The colored Normal Institute of

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

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,

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

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

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

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

and that a lien rests upon the vessel for
the amounts specified. The Secretary

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

Great Britain has an old established
Society for the Conversion of Jews
to Christianity. The society enjoys

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. So
in successful fanning, first, the qnalitv
of the man, then the land, then the
work.

most of us would conclude during
these dry, hot, wilting days, that
first of all let us have rain. This is a
pretty good first, and reminds me of
Miss "Leslie's famous receipt for making
chicken soup, "First catch the chicken."
But as I have about run out or run

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.

Hair Vigor
restores, with the gloss and freshness of
youiQ, iaaea or gray mut (<u u uhuw, uui
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
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.
