P Bs To have a place in the picture at the military encampment to be held at Greenville next month is the height of ^ . everybody's ambition just about now. It will be a most gorgeous affair and the most extensive preparations are now fceing. mad? to make it one of the "grandest and most, memorable events that bas ever taken place in the annals of the history of the Old Palmetto Stale. . : ? H The. Sumter Light Iofauty are suppl? ing up for the occasion and eighteen of ', ?he best drSied men are in hopes of bold lug their own when the time comes for , tho' competitive drill between tue dif? ferent eompabies during encampment vt eek. Sta r: ? Nearly all, if not all, of the com? panies that compose Col. D. J. Auld's regiment will be at the encampment, and our affahle-and popular colonel will bs one of the grand moguls of the oc? casion and will occupy a big place fm the picture.' THE CITADEL COMMENCE? MENT. The opening exercises of the Citadel Commencement will begin next Sunday moraing with tee Baccalaureate sermon by the Be v. C. C. Picekney, I) D., at G?ace Church. The review of the corps of Cadets, ard declamation by members of third and fourth classes on Monday, dress parade pf the corps of Cadets and anniversary exercises of the literary societies on Tuesday, com? mencement day exercises, address to the graduating class by Rev. S. B. Jones, D.D., and commencement ad? dress by Hon. ^^rfjj^Dibble oa Wednesday, is di?%r?gral?me for com? mencement week. ; , . The Academy ts doing good work tn the advancement of education, and is unquestionably contributing her share towarrd laying the foundation for tbe futere success and glory of South Caro? lina. If 'Farmer. Tillman' and others who are bitterly opposed to the mainte? nance of the Citadel would only attend the commencement exercises of the same next week, they would surely nave ample opportunity to change their opinion as to the character of training to be had at this institution and that it was something more than a "Dude Fac? tory*' pare and simple. TO LET. Nobody wants to go to the Legisla? ture from Sumter County this time, jj Tue honors of this c:?ee are now TO LET- The time was when there was I quite a scramble for the position, but j an immense change bas come over 'Our young hopefuls and old ones too,' and the office .actually going begging. The country Democracy used to furn? ish some excellent men for the Legis- j l?ture. It used tc stand 3 to 1. The j delegation was composed of three from the country and one from the town, but j somehow or other there is a chance of j sentiments on this poi at of ratio rep- I resentati?n now. If this tendency keeps on growing stronger with the j people, the town of Suaver will be com- ! pellet: to press into service all four that j will compose the Sumter delegation 1 hereafter, which resell; we will mest j deeply deplore. THE^^?BLIC?N~f?CK:ET. j Harrison and Moiton are tho men the i republicans have pitted against Cleve- ! land and Thcrman. They are honor- ? able men, and consequently there will j be nothing personal in the national \ canvass on cither side, it wiil bo a i question of principies entirely for the j people to decide when they cone to cast j their ballots for President and Vice ; President ia November nest. The ; position of thc two parties is clearly and ; plainly defined on the question of t&xa- j lion, and thc fight will be made on that j line, and thc country will know exactty j how the people stand cn this great issue j then. Harrison is a protectionist to the ? backbone and is thoroughly in accord j with the spirit of his party, asd it: this ) respect, if in nothing else, he is a man ! after their own heart. Ditto for Mr. j Morton, their candidate for Vice-Prest- ? dent. _! A COLORED MAN'S OPINION. The most intelligent colored man ; that ever lived in Sumter County was ; T. McCants Stewart. He is now prac- ; ticing law in New York city. A rep- j resentativc of the Herald interviewed j him the other day on the subject of thc j political tendency of his race; j 'Most decidedly to. No class nf the j voting population of this great country ? is mere interested in our national prog- ; res? than the co.ored men.