Brief Mentions. The New York Liberal Republicans have issued a summons for a State' Convention on September 22. Oppo sition to the Third Term, the Canal Ring, and soft money, is set forth in the call, and the co-operation of Inde pendent voters is solicited. The average majority on the Demo cratic State ticket in Kentucky is con siderably over 40,000, or from 5,000 to 10,000 ereater than Leslie's majori ty in 187f. The Legislature stands Democrats 90, Republicans 10-a Democratic gain of ten members. New Orleans prospects are said to be decidedly picking up on the strength of the cotton aud political outlook. Many noted citizens, who fled from its tyrannical carpet-bag rule, are return ing to resume their old places, and help to build up the general prosperity again. They havo an imitator of Jesse Poineroy in San Francisco. He is but ten years of age, abd has already developed a dispositian to torture young children and animals. He skinned a dog alive, and inveigling a child three years old into a barn, cut off its right ear with a bone, and in flicted nineteen other wounds upon it. He has been lodged in the industrial school. The New Orleans Picayune, of Tuesday last, closes a review of the crop prospect in Louisiana thus: "It seems to be a perfectly fair presump tion that the hopes which have been built on the crop of 1875 in Louisiana will, with very few exceptions, be fully realized. We do not believe in encouraging exaggerated ideas and fos tering expectations that can never be gratified; but it is equilly unwise and certainly much more dishonest to take the opposite extreme. We think we are doing neither when we say that the splendid -promises of 'the spring are abundantly reiterated now on the very eve of harvest time." A Grange meeting took place at Erwin's Mills, on the Saluda, six miles east of Honea Path, on Wednesday last. It was addressed by Col. J. N. Lipscomb, State lecturer. Twenty five hundred persons were present, in cluding a lArge number of ladies. A subscription of $35,000 was made to build a cotton factory at that place, the capital stock of which has been fixed at $50,000. The fine water power is presented to the company by the liberal owner, Mr. Erwin. The prospects of getting this factory into operation at an early day are quite good. Shares are fixed at $25, and may be taken by others thaan those who are members of the order of the Grange. The enterprise is not limited to the Grange, but is projected under its auspices. A Georgia girl gives the following reasons why she kicks the boys, and they are good ones. And when all the girls go on this schedule, we will have fewer cases of vagabonds marry ing good w6men. A man who will marry a woman and make no effort to support her, ought to be hung to the lamp-post : "The reason the boys are kicked," says she, "is because so many of them have 'kicked' out of the plow handles, laid by the shovel and the hoe and are trying to make inferior doctors, law yers, preachers and school teaghers, and others sit under shade trees in lordly style and squirt tobacco juice freely, but absolutely do nothing use ful. Go to work honestly," says this irate maiden, "and you will not only have no cause to complain of being 'kicked ;' but many find worthy wives who will make you h alp-meets for your benefit, and who will seek to make you happy." How THE BANK oF CALIFORNIA WAS SM A sH E D.-George Alfred Townsend contributes another chapter to the history of mining speculations in California, describing the Bank of Nevada, which is to rise on the ruins of the Bank of California, and is to be the property of Flood and O'Brien and Fair and Mackay. They are all Irish, and Flood and O'Brien were, .a few years ago, a sort of Delmonico to the operators on California street, keeping the liquor and lunch, place there. They caught the air and secrets of the patrons of the house, and tried mining speculative stocks a little. As they increased they got an engineer to look about the Comstock lode for them and pick up a mine supposed to be worn out called the "Hale and Nor cross." This they soon developed in to a new source of actual wealth. They paid for it seventy cents per share when the whole number of shares afloat was only five thousand. As they brought out the bullion they watered the stock and it went up hun dreds per cent. Then they built crushing mills and began to feel under their shafts to the west mine. There they discovered a real bonanza, for in these mining ventures there is a reality as well as a romance, and while the proprietors of the mine were asleep or ignorant, these miners picked up their stock and began to take $1,600,000 a month of bullion out of this new acquisition. The stock, of course, was watered and went skyward. Only four men ownea all this wealth. Thus, mining bullion at the rate of $20, 000,000 per annum, these parvenues became a power beside or against the Bank of California. But Ralston and Sharon owned half the crushing nmills and the railroad at Virginia City. The Flcod and O'Brien crowd began to build other mills and to compete for the greatest mines and the bank's monopolies as well. A struggle en sued, which resulted in the choosing of a compromise directory. They had undoubted genuine bullion wealth. They proposed to Ralston's party t:> step down and out and let them be come the Bank of California. Of course Ralston refused ; whereupon Flood and O'Brien and the rest imn mediately organized the Bank of Ne vada, with five millions of paid-up capital in sold. The ilerald. THOS. F. GRENEKER, EDITOR. NEWBERRY, S. C. WEDNESDAY, SEP. 15, 1875. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect aFam ly Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests 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. Acknowledgment. We feel under deep obligation to C. G. Jaeger, Esq., for the valuable aid afforded us in the editorial diree tion of this paper during our late ab sences from our post, and we feel as sured that the reader has recognized in his efforts an able and masterly hand. Mr. Jaeger is an accomplished gentleman and a fluent, vigorous wri ter, and one whom we would always like as a helper, and as he has thus,. shown what he can do, it is hoped that he will continue not only to help us out of the brush in the future, but to lend valuable aid in advancing the interests of the HERALD. We tender him our warmest thanks. Charleston--Annual Trade RV view. An interesting trade review fur nished us from the Commission house of J. H. Parker & Co., of that city, shows in a compact yet comprehensive manner the business of our seaport city in the past as well as her prospe ets in the future. The exhibit is indeed cheering, in that while the commercial world has been so rudely shaken, and the largest houses have failed in other cities, this old city and her indomitable merchants have weathered the storm, and to-day look with confidence to a prosperous trade. In cotton, notwith standing-the decrease in crop as com pared with the previous year, the re ceipts have been nearly equal. In rice there -has been an increase, and in naval stores the growth has been steady. In lumber exports, in con sequence of depression in Northern industries, there has been a falling off, but that trade it is confidently expect ed will soon revive. In the various exports of domestics, vegetables, etc., the trade has been remarkably good, considering the times. The impor tance attached to the deepening of Charleston bar, thus affording greater facilities for shipping, is justly con sidered, and though this will occupy time, still an influence for good is created in increased confidence in the determination and ability of her busi ness men to make Charleston what she ought to be. We are pleased to know that the j&bbing business has opened in the liveliest manner, the in terior merchants finding it to their advantage to make their purchases there, and we have no doubt that - a large per cent., if not all the up-coun try trade, might be secured if the pro per steps were taken to attract atten tion. Charleston certainly affords ad. vantages in point of the saving of time and expense, and all that remains to be done on her part is to sell on the same terms as at the North, and for her merchants to advertise extensive ly in the country. Exchanges. The proprietors of the Keowee Courier, Messrs. Thompson & Keith, have sold a one-third interest therein to Mr. D. A. Smith, a practical printer, a gentlemen of good character end first rate ability. We tender the firm our best wishes. Ou Saturday last, after its late sus pension, the Pho nix again made its appearance, the proprietor, Mr. Julian Selby, giving assurance that such ar rangements had been made as will insure its future issue. A circular previously received states that R. Means Davis, Esq., editor of the Fairfield Herald, is in control of the editorial department. Our best wishes are extended to editor and proprietor. A late interview with one of the proprietors of the Columbia Daily Register, afforded us the assurance that the paper is succeeding beyond the most sanguine expectations enter tained at its inception, as its subscrip tion list is increasing largely every ay. Mr. C. P. Pelham, as its editor, mparts to its columns a character which must insure its success. We wish it abundant success. The first copy of -the Charleston Daily Express we find among our ex hanges. The publishers advise the ublic that it is not intended merely s a campaign sheet born to live but or a time, but for all time. It is In. ependent in character and will speak f things as they are. The initial pa-i ev is well put together and of good lize. Terms $8 per year, $4 for six nonths and $2 for three. Address: Epress Publishing Company, Char Leston, S. C. We find with pleasure among our exchanges this week a copy of the Kennesaw Gazette, an eight page quarto on tinted paper, published monthly by B. W. Wrenn, under the auspices of the Passenger Department of the Western & Atlantic Railroad Co.. at Atlanta, Ga., devoted to Rail way interests, Literature, Art and Humor. It is decidedly an interest ing paper, and we commend it not only to the travelling public, but the general reader. The