An able opening address was made by the State Superintendent of Education, impressing upon teachers the great importance of their work and the responsibilities resting upon them and their profession. The Charleston Collectorship muddle is paid to be on the point of settlement by the ehoice of Theodore D. Jervev, who is said to have Senator Hampton's endorsement as a compromise man. The President has called ** ** "1 X* 4.^ iL. lor an papers naving reiereuce lw iuc matter. The French Chamber of Deputies has voted au appropriation of $800,000 to be expended in maintaining and educating every seventh child born in French families. The enactment applies to either sex, and is confined to children of parents in needy circumstances. It is to enconrage an increase in French population. A leading exchange timely remarks that such a . pension would bankrupt the United States. The Washington correspondent of tiie J\ew Yoric uommerciac Advertiser says that an effort will be made at the next session of Congress to prevent the appointment of Representative Morrison, of Illinois, as chairman ol the committee on ways and means. Bis unpopularity on account of his position on the tariff seems to be the cause, and the Conservative Demo, crats claim that it is due to them that he be not forced upon them. Already the press of the State is beginning to discuss persons as suitable to fill the State offices after the expiration of the term of the present ones. The Abbeville Medium of last week publishes the following slate, but suggests that it might be changed somewhat: ! For Governor, John P. Richardson; Lieutenant Governor, D. S. Henderson ; secretary of State, E. H. Bobo; attorney-general, Joseph H. Earle; | treasurer, fl. A. Gaillard; comptoilergeneral, E. B. Murray; superintendent of education, F. W." McMaster; adjutant-general, M. L. Bonham, Jr. The following statement was made by Postmaster General Vilas a few ??a in Mfamnoa trt a fnrthor XM 1UWVUW VW ? reduction in postage: I think there is bat little doubt that we shall have a penny postage for letters. I shall recommend it in my report to Congress, and the people pr? ?trarrt?1*7 g'vu a fuicnei.?retraction iir1 letter postage. There is no reason why this department should be any more nearly self-sustaining than the other departments, and if penny postage should create a deficit of a few millions a year for a while I guess the treasury is rich enough to stand it. To show the effect of personal calls upon the President, it is men tioned as a fact that an applicant for a foreign position who was introduced to the President first by a distinguished army officer, at another time by the Congressman from his district, and subsequently by himself, at all of which calls bis application was the subject of the conversation that ensued, was surprised to And when be called again without an introduction and talked upon the same subject to hear . the President ask him whom be would recommend for the place. The State Press AsociatioH will meet in Greenville on the 14th inst. A pleasant programme has been selected and we have no doubt bnt the "qnill drivers" of the State will meet with a hearty welcome in the mountain city. Every paper in the State should have a representative, as such meeting cannot hnt. resnlt beneficiallv to the Dress ot the State. Addresses will be delivered by Capt. T. H. Clarke, of the Catnden Journal, and Jno. S. Reynolds, Esq., of The News and Herald. It is expected that the excursionists will be taken to several places of importance in the "Land of the Sky." It has been reported that the opinion of the Attorney-General in reference to the contract made by the United States with Boach. the builder of the Dolrthin. was t<> the effect that she -J- , would have to be accepted, but it now turns ont that it is jnst the opposite. His opinion, which was made public on the 12th inst., is a lengthy one. He holds that the Government is not bound to accept the vessel{ and that the amounts paid to John Roach, her ' builder, may be recovered from him, and that a lien rests upon the vessel for the amounts specified. The Secretary of the Navy is determined that the Government shall have value received in all its transactions, and is doing iA ikAftknoAa tn fka "VoTm uiuuu wj iucauu??9 xu wu*# Department. The excitement in London over recent revelations made by the Pall Mali Gazette continues without abatement. The doorways and windows of the Gazette office are under the control of tlie police. The exposures made by the Gazette have caused great excitement all over the country. It is stated that all good men are supporting it iu its warfare. It is probable that the facts will be snbmitted to a party of responsible men to see if statements made are true or not. Cardinal Manning has accepted the proposition to be one of the number. The committee of examiners will have the privilege of reporting to the public the result of their examination in such a was as they deem best. The New York World suggest that the tops of some of the : ;v*; -L>* v - V. ? I houses in that city be lifted off and see what the inside will reveal. Great Britain has an old established Society for the Conversion of Jews to Christianity. The society enjoys ft irmrno neorK' ?900 000. w v* "v?v >-""1?? and in the last report of the worfc of