The procession was headed by the officers and crews of the rescuing fleet?the Thetis, Bear and Alert?and in it in carriages .were the officers of the North Atlantic squadron, the city authorities, Secretary Chandler, Gen. Haven, Congressmen Itandall and Robinson (of New York) followed by a. detachment of marines, sailors from the fleet, local onrf nvoranfanfions and citizens. The town infilled to its utmost capacity with visitors, who came by rail and water long distances. The rescued mon continue to improve daily. A meeting of citizens at Music ITall this evening to extend :he official welcome of the city of Portsmouth to Lieutenant Greely and the remainder of bis crew, was largely attended and was characterized by unbounded enthusiasm. In the auditorium there was a representation of Portsmouth's foremost c'tizens. On the stage were the officers of the Atlantic squadron and Arctic relief fleet.

"Washington, August 5.?Several members of the Republican Campaign Committee, who have visited the headquarters of the Congressional Co ramit tee in this city, claim that with anactive and vigorous campaign the Bongressional Districts in certain Southern States now represented by Democrats can be secured for Republicans or pro. tection Democrats, who arc just as good for their purposes. They base their claim upon the assumption that within the past few years a strong protection seuuiuciit lias jjruw ii up in tuc cuiicd of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and other States where manufactories have thrived. There arc said to be men in these States personally popnlar with a large body of the more liberal element among the Democrats who are "tired" of the wavering or undeetded course of the Democratic party in dealing with the tariff, and that these men are willing^ to unite with the Republicans in taking a bold stand in favor of organ" ized capital and a protect;ve policy. THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK. j Confidence and Enthusiasm in All Parts of j the Union-Senator Butler Thinks the Democrats are Sure to SYin. fLetter to the JS'ews aiKl Courier.'] j Washington, August 5.?Senator i Butler, of South Carolina, left here to! day for New York to be present at the j organization of the committee appointi ed by the Senate to make an inspection of the various shipyards and the steel producing capacity throughout the United States. The committee is composed of Senators Hawlev, of Connecticut, Milier, of California, Aldrich, of Rhode Island, Republicans, Mor| gan. of Alabama, and Butler, Democrats. Senator Butler says he will probably be selected as one of a committee of three to go to California to make an examination of the Mare Island navy yard. Referring to politics the Senator said the information received from Democratic managers all along the line vc-fic Af lho most p?f?nrir<)cmv and V* '"V - WWW ^ ? ! promising' nature. The Kepnblrcans | have made a serious blunder by an' tagonizing the German element in the West with the Prohibition idea. The j Germans will have their beer at any J price, and the party which attempts to i deprive them of it must stifter the conj sequence. The young men of the conn| try are rapidly becoming a powerful factor in National politics. In almost every section where young men's clubs have been formed they Have declared for Cleveland and Hendricks- The Senator is highly pleased with the amount of activity th*t has already been displayed in the Democratic ranks. If the enthusiasm lor Cleye1land and Hendricks continues to increase as it has since the Nominating Convention the Democrats will be sure to elect their Presidential ticket. A opnMpman frnni Rriffalo. who is fi personal acquaintance of Governor Cleveland, says tbat his letter of acceptance of the :Democratic Presidential nomination, which is now in course of preparation, will be, in the mhtter of diction, one of the ablest papers thaf has ever been presented to the public. This gentleman says that the Governor has been noted, since he'was a.law clerk, for the clearness and force with which he states his views and thai his briefs were always models of pnre English. The letter, it is said, will give a clearer idea of the Democratic party's position on the tariff question as construed by Mr. Cleveland, than it is possible to glean from the platform built at Chicago. THE GROWING CHOPS. | AVCpUl I Ui bllC^tlUUltUKM i-uivuk iv* the Month of July. Columbia, August 6.?The following is the report of the crops throughout the State for the month of July: cottox. The reports of county correspondents to the State Department of Agriculture, April 1, show a decline in the condition of cotton from the previous month. During the early part of July the rains were very heavy, and this, following the excessive wet weather of June, caused the plant to be very tenand succulent. After the first week in July the weather was hot, dry and sultry, and the sudden change caused the plant to cast fruit and leaves, and shedding is reported very generally in all parts of the State. Great danger to the crop was apprehended until near the close of the month, when seasonable showers relieved the anxiety of the farmers to some extent. The plant was sustained mostly by surface roots, and in order to remove the grass it was necessary to plough close to the plant, and in some cases the surface roots were destroyed. The growth of the plant was consequently checked, and some damage necesarrily done. Since it has been freed of grass and, has had the benefit of the rains in the lafter part of the month, it