Our Country has Nothing to Cain
by an English anti Russian
War.
Much has been recently said about
the gsiu that the United States would
make from a war between England
and Russia, but upon an examina
tion of most of the important interests
i»/olved, we fail to see how any thing
else than misfortune can result to us.
In the first place, reference is fre
quently made to the privateering that
Russian citizens will carry on against
Rritish Commerce; and it is suggested
that an extra Session of Congress lie
called to change the present navi
gation laws, so as to allow our
people to quietiy get possession
of the RritisU merchantile ma
rine. Now lias it ever occurred to such
persons that in Isob, all of the promi
nent European Nations abolished pri
vateering, and bound themselves nev
er to revive 4; and in the three great
wars that have afflicted Europe since
that time, in which Austria,Germany,
France, Turkey and Russia have been
Involved, no attempt was made on
the part of any one of them to issue a
letter of marque? And is it not un
reasonable to suppose that after the
ftotuul outbreak of war, England
would permit Russia to repudiate her
treaty obligations of 18oG; and that
pbe would recognize her letters of
jtiarque? It is far more probable that
England will regard every privateer
as a pirate, and as soon ns captured,
hang him to tho yard ariq. Russia
cannot dq much in the way of repri
sals, as England will certainly have
practical control of the Seas. At the
flnjt qutbreal^ of war sl|e will block
ade the entrance to the Baltic and
lllack Seas, and also the few Russian
ports in Siberig; and the Russian
pruisers will hav e n° ports, at which
fo get coal and supplies.
It is true that Russia may arm a
few swift steamers, and give them a
status in her regular navy as cruisers,
but where she can keep one such ves
sel afloat, England can keep twenty,
pod fhe *1 f .ft of Russia’s few will tp
short. In a war with England,
Russia’s navy will be valueless.
As to the inereased value of otir
breadstuff; we have on hand now a
purpluq twice as large as ever before,
and it is quite possible that England
geline to pay foe our grain any
Ivance in price, as she can
Australia. The South cannot be
refitted, as qur cotton will be de
pressed in price, and our crop will
prsbably fetch $75,000,000 less than it
Would have done In time of peace.
Again to meet the cost of war Eng
land will have to issue a large block
of new consols, estimated at not less
Rian £30,000,000 (or $100,000,000;) all
of which will be taken at home, at
pbout 94 per cent, by investors, who
will return to this Country an eqnal
amount of United Slates Bonds.
This will drain us of that much gold,
pr its equivalent in products.
On the whole we can see no benefit
that can result to us from the war, but
much that mqy be detrimental to
pur interests. We ape too closely
pnited with Europe by bonds of Com
merce, to reap benefit by any exten
sive war that necessarily disrupts all

Then followed the Charleston, Au
gusta and Aiken Sciiuetzeu Clubs.
I he whole procession was under the
command, of President Henry
Halm of the Aiken Scluietzen, who
rode at the head of the procession
upon a large black horse. After
marching through the principal
streets of the Town, the procession
wended its way to the .Schuctzenplatz,
where the companies were soon drawn
up in line in front of the dancing hall,
where they were greeted by a eon-
course of citizens, which included
ladies from Charleston, Augusta and
Aiken. Mr. Walter Ashley, the ora
tor of the day was then introduced by
President Htfhn. Mr. Ashley wef-
comed all present in the name of the
Shuetzen, and delivered in admira
ble style a very neat and appropriate-
address.
He said we should strive to imitate
the pleasure-loving Germans who set
ting apart a brief period in the
springtime for merry making, adhere
io the customs of their fatherland. He
impressed upon his audience the fact
tliat a brief relaxation from the cares
and duties of business life and par
ticipation in such innocent outdoor
amusements as were afforded by a
test were beneficial, not only to heath,
but to the more energetic perform
ance of business thereafter. He al
luded to tlie pleasant intercourse
which had always existed between
the citizens of Augusta and Aiken,
and in this connection said: “We
may well say, Come brothers, come,
let us now be merry together,” for it
is meet that those who have stood by
us in the days of adversity should re
joice with us when the golden light
of prosperity surrounds us.” He paid
a glowing tribute to the memory of
Mr. Clias. Spaeth, of Augusta the
f. u ider c.f both the Augusta and
Aikcii Schuetzen Clubs, who during
the past year has passed away to his
eternal home. In allusion to Charles
ton Mr. Ashley said: “We welcome
the visitors from old Charleston, the
city that has given to South Carolina
so many of her most illustrious sons,
and whose German citizens have ever
been ready to respond to the call of
the State of their adoption and to
laydown their lives, if need be, in her
defence.” His welcome to the visitors
from the North sojourning in our
midst was in every way a felicitous
one, and he concluded with these
E atriotic sentiments of the late Ben
[ill: “Raise high tlie flag of our
fathers, let the Southern breezes kiss
it, let Southern skies reflect it.

