Mr. Editor: If yon cun find space:
toll tlie people of Thomas county
that the Seventeenth District is
sure of making an ulmndant snpply
of bremlstuffs. If the ruins contin
ue ten days more, we will - make
more com tlmu hits be3ii produced
here since the war. Cotton is look*
w finely, lmt there is so much time
to the maturing of the crop, that
wc indulge iu do speculations;
fact wc did not set the high estimate
upon this crop, that wc did former
ly. Iticc is being cultivated all over
portiou of the county aiul your
renders will be astonished, (when
the agricultural reports of produc
tions arc next made up), at the
amount of this important nrticle of
consumption produced at. home.—
That last word sounds well. The
area iu potatoes will be much lar
ger than for years past, and upon
tlie whole we are getting some good
out of our last years experience and
failure.
Otur good citizen, in true demo*
cratic spirit determined to celebrate
the funilh in a becoming manner.
A inrge number collected at the
Mill of Mr. J. A. Bullock to enjoy
day in social intercourse, and a nice
dinner. Those present speak of it as
a perfect success.
Your correspondent availed
himself of an invitation to
barbecue nt Magnolia Springs,
about five miles north of this
point, and near tlie line
Railroad. This is a Ixnutiful
advantageously situated, and couli
bo made a popular rammer resort,
with n little capital niul energy.—
Indnco soine of ohr pleasure seek
ing folks to give this matter the at
tention it merits. Wc arrived at
tlie place in good time and found
indeed a bountiful feast prepared;
•rtaiuly those who had control of
• ho preparatives were experts ia the
business. In due time dinner was
announced, and after the blessings
of the Divine had liecu invoked by
the Rev. Mr. McAfee, we fell to one
and nil and did ample justice to the
good things so iKinutifully prepared;
and right here Mr. Editor, allow me
to say that everything went oft* with
the most perfect order, and was the
mffcit pleasant gathering of the kind
it has been my fortune to attend. All
praise to the gentlemen and mana
gers. 'Ihe. harheue teas a \*rfetA
sucre**. After dinner, there was a
public debate, in which abont six
teen of the young gentlemen of tho
vicinity )mrticipatetl. The* question
for delmto.was who deserved tnot t ap
plause, Columbus for discovering
America or Washington for defend
ing it ? Of course ou this centen
nial occasion Columbus had bat few
adbereuts, and caused little enthu
siasm, consequently lost his ease.—
The speakers “one of whom your
correspondent was which” afforded
the intelligent andicncc a fund of
amusement by displaying their jtrr-
feet knowledge of the history of
our couutry. Your hmuble servant
was on tho losing side, and natur
ally attribes tho decision, not to de
fective oratory, want of ability or
anything of that kind, but to* the
hold that the name of Washington
has upon tho hearts of his country
men. I have heretofore oinitted to
state that there were no editors
present and consequently a sufficient
amount was left from* dinner to
have fed tlie same number again.
We are aguin preparing to roll up
solid democratic rote m our fall
elections, I think you may count
upon this with perfect assurance.
Wl REJIG RASH.
cessary to enter upon any extended
examination of the declaration of
principles made by the convention.
The resolutions are in accord with
my views and I heartily concur iu
the principles they announce. In
several of the resolutions, however,
questions are considered which are
of such importance that I deem it
of
iroper to briefly express my convic-
ions in regard to them. The fifth
resolution adopted by the conven
tion is of porswonut interest More
than forty years ago, a system of
making appointments to office grew
up, based upon the maxim, “to the
victors belong the spoils.” The old
rule—the true rule—that honesty,
ipacity and fidelity constitute the
only real qualifications for office,
and that there is no other claim,
gave place to the idea that party
services were to be chiefly consid
ered. All parties in practice have
adopted tins system. It has been
essentially modified since its first
introduction, bnt it has not, howev
er, been improved. At first the
President, eitner directly or through
the heads of deportments, made all
the appointments, bnt, gradually,
the appointing power in many ca
ses has passed into the control of
members of Congress. The offices
in these cases have become no!
merely rewards for party services,
but rewords for services to party
leaders. This system destroys tho
independence of the seperate de
partments of the government. It
tends directly to extra raganoc and
official incapacity. It is a tempta
tion to dishonesty. It hinders and
impairs careful supervision and
strict accountability, by which alone
faithful and efficient public service
can be secured. It obstructs the
prompt removal and punishment of
the unworthy. In even* way it de
grades the civil service and tlie char
acter of the government. It is felt,
I am confident, l>y a large majority
of the mombers of Congress to lie
an intolerable burden and an un
warrantable hindrance to the prop-
er discharge of their legitimate du
ties, and it ought to be abolished.
The reform should bo thoroughly
radical and complete. We should
return to the principles and prac
tice of the founders of tlie govern
ment, supplying bv legislation, when
needed, that which was formerly an
established custom. They neither
expected nor desired from a public
officer any partizan sen-ice. They
meant that public officers should
owe their whole service to the gov
ernment and to the people. They
meant that the officer should be se
cure iu liis tenure ns long as his
personal character remaiued untar
nished, nnd the performnee of his
duties satisfactory. If elected, I
shall conduct the administration of
the government upon these princi
ples, and all constitution id powers
vested in the Executive will be cm-

