GOVERNING ON BUSINKSS PH1N ^ CII'IjKS. We believe thnt Grover Cleveland ii faiiUful and honest in his purposes Thnt his purposes are to give to his rul ministration the Rtrengfh and solidity o an administration conducted upon saf< country will be improved thereby, thn twc favored a Deniocrntic postmaster Cleveland seems to liuve been of a dif torent opinion. We suppose we wil hare to give up to him. There is thi consolation in the appointment of Pear son. There are many business men ii 'Now York and elsewhere throughou the powerful manufacturing and busi ness North, who care solely for a govern nicnt that will be so stable as to shoe] a? little as possible the business inter ests. To them politics amount to litth dollars and cents to everything. The; hold no offices, they care for none, ant their political sympathy goes out warm ly to those who will ensure to them b; example rather than precept tliat _thei guiding principle is a solid and safe gov eminent. It is possible then that in thi view of the matter the democracy wil -gun that floating element whose idea government is one, not of constan wholesale upheavals, but of steady, sur development, and in the end Clovplam will be right. It is impossible to fore 'cut the effect of four years of sys tcmatic courageous maintenonce of th principles that have so far actuate Cleveland in his thirty days reign. Th bow of promise is certainly in the heav , ens. We trudt that he may be faitlifu - v A TKMPESF IN A TEA-POT. Atlanta is shaken from centre to cii . cumference on the dancing questioi Several years ago they indulged iji - Jinl/WAkfiummramusing agitation, when a prominent Presbyterian gave a dance at his residence. Now the fun has begun again and is fast and furious. Like so many religious discussions there is an inordinate amount ol bitterness and unchnritablciioss displayed for the enlightenment and gratification of those who do not belong within ' the sacred fold. W&^nniend ' lowing: rem?H^?il^$^Jas G. Ann"*'' *' "* ^ - "ZP '' . strong rector of St. Phillip's Kpiscopnl Church in Atlanta, as expressing in a few words the true liberal doctrine ii. th&-premises: "I cannot commit myself to the position that dancing is wrong. Humanity need.1 amusements, and dancing is one furm of amusement in which the most refined and cnltivated members of both sexe? do now participate, as they have always done. In view of this fact and of the character of the ladiep who. whithout re spect to religious or ecclesiastical affiliations, have made the move towards this charity ball, 1 should shrink back with horror from regarding it us, in itself, sensual or tending to sensuality. So - long, therefor, as tho matter is in the hands of those ladies whose names have heretofore appeared in the public print ju having it in charge, 1 can fully giv& it my sympathy. And I should like to see religion entering more" thoroughly into the every-day life of humanity, and tliip including its amusements, and thus becorning a determining, practical power, instead of, as it hns been too frequently represented, a iper? Sunday garment, or as something to bo boxed up and labelled Roligion.' . A mother must show some sympathy with liar children in > <> 1 amusements, nna in uie gratification of all their legitimate instincts if she would draw them to her and save them from meanness and wrong.' " il/f TWENTY-SIX YEARS OLD. Our neighbor the Press iiml Banner completed its twonty-sixth year, under the management of its present proprietor, last week. In the Southern States there is no abler weekly paper than the .Press and Manner. Very frequently ' in our journalistic duties we feel called upon to express different aentimcnts from (hose Bet forth io tho oolurqns of our contemporary. But this does not prevent opr entertaining and expressing the warmest feeling of Admiration for the ability and excellence of that paper. We venture to assert that no weekly pa. per anywhere publishes a greater variety of entertaining and instructive matfar and news than the Prosa and Ban...... J. .... jicr. us editor is a forcible, fearlu&n l? and frank writer. Its mechanical ^make-up" is superior to that of an; journal in the State, and its influence U not second to that of any paper within the limits of its circulation. It affords ns much pleasure to speak kindly of our neighbor from whom wc ' bate received various acts of kindness, and we heartily say long may it live tc ' be aq feoDor to journaliam and to oui Stylish rtiillinery. tteli & Calpftin* ousiness principles* Cliques, rings, par tios, the "influence" of Congressmei aud professionel politicians have in weight with him, nave when they main tain the conduct of governmentnl ntlairi upon a safe business basis.

