There will probably be a surplus 111 of more than one thousand dollars. The srrandfather of Lula Hurst, the ||i noted Georgia wonder, predicts the iend of the world in 1932, and says that we will see symptoms of the approaching end next year. It is hardly necessary to say, after this statement, that this is'a wonderful family. President Cleveland seems not to have forgotten his early training. "While receiving the Baltimore Synod a few days ago a prominent divine asked if he remembered the Shorter Catechism, to which the President replied: "Yes, indeed; I know it all, every word of it, now." The official count is stui going- on in Ohio, and it is claimed that there are clear indications of the grossest frauds having- been perpetrated. A prominent member of the citizens' committee for the investigation of frauds has been arrested on a charge of perjury. He was released on a bond of ?1,000. Opeka singers may be permitted to break managers, but base ball players will not henceforth do so. The highest that Secretary Bayard has blundered iu the selection, but Dr. Curry may' turn out well after all. We hope so. Fitzhugh Lee is making a lively canvass of Virginia, aud the Democrats are giving him rousing meetings; While Wise is reported to be having a lonely time. It is said that Mahone is not giving Wise much aid and comfort and that he is running a still hunt with the view to securing a Legislature that will return him to the Senate. The following from the Augusta Chronicle will apply to other Southern j States as well: "If the insurance compa- j nies realize a profit of nearly ?500,000 per anuum in Georgia, it does not require much figuring to show that, if possible, that money ought to be kept at home, if the State expects to grow rich. We are kept poor by just such leaks." Secretary Manning has asked for the resignation of Assistant Secretary frtrin t-Vio TTniforl fl'PRJni'V I In an interview Mr. Coon said that in { the request for his resignation it was i stated that it was not on account of any official act, and that he supposed i that the Secretary simply wanted i Democrats around him in the protni- i nent places- Mr. Coon has forwarded ! his resignation. Mr. "William Switzler, of the j National Bureau of Statistics of the ! Treasury Department, has been de- < tailed to attend the exhibition of the Charleston Agricultural Society, which will come off in November. The! wealth and resources of the State will j be exhibited at this fair and no better representative or more appreciative judge could have been selected for the position than Mr. Switzler. .A.

The salary is rather small, and will not be very attractive to a lawyer of national prominence. wages, next season, will be S2,00U for -? - seven months of the scrvice. Of / course the lions of the game are growling, their only consolation being that rich patrons will make them handsome presents. The only objection that can be urged against the appointment of Dr. Curry to the Spanish mission is his entire ignorance of the matters he will have to handle. Some of the papers think The shippers of live stock from i points on the Spartanbnrg & Union Railroad are loud in. their complaints of the unnecessary delay of twelve hours at Alston depot to which their shipments are subjected at that point. This added to twenty-four hours in | Columbia amounts to thirty-six hours without food or water for the animals. This results in loss to owners, to say nothing of the cruelty to animals.

The Herald states that, five ! years ago, vegetation suffered consid ! eraoiy ov irosis as laie as uciouer zi | in New York and on (he Atlantic seaboard, as far sonth as North CarolinaIt will be well, therefore, for farmers and gardeners to prepare for the coming cold spell. Secretary Bayard told a reporter that the relations between the United States and Mexico were never more cordial than at present, and that day by day the strong ties of commercial interest were drawing1 the two countries into closer union. For a long time there was a great deal of jealousy on the part of Mexico agaiust the people and institutions of this country, but these feelings of jealousy are rapidly being replaced fry fraternal feeling. j The Senators and Representatives i of Charleston county have recently j been engaged in investigating the affairs of Charleston county, iteporis of sub-committees will contain a history of the affairs of the county since 1SS1. It is suggested that the force be reduced in the coroner's office; also a plan is suggested by the committee on I county commissioners which effects a reduction of $13,000 in the expenses of the county. The report is generally favorable to the county administra tions. The people of Edgefield are very much excited over the recent arrest of parties connected with the lynching of Culbreath. They claim that the officers of the law have suddenly become over zealous in discharging their duties and that several innocent parties have been arrested. Several of the prisoners made their escape from the custody of the sheriff and warrants for the arrest of the sheriff and jailor have been issued for allowing prisoners to escape. The people UL U1C WC31/CIII IC'vUuu VI juugvuviu will hold public meetings io express their indignation at the arrest of citizens on mere groundless suspicion. His Fraudulexct, as he is sometimes styled, has since his retirement from President Tiiden's seat been engaged in raising chickens, but this industry not proving as profitable as i he expected, he finds it necessary to supplement his income by an addition from some other source. He therefore proposes that Congress make an appropriation for the collection of prison statistics; and he offers his services as. collector of the aforesaid statistics.} Tt Tcr>n)/r hp ft nice "fittle [Ub. bUt'ffiCH ! days of jobbery and robbery ceased when the Democratic party got in power and the South returned to its i seat in the saddle. Mr. James T. Bacon retires from the editorial department of the Edgefield Advertiser, after a service of more than twenty-iwo years. During all this long period Mr. Bacon has been as true as the truest to South Carolina and to Edgefield.

