V The grave of the poet Percival is

Mrs. Swisshelm has invented a
new undergarment for women.
When she puts it on she is covered
from the wrists to the neck and an

But, she says, she will never consent
io call it a “chemiloon.” That name
suggests horrible sounds near lonely
lakes. She proposes that it shall be
named a “chem,” or, if that is too
a “chemlin.” Those who have
seen it wonder how she gets in ; but
she does this easily.
A writer deserves the respectful
sympathy of all gentlemen who give

awful annoying to have some other
fellow’s clothes left in one’s room by

wear it. Although it was ruffled
, around the bottom, the sleeves were
i too short to button cuffs on, and

quate compensation, and no more.
He is right. The compensation of
public officers who receive fees is, as
n rule, enormously disproportionate
Ito the services performed. The fee
l system should be abolished as far as
possible, and reasonable salaries sub
stituted.

The proposition to nominate John
T. Green in opposition to Chamber
lain for Governor of South Carolina
Is received with favor by many of
both races in that State. At a meet
ing of the voters of Sumter county,
composed of whites and blacks, State
Senator Dunn a Republican, declared
that the time had arrived to break
away from party fealty and cooperate
for the election of an honest man.
Resolutions recommending Green to
the Independent Convention which
aneets next week were unanimously
adopted.
Elsewhere we publish the proceed
ings of the executive committee of the
7th District, which met at this place
on the thirtieth of September. The
purpose of the call was to take some
measures which might harmonize
the party, and unify its distracted
elements, by bringing out someone
man as a candidate for Congress for
whom all the party might cheerfully
vote. The proposition, it will be ob
vious was not in the interest of any
one man, but in the interest of the
party, its object being to prevail up
on Dr. Felton to consent to withdraw
from the canvass upon the declared
intention also to withdrawCol.Tram
mell, and so to have the parfy at lib
erty to select some other man upon
whom all could unite. Could this
proposition have been accepted, the
whole District and party at large
throughout the State, would have
been gratified, and all the difficulties
which environ us would at once have
been composed. We had but little
hope that it would be accepted and
were not in the least disappointed at
the reply which was made to this
friendly and pacificatory measure. Dr.
Felton through his friends,peremtori
ly declines its acceptance,and the par
ty is, therefore,left to labor under the
same discord, to which it has been
exposed ever since the nomination
held at Calhoun. We regret it, sin
cerely regret it, as but little hope re
mains of anything, but a fierce con
test between brethren of the same
political household, and the probable
final destruction of the Democratic
party in this District.
The proposition was no confession
of weakness as is sometimes said,but
originated from a hearty desire to put
an end to fraternal strife, and save the
party from all the evils which must
necessarily grow out of its divisions.
Dr. Felton having therefore, deter
mined on his course, and resolutely
insisting upon the present disorgani
zation of the Party,in order to secure
his own election, nothing is now left
to the Party, but with equal resolu
tion to go forward in the canvass, de
termined to do the best to defeat this
effort for its overthrow, and to elect
Col. Trammell on the 4th of Novem
ber. This opportunity which was
presented of reconciling matters, has
been lost, and we must now resort to a
strong and vigorous array of all the
Democratic forces in behalf of the
nominee. It was in the power of Dr.
Felton to have quashed all our diffi
culties. The proposition was fair and
just, and, although strictly speaking,
the Committee may have had no
right to consider him at all, yet for-
asmuch as their strong desire to rec
oncile all the difficulties which beset
the party, prompted the application,
they therefore made it. It is now ap
parent to the whole District that the
desire for personal advancement on
his part, is stronger far than any at
tachment to the unity of the party
and the success of its principles. Col.
Trammeifl was willing to decline the
contest for the interest of the party,
and retire from the contest. Dr.Fel
ton hoots at the idea of any reconcil
iation. The cry is, “down with Tram
mell,’’and yet when the offer is made
to withdraw him from the contest, a
flat refusal is made, in order that the
contest may proceed for his own
benefit. It is observable throughout
this whole contest that the effort
made has not been so much in favor
of electing Felton, as to defeat Tram
mell. It is not love for the first, but
