From accounts -we have of Mr. Blaine's -proceedings ?n England he is cot by any means carrying out tho ob ject w?kfh ?t -was believed .be bad ?a view when &e ?tarted -on his journey, ft was supposed that his special object was to tackle the British lion in his falci wxth a stern determination to twist his tail before the eyes of the royalty and nobility of aa effete monarchy. His devoted fo?owers and -admirers expect ed that *by this time that emblematic beast. would be howling with helpless vage, and shame Under the twisting ope ration. Bat instead of that he hasn't -even-said boo to the lion, but is bash ing in the sunshine of royalty and hob nobbing with the nobility. He has -ffven so far forgotten bis Irish support ers as to be the guest of absentee land lords who are evicting their Irish ten ants, -and hie legs are under the dining tables of the ministers who are putting the coercion bill through. How is this change of feeling in the Maine -statesman^ since he struck the soil of old England, to be accounted for, and. what are the influences that have Hiduced him to cut such a swath in the circles of the nobility? Why was j it that he so soon forgot the tail twist ing business for which he set out, and allowed 4r?mse?f to be in-veigiod into the inner circles of royalty,' end, one English corres-poodent puts it, *?ooks. forward almost with exultation to the fcturc progress of his visit V There is some mystery about this matter, that cannot be easily solved by those who bel?ev?d that the tattooed chiefs espe cial purpose in going across the water was to champion the Irish cause and to encourage those who are upholding home rale. The movement may have been well intended at Srst, hat there is danger of its taming out as disastrously as the Burchard nasco.. UTAH'S MOVEMENT FOB AD MISSION. . The Mormons are anxious to have their territory admitted into the Uniou as ?. State, but tbey know that the ob- j ject of their desire in that respect eaa not be accomplished as long as pelygamy exists as one ct their institutions. They are, therefore, aow holding a constitu tional convention which is engaged in framing organic laws for the -new State which wir! prohibit polygamous prac tices and put an end forever to a con dition of affairs which has for years sep arated the people of that territory from the -Christian com mani ties sf otfeer sec tions. There is a suspicion ia some qrfarters that the Mormons, are not. acting ia good faith in this matter. The -articie ia their proposed ?oeetttet?oa prohibiting ?olygivy is said to be as sleeping as woraus -eau m?fee it. As it is fcar?ly possible that so radical a change on this subject has taken -piace in Mormon sen timent, it is suspected that it is a deep laid scheme oa the T>art of the 'Saints* to get into the Union under the cover of j a constitutional enactment prohibiting j J their peculiar and obaosious custom, f1 and then after Their admission to ro-es- j j tablish it as a State right. :-j ; There is nothing ia the Federal con- ! I .... ! ' stitution prohibiting polygamy, congres- j< sional jurisdiction over the subject ex- ! \ tend?as only to tbf; Territories and the ! I District of Columbia. It is ea^Iy acca ? ; how, when cace a State, Utah could so j ? change her constitution as to restore the j iniquity she abolished merely to secure ] : her admission. The power of the gen- ? -erat government over the matter would be at an end. The only W3y the Mormons can re aove the very natural suspicion that they are cot in earnest in their proposed j abolition of polygamy, ?3 by making a j provision iu their constitution that the j prohibitory clause shai: oc-v-er be Kable ; ( to amcadmcat or repeal. If such a safe- j ] guard against; its re-establishment j 1 shouli be provided there could be no '. ' reason why Utah should not be admitted | ' on the same footing as that of any other j ( Territory.

The explanation given bekjw, of the connection of the Governor of Pennsyl vania with the reported conspiracy to assassinate President Davis during the war, is good evidence that, there was foundation for "the charge, although it may be true, as claimed, that the plan was not carried out : The northern newspapers print what they say arc the facts regarding the re lease of a criminal from the Pennsyl vania State prison to have him assassi nate Jefferson Davis in 1861 of which Mr. Davis spoke in a recently publish ed letter. They say letters were re ceived by Gov. Curtin and the United States Marshal Mill ward, signed by P. II. Wolser, assistant secretary of war, stating that one Archibald Crosse, a famous forger then confined in the Pennsylvania prison, was needed by the government for important secret service, to be sent through the lines with a tele graph operator. The letters were ac cepted as genuine, but they were dis covered to be forgeries after Crosse's pardon had been signed bat before he had been released. ? The story got out aad many southern sympathizers be lieved Crosse had been sent South to kiil Mr. Davis. Death of Dr. H. W. liavenel. - 4 ? . h Iienry William Ravenel, L. L.