Tt naturally caused a considerable i amount of heart buro when our san. guine expectations have been so disastrously dissipated as -they have been, . politically, during the hist thirty days. The retrospect is very painful. The battle cry ''turn ?he rascals out" has not been heeded by the man of destiny and * while we have implicit faith in the in* tegnty of his purposes and in the ulti* mate success of his administration we f cannot hut regret, in mfV disa'ppoiiitJ inent that all things have not turned out " as wo expected. 1 The Senate has adjourned and South 3 Caiolinn returns empty-handed from * Washington. There is no State in the s Union where imtnediat reform is so e much demanded as in South Carolina, f Yet Melton and Taft and Johnson and e Wilder and a score of other towering n poppies are left in tho garden to blost som and draw nutriment from our naV live soil. In the distribution of foreign ' missions we come up missing also. 3 These disappointments naturally leave * an uneasy, rutfled feeling in our breasts. y but for tho public good, the welfare o( " the great commonwealth w? will take it ' as our portion, hoping for better things e in the future. Cleveland has certainly c given great promise of an impressive 0 administration, which in the vigorous 1 support of tho principles of civil service ' reform will certainly leave its stamp up" on the history of the country, and will ' ensure peace and prosperity with stabils ity and conllt'ence. 1 MONEY LOCKED L l\ t . It is said that in the large cities of New York. Boston. lMiiladelnhia and ^ others there are huge piles of money lying itlln, and almost begging iuvest, mcnt at from four to six per cent. In P this portion of tho world the article is ^ about as plentiful ns the fabulous incisors of the domestic fowl. Where any y is loaned at all, it commands readily ten r per cent, payable annually, secured by . mortgage of real estate. Capital howB ever is sensitive and until confidence i.? j secured between lender and borrower j the attempt is futile. Its horns are t drawn in as soon as the slightest brcatli e of doubt stirs the financial atmosphere, j It is natural to expect that capital should be slow in coining south imniediately after the war, but now time# e have greatly changed. Our government j is secure, our lands are being imlustrie ously and intelligently worked, and wt see no reason why confidence should i not bl> rnstnrnrl. mnl lht> northern rnniln I. ? - induced lo look southward for investment.

Tlio audacious attempt of Ountemnln to conquer the neighboring Republics h sended as suddenly as il bi-gnn. Willi tlie news ot the dentil of llftrrios, I lie bold and nn-crupnlous adventurer in whose active brain the ' movement doubtless originated, comes the intelligence that the Legislative Assembly of Guatemala has i iiiullcd the decree in which ' be declared the union of the Central American Republics and proclaimed himself Dictator and supreme military chieftain of the whole. Hostilities have been suspended, anil the war I of conquest has been virtually brought to a close. So endeth liarrios, aiuf with hint prnb ably ends the lint line of petty tyrants with which the Central American Slates have been severally and collcctivelly afflicted, or threatI tned, for a hundred jenrs, und from the rule of which class even the Mexicau States have but recently escaped. As for Harrios > hinit-elf, his death is a source of satisfaction I to the people whom he aspired to rule, and will be regretted bv very few persons, perhaps, in I the particular State of which he was master. The promptness with which the Gaulemahm Assembly has retraced its stijis shows to ivlial a slight extent the people of that Republic were interested in the plans of their leader, and that they, in common with their neighbor* mid the rest of the world, perfectly well undorstofld lll<> Irnii lillltivn nfliiu nmiliwil V..I the union of the Central American States, but their subjection, was the object of his ambition, ntid the first step was simply u menus to accomplish the second ami principal fipiwhich he hud in riew. The charac:e-0f j|,t. j man was too well known to nlJpiP-iiim nose . as a patriot in even the l.ifited sphere to which ' his operationJiajJPVR'confined, and it was to , Job VXWclM TTiat his character, or conduct j would be improved by the possession of larger < powers, and ihe control of h larvor Held where- j in to exorcise tln-n^ ^Jb?t ^ union of the Central Aine'^Vit 1 ( Republics, Hurrios declared hjmsclf their-crti- j preme Killer and his true object who thereby < made plain. The threatened Republics, re- ( cognizing their danger, rose in defence of their , rights liberties, and hv one brave efl'ort Iikvo ( overthrow the invader !iud established a firmer , and surer basis of independence than ever be- t fore. t It is not likely that the desperate attempt t of Unrrios will on repented bj any feebler imitutor. W'lint he tried to accomplish by force, " and for his own personal jnd?