A great American has fallen in the death of James G. Blaine, which occurred at his home in Washington last Friday morning at eleven o'clock. After a long and painful illness his death was quiet and peaceful. He retained consciousness until a few minutes before final dissolu tion. Wanting only five days of being sixty-three years old. during thc latter half of his life he has been recognized as one of the leading spirits of thc Repub lican party. But he was not sectional nor partisan; he was too broad-minded and liberal for such small and ignoble measures. An American citizen in the truest sense, ho recognized that the section North of Mason's and Dixon's line v.^s not the whole country. Many elements of greatness entered into his character. He rose from coin parative obscurity by reason of intrinsic merit and attained his high eminence by his own genius and efforts. His superb intellect, untiring energy and profound js knowledge of human nature, made htm j x the great popular leader that he was. He was the brightest light in the Ftcpub OfKparty and the fairest exp* ~nt of .epublican doctrine in these latter ?lays. Many positions of public trust and honor have been rilled by him. and it has been said that his greatness pre vented him from occ#pyi:i^ still highei positions; that, like Clay; Calhoun and Webster, he was "too great t<> be Presi dent." Certain it is. that many men of much inferior parts have been President. And just here it was that Mr. blaine met with thegreatest disappointment of his life. His heart's desirewas.to be Presi dent ot these Gaited States. And he ! ^ seemed over on the point ?>f attaining)^ the goal of hts ambition, yet it was his ?, fate to die without reaching it. Some ,., trivial blunder or slight a< cident come in j |? at the critical moment t<> thwart his sue- ? cess. U'hile it is natural for Democrats to pr?tera Democrat t'<>r President, yet j,:, there was no man in the Republican J ]r party rrliom the whole American people. North, South, Easl and West, would-jj have.preferredforPresident before Mr. ~<i - Bfeiae. tb but it has been Said that he had fau!i>. I 'S' And SO he ?lid and so has every man. i Otherwise, he would not have l?een j : human. Birt, we suspect; that he had as \y many-ormore;noble virtues to counter ??( act his short-eomings than those who'j-^ seem to take especial delight tu review- J J-J, ing and criticising '"the blemishes on his ' ra ".e. c.s: Xo the Blaine household troubles have [ ?.i; cine t'ai ! and fast ol" late. Of Ids six t ai) children, three - two M.ns and a daughter \ -im - have been suddenly stricken down k\ I death after reaching maturity.

' 1 tie? dp: reft mai S li lided by Prejudice. ? The Augusta Chronicle does not appear to be very well pleased;with its work in South Carolina. It published a strong Larticle yesterday about the railroad situ ation in the- Sotfrlv aid; with* the efiects of Georgia Railroad legislation staring it in the face, spoke as follows'bf erie situa tion in this State: "The South Carolina "Legislature has said in effect to.the dying railroads of that State-for they are all in the hands of recei\-ers-you must sub mit to any tax demands that we may see. ht to make, and you liave no rights that we, the sovereign people, are bound to respect." It is not strictly accurate to say that all .the railroads in South Caro lina arc in the hands of receives, but it is* near enough correct to warrant the rellection that our neighbor cannot be very proud of the part it took in saddling the present administration upon this State.-Hews and Courier. Our contemporary is not fair in his presentation of public questions. The Chronicle is willing to accept its responsi bility for the part taken by it in the poli tics of South Carolina. It simply anti cipated results that seemed to be inevita ble. Whether rightly or wrongfully the farmers of South Carolina were discon tented with the ruling element in that State. The C/tronicle saw that the revo lution in public sentiment was inevitable. Our Charleston contemporary declined to see it and has never accepted the situ ation, it continues to denounce Gov. Tillman and his faction, who constitute a large or controlling majority of the Democratic party. The great trouble with our Charleston contemporary is its utter disregard of the first principle of the Democratic party that the minority must submit to the will >f the majority. That Gov. Tillman was nominated by a D?mocratie convention, md that he was elected Governor by tho .copie, should entitle him and his sup porters to that respectful consideration I .vhich the minority should always tender a o the majority in a Republican form of p ?overument. 1 The Chronic!' never uttered a word J., tgamst the old regime in South Carolina.

