Last week he was compelled, owing
to the delinquency of subscribers and

WASHINGTON, May 30.--President
Grant yesterday addressed the follow
~ng letter to the president of the Penn
qlvania Republican convention:'
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WAsHINGTON, I). C., May 29. 1875.
Dear Sir : A short time subse
quest to the presidential election of
-- 1872, the press, a portion of it hostile
to the Republican party, and particu
larly so to the administration, started
the cry of Casarismn and tihe Third
term, - calling lustily for me to define
-my positiou ~on the latter subject. I
believed it to be beneath the dignmty
--of the office, which I have been twiec
called upon to fill, to answer such a
question before the subject should be
-presented by competent authority to
-make a nomination, or by a body of
such dignity and authority as not to
make a reply a fair subject of ridicule.
---In fact, I have been surprised that so
many sensible persons in the Repuli
e an party should permit their enemy to
force upon them and their party an
issue which cannot add strength to
the party, no matter how met. But
a body of the dignity and party au
thority of a Convention to make
nomiuations for the State officers of
the second State in the UTnion having
~ eecnsidered this question, I deem it not
improper that I should now speak.
In the first place, I never sought
the office, for a second nor even for a
first nomiination. To the first I was
called from a life position, one created
by Couaress expressly for me, for sup
posed services rendered to the Repub
lie. The position vacated I liked. It
would have been most agreeable to nme
to have retained it until such time as
Congress mi ght have consented to
my retiremenit, with tile rank and a
portion of the emoluments which I so
mLuch needed, to a home where the
ba lance of my days might be spent in
* peace and the enjoyment of domestie
quiet, relieved from the cares which
-have oppressed ime so constantly now
* for forreen years. But I was nmade
to believe that the public good called
mec to make tile sacrifice. Without
seeking the office for the second term,
-the nom,ination was tendered to me~
by a unanimous vote of the delegates
P of. all the States and Territories se
lected by the R~epublicans of each to
re- --esent their whole numi er for the
pi .pose of making their nomialationf.
I cannot say that I was not pleased at
*this. and at the overwhelming endorse
mlent whlichl their action miceived at
the election following; but it must he
remembered that all the sacrifices, ex
eept that of comfort, has been made in
accepting the first term. ThieIl, tooi,
such a fire of personal abuse -and
slander had been kept up for four
years, notwithistanding~ the conscien
tious performanee of my duties to the
best of my understandit g. though I
admit in the light of subsequentI
even'.s many times subjec+ to fair
criticism, that an endorsement from
the people, who alone ~overIi rep ub-l(
a shape in which all political par
!s can participate fixing the length
If time or the nmnber of terms for
which any one person shall be eligible
;',r the office of President. Until
,ue an amendment i. adopted, the
people c:innot be restricted in their
cie by resolution, further than thev
arhe nw restricted as to -ye. i.tivitv,&c.
I ' a,Ity happen, in the future history (
tHe countrv, that to chane an Exe
m-1tive because he has been eiuht
l-ars in office, will prove unfortunate.
I: not disastrous. Te idea that any
mn -icould elect hjimself President, or
ma nlominate hinself, is preposter
us. It is a refleEion upon the in
reigence and patriotism of the peo
pl to suppose such a thing possible.
Any man can destroy his chanices for
tie oice ; but no one can force an
-,-f-ion. or eveu nomination.
To recapitulate. I am not, nor
have I ever been a candidate for a re
nmination. I would not accept a
noiinatiou, if it were tendered, un
less it should come under such circuin
stances as to make it an imperative
C.u y-eircumstauces not likely to arise.
k(I coratulate the couve:tion over
which you preside for the harmiony
with wlich its tic%et has been put in
the field. and which I hope way be
triumphantly elected.
With great respect, your obedient

