E. B. MUItKAY, Editor. THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1886. . -,-r ?_.TV* J" i ?a ' ' '-; ' i "nr VB RM8 z ONElUAlC-.....*.??. 8IX MONTHS.-. 70?. Two Dollar? If not paid in udTanco. Mr. C. M. McJunkin, editor aod pro prietor of tho Palmetto Yeoman, died at his residence in Columbia on last Sunday, after an illness of three weeks from inflam mation of Ihe stomach. Mr. McJunkin was well known in tho world of journal ism in this State, having beon connected with quite a number of tho papers of thc State, lie was a thoroughly consci entious and upright man, and was indus trious and tenacious io the conduct of the several journalistic enterprises with which he was connected. Ile had many friends throughout tho State who regret bia untimely death. Tho Iowa Kspublicarjs are in a desti tute condition. They have to moet an election this Fall in which they will not bc bi eked by a National Republican adminiatration, and they aro fearfully agitated over the prospect of defeat. They are harping greatly upon the old "bloody-shirl" line, and expect to keep in power on sectional issues. This shows the straights to which they are reduced, and gives promise of a Democratic vic tory in the State of Iowa. The Repub lican party of thr.t Stale, however, can console themselves that they are no greater than the National Republican party which was killed and buried last year. It must go to keep its parent coapany. ^ President Cloveland appointed a gen tleman from Kentucky, named Buck, as Minister to Peru, and right away there was a howl about Buck being an un known man and other mutterings of dis* content. In them, Senator Beck of that State was conspicuous, declaring that although from his part of the State of Kentucky ho did not oven know him, and yet Senator Beck had signed Mr. Back's application for the position. This shows bow little is meant by a sig nature to a paper asking for an office. Forgetful publio men like Mr. Beck should keep an indexed list of all peti tions signed by them, to tho end that they may be. saved from making them selves ridiculous. In view of the wars, and rumors of war, which surround us at this time, it would be well for the peoplo of the South to plant as much corn and raise as much maat as possible, for a war between England and Russia would run np the price of breadstuff's and meat, while it would run down the price of cotton. This would advance the interests of the North and West, bot would greatly depress the Sooth if it should find us withont the means of sustenance at home, for it would injure England's commer?a and thereby injure the price of cotton, though it would run up the price of ar ticles of food all over the world. These are two of the most powerful and popu lous governments of the world, and a war between them would produce con siderable financial disturbance, which would always operate disadvantageously to those countries which are not self sustaining. It is fortunato for us that the probability of war between these nations is not great, but at the same time it would be the part of wisdom for our planters to proceed, as fares possible, to rake this country selfsustaicing. It will then ba aafer from financial distar balices and more prosperous. Our peo ple live poor because we plant all cotton. The most importaat thing for the suc cessful farmer to do ls to have a good garden, and provide to fill his barns and meat-house out of products of his own plantation. Then the. more cotton he can make after this, the better it will b? for bim. If he undertakes to make much cotton before providing for these things, 'he ls apt to come out woree of] as tho reward for his effort. Commissioner of Agriculture Coleman is a believer in the value of sorghum ai a means for the production of sugar io the United States, and expects to put in operation experimenta in tba culture and manipulation of the sorghum cane which will demonstrate the correctness of his views, and thereby make the Weat Indies and other tropical countries of no value to us as a source of sugar supply. . Wc hope he will succeed, but must confess that wa hara very little faith in sorghum, The new Commissioner, however, is righi io instituting experimental agricultura That ia tho lino in which the department can ba of most value to the agriculture of the country. Individuals are, Io most . cases, either unable or unprepared to make valuable farm experiments, but the government can alford to make the host and most careful ex|*erimenta foi the benefit of al) of the ci'Jrens of .hil country. By this means the agriculture of. all eectlona may be inproved, and thereby the .prosperity of the government greatly enhanced. We hope Mr. Cole' man will not only experiment witt sorghum, but that ba will by similai means try tho various staples of the laud as to modes of cultura aud qualities ol aaed. If tue department will become one of practical experiment and diaseml. ; nation of usoful agricultural knowledge lt will fulfill lU beat pbuibllltiM au. give to the country great advantage] which hayo hitherto been unknown. Governor Thompson was requested bj tho Democratic Executive Committee ol Edgefleld County to submit tho fill inf of a vacancy in the office- of Clerk ol Court for Edgcfield County, occafiioned by the recant death of Geo. Nicholson to a primary elect'on to be held in thal "County. Tho Governor has replied thal thoOonstttutlon places oa him the respon sibility of filling this vacancy, and thal In assuming tho duties of tho executive office tho responsibility of filling vacan clea wa? ona of tts obligation? that ht : andsrtook to discharge. Ile says thal he could not leave tho matter to a rai. mary election without being governed h) the result of thai election ?a advance, and that he could not agree to do so, foi hp must approve of the wan he ?ppolnU So tho ofrice. The Governor also calli ulion to the fact that ii this rood? ot lon j*?'