* Such was the reply of ?Jr. T. ?ie- j Cants Stewart, a prominent colored j lawyer of this city and a recognized j leader among his race, when asked if j the ?olored voters were prepared to take ! an active part in the approaching Pres- j idential canvass. ] *?Iow do they stand between the j Democratic and Republican parties?' j was thc nest question. *The majority of the colored people j throughout the United States are unde? niably Republican." replied Mr. Stew? art, 'and when I say that I have in mind that the bulk of the colored popu latiou lies in toe South. In the North- \ eru-or perhaps I ought to say the ! i??bUTjy ?ud Western-States the col- ? ored vote is certainly and uumistaki divided. The largest part will g the Southern States with the Repu can party, principally through h and former associations. A part of colored vote in i he Eastern and W ern States will go to the Prohib? ticket, but a very large part wil found in" the ranks of the Democr party on account of the very excel effect upon the colored men of the * and liberal administration and polio President Cleveland. 'Mr Cleveland has certainly aoc< plished one thing. He has emai pated the colored man, politically spe ing. His administration has beer political emancipation, as Presid Lincoln's proclamation was a phys emancipation.' . 'So you say, deliberately, that colored men ia the Easteru and W< ern States are leaving the Republi; party for the Democratic party Y *I do. This movement ha3 been servable among our people during past lour years, and it- is clear and i mistakable, as the result will show dae time. We arc being forgotten a ignored by the one and find oursel respected and welcomed by the other Ex-Judge Cothran goes back to C< gresa without opposition. This is 1 best proof o? the high esteem in whi he is held by an appreciative oonstii ency. Judge Cothran is a big-brain broad-guage statesman, and an upri<? Christian gentleman, and the impn of bis moral character will have wholesome iufiuence in Congress. These red hot days are playing t mischief with things generally, "i sorts of advice is being offered for t comfort of suffering humanity. Chur going people are scratching their hea and thinking of tbe best plans to ke i cool. Yes, to keep cool. How to it is the question. Send your remedi j on the first train and deliver them ? O. D. The atmosphere is sizzling h j and the heating process has taken < 'an extra head of steam and delay in th ? matter is dangerous. The suggestii to 'take off your flesh and sit in yo; bones' will hardly do for the reast , that some of us have little fiesh at less bones and consequently the; would be nothing left of us if that a< ; vice were acted upon. Congressmen Tillman of the Seeon and Dargan of- the Sixth Di trict, have the biggest sort of oj position io their respective district: and the glorious uncertainties of politic now appear ghost-like in their night] dreams, and before dog days are OV? some of the candidates for Congression; honors in these districts will be gent! laid away to res:. Both of the congres: men nam id are able men, and have dec their constituents good .service, an their experience puts them in positio to do more than any new men will like ly be able to do for some time. Th remark of an exchange as to one c these gentlemen will app]y to other that the principal objection to him i that some one else wants his place. WP-ian-mea THE REPUBLICAN CONVEN TION. Harrison and Morton the Can dictates. The National Republican Conven? tion wbich met in Chicago on the 19th. unished its work on last Monday the 25th by nominating General Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, the grandson ol the ninth President of the United States* as candidate for President, and Jjevi P. Morton of Xew York for Vice Presi? dent. The Convention was organized with M. M. Estee of .n..ofcrnia Permanent Chairman. Three ballots were taken OD Friday, without reeult in which Sher? man led, with Gresham, Alger, Harri? son, Depew, Allison, Biaine and others following. On the fourth and fifth bal? lots taken Saturday Sherman wa3 still in the lead, with Harrison close at his heels. The convention then adjourned till .Monday. ? On the eighth baiiot Harrison receiv? ed thc aosiia&tion fur President, and on the next ballot Morton was nomina tcd for Vice President The proceedings of the Convention during the six days' SG?=ion, were en? livened with numerous scenes, and in the committee rooms and at the hotels several fisticuffs are reported to have taken place. Tue disorder in the Con? vention wa.s compared to a cyclone by a member who was trying to make him? self heard, and the Convention alto? gether is put down as a disgraceful a ?iair, TUE I'L.VXFOKM The platform, which was una??i;::ous iy adopted, hails Lincoln as the cham? pion ct Hber'y, and recajU ?nc names of Grau1".

