The oldest delegate to the Democratic National Convention this year is Dr. Uriah Terrill, of Virginia, who is ninety-two years of age, served in the war of 1312, entered politics in Jackson's campaign, and went first to-a National Convention as a delegate in 1844, to vote and work for Henry The Chicago Tribune says: 4'Senator Hampton entered the Baltimore & Potomac depot in "Washington early Saturday morning,-bringing with him a case of his famons fishing tackle.

Evins is a valuable, public man, and we eon fidently look to see him Governor of South 'Carolina, should his health be restored. Bt. aixe is called the "plumed knight" of Maine, and the reason is this: When Colonel Ingersoll nominated him for President in 1876 at Cincinnati, after referring to his discnssion - of the amnesty bill in Congress, he nsed these words: "Like an armed warrior, liked a plumed, knight, James G. Blaine marched down the halls of the American Congress and threw his shining lance fall and fair against the brazen forehead of every defamer of his country and maligner of its honor. There is some little food for thought in the following observations taken from the Chicago Jnter-Ocean (Kepvblican),and we hope the Democrats will begin to think: The truth is that the party never took a positive position in all its history, except under Southern lead. Not ' a solitary exception to this rule can be pointed out. The^SForthern Democrats have been the embodiment of conservatism. Whatever new departures have been taken by the party have been taken under Southern leadership. The gray tissue of the party has been sup__ piied by the South, the inertia by the North. General John B. Gordon is the j favorite of a leading Northern journal for the Presidency. It^ivs: If the Democracy ever intends to nominate to a national office an exConfederate soldier, its most brilliant type will.be Gen. John B. Gordon. He will be one of the most striking personages at the convention. He has the bearing of a soldier, and is eveninch a man. He carries in his cheek the savage marks of war in a huge scar which nearly carried his life away. It was the Lost of five wounds which he received in one day, auy one of which might almost have been fatal. He was almost called back to life by the nursing of a faithful and devoted wife, one of the noted women of Southern politics, who is his constant companion. The Toccoa (G-a.) JFeios has a singular story about Samuel J. Tilden and his sister. It it to the effect that Mrs. Minnie Kilpatrick, widow of GeR. Thomas Kilpatrick, and a sister i of Mr. Tilden, passed turougn xoccoa, a few da>s ago, bound on a torn* through the Southern States.

The reason assigned for this was that he was too old and : feeble for the active and exhaustive . duties of public life. Tiie Charlotte Observer says that ! Lula Ilurst, the Georgia wonder, who astonished people recently by her re- ; 'markable exhibitions, and has drawn crowded houses and raised a great excitement on her Northern tour, had a rousing- time at Wallack's theatre a few nights since. Dr. Foster interrupted the performance by saying that it was a fraud and he wp . v 1 to expose . it. A fat man took a seat in the chair and Dr. Foster announced that he would do what Miss Lula had done. He did it. He put both hands against the side of the chair. The one toward the spectators was passive aud idle, as had been that of the wonder, but the other one, not in sight, grasped the chair with a firm grip, and with great ease threw the fat man on the floor, just as Miss Lula's right hand had done. Then the crowd yelled more and Miss Lula's agent inaue a motion to retreat, but was prevented by the men on the stage.

The New York Sun thinks that thus far the Administration has not shown the least desire to promote the success of the Republican ticket. Close friends rvf Mr. "Rlaiiift rtn not- r.nneeal their dis satisfaction at this lukewarmness. Nor do they refrain from accusing the President, personally, of coolness to ward the nominations of his party. The only sign ot favor given at Washington was the telegram from the President, announcing in formal terms that he would snpport Mr. Blaine because be was the regular candidate. This cold comfort is not acceptable to fhp pnfhnsijistfr. mftRjLcers who arfi ruiming the campaign, who have proposed to make it lively with the aid of the Administration, and who have a large stake on the success of their efforts.

JLUUWU) IMAV/J v free to say more generous treatment might be expected from a Democratic President than from Blaine, who is full of bitter resentment against the Administration and its chief supporters. Mr. Blaine was quite willing and even anxious to get favors for his family, from the President, and to billet sons, brothers and cousins of several degrees on the Treasury.

