on Thursday afternoon by Senator John
Sherman, before largo open-air as
scmblage. j he speech was carefully
prepared in advance, and makes about
six ordinary newspaper columns. A
few passages upon the changed condi-
ton of affairs i'm the national admins
tration are as follows: "Some of the
very men who boastfully threatened to
break up the Union, and, with the
oath of Office in support of the Consti-
tuition fresh Oil their lips, conspired
and confedcrated to overthrow it,
wagcd war against it and were the
cause Of the loss Of u half a million
lives and thousands of millions Of
treasure, have been placed in high
Offices again, in the very seats of pow

and defiance. Two members of the
Confederate Congress and one man
who sympathized with them are at the
head Of the great departments of the
government. saw the Union flag at
half mast floating over the Interior
Department in sign of honor and
mourning for the death of Jacob

The railroads leading to Charleston

News concerning the crops is mea-

BARNwELL, August 81, 1885.
To tile Editor Of tie Colnm6ta Register::
AT it's late session i'm Charleston the |
Board of Visitors of the State Military |
Academy, with full attendance Of its |
members, had to deal with complicated |
and delicate matters affecting tho well |
fare Of the Academy as well as in
volving the rights and feelings of indi- |
viduuls.
They acted upon the issues present
cd, giving to the public at the time i'm
as brlcf terms as possible the results ut
which they had arrived; proposing
also to themselves in due course to Law
before the Legislature, in their annual
report, full statement of the facts and
reasons upon which their action was
based. This is the usual course IN
obedience to the mandate of the Act of
Assembly establishing the military
school, that the Board shall "in each
| and every year make q minute and full
report OF the condition and manage
mcnt OF said school to the Governor.
TO be by him laid before the Legisla-
| turc."
Another consideration inducing the
rcticcncc Of the Board at the time of its
action was sincere desire to avoid
wounding the feelings of individuals
by giving unnecessary notorictv to
what had been done in The conscicn-
tlous discharge of painful duty.
Finaily-Ncwspapcr discussion con-
temporary with the exercise of discip-
line must, however tcmporatelv con
Quoted, injuriously affect a military
, institution. a standing order of the
Academy forbids it to officers and
, cadets while they sustain that relation
; and should the Board voluntarily en-.
bark on such course and the discus
sion by possibility involve these per
; sons, there would be presented the
ungcncrous spectacle of it's critcisine
in the public prints those who by i
were forbidden 70 reply through tina

These considerations in which full,
r concurrcd, were conclusive TO TN,
Board, and determined the position i
: took.
+ Since the adjournment Of the Board
:. communications have gone to the pres
!, from individuals affected, or from thci,

mcnt officially made by the Board

the United States Supreme Court of
that district for "a writ of ha6eus cor
pas to discharge him on the ground
that the Reconstruction laws under
which he was held were contrary to
the Constitution OF the United States,
four Judges of the Supreme Court held
that the laws were constitutional and
five held that they were mconstitu-
tional. Judge Davis was for the un-
constitutionaity of the laws. When
the morning came for the announce

defer 1T for week. Judge Davis's
vote carried the adjournment. In the

Congress repeating the authority Of tho
Supreme Court to hear appeals in

through both houses and passed. 1t

TIE CAROLINE ISLANDS.
Tho Territory Forming tho Cause of Prou-
BILE between Spain and Germany.


