Mrs. Ruth Harmon r the grand
mother of Mrs. Cleveland,, died at her
home in Jackson, Mich., on Sunday

James K. Randall, the Southern
poet who wrote the stirring war lyric,
.Maryland, My Maryland,' turns out
to have been inspired by Cupid no
less than Mars. The Philadelphia
Press says*he loved one of the beac?
hes for whom Baltimore is famous,
while ? student at the Georgetown Col?
lege, just before the war, and she
awakened the enthusiasm that made
hmr write his immortal poem a few
months later.
A new word has been coined in
France to represent a very rich Ameri?
can. It is not sufficient to call him a
'millionaire,' he is a 'milliardaire.' In
met, such is the present extravagant
European notion of the fabulous wealth j
of the American railroad kings, that
an American who is a mere 'millionaire'
has ceased- to be regarded in Paris as a
man of pecuniary importance.
Col. M. E. Mattson, chief engineer
sf tho Charleston, Cincinnati and
Chicago railroad r is in the city, says
the Columbia Record. The contract
tor building this road between Black's
and Camdon has been let to a New
York firm, and work was commenced
- above Camden Wednesday last. It is
expected that the road will be completed
from Rutherfordtos, N. C., to Camden
by the middle of October. The com?
pany have determined to locate their
machine shops at Camden.
Col. P. H. Nelson, of Camden, has
been appointed Solicitor for the Fifth
Judicial Circuit, vice Richard G. Bon?
ham deceased. The Columbia Record
says : 'Colonel P. H. Nelson is well
equipped, in character and capacity, to
discharge the duties of the responsible
office to which he has been assigned.
Admitted to the bar in 1877, he
pare ti ced h is profession steadily, and has
taken a high position as a lawyer. He has
served is the Legislature since 1884,
and was there regarded as an able, con?
servative acct effective member of the
House. We predict for Solicitor Nel?
son a career creditable and honorable
throughout.
The Philadelphia Times says : As a
means of expressing his contempt for
the-action of President Cleveland-in ap?
pointing Jas. M. Trotter Recorder for
the District of Colombia, one citizen of
that benighted city hired a colored band
to play in front of the Executive Man?
sion as he directed.. The tune selected
is said to have been one that is popular
in those circles which have opposed
both Matthews and Trotter and is en?
titled, 'There's a New Coon in Town
To-day/ Thb indignity ene corres?
pondent adds, is unparalleled in the
history of the country-for which, no
doebt, every man of decency and sense
will be glad, lt remains to be seen
how so rank an insult, not only to the
President, but to the race whose cause
he has so bravely defended, will be re?
ceived by thin ki og eolored people, and
what their action will be ia return for
the series of insults so appropriately
crowned with that disgraceful action. !
In the light of recent experience at the j
Capital the colored mao can have but i
little difficulty in judging who are and !
who are not his friends.
Few things are honest. Now and j
then the chemists, who have done so |
much to teach adulteration, reveal thc !
secrets of the charnel house. The peo- !
pie appear to be powerless to prevent
such abuses. It would require another !
world and a different jurisdiction to set- !
tie the cheats of this sphere. Mr. P.
I>. Armour, having occasion to come
to blows with a rival concern, in the
matter of lard, tells how this greese is
compounded. As about one-half the
lard product is? in excess of what the
hog-product can possibly pan out, it
stands to reason that the other half must
be fraudulent or a sham. The debata- ;
ble half is composed of tallow, cotton
seed oil and water, injected in the shape i
of steam. The best part of the lard j
thus manipulated is the cotton seed oil. I
Men who cheat, swindle and impose
on the public should try, says the Au?
gusta Chronicle to believe with Bob
Ingersoll that there is no hell. It !
would be more advisable if they became j
honest and did something to escape the !
ordeal of the Land of Darkness, whither j
they are drifting.
Engineer N. G. Heath, of the South ]
Carolina railway night passenger train j
killed his fireman, a negro named Errio ?
Hewe.'t. at Branchville about midnight I
Saturday night, March 5. lt seems
that the two became engaged in a row, j
when* Hewett picked up a stick of wood I
to strike Heath, who shot him in the !
thigh and srle Tho wounds, were. !
however, only slight. Hewett then J
went off and procured a gun. with which j
he said be would kill Heath. The lat- j
ter was informed by a friend of the ?
uegro's intention and was supplied with j
a double-barreled shut guu, loaded with j
X XX
buckshot. > Engineer Thompson | of
another train in waiting: had hardly
mounted the engine to give Seato-the
gun, when the negro waa seen making
his way to the engine with the avowed
purpose of killing Heath. Thompson
was asked by Heath what he should do,
and received the reply that he had bet?
ter shoot- at once in self-defence. The
negro neared the engine and halloed to
Heath that he intended killing him,
when Heath quickly levelled his gun
I avjcVfired, the- entrre*- leatih^^baekabet
entering the negroes body, killing-him
instantly. The coroner held aB inquest
and the jury rendered a verdict of
[justifiable homicide.
We give up much of our first-page
this week to the publication, by request,
of Mr._B. R. Tillman's letter recently
published in the News and Courier in
response, to a previous letter by Senator
L. W. Youmans, of Barnwell. It is
to be regretted that the discussion of
j,measures for the publie good cannot be^
carried on without descending to per?
sonalities, ano the making of charges
reflecting upon individuals motives. *
Mach of'the^good that w?uid Otherwise
result is lost, the masses being inclined
to accept such statements. There is no
doubt that Mr. Tilman: has injured his
cause by his personal bitterness, and
made the people shy of becoming, his
disciples. Mr. Tindall of Clarendon is j
also out in a letter replying to Mr
Youmans, as - to the action in the last
legislature upon certain bills/ As it
miay give some more light upon a sub?
ject that should interest our readers we
will publish Mr. Tindall's letter next

