Melton came to Columbia and was
met by an aged, dry and sober citi-

An IMPORTANT INJUNCTION
GRANTED.-"J. H. B." writes as
follows from Spartanburg under
date of March s: After somewhat
elaborate argument in the case
against the county commissioners
of Spartanburg and the Greenwood,
Laurens and Spartanburg Railroad,
Judge Witherspoon has dissolved
the Temporary injunction, and there
is now nothing in the way of an
early issuing OF the bonds. l learn
that another of the signers of the
petition on which the injunction
was obtained has withdrawn his
name, and only FIVE are left to bear
the brunt of the fight. There seem
ed to be q general expectation that
the Injunction would be dissolved
as soon as argument was heard, and
there is therefore no surprise at the
result. The case was argued at
Union where Judge Witherspoon is
now holding Court.-Nescs and Co

The Planets for. July.

The planets are all morning stars most OF the
month, except Uranus. 1t has good position
for evening Decentralization four degrees
west of the star Beta in Virgo. 1t If slowly ap-
preaching that star and will come up and pass
1t in October. This planet has the brightness of
a sixth-maGnitude star-just visible to the naked
eye when the moon is absent Mercury and
Venus will appear like pair of twin stars dur
ing nearly all Of the first week in July. They
may be seen little way above the horizon,
southwark from the sunrise point, in early twi-
light. The one further north is Venus. After
the Sth. Mercury will leave Venus and soon dis
appear in the bright rays of the sun. Mars is
about two hours above Venus and little more
south; but too small and dim to be of much in
Jerest. 1t will be 10 80 north of Saturn in the
morning of the Goth On July the sun passes
between the earth and Jupiter, making an &C.
cultation of the planet, which lasts about ten
hours. This would be phenomenon OF exceed
ing interest for observation did not the
brightness of the sun prevent our seeing it. AT
ter tnat Jupiter is a morning star, and may be
seenjust above the sunrise point in the latter
part of the month. Saturn is considerably higher
ana well situated for morning observation. 1t
is little above, and to the left of Aldebaran, the
right, red star in Taurus, and about ten degrees
(two-thirds of an hour below the Pleiades. Nep-
tune is still above Saturn and further south-oc
cupying blank region in Taurus. 1t can hard
ly be identified without good equatorial tee-
scope. In the morning of the Goth, Venus and
Jupiter will be near together-like fine doub lie
star-Venus to the north. The moon occults
Saturn on the first about 5 p. NJ, and Mercury
about twenry-four hours afterward. But both
phi enomena will be difficult to observe, being in
day time, and near the horizon. The moon Will
again pass very near Saturn on the 29th about
o'clock in the morning. They will be in the east
near four hours high and may be observed with

THE idea of ENGRAVING the industrial
comes more important the more it is ex-
amined. Besides comforting the benefits
heretofore claimed for it, there is a wide
spread and growing evil for which this would
be remedy. The promiscuou Jus rushing into
the professions of young men would receive a
wholesome and timely check, if during the
school and collegiate course they could have a
taste of tools. Thousands would be drawn into
mechanical pursuits and prosper instead of
hanging on the ragged edge of the profess
sions. The pay of the American mechanic
machinery in every branch the labor is less
arduous. In a comparison of incomes be-
tween 300 lawyers of this city and the
same number of skilled mechanics the legal
to the work, no man subjects himself to such
perpetual grind as the industrious LAWYER
His renown is thoroughly mixed with all
manner of annoyance which prematurely
wears men out. Perhaps the medical pro-
fession is less crowded, for while popular
education helps each man to be his own
lawyer, the follies of society increase the
demand for doctors, and the field of
medical science seems to expand
while that of the law diminishes. But there
will always be work for limited number of

