Muslins, grenadines, the lightest tis-

before the steadily melting process
which goes on, with the thermome-

September, above oil others, is the
month for country visits and the en-
joyment of unadulterated country
pleasures. The picnic dresses are
the prettiest this season that we have
ever seen. One we remember in

It was referred to che State Central
Executive Committee, by the late
Democratic Convention, to inquire
into the disabilities imposed, by rea-
son of the war. upon q portion of our
people, restraining them from. the
exercise of the elective franchise in
South Carolina; and to publish the
conclusion attained, for the informa-
ton Of the people Of the State. The
committee, in the discharge Of that
duty, announce that they have ex-
amined the sE.hiac*s .sis:cs, ,and beg TO state;
1. That no such disabilities now
exist by. or under the Acts of Con

Act, the State having been officially

HEIR TO THE GREEK THRONE. An
heir to the Greek throne, child of
Queen Olga, was born at Athens,
August 2, last, and on the same day
received the name of Constantine
Henry Demosthenes, amidst great re-
joicing. The Joy of the people at
the birth of the Prince is represented
to be unbounded, such an event not
having before occurred within four
centuries.
A curious row took place at Nor
folk, few nights ago. A party of
negroes were sitting up over q corpse.
They called themselves Baptists, and
being joined by another party, who
professed to be Methodists, and
thinking the latter were seeing q bet
ter time than they did, they tried to
drive them of, which ended in a gem

I., A LETTRR FROM F. P. BLAIR
Col. r. A. Alston recently wrote to
Gen. Blair, enclosing o copy of the
Atlanta (Ga.) Neto Era, and referred
the General to the lines at the head
of that paper, in which it quotes
Gen. Grant as saying "Let us have
peacel' and Gen. Blair as saying
tLet us have war;" He received the
following letter in reply:
6 Fort SAUNDERS, WYo.d1Na TER.
Tuesday, August 18, 1868.
Col Il. a. ALston, Atlanta, Ga.
!, DEvR SIR: Your note in regard to
the misrepresentation of the carpet
bag editor at Atlanta, is received.
This is the, business for which he is
paid and by which he gets his living.
1 would not advise you or any other
gentleman to notice him in any man
nerS except to correct, through the
press, any falsehood which you may
consider injurious to our cause. I
have never made any such statement
as he attributes to me. On the con-
trary, [ am for that policy which
alone can give peace to the country;
and although Gen. Grant says "let MS
have peace" he seeks to achieve it
only through the military power and
actual war on the principles of the
Government. Yours truly,
FRANK P. BLAIR.

Some drunken white me,

Some drunken white men and ne
groes got into a difficulty at Hamp-
ton, Va. on Saturday night, and
quite riot grew out of the affair.
Troops were summoned to the scene,
and tho mob refusing to disperse, a
volley was fired by the troops, which
had the effect to scatter the crowd.
Several persons were injured in the
affray, but none seriously. Another
disturbance occurred the same night
near Hampton, between drunken SOL
diers and negroes, resulting in the
wounding of three soldiers and one
negro, and the capture of three ne
grOes.

THE CorroN CRop. The Mobile
yearly cotton statement puts down the
crop of the cotton States this year us
probably reaching 2,225,OOO bales.
This is q handsome figure, all impe-
diments and drawbacks considered.
AT present rates, this crop will be an
addition Of some $3.50, 900, 900 to the
substantial cash4producing products
of the country. It will go long way
towards the restoration and recon-
struction Of Southern industry and
prosperity. twill supply the South
ern people with thousand things
which they want, while the North,
in supplyingtheir wants, viii reap o
large share of the profits. This is
practical reconstruction, and it is but
the beginning ofwhat we may expect
from Southern agriculture with the
final settlement Of the negro question.

cftGlftn 10 gosa<1aeHz Merchant s--i.rhe
PEoaperts ar Trade -
The New York Times says: We
have inquired Of some of the leading
merchants of the city, as 70 the meet
ing announced by a Btoo ooltIyn paper
Eto have ibeen held lby merchants of
New York, with respect 70 credits to
begiven TO Southern merchants, and
learn that they knew nothing OF the
affair. II it had any existence at all,
certainly it was not attended by any
considerable number. Indeed, there
is this marked feature about the
action of the largest houses in the
trade, that they move on in their
respective spheres on their own in
nate strength, without regard to the
action aof their contemporaries in
trade, and Without consultations of
any description. Their strength con-
sists in individual accuracy of jndg-
ment, and in the habit of acting
promptly and strongly on their own
separate views Of policy. The idea
of fixing q rule at o meeting of mer-
chants, TO guide their distinct action
in particular cases of credit, is simply
preposterous.2 Each case would stand
on its own merits, and would need to
be decided by the standing of the
dealer, for which no special rules
could be prescribed. -
= All who are familiar with the trade
Of the city, know full we'll that there
are he uses at the South whose stand
ing from long before the war has been
high, and who can purchase at any
establishment in the city all that they
desire; for it is we'll known that their
self-imposed limits are always on the
side Of prudence rather than of ex-
travagance, and that no skill, in
drumming, or any persuasion of sell
ers, could lead them from the path of
accustomed safety. It is as to new
houses that scrutiny is employed;
and as to those the rules of dealing
with them are as various as are the
degrees of prudence exhibited in
other transactions. Credit is not
given by any geographical rules, but
according to the standing and merits
of each applicant. -

and is well founded, that the South,
which is always represented here by
its merchants, will be larger con-
sumner of staple goods than it was last
year, because its crop of food is
abundant for its own wants, with
some perhaps to spare, and its crop
of cotton will furnish it with the
means to obtain extensive supplies.
The qualification is widespread that
this condition has been reached, and
that all relations, commercial, social
and political, will soon be restored
on what promises to be firm and
lasting basis.
2 The New York Journal Of Com
n'erce, referring to the above, says:
It turns out now that the repre-
sentation is wholly false. We have
inquired personally of "the leading
dry goods firms of New York.. and
they declare that they never heard of
this meeting, until this paragraph
was published; and that they pro-
pose to make no change whatever in
relation to their custom in the South
ern States.