THE DEATH OF BEECHER.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher died
Tuesday morning 8th, instant, from
paralysis. He was in his *64th year.
He was a very remarkable man. In
some respect be.was tbe most remarka?
ble among Americans7 of the last half
century. As. preacher,. platform
speaker, lecturer and author he was a
man of rare power and productiveness.
He was not the type, of man, says the
Wilmington Star, that the South ad?
mires, but it recognized his uncommon
gifts, his eloquence, his independence,
his aggressivenessi his wonderful powers
of illustration, aod his on reliableness
as a thinker. He wielded- a great in?
fluence in the North at-one time, and
and although he lost much of it he
never ceased to be aa attractive and
imposing figure among Northern- men.
Mr. Beecher was a bitter abolitionist
and while the war lasted was the cham?
pion of :the republican party. He went
to England during the war ostensibly
for his health but in reality to deliver
speeches in favor of the Northern*cause.
After the war, though he was opposed
to the policy Of the government toward
the South, bebas been a warm advo?
cate for friendly relation between the
two sections.. A sketch of him says :
.Henry Ward -Beecher- was born at
Litchfield, Corm., on Jone-24th,-1813.
He was the fourth son of. Rev. Lyman
Beecher - and Roxana Foot Beeeher,
and brother of . Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe, the. talented author of 'Uncle
Tom's Cabin,' and other works that
have made her name famous.
* Young Beecher pursued his early
studies in the public schools of Boston,
and read classics and. graduated from
Amherst College, Massachusetts/ in
1834. He studied theology at the
Lane Seminary, near Cincinnati, under
his father. He first took the pulpit as
a Presbyterian minister at Laurence
burg, Indiana, in 1837, and two years
later he removed to Indianapolis, where
for eight years he filled a pulpit of the
same denomination.
. 'He settled down in the City of
Churches.in 1847, and his anchor never
slipped from Plymouth Church,'

