Mr. Fendleton Sounds tin- Keynote of the Campaign, Tho Democrats of Cincinnati serenaded Mr. Fendleton, tbeir ctndidite for Governor, on Friday lost. In the coarse, of his epoecb in response to the compliment, be said: I cannot agree with Governor Hayos that tbo vexed questions of national politics arc wisely and happily settled; that tbo groat questions o? ?borly and union have been Bolved, and the reconstruction of tbo Union made safe, loan not agree with him that retrenchment, economy and honesty bavo boon introduced into tho management of the Federal expenditures; that tbo dobt bos decreased and Is decreasing as be states it; that the burdens of taxation bave been reduced and their weight upon the peoplo light ened; that eonud Judgment and freedom from bad influences have hewm brought to the ex ercieo of the immense power of the Secretary of tho Treasury: that business is active; tbat ontorpriso is active; that vigor, energy and in dustry are bountifully rowarded: that employ ment is abundant; that daily toil is fairly com pensated; that commerce on tho ocean and on land is prosp?rons; and therefore 1 cannot, Borenoly as does our worthy Governor, turn my face from all questions of F?deral politics and look only at state aflaire. I cannot say the Union is restored, wben Virginia, Mississippi and Texas are under military government, and Georgia without representation in Congress; that the Union is restored, when justice is administered by a drumhead court-mar tial; that tho constitution is maintained, when wo know that the Supreme Court is only waiting for an opportunity to declare the Reconstruction acta unconsti tutional. I oppose tbo adoption of the Fifteenth amend mont because it is a material, radical change in our system of government. It destroys tho relation of the States to the F?deral Union whicb the constitution estab lished, and degrades them; takes away from the States, without their consent, that oseenhal attribute ot a aolt-goveining community. Two years ago the people of Ohio, without distinc tion of party, by an immeoso majority, refused to amend tho State Constitution. I seo no reason to believe that thoy havo changed their opinion. * I object to its adoption because, by the strongest, implication, it confers upon Con gress a right reserved to the States, to ex clude from the ballot persons of our own white race, because of their nativity and want of education or properly, and prohibits the exclu sion only of another raco. If tho inter pretation of Senator Morton and Senator Howard bo correct, undor this amend ment Congress and the States may exclude Irishmen, Germnus, Catholics, Protoatants, .or the poor man from the enj nyment of snflrago, but not tbo nosrro or Mongolian. I objtot to its ndoption becauso it is part and parcel of a scheme to flood tho country with a forcod im portation of an immense, number of Chinese CQolicB. and to bring into our fallon raco a more difficult form of tho social and governmental questions that have so unhappily divided our people.' Mr. Fendleton dwelt at. some length upon the fluancial question, reiterating his former assertions in regard to the payment of 't??? governmont dobt and tho bondholders in greenbacks, and abolishing the national bank system, and the study of economy in reducing tho national debt. THE It A. URESB RAILROAD SQ VAUBLE The Statement of Mr. Jostph Crewn. We have roceived a long-winded communi cation from Mr. Joseph Crews, in reply to tho lot tor of Dr. B. 8. James ou the sale of the rolling stock of tho Laurens Railroad, whioh was published in The News of the 3d ins t.' The greater part of Mr. Crews' reply is made up of an ex parte account of Iiis individual and confidential business dealings with Dr. James. Those, we take it, are matters of no possible concern to the general public; and, oven were it otherwise, the language of Mr. Crews in nar rating them is not euch as we oould permit to appear ia our columns. Hut as it is a princi ple of The News to give every Bide a hearing, we make room for those portions of bis letter in whicb bo gives bis version of tho ealo of the rolling stock?2. transaction which has been so Bovorely denounced, even by Governor Scott's own Attorney-General. Mr. Crews writes : ? * # * Now. as to the sale of tho locomotives. One A. M. Brodio and J. W. 8. Arnold obtained a Judgment in the United states Court against he Laurens RjilroadfCompany, some time in the wiutor ofie66, upon the coupons of the bonds of the company, the