Laying the Wires.

j. II. Randall, writing from Washing
ton to the Augusta Chronicle, has this to
say of the Presidential prospects as far as
Ohio plays ''pivot:"
1t is currently believed here that an
agreement has been arrived at between
Thurman, Ewing and Rice, whereby the
first Is to be pushed for the Presidency,
the second for the Senate, and the third
for the Goyernorship, by succession. Of
course the defeat of Ewing would throw
all this fat in the fire, but the Democracy
are not just now calculating upon defeat,
except indeed that cabal of the party
which centres around Mr.. Tilden in the
East, and which will knife Gen. Ewing,
if it can, just as it ruined William Allen
few years ago. Already members of
this clique begin to sneer Mt Ewing's
poverty, rs if it were disgracefnl, forget
iul that the poor are now in the majority
and that the honest indigence of this no.
BILE patriot is more to his credit than the
enormous wealth of John Sherman, who
in the language Of Lucen Bonaparte, has
| fattened upon 1.-THE sweat OF the poor and
the blood Of the brave" In this connec-
ton, l may rs we'll observe that upon
Ewing's triumph or defeat hangs the fate
of Allen G. Thurman. A Democratic
success of any magnitude in Ohio means,
most probably, the Presidential nomina-
ton of Mr.. Thurman. Democratic disas-
ter is the burial of his ambition. In the
latter event, New York looms up as the
pivotal State. and, whether we like it or
not, the nominee must be sought in the
East, since that will be the last ditch OF
the contest. Wherefore it is very plain
that immense issues depend upon the
Ohio campaign, and that Ewing has to
combat the foe without as we'll as the en-
emy within the citadel. The result is
doubtful; and yet the people of Ohio
may be preparing surprise for the
country just as the people Of California
did. If that bo so. centralism will go to
pieces, as the ice dissolves in the Neva
when summer waves her sunny wand
over the long winter of Russia.

DEATH OF r. LoNAT FRAsEE, OF
GEoRGETowN.-Tne community w.s
painfully shocked, and suddenly thrown
~ state of bereavement to-day by the
announcement of the untimely death of
Mr.. r. Lovat Fraser, the only son of the
Hon. Robert 2. Fraser, the intcndant
and banker. The mournful and dread
ful event occurred about | l O'Clock a. M,
at his fathers residence, where he lived,
by shooting himself with a pistol, the
ball entering his left breast and passing
through the heart, causing death within
half hour.
s. t. Atkinson, trial jus zee, empanell-
cd IL jury, with George Il. gddon fore
man, and the following verdict was rem
dered: "That the deceased, r. Lovat
Fraser, came to his death by pistol
shot wound, inflicted by himself, and in
the jury's orinion, while in state of
mental alteration"
The generous and kind nature of tho
deceased friend, and his congenial man
ners, had collected for himself in this
community host Of warm friends. He
is highly thought of where he is known.
Not long since he was connected with
the Georgetown Times as one of its edi-
tors. In that capacity he discharged his
duties manfully and fearlessly, thereby
gaining admiration from all. He leaves
a young and devoted wife ard two love-
ly little children to mourn their loss. He
departed this life at the youthful age of
about twenty.eight years.-C5r. Nelrs

The Republican party Of to-day has
scarcely o yestige OF the original princi-
pie of the party. When it first rose it
did have policy, and did adhere closely
TO well-de6ned doctrine cf national
government, but to-day it is o waif
which seeks TO ride the highest wave,
and to do so changes its position as often
as may be necessary It may h. of some
interest to show the view of the party in
1860, in reference to the doctrine of
State rights and military interference, as
defined by the Convention which nomi-
mated Abraham Lincoln, which is clearly
shown by one of the planks of its plat
form, which was as follows:
Rssolced, That ihe maintenance invio-
late of the rights of the States, and es-
pecially the right OF each State to order
and control its own domestic institutions
according to its own Judgment exclusive
iy, is essential to that balance of powers
on which tho perfection and endurance
of our political fabric dependa; and we
denoance the lawless invasion by armed
force of the soil Of any State or Terrific
Ty, no matter under what pretext, as
among the gfaycst Of ctimes.
This Is considerably at variance from
me position o: Biaine, Conkling and
Chandler to-day. They wtsk to keep
alive tho taSmoil and Strife which has
promoted their selhsh5 ambition, and
hence are aligned against state righta
and freedom from military indifference,

THE PRESS ASSOCIATION.

