Tiie latest report in reference to the
Cabinet is to the effect that Mr. Cleveland
will make Daniel Manning Secretary
of tb'_ Treasury, and L. Q. C.
Lamar Postmaster General. Two admirable
selections for Cabinet positions.
It is the sreneral opinion amon?
patent office clerks in "Washington that
after the 4th of March Mr. Buttenvorth
will step clown and out and his position
filled by Hon. Robert B. Vance,
of North Carolina, the present chairman
of the committee on patents in
the House.
A bill to forever prohibit the railroads
from granting passes to members
of the Legislature, lias been presented
in the Connecticut Legislature and is
now creating quite a stir in that body.
They have been accustomed to receive
passes from the railroads and also receive
their mileage from the government,
and are rather reluctant to give
up this benefit.
The House of Representatives at
Washington has passed a'bill reducing
the postage on papers from two to one
cent per pouua. xms is a step in tne
right direction, and we hope it will
pass the Senate* "We see no reason
why they might not be allowed to go
free, as they are the medium of news
for the whole people, and do much for.
- the advancement of all classes . in the
United States. ; ?
The Texas Legislature has enacted a
law compelling the heads of all departments
in supplying their departments
with clerks to employ at least one-half
of them from the fairer sex. This is
quite a victory for the sex, and we
think one to which they are entitled.
They will certainly make good clerks,
and it will open up a field for them to
labor in, which will be a benefit to .the
sex.

successful candidate for United States
Senator. Me*srs. Logan and Morrison
are still sitting upon the anxious
bench, awaiting the result of the election.
The last ballot which was taken
on the 19th inst. was as follows:
. Logan, 100; Morrison, 94; scattering
10. Any attempt to name thQ successor
of John A. Logan would be a mere
speculation, but it is our hope that
Morrison, the tariff reformer, will be
the nextUnited States Senator from that
State.
Last week was an extraordinary
week of accidents in general. A great
number of railroad accidents have
been recorded by the press and also a
number of fires, one of which happened
in oar neighboring- city, Charlotte,
N. C. A fire broke out on Saturday
morning in the block near the Central
?- Hotel, destroying several business
houses. The whole amount destroyed
was about $70,000, with insurance of
about $40,000. A woman happened to
be in an upper room of one of the
buildings, and was so badly burned
that she died a few hours afterwards.
The fire seems to have been an accident
from the negligence of the woman who
lost her life iu the conflagration.

house of correction for obtaining'
money under false pretenses. He was
not allowed to breathe freely of the
open air long until he was taken up
byj Boston officials to be tried
for obtaining' money under false
pretenses in that city, ile had swindled
several professors of Harvard
College out of money. lie was tried
and sentenced to six months in the
house of correction in that city. He
made an appeal for himself at. the
trial, picturing his past life and his
preseut -degredatiou, and made the
point that he had lost his oii-nd in consequence
of hi6 misfortunes.
A once distinguished journalist who
still owns an interest in ? leading
paper pictures the prospects of Cleveland
in the following language: "The
defeat of the Democratic party in the
national campaign four years hence
and the restoration of the Republican
party to power, well, almost in perpetuity,
and the capture 6*f the Rouse
of Representatives by the Republicans
at the election next fall. If Democratic
Congressmen ea'nnot obtain from [
a Democratic President the offices in
their respective distcict?, how can they
hope to av^il? They have succeeded
always because the hope was uppermost
that some day the offices would
come along. The rank and Sle Democrat
is hardly made of the stuff which
can complacently see a political enemy
kept in a political office after he had
been defeated in a political ti<jht. Snch
a state of affairs would demoralize the
best disciplined ajmy. The political
campaigns of parties are fought to
attain to all that in them is, and not
for a division of any of the fruits with
the enemy. Taking Mr. Cleveland's
own declaration, it is my opinion that
his administration, if guided by his
public utterance?, will be a complete
failure, and the Tarpeian rock from
which he is liable to hurl himself can
be labeled in bright red letters, 'Civil
Seryice Reform" We should be very
sorry to see such a discouraging outlook
for the administration, but we
don't take much stock in such assertions,
for we believe the Democratic
party has too much brains to make
such a compete failure as is pictured
by this journalist..
It is now scarcely ten days before
the Republican party will st?ip down
and the new Democratic President be
installed and take the reins of government
and direct its future course. One
. ' . . . .. .
of the greatest subjects which will be
brought to his attention will be the
labor question, which is so Often used
as an argument by high tariff men.