Arthur, Loga.? ano C?nkiiug as those winch should be cherished : pays tribute to Sheridan ; rejoices and sends greeting to the peo? ple of j>raz:l upon thc abolition of slav? ery; re-a?5rms devotion to the cos MI-? tUT I'iii. ; Tlc entire platform would occupy ; more than two ?o!?im<i? of our papa-j and we therefore give only a sketch o? i it. It declares ir. to bc the sovereign j right of eve? ? lawful citizen, rich or ; poor, native or foreign bo.:;, v*Le OJ .; black, io cast a free ballot in ???? pub!.*" election and to have thar ballot du:j .

We are uncompromisingly in favor I of the American system of protection. | We protest against its destruction as proposed by the president and his par ty. They serve the interests of Eu- ? rope . we will support the interests of I America. Wo accept thc* isbuc an i 1 confidently appeal to the people for their judgment. The protective system must be maintained. Its abandona?ent has always been followed by grave disaster to ail interests except those of the usurer and sheriff. We denounce the Mills bill as destructive to general busi? ness, labor and farming interests of the country, and we heartily endorse the consistent and patriotic action of Re? publican representatives in Congress io opposition to its passage. The gratitude of the nation to the defenders of the Union cannot be i measured by laws. Legislation of Con? gress should conform to the pledge ! made by a loyal people, and be so en? larged and extended as to provide I against the possibility, that any man who honorably wore thc Federal uniform, shall become an inmate of an almshouse or dependent upon private charity. In I the presence of an overflowing treasury it would be a public scandal to do le6s i for those whose valorous services pre? served tho Government. We denounce the hostile spirit shown by President j Cleveland in bis numerous vetoes of the measures for pension relief, and the action of the Democratic Representa? tives in refusing even a consideration of general pension legislation. In support of the principles here? with enumerated, we invite the co-op? eration of the patriotic men of all par? ties, and especially of all working men whose prosperity is seriously threatened by the free trade policy of the present Administration. Blaine's friends worked hard for him, and it is claimed by them that bis nomi? nation had been arranged for, and that he would have received on Monday 600 votes, but two telegrams from him de? manding that his letters on the subject be respected, demoralized his supporters who thereupon concentrated upon Har? rison. BENJAMIN HARRISON. Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, who has been selected as the Presidential candidate of the Republican party, is of historic lineage. His great-grandfather, of the same Christian name as himself, was a member of the Continental Con? gress from Virginia, and was one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde? pendence, twice a member of Congress, and three times a Governor of Vir? ginia. President Harrison, eminent soldier and statesman, was his grand? father. Benjamin Harrison was bora in Ham? ilton County, Ohio, August 20, 1833. He * was graduated from the Oxford, Ohio University, and studied law for two years in Cincinnati. Ia 1854 he went to Indiauaoolis, where he has since resided. Mr. Harrison wa3 elected reporter of the Supreme* Court of Indiana in 1860, six years-after he bad begun the prac? tice cf his profession. Soon after this, I however, he joined the Union army, in j which he was commissioned a 2d lieu- j tenant. He was one of the 75,000 j volunteers who answerd President j Lincoln's call. After a short service he j organised Company A, of the 70th Jn- j diana volunteer infantry, and was ap- j pointed Colonel. He was mustered out j in June, 1885, with the rank~of briga- ! dier general. Returning to civil life he j discharged the duties of Court reporter ? for four years. In lo'?? he was a cac- I didate for Governor on the Republican side, but was defeated. Ho was ap? pointed on the Mississippi River com? mission in 1870. Mr. Iiarriscn was ! elected United States Senator for India- ! na in 1880, as the successor of Joseph j E. McDonald, and took his seat on ? March 4, 1881. His tenn of service j expired March 3, 1887. . I LEVI P. MORTON. j Levi P. Morton, who was nominated by thc Republicans at Chicago for Vice I President, is a native of New York. \ He served one term in Congress and j was tendered thc naval secretaryship in j Garfield'.^ Cabinet, but, on the advice [ of Conkling, declined. Subsequently he accented thc French mission and ! made a record as a go-id ainuer-giver while abroad. M orton was born iu Vermont and started in life as a shoe? maker. The shin?r?e that called the outside world's attention his shop is j still in existence and the property of aj Vermont Democrat. When Morton achieved vrealth and a seat in Congress he made a liberal bid for the shingle in order to destroy the evidence of his ? early poverty and humble station, hut I its possessor refused to give it up. He i is now the head of the great Wall street bauking Grut of Morton, ?5iiss & Co. It was Morton who contributed the bale of 'nice crisp %'2 bills' that Steve Dorsey and Chauncey Filley used to carry In? diana for the Republicans iu 1880. (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON LETTES. VTAS?iscTC?, D. C., Jaae 22, 1883. Mr. Cleveland has already written his letter of acceptance, ll will probably be made public next week, lt is said to be a strong document.