-, will probably be effected at no verv remote day, but it will j be accomplished without violence nr.d without bloodshed, and for a belter purp.?.*e, Kven j should a second Barrio* arise, or sh<-u>d one . of the email Republics attempt to coerco its 1 sister States, the lesion ot the revolution just t ended is too plain to be misunderstood. ] force cau and will be met with force, and, ( either by their own might or that, of their . IHiwerful neighbors ou t he north, the iude- ' pendence of the several minor States will be I maintained. Mutal interests 11114. aims, and ( the obvious advantages of union, will sooner j or later impel the citizens of ( uatemala, San Salvador, Costa Kieu, Ilondurns and Nicaragua to form a voluntary confederation under ' one government. Divided, they have preyed 1 upon each other, ntid fire menaced with the ( threat of annexation to Mexico. United, < they will constitute a respcctnlde and powerfill government, the stability* of which would 1 be guaranteed by their own combined C sireu^ht, and, if necessary, by that of the r United States. The hint which Minister <; Morgan gave to the Mexican Government a . few years ago will not be forgotten, and no : circumstances are likely to arise under which ' that govefument would be warranted in in- . lerierinjr witu the allairs oltlio new Republic ilint is to be. # ' . Not the least cause of satisfaction, indeed, in the connection with the overthrow of l>arrioH, lies in the fact that his defeat was accomplished without the aid of Mexico, and that the people ofthe invaded Status appealed ' to the United States for protection in the hour of tlieir need. The revolution ended, it ' is true, before the United Slates had gone be- 1 yond moral suasion, but it is signilicant of the relations of this Government to other Governments on the continent that its author- " ity should have been recognized in such an emcrgencj', and that its power should have been so proniptlv and confidently iuvoked for tho protection of Governments eo far removed from its boundaries.?A'etci and Covritr. .

Stokes, suit for oounsol Tees and expenses. Mr. Grajdon was retained by Mr. Stokes, some time ago to aid in the conduct of some of the numerous c?ses in in which that gentleman has appeared as plaintiff or defendant and which have made his name as faniilnr in our legal annals as that of J John Doe or ltichard Hoc. Mr. Stokes has ' failed to pay Mr. Oraydon, and the result was " the very uncommon event of personal litiga-. tion between two lawyers. ' Mr. Stokes was in high feather. Ho appear- v ed in his own defonco and in an elaborate bou- f toniero purchased at (he inauguration and 2 worn since as a memento of that happy occa- y sion." It was a warm day, anyhow, and lie de- ' voted himself to making it warmer for his " brethren of the bar. A dozen or so of them 'I took the stand to testify to the justice of Mr. v Oravdon's claim and Mr. Stokes cross-exam- -s ined them severely, having them where thev 0 usually have witnesses and improving his op- * portunities to the uttermost. ' "Are your feelings ' toward the defendant * friendly V" asked Mr. Stokonuf nn? ?r ?>iu i most distinguished and respected lugal vie- " tims. * My feeling is one of indifference. I havo nol ( eared to make a companion of him," was the 1 rcplv. 1 .Well?er?has the defendant ever cared to ' make a companion of von?" was Ihc next -f question which turned the laugh and demand- " ?d a negative reply. 1 The circus culminated when Mr. Slokes, ' having put up no witnesses for Ihc defence, ' nyide a speech an hour long, in which lio used ' a Ions wanted opportunity to unbosom him- ' self and exprvss his opinions 'of his brethren * with candor and force. lie took them np one ' by one and proceeded to enlighten thejury re- 1 garding their characteristics as men ami law- * vers. It was a great, effort. Tlio verdict was for the plaintiff. $1582.50, the full amount sued ' for. In the case of Iiraft'man vs. Siroud, suit on * note,.!. Lee McDavid won his spurs on the ' civil side of the court. He represented the ' plaintiff, and Nix, SShuman k Nix the defen- 1 dant, who pleaded payment and minority, the ' note having been paid to the oiginal holder in-* * stead to the party to whom it was assigned Vtfrdict for plaintiff.?(irctiixille Sues, 1 < Dentil of Rev.
