Twkxty Nihilists are 011 trial in

the welfare of the Union.
General Skobe'efi' posed a few davs
ago as an impetuous Russian patriot,
whose heated utterances were outhursts
of honest indignation. Xow it
is said that SkobeleS'was in a ring ol'
financial bears, and his talk intended
only to produce a decline in Russian
securities.
Nine thousand lunatics assembled
in Madison Square Garden, Xew York,

Pauchat, Hughes, Hazael and
one Or two dark horses furnish the
amusement, and the aforesaid lunatics
contribute the funds.
Quartekmastek General Meigs was
put on the retired list the other day^
because he had reached the age of
sixty-five years. General Ilucker,
General Sheridan's father-in-law, was
appointed to succeed hiin, although
seventy years old. Then liucker was
retired in less than a week. The
whole job was engineered by Sheridan
to give the old man more pay. This is
reform.
Coxklixc; s nomination lias been
confirmed- Thus another partisan is
placed for life in the Supreme Court.
. This court in the past few years has
overridden all the old constitutional
decisions of a hundred years. To have
confirmed Conk ling' to an office of a
few years duration, might have bee;:
good Democratic policy, as tending to
create Republican dissension, but to
give him a life tenure in the Court of
last resort, is a dangerous experiment.
Deeply may the Democrats rue it.
As will be seen, a preliminary meet*
in<* of some of our leading citizens was
held in "YVinnsboro on Tuesday to cons:rlpr
f.hft fWflsihilitv of erecting a cotton
tactorv in Witinsboro. We are delighted
to see this spirit of enterprise.
Other tor/ns and counties are going
right ahead, and Fairfield and Winnsboro
cannot afford to be left behind.
We trust that all who have capital
seekiug good investment will take an
interest in the proposed factory and
give substantial aid in securing its
erection. We shall give further facts
at an early day.
2sOW that Dorsey is an indicted Star
Route thief, certain tender-footed Republicans
are much annoyed that he
persists in clinging to his secretaryship
of the Xatioual Republican Committee.
It is thought by many that
the members of this highly respectable
v bodv '*shonld belomrto the undetected
part of the community." Although a
Republican Congress seriously considers
the claims of Convict Robert
Smalls to a seat under the shadow of
the American Eagle, they are inclined
to draw the line at a National Committeeman
who disburses private, and
not public., funds.
AY e fear some of our Senators and
Congressmen are inclined to daily
with protection. South Carolina is
emphatically an agricultural State, and
years will elap?e under the most
+'a\">rable circumstances before manufactures
can become an important
element of our material wealth. It is
True that the doubtful States are now
swayed by protectionists; but were
the masses enlightened their reign
would be of short duration. The
Democratic partv has never done much
since it drifted awav from its cardinal
- principles of revenue tariff and hard
money.
The Columbia Democn;ts have reorganized
for the municipal campaign,
. with Capt. J. Quitman Marshall as
City Chairman. This is a capital sei
" lection. Captain Marshall has led the
Democratic hosts to victory before,
and is the man to do so again. The
]*K>ple of Columbia have a glimpse of
prosperity before them iu the reopening
of the College and the development
of their water power; and they know
what the election of a Radical council
would mean. ,4Xo footsteps back
ward*' will be the campaign cry, anct
it will win so sore as the people are
true to themselves and their traditions.
A slight political straw is furnished
in the election of Caucus, Democrat,
to succeed the late Webster Wagner in
the New York State Senate. Wagner
was a Republics.), and the district had
not elected a Democrat since 1S71.
Bancr.s was nominated on a platform
which bitterly denounced the Tamn>anv-RepubIican
coalition, and many
Republicans voted for him through
disgust with their party, although his
life- -opponent. was a millionaire several
r^uies over. Tlie regular Democrats
will lose nothing in the long run by

i The Supreme Court of the United

I about twelve hundred cases on its
j docket, and new ones are added more
j rapidly than the old arc disposed of. i
Thus the business continually accnmu- !
Iates, and clients are compelled to
wait at least three years for a hearing. I
This delay almost amounts to a public j
scandal, yet Congress appears unable j
to grapple with the problem. Bill!
after bill has been introduced, but!
either the proper remedy has not been
proposed or else our Solons are unable ;
M^to comprehend it. Two plans are pre- ;
! semeu, one to suooiviue uic supreme
j Court, about which grave constitutiou!
al doubts exist, and the other to coiiS
stitute an intermediate appellate court,
; and raise the limit required to entitle
a cause to be carried to the court
| of last resort. As the number of pa-'
! triots in the United States exceeds the
j number of offices, the addition of
! several judgeships would act as a j
i safety-valve, besides expediting public :
business. If Congress would cease'
j wasting its time on airy resolutions '
and private claims and grievances, it
might be able to prepare some suitable
| scheme for the relief of anxious litigants
and overworked justices alike. j

