The harvest season being well ad vanced, it is the projxcr time for the ?Jarmer to look around him and see Whether his plans have been carried j out and ,his calculations met in sum ,.ming up the results of the year's la . bor. Every one, doubtless, expected to make more than a cuilleioncy, and that surplus he designed to be addi tional values created, or wealth accu mulated more than he possessed at the beginning of the year. Whetbci these expectations will be realized, .depends upon the judicious use of ?lbe three great elements of material prosperity c industry in laboring, fru gality in living, and security in pro tecting that, already possessed. Aceuuu.dat.ion of property docs.not consist in making, preserving and storing a certain amount of substance for gradual'consumption, but in the gradual increase, year by year, of ag gregate yalues. Jf thj negative ^members of the proposition were true, then the roving tribes of every new ^country might be . said to grow rich .because they provide and store away ,'a sufficiency of food and raiment for direct, though gradual consumption. These, however, cannot be called ac cumulations of wealth because the .whole is every year reduced to noth ing and^thosc who were the owners .at f]rst arc not a particle tho wealth ;ier.'r As a-proof that the affirmative ,member is. true, wc cite a farnjev who prepares his fields, sows his seed, .reapc his grain, and, til the end of Jiarvc?t time, f|ndo that after laying ^by^^iotfgh^to feed and clothe his fam ily and stock, repairing his implo juents, paying for his manures and Abe labor of making, his crops, he has ,?om^thipg/lc,ft which may beVonverl .od into.values and thus increase his .capital. Such a man has accumula ted properly and is wealthier. These .additional yajuos thus created and .tsavotl may be exchanged for other 'l.mds, or a mill, or interest bearing bonds, and thus bo made, in turn to accumulate other values and so on tjjj the owner becomes a wealthy pian. It further implies a saving at .the end of the year of something over .and above the values possessed at the .beginning. There is really nothing .done if aj. the end of the year a bare $ufflcicuqy is made to maintain the family and pay expenses and nothing .more. Under such circumstances .everything is at a .stand-still. No .children can be educated, no ad ditional helps can be employed and no ?einher of the household inu?t get sick without running the family in debt. A bad season or a failure in the erops would be utlel f uin. We fear that in many cases the present expensive syelcra of farm ing results in'jtist such a state of af .fairs as we have described. If so, it! is. high time that a change should he inade,-&id that something is uceum-J u la led over and above plantation eon-! gumption. Whilst there arc many' {aimers who make both -nils meet juud manage to live comparatively goinfoitable, on what is made, there .are others who fail to do so well and yire . obliged, through liens, to draw upon their next year's crop, even be fore it is planted. Such a necessity is un insuperable hindrance to all ac cumulation of values and the result, if continued, will be a burden of debt pint will eventually crush the spirits of the fanner anil force him to sell i even the shelter that covers his chil dren. Before such a trouble is met, Jet such a change be made, and at price, that wilj obviate the necessity of giving a lieu and. place the owner in a position where he may begin to accumulate values for his protection fipd comfort in the future. Judiciary. No branch -;f the government comes ||i more direct contact with the masses iban that which administers justice |h their causes either by rewarding flie law-abiding citizen in protecting Iiis personal rigid*, or punishing the evil-doer in causing liinv to'make amends for the harm he lias done to the person or property of olhcrsJ In fluences arc brought to bear upon the citizen in the Court room which cre ate within him an exalted idea of the majesty of the government under which helivcsjora disgusting con tempt for the law that Assumes a dig nity it fails to maintain. The Logis-j lative ami Executive influence the people indirectly; the cue because it comes in contact with only a few at the capital, and 'the other because it meets, them at stated'**periods and those far removed from each other : Neither, therefore, produces any di rect effect upon the, political charac ter of the people other than that im paired by the enthusiasm excited du? ring election seasons. Twice eacji year Ute entire people, of. the State are brought in immediate contact with the judiciary, aud their ideas oi government are conceived fiom what they lind inside, tho Court room. These conceptions arc elevated or de based in proportion to the character of the j'idge as a preserver of the majesty of the law, the bearing of tho la.vycrs as defenders of the rights of the people, and the wisdom of the1 jury as keepers of the liberty of the citizen. If cither'of these elements fail in its appropriate office, the government can employ no force to maintain a correct slandand of virtue lor its citizens, and certainly none to secure obi dienee outside of physical force. If the judge'becomes unrelia ble, or the lawyer lose .sight of the responsibility of his office and barters its dignity for selfish gain, or the jury convert liberty into license for crime, then the judicial >. no longer an index of a perfect national virtue or of a complete supremacy of law over public action, loses':1s control over public sentiment and dwindles to the Insignificance of a manipulated machine. Indeed the Stability of a government and the measure of its authority may be estimated by the purity of its judiciary department. Make it independent and pure so that its decisions liobl the scales of justice at equal poise and you draw about the Court all the respect and confi dence of a law-abiding people who love their country and honor' its gov ernment. rl he diminution of crime in society, ami the present ability.of the .government to enforce its author ity are due, in a great measure, to the purity and independence of the judiciary