We publish under this head an arti cle from the New York Herald. The position of the Herald is very good, and we can see .no reason now why there should not be a fraternal spirit between the old soldiers who fought on oppo es in the late war. We are glad site I dly feeling exhibited by the to see a ka. ' wards the Confederate. Union soldiers... ctation that Con But we have no exr; to estab gress will appropriate I>u _ th for lish soldiers' homes in the Sot.. Confederates. It is a little strange to us that even a big paper like the Herald cannot sug gest a kind word about the Confed erate soldier without putting some thing in it all to mar the kindness and fraternity of the article. Why should the Herald talk about "design ing and mistaken leaders" in an article that was meant to establish and cement kindly feeling between the members of the armies that once opposed each other in battle. No use to argue about the causes or motives that brought about. the war. The Confederate fought for what he thought was right, and we suppose the Union soldier did the same. The war is over and both sides have put aside their arms. Now in an effort to establish that friendly spirit it is no use to question the motives of the lead ers in the Confederacy, for such discus sion will have the tendency to put the two further apart. We spent a night and part of two days of last week in Spartanburg. The business part of the city does not seem much larger than Newberry. There are several very handsome residences, and the church buildings, especial ly the Presbyterian and Methodist are very handsome. There is a good deal of the "get up" about Spartanburg. It has a number of wealthy citizens and they-do not hold to their money but keep it going, and thus put new life in the city. It makes it easy to build fac tories and other manufactories when the men who are able will let out their money and keep it moving. A. new cotton mill has recently been organized, and the afternoon we were there a meeting was held looking to forming a company to build a female college, and in a short time $15,000 of the necessary stock -was raised. The town has recently put in gas for light ing the streets and houses. * It takes money to build up a town, and in order to have this .the money men of the community must not be afraid to invest their money in enter prises that will help the town. If the direct returns from the money put mn these small manufactures and other en terprisesis niot so great immediately, lhie good they will do a community far more than repays the individuals for the investments. A high grade female seminary would be a good thing for Newberry. A good cotton seed oil mill could be established and would pay good dividends on the investment. There are many small in dustries that could be mentioned and that would pay, add to our population, and to the trade of the town. Spartanburg County has 4nough cot ton mills to consume all the cotton raised in the county. But talk does not build any mills, or establish any female college, or put in operation any new enterprise.. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle has< sent us the following card with the re quest that the public shall be made ac quainted with the good opportunityi here offered for generous rivalry in < literary effort and the fliriher opportu nity of obtaining a nice prize as the result of such labor: "The Chronicle takes pleasure ini offering five prizes in order to encour- , age the literary talent of our people, 4 and to develop the best practical sug-I gestions for the Agricultural and Manu- I fucturing interests: 1. $50.

These prizes will be open until the 1st of May to che people of Georgia and South Carolina, and to all subscribers to the Chronicle everywhere. ( The manuscripts will be submitted to a competent committ e, which will dec'de betwee2 the competitors for the prizes. The contributions should be signed by a ficticious name and accompanied b'y the real name of the author. All communications should be ad-t dressed: 'The Chronicle, Augusta, Ga.,' ~ Patrick Walsh, President. t Mr. D. H.Witherspoon, who has been, living at Manning for some time past and publishing the Clarendon Enter prise, is soon to start a new paper at c Bamberg to be called the Breeze. Mr. 1 Witherspoon has been publishing what he called a black list containing the names and amounts due of delinquentt subscribers. We mentioned this fact ( two weeks ago and asked the editor to ~ tell us how the experiment succeeded. Are