It is jost as uowise to underestimate as to overrate the strength of an aspi? rant for political honors. Wheo Mr. Randall said to the Philadelphia Times that he would be the Democratic nom? inee for Speaker, he missed it, aod so .does the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, wheo he says that '-'outside of his o wo delegatioo Mr. Baodall has oot at this time the assu? rance of twenty-five votes." Including Mr. Raodall's own delegatioo (eleveo ve'es, leaving oot Raudal!) he has probably somewhere from sixty to seventy supporters, and would obtain that number out of 190 odd were the caucus held to-day. But his strength is decreasing steadily as the reason^for. Illation ?g. I" gggB gore ap? parent, aod by the Rae thc matter comes op for settlement he will pot be sure of a corporal's guard. Let Demo? crats look at the situatiou. Admit that when questions of economic administra? tion were chiefly involved Mr. Randall was a Democrat of Democrats, yet wheo the tariff becomes ao issue be is a Re? publican of Republicans. His seat in Congress is given him by Republicans. During the last regular session of the Legislature of Pennsylvania the differ? ences between a Republican Senate dod Democratic House were so marked that no congressional appointment could be agreed npoo \ cooseqoently, the Legis-*j ture was called in special session to cousider the matter, aod the same differences existing, an adjournment will probably be had without perfect? ing a bill. This dispute as to the re? districting the State is one of party. Democrats and JRepclriiccus aiike in 1??n^^poff~a formation of districts which shall give them congressmen at least proportionate to their respective numbers. But in all this clashing and wrang? ling, this intense party dispute, there is ooe exception to the general rule. Every congressional apportionment bill introduced, either by Democrat or Re pnblican, carves out a long and narrow ! district on the right bank of the Dela? ware for Samuel J Randall. He could not go tu Congress without thc help of Republicans and be knows it. All he bas done aod whatever be may do io the cause of Democracy is nothing to Republicans, who give him an oppor? tunity to go to Congress to represent thc protection ideas of Pennsylvanians irrespective of party. Republicans rightly consider that his services in the cause of protection arc an offset and more than ao offset to anything that he can otherwise do for the Democratic party. It is in order for those Demo? cratic representatives who now propose to vote for Mr. Randall to think of these things and reflect -seriously before they commit themselves. We are not afraid that he will be nominated, or that be will be even a formidable com? petitor to the revenue-tariff Democrat opon whom eventually all opponents of Mr. Randall will unite ; but we do believe that it is best for the Democratic party that it should not at this juncture do anything to justify the charge that any considerable portion of its members are in favor of protection. The recent platform of the Pennsylvania Republi? cans speaks Pennsylvania sentiment generally, irrespective of parties, and Democratic representatives ought not to lose the opportunity of putting tbetosel ves in direct opposition to it. Baltimore Day. It is claimed that the "tariff for reve? nue only" plank is the only perfect stick of timber left in thc platform of j National Democracy. It is further I claimed that Mr. Randall has worn j away every edged tool that has come j within his grasp seeking to mar and j scar the one perfect difference between 1 Republicanism and Democracy. Further, it is claimed that HOD. Samuel Dibble, Congressman from thc First District, is j disposed to sharpen op Mr Randall's little weapons-that is to say the Hon. S. D. wants to represeot Mr. Randall, the friend of protection at the gnuie time that he represeots the Free Traders of the First District. Go to, Mr. Dibble ! Your course is not Democratic, or your Democracy is io consisteot. Tbe only people who at once ride two horses successfully are circus folk.-Palmetto Post A correspondent of the Wilmington, N. C., Star claims that Aodrew Jack? son was bern in Ireland, tod says the record of his birth is on the Parish regis? ter, at Carrick ferg as. If th is be true, hts election ss President was illegal and Confederate Bonds. For some time past Confederate bonds bave been bought and sold throughout this country, aod ever since the busi? ness started it has been a mystery to most of our people as to what use the purchasers intended to make of them, as oo sane parson ever expected to hear of any attempt or even request being made for their redemption, but there is no estimating the amount of *'cheek" and assurance some people have. A recent number of the London News says that a number of holders of Confederate bonds have subscribed ?10,000 for use in the endeavor to induce the States wishing to establish their credit to recognize a portion of their debt. Lord Penzance, Mr. Jorst, M. P., and HOD. F. C. Bruce, M P. were appointed trustees. Thc promoters of the organi? zation do not expect more than ten per cent, nf the debts, averaging ?800,000 j per State, to be recognized. The Times also says that the effort will not be made without a preliminary understanding with some promiuent Southerners. One of the first questions that arises apon reading this paragraph is, "are those people really silly enough to be? lieve that there is any deceot man in the whole South who would for a mo? ment entertain any proposition at all looking toward the payment of these hoods Vy If they do, we must indeed he a fearful lot of fools in their eyes The idea of such a thing is too ridicu? lous to be entertained, aud the person who would propose such a measure would be looked upon as an enemy to his country and his people. If our State was back in the hands of the Radical thieves who flourished in the Moses administration, perhaps they might be induced to listen to the propo? sition, as they would entertain any pro? posal that would give them money io the shape of bribes. In those days, as DOW, the white people had all the bills to foot, aod it made little difference to thc legislative thief how heavy he made our burdeos; but DOW tbiugs arc dif? ferent, and nc one would dare to make such a villainous proposition to a legis? lative body. Confederate bonds are as dead as the Confederacy itself, and any effort to collecUthein will prove fruit? less. We don't want any credit that it costs so much to establish, we eau do without it, and the speculators who bought op those bonds With the expecta? tion of seeing them paid, may as well make up their minds to lose what they have invested.