- Silver Springs, Florida, is one of the

fertile country in the State. 1t bubbles
up in q basin nearly one hundred feet

one hundred feet wide, and extending
six to eight miles to the Oclawaha River.
In the spring itself sixty boats may lie

which three steamers run regularly
from the st. Johns, making close con-

It's stated by persons who profess to
know that the National Republican
party will send speakers into this State
during the coming canvass to stump for
such candidates as may be run in the
different counties of the State. The OBJ
;ect of this is evident. The Republicans
intend to keep up the courage of their
party in this State if possible, for by a
union of the Republicans they hope by
means of divisions among the Democrats
to secure the Legislature, and thereby
pave their way to success next time, as
well IS secure a Republican successor TO
Patterson in the United States Senate.
Another object they will have is to Sc
enre, if possible. heated campaign in
some of the counties. which they expect
to result in difficulties, which will furnish
fresh material for the outrage mill, which
has been idle in consequence of the good
order maintained by Gov. Hampton's ad-
ministration. They expect to run the
Presidential race upon the Southern
question, and unless they can secure out
breaks and the death of some colored
qotess, they realize the fact that their
chances for success are small. The line
of canvass ip this State will most proba-
bly be dictated and controlled by the ad-
ministration politicians in Washington,
and will not Be fully developed until the
meeting of the Republican State Conven-
zion ip August. There Is, ho%sseF'
aothing to be feared from these sources,
! If tbs Democrats throughout the State
remain as firmly united as they are at
tt,;r tirnae..--

Democratic Prospects.
CnIIrMRIA s q Mnv 9.

COLUMBIA. S. G., May "a.
Col. ]. II. Rion, member of the Ma
tional Democratic executive committee
from this State, arrived here tonight
from Washington. The meeting of the
committee there was we'll attended, 35
States being represented. New York
and some Southern States did not ap-
pear. No doubts were expressed in re-
gard to Democratic majority for the
next Congress, both Senate and House.
The committee think that Grant will
be run by the Republicans in 1880, as
capitalists, communists and fanatics can
unite OH him. No Democratic candidate
has been definitely indicated. Thurman,
Hancock, Hendrix, and Mcclellan were
named. Governor Hampton was men,
toned as the favorite for Vice President.
The committee endorse the Potter reso-
lutions, but discountenance any attempt
to unseat President Hayes. They only
desire to expose fraud and prevent 6
repetition of the same in the future.
The committee will publish no address.

Letter from Gen. Grant.

The following Washington dispatch,
sent by Mr.. Keim last night, will be of
interest to the friends of ex-President
Grant: "a private letter, dated at Paris
and Just received, from e1-President
Grant, after alluding to the critical con-
dition of the political affairs of Europe,
but expressing the confident belief that
the interests of peace, so strongly felt by
all the Powers threatened by a disturb
ance of friendly relations, will bring a
satisfactory solution of existing compli-
cations, says that he is still uncertain
what stay he may yet make in the Old
World, but thinks that he can prolong
the absence for at least another year,
though in the midst Of all the interesting
scenes and experiences incident to his
visit, and the attentions which he has
received from the ruling classes as well
as the people, and from municipal and
civic bodies, he often longs for the day of
his return to his native land. He says
that the attentions which he has received
have convinced him of the real admira-
ton which the whole people of Europe,
rulers and subjects, have for the great
ness, enlightenment, power and progress
of the United States, aud that these at
tentions he appreciates are designed
more as token of respect for his coun-
try than a personal testimonial to him
self. In the same light he regards the
numerous ceremonial gifts, which have
been extended to him, modestly alluding
to them in letter not long since, as
compliments more to my country than to
myself" In reference to the political
outlook in The United States, he says
that there il yet q great work to be ac-
complished, and the exceptional condi-
tions which exist in the present and
Immediately retrospective relations of
parties will yet demand an important
struggle before the political status of the
country can be regarded as permanently
established within the bounds of legiti-
mate and safe political issues and party
feelings. As for himself, he says that
he has done his share in the public ser
vice, eight years in military command,
and eight ysars in civil administration,
and he hopes to return home after anoth-
er year to enjoy the quiet of private life
and the society Of his friends for the
days yet remaining of his life. He
seeks no new responsibilities of public
service and will decline them persistently,

Hon. john Sherman, Secretary of the
Treasury, was one of the Visiting states
men" who went to Louisiana to see Mr..
Hayes put into the Presidency to which
Mr.. Tilden was elected. He is wrathy
over the proposition to investigate, and
writes letter to the Potter Committee
demanding the right to have counsel on
all points touching his connection with
the count, and offering to prove that the
returns of East and West Felicianna
Parishes were properly counted. This is
a large undertaking, and the privilege
will no doubt be extended to him.

The indications of war in Europe are
growing gradually less, and it is now
pretty safe to concluded that peace will
be made without further .bloodshed, on
the basis of a reference of the treaty of
San Stefano to Congress of the Eu-
ropean powers. While the arrangements
for this settlement are being agreed upon,
however, both England and Russia are
busily preparing for war, and each will
be most thoroughly ready for the con-
flict which each is afraid to begin. This
mutual thorough equipment for war is no
doubt the cause that will secure peace
full settlement. Each country breads to
encounter the discipline and preparation
of the other and so they prefer to settle
their differences BY arbitration.

