The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S. C. Wednesday, March 31,1880. Republican Caucus on Saturday?Dots from the Radical Camp. ???ji... Qin.nintnifiit the louilne Ilad AWIUIU( kvarl w icals met In caucus in the colored Masonic Hall at this place at twelve o'clock. A small number of the faithful were admitted into tli<fr councils. Among those present the name# of the Allowing persons were furnished to us: W. W. Fraser, John It. To I lie it, Klias Tolbert, I/em Guftln. rem Guftln, > Jerry Perrln, Ab. Titus, Alfred Ellison, Isaac White, Henry Titus, Lewis Kiehey, T. X. Tolbert. The meeting was an Irregular one, and Intended only to bia/.e out the way to be pursued In the campaign, and was kept a profound secret from the rabble in their own ranks. It was a sort of love-feast among the leaders, who it would seein at the same time resolved themselves Into an appropriating committee?to divide out the otlices before the lesser lights coultl put in a claim for the loaves and fishes. No member of the caucus was averse to attending the State Republican Convention, if it was deemed for the good of "the party." Among those who seemed to be more anxious than the rest to sacrifice all personal in* terestson the altar of the party by going to Columbia, the following have been reported to as as more conspicuous In their de.slre to serve the party as delegates to the State Convention : Jerry rcrnn, At). Titus, Lem Guffln, Isaac White, W. \V. Eraser, John Tolbert. L. L. Guffin for some time lias been in correspondence witU R? U. Elliott, the Chairmnn of the State Republican Executive Committee. and among other matters the finance q uestion has not been iorgotten. Ab. Titus some two weeks or more ago, left Abbeville ostensibly to see his sister In Oconee County. His business, however, was principally with K. II. Elliott, in Columbia, und after remaining away about a week he returned without the money for campaign purposes Which he expected. Elliott is understood to favor Sherman for President, and Ab. Titus and I .em Uutttn, If they could get the sinews of war, are said to be willing u> carry this County for him. Lem Guffln, it Is thought, with the support of Abbeville delegation, and Elliott's assistance, expects the State Republican Convention toeiect him adelegate to the National] Republican Convention, which meets at Chicago In June next. Some of the* Republicans who assume to ruslst In managing the political machine applied to Thomas M. Christian toallow them to elect him a delegate to state Convention, but he declined the offer, and said that he Would not serve, If elected. The question as to who shall be the new County Chairman has not yet been decided. ujiii ho elecuxt at the meeting of the County Convention. John It. Toioere und Lem Ouffln are said to be looking and vrorkiug for honors In that direction. The County Republican Convention is to be held as soon a* Tolbert may think proper to iwlvlse li. Ah, Titus is ostensibly the Chairman, but It it understood that John It. Tolbort Ik at present the power behind the throne. He came to town yesterday even' lug, and it is quite likely that he and his friends wilt to-night determine on the date of the convention. Whes* the State Convention meets the State Executive Committee will be In funds, but whether to work on members of the Convention, or to use at home In the election of County officers, we have not learned. But certain It 1*, that money Is cxpected from somesoUrce and for some purpose. We have made inquiries as to the names of' candidates for County offices, and so far wc j have heard only the following: L. L. Ouffln, Probate J udge. L. P. Ouffln, Sheriff. L. D. Bowie, Clerk. Some of the lenders who have been so secret with their political mnneauvres assert. I that they iulend to hold their meetings more j put-licly as soon as they organize and form I h plan of attack. Rumor states that in the | secret councils of a few of the loaders ol the i party, t hut threats have been made against, the life of one of our cltlnc'ns in certain J contingencies, and from the conduct of cer-1 tain parties. It maybe fairly set down a? aj fact that tlie Radical leaders desire to see: trouble between the races. j MilHnerjr and Bfiuitj. The rush yesterday at the millinery stores j In Abbeville told more eloquently tluiu anything we could write of the high appreciation j In which the ladles hold the elegant headgear | and other magnificent garniture which had been placed on exhioltiou at the graud open-1 lng*. j The Emporium of Fashion, presided over I by Mix Kutter, a Philadelphia lady of expe-! rience and exquisite taste, assisted by Miss I tjitor, whose artistic skill in arraying the! cuntomers of that establishment in robes of l>cauty. Is so well known, was a perfect wif-1 deruess of all that Is required to adorn and j ornament the female lorm divine, ltonncts : ??f every desirable size and shape; trimmings J of every quality and of every hue ; jewelry, j fans, switches, and a thousand articles, the names of which are unknown to u?, erected . the eye at every turn?the whole presenting -n scene more enchanting than a fairy picture, j All these .goods are offered ior very little1 mouey. Some one has said that there would be a time when there would be no more pain or j sorrow. We can now announce that the year of Jubilee has come, aud that there' \* lll be no more old maids, except from j rtiolce. By a visit to the stort? of Mrs. R. M. I llnddon it will be seeu thai ugly faces are to I be found no more. The homeliest arrayed | in one of ber bonnets cannot fail to look well; I the "plain" face by the same process Is made beautiful, while beautiful faces encased In her j covering for the head Is perfectly irresistabie and more beautiful than Venus herself. A vi< to thisjstore Is a real pleasure. Eaater Monday Elections. At the Annual meeting of Trinity Congregation, Abbeville, the following elections were held: 4 j x-.A u?Vf w. A. Lee. J. T.