for "the brains of the party" to sell
them out to any set of candidates
again, under whatever name. Whether
these voters are still swayc-d by
their old hacks is u problem not to be
solved until later in the canvass. Still
it is safe to consider all risks, and prepare
for them. The Democrats may
as well understand at once that a determined

will depend upon the Democrats themselves.

will discourage the enemy

THE RADICALS IS COUXCIL.
What AVas Done at Their Meeting in Columbia
They Ki-st Their Hopes on Federal
Ai<l and Democratic Disa flection.
The Xetrs and Courier contains a
full account of the secret meeting of
Radicals in Columbia on Thursday.
The Conference met at 12 o'clock and
(here was a full attendance of delegates
from nearly all the counties in the
State, in the absence of Mackey the
colored State Senator from Beaufort,
T. K. Miller, occupied the chair. The
Conference was held with closed
doors. Every avenue of approach was
sccurely guarded. The doors to the
gallery were nailed up and a cordon
of doorkeepers was established and refused
to let any one pass not having the
necessary credentials or who did not
wear in iiis countenance the brand of
Cain. The complexion of the Confer*
* i- i ^ :
ence was very quick* aim a iu;?j>n-u\
of the (leIeirHie.fi were of pure African
descent, although quite a number of
white men were present and took an
active part in the deliberations of the
bodv.
Among; the more conspicuous characters
v, ere Postmaster Tal't, from
Charleston, ex-Judge Melton, General
Stolbrand, I>. 1'. Ohatfield, Pr J. F.
Ensor, ex-Judge Wright, Postmaster
Wilder, of Columbia, Internal lievenue
Collector lJrayton, II. M. Wallace,
of Charleston, and his father, A. IS.
Wallace, of York, and a host of smaller
lights ot varied complexion and
doubtful respectability. The delegates
from Fairfield were Israel i>yrd, Phil
Lakin and Henry Johnson.
A number of speeches were made,
and a number of resolutions offered?
all breathing a spirit of the bitterest
hostility to the Democratic party. The
resolutions were referred to a committee,
who reported a paper detailing at
length the grievances and wrongs under
which the Republicans of the State
are supposed to suffer, declaring that
the whole purpose .ma intention or me
legislation by the Democrats had been
to preserve the supremacy of that party
without any just consideration for
the rights and privileges of the liepublican
voters of the State, setting
forth the relative numerical strength
of the two parties, that the Republicans
were largely in the majority in
the State, that tiie Registration laws
would virtually disfranchise two-thirds
of the Republican voters, causing
great hardship to the masses generally,
and cailing upon Congress for protection
and relief.
This paper evoked a long and heated
discussion. -Tucige Melton, Shrewsbury
and Chatlield speaking in opposition
Judge Melton was frequently
app.auded. It was iinally agreed to
leave the whole matter in the hands of
the Federal election omcers, ana to
ask the Government to make ml able
provisions to obtain legal registration
nmler the Federal election law of all
the voters in the State. The State
executive, committee was instructed to
draw \\i a meiaorial to Con^resc, asking
for relief.
The Conference adjourned at halfpast
11 o'clock on Thursday night.
The seal of secrecy was removed so as
to allow a statement of the action of
the Conference, which was made to
the reporter by Judge Melton as follows:
"The only action taken was to
pass a resolution instructing the Republican
executive committee to take
such action, f.s might be best advised,
to have Republican supervisors appointed
under the law of the United
States to supervise tin? registration of
the voters prescribed bv the State
lrw."
A BATTLE WITH A HAT.
The Story Serjeant Mason Tells -Guiteaa
Very Indignant.
W vsiiiN'GTOX, February 22.?Considerable
adverse criticism has been
aroused by the statement of Sergeant
Mason, who is confined in the prison
of the Arsenal and is on trial before a
court martial for shooting at the assassin,
Guitean. last September. Ilis
story is t<? the effect that the cell in
which ho has been confined is tenanted
by myriads of rats, which annoy him
and disturb.his rest at night. On one
occasion, while asleep, he was attacked
by a large rat. but which, after a
battle, he subdued and crushed to
death tfith his finders. Mason is considerably
incensed because as he says,
Guiteau, who perpetrat- i a much
worse crime than he attempted, is
allowed clean, well veniilated quarters
and is not annoyed by prison
pests. He thinks that he mijrht be
allowed some privileges, and he has
many sympathizers.
'?ii tl>r> iwifrnvr. hsivimr
hoard of Mason's complaints. became
very indignant and said that it was no
more than he deserved f??r attempting
to shoot the preserver of tlie American
people. lie expressed a wish that
Mason shonhl he severely punished for
his insubordination, and said* that if
the United States did not see justice
done him that ho would take the matter
in his own hands as soon as lie was
released from jail. He seems confident
that through the intervention of the
best lawyers in the country he will he
set free by a decision oft lie Court in
bam, and becomes very violent when
any other than a favorable result from
the bill of exceptions is suggested.
Exsilack.?Sci< n :e?aud practice are
inseparable for successful farming. 2\'o
matter how milch practical skill one
possesses, it can never supply the
want of scientific knowledge in farming.
Without science, the farmer is
like a blind man walking oil strange
ground, trusting to chance for results.
Without practical knowledge, the
scientist is deficient. No matter how
proficient he is, he niu-t understand
thoroughly the practical application of
manures, and !he strength and condition
ot" the soil. But a few years a?o
our most progressive fanner would
have considered the product of one
acre of laud hardly sufficient for the
wintering of one cow. To-day I am
wintering seven cows from a single
acre of land, feeding no more grain
tban I fed under the old system of
farming, with the best of long fodder.
This is practical experience. Scientists
can prove, upon the basis of theoretical
chemistry, that ensilage is of uncertain
value. The practical experience
of intelligent fanners proves to
us that the product of our land can, by
the ensilage system of curing our crops,
be increased in value more than six
hundred per cent.