? adopted for Edgoflold, ll My&likewise to he. atfopit? fe other counties where vacancies may occur, which would pr .?icably take thc appointing power from the Governor and place it on a portion of the people contrary to the Constitution. Governor Thompson is right, in our opinion, in this matter, as he usually is in all of the questions submitted to bim as Chief Magistrate of South Carolina. While courteous and considerate in all cases, he is firm in adhering to what ho considers the duty of bis oflicc, and he reaches his conclusions by forceful and practical reasoning, which ?bows that his action is not arbitrary, if it docs not agreo with what people frequently want. South Caroliua has a raodel chief executive. Tho paragraph which appeurcd in thc INTELLIGENCER last week, in reference to the departure of Mr. C. E. Owens from Pelzer, was publiihed by tho local Ed itor without intending to convey the im putation which the last part of the notice contains. The facts as given to us since Mr. Owen's failure by parties from Pel zcr put a very dliTerent light upon the transaction. It is simply, as we under stand, a case in which an inexperienced young man failed at merchandising. During the period in which he wau thus engaged in business he contracted debts which nt the clone he was unable to meet, though he applied tho assets from the sale of his stock to tho payment of his debts as far as they would go, and then, feeling that it was neither to his nor to his creditors' interest to remain where bo could do nothing, left for a point at which ho expected to obtain employment and be more successful in business. He did not proclaim his departure, but his uncle in Barnwell announces that he will inform any person interested in tho mat ter of bis whereabouts. Mr. Owens is a young gentleman of education, and bas always commanded the confidence and respect of thor.o associated with him, and the facts, as given us by those of bis neighbors acquainted with the circum stances, show that, wbilo be has been unfortunate, his leaving Polzer waa from an over-sensitiveness about bis commer cial failuro, and not from any criminal conduct. Indeed, as far as we have heard there is no charge of criminality in the transaction against him, and we make this statement to remove any unfa vorable impression which the paragraph of last week may have created. MR. EDITOR: Did we fail to elect County Commissioners last Fall T or did we forgot and leave that most important office clear out of the election T Well, sir, bow very stupid we are. There must be something done, and done at onco. If you don't believe it start to Lowndos ville, and if you want to stay on top of dirt you must go out in tho woods every now and then, for those sinkholes and sucks are as deceptive aa a free negro I _ PRBP. ..You're Prolonged My Agony." NE-.V YORK, April 3.-An Inmate of Genera? Grant's household said to-night: 1 The true history of General Grant's 'death-bed' scene on Tuesday morning, when it was feared the General bad breathed hin lost, is os follows : About four o'clock in the morning the old soldier suddeuly gasped and presented all the symptoms of the death struggle. Tbe family, the physicians and Dr. Newman rushed to bis side. Nearly all gave bim up for good. Doctors Douglas and Sbradv held a hurried consultation, after which Dr. Shrady filled a hypoder mic syringo full of brandy and injected the contents into tho General's arm. The extreme pallor, so characteristic of death, gave way to a healthful looking flush and tho dying soldier was given for tho time a new lease of lite. This promptitude on the part of Dr. Shrady aaved the General ano prolonged his life so as to enable bim to sign some papers of great moment to bis family. It also saved a great figure in American history to hts countrymen for at least some days. Aftor the General . bad recovered ho pleasantly said to the surgeon who had performrid the signal service : "Well, you've prolonged my agony for a while." "Yes," answered Dr. Burndy, "we will have you with us some tims yet." Dr. Newman was overjoyed at seeing the General recover so rapidly, and Ftrayed fervently. The eyes of the adfes were suffused with tears, but they showed great joy when they saw death averted. A minute's delay at the time would have made a great change in the history of the case. It is understood that wheo General Grant dies, the funeral will take place in Washington and the interment near there.""_ _* The End or Hiram Clapton, Ally of Chamberlain and Moses. Hiram B. Kimpton was in the York ville Courtyestcrday, charged with va grancy. His handsome race wore a vacant loot, r nd his stooping figure was half clad in ?egged clothes. A piece of yelloy rope wa? tied around his waist as a belt.