payment of whioh bonds and coupons was guaranteed bv the State of South Carolina. There were sold, an der that judgment, three locomotives, one sta I tiouary engine, five box cars, two platform cars, two push cirs and one crank car. I bid iu tbe property in the name of R. K. Scott, who at that time knew nothing of my actions or intentions. I took a receipt from tho spe cial deputy of the United States Marshal who sold the property. I immediately went to Co lumbia and notified Governor Scott of my ac tkm. He agreed to abide by it and whatever Solicy I doomed best for tho interests of the t?te. Tho properly, was put up and sold to tho highest bidder, and after being advertised the numbor of days required by law. All that desirod had an opportunity to bid, and Dr. Jam?s could have bid off the properly as well as I did. After the property was sold and Gov ernor Scott was notified that the road was be ing run to tho great de trim out of the interests of tbe road and State, he advised tbat I should take charge of the road, and cause all the pro ceeds, exoapt what might bo required to pay me for my services, to bo applid to repairing the track and rolling stock, until suit could be brought against tho company, and an equita ble adjustment made of tbo whole mat tor, as between tho stockholders and tbe State. The Stato in 1859 guaranteed tbe bonds of the road to the amount of $75,000, the interest of whicb Wae to bo paid Horn;-annually. Tbe bonds wore made payable in twenty years, bearing inter est of seven per cent. Section 2d of the "Act to afford aid to tho Laurons Railroad Company," ratified 22d day of Decembar, 1850, says : "That so soon as the said bonds shall have been endorsed, they shall constitute a lion upon the entire proper ty of said company, including tbe road tied, right of way, grading, bridgos and masonry, upon all tho stock subscribed for in said com pany, and npon tho iron rails, obairo, spikes, equipments and appurtenances of every kind; and tho Stato of South Carolina upon the en dorsing of said bonds and by virtue thereof, shall bo invented with said lien or mortgage without a deed from the company, for tho pay ment by aaid company of said bonds viitb tbo interest thereon as tbe same becomes duo; and it shall not be lawful tor said company to glvo, croato or convoy to any person or per sons or body corporate whatovor, any lien, incumbranoe or mortgage of any kind, which shall bavo priority over, or come in conflict with tho lion of ibo State herein socured; und any such lion, incumbranoe or mortgage shall bo null and void as against aaid lion or mort gage of the State, and tho said hen or mort gage of tbe Stato shall bavo priority over all other claims existing or to exist against said company." I bo property I old in wes Bold under a judg ment obtained upon coupons guaranteed by tbe Stato, and for tho payment of whioh the Stato held a mort g ago upon tho entire road and lolling stook. Dr. James denies having ?oW, but says he did, npon a few occasions, exchanqp a few old castings with tbo Greenville and Co lombia Railroad Company for new ones. 1 have ascertained from tho shops of the Charlotte and Bout h Carolina Railroad Company that he disposed of 21,100 pounds of old oar wheels, and 6195 pounds of axles, which he had no rieht to do; and further that bo disposed of 8667 pounds of castings and scrap iron to Messrs, Goldsmith & Kind at 120 per ton. As Dr. James is so honest, I would be glad to have him inform the public as to what lias become of all the springs, stool, and large piles of iron, and largo quantities of old iron formerly in the depot yard at Laurens. I - do not believe tbe. rata at Laurens, be they over, so largo, havo been able to carry off this iron. Ho may anawto it by aayiog be exchanged it for pew material for the Laurens Rood, aa\ every one knows that this property*' is mof tjrued to tbb Stato, and it w?b Iiis7jafy l*'replace tho etoetr, whioh he (rears ott,. from tbe proceeds Of tberoadaud^pUrowM? prhrlnol wowrtf,, of tbo company. He- is w um tbe road ftud pnV it in order.' Whoever heard tell ol 1200.000 worth of property being leteed to ono mr.'i or et of men, without eomo compensation being given to the company and to the pnbiio. If tbo directors authorized Dr. James" to dispose of the entire property, except the road tied, it cer tainly became the duty of every good citizen to bold the direotors and Dr. James responsible to tbo public for their acte. * Joseph Chews. rEnsox-AT, GOSSIP. ?The Hon.

