whole matter is, thai he suggests the levy of a capitation tax of one dollar on each person liable to road duty, and the organization in each Coun ty of a paid working force under a sal aried supervisor. The great difficulty in this plan, it seems to us, will be the collection of this extra head tax. Many would pay it, while others would set off or run the State to expense for its col lection. Besides this, it is said that this extra tax would be in conflict with the Constitution, which declares that the poll tax shall not exceed one dollar aud shall be devoted to educational purposes. Might not Scnal or Butler's idea be car ried out with the p.escnt system so modified as to make the payment, of the tax cither iu money or work optional, but requiring the law to be carried out strictly to the letter under heavy pen alties in case ot default? We also en dorse the plan of the Xewbcrry Observer lor holding County Conventions to dis cuss the matter for the enlightenment and guidance of our Representatives in their legislation. The crops arc now, or soon will be. laid by and our farmers will have time to consider the subject. The question will uudoutedbly come up In the next Legislature, and it is important Unit it should be fully and satisfactorily discussed by our people before the meet ing of that body. Tax Luxuries not. Noct'.ssitrlos. In our opinion the Virginia jlomn crate have made a great mistake in de claring squarely for the abolition of the whole internal revenue system, if it means, as it must, the removal of the tax on whiskey, beer, tobacco, cigars aud such luxuries. Wc believe that it is just and fair to raise money for the support of government by taxing luxu cries, and not the necessaries of life that the poor man must. have. We know that the object of the Virginia Demo crats is to do away with (he nuisances of the internal, or rather infernal, sys tem. But it must be done iu a better way than by the infliction of such an in justice as this. Money has to be raised mr government. If you dou't raise it by taxipg luxuries, you will have to raise it by taxing necessaries. We are opposed to doing this any more than is absolutely necessary. Let those who are most able, and who have most at stake, pay most Into the public treasury. People who can afford to smoke tine cigars and drink whiskey are able to pay the tax, and ought not to mind doing it, Jeffcrso.; Davis published in the Phila delphia Times oi Wednesday a pungent reply to Judge Jere Black's reputed ''Secession Secrets-" Between two such combatants the fur will fly. A l'lna for the Girl?. Mr. W. S. Hall.' writing m the News and Courier. presents very strongly the claims of the girls upon the State for higher education. Tie says: * I would like to a?k why it is we appropriate an nually $32,100 for the free education of the boys and not one cent for the.girls?" Of couse, he refers here to higher educa tion. He also says: 4\A. large per cent, of the teachers of the State are females, and it is a well known fact that almost evcrv man who has attained auy distinc tion attributes his success to his moth er's training." It has been said by many able thinkers that as the mother trains the children of the household, and her influence is thus incalculable upon the world, the education of the girls de serves prior attention to that of the boys. Mr. Hall's letter is strong and deserves consideration. Tlie Rcstl Issue. We commend the following article to - th"( careful perusal of our readers. It is from tlie Amsrcan Register, tho central organ of the Democracy, published at Washington, D. C. This paper is high ly indorsed by the Democratic Senators and Congressmen, and Its utterances are therefore entitled to consideration : The Democratic party is preparing to enter another presidential campaign. In terviews are had here and there; opin ions are expressed upon this man and that; lines of policy foreshadowed, and all the movements which iudicate great political commotion are evident to the most casual observer. There is a per ceptible seeking and a great demand for the leading issue. One is certain it must be this, and another is equally positive that it must be something else; one in sists that measures are demanded,, and . the other, that the need of the hour is men, born leaders, who can sway and in fluence popular opinion. The most nu merous crowd are they who insist upon the tariff as the great issue?some want ing to leave it as it is, some wanting moderate protection and some others as much of it as the party will stand, but all are firmly persuaded that unless there is an issue there Is no use in making a fight. Has it ever occurred to the Democrat ic leaders that there is au issue now be fore the country, and one that has at tracted public attention for some time, an issue grander and broader than mere questions of tariff constructions or the abstract considerations of purely econo mic measure^, an issue that the fanner in the West and the mechanic in tlie East thoroughly understand, although they mav know little of the science of government ? There is such an issue; it is wider aud deeper than all others, and it may be expressed in a few words: Democratic control because of Republi can greed and corruption. View it as you may, and argue it as you please, this is tho real issue; all others siuk by comparison. It is the one issue which the country can understand and upon which the battle may be safely fought. Back of idl the broken promises, the hon eyed words ot reform, and the moral spasms of the party of ideas aud progress, lies this.one controlling, dominating aim, and that is party power. For this, any reform is promised, auy pledge made, or any position assumed. It vitalizes every issue, galvanizes every promise, and in fuses life and vigor into every campaign. The reality of the present lends strength; the prospect of the future inspires hope, and together they open tiie sate of the i apitalist and the heart of the ambitious, until the sinews of war flow iu streams, and the excitement of party conflict wid ens into the acclaims of victory. Over all the qualms of conscience which honest men may feel; over all the demands which reformers may make; and over all the break: aud bolts which independence may organize, is heard the slogau of par ty strife and the watchword of party con flict. It is always aud ever the same, ??public plunder." This is inscribed upon its banner, and by this sign they conquer. In this common aesire all fac tions mingle nndnlUprms of belief agree. Half-Breed, and the Free trader and the Protectionist sink their differences for the party good. Platforms are nothiug: the past is a blank aud the future a ques tion, but the duty of the hour is success. If any thing is popular it is praised and accepted; if questioned, no position is taken, but the party is always all thiugs to all men for success. The soldier is re membered by patioticmenrion; the negro placated by renewed assurances; the capi talist interested by secret pledges; the laborer quieted by liberal promises, and m every method and by every ineaus known to political strategy, points arc made and positions won, until, merged into one struggling mass, the party, intent upon a single aim, aud that success, moves forward to conquest aud victory. Against the victorious legions of the Ite pulican party, plentifully supplied with arms and amunition, and entrenched in the power and plunder of a long and cor rupt reign, it is useless to fulminate edicts or prcseut issues. Well dcfiue.d princi ples ot* policy may serve as staudards around which the thoughtful may rally, but the moving, propellmgjpo wer must bo the defeat and overthrow of the enemy. True principles of Democracy as disting uished from centralism, viz: individual liberty, home rule aud honest govern ment, are enough for the common pur pose, and amply sufficient for party decla ration. The common people, the working masses, have neither time nor patience to fathom the mysteries of tariff and finance, but they know what personal liberty means and what honest government in dicates. Let Democratic restoration be the aim, and considerations of public policy the object. Let the aim be first to overthrow, aud the object afterward to reform. This is the platform the peo ple want aud for which the popular mas ses are willing to battle. Let us not confuse the public mind with many dec larations, nor puzzle the people with nicely drawn distinctions upon political economy. The issues are already joined. They are known and read of all men, and are, in a word, whether the liberty living doctrines of the Democracy shall prevail, or the country remain in the power of those, who have abused its con fidence and been false to their pledges. This is the question of the hour, trans cending in importance all other ques tions, and upon thi3 simple aud naked proposition the country will have to divide. Upon some things there will have to be a compromise ; for there is a diversity of opinion touching some ques tions, but upon the great central idea, the triumph of Democratic principle, there is no division. Every Democrat knows what the party stands for and ad vocates, aud it would certainly not be wise to confuse that large body who are ready to vote with us upon the simple proposition of a change of rulers by drag ging in a lot of issues certain to lead to disagreements and doubts. The coun try was carried in 1S7G by the cry of Democratic reform, and it can be carried next year by the staighlforward procla mation of Democratic doctrine. This antagonizes no special interest nor sec tion. 11 means freedom and good gov ernment for nil, and every man who wants to sec this restored again will range himself upon the Democratic side. Let the men nominated be the pledge of reform, and tlie principles of the party the platform. With meu whose devo tion to Democracy cannot be questioned aud whose administration can be safely relied on to bring about an era of good feeling aud public confidence, the party may appeal to the votiug masses for sup port, aud enter the campaign with all rcasouablc hope of success. Indeed, with nothing fo produce division and every thing to encourage harmony, the Demo cratic party may hope for such au acces sion of popular strength as will settle iu advance the result of the struggle, The J3oston Herald thinks President Arthur may be nominated next year, biit that ??his ejection would be an impossi bility in any condition of affairs that is likely to exist," > ? . . ? .?? ?