THE BALTIMORE BAZAAR.
Immediately aftef Mr. Ashley’s
speech, Mr. Alex. Melehers, In behalf
of the Charleston Schuetzen,addressed
the Aiken Schuetzen in German, pre
senting to them a handsome bronze
clock. In reply President Hahn
thanked the Charleston Schuetzen for
their good wishes and their beautiful
gift.
The speaking having been con-
eluded, a bountiful collation was
partaken of and the next feature of
the day was a tilt between the Rich
mond Hussars and the Edgefield
Rangers. This was much enjoyed by
all present, especially our Northern
visitors. The Rangers score was 21G
points the Richmond Hassars 170
points. In consequence Orderly
Sergt. H. A. Adams, Sergt. G. B. Pat
terson and Private J. E. Atkinson,
of the Rangers, captured the first,
third and fifth prizes. Messrs. Tur
ner Thomas, Sandford, Gardner and
J. Thomas, of the Hussars, were
awarded the second, fourth ami sixth
prizes. Capt. J. A. Butler command
ed the Rangers, Lieut. Bryan Cum
mings the Hassars, and Col. J. O.
Clark was in command of the Rich
mond Academy Cadets, thirty-seven
in number, the strongest organization
present in the parade.
The day was spent in dancing,
shooting and many outdoor amuse
ments on the platz ground.
Chinese day fireworks were sent up
at 4 o’clock. This was a new feature
and attracted much attention.
Tlie following was the result of the
team shooting:
Richmond Hussars, points 71,
prize, silver pitcher; Palmetto Rifles
and Edgefield Rangers, points, each
G7, prize, silver castor and silver syrup
stand; Clinch Rifles, points 66, prize,

In the evening the large dance hall
was brilliantly illuminated by Chinese
lanterns, and the music of the splen

nounced that the bull had commenced,
and the lloor was quickly occupied to
the extent of its capacity by the
votaries of Terpsichore.
At half-past nine the display of fire
works commenced, under the direc
tion of Mr. Win. Turnbull, embrac
ing balloon ascensions, wheel rockets,
sky rockets, different colored lights
and a variety of other beautiful dis
plays, all of which at forded intense
delight to young and old #like.
The Schuetzen ball of 1885 was cer
tainly a most brillaint allair, and our
German fellow-citizens have reason to
feel pleased at the gratifying success,
which has attended their entire pro
gramme forjthe Schuetzeufest of iSNo.

Effort to Exclude Polities from
Charleston Custom House.
Washintox, April 18.—A South
Carolina delegation, which called on
Cleveland to-day, raised a novel
[mint in the matter of the distribution
of Federal patronage. The delegation
consisted of business men from
Charleston, representing the commer
cial organizations of that city. They
were accompanied by Senators Hamp
ton and Butler, who, however, were
only present to introdue them, taking
no part in the interview further than
that. The spokesman of the delega
tion informed the President that the
Congressional delegation of South
Carolina had endorsed Mr. A. H.
Mowry for the position of Collector of
the port of Charleston. This they called
to protest against They said that
in their opinion the time had come
when politicsshould be separated from
important Federal positions of this
character, and they wanted the good
work of reform inaugurated in South
Carolina. They said tlie duties of the
office required a man thoroughly in
formed in commercial rather than
political matters. For the place they
recommended Capt. Legarc J. Walker,
a business man. The two Senators
stood by and heard the severe things

going to the White House the dele
gation had a similar talk with Secre
tary Manning. Both officials recog
nized the importance as well as nov
elty of the points made and argued,
and said that their recommendation
would have the fullest consideration.

Baltimore, April 15.—The bazaar
for the Confederate relief fund, which
has been open in this city for tlie past
ten days, closed to-night. It
was in every way successful, and
yielded over $25,000. The money is

The Columbia Register says: W. P.
Curtis was shot and killed in 1|t ‘ Ca
tawba Hotel at Lanoaster, last .Sun
day evening, by Cnarles Emanuel, of
Jleunettsville. The shooting was the
result of a dispute concerning the loss
pf twenty or twenty-five dollars by
Emanuel, when the two men were in
Wiunsboro together recently, and
Emanuel accused Curtis of having
taken tlie money from his pocket.
Curtis was employed In the ice fac
tory in this city about three years ago,
and afterwards kept a Market street
bar-room, in which business he made
6 had reputation. He was subse
quently employed in the ice factory
won by Major Theodore Dehon, the
general travelling agent of the News
and Courier.
Thus ended the first days festivities
which were participated in by a large
crowd, who enjoyed every thing with
out confusion or accident.
Thursday, 10th of April and
The Second Day
of the Schuetzen, dawned as auspi
ciously as the preceeding day, and by
10 o’clock the platz was resorted to by
a large number of pleasure-seekers.
The day was spent in dancing, shoot-
ng, bowiing and strolling about the
beautiful and shady grounds of the
platz. The following was the result
of the shooting:

