SECRETARY SHERMAN ON THE MAINE
ELEcTIoN.-Secretary Sherman says,
concerning the Maine elections, that it
looks as if the Greenbackers would alb.
sorb the Democratic party, and that the
election might be the premonitory symp.
tom Of the readjustment of parties upon
new issues. The condition of financial
affairs were now such that the country
does not need any further financial legis-
lation. He would have accomplished
resumption some time ago if he had not
been embarrassed by those opposed to
honest money. The simple issue of two
hundred million more greenbacks, as
proposed by the Greenbackers, would not
help matters, as the greenback could not
be expended gratuitously, and could only
be paid out for the current expenses OF
the government, which were now amply
provided for. He did not think the re-.
suit in Maine would injure the Republi-
can party in Ohio, for the success Of
which he is very hopeful. He was con.
fdent of the party securing ten Repub.
lican members in the next House from
that State, Notwithstanding the outra-
geous gerrymandering of the State by
the last Democratic Legislature. He
presumed that the Greenbackers would
hold the balance of power in all the
States where Senators are to be elected,
and would be able to elect q sufficient
number of members of the next Con-
gress to enable them to dictate the or
ganizetion of the next House and secure
a majority of its officers Washington
Star.

THE GROWING GRAIN CRoPs.-Re-
turns to the department of agriculture
indicate an average of eighty-seven in
condition of the wheat crop against
nincty-two in September, 1877. The re-
duction is mostly due to disasters to the
spring crop in the Northwest. A pre-
liminary examination of the returns Of
acreage indicates that the breadth sown
in 1878 is about one.sixth greater than
in 1877. This will more than compensate
the loss from decline in condition, and
will probably bring up the yield to the
popular estimate of four hundred million
bushels.
The average condition of the corn crop
is ninety-two against ninety-six in Au-
gust, and slightly above the condition in
September, 1877, which was ninety.one.
The crop held its own in the northern
portion Of the Atlantic Slope, and on the
Pacific Coast it slightly improved, but in
the States north of the Ohio it fell off 2
per cent, and in States west of the Mis-
ssissippi, and the Southern States as a
whole, it fell off about 8 per cent. Nine
hundred and twenty-one counties report
ing, two hundred and ffty-two report a
full average, two hundred and seventy
eight above, and three hundred and
ninety-oae below.

7 met here (Newberry) yesterda,

Il met here (Newberry) yesterday
one colored man who was not set free by
the Federal Government, but who, on
the contrary, has paid for himself since
the war. His name is Richard Hunter.
Some two or three years previous to
the war he purchased his freedom from
his old master, paying portion of the
money in cash and giving an endorsed
note for the balance. Time rolled on,
and Richard worked early and late to
raise the remainder of the purchase
money. Finally the war ended and all
slaves were emancipated, but there was
still balance due by him. A year or
two later the note became due and pay
ment was demanded, but, owing to the
action of the Government, Richard re-
fused to pay it. He was sued and lost
the case. He then went to work with
renewed zeal, and at last earned enough
to take up the note and free himself
from bondage. He is farmer and
butcher, and by his 2oliteness and
steady habits has won the esteem of
the people. He has never voted, nor
ever had anything al all to do with
politics. He says thatif all the negroes
had to do as he has done, they would
have been Of some account and known
how to appreciate their freedom. He is
now pretty we'll off and has bright and
prosperous future before him.-C0lumbia

THE E0UINoCTIAL STORM.
Great Destruction of Property and some
Loss of Life In Virginia, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania and Ohio.
CINCINNATI. September Il.

CINCINNATI, September Il.
Advices from points in Ohio, West
Virginia and Pennsylvania indicate that
the storm of the past two days was the
most severe experienced for years. On
the line of the Chesapeake and Oaio
Railroad serious damage was inflicted.
A fireman, brakeman and engineer were
killed by washouts. A bridge on che
Panhandle route was washed away, and
a freight train plunged into the stream.
The engineer and fireman have not been
seen since. No trains have passed Stne-
berville on the Panhandle, Pittsburg,
Wheeling and Kentucky, or Cleveland
and Pittsburg Roads.
The Ohio, at Stusbenville, rose sixteen
feet in twenty-four hours, and eight
inches of rain fell in the same time, and
at Youngstown, Ohio, seven inches. At
8 o'clock yesterday morning, the resi-
dents on the streets in the vicinity of the
Mahoning River were moving from their
dwellings in boats. On Mahoning Ave-
nue. the water was eight fee. deep. Sew
like drift wood. The county commits
sioners state that the loss to the county
in ruined bridges will reach 100000.
The following have been almost totally
destroyed: Brown, Bonnel & Co.'s roll
ing mill Morse bridge works; Dingle
& Co.'s lumber mill Himrod furnace
and Andrews furnace.
At Mechanicsville, near Plainesville,
Ohio, dam gave way and a number of
Inundated So1apo q
bridge fell with an engine ard two cars
upon it. The engineer and brakeman
were severely injured. Near Alliance,
Richard Teeters, engineer of coal train,
had both legs broken, and his fireman
was severely injured by running into a
chasm left by bridge which was swept
away. The Kanawha River is higher
than in the flood of 1861, and is still
rising, overfowing portion of Charles
town, w. Va, and the Kanawha VALLEY,
sweeping with it the new steamer AG-
uante and numberless lumber RATS, &c.
WASHINGTON, September IA.
Dispatches from various points in Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and as far north as Canada, give
accounts of destructive gales accom-
panied by heavy rains, causing extensive
damage to railroads, canals and other
property, and in some instances loss of
life. Much anxiety is felt in Richmond,
Va, owing to the report from Lynch.
burg that water in the James River is
rising rapidly. A number of merchants
doing business in the lower part of the
former city near the river, are removing
their goods in anticipation of swamp
ing freshet. Staunton River bridge on
the Virginia Midland Railroad, between
Lynchburg and Danville, two bridges
over the Roanoke River, between Salem
and Big Spring, and one at Dry Hollow
on the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
Railroad, have been washed away.
A dispatch from Covington, on the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, says that
the Jackson River is higher than at any
time before, except November last.

