? A dispatch of Wednesday from Winthrop,
Maine, says: One of the most severe
earthquake shocks ever felt in this
vicinity occurred at 8:40 o'clock last evening.
A report like a heavy cannon, continuing
thirty seconds, shook the earth
violently, swaying buildings and rattling
dishes and furniture. A second shock, felt
about midnight, was somewhat lighter
but about of tne same duration.
Hansom Craig, of Kentucky, is proba>i>ly
the heaviest man in the world. His
weight is given at 792 pounds, and it requires
thirty-seven yards of cloth to make
him a suit. He is six feet four and onehalf
inches in height, is 31 years old, and
weighed eleven pounds at birth. When
2 years old h8 took a $1,000 prize at tne
9 baby show in New York, tippiD , the beam
at 206 pounds at that time. His father
weighed 115 pounds and his mother 122.
? More than half of the people of the
United States?men, women and children?wear
shoes that come from Boston.
That is the headquarters of the boot and
shoe industry of the whole country?the
centre from which the marketable product
of the great manufacturing towns
thereabout is distributed. The population
of these towns is chiefly made of workers
in the hngeehops, which turn out foot gear
at the rate of nearly 100,000,000 pairs every
year.
? The Norlib O&rplina Farmers' State
Alliance was'in session at Raleigh last
week. S. B. Alexander, vice-president,
presided. He delivered an address in
which he stated that the order was prosperous
and its growth was marvelous.
Secretary L. L. Polk read a report which
showe^ that the order has been established
in that' State a little over a year. It has
now about 50,000 members. There are
1,045 sub-alliances in fifty-five counties.
All were represented in the convention.
?A peculiar band of religious people,
calling themselves "Saints," are conductingaxsunp
meeting near Akron, Indiana.
The ""Saints" go through some queer
manoevres while holding services. One of
the preachers can imitate the barking of a
dog or {he cawing of a crow to perfection,
and his making use of these sensational
adjuncts caused two young men named
George Cook and Cary Nichols to laugh
boi8teronsly. The boys were arrested and
fined. People in the neighborhood are in
dignant at the "Saints."
? The President has signed Senator
Hampton's joint resolution authorizing
the secretary of war to examine and report
on the amount owing by the Government
for the occupancy of the Citadel Academy
in Charleston. Before attaching his signature
to the resolution.the President looked
into the matter, and he was satisfied that
it is a just claim. This action should in- j
sure favorable results in the future both by
the war department and Congress. So i
that the prospect of Charleston receiving ;
something like $70,000 is very promising.
?Representative O'Donnell, of Michigan,
a member of the House committee
on accounts, has been busy auditing vouchers
for envelopes used in distributing the
speeches of members of the House during
the present session. Most of the speeches
have been on the subject of the tariff, and
$21,000 has been expended in furnishing
11,000,000 envelopes necessary to distribute
campaign literature throughout the country.
Previous to the present session the
largest number of envelopes used for this
purpose was during the campaign of 1876,
when 7,000,000 envelopes were required.
? The Farmers' Inter-State Convention,
which met at Raleigh, N. C., yesterday,
will have representatives from the ten
Cotton States of the South. It will be in
session three days. There will be upwards
of three hundred delegates, and the
total number of delegates and vistors will
exceed a thousand. Full stenographic reports
of the proceedings of the Convention
will be made. Features of interest will
be the laying of the corner-stone of the
North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical
College and an excursion to Durhajm.
? A uispatch of Friday from Cheyenne,
Wyoming, says: An attempt was made at
2 o'clock this morning by masked men to
rob the Union Pacific eastbound overland
^ passenger train. At Dana Station, near
Poirlino throo mnsslrfd men covered the
engineer with revolvers and compelled
him to throw up his hands. Brakcman
Frank Tillman grappled with one of the
robbers, the express messenger came to
the rescue and the robbers were put to
0 flight after thirty or forty shots haa been
exchanged. Fireman Nash and Brakeman
Tillman were seriously wounded, the
former shot in the hip and arm and the
latter in theside. One robber was dropped,
but was carried off bv his confederates.
? Mrs. James Nader lives on a small
farm near Pottstown, Pa. A year ago she
was the mother of twenty-two living children,
the youngest being a few mouths
old. There was a mortgage for $550 on the
little Nader property. The holder of the
mortgage one day, a year ago, said, in a
joking way, to Mrs. Nader, that if her family
numbered twenty-four children within
the coming year he would lift the mortgage.
