Where is the intelligent member of any branch of the different industries of our great country, that does not know, that unless tbe farmer flourishes, every other department of en? terprise, manufactures and commerce, will inevitably be depressed? So inti? mately are all the interests of other class? es bound up in the success or failure of the farmer's work, that they languish whenever a year of drouth is experienced on the farm. A good farmer growing large crops is a far more necessary in? dividual than a member of Congress > therefore, we should be kind enough towards ourselves and our best farmers not to conspire against them, and elect them to office, ruin a good farmer and perhaps add an ass to the political arena. Farmee's Son. UtJB WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. OV, July 19,1886. ^ If Congress does not adjourn by August the first, it will not be.because the hours of each daily session are sot long enough. It is a common occurrence now for both Houses to meet at 11 a. m. and sit until 9 or 10 o'clock at night. The members cannot refrain from much talking on every subjact that arises; and the conse? quence is long legislative hours and little legislation. A large number, of . the members are getting frightened at the Presidential 'vetoes, and show a disposi? tion to hold back favorite bills rather than have them go to the White Houae and be sent back with No, spelled with a big N.; Hope spring* eternal, etc., and better things are hoped for next session. The President's "last circular letter relative to offensive partisans iu his own party, falls like a wet blanket over the ardor of many life-long Democrats. It is exceedi ngly bard for them to get used to the newcrder of things. They are opposed to any change in principles for which they have stoutly contended so long, but want more changes in the . offices which they claim belong to them. The Cabinet officers,without exception, approve of the President's /.order, but members of Congress generally denounce it, especially those, from close ' aud doubtful dis? tricts. The. effect upon the coming Congressional elections is looked for with deep interest from headquarters in Washington. The Democratic "Con? gressional . Campaign (Committee is greatly perplexed as to what sort of campaign literature had beet be tent forlh. The party U on the defensive,"and conse? quently great care has to be exercised in the selection of the material broaght into requisition, in feeling the temper of the various districts, and' administering ac? cordingly. The Republicans, on the other hand, are on the offensive, and have been -.formulating material in the. many tactics adopted and speeches made in Congress. We all know that It is easier to tear down than to build up, and hence the Republicans have an easier task than the Democrats. At least such appears to be the prevailing opinion here, where 'all the Jpolitical. wisdom of the two parties is concentrated just now. Time will show which is the bes; man in the contest. ' As the .Treasury Department has re? ceived so much notice'?f late iu the part it plays in politics, it may.not be., unin? teresting to note that as you enter the Treasury building at the North end your first impression is that you are in a big bank, bot that delusion is soon dispelled by the eye catching, in big letters of gold, the words 'Treasury of &e United States." Inside the* cash, room there is a marble counter, with a stout iron screen in front pfritj rising from the tiled floor four, or five feet above-the'counter, with: little doors at intervals, through which "you [pass to transact^your business. Every [ body likes to see and hear and talk about money in large sums. So it is that this place has a strong fascination for the tourist Nearly air the sight-seers go there to peer through the screen, or better atil 1, go into the gallery which runs round the whole room at a distance of. forty feet above the floor, and. from which can be obtained, without danger to the money, a good view of the Whole interior of the office. Heaps of money, coin andpaper, lie around in a fascinating way, and you cannot drive back the feeling what a nice thing it would be if you could be turned loose in there and.told to help yourself* It is safe to assume that some thought of this kind crosses tbe minds of 99 out of every 100 persons who look down, from that gallery. All the paper money paid out there is "brand" new, just as it comes from the Bureau of Engraving and Print? ing, where they mako it. It is in uni? form packages, each-containing 100 bills. If they are S's the package contains $500'; if. IOO's, $10,000, and so. on. These packages, ^during the process of manufacture, and in being transferred from one custodian to another; have been counted 60 times by as many different