The Chinese government is about to
semi out the fourth company of young

The Lynchburg (Va.) Republican reports
squirrels migrating southward in
large numbers, saying "they may be
seen above and beiow the city, just be

their bark boats, using their tails as
sails when the wind is favorable."
It is a significant fact that the New
York 'Times, a journal of considerable
political sagasity, predicts the final defeat
of the hard "money men, and thinks
there is no room for doubt that, when it
comes to the final contest, the force of
numbers, as well as the boldness, the
earnestness and the hopefulness so necessary
to success, are all with the greenback
party.
Great preparations are making for the
State Fair in Columbia, in November.

Some of the New York papers are beginning
to cry against the lavish expenditure
of money for church music in
Gotham. The total cost of all the.cnoirs

and a singer l,o00, the latter sum being
paid to Miss Imogeue Brown, of St. Bartholomew.
The result of the election in Maine

Up at Edgefield the prisoners have a
high old time, and walk out of the jail
whenever it suits their royal will and

It is reported that Senator Gorden, of
Georgia, and Mr. L. Q. C. Lamar, of
Mississippi, will lecture in various cities
of the North during the Fall months
proceeding the assembling of Congress.
It is to be honed that this report is true,
fof it would be hard to find two s gentlemen
in the whole South more competent
to enforce the lesson the people of
the North are just learning, and convince
them that Southern Democrats
are not the bandits and negro-killers
the Radical press are so anxious to make

Direct Trade With England.
The subject of direct trade with Ei:
gland is now exorcising the Souther
mind, and Dr. Thos. I>. Worrall, th
agent of the Mississippi Valley Trad in
j Company, is now urging upon th
Southorn people the necessity of goin
heartily into the work.
PIic Aii(/uxt(c Canxl nationalist reporl
a recent speech of this gentleman, i
which he presents a strong argument i
behalf of the enterprise, and explain
nlnnvlir Hwi nlo n Anopof inti rPlin I
tor shows the folly of the South, wit
its annual cotton crop of 4,000,000 c
bales, and with nearly all the sugar an
rice, and most of the cotton produced
and with one billion, three lnindre
thousand bushels of grain grown on th
shores of the (Julf and in the Wesl
sending these products fifteen hundre
miles to the Northern ports, to be ship
ped to England, and thus enricbiu
others by a trade which sbeshould carr;
on herself. The South and West ar
the great producers of the country, am
other sections are but pensioners 01
their bounty?furnishing indeed th
money, but money which comes at la*
from England. Why employ thes
middlemen, and enrich them at our e.\
peu.su, wneu we^cau uo uie wont oui
selves and keep the profits to ourselves
Any other course is the extreme of follj
The remedy proposed by the speakei
was the co-operative system, or "liocli
dale plau," the details of which h
clearly set forth?a plan in which th
members of the Society shall receive al
the profits of the business carried on
These Societies, he said, had spread ove
England, and had now an aggregat
membership of 500,000, with one thou
sand stores, and large investments ii
manufactories of all kinds, and in ever
department of industry. They numbe
among their leaders some of the be*
thinkers of England, and are governs
by a congress which meets once a yeai
and in the interim by six congressiona
boards, without whose sanction no grea
movement can be undertaken. Th
Mississippi Valley Company has beei
endorsed by these boards, and by th
congress, and by the leading journals c
England. According to the statemen
ot the speaker:?
"The capital of the company is $i"),
OD(i,UOi), ami the business is to he con
ducted by two boards of ecjnal author
ity; one to be called the English and on
the American board. The funds to b
used in England will be under the ex
elusive control of the English board
ami that now being raised in Americ
by the American board, yet both wil
act in perfect unison while carrying ou
the objects of the organization. Th
ooean ships will be owned and control!
ed by the English branch of the com
puny, but it is now quite clear tha
smaller ships for coast trade must b
built by the American branch, and witl
these we shall be able to enter ever;
Southern port, and thus control th
whole coast trade from Norfolk to CJal
veston, and convey in these ships ou
uiwl li?vn1 note fin fV/mi flinnnrtni
vessels. It is also quite clear that ceu
tral wholesale depots must be establish
ed in every State of the Gull' and Ih
Mississippi Valley proper, in whicl
manufactures and supplies of every' kin<
will be sold both to the members of th
society and the business communit;
generally. These stores will be man
aged by "picked men in each State, \vh
will be responsible to the general board
and manage the business under thei
general supervision. J5y thus dividini
labor and responsibility, the whole bu
siness can be conducted much bette
than from one centre. The profits wi!
be divided between capital and trade, oi
the true Rochdale plan."
The efTVct of this enterprise will b
greatly uenerieiai to uotn countries?ui
English will find a market for their sui
plus manufactures, aud a safe invesl
ment for their surplus capital, at tli
same time that they get their supplies u
reduced rates; whilst the American
will be able to purchase manufacture
goods at low rates, and find a read,
market for their staples, and above ai
will be freed from the tyranny of Wal
Street sharpers, and keep some $30,000,
000 at home, which go now to enrich tli
non-producers of the East. Liverpoc
will be brought to our doors, and at leas
25 per cent, saved in the cost of Jiritis
goods, at the same time that capital wil
be kept ut home which now goes to th
East.
The speaker stated that he had nu
with the most encouraging success, an
thai the stock would soon be raised?tlui
lie had received assurances of suppoi
from every State and territory, and c>
peoially from the leading members an
officers of the State and sub-ordinat
granges. The success of the enterpris
he regards as assured.
For years the South has been the slav
of the Northern capitalists, aud her liar
earnings'have gone to swell the ovei
grown wealth of Northern cities. He
great staples, as soon as made, hav
passed into the hands of speculator!
and other parties have reaped the profit
of their production. We hail thismov
in behalf of commercial independent
and trust that it will inaugurate a nei
eraof prosperity for our section.

