The Au<rnsta Chronicle is moved by j the Columbia election to assert tljat | , 'Democracy has three rows of Iront; teeth in Carolina." Sexatok Jok Brown is compelled to if; leave his scat because of a serious cough. Tims is Georgia temporarily j deprived of t?oth her senators who, taken together, are the strongest teuin in Washington. , ? There are six mil lion miles of fencc ing in the United Suites, the cost of L which has been more than two thousand millions of dollars. During the i census year, there were expended $~S, r' <529.000 on fences alone. The people should speak out plainly I ------ - - rr?i in behalf of a re-apporuonme?i. 1 ne j Bp?.- . calling of an extra session is a grave responsibility, and Goven.o? Hagood i should feel that in taking this step lie would have the hearty endorsement of the State. The Mississippi still rages in Louisi-1 ana, threatening the lower part of that State. Besides the floods the river has had two steamboat disasters that j destroyed many lives and burned up j ^ Stowe's menagerie. Between fire and water our friends arc having a hard I UlliU. A movement is on foot to get Mr. Tilden to run for Governor of NewYork. If he consents and wins he will ; again be a prominent candidate for the ! i Presidency, with a probability ot'j nomination and election. The Demo- i crats have treated Uncle Sammy rather i shabbily, and we would just as soon see j him vindicated as have anybody else j beaten. It is reported that General Ilurlbut, j *he Peruvian Minister, died a few days j T f fhielut tvno it k !) Stl'illll/ft I I ? coincidence. The jarring between j Ilurlbut, Minister to Peru, and Ivil- i Patrick, Minister to Chile, first led to; the ventilation of the Peruvian Com- j panv scandal. Kil par rick died shortly j after, and if Hurlbut has followed, the : government has lost the services of j two men who can well be spared. V . The Greenville Xetcs says there are ! 5,300 white Democrats and 200 white ; Kepnblicans in Greenville. The Republican court desires two jurors from the county, and draws two Republicans. It desires to know by what rule of arithmetic is this feat accomplished? | B\ no rule, friend. Consult some j iI authority on three-card monte. Democratic victories are reported in the town elections all through the Xorth and West. Cincinnati elects the Democratic ticket by 5,000 majority, and even Cleveland gives a handsome majority. The Republicans ran temperance tickets, and the Germans, who hold th^ balance of power, flocked to the other side. Altogether the situ- j ution is getting rather too much mixed j to please the Stalwarts. Cornelius J. Vanderbilt, who killed ! *f himself in Newx'ork^iSundav, was; the brother that instituted legal pro-; ceediugs to make William H. disgorge j some of the sixty million dollars left j him by the old Commodore. Cornelius j epileptic and rather wild, and his father left him only the interest of $400,000. After a great deal of family * ir?fVu1i>Air i ItO Clllt jarring; vvi uvuuo n iui%u v?? n*v j * ' and his brother srave him a million j <- j dollars. A recurrence of his epiletic | fits doubtless caused the suicide. ? President Arthur has vetoed the j Chinese bill for a long- string of rea-1 sons, the chief being that twenty years' j suspension of immigration is a pracfi- j ca! violation of the treaty. An attempt i to pass the bill over his veto in the j Senate resulted in a vote of 29 to 21.' 7jot two-thirds voting in the affirma-1 c i ?!? t>i ?i.? v:n ,*1 ??i live. lliuei ?:"r "ui i?> ucuu, ami muij;- i nation prevails on the Pacific coast. | But tew of the Republicans voted with the Democrats. A tidal wave of Democracy is predicted on that coast the coming fall. We shall see. The two wings of the Louisiana Democracy are to have a joint nominating convention, in order to heal, if possible, the dissensions in the party. The repudiators have made nothing by their rule or ruin policy. By their bolt thev elected a Republican sov,, ; . , I : ornor, who comoinea wun me nign : credit party and defeated the funding scheme. As a net result the bolters were left out in the cold all round. Much better to fight their battles within party lines. Ix the United States Court on Saturday Judge Bond overruled the objection that proceeding by "information" was illegal. In his opinion, the '< offences charged are not "infamous" ?