Gov. Tillman states/that many applications are being niadc,/with petitions attached, that are lacking in the essentials that will entitle them to consideration. In order that all would-be dispensers may comply strictly with the requirements of the law per taining to their applications, the follow ing extracts relating thereto are ap pended : Section 7. Applications for the posi tion of County Dispensers shall be by petitions signed and sworn to by the applicant aud filed with the County- Board 3f Control at least ten days before the meeting at which the application is to be considered, which petition shall state the applicant's name, place of residence, n what business engaged, and in what rosiness he has been engaged two years previous to filing petition ; that he is a ntizen of the United States and of South karolina ; that he has never been adjudged ruilty of violating the law renting to ntoxicating liquors, and is not a licensed t Iruggist, a keeper of a hotel, eating ( louse, saloon, restaurant or place of pun- j ic amusement; and that he is not iddicted to the use of intoxicating liquors ts a beverage. * * * Sections. * ? * At least ten days before he first day of the meeting at which the ipplications for the position of County )ispenser are considered the applicant hall file with the County Board of i.'on rol. and a copy thereof with the Clerk f Court, in support of the application, uch a petition, as is provided for in Sec ion 7. signed by a majority of the free lOld voters of the incorporated town or ?ty in which the permit, is to be used, nd each person aforesaid shall sign said etition by his own true name and s?gna me, and state that each, before signing, as read said petition and understands lie contents and meaning thereof, and is i'll and personally acquainted with the pplicant lu speaking of the desperate efforts nd combinations that are being made in pposition to thc enforcement of the dis snsary law.

[Savannah Morning News, January 20.] Tears ago, when South Carolina went | out of the Union, and for weeks was alone in the secession movement, she was hailed as "The Republic of South Carolina." She was a glorious common wealth then. She is an unconstitutional monarchy now, and bas a king,- and his name is Tillman. During the recent session of thc Legislature, King Till man named the bills that should be passed and those that he defeated. His orders were obeyed implicitly. He spoke through his lieutenants, who occupied places on the floor of the House, and his followers were as obedient as are the sol diers of a well disciplined army. There were a few Carolinians of the old school in the Legislature, and they, of course, refused to pay any attention to orders emanating from the office of the Execu tive. They were sat upon emphatically md made to realize how powerless they were. It is alleged that when committees refused to report bilis in accordance with King Tillman's wishes they were so re :onstructed that they readily complied arith his wishes. The rule of King Till nan will eventually prove as disastrous ;o the people of South Carolina as was bat of thc blacks and carpet-baggers, f a change does not soon take place the "tate w411 again pass into the control of he blacks, there to remain until another generation shall have suffered for the ins of their fathers. South Carolina Insulted. [Columbia Register.] The editor of the Savannah Morning Veto* insults the people of South.

This cannot be ikea as the calm and unbiased judgment f an impartial looker-ont-a sindent of icu and events living in another State ir the man who penned those lines is a >n of South Carolina and lived in this tate during thc bitter excitement ami rife of thc time when thc people ?urned th?- reins of government, which icir own indiff?rence had allowed to ?main long in the hands of a few. It is range language for a Carolinian to use. range as when a son impugns the honor ' ids mother. The accusation is doubly false, for iver did this State enjoy a freer and ore liberal government than at present, lie people now ruh-: and by the people e mean the majority of the qualified ec to rs of the State. There are some en who will never get used to this tcrcd state of affairs, but that docs not atter: it is nevertheless a fact, and we ?pe and trust the day wilt never <.? rae lien it will be any less a fact.

The reports from the pork centers of the West show that the scarcity of hogs and the high price of pork and lard may bc expected to continue. High prices arc drawing to the market a class of animals that should have been kept three months longer. The present supply is taken from? the future, and still the shortage is seriously felt. During the past week the receipts of hogs have been CO per cent of the number received a year ago. They are of lighter weight and the product is little more than half of what it was last year. They advanced consid erably last week, and the best sold at $7.7? per hundred pounds against $4.30 a year ago. Pork advanced in the Western cities 75 cents a barrel, lard $5 cents a hundred and ribs 50 cents a hun dred during the week. With these facts before then, our Southern farmers should require no urging to induce them to increase their hog product. High prices will prevail for some time to come, and every additional hog in the South is another step towards independence, self support and comfort: Wc arc abun dantly supplied with home-raised corn ami there is no earthly reason why we should not raise all the hogs we need.