persons. It is always safe to assume that each package contains the value designat? ed upo- its wrapper, and persons receiv? ing these packages never think of count ing their contents to verify the count. A mistake is regarded as something impos? sible to occur. Dr. R. J. Gatling, whose name goes with his gun all over the world, is in ! Washington at present. He will soon have -ready a new form of his machine gun, specially devised for the use of the police in our largo cities. It will be con structed on the same principle as his large j field gun, but will be very compact. Tbe barrel of the gun will be only 12 inches long; and the whole thing when mounted on a police wagon will not weigh more 'than 50 pounds. Woe to-the dynamiters .then. His idea is to have two or three of these guns mounted on a police wagon, which can be driven rapidly to the scene of a threatening riot Each gun will fire at least a thousand shots a minute, and the doctor's idea is that the mere knowl? edge that such weapons are in the posses? sion of the police will of itself prevent any violent act by a mob. ? A thousand shots a minute would dispose of even a Chicago anarchist meeting id short order. , ' H. ? In tbe first generation a man reck? ons only two ancestors, .his father and !mother. In the second generation the two are changed into four, mice a man has two grandfathers and two grandmoth? ers. Each of these four had two parents, and thus in the third generation there ?are found to be eight ancestors?that is, eight grandparents. Ip the fourth gen? eration the number of ancestors is 16, in the fifth 32, in the sixth 64, In the seventh 128, in the tenth 1,024, in tbe twentieth 1,048,570, in the thirtieth l,078t741,884. This may prove all the world's akinf? Cliristian union. ?9 Both Branches of Congress in a Belli? cose Humor, Washington, J uly 16.?Congress waa in a fighting humor to-day. There were three lively encounters in the House and ono in the Sonate. Tho most > sensational' incident of the session was a knock-down and bloody-nose fight between Representatives Cobb, of Indiana, and Laird, of Nebraska, in the lobby behind tho Speaker's chair. Ill feeling has existed between these men for some time, growing out of charg? es of fraud in connection with laud grants made by Cobb against Laird in open session several days ago.' To-day the two men met on the Republican side of the House and the lie was passed. They started out of the hall to settle their difficulties in tbe cellar, but were intercepted on their way down-stairs by mutual friends. The controversy was renewed and Laird called Cobb a "D old liar." Cobb retorted with "You're a perjured -?:??-." Where? upon Laird struck out from tbe shoulder and planted his fist on Cobb's upper lip, breaking the skin and. drawing blood. Friends separated the combatants before another blow could be struck, and hostil? ities are suspended for the present at least. The second scene in the House was occasioned by a peculiar ruling of Mr. Mills, of Texas; temporarily occupying tbe Speaker's chair during the considera? tion of a pension bill veto. The Repub? licans claimed the right to be heard, but Mills ruled otherwise, and for several minutes Democrats and Republicans were-all on'their feet at once, shouting and yelling like madmen. It was the wildest scene of confusion witnessed in Congress this-sesnion. Finally explana? tions were made, Mr. Mills acknowledged his error and business proceeded. The next straggle occurred over the pension case of Joseph Rom is er, of Ma? ryland, which the President vetoed. The pension committee reported unani? mously in favor of-passing the bill over the President's veto. From the facts stated it appears that tbe bill was ? vetoed because the President was not furnished with ail the evidence in the case. After a-lively discussion-the bill was passed over the veto by more than the necessary two thirds. It is understood that Mr. Morrison says Ihut he- will not allow any further votes oh the pension bills which have been vetoed, ;???,: .The row in the Senate occurred between Senators Edmunds and Logan over the rivOr and harbor bill. - Senator Edmunds bad attacked the bill from the beginning, and has attempted to ridicule nearly all its provisions. Senator Logan, who sits next to Senator Edmunds, is friendly to the bill; Growing tired of Senator Ed munds's criticisms on the bill and tbe persons:'who favored it, Senator Logan sailed into the Vermont Senator without gloves. He referred.in language more emphatic than elegant to Senator Ed? mund's attacks upon the bill and the Seople in the various States, and conclu ed by saying,"No great man would do it." As. these words were uttered, in a loud voice and directed at Senator Ed? munds, it was expected that the latter would reply.; He did