we to judge from this new venture at Bamberg that the plan has workedr so well that he is going to rim both offices? Or is the black list so numer ous that it is no longer safe for the editor to remain in Manning. We saw last week where an explanation was necessary for one name in the list. We n'ever tnonght the black list a good thing. An Omaha man recently sent a cable-- e gramn to Bonn, Prussia, went home to dinner, and on his return to his office, , an answer had been received from the other side of the Atlantic, in just ant hour and a half, the message having traveled 10,000 miles. This is the quick estwnrknf the kind onreord. When the members of the Supreme Court called upon the President a few days ago, it is said Mr. Harrison ex pressed the hope that he would not be called upon to fill any vacancies dur ing his term of office, in which senti ment their honors also joined. In less time than a week one of their number has passed over the river and the vacancy remains to be filled by Mr. Harrison. Mr. Matthews was not one f the oldest members either. The ease we have upon life is very uncer ain. The hour nor the day when it hall be terminated we know not of. The teachers of North Caroliua have xtended an invitation to President Earrison to come South and attend z meeting of their convention to be held n June next at Morehead city. We hope President Harrison will accept ;he invitation and come in this section md see us for himself. It would possi )ly give him a different conception of >f men and things in this section from hat that he has now. We are told he not bc.en South since the war. Ia h have taken place in Qany chang hat time. Last week a currespondent used tlt. xpression to the "manor born," and we took the liberty to change the spell ng of the word and make it read to the 'manner born." Several persons have said the change was incorrect. The ex pression originated in Shakespeare, nd we direct attention to an opinion rrom Mr. Geo. B. Cromer, a competent -ritic in such matters, and also the guotation he makes in which the ex pression occurs. This same question was made in Newberry some two years go. The Greenville News has been en arged, and is now a 32 column paper. We are glad to see this improvement in the News, and glad to know that the afforts tomainta;n a daily paper in the ap country are being appreciated in such a way as to necessitate this en largement. The News is bright and ably edited sheet and we always await its arrival with interest, and can always find omething interesting in its columns. Solicitor Schumpert has finished his 5rst round on the Circuit and has proven himself equal to the occasion in every place yet, and a worthy successor )f Maj. Duncan. In fact he is becom ing a terror to evil doers. We are ratified to hear good reports from all the counties in the Circuit of his work. Ihe wisdom of his selection is apparent to all. The State Sunday-school Convention is in session in Charleston this week. Newberry is not largely represented. We have heard of only three delegates being appo&nted and only two of these attended. We publish this week the address of C. E. Miller to President Harrison. He is contesting the seat of Col. Elliott. He pwports to show up the indepen dlents in his article in their true light. The Legislature of Kansas has rhanged the name of Davis County in that State because the name of the Ex-President of the Southern Coufed eracy is Davis. XPresident Harrison and nearly all the members of his cabinet are mem bers of tfie Presbyterian church. Grover Cleveland, Esq., was born on bhe 18th March, 1837. STANLEY MATTHEWS DEAD. L 'Vacancy on the Bench of the Uni ted 'States Supreme Court. WASHINGTON, March 22.-Associate Fustice Stanley Matthews died at 10.05 ;his morning. The last change in his sondition occurred yesterday afternoon it 3 o'clock. In the morning he had 1 yeen feeling quite comfortable and' sheerful. At that hour however, the I ntense pain which marked the periods >f decline recurred, and never left him 1 mntil death brought relief. Dr. Wm WV. [ohnston was summoned, and finding uis patient suffering so intensely, ad ninistered opiates which toward morn ng induced a state of semi-conscious 1ess, in which he remained until the, >nd. Occasionally he would partially 2 -evive, and then he recognized the oved ones near him by a glance or >ressure of the hand, but a relapse soon 'ollowed. For a number of hours pre rious to his death he was practically , mnconscious. JUSTICE MATTHEwS' FUNERAL.

