A Washington correspondent says that tbc department clerks were never so polite as now to Dcinoera.ic Cou pressmen, and tliat civil service reformers, repently Republican, have bad some wonderful political conversions since Cleveland's election. There are some pessimists about here who venture to intimate that 3Jr. A. K. McClure's rose-colored view of the condition of South Carolina may be somewhat attributed to the hospi- ' tality and the champagne of the Columbia Club. It seems from the reports in some of our exchanges that Robert Fulton will probably be robbed of the honor of being the first iuventor of Use steamboat, and the honor given .10 John : FitcUj Wbo, it is claimed by some, was ' *>; the first inventor and launched his boat on the Delaware River twenty ! years before Fulton's steamer was iu-! ^? vented. It is said Mr. Blaine will have his' portrait painted at the expense of the government as a decoration for the Stale Department. A leading exchange says he dicTno't occnpy that depart- j ment long?only nine months?but in that short time, it cannot be disputed, < - did ^jjpngh of nnscmef~&K&'planned more than enough to"entitle hfs por-1 trait to be hacked fhere. - >*bi cnm It was reported and published in ' some of the New York papers that tlie ! Southern Senators had organized a "Southern advisory board" for the | assistance of President Cleveland in his duties towards the South "We are glad to note that no such board exists, and from our knowledge of the Presdent-elect he will not need such a board, and would probably not accept j advice if such a board existed. , p, The Senatorial contest in New York i continues to grow fiercer every day, j and as the contest now stands it would j be a mere speculation to say who] would carry off the prize. The friends of bothEvarts and Morton seein confident of success. There has been some talk of running in a "dark horse/' but it is j not probable that it will be done. The! termination of the struggle will be awaited with interest by men of both parties. The effort by friends of Gen. Grant to place him on the retired list has eliiuted considerable comment from; - the press generally. There is no doubt! thai the General was a great soldier , and an honorable general. He will be remembered bv every Southern * * i soldier as one who was a man on the field of battle and on his marches. Let , the old man be placed on the list. We j did not admire liim as President, but j let the past be forgotten, and .give him the honor of belh^retire^ ^ __?__ v. " The Philadelphia ^mes in^editq^ h - ? ~^rM commenting upon., the chances" of v.'? . lifee South for a cabinet position, in reply to a report that the Times advocated the idea that no Southern man ' should be placed in the Cabinet, uses j the following * sensible and fencible i language: No protest will c >rne from 1 -? the scores of thousands of Republicans | and Independents who voted for Cleve- ! land, against Southern members of the j Cabinet. As between a Southern ] rebel who followed his people into the j flame of battle and patriotically accepted re-union when peace came, and a Northern copperhead who hadn't: the patriotism to support tbc government nor the courage to tight against it, public sentiment of all parties and j oil eoo^Anc will ho Arorw'nftlmiiuflir An &*il .JVVUVUO II Ait WV V f Wl If UViUliUgl T */i? j . the side of the rebel all iiie time. The rebellion ended twenty years ago, aud in the restoration of constitntional government, men of approved de?otion to the reconstructed Union aud of tested patriotism, such as the leading representative men of tlao South are to-day, stand upon equal -footing with theNorth in maintaining and promoting the re-united Republic. This language coming from so influential a paper as Pl the Times will be read with interest by every one, as it treats a? a past and buried issue the late sectional strife 0. v and places all men on equal grou uds, no \ matter from what section they may pV come. \ Schuyler Colfiix. v j Schayler Coifox, the journalist, poli% v iician aHd lecturer, died veiy suddenly at Mankato, Minn., on the 13th inst. Both Houses of Congress adjourned in ? honor of his memory the day after his death. His career has been a rather remarkable one, figuring first as a journalist, and was, when a member of Congress, a correspondent of an Indiana paper; afterwards he was a prominent politician, and was for s several years Speaker of the National House of ^Representatives, and in 1868 he was nominated for Yice-President by the Republican Convention at Chicago and was elected. In 187S he was ^ implicated in charges of corruption r v brought against many members of Congress. The judiciary committee was directed by the House to inquire whether there was evidence enough to call for an impeachment. After an investigation by this committee, a report was made, signed by eight members, five of whom were prominent Republicans, saying that from the evidence they were forced to the conclu-1 elusion that Mr. Colfax bad accepted a bribe. Ee has always denied the ? . _l 1- l a - - iL'. i I ^? cuarges, duc auer cms exposure, ana f/r with this suspicion and stigma upon ' Ms name, his public life was ended, j Since that time he has lectured in most of the prominent cities Jof the United Slates, and has gained considerable reputation in that profession. No matter what may have been the truth of the charges," with his death, let the faults of bis life be forgotten, and onlv remember its brightest side. t The Iiesdersk It is now scarce t>*o months before the United States Government will change hands, and the party which has guided the ship of States for a quarter of a century, will step out and the Democrats, with Cleveland as their leader will grasp the reins of government. It is, to say the least of it, a matter of surprise that on the eve of so important an event wc should find the party to come in power in so awkwark a situation. Since th6 great fight in Con gress lust spring on tne tarm qaesuon, of which Messrs. Randall and Morrison were the champions of protection and free trade respectively, they have opposed each other in all questions of importance, and have been the leaders of two factions on the Democratic side of the House. Neither will give i way to the other, and through their leadership, it is possible that two or three important appropriations bills will uot pass at this session, and certainly if the Republicans desire it, they can make it necessary to call an extra session of Congress in the spring. If such a tlung should happen, the Democratic party woakl be forcible launched on its new career as a party in power, responsible for the conduct of afikirs* and needing a policy of some [ kind on which to base united action. 