?|t Sitaft|man at? Souita TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9. The Stonier Watchman was founded ia 1850 and the True Southron lo 1866. Thc Watchman and Southron now has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is manifestly the best advertising ai^iom in Straiter. EDITORIAL ITEMS. Ssa ator Anthony of Rhode Island, th* oldest United States Senator io Congress died soddenly on Tuesday last at his home in Providence. He was tery popular tn the Senate and though a strong Republican was thoroughly Kted sod respected by all the members. The election.io Vermont last week .?ts for Governor and State officers : Of course the Republicans were success? ful bot by reduled majority. Some towns that never elected a Democratic ticket before gave very creditable -ma toritiea ; and so the good work goes en, the Sun, Beast Bailer and Blaine to the contrary notwithstanding. Boee the government was organised, so such complications in politics bas .- ever existed as are now wearying the I Brain of prognosticators of future events. \ Prohibition, An ti-monopoly, Green back is m are all rampant, and, with Beast Butler taking the place of the witches and stirring the caldron, devel . opmeats rich and rare may be expected. The Primary campaign is over aod every body'is glad. The defeated can . didates wish it bad been over long ago, ' and thereby saved them so much trou? ble for nothing. The long-suffering ! voter rejoices that the day for free board sod lodgings at his expense is a thing of the past. The successful can? didate ts in so serene a state of mind that any concatenation of circumstances would be satisfactory to Him. Mr. Roscoe Cockling, who has pre? served a Sphinx like silence since the Presidential campaign opened bas re? cently opened his month, bot his utter? ances have not made Blaine happy. Mr. GonkHng evidently does not fee! the least interest In Blaine's success, in foot it is surmised that he would be very witting to see the Plumed Knight de* Jested. . The Mormons are most persistent . asuaelytera. No difficulty can daunt their bigoted, obstinate leaders. Their saistinnaries afc scattered over Europe working ss vigorously for converts as if there was no trouble staring them, in the face at home. We see that 200 new saits left Liverpool lately in one botch ? and with the prospect of being followed by many more. The State campaign in North Caro Han between the rival candidates for Governor is warm, very warm. Gen. Scales and Br. York, the opposing can? didates are making the canvass togeth? er, ead numerous are thc scrimmages be? tween the adherents of the doughty exemptons; at times the meetings break np in a unanimous row, but for the most part, they -aug oo till the speakers are through. The political campaign in the North and North-West most be exceedingly tame. The Democratic papers declare that the Republicans have not enough enthusiasm to blow ont a match, while the Republicans insist that an ordinary Democratic Mass Meeting, has such a funeral look that the eyes of the audience naturally ?11 with tears in sympathy with their surroundings. What is the matter ? "Poor old Cuba is tn a bad way finan- *, dally. The heavy burden of taxation , has weighed down the spirits of her poo- j pie, until bot little energy is left. They have neither money nor credit, and many banda have been discharged by 1 the planters because of inability to feed 1 and pay them. Revolutions will be the : order of the day until she ,gcts loose 1 from the old rotten bulk that now bas 1 political control of the Queen of the ' Antilles. The indictments against Col, Cash for complicity io the Gheraw homicide have ! been noi pro&scd, and this fact has given northern journals like the New York Sun the opportunity to indulge in a little more slander against tbe South and southern justice. What a strange perversion of morals that can induce papers publish? ed in New York City, where more crime, more morden, more assaults are committed than in the entire Southern States, to read lectures on justice to any people outside of hades. How fortunate for Mr. Blame that he wrote his letter of acceptance before the great Miners' Strike and Riot io Ohio. How sadly would that serious outbreak have jarred upon the magnificent periods sod rytbmio swell of bis pane? gyric upon the prosperity sod happiness of the laboring man-all due to Repub? lican Party. Bot now alas what a rude awakening. Thc workiog people are not prosperous and happy, and are in a very dangerous frame of mind towards their Rep?bl ica o Masters. The Colombia papers are congratu? lating themselves and the county huge? ly over the result of its nominating coo vent i oo, aod especially aro they pleased with the Representatives. The Register in speaking of them says : With soch men as Haskell, Youmans. MeMaster, Ray and Marshall in tho -Legislature, we have the positive assur? ance that every interest of Richland County will be jealously guarded aod earnestly and intelligently advocated, lt is a strong team and our delegation to the next General Assembly will coo>pare favorably with any delegation tn thc State. The Greenville iVe?;$, speaking ot the Address of the State Executive Com? mittee says it is entirely too loog for its colamos bat gires it io . condensed form as follows: "Fellow-citiiens t Blaine is an infernal scoundrel, and if fae is elected the country will be dis : graced. You most not swallow a man who sickens the New York Times. The only way to scotch and kill radi? calism in the South and to secare an honest and fair govern men t is to elect Cleveland and Hendricks. Sick 'em ! , Tarn the rascals oat ? (Signed) by a I chairman, secretary and twenty execu I ti ve committeemen." Dr. Woodrow of the Southern Pres I by terian has been pretty sharply criti i obed, because of a paper prepared and read by him some months back on evo? lution. The Doctor's views would seem ; to an ordinary reader quite harmless, and most certainly were not intended to attack the orthodox view of creation as set forth in the Bible, bat be has been charged with all manner of wick? ed things by bia critics, and the savage attacks of some of his opponents will result in material injury to the popular? ity of the Seminary ia which he is a Professor. THE STATE OAIiPAIGN. Thc State Democratic Executive Committee bas determined to open the State campaign at Pickens Court boose on the 23d instant. Two bodies of speakers will be m thc field, and the twa will corer every county. Senators Bampton1 sad Butler will join ts the campaign- and will speak as well as the candidates for State offi? cers, presMentfel electors and for other positions. The campaign will be shorter flan netta), hst will be ener? getic. Sumter's ?*f w?fl he cn the 25th October, and Governor Thompson Senators Hampton and Butler, with most of the candidates on the State ticket are expected te be in attend? ance. THE COWilTPEIMAKY.

