Will the South now have representa tion.* Even John Kellc3r, who hates Conk ling with a holy hatred, admits that the treachery of some of his pretend ed friends was such as men instinct ively despise,, J. L. W. Matthews, the editor of the Fourcha Valley Times of Arkan sas, was shot last week by a "select" band of outlaws who had a grudge against him. October 19th is Bpokcn of as the dayT for Thanksgiving for the recov ery of Gar?eld. We had better wait to see if it is the intention of Provi dence that he should recover. The enforcement of the Rcveue laws seems to lie fruitful of. violence and blood shed. ? There is . something wrong. Let a change be made. Mr Gladstone, the 'Erigdish Pre mier, has sent his'coudoleiiee'to the White House in a very feeling and . complimentary letter. An address has been issued by the citizens of Columbia calling for a State Prohibition Convention on the 27th of September. The South' Carolina Railroad will be sold to .the highest bidder today at 12jo^eiock'before * the Charleston Post Office.'. , / ... Mr? Miller, Senior; being asked :f he did. not feel it a great honor to have a son elected Uuitcd States Sen ator,.-answered; **I can tell better at the end of the term." Dr. Bliss isjrcported as-having said that if ho had a probe on the bullet he would not draw it it out. Upon which some experts do not hesitate to say that Dr. Bliss is a fool. Mr Corikling, like "Brer Fox," will "lie low." No telling what may hap pen. There arc startliug changes in this wicked world. The Democrats have not the slight est objection to Grant and Conkling being read out of the Republican par ty. Should liko to have seen them thus eliminated when Hancock was running for Presideut. If the President lives, Dr. Bliss will be the greatest man in the land; but if he dies he will be the littlest. Is there any tbiug that succeeds.like success.? "Billy the Kid," the Mexican out law, a beardless youth scarcely 21, who boasts that he has killce a man for each of his years, was at last kill cd himself last week by a Mexican Sheriff. Geu. J. C. Claussen of the colored militia was severely, if not mortally stabbed on Saturday night-in Char leston in a street row. Cause Bccch erisra. Gov. Q. M. Roberts of Texas de clined to unite with Gov. Foster of Ohio in the proposed appointment by the Governors Of a day of prayer for the recovery of President Gar?eld. His grounds were that he is opposed to the principle of the union of church and state. He desired as much as any one else the recovery of the Pres ident, but he objected to all gubcrna torial appointments of religious meet iugs ou the above grounds Great indignation is expressed in Texas about it. There is a rumor that Senator Con kling intends to visit the South next autumn, to make acquaintance with the people and, by his airs and graces and newly conceived opposition to monopolies, capture their political support. . . The opposition of Gov. Roberts of Texas.to .the appointment by State authority of aThanksgiving or a day of Prayer for the churches to ob serve, is not a new idea, nor is it con fine to Gov. Roberts. We know of ministers'of the gospel who oppose it not only on the ground of the necessi ty of keeping church.and State sep arto, hut " also oh the * additional ground* that worldly mWTinve' no ...right to order appointments for the church. -. ? . w .Drs.

