P. Morosini, an Italian emigran as a body guard and confidential sc vant. Morosini was both shrewd ai faithful, and Mr. Gould advanced I material interests io many ways, final making him his private Secretary ai taking him as a partner in a firm brokers; and now Morosini is qui wealthy, and puts on much style. T\ weeks ago his eldest daughter-he h three-eloped with her father's coac man and was married to him, and t! whole family are in hysterics 'pro trated to the earth with the sham of a mesalliance, and if the blue blo< of all the Plantagcnets coursed th rou f the veins of this Italian ex-boot-bla< and his up-start family they could n have raised a more hideous outcry th; is now heard because the daughter ma ried a man, who, twenty years a< would have been superior in posith 1 and money to this Italian. The present campaign has been r ' markable throughout, and in nothin I more than in the obliteration of o party ties. We in the South, menace I by negro rule are compelled to stic I together, but in the North and Nortl I to west, voters are wonderfully mixci I At the great meeting in Brooklyn, a( dressed by Senator Bayard last weel half of the prominent men present hai i been strong Republicans but now ai earnestly working for Clevelanc When the Beast delivered his speec in New York last week the crow was made up to a great extent of ei Democrats ; and so it goes. After th election the formation of new parties wi beciu in earnest. Between the whisky men and th temperance men in the North Wes1 the Republicans have a hard tim? The Democrats love whiskey, we ar sorry to say, and are not at all ashame to say so, and hence the beer an whiskey drinkers arc following th Democratic flag. The Republican love whiskey too but they lie abou it, and the Prohibitionists know the; are lying and therefore they will giv their support to St. John, ali of whicl is discouraging to the g. o p. Wha a delicious fraud it is anyway. Thc Emperor Francis Joseph of Aus tria and William of Germany have jus made a fraternal visit to the Empcroi of all the Russias who was sojourning for that purpose at his palace at Skier niwice m Poland ; and while theil majesties were hob-nobbing together, thousands of troops were scattered ovei the town and adjacent country, guard? ing every road and house and seeing that every door and window was kept sigoroasly shut so as to bai?e the terri? ble nihilists. Such visits may bc very pleasant to their Kingships, but as for os we would rather be in jail. THE PB ES?DENCY? We have just read a lengthy editorial letter written to the News and Courier from New York, in which the present condition of the political campaign is fully set forth. Mr. Dawson's opportunities for a systematic survey of the entire field are all that could be desired, and the d diberately expressed opinion of that gentleman should carry great weight. The following is a summary of his con? clusions : The electoral vote of the South will be cast solid for Cleveland. West Vir? ginia and Florida are the only States where any doubt ever existed, and re? cent developments insure Democratic succeed in those two States. New York where the political field is more complicated than in any other State, will in all probability give Cleveland a majority as high as 50,000. New Jersey and Connecticut, with but fe? exceptions, alway? have follow? ed New York's lead ; and those three States with the Southern vote will give 204 electoral votes, which is three more than a majority. Indiana with her 15 votes will go for Cleveland Ile will get sis votes in Michigan, will carry California, with a fair chance in Iowa and Illinois, and a strong hope of Ohio We believe thc editor of tho Neus and Courier is correct in predicting an overwhelming victory for Cleveland uext. November. - m ? --BU SMALLS RENOMINATED. Last Tuesday the Republicans of this Congressional District met at Sum? merville to renominate the Beaufort Statesman. Sammie Green of Beaufort was elect? ed permanent chairman and Gooree Heriot, from the same pla^c was made secretary. There was a little fight over the representation from Sumter Two full delegations, one led by T B. Johnston and the other by M. F. Hew? son, each desired the privilege of voting for Smnlls. The Johnston crowd won the day because, wc suppose, their op? ponents were a sort-of legacy of .Sam Lee, the great, bolter of two years ago, whose memory is a stench in the nos? trils of loyal Republicans. When their little tussle ov^r the Sumter DcWation wns seHtlcd, John M. Tindal of Sumter astonished himself as well as his sable compatriots by an eloquent and eulogize nomination of Robert Smalls. There is no doubt j but that Mr. Tindall has a warm ad mi ration for tho Congressman from this j District, for incase of Blaine's election, I Smalls