fextboct from Governor Hampton’s
speech at Anderson :
We have nothing to do at present
with national politics. If we hoe our
obrn row we will do well. We can af
ford to difcfer on lobal affairs, such as
the fence law, but we cannot afford to
be divided in State matters. Your
County is the first to adopt the system
of primary election - be governed by
ts results, and allow no independents
to run. Indbpehdehts may Sometimes
be good men, pht they are out worst
enemies. Be united In this grand
movement, and send your best men to
the Legislature. I urge you to bo
united. t>o this, and you will And
South Carolina immutably redeetbed;
I urge you to do it as tbb oho thing
most Important. The contest this
year will be for the Legislature. There
will be thb great battle field.
If the State Convention, wheh It
meets, stands square on the platform
of two years ago, and nominates a
conservative ticket, * say that the Re
publicans will not put a ticket in the
field, »nd we will have the grandest
triumph ever achieved on thife conti
nent. By doing justicb to all men.ohr
colored people will stand by us. 1 say
to you It is far better to fail In trying
to do ilfeht than to stibceed in doing
wrong. One of the pledges of that
platform was that all men were equal
before the law. I can say that I have
favored no race, party or people in the
administration of the laws of the
State. I defy any man to point his
finger upon a single pledge of that
plat forth, anifsay that I have not Car
ried it out. I intend to walk on in
the path that the Democratic party
has biased out for ihe. \ cannot devi
ate from it 1 canhot turn aside tbthe
right or the left withoht being false to
theft, t had expected bnd desired
when my term of offree had ended to
turn over to my successor South Car
olina happy and free. I had no Idea
of being called again .Into piiLlio life
and can saj' to you that I want no
place or office. I would not give to
day the place 1 occupy in the hearts
of the people of South Carolina tot the
office o'f President of the United States.
I have passed the charges that hate
been brought against me by an Idle
wind, trusting all to the charity of my
people. I was willing to leave every
thing to the people ot the State, to the
men by whom I Stood for four long
years—to the old men, the fathers of
those brate 80ldlers--to the noble
boys who baTe grown up since, and
above all to ihe e7er faithful worn bn,
whose instincts are bettor than man’s
reason i I can say in the preflence of
this vaflt crowd and in the pretenefe of
God that I haTe done my duty
to 8otith Carolina. Had I done my
duty to God as toell It would have
been bettei for me. I have nothing to
ask but Justice. I know that the
poisonons seed that some have en :
deavorOd to sow will find no lodge
ments In the hearts of the people. I
commit my record Into the hands of
the people of South Carolina, hoping
that God In his In Suite mercy will bless
and prosper them at all times;

APRIL.
This Is the month of tender vegeta
bles in the South. Tomato, pepper,
ergplant, cucumber, squash, melons
claim the gardeners attention now, but
Should not to the neglect of the hardi
er ones now nearly ready for use.
Those that have followed us closely
since September, and have displayed
a proper energy, aro now in the enjoy
ment of onions, cabbages, radishes,
young turnips, carrots, lettuce, beets,
and, in a few weeks more, may supple
ment the libt With peab, salsify, celery,
Irish potatoes. It is extravagant to
use the potatoes durlhg April, but the
temptation to grabble a few will be Ir-
reslstable.
Final cultivation of onlohs consists
In what the market gardeners term
‘'handling.” The soli is drawn away
from the bulb so that It matures en
tirely above the surface. In addition
to this many observe the practice of
rolling the onions with a light barrel
as the closing operation, or, where
there are only a few, merely bending
the onion down with the hand at the
time of handling, taking care not to
bruihe or break them! Rollltig Is not
so Important as handling, but, in wet
seasons, (April and May) It is profita
ble, for it does, we think, make them
bulb better. The hoeing should be
shallow, merely pushing the hoe along
as fast as one can walk, breaking the
crust after every good rain.
The December and January set cab
bage will be Ulid by this month. For
fall and winter use it is well to make a
sowing of seed this month, and on the
north eido of a fence, If practicable, or
under a cloth cover. In the seed bed
sow in rows 10 or 12 inches apart, and
mulch betwerti thickly with pine or
other straw. The Wlnnlngstadt cab
bage may bo soWu os late as August
let, and, WTltTgood manuring and cul
tivation, will make heads for winter.
For the sowing this and next month
usbseed of some improved Drumhead,
Fottlei’s, ot the Btone Mason or Flat
Dutch. Do not push the young plants
at first, but endeavor to keep them
somewhat dormant until June, when
they should be transplanted iu season
able weather, tlrit pieparing the soil
deeply. Set out to a plough furrow,
water, weed if necessary, aud mulch
about the plant If ut all practicable, so
ufl to retain moisture and keej) “down
the grass. TYe oiler these thoughts in
advance In the hope of securing in
creased attention to the fall garden,
for most Southern farmers are apt to
neglect It, as It may seein to interfere
with the more important work of the
farm, or trespass somewhat upon their
midsummer holiday. A good fall gar
den IS a groat desideratum, and ought
to receive more attention. Later we
will offer further suggestions In refer
ence to it, that may prove of some in
terest.
To succeed the earliest sortings and
settings, cabbage, lettuce, celery and
beet plants should bo aet out. Atten
tion to these, together with the tomato,
melons, etc., will render this a busy
month. Beans should be planted, and
in abundance—both snaps and butter.
For the bdsh beans open f urrows two
feet apart and put in the manure—
these run through with the plough to
incorporate and divide the manure—
5 or 6 seed every il Inches in the row.
Have some dry oak ashes or clay dust
tainted with kerosene on hand to’clr-
cumvent the bean bag the moment any
signs ot his appearance are visible.
Put It on the Joung plants when the
dew Is on. A tablefipoonful of oil will
taint sufficiently a one-half bushel of
either substanOe, and will render both
a more thorough repellant,' and a half
bushel rtill go a long Ways. Apply the
game remedy to the egg plants In the
seed bed the moment any signs of the
flea beetle appear, or it will be only a
matter of a day or so before the otter
destruction of tEe plants. The same
remedy for <he green worm on the
cabbage, and for the harlequin bug on
cabbage or turnips. Sprigs of cedar
laid about the hills of squash, melons,
eta, expel enemies to these vegeta
bles, especially the squash and pump
kin bug. A tablespoonful of the rem
edy about any choice plants,'likely to
be depredated upon by cut-wofms,
will repay the trouble, -tn a later num
ber we propose to speak at length (but
only praotlcally) on this eubJect. Ga^.

