MUTUALLY CONVICTED.

Attorney General Brewster, it is stated,
has written a letter to Ex.Gov. Manning
of this State, who was his classmate in
College, that he does not desire the
prosecution in this State OF the election
cases. but that District Attorney Mellon
has assured the Department that the
cases ought to be prosecuted, and that
convictions can be had in them. Thus
it appears that Brewster blames Melton
for the prosecutions. while it has hereto
fore been stated that Melton blames
Brewster, ak. claims that he is merely
executing the unpleasant duty assigned
him by his superiors. Mr.. Melton has
not contradicted the published statement
that lie had urged these prosecutions.
Therefore, we have no trouble in reach
iHx u conclusion that he is guilty. AIr.
Brewster has the control Of the whole
matter, and could easily inform himself
as to the true state Of affairs TO these
election cases. He knows that jures
hive been packed to secure convictions.
Ee knows men have been, and Sill are,
being dragged from their homes "n the
p.iured evidence Of unprincipled vii
lains. Despite this knowledge he let's it
90 OH, and employs several vindiclive,
malicious haters Of our people Ia assist
in these prosecutions. Therefore He are
forced to the conclusion that Mr.. Brew
ster states untruly when he says that he
does not syn.rsthjze with these Infamous
prosecutions. He and Melton are evil
IDENTIFY both engaged in the most congo
nial work. The Greenbackers are to
furnish the evidence, and the Depart
ment Of Justice undertakes to enforce
convictions. We apprehend that this
course will not gain any respectable
allies, either in 1r out of the State, for
the Republican party, or its little allies,
the GrcenbhcKers.

THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA.

The Democratic State Convention,
which met in Atlanta ON Tuesday, the
10th inst, to nominate a candidate for
Governor of Georgia to succeed the late
Governor Stephens, resulted in surprise
to politicians on both sides Of the river.
The race was thought to be between act
ing Governor Boynton and Hon. A. o.
Bacon, the Speaker of the House Of
Representatives. 1t was bitter between
the advocates oe these gentlemen,
and the friends of other distinguished
men of Georgia mentir them as
compromise candidates, b was gener.
ally believed that either Bacon or Boyn-
ton would be nominated, with chances
rather favoring the latter. The ballot
opened on Tuesdny as follows: A. O.
Bacon, las; J. 8. Boynton, l39; H. D.
Mcdaniel, SO; Phillip Cook, IA; and
Z. j. Simmons, 6. Necessary to choice
l76. Five ballots we're had on Tuesday
without material change. On Wednes-
day seventeen ballots were had, the last
of which stcod Bacon, 1856; Boyn,on,
14S; Mcdaniel, 81; Cook, Is. On
Thursday q committee Of conference,
consisting of six Boynton, six Bacon,
four Mcdaniel and two Cook men, were
appointed. The conference committee,
after various efforts to reach solution
as between the two leading candidates,
agreed to recommend the nomination of
Mr.. Mcdaniel, and the report of the
committee was unanimously adopted, 90
that tho Hon. Henry D. Mcdaniel will
bs the next Governor of Georgia.
The following is a sketch of the nom.
inee:
Mr. Mcdaniel is . native of Walton
County, Georgia. The most of his life
before manhood, howsycr, was spent In
Atlanta. His father was man Of limi-
ted means. Young Mcdaniel, however,
through perseverance, and laudable ambi.
tlon, worked his way into Mercer Col
lege. then situated in Penfield, Georgia.
He graduated with the frst honor of his
class.
After graduating he studied law and
located In Monroe. Walton County, to
practice his profession. He has repre-.
sented consecutively Walton County and
the Twenty.seventy Senatorial District,

ia which said county is located, for a

III which said county 10 located, Tor O
space of ten years.
Mcdaniel also represented Walton
County in the Convention of 1861 being
the youngest member thereof. He was
one of the committee who framed the
present Senatorial districts Of the State,
being position then of importance and
responsibility.
He entered the army in the Eleventh
Georgia Regiment. In 1862, by his
gentlemanly bearing aud thoroug ghness
as young soldier, lie was elected its
major. He was severely wounded iu the
abdomen the minnie ball still being in
him now-n July, 1863, on his retreat
through Maryland from Gettysburg, be-
ing in command of his regiment. He
was taken prisoner and spent five
months in hospitals in Maryland and
Pennsylvania, and the remainder Of the
war At Johnson's Island.
After the clouds of one Of the blood.
lest civil wars the world ever saw had
well nigh blown over, he was elected by
his people member Of the Convention
Of 1865. After the crucial test of war
had been applied to him his people still
found him to be Of the right metal, and
one to whom they could entrust their
best aud dearest interest. The recon
struction act disfranchised him, but T.,
still took an active part in all Democratic
councils and all elections, and stood
firm to true Southern spirit, and fought
well all along the line np to 1872, when
the act of Congress of 1872 removed his
disabilities and the disabilities Of all
leading Southern men.
He was Immediately elected to the
House of Representatives from Walton
County. Mcdaniel was leading spirit
in all financial legislation while he was
in the House and Senate. He had
charge of the 8 per cent. loan, which re-
deemed the credit Of the State.
He was the author of the railroad tax
bill in 1874, by which all Of the railroads
were made to bear their part of the tax
es of the State--was the author of the
first bill that taxed banks. He was the
author Of the Act Of 1875, causing the
landlords lien for supplies 80 arise by
operation of law, without written con.
tract. He was the author of the Home
stead Act Of 1876, adjusting the equities
between parties, after the illegal sale Of
homesteads. This Act barred minors
as well as persons mi juris, after siz
months.

PROJECTED FACTORIES.