hostility and war against the last.
The battle cry is not “hurrah for Fel
ton,” but “down with Trammell”
and on all hands, you hear the sup
porters of Felton declare unhesitat
ingly that had any other of a large
number of gentlemen, who might be
named, have been placed before
them, they would have voted for him
with the utmost pleasure. And now
that the proposition is made to effect
this very end, promptly is it refused,
and we are in substance told that the
very man who is so objectionable
must be kept in the field, and the
Doctor be left to cry out, upon the
hustings. “People to the front and
work for me.” We ask them in all
candor, will not the people see and
understand that in this whole matter
every effort at party conciliation has
been thwarted. Dr. Felton utterly
refuses to do anything towards a rec
oncilement of difficulties, and the
party by his action is left to run the
gauntlet of a hazardous fight, when
had he consulted its prosperity and
harmony more than his personal
profit, peace would have reigned in
all borders,and Trammell would have
been out of the way, and some man
acceptable to the whole party would
have been before the people.
We say again that we regret this
state of things, and the more so, be
cause of the probable future damage
which may resu It from it.
“WHO WILL BE ELECTED TO CON
GKESS ?
The contest for Congress is ani
mated, and yet we are glad to see
that it is divested of all bitterness
among thesupporters of the two rival
candidates. This is as it should be,
and we hope, will so continue to the
end. But how goes the fight, and
who will be elected? Being about as
much of a prophet as “Uncle Tom
my” was in the fight between Bob
Durham and Bill Stallings in Long
street’s Georgia Scenes and Incidents,
we can give about as reliable an an
swer as did that remarkable decider
of contests in the good old county of
Morgan, when in the olden time the
boys met in the ring and in an hon
est fisty-cuff, knock down and drag
out sort of a way settled their per
sonal difficulties, “Sammysaid
the old man, “watch Robert Dur
ham close in the beginning of the
fight; take care of William Stallings
in the middle of it; and see who has
the wind at the end”—and so say we,
just look on and wait and “see.” If
the friends of Dr.Felton have reliable
information they are certain of his
election by a large majority; if, on
the other hand, the reports favorable
to Tiammell are to be depended upon,
then the Doctor will have to throw
up the sponge. You can hear almost
just what you please from some man
or other that came the other day
from this place, or that, and who
says so and so, and knows all about
; it, and is willing to bet on it, Ac.,Ac.,
but after all, the contest remains in
doubt. The party is largely divided,
hopelessly so, as between the candi
dates, and calculations made, reveal
but a very small difference in the fin
al result. If they are correct, and we
have no means of determining
whether they are positively so or not,
but allowing them to be so, then we
are placed just precisely in this posi
tion :
If a Radical runs and can concen
trate upon himself the vote of his
party, he is elected Bbyond the shad
ow of a doubt.
If there is no Radical candidate,
then the Radical voters have it in
their power to dictate who shall go to
Congress.
If they vote for Felton, he will be
elected, if they go for Trammell then
Trammell will take his seat in Con
gress. How they will go, no one can
tell, but one thing ascertain, they can
and will determine the whole matter.
LOYALTYTO BE ENFORCED BY THE
BAYONET.
We whipped those rebels, we par
doned them, traitors though they
were; but now they \re practicing
the same tactics that they were in
1861. We made “treason odious” at
the point of the bayonet, and I think
it is high time that we should com
pel loyalty again by the same means.
—Ch icago Inter- Ocean,
Yes, says the Mobile Regis'er, you
made treason very odious. You
gave Longstreet a Custom-house,
You invite Mosby to the White
House. You enable Moses to steal.
You will pat any rebel on the back
that joins your party, and will tell
lies by the bushel upon those who
have opinions of their own. You
had better cease your vapor about
the bayonet. Your people are not
ready to lose another million of men
and roll up another debt of two bill
ions in order to keep a few thieves
in office at the South.
Moses, of South Carolina is acting
vigorously in support of Chamber
lain. All subordinate officials, white
or colored, who support the indepen
dent movement are being turned
out. Bowen, the bigamist Sheriff of
Charleston county, is one of the Gov
ernor’s most pliable and useful tools.
He has removed six trial justices, all
of them colored men, w r ho support
Green for Governor. In place of one