the missions it was officially stated that three members of the Hebrew community had express a desire to become Christians "if they could induce their wives to follow their example," and that during the entire year twelve Jews had been baptized in London. Some years ago at a meeting of this rvwAfi/lA/? K*f Y^iiciouic a^ouuauvu ^ictiugu v/ivi w; Lord Shaftesbury, at Exeter Hall, ihe noble Lord declared, in an elaborate speech, that the society had worked so hard during that year that it had converted three eminent Constantinople Hebrews to Christianity, but that they proved to be very unreliable Jews, for they ran away to the synagogue immediately after they had been christened and got about a thousand guineas apiece. It stated that Mr. Kelly, the Tammany leader, is soon to be heard from on the political situation and to present the relations of Tammany to the Cleveland administration. It is believed that he is about to retire from political life, and his statement will be of the nature of a farewall address. A leading exchange makes the following statement concerning his promised pronunciation: It was his intention to have prepared it for the Fourth of July Tammany celebration, but the infirm state of his health prevented its completion in season. His position with reference to civil service relorm is said to he this? that it is an unconstitutional stretch of power to enable Republicans to keep in office by keeping Democrats out; that it is the constitutional function of the President to nominate and the Senate to confirm, and any immediate nowftr or hodv which interferes with or imposes conditions opon the free! exercise of that right is simply an usurpation which cannot be too strongly rebuked. The Indian troubles seem to be growing more serious every day, and extensive preparations are being made to quell any outbreak or disturbance. The officer in charge has telegraphed to Washington stating that it is doubtful whether the outbreak can be suppressed without bloodshed. The President addressed a letter to General Sheridan on the 10th inst. directing him to proceed to the scene of the difficulties and to concentrate all available troops to a place convenient to quell all disturbances* and prevent depredations. The President states that the Indians mast be assured that the Government is determined by all powers at command to enforce their peaceful conduct and to punish all acts of lawlessness and violence. It is hoped that a settlement can be reached without bloodshed. The New York Financial Chronicle of the 11th inst. speaks encouragingly of the financial situation. The pros pects for a large crop in the South are bright. It says: Such an abundance oLirilo Tacts Indicate for the coming months, with foreign exchange continuing to rule low, are conditions obviously favorable to a growth in legitimate enterprise, and it is therefore no sur prise that they encourage that expectation. Of similar influence is the news of the week respecting crop development. The loss in winter wheat is a historical fact now, and yet eveu in that case there is some evidence that the results may possibly be less disastrous tlian reports claim. But with the exception of wheat there is very little unfavorable that can be said other than local harm from local storms. To be sure, corn is late, but a^ we have remarked on previous occasions good weather will change all that, and this week has been hot and favorable, so that excellent progress is being made, while the best information shows that the Acreage is decidedlv increased in important States. So also respecting onHnn oil thr* oe&nran^snf thfi lftrffPSt yield on recerd. The troth is, all kinds of crops are doing well in the South, and the influx of buyers this week in our markets from the South and Southwest is a reflection of the improved prospects of those sections now. . The recent, utterances of Senator Conger, of Michigan, on the subject of the probable attitude of the enate with reference to removals from office made by the President have given fresh hopes to Republican partisans who advocate opposition to all confirmations involving removals. But there can be no doubt that the extreme partisanship of Senator Conger has led him him into the suggestion of a position in which it would simply impossible for the Senate to maintain itself before the country. The Senate cannot lay down any rule which would commit that hodv ncrainsfc Kanctionins" re? movals made without what it may consider just cause. The tenure-ofoffice Act was passed in 1867, but since its enactments nine-tenths of the removals made without cause, but simply at the arbitrary will and pleasure of the executive, have been sanctioned by the Senate. Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur turned out by the hundred men of their own political party, to put in personal friends or adherents, without the least protest on the part of the Senate, and that body wilt not undertake to lay down a limit for a Democratic President which it did not prescribe for a Republican. Information has been received at the White House that E. F. Noyes, of Ohio, known in politics as "Index" Noves, has declined the appointment of government director of the Union Pacific Railroad. The President tendered him the position on the suggestion of Governor Hordlv, of Ohio, during the tetter's recent visit to 'Washington, It appears that the President, Secretary Lamar and Governor Hoadly were dining together when the subject of appointing the railroad directors on the part of the government came up. It was deemed advisable to appoint at least one Repnblican on the commission, whereupon Governor Hoadlv recommended Noyes. The selection of Noyes has been heartily condemned among Democrats, who resognize him as one of the principals in the rape of the Presidency of 187G. To him was allotted the task of upholding before the Florida State canvassers returns manu[ factored aud forged by a person who | quietly confessed the crime. He took ! a prominent part in the seating of ex! President Hayes, and in so doing was ! uppuseu to auvcniui nuauiv, wiiv made the argument for Mr. Tilden in the Oregon case. It is that as soon as these facts became known to the President, he informed Governor Hoadly that Noves's appointment was objectionable, whereupon Governor j Hoadly induced Noyes to decline. The Convict Carap. j Some time in June the report reached Governor Thompson that the convicts employed by the Savannah Valley Railroad were bein<r cruellv treated by 6ome of the guards in charge of the camp. The Governor at once directed the superintendent of the penitentiary to investigate the charges and to examine personally the general condition of the convicts leased by the railroad, and to report the result of such examination and instigation. As soon as possible Superintendent Lipscomb, accompanied by the penitentiary physician, visited the camp in Abbeville couuty, and the following report of its conditjpn was made to the Governor: To His Excellency Hugh S. Thompson, Governor of Sooth Carolina?Sir: I have the honor to report that in obedience to your communication of the 17th inst., I proceeded with Dr. Pope, physician of the penitentiary, on that day to visit the convict camp of Major A. J. Twiggs, on the Savannah Valley Railroad, in Abbeville county. On reaching Abbeville C. H. that evening, I had a conversation with the gentlemen named by Col. J. C. Haskell iu his communication, and was shown a role from a gentleman in the neighborhood stating tbat the convict reported to have been so severely whipped had died 011 Sunday morning, the 14th inst. Mr. M. L. Bonham, Jr., acting for Solicitor Orr, on this information instructed the coroner to go to the camp and hold an inquest. The body was exhumed and the inquest held in my presence on Thursday morning, and I attach hereto a copy fvP tho fin^inor nf thA inrv tncrpthpr with the certificates of the two physicians who were sworn and testified. As will be seen by the certificates, it was found on investigation that Simon Daniels, the man who had died on Sunday, died from natural causes. Dr. Pope Viewed the body also and concurred in the opinion of the other phycisians. I found, however, that one man, Henry Porter by name, had been most cruelly beaten, and I requested the coroner to take the entire jury to the camp and make a personal examination of his case, which he kindly did, and for myself I must say that I have never in my life seen a human being more brutally beaten. Besides Henry Porter, Frank Smiley was the only man who had been severely beaten, although four others showed* slight scars. All the convicts claimed that their whippings had been mnictecl Dy one a. w. uacKson, wno bad been left in charge of the camp in the absence of Mr. C. M. Carroll, the regular overseer, and I am credibly inlormed and believe that the said A. W. Jackson is responsible for all of this treatment. I have, therefore, sworn out a warrant for his arrest. In justice to Mr. Carroll, who was in charge of the camp when we arrived, f -wotiut say tnat ne was anxious that the inquest should be held, not only on the body of Daniels, bu< on all of the others who had been recently buried. I would also state that Dr. Taggart told me that Mr. Carroll was uniiormly kind to the convicts, and never sent them out to work until reported fit for duty by him, and he (Dr. Taggart) had visited the camp every day since they had been there except about four days. All of the convicts at the camp and also those recently returned to the penitentiary regard Mr. uarron as weir iriena, ana speak in high terms of his kindness, although Mr. Carroll, himself, admits, that he worked them more than the ten hours per day allowed by law. These convicts are not working under the recent Act of the Legislature, and therefore the guards are not of ray appointment, but ?ince my return I have notified Mr. Carroll that he must comply with Section 2,730 of the Revised Statutes, governing the hours of labor, etc., and have sent him a copy of the section. While there I cautioned him that he was marching his hands too far to their work, (between two and one-half to three miles.) He explained by saying that he could not get a sufficient supply of pure water 1'jr the convicts any nearer tQ the work, and further said that in about a week's time be would finish the work he was now on and would move nearer to the stockade. I would call your attention to the report of the physician. Dr. Pope, for the statement of the physical condition of the convicts. 