breaks outdnto a bloody fight. Every
body belongs to one family or the oth
er—of at least every descendant of
the old settlers. While court was In
session at Dahlonega, a noise in the
hall in the lower htor^ of the building
disturbed the Judge. Corses and loud
words were plainly heard. It was evi
dent that a fight was going on. ‘-Mr.
Sheriff,” commanded the Judge, “take
those disorderly parties Into custody
and bring them up here. I will teach
them to have proper respect for this
honorable court.’* The sheriff left the
» U
room but did not return. The tumult
waled louder and the quarrel was evi
dently Increasing Instead of decreas
ing. Occasionally a pistol shot was
heard. Several of the spectators and
one or two of the attorneys loft tho
room. The Judge looked around, ahd
espying a deputy sheriff directed him
to hasten to the assistance of his chief.
He w'dht but did notieturo. Thecoro-
ner was sent; he too remained below.
A constable, two bailiffs and another
deputy sheriff and the clerk of the
court were In turn commanded to pre
serve the peace. Not one of these offi
cials returned. The face of the court
became crimson with Anger, and ae the
solicitor-general prepared to leave the
room he dismissed the Jury, and com
ing down off the bench was heard to
remark that “he'd see if this coui t was
to be treated with contempt.” Pistols
were brandished, bowie-knives flashed
and the air was heavy with smoke and
curses. Pausln? for a moment on the
stairway, the better to survey the field
of battle, the honorable J^idgo sudden
ly threw off his official robe, pulled a
murderous seven-ehooter from bis
belt, and with the cry of “Give ’em
h—1 boys!” Jumped into the crowd and
lost his official identity in the general
crush. The F’s and the TV’s were at
war, and not until the latter party was
at last vanquished did the judge re
turn to bib bench.

of their elective franchise ; and upon
such arrest, did enter Into recogni

It Is now ordered that they he dls-

Mr. Davant took the ground that,
under the common lart, the aforesaid
defendants having been ready for
trial for thrso successive terms of the
court, and not having been brought
to trial, nor even Indicted, were enti
tled to their discharge. United States
District Attorney Northrop resisted
the granting of the order, taking the
ground that he had not bad limb to
prepare the coses.
Judge Brybin, aftef hearing argu
ment, refused to grant the order, sta
ting that time was A great mollifler,
and that If tho government was pleas

