Let the Democracy be on the alert. It is not too early to : begin the work of reorganization. Only by earnest work ami a complete ! fusion of all the elements in the party has success been achieved in the past. Factional ft;mis and self-seeking will be polit'cal death. Faiumki.o county is out of debt, and has a balance i:i the treasury. There . is also a balance in the treasury in favor of the school fund. This is a rood showing. The iax this year will i be nine and three-quarter mills. The tax for tlie county in years pest "has i been as follows: In 1871, % mills; in i:)i miils; in lb7:3. 1~>% miils; 111 j 1S74, 14 53-GO mills; in l$7o, l'2k mills; ; in 1S7G, Hi mills. In 1877 the assess : rnent was reduced, and the levy was i also made smaller, being 9 7-10 in that I year, in 1878; 10 29-40 in 1870, and 10 2-10 in 188". The Democratic ad: ministration has not only reduced the i levy but has also made a smaller as' sessment, notwithstanding the in| creased value of all kinds'of property 1 since the repudiation of Radical rule. These fajts should be suggestive to : those who critici>c the party and talk i about indeoendentism. ? ? * a ? The Aiken Recorder believes that : the Democratic nominating convenj tions are two small. The State conj vention numbers about a hundred and fifty members, while Congressional aud judicial conventions are mere handfuls, liable to be easily swayed by | personal influences and considerations, j This view has some force about it: j ; bnt it would be difficult to increase the representation in the State convention without making the body unwieldy. To allow one delegate for every sena- j f At* tr- A r.\l< Atlf nf tl'A ! cvi auu i? v ivi ciu v ivpiv^uuiuii>^ j would make a body of two hundred ; and eighty-three members, enough to j get into all sorts of trouble. As a great many patriots desire to serve their country, an enlarged convention might prove a safety valve for their aspirations. As delegates pay their own expenses the public treasury would not suffer depletion from an increased attendance. ? !> The Leaton method of apportionment which seeks to make Congressional districts as large as possible, instead of ffivinsr extra representation ! to largest fractions, has received a i very black eye in the House. It ap! portions out the extra members to the j most populous States and leaves the ! smallest ones, Rhode Island and ! Florida, with one representative each and a fraction of over a hundred thousand unrepresented. The smaller i States have rebelled at this, and a ! general demand arises for the old ; method. Mr. Converse, of Ohio, has ; introduced a unique bill, providing for | a gradual increase of membership dur' ing the next decade. As there will be ; five Congressional elections in this time, his bill provides that if the remainder in any State equals one-fifth the ratio, it shall have an additional Congressman in 1S5S; if two-fifths, the additional representation will begin in 1886, and so on. This, he says, is i practically the law of Obfo* as regards its Legislature. Congressman* Tillman is reported to have made a great success in his recent, and first, speech in Congress, over the apportionment bill. For over an hour he held the Ilouse, and in sonnd argument, ready response and witty repartie, proved himself master of the subject and the occasion. He argued for a House of six hundred members, and cited numerous histances to show that small bodies are easily overawed or easily corrupted. In his opinion, this country had produced three great statesmen who towered above all others, and these were John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. "What Adams taught New England was how to save her liberties by numerous legislative bodies. The little townships were a protection against each other and protective of all classes. John Adams had also tanght New England that public officers should be distrusted; that they might not be corrupt, but were corruptible. Alexander Hamilton was for the one man power, and his malign influence pervaded the Constitution to this day, j overcoming the benign influence of j John Adams, who was absent in Eng| land at the time of the adoption of the j Constitution. Jefferson had impressed himself upon the smaller States and the States of the South. His influence is felt at the "State capitals to-day, while.Hamilton's spirit walks abroad in the Federal Congress. John Adams1 venerated shades kept watch and ward aver the township system?the last ramparts of freedom?and of this I immortal trio he was the greatest, i This tribute to Adams evoked the I most enthusiastic applause from tl*c j JNevy je,ng!ana members. Mr. Tillman is a man of large brain I and great eneigv, and has made a capi-1 I tal representative, while his debut as a | speaker, the other day, shows that in ; Congress as well as on the stump he . is fully capable of making his points and answering all comers. Eishop WightEian. The Methodist Church and the religious world at large have lost an able champion and noble example in the death of Bishop "VYiglitman, who tranquilly breathed his lust in his | native city of Charleston on "Wednes- j day morning. In that city he was I born seventy-four years ago, and at j the aire of twentv, while still a student in the College of Charleston, he received his license to enter upon the glorious work of saving souls and leading j sinners to repentance. After distin- j guished services of many years in | Randoph-Macon College as professor, i as presiding elder of Cokesburv dis- j trict, and as editor of the Southern ! Christian Advocate, he was called j upon to organize "VVofTord College in i 1854. Such was his success that he 1 again.undertook the task of establishing the Southern University at Greensboro, Alabama, and brought that institution to a most flourishing condition In ho wn? wlrW/vl <i? a ?

