Postmaster-General Key has con Crime Decreased Under Hamp ton. The Editors of the Charleston News and Courier a short while ago addressed a note to the eight Cir cuit Judges, requesting them to state "whether there has been since the installation of Governor Hamp ton, a diminution in the number and degree of crimes committed in South Carolina, especially of crimes committed by whites against col ored persons." Judge B. C. Press ley, of the 1st Circuit, since Hamp ton's installation, has held Court in Sumter, Clarendon, Williams burg, Georgetown, Chesterfield, Marlboro, Darlington, Marion and Horry, and "finds the criminal dockets very much lighter than they had been." Only one of the cases was an offense against a colored person by a white person. Judge A. P. Aldrich, of the 2nd Circuil, has held Courts in Ches terfield, Marion, Darlington, Marl boro, Horry, Kershaw, Edgefield, Lexington and Richland. He says where one offense has been com mitted by a white man against a negro there are ten offenses by ne groes against whites. He likewise testifies to a diminution of crime. Judge Slaw, of the 3d Circuit, was ill, and unable to respond to the inquiries. Judge Hudson, of the 4th Cir cuit, has held Court in York, Lan caster, Chester, Fairfield, Newberry, Laurens, Union and Spartanburg. The offenses committed were most ly of colored persons against whites. A single instance of crime or vio lence by a white against a black at Winnsboro a white man killed a negro in self-defense. In the four Counties last named the dockets were "astonishingly small." There is a marked diminution of crime since Gov. Hampton's installation. Judge Kershaw, of the 5th Cir cuit, says a great diminution of crime has taken place since the in stallation of Gov. Hampton. In the Counties of Oconee, Abbeville, Pickens and Anderson, where he recently held Court, there were but five criminal cases, and not one of -the cases on the whole Circuit (the 8th) involved a breach of the peace on the part of a white man against -a colored man. Judge T. J. Mackey, of the 6th Circuit, reports that in his Circuit, ,with a population of 100,000, "not one negro has lost his life at the hands of a white man during the past nineteen months, while during that period there have been but three homicides." He bears the same testimony to the marked diminution of crime since Gov. Hampton's installation. Judge W. H. Wallace, of the 7th Circuit, says that since the installa tion of Gov. Hampton there has been a most marked decrease in the number and degree of crimes in South Carolina. Judge Thomas Thomson, of the 8th Circuit, does not remember a case of violence by a white man upon a colored person. Crime has greatly diminished. The Newos and Courier adds the following: To sum up, only two cases of "crimes committed by white persons against colored per sons" since the installation of Gov. Hampton have come to the know ledge of the Circuit Judges, and in one of these cases the act was com mitted in self-defense. There is a diminution every where in the nrm ber and degree of crimes, and the confidence of the colored people is shown by their preference for white jurors, a confidence justified by the leniency with which colored offend ers have been treated. With this exhibit before the public we assert, without the possibility of success ful contradiction, that the Demo cratic party has protected the per sons, rights and property of all the people. More than this, the assur ance that crime will be punished has prevented persons from taking the law into their own hands, and has exercised a salutary effect upon the criminal classes. South Caro lina, under Democratic rule, is as peaceful as any State i: the Union, North or South, and in no State is life or property better guarded or more safe. The Editors of the .Vewos and Courier also interviewed the Solicit ors of the State, whose testimony coincides with that furnished by the Judges. The Solicitor of this, the 7th Circuit, says : Generally in this Circuit crime has largely de creased since the inauguration of Democratic jurisdiction, say eighty per centum. There was a large number of convictions in 1877 for offences committed previously,chief ly for larceny, burglary and arson. I. I I sault or homicide between parties of the two races, and a case of out rage by a white man upon a negro I cannot recall since the inaugura tion of Governor Hampton. Per fect accord seems to obtain between them. * * * The expenses of the Courts of General Sessions have largely decreased, and invariably in 1878 the grand juries have been discharged on the second day of the term, whereas in 1877 they were detained for the greater part of the week investigating the crim inal charges. The Sumter Vatchman urges the Democracy of Somuter County to send Westberry, one of the Fe publicans who went over to the "Wallace House," back to the Legis lature, as a-reward for his conduct; and the Beaufort Tribune asks, "would it not be well for the Dem ocracy of Beaufort and Hampton to do likewise with Hamilton and Myers, (both colored Republicans) who are equally deserving of re ward ?" Stmter and Beaufort can run their own machine; but thatis very strange talk from Democratic newspapers. For one good deed they would reward Republican ne groes with office, while there are hundreds of white Democrats in the Counties whose whole lives have been square, honorable an,11 upright, and who would better represent regenerated South Carolina. The Yellow Fever Raging. NEw ORmxs, Aug. 31.-To-day's report is 234 new cases and 48 deaths. Total number of cases 2, 877, deaths 867. Sep. 1.-260 new cases, 88 deaths.

