I' J The Press and Banner. Wednesday. Oct. 3,1877, Always Reliable. We direct attention to the fact that the Messrs. White Brothers havo just reecived an immense stock of goods Tor the Fall and Winter trade, and thet they are now roady to supply customers with every needed want at the lowest living rates. Their business has increased so much that they have bought the adjoining elespmt and commodious store lately owned by Miller tt Kobertson, and have tilled it with groceries exclusively, while their old stand on the vomer of White's Block is overllowing with the choicest dry goods, clothing, boots, shoes, hats, and a thousand and one other articles for the comfort and adornment of the human form divine. At this store the young ladies will tind Messrs. Amos Morse, Joel Wier, and K. M. Osborne tlie most agreeable of salesmen. M r. John White, who has so faithfully ministered to the wants of our people "for half a century will be ever ready to wait on the farmer and furnish him with the substantial of life on tlu- best of terms, while the Messrs. White Brothers will themselves serve you all in any way, whether 111 receiving old dues, or in selling good bargains for cash. A New Broom Sweeps Clean, and n New Store is the l'lace to get Great Bargains. Kvery man likes to know where lie can get the best goods and the most of them for the least money, and for this reason the readers of the i'rcxs awl Banner will thank us for directing them to the new and elegant brick store of Messrs. James II. Morgan iV Brother, 011 Bnneomb Street, < Jreenville, whose stock comprises a general assortment of the best and cheapest, goods between the mountains and the sea. It will be re membered tluit these gentlemen had what then seemed t<> bo the misfortune of losing by lire, during the past summer, all of their old stock (if goods. Ibit the sequel shows that u was a blessing in disguise. A lar^e and beautiful brieK store has been built on tlie old site; and these gentlemen are now opening attractive goods in such profusion as will daz/.le the beholder at their number and their beauty, while their cheapness is the wonder and admiration of all the buyers who have called for bargains. A Correction. Last week we stated that Israel Howie the Sexton of Trinity ehuivh had been married the night before our paper was issued. As evidence of the popularity of the J'rew and Ha inter, the item was a great success, for Mr. Howie was engaged all next dav in explaining that it was a mistake. 'l*his he did about a hundred and titty times according to his account, and by his own exertions and those of the people he hail told, he tinallv succeeded in Satisfying the town's people that he was not married. According to request we correct the statement, but there is .some tiro underneath all the smoke, and the right honorable sexton will be married next mouth?that is, he expects lo be. Our statement therefore must be lilKCIl JIM llliUK* mi llll-ll >?i urnii pro tunc, ns the lawyers have it. Coming events usually cast their shadows before, so it is said, and this event had much ol' .substance in it. The Great Attraction. Mr. Thomas W. Davis, of Greenville, is one of the most enterprising men to be found in the State, and he has one of the largest and most select stocks of goods to be fottnd this side of the Jllue Ridge. He has wagon loads of money aind buys all the cotton that is offered to him, regardless of price. He has employed C'apt, W. It. White, of our town, in his store, where every Abbeville man moy be sure of a hearty welcome, and a! good bargain in every needed article. Full lines of dry goodsaml groceries are ad ways on hand, while an army of clerks stand reiuly to wait on customers. Mr. J Davis makes a specialty of shoes. In the; rear of his store is a line wagon yard, which is free to all. llemeniber to enquire for Davis, when you go to Greenville. Rifle Companies. One of the most attractive features of j our approaching Fair wilt be the compel-1 jtive drill by the several ltille Compa jnes oI iuo i ouiuy. Tlieso spirited* organizations, to the jmmber of lour or livt*, havo already en- i tered thelist* aud there will probably bet others. Their conduct in this behalf] evinces the true "esprit de corps" so J necessary to such organizations; uml j .apart from the laudable pride which the ! .successful company will enjoy in wear-J jng their well, earned laurels there will j bo awarded a substantial premium ofl as a memento of their skill. Iron Foitudry. Messrs. Redmond, McDonald it Co.,' Iron Founders, of Greenville, present their card this week, and solicit a share of your orders for whatever castings you may need.

