Mr. Wallace, United 'cs Marshal for South Carolina, appoints thc cputy marshals and Mr. Brayton appoints the pecial force, as it is called, and also the deputy ollcclors.

Tho President d dared that if tho Democrats expect righten him from his position by renewing ho strngglo of last session they will niako iad mistake.

WASHINGTON, Ootobor 14.-Tho Cobinot will havo two savory subjects for considera tion nt this first mooting nftor tho summer vacation. Thoy aro tho oosos of Postmaster Tylor, ot Baltimoro, and of Postmaster Nix, nt Blackville, ?5. C. Tho Nix caso is un doubtedly to bo mado tho basis of aotion which will precipitate a bitter and prolonged political debato in Congross, covering tho whole field of tho Stato sovereignty question. Tho politicians aro working nt tho matter now, and tho toxts for tho speeches aro being framed. Tho first point is to ascertain that tho United .States, under existing Statutes, has no power or authority to procood origi nally against tho persons who aro alleged to havo attempted to assassinate Nix, and that it also has no authority to transfer tho causo from tho Stato to F?deral courts, as by spo oifio statute tho gonornl govornmont has tho right to do in cases of revenuo agents. Members of tho Cabinet insist that if no such right now exists it is limo that thoro was a law giving tho goneral govornmont such powor, and undoubtedly such legislation will bo asked of Congress. Tho spocifio form in which tho request is likely to como is that tho law which gives tho United States such au thority in cases of rovonno agents bo extonded so as to include within its provisions cases of postmasters or of other Federal officers. This, of course, will bo a request for another delegation of powers from tho States to tho general government, and will ncccssai rily involve in it a discussion nut of which n great deal of politics can bo mado. Tho issues involved in tho statute which now gives tho general govornmont tho authority to transfer causes of revenuo agents from Stato tn Federal courts will ho discussed in tho Supt ano Court within two or three weeks. Tho olhor caso which tho Cabinet will lowe to consider is that of Postmaster Tyler, at Baltimore Mr. Tyler was originally an Ohio mau, was in nu Ohio regiment, und is said to have been ii personal friend of tho President, and in such capacity to havo rc? coived bis appointment ns postmaster at Ballimore, a city in which no has been a resi dent for about ten years. Tho charges against Mr. Tyler affect his moral character, and thc testimony taken by special agents is said to bo of a very sensational nature nud tn bo averse to Mr. Tyler. A great deal ol* mystery has been made about this testimony. It is concealed and kept under lock and key awaiting the return of Mr. Hayes. General Tyler has taken tho unusual slop of engaging counsel to aid in preventing his removal. If thc testimony is ever published, those who should know say that it will disclose ono of the greatest scandals ever connected with any administration. Tho Froshot. Tuo.M.oo HOME. October 20, 1879. Me W'S. Editors: On thc night of the 17th instant thc floodgates of heaven became lijar, thc result of which has produced another destructivo freshet in tho Tugaloo River and ami its tributaries. Tho clouds wcro lower ing on Friday night with distant thunder and about 0 o'clock tho rain commonccd falling in torrents, which continuad throughout tho night and at daylight tim river was about ten feet high and continued to risc until Saturday night, rising in ail sixteen or soventoon feet! Tiic damages on tho river havo boon very great, as but few of tho farmers had gathered their corn and much of their best cotton was inundated. Largo quantities of corn, fodder, pumpkins, cotton ami fencing havo been swept away by tho turbulent current (d' ibo (a lew days before.) placid waters of tho Tugaloo, and much ol' tho prosperous valley is now destroyed. Fifteen or twenty pump kins were seen nt ono limo going down ami (ho loss in this part of the crop on thc river has been improportionately large, ns they grew in exposes placod and wcro so easy t i Heat away. Tho damages sustained along tho river aro second to no freshet, except tho great memorable Juno freshet, in my recol lection, coming as it did, like tho June freshet, when least expected. Indeed tho small streams wore higher than in Juno three years ago! Many bridges and mill dams havo nu doubt been washed away. Mr. S M. Craw lord's ginllOUSO was broken and detention ir. ginning at a very urgent time. Mr. K. C. Maret lost two bales of seed cotton by washing from thc open bolls, and in this way all cotton submerged has been principally carried away, especially where ibero was any current. Ropcctfully, Ki Fair Play Locals. Thc Fair Play and Westminster Railroad is still progressing in thc way of receiving subscriptions lo its stock. Capt. Whit, limy les will bo elected Su perintendent of thc bair Play Wheelbarrow Linc. Mr. Cobb, thc soap man, says that thc pcoplo of Virginia live with moro case than tho pcoplo of South Carolina, because tho people of tho latter Stato havo not enough limo to do anything in. "No matter," he says, "what turns up to bc done, tho people of South Carolina havo no limo to attend to it." Ho docs not exactly agree with Mrs. Potts, about thc difference of tho people in tho two States. Tho rains of last Friday night and Sat urday havo done considerable damage to bottom corn and cotton. Thc corn along tho river was completely BUDD)urged and vomnincd in that condition for twenty-four hours. Tho liver Mas higher than it hos been for years. It roso, so I nm informed, to within live feet of tho timbers of Knox's liridgo. lt is feared that tho greater por tion of thc corn on the river and creek bottoms will bo ruined by this ovciflow, which will bc a heavy loss for rt number of our farmers. Pumpkins, fotldor, corn, fence rails, eco., floated down tho river in groat quantities. As soon os I can I will givo you ns near as possible an estimate of tho damage caused by iho rain. If frost holds olf for n week or so ibero will bc a good crop of top cotton made. Somo of tho farmers aro hopeful over their prospects in tho top crop ol cotton, olnim ing that ir. will increase thc yield ono half to two-thirds. Mr, Cobb carno to Fair Ploy tho other day to take passage on Capt. Whit. liroylcs' lino of Wheelbarrows to Westminster. Ho was informed that thc linc bad not bcou established yet; nt which bo expressed much disappointment and on being informed that ho was too largo to ride in a whcolbnr row, ho rciuarkod, "Whit keeps large wheel barrows nod I hovo no fears on that score."

