The Louisville Post hopes that Mr. Cleveland will make his letter of acceptance short, sharp and decisive. ? Logan's letter of acceptance has now been pnblish.ed, and like Blaine he believes in a high tariff, and says that will be the dominant issne in the campaign. Tae committee to notify Governor Cleveland of his nomination is expected to perform that dnty this week, and his letter of acceptance may be looked for the first or second week in August. . Some of Blaine's boomers trieil to , get the business men of Bangor to give their candidate a certificate of good character, but several leading Republican firms refused to si^n their names to the document. ??? The Western papers, printed where they love an "intense" American, are beginning to ask this questiou: "If Mr. Blaine is the red-eyed son of Thunder and Mars that his friends say he is, how did it happen that he failed , . to hurl himself into the imminent deadly rJnvinff fhp w!ir?" IV ui cavil uuti*<D .. ? Gov. Hoadly's law partner says Cleveland will cany Ohio. He bases ' his confidence largely on the division t among Republicans caused by the temperance question and on the aver: sioir of the Germans to Blaine's prohibition views and spirited foreign \ -"policy.

He was given a bomb-proof titration in Augusta, Me.? which he kept vrutil .ho was put in jail for selling bogus exemption certificates to urartet: men. There will be no reference to this in .Logan's letter. The only ground, it seems, taken against Col. Coward by the Newberry Obseirer, is bis failure to visit the different counties. An examination of the records of the Superintendent's ' office since 1876 must, we think, convince the Observer that it must seek higher evidence on which to condemn the present Incumbent as au inefficient officer. -* ? ' - ? * ? . Charlotte Observer: Gen. Long * street was one of the few Confederate JSwr*"' " soldiers of any note who went over to the Republican party after the war. He has followed it ever since and rendered it all the service he could. But s-? now he steps down and out of the office of United States marshal of tbe northern district of Georgia on charges of incompetency and carelessness. He let his crooked deputies get away with him. What a humiliating ending of a once brilliant career. The Abbeville Fress and Banner charges Colonel Coward with having "totally neglected" his duties, and says further: "The State Superintendent of Education, in oar opinion, has done literally nothing -exccpt to draw the salary, and to go to Washington where he ex oosed his lack of in for ma tion as to the schools." We think it inav scarcely be said, that Colonel Coward has "totally neglected" his duties, or that 'he* has "done literally nothing" bnt draw his salary aud make a trip to Washington. In using such language the Press and Banner shows one of two things?an ignorance of the mean- j ing of common English words, or a deliberate purpose to do injustice. In cither view the paper cannot be regarded as a competent censor of public f officials in bourn uaronna. Secretary Teller, it is given out, is to make speeches in the South in the hope of bringing that section to a realization of what it has already lost by refusing to give its allegiance to the Republicans and what it may gain by /?Am"no nAtP Kofni'o ?f K ocpr V* V* MVM j W*V4 v AW *V WT V? lastingly to late. The Philadelphia Times says that this is the first visible outward sign of the administration's position In the coming campaign. Bnt the conclusion shonld not be reached' too rapidly that it is a movement in favor of Blaine. On the surface it is, but in reality it is a conspiracy to augment the Democratic majority in every Southern State into which Teller may penetrate for the purpose of making. speec! e3. If anything ought to make the people of Che South vote as a unit would be such stupid, coramon? J T jpittce axiu. uiiiue its jlcuci ?i17ays makes. Lieut. Greely's inborn plack is illustrated in the following anecdote related by a comrade of the army: "When a little boy, more than ten years old, Greely visited an uncle on his ferm in Vermont. One day the 1- *-1 2, xl _ j uncie n&u occasion to use ice grinustone, which inay be found in every New England door-yard, and jocosely offered the boy five cents if he would turn the handle for two hours. The offer was accepted and the little fellow began to torn. In less than half an J hour the perspiration poured from him ! ia streams. Fifteen minutes more elapsed and the tears began to mingle with the 'sweat of his brow/ bat he ctiii turned away maniuny. x nen ine i ancle told him to stop, thai he had I turned enongb, and could have the five eewts without more work. Bnt the boy declined to stop and worked away, although crying with fatigue, fie stuck to that grindstone uutil the two hours elapsed, and was laid up for some days afterwards." Tiik Greenville JXeics has renewed its onslaught upon the College, the Citadel and the Columbia canal. The great difficulty in the way of an accomplishment of its desire to destroy two excellent institutions of learning is that ihc sentiment of the State is large Iy in favor of their niaintenar.ee. Long before the News shall succeed in closing the Coliege and the Citadel, the