Randall, of Penn sylvania, who has been quite sick, is ong~ress is still discussing the tariff Stuestin. A final vote it is said will be reached on the Mills bill on Saturday. Mr. S. C. Hughson, who has been on the Register staff, has a position on the staff of the Charleston World. Mr. Henry Clay Lukens, who has been on the editorial staff of the h('harleston Daily World, ha. resigned lhi: position. The c.lored people propose to have an inter-State encampment in Spartan burg on July 21, 27 and 2:. They will have speeches and entertainments from amtong their own people. The editor of the Anderson Intelli gener is sighing and longing for the time when it shall be fashionable for men to wear "MJother Hubbards." He says he would don one immediately. Next week is Greenville's big week. A lot of people from the lower section will Visit the mountain city, and We have no (loubt will find it both pleas nut aid profitable to do so. Col. John W. R.

The Clemson bequest is largely dis .ussed by those who know what it is, as well as those who do not know what it is. The Herald and News pub lished some time ago an abstract of ;Ir. Clenison's will.

But there is Capt. Ben Tlillnan who is to accompany them on K their rounds,and he will make it lively. The Keowee Courier proposes that the people of Oconee County vote for Governor and Lieutenant Governor at the same time tfiey hold their priiary for county officers, and the gentlemen receiving the highest number of votes receive the endorsement of that county in the State nominating con vention. This is a novel plan, but may work well. There is nothing like trying it, but as the Greenville News sugrgests it wouldI not be a good idea to tie the hands of the delegates to the men re eeiving a majority at the primary, for they might stand no chance of nomii nting thenm, and the delegates would unot be a.llowed to participate in the se lee'tion by the convention. QU'IZZING THE CANDIDATES. The Greenville County Convention at its meeting on MIonday passed reso * lut ions setting forth a regular catechism * for the candidates. The following is - the resolution: Res~olced, That all candidates for the Senate and House be called upon du ring the canvass to give their views on t he following, whether for or against: "Are vou in favor of the establish ment of a separate Agricultural College under the Clemson devise'."' "Are you in favor of approp)riating the tax on fertilizers and the Hatch fund to support the Agricultural Col lege'?" "A re vou in favor of retrenchment a:nd refoi-m wherever possible'' "A re you inl favor of the action of the Agrieui'tuiiral D epartment in appropri * ittinig $lpM) to the Iimmigrationi Soci * etv':" "'Are you ini favor of taxinig the hank STATE EXPENsES.

DOUBTFUL STATES. tndr this head the Atlanta Consti tution Of a reenlit (late has an article that gives some information as to sta tisties that In:y be of interest. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana are classed as doubtful States in national elections. The Democrats carried all four of these States four years ago, and elected Cleveland and Hen (rick.. The Republicans count as eer tain the S electoral votes secured by Blaine four years ago, and if so need only uiineteen more to make sure the election of their ticket this year. In diana has fifteen, New Jersey six and Connecticut nine. Any two of these, with the IS" votes they count as certain, would assure the success of the party, or with the vote of New York, ] without these three, they could elect. But we do not believe they can claim as too sure the 182 votes given Blaine four years ago. They count on doing this, and the selection of their ticket indicates that it is their intention also to carry New York and Indiana. They have taken an Indiana man and a New York man. We believe Cleveland will carry New York by a larger majority than he did four years ago, and with the solid South-153 votes-will give the Demo cratic ticket 1S9 electoral votes, and then we will only need twelve more votes to give a majority of the electoral 'college. To the doubtful States this year might be added California and possibly one or two others. In speaking of the four States named here as doubtful, the Constitution well says: "These have now more reason than ever to re-affirm their faith in the )em ocratic party, for it has given them the honest administration for which they voted, and has relieved the govern ment from the bondage of Republican corruption, which relief was brought about by the unanimous electoral votes of the so-called doubtful States." We believe that all four o)f these so called doubtful states will vote as they did four years ago,and that neither one of the Republican nominees will carry his own State. The Republican party made its first campaign in 18.36, and the following table shows how these States have voted in every national campaign since that time: Presidential New Neu- Connec- In year.

Without beilg a dema ;ogue, he is the hold, earniest and per istent chanpion of the rights and J nterests of the people. His four years >f useful service in the House of Repre ientatives should convince the people that he may be safely trusted with 1 public interests. His record there is marked by his manly fights for econo my and reform. ie was the staunch riend and advocate of the agricultural L'ollege. He opposed the Willianis and Wesley so-called clairns amiountimig, principal and interest; to over two millions of dollars. His watch over the t state treasury deserves the conllenda- I ion of all lovers of economy in the administration of public funds. He was largely instrumental in reducing I he interest on the State debt to four per cent. His able fight on the Phos phate bill last winter resulted in sav ing to the farmers of the State an in :rease in the price of their phosphates. Having served the whole State faith fully he deserves some public mark of f the people's appreciation. I LANCASTER FARIMERs. [.Jolnston Monitor.] The Newberry Herald and News omiinates Hon.

WAsINToN,July 10.-The report of Mr. Randall's serious illness, when re ceivedl in the house this mnornling, was a shock to every one, as he was present yesterday.
