WASHINGTON, November 2.-Repre-
sentatives She'll and Brawley called on
the Secretary of Agriculture to-day to
press the appointment of Major Harry
Hammond as assistant Secretary OF
Agriculture. They called the alton
tention of Mr.. Morton to the peculiar
fitness of Major Hammond for the
place. 1t Is very desirable that this
appointment should go to some one
from the cotton States familiar with
their great staple, and it is doubtful if
there Is any man from the South who
has SO many qualifications for this
office.
The following fourth-class postmas-
ters were to-day appointed in South
Carolina: E. G. Clark, Inman, Spar
tanhurg; j. e. McClintock, Ora,
Laurens, and Miss l.. e. Kingman,
Ridgeville, Colleton.
j. M. Waddell has been appointed
postmaster at Darlington. The nomi-
nation was sent to the Senate late this
afternoon, accompanied by the appoint
ment of e. M. Emanuel to similar
position at Bennettsville. The latter
| selection occasioned no surprise, as
MIR. Emanuel is personal friend and
neighbor of Representative McLaurin,
and 1T is customary to permit the Con-
gressman to name the postmaster at
his own home. In the naming of Mr..
| Waddell for the Darlington office the
President has surprised the Conserva-
| tive element in the South Carolina
colony, who expected Mrs. Law to be
reappointed. This estimablc lady
held the Office under MIR. Clevelands i
previous Administration and she was
strongly urged for reappointment by
Gen. Wade Hampton, Ex-Governor
Hugh 5. Thompson and many other
prominent Conservative Democrats.
Senator Butler is said to have been
one of her original endorsers, but now
the, friends Of Mr.. Waddell assert that
both of the South Carolina Senators
have sanctioned his appointment.
Representative McLaurin enthusiast.
cally claims that Waddell's appoint
ment is personal victory for him.
MIR. <Waddell is at present one of the
doorkeepers in the House of Repre-.
sentatives and he was brought forward
as a substitute for j. p. Kirven, who
was the original choice of Mr. Nc.
Laurin. AS is well known there has
been q long and bitter contest over
this office, and according to Repre-.
sentative McLaurin several street
fights grew out of the controversy
Charges against the personal character
OF Kirven were made to the President
and Postmaster General Bissell, which
necessitated the withdrawal OF his
nomination. Mr.. McLaurin had ar
interview with the President on the
subject. and the latter positively de
clined to appoint Kirven. The friends
of Mrs. Law urged her claims per
sistently, but it seems that their effort,
wore ofno avail. When Mr.. McLaurir
learned that his first choice could no
win he asked permission to name
another man, hence Waddell wa
chosen. The latter will immediatel,
relinquish his appointment under tn,
doorkeeper of the House of Represen
tatives, and the vacancy will be givei
to Il. A. EARLY, of Darlington.

The obscquies OF Carter Harrison
were the occasion OF the most magniti-
cent funeral pageant ever witnessed in
Chicago, and it is doubtful If anything
more imposing has been seen in any
other city on the American continent.
Not only Chicago, but other cities in
nlionois, Wisconsin and Iowa furnish
ed representatives in the funeral cor
tege, (which was miles in length.
Floral tributes were unprecedentedly
beautiful, and the vault at Graceland
Cemetery was fairly embedded in
fragrant blooms. A hundred thousand
people viewed the remains Of the dead

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE
General Hampton Announces His
Readfncss to Organize National
Democratic Clubs Throughout The

State.
Mr.. n. G. Gonzales, the editor Of The
State, has received the following let
ter from Gen. Wade Hampton:
| WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 81, 1873.
| My Dear Sir: Some DAYS ago yol
called attention through your paIer t
the fact that | was Fioe-Presidsnt o.
the National Association of pemo
cratic Clubs, and since then have
seen in several Of our Democratic pa
pers reference made to your staement
and in one instance the question was
asked why no action had beei taker
by myself.
/ have waited to ascertain he views
OF the Democratic press of Solth Caro-
lima, for these papers represent, in
my opinion, the only true democratic
sentiment of the State, and this sen,
timent should be expressed by what
are called the Conservative papers
| My own Judgment is clesr, that the
time has come when the line should
be drawn between those who stand on
stand on that of the National Democ-
racy. No man who upholls the former
can claim properly to be q Democrat,
and unless our people chose to support
the fallacies OF the Ocala adherents or
to be led into the Popuist party, the
true Democrats of the State should
organize to maintain tie principles OF
the Democratic party Is set forth in
the Chicago platform.
If my Democratic fellow citizens
agree with me that this is the true pol
icy to be adopted, | slall at once pro-
ceed to organize National Democratic
Clubs throughout the State, and shall
exert my utmost efforts to keep the
State, where it properly belongs, in the
great Democratic column.
J. believe that this can be done, for
our people will scarcely now, in the
hour of victory for.ake the flag they
followed so steadfastly and so faithfully
when that flag went down in defeat.
Unscrupulous demagogues have, by
false promises, misled many of our
most honest men, and they have
brought shame upon our proud State.
L still have abiding faith in the men
who followed the'starry cross through
trials and carnage who bore, with the
heroism of marUrs, the sufferings of
the reconstruction era, and who, with
q devotion and pluck never surpassed,
rescued the State in '76. Those men
cannot forget the past, nor can they
forsake the tanner under which the
victory of '76 vas won.
III l can olce more give aid to my
State 1 shall gladly enlist in her SER
vice, and l shall rejoice to join those
who seek to maintain her welfare, to
protect her honor and to save her from
shame and Disgrace.
an very truly yours,
WADE HAMPTON.

FIGURES FROM THE FAIR.
The Won dis Columbian Exposition q
Grand Financial Success.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-With the grand
total of q, l47 ,2l2 paid admissions, the
Worlds Fair was officially closed last
night. Though these figures repre-
sent the paid admissions during the
time allotted by Congress in which the
exposition should be kept open, yet it
is calculated that ], ZOO, 900 more tickets
will bo purchased before the beautiful
White City is dismantled and levelled
to the ground. When the fair closed
Sunday night, the total paid admis-
sions up to that time were 81 ,269, ,039.
When the receipts were counted last
| night tho total was u AT, PIP. The total
number of admissions on passes was
2,O52, 1SS, making grand total of
%. 529, 400. After the debt of the World s
Fair has been paid, there will remain
at least $l,O00,O0O, and perhaps more
to be distributed among the stock
holders.
Since its organization, to yesterday
morning, the exposition has paid out
$30, ,55S, S49.01, or three times the
amount that the managers expected to
spend when they commenced building
the fair. The gate receipts during the
exposition period proper were a little
over 0,000,000. TO yesterday $780,
600 had been collected from concession
aires by Mr.. Blackmar's department,
and nearly 100000 were paid before
be took hold The returns from con
cessionaires was one of the big sur
prises of the fair. Nobody was reck-
less enough to predict that that sum
would be realized. The Paris exposi-
tion got but $SO0,O00 from that source,
while the Centennial managers, being
better traders than the Frenchman,
got 81, 100000.
The executive committee Of the board
of directors of the Worlds Fair will
meet at Jackson Park to determine
how much longer, and under what con
ditions, the fair may be continued
open. Their action will depend large
| ly on the state of the weather when
the meeting is called, and the crowd
in attendance upon the ground
