But Toombs does not think that we have much of a Fourth of July left in this country. —Ex-Senator David Davis is now at his home in Bloomington, 111., looking exceedingly well and devot ing seven hours’ work a day to his law business and his real estate interests.

Gould refused to pay a large bill for house repairs; the matter was put in the hands of a Deputy Sheriff, who declares that every bit of Gould’s personal proper ty is in Mrs. Gould’s name, and she draws all household checks. His excellency Gov. Hugh S. Thompson has appointed Col. D. P. Duncan of Union, to the vacancy cn the Railroad Commission, caused by the death of the industrious and in defatigable Jeter. Already the usual buzz of good appoinime.t <fcc arises around the political altar, and the long list of disappointed applicants retire with rueful faces to pick their flints afresh for the next appearance of game. We wish we could join with those who chaunt the chorus of ap proval, bul as our vision is too iuper- feet to read the notes of the music, we prefer to remain a passive specta tor. From what we can learn Col. D. P. Duncan, has had s -m? experience as a radroad man, and s >me as an agriculturalist, and by virtue of hi- position as President of the Agricul tural and Mechanical society is an Ex-officio member of the Board of Agriculture. These doub lets may be regarded by some as snecUi recom mendations 5*- tho resp in-iole posh ion of Railroad Commis-ioner; but loro r- selves wo do no. he^ira e to sty, that the recent acrion of the Agricultural Board, whereby the St-ite was throi- »hd, hurled backwards in her iri- •imphal career of progress, and for bidden to di-pSay her wonderful min eral, manufacturing and agricultural resources at the mamoth Industrial Expositions of 1883, stamps the ac tors in this suicidal programme, ns men not sufficiently embued with an enlightened appreciation of the exi- ineident to the grand indus- rial race, which the civilized peoples —Gen. Beauregard is represented as saying that so far as his own observa tion goes there is a gradual decline in the negro race; that they neglect their young and leave the old uncared for; and these causes are bringing about a steady diminution ih the number of| blacks in those parts of the South he has noticed. —Wm/Hayles, a young white man from Augusta confined in the Colum bia jaih for house breaking and lar ceny, on Saturday last made an abor- tive attempt to hang himself wiih strips of blanket. He afterwards cut a number of violent capers with the view’ it is thought of creating the im pression that he is a lunatic, —A Court in Ontario, Canada, has made the extraordinary decision that divorces granted in the United States are not valid in Canada. A woman divorced from her husband in the State of Missouri has obtained a judg ment alimony from her husband, w ho was domiciled in Ontario, where he was married a second time and had children by his second marriage. —More than one hundred thousand children earn their living in New York city. There are more than two hundred different kinds of occupa tions where they earn monej\ About 4,000 girls are employed in book bind eries and 10,000 in manufacture of arti ficial flowers. There are thousands of street Arabs who get a living hap hazard, and often dishonestly. —Gen. Toombs says he raises near ly everything in the wary provision that is consumed on his place, except black pepper and a few such articles. This is a lesson in making a place self-sustaining that it would be well for all Georgia to learn. The General says that lie has tried hams that the grocers boast of so much, but has never found one that was equal to his own home raised hams. —A gentleman who met Senator Hoar of Massachusetts recently told him that some Boston clergymen had conceived the idea of setting apart a day to ofler up prayers for the conver sion of Ben Butler. “If you have any influence with them,” said the Sena tor excitedly, ‘pray exert it to pre vent the consummation of their pur pose. I want to go to heaven myself.’’ —Newspaper editing in Nevada is not without its incidents. The Ruby Wcivs says: “James E. Anderson, who was killed last November, the first editor and founder of this paper, is in another world; his successor is in the Nevada Insane Asylum, and the third and present unfortunate is still buttling with the world, the flesh and the devil, dodging bullets and soliciting advertisements.” —The Palmetto Lumber Company of Georgetown have indefinitely sus pended business. There are all kinds of minors as to the cause, but nothing definite is known. The Sheriff has leyled on the property for the benefit of local creditors. The sudden col lapse of this business will sadly dis tress many people in and about Georgetown oireely and indirectly, there being about two hundred per sons thrown out of employment. —It is believed that a society has been recently formed in Dublin for the purpose of removing informers who testified at the late trials, particularly James Carey. A raid was made re cently on a* house where it was sup posed a meeting of this society was being held, but no arrests were effect ed. James Carey has been permitted to go out of Kifmainham jail occa sionally, but this