sentiment in their favor will have become positively irresistible. So with the Columbia canal. Whatever differences of opinion may have existed as to commencing the work, it would now be simply throwing away money to stop half way. This point is strong Iy put in a recent able and manly editorial in the Anderson Intelligencer. The opposition to State aid to higher education and to the canal is a favorite Hobby with the Xeiosy but it must needs find a new one now. The country will congratulate itself, as well as the courage and enterprise of such men as Mr. Bennett and Mr. Mackay, on the assured success of the new Atlantic cabie. Teft years ago, the cost of a cable dispatch to or from London was one dollar a word, including address and signature. Now it is reduced one-half or more for business cablegrams, with much greater reduction to the press. The cost of cable telegraphy has been the bar to its general use, just as the cost of ordinary telegraphy iong forbade its gen-, eral employment; but the time is close at hand when all important business between the Old and the New World will be transacted by cable, just as all important business is now transacted by telegraph throughout the Cnited States. With strong and evidently lasting competition with the Western Union in telegraphy at home, as established by the new consolidation on the Baltimore and Ohio railway system, and with new cable lines which can't * - v : 1- x ... ^ De Dougnt or uuuicu ujiu suuunsaiuu, the era of universal telegraphy is about to dawn on the country and incalculable benefits will be realized by the busiuess public. Mr. Blaine's letter of acceptance has been given to the people through the press, and it is receiving handling without gloves. He has audacity enougn to attnouietne "great material progress of the United States" for the past quarter of a century to the administrative ability of the Republican party. Even the increase of our population is, he claims, solely due to Republic-ens, and Democrats had 110 hand in the matter at all. The New York Herald is scathing in its comments upon this document. It says: Then the Plumed Knight and the Republican party took hold and accom= it 1 i pus>ueu luure 111 tweiiiy years man uau beeu achieved in the preceding two and a half centuries. In this short period they increased the populationby twenty millions and more than trebled the value of the national wealth. The agricultural development was marvellous, the growth of commerce prodigious, the spread of industry.amazing,"the prosperity of the people nuparalleled. The progress of invention and discovery was not less wonnerini, ana, 01 course, use ine material growth of the country, was due entirely to the "grand old party." How the telegraph, the steam engine, the cotton gin and other great inventions were perfected before 1860 is a profound mystery. Of course, some things have occurred since the accession^ the Republican party that are not in the nature of blessings. There have been panics, hard times, epidemics, disasters, corruption and woes of everv sort. But for these and all other evils the Democrats are responsible. No o?e can ponder on these things without wondering what a prodigious nation the United States would be to-day if the Republican party,, with the tattooed man, had only come upon the scene about the time that CmifK A* A T n TyJftTTT Af TT?

XU liV M V* 4IUV 1/liW party has accomplished in the way of national progress in so short a time, it is simply impossible to calculate what it would have achieved in two hnndred and fifty years. And President Arthur has at last called for General I^ongstreet's resignation. It is said that he was charged with carelessness and inefficiency i'the discharge of his official duty, and that Attorney-General Brewster demanded his immediate removal. One Brvant was the roan who suDDlanted the Confederate chief. A correspondent of a leading New York journal writes: General Longstreet taking his departure from the marshal's office presents a picture that is somewhat pathetic. The old warrior is routed by a political oppouent. To the last he had faith that he would keep the position, and he -might have done so naa ine ionunes 01 errant >y am oeen less fickle, (general Longstreet stated several weeks ago that he was anxious to spend the sere and yellow of his life in retirement, but that he needed the pay of his office for the education of his children. Bat the fortunes of others demanded his removal, and he passes from this sphere of action to give way to a more lively rival. There are various reasons given for flio ffimrtvol Tf ie I uuv A Vi<uv > Vi 1/iiV VUVifUl JLV AO charged that the duties of his office have been managed iu a manner extremely objectionable to the Department of Justice. Various examiners have reported recommending his re- j maval, and it is said the Attorney-! General demanded it. The Springer Investigating Committee developed damaging testimony against the General. Many disallowances were made in his accounts, som2 of his deputies were convicted 01 rendering iaise returns and a number of prisoners have escaped under his management. In addition is the fact that the General did not have * his accounts to suit the department