At Old Point, Va., when the news of the nomination of Gen.

We think it time that the howl about the poverty of the Grant family should cease. From the sale of his book and ! other sources the General's family will j receive about one million dollars. The j family ought by practising :i little j economy to be able to live in compara-! tive comfort on this sum.

XX. r Woodward, of Tnscaloosa, Alabama, which took place 011 Monday last In days long past this gentleman took a leading part in public affairs in Fair field, and his death deserves more than the brief notice which we are now able to give ifc. Ou a future occasion we hope to pay dae tribute to his memory. Mr. Beckford Mackey, American Consul to Rio Grand do Sal, has recently returned to Washington and gives an interesting account of a colony of ex-Confederates who left their Southern homes to settle in Brazil. He say&they are thrifv, prosperous, lawabiding citizens, and are getting on very comfortable in their new homes, although they still retain their American character and sympathies. Since the contest for the Charleston collectorship has beeu settled, it leaks out that it was through the influence of Senator Hampton that Mr. Jervey secured the appointment. The Senator was always a welcome guest at the "White House during President Ar thur's administration, and now it seems that he is even more popular with Presideut Cleveland, and is favored more than his brother Senators when visiting the President's mansion. John Wise makes this calculation: "I am not elated, bat I firmly believe that I will be elected. There are 128,000 negro voters aud 210,000 white voters in Virginia. I will.get 120,000 negro votes and between 50,000 and 00,000 white votes. The democrats carried Virginia for Cleveland by only about 4,000 votes, and they are much more solid on .National than on Mate issues." This is an ominoas showing for Virginia. The negro holds the fort there to a large extent. k i The remedy for corpulence, according to the Lancet, is*in the method of eating and drinking. If we only ate more deliberately, it says, we should find half of oar accustomed quantity of food sufficient to satisfy the eager cravings of hunger. Let men of all classes who lead healthy lives resolve to eat and drink slowly. This is Dio Lewis's idea, also. Men and women grow inordinately fat and remain so by imperfect mastication of food and an improper list of water and other liquids at meal time. Tiie News and Courier for the past several weeks has contained an interesting discussion on the South Carolina College question. Judge Mclver upholds the course of the trustees in charging no tuition on the one hand, and Hon. B. II. Edwards replies in support of the other side.

The Camperdown Mills, situated in Greenville city, were sold at antion on the 3rd inst., for $70,000. They were bought by Colonel Hammet for ;i newly organized company consisting j of Greenville business men. It is cer-1 taiulv a wholesome sign to see that we do not always have to seek .capital from our Northern friends. The mills are in fine condition, employing several hundred operatives. The capital stock of the company will be $120,000, and already the new stock is in great demand, showing very conclusively that the public have confidence in the success of the new company.

