S. The conns bare decided that refus Mf to take the newfpapers or periodicals fro* the Postoffice, or remorior or learing Ihem nncalled for is priraa facie eridenee of intentional fraud THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION The election on Toewlay, tht* 6th InstH reaolted in the tlefeitof the Democratic National ticket, aid the cherished hopes of Dnnocra ic rale for foar 3ears more were thus sorely crashed. The defeat is a bit ter disappointment to the South. In the amte helium times, wh> u every 80a'hern State could proud ly boast of a brilliant galaxy of statesmen, the control of national allairs rested largely upon this sec tion, and it w as gratifying then to know that the guardians or our in terests were e^er watchful of our welfare. The election of Cleveland fonr ye irs ago s< emed to betoken a ret ora of these elysiand ys, but the recent defeat dashed to pieces our brightest anticipations. To the over proud 8onth *rner 1 he disap pointment is akin to heart-rending. Bat our triumph is yet to come. Another importait factor tons, nay to the whole conntrv, has had its set back, namely, tariff reform. The Democrats, beaded by their fearless leader, boldly took a stand for tariff reform and a consequent redact! n of the enormous surplus. The party made this the issue, and the people have decided adversely for the Morin. Ithas|been truly said that the recent campaign was one of education, and although the peo pic have not yet been edacat«t) up to the point of refoirn the t me will come, for come it must, w hen the countr) will cry aloud for the Abolitionot promotion. The peo< pic already have a clearer under- utaodingofthequestion, and have so indicated it by their vutes in sever cl manufacturing Slates. With the light conception of this matter will corns car emaodpetion. Ac fegnrdc the policy which Mr. Bar-icon mey adopt towards the Booth, we do not apprehend any •criocc trouble or incnnvcnience. Beyond the loss of Southeru influ ence sod the placing of ignorant men in the public offices at home, we do not cee what injury Mr. Mar- risen may do ns. It is not m his power, if ho should feel so inclined, to do cay-bing to oar detriment* ThereUno reason, therefore why the party should lose heart and U is a crumb of comfort to know that “bard fells cannot kill Democracy for It la founded on rock.” THE LAND WE LOVE This week marks an important epoch in the stead march of im provement in the sister States, Sonth Carolina and Georgia. In Columbia at one of the most successful tairs ever held in our State, a maguifioeut display of the lodostries, manufacturer and re sources of Sooth Caroli a is now on exhibition, showing the skill, gen ins And energy of our people in every department ol labor. This most creditable diaplay of the true worth of oar beloved State is a source of pride to every loyal sou •f Carolina. Aeroes the Savannah River, in the beautiful city of Augusta, an exposition is now iu progress «Inch is truly indicative of the pluck ) push and enterprise of the ‘*Km. pire State of the South.'’ Here may be seen every evidence of the pro grows wbieh ia uow pervadi .g the whole Sooth. Here we' see but a radiant beam of the rising suq which will soon shins brightly over the land we love. We cannot refrain from express ing our gratification at tiiese prom ising sign< of the great day before ns. The wteady advance of both South Caroliua and Georgia, Stairs ■o nearly alii'd and bound by a common causj and a common in tercet, Is a just reason tor oougratu- letion. Dr-Dargau’s Opeuiuir Sermon. “The Newt and Courier of the 13th inat. •ays:” •flf Ibe very large and dist iugu.ab ed congregation that assembled in the Citadel Square Baptist Girarch yesterday morning to bear the ini tial sermon of the Rev. E. 0. Dar- gaa, toe reoently^leeted pastor of that church, may be taken as a full ewasare of warm welcome and greeting, mid if the strict at'eution that was paid to the t loqnent words that fe 1 tioiu tin- mimstei’s lips may te taken as nu evidence ot the rx strnce ot a Chriotian feeling and love boHM-en the pastor and the peop c, :hen ihoro is every rea son >o believe *nd pred'et that the woik that Dr. Dargaii shall accom plish iii Charleston will redound to good tor 1 he cause of C:.mti<»nitj. it seemed as it eveiy thing had coil spiled yesterday to in ike the we - coine to Dr. Margin a joyous and warm as possible. The glorious autumnal weather, * ith the bright sunshine end crisp air, coupled niih the'smiling, gladsome laces ot the people and the spirit of the occasion, all tended ’o inspire th** pieaclnT ttirti confidence amt eour> age in his wm k. •‘Dr. Dargait is a forcib e preach er, and h s Heiinon vest, nluy was proiound and suggestive. He look ior his text the 21 st vetse ot the 1st. chapter of the lie Corinthians: “For after that, in the wisdom