Duncan, ol' Union, Railroad Com missioner in the place of the late ex (?overuor Jeter. Col. Duncan is ap pointed a-? a representative of the Agri cultural interests of the .Sate, and bis representative capacity is evidenced by the fact that he is President of the Agricultural and .Mechanical Association of the Stntc. Co!. Duncan will mate a good Commissioner, but we think the ellice ought to have beeen given to ono of the upper counties. The Orangeburg Taws mut Democrat asserts that Mr. Randall will certainly get one, and probably three, of thc live Democratic Congressional votes from South Carolina. This announcement awakens numerous ncwupaper enquiries ns to the names of the men who will vote for Randall, but so far none have been forthcoming. We do not think, Oldina rily, that thc election of Mr. Randall would bc a bad thing ; on thc contrary, we think it would be a very good thing, except?t this particular juncture. Now, it seems to us, that it would be mo.it un fortunate lo elect Mr. Kunda!! Speaker, lor bc is a high protectionist, while thc Democratic party at lurge is fighting a battle for revenue tariir reform. His election would greatly damage Demo cratic prospects for success, if il v.ouid not ruin them. Mr. Randall is an able man, a pure man, and a slauucli Demo crat, but he IB not now an available man. After tho tarin" isstio io settled, Mr. Rc miall will doubtless occupy high position in the Democratic party, but just now it is uot advisable to make bim Speaker. No member from South Curo lina who votes for him will represent tho sentiments of the people of thc State or of the Congressional district bo repre sents. DAMS va. KIMI. The article of Col. Clemson calls atten tion to a subject which is of greut inter est to the people of the section of South Carolina penetrated by the Savannah River and its tributaries-tho obstruction ut Augusta which preveuls the passage of migratory fish. Some years ago quan tities of abad were caught in thc Coun ties of Abbeville, Anderson, Ocoueo and l'ickens, bul oinco tho erection of the Augusta dam this fish is a stranger to our waters. The Augusta dam abuts upon tbe South Carolina bunk of the river, by virtuo of a charter from the L?gislature of this State, which contains thu express condition that thc company obtaining the grant shall maintain good and sutlicient fish-ways. This condition has been and still is flagrantly violated. In 1881 Col. E. II. Murray introduced in tim South Carolina Legislature, and passed through the House of Represen tatives, a hill repealing the charter of the Edgefield Cotton and Woolen Manufac turing Company, and thc acts amenda tory thereof, unless this company elected on or bet?re the Grst of September fol lowing ibo fish-ways provided for in theil charter. When this bill reached the Senate the city of Augusta sent Col. Wm. T. Cary lo Columbia to resist its passage. Cul. Cary and Murray went before thc Judiciary Committee of the Senate, aud argued against and for the bill respectively, after which Col. Gary olTered as a compromise to pay to Cc!. Butler, thc Commissioner ol Agriculture, tho sum necci-snry lo erect a fish-way. Col. lintier was asked for an estimate of cost of erecting tho fish-way, and replied that $1,000 would ho sufficient. Mr. . Murray, thereupon, agreed sot to press ^the hill if the city of Augusta would pay io Coi. initier $1,500 to bo used in building the fish-way, any surplus to be returned to Augusta, and stated that tho friends of the bill claimed that Augusta must keep the fish-ways open, and that if thi;i $1,600 did not afford sufficient fish-ways, the friends of the hill would not bind themselves not to Beek addi tional legislation in the future. Col. Butler informs us that he advertised for bids to put in this fish-way, and tho lowest bid he received was $3,000, so that nothing has as yet been done towards opening up the Savannah River for the passage of fish. We hope the city of Augusta will put up tho balance of the money necessary to complete this fish way without further trouble. If she does not, then it will be incumbent on the South Carolina Legislature to pass the bill which was pending in 1881. Our legislators will not consent to any fur ther compromises, but will insist on such legislation as will either secure good and sufficient fish-ways, or throw the river open on the South Carolina Bide. It is useless for our State to be spending two or three thousand dollars a year for the propagation of fish, when dams are allowed to stand which prevent those fish from reaching whole sections of the State. We cither ought to open up our streams for the passago of fish, or save the money that is being used