LA.URENS, S. C Aug. 4, 1806. Bearding the Lion. Mr. Bryan is to go all tho way from Nebraska to New York where at Madi son Square Garden on the 12th of Aug ust the committee on notification will ofllolally inform him of his nomination. This is right under the nese of Tam many and but a stone's throw from Wall Street. Bryan and the cctomlttoe aro to take the big trip that tho speeches may be caught up without delay by Hill, Whitney and tho news paper men and quickly disseminated to the four quarters of tho globe. Be sides as the West is all right, the point is to impress the East and the words spoken might lose some of thoir forco on tho hardened gold bugs by long dis tance transmission. Probably tho scheme is well conceived, and tho' gen tlemen of the committee will nodoubt enjoy tholr visit to the boor gardens of tho great city and tako in the summer musle. Watering places and sea side resorts are conveniently located and these lands can be spread out for pro per texts in the campaign just now about to bo sprung upon tho soothing country. It is Jones of Arkansas now and not Jones of Blnghampton. * * ? Above tho Law. Governor Evans doolinod at Florcnco to submit to arrost for a broach of the peace, taking tho ground that the Gov ernor was abovo and beyond the law.? It may bo so, but it is strango if it is so. Nodoubt, ho is head of the molish and might havo put any of tho local State trooops under arms. Long ago an ignorant party wont into a lawyers Oillco in this city and being a long winded fellow, tho Attornoy, an irrita ble gontlsmau and easily bored, in timated to tho party that ho had bottor go, that he tho Attornoy was getting tired. The visitor not taking tho hint tho lawyer frazzled out a convoniont walking cane on tho cranium of his visitor. The injured person ropalrod to tho noarost Justice but that ofllcer turned him off, saying that there was no law for a lawyer, and that that im portant personage, could beat whom ho pleased. See? *? * * "Undo Georgo" Tillman was the orator on tho occasion of laying tho cornor stone of a Court Houso for Saluda county a few days ago. He gibes at Charleston that that small town has made It impractical to have a Saluda Court House for these hundred years last past. Ho forgets that Cal houn sets up tho constitution of South Carolina of '08 as a model government. Ho forgets also that the Parish sys tom made now countios impracticable until 1805 and that that system was not a Charleston feature but apper tained to Colloton, Orangeburg and tho entire lower bolt of counties and that u majority of the upper counties sus tained that system. It was abolished by the carpet baggers and negroes in 1868, who gave us Oconeo and wo be lieve Alken. "Uncle George" must bo growing old and fooling tho weight of years. Charleston is not legitimnto game for him. it is tho rule of smaller Nimrod8 to make a target of Charles ton. Thoy should bo left their vocation ?argumont?moat and drink. Tho speech of Mr. Tillman wo think his torically untrue. While Charleston may have uphold tho compromises of tho constitution under which we lived until 1805, tho majority of the upper counties of tho Stato was with hor.? The slavery interest of the State sup ported tho Parish system from moun tain to sea and when slavery wont Oconeo, Aikon and Hampton came, and other counties followed and will continue to follow. Tho old constitu tion survived upon slavery. Slavery dominated tho State; there was op pression of no section, but tho most liberal and perfectly administered gov ernment that tho earth has scon. Wo aro not defending Charleston, but the truth and tho truth of history. * ? * Governor Evans urges that tho Demo cratic platform is tho Alliance plat form. Well, probably it is. But ah tho Alliance platform now has of the Alliance demands is free silver and free silver is tho Georgo Tillman, Stew art, and Teller platform. All will re member what a timo Bon Tillman hud at Spartanburg with Terrol insisting upon his wild demands about Sub Treasury and tho like, it is Tillman who lias beaten the Alliance domands. If ho had stood exclusively on free sil ver ho vould havo been in tho shoes of fry an, But ho dallied with populism lA Hat money and wo know "whero he Is at." ??? Is it a "gamo cock," a bluo hen's ? ?* chick, or a cock of the walk, that wo want to represent us in tho Unitod States Senate? There Is old Hoar of Mas8ohusett8, nearly a contenarian, and John Sherman of Ohio?"oh he Is old, old,"?is it oxpectod to beat anti tariff and anti gold nrgumonts into their ?old noggins covered over with silvery locks? Indeed, it Isn't how much of the gamo cock is in those old fellows but how much brains and skill thoy have for State-craft and how|many millions of voters are baok of them. We kops those "lying newspapers" are not mistaken in saying that Bryan Is sweeping the country and carrying every thing before him. We aro going to vote "straight" for our W. J. Bryan and we want him to win and we want it badly. We have been in the minority so long that we envy (a wicked weak ness) eur friends who so dearly love the rule of the majority. Yes, for some time pastes havo lain awake in *be ?WflJtff^M'^^o n?d considered of these long years. In Amorlky a newly arrived son of Erin addresses one of the sovereigns as "Your Honor," so the keotus in curia gentlemen of the bar the gowned dagni tary who conserves tho proprieties of the Court; in tho old North State?it is?''saving your Worship?and "Wor shipful sir;" in Georgy it is "Judge" and well, "Judge."