[Macon Telegraph.] WAsH1NGToN, March 22.-One of he first things President Cleveland did .fter he came in was to sign and issue r he comimissions of thirteen post- ~ nasters nominated by his predecessor .nd confirmed by the Senate. Senator Colquit will utilize this fact n criticising the nomination made by he President yesterday to fill the post Tice at Milledgevilie, Ga., when it omnes up in executive session. The= acumbent of this office was renomnina-K ed by President Cleveland and con-I irmed by the Senate February 2S last, >ut President Cleveland did not hasten I o sign his commission and went out of I ifice without doing so. Taking advan-i age of this, President Harrison has ominated Carlos G. Wilson as his a uccessor. Ic This seems rather sharp practice and . nay complicate other Georgia appoint uenits.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 22, 1SSI. Po the President of the United States, Washington, D. C. SIR: The ascendency of a Republican dniinistration has brought forward nen whom the Republican party in south Carolina had almost forgotten. 'hey are now met everywhere, and are Lmong HE MOST PERSISTENT OF OFFICE SEEK EBS Lnd at all times do assert that their ecognition means a division of- the vhite vote of the South. These so -alkd Independents ha:e le's claim in south Carolina for good a compl:ishe( ban in any other Southern State, and ire, withal, the most clamorous for )lace. The history of the Republican >arty since 1876 is not a pleasant one; t is wonderful that it possesses an or pinizaiiOin to-day, for, instead of com non-sense rules being applied to trengthen it, A SERIES OF EXPERIMENiS lave been made with the purpose and xcellent intention of' dividing the Democratic vote, but which have esulted only in further discouraging tepublicans.

At that eleci ion the Tn lependents neither exhibited strength, ourage, nor power to secure an honest ount, and the opposition to Demaocra y was not increased in a single county. ['he vote in Pickens, Anderson, Green rille and other white counties, the elleged homes of the Independents, Lmd where gains were promised to be nade, WAS S MALLER THAN EVER or the Republican and Independent icket, and, had it not been for the oyal support of the Republican vote in he lower tier of counties in the State, he whole movement would have been idiculous. As it was, the burden and xpense of the campaign was borne by he Republicans of the State. With he loss of the Federal administration y the Republican party went all .races of the South Carolina Indepen lent, and the brain of the combine HIED TO MORE CONGENIAL CLIMES )eyond the State, where he acquired a egal residence, leaving the Republi ans nothing to remember him by xcept the recollection of their folly in upporting him. Without encourage -nent or a word of advice from them, :he last four years passed away. The state Conventi -n for the nomination )f delegates to the National Con yen ion was not sufficient to attract them 'rom their retirement, although for nerly they were the most attractive in .1. lobby; and not until thle signs of public N>piaion indicated Republican aiccess did the Independent emerge, mnd then only to solicit subscriptions ~or the establishment of a Republican Jewspaper and to aid the Republicans >f South Carolina in their canvass.

This evening Cap :un General Salamanca gave a dinner a honor of the Ex-President. All the iemnbers of his party attended. The ther gernsts were higrh oicr of ba TLHE RACE ISSUE. Let the North Put Itself in the Position of the South and Solve the Problem. [Atlanta Constitution.] The public sentiment that will decide the next presidential election, is being rapidly formed in the North. An at tempt is being made to hold the demo cratic party responsible for the solid South, and to solhd.y the North by the argument that the South is solid be cause of resentment, estrangement, or the hope of political domilnion. Let us put on record here two pro positions that cover the whole matter: 1. The South longs for a breaking up of sectiona! alignnment, with an earnest ness the North can never feel. We are the miiority section in every esense. To force a nolitical civision on stetioual lines is political suicide. We need capi tal, immigrants, development, and to hinder the incoming of these, as any sectional division niust, is to hinder our own growth and prosperity. We realize this perfectly. Hence we are more deep ly interested in the wiping ou: of sec tional lines, of every sort whatever, than cur Northern friends possibly can be. 2. Tie South is forbidden to divide, and thus find her full emancipation, and the full restoration of the union in which she more than than any section is interested, by a problem, the roots of which go deeper than politics or busi ness can reach. The presence of this problem--the appalling import of w% is understood even Where it i tessed-should win for hP and loving sympatnv should strenghte political party give her thmis in fr cia shouldY lem i C even the ordt_ - of events iu whic On these two propot . They do not need argun. ~ are self-evident. But there is a question we ho like to address to