"Why, then, should tne President or the Cabinet go out of the way to help Mr. Blaine? They will probably vote for him, but it is asking too much to require them to take off their coats and to unstrap their purses to put an open enemy in the White House. HThoro is nrt onnfirten/v* in oirvVlpc of the Administration that Mr. Blaine can be elected. The reports from the best-informed sources are unfavorable to success. The argument most effective in procuring the nomination at Chicago was that the October State of Ohio would lead off with a great majority, and thus largely determine the result in November. The GermanAmerican citizens hold the balance of power in Ohio. They elected Gov. Hoadly by more than 12,000 majority over Foraker, ander very adverse circumstances, and in an aggregate vote very nearly equal to that of the preceding Presidential election, when Garfield's majority over Hancock exceeded 30,000. This great change in so short a f?me -=-n.5 cantA.I hv the snmnfcnarv legislation, which drove the Germans, who had hitherto been-the mainstay of the Republicans, to the other side. They would not submit to an encroachment on their personal rights, and fchev abandoned nartv to vindicate a principle. What is the present situation? There are seventeen Republican papers published in the German language iu Ohio. They naturally exercise a large influence over that population. Every one of them has declared against Blaine and Logan. Hence, the outlook for the Chicago ticket in that State,?which was the corner of Blaine's ^ strength in the Convention, is by no ; means cheerful. A similar sentiment prevails among the Ger-^n-Americans J in Indiana, Illinois, "Wisconsin, Iowa < and other Western States, which is | also largely shared by those in the ] great Eastern cities. If this vote 1 should be detached from the Republicans, as now seems probable, it is 1 climcuit to discover now tnc loss cau j be made up, without some unexpected , change iu the relations of parties 1 li "11^*? f A Physician's Testimony.

In commenting upon the iction of the State Convention 111 nominating the "old ticket," it says: We do not propose to criticise the action of the Convention, (though wc think it open to criticism in some respects) except to utter our protest in the case of the State Superintendent of Education. Col. Coward is a good man, but he has not proven to be the man for this responsible office. In his acceptance of the nomination two years ago he did so with the understanding that he was to continue his school at Yorkville. Now we are not saying anything which any thoughtful man does not know when we declare that most of the foundation work of a common schools system in our Suite has xrr*t fn ho and it will reouirc all ^ wv fcv J '? i the time of a first class organizer accomplish it. * * * Col. Coward knows he is not doing for the State what ought to be done in his office, and he ought not to accept the nomination. He, as an educator, knows the defects of our public school system. He knows what we have said is true; and a great deal more might be said along the same line. We can not see how Col. Coward can accept the nomination, unless he gives up his school and determines to devote his whole time and energy to the needed work in this department.

Coward is a good man, but he has not proven himself to be the man for this responsible position" says the writer. We can furnish no more complete and effectual refutation of these charges of incompetency than the simple statement of a bald fact that this is the first complaint yet heard against Col. Coward in the discharge of his official duty. He has been in office nrkur vAiirs. the nress heretofore MV") v " w J ~ 7 xr Las not grumbled, the people everywhere award him a meed of praise for his labor and zeal and schoolmasters, from the mountains to the sea are the zealous advocates of his cause. We ask the Temperance Worker to tell us what he has done and what he has left undone that will- warrant the conclusion that he is unfit to be Superintendent of Education and "ought not to accept the nomination" unanimously tendered him by a convention of the people. We believe that there are no such data. Certainly we are in the position toiuds-eofhis work in our county, and it has gone forward, not backward, and who will charge that he is partial to Fairfied? What he has done here, it is reasonable to believe, has been done with equal efficiency and ability in every county in the State. .

If Col. Coward can do all this and attend to his school in Yorkville, he has a right to do so, the opinion of the Temperance Worker to the contrary notwithstanding. The writer closes by saying, (a fit conclusion to such an arraignment;) "Governor Thompson was doing some good foundation work when he was chosen Governor. "We ought not to let the work stop; it will be worse still to let it continue to go backward as it has begun to do under the halfway superintendency of the principal of the Yorville Military Academy." mv -- J jme omciai recoru ux uuw aiu & work, will compare favorably with that of Governor Thompson, and this is saying a good deal. Now that it has begun, let all the facts be brought to light, and every body , will see and jndge for themselves whether the attack the Worker upon Col. Coward is with or without justification. Simple assertions are - worth but of little save to wound the feelings of good aDd conscientious men, and it is now time to lay them aside and to deal in something of a more substantial character.

