Pcndlcton Sound? tu? Keynote of the Campnigit. Tho Dcmocratis of Cincinnati scronadod Mr. Pendleton, their candidite for Governor, on Friday last. Iu the couruo of hia epoecb in response to the complimout, ho said: I ennnot agree with Governor Hay ea that tho vexed questions of national politics are wisely and happily Bcttlod; that tiro great questions of liberty and uniou havo been solved, and the reconstruction of the Union made safe. 1 can not agrco with him that retrenchment, economy and boacsly bavo been introduced into tbo management of the Federal expenditures; that tbo debt bne decreased and is decreasing as be etatcB it; that theburdcua of taxation have boen reduced and their weight upon tbc pooplo light ened; that eouud judgment and freedom from bad influences lip.ve been brought to the ex eroiao of the immense power of tho Secretary of the Treasury; that business ia active; that ontorpriso ia active; that vigor, cnurgy and in duBtiy arc bountifully rewarded; that employ ment is abupdant; that daily toil ia fairly com pensated; that commerce on tbo ocean and on land is prosperous; and therefore 1 cannot, Boronol; as does our worthy Govornor, turn my f.icu fro'm nil questions of Federal polit tes und look only at Stale afiairs. ? cannot say the Union ia restored, wben Virginia, Mississippi aud Texas arc under military government, and Georgia without representation in Congress; that tho Union is restored, when justice is administered by a drumhead court-mar- i Ual; that tho constitution is maintained, wben wo know that tho Supreme Court is only waiting for nn opportunity (o declare tho Reconstruction acts unconsti tutional. 1 oppose tbc adoption of the Fifteenth amendment because it is a material, radical change in our system of government. It destroys tho relation of tho Stales to the Federal Union which the constitution estab lished, and deerndos them; takes away from t'.ic States, without their consent, that ossontial attribute ol a self-govctning community. Two years ago the people of Ohio, without distinc tion of party, by nu immense majority, refused to amend the Hinte Constitution. I see no reason to believe that (hoy have changed their opinion. ' I object to its adoption because, by the strongest implication, it confers upon Con gress a right reserved to tho States, to ex clude from the ballot persons of our own white race, becauso of (heir nativity and want of education or properly, and prohibits tbo exclu sion only of another raco. If tbo inter pretation of Senator Morton and Senator Howard bo correct, under this amend ment Congress aud the Slates may exclude Irishmen, Germnus, Catholics, Protestants, or the poor man from the enjoyment of f nOrapc, but not the netrro or Mongolien. I object (o Ho mi i. it ion because it is part and parcel o! a ?Cheine' to flood tbc couutry with a forced im portation of an inimeuso number of Chinese, coolies, and to brinir into our fallen race a more difficult form of (he social and governmental questions thai have so unhappily divided our people. Mr. Pendleton dwelt at some length upon the financial qaostiou, rciteratiug his former assertions in regard to the payment of tho government debt and tbo bondholders in greenbacks, and abolishing the national hank system, nn?l the study of economy in reducing the national debt. TUE ZA Uli ES8 It AI Lit OAD SQ UAJIBZE The Statement of Mr. Joseph Crews. Wo bave roceived c long-winded communi cation from Mr. Joseph Crews, in reply lo tho lot ter or Dr. B. S. James ou the aalc of tho rolling Block of the Laurons Railroad, which waa publiebed in The News of tho 3.1 inet. The greater part of Mr. Crews' reply is made tip of an ex parte accouut of his individual aud confidential business dealings with Dr. JaracB. Those, we take it, arc mattery of no possible concern to tbo general public; and, oven were it otherwise, tbc language of Mr. Crewa in nar rating them is not such as wc could permit to appear iu our columns. Bui as it is a princi ple of The News to give every Bide a bearing, we make room for tboce portions of bia letter in which bo gives bis version ol tbo aalo of the rolling stock?a transaction which baa been so eevorely denounced, even by Govornor Scott's own Attorney-General. Mr. Crewa writes : a ? a ? * Now, as to tho sale of the locomotives. One A. M. Brodio and J. W. 8. Arnold obtained a judgment in tbo United States Court against the Luurens R.iilroadlCom.iany, Borne time in the winter of 18C8, upon tho coupons of tbc bondi of the compauy, tho paymont of which bonds and coupons was guaranteed bv the Stute of South Carolina. 