DOUGLASS,) Governor Cleveland's letter of acceptance will be given to the public now in a few days. It is expected to be sliort, vigorous and to the point. He is said to l>e a writer of good English. There is a United States Senator to be elected in Nevada, this year, to succeed Jones. From all accounts the roan whe puts up the most coin takes the ? prize.

The Abbeville Press and Banner says: The Winnsboro News and Herald thinks that a newspaper which would criticise Col. Coward is an unfit censor of the public officers of South Carolina. No snch opinion has ever been ex pressed iH these columns. The statement of the Press and Banner is withont any foundation. 1 Ex-Gov. St. Joux, the Prohibition candidate, says he expects to get at 80,000 votes in the State of New York. He thinks he will poll a very large vote in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Illinois and Nebraska. In the North he thinks the Prohibition vote will be drawn principally from the Republi- j cans, and will make the result doubt- i ful in some of the Republican States. i t?

Timber of the best quality j an^in the greatest abundance is found all around Yicksburg, and the projec- j tors of the enterprise propose to not only supply home market, but to com- j pete with Western factori0- at impor- j tanl Southwestern points. The editor ot the* New York Free- j - man's Journal has examined Clevc-! land's public recorfl, and, with rather ! l-ntoofonf v*nf / h#K?>tprisHc rtandor. ad- I 1 mits that there is nothing in his political career to prevent Irishmen or Catholics from voting for him. Indeed, the writer rather prefers him to Blaine. This authoritative declaration ought to disabuse the minds of many prejudiced persons who are condemning the Governor withont just cause. The Illinois militia, in camp at Springfield, had a little breeze, occa-^ sioned by the drawing of the color line. A colored company from Chicago was ordered by the adiutaiit General to go into camp with the Second brigade, which is from the same'city. rn' - ?nomn r*?>fl? xne wuite luiliua 1C1U9CU iv vxtuii/ >i ivu the blacks, and so they had to flock off . all by themselves. The anti-belhim spirit of John A. Logan seems to be marching on in Illinois. ? It is said that a man recently appeared in the mineral region of Alabama who exhibited letters from Queen Victoria and other dignitaries certifying that he was worth ?39,000,000. He ^ as going to buy up all creation in that"part of the world, and, for a time, he was the most popular person extant. His dupes were numerous. The bait was eagerly nibbled. After borrow-1 ing forty dollars from one of his victims, the "millionaire" sloped and has never been heard of since. He was not worth thirty-six cents. J - The custom of giving fees, or "tips," as they are called, is said to have be come unpleasantly common 111 Xew York. As appeared from evidence in a recent trial, barbers habitually scrape customers who do not fee them; elevator boys expect tips for accommodating passeugers, drivers of stages not only look for fees of persons who sit on the roof for a smoke, but stop their vehicles near the sidewalk for profitable patrons to get in or out. Conductors ofstaeet cars sometimes accept retainers for informing passengers when a particular street is reached, domestic servants in fashionable families expect fees for the slightest service rendered to guests, and even clerks and ? messengers in some of the great stores need the stimulus of a "tip" to move them to active service in behalf of customers. Dr. Carver is not shooting much with the rifle, because there is more money in shotgun matches. He is going to England in the fall to contend with "Walton, a rich young English man, for S10,000 a side. The Doctor says: Walton is what is called a "mushroom shot"?that is, he will go right along and make splendid scores until he meets some one who will beat him, and then he will quit in disgust and probably never touch a gun again. This is a very curious trait, but I met a number just like him when I was in .England before, wnen i orst went to England they turned out in force to have a match with me, bat when I got, to beating them they quit in disgust. It has been arranged for me to shoot an exhibition match before the Prince of Wales when I land. I have already made some excellent scores with the shotgun. In the clay pigeon shoots I broke 100 straight three times in succession, and 98 another time." Augusta Chronicle: The Republi- j cans unloaded Robeson when he be-! came too great a load to carry. They have finally done for Keifer what they did for .Robeson. Both men illustrated their party and did its behest with rude enthusiasm. It is amusing to see the party that has put Blaine in the lead unloading Robeson and Keifer! The only difference between the men is one of genius, not representation. % . Blaine is much more powerful than Keifer or Robeson because he is much more audaciously brilliant. But he is not more honest than these 'discrowned small leaders, who hare been sent to the rear in d;sgrace while he goes to xl t - -3 r? x- . r - ? j 1 i tue ueau m gionncauon. it wouiu oe laughable if it were not so sad. The people ought to send Blaine, in November to join Robeson and Keifer. They are birds of a feather and should flock together.

