E. II. MURKAY, Editor. THURSDAY HORNING, AUG. 21, 1879. The military review whic'a is to tal:* place on next Thursday :n Anderson promises to be very larg? ly attended from all portions of tho County. Gov. Simpson, Gen. Mofeo, aud perhaps other distinguished speakers, will address the meeting after the review. The ladies are especially invited to be present. Tho reported death of Mrs. Kellie Bar tons, formerly Miss Nellie Grant, put nil cf the Grant organs in this country into a bereavement which waa too gush ing to bo sincere. Tho next day's cable, however, informed us that it was a dif ferent Mrs. Bartorls, and Titmce this little ruso to ute the supposa death of an ex cellent lady as a Means of stirring up a sympathy for Gen. Grant, which might help to put him in the White House again, has had tho whole bottom knock ed out of it. 8enator Conkling proposes io devoto bia entire time in the next Scnato to the extermination of the shot gun policy from tho society and politics of this day. He will henceforth be mo.'c vigorous than ever in denouncing the South for ? introducing into the nineteenth century ' Buch a barbarous policy of enforcing ono's wishes. Ho will speak from experience on this question, for tho intolerable evil has cxtcuded even into loy-1 little Rhode Island herself, and the consequential Senator from New York, with bi' turkey gobbler strut, has been made tho victim of the Mississippi plan by ex-Governor I Sprague, who drove the pompous Senator j from his bouse at the muzzlo of an un civilised shot gun. Not long ugo Senator Conkling had a I difficulty in tho Senate with Senator | Lamar, who charged bir i with falsehood. Ou that occasion ho said : "Nothing ex cept tho fact that this is thc Senato would prevent my denouncing him as a blackguard and a coward. Tho mica and proprieties of the Senato are tho only restraint upon me." A few days. since he had a difficulty with ex-Senntor I Sprnguo of Rhoda Island, tho particulars of which are given on another pago. In that instanco he thought : "Nothing ex cept tho fact ttijiy you bavo a shot gun would prevent ray staying in your honso I despito your command to depart. Tho rules and proprieties of action in tho presenuv of a double-barrol shot gun are the only restraint upon my longer so journ hero." Unfortunately, howover, for Ic.-coo thoro is always somotbing I which j -oventa bim from doing anything j good or bravo. His recent exploits will probably give his Presidential aspirations | a very black oye indeed, and wi ii possi i bly exert a considerable influence against j his power and control in New York. Tho Abbeville Idediuny says il is ru mored that nn effort will bo mado to rn peal tho charter of the Savannah Valley Railroad at tho next session of tho Leg islature, but does not Bay from whom lt will originate Will our contemporary bo so good aa to announce what member of tho Legislature proposes to introduce tho bill for repeal? Perhaps, however, his rnf^de??; will prevent him from telling that ho himself is t' o man selected to carry out this undertaking, oven if it should be true. It may be unpalatable news for our contemporary, but ho hod ns well learn it before ho grows any oidor, and therefore wo volunteer to in form him, that, tho charter will not bo repealed, and tho road will bo built. The Medium did not believe any tax would bo voted to build the Savannah Valley Railroad, and is much chagrined at tho result of the election on this sub jed. Itisj however, too Into now, and friend Hcmphill bad na well nttend to somo other business instead of meddling with a matter over which ho has no con trol, and in which ho boa no interest. HU suggestion that the road should ran by Abbeville will undoubtedly be left to es pouse its own cause without any follow ing, except of mon like himself, who have no vote cr influence on tho subject. Ho proposes to effect this, change, also, byan amendment of tho charter, Wo like Abbeville, bat cannot seo the advantage of runnlug another railroad thoro. Ouo ia enough to do tho entire buslne* of tho i place. When it grows to tho importance of Anderson it will bo soon enough to talk about building another railroad to it. m . Tho Joint Summer Meeting of the J oiL.l? ?,_(_."-:".?- -.?J ai.u ovava ilgutuiiuini ?_ii_?w.LL% c.uIA . ijuUj Orango, which convened in Chester on j Tuesday, tho 18th inst., was well attend ed by representatives from tho different sections of?the State, and was throughout a most pleasant and profitable meeting. On the first day addresses of welcomo r. ero delivered by Hr. T. O. Gaston, on ' tho part of the town Council of Chester, | r.nd by Mr. Sanders, on tho part of tho Pomona Grange , of : Chester' County, which were responded * to by Col. J. N.