not care to lock horns with Black Jack to-day, but with a great effort swallowed a large chunk of humble pie.?Diiyalch to the News and (kurier.: . ? ? . . Assistant Secretary Thompson at Work. Washington, July 15.?I called upon Governor Thompson yesterday, and found him seated at his desk in the South wing of. the treasury department, buried almost up to his elbowi in piles of vouchers, warrants and other official business. He appeared to bo perfectly at home in his new position, and exercised his official functions with the air of a' veteran. Seated around the large, well-lighted and handsomely furnished room were several applicants for office, waiting to tell the j new assistant Secretary their old and oft told; story. A smile of relief played upon the new secretary's face as he looked up from his work and recognized your correspondent, for he well knew that I was not going to ask him for an office. The; Governor stys' he anticipates no difficulty in transacting the routine offi? cial business, of his new office and such other business questions as may come before., him, but 'he has already had a severe test of endurance in dealing with the office-seekers. He says he can with* stand the appeals , of men, even the re? quests of Congressmen, but the heartrend? ing-entreaties of weeping women are in some instances very affecting and calcu? lated to make a deep and lasting impres? sion ,uponiany man having a heart. For over two hours yesterday ne was-obliged to sit patiently anc. listen to the appeals of ladles, who ware originally appointed as substitutes, but:who.now seek to be reinstated, their temporary appointment having expired. The Governor is but travelling over the same ground and undergoing the same experience ss his predecessor, and he will have to try and endure the situation, for he cannot grant relief to 2 per cent, of the applicants who inflict him with their trials and suf? ferings. '.- . Governor Thompson has engaged apart? ments at 1,605.1 street, Northwest, one of the most desirable localities in tbe city. He expects to return home on Saturday for the purpose of bringing his family, to Washington.?Correspondence News and Courier. /. The Offices and tho Men. The following citizens have been placed in nomination by their friends, with or without their knowledge, for the State offices for which nominations are to be made next month. Probably the list is not complete, but any omissions will be cheerfully made good: Judge Wallace and Ex-Governor Per? ry have positively declined to be candi? dates for the nomination for Governor, and Col. Tillman, It is assumed, desires to remain in Congress. It is not known whether Col. Coward desires a renomina tion as Superintendent of education, as it is understood he seeks the nomination for Congress in tbe Fifth District. Gen. Manigault has not indicated his desire for renomination, but is supposed to be in the field. FOB GOVERNOR. W. C. Coker, of Darlington ?; Edward McCrady, Jr., of Charleston; B. R.

Ex-Wovornor Moses Dying- in a Felon's Cell. Behind the bard of a gloomy cell in the Massachusetts penitentiary there is a (mattered wreck of a man who is faco to face with death. No pitying eyes, look into his; no friendly voice utters a word of comfort, and no kind hand ministers to the wants of this suffering outcast. This utterly friendless man, who is left to die like a dog, was not always a felon, and in other days he had troops of friends. In the first Hush of his bright manhood Franklin J. Moses was regarded as one of the most brilliant of South Carolina's sons. But bis good fortune was his ruin. Success maddeued him. He became the most prodigal ruler that ever sat in a Governor's chair. In his vain desire to five his State a dazzling administration e fell an easy prey to unscrupulous flatterers who knew how to make thrift follow fawning. The Governor of a great commonwealth became the accomplice of swindlers. Disgraced and scorned by his own people he left the executive mansion and became a wanderer on the face of the earth. His recent history is painfully familiar. Time and again within the past|few,'years the penniless exile has yielded to tempta? tion, or to necessity, and he has paid the penalty. From jail to jail, and from prison to prison this broken man has gone, never escaping the consequences of his petty transgressions. Now at the age of fifty, when he should be in his prime, he is (cut off from bis kindred and the friends of his youth, and forgotten nnd uncared for is left to die a felon's death. Men will say that it is just. They will say that it is a warning example. It is more than all this. It is the sad ending of a wasted life, and it is impossible to contemplate it without pity.?Atlanta Constitution. Gladstone will Resign, London, July 18.?At an informal meeting