A "Washington special io the New York Herald says: "The report comes from New York and was repeated on the floor of the House to-day, among Kepublicans as well as Democratic members, that Mr. Tilden says he will ^unconditionally accept the nomination of the Democratic Convention. Fully conscious of his infirmity. he savs .that he is willing to die as its nominee." ~ A. stan in Delaware stole an umbrella and his sentence is to pay the costs __ of prosecation, a fine of six doliars, one hoar in the pillory, twenty lashes * and'three vears in jail.

The Washington Post's advices are that Mr. Samuel J. Tilden is not a candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination, and. be will not accept it for himself; but he will accept it for Mr. Henry B. Payne, of Ohio, and it is to seenre a Tilden convention which can be transferred to Mr. Payne that the Tilden energies are now being directed. Sheriff Spoffokd, of Chesterfield county, has tendered his resignation as chief executive officer of that county, and the grand jury win present no bill against him. Solicitor Newton has very wisely concluded to give ont no bill against Colonel S. B. C. Cash for . complicity in the murder of Richards. Bogan is dead now, the old man left alone, and humanity demands that he should be allowed to depart in peace. ? General J. B. Gordon, who is taking an active interest in raising fouds to establish a home for disabled Confederate soldiers at Richmond, Virginia, received a communication a few days ago from the Rev. Dr. Taltnage enclosing certified checks for $260, winch, -the latter said, had been . sent to him by a miner at Denver, CoL The miner asked Dr. Talmage to give it to the cause of God. The Rev. Dr. Talmage says he divided the money into two parts. One part he sent to fhe ^'Emergency fund," Brooklyn, for the relief of disabled Northern soldiers, the other part to General Gordon for the Confederate Soldiers' Home, The Washington correspondent of * the News and Courier says that at the Pr eacrat capital air. f lower, or .New York, is the second choice of those - who are crying for the -"old ticket.' He can be confidently relied upon, tbey belie' e, to bring- oat a larger vote than either Governor Cleveland or Mr. Borsheiiner. The News and Courier savR fcditnri&llv of thft nhove statement: "What Mr. Flower has done to cause v Democrats to rally around his standard" lias not been chronicled in the political history of recent years. His name is associated with no work of reform \ his pubKc acts hare been of no particular importance: his ability as an Executive has yet to be proved. On the other hand, Governor Cleveland has - made a record as a Reform Governor which has won for him a place among the foremost men of the times. Is it because Mr. Flower is rich that he is' . so aear co uie xuaen wmg 01 tne Democracy? Do they desire to nominate him on the streogth o~ his money bags? We doubt that he is stronger in the Empire State than Governor Cleveland. He certainly is not so ' strong outside of the Empire State/' A JaJC# aUft.Tl ,jLJU JL m. u m. ja? Speaking of the State Normal Insti- ! tote to be held at Spartanburg next month, the Carolina Spartan says: Every teacher who can possibly spare the time and money should attend the In- j stitute in Spartanburg. Board may be ob- ) ?ttn. tallied in private families at four dollars a < t-ii m i-i week for the session. It will be little t higher at the hotels. The railroads gener- ( ally give reduced rates to teachers. The < Institute wiH begin the 15th of J uly and 1 continue four-weeks. A Secretary will be appointed, who will make all arrangements j as to the securing of board. The fallow- j ine are some of the reasons why teachers i should attend: VC/" 1st Teachers who are not perfect can leani something. 2d. They will be the better prepared to work after old" plans or to make new ones. 3d. The teacher's work tends to isolate him from his fellows and the community. One session at the Institute "will draw him out and bring him into sympathy and harmony with others engaged in the same work. 4th. They will have more exalted opinions of their profession and work. 5th. Spartanburg is a delightful place to fipend a- month or two in the summer. Goovl water, mineral springs, fine drives, pleasant nights and a bracing air make the ' place attractive. . , 6th. An excursion to the mountains will be made during the session. This is a. , revelation of wonderful scenery, especially to persons who have never been in the mountains. Special rates are given to those who wish to run up on the Asheville 1 road on Saturdays and return Mondays. 