for their distribution over the State. OHIO ON THE TARIFF. The Democats of Ohio have spoken out plainly and sensibly ou tho tariff question : "Wo favor a tarin* for rovonue limited to the necessities of the government eco nomically administered, and so adjusted In Its application as to prevent unequal burdens, encourage productivo Interest nt home, and afford just compensation to labor, but not to create monopolies," If the National Democratic Conven tion will adopt this utterance upon the tariff, and nominate a ticket in sympathy with it, we believe that an overwhelming triumph can be easily attained. This is the g-nuino Democratic doctrine, and its plain and emphatic re-enuncistion, after so many years of tariff dodging, would arouse an enthusiasm that could not be resisted. It would not only commend itself to all of our citizens, except those whose business is protected at the ex? pense of the people, bnt, what is more, It would commend itself to the pockets of nineteen-twentieths of the American people. As tong as the revenues of the government are raised by custom duties, M low I ar iff will be synonymous Other things remaining the same, with cheaper luxuries ami necessaries of life. Thc people like that, ami will vole for tin party which they believe can ami will give it. In 1874 the Democratic party ol' Ohio did immense damage to the na- 1 tiona! party hy going oil' on tin; Green back craze, under the leadership of ex- ? Gov. Allen, lt is, therefore, but right thal having done so bad a business in I . 1 they should ?.rove themselves worthy of confidence in the councils <>f : tlie party hy assuming so strung, and so just, and so popular a stand us they have taken upon the tarif!'. ' DUItSICY TALKS PLAINLY. F.x-Scnator Darsey, who has just had a 1 genuine Republican vindication in the Star Route Trials, says the following un pleasant things about some (.f his late associates : The intensity of Mr, MavVeauh's ba- 1 tied for mels Bulllclciitly attested hy thc ? fact thal about ii is first exorcise of official power was to inaugurate against nu- a ? scheme of vengeance, Nobody knew i better than MacVeagll ami .tami--' that I had never made n penny out ot the I'osfj Olllco Department, and tbal ma a cent . had ever been paid tu nu- or any ?.ir' | for nie out of thc public treasury. Men absolutely unknown to me, mon whoso occupation was MO vito that I would not | writ?? it here, were brought hero Ly thc prosecutors (hy Attorney (Umoral llrew- 1 ster, Mr. licurgo lHiss, Slr. Merrick and , Mr. Ker, that ia to say) to testily on Um witness stand to what tho proscenium 1 knew to lie absolutely and unqualifiedly . falso. Thc public lut- bi en made to be llovo that 1 have taken from lim Troasu ry millions of dollars. That belief has been brought about liv thc persistent ami continuous charges of misled newspapers. ', Garfield knew it was a lie, Arthur knew it was a lie, MaeVeagh knew il was a lie, Ilrewstor knew lt was a lio, Miss knew it was a HP -all of them, from the stalled ox feeding at the rich trough of accident to tho meanest worm which fed from tho I rofuae a wept from behind him, knew it. was a lie. The man who says these things about Garfield, Arthur and others dined with President Arthur and others after thc presidential election, aud Mr. Arthur accredited him with carrying Indiana for the Republicans by hard work and plenty of money. It ia not strange that ho should complain of the lato treat ment lie has received at the hands of his quondam friends. Commenting ou this lette.- of Dorsey's, tho New York Herald says : Thone are serious accusations. If At torney General ilrowster is guilty of sub ornation of perjury, if Messrs. HI ls?, Merrick and Ker aro guilty with him, they deserve to be bold infnmouH. If ox-Attorney General MueVeagh ?nd ex Postmaster Goneral .lames, out of mero bat red ami malice, misused their power as government ollteers to bring what they know to bo a false and infamous accusa tion against Mr. Dorsey, they have made themsolvus infamous In tho oyes of all upright men. If Gouoral G ar li old and Mr. Arthur permitted this, knowing it to bo unjust and wrong. thov aro no liettor than tho others, lt is woil for all whom Mr. Dorsey thus specifically licenses to make reply. Hillmen will not be held liv tho public a HUtlicicut answor tu such serious accusation**, so responsibly made. If tho men pul in high ullice by the Republican parly have done these things, the party which is ruled by them should bo driven from power, lui entrusting the government to tho hands of very bud men. If they aro not guilty, then the result of the Star Route trials shows that il is impossible lo punish n Republican