The first of these is 'to reach the Yiet<

Spekc's or Livingstone's hypothesis

'complete circumnavigation.' To th
duty he addressed himself at once o
reaching the lake last March, and it
probably by this time completed. II
second objective point was the Lake A

crossover, and, in his own words, 'I
endeavor to discover how far Baker

Views of Business Men on the Pend-|c

1 Tin- Aimunta f.'hrouidc and Sentinel! S;
. has interviewed some of the leading ['

' their opinions 011 the coming question, j
11 Mayor I'Messays: "It is clearly best t
to let matters stand as they are. The t
act of Congress, providing for resump- t
tion of specie payments in 1S78, was i
~ nothing more than a catch penny to get: 1
votes. The framers had no idea of its It
, being carried out. They knew it could i
lv not be. lint it was to remain until after I
('j the election in 187(5, when it was to be 1

think that resumption of specie payjj
ments can be accomplished until our
ii exports exceed our imports. On the
other hand I nee no reason for inflation.
The .South can look only to, and depend
,, upon, agriculture for success and our
.. prosperity must be dug out of the soil.
, Provision crops, with cotton as a surplus,
will bring high prices, and then
. we will have more money to be invested
j in manufacturing, insuring genuine
0 prosperity throughout the cotton Slates,
and not based on any inflated currency."
Mr. II. H. Hickman, President of the
Bank of Augusta, says: "I am for let.
ting currency remain as it is for the (
present, but at the same time T am in ,
* favor of making provision for the re- .
sumption of specie payments. If Con- ,
, gress will legislate on the currency, j
"* which it has no right to do, let it pass au
act providing for the creation of a sink- ,
, ing fund, say twenty millions of dollars J
'! annually. This it can raise by taxation '
' on some article or articles not now tax- ,
ed. No time should be fixed for the resumption,
but whenever this sinking j'
i fnnil i? cnnsiflorod larure enouirh. sneciol:
can be put iu circulation at onco. The
isjnct providing for resumption iti 1879
r amounts to nothing since it makes 110
J. provision for such resumption."
v Ex-Seiiator Doolittle's Speech.
(" The Ex-Senator, who was invited toj:
take the place of Mr. Davis at the Win- j'
ncbago County Agricultural Fair, has:
;l delivered an address which has been |
i-s highly complimented. In it he urges
ia t the abolition of the ballot, and the in
,e traduction of a system of open voting,
0 and at the same time advocates a double
vote for heads of families. This last
would seem to be a good substitute for
.. tlie woman's sutlrage movement, as it
;s gives a representation to the married
women at least. His argument is that
jt! the man of family represents two or 1
js more persons, has a greater interest at
]'_ stake, and has more knowledge and ex- :
()jperienee of what most concerns the good '
() of society. tSuch a law would offer a'1
js premium on marriage, and would be M
j. sustained by the example of the ancient \
republics, wher married men were preferred.
In the language of the 8en- i
Hator:- '
j J "This mecsure appeals for support to '
rt all heads of families; to all wives who '
.J preside in their happy homes; to all
I mothers who have discharged the high- j
Must, noblest and most sacred of earthly
.' duties, in hearing and rearing up ehiljdren
to be men and women, lit lor the
i duties of earth, and when they are over,
~ J lit for the society of the blessed in the
.y! eternal mansions; and to all young men
^ and women who desire to build up hapli
py homes for themselves. The support
" of all these must and will be earnest,
jj; intense and nearly unanimous. While
tj | men yet without families, who cherish
| the memories of the homes of their
' childhood, and know the blessings of
,_j home government, will generally unite
in favor of this."