A few days ago he called to collect
the year's interest on the debt. Mrs.
Nader quietly conducted him to the cradle
in her sitting room, exhibited to him a
pair of three weeks' old twins, aud reminded
him of his promise. The mortgage
was cancelled and the twins presented
with $100 besides.
?The London Society of Arts has thoroughly
discussed the subject of protection
f from lightning. The most thorough inV
vestigation is summed up by Professor
Lodge, in the statement that for isolated
chimneys and steeples, as well as powder
magazines, there is no better protection
than a number of lengths of telegraph
wires. A number of thin wires is better
by far than a single thick one, and their
capacity is increased by connecting up
metallic masses, such as lead roofs; "but
do not connect with balconies and other
accessible places." As to a roof, he would
run a barbed wire all around the eaves
and ridges, but he would r?n no rods up
above the highest points of buildings, because
thereby flashes are precipitated that
would otherwise never occur. So it seems
that our ordinary lightning rods are a
source of danger rather than of protection.
? The Supreme Court of Washington
Territory decides that the law granting
? suffrage to women is unconstitutional.
Tho orrnnnHc for tho nnininn are based on
the fact that the Legislature exceeded its
* powers granted by Congress. The Court
took the ground that the word "citizen"
in the grant means nothing else than male
citizen. An appeal will be taken to the
Supreme Court of the United States. The
peculiarity of the legislation on woman
suffrage in the Territory is that this is the
second law that has been passed and this
is the second time that it has been declared
unconstitutional. Under the original law,
fjassed by a large majority in the Legisature
two years ago, an election was held
and the women cast votes in all the counties.
Then the Supreme Court overruled
it. Again a few weeks a?o the? Legislature
passed a law and this has met the
same fate. The Territory is a stronghold
of prohibition and woman suffrage advovates,
and they will fight the case to the
Court of last resort.
? One of the most remarkable incidents
nff?rima hna recently occurred at Raleigh.
N. C. It is a case of mistaken identity
that if set down in a novel would be laughed
at as an absurdity. The story is one of
rare interest. In 1875, thirteen years ago,
one Scott Partin murdered his wife and
child near Raleigh and succeeded in making
his escape. But so atrocious was the
deed and the circumstances attending it
that interest in the crime did not soon die
out, and as late as last June two men who
had known Partin declared that they had
discovered him in Selma, the county seat
of the county of Johnson, in the same
State, and not a great distance from the
scene of the murder, and had a man who
bore the name of Porter arrested. A number
of people who had known Partin declared
that Porter was the same man, and
such marks of identification as the loss of
a middle finger, moles and other disfigure
ments seemed to prove Porter to be the
murderer. But Porter, who had come to
this country in 1873, insisted on having his
friends in Ireland communicated with,
and so fully was his identity established
\ that he was released from jail last month.
But distress and confinement had told
heavily upon him, and he has since lost
his mind. It is said that after being released
he expressed a desire to go to the
Pennsylvania mines to secure employ- t
ment. 1

YORKVILLE, S. C. : C
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1888. ;
THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. J
Though an occurrence of a week ago, we
print in full, as a matter of record, the pro- s
ceedings of the Congressional Convention j
held in this place last Wednesday. Th^ e
attendance of delegates was not so large, *(
J as might have been expected, though tbfs *
is explained by the fact that there was no *
contest, and it was a foregone conclusion ,
that Mr. Hemphill was entitled to the j
nomination. This sentiment pervaded
the convention, which was unanimous on *
that point. The nomination of Mr. Hemp- ]
hill for re-election is a deserved recogni- {
tion of his past services in Congress, which
the voters of the district will cheerfully 1
ratify in November next. t
PROGRESS OP THE CAMPAIGN.
The Nejv York Times of Saturday says:
With the hope probably of diverting ]
public attention if jpossible from the dis- ,
sension among the Republican leaders over (
Blaine's speeches and other irreconcilable
difficulties, Col. Elliott F. Shepard's relig- j
ious daily yesterday afternoon published a (
story that Col. Brice had been removed
r?? *-i-~ ~kni?reio.iotiin nf tha ATflfinnol
I rum lllC iiiaiiuiauoiiip wi viiv
Democratic Campaign Committee, after he
had been sharply reproved by the President.