As a scholar, as a speaker and as a writer Bishop Wightman was alike ! conspicuous. The literature of the ! church has been greatly embellished ! by his tongue and his pen. Ripe in years uud rich in gracc and j r c ?cbwb?E?? ws^m i m* a? dignity, lie has been gathered to the lathers, but his name will ever be hehl in grateful remembrance, ami tlr. : light of his noble example wiil con- j tinue to cheer and comfbrt future generations in their toilsome journey through life. The Best Congress. The apportionment which passed the I!ou>c lixes the membership in Congress at and the same bill has been favorably reported to the Senate. The passage of the bill was secured by: a nearly solid Republican vote, aided by the delegations from Texas and i South Carolina, as it is particularly favorable to these two States. The 1 apportionment is.asfollows: Alabama, ft; Arkansas, 5; California. C; Colorado, 1; Connecticut, 4:] Delaware. 1: Florida, 2; Georgia, 10; ! i Illinois 20; Indiana, 13; Iowa. 11;! i Kansas, 7; Kentucky. 11; Lonisana, I (5; Maine. 4; Maryland, G: Massachui setts, 12; Michigan, 11; Minnesota. 0; | Mississippi, 7; Missouri, 14; Nebraska, 8: Nevada. 1: New Hampshire, 2: i I New Jersey, 7; New York, 34; North ; i Carolina, D; OI:io, 21: Oregon, 1; ; Pennsylvania, 28: Rhode Island, 2; I South Carolina, 7; Tennessee, 10; Texas, 11; Vermont. 2; Virginia, 10; j West Virginia, 4: Wisconsin, 9. j Maine, New Hampshire and Ver' snout lose one member each, while ! j Massachusetts gains one?a loss of two j | for New England.

California, Iowa. Michigan, Minnesota j ! and Nebraska, two each, and Kansas, j I four?total seventeen. Texas makes j j the largest gain, with Kansas next. j Unless the South remains solidly! Democratic the Republicans will have j an advantage under the new apportion- j ment, for the other gains go to the lie- J j publican States of the West. In the j near future, were it not for the tariff] 1 ; issue, we might expect to see .New j England and the South in alliance j against Western encroachment. The Political Prosecutions. A staff correspondent of the Xeics; and Courier has interviewed District! | Attorney Melton in regard to the ; political prosecutions. Judge Melton ; said: "I have just read the article in the New York Times and know nothing j of it. I have no opinion to express upon the proposition of law suggested by that correspondent and do not i know that I shall have, unless the ] occasion arises devolving it upon mc ] as a duty. The efforts heretofore made ; in this State to enforce the election ! laws have been attended by great ex- j ! pense to the Government and great ! vexaiion ro me people. ? n^-iever may be hereafter done it- will be my duty to avoid these objections as far as possible. "With this view I propose to inquire j and ascertain what cases have been i brought in each of the counties which j are of sufficient dignity and import-j ancc to warrant judicial investigation, j | and to that end my assistants will visit j ! the several counties and in an entirely ; in .partial and judicial manner inquire ! 1 into the real merits of these prosecu- j tions, and determine which of thein if i ' any should receive further attention, j , They will be instructed to do this duty j i impartially and with reference solely j to the due and orderly vindication ot i the law. It is not the purpose of the I Government to vex the people or to do i ! more than is indispensable to enforce ! the laws of the United States in this | State with an eye single to the promo! tion of justice and the public good. I "In ample time I shall notify parties j and attorneys what cases, if any, are | to be called for trial, and so far as the ; Government witnesses are concerned I j shall expect them to remain at home i unless tney receive trorn me special notice lo attend the Court, and I request you now to say that if witnesses attend without such notice they will not be paid." District Attorney Melton speaks as i a dignified officer of the law and not as i a public persecutor, such as some of ! his predecessors have been. That | former prosecutions have been expensive and vexatious, has arisen from | the joint desire of the Federal officials ! to harry the people and to