JJuring the evening lie was tendered a serenade while on one of the sidewalks in that town, and the State next day, under big head lines, gave an account of the affair, which, taken with other remarks which have been made about the Governor's private af. fairs, leads us to protest. We lespectfully admit that the sidewalk is rather an unusual place to attack a man with a brass baud, and we grant that the Governor i?i-/v.i onmothiiu* *\f o ovnrossinn of JiftUtVCU evuicilllll^ Vi U }yv/ii W v..r. appreciation of the high honor which had been conferred upon him, in such an unusual way. But we submit that these frequent pretexts of the State and other newspapers lor holding the Governor up to ridicule does no good, hut much harm. It will be noticed that the otllclal record of Governor Tillman has received very little attention from the anti newspapers, except in the matter ot pardons, and he is regularly criticised wlieu he exercises the pardoning power?which power, according to our Judgment, he has not abused more than have oth; er Governors. Reduced to the last analysis, his official record Is the only mailer in which the public is really interested. A dog may be kicked until we are sorry for It, and a Governor may he abused and ridiculed and hounded down until fair-minded meu of whatever cast of political opinion' may bo disgusted. We protest against a method of warfare which is contrary to our conception ot fairness, and which fails to come up to our no. tion of the requirements of the occasion. If we cannot discuss the Governor's official acts, and if we have no political or State policy to urge upon the attention of the public, then we submit that we have a poor cause indeed. While we do not want the Register to consider this newspaper as of undecided political opinions, yet we respectfully submit that the ijOvernor uas ? ngim iaj iuwu^u ?uw .... > tire State, and speak or not. as he chooses. We further suggest that Governor Tillman cease his ill-mannered talk about the newspapers when he is in Abbeville county. He has received no insult, offence, or injustice at the bands of the Abbeville editors, and It is a most remarkable fact that every time the Governor opens his mouth in ibis county, that he must go out of his way to attack the newspapers. The newspapers have very much the same feelings, and are governeJ by very much the same reasons as are other people, and it isiin unprecedented thing for any gentleman to attack the unoffending editors. Political Ho(l?C[)o<iec. The anils had a meeting last .Saturday, at which some ten or twelve were present. They discussed the situation, but did nothing more, as far as we know. The farmers held a caucus last Monday, at which there was a largo delegation. They, like the antis, discussed the situation and counted their hosts. We believe u is generally conceueu iuui iu? toial vote of the county will beo,u00. The antis claim anywhere from 1,100 to 1,:X)0. The Tillman side grant to the antis about 850, so we have heard. There is some anxiety on the Tillman side lest by some hocus pocus the SoOantis should electa member to the Legislature, and it is thought that they will beod every nerve to prevent so great a calamity as that of liu\ itsg . an anti in the 1 egislature. Because of their lear of the 850 it mny be possible that the primary plan of election will bo practically done away with by nominating candidates in caucus for the primary , election. If all the candidates lor the Legislature are willing to submit their chances before a caucus the plan may be adopted, but in case there is kicking the danger is that some of the Tillman candidates and somtvof the Till man voter* may not l?e willing to yield all their rights to the bosses, anil they may run auy way. In that event the machine-made candidates may be defeated by the kickers and the amis. The above is believed to be about the true situation, but we do not speak ua by authority. We have no good advice to give. It may be better for the antls for the convention plau to prevail. That plan, If It should win one time will be sure to brluK about a new state of ' thlDgs. People wi!l not long vote lor bosses and machine-made candidates. The Stall* ('niiipaigii. We believe from all that we see in the news-1 papers that this campaign is to be one of personalities, and not one of contention for priu-j elnle. Personally, as between the Tillman ticket anil the ShepparJ ticket we believe there is not enough dlJterencu to interest the Press and Iianm-r one way or ilie other, and we do ?not intend to use these columns lor the purpose of vlllifying any of the candidates, nor do we Intend to make auy ell'urt to hold up the head of either ticket to public ridicule. We have already had so much of tills that "the whole head Is sick, htid the whole heart Is faint." If the public questions are discussed we hope lo take a part, but we do not expect to admit personalities into these columns. If reduced to a question of personal preference there Is absolutely and positively nothing in it for us. If the matter of refunding the State del>t is a live issue; or if the ofllclal conduct of anybody is to be investigated; or if the question of oppressing tlie corporations is u matter to receive attention; or if the fact that hundreds of thousands of dollars are now going abroad for investment, instead of remaining at home, isol any importance; or if the e question of welcoming foreign capital within our border should come up; or if the temperance question receives notice, the Press and Banner will likely take u lull band in the discussion of these or any other public questions that may agitate the public mind, but we will not take any part in personalities.