We owe it to him, to his county and to the District, to say that his nomination was fairly and legiti- < mately brought about. Now that it is ; over, we hope that the fires of the" con- s test will die, and that the ashes left 1 will serve to enrich the soil of Demo- 1 cratic hopes and elevate to a seat in the < Congress the nominee of the Conven- ] tion. Col. Perry's personal integrity, j the purity of his character, and his 1 acknowledged ability throughout the ' State -as well as in Greenville county, J are a guarantee that his election will ' redound to the good of the District < ond the general welfare of the State. We have not been and are not yet in ] sympathy with the views of the nom- ! inee upon manv of the great public , questions of State interest and irapor- ( tance, but he is now removed to a 1 broader field of activity, and we bespeak for him a career of greater use- '{ fulness and of richer promise. Fairfield will give to the nominee i her warm, hearty and enthosiastic 1 support, and on the Ides of Novem- ! ber, our county Democracy shall pollfor hiin a majority worthy of the party. : TVe predict for him a triumphant election. \ THE XEXT COXGEESS. A correspondent ot toe Philadelphia Times discusses the probable political , complexion of the next .Congress. The i Democratic majority, through the "tidal wave" of 1882, and the unseat- \ ing of a few Republican members, , reached an unusual number., Both i sides agree that the majority will be ! greatly reduced. Democrats frankly say that they do not expect a majority /\^ f Knit f r\y f Vvi nf %' ?n \J1 UU\Jl ^ lUiiil v ? sJii AX V \> SJl lull IJ All the lower branch of the Forty-ninth Congress and they nsnally accompany that admission with the remark that no party ought to have a larger majority J than that. The Republicans do not admit the claims of the Democrats. They pro- : fess to have the most abounding faith 1 that Blaine and Logan will have a ma- ' joricy of the electoral vote and also of i the popular vote, and that the popu- 1 larity of Blaine and Logan will assist j to change so many of the Congression- j al districts that went Democratic in j 1S82 that the majority in the House ] rrill ti?o 11 ?forporl fA fho T?annKli/*onc Id many of the districts in dispute nominations have yet to be made by one or both parties. Hence the result cannot be predicated from the starting point of personal influence or popularity, which often shapes the conclusion of the whole matter in a very close district. The Republican committee will not give any indication of the districts they hope to carry, as that wouJd be revealing their plans and battleground to the enemy. Bat it is not difficult to gather from reliable sources the districts which they claim they have in view and the basis on which | their hopes rest of controlling tfie next < ! House of Representatives. In California they expert to reverse the Second ami Fourth districts, which are naturally Republican and which they claim were'merely carried by the I "tidal wave." In Connecticut the First and Fourth are wanted. In Illinois the Teuth and Sixteenth will be the battle-ground, and Republicans even claim that Judge John Baker, of Bellville, St. Clair county, in the Eighteenth district, will be nominated and will defeat Morrison. A gain of two is counted in Illinois, certainly. In Indiana the Seventh, Eighth. Hiutli ] and Teuth are expected to return to :heir Republican first-loves. Peelle, | vho was unseated in favor of young i English, has been or will be renomi- j anted, and a decided majority, which ivill leave, no room for a contest, is expected for him. Iu Iowa the Republicans expect to. reverse four districts? ;he Second, Fourth, Sixth and Uinth. [n the Fourth "Calamity" Weller, who tvas elected two years ago by ail the )dds and ends of Prohibitionists, Nationals, labor men and other fractions ittd factious, combined with the Democrats. In Massachusetts the Sixth district, now represented by Henry B. Covering, who was elected by a majority of less than one thousand, is expected to change. In Michigan a rather clean sweep is made in prophe lies?a recovery of the Detroit district ind the Second, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh being anticipated. In New York the Eighth, Fifteenth, Twentieth, fwentv-third, Twenty-ninth, Thirtieth and Thirty-first are the modest claims of the Republicans. Five of these seven arc counted as certain. In Ohio the First and Second (the.Cincinnati districts), the sixth, tenth, fifteenth, eighteenth (McKinley's), twentieth and twenty-first are claimed as certain to be recovered. In Pennsylvania the Congressman-at-LargC) and four districts?the twelfth, fifteenth, twenty-second and twenty-fifth?are counted as certain for the Republicans. In Wisconsin the first, third and seventh are thought to be secure for Republican majorities in a Presidential fear. This makes an aggregate of fortyhrpf rlisf.riftts n<Ywr rr>nr#?sp.nted hv Democrats that are expected to change, [fe will be noticed that no allowance is made for changes in districts now represented by" Republicans. Yet' :hese are considered certain to occur in several instances if the present situation is any indication of the results. Even .accepting the Republican figuring the districts counted as certain to jhangc are only barely sufficient to reverse the !Democratic majority in the EJouse. Any slip or deviation from :hese calculations will lose the game, md it is therefore evident that the Republican hope of success iu this one department of the political lottery langs on a very slender thread. THE MEETING XVXT WEDNESDAY. After consultation with several members of Gladden's Grove and Oakland Dlubs, it has been determined to have ;he picnic on the 20th inst., at Glad3en?s Grove. The Democratic meeting appointed for that day will also be held at the same place, by consent >f the County Chairman. W. T. McCroret. A MOOXLIGHT PICXIC. Messrs. Editors: On the afternoon 5f Thursday, the T.tji inst., a couple of foung gentlemen might have been seen leisurely driving a buggy through the streets of Wiunsboro, their faces betokening a dance, a picnic or some jntertainment and amusement was rsin oil ulUOCIiUlig JliaCil ill an iW ttui)Wi^/ui.vu [oyousness to their imaginations, and the importance of.their presence in the eery near fnture at some particular locality seemed to dawn upon them with all the air and semblance of a intv. . Yonr humble scribe was one of the party above-mentioned, and bent upon i run into the country for a short time we wended onr way westward and took the Hney's ferry road. The lowBring clouds threatened and frowned, but the displeasure of the elements was confined to themselves. The crops along the road seemed to have improved wonderfully within a week, the recent rain had done its good work, and every farmer we met had a broader smile and warmer greeting, the eager, anxious feeling of an account fully settled seemed to impress him with its possibility .and importance, and its corresponding effect upon us was elevating and pleasant. After a while Old Sol came' out in all his splendor, his presence gave us hope and happiness, it assured us of a moonlight picnic and its attendant pleasures, for it was to a picnic at the residence of Mr. William H. Ruff that we were invited arid was the occasion of this flying trip. Suffice it to say; Messrs. Editors, after a long aud interesting ride at "dewy eve" we drew up in front of the hospitable residence of Mr. John D. Stanton, just as the clock was striking seven: "The curfew toils tne Kneii 01 parting day: The lowing lierd winds slowly o'er the lea, ' ' The ploughman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the world to darkness and to me." Wc had been kindly invited to take tea with that gentlemanly octogenariau, and iu pursuance ol an intention already formed and expressed, we flighted, were duly conducted and installed in our role.