Mr. Cleveland in conversation with a
prominent OJrio Democrat gives the
following views Con the subject:
"Labor andcapital-bave no antagonistic
interests. When capital, represented
by overflowing warehouses,
finds no market for its productions, or
only a market yielding loss instead of
gain, labor should sympathize with
the difficulty and accommodate itself
with the adverse circumstances. Capital
should reciprocate by sharing its
prosperity-" To absordj'all the benefit
of prosperous trade is not- more
kindly on the part of the one than of
the other. It is equally true that to
throw the whole burden of business
depression and its consequent loss of
profits upon the one, while the other,
without sympathy, exacts its usual remuneration,
is likewise objectionable.
If, as Mr. Cleveland says, "sound
business judgment were allowed to
prevail, all friction would be avoided."
Employers and employees, in the last
analysis, haue identical interests, and
the general prosperity can be best advanced,
by each studying- in a business
like and kindly spirit to promote the
well-being of the other. Thus the
laborer soonest becomes himself a cap
ltahsr, and the capitalist fortifies his
position as a useful and beneficent
member of the -community. jTo the
demagogues, however, such questions
wear a very lurid aspect.
The News and Courier of Friday
has a very interesting and valuable
article on youthful criminals, which
wto rvnKlich Tap tlin honofif nf nnr rl.
! ers* In commenting1 upon this it says:
, "South Carolina will have accomplished
a great deal, when ihere shall be
any sort of reformatory for juvenile
offenders. : It is true that nearly all
these juvenile criminals are colored
chilaren, bat this is no cause for inaction,
and is no safeguard against
danger. There is more need, indeed,
of stringent measures of reform with
the colored children than with white
children. It would be difficult to reform
colored children, perhaps, under
a suspension of sentence, as in Massachusetts,
but there would be a chance
tor them, and some hope for them, if
they could be put under proper restrictions
in reformatories, instead of
being thrust into the penitentiary to
become hopelessly debased and depraved.
There is another suggestion
which is worthy of note, although it is
wide of the -immediate subject. It is
that, iu the management of public institutions
having the care and custody
of women and children, including the
insane and the blind, deaf and dumb,
the State should allow women to be
represented on .the Boards of Control,
thereby availing itself of woman's
superior judgment in household affairs
and of her knowledge of the wants of
her own sex*. In some unhappy instances,
it has been found that delicacy,
on the part of the female subordi
nates, has stooa in the-..way 01 their
communicating to the managing board
important information necessary to the
protection of the inmates. We agree
with President Letchworth in his remark
that to deprive female inmates,
suffering either from bodily or mental
diseases, of that protection which' is
insured them by the participation of
their own sex in the management of
the institution, is an unwise exercise
of power which must result in nnhappiness,
if not great injury."
Governor Scott and His Gons.
Senator Hampton in 1882 introduced
a bill in the United States Senate for
au adjustment of the arras account of
this State with the Federal Government.
It passed the Senate some time
ago, and was taken up on Wednesday
in the House of Representatives by
Mr. Dibble and it passed that body and
is now ready for the Signature of the
President. . , .
It will be remembered that in 1869
Governor Scott made a -requisition
upon the Secretary of "War for ten
thousand stand of arms and the salt e
number of accoutrements, - with the
stated purpose of equipping the State
militia for the preservation 0f peace in
this State and for use at the then approaching
election; This amount was
all that South Carolina was-entitled to
tor the next thirty years, and the
question, us we understand it, was
whether the Secretary of War had the
power to issue anus to any State that
farahe.ad. ."'r
These arms instead of being used
were sent to;the m&nufacturiug company
to be improved. This, it seem?,
wss with the intention of placing iu
the pockets of the thieves a large sum
of money, and: "it seems tliat these
^officials were not- disappointed, rer
ceiving a bouritifuTshare of the money
which was pretended to have been
speut in improving the arras. The
passage of this bill will be quite "a
benefit to the State, and we are glad
th^t our National Congress' lias seen
fit to render to this State her just clues.
Col. I>. Wyatt Aiken.
ThS N'eics and Courier pays a very
high .compliment to one who was born
and raised in this town. It nominates
for Commissioner of Agriculture,
which, will probably be made a Cabinet
office, the Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken,
of Abbeville. In commenting upon
Mr. Aiken, it uses the following words:
The man who should be appointed
Commissioner of Agriculture under
the new bill is Consrressraan D. Wvatt
Aiken, of Sooth Carolina. Colonel
Aiken is a scientific farmer, and a practical
farmer as well, and was a conspicuous
representative- of the agricultural
interests of the United 'States
long before Mr. Morehead was ever
heard of. Colonel. Aiken was one of
the founders of the Patrons of Husbandry,
.and, we believe,-still holds a
high office in that influential order.