address.
The first sneaker was Col. James N. (
Lipscomb, Worthy Lecturer of the (
State Grange who delivered an able and (
jarnest address of an hour in length,
vhich was listened to with marked atention.
There was then an hour's recess for

jounteous profusion, and rare excellence
'or which the community is noted.
Then followed an excellent address

OUR COURT. 1
The October Term of our Court openitl
here on Monday last, His Honor 1
Fudge T. H. Cooke presiding.
A noteworthy feature in the constituent
of the petit juries is, that whilst
letit jury no. 1 consists of three whites
md nine colored, petit jury no. 2, consists
of nine whites and three colored?
i coincidence entirely accidental and
:he more singular on that account.
His Honorstated that his instructions
x) the Grand Jury had been so rftinute
it previous terms of the Court that he
tvould content himself at present with
simply urging upou the members of the .
jury, that if any matter worthy of presentment
had come to their knowledge, .
hey should bring it before the Court. 1
It was a duty made obligatory upon
ipon each individual member by his '
>ath to bring before his fellows all mat- 1
,ers worthy of presentment which had ,
;ome within his knowledge.
Solicitor lilythe was detained in
JreenvillG until luesuay evening and

Skxatok (jJohdox, of Georgia, in a
ecent letter, corrects a misrepresentation
made with regard to one of his
ipeeches, and thus defines the carpet>agger:?
"Its signification is as well defined as ?
hat of black man or white man; and it .
neaus in Mississippi just what it means ,
ill over the South. It embraces that
;lass of political adventurers who came
o the South immediately after the war,
md by dishonest means obtained possession
of our State governments, and
lave administered them for the most I
jorrupt, selfish and sordid ends, and
,vho have done more to destroy us, to
ilienate the races and keep alive sec- 1
iional animosity than the war and ail
.hings ehe combined. J did call upon
;he negroes and whites, Democrats and
lonest .Republicans of Mississippi, to I
mite at the polls to drive from power
his class of men, who have cursed thai
State with what I sincerely believe to
je the worst government that exists

The differences between the Town
Council of Anderson and the Board of
Trade have been settled, by agreeing
upon a proposition that Mr. J. C. Keys
act as Cotton Weigher until Saleday in
rv.inkn,' it'll<>n n committee, consisting
wu'uvl , *? jivii ? , w
of Masters of Granges and two rep re"
sentatives from the Board of Trade,
designate a weigher, who mayor may
not decide the proper allowance for water,
according to the decision of said
committee, and the weigher to receive
five cents per bale as compensation for
his services, to be*paid by the purchaser.
This is to be a final settlement of the
whole matter.
Gen. Butler has accepted and invitation
to speak on finance before the I Joston
Board of Trade in this way: "The
importance of the subject, the fact that
my views of the financial nocesslties of
the country differ, probably, from those
i)f many of the Board of Trade, aird certainly
from the platform of the polit- .
ical party with which 1 have been accustomed
to act, decide me to break my
determination mn. ui. |h .h
part in any public discussions which
moy seem to have a political bearing.
With many thanks for the honor, I
will endeavor, health permitting, to be
with the JJoard of Trade on the 14th of
October,
Maine's vote is not one of tendency
merely ; it is a decisive one, A 2,000 minority
in an abrogate vote of 100,000,
igainst an 11,000 minority one year ago,
ia no result of chance, but the plain
fruit of resolute intention. It will have
the same influence, both at homo and
ibroad, that a clear victory would have
bad. Upon all voters in this time of
general judgement its etlect would be
unmistakable. Massachusetts will answer
to Maine in the same strain in November.?
