The Audci/?oa Journal has a strong editorial on} the situation in South Carolina. reproduce it in these columns for tjfre careful consideration of the Democracy: Thoughtful^ aud patriotic citizen.* rcrtv tcp.m niDn&idor and ponder the political tendencies of the day in South Carolina, fcfr to our mind there i;> apparenily iJnmiuent clanger of a disruption ititifcDemocratic party. What would result' from such a disruption is ^ largely a nflattcr of conjecture, but a ^^fc^^oment's reflection, will force the conm c 1 y brier^oicaWhc situation."*" Whereas a sense of security has hitherto 4 ijCe!; j generally felt on account of the fe>0lid front presented by the intelligence anLiJ wealth of the State, there is now a | feeling of uncertainty produced by the j dissatisfaction that is being encouraged and spread in various quarters, and there are many misgivings as to the political combinations that the near future may develop. It may be alleged by some that such misgivings and fears are entirely groundless, but still others have the right to read for themselves the feigns of the times. For instance, only last week the "Farmers' Club" met in Abbeville, j agreed upon a full set of nominees,} aud then went into the County Con-1 vention and succeeded in electing nine { oat of the twelve delegates to the State Democratic Convention. This was a piece of clique rule, open and confessed. Wo do not deny that they nominated good and honest men, but their action was utterly undemocratic, setting at naught the principles and practices of the Democratic party. We have never heard of such a thing in this State before, and we cannot see that these men could complain should they be met some day by an organized opposition among aif the callings that they have atteir >ted to exclude from representation in the councils of the party. Again, it was apparent to ail that in the primary election in Anderson county last week the question of the prohibition sentiments of several can-i didatcs entered largely into the con- i test, notwithstanding the fact that we ; had a special election on prohibition ! last year whb uie uuuersiuou purpusv < of 'settling the question outside of I politics. It appears now that a goodiv j number ot prohibitionists were not i satisfied with the result of that eiec-: tion,.and do not hesitate to precipitate it into purely political contests. This dissatisfaction is itself an indication of estrangement that forebodes an eventual open disruption in the hitherto dominant party. Now, one more thought. The last j Deaocratic State Convention made an j arrangement,perhaps imperfect in some ; respects and not exactly as many j would like to .have it, for a series of! - 1 uuiiuai^u -lY-wcBr?aTT~ candidates for nomination by the Democratic party for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor would be expected to go before the people and explain their views on all questions of the day. The conditions laid down by the State Convention were accepted only by the incumbents. Governor Richardson and and Lieutenant-Governor Mauldin, but it is now an open secret that if the State Convention can be captured and controlled, after the Abbeville manner of electing delegates or otherwise, some unavowed candidates will be nominated simply on a basis of opposition to the present administration. "Will they have the right to do this? Certainly no one can question the power of the duly elected delegates to act as they please in the Convention, but such exercise of power would not i-- -3 -?.. ivm. mua UC III gUUU iiWUI. -LUC UUlUUii VI our complaint, then, is simply this, that instead of reasoning together and endeavoring to act in harmony, our people are becoming restive, evincing impatience and dissatisfaction, and resorting to 'crimination, which are the veriest elements of disruption and demoralization, and what these will lead to in South Carolina, situated as the races are in this State, the Lord only knows. Our appeal is for the good people to stop and consider, and endeavor to get back into the old paths, that we may find peace, prosperity, and contentment. Any new venture is dangerous, and all should willingly sacrifice their private views for the sake of white supremacy. .lit. Zion. This old institution of learning will open for the next scholastic year on the 3rd September, and we are informed that the prospects for a large attendance are very encouraging indeed. "We feel that it is scarcely necessary to say to the people Fairfield anything rocomraending this school as first-class or of the great necessity of giving our children such a practical schooling as is offered at Mt. Zion. Prof. Witharow is a teacher of great experience and belongs to that class of instructors who may be called ua success." Besides being supported by an able corps of instructors, Professors Witherow and Dunn have used great cai e in selecting the apparatus and labratorv for the scientific courses?the labratorv alone costing over Ave hundred dollars. The convenience in the arrangement of the recitation rooms places it in the power of ihe principal to supervise the work of the other teachers without materially