"Agricultural. Hall" case, involv. ing the title to the Agrimultual ball in Columbia, S. C. Edward B. Wes ,ley of Now York bought the proper ty of the commissioners of the State sinking fund, but thoro wore idleged irregularities in the puichaso-eind ho broughtIsuit against J. E . Tindal, the secietary of stato, and J. R. Boyles, who had been employed by the sec rotary of stato to guard tho property, to securo possession. Tindal and Boyles, in- the l'owr courts, con. tended that they woro mere cust'Q&d-' ians of the proporty at d, tindts tho State should be si).d, but in tlio - -3wo lr-courtl0 possession of the property was given to Wesloy. This judgment was afflirmed by the mu prome court in an opinion by Justico Harlan, who held that tho Stato was not nocessarily a party to the suit. WHAT IT MEANs. [Tho State.] It was rumored about the city yesterday that tho aupromo court had rendered the above decision. TL ) attorney general had heard nothing of it.. Mr. Lyles, who has represented Wesley all tho waly through and won his light in tho several courts, was not in the city. He is off on a trip to WiaOhington and Philadelphia and will not rettir until Friday. Tho decision means hut Mr. Wes loy gets possession of the property and will collect rent from the Stato dispensary for a period that extends from the timo of tho first judg. mont. Assistant Attorney Genoral Town send said yestorday that Ie thought that this vould b for a period of 18 months. Senator Tillbnan When governor, insisted on holding this property, and established the Stato disponsary therein. The dispensary has been located in the building over since. The dispensary authorities havo spent much money putting in pormal. nont improvemonts about tho 1 r-poi ty both inside the building and about the yards. Several thousand dollars haveo doubt boon inv'ostod in this ~ ,tnclunder the lawv t,he authorities will have ino right to remove any improvements. Such im provemnents made b)y ai tenant belong to the owner of the proport y. The disipon sary authorities, in ad1dit,ion t.o erect ing a large water tank on the side of the building have had a cemont floor pult in the cellar, and other cositly changes necessariy for the carrying on of the liquor business haive beeni It,is not known, of course, wvheth or Mr. Wesley will poermat t.hp dis pensary to be continued in his build ing at any figure. Hie will p)robaibly col lect a good sum for b)ack( rent and can charge his own prices for the disponi sary ap)paratuls attach'od to the build. ing which under the decision belong to him. Again, ho may bring suit to recover damages to the building froip the putting i-n of 11h0 elevator, tjhere is a cnsiderablo stir inii dis Ssary circles over the dlecision and ,. t defeat of the State, particulairly as there is no appeal from this last decree of the courts. There is much speculation as to whare the dispensary can secure a building large enough and suitable for its purpose in case it has to v-a cute the Agricultural hell building. Anidersoni, 8.

In vZitew Attoray kieneral Harber p.Overnor Ferbo onl tlie Iffect on till) DeC10011~i. [Nows and Couirior.] Columbia, May .11.-It was stated in this correspondonco this morning that thero was a rumor hero that the Stato had lost tie, Agricultural Hall case, which ig one of the nost im portant suits in,which the State has been engaged. The Wa,hington dispatchos, however, said absolutely nothing about tho decision, and so no more was known about the mat tor until to-night, when the news reached, here that the State had lost the Agricultural Hall ease. Evor since the case was originally decided in Charloston by a jury against the State, the case was regarded by the State Administration as a lamo con test., and tho Stato's counsol somed t 4>o fighting for time, and an odd Cianco. An appoal was taken to the Court of Appeals, and then to the United States Court, and in 'overy instanco the Stato has lost. Tho litigation was over the pos session of the Agricultural Hall which Mr. Alexandor bought at pub lie sale, and for which Mr. V. I. Lylos, as counsol for E. B. Wesley, made ono payint, and then offered "3lto Ridge bonds" for further pay miot. Tho bonds were rofused, and the Sato seized the building but the Courts have hold that Mr. Wesley is entitled to the possession of tho building. WhAT M. BARiE1 SAYS. Attorney Gonoral Barbor wias seon about the case this evening, aid said that the Stato had lost, from what lhe understood of the decis;om, the Agricultural HI I II, but, tho decision did not. involve the legality of the Jlue Ridge bonds, WhiCh it was sought to (sta blish. Not only doci the Stato lose the possossionl of the buildiig, but it will havo.to pay Mr. Wesley a prut ty big rental for the building, which has beet used as the chief dispen sliry. It was stated to-day that rot could only be collected for eightoon mont.hs, Which is the time the judg mont of the Court has boon on record. i addition to this, if the State vacates the buildiig, it will lose con sidorablo in the way of pormanent improvemenits it had put. in ,tho buildings for the running of the grog business. (1OVERNolt ELLEIRE WILL NOT TALK. (4ovornor Ellorbo, when asked about the decision to night, said that, he did not care to have anything to say about thle matter, or wvhat the State would do as to the domicile of the dlisp)ensary'.