-and need not be laid before the grand j1 j jury. District Attorney Melton en- 1 deavored to his information so j 1 as to charge the defendants ^ ith con- ' spiracy, but .Tudge ftond held that ! conspiracy is an entirely separate ' offence from that already charged, and it cannot be brought without further ' testimony and a continuance of the ( case. || Hc<;h Kane and his three confed- i urates have been acquitted. A few i years ago, while in search of Tied- j mond, they shot down a poor ignorai.t j boy, Amos Ladd, in his own house.; not even knowing who he was. Their! I plea was self-defense. These are the j; men whom the Federal government i protects. And yet it frets and fumes i and raves over alleged irregularities ;;t the ballot hox, committed in the pros- : ence of this same Hugh Kane, who. t while in the contractive custody of the <. marshal on the charge of murder, yet t acts as Federal supervisor of elections., 1 Is it surprising that South Carolina | refuses to hug the Republican party to ! \ her bosom. ? Alt. of Wednesday and part of Thurs- i day were consumed in arguing l>efo;e i i the United States Court the right of 11 bringing" parties to trial on informa- f 1 tionl By information is meant that i the District Attorney prepares indict-! :i ments of his ovvi>-qjolion without sub- ; \ in it tins' them to UitN^rand jury?a ! - most dangerous power to ue^cn trusted j $ into the hands of auv one man. -Major i |p Barker cited a recent decision by Jud<re t %: > Cox. in the Star route cases iu Wash- I Kp:; ington, quashing indictments that had i - .. nut been presented by the grand jury, j e The two cases are exactly similar, j except in one very essential point. In ! Washington the Star route thieve? are : Republicans. in Sou.h Carolina the j defendants are Democrats. But sauce : f r the goose should he sauce for the j rander. The Court reserved their de- j cision. Thk Suite Executive Committee has | issued a stirring appeal to the people.! Our risriits as a sovereign State arc menaced by Federal authority. The j entire people are arraigned as flagrant i criminals, because the ccnvicii Smalls J is deprived of an opportunity to dis- ; grace Congress, and because thieves j and vagabonds are no longer suffered to revel and carouse in public office, j Honesty, economy and decency are alike wavering in the balance, and; only by the most, determined attitude | on our part can the scenes of 1808 be ; i.. ti.,. !./. UU. All tllU pi VJ-TV, Vll Liv/ll Wl UIV J few election officers in Charleston the : whole people are on trial. Kconomv j alone prevents the National Govern- j rnent from prosecuting every inana-! ger and every officer and every Demo- j crat in the State. All is fish that comes j to its net. It is some else's time | to-day. Ours .nay c;?nc to-morrow, and will come if we make no resist-; autre. Money is needed to aid in defraying the expenses of the gentlemen I now on trial. A circular has been j issued to each County Chairman. We of Fairfield who have thus far escaped,; should do as we would be d >ne b\\ ! and extend aid to others. Our quota ; for this purpose is but a bagatelle com-1 pared lo the burden we might liave j beet: called upon to sustain. Let it be ! freely given when the cull is made. Official returns of the election in Columbia give Colonel lihett a majority of 58-t votes over Mr. Agnew. The attorneys of the latter, it is said, will j make no contest, as there are no j grounds upon which it could be based, j Thus has the capital of the State vindi-. cated herself from all suspicion of j infidelity to the Democracy, and the i example she has set will be worth i thousands of votes throughout the j State, confirming the faithful, strength- ! eningthe weak-kneed.and discouraging j the malcontents. Mr. Agnew was evidently misled. lie made the mistake of running as an Independent, j There are but two parties in this State, i | and neither Democrats nor Radicals j care to support any but party men. I Again, it was a bad time for Indepen- j dents, when Brewster was cracking his whip over the heads of the people | ?not in behalf of "indeoendents," but for the special benefit of Smalls j and Sam Lecr and in order to re-afri- 1 canize the State. Independent ism is the very thin veil behind which malignant Radicalism lurks. It might consent to use the Independents as a club ; to break Democratic heads, but only for this; and little show* would an j Independent get in a Republican revival, j The lesson taught by Columbia is this: i Stick to the Democratic party. To do ; so is not only good principle, but also j good policy. The House has passed a bill making j retirement in the annv compulsory on ; reaching the age of sixty-two years, j Under existing regulations officers of i Am* fli'im* lif-flo chonMi nf i-oo/>liin<r i a higher grade than captain. One old officer ou the active list is seventynine years old, and quite a number are above sixty. General Sherman himself would be retired under the pro- | vision of the contemplated act, but lie j expresses acquiescence in ;t, believing I the measure to be advantageous to the : service. We have published an ex- < tract from a pamphlet by the late Emory Upton, showing that almost all' the world renowned warriors won j their spurs in early life. And now , comes a writer in the International Review who asserts that out of five hundred illustrious men of all times ( and callings, the average age of achiev- < ing reputation