Of course the story was false, but a
reporter of the Times had a talk with ExSenator
Barnum, chairman of the National
Committee, abont the work oT the committee
and about Col. Brice. Mr. Barnum
has been sick for some days at his residence
at Lyme Rock, Conn., and came to
New York on his way to Washington.
Said he: "There never has been any
trouble between the members of the campaign
committee, or between any member
of the campaign committee and the President.
Col. Brice's management of the
campaign has been eminently satisfactory
to the President, to Mii Thurman, and to
his fellow-members of the committee. He
i9 a gentleman of remarkable perspicacity
and judgement, a great worker, who accomplishes
his ends quietly. As to the
condition of the committee's labors, I
want to call your attention to the fact that
we are three weeks ahead of 1884. I have
never known things to be in so forward a
state, or the machinery to be so perfectly
adjusted for effective execution. We are
not doing much talking, and are sounding
no blasts on the trumpet, but everything .
is going right on as it should in the most i
satisfactory manner."
"How are affairs in Connecticut?" .
"While I was at home I received information
from all sections of Connecticut.
This talk about Connecticut manufacturers
going over to Harrison and Morton is all i
bosh. Most of them are convinced that
the Mills bill will help them by making J
raw materials cheaper and widening their ,
markets. The working men, too, are sat- '
isfled that a high protective tariff is detri- *
mental to their interests." j
Col. Brice was laughing with Mr. Mur- t
tha, AmbsJ. Cummingd, and other friends t
at headquarters abcut tne shifts to which I j
their desperation had forced the Republi- ;
cans to resort. He said: "I have seen (
the Mail and Express. Of course there is j
absolutely nothing in the story. It is ab- j
solutely false." ]
Senator Gorman arrived last evening c
from Washington and stopped at the Fifth i
Avenue Hotel. He said that he hardly j
blamed the Republicans for circulating ^
falsehoods about the Democracy; there n
was but little else for them todo. "Why," .
he continued, "they had a similar story
about me four years ago when I occupied c
the position Col. Brice does now. You ^
know the result. President Cleveland was .
elected." Senator Gorman has been promising
his fellow members that as soon as
he could get away from the Senate he t
would come and give them his valuable g
assistance. He hopes now to be able to
stay here for some days. t
MR. MILLS IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Hon R. Q. Mills, of Texas, delivered a s
speech at Charleston, W. Va., last Sat- ?
urday. His principal topic was the tariff.
After a few opening remarks he said the c
labor question was the paramount issue of ?
this campaign, and referred to the demo- I
cratic party as the friend of the people, j
He paid his respects from a Democratic
standpoint to the Republican party at the g
close of the rebellion, following it up by r
referring to taking the burden of taxation (
from wealth and putting it on the shoul- ]
ders of labor. The question now before 1
the people is from skin to core and from g
core to sk.n, as far as labor is concerned, i
Statistics showing the attitude of the Re- t
publican party, posing as the friend of la- 1
bor, were given also. The speaker c
touched on the attitude of the Republican y
party on the Mills tariff bill, and said it t
was between the "devil and the deep 1
sea." He said the democratic party was c
not buying votes this campaign, but r
would make them by principles. 1
He denounced Republican legislation as j
being in the interest of the wealthy and i
the present tariff system as unjust and per- ;
nicious, saying, "It will finally result in t
bankruptcy and ruin to the masses of the 1
people;" that the proposed reduction is t
only o per cent.; that he represents the i
greatest wool growing State in the country;
and as to placing wool on the free f
list he spoke from a practical knowledge, i
that it cheapened clothing to all, but did i
not affect the wool growth in price or i
otherwise, that the only benefit from a
high tariff on wool is realized by a com- ,
bination of manufacturers in the country <
at the expense of the people. Take off i
the tariff, and its manufacture in this <
country will be largely increased, and the i
increase will demand labor, which is the I
great producer And foundation of wealth, i
The prosperity of the country is based up- s
on the prosperity of the majority of the t
people, and the Democratic party believes
in giving the laborer the benefit of his 1
work and not in giving it to the monop- 1
olist at the expense of the man who earns i
it. It is absolutely necessary that the
producers reach, the consumer. When
you prohibit goo^s from coming into a
country you also prohibit goods from going f
out, and commerce with other countries is j
necessary for our prosperity. ]
The Democratic party proposes to start |
the manufactories of the country and fur- ]
nisn employment iur every wui&iuguiau
within its borders, by entering the markets
of the world and sending our products to
every nation.
