Governor Tillman is carrying the "franking privilege" to an extent hitherto unknown to the State oflicials. Ho not onlv rides on a free pass, hut it is actually reported on good authority that the Express Company is "dead-heading" his butter anil eggs from his farm in Edgefield. We suggest to The Statu to investigate his telegraphic business and it. may find that his telegrams are. also "ilonil-hi'iiileil " lTn owimaos ?? ^..x.? "V to make hay while the sun shines. The iiat has gone forth from the President of the State Alliance that the discussion of the sub-treasury scheme bv National Lecturer Terrell and Governor Tillman shall be before the Alliance alone. This means the defeat of Gov. Tillman before he utters a word in debate. From what we can gather from the election of delegates last week a large proportion of the members of the State Alliance will go to Spartanburg prejudiced irrevocably committed to tbe dangerous scheme. The jury to try tbe case is hardly open to conviction, however strong the Governor may argue bis side of the case. The discussion being in private with closed doors, the arguments of the contestants will not likely ever see the light. This is to be d?]>k)rcd, for others than alliancemen will like to be enlightened on this absorbing subject. President Stokes says, the benefit of the scheme's success will not be limited to farmers, then others would like to see the arguments deduced pro.and con, and they might be induced to participate in assisting to bear tbe burden. Attorney General Pope said in his argument in the Cantwell case in /il l 1 ' imariesion tnat a man never gave his best reasons for doing an act. That few men excelled Gov. Tillman in letter writing, yet in his letter re moving Cantwell from the cilice of Supervisor he gave "the weakest and poorest excuse he could have offered.^ The Governor removed, or attempted to remove, on the opinion of the Attorney General, and yet this is the poorest excuse he could have offered, The Governor seeks the legal opinion of the Attorney General on a grave question, receives it in writing and acts thereon, then the Attorney General in open court gravely says it was "the weakest and poorest excuse he could have offered/' This is an example of self-depreciation not often witnessed in these latter (lays. As the Berkely Gazette very forcibly putt it: "So we have here in this gem of eloquence fulling from the august lips of tne grandiloquent attorn ey-gen or al, the admission that his written opinion, or that of his assistant,given presumably after' careful study, is utterly worthless, that the Governor is not to be relied unon. no mor* worthy of confidence even in matters of the gravest import than a fickle love-siek "young girl," and worse still, that he has been guilty of intentional falsehood and duplicity." "Scarcely anybody gives the bes-} and truest reasons for their actions," may ox plain the Attorney General's attitude in the lust campaign. He gave as his reasons the good of the movement, as |its success would redound to the advantage of the far4 mers, keeping in the background his "best and truest reasons." ?Indians are petitioning for representation in the world fair.

The Politicians, both democrats and repnblicnns, arc at their wits end to find out what, if any, part the Farmer's Alliance proposes to i take in the Ohio campaign this year, and ruses of all sorts have been unsuccessfully adopted to find a leak at the National headquarters of the Alliance here. To the credit of the men at the aforesaid headquarters there is no leak and everybody outside of the organization is in the < dark as to the intentions of the Al* liance. It is perfectly clear from the action of Ohio politicians, a number of whom have been in Washington 1 during tho last few days, that they fear the Alliance, indeed many of them frankly say that i' is impossible to predict the result without 1 1/n<kU'iiwr u'lin IMIV/l) 111^ M JIVIIIVI IIIV j VUKUJUV j / A VJ ~ poses to east its vote solidly, and nearly all of them admit that the : Alliance is strong enough if it chooses to do so to decide whether the next governor of Ohio shall be a < republican or a democrat. Of < course, if it runs a separate State ticket nothing can he predicted, be- i cause it is not known from which j party it would draw the most votes, i The Alliance leaders seem to fully ] appreciate the adage that "Silence is < golden" and although themselves ' strong advocates of silver they are ? willing in this case, to stick to gold I for the present. 1 Mr. Harrison's worst enemies must I concede that ho made an excellent / appointment when he selected Hon. 1 W. 15. ttimonds, of Connecticut, to 1 be Commissioner of Patents in place ' of 0, 15. Mitchell, resigned. Mr. Si- 1 monds is the author of several works on patent law and practice that tire regarded as authority by the profession; lie has for seven years been lecturer on patent law to the Yale law school; he served on the Patent committee of the last House of Representatives, and for many years he 1 i.ii. . . .. . I .. r jius uueii int' senior memuer 01 u firm practicing before the Patent Office. With this experience it will be strange if Mr. Simonds does not make a most efficient head for the Patent Office, Washington is going to enter the field for the great national conventions of next year. Heretofore she has been handicapped