In the debate in the Senate about
placing Gen. Grant on the retired army
list, Blaine us usual attempted to taunt
Senator b. Ii. Hill, of Georgia, and was
crushed by the, following noble reply,
which fell from the eloquent Georgian's
lips, amid the loudest applause: "F'or
those who fought and fought only while
there was war, the American people can
never have too much respect. For those
who fight and fight only in time of peace,
the American people can never have too
little respect."

which it had best let alone, as its denun-
citation will not hurt the South Carolina
press, nor can its praises add anything to
the reputation of the Springfield RepuJ-
hcan. The Constitution may not have
comprehended the ofense in the Repu6-
Rcan's article, for it is perfectly clear
that it does not understand the remarks
of the South Carolina press which it
terms "abuse."

After the Senate amended the bill to
retire Gen. Shields upon the salary of a
Brigadier-G General, by adding section
to retire Gen. Grant upon the salary OF
General of the armies of the United
States, Senator Thurman moved to
amend by substituting bill to grant
Gen. Shields a pension of one hundred
dollars per month. This motion ELECTED
spirited debate, and was finally defeat
ed by q vote of 33 to 81. The bill then
came up for third reading, and was de-
feated by vote of 81 to 30. We are
surprised to see that throughout the
entire matter General Butler of this State
voted against majority of the Demo-
Gratis to place General Grant upon the
retired list with very large salary for
life. What reason can be given for such
vote we cannot perceive. Gen. Grant
is in the prime of life. He left the army
because he could get the position of
President, and he now has handsome
competence for himself and family.
There is no reason to justify placing
Grant upon the retired list of the army.

The New Internal Revenue Bill.

The internal revenue bill reported
by the subcommittee OK the Ways
and Means Committee, as shown in
its leading features by the Wash
ington correspondent of the New
York Bulletin, retains the tax on
bank checks; provides that no special
tax shall accrue by a person not
dealer, provided the spirits 80 sold
were taken as security or payment
for debt; that where a retail dealer
cells his whole stock at once he need
not take out Wholesale Dealers IL
ce, Sc; that every fraction of gallon
Of spirits shall be taxed; more rigid
scrutiny and heavier penalties re
required; the registration of cigar
makers is abolished; cigarettes shall
be put up in packages or parcels con-
tanning 10, 20, or 100 each, and
stamped and imported cigarettes
must be packed and stamped in the
same way; scraps, cuttings and clip,
pings Of imported tobacco may be
withdrawn in bulk upon payment of
duty, and manufactured without
paying the internal revenue tax until
after it's manufacture into finished,
taxable product ready for the con-
sinner. The whole of section o.,
fixing the transF ortation and
export bonds, is repealed, and
provision made that where tobacco
is exported not tax paid the bond
may he cancelled as coon as the
packages are delivered and entered
on the ships manifest. The bank
tax is to cease where q bar k goes
into bankruptcy. The bill is MT yet
cncumbered with the proposed in
ceme tax, which will be the impor-
tant point for discussion.

suicide occurred in Wheeling, West
Va, Wednesday night. Henry -Doub,
q we'll known citizon of that place
who was once very wealthy, shot him.
self through the heart. He had been

with his second wife, who turned him
out of the house, and is said, to have
commenced leading dissolute life.-
Late Wednesday afternoon he showed
a revolver to friend and said he in~
tended to kill himself on his frst wifo's

One night, Jamie, for that was the

about his eyes, just as there is some
times when they've made mp their
minds to pop the question. And
Jamie came in and sat down by the
fire, just as be had done every Tues.
day and Friday night for fourteen
years, and he talked of the weather
and the cattle and the crops, and the
stock market, l was going to say
but no, they didn't talk about that.
And finally Jamie says, "Jennie,
I've known you a now for - long
time"
Yes, jamie said she.

like to-know you, Jennie.'

Diphtheria Cure-Save It.

A correspondent Of q Victorian
paper writes: "Shonld any of your
family be attacked with the Gephthe-
ria DO not be alarmed, as it is usual
ly and speedily cnred without a
doctor. When it was raging in New
England few years ago accom-
panied DR.. Field on his route to wit
ness the so-called wonderful cures,'
lie performed while the patients Of
others were dropping off on all sides.
The remedy, TO be 20 rapid, must be
simple. All he took with him must
be powdered sulphur and a quill,
and with these he cured every pa
tient without exception. He put
,easpoonful of -four of birthstone into
q wine glass of water and stirred it
with his finger instead of a spoon,
as the sulphur does not readily ANAL
gamate with water. Whom the sui
phur was mixed he gave it as a gar
gle, and in ten minutes the patient
was out of danger. Birthstone kills
every species of fungus in man, beast,
and plant in few minutes. Instead
of splitting ont the gargle he recon-
mended the swallowing of it. In
extreme cases where he had been
called just in the nick OF time, when
the fungus was too nearly closing to
admit of gargling, he blew the sui
phate through IA quill into the throat,
and the fungus had shrunk to allow
it, then the gargling. He never lost
patient from diphtheria.
"lf patient cannot gargle take a
live coal, put on shovel, and sprin-
kle a spoonful or two of -four OF
birthstone at a time upon it; let the
sufferer inhale it, holding the head
over it, and the fungus will die. II
rlentitully used the whole room NAV
be filed almost to suttucatinn, and
the patient can walk about inhaliny

room with sol pbur has often cured
the most violen, attacks OF cold in
the head, chest, ETC., at any time
and is recommended in cases of con.
sumption and asthma"