was thirtv-four years and seven months. This is somewhat i embarrassing to the large army of < mortals, who after reaching the limit i have failed to secure a niche in fame's j I nvond tprnnln. hilt it upvprthflpss fur- ! t ni$hes a strong argument that our ( army should be relieved of the pressure 1 of old men at the top. As they are t honorably retired on pensions they > have 110 reason to complain. t Normal Institutes. _____ c The Abbeville Medium criticises the t corrse of the Superintendent of Edu- i cation in securing talent from abroad i to preside over the State Normal In- I stitntes. Why not take one of our j i college presidents, it ask?, or even \ t some of our own teachers? We hearti- j * ly concur with tlie Medium, as to the!-4 ability of our leading college profes- 1 sors and their mastery of subjects in j t their respective departments. We j have also heard it stated by persons 1 from abroad that our teachers as a class ! 1 will compare favorably with the aver-! I sure teachers elsewhere. Still there are i reasons f?>r making selections from | abroad. In the first place the Institutive is intended not to teach facts but rc>ethods? not to sliow the lecturer's knowledge of ?reo<rraphv or historv \?r arithmetic, but to instruct the teachers * how best to present these facts to the < pupil. A college professor may un- < ilerstand exactly how to conduct a t class in astronomy or moral philosophy 1 and yet fail utterly in enunciating the s best methods of indoctrinating urchins in the mystery of the alphabet or the c multiplication table. A professor can ' it best merely theorize on the most t mtirnvp^ inftlin/1.; nf* ittsl C rrammar school instruction. It is em- j t kUTassing1 for a teacher of the higher | c grades of a grammar school to decide { s whether "notation should be taught : ' x'fore numeration/' or whether tiie 1 ' word method" should super? :de the j I1 t-b-c i>hin of teaching to read. A prac-! ical teacher can best deal with practi- | r-iii iiivuhki* in liiu mijuui ruuiij, ju>i v is the professor is at home in his col- j A fire classes. * j IComing1 to practical teachers, one of, s raricd and extensive experience p honld be selected. Owing to t he ! ' viiiit of conventions and institutes leretofure our teachers have been < OV'liitV *1, ?K" H i? \ 1 V ? V 'Vv I. \J uv; ll.o * lis own system which he lias perhaps :(' iever lmd an opportunity of com par- j ' ng: or measuring with other plans. .> tiul thereby deciding what isirood and i vhat should be remedied. For the ! <). amo reason he may have an excellent ystem, but he has itever been called I |l moil to f7?vniiil:?tr? liii r?i* irivp hem expression in the form of lectures, j n the same vvav hundreds of teachers : IT) i) other btates would labor under the 1 a I uibarrassmeut, so that going abroad I for a principal f<r the mere purpose of; going abroad would be absurd. It so hap|>ens th&t in both institutes lield here, the services of a very admirable ; teacher have born secured. Mr. .Sol-i dan, of Sr. Louis, ranks ainon?- the; first educators of the land. He is not j merely a teacher, but for eleven years ho has bp??n .1 ten<;ht?r of teachers. As ! principal of a normal school, with a grammar school connccted with it, he ; does practical work, and then in \ lecturing to the normal school In: formulated those methods which he has gathered from his own experience ! and from the works of others. That is j why he is peculiarly lifted to assume ! charge of an institute. An<l we feci sure that no South Carolina teacher, j after attending an institute, would be willinir to offer himself as a substitute I for Mr. Soldau. Having "gone > abroad" for a principal, the Supcrin- i tendent lias supplemented his services ! with those of teachers from the Mate, i We believe there would be a tee?ing ot'j genuine disappointment among all the j teachers of ^outh Carolina if it were announced that Mr. Soldan would not return this summer. He will "draw | better1 than anybody else that can be chosen, besides which it's a good thing to infuse fresh and vigorous idea-: from abroad into our own ways ol : thinking and teaching. Strikes and More Str-kss. Protectionists say that a high ensures liberal wages and plenty. Our tariff is up on the steeple, and the surplus revenue is a hundred and fifty million, and yet wages arc not satis-1 factory and plenty seems not to exist I An exchange says: "Away up in | Maine the ship carpenters are restless | and discontented. In Cincinnati the j plasterers are demanding higher ! wages. Another division of the labor j army is iti rebellion in Syracuse. The i Hochester clothing-cutters have thrown | down tlie gauntlet to their employers. In Lawrence, Mass., the spindles ot'i the Pacific Mills stand still, deserted : by their five thousand working men j and women, while Pennsylvania sends j mutterings of dissatisfaction fruw* fur-j nace and factory and coal mii.e. To | come to Xew York, the printers of otic i newspaper have left their cases; the employes of the elevated railroads have been threatening to abandon ?heir engines and cars, and, in addition, numerous other trade organizations are j uniting in a struggle against what j they regard as the injustice and i the tyranny of capital." This isjby no j means the millennium so graphically j portrayed by Hon. Mr. Ivellv and his friends. The speech of the average Protectionist never omits the comparative table of wages in America and the Old World. Yet these strikes concluf Still./*!