\{indsor. Eng., "March 2? Evening". j
' ?As the Queen was Entering her car- .

man gave his name as Jtoderic Mac|
Lei ii. The Queen drove off to the-:
j Castle immediately after she was fired :
i at. The miscreant, was followed to the
: station by a large crowd of people,
from whom he was rescued with difli-,
culiv. The Queen arrived at Windsor !
; about 5.-20. Since Tuesday she had
been in London, where she gave a
drawing-room on Wednesday ir honor j
of tnc Princess . Helena of "Waldrick,:
| who is to marry the Princess Leopold, i
A crowd of people assembled at Buck- |
ingham Palace this morning jii Hopes ;
! fhat ihe Queen would drive out. The
demeanor of the people was as cordial
i as usual. The Queen, who was pro ha-;
| bly :n>l aware of what had happened,1
; was innneiliately driven to the Castle, j
, but before she passed, ..the nmn had \
been seized by the superintendent of i
f the borough police who was standing i
i near by. lie was also" violently seized !
by the crowd, and was only rescued
from them when three or four polieei
men came to tlie superintendent's as
j sistar.ee. The pistol was captured by
1 one of the crowd. MacLean. w :o was
miseiwbly clad, was taken into Iligh
' street and thence conveyed to the police
station in a cab.
MacLean is said to be an inhabitant
i of the South idea's. The "gen oral opinion