as now constituted with such men as A Id rich, Wallace, Iver shaw and their colleagues on . the bench. It was notjso.jn the days of South Carolina's deep humiliation when the Court room was a market hall where judge, jury and lawyers were bought and sold as chattel goods to the highest bidder. Court. Owing to the sickness of .fudge Al_ ilrioh the Court of Generali Sessions, which was appointed to meet cn the morning Of the first. Monday,' conven Lid on last Monday at 10 o'clock A. M., Judge AldrL-h presiding. His charge to the grand jury was in his usual style, clear and to the point. Al luding to the dein}? caused by his re cent illness hp indulged the. hope that the lost time might be recovered by industry and diligence in the dis charge of duty on the part of both jurors and members of the bar. His last official appearance at Orangcburg was to resist the order of Gen. Can by by which the judge-; of the. Stale were called upon to perform an net which neither their oath of oflice nor cense of justice would allow. IIo al luded louehingJy to Judge Dnwkins, who died during reconstruc tion, and complimented Judges Mon roe and Glover. Iiis remarks On the restoration to power of the party of intelligence and honesty were well' timed also hi:; congratulations' to the people oh the decrease in crime since the control of the government fell into the hands of the Democratic party in 187G. Alluding to the line courthouse he suggested some repairs which were evidently necessary to preserve it from furtlicr injury. The criminal docket was taken up and the following cases disposed of: 'IJho State vs. Joshaa Mingo, colored, perjury -guilty. The Stale vs. Jack Inabinct, assault and battery with intent to kill?sealed verdict. At this stage ,Judge T. W. Clover, on behalf of the members of the bar, j submitted lo the eouit an affectingI preamble and resolutions inscribed to the memory of the late W. M. Hulson, 'i distinguished member of the Orangeburg bar and Master of the county, which were ordered, lobe spread upon the minute;; of the court: Aloquonl and feeling addresses were made by .Judge Glover, Maj. T. B. Whaley, fien. Jas. F. I/Jar and Col. M. I. Browning. Judge Aldrieh in ii most touching manner alluded to the distinguishsd dead, and ordered I that in further recognition of iho deceased the court adjourn until 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. The Indians of Colorado. These unfortunate creatures after having massacred the whiles, agent and employees of Iho government, ol life While River Agency, and fought r*nl killed ? Major Tluu nhurg tuul his men and II1113 aroused the wrath pi the United Stales Government, have signified their willingness to lay down their arms and Submit 'o the authori ty of the government officials. Thoy recognize the authority ojfOuray, the head chief of the Southern Utes and a friend.of the United States Govern ment, and will light no more unless forced to do so to defend and protect their lives. Gen. Mcrritt Iiub reach ed the seono of Iho massacre nnd found every building dislroycd and the 1 odieS of the white men scattered here aiid there, mutilated in the'most horrible mtinncr. No traces of wo men or children wore found, and it in supposed that these have been carri ed away and wilTbe held as hostages lo insure accommodating terms of peace from the government. Gen. Sherman, however, has issued instructions' to (Jen. Sheridan that all the Indians who opposed the gov ernment's authority must bo put ont of the way if they resist. If thoy surrender their arms and ponies, they must he held as prisoners to bo dis posed of u9 future cireuinr-lances might require. The murderers of the whites must be punished ay their crimes richly deserves. These in structions seem lo indicate that the policy determined upon by tho gov ernment toward'-1 the Indians is ven geance first, then peace. We can i well afford to be magnanimous to a' weak and, in this case, an uncivilized I foe i dm I there is scarcely any magna nimity in such a course of conduct. Indians may be tamed and civilized and it seems lo us that a better poli cy than extermination would be to send good, active Christian men among lliera with iho bible and pray er rather than the sword and the rifle. The trial is worth making. . The Charleston Election. Now that an Executive Committee have been elected by the Democrats of the city and that Committee have issued their address to the voters of Charleston, it becomes necessary to institute such proceedings as may of fer the greatest probabilities for the success of the Democratic paily.- If a good,1 honest aq'd economical g?v crnmcnt'is desired by the citizens it must bo had through the' Democratic parly. The experience-cf'the past proves that the Radical party cannot give it, nor, in tho very nature of the casv'jcan 'indcpoiidcntisrh do it--?such a.; movement' would result in the de feat of the. party of mi honest govern ment and tho triumph of the party of i plunder. j As wo understand the mailer there will be a Sale's wing of the Demo cratic parly with a ticket in the field and a CourtCnay wing also with a ticket in the field. This will of course divido the Democratic vote, and the Radical ticket will he elected. Such ja result would be a calamity to [Charleston from which she could not soon recover. Therefore, to avoid (such a misfortune, the suggestion of the Georgetown Times und Conict I seems to us a wise ami good one. and deserves the consideration of all the Democrats' of Charleston. If it bo impossible to elect Mr. Courlchaj'l or Mr. Sale, it would be better to drop both Mr. Courlonay and MY. Sale and bring out a now man Upon whom the whole party could concen trate its force and thus insure to the city a Democrat government. For. this purpose the name of tltc Hon. II. D. J.oHCsne has been mentioned, and we thin!: none better could be suggested. The necessity for such a] movement seems imperative and wc trust that steps may be taken soon looking to the adoption Of this policy. If tlio Democratic party is to be successful in Charleston or the Slate it must be a unit?Democrats must vote together. * - wmtt ? ? Grand Tournament.
