MA. T. G. BAnKxt patriotically offered to run for Congress from tile Second District in 1876, provided no one else could be found willing to make the race in the face ofcertain de feat. He would be a good mnan to elect now should he consent to run. Ulls ability and purity would reflect credit on the Second District and on the party at large. IT is said thiat a hundred thousand copies of Jefferson Davis' book will be sold, of which a large number go to England. The book will appear aimultaneously in London and New York, and on that day Mr. Davis will bo in Canada, on British soil, in order to secure British copyright. If antici patious are realized, Mr. Davis will make a good thing of it, financially. Tnr Greenville News puts on its war paint, and utters a whoop against the "ins" as follows: We are so sorry the Saluda Argus is sorry that we are sorry about Con gressman Evine I As explained be fore, the people of Greenville do not deny Colonel Evins' right to take what action lie may desire in railroad or any other matters. In a struggle between the two cities for the Mi land exten sion he has thrown his influence against us. The next time we .esire to have a Congressman who is either in our interest or inipartial. Green ville asks no favors. She merely pro poses to help herself and refain irom strengthening her rivals. The people of this city are reasonably solidly in accord wiih the Daily Vewe on * this question, and we believe the county is Oumsideof all that, we will have a general "new deal" throughout the State next time, and it Is doubtful if any of our State officers wvill return. The "outs" hav'e concluded that they have waited long enough, and the voters agree with them. Colonel Till man's ienitaitiuoiite, like Alox. HI. as long as he lives and 'thoen run Is executor. It is probable that neither of the other three Congressumeni wiill be re-elected after the expiration of &heir present terms. There wili doubtless be a general shaking up at the next convention, and it is impossible to foretell how thme lightning will st rike. 'The-Diviciet House. Affairs in New York remain practi ))y unchanged. All of Conkling's efforts to force a caucus of tJi.e Repub lican part) hnve failed, and his organ admits that on Tuesday next tile party' will go divided iinto the Senatorial electiots for the first time in its histo ry. This means a deadlock until one side surrenders. As Blaine and Conk ling have not spoken for flfteeni years, personlal antagomism will intensify political rivalry. Thle Democrats are serene and will aid neither side. In Our op~iion1 cver'y day demon strates the wisdom of the Democrats in confIrming Robertson. Had lhe beenm rejected does any one0 suppose any serioun hullabaloo would have b~cen raised in New York? There wvoujld have been some meek grnm bling on thme part of thle half-breeds, but Conkling wvould have ridden roughshod over them anid still held New York in lis hlands. But tihe ac tion of the Democrats threw Conkling in a rage anid split the Rlepublicans ini the Pivotal State Grant has taken a hand, tan'l will require all of the Demi ocratic aid to give Garfild anid Blaine streingthm enough to make an even fight with the stalwarts. It is charged by Conkling's friends that this is a. comabinatioin of mnonopo lies led by Blaine to erumsh him, as lie is the determined foe of monopolies. This Is a ne0w p~hase of Conkling's charater'. Blaine is undoubtedly thle "slave of the ring," b~ut that Conkling is any better must be proven by other things than the utterances of his 1'eands. The people of the South would as aeon try the monopolists as thme bloody shirt, stalwarts, of whom Conkling is. chief. Monopoly knows no sectional-. jsm, and as it oppresses all p~arts of the country alike, its overthrow cani mnore easily be enicomp~assed. Bumt stalwartiem stabs only the Nath, and the South, unaided, en'~not succesful ly defend herself. iLet thme stalwarts - bnfliar destroye'd and then let the war begin on monopoly. Thme Democratic party Is anti monlopoly, and it Would have succeeds ed in this but for sialwartism. In the present divided condition of the Re' publican house is the Democratic op portunity.

A farther who owns his land, is oit of debt, and has on hand sufficient funds for the next year's supplies, I consider well off, and I see no reason wby he cannot go on and prosper, with aver age seasons. As to those in prosper Dus circumstances. I see no need for butating anything to "increase this prosperity:" they have it inl their owii power to keep oin prospering and to Increase in prolerity. As to those who are not prospering, you wish to know why.