We hope soon to bo able lo lay these essays beforo our reader*, and canassovo thW/thl^j$lf repay a careful wading in tho pleasure and profit the/ will afford. The third day :u&sion of *cvor?l tho ?gricaltsjtfll in prombjent among t of railroads and i, which elided, cs o upon the fJZvV roent. Inv'.catiotia vero recked from ieLcm. .tnJ WilVsrrr-d agit?e of tho two bctd sevml impor tant sessions during this meeting for the consideration of important business, and at noon on Thursday both bodies ad journed. The c'tiicns of Chester throughout the entire meeting accorded th?. visitera ? most cordial welcome and hospitable entertainment, affording them every pleasure which couutcsy or atten tion could bc?tow. The town is a most enterprising and prosperous one, with a steady and substantial growth. All who were presant at thia meeting wil1 remem ber the occasion and tho peoplo of Ches ter'with a pleasure which will tralee them more than ready to revisit the place whenever another opportunity pre sents itself. The Abbeville ??ulium continues its attack upon Governor Simpson in it? lost issue by a flank movement os well qa a charge in the fr;1 it. Tho direct blow is sought to be delivered upon the phos phate line, while tho flank ?B fought on the watchword of "down with idolatry." AU that the Medium says about tho evils of hero worship, in tho abstract, wo en dorse, for wo feel that tho undue praise of one man tends to dwarf public senti ment and to control that freo expression of opinion in tho discussion of public questions, which is necessary for tho full enlightenment of thc peoplo and for the prevention of undue combinations by which thc government is run in thc in terest of a few. Tho dangers from an unconditional surrender to tho control of any or,o man rmmot bo over-cstimntcd, but i i its fear un this subject the Medium fai'tf into tho pit on tho other Bide, and, us soon as n man brgbis to gain public favor, constitutes itself as n committeo of one to prevent tho peoplo fi*om worship ping him. In tho discussion of this sub ject tho Medium bas seen proper to de scend to personalities, ns follows : "Ever Bince the campaign of 187G, servico to Hampton bas been tho mensuro of n man's fidelity to party, and so it is now -unquestioning support of Governor Simpson is mude tho (cst of one's obedi ence to law. There is lots of sentiment in such a course of conduct, but thero is not a bit of manhood." That Governor Hampton occupied ar, unusually promi nent position in this State is true, and is accounted for in tho fact that bo nccom plisbed nti unusual victory, for which our peoplo would have becu ignoblo ingrates had they not returned proper respect and esteem. Their action was nothing ni re, however, thou self-respect required. Governor Hampton did not control tho State, but failed to carry out sumo of bis mos. cherished plans, becnuso tho people differed with him i.i opinion, as on tho Bond and University questions, for in stance. Tho allusion to Governor Simp son is entirely gratuitous, for thcro has boon nothing like hero worship for bim. He has gono along quietly performing bia dulles, and has not sought display in any manner whatever. Tho only com mendation ho has received is that which has como up spontaneously, and ia based entirely upon his ofilclal acts. We have differed with thc Gcvornor upon soveral questions, and expect to talco different views of othor questions from those he entertains, but that is not sufficient ground to justify an unreasonable and discourteous tirado against him. Tho Medium has never been satisfied with any Governor, and probably never will bo. In fact, none of tis aro likely to bo pleased with every act of n publia man, and it is bigoted to abuso a good man becauso ho docs not suit you in ono thing when, por haiis, ho has pleased you in a dozen othcra. In forming our opinion of pub lie mon it ia necessary for us to tnko thom on an average, nod, viewed in this light, wo venture thoasserlion that tho admin istrotion of Governor Simpsou is aa good as any wo havo ever lind in South Caro lina. The Msdiuzi also announces tba there aro no great men in South