Twilight Best, August 12,1879.
Mr. JJpiTOK: It is not often that I
volufatariiy rush into publip iiotlto and
still loss frequently through the col
umns of tho newspapers, and when I
do take the lutter position It is with
the commendublo desire of trying to
do a public gbod. Had I been foilow-
Jng the monotonous routine of busi-
uuss liiat Las- clakuod- my-tdmA»-ap4
attention for so many consecutivo
months, without tho little break that
occurred last week, and for which I
now think that I sh^ll forever be
thankful, this letter never would have
been written. I must confess that I
have become ao attached to a certain
old chair Miat It was with reluctance I
left it. Mr. Editor, you know that old
chair—that old arm ckair that squeaks
when It revolves, with a great notch
whittled In one arm by; some idler
whose pen-knife was sharper than his
wits ; that old arm chair that sthk-
eth cl sor to mo than a brother and
wont wear out y'our pants. Yes, Ma
jor, I was sorry to leave it. But I am
glad that I was made sorry, for I feel
amply icpaid for all of tho regrets
that thtTbrief separation sprung. Yes,
good bye, whi chair ! artrF-mrrrj f-go,
off on the iron horse, travelling ninety-
five miles to go thirty, all tho way
around through Augusta to get to
Aliendale. While I do not regret that
on the present occasion, as I met sev
eral eld filendsand was well taken
care of at the Augusta Hotel nud had
a good time generally during tho seven
or eight hours that I had to lie over
before the Port Boyal Railroad left,
yet I may not like tilth delays every
time, so I now pay hurry up, Mr.
Woodward, with the Barnwell Bail-
road, and don't weary in well doing
until you terminate at Allendale. Al
lendale 1 Why, by tho way, that Is
what. I began to write about. I will
cot attempt a description of my jour
ney U;c‘ro, for it was night and I could
see nothing, but will jump right off at
Allcudale depot at twelve o’clock at
night—“fu media re,” and under sucli
surroundings as to be wholly unable
to distinguish tho “media” from the
“re.” But though a stranger and for
tho first time in the towi^they followed
tho scriptural injunction and took mo
in, and they kept mo in—in the height
of pure, healthy, social enjoyment
from the tithe I landed until I left, X
enjoyed myself exceedingly. Thanks,
friends, thanks. You have got a town.
It is a place, a nice, pretty, thrlviag.
place, a credit to its inhabitants and
the surrounding community, and jou
all are worthy of it. What surprfses
me is this, that having such a nice
town, filled up with such clever people
aud surrounded with such a fine coun
try settled uf> by such generous, thrif
ty and intelligent citizens, that you do
not let your light shine. I don’t mean
that you should blow or brag, you
would not do that I know, but you
could and ought to let tho advantages
of your town and community be known,
for your own good and benefit as well
as for the good of others. I know you
arc not a bit selfish, and would ball
worthy and substantial additions to
your locality. I knew some of you be-"
fore; I know more of you now. and as
sure you that I will ever be pleased to
hear of your prosperity. Then don’t
put your light under a bushel. With
a fine agricultural country around you
and such energetic and Intelligent gen
tlemen as I met in your town to culti
vate It, you are bound to prosper, and
I heartily wish you a so niote it be.
Mr. Elitor, I intended to mention
some‘of the clever, generous friends
that I met there, but find I have ao
1 \
randomly written, and spun it out so
Ions, that I will have to put that ctf
for another time. Suffice it to say
that all ot them did the -bapdsome
thing by me and have my thanks. If
you don’t believe it, try them yourself,
aad see 1. e. If they like you os well.

