The Ordinance of the Town of Sum? ter, to ReguHte Licenses and1 Special Taxes ts published ia this paper and is worthy of careful reading. A scrutiny of tbe figures trill convey the impres? sion that our Cooacrl ts composed of mea who TJOHOVO ia "Proteettou," and that the Ordiaance is framed as mach for that object as it ?3 for '.Revenue." If protection is the object, and if it meets tho views of oar citizens, that a dealer in second-hand clothing mast pay ?20 per month ; that itinerant | salesmen, and venders of dry goods, groceries, &c, must pay $100 per week ; that itiaerant auctioneers, drum? mers, brokers and dealers of aH kinds except books and stationery are taxed to prohibition, it looks strange to those io the lines of business left unprotected, that local dealers in books and pirated stationery are outlawed, and that oar town b open as a pasture green for any and all- competition, and that oar own job printing ofice. cannot get a two dollar job without being forced to com? pete with the world at large. Let down the bars wide., gentlemen, or shut them ap fair and square. We are promised some good advertisements by Charles? ton family grocers, if their travelling salesmen arc allowed to come tn the ] town and take orders. SICKLY SENTIMENT. Some of our contemporaries are re? printing with editorial endorsement, an anonymous clipping auder the cap? tion . 'Ruined Girls," whose teachings if pat ia practice would destroy the foundations of society. The strong bul? wark-the bed rock-of our civilization is female purity, and any teaching cal- j cala ted to lessen its value ia pablie es? teem is a backward step. There mest be no mixing or confounding of the laws of moral rectitude, and the mercy ] and forgiveness that goes with Christ? ian charity. While not abating or withholding the God-like character of the latter in any degree, let the violator of our moral code be held to strict ac? countability under all circumstances. To forgive is one thing, to exoase is another. A straighted morai as well ss political code is iwhat we must preach and practice. THE EUTAWVILLE R. H. li Presideat R. C. Barkley and Gen? eral Manager, ?. W. Fowler passed through Sumter on yesterday morning on thoir way to Pan ola. We saw them for a few minutes, and learned that work is progressing as fast as practicable upon the bridge and trestle, across the Sauiee. They now have one of the most powerful pile drivers io the State at work there, and 11 Mr. Fowler says that the road will be built on to Sautter is a short time after the crossing is made at the river. The old State causeway will be used for the road bed through the swamp, and Mr. ] Fowler says that there will be only about 1J miles of trestle needed for his road. The S. C. R R. has about 5 miles through the Congarec swamp, above, and the S. E. R. R. has about 7 miles of trcsde through the Santee j swamp, lower dowe, so it appears that j the Enta w vi He road will have a great J advantage ia this respect. Tho country j through which the road will pass from the river to the town of Sumter is very j favorably situated, and Messrs. Barkley j and Fowler speak very confidently of j their road being completed a* an carly j .day. GRANTING DIVORCES. Granting divorces has become a j wholesale and outrageous business ia ! Atlanta and Chicago. Chicago had I ?ighty-three applications for divorce a j few days ago, and Atlanta had twenty-1 one ia one dav. What a showing for i morality ! and what a commentary upon i Christianity ! These ?gure6 arc cer- j t i tainly startling and arc enough to j alarm those who have a regard for the I 1 sacredness of the marriage relation and ihe tender influences that home in its true sense exert upon mankind. The tendesey of the is tn favor j of granting divorces and unless it is i checked ic time the very foundation of j thc social fabric, wiil become rotten, j Such a drift of public sentiment ou j such a .-?ucs'ion is a direct How at the j safety and well-being of the community | where it takes place. The grantiog ot 'Hvorcos militates ; against the divine law ?.>f marriaee, aud i ellis doe?rin? shouid be promulgated I ? and preached ia every Church in this j i .country. The breaking of the marriage i ? tie is a growing evil and a stigma upou j1 our civilization an J christianity, and ! - the attitude of thc Churches toward it j , - II should bc severe in the extreme. I ? A DIGNIFIED LATTER. President Cleveland's dignified and outspoken fetter to Mayor Francis, of j} St- Louis txpiuintiig his reasons why he ? 