General Grants Presents-Their Re-
mOYal to New York.

Probably no man in America has re-
ceived so many valuable presents as the
great gift taker General Grant, and the
care and preservation of these unique
and costly articles have often given him
considerable inconvenience and trouble.
His friend George w. Childs has been
the custodian of a good many of these
presents, and some of the public testi-
mOnials are on exhibition in Memorial
Hall, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. 1t
is supposed that these will be deposited
in the patent office at Washington. In
dependent of these General Grant has
sixty EIGHT cases filed with presents,
most of which have been in the custody
of Mr.. Childs. In a vault of one of
the safe deposit companies on
Chestnut street, Philadelphia, is
stored a box containing six Of the
Generals swords, including the one he
wore at AppomattoX. In their new
home at Sixty-secOnd street and Fifth
avenue, New York. Mr. and Mrs Grant
will have some of the most beautiful
pieces of furniture to be found in the
New World. While in Mexico buffet
was presented to the General which is
made entirely of Mexican onyx. The
magnificent service of silver presented
by Mexico during his first Presidential
term will be brought from the bank
vault in which it has been hidden away
for many years and put to use in the new
nome, and the China set which Admiral
Alden procured for him in China viii
take a conspicuous place among the
tableware. All the boxes of valuable
goods which were in the care of Mr.
Childs have been shipped 10 New York
and will be displayed or used in the fine
mansion which is now being fitted up as
the permanent residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Grant

TEMPLES MILLS, FLA, October 3-EditOr
Morning NeIUS By reason Of the protracted
dry weather tho cotton and sweet potato crops
will be decidedly short. but as far as the cotton
is concerned the quality is superior. Cattle
are suffering in many places for water very
little rain having fallen during the entire sum-
mer
The sadness and mourning consequent on he
assassination of President Garfield and hts
subsequent death has been deep and heartfelt
by nearly every one, and many look upon his
assassin as only the tool Of corfuptonists and
the miserable political strife begun in the
United states Senate and disgracefully carried
on at Albany, New York.
Memorial day was well observed at this
place. Mr.. Temples store, mill and dwelling
house were draped in mourning. The mill
as well as all other business was closed for the
day. Flags were draped and at half mast
wherever possible. at Starke the stores were
closed ana bells Of Red Men and Methodist
Church were tolled and services were held in
the churches.
Simon J. Temple, of Temples Mills, shows
large amount of lumber shipped during the
month of September, over 7OO,O0O feet of lum-
Der having been shipped by sail, $50, 1000 by
steamship, 5000 feet "a donation) for the Expo
81 ion building at AtlsnUa, and upwards of
$4,000 feet for local demand. This certainly is
good showing and speaks well for Mr.. Tenn

THE RICE HANDS STRIKE.
Quiet Prevailing Around Hardee-
Ville-WOrk Likely 10 be Generally
Resumed - Probable Continuance
of the Beaufort strike.

HARDEEvILLE, s. c., October 5.-Some
evidence of the strike is still exhibited
among the pine land negroes, though the
excitement that first characterized 1t has
abated, ard work is being gradually re-
sumed without any increase In the rate Of
wages. The parties arrested for whipping
the hands disposed to work, on arraignment,
pleaded guilty of assault and battery. This
plea was accepted by the State, and fines
aggregating fifty dollars were imposed.
Thos. Wheeler, the colored lawyer en-
plCyed in the defense, exerted himself
strenuously in the interests Of peace and
order, aud TO his efforts may be attributed
the quieting Of what, during five hours,
threatened to become a serious resistance to
the State authorities. The crowd at the
Trial Justices office numbered nearly one
thousand men and women, and were most
riOfOus and demonstrative.
Good order prevails on all OF the planta-
tions, and 1t is not presumed that any dis
turbaDces will occur. Work will not be
generally resumed for some days.
BEAUFORT, 6. c., October 5.-Sher.h VIII

hearing before Trial Justice Hayward plead
guilty OF assault and battery and were fined
each one dollar and costs, on payment of
hich they we're released. 1t is generally
thought that no further violence need be
apprehended. The strikers, however, are
well organized and are not likely to yield
speedily.

The Speculative Mania.
81. Lo1lis Railear RsQfster.

