= The Chester Reporter records the death of
Mr.. Robert A. Pagan, after brief illness. He
was a soldier in the Mexican war, and was Sc
riously wounded in the attack upon Chapulte-
pee. He likewise served the Confedcracy from
the beginning until the close of the war;
Alexander Y. Lee, Esq, the well known
architect, is about to make his permanent resi-
dence in Richmond, Va, where he will enter
upon the duties Of his profession. Mr.. Lee has
been favorably received in that city, and will
undoubtedly succeed in whatever he may un-
dertake.
State Treasurer Parker has informed the
School Commissioner of Charleston county that
there is no probability of his being able to pay
fund until the taxes have been collected next
fall. The commissioner has, therefore, advised
the Board of Trustees to close the schools.
"A circular from the Postmaster General
states that owing to the establishment of many
new post Offices throughout the country, in all
cases the name of the County, as the Post Of
flee and State, should be superscribed upon let
tiers, circulars, newspapers and other matter to
be forwarded by mail
The Northern papers are filled with glow
ing accounts of the Morse memorial meetings,
which were held in most of the cities and lar
ger towns throughout the Union. The occa-
sion was one tnat tOOK nOlQ OF the SympathleS
of all classes in all parts of the country. The
name of Morse will be linked with that of
Franklin, as a household world for all time to
come
1t is stated by Republican members of
Congress that the President is very anxious to
adopt an aggressive policy towards Spain, and
that he is only held back from precipitating us
into critical relations with that country by the
more careful members of his Cabinet. The
President, it is believed, desires to get up some
such excitement to popularize himself before
the country.
= The people of Florida are greatly excited
by a new phase of the Gubernatorial question.
Harrison Reed, who was deposed short time
ago through impeachment by the House of
Representatives, has proclaimed that he is the
lawful Governor, and retains the great seal of
the State in his possession. On the other hand,
Lieutenant Governor pav has possession of the
Executive Office and State papers, and contends
that he is the Chief Magistrate.
- The Charleston Southern CeN has seen
private letter from a trustworthy source, in
which it is stated that the South Carolina DEL
egation to the Philadelphia Convention had a
very, very briefinterview with President Grant
few days ago, concerning the displacement of
officials in that city and elsewhere. They
were not at all cheerful after leaving the Pres-
ident. They accomplished nothing, or in other
words met with reserved rebuff.

The Wheat .crop.

Mr.. R.. M. Burns, who lives near Pendleton,
sends us few stalks of wheat, averaging thirty
inches in length 1t is the same variety which
took the premium at the last Fair. Mr.. Burns
Informs US that the wheat crop in that section
bids fair to make good yield, and from other
sources we learn that the prospect is generally
favorable throughout the County. 1t is to be
regretted, however, that the reports indicate the
fact that only small area of ground has been
devoted to wheat by the farmers.

The Democratic Party of this State.

The Winnsboro Ners favors reorganization
of the Democratic party of South Carolina
and wants to see representation in the ap-
preaching National Democratic Convention
We cannot agree with the proposition just
now, and beg leave to enter dissent to the
agitation cf this question. 1t is preferable, in
our judgment, for the Democrats of this State
to allow the management of the Presidential
question to be manipulated by others, and to
keep aloof from all entangling alliances at this
particular juncture. Without the creation of a
Liberal Republican party in this State the
Democrats stand no chance of making their
power felt in the Electoral College, and it is
very clear to us that the reorganization of the
Democratic party, in aduance Of all other poht-
ical movements, would again cement the Repub-
licans in solid phalanx. It is barely possible
that division may be created among the Rad
icals, in the parcelling of nominations for State
officers; and in the event of split, the nomi-
nee of the Cincinnati Convention may take one
wing or the other of the Republicans. 1t would
then be time enough to consider the propriety
of marshalling the Democratic forces to the
support of the least Objectionable candidates.
We are strongly in favor of keeping. perfectly
quiet, and awaiting the results of the next two
or three months. The Democrats have been in
no hurry to develops their aims in those States
where they are in the majority, and it would
appear to be suicidal for US to attempt any
movement of the character indicated at this
time. Should the nominee at Cincinnati be
likely to win the race for President, we have no
doubt as to the formation of Liberal Repub-
liean party in this State. All of the leading
Republicans are not committed to the support
of Grant, and it is within the bounds of reason
to suppose that the rank and file would flock
to the banner of the Liberal Republican candi-
date, if there is a strong probability of success
on that side. In any event, the Democrats are
not likely TO lose anything by possessing their
souls in patience, and this course we would
earnestly recommend.

Another exhibition will be given at the Ma

gratifying. The proceeds of these exhibitions
are to be devoted to the purchase of musical

The Louisiana Nastiness.

