V j x There seems to be a scarcity of five and ten dollar notes in the country and no remedy for the scarcity seems athaud. Considerable snow fell in some of the extreme Northern States last week, and serious damage was done to the crops riot yet harvested. The ilon. Itoswell P. Flower thought that it would be dropping rather low from a formidable Presidential candidate to a Lieutenant-Governor, hence bis refusal, we suppose. There are now living only nine ex-Senators who were members of the United States Senate at the opening of the late war. One by one the men of that day are passing away. The Sunday JSeics of the 27th inst. contains the second article of Henry George on "Protection and Free Trade". He is an able writer and his articles besides being interesting are a valuable addition to the thoughts on that subject. The Grant monurneut fund is not as yet a rowing success. People are not contributing with the enthusiasm that was expected. A fair is now proposed in Xew York, in order to raise funds. Ifc now looks as if ifc will be a Bartholdi statue affair again. Sam Joxes, the revivalist, is in trouble with the liqnor men and aie elements. The whiskey men blew up his place of revival and a short time afterwards the elements demolished his tent. The combination was most too strong from him. A leading exchange says that over 400,000 teachers have begun their work during the present month. This r a large number, but we have 110 doubt that there is yet plenty of room in the ?? ?* 1~? fiv? oil tttKa rJnoit?o fn oncrnrrp IVJi an ?uv uvcitw kv v**0?<gv in the profession ef learning "the young idea how to shoot." The Washington Star suggests the name of the Hon. Allen G. Thurman as a suitable man for the vacancy in the Civil Service Commission, caused by the resignation of Dorman B. Eaton. Sould he be willing to accept the position we dare say no more suitable man for the place could be found in the country. - The Republicans of .New York will soon meet to nominate officers. There . will be a triangular fight for Governor with Cornelius Bliss in the lead, L. P. Morton a good second and Cornell holding the balance of power. It is J said that a movement is on foot to j nominate Col. Fred Grant for secretary J of State. The Democrats have not yet | opened the hail. The Chinese riots in the West have ftssnmor? a serions asnect. The military has been called ont to protect Chinese laborers. Everybody has a right in this country to work for whom he pleases and what he pleases, and those arrogant workingmen who want to control everything should be taught a lesson that they will not soon forget. The cholera scourge shows no abatement in Europe. Cities are deserted and shops are closed. The King of Italy, who has has been noted for bis charity, again comes to the rescue by money and other substantial sympathy. How thankful we of this country shourd be that for several years we have been spared from the ravages of any epidemic. It seems to be the fashion to have reunions on the battlefields of Virginia. Massachusetts troops have re cently held a meeting at Winchester, Va. Many Confederates were there, and there was an unusual exchange of fraternal feeling. These reunions of Union and Confederate men together will always have a tendency in bringing the whole country in common accord and brotherly sympathy. The State Fair this fall promisee to be one of the best. Various new schemes for amusement and profit are in contemplation and will doubtless draw large crowds. We think if it is possible the exhibit of South Carolina at the New Orleans Exposition should be put on exhibition. Many of our citizens who were unable to attend the Exposition would be glad to see the exhibit of oar own State, which, from all accqjwtsi was a lasting credit, to it. Let the authorities consider this matter.;.T ..... The 2$ew York Republican Convenvention, after a two days' session, has nominated Hon. Ira C. Davenport for Governor. The Democratic Convention is now in session, arid the indications are that Governor Hiil will be nominated by the Democrats. The Republican nominee is considered a weak candidate, and should Hill be .loaiinated by the Democrats there is little doubt but that New York State will again be received in the Democratic fold. Much is now being said concerning tobacco culture in this State. The advocates of this movement insist that it is the very thing for our soil, and that there is a mint of money in it. It will be a long time before our people can be weaned from.cotton, but if., as is claimed, tobacco is the more paying industry, we cannot see why it should not be adopted, especially when cotton brings such a low figure. Some are now trying it, and though it