'Messrs. Randall and Morrison will each stand at the "head of a Democratic faction, ready to make fight fojr his policy. What policy then, will the new party in power, offer to the country? We by a narrow squeak elected oar President, and this only by the help of t an enormous number of independent i voters, who are now standing anxiont: ly awaiting to see what we will do | with the prize. Surely we will not j disappoint them by nnwise and misgnided legislation. If ever in the history of the Democratic party there was need of united action it is now, on the eve of coming into power. The whole country waits for die change, and the policy of the incoming administration. Then since the welfare of the party and the good I will of the whole people demands unity of action, let the two great leaders in the House forever bury the hatchet, and on its tomb be written the words, united aud undivided. Sbermsn vs. Davis. A resolution was offered in the Senate the other day calling on the President, for a copy of the historical statement concerning the public policv of the executive department of the confederate States, filed at the War Department by General Sherman. . The offering of this resolution was in consequence of some charges m^de by /IamawaI CkA?m?n A iyamc>f VJTCJIC1 iXl OUC^UiAii v vuva evil Davis early In the fall. General Sherman made them without the slightest proof to substantiate them, it was the barest assertion, and when interviewed by a St. Louis correspondent said that it. was a personal matter between be and Mr. Davis, and not a matter for the-press. Why then should such a controversy even arose in the Senate? Bat it cams, and with it the indig.wrath of^feyfcSco rthern Senators on ffty hnadfojTtfca1 C^STeSerate^Bieftain now tottering upon the brink of the grave; and unable to defend himself on the floor of the Senate. To us, it seems a most cowardly, disgraceful' aud shamful attack, and unwortnv ot tne men wuo I * ' : made it. It stands withont parallel in the history of the country, in our rec| ollection, that a merely personal ma t! ter between private. citizens should be I discussed in the chamber of the United States Senate'. Why should this great man be singled out, and made to bear the burden for which not he alone was responsible, but the whole South? It is he alone who has been cast out as unworthy of the protection and privileges of an American citizen. He has reaped honors for '.liraself and bis name lias been recorded in history and written upon the highest niche of the pinnacle of fame. Yes, i millions love him still, and will con! tinne to love him, for he has endeared himself to the Southern people by the harpships which they all bore in common, and they would gladly lift from his tottering frame the wilful, malicious and lying assault made by Gen' owl fihormait Whv shnnlri hp. of all meu, engaged in the lste war be held up to the world and branded as a rebel and a traitor? It is like attacking a corpsc, for they well know that Davis, would not have the opportunity of measuring words with them in the Senate. The cowardice oi the attack npon this honored chieftain, is only surpassed by the place where it was made But ready men were present to advocate bis cause and tell his opponents to their face that we still honored and loved him, and in during so we felt we had the night. "We all acted a part in that struggle, and feel that it is unjust to visit our infirmities upon the silvered locks of this man, above all others. We bad hoped that the sectional issue was past and buried, bet it caDBot be, so long as onr Northern friends continue io flirt in the face of Southern Senators its bloody record. Wc trnst the time is not far distant in the future when it will be buried beyond resurrection, and over the grave of fraternal strife flow the peaceful waters of {oblivion. IHvoreea. J During the last session of the Legislature a bill was.introduced by one of the .Representatives from this county providing for divorces under certain circumstances. This bill was appropriately referred to the judiciary com' mittee for its action, but owing to a 1 rush of other business, action 011 it [ 7 was postponed until the next session. | The question whether South Carolina suuuiu pass ? law ^nuiuug uivurucs under any circumstances, is one which has agitated the minds of her Legislators for a number of years. When we think of the great importance of the subject itself and the miser)' and unhappiness, which the passage of such a law might relieve, it 13 a matter of sur' - ^ v-.. ' - " ' -.<V_ . r. - prise to us that no defiuite action h<as been taken on the matter. The great end, aim and object of the marriage contract is the entire happiness and benefit which the parties will derive from it. When* it fails to accomplish that result, but instead, snbjects the parties to the untold miseries of unhappy married life then it is no longer a blessing, and falls far short of the objects for which it was intended. Then, if this be so, and it fails of the purpose for which it was intended, then there should be some remedy for those who are so nnfortnnate as to be unhappily paired or for some reason their lives Itnnnn on/7 fKaIi* liAm<3 rvf aiv uvi> ao uurr* ) tin 14 ?vuiv mvv so sweet as it should be in the married state. Can there be a case conceived where this great end of the marriage contract will not be realized, we answer the question without fearof contradiction that every person can conceive of such a case, in fact, T might go farther and say, do you not know of an actual case where justice and reason would grant a divorce? Then if there is syoh a case, why is there not a