Congressional Election.

AS will be seen from our columns tnls
morning, the Congressional Canvas mas
assumed another phase in this Dlstr'c!'
We are glad that we now have Canoi.
date whom we can and will support
NEST cheerfully and earnestly.
General Echols has announced piat-
form that has our hearty appreciation,
and we trust that all who agree with us
will 90 to work for him. AS between
Harris and Paul we know that our
friends were utterly lukewarm. The
impression has been that Paul was Re.
adiuster Tin the heat and cool" from
conviction, and that Harris was only
using this and the Greenback "craze'
as hobbies upon which to con tinue IL
ride into place and position that willis
he was hugging the Re-adjusters ane
Greenbackers, he was winking at thu
Debt-payers and hard money men, as
to say, "you hold on and help me ant
we will wipe these fellows"
Some debt-payers and "good-money'
men have heretofore declared there In
tention Of supporting him as agains
Paul, on the idea:.that he was the choic
of two evils, but now they will rail-.
to Echols. Let the ball roll on now, W
have the issues fairly made and sharpl..
defined, and our friends will be recusan
to their duty if they do not at the poll
support their principles.
From what we hear from all parts {
the District the people are becomin
aroused on this Greenback question an
fear that it may result in second ed
ton of Confederate money and brin
ruin to us all.

American cotton goods are in fair
way to beat those of Manchester COM
pletely out Of the field in the Chinese
market. In 1874 American cotton drills
exported to China aggregated 2 $50 bales;
in 1877 the number of bales exported
amounted to 1852. In 1874 cotton
sheetings exported amounted to 1,135
bales in 1877, to IA, 461 bales. In 1874
cotton jeans exported to China amount
ed to zero, and in 1877 to s, 900 bales. The
Chinese are beginning to give prefer
ence to American cotton goods over those
Of Manchester, on account of their supe-
rior quality. They contain no sizing OF
chemicals, and consequently wear much
better than the Lancashire article, which
is heavy with adulterati0n.
And thus it is that the export trade Of
the United States is constantly inoreas'
ing, to bring the tribute OF foreign ma
tons to us. How completely the tide il
turning.

Hampton's Reply to Rice.

The following letter has been ad-
dressed by Governor Hampton to Gov
ernor Rice, in response to that recently
received from him:

COLUMBUS, s. c., September "A.
His EsceUency Alexander II. Rice, Co..
ernor, Boston, Mass:
Sir,-Owing to my unavoidable alb
sence your letter refusing Ito surrender
Hiram Fl. Kimpton, fugitive from JUS
tice, arrested in Massachusetts, for whose
delivery upon indictment found against
him here for crime COMMITTED in this
State, as Governor of South Carolina
made demand upon you as the Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, in accordance
with the Constitution of the United
States and the act of Congress passed
in pursuance thereof, has remained I'M
answered, / regret that the Chief Ex-
ecutive of the great State of MassachE-
sets should have committed SO fragrant
a violation of the supreme law of the
land-a violation irreparable In its ma
ture, as the State suffering thereby has
no possible redress. Had you confined
yourself to giving simple refusal to
surrender the fugitive should make nc
further comments upon your letter, as
the disregard by the Executive authority
of the State concerns the whole people
of the United States, but inasmuch as
you have seen fit to base your action on
the ground that in your Judgment the
object in procuring the indictment
against Patterson, Parker and Kimpton
does not appear to be for the purpose OF
trying Kimpton for the crime charged
against him, but for q different purpose,
it is my duty as Governor of South Car
DINA to add that your statement is en-
tirely unwarranted, and to repel the
unworthy imputation, as do, with in
dignant scorn.
I am, Your obedient servant,
WADE HAMPTON, Governor.