-Camden Journal. A Terrible Calamity in Greenville. Between 4 and 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon thc residence of Mrs. S. E. Turoipseed, a two story frame struc? ture, corner of McBee avenue and Westfield street, Grceoville, was de? stroyed by au accidental fire, which ac? complished its work so quickly that the inmates of thc house barely escaped with their lives. _^Tja^^^^e^l^of4 ?f'tinHbfifrning building fell in upon several young men who were-endeavor? ing to rescue thc contents of a room. James Dorroh, son of Dr. J. F. Dor rob, Ben. Johnson, colored, and Chas. D. Moseley, a son of Colonel M. F. Moseley, were fearfully burned. These three were taken from the build? ing in a blaze of fire, their clothing being almost burned offthem. Dorroh and Johnson subsequently died from from the effects of their injuries. Moseley will probably recover, lt S. Jones cf Oconee, law student with Wells & Orr, was seriously burned abous the face and hands ; Frank Shu? mate, sou of Major W. T.

New Orders ConcerniiigJfte Trans-j. s:i?6?on of Newspapers. WASHINGTON, July 10.-The follow? ing order was issued from the Post office Department to-day : "Complaint has been made to this department that second-class mail matter (newspapers and periodicals sent to regular sub? scribers) is not in all cases promptly forwarded to the addresses Such matter is of at least equal importance with the letter mail, aud it should be treated with equal care by postal clerks. If it is necessary to withdraw second class matter from its wrapper in order to ascertain its destination it may be done, but this will not be allowed for any other purpose. Second class mixes will be treated as prescribed by the regulations and orders. If postal clerks find any second class matter im? properly directed, that is to say, ad? dressed to the wrong postoffice, they should report the fact on the trip reports so that the Superintendent may notify the publisher, but should not change the address or course of the package. The Postmaster General de? sires that the practice of reading news? papers and periodicals passing through the mails bc discontinued wherever it exists." Bock and Bye. WASHINGTON, July 10.-Thc Com? missioner of internal Revenue has ad? dressed a letter to Collector Harvey of Chicago, in which he calls his atten? tion to the advertisement of the Tolu Rock and Rye Company of Chicago, in which they claim that their compound is a medical preparation, and may bc *old without special tax or license. The j Commissioner asserts that the company j Ins garbled a letter of Commissioner | Rauui*3 on the subject, and directs the | collector at Chicago to demaud from the j company payment of special taxes as j rectifiers and liquor dealers, to date from the first instant, and to require all persons in his district selling the compound to pay special tax as liquor dealers. Melons in New York Two parties went to New York from Florida lately, the one with 8 000 and the other with 3.000 melons for sale. On their arrival here on the r* turn trip, they were questioned as to their success.

[For the Watchman and Southron.J COLUMBIA. Every one knows that Columbia was burned by Sherman's array, aud that ever since then the city has been slowly pulling up again, and its progress has been very slow. But the visitor to the Capitol lately could not help noting the marked improvements that are now going on, or that have recently been made. The first thing we notice is the hand? some Union Depot that has lately been built by the South Carolina Railroad Company, the want of which heretofore has been a very serious inconvenience to the traveling public. On leaviog the depot our attention is directed to a large and substantial brick building on the site of the old National Hotel. Thi3 has been erected for machine shops by an enter? prising firm of Columbia. Over at the Peni? tentiary we hear the busy hum of the ma? chinery, and upon inquiry are told that there is a large shoe and hosiery factory inside. Hard by we see a "big" canal being cut that will one day revolutionize the business of the city. Coming back into the city we step into Wright's Hotel, one of the best in the coun? try, aod are greeted by that pleasant gentle? man and prince among hotel keepers, Mr. W. S. Carr, who makes one feel at home at once. While quietly sitting there, we hear a peculiar whistle. What is that? It is the Ice Factory. We step down there and see the whole thing at work, and find oat that the factory turns out 17 tons of ice per day. Walking down Main Street new buildings are seen going up on nearly every vacant lot. Older buildings are also reported to be changing hands at increased value. There are several large machinery depots in Colum? bia, and also several manufactories of dif? ferent kinds. Taken all in all, Columbia eau truly be said to have taken a long step forward, and in a few years, possessed of all her natural ad? vantages, she will be the Queen City of the South. May that day speedily come. No one should visit Columbia without going to the Lunatic Asylum. This institu? tion will compare favorably