secure J enormous amounts in fees and costs ! United States Commissioners have ! bound over parties to appear at court, | at the same time notifying them that the trial would be a mere farce. The prosecuting witnesses perjured themselves time aiid again, as the Commis sioners fully knew. Yet, for the sake ! of the costs involved, hundreds of ! peaceful, law-abiding citizens iiave been pot under bonds to appear in i Charleston in the busy season of the j year, at expense to the government j and themselves. Judge Melton says he will not sub-; ject anv one to needless vexation, and i j i , j as will be seen, distinctly notifies j ; swift witnesses that they need expect ! 110 fat jobs at his hands. All that the i ' acftu?ed desire is a fair trial on the: merits, such as is guaranteed to every i citizen. As to the Fairfield cases, we ! ; believe that an impartial investigation j i will result in discontinuing them all. j O Ult COUSTY AFFAIRS. Presentment of the Graml .Tnry -A Very Sat j is/actory Showing-. The following is the presentment of1 the grand jury for the February term of the Court of General Sessions fori Fairfield county: To his Honor J. S. Cothran, Presid- j ing .Judge: Tlie grand jury would make the fol-; iu\> nig [ii cMTiiimum That they have examined the public i buildings of the county, and find them nicely and cleanly kept, and in genera! good condition. The county jail is j clean and comfortable, and the prison- j ers are well fed and receive all ueces-! sary attention. The ofliccs of the pub- j lie officers ofthe county arc all in ai condition that evinces taste and neat- j ness on the pari of the respective in-; cumbents. The books of the comity j officers, and of the trial justices seem j to be correctly kept and to conform to ' the requirements ofthe law respeeing ! the same. The County Poor House was visited j by a committee ofthe grand jury, and was found to be in need of some repair, : which we recommend the county commissioners to attend to at once. The j inmates of the poor house appeared to i be in good and comfortable quarters, and no complaint was heard frotn any j of them. A request was made for an- \ other innle to be used in working the ! farm at the poor house, but we are not | inclined to recommend the desired pur-; chase, for the reason that the mule now j iu use is sufficient for all necessary la- j bor on said farm. In regard to the ; repairs needed at the poor house, we j would recommend that the nillars and i steps be repaired, and that the poor house be enclosed by the erection of a neat, and substantial fence. The grand jurv would call attention i to the tact that in certain portions of! the county the public roads are not properly worked, or do not receivc the attention they deserve. xYs a general 1 MBBB in > BMCPBaBMBBMBBBBQg rale the public roads are in as good i condition, at the present titnc, as the sta'eof the weather will permit; but there is a tendency all over the county j Jo have us little work done noon the roads us possible, and the laxity of road overseers i?nd road hands in this respect will prove jrreatly injurious to our public roads. \Ve would earnestly recommend to the public and to all law-abidin<r citizens, the necessity for more stringent measures in the enforcement oft he law respecting the public roads, and ;i>k their he:trty co-ope ration in having them worked at the proper time and in the proper manner. We would recommend that some repairs be made on the yard of the county jail. We have received a petition from the : county commissionersa*kin? that they be allowed to sell the county fence in the lower parly ot the county, and setiin^ forth th? fact that certain parties * have objected to purchasers <roin?r upon ! their lands to remove said fence. We j would recommend that the petition bo , granted, and would also recommend j that any parties interfering with the! carrying out of such sale, or in any j way unlawfully removing anv part of! .-aid fence, be summarily brought to justice. In conclusion, we would congraru-' late the people of the count;, upon tin?: improved condition of its financial ; a Hairs? there now being a balance to j the credit of the county alter the pay-j ment of all just demands against it.!

