It is reported that officials are suppressing the news and that the reports of the mortality are far below the truth. Xow siuce the Republicans of Virginia have nominated John S. Wise for Governor, it behooves the Democrats to nominate a strong man?one who will enter the canvass with a vim and a determination to win the State j for honest government. No better man ! in the State could be fonnd to head the ticket than Gen. FitzLee. The Secretary of the Treasury has addressed a letter to the leading iin^ porters asking their views as to the advisability of simplifying the tariff 1 rr: ~ <i.^ n;anTC id piati xu deputing lii^ ucwo \jx the prominent business men and ira, r porters of the country vill enable him to <orm a better conclusion as to the bt?t and most available remedy to be pursued. .The President has been importuned to appoint men from civil life to fill the vacancies 01 lieutenants in me army. He has considered the matter, and says that as the next graduat'rg class from West Point will probably be a large one that he thinks these vacancies should be reserved for the regular graduates of the Academy, and for this reason does not think that he would be justified in appointing men from civil life. On account of alleged irregularities in the office of the coast surrey, secretary Manning has suspended a number of officials in that department pending an examination and investigation into the alleged frauds by a commission appointed by him. The secretary is determined that his department of the Government shall be ran on strictly honest businass principles. The conntry will support him in the determination to rid the Government of unworthy officials. It is reported that (Jen. Grant in conversation with an old classmate a lew days ago wade the following remark: "I have witnessed since my sickness just what I have wished to see ever since the war?barmony and good feeling between the sections. I have always contended that if there had been nobody left but the soldiers we should have had peace within a year." This statement is very appropriately styled by a leading exchange as ua deathbed repentance."

He urges as a reason for this discontinuance that it is not the duty of the Government to furnish seed to the y farmers of the country, and that in ' most cases the farmers buy themselves what seed they desire. That it is 110 . more the duty of the Government to furnish seed free of cost than it Is to furnish them with farming: implements 4 and machinery. Of course Cocgressmen like to distribute seed to their constituents when it costs them nothing. If his recommendation is carried out it will do away with a very expensive department. m* The Marlboro Chronicle announces that hereafter it will be an advocate of general prohibition, and will nse its influence in securing a general prohi? bitiou to the people of Sout^^auglina. It seems to have watched the effect of prohibition iu its own connty and gathered therefrom sufficient evidence of its advantages to warrant it in its present course. We do not doubt but that it has worked perfectly satisfactory in Marlboro eonntv and other conn ties also, bat has the time yet arrived when it can be safely brought into State and national politics? The question was made a State issue in North Carolina a few years ago and not with good results to say the least. We believe the time is gradually approaching when it can be made a State issue, but it is still in the future, and to say the least wc believe it would be dangerous to push the question at this time into State politics. The New York Journal of Commerce says the following of the appointment of foreign ministers: Oor Government should fully recognize the right of other countries to decide whom they will, or will not, welcome as our accredited agents; for at any time our self-respect may impel us to reject the representative of some foreism power at Washington. If such a mail has for any reason, by word, speech or act, made himself odious to the President and his Cabinet or to the American people, an official hint woold, doubtless, suffice to procure his recall and the appointment of some person with whom it would be more agreeable to transact business. It is because we claim the utmost rights for the United States in these matters that we are so free to concede the same latitude to foreign gevemments. There is some reason for the above statement, as it certainly would be unpleasant to our Government to have a man forced upon us contrary to our wishes, but probably the best way would be to appoint acceptable ones at first then there would be no reason for recalling. The Baltimore Jdtrata in an article upon Southern cotton mills gives the following encouraging oatlook for these mills: Undoubtedly the Sonthern cotton mills nossess advantages which, if properly utilized, can but enable them to distance their Northern competitors. Indeed, in the opinion of thinking people, it is but 2 question of time when the South vr'H monopolize the cotton manufactures of the country. The Southern cotton mills have like opportunities to those of the great flourishing mills of the Northwest^ but the cut-throat mode of carrying on bnsiness has been adopted by "the cottou manufacturers of the South, and it j has Income necessary to call