in the custom house. It is doubtless true that this had much to do with the action of the President. This is a sad fate to befall so brilliant and distinguished a mau as General*Lougstreet, but after all it is nothing more than he deserves if the charges preferred against him are grounded on trr.th. If he had served his country in peace with half the zeal be did in war he would not have been forsaken in his old age. COLO\?L COWARD AS SUPEBLV TEXDEXT. The Abbeville Press and Banner of last week replies at some length to our recent editorial comments upon the strictures of the Temperance Worker on Colonel Coward. Among other thincrc onr eontemrsorarv savs: "VY'e will be very nyich obliged to the | . J. Winnsboro News axd II era ed if it wilLexplain to the public how any school teacher can comply with these the very first requirements of the law prescribing the duties of State Superintendent of Education. ? ; * * * * * * Colonel Coward may have spent a few days in the year attending the semi-annual meetings of the Board of Examiners, bnt he certainly neglected his official duty to "visit every county in the State." How could he faithfully discharge, the office of Superintendent of Education while teaching school nine months of the year? The most conspicuous act of his official career was that of his famous journey to Washington to testify before the Congressional Educational Committee, where he proved conclusive!}', to our mind at least, that his knowledge of the public, schools and the school system of South Carolina rc-fli: nnnnn#] fi-? flip tick of ftirnishiner the desirec. information. Will somebody explain by what right the Executive Committee contracted with a public officer to excuse him from the duties of his office for nine months of the year?the very nine months in which nearly all the work of his office should be done? By the reuomination of that officer, did not thd Convention ratify an improper trade of'the Executive Committee by which the services of one of the most important officers of the State were lost for nine months in the year? Oar article some weets ago upon this subject contained these points: (1) That there had been up to that time no complaint against Colonel Coward in the discharge of his official duty; (2) That we were in the position to judge of his work in our county, and that the educational interests of the State had gone forward not backward, as asserted by the Worker; (3) That he has performed these duties (having enumerated them above) as well and as faithfully as did Governor Thompson. The official record of Colonel Coward's work will compare favorably with that of Governor Thompson, and this is saying a good deal. "We are now prepared to defend the position we then took, and nothing found in the criticism of .our contemporary proves the contrary to be trne. It is true perhaps as claimed elsewhere in the article under review, "that the superintendent has not, during his official career, . visited any county alone: the line of the Columbia & Greenville Kailroad, although we fhinb hie nffir.ial would establish so ranch." Bat why all this hue and cry against Colonel Coward, j and why this demand for his declination of the trust again committed to him when he has been quite as efficient as his Democratic predecessor in office? Is the present Superintendent to be judged by a more rigorous code of public ethics than others who have occupied th# same important position? We think not. Yet we venture the UUil mai vvivugi vvnoiu uao done his work as faithfully and has visited as many counties as Governor Thompson did, a.nd the latter was generally regarded as an admirable Superintendent, and upon his record in that office he was elevated to the chief magistracy ot' the State. Colonel Coward's official report is not yet out, or at least we haven't it at hand for referencp. but in this connection it would not be out of place to let the public know just how many official visits Governor Thompson made to the different counties during liis terms of office. In his official report for 1876-77 we find that he visited officially seven counties only out" of the thirty-two in the State; in 1876-78 he visited teu counties; in 1878-79, nineteen; in his report for 1879-80 no official visit? are mentioned at all, and we have no official proof that be visited any counties during' that time; in 1881>-82 he visited but eight counties. Now, in the light of these facts, let our complaining brethren of the press await information as to what the present Superintendent has done. If he has done as well, and we believe he has, it is but just and proper that if the- well-done is to be awarded the one, eanal credit should be <riven the other. Now that wc have heard 'i-om the editors, what will the teachers and school officials have to say in the premises? In spite of all that has been said, has the proposition we controverted in the outset been established, to wit: That the public schools have crone backwards nnder Colonel ? ? - o Coward's Superintendeucy? We think not. We have replied to everything in the article of our contemporary we esteem pertinent to the issue, and until the question propounded above be answered, we shall remain silent for a season.
