Notes. ^lajor Tom Pcbiltrcp, of Texas, a Giant delcgule to tbo Chicago con vention, has declared for Hancock. ?A "Grant club" in St. Louis, pum|>eiing sixty live members, has transferred its allegiance to Hancock. ?Letter found on a California sui cide : \'lu this stieltet cd nook I lay mc down to die. When a man out lives his usefulness, I H|io){ he ought to retire. I have done so. Adieu." ? It is hinted now that a man for Governor will be notniu ted by the lieptihlipnn parly "at lltfl last mo inenl, so that his evil deeds may not be made known through the papers." - -The Republicans in Washington do not hesitate to say that Hancock's nomination is the strongest that could have been made. Even the Star of thnt city, with strong Repub lican (canings, admits that tjic ticket is strong enough to he elected. ?Having informed a startled world that Hancock wears corsets, the Republican organs now gravely assert that W. II. English appeared at the Cincinnati Convention in a pa per collar. Whether the future V. P., was ilad in any other raiment at the lime doth not appear, ?-in the broach of promise suit ol McPhcraqrj agaipgt Warnio, at Shel by vilie, Ind., the dofcnijaut'd counsel took the broad ground that no wo man of 57, which was the plaintiffs age, could possibly form a romantic iovc for any tnai). The jury sustain ed that tbeory by their ycrdjpt. ?The destruction by fire and flood ami tornado during the summer has been very great. The estimated loss py the ovciflovv of the Mississippi River is said to amount to millions of dollars, in addition to the Hood the ciops in the Northwest ha '0 sujlered exceedingly from too abundant ruins. -?It has been learned from an au thentic Republican source thnt the Republican executive committee will not cull their State Convention before September, and perhaps as late as October. It ja not, thought that any nominations fpr titate pjllcera will be made, but shotjjf] [Ucy decide to do no will favor a shott campaign. ?There is no use to subscribe any thing more to the Garpcld campaign fund.

New York, 35: New Jersey, 9; Connecticut, ,G ; Colifornia, G; Oregon, 3 ; Ohl? , 22 ; Pennsylvania, 29. Total electoral voi?& 5J4?. ?Gen. 11 uncock vi-dtcd New York Moudny und.was waited ujion by the Hancock pld .Guard. Cul. Mulhall, of the Sixty-ninth Regiment Now I York Vouutecrs, said that they hud, called upon him us old frionda bimply irrespective of politics, to c?.ugruiu lute Iii111 uli Iiis nomination to the; proftideuey ; that they w\?re composed of Republicans and Dem/jtcrats. Gen. Hancock received lhem cordially, thanked them Cor their visit, and ac copied one of their badges, a blue ribbon, bearing llie words, "Tho Hancock Old Guards," and a sprig of shuinrock. An iuformul talk fol lowed. Increased Dissension. Thai Mr. Garfield is not an ac ccptnble candidate to a very large ilutnber of Republicans, will scarcely admit of u doubt, and that the inilu once thus withdrawn is of aulllcient strength to give the party considerable nneusiucss, is attested by the decided indifference manifested by the old lcudcic us lo the result of the cam paign. Grant's friends give Ihe cold shoulder to every party movement in augurated to advance its cause. Conkling remains at home and, it is said to avoid his share of .responsibili ty, will make it convenient to spend the remainder of the year in Europe. Logan, though a sub-chair man ol a Weslarn division of the parl\, is woefully wanting in confi dence and enthusiasm. Cameron, for the benefit of his declining health, went lo the White Sulphur Springs , whieji will require a stay in private for Ihe rest of the summer. Secreta ry Sherman is sullenly ruminating nver the shamch s>; compromise enter ed into by Guv. Foster which he con siders u sale of his chance to the pres idency. He is not only dissatisfied with Gai field but. with Arthur and the entire compowion of the Execu tive Committee, and by way of re venge thwarts the party's plans by re moving from office in his department [the friends of both Graut and Gar field. Silently but surely this defeat ed candidate is spreading a most ruinous dissatisfaction through the party in every section of the Union. This cannot lail to exercise a cent loll ing influence on flic hopes of the par ty nud the lenders in the interest of Garfield know it. Mr. Blaiue, while not at all complaisant, is yet better disposed aud more tractable under party reins. He is a machine politi cian and will go with the party. This want of harmony among the leaders seems to be somewhat epidem ic, and is spreading over the lesser magnates as is evinced by the refusal of the government employees lo pay ihe asse smcnt of two dollars on the huudred of Ihcir salaries fur campaign purposes. Every clerk or employee who exhibits so little respect for the party's welfare is at once dismissed and his place supplied by a better and a wiser man. This evident spreading of '.ho spirit of dissension among the Republicans ought to be a source of ppepuragement to tho Dem ocrats and excite them to greater ef forts for the success of a cause upon which so much of the nation's inter est is at slake. While success is more than probable, yet there is a money power in the hands of our op ponents that is tremendous beyond belief. At Ihe lowest estimate there arc one hundred thousand employees of the government controlled by the Republican party, which will pay at the rale of two dollars per month in to the campaign fund, or one million dollars for five monlhs, all of which will be appropriated to campaign pur poses. This of course is independ ent of the usual contributions made by department officials, merchants, rich men and a