directly the reverse of the principles Of
popular liberty, that a bloody civil war
may become necessary at any moment to
make apparent to this people the
blessings of their rule. Nay, more /;
they demand fresh army, large militia
force, for The North, in every Com
gressiOnal district.
This party has now held almost undis-
puted sway for three long weary years,
and just SO long has the whole land
grOaned as in an agony. Never in this
country before has so much poger been
aCielded by political party They have
not merely used all the powers which
rightfully belong to Congress, but they
have taken to themselves the power Of
the President and the Supreme Court !
and, lastly, by treating the Constitution
as thing Of naught, they have usurped
large mass of powers rightfnlly belong
ing to the States and the people. With
all this vast concentration of power IN
their hands, is the country prosperous ?
Have they made it happier, freer, richer,
or more peaceful, or the reverse of all
these?
Therefore, seeing all this, the people
demand change. Approaching, also
this fact of the popular discomfort Cons
gress is full of schemes to battle and OUT
wit the popular determination. Thirteen
enslaved States are the counters these
leaders play in this infamous game for
power But it will avail not. The
masses Of the land are determined on a
change of rulers, and these leaders might
as well attempt to dam up Niagara as to
defeat their will Neither fraud, nor art,
nor Congressional chicane or menace can
stand up against the power of great num-
bers, the brawny arms Of the plundered
and oppressed millions, and the force of
truth. The reaction Of 1867 has become
a grOund,swell, and those who dash
against it will find themselves swept away
by the great popular current lie who
does not see it must be Willfully and stu
pidly blind

TUE RAMIEPLANT AND FIBRE

This plant still continues to be propa-
gated with great success, by the planters
Of Louisiana and Mississippi. Last spring
a quantity was cleaned by the koezl ma
chine with unsatisfactory resnlts, but was
subsequently, sent 10 Germany where, by a
process used there, it has been made 80 soft
pliable and clear Of any substance foreign
70 il as a textile, that we thought it mnst
surely be silk, until We examined it close
", and saw that it was the vegetable fibre
of ramie.
These samples can be seen at Mr.. Bruck-
ner's, l04 GraYier, over Virgins seed store,
and are worthy of the examination OF our
men of taste aud enterprise.
Mr. Bruckner says that the rdmie can be
prepared and made thus fine and altogether
silk-like at r cost not TO exceed two cents
per pound, aud then it Nui be vastly Hn-
perior TO the linen floss, which sells at from
six to eight dollars per pound when made
into thread, and will certainly be worth,
unsPun, dollar a pound. Ma OrtfaH'

FASTEST TIME ON RECORD.

The remarkable performance Of the
pacing horse, Billy Boyce, at Buffalo, on
the 1st inst, surpasses anything known on
the turf. The horse beat the time, both Of
PoCahontas the PAGER, and of Dexter, the
matchless trolter The following account
of the race between this PAGER 8pd Rolla
GoIddust will be read with interest:
BUFFALO, N. Y, August The main
portion of those who had come hither to
attend the trotting meeting departed last
evening, and comparatively few remained
to witness the race of the extra day, be-
tween Rolla Golddust, Lucy, and the PAGER
Billy Buyce, to saddle, for purse of $1,000
The race itself excited little interest when
it was known that Lucy would not start.
BoyCe was a great fayorite in pools and
those who did so, bet against him with the
sole hope that his unsteadiness would give
the race to Rolla. The morning was Wet
and rainy, and a small number only were
at the park. When the horses were called
mp bets of three to one on the PAGER found
no takers.
First Health the first beat the PAGER
led until half way up the back stretch,
when lac broke and Rolla went past him.
BoyCe settled and again came on, but as he
was nearing Rolla in the back stretch he
broke, and the stallion won in 2:3lA
Second Heat-The PAGER acted 80 badly
that his hackers became fearful, and those
who had bet on fast time endeavOred to
hedge out. No one looked for the great
speed that was shown. At the word the
PAGER rushed to the front, and, though
Golddust was getting over the ground very
swiftly, Boyce was faster than he, and in
the lower end, fairly settled, he rushed like
locomotive past the quarter in 81 seconds.
Up the back stretch he went, and few past
the half in lilo, the second quarter in 80
seconds. Golddust was no laggard, and
with Hockey to ride him he was but six
lengths behind. The PAGER had fairly struck
his gait, rounded the upper end, and Ikea
very shadow ne came home flying, and
went under the wire under pull, in the
unparalleled time of 2:l54; Golddusts
time was 2:264.
Third Heat-Although GOlddust made
one quarter in 324 seconds, in the third
heat, the PAGER rushed into the lower end
six lengths ahead, passed the quarter in 33
seconds, went to the half in Loo, the third
quarter in 1:40, and the mile in the great
time of 2:144-or 81 seconds faster than the
best pacing time (Pocahontas,) and 8
seconds better than Dexter's record
Fourth Heat-The fourth heat was
equally remarkable. The quarter was
made in 81 seconds, the half in los, and
the mile in 2:20f.

