GOV. CHAMBERLAIN'S SHIBBOLETH The 'Glorious [Fourth lu Georgetown? Speech of au Artful Demagogue. At early dawn of Tuesday morning, we were admonished by the ringing of bells and other noisy demonstrations, that the jubilee of America had come. At 11 a. m., the usual unwashed crowd that celebrates " Independence bay," assembled on Front street, and paraded through the town^with innumeraole ban? ners and hackneyed mottoes. A small company of ragged militia aud several fire companies were conspicuous in the procession. Extraordinary preparations had been made to arouse enthusiasm, and collect a crowd; but year after year the number diminishes. Even the anticipated pres? ence of Gov. Chamberlain, with the Cen? tennial Brass Band and a big dinner, failed to bring forth the full strength of the "party." Greenwich, in the suburbs of the town, I was the spot selected for the exercises, 1 and thither we repaired, but too late to I hear the declaration read. Gov. Cham-1 berlain was introduced by Senator W. H. I Jones, and alluded briefly to the. separa-1 tion of the colonies from the mother I ' country. His attention was principally I directed to party issues. He arraigned I the Democratic party for its failure to develop a true republican government in I America; lauded the Republican party as the only agency whereby the true I spirit of the Constitution has been in-1 terpreted, the instrument itself vitalized, I ana become a living reality. He declaimed eloquently and continu- j ously upon that familiar text of the Rad? ical party, "all men were created free and equal." He asserted with emphasis that the framers of the constitution, in that undistributed "all," included the j negro as well as the Anglo Saxon race, j This text had not, till within the last sixteen years, been correctly interpreted, j HeNcharged the nation, and the Demo- j cratic party particularly, with having acted a lie for the last eighty-four years, i ' Since the Republican party came into power, in national affairs, sixteen years ago, they alone had promulgated the'true j meaning of the text, by abolishing slave- j ry, arming the negro with the ballot, and J placing them on an equality before the j law with the balance of creation. The j Governor emphasized the following as-1 sertion: Of the two alternatives, a free j ballot or a good ballot, give me a free I ballot always!" He argued at length j the necessity of universal suffrage as the only path to true political progress. It j matters not how ignorant the voter, it became a political necessity that he be j armed with the means for his protection. I In conclusion, he announced himself as a candidate for re-election for Gover-1 nor of South Carolina, and plead with his party the necessity of remaining a ] unit in the coming election. Did he consult his own feelings he would throw off the burden of responsibility of office I , that rested upon his shoulders, and re? turn to the peaceful pursuits of a private citizen; but the reform movement had ] been inaugurated under his leadership, and he would abate nothing of effort till he raised the Republican party to a] higher plane of purity and respect. The Governor said many good things, j and said them eloquently; some things he said foolishly, that would not bear the test of truth; but his audience, made up of about one thousand negroes, was ig-1 norant, and it suited them. Just a week ago, Gov. Chamberlain | stood on the rostrum of one of our col-1 leges in South Carolina and delivered a brilliant oration before two literary so? cieties ; he was there by virtne of his intellect and his matchless power of el?-1 cation, the cynosure of all eyes; to-day he stands on the stump before, an igno? rant, prejudiced multitude of negroes, the impersonation of a graduated dema- j gogue. -~v-^ - ^ I verily, his versatility is without paral? lel. Of his g enius, literary culture and fine personal appearance, there can be no doubt; we would be delighted to know'that the inside of the platter were equ ally as fair. The Governor challenged his audience to find just fault with nis administrative acts. We have no doubt that he has done many good things in the interest of good government; but we j submit the question, why did he not play I the role of reformer as attorney-general ? He knew then, as well as he does now, that the State had become the prey of corrupt officials, and yet he opened not his mouth. Had he acted as vigorously while attorney-general as he does now, the tide of corruption would have been stayed.?Georgetown Time?. THE GUBERNATORIAL QUESTION. Gen. Bntler Declines and Nominates I . Gen. Hampton for Governor. Edgefteld, S. C, July 4th. I Editors Journal of Commerce : A correspondent of your paper wasl kind enough a few days ago to suggest my name as a candidate for Governor of South Carolina, before the approaching Democratic Convention. This partiality of some friend may have no further sig-1 nificance than a personal- kindness, and may not be of sufficient importance to the public, to justify a formal declination on my part; but as I have an ulterior purpose in this communication, to wit. the