COMPTROLLER TEENHOLM
HE DENIES A REPORT-HE NEVER SAID OR
THOUGHT WHAT GEN. SHERMAN IS AL?
LEGED TO HAVE PROCLAIMED.
Having copied several comments upon
Col. Trenholm's reported congratula?
tions to Gen. Sherman, we are glad to
be able to give an authoritative denial
to the charge, as follows :
OFFICE OF THE ~)
COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY, r
WASHINGTON, March 3, 1887. j
Editor A vguata Ch ron ide :
The enclosed clipping credited to your
paper refers to me in a connection which
impels me to ask voa to publish this
reply :
I believe Gen. Sherman, on the oc?
casion referred to, did quote a Southern
man to the effect that the 'march to the
sea' was a good thing, because it ended
the war and restored the Union, but be
certainly did not attribute the remark
to me, nor had ? the least idea that it
was so understood by any on* present.
It seems absolutely supeifluous to add
that, of course, ? never uttered any
such sentiment as you quoted, nor can
I euiertaiu any such feeling.
Respectfully,
W h'. TRENHOLM,
What the Augusta Chronicle has to
say :
In a communication published else?
where Hon. W. L Trenholm denies
that he expressed to Gen. Sherman or
anybody else any gladness for the
march to the sea.
Comptroller Trenholm never enter?
tained a thought in common with what
Gen Sherman declared.
We are giad to hear this
Gen. Sherman may have been at his
old game of prevarication. Ile hits the
floor.
It is super?uous to say that thc j
Chronicle published what was reported
of Mr. Trenholm in sorrow, and that
the denial is given gladly.
Is Gen. Sherman still maintaining
Gen. Wade Hampton's opinion of him ?
Hampton once remarked that 'Sher?
man was the biffgist liar in an army
that contained John Pope ' j
Tho Akin Accorder, commenting j
upon the above says i
'It seems to us that it would be in
order for tho Au&asta Chronicle to
give its authority for the report which
it published. Upon thc authority of
the Chronicle the matter has been ex?
tensively circulated and commented on,
and it is due to thc public as weil as i
Mr. vTreaBbluF that ,t.be~* Chronicle
Bbould produce ifcs authority.'
Tq which the Chronicle replies :
'We saw it in the?/circumstantial
report of the^hicagV^-i^^?e; There
is co question at all of Gen. Sherman's
speech being extensively produced at
the North before the Chronicle saw or
alluded to. it. There is no trouble
about giving the authority.*
Ali of which should be taken as
another lesson to Southern papers to be
slow in copying from questiona'ole
sources, slanderous statements against
prominent Southern men.
O, W?; GOOD CHRISTIANS
'?WE ARE !
At the weekly meeting of the Con?
gregational ministers of Chicago on last
Monday morning the Rev. E. F. Wil?
liams moved that a telegram of sympa?
thy and condolence be sent to Mrs.
Beecher. It is stated that in an instant
after- the motion was ma?3e ,a half
dozen members were on their feet with
loud protests against :sucb a step being
taken.. The motion was'the subject of
a bitter debate, and when it was seen,
that no good could result from the an?
gry and hot tempered discussion the
charrman called for 'yeas' ind 'nays.'
A count of the .Vote showed that the
majority of. the ministers were opposed j
to any public expression of sympathy
for Mr. Beecher. The: ground of the
opposition, was the Plymouth pastor's
alleged heterodox views regarding
future salvation. 0, how very unkind ?
Doubtless Mr. Beecher had fiults,
many of them, perhaps He was but
human; but he bad virtues also. And
now that his eyes are set in death, and
his family is stricken low in grief, a
message of condolence to them from
these over-righteous Pbarisean minis?
ters of Chicago would ouly haye been
an act of Christian kindness. /'Merely
this and nothing more.** -

The Work of the Forty-Ninth Con?

