General IiemphiH for Secretary of
State
TO the Editor Of tic E'olumLiu Reg

10 TIE Editor Of tic EolumLiu Reg-
lister.
There has been no recognition in tbc
way OF the bcstowal Of public office of
the great services to the Stat, since
1876 Of the press of South Carolina.
Its editors. as 4 rule, have been con-
tent with making regulations for others
ana have not sought TO advance them
selves.
There seems to be good reasons at
This hme Tor a new departure in this
respect. and on grounds Of public pol
ICY 1t would seem to be wise that in
the composition Of the State ticket
every element Of our social and politi-
cal life should find appropriate recogni-
tion. Any attempt ut class distinctions
should be avoided, and so far as it is
possible to do so our State ticket should
represent the agricultural, commercial,
manufacturing and professional inter.
cStS.
With this view | nominate for Sccrc-
tary of State Gen .ral Robert II Hemp
hill OF Ahbeville. 1t so happens that on
most OF the questions on which people
arcdlvIdcd in opinion, | have never been
on the same side with kim, but no enc
who knows him has ever questioned
his uprlShtneSs of character, his ability
ana his devotion to the best interests OF
the State.
AS soldier, his ord is second tc
none. AS an editor he has been always
independent and true. Ant as q
Legislator he has been at all times an
earnest advocate o~feconomy in admins
t%ration.
Among his WI people Of Abbcvillc
.hese fine qualities have fou%ndIapprecia,
uon' and his probable, 1 may say Ger
fa'n' election, unopposcd, to the State
Senate, IL he be 4 candidate for tina,

this :l%uncture are regarded in the public

SOFIA, Sept. IS When the Russian
agent here was presented with the 50
braDie's telegram to the car, pray ing for
his friendship and protection. the agent
said; Prince Alexander departure has
removed the obstacle TO good relations
between Russia and Bulgaria, which was
a source Of great danger to the prosperity
of Bulgaria, which Russia has at heart.
Russia cannot admit even the idea oil
Prince Alexander returning TO Bulgaria
This fact, therefore, is one guarantee of
the happiness and internal in ependence
which your telegram mentions. Other
guarantees you possess within yourselv's
in moderation aud in concord. Remem
Der well that the powers have not yet
formally sanctioned the present urdci Of
things IN Bulgaria. and that their sanc-
ton can only be acquired by prudence and
moderation in the present government
end on the part of mruibers of the future
great assembly. Russia never protected
any party. Russia desires harmony among
you all, and she especially desires that
your government shall be above all party
spirit
The president of the sobranie then
questioned the agent regarding the iden
tty OF the new candidate for the Bulgar
ian throne. In reply. that i%unctionary
said hat it would entirely depend on the
powers. In his private capacity, the
agent added, he had no Information TO
give, saving: The jury which has been
elected does not know what it will have TO
adiudge; the assembly must elect whom it
thinks best capable of representing the
dignity of Bulgaria.
The Russians in Bulgaria deny all com
plicity in the seizure and deposition Of
Prince Alexander. but have advised mod
Grafton in the treatment OF those who
were implicated. in order to maintain
quiet and prevent discomfort from spread
ing. The Russians say they consider that
now the object of the plot is removed, no
one can proceed against the actors in the
plot.
Bulcarians rejoice that the BULGARIAN
question has assumed a more interna
tional character. They think this tend
to avert danger of an armed occupation
Bulgarian deputies are anxious to know
what candidate for the Bulgarian throne
would be acceptable To the powers befor
proceeding to the election Of Prince Alex
ander's successor. and they are unwillinI
to choose a candidate whom the power
might reject. The sobranie closes it
present session To day A ukase will b

PugilistIcs Pounding.

PITTsBURG, Sept lS.-Every body in
Pittsburg has been talk NJ about the great
fight, the contest that was to settle an
aching doubt in the minds of the Amer
lean people as to whether John l.. Suli
van really was invincible or whether a
comparatively unknown gladiator from
Philadelphia. F K Heard, possessed
skill, backed b, lu (. to plant his fist on
Mr. Sullivan u ass often enough to
score a majority y. the thumps playfully
called points. The immense coliseum,
with ia capacity of 5000, was thrown
open at I O'Clock, an the crowd which
then had been clamorine AROUND the doors
for an hour made a rush. Two dollars
admission and IS for reserved seats
was evidently not an exorbitant rate
in the eyes Of the Pittsburgers, and thou
sands of people went in the hall as fast as
they could buy tickets.
1t was 9:55 when Heard entered the
ring, and exactly 10 O'Clock when the
referee called time. Both men sprang
lightly forward and shook hands, giving
the audience their first opportunity to
compare each other closely. Sullivan
weighed POS pounds and Heard lS5
pounds, but it was hard to believe that
there was a difference of only twenty
pounds between them. Gloves of four
ounces looked very small, and everybody
felt that if the intention was to slug it
could be done with terrible effect. Ring
attendants received a shower of orders to
sit down and not obstruct the view. AS
Sullivan and Hcarl I came to the center
Tor business that was to be business, it
could be seen that Sullivan's eye was
flashing %ominously, while Hearld's red
head nodded here and there as the two
spared for an opening. Both were very
cautious. but Sullivan evinced the most
desire to begin. He made several fcints
at Heard, but the latter, 1.-THE and active
as a cat, GOT away and danced around the
big man in a most aggravating manner
Sullivan was evidently getting mad, but
Heard face was as expressiunless as a
stand it any longer. He made one of his
handler into Hearlds stom
ach. Heard countered rapidly
aud was determined to do his best. He
tried to geta Sullivan 5 face, but hit short.
In an instant he was in the embrace of his
antagonist, who pounded away on his
head, face and neck with all the force of
his brawny right arm until Heard slipped
away and gave Sullivan a drive under the
eve. That was the only clean blow ne got
in on the champion. The latter seemed
staggered for AN instant. and was appar-
emily too surprised to do moro than de
fend himself from the blows that Heard
was shuwering on him. The contest
proved to be what was generally expected,
a desperate fight for blood. While the