THL: APL'OISTIUE.ST OF COSKLTSG. !
' St'ronsCondemiiation cf the President's Ac- i
tton, from Leading Republican Xewspajiers.
It is a significant fact that both the
j New York Tribune aud Times, tiie
j two leading Republican papers of the
| country, denounce the nomination of;
! Mr. Koscoe Conkliug as an associate
justice of the Supreme Court.
The Tribune in a leading- editorial
article declares that Guitcau "has made ;
; .. Ii'flll at ( Pei<vi_
<1 tlliv, JUU^V a?"7 T? Uli UO m A ?vw-i
dent," and then assigns?the following;
i reasons why the nomination is "noto-:
riously unfit." First?"Mr. Cockling
; has no standing' at the bar to entitle ;
; him to be even thought of in connec-1
! tion with the Supreme Bench; lie has '
; been retained in no cases save those I
\vt ich came in the way of pay tor po- 1
: litieal influence, and the appearances
' he has made i ft court have been such!
: as to provoke the contempt and
ridicule of real lawyers." Second?
"Mr. Conkling is unfit for the Supreme j
Bench, or for any bench, because he is |
: not a man 'of judicial temper. Every-1
body, friend and foe alike, know liiiu I
I as an intense, red-hot partisan, who !
I never sees or can see more than one j
j side of a question. Such a man may'
; do good service in some places, bnt lie
I is no more fit forjudge than he is for a
banknote engraver or a.Sunday school
: superintendent/' Third?"This nomi-!
i nation i- grossly unfit, because it is a j
' ? *? .i ? _. a
' migrant an use 01 me appointing power [
to use the Supreme Bench to pension a
broken down politician who has made '
himself to (lie lust degree odious to t!ie !
I people. If he must be provided for at
: the public expense, it should be after
I the maimer he himself recommended,
j This is what he said about Collector
ttobertson to Garfield: "Send him
i abroad to some second-class consulj
ship; and 1 will go into,the lobby and
j hold my nose' while he is confirmed."
j The New York Times is equally j
i pointed in its condemtialion of the ap-;
J pointment. It said no act of the Prcsi-1
dent !iad done so mueh-as the appoint-1
j ment of Judge Gray, of Muss., as as-:
! sociate justice to beget confidence in
his nutive.s and purposes as the head |
, of the national administration, but con- i
j fosses that from Judge Gray to Mr. I
; Conkling "is a long slcp downward, j
n,:r5 '? will hr> etrnnfft if this latest I
' nomination does uor go far toward forfeiting
the respect which the President,
j had giined bv his first judicial seiec'
lion." The Times adds: ;OIr. Conkj
ling is certainlv not a great jurist; lu i
; is not even a learned lawyer. What- j
i ever success ho has gained at the bar I
. has been as an advocate. As to the !
judici d teniperamcnt, hardly any man !
j whose character has been so fully ex-;
| hibited befoie the public has given less ;
: evidence of it. The most friendly sum- j
| ming up of his qualities which should
have a decent regard for truth would
j have to admit that, whatever else he I
j may be, he is not by nature, by study j
! or by experience a man tit for the ex- j
ercise of judicial functions in the court J
of highest jurisdiction and ultimate re- j
sort in this nation. Hence, without j
prejudice, it would have to be conced- j
ed that this appointment is* conspicuously
one 'unfit to be made.'"
But notwithstanding all this the ap*
' 1 U..
pointment nas ueen conimueu uy mu j
Senate.
A bolt Lunatics.?Guiteau's case
has brought out some remarkable facts
about lunatics. The world is full of
people who have unbalanced minds,
and if insanity or dementia was an excuse
for crime, ten times' the amount of
offenses against, dorson and life would
l?e tlie result. l)r. William A. Hammond
undoubtedly 'di't the nail on flic '
head" when Ixi said Guiteau was insane.
but that be wits nevertheless
aware of what he was doing1, and of!
the consequences. Even cranks that
i arc violent have a wholesome terror of
; puni.-hmont; but iife wouii every |
where be unsafe, if mere unsoundness
| of mind was an excuse for crime,
j Every rich man who dies nowadays,
leaving a will which overlooks any
member of his family, is iiabie to have
his reputation for sanity questioned in
a Surrogate's court, and it is surprising
how many elver business men have
been proved to be,queer to the very
verge of madness-. by :tfte evidence tak/-lnnilo

