In response to a toast recently in Gl
-veston. Texas, Gen. Grant Revo expression
to a sentiment at considerable variance
with bis character as President of tbs Uni
ted State*. A Iter referring to a previous
visit to Texas, and a part be took as Lieu
tenant in a command which was engaged
in settling the boundary of the State, be
stated that be doubted not that the country
would be happier and more prosperous
when sectional feeling ceases to exist.
And in addition to this be further stated
that he hoped the country would be able
to get along without being too much gov
erned. If be meant by this that a mild
government were desirable, the two senti
awcnU expressed are perhaps more in utter
sxmflict with the record of the gentleman’s
tvro administrations as t'hicf Magi-trate of
the country than any that could have been
uttered in so brief an address. But unfor
tunately for the hopes of the country, the
gantletpan acting, then, and is merely
talking to a Southern audience, now. and
people can very readily put faith in the
old adage that actions speak louder than
words. If the distinguished gentleman
had have exercised that strong will of his
during his long years of Chief Magistracy
to inculcate, enforce and maintain these
two great principles of mildly governing
aud blotting out and exterminating forever
tlw mad i scions that had been engender
ed bet ri the sections, his name and
fame to ' 1 shine forth amidst a lustrous
splendor brighter than ever illumined the
memory of any hero in any land or age.
But the atsdent of history will not be able
to tiud a single act in the eight years’ ad
ministration of Mr. Grant to indicate any
thing but an iron sway of power, and a
continual fanning and inflaming the angry
embers of sectional bitterness. Texans
may applaud all the pacific talk of the j
gentleman who, like .Macbeth's witches i
** will keep the word of protuiso to their
ears and break it to their hopes," hut they
have only to look across their own ‘'bound
ary line ” into fair Louisiana to see where
this same pacific gentlemen dissolved the
State Legislature with all the military dcs
rpatvsui and purposes that another cbarac
•tor iu history, and to whom he takes pleas
ure in being compared, dissolved the
•Council of Five Hundred. And a refresh- !
ung of this kind is worth more than all the
■extravagant talk that could be indulged in J
for months. Like an able jurist's idea of
theoretic opinions, so the record of a stern ,
:and oppressive ruler is a better criterion
than continued asseverations, however
earnest and apparently sincere, to the
■contrary.

"While'considerable commotion is begin
ning to bemiade m the political world with
reference to a Republican Presidential can
didate, and while considerable strife is
toeing exhibited among the acknowleged
leaders of that party and their friends, it
is a little singular that no voice is raised
in behalf of Mr. Hayes. It is quite likely
that he is too negative a character to an
swer the purposes of his party. Notwith
standing lie has lent himself to the extreme
partisan views and purposes which charac
terize his party, that party it would sooni.
is not much inclined to trust the destinies
of the near approaching future into his
hands. Having mounted on the topmost
wave of fortune by accidental circum
stances by being unexpectedly made the
nominee at Cincinnati, and having still,
after a defeat at the polls, been ushered
into the While House by means hitherto
unknown to the Constitution of this coun
try. and which have all over the land re
ceived the condemnation a> fraudulent and
illegal, tho ininions of power that pressed
him forward to an unenviable record in tile
annals of history have turned their backs
and are paving the way to the last desper
ate means of success in the next campaign.
To this end they arc fixing their eyes upon
a military chieftain who would, if need be
to retain their sway over the rights and
liberties of the people of this country,
brace up their falling dynasty by means of
military domination and swords reeking
with the blood of those who would dare
disobey their partizan edicts. They would
have a Cromwell without a Cromwell's
virtues, one who would rise above the
Constitution, the rights of the States, and
stand forth the undisputed champion over
the prostrate and broken ramparts of our
grand Republican system. We trust how
ever that conservative element will
sufficiently prevail in the approaching con
test as to in one measure at least coun
teract the centralizing tendencies that have
long been hanging as a pall over the desti
mesef our government. And though the
Republican leaders who represent the ex
treme element of the Republican party
may plume themselves, if Republican suc
cess is to attend the next campaign, we
trust the conservative element of that
party will exercise a controlling power in
shaping the governmental policy of the
future.

The grajid celebration in Cincinnati pass
ed most pleasantly, and the large number
of invited guests from the Southern Stales
were treated in royal style. Four hundred
of the city's best business men were ap
pointed to see that the Southerners were
attended to and shown everything worth
seeing in the great city. At the banquet
llixie and Hail Columbia were rendered in
tine style by the band, and each was
loudly cheered ; those who did not go from
Dixie Land yelled in sympathy w ith those
who did, and the patriotic air of Hail Col
umbia awakened even a warmer demon
stration. This looks like brotherly love
and friendship were about to be restored
again. We were secesh to the core, hut
like the lights of schoolboy-days, when
we got whipped were willing to give it up
and be real friends again.
Wc extract the following article from
that sterling paper, the Franklin County
Register, published at Carucsville :
We paid a brief visit to Hart Court last
week, but owing to tlic freshet we did not
reach the beautiful village of Hartwell un
til Wednesday evening. Most, if not all
the important civil cases were continued,
and the dockets show that the people of
Hart are getting to be a very law-abiding
people, and on the criminal side o( the
court there was nothing to bo done.
The sensation of the week was tho visit
of Gen. L. J. Gartrell. on professional
business, who seems to have made a very
decided and favorable impression on many
of the voters of the county.
We called on Hrotlrer McGill, of The
IIAKTWKIX Sun, and were agreeably dis
appointed in the ntan. Instead ot the
slick, spruce fellow, with hair parted in
the middle, that our fancy had pictured,
we found a staunch, solid, genial \ oung
man, whose head and face promises a bril
liant journalistic career.
We had a pleasant interview with “ Old"
Henson, who is one ot the permanent in
stitutions of Hart county, and upon in
quiring. we learned that he is a dealer in
everything except liquors, playing-cards
and tombstones. lie is a living exponent
I of tbe value of advertising, and complains
j that he has rather overdone the business
; this season, as be is selling out too last.
We met many citizens of Hart and ad
j joining counties, of whom we would like
to make kindly mention if our space would
j permit.
Since the completion of the railroad to
i Hartwell, the village has improved very
; rapidly, and is destined to be ope of the