with any of its kind, anywhere, and its management reflects credit upon the State. Dr. Griffin, the Su? perintendent, is a very affable gentleman, and is the right man for the place. Our peo? ple should be better informed concerning this institution, so as to be more able to appreciate the necessity for ita being liberally provided for. The figures show that the percentage of Lnnacy in South Carolina is lower than any State in the Union. The Telephone Exchange in Columbia is one of the largest in the South, and when she gets her city railway, she will be well equip? ped. The improvements can be seen on every side, and we can soon say "Hail Columbia!" We-congratulate our citizens at the State Capitol on the bright future before them. VISITOR. Whiskey and Murder. The closest partnership known in | this world is that between whiskey and I murder. The man with a demon in his j heart fills himself wita whiskey before/j" he can bring himselfjLo^ll^^oj^?f kill? ing even a stranger. The man with a heart as generous as the hand of nature, , when filled with the cursed drink, will kill father, mother, sister, brother, | wife or child. Where one is found, there thc other is fouod also, is the ? rule with scarctly on exception. The lawyers of every criminal Court, the j Judges on every bench, the condemned j on every scaffold, will all declare that j nine murders out of every ten are the j direct product of the distillery. But j what has given alcohol this great | monopoly of death ? Ah, it is that I powerful silent partner; the one who ? reaps the first fruits of thc harvest, pro- ! duced from fields fertilized by h ars of wives, widows and orphans. This si- j lent partner is the government of these j United States-our government-"the . government of the people, by thc $?SX*~T pie, for the people." Front- every still ii-takes Tts tithes ; under its hand - and seal the accursed driuk is sold ; by its license it becomes a legalized traffic ; under'its protecting wing the traffic flourishes and attains great respectabili? ty. And who is this governoient but thc agent of the people-the people themselves? Then we, the people, arc the partners in the liquor crime, ls it any wouder that a righteous God strikes dowu the head of such a nation ? Is it to be wondered that the public service is rotten to the core? that whiskey thieves and star route rascals are filling high places? No.no; it is rather to be wondered that the national punish? ment has not been greater, when we think of this terrible, legalized, pro? tected pnrtnership of the devil. Not a day passes in Chicago but the news boys cry out, "All about the murder!" or "All about the double murder!" and the word murder plainly tells the story. You know at once that the brain of the assassin was fired by alcohol, probably legalized alcohol, from which our government had taken its tithe, that we, the people might be taxed the least for national cxpeuses, but ten times more for the expenses caused by the ficud. To-night as wc write this, to-morrow as you read it, there are iu ten thousand families tears of sorrow being shed by mothers, wives and daughters whose happiness has been ruined by rum. There never was a cause more just, and righteous than the prohibition cause. There never was greater need for sturdy patriotism, for heroic deeds, than in this crusade against the cup, against the direct cause of murder against not only the besetting sin of thc aire, but our greatest national crime.

The circumstan? ces are as follows : Araede Chartier, of West Farnham, P.Q., recently had diptheria ; he became so bad off after a relapse that alj hopes of his recovery was abandoned by his physicians and friends, and as a last resort a brother of the patient said that he had a bot? tle of Kendall's Spavin Cure and wished to try it. Ile applied it to the neck, and then reduced a little, and the patient after some difficulty succeeded in gargling it in the throat. He soon noticed 3ome improvement, and by continuing its use a complete cure was effected, and now he says he knows it saved his life. The above remarkable experience led us to investigate farther, and we found that Kendall's Spavin cure has the most re? markable effect on human flesh of any remedy of which we have ever heard, and we have become soundly converted to the opinion that no remedy bas ever been discovered which possesses such remarkable qualities for the diseases of man as well as beast. Every one should cut this out and paste into a scrap book.- Times. The death i? announced of King Omoru, one of the sovereign's of the African coast. This monarch was, as the saying is, very much married. He had 706 wives and 95 children, 77 of the latter being still alive Hls eldest son and successor is as uxurious as his father; having already 412 wives. Allcoek's Porous Plaster Cure where other plasters fail even to re? lieve. Take no other or you will be disappointed. Insi3t on having ALLCOCK'S. PHILA, 308 NORTH THIRD ST., \ ' February 1, 1883. / I have been using Allcoek's Porous Plas? ters for a number of years and always with marked benefit. I have been much troubled with muscular Rheumatism ; have been treat? ed hy five of our best physicians without re? ceiving any relief whatever. I then used Allcoek's Plaster on the parts affected and I can assure you that paia has almost entirely left me. I can recommend them to every one as the best plaster made. I have tried other kinds but found found them worthless. B. F. GALLAGHER. Weak Kidneys Cured. CONTOOCOOK, N. H. V March 3, 1880. / I have been greatly troubled with Rheuma? tism and Weak Kidneys. I wa3 advised to try Allcoek's Porous Planers (had used two other kinds of so-called Porous Plasters, which did me no good), but one of yours has worked like a charm, giving me complete re? lief, aud I have not been troubled with Rheu? matism and Kidney Complaint since using them, aud I consider myself cured.