Lecturing on Public School Education? j Strong Endorsements from President Ar I thur, Carl Schurz, Senator Butler and Oth- j er Prominent Men. [Correspondence of the News and Courier.] Columbia, February 13.?The Rev. j A. D. Mayo, of Boston, Mas?., associate editor of the National Journal of Education ai:d for nut 117 years closely identified with the work of popular j education in the Northern New England States, is now in this city and is preparing? for a campaign among the public schools of South Carolina under the direction of Col. II. S. Thompcr?n tliA Silnto iniioviiitr>i>/"lpnt nt" f?rln cation. Dr. Mayo lectured in Chester | on last Thursday evening- and in | Winusboro on Fvidav to large and | deeply interested audiences and conies j to South Carolina armed with an array j of high credentials that will at once se- j cure for him the hearty co-operation of j all who are interested in the education- j al advancement of the people. In a letter which is signed by exPresident Hayes. Carl Sehurz, Charles Devens, George F. Iioar and thirtyfive other prominent persons they express great pleasure at Mr. Mayo's intention of devoting his eminent talents "to the general work of public school education through the press, through j the personal visitations of schools, lcc- j tures to the people, teachers and school j children and friendly consultation with i local school authorises. Iu his letter of introduction President Arthur says: ' The liev. A. 1). Mayo undertakes a work in behalf of education in the South which has my most hearty coin-; mendation. It would aflbrd me great j pleasure to know that every boy and | girl in the land has the opportunity of good free public school education." Gen. John Eaton, the United St.'ites commissioner of education, says: '-His j love of the work has induced him to j withdraw l'roin church care and devote j himself to the much needed revival of: interest in education. His friends, j recognizing the necessity of such ef- i forts, and impressed with his fitness and success, have furnished him with the means to successfully prosecute his labors.*' T ' - ' j -i? ^ ? mi - C* x in a ietrer to v^oi. 1 nonipson oenaior Butler commends Dr. Mayo in the highest terms, and closes his letter by saying: "Have the kindness to give him the benefit of your intimate knowledge of the educational wants of South Carolina, and show him such attention as his high character and laudable mission deserve." This lerter is strongly endorsed by Senator Hampton, who has also written leiters of a i similar character to Governor Iiagood I and other prominent men of the State. Dr. Curryj the agent of the Peabody Fund, has endorsed Dr. Mayo in a cnaracicnsuc ieiier "?> trie menus 01 universal education in the South." Dr. Mayo proposes to visit all the important cities and towns in the State and will make a tour of the up country schools and colleges as soon as the arrangements can be perfected. He will be accompanied by the superintendent of education, and as Ins lectures are free it is reasonable to expect that he will everywhere be greeted by large ! audiences. He went to Orangeburg this afternoon and for the next two or three days will deliver lectures to the pupils in the Normal department of Claflin University on the general subject of teaching. lie lias a tine series <>f single lectures on this subject which he will deliver at Claflin : "How to govern a school;'"'llow to teach a school;" "Reading for teachers." and "Brain and hand in school and life." Although Dr. Mayo has thirty-live lectures on subjects connected with , education which he has used with tine effeer before school conventions, institutes, normal schools and in lecture courses, j Dr. Mayo will return to Columbia on J Thursday, and at the invitation of: Prrvsiflenf- Mi Ins will deliver .in address ! before the students of the Agricultural ; College.

