The Committee appointed to select a permanent ?iairman elected J^G. Henderson, a? es Senator from Mis souri. Tliis was consid?r?e? a victory for Blaine's enemies, bat in the long rundas proved v by the r?sultait had The Nominees. In onr humble opinion the Repub licans Tiav? nominated iSeir ablfst if not their strongest man. But men are not alwsys voted for on the score of their ability ; there are many other considerations that arise to influence voters and carry or loee an election. We had all as well acknowledge in advance that Blaine is a Btrong man, a skillful manager, and a trained tac tigian, and as such, make our prepara tions to meet and vanquish him. It is never good policy to underrate the Btreogth or courage of an adversary. It tb.rowB^o.8 off onr guard and ren whrn it is too late to remedy it. Let ns rather allow that Greek will meet Greek, and that we have a foeman worthy of oar steel. It ?B already being said by many that Blaine 'will be the easiest man of all thftTbtt?b to beat. That may or may not be. It will be well for n3 if we find it so. Bat wa had bet te* not calculate with too much cer tain ty upon it. jj He will get no Dem ocrate.- That is eure.- Bat he will be about as apt to carry the solid vote of his party as any of bis late oom Petitors-Arthur, Edmunds or Sher man. : - : Fortjuaately, we Democrats have ample time to 'survey the field, lay our plans, and calculate the chances, between-.this and, the .meeting of our 'tttfuma?lfomin?ting Convention on advantage tc give the Bepublicans the precedence ein time, as it affords us a chance to act mere knowingly and deliberately, and to take advan tage of their blunders, If they should beso unfortunate'as to make any. We can have time to find their weak points, and perhaps, by a timely nom ination; and some aha rp practice and skillful maneuvering, be able to cap ture a discontented faction, or, per haps? a -?verTn g %ai? It is all in the future ; and the. game of politics is one of the most capricious and un certain of j4Bl ?thjirar ? ?f ? We are not of thoee "w?o think that Blaine will be more easy to beat than any of hie late competitors. He is a .man of mark, Of |>ra]in,, of most un doubted abrHtyl and has astrong hold upOU the faith, jnd ;jeoofidence,of his party; arf^wV1V^kSt^h^?t? hiw ? aomination afi altog> ther as favorable ' 't^M^eTOocraric success'?s ?hatof some one else of Jessr/orce and prominence might have been', cal h? isfailyand fairJ^in?he field, and our business ?r jsJo_ fiad a man that carries more wssgkjbtittnUie does, and eau wiu in an^jaatfljjsl |>eure "tte ' American ?le{-v ' " for|^ogan^he is the man who led'through Georgia with Sher man.

There was ??thir g inconsistent in the nomination of Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, to be presiding officer of the Chicago Republican Convention. Decorated with every variety of in ^a^tbJ^3Ec?gd froanju^ie du ring some twenty years of assiduous carnet bagging, he was a statesman 'i^rataalbice f?;?nsyrittfeb> for the risky degree of candor and frankness that it involved.-N.