of them it was reported that he would
appoint, or had appointed, a negro
named Win, A. Hord, who was in
dicted several years ago for burglary
and larceny, and escaped conviction
through a flaw in the indictment.
Hord was pardoned out of prison by
Moses but a few weeks ago, having
been sentenced for assault and batte
ry. This is his only knowledge of
law and of the courts. But in the
Grant-ridden States of the South
elevation from the front of the
bench to the top of it is easy and
frequent.
The attempt to assassinate Presi
dent Pardo of Peru carries out the
prediction made by a New York Sun
correspondent about two years ago,
when Pardo had just taken the chair
of his murdered predecessor, Balta.
Pardo has endeavored to establish
civil government in a republic accus
tomed to the rule of millitary dicta
tors. He has been successful to some
extent in restoring the credit of Peru,
and has put down with firm but mild
determination several attempts at
revolt. One result of his reforms is
that a large number of soldiers are
out of employment, and, unaccustom
ed to labor, are shafing for revolution
and change. At length Pardo’s own
life has been assailed and he has nar
rowly escaped death. That he will
be permitted to go on much longer
with his novel experiment of a gov
ernment of civilians in a nation of
guerrillas is at least improbable.
American Savings Banks.
The savings banks of this country
contain deposits of $1,000,000,000,
mainly the surplus earnings of me
chanics and laboring men. Of this
amount,over 163,000,000 are deposited
in the savings banks of Massachu
setts, $100,000,000 in the rest of New
England, and nearly $300,000,000 in
New York. The deposits in New
York State savings banks increased
from $64,000,000 in 1862 to $267,000,-
000 in 1872. In New York city the
corresponding figures were $45,000,000
and $161,000,000, and in Brooklyn
$7,000,000 and $39,000,000. In Massa
chusetts the deposits were, in 1862,
$10,000,000; in 1872, $163,000,000.
Since the year 1863 the deposits in
Connecticut savings banks have in
creased from $20,000,000 to $62,000,000,
and in New Hampshire, since 1862,
from $5,000,000 to $24,700,000. In
Rhode Island the corresponding
amounts were $9,000,000 and $36,-
000,000.
Probably the most wonderful piece
of mechanism of the age has recently
been finished by an Amsterdam jew
eller named Sellroeder. It is called
the “Great Mechanical City,” and is
twenty feet long; and fifteen feet wide.
There are houses, castles, churches,
and stores in it, just as they appear in
almost any European city. People
walk and ride about. Horses and
wagons aud railway cars pass through
the streets. Boats pass up and down
the river, while some are load
ing and others unloading at the
docks. Mills are in motion. A foun
tain plays in the public park, and a
band of musicians fills the air with
melody. There are also forts with
soldiers parading about them, black
smith shops with artizans at work in
them, and pleasure gardens with peo
ple dancing in them. Other scenes
go to make this a wonderful structure
indeed.
Farming in California. A
farm in California consisting of 20,-
500 acr’s has just been let for five
years at an annual rental of SIO,OOO.
The farm is stocked with 1,000 head
of cattle, 100 horses, 50 mules and 1,-
500 hogs costing the lessee,with crops,
the sum of $74,250. Heavy farming
that. But out there they have sheep
ranges of 100,COO acres, with flocks
numbering from 60,000 to 100,000
head, while there are farmers who
boast of wheat crops amounting to
50,000 and 120,000 bushels. Cattle
raising, once a prominent interest is
going down. The vineyard and dairy
interests are continually growing,
both being conducted on the very ex
tensive scale which appears to charac
terize the farming operations in that
region. The receipts of wheat at
Stockton on one day recently amount
ed to 1,495 tons.
Rev. Dr. Cuyler writes: “Say what
we may of the rapid grow th of our
American towns, the mons’ier strides
of the British metropolis al ways ov
erwhelm me. Loudon now contains
3,600,000 people. It almos t equals
Paris, New York and Brooklyn com
bined into one.”
OUR COURSE AND THE REASONS FOR
IT. .
It is known to all our friends, in
deed to all who knows us, whether
friends or otherwise,that'we were not
a supporter of Col. Trammell until he
became a nominee of the party. We
stated to the delegates from this
county, on the way to Calhoun, and
to Col. Wofford and others, at Cal
houn, that the reports in circulation
about him, and the prejudices against
him would jeopard the integrity of
the party and perhaps lead to its de
feat. We were then, as now, firmly
convinced from our knowledge of
Felton and his contrivances and de
signs, that he would use every device
to distract, divide and defeat the par
ty. That in this he would be gov