We publish, for the benefit of our
farmers, the following extract from
Dr. Ravenel’s report on his farming
experiments near Charleston:
Tweaty-ooe acres are under cultiva
tion here. Five acres on the south of
the work* are in Bermunn grass, and
have been a meadow several years.
Mr. Jas. B. Iteckley, Superintendent of
the works, places a good crop of hay
from It at four and A half tons per
acre. Owing to the drought last sum
mer the yield was only two tons. The
second cutting was destroyed by it.
This meadow Is also well established,
and its fertility maintained in the man
ner already stated, tlere, and on the
meadow at the Atlantic farm, the vetch
is how shooting luxuriantly through
the matted grass, In turn to do Its part
in fertilizing the crop of the coming
summer. About live acres will be ad
ded to this meadow when the black
berry vines and briars, which Infest the
laud are eradicated.
The remaining sixteen acres lie north
of the avenue, leading from the main
or State road to the wotks, and stretch
from theftouth Carolina and the North
eastern Railroad, on the east, to Ash
ley River on the west.
Of these,seven acres next the.rail
roads were put In peas, with ash ele
ment last spring, preparatory to being
planted in oats and wheat lu the fall.
The peas were ploughed in late in Oc
tober, aud on the first of November a
half acre wan sown In wheat, and six
and a half in oats, with two or three
rows of barley on one of the outer
lines of the field.
Two acres alongside these seven, on
the west, were^jdoughed and sown In
oats also about the 1st of November.
Tho contrast In the crops on these two
parcels of land Is striking, while the
only difference in their treatment is
that the two acres were planted without
being preceded with peas and ash ele
ment. Both were sown broadcast, and
tbb oats on the six and a half acres
have tilled, and are apparently matting
the land. Not so, however, with those
on the two acres, for as the eye glan
ces over these t$o crops it is delighted
with the almost unbroken verdure of
tho ono, while It catches glimpses only
of the other here and there above the
ground. How small thb difference in
the expense of cultivation, (the cost of
"the peas antTash element, and of scat
tering them over the land, some seven
to eight dollars per acre,) how widely
different is the promise of the result.
The remaining seven acfcea, stretch
ing from the foregoing nine to the
Ashley,- were put under cultivation last
spring for a meadow, and were treated
as described when meadows are to be
made, with a sowing of peas with ash
element in the spring, and the vetoh In
the falL
The wheat on the quarter acre at the
Atlantic farm, which U the second crop
on it, is decidedly more advanced and
luxuriant than that on the half acre
there and at the Stono, both planted
for the first time last fall. Dr. Rave-
nel thinks that the crops on these two
halt acres are, In growth and promise,
very much as the crop on the quarter
acre was at tho same time last season.
This comparison of these crops would
seem to Indicate that under bis system
of fertilization land Improves notwith
standing a largee crop has been taken
off. Should further experiments es
tablish this as a fact, the value of the
vetches and the ash element, with the
mode of using them, will be greatly
enhanced.
Dr. Ravonel pfopodes to begla ex
periments next summer with rotation
of crops on land now in wheat at the
Atlantic farm, probably slips after
wheat, followed by cotton the succeed
ing spring. It has been suggested to
him, however, to plant wheat again on
the quarter acre at thid farm in order
to test the productiveness of the land
the third year in wheat, and after three
successive crops of the same grain
.grown on It.
Before concluding this account of
the experiments at the Atlantic and
Stono farms, three points in reference
to the cow pea should be noted ;
First. The fertilizing capacity of
pea» being In proportion wltn the
growth and luxuriance of the vine,
they should be planted Immediately
after the. cereal crop is harvested. In
order to secure the greatest grortt^pf
vine possible and the utmost fertiliza
tion to the land.
Second. To the same end, the crop
must not bstised as food for man or
Third, The fertilizing power of the
dying on the
vered In Bfc,
con
from Information derived in conversa
nce with Dr. Ravenel and Messrs.
Rhett and Keckeley; and the state
ment In reference to the crops are
made from personal observation and
notes taken on the ground on the 11th
of January. This paper has been sub
mitted to Messrs. Rhett and Kec’tdoy
for revision, and they have confirmed
the statements In reference to tho ex
periments, And the crops they have
produced.
The farms were visited on the idth
instant by your president, Dr. Rose,
and the chairman of your committee.
The growth and verdure of the crop*
present an aspect of the richest luxu
riance. They are superb. The dis
parity In January between the wheat,
the second crop on the same land, and
tho first terop on the other land L»
maintained.
Planters and farmers visiting our
city should not return to their homes
without seeing these orops. They are
open to examination by all intereeted
lu agriculture.
iYydrojpiiotiia Cure.
P —m—. - • .ASrfc-
I can give some facts which may bo
of use to somebody, thereby saving
life. The time between the bitisg of
an animal by a mad dog and showing
Signs of hydrophobia Is nine days, but
may bo nine months. After the ani
mal has become rabid, a bite or scratch
with the teeth upon a person, or slob
ber coming In contact with a sore or
rAw place, would produce hydrophobia
just as soou as though he be bitten by
a mad dog. Hydrophobia can be pre
vented, and I will give what Is well
KDOrtd to be an infullble remedy, If
properly administered, for man and
beast. A dose for a horse ot cow
should be about four tlmbs as great as
for a person. It Is not too late to give
medicine any time befoie the spasms
come on.
The first dose for a person is one and
a half ounces of elecampane root,
bruised; put In a pint of now milk, re
duced to one half by boiling, then take
all at on« dose In the morning, fasting
until afternoon, or at least a very light
diet after several hours have elapsed.
The second dose the same as the first,
except take two ounces c f the root.
Third dose the same as last, to he
taken every other day. Three doses
are all that are needed, and there need
be no fear. This I know from my own
^perienco, and know of a number of
other cases where It has been entirely
successful. This is no guess work.
Those pcrsoDS I allude to were bitten
by rabid dogs, and were penned up to
see if the£ would go mad. They did
go mad, and did bite the persons. This
remedy has been used In and about
Philadelphia fer forty years and long
er, with great success, and is known as
the Goodman remedy. I am acquaint
ed with a physician who told me he
knew of its use for more than thirty
years, but never knew of a case that
failed where It whs properly admin
istered. Among other cases he men
tioned was one where a number of
cows had been bitten by a mad dog.
To half of this number he administered
tho remedy, to the othfcr half not. The
latter all died of hydrophobia, while
those who took the elecampane ant
milk showed no signs of that disease