Washington ia time to make a speech i at thc r?ui?cati?u meeting Tuesday ' night. On Tuesday last Secretary Bayard sent to* the House of Representatives a letter from Count Arco, the German miuister to the United States, in which the count states that he duly transmit? ted to his. Government the resolution of the Ho'uee of the 15th. inst , ex? pressing sympathy with the German Nation on account of the death of Em? peror Frederick. The resolution was, he says laid before Emperor William, who was deeply moved thereby, and instructed him (Count Arco) to thank the House of Representatives through thc Goveroment of the United States for their manifestations of regard. The wrangling of the Republicans at Chicago is greately enjoyed by the Democrats here Congressman Timothy Campbell* of New York made a bet with ex-Con I gressman Page, of California, of $5, 000 that Cleveland and Thurman would carry New York. Since that was pub? lished every mail brought huodreds of letters from New York Democrats ask? ing if they can get any more bets like j that one. So far Mr. Page is the only man found who is willing to contribute ?5-000 to help keep up the drooping spirits of his party. The House has done a good week's work on the regular appropriation bills, and there now seems to be a probability that all of them will be passed by the end of the current fiscal year, June 30th. indeed, these measures have been pushed along so vigorously not? withstanding the absence of so many Republican members who are at Chi? cago, that the remark has been made that 'Congress can work better and ac? complish more without a quorum than with it.' More 'pairs' are in existence this week in both the Senate and House than we:e ever on record at one time before.- The Chicago Convention, is the cause of it. General Sheridan's condition has con? tinued about the same for the past week. There is no' decided improvement, but there has been no return of heart fail? ure, which fer a time occurred at inter? vals of every three days, and conse? quently the distinguished patient and his family are hopeful. Commissioner Wright, of the Labor bureau has submitted estimates aggre? gating $153,540 for the expenses of. the new Department of Labor for the next ?scal year, of which $S4,740 are for salaries. It is thought that Mr. Wright will be put in charge of the new De? partment. At last a statue of Ben. Franklin is to be erected io this city. MU- -?o- CAut^ - The Presbyters and Deacons of the Reformed Episcopal church, of this State, have issued a public invitation to the congregation of St. Mark's, the colored Episcopal church, denied re? presentation in the Diocesan convection, to join the reformed church. The in? vitation will probably be declioed. Chief of Police Graham, of Colombia, raided a keno game in 'the Cottage.' a well known resort of that city, at mid? night of Friday. Of thirty men pres? ent eleven were captured, the others going cut through the windows. Mat terson, the proprietor, and H. E. Pol? lock and S. F. Black, the dealers, were Sod $40 and the eight outsiders ?10 each yesterday morning.-Record 25th. Greenville, Tiiliamsburg Co. GEEELYVIJ.LE, S. C., June i9, 1833. 3/r. Editor : This place is a station on the Central R. R. of S. C., eight railes North? west from its junction with the North Eastern R. R. at Lanes. It is in the portion of Wil? liamsburg County once n part of Prince Fred? erick's Purifh, three miles East of the St. Marks Parish or Clarendon County line.

There J is no Church in the place, though three of the ? leading denominations have Churches near by for white?, and perhaps as many for coi- j oreo persons. If, however, each phase-of j religious belief and form of Church polity represented here and hereabouts had a Church there would be ten instead of five or six The health of the people of the country ad? jacent will compare favorably with other and more elevated - regions in the State. There are good farming lands on the Santec and tributaries of Black River, the products from which are shipped from this point, and Sum? ter might weil keep an eye to it as a feodor to her growing business.