(Fr0m the 81. James Gazette.)
The Caroline Islands are Il rcinarka-
Die group OF coral formations in the
Northern Pacific. They are, perhaps,
of no great strategic Importance, since
they lie ON the road to nowhere in
particular; but, from the point Of view
OF the archnologist, they are interest
ing in the extreme. Certain Dutch
navigators, who visited them nearly a
generation ago, returned to Europe
With wonderful stories concerning the
gigantic ruins that had been discovered
on some of the smaller islcts at the
eastern end of the archipelago, but it
was not until 1888 that anything ap-
proaching to systematic survey of
the group was undertaken. In that
year her Majesty's ship Espiegle
touched at many OF the islands, and
those officers who went ashore found
that the magnifcence Of the re-
mains had not been exaggerated. The
most imposing ruins are at Metalanim
liarbor, in POnape, and at Chabrol
labor, i'll Kusaic, and III idea of their
grandeur may be formed from the fact
that some of The stones of the build
lngs measure as much rs thirtv-fiye
lceI lonS Oy twenty feet broad and
fittcen feet thick. They are ornament
ep with rude sculptures, which bear
family resemblance to the we'll known
sculptures of Easter Island, in the
Southern Pacific. Yet Easter Island
and the Carolincs are fully 5000 miles
apart, and, so far as is discovcrable.
there has never been any communica-
ton between them. The object and
origin of the monuments are alike UNI
known. II may be added that the
Caroline group, which was discovered
by Spain in 1926, has hitherto, even by
German geographers, been regarded as
n Spanish possession, although for
years there have been no Spanish resi-
dents on any Of the islands. The ex-
tent of the land surface of the group
is rather moro than three 800 square
miles, and the estimated population is
about $4,000 souls, all of whom are of
the Malay race.

AN INTERESTING STORY.

Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs.
George Fickland, II McAfcc street, At
lanta, Ca, and from her own lips C0nsti-
tutton reporter learned the following ap-
palling story:
Several months ago she became almost
ooCaily Dlnd and dear, and could not taste
anything except salt Her bones became
inc seat OF intense pain, her joints We're
swollen and painful, and eventually her
whole body and limbs became covered with
Splotches and small sores. Her appetite
failed, and she gradually lost flesh and
strength, and had but little use of herself,
as her limbs and muscles were paralyZcd.
She, as well as her friends and those with
whom she lived, deSpaircd OF her recovery.
her SutfcringS, combined with loss of hear
ing and taste, and blindness, were truly
hGartrCnding.
All treatment from physicians and the
use OF medicines seemed poWerlcss. Her
disease was blood poison and rheumatism.
AS she now seemed we'll and hearty the
reporter asked what wrought such Won
derlul change.
81 used madeleine recommended by
friend, she replied, ''and before one bottle
had been taken | began to see and hear.
The second bottle relieved all rheumatic
pains and improved my appetite. When /
had completed the use of six bottles my
eyesight and hearing were fully restored,
sense of taste returned, all splotches disap.
peared, sores all healed, and my strength
and flesh restored l now feel as well as /

The reporter tEcn sought n physician
who knew the case, whcreupon he handed
us the following lines:

{ froDt tie Carolina 8parfnn.)

mlstress In Spnrtanburg.
(hroDe The Carolina Spartnn.)
Several years ago when it was
difficult to get postmaster at the
small offices, the people about Camp.
ton secured the appointment of Miss
Lizzie Camp. Mr.. Bray was In bust
ness there and he took charge of the
Office and attended to the business,
Squire Camp and DR.. Dean went on
Miss Camps bond. The reports we're
made out regularly and DR.. Dean
always attended to these to see If they
were correct. In 1879 Miss Camp was
notified that her Office was i'm arrears
something over 1928. This was a sur
prise. DIR. Dean went over all the
reports and verified them and ascer-
tanned that the office was owing the
department only three dollars and q
few cents. But he and Squire Camp
concluded to pay up the amount claim
cd rather than have q squabble with
the PostofflCe Department and perhaps
have their Office closed. a few days
ago Miss Camp was notified that there
was an amount placed to her credit in
the Department and that if she conld
send on q statement of her manage
ment the money would be paid. The
papers had all been kept and copies of
the reports forwarded and pronounced
satisfactory, and Miss Camp was
notified that she would soon receive q
check for the amount due. The ex-
planation of the transaction is that
Miss Camp was assessed &20 for cleo
ton purposes, and not responding with
the money, it was charged up to her
and taken out of her salary. This is
dishonest partisanship of the worst
type.