If you don't call for if, its . your own fault; w e have informed you of the fact, where you can get goods' for a . .w>?ig; we can do no more. We can lead a horse to water, but we can't make liltn drink ; we can tell you whore to get good bargains, but wo can't make anybody 'jbuy. + j "There's JLlfc m the Old Land Yet. We are pleased to announce that Messrs. Henry H. Norwood and A. W. Jones have formed a partnership In the mercantile business at this place, and will soon open an entire new stock of goods in the -store on Washington street once occupied by Trowbridge A Co.

K'Utor Prcs.t and Jinnner: We will give you a bit of information I in the llase Kail line. ! The Ilasscola Club, of Due West, has i just won the ribbon over the Lone Star of Warrentou in two closely contested games. The first game took place on the I grounds of the latter club, and was very ! exciting up to the close of the game, i The boys are whole souled fellows and at noon, ihev had such a nice dinner for [every body and so much of it and were I so kind about it, that there was great j danger at one time of our boys being un able to plav. Hut we did manage to play lii...i.i tiiiit evening, and after a deal of Imni lighting, the game was declaim! in favor of tlu! Ilassoola Club. But the I Kittle was not over?the Lone Star determined to give lis a more obstinate fight than ever. So on Friday li!?tli, j September wo met them on our ground and fought a tightlv contested game. At different intervals in the game there was only the difference of one or two scores. Perhaps so many pretty girls excited some of the opposite nine, which was u misfortune. At the close of the game the score was declared in j favor of the Hasscola Club, hy 2"> to l.'J. Our boys consider that JIasseola I which name means rising sun has rose I right brightly, for in the first two weeks of her existence she has been sueicessful in two obstinate games. They esteem these two victories a little more highly from the fact that three or four excellent players from the Rcsolules of your place, gave valiant assistance. We hope soon to meet some of the other clubs of the country and would be pleased to see the club from your town whom we will try and give a warm welcome in two senses of the word. X. i - - - I j TIIE LATEST FROM CIIAM HE ItLAIN. lie Declines to IJccome n Public \Vitne*s--IIis Purported Letters to Kimpton nnd Parker "Jlny be Genuine." 1 [From the Now York Tribune, September 21.] In the handsome marble building of the New York Life Insurance Company; oil Broadway, the last Republican Hover-! nor of South Carolina, Daniel II. Chamberlain, now hasau o/lice, and is a member of a law firm doing a large business. His room, which forms one of several opening into each other, is reached from j the outer world of hallway through an j interior corridor, from which branch otf i alcove-like olliecs. An air of active work pervades this chain of oillces. Entering' the narrow alcove of Mr. Chamberlain, the visitor sees directly in front a large window, and, lining monotonously the walls upon either side, to the very * ceiling, the calfskin-covered books of a 1hw-| library. Standing close to one of the 1 ' i.-Itli liiu l>n/.lr tr. flin <1/irtr -i ? vn, umi mo #'?%' *. k..v^ v,Vw.r and intently reading a law-book, was Mr. Chamberlain, when a representative of the Tribune?who had been previously! announced?came into this alcove on Saturday. The man reading the hook is of medium height; the close fitting suit of black makes him look rather slender, his eyelids droop over the eyes, he is decidedly bald, and altogether has the look ol a keen-witted and high-bred city | man of forty years of age. The visitor I was greeted with a distant bow, and was told, with a weary air, by Mr. Chamberlain, that lie had just returned from delivering two lectures, one at Potsdam, N. V., and the other at Worcester, Mass. j During the few words spoken about this (journey, Mr. Chamberlain had seated | himself at his desk in the centre of the i room, pi ami his book upon his knee ami J had gazed dreamily at the ceiling, nt the | ttoor, and at tne wjuksoiiovpitkuic. jic | Imd not read the newspapers much sineu liis departure, lie said, and consequently had no basis upon which to make any remarks concerning some criticisms upon his course while attorney-general and Governor of South Carolina, which had appeared. Indeed, he. had determined, upon the advice of his friends to say nothing ut present about his connection with the government of South Carolina. '.'A competent tribunal is- now investigating the methods of government in South Carolina for the past ten years,"' he said, i "and doubtless mv own part in that govI eminent will be. fully disclosed by it.'' There had been two letters printed on South Carolina affairs purporting to have been written