We have no boom here but that of gradual and substantial prosperity amongst our people, which is far more stable. The nearing future growth of Sumter is more than good. It is now certain that the three (Ts will connect here., and the JSutawville and Augusta branch of Atlantic CoastLine is an assured fact. Our beautiful town will then he the centre of attraction, not only for the immense business that we will then he able to control from the rich belt country which will be opened to us by the facilities that our railroad j connections offer, but the additional in ducements we can hold out as a sumaeer resort, which are equal, if not superiori to any1 place i? our State; Having traveled much through this and adjoin-1 -ing States in the South, I must candidly say that the town, of Samtor, S. C, surpasses in the beauty of itsaven-ue. and streets, for each .street is an avenue \ of immense . oaks?its dwellings, gar dens and her general surrouudings., than any town I have visited. The eye and taste is at onoe attracted by the beauty and art displayed by one and al! in the general appearance of the dwel lings, stores, flow?r .gardens and entire surroundings. No place in Sumter looks neglected; every where has a fresh and well to. do look, even to the dwellings of the most h urn We. The climate is bracing and delightful The corn and cotton crops are so prom ising up to this date, that I have actu ally heard seme say that they have never known them to be better.

WAsaiXGTOK, O.C., July 13, 18S7 The President and Mrs. Cleveland, are spending the week in New York State, attending the Clinton Centen oial and visiting his sister and brother, ear the home of his youth, where his mind will revert to fhe halcyon days of] childhood when his brightest dreams J aid not contemplate the Presidency of | the United States as a possibility of his j wonderful career. ?

Although \ Chief claimed that he was more inned against than sinning in this res ect, he was admonished that such LCpublican practices would not be pcr ?it?ed utider a Democratic Administra , and was allowed to go in peace.

The question of forming a.new coun ty out of a portion of the lower part of Chestcr5eld and pertiens of Darlington, Kershaw and Suinter is be-isg agitated again by som o of our contemporaries, chie?y the Bi-shopvilic Enterprise, and we arc not at all surprised at its course, for it could not do otherwise and have the good of BishopviUo at heart, and we arc satis?ed that our friends have their eyes open to every measure look ing to the advancement of their little but flourishing town, and so far as we are personally concerned we are will ing for them to make the new- county with Bishopville as the county site, but we think that everyone in the territory proposed to be cut off should . under stand exactly what will fee the conse quences to them. They sbsuld be thoroughly acquainted with the fact that a full set of county ofucers, will cost them not less than ?5,000 annual ly, besides the cost of running their courts and various other incidental ex penses. As we have already said we are willing if the people In the lower section of this county who have to travel twenty miles to get to their county site go into it understandingly, and we take this occasion to say to them that they had better express themselves upon this question one way or another. If they desire to go into this new county let them get together in a public meet ing and say so, if not let them ex press themselves so that their Repre sentatives at Columbia next fall will know what they desire when the ques tion arises, as it surely will in the Leg islature next December. This matter wiTl be agitated by parties who have more to gain than the saving of the traveling of twenty miles to their coun ty site, and parties who have a common interest in this matter should see to it that the wish of the people is carried out if possible. So far as the territory that Chesterfield would loose it would amount to but little; as the poorest lands in the county would, perhaps, be in that territory, but we have friends j in that portion of the county that we j would be" loth to givo up, but if they I think, after mature deliberation, that it would bo best for them to be cut off in the proposed new county, we say bye bye with as much grace as any man. ?1?- m Ca ?i A Solid Fact Well Put. The name and tho good-will of the Abbeville Messenger have been sold to the iVess and Banner, of the same town, and the nublicaiion of the former saper has been discontinued. The Messenger was a good paper, and, as the Columbia Record says, "its suspension s due simply to the fact that Abbeville :ounty cannot support three good papers it the county seat. To run a good pa per requires money?money that must ? jome from subscribers and advertisers, j ?robab!y the field, as to both these jtasses, was well occupied by the Me. Hum and the Press and Banner, and here was no room for the third paper. Probably every pitase of sentiment in Abbeville eould 2nd expression in one )f these well-established papers, and the Messenger was therefore without con tituency. That ?aHir.g, the paper fall id Of course we -infer the fact of fall ire from suspension.
