The total number of deaths in Spain
to dale from cholera is 18,000, and the
dread disease continues to spread into
new places. 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

in the State could be fonnd to head the

.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 now expresses
a sentiment on the condition of

It is stated that the new Commissioner
of Agriculture in his annual
report to Congress at its next session
will recommend that the seed distribution
department be discontinued. 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.

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

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

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.

and the agricultural outlook is bright
indeed; its to be hopad such is the case

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.

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.