Carolina and from its course wo aro satisfied that our friend at least finds some "?tisfactlon in thia discovery. It evidently wants our State to romain dovoid of great caen for, as Boon as an? ono renches prom i ncuco and success our contemporary im mediately begins tho work of trying to pull him down. If on the contrary tho effort should bo to build up instead of pulling down, perhaps wo would And that thoro aro soma groat mon in South Carolina yet. The caviling and fault finding which is dono by annie oelf-con Btituted political critics in this Stnto tends to drive our greatest mon into tho private pursuits of Ufo, becauso thoy know that no prominence can bo attained without tho most wholesale misrepresen tatton and abuse. AK U?EOBTAST DISCOVERY. 1'rof. Blbikov, who baa been in South i Carolina : for some timo past, recently published a card in which he announced tho discovery of lignite beda, or as he tormo thom, beds of brown coal, in the lower part of tho Stnto, which he claimed would bo useful for fuel, and from which a good quality of gas could bo made. Upon the appearance of thia card, Prof. Holmes, of Charleston, carno out in a| reply, denying tho existence of auch an article, and going into tho geological ! formation of tho Slate to prove tho cor ^.fltnesa of . tho positions bo assumed ; but bv far bis moat rcliunco was placed ! ou the argument that those coal beda could not exist, becauso'no local 8cler.tist had ever discovered them-^or in other words, becauso a native Routh Carolina ?dentist from tho city of Charleston did not first proclaim their existence. Tho j card of Prof. Holmes was gratuitous and iii exceedingly bad taste. He .was not concerned ona way or another by rrof. Biblkov's card, And it was pedantic nod egotistic fot him to have meddled in the I matter. Moreover, it mayturn ont that} he has not even added to bia reputation for, knowledge iii sotanee, while ho baa, certainly decreased his claim to courtesy J by his card, for from the following arti clo. taken from tho Columbia liegislcr, it seems that the claim to the discovery of lignito will not down, even at the bid ding of BO self-reliant cud imperious a scientist ata Prof., Holmes : Dr. Bibikov yesterday performed an int?rcs?ug. exp?riment?t;the. store of Mr. A. Palmer, which 'waa witnessed by several gentlemen. .This was the making ^iond'burning of gas. from ?the lignito or brown coal which he brought from the plantation of Mr. Hammond, in this State. - He placed a smaU quantity of tho lignite in a retort, which ho afterwards fenced in a furnaco and heated red hot.. A nb gas then, in a few moments, came out of tho end of a pipe attached to the' retort, nud on a match being applied to it burned witji a. bright, clear, steady flnmlh The apparatus was only an im provised one, tue retort being one which tho Professor had been Using to purify mercury, and very small, holding only about four ounces, but it proved that there was gas in tho lignite, and that the gas would burn. It also proved that tho lignito will burn, for when tho retort was opened it was found that most of it was consumed and the remainder was still on Oro. These aro very important facts much moro important 'JO poor old South Cnrolina" i? n busin'jss sehne than the abstract question whether thc "tjtulf" be longs to the tertiary formation, or how long it will tako tho Mississippi Uiver to make a conl bed r ut of floating timber, or whether this bt ' -va? discovered by a "Charleston scientist" or some other mull, Tho only remaining questions now arc, how much of it is there, and what will it cost to placo it on tho mar ket? The question asked at tho conclusion of tho Registcr'a articlo is tho ono of in terest now, and will no doubt be fully in vestigated. If it should prove to bo nn extensivo bed, very great advantages may flow to all of our State from the produc tion of cheaper fuel und lights. Wo havo no doubt that every assistance will be rendered Prof. Uibikov, and Mio dis covery he thinks ho has mad. will be either confirmed or exploded by practi cal investigation instead of by tho stroke of a haughty Charleston scientists' pen.

