The Newberry Obsetvtt says: Editor Murray appears Blightly offend ?d at oar congratulations. He overlook? ed the fact that the congratulations were ?extended to bis paper aod not to bim. He should feel flattered. >i If oar contemporary had published oar remarks from which it deduces its conclusions, its readers would have seen that the Editor of. the Intelligencer said nothing to indicate being offended with the Observer. On the contrary, we -expressed ourselves as satisfied with things as they exist, and asked that con? cord and harmony might reign. The Observer has not been marked, for some time past, by auy very pleasant manner .: in discussing public questions with the Intelligencer, and we will admit ?frankly that we were not looking for any ?compliment, even by indirection, From it. Still, as the Observer seems willing to get on better terms, we "are more than willing to do so. We ?dislike personalities in journalism, and never indulge in them unless forced to . .. do so. We harbor no malice towards the Observer, and nhall be delighted to have oar relations in future more courteous and more friendly. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Of all the officers to be elected by the people of any County, there is none equal to that of County Commissioner in .- importance for the welfare of the County.' They have such large discretionary pow? ers that the people have practically no protection, except the character and qualification of the men elected. They ' have entire control of the County finan? ces; spend the County money at the places and for the purposes they see St; have the supervision of public bridges and buildings, and the supervision of the public roads of the County. County Commissioners, therefore, ought to be men of unquestioned character and sin? cerity; they should be men of experi? ence and sound judgment; they -Vould' be intelligent and thoroughly indepen? dent in the discharge of their duties. In making up oar tickets, therefore, for next Friday1 we ought to select for An? derson County the three best men out of the Bix candidates. .We are satisfied that Anderson County will have a good Board of Commissioners next time, for any three men who can be elected now will be safe men for us to entrust the charge of our County affairs into their keeping. But always among a giv? en number of men some are better qualified than others, and it is important that we have the very best men possible. Hence we hope every voter will cast his ballot for the three men whom he thinks will spend the County money most judiciously, and who will have our public roads worked best. It is a matter which concerns every voter in the County, and we trust that all of them will forego any personal choice to vote for the men they candidly believe will make the best Com? missioners. It is the. most important election that onr people have before them. Murderer and Sniclde. Special Dispatch to the News and Courier. Columbia, August 26.?The Colum? bia correspondent of the News and Cou? rier received to-night a telegram from Clinton. Laurena County, to the effect that John P. Sloan, who murdered bis wife in Newberry on the 19th of this month, spent last night at the house of ? J. T. Bell, in Newberry County, where he had given, an assumed name. After he had left there this morning certain parties suspected him of being the wife murderer^ and starting in pursuit over? took and surrounded him in a negro cabin on Garlington & Young's plantation, which is in Laurens County, fourteen miles from Clinton, and near the New? berry line. He resisted arrest, and, de? termined to avoid being captured, shot himself in the left breast, causing instant death. The only person in the bouse at the time of the shooting was an old negro woman. The party only heard the re? port of the pistol, none of them witness? ing the shooting. The coroner's inquest will not be held until a late hour to-night. Clinton, August 27.?As telegraphed to the News and Courier John P. Sloan, the Newberry wife murderer, committed suicide at Gaiiington & Young's place in the lower part of Laurens County at 11 o'clock yesterday morning by shoot? ing himself three times in the neck and breast with a pistol, dying almost instant? ly. Coroner Boozer secured a jury and held an inquest last night. The verdict was that John P. Sloan, murdered him? self with a pistol. The facts of the case are: Mr. Thomas Ray, who had been on a visit with his family to relations in the upper portion of the county, was passing J. P. Little's store where he saw Sloan. He at once determined to secure his arrest, and having secured a warrant from Trial Justice W. L. Copeland, secured ?ie assif>*.ance of J. P. Little, Walter Harmon, W. Jones, Joe McMil len and J. F. Bell and proceeded in the direction of Newberry, tracking Sloan, who was on foot, as they went. At G. F. Young's brick house place the posse came in sight of Sloan and ordered bim to halt, but he ran until covered by a negro cabin in the yard when be delib? erately opened bis vest and shirt front and shot himself. Two colored women saw the deed and testified to these facts at the inquest, Tulrty-Two MaQ Men* Eufaula, Ala-., . August 28.?Great excitement prevails in this section over thirty-two cases, more or less, of Violent? ly developed, hydrophobia on "the'planta? tion of Mr. Punch Doughtfe, five or Six miles from this city. Dr. E. B.