CONGRESSIONAL AsPIRANTS.

Col. +. B. &. Cash has variously been an
nounced as an Independent candidate for
Congress in the First Congressional district :;
but since the first appearance of the item IN
the papers he has written to a gentleman of
this county, declaring himself a candidate in
this the Fifth Congressional district. From
this it appears that Col. Cash lives in Chester
field county. For the benefit of buldozers and
ballot-box suffers, it may be well to repeat
that the papers say that Col. Cash declares
that Che will demand fair election, and will
hold the ballot-box suffers personally respon-
sible if they undertake to count him out by
means of tissue ballots.''
Per contra to the above, we find the follow
ing card, signed by Col. Cash, under date of
July 18th, in the papers Of Tuesday:
Editors Sumter Adra1ce: am sure you
would not knowingly misrepresent me, and
yet you do so in your issue of this date. 1t is
more than twenty years since l sought or
held any public position, and am not now
a candidate for Congress from the ''FirSt' or
any other District, not a candidate for any
office in the gift of the people; nor have
threatened the managers of elections for count
ing me out. Please, sirs, do me the justice to
make the necessary correction in your next
issue.
Ex-Judge T. j. Mackey, of Chester, is
also announced as an Independent candidate
for Congress- presumably in this district.
The following gentlemen are before the
people for nomination by the Democratic Con-
gressional Convention Gen. w. l.. T. Prince,

BROTHER-A SCHOOL Boys CARD-COMPLIMENTS OF
THE NEW YORK BAR
Recently Mr.. Griffith, the president OF the Mary
land Prisoners Aid ass0cia ton, paid visit to
Guiteau, and had quite long interview with him,
lasting nearly an hour. They conversed alto
gether on spiritual subjects, and the prisoner
showed that he was well read in the scriptures.
Mr.. Griffith, towards the close of the interview,
engaged In prayer with the prisoner, and the lat
yer appeared much affected-SO much so that he
followed In very feeling prayer, in which he
asked God to give him grace to sustain him in
his trials, and that in whatever may occur He
would guide and direct him, and finally save him

Yesterday the prisoner received letter from his
brother, John Wilson Guiteau, which had the eff
1ecG or cheering him some, and in the latter part
OF the day 1t was evident that he was hopeful He
talked with his guards cheerfully, and to one,
without a sign or Keeling. save in subdued tone,
he asked: "What is death? I have to die-that is
this body OF mine must die some time-and it mat
tiers not with me when my times comes. II I am
to end my life on that Scaffold ready to do it,
and when go there, then Will be my time"
The prisoners mall matter seems to have fallen
on recently, and some days he receives but two or
three cards or rather but two three cards are
ceived for him. as but few are given him. This
morning postal received at the jail for him read
as follows: "YOu son of a gun; 90 and pray for