morning a young man of the lower !
part of this county-in company with j

THE 'I'USSUl? POLICY.
Proipamme of the I?a<)ior.l Party?Democratic
Danctr.
[F om tlx^ Nt-ws ond Courier]
Tlio lffi/lii-olc lin/1 two T>l;inC '
^ ..V .....I L.W ev-...t.lw ,
to consider. One was to make a
straightout light next November: the
other was to nominate no candidates
for State officers, but support any eandid;ites
who might run in opposition to |
tiie Democratic candidates and make a!
determined light for tiicir own mein-j
hers of the Legislature and the local j
officers in different counties. The lat- 1
ter plan was agreed upon, it is said, j
and it is the most dangerous plan for !
the Democrats that could have been devised.
The Democratic party need
consolidated Republican opposition,
and they need vigorous prosecutions
in the United States Courts for imagi-j
nary political ollences to bring them i
together and make them resolute and 1
active in every part of the State. Deny |
the Democracy the benefit of any sncii
pressure as this, and the -danger of a
return of negro rule will appear remote
and the democracy will feel free to be
lukewarm in the contest. Fs?r, how -;
ever from being safe, the Democracy'
will then be in imminent peril, if abso- i
lute anil uncontrolled Democratic rule :
is indispensable to freedom and securi- 1
ty in South Carolina.
The meeting in Columbia should be i
a warning to every Democrat in every j
part of the State to be up and doing, j
We say uniu'Mtatingly that it will not '
iiiitu-i* tlit> l5iMiiocr:iiic nartv to have a I
.I - - I . ? j
sn alltT majority in the Legislature:
tlmii is now enjoyed. hut the tiivfe J
must roue in Democratic, not because, j
in 1 his instance, there is unv special j
virtue in a name, but because tho i
Democratic party includes the elements j
to whichever)* people look for honest, f
just and well-ordered government. and i
for the further reason that outside of;
the Democratic party, and in deadly!
hostility to it, are the ignorant and |
vicious elements which made South j
Carolina the prey of the political robber
and the home of tlie knavish ad-;
venturer from the reconstruction pe-1
riod down to 1*70. The Democracy, I
however, must have strong candidates,
and be both libera! and positive in j
policy, or there will be divisions and ;
splits this year which will widen to,
the dimensions of a political crevasse
two years hence. There is no help for 1
it but in wisdom, vigor and work.

according to the San Francisco Bulletin.
is over $1.(H)0.<KJO,000, but the
paper admits that the cost of government.
State, county and municipal, is
so high that people are afraid to conic
to the State through fear of being taxed
to death. Safe investments for capital
are hard to lind, and taxation in many
counties is as high as 3 per cent, and
more. In Yuba county the tax is?4.5o
on the one hundred dollars, and the
tendency till over the State is to higher
taxation, with no talk of reform and
no effort to secure economy in public
expenditures. People who go to (-alifornia
must make up their minds to be
bled by the tax gatherer. It inav be a
"Golden State." but its is a hard place
for a poor man to live in.

potted her on several occasions. One
u:iy last week, "Vic's" owner went to
market early in the morninir and was
followed by the do jr. Instead of stopping,
however.Vic" trotted over to
Schneiker & Myers, walked into a
crowd of colored men, ami. picking
out her friend from among tiie number
quietly dropped a brown paper parcel
in his lap. The man opened the parcel
and to his astonishment found several
sandwiches in if. The parcel had been
put up by one of the children of the
dog's owner to hike to school, and was
stolen by "Vic", evidently, as the sequel
showed, for the man to whom she
rave it. "You may not believe it, but
it is true." . .
Axothkk Offer to tiik Jewish
H\hj:s.?Another offer of land for
Russian refugees was received by
Mayor King this morning in a communication

HOW TO TRRATTOUB WATCIL
Wind it up at the same time every
day. Keep it in as even temperature
as possible. Sudden transition f-om
heat to cold ma\ cause the main-spring: ' 1|
to break. If you would keep it clean
never pnt it in any pocket except ono
of leather. Those pockets which arc
lined with cloth, cotton or calico, give
by the constant friction a certain fluff,
which enters most watch cases ami
makes its way to the delicate parts of
the watch. See that your pocket is ;?||
turned and cleaned often, and take an"
old linon handkerchief and wipe carefully
all the dust from under the backs,
bezel and cap < f the case. But- above
all you must be sure that the case fits.
firmly, and to be sure of this, select ;^|li
one where the parts {centre,, back*,
cap, &<:.) are each made 1'rotn one
piece of metal. ? ~
The JAMES BOSS' Patent Stiffexed
ok filled gold watch Ci?e is - ||?&
somade, and not only does such a
Watch Ca*c become stronger a::d fit
more perfectly, but it enables the '
niannfaemrersto t'trn and &t?r-ihree
pieces of metal (tlie outer ones being
gold and the-inner oue of an inferior
metal) into shape for the round jf<n*t.?,
making to all appearances and practical
purposes just as good a Watch Case
as the solid gold. at about one-half the .
cost to the purchaser.
There are nearly or.c hundred thon- ^
sand of these Watch Cases now carried, Jgt
and their good qualities are acknowledged
by the same number of happy 'V'^S
All jewelers keep them, also illustrated
catalogues for gratuitous distribution.