We have been blessed with an abundant of ruin during the last week. The crops had begun to need it. Owing to the energy ot our farmers, and the favorable weather lor working the land, tlie crops were in splendid tlx, and were waiting for the relreshing showers. There never was. a year when the crops were as well worked at this season, and no crop was ever worked with as little expense than this one hits been. The small jjralu crop? are fairly good. A much la.ger area has been planted in the corn iban has been cultivated in any yi-ar since the war Hut there are Mid a number of farmers who still think It better to waste as much time in hauling corn from tlie village as it. would take to piow and make euouyli corn to supply their own needs. Corn, as a money crop, to sell Is a poor one, but when It, comes to buying corn, none but a poor farmer will depend on Western corn and Western hay. The expense and lo*s of time in hauling it from the village is olten alter equal to the labor uuit time required to make ttie grain on the (arm. Tlie Kra.s< lias been reasonably {.'oodthis year, sum tnose 01 our ieuuw-ciuxena ?uu have provided themselves with pastures have bi-en abundantly rewarded lor their outlay in money and labor iu building lenees. As a rule, a.'I those farmers wh.o wish to succeed, as well hh those who wish to rub along with as little work as possible, are realizing the great helD to be realized in providing pasturage for tlieir stock of all kinds. Our farmers have none less in debt this year than in any previous year, and with reasonable crops and fair prices they will be in good condition this Kail. ins: News.

"] have taught school a good many win tern, and the boys "that I have taught like me. They will give tne their votes. I have sometimes thotmht I should have to teacli school over the county until I have taught boys enough to elect me." The end of the speech was as follows: "My fellow-citizens, win 11 I look back over the twelve years since I became a candidate for this ottice, I (eel encouraged. When I look buck and think of the very few that for years nave trie any encouragement., and compare them with the numbers that now promise me their votes, j am proud of my success.

Washington,June 4.?The following correspondence explains itself: Dkpahtmknt ok State, Washington, 41S92.?12:45 p. rn. To the President.: I respectfully beg lenve to submit my resignation of the office of Secretary of State of the United States to which I was appointed by you on .March 5. 188'J. The condition of public business in the Department of State Justifies tne In requesting that cny resignation may be accepted immediately. I have the honor to be, very respectfully your obedient servant, James G. Ui,aine. Executive Maaxsion, Washington, June 4,1S92. To the Secretary of Slate : Your letter of this date tendering your resignation of the office of secretary of State of the United States has been received. The terms in which you state your desires arc hucu ur? mj ichvc mtr uu wiwitc uui? bv wxcuo tv your wishes at once. Your resignation l? therefore accepted. Very respectfully yours, Benjamin Harrison. Tills reply was received at five minutes ol 2 o'clock. The Washington agent of the Associated Press called at Blaine's residence shortly aftei the correspondence had been made public and asked him if he would not supplement it with an explanation. lilaine smilingly, but deliberately, replied "The correspondence explains Itself, and J have not a word to add to it." The President was next called upon and asked If he was willing to say anything in regard to It. Ills response, though made with entire courtesy of tone and manner wa> equally emphatic: "Nothing whatever." Both the President and Mr. Blaine were seemingly in excellent spirits, and each 01 them, alter declining to say anything for publication about the great event ol the day or its effect upon Hie situation at Minneapolis, turned the conversation to other topics with marked composure. Mr. Blaine's appearauce and manner ol tone and voice, however, were especially noticeable as idlcative of u feeling of great re lief and satisfaction which made him even buoyantly cheerful. Secretary Blaine's resignation was taken tc twi.uu H line nuunu uj HID putmg ov vi j Mr. Dent, who piaceo It in the hands of the President. Thin was a Utile before 1 o'cioch and within fiiteen minutes after it was written. Soon alter reading It the President descended to the East room and held his usual Saturday afternoon reception to the public. There were about 20o people present, not one of whom as he shook the President's hand could have told Horn Ills cool and collected manner that anything unusual bad happened. Indeed, an official of the mansion said the President really seemed to be in better spirits than usual and made felicitous replies to some ot his visitors. The reception over, the