The Grant Millenum. Significance of the Speech Delivered at Chicago. Washington Dispatch to the New York Sun. Gen. Grant's written speech, de. livered in Chicago, on Wednesday, is of itself significant, but when taken in connection with a letter received here by one of the managers of the third term boom, from one of Grant's most intimate and confidential friends, this carefully prepared speech becomes es pecially significant. In his letter Grant's friend says that in d.e time Grant will let it be known authorita tively that he is at the disposal of the American people; or, in other words, that if nominated by the Republican party he will accept. At the same time, it is asserted that Grant will not be a sectional candidate. He expects support from the South, and if elected President he will not be a sectional President. He is to play the role of the great conciliator. This, his Pres idential managers think, will be most appropriate. They argue that, after the election of 1880, the people of the North will be heartily tired of the sectional issue, and that the South will be prefectly willing to abandon its preierence for Democratic doctrines and States rights theories and go in with a will for a great nation, a strong government and plenty of spoils. They say that Grant, haviog been out of this country, is not responsible for the present sectional attitude of the Re publican party. He is not going to remain in the country this winter, but will go to Cuba and Mexico, and will not return to the United States until next spring. Then he will land at New Orleans and make a tour through the Southern States. According to the scheme so careful ly matured, Grant will not be a can didate in the ordinary sense of the term.-The nomination, in other words, is to be thrust upon him, and he will accept in a way that, while it will not alienate the Republicans, will make hirr many votes in the South. His tour through the South next spring is to pave the way for this part of the programme. I happen to know that this scheme will be rauch more acceptable to a greater number of Sonthern Democrats than is generally supposed to be possible. A conspicu ous Democratic Congressman from a Southern State, who was a distinguish ed general in the rebel army, told me not long ago that he was thrown into close connection with Grant at the close of the electoral count in the spring of 1877, and in this interview his preconceived opinion of Grant was entirely changed. He was satis fied, he said, that the Southern lead era had made a great mistake in keep ing aloof from Grant during his eight years' reign at the White House. If they had made the effort they could have had his confidence and his friendship. Another time, if the chance offered, he trusted they would not make the same mistake.

Meeting of the State Press Asso eiation. From the Columbia Register. CorUMB1A, 5.0C., Nov. 14, 1879. Pursuant to the call of the Pres-1 ident, the South Carolina State Press Association met to-day in the office of The Columbia Register, with Presi dent T. B. Crews, of the Laurensville Herald, in the chair. The President ] stated the object of the meeting was to consider an invitation from the South Carolina Agricultural Society to attend their fair in Charleston in December, and to appoint an orator to represent the press on that occasion. ] On motion of Mr. T.

There has been for a year or two past a great amount of gush about' good times a coming, returning prosperity, and so on; but it has not been all gush-not by any means. There has been much reason for be lieving so, and more reason to-day than at any time since war. The country is more prosperous, espe cially the Southern States. Many causes have brought about this state of things. Just after the war we were thrown into strange and un tried conditions of life. Everything was new to us, and we had to learn in that dearest but most thorough of all schools-experience. A large portion of our property was gone; labor was disorganized; the iron heel of the oppressor was upon us. A people of less courage and forti tude would have given up in despair. Not so with the people of the South; they accepted the situation without a murmur; they set to work man fully to restore their broken for tunes; they adapted themselves as well as possible to the changed con dikion of things; they exercised the strictest self-denial and economy. And now they are beginning to reap their reward. On every hand we see signs of solid and substantial prosperity. No where is this pros perity so marked as among our farm ing population-.the basis of all pros perity. Those who have attended our State Fairs for several years past know that this is true. Seven or ight years ago a fine horse or mule was the exception-they were near y all scrubs ; the field crop sam ples were only ordinary and very limited in variety ; the cattle was >f the common stocks ; the hogs were mostly of the breed known as "razor backs", with here and there in