It will be seen by reference to the advertisement
of Messrs Cline & Quinn of the Augusta Store,
that they have added another very important fea
ture to their already attractive store. It is a Bar
gain Counter placed along the middle of the store*
and piled with goods which they have marked
down much below iheir real value, and which will
have to be seen to be appreciated. Those who
wish to buy will find it to their interest to call and
examine their large aud varied stock and especi
ally their Bargain Counter before purchasing their
supplies.

BAI DffIN CROPS.
Day after day passes and more and
more cheerless grows our prospect for
rain. Terrible is the condition of our
suffering crops, with not one half of
the cotton on many plantations yet
up. No year since the war has been
ca culated to bear more gloomily up
on our planters than this. Wet spring,
bac .ward preparation, bad cotton
,ee and now,the dryest of dry weath
er.
We have about as much cotton
planted in Baldwin as we had last year,
and think rather mote corn. We are
Borry to chronicle an increase in the
use of commercial fertilizers (or dirt).
Last year, despite the wet weather,
the cotton was all up and growing by
this time; then we had an extreme of
wet weather. Now the case is exactly
reversed, and we have extremely dry
weather.
The crop of Baldwin for 1S71 was
inferior, and present indications are
that the cotton crop of this county for
1^72 will be less than that of 1871.

THE NO VI (NATIONS*.
The Pennsylvania Democracy have
seen with great equanimity the pro
ceedings at Celumbtis and at Cincin
nati. The two Conventions have
placed in nomination lor the Presiden
cy men whose recommendations for
that office indicate the sense of the
country that constitutional liberty is
endangered through the license engen
dered by civil war. and continued by
an administration alike ignorant and
reckless of the principles of free gov
ernment. When the right to trial by
jury and relief by habeas corpus first
came before the highest legal tribunal
of the land, Judge Davis joined the
four Judges, among them Judge Greir,
of Pennsylvania, who were willing to
go furthest in asserting the great doc
trines of free government.
At Cincinnati, the Liberal Republi
cans have placed in nomination a dis
tinguished journalist, who has been
alienated from the support of the
“ present” administration by its persis
tent efforts to perpetuate a state of
chronic discord at the South, in the
interest of the military aspirants to
renomination. The significance of the
nomination of .Mr. Greeley is that even
in the ranks of Radicalism there is a
strong desire for the restoration of free
civil government, and a true and cor
dial union of the States. When the
minds of men are thus turning to the
Democratic principles, it imposes on
the Democracy the duty of consistent
adherence to them. The Democracy
of Pennsylvania have never swerved
from their devotion to the Constitu
tion and the Union. It is no new born
faith iu them, aud they have no occa
sion to learn it from new converts.
Without depreciating iu any degree
either of the two candidates who are
already before the country, we think
the Democracy of Pennsylvania will
desire to bring into the field a states
man who wiil secure the confidence
and deserve the support of all whose
aim is to restore free civil government,
and purify the administration of it.
It were a slander upon the great par
ty that contains in its rauks so many
pure and eminent nron tu suppose Ltiai
it cannot furnish a fit representative
of its own principles. Such a one can
and will be found. As an example of
our tneauing, we will not hesitate to
name our eminent Jurist, Chief Jus
tice Thompson, in whom a consistent
and unexceptional record, high integ
rity, and proved abilities will render
him acceptable not only to the Demo
cracy, but to many who have sought
at Cincinnati and Columbus to nomi
nate a candidate that shall offer just
such guarantees of persona! character
aud civil training as are united in one,
whor as much as any man now living
deserves the title of “Pennsylvania’s
favorite son.”
We do not at all doubt the success
of a campaign under his leadership.
He would carry Pennsylvania by a
great majority. The Democracy wouid
support him with enthusiasm. The
really sincere friends of reform would
prefer him to General Grant or Mr.
Greeley. We have not cherished any
doubt that the Democratic Conven
tion, would in due time, place a De
mocratic candidate in the field. Let
h-ni be one to meet the requirements
of the times, as plainly indicated in
the current of political events, and
these will result, as they are now evi
dently tending, to the re-establishment
of the principles of the Constitution,
and in placing the administration of
them in competent hands.
We have received from Messrs. D.
Appleton & Co., New Pork, Fenimore
Cooper’s “ Deerslayer,” being the sec
ond issue in the new illustrated edi
tion of Cooper’s “ Leather-Stocking
Tales,” which was announced a few
weeks ago, on the appearance of “ The
Last of the Mohicans.” This edition
of Cooper’s novels is handsomely Illus
trated with new engravings by F. O.
C. Darley. and the volumes are sold at
the low price of seventy-five cents.
It is the first time Cooper’s novels have
been placed before the public in a
style that is both attractive, and yet
at a price to render them accessible to
the great, majority of readers. As
time passes, Cooper’s splendid pic
tures of the early border-life of our
country gain value and charm. Every
American should be familiar with the
scenes and characters which, he depicts,
for his works are indivisibly identi
fied with our early history and our
primitive fotests. Cooper’s novels
ought to form ft part of the education
of our youth, for they are well calcu
lated to inspire a love of country, and
to encourage a spirit of manliness.

