PALMETTO POLITICS.
Tbe'DemOcratIc State Convention
The Various Candidates-PrObab
Tactics OF the Opposition.

CHARLESTON, s. c., July 31.-The State
Democratic Convention, which meets in
Columbia tomorrow, is the subject of in
tense interest here. The convention will
nominate candidates for Governor and all
the State offices, and is composed of three
hundred and sixteen delegates. The race
for the Gubernatorial nomination is con
ceded to lie between General John F. Brat
ton, OF York, the present Comptroller Gen
eraI, and General John D. Kennedy, of
Kershaw, the present Lieutenant Governor.
General Kennedy is the representative of
the young Democracy.
The majority rule prevails in this State,
and careful summary OF the delegates in
dicat the following as about the situation:
Delegates for Kennedy, 1873; for Brattop,
III; doubtful, 81. The friends of General
Kennedy, however, claim that they will
have a majority on the first ballot
Governor Hsygood, the present incum-
bent, is understood to be not desirous of
denomination, although some of the dele
gates have been instructed to vote for him.
The candidates for the other offices are as
follows: For Lieutenant Governor, j. c.
Sheppard, Of Edgefield; for Comptroller
w. OAo1 VI OIc6uNlllc, w III
Wallace OF Columbia, ], W. S'oney
Of Charleston; for State Treasu-
rer, ]. r. Richardson, the present
incumbent; for Adjutant General,
A. NJ. Manigault, the present incumbent:
for Attorney General, G. r. Miles of Charles.
ton, John r. Abney of Edgefeld, James
Aldrich of Aiken; for Secretary of State, T.
StobO Farrow of Spartanburg, B. w. Rice
Of Barnwell, R M. Simon, present incum-
bent; for Superintendent OF Education,
Charles Petty OF Spartanburg, 6. B. Lar
tigue of Barnwell.
The campaign for State officers will prob
ably be between the Democrats and the
Greenbackers, the latter relying upon the
negro vote of the State. 1t Is not at pres
ent probable that the Radicals will nominate
State ticket, although they will, probably,
ally themselves with the Greenbackers and
make a fight for Congressman, and in some
COMMITTEES for county officers.

THE HAMPTON SOLDIERS HOME.
Grave Charges Against the Manager.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-A resolution was
offered in the House to-day by Mr.. Brown,
OF Indiana, providing for an investigation of
the Soldiers Home at Hampton, Va. The
resolution is preceded by a preamble, in
which the following among other charges
are cited as having been made by inmates Of
the Home against Gov. P. T. Woodfu:
First. That during the last four years said
Woodfn, Governor and Treasurer OF said
Home, has retained and withheld from pen
sioners pension money paid him In trust
for pensioners under him, contrary to and
In violation OF the laws Of the United
States.
Second. That Woodfn does not permit
inmates OF the Home, who are fully compe-
tent, willing and deserving, to fll and re-
ceive compensation therefor the principal
positions OF honor and trust at the Home,
but employs persons not inmates, thus de-
privtng inmates of the benefits of wages
they might earn.
Third. That Woodfn diverts to himself
and to his chosen friends who visit him the
property and effects of the Home.
Fourth. That Woodfn has reduced the
status of inmates of said Home to that of
persons held for crime.
The citations in the preamble also charge
that Woodfn makes distinction between
inmates who are non-pensioners and those
who are penslOned inmates, to secure their
money after 1t reaches his hands; that
he issues wooden chips in lieu
OF pension money, and that said
chips are only receivable at the Home store
and beer saloon, where exorbitant prices
are charged, and that he is vile, abusive
and overbearing in his manner. The resolu-
tion directs the Committee on Military At
fairs to examine into the management of
the Home and report the result Of such In
vestigation as soon as practicable.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1882-08-01

receipts was too much for him, sometimes.
DE had no recollection Of ever urging ex-
pedited service. His efforts had been in
the direction Of extending routes.
Secretary Teller stated that while in the
Senate he had very frequently called upon
Brady in connection with the mail service
in his State, he had general theory as to
the duty Of the government where Western
mail routes were concerned. He had
often expressed his belief, both in
the Senate and to Brady, that In his judg-
ment every town and mining camp In the
West should have mail facilities equal to
towns in New York. There was no more
reason for expecting such service to be self
sustaining than for the expectation that
the army and navy should be self sustaining.
His business with the department had al
most invariably been done through Brady
and he believed that he had usually been
successful In securing such improvements
as he desired.
DIR. ID. II. Petersen, of Louisiana, was
called, but his evidence was ruled out.
FOLDER PoPHAM DENIES.
Doorkeeper Brownlow, of the House of
Representatives, has received q letter from
Colonel Popham, denying the truth of the
published reports rejecting upon his official
integrity, charging him with having COM
L.ANUSN foA tONo AlOEdA aCto Wuuc hCbIUS Ms
Clerk Of the United States Court in Rich
mond. He states that he will start for
Washington In day or so, and concludes
his letter by rendering his resignation as
Superintendent Of the folding room of the
House Of Representatives.
TIMBER DECISION,
The Secretary Of the Interior has ad-
dressed communication to the Commits
si0ner of the General Land Office. in which
he decides that the mesquite bush or shrub
is not timber within the meaning of the
statute. The case upon which this decision
is predicated is one in which certain Mexi-
can wood cutters of Arizona are alleged to
have unlawfully cut five hundred cords of
mesquite wood from unsurVeYed non-min-
eral lands.

GREAT FIRE IN NEW YORK.
Heckers' Flour MIL Consumed -
Firemen Beaten off by HeaI-Otheu
Heavy Losses.

New YORK, July 3l.-The great flour mill
of Hecker Brothers, extending from Cherry
to Water streets on Pike street, was totally
burned to day, along with several neigh
boring buildings, the principal one of which
was the spice mill of SAUCER, Beers &
Fisher, and a number of tenements on
Cherry street.
The Heckers' loss is between four hun
dred and six hundred thousand dollars, in
surance five hundred thousand dollars, well
distributed. SAUCER, Beers q Fishers loss
is stated at one hundred thousand dollars
The other losses will bring the aggregate to
nearly million dollars.
The fire originated In the ninth story Of
Hecker Bros. mill, which was ten stories
high, and was caused by friction of the
machinery for cleaning wheat. About five
hundred men were employed in the mill, all
of whom escaped, although some were
driven to the fire escapes on the outside Of
the building.
One fireman had leg broken, and several
were prostrated by the heat. The heat was
so intense that the men could not approach
near enough to attempt to save Heckers'
mill. With forty engines at work all they
could do was to prevent the spread of the
fire. Among the minor losses was the Sea-
mems Exchange, $4,000.