political lax among the rank and tile of the parly. These will be heavy to meet the exigences of of so desperate a campaign as the present one promises to be. Money is all they have to work upon, for campaign mud throwing will fail them before tb,e splendid record of Hanc ock antj English. The day thus far is bright for the Democracy and the evening promises to be a glorious one. Hancock and English Accepts. The committee, appointed by the Cincinnati Convention lo make a formal tender of the nomination of President and Vice-President to Gen. W. S. Hancock and Hon. W. II. En glish, reached Governor's Island Tuesday last, attended by the Nation al Committee, and performed that duty. Bolh the gentlomon expressed their determination to accept the res ponsibility in a writtpn npecptanco at a future day. The jMajesty of tho Law. ! Law should be the expression of tho will of the people und, to bp au thoritative, should receive the wUT'iig j obedience of every clement in a eoin mudity. A society, controlled- by a power invested with such a right, rep resents tho best form ot 1 an nun gov ernment which throws its wholesome influence around every member, regu lates every phase of custom or prac tice that may obtain among its ele~ meuts, and issues its mandates with a power to secure obedience. The highest type of civilization is found here. On the other hand, power with out right is the most detestable ob ject that can be presented to the mind for thought, and i3 second in this quality only to law without authority to command obedience. Wo can very well understand how one man, or even a set of men, may desire their will to control others, but how forty millions uan submit to such a power is a little beyond our compre hension ; nor do we see how the en tire moral sentiment of a community can yield its right to control to a vicious phase or a criminal practice. The Iiiui, is the dictum of a despot and prevails ip some countries as a burden and a hindrance to progress ; the second, often a relic of barbarism, rests as a blot upon society and u blight to blast the growth ol* a correct moral sentiment. As the one exists only by corrupting the masses, so the other lives only by poisoning public opinion?both pernicious to their subjects and work ultimately their own destruction. Dueling as a practice occupies precisely '.his posi lion in American society, and is doomed sooner or biter by the opera tions of correct principles to give place to a higher morality and a truer sense of honor. Once it was consid ered a test of bravery and a proper adjuster of wrongs, but experience teachers the contrary to be true ; once il was considered honorable and the duelist a leading member of society, but now it is a crime and the duelist a criminal and voluntarily excludes himself from society to sulfer out his self-imposed seulencc. j 1 Duelirg has been submitted lo pub lic judgment for a decision aud the public has rendered Ihe verdict. It remains only for the law, which is but the expicsion of the public will, to assert fls supremacy "by controlling the actions, directing the modes of "thought and regulating the custom of every individual in socictVj.1f If there wa? 'ever a lime and case calling forth the authority of the law, that lime is the present and that case the recent duel between Cols. Cash and Shannon. Kvery principal and sec ond should bo urrestcd, tried and made lo sutler the full penalty of their crimes, whether it be death on the gallows or a life service in the Penitentiary. Duelists must be put on the same plane with murderers, and seconds with abettors in crime before the majesty of the law can be respected or the moral sense of socie ty protected. Spoiling for a Fight, The level headed cdilorof the Co lumbia Palmetto Yeoman comments as follows on the letter of Mr. W. B. Cash to the editors of the News and Courier: "Mr, W. B. Cash, the son of his father has written a threatening letter lo the editors of the Neius and Courier, iu which it is broadly hinted that if they do not quit truducing and misrepresenting his fa.her in regard to his late troubles with Messrs. Shannon and DePass, they may be called upon to partake of a cold lunch, the prominent dishes of which might be pistols and coffee, The editors are evidently not particularly alarmed at the turn matters have tak en, and do not seem disposed to be driven from thcit prescribed course of duty by "paper pellets of the brain." They give the note the benefit of their columns, and reply in u half serious, half humorous vein, as if they did not care much, as shedding ink don't always result in shedding blood. A gunpowder reputation is pot as essen tial, us a passport Lo the leper circles of the better class of society in South Carolina, as it onco was, and a man who lights a duel now docs it at bis own risk with all the chances of life and position against him. Arrested. Col. Cash, who killed Col. Shan non in the recent duei, being notified j by the Sheriff of Chesterfield County that the warrant for his arrest was in j his hands, went to Cheraw and stir- j rendered himself to that officer. A special deputy being put in charge of Col. Cash, he was aljowed to return home and will remain thero until he can appear before Judge Mclver on a writ of hohen9 corpus. This is rathr or unusual proceedings in a caso of murder, qud would not be practiced in cases where ono man phoots down another in cold blood. Wo fail to see a diJJercnoc to warrant the excep tion. Maj. John J. Galley. Tbo sudden death of Maj. John J. Salley, Sr., on Friday last, cast a gloom and a badness over our entire town. Being in the Court House the entire morning trying to complete his Census