suggestion of another name, you will permit me to say, that whilst it is gratify-1 ing to have one's name even remotely j mentioned as a candidate for so dignified and exalted a position, I cannot, under any circumstances, consent to become a candidate or accept a nomination for any office in the gift of the people. I have now the independence of thought, action I and conduct which attaches to a private I station, and I do not propose to surrender it by aspiring to any political preferment, and my dnty to the State does not require me to do so, jrhilst there are many dis? tinguished men who are equally or better qualified to serve her than myself, and I can better afford to make the necessary sacrifices. Experience has satisfied me that we have but one course to pursue, so far as the general State ticket is concerned, to deserve and achieve success, and that is, to nominate for Governor one of our most prominent, patriotic and popular countrymen, reinforced by our strongest and best men on the general ticket. That man, in my judgment, is General Wade j Hampton, and the ticket suggested by your 'correspondent, in connection with my name, would be good enough for me. I have not conferred with General Hampton, and cannot say how far the condition of his private affairs may con? flict with the sacrifices necessary to be made for a successful campaign, but I am quite sure that if he should be assured by his friends that his candidacy is essen? tial to the welfare of the State, he will now, as he has in the past, place himself in the line of duty. Commendation of him at my hands is scarcely to be expec? ted, and certainly is not necessary, furth? er than to say, that he can more com? pletely than any other man reconcile whatever discordant elements there may be in the Democratic party of South Carolina, and this is a sufficient reason why he should be nominated. Yours very respectfully, M. C. BUTLER. ? How would you like to be one of the wine judges at the Centennial Exhi? bition?

In view of the Presidential election in November, the State elections which will precede it will be looked to with interest. The following is the order of these elections: 1. Kentucky, on the first Monday in August. This election will be for mem? bers of the Legislature and Circuit Judg? es. The Democrats are making active preparations for the election, but so far the Republicans indicate a purpose to allow the canvass to go by default. 2. North Carolina, on the first Thurs? day in August. In this State the Demo? crats have put a full ticket, in the field, headed by Ex-Governor Z. B. Vaneo for the Governorship. The republicans will nominate a State ticket on the 12th inst., and it is supposed Judge Settle, a former captain in the Confederate Army, will head the ticket. In 1872 Caldwcll, the Republican candidate, was elected Gov? ernor by a majority of 1,899, while Grant's majority for President the following No? vember was 23,904. Now, the Demo? crats are making an active canvass, and claim Vance's election by 15,000 or 20, 000 majority. 3. California, on the first Wednesday in September. This election is for mem? bers of the General Assembly and mem? bers of Congress. The parties are pretty equally divided, each claiming the victo? ry, and an exciting contest is predicted. 4. Vermont, on the first Tuesday in September. This election is for State officers and members of the General As? sembly, and as the State is overwhelm? ingly Republican, the only interest at? taching to the election will be in noting the relative loss and gain of the two par? ties. 5. Maine, on the second Monday in November. Here a State ticket will be elected, and there seems to be no doubt of the re-election of Gen. Seiden Con? ner, Republican, the present Governor. 6. Georgia, on the second Tuesday in October. Gen. A. H. Colquitt is likely to head the Democratic lacket for the Governorship, whose election is predicted by 75,000 majority. As yet the Repubj licans have not indicated a purpose ti contest the field. 7. West Virginia, on the second Tues? day in October. This election embraces a State ticket, members of the Legisia ture and members of Congress. The Democrats are already in the field with a State ticket, headed by Hon. A. M. Mat? thews, present Attorney General, for the Governorship. The Republicans will nominate a State ticket during the latter part of the present month. The Demo? crats claim that all their dissensions are healed, and that they will carry the State by a large majority. 8. Ohio, second Tuesday in October. In tliis State a State ticket, with the ex? ception of Governor and Lieutenant Governor, will be elected. The Repub? licans claim that.they will carry the State by an increased majority over Hayes' vote in 1876. 9. Indiana, on the second Tuesday in October. .Here a full State ticket will be elected, the Democratic ticket being headed by Hon. J. D. Williams, present member of Congress, for''the Governor-' ship, and the Republican ticket by Hod. Godlove S. Orth, late Minister to Aus? tria. Indiana promises to be the battle? ground preparatory to the Presidential onset in November, and both parties will put forth their best efforts to secure the ascendancy. 