Late advices by mail and cable portend
distressing winter for England. Coal has
enormously risen from the rates charged
last year. This Of itself would prove
hardship, especially to the poorer classes.
A writer in one of the agricultural papers Of
England estimates that 1880 900 acres of
the potato crop are all but destroyed, while
another equally good authority declares
that he "hardly ever remembers the
malady 60 general and the destruc-
ton so complete" In Ireland and Scot
land the crop Is also blighted, possibly
tot to the same extent as In England, but
sufr iently extensive to be severely felt by
the poor classes in both countries. The
foot and mouth disease among the cattle is
another canse for alarm. In Norfolk, in
Two weeks, the loss in sheer alone amount
ed Ia value to over one hundred and twelve
tho Isand dollars. Taking everything into
consideration, it is evident that the ap-
pro Oh of winter is regarded with feelings
If dread by the poor, hard-worked n-paid
,uschanics, laborers and working people of
Eng land, Ireland and Scotland.

FRANK CHEATHAM.


It is claimed that because Frank Cheat
ham is no orator be ought not TO be sent to
Congress. 1t would astonish those assert
ing this maxim to know that the best work
ing men in Congress are not orators, and
that those who make the greatest number
of speeches in Legislative halls are Of the
least benefit to their constituents.
Frank Cheatham is not professional poll
tician. He has always taken q lively
interest in public affairs. he has been a
volunteer soldier whenever the necessities
Of the country demanded his services. In
leace he has been an industrious citizen.
i'ossessing integrity Of character and that
Aind of talent which characterizes some OF
tie most useful men in Congress-plan
PRACTICAL common sense-he Is exactly
iJ6 kind of man to represent the South
IL Congress. he is no political 6rebrand
Who would array at once all the
elements of opposition. He does
not aspire 10 be an agitator at home or
elsewhere. Andrew johnson could have
driven Washington from the "Stump," te-
cause Washington never made speech. In
the zenith of his fame he once attempted II,
failed, and gave it up confused and abash-
ed. In framing the Constitution of the
United States the labor was almost wholly
performed in committee, of which Geors Q
Washington was chairman. In the con-
veUtiOn be made two little speeches of q
few words each. The convention, however,
acknowledged the master spirit, and his
torians affirm that had it not been for his
personal popularity and the thirty words of
his FIRST speech, pronoancing 1t the best that
could be united upon, the Constitution
would have been rejected by the people.
Thomas Jefferson could not meet the Ten
nessee "Moses" on the stump. He never
made speech. He couldn't do 1t, yet he
las left his mark upon the history Of our
country, and will be remembered long after
johnson is forgotten. The greatness Of q
man is not measured by the length and
lumber Of bis speeches.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.--A Washington
special to the Post says an examination
shows an apparent deficiency Of between
100000 and $4,000 in Johnston's &C.
counts, bat whether this viii prove an aP-
parent or an actual deficiency cannot be
ascertained until the examination OF his
books now In progress is completed.
The Commercial Advertiser states that
the defaulter is James j. Johnston, who
had charge of the Stamp Department.
Johnston was originally from Albany. He
has been absent some weeks, and efforts to
discover his whereabouts are uuayailiDg.
Johnston resided on Staten Island, and has
q wife and large family.
Unreleuting.
A Washington special says Attorney Ger
eral Williams has made reply TO Alexander
III. Stephens petition for the pardon OF all
the Ku-Klux confined In the Albany prison.
The Attorney General denies the allegations
of Stephens that the conviction of the Ku-
KIux was illegal aud that their pardon
would be an act of justice and iriendliness
toward the South, and says the pardon OF
all of them would have no more political
significance than the pardon Of those con-
victed Of violation of other statutes.

SOUTH CAROLINA.



A correspondent Of the New York
Herald, giving Sept. 8, the details of the
two Radical conventions recently held 10
Columbia, Regular and Bolter, says:
Sitting at the reporters table and looking
as calmly as 1t was possible under the cir
cumstances at the body, enc became con-
fused and began 70 doubt his very senses.
Every few moments the stranger In the
State House Of the metropolis of South
Carolina became lost In the contempla-
ton of the wild and rietieus scenes he wit
messed, the charges and counter. charges of
fraud and corruption he heard, and
the ever rapid changing African drama en-
acted before the eyes, and occasionally he
would fancy himself dreaming, until sud
denly the close proximity of pistols, knives,
chairs and inkstsnds, fourishing about his
head, would convince him that 1t was a
stern, though lamentable reality. Nor was
the State House the only place where as
founding evidences of this fearful demorali-
cation were to be seen and heard. Each
OF the candidates had chartered head
quarters where the African delegates were
fed on the choicest luxuries, drank the
finest W ines and liquors, smoked the best

wanting, when they wished to hold high
arrival in the hours Of darkness and night.
Middie-men were stragetscally posted at all
the hotels, rum shops, and even the bawdy
houses OF the city, actively prosecuting the
game OF bribery and orruption-some buy
Ing single voters and others selling whole
county delegations. Gen. Quincy, of
Charleston, approached a negro delegate
and asked him In q ocular way if he would
vote for him as candidate for Congress.
The delegate scratched his head and said,
after waiting while: s.But, General you
sint made no proposition, = meaning the
General had not offered the accustomed
peeunjary consideration with which al
other candidates. had approached him. ]

WALL STREET.
A Lively ScrImnaage and a Runnins
Fight.

A Lively SerlmnlRge and q Running
Fight.
NEW YORK, Sept. 18-The situation in
Wall street this morning was alarming.
The Germans held on tenaciously to the
Erie corner, and the Smith and Gould par
ty were eager for another fray. Tsey had
calculated the condition Of the importing
interests and found the squeeze in gold
brought down some ofthe heaviest iDlpor-
tiers In the city. They estimated the re-
sources Of the Treasury Department, and
felt certain the Secretary could not come to
che relief of the street. But there came in
dications that the Treasury Department
would not remain passive. At noon the
offerings Of bonds opened at the Treasury,
and the amount was found to be $4753,850
at ITO S76ll2-75. With more than
usual promptitude the announcement
was INSIDE that the Secretary
would take three millions instead OF one
million as advertised. This was an indica-
ton that the Secretary intends to be pre-
pared TO sell more than the advertised
amount of gold tomorrow, and thus aid in
breaking the corner in gold coin. The ef-
feet of these tactics was felt in the gold
exchange where the prices suddenly fell TO
113s, the lowest of the day. The rate for
cash coin dropped to lie per day against
4 per cent. this morning, and the gold oper-
ators breathed freely. Nothing more than
a running fight could be kept up in the
money market this afternoon. The turn Of
the day was so decidedly against the lock up
party, that the prices fell to six per cent,
though the closing rate was seven. The
Treasury purchases of bonds were made
all the more serviceable by the payment
being made in legal tenders. The high
rates Of money yesterday attracted much
capital to the street to-day, aud this was
supplemented by fresh supplies Of gold aud
consequently of currency. On the top of
this came the relief from the Treasury, and
the result is great disaster is averted. 1t
is reported that corner will be made to-
morrow in Union Pacific, G. c. and L G..
and Pacific Mail. Failures are announced
Of Howard, Innis 81 Co., and John NJ.
Smiths, Son s Co., the latter provision
dealers, for $4,000.