them so long as they are needed. Then the
thousands of young men who are entering
the profession annually, under the delusion
that the genius of Webster will be lost to the
world if they do not may look with decided
advantage in other directions. Farming,
under the improved facilities, is more desira-
BILE than the drudgery of an overcrowded
profession. Besides the field of agriculture
demands the very highest order of talent
and is becoming more and more the work of
the brain rather than the muscle, so that the
first-class farmer is rapidly pushing to the
front rank among the skilled and lettered
men of the country. The last to be promoted
is the common laborer, but his opportunities
are keeping pace with those in the ranks over
him. The reaping machine has called an
army OF common laborers from the harvest
field up into the shops of our great manufac-
turing establishments. Instead of being an
obstacle in the way of the day laborer, the
machine has been the means OF his promo
ton, and what IS true with the reaper holds

of his place, in the very nature of things it
opens to him better one.
If these facts and many others that could
be cited were impressed upon young
men, they would be able to see abundant
chances for the application of the most
finished education outside of the
learned professions. There seems no better
way in which to impress these truths than
through the industrial branch of the common
school and the colleges. AS to the girls,
while they should enjoy all the advantages
arising from this source suited to their sta
ton, they might be left free to break into
the professions whenever they can. AS yet
they have not secured fair share in this
line But as to the young men of the coun-
try, there never was a time when the induce
ment was so strong to turn their backs upon
professional life, and the chances so favor

THERE is the most perfect harmony exist
ing In the Democratic party of Ohio. Each
day adds to the conclusive evidences of the
peaceful and idyllic life led by the rock
ribbed and buttressed Democracy. In the
Cincinnati News Journal, of yesterday, the
organ of the Hoadly wing, there is letter
signed by J. II. Putnam, of Chillicothe, ad-
dressed to Mr.. John r. Mclean, OF the Ei1-
cinnati Enquirer, which paper is the under
dog in the fight at present Mr. Putnam is a
Democrat with journalistic proclivities, for he
says he "has lost may thousands of dollars in
publishing Democratic newspapers" and the
purpose of his card is to invite Mr.. Mclean
to continuance of the warfare upon him
(Putnam) if he (McLean) thinks best. Ac
cording to Mr.. Putnam, friendship for
Senator Pendleton Judge Hoadly, Mr..
Thompson, or any other distinguished DEM
ocrat who is under the ban of your displeas-
ure, inours the penalty of running the gaunt-
let of the swarm of cut-throats and assassins
of character you have employed to do your
bidding" MIR. McLean's cut-throats and as
sassins seem to have been getting in their
hellish work on Mr.. Putnam, who says: III
my forty-five years residence in Central
Ohio and intimate acquaintance with its
people furnishes no shield capable of ward
ing the shafts of your pimps and
scavengers, shall uncover my breast to
,,1t r. b. h. tod hot Mr.
Putnam failed to qualify his assertion by
saying ''manly breast" but that is of minor
importance Mr.. Putnam proceeds to say to
Mr.. Mclean: at seems that your ordinary
staff of ghouls was not equal to the task you
had in hand, and you have employed a
drunken loafer and perennial deadpeat, a
pensioner upon his wifes labor for his daily
bread who vibrates between saloons, an un-
welcome specter at every gin-hole in Co.
lumbus." If this be true, the man ought to
be wild advocate of Hoadly, the general
being correct. These extracts are
probably enough to give a taste of
Mr.. Putnam's quality; but he manages be-
fore concluding to allude to Mr.. McLean's
hired men as anonymous sneaks and
Spies" and dropping into Shakespeare he
invites the Enquirer man to ''lay on, Nc
Duff, and BANKED be he" etcetera, etcetera
etcetera. The weather has been moderately
warm for June, and July starts in with a
promise of some rare and radiant red-hot
days. If Mr. Putnam, at this stage of the
canvass and with the heated term only just
fairly begun, can write in this temper, what
may not be hoped for in the way of friendly
correspondence from his pen in the future?
In other words, if this can be done in the
green tree, what may not be hoped for in the
dry. In the meantime, ecstatic harmony
will continue to prevail

THE number of failures so far this year in

over the same period of each of the two pre-

and dealing in futures, while the residue
