A special dispatch from Charleston, S. G., to-day, to the evening Star says that the heated aud very much excited canvass of the two Democratic fac tious in South Carolina, "will probablv be brought to a close at Orangeburg to-morrow. There are two other ap pointments, but as the county con ventions have been held in both, they will be called in by the executive com mittee. In the language oE Tillman, this 'Democratic circus" has been on the road for several weeks. At every meeting great crowds have attended, and the excitement has run very high. There have been no riots or blood shed, although this looked inevitable many times. The great majority of tho people attending the meeting had been so highly wrought up that they carried pistols in their side pockets, always ready for the worst at any moment All in all no such excite ment has ever been known in this state before at a campaign. The friends of Captain Ben JL Till man are even at this point of the bat tle alarmed at the many anonymous communications being received daily, threatening his assassination. A ru mor has just gained currency here to the effect that two roughs havo been for several days following the campaign speakers from place to place, hoping to get a fair chance to kill Tillman. It is known here to-day that a prop osition has liecn made by the "Straight cuts'"" to 'withdraw their bitter warfare against the Tillmamtcs, if they will pledge themselves not to do certain things when they got hold of the reins of government, among which is the chopping off of the official head of United States Senator Wade Hamp ton. It was not at first intended to defeat his re-election, but since the senator has corns into collision with the reform movement, it is thought likely that his head will come off. It is now plainly seen that a full reform delegation will be elected to congress. is tiii: sf'ftA'ri:. Work on the Civil Approiropria lion Sill. ' Special to Tin: Avroui A. Washington, July 28.

New Yoiik, July 28. The Tribune publishes in full Blaine's five-column letter of June 30th to the British min ister, in refutation ot Salisbury's claim that the United States had once disputed Russia's sovereignty in Bea ring sea, and says it must bo apparent that Great Britain is forcing us into a position in which we must assert the principle of self-preservation. She had admitted our fairness and the justice ot our moderate claims, but with his own record staring him ill tho face, Salisbury, coerced by his col ony, now asserts claims that are irre concilable with his previous admis sion, and impossible for us to allow. He has brought negotiations to such a state that we are justified in calling upon the British nation to consider carefnlly what it wants. Does it want to go to war with us lo support its colony in what Salisbury has himself called, ''The wanton destruction of a valuable industry?" If it entertains no such purpose, it should give heed to what its govern ment is doing. It should know that its prime minister has delivered to our execnlive a very distinct intimation of war; that he has said he "would hold the government of the United States responsible for its acts in protecting its valuable industry from wanton de struction." The American people do not want any war; they only ask what the En glish government has admitted to be their's by right ot -purchase, or what Salisbury has admitted to be fair and just. It is time that the English peo ple had awakened to the fact that their government is leading them into trouble and toward dangerous waters. TO OBL.It:i? FRIENDS. The Postmaster Declines to ilo It.

At that time he was employed in a railroad office and took a house of six rooms on the railroad, the rent of which was $15 a month. The railroad faro was $4 a month. On his clothing account he was especially savinsr. Ho wore a heavy overcoat for three winters and a light overcoat for three seasons.

His clothing account for the year was $72.25. His wife practiced econ omy also, and Drougnt iier expenses down to feoU, but then she could sew very nicely and made her own ctotiies.

No, sir; don't get married on $15 a week is the advico of ono who has been there, unless you aro willing to sim ply exist instead of living. What it Said in "Washington. Washington, July 27. It is that tho river and harbor bill is said held up to keep the senators, and members of tho house as well, from going home or forcing an adjournment. The fact that nearly every senator and repre sentative is interested in the river and harbor bill would naturally keep them here until the bill was disposed of, so the friends of the election scheme arc extremely anxious to keep back such legislation as will enable them to hold the members at the cap ital. As the cool weather comes on there may not be such desire to get away. Members who have a cam paign before them are very uneasy, and about two-thirds of the senators are anxious to get back and seo how tho legislature elections are going. Yet the pressure for the tariff bill and the party whip on the election bill may keep tho republicans in line until both measures are disposed of.