expects to have a "say-so" in thc distribution of S. C. offices and ; the gentleman from Privateer has both i i eyes fixed squarely upon the Post Omeo, j that is, when they are not fixed in ad - j miring wonder upon brother Smalls, j At any rate he male an eloquent ! speech-so they say-and Smalls was j unanimously Dominated. I Smalls had it all his own way nod he doubtless feels as if the cares of the en? tire govcrnrueut were upon his oily shoulders. Well, we had as soon it should be Smalls as any other Rad. He hasn't sense enough to do us much harm. After that matter was settled, Sammy Green was re-elected District Chairman and George Murrav of Rafton Creek was elected Congressional County Chair? man for Sumter. We notice that all tho new County Chairmen are colored, which means, we suppose that the Republican party in the 7th District belongs to, and will be run by, colored men. The Mason Cylinder Gin. We are glad this gin is such an assured success. Outside of the fact that the energy and inventive talents of Mr. Mason deserve a rich harvest of reward, we need the gin. The men who have lost fingers, hands and fre? quently arms in thc cotton region from the murderous gin would make an army, and instead of experience bring? ing caution, the opposite seems to be thc effect. With tbis newgin, all such accidents would be impossible, and we believe that in a few years it will be in almost uuiversai use. The News and Courier of late date gives thc following account of the organization of thc Cotton Gin Com? pany : The vast superiority of the Mason Cylinder Cotton Gin over the ordiuary saw-gin, having been satisfactorily established by careful and repeated tests, a meeting of gcutlmen interested iu tho patents covering thc invention was held yesterday at the office of j Messrs. Brawley & Darn well, Broad j street. A company was organized I under the titie of '.The Mason Colton j Gin Cylinder Company.** end the j following directors wore chosen; Mess's. | C. T. Mason. Jr.. of Sumter; John j R. London and .W. L. R;ddey, of Rock Hill; J K. Blackman, James S. Murdoch, F W. Dawson and B. II. Riordan of Charleston. Subsequent? ly Mr. B. R. Riordan was chosen presi- I dent of thc company, and Mr. J. K. Blackman secretary and treasurer. A contract has been made with I Messrs. Pratt k Whitney, of Hartford Cona., for the construction of a machine j specially designed for the tapio manu- i facture by automatic action, of the : perforated metallic plates which arc to ? form the working surface of the cylin? ders. This machine is expected to be j ready in a few weeks. Meantime the company will proceed to establish, in every county of the cotton belt, agencies having the exclusive privilege of placing the Mason cylinders in tdd gins, the saws and ribs of which are worn out or damaged. Thc agents will not have the right to manufacture the cyliuders, but they will bc the only source through which thc planters of their respectivo ? counties can g^t cylinders for uso in : old gins. The agents will purchase j their cylinders either from the com- j pany direct or from any of the gin j manufacturers licensed by the campany j to make the gins upon a royalty. The j prices at which county agencies will be ? sold are to be based upon the average | aunual yield of cotton in each county, j The gin manufacturers licensed by the company will, of course, have tho right j to sell now gius in any markets. The j company will make every effort to place ! the cylinder gin on thc market with as i little delay as possible, and they are j confident that long before the close of; the cotton season thc Mason Cylinder ? Cotton Gin will bc found in every ? section of tho Cotton Belt Patents I for the cylinder gin have been applied ! for in every foreign country where j cotton is grown or cotton machinery j made, and experienced ginncrs predict j that the cylinder will every where super- ; sede tho use of the dangerous and j unsatisfactory saw gins withiu the next year or two. "Cotton picking is pretty well ad- ! vanccd. and yet. no'hing encouraging j is heard from Mr. Mason's machine, j Cuffy will be king of the cotton patch ! for at least ono more year."-Lexington j Dispatch. If friend Harman has a cotton patch j ready for picking he had better put j cuffee in as early as possible, for thc ! Cotton Harvester is not ready yet. It ! is a big machine and will require a deal j of experimenting to perfect it. ' Many ? persons have beeu under a wrong itu- { pression that the Cotton Harvester j would be upon the market the piesent j season. Wc will state authoritatively, j for the satisfaction of all such that only j experimental machines have boen made, j and it has not boen the intoution of Mr. ! Mason or the Company that any of j them would be sent out unaccompauicd ; by an expert. Work is goiug on stead- j ily upou thom, and thc machines are \ bu?og tested almost daily iu thc field j and wc had the pleasure of seeing one j at work a few days ago. ? mm? i ?i i? ?I tm I ll Mm- I un i Hi Neighboring Counties. Florence Times: In forty-eight hours last week, thc rain fell to tho depth of ?.