Hayes* Letter of Acceptance*
Cincinnati, July 0.—Tho follow
ing is the letter of Governor Hayes
accepting the Republican nomino-
Presidency:
tion for the
Columbus, O., July 8.
Hon. Eduard McPherson, Hon. Tl’m.
A. Howard, Hun. Jus. H, Painty
and others, Committee of the Ite-
publivan National Cm rent tun:
Gentlemen—In reply to your of
ficial communication of June 17th,
by which I am informed of
nomination for the office of Pi
ident of the United States by the
Republican National Convention at
Cincinnati, I accept the nomination
with gratitude, hoping that under
Providence I shall be able, if elect
ed, to execute the duties of the high
office as a trust for the benefit ed all
the people. I do not deem itne-
ploved to establish this reform.
Tho declaration of principles by
tho Cincinnati Convention makes
no announcement in favor of a sin
gle Presidential term. I do not as
sume to add to the declaration, but
believing that tho restoration of the
civil service to tho system establish
od by Washington and followed by
the early Presidents can be best ac
complished by an executive who is
under no temptation to use tho pat
ronage of his office to promote his
own re-election, I desire to perform
what I regard as a duty in stating
now my inflexible purpose, if elect
ed, not to bo a candidate for election
to a second term.
On the currency question I bav
frequently expressed my views in
public nnd stand by njy record on
this snhjceb I regard nil the laws
of the United States relating to the
payment of the public indebtedness
and the legal tender notes as con
stituting a pledge and moral obliga
tion of government which must in
good faith bo kept. It is my con
viction that the feeling of uncer
tainty inseparable from an irredeem
able paper currency with its fluctu
ations of values is one of the great
obstacles to a revival of confi
dence and business, and to a re
turn of prosperity. That uncertain
ty can be ended in bnt one way, the
resumption of specie payment* But
the longer the instability connected
with our present money system is
permitted to continue the* greater
will be the injury inflicted upon our
economical interests and all classes
of society. If elected I shall ap
prove every appropriate measure to
accomplish the desired end, and
shall oppose any step backward.
The resolution with roqiect to the
public school 83’stem is one w hich
should receive the hearty support of
tho American people,* Agitation
upon this subject is to l>c appre
hended till, by constitutional amend
ment, schools aro placed beyond till
danger of sectional control or inter
ference. Tho Republican party is
"ged to secure such amendment
resolution of the convention on
the subject of the permanent pacifi
cation of tho country and the com
plete protection of all its citizens in
the free enjoyment of all their con-
stitaRonal rights is timely and of
ipeai importance.
The condition of the Southern
States attracts attention and com
mands the sympathy of the people
of the whole Union in their pro
gressive recovery from the effects of
the war. Their first necessity is an
intelligent and honest administra
tion of the government, which will
protect all dosses of citizens in their
political and private rights. What
the South most needs is peace, and
peace depends upon the supremacy
of the laws. There can be no en-
if the constitutional
country, depends upon the attrac
tions it can offer to labor, to immi
gration and to capital, bnt laborers
will not go and capital will not ven
ture where the constitution and
laws are set at defiance, and distrac
tion, apprehension and alarm take
the place of peace-loving and law-
abiding social life. All parts of the
constitution are sacred and must be
sacredly observed—tho parts that
ore now no less than the parts that are
old. The moral and material pros
perity of the Southern States can be
most effectually advanced by a hear
ty and generousj*ecognition of the
rights of all by all, without teserve
or exception. With such a recog
nition, fully accorded, it will be
practicable to promote by the influ
ence of ail legitimate agencies of the
General Government, the effort of
the people of these Stales to obtain
for themselves blessings of honest
and capable government. If elected,
I hball consider it not only my duty,
but it will be my ardent desire to
labor for the attainment of this end.
Let me assure my countrymen of
the Southern States that if I shall
be charged with the ditty of organ
izing an administration it will be
one which will regard and cherish
their trust interest—the interest of
the white and of the colored people,
both and equally, and which will
put forth its best efforts in liehalf of
a civil polity which will wipe out
forever tho distinction between the
North ami tlie South in our common
country. With a civil service or-
jJiniietl tqion a system which will
secure purity, experience, efficiency
and ecouoiny, a strict regard for the
public welfare solely iu appoint
ments, and the speedy, thorough
and unsparing prosecution and pun
ishment of all public officers who
betray official trusts, with a sound
currency, with education unsecta
rian and free to all, with simplicity
and frugality iu public and private
affairs, nnd with a fraternal spirit
of harmony pervading the people
of all sections and classes, we may
reasonably hope that the second
