Cj?t ^afcjfioasi? Strait TUESDAY, JULY 1-5. ; The Sumter Watcfana* was founded ;> h- 1S?? a?d the ?V ..:<;. Sotttkro? in . 1S??. The Tf?feta'A* *??-? &><i&?T now has the combin?e! circulation aud influence of both of thc old papers, and is manifestly thc best advertising . medium in Sumter. EDITORIAL ITEMS^ Col. A. P. Butler, the energetic Commissioner of Agriculture, has met ?Uh grevions affliction this Summer. . Titree of his children have died since the 1st of May of fever, and thc dis? ease has been traced to thc well which furnished Ihe drinking water for the family. Some discussion bas been had lately tts to what State aud County can claim tho honor of being the birth place of Andrew Jackson, and to satisfy this doubt the Lancaster Review publishes a letter from Old Hickory in which he unequivocally claims Lancaster, S. C., as his native place. For all of which, Lancaster is duly proud. The letter is dated in 182$. J. E. R., of the Chronicle and Con stitutionaJisty tells a very pretty story about Senator Vance, who is reported as longing to see and smell thc pines and dream he was a child again. Un? fortunately, however, Senator Vance was born and raised where pines do Bot grow, and we doubt if the lullaby - cf a pine forest ever soothed his infant slumbers. Now that Cleveland is nominated, tbe next thing m order will be for Mr. John Kelly to step out of the Demo? cratic ranks and stay out. His ab? sence would be a great gain to us. Many Independents would vote for Cleveland, if they see that Keljy is working against him, aird he would bring many more votes to as than he mould take away. ^ ! The newspapers are beginning to re? cord brightening prospects in the Sn so? cial world. We cannot begin to feel ' it here in the South, but possibly our time will come after a while. Wo are inclined to think, however, that wc -are not near out of the woods yet. But with good crops, our people will ] 'have plenty for their immediate oeces- ( ?ties and can snap their fingers at the , scarcity of money. j, - Congress has adjourned at last, and ? everybody is glad except the hotel and ] boarding house keepers. The Session < ??as not been an unmixed success. Sins < of omission as well as commission can ! be justly charged against the legislators, i but let us be thankful it is no worse. ? Nearly 11,000 bills were introduced j < daring the session, and only about 200 j ] became laws. We can mention arnon % { ; sensible acts, the repeal of thc iron ! i dad oath, also the reduction of news- j. I? per postage. j j A bill for extending the franchise in j Great Brittain, and which had been ! 1 carefully drawn and thoroughly dis- j1 cussed in the House of Commons, has 1 jost met with a bad defeat in the House 1 .of Lords. The Radicals are very angry over thc result, aud a motion has j been made ia the Commons to discuss j the feasibility of turning their lordships j ? out of Parliament altogether. It will j1 be a good day's work for Great Britain j when she gets rid of such legislative j, nuisances as thc House of Lords. j : Smalls the redoubtable, our Smalls, ! the Representative of the Black District j in Congress, is becoming uneasy about j the rumor that the Democracy in his J District arc about to run a candidate of j their own. If we ever had any j doubt about thc incapacity of ' Smalls both mentally and morally for j his position, it certainly has not existed ! since his speech at the Blaine and j Logan ratification meeting in Wash- j iugton, at which he predicted a war of j races in South Carolina, in the ensuing j I campaign and said 'they will not be all niggers that are killed cither.' (t is now reported that Khartoum, j which has been under thc command of ; Gordon for some months, has been j captured by the Mahdi, but that no ? butchery, which is the usual conse? quence of the False Prophet's victories, followed. It is also said that most of 'the Europeans became Mussulmans, for prudential reasons we suppose, and can now swear by the Prophet as vigorously as thc Mahdi himself. Gor? don according to one report was safe, though a prisoner. Another account reports his death. The formal presentation of the Bar jholdi Statue of 'Liberty Enlightening j the World' by the French Govern- ' mont to the United States took place I r i on tho 4th instant in the workshop of j M. Gauthier, Mr. Mortou, Uuited j Skates minister to France being present ! nod receiving it fu the name of his Government The occasion was very interesting. Several speeches were made, and among them, one by M. lb;Lesseps, the venerable canal digger. ! If the New York Committee can bes ?