'There wero Bold, un der that judgment, three locomotives, ono sta tionary engine, five box cars, two platform cars, t wo push cirs and ono crank car. I bid in tbo property in tho name of lt. E. Scott, who at that time knew nothing of my actions or intentions. I look a receipt from tho spe cial deputy of the United Slates Marshal who sold the property. I immediately went to Co lumbia and notified Governor Scott of my ac t km. Ho agreed to abide by it and whatever 'policy I doomed best for tbo interests of the State. Tbc property, was put up aud sold to the highest bidder, aud after being advertised the number of days required by law. All Ihut desired had an opportnnity t > bid, and Dr. Jam -s could have bid off the properly as well as 1 did. After (be property was Bold and Gov ernor Scott was notified that tho road waa be ing run to tbo great detriment of tbo intonate of the road and State, he advised that I should take charge of tho road, and cause all the pro ceeds, except what might he required to pay me lor my tervices, to bo apphd to repairing the track and rolling stock, uni il unit could be brought against tho company, and au equita ble ailjuatmcnt mado of tho wholo matter, aa but ween tho stockholders and the State. Tbo 8tato in 1859 guaranteed the bouda of the road to tho amouut of $75,000, tho interest of which was to bo paid sun. -annual! /. The bonds woro made payable in twenty yeu-a, bearing inter est of seven per cent. Section 2d of tho "Act to afford aid to tbo Laurenb Railroad Company," ratified 22d day oi December, 1859, says : "That so soon as the Bald bonds ahall have been endoraed, they shall constitute a lion upon the entiro proper ty of aaid compauy, including the road bed, right of way, grading, bridges and masonry, upon all tho stock subscribed for iu said com pany, aud upon tbo iron mils, chaira, spikes, equipments and apnuttcnancca of every kind; and the State of South Carolina, upon tho en dorsing of said h mils aud by virtuo thereof, ahall be invested with said* lien or mortgage without a deed from the company, lor the pay ment V e Haid company of said bonds with tbo inlcrc . thereon as tho same br comes duo; and it shall not be lawful tor said company to glvo, create or convey to any person or per sons oe body corporato whatever, any lien, inciimbr. 'Co or mortgogo of any kind, which shall hato privity over, or come in conflict with tho !i< n oi tho diato herein secured; and any such ). .., incumbrtmcc or mortgage -dull be null an-. void as against said lien or mort gage of iK- State, and the aaid hen or mort gage of the State shall bave priority over all other chums existing or to exist ugainat said company." the property I bid in was sold under & judg ment obtained upon coupons guaranteed by the State, and for tbo paymont of which the State held a mortgage upon the entire road and tolling stock. Dr. James denies having sold, bot says ho did, upon a few ocoasiona, exchange a few old castiuge with the Greenvillo and Co lumbia Railroad Company for new ones. 1 have ascertained from tho shops of the Chorlotto and South Carolina Railroad Company that he disposed of 21,100 pounds of old oar wheels, and 5195 pounds of axles, which ho had no rieht to do; and further that ho disposed of 8C67 ponnda of eastings and actap iron to Messrs. Goldsmith & Kind at 120 per ten. As Dr. James is SO boni ni, I would b? glad to have him inform tho public as to what hnsboccme of all tbo springs, stool, and largo piles of iron, and largo quantities of old iron formerly in the dopol yard at Lanrene. I do not htlicvo the rats at Laarens, be they ever so la ige, bavo been able to carry off this iron. Ho may answer it by aayiog bo exchanged it for now material for tho Lauronii Road, bat every one knows that this property is mortgaged to the rit ate, and it was bis duty to replace the etocK, which he wears ont, from the proceeds of the road aud not from the original pi o port y, of tbo company. Be is to as* tbe road ana pu t it in order.' Whoever board tell o[$200,000 worth of property being leaned to ono w<.u or set or men, without Home compensation l eing giron to the company and to tho publie. If the directors authorized Dr. James' to dieposo of tho entire property, except tho road bpd, it cer tf'nly beenmo tho duty of every good citizen to bold tbo directors and Dr. James responsible to tbo public for their acte. # * Joseph Cnirws. punaoifAz. oossip. ?The Hon.