Saturday- evening was the hardest rainfal of the season. The young ladles of the Greenwood Higl School" will have a festival on Wednesday April 8th. Under their management itwii bo one of the most attractive entertainment ever given here. Ample refreshments wi! be served by pretty girls.

The post-ofllce, for the spceia benefit of the young gentlemen, will he i most unique and delightful feature. The fes tival will be largely attended, and will b altogether the most enjoyable event of th s<*ason. The young ladies of this school nev er fail lo make a splendid success of whateve they undertake, and nnmesare the stronges assurance of success. The proceeds are to b applied to tile purchase of a piano for th school. Kvery person in Greenwood isintei esied in this deserving enterprise, and th town should certainly give the young ladies: full house and generous support.

C., March 2( ?* Editors of Prem and Banner: |e Si Rh:?I wrote to you March 8th, as I 1 " that Bordeaux ought to have a voice in t columns of the Press and Banner, and, si e- enough, in your is,sue of the 17th I find i he letter in print. And what a wonderful i or; ritetnent it created in our quiet little city! ug was very much astonished to llnd a gene in I rush for the paper, even those who are i of subscribers seemed anxious to hear what B< deaux had to say. I think you may expi , several new subscribers soon. ' . | Since I last wrote you we have had elg " ! days' rain, causing an overflow on the Savs i nah lands, and as the waters have not j -Y j abated 1 can not say that any damage has be i , done to the lands. It may prove an adva 1 tage, as^in overflow sometimes leaves a sei ment that greatly benefits the soil. Much ie the bottom land had been prepared for plat si ing, and of course the work will have to r- over, and the planting thereby delayed sc .'e I eral weeks. In fact, the heavy rains ha lg thrown the farmers considerably behind wi their work, but it is probable that if the si Ci I continues to shine as brightly as It does 1 %fj i day there with the plow force next week. ,(j Our quarterly meeting came offSaturd ;e and Sunday, 13th and 1-lth instant, at tl jj. place, but owing to the inclemency of tl weather there was no preaching on Saturda However, the Presiding Klder, the Rev. M lC Prltchard, and our worthy pastor, Mr. Wt " son, were on the ground in one time for ser K i Ices; as there were no hearers, they went I n i Mr. John Harmon's with a few of the mer bers and transacted the business of the met ic'ing. There was a break in the weather So rs j batli morning, and quite a number gather* r>, j at the church and listened to a sermon of t t>-1 hour's length delivered by the Kev. Mr. Prltc | ard, and I must say we seldom heivr better. Since my last I have heard it rumored? ' ] fact have been told by several of our most r , tentive farm ers, that they had discovered tl : i rust on their wheat. It is somewhat early f | its appearance, and therefore the extent I the injury cannot oe estimated. noine ?ru ? j the opinion it will greatly damage the crc n others think different; as for me, I do n a-1 know how it. may terminate, but hope tos a bountiful crop harvested. 1- For several days the post-offlcc has be< quite a place of resort for the commnlty. an u I us ft natural consequence, politics formed tl I theme of conversation. From what I Ha1 | been able to gather from the different on ISordcaux, or its next neighbors, Is to be re resented in the next Legislature; nii(i itseer " to be the unanimous opinion that the .Sava nab side must have a man in the race?and o think as much. We have as pood material i ,j any part of the County; all we want Is .s showing. Who the unlucky man is to be I cannot as yet say. His name has not bet publicly mentioned, out I imiiik u wui so< I- leak out, from the fact that the Bordeaux D i. bating Club will soon revive, and as that wl be a place of resort for the community, ar the suhject will come up for discussion, 01 d man will soon be named ; and if there be r e split in the Bordeaux ticket we are bound be represented in the next Legislature, ft Mr. W. G. Slaughter arrived at his home I t this city after a few weeks' absence, and wi on the street to-day looking as bright ar ? cheerful "as a big sunflower."

The latter improvement 3f mixing the melted pig with oxide of iron, in the form of scales or iron ore, fvas very important, as then a double reduction takes place, the iron of the sre being as well reduced to wrought Iron as that of the pig iron; the car* bon of the latter, combining with th? oxygen of the oxide of iron, escapes as gaseous carbonic acid and swells up the mass of reduced wrought lroa like a sponge, forming the so-called puddling ball, which, after being rolled around In the melted east iron by the puddler, so as to collect all solid iron, is removed to the squeezer, sphere all slag and cast Iron remain* lng in the pores are pressed out, while , the resulting solid mass la passed through the rollers.

The Interior ot the Eirth.?A. )anish geologist asserts his belief hat the interior of the earth Is coupied by currents of Jvarlous deTees of heat, and that these mix with - 1 ? J~ acn oiuer ami atuuu a ixiiaiu uugicc f temperature, in the same manner s substances subject to all the physial influences of the earth's exterior. ?his theory, in other words, asserts he well-known fact that a mass of luid possessing different temperatures a different parts of its interior must >e subjected tos convection, the result >eing, usually, a cnange 01 voiume m he entire mass of circulating fluid. Chis change is capable of being oberved in ordinary experiments, and nay also effect the volume of the " " - * *?* luid matter in tne interior cu mo wiu, >rovided the change* of temperature >fthe fluid are sufficiently great. It b, however, the opinion of the most iminent geologists that the refrigeraion of the earth is now so extremely low as to rendor it quite unlikely that iny considerable chacgrs of volume uisiug from this cause could hava" nkcn place within rccent periods.