by himself?one addressed to Parker ami the oilier to Kimpton. Both might be genuine. "This one," I said Mr. Chamberlain, at the same time taking up the one addressed to Parker, "this one may * be genuine, although it reads to me as if it had been doctored: that is, some words interpolated." "This one." said Mr. Chamberlain, holding up the letter addressed to Kimpton, "this one also may be genuine. And if this letter is genuine," Mr. Chamberlain continued, "there isn't any tremendous wrong concealed in it that I can hoc. It is true that we bought tho (Jrccnvilif and Columbia Railroad, but wo lost money by doing so. Wo did not buy tho other roads mentioned, f see that some newspapers say wo made a vast sum?was it two millions??through this railroad purchase. Jt was, in fact, a losing speculation." Sir. Chamberlain farther said that Nilcs G. Parker's hostility to himscll was inexplicable to him. .Probably it was duo to the prosecution of l'arkertluring his term as (Governor. Jlo had not ! hoard anything about the man for years and was much surprised at his sudden I eruption lately in Jersey City. Then Mr. j Chamberlain suddenly*changed the subI ject. "JJy the way," he said "who is goj ing to control the New York Kopubliemi State Convention?" "Apparently Mr. J ('onk)ing is to have evorything his own I way," said a gentleman present. Mr, j Chamberlain continued: "Tho President's friends clearly haven't been very vigorous, except in talking. Do yon think Senator Colliding will oppose tin Administration there?" "Not unless h< is violently assailed by it." replied tin ' gentleman." "That is what I think," said ! Mr. Chamberlain. Tho gentleman continued: "Some days it looks as il' tin Administration was more afraid of Conkliny; than lie of it." "Indeed, it doe.j lool< that way," replied Mr. Chainborlaii I and bade tho reporter, who had mean i time arose to go, good afternoon. J Wasii inotox, September 2i?.?Judg< I Lucius C. Northrop has been appointe* ! United States district attorney for Soutl ' Carolina, viee Stone, resigned. Mr. Stephens arrived last night in un? usually good health. Mr. Stenhens. acconii>anicd by (?en, I Young mllod on the President to-day ' | and urged upon him tlio appointment o I Ilerschel V. Johnson for tho vacant sea on the Supremo bench. Mr. Stephen; i presented tlie claims of the South to sea j on the bench, and spoke very strongly tr I the effect that the appointment of Sir j Johnson would meet tho views of th< people of that section. The Presiden t' was a polite listener, but Ill's speech in . -dicatcd nothing in regard to his inten t,tions. Mr. Stephens will leave for New s York to-morrow, but will return l'or flu j opening of the extra session. Letter From 3Ir. Hood. Editor Press mul Banner: I notice in the Malison of 19lh inst., in tlii! c??iiori.il correspondence, some .sentences in that part relating to the I Solid Invest igating Coinniitteo now at , work in Columbia, upon which I desire ; to make a few remarks. I desire you to reprint all of that portion of the letter referring to this subject, so that I cannot : be charged with taking any sentence out jof its connections, and giving it a forced meaning as a detached one. It is as l'ol[ lows: | "The r.ornl Commission is also hard at work. Their in vesication will show tip a | systematic.scheme lo plunder the tax-payers j mici|imle-.l in the liiMory of modern times. ! Kver.v step taken by Hie Committee will show more plainly the wisdom ami l'oresi-rlit I of tiiose members of ihc Legislature who iajsistcd njion acompleteand thorough invi-.-tiCiition of the whole debt before tin: appropri i ilium in iiu.v ?ihjiii\\ m |mi inn-ri^i mi un ?/I c?/.'c</dcbt. Tills invest igation w ill convince j tin- bond rings and speculators of New York and elsewhere that the day for legislation in [their behalf, anil again*! those who pay tin1 [taxi's lias passed. It will destroy the sophistical reasoning of that class of galvanized | Democrats wlio vexed the ears of the public duri'ig the discussion of thisijucstion at tin; I last session of the Legislature with their visionary notions of liiiancesand the credit ol tin- Stale." 