10. Iowa, on the second Tuesday in . October. This is a Republican State, and may be expected to cast its vote in that direction both in October and No? vember. 11. Nebraska, second Tuesday in Oc? tober. This is also a Republican State. 12. Texas, on the first Monday in No? vember. This State will probably go Democratic by from 75,000 to 100,000 majority, but the election is too near the time of holding the Presidential election to effect it in any perceptible degree.' ? Death of Santa Anna. Our dispatches announce the death of the, veteran General of Mexico, Antonio. . Lopez de Santa Anna. He died in the ? city of Mexico on the 28th ult. Thus has closed a career as chequered as that of the hero of a romance, and ended, perhaps, the most eventful life on this continent during the present century, near the commencement of which his military adventures began. His succes? ses against the royalists gave him the command of Vera Cruz in 1822, but he was dismissed for insubordination and revenged himself by aiding the overthrow of the Emperor Iturbide. In 1828 he overthrew the Pedraza administration and became Minister of War and Com? mander of the Mexican army. He was elected President in 1833. Three years after he took the field in person to sup? press the insurrection in Texas. He was routed by Sam Houston at San Jacinto and taken prisoner. In 1837 he lost his leg at the bombardment of Vera Cruz, by tho French. He was thereafter President until deposed by a revolution in 1845, when he took up his residence in Cuba. In. the following year he was again President, and at the head of the Mexican-army he attacked the American troops under Taylor, and was repulsed, and .again atCerro Gardo by Scott. He was in most of the impor portant battles of the war to its close, when he went to reside in Jamaica. He returned to Mexico in 1853, and was again appointed President. . Deposed by the Alvarez revolution, he removed to Cuba, and afterwards spent two years in Venezuela. He returned to Mexico du? ring the late French invasion, but was banished by Gen. Bazaine in 1864. Max? imilian, however, appointed him Grand Marshal, but in less than a year he was implicated in a conspiracy against the Emperor, and withdrew to St. Thomas. In 1867 he made his last attempt to gain ascendancy in Mexico, but was taken Srisoner at Vera Cruz and condemned to eath. Juarez pardoned him on condi? tion of his quitting Mexico, and he came to the United States. But since the death of Juarez he had been living qui-. etly in seclusion in the City of Mexico, up to the time of his death. It is said he contemplated a journey overland to the Philadelphia Centennial this sum? mer.?Nashville American. Little Children.?People who ha? bitually put children out of their hearts, and close their doors upon them, have no idea how much comfort they set aside, what pleasure, what amusement. Of course, the little creatures meddle with things, and leave the traces of their fing? ers on the wall, and cry and "bother" a little; but, when one gets into the way of it, as most mothers and other loving relatives do, those things become of minor importance. Children say such pretty things, and do such funny things, the touch of their little hands is so soft, the sound of their little voices so sweet, their faces are so pretty, their movements so graceful and comical, the whole family goes baby mad and it is no wonder. No book was ever written that is half as in? teresting as a little child that is learning to talk and to think, that is developing from a tiny animal into a being with a conscience and a heart. ? July 4th, 1876, was a memorable day in the history of the United States. It was the one hundredth anniversary of American Independence, and was cele? brated with magnificent pomp and dis? play in mj?"y portions of the Union, and particularly *iu Philadelphia, where the great Centcnuial Exhibition is in pro? gress It was also noted as the fiftieth anniversary of the death of John Ad? ams, of Massachusetts, and Thomas Jef? ferson, of Virginia, two ex-Presidente of the United States and signers of the Declaration of Independence. They were political opponents, and died on the same dav, just fifty; years after they had signed tne Declaration of American In? dependence together, Raise a Crop of Tnrnlps. v.