Essex or a Berkshire. At our ate State Fair were seen large num bers of cattle, horses and swine, of he finest imported breeds, that peo ple would have stared and wondered at six or eight years ago as they would at the animals in a menage cie, they were so rare. In the field 3rop department the improvement was equally striking. And there were many samples of farm pro lucts in this department that were >arely known by name to our far ners a few years ago, but which tre now cultivated extensively and] vith profit-upland rice, jute, ramie, ucerne, timothy, chufa, etc. We have mentioned some of the ~auses that have operated to bringi bout this improved state of affairs ;I here is another still which we be ieve has had no small part in it,. nd that is the Grange organization. :t has been instrumental in dissem nating general knowledge amongi he farmers ; the young and the nexperienced farmer comes in con- ) act with and learns the methods of is older and more experienced 'rethren. A general interchange >f opinions, experiments and results annot fail to be of great benefit to 11. And then this organization as given the farmer a higher esti late of and a greater pride in his alling. If the Grange will con inue, as it has heretofore done, to gnore politics it will accomplish till greater things. We have a fine country, an indus rious and energetic people, good >cal governments, and we have dapted ourselves to our altered1 ircumstances. In a few years, at1 heir present rate of progress, outhern farmers will be indepen ent of Western corn fields and heat fields, independent of liens C aid "crapping mortgages"; they 1 ill own their cotton after they iake it, and can compel the buyers > give them a fair price for it, or j iey can spin it themselves by the & Dement Attachment," a notice of a hich may be found in another col' t< DIn. c The future is full of promise to e e farmers of the South, and, con qunl,t h woeSuhr qupenty for the proe outher resoplea;nfo the prosperity of thelb r eanspte. poprtyo l s mb;ne nonn1 The Homestead. The General Assembly of South Caroli,na. meets to day. Tere is one matter that urges itself upon the consideration of the members and dernanIs iiniediate aeti.n: that is the (mstion of homestead exemption. lt is well known that the Constitution exempts to a debt or one thousand dollars worth of real estate as a homestead, and five hundred dollars worth of personal property, "for the more perfect en joyment of said homestead." In addition to the real estate so ex empt thie Constitution exempts to the owner of such homestead the crops of every kind raised upon it. That is a very liberal provision. Whether it is a good law we shall not stop to enquire. But if a debt or owns no real estate whatever crops he may raise upon rented land or by working on shares or in any other way, may all be taken and sold for the payment of his debts, leaving him utterly destitute of the necessaries of life. The in justice of such a law is too appa rent to need proof. We do not say there is any injustice in making a man pay his debts; but it is unjust and unreasonable that there should be this discrimination in favor of the landowner. For instance: A is the owner of a homestead worth $1,000; he owes money; he raises crops upon his homestead, and his creditors cannot touch them; B owns no laud; he owes money; he rents a piece of land, or he works somebody's land for part of the crop, and his creditors come in and take everything he makes. This law was made by the Radicals, and the Democrats are not responsible for its existence; but if they do no thing to remedy the evil they will virtually ratify it, and will become responsible for its continuance. It is the duty of the Legislature. not only to make good laws but it is equally its duty to unmake bad ones. The surest way to remedy the injustice of the homestead law is, for the present Legislature to propose a suitable amendment to the Constitution, to be voted upon at the general election in 1880 ; if a majority of the voters vote for. the amendment it can be ratified and become law at the session fol lowing. There is no doubt the people would vote for a suitable amendment.; the non landowners from a sense of self interest, and the landowners from a seuse of justice. JournIalistic Enterprise. The proprietors of the Charles ton iVews and Courier offer another $100 in gold for the best serial sto ry, with no restriction as to sub jects, and $25 for the best original story for children of six or seven years of age. The serial story is to contain not less than 20 chapters, averaging 10 pages of foolscap to the chapter ; the children's story to eontain 5chapters-the manuscripts to be sent in not later than the last flay of February, 1880. The same person can contend for both or either of the prizes. The success aul stories are to be the property of ~he proprietors and to be published n the Weekly News; the others to e returned to their authors unless ?urchased by the