On the same day the Synod in session at Savannah adopted resolutions condemning the action of the directors.

A .*A . 1 -MLIIU IUUSC LMllJgd Up I UUU1. ^ The second trial ol Ferguson for the j murder of Benedict was in progress ] iu Abbeville last week. The State was ' assisted bv Gen. Youinans, of Colum bia, and Gen. Moise, of Sumter, to- i gether with several members of the | Abbeville bar. The plea of the defend-1 ant was temporary insanity, and a number of medical experts were examined by counsel for the defendant to establish this fact. At the former trial the jury could not agree and a mistrial was ordered?ten jurors were for acquittal and two for conviction. On Saturday morning the second jury came into Court and stated that no agreement couhl be reached and a second mistrial was ordered. Tfye jury stood seven for conviction and five for acquittal. This case has attracted no little attention, over the entire State, and the public are disappointed that no final settlement could be reached one way or the other at the present trial. We do not attempt to pass judgment upon the case, or criticise the action of any one, but we think that it is high time that the line should be drawn 011 the plea of insanity by criminals. A plea of alcoholic insanitv was entered by a defendant on trial in a sister State last spring and he was acquitted. Others have been acquitted 011 the plea of emotional insanity, and others still on the general [ defense of insanity. The line must be I 1 V r> drawn somewnere. 11 men are acquitted of crimes where passion is synonymous witfc trnrpurary insanity,they will soon lose that regard for the lives of their fellow-men which they should have, and tbe ends of justice will be defeated in capital cases where | passion caused the deed. The Grant-Johnson subject which has received so much attention from the press recently seems somewhat of a squabble, as will appear from the following extract taken from the News and Courier of Saturday: Mr. Channcey M. Depcw's letter to Col. Fred Grant, narrating a conversation with Gen. Grant about President Johnson's revolutionary project, . has caused very great surprise among tne omciais 01 tne state ana war aepartments at Washington as its allegations, notwithstanding the fact that Col. Fred Grant says Mr, De&ew's letter is substantially correct are totally at variance with the official documentary evidence. The fpeeches and interviews of President Johnson during the period covered by Mr. Depew's letter are very afferent in sentiment from what one .vould naturall expect after reading ;hat remarkable production. The statement about sending Gen. Grant -o Mexico is shown from documeits of the war department to be urfrne. President Johnson referred to *nd explained the matter in his annual message. It is significant that G>n* Sherman refuses to open his mo^b, and says that he will never imp^ information he possesses to a iviug soul. The explanation why -he matter was not embodied in tie impeachment of President Johnson is very lame. President Johnson's-riends, Mr. Pasbo and Mr. Kelley, d> 1Jot hesitate to impugn the veracity of Col. Fred Grant. The New Y>rk Herald says: "We deem it duty of Col. Fred Grant forthwith to give to the public the 'dociments, letters and personal recollects' by which, as he assured Mr. D-pew in a lettei* that we printed yest/fday, he has 'verified Gen. Grant's tarrative of President Johnson's revolutionary designs and proposals.' The interview with Col. Grant which we Tir " ninJiH' uot altogether slsifefactorv." SHBp Vehardly thinb^makes any materiaFQifference whether Grant favored the inpeachment of Johnson or not. We tKjik it about time thejpress were givmjpne dead a little rest. Pauper JLabor. The flowing extract, taken from the Newt *nd- Courier, on pauper labor will be interesting to onr read''ers: '--X;- . The "Washington Post, noticing the remark of Mr<tindlev Vinton, presi dent of the YiWpn Iron Works, of Indianapolis, that^pauper labor' was just the kind tha^ skilled American labor could best .qgford to. compete with, reminds its;rei*ler5 that so-called "pauper labor" is thjffiest paid labcr in proportion to its^roduct and the dearest to the_ employer, .. When the rate of wages in a certaiv^line of work in a certain locality is-ti^o dollars a day aud in the same lige^fn another locality three dollars a dav^-it may be accepted as an almost uniyertal proposition that in the latter ease, tije, work-' mgmen are getting a Jessgjg^entage of the product, and employers receiving a larger percentage of the product than in the former. Not only this^ but the intelligence and adaptability of the skilled worker inure to the benefit of the employer to a certain extent, regardless of the wages paid, so that, as Mr. Vinton says, in times of depression or slack work the unskilled workman is the first to go. Strictly speaking, as the Post says, it is not a. competition between differ ent employers or cavers classes of i labor, but between products. If it [ were a question of competition be-; tweeu labor or the wages of labor, the j employer of labor at seven "dollars a j week ought to compete successfully \ with his rival who pays ?8.31 a week, i and the Massachusetts cotton manufacturer of 1831 who paid the former price was much better fitted for the world's competition than his successor in 18S0 ttlio paid the latter. But a I little examination shows that the higher-priced labor of 1880 was cheaper to the employer than the lowerpriccd labor of *1831. In 1831 the Massachusetts spinner took care of , only twenty-five spindles and his yearly product was 1,656 poundr of cloth, , while in 1S80 the spinner attended to ( seventy-three spindles and turned out 3,794 pounds. The wages of the operator in 1880 were seveuteen per cent, higher, and he had increased his pro- i duct 129 per cent. It takes no argu- ; ment to show that the manufacturer got ; more for his money in 1880 than 1831, ; and the operator received more for his \ work iu 1S31 than iu 18S0. j One of the reasons why wages are ] higher in this country than in England ] is that more work is performed here than is performed there, and the higher-Driced labor is fullv as chean to the employer as the lower-priced labor and is generally cheaper. High wages i are an evidence of cheapness of pro- c Suction, not of dearness. Tbe work- c 2i'S obtain more because they produce ( more. Wheu the United States are 1 unable to compete successfully with I foreign manufacturers, the cause, as a 1 rule, is the greater cost of the raw 1 nateria!, not the higher wages paid i ;iere. And the greater cost of the :aw material is due to the protective system. t nntrhf pvoc onH olocfi/* cfnrw ret gray, lusterless hair. It is unn.itiral, needless.