-Johnston, who was called to attend the sufferers, returned this afternoon and reports three cases desperate-, one in delirium and one so low that death is expected at any time. The history of the cases is that a dog on Dougbtie's place went mad on July 25.. and bit a mule and several hogs. The first hog died on August ?.? and was* given to the negroes on the place to make soap grease. Inetsa'd of doing so they j ate it. On August 18 two hogs died, one on the 2$d and one on the 27th. Of theae nogs thirty two people ate. Eleven j days after eating of the first hog ten per- ? sons were taken violently sic?: with symptoms of pofson, aou" the others were seized in rotation just according to tbe time at which the subsequent hogs were eaten, until tbe entire thirty-two people were attacked. The mule first bitten made a ferocious attack on Mr. Doughtie on Saturday last. After biting the animal he was riding, and Doughtie dismounting, he bad a race for lifo with the mad beast and only es-, caped by tbe narrowest cbance, the mule running against a fence post in his wild charge and being knocked senseless, just; as Mr. Doughtie was scaling the fence., The mule was shot and killed by Mr. Doughtie afterwards. The tn'dfe bitten by this-animal baa shown no sign of hy? drophobia yet, but presents every indi? cation of poison, and the Doctor says that tbto animal cannot live. Two days ago another dog was attacked with rabies and killed, but uot before biting a small dog on tbe lot, which is now boused and will be treated experimentally for & cure. The greatest terror exists throughout tbe entire beat on account of tbe fact that tbe first dog in still at large among the cattle ami hogs. Dr. Johnston, who is an able physician, says that he would cot be surprised if the majority of the thirty people attacked should succumb to the disease, as the premonitory symptoms are of tbe most dangerous character. The medical fra? ternity are greatly interested over the development of tbe cases. The people generally are excited and tbe victims and their families are terror-stricken. A community hunt has been proposed for tbe pursuit and capture of the mad dog now at large.?Dispatch to the Newt aud Courier. A Bailroad Quandary, Columbia, August 31.?Yesterday morning Mr. George R. Talcott, the su? perintendent of the Columbia and Green? ville and Charlotte, Columbia and Au? gusta Railroads, received a teiegram from Col. A. C. Haskell, the president of the roads, directing bim to proceed to Spart anburg and turn over tbe Sparenburg, Union and Columbia Railroad to its owners. Since the receipt of these in? structions, however, Superintendent Tal? cott has received another telegram from President Haskell directing him to post? pone the surrender of tbe road for tbe present. Col. Haskell is in New York and is probably considering some settle? ment of the matter. Tbe surrender of the road would create some curious re? sults. The shops of the line have since the lease been moved to Columbia and consolidated with those here. Tbe ma? chinery is scattered about, the cars and locomotives have similarly lost their identity, and the bare track is about all that can be well given up. Just now, then, the uncertainty of tbe owners consenting to receive the line makes tbe situation more interesting. The tempo? rary abandonment of tbe road might be the result. The reason for Col. Haskell's last instructions is not known here, I believe. Spabtanbtjbg, August 31.?Major Anderson, superintendent of tbe Asbe ville and Spartanburg Road, has been invited to meet Messrs. Inman and Mc Aden, the two principal stockholders of the Spartanburg and Union Road, here to-morrow. No information has been received as to the probable action of the Clyde syndicate, but it seems as if they would surrender their lease. The hands have been furni?bed rations to last until to-day. If they give the road up it will probably be run in connection with the Asheville and spartanburg Road, Major Anderson being superintendent of both. It has been rumored that the Atlantic Coast Line would get possession of the road. - Spartanburg would be pleased if the South Carolina Road should get con? trol of It. The Campaign in the State, The State Democratic Executive Com? mittee met in Columbia on last Monday night