Hon. John Sherman, the Secretary of
The Treasury, said in 1868 in a speech at
Mansfield, Ohio, on the national debt
that 'the man who would demand the
payment of the fve-twenty bonds in coin
is an extortioner." He now says that
any man yho would refuse to pay the
national debt in coin is violator of the
contract and a repudiationist. The diff.
ference between the Honorable John at
Mansfield and in Washington is that he
was speaking in 1865 in order to get into
.cfice, and now having gotten into suit
able position he is speaking to make
money. Truly times change, and some
men change with them.

The election in Vermont is over, and
is satisfactory to tie Democrats. The
vote of the State was light one, and as
usual the Republicans elected their State
ticket, but the falling off of their vote
was seventeen per cent, while the Dem
ocratic vote only lost eleven per cent,
thus showing the clear loss of six per
cent. of the Radical vote. The Green
hackers polled a much larger vote than
vas expected, and in one Congressional
District occasioned failure to elect.
Upon the fifth of November new cleo
tion will be held, which will result in
the election of General Barlow, the
Greenbacker, who lead in the last cleo
ton By decided plurality. 1t will GER
tainly be departure from the wonted
course of Vermont to send s mixed dele
cation to Congress.

Senator Conkling, of New York, is one
of the men of this age who, by natural
gifts and by Intellectual requirements, is
fully capable of being an exa-ted patriot
and eminent statesman, if it were not for
his overshadowing ambition, which
dwarfs his nobler qualities into mere
pigmies compared with his greed for
power and his ambition for success. At
one time he ranked as the peer of the
Thurmans, the Bayards and the most re-
spected members of the United States
Senate, but of late years his haste for
political preferment has induced him to
follow the disreputable course pursued
by his Republican allies, and by degrees
he has sunk in public estimation, until
to-day he stands before the country as
bitter partisan and seeker after mischief.
Since Mortons death he is the most
prominent agitator of sectional strife,
and has entered the present canvass with
the campaign cry of solid North to
contend against solid South. Under
his inspiration the Radical leaders of
New York have adopted resolution
calling for the Republicans of New York
to unite in order to carry the State of
New York and align her with her Re-
publican sister States of the North. 1t
is unnecessary to condemn the course Of
Mr.. Conkling, but it is important for our
people to understand the animus of the

Assistant Postmaster General Tyner
says that General Grant is, through his
friends, working up sentiment in favor
of Grant for President. and Postmaster
General Key as Vice President, thinking
that this will be the means of breaking
up the solid South and solid North in
1880. The result of such an effort will
prove gigantic failure, for, in the first
place, he could not, in all probability, be
nominated by the convention, and if he
should be nominated with Grant he
would not carry single electoral vote in
the South that Grant and Ben Butler
conld not carry as well. The solid South
will not dissolve on account of Mr.. Key,
nor indeed for any other cause. We
would as soon see any Northern Repub-
lican elected Vice President as to see
promoted Southerner like Mr.. Key,
who seems to have no stable principle
except to hold on to Office, even if it is
necessary for him to write degrading
letters in favor of the President, who
gives him position for the ayowed pur-
pose of making tool of him. Mr.. Key
is travelling over the country to ascertain
his prospects, it is said, for the Vice
Presidency, and if he has the practical
Judgment to realize his prospects he will
probably soon return to attend to his
duties in Washington, for he will find
that he has neither the confidence nor
the respect of either political party.

late promise that it should be q stump
mover and gulley washer" First on tine
list Of counties, Abbeville now stands
first in the list of the contests, and has
fairly blazed the way to overwhelming
victory. All stores and places of bust
ness in town and country were closed for
the day, and every township and precinct
was well represented. Over thousand
mounted and uniformed men, as ascer-
tanned by careful count, rode in the pro-
cession. Two excellent bands furnished
music, and detachment of the Ander-
son artillery fired salutes at intervals
during the day. Three thousand people
attended the speaking, and the colored
people were present in force, many riding
in the parade. Eloquent and earnest
addresses were delivered by Col. Sims,
Judge Hudson, Gen. Kennedy, and Coils.
Lipscomb, Aiken and Cothran, and the
enthusiastic and interested audience de-
manded more. Good order prevailed
throughout, and the celebration was in
every respect all that could be desired.
The spirit of '76 is abroad in the land.

HAVANA. September IA.

HAVANA, September Il.
a Cienfuegos newspaper published q
report, said to be of most reliable
character, to the effect that this years
sugar crop amounted to 525,4S5 tons, of
which quantity about 100000 tons were
consumed in the island and the balance
mostly exported to the United States.
The production of molasses amounted to
lOS, ,4S5 tons, of which the greater part is
exported to the British American Pro-
yinces and the United States. AS the
total of the exports from January l to
July 81, amounted to 365,ll6 tons of
sugar and 91,735 tons of mo'asses, the
balance remaining at the different ports
of the island must amount to 16O,36S
tons of sugar and 1860 tons of molasses.