1 found that they had plenty of food (bread, meat and* peas), but a scaicity of fresh vegetables. They also had snfficient clothing and blankets, although the blankets needed washing; and there was a scarcity of straw, which Mr. Carroll promised to have corrected within a few days. I found nine graves at this camp, the date of death having been reported at this office as fAllftira fnn i* 1 a of cin/?o T loff- Pa*. iV/uv/iTO) tug ivui giuvA> j. awi. vw lumbiatomake the inspection: Mav 9, 18, 18, 26, 30, June 10,10,11 and 13. Dr. Taggart has promised to send a certificate setting forth the cause of death in each case, and I have directed the coroner to hold an inquest on the body of Henry Porter in case of his death. I also* found that there had been two escapes for this year, one on the 19th of May and one on the 9th of June. Mr. Carroll informed me that he had discharged Jackson immediately on his return to the camp, and while he should be given credit for this prompt discharge, I told him that instead of discharging Jackson he should have had him arrested for his cruelty. In conclusion, I am informed that Major Twiggs, the contractor, has not visited the camp for three mouths, but leaves the entire management to Capt. Carroll. Respectfully submitted, T. J. Lipsccwb, Superintendent. It appears from this report that there is no dout bat some of the convicts have been shamefully treated. It seeems that the regular overseer has been absent from the camp for some time, and that it has been under the control of a man bv the name of Jackson, whose treatment has resulted in the death of several sonvicts. If there is ever a coward we believe it is the man who takes advantage of another whose position and condition deprives him of the right of self-defense. Ii is hard to even imagine a man who would so far forget himself and the feeling of humanity as to deliberately take advantage of the position which he occupies and be guilty of such cruel treatmont as the report of the superintendent shows to hare been inflicted by Jackson ou some of the convicts. Mr. X i ^ .. ata?I???j?w Carroll attempts to escape responsibility by savins that it was done in his absence; but does this clear his skirts entirely when he admits, himself, that he has worked them more hours per ua.y man uie law [juimiibr He is probably not gniitv of inflicting any whipping, but lie has violated the law in compelling Ihe convicts to work more than they arc required by the State. It has only been a few years since a similar treatment was inflicted upon leased convicts in the same county on the Greenwood & Augusta Railroad. Xo pains should be spared to capture tbe man Jackson and make him suffer the consequences of his acts and inhuman treatment. The whole thing is a forcible argument, going to show the unwisdom and injustice of leasing convicts at all. They should be kept under the control of State officers, where their treatment maybe obesrved by men whose duty it is to see that they arc properly cared for and pro tectcd, even though tney oe convicts. ITEMS FROM MORRIS CREEK. Messrs. Editors: I shall now say some things omitted in inv letter of last week. "We have iu this section of our county the old Fairfield Gcanite Quarry. This is on lands now owned by Mr. Robert Crawford. Mr. Crawford has now leased this quarry for five years to Stewart & Co., of Nashville, 'i'enu. The agent of the company, Mr. II. F. Frizzelle, is here 16 sec that all orders coming from the company are promptly executed. This granite is the blue, not the gray; and is susceptible of a fiue polish. Speci mens of this granite, I have been;informed, have been sent to "Washington, and there pronounced by experts to be equal if not superior to any from the celebrated granite State Nevfc Hampshire. Many of your readers have seen in Columbia that beautiful granite building on the upper part of Maiii street, embracing the postoffice and court-house (United States) which stands as an ornament to the city and a specimen of the blue granite irorn Crawford's quarry. To most of the towns an*, cities in this State this rock has be^.. sent, to beautify monuments, etc., as well as buildings, both public and private. So you will see, Messrs. Editors, that this will make some atonement for the lands in the vicinity ot the quarry. It is also a great convenience to the neighborhood in building, and also iir posts for enclosing vards and gardens, and these posts, like the Irishman's iron coffin, will last him all his lifetime. A cubic footpf granite weighs 160 pounds. We have also, through the energy of Mr. Crawford, a good wheat mill, corn mill and saw mill, run by a 20-horse engine from Tanner, Delany & Co., Richmond, V"a. The corn mill, wheat mill and snutter all run at the same time. This mill has ground over ninety bushels of wheat in a day, and Mr. Crawford says when everything is ri?ht he can cut seven thousand feet in a day with a 25o. 2 saw. Mr. Craw. lord nas also secured tne services oi an experienced miller, Mr. Thos. Yarborough, who is not only experienced in machinery bnt possesses an unusaal degree of mechanical genius. So we can have bread if we would only make the corn. But suecess in farming is sonrcwiiat HKe success in making good corn bread?three things are to be considered?first, the qnalitv of the corn; second, the character of the grinding; and third, the manner of baking.