From present indicatiou8? on eveiy iMe, North, Eier, West and South, it wocUl per m that Samuel J. Tilden", of New York,"will In tha choice of the Democracy at Chicago, next month, for Pr?virent of the United States. 3ome how 01 other, Democratic peo pie seem to have arri.ed at the con zlneion that he is to be the winning card-the Moses who is to lead us out of our Republican bondage of fcwenty.-fiv'j yearo. Mr. Tilden is old, and his body is palsied, but be will accept. His bead and mind, howev Br, are in no wise palsied, and he Sbill writes the finest and most forci ble English we have perhaps ever read. All South Carolina however prefers Bayard,' of Delaware, and we hope our delegates to Chicago will be - dis fcinctly instructed to vote for him jus1 as long as there is a ghost of a chance of nominating him. Evidently Anxious to See Them. A?d to feed them and to pet them ! In the light of many chats we have b-td lately, not only with gentlemen, bat also with ladies, of almost all sections of our county-and of many l-tters and communica'ionH we have received-we have changed our mind in regard to the Ute Fruit Hill Reso lutions restricting the political can vass to four or six set meetings. These Resolutions passed easily ; but stilt it fs'cl ear'to" our minds that our people, to the contrary notwithstand ing, are anxious to see the candidates early and often-to see them-to feed them-to pet them. We do not think we are mistaken. So, gentlemen of | the race course, hold up your heads and wade in !" M Howdy, Howdy, How d'ye do, How'syour wife, and how are you?" Pi'eacbiug to Negroes. . Are cur Baptist preachere-and all others as for that-answering the Rev. N. N. Burton in regard to his admirable christian proposition of last week ? Let them not Blight this great matter of conscience and duty. Republican Platform Next week we will publieh, in full, tb9 Republican platform recently adopted at Chicago, Our readers can preserve it for contrast with the Dem ocratic platform which will be enun ciated from the same place about the 12th July. Let Ali Register. Capt. L. Charlton, our efficient and accommodating Supervisor of Regis tration desires us io state that Regis tration, willclo8e on the first Monday in July. There are certain people who should by no means in the world fail to register. We multiply no fur ther words on the subject. I'erluyn sal I AB regards the renewal of cer tificates, this can be done up to thirty I naya before the gener? election. Tbe Great Fire I ournament. Tne outlook for the Firemens Tour nament io Columbia next week is very flittering indeed. It is now certain that eome twenty-five com panies and teams from other cities and States will be present and par ticipate. The round trip rates upon the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta and (the Columbia and Greenville Railroads will be very cheap indeed I There will be almost countless thom ands of. people in Columbia during this tournament-the 18r,h aud 19 h -and amusements will be amply provided /br all who attend. The occasion will be one well worth pat ronizing. Tte London Times on Blaine. - . - LONDON, J'.ine 7.-In^ieading ar tide discussing the results oT the Chicago Convention the Times this morning says : " Mr. Blaine's nomi nation will be received with general satisfaction. Not only has he been the most popular candidate from the outset', but he is beyond all question the most conspicuous and respected politician in the ranks of the Repub lican p'<rty, which has done iteeii honor by the nomination of so well known and distinguished a man. If the Democrats could makeup their mind to a dtfinite and reasonable free trade policy they wouid certainly se cure more sympathy rn this side of line Atlantic than has hitherto been accorded them. Meantime we must congratulate the Republicans on the choice of a candidate eo eminently puited as Mr. Blaine to represent and uphold the dignity of the United States." The Times, Tbe Herald, aud Puck. AH Opposed to Blaine. ;.Now we will have some fun. The Times, the most influential Republi can newspaper of New York, has de clared that it would not support Blaine if he was nominated. Puck, the comic newspaper which has be come a formidable power because of its incisive cartoons, has been parad ing Blaine as the tattooed man, tat tooed with fraud and folly, for weeke, and presumably will continue to do so.. The " business men" of New York city have been the supporters of Arthur and the foes of Blaine. Blaine's personal character is notori ouely bad, and his spirited foreign policy exceedingly distasteful to the timid representatives of capital who dread nothing so much as war. The New York .Herald will probably en list vigorously in the fight against bim, as it was an Arthur organ and has denounced" Blaine as a iiar and a per pon of general disreput .