by not having a hall large enough to accommodate the crowd, but she will have a hall ready that will seat 7,00(1 people within three months. The old project of transferring the Pension Office, from the Interior to the War department has been revived, and from present indications it will be vigorously pushed in the next Congress. Secretary Noble and Commissioner Tlaum are under stood to be opposed to it, though one would naturally suppose, in view of the trouble he has had with it, that Secretary Noble would bo glad to get rid of it; but, come to think of it, politician8 never willimrlv . nv ? ? quish patronage of any kind, and there's a lot of very fat patronage under the Pension Office. The Post Office Department is now being completely re-organized, and in tho aew assignment of duties it is expected that Maj. Rathbono, who has jnst been promoted from Chief Inspector to Fourth Assistant Post master-General a newly created oflice, will be given control of the fourth-class post-offices, which will give him tho popular title of "official heads-manwhich has heretofore belonged to the First Assistant exclusively. 0 reaving given Mr. Harrison credit for one pood appointment, it becomes a duty to call attention to an action of Ins for which he deserves no credit. There were live cadets at large to West Point to he appointed, for the term beginning in Juno next year, and Mr. Harrison added his mite towards the building up of a military aristocracy by appointing four from well-known military families and one from a naval family, and yet it is the civilians who pay the taxes that go to maintain West Point, is it any wonder that the graduates of West Point, the people's free military school, affect an exclusiveness in their intercourse with us plain every day sort of folks? Hut their present uppjshucss is nothing compared to what it will be several generations from now if the idea that the cadetships belong exclusively to the sons of ucmy and navy officers is not exploded. Prom the best information obtainable bore there is no truth in the sensational reports of the dangerous condition of Mr. Blaine's health. It is queer how he could keep up constant communication with the State department, as he does, if he were so very ill. News is a little dull at this season and Mr. Bluino's dangerous illness makes about as good a sensational fake as can be obtained. If Secretary Busk survives the newspaper jokes which have been launched at him since he took the Weather Bureau under the protecting wings of the Agricultural department lie may be able to carry out some of his promised extensions of the bureau in the interest of the farmers. 3STo-w oris: X_iOtter. (Regular (Virrespondence.) The Glorious Fourth ?A Baby Camel?A Novel Amusement. Now York, .July <>, '01. We have had tin exceptionally ipiiet Fourth this year, the celebration being almost entirely confined to the great American small boy. lie, of course, has availed himself of his time-honored privilege to make a noise, shoot lire-crackers, and make the day hideous generally, but. the grown up portion of the community have endeavored, us much as possible, to get out of the way. Some escaped to the seaside, sonic 10 tnc mountains, but sonic had to stay at homo and make tlie! best of it. Genuine, o'd-fashionod celebrations of the Fourth in this sity seem to lie tilings of the past. Tammany Hall has its long and short "talks" by eminent braves, together with patriotic music, but it is a political rally in substance with patriotism worked in. Our artillery >n Governor's Island tire a salute at sunrise and sunset, our buildings ire decorated with Hags, old Trinity's chimes ring out, and beyond these things the celebration of the glorious Fourth is left to the rising generation. IIow nobly tlio latter fulfilled its part, the roaring din, the millions of exploded tire-crack?rs, and the king list of maimed lingers, broken limbs and burnt eyebrows?all these bear valiant testimony. A NEW ATTRACTION. Central Park menagerie lias bad another addition lately and this time it is a baby camel. The word ''baby' is misleading, so far as the V O' anitrial's looks arc concerned, as it a])])lies only to its youthfulness. It was born only last week bat is already about live feet in height and Iia8 a noticeable elevation on its back which is intended for a hump? some day. She does not weigh very much as yet, owing to the fact th.i she is mostly legs. Her appearance resembles that of a large ball of cotton on stilts. The color of her wool is white, and she walks with an unsteady gate, like a person with a half a jag on. The mother has not taken much interest in the youngster as yet, so the duty of nursing and other necessary attentions has fallen upon the shoulders of the keeper. She will not bo on exhibition until next week. MODERN LABYRINTHS. A novel amusement scheme is about to be inaugurated in this vicinity by a number of entorprising capitalists calling themselves "The American Labyrinth Company." The labyrinth idea is not very new, (being some five or six thousand years old,) but in France and England it. has latclv been rnvivnd it \a said, with commercial success. The company intends to at once establish labyrinths at Long Branch, Conwy Island and other pleasure resorts, nml in each one there will bo an intricate combination of puzzling passage-ways. One who pays a small entrance