His nerves are is strong and his step as firm, his laugh is as loud and appearance as rigorous as mankind ordinarily are at fifty. May this "father in Israel" live long in the full enjoyment of his faculties is the hope and wish of his many friends. We were surprised to -hear of the sickness of oar esteemed friend and fellow-townman, Mr. E. B. Kagsdale, [he grandson of Mr. Stanton. He bad been feeling badly and went home to enjoy its rustic air and quietude, thinking to be soon restored and recruited, he was, however, disappoint ea, lor lie suou grew worse uuu nan jonfined to his bed. At this writing-, luckily, he has gotten over his worst illness, and under the influence of gentle hands and watchful eyes he is now convalescent, and ere long will be seen bis cheerful face and graceful person Dn the Range. Supper was announced and in we marched. Dexterous hands had deftly gathered the agreeable viands and with generous profusion and propriety bad so prepared that they would have excited the inclination and relish of sne who was far more fastidious than your humble subscriber. We enjoyed the repast with heartiness, and evinced by our energy of action and industry n movement oar keen appreciation or its excellence. After supper we start2(1 for the place of the picnic, aud irrived there abont nine o'clock, and i svere pleasantly surprised to see our friend Mr. R. J. McCarley and his ?ood lady, as also Miss Maggie, his laughter, who were on a visit to Mr. Rufl and familv. As we behelcl the many strange faces of the goodly array of young ladies, the becoming toilets, the pleasant reliefs and modes of vestments, we inwardly reflected "that Solomon in all bis glory was not arrayea nee one 01 these," and began to realize the treat in store for us. "We were kindly introduced by the host and his lady, who gracefully performed the honors of this occasion. After awhile spent iif" conversation a dance was gotten up. "And when Music arose with its voluptuous sw?.ll, Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again, And all went merry as a marriage bell." Prominent among the ladies were Misses InezMcMeekin, Anderson, Patterson, Mamie Hunter and Maggie McCarlev.

