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. "The goose am cooked." Fig
jutes don't lie, und here they are:
Hancock and English will cany the
following states: The S(olid South
J.38. 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. A cordial invitation is extended,
to every one who reads this circular to.
give us a call, no trouble to show goods
or answer questions.
We will sell tor one dollar cash what
you will pay three for in October if you
buy on credit. We ouy direct from the
cheapest markets in America for cash
less the large discount, and can and will
sell as low as the wholesale merchants
of Charleston, Now York or Baltimore,
and to those who favor us with their reg
ular custom we oiler as rare inducements
as were ever offered In this or any other
I community Our goods arrive weekly
and must be sold, look to your interest
I and call on us when you visit town.
Farmers, look to your own welfare,
you who have sunk low and lower each
succcoding year while the mfddle men
around you have grown rich in comforts
and wealth, you have barely lived by
working from sun to sun the year round,
while others have added thousands to
their already plethoric treasures, by sell
ing on credit to you In the spring and
collecting in October and Nobenaber the
sweat stained profits of many a merciless
bargain. Let our farmers eschew this
in iuture and iearn to watch as well its
pray?let them break from the old beaten
paths of credit and ruin, and demand an
equivalent for their money. Let them
aspire to higher and greater achieve
ments.
