the last of this week. .... Now tha'
Grover Cleveland has written to the
editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, who was
urging him for the presidency, that ne
positively will not be candidate, wnat
excuse will the tomtits that have 'peen
neckine at him have now for keeping
IN their impotent and unnoticed at
tacks? The best opinion we nave
heard in regard to the Confederate raj
ly was contained in the brief answer
of J. l.. Glenn, Esq, when askeo no"
the rally compared with the state re-
union that was held here. The reply
was. Less attempted, more accom-
nlished.". Stephen Sanders, colored
died last Friday, on Capt. I. M. San
ders' place on Broad river aged luz
wears and 6 months, having been born
in Nav. 1900. We believe he had been
in the Sanders family all his life. He
always gave the date Of his birth as
above, and said that he was forty-t"o
when he was sold at the settlement Oh
one of his owners estate. DR.. A. r
Anderson remembers that that sale
was in the year 1912. 1t seems that all
his statements correspond with records
and known facts. He did not claim To
have seen George Washington or per-
formed any service for him, as the
first president died about five months
before he was born but he had hearo
his mother talking much about wash
;nston. He said he had seen BRUSH
officers passing through the country
when he was boy, which we suppose
was about the time Of the war OF 1Slz