The reports from other quarters show there is no abatement. state News. Seventy penitentiary convicts are building a railroad from Trenton (formerly Pine House,) to Edgefield Court House. It is said that there will be a straight Republican ticket run in Richland for the Legislature, with Elliott at the head. The Democratic mechanics and other wor2'ng men of Columbia have held a meeting and demanded representat~ n in the Legislature and the County offices. The following Legislative ticket has been nominated in Union Coun ty : For the Senate, Thos. B. Jeter. For the House, 1E. W. Shand, J. C. Richards and L G. McKissick.

ED1TORs': We, down here in Poverty Flat, have had rain every day for a week. All our young bot tom corn is drowned, and there was a good acreage planted ; the young corn on upland is good.

C., August 28, 1878. Mr. Blaine is an .ingenious person. lie has figured out a nomination in 1880. His friends have heretofore ;tated that he did not expect to be a 3andidate at that time, but they say othing of the kind now. The Sena tor is doing what he can to push the rant movement, believing that no man can be nominated for a third term. Let us suppose the Republican Convention of 1880 near at hand, and Grant the principal figure. Blaine, by right of his large vote in the Con vention of 1876, and of his constant prominence in affairs, can be brought forward at any momen't. If Blaine's belief as to a third term nomination is correct the nomination will almost certainly fall to him. No unknown person will be taken while Hayes is remembered. No soldier is available. To nominate any tried politician over Blaine would be madness. Hereafter we may expect the Blaine press to look kindly upon the Grant movement, and to keep that impossible candidate prominently before the people for a year more at least. Secretary Sherman made a speech in Ohio yesterday in answer to Senator Thurman. He is a politician and only a politician, while Thurman is much more than a politician. If there are any flies on the barn door of the great Senator, Sherman will see them, but to the door itself or rich harvest within, he will be as blind as Bartimeus. His vision is not of the kind that perceives such things, and the day of miracles is past. The New York Rmes says the original Sherman letter to Weber and Anderson, which has been more lied about than the number of trout caught by the senior Senator from Maine, is in the possession of the Potter Com mittee. Weber swoi-e that it was de stroyed. Mrs. Jenks secured a place in the New Orleans Custom House by swearing that she dictated it to a man now dead-not morally and politically dead, like Sherman himself, but phy sically dead. Sherman swore at first that he didn't know whether he wrote it or not, but, after Mrs. Jenks told her story, swore plumply that he did not write it. One member of' Con gress swore he had often seen it, and thought it was in Sherman's hand writing. Nearly everybody that hgs testified has had something to say about it. The Committee, which will not meet again probably for some time, should have told us whether they really have the document or not. It is an important one. I have not been able to figure out all the predicted Democratic gains of Congressmen, though there is almost an absolute certainty of gain over the present majority in the House of Rep resentatives. Those, I should say, must be false prophets who say that the Republican delegation will be in terfered with in Maine, or that there will be gains in Massachusetts, or that we shall carry the few Republican dis tricts in the South without some losses in that section. But there will un questionably be gains in the West, and probably in New York. Reports from the West received here are spe ially encouraging. There has just been handed me a written, statement that Secretary of the Senate Gorhamn, who, with Hale of Maine, runs the Republican Con gressional Committee, is.guil ty of a disreputable triek in expending the money of the Committee. It is to the effect that, upon being selected to manage the Comnmitteo's affairs, he bought for himself an interest in the National Republican newspaper here and is having all the Committee's printing done there at absurdly high prices. The amount of the printing is enormous and Gorham's profits cor respondingly large. If the story is true it would seem that the stalwarts have hardly a higher sense of what is honest than the civil service reform ing Administration itself. It is fur ther said that the Democratic Post of this city was kept from exposing this little arrangement only by receiving quite an amount of the same work at profitable prices. 80DON.