erned solely by his ambition for
place, and the prospect for success.
Everything which has transpired
since the nomination, has fully con
firmed these opinions. Even after
the return of the delegation from
Calhoun,we wrote to a leading friend
of Mr. Trammell, saying that in our
opinion the best course for him to
pursue, to secure the harmony and
success of the party, would be to pro
pose to Felton that both should re
tire and give the party an opportuni
ty to unite and maintain its integri
ty upon some other nominee. There
was an obvious impropriety in our
making this suggestion directly to
him. Hence we sought to have this
course brought to his consideration
by a friend of ours, who had also
been a friend of Mr. Trammell and
had favored his nomination. If the
course here suggested had been
adopted promptly, much of tire trou
ble which ensued would have been
avoided. We do not believe that Fel
ton would have acceeded to it, but
his apostacy would have been made
so evident, all not then ready them
selves to desert, would have been
brought to see him in his true char
acter of a deliberate disorganizer. Un
fortunately. this course was not
taken. This has given time and op
portunity for all the disorganizes,
mal-contents, and secret enemies of
tiie Democratic party, to raise a hue
and cry against the Calhoun Conven
tion and the nominee. They have
availed themselves to the utmost of
every pretence, expedient and device
for deceiving and seducing the peo
ple into the support of Felton. Hav
ing determined to stand by the or
ganization of the party, we have
given no equivocal, timorous, half
handed support to its nominee. This
paper has given out no doubtful
sound. None of its readers could doubt
where we stood, and would continue
to stand. We not only had the right,
but it was our duty to scan the char
acter of Felton, and discuss with
freedom the pretensions set forth by
him and his partisans to popular fa
vor. We have not allowed respect
for the sanctity of his vocation, to
deter us in the slightest degree from
the performance of our duty. Iu all
this, it has not been our object to of
fend anybody. But we have not
swerved from exposing him for fear
that what we had to say would be
displeasing to his followers.
We are no Miss Nancy Golightly—
too fearful of giving offense to call
things by their right names.
Thus we are not responsible for the
state of things. The result of the
meeting of the Executive Committee
at Cartersville will furnish additional
proof that we have understood Fel
ton’s character and purpose,and have
done him no injustice. If he finds
his followers will stick to him,he will
stick to his purpose of worming his
way to office. —Rome Commercial.
There is a chap in Staunton, Va.,
who eats glass. “I went out,” says
the physician who describes it, “and
secured a piece, about one-third of a
broken pane, and brought in several
friends to witness the sight. He took
the glass and deliberately bit out a
piece about the size of a silver half
dollar, and chewed it up with as
much gusto as if it had been a piece
of bread, swallowed it, taking after
ward a swallow of water and bread,
lie said, to get the particles out of his
teeth. He would have eaten the
whole piece if I had requested, as he
has frequently eaten tumblers for a
drink of whiskey. He said he would
eat any kind of glass except the col*
ored bottle glass, which had poison
in it. He was first induced to try the
experiment about three years ago, at
the Cape of Good Hope,by a surgeon
in the British navy, who bet he could
eat all the glasses (eighteen in num
ber) at a dinner party, which he did,
and he saw no reason why he could
not do as much, so he tried it by eat
ing only three. Since that time he
has eaten glass for the amusement of
others over a thousand times with no
disagreeable effect. The only differ
ence he sees is, it gives him an appe
tite.”
The deepest coal shaft in this coun
try was formerly that of the Hick
ory mine at Pottsville, Pa., which is
sunk to the depth of 666 feet, at a
cost of SIOO,OOO, and consuming 428
working days in its construction.
This, however, is but little more than
half the contemplated depth of two
shafts now being excavated near
Pottsville by the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company,
and which are to be pushed at a ver
tical distance of 1,500 feet, 900 in one
shaft and 750 in the other having al
ready been accomplished. At each
shaft twenty-five diamond drills are
used, boring holes to the depth of be
tween 200 and 300 feet, which are
charged and blasted simultaneously.
It is estimated that the completion of
the work will develop a mining area
from which at least 80,000,000 tons of
coal can be procured.
A Gilbertown (Iowa) man, while
digging a well, recently came to a