with a full attendance. The Committee have prepared a stir? ring address to tbe people of tbe State. Reports received from all the Counties indicate thorough organization and the determination to achieve an overwhelm? ing victory in November next. The first gun of the campaign will be fired on tbe 23d of this month, and the echo will be heard on the seacoast. Speakers will move through the State in columns; The same speakers will not deliver addresses in all the Counties, but will divide into squads and thereby make a thorough caBva?s of tbe entire State. The appointments will be published in full. Captain F. W. Dawson, who is a mem? ber of the National Democratic Execu? tive Committee, and has recently return? ed from headquarters in New York, brings glowing accounts of tbe prospects of a Democratic victory in tbe national con teat. Where tbe Republicans have hitherto carried States without an effort they are now fighting with a desperation born of apprehension of defeat, and they are lacking in tbe means for carrying on a vigorous campaign. The Democrats of the North and West are jubilant over the prospects, and when the Tammany endorsement of Cleveland and Hend ricks is made on Friday next, an aggressive campaign will be opened by tbe Demo? crats, which will know no abatement until victory is proclaimed. Lnla Hurst Defies tbe World. Chattanooga, August 26.?Lulu Hurst, the Georgia wonder, was inter? viewed to-day as she passed through tbe city en route home. She denied being married to her manager, T. M. Atkinson, and says there is no ground for tbe report; that she does not even love bim and never expects to. She states that her tour has netted her about $40,000, which she will invest in Government bonds. Miss j Hurst will be under the management of j Chas. Frohman, of the Madison Square Theatre, New York, next season, which commences in San Francisco on Septem? ber 8 and continues four weeks. She says her mysterious power is increasing continually, and she defies tbe world to solve its mystery. Hurricane In Indiana. Evansville, Ind., August 29.?At 9 o'clock this morning the most destructive Evansville, doing damage of not less than $250,000 in the city and vicinity. Houses were blown down, roofs carried away, three or four steamboats badly injured, thousands of shade trees torn up by the roots and other injury done. It is impossible to give tbe amount of dam? age: Probably the heaviest individual loser is John H. Rooker, whose new foundry was almost wholly destroyed. Several churches suffered severely, also one new school house. The storm lasted over an hour, the wind blowing a hurri? cane, changing from Northwest to North? east. No lives are reported as lost. hurricane ever known here broke THE DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE. A Ringing- Speech by Governor ?cnuricks. InDUNA^Vs, August 30.?The cam I pa'.gu in this State was formally opened by both parties to-day, and a hundred speeches were delivered in the;cities and towns in various parts of Indian?., fh this city the Republicans dM hot hold a meeting. The Democrats had a large street demonstration, many unitormed clubs carrying torches and transparen? cies, participating. The speeches look place from the stand in a circle, where ex-Governor Hendricks addressed the audience, numbering several thousand ? persons. j Fellow-CitiRens' I appreciate the privilege, arid honor of addressing you, j and 1 recognize the duty of speaking j frankly and without concealment or exaggeration of any material fact or opinion. May I first ask your attention to the necessity and importance of reve? nue reform. The power to levy and collect taxes is among the highest and most responsible of the attributes of the, Government. It ranks with the 'right' and faculty of taking private property: for public use and With the right and' j power of transferring citizens iroih 'the; j pursui's of private life to the duties And ' hazards of War. It takes from man that which is his and apttp-'jrlates it to the public use, tt seizes upon the earnings I of labour as well as upon the accuraula I tiona of capital. To every man the inquiry is of a personal concern, and the J answer is of public consequence.. How. far may the Government go in the exer-1 eise of tha power to tax tho people ? Freely and cheerfully we 'all answer that there shall be no limitation or restraint upon the absolute and entire maintenance of public authority with all of its facul? ties and functions unimpaired. Whatever the Government can lawfully do and of right should do the taxpayers will fur? nish it the means to accomplish. Beyond this is tbe providence of private right, to invade which is usurpation. The Government economically administered ehall be supported. Are your men from the fartnB, shops and stores willing that j any other rule should be