3 cannot acceptr the invitation to thc Grand Kncarnpment of the G. A. E. at St. Louis in September is timely and altogether justified by the circum? stances, ilis review of the invitation, his verbal acceptance of it and his later declination should command thc un? bounded admiration of both Democrats and Republicans, and their unstinted praise of the course he has pursued in this matter. The President does not regard the insult of the demagogues like Tuttle and others whose sole object is to keep alive war issues and perpetuate section? al discord as oeered to him personally, but to the people ; and -bis declination under the circumstances - places the Grand Army in a position in which it is called upon either to approve or repudi? ate the iosult given by the various mern? -hers of its organisation. This letter is the severest rebuke that . cOttW have boen given to those dema? gogues who clamored against the Presi? dent's presera at St. Lours, and it should command the thoughtful con? sid?ration of every patriotic and self respecting member of the Grand Army. PEABODY SCHOLARSHIPS. A competitive examination for the award of eve Peabody Scholorships will be held in tho oi?ee of the Superintend? ent of Education at Columbia on Thurs? day, August ll. Applicants must be at-least 17 years old and present certi? ficates of irreproachable character. Fur? ther information can be obtained from the School Commissioner, or by writing to the Superintendent of Education. Why do Northern capitalists put their money in Southern cotton mills ? Evidently because they believe the investment to be a good one. If they ? can make money by such investments how much more can the people make who own the property in and around the place where the mills are located ! IFrom our Regular Correspondent.j WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3, 1S37 I am aware that an array of flgures is generally considered rather dry read? ing, but as June 30th, the end of the fiscal year, is very important in Gov? ernment matters, perhaps I could not do better in the cutset of this letter than to give your readers a brief statement ? of the condition of Federal finances : Total receipts for the last fiscal year, $371,380,893 against ?336,439,727 ?he previous year ; the disbursements for thc same period were, pensions and interest on National debt included, ?268,510,190 against $242.483,138 the preceding year-the surplus being j ?102,864,703 against $93,956,589 the year before. With the exception of the Sscal year ending June 30th, 1882,.the custom receipts are more than for any year in the history of the country. \ Last year's receipts are mach larger I that were anticipated by either Secre- ? tary Fairchild or Mr. Randall. In the month of June there was an increase of $2,264,840 in the circula? tion, and a decrease of $3.157,931 in the cash of the Treasury. The increase in circulation was chiefly in United States notes and their certiflcates and the decrease in the Treasury cash was principally in gold and silver certif? ;ates, United States notes and National sank notes. During the ?scal year just ended :here was, in thc appropriations for fuel, ights and water and the contingent ex? penses of public buildings under the treasury Department, au unexpended balance of ?300,000 which sum has been turned inio the Treasury. This >hows that our Democratic Administra? tion is mindful of its pledges of reform ?nd economy. The Pension Office beat its best record for work last year, and that too with thc increased budness of the burean iucident to the pensioning sf the Mexican veterans, without any additional increase of clerical force, a fact of which the Pension officials are naturally very proud, as it puts them so far ahead of any showing made by the Republicans in the office. The people cf Washington are al? ready beginning to discuss anil look forward with much interest, to the meet? ing of the great international Medical Congress at this place ia September i next. From a professional stand point, it premises to be a splendid success, whatever .nay be ?he result financially and socially. Congress only appro? priated $10,000 of the ?50,000 asked for, and ii is expected that thc enter- ' prising citizens of the Capital, together ! with the professional pride of American j physicians, will uuite their efforts in I supplementing the shortcomings of i Congress in the matter of ?nance. Thc diabolical spirit of anarchism, ! which hus prevailed in other cities of the United State?, has at last infected a j faction of tho Knights of Labor of i Washington, and ihe stars and stripes have been wiid'y. though secretly, de- j nounced and the Government condemn- ! ed to sheol nlmost lesea! h the shadow j of the Capitol's dome.