A North Carolina man has partly solved the problem by swallowing a paper of them and comming suicide. The Hartford Courant publishes a let ter over the signature of Judge D. C. Birdsall, in which he announces himself as the author of the charges that Hancock was defeated by Tilden, and reiterates the charges. John Robinson, the porter of the first National Bank of Charleston, who gained great credit live years ago by catching a thief who was running off with $30,000 of the Bank's bonds, has been delectediu stealing a package of $1,000 himself. ! It has been fiambeauantly staled that Mrs. Langtry was enthusiastically receiv ed by the Prince of Wales. The Prince is the Fred Gebhard, of England,. with all the modern improvements. It seems to be a matter of small consequence how Mrs. Laugtry's husband received her. As an evidence of the growth of public opinion in North Carolina on the subject of education, a Raleigh newspaper men tions that Elder T. K. Brown, of Bun combe couuty, has arranged to enter himself aud six of his children in Judson College at the opening of the session in September uext. Domestic infelicity seems to be quite prevalent in Philadelphia. There are now pending in the Courts of that city ninety-two applications, for divorce, and the indications are that 1883 will witness more legal cutting of the marriage tie in the City of Brotherly Love than has any previous year. Tho A'ncen Recorder says: "The Rev. G. W. Manly, former pastor of the Atkcn Baptist Church, has wrutteu a letter to inteudant Quitman Davis, dat ed Leipsie, Germany. July 23d, asking for paperc to establish his identity, so that he can prove to the police that he Is uot a dynamite conspirator.*1 There is a prospect of a row in New York over the grave of Dennett, theiufi del.