surface, under which was found a
sarcophagus containing the skull,
vertebra; and charred ribs of a man,
an iron circlet or crown, a bronze
dagger and battle-axe, several finger
rings, a peculiar instrument of music
and a panel of wood, much worm
eaten, on which was partially en
graved and partially stained a nude
figure bound to a tree.
Dayton, Ohio, has a musical prod

any thing she has heard, and improv
ises with a skill that is little less than
marvellous.
We understand that two gentle*
men of this city, who have beeu in
the cotton business, intend to start a
glass eye manufactory. We see no
reason why this industry should not
succeed as well here as in Pittsburg.
Why should we depend on the North
for our supply ? Why should brave
Southerners, who freely spilled their
gore during the late struggle, see
anything through Northern eyes?
This new industry will give employ
ment to many idle hands, and to
much idle capital. Come on with
your glass eyes. —New Orleans Pica

Condition of the National Life U. S. A. on
July Ist.
Ten months have passed since the failure of
the largest stockholder in the National Life of
U. S. excited general anxiety lest the company
might in some way be involved.
How have the strong assurances to the con
trary that we then gave in the Monitor been
justified? The July statement of the company
published, elsewhere in our columns, will best
answer this question. The assets on the
first of July amounted to $3,366,888. an increase
of nearly $'4)0,000 within nine months, while its
liabilities foot up to $2,123,269. Leaving a sur
plus of $1,243,619 above the insurance fnnd i'or
the security of the policy holders. During
the last six’months the company has issued
1,500 policies for over $3,000,000 of insurance
and has now in force nearly 12,000 policies and
nearly $26,000,000 of insurance. Notwithstand
ing the business depression of the year and the
necessary expense entailed by the transfer of
its principal office to (Jhioago, a dividend of
$30,000 has been paid upon its stock within this
period.
It is with feelings of no small satisfaction
that we publish this exhibit, so thoroughly
confirming all that the Monitor declared last
October concerning the company and its man
agement. The institution has passed an or
deal more searching than the keenest investi
gation of an official examiner and passed suc
cessful Iv. Had there been a weak spot then
concealed beneath a flourishing exterior that
weakness must certainly have been exposed.
On the contrary, the National is able to pub
lish a stronger statement to-day than ever be
fore. There u nothing glossed or deceptive in
these figures. The assets are represented b/
investments, if anything more solid than be
fore. The million of capital originally staked
as a guarantee of good faith and security
stands intact as when first put up. The accu
mulations have grown with the liabilities, and
the National presents a broader and firmer
financial foundation thau at any time in its
previous history.
The irrelevant issues calculated to injure the
credit of the company, have been raised ovcv
the transfer of its stock and the true relations
between the National anil Republic have been
unfairly and injustly represented. The Na
tional and Republic have never been amalga
mated, nor the fortunes of the former in any
way linked to those of the latter. Stock rep
resented by valid cash securities, w T as held by
the original proprieties of the company. That
same stock, unaltered in its character or seeu
riety, was transfered after the failure of Mr.
Cooks to the Republic, which purchased it,
and the purchase-money was paid to the orig
inal stockholders. This stock is now held by
the same purchasing party, while the capital
which it represents remains invested as be
fore, for the benefit of policy-holders. The
efl'ecton the National was the same as the effect
on any bank of a transfer of its shares. The
business of the bank goes on as before, and the
busidess of the National continues to accumu
late, as shown by the siatument. Started by
the most prominent financier of the country,
the company, true to its mission, was kept free
from entangling alliances in a more prosper
ous business period, and now, in the general
business decline, is reaping the advantages of
the honest, straightforward policy that lias
since been adhered to.
In this connection we may remark concern
ing the Republic company and its managers,
who dow own and control the National, that
probably no circle of men ever stood higher in
the community in which they live than they.
We all know and reel the strength which comes
of the identification of powerful local names
with any enterprise. Every town, every city
has men who are “good as irold,” whose busi
ness sagacity seems unfailing; whose experi
ence and wealth are ample, and whose ability
and integrity are unquestioned. When they
give a matter their indorsement, the commu
nity rest, having that which to them is oft
en times better than personal investigation—
the attestation of men, in whose judgment and
knowledge of the particular matter they have
superior confidence. Such a man is Mr. Far
well. the X'resident of the Republic, and now
President of the National. His connection
with the company, in which ho embarks his
money and reposes his confidence, is a tower
of strength. With him are associated men
able, skillful, shrewd and trusted in their sev
eral departments. Mr. Cortright recently
gave good evidence of the stuff lie is made of,
in the “interview” he arranged with cutpurse
Caverly. Mr. Peet, the actuary, has been in
dentifled with the National from the begin
ning, and is prouder and more confident of it
to-day than ever. Messrs. Cornell, Crank,
Butler, et a/., are birds of a feather. The Na
tional is well manned and well equipped, and
we anticipate for it a prosperous and honora
ble voyage. W. A. Marschalk Agent.