- Greenville News. Chief Justice Simpson went up to Laurens yesterday, and Associate Justice Mciver is in Cheraw and As Rociate Justice McGowan in Abbe ville. They are not resting, but mak ing np their opinions in the numerous cases which they heard at the April term ci the Supreme Court.-Regis ter. Three pounds of copperas for twenty five cents, and ei. ht or ten g dione of water to the pound, is a good and cheap disinfectant-enough to last, one family nearly all Summer. \ skcich of the Presidential Ca date's Career? '- . James Gillespie Blaine, the Re lican candidate for President ol United States, was born in Wash ton County, Pennsylvanie, in ] and was graduated (rom Waehin College at th? age of 17. I graduating he taught school f time in Pennsylvania and Kentu wrote for the presB and studied In 1S53 Mr. Blaine we^it to M where he edited the Portland At tiscr and Kennebec Journal. I 1858 to 1862 be was a member ol State Legislature, serving for years as Speaker of the House, most from the day that he aeeu charge of the Kennebec Journc had great influence in the pol and policy of Maine. At 25 y of age he was a leading power in councils of the Republican pi and before he was 29 he was ch chairman of the State Executive C mittee, a position which he has ever since. In 1862 Mr. Blaine was elfcte Congress and was re elected, fi term to term, until 1870 when was appointed Senator to fill a va cy. Mr. Blaine always commac the attention of the House, and three terms was the Speaker. It been said that no man since Cl time presided with 60 absolut knowledge of the rules of the Ho In the Seriate he took a promit part in debate, and was recogni m a leader, but his career there cut short by bis appointment as ! retary of Si ate, under President ( field. AA Secretary of SUte Mr. Bli wan vigorous and bold, but far f discreet. The e ia no knowing w trouble would have ensued hac remained in nffico. Thoughtful t breathed more freely when hie resif tion was accepted by President Art and he was succeeded by Mr. ] Unghuysen, who treats the countr no sut prises and has no taste political pvrottcbnice. Mr. Blaine is a warm-hearted, ? erous man, withpleaent manners, the happy faculty of making frie wherever he goes. His followers brimfull of enthusiasm and have plicit confidence in their leadei News and Courier. Roswell P. Flower, of New l o Congressman Shelley, of Alaba thinks Rcs well P. Flower is the i whom the Democrats ought to nc nate forlhe Presidency. He belie that Mr. Flower could unite Democratic , factions in tho State New York and achieve success that State, which is necessary to election ol' a Democratic Prend? He says that Mr. Flower's instit a.-e good, and that his chara? would commend him to the supp ol the business interests of the co try generally Geoeral Shelley thi Flower would receive a cordial s port in the Southern States, as v as in New York and New Eogla Gen. Shelley is opt ?se 1 to tariff f talion. The Free Bridge at Chappell There nov; seems to be no longer ? doubt on the subject of re buildi and continuing the town ol Ch pells, at the old spot. To judge fi the fabulous prices paid for town 1 at the recent sale, one must inevi bly conclude that the people are thusiast ?cally in earneet. In meantime the subject o? a free bric acif?ss the Saluda at that point, the by bringing a large portiou of Ed field near to their market, is be pressed and agitated with the ca earnestness, which means success the undertaking. Mr. Smith, owner of the ferry, has already in, it a free ferry, and offers to give ferry if a bridge can be built. rJ ferry is worth about $1,000. A cc mittee waa before the County Cc missioners of this county laet Tu day, asking aid from the county, similar committee visited the Cour Commissioners o! Eogefield. Abc all the County Commissioners can i is to recommend the L?gislature pass HU act, giving them power to f t ropriate a certain Bum out of I surplus they may have ia the tre nry, after paying the expenses of t current years. It is now suppos that they will have a sufficient arnot ot ?urplu? funds to aid right han somely in both the building of t bridge at Chappell'e and the one Bouknight's. We hepe the Coun Commissioners of Edgefield will lo< favorably upon these Jree bridge pi jecto, for their constiaction will be very great benefit to a large portii of Edgefield county. The citizei s i both Bides of the river at Chappel will aid largely in the building of tl bridge at that point-by private su Pcriptions. We wish the uudertakir auuudant success. We want to see large and thriving town grow up Chappell's. It is a good business ce tre, having a large anci rich surroun ing country li om which to draw. Ncwbei ry Neus.

But Siste Wightman came, and because it ws thought best, she wae insisted upo to occupy the altar as speaker helor a mixed audience at eleven o'cloc on Sunday. Very reluctantly sh did so, and talked beautifully am plainly on her favorite theme, an " woman's wotk for woman" recc-ivei a fiesh impetus. The ladies: wer charmed, pleaeed and greatly bene fited.

And !'.!! agreec that it was a good talk-just wha we needed. But some who have ni regard for what Paul says about th< performance of duty and abstinenci from sin, quote him vigorously anc with a great deal of leeliog mixer with holy horror, saying, " Paul sayi women must not speak in public,' etc. I wish she could come agair and stay longer and talk more to ???<.; and women.

For J,he Advertiser. Inti resting Aiken News, AIKSN.S C, Juno 6,1884 EDITORS ADV?BTISER: /ikeuhie settled to her usual summer dnUiuef. Every one seems to be taking a rt Et, except the candidates and the farm- <. ers.. But, in town, trade is at a stag- - nation. The monied visitor has de parted, and now the little business done is to be squared up "when trie crop is made." The exceptionally cool weather of the last few w?eks_^ has benefited us in keeping back the " Northerners; bot it has also kept J back the cotton crop to our detr?-~ ment. A poor rule that does .not I work both ways! Cotton looks bad-"] ly, and many complain of bad stands. Abundant rains are giving us good gardene, making the corn grow, and supplying us with grass. Oats and wheat are being harvested. The yield in both is short of full crops. Fruit | so lar promises well for a good sup ply, and our shippers are already re alizing profits. Choice fruit is ship ped directly North, while the inferior^ Btock is sent to Charleston. The lat? ter is the best market for average orJ miscellaneous shipments. The pioM duce dealers there assort the fruit, ship the best North and sell out the balance to retailers and hucksteiB. One of our farmers makes a gocd thing of his asparagus, every seascn. shipping North. He has gone into a new venture, the Niagara grape. A company furnishes the vines, he cul tivai 8 them, not being allowed to propagate (rom them, he sells tie fruit and divides the profits. This holde good for five years when tie vines become his property. The^ grape originated in western New-, York, is a white variety similar to the malaga and is to come in compe-' titi on with the latter. Some fonr hundred odd vines are planted to the acre, and in full bearing will furnish from fifty to sixty pounds of fruit. Li6t season in its native region it j brought twenty-five cents a pouLd, while other grapes sold from ten to fifteen cents. There's money, but also a monopoly, in it, as one grower has a C?itain amount of territory around him into which no rival producer can plant a vineyard. The melon crop bids fair to be. a bountiful one. It] will bea blessing to the aforetaid candidates, as they will "set 'em up" for the crowd at the barbecues after " laying by" time. One of the fra ternity told me recently that his aim waffgetting to be of Sullivanic devel opment and his palms corny from the constant diurnal "shaking" with the dear people. This reminds me of the band-shaking last Court here of four ex sheriffs of your County, Mosers. Jones, Spires, Bolea and Gaston, who met on our streets. Mts.

One affected tb laugh away all fear, when another who had rnov?d in from a dry town said, "Ob, my friend,just gt-t those women started here, and we'll have to move sgain." The col ored people have a large temp?r?t ce society here and a few weeks ago kid the corner-stone of a new hail socn to be built. Amorg other buildings going up in the town are three large brick stores, the property of the Hon. O. W. Croft. These will add gnttly to the storage and looks of our busi ness street.

Aiken boasts of a colored baiBer, Wm. Cormic, who remembers as a boy to have seeD Gen. LaFayette when he visited America the last time. He has had the honor of shaving many illustrious men, among them, Web ster, Clay, Calhoun, McDufEe, Brocks, Butler, Wigfall and others. The old man is in good preservation, uses to bacco, but Ulorigs to the temperance society. Fishing frolics ^nd the Schuelzen balls are our only excitements now in a social way. DOTS, For the Advertiser. A Candidate Practicing Speaking at the Plow. Dear Advertise)- : Justa little space if you please as the merry month of June has come again, in the Priman year, we are somewhat surprised that we have not heard of a single picnic th 13 season. Our Candidates are lot gi ing lc display their oratory ; our boy j and girls are looking forward witl much pleasure ; and, beyond a doubt we are all anxious to faste once inorpj some "good old barbecued bash," and to prove that we want it, let's go tri work and get up a big barbecue-gej together and have a big time in gem eral. We have plenty of such niel ovely spots, so many sparklinj springs, of pure cold water, in dea]| old Edgefield, that we must hon them with our presence. Old peopl^ o get them up for us!

For the Advertiser Commencement or Leesville High School. ^""MESSRS EDITORS: I bad the pleas tire of attending the commencement exercises of the Leesville High School On the first and second days of the present month ; and desire to give your readers a brief account of some ?of the pleasant things I saw, heaid, ^nd experienced. ** The opening, or commencement, ??rmon was preached by that old ftgterar, and able Minister, the Rev. A. M. Chreitzberg, of the South Car olina Conference. His subject was the triumphs of faith, as embodieJ in the good old word victory. He gave evidence of belonging to the Church [miUtaut, and of being familiir with that good old woid which has been so -often repeated hy dying, as well as jubilant lips : Victory, VICTORY, VIC .TORY ! The audience was large and enjoyed the sermon greatly. _j^In the afternoon, the Children and young people had " Hue upon line'1 Ty the writer, and several other cler ical gentlemen. The representatives of John the Baptist and John the 'Methodist harmonized completely in that service, as it was not a question of much or little waler, but of the necessity of traiuing children in the .right way. In the evening wa ad journed to the Baptist Church, and heard an impressive sermon from the Jjev. Mr. Burton. We considered the day as one to bs remembered by ail who were present. It was a sue. cassini and delightful beginning of th3 comoancament. The examina tions on Monday were of a very in eating character, and sho ved dili gence on the part of the students and carefulness and capacity on the part ot the teachers. /The reading of compositions on Monday evening by the young ladies, d the sweet strains ol music in the srvals, ndded to their giacefulnees 1 beauty (it was their hour exclu ely) were enough to make younger crassy, a^d did .sLir up the slug h blood of the graybeards (and here Were many of them) in the ?rge audience.