The Keutucky election does net indi cate that the Bourbon democracy has lost its grip on the Bourbon State,, 50, 000 majority does tolerably well for an oll'3-ear.

The telegraph strike is probably virtu ally at an end. It is said that the lead ers* of tho Brotherhood have decided to give up the fight, and advise their men to make whatever terms they can. This is denied, but the signs all indicate a immoral weakening. Strikers have returned iu Augusta and several in New York have also gone to work. The cutting of wires continues in the West.

A dog belonging to Richard Ulrich of the Greenville Schuetzcn Park, Jersey City, on Tuesday, bit Mr. John Piercy, and the latter demanded that the dog should be killed.

Eight months ago John Gouton. of Everson, Pa, swallowed a small lizard while drinking water at a spring. It oft en came up in his mouth, and gave him much trouble. On Friday, he fasted for twenty-four hours, after which he ate a handful of salt, and laid down beside a pail of water. The lizard came up into his mouth. He closed his teeth on it, grasped it with his hand, and threw it to the ground. It was five inches long. Two children,aged two and three years, arrived at Louisville,Ky., last week from the interior of England, having been sent out to rejoin their parauts, aud making the journey of over 4.000 miles unattend ed. Tags bearing the address of their father were attached to them, and all the agents of the steamship and railroad companies had successfully exerted themselves to make the journey comfort able and safe for the young travelers. The Barnwell People says : "We re spectfully ask the newspapers of the Tariff Issue Syndicate for more argu ment aud less assertion. They say with supreme dogmatism that the "next cam paign must and will be fought on the tarift issue; that it is the only safe plat form for the Democracy, and on any other it will meet a merited defeat. Give us, we pray you, gentlemen, a few facts and not so much rhetoric. Let us know the grounds of your faith. We and the people are willing to go with you, if you will convert us, but. under your present style of preachingjthe prospects for a re vival arc mighty slim." Daniel Conroy, of Erie, Pa., who be came insane over the fifteen puzzle two years ago and was committed to the asy lum, was released on his supposed recov ery. On Thursday,while working on the tower of the new cathedral. 135 feet from tiie ground, Conroy became furious over a trivial matter, and after threatening to throw a fellow workman down from the to Wer. proceeded to put his threat into execution. A terrible struggle ensued, aud the men rolled and tumbled about on the narrow scaffold until Conroy was overpowered by the other workmen w ho arrived just iu time to prevent both from being dashed to pieces at the base of the dizzy height. Rlvlcre was In command of the Fren ch troops that made a sortie at Tonquin last mouth. The command was ambushed, surrounded and cut to pieces by the Black Flags. During the relreat.Riviere was knocked over by a bullet. The rem nant of his men refused to leave him, and stopped to fight about his prostrate body. Jacquin, Captain of Marines, stood beside Riviere, who called to him that the men would all be killed if they attempted to carry him off. "There is only one thing to do* Jacquin," said Riv iere, "Blow my brains on I. and let the men go back." Jacquin obeyed and al most immediately fell dead himself. The few remaining French soldiers then cut their way out. Tom Hamilton, the black Democrat of Beaufort, whose desertiou of the Radical Legislature in 187G helped the Democrats so much, has written a very strong letter to the News and Courier regarding the relatious of the colored man to the Re publican party. He urges that even it tho negro owed a debt to the Republicans he has fully paid it by twenty years of devoted service, aud directs attention I? the fact that the only two colored men in the state holding important offices are Postmaster Wilder, of Columbia, who is kept in his place by Senator Hampton, and Lieutenant Fordham, of the Charles ton police, who has been elected and re elected time and again by Democratic Boards of Aldermen, Of the 150 white Republicans in this State, he says. 130 hold offices, while most of them did the very thing he is denounced for doing aacj went over to Hampton in '76. lie di rects attention to the improved education al facilities, given to the colored people by the Democrats and the robbery of the school funds by the Republicans, and says the only white men who attended aud aided the colored normal school re cently had at Columbia were Democrat. Charleston's Centennial.' Monday was Charleston's Centennial Day. and it was celebrated in a style in every way becoming the grand old "City by the Sea." The day was ushered in with the familiar chimes of St. Michael's bells pealing forth upon the morning air in sweet and delightful music. Every train brought visitors' from the country, and soon the streets presented a scene of unusual life and gayety with new and joyou3 faces, and bright and attractive bunting floating from the windows on all the important streets. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the exercises commenced at the City Hall. Here portraits and relics of antiquity connected with the history of the city were on exhibition. Among the portraits was one of Hon. Richard Hutson, the first Intendant of Charles Town, which was furnished for the occasion by a citizen of Orangeburg jn whose family it has been preserved for over a hundred years. The Centen nial poem composed by Pau! H. Hayne was beautiful and well sustained the re putation of the sweet Southern poet. -Mayor Courtenay then closed with a full and able oration, giving an interesting history of the old city. Gov. Thomp sori, Lieutenant-Governor Shepard. and many other prominent men, were pre sent. In the evening, the crowd enjoy ed the most magnificent display of lire works ever witnessed in the city. The day was one long to be remembered and well worthy of the celebration that was given. Charleston has passed through many eventful scenes in the past cen tury. We only hope that a glorious fiirture is in store for her. ??? 11 13 It Right ? Our high officers, in the Federal scr vice especially, are .paid enormons sal aries to attend to certain public duties, and yet they think nothing of leaving these duties to go fishing,' hunting, or on any pleasure-seeking expedition they may fancy. They da not seem to realize that they.are paid fop-their timc,and that lb belongs to the people. There is no objection to reasonable recreation, but a wholesale abandonment of the offices by all hands at the same time for weeks and months seems to us to be trilling with public charges. The following will give an idea of the absenteeism at head quarters at Washington at the present time: -The President and Mr. Lincoln have gone on a jaunt to Yellowstone Park, with no intention of returning to Wash ington before the early part of Septem ber. Judge Gresham has accompanied them part of the way. Mr. Teller is in Colorado, looking after his fences and his future. Mr. Folgcr went to the Louisville Exposition, after having just returned from a visit to the interior of New York. Brewster, Attorney-Gener al, established himself at Long Branch before the general exodus from Wash ington began. Mr. Chandler has been to Concord for several weeks, trying to elect himself Senator. Mr. Frelinghuy scn has been rusticating iu New Jersey for a month or more, leaving the De partment of State in charge of his young son-iu-law, John Davis." County Convention?. The Newberry Observer says: "It would be a good idea, we think, for the fanners in every County in the State to hold county conventions for the purpose of discussing the public road laws, with a view to devising some better plan for securing good roads. They have more practical knowledge of^the subject than any other class of citizens, because it is a matter that comes directly under their observation and experience. There will no doubt be some legislation on this sub ject at the next session of the General Assembly; and conventions of this kind would go far towarda^haprng such legis lation intelligently.' Now, while far mers have comparative.'leisure, would be a good time to bold such conventions.'' j ?