N. Y. Herald March 5.
The Congress which came- -to an end
yesterday at noon . did , an uncpuLOJon
imount of good . and-necessary work,
ind, aided by the President's vetoes,
lid little or no real harm. In its two
fears' existence it is guiltless of a single
ob. That scandalous piece of sham
philanthropy, the Blair Education bill ;
.he Pauper Pension biU, the bill crea?
king a Department of Agriculture, the
[lennepin Canal job and a number of
smaller jobbing bills all broke down.
Unlike the notorious Keifer Congress,
ibis Congress had no scandals to blush
for. It was clean banded.
Its S?DS are sins of omission. It did
not reform the currency muddle nor the
tariff; it remitted nothing of the sur?
plus taxes ? it refused money for fortifi
?ations and guns ; it passed no bank?
ruptcy law ; it failed to legislate to
:arry into effect the Mexican comirer
;ial treaty ; through corporation influ?
ences in thc Senate several land forfeit
are bills aud thc bill repealing the
Pre-emption, Timber Culture and
Desert Lands laws were defeated ; the
Oklahoma bill, tho constitutional amend?
ment to change the time of the meeting
"?f Congress and several other impor?
tant measures failed.
On the other hand, wc take from the
repot of our Washington correspondent
thc following list of important acts, lt

idency.
2. Regulating the counting of elec?
toral vote-?.

public domain about fifty million acres I
of land.
5. Prohibiting the ownership of land j

20. Giving nioncy^rfor GoDgresj

Many of these laws are of very
public importance, and the work o
Cleveland Congress compares ad
bly with that of any Congress
dozen years past. The Congress
?dvHth General -Garfield did act
.nothing of public, useful ness. "Its
ipublic acts were the creation of a
less tariff commission, some chi
in the tariff which have been a tn
to our home manufacturers ever s
and an anti polygamy lav; which pi
a complete failure. . But that Cong

Speaker,- was. wasteful of the p
money, given to various kinds of

with the President placed them ?

FIFTY YEARS !

. WASHINGTON, March 7, 1887 -T
fiftieth birthday, or semi-centennial,
the Democratic President, and the cn
President of the United States who
name has begun with a C. which stan
for one hundred, is approaching, for
will fall on March 18, the - very ne
day after St. Patrick's Day,-of ever jo
ful memory. So Queen Victoria is u
having the-,jubilee business all to hersel
for thisjs a jubilee - year for Preside!
Cleveland also-, who is our centeonii
President, since at the close of his fin
term as Chief. Magistrate our preset
form of government will have been i
operation one hundred years.
The Congress of the Confederatior
decreed in September, 1788, that tl
new form of government should go inl
operation on. the first Wednesday i
Marchi which, in 1789, fell on the 4t
cf the month. Mr. J. Randolph Tuckei
chairman rof the-Judiciary Committee i
the-two.last Congresses, has said tba
he thinks that the first Wednesday c
March-was chosen because the first da;
of that month that year fell on Sunday
as it did, by the way, the year of Cleve
land's -inauguration. The form o
government under the Continental Con
gress having, begun on March 1, 1781
that being. thc date of the completioi
of the. articles of confederation be
tween ,the States, as Mr. Tuckei
said he found from the journal
of thc Continental Congress. Mr
Tucker thinks it was deemed best t<
continue.jt for the full eight years, anc
so let those .elected to serve under ii
complete their last full year of service.
Besides Cleveland only three others
of our Presidents have attained thc age
of fifty years while holding the highest
office in our land-James K. Polk cele?
brated his semi-centennial the first year
of his term, in 1845 ; Franklin Pierce
who. having been born November 23,
1804, and inaugurated March 5, 1853,
celebrated thc fiftieth anniversary of his
birth after he had been President near?
ly two years, and Grant, who was born
April 27, 1822, and was fifty years old
when he was in the last year of his first
term as President.
GRANT A3 A DEMOCRAT.
It is claimed that each of the four
who have had a semi-centennial birth?
day in thc Executive Mansion was a
democrat-Polk, Pierce Grant and
Cleveland, because the only vote Gene?
ral Grant ever cast before he was elect?
ed President, and he used to tell ihe
story was for Buchanan and Brecken?
ridge in 1S?6. That vote he said was
also illegal because uot cast at General
Grant's place of actual residence at that
time. He was then living in Missouri,
not very far from St.. Louis, and hud
been on a visit to that city on election
day in November, 1850. When on
his way horne he paused in Carondelet,
and when asked by a friend if he had
voted he said he had not, because he
had been away from home all day, but
would vote if he reached the polls uear
est his residence in time. 'But you
have not timo.' urged thc friend to
whom he was speaking, 'so you had
better vote here,' and Mr. Grant fol?
lowed his advice and there cast his vote
for the democratic nominees for Presi?
dent and Vice 1'residcnt
Mrs. Grant's father Mr. Dent, who
died at an advanced agc in thc White
House, in 187o. was a democrat to his
latest hour, and wheo, in thc autumn
of that year, only about, a month before
his death, certain of thc Northwestern
States which'had before been considered j
republican strongholds went demo- j
eratic in local elections, Mr. Dent, then i
cen fined to his bcd. rejoiced aloud as !
his son, General Dent, read him the S
newspapers, and asked, eagerly :-'Is !
it really true that ali them States have
gone democratic V
Had Garfield lived he would have
celebrated his ?ftieth birthday while
President, for he would have been fifty j
years old on November 1?J, ISSI. j
Cleveland isj therefore, except Grant?
the youngest , man ever inaugurated
President" of the United States.
A LUCKY ?KKSIDENT.
Cleveland, by the way, bas had a
special era to give him cause for rejoic?
ing in each of the past five years, for
in November, 1882 he was elected
Governor of New York and inaugu?
rated iu that ofijee in January, 18S3.
lu 1SS4 he was elected on November
4 the President of the'United States;
on-March. 4, 1885, he was mangm-ated
in that office, and on June 2, 1886, he
was married to a most charming young
lady, whose choice by him for 'the first
lady in our land' has been universally
commended, and now, cn March 18,
1887, he. will with that lady, celebrate
his jubilee birthday ia the Executive
Mansion. -
While the President will be fifty on
the 18th, it is worthy of note that his
wife will not be twenty-three years old
until July, and his mbther-iu-law, Mrs.
Folsom, is said to be only forty-four
years old.
John Adams churlishly wrote of
Jefferson, when giving the points of
difference between the latter as a Pres?
ident and himself, that while he held
leeves once or twice a week 'Jeffer-,
son's whole eight years was a levee'*
and that while he 'dined a large com?
pany once or twice a week- Jefferson
dined a dozen every day.* The Jeffer-.