adopted ? May J they take your money for uses not au? thorized by the Constitution or not for the public welfare ? or that it may be piled up in the vaults to tempt the greed of tbe unscrupulous, When tbe war came taxation was necessarily and right? fully increased. Large revenues were needed to supply and maintain great I armies, but with the war and the expen j ditures consequent upon it then passed away the necessity for a war standard of taxation. Why, then, was such a stand? ard continued? The party that has held J almost unbroken power for nineteen I years in peace must answer that question. In his message of December 4, 1882, President Arthur admonished Congress I that at the prior session he bad urged upon its attention "tbe importance of j relieving industries and enterprise of I unnecessary taxation." In tbe same I message be said tbe people have been in substantial accord on the doctrine "that only such taxes should be levied as are necessary for a wise and economical administration of the Government." Tbe President continued : "Of late the public revenues have far exceeded that limit, and unless checked by appropriate legislation such excess will continue to J increase from year to year." For the fiscal year euded June 30,1881, the sur? plus revenue amounted to $100,000,000. For the fiscal year ended on June 30 of last year the surplus was more than $145,000,000. What say you, my coun? trymen ? Did that showing not call for I revenue reform ? During that Congress the House was made up positively of Republicans, largely by partisan action. Not much heed was given by it to the startling statement made by the President of the enormous excess in the revenue. The modification of the internal system and of the tariff made on March follow? ing left an excess of $85,000,000 of reve? nue. In his last annual report on De? cember 3 last tbe secretary of tbe treasu? ry estimates tbe surplus of tbe current year at $85,000,000, and adds: "So the question still presses, what legislation is necessary to relieve the people of unnec? essary taxes ?" Yes, it is a question of $85,000,000 unnecessary taxes in one year; the accumulation is constant. In a speech recently made at Richmond Mr. Calkins, the candidate for Governor, boasting of the achievements of his par ty, made a statement which I adopt without examination, "that tbe Repub? lican party found an empty treasury. [Now it has a surplus of $400,000,000." That is an enormous sum of money; j more, I believe, than half the paper currency of the country. Estimating our population at 50,000,000 it is eight dollars for each man, woman and child. That great sum of money lies idle in the treasury. If it had been left with the people it would become the willing and active servant of labor. It would stimu? late and strengthen old and develop new enterprises. It would restore to the merchant bis market and give the farmer good prices again. In the language of tbe secretary of the treasury, "the ques? tion still presses, 'what legislation is necessary to relieve the people of un? necessary taxes?'" It is a question, of revenue reform. Solve this question, my countrymen, by reducing the taxes, and thus leaving the money not needed by the Government in the pockets of the people and channels of trade and com? merce. The party in power will not give ?s this reform. As the years have rolled by with them in power the machinery of the law, inexorable in its action, has gone on collecting from the taxpayers in ex? cess, hoarding and accumulating. The candidate for Governor boasts of the accumulations. In contrast with low taxes and short revenue and the empty treasury of former days, the high rates and overflowing treasury of these times became, in tbe appreciation of himself and his political associates, achievements of exalted statesmanship. Learning and argument are exhausted in tbe po? litical papers of these times in support of high taxation, to tb end and for the purpose of relieving favored classes from competition. Of course revenue reform must come from other quarters. It can? not come from the representatives of the favored classes who ask inequality in legislation that there may be unjust inequality in the profits of the varied pursuits of the people. May I ask your attention to the plan and principles of Revenue reform, to which the Democrats are pledged by the Chicago platform? Federal taxation "shall not exceed the needs of the Gov? ernment, economically administered." Do you approve that? If not, would you have the Government wastefully and corruptly administered to make room and pretext for higher Federal taxes? "Federal taxation shall be exclusively for public purposes." Would you have it otherwise ? If taxation can have for its object other than public purposes, may tbatobject and purpose be individual and private gain ? I do