(1 Eeports from Earope state that the y relations between Germany and Kus- e sia have become so strained that war s seems inevitable. s v Republican practices seem to be 1 takinsr root in Russia. Some colossal c stealing has been lately discovered in 1 0. an(* military departments of * the government. * Last Wednesday is said to have been ( F the biggest day for stock transactions ( | ever seen in the stock exchange in | / 2s"ew York. Over 850,000 shares of! { stock cbnnged hands within the five j ( hours' session of the board. j i - 1 ' ** T Andnn j LiABOCJCIIERE, euuur ui uic | . Truth, has introduced the American j style of paragraphing, and it take? so j * well in preference to the long editorials j fx customary in English papers, that it is | j thought he will revolutionize English j j journalism. Politicians are beginning to discuss 1 the probabilities of a cali for an extra j session of the Senate next spring, j David Davis's time as United States j ' Senator expires next Alarch and that < "0 leaves the country without a Vice-!J President unless an extra session be called to electa president of the Senate. ? In the December number of the Worth American Review Gen. Grant : has an article of ten pages, entitled I "An Undeserved Stigma,'in wnicu uu ; reviews the Fitz John Porter case. | reaching the conclusion, from military . csnsiderations, that the finding- of the j1 court-martial was erroneous, and that' a great wrong was done to General j ? Porter, which ought to be undone as; far as is now possible, and as speedily 1 as possible. The American Register says: "Any i citizen of the United States can vote in j Texas after a residence there of twelve I ctonths. By the way, Texas is the i country for a poor fellow overwhelmed ! with debt. He can put $5,000 into a ! homestead, and then on this home- j stead erect ?500,000 of improvements,; fcnd the whole is exempt from execu- I tion or sale for debt. He need onlv deem it his home and act accordingly. This homestead law operates practically as a repeal of laws for the collection ! 'J ' of debt, and people in Texas trade; 'upon honor.'" ? t?. It bas been officially reported to the English government that widespread distress is feared in Ireland this winter. The districts most seriouslv affected through want of employment on farms and the failure of the potato crop are Sligo. Ballina, Swineford and the greater portion ofOalway. There is much destitution in West Clare and : Oonnaught. Owing to continuously heavy demands upon Irishmen in America to support the Land Leajrue ?here has been a considerable decrease in the remittances to the struggling ?TimO.!,,/?

ITi his latter years he was overshadowed by yoanger men, and ceased to exert any positive influence on his party. Though loyal to the Republican party, be was opposed to the ^bossism" and corruption which have been so conB^eft^*~*--f5pTcuoas for some years, and which gained control of that party. It was this opposition, 110 ciouDt, tnat caused hiin to be without any appreciable influence. At the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition a large number of men and women were weighed, with a view to determine their average weight. The number of men weighed was 7,467: ?the average weight was 154.02 pounds. The number of women weighed was 14,688, average, 130.87. pounds. The average weight of Ohio men was 157.38 pounds; of Ohio women, 133.26; Indiana and Illinois men, 15S.52 pounds; women, 133.55; Kentuckv * men, 153.43 pounds; women, 133.76. Haswcll states that the average weight of 20,000 men and women weighed at Boston in 1864 was: Men, 14l? pounds; women, 1244. From these statistics it Avould appear that corn, as an article of diet, is a superior flesh producer to the bean. When Hancock was defeated, many of the State papers expressed the opinion that the Democratic party was dead, and advised that we in South Carolina look elsewhere for political j company. Other papers suggested an "armed neatralitv." The News and Herald took the position that it was too early to be making plans, and especially opposed the idea that the Democratic party was a corpse. The result of the recent election has sufr> licientlv vindicated the correctness of our position. And the very papers that were ontspoken in their desire for new political alliances now talk hopefully of a Democratic President in 1884. They dou't think the old party quite dead yet. They are right this time, and the cyclone of 1882 should teach them not to be too quick to de. _ . i .1 5 A* J sen an oiu iriena. ?? ; An article appeared recently in the ( Abbeville Medium severely criticising , the University. Upon investigation i ' we are convinced that the Medium , erred in some of its statements of facts. Good board can be obtained there in a mess for ten dollars. There is a suite. T ( of three rooms for every two students, , which ensures much greater comfort j and privacy than can be obtained when ^ four or five oeenuv the same room. I The cost 01 furnishing is a mere baga-! 