We see in the News and Courier of the 5th instant, dispatches from Lau? rens, Spartanburg, Union, Lancaster ! md other up-country towns certifying to the good health of those places, we ire profoundly thankful tuat no such dispatches ever have to be sent from our town. Sumter is one tbe healthiest places upon the American continent; and it never varies in that particular. Epidemics of fever that disturb our up-country sisters, and the fear of which keeps them quaking in their boots*from June to November, never come near us. Malarial poisons that creep around and infest the atmosphere of less favor? ed places do not exist herc. It is true that we have no health-restoring min? eral waters, no bracing mountain air. but we can justly lay claim to a climate as healthy as can be found ; and there? fore we never need to make sporadic assertions of oor health. We are glad that thc towns in the Piedmont region are free thus far from the dread scourge of ferer which so frequently visits them, and hope that a strict obserrance of thc mles of health * on the part of their municipalities may eventually make their towns as healthy as Sumter. -~-?-'>? i^ THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSI? TION. Mr. T. E. Richardson, the chairman of the committee appointed to get up our County Cotton exhibit for the New Orleans Exposition, requests us to say, that, io reply to communications ad? dressed by him to Col Butler, oar State Commissioner of Agriculture, the latter says: "In regard to specimens of cotton wc have concluded to adopt the plan of the Charleston Cotton Exchange : that is, to collect aud exhibit samples weighing ten pounds. These will of course be prepared and put in proper 1 shape for exhibition Jf there are any parties who d?;.siic to send a bale for com? petition, of cour>c wc will be glad to get lt and ?Low it tu our department " We also desire the very .best specimens of stalks of cotton as well as the fibre, ?od in regard to the stalks, 'I would suggest that you send all that, in your opinion maybe worthy of exhibition, as thcfe will be plenty of room.' 'Thc Exposition Managers have not yet issued the list of premiums to be awarded for cotton.' Each and every one of our farmers are therefore earnestly desired to save a few of their best stalks of cotton, with the cotton-on them, so that our commit? tee will have a plenty of material from which to make their selection, and our County be 'properly represented at the New Orleans Exposition. THS 8PAKTANB?BG ROAD. This road/ (the Spartanburg and Union) was leased some years ago to the C. & Gr. road, but the lease has not been profitable to the latter and notice was given some time ago that it would be surrendered the 1st September, and much speculation has ensued as to the probable fate of the road. It is gene? rally accepted as a fact that this road can not be operated except in connec? tion with other lines, and its principal stockholders are now looking around to see into whose arms they had best jump. It seems to us that the Atlantic Coast Line might do a good thing for itself as well as for the road, by leas log rt, putting the bed in good condi? tion, aod making it a first class road. Wc, in Sumter, have almost as much interest in the Spartanburg and Union as a passenger roate. as those who live on the line, and earnestly desire to see its preseOE difficulties overcome, and if it should pass* into tfee bands of a strong corporation such us the Atlantic Coast Line we would soo? see a change for the better, in an improved road bed, better coaches, anti the uu mistakable air of thrift which always accompany prosperous enterprises. The Uuion Times in the course of an editorial last week says : While we have felt considerable anx? iety about the result of the matter, we have not been of those who feared that the traius on the road would be discon? tinued. There is too much money in? vested in the road to allow it to remain idle, and the interests of the people arc too intimately interwoven with the transportation facilities of the road to allow it to excite fear that they would be deprived of such a necessary factor in their progress and prosperity We cannot see how the stockholders of tho road can be expected to submit to a re? lease, unless a sufficient bonus accom? panies the tender of it, to insure the owners from loss in replacing machinery, rolling stock, &c, which will be neces? sary to enable the road to do the busi? ness required of it. Should an adjustment of the present difficulty be reached and the manage? ment of the road go back iuto the bauds of its owners, it will make a grand op? portunity for the people of Charleston, through the South Carolina Roai, to step in close the links between Alston and Columbia and Henderson and Ashe? ville, and make a short direct line from the seabord to the mountains. If Charleston will not take hold we are inclined to believe the Atlantic Coast Lioe will. We believe it would prove to be the best, because the cheapest, the shortest and roost profitable Hue to the North and West. Neighboring Counties. Clarendon Enterprise: Kev. L.