THE COTTON CROP IN SOUTH
CAR oLi.-The committee of infor
iation r.nd statistics of the Charleston
Exchange makes the following state
ment in reference to the cotton crop
in this State, condensed from replies
received from the interior, under date
(f My 15:
Question: What is the area of land
planted in cotton in your section as
compared with last year. State in
erease or decrease? Answer : 83 re
plies received, showing an average
decrease of one-half of one per cent.
Question : What has been the char
acter of the weather, and has it been
imore or less favorable for planting this
than last year? Answer: 48 replies
report less favorable; 17 replies report
same as last year; 17 replies report
more favorable.
Question : How are the stands of
cotton in your section ? Answer: 12
answer not good ; 7 answer too early
to judge; 40 answer good; 24 answer
very good.
Question : How much earlier or
later is the cotton crop this than last
year? Answer: 82 replies give an
average of seven days later.
Question : How is the labor in
numbers and efficiency ? Answer:
Same as last year.
Question : Has the use of fertilizers
increased or diminished this as com
pared with last year ? Answer: 81
replies received, showing an average
increase of 6:} per cent.
Question : W hat is the present con
dition of the cotton crop in your sec
tion ? Answer: 17 answer "not good
-nights too cool ;" 14 answer "too
early to judge ;" 38 answer "good ;"
10 answer "very good."
A very hopeful- eign is to be found
in the followingz allusion by the Utica
Herald, a republican journal, to the
recent speech of ex-President Davis
made at Houston. It says :
"It is the duty of every loyal citizen
'o accept the words of Jefferson Davis,
as uttered in all sincerity, and as repre
sentative of the revived patriotism of
the whole Southern people. It should
be the regret of all that the day of
such an uuderstanding has been post
poned so long. We are fast drawing
near to another great Presideutial cam
paign. Certainly the hatred and the
bitterness which have followed their
introduction into former political can
vasses will have no proper place in
those of the future. There will be no
Ku Klux to convince the Northern
voter that the new war is worse in its
crime than the one which preceded it.
There will be no Force Bill, to compel
thme Southern people to think that the
North meant only repression and vio
lence, when it promised complete and
perfect restoration to the Union.
There will nut even be a Louisiana, if
we may trust present indicntions, to
compel the belief that there is no
virtue among public men of either
side in the Southern States. Elimina
ting all these features fromt the can
vass before us, and we have abundaut
ssurance that, ~whatever its event, it
will be followed by a closer fellowship
between North and South."
A MUsicAL FINANCIER.-A drum
mer boy of thme 18th~ infantry, stationed
it Ncwberry, was brought to the city
esterday in arrest, under the follow
ti circumstances: The boy was an
rerly, and as suah was seut by
Lieutenant Miller, of Newberry, to a
ady with somne letters sent by her
usband, on duty in Greenville, and
mi envelope containing $85. The mits
~uiled youth, instead of obeying the
>rder, marched to Pomaria, where he
bought a suit of citizen's clothing out
f the funds entrvsted to him, and
roceeded to A!ston to take the train
r this city. Sheriff Carrington, of
\ewberry, pursued the musician, and
ound him on the train at Alston. On
~erching him SET5 was found in his
>O5ssson. The letters he had thrown
way. He was brought on to this
ity and turned over to the military
uthorities of the garrison, by whom
e will be tried by court-martial for
esertion.- Union-lierald, 1st.
PETERsON's MAGAZNE.-The July- num
er is already on our table, and is one of
hose rare trlimp)hs which have won for this
'queen of the ladies' books" its vast circula
ion, larger, we believe, than that of any
ther in the world. Tne principal steel
clate, "A Modlern Water-Nymph ," illustrates
Ssparkling little sketch, in which a conceit
d town exquisite comes to deserved grief at
he hands of a pietty country belle. The
touble-ized coloWed steel fashion-plate is a
conder of beauty; the styles are the latest;
nd it is not only a fashion plate, it is a pic
ure. As to the literary contents, they are,
Salways, tirst-cli-s. We have rarely read
uchi powerful stories as those by Mrs. Ann
.Stephens, Mrs. F. H. Burnett, Frank Lee
senedict, and the author of "The Second

A PAPER FOR TIE PEOPLE.

ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in
tirests of the people of this County and the
State. It circulates extensively, and as an
Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad
vantages. For Terms, see first page.
The Centennial Mania.
Boys are getting to be a very scarce
article in this country. They have
hardly ceased to be babies before they
are mnen. But in compensation, the
whole nation is a great clumsy boy
with all the generous impulses, the
love of plby and boistero-isness, be
longing to that happy age. It is
to be feared that ou celebrating ou
hundredth birth-day we are going tc
show to the old men of Europe
that a nation a hundred years old
is just a good sized boy, and tc
show it by making ourselves ridiculous.
If we keep on with our centenniAs
the way we'have commenced. there
will not be a fire cracker and a pound
of gas left by the 4th of July. There
is not a day in the year but what
something happened a century ago.
Somebody's great-grandfather put a
new flint to his firelock, or somebody's
great aunt baked the cakes for a pa
triotic barbecue this day just one
hundred years ago. These events have
to be celebrated with fire, brimstone,
turkeys, whiskey and buncombe. A
town in Pennsylvania proposes te
cclebrate the centennial of their fore
fathers' meeting and passing resolu
tions in which they declared their un
faltering loyalty to their gracious King
George; and they expect the whole
country to participate and furnish en
thusiasm. Ticonderoga must have
victuals, speeches and bunting, because
the fort with forty-two men was surren
dered to the Robin Hood of the Green
Mountains "in the name of the Great
Jehovah and the Continental Con
gress." The papers are full of a
fight between Princeton and Rutgers
for the ownership of an old cen
tennial cannon that successfully run
away from the Britishers just one
hundred years ago. Independence
could not have been achieved without
that cannon, and the existence of the
nation depends upon the issue. Now
it is certainly very proper, that th<
noble and patriotic deeds of our an
cestors be recalled, as an example foi
the rising generation, to remind us 01
our duties as citizens and to keep ur
our faith in the vitality of republican
institutions; which faith, we must
confass, has received severe shocks ol
late years. But then there is a meas
ure in all thlings. It is difficult te
graduate the imhportance of certain
acts and events in bringing about a
general result, and the selection must
to a great extent be arbitrary; but if
we celebrate at Lexington the first
conflict of arms which directly led to
the war of resistance; at Charlotte,
N. C., tIle first deliberate utterance of
independence from the mother cou ntry
in the Mecklenburg Declaration, and
in Philadelphia the creation and solemn
annouueement to the world of a sepa
rate national existence, we have shown,
it seens, sufficient appreciation of
the valor and virtues of our ancestors,
and given ample opportunity to incul
cate lessons of patriotism and. the
spirit of liberty. Don't let the spell
ing craze be outrun by the centennial
manma.
Grant's Letter.
Grant has spoken, but with an un
certain sound. He scarcely knows
what will be best for himself or the
country yet, at least his letter fails to
throw much light on the subject. It
does one tiling, however, and that is
the extinguishing of the'idea that there
is any greatness about him. If there
is any lingering doubt on the subject
his thlorough selfishness and lack of
taste, now so plainly shlown, is proof
sfficient to.explode it. There isn't a
mite of moral greatness in him.
Thousands of men just like him have
blundered into important positions
who had no particular merit to recom
mend or entitle them, and favored 'by
fortuitous circumstances and aided by
he brains and labors of others, have
seemingly accomplished important pur
poses. His war record, the only
hapter in his history of any merit,
was the result of just such good for
une. Grant accomplished nothing.
We never saw it in any other light,
have never believed him capable of
:oing anything great or sublime. His
letter, which will be found in another
olumn, will be found interesting, in
hat it is anlothier and a very strong
roof of his unfitness. Read it.

Speights, of the Greenville Daily
Nes, has covered himself with glory.
His issue of Sunday gives evidence
that he is full of enterprise, and that
the people of Greenville and Spar

efforts. It contained no less than
twenty pages, or one hundred columns
of matter, made up of news, biography,
history, advertisements, &c.

The report of the President and
Directors of the Greenville and Colum
bia Railroad, a condensed statement o
which we find in the Charleston Aew
and Courier, shows that the financia
Co)uditioi of the road steadily im
proves. Three years ago the road wa.
baukrupt, now it is in sound condition
with the prospect of becoming richly
profitable.
C.The earnings of the year 1874 wert
$591,934. and the expenses $321,489

8270,445. As compared with 1878
there was a decrease of $39,508, o
six per cent., in the gross earnings
1Ad of $6,(;1.7 ii the expenses. Thi
was a small decrease in cowparisor
with that shown in the accounts ol
other Southern Rail Roads, some 01
which have lost one-fifth of their formei
earnings. The Down freight busines.
of the road shows an increase of aboul
$41,000, aId the Up freight busines.
a loss of $66,000. The number o1
balas of cotton carried in 1874 wa
131.319, and the largest number in
any preceding year was 107,174 ii
1873. During 1874 the sum o1
$151,678 was spent for 1,212 tQns 01
new rails, 3 new locomotives and 6(
new freiht cars. The equipment ol
the Ruad is still incomplete, and th(
-Board have already purchased 500
tons of new rails, and are in treaty foi
500 toas more. The Road is threat
ened with a business competition that
will tax its energies to the utmost, ani
it is the part of wisdom to put it ir
complete order as rapidly as its mxean:
will allow."
It is satisfactory to know that the
road is getting out of the-many diffi
culties which have so long ham pered
it, and that its future is so promising

is jubilant over the condition of the
Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad

thousand dollars made by Spartanburg
on the 10th of September last, wva
redeemed on the 31st of May. Thi.

The prospect of the road is cheering.