present number -September--contains a well execu ted colored map of the Western & Atlantic Railroad and connections. . Editorial Review. Tho Alabama Constitutional Con vention met September 6th. Gen. L. P. Walker, the first secretary of of the Confederate States, was chosen president by acclamation, Republicans and Democrats all votine for him. A correspondent to the News and Courier writes from Bamberg: "Sixty bales of new cotton were received at this place on the 4th instant. The largest portion of the crop is now open. Owing to the drought, not over a half crop will be made in this vicinity." The disturbances in Mississippi are according to latest accounts all quieted down. It is not known positively how many have been kiiled, but the reports are that a large number of negroes were killed and wounded, also a num ber of whites. The sheriff of Hinds County says that peace prevails. The Greenville News says: The contract was closed yesterday with the Air Line railroad for the transporta tion of 100 car loads of machinery for the Camperdown factory from Lynn, Mass. Three cheers for Camper. down factory! 'Squire McBee is push ing the completion of the mammoth new building. The suggestion of the editor of the Enterprise and Mountaineer that the President of the State Press Asso ciation, Col. Hoyt, call that honorable body together in extra session on the occasion of the Greenville County Agricultural Society Fair, on the 20th of October, is a very pleasant one. Poor devils, they need rest and some kind attention. An example worthy of imitation is afforded by the following: "At a recent meeting of the republican club' of Spartanburg, it was unanimously resolved to make no nominations for the municipal offices to be filled at the en'suing election, but to vote solidly any ticket, by whomsoever nominated, the members of which plcdge them selves not to license any bar-room within the corporate limits of Spar tanburg during their term of office. The Georgetown Times of the 2d instant says : "The rice harvest has fairly commenced, and in a week will be general, except, perhaps, high up the Peedee, where the water may for a few days interfere with the plans of the planters. The harvest has opened propitiously, as the weather is very fine. At the same time myriads of rice birds are making their appearance, which will materially lessen the crop. No one except a sufferer can possibly estimate the damage which they do in their hasty but destructive visits to our rice fields." President D. R. Duncan, of the Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad, says the Spartan, has just returned from a trip to Knoxville, Tennessee, made in the interest of the road. He brings good news from Tennessee, and says the people of Knoxville, and especially the owners of the East Ten nessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad, are alive to their interests, and willing to lend their aid and assistance in the completion of the Spartanburg Road. This will prove interesting to the friends of this important project, and we hope at no distant day to see a road completed which will prove of general advantage to the State.

Edwards Pierrepont, At torney-General of the United States: There are no disturbances in this State, and no obstructions to the exe cution of the laws. There has been an unexpected conflict at a political meeting, and some subsequent dis. turbance, but everything is quiet now. The Governor's call for United States troops does not even pretend that there is any insurrection against the State government, as required by the revision of the United States statutes of 1875, pages 10 to 34. Peace pre vails throughout the State, and the employment of United States troops would but increase the distrust of the people in the good faith of the present State government. (Signed) J. H. GEORGE, Chairman Democratic State Execu tive Committee. FOR TEE HERALD. An Interesting Letter from a Lady of Newberry. MR. EDITOR:-The 3rd of August dawned gloomy and threatening. It truly seemed as if "coming events cast their shadows before," for the succeed ing weeks were rainy, indeed. We had looked forward to the time with high hopes, of starting our trip to the moun tains, and remembering that the good old folks used to say, Never put off go ing to market (when the market was fifty or two hundred miles away) for lowering clouds, we prepared to make a start. The beams of the sun being checked by the overshadowing clouds, we were enabled more conscientiously to urge our steed onward, and conse quently eight o'clock found us at Jalapa. We stopped a few moments, and could not but notice what a great advantage the rewelding of it to the G. & C.R. R. had been. Several new stores have been erected and it assumes quite an air of importance. From thence we were "strangers in a strange land.", The scene was new. We had good roads, and passed some fine country residences. Travelling near the railroad most of the time, we had good oppor tunity of seeing how far it had been laid. We passed Clinton, which is a beautiful little village, but it is fast fail ing for want