is said to be taking on a better and more vigorous growth, with prospects for an average crop brightening. In the upper part of the State the plant is sina'', and in the middle and lower sections it is about an average size, but, cxcept in a lew localities, it is not fruiting as well as nsnal at this season. Three correspondents in the lower part of the State lhention the appearance of the caterpillar;-but one of thefo, who has not seen the worm, doubts if it is the genuine cotton caterpillar. The condition is reported in Northern Carolina at 75; Middle Carolina at 80; Lower Carolina at 92?an average for the State of 84 against 70 for the same period last year. CORN. The July report showed the probable damage to corn 011 river and creek bottoms, and it is confirmed by the I IaIai* onTn mAtiif nlonAC fhft lalVI lO* xii tu(*uT piuwo LUV crops were destroyed by the floods too late lo replant, and fields that on the 1st of June promised an abundant yield were abandoned. The seasons have been remarkably favorable for early upland corn, and it is estimated that* it will give above an average yield. Late planted and that planted on oa*s stubble suffered severely from excessive rains during June and July and the drought that followed, and was reported below an average on the 1st of August. The general condition for the whole crap is reported: For Northern Carolina, 73;' Middle Carolina, 91; Lower Carolina, 98?an.avei:i>crp fnr thfi State nf siorainsf. 7/> for the same time last year. POTATOES. Both Irish and sweet potatoes are reported in fine condition and promise good average yields, and the present condition of sorghum and sugar cane indicates the usual yield. KICE. ... liicc isreported Jn Lower Carolina at 99, aud upland rice in Upper and Middle Carolina at 95. Many of the correspondents report the cultivation of clover and timothy, but it is cultivated almost entirely for pasturage or cut and fed green. A correspondent in Marlboro' estimates that about thirty tons have been cut in his couuiy, and another, in Fairfield, ntty tons, but both report tnat it was cut for"green food. Oilier grasses, however, are becoming very popular for hay, and it is probable that large quantities ofhay will be har?ested. Down the Mountain. Charlotte, N.*C., Augusts.?On the Ducktown brauch of the Western and North Carolina Railroad yesterday a material train that was climbing the mountain broke loose from the engine and run back at a terrific rate. All hands jumped from the train, except Condnctor Wynn, who tried to apply the brakes. The train ran on a trestle, knocking it down ami-causing a complete wreck. Conductor Wynn went down among the timbers, and was brought out so badly crashed that he died shortly afterwards. Cleveland's Holiday.

[Snecial to the Phil/uMnhia Times. 1 Washington, August 5.?In leaving Bar liaibor Mr. Blaine broke up his camp for good. The movement was made in response to advice and protestations from many quarters that he should come forth and show himself? advice and protestations which, had their existence in the alarm of his suppliers, at the dullness of the canvass, h dullness which he only could break. Mr. Blaine will gradually work himself upon the stump and into the campaign instead of standing aside in obedience to what Mr. Steve Elkins described as his :"sense of delicacy," a remark which caused Mr. Elkins to be laughed at and Mr. Blaine to be admonished against adopting any such nonsense fbrMs rule of action. Mr. Blaine had concluded t^ make oiriy an occasional ^appearance in speech-making. His friends who find a void in the canvass which only he caii fill will not exact much formal speech-making^bnt the frequent showing of'himself, hand-shakings, congratulations and a ssvinging around the circle to make things in general lively. Mr. Greeley's railroad excursions in 1S72 on the" trunk lines, making frequent half-hour stomps and occasional halts f&'rlionrs to address masses of mej?-are recalled as a first-rate style of campaigning.;..!*'is remembered* that Mr. -.Greeley never appeared to so muchr advantage as on-his wonderful run to^imdjifom^Ohio, daring which time he made not less than three score of speeches;;whieh^vehim an intellectual rank he did not before have. Mr. Blaiue is urged to undertake similar journey s.^.Ilis friends believe that nothing better can be done to advance his cause and rescue the campaign from the downward drift towards which it is unmistakably tending. For the present Mr. Blaine will move about in Maine, where the September election may yet prove a battle on the skirmish liue. It will, unless Mr. Blaine's opponents have given up their original intention... If. they have done so, that fact means more than permitting Mr. Blaine to have in his own State whatever majority he can get, be it five or ten thousand. The September election in Maine is so important to the Republicans that nothing will be omitted to make the reswfc.a goou sena-oii ior r?iuiue. The public is about to be regaled with publications concerning Mr. Blaine's private life as an offset to publications relating to alleged moral delinquencies of Mr. Cleveland. A leading Democratic paper iu a Western city is understood to have had writers engaged for a considerable time in Kentucky, where Mr. Blaine was a teacher shortly after he at-taiued his majority; and if what is retailed in private becomes the woof and warp of the story that is being woven for the public the campaign will not be wanting in interest thereafter. AN INTERVIEW WITH McDONALD. He Considers Indiana Safe for the