President returm-d to ills library and addressed a letter to Mr. Blaine, accepting his resignation. This wa? given to Private Secretary Halford, with instructions that it be delivered at once, and Mi. llalford thereupon took It over to Mr. Blaine's house and placed it in his hands. Thus the whole transaction did not consume more than au hour's time. So far as can be learned the resignation volunteered by Blaine to-duy had not been preceded by any uotlce or intimation to the President that It might be expected. Blaine lias seen the President only once tills week, which was during his half hour's attendance at the Cabinet meeting yesterday, when he made a report concerning his couierencc with llie Canadian Commissioners and relumed 10 trie Stale Department to resume il. Tb?* restgnallou appears, therefore, to have been determined upon very suddenly. But lor a long time there have been various facts known to close observers in Washington, as a sort, ol "open secret," which warrant the belief liiat the resignation, though undoubtedly precipitated by occurences of very recent dale, had its origin a long whileuro and In cuu>ea essentially personal rather ihan poll ileal, These causes may bo briefly summarized a* incompatibilities of temperament, developed and emphasized at times t>y impalient dlsagreements over public questions,such as the management of the war threatening dlfflcully with Chili; invidious comparisons and comments on the part ot injudicious friend* concerning the credit due to either lor the enactment aud execution of the reciprocity project and the general conduct Of the foreign affairs of this government, Including the uiuniwemrnt of the liering Sea conirovesy, and the lack ol cordial relations between their respective families. These causes bad undoubtedly created ? leelinu ol constraint In the personal relations of the President and the Secretary of State months before the writing of the letter lu which iilalne declared that he was 1101 a candidate lor the Presidential nomination; and recent publications authorized by Variout mc-nibers o( the cabinet concerning Blaine anil the presidency, closely following othei ?ii)iiivhu<i uiuieiiimits attributed to a membei of the President's family ami to some of li ^ close political friends regarding the Secre tary's physical and menial coiidltlun, are understood lo have made him feel that longei continuance in President Harrison's cabinei would be Intolerable to him, wholly Irrespee live of any questions of right or duty to ac cept the Republican nomination lor tlie Pies ldency, it tendered to him. One eirectol Blame's resignation Is ihesud den termination oi the conference between himself and Oenral Fo*ter, on one side, anc the liri t ^h Minister and Canadian Com in Ik sionera Foster and Howell on the other, look tin? to the rr-Jidlu?tmf*iuof the differences be tween the United States anil Canada growing out of discriminating tolls Imposed on Amur lean vessels passing through the Welland and St. Lawrence caiiais. This conference begai; at the Stale Department .yesterday and wui resumed this inorniiiif. To-day's session, however, did not last inori than an hour, and 11 is understood wai brought to an abrupt termination by lilalue': unexpected statement lhat it was useless u continue present negotiations lor Ilia reason that lie was about to sever his oflicial relu thins with the government. It Is said further that this announcement was a great surprise 10 me oiuer memuers o the conference. At any rule the dellbera Moil* were brought to a sudden close and lh< Canadian Commissioners were patenters 01 hii alternoon train bound for ihe Dominion capital. Persons who saw them at their hote prior to their departure say that they were it a very mi pleasant frame of mind and wert quite free in stating that they hud not beer lalrly treated by the administration. {Subsequently it was learned from Gen. G \V. Foster that tiiere were nosensational inei dents at io day's session and that the comer enee was closcd in a friendjy spirit on botl tides. He said that Blame made no forma announcement of his resignation to the cou ferenee. Blaine's letter to I lie President is ilatec June 2-1,12:45 p.m. It therefore must have beet written almost directly alter the British At in isterutid tils con lerees had lell Blaine's olfiee which had been used as the council chamber and It was but fl/teen minutes later when h< instructed his private secretary to take Uovei to the White House. TheKecreiary remained at the Departmenl until 1:15o'clock arranging some private pa pers. While he was doing fills one of tb( messengers laid nn official document hefor* him for his signature. He told him to tak< It away, remarking quietly, "I am no longei Secretary of State." I lis said that ibis was tiie first intimation he had given any of hi: official associates of his resignation.