proprietors of the Yews and Courier. This journal is doing much to vard encouraging and developing he literary tastes and talents of south Carolina, and we hope it will -eap its reward in increased patron ege and prosperity. L'he Grand Industrial Exhibi tion Of the South Carolina Agricultu al Society .will be op)ened in Char eston the 3d day of December and vill continue ten days. This Exhi >iti' . promises to- surpass any here ofore held. Military Hall will be ised for the exhibition, and an im nense wooden shed has been erect d adjoining the Hall where ma hinery, agricultural implements ,nd other heavy articles will be ex tibited. The entire exhibition will >e illuminated with the electric ight. The railroads throughout he State will give cheap rates to isitors, and the attendance will no oubt be very large. There is noI etter time to visit Charleston. The Laurensville Hierald. Our esteemed cotemporary the lerald with the last number en ared upon its thirty-fourth volume, ad under auspices cheering alike > its worthy editors and its appre lative readers. We congratulate litors and readers that as the erald increases in years it grows tvigor and usefulness and looks t etter to-day than it did ten years c o. The promise is made that itC ill be enloaroAe The Sunday News. The proprietors of the Charleston News and Courier have begun the publication of a Sunday paper call ed the Sunday News. It will not be connected in any way with the lNews and Courier. While it will contain the latest telegraphic news of all sorts, political discussion will not be admitted into its columns. The Greenville Daily Has succeeded the Greenville News. It is published by P. H. Reilly, a man of some experience in newspaper business, and starts off under promising auspices. Green ville and the general reading public ought to sustain a good daily in the "Mountain City," and we wish success to the new venture. Judge Kershaw not a Candi date. Judge Kershaw's name having been mentioned in several newspa pers of the State in connection with the Governorship, he has requested the Columbia Register to announce that duties and obligations of an imperative personal nature absolute ly forbid his candidacy. The Rev. R. P. Franks, formerly stationed here, has purchased a valuable plantation from Mr. Henry Latimer, of Abbeville, for $6,000. Mrs. Franks recently fell heir to $10,000 by the death of a rich rela tion; this has also be6n invested in .real estate. The friends of the family will be glad to hear of their good fortune. The Johnston Monitor. The Johnston .onitor has en tered upon its third year, and Bro. McLenna has consequently cut all of his teeth. We have never had the pleasure of seeing him, but learn that he is not only good look ing but a real clever fellow. Suc cess to him and the Monitor. Memphis already presents an ac tive and business appearance. There were eight thousand six hundred* and twenty-seven bales of cotton received in that city the 17th inst.; the largest receipt within the histo ry of the city. One of the finest things on ex hibition at the State Fair- was the life- size portrait of Senator Jno. B. Gordon, of Georgia, painted and presented to South Carolina by Mr. Albert Gunery. It is a splendid work of art. 1t is now said that Mrs. Adams, who murdered her five children in Lancaster, and who afterwards set fire to her clothes and destroyed her-self, committed the horrible deed with a hatchet. Hon. W. G. Smith, member of the House of Representatives from Colleton, died the 15th instant. George Gary, colored, was hang ed at Beaufort Friday for mur-der. FOR THE HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON. D. C., Nov. 19, 1879. In the New York Tribune, if in any journal, 1 should look for preju diced accounts of Southern affairs. Letters giving a bad account of South. era civilization ,have constantly ap peared in that paper. But such over whelming proof has been brought to the attention of the Editor in one case, that he speaks plainly of matters, and says previous statements of bulldozing, &c,are false. He says: "There are many Northern men settled in these mountains who have gone there since the war. It is from them we have received the most earnest protests against these incorrect statements. They write that no sueh outrages ever occurred , that the people are anxious to promote emigration and give a hearty welcome to Northern men if they have capital, skilled Jabor, or en ergy, and care not what are their poli.. bics." Half million bales of cotton as an increase over any other year is a fact specially gratifying to the South, but >f advantage to the whole country. I'he sugar and tobacco crops, also, w'hich, in the main, are of Southern production, are exceptionally large ~his year. The South has a capacity lomost unlimited for the growth of all hese things, and intelligent men are ~apidly taking advantage of the fact. ['here is to-day despite political ne ~essities of the Radical party, which tre damaging