Arrangements Slaking for the Reunion on tlie Fiwld of Seven Pines. (Chester Reporter, July 9.) There was a lar^e meeting: of the Chester division of the survivor of the Sixth Regiment, S. (J. V., at the Court nouse on jwonaay. 1 no rresweut, Lieut. C. \V. McFadden, stated the objects of the meeting to be as expressed in the published call: viz., the election of officers, and to provide for the annual reunion of the Regimeut in August. Unfinished business being called for, on motion of W. A. Sanders, the coinmittee in charge of this matter was continued, with intruction to report to the president of this division at the regimental reunion in August. The election for officers to serve for the ensuing year resulted in the reelection, by acclamation, of the former officers, viz: C. \V. McFadden, President; 0. A. YVSlie and H. S. Hardin, Vice-Presidents; John H. Buchanan, Secretary; R. VV. Strieker, Treasurer. W. A. Saudera read a telegram from Col. Jas. H.

Major McLure also ottered the following resolution: Resolved, That all persons who intend to take part with this division in the excursion to Richmond, Va., of the survivors of the Sixth Regiment, be requested to give their names at as early a day sis possible, not later than the 20th in'st., to John II.

The resolution was adopted. On motion of W. A. Sanders, the Lee Light Infantry, of Chester, tiie Gordon Light Infantry, of Winnsboro, and the Sandy River Band were cordially invited to join in the excursion to Richmond. W. A. Sanders moved that a committee of two members of this division be appointed by the president, subject to the direction of the executive cornmil tee of the Regimental Association, said committee to act in concurrence with a similar committee of the Fairfield division; ihis joint committee to proceeJ to Richmond to make necessary arrangements for the reunion at Seven Pines. The motion was adopted, and Capt. W. T. D. Cousar and Lient. J. S. Drennan were appointed a committee from the Chester division. The meeting then adjourned. A CAROLINA ARTIST. A Deserved Compliment to the Talents of Mr. Albert Gnerry. [Brora the Baltimore Tdegram.~\ A portrait artist whose work is now attracting an unusual amount of attention, and evoking in some quarters enthusiastic admiration is Mr. Albert Gaerrv, a native of South Carolina, anr? vplv ?. mnner mnn nrhn has come to make his home in rl-nc city. In other cities North and South Mr. Gnerry's productions have likewise found warm and unstinted appreciation, and eminent officials, dis- tin<fuished private citizens, and most competent press critic3 have rendered tributes to his genius of the most earnest character. Of the number of prominent persons whose portraits Mr. Guerry has painted, may be mentioned those of General liobert E. Lee, John C. Calhoun, General Robert Toombs, General Gordon, Bishop Lynch, exGovernor Hartranft, Alexander H. Stephens, Wm. C. Preston, Archbishop Gibbons, and many others whose names are familiar to" the countrv. In mauv casta mi. uruen^ uau never seen the subjects of his work and relied upon ordinary photographs. But his success was " nevertheless admirable and the fidelity of the likeness and expression was amply certified to, and in some instances by official action of State assemblies and pnblicinstitutions. Since residing here Mr. Guerry has painted the potrait of our distinguished citizen, Mr. Euoch Pratt, and which has a conspicuous place on the walls of the Enoch Pratt Free Library. There is no division of opinion as to his work. Its merits of execution are freely acknowledged and as a likeness it is inimitable. - Portraits recently from the easel of Mr. Guerry and now : to be seen at his studio, are those of < the late Miss Josephine E. Hopkins, | and three deceased children of wellknown citizens. These portraits were ' from photographs, but their accuracy ' oi lineness ana arusnc nmsn nave elicited high praise from those who ! knew the originals in life. In thus, referring to Mr. Guerry.'s work it is i proper that something should be said \ here in regard to his special qualities ; as an artist. First of all his style is 1 original. Discarding conventionality to a very great degree he