who has money for robbing the govern ment, ns long as thc Republican party retains tho administration of public affairs. In cither event, tho Slur Route trials have been enough to disgust the voters of tho whole Uulon with the Re publican party and its judicial executive departments. These trials ought to gain thousands of votes for the Democrats in thc approaching elections. Our Fish Supply. FORT HILL, PKNULETON PO., S. C., Jane loth, 1883. Mr. Editor : Many of my co-cit izens of OconcO have, from time to time, talked to mo, asking for informa tion about fish which were nt oue time so abundant in the tri but mies to the Savannah River. Some timo sine? no old gentleman came to mn and said, "When I was a boy I used to come down eves y yea.' with my father and hia wagon to lay in our supply of fish, which was commonly done every year, when the shad and other fish came up. Now, we get no fish. Even catfish, trout, sturgeonf Sec., were cheap in the Savannah if not in tho Seneca." When I first came to Fort Hill, during tho season for the ar rival of migratory fish, the shad were upon the table daily for breakfast and dinner. We got noue now, nor have I seen a shad from the Seneca on my table for the last five years. This to me is a privation, and as much to others. To me, particularly, for having lived many years in Catholic countries, during Lent and two days in every week fish were served. During Lent, wheu animals como out from Winter forego, they arc poor, while fish aro vigorous, &c. The other day I roso horn reading tho accouut of the great French nation, always in advance of all other nations in the march cf civilization and progress. The same cars that brought the mail came freighted with thousands of young ahad for tho rivers ol South Carolina. They were put in the Congarec and other rivers than those tributary to tho Savan nah. My friend, Spencer Baird, U. S. Fish Commissioner, who is an honor to the government, is doing much, and some years since he sent me many thousand of California parr, to he planted in the Seneca. They were delivered to me Christmas week of 1879, the coldest cf tlie Winter of 79-80. They were vigor ous and all went up stream ; not one, to my knowledge, ever returned. Mr. Baird thought they would ault the waters of the Seueca, where those from Canada and Maine would not, those from the Pacific Rivera hoing independent of temperature, the former not. As you know, all migratory fish ascend rivers to spawn, and return after visiting the ocean to the ground where born. Fish migrate in masses. Logan writes, in his Vol. I, that at one period flab came up the Savannah and ita tributaries BO thronged that the backa of the fish pre vented seeing the water. It were useless for fish to be put in those waters, inter cepted by dams, &c. Once over the dam they are lost for over-lose the instinct-and those which come against dams are devoured by voracious species, men in Augusts not excluded. Some years since much was said about render ing the Savannah navigable to commerce. Waters are by Omniscience free carriers, md should be so considered. Hence the var that France has declared against W?mmmrmtMBBanmmuaaima??mmamwmsBmmmautMBmBm that interesting people-thc Heathen Chinee-to whom wc are indebted for tile compatit, gunpowder, ami Many more art? of applied science than we have originated with ail our boasted science. Georgia claims jurisdiction ov< r Cit Savannah to low water mark on the South Carolina side. Does she claim a right to tlic water in thc Seneca? I think you informed me that fi-!* ladders would be supplied, ami we should have its formerly free access to thc ocean, thal vast reservoir where nature revigor?tes lim ?nergie* in food for man. The per dsteuce which (borgia bad shown l>> withholding the passage of fi,h to amJ from thc ocean shows a selfishness intol Liable. Let Georgia move her factories with coal, ol' which she lias bo much Abundance lies at her doon '.'i Alabama which will enrich her State as it has dom Pennsylvania. Hut I lind that I liav< ibused your time, for which I ask yu forgiveness. .Much might be said on lin lubject of ti*>b and fisheries. More <> ibo human species are interested in fisl lian other food. Water, properly plant .il, will give; more food to tho acre that laud can bo made to produce. Th? ichool matter is abroad, ami it may bi .hut Frauce may open lo the world tin navigation of lin- river? lierutofon closed. As Gladstoiiu told the land jwiiers of ireland, "Voil shall be viet roi, that is true, but England is i ur-ri over you/' I do not venture often away from liomi mid see few al Kort Hill, where I have knife and fork and comfortable bed f< my friends.