Miss Van Zandt and Her Lover.
CHICAGO, March 8 -Pale and thin
but defiant, Miss Yan Zandt picked her
way across the courtyard of the county j
jail shortly after .9 A. M. to-day and
presented an order for admittance to
visit August Spies. The order was
signed by Sheriff Matson, aud, although
the usual hour for visiting is 10 o'clock,
a special privilege was accorded her.
She was stylishly dressed in a drab hat,
light. English walking jacket, stout
shoes, and a heavy dark veil. She was
not permitted to go beyond the cage
where visitors couverse, through the
netting and iron bars, with the pris
3ners.
She and August Spies stood with
Lbeir finger tips together and chatted
in a low voice antil 10 o'clock, when
"ither visitors being expected she hur?
ried away. She was unattended, and
entered thc jail yard from thc alley and
not in the regular manner, through the
Criminal Court building.
After she left Spies looked pleased
and in better spirits though the nearest
he came to his proxy bride was to touch
finger tips with her through the wire
screen. Miss Van Zandt will be per?
mitted to see him twice a week bere?

Victory for Drummers.
The power of a State or municipality
to tax 'drummers' from other States has
igain been denied by the United States
Supreme Court. In this opinion the
Court goes further in restricting or
denying the power than it bas ever
gone^before. .It has hitherto declared
unconstitutional laws imposing a tax
Dr license on non resident travelling
salesman on the ground that such legis?
lation was an unjust discrimination
against the citizens of other States.
The Tennessee law now set-aside was
in force in but one district, but it was
applicable to drummers coming, into
that district from other parts of Ten?
nessee as well as from other States,
ind for this reason three of the eight
justices dissent from the opinion of the
Court.