Lot tho "Clinton braves" como right up, march and countor march. Tho gates of our big city aro thrown opon for tho whole week all ajar and there is room for all tho melish in the State. AVe aro a big town, with big hearts and can hold a moioty of tho Stato. * Tillman having writton a letter to Duncan ondorsing Evans with a full letter of credit tolls Duncan that he is hands oil for tho future. Duncan should call to mind an old joke. Pctor the Great asked one of his courtiers if ho over told a lie? Yes, Sire, 1 toll a lie in tho morning, at noon it has had its effect, in the ovening I correct It. Tho ovoning of the campaign is right on tho heels of the noon. Ben Tillman cooked his goose whon he declared for bolting. Tom Watsons are mighty scarce in old South Carliny. Every now and thon you can hoar of a greeny (who don't koop track of Bengy) scolding about voting for Haskell and Pope. *** They aro hunting Bryan's pedigree very elosoly these days. Watch now and see if his groat grandmothor is'nt closely allied to somo of our old Edge field stock. It will bo a pity if his great great grandma isn't placed close on to Turkey crock. Since the Florcnco incidont it is said the Stute canvussors have re solved upon decent speoch and deport ment. Thoy aro likely to havo more time than thoy neod. Tho Tammany Executivo Committee endorses Bryan and Sewall but ignores the platitudinarian platform. Duncan says Mixon said Evans said Tillman made his Jack in whiskey re bates. Alabama and Georgia had their first bales on tho 28th, ahead of any pre vious year. Tho first bale in this Stato was ginned at Kingvillo on tho 28th and snipped on tho 29th.

Governor Evans Is presumably not acquainted around Anderson, or'elso he is growing very reckless ard indifferent as to consequences. His denunciation of Mr. J. 1). Max woll as a thief is tho acme of fool hardiness, and shows conclusively that Evans is not lit for the place he now occupies, to say nothing ol his aspirations for the Senate. Mr. Maxwell is an honest, upright citi | zoo of Auderson, and no man who knows him will presume to ques tion his integrity. Governor Evans is faat developing great facility in "waking up tho wrong passenger." ?Greenville Mountaineer.

Broad Street, Atlan ta, Ga General Southern Agent, - flights MEN, who hold the purse strings, often deprive women of articles of inestimable value. The wife pleads with her husband for a Piano or an Organ, which is tenfold more essential than the cigar and other luxuries in which he indulges. The daughter asks lather, or guardian, to buy an Instrument to enable her to cultivate that beautiful talent, music. Does any sane man not rcli/c this a reasonable right to plead and ask for? Reflect a minute ! Think of the means expended for instruction, and the many tedious hours employed in practice by wife and daughter, and of their glowing anticipations subsequently to be realized. Now, father, husband, or guardian, are you going to blast all these bright anticipations by denying them of this merited right?simply the gift of a Piano or an Organ? Give your wives and daughters their merited rights in the home, which is "Woman's Kingdom," then she will cease to clamor for politi cal suffrage. Don't plead inability when such liberal terms and prices are available. My prices are right, terms easy, and quality of Instruments un surpassed.