century of our existence as a na
tion will, by the blessings of God, be
pre-eminent us an era of good feel
ing aud a period of progress, pros
perity and happiness.
Very respectfully your feliw-citizen,
R. B. Haves.
The Local Editor.
The following is borrowed, and
it is the best wc ever had a local
editor lend us:
“If a man buys a new baggy, or
if his cow can bawl three times with
out winking, the local is expected
to proclaim with a grand flourisu.
If lie starts n two-penny business,
his first thought is to bribe the lo
cal with a five cent cigar to write
up a five dollar puff Indeed he
thinks it is a mission of the local to
make bis fortune for him by ‘free
blowing.’ Ho will take the local to
one side and poiut out the superior
qualities of a rat-terrier dog, and
coolly ask him to ‘give him a hoist’
Ho don’t care anything about it,
only Spriggius has a dog which he
thinks is a buster, nnd some of ’em
wanted his ‘put iu’ just to ‘take the
The Biggest Bear Mory,
The Reno (Rev.) Gazette repeats
it thus: “I’ve fought ’em standin’
and runnin’ but the toughest citizen
I ever lit onto was a blade ’un. He
was sittin’ in the chapparel eaten’
manzanita berries, when my dog
smelt him and begun aggrivatiu’
him by shoo tin’ at his ears and feet
I then took around him, and with
tliree shots cut off his tail. Old
Blacky heerd me shootin*, aud turn
in’ around, see his tail laying there.
He picked it up and looked at the
trade mark, and I see in r. minute
that war was a-comin*. I lit out for
tree, with only two cartridges left and
him-a cornin’. Well, to make a long
story short, I shot twice, bittin’ him
Doth times, and he begun to git hot,
he took up the tree after me, nnd
I knocked him down three times be
fore my gun broke. He started on
the fourth trip, and I didn’t know
what do till I thought of my Dorm
er, which shot a four ounce ball.—
drew her out, tied a string to the
trigger, and os old Blacker came up
with his mouth open 1 dropped her
in, He hadn’t time to spit her out,
and, so he swallowed and I pulled
the string. Off went the gun, and,
so help me, I never sec anything of
bear or pistol since.”
Hayes and Wheeler.—A Wash
ington dispatch says: The political
records of Hayes and Wheeler in
Congress arc rapidly being investi
gated by Democoatic members of
the House. Haves was uniformly
in favor of every land grant and ev
ery subsidy brought before the
House during his membership and
Mr. Wheeler, during his connection
with the Pacific Railroad Committee
was a prince among the Credit Mo-
bilicr supporters and advocated ev
ery measure of any benefit to the
land grabbers. Both nominees hav
ing accepted the honor on a plat
form, one of the principal planks
which renounces such thieving
measures as Hayes and Wheeler
supported, it is inferred that none
know better than they aud their
party how deeply the people of too
country have been wronged by the
indiscriminate gift of public land to
railroad monopolies.
Boys, Read This.—We commend
tho following sentence to our boy
an I would recommend them to cut
it out and place it where it cau be
read every morning before they en
ter upon the duties of the day.—
Read it carefully aud profit by it.—
The picture is a true one:
A gentleman visited an unhappy
man in jail awaiting his trial, ‘Sir,’
said the prisoner, tears running
down his cheeks, ‘I had a good home
education; it was m3' street educa
tion that ruined me. I used to slip
out of the house and go off with the
boys iu street. In the street I learn
ed to swear; in the street I learned
to smoke; in the street I learned to
gamble; in the stroct I learned to
pilfer. Ob, sir in the street the dev
il lurks to work the ruin of tlie
conceit out of Spnggins.’ Eveiy-
liody wants to be ‘put in.’ They are
the ‘Great I Am.’ hut no one says,
‘hero local, put yourself outside of
this oyster stew, or stuff this watch
into your pocket.’ Oh, no, of course
not; that would cost something.—
The shoo is on the other foot, you
see. The local is supposed to know
everything about other people’s bus
iness, and is expected to snow up
all the actors in overy family broil
in town, If the vile tongue of scan-
dad finds a victim, people wonder
win* he don’t run about with his
note-book and gather up vitu
perative bits of slander for his pa
per. If he steps into a billiard sa
loon he is requested to make a note
of the astounding fact that Bill
Tomkins has made a run of eleven
points. When the minstrel tronpe
arrives in town, or city, the agent
immediate^* rushes into the prin
ting office, and calling for the local,
lie slaps three or four tickets in his
hand, and whispers: Draw us a
big house ! Tut it iu strong!’ and
patting him patrouiriugiy on the
shoulder, ' ihe agent ad
mits the inferiority of the
tronp, but we are not to ‘let on.’ It
is no sin for the local to lie. To
please the lecturer the local is for
ced to sit two moral hours to hear him
through an iusipid discourse^ that
he can -write him up,’ and so it goes.
All are anxious to appear favorably
iu print, hut few are willing to pay
for it! The local’s time is worth
nothiug but to bother his head wri
ting puffs for ambitions persons.—
It don’t cost him anything to live.—
He never eats'or drinks, travel, and
money is of no use to him.
At the Centennial, the Philadel
phia ladies cry out, 'Isn’t it cun