EDITORS: The events A which have transpired within the last ten (lays, should admonish every lover or pace and of good order, to pause an(i be careful ere they permit their feelings to be led captive by the glaw our of popular delusion, or sacrifice high and noble duties for selfish pur- h poses. The occurrences which took place ( at the late meeting of the Convention were disgraceful. A decent respeet to the high and solemn duty which should have animated the breasts of the delegates was lost sight of; and a determination to carry out certain s measures was, I am assured, the sole i cause of the difficulty. Now, I am a plain man, one unused to the chicanery of politics, but while pursuing the even tenor of my way, not only possess myself with all the current events of the day, but seek in formation of all matters calculated to promote the welfaie of the County. e Without intending any disparage! ment to Mr. Suber, or to Mr. John stone, allow we, Messrs. Editors, to put a few simple questions to the mem bers of the Convention. Is there such a paucity of pure, noble and talented men in the County that none other g can be found than these two gentle men? Is the whole County to be kept in trouble, turmoil and ill feeling because a clique or faction should pre fer the one or the other? Is it by no means certain-can it possibly be that we cannot find in the entire length and breadth of Newberry County, men worthy of being sent to the Legis lature, without dividing the Democra cy-and thus giving the Republicans 1 a chance, who are now gloating over our dissensions, and "feeding fat the ancient grudge they bear us"-which will certainly be the case, should either Mr. Suber or Mr. Johnstone be nom inated. Messrs. Editors. I am an old Demo crat of the Jeffersonian school, and I do hope some regard may be paid to my admonition- I, therefore, respect. fully suggest that the Conv*tion which meets wn the 11th inst., reject both Messrs. Suber and Johnstone. This can be effected without any diffi culty as we have material sufficient from which to make a selection. There foe, for the sake of peace and harmo ny, and that the Democratic party may not suffer by divisions, but be preserved intact, I respectfully sug gest to the Convention the names of -. ---,---, and - - as fit and proper persons to represent the IDemocracy of the County in the coming Legislature. [According to our invariable rule, we are compelled to omit the names of all nominees when not made in the prescribed way -by advertisement.---Ds.] I need not again express the hope that the delegates will bear in mind that they have been appointed to make such selections as will benefit the Dem oratic party; and that they will~ not jeopardize its success by carrying out their own wishes and partidlities. When high and public trusts are delegated, it becomes a solemn and moral duty in the trustees to carry them out in good faith and in due re gard to the power entrusted-for if the cause, the interest and trust is insi diously betrayed or wantonly trifled away, the people have a right to revoke the authority that they themselves have deputed, and to constitute other better agents and trustees. Let the1 delegates do their duty and our Coun ty will be safe. I trust that they will remember the proud period of our past contests, when the banner of our party waved tri umphant, and they will particularly bear in recollection that these glorious results were principally produced by unanimity. Let them not-be unmind ful of these truths-then when the war-note shall be sounded we will go to the battle-field in the plenitude of our strength, assured of a just and noble victory. A FARMER. Can the Truth Overtake a Lie ? Investigation discloses the fact that the lady reported in the Associated Press dispatches, about Aug. 10th, to have died in Chicag& after two weeks' use of some reputed remedy for corpulency, had not taken Allan's Anti-Fat, but had used a preparation put up by a regular physician in Luzerne, Pa. Allan's Anti-Fat is manufactured in Buffalo, N. Y., by - the undersigned. We have already sold over 100,000 bottles of it. It4 has therefore been taken by thou sands, and we challenge proof that i4t has ever harmed any body, unless the reduction of obese persons from 20 to I 60 pounds, leaving them healthy and I strong, is considered a misfortune. Furthermore, we hereby offer $5,000 reward for evidence showing that it contains poisonous or injurious ingre dients. We also offer $5,000 if we cannot prove that it has reduced num bers of persons as stated herein, and t and always without injury. It is said a lie will outtravel the truth any, time; but we trust that those news- n papers that have misled the public by saying that physicians attributed the lady's death to the used of Anti.