requires more attention and care, still the profits are .greater, which is an important consideration. We hope a trial will or?eon trthflivrt The campaign in Eugland grows more interesting day by day. It is rumored that the present premier will issue a campaign manifesto in a few days. The friends of Gladstone are uneasy for him, as his voice is giving away ami (bey believe bis career as an orator is near an end. Mr. Chamberlain's ambition leads him under the ( jcircumstances to beiSeve vhat if Gladstone shall again come into office he j would resign af^er he had gotten the \ machinery of the government in operI ation and Chamberlain would succeed him. Both parties are ready for the ' ^ i ? ? '1 " in Ua n r* ; IJiilll, StllU IL tv/ w a4X liiivii esting one. mm ro?. j Mr. J. F. Dezendorf, who has : always been a leader of the Straight* out Republicans of Virginia, predicts i a Democratic victory in that State this j fall by 20,000 majority. He gives as I his reason that the straightouts, if they i vote at all, will vote for General Lee, | as they are not prepared to vote for ; the man who only a lew years ago de| nominated them "carpet-baggers" and "seal la wags", and on the other hand they have no love for Mahone and will not assist him in securing another term i in the Senate. The time is-coming i = when "little Billy" will have to step down and out and give way to a gen! nine Democrat, who will represent the j people of Virginia. We think it is about time that our | esteemed contemporaries cease firing j paper bullets at each other, and if they really mean business let them go to work in the regulation style. We think that the cold formalities of the much condemned duello would be far preferable to the personalities in which the Columbia Register and the Ntws and Courier have been indulging. If the editors of the News and Courier and the Register are so violently opposed to resenting insults they should be equally particular in giving them. At any rate, we say give us a rest. If the editors wish to continue their paper war let it be done by private correspondence instead of through the colj umns of newspapers. f A New York man was in the United ! States Circuit Court last week with I counsel desiring leave to bring- an ! action to remove the Civil Service ' Commissioners and abolish the Corrij mission. It created a great deal of j interest with the friends and enemies ; of the civil service alike. The Government was represented by District Attorney Dorsheimer, who said he ! appeared by direction of the President i of the United States. The abolition of the Commission was asked on the grounds of its unconstitutionality. Counsel for the plaintiff objected to the defendants being represented by a Government official, as the United States had no status in the case. The j objection was overruled. After argu | ment, tne presiaing juage reiasea me | application to bring the action. I There has been an uprising in Easfcj ern Roumelia. The people with one accord united with Bulgaria under Prince Alexander. These were prin; cipalities established by the treaty of Berlin and were dependencies upon the j Sultan of Turkey. Turkey wants to ['fight and regain RonmeUa, but it is i presumed that she will no? do so, from j the fact that the powers desire peace. I There is great diversity of opinion in j Europe regarding the situation, but j the general sentiment is to let things I take their course. Russia is at the bottom of the whole affair, and it is only another one of her aggressions to gain more territory. It is, however, ! much preferable for these principalities j to be under the control of Russia ' *-1- * " A ^ I ruiuer Lliifcli UliUCi bug uvuiiiwu? v/4 Turkey. Waclip the following extract from the JVeuw ancZ Courier of Monday: Prof. R. Means Davis, of the South Carolina College, contributed to the Cincinnati Enquirer, last week, a comprehensive sketch of the rascality practiced by the Republican party in South Carolina from 1860 to 1876, which is designed to illustrate the metheds by which that party committed self-destruction in this" State, and at. the same time to answer some of Senator Sherman's chargcs against the South. The story is a familiar one in these parts, but Prof. Davis has put it in highly interesting shape for Ohio readers, and has supplied Mr. Sherman and his lieutenants with nuts enongh to crack to keep them busy during all the rest of the campaign. Mr. Davis could no doubt give a very correct history of the Republican corruption, as he has made himself familiar witn their rascality, and we dare say that his article was an able one. Nearly all that is worth anything about Port Royal is tote soMsoon; consequently Port Royal will be