fee will find himself bewildered and mystified until he solves the puzzle by reaching the center. Ilero he will find a cool retreat and refreshments. After that he can rotum by a direct exit^ when it is safe to say he will not venture in again. Edwin Arlinoton. t HAIUIOAD m|8SACRK. Awful Instruction oi Lite at Itavenoii, Ohio. News and Courier. Cleveland, Ohio, July 3.?A special from Youngstown, Ohio says: At Ravenna the worst Railroad wreck which ever happened on the Western Reserve, excepting the Ashtabula horror, occurred this morning, resulting in the death of twentyfive people and the serious, if not fatal injury of at least six more. Fire added its terrors to the already frightful scenes, and the bruised and charred remains of the victims were badly burned, while 0110 poor woman pinioned in the wreckage was cremated before the eyes of tho spectators, who worked to secure her release until driven off by the flumes. The east-bound Krie vestibule No 8, due at Youngstown at 2.55 A. M., was very late and running on orders. When a stop was made at Kavenna the engineer and fireman of the passenger train went to work to repair the engine and the train was again detained several minutes. A Hagman was sent back, hut went only a few feet at most. Suddenly around t he curve west of the city came train No 82, composed of Swift's meat ears. The train was running TWENTY-10VK MILES AN UOUU. and coming down a heavy grade. The engineer supposed he had a clear track, and it being a through train he was not expected at ltavenna. lie called for brakes and reversed his engine, but ull to no purpose. On came the freight train with but slightly decreased speed, and no word of warning could be given the people in the doomed train. A few feet west of the station the engineer and fireman jumped, alighting safoly. A moment more and the heavy freight crashed into the passenger train. For a moment after there was the silence of death, then commenced the mcst frightful cries ever heard, the means of the dying, piteous cries for help from the imprisoned and helpless passengers, and the mutilated and bloody remains of the dead, seen through the fragments of do bris, formed a scene of iioitnon no ]>en can picture. The freight engine had gone clear through the day coach in the rear, through the sleeper and buried itself in the second sleeper, the third car of the train. There was nothing left of the train but a mass of debris, and the sides of Car 3 stood about the monster engine as if to hold it a prisoner and prevent further damage. The scene lasted but a moment when utile tongues of flame sprang up here and there, and soon the whole wreck was wrapped in lire. It was a sickening sight. Two 1 scores of imprisoned passengers in ( the debris; flames lighting up tho place with a lurid glare served only to intensify the horror without aiding the rescuers. As soon as the dazed passemgers in the other cars t*ecovered themsf dves they rushed to the rescue of their unfortunate companions. Tho tire department was immediately telephoned for and everyone in tin it end of the little city rushed to the scene of tho disaster. Hundreds soon sursouuded the wreck, but to lifctJc purpose. The awful ruin hu d been wrought and little was Id ft to do but to secure and care for the remains of the dead. A few passengers easily reached were -promptly rescued and several bodies of the dead and dying were carried up to tl i trie depot platform. A PLUNGMTO 1>HHTRUCTION Fi ft y-ei?lit IVrsrnts Injured in u Railroad Wreck. Charleston, W. Va., .July 4.?The worst wreck ever known in this part of the State, if not the worst that ever occurred in the State, occurred at about 8 o'clock this morning on J the Kanawha and Michigan Railway eight miles west of here. The passenger train for Columbus pulled out from here with two carloads of excursionists, among them the Order of United American Mechanics, who were going to Poca. The wreck occirrod on a high trestle. The sleepers* had caught tiro durincr the nicrht ami humeri sr. that tho rails spread under the train. The engine and baggage and mail car passed over safely, but two coaches were thrown from tho track. After running some forty feet 011 the sleepers tho forward car toppled to the left, and the rear one to tho right The forward car turned completely over, landing right side up. The other fell some twenty feet tnrning upside down, and one Ret ot trucks fell ou top of it crushing the cur tc splinters. Under this place most ol the dead were found. Surgeons and a relief train wert sent at once. The scenes among the dead ami dying were heartrending, One little baby lost its father and mother. One man's head was severed at the mouth, and his head wat fished out from under the wreck several hours after his body wm found: It is feared that there an one or cwo bodies yet under the wreck. Fifty-eight persons have beer counted who are injured, and a num ber walked away before they ooulc be seen. Of the entire number ol passengers but one, John Norvell, oi this city, escaped without a scrutch He was in the mail car. They poulticed liei feet and poulticed hei head. And blistered her back till was smarting and red, Tried tonics, elixirs, pain-killers anc salves, (Though grandma declared it was nothing but narvos,) Tho poor woman thought she must cor talnly die, Till "Favorite Prescription" she happened to try.?