For years he advocated the recognition
of the importance of the farmers
of the country by making the Commissioner
of Aericnltnre a Cabinof
officer. The passage" of the present
bill-was ensured by his earnest appeals,
and constant efforts^?
We do not say that italways follows
that the advocate of a particular measure
is the proper person to give that
]BBBDIBDB3dSSSHBBMBBBflHHBOBE9BflSB83iBtll
! measure practical effect, but it is so iu p
j tbe present instance. Colonel Aiken j n
I wiil make the Agricultural Depart- j a
! ment of the United States heard and i s
fell in the counsels of the Administra- ; u
! tion, and he possesses one qualification n
which no other prominent candidate 11
enjoys. Colonel Aiken is a staunch i
and consistent advocate of a tariff for d
i revenue only. In this he is as thor- J s
; oughly a ft representative of the in-11
| telligent American farmer as,jic is by i n
I his understanding of the farmers 11
1 wants, needs and difficulties. t
South Carolina has some claims upon c
| the Domocratic party. This State has c
I but one candidate for a Cabinet office, v
! and he is eminently well qualified for h
j the place. The nomination of Colonel g
Aiken as Commissioner of Agricul- t
tare, with a seat in the Cabinet, will
fully satisfy the just and reasonable
expectations of the Democracy of the
Palmetto State. a
The nomination of Colonel Aiken to
this high position would meet the ap- 1
proval of all the people of South c
Carolina. He would fill the position 8
with honor to himself and the whole 1
country, and we hope to see him placed *
in the Cabinet if this bill passes.
Ik the South ail Inviting: Field ? J
Wc have before published an extract
written by Col. McClnre, of the Pbila- r
delphia Times, in which he spoke in c
very encouraging tones of South Car- t
olina. Those of us who live here in !
South Carolina doubted to some ex- j
tent whether it was really as encour- 1
agins: as he represented it to be. But t
it must be conceded that the natural
resources of South Carolina and the
South generally are as fully inviting
as any ' section of the United States
upon a whole, and that the fault is not
in the soil or the climate, but in the
system of industry.
We copy a few extracts from a pamphlet
entitled "The Great Problem of
the South," in which it discusses nearly
every phase of the question. This
pamphlet was gotten up by ex-Governor
Young, of Ohio, and J. S.
Zerbe, editor of the American Inventor,
of Cincinnati, Ohio. The main
i Doint treated of is diversified inaus- 1
tries. Wc publish the following ex- (
tracts: ,
Nature has bestowed upon this people
not only a most favored climate,
but a remarkably fertile and varied
soil?a soil capable of rearing every j
semi-tropical fruit or plant, or every ]
specie of the cereals that the Northern f
States produce. Ilor mineral wealth {
is inexhaustible, and even now the s
iron workers of Pennsylvania are pen- t
etrating the sunny hills of the Fouth t
bv way of the Appalachian chain of ^
mountains through Tennessee into (
Georgia and Alabama. ?
* * * * *
What is the remedy? Plainly the
South should have her own manufactories
! Is she in a position to build
nn this inrlnfifrv? Tf. is trv this p.nH that, i
we are directing the present inquiry, <
and we trust that some familiarity i
with the manufacturing industry will 1
enable us to answer the question affirm- ]
atively. "We are aware that the con- J
dition of labor in the South presents a t
problem of. the most vital importance j
iu dealing with the question. We i
approach the subject with a full reali? i
zation of the fact, that negro labor is
uneducated, and in that respect illy
suited perhaps to perform the duties (
of mechanics, but we are aware that k
there are hundreds of branches of 1
manufacturing fitted for the negro, (
which requires no more skill or educa- *
tion than the ginning of cotton or the '
manufacture ot sugar?indeed it is tne '
laborious part of many of the branches '
of the industrial arts that called forth -]
the exercise of so mnch ingenuity to !
produce labosaving machines.
From the foregoing extracts we will
sec that the very best thing for the i
South is to encourage these diversified 1
industries in every way possible, and ^
upon a whole we have as good coun- <
try, and can* by persistent efforts, 1
attain to that high state of prosperity '
so much needed. " Js
In conclusion, we will say that
after looking well into every point of
the question, we have as good country
as ativ other, and it behooves us to 1
' c
exert ourselves to mate it what it can j
be made. ]
The Washington Monument. }
t
Saturday the 21st, was an important J
day in the history of our country and
Washington city was the centre of attraction.
For a number of years every
one has looked forward to the comple- t
tion of the great monument which was .c
to be dedicated to the memory of J
George Washington, the first President 1
of the United States. Near the banks
of the Potomac and towering high
above every spric, reaching near the
clouds, stands the stately obelisk which
was on Saturday dedicated to the mem
ory of Washing-ton. Notwithstanding
the cold weather, the ground
being covered with snow, a great
crowd assembled to witness the ceremonies
at the monument.