report., he seemed in his usual good health except at times complaining of a pain in the side, and conversed with his usual ficcdom and I cheerfulness. About two o'clock P. M., his attention having been called by a friend to the fact of his horse and buggy standing in the sun he left oil' work and stepped out to put them in the shade. Whilst in the act of pulling the buggy he was seen to slap his hand to his forehead and to fall to j the ground. The attention of Dr. A. S. Salley, his brother, being called to j tho fact, he ran to render whatever aid was needed, and was astounded to see his brother lying on the ground already dead. The body was taken into the Sheriff's office wliere a Jury of Inquest was called and after mak ing a satisfactory examination mude up a verdict of death from natural j causes. Maj-?.Salley was one of the best men we ever knew, lie was us art less and simple us a child, presenting I a purity of character and faultlcss uess of disposition that won the es teem and respect of every one who knew him. Principle, supported by a high"senso of honor, controlled his j life and from its pointings be never wandered for a moment. So truo was this tl&l his friends could tell with acourucV what would be his probable course of conduct in any emergency or where he would stand on a subject demanding n decision. For this rea son he was honored by his neighbors with several positions of honor and trust and was found ever faithful and true. Having received in part a mili tary educution at West Point he was in early life one of the principal pro jectors of our present noble company, the KdTOtO Hilles, aud when organized was elected its fust captain. His zeal and proficiency in this depart ment secured for him the position of Major Of the Fourteenth Regiment of our State Militia. Having served in these offices with honor to the com mands and credit to himself he was clected^or several terms Tax Collec tor for the county, and here, too, dis played the unwavering adherence to principle which was ever the guide of his life. On the very day of his sud den ds?h. he had been nominated in tUr^p^jflrby his friends-for the office of School Commissioner and in all probability would have been the choice of our citizens. Maj. Salley belonged to on? of the best families in our county, the mem bers of whicli are high toned, trusty and patriotic. Of six brothers and quite a number of sons every one did his full share of duty in the Confeder ate service and since the war has sus tained his integrity unstained by the poisonous touch of Radicalism. In the death of Maj. Salley the county has lost a noble and honored citizen, the church a pure hearted Christian and the community a loved and hon ored member. Our sympathies are tendered the family. Greenvillo Railroad. There is a rumor going the round of the press that Ibis road is about to be olfered for sail again, in conse-j quence of the first purchaser's failure to meet tho first installment. Itj seem however, that while there is some foundation for the rumor, that is still an error as to the sale. It is not yet decided by the Clyde Committee to abandon the purchase but to con tend for possession at their last bid $2,400,000 against a legal opponent, on the pica that all bids over that figure were made by straw bidders who only acted in the interest of certain bondholders to increase the price. A decision upon this point will bo re quired of Judge Hudson presiding in in Fifth Circuit and will be looked for with interest by others than the bondholders and tho Clydo Commit tee. Hancock and Mrs. Surratt. Tito Republicans are trying to make capital out of Hancock's connection with the execution of Mrs. Surratt. The Boston Pilot says: "Our Repub. lican friends will stop tho Surratt question when thoy remember that, although Gen. Hancock was the offi cer in charge of the execution, Gen. | Garlicld was a member of the Board that condemned her to death." A Card. It having been reported to me on Wednesday that a ticket of county officers bad been posted on the door of tho Court House with my name at its head for Senator, I deem it pro per and due to my friends to say onco forall that I am not a candidate for any position whatever. Hugo G. Sheridan. St. George's. We enjoyed a most pleasant visit to this flourishing town on Saturday and Sunday of last week on tho occa sion of the meeting of the District Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association. Few places of the same size, about four hundred inhabitants, presents more attractive fenluics than St. George's to a visitor. Prosperity seems to rest upon every enterprise, whether professional, mer cantile or mechanical, and a harmouy of purpose and unity of sentiment among her citizens are noticeable even by the most casual observer, making a stay of days among them of more than ordinary interest and pleasure. The home assigned us was with Dr. P. L. Moorur and his pleas ant fanrly, whose generous hospitali ty we found to bo only the type of that dispensed by the entire popula tion to the delegates in attendance. We speak but the general sentiment of the convention when we say it was liberal, unconventional and full of that Christian fellowship which emi nently characterizes the entire com munity. There is a religious atmos phere about St. George's that is re freshing nud healthful, which one cannot breathe without feeling better for having done so. It pervades eve ry sect and condition of life. With such people intercourse is pleasant, and every member of tho convention bears with him delightful memories ol his visit, and wishes again to en joy communion with the generous friends of St. Georges."

