CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.
YORKVILLE. 8. e. /:

From the present outlook, the most in
teresting Congressional race in this State
will be in the Fourth or Columbia District.
Col. F. w. McMaster, of Columbia, has pub
lished card formally declaring himself
candidate, and besides him, the following
candidates are said to be in the field: Col.
Leroy F. Youmans, Col. VIM. Wallace, also
ofColumbia; COL McKissick, of Union; Col.
w. H. Perry, of Greenville, and Hon. John
H. Evins, of Spartanburg. Each county IN
the district, except Laurens, has a candl-
date, and it is fair to presume that Laurens
will vet be represented in the list of those
aspiring to Congressional honors. All the
gentlemen above named are lawyers and
men of prominence. Col. McMaster is an
able lawyer. He rendered effective service
in the memorable campaign of 1876, can
wasting the State and making speeches at
many points, without the stimulus of politi-
cal reward to himself as the motive, and he
has ever been conspicuous in his advocacy
of the public schools of the State. Col. YOU
mans is ex-Attorney General of the State,
and has wide reputation as an eloquent
speaker. COL Wallace is State Senator from
Richland county, and a man of decided
ability. Col. Perry is State Senator from
Greenville. He is a son of Ex-Governor
Perry, and like his distinguished father, is
a man of intellect. Col. McKissick is a
Representative from Union county. He is
we'll know in York, having been supported
by our people for Congress in Radical days,
when he canvassed this district in opposi-
ton to Hon. A. S. Wallace. Col. McKissick
is a man of natural ability and is noted for
his genial humor and never-failing fund of
anecdote. Hon. John H. Evins, who it
seems desires another election, has been
elected four times, three terms of his SER
vice while York was a part of his Con-

POLITICAL NOTES.

james Gordon Benefits evening paper,
the Telegram, has come out in support of
Arthur and Lincoln for President and Vice
President, and it is thought the Herald will
soon follow suit.
The Tennessee State Greenback Conven-
ton, at Nashville, last week, was attended
by only twelve or fifteen delegates, and
half of this number were from Nashville.
A platform was adopted, and w. j. Buchan-
an was nominated for Governor.
The Democratic State ticket was elected
in Louisiana by 10000 majority, which is
a great falling off. The Democratic NUM-
cipal ticket was elected in New Orleans
over the Republican and Independent cam
didates.
The Iowa State Democratic Convention,
at Burlington last week, was the largest and
most enthusiastic in the history Of the State
1ilden Delegates were sent to the National
Convention, and a tariff reform platform
was adopted.
The Republicans of the Eighth Congress
sional District of North Carolina met at
Lenoir on Friday last. Delegates were
elected to the Chicago Convention and in
structed to vote for Arthur and Lincoln as
first choice.
The Massachusetts Greenback State Con-
vention met last week in Lynn and elected
delegates atlarge to the National Greenback
convention. "A pldCIOrIn was duOpCeQ anu
resolution passed declaring the belief that
greenback currency must soon appear as
the basis of the national currency.
&C. NJ. Wilder, the colored postmaster at
Columbia, denounces A. w. Curtis, O. color
ed henchman of Brayton, in the Register.
Curtis charged in recent speech that Post
master Wilder had conspired with A. c.
Haskell in 1876 to have all the Republicans
in Columbia murdered on the occasion of a
torchlight procession.
In the Democratic State Convention at
Louisville, Ky, last Saturday, preferences
for Mcdonald and Tilden were divided
about equally. In spite Of Mr.. Watterson''s
refusal to be a delegate-at-large to the Chi
cago Convention quite number of counties
instructed for him.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
thinks there will be no solid South this sea-
son. It says: South Carolina, like Louisi-
ana, sends an uninstructed delegation to
Chicago, but in Alabama and Tennessee the
delegates favor Arthur. 1t is already appa.-
rent, however, that there will be no solid
Southern delegation working for any one
candidate.

SOUTH CAROLINA HAND BOOK.

We acknowledge the receipt from the State
Department Of Agriculture of a handsome vol
ume of ING octave pages, entitled: "South Caro-
lima: Resources and Population: Institutions
and Industries The work has been compiled
with much labor and after untiring research by
Harry Hammond, Esq, and is intended to show
in true light the wonderful resources and capa-
biities of our State. In this comprehensive vol
ume may be found treated every subject bearing
upon the climate, the soil, the productions, min
erals and resources and industries of the State;
and while the work was published by the De-
partment of Agriculture with the view Of in
ducing immigration, by circulating the book
abroad, it is volume which would prove val
liable accession to any private library in the
State. We are induced to believe that the publi-
cation has accomplished good results abroad
already, and that it will accomplish great deal
yet by diverting to our section the attention of
the Northern capitalist and the thrifty immi-
grant. AS one result Of the book, the Columbia
Register of Saturday says:
A gentleman of New York, q miner, writes to
Colonel Butler that the Handbook Of South Car
olina has aroused much interest in the resources
of this State and the writer proposes at all early
day to bring his family to York county, where
they will settle.
The Hand Book has been favorably reviewed
by a number of influential northern papers,
which has created for it quite demand from
persons seeking homes in the South

EASTERN YORK.

A business letter from Fort Mill, Of date of last
Friday, concludes as follows:
eve are having an extra amount of rain, de-
laying cotton planting, but causing small grain
to look fine and promising. 1t is hoped that the
rains of this Spring will prove the forerunners OF
a rich season and bountiful harvests. Our part
of York is still improving. More grain OF all
kinds has been planted the past season than ever
before, and our people are viewing their sur
roundngs correctly. The Western fever is grad
ualy dying out, and the bad effects it has hereto
fore exerted in this section are disappearing

vile boy, who entered the United States Naval
Academy from South Carolina, soon after the
war, graduating with distinction about the year

Lieutenant George NJ. Stoney, who has risen to
distinction in the United States Navy, has gone
on an exploring expedition through the Alaskan
territory. The government fitted up vessel
and manned it with a crew of twelve sailors, fur
nished it with provisions and everything else re-
quisite to arctic trip, and placed it at his COM
mand. He sailed from San Francisco about two
weeks ago. Lieut.. Stoney was with the ill-fated
Rogers when she was burned in the arctic re-
gions, and was one of the few Of the crew who
made their way in safety southwark over the
ice fields, coming at length upon tribe of In
dians who fed and cared for them until they
were rescued. In appreciation of the services
of these Indians, the government supplied
Lieut.. Stoney with large store Of presents to