of railway transportation. After passing Clinton, we looked anxiously for Laurens village, as we had a peculiar desire to see it. We must say we were much disappointed. The buildings look dark and old. The pillars at the side of the Court House are covered with earth and weeds, which seem to say, there is little use for law here, or that there are "none who plead for truth or call for justice." The village, too, all seems to be built on worn out hills, and the roads to and from it are over steep hills. A railroad certainly is much needed, and we think the citizens will not draw up their purse strings until it is completed. We went fourteen miles farther on the first eve ning, and put up with an old friend whom we had not seen for years. We spent the night pleasantly and took an early start for Greenville. Eleven o'clock, Wednesday, found us at the hospitable home of Mrs. Joseph Goggans (once a citizen of Newberry, and well known to many of our readers, but who now lives in the city of Green ville.) Here we felt like "casting an chor," and did so. After resting a day or two, we were ready for a ride over the city, and were highly pleased with it. It has many attractive features, such as fine churches, well finished in stitutions for learning, several factories of different kinds doing good business, and many new brick stores in progress. We would like to give a minute descrip tion of everything we saw, especially the scenery on the river, the Univer sity, the Museum, and last though not least, the Cemetery, but it will make our letter too long. The residences are not crowded, and nearly every family have a corn patch, a few rows of cab bage, and some geraniums. So much shrubbery around the doors, and the lawns in front, give a very rural ap pearance to the city. The citizens of Greenville are certainly a social and thrifty people. On the 10th of August, a crowd of us, numbering ten, started to Cmsar's Head. The first part of the road was not at all striking to us, though it was moderately good, but after we got in sight of the Blue Ridge, every one was shouting, "Look at the mountains!" We traveled near the Saluda for hours, feasting our eyes on the mighty fields of corn that lay stretched out before us, and occasionally we would see a little ut so near the river banks that it looked as if it would need fins when the river rose. This scenery gradually gave way to the more mountainous. We were in the ravine between two monn tains, and fronm behind one we eould see a terrific cloud rising. It still ad vanced, and we made slow progress. We thought it the most sublime sight we had ever seen. It was awfully dark, and the thunder was reverberating mong the mountains for some minutes before the rain began to fall. We drew ur great coats, shawls, oil coverings and hoisted our umbrellas to protect urselves as well as we could, and en oyed the hard shower by vision, not by eeling. The rain having abated, we raveled as brisk as we could up the ones' Gap road to reach the summit of bhe mountain before dark, but in vain, br when we would inquire the distance Lt got no shorter, so we concluded to nia the bes of it and enjoy the scenery. We went on up the Salma River, which rushed over the rocks as if it had been imprisoned in the bosom of the mountain and was making good its escape to the ocean. We cannot de scribe our feelings while looking at those wonderful heaps thrown up by nature, and especially one peak that had a large bald rock for its brow. It is pictured on our minds yet, and we did bate not to see that rock again. The mountains are covered with spruce, ivy and ferns, which truly give them a look of solitude. Night began to unfold her sombre curtain, and we imagined the rugged scenery around us was like "fair Melrose." We hail no "pale moonlight" by which to view it, but late in the evening when the dark hovering clouds were above us and the dreary mountains and morasses around us, it did seem to partake more of those quali ties that thrill the heart of man than when the sun had clothed every tree and flower with his luminous robe. Our feelings seemed in unison with the dis mal evening, and perhaps that was why it was so appreciated. As we were travelling along,earnestly gazing for the way, (for daylight was fast receding,) we spied a "friendly guide. post," but could scarcely spell the letters. We finally concluded it was to Cesar's Head, so on we went, and if our danger was greater than it had been we did not know it, for we could not see the yawn ing chasm on one side, or the awful bank on the other. We reached Cesar's Head about ten o'clock at night. The proprietor, Dr. Miles, said the hotel was full, and we were compelled to crowd into little rooms with few conveniences. Nevertheless, we spent the night and hoped for a fine morning, but to our disappointment everything was envel oped in a dense fog. The scarcity of provender for stock compelled us to go several miles down the -mountain, in the- morning, -before -we could feed. Before leaving C&sar's Head we visited the springs and some few. points, but found the improvements