has now been stop ped, as the police decline to held themselves responsible for his safety. —One oi the most remarkable inci dents connected with the explosion of the boiler of Cox & Perry’s engine the other dav, was the very singular man ner in which it affected a mule which was hitched to a water cart standing a few feet from the engine. The mule was blown out of the shafts a distance of twenty yards or more, and alighted on his feet none the worse for his rap id transit except a few scalds on his legs. The harness was but slightly injured, and the wagon escaped with out being seriously hurt. —In the Court of Common Pleas on Thursday the case brought up by H. G. Seudday, as attorney for certain taxpayers in Williamstou township, to set aside the recent election and restrain the collection of the taxes voted to the Carolina, Cumberland Gapand Chicago Railroad, was called, Maj. R. A. Child, of Pickens, repre senting the railroad company, and after argument the court dismissed the complaint. This ends the case, and it is now jn order for the taxes to paid without further resistance.— Anderson Intelligencer. —Mr. C. F. fessor In the has given that institute $20,000 in Maj. J. Lamb Buist and others have Georgia Railroad 6 per cent, bonds, i reee i V ed a perfect ovation during their but the conditions are peculiar, and* not a dollar can be made available for about 100 years, the earth are now utilizing ail their powers and energies to run with cred it to themselves and their posterity. As Col. Duncan was a member of the Agricultural Board, and as the act on of that body has g me so fur towards fostering in the minds of the people of the Siate, a most unfavorable opin ion of the wisdom and public spirit of the gentlemen composing that board, we think the Governor might have taken more time to consider rtoe matter, when he probably would have been able to have found some eitizen not handicapped with the odium of a measure so detrimental to the inter ests of the State, and so repugnant to the enlightened spirit of the age. We understand tnat C >1. Duncan is an agreable and genial gentlemen, but we do not think h.s appointment will add that strength and confidence to the commission, which the public might reasonably expect from one who is to fill the place made vacant by the death of so useful a member as Ex- Gov. Jeter. Fortunately the most ini. portant work is done, and the report of the commission will be published in a few days. Nevertheless the work of this body involves the consideration of such delicate and intricate com mercial problems, that Col. Duncan will be afforded ample opportunity for demonstrating his capacity as a progressive man of business. Such a revelation, would go far to, tone down the unfavorable impression created by his coinfection with the mouldy, go as you please, anti progressive system of the Agricultural Board, of which body he constitutes so conspicuous an ornameait. ‘ The Proposed Divergence. We are informed from an authorita tive source that the citizens of Green ville have raised a sum to pay the ex penses of a survey which will settle the length and cost of a divergence to their city of the Carolina, Cumber land Gap & Chicago Railway. In that event President Hagood will send Capt. Kirk to run the line from Wil- liamston via Greenville to Easley: and when the matter is laid before the directors of the road they will be able to consider upon exact figures. If it is expedient to run the road to Greenville, it will certainly go in that direction. Some of those who raise the loudest yells about the proposed divergence did their level best to crip- gie the enteprise at its most critical stage by resorting to legal proceedings to enable them to withhold the amount of subscription they had already promised; now that the road is cer tain to bea fixed fact, they are anxious to tumble aboard just as if nothing had happened. If it is convenient for them to be allowed a place on the road we hope it may be granted; but if not, they have only themselves to blame for throwing away a spletiid opportunity. The Militia. The volunteer Militia of the State should be decently provided for by the Legislature. It is too much to expect these citizens to support the entire expense of their organizations when they are of such unquestioned utility in emergences when law and order can be enforced by no other means. We deprecate a compulsory system, not only because of its ex pense, but because it would force into the ranks our negro population, who had much better be engaged at their legitimate occupations in the cotton and corn fields. What we want is a compact body of four or five thousand volunteers, well drilled and properly disciplined who may be relied on in any emergency to suppress violence and disorder. Whatever may be the reasonable amount necessary to prop erly arm and equip this force, should be ungrudgingly given as it amounts to nothing more nor less than the strengthening of the civil authorities in the discharge of their duty as con servators of the public peace and the , custodians of both public and private j property. If a well digested bill is prepared asking what is reasonable and proper «e feel sure it will be granted.