the section greatly, a arger and better emigration into the i south than ever before. S The Thomas celebration to.day, is I he Washington event of the genera- i ion since the war. The city will be a rowded. Our own people will turn c ut as they have never before done. e ~he General was born near Washing. ~ who attained prominence in the Fed- I eral army during the late war. Association with leading politicians of the Republican party has brought our Louisiana women to grief. Eliza Pinkston has been arrested charged with the murder of her husband. I It wnuld be an interesting study for any one having a taste for such inves tigation, to trace the moral nature of this poor woman from contnet with people like John Sherman, Madison Wells, and others who Stole the vote of Louisiana from Mr Tilden. Their respousibility for the murder of Mr Piikston-if that was the name of Mrs. Pinkston's late husband-is not such as the written law has provided for, but the woman's fate should and will be a warning to every one else. Evil communications corrupt good morals, and have done so since the beginning of time. The time is com ing when every man connected with the steal of 1876, except possibly Mr. Sherman-will be ashamed of the part he had in the theft. It is pretty certain that Gen. Gar field will be the next Senator from Ohio. And if we must have a Re publican, every body here will rejoice, for lie is a worthy and popular man. DEM. FOR THE HERALD. Mountain Gossip. No. 1. MESSRS. EDITORS: Your admiring readers are scattered over a choice part of South Carolina and know very little about moun tains, and perhaps care as little as they know. But persons after being educated to it are really more or less fond of them. Into the bargain they are said to conduce to the Muses. I came to the mountains after the war, not expecting to write much poetry, nor yet to recover my fifteen emancipated negraes; for I heard that they had been met amorphosed into citizens. But amid the general losses I had retained a smart little stock of self respect and self reliance, and came here partly to cool off, and partly .o start life upon a different key. I concluded. without any very great research, that if my sons were ever edueated, it was plain that the elementary part had better be taken at the plow handles. From the Virginia line, in a Southwest di rection to Georgia, is 200 square miles of the most romantic country ttiat the beaming sun looks down upon. And these frightful undulations of soil, and rock, and trees, and streams, are interspersed with a thrifty, steady population, who enjoy more of human life than any people in the world. They en joy big cribs of corn, fine beef and nice ap ples, as I never saw others do. And it is as tonishing to see what general improvements have been made since the war: Manufac tures, Colleges and Rail Roads have all come in for their share in cultivating and improv ing the population and the country. And as Rail Roads approach completion your people will want to know more and more of th is section. In fact, they are natural feeders, one of the other. And if Charleston only knew it there are millions in these mountains for her. Newberry has richer lands, but we have better timber. You can raise more cot ton and sweet potatoes, but we can raise more clover and buff apples. You have balmier winters, but we have the finest sum mers known anywhere this side of Italy. When our Roads are done we will exchange many commodities with your people, and many of your people, who are rich compared with ours, will spend their summers here, smacking their mouths .over our sparkling springs, and mountain beef, and luscious fruits. Judge O'Neall, Gen. Kinard, Isaac Herbert, Robt. Gilliamn, and many others that I used to know when Newberry Village had only three hundred and fifty inhattitants, are gone, but their relatives and friends are yet there. I want to tell you how I engaged in this Seed Enterprise of mine. I had to work, be cause my servants had been turned into "citizens."~ I knew of no such enterprise in all this "land of Dixie;" and I was sure from common sense that acclimated seeds would do better than seeds raised in a diffe rent latitude, and transported hundreds of miles. I knew into the bargain that we had already sent too much money North for th ings that might be afforded at home, and the money retarined. I had heard all my life, (being a native of that dear little State S. 0.) that Buncombe grown cabbage seed were the best that could be had. I began against re monstrauces of friends, without means, (my money lost by the war, and selling goods on a credit,) and I am thankful to say, that my success, has been very encouragi.ng. Es pecially have the fair ones of these sunny States, clamored for "Home Industry" from Virginia to the Gulf. 1 am nowv entering upon the third year of my Enterprise; and, with the help and smiles of the dear unsub dued women of the South, and the influence of such men as