law upon our Statute books remedying this evil? No; such parties are forced to be man and wife, notwithstanding the fact, that-the great end of the contract has not been realized, and they are 110 longer happy, such cases are not frequent yet they sometimes happen where every one would approve of a separation, and the community itself reonld givo its assCn??fr the c^jgb <BK8tticc and right ^fffcommuimiew4pd sanction such a separation why not the State, and if the State, why not. under a nf Onnrts nf thp Sf-fttp? Certainly it is enough to -make inen pause and consider well and see if by judicious legislation there can be some remedy offered to those who, as a matter of right are entitled to it. The great objection offered by the opponents of such a law is that its tendency would be to loosen and destroy the sacredness of the mutual rows made by the parties, contracting. The argument at first sight seems plausable, and of some force, and we will admit that injudicious legislation would have that tendency. But we do not >ask for a divorce law which would grant a divorce for every petty difference wliich might arise between man and wife. It is an undisputable fact that a great number of the States have had too much legislation on the subject but because other States have gone too far is no argument why there should be no law whatever. Take any matter of legislation and the same argument will apply. It is as much the duty of a legislator to know when not to legislate as to legislate, and we claim that the law should only grant a dirorce ^here justice, right and reason would give it their sanction. Whenever sucih a law has been proposed its opponents refer the adrocates of the law to other States where divorces are granted for every trifling difference between man and wife. To thai class I would ask if there be no good at all in the laws of other States? Certainly there have been cases where the law would be a blessing and a benefit, and we are rcsandid enough tn-frimlt rri-r?~ cases it has been an injury and'a cnrse But we ask ihat South Carolina strike the happy medium, and take from the laws of other States as much of the law as would benefit her citizens and discard the rest. Certainly this could be done, and would in many cases relieve persons who are compelled io live together notwithstanding Hie fact that l .;e or the other has been guilty of some immorality, "figs often bear the remark by the opposers of such a law in cases where thev admit a "divorce should be granted, "let the parties go to some other State and be divorced." The citrus of South Carolina are the very life and existence of the State. They owe a duty which thev are compelled to perforin year after year and it is done cheerfully. The State tflso owes a duty to the citizens. Will she then year by year exact from her citizens the maintainance and support of her institutions, ana perchance if some be so unfortunate as to be unhappy in their married life, taunt them with the words, you must go to another State for justice! No, they are th6 life and existence of the State and have a right to demand justice within her borders. How long will she continue to send them to other States for that justice which right and reason would errant them here! South Carolina stands out to-day alone and boasts that upon her Statute books there is no divorce law. Is it an honor of which she should boast? We think it rather a disgrace (hat so important a subject of legislation should not have received that attention which it justly demands. "We trust the lime is not far distant when a wise and judicious law will be enacted for the ralief of those who are so unfortunate as to be compelled to claim its beuefitak j^ Let the next Legislature consider well the bill proposed by the membor from Fairfield and if it meets the demands of reason and justice make it a law. From Macon. Tn incmet 1R81 if. v 5 t.hftf my son's wife was iu th , last stages of consumption. She was coughing, incessantly and at times would discharge quantities of pus from her lungs, could not sleep or retain anything on her stomach, and we thought it only a question of time when life would be compelled to give way to the .fell destroyer. After all other remedies had failed, we got Brewer's Lung Restorer and began it in very small doses, as she was very weak. She soon began to improve; continued the remedy and was restored to life and health, and is to-day better than she has ever been before. I regard her restoration as nearly a miracle, for which she is indebted to Brewer's Lung Restorer. R. "W. BoxNEit, Macon, Ga.

JOHN PEAESON'S STATEMENT. In the spring of 18821 was attacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse until fali, when I got so weak that I could not get about I tried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to grow worse. I 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, and by the time , I had used up one bottle I was able to get on my feet again. I am now hi excellent health. I am confident that the Lung JRestorer saved my life and my neighbors are of the same opinion. It is the oest Lung Remedy ever made in my opinion. Dr. H. promised me that he would write to the manufacturers and tell them of the wonderful cure >t made in my case. nl' "MV "Rpni. P. HeftniOIl<L 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 could neither eat nor sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton.T - Attending physician.told me that he nit, tight one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the most delicate nourishment on her stomach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician, to call Dr. Hollowajrin consultation. They made a final examination of the Eatient and pronounced the case hopeless. >r. Holloway then suggeste^he^rewg?& I""? K^ptiorpr oc inct bottle ana gave her a dose. . I found . that she could retain if 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 bottles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in better health than she has enjoyed for several years. I believe that Lung Restorer saved her life. We have a family of six children, some of them grown." Mr. Herndon's postoffice* is Yatesville, Upson county, Ga.
