The tug is now to come over the States
of New York, New Jersey and Connecti-
cut, all of which States have Democratic
Governors, one of whom is the party can
didate for the Presidency, and one of the
most experienced organizers of victory in
modern politics. If there is to be ''solid
South" as is very probable, (unless bayo-
nets overthrow the ballot,) it needs only
the votes of New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut, with those of the ex-slave
and border States which are conceded to
the Democracy, and the total is 1888
three more than is needed to elect. Mr.
Tilden is not elected yet, but the skie.

Chamberlain came to Charleston last

lsEFOND question the greenback

a part of the policy that democrats

Apple Butter.

Pennsylvania is famous, among
other things. for apple butter, or
"strong apple sauce" as ii is called in
New England, and a Pennsylvania
farmers wife tells the Germantown
Telegraph how she makes it, as fol-
lows: Take thirty gallons of sweet
cider, that just from the press to be
preferred boil it down to one-third
Of tho quantity, then add together
about two bushels of pared, quarter
ed and cored sweet apples, about one
third at a time, judging as to the
quantity OF apples; then stir the
whole mass constantly with a long,
handled wooden stirrcr, reaching
down to the bottom; this stirrcr must
be from four to five inches broad at
the bottom, rounded a little to fit the
bottom Of the kettle, and have half a
dozen or moro half-inch holes bored
through ii. The mass must be kept
boiling and stirred until the whole IL
reduced to say one-half the original
quantity of cider. assumes a dark
color, and is perfectly smooth and
palatable. For this purpose samples
should from time to time be taken
out and tasted. When done it should
be put in jars, well tied over with
paper, and placed in a cool place
| Otherwise, it may "work" and lose I
great deal of its value.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 49,
Among the soldiers in attendance
upon the reunion Of the Army of
the Tennessee are some gentlemen
from Mississippi who have recently
seen General Mckee, the Republican
speaker, who was 40 brutally assault
cd. 1t appears that Mckee not only
had his head crushed in by a stroke
of bludgeon from behind, and was
pulled off the platform, but that after
he had been removed to frail wood
en- building, to have his wounds
dressed, more than hundred rifle
bullets were shot into the building
by the democrats in the expectation
Of killing him. This little shanty was
entirely riddlcd with bullet-holcs.
McKce's friends only saved him by
making barricades Of mattresses
around the spot where he lay, which,
fortunately did not fully penetrate.
The democrats will not be able tc
sustain their sensational statements
as to the concentration Of ten thou
sand troops from the Department o.
the Atlantic at Columbia. s. c., which
is made in nearly all the democrati,
papers. A staff officer Of Gen. Sher
man says tonight that such storie,
are mischievously false, as there are
less than 5000 troops in the entire
Department Of the Atlantic, which
bare available for any purpose what

FRAWoIs PREaToM BLAIR.

FRANoIs PRI0ToM BLAIR.
The distinguished journalist and
statesman whose name heads this
article, and who died at the advanced
age Of 81, years, on the 18th inst, was
the most remarkable instance in the
whole country Of longevity among
prominent statesmen. He was born
in Virginia in 1791, of distinguished
parentage. He was in the war Of 1872,
when mere youth. He was warm
supporter of Henry Clay in 1924,
when John Quincy Adams was chosen
President by the House Of Represent
|atives. He was invited by President
Jackson, in 1880, to remove to WASH
ington and become editor Of the Ad-
ministration organ, and, accepting
the invitation, he commenced the pub
lication of tho Globe. From this be-
ginning there ripencd between him
and President jackson a strong
friendship and close intimacy, which
continued until the death of Jackson.
In 1845, upon the accession Of James
X. Polk to the Presidency, Blair sew
cred his connection with the Globe at
tho request Of Polk, and was sue
ceeded in that journal by Mr.. Richie.
The reason for this change, ~ stated
by Polk was, that the harmony Of the
democratic party demanded IL. Aft
erward Polk desired to have Blair
return and take charge Of the paper,
but his invitation was declined, as
was also the offer Of Minister to the
Court Of Spain. In 184S Blair sup
ported Van Buren, for President in
the bolt against Lewis Cass. He also
supported General Fremont in the
famous campaign Of 1855. Since that
time, tho subject Of this sketch has
taken little Fart in politics, other than
to be the counsellor of his two SONS,
also distinguished statesmen, viz :
Montgomery g. Blair and General
Francis r. Blair.

The fact that the negro Williams,
whose sentence was commuted by
Gov. Brogdon, was to have been
hanged Saturday at Tarboro, calls to
mind the fact that Judge Moore, who
presides on that circuit, never sem
tences a man to be hanged on Friday.
He is disgusted with the old super

day, and in stopping the hanging OF

War Inevitable.

LONDON, Oct. l9.-The situation to-
day is quite as gloomy as it seemed
yesterday. There is indeed less ex-
element this morning on the Stock
Exchange than yesterday, but there
is if possible q profounder conviction
that a general war is inevitable.
The tone of the leading papers this
morning is not only depressed but
dcspairing. Leading writer's seem to
give up all hope that a general con-
flict can be averted. II is conceded
that no one can see the end of the
complications thould Europe really
be summoned to arms.
To add to tho excitement and dis,
trust it is just announced in London
that orders have been given that