He was a broker at 20 fi Nassau street whet! he fell in with Chara - - berlain and went Into South Carolina , honda. He went to that State to look after his investments, and was o support er there of Chamberlain and Moses. 1 The bonds ruined him and hit many of his frienda, and a fraudulent transaction in them in which he was involved with y- Moses rained his reputation.

Without such support un extra force of ?00 men will bo required. Everything is quiet in Aspiuwull und nil American property is as woll protected as my force will permit. I have 112 ofliccrs and men on shore. My command is safo and well. Only oue foreigner has been killed so fur as known. There are about 100 Columbian Government troops herc holding a large number of prisoners, and they are ren dering no assistance in preserving order. The railroad company is affording ali possible relief to refugees and have sent many out on the line of the road. The transit remains closed.

Secretary Whitney hus sent the follow ing dispatch to President Houston, of Hie Pacific Mail Steamship Company : "Later dispatches indicate such a con dition of things that I have concluded to seud 250 moro men to-morrow. Can you take them?" A Godsend to the Navy. WASHINGTON. April 8.-Commander B. H. McCalla has been ordered as the commanding officer of the force to bo sent to Aspinwall. Assistant Surgeon Frederick N. Ogden bas been detached from duty on board the steamer St. Louis and ordered to duty with the detachment of marineB for Aspinwall. Commodore W. T.

The orders relative to a detail of officers to go to Aspinwall aro not to go into effect, unless information shall be received making rt necessary to send an additional force to that place. The Secretary of the navy has received applications from nearly all tho naval officers who are availably located to be sent to Aspf2W?.i, The Secretary says that if all who have applied were permit ted to go he would havo more officers than men. Ile received the following dispatch this morning from Commander Kane of the Galena : "I hold two of the moat prominent insurgents who assisted in firing Aspin wall. I do not think it hs safe to deliver them to the Colombian authorities, who would permit their escape." Application bas been made by the Pacific Mati Steamship Company and by the Panama Railroad Company to the war department for either the loan or purchase of army hospital tents for the purpose of sheltering the destitute peo ple at Aspinwall. It was decided that they could not be sold except at public auction, as required by law. But in con sideration of the probable destitute con dition of the American citizens at Aspin wall the war department has placed in the custody of toe admiral of the fleet (they being Bent by the City of Para) fifty hospital tenta, to be used only in the event of such a case of existing destitu tion as would justify theil employment for tho protection of the Americans at that point. These are in addition to the tents needed for the marinea. Admiral Jouett telegraphs from New Orleans that be left that city with .he Tennessee this morning for Aspinwall. OFFICIAI.

If they find that the Colom bo forces are able of themselves to attain that object they will withdraw. I have perfect confidence in the good faith and upright intentions of the American Government. Publio opinion here is deeply irritated at the excess committed at Colon. We need energy, repression and exemplary justice, so that we may not be held responsible for aforesaid ex ceases.