not question that it may be and often is an incident that one man receives a greater benefit, or carries a greater burthen than another, because of a prescribed tax. If I buy an imported article with a duty on it I bear the burthen of duty. If you man? ufacture a like article and sell it at an advance of price equal to the duty, then J to that extent you are benefited, but the individual benefit or burthen is not the object or purpose of the laws. It is but a necessary incident; nor do I question that in tbe adjustment of the details of the tariff law, legislative mind and judg? ment may and will be influenced not only by considerations of general policy, but also by the probable effect of the meas- j ure upon the business interests of the country. It is in accordance with this sentiment that the Democratic party stands pledged in its platform "to revise the tariff in a spirit of fairness to all in | terests," and that "any changes of law picst be at every .step regardful for tbe labor and capital employed-in the indus? tries of the country," and that "custom? house taxes shall bear heaviest on arti? cles of luxury and, lightest pa articles *f necessity," and that "netrees^ry reduction in tho taxation tzh and must be effected without depriving American labor of the ability to compete successfully with foreign labor." These principles* of the platform are plainly written and easily understood. They present the conserva? tive purpose of the Democrats, touching revenue reform. When., expressed in laws their beneficent inSuence will be come.aptivo aba universal lower taxes wilt signify lighter burthens upon the people, money returning to the channels of trade, enterprise restored and stimula? ted, renewed demand for the products of industry, and consequent increased de? mand for labor, and universal prosperity. If tbe four hundred millions now locked up in the treasury were restored to the channels of trade and commerce, who can doubt that labor would find employ? ment and the manufacturer a market for! Mb fabrjcs. t .; ... ,. . He referred. ?9 the, disgraceful condi? tion of our ocean commerce, and said: "The obituary 'of bur merchant navy is written in our tariff, and shipping laws. Its spirit of enterprise and daring that once brought wealth to our shores and pride to our people, and that furnished congenial employment to thousands of our brave and hardy sons, is buried , in the treasury vaults under those $400,000, 000 of which Mr. Calkins vaunts." He then spoke of the lamentable con? dition of our nr.vy and coast defences, quoted from tbe speech of Senator Har? rison on the subject, and said the Demo? cratic party was not responsible for this amazing condition of things, and asserted that the Democratic party looks with shame and humiliation upon our present miserable navy, and regards with anxiety our unprotected seaboard. It would have war vessels of sufficient strength and number to withstand any naval pow? er on earth, and make the flag respected on every sea and every port in the world. All this, not for conquest, but for the preservation of peace on terms consist? ent with National honor. The bill for a small addition to the navy, he under? stood, was defeated by Democratic Con? gressmen because of want of confidence in the navy department as at present or? ganized. He called attention to the fact tbat much is said about the probable foreign policy of the Presidential candi? dates, and that it is claimed tbat Blaine will be more American and dashing. Mr. Hendricks said on the subject: "His South American interference was neither. Of course we know what vote this claim is intended to reach. I think it will fail. The vote is too intelligent." He called attention to tbe platform of both parties and said they do not differ materially on the subject. He then con? trasted two cases?that of Martin Koszta, under a Democratic administration, and that of McSweeney, under Blaine as secretary of State. He said in the Koszta case tbe courage of Capt. In gra? ham of the navy, who demanded the re? lease of Koszta, and the learning and ability of Secretary Marcy not only re? stored Koszta to bis liberty and his rights, but established the same rights in favor of every emigraut to this country. The case gave to our country a great position and influence among the other nations. In reviewing the McSweeney case he con? cluded as follows: Was it not enough that Mr. Blaine was informed that an American citizen was confined in a Brit? ish jail, and he bad been guilty of no violation of law, and that no charge of violation of law bad been made against him? Could duty be plaiuer or its neg? lect more flagrant? Had Marcy been secretary of State at the time would McSweeney have languished in prison for ten months? would bis wife's letter have lain unnoticed in the State depart? ment? Under