Toe Administrator of finance of New Orleans? gave notice on the 16th that all license moneys paid by commercial travellers or drummers nuder the city ordinance for 1881 will be returned in cash on delivery of the license receipts, the law under which said licenses were -collected having been declared uncon? stitutional. - The New 0rieniJfc?*tt6* *8 pleasant and we trust prophetic when it says: If the weather is only warm enough - during this month and July, we can yet secure that $6,000,000 bale crop, which, with the promised magnificent yield of grain, cattle, fruit and vegeta^ ble?, will leave the South much_ha?H?r off financialiy than did our>gfeat cotton crop of 1880^?tr~~^w $ _^P&r$?utb Carolina appropriations in the river and harbor bill passed the House io committee on the 16th as ori >i gin ally fixed : For continuing the im? provements of Lynches River $4,400, GreatPeedee $6,000, Wateree $15,000, Wappoo Cut ?0,000;-for Charlston harbor $300.000, Georgetown harbor $7,000; for Bdisto River $8,000, Big Salkehatchie $5,000. A survey was ordered for the Waocamaw River be? tween Conwayboro1 and Waccamaw Lake. The revenue derived from the liquor trame, for the fiscal year ending June 30.1881, was $77,323,859, or nearly $7,000,000 in excess of the. previous year. The increase in the sale of fer? mented liquors is enormous. In 1872 the number of galions of beer manu? factured was 268,462,237. Last year, the breweries cf the United States taro . oat 14,311,028, or about 443,641,868 gallons-the increase from the year previous was nearly 30.000,000 gal? lons. The amount of capital invested in this business is estimated at $400, 000,000, and the number ot breweries, according to the latest statistics, is 2,761. Resumption has taken place in seven rolling mills in and near Cincinnatti and two at Terre Haute, Ind. The manufacturers were a little disconcerted at first, and the strikers corresponding? ly jubilant, but a little reflection has changed this. The Cincinnatti manu? facturers stood idle five months last year while Pittsburgh and other manu? facturers enjoyed their trade. The -compliment is being returned. The advantage of resumption to thc manu ' facturera lies io the fact that the sup? ply of iron will help to prevent such an advance in price as would drive them into a surrender, as has always been the case heretofore.-Bradstreet's. . The Orangeburg Times and Demo? crat says: It is said that the Ft. Motte region, is being rapidly settled up by new comers from the low country. The excellent red clay lands of this section are attracting attention. Lands which sold years ago for $3 and $4 per acre, can scarcely be bought now for $15 or $20. The enhancement bas been pro? digious. Let the settling up go on. not' only in this, but in other parts of Orangebarg County, which is a fit home for settlers anywhere. We want two thousand more to come in before 1882 closes. Ail are welcome. Oar gates and hearts are open wide. Evictions in Ireland are proceeding at 'SV rate almost appalling. A statement is i jnttfclished that they now average a , thousand per week. It is evident from this that the landlords are making des? perate efforts to anticipate the effects of the Arrears of Rent bill, which wonld extinguish arrears in all cases corni og within its scope,. and so prevent thc landlords from using them as the ground for ejecting for non-payment of ; rent. The evicted tenant would no I doubt be entitled to recover compensa? tion for disturbance under the Land act I of 1870 if he could bring his case with? in its. provisions. The evicted tenant can also regain possession at any time within six months from his eviction upon payment of all sums due for rent and law costs. Unless the new enact? ment expressly provides for this contin? gency, and enable? the dispossessed ten I ant to redeem on payment of such ar? rears (if any) which a county court i judge decrees him to pay. it is evident that the landlords can render the tew legislation in many cases a stillborn measure. AK IMPORTANT CONFERENCE. At a conference of Editors after the adjournment of the State Press Associa? tion, it was resolved that a committee of five Democratic editors, one from , each Congressional district, be appointed to meet in Columbia while the State Con? vention is in session, to confer with the new State Executive Committee as to the proper course to be pursued by the Democratic Press of the State in the coming campaign. Col. CL-1. Walker of Charleston, Col. James A. Hoyt of Greenville, Maj. M. B. McSweeney of Hampton, Maj. D. F. Bradley of Pickens and Capt. W. J. McKerall of Marion, were appointed on this com mitte. It was further resolved that all the Democratic editors of the State be invited to meet this committee. The importance of a full attendance of edi j toft at this meeting is self-evident. Finally. Farewell, Flipper. President Arthur's approval of the sentence of the court-martial dismissing the only colored officer, Lieut. Henry 0. Flipper, from the army on account of embezzlement, will be a severe blow to the negro race. The only colored graduate of West Point, his career was j watched with no little curiosity by all, and with the greatest concern by his own people. Few of the latter, how? ever, even among the most intelligent, were disposed to admit the justice or propriety of the judgment. They seemed to feel that had Flipper been a white man the result of the court-mar? tial would have been different, and the sentence surely lighter. They looked, therefore, with confidence to at least a mitigation of the severe penalty by the President, the highest reviewing officer. The failure of their hopes, though un? pleasant enough to realize, will help to teach what they ought to have known be? fore that the transgression of a colored man should not be overlooked on ac acount of his race. Flipper personally ia a small factor in the matter. Had he been content to IWT? earned af^? spectacle livelihood in Atlanta as bis father^?