a halt to J devise remedial measures. Accordingly, a convention of mill owners in Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana has "been called to meet in Atlanta on July 27 to examine the matter of cotton manufactures and agree upon a plan, the executiou of which will promise the best results to the business of the Southern mills. It is to be hoped that some plan can j adnnfpd which will brinff about the I best results to the manufactories of the country, for we see no reason why they cannot be made as successful as the Northern mills. The Agricultural Outlook. For a week past we have taken occasion to inquire from at least one man from every section of the county what were the prospects in their section for - i f.,n a la/uiiicuud viciu vi an tiup uuo xau* | Without a single exception tne reports j were most encouraging, and ali expected the larges; crop that we have had for years. In a portion of the western side of the county some com* plaint was made that they were needing rain, but not so mach as to injure ot i iwu>"ijr iiu^ vi vj/j p? wiuvu n*vj *?% % rain iu a few days. In all other portions of the county the seasons had been everything that could be desired, and both corn and cotton looked better than they had done at this season for a number of years. From what we could gather there had been more corn planted than for some years past, and the farmers gen erally were beginning to realize that the successful tiller of the soil always made it a point to first produce everything necessary for consumption at home, and then raise as much cotton and other saleable articles not needed at home as possible. For the past two or three years the crops have been very j bad, and a number of our farmers j actually would have saved money by j not attempting a crop at all; others have gone considerably in debt on I account of the failure; and it should j be a matter of congratulation that the j present prospects are so very encouraging. With a continuance of the seasons we hare had heretofore everything points to a large yield, and the farmers placed once more upon their feet. Every one will rejoice with them on thvj encouraging outlook for we are ?* II- J Al - 1 J ...

General Grant'* Funeral. Since the death of Gen. C rant numerous places have been mentioned as suitable and appropriate as his last resting place. Before his death he expressed the wish oi being buried so - a 1 - 13 1. _ / * 1 ? J _ rnac ms wire coma oe interred oesiue him at her death, and u<entioned Wash-1 ington, West Poiut, Springfield, 111., and New York as places wise re he wonld be willing to be baried. It was hoped by the people ot the National capital that his family would finally decide npou that city, as he had often said that the happiest days of his life had been "spent there. West Point claimed the honor, and urged as a reason that he was a graduate of the Military Academy, arid had occupied the highest position in the army. New York urged that he should be buried in Central Park, as the last days of his life were spent in that citv. The last place named has been selected by his family aud he will be buried on tlio 8th of August. His remains wiH be kept at Mount McGregor until the 4th of Augast, when the funeral cortege will be conveyed by a special train direct to Albany. There it will be kept in state ?.t the capitoi for twenty-four hours. From Albany they will be conveyed to New York city on Wednesday afternoon, and will lie in state at the City Hall until Saturday, the Sth, when they will be conveyed to Central Park and interred with national honors. Vice-President Hendricks has designate a. bojlv cf Senators to attend the funeral?among the number will be the Hon. "Wade Hampton, of Sooth Carolina. A Collector Appointed* There is no Federal office in ocr State over which there has been more feeling and contention than the Collectnrshin of Hnsfcoms for thfi nort of Charleston. A host of applicants all well endorsed, and men in every way capable and well fitted to fill the office satisfactory to the business men of Charleston and to the government had been urged for the position by their different frieuds before the President; and the Secretary of the Treasury. Perhaps the two most prominent candidates in the field for some time were Messrs. Mowrv and Walker. The business men of the city were very evenly divided between the two, and considerable feeling was shown by their friends on the subject, and it was verv aDnarent that as between the two the appointment of either wonld not meet with satisfaction from the friends of the other. Considering this State of afikirs it was apparent to every one, and to the President, that it wonld not be advisable to appoint either of these gentlemen. When once decided in this nnnrse it became a matter of sneenla- i tion wbo would be the successful mau for the position. On the 25th inst the President dis-1 pelied all doubts upon the question by appointing Mr. Theodore D. Jervev to be Collector of Customs for the district of Charleston. Mr. Jervev is a Coarlestonian by birth and has spent his entire life in fcfce city. He has alwav9 taken an active part in the politics of his county and of the State, and is a man in every way well qualified to fill this responsible position. From what we