If you occupy these relations now, or are about
to do so, study well your constitution. If you
have acquired or inherited Scrofula or any dis
ease which may be transmitted to your offspring,
it is your solemn dnty to eradicate it. Thous
ands of children are now suffering from the effectR
of poisonous d sease transmitted to them from
their parents. Tbe thought is ttrrible. You can
your near little ones much pain and unhappiness
by the timely use of Dr. Tint’s Sarsaparilla and
Queen’s Delight. It will surely eradicate the
taint from your system, or if it has already been
entailed upon your child, give it at once, this val
uable preparation and its system wil be reuovated
and restored to soundness.
[Special Dispatch to the Daily Moralug News.]
Washington May 7, 1872.
An important conference was held in
the Capital this morning for the purpose
of discussing the availability of Grant as
the nominee of the Philadelphia Conven
tion. There was present Colfax, Conk-
ling, Morton, and other Administration
partisans. The result of their deliberations
is kept strictly secret.
The confidential manager of Jay Cook
& Co., of this city, is authority for the
statement that Jay Cook and other par
ties held a consultation with Secretary
Boutwell iu New York last night, for the
purpose of urging tbe latter to resign tbe
Secretaryship of tbe Interior and become
a candidate for the Presidency before
the Philadelphia Convention, pledging in
his favor the entire influence of the Nation
al Banks and other moneyed institutions.
The conference is said to have been »uc
cessful and Boutwell will resign.
The project of throwing Giantoverbsrd
in Philadelphia, and substituting some one
upon whom both factions of the Republi
can party can unite, is being boldly can
vassed—especially since the nomination of
Greely and Brown, and the favorable re
ception given tbe ticket by the Democra
tic press of different parts of the country#
It is stated positively that, if Grant is
nominated at Pailadelphia, Sumner will
support Greeley, no matter what platform
ia adopted at Philadelphia.
Afier the Philadelphia Convention,
Sumner will come out in a letter or speech,
defining his position. In the meantime,
he is doing all he can, in a quiet way, for
Greeley.
During tbe session of the Cabinet to day
it was decided to remove Assistant Sec
retary of State, Charles Hale, for alleged
trading iu State secrets on the Alabama
question.

Sir—Please accept the heartfelt thanks of a
mother who was well nigh driven to despair by
the sad condition of an ouly child. My little boy
lias beeu afflicted with Scrofula ever since his
birth, and after trying every rente ly that was re
commended, and several physicians had pronoun
ced him past all hope, l accidently heard of your
Sarsaparilla and Queen's D-light, It wa9 so high
ly recommended that I concluded to try it, but I
rnu9t confess with very little faith. He has taken
nine of the bottles you sent me, and 1 am happy
in being able to say that he is almost well ; and I
believe by the time he takes the dozen, he will be
perfectly restored to health. He has gained flesh,
has a fine appetite, aud now walks two miles to
school. 1 shall always remember you with grati

by a brisk application of the brush to promote the
absorption of the fluid by the scalp, will stop the
thinning-out process iu forty-eight hours. The
roots from which the dead filaments were shed will
soon be re-endowed with vitality, and a new
growth will speedily spring up on the denuded
places. I’his work of reproduction will go on un
til the damage is completely repaired, and the lux