About twenty members of the Press
Association met in Spsrtanburg on the
10th, and early in their session received
an invitation to visit the city OF Atlanta.
This invitation was received through q
special committee of five, consisting of
Mr.. Calhoun, Mayor of Atlanta, Mr..
Hewe!l, of the Atlanta Constitution, and
others. The committee was made the
more honorable by the presence of Geor-
gia'e worthy Governor, Alfred H. Col
quit, who pressed the invitation in earn
eat, fitting words. Col. Foreacre, Prcsi-
dent of the Air Line Railroad, appeared
with the committee to assure tho mem
bers of the Press that the Airline Road
was ready to serve them at their chosen
tiIne, free 9: charge. The invitation was
accepted, and Friday, the 18th, made the
set time, and Gov. Simpson invited to

THE MILITARY PARADE.
On Thursday, the 18th, martial music
ana brave soldiery made the streets of
Sparianburg lively. There were about
seven companies on parade infantry,
cavalry and q small detachment of artil-
lery. The Gordon GTeys Cavalry drew
up In front Of the Palmetto House, and a
beautiful flag, wrought by tender and af.
fectionate hands. presented by Governor
Simpson with stirring words, such as pro-
woke Democratic "yells." The review
took place on the public square, and
speeches were made by Maj. D.. R.
Duncan and Governor Simpson. The
soldiery then formed mot ca streak OF

the Central Hotel, and Gen. Noise made
a very encouraging address to the gallant
defenders Of South Carolina liberties.
The Governors speech set forth the
dangers incident to State government,
and urged the Importance Of being pre-
pared for eny emergency, and expressed
the desire that the State should equip it's
military force. He was, however, hope

SUMTER, June 1G.
Mr.. w. G. McCutchen, young white
man about 81 years of age, died this
morning from the effects of five wounds
inflicted with pistol by Jack Rodgers,
also white, and about "a years of age.
Both men are Of very respectable famil-

about year ago. The history of tho
shooting is as follows:
On Saturday last Rodgers sent Nc
Cutchen word that he was coming to the
base ball club, of which McCutchcn was
a member, on Saturday, to whip or kill
him. After playing the game, McCutchen
started for some water, the well being one
hundred and fifty yards off. When he
was returning, and was about half way
between the we'll and the base ball ground.
accompanied by Mr.. Tom Hatcher, he
was met by Rodgers, who said that he
wanted word with him. Hatcher walk
ed on short distance. McCutchen said
to Rodgers:
" am informed that you intend to whip
or kill mo to-day, and that you say that
you backed me out a year ago, and have
given it the lie, and now reiterate it, and,
as these threats have been made by you,
there is no better time than this to fight
it out" Rodgers said: "I won't ght
YOU" McCutchcn having started off,
Rodgers said: 81 will fight you," and
started to pull off his coat. NIcCutchen
pulled off his coat, and while in the act
of laying it on the ground was fred upon
by Rodgers, the shot taking effect in the
left arm. McCutchen advanced and seized
the barrel of the pistol and had tussel
with Rodgers. Rodgers, succeeding in
wrestling the pistol from McCutchen's
grasp, shot him in the thigh. McCutch-
en- fell over, catching, with his hands, on
his knees, Mt which time Rodgers fired
again, the shot entering the lower portion
of the stomach. McCutchen dropped TO
ground, and two shots moro were fred, on
ly one of which took effect. Rodgers was
then arrested and placed in charge of
three gentlemen, but, quite mystereusly,
is not to be found. This is from an eye
witness, o cousin of h1cCutchen.

The new jury bill before Congress pro-
vides that juries shall be selected by the
Clerk of the United States Circuit Court
and person to be appointed by the Cir
cult Judge from the principal political
party opposed to that to which the Clerk
belongs. The object of this bill is a
worthy one and is to prevent the shame
ful and infamous packing which has some
times been done as the law now stands.
The new bill also gives the Circuit Judge
the right to order the jury to be selected
in the manner in whicl, the State juries
are selected if he prefers to do 30. The
biz is, in our opinion, very defective,
and, If adopted. will not only carry poll
tics into the Courts to o certain extent,
but will do 30 in manner which will
give an unscrupulous Judge and Clerk
the power to continue the packing of ju.
riea Unnecessary. the Clerk, for instance,
might really be Republican, but vote
the Democratic ticket and claim to be a
Democrat, which would give the oppor-
tunity of appointing another Republican
for the other commissioner, and thus the
packing would still continue. The bill
proposed may afford D,'io relief relief, BIZ. b.. .he
whole system will have t. be remodeled
before a cure Tor the evil will be found.
