Notes, ? ?"Grant ami Bruce," according to the Boston 7'okc*, is just Iqo lovely a blonde and brunette team for any thing. ?Five different parlies have this vear attempted to whip Michigan journalists. The last one is still in the hospital, oinT the other four are very humble-minded as they wander to and fro. ?The Senate refused to .con firm the nomination of Robt. M. Wallace for United Slates Marshal lor South Car olina, by a strict parly vote. His confirmation was strenously opposed by both our ScJialors. ?That great and good man, Wru. A. Wbeider, wdio has occupied the office of Vicc-l'nsident during the past three years, has declared in fav or of Gr:: nt, and left the Senate chamber for the sis?ion. ?Many a sad heart will I c glad dened, many a torn spirit healed, by the joyous announcement that His Celestial Highness, the Head King OfSiam, is to visit this country during the present year. ?Senator Hampton made a speech on the Kellogg-Spofford resolutions before the Senate Thursday. He took the ground that Kellogg is euti tled to bis seat, inasmuch as on a previous occasion the Senate bad an nounced ils deliberate judgement in his favor. ?The probabilities now are that the Democrats of Virginia, despite their , bitter differences over local issues, will vote together for the Cin cinnati nominee. The Richmond Whig, the leading Rcadjustcr paper, nppeurs to have thrown over the un pledged electoral ticket scheme. ?The New York World refers to Montgomery Blair as "a politician who,having been mercilessly flung out j of the window by President Lincoln und left for dead, was resuscitated I and set to writing letlers by Mr Til den for his own purposes several years ago." ?In Jacksonville, last week, the. colored Republicans treated their while brelhten pretty much the same way as was <Ume in Atlanta. They took matters in hand and forced the while rods to take back scats. This is right, and should be the universal practice .all over Ihe South. ?The slit in Wbitakei's ear has, for some weeks past, furnished more texts for northern p'tlpils than the works of the Apostles. If he is al lowed another whack at them, the Right Reverends might dispense with .the Bible altogether. ?The Detroit Free Press <j:ves the following good advice; "Keep your .eve on Congress, and mark the men .who refuse to vole fur free paper. Kvery man who refuses is an enemy to the people at large, and should be shelved as soon as possible. ?The Richmond Dispul-h says Ihe people are looking to Mr. Seymour "as the man who is to lead them in this lost contest for the fathers of t he Republic. He asks I hem lor nothing. They ask him to lake the highest office in the world. Let his name be called in the convention, and tho end will have been reached." ?The tone of the Republican Stale Convention of Georgia may be guessed at by the remark of one Mr. Pledger, a colored man, who was chosen as chairman of the State com mittee. He said that his people did not want honor, but money, post ofllnes, custom houses and collector-1 ships. "Give the colored man sug-j ur," he said, ''ami you will satisfy him." I ?The General Synod of the JCvan- I gclicnl Lutheran Church South, which j had been in session at Richmond* j Vn., for several days, adjourned yes lei day. Many <lelcgat.es from the j Church bodies North were present, .and steps were taken looking to a | more intimate connection with the Northern Church. A plan for the i /establishment of an institution for the j training of colored children and homeless boys was warmly approved and will doubtless be pushed for* (ward. J ?John Kelly solemnly declares: .that if Tilden be nominated, Tarn ma | jny IlaJI will not vote for him. ThiuJ means the absence of 7?.0J0 votes and . loss of the Stale. If any man in New York favorable to Kelly should he nominated, Mr. Tilden might play the same game, The duly of the j Democratic party, iu Ibis contingen cy, would seem to be plain, and that 'n to select some man who can carry) New York, but who do?? not live ' there. ? A sagacious Republican writes to jLbe Tribune as 'follows; "ThoRepub H?ari party seems to tue noorer detent than at any ether time since tlio war. Il lias been deluded with the nolion tUat tlio Democrats wore going to make a fatal nomination ; tbey are more likely to make a strong one. It has been deceived with the belief that the Democrats would split; they will probably be united." This was written before the closing of the Penn sylvania feud. It has additional sig nificance now. ?Senator Coekrell, of Missouri,] scored a good point the other day. Allison had offered an amendment to a pending bill requiring the Presi dent to appoint annually two colored cadets to West