South CAROLINA has population Of
6O4, 1872 negroes and S9l, Jos whites. OF
the thirty-three counties in the State all
but eight have large preponderanee of
negro population. An exchange re-
marks that to any reasonable human
being who knows the moral and mental
incapaeity of the negroes to rule and
govern State, especially the planta-
ton negroes of the South, the situation
in South Carolina and the legislative
restrictions the whites have sought TO
throw round the ballot are Ineligible.
The dispicable demagogues and sieken-
ing byPOcriteS who, living in States
with but few negroes, and these COM
paratively intelligent, yet deny them
even the semblance ofsOeial or political
equality, still pirate about the stupidity
of the BOurbons who use the means Of
selfpreservation which nature has
placed in their reach, afford a tolerable
idea of total depravity.

In the July number of the North
American Review GAIL HAMILTON
once more opens her peppery batteries,
pointed toward things in general, on the
question of GARFIELD and GUITEAU.
But as is usually the case with what
ever bOmbardment she opens, some lit
tie pellets of truth can be found among
her shot and shell. In this round Of
grape-shot the most evident fragment of
heedable truth is that "the great OBJ
stacle to civil service reform to-day is
the civil service refOrmers." And
another large truth, so evident before
that it scarcely needed to be cast from
her lurid battery through the pages of
the North American, is this: In the
last campaign nearly every eliot of mud
flung at General GARFIELD was scoOped
no from a Republican puddle"

on the peach crop in Maryland and
Delaware, based on past seasons, comes
to the conclusion that not less than
3,35O,OeO baskets of peaches will be
grown on the peuinsulathis year for the
market. 1t predicts that peaches will
be very cheap in the market, as "crOp
of S,OOO,OOO baskets will permit only
very fine peaches to sell for more than
basket, and cause fair quality to
sell as low as so cents, at which price
the grower scarcely gets any return

RECENT census reports show Cali
fhrnia to be the largest sheep growing
S,ste in the Union, it having 4,lS2,349
head, over oHe-tenth the aggregate
number in the United States. Oregon
has 1,OS3, 1852 head, and New Mexico
2,OSS,33l. The proportion of sheep to
population is in California about five
sheep to each individual; in Oregon
about seven sheep to each individual;
and in New Mexico about fifteen sheep
to each individual of the large States.
Michigan ranks first and Ohio second
in sheep raising, but Rhode Island has
the largest number of sheep in proper
ton to population. The whole number
of sheep reported in the United States is
1881 ,3S9. This number rs it is, could
be doubled, with advantage to the pro-

One of the most enterprising, influential
and useful citizens of Clarksburg is r. I.
LOwndeS, Esq, who has more than local
reputation in this State. He is one of q
distinguished family of business men. His

wealth at Clarksburg, and his only brother
is one of the most wealthy citizens of Cum
berland, Md, while Mr.. +. 7. Lowndes, of
Clarksburg, is the pOssesser OF a fine for

He is noted for his energy, his tenacity
and business tact. Mr.. LOwudes is still
quite young man, Of pleasing address, in
telligent, manly face, a kindly expression
Of the eye, and of that keen business per-
ception and mature Judgment which have
been the marked characteristics OF his
family.
He has recently erected one of the finest
business houses in the county. We sus-
pect there are few, il any, more solidly
built, more handsomely finished, and more
conveniently arranged. 1t is built upon
the site of his fathers old business stand,
and adioins the dwelling, which is still
standing, in which his father lived for
fifty years. A thief once crawled into the
window of this dwelling and relieved old
man Lowndes Of $l25,OO0, for which he
Was landed in the Penitentiary for eight
years. We believe his time expired few

QUEsrIoxs AND AxswERs.-Can a

or December 25. or any other legal
holiday. Sunday included ?
The validity Of . note Is not i'm
paired By the fact that it Is signed on
Sunday. if il is not delivered on that
day. There IS no general rule Of Law
invalidating commercial paper il ex-
ecuted on other holidays.

the bank hold the maker Of the note
for the protest fees?
Notes do not come due on Sunday
or other holidays. Whenever the
last day of grace falls on Sunday or
other holiday the note becomes due
and payable on the preceding day.
If you tender pay for a note on a
legal holiday and the money is refns-
ed, does it release the maker of the
note from paying the same +?
The supposition that a man would
refuse to take money on legal holi-
day is rather absurd. The tender you
mention would have to be kept good,
and the maker could not escape la
bility. even if the payee improperly
refused to accept payment in the first
instance.

Tie bank could hold you for the
amount it paid out on your order upon
check dated Sunday.
Should the banks always take no.

take, so as to see if it is dated on a

A bank should take notice of eve

The sale of a piece of land and the