.’wis uaceaaary..lQr succcgs*. not only
to da the right thing, but to do the
right thing at the right time. The
most casual observer may note tho
fact that tho approaching presidential
canvass is to bo contested upon the
oldest traditional line dividing parties
in this country. The question is, wheth
er tho people aud the States aro tho
origin ot power ; of whether the Gen'
oral Government is a source of inher
ent authority.
Tho Democratic party, by its pre
cepts, history and traditions of a cen
tury’s growth, is fully committeffto
the docrino that tho General Gororn-
ment has no powers, except such as
aro granted to It by the States aud the
people. And that the powers so grant
ed to It should bo exercised strictly In
aid of that public agency which is
called the General Government; aud
not to tho hindrance or disparagement,
much less to tho destruction, of any of
tiro rights reserved to tho States and
tho people.
Hcnco, tho intervention by tbo Fed
eral authority in the elections hold by
tho States, either for members of Con
gress or for other officers, is plainly
a usurpation. It makes no difference
has. the tnterveBtion occurs, wheth-
' er by military force or by the instru-
! mentality of United States marshals,
I supervisor! or inspectors, so called. It
is iu either case uwise, Illegitimate and
| unauthorized,
Military intervention is especially
odious aud hateful to a free people, or
one desiring to remain so, because it
proposes tc suppress the impartial ex
pression of opinion, tho murder of
thought. Judlcial intervention, if pos
sible, Is still more odious, because it
seeks directly to connect tho courts,
which should bo tho administrators of
impartial justice, with the lowest and
vilest practices of partisan manage
ment.
Isterfcrence by tho General Govern
ment with respect to finance, except to^
provide for the necessary expenses of
ly Included in Its management, is, of
all Interferences, tho most dangerous
and the most unnecessary, because it
has afforded the minority, the greedj’,
grasping and corrupt few, an occasion
to fatten upon tho calamities and to
make large gains from the misfortunes
of the unsuspecting multitude. We
: have no doubt that a very large ma-
J jority of tho people of tho United
j States have, for these reasons, certain-
! ly concluded that It wero better to
have ns little as possible of Federal
intervention—indeed, none at all—and
that the power, action nud influence of
tho General Government ought to be
strictly and closely confined within the
limits prescribed for them by consti
tutional order. It is tho expression of
this sentiment finding voice, at all
timejj, In all places, among men of all
parties, which not only presages but
assures Democratic success In tho near
future.
That great episode in our history,
tho civil war, between tho adhering
aad seceding State's, grand as it is for
its record of devoted patriotism and
brilliaqt vabr In defense of the Union
and its authority, was hot without Ds
evil consequences. Among these was
the aggrandizement of the power of
tho Central Government, the blotting
out for tho time being of any other.
But a peace has at last come to us. It
Is not a peace only between the sec
tions, a peace of the North or of the
South, it is not merely a cessation of
actual hostilities, or tho restoration of
tho seceding States to practical rela
tions with the Union, it is a peace foN
lowing ail that; It Is a peace pure, pro
found, lasting, considerate and bene
ficent—tho peace of a whole people de
liberately asking a return of the ad
ministration of public affairs to the
ancient system and methods of liberty.
It is this great sentiment which is
waiting fur expression In 1880. Its
voice-only needs,utterance, only the
opportunity to bo heard. The votes
noet^ only to bo cast aud counted to
secure Its success.

What State ought to lead in such a
canvass ? We say It should be a State
of mixed population; a State inhabi
ted equally by the descendants of emi
grants, both from the North and South;
a State bound to tho North by its ear
ly pioneers from Pennsylvania, New
York and New England ; bound to the
South by its hardy frontiersmen from
the Caroliuas, from Tennessee, Virgin
ia and Kentucky; a State bount) to
theUufonby her fidelity and loyalty
to the Constitution, and tho memory
of her fallen brave In every battlefield
of the great conflict. Such a State
may well claim to be the champion of
constitutional liberty. Indiana, inhab
ited as she is, by a people, sprung
equally from both sides of the historic
line of Mason and DixGo, is eminently
the mlddlejgrouud of National senti
ment and opinion. In the heart of the
country, she may well claim to furnish
its head.

such a one might well claim, on ac

him, tho confidence and support of the
public. But there is one whom the
State has delighted to honor ; of No*-

character, aud who is presented for the
suffrages of the National Convention.

Ho is not tho exponent of the special

The gloom that has been fur months
darkening the Lanchshlre cottoti trad©
grows deeper and deeper, and no one
can tell how and when tho depression
is now passing through -the most
severe crisis in Its history. Tho de
pression 4s more severe than during
the terrible cotton famine at the time
of tho American war, for thSn it was
known that peuoe in the TJnitecI States
would bring back trade, while now

iLmuch dtvhjjjk>n of opinion as to the
proper remeay. The general Idea ap
pears to be that the cause Is “over
production,” and la the absence of ex
citing Continental causes this is prob
ably the case. But how to curtail
production—that Is the question that
has for a long time been discussed.
The conflicting Interests which exist
have, however, defeated every plan
that has so far been devised. The re
duction of wages is not enough to
counterbalance losses, apd it is ad
mitted that trade is not to be remedied
by obliging operatives to make further
sacrifices. The short time movement
is spreading, but it is not yet thorough
ly systematized ; but even if it should
bo tho eystem will only servo to ame