Judge Seaborn is kept quito busy with civil business. Hu has very little criminal business, which speaks well for our little "burg." Judgo Seaborn is ns good a Trial Justice as wo have in tho Countv.

Ile is agent for Russel Coo's guano, which is pronounced very good by our farmers. They speak of it highly and will uso it another year. Messrs. W. II. Lindsey, Frank Harrison and W. H. O'liryant aro destroying thc fox race around Fair Play. They olaitn that thc fox is a sly fellow, but that, with all his cunning, ho cannot out-wit their hounds. Messrs. \V. S. Qlcnn and lt. F.

I sup pose, as Mr. Cobb says, they havo not tho limo to look after them; but, however, no ono can tell what to-morrow will bring forth. Mr. F. M.

C. Comments of tho Press on tho Eloction in Ohio. [From the New York Times, Republican.] All thc dispatches from Ohio show that thc interest in tho election of yesterday was in tense and that the vote polled was among tho largest ever known in the Slate. This it greatly due to thc importance of tho general issues involved nnd partially to tho offed which the result of tho election was expected to have upon the personal fortune-' of distin guished men, especially in thc Democratic party. Thc campaign, so far as. thc pilbil? discussion went, has booti almost as completely national in its character as if representative; in Congress, or even Presidential electors were to havo been chosen. On ;ho llcpnblii can side groat prominence has bron given tc thc Southern quesiim. Although Mr. Fostci was intimately connected with the earliei efforts of,Mr. Hayes to give anew complcxior to tho Southern policy of the .Oovornmonl neither he nor Iiis friends have hesitated tc occupy the most 'stalwart' gummi. In fact Mr. Sherman, who is regarded as the politico sponsor of Mr. Foster, has gone as faros any one could go in advocating the. views willoi tho extremest Republican critics of thc A l ministration have advanced, and Mr. Schur/, who has been thc most intelligent of tin President's advisors in Southon) malters gave moro temperate and rational, bul m loss emphatic support to the doctrino ?hat th only remedy for tho evils willi which tb South threatens thu country was a decide? Republican sentiment in tho North. Th magnet which drew thc (lifaflcotod to th Republican ticket was tho unmisttiknbl firmness of tho party for equal rights inti) South. Had tho Republicans taken tho'high cst ground on tl. ? enrroncy, wo believe tho; would have succeeded equally well, and thei victory would have hail grouter value. Rn thc significance of tho victory Hos in th evidence which it affords thai tho people o Ohio, fairly representing the people ni th North, arc thoroughly aroused ns to th tondency of Democratic rule, and arc rc solved to overthrow it wherever it has gainei a footing. J From tho New York Herald, Independent. This decisivo Republican triumph is ti national interest, ^ Resides disposing of sevc ral prominent Ohio statesmen, it will inspir courage und hopo in thc Republican part throughout the United State-', liven local! it is of considontblo Importun?e, lt cxtin guishes Senator Thurman's chancos id' rc cleo lion and puts an end to any lurking aspira lion which I'iWiitg univ have had to be Thur man's successor. Rut these