In j order to render the reception of the purse aa little abhorrent as possible (o tbc member for whom it is designed, it is offered "in tbo first place to the oldest member; ho declines, and it thcu goes to the next oldest, and so to tho member previously agreed upon. This year the purse was to goto M. Jules Sandcau. It had regularly passed dowu the iist to the next preceding M. Bandeau's, which bappeucd to he that of M. Hugo, who, instead ot declining witb thanks, kept the money and sent a letter full of gratitude for the liberality of his fellow academicians. The disgust of tbc academy may be imagined. General Boaurcgartl, it seems, dyes. A letter from the White S.ulphui Springs, in sketching tho notabilities at c recent ball thero, says: "But what young man is that whoso raven locks and moustache may be seen wherever beauty and graco reign most decidedly? Some one whispers that it is Genera! Boaurognrd, tho great engineer and gallant soldier; but surely that cannot bo, for the last time I saw that great chieftain his hair was as white as driven snow, and bis bronzed features were not those of tbo ball room gallaut. But another look convinces mo that toy friond is right, es pecially when I remember the ready reply made by tho brave chieftain to one of tho belles who twittted him on this change. 'When I was in command of an army,' said ho, 'I used to dyo my hair whito to impress my soldiers wilb a proper respect for my age and position; but after tho war closed and the necessity passe- away, I allowed it to return lo its natu ral color I' May his locks never turn gray, and may bo live long to enjoy tho society of which ho is so brigbl an ornament." ?Somebody bae recalled a paragraph which went the rounds of tbo newspapers in tbo oarly years of the war, in which it was stated that a son of Lord Byron wa? a major in the Federal sorvicc, and that he was not, as might bo Bupposcd, a natural eon, but the fruit of the poot's secrotmarringo with a Spanish lady of rank and a Catholic. Major Byron was de scribed as a man well advanced in years, but erect and vigorous, and bearing a remarkcble personal resemblance to Lord Byron. Ho was familiar with tho noble family of which he claimed to ho a scion, and, indeed, had written a three-volume history of its members. Ho possessed many manuscript letters, personal relics and othor mcmentoee of tho man whom be claimed as his father, and could repeat almost every word of Lord Byron's pootical works. A correspondent of the St. Joseph Missouri Herald writes to that paper, stating his/acqualntanco with Major Byron, and recall ing a conversation with bim on tbo subject of Lord and Lady Byron's separation. Major Byron declared that L%dy Byron unluckily dis covered a portion of ber busband'a correspond once with his Spanish wife, aud although by tho law? of England and the .'awe of Spain tho marriage was void, she at once determined upon a separation. Major Byron mentioned to the Herald's correspondent the subject of Lady Byron's revelation to Dr. Loshtngton, and con tended that it concerned -Lord Byron's mar riage in Spain- The theory is, of oouree, within tue boon Is Qf possibility, but it is repeated here merely as an illustration oi the wide range of speculation which has been wasted in futile effort* to' disco vor the can se of ? famous matri monial quarrel.