1 telle. There are one handred and ' c forty-six students iu actual attendance. ^ Everything is moving along smoothly.! There are some students deficient in . preparation in one or two brunches in |1 the University as in all colleges, but by * far the greater part are pursuing 1 studies of a high order. The "student" iv qiMifed as authority by the Medium is kgaid to have recited in the class-roorns ' W- just Jive days, and his departure was j a not voluntary, but was in consequence i Jfg of jaoolty action, owing to conduct on 1 Ii JRS part WLI1UU 11, IS 1IVI UCCUICU p ^ ^ to publish in this newspaper. j d< HksEE^ La HUr Kgfik * General Chalmers seems to have een counted out on a very flimsy presxt. It is admitted, we believe, that majority of the ballots contained his ^ ame, but it is shown that on the ^ nanager^' tally-list the name was put t| lowu "Chambliss". "We do not ex- ^ tress any opinion on the technical tj lew of the matter, as we arc not advisd of the peculiar provi sions of the Mis- ^ issippi election law. But it doe? look r n man whn has received a .....I ? o najority of the votes must lose his >fiice because the managers made a ^ nistake in writing a name. The right ^ o an elective office, it is universally { idinitted, springs from the votes legaly cast for the candidat e, and 'Joes not (lepend upon the declaration of any t ;ribuual. If Chalmers received the * highest number of votes, he is entitled :o be declared elected?unless, of ;ourse, the Mississippi statutes put it n the power of election officers to jount a man out by writing his name improperly. The quibble upon which Jhalmers has been defeated cannot but jo harm to the Democratic party. The Augusta Chronicle very pertinently J isks: "Is the counting out of Chalmers ( the beginning of a series of blunders |( that will end in another Republican i ' \W honn not. I 1 i*? iw* .. ~ t ? i The latest census bulletin gives the j statistics of manufactures in the United , States as returned in 18S0. The aggre- , gates are as follows: Number of ] establishments, 253.840; capital invest- i ed, 82,790/223,506; average number of | hands employed. 2.738,950; paid in j wages during the year, $947,919,674; value of materials used during the year. $3,394.;>40,029; value of products, ] 55.369,667,706. Comparing these results with the corresponding returns for 1870 we find that there' has been ti>rt on of upsrlv sixteen hundred in the number of establishments and nearly seven hundred thousand in the number of hands employed. The capital invested in 1880 exceeds that invested in 1870 by six hundred and seventy-two million dollars, while a hundred and seventytwo million dollars more in wages was paid in the former than in the latter year. The increase in the cost of materials annually used is more than nine hundred million dollars, while the advance in the value of products reaches the enormous fi<rure of one billion one hundred and thirty-seven million dollars. Now, as in 1870, New York heads the column of manufacturing: States. The value of its products in 1S80 was $1,0S0,638,G96, which is more than a fifth of the aggregate value for the entire United States. POLITICAL NOTES. The New York World predicts as a result of the Democratic triumph "a J shrinkage of $40,000,000, or even more, I in the appropriations by Congress." Ex-Governor Long, Republican, | elected to Congress in Massachusetts,! j declares himself opposed to the entire i internal revenue system, as a war i measure which is not justifiable in time ! of peace. Mr. Pattison, Democratic Governori elect of Pennsylvania, has appointed | a Methodist clergyman as his private ! secretary. The Charlotte Observer sa\s: "It is settled at last. Hyde county gives Bennett one hundred.andtweniv-^ight, ~ *3?ed to do their dnf.v " ought to be ashamed." A special to the Vicksbnrg Commercial say? the secretary of State has declared Van H. Manning elected in the Second Congressional District. The Governor has issued the certificate to hiin because the tally sheet of Tate county showed that 1,400 votes were cast for J. R. Cham bliss, although the tickets read J. R. Chalmers. Philadelphia Record: "The rccent elections have again demonstrated the fact that there is no i;eea of United States Marshals to protect the ballot j W?? A K IV uivuivjgi> to tuc I will defend the right of suffrage in j every State much more effectually than ! the agents of the Federal government." Philadelphia Times: "Alfred H. Colquitt, United States Senator-elect to succeed the late Senator Ilill, of } Georgia, is one of the rising men of the South. His administration as Governor of Georgia has been a decided success. He is still in the prime of liife, and as he possesses both brains and a spotless character, there is every reason to believe that he will prove a i worthy successor of the brilliant Hill." Senator Vest, of Missouri, is positive that Mr. Carlisle will be Speaker of the Forty-Eighth Congress; thinks that John G. Thompson should be ser geant-at-arms; advocates Gen. Field i for door-keeper; speaks well of the Hon. W. S. Stenger for clerk; advocates taking the postmaster from the j Pacific coast; believes that ex-Senator | McDonald would make the best Presi dent the country has had for years, but i says Cleveland will <ret there if he can keep the New York Democrats from engaging in cutting each other's throats. The Washington Pest gives a list of the members-elect of ihe Forty-eighth House of Representatives, as corrected by the latest returns. According to this list, the House will consist of 195 i Democrats, elected as such, and 128 :( Republicans, including Mackev, of j South Carolina, Ochiltree, ot Texas, , Chalmers, of Mississippi, Brumm, ofj; Pennsylvania, and the Virginia Read- ;1 justers. Wtller, of Iowa, was clected j as a Greenback Democrat, and Lyman, j of Massachusetts, as an Independent I j Civil-Service Reform Republican, thus ' leaving1 the Administration Rcpubli- 1 ;ans in a minority of 69. The New i'ork Sun figures out the Democratic majority at seventy-seven. 1 The New York Times dreads anoth-; ? ?r Senatorial struggle that involves j j Vlahone, Riddleberger and George C.1 ~ jiorham, as the essential elements to < r Republican success in controlling pa ronage. He says: "In such a trade he Republicans could lose much and j p :ould irain nothing. It would bo far i ( letter to let the Virginia Senators vote : -j mh the Democrats if they chose, and j b t is safe to sav that the latter would i ^ i r^fit no more by the accession than tt lie Republicans would by trying to pre- ^ ent it. So far as the future of the Ro- j ublican party is concerned, it would i e a good riddance."