very inferior to what we had expected. About two miles from Cssar's Head we came to "Cold Spring," took a drink, and then the road, hoping for better things. On the mountain a woman was met, who said in an hour's time we would find plenty of corn, so we traveled on as patiently as we could, watching for "the mountain home." In due time we came to a little cot, which we hailed with delight. It was there we met the black-eyed, curly-headed, ''Barefoot boy with cheek of tan, Hleaven bless the little man," for his hospitality to us. "He gave us of his highland cheer" a bucket of good mountain water and a basket of fine apples, and directed us to his grandfather, who in turn directed us to some one else where we could and did get corn and meal. Do not think we speak lightly tf this aged sire and little man. They did the best the cir cumstances allowed, angels could do no more. The little fellow's heart beat nobly beneath his rustic jacket as he gathered us wood, brought us chairs and spoke kindly. We prepared our meal in the simplest manner, and ate it with a relish common to such occasions. We had none left for lunch. After din ner we started down the mountain. We soon came to a toll gate, which made a considerable impression on the crowd. Then we crossed a -beautiful little river on the mountain and passed some nice little cottages. The country began to look like it was inhabited by civilized man, for the farms were well tilled, and the soil well adapted to the growing of corn and apples. Another dark cloud arose before us, and we tried to take shelter, but it was a miserable excuse. The rain poured in torrents for an hour, after which we traveled on to reach the French Broad before night, as we had been told the people were very hospi tably inclined in the valley; but ten of us required rather more hospitality than any one had to spare, so were sent from house to house, until at last we tried to beg for merely a shelter, but in vain. At the last named house we saw a dwarf, said to be three feet one inch high, who numbers three score years, and is as intellectual and lively as many who boast of more bone and muscle. We went from this place to Brevard, Transylvania Co., N. C., and found a first class hotel, with a warm-hearted proprietor. After our night's rest, we, took the road down the river again, and how shall we describe the landscape. It seemed like a fine farm fenced in by a chain of mountains. The blue peaks rising majetclyaround us. The rich fields spread out before us so level, and the French Broad flowing silently on, were some of the most noted fea tures. The corn, clover and turnip fields surpassed anything we had ever seen, while the orchards around the splendid residences were laden with fruit. The stock were in fine order, and living, so far as eating was con cerned, seemed a light matter. We passed some pretty little falls, climbed some little mountains, and arrived at Hendersonville about four o'clock. We put up at the Central Hotel. Our host, Mr. Brittain, spared no pains to make us enjoy ourselves, and we feel grate fl to him for his kindness. We called on one of our friends, looked over the town, and concluded if it was just con nected by railway we would like to live there. We spent the night pleasantly, and in the morning started to Green ville. We passed Flat Rock without seeing anything remarkable, except the toll gate, but in the vicinity are some lovey homes. We stopped at Poinsett's Spring, took a drink, and wondered where we would get our dinner. We traeled on a few miles and found the muhi desired spot at the home of Mr. Hodges. We dined and felt ready to start again, thinking much of Green ville. We drove fast and reached Mrs. Goggans' about eleven o'clock, where we found all ready to welcome us. We then visited some of our friends of earlier days and started to Newberry. We spent two nights with a dear friend in arens, which refreshed us much, and reached home in safety, hoping ere long to take another trip to the moun - ains.

WHEREAS, Almighty God, in his inscruta ble, yet all-wise Providence, has, by death, removed from her sphere of general useful ness, and also dissolved her active connec tion with Ebenezer Grange, our excellent sister, Mrs. F. E. KIBLER: Resolved, That we give expression to our sympathy with her bereaved family, by as sociating our loss with theirs; and humbly acknowledging, that, however severe the affliction, there are consoling lessons in it, which teach us the value of humility and resignation; and that no labor can accom plish any enduring good, unless the laborer keeps constantly in view the inevitable fate of man,-that no work can be profitable for life, which is not, in the main, a preparation for death,-by bowing to the dispensation of God. Resolved, That in token of our sorrow for the death of our sister as well as of respect for her worth, we wear for six months the usual badge of mourning during oar meet ings; and that a page in our record-book be set apart for the inscription of her name, the date of her initiation into Ebenezer Grange, and also the date of her death.