Editors Scn : I am no politician, have
never road a President s or a Governor s
message, but have a pretty good stock ot
common sense on band, and have kept my
eyes open. lam willing to make a mod
erate bet that Grant will be the next
President of these United States. It does
not matter how many Democratic, Repub
lican or Greenback conventions are held.
Grant will be the President—elected or
not. So those who wish to be on the win
ning side had as well do like Judge Loch
rnne —jump over at once. Grant is a strong
! man of the Napoleonic order, who would
be willing to plunge the country into a
long and bloody war to accomplish his de
signs, and he has followers enough to back
him for the sake of the spoils. If the de
cent Republicans and the decent Demo
crats would unite, they might avert the
dread calamity; but there are so many
greedy office-seekers in both parties that
it will not be done. The Independents and

An Atlanta correspondent of tho Augus
ta Evening News says : To-day I learned
that Judge Logan E. Bleckley is living in a
log cabin that he has had built, upon a
mountain, in front of the town of Clayton,
in Rabun county, ami facing the grand old
Blue Ridge. He is living as a hermit, all
alone, save a companion whom he has
found in the mountains, a young boy who
is said to be very intelligent. Judge
Bleckley does his own cooking, and the
neighbors say that be is writing a book.
Augusta Nows : We were shown to
day. by Mr. W, TANARUS, Buchanan, of Willis-
ton. S. C.. a model of anew motive power ■
he has just invented, Mr. Buchanan is on
his way to Washington to get out letters
patent, and vve feel sure he will find no
ditticulty in the way. Really the power
exerted is exactly on the principle of an
overshot wheel. The motive power throws
heavy weight on the down grade, and
gathers i'nto the axis on the ascent. Ibis
is done by connecting rods. The machine
and principle are very simple and practical.
A power of ten pounds exerted at the
motive power raises a weight of one hun
dred pounds and adds to that power. Mr.
Buchanan has one in operation at W illis
ton. which is doing the work, by one
mule, which formerly required that of four
animals. It can be applied to all machin
ery. such as gins, mills, Ac.. and the cost
of construction is marvelously cheap.
A Walnut correspondent writes the fol
lowing to the Forest News, published at
Jefferson, Jackson county : We were much
pained when wc heard of a miraculous es
cape from death of a little boy oil Squire
Suns' plantation, son of a Mr. Iramball.
The particulars as we learn are as follows:
It seems that that the little boy and his
cousin were in the woods chopping, (I sup
pose clearing.) Ilis cousin chopping on an
old large pine tree, that had blown up by
the roots ; the little boy being somewhat
cold and chilly, entered the hole in the
ground the tree had made in uprooting,
and was there resting in the sunshine,
while his cousin was busy chopping away
on the tree, pretty close to the root, when
off went the stick of timber, and the roots
being heavy laden with dirt, flew instantly
back to its previous position. The little
fellow seeing it coming over, bad not time
to make bis escape, but gave an exclama
tion of alarm, and was then covered
teetotally up, with the exception of one
lock of hair. ITis cousin had no idea of
his whereabouts, but bearing the noise he
made, ran around and found him in the
above perilous position, lie immedietely
called to the boy's father, who was work
ing near by, and the two set to work to
get him out. The only instrument they
had was a hoc. and as soon as they could
reach his head and get the dirt out of his
mouth, he requested them to not use the
hoe as it jarred him too much. They then
used their hands and began a vigorous ef
fort to get him out by grabbling, but short
ly after this he expired from smothering,
but recovered ere they reached his legs,
and was talking to them while they were
at work around his feet. He was finally
gotten out and conveyed home. Then that
young and excellent physician Dr. Benj.
Brazelton was summoned and attended the
case. We are glad to learn that the boy
is doing remarkably well. We must say
that this was one of the most frightfully ■
dangerous escapes we have heard of for j
inanr vexrs. Moral ; bnvN, wh<'n roil go
near a clay root, let this be a bint, and
think of the little boy who was buried
alive.
Anderson Intelligencer : Dr. Lawrence
C. Neal and Mr. Charley White, of Hope
well township, in this county, have invent
ed an attachment to a gin for opening cot
ton bolls that do not fully mature before
the stalk is killed l>y cold weather, and for
separating the cotton from the burr. The
attachment is a work entirely of their own.
is quite simple and has been most success
fully operated by them the past season,
the results of which will leave no doubt
in the minds of any as to its great value
to the cotton producers. We arc informed
that they gathered enough cotton bolls
that would not open from the fields of a
single farm this fall to make twelve or
thirteen five hundred pound hales, and
that the cotton was sold in this market
side by side with that which was picked
by the hand at the same price. If the in
vention proves to be all that is claimed for
it, it will certainly lake rank among the
most important inventions of the age. and
will add millions of dollars yearly to the
value of this important crop, as there is al
ways a large per centage of the bolls that
never open, especially when the crop is
late or the fall early.