Democracy-He has no Faith in Campaign Stories -Butler's Candidacy. Washington, Angnst 8.?Ex-Sena tor Joseph McDonald arrived here today from Indiana en route to Deer Park. He says that the campaign in Indiana is just beginning to take form. The Democrats will undoubtedly carry the State, although both parties at present claim it. The party liues will be drawn very closely throughout the State. The Democrats will vote solidly for Cleveland and the Republicans for Blaine. Very few votes will be cast outside of the two parties. The contest will be between Democrats and Republicans, with the odds in favor of the former. When asked what effect the scandalous articles which are being published about Cleveland and Blaine will have on the voters of the country, he replied that any man who has the standing to receive the Presidential nomination from his party cannot be affected by campaign slander so long as vnmoinc Antci/ln nf npnifonHoi*r 11V i ViltlUIIO VMWiUV V* WiJV ^/V*I*W4?VAMI J Such stories, said he, as are now being circnlated about Mr. Cleveland do not change many votes, but they are a disgrace to our people. He says it is almost too early to predict what effect Ben Butlers candidacy will have on the general result, bat he feeis confident of Democratic success, notwithstanding there may be fifty Butlers in the field. Some of the * weak-kneed Democratic politicians at the Democratic headquarters iu this city say that while Butler's candidacy will * hurt Cleveland in New York materially it may also be the means of carrying Pennsylvania back into the Democratic ranks." They say that the Republicans depend upon the" labor vole for their large majorities in the State of Pennsylvania, and that Butler will take this from them. Upon this assumption they hold that if Cleveland be beaten in New York he still may be elected. Governor Cleveland's Slanderer. o rer\ <*Ane?rffti?nMo fuse UV/iUV/ ?I V/VIVO VVUOlUVIUViV ilico was made by the Republican papers over the story that Governor Cleveland had once* seduced and rained an innocent woman. It now turns out that about thirteen years ago, he did form an illicit connection with a certain widow, but it long since ceased. The story has been grossly exaggerated. One Rev. Mr. Ball," of Buffalo, N. Y., seems to have been most active in spreading- it. Of him * an Oweusville writer in the Indianopolis Sentinel says: "The people of our county do not expect much of the Rev. Mr. Ball, of Biiflalo. They remember the record be made in this county when he was here only about a year ago.

It was a clear moonlight night,-and the collision oc-, curred about midnight with the large iron steamer Camden, just off Gravesend. The Dione'? port side was stove in, and the vessel keeled over and sunk in two minutes. Those who were saved rushed on deck and jumped ovboard half dressed and were rescued by tugs.

Description of One of the liost Daring Feats on Eecord. [From t?ie Boston Globe.] Mount Washington Iras been ridden down by a try cyclist and by riders of the "Xtra" and the "Star" bicycles, but it has been considered impossible of accomplishment on an ordinarycrank bicyclc. Like many other things relating to the bicyclc, however, in which seeming impossibilities have proven to be nothing, of the kiud, the mountain was safely coasted down last Thursday by three St. JLouis bicyclists, C. F. A. Beckers, of the Missouri Bicycle Club; Johu S. Rogers, of the St. Louis Ramblers Club, and Arthur Younj^ of the Eurota Bicycle Club. They are all famous hill climbers and road riders, and coming, as they do, from a section of the country where there are scarcely any level roads at all, but steep and rocky hills, rising- up in every direction, they felt confident of being able to make the descent of the mountain. Accordingly they started from Boston,, last Tuesday, with this intention, each rider taking with him an Expert Columbia bicycle, the brakes of each machine being .furnished with two-levers, one on cither side of the head, and working independent . of the other, so that incase one should fhp rirlpp' wnnlrl hp nhlr> f,o con trol the machine with the other lever. They took the train to Gorman, Me., and from there wheeled to the base of the mountain, and thence by special conveyance to the Summit House. It rained hard all thai night, and the next morning, although the weather , was fair, the wind blew such a hurricane that twenty feet from where they started? thev were blown -off their wheels. A'second attempt met with no better success, as the wheelmen wisely concluded to defer another trial to the next day. It rained steadily during the afternoon and night, but cleared away the next morning. About 3 o'clock they jumped on their wheels, and encouagcd by assurances from the people who witnessed their start that they wouldteach the bottom alive, started on* their perilous ride. The roads, from the previous heavy rains, were very soft and wet. Less than a hundred yards from the-start they struck an unusually soft place, resnltinsr in a srrand header for all three. They soon, however, regained their saddles by taking the "pedal mount." The pedal mount, and at the same time throwing one leg over the handle bars, is the only safe way to mount a machine on a steep down grade. They quietly got both legs over the handle bars, and, leaning far back, "let her go." The double brake levers were found to be of great service in resting the hands, for, being applied together, but -little power was required to keep the brake pressed close to the tire. For the first mile they kept well