of the Cabinet on Saturday Mr. Gladstone spoke in favor of immediate resignation, and was supported by Earl Spencer and Mr. Morley. Sir Wm. Har court, Mr. Childers, Mr. Campbell, Ban nerm'an and Sir Farrer Herschel were in favor of challenging a vote of the House of Commons on a motion affirming the principle of home rule for Ireland. Sub* sequently at dinner Mr. Gladstone stated that he had in flex ably decided to resign and to conduct an uncompromis? ing opposition. In this decision Sir Wm. Harcourt and Mr. Childers then con? curred. Lord Hartington and Sir Henry James have definitely declined to join a coali? tion ministry. Lord Salisbury's offers to make the Duke of Argyle premier was contingent upon Lord Hartington's join? ing the coalition, and of course is now withdrawn. The Duke of Argyle will probably be made Viceroy of Ireland, with Mr. Stanhope as chief secretary. Pabis,- July 19.?Le Paris publishes an interview between one of its corres (?ondents and. Gladstone, in which the atter is reported as saying: "The Lib? erals who follow me and the Irish mem? bers constitute a compact minority, whose wi?hes it is all the less possible to disgerard because among the victors are some who, perhaps,, are less indisposed than is believed to enter the path of thorough reform for Ireland. If I lis? tened to the warnings of age I would re? tire from public life, but I would be com? mitting a guilty action in abandoning the field, after raising bo much ire and inspiring so many hopes, if I did not seek to oppose the one and satisfy the other. I have worked all my life to de? liver a suffering people, and I mean to die as I lived." ?

ZBEZCsTSOIN" ALWAYS SOMETHING- NEW! YoTJ have already learned through the local columns in tho last issue of the Intelligencer the fact that we have bought out the entire stock of Messrs. J. M. McConnell & Co., comprising nearly six thousand ($6,000) dollars worth of Goods, embracing splendid lines of? Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Notions, And, indeed, everything usually found in first class Dry Goods stores. This, in addition to our already very large Stock, gives us the largest and most complete assortment of Goods ever before contained in any one Store in this City or in the Upper part of the State. We bought them at a bargain for spot Cash, and propose to give the trad ing public the benefit of it. We know that the prices we offer these Goods at will be a surprise to you. We know, also, thai; competition is out of the question, for if others would undertake to sell their Goods at the prices we do, they would have to sell them for less than they paid for them, and board themselves besides, and this wouldn't be business, you know. The followiog are a few of the prices at which we will sell for the next sixty days, in order to make room for our Fall purchases: 5,000 pairs Ladies' and Kent's Shoes, from 50c to $1.00 per pair. 1,000 pairs Ladies' and Gents' Shoes, from $1.00 to $2.50 per pair. 1,000 Men'u and Boys' Straw Hats, from 5c to 75c each?worth double the money. 750 Men's and Boys' Wool and Fur Hats from 10c to $1.50 each?worth twice the money. Dress Goods, Notions, Fancy Goods, Hosiery, Gloves, Ladies' Collars and Cuffs, Belts, Veiling, Ruffiing, and a multitude of other articles, at just half the customary priceii. RIBBONS?a large lot, including all the new shades?on which we are entire? ly overstocked, ?.nd must seli. You.can have them at your own price. . CQRSETS from 25c to 50c?can't be bought for.less than 50c to 75c. The fa mouB "Ball" Corsets, the best in the world, we will sell at less than manufacturer's cost. The makers of these Corsets require their agents to sell them at not less than 25 per cent, above cost, but as we bought them at an. Assignee's Sale, of course made no agreemsnt of that sort. Buyers, who understand their true value, are eagerly making .heir purchases now, and we would advise you to buy early, as we will not be able to replace them at the prices offered. On next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the 8th, 9th and 10th days of July, We will make a Special Exhibit of Gent's and Boys' STRAW and FELT HATS, with prices marked down low, to be good only for these three days. We want everybody who cants Hats to come, as this will be an opportunity to buy them cheap, and for less than their value. N Come anyway, whether you want to buy or not, but bring your money along, in case you should see anything in our Store so cheap that you may want it, that you may not be disappointed about it. We will be glad to see you at all times, and will do our bent to please you. We know that wo can make it to your interest to give us your trade, as we have a Stock of Goods that cost us less money than others have to pay for them. Come and see for yourselves.