local oon?c quonccs aro as dust in ibo balance. Th great significance of ibo Ohio election lies i its i ii ll ne nco upon national politics lind il bearing on tho selection iff candidates an thc success of parties in tho great Presiden (?al contest of next year. It makes it i m pos sibli) for thc Democratic candidate to bo take from Ohio, and favors 'Pillion's chances t nomination hy putting some of his prinolpi rivals out of tho licld. Hut in proportion as improves Tlldon's chancos of nomination diminishes his chances and tho chances of un Democratic candidato for election. 'Tilden ? a shrewd calculator, nnd it may turn oui tin ho will not covet tho nomination niter th smoke has lifted fro iii thc preliminary battit of thc prosent year. If New York shoal follow tho example of Ohio, Tilden wool simply loso his labor by intriguing un further for tho Democratic nomination, an ho may prefer I hat sumo oilier candida! should lead thc forlorn hope. Tho result i Ohio tends to a Republican success in No York, and should this bo tho actual o flee Tilden may bid a long farewell to Presiden tint honors. [From Ibo New York World, Democrat.] All that can bc asserted positively of til rosult in Ohio to-day is that tho Republicnr have failed to take that great Oom moo wooli ont of ibo wavering lino of States doublfi for 1HS0, and to plant it, as they hoped I plant it, in (ho van of thc Republican coburn whore of old it used to stand- Mr. Rlo'u stands on as fair a footing lo-duy in Mair as Mr. Sherman In Ohio.

Wo lind hopod, oven when lt wits evident that Foster lind boon elected to tho Governorship, that tho Logishituro would turn ont to havo a DomoorAtio majority on joint ballot, and tho fact that tho revorco is really truo is what makes it a serious disappointment. Tho ro suit is probably duo, moro than anything else, to tho unfortunate stand of (Jon. Ewing eli tho finnncial question. Tho pcoplo of Ohio ovi? duntly do not boliovo in soft money. On tho wholo wc think it is about timo for tho Demo cratic party to recognise tho fact that this is a hard monoy country. Dot it return to its old limo principios and act, in ovory instauco, accordingly. [From tho Now York Tribune, Republican.J This groat victory must not bo belittled by assigning it to too narrow onuses. It is not thc.ic-ult of Mr. Foster's enorgctic canvass, nor of the labors of any ono man, however aldo and sincere. It is not tho result of tho Sherman boom, nor of tho Grant boom, nor of thc Blaine boom, nor of tho Mayes boom., All these currents in thc campaign havo had their effect, Ito doubt, but tho ono mighty causo has been the profound conviction of tho" people that tho intorosts of tho country would not bo safe for tho nest four years in Demo* eratic hands. [From tho Philadelphia Press. Independent.) Tho voto of Ohio simply moans that tho present national attitudo ol' tho Democracy ?ms recalled Republican desotters, stragglers and grumblers back to their party allegiance, and that thc State has anchored herself in tho Republican column for 1S80. Tho Ohio idea ought to bo allowed to stay dead this timo. It has it great deal of impudence, but it con ' tandy can't havo enough to attempt to impose itself upon anybody anymore Diseases, like thieves, attack the weak.