numbered among the things that were. D. F. Appleton, of New York, started to build a big city at the present site and bought land at a ridiculously low pricc. The "city" was advertised and bolstered up for a long time and lots were sold at an exorbitant rate. Mr. Appleton, of course, got rich and other people poor. After the Central Railway of Georgia obtained control of the Port Royal and Augusta Railroad they removed everything that possibly could be moved; consequently Port Royal is left and Savannah derives all the benefit. This was a splendid site for a commercial city?having a deep and spacious harbor?and it is to be regiettcd that the scheme was not a sucnno; O! it tvrvnlH hoTTA Wl'P.lrtv tft VVOOj WC iV " Wl.vt V V%v.v?v%? 9 *the wealth and trade of our State. The eleventh annual convention of the American Bankers' Association met in Chicago 011 the 23d inst. The following resolution touching the .silver question was introduced by the executive counsel: That it is the sense of this con veil? lion that the coinage of silver dollars under the compulsory law of 1S7S is detrimental to the best interests of the people and dangerous to the welfare of the Government, and that that law should be immediately suspended and remain inoperative until an international agreement of leading commercial Rations shall give substantial assurance as to the future.rotation as to gold aud silvv#:* as money. The discussion was openpd by Col. \V. L. Trenholm, of South Carolina, It would seem that nearly all of the most influential financial men of the country are opposed to the compulsory coinage of silver dollars, apd that it is dangerous to the financial interests of the country. The New York Democratic State Convention, which met at Saratoga on Thursday last, as was expected, nominated Governor David B. Hill as the standard-bearer in the coming campaign. He seems to have made a good impression daring his brief administration of the New York Government, and secnrea tne nomination wnnoui much trouble. The Hon. Roswell P. Flower was nominated for LieutenantGovernor, but has addressed a letter to the chairman of the late convention positively declining the nomination. After completing thG other nominations to be made, a nlatform was adopted, the principal points of which arc?civil service reform by placing Democrats in office, the silver question and a judicious straddle of the tariff issue. Upon the whole it is considered a pretty able document, and one which will win in the coming campaign. The Republican candidate, Ira B. Davenport, is considered by both parties a pretty strong candidate, as his long political service will be of incalculable benefit in the present political contest, and his political record is not inarked by corruption. A hard fight will be made by both parties, and the result will be awaited with no little interest. Enforcement and Xot Amendment. . The News and Courier, in its issue of the 19th iust., sees fit to criticise the presentment of the grand jury of Fairfield county vshen it recommends the amendment of the law relating to the crimes giving rise to the alleged organization of "Regulators". The News and Courier says: "It will probably occur to every thinking man in South Carolina that the law needs enforcement rather than amendment, and that if the grand jury had ddne their whole duty there would be no occasion for their recommendations." Now the laws are enforced in Fairfield as well if not better than in any other county of the State. In the issue of the 22nd the News and Courier Uys on the subject of gambling in stock that "South Carolina has, it appears, a law declaring gambling contracts unlawful. The law, it will be noticed, is verv strinsrent. but there has not been, so far as we know, a singly actiou under it." . Now suppose our enterprising contemporary goes to work and ferrets oat some of the stock gamblers of Charleston and has them brought to the notice of the grand jury, and if the grand jury fail, through some defect in the law, (o find true bills, it would be time to ask for the much needed remedy. We think enforcement of the law against stock gambling is needed and not amendment. Let the Charleston grand jury look after its stock gamblers and the Fairfield jury will look afi.er its "Regulators". Lynching in Edgefield. Considerable excitement has prevailed in Edgefield county since the inst., on account of the assassinaof young Mr. fiammond, a respectable citizen of that county by some unknown person. This excitement culminated on Monday last and resulted in the death of Mr. O. T, Culbreath at the hands of an iufuriated mob. The facts as gathered are about as follows: Culbreath and his wife had not lived happily together