Light showers of rain and hot sun
shine spoken of in my last epistle con-
tinued up to last Sunday night, when
there was a considerable depression in
the temperature, when heavy coats be-
came rather suddenly comfortable.
The prospects for large crops of cotton
and corn are now most certainly the
best we have had at this season for many
years. People hereabouts are about
through laying by their crops and will
have a few weeks to devote to
politics aud pleasure. A large number
of tho sovereigns assembled here on
Saturday last in a district convention.
The secretary was instructed to furnish
you with the proceedings for publica ton.
The convention was decidedly in favor
of making such terms with the creditors
of the State as will be honorable to both
parties, and of bringing the public debt
within the ability of the tax payers to
meet it in a reasonable time without in
creasi ing the present rate of taxation.
They think that this question should be
settled finally and forever by the next
Legislature, and that the common sense
of both debtors and creditors, after a
full and fair conference, will enable
them to reach conclusion which will
be satisfactory to all. The convention
discussed the Dog Law and the nGIRbers
stood equally divided on the subject.
The merits of candidates we're not dis
cussed, of course, as 1t is not known
| definitely here that there are any aspi-
rants for tho position of representative.
As intimated heretofore, the people are
| fully alive TO the Importance of sending
one of our best citizens to represent as
at Nashville, In this connection your
correspondent is prepared to say that
| the nomination of no citizen in the
| county would inspire more confidence
| or give more entire satisfaction to the
people of tae first and tenth distrI cts
than that of Capt A. T. McNeaI. 1t
| is known to very many of this gentle
mems friends that he has so far per-
sistently refused to permit his name to
| be brought forward as a candidate, but
the people here and indeed all over the
county would be gratifed to have him
reconsider his determination not to be-
como a candidate. Then the Democracy
of Haredman would show themselves
faithful to the best interests of all the
people by hOnOring q most estimable and
talented citizen with a unanimous vote
of the Convention On the 5th of August
We are having bountilul supply of
the good things of this world in the way
of vegetables, fruit and chickens, the
latter of which are served at our hotel
fried, pied, smOthersd or in any other
way that would tempt tie appetite
of even q fastidieus editor. Come down
and try them.
The circle of our felioities will be
complete when the very large crop of
Chinese sugar cane now growing
in the country adjacent to salisbury,
natures and is concentrated into long
sweetening" The JOY Of the children es-
peeially will then be akin to that of older
heads when tina Republic shall be re-
formed and redeemed by the election
of Til len and Hendricks.
There is a lively canvass going on in
the frat district among the candidates
for magistrates. Four candidates are IN
the field, including the present incum,
bents.
Barbour Lewis spoke at Grand Juno
ton on Saturday evening last, and de-
. li7ered himself much In the same style
and discussed the same topics as he did
in the morning at Bolivar. 1t is be-
lieved that he will again be the Radica
= candidate for Congress, and if SO, the
Democracy will take as great pleasure
in accommodating him to defeat as they
would any other man
