live in the departments, and studies with care
full attention the state of public opinion, one
is naturally led 10 conclude that France is on
the evesof revolution. Gen. de Charrette
and his countrymen of Vendee, who organize
excursion trips on Cooks system to Frohsdort,
the seat Of the Comte de Chambord, may be
under the illusion that the Republic will be
overthrown, and that the white flag will wave
from the channel to the Pyrenees, as it waves
in the banqreting rooms of legitimate parti-
sans, The partisans of Prince Jerome and the
young PRICE Victor can hardly expect that
the county will take much interest in debates
of violent character, which commence with
abuse, ana end in blows. The Socialist work
.ingmsp soceties who have sent their represen'
ttatiyes to the Congress OF St. Etlenne are no
doubt cherishing the idea that, if revolution
lis to agitate France again, it will be soclails'
J tic revolution. Then we have M. Gambetta,
1who earnestly believes that his newspapers,
from the Republique Francaise to the ne
forme, will enlighten the French nation as to
the Importance of maintaining joint control,
and will compensate the man who stood up Tor
the Anglo French alliance by voting scrutlh
de liste, and make him powerful. But the
revolution to which I refer is one differing In
character from all previous revolutions. Ii IS
no emancipation from imperialism or mon
archy, from aristocracy or democracy, from
~
emancipation of France, or rural France, OF
the hard working and laborous portion OF the
nation, from the Partisan yoke. The country
care little whether M Ferry or NJ. de Freycint,
M. Gambetta' or M. Duclerc be at the head OF
a French Ministry. What it caresis to eman-
cipate itself from the influence of city which
has become ''Grand Bourse." The duke
and the land owner, the shop keeper and the
peasant, who visit Paris as you would Vlslt a
great exhibition have had enough of the pres
tige of Paris. The so-called patriotic enter
prises have been started in Paris. But 1t is
the money and the best blood of France which
have been spent to back the financial opera
tions of politicians in Tunis, and more money
and lives would willingly be spent in Partisan
enterprise and speculation to ensure financial
operations in Egypt. Government neWspa-
pers course and bankers seem converted ana
modelled into one institution"
The FREE TRADE IssUE.-Frank Hurd
made his fight for Congress on the tariff issue
alone, and won. He is and ever has been, a
free-trader, openly and above board. His can
yass was made on that issue. There was not
voter in the Toledo district who did not know
that Mr.. Hurd favored tariff for revenue
only and that revenue to be cut down to an
economic administration of the government.
The fight was bitter one. The protection Or
gans opened out upon him in full tune. He
was accused as an agent of the British manu-
facturers, Of being paid as BRUSH agent
as ambitious to destroy American Industries,
and reducing the wages of the mechanic to
level with those of Europe. Whatever could
be said to his prejudice, either by argument
and anathema, was said, and yet the voters OF
district by no means wanting in manufac-
turing interests stood by Frank Hurd and
elected him. 1t is inferred from this that if
the Democratic party were to take the same
decided stand for a simple revenue tarlft, ana
for free trade whenever that is possible, as
we'll as for free ships, and rigid economy in
administration, it would be stronger with the
people than it ever has been when evading this
issue, leaving it undecided whether its choice
was for free trade or protection. 1t is certain
were the party to take up the position OF
Frank Hurd it would do no more than return
to it's ancient dogma. In it's best years the
Democratic party was distinctively the party
of free trade. 1t beat the Protectionists OF
the Whig party over and over again on that
issue, and now that the war issues are out OF
the way, it will doubtless make strong con-
tention against the Republican party, which
has inherited Wing theories on the subject OF
protection. The success of Mr.. Hurd shows
what may he done by making an undisgused
fight for approximate free trade.-Cincinnati

SOUTH CAROLINA MINEs.-Mr. John w.
McCavy, of West Springs, informs us that
the West Mining Company is beginning to
work on a large scale. They are now work
ing about 100 hands, and are paying them on
promptly. 1t has thrown new life into the
whole community. This company is working
about one mile from the Springs. The ma

and it will be running in few days. 1he
GOLD fever being contagious, the farmers in
the neighborhood are prospecting generally,
and they are finding gold where it was not ex-
pected. Edward Mcdowell is the general
superintendent. He is a man Of extensive
travel. and his experience in the mines OF the
Pacific Slope prepares him for intelligent and
scientific york. The prospects of the COM
pany, are supposed to be very encouraging.
For nearly century it has been known that
gold was in these hills, and for more than
half century mines have been working III
the neighborhood. 1t is hoped that this new
COMPANY will develop richer veins than ever
found before. Near this place are Mott Hill,
the Thompson, and the Began mines, all OF
which are now being worked Spartanturg

SUPPORT THE LOCAL PAPER.-The follow.
: ing, from an exchange, is so emlnently Sensl,
BILE, that we copy it for the consideration OF
our readers, especially the business men,
I'm all towus where newspaper is publish
ed, every man should advertise in it, even II
nothing more than card, stating his name and
the business he is engaged in. 1t not only
pays the advertiser, but lets the people at
distance know that the town you reside in has
q live and prosperous community OF business
men. A local paper which has but few an
nouncements of local business men gives a
bad impression to strangers, and although
there may be good number of merchants in
the village, he at once concludes it is dead
place, and leaves without further comment,
or never comes to town because OF the same
impression. The local paper travels into near
ly every State in the Union, and first or last,
falls into the hands of many enterprising busl'
ness men, who are either attracted to the place
or repulsed, according as the merchants are
represented in it's columns"
INDICTED FOR MURDER.-The grand jury
of the Hastings Court of Danville, Va, have
indicted John Henry johnson, Mayor of that
city, for the murder of John f. Hatcher, tor
meriy Chief of Police. There had been some
disagreement between the men as to the dlspo
sition of certain fines, and at a casual meeting
on September 9th words and slight scutie en-
sued and Johnson shot Hatcher through the
body with pistol. Hatcher died two day:
