We learn from gentlemen who
came down from York on Tucsda y,
says the Chester Reporter, that the
Republicans Of that County held their
nominating convention on Monday
last. Sixty delegates were in attend.
ancc. On the iirst ballot for nomi..
nee for the position Of Senator, each
delegate voted for himself, ~ one can
didate getting as many as two votes.
Hannibol White, black, finally got
tho nomination. This is great i'm.
provcmcnt on the former Sen .tor from
that county, W. T.. Rose. For the
House of Representatives two white
msn and two negroes were nominated ;
! Ben Briggs, white, and Nelson DA
vics, colored, being two of them.
The names of tho others we did not
learn, X. J.. 9 ook was nominated for
Sheriff; j. II. Wallace, Esq, for
Clerk of the Court, and S. Hall for
Probate Judge.

Canning Emit,

The time for canning fruit is at
hand. Tin cans have been largely
used for both fruit and vegetables
but glass is certainly preferable. All
fruits contain more or less acid
which, in some cases, acts upon metal
lie vessels. Tin cans arc made with
solder, AN alloy into which lead large
ly enters. This metal is easily cor.
rodcd, and poisonous salts arc formed
1t is believed by many chemists that
persons have been seriously injured
by eating tomatoes, peaches, ETC..
which have been put up in tin cans.

An EX President on thC Stump.

kNoxyILLE, TENN, August H.
Tx. President Johuson spoke, by invi-
tation, last evening to q crowded audi.
ence, for two hours and quarter.
lie was introduced by Judge ". A. Il.
Nelson, who presented him to the au-
dienco as the peoples man, plain
candy Johnson"
Mr.. johnson said he was no candi-
dato for any Office. 1t was well in
times Of popular upheavul to take our
bearings, and sec whithcr wo arc
drifting. Recurring to first princi-
pies, he showed at length how tho
government had been driflingi from
constitutional moorings, and had be-
come the plnything of an irresponsi.
bic Congress-, at the dictation of d
n'urping executive. lie reviewed
Grants administrative with some sever.
ity, but still with moderation, charac-
teriziug Official gift-takiug as bribery,
and citing the case Of Sir John
Troncr in England. lie favored tho
ono term principle and tho election
Of the President BY the direct vote Of
tue people. Tho re election OF Grant,
he said, would be great national
disaster. ]Io accepted Greeley on
tho principle Of universal pressure.
Circumstances beyond human control
had limited tho choice to two men,
and patriots could not hesitate to
choose Greeley. 1t was no time to
say this or that is or is not my party,
but all should unite in saying this is
my country. The country must havo
reconciliation, restoration of civil
rights to all citizens, confidence be-
tween sections and reform Of tho
civil service. Ilo pleaded for ro-
turn of the ancient reverence Cor tho
constitution and official obligations.
Tho speech was we'll received and gen.
orally applaudcd.

or never secn on the Iodiana shore.

Rc(orm Assuming the Form Of an Epi-
drmlC Among the Public Thieves uf
South Carolina.
Ii the subject were not one so scri-
Gus in its consequences to the people
of this State, it would be amusing to
trace out tho causes of tho howl for
reform which comes from the thieves
and robbers, who have for the last
four years been plundcring tic State.
1t is the cry of "stop thief vocircr-
ously sounded by thieves themselves
Tor the purpose Of directing attention
from their manifold robbcrics. Tho
bell.dcg oft pack is Judge Thomas
Jefferson Mackcy, of morphine noto.
rioty, who has been engaged and wo
rtill believe is still engaged in tho
middle and upper counties of tho
State in launching rcd hot thunder
bolts against the robbcr bands whom
ho charges to be unmitigatcd thieves
and irrcdecmablc scoundrcls past
praying for, and deserving ignomini-
Gus graves. 10 show how pure and
nndetilod arc his motives, aud how
terribly in earnest he is in his labor
of reform, he proposes that the chief
OF the band Of robbers and plundercrs
should be made the leader in the good
work. lie advocates II. j. Moses

Moses, as tho Moses to lead us out of
the wilderness of fraud, corruption,
and everything else base, indecent
and dishonest. Wo suppose this
learned Judge is guided in his course
by the homoly old cdagc, that the best

ness by which II very wicked man be-
comes very pious onc--a rogue and
thief, pattern of honesty and an
cXemplar ofgood morals, not unfrc.
1ucntly produces startling effect on
society. 1t, however, sometimes
happens that the reward of such con-
duct in one, lead others to become
thieves and scoundrcls for tho sake of
becoming ropcutant aud of rcnping

| Shreveport, NatchitDches and Alexandria
| papers abocnd in complaints about the
| irregularity and delays of the mails under
the new contractor. The Natchitoehes
Times OF the sixteenth instant says:
For two or three months past the river
mail service from below has been rregu-
lar and unreliable, and, in fact, almost
nuisance The fault is evidently to a great
extent attributable to carelessless in the
New Orleans pOstGfhce. The mail is adver-
tised to leave that city three times a week,
and therefore should be regularly made up
as otten-say on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays, as previous to the recent icreeE-
larities. But We receive patches OF papers
in every stcle-sometimes one days papers
only, sometimes two, and not seldom three
Northern papers and letters come without a
city mail and vice versa There is no sys-
TEN, and consequently no regularity. SO
far, the New Orleans postotfice is to blame,
without doubt. For several months pre-
vious to the recent new departure"' the
mails arrived here with great regularity in
the respect now complained Of. Sundays
and Tuesdays city papers and letters, with
the Northern and Eastern mail as due,
came together: Wednesdays and Thurs
days mail the same, and Fridays and
Saturdays the same-giving evidence of
regularity and care in transmission by the
New Orleans postotfice.
In the matter of delivery at this point
there is greater cause of complaint. For
ins nee, to-day friday the New Orleans
papers and letters of Wedu esday, 6, Thurs
day, Z, Friday, 8, Saturday, 9. Sunday, 10,
Monday. IL. and Tuesday, II. are all over
due. and not yet received. The two mails
containing the dates Of the first four days
named have evidently gone up to Shre,e-
a. Il
in the course OF time. The last mail may
come in during the day, as, by the system
of averages it is about time for one to
'hit.'

don NcpS says Of him: -
Muster Percy Roseile. as the regal and
pretty Pppin, added another shining leaf
to the tiny chapet he was already declled
with. 1t is the distinction of this little gen
tle,nan that, while other infant prpdigies
had merely the power to portray them
selves, be embodes manhood His capa-
city consists in an extraordinary prematu-
ritv. He has an insight into age in ell it's
exTrtss;ons, strong or feeble. His OLD
Mn of tie Sea. with his palsied limbs
his f:.iteiing voice and his frost of soul
;,s well as frame, was a piece OF reality 80
striking that it became the chief theatrical
topic: and now in vivid contrast he emrrges
into view as sort OF 10 mature Harry V Ill,
with ii portly stomach, sagaclous eye, an
august deueanor and .aternal speech
that are quite as marvellous in point or art
and Just ~ dvering in point of pleasantly.
His assuInption of the unlucky monarch,
who has 10 struggle between the claims OF
an Overlooking pr-rogative and bankrupt
exrhrquer, has d sense of truth and humor
il, it that rises out of burlesque into the re-
riou of pure comedy. Had the entertain