There were more than | fifty thousand persons in the procession. The streets along the line of march were of course thronged with spectators. A dispatch to the Washington Post from Xewberne gives the following1 a a r f Ka ArvAni n/v aniirrtoc in UtJULfUlJb V/l l/il"C ^auraoiJ ill Virginia: The Hon. John S. Wise opened the gubernatorial canvass here on Monday. He had been well advertised, and an unusually large crowd was in attendance, mostly Democrats, actuated by curiosity. Mr. Wise spoke out of doors, aud labored under the disadvantage of an utterly unsympathetic audience. He created no enthusiasm whatever, and the general feeling of all classes in regard to the speech was one of disappointment. He spoke in the highest terms of his Democratic opponent, and essayed a dignified, deliberate role, in which he was evidently out of place and out of character. If Mr. Wise's canvass throughout the CAn + KnT,%ef lO oc 111 oc if IJVUllilir VCb X\3 W.O VUll vtt * II VAiVVV W AV I was here, the Democrats ought to j sweep this district by au old-time i majority. The speech contained no new points, but was a rehash of the same party clap-trap with which our peeple are thoroughly familiar. We clip the following from the Carolina Spartan: One way to settle the convict question in this State would be to appoint tliree convict commissioners with the same salaries paid to railroad commissioners, whose duty it should be to look after the convicts and hear comA?Am eirloc or?r? r?ih>nr 11 VUJI UV/lu CIUWC UIIV4 vii it ii ktivu salaries every quarter. These places could be admirably filled, for there are good and worthy old Sonth Carolina gentlemen without ample means of support, and colonels and brigadiers by the score, and many excellent farmers who are anxious to take any office just to get away from the farm, that ai e ready for such service. Let our Legislature at its next session consider tuis inauer. We were nwlcr the impression that it was a part of the duty of the' directors of the penitentiary to look after the welfare and discipline of the convicts. Now if it is necessary to appoint a commission to look atter the directors it might become necessary to appoint commissioners to look after the commission. This would of course fur* nish means of support for a number of worthy old South Carolina gentlemen, colonels, brigadiers, etc., but we are dubious as to the duty of the State /?! *??tmtr tr? ht- imliororsf farmers and bankrupt brigadiers. ?^ Iowa lias a prohibitory law which forbids the manufacture and sale of intoxicants; yet in all the large centres of population the traffic proceeds vigorously and openly. In twenty-eight towns and cities the number of saloons has increased from 770 to 910, while the large sums formerly paid for license <ii'p tn thf? nrrvfif-e: rif uilnnn keepers. Davenport loses $26,000, and Burlington ?27,000 in this way. The utmost that is claimed by the friends of prohibition is that they have closed the saloons in the small towns and country districts and even for this result they give not the evidence of official returns, but vague and sweeping estimates. They claim that 3,000 saloons have been closed, and that 2,500 are kept closed permanently.! But the official figures of the internal! icjciim; ueyuitmeiu suuw uiiu mwij j has sixteen rectifiers of spirits, and j 4,327 dealers in intoxicants, so that the reduction ?f the number in the places outside the cities cannot havo been jrrcat. The total for the State would [ be less than 2,000 if the estimates of I the prohibitionists were correct. Matters at the Citadel Academy j have come to a point. Cadet Sergeant | Scbirmer was acquitted of the charge j of "conduct unbecoming a gentleman," hnf Rfi.ivil nf Visitors consider that i he was not without fault. His appointment as sergeant was revoked on the ground that, under all the circumstances, he could not discharge the duties of the office with advantage to the interests of the institution. Cclonel Thomas has resigned the Superintendencv, and his resignation has been accepted. General Kemper, the professor of sciences, has likewise resigned. The vacancies will be filled by the Board before the 1st October, when the next term begins. Of the report that the Super!ntendency had been, or would be, teudered to Governor Thompson, the- Register of Friday says: Having; obtained authoritative information on the subject, the Register is enabled to announce that all the rumors regarding Governor Thompson and the South Carolina Citadel Academy are without foundation. The Governor has not been tendered the Presidency of the institution; he would not accept the place if it were offered him; and he therefore has no rotion of resuming. This information comes from General Arthur M. Manigault, who is just from Charleston, where he met Governor Thompson and talked with him on the subject. A Suitable ^Ian. Since the resignation of Col. Thomas as Superintendent of the South Carolina Military Academy, it has been rumored that the position will be tendered to Gov. Thompson. The Columbia Henister seems to speak authoritatively that the Governor would not accept it upon any terms. While tlie .Board or Visitors are looking around for a suitable man for the position we feel sure that they conld decide upon 110 mail who would fill the position more acceptably to the people than Col. Coward, the present Superintendent of Education. His long experience and continued success as Principal of the King's Mountain Military School peculiarly fits him for the present vacant position. We feel sure that his appoint ment would insure the continued success of the Academy and make it an institution of which the people of the State may well be proud. TEE BATTLEFIELD OF SEVEN PINES. Visit of the Sixth South Carolina Infantry and their Friends. (Special to the JVeics and Courier.) Richmond, August 6.?The survivors of the Sixth Regiment, South Carolina Volunteer Troops, accom panied by the survivors of the Fifth, Twelfth and Fifteenth Regiments), and escorted by the Gordon Light Infantry oi WinnsDoro, arrived nere tins morning 011 a special train, and were received and welcomed with open arms by the citizens of the Capital [of the old Confederacy. The total number of excursionists from all points in South Carolina is 080, including the old soldiers and their accompanying friends.