Trenibllnfr, in the balance. In our last isi-ue the dispatches from W ashington authorized us in reporting the Presideut ns oa the high road to recovery. This week the as pect is entirely changed for the worse A pus cavity has formed in the path of the ball which has necessitated a surgical operation for obtainiug an other outlet from the wound. Yes ter fractured bone was extracted, and the patient is becoming weaker and more restless. Wo fenr from the tenor of the latebt dispatches that the President is far from heiug out of danger. Slate Agricultural Meeting. The Annual meeting of the State Agricultural Society opened in Gnenville on Tuesday, about two huudred prominent farmers being present from this State and Georgia. The usual opening addresses were de livercd by President B. F. Crayton, Master J. N. Lipseomb, Mr. M. L-. Donaldson and Col. Wm. Wallace of South Carolina, and Rev. Dr. Daniel Butler of Georgia. A paper was read on the cultiva tion of upland cotton, by Mr. E. R. Mclverof Darliugton; one on the cultivation of upland rice, by Dr. J. W. Summers of Orangeburg, and another on the labor question, b3* Mr. C. H. Moise ofSuniter. After ihc discussion of these questions, the Society adjourned-for the day, for the enjoyment of a ride around the city, and a visit to Piedmont Factory.- The meeting promises to be a vcrj intcr ing ouc. The Overthrow ot Coukdns. After a most disgusting and weari some fight at* Albany, Ooukling has been overthrown, and Laphain, a man in many respects his inferior, has beeu elected over him as Senator from New York. About a week ago Miller was also elected in the place of Platt who resigned with Conkling. The fight has been in many respects a use leas and revolting one. On the one side the strutting pride of Conkling, and on the other the worthlessness, and riugism of Laphain and Miller, the successful eaudidates. The New York Times may well say that the great State of New York can find nothing in the new Senators in which to feel proud. But the ttaelessuess of the fight is another point. Before the new senators will take their seats iu Congress the general election will take place. W hy then all of tins disgrace ful exhibition? But in all evils there is some good. The Republican party is weakened, and the Democratic par ty is strengthened. If an election should be held now, New fork would go Democratic with hardly a doubt, and if the change in public sentiment is properly fostered we may coun New York as safely back iu the Dem ocratie fold. The Health of Washington. From common report and occa sional newspaper paragraphs, the health of the city of Washington does not appear to be any of the best. It is said that the malaria from the Potomac atfeets the atmosphere and that fever and kindred diseases from this cause arc not unfrequent. This is the excuse that some of our Con gressmen make lor tippling. They say their physicians advise it for keeping off malaria, and they are very sorry. Now, if the Capital can not be moved to some higher lati tude, where our Congressmen may be taken out of danger of. Antikes, mal a nan ml monkeys, where they can be refreshed by cooler breezes and ex hilarated by natures pure mountain dew, there is still another plan. Let the whiskey of the Capital be "medi cated" and not taken straight. When we consider the army experience, we are astonished, with* all the Confeder ate Brigadiers, for which Washing ton is noted, that the past should he forgotten, and that the physicians should be.so led astray. The repre sentatives of a nation^ ought to be kept healthy, and robust. Labor and t apttnl. It may be a matter of interest for tig to-note.that wages are. higher, in other States, than in'Soilfli Carolina. The range as taken from carefully compiled' statistics is ???from about $25 per month, for laborers in the New. England States to $41 in Cali fornia. In our State, we believe, the average is $8. What then is theinfereucc to be drawn from these facts The low of ru ply and deiBRndltk basinets is at ctft in is the law of water seeking its level tu nature. It may be said that one cause of higher wages in the North ern and Western States, is the high er state of improvement, and conse? quently, the greater productiveness of laud in these States. We grant this. But, what is the cause of the difference of improvement? It is the combination of capital with labor. We have ^adduced these facts to point out what we believe the inter est of the State demands, in the mat ter of immigration. We don't want all laborers, but we ueed a consider able amount of capital. Politically and agriculturally, it is the settler of means who buys a farm for himself, or who starts a factory, a mill or some other useful enterprise, whom we need juSt now as much, if not more than the laborer. It is true that labor is gradually getting higher, but the immigration of actual land owners will tend to relieve the diffi culty as well as the natuial increase of our population. We are not op posed to more labor, for it is the strong arm of the laborer who gives life and euergy to our laud. Wi h out him capital would be fruitless. But it is the combination of capital and labor that we w?iuld urge. Let our Immigration Bureau in attend ing to the one not neglect the other. is now offering GREAT BARGAINS in the balance of his Prices'reduced 25 to 75 per cent. -o All those desiring to save money should not fail to call at the EXTRAORDINARY REDUCTION in the prices of all Summer wear.