-nough rooney to supply thc sinews of war for a short while longer, thc podes- I tai ??ill be complete aod the ma?oifi-j . . . * I cent statue in position. Gov. Hubbard, of Texas, who waft : temporary President of the Chicago Con? vention, made a good speech upon ns- j suming his place. It was truly mrltum j in parw>9 and his arraignment of the j fraud and h y poer i cy of the G. O. P. | was eminently fitting. In speaking of j the stupid absurdity of waving thc ioody-shirt at each annual recurring j cotton he said : My country mon, the ' war is over for a quarter of a century and they know it. Why, our boys have married young maidens of the North and children have been ber?; to them r-?ner: those days. (Applause arid laughter ThcV '-^W', SOE*ir:tiC ' "? -"v es " J ' e to tho ailar, and side by side at living beds they will talk of that bourne whence no traveller returns, will lie down and be buried together. Why the boys in blue and gray have slept together for a quarter of a century apon a thousand fields of common glory. They are representing the best blood of the laud, and though differing in days that should be forgotton, the good men of all parties in our country to? day, thank God, have united iu the great common progress of our race, to forget war and the memories of war time.' OUR NOMINEES. We can heartily congratulate the country and ourselves upon thc nomi? nations made at Chicago. Grover Cleveland for President, and Hendricks for Vice President make as strong a combination as could be desired. Cleveland is our beau ideal of a re? former ; perfectly independent in his political methods, he never hesitates to condemn friend or foe, if their acts are wrong. It could not be otherr?jse thau that such a man should ?eet strong op? position from machine politicians in his own party, but that very opposition endears him to honest men in all par? ties ; and if the Democrats of thc United States wish an honest man, with i convictions formed from conscientious j considerations of duty, and with thc [ courage to abide by those couvictions, j then he is thc man to fill the bill. J Governor Cleveland is not an experi? ment, but has already showu his fitness, in solving political problems, smaller it is true, but very similar to the one that will meet him upon his entrance into thc White House. WTe of the South have every reason to work for the ticket, foi Democratic success means more to us than North? ern Democrats, with their more fortu? nata fttrroundings, can ever imagine, j it nie*as a thorough renovation of thc PostomVo and Revenue Department, it meanV our assured control of thc i of&ees ano! officers in the South. It J nieass an attire cessation of appoint- j ments to office made entirely from aliens ? or colored ^people. It will place j the people of thc South once ! more in their Legitimate position as J master in their OWL; homes and will re? lieve us of thc bordo of hungry forcign 2rs, whose only recommendation, in the 2ycs of the powers thal bc, is that they hate the people whom bvey are required j to serve officially ; and Southern men will devote every energy to moke his i ?lection sure. Southern people can never ? know thc heavy weight of Federal in- J justice, until thc burden is ta.'cen from ! their shoulders by the election of a j Democrat, and then they will woo der j bow they managed to endure ifr; -\nd j vre look forward to victory next Noven- i ber with anticipations second only ?o | t,hosc with which we regarded I?at!p- ? ton's success in 1376. God speed the j right. Gov. Cleveland. ! _ i Grover Cleveland is thc great-grand- j son of Aaron Clcvclaud, a Congrega- j tional minister, who was born at Nor- ! wich, Conn., in 1774, and lived there j most of his life. Aaron Cleveland was ? a man of singular versatility, who car- j ried on thc bat business, wrote j voluminously in prose and poetry, and j was a stanch Abolitionist. One of j Aaron's sons was Father Charles Cleve- j land, city missionary of Boston, who I lived to bc nearly lill) years old. An- j other of Aarou's sons. William, a sil- j vcrstnith, was deacon of the Congrega- : tional Church at Norwiehtown for j twenty-five years previous to his death, j in 18o7. The youngest of Aaron j Cleveland's thirteen children was thc j wife of Dr. ?Samuel H. Coxc, whose j sen, Arthur Cleveland Coxe, became | Episcopal Bishop of Western New ! York. Grover Cleveland's father was Richard Falling Cleveland, thc second j son of Wm. Cleveland, the sou of the j silversmith. After graduating at Yale | in 1S24, the Governor's father taught j school iu Baltimore, studied theology ! at Princeton, and became a Presbyte-1 riau clergyman at Windham, near ! Norwich, in 1828. l?e married a j daughter of Abocar Neal of Baltimore in 182'J, preached a short time in Ports? mouth, Va., and then settled in Cald? well, Essex county, M. J., where Grover Cleveland was born iu 1837. The baptismal name was Stephen j Grover Cleveland, but at an carly agc j the Stephen was dropped, and after- ! ward thc Governor has bufn known as ? Grover Cleveland. The Governor's parents had nine children. Anua, thc eldest, was thc wife of Dr. Hastings, missionary to Ceylon; William N., isa Presbyterian minister at Forest port, N. Y. ; Mary became Mrs. W. E. Hoyt; Cecil and Frederick were proprietors of a popular winter resort at Nassau, and lost their ! lives at the burning of tho steamship Missouri oil tho Bahamas in 1872; Margaret became Mrs. N. B. Bawn ; Susan is thc wife of L. Youmans. and ; another J ister, Kose, is unmarried. When Grover Cleveland was turee years old his father moved to Fayette? ville, and the boy was sent to thc aca? demy at Clinton. N. Y., where lie got the bulk of his education. Ile loft j school at 10. His lather was too poor j to send him to college, and he worked j in tlie village grocery store for ?50 a year. Upon the death of his father he came ! to New York, and was for a time n J teacher in the New York Asylum for i the Blind, at Ninth avenue anti Thirty- j fourth street. In May, I $55, he took j up his residence with hts uncle, Lewis