Larry Uantt to D)o It-IUo WrItenAnother Conmunileation to The State About the Larry Gantt has sent The Stata another obaptor in the dispensar'y scandal. He is atill insisting on his demand for an investigation of dis. pensary affairs from. "Hell to Hol land," and promises to riddle "from stem to ,storti" the bosses of some "decoy . ducks made of dirtdaubors." Here is his latest communication: To the Editor of The State. Below I publish ad extract from a letter which I have just received from one of the loading and most honorable gentlemen in our State, and who will doubtless permit me to use his namo if occasion demands. It shows that my demand to inves tigato the dispensary is no now found zoal, but that for moro than a year I have been working to uncover re ported venality. The letter says: "I have been reading tho develop ments in the dispensary with ia torost. I have boon satisfiod for somo years what has been going on, and, if you romember I told you, and believod it more than throo yotirs ago. At first you disagrood with me, but later you told mo that you believed I was correct, and men tionod a very largo shortago reported in Commissioner Trax1er's bookip, which you said had been told you. I urged you to open up lest it dis rupt t o Reform movement and bankrupt tho State, to say nothing of tho disgraco which would be at tended with it if not stopped. You fihought it. inadvisablo at tliat timo, but said you would expose it when you thought the timo had come, giv ilng 1110 N011r r1,1SOns, etc., for so doing. "Nov, perhaps I a incompttii to advise, but would say that you cannot admit this matter to stop at a fow cans of poaehos and cigrars. They aro nothing moro than spar roWs, when I bolievo there is turkoy in full rango, if the matter is frooly oponed. "As to the Howell letter, the only thing I can see in it is your misfor tune in supporting Scruggs and the developments on him, but it is not infrequent that we are deceived in men. "Your friends will stand by you, believing and knowing that you are innuoco nt of any intentional wvrong." Mr. Editor, while we havo fired enough paper wads at one another, if for med into shot ind shell, to dui plic ate the siege of Sabastopol, at the same time I have always looked upon you as a fair and manly oppon eut, and for this reason asked the use of the columns of your daily paper to defend myself before the people of our State. But in your Monday's issue yeu struck below the belt, by conveying the insinnation, I think, that I was mixed up in somo dispensary swindle. If you believe that I have misstated facts, say so and I am willing to have tLe fullest glare of light turned upon me. God knows my heart, and I have never handled or sought 'to handle a dirty shil ling. I worked hard to retain my friends in oflice, and perhaps went too far in my zeal to promote their interest. This is the extent of my offending. I do not charge cori-uptio' ruinst any man connected wvith the State dlispensary, but do insi.st that the lights be turnoitd on, andl shall ren der wvhatever aid I can that the pub lie may knowv of the facts. I have written three letters in the interest of two- of my friends, and for wvhom I dlesired to secure p)laces, bolieving them to bo honest, and competont men. One of those letters was ponnued b)ef:oro I had bmoard aniy ro p)orts about the nrsenmt b)oard1, but only touched on the past manage mrent I had heard of thoi Bickart Onutz repor-t anid was investigating the samne; b)ut. as soon as Mr. W~oodl's return from Atlanta I wrote a second lettenr. T do not 'hnlieve that any compromising developments will come out connecting any of the present board with corruption, but even thosa rumors about the mon bers should be investigated. I expected certain little coat-tail swinging journalists to befoul me. They are the tools of ambitious poli ticians and in whose way to promo tion I stand. But I do not intend to waste ammunition on decoy ducks made of dirt daubers. At tio proper time, when their bosses come to the fron,, I shall riddle them from stein to stern. Other reports not connected with the dispensary have reached my ears, and which I am now investigating. My hands are clean, and I shall show to the public before this thing is over that I had no selfish axe to grind in anything that I have over said or written. RespOOtfully, T. L. GANTT.