ST. LOUIS, July 7.-Mayor Fran? has received the following letter frc President Cleveland, declining to vii St. Louis, and giving his reasons thei for : EXECUTIVE MANSION, ") WASHINGTON, July 4th, 1887. j To Bon. David R. Francis, May and Chairman: Mr DEAR SIR: When I received tl extremely cordial and gratifying im talion from the citicens of St. Loni tendered by a number of her represei tative men, to visit that city durit the National Encampment of the G rai Army of the Republic, I had been co templating for some time the accep ance of an invitation from that organ zation to the same effect, and have coi sidered thc pleasure it would afford n if it should be possible to meet not on the members of the G?-ac<d^rtuy of t! Republic, but the' people ot St. Lou and other cities ia tho West, which o casion would give me thc opportunit to visit. The exactions of my pub! duties, felt to bc so uncertain, howeve that when first confronted by the del? gation of which you were the head, expected to do more that time tba promise consideration of the double it vitation tendered mo and express . tb pleasure it would give me to accept tl same thereafter if possible. Bat th cordiality and sincerity of your preset tation, reinforced by the heartiness < the good people who surrounded you, s impressed me that I could not resist th feeling which prompted me to assur you on the spot, that ? would be wit you and the Grand Army of the Repu'c lie at the designated time, if nothia happened to absolutely prevent m leaving Washington. Immediately upon the public an nouncement of this conclusion, expre? sions emanating from certain importan members of the Grand Army of th Republic, and increasing in volume an' virulence, constrained me to review m; acceptance of these invitations. Th expressions referred to go to the exten of declaring that I would be au uuwel como guest at tho time and place of th National Eecampment. This s tatemen is based, as well as I can judge, upoi certain oficial acts of mine involving important public interests, done unde the restraints and obligations of mj oath of office which do not appear to ac cord with the wishes of seme memberi of the Grand Army of the Republic. 1 refuse to believe that this organiza tion, founded upon patriotic ideas, com posed very largely of men entitled t< lasting honor and consideration, anc whose crowning glory it should be tba they are American citizens, as well ai veteran soldiers, deems it a part of its mission to compass any object cr pur? pose by attempting to intimidate thc Executive or coerce those charged witt making and executing the laws ; anc vet the expressions to which I have re? ferred indicate sach a prevalence of un friendly feeling and such a menace tc an occasion which should be harmo? nious, peaceful and cordial, that the; :annot be ignored. I beg you to understand that I am not conscious of any act of minc which should make me fear to meet the Grand Army of the Republic or any other as? semblage of my fellow citizens. An ac? count of my official stewardship is al? ways ready fer presentation to my coun? trymen, and I should not be frank if I failed to confess, while disclaiming ali resentment, that I have been hurt by on worthy and wanton attacks upon me growing out of this matter, and the reckless manner in which my actions 2nd motives have been misrepresented, both publicly and privately, for which, however, the Grand Army of the Re? public as a body is by no means res? ponsible. The threats of personal violence and barm, in case I undertook the trip in question, which scores of misguided, [inbalanced men, under the stimulation of excited feeling, have made, arc not sven considered. Rather than aban Ion my visit to tho West and disap? point your citizens, I might, if I alone were concerned, submit to thc insult to which it is quite openly asserted I would bc helplessly subjected, if pres? ent at the Encampment, but ? should bear with me these people's highest Cf?Tioe, the dignity of which I must pro? tect, and I believe that neither the Grand Army cf the Republic, as an or? ganization nor anything like a majority of its members, would ever encourage any scandalous attack upon me. If however, among the membership of : Lib body there are, some, as certainly seems to be the case, determined to denounce mc and my official acts at the National Encampment, I believe they should bo permitted to do so unrestrain? ed hy my presence as the guest of their organization, or as much of thc hospita? ble city in which their meeting is held. A number of Grand Anny Posts Lave decided, tu remain away from the En? campment in case ? vi-sis the city al that time. Without considering the merit of r-ueh excuse, i feel that I ought not to be the cause of such non aitendance The time und place of the Encampment were fixed ions before my in vi tat io os were received. Those desir? ing fo participate in it? proceedings should a??t be permitted to interfere with their i lit-.Mit ion. Another consideration, of more iin? ji-:; tunee ?aau :.l? othore. remains to bc no i iced.. Thc fact was referred to by yon when you verbally presented thc invitation of citizens of i>t. Louis, that thc coming encampment of the Grand Army of ??:e Republic would be held in.a Southern State. I suppose this ; fact '.vas mentioned as a pleading ir.di ?n of the fraternal feeling so f:tst Ejaining ground throughout the entire j [and and hailed by every patriotic ci ti- ! zen asan earnest that the Union bas j really and iu fact been saved, in sm?