ot God, tbevorld by wts loin knew net God, it pleased t»'-d, by the foolishness ot pn aching, to save them that believe. r There are two thoughts, said the preacher, that are appropriate to be discussed in tin-beginning ol our work as p.is t< r and people. To these I desire to ditect your attention. Fust, the wisdom of the woi d i« foolishness to God, and MCondly God is pleas ed by what tin* worl I thinks is fol ly. Then Dr. Morgan elaborated these two propositions and dealt with them iu a masterly manner. He said that just as a man could lilt himself tiom the ground by means of tackle and pulleys, just in the same manner he could lilt him self spiritually by lire help 0! God and a desire to lulfilUhe commai.ds of God. i’o know God is eternal life. We mu»t apprehend the truih ot this Assertion and can ouiy do so by moral attniumeuts aud mental achievements. Take these two requisites of a man’s xisteuce apart and it will mar the man’s op portunities for usetullm ss and good achieve-m-nls The assertion by some that it a man has a pure heart he needs no mind, or if he has a strong miud be needs no he.nt, is fallacious and falls to the ground, for, indeed, both faculties are the principal requisites of a man’s lite aud power. Both must work to gelhcr if good would be accomplish ed. To know God is to know the truth, aud this ki owledge is not audeanuot be obtained <>y worldly wisdom. Then, in a forceful and eloquent manner, Dr. D.ngantrac ed the attempt ot all ages to ob'ain this knowledge ot God through worldly wisdom, and showed con clusively whvietu every attempt had been friiE*trat»d. In a like manner Dr. Dargau spoke ol the advancement itt philosophy, science and literature of the present day iu comparison with the centuries long past, aud in a powerful man ner hn deduced the conclusion that God is still unknown through worldly wisdom, as lie has always been. God does not want 1101 > fin 1 Him out. He speaks to us Iro n His throne of grace, aud reaches down His loving bauds to help' us up aud.urge us to better deede. To know God is to be saved aud to be savedjsi.ot< u ; y tob b ought torn excellence hm after, but to be bt tt« r here ou earth We are to Ire saved here on eartu from sin aud reach au excellence hereatter. The high est instrument that God employs lor the advancement aud aiueiiora tion ot the human race is ihe wind of Truth, through which He streaks to us. Through the disseunna ion of the truths spokeu iu the Word of Gird wu are made to know linn and will be thereby Saved. Dr. Dargau closed by an earnest .>p {real to tie congregation to work for God, aud to be uiniring laborers in the vineyard. “Dr. Dargau is an impressive pul pit ora< or. His delivery is rapid and impetuous, and Imenuucta ion is almost perteer, wiiil In* gestures are well timed and frequent. Ho has a scholarly appearance and would be picked out of a crowd as being a distinguished man.” Mr Tlionia>’ Statement of the Diffcul ty between himself and Gen Earle. To the Editor of The News and Courier : I have seen the npleas ant d fficulty fret w een mys.-lf and Attorney General Earle roisrepre set.ted. 1 have no pugilistic am bitiou whatever lam altogether a lover ot peace, but when a citiZ'm has been iu suited without prove-a tiou and tiMs the coti*ci<»usu« s* <d right, he dou’t like to m o a boutirc inaile of him for ti e glorification ot another. As your report was more impartial than some olheis 1 beg you will pub.ish my statement. Dining the Uichaidson-Tillmau cotivass at Sumter. Attorney Geu eial Earle tried iu his speech to make Gapt. Tillmuu endorse the Bighnm matter Capt Tillman was my guest und 1 was ou the speakers’ stand with him. 1 inter rupted Attorney General Earb, saying: “G'-u Earle, we wttkuowL edge your ability as a lawyer, but Mr. Tillman is not on the witness stand.” GcU Earle said: ‘*Oli, Mr. Thomas, I am here to fish lor trout, not minnows. We respect Oapt. TiUuiau but he has got th- poorest lieuteuau 1 I ever saw.” 1 how id aud left the si and with Capt. Tillman. 1 was elected a delegate to the State Convention. The caucus of laruiers nomiuated Gen. Earle for Governor, and iu the Convention 1 voted for Earle. The Sumter Advance criticised me as president of the Farmers’ Association for the inconsistency of voting for a law yer after the farmers laid all their ills to the lawyers. I replied in the Advance: “There were but two candidates In the field. The lawyer had ex pressed himself iu favor of the far- m< rs’ mov meut, and fie former was known to In* op|»o-*--d. The lawyer was <nev«*rv souse the |*eer of the t-inue: and b iug for us, we voted to 1 him, and if he had not ‘•flunkid" at the eleveir.h hour, but had Mt'ood up to ns like a man, we would have elected him. Person ally, i voted for him with giear pleasure. You kuow at. the cam paign meeting in Sum'er he called me a minnow, and 1 owed him some liiug. He denied being a candidate s > 1 gave him the vote, which Wrut as far as a minnow could to show the State that he is a big fish, a slqqiery fi-ib, a verba Id- e*l.” Last Thursda>, I went to Sum ter. 1 saw Geu Earle talking with three of his friend* iu front of the Court House, ;tud the sheriff’s office, I was passin aud bowed to him. Geu. Earle said; ‘‘Stuce you have spoken to me, 1 would like to inquire what yon ineaut by my having “flunk d.” 1 answered : “When you dei>eud upon a man and he tails you, we say h.