The passion of gambling has always
been a ruling one in the human mind
From the untutored savage of the foresi
to the educated gentleman of the city al
alike are naturally inclined to games oi
chance for stakes. 1t is said that an
Indian will play until he has lost every
thing he has IN the world, and we al
know how desperately the civilized
gambler clings to hope until his last cent
is swept away. An equally prevalent
passion of modern times is the intense
desire of men to get rich suddenly. One
of the lessons of experience and history,
most conclusively demonstrated to be
true, is that wealth best comes as the re-
suit of long continued thrift and
economy united with industry. This old
fashioned way of becoming rich is the
only true one, and must be followed il
real prosperity is to be obtained. These
two passions, gambling and desire to get
rich suddenly, have made lotteries pro-
life sources of gain to their manipula-
tors, and within the last twenty years
have created the process of stock job
bing by means of margins. Options in
grain, produce and stocks are bought
aud sold, with no real intention of hand
ling the stock or commodity itself, but
solely to make a profit or sustain a loss
by the receipt or payment of differences. f
1t needs no long explanation to show
that such transactions are nothing more
than disguised gambling.
We need not tell any sensible man
that all gambling is pernicious in its
effects. That such is the fact is univer-
sally admitted. No one wishes to EN-.
ploy clerk or servant who is addicted
to this practice, for he knows that there
will be a steady temptation towards dis
honesty. A gambler is not deemed
worthy of any social privileges. Like
the brand of Cain, the epithet, when ap-
piled to man, puts him beyond the
pale, and he is ostracised. There must
be sufficient and reasonable cause
for the unsavory reputation which
attends this habit, or else it
would not be so perfectly under
stood and known. But here comes in
the inconsistency of popular opinion,
and the same business men who desp1se
common gambling have nothing to say
when they see it disguised in the form OF
ostensible dealing in stocks and grain.
1t is painful to see how universal the
practice has become, and how even wo-
men turn over to some broker any money
they can obtain to be employed in the
purchase and sale of options. No re-
flecting mind can fail 10 form any other
opinion of the business than that it is in
every respect injurious, both to the per
son engaged in it and to the people at
large.

educational system, the report said, 1t
must not be concluded that free schools

repeal or destruction The instruction OF

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS
THE GREAT GATHERING OF THE
CLANS.
The Half Breeds I'm the Ascendant
They Secure the Chairman OF the
Convention Seeming Harmony
Platt and Depew ROundIY Cheered.

New YORK, October 5-The members of
the Republican State Committee met early
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, aud there was a
large throng OF delegates to the convention
In attendance. and not few prominent
Democrats. The committee formally
assembled soon after nine O'Clock. The
press was excluded, but number
OF non members managed to press their way
In. Chairman Platt conducted the pro-
eeedings. Upon motion OF General Sharpe,
Frank Hiscock, Of Syracuse, was agreed
upon as temporary Chairman of the conven-
ton. His selection seemed to give general
satisfaction. Good feeling seems to prevail
among the delegates.
The. convention was called to order at
ll:l5 q. m. by ex Senator 7. G. Platt. The
Academy OF Music was crowded, dele
gates from all parts of the State being
present.
The building was completely filed from
the auditorium to the sky gallery. There
were sewers al hundred ladies In the meZza-
nine, prosceuium and artists boxes. II is
estimated that not less than four thousand
people are in the Academy. After
prayer the roll of delegates was called,
During the calling OF the roll of delegates
notices were given OF contested seats as fol
lows: SIN Albany county, First, Second,
Filth and Twelfth districts; in New York
county, Fifteenth, Seventeenth and Eigh-
teenth districts; In Oswego county, First
district; in Oneida county, First, Second and
Third districts"
On the call of Mr.. Platt's name as a dele
gate, there was immense cheering. The
name OF G. NJ. Depew, of the other side,
was called a few minutes afterwards, and
was received with tremendous cheer
ing. When Speaker Sharpe proposed
Hon. Frank Hiscock for temporary Chair
man, his speech was coldly received. Mr..
Hiscock, with considerable warmth, de-
clined. TheO. NJ. Pomeroy, of CAyuga,
then proposed that as Mr. Hiscock's name
had been proposed against his wishes, Sena-
tor Warner Miller be named as temporary
Chairman. On this, amid great cheering,
the ayes and nays were ordered.
The total vote for temporary Chairman
was 4SS-29S votes being cast for Warner
Miller and 100 votes for Hiscock, Miller's
majority being los. This announcement
was received with long applause.
Senator Miller was introduced to the con-
VentiOn as its temporary Chairman by ex-
Senator Platt. He said on taking the chair
that the delegates met to day as q band of
mourners, and proceeded to eulogize the
late President Garfield. "Whilst we mourn
his untimey taking off, We should bring a
united and harmonious support to him who
has succeeded our late illustrious chief"
Senator Madden here proposed three
cheers for President Arthur, which were
given.
The convention then adjourned until 7:3O
p. m-
On reassembling, at $50, the Committee
on Credentials presented their report,
which was adopted. Chauncey NJ. Depew
was made permanent Chairman.

The New York stock Market.

NEW YORK, October 5.-The stock
market was weak at the opening. and prices
were generally lower, Nashville and Chat
tsnooga being 2, Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy X, and c., c. and L. 9. l per cent.
off from Yesterdays closing figures. Specu-
latiOn Immediately took downward course,
and during the remainder of the day,
except at rare intervals, when slight re-
coveries took place, the tendency was in
the direction of lower prices. The pressure
to sell was very pronounced, and was
owing mainly to the stringency of
money. The lowest figures were
touched Just before the close, when the de-
cline as compared with last nights quota
tions ranged from a to 7M per cent, the
latter in Houston and Texas, the other
shares prominent in the depression being
Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central,
s.. Louis and San Francisco preferred,
Western Union, Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, Chicago, st. Louis and New Or
leans, Lake Erie and Western, Denver and
Rio Grande, Kansas City and Topeka, New
Jersey Central, Lake Shore and Northwest
ern, Ohio and Mississippi. In the final
sales Houston and Texas rallied IL per
cent, and some few other stocks recovered
a fraction, but the market closed generally
heavy. Sales aggregated 524, ,792 shares.