Tbo natural heirs of tbo young man contested tbe will, but in vain, a-id the yonng lady is to receive the first instalment of her largo possessions in December next. Five millions of dollars aro to bo Bent her then, and tbe balance as soon as possible. ?A Now York letter, assures us that Mr?. Dr. Lozicr, of that city, has a practico which yieldB her an income of ovor twenty thousand dollars, and that "tho beet physicians in the city reeoguizo her ability, her honorable posi tion, and ore proud of her. She is small and very beautiful. Her voice id low and caressing in ita tone, and sho outers directly into sympa thy with her patients, and they are devoted to her."

That body lieB under the Egyptian obelisk to tbe memory of Menken, while the osbeB of Menken ho in Pero la Chaise, without a stonB to mark their resting place. ?Victor Hugo latoly gave a new proof of his modesty. It is the annual custom of tbe Fronch Academy to give a puree to whoever of their number happens to need assistance. In order to render the reception of tbe puree as little abhorrent as possible to the member for whom it ia designed, it is offered m the first placo to the oldest member; he declines, and it then goes to the next oldest, and so to tho member previously agreed upon. This year the purse was to go to M. Jules Sandeau. It had regularly passed down tho list to the next preceding M. Bandeau's, whioh happened to be that of M. Hugo, who, instead of declining with thanks, kept the money and sent a letter full of gratitude for the liberality of hie fellow academicians. The disgust of tbo academy may be imagined. General Boauregard, it seems, dyes. A letter from the White Snlphut Springs, in sketching the notabilities at a recent ball there, says: "But what yonng man is that whose raven looks and raouatacho may be seen wherever boanty and grape reign most decidedly? Some one whispers that it is General Boauregard, the groat engineer and gallant soldier; but surely that cannot he, for tbe last time 1 eaw that great chieftain his hair was an white as driven snow, andhiB bronzed features were not those of the ball room gallant. But another look convinces mo that my friend is right, es pecially when I remember the ready reply made by tho brave chieftain to one of the belles who twittted him on this change. 'When I was in command of an army,' aaid be, 'I used to dye my hair white to impress my soldiers with a proper re-spec t for my age and position; but after tbo war closed and the necessity passed away, I allowed it to return to its natu ral color i' May his locks never turn gray, and may he live long to enjoy the society of which he is so bright an ornament." ?Somebody bas recalled a paragraph which went tbe rounds of tbe newspapers in tbe early years of the war, in which it was stated that a son of Lord Byron was a major in tho Fedora! service, and tbat he was not, as might be supposed, a natural son, but tbe fruit of the poet's secret tnarriago with a Spanish lady of rank and a Catholic. Major Byron was de scribed as a man well advanoed in years, bnt ereot and vigorone, and bearing a roinarkeble personal resemblance to Lord Byron. He wsb familiar with tho noble family of which he claimed to be a scion, and, indeed, had written a three-volume history of its members. Ho possessed many manuscript letters, personal relies and otber mementoes of the man whom he claimed as his father, and could repeat almost every word of Lord Byron's poetical . works. A correspondent of the St. Joseph Missouri Herald writes to tbat paper, stating histoquaintanco with Major Byron, and recall ing a conversation with him'on the subject of Lord and Lady Byron's separation. Major Byron declared that Lady Byron unluckily dis covered a portion of ler husband's correspond ence with hid Spanish wife, and although by tho laws of England and the laws of Spain the marriage was void, she at'onoe determined upon a separation. Major Byron mentioned to the Herald's correspondent tbe subject of Lady Byron's revelation to Dr. Lnshington, and con tend od that it concerned -Lord Byron's mar riage in Spam.'