* •flunked.”’ He asked what I meant by a slippery fish * Is id: ‘Ali ti-h are slip|H-ry, bu* especially eels.” He raid . “If you say I slipped out of any thing, it is talse.” I ssid : “If you siy you didn’t sitj) us, it is false.” He said: “1 better call it the plain old Euglish word, a 1 i e,” (spelling it.) i s ud : '*Do you mean to call me a liar!” He said : “1 do.” 1 thi-u said : “Gen. Earle, if you say that you did not allow Dr. Furman to nomiuate you lor Gov ernor, and did not say that y ou -foul 1 serve li the p< ople wanted you, then y ou are a d liar.” Gen. Earle then struck me. A good many blows passed without a scratch on either side. Geu Earle was assisted by “Moss” Chandler, who si ruck at me ouce from the rear, but missed his atm and fell at my |eet. The police then came and arrested troth parties; each paid 810 tor appearance at the Mayor’s C >uri. Gen. Earle went into the treasuiei’s office; 1 rcuiaiu- ed on the stie-t. Piesenlly, after five or ten minutes, some one called out to look out. I turued, aud saw Geu. Earle rushing at me from behind a pillar of the Uourl House with n piece of oak scantling about 4 feet long aud 2 inches square. He had it grarqied iu both holds aud was coming down with ail h s might, but 1 threw up my band and caught the blow, snghtiy hrok en by the baton of a po ioeni tu. Tne people rus ed betwe-u u*, aud l called out: “Is tbst your brave man f Is th «t the attorney gener al of the S'.atc, sneaking up behind a post and >ry iug to brain an uu* armed man with a billet of wood f” Many people joined iu the cry : “Shame on you l f The police ar rested him again, aud he paid $25 foi his appearance at Court. 1 re mained on the street fully fifteen minutes alter his second attack. At the Court, Gen. Earle plead guilty to the charges, acknowledg ing that be was the aggressor, and slated that 1 had uot committed an oflVuce, as I acted iu self deluuce, I corroborated Geu Fade’s state ment iu relation lo myself, and ask ed that the ma ter be dropped. U-n. Ernie was fluid $25, and 1 wan discharged. 1 *a« that Geu. Earle wanted to suppies* the testimony, aud as 1 heard several gentlemen say they would uot vote for him ou aocouut ot his cowaidiy attack, 1 aided him iu suppressing it. The election is uow over, and I beg to comment ou the conduct ot Attorney- Genetal Earle, lor South Carolina ha* uot yet reached the pass wheu a public officer is above criticism, <>r when her citizens must submit to being iusulted by them. Some time ago. Dr. Furmau pub- lishtui a statement iu the Sumter Advance, that he submitf d the papers to Aitorney General Earle uoai tiatiug him for Governor be lore sending them to The News and Courier, aud that Attorney Gener al E rie made uo objection Be sides, his uomiiiatioii stood for w«-eks in iwo Sumter pa|*eis aud iu The News and Courier up to the time ot lUe Convention, without a deodn vtiou. He aLo < hi s*-V( ral part e* no could not iteclme to serve, if the people eaiin-d him. In his speech hi Ibe Convention, it 1 remember rghtly, he sai l he »as not a uaudi late aud uevi r uu'horiz ed any em*. to iiom mite him. 1 don’t think l’i: be held responsible 111 th- day oigtudgmeut for the lie (!) of calling him “a slippery fish, a vi-ri aoit- eel.” I am sore S’ nth Caio'iua will be proud to pl. ee Upon Jos. H. Earle tht-mantle oi attorney general of the S' ate. U«v who knows now to insult her cit z -ns, but knows uo. the manhood 01 making apology tbeiefor; but instead, engage in a street tight close to the sheriff’s office wheu the insult l* hailed bark to him. “It is the gal etl Jade wuo winces.” Sou'h Carolina wotllo have been proud to have -e- n her gailaut attorney g ueial, th.- lii^h- * st law oJiceriu ihe Slate sw.,ru to uphold her law*, dashing out from behind the pi lar of the v«ry temple of Just ce itselt, like a common a* •assi.) and try mg to brain un uu- armed and uusaspectiug citizen w ith a ii.llet of wood. His conduct will add very much lorce to bis piosecutiug power when he appears boiore twelve of his countrymeu to ask for the coovictiou ofau humble crimiual. I charge that Attorney General Earle’s conduct is unbecoming a gentlemen and a high State official. If auy part of (his statement is de nied, I challenge him to an investi- gatiou. H.