the editors of the North, and to have an answer written uuder each man's sense of his respon sibility as an editor, that we may re cord it in these columns. Here it is prefaced by a statement: There is not a State in the South in which a serious division of the whites would not give the negroes the balance of power. Not a State in which an unscrupulous minority of the whites could not by easy corruption of the illiterate, or by the easy misleading of the ignorant negroes, capture the State government. \N hatever hapiens, the negro franchise will run in racial cur rents. Let the best happen, and the negro could not within this gereration acquire enough education, or even information, to establish polit:cal con victions that would carry him through orderly or steadfast ways into either or both political parties. His -vote would be in any event lumped, and congested, and the prey of the corrupt or crafty. In Mississippi, for example, there are 13,000 illiterate white voters and 143 000 illiterate black voters. Now, here is the question-asked in fraternal spirit, and entitled to a frank and friendly ans..er. Is there a State in the North in which if, as in Mississippi,1a1,( 00 negro voters, of which 143,000 are unable to read or write, were to day settled, the white people would be or could be divided under any pretense or by any power? Is there a Northern State in which althougii,as in Mississippi, there were only 121,0010 white voters to oppose them, this host of black illiterate voters could capture and maintain the control of affairs under any pretext or by any power? Could this be done in Indiana, or in Ohio, and especially could it be done if, as in Mississippi, the hideous and sickening pages of the carpet bag era, by showing what these people did do when:the;whites were united against thenm, gave appalling suggestions of what they would do when the whites were divided? Iowa has about the votir.g population of Georgia, say 320, 000. if 1:30,000 of these voters were negroes, of whom 100,009 were illiterate (tosay no worse), is there any sane man who believes or any fair man who will assert, that the white neople of Iowa would not so unite as to hold control of their affairs, and( remain so united, in all despite? Would any political amibi tion, or could any external force, so divide the whites as to make it possible for a considerable minority of their number, by deluding the ignorant and bribing the corrupt of the negroes, hold the reins of government? Would they not rather, in Iowa or Vermont, do as we do-hold the intelligence and pro perty toge.thcr, administer affairs with just and equal hand, lead the ignorant to enlightenment, wvin the doubting to confidence, the disatfected into friend ship-and, p)utting aside the minor considerations of politics, work out patiently, earnestly, in conscience and hono:', under the guidance of God as He nmaketh it manifest, this ent bralling and surpassing problem? IT'S ALL A FATE. The Alneged N(ewly Discovered Gold F2ids of Lower California.-A Chicago Man Telie How the Fever Originaated. CmeCA;o, March 23.-A local paper says that Louis Levin of Chiiciago, who has lived in San Diego, Cal., during the last year, returned yesterday, after a brief and deciedly unsatisfactory trip to the Lower California mines. "It's all a fake," said he to a repor:er, "but it has been so worked that one is duped before he knowvs it. The excitemenlt ini San DJiego has nearly (lied away, but for two wv.eks the craze seenme(t to have struck everybody. Severi:i hund red of San Diego's best business men even tepplorarily abandoned their business to run to the newly dliscovered gold fields. 1 was in San Diego the same week that news of the first discovery was brought to town. Three or four Mexican and Indian miners had been (isp)lay ing some remarkable nuggets, which they claimed to have found in Lower California. They would uinder no circumistancsdivulge the location of the lace, hut b y sharp diplomaitio handling and under pronmise of the strictestsecrecy, they gave the local mon as in the Santa Clara ranges. This was enough. Of cour:,e such news wvas too good to keep. One iman wvhisperedl the secret to anot her, and inside of A4 ho,urs the wvhole town was in a fermnent of excitement. I and three others left San Diego on the morning of March 8d, with a team e.n I well supplied with provisions. We traveled for tive (lays over the roughest, meanest country. I ever saw. Th'e distance fronm Sanl Dleigo to Ensendia is about 140) miles. When ever it was not 'xmountainmous the counz try was a desert, with nothing but cacati, spanish bayonets aid. like vege tation. Tuere wase- not even grass eno(ugh for a pony. When we reached the mines the camps were in a fearfully excitedl state. How bloodshed was prevented was more t han I cana imagine. It w is abno'st impossible to sceu' provisions; everythiing wvas abm.orma! high. Flour was selling at Si p,er pound, and everything else in p,roporuon. There was gold, but not enough to pay, and quartz mines could not be develop ed for want of machinery. We stayed in camp ten days, and then gave up the whole thiug as a bad job."