-No agricultural country in the world produces so few root crops ?s this. In England, on" the land of good farmers, turnips may always be regarded as the leading crop. Turnips come into every system of rotation, and form a part of the regular food of animals. New vari? eties of turnips are in greater demand than new varieties of any other farm crops. When the turnip crop fails there is a general depression in the agricultural districts throughout Great Britain.? Turnips are to England of as great im? portance as potatoes are to Ireland, as corn is to the Northwestern States, or as wheat is to the States on the Pacific coast. English mutton is chiefly the product of turaips;-;and the same is es? sentially true of English beef. Turnips also constitute a large proportion of the food eaten by English laborers. In that country turnips are looked to as a means of preparing the soil for the production of other crops. The turnip is analyzed with a view of ascertaining what manures, can be applied with the best advantage' for increasing the crop. There are various reasons why turnips have never assumed the importance in this country that they have in Great Bri? tain. In the fir?t rlace, our climate is uot as well suited k them. Turnips, to do their best, require a moist and tolera? bly cool climate, not subject to sudden and extreme changes. England has a climate of this kind, but ours is nearly the reverse. We ordinarily have a pro? tracted drought at about the time when the crop requires a large amount of mois? ture. Another reason why turnips are not raised here to a larger extent is that this is the best corn country in the world. We can produce corn at a comparatively small expense, and we use it for the food of all the inferior animals as well as for man. It takes the place of turnips in the old country. Another reason why turnips are not more largely raised is that many fanners have never found out their real vr?ue as. compared with other food crops. . But for all this, for all that, and for all other things, turnips are entitled to vast? ly more attention than they receive. The great mistake in bur system of stock feeding lies in having too small a variety ?of food. To keep up the. fertility of our soil,-'we need to leave off perpetually planting corn and small grain on it,,and introduce occasionally a crop like tur? nips, that will not exhaust the soil. An? other good reason for planting turnips is that ail the work on them may be done at times when there is comparatively lit? tle to do with leading crops. They are planted ordinarily in July, worked in August, and harvested quite late in the tail. The amount of seed required for an acre is only one pound, so that the expense of seed; is trifling, With a seed drill the work of planting is very small. Almost the only hard work about raising a crop consists in the process of trim? ming.?Chicago Times. All Sorts of Paragraphs. ?

There is a delicate and at the same time a very keen and subtle perception of female character in the'remark of a candid observer, who told us the other day that a woman's exclamation of "Ouch?" very often means "Do it again." ? There is too much of this Centen? nial reading. When the fact is disclosed that George Washington had a street fight with a political opponent and was knock? ed down by him just as a common man might have been, it is time to stop search? ing through the old records. ? When a man quits subscribing for a newspaper because it is not enthusiastic for his candidate, and then borrows it regularly from a neighbor, you may be sure that the sterling patriotism that characterized the founders of the Repub? lic has not entirely departed. ?

It is said that if a man is walking for health andenjoyment, four miles an hour is the best gait. This may be true as regards health, but for enjoyment we remember one night when it took us four hours to walk a mile. It happened, how? ever, that the old folks had gone to camp-meeting, and she had the night key, and, as far as health was concerned, we didn't really care if it took all night. ? At Winnebago (Minn.)

The body was perfect, except a Blight crack in the face, probably made in removing it from the grave. ?

Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure and fresh from the bottom of the well. No slime or filth collects on the pump or in the well. No snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities, and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth? er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves the water bevond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at your door to extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Its work? ing gives complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify. It is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relies on its own-merits, upon which it asks your patronage.

"The ANSON HARDY CUTTING MACHINES, are the best and cheapest low priced machine made, and have a national reputation for utility and du? rability."?{The Electro-typer, Chicago.) "Tbo ANSON HARDY PAPER CUTTER Is by far the best machine which can be obtained for a less price than one hundred dollars. It is of great Btrength. "These machines have always taken the highest stand. It is the only machine to which is applied the patent Movable Cutting Board. This device has a reputation of itself; by it, the cutting board can be instantly and accurately moved, so that a perfect cut is insured. This Is a very important point in this machine, and one that is possessed by no other. It greatly reduces the labor of preparation in work? ing the paper backward and forward. We cannot too strongly recommend the advantages of this pat? ent movable board. It is worth the price of this machine, and purchasers should fully understand how highly it la to be valued."?(RowelPs & Co.'a Monthly Reporter and Printer's Gazette.)
