R. Rhoden. Foi.lrlCAL Points.—Small# is in fa vor of Logan for President but the other delegate* from this State to the Republi can Nominating Convention are about equally divided between Arthur and Kd- rounds. Some time ago Puck published a car. (oou in which Blaine was tattooed with the famous “Mulligan letter*” and since that time the clmuce* of the plumed knight have been waning rapidly. The frienda of Vice President F.«l- miHiil# ncw ckiro that he will mxki; Six months ago nobody thought that any Stalwart Republican would aland the ghost of a chance of getting the nomina* lion for the Presidency, yet Grant, Ar< tbur, Blaine, l/Ogan, Kdroundsand Sher man arc now foroino^t candidates of tlie party that retsius power through the mis take* of its opponents rather thnu by its own virtues. The Tariff Reformers say that the Tariff'issue cauuot he dodged in the next tnnipaign. In reply we submit that if the National Convention so dechrcs (he . party will act Imrinouiomly, but it alone has the power to formulate the platform on which the campaign shall be (ought and until it does so there cauuot be per feot peace in the Democratic household. Some weeks ago somebody invited Senator Vance of North Carolina to go smicwhcre and deliver au addrees on some subject. He excused his deelin*. tion upon the ground that the Demo cratic party was going through a crisis and ho wUlwd to be on hand until it wss ended. Did the great humorist mean that the Democratic Senators and Repre sentatives now on trial at Washington constituted the Democratic party or was Ke only joking ? r'" A profound political silence has come ovoi the Democialk experts who were most loquacious aud loud mouthed a few months ago. When fcsuggested that a forced agitation of tariff reform might bis premature and injurious they unani mously aud emphatically prophesied that if the Democracy did not auticipatc such action the Republican party would em- hlasun 1 Tariff Reform” on its banners and sweep the next and many succeeding electioQS. Where, Oh where arc tho*>e sooth sayers now ! Aje they reviewing their born books or studying the new platforms of the Republican party in the different States that are, without excep tion, pronouncedly in favor of protection? The Greenville Daily News thinks that country newspapers would effect great good by devoting mon time aui alien tion to the election of good county oS celi and Icsa to the conduct of Congrcss- thc nomination for the Presidency on the first bnllot. A Quaker Woman’s Sermon.— “My Dear Friends :—Tlierc are three things I very much wonder at. The first is, that children should be so foolMi ns to throw up stones, clubs, apd brickbats into fruit trees, to knock down fiuit; if they WMild let it alone, it would full itself. The second is, that men should be so foolish, ami e\en ao wicked, as to go to war, and kill each other; if let alone, they would die themselves. And the third and last thing which I wonder at is, that young men should bt so un. wise as to go aAer the young women ; if they would stay at home, the young wo men would come after thent.” ■Mailfern aftkeDeasawrailcPar. tjr Adopted kjr fhr skate Cod yraitea *f l»pd.

If the press should withdraw its supervis or;, hip from the drawers of five thousand dollars a year and mileage what would become of the country ? The subject U too sad for further consideration. ’ *’ r? A close and intelligent observer of the eoufse of public events, who is not an ac tive politician, said to us a few days ago : “The Democrats enn elect the old ticket, Tilden and Hendricks, but no other.-— 'As unfortunate course of the Democrats M Congress has placed the party in that &aerabk predicament Their nomina tion would be an appeal for justice and reform more magnificent than any plat form that could be adopted aud the American pdophs would see that the reins of 6myn,went were placed iu their head*.

The memorial cxercUcs at Rivers Bridge ou Friday, at tended by so large a convocation ot true pien Ind faithful women, were an assur ance that the heroic virtues of the sol dier rotid of South Carolina have not been forgotten jjnd that they will be transmitted to the descendant* of the pa triots who have made her history so gl-> riou*. The ceremonies were opened by an eloquent prayer from the Rev. I. 1’. Hawkins of the Lutherau ( hureh. By request of Dr. J. 1). Lockwood, Presi dent of the Memorul As-oemrion, Col. Robert Aldrich introduced the orator*of the day, Cap.. Samuif W.Trotti and the Hob. W. Gilmore Simmd. whose address es were worthy of their dhtinguishod loputatioua. And «ben ihcglntle hands of Lir women plated jbrre flowers upon the graves of lire gallant boys in gray who, surviving the wesry march, the privations of '.he Nonhern prison houses, the sulphurous carnage of the battle- fle'd aud the sufferings of the hospital, found ihcir last, long renting place in the warm honour of the Southland. And as l watched the paying of this tribute to the loved and lust and saw bright eyes grow dim with tears and young cheeks pale with emotion I felt in my inmost heart that if needful it would be sweet to battle and to die for the women of South Carolina. —— _ destroy good government in South Caro lina, by turuing to partisan purposes the appointing power of the Federal Gov- crumeot, is a standing menace to the people of this 8tste and a growing dnn- g er to good citizens in every part of the Union. The Federal offices in this State are made political infirmaries and train ing schools for the defeat of honest gov- ernmeut in South Carolina. IV. Ifonrst Home Rule.

The man had evidently boeu wounded aud crawled in-^ to a thicket out of sight, and there died. The clothing and accoutrements had all yielded to the touch of time, but the ghastly skeleton and the belt plate bear ing the letters “C. S. A. ” (old the sto ry. There were also tie remain# of a Catholic Bible, but so much defaced by its twenty year’s exposure to the storms and sun that uo name or Hue could be found to identify the dead warrior.

IX. The present Protective Tariff robs the many for the benefit of the few. The duties on imports should be decreased, and an oar'y repeal of the duty on cotton ties, on the machinery used in tho man ufacture of cotton and wool, and on tools and agricuTfurianmJIcincuts will stimu late manufactures and be a welcome re lief to tho farmer and laborer.