for some time> and a few years ago they separated and have been living apart ever since. Re was very jealous of her and rumor says that he had threatened the life of young Hammond, who lived near, and who was often a guest at the house of Mrs. Culbreath. Mr. Hammond was shot down on the night of the 12th inst, by some unknown party without the subtest warning, Naturally, suspicion pointed to Culbreath as the murderer, and on Monday he was brought to Edgefield, and while in the office of his attorney the building was surrounded bv masked men, a portion of them entering the office and covering his attorney with loaded revolvers. Culbreath was im? mediately shot down, and the lynchers not being satisfied took him from the office to a Doint about a mile from town, when, notwithstanding his pleadings for mercy and protestations of innocence, he was again shot, and we presume left for dead. He afterwards recovered a little and made his way back to town, where he lived long enough to disclose the names of two of the lynchers, which may probably lead to the discovery of other parties connected with the crime. We are glad to know that the people of Edgefield condemn the act, and will use every effort to to bring the parties tojustjee. There was no positive evidence whatever against Culbreath and only suspicion caused his arrest. It is high time that something should be done to check the increase qf mob law* It can be justified iu no way, and when parties undertake to administer justice and usurp the powers of our Courts in any particular they themselves become violators of the law and should be neld accountable to the law for their actions. There is danger in opening the door in the least, for if good men undertake to mete out justice to their fellow men without giving them an opportunity to defend themselves where wiJl bad mei) stop? It is to be hoped that this deed will be punished, aud the good people of#Edgefield should spare no efforts to bring the guilty parties to justice and to the penalty for their lawless acts. A Cli4R?p in the Civil Service CommiSSlffn. Dorman B. Eaton, chairman of the Civil Service Commission, has tendered his resignation as a commissioner to the President, The President has written a long JetJer accepting i(, to take effect 011 the 1st of Jfoyember next. In his letter of resignation Mr. Eaton said that it was his intention to resign as soon as the commission got under head way, but that he was per suaded by his friends to coptinne in office as a change of tbe party in power would be embarrassing to the com? paission. He said: j I saw plainly frow hostile journals li^aaaBMBB^tfaMBaKaaw?wa?a???M that I should be charged, if I resigned, with fleeing from the perils of that crisis. It was clear enough that no excuse from my long service and no declaration of my confidence in the reform policy of the Presidential candidate and the statesmen of the Democratic party, would relieve me from the damaging plausibility of such a charge. As a private citizen I could scorn the imputation, but as a public officer and as being in a private way somewhat identified with the cause of civil service reform, I had no right to make an opportunity for its natural enemies in either party to use such a charge to its injury. There was another reason why I could not tender my resignation and should have refused to do so had it been requested at or near the time of your accession to office. For I should regard it as a pernicious precedent, utterly repugnant to the spirit of the civil service Act, to treat the office of civil service commissioner as political, and hence as one to be filled at the beginning of each Presidential terpa. These considerations constrained me to continue in my place until the reform policy of your Administration so clearly defined in your declarations should be as unmistakably developed iu your acts as President as it had been in your acts as Governor of New York. The time has arrived when no candid man can longer pretend to regard that policy as indefinite or doubtful. Every one of t'<e five months of your Adminictvatinn. rinnncr whif?h thfi civil ser- I vice Act and rules have been enforced with as much breadth, firmness and fidelity as under that cf President Arthur, has not only added new evidence of the utility of the new system upon which he congratulates the country, but has made more definite the settled purpose of your Administration to faithfully enforce both law and rules in future. The few changes you have made in the rules have but added to their justice and efficiency. So far as I have been able to learn there is not a member of your Cabinet who has not as a result of his experience in office a higher sense than