HOT SUMMERS-WHEN AND WHAT
THEY WE'RE
From the Washington Republican.

From the Washington Republican
Aswe are ENJOYING one of the hottest SUM
mers that many of us have ever seen, it
may not be uninteresting to read what his
tory says of like seasons. The first record
we find dates back to 1882, when the earth
opened by reason of the intense heat, and
the rivers and springs in Alsace dried up.
At this time the Rhine also dried up. In
1852 the heat was 80 great that eggs were
cooked in the sand In 1870, at the battle
of Bella, great number of soldiers died
from the heat. In 1876 and 1877, in France,
an absolute failure of the crops of grass
and oats occurred. In 1903 and 1904, the
Seine, Loire, the Rhine and the Danube
were passed over dry-foOted. In 1918 and
1916 the heat was overwhelming in France,
Italy and the Netherlands. In 1916 there
were fifty consecutive days of excessive
heat. The same was the case in the first
three years of the eighteenth century.
In 1871 it did not rain once from the
month of April to the month of October.
The crops were burned up, and the theaters
were closed by the decree of the Lieuten-
ant of Police. The thermometer marked
SO degrees Reaumer (l13 Fahrenheit). 10
gardens which were watered, fruit-trees
Powered twice. In 1922 and 1924 the heat
was extreme. In 1747 the summer was
very hot and dry, which actually calcined
the crops During seven months no rain
fell, In 174S, 1854, 1860, 1867, l778 and
1886 the heat was excessive.
In 1911. the year of the celebrated
comet, the summer was very warm, and the
wine delicious, even at Susenses. In 1878
the theaters in France and Great Britain
remained closed for nearly a month, owing
10 the heat. In 1850, in the month OF
June on the second appearance of cholera,
the thermometer marked 30 degrees cent?
grade. According to the best authority,
the highest temperature which man can
support for a certain time, varies from 40
to As degrees tl04 to 1l3 F'ahrenheit) and
frequently, as we ali know, accidents viii
happen at a less elevated temperature.
From these records we see that nature IS
treating us to nothing new under the sun,
but is only repeating one of her Old pro-
grammes, which will explode the theory
we have somewhere heard advocated, that
year by year the earth is growing colder,
and would in time become a frozen mass.
We can, however, hope that the thing can
be divided mp little more evenly, and
that our springs and rivers may hold ont,
and our abundant harvest know DO sICh
scorching as history speaks Of.

the cRors AND THE PAIL rRADl

From the Charleston IS. CO Mercury, Aug. 8!
In this State we hear from various por-
tions that less cotton and more corn has
been planted than in previous years, bat
that the STAND generally is very good
If no untoWard event arises, and none such
is looked for, the planters have every hope
of making a good cotton crop. The pros
pect, therefore, is very good, and the
smaller area planted in cotton, there is
reason to believe, will be fully compensated
by the better yield this year than the last.
What the prices will be, it is, Of course,
impossible to predict, but we think the in-
dications so far are all favorable. g
The tax, moreover, of two and half
cents per pound is taken off, and the profits
Of the producer thereby materially in
creased for there can be no question that
this tax came out of the hard earnings Of
the producer, and not from the pockets Of
the consumer. In regard TO the rice crop
we shall speak again, and we are glad that
we will be able to do 50 favorably.
With the prospect OF a fair crop, we may
confidently look forward also to a revival
of business in the fall in its several
branches. Charleston is good market for
DugtIb uO At5S kudll lOI bclIGI5s OuI
porters, iobbers and wholesale dealers, are
making extensive preparations for the APP
preaching fall trade. Every ship that en-
tiers our harbor is freighted with merchan-
disc of every description to meet the de-
mand both ofthe local trade, and still more
of the wholesale trade.
Charleston has every facility for a first
class emporium. We have the harbor, the
wharves, the warehouses, the cotton presses,
experienced merchants and bankers. We
have numerous railroads, connecting by
well devised schedules, and the most rea-
sonable tariff of through rates with every
point South, West and North ofus. There
is no reason why we should not have cot
ton here from South Carolina, North Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana. Before the
war our banks had agencies in all or nearly
all these States. A great deal Of their cot
ton came here, and was carried to Liver
pool in Charleston shipping. Their mer-
chants came here and purchased their
stocks and supplies in spring and autum.
Now that the interior communications are
much improved, and freights are moved
with less delay and at lower rates than was
the case before the war, there is the more
reason why we should do all this business
and even more