The town is building up, where burnt out, and new houses building- in the suburbs for private residences. Many families have moved to town of late with a view to better educate their children. Capt. Pifer has upwards of a hundred pupils in his Female Acade- j my, and the Lutheran College and j other schools are in a prosperous con* dition. Our public roads are in bad condi-, tion. Why not instruct our Legislature to return to the ante-bellum system of having a commissioner to each road division, when each one could better supervise the roads and appoint efficient overseers? The cost to our State would not be so much as under the present system. Two dollars per fn oocl-i mmm?Rsinnpr fbr fivft nv even ten days in the year would be sufficient remuneration. This time is all sufficient to ride over the roads and inspect them, and let out the few bridges in their respective divisions, and ride to the Court House two or three, times cach year. Before our late war we were paid nothing, and did not complain, and I am sure the roads were better worked than now. I know my division was, and we have about the same labor as then, I think. It would be better to raise a small tax for this purpose, and farm out the roads, as they do in many of <?nr States, but the people would kick up at it, I suppose. w. e. Lyles Ford, July 10,1884. MANY THISGS. Messrs. Editors'. Is it consistent in any one. who is so zealous in the cause of "no license" to treat liberally when advocating the claims of a caudidate for any position ? Does it look well for any one of our small clubs to endorse or nominate any one Democrat, when there may be one or more as good Democrats as he nominated? There may be one, five or ten members of that club that don't agree to s$ch nomination or endorsement. Let all go to the paper and come before the members of the several clubs with equal chances. Let the clubs attend to the general welfare of the Democratic party. They will have their hands full. I allude particularly to members of the Legislature, clerk of court and such officers that have to come before the primaries. Little ants make big holes if not mended in time. Let us recollect that in all countries there are always two parties. It seems necessary to dispute. Thanks to the Inmber-headedness of the negro race the lines are at last distinctly drawn. Let them forever stay drawn. It is our safety-valve. We wasted a great deal of time, money and eloquence in the attempt to break this "wall of partition."

"Gentlemen, I almost envy you the positions you fill; your experience of the world; your knowledge of business; the changing sights yon see, and all that, you know." This'warmly expressed regret fell from the lips of an elderly pleasure tourist, last August, ana was addressed to a semicircle of commercial travelers seated on the porch of the Lindell Hotel, St. Louis, Mo. "Yes," responded a New York representative of the profession, "a drummer isn't without his pleasures, hut he runs his risks, too?risks outside the chances of railroad collisions and steamboat explosions." "What risks for instance?" "This, for instance," said Mr. W. D.

Had I a voice that would reach lrom "Atlanta to the sea," I would proclaim the virtue of B. B. B., the only and the greatest Blood Purifier on earth." One of the prominent Druggists of Atlanta uses the following language: . "We have been handling B. B. B. only a rew months, and take pleasure in saying it is superseding all other Blood Remedies. It sells well, gives our customers entire satisfaction, and we cheerfully recommend it in preference to any other Blood Purifier." Dr. T.

B. is curing more cases of Blood Poison, Skin Diseases, Scrofula, Old Ulcers, Kidney Affections, etc., than all other, remedies combined. As a Blood remedy, speedy, safe and cheap, it has no equal, and we hold proof that cannot be controverted.

Or if you will call at W. H. Brotlierton's store and consult Mr. W. M. Cheshire, he will tell you that B. B. B. effected a cure on him that you would hardly believe.

In August, 1881, nearly three years ago, my son, who was at that time living at Clinton, Ga., came over to see me with the sad intelligence *that his wife was in the last stages of consumption and that her {nijdiuum iiau piuiiuiuiucu nci woe uuycess.

She was coughing and spitting incessantly, and at times would discharge from her lungs a Torero rmnirH'frv nf rmc nr matter?n.rmln Tint sleep or retain anything on her stomach, and waSj in fact, in the last stages of the disease. This was about the time you began to advertise Brewer's Lung Restorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three bottles were procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we commenced giving it to her in small doses, gradually increasing the quantity until the prescribed dose was reached- She hpcran tn imnrnvp after a fpw rinsps and continued to do so daily, until she was finally restored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than ever before. She is subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Restorer (which she is never without) relieve her immediately. I consider her restoration to perfect health a miracle, for which she is indebted to Brewer's Lung Restorer.

Kot long since a Northern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this cure and was induced by my son to give it to his invalid wife, and she was cured as if by magic. Mr. Charles Eden, of Trinidad, Colorado, says: Seeing certificates of the wonderful cures made oy Brewer's Lung Restorer, I was induced to try it on my little son, -who was troubled with lung or throat affection, pronounced by one physician, consui^p-. tion. It acted wonderfully on him, and by the time he had taken orie"L>ottTe of it the cough disappeared.