^been for years and is now ?I U disgrace would probably Castle Garden came near being clos? ed last week. The refusal of foreign lines of steamships to pay fifty cents for each emigrant landed at Castle Garden to the support of that institution led to the adoption of a resolution by the Commissioners of Emigration to practi? cally close that refuge for'the newly-ar? rived foreigner. The treasury of the Commissioners is empty, and they owe soma $20.000. The last Legislature passed a bill, (which the Governor has not yet signed.) appropriating $200, 000 for the expenses of the Board. Governor Cornell's reason for not sign? ing the bill was that be did not see why the State of New York should appropri? ate money to prevent emigrants from being robbed, er to furnish theni_juth necessities. A special-coin miftee, con? sistingjrf^tfe^Boai-a of Commissioners jmaV^nmmittees from several New York emigration societies, will go to Wash? ington to urge national legislation to the end that Castle Garden may foe kept open. On Saturday thirteen Steam? ship Companies agreed to pay the emi? grant tax and 4,028 passengers were landed. Destitution in Virginia. DANVILLE, VA., June ll.-r-The long continued drought of last year was ex? ceedingly disastrous to crops in the mountain sections of Virginia, particu? larly in Patrick conn ty, a remote and inaccessible region situated along the Blue Ridge mountains. There was no rain-fall in the entire county from the 19th of April to the 3d of October. The natural result was a total failure of all grain and fruit crops. As early as November last county officials took necessary steps to relieve the destitution which they knew was inevitable, but found that their efforts would be but a drop io the bucket toward saving from 5,000 to 8,000 starving men, women and children, and as spring advanced and the rea) state of affairs* developed, appeals for help were made. Danville is the outlet for that section and the appeals came here. The merchants and other business men of the place went systematically to work and sent about a thousand bushels of corn besides other provisions, and small contributions have come in from Rich? mond and other points. The place of distribution in Patrick is constantly surrounded by starving men and women, who walk fifteen and twenty miles in hopes of getting a peck of corn. These contributions are now exhausted and another heartrending appeal has just come. The famine seems to have affected not only the poor but the rich as well, There is no food io the county. As high as $200,00 have been offered for a barrel of flour, and the people eat with avidity the ungrouod kernels of corn. This famine is no small i thing, and a true history of the inci I dents of this trying time would make a harrowing story. The famine has develop? ed heroism worthy of all praise. One man of means has spent his last dollar and ! divided his last bushel of corn, with his starving neighbors, and is now feeding his children on fruits and vegetables that their bread may be given to those who must be fed to be able to save their standing crops Another gentle roan writes that the potato crop being now available the fear that his little children would starve is past. The liberality of Baltimore and other places has put a bright aspect upon affairs, but the danger is not over and further contributions will not be io vain. [For the Watchman and Sonthron.] Mayesville-Picnic-Fine Dinner Ladies from Sumter, Etc. MAYESVILLB, S. C, June 15,1882. Our little town continues to grow. Mr. Pierson will soon hare his resi? dence completed. Mr. McLeod's waa raised to-day. The bill of lamber for the Presbyte? rian Church is now in the hands of the miller. Several lots have recently been par* chased on which dwelling houses will be baiit this sammer or the approaching fall. With the merchants it is a little quiet now. The farmers are pushing their inter? ests at home so they can enliven the hearts of the merchants at harvest time. Our Mayor told me the other day that there had not been an arrest, for misconduct, made in Mayesville for three months That is distressingly quiet. No money will go into the hands of the Council for them to repair the streets with. However we will put up with the streets as they are for a while if that will keep down rows. To break this monotony it was an? nounced that there would be a picnic for the enjoyment of the community. The grove west of Mr. Anderson Mills' place was selected as the-spot, and the brush and low limbs were cleaned away. Seats were arranged near the trees where the shade was solid. The long moss hanging in clusters from the up? per branches made the situation appear more rustic still. In the centre of this grove a table was spread, which formed a semi circle 48 feet long, lt was liter? ally loaded and groaning under the weight of rice, hams chickens, ducks, pork, mutton, pies of all kinds, cakes and boiled custard. Fish just caught from Scape O'er were fried on the ground, and, Mr. Editor-well, I bad better not say it-but a man with a good sharp appetite, and a tooth for fish was in im? mediate danger. Then, too, when you thought you had enough, here would come a waiter with a dish filled with nice brown pieoes of Jack and other kinds of fish, and who could resist? There