whether Blaine viii be a Presidential
candidate or not is the occasion Of a good
deal Of gossip. There is an impression
that he does not intend TO be candidate,
but that he proposes to dictate the nomi-
nation. His ambition, it is said, is to be
the boss Of the next administration, pro-
vided, Of course. that it is Republican.
He wants to be the power behind the
throne. as he was in the Garfield admins
tration. II this is his programme he may
come nearer carrying it out than if he
should attempt to secure the nomination
himself Had Garfield lived it is probable
that Blaine would have been recognized
as the controlling spirit of the administra-
ton. Garfield was intellectually Blaine's
equal. if not his superior, but he lacked
Blaine's courage. If Blaine is able to
name the candidate Of his party, and his
party is successful, he will shape
the administration, doubtless, and
will exercise almost as much power
as if he were President. The
prospect that he will be able to dictate
the conventions choice is good. He has
a large following in every State, and it is
pretty certain that a strong minority Of
the delegates will be his friends. 1t is
asserted that he is quietly working to
have as many of his friends in the con-
vention as possible. The position of boss
of the administration is almost as attrac-
tive as the position of President. To
man like Blaine, who likes to exercise
power, it must be very inviting. II he
pursues the plant outlined and succeeds
he will enjoy the credit Of directing the
administration without having to bear its
burdens and responsibilities.

Interesting South Carolina Figures.
The Charleston Nelrs and Courier on
Monday published some figures relative
n the industrial progress Of south caro-
lima which show an increase in the agri-
cultural and manufacturing wealth Of

state were half as large again as they

products of the mines last year, including

In agriculture the progress Of the state
has been equally remarkable. The cotton

bushels in excess Of the crop Of 1850 Last
wear was a bad year for farmers. The
cotton crop was short. Notwithstanding
that fact. however, the value Of the agri-
cultural products Of the state was Sil-

products Of the state was S76,5j4, p; IN

say that South Carolina is not making

Carolina, however, is not more than keep

South is shaking herself free from the in
cumbrances that weigh her down, and Is
lust beginning to develop the marvellous
resources which she possesses. and which
are to make her the wealthiest region Of
the world. The Neirs and Courier says
that the advance made in agriculture IN
South Carolina is due 70 the labor Of
white people. The time was when 1t was
thought that a white man could not work
in the fields Of the south. That idea IS
exploded The time is coming when the
crops Of the South will be made By white

The work Of making Presidential tickets

pose to Withdraw the negro vote from the
Republican party en- masse, and to noml-
nate Presidential ticket Of the OF color.
It is proposed TO head the ticket with
Robert Brown Elliott, who is decidedly
black and who was a member Of the
Fortv-second and Forty-tnird Congresses
from south Carolina, and who resigned to
become Sheriff of his county. The candi-
date suggested for Vice President is eX-
United States Senator p. B. :. Pinchbeck,
Of Louisiana. II is not thought likely
that the colored people can be united on
the ticket in the approaching campaign,
and What the real object Of the ticket IS 1t
l. hard 70 conceive. 1t is barely possible
that the contest between the Logan and
Arthur factions for the cOlOred support
may have something to do with this-as a
kind Of mysterious flank movement.

Whipping the Rival that Displaced MIN
and then Jumping Under Train.
What is generally believed to be a case
of deliberate suicide by dog occurred at
Warwick, n. Y, last week. The ami
NAL was valuable and intelligent bird
dog. owned by Mr.. S. Sliker, a we'll
known resident of Warwick. Mr.. Sliker
recently purchased a new dog, and, as
he found some difficulty in demonstrating
it. he treated it with more than usual
kindness and attention. The old dog
manifested great disapproyal of the treat
ment of the new conner, and showed un-
mistakable jealousy. His master per-
sisted in making much of the new dog,
and the old one finally attacked his rival,
gave it a severe whipping and then left
the premises and took up his quarters at
the Wawayanda House. He was treated
very kindly there and refused to return to
his old home. The dog had always been
almost boisterous in his activity, but after
leaving his master he became mOrOse and
sulkv. lie rarely left the hotel. Alter he
had been IN his new quarters day or so
il was discovered that he seemed to find
singular fascination in railroad trains,
and each train that passed by would find
him standing close by the track, where he
would gaze with apparently great inte-
rest at the rolling wheels. One day last
week he was seen standing in his usual
position by the track. A train was APP
Droaching As it was passing where the
dog stood he sprang suddenly on the rail
between the front and rear wheels of car
and was instantly torn to pieces.