The Republican system of tariff does not
protect the labor, tfbt the man that employs
labor. The money goes into the
employer's pocket, and then who is going
to get it out? The Democratic party is
for the labore^. A high tariff means low
wages, and the profits from the tariff
come from the pockets of the workingmen.
The Republican party has deceived the
working man for many years by posing
as his friend, and the Democratic party | \
j appeals to the intelligence of the people j
I and asks them to decide who are their t
j truest friends. j i
? The Newberry News and Herald: The ! s
great educational need of South Carolina j ]
to-day is for more and better common ' i
schools, where all the children can have f

tion. This is something thai will reach j
all the children, rich and poor, and be of 1
immediate benefit to them. ?

BOISTEROUS*RAILROAD MEN.
Last Friday afternoon, a gang of negroes,
numbering about eighty, passed through
Charlotte, some in carts and wagons, and
nthers on foot. The force belonged to
Mr. J. T. Roddey, of Rock Hill, who having
finished a contract there on the Three
C's Railroad, was transferring it to Winston,
where he has a contract on the Roanoke
and Southern. In their;wagons was
the usual equipage of railroad laborers.
They passed through Charlotte quietly and
nrderly, but on Saturday morning excitement
ran to its highest pitch when news
was brought to the city that on Friday
night the negroes had boldly entered garlens
and watermelon patches and taken
anything they wanted, and also that they
bad robbed numbers of chicken roosts, insulted
all the white residents on the road,
ind were openly defying the authorities
3f the law. They had opened fire on some
ivhites, but fortunately no one was killed.
The people along their route became considerably
alarmed. Appeals were made
bo the sheriff, who at once ordered out the
military company, sending the chief of
police and others mounted in pursuit. It
was learned that the gang had gone up
;he Statesville road. A special train was
secured, which pulled out from the depot
it 11.35 A. M., having on board thirtysight
members of the Hornet's Nest Riflemen
and Sheriff Cooper. The chief of
police's mounted posse being overtaken,
warded the train, when again the throt:le
was thrown open.
At Davidson College it was learned that
,he gang was only a few minutes ahead.
Window-blinds were closed as the train
moved on. Soon the gang was seen, but
:he train went whizzing by. Stopping
ifter passing the crowd, the military
narched out. Some went into the woods,
sthers marched forward to meet the gang.
When the sheriff hurried upon them and
rav8 the signal calling for unconditional
mrrender, the military came from the
voods, while all marched up showing the
rang that they were surrounded by rifles.
V yell of defiance was made by the gang,
>ut they surrendered without further resisance.
Twenty-four, wiere taken, brought
o Charlotte and placed in jail for a hearug
on Monday. Their names, as publishn

The Weather and the Crops.?The '
South Carolina weather service, cooperaing
with the chief signal officer, furnishes
he following concerning the effect of the 1
tmniAiio nrnno Hnrtnff tho '
vetUUCl UII tuc vai ivuo uvpo uuuu6 v..v
veek ending August 18: "The rainfall for
he past week in the northern, middle and
outhern counties has been about an averige
and fairly distributed. The tempera- ;
ure was slightly above, with an average
imount of sunshine."
The weather and crop bulletin of the
ignal service at Washington, issued last j
sunday, says: {
There has been more rain than usual
luring the week throughout the Gulf 1
states, Tennessee, the Ohio Valley, the
ower lake region and the interior middle
Atlantic States. Well distributed show- i
>rs are reported from Central Mississippi
ind the Missouri Valley, while very little I
ain occurred in North Carolina, South
Carolina, northern portions of Wisconsin, i
Vlinnesota and Western Kansas. The
leaviest rains occurred in the lower Mislissippi
and central Ohio valleys, thereby i
educing a large seasonal deficiency in
,hose sections, llain fall for the season is i
argely in excess in the southern portion
)f the Gulf States and upper Mississippi :
/alley. There has also been more rain
han usual in the interior of the New Engand
and the Middle Atlantic States, while
>ver 90 per cent, of the usual rainfall is
eported from the Missouri valley lake
egion, Tennessee, Virginia and northern
jortions of Georgia and Alabama. In the
south Atlantic States, northern Mississippi
and extreme west portion of Tennessee, j
;he deficiency in rain fall ranges from 7 to i
14 inches, or actual rainfall in those secIons
has been from 00 to SO per cent, of
lormal.