were present two preachers. Your correspondent had heard about preachers eating,-and especially their fondness for chickens. Somebody said, they put them to carving as soon, as they got there and they ate the whole time, and then as much fish as anybody else. I don't know about that, but of one thing I am sure, that end of the table didn't groan when they stopped. Sumter was well represented. A good crowd of young ladies and young men were over, and the former added much to the enjoyment of the day, espe? cially to the young men. I am. depu? tized to return the thanks of these young men to them, and beg them to come again, and when they have a picnic in Sumter these same young men will como over if they get an invitation, whieh they hope they will get. We had some very excellent music by the jyiayesville string band. This fL^?r-f to ^^MMja^?^Jl If m? fir i uer, was un^^LWlyenjoyed. The music continued till a late hour, when the sinking sun admonished us that we must break up, though we were all loath to leave a scene of so much pleasure. The thanks of all who participated ! in the rich feasts of that day, are due, and are hereby tendered, to four young men of Mayesville, who spared neither labor, time, nor money to ?ive a day of pleasure to every one. Long may they live and soon may the time come when each one of them may take to himself, as a help-meet one of the fair ones who honored the occasion with her presence. Yours truly, ZEBCLUN. New Postal Card. An exchange says : A new style of postal card with a flexible flap, which conceals the message from prying eyes, is being pressed upon the attention of the postai comoittee ir? hsttfthT senate and house, with the hope of securing tts adoption. The owners of the patent assure the authorities that it will cost no more than the present open card, and that the present rate of one cent can be retained for it. The only objec? tion to it is that it could be made the vehicle of scurrilous messages, but the same objection applies to a sealed let? ter. 'The private message card/ as it is called, is an improvement and ought to be adopted. Cotton Seed Oil in Place of Lard. The Newberry News in speaking about the advantages of cotton seed oil says that a gentleman from Mississippi who has used it and knows whereof he speaks says : 'When properly used it is impercepti? ble to the taste. For frying fish and oysters it is far less liable to burn than lard, and a much larger quantity can be used without waste or extravagance, as what is left can always be strained into a jar and kept for repeated use, with the addition of more as needed. It does not become stale or rancid, and does not retain the odor of fish. From the hygienic point of view he considers it a most valuable substitute for lard, keeping tbe blood free from the impuri? ty and humors with which lard is so freely loaded.' It is a disgrace to civilization and a shame to Americans that wherever in this country there may be historic rel? ics, works of art, &c , just as certain will they be destroyed, mutilated or carried off. At Mount. Vernon these vandals have been at work for years, mutilating furniture, portions of the mansion, and wherever there might be anything to suit the fancy. These con? temptible relic-hunters are mostly from the North, and are, very generally, females. Articles of furniture have bad to be put away and locked up to save them from being entirely destroy? ed by the clippings taken from them. We should think that from the associa? tions the hallowed spot would ever be free from the relic vandals. But it seems not, and we hope very soon to have rigid Virginia laws enacted to save Mount Vernon from the depreda? tions that would soon destroy all re? membrances of a George Washington. - Washington Sunday Gazette. i - i i - - The longest line of fence in the world will be the wire fence extending from the Indian Territory West across the Texas Panhandle and thirty-five miles into. New Mexico. We are in? formed that eighty-five miles of this fence is already under contract. Its course will be in the line of the Canadian Ki ver, and its purpose is to stop the drift of the Northern cattle. It is a bold and splendid enterprise and will pay a large per centage on the investment. The fence will be over 200 miles long. ' The Egyptian War Cloud. LONDON, June 16.-An Alexandria correspondent telegraphs that Ourabi Pasha ha? had notices placarded in Cai* ro exhorting tranquility, and declaring himself personally responsible for the safety of European residents. Arabi Bey is not likely to allow any American citizen to be hurt if he can help it. The TVOTK-'correspondent at Alexan? dria telegraphs that 10,000 persons are supposed to have left there, thus leav? ing many servants and workmen with? out employment. The postmaster doubts his ability to continue the postal service, owing to the probable flight of employees. Engineers at the Atfeh Junction of the Mahmoudish Canal with the Nile have threatened to quit work, which action might imperil the water supply. A dispatch from Alexandria reports that the canal engineers at Atfeh have given notice of suspension of work. The Telegraph's dispatch from Alexandria states that the whole Amer? ican mission has embarked on Board the United States steamer Galena. LONDON, June 17.