Jennie Jane, the sprightly fashion writer and one of tho lights of tho New York Borosis, concludes her Ins: letter with the following very readable batch of gossip for tho l&dies: " Stepping into 8te mart's on my w? home, the otbar afternoon, it suddenly grjxv dark and commenced raining; heavily. .TMsjve. -Was no help forit, I was weather bound; I could not rido across town ,as no cars go iu that direc tion, and tho luxury of a carnage on the occa sion of such a small contretemps was not to bo thought of. The loss of one hour or more of my time was the great source of my regret until one of the gentlemen present suggested that I Should utilize It by taking a Journey through tho establishment. To this I assented, and we took our seats in a carpeted, handsomely mirrored and cushion ed car, and were rapidly, but with little per coptiblo motion, landed on what I conceived to be tbe top floor, until I found there were two more above ub. I am not going to either weary or entertain ray readers' with the exact number of foot con tained in this enormous pile, nor the size of the square which tho whole building will occu py when Goupil's former art gallery (now in process of demolition) has disappeared, and the structure is completed. Measurements convey ideas to my mind only by comparison, and it will, therefore, bo sufficient to -ay that each floor wonld contain a dozen ordinary farm houses?borne, poultry-booses and all? and that there ore eight floor3, including the I basement. It is now altogether tbo largest and most complote commercial bouso in the world. What it will bo when tho area ol several more large stores is added to it, it tires ono to thiuk. My object, however, in writing this paragraph is not to enlogizo Mr. Stowart or his enter prise, but simply note htm an one of the ex traordinary facts of the day, and give somo idea of his aims, and what ho is doing to bring about their ao:omp)iahmcnt. Eighteen years ago, when he was about en larging hie down-town store, a gentleixan, a merchant, said to him: "Ls it safe to do this, Mr. Stewart? Don't you know that you aro a very unpopul?r man?" "Yea," Bald Mr. Stewart, "I am aware of th?t; but I doa'l do business ou that basis. My raolbcd is not to obtain popularity, but to compel people to buy of me." The merchant never saw Mr. 8tewart a?ain. until a few days ago, and then looking around at tbe vast result, ho reminded him ot this conversation of eighteen years before, and ac knowledged that the principle must nave been sound. As a man, Mr. Stewart is not a whit more popular to-day than he was eighteen years ago. He is the terror of all the small dealers whom he undersells and out-buys. He is also tbe oracle, he Is the regulator ol prices, and it is a fact that ladies will appreciate that if Mr. Stew art should die to-morrow, pieces of dry goods would go up twenty-tlvo per cent. Of course he has recognized the modem idea of ready-made clothing for women and children, ana within the small township ot space wnioh success has placed at hut disposal, be alma to supply not only tho material for all hinds of garments, but the garments them selves, of cvory kind and grado, adapted to everybody's wants and everybody's parse. The floor, by oro of the windows of which wo are still standing, looking down upon tbo attics of the houses opposite, is devoted to the manu facture'of ladies' and obildren's outfits. From four to six hundred girls and women are em ployed in this department, and tbo demand would be Buoh that tho number might bo troblod, if the work was properly superintend ed and tbe primary idea tally carried oat. But this requires a woman as well as man.. It requires a woman of great natural capacity,' with the experience of a mother, the taste of a lady, the perception of an artist, tho toot and judgment of a financier, and tbe enorgy of Sasan B. Anthony. Some such woman is per haps scouring knives in brr little kitchen, bnt tbo world ana Mr. Stewart knows nothing of bor, ani bis great design, therefore, of supply ing oil the women in tho world with woll-made and well-fitting garment*, at a reasonable coat, is marred and rendered imporfect by being in trusted to half a dozen incompetent superin tendents. ' It is true, ho wove r, that even now a lady oan go to Mr. Stewart's and fit horaolf irom head to foot, and oan supply a family of children wlti many useful articles. Bat the departments are not properly systematized, and the lines of goods are not complete; the garments are not woll graded, and thero aro no complete oui fi te for ladies, ohltdrea and infants, of different styles and prices, which would represent at once to th? pnrchasor what could be obtained for a given a am. , , .

He does not aond hia employees on pionics in summer, nor givo them entertainments in winter. Ho does not liko personal appeals to his aympithioB, and ho makes us close a bargain "as ho can, aud expects psople to stiok to it; novcrtho lese, I am not sure but, in his owu way, ho is a benefactor. 'What ho will not do for an in dividual ho is doiugior thousands?ho is build ing, on the corner of Thirty-tourth street and Fonrth-avonuo, a mounter hotel, which will accommodate nearly all the women in the City of New York. There working girls and work ing women will find a coratortablo home at a price that they can pay. ! bo restaurant will bo for the uao of those and oil other women, and will furnish good meals at minimum prices, but men will have no part nor lot in it; it will.bo for women only. Knowing tho difficulties that women have to encounter in every effort that they make toward a lifo of independent labor, not only for want of opportunity, bat want of habit and training, aud sympathizing with every struggle, I cannot help thanking Mr. Stewart with all my heart for the great aid which he oxtends to tho most needy closB of Uod'n creatures.