before of the need of enforcing that "merit system" in the public service which the civil service Act and rules have established; and, from those at the head of many offices in the postal and customs service to which the examinations extend in all parts of the Union, and whether they be Republicans holding over or new officers fr ?n the other party, there has come no reason for believing that the "merit system" is not welcomed as a great benefit to the public service, a great influence for honesty in politics and a great relief to the head fo the office. President Cleveland in reply discussed at lensrth the advantages of civil service and the difficulties incident upon such a plan. He handsomely acknowledges the valuable services of the commission and the good they have done the public service. It is hard to say who will succeed Mr. Eaton on the commission. ITEMS FROM CEDAR CREEK. Messrs. Editors: The people, generally, are willing to admit that there has been rain enough. It began to rain last Sunday evening and rained almost incessantly until Monday night. Big Cedar Creek was very high; it overflowed its banks and damaged corn to some extent. A portion of the bridge at Mrs. C. C. Leitner's, also at Dnnlap's mill, was carried away. Little Cedar vreeK w??-fflgner(so said) than it has been for a good many years. There is a union prayer-meeting held at Mr. C. A. Abell's schooMiouse twice a month. The Woman's Missionary Society had a quiltiug at Mre. Leitner's on Friday. A good many of the tair sex were present. The Juvenile Society (Palmetto Leaves) are goiDg to have a dime reading at Pine Grove school-house soon. A good time is anticipated, and we hope all may be benefitted. Another engine in the neighborhood. Mr. Frank Cnrlee will gin cotton at Mr. C. A. Abell's two days in every two or three weeks while the ginning season lasts. Times are changing; this is a progressive age. The time was when cotton was carried to the gin; now the giu is carried to the cotton. There was a tolerably large congregation at Buffalo last Wednesday night. Mr. W. W, Entzrainger, in the absence of the pastor or other minister, conducted prayer-meeting. On the following morning four were immersed. After that services were held by the Rev#B. F. Corley. Judging from appearances?from the arrangements that been and are being made?there will be several wedding! on Cedar Creek during the fall. Some of them are so very loving- that an observer could scarpel}' help remarking that "their single blessedness wiii soon terminate. x. September 26, 1885. A Labor Blot In Cleveland.

Crosby, has just returned from Panama, where he has been since last September fulfilling a contract for lightening cargoes on incoming ships to the shore. The yellow fever has been and now is, committing dreadful ravages there, and when his turn eamc iiis physician and a friend hurried him out of the country. His wife had preceded him by a few weeks. He reached New York, and there heard of the sudden death of a brother in Evansville, which sad news summoned him west. He expects to return about the 20th of the present month. Mr. Crosby has been a number of years on the isthmus; at one time as an agent of the Pacilic Steamship company, and his position gave him opportunities for observation, which ho ! seems to have improved to the fullest j extent, after a manner proverbial with I Americans. "How is the isthmus at the present i time?" lie was asked by a representa- j tivc of the Cincinnati Enquirer. "It is not the nicest place in the j world to be in now," he remarked, j "for people are dying iu the streets by i the cart-load with the yellow fever. Taken at the best, Panama is not what it was some years ago. Then there were a dozen or twenty American families there that cultivated socialities, and :i better or more homelike place could not be desired. Within the past few years, however, a lot of Frenchmen have made their apnoaronn.s unit nhnnirml 1 lin r>r\n V..?UgV? ditions of residence most materially." "How about the canal?" "The history of that canal," said he earnestly, "will be a record of fraud almost unparalleled in the annais of any nation. Already it has cost the sum of $120,000,000. The projectors havo in addition a debt of $SU,00'J,000, and now they ostimato that to compass its completion $500,000,000 additional will be needed. What havo they accomplished? Nothing more than the transportation to the objective point of an unlimited amount of machinery, which is useless aud can not even be converted into old iron, as the rate for freights away from the isthmus are so high as to render profitless any such venture. The Nicaragua route is undoubtedly the best for canal purposes, but it is at the same