The exercises were opened by Senator
Sherman, chairmau of the Joint
! Congressional Commission, with some.
! appropriate remarks? After which the
i address prepared by W. "W. Corcoran,
|'first vice-president of the Washington
! Monument Society was read by Dr.
J. C. Welling, president of the Colum|
bia University. This address was a
: representation of the part taken by the
society in the initiation of the subject,
and the construction of the monument.
! After these'exercises came the lla- I
sonic ceremonies by the Grand Lodge
of the District of Columbia, and at
their conclusion, the finished structure
was formally presented to the United
States by Colonel Casey, and accepted
by the President in a short written
address, concluding with the declaration
that this structure was dedicated
from this time forth to the immortal
name and memory of George "Washington.
This concluded the exercises at*the
i monmnent and the crowd repaired to
' the Capitol building, where the milij
tary were received by the President.
The exercises in the Hall of Reoresen
I tatives consisted of the reading of the
! address of Mr. Winthrop, by Rcpre|
sentative Long, of Massachusetts, and
i the address of John W. Daniel, the
j sivei-tongued or.ttor ofVirginia. The
' address of Mr. "Winthrop concluded
with the following language which
! seems to us very touching and appro
I ~
pnate:
t4Onr matchless obelisk stands proudly
before lis to-day, and we hail it with
the exultattions of a uniten and glorious
nation. It may, or may not, be
iroof against the cavils of critices, but J
lOthing of human construction is \
gainst the casualties of time. The !
torms of winter must blow and beat
ipon it. The action of.the elements
nust soil and discolor it. The lightlings
of Heaven may scar and blacken
t. An earthquake mry shake it> fotijoations.
Some mighty tornado, or reistless
cyclone, may rend its massive
'locks asunder and hurl huge fragments
to the ground. But the cliaiacer
which it commemorates and illusrates
is secure. It will remain unhanged
and unchangeable in all its
onsuinmate purity and splendor, and
will more and more " command- the
lomage of succeeding ages in all regions
of the earth. God be praised,
hat character is ours forever!"
The address of Mr. Daniel was a
nasterlv effortjjand elicited rounds of
nnlause.
This was the great memorial which
s to commemorate the valued services
f the "Father of His Country," preented
and dedicated to his memory,
owering above other monuments as
le towered above other men.

AYER'S
Hair vigor
restores, with the glodb and freshness of,
youth, faded or gray hair to a'natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as maybe desired.
By its use light or red hair maybe darkened,
thin hair thickened, and baldness often,
though not always, cured. . - j
It checks falling of the hair, and stimulates
a weak and sickly growth to vigor. - It''
prevents and cures scurf,and dandrutf, and
heals nearly every diseaso peculiar to the
scalp. As a Ladies' Hair Dressjpc, the
Vigor is unequalled; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mr. C. P. Bricher writes from Kirby, 0.,
July 3, 1882: "Last fall my hair commenced
falling oat, and in a short time I boCaiuc
nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of
Ayer's Hair Vigor, which stopped the fall*
ing of the hair, and started a new growth. I
have now a full head of hair growing vigotf
ousiy, ana am couvmcea mat bul lor uie
use of your preparation I should have been
entirely bald." .
J. W. Bovtbs, proprietor of the Mc Arthur
(.Ohio) Enquirer, says: "ayer'3 JIairVigob
is a most excellent preparation for the liair.
I speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy ana soft. The Vigor is also
a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction,"..:
Mb. Asgus Faibbaib5, leader of the
celebrated " Fairbairn Family " of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass., Feb. 6,
1SS0: "Ever since my hair began to give silvery
evidence of the change which fleeting
tinie procureth, I have used aver's Hair
Vigor, and so have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness?a matter of
/*rmci4T<vrnhl? tr% minictpra nrfl.
tors, actors, and in "fact every one who lives
in the eyes of the public." . -
Mrs. O. A. Pbescott, writing from 18 Elm
St., Charlestovm, Mass., April 14, 2882, says: ~
" Two years ago about two-thirds of mv liair
came off. It thinned very rapidly, and "I was
fast growing bald. On using Ayeb's Hatr
Vigob the falling stopped and a new growth
commenced, and in about a month my head
was completely covered with short hair. It
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. I regularly used but one bottle
cf the Vigob, but now use it occasionally as
a dressing." . .. ?
"We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of Ayeb's Haib Vigor. It
needs bnt a trial to convince the most skeptical
of its value. - i:-'.