can gather this appointment will meet with the approval of the business men of Charleston and is a wise solution of the complicated question. (lipiicra! Krant. The expected event Las come. The life of General Grant, which has been i slowiy eooxng away lor tnc last nine j mouths, has been brought to a close, i aud he is 110 more. On Thursday morning, surrounded by his family j and friends at Mount McGregor, N. Y., j he breathed his last. j His life was a checkered one. From . the time he left West Point as a lieutenant in the United States army up to i the time of his death his fBrtune was | ever varying. That Gen. Grant was a gallant soldier and a man of considerable military genius no one can hardly question, but whether his rapid promotion from almost obscurity in the late war was caused by general merit is mere speculation. Circumstances seemed to favor him, and from the time he took command of a company of volunteer troops at Springfield, Illinois, he rose rapidly and at last became the commander of the i/nion ! army. His military views were <?ouewhal | Napoleonic?never considering the ! number of men it would cost him to j gain a point, but determined once upon a line of action he pursued it vigorously, no matter what consequences wouid follow. When the Southern army had /Inrun tn o mem nnminfll rtnp VI .. "V " " W c ...v. V, -- ? 5 and the impossibility of raising reinforcements stared the leaders in the face, there seemed to be little hope for the Confederacy. General Grant, with au immense army, well equipped, and the General Government at his back, commenced the action which ended in the surrender of the little band of Con federates at Appomattox Court House on April 9th, I860. When the news spread that the rebellion was over, the whole North hailed General Grant as their deliverer, his name was honored in every Northern home, and his military achievements won for him the applause of the entire North. Three years after he was nominated and elected President of the United States." As an Execntivc officer he showed his partisanship, and his inability to administer the affairs of the government. He was a simple tool in ?,he hands of his friends, and cared little for the country so long as soft places were secured for those friends. Notwithstanding his failure in the administration of the government, he was nominated and elected tor a second term, which was marked by the scandals concerning government contracts, l whiskey frauds, and his bitter opposi tion to the South. As a man of military ability we will not question, but as an Executive officer and statesman he was, to say the i^ost, not above ordinary. Only a few weeks ago upon his death bed he said the time for which be had longed had at last come ?that the bloody chasm had been bridged and the right hand of fellowi j i j \ir. snip nau oeea grasped across- tie believe we voice the sentiment of the people of South when we say that no man did more to keep open the old sore and increase, sectional hate than did General Grant. While President he let no occasion slip to oppress the people of the South and uphold the rule of Radicals in many of the Southern States. After leaving the White House at the expiration of his second term he made a tour of the world, and was honored by the crowned heads of Europe and other countries. As soon as he returned he commenced to pull the political wires for the Presidential nomination to serve a third term but was defeated. Since that time he has j lived in New York, and until about a year ago was a member of the firm of Graut & "Ward, with the failure of whom the country is familiar. It is bu* due to him to say that in this failure no suspicion was connected with bis name of dishonest dealings. We are not so hard hearted as not to mourn for him, bnt it is simply the fpplina nf man for his fellow-man anri ! nothing more. We do not believe he was the foremost citizen of the country. "We do not believe the South weeps for him?God forbid that they should be so hypocritical. But why should we discuss his frailties, they are known to every one, and especially to the people of South who experienced his misrule. Let the grave ? _ ' cover his faults and men forget them, and only remember the good he has done. XOTES FROM TEXAS. Messrs. Editors: Reports from every section of the State give a fine account of the crops. The yield of wheat ana I oats is said to be very fine. Cotton is fruiting well and promises a good crop. Picking will soon commence in the southern section. Old corn is made, and the agricultural outlook is bright indeed; its to be hopad such is the case all over our united land. Good crops brings prosperity to all business. RailKnil/^innr Iiqq ivau uuiiui o liuo wuiuivu^u ? a sure sign of better times. Wiih new roads comes new towns, and the Western people are never happier than when building up new places. Texas, with her rich and cheap lands, offers great inducements to the homeless. To those that have never seen the rich, black prairies of Northern and "Western Texas, its hard to form any idea of their great fertility. As Bill Arp said In passing through Northern Texas not long ago, "it was one of the most firtil and promising sections that he had ever seen, and if he were young it would be his home."