j F. Allen, a breeder of fanny stock at i Black Kock, 111 , whom he assisted in j the publication of a herd book. Ile ? determined to study law. nod besan at. j a salary of $1 a week, in the cilice of j Bogers, Bowen ck Kogers, :?t BolTalo, i walking rain or shine, to the house of] his unel", two r:iil^s distant, often wit!: ' scanty clothing. Re studied hard, amid many privation.?, got about all his pleasures oar of iii ; law bosks. Attorney of Kr?v .ou-jty iu ?35& ftc waa drafted while sewing his term as Assistant District Attorney, and furnished a substituto. At thc close of his term ho was nominated for thc office of District Attorney of Bric coun? ty, but was defeated by L. K Bass, llepubfican. tie then engaged in extensive and lucrativo practice as a lawyer, and was successively iu partnership with I. IC Vanderpoel, A. P. Lansing, Oscar Folsom, his former antagoni.-?. h. K Bass, Wilson S. Bissell, and George J. Sward. He was elected Sheriff of Evie coun? ty in 1809. At thc close of his term as Sheriff he resumed the practice of law. Two years afterward bc was selected as tho reform candidate for Mayor of Buffalo. The campaign was a vigorous one, and he was elected by the largest majority ever given in Buffalo.' In Buffalo he was a prominent figure. Ile was a member of thc Buffalo Club. Vice-president, of the City Club, and one of the Vice-Presidents of thc State Bar Association. His election as Governor by a ma? jority of nearly 200,000 was a surprise to even his firmest friends, and was partly in consequence of thc fact that many Republicans either voted for him or remained away from the polls. in person the Governor is a little above the medium height, well propor? tioned and portly. His thin ?lark hair is tinged with gray, and his eyes are dark. Kc wears no whiskers, but a heavy, dark moustache. Notwith? standing thc number of preachers in bis family, lie has not been prominent itt religious matters, and has, since his manhood, devoted nearly all his time to the law. Ile is a bachelor. Thomas A. Kendricks. Thomas A. Hendricks was born a Buckeye, his native place being a small village in Musking um county, not far from Zaucsvillc, O In 1822, when he was 3 years old, his father moved to j Shelby county, Jud., and that State has j since been his home. His father had j sufficient property to educate his child- I ron, and at the age of 22 young llend- j ricks was graduated at llanover Col? lege. Ile went immediately to Cham-1 bersburg. Pa , where he studied law, I aud two years later wa3 admitted to the bar. Ile then returned to Indiana, | and ia thc Village of Shelby ville hung j out his shingle. OM acquaintances say j he made a quick success, both by his j knowledge of thc law am! by his au rae- j ti vc personal characteristics, lt is said '? that thc late Gov. Morton, when op- ; pubing young Hendricks, could usually ? win before a jury, but in an argument j before a Judge Hendricks would beat . him every time. In 18-18 Hendricks was elected a : member of thc State Legislature, and j two years later helped to form a Con- j stitutiou for his State. Thc next live j years he served his district in Congress. . Then one morning, while bitting on thc ! poi i iee of his home in Shelby ville, a l friend handed' him a franked envelope j Dost-markcd ^Washington." It was i from Franklin Pierce, asking hint to j come on to Wash::.gio:? and take the ; omeo of Land Commissioner, lie ac- ! t cepted, and nearly four years discharg- j cd the duties ofthat post. Ile remain- j ed in office one year longer than he I intended to because of a controversy j with Land Officer Burch ?of Missouri, j Burch's son had taken up a very large \ tract of the best land in Missouri, and j Burch wanted to get a patent for thc young man, contrary to law and right, j Hendricks cut off the grab, and stayed* iu cdncc long enough to sc J that it j should not again bc attempted. While commissioner he heard and decided j 2l*.??O contested land claims. His standing before thc people of his j State Made him the Democratic candi- j date ?br Governor in 1SG0. That was j not a go?xi year for Democratic candi-j dates, anti Henry S. Lane defeated him. i Lane went- to thc Senate nt once, and j Morton succeeded to the (J o vernor's chair. Two years later the Democrats turned tho State Legislature and Senate j inside out, and tito nev/ Houses at once ! elected Hendricks United States Sena- j tor for the term expiring in I?C3 j This was the opportunity which I lend- j ricks needed to give, him a national j reputation. Democrats could do little j more than protest in those days, but ! Hendricks protested against thc Ke pubiican reconstruction methods so effectually that he was the most con? spicuous candidate before thc Demo? cratic National Convention held in New York city in 1808. New York's dele? gates and all the Northwest backed him, but Ohio kicked over the traces, voted persistently for Seymour, and finally, with the aid of thc gallery gods, created a stampede. After leaving thc Senate in 1800, lie practised law in Indianapolis until 1872 He was then made the candi? date i<>\' Governor of the State, and was elected by a majority of 1,148 At St. Louis in ?87? be accepted thc second place on thc ticket headed by j Mr. Tildcu. i -mn -. ? ?.^a>? - THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC !

A ? deal of spleen was spit out aga Cleveland, by the marplots, but al! vain, for a vote was taken hy St which resulted as follows : total cast, 795 ; for the amendment, o against, 403 ; not voting, 7. In the above vote, South Caro voted 3 ayes and 14 nays-one b< absent. Tammany died hurd, rcsisi to the last, even after a majority > side of New York bad voted aga them.

She gave Hen? dricks one vole, and this seemed to be thc liguai foran outburst of enthusiasm which swept o vcr the immense audience and lin ally seised upon the delegates and raged without intermission for half an hour and tiuict was only restored when lungs and breath failed. This cyclone of wild enthusiasm was a pre? concerted scheme, urranged by tlie anti-Cleveland managers in tin1 hope of stampeding tlie delegates into the Hen? drix column, but Manning, the Cleve? land leader, was au oh! stager at such work ; li?; had listened to the wild howls of Tammany in previous Conven? tions, and sat. undismayed through it ali, j When ijuief was restored and the roll ! progressed it was seen that Cleveland was steadily (jainin^. and atthe.closc of tho roll cali a large number of States ? changed their ballots f<> him.

JULY 12, 1SS4. ?fr. Editor : If Senator Earls, in his card we see in your paper of this week, intended his insinuations for thc undersigned, please allow us a little space, as we cannot permit some of his remarks to pass unnoticed. Except for thc hist clause we sec nothing to answer, ss it appears to us to be a mere noti? fication to ali persons no: agreeing with him not to "apply" for satisfaction or informa? tion, and that only those who are not sufii eiently interested or unreasonable to be dis? satisfied with hu co%se "need apply." Senator Earle can form what opinions he pleases of our motives, as we do not believe that the public officer, who openly acknowl? edges a difference in his conduct as between friends and enemies, in the discharge of pub? lic duties, capable of appreciating any other than the petty motive he imputes to us. and be is welcome to whatever consolation there lies in arrogating to himself ''enemies/' of constituents (among whose naci.es he nil! recognize warm supporters of two years ago) who have recently called him to account, with others, for an infraction of thc civil service plank, in full force everywhere else in thc State, and which bc endorsed, at least by acquieseuce, when adopted by thc State Convention. Rut thc independent thinkers of Sumter County, whose good opinion wc do value, after knowing tito circumstances as they do, can judge for theta, elves, whether the Sena? tor's assertion is backed hy reason, or is mere egotism. We saw our friends ousted for no given cause, which carries in itself an implication of inefficiency or malfea? sance in S. C., and were besides put to the great inconvenience of having no magistrate near at hand ; tied at the first meeting of our club, which was attended by eighteen mem? bers, more than the usual number, called for au explanation of our delegates and condemned the (apparent) great wrong done tho offi? cers removed. In our humble opinions t?tere is nc plainer right that a citizen possesses, down to the humblest colored Radical, than thc right of calling for an explanation, and condemning any act ofa public servant of which he does not approve, and none that ii is mere his duty to exercise, and DO more manly course of doing so, than through ihc public press, whe re all can see and read. We would be glad to hear what more manly course he would suggest. In the last clause he says that Independents, (Jteeni..deers and those Democrats who rc trained from voting at the last general elec? tion, "need not apply." Mr. Earle must recollect that at that election, thc polls for State oinecrs.-it Stateburg, for reasons better known to him*than to us, were not opeued, and ii was generally believed to have been at his instigation, so that those of us registered there, "refrained " Is this his idea of manly conduct? to attempt to make it appear by an imihnaticn, that we were not true Demo? crats, as ive suppose on this basis he founds one of his excuses, for not answering our "ap? plication." We heard some time ago that he had urged this against the oflicer moved from Stateburg township, but as we did not think it could be trw?, especially as he had another appointed, who could not have voted either, we though t little of it. A tier the action of the last convention wc would not have tried to bring this subjoct up again for the present, if it had not been attempted to show that we had receded from our first position, of which we are more convinced now, than ever, ol' the rightfulness. Agitation, and open, free dis? cussion by the people of the past, present and future of a party, can never hurt any party worih keeping together, and only those fear it, who are not sure of their own rectitude. Under the lightofpublic scrutiny, thc spoils system, with its inevitable fruits of trickery, corruption and bossism willies and dies. (Signed) W. J. REES, W. R. FEUD, J. M. BRADLEY, S. MOORE, J.