The survivors were escorted to the Exchange Hotel by the committee, where they breakfasted. At half-past (J o clock they and their South Carolina aud Virginia friends went out to Fair Oaks, where, disembarking, they visited the battlefield of Seven Pines. The address of the occasion was delivered by Gen. John Bratton in his happiest vein. Speeches were also made by Congressman Hemphill and Major Coker and Col. Kion, of South Carolina, and Messrs. A. R. Spitzer and Col. E. JR. Phillips, of Richmond. After the speeches the whole party ? went over the battleground, which I occupied most of their time until the return of the train to Richmond at 5 o'clock. On the return they were again received by the military of the city, who entertained them to-night at the armory of the First Virginia Regiment and where an address of welcome to Richmond was made by Mayor "W. C. Carrington, responded to by Col. James H. Rion. To-morrow will be spent by the survivors in visiting the points of historic interest in and around Richmond. Artcr tn? \ isu co ??Ten I'lne*.

Wise, the Republican nemincc for Governor of Virginia, has been in Atlanta, Ga., for several days on professional business. A correspondent of the New York Times inteaviewed Mr. Wise at the Kimball House Thursday, and telegraphs as follows: ATr. Wisr? wris fhnn/1 spntivl hv an open window in his suite of rooms iu the second story of the hotel, enjoying the luxury of an Atlanta breeze. Mr. Wise said: "I want to be elected. To tell you the truth, it is the only office I ever really did want. I ran for Congress once and was beaten. I ran again and was elected. I didn't care a fig about the result in either race?com" paralively speaking, I mean. But I am in this fight with my whole soul, and I mean to win if I can." "Are you running as a Readjustee backed by Republicans?" "_\o, sn , x am me nominee 01 tne Republicans and of uoboby else. "We will have a square fight between Democrats and Republicans this time." "What is the issue in the campaign?" "We are going to make it hot for the Democrats on several lines., They have got us all in trouble ever oar State debt a$ain. The Readjuster party rose up "and gained control of Virginia because it represented the popular idea on the debt question. We enacted such laws as would have settled the question fairly and finally, and would have saved the people Irom the unjust burdens which the Funders were trying to impose on them. All was moving along beautifully when in caine a Democratic Legislative and forced ou us a lot of statute? to cooperate with those we had Jlready passed. They had come over to oar platform 011 the debt question, and were trying to rob us of the gtory of its successful solution. They have made aprelty mess of it. It was on the legislation of this Democratic Legislature that the Supreme Court of the United States msde its recent decision declaring the coupons of our bonds receivable for taxes." "How will the succcs of your party affect this question after this decision of the Supreme Court?" "We will simply repeal this latter legislation and let Readjuster legislation stand. I think that alone will settle the debt question to the saiisfctction of the people, and in a way that, will stand the test of the Courts." "What o'her issues will you raise?" "The partisanship and corruption of the Democratic Legislature. They turned out seventeen members without the shadow of law or justice in order to obtain a two-thirds majority and render the Governor powerless. They seated one man who was not even a contestant. They passed a bill designed for the perpetration of the bolpest election frauds. They robbed the Governor of every prerogative he had relative to elections, and saddled on us the worst returning board ever trumped up in this country. They didn't get it quite ready for the Presidential election, but it got in its work in some barefaced frauds in our local elections last spring. We will find enough to make the Democrats answer for." "Are the Democrats in Virginia united?" "They are worse divided now than I ever knew them to be. There are jealousies among their leaders and iacuons among meir masses. "Ro.v do tiiev like the natioual administration?" ''President Cleveland has made sad havoc among them. At first they abused him for not making appointments, and now they abuse him for those he has made. He has struck some bad material in Virginia, and'ihe real active element in his party there is sadly disaffected. I don't know a man amoug all the Presidential appointments in Virginia who represents the best and most valuable element in the Democratic party of the State. The people are sick of this business." "Are the Readjusters and Republicans welded into one party?" "Thov <ti'p Wo will fhp V?nlk of old Readjusters, and the Republicans are solidly with us." "What about the negroes?" "They never were as solidly .Republican as"they are now. There are not 200 Democrats among- the 128,000 negro voters in Virginia, and they can't buy and bulldoze more than 5,000 of them." "Do you think you will