Point. Ccckrell op I posed the proposition y'gorously, and ? rat her startled tho Republican side, ] with the desire to know if it bad, at ' last come to pass that a Democratic I Senate was asked by legislation to i force a Republican President of the ? United States to recognize the color ed race in the distribution of his fa j VOIS. The Kellogg Case. No one can doubt that General ?Hampton understand* tho necessity I of patty organization and the obliga tions of party fealty. In view of his past services lo Iho Stale and the South, no one can charge him with Insincerity or inconsistency because jbe happens to differ from his associa tes upon a question of tho greatest j moment, and the decision of which I will have a conlio'ling influence upon ' si miliar questions for all limu in the Congress of ?bis county. Rather is 1 our noble Senator to be commended I becauscs he dares to follow his own I convictions of duty,, guided by his conscience and sense of right. Il is I easy for a man lp drift along in the 'pai.U's current and lo ride into favor i .by pai.dering lo popular sentiment, but it lakes a hero and a statesman to oppose the current when lo do so ex poses him to the taunts and criticisms ? of every partisan who may choose lo question the purity of motives when ho has no purity himself. We must confess that we admire the action of j.Gen. Hampton ; it savors of that mor I al sublime that few men can attain to. ] We predict lhat this course will prove [to be the right one and will ultimate ly redound to Iho good of th i Democr tic parly and lo the South. Jn 187G W. P. KeUogg, Republi can, and II. M. Spotford, Democrat, were opposing candidates for the Sonatorship of Louisiana. The elec ! lion was contested and the credcnli 1 als of both were presented to the Sen ale, the fust in January 1877 and the isocond in March of the same year. 1 These papers were, on their presen tation, referred to the committee on i privileges and elections. This com i mitten reported the case back upon i its merits and recommended that j Kellogg be admitted lo bis scat. The I Senate, then being Republican, adop ted Ibe report and Kellogg was duly seated. Being discussed and decid ed upon its merits, the case was ad judged to be final as to tille to a seal in Congress. At the next session j iLo Democrats were in Ibe majority and because now facts had been dis covered, a r esh investigation of the I case was bad and the committee rc I ported in favor of unseating Kellogg i and seating SpoQbrd. Upon the j adoption id' this last report Senator ; Hampton made the speech which ar rays him against the majority of the ! Democratic party. If iho report be I defeated, contested seals will be de cided on Uu.ir merits and the case ol ' Kellogg, to which the Republicans j subscribed, may be cited as a finality ; !if the report, however, bo adopted icd then the party, in control at lb'* j lime being, will seat or unseat at pleasure without reference to mer it, right or principle. Should such a case be established as law, then our government will be in u Stale of con stant confusion, at the mercy of a party which will adopt any mcaaurc, however corrupt, that will secure lo il power and party control. On such questions men must rise above party and be governed by fixed principles of \ justice. Sectional prejudices must be ! discarded nrd duty to the whole peo j pie govern the conduct of public representatives. The Old and the New. The session of iho late County Con vention ended the official term of Col. M. I. B'owning as County Chair man. In retiring Col. Browning en jo\s tho best assurances of his ac ceptability and efficiency as the chief executive officer of the party in the v.eal manifested by our citizens, the unanimity prevailing in the ranks of the parly and tho encouraging send oil to the campaign. As his succes sor, the-Hon..S. Dibble brings to Ibe -, position a devotion lo parly princi- j plen, n zeal in parly work and an ability in managing a political cam paign second to no man in the State, : and it is almost tho universal desire | of our citizens lhat ho may find il convenient to accept the position, j So great is the unanimity among our; people in his favor Hint wo can scarcely imagine it possible be will decline. A Colored Vice-president. Ever since tho right to hold office und to vote ha3 been conferred upon tho negro race, there has beeu a dis position on the part of colored politi cians, .in State polities at least, to de mand a recognition oftbat right by claiming full equality vrith the whites to hold otlice from the lowest to the highest positions in the State. In the Legislative Department this has been willingly accorded pretty universally