-Jl inches in Florence, j -On Friday night last a thief j attempted to enter tho residence of Mr. W. R. Barringer by a window, j when tho noise awakened Mr. B , j and he fired four shots after thc j would-be burglar, who fled. -Thc ! splendid appearance that the Florence ! Riflemen made at thc inspection on j Thursday last, their military address I and thorough skill in tho drill, ought to ! make the company an object of admira? tion and pride to thc Florentines. The inspection, ot? account of the inclement weather, took place j?t Bnrringcr's j Hall. Owing to indisposition on thc part of some members, thc company ' did not have out its full quota, yet there j were thirty uniformed members. The great improvement in this company j over last year is marked, and was at- j tested by Gen. Maoigault in his j remarks. The General made a speech ? of some length to thc company, which ! was in its nature ! goly complimentary, j Clarendon Enterprise : Thc meeting i at thc Methodist ('burch is still j progressing. The services ?re well at- j tended notwithstanding tho busy i season. -We learn that a colored citizen from Manning was heavily tined i in Sumter last week for carrying a concealed weapon. At last accounts be was unable to pay the fine, and was getting free lodging from the town. -While the Charleston train was passing Wire's Mill last Monday evening, some mischievous person threw a piece of watermelon rind through one of the windows into the first-claps coach. No damage was done, but several gentlemen barely escaped being struck by thc rind. Kerg?taw Gazette: Thc receipts of cotton in this market contiuue to in? crease daily. Since our last quotation, prices have declined a quarter of a cent ; the best grades now bringing only 9g cents. Tho outlook on the market is gloomy.-We under? stand that a bear was recently seen near Tiller's Bridge ou Lynches River, and also an alligator seen in the open woods between a stream called Beaver Dam and Lynches Bivcr. -A mule belonging to Mr. L. M. Boswell died last Monday, at the advanced age of thirty four years. His muleship went through the late mitunderstandiug tn the cavalry service, and since the war has been a faithful wagon propeller. Camden Journal: We have just j received a communication from Rev. M. K Broaddus announcing his re? turn to America, and also informing j us that he will preach to his congrega? tion in the Baptist Church in Camden on nest Sunday morning and evening, the 21st iust., Providence permitting. -On last Tuesday at 1 o'clock Ad- i jutant-and-Inspcctor General Manigault j held the annual inspection of the military in Kershaw county. The Kershaw Guards aud the Kershaw Troop were the only two companies I that presented themselves for inspection j The Guards had a good turnout, and presented a handsome appearance. They drilled well, and were compli? mented by the General. The Troop had a pretty fair turnout of fine looking i men, but their drilling was not as good j as it might have been. They wore red ! shirts as uniforms, haviog adopted no j other uniform yet. -During the i terrible downpour of rain on last | Thursday night, two washouts occurred ! on the Camden Branch of the S. C R. R.-one just above the crossing on the W. C. & A. R. ll., aud the other just below it. The volume of water was too great to be takcu off by the culverts, j and it rose to the top of the embank- j ments and cut ?bern iu two. In the ! gully below the crossing the water must have been forty feet deep. It j washed out a very large gap in the i embankment, cutting it clear to the j bottom, carrying the timbers and iron j down among the trees below. There ; was no communication with either Charleston or Columbia until Sunday, j aud the train from Camden did not reach Ringville until Tuesday, a trans? fer train having met our train at the break. S. Thomas, Jr. & Bro. - On our late visit to Charleston we had the j pleas a re of being shown through the beauti? ful and varied stock of jewelry of Messrs. S. J Thomas, Jr. & Bro., well kuowu jewelers on j King Street, and a finer display we have ; never seen. Handsome double case gold ? watches wonh from $150 to $250, from j the celebrated factory of Patek, Phillipe & Co., of Geneva.

Both of these j clocks were made by Mr. Sommer in Charles- 1 ton. Then we visited the work shop in thc j rear un.1er the management of Mr. John | Erichsen where ne saw the forge, the rolling mill, thc lathe for turning and polishing up jewelry.