Union had sent her prettiest contribution in the i person of Miss Mamie Hunter, a very pretty young lady, whose vivacity and handsome person seemed to command the admiration and bewitch and stagger the bachelorhood of most of the gentlemen present. Miss Maggie McCarley was generally admired, her prettiness and youth making her very popular.

The Growinc Crops-A Good Prospect, JfotTvithstandins: the Floods. Flowery MocndvLa., August 2.? Perhaps a few notes from this section might interest some of your many readers. Doubtless the Mississippi Valley is the most remarkable country in the world, in the varied experiences of its people?sometimes apparently doomed to destruction, and at others buoyed up with prospects bright beyong conception. S?ich is our experience ot the present year. In the early spring all things were favorable and work was pushed aliead. Most persons, finished breaking up and planted corn, say up to the 1st of March. Then the dreadful flood of the Ohio began to pour down upon us, which culminated in an entire overflow of our lands, from three to ten feet deep. This began abont the 20th of March, lasting till the 1st of June, and resulted in almost complete demoralization of the people, causing some to leave for higher land and the balance to almost despair of making a liviug this \ear, it being so late in.the season. But now, after two months, quite a change has taken place. As soon as tiio land began to appear after the water, people began to plant in the mud (first on the 4th of June), putting both cotton and corn?in fact, everything?into the rnud. This work, although disagree able, was followed up with alacrity; and at this writing it is perfectly astonishing to see what can be accomplished in so short a time (less than two months) in this soil. The season has been all that could be desire'd?rains whenever they were needed. Cotton planted from the 4th to the 12th of June is now waist high, full of blooms, and growing about eight inches a week. Corn plauted at the same time is now silking and tasseling, and with one more rain will make forty bushels to the acre. The range for our stock (cattle and hogs that were kept through the water) is ?nA-?Unnf>f?klA ourl nrn oi'fi Kftinfr trail HJUAUaiLOUUiVj UUU ?? 1/ U1V II V/J1 paid now, in milk and batter, for the trouble and expense incnrred with them.through the overflow. Such is the condition of affairs now existing in this portion of Concordia Parish, and with the "hope of this alluvial valley being protected from water by the general government (which we claim as a national duty, the States being powerless to perform the task,) we' cannot afford yet to give up our hard-earned homes, notwithstanding the high waters of the last three years, but would like to see more of our South Carolina friends come and cast their fortunes with us.

JOHN PEARSON'S STATEMENT. In the spring of 18821 was attacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse until fall, when I got so weak that I could not get about I tried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to grow worse. X was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. Holloway finally told me to try Brewer's Lung Restorer. They sent to Ward's Store and got a bottle and I commenced taking it right away. After taking two or three doses, I began to improve, ana oy tne time I had used up one bottle. 1 was able to get o)i my feet again. I am now ia excellent health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are of the same opinion. It is the best Lung Remedy ever made in my opinion. Dr. II. promised me that he would write to the manufacturers and tell them of the wonderful cure it made in my case. Statement ol' Mr. Beuj. F. Hearndon. Early in November, 1881, while sewing on the machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her "side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever commenced, she cotfld neither eat nor sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. ,TV? Attending physician told me that he thought one of lier lungs was entirely gone. She could; not retain the most delicate nourishment on her stomach. I tnen arrrAPrl with "Dr. Sullivan, mv familv Dhvsi cian, to.call Dr..Hollo-way in consultation. They made a final examination of the patient and pronounced the case hopeless. Dr. Hollbway then suggested the Brewer's Lang Restorer as & last resort. I sent for a bottle and-gave her a dose. I found that she could retain it on her stomach and after about the third dose, I began to notice some improvement in her condition. I continued the medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken two bqftles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in better health than she lias enjoyed for several years.