There are at the present time numer-
ous Gotten factories projected in South
Carolina, and from the interest manifest.
ed in this enterprise by the people of the
State, it "a more than probable that at o
very early period in the future South
Carolina will not only be the manufac-
turing center OF the South, but also of
the United States. From one copy of
the News and Courier we clip the follow
ing notices of new factories which are
likely to be completed very soon:
The Columbia correspondent, writing
under date Of April 18th, says:
Col. r. l.. Mclaughlin and Mr..
George s. Mower, of Newberry, reached
Columbia tonight on their return from
o ten days trip North in the interest of
proposed Newberry cotton mills. They
went as far North as Maine, not prima.
rily to secure subscriptions, but to get
from prominent mill architects an esti-
mste of the cost of the works. It was
estimated that from $4,000 to $4,000
would build cloth mill OF $4,000
spindles capacity and furnish it with
5000 spindles and the necessary accom-
paniment Of looms. Over 100000 has
already been subscribed in Newberry,
and Col. Mclaughlin has assurances that
if 1926, GOO more eau be raised in that
| town he can obtain the remainder of the
subscriptions elsewhere. Of this there
is very little doubt. The object is to
build the mill aud start with 5000
spindles, and when this beginning 10
made to increase the stock to 100000
and fill the mill with the full compile.
ment of 10000 spindles. Col McCaugh.
rim finds that Newberry can now get
Pennsylvania coal by way of Charleston
as cheap, or cheaper than Providence or
or other New England manufacturing
cities now get it. The Georgia Pacific
Railroad bonds were placed the other
day, and the completion of the road is
thus assured. When L. is finished next
fall, South Carolina can obtain coal much
cheaper than New England. The New.
berry mills are assured.
A Darlington correspondent says:
At meeting at the courthouse, few
nights ago, steps were taken to build a
cotton factory at this place Mt no distant
day. a committee of ten was appointed
to solicit subscriptions. 1t is proposed
to start operations with n capital of 500.
600. Nearly If not quite half the
amount has been already raised in town.
Everybody, old and young, of all trades
| and professions, is enthusiastic on the
subject

of Prosperity says:

AN UNFORTUNATE DECISION.

The determination Of the State Board
OF Agriculture not TO have our State rep.
resented at either the Boston or the
Louisville Exposition this Fall is, in our
opinion. very grave mistake. The Bos
ton Exposition will be great affair, at
witch the manufacturers and the agri.
GU. urists of the world will exhibit their
pr iucts, AID people from all parts of
this country and Europe will visit it for
the purpose Of seeing what is most won

human skill and industry. The people
who go there will be the intelligent, we'll.

from what they zee there, they will Judge
in iS!Sc measure of the merits Of the
various sections of America 1, is un~
fortunate that South Carolina is not TO
have place in this picture. We can
show the finest specimens Of phosphate
and kaolin to be found in the world,
with fair display Of other minerals
Our Sea Island cotton and rice are in
comparably better than those of any
other country, while our corn, wheat,
oats, barley, rye, upland cotton and
fruits, are the equal Of any in the coun-
try. In addition to this, it is desirable
to show samples Of our manufactures,
with statement of the profits that have
been derived from them. Also, our

claimed, and the fact made known that
fuel for factories can be obtained in
South Carolina considerably cheaper
than in New England. The range of
our products, extending from the semi-
tropical fruits and products to the grains
and fruits of the far North, presents mat
ters of such interest to those who are not
acquainted with our wonderful climate
and resources, that their advertisement
could not do otherwise than result in
great advantage to the State. South
Carolina has all along been too slow in
proclaiming her wonderful gifts from the
lavish hand of nature, and this action oi
the Bonrd of Agriculture seems to indi.
cate continuous of the old policy. II
is not progressive. AS to the statement
that the Board doubt their authority to
spend the necessary money, we think
their doubts come too late. They spent
Gwo thousand dollars in tho exhibit al

important to tho State, and iio question
was ever made By any one of the pro.
priety Of such expenditure. They row
have the unquestioned precedent, which
should settle the power to make the ex.
hibt. In the next place, we think tha,
the Board would do we'll to curtail some
of it's enterprises sufficiently to make the

LET lis HAVE "A COLLEGE.

In various sections of the State We Oh.
serve that successful efforts have been
made to establish Colleges, or Academies
ofa high grade Of learning, and would
like to zee Anderson hestowing some
attention to this important subject. We
have here the buildings necessary for
lecture-rooms, and also boarding house
capable of accommodating over one hun.
dred students, all of which belongs to
the Carolina Collegiate Institute Associ-

high order should be established, the
boarding house could be SO managed as

would, of course, bring the amount of

be considerable addition to the impor-
tauce and prosperity of Anderson. Hav.
ing tho buildings already erected, the
amount of money necessary to start a

BUFFALO, April 1.-THE Hon. Rich
ard Crowley was asked by reporter to-
day to give his reasons for withdrawing
from the prosecution of the South Caro-.
lima election fraud cases. his withdrawal
having caused unfavorable comment con.
cerning his relations with President
Arthur's administration. In response he
said: II asked to be excused from serv-
ing in those cases becsuss my duties
require my presence here. Mr. Movins,
my partner, has been sick and Kept at
home for some weeks, and is not likely
to be able to attend to business for two
or three weeks to come. Mr.. Wilcox,

that the Attorney General reduced my

not so. The bill was fair and reasona-
BILE one."
Mr.. Crowley then read 20 the reporter
o portion of q letter received from the
Attorney General, In which the latter
expressed bis deep regret at Mr.. Crow.
ley's inability to act In the cases. The
letter was couched In the most cordial

Crowley, II can only say shat they are