together, but then Beckers began to gain on the others, and in another mile was entirely lost sight of. A number of . header's had by this time been taken by each of the riders, but none proved of consequence, except a fall received by Rogers, while trying to coast a foot= ' ? A ,L. J __1 deep wasnonc across mc roau, wiieu the wheel struck him on the head. The wheel also received some damage, so that quite a long stop was required to repair it. Young and Rogers did not mind this much, however, for they feit confident that Beckers would take care of the record- Soon after they began to find strewn along the road, , novels, comb and brushes, ties, scarfpins, mountain souvenirs, etc., and on the curve at the half-way house flew by the "M. P. I." bag belonging ou Ceckers' machine. They were of course very mnch frightened at this, for they thought that perhaps he had jumped off the cliff. It was afterwards found ouf, however, that Beckers' bag had become open without his knowledge, and finally dropped down into bicycle wheel, but with no more serious result than a header fbr the rider. After leaving the half-wav house the rest of the disiaucc was accomplished with ease, as Qompared with, the rosd they had to ride over for the firstfive or six" miles. In many of the steepest places the road was very narrow, not more than eight feet in*width with a yawning chasm or ravine on one side to heighten the pleasure of tfie'iide. They, however, finally all arrived safely at the Glen House, where, they found gathered a large crowd anxious- " ly for them. Betting had been heavy that they would not come down alive. Beckers made the desccnt in exactly forty-nine minutes to the base and fifty minutes to the Glen House. The others did not hurry and came down in one hour and fourteen minutes. The feat is certainl v one of the most remarkable ever accomplished -on the bicycle and it is not likely thero "will be many imitators. A count of the headers taken shows that Beokers received seven, Young teii, Rogers fourteen. . : ; ? ; . 1 A TEXAS TR/.SEDY. Pour Men Meet In the Koadand in Settle* nu-nt of an Old Fend Batcher Each Other.5 St. Louis, August 7. -A dispatch from Fredouia, Texas, says: A desperate fight occurred. ten miles .north of this place 011 Monday evening, in which one man was killed and three mortally wounded. Samuel Faulkner and i.jnry Allen met t\vo brothers named "Woodallon the road and atr tacked them with Winchester nfles. mi . _I - - i-. .1? ~ me party msiuuuiiicu uiiu luugukiryiu behind their horses. Allen was shot through the heart at about the fifth round. One of the Woodalls was shot in the shoulder and neck and di|pbled; the other Woodall and Faulkner then closed with bowie knives and a fearful combat ?Jlsued, in which "Woodall was stabbed below the heart. Fanlkner (hen turned to look after his dead comrade, Allen, and as he did so he received a bullet in his breast from the pistol of the elder Woodall, who was lying on the ground with his neck and shoulders split open. Faulkuer may possibly recover, but both of the Woodalls will die. The fight was the result of an old feud which originated in Arkansas, where all the men once lived. Both parties were going to camp.meeting when they met. Collapse or a,. Hotel. The back part of the United States Hotel building in Washington, on Pennsylvania avenue, a short distance west of the Capitol, fell in without warning on Sunday evening and buried in the ruins a-number of inmates. The build iu^ has a frontage of 120 reet on tde avenue ana a depth ofllS feet. There is an alley leading ;rom Third to Fourth and a Half street. A small portion of the rear wall was the first to give way. aiid a general collapse of the rear portion immediately followed, sending np a great cloud Of dost. A general alarm vsras sounded which brought to the scene of disaster a number of fire engines and hook and companies and a force of police. The whole number of persons killed is seven, and many others more or less injured. \ \ v ?* THE FIRST BATTLE-GROUND. j West Virginia Chosen by the Republicans? Money to be Used without Stint. Deer Park, Md., August 7.?Another conference was held here to-day between Stephen B. Elkins and several leading- Republicans and Greeubackers of West Virginia. The 11 amber present was not as large as at last week's conference, it being understood that only those who are to have part in the management of the canvass in West Virginia shonld attend. The closest secrecy was observed, none of the gentlemen registering at the hotel, and all being entertained at Elkins's cottage, and meetings were held within its doors. Eikins and ex-Senator Davis returned last night from the mines adjacent to the West Virginia Central, which section Senator Don Cameron and several Pennsylvania Republicans recently reached via White Sulphur. Some of those in conference with Eikins here to-day arrived yesterday and awaited his coming. He assumed personal charge of the canvass of Maxwell, the Fusion candidate for Governor. j/nnds, it it said, have been liber-! ally promised bv the Republican National Committee, and the campaign will be inaugurated at;an early. day by a big meeting in Wheeling. Arrangements were concluded at the confer-' ehce to-day for the services of R. P. H. Staub, of Baltimore, and a list of speaking appointments will at onee be made for him hronghout West Virginia. Staub, who is a lawyer," has hitherto been a Democrat He was in the Confederate army, .and /this circumstance is oxpec.ea to strengthen his influence. '' u REMOVING TELE LNXHVDEK3.