7th. In a few words, it may be said that the teachers' meeting in Spartanburg this year, will be furnished with ample means for improvement, recreation and social enjoyment." The daily lectures by the rega- lar faculty, the special lectures by distinguished educators, and the teachers' meet-, ings will furnish an amount of valuable information that will compensate one for the time an money spt nt in coming to Spartanburg. Let there be a grand rallying of the teachers of the State. It will do them good. Noue can deny the many advantages of the Institute, and it is hoped that the meeting in July will be more largely attended than any previous one. The faculty has been chosen with special reference to their experience in the several branches upon which they will lecture, and their instructions will prove alike interesting and profitable. We trust there will be a large dele gat ion of teachers from Fairfield. THE GHOST OF THB?\. The great hue and cry all over the country for the renomination of Tildeu and Hendricks is certainly one of the impenetrable mysteries of modern politics. Row it is that thoughtful men can honestly entertain the opinion for a moment, that the renomination of the "old ticket" is necessary to the salva tion of the party, is also anexplainable upon auy hypothesis, to us conceivable. Against Mr. Tildeu, personally, perhaps 110 charge of a damaging character can be established, and he was doubtless the man for the campaign of 76, (though this is denied by many.) But the times and the surroundings have materially changed-, and the issues before the American people demand standard-bearers of a different tnnnl/1 > IfTildeu were again placed in the field, the great fraud of 76 would dwarf all other questions, and questions too of greater moment and importance. There was in 1880 a great ~v.V?'^ tie gpon that issue, <;nd perhaps it would have beea wise then to have placed Tilden an i Hendricks in the lead again, but the Convention let the chance slip by, and Hancock and English led the grand old party to defeat and crushing disaster. Hence we say let the fraud issue sleep forever?it has slept long and soundly and its slumber OUUUiU UUb HIM? LfC VUOVU1L/VU* JL& c* great wrong and fraud was then perpetrated, it has now become a damnum abquc injuria, and the sooner, the Democratic party realizes its truth, the better it will be for the health of ^Jr. Tilden and the good of the couutry. If then the fraud issue is to be relegated to the past, certainty no very strong reasons exist why Tilden should be brought to the front again. The pre eminfent abilit; x the man, and withal, his great public services to the party aiul nation has won for him the gratitude of his fellow-citizens everywhere, but lik physical condition renders his candidacy impracticable and visionary. Besides, in the event of his nomination, : as we have before intimated, no other ? great question than that of the '76 1 fraud could be properly argued in the i campaign and passed upon at the polls, j The issue before the country ( is the tariff, and if the Democratic j party would court victory, it must j selcct for its standard-bearers men who : have been and are now prominently identified with the cause of tariff reform. Mr. Tildcn is perhaps sound on this question, but he has taken no prominent part in its agitation aud discussion and consequently would not be the proper man to lead a tariff reform party. - ; . These, arc oar re&sous for hoping that the National Democratic Conven- j tion will not renominate the "old , ticket." ! THE XEXICAX PESSIOX BILL j The bill for pensioning the surviving veterans of the Mexican war has been * called up in the Senate at last, and } debate upon its provisions beguu. The < several votes taken upon amendments < introduced for the purpose- of killing 1 the bill indicate the fact that it will ! pass the Senate substantially as it j came from the House. There was considerable discussion upon Senator Logan's motion to strike out that part of the amendment proposed by the Senate pension committee, which limits the pension to ex-soldiers and exsailors who are dependent in whole or part on their own labor or on assist ance from others. Seuator Allison said giving a pension to women who should, after the passage of this Act, marry ex-soldiers of the Mexican war would be establishing a precedent that had not been observed as to prior wars. Senator Beck remarked that the youngest of the Mexican veterans was how 62 years old, and if he married at all after that time he would be sure to 5 marry a young woman, and under tfce proposed" amendment wc should have 0 to pay this young woman a pension as iong as she "lived. : Senator Logan inquired why it was assumed that he would marry a young . woman. . 1 Senator Beck replied "Because that 2 [s the rule with old men and the older the man the younger the woman he Bill marry. I would not even trust he old members of this Senate. If'] hey were to marry again, I have no . loubt thev would marry verv young ivomen."