Speaking of the trouble going on in

IF we could escape theoretical and
impracticable issues growing out of the
war, Blaine's occupation would be gone
and the Inter-Ocean silenced. The
worlds wealth and intelligence would
not be diverted from Texas by all the
vicious forces Of a depraved public

debate that is hurting Texas, but the

lin considerable stocks, which enabled them
|stoskcop from buying III Liverpool for eight
weeks, from 1st of August to 26tb of Sep
tember, Oh on average beyond 80, 100 bales
per week. Now they are baro Of cotton;
|the Continental mills have greatly reduced
their stocks, and our mills also hold very
moderate supply. Not to let tho Liverpool
stock run too low, spinners must continue
Ito work short time aud to keep some of tho
mills closed, that Is, consume about 10, 900
ts:saYthe week, instead of $4,000 to 5000
Gales, full spindle power. This will, of
course, reduce tho stock of yarns and of
gouds, and must tell hereafter. 1t is thon
ovidcut that the new crop will fnd an cx-
ccllent domand from all quarters.
More especially as regards Texas, drought
has forced our crop in some sectious to early
maturity, but at tho expense of quantity
and staple. Generally speaking, the pros
poets at present do not promise u particu-
lnrly largo yield; many doubt whether it
can exceed or be equal to the last, which
apparently will reach 100000, perhaps
$3.50, 600 bales, and was estimated ut one
time at 5 5,5CV, 600 bales.
Continued large short sales have lowered
:he price of middling uplands hero to 118.
and ut Liverpool to g. against liz and 81
at tho corresponding period last year. 1t is
true, iu December, 1878, the price had
fallen here for few days to 8 13 lG, in
Liverpool to 45s, but, although it must be
we'll known, it may not bo Improbable to
recall to memory that this was owing to the
unexpected stupcnduous failure of the
Glasgow Bank in October, the suspension
of large East India houses and the stuppagc
Of a prominent Manchester 6ru. These
disasters brought ruin upon Manchester,
destroyed credit in general, aud for long
time greatly mpared-noy, took away,
linanci, facilities from the remaining East
India tir,Ds. Trade WAS seriously crippled,
aud consumption of cotton greatly cur
tailed to the end Of tho year.
Whether it is safe to tako last years
p,ces in December as guide, as seems to
be done in solho quarters, must be left to
the decision of our readers. Should prices
be forced down to anything like the decline
safely rcckoned upon. at present tue
effect of constant short sales and the consc,
quoDt necessity of great part of the long
interest to sell out at any price, for want Of
further margins, make itself severely felt,
and the market may possibly bo pressed
down still further, until the weak long
interest is cleared out aud before reaction
can cnsuc.
On the 10th of July 'middlng upland
ruled in Liverpool at 65d; now it is quoted
at 63. At that time cotton was represented
az being I'D. too high for Manchester.
Above wo find u reduction of j; the re-
naming will, no doubt, have latterly
accrued in Manchester, with tho prospect
of further improvement consequent OH
decreased out.turn and II favorable monsoon
in Iuda. Thus tho position of spinners
has materially improved, aud they will
probably coon work with a proper remune-
ration.

BAcoALAUHEATE ADDRESS OF REV. j. l..

Some ono has said, 'Let mo mako tho
songs of q people, and care not who makes
tho laws" With oven greater propriety he
might havo said, "Lct me educate the
children and | care not who rules tho
State" For who does not know that char
actor is formed in childhood and youth,
that home and school make men what they
arc? The education or non education of an
individual, phapcs his life, fixes his destiny,
and as State is mado up of individuals,
whatever affects the part effects the
whole. 70 us, as citizens Of South
Carolina, thcrc fore, the oauso of
education in the State becomes q
matter of primo Importance. Indulge me,
then, in closing up tho exercises of this

Carolina was fortunate in tho period Of
her birth, and in tho character of those that
nursed her. The early settlements were
made here after tho invention of tho printing

forgotten that Locke wrote tho first consti-
tuition for tho Caroinas) And tho people
who first found homes here, were not only
hardy and adventurous, but they had at

themselves well educated. This is shown ia

Symptoms of faDiseasedL Liver.

DAM iii the right side, under the
edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
OH the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss Of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
cral are costivc, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation i'll the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss Of men,
ory, accompanied with painful sem
sation of having left undonc some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of a prickly scnsa-
ton Of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that cxer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitudc
enough to try it, In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LlvER to
have been extensively deranged.

1t was drowsy summer day. The
wind was languid with warmth, which
seemed to make the day more depress-
ing in its influence on brxin and body
than It would have been if no breath
of air had stirred the dropping leaves
outside the open window.
Kitty Rayne stood at her desk in the
Treasury building at Washington, and
went through her work in mechanical
way. 1t was hard to keep her thoughts
upon it this sluggish afternoon, when
everything seemed ready to swoon tor a
fresh breath Of coolness to revivs it.
A great change had come into her
life aimee she gave back John Fenwick's
ring. A sudden collapse Of the bank
in which their money had been depos-
tied had LETT her and her mother de.
pendent on their hands for the bread
they must eat and the clothes they
must wear. She had accepted the
change bravsly. 1t needed some such
blow to bring out the strength of hor
character. A friend in Washington
had procured her place in the Treas
ury Department, and she had come
there, bringing her mother, who was
little better than an invalid. What
che earned was enough to keep them
and she was thankful for
that.
81 never cared for anybody else, she
said. | was wicked. 1 saw it all af-
terward."
"5ee here" he said, gently; and
she looked up and saw ring she had
given him back years ago. "Will you
wear it again, Katie y l haye had a
lonely life. II you would only wear it,"
She held up her hand. He slipped
the yellow circle on her finger, and
then and there, before the many Won
dering eyes, he kissed her. The wesri-
ness seemed to have suddenly gone out
of her face and life.
And SUSIE Vernon then know that
there had been romance in Miss
Rayne's life, and that this was the
happiest part Of it.
