A special from PeeksEill, n. Y, says:

mouth church, spent the entire morning
with Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. Gen.
King had just returned from Buffalo,
where he had gone at Mr.. Beecher's re-
quest TO investigate the libelous stories
circulated by an obscure newspaper
about Governor Cleveland The result
eff the investigation was altogether IA
vorable to the governor. and Mr.. Beecher,
after expressing his pleasure at what he
heard, declared his intention of contlnu-
ing to give his fullest support to Mr..
Cleveland. In conversation subsequent
ly MIR Beecher said he had been under
going a judicial process. but now the
clouds have broken away and he was he
ginning to understand that these stories
about Gov Cleveland are untrue and a
vile SANDER you can say, he said
warmly, that expect to brand themen
who have promulgated these stories as
blaekmailers and liars, for I now see
that the governor acted the part of Q
man in the whole affair shall take the
stump for him and tell the people of the
country that they must elect him presi-
dent. shall enter this campaign with
an enthusiasm second only to that with

A gold spike is being manufactur-

be driven when the last rail is laid
upon the Canton, Aberdeen and
Nashville Railroad. The driving of
a silver spike is not an uncommon
event, but we do not remember but
one previous occasion upon which a
gold spike was used, and that was
when the Northern Pacific road was
completed.
The road will reach US early in
July, and we have no doubt but that
the driving of the gold spike will be
attended with ceremonies and festivi-
ties BETTING the occasion.

The Crop Outlook.

Under the influence of the blazing
sun that we have had for several
days past, the cotton is doing its
level best and growing right straight
along. The stands are excellent; the
fields clean; the plants healthy and
the prospects are to-day altogether
fair for good crop.
The corn outlook is excellent, and
il we can have rains at seasonable
times from now on, the harvest will
be enormous.