(| Columbia, November 25.?The Hon. l Llobcrt W. Barnwell died at his resi- o lence this afternoon at the age of J iighty-one. For some years he has L >een in feeble health, but his death y ivas not expected until a day or so ago, v when he began rapidly to sink. The a funeral services will be held in Trinity ^ jhurch to-morrow afternoon, and his (] remains will be taken to his ancestral J burial ground in Beaufort. Thus has t, passed away one of the noblest charac- 0 ters that have adorned the historic s pages of South Carolina. Born in v Beaufort in 1801, and educated at liar- j i*ard, Mr. Barnwell was admitted to 5 the practice of law in 1823. Three 1 years later he was elected to the Leg- c lature, and in 1826 he was sent to t represeut his district in Congress. ;1 After a term of four years he relin- j quished political honors. But more f important duties were assigned him. ^ The atheistic views of Dr. Cooper had j < practically destroyed the South Caro- j < lina College. The attendance of stu-; ; dents had dropped to twenty, and on ! t all sides were heard threats of aban- ] doning the institution. In this emer- , gencv Mr. Barnwell was elected to the i presidency, and in an unconceivably 1 short period, by his wisdom, energy, j executive ability and exalted private < character, he restored confidence to the < breasts of the people and awakened ' zeal and enthusiasm in the tninds of the students. For six years he gov-: erned most successfully, and his re.sig- i nation, on account of ill-health in 1841.' was received with many regrets. In j 1850 Mr. Barnwell was called from j the seclusion of private life to represent the State in the United Slates Senate, and although he refused to; serve more than one year, he stamped i his impress upon that body in thf j midst, of trying and troublous '.ones. /-V- .... 1 /.../...[.miu tin IV1C <villr>il I l^il St'M'l ttl iiv/ u ?o v??v. upon to re-assume the duties of the | presidency of the College, but refused; j although, as a member of the Board of! Trustees, he wielded a marked iuflu-! j ence upon the destinies of the insutu- j tion. After the war Mr. Barnwell | accepted the presidency of the Univcr-1 sity, and in spite of all the depressing I j influences of the times, conducted it | with eminent success until he and hiscolaborcrs were compelled to relinquish their charge. For several years the i Radical Legislature met in the Cam-j pus, the Senate in the library and the House in the chapel, and none but a gentleman of the soundest wisdom, most marked prudence and strongest ponu 1 aritv could have sucv. u^oged a body of young all obstacles ueuieu uimcuicies was a giory indeed. As a former student under Mr. Barnwell, the writer must express his appreciation of the intellectual preeminence and moral grandeur of this noble old son of South Carolina, who, full of yea' s and replete with honors, has passed sway to his Jong rest. The Faculty of ths College have been re- j quested to act as pali-bearers, and the ! students will attend the funeral services in a body. Your readers have seen the published official returns of the election. The opposition suffered a Waterloo defeat, and it is to be hoped have learned some wisdom by rousrh experience. As long as the Democrats stand firmly together nothing can prevail against them. The Legislature meets on Tuesday next. As only twenty-nine members of ihe old House have been returned, it is difficult to forecast the complexion i of the Legislature. Let us hope that] uouung unwise or cmtnencai win oe attempted. The speakership is a prize for which several are already contending. Messrs. James Simons, of Charleston, Win. Henry Parker, of Abbeville, George John>tone, of Newberry, and E. B. Murray, of Anderson, have been announced. Mr.C.J. C. Hutson has been spoken of, and a writer from the Pee Dee country mentions Mr. Knox Livingston, who, though never ; before a member, is said to possess talent a.iC parliamentary knowledge. Some talk is heard of making Mr. j Simo'tton speaker whether he wishes ; it or not. It is too early yet to predict 1 results. Governor Thompson will be inau- ' gn rated on the oth of December. He 1 has made a capital record in the Super- ' intendent's office, and his fiiends be- s lieve ttiar lie wiiJ display equal ability ] in the higher office to which lie has 1 been called. The Springfield llcpub- 1 lican and other Northern papers speak 1 of him as one of the best men in the 1 South. Governor Hagood will retire J to private life after six years of con- * tinuons service to the State, during I which time he has made a reputation * for soundest judgment, great executive ' ability and strict attention to the duties of his office. 1 The bill-boards around town are 1 resplendent with