LANCASTER, DALLAS CO., TKXAS, Juno ?J, 188.'i. Mu. Kin rou: In the iNTELMUENCf of May ii I Kt, I see an extract from a lt ter of Foster Faut to which I wish lu mal a brief reply, not having time to reply detail. While he hits some things clo enough, he very much exaggerates other things. While this is not a par dise for the funner, and a person corni herc without any means may not get start without good luck immediately, j the rich und inexhaustible soil of ll Slato repays the farmer far better lhan t worn-out, red hills of Ibo old Stutes. the prices of things he particularly c larges. I disugree with bini about evei thing being very high here. Corn frequently as low down as 25 cents j bushel, wheat from seventy-five cents $1.20, and other produce in same p. portion. Good hats can be bought lu all the way from seventy li cents up $0; shoes frrom $1.50 up to $4.00 ; gc suits from $5 to $25; good board eau obtained beru from $8 to $15 per mon Washing may bc some higher than the old Slates, but still not so expend as your correspondent would have I people believe. Other points I might answer but ti and space forbids. L. ? BltEAZEAI.E (.'en. Ilugoud and thc Railroad. Gen. Johnson Hagood, President the Carolina, Cumberland (Jap n Chicago Railroad, arrived in our villi last Wednesday morning and remail here, the guest of Senator Butler, us Thursday morning. The special obj of Gen. Ilagood's visit herc WHS to mi arrangements with our tcwr co. oil cancel the mortgage of $12,000, held this town against the Railroad, and cordingly ut a special meeting of I council on Wednesday Gen. Hng< made a formal proposition io dep' 920.000 of second mortgage bonds on entire line in lieu of tho first mortgi of $12,000, and this proposition was copted by the council, and a resolut passed cancelling the first mortgage far as the council had power to cancel Senator Butler and a number of ot prominent citizens were ot the meeti and everybody win spoke advised council to cancel tbs mortgage. G Butler explained that it was to the torest of the railroad, to the town and tho bondholders to accept Gen. Hngot proposition. President Hagood talked quite fre and frat kly about the prospecta of Railroad. He is confident that the n will be built nt an early day, but surest way, he said, to hasten its c< pletion was for the people who 1 along tho line to do everything posai to assist and encourage the euterpr He referred to the old story about H cutes and the wagoner, and said moral of that fable was as true now a always was. Gen. Hagood spoke fa\ ably of the proposition to carry the 1 by Greenville, but said it was not the tention to abandon Bickens or Easley any other town on the road. He said had written a note to the Pickens Se net in which ho had assured tho peo nf that section that thero was no ca for their present apprehensions, and t the railroad would certainly go tbrot Pickens County whether" it went Greenville or uoi.-Edgffield Chrom President IlagootVa l'onltlon ta Before to the "Flank Movement." General Hagood in a recent pr iv etter to us, expresses regret at the easiness excited at Easley and Pick >y the announcement of negotiati sith Greenville to carry the Oaroli Cumberland Gap and Chicago Baili >y the latter place, and desires us p ?cly to eorrcct the misapprehena ?pon which he says it is founded. 1 imposition ns entertained to go Greenville, is simply to diverge to t ?xtentso much of the line as lies ween Williamston and Easley. It i mt affect Easley, Pickens or any ot mint named in tho charter, as poi hrough which the road is to run.

