THK tY usnmgloii rosi uas me ei-1 elusive information that Grover j Cleveland has positively refined to accept the DetQociatic nomination. As the Po*t is edited by Mr. Francis Elation, who i? a very rabid and iiot specially >avorv Republican, il is hardly probable that Mr. Cleveland "Would give all the Democratic news j papers the go-by in order to confide to it such a iuoinemous piece o! intelligence. Maj. W. L. McDonald annoances iu this week's issue of the York Enter prise that his connection with the j paper has ceased. Maj. McDonald founded the enterprise two year# ago since which time he has had charge ot the editorial department.

Thk State and the llegisster concur in the opinion that it is unnecessary for the News and Courier to renew discussion about the burning of Columbia. So far as Columbia is concerned >-he can well afford to tercet the past in the j promise of a magnificent future. But \ it is nevertheless true that mch per- i siftcnt fal?eh?ods have been ulteiedj about this matter that at least ?ne- ! half the people of the United States , believe that Columbia was burned by !

Without {urstiing the mbj-ct ad nauseam, it is veil occa-ioually to fasten the wr?n^ wliere it belongs. The best crop in the South is j e.is.