** f Itnf f Iwt A ttlAIM/Mill vxiuvi inai cii^ nuauuui ? mechanic is a cormorant, or else that despite his alleged liberal wages, he is in sore straits through the high cost of living induced bv prohibitory tariff on the necessaries ot' life. The latter alternative must be universally accept-1 ed. What boots it that a laborer here j receives twice as much as his foreign j competitor, when he has to pay double ' or threefold prices for food and clothing? The truth is that the benefits of monopoly accrue to the capitalists instead of being diffused among the masses in increased remuneration for work But, granting this scarcity, experience shows that strikes scarcely ever pay anybody. Operatives are idle tor weeks and months at a time, constim- \ iiur their savings, machinery is stopped, interest on investments ceases, and owners often become embarrassed. But as machinery does not eat, while I humanity docs, it happens in by far | the greater number of cases that the ! I operatives are compelled to resume j work nt original rates, especially when f business is dull.

The whites turned out almost to a man, but the colored people exhibited but little enthusiasm, and many of those who went to the polls openh supportted Col. Hliett, to their honor, be it said. They did not look upon the contest a? either a party or a race issue,; and placed their ballots where they j would do them and their children most good. In the ballot box in Ward 1 there 1 were ninety ballots, in Ward 4, thirty ballots, in Ward i', four ballots, and in Ward ' >, four ballots in excess of the number polled at each of these pre- j chiefs. The ballots were returned to j the boxes, thoi\iti<rhly mixed together I and the number of nallots in excess of. the names on the noil lists were de- j si roved by the managers in ;:ccordance t with law, when the remaining votes' were counted.

IJut even admitting, which no one will j do. that, the ballots destroyed were all polled for Agnew, still Col. Ifhctfs i, majority would be 45(5. The victory is thorough and complete.

[From the News and Courier, April 4th.] The United States Circuit Court was convened for the April term al lo o'clock yesterday morning. Judges L>ond and ijryan presiding. Long before this hour the lobby of the courtroom was crowded with a mixed throng of people who.had assembled to witness the trial of the election cases which it was supposed would be first j taken up.

M. Sims. Capt. F. W. Daw-; son, Attorney General L.. F. Youinaus, ; Col. James L. Orr and others. The Clerk of the Court, after calling !>ver the names ot grand and petit jurors, announced that there were present lit'teen gram! jurymen and thirty ! petit jurymen. A. W. Moore, one of : Llie grand jurymen, was excused, being : i iiiinistor of the Gospel and exemi/t under the State law. J. Ilendrix Me-! Lean another olio of the grand jurors, i isked to be excused for the reason that1 lie was an editor. Major Barker asked what kind of a I newspaper the juror edited. Judge IJond: That makes no differ-i . nee, the statute very wisely excludes i hi editors iroin serving as jurymen, j Mr. McLune was accordingly excused. Mr. Barker, as counsel for all the j lefendants in the election cases sum noned to i his court, announced that lie nterposed a challenge to the array of! he panels of the grand and petit jurors, flie Court ordered that the challenges ! .>e tiled with the grounds, and inform-; d counsel that as the" Court would i iave no use lor the grand jury during j lie day he would not hear argument >11 that point at that time. Tnc ground of the challenge is that i lie defendants live in the eastern di>rict, in which the trial is to be held,! vhile some of the jurors are from the; vesteru district of the Stale. A motion i vas also made to quash the in forma- I ions on which these trials are brought,: >n the ground that the o tie i ices arc! 'infamous" in the legal acceptation ofhe term, and therefore the accused lave the right 60 demand a true bill ron. the grand jury, further, that no j lotice of the filing of these i 11 forma- j ions was given to the defendants, and , or other causes, among thein being j '{lint the accused did not come with! lean hands."' Argument was not had >11 these motions. Court then proceeded with the trial if Hugh Kane, George Scruggs, G.