The weather during the week has been
avorable for growing crops in the wheat
md corn regions of the Northwest, where
eports indicate that prospects have been
mproved.
In Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi,
Alabama and South Carolina, the weather
luring the week was favorable, and growng
crops, which were suffering from
Irought in the early part of the week, were
nuch benefitted by the recent rains. Rain
ias proved beneficial to the tobacco crop
n Kentucky, although the plant in some
sections had been prematurely ripened by
;he previous dry weather.
In New England and the Middle Atlan- 1
,ic States the weather during the week
ias generally been favorable for ay growng
crops.

Chief Nescott, of the Kickapoos, his
iquaw and five children, were killed by
ightning on the reservation near Metawsa,
Kansas, last Friday It has just
ieen discovered that for years two men
have worked a scheme of robbing the let:er
boxes of Chicago, and it is estimated
;hat their stealings amount to more than
i million dollars. The President has
ssued an order placing Major-General
schofield in command of the army, with
leadquarters at Washington. General 1
schofield will also continue in command
)f the Division of the Atlantic. No other
;hanges have yet been made. The
msiness failures occurring throughout the
;ountry during last week number for the 1
United States 187; Canada 82; total 219
igainst 233 the previous week. A kill- 1
ng frost occurred last Friday morning,
'or the first time this season at St. Vincent,
Montana, where the temperature fell to I
hirty degrees, before sunrise that morn- i
ng. All agree in saying that the im- <
nense wheat crop was injured by the cold
map. There lives in Logan county, <
Dakota, a Mrs. Goodsill, who owns 5,000 i
icres of land, and besides managing the <
arm, she dictates the politics of the coun- i
y. She is a practical politician. Mrs. i
\nn Hardin, the first woman married in j
fexas after its annexation to the United <
States, has just died at the age of 80. She j
svas a cousin of Gov. Rector, of Arkansas,
and Jeff Davis, and was known all over
the State as "Grandma" Hardin. Out
of 250 voters at the recent election in
Cimarron, Kansas, ninety-eight were;
women. Seth Green, the well-known
fish culturist,' died at Rochester, N. Y., i
last Sunday, aged 71. More than twenty
negroes are said to have been killed in
the race troublesnear New Iberia, La., last
week. The money that Andrew Carnegie
pays out every month in wages to the
employees of his vast iron and steel mills
would, if converted into silver dollars,
amount to sixteen thousand pounds, or
eight tons. Farmers within a radius
of three miles of Perham, Minn., during
fourteen days recently, caught and killed
5,000 bushels of grasshoppers, for which
the county paid $1.00 per bushel. The
famous cattie trail between Texas and the
North wiIl oon bo wiped out. It was 600
miles long and one mile wide* and when
the original survey of Colorado was made
this strip was left for the use of the cattle
men. The railroads have now rendered it
useless. Reports indicate that the
yellow fever at Jacksonville, Florida, is
abating, though one death occurred Sunday
night, and five on Saturd&y and
Saturday night. Strenuous exertions are
making to thoroughly fumigate the city,
and vigorous measures will be taken for
the segregation of patients and suspects.

? Say the Abbeville Medium: The farmers
do not ask much from their fellow citizent.
With the money derived from the
Clemson estate the burden will not be felt.
If a separate college was established without
the bequest and by direct taxation, the
burden on each taxpayer would hardly be
more than the value of a postage stamp.
? A red ink poster, issued by Fred Nix,

GENERAL POLITICAL NOTES.
? The Republican State Convention of
Indiana, on the Sth instant, nominated
Gen. A. P. Hovey, at present a member
of Congress, for Governor.
? ' ' - rii-i- /-I rsf
? The Democratic state cunvcuuuu m
New York will meet at'Buffalo, September
12, to nominate candidates for Governor
and Lieutenant-Governor and Judge of
the Court of Appeals.
? The New York papers are speculating
upon the possibility that Mr. Blaine may
desire to suece ch^fcv Frye in the United
States Senate. Mr. Frye's term expires
next March.
? The Rev. Alfred P. Miller, a colored
delegate to the [Republican Convention in
Hartford, Conn., last Wednesday, is indignant
over the refusal of a restaurant keeper
of that city to feed him. It turns out
that the restaurateur is one of the most pronounced
white Republicans in Hartford.