be elected?" "I do : I am not elated, but I firmlv believe that I will be elected. There are 128.000 negro voters and 210,000 white voters in Virginia. I will get 120.000 negro votes and between 50,000 and 60,000 white votes. The Democrats carried Virginia for Cleveland by only about 4,000 votes, and they are inuph more solid on national" than State issues." "It is stated that you intend to make a thorough canvass "of the State." "I am going all over it. Next Monday I will make my first speech at Newbern, and from that time till the day of election I will be at work. I am going into every county in the J .11 i.1 !l _ n oiaie, ana an luruugu every one ui them. I would like to have "the Democratic nominee go along with me, but 1 doubt if there is another man in Virginia who can stand the programme 1 have laid out. I am going to speak every day, and twice a day one week in August. When I beat Parson Masseylor Congress at large, I traveled 7,200 miles and made seventy-two speeches in one hundred days. That was pretty good work." Mr. Wise was shown the telegram announcing the nomination of General Fitzhugh Lee, and he said: "That is just what I wanted. It is the weakest nomination the Democrats could have made, and I am now more confident of my election than ever before." imf ri^norol T,oo rorv "n Ann lot* JLO UUV VJtV&Ml A^VV ? V* J ^V|/MIMt "lie is a very nice gentleman and has many friends, but if his name had been Fitzhugh Smith he would never have been heard of as candidate for Governor. He is a nephew of his uncle. He bears the same relation to Robert E. Lee that Napoleon III. bore to Napoleon Bonaparte. General Lee will go into the campaign with a dash and a whoop, in regular cavalry style. He will find that the iufantry are in a large majority in Virginia. I really Ttrink the Democrats could have nomi natcd a stronger candidate. Mc&inney would have been better, and Judge Staples much better. However, it just suits me as it is." "What is Geflpral Lpe's political record?" "He has very little. The only prominent feature in what you might call his political record is a letter which he wrote in 1877, taking the extremest possible view of the State debt question. He advopated the payment of the debt in full, and a ljttle more too. That letter won't go down in Virginia, auu me uenerai win nave a hard time explaining it." Looking again at the telegram and smiling, Mr. Wise said; "That suits me exactly." if ?Young, old, and ipiddle-aged, $11 experience the wonderful beneficial effects of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, Young children suffering from sore eyes, sqre ears, scald-head, or with any scrofa* j lous or syphilitic taint, may be made healthy and strong by its use. ?- w ? ?Alderman Watson, of Columbia^ in response to resolations passed by the Democratic Club of Ward 4? has resigned his office. THE SHARON SCANDAL. A Threat by Miss Hill to Kill One of SharonV Lawj-ers. Sax Francisco, August 4.?The celebrated divorce case of Hill vs. Sharon, which is now going on under the reversed form of Sharon vs. Hill in the United States Circuit Court to have the alleged marriage contract declared void, was yesterday afternoon productive of an exciting incident which for a moment looked as though it would result in a tragedy. Testimony in the case was being taken before the master in chancery, when a i number of photographs of various documents in possession of Miss Hill 1 were exniDiiea. uuuge avails ana ex-1 Senator Stewart, of counsel for Sharon took exception to certain defects in the photographs and characterized them as unreliable. Miss Hill became greatly excited at their comments, and thrusting her hand into a satchel drew out a revolver, which she pointed at exSenator Stewart, remarking that if he continued his strictures she would make him pay dearly for them. A general commotion followed. Master in Chancery Houghton advanced toward Miss Hill and urgently requested her to remain calm. He finally succeeded in obtaining possession ot the revolver and adjourned the hearing until to-day. Before he did so Miss Hill is stated to have remarked: ;'I am bound to^kill Stewart before this trial is over,*ard 1 don't know but that I had better do it now." Application was made immediately to Judge Sawyer for a warrant for her arrest. ?Senator Augustus Vera, the great Hegcllian philosopher in the University of Naples, died a few days ago.

The visit from Cardinal Sanfelice, who had been sent for by the sick Senator, brought him back again to Christian sense, lie welcomed the Cardinal and desired him id seud a priest in order to be reconciled with the Church. His reconciliation and retraction of errors were made before witnesses, and the dying philosopher made his confession, received the holy eucharist and answered even at the fast moment .ill the prayers of the Church. ?Bishop Turner, a prominent colored Georgian, urges the young men of his race to seek homes in the Government lands of the West instead of clinging to tho Eastern cities and engaging in occupations too often servile.