of affairs will be brought about again

best told by the balance sheets of the
stock companies. Nine-tenths of them
have not paid a dividend for two or
three years, and even with an Imme
diate resumption of good trade some
of them would not bo able to pay a
dividend for several years to come.
Tho fact that many of them have
lived so long under these circum-
etancea would be astonishing If we did
not know that they were sustained by
loan capital. But they will, of course,
exhaust even loan capital after a
while, and one company owning one
of the finest mills in tho district has
been obliged to stop from this very
cause. The situation may be summed
up thus:
reported to bo a Jack of all trades,
preacher, carpenter, blacksmith aud
farmer, but has latterly turned his at
tention to conveyancing, for which he
displays no special talent. Harvey is a
very short specimen of humanity, of
a roving disposition and export lu
handling cards. Landrum is a copper
colored Hercules of a domestic turn of
mind, but unfortunate in his married
life.
Some years ago hie first love desert

had wearied of his bettor half he pays
five dollars for her and makes her
goddess of his cook pots, while

A Fibe WonsHiPFER is North Cabo-
lima.—About three years ago tbo Ob
server reported the case of a citizen of
this county who, Laving married in
1813, lighted a flro on his hoarth-etone
as soon as ho carried his bride to bis
new home, and had kept It burning
over since. Tho citizen was In town
yeeterday, and being questioned about
the matter qlated that the fire was
still burning, and that throughout all
these thirty-six years It had never
been allowed lb go out. Questioned as
to whether or not It made the house
uncomfortably hot In torrid weather,
he said the extra heat thus generated
was not perceptible. In reply to an
other question, be said that In summer
weather, when it was necessary for
comfort’s sake, to keep the fire burn
ing very low, ho had to get up fre
quently at night to replenish It slight
ly, but that he counted this as'noth-
ing when be contemplated the Idea of
that fire going out. Ho has evidently
formed for It a strong attachment,
and yet one would not take him for a
sentimental man. But this flro Is to
him a constant reminder of the day
when he first brought home his
bride. Around it his children have
grown up Into manhood and woman
hood, and their children have gazed
into Its light its was the last light
that fell upon the eyes of his wife, and
he hopes that it will be the last that
will fall upon his. Viewed thivi his
sentiment in the matter can be under
stood; and so strong is this eentoment
that with the old man It amounts al
most to a- passion Charlotte (N. C.)

Josh Billings on Marriage.—Sum
marry bekose they think wimmln will
be scarce next year, and live to wdo-
der how the crop holds oat.
Sum marry to get rid of themselvte,
and discover that the game was one
that two could play at, and neither
win.
Bum marry lor dove without a cent
In their pocket; not & friend in the
world, nor a drop of pedigree. This
looks desperate, but Is the strength of
the game.
Sum marry in haste, and then set
down and think it carefully over.
Sum think It over fust, and then set
down and marry.

from his home since Thursday last.
His brother, Arthur M. Weeks, of 215
Halsey street, Brooklyn, saye that
Charles was engaged to Miss Jennie
Brownell, of White Plains, who com
mitted suicide on July 28, and It Is
feared that grief for her bos driven
him to the same fate. Miss Brownell
was the only daughter of the late Cap
tain Brownell, U. S. N., and an attrac
tive, accomplished girl of 17. She
lived with her mother, who bad under
taken the charge of the household of
Mr. Daniel Griffin, of Whits Plains.
About three weeks ago Mr. Griffin
died, and Miss Brownell was profund-
ly. Impressed with tbo death b^d
scene. She became so nervons that,
by the advice of her mother she spent
two day with friends at Hilton on the
Hudson. There her manner was
strange, and It was remarked that she
spoke of having tbo materials of a
dress which she did not expect to
make up, because sbe did not think
she would live long enough to need It.
But after hdr return home, she re
sumed her wonted vivacity. On tho
25tb, however, ehe was found very 111
In her room, and complained of a
burning sensation In her stomach. A
phytldan prescribed for her without
learning that she hac^ taken poison,
and after he went away her agony
continued to such an extent that she
was closely questioned. She finally
confessed that sbe bad taken oorro-
slve sublimate, which bad been used
In the house for cleaning purposes.
She positively refused to assign, any
other reason for her act than that she
was tired of life, and. no cause could
be ascertained. Although physicians
were summoned, and the usual anti
dotes administered, sbe died.