interfering with his own classes. The large and many windows give an abundance of light and ventilation, and the coal stoves make it perfectly comfortable for the children in the TTfflf.hor. Ronrrl en 11 hf? nh tained in the town at reasonable rates in private families, and for excellent health Winnsboro is not surpassed by any section of the country, being localcd on the back of the ridge dividing the Wateree and Broad rivets. The town has never been healthier than this year, an active board of health having reported and had removed everything that might make sickness. The community is religious, quiet, and conservative, and freer trorn those temptations which lead boys astray than most towns of the size of Winnsboro. The average intelligence of oar county is frequently remarked upon by those who have an opportunity of comparing Fairfield with other sections and it is always attributed to the influence of the "lan- . tern on the hill," meaning ilt. Zion. We urge our parents to give this matter of education their serious attention and point to Mt. Zion as offer isig facilities equalled by few other schools. toA Pretty 3Ies?. President Cleveland has shown by his messages to Congress that he has the rare faculty of taking a complicated question and giving it to the world as clear as the noonday sun. The Senate rejected a treaty concerning the fisheries matter, and the President sent to them a message which struck the Senatorial camp like an unanticipated bomb. The Canadians have been committing outrages on American fishermen for a long time. These circumstances led to a treaty proposed, which would have insnred the rights of citizens of the United States. But this treaty was rejected by the Senate. The President there, upon thought strong measures necessary. In order .to do this he asks Congress to give him powers of retaliation which, as the bill of Itepresenta, live Wilson, of Minnesota, proposes, suspend the transportation of goodsilw^nnr* _v T n i States territory, or to collect a toll of^VUlilt cents a ton upon every foreign vessel j" find carjjo passing into the United States from Canada. The message pnts the Republicans in a pretty mess. They will now have to turn and assist a Democratic measure or hold their peace about being the party that has the fishermen, which constitute a considerable part of our population, next to their heart. President Cleveland hit it when he suggests retaliation. That hits blow for blow. If we retaliate we will s ccnre a result favorable to the citizens of the United States, for if Congress concedes these powers Canada will be compelled to give our fishermen fair aud just treatment. The message is bold and patriotic and completely turns the tables on the Republican?. l?iaiit*' and Trust*. The Charlotte (N. C.) Chronicle says: "Blaine, in his Portland speech, said of trusts: 4I shall not venture to say that they arc altogether advantageous or disadvantageous. They are largely private affairs, with which. ni?iihr*r President Cleveland nor anv private cifizcn has any particular right to interfere.' These arc very tender words towards trust; and bold because teuder. Trusts are objects of great popular odium throughout the land. Blaine knows this fall well. Then why shottid he, in such boldness, exhibit such tenderness? It is not altogether improbable, that he expected by this phraseology, to obtain large contributions to the campaign fund of trust combinations. This" is uie best " answer we can give. "The Plumed Knight and Senator Sherman hold absolutely contrary views on the subject. Sherman, who A'1 *nAvi?mA/l AM < f IiloA r*f Q1 id >vcii laiui uiuu v<i ouwjv vi, *** must concede, says that trusts are great evils. He says, moreover, that some of them may be repressed ty the reduction of the tariff, the means the President suggests in his message. The Plumed Knight argues that no trusts are in any sense dependent upon protection. In arguing thus, it is hard for him to convince any thoughtful man that he is serious. Every American citizen of at least average intelligence feels that his common sense is insulted when he is asked lo conclude that the reduction and the consequent admission of cheaper foreign goods into competition in our markets will not break up many of the trusts which are fattening upon the life blood of the consumers of the land." UIcLaue at His Work. As is generally known to our readers McLane has been in South Carolina recently. His chief object was supposed to be the establishing of an independent paper. McLane was as close as a clam about the object of his mission, but the Columbia Register reporter got on to his real mission, which is embodied in the following circular prepared by V. P. Clayton: State of South Carolina, County of Township. We, the undersigned white citizens, seeing as we now do the great need of developing the natural resources of South Carolina, and recognizing the waut of more liberty in political action and enlightenment among the - _r n.. ... T. -1 ~ . masses 01 inu people, uu uuuiuru IU favor of more and better free schools, and in favor of free speech and honest elections. And we favor the