Such an "outrage" down South would be
apt to elicit a Congressional inquiry.
? Gen. James Langdon Curtis, who has
been nominated for President by the
American party, is a retired dry goods
merchant and real estate owner of New
York. He was born in Hartford, in 1812,
but he has lived in New York since he
was 1G years of age. Although a General
in the array, he never saw active service,
but was engaged in drafting troops. He
has been a candidate for Congress and was
the nominee for Governor of Connecticut
in 1884 on the Butler ticket.
? George 0. Jones, Chairman of the NatifM-ioi
rvrnimaton r>f thp f4rf>finhank nartv.
has issued a call for a National Convention
of the National Greenback party at Cincinnati,
Wednesday, September 12th next, to
nominate candidates for President, and
Vice-President of the United States, and
to take such further action as may be necessary
to preserve the name and organization
and keep before the people the principles
on which that party was origipally
founded.
? A proposition is under consideration
by the Democratic campaign managers to
arrange for a joint discussion of the tariff
question by Speaker Carlisle and Blaine.
It is proposed to challenge Blaine to meet
Carlisle and dispute the question in alternate
speeches in the twelve principal cities
Df the Union, six to be named by Blaine
and six by the Speaker. The opinions of
a number of prominent Democratic Congressmen
as to the advisability of such
;ourse have been asked, and there is very
general concurrence of approval.

RAILROAD NOTES.
The last of the work on the roadbed assigned ^
by the engineer to the contractors here, was ^
finished yesterday. The adjoining section of j
six miles west, under Smith <fc Lathrop, will be
completed this month, which will give a fin- j
ished roadbed to King's Creek, and the work t
beyond that point to Black's, about six miles, ]
under Capt. Kinsley and his sub-contractors, r
is progressing in such manner as to give no ^
fear of interruption in tracklaying. ^
It was expected that the work of tracklaying j,
would be resumed yesterday morning, thesur- <;
facing up of the track between trestle No. 13 ]
and Rock Hill having been completed last Sat- c
urday. We have been assured by those in po- r
sition to know, that tracklaying will proceed g
from this date without interruption or delay, ^
except such as may be caused by unfavorable a
weather. ^
The railroad commissioners, accompanied by j
Mr. J. H. Averill, the superintendent of the
Southern Division, inspected that portion of
the road between Lancaster and Rock Hill last
Friday, and the commission has authorized its
use for traffic. Regular trains commenced running
to Rock Hill on Monday last. :
On to-morrow an excursion party, composed
of business men of Charleston, will be run
from that city to Rock Hill, the railway management
desiring that the opening of the road
to that point shall be both a railway and a social
event. It is understood that a similar excur- *
sionwill bo run to Yorkville when the road is ,
open for traffic to this place. ^

NOTES FROM UNION COUNTY.
Etta Jane, August U6.?Saturday
light last we had a fine rain, which came
n the right time to supplement the good
(fleets of the last one we had, more than
1 week ago. There was scarcely any
vind, but a good deal of electricity in the
doud. This will make most of the corn.
My observation is that with no disastei
o crops this county will be better off this
;ear than it has been since 1887. Some
;arly corn was so largely damaged by the
Irought that the rains have improved il
iut little. Cotton is beginning to open,
:t will not compare with the corn prosjects
at present.
The reunion of the Confederate veterans
it Limestone Springs, last Friday, broughl
ogether a large and representative body
>f both sexes. The occasion was also the
ipening of the campaign in Spartanburg
;ounty. Among the speakers was oui
vorthy Representative in Congress, Hon,
lohn J. Hemphill. It was not our good
ortune to be present and hear him, bul
hose who did, spoke in the highest terms
?f his effort. The compliment he paid tc
^residentCleveland and his wife was subime
beyond description. Also the com>liment
he paid the ladies present, as well
is those of his Congressional district and
state, was uone'the less appreciated. His
vas the speech. He is the rising man, not
?nly of the State, but of the Nation.
Without fear of successful contradiction
ve venture the assertion that there is not
, Congressional district in the Union where
he rights and wishes of the people are
ore thoroughly represented than in his.
A daily mail has been placed on the
oute from Union to this place, and we
tope soon to see the same on the route
rom Yorkville. The diverse business inerests
along the line through which this
oute passes call for increased mail faciltes,
and the people must have them.