-The Central News states that the government, with the approval of France and Turkey, has determined to protect the Suez Canal with British troops. Transports have accordingly been ordered to be ready for the embarkation of the troops. The StandaroVs correspondent at Alexandria telegraphs that up to last evening the total namber of corpses found of Europeans killed on Sunday's riot was 340. Eye witnesses state that Europeans who took refuge in the po? lice stations were massacred by gen? darmes. The correspondent declares that the rising was organized by the Prefect of Police. A dispatch from Alexandria to Ren? ter's Telegraph Company says that thousands of Europeans are arriving from the interior. ALEXANDRII, June 17.-Ragbeb Pa? cha bas consented to undertake the for? mation of the ministry. LONDON, June 17.-The ?Ywtesaays : 'Five battalions of infantry and a com? pany of engineers at Malta are available for service in Egypt.' The London correspondent of the Man? chester Guardian says : 'It is thought that Sir Edward Mallet, the British Consul General, and Admiral Seymour may at any moment order the occupa? tion of Alexandria if the attitude of the Egyptian troops appears doubtful.' Special dispatches from Alexandria state that the troops are becoming insult? ing and hostile towards Europeans. LONDON, June 17.-A dispatch from Alexandria says: 'It is stated that the British Controller will resign if Arabi Pacha is included in the new Ministry.' _ CONSTANTINOPLE, June 17.-The Sul? tan yesterday reiterated to the Marquis DeNoailies, the French Ambassador, his objection to a conference on the Egyptian question, and maintained that the assembling thereof would be attend? ed with insuperable drawbacks. ?jjhet?? i an a divorce has long been Famous^ but they seem now to have in-_ vented a new kind, which works with more facility even than the other kind. The other day a farmer and his wife drove into Fort Wayne from their home io the country and went into Court to see about getting a divorce. They had talked the matter over and for the first time since their Marriage had come to an agreement. It was to separate, and all the details had been arranged by them before they left home. The wife filed an application alleging inhuman treatment. She then signed an agreement with her husband to the effect that she should have one thousand dollars in cash, half of the furniture, half of the fruit and vegetables on the farm each year, a new set of false teeth every third year, and half of the milk of the cows, together with the care of the two girls, he takings the boy. They were both in Court and requested that the matter be taken up immediately, which was done, and in a few minutes a decree was entered. HAGAZOTES, &c. Chatterbox-Tho May and Jone numbers of Chatterbox have been received from the pub? lishers, Messrs. Estes ic Lan ria t, Boston. The two numbers are just splendid-we know of no other word which can express it so well. The little ones who get them will surely be charmed with the beautiful illustrations they contain. The Southern Cultivator. We have received the June number of the Southern Cultivator and Dixie Farmer, and as usual it is full of interesting reading matter for farmers and their families. A comparison of this sterling journal with similiar publications, North and South, shows decidedly in favor of the Culti? vator and Farmer. In quantity the latter has about one-half more than any other, and every article bears the impress of care in selec-. don or tbooght in preparation. Every num? ber of the Cultivator has a letter from9Bill Arp, prepared exclusively for it. Special attention is given to the interests of "Patrons of Husbandry," the Secretary of the State Grange being employed to write in the inter? est of that order. Our opinion is that if the Cultivator finds its way into the farmer's home, it will always be a welcomed visitor. Messrs. ?las P. Harrison & Co., Atlanta, Ga., publish it for the nominal sum of $1.50 per annum. The Steuben ville Republican records the astounding fact that it saw a man the other day who had no advice to give an editor regarding the tone of his paper. The man was dead. Not a drink, not sold in bar-rooms, but a reliable non-alchoholic tonic medicine, useful at all times, and in all seasons, is Brown's Iron Bitters. There is more truth than poetry in the fol? lowing from.an exchange : Ask some men for an advertisement and they will answer that they don't believe in advertising-a paper is never read. Let a man be caught kissing his neighbor's wife or trying to bold up tbe side of a barn some dark night and his tone changes immediately, and if a printing office is in a garret of a seventeen story building he will climb to the top to beg the editor to keep quiet-don't publish it in the papar. Honey for a Bainy Day. "For six years my daughter w?3 sick from kidney and other disorders. We bad used np our savings on doctors, when our dominie advised us to try Parker's Ginger Tonic. Four bottles effected a cure, and as a dollar's worth bas kept our family well over a year, we have been able to lay by money again for a rainy day."-A Poor Man's Wife. Beauty Begained. The beauty and color of the hair may be safely regained by using Parker's Hair Bal? sam, which is much admired for its perfume, cleanliness and dandruff eradicating proper? ties. - Liver diseases, headache, and constipation, caused bj bad digestion, quickly cared bj Brown's Iron Bitters. The latest game to raise money at religions fairs is to wrap all the yonng ladies ia sheets and then sell them to the highest gentleman bidder. Each young man who secures a lady at tbe auction becomes her escort during the remainder of the evening, and the fellow who sees the apple of his eye promenading around with bis rival, while his purchase is the girl he most detests, is in anything bot a heaven? ly frame of mind, and no doubt envies the blissful ignorance of the heathens, who never heard of religious lotteries.-Ex.
