1 HE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
All eyes turn to Ohio. Here will be
fought the first - battle preliminary to
!the great contest in 1880 Universal in
terest attaches to this by reason of the
fact that Ohio is the most doubtful of
States. Neither party has a right to
claim it, and neither does claim it. It
is the shuttle-cock of American politic
and when a State election is held there
shortly in advance of a presidential con
test, the result may with some cause be
taken as decisive of the national contest
which is to follow. Hence the iinpor
tince of the election to be held in Ohio
next fall. The Republicans have nom
inated their ticket. It is headed; by a
man who is the bosom friend df the
President and the Secretary of the
Treasury, both of them citizens of Ohio.
All of their influence will be thrown in
hi3 favor, and his individual strength is
not to be despised. This week the Dem
ocratic convention meets to set up an
opposition ticket. The fate of the State
depends upon the wisdom of their
choice. There is but one Democrat
whose ability to cany the State can be
almost positively asserted ; that man is
Senator Thurman. He of course does
not desire the nomination. Yet, if it is
forced upon him, he cannot refuse it.
Besides, he must see that if Ohio is lost
to the Democrats this fall, his chance
for the presidential nomination will
have departed. If lie runs the race and
wins it, it will adl greatly to his politi
cal prestige; if he runs and loses it, he
will be no worse off than if some other
Democrat had lost it. In either of these
latter events, his prospects for the nom
ination next year are destroyed. I his
ii the political logic of the situation,
and all the present indications point to
Judere Thurman s nomination this weet
It is greatly to be hoped that this will
be the result of the convention. If so
Democratic victory in the Buckeye
State next fall will be safe enough to
b;t on. Judge Thurman is immense
on the stump. John Sherman is the on
ly Ohio ltopublican who can cope with
him in debate. Next to Thurman Ew
ing is the strongest man, then Rice, and
then McMahon. But Thurman s name
is an augury of victory whenever soun
ded in Ohio, and he can impart to the
Democratic cohorts a zeal and enthusi
asm which no other man can inspire.
Should he run and be elected, the Dem
ocratic party will have made a long
step in the direction of victory in the
national contest of 18&).
"Moral Support" from South
Carolina. Old man A. S. Wallace,
erstwhile member of Congress from
the fourth district of South Carolina,
has written to the National Republican
a kind of Praise-God-Bare-Bones let
ter, praying "the blessing of God" and
all that sort of thing upon President
Haye3 for his third veto, and saying
among other things :
He has shivered their ranks, divided
their counsels, and sent dismay to all
their cohorts in this State and, I sup
pose, all over the Union.
The extra session has shown the whole
country the eminent danger of another
civil war, which is certain if they are
not displaced by loyal men, who will
work with jrwill for the best interest
of the country.
The wish is father to the thought.
Doubtless old man Wallace is anxious
to get in some more of Jiis work "for
the best interest of the country," but
the people of his State will save him
all that kind of trouble and eventually
proved to him besides that . the country
is not in all that ''eminent' danger that
he all of a sudden has - gotten so wild
eyed about.
TnE King's Mountain Centennial.
The Wilmington Star writes at length
concerning the proposed celebration of
the centennial anniversary of thetottle
of King's Mountain. It cordially en

which the; Carolina's may Well take
part. It hopes that one of the speakers
on the occasion will be a Western North
Carolinian, and trusts that it will not
be considered impertinent in suggest
ing the name of Senator Vance who, it
says, "would make a fine address," hav

Western North Carolina, and in his ad

LETTER FROM GEO. W. WILLIAMS. ,
' -
Mr. Geo. W. Williams, of Charleston,
the senior member of the firm of Wil?
liams, Birnie & Co, of Tffew York which;
suspended payments ten days ago,
writes aletter to the "Charleston N ews
and Courier explaining the New York
failure and accounting for the sudden
dissolution of the firm. He states that
Mr. Birnie began business with him
when a bo,', Mr. 'Williams regarded
his partner as one of ,jthe,mos.tjwnser-.
vative business men in the land ana
formed a partnership with him in New
York, contributing $100,000; with the
express understanding 4hat the firm
was to do strictly a commission ibiisis
ness and not to engage in speculations
of any kind. As the firm was 'well
known throughout all this section, and
as the matter is one of interest to the
business community generally, we copy
somewhat largely from the letter of
Mr. Williams, as follows:
Recently I made my annual business
visit to New York and. Boston. Stop
ping a week in the former citr, i dis
covered no irregularities in the busi
ness of the firm, but on my return
from Boston to New York I round the
firm requiring larger sums of money
than I regarded necessary for its legiti
mate business, and on questioning -Mr.
Birnie, he confessed that he, had been
speculating in futures on his own ac
count. Upon investigation I discover
ed that he had kept a record of the
transactions in a sevarate set of books
in which I teas not interested and of
the existence of which I had no knowlr
edge..
On the discovery of this cruel wrong,
I immediately dissolved the firm. I
would here state, that on the 1st March
last the firm in which I was interested
did not have a note, bond or acceptance
out in the world, and had in assets in
this country, and in Europe, over two
millions of dollars. I would further
state, at the renewal of our partner
ship, in 1S77, I regarded Mr. Birnie
worth two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, as I had paid him from the va
rious firms in which he was interest
ed 8273.213.50. He also inherited from
his father and uncle's estate about $100-
000.
I feel it due to the old firm of George
W. Williams & Co. to state that they
had no interest or connection with the
firm of Williams, Birnie & Co. It lias
been my pride during a business expe
rience of thirty-seven years to meet
everv pecuniary obligation to the day.
and, God willing, 1 will do so to the end.
George W. Williams Co. and tne
Carolina Savings Bank have promptly
met every demand upon them without
borrowing a dollar from friends or
bankers, who offered them, if needed,
half a million of dollars.
The bishops of the Roman Catholic
Church are careful to have it under
stood that the Church is not responsi
ble for Archbishop Purcell's debts, al
though its House of Bishops hope to
provide for at least one-half of the
claims. They evidently believe it will
be an honor to the Church if its friends
make good what Archbishop Purcell
has carelessly, but not dishonestly, suf
fered to be missed. Tn that opinion
they are plainly right. 1
The unanimity of opinion on the part
of the Washington correspondents gives
good ground for the belief that two
weeks more will witness t ho end of the
extra session of Congress.