WHERE THE GOVERNMENT BUYS ITS
SILyER.-All silver bullion for coinage
purposes is purchased in this county,
Until recently large quantities were
bought in London. Now the Govern
ment can secure all the bullion it wants
from native holders, buying at the Lon
don rate. Most of it is purchased in
San Francisco and New York. 1t is a
little singular that, though called for in
the standard silver dollar, very few in
deed of those dollars get into circulation
in this way. The sellers take silver
certificates instead. In recent transact
ton in San Francisco more than three
million ounces of silver were bought by
the Superintendent of the Mint, who
gave in payment therefor check on the
Assistant Treasurer there for the bull
lions equivalent in standard silver dol
lars. The holder Of the check present.

as between greenbacks direct from the
Government and National Banks, no
one Knows. The true issue is, aboli-
tion 81 the National Banks and the SUBJ
stitutlon OF Greenbacks in amounts suffl-
cent TO restore the country. And here
l may as well state this will be one of
the nrst questions which will be before
the next Congress. How will the Gene
raj vote on that? or can he vote at all ?
ior the 18th Rule of the House reads.
NO MEMBER SHALL VOTE ON ANY
QUESTION IN THE EVENT OF WHICH HE
Is IMMEDIATELY AND PARTICULARLY
INTERESTED" Now as the General is
President and stakeholder of q Nation
al BANK, with salary, is he not so inte-
rested that he could not vote on q ques-
ton to abolish his own Bank and his
precuniarH office. Upon seeing the rule
and It's pr riety, thegeneral will have
TO withdraw from the Bank or from the
Canvass.
l think it Is sufficient to show this at
least, that the General is not in q posi-
tlon 10 be an impartial Legislator in q
contest between the people and the great

Judgement would be warped by that in
1uence, for his own line Of thought

ton.
TO further illustrate my views on the
question, I give another extract from

For the SR1CTATOR.
Letter from Mt. Sidney.

No apology need be made for letter
coming from this place on account of a
neglected community, inasmuch as our
vicinity has been frequently heard from
recently. Yet we doubt whether all
have correct conception of the size Of
our village, as may be Illustrated by the
remark Of lady Of Staunton, who came
down on the excursion Tuesday night,
that ''she had no idea that Mt. Sidney
was half so large as it is"
We give all cordial invitation to WIS.,
it Mt. Sidney, which will give them a
better idea of the place, than could we,
were We to attempt to give description
of it.
Our town, not unlike all other towns,
assumes more animated aspect, as the
hot summer months pass away and the
cool evenings and frosty mornings make
their appearance.
Merchants are beginning TO replenish
their stores with supplies of fall and
winter goods. Mr.. B. F. Miller, former
ly of Augusta county, but lately of Ma
ryland, has leased the store-room and
depot of Mr.. G.. P. Sheets, and will
shortly have full stock Of goods, by
which time we hope the agency will be
taken at this point. The want of the

inconvenience to shippers.
Owing to the deficiency existing in
the school fund, it is thought our school
cannot be conducted as heretofore. The
loss of the school is to be much regretted.
The Lawn Party, given by the ladies
Of Mt. Sidney and vicinity, for the ben
eft of the NJ. 3. Church at this place,
was one of the most successful that has
been held. Everything was bountifully
and artistically arranged. The open
ground was handsomely laid off in a
square, with an entrance beautified by
evergreens. Six beautiful booths, erect
ed OF evergreens, enclosed the square,
in the centra of which was the speakers

minated by Chinese lanterns and fire.
brands. The presence of the Stonewall
Band added greatly to the interest OF
the occasion.
The Hon. j. T. Harris was present
and made ap earnest appeal In behalf
Of the church.
Judge O'Ferrall, who was expected to
be present, an account of the illness of
Mrs. O'Ferrall did not come.
Delicacies of every description were
served by the ladies.
4 cake Vas voted to the Belle Of the
Evening, Miss Mollie e. Watson, and
also bouquet to Miss Fannie Shumake.
The presentation speech was made by
2. A. Baylor, Esq, of Staunton. His
speech was ornate, appropriate, and
eloquent. The bouquet, which was of

handsome sum of five dollars. The

We do not wish to make any invidi-