- : [noni and spirit, with ali the beneQts it ; vouchsafes tc? a united people. I cannot j 'id myself of ?he belief thal the lc-:ist j liscord on this propitious occasion j night retard the progress of thc senti- j neut of a e?uiiiiou broil;.M hood whicn he Grind Army of thc Republic has j .o <:'?o? au opportunity to increase and ! ! foster. I certainly ought not tc be the cause of just discord in any event or I upon any pretest. J It seems to mc that you and thc citi? zens of St. Louis are entitled to thia unreserved statement of the conditions which have constrained mc to forego j?my contemplated visit. I withdraw my acceptance of your invitation. My presence in your city at the time you have can be of but little moment com? pared with thc importance of a cordial and harmonious entertainment of your guests. I assure you that I abandon my plan without the least personal feeling, ex? cept regret, constrained thereto by a sense of duty, actuated by a desire to save any embarrassment to thc people of St. Louis or their expected guests ; and with a heart full of grateful appre? ciation of the sincere and unaffected kindness of your citizens, hoping the en? campment may be the occasion of muoh usefulness., and that its procedings may illustrate the highest patriotism of American citizenship, I am yours, very sincerely, GROVER CLEVELAND. WASHINGTON, June 7.-President Cleveland, in reply? to the invitation from the G. A. H. to visit St. Louis, says: * * * More recently, indications have been disclosed, that however cor . rectly you express the prevailing senti? ment in the Grand Army, there are members and some posts of that body . entertaining different feelings in respect to my attendance, and that my accept? ance of your invitation would lead to dis? cord in the organization as well as an interruption of the cordiality at the com? ing encampment. Without entering into discussion of tb cse opinions and unmoved by any feeling, although I deeply re? gret the condition, I can but regard it my duty to refrain from contributing by my action to so desirable a result. Nothing can be of greater importance in connection with thc encampment than a free and unrestrained manifesta? tion by its participants of that patriotic fraternity of feeling suggested by the selection of thc place of holding it, and which is at once a proof of complete success of their arms and highest glory of our veteran soldiers. I ara con? strained, therefore, to withhold my purposed acceptance of your invitation. In doing so, 1 assure you of my un? feigned hopo and sincere wish, that in the agreeable entertainment prepared for them by the hospitable people of St. Louis, the veterans of the Grand Army may enjoy the most pleasant, I profitable and useful reunion in their history, Very truly yours, GROVER CLEVELAND. WASHINGTON, D C., July 7 -Gen. Lander Post. No. 5 of the G. A. R. of Lynn, Mass., which arrived here last night from Virginia, called on the President at 6 o'clock this evening, preceded by the Post drum corps and were received in the east room. The members marched into thc room in double file, headed by David Walker, p^st commander. When the President ? came down stairs to receive them Wal? ker stepped forward and said, 'Com? rades of Gen. Lander Post No. 5, I propose three cheers for Grover Cleve? land, President of the United States. The veterans gave three cheers and a tiger with a vigor and earnestness that made the air ring. As its ecoh died away the President with a smile ad? dressed the visitors as follows : 'I can only say to you, gentlemen, that I am glad to meet you here. I have extend? ed to you this courtesy as I have lately with much pleasure to other posts of the G. A. R., on their way home from visits to their Southern friends. I want you to 'understand that I have lost no confidence in the Grand Army of thc Republic, notwithstanding recent occurrences to which it ?6 not necessary to further allude. It is incomprehensi? ble to me that men who have risked their lives to save the government should return home to abate one job or little of thc respect and support which every good citizen owes to the govern? ment and constituted authorities. I greet you, then, as citizens as well as veterans, and I shall be pleased to take you all by the hands." Roe's Great Earthquake Story.