Rent for the Citadel.?On Monday
| last the secretary of war transmitted to the
Senate his reply to Senator Hampton's
1 Citadel resolution. Secretary Endicott
| states that he referred the matter to the
! quartermaster-general, and that officer is
J of the opinion that a fair rental for the
property for the fifteen years of its occu;
pancy by the United States would be about
| ?4,000 per annum, and in vi^v of the injui
ries resulting thereto by wear and tear
and by fire, rent should be allowed at the
rate of ?5,000 per annum. Thus, from August,
1866, to February, 1882, the amount
would be ?77,260, to be awarded to South
Carolina for the use and occupation of, and
damage to the Citadel.

Senate when the secretary's communication
was laid before that body, and he
promptly moved that it be referred to the
committee on appropriations. It is his in
tention to have this sum accepted in lieu
of all claims for rent, wear and tear, or any
other cause whatever. After investigating
the facts in this case the secretary says
that the quartermaster-general is of the
opinion that the above amount, upon the
terms and conditions recited, would be a
fair compensation to the State of South
Carolina. An item will be inserted in the
general deficiency bill providing for the
payment of this claim.
Two Views.-?The Newberry Observer
says: "Why should Governor Richardson
be regarded as an 'opponent of the farmers'
? The Governor is a farmer; and, except
during the war when he was a Confederate
soldier, has always been a farmer.
He may not agree with the doctrines of
what is known as the'farmers' movement,'
or he may. Governor Richardson is an
honest man; he Is a truetnah, and pg-pnrp- ,, a
patriot as South Carolina has or has ever
had. And whatever opinion he may entertain,
he is not an 'opponent of the
. farmers.'"
1 And a writer in the Keowee Courier defines
the Governor's stand thus: "I would
like to know which side Governor Richardson
takes in the Clemson College. I
think he is like the man who was out
I At 1 At LA , J (TIL ? ?
nuuuuguuu muugiu ne saw a aeer. jliicu
he thought he was a eolt. He said he
would shoot anyhow, and if it was a colt
he would shoot to miss, and if a deer he
would shoot to kill it. He shot and missed,
and the thing run off and he never
knew which it was."
Ben Butler on the Tariff.?"Iam
one of the largest woolen manufacturers
* in the United States. I do not say this
3 boastingly, but to show that I am not selfj
ish in the views I hold. The cloth I
. wear"?placing his hand on his coat
1 sleeve?"is of my own manufacture, and
I I notice several gentlemen around me
] who wear the same. On these goods there
j is a tariff of 60 per cent. Republican ora3
.tors and newspapers tell you this tariff is
1 to protect the mill laborers. Twenty per
5 cent, will pay our entire labor expenses.
5 What do you suppose becomes of the oth7
er 40 per cent. ? These same Republican
i oratorsand newspapers tell you itgoes into
5 the United States Treasury. Not a dollar
. reaches there. Every cent goes into my
s pocket." (Slapping his hand on his pock
et vigorously, to give emphasis to his
words.) "And every one of you is paying ^
this bounty to the woolen manufacturers.
The whole tariff" scheme is an imposition
and a fraud on the American people."
; The Law is Supreme Over All.?
The whole power of a sovereign people
, cannot place any man in South Carolina
beyond the reach of accountability for his
acta. From the Governor in his seat to
the mopt honored Judge, all are bound by
the same law of justice, honor, integrity.
" But it is in violation of every principle of
honesty and justice for a citizen to charge
3 dishonor upon a man who has gained the
confidence of his fellows, simply for pur9
poses of notoriety, and more especially
when he has not a circumstance upon
i which to base his charge. And we submit
that it is a dark day in the history of this
b State when candidates for office resort to
groundjess charges of corruption hurled

t&* There will be no such thing as an
^ "October State" this Presidential campaign
to indicate the ultimate result of the
f election the following month. This, we
take it, is of inestimable importance to the
Democracy, as Indiana, one of the States
which formerly voted for State officers in
October, is the home-place of the Republi3
can candidate for the P- esidency, and that
party would spend no end of money in
order to carry the State in the first elec
tion, hoping by that means to qjffect.the
final results the next month. From the
contagious nature of politics and its uncer
tainties, this effect would not be very
improbable, considering the usually close
> conditions of majorities in that State.