'It will stamp out the prctcnsionsiopolllieal I wisdom of the "seedy gentility:* and open the j eyes ol their pigmy apologists. It will save | tin' state from thebin and tolly of paying out I the money of our poor people to the lioiutlcss speculators who have heretofore defrauded her. Jt will do away with the idea that every man who happens to hold a spurious liond Is an innoceiit purchaser. The truth of the matter about these innocent purchasers is. that there are not half so many as some people would have you suppose. The idea of a money dealer in Now York or anywhere else being deceived about.a State security is simply ahsurd. If you wish lo iind out how this matter is, write to any broker in New York who deals in State bonds and you will get all I lie information you desire, and iind that lie knows more about our finances than many ol our own people." ! Some of those sentences arc very true. For ! instance, if you will allow mo to trouble you to count them. I will say that I do not know anything truer than tlio llrst and second. The third is not true, because It implies, if it does not positively assert things that neve,. existed. ;>d.?"Kvery step taken by the Committee will show more plainly the wisdom and foresight of those members of tiic Legislature who insisted upon a.'complete and thorough investigation of the who^' debt before the appropriation of any money to pay interest on the .io-ctllc(l debt.'' This sentence is peculiarly binary in it* construction. It divides the Legislature Into two classes. One ciass wanted to pay the InI crest on the public, debt wil/ioul <1111/ cjt'iuiiiuilinn ex to win it U frautfulrnt, and ic/utl in not. The other wanted to pay it a No, but wanted it examined bijorc payment should lie made. The llrst class was foolish, the second wise; the wisdom of the second class was always plain, but is now made plainer by the investigation going 011, The truth is, there was no Such class in the Legislature as the first one. so far as a desire to pay interest on the Itonds without, a com IIICIC IIIII ifiui W, 1.1 IV fraudulent from tlie non-fraudulent <mn be predicated of it. 'l'liori! may have been such decrees of wisdom amongst the members as would justify classification,and I really iliink there whs; and I also think it is prol>al>!y true that this distinctive feature is becoming even more apparent as tlie correspondent States. I do not know that the Republican members would have been unwilling to pay the interest on the debt without examination I think | thai if left to themselves they would not have I insisted on it. They had paid it before vith:out examination, nnd doubt less would have done so again. Hut the corresnondent manifestly does not mean tliein. He has in view none except Democrats. There wan not a Democratic member in the Legislature that wanted to pay a cent of interest until every individual bond. Coupon and certificate of stock on which inlcivt, might be claimed should be thoroughly examined, and its parentage traced. Those tainted with fraud were to be set aside and t heir payment refused, and only the non-fraudulent to be paid. And even with such cxaminative precedent, no interest except tiiatwhichaccrued between ! 1st October lS7ii and 1st October 1.S77 was to lie I paid out of the levy of this year. I The only ditl'erence in opinion was as to whether the Committee to be appointed to examine the Public Debt should be invested with such authority as would make their judgment on eaeii bond, coupon and certiticateof stock final; or, whether they should I examine, determine what onesare fraudulent {and what ones not, as they are now doing, land lay the evidejice, together with their [ judgment, thereon, before the Legislature for | its tlnal action. Those that favored the first view were of opinion that as the Legislature I as a whole, could not from the very nature of I the ease, with Its own eyes see the vouchers, or evidences either fur or against the validity of any Imml, it would at. last have to depend for its tinnl decision almost entirely on the report of the Committee. They were also apprehensive that, as the coupons arcdo elnred to tie receivable fur taxes paid Ihe year they mature, many of them might decline examination, ami seek to loreothemselvcson the state Treasury through tax collectors. ?<iicli a isite "f things wouM tnniuestloinlly choke our goveie.menf at its very beginning unless a levy suflieiehtiy large to meet such an emergency were made, whether II were appropriated then, or only collected and held over to he appropriated afterwards. Those that favored tlie second view, held the opinion that the Legislature could not delegate, to the Committee a right that belonged to It as a whole, that a Committee might lie appointed or elected to make the examination and report the facts, hut that Ihe final action must lie the work of The entire General Assembly. This was the course adopted, the committee was appointed and directed to proceed to the work, the levy was made and the taxes resulting, bound over to be applied to the intctesi of such portion of the bonded debt as the Legislature may adjudge to Invalid. All members, so far as -could he discovered from their speeches on the tloor, and thicr votes on the various points looking towards this end were of one mind on the main quest ion?nH contended that a "complete and : thorough investigation of the whole debt" should be made before any payment of Interest. A*ot 'I sinf/le mrnibrr artvocolrrf unyvthrr