The Sensation of the Period I Stx*a.Mjar? JfVp True I HARD TIMES -BE CONE! ??o HAVING been watching fur some time past the financial pulse of the country nn,d the over varying events of tho' trading world with ql view to the in crease or decrease our weekly purchases, we are prepared to announce to our num erous patrons that our investigation of these subjects has been perfectly satisfac tory and that we have as a consequence forwarded larger 'orders jthau ever be fore to our New York agency. /' The year 1880' therefore begins with llatteriug prospects for .farmer.!-, mechan ics and all other laborers alike. The financial pulse of the country is steadily improving and having returned almost to a hurd money basis, we shall gradu ally but burely recover our former pres tige and the so long declining prosperity of our beautiful Southern land. Being firmly Impressed with the fore-shadow ings of these approaching events we have uiadc arrangements commensurate with the demands they will disclose. Our Agent in New York Ib already in receipt of our instructions directing hinri to be on the alert for every sale und fail ure us well as every house tottering on tho brink of bankruptcy. so that he, with cash in hand may take in every bargafai and thus enable us during the present year not only to Increase our own ro^ sources, but to become also a never changing source of assistance to out friends by selling them goods far below the wholesale murket of New York. It was the credit system that paralyzed; our industries in the past and caused so many Interests to droop and wither while every article needed for family consump tion doubled in value. Thus while labor was inadequately compensated, goods of every description approached almost fab ulous prices and the daily sweat ot a. man's brow barely obtained for himself and family the commonest necessaries of life. Too much credit will always create demands greater than the sources of sup ply will satisfy, hence everything takes an upward tendency under its operations. On the other band cash transactions will make tho supply larger than the demand and consequently goods tall to bottom, prices when this rule prevails. We pay cash tor all our goods before* they leave the place bought from. Hence our ability (Independent of our unrivaled facilities lor buying) to outstrip and un dersell all our competitors. Tbc mer chant who buys on time, (.and who of them doesn't) mit only has to pay the high est prices for what lhey get but also the additional percentage added on all credit sales. Now all this comes outof the con sumer, the roan who patronizes the time merchant at home. It will at once be perceived that the ditlerenee between us is vast indeed, and that the buyer on credit system cannot purchase goods at market prices, while we, by paying cash,, get the most extraordinary bargains at a. large discount on wholesale cash prices. It is therefore quite eas\ lor us to sell, below other met chants and guarantee? perfect satisfaction in every ease. Our s> stein is one of our own, and baft many advantages which we shall not ex plain, but let it Millie- lhat the larger . portion of the beitclhs arising from it ars* reaped by our Iilends and patixms, utltli by it we have establisheda reputation near and dear to us- N uh honesty, lair, dealing, quick sale* and small p rollte as. our watchwords we have conquered the demon ol high piicesand iurced from, him the acknowledgement that be has been systematical')* swindling and do Ira tiding the people. We have demonstrated! to thousands in this and other counties- that it Is pos sible when dealing w ith a lair and.honor able merchant who bays slrietlyjor cash,. Io purchase goods' ?tuirices- wtticVwerjr current before the war. To buy altd selL goods does not ueevssarily imply that, to be successful one must either be a con scienceless extortioner or a grasping. Shylock, as in every ether culling tins merchant cun dignity und ennoble his prolessiou or he can sink.it into iniquity and trail its courtly garments through, cesspools of deceit, dishonesty, truud und. double distilled misrepresentations, lie can be a blessing or a curse to his coun try. As lor us we prefer a good name with a slow hut steady increase in busi-. ntsslo the gouging process which makes, one merchant rich to-day and a thousand, poor laruiel s penniless und brvudlcss to-, morrow. Ours is the true plan, by adopting it, you avoid tlte Scylla of credit on the oimj side and the Cbarybdis of u lein execu tion on the other. To trade with us is to. insure satisfaction, increase jour wealth and generul prosperity. Week alter week during the present year we shall, spread daily upon our counters a stock of goods as varied as the leaves of the forest.