Marcy American rights were vindicated?under Blaine they were neglected. Not long siuce I made the acquaintance of Governor Cleveland. I found him affable and courteous, clear and distinct in bis views and strong and direct in the expression of his purposes. He seemed to me as free from conceal? ment and the arts of a demagogue as any man I know. As far as I could judge in a single conversation I thought him in a marked degree governed in his official life by his convictions of duty. You do not expect him to escape criticism upon his official life. That can hardly be the fortune of any candidate. Touching that I believe his motives have not been impugned nor bis honesty questioned. In respect to his private life we will not accompany bis defamers in their search for a ground of accusation back of the overwhelming vindication by his neigh? bors in three political contests of extra? ordinary brilliancy aud success. Then and Now. Addressing the people who Rre now supporting him from the steps of the New York City Hall in 1866, Gen. But? ler said : "Why, you poor fools! I have faced your masters in Baltimore and New Orleans. I have hung your broth? ers, and if you don't learn to behave yourselves I fear I shall have the chance to some day do the same to you. Why, I have seen many more such as you with tbe Minnie rifle and musket and the bay? onet in their hands, actuated by tbe same spirit tbat actuates you, and I did not flinch from them. Do you suppose, then, that I would flinch before you ? A man who has smelt gunpowder can stand rum and garlic. You think your? selves the equal of the negro. No. no; tbe negro is as immeasurably your supe? rior as heaven is above the hell to which you are going. And now, men of the Five Points, bullies of the bawdy house, burglars of the Tombs, I simply declare as tbe voice of tbe nation that you are not fit for the exercise of the elective franchise." This was what Butler thought of the communists, nihilists, dynamiters and hoodlums in 1866.? BYom the New York Herald. Arthur's Narrow Escape. Newport, August 28.?The Presiden? tial party had a providential escape from instant death this afternoon. The Presi? dent, Secretary Chandler. Senators Aid rich, Hawley, Miller, Butler and other officials went outside on tbe torpedo boat Triana, for tbe purpose of experimenting ith torpedoes. They had exploded one successfully, and had put another over? board, preparatory to exploding it, and were standing on deck engaged in con? versation, when, without any interference hatever, it prematurely exploded. No possible reason can be assigned for the explosion, which, under tbe circumstan? ces, was liable to have occurred at any previous moment on board the vessel, in hich case she would, with all on board, nve been blown to atoms. It is said that the farmers of Threo ile township, Barnwell Couuty, have made corn enough to last them two or ree years. ?

It appears from admissions made by the Schepper boys that they had secretly planned beforehand to hang, him and had invited several boys to witness the .performance) but they were too much frYght'ched to come- Ahsy got Gammy in a swing and they dexterously fastened a cord tightly to his neck and swung him off.

"Y"oU cannot afford to use common Spec? tacles, made with iron frames, and 3et with cheap pressed lenses, with irregular, un? polished surfaces, and cone out of centre, when for a little more you can get a nice steel, elastic, blue frame, with patent silver nose-piece, (to adjust the cone in front of the sight,) and will not rust. King's frames ard set with pure white ground, regular, polished surface lenses, with cone in centre. These Spectacles will preserve the eye from decay, by supplying it with the exact, perfect magnifying power that nature has lost, thus preventing the invol i untary strain that adds damage to w?ak ness of the most sensitive and valuable member of the human body. Fitting the Spectacles is QUITE IMPOR? TANT. After trying on a number of Spec? tacles, the customer's vision is so confused he cannot judge right. I have a Patent Optomiter, (or eye measurer,) that will get the exact focus at once. Dr. Holland writes me: "My wife suffered u long time with head? ache, by the involuntary strain ontheoptio nerve, and King's Spectacles promptly re? lieved it. (Signed) S. N. Holland." Spectacles should be used as soon as their aid will prevent straining the eye, just as a crutch is used to prevent strain on a sprain? ed ankle. Economy says gf* the -'Best of Everything," especially of Spectacles. If light hurts the eye, or you are inclined to squint the eye,"or if the eye is soro, get smoked glasses. N. B.?Any one using King's Spectacles, and are not satisfied with them, will please return them to J. A. DANIELS. July 24, 1384_2_ ^Sa, Cheapest Lamps at Orr &. Sloan's. RED RUST PROOF OATS.