* 1 Senator Jackson, supporting the [1 ;ommittee's amendment excluding! < rom pensions men who did not need 11 hem, said he represented as many ( Mexican soldiers as any man in the Senate and he did not believe that 1 pensioning for service was a correct ' principle. Pensions should be given io the wounded, aged and needy. The Senate committee's amendment provided for that. It was no stigma on a ' man's character to say that if he . had 1 income enough to rSnder him inde- < pendent of labor he should not have a ( pension, 1 Senator Blair also defended the committee's amendment. Lo?an, as was to be expected,, opposed giving any pension to soldiers Df the Mexican war who afterwards fought in the Confederate army. ^ Senator Call thought that Mexican soldiers who were rich enough to live without some form of labor were not numerous enough to make it worth while to make them an exception to the bill. He also favored the clause spying pensions to widows who married Mexican soldiers not ouly before the soldiers' discharge but at .any time afterwards. Senator Maxey regretted that the pauper clause had been added to the bill. He was opposed to it and asked how the Hue could be drawn. Senator Morgan in expressing the hope that the bill would pass as it ~ H.1- n?i-S; 3 ? vmiuv iiuui tuu nousej uenvereu au eloquent eulo^ium. on -our.'-Mexican army, which, ae said, had never been defeated. It had added, he continued, 350,000,000 acres, the territory of an empire, to this Republic, yet we were here, dickering with the poor Mexican soldier as to whether we should give him the paltry .sum of a month unless he went clown on his knees and begged for it and produced a certificate of his poverty. Senator Morgan expressed himself as mortified and disgusted at the spectacle presented in the debate. Senator Van Wyck asked if Senator Morgan would give way for a question. Senator Morgan said yes, and" Senator Van Wyck remarked that he would like to-ask . the Senator from Alabaraa a question just at this point, ncn fhot S/?nfifnr had ftO gloomy ?$>out the debate. Senator - Morgan retorted warmly "Don't insult me when you want to ask a question; ask ine your question like a gentleman." - Senator Van Wyck said that there was no occasion for so much feeling on the part of the Senator. He then inquired whether it was just to give a wealthy man wiio had been a Mexican soldier $8 a month and give only that small pittance to" a poor fellow who had aimost to beg his bread in tne street? Senator Morgan thought it would be no cause of complaint to the rich, but would be a great boon to the poor man. Senator Iugalls moved to lay on the table the amendment proposed by the Senate committee restricting the pensions to those who depended on their labor. The motion was agreed to and the amendment laid on the tableyeas s?ys 20 One clause-of the bill as it came from the House repeals the section of the TRevised Statutes that prohibits pensions to soldiers who engaged in the rpJipUmn noroinaf fViP FTnited 55tftt.es. bnt ? * 9 - ~ limits the repeal to cases coming under this Act. This featnre of the bill will probably be left as it is by the Senate, i num im I>? linT by that body and signed by the President, the Mexican veterans, Southern as well as Northern, will receive aid and snpport.from the National Government. This is as it should be, and we hope the measure will become a law. FOJtMATIOX JLSD REFOBMA TIOX. Although to the eye the ODly difference between these two words consists in prefixing two letters to the latter, vet iii the- ideas conveyed by them there is a much greater difference. One involves the formation of principles of action, the oiLcr the correction of those principles. One is the formation of habits, based npon such principles, the other is the correction of habits after they hare been formed. Formation is easier, more certain, and more permanent than reformation. In reformation oar. success is far less certain. For here we have to contend with the power of habit?habit enthroned and fortified. Reformation : _* - Ml J3 ll J involves cuaugrag ine win, anu meu furnishing motives sufficiently'strong to direct it into other channels.

Since the reception of my letters they think that the work is not so far off. It is not. It is only a matter of time and space. It makes but little. difference where a person spends his few days of pilgrimage, for it seems that God is now rapidly bringing the ends of the earth together.

I hear them already saying, whatcan I do for Africa? Some people can only see the evil in everything, but that is a true philosophy which sees some good in the dealing Providence.. I caw see the hand of God even in the wrath of man. Did He not say He would make the wrath Of man praiss Him? Has He not convinced us of such in the history of the Jews? Joseph's brothers meant evil in selling Dim in jogypc^oui wu meant it for good; the Romans persecuted the Jews, bat in every city they went they proclaimed, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews!" If I can get any light from the history of the past, it "is-about to repeat itself in our own day and generation.