We did not 1jave the pleasure of attending tihe. exercises at the Pair grounds but it. w1as our good fortune to witneks the decoration of the Monument at about 5 o'clock in Jho evening. A liayer by one of Newberry's emiient divines Wias offered up at the foot of the ilonu mnt at the conclusion of which a sonr was sung and the procession repaired to Rosemont Cemetc.iy and the old graveyard to decorate the graves. The exorcises at the Monument, were very iipressive anti it. is not likely that t,e undersigned will soon forget them. We stood there atid in our heart we thankod our lucky stars that we were born a Southerner, among a peoplo whose independent spirit yet tender devottionl 1.1de,membanc of loved ones is not surpassed by any people under the sun. There is no truer indlea+*ion of a peo ple's sincerity in the prilciples of a cause that was lost thanl the affectionate dcvotion and t,ender regard whicl the Southern poople pay t. those who bravely laid down their lives upon the battle field in defense of Right, and.1 us tice. Our old "Vets" both dead andl(] living deserve ll the honor and praise that a grateful and appreciating lpos terity can bestow upon them. May we nover fall to honor and cherish their memory, nor our hearts grow cold and indifferent, nor our minds forget of those w;hose valor on fiery fields of kleath has never been surpassed, whose tteorld from 1001-1865 against tim n Ited resources and overwhelming numbers has won the admiration of the world .and clothed eyery one of them in ever .Iasting and spotless robes of glory. Such a glorious record will always *brighten the pages of Southern history isnd fill the heart of the Southern youth with that patriotism and love of coun t.ry which will never permit the loath some pinions of Olperssion and dils honor to breed ever a fair and sunny land so bravely defeated in days p)ast by and gone. Listen! who censures us for entertaining such sentiment,s? WVho questions our loyalty to th< Union? Must we forget, the tears anid sufferings of those who sacrificed lif< and prop)erty in defense of a rightcom~ cause in ordoer to pacify a few small be Ings who peraist in calling us rebels, Never! We are not censutred. Oum loyalty is not questioned, for 32 yeart under the folds of th'* statrs and stripet during wvhichi time we have growr stronger than ever, atnd t,his is sufli cient proof that we are a reunited pco. .Ais we do not live at Prosperity wt (10 not know whether' she has miade ii mistake in deciding againtst,the d ispen sary or not so we have suni ke some ot,h ers conicidted to go slow with out congratulations.

[The Constitution.] When I took my seat I fully intend od to writ, i letter on the backward condition of farm work, but before I could begin Brown turned loose in a poetic strain and it changed ny mind entirely. Here is what he says: 'Taini't no use to be a-grieving, For the world Is so deceiving, That it's might,y hard to -judge of what is best, Do the 1)est you can today, Kick Sorrow from the way, And the Lord is mighty sure to do tho rest. I fully agroe with my old friend that ai man cannot always judge as to what is bost, and I am more than anxious to so tho old follow in a choorful mood. He is a comfort to me at such times and I givo way to his whims more than I should por haps, but as those happy moods are only once a year and in the spring, when fish so liko to bite, ho does not .boro mo very badly, and I hopo the( roader will be as kind as 1, and hoar himi pationily; (reen truck is in the gardenl, and young cel nils on the wiay; ggs are jiust.

I am glad always to see people choorful, and, after all, the country people 1re the most cheerful and the most trustful in the workings of providence. In all the )Vorld there is no class to be found that can put aside the cares and anxieties as the farmors do. If there is too much rain they console themselves with the thought that it is God who sends the rains and He controls the seasons and gives or withholds the Increase. It is a most blessed condition to re ceive such things in this way. While they trust much to provi-. denco, they never cease to worp. t. have been watching the young poo ple of lato and they are working as I never saw them work before. The boys are whooping up tie fe1s .ano the girls are setting hens, tending the flowers and the gardens, keep ing the milk and butter fresh and the dinner pots smell most ont to the field to keep the workers in hap ors in Georgia can enjoy the bless mng. py anticipation of a good time at dinner At dinner when the old horn blows To call the workmen from the field; b'Each face with pleasure always glows And happy thoughts upon them steal; Tho horsos know the sound as well, Lor ain't you hoard the old mulos bray?

Thora is no industrious family in the country but what can have some thing at meal tiw.- to make the occa sion pleasant. Thoro is many a rich nman now that would give thausands to havo the same appetite that he had when ho followed a plow. Peo plo that work in the fields need noth ing to stimulate their stomachs and give rolish--work gives relish--and so it is not vAry hard to make a din nor nt. i comit ry hone as pleasant as the grndo.,t hatni(et over hold, and I fool rowd that th poorest farm Of coorso thoio country people do not. alwiys sot a table for a feast., bud the po.>rost girl can11 always find man nieo tliing- when their sweet hoarts com on Siudays, and when the mooting diyi roll around overy ho oh1leho is reatiy with things plenty go->) enongh for all the comi pany, anti I nevor sa v one that did riot liko colmp imy.