A EX A TO It rA L C OX TE& TS. Former Exploits of Two Cons M t Fathers. (Wushiii^lO . Lett ?r to August" (jbroult'lej Senator Lamar was knocked flown, the other day. by coming into collision with a carriage horse. The Senator is t,-> . imrr?:iii)lsiiivG moods and be v" 1 w v'*I" ' ' > conies indifleicut to the hurly-bui ly around liiui. but that is no reason why a driver should exhibit sneh': criminal negligence. For a moment after being [/rostrated. Mr. Lamar was stunned. Then speedily reacting' and getting upon his feet, he ottered a considerable reward for tiie identification of the rude hackman. The Senator fays tins is the second time he was ever knocked down. The first event is thus narrated: Years ago. when he had just begun the political career that has become so glorious, Lamar had a dispute with a local celebrity, at Covington, named Z:u-hari?*, familiarly called 4iL"ncle Jinimie". This man was very powerful. WiKMi the war of words came on he was sitting in a chair and Lamar con- j fronted him erect. Knowing well j enough that his only safety was in intimidating his gigantic antagonist, La ? loctol Tirklllt?/1 fir fll?? ! IIU1I VIIUU O |/Wi...vu .W sitting man, aud said: "Uncle Jimmy. J it you attempt rise fro 11 that chair, 11 will kill you!"' Uncle Jimmy concluded to obey, though with ill-suppressed wrath and profuse promises of future settlement. Not long afterward, when Lamar was treating some Democratic j fellow citizens, at a corner grocery, to benzine or wine, he heard an exultant voice cry out behind him: "Lucius, I have got \ou now!" Suiting the action ; to the word. Uncle Jirnniv let drive his muscular arm and fist, which, coming in contact with Lamar's head, caused j the body to stagger and fall. Lamar rose and Uncle Jimmy precipitated his j huge bulk against him, liken catapult. Then the Democratic, party present thought the time had comeito interfere, and Uncle Jimmy was seizeoiiy sinewy j grips and told to release his hold. Not satisfied with his method of doing so, he had a second peremptory admonition. At this juncture he "plaintively squealed: "I ain't holding'him. he's holding me.'' Sun; enough, on examination it was found that Lamar had Uncle Jimmy's tinker in his mouth and would not let it go. During the melee Lauiar had seized fi skillet and made quite a mess of his burly foernan's face and head. But this was the first time lie h d ever been knocked down, and the lost time until Thursday afternoon. 60, it seems that in the annals of Georgia, L. Q. C. Lauiar antedated Mr. Stephens in "toting his skillet," with the difference,' however, that Stephens toted his own and Lauiar another man's. Gen "Wade Hampton says he never had but one fist fight, and that was with a Columbia bully, who attempted iji t ? to auu Illiii cu Liju liiiuiuur vi ijij? V/*ni" quests. "I was a good boxer.'* said the South Carolina Senator, ' uid every tinn: the fellow rushed i .e I floored him. The last lir.k I g. . him broke his thumb. A policeman came up and arrested me. When I was pinioned, the man rose up, drew a knife, and was about to rush upon me. I asked the officer to let me go and give me Iris club, iledidso. Armed with that weapon, I faced the desperado, and warned him that though I did not wish to kill him, I would surely do so if he advanced a step farther. lie took counsel of iris fears, and prudently retired. I had not a scratch, but the other man was laid up for three weeks. SOUTH CAKOL1XA a\ LIVS. ?About two hundred agaicultural liens have been recorded in Lancaster this year. ?J. J.

C. 1 i Is a purely vegetable bitter and powerful tonic, and is warranted a speedy and certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all malarial disorders. In miasmatic districts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back anil loins, and coldness of the spine and extremities, are only premonitions of severer symptoms which terminate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever and profuse*perspiration. It is a startling fact, that quinine, arsenic, and other poisonous minerals form the basis of most of the " Fever and Ague Preparations," " Specifics," " Syrups," and "Tonics," in the market. The preparations made from these mineral poisons, although they are palatable, and may break the chill, do not cure, but leave the malarial and their own drug poison in the system, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and Other disorders more formidable than the disease they were intended to cure. Ayer's Awe Ccre thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate patient; and its crowning excellence, above its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the system as free from disease as before the attack. For Liver Complaints, Ater's Acre Cure, by direct action on the liver and uxuaij uin w v?w -?which produce these complaints, and stimulates the system to a vigorous, healthy condition.
