Internal Revenue in the Csroinas have sug-
gested and planned how frauds might be COM
mitted, so that those committing them could
be easily apprehended, division of fees be
had, and the offenders escape through some
technically of the law understood between
them and the government officers before en-
barking in the illicit transactions. Upon the
return of the President, Wagner's report will
be submitted to him, and it is quite probable
that Hayes will remove every officer in North
and South Carolina connected with the Reve-
nue. Department.
The Blue and the Gray.
The forthcoming reunion of soldiers at
Marietta, Ohio, promises to he a grand affair.

The Maine Democracy.
-- The Democratic State Convention Of
Maine assembled at Augusta on the 18th in
slant. Hon. VIM. L Putnam was called to the
chair, on taking which he said the financial
question was the all important one. He con-
sidered that the war had but just ceased, and
thar we now feel the inevitable results of that
conflict, viz. an inflated currency and over
powerful central Government Out of these
evils come corruption aud extrava 5ance. In
addition to these, ont of civil war comes ina.
bility of ravaged country to receive the
manufactures of more successful portion.
The longer war is kept up the longer the fever
and prostration.
The resolutions adopted affirm and adopt
the platform and principles of the St. Louis
Convention of 1876; deuounce the reversal
of the verdict of the American people at the
ballot box in favor of Tlden, as the most
monstrous political fraud recorded in history,
and assert that it must not be repeated, and
claim the restoration of the Southern States
to selfgovernment as an acknowledgment of
the wisdom of Democratic principles.
Hon. Jos. H. Williams of Augusta, was
nominated for Governor.
Indignity to an American Vessel.
The Secretary of the Treasury has in
formation from Captain Atkins, Master of
the whaling schooner. Edward Lee, of Prov
ncetown, Mass, that after cruising in the
Caribbean Sea, he went to the Keys on the
south side of Cuba where, after few days,
he was fred into by gunboat Captain At
kins says he was first fired at with round shot
and then with grape and canister and shells.
He then left, fearing for the safety of his ves-
sci and crew. The gunboat made no pursuit,
nor does Captain Atkins know the cause of
his being fired at. The Treasury Department
has taken measures to ascertain the correct
ness of this intelligence, and if possible to
gather further details on which to base a re.
port to the Secretary ofState in order that
the affair may be officially brought to the
attention of the Spanish Government. This
Government is naturally indignant at the
frequent occurrences of this kind, and is de-
termned to put stop to them, even if every
vessel attached to the North American fleet
has to be sent to the West Indies to give pro-
lection to American merchant vessels and
American interests in that quarter.
The Governor In New Role.
-- As will be seen from the following,
which we clip from the Columbia Register of
Tuesday, Gov. Hampton has consented to be-
come Granger for the nonce. and will ad-
dress the agriculturalists of Illinois on the
11th of September:
Governor Hampton has accepted an invi-
tation to deliver AL agricultural address at
the Winnebago county fair, which will be
held in the city of Rockford, Illinois, begin.
ming on the 1lth of September. Our readers
will remember that it was the Winnebago
county fair which invited Jefferson Davis two
years ago, and afterwards recalled the invita-.
tion, owing to the opposition manifested by
the extreme men of that section towards Mr..
Davis There has been a revolution in pub.
lie sentiment, however, and Gov. Hampton
has been urged most strenuously to accept the
invitation. He is alluded to in one of the
local papers as distinguished representa-
tive of the conservative element of the South,
who has restored the supremacy of civil law,
and evoked public tranquility from political
chaos" The Governor has received invita-.
tions from other places than Rockford, and
although it will be very inconvenient for him
to leave the State at the time designated, the
spirit and purpose of the invitation are such
that he feels constrained to accept.
