There seems to be little doubt that
Judge Folger will be nominated for Secre-
tary of the Treasury to-day, and. that he will
accept on certain conditions. The condi-
tons are that he be appointed to the Su-
preme Bench of the United States to sue
coed Judge Hunt. 1t is understood that
Judge Hunt is anxious to retire, and thet
on Judge Folger's appointment as his sue
cessor ex-senator Conkling will become
Secretary of the Treasury. The knowing
ones say that Conkling would be appointed
Just now, but that neither his health nor his
legal engagements will permit. 1t is be-
lieved that ex-senator Howe will certainly
be nominated to-day for Attorney General.
Five hundred delegates are in attend
ance upon the Mississippi river improve
ment convention at st. Louis. Mark II.
Dunnel, of Minnesota, is to be permanent
president. The Missourians are greatly
disguised over the fact that the gathering
is divided into squads eager to advance the
interests of the localities they represent. II
appears to be Mississippi river convention
only in name. 1t should be impressed
upon the minds of the gentlemen of the
convention that they cannot induce con-
gress to improve every river in the country
at once, and that demand to do 80 would
elicit from that body only jeers. If they
succeed by instituting persistent demand
upon congress, in inducing that body to
make beginning, and that, on the Mis-
sissippi river, they will do well, indeed.
The improvement of this rivers tributaries
will follow naturally.
Why not compel the Singer Manufac-
turing Company and the Dixie Cotton
Seed Oil Company to give bond; both of
them are granted privileges of value to
them by the city. 1t will be argued that
the city does not agree to patronize them to
the amount of $lS0,000 when their respec.
tive works are completed, therefore they
need not give bond. This is as much as to
say that because the city agreed to patronize
Mr.. Daniels water works to that amount
when they are finished in a certain way and
at a certain time he, Mr.. Daniel, should be
required to give a bond Of twenty or thirty
thousand dollars. In other words, Mr..
Daniel should be required to give the city
heavy bond in order to keep her from pa
tronizing his water works in case he fails to
build them. such reasoning is the sherest
nonsense as every sane man, excepting, of
course, the editor Of the the Argus, will see
at glance.
The Charleston Courier has the follow
ing;-Thomas Lynch, who seems to be
professional tramp and dead beat, picked
fuss with Green Sandidge one day last week
and was sent to the calaboose for several
days. He got out Of limbo on Monday,
walked into Deal & Hequembourg's store,
picked up an overcoat took it to John Lin
dsay's store in the next block, and request
ing him to wrap it up, walked out. Mr..
Lindsay didn't like the way the matter
looked so he took the coat down to Deal &
Heouembourgs store where it was at once
identified and in half and hour Lynch was
in the county Jail, on plea guilty to petit
larcency, before Esq Randolph who senten.
ced him to five days Imprisonment"