Several companies of troops are expected to enter the Territory to-da/ or to-morrow. All persons found in the above portions of the. Territory, estimated at' about 2,000,. will be removed. The men will be turned over to the United States Marshal in whose district the intruders are found.. The women and children will be taken to Kansas ;or Arkansas and allowed to go.

The authorities assert differently and say that no one is entitled to settle in either of the three disputed tracts of land. A number of men are reported to have lived in the Oklahoma land and Panhandle tor several years and to have made extensive improvements.

' m A FIRE IN THE CAPITOL Narrow Escape from a Serious Conflagration. Washington, August 6.'?Early this morning fire was discovered by the policc at the capitol in a large closet adjoining the clerk's office in the House side. When discovered it had apparently been burning for some time, as when the watchman warned by the smell of burning: paint entered the clerk's office ana opened the closet door the flames burst forth fiercely, and it took them half an hour to get it under control. It was. finally extinguished without much damage. Only the fact that the closet had "fire-proof walls nrevented a disastrous confla gration. The watchman said that if the fire had occurred in some of the rooms on the upper floor,- the "library for instance, they probably would not have been able to discover ft until'it was beyond'their control.- There are only seven policemen <?n that side of the building:, and not more than five of them on duty at one time. If a fire should break out on one Of the top floors, or in rooms which are kept lockcd, Ihe.waHsJare so thick that it might burn for hours without being detected. The origiri of the fire is unknown. The closet was locked and contained nothing but- papers, members'. account for stationery, which have been, accumulating for twenty years.

"IIow is the drug business?" asked the ' Chronicle of Mr. A. L. Stollemverck, one Of the leading Birmingham' druggists. "In some departments dull like everything else, but people must have medicine, and it is as staple as bread." "What on earth are all those attractive bottles in that row?" we asked, as we turned our eyes to the right. "That, sir, is the most rapidly selling patent medicine ever introduced in this country. I never saw anything like it. It is, comparatively speaking, a new medicine, having been introduced to my customers nine months ago." \ "IIow do you account for this popularity of the medicine in so short a time?" "Because it is all that is claimed for it? the greatest blood medicine of the age. I know of many cases where it has cured blood poison, skin diseases, kidney troubles, old ulcers, rheumatism, etc. A few days ago a gentleman who lives in G'ahaba valley came to me and purchased one dozen bottles of tills medicine. Said he had seen it advertised and tried one bottle 011 his. little child, who had a terrible sore of some Iriml on its neelc. The little one was so much improved by it that he had determined to buy a large "quantity of it and continue its use until his child was entirely restored, and also use it as a general family medicine. This is only one instance out of many." "Is it perfectly harmless in its effects?" ' "The tendercst babe can use it without any unpleasant effects. 3Iy customers say it gives a keeir appetite and imparts strength and vigor at once." "Pretty costly medicine, then, I suppose, as it is so valuable." "No, sir; it is the cheapest blood remedy to be found. .Large bottles oniy $1.00, and one bottle seems to convince every one that it is by far the quickest remedy known." "Axe the sales large?" "It outsells anything in my house. I have bought two gross within ninety days, as it is rapidly running every other blood wniAflv nut nf tlip mnrlr^t 'T "What do you call the medicine?" "B. B. B., Botanic Blood Balm, just as you see it labeled. It is made at Atlanta, Ga., by the Blood Balm Company, aud it will very soon make that the richest medicine company in this country, for they have certainly struck the key-note of success." A Georgia Tragedy.