repeal of all internal revenue taxes. Also, the repeal of the general stock law, whenever the majority of the people prefer range for their live stock. We also favor American markets for American labor, and are in favor of American ideas ruling America. Hence we protest against British interference in our uational politics and against Bourbon obstructions to a free ballot and free schools in South Carolina. We appeal to the liberty-loving Christian people of the North for aid and sympathy in our effort to improve the State and reach a higher civilization. From the above it will be seen that the real object is the formation of an organized party to oppose the De* < mocracy. While v/e do not anticipate 1 any formidable results it behooves : every true Democrat to be on the alert. Don't Experiment. You cannot afford to waste time in ex- < perimenting when your lungs are in dan- , gov. Consumption always seems, at first, j only a cold. Do not permit any dealer to 1 impose upon you with some cheap imita- ; tion of Dr. King's New Discovery for Con- ! sumption, Coughs, and Colds, hut he sure i you get the genuine. Because he can make more profit he may tell tell you he ] hr.s something just as good, or just the ( same. Don't be deceived, hut insist upon . setting Dr. King's New Discovery, whioh 1 is guaranteed to give relief sn all"Throat, * Lung and Chest affections. Trial bottles 1 free'at Mcilaster, Brice & Ketchm's Drug t Store. * j Mr. Williams' Card. j t We publish to day a card from Mr. j A. B. Williams, editor of the Green- t viile New?, in which he desires to re- j lieve himself of the responsibility for 3 the statement that the eight votes of ] Fairfield were offered first to Perrv ] and then to Duncan on condition that the nomination should be made by convention. We cheerfully accord to Mr. Williams the use of our columns to set him self right before our readers, ociieving ; that he would not intentionally mis- ' represent the actions of the Fairfield delegation, and we have no desire to treat either the Greenville News or its editor with unfairness. Our denial of the charge that the eight votes of Fairfield were offered to both Perry and Dancan has been endorsed by the delegation over their signatures, and while relieving Mr. "Williams of all personal and editorial responsibility v;e insist that our statements in such denial h:ivc been fully sustained. The tabic of immigration placed before the Ford committee on immigration shows that during the last eight years the total number of imrni- j grants to this country was 4,350,000.1 Of these Germany contributed 1,200,000, Ireland 534,000, England 496,000, Sweden 311,00^, Italy 190,000, Norway 153.110,000, Russia 115,000, ^Scotland IwWOO, Hungary M r.7 rtnn Vu] fhn sanift i l/umuai a u? jwvj ? - ^raber of Swiss; France laud 45,000, Poland 42,000. Roumania closed tbe list with 3,700. The other immigrants came from nearly every nationality on the earth. Wk should be on our guard against dispatches from Washington pretending to give impartial news. The latest attempt is to prove that the appropriations of this year will nearly use up the surplus. The misrepresentation is misleading. No allowance has been made for the natural increase of revenue, and the figures given are incorrect. The simple fact is that with a surplus of 8130,000,000 now on hand the idle fund in the treasury is increasing at the rate of over ?9,000,000 per month. No scheming by Republicans can obscure this fact. LOXDOX. So great is this mighty city from whatever side it is viewed, that our modesty cninpcls us rather to shrink from, than to project our views upon our patient readers. Prof. Davis} of Pnlnmhi>u in his fldrlrpss fn the Board of Trade, remarked how every city was dependent upon its environment for its growth and greatness. How true is this in reference to London, lor the Thames lliver has made this wonderfully city what it is. The first place of interest to which we will invite your attention is the General Postofiice,situated ou Aldergo Gate street. In this branch of government, we think the British far superior to our government. They have a package delivery, correspond- , ing " to "our express companies, thus carrying to the credit of this department what here is absorbed by the Adams and other express companies, for their sole profit and emolument. I have not been able to procure the last statistics of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but the revenue derived is immense. Another excellent policy is that of placing so many minor postoffices all over the city, a great advantage and convenience certainly to Her Majesty's subjects. We callcd at the general olSce and here one found a polite and attentive clerk, whose only dntv is to srive information to strangers.. A short" distance further west7one sees looming np with its vast proportions and lofty spire, the world's celebrated cathedral, St. Paul's. St. Paul's is bnilt of stone, much disfigured now by the smoke and dust of London. It is in the form of & Latin cross, and was finished In 1711, by Sir Christopher Wren. Its length is 500 feet, and its dome is 365 feet from the