Louisiana is in state of disgraceful anar-
chy, and Is begging piteously Of the authorities
at Washinton for martial law, or club law, or
even Lynch law as preferable to radical rule.
She has two legislatures-one composed of
the Grant and the other Of the anti Grant
wing Of the radical party, and the civil au-
thorities Of New Orleans are nearly crazed to
keep the peace between the factions The
Grant wing being confescsdy in a hopeless
minority, Grant lacks the courage to help them
with the bayonet while he doggedly refuses
to aid Yarmouth or the Legitimate govern
mcnt 1t is the next thing to .n impossible
ty that the present state OF things can last q
week longer without fearful bloodshed.
The muddle grows Immediately out of the
determination of Grant to have delegation
from Louisiana IN the republican national con-
vention in favor of his denomination; but re-
motely it IS the natural outgrowth of the
reconstruction infamy which the radical par
ty has driven like ploughshare through the
entire south, over every barrier of law and
right, setting aside the national and state
constitutions, mullifying all precedents hal
lowed by immortal usage, overthrowing the
ballot box by the bayonet, and delivering
helpless people into the hands Of degraded
and contemplate minority to be abused and
plundered without let or hndrance. 1t is
rad,callsm that has so debauched public senti.
ment, corrupted the fountain Of justice, ele-
vated tyranny and brute force upon the ruins
of freedom and equity, as to produce the pres
ent scenes in Louisiana as the Legitimate and
inevitable fruits.

Mr.. Congressman Snapp, who, to get the nom
iaation for Congress in this district, promised
everybody an Office, and to snapp off the head Of
every official in tho district that had been ap-
pointed through the influence of Mr.. Cook, in
the laudable purpose TO make good bis promises,
ran Unexpectedly against Mr.. G. W. Curtis
nicely framed "rules' for civil service reform.
Mr.. Snapp naturally became Indignant. His
eyes snapped fre-his kuuckles snsppsd-,n
short he snapped with indignation all over; and
on Weduses1ay, when he got chance to open
his head in the house. he just "went for" the new
rules, characterizing them as "a sunning device
of the Democrats to obtain a share of the Offices. !"
A resolution with which he prsfacsd his speech,
referred to the Civil Service Com missiener. a.
"These seven men called = Commission" and
their report AZ q "doeument called y report" :"
and declared that neither the House nor the peo.
PIE of these United States were in favor of the
recommendation for Board of Examiners to
permit men to enter the public service Mr..
Snapp has evidently got the President ever to
his way Of thinking, for the heads of the Cook
appointees have already begun to drop into his
basket.

Mob Rule in Chicago.

Chicago was the scene Of disgraceiul mob
on Tuesday evening. It grew out of a propo-
sltion in the city council to adopt fire ordi-
nance forbidding the erection of any more
wooden buildings within the city limits. The
ordinance was dlstasteiul, particularly to the
Germans on the North Side, and they hello
several meetings, at which intlammatory
speeches were made by the "King Of Prussia
in Chicago, Mr.. A. c. Hessing, and one or two
other dsmagogues. The result was, that when
the city council met on Tuesday evening to
act on the ordinance, the council room was in
vaded by mob of infuriated Germans from
the North Side, who smashed the windows
and furniture, and drove out the aldermen at
the risk of their lives If the city council
of Chicago lacks the pluck to pass the fire
ordinance after such an exhibition, the men,
bers deserve to be kicked not only out of their
seats, but out of the city.

Tho Catacazy Stink.

The Catacazy stink. raised in President
Grants kitchen cabinet, has reached Russia,
and promises to befoul the air of the two hem.
lspheres. besides purely diaper and dimity
feature of the case, growing out OF the fact
that the wife of the Russian minister is socially
calculated to Outshine the female branch of the
Grant and Fish establishments, it seems that
the Russian minister was specially instructed,
for state reasons deemed sufficient by Russia, to
cast obstacles in the way of the consummation
ofthe famous " High Joint treaty between
the L. S. and England, upon which Grant
and Fish had hung their hearts. His inter-
ference gave Grant and Fish such Offense,
Though England, which was equally interest
ed, found no fault that they asked the Rus
sian government to call their minister home,
which that government obligingly though
somewhat haughtily did. But Grant and
Fish, writhing under the rebuke of this cool
action on the part of Gartschakoif, must needs
write out q labored defence of their action
and send it in the shape of a circular to all
our diplomatic representatives abroad, while
the president had the further bad taste to al
lude to the petty squabble in his annual mes
sage Even all this boovishness the Russian
government overlooked but when the Grant
and Fish circular reached the Rev. Mr. Cra.
mer, who had been appointed our minister to
Denmark, with no other qualification for the
position, as Sumner stated in open senate,
than that he was Grants brother-ln-law, he
had the folly to insist on reading 1t at a dinner
party given by German minister in Copenha-
gen. at which the Russian minister was pres
ent This insult was so direct that the Russian
Prime Minister evidently lost his temper, and
he has sent note to Mr.. Curtin, our minister
at ST. Petersburg, which is, if not offensive, at
least decidedly pungent and saucy. He tells
Mr.. Curtin that the Russian government know
all about Mr.. Catacazy and begs that, after
complying with Mr.. Fishs request for his re-
mova from Washington his further punish
mcnt is a matter about which the American
government can, except with exceedingly bad
taste, have no further concernment. 1t
would be dsgraceful to human nature If two
such nations as Russia and the L. S. should
become embroiled, or even estranged, on &C
count of contemplate squabble like this.

expense of the country "be classed with other
paupers and supported in the same wuy-bv

Ottawa has been comparatively free from ague
for the last ten or fifteen years, and her bad
reputation in that regard OF the oden time
had about disappeared, until day or two
ago, when most frightfu shaking seized on
the radical officials hereabouts. The ague
that used to be most dreaded was called the
dumb ague-a sort that gave fellow al the
pain and penalties of vigorous attack, with
out good honest shake. Our radical officials
say that the present ague Is the d,tmbdea ague