As a fattening and heat-producing 1 foo.J, there is nothing better than corn. 1 But no one food contains all the ele- ( ments necessary to the maintenance ' 1 of health. As an exchange says, it is ( not good economy to use or depend upon any one material as a food for stock, as there arc few, if any, that furnish | all the elements of nutrition in the t > proper proportion to secure the best | gain at the lowest cost, and one of tbe | principal advantages in using a variety , is that a more complete ration can be | made up. Although corn is a cheap ' feed, especially in fattening hogs, oth- | er materials can be used in connection , ; so as to secure not only better growth , ' ? n i-U ~ ' , and thrift, but aiao a reuucuon ui iue ( cost.

There are many persons who tusk and me: tor blessings, bat who yet are not ?ady to receive them. They are will1*; to make the sacrifice that is requiri to their reception. There are peoe who pray for the Holy Ghost, who ave not the slightest idea of doing ae the things which the Holy Ghost rould lead them to do. The words poken by men moved by the Holy ihost they do not even read with care ior do they attempt to heartily obey hem. When the Holy Spirit came upon he people on the Day of Pentecost, 'they were all with one accord in one >iaee," but many persons aesire me rtoly Spirit are not of one accord with >ther Christians, nor do they desire to >e. They have their sects and their iccisms' they say I am of Paul and I >f Apollos, and so prove that they are ?arnal, even babes in Christ. The Holy Spirit comes to hearts that are jbedient to God, purged from sin, jmptied from the love of the world, ind ready to do all that God requires. But men pray for the Holy Spirit while clinging to the world, entangled n sin and sometimes engrossed iu folly God is willing to give all that we ire willing and ready to receive. He is willing to do exceeding abundantly lbove all we ash or think, but he would have us ready to receive what he bejtows-, and the n of his fullness may sill receive, and grace upon grace. He He will not send his Spirit to dwell in a defiled temple. He will Dot bless i church in dointr what he has posLively forbidden them to do. He will not work by his spirit to prosper an iustuin thiijps which are directly contrary to what his spirit has commandid in the written word. We cannot have the Lord's power to use in ruuoiug the devil's machinery. Our svorldly pollicies follies, and vanitits, ?ur carnal seperations and sectarian itrifes, may be highly esteemed by raen, and yet be an abomination in ihe sight of the Lord. Let us search ind try our ways, and turn to the Lord, assured that he is waiting to be gracious, and fjiveth to all men lioerally and upbraided not. Practice what you Preach The Michigan Advocate tells of a prominent minister, who when iuvited ;o a colored congregation, took occasion to erive them some wholesome loctrine on the moralities of life. In :he closing prayer the colored preacher ?ot even with him in the following fashiou : "O Lord, bless the brother ivhat preached to us to-night. Flels Drought us the gospel about good llvin\ He's done told us we mna' quit iyin,'and quit stealing and quit gettin'drunk ; and he's told us we must pay our debts, and keep our word good. L) Lord, bless him wid power and strength to practice what he preaches." Don't Scold.?Scolding is the out- * i>ur.st of impatience, intemperauce, ind passion. Do not scold either in :he pulpit or out of it, neither in the iiousenorout ot it, neither old or poung. A writer says: "It is a snockng mis.aketo be continually scolding children. No good Is gained by it, but a great deal of barm Is sometimes lone. When childien who strive to be ;ood and obedient are reared up to the ?verlastiug 'don't,' they soon see that 4 ? 1 Ta. tbey are striving in vain to piease, n rnu*t be very annoying for a child to oe tolil every hour of the day, 'Don't Jo that,' 'Don't go there.' or 'You must not make that noise.' Explain quietly to the child why it is not to do that, ar not to go there, and the kindly effort to reason will so impress ihe childlike nature that the little creature will soon learn to obey. Too much scolding ruins the character of children." Like White Folks. v/ -4 jajnZ, A northern minister was introduced to a colored minister, and inquired after his.work.

And how can we advance in the djlI'ine life and grow in grace, if we are satisfied to start every day on the same >1?| beaten tracks, and re-euact the '"mo blunders, and let our same old be setting sins cling fast to us?