Gen. LeDuc, Gov. Vance, Bishop Wightman, Dr. Haygood, of Ga., Judge Tucker, of Fla., and many others, IE feel very hopeful. I am now packing in plain boxes, (can't spare the means to make mahogony, or even walnut) but glad to think that I send to people who know that seeds ! sent out in an unpainted box, will do as well, as sent in any other kind. Messrs. Editors, I know you will not think that I am lugging my: business into notice, to save the usual ex pense of advertising; for elsewhere in your paper is my card. But I want to say, that if ever these States of ours have the pros perity they ought to have, we must make and do all we can at home.2 Respectfully, &c-. J. W. VANDIVER. Weaverville, N. C., Nov. 20th, 1879. FoR THE HERALD. New York Fashions. Bonnets and Hats-Evening and Bridal Cos tumes-Pashions in Furs. ti BONNETS AND HATS. Just think of an owl's head-not a t1 little one either-being perched on a bonnet-the great eyes staring at you. Yet this is what I have seen at more than one fashionable milliner's. As for bugs, if I were to tell you the number I saw on one bonnet, you would never believe me. Who could believe that more than one hundredJ were gathered together ; old and young, big and little. But there they were, not only large as life, but guite as natural, inasmuch as they were real, genuine Brazillian bugs. _ Among young ladies there is such a rage for the Derby hat, that it is re ~reshing to see anything else. The ashionable style is in felt, having imply a band and either with or ithout a wing. They are economi al enough, since $1.50 will buy aM ice one with wing. Then again here are saucy looking felts having al wide brims, and these when bond of vith some bright colored silk trimmed ~ vith the same and finished by a or _ig are jaunty and e->quettish as p~ ossible. Turbans are quite fash- f* onable; somuetimes beingQ maide with W otconan byteadto ofgr oftirown strngs by the itnsfoed pair bonnetriand worn by tratrons. -t ont n wr ymtos L charming bonnet was worn the - ther day by Mine. IValieria as she ame in from driving. It was of ark green Latin antique, lightene by es ~r1h~ pose in an easy chair, whn leisure was fforded for a survey of her dress, which was a Hortensia costume of green striped velvet made with untrimmed lower skirt and panier polonaise of green and gold brocade. She has won Lreatly upon the New York publie and is now as we all know, a great favorite. I will add that not Valleria :nly, but all the other leading mem bers of Mapleson's company are using the Weber piano. BRIDAL AND EVENING COSTUMES. White satin is the leading material for a bridal costume. An elegant one recently worn by a wealthy bride, was of white satin made with long, square train, panier drapery extending from the plaited front ; square necked basque and elbow sleeves. It was finished with white jet passementerie and embroidered illusion. A bouquet of orange blossoms and white crushed roses was placed on the left side of the corsage from which a spray of birds extended half way around the neck. The veil of illusion falling over the face was attached by orange blossoms and white crushed roses. The four brides-maids wore dresses of white il lusion over white silk made demi train. The corsage square necked basques, sleeves of illusion and silk reaching to the wrist. Two were fin ished with sprays of blue flowers and two with pink. On evening toilettes in general, flowers if used are dis posed in bouquets or small sprays, and th1, to the disadvantege of garlands. But the introduction of gaily colored brocades and embroidered silks bas greatly interfered with the employ ment of flowers. Hand embroidered satinq,, silks and velvets are indeed among the choicest novelties of the season, and are combined with plain aaterial of like character. Some times the embroidery covers the sur face so closely that it is scarcely to be seen, and as may be supposed, op portunity is often given for a display )f the richest colors. Prices run up to $50 the yard. FASHIONS IN FURS. Sets of Tiger cat and leopard skin in the natural colors ar- Poticeable nov alties and they are very pretty. Pret ty because they are in keeping with the present abandon in the way of -olor, and also because they are so very differeut from what we have been iccustoned to. Prices too are mod arate, since a mul may be bought for $15. I don't say anything about boas, ror as it happens, boas are not the thing just now. The rage for silk :lhans trimmed with fur has almost 3riven out any thing around the neck, but if anything is desired it should be in echaipe, a sort of long fur scarf. Little fur bags are exceedingly can aing and of course are worn attached it the side. A pretty set of Tiger cat was worn the other day by Miss Vanderbilt-echaipe, muff and bag. Hecr costume was the new Clelia Skirt and Rornelia paletot of mixed cloth. For in door wear the Marquise Wrap per is stylish, being three fourths :ight and having a paniar effect, given bya cut away jacket.