at the South ; in tho Judiciary De partment there have been a few in stances where negro judges succeeded in reaching the bench ; and in the Ex ecutive Department South Carolina furnishes a case of a negro who Idled the high position of Lieutenant-Gov ernor. Having succeeded so well in State politics, the same demand was made, though with only partial suc cess, in National politics. There have been a few colored Senators and Representatives in Congress, but neither the National Judicial nor Ex ecutive Departments have bef graced by a colored representative, a...l the philanthropists of the Republican par ly have been plied on every occasion of an election by their ambitious pets for recognition of their right. Their colored brethren from many sections of the South have lately been earnest and persistent in their efforts to se cure the second place on the National Republican ticket lor Senator Bruce of Mississippi, and the ?leaders of the party have been equally zealous in dodging the issue so plausibly made. Nothing could seem more just or rea sonable than this demand of the col ored people for lecoguilloiK and noth ing so 8f rely tested the sincerity of those Republicans who have always cried "(be poor negro" just befoie a political campaign. To save the par ty and the credit of its leaders, Mr. Bruce has been induced to decline the nomination. The Republicans know better than to make such a nomina tion for in the day it is made their party dies at the North. If the pluck of the negro be equal to bis ambition and bis political strength, we advise him to lot'CO the recognition of his right to a place beside Grant on the Presidential ticket. lie can do it, ami if bis nomination nuns the party let the wretched bubble burst. - - -?> ? ^ - ? A Change of Front. We notice in the last issue of the Sea Island News that Ex-Lieut-Gov. Gleaves, colored, has published a let ter to the colored people in which be comes out in favor of Mr. Sherman as the Republican Presidential candi date instead of Gen. Grant. It is also worthy of note that the New York Tribune gives Sherman four voles from South Carolina ill its estimate regarding the canvass. Whether (?leaves writes in the inlet est ol Sherman from personal conskleration and is but an auxiliary to the Tri bune, or whether he reflects the chang ed sentiment of the colored people of South Carolina, is \\ matter of some interest just now. it indicates one of two things ; that neither Grant nor Blaine is acceptable to Ihe party and the}' wish to bring up a civilian of uc knowleded ability and sound princi ples with the hope of running him in ; or that Sherman, mindful of bis own interest, has offered better induce ments to Ihe colored voters of the Sou b than Gen. Grant, and, there fore, the change of sentiment in his favor. Let. this be as it may Democ racy is sure to win. Early Nominations. According to the reports from the different counties that have taken action in the matter, there seems to be a majority in favor of leaving the nomination of a State ticket to the good sense of the delegates when as sembled at Columbia. This is doubt less the better plan because all the information necessary for a correct conclusion may be obtained by com paring notes and a free communion between the delegates. Five or six counties only have declared positively against early nominations and have so instructed their delegations. If there bo found to exist no controlling reason or urgent necessity for .June nomination, it will, in our judgement, be better to postpone the matter until later in the summer. Every practi cal reason seems to indicate this as the h< tier policy; The character of the delegations thus far selected is a guarantee that the best possible course will be adopted by the conven tion. All tho people want is a Dem ocratic success next fall and they must have it. We see by the News and Courier, '.hat Ihe friends of Col. W. J. De Treville, in Charleston, have put his name in nomination for the Solicitor ship of the first circuit. Wo took occasion once before to say that Col. DeTrevillo is well qualified for the1 OfUcc, and that Orangeb'irg is jusly entitled to the nomination. Let his \ friends in Charleston do their part and Orangeburg will take care that the oflbc be well filled. | Hagood and Gary. About half the counties have been heard from through their conventions, and in each of these a canvass was made in ordor to ascertain which of the leading candidates held tho con fidence of the people.