A Voice from Jalapa.
Mn. EDITORn:--As news is limited,
that is, important news, you must not
expect very much from me at this time,
but I will endeavor to give you the best
IPre got. We had a light rain on the
2nd, but the ground was so hard and
dry that it did very lhttle good. -It was
accompanied by lightning, whieb struck
an oak distant ten or fifteen feet from
the store of Drs. Clark & Folk, the shock
from which knocked Mr. John Hawkins,
a railroad man, senseless. It was mar
vellons tha:t others were not injured, as
there were eight or ten near him at the
time. I am pleased to say that under
the skillful treatment of Dr. Folk, sus
p)ended~ animation was speedily restored.
Some of your travelling lightning rod
men might now drive -a trade up here
as there is a demand for rods. Our good
Doctor Clark paid a visit to Martin's
Depot on Saturday, in hope of gaining
possession of a foundling baby boy
which haid been deposited there by its
cruel pa:rients. lie was forestalled, how
ever, by Mr. Hairston, who putin the
first bid, and wvho pronounces it a splen
did specimen of Young America. If
the next one could be left at the Doc
tor's lhosp)itab)le and wide open door it
would please him amazingly. I would
not have you think that there is any
great demand for babies in Jalapa, for
every one is supplied about here except
the Doctor, and his particular need is a
boy, a roaring, tearing, romping boy.
Farmers are busy harvesting wheat
and oats. Cotton and corn are back
ward, good fields of either are only
here and there, and if it does not rain
soonl our farmers will be at their row's
end. The dry time, however, has been
death to Gen. Green; he has no show
ing whatever. I don't remembei- ever
seeing crops so clean as at present.
Speaking of crops reminds me that we
have a few here who believe in planting
in the mon. One of them waiting pa
made happy, Mr. Editor. His water
melons will be found to be bigger than
any one else's, and he must take you in G
C
the first and best fruits.
And now about the L. R. R. We 0
expect to see the iron horse and hear 2
its snort at our city on Saturday, the
5th. Capt. Hannahan and his expert :
graders have already passed here. Col.
Peake intends to move his family u;.
soon. The Colonel certainly must be
related to the patriarch Job, if only dis
tantly, for no other man could possibly
exhibit more patience under the ques- a
tions which are so constantly and un- b
ceasingly asked him, and which he al
ways answers pleasantly. The new
track is much better than the old one o
was, for it is much higher and will
therefore last much longer. The Colonel
deserves much praise. But I must close,

PieNic.
A large and select crowd assembled in the
Ibeautiful grove, near King's Creek, on the
S29th, for the purpose of "pie-nicking in the 4
woods," and the occasion was immensely i
enjoyed by all, especially the youths and
maidens of the surrounding vicinity, with
Ithe addition of a gay coterie of fair maidens.
and gallant escorts from Newberry. The
pleasant murmur of voices, the bright and
happy faces of pictures ne groups scattered
through the grand old woods was in striking ]
though beautiful contrast with the frame work,
Nature. The day was lovely; and although f
the "god of day" shot his resplendent rays
athwart the forest, he had no power to eclipse
the rays of happiness reflected in the ani
mated features of the assembled guests. --
Laughing, talliug and pedestrian excursions
were the order of the day, and when sta
tionai-y, huge cotton umbrellas planted in
the ground served for awnings; yet the silken
ones of. olden days couildn't boast of fairer
fair han peered from beneath some of
them. Nor must the sports of the juvenile e
crowd be omitted, who seemed as much to a
enjoy the occasion as their seniors. Young c
America was seen gliding along the banks of t]
the creek in single file until selecting a spot ti
for the continuation of their sports, shouts of a
merriment were heard from that direction,
which we afterwards learned was provoked
by harmless tricks played on each other, in
makir.g the swift current navigable for boats, 6.
in the shape of shoes, loaded with stockings,
and in seeing the owners take to heel to cap.
ture the fast-sailing truants. A fish basket O
was also captured by the young detectives, but
no one was elated, in anticipation of a fish
stew, for two unfortunates of the minnow
tribe were the only occupants. Si
At a proper time dinner was announced,
when there was an irregular and general c<
stampede in that direction. Tables would W
have groaned under the rich and palatable
repast, but those were dispensed with, the r
green carpet of Nature serving as a substitute; L
and from the many carcasses of the feathered
tribe scattered around, it was evident that o~
"Ham Bone" wasn't the only one in dem'and' t"
yet it was most satisfactorily handled, and t
no doubt would have been more satisfac- i
torily enjoyed could the cxhiiierating strains
of the popular melody have been heard pre- 0
ceding the mazy cotillion; but being near no 6
house to which we could adjourn for that p
purpose, dancing was dispensed with. How- E
ever, the day passed off very pleasantly, and h<
we hope our fair townswomen left us with
pleasant memories of our rural festivities.

That the shortest possible route between ~