Don't sur- ^ *cnder your liair without an effort to saye it." * THE RASCALS ARE GOI>"G. ! The President Intends to Fill All Yacaacies j Rpf^rfl rnnrr??fcK >7ppfa. It is the intention of the President, the Washington Capital says, to complete his list of appointments before Congress meets, in order to relieve himself from the combined pressure of the politicians whom the assembling of that body will bring together. He proposes to take the office-seekers single-handed or in small detachments instead of waiting for a consolidated attack, and when the Congressmen get here they will find that all the vacan- > cies that exist or arc likely to occur have been filled. Then the winds may roar and the thunder? may roll from the other end of the avenue with all fierceness without disturbing the Ex ecutive serenity. The President explained to a visitor the other day that wherever vacancies occurred or good cause was shown to justify removals he would appoint Democrats to office, and the best Democrats that could be fonud. The tenure of office law was recognized so 'far as was consistent with the efficiency of the civil service, and his party must be patient and wait for vacancies to occur. He was a Democrat, the President said, and as a Democrat believed that such a policy would not only be recognized by the people, whose respect and confidence he valued, as a proper one for him to pursue, and be believes it would strengthen the Democracy more in the end than hustling all the' Republicans out of office and hustling all the Dem~ ocrats in. He was willing to recognize that political services entitled those who performed-lhem Jo the ' ?innnrQ"f7iAf Trp>w>.'re-r)n bv their efforts. But such men should seek elective offices, and not expect to find their rewards in the patrouage of the Executive. He did not object to receiving applications for appointments, but rather desired them. The more numerous the the better, as they gave him a larger field to choose from, and made it easier to find good men; but he did object, and seriously too, to the un - Cl rc&&uuauic |ne??uie luau was Olieii brought upon him to appoint some particular man to an office to which he had no especial fitness, simply because sach a man was recognized as a useful and competent party leader, and wanted a place that would peimit him to devote more time to political matters than if he were enframed in orivate affairs.

A delegation of Southern men, among whom were Senators Hansom, Harris and Gibson and Congressman King, of Louisiana, was heard last week by Secretary Manning and Assistant Secretary Fairchild in behalf of the rice planters. They seek to have rescinded or amended an order issued during Secretary Folger's administration under which they say food rice is admitted in large quantities at the rate ot 20 per cent., ad valorum instead of paying the specific rate fixed by law. The order referred to relates to granulated rice, an article imported largely tor brewers. The claim is made by planters that 'importations unnnr this order are doing great injury to the market for food rice. The Secretary has the matter under advisemont. An Answer "Wanted.