The X. Y. Hcahr* Columbus,
Ohio, correspondent savs “Hayes
‘peaks in high terms of Blaine and
las words of eulogy and regard for
Horten and Conkling.” Well, if
nothing else had ever been said
about Hayes, this is enough for us
and twice enough, when conpled
with the fact that his nomination is
satisfactory to the reverned Lotha

It has just been decided by the
Supreme Conrt of tho United States
that iu cases where ou insolvent
debtor made an assignment ol his
effects to trustees for the equal and
common benefit of all, six months
before the institution of proceedings
under the bankrupt law against
him, that the assignment so made is
not assailable b3* an assignee iu
bankruptcy, aud that tho assignee
has no right to the property ot the
kanknipt so placed iu tho hands of
trustees. Tills decision will have
the effect of lessening the commis
sions of assignees in bankruptcy.
A Little Mixed.—In the Repub
lican platform these words are
quoted: “Governments have been
instituted among meu, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the
governed.” But tho convention did
not rebuke Grant for overturning
the State Legislature of Louisiana;
nor for manufacturing a legislature
in Georgia, and forcing it to ratify^
a reconstruction amendment, with
out “tho consent of tho governed.”
“Leap Year!” said he as he threw
himself indolently upon the lounge.
“Oh, don’t • I wish I was

my clothes cut after the “Domestic
Fashions” and just heap the st3ie
on Aud wouldn’t I pile on tho

HI! OUCH !” and just here
his father, as he led him out by tho Ara ^
car, said, “Young man, if you don’t wiiicbt

bustle iu the neighborhood of that I
wood pile I’ll fix you so’s you'

letter from a gentleman in Scotland
to his friend in Virginia:—I will
v tell you of two young women
who bad been disappointed in mar
riage, and being intimate they re
vealed their minds to each 'other
and resolved to live as man and wife
in some place where they were not
known. They drew lots to decide
who should be the man. The
on whom it fell assumed the name
of James Han. They had a servant
but each performed the duties be-
nng to his or her station. They
led honestly, gained a good deal
of money, were well respected, and
lived together thirty-one 3-ears, un
til at last the wife died, when the
discovery was made. James Han
served in all the offices of the place
except constable; and had been of
ten foreman of juries and was to
have been church warden if the dis
covery of her sex had not been
made.

Ihe Chicago Tribune “takes great
pleasure” iu publishing the following
communication from Fremont, Ohio:
As the church relations of Govern
or Hayes are being mooted in
West, I beg leave to give you the
facta: Gov. Hayes ia not a member
of the M. E. Church, but is a regular
attendant on its services here; and.
the discipline of that church allown
a minority of trustees lo b> meu ui
good reputation, though not members
of the church, the Governor is f ^'resi
dent of our board of trustee*. Mrs.
Hayes is a member in good aud regu
lar standing In (he Methodist Episco
pal Church here.” __
Hayes is, therefore, just the sort of
a Methodist Grant is; and. with all
due deference to Bishop Haven, neith
er the followers of John Wesley nor
the American people at large, want
any more Methodists of that kind in
the Presidential chair.—St Louis Ho-
publican.

Grandin aro bre iking prairie,

make ouo rotiud across the uutire
township and back, twelve milus be
fore dinner and the same iu the af
ternoon—twenty-four miles' travel
for each team every day. All for
heat next year.”
“May they always live in Jieace
and harmony,” was the way a Yan
kee marriage notice should have
wound up; but the conqKJKitor, who
couldn’t read manuscript very well,
put in type and horrified tho* happy
couple by making it read, “May they
’ vays live on neas and hominy.”

out of the gate, “bring me up five