The Newberry.Observer tsays: "The Democratic Conventions of the States of Virginia, Ohio*- and ^Pennsylvania have all declared in favors of a -tariff .for re venue, with' incidental protection. Sen ator Hampton; according to a- reported interview in the Philadelphia Press, entertains similar views; and states that such is the opinion of the -people of. the State on the subject of the tariff. Then where is the sense of all this-talk in cer tain quarters about "free trade ?" That's what we would like to know. It is said that the remains of Noah's Ark have been found by some Turkish Commissioners on Mount Ararat. It corresponds to the dimensions of the Ark as described in Scripture. The natives, it is said, were afraid to ap proach it on account of a spirit of fierce aspect that was seen looking out of one of the upper windows, but the Turks were not afraid and entered. It will dqubtte68 be removed to some Ameri can museum. The Abbeville Medium says: "The tariff cannot be a national issue. It will split the Democratic party. The weak in the faith will go helter-skelter into tiie folds of the Radical party and the friends of the Constitution and of liberty will be utterly undone." That is the whole thing in a nutshell, and is the reason why so many good Democrats oppose its "being runde the leading issue in 1884. The Augusta Chronicle says: In a speech, in the Senate, forty-six years ago, John C. Calhoun,rebuking the Abolition ists, said: "Emancipation itself would not satisfy these fanatics?that gained, the next step would be to raise the negroes to a social and political equality with the whites." This was considered the rav ing of a madman at the time of utterance. It was really the prediction of a seer. Married, On the 24th of June, 1883, by Rev. J. S. Hayden, Mr. D. W. Houck to Miss M. D.

Pilgrimages in those days were no doubt as beneficial as in our own modern times, and travel is, as it always has been, an admirable remedy for over-fastidiousness and prejudices. One who never leaves his own country is invari ably full of prejudices, which visits to other lands remove and give character and a lib erality to our knowledge. Pilgrimages in shopping are also beneficial. Sedentariness is as hurtful as disease, and those who stay at home and continually trade in a narrow circle read; but one page of the history of the shopping world, which is now a great book. To see THEO. KOHN'S GREAT EM PORIUM would be equal to reading an in teresting chapter of a picturesque book.