To the Ptopl'. of South Carolina: The above Company was orgau'red In 1800, in consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of Southern policies by Northern companies. Tho unparalleled success of the enterprise, has forced sevoral of these companies to restore tholr Southern policies, troiu the fact that they could not operate In our midst without the oppearanco of honesty. Wo keep all our money at home to baild up our Impoverished country?every dollar of premium being safely invested in the Blate from which it is de rived. Tho institution Is purely Southern, and honco should appeal with great force to the patriotism and and sympathy of every Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpose to make war on other com panies, but to exhibit the special advantages offered by thla purely Southern Company?founded on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio cf assets to liabilities?tho true test of a company's strength?Is second to none on this continent, being nearly $300 to SI ou. Whenever and wherever we bave presonted the claims of this Company, It has. not only cul.sled the sympathies of our people, but has also secured their hearty co-operation.

August 19 2mos BkT A DEFENSIVE MEDICINE.?"IN time ot peace prepare for war," Is a sound military maxim "Let not the sickly season find you unpre pared." ia an equally good rule In medical Jurispru dence. The man saust bo made ol iron who finds himself at the close of summer as strong as at its commencement. Such a phenomenon la rare, even among the most robust of the human family. Mus cular and constitutional vigor oozes out of us In the broiling weather of Jnly and August, and few of us, at the opening of the fall, are in the lest possible condition to defy the unhealthy Influences of the saisira, fever and Ague and Bilious Remittent Fevers, together w.'tb a variety of complaints that affect the digestive organs, the liver and the bowels, form a portion of tho autumn programme. Bear in mind that exhaustion invites these disorders, and tbat stamlnal vigor enables the system to repel them. "To be weak Is to be miserable." says Satan to his defeated lesions. In "Paradise Lost," and the axiom is correct, though it comes from an evil source. Hoi then, ye weak and feeble, fortify yourselves against the Invisible enemy that pervades the au tumnal ab*. The best defence agatnBt miasma is a course of HOSTET TEH'S STOMACH BITTERS. Thla rare vegetable, tonic will Improve your appetite, stimulate your digestion, givo firmness to your nerves. Invigorate your muscular fibre, regulato yoar secretions, cheer your spirits, and put your en tire physique ID perfect working order. It is easily done. The standard tonic and alterative which will recuperate and build you up, la not "bad to take," but, on the contrary, a pleasant medicine. See, however, that you have the grnnlno article. There are imitations and counterfeits In the market, and thoy are all worthless or deleterious. Bear in mind that HOSTETTER'8 STOMACH BITTERS Is sold only in glass, (never by tbe gallon or caak,) and that each bottle bears a label surmounted by vignette of St. George 'and the Dragon, and our revenue stamp over the cork. Bept 11_?ao_6_ Kf SOLOMON'S BI rTERS.?THIS PRE PARATION, compounded by one of our oldest and most esteemed diugghus, has, during the short time in which it has been offered to the public, attained, a reputation which has almost entirely driven out of [ market tbe various tonics and stimulants which, for a fewmon'hs, by exorbitant pnfBng and heavy ad vertising, succeeded In building a profitable busi ness for their projectors, Solomon's Bitters are not of the flashy style, de pending upon large advertising, bought puffs and flclltlons recommendations for a sale to a gullible public. Their composition Is well known to and ap proved by many of our best physicians, aud the pro prietors depend upon tbo intrinsic merits of their 1 medicine to maks 11 as popular ss it is curative. They do net protend to offer a medicinal prepara tion tbat will cure all the Ills that flesh la heir to, but' they do contend tbat the judicious use of these Bitters will greatly allevlato human suffering, and bring very many to a state of comparative health who have long been strangers to that gr?a' blessing. One good genuine recommendation of any pro* forsed curative is worth dozens or hundreds of bought certificates, and tho Messrs. BOLOMoNS have only published a few out of the hundreds or un solicited testimonies which the have received. We this morning give a copy of alotter from Ron. ALtX. H.
