The South American Correspondence,

Tho South American Correspondence.
Secretary Blaine's letters to Ministers
Fitzpatrick andHHurlbut, our Ministers TO
Chill and Peru, of the date of November
90, are most satisfactory. Hurlbut is CEN
sured for threatening Chill with the dis
pleasure of our Government if any ces-
sion of Peruvian territory shall be pro-
vided for in a treaty of peace, and Kill
patrick is censured for engaging in a con-
troversy with Hurlbut, instead of bringing
to the attention of his own Government
the proceedings in Peru. On the 9th of
May last, while Mr.. Christiancy was still
our Minister in Peru, Secretary Blaine
addressed him n note directing him,
under certain conditions of which he was
to be the judge, to recognize the
Calderon government. He also said :
MIR. Gilmore has been received by me as
the confidential agent of such provisional
government" Whether this was with
President Garfeld's approval does not
appear. Indeed, in the letters of instruc-
ton TO Hurlbut and Fitzpatrick there is
no allusion to the President, the Secre-
tary speaking at all times for the Govern
ment, as though proceeding without di-
rection of the President We are pleased
TO observe by the letters of November 90
that the Secretary proceeded under the
direction of the President instead of on
his own responsibility, and that the
special mission was sent to Chill and Peru
charged with the duty of expressing the
views of the President" Those views
were of course expressed in the special
instructions to the envoy.
1t does not appear that Mr.. Hurlbut
had any warrant from Secretary Blaine
for his remarkable conduct, as reported,
and if upon hearing he cannot disprove
the charges that he violated instructions
it is most likely that he will be allowed
to return to his political activity in Hi
nois. Poor Fitzpatrick is beyond the
reach of criticism. His fault was only in
the violation of propriety in communi-
eating to the Chilian government di-
rcctly what should have been sent to
Washington.
The skill of Mr.. Trescott will, it is to be
hoped enable him, on behalf of the
United States, to remove all jealousy
against us, and to be useful in promoting
peace negotiations between the two bel
ligerents.
1t is not likely that the new Premier
will care to have so vigorous a diplomat

WhiLtaker'S Ears.
The Verdict of the Court Martial Is that he
Cut EN-.

Tie tenor of the verdict in the
Whitaker case has been the subject
of a good deal of speculation. 1t has
been generally understood that it was
averse to Whitaker, bat this was not
positively Known until now. The re-
port of the court-marlial arrived at
the Office of the Judge Advocate Gen
eral some time ago, but owing to Gen
eral Swaim's attendance upon the pa
tient at the White House it was not
examined. It is now being revised
and will be ready for submission to
the President for his Gna action just
as soon as he is able to give his atten'
ton to it. The essence Of the YER
dict is the finding Of Whitaker
guilty Of committing the alleged out
rage on himself. This verdict is un-
animous and is coupled with the unan-
imous recommendation that he be dis
missed the service. The Judge Ad-
vocste General will approve this ver-
dict, there is not the slightest doubt
about that, and thus will end the
most remarkable military trial on
record. It has cost the government
nearly $4,000 to decide who mutil
ated Whittaker's ears, aud even now,
when it is all over and the verdict is
that the boy himself did the job to
excite public sympathy, it will be re-
ceived with some doubt by good
many people.

Important Call.

The State Convention which is to

9th, will need reliable inform alton as
to She real strength of the prohibi.

will be indicated somewhat by the
uumber Of persons who will leave
their business and attend its sessions.
But, besides, it will be highly desirable
to know the number of petitioners for
prohibitory law.
I therefore hereby earnestly request
all persons who are circulating petit
tions to push the canvass vigorously
during the present mouth, and mai!
the papers to NE by the first of Sep
tember, that I may have time to

Rail Road.

Do our people intend to make
any efforts at all to get the Virgin
ia Midland road? Or are they sat
isied with present arrangements
and future prospects? Do they in
tend to let things drift along and,
like Micawher, wait for something
to turn up? What would Spartan
burg and Greenville have been to-
day had their citizens manifested
the same indifference to public en-
terprise and Improvement? Only
q few years ago these two flourish
ing cities were simply one. horse
towns. At that time Newberry was
prosperous town, doing the largest
business of any town in the up
country, drawing to her the trade
of Spartanburg, Laurens, Fairfield,
Lexington, Ed dgefeld and other
Counties. Instead of advancing
she has gone backward; and she
will continue to 60 backward unless
something be done to prevent it.
A road such as the Virginia Mid
land running through Newberry
would start her at once on the high
road to prosperity. But she seems
to be content. The officers of the
Virginia Midland have not even
been communicated with, and not
the slightest intima6on has been
given that Newberry wants a rail
road or would do anything towards
securing it. The directors Of the
Virginia Midland will meet in a few
days, and if Newberry wants to do
anything she should be represented
at that meeting.

GENTLEMEN-Your committee beg
leave to report as follows, based Oh
6fty-three replies from twenty-seven
counties:
The weather for the month of July
is generally reported as urfavorable
on account of the continued dry and
excessively hot weather, causing rust
and shedding io various sections.
One reports more favorable, four the
same as last year, forty eight unfsvo
rable to very unfavorable.
No lands are reported as abandoned.
The crop is seriously injured by
drought; plant small and boiling
badly.
Two counties report injury from
lice. The average estimate as to cut,
turn of crop is from one-fourth to
one.third less than last year. Picking
will be general from 2Oth August to
lst September.

The Country Press

Is the subject of the address de-
livered by Mr.. Hugh Wilson, of the
Abbeville Press and Banner, at the
last session of the State Press As.
sociation. The address is practical
and sensible. A few points dis
cussed are: 1. 4 newspaper should
be made worthy Of support; 2.
The newspaper should pay special
attention to local news; 3. Editors
should not descend to the use of
vile epithets OF offensive language
even towards a political opponent.
He should maintain his opinions
with all the ability he possesses,
but at the same time with dignity
and decency; 4. In giving reports
of meetings or other occurrences
let the editor give facts, and if he
wishes to make comments let him
do so in separate article; S. Edi-
tors should use the best language
pure, and free from 7ulgarity,
puns, slang, or anything that would
tend to corrupt the public taste.
ITO write poorly is to teach the
use of improper language, and is
an ofense against our higher civil
cation" 6. It is wrong in an editor
to use his columns for attacking
private character, nor should he
permit others to do this through
bis paper. The official acts and
conduct, however, Of public officers
are proper subjects for approval or
censure, as the facts may warrant;

7. An editor should not eynect nor
accept free privileges at places OF
public entertainment where other
citizens are required to pay; s.
An editor should never allow his
paper to become an organ.
The address was delivered to and
for newspaper men, and contains
many wise suggestions for their
guidance. There are some points
upon which we differ with the au.
thor but they are on matters OF
no interest to the public, and we
will not discuss them. AS a whole,
the address is excellent.

our Township. In few sections there
has been scarcely any rain till this
week, and of curse cotton is small and
cont make very much 1t is opening
rapidly in some sections, and in others
ii is not opening at nil. I think our
Township will average 81 of a crop Of
cotton. Some will make an average,
if not above their usual crop. Upland
corn is generally poor. but bottom land
corn is good. The corn crop will av-
erage "a of a crop. There has been a
larger crop of peas planted this season
than I have ever known; they are look
ing very well. Fodder-pulling has be-
gun. .Turnips are being planted. II
crab grass on stubble land gets large

mers are generally cheerful. Labor is
restless, and 1 think there will he a