B. again si Curtis, Defendant. Tragic Death of the Keeper of the Charleston Almshouse. [From the Sunday News.] Yesterday morning about 7 o’clock Mr. John H. Campson, the Master of the City Almshouse, committed sui cide in his room in the Almshouse building by shooting himself with a E istol. The ball enh red the forehead etween the eyes, and death resulted in about three hou \s. Mr. Crampsen, at the time the deed was committed, was alone m his room, but it was gathered afterwards from what he said, that he had stood before the look ing-glass, deliberately pointed the pistol and pulled the trigger which was to launch him into eternity. As -•oon as the report of the pistol was heard, several of the inmates of »ne| institution rushed into the room and found the unfortunate man apparent ly unconscious. Dr. T. S. Grimke was sent for immediately, and when he arrived the patient spoke to him calmly, telling him that he had pur posely committed the act and did not desire any medical aid. The unfor tunate man’s request was needless— the ball had penetrated far into the regions of the bsain, and at 10 o’clock he died. The causes which led Mr. Campsen to take his life, it is thought, are known and are painful to relate. A short time ago a young child was transfer red from the Almhouse to the Orphan- house, and upon being taken into the latter institution was submitted to a physical examination as was the cus tom, and it was found that the little thing had been terribly beaten and bore the marks of cruel stripes from its heaed nearly to its feet. The ma tron of the Orphanhouse promptly no tified the hoard of commissi rners of the condition of the child, and an in vestigation was had, which resulted in the disclosure of the fact that the child had been beaten unmercifully by C ampsen. This fact was at once communicated to the board of com missioners of rhe Almshouse, who, at a meetuig held on Friday, addressed Mr. CtFffipsen a notification that his resignation would be expected by Thursday next. Crushed by the proof of the ciiarges against him and tile certainty of his dismissal, Campsen evidently determined to end his troub les by ending his existence. Deputy-Coroner James C. DeVeaux held an inquest shortly after the death and the jury found the following ver dict: “The said John H. Campsen came to ids death from a gun shot wound, inflicted by his own hand, on the 23d day of June, ls83.” The deceased was born in Hanover, Germany, on May 10, 1840, and came to Charleston in 1854. He was en gaged in mercantile business up to the war, when he entered the Confederate service in the German Artillery. He went with one of the companies to Virginia and there loA an arm. He is said to have been a gallant soldier. He was appointed master of the Almshouse upon the retirement of Mr. W. W. Sale, about three years ago, and no* serious complaints had ever before been brought against his management. He leaves a widow and two children. The Ninth Annual Meeting of the Press Association. ( Columbia Register.) The meeting of the Press this vear will be held at Gaffney City on Tues day, July the 3d. Tickets will be sold to ail members of the Association and their familie* over the various roads comprising the Richmond-Danville combination at one cent a mile each way. An invitation to meet with the North Carolina Presss Association at Asheville lias been accepted, and it has been arranged that after the Asso ciation abjourns the members and the ladies accompanying them will leave Gaffney City at 1:15 p. m., Thursday July 5th, going thence direct to Salis bury, N. C., paying the same rate of fare—one cent per mile. At Salisbury the excursionists will accept the cur tesies of the Western North Carolina Railroad, tendered by President An drews, leaving that point at 11:30 a. m., and going direet to Asheville, crossing the mountaing in daylight. At Asheville the Nortli Carolina Press Association will be met upon its arri val from Wayenesville, and on Satur day a joint excursion will be made to Warm Springs. Any further arrange ments desired cun be made by the As sociation. We are promised a cordial greeting and hearty welcome by our North Carolina friends, and the Executive Committee is satisfied that the ar rangements already made will insure one of the pleasantest meetings ever held by the Association. We presume the courtesies of the Western North Carolina do not, as those of the Richmond-Danville com bination, mean one cent a mile each way, but a free welcome to the press over their route.

Still the fact cannot be disguised that he is a very’ strong candidate. Down in the New England States ic is a foregone conclusion that Ben Butler will be the next President of the United States. His State administra tion is popular among the |>eoi>le. He would carry all the New England States except Vermont and Rhode Island. I think the Republican nom inee for President will be either Janies G. Blaine or Senator Edmunds. Blaine is wonderfully popular in New’ England, as well l r: .