DEATH OF J. S. G. RICHARDSON, ESQ. -Tho death of J?me3 6. G. Richardson, Esq., which occurred nt tho Rockhridge Alum Spring?, Virginia, on Monday night last, will be received with deep and universal regret by the bench, the bar and all the people nf South Carolina. Mr. Richardson had filled tho highly im portant position of State Reporter, with the intermission of four years, whet, tho office rf hi ulled MY <J nuleri M. olruuimrt, Esq., for thirty-four years. Publishing his first reports in 1846, he was succeeded in 1846 by Mr. Strobhart, but again re sumed its duties on re-election In 1850, and has continued evor since, through evt/y vicissitude of war, revolution aud tv ...leitrating misrule, the Reporter of South Carolina' decisions of Law and Equity. He has reported thirteen vol-, umes of cases in E-juity iu the "Old Equity" series, and fourteen volumes of tho "Old Law Reports." Nine volemos of his "Now Serlos" have been pub lish?!, and the tenth ia now iu the hands of the printers. - Thc position of the Republican par ty on the subject of secession was em phatically indicated by Wendell Phillips, who announced at a great Republican mass meeting in 1861, wi ;ro Abraham Lincoln waa present, that "We have la* bured fur iwoiitj* year? to drive ino "ti teen slave Slates out of .tho Union, and thank God It is accomplished." Tildcu Warned. WASHINGTON, August 15. It is reported arnon" Democratic poli ticiauH here that Mr. Springer, of Illi nois, in hi* apparently Irank interview, wbicli waa telegraphed some days ago from here, adroitly concealed the moat important part of a conference between leading Western Democrats and Mr. Til den, of which Mr. Springer was, it is said, a part. A prominent Western Democrat who passed through Washing ton several days ago told a friend, in con fidence, that the object of llnscbhfcren.ee of Western men with Mr. Tilden was *o say to liim that unless ho could in son.. way harmonize the party in New York, and carry that State this fall, they-these Western men, who are, like Mr. Springer, friendly to Mr. Tilden's nomination next yen?-would he compelled to drop him and take up a Western candidate. They explained to him that the plan which he privately put forth last spring, to lose tho State of New York this fall, hut carry it next year, would not auswer. They told him that while they had no intention of interfering in New York politics, and did not mean to favor or o?'pose Tammany or }.oti-Tammany, and ni fact thought very well of Governor Robinson, they were forced to declaro unequivocally tba*, if Mr. Tilden failed to carry his State in ? the coming election, that would compel them, in spite of their friendship for him, lo give up all idea of his nomination next year, because in their opinion tho Democratic party could not aflord to risk its success by clinging to a candidate who, whatever his merits or claims, could not secure harmony and success in bia own State. If New York is lost this fall, they said, it must be reckoned as at least an .incertain State next year, and it wt td in that caso bo safer to take a Wintern candidate and concentrate effort on Western States. It would be easy to carry Ohio and Wisconsin with Ewing, in case he is elected this year, or Illinois with Judge, now Senator, Davis ; and unless Mr. Tilden could so harmonize the Democratic factions in New York this fall as to carry that State, not by a close majority of threo or four thousand, but hy so large a majority as would make the Stato sure for next year, they assured hi.i that he would have to be counted out for next year, and that they, though they were his friends, would have to take that ground publicly and before tho peo ple about him. It was added by the Western Democrat that Mr. Tilden received this admonitiou in silence; but that the Western men took caro to communicate what they bad ?aid to him in confidence to Reveral of Mr. Tilden's supporters in New York, upon whom it is said to hnve made a profound impression. This report bas created a good deal of interest in tho Democratic circles hero, where Senator Thurman, Gen. Ewing and Senator Davis have moro friends than Mr. Tilden. It was sa'.d by a promiuent Democrat to your correspondent that bo thought Mr. Tilden would now give up Governor Robinson and taite up another candidate, or perhaps allow Mr. Kelly to nominate any man he may prefer ; and the action of the Democratic State committee of New York, which is to meet to-day, will, it is hero thought, show whether Mr. Tilden means to stand out and fight for control or whether ho will surrruder.

MARRIAGE OF WADE HAMPTON, JR. -The Louisville Courier-Journal, of Au gust IS, nu j ?: Yesterday afternoon, at Grace Church, Mr. Wade Hampton, Jr., of Mississippi, and Miss Kate O.