ground. We saw ail the grand monuments and tablets herein erected to old England's wise and great. The The most magnificent being that to the Iron Duke. "Great in council and great in war, foremost captain of his time." With him truly "the path of duty was the way to glory." Quite noted are also the monuments to Napier, Nelson, and John Howard. Here on a beautiful sunshiny day wo attended full service, choristers and ministers in abundance. So large was the building and so poor its accoustic properties, wc fear we could not then or even now tell the text. Its tower looms up so high it is seen from manypoints on the river, and many places in the city. Westminister Abbey, the place where all the kings and queens of England were crowned is situated near Parliament, and is visited by all1 tourists. We often hear and read about its renown chapels, nine in all. The most celebrated those of Edward, ( the Confessor, and Henry VIL We also saw and viewed with interest the | sarcophagus to Queen Elizabeth, and Mary, Queen of Scotts. Henry VIII. is buried at Windsor, and wc "did not ] see his last resting place. We left overwhelmed with gloom ana sorrow in this grand cathcdral. So holy its every foot, for here are buried all that are great in civil, naval, and army life, and magnificent statues are erected to all England's prime ministers, notably Pitt, Chatham, Palmeston, Beacons- . field. ; We viewed with great interest the j poet's corner, and saw the memorials \ lo Shakespeare and Ben Jonson. 1 Longfellow, wc gladly noted, had a j wreath on his bust. We were loath to leave this holy place, so fraught with all that made Eugland renown by sea and land, but we must hasteu on, and now ask your attention to a trip to Madame Taussard's wax works on Baker street. These famous works are ' entered by a grand entrance whicli J cost alone some $18,000. It is im- j possible to state all the celebrated ] figures, bat of course the most im- 1 portant are those of the prime minister s and bis officers. You here find the '< renowned chamber of horrors, and 1 we entered cautiouslv. The reminis- J cences and resemblance? ure so true and faithful to life that one is liable to be hoodwinked at any moment. A " fine band discourses sweet music, and ^reat crowds attend both by day and and night. Oar next point of interest is the home of Jumbo, the Zoological Garden, situated in St. James' Park. It is stated that over six hundred thousand people vi?tcd the "Zoo" last rear. Many of my readers ;have seen I ;he one in Philadelphia, but that com- *j Dared to the London one is as water g into wine. Wc rccall thu fine elephants and the pretty sight of the joys and girls riding on their backs; the collection of animals and bird3 of ill kinds and species is nnattained n the world. There arc many other sights of note, but those we will dofrr until another letter. r. b. b. THE COXGRKSsIOXAL TKIMAUY. Rule* nu?t IZega2iUlonii Governing the i Election. Rule I.

Editors: Having "laid by" j , the croys and rested from the arduous j toil of'the planter, I concluded to ! visit a illative in Atlanta, Ga. Taking the C. C. & A. Railroad, I was soon hurled through pleu&mi scenes and fertile fields to Charlotte, N. C. After a stop of several hours in North Carolina's neat little city, I changed cars for the Uate uity. arriving there safely and in good spirits, I immediately began lo see the sights in earnest. A visit to Grant Park, a miniature Druid Hill, amply repaid me for the dusty and slow locomotion of a znule street car. This delightful resort was granted the city by one of its oldest inhabitants, provided that improvements worth $20,000 were ( placed there. Atlanta went to work in earnest, and soon the taugled forest was?con verted into a blooming garden. Afterwards Ponce De Leon Springs, another resort, was visited. The peculiarity of these springs is that two streams', apparently from the same fountain and located adjoining cach other, arc as distinctly different as ocetrn water and a mountain rill. These two places arc well patronized by the city people who wish to secure a breath of fresh air and a glass of j pare water. The waters have s. universal medicinal reputation. The sensation of the day is the Piedmont Cliantaaqua, at Salt Springs, 20 miles from Atlanta, on the Georgia Pacific R llroad. To this point 1 wended my | Tsfey in company with my relutivo and jJHPt. T. T. Smith, the genial, gentJenrncnly, and accomplished agent of the & T>. Railroad. To his guidance I indebted for seeing everything at this interesting point. The "great attraction there was a lecture by the fier. Sam Jones, the "cracker preachter." His subject was, "Get There," faith the Eli left off. The subject was ^handled in his usual happy and humorous style , and he was repeatedly, cheered. On the following Saturday i I again visited Chautauqua to hear the j i^orld-renovvned Brooklyn divine, Dr. j ;jfalmage. Fully 8,000* people from j ever?^P2int crowded to listen to this | distingu&ikpd pulpit orator.

Suffice it to saythat, I, a unit of the 8,000 felt a thousand per cent, better after I heard him, and 1 think that 7,999 others felt likewise.