- No accurate conclusion, however, can be arrived at?the li untied data will only allow an approximation which might be ox j pressed in short fonn by the propor tion of I) to 1 in favor of Gen. lla good. Several of these counties have not declared their preference for either candidate, while a few have expressed their opposition to Gary, but no preference for Hagood. This leaves the matter in extreme doubt as to Gon. Gary and Hagood, with a very decided probability in fa vor of a third man being brought to the surface ami run in. The reports from a few more counties will throw much needed light upon this perplex ing subject. "Daddy Cain." From an exchange we clip the fol lowing paragraph : "In the African I Methodist General Coulcrencc, at St. j Louis, recently, tho, action of the Iiishops in deposing Dr. R. II. Cain, of South Carolina, fjfrptn the Secreta ryship of the Board of Missions, was sustained by n decided vote. Dr. Cain was removed because he was too deeply engrossed in politics to attend to his duli.es in the church." The Doctor is belter known here by the ! appropriate appellation of 'JDaddy ?Cain." Orange burg County had the bad luck of being misrepresented in Congress several years ago by this sa ble political preacher, but what be is doing now in a jvoliiieal way we arc j not informed. We suppose, however, ihe is working in the campaign with jibe hope of getting something from ."do party." Senator Gordon Resigns. I A dispatch from Atlanta, under date of May li), says Senator Gordon j has scnl in Ins resgination lo the Guv j crnor as United States Senator, to ' lake effect immediately. The Gover nor has accepted his resignation and 1 will appoint his successor tomorrow. j A dispatch from Washington under the same dale says Senator Gordon in an interview tonight said that his reason fur resigning the- scnalorship I were : First, tha1 be desired to leave public life, and sccord, that it was j necessary lor him to devote ell Ins time to private business, which re quired his personal attention. The I good wjll of our people will go with j Senator 'Gordon**?* bis retirement, as h? was certainly their true friend in i the darkest period of their history. Memorial Day. While the bravo men who .survived the ''Lost Cause" have been hauling against corruption and evcty conceiv able evil that could threaten a peo ple as the result of an adverse revolu tion, the noble ??omen of the South, : treasuring the sacred memories of the past, have been actively engaged in faithfully earing for the graves of ' those noble spirits, who fell in defen ding a cause they believed to be both j righteous and just. No age affords a parallel of such love ami tender devo tion lo the memory of tho dead as j that which adorns iho present and wins ! the praise of the civilized world. All j honor to our noble women for such touching and devoted constancy. Drinking, North and South. I Among other charges made against the Southern people by the saintly j brethren of New England is that of 'excessive drinking. It titillates the devoutly moral sensorium, such head I lings as 41 Lawlessness,'' and ''Bad j Whiskey," in delineating the condi tion of Southern affairs. And it dc lightetb them exceedingly to register tucmsclvcs from the land of so-called "steady habits." The crimo of drun ? kenness among our people we shall : neither paliatc nor deny. As a mat jtor of his'ory, however, it may be j well lo note that there are other glass j houses than ours. Revenue Commis sioner Raum, one of tho faithful, in ibis annual report, makes some devel opments, not particularly gratifying to these self-constituted judges of our section. There are, according to ' this report, in the six New England j Stales the following number of per sons engaged in the liquor retail l> adc : j Massachusetts.6.333 j Connecticut.2*559 i N?nv Hampshire.S2(I j Vermont.440 Rhode Island.1,275 i Maine.G94 t _ Total.12.127 ' Now let us see bow the typical i Southern Males in equal number com I pare. The following is the number of \ j retailers : j Georgia.-2,01 7 j Louisiana. .3,559 i Mississippi.1.392 ; North Carolina.1,759 ; [South Carolina.1,272 Texas.3,392 i _ Total.13,901 in tliis, we huvo taken them East and West, omitting Alabama, which, by-the-wuy, has the lowest average. Taking the appropriate census aver age, tbe proportion of retail dealers in the six Eastern States, is about twice that of the six named Southern States. Now it is a well established fact that in any locality the number engaged in the retail tratlic is a fair exponent ot the number of drinkers. Besides, tbe criminal court records ot either one of the Eastern States show a larger proportion of crime from drunkenness than those of the Southern States And nil this too, with the large number of ignora.nl blacks in the South, while those same Northern Males boast uf their "church and school house in every township." As we said above, we have no excuse lo oiler for the short comings of our people, but we hardly think a lecture from New England on morality in order when her own condition is taken into consideration, and we must decline to take it to our selves.