The Altitude or thc Senate. WASHINGTON, April 3-The ??tar this evening gays : "It seems to be generally agreed umoug ?Senator* thal tho tact of certain nomina tions having been leftover withoutactiou does not signify tba* there is auy dispo sition among tho majority to antagonize the President. "?Senator Dawes, a prominent and re cognized Republican leader, said to a Star reporter that tho teuurcof oflice Act does not apply to either revenue or con ...ular appointments. The question of tho terms of office of such officials had not been raised for a quarter of a century, because Republicans during that time had controlled the Administration, and appointments were simply putting ono party man in to succeed another. This being the condition of affairs there had been no rigid scrutiny by the Beuate into the question of appointment, but now, he thought, there was a disposition in the Senate to acHert its full power in the matter of appointments. For instance, he said during the receto of the Senate the President can suspend au official for cause and appoint another in his stead, but should the Senate at tho next session rofuse to confirm the appointee, then the incumbent would retain tho oflice. 'WhatI could the Senate next session require the President to submit his rea sons for tho suspension?' asked the repor ter. 'Oh, yes,' replied the Senator, 'that would have to bo done.' Upon being reminded that such bad not been tho custom in the psst, even when the Senate was Democratic, Senator Dawes said that it was chiefly because the appointing power was in the Republican party, and there was no disposition among the con trolling party to make a very close inquiry about appointments. "Another prominent Republican Sena tor, who represents one of the staunchest Western Republican Staten, stated that there is no disposition among Republicans to antagonize the President. 'Wo feel,' be said, 'that the election of a Democratic President imposes upon that party the responsibility of selections for offices, and unless there should be a palpable viola tion of the civil service law or of public propriety we are not inclined to interfere. Now, Bnould a man noted as a union soldier be displaced to make room for a Confederate, wo would no doubt oppose it, but ordinarily we are willing to con firm the President's selection.' "This Senaior asserted that tho non action of tho Senate upon a number of nominations did not in any sense signify an antagonism to the President in making removals. Said he : 'In some of the cane.: which bad just been reported back under our rulen a Bingle objection could and did carry the nomination over for one day. Some Senator of either side of the Chamber might seo fit to object.' "From the best information, some of it authentic, there is no resson to believe that anything -?Mch occurred in the last hours of the special season Indicates any purpose of the Republican, to fight the President in tho matter of official appointments. On the contrary, there is good resson to acy that the disposition of the Republicana ia to accord to the President all the power and authority which bin party eau claim for him in the matter of his '.elections for office." Republican Spite Defeats Lawton. Considerable discussion took place over the nomination of Alex. R. Lawton to be Minister ts Russia. The committee on foreign relations bad reported adverse ly^ tho majority being of opinion that. although GrcB. u:V- toll hftd received full pardon and amnesty from President Johnson in February, 1867, yet by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitu tion he was ineligible because his politi cal disabilities had not beon removed by Congress. The committee reported this as the only objection to the confirmation of Gen. Lawton. In the Senate it was contended by some of Gen. Lawton's friends that the form of oath prescribed and taken by him when he entered the military service of the United States did uot include the requirement to "support the Constitution," and that therefore he did not incur political disabilities by engaging in rebellion, and does not therefore- require any Act of Congress to enable bim to bold the position of Min ister. During the discussion a message was received from the President asking that action be suspended, and later the nomination was withdrawn. This action was taken on accouut of the committee's adverse report, the Administration being of opinion that President Johnson's pardon rendered Gen. Lawton eligible. The last messago received by the Sen ate from the President was as follows : To the Senate of the United State? .. I hereby withdraw the nomination which was delivered to the Senate on March 80, 1885, of Alexander R. Lawton to be envoy extraordinary and Minister pleni potentiary of the United States to Rus sia. GROVER CLEVELAND. The Star also says the President was very much surprised and annoyed by the action of the Senate Committee in reporting unfa-crsbly upon the nomina tion of Alexander R. Lawton as Minister to Russia, and he withdrew the nomina tion to prevent unfavorable action on lt. His fear that it might be rejected before he could get a chance to withdraw it, induced him to telegraph the 8enste to suspend action for a while, then his withdrawal followed as soon as possible. The President and Secretary Bavard bavA consulted with the Attorney-General and other excellent legal authorities, and are of the opinion that President Johnson's pardon removed all of Lawton's disabili ties, and that he is eligible to appoint ment. He has been telegraphed for and is expected here very soon. They will then hold a consultation and be will be given a choice between going at once to Kassia under recess appointment, or waiting until the Senate meets in Decero? ber and have his name tent in then. Mn. Garfield to tarry. PTTTSBUBO, April 8.-The Presbyteri an congregation at Westfield. Lawrence County, were surprised and delighted thia weak to learn that their pastor, Rev. Willlara M. Taylor, wai to be married to the irIdow of President Garfield. He ia about fifty years of age, with black hair aod whiskers alight)? tinged with gray. His ?yea are aparkltag, and be is of me diara height. He is a eon of ex-Judge Taylor, of Lawrence County. Hr. Taylor .became acquainted with Mrs. Garfield many yean ago. His first wife waa Hiss Packer, of Hiram, O., who was an intimate friend and compan ion of Hrs. Garfield. They went through Hiram College together and graduated ia the same class at the time President Garfield was at the head of that institution. After both had marked they kept op a friendly iateroonrae, and by thia means Hrs. Garfield and Hr. Taylor became acquainted. One year ago last Joly Hr.

