UIdrain9. --There is on our table n
paper signed by II of our leading and
most respectable citizens, pledging
Themselves in the most positive man
ner to go before the grand jLries of
the courts and have indicted such of
our property owners as rent their
tenements TO persons who use them as
houses of ill-fame. These gentlemen
say they will not pay any attention to
the occupants, but will. in all cases,
enforce the law on those who rent
them their houses. These gentlCm en-
have the law on their side, and they
promise to enforce 1t. They say they
intend to protect the society in which
their wives and daughters have to
move. We do join these people in
this appeal to tho better and higher
elements of human nature, and we do
ask these people to heed this solemn
protest of Il suffering and outraged
peOple.

THE STRAWBERRY CRoP, so far this season,
has not been encouraging. The yield has
not been so large by over one-third, and
the prices have been quite as poor as the
yield. The drought hes shortened the pro-
duct and greatly deteriorated the fruit.
But the heaviest drawback has been the
enormous shipments from other quarters,
which have come in competition with the
Peninsula crop. For instance, we see by
the New York Times of last Friday that
100000 quarts were received in that market
the day before May 3lst) and Of this large
quantity only 100000 quarts were sent from
tho Peninsula. The balance, 100000 qts.,
came from other quarters-from as far
south as Charleston, and as far north as
points along the Hudson river, above New
York. A steamer from Norfolk arrived
with 100000 qts.,-as many as were shipped
from Delaware and the Eastern Shore
while 10000 qts. were received from Char
lesion; the balance from New Jersey and
Long Island. The point under considera
ton is, have the growers of the far South
new and late varieties TO compete with the
crop in this section, or have the rain.
brought the fruit of the two sections
together; the lack of rain retarding the
crop here and the copious showers prolong
ing it in the South. 1t is clearly evident
that the two sections have run together a:
. never before, and the profit has thus been
materially reduced to the growers. Now
that the rains have come, however, the re
suit may work out more satisfactory. The
three weeks drought up to yesterday was &
terrible blow TO the crop in Delaware; the
maturing fruit was drying up on the vine:
and the growers were discharging theil
pickers. But the showers of the past As
hours have revived the patches and pro
longed the crop by at least week, it i:
thought. This prolongation may bring the
growers out all right in the end, if the
weather continues favorable.

EX-PREsIDENT GEANT BECOMING TALKA-
TIyE.-In reply to the congratulatory ad-
dress with which he was welcomed to
Manchester, England, on Wednesday of
last week, ex-President Grant INDUCED in
quite an extended speech.
" 1t is scarcely possible for me-" he said,
''to give utterance to the feelings evoked
by my reception upon your soil from the
moment of my arrival in Liverpool, where
l have passed a couple of days, until the
present moment. After the scene which l
have witnessed in your streets, the ele-
ments OF greatness, as manifested in your
public and industrial buildings, may be
allowed to say that no person could be the
recipient of the honor and attention you
have bestowed upon mo without the pro-
foundest feeling. Such have been melted
in me, and l find myself inadequate to
their proper expression. 1t was my origi-
nal purpose on my arrivel in Liverpool to
hasten to London, and from thence pro-
ceed to visit the various points of interest
in the country. Among these l have re-
garded Manchester as the most important.
Hear. AS | have been aware for years of
the great amount of your manufactures,
many of which find their ultimate destina-
ton in my own country, so l am aware that
the sentiments of the great mass of the
people of Manchester went out in sympa-
thy to that country during the mighty
struggle in which it fell to my lot to take
some humble part. The expressions of the
people of Manchester at the time of our
great trial melted within the breasts of my
countrymen a feeling of friendship toward
them distinct from that felt toward all
England, and in that spirit accept, on the
part of my country the compliments paid
me as its representative, and thank you. y
At the luncheon which followed, the ex
President was toasted, and replying said
that Englshmcn had got more speeche:

Daf-W euueSuay last. lnefe are about
80 graves in the various cemeteries of the
city, including 10 of colored soldiers, and
all were decorated alike. There is an asso-
citation of ex-soldiers in the city, and this
organization and the Wilmington Rifle
Company, headed by a brass band, marched
out to the graves. After arriving at the
cemeteries, the floral offerings were de.
posted upon the graves, during which the
band played the d" dead march" and other
solemn tunes. After the graves had been
decorated, the American Rifles were drawn
up i'll battle line, and discharged three
volleys over the graves of the silent sleepers,
who laid down their lives that the Union
might be preserved. The same programme
was carried out over the graves in the
Catholic cemeteries.
THE DELAWARE BoNDs.-Mr. Joseph G.
Grubb and the financial editor of tho
Philadelphia Ledger, take the ground that
our State bonds, payable "on or before
A. d. 1885," are not payable until that
time. The Ledger says:
These Delaware bonds have coupons
attached for the remainder of the time Ia
1885, showing that at the time of their crea
tion 1885 was considered the period ot
maturity. A bond is contract, whether
made by the Nation, State or an indi
vidual, and contract implies at least two
parties. This Delaware bond is simply q
contract made between the State and the
holder and as it is not perfected without
the assent of both, the natural inference
is it cannot be annulled or altered without
the assent of both. The point at issue is
do the words "on or before confer on the
State the right to redeem the bonds eight
years in advance Of the limit Of maturity
without the assent of the holder, the only
other party to the contract? We did moi
think So"

TAX COLLECTIONS.

The County Treasurer informs us that since
the 1st of this month he has received about
$4,000 of the taxes, which was paid in by
1856 taxpayers There are large number
vet to settle their taxes, and the Treasurer sug-
gests that all who would avoid the penalty
should be prompt in making payment during
the last days of this month. The law does not
provide for an extension oftime without the pen
atty attaching, and the Comptroller.G General
will not be likely to assume the power of ex-
tending the time on his own responsibility,
especially in view of the fact that the fiscal
year ends on the day limited for the collec.
ton of taxes.

THE FALL TRADE.

So far as we have heard an expression of
opinion by the merchants of Yorkville, the
fall trade has opened quite satisfactorily.
Trade was good last week, and particularly
on Saturday, though a wet, inclement day,
the various stores we're thronged with custo-
mers. One merchant says his sales amounted
to more on that day than on any one day
during the past five years. Trade has also
been good the present week. Our merchants
are we'll prepared with ample stocks to meet
the demands of their customers, and We speak
sincerely when we assure purchasers that they
can find as many inducements in Yorkville
as in any surrounding market. Our adver-
tisiug columns are bright with attractive ad-
vertisements, which the public would do we'll
to consult-remembering, always, that adver-
tisers are the most liberal dealers.

FATAL ALTERCATION.

We learn that on Friday night last, an al
tercation, terminating fatally to one of the
parties, occurred near the premises of Alex
ander Fewell, Senior, about two miles from
Rock Hill. AS related to US, the particulars
are about as follows: Two white men of the
hborhood-James Ingram and Robert
Rainey-had been to Rock Hill on the day
mentioned, and started from that place to-
gether on Friday evening. While on the
road, it seems that quarrel originated be-
tween them, and when about nearly opposite
Mr.. Fewell's residence, where Rainey was
employed, and where he intended to stop,
Ingram seized him by the neck with one hand,