time the longest. The route selected by the French and German syndicate is the shortest, but it is fraught with difficulties which, I think, have been all too lightly considered, even if they havo been considered at all. "Jtor instance, .me iana lies very high in places, and the deepest portion will be a cut six hundred feet in depth. Now, the water surface of the canal will have to be 150 feeC in width. This will necessitate a cut nearly eighteen huudred feet in width at the top; so you can easily imagine the amount of dirt to be removed. The canal lino follows closely that of the Panama railroad. The contract for removing the dirt has been let to a Frcnch and Dutch syndicate for $19,00J,000, and as yet the contractors have done nothing. Then they seem to have taken no account of the varying aspect of the spring tides. Of course, they will have to employ an elaborate system of locks, in lite spring' the tides on the P.icilic side rise from twentylive to thirty feet, while on the gulf coast they arc from twelve to fifteen inches. These conditions 1 deem of importance, and lastly, they are using tiio f?li:iiini*l of the; Ch:i<rres river as a w ?? ? c ~ - ? starting point on the gulf >ide. The Cllw a nioilmnin qJ j q times of flood is a terror to the infrao^ itants. You have heard about a torrent rushing and jumping. Well, "the breast ol a torrent iu tne Cnagres just jumps along, it comes down like a solid wall, bear.ng ail before it. They will have to divert the euiire channel of this si ream. The canal has now been undc;' way lor four years, and the channel, when completed, will be forty-seven miles in length. "The company has erected a great number of houses along the line, and just to give you an idea of the manuer in which they conduct their business I will tell yon that iu their ollicc, which rtn nlo f lintr liOil of r?MO iO ?(U iUitUVilOU HIWJ anu tkw VKV time over seven hundred clerks employed. It see rued at once a hospital . and an asylum for broken-down relies of French nobility. Each window of the ollicc had a small balcony, and each balcony its lolling Frenchman. When Qne got tired and went within to either pore over the p-iges of a French novel of questionable moral purity or the Paris papers another Frenchman took his piace. If anyouc appeared with a bill or sorios of accounts he. as like as not, would bo told to call agai , as all liauds wore too busy to pay any attention to him. To any man conscientiously attempting to discharge his duty this was discouraging. All these fellows did was to draw their salaries. I understand, however, that the force has recently been materially decreased. "In addition, 1 can assure you of thing, and that is, if the Panama nal is ever completed it will be by American brain and pluck. The way tiio present syndicate arc ongageu it will take ontf hundred years to finish the work." "The business is loosely couducted. For a sample, a brig sailed into the harbor with a cargo consisting of twenty-three thousand bushols oi coal, to be used for construction purposes. The coal \yas paid for and the vessel sailed away. After lying about among the outlying Islands for some days she returned, reported the cargo, and received pay in full a second time. This is only one instance." Turning to the canal scheme, the gentleman remarked that the contract system in Panama is only tinothep namp for most*barc-faced kind. A. company in Panama, he said, holds a contract for removing dirt from tho harbor. The dirt is soft?so soft, in fact, that it runs, and, like water, it seeks its level. The company has never to move its dredge, as tho place is constantly filling up. So there the thing remains working away to all otftrnitv. TIia drndfrintrc nrn loaded www J - ? o o up and carried out to sea :ind dumped overboard, only to wo k back ia time to the starting poiui. "I have seen," bp ppnpludt'4, ''working side by side, two men oil subcontracts, one of them fiirpwipg the dirt ffoc^ b'is excavation into tho hole mado by his companion, so that the same dirt was oosting two prices for removal. I am not an engineer, but I verily believe that tho only salvation for tho harbor lies in tho adoption of the jetty system." Writing on the subject of edelweiss, Mr. Burbidgc, of the Trinity College Botanical Gardens, Dublin, points out that the plant is easily grown in English gardens frQnj seed. It is sq\yn in common gatdc^ earth |n a cold frame, and when large enough each little plant is placed in a small pot in a mixture of loamy earth and old lime rubbish; or lin nUntc o cot72 orn nnn 11 v waII IUV MU OW?jr VMV If V4* pleased by a niche in asunny rock garden, provided a supply of their farorite i'iuio tjibtysh ov ql<4 be afFpr<ie4 them.'
