There's Democratic Congressional nomi-

We haven't the slightest doubt that the first
part of his prediction will be verified if he
should chance to be elected.
Here's resolution that had better be re-
considered. The Macon, Ala, Democrats
met in convention the other day, and resolved
that they would have white men to rule over
them, sin spite of Grant, Sumner, Busted

that little game, aud threw up ther. hands at

The New York Bulletin says suspensions

gate nearly $3,250,0O0; fully two-thirds OF
these liabilities are connected with houses in
the foreign trade, some as exporters, others
as importers, while the remainder belong to
the dry goods jobbing houses. In each case
the dizziness of trade, and in some cases the
fall of prices has materially contributed to
cause suspension of payments. The Bulletin,
however, does not consider these failures any
renewal of weak less in the condition of trade
credit at large.

The tournament has sadly degenerated
since the days when the victor was privileged
to crown the queen of love and beauty, and
was rewarded by the king with some great
prize, such as baronial castle, or the pro-
ceeds of a special tax. Indeed, the only spot
where tournaments now flourish is in the
South, and even there they have fallen from
their high estate. As attest of this degener
acy we have the report of passage at arms

ject of competition was, not the privilege of
browning beauty, but the possession of ga fine

THE quarrel between Prince Bismarck and
Count Won Arnim, which has eliminated in
the arrest of the latter, is of long standing,
dating from the time when the Prince forsook
the Ymakerthun, the old feudal party, to
which Won Arnim belongs. While Won Ar
rim was ambassador at Paris, he wrote home
strongly disappearing of Bismarck's policy.
The letters were published, and the recall of
the ambassador followed. The government
claims that he neglected to give up certain
official papers when he turned over his charge
to his successor aud arrests him for retaining
them. 1t is suspected that these documents
compromise Bismarck, and that Won Arnim
purposed to make use of them in his cam
paign for a seat in the German Parliament.

Heath of Ex.P President Fillmore and Sen.
at0r Sumner.


Two distinguished Statesmen during
the past week have passed oft stage
of life, Millard Fillmore of New York,
and Charles Sumner of Massachusetts,.
Ex-President Fillmore was over seven
ty-four years of age, having beer born
in 1900, and had been for many years in
dent in 194S, and on the death of Gener-
al Taylor in 1860, became President, his
term expiring in 1853, his administration
was all uneventful >one, having been
controlled by Democratic majority in
Congress. He excited much opposition
at the North by signing the fugitive
slave law. Though not man of brill
liant talents, he possessed high integrity
and sterling qualities, and commanded
the respect Of all, both In public and
private life.
Senator Charles Sumner died at his
residence in Washington on NedncS-
day last, very unexpectedly after short
illness from disease of the heart. fle
was born in Boston, in 1911, and carly
attained cnlinence in the law. Tn 1850
he succeeded Mr.. Webster in the United
States Senate, and hcncciorth be the
free-soil agitation, which sowcd.t the seeds
of dissension between the sections. Is
teemed fanatic at the South. He WAS
doubtless sincere i'm his convictions, and
showed in his whole life that he cared
little for popularity. Since the war his
course has done much to concliate the
South, and to establish belief in his
patriotism and integrity. We should
hot forget that Senator Summers was
the only voice raised at the North, to
enrich that from the battle flags of tho
Union, the names of the battles of the
late war should be erased.

PooR HOUSE BURNT.-We regret
to announce the loss by fire of the
Abbeville Poor House, situated about
two miles from our town, on Friday
last. The fire occurred about II
o'clock in the morning, and is suppos'
cd to have originated from sparks
thrown out by a burning chimney
which ignitcd the roof A high
wind was blowing at the time which
extended tho flames so rapidly that
the house was consumed in very
short time. Nothing was saved OF
the furniture, bedding and provisions,
and the loss is estimated at $4,000.
There were twonty-six inmates, white
and colored, and these have been fur
nished with temporary quarters in
the chapel. The loss will impose an
additional tax upon our people.