course. There were dlllerences of opinion as to tnc best methods to accomplish the object. Somewauted to create the committed in one way,and some, in another; soma wanted it larger, and some,smaller; some wanted to clothe it with more power, and some, with less; hut all stood on the same ground im to the leading object in view; vise., a full Investigation Lrforc pnijwnt. Why. then does this correspondent allow himself to olucc a part of the legislature before the publieina position which not one of them ever occupied?. Charity would say that lie does it unintentionally, lint, then the question will recur, why does he repeat it, or thimrs si mi liirluit In so niitny sentences of this one short extract. What less is said in the fifth sentence?? . "It will destroy the sophistical reasoning of "that ciiiss of galvanized Democrats who "vexed the ears of the public during tho dis"eussion of this sit the last session of the 'Legislature, with their visionary notionsof "ll nances and the 'credit of the State'." Jlere is a class that were sophistical in their reasoning. Sophistry Is a course of cunning reasoning, bused on false premises, and intended to deceive. I do not think, however, :1m! any member tried to deceive any other. I.ut in addition, they were "</ntranizeit' fernoerats." 'J'o galvanize a thing is to place a coat of purer material over a baser one, by art, to conceal the base.* from view. When applied lo the case in point, it ought to mean, If intended lobe understood as it is written, that that correspondent knows some men in the Legislature that are Deinoerots,elected 011 that ticket as such but whom he knows to be Republicans. They "resetI the earn of the publictheir views 011 finances were "vuioiin?y/." I have italicised the words quoted as you will observe# Xow what does this sentence, when thus umtllzcd (rive you? You have a class of men in the Legislature who pretend lobe Democrats, hut who are in reality Republicans, and by tho employment ol art. disguise their real sentiments and try to lead the Legislature to unsafe conclusions, This is a most serious charge. Shall we understand that the correspondent wishes to be thus understood; and that lie has the cvi ence to sustain himself in it? They are evidently the same men that are presented in a fa I s.i light iti the third sentence, and would . embrace not less than three-fourths of tin1 entire Iiemocraticmembersof the House, and 1 a large minority of the Semite! Jf the third sentence seems to lean to the conclusion that there was an anhnux in it, doc* not.this oik strengthen such belief? i would not venture to draw any conclusion whatever from the sixth sentence. I'robahlv 1 it was intended as an expletive one, xvlt 1: enough of rhetoric in It to give it something 1 i of Hie swell and sound of oratory. 1 The remaining ones follow ] suppose, as ? . natural consequence and conclusion to tin previous ones, Jwitli a sufficient, variety o. r new suggestions, pathetic and sage by turn!

' i some persons for having tried to perpetrate i ' wrong mi the country. )| Asa- whole, the notice |r a very singula! [low. The facts In tin-case would have heel interesting, anil no doubt gratifying to tin public. Wi1 have all known lor years that tin Republican party were recklessly i*.Miiii} - liouds, an<l wasting ?!ie public fmnls at a fear < fill rate.

Why the misrepresentation am 1 acrimony: No man in the State knows bet les than that correspondent that-there was m . essential ilill'erence of opinion in the I.egisia I tiire on the bond and interest f|iie>lion onl; as regarded the detailsand methods toaecoin ' pIKll the object. He. has often admitted tha ?, the dillerciico was only as to what mean fj would most, likely secure a thorough exami t nation of the debt before the payment of it .interest.

At a lime when the outlook I was gloomy and uncertain, General Gordon came to our assistance, and remained true and steadfast in his devotion to our | interests.

It was with the utmost pleasure that wo learn, from intelligent sources, that tlie re-election ol (ieneral Gordon to the United States Senate may be regarded beyond the possibility of u doubt. Although * he election does not take place until the vinter ol 1S7S, the discussion of tlie matter has already taken shape, and there are aspirants for liis position, whose friends would detract from the eminent service and vainly seek to disparage the unsullied record of Gordon. Neither can be done, if th ?> people of Georgia are true to themselves, and arc willing to accord the just meed of honor to exalted merit and {faithful observance of duly. Senator Gordon lias claims upon the people ol South Carolina, and it is with sincere re! ir.et thai we find even the slightest oppo jsition to his election.?llcgixtcr. : Committees on Premiums nt the Abbeville ICair.