EXT EST ASD DEPTH OF HOOTS. {Prof. Aiwater In American Agriculturalist.) I have often been interested in noting tiie ideas most people have as to i how far and how deep the roots ex- j tend. The majority guess roots of j, rrass and clover penetrate between ! live and ten inches, and are surprised j ' to find that 11 ley reach several feet- 1 j have some roots of timothy, clover and other plants dug from a very heavy I clay soil, a good quality ot brick clay. | so compact and hard that a sharp i knife in cutting it leaves a surface as ! smooth and shiny as it would (rut on! the end of a pine hoard. I have traced ! the roots of the timothy to a depth of i two feet and four incites and the clover } three feet and two inches. A number ! of years ago a verv intelligent German ; farmer named Schubert, made some j very interesting observations upon tin; | roots of plants as they grow in the j new. aii excavation 01 nve or six j feet deep or more was du?f in the soil. | so as to leave a vertical wall. Against | this wall a jet of water was played by [ menus of a garden sprinkler; the ea *; h ; was washed away and the root of the j plants growing1 therein laid bare. The 1 roots thus exposed in a field of rye. in j one of beans and in a bed of garden : peas presented ihu appearance of a mat < or felt of white fibres, extending to a h depth of about four feet. 1 foots of! wheat sown on September 26th and! uncovered on the 271li of April had < ( penetrated three and a half feet, and i ' six weeks later about four feet below i the surface. In one ciise, in a li.^lit I subsoil, roots were found as deep as I seven feet. Tlie roots of the wheat in . April contained forty per cent, of the \ whole plant. Hon. John Stanton \ Gould, I believe it is, says that Hie | has seen the roots of Indian corn ex-1 tending seven feet downward,'' audi itoi. joijii .on srates mat fine xuuis | of maize, which in a rich and tenacious | earth extend but two or three feet, j ' have been found to a length of ten or ' even fifteen feet in a light sandy soil.''" Roots of cHover, when growinsr in a r -li, mellow soil, run laierally and vertically. Prof. Stoekbridge "washed out a roo; of common clover, one year old, growing in the alluvial soii near rlie Connecticut river, and found that it descended perpendicularly to the depth of eight teet." Lncern roots are said to reach a depth of twenty and I ] even thirty feet. Alderman Mechi. in I England, tells of a neighbor who "dug j a parsnip which measured thirteen j feet six inches in leiurth. hut wa< uu- < fortunately broken at that depth/' 1 TIIK POLITICAL I'ltOSECUTIOXS. * Ciiaklkstox, April S.?In the United i States Circuit Court to-day. Judge j Bond pre.-iding. the Court overruled * the motion to quash the informations tiled by the District Attorney in the election cases, holding that the offences wiih which the parties arc charged are j not infamous, consequently not to be proceeded against by indietmeni only, j The District Attorney then moved to ' be allowed to amend the information r i.% tlwi T?SmIi!?iIw1 K\.* <I/1H illlf Hw> charge of conspiracy under Section , 40 of the United States lievisrd Statutes. The Court overruled this motion, holding that the Dis.rict Atiorney i> not entitled to add counts charging the accused w ti conspiiacy, with other.not named in the original affidavit nor in the information already filed, to do acts for which they are now to be tried. The information for the warrant of the j Commissioner the Court held, nor any ! part of the record gives the accused ii(?iire of any such olfense. It is entirely a new crime, not an aineudineiit in any sense of the word. It must bo considered new information and cannot he filed except upon affidavit and new proceedings. The Court added that this would work a continuance of tin-1 Kichlatid cases, or at least postpone j them until late in the term. The District Attorney staton mat no i would announce on Monday whether | or not lie would proceed with the trial i of the Richland cases on the original intbruiation or ask leave to tile a new one. Counsel for the accnsed said they would make 110 objection to the array ttf grand and petit jurors in this ca?e, :us tliev had nronosed. but would re sei ve the ri?sht to arjrue the question in uther cases when they are called. The Court then adjourned until Monday morniiurat 10 a. in.