April 1—In its deck- A
ton refusing a rehearing in the Ander* -i
son case, the Supreme Court dwetla
upon what it considers tho faultlnead
and actual ilh'gality of the Indictmen#
and Information against tho prisoner.
The decision bears severely on the
State officials for what is called tho
glaring fault In tho Information of noi
charging the offence In confonnHy td *
the law’s direct mandat os, and of omit
ting to charge the crimes to a public
officer Instead of making the charge
against % private individual, who hx
that position, was utterly Incapable
of committing the offenses and doing
the injury charged, when Jt was noto
rious that as a public official he did ef- ^
feet the Injury and commit tho orltnea
complained of. The Court Is bitterly -
denunciatory of the Returning Board’s
frauds; of which it remarks that, ‘•be
ing done in their official capacity, their
fame and infamy filled men’s mouths!
Everywhere, in the market place and
at the fireside, in the press and forum,
ut the council board, and in the legis
lative hall the official act is the thing;
complained of and denounced. Tho
■theory of the prosecution throughout,
outeldo of the information. Is that tbs
act rtas done In an official capacity,
and therefore defrauded. Tho argu
ment of counsel, the charge of tho
udgo, the bills of exception to that ;
charge, and t® his ruling in the couraa
of tho trial, are based on that a**
sumption. It Is that feature which
ias Imparted to this prosecution tha
merest and invested it with the char
acter of a state trial, which gave to
the events that then transpired, and
to the criminal acts which ars a part
of them, national importance; afc4
that feature, conspicuous everywhere
else, is absent from the Information.
“If this Court bad yielded to the
impassioned and justifiable zealot the
prosecuting officer, or have been sway
ed by the feeling, natural and spar-
taneous among all good men, of detes
tation of a great crime against fre*
government and the rights of the peo
ple, and by reason thereof ^ad per^
mitted its judgment to b£ clouded by
passion or warped by love of applause,
or to hS Influenced by any considera
tion other than Its duty with seduloug
care to ascertain the I&ty anti with firm
purpose to apply It, it would be nh-
wortby of the high place it holds In
the Government of the State. It would
argue a deplorable state of public mor
als if it could be confidently assumed
beforehand In a case such as this what
the decision of a court would be front
the known political affiliations or afiJ
tipathk's of Its members. It would b«
a public calamity, tho extent of which
could not be measured; if tt court
should prevent the escape of an accnsv
e l person by torturing the well set*
tied principles of law applied through
long years to criminal prosecutions
with unvarying uniformity, and bend
them to the accomplishment of parti
san desires.
Rather let !t be known of all men
that a couit can consider neither ejpe-*
dlency nor policy; that it cannot
shape its Judgment either to realizw-
I ■
the hopes of friends or to qnlet tk|4 y
fears of foes ; and that Judges m&f'f '*’'
abhor a-malefactor and yet refuse't6
condemn him contrary to the law.
“It is, therefore, ordered that a re
hearing Is refused, and that our Judg
ment In this case remain undisturbed.**