JcnuicJune, the sprightly fashion writer and one of tho lights of the New York Borosis, couclndes her las: letter with th following very readable batch of gossip fur li.o ladies: Stopping into S to furl's on my wa 1 homo, tho otuur afteroooD, it suddenly gr?ir dark aud commenced ratainn heavily. TeVve. was no help lorit, I was weather bouid; I conld not ndo across town ,as no cars coin tbat direc tion, aud tho luxury of a carnage on the occa sion of sucb a hmall contretemps was not to bo thought of. Tho losi of one hour or more of rcy time was the great source of my regret until one of the gentlemen present suggested that I should utihzo it by taking a journey through the establishment. To this I assented, and wc took our setts in a carpeted, handsomely mirrored aud ciubrou cd car, and were rapidly, but with little pcr coptiblo motion, landed on what I conceived to bo tho top floor, until I found there wero two more above us. I am not going to either weary or entertain my readers with the exact number ot feet con tained in this enormous pile, nor (he size of the square which tho whole b.aiding will occu py when (Joupil's former art- gallery (now in process of demolition) has disappeared, and the structure is complete.!. Measurements convey ideas to my mmd onlv by comparison, and it will, thereforo, bo sufficient to -av that each floor would contain u dozeu ordinary tar in bouses?bar us, poultry-houses and all? and that there aro eight floors, including tho btaemont. It i>>. now altogether tbo largest and most complete commercial house iu tho world. Whet it will bo when tho area ot several more largo stores is adde.l to it, it tiro* one to think. My object, however, in writing this paragraph is not to eulogize Mr. Stewart or his enter prise, but simply noto him as ono of tbo ex traordinary facts of the day, and give sonio idea of his aims, and what he is doing to bring about their ac.-omplisbmt-nt. Eighteen years ago, when he was about en larging bis down-town store, a gcutlcif.au, a merchant, Hind to him: "Is it s jfe to do this, Mr. Stewart? Don't you know that you uro a very unpopular man?" "Yes," said Mr. Stewart, "I am aware or thai; but I don'l do business on that basis. My methed is not to obtai'.i popularity, but to compel people to buy of me." iho merchant never saw Mr. Stewart a.^ain, until a few days ago, and then looking around at tbo vast roault, bo rein laded hint ot tins conversation of eighteen years before, aud ac knowledged that Ihc principle nrust have boon 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 tue oraclo, he is the regulator ot prices, and it is a fact tbat ladice will appreciate that if Mr. Stew art should die to-morrow, pieces of dry goods would go up twonty-ttvo per cent. Of course bo has recognized the modem idea of ready-made clothing for women and children, aud witbin the email township ot space which success has placed at his disposal, bo aims to supply not only tho material for all hinds of garments, but the garments them selves, of every kind and grado, adapted to everybody's wants and everybody's purse. Tbo floor, by otio of tho windows dr which wo aro still standing, looking: down upon tho attics of the hotiBOB opposite, in devoted to tho manu facture'of ladies' and children's outfits. From four to six hundred girls and women aro em ployed in this department, and tbo demand would bo such that tho number m.glit be trebled, if the work was properly superintend ed aud tho piiruary idea tully carried out. But this requires a womin as well as man. It requires a woman of groat uitural capacity, with tho experience of a motbor, tho taste ot a lady, tho perception of an artist, the tact and judgment or a financier, and tbo energy of Susan B. Anthony. S.nno sucb woman ia pot baps rcouring knives in her little kitchen, but tho world ana Mr. Stewart knows nothing of bcr, an! bis great design, therefore, of supply in g all tho women in tbo wot Id with well-made and well-fitting garment*, at a reasonable cost, is marred and rendered Imporfoct by boing in trusted to half a dozen incompetent superin tendents. It is true, howevf r, that even now a lady can go to Mr. Stewart's and fit herself hom bead to foot, and ow supply a family of children with m any useful articles. Bat tbo departments are not properly systematized, aud tho lines of goods f.ro not complete; the garments are not troll graded, and thsro aro no complete outfits for ladies, children and infants, o! diff?rent styles and prices, which would ropresent at once to tho purchaser what conld bo obtained for a given sum. It is a haielifel opinion to advance, I know, but 1 must say it: tho daja of family sewing are numbered. Fifty years from now it will bo I as rare for women to make the garments of a family at homo as it is now for them to spin tho linen.

The man must bo mode of iron who finds himself at the close of summer as strong aa at He commencement, such a phenomenon is rare, evcu among the most robust of Iho human family. Mus cular and constitutional vigor oozes out of us in the broillDg weather of July and August, and few of us, at the opening of the fall, are in the best possible condition to defy Ihc unhealtby Influences of the season. Fever and Ague and Bilious Remittent Fevers, together w tb a variety of complalDis that affect tho digestive organs, the liver and tho bowels, form a portion of tho autumn programme. Bear in mind that exhaustion invites these disorders, and that staminal vigor enables the system to repel tin m.