PISE GROVE SCHOOL, Closing Exercises of the Last Session?A Pleasant Time and a Fine Showing. Messrs. Editors: By special request, 011 Friday, the 17th iost., we attended an examination of the pupils of Pine Grove School, located near Pine Grove church (Cedar Creek), and presided over by the deservedly popular teacher Mr. J. W. Jones. Having travelled over a pretty rough road, we arrived at the school-house in due time. There we found assembled the patrons and pupils of the school, the former anxious to see what progress there children had made; the latter, from appearance, were conscious of the fact that ?hev h.id not idled away their time, and were prepared for the trying ordeal through which they were soon to pass. At the appointed time the different classes were called up and examined on the various brauches. By the promptness and accuracy with which they answered the questions propounded, they soon convinced the audience that both they and their teacher had discharged their duty during the past term. The examination over, several essays were read by some of the older pupil's.! Miss Eula E. Entzminger read an essay, "From the Ranks", followed by Misses Kitty A. Broom, subject? "Selfishness"; Jesse C. Robertsorf, "mull"; Mary A. Aoeii, "fresent, Past a*d Future". We thiuk there was another, whose name and subject have escaped onr recollection. These essays were well read, and displayed considerable research and thought on the part of the writers. Several dialogues followed?one of which afforded some amusement, and proved to the satisfaction of all present that the "possession of gold" exerted, a considerable influence over the city mothersin-law who are so fortunate as to secure a son-in-law from the country. The school commissioner being present, by request addressed the audience 011 the importance of educating the young. After this, we were requested to repair to the table, to partake of the many nice thing which the ladies had prepared for the occasion. The pupils of course received places first, and the others afterwards. A blessing was asked and all were requested to help themselves. Now, Messrs. Editors, we know you are fond of good eating and plenty of it, and we would advise you, should opportunity offer, to pay a visit to that section of country, and haying done so, we will guarautee you will be glad to have an excuse to renew your visit. The people in that section have shown the interest they take in the i nause of education bv erectine- a com fortable school building and by supplementing the teacher's salary. They thus have the benefit of six or eight months' schooling for their children. x. y. z. [The above communication was unavoidably omitted from our last issue. ?Eds.] JOURNALISM IN BRAZIL. One Editor's Opinion of the Editor Killed by Consul Maclcey. [From the Mercantile, Rio Grande do Sul Brazil, 7th ultimo. ] The City of Rio Grande, by its popular tribunal, the legitimate representative of its judicial system, has proclaimed and guaranteed the ri<rht of a ^entlemau to put to death, when unjustly assailed, that social viper who spreads libelous pasquinades in the community, makes a professipn nf fthp black art of defamation and~sf>?o?i?fe" in assaults upon the honor of staiiuels families. The jarv of Rio Grande do Snl have unanimously absolved Mr. Bedford Mackey, Consul of the United States, who was accused of making a deadly assault against the life of Thadio Amorim, proprietor of the lampooning caricature journal Maruy. All honorable citizens approve this verdict. It is an energetic ahd authoritative protest in the interest of society itself against the existence of the professional lampooner, and declares that he may Vir? rlpslf- with as a h?<Hi*vav robber. and, as he cannot be punished effect ively by law, he whose honor is thus assailed may inflict deserved punishment on the defamer on the public square or in the theatre, or wherever he may encounter him. This verdict asserts au important principle, which will furnish additional scfegaurd to virtuous homes, and will conduce to moral progress in journalism and to social tranquility. The assembled people, on learning of this most just verdict, proclaimed their approval in loud applauses, bestowed upon the Judges and the jury, and then, in unison, they, as a guard of honor, composed of the best citizens of the municipality, escorted the North American Consul to his residence, where the immense multitnde, while felicitating him upon his acquittal, paid their grateful homage to the man, who, with a spirit of fearlessrindependence and unquailing conrage, while vindicating the honor of his pious mother, at the same time has guarded our homes in the future from the vile poUutions^)f a libelous desperado. Consul Becklord MacKey nas reason for proud satisfaction at the approving sanction thus conferred upon him by the people of Rio Grande. We pay tribute to his exbalted character as a man of honor, and in common with the journalists of Brazil we offer him our hand in heartfelt approval and congratnlation. A Great DiscoveryMr. Wqj.