GALVESTON, April 1.-Hostilities betweou Guatemala ami the allied Republics hate been sus pended, and an armistice of one mouth's duration is announced. The Legislative Assembly of Guatemala has annulled the decree promulgated hy President Barrios on February 28, in which the union of Central American Republics wa* proclaimed and Barrios auuounced Dictator and Supreme Military Chief tain of all Central America. The gold hilted sword of President Barrios was found broken ou the battle field of Cha liebnapa. According to the latest intelli gence received here, President Barrios is dead. No particulars have beeu re ceived. WASHINGTON, April 1.-The minister of Costa Rica to-night received a cable gram from Zddivar, President of Salva dor, confirming the report that Barrios, of Guatemala, had been killed in battle. NEW YORK, April 5.-T. B. Bunting, who was at ene time chief of artillery of Guatemala, has seul to thc Press a state ment with regan! to the reported death of Gen. Barrios, in which he says : "I wish to enter my protest as to the acceptance as a fact of the report of the death o? Geueral Barrios. I was killed precisely iu tho same manner in Salva dor during the war in 1876, i. e., un paper. Be sure that when the sword of (Jen. Barrios is found on the held of battle his right band will be found firmly grasping it. As Dr. Zaldiver is not st preseut practicing medicine, his certifi cate as to the der'h of Gen. Barrios ia not evidence of t: fact. In the Salva dor campaign ol i870 Salvador gained many victories over Guatemala, hut they were all on paper, and we knew nothing of them until we read of them. The same will be found to be the case now. When Gen. Barrios dieH Guatemala will have a loss to mourn greater than bas ever happened to her before. History will do him more justice than is being done him now. This is written after a residence of nearly ten years iu Guate mala and intimate friendly and business relations with President Barrios during all that time. Barrios is a man among men. In any country in the world he would be noted and conspicuous 'or bis ability, coolness and bravery. Ht ii not perfect ; no man is, but there is no better man in Central America." WASHINGTON, April 5.-Senoi B/.tres, minister to the United States from Gua temala and Honduras, still refuses to credit tho reports that nave reached here of tho death of President Barrios. Mr. Untres will be presented to the President tomorrow. The Kiel Rebellion. CHICAGO, April 5.-Col. T. Chas. Wat son and Maj. E. W. Gorham, of the Canadian army, passed through here yesterday en route to Manitoba, where tbey will join the Canadian forces and assist in putting down the Riel rebellion. Col. Watson expressed the belief that the trouble in the Northwest would be much more serious than bad been antici pated. WINNIPEG, MAN., April 5.-News from the North Indicates that the state of affairs there is growing worse. As before telegraphed, a dispatch from Col. Irvine to the Government has come through by courier and carries bad news. The supplies are scarce, and unless relief gets through very soon the *aounted police and all tho Prince Albert people will be completely at the mercy of the Rebels. Irvine says that reinforcements of 1,500 men sre wanted at Prince Albert immediately. He adds that the country people, owing to tho threats from the Rebels, are leaving their places and that the Teton Sioux are swarming over the country and committing depredations. The Sioux referred to are led by Chiei White Cap, and occupy a reserve in Prince Albert. They are refugees from the United States. Beelined With Thanks. ATLANTA, GA., April 6.-The Atlanta Comlitulion, of which Capt. Evan P. Howell, is the editor iu chief, this morn iug published the following among its editoral paragraphs : "Capt. Evan P. Howell will not accopl the appointment as consul to Manchester and has forwarded to the Pressent hit firmal declination. While he feeli grateful to the Administration for thc honor conferred upon him mnd also highly complimented at the generom reception of the appointment, still cir cumstances are such that he thinks beal to decline it."