I'llILADKI.l'lIIA, PA., June 20.-The police to day found in the cellnr of the dwelling No. 2.24:1 North Fifth street, formerly occupied hy I>r. Isaac Hatha way, an alleged abortionist, the bodies of several children and a large number of human bones. Dr. Hathaway was arrested in March, 1881, with the Kev. Thomas 15. Miller, for committing crimi nal malpractice upon Mary Duller, a ser vant girl, whose child died after the operation. Doth were admitted to bail and Hathaway fled. He, however, i returned to the city some time ago, but has never been rearrested on tho charge. Three months ago his wife charged him with brutally assaulting her and threat ening her life. She asked to have n i wurrant issued for his arrest, but subso . queutly withdrew thc charge. She told ( the oilicials ut that time that herhusband bad performed several criminal opera tions upon her and thal she knew he had performed hundreds of others. Up to 4 i o'clock this afternoon twenty-one skulls, of infants, hud been lound buried in the cellar of tho dwelling. Dr. Hathaway is now in the county prison charged with assaulting a relative. The coroner this afternoon lodged a detainer at the prison against him. A Terrible Explosion. i UKKK.NVII.I.K, June 20.-A terrible boiler explosion took place about 1 o'clock to day on the farm of Robert C. Williams, about eight miles south of the city. Ten mon were near, variously en gaged in the work of threshing wheat, and seven of them were injured-theen Kineer, Ned McBrayer, colored, fatally. McBrnyer's right arm and shoulder were terribly mangled, and the sid6 of his face frightfully ecalded and torn. He died shortly after the accident. Elisha Wilson, colored, is very seriously wound ed and scalded. R F. Cox, white, Charles Carter, white, Andrew Rhodes, white, Butler Perry, colored, and a negro laborer whose name has not been learned, received injuries moro or less serious in their nature, hut none of them thought to be fatal. The cnuse of tho explosion was a defective steam gauge, which MeBrayer was holding down with his band at tho time to prevent the engine blowing off steam. In this way it is thought too much steam was allowed to accumulate. Heavy paris of the engine were thrown seventy-five yards. The thresher was considerably damaged. Correspondence News and Courier. Southern Timber Lands. The New York Commercial Bulletin concedes that the South is destined to become the centre of the lumbering in dustries of America, and it predicts that the annual yield of this article in the Southern States will amount to more than *100,000,000, bringing in nearly as much as the colton crop. It sees in the late heavy purchases by Northern and European capitalists of largs tracts of Southern lands a proof of this. These corporations and syndicates see the fu ture ahead, and they are wisely laying in their supply of woodland now. The Bulletin says there is no doubt that now ia the best chance for purchasing South ern timber lands cheaply ; for along with the rise of Southern prosperity generally, accompanied or inspired by railroad de velopment, timber lands will advance much beyond their present value. It is true that the lumber market is somewhat overstocked just at present, and not much is to be gained by increasing the output, but in the prosperous future ahead this industry will grow and in crease in the steady development of the country. Tho Greenville Seducer Skips Out.' The Greenville News of Thursday says : L. Wash Floyd, who was shot by L. W. Kay last week, and who has been confined to bis room at the Exchange Hotel by bis wound ever since, left the city on Tuesday night or yesterday morning, taking the Air Line train. His destination is unknown, and the friends who aided his departure refuse to reveal it. He is probably gone permanently. It is not at all unlikely that another effort would have been made to kill bim if be had remained here, although the Newt, bas no authority for saying so, ex cept a general knowledge of the state of public feeling and the disposition of the persona most deeply injured by the alleg ed crimo of the refugee. - Snow Hill, Maryland, claims to have been the cradle of the Presbyterian Church in America. It is claimed that Rev. Franois Mackemle found tho first Presbyterian Church on the continent at that place in 1C88 or 1681. Snow Hill ia one of tho oldest settlements in Mary land. It was laid out by Act o' Assem bly as early as 1686. forty-three years before Baltimore was known as an organ ized village. Parson Mackemie organ ised five congregations in Somerset County, and it seems to be well attested that Snow Hill ia the parent spot of Presbyterianism in America. The sur viving congregation, that baa an un broken history for two centuries, propo ses to celebrate the two hundredth an niversary by the erection of a Mackemle Memorial Church, and the enterprise is not only eminently commendable but it should receive tho generous encourage ment of Presbyterians throughout the Country. - A Western fruit grower has planted 80 ,uo0 peach trees and len bushels of peach stones. - A live born? d Texas frog, arrested in bis travels through tlie mails, was re- | j ceived at Hie Dead tatter Office at Washington last Thursday. .
