TIE VOTE IN THE HOUSE.
From the ~, Louis Republlcan.l

Now that il is settled That Florida has
elected two Democratic representatives to
congress, the two parties have an equal NUN.

states, with two states still in the doubtful
column--lndiana California. II the cleo
ton is thrown into the house by any chance,
u great deal will rest on the vote Of dc Ia
MHtJr Of lndlnna, Tho was elected by iu-
sion Of the Democrats and Nationala--half
Of the other representatives from that stats
beng Democrats and half Republicans. II

Fonia next September, Dc Is Matyr could
give them majority Of the states by single
vote, and vice versa he could give tho

stands but tits worth remembering that the
seat of one Republican returned f,om Indi-

legations Of fraud, so that if he is unseated
and his Democratic opponent admitted, thn
lndiana delegation will be Democratic

if California goes Democratic and the pres

GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY.

The partisan papers of both political par
ties continue the discussion which has almost
constantly been going on for the past three
years, as to the probability of Gen. Grant
being the next nominee of the Republican
party for the presidency. We rather suspect
that many of the Democratic organs fear that
he will be the standard. bearer of the Repub-
lican party in 1880; while the more stalwart
Republicans, who look more to the probable
success of the party in the coming struggle
than the mere advancement or preferment of
men, openly declare that Grant would be the
most available candidate, who could "neither
be beaten or cheated out of the presidency"
and that the Republicans will have enough
to do to find another man who may not be. !"
Of course, at this early day it is quite i'm
possible to predict with any certainty as to
the nominee of either party; and generally,
as has been our observation, those most free
ly spoken of in connection with the nomina'
tion previous to the assembling of the con-
vention, are generally least supported when
the votes are cast for nominations, the major
ity of the convention preferring men in COM
parative obscurity. This was notably the
case in the nominations Of Pierce and Lin
coin, who defeated opponents Of national rep
utation. 1t may be in the present instance
that Grant will be the recipient of all the
compliment and adulation until the meeting
of the convention, when, unexpectedly to him.
self as we'll as his party, the nomination will
fall upon quite different person. Nomina-
ting conventions, like juries are sometimes
said to be, are ghty uncertain" One
thing, however, is certain, viz: that except
ing Grant, whose requirements it must be ad-
mitted do not consist in either intellect or
mental ability, is the most available man now
prominently before the country in the Re-
publican party. The shrewdest Republican
leaders, much as they may deplore the fact,
know this, and to Grant they look as their
only hope Of success.
Although there are many denials, seeming
ly by authority, of Grants presidential aspi-
rations, yet it is a noteworthy fact that in all
that has been said upon the subject, he has
evinced enough Of the politician not to give
his party to understand that he will in nowise
decline a nomination. So far as his utter
ances, or more strictly speaking, bis owl-like
reticence may direct conclusion, with him
it is an open question, and unless, after his
return to this country, he sees for himself that
the Grant boom has lost its force, he will not

the export Of phosphate rock to foreign ports
were 1924 tons; tc coastwise ports, 72,496

grand total of 1894 tons; besides which
20, ,44O tons were received for local consump-

Miss Jane G. Wade arrived here on Satnr-
day, and left on Monday for Ebenezer, where
she will take charge of a school. +
| Mrs. Jane Hagins, Of Ebenezer, departed
this life on last Friday morning She was
quite an old lady at the time Of her death.
Rev. Mr.. Saunders, of Chester, has been en-.
gagged the last two or three days in assisting
Rev. Mr.. Edwards in protracted meeting at
Harmony Church. Heis an excellent preach
er, and full of zeal in discharging his minis
terial duties. The meeting at Harmony has
resulted in several additions to the church.
The rainy weather last week was damag-
ing upon cotton. Some farmers are of the
opinion that in consequence of the unfavora.
bic weather during the present month, the
crop will be reduced one half Others, taking
more cheerful view Of the situation, think
that with dry and sunshiny weather the yield
will yet be good. -
Mr. Gregg Cherry, of the vicinity Of Lands
ford, brought fifteen bales of cotton to this
place on Tuesday. While it was not new
cotton, still it was sight joyful to behold, as
our eyes have not rested on the Aeecy staple
for some time. It was bought by j. M. Ivy
& Co., at 103 cents per pound.
Enoch Blackman, of the Landsford neigh.
borhood, was afflicted on last Friday with the
loss of two children, from brain fever, aged
eight years. They were born at the same
time, died at the same time, and were buried
in the same grave. This is, indeed, a very
strange and sad coincidence.
The late meeting at the Presbyterian Church
of this place passed off pleasantly. The ser.
vices began on last Friday morning, Rev.
Samuel Wilson occupying the pulpit. He
preached also at night. On Saturday MORN
ing Rev. Mr.. Boyd, of the Methodist Church,
delivered the sermon. The congregations at
night and on Sunday were favored with the
ministerial services of Rev. Mr.. Brantley of
the Lowrysville Presbyterian Church. In
the Sunday morning service his remarks were
based upon the text; "Who his own self bore
our sins in his own body on the tree" Rev.
Mr.. Wilson edited the children of the Sun
day school in the afternoon with some happy
thoughts. The services closed on Sunday
night, Rev. Mr.. Brantley preaching the SER
mon. While no accessions were made to the
church, the hope is devoutly entertained that
much good was done.
A number of young men left here on last
Friday to attend a picnic. They arrived at
the festive scene in due time, but the prospect
of enjoyment was so poor that they soon left
and drove to Yorkville They had a pleas

TRADE AND COMMERCE OF CHARLESTON.

TRADE AND COMMERCE OF CHARLESION'
The Charleston Ne,rs and Courier of last
Monday contains an elaborate review of the
trade and commerce of that city for the year
ending the 31st Of August. The general re-
suits of the years transactions are quite graft
flying to all who have feeling of interest for
the chief commercial city of the State, and it
is with no small degree of pleasure that we
note the steady increase in trade and the de-
velopment of new industries there, bringing
capital to our State and increasing its re-
sources.
Enumerating the commercial transactions
of the city for the past year, the review opens
with the receipts in Charleston of the Southern
staples and their value. The receipts of cot
ton, rice, naval stores and other merchandise
are given as follows:

- Alexander Bryce, jr., who was an ex'
postmaster of Walhalla, and was once in the
revenue service, was assassinated near his
home, eleven miles from Walhalla, on Mon
day night of last week. The following are
given as the facts in connection with the MUIR
der: Bryce was at the house Of Jesse f.
Cox, who lives near him. In company with
Cox, Bryce started home, and on the way
they were accosted by two horsemen, one OF
whom asked who were present. Cox replied
that it was he and Bryce, whereupon one Of
the men Immediately fired at Bryce. Three
shots were fred, all of them taking effect on
the body of Bryce. Two of them were fa'
tal Bryce fell and expired instantly" A
correspondent Of the Nems and Courier says
that the assassns are known, but on Thursday
last had not been arrested.
"A reunion of survivors Of the companies

that the committee had invited number Of
prominent gentlemen, who won distinction in