How Fatigue Operate*. After a study of some years, Professor Moseo, of Turin, fluds that when fatigue is carried beyond the moderate stage, at which it is decidedly beneficial, It sub jects the blood to a decomposing process throngh the infiltration into it of sub stances which act as poisons, and which, when injected Into the circulation of healthy animals, Induce uneasiness and all the signs of excessive exhaustion. When within the resisting power of the subject, fatigue has its pleasures and even Joys, these l>eing tho expression of the organic consciousness that bodily loss of tissue is losing balanced by reconstruc tion. Mosso’s experiments were per former! on Italian soldiers, and they proved, among the other results, that tho stature sml pewer of the modern warrior are fully equal to those of the ancient Ro man.—Arkansaw Traveler. Ill* Desperate Resolve. One day Matthew Byles, the old parson, with a very long face came into the room where id* family was sitting and said: “I am tired of life and I must put an end to mym-lf." Saying thia, he Immediately left the room and went Into his study und j locked the door behind him. Of course tho family were struck dumb with aston ishment and terror. What were they to do? Father certainly was going to com mit suicide. After a little thought they decided to break the door open. By the combined efforts of the whole family tho lock was tom asunder, and what do yon suppose met their astonished gaxe? There, careering up and down the room, was the old doctor with n cow s tail fastened to the i tail of his ministerial frock.

A Duel Between Twe Plant*. Some rttne ago my pupils were much Interested in finding what they not Inap prcprlatr’y termed a hand to band oon- fit-t between a sumach (Rhnstypldna) and a climbing bttter swuet tOUstms tcan- deut) Judging from appearances when found, the sumach was about two inches ia diameter when tho bitter sweet first wound its coils about it. As the growth of each proceeded, these toils became tighter and tighter, cutting Into and through Uie hark and growing layer of the sumaeh until it teemed to be threat ened with strangulation. It was not, however, to be so easily vanquished. It resolutely kept up its manufacture of new material, which, owing to the tight em brace of the vine, had to be distributed along a spiral Hue immediately above the coils. Just below the coils the supply ap peared to be cut off, as the trunk wsa then shriveled, and in most places dead. Although rendered unsightly, the tree presented the curious features of having two spirals, one of living, growing, the other of dead and decaying material wound about its heart wood, so that the whole resembled a huge auger. To avenge this deformity the sumach proceeded to push its new growth out above and over the coils of the vine until at one place it had completely encora- paased it. The vine, in turn, was now-;.-* tightly squeezed as to be cut off fA 3 ! communication with the ground, anti be low this point but little life remained Victory now seemed within the grasp of the sumach. The vine, however, in its last extremity, uow united itself with the growing layer of the sumach, and thus literally drew from the camp of the enemy whatever supplies were needed to keep its top bright and thrifty. At this stage the conflict was cut short by the ax of the collector, and the combatants, locked In each other’s arms, were laid away among the curiosities of a museum. —Journal of Education. 1 Seme disIwfuishiiiQ' fea tures of ! /pplctons’ Readers.

A MILLION A TEAR. Lincoln's Unique Individuality. It was my good fortune to have known Mr Lincoln long and well—so long and so Intimately that, as the shadows lengthen and the years recede I am more and more impressed with the rugged grandeur and nobility of his character, his strength of Intellect and singular purity of heart. Surely I am the last man on earth to say or do aught in derogation of his great worth, or to tarnish hi* fair fame in any way whatever. The world has long since conceded that he was great in all the elements that go to make up human greatness. He had a stamp of originality that was entirely his own. With his unique individuality, his intellect, at once strong, sagacious and profoundly acute and critical, were asso ciated a mental integrity and moral pur pose as firm as granite, a thorough knowl edge of himselt, and a modesty that scorned both self laudation and eulogy by others for fame or achievements not his own. An act accomplished by him either in his character of citizen or public ser vant he regarded more as a duty dis charged than ns au achievement of which to be proud He was charitable to a fault, and yet no man ever discriminated more narrowly In his judgment concern ing the acts und motives of other men, or had a keener appreciation of merit or de merit in others.—Ward H.