cannot be , claimed to be a representative of any i particular school. As a colorist he is i inimitable, and his flesh-tints almost J. glow with life and would seem to yield : to the very touch. In his lights and shades the harmony is wonderfnl and , there is a pervading atmosphere about j and around the figure?an effect re- ! quiring the most exquisite skill, and \ which but few artist ever attained so ; perfectly, It is the intelligence and ; depth of expression, however, that peculiarly distinguish Mr. Guerry's portraits, and which is the first great quality of them that impresses the beholder. His are almost speaking portraits, fall of vitality and glow and earnestness, and revealing the very attributes of the character of the per sonage represented, in a wora jar. Guerrv's portraits are gems of high art ' and models of physical fidelity and truthfulness. This" is no exaggerated praise. Professionals' and laymen . have accorded it to him in 'warmer ^ wards than these, and no one can view his work without being in like manner . impressed. It is to be hoped that this superb artist will have encouragement 1 quite sufficient to determine him to make Baltimore his permanent abode, ; for he is certainly sn acquisition of thorough genius and rare gifts, and by whose presence our art culture can be greatly aided. ?Judge Cheno with, on behalf of a ] number of Texas soldiers, has present- : ed Gen. Rosecrans with a pistol captured by Texans in a raid on his baggage train in the summer of 1864. On the stock of the pistol are inscribed the names of the battles in whici* Gen. Rosecrans was victorious. The Gen- ; eral was much pleased with his present ' and with the manner of its restora- I tioh. j ?Ayar's Sarsaparilla is the most J effective blood purifier ever devised.

By its use light or red hair maybe darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not always, cored. It checks falling of the hair, and stimulates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and heals nearly every disease peculiar to the scalp. As a Ladies' Hair Dressing, the Vigob is unequalled; it contains neither oil nor dye, renders the hair soft, glcssy, and i silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate, J agreeable, and lasting perfume. Mb. C. P. BbicHEE writes from Kirby, 0.. July 3,1882: " Last fall my hair commenced falling out, and in a short time I became nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of Ayeb's Haib Vigob, which stopped the falling of the hair, and started a new growth. I have now a full head of bair growing vigorously, and am convinced that but for the use of your preparation I should hare been entirely bald." J. "W. Bowes, proprietor of the lie Arthur (.Ohio) Enquirer, says: "ayeb's HaikVioob is a most excellent preparation for the hair. I speak of it from my own experience. Its use promotes the growth of new hair, and niilioc it. mrt TTlA vlgob is alSO a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction." Me. AXGC3 Faibbaibx, leader of the celebrated " Fairbairn Family " of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass., Feb. 6, 1SS0: 4< Ever since my hair began to give silvery evidence of the change which fleeting time procureth, I have used Ayeb's Hate Viooe, and so have been able to maintain an appearance of youthfalness?a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, orators, actors, and in fact every one who lives in the eyes of the public." Mrs. O. A. Pbescott, writing from IS Elm St., Charlestown, Mass., April 14, 1882, says: " Two years ago about two-thirds of my came off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was fast growing bald. On using Ayeb's Haib ' Vrnno tli? thIHtict st?r>n<?d and a new STOWth commenced, and in about a month my head . \ra3 completely covered with short hair. It lias continued to grow, and is now as good as before i t fell. I regularly used but one bottle of the Vigob, but now use it occasionally as a dressing." We have hundreds of similar testimonials to the efficacy of Ateb's Haib Yigob. It needs but a trial to convince the most gkepticalof its value. PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer& Co., Lowell, Mass.