Tho Sensation of the Period I Mi l'jinye lint True X HARD TIMES BE CONE! -o HAVING been watching for .some time post tho financial pulse of the country and tho ever varying events of the triiding world with a view to the in crease or ilecrea-e mir w eekly purchases. WO are prepared to announce to our num erous patrons that our investigation of these subjects has boou perfectly satisfac tory and that wo have as a consequence forwarded larger orders than ever be fore to our New York agency. The year 1880 therefore begins with llattei ing prospects for farmers, mcchan I ics and' nil other laborers alike. The financial pulse ol the country is steadily Improving and having returned almost to a bard money basis, we shall gradu ally but. Purely recover our former pres tige and the so long declining prosperity of our beautiful .Southern laud. Being (irmly impressed w ith the forc-shadow | big? of I hese approaching events we have ! made arrangements commensurate with the demands they will disclose. Our Agent in New York is already in receipt ol our instructions directing iiini to be Oil the alert for every Mile mid fail ure as well as every bouse tottering on the brink of bankruptcy, so that he. with cash In baud may lake in every bargain and thus enable us during the present year not only to increase our own re sources, but to become also a never I changing source of assistance -to our] friends by selling them goods far below the wholesale market of New York. It was tho credit system th.it paralyzed our industries in the past ami caused so many interests to droop hud wither while every article needed for family consump tion doubled hi value. Thus while labor j w as Inadequately compensated, goods ol every description approached almost fab ulous prices ?ml the daily sweat ot a man's brow barely obtained lor himself I and family the commonest necessaries of i life. Too much credit w jll alw ays create demands greater than the sources of sup ply will .-nlisl\. hence everything takes an upw ard tendency under it-- operations, j Ou the other hand cash transactions w ill ! make the supply larger than the demand I and consequently goods tall to bottom l prices w hen ihi* rule prevails. We long j ago a opted this system am) lind that it works splendidly in all its bearings. If I you lollow it you will be sure never to buy wiiat you do not want, and in this way keep von from the iron clutches ot debt. J We pay cash lor all our goods before I they leave the place bought from. Hence j our ability (independent ot our uiitivah d facilities tor buying) to outstrip and un dersell all our competitors. The mer chant who buys on time, (and who ol t'lem doesn't) not only has to pay the bl?h est pi ices lor what 'hey get bijt also the ' additional percentage added on all credit i sales. Now all this comes out of the e<m j sunn r. t be man who patronises the I hue merchant at home. It will at once be I perceived that the ?UlctCUCC between us j is va-t indeed, iiiid i (tut I he buyer on j credit system caumd purchase goods at market prices, while we. by paying cash, ?r^^ i the most extraordinary bargain.? at a i large ?! Sc? unl On Whole-ale cash prices lit is theretoru quite eas\ lor qs to sc j I below other nu t chant- and guarantee perfect satisfaction in every ease. Our syslem is one of our own. and has I many advantages w hich we shall not ex I plain, htit let it si.flbje thai, the larger j portion of the bent-lhs arising from it are , reaped by'our friend-* and patrons; and ! by it we have established > repot at fun near and dear to us. W ith honeiiy, lair jdealing. quick nates and small profits as our watchwords we have conquered the j demon ofbi^h piic<s;ihd to reed from I him the acknowledgement that he has been systematical*y .swindling and de ? Ira ui Iii ig t he people. ! We have demonstrated to thousands in lliis and other counties that it is pos sible w lieh dealing with a lair and honor, able III? tenant who buys strictly for e i.-h. to purehiisu goods at prices which were current before I ho war, To buy and sell j good- does not necessarily imply that to ! be sucec>.?!ul one must either bu a cou I scienei b-ss extortioner or ;i "rasping j Sbylock. a- in every other calling the I merchant can dhinlly and ennoble bis profession or be can sildj It into iniquity ' and trail its courtly garments through ! cesspools of deceit. dUhnticsty. fraud and I double distilled misrepresentations.