The Caucus System.
Camden Journal.
We deeply regret that Senator But
ler, for whom we have the highest re
gard and respect, both as a man and a
statesman, should have suggested or
fathered any such system of appoint
ing Federal office holders as that
adopted by the caucus plan. 'We
equally rejoice that Senator Hampton
refuses either to indorse or partici
pate in any such system. We have
carefully looked into the matter and
so far we have been unable to dis
cover anything in it save a shirking
of reponsihility, and in very many
cases the appointment to office of
men who are not acceptable to their
constituents. In saying this we mean
to reflect unkindly upon no one,
for surely we have no axe to grind in
any appointments, but tiiere is a cer
tain responsibility devolving upon us
which requires a careful scrutiny, and
which should not be carelessly taken.
The caucus olan bears in it a leaven
of swapping and trading, not to be
approved of by any one asking for a
position, and to check it is a very ma
terial matter of interest to us. The
plan throws upon each representative
a chance, and a power to exchange
with his colleagues a weak vessel for
a stronger one, provided they can
eventually tally or agree. The con
sequence is that the load of official
duty is shifted, and the dead shot of
“you do this and I will do that,”
mounts high over duty and
tion.

ConcealcMl Weapons.
Pickens Sentinel.
Tlie Courts and the Press of the
State are waging a vigorous cam
paign against the convenient pistol.
It is rapidly assuming the appearance
of a war of extermination. They give
no quarter and take no excuse. A
woman in the witness box at Barn
well made a scathing, laconic and
truthful criticism on the practice of
carrying concealed weapons, when
she said : “M3’ husband does not car
ry a pistol; ho is no coward.”
More legislation on the subject will
be asked for at the next session of the
General AssenibH-. Mr. Davie, of
Chester thinks that the present law
against concealed weapons is suffi
cient, but lie thinks there should be
in each 00111113’ a sworn attorney,
whos Q duty it should be, to prosecute
all offenses against the penal stat
utes and fines imposed. Mr. Davie
will introduce a bill to this effect next
winter. He proposes for the 00111113’
attorne3* to prosecute all cases in
which the punishment does not ex
ceed tliirtN’ da3*s in jail or a fine of one
hundred dollars; and will also pro
pose to reduce the offence of t-ariwing
conceal weapons to the jurisdiction of

DISSOLUTION OF COPART

Tlie copartnership heretofore exist

interest of Mr. John E. McCracken
having been purchased by Mrs. Jessie

large stalks, long limbs, leaves very
broad, of dark green color; bolls very
large, some six inches in circumfer
ence; seeds large, white, gray or dark
green; strong, spreading roots; four to
five locks in boll; lint long, lustrous,
creamy white; thirty-five choice or
fifty’ average bolls will make one pound
seed cotton. This cotton has long,
deep, spreading roots, which give it
wonderful power of resisting drought,
and, consequently, rust. It is not
beaten out by wind or rain; hence, I
claim that it is almost absolutely
drought-proof, rust-proof and storm
proof. It yields from twenty to fifty
per cent, more than any’ other. It is
well adapted to either upland or bot
tom. Easily picked; a hand can pick
fifty’ per cent, more in a day.
The following is the resufi^B thir
teen test plats grown on th^^Bposi
tion grounds at Atlanta^
Harden, supefiutendeut a^vulture
for the Exposition.
William T. Hhrden’s plat was the
only one planted in Duncan’s Mam
moth Prolific Cotton seed. The other
plats were planted in the best itn-
S roved seeds that could be had, viz..
ones’ Long Staple Prolific, Ozier’s
jjjilk, etc. Read the result:

This was certainly a fair test, as the

This cotton is endorsed by the fol
lowiito? gentlemen: Hon. J. T. Hen
derson, Commissioner Agriculture,
Georgia; Hon. S. E. Cockrill, Arkan

Hon. George L. Walton, Louisiana;
and five hundred others.
Highest yield per acre, 6,590 pounds
seed cotton ; highest yield per acre in
1884, 1,089 pounds lint cotton.
Mr. Magregor, of Dallas, Ga., pro
duced on one stalk in 1884, two pounds
seed cotton, which matured 118 bolls.
I have about 150 bushels of these
very fine seed, selected with a view,
to planting, which I am selling for

Excursions up the Ashley
TO THE GARDENS AT MAGNOLIA-ON-
THE-ASHLEY!
It is generally conceded by travelers
that a Southern Trip is incomplete
unless it includes a visit to the an
cient “City by the Sea”—Charleston,
with its quaint architecture, historio
reminiscences and beautiful surroun
dings. During the months of MarcA— J
and April the beautiful Gardens at
Magnolia, and many other historio
ami attractive spots ou the Ashley
River, are well worthy of a visit by
the tourist passing through Charles
ton, as well us by its citizens. In order *
that all may avail themselves of this
opi>ortunity at very little expense or
loss of time in making the trip, the
South Carolina Railway Co. having
the exclusive privilege of landing
passengers at the Gardens, will, as
heretofore, conduct a Special Passen
ger Train Service between Charleston
aud Magnolia Gardens via Ten Mile
Junction and Lambs, with a steam
ferry crossing the Ashley to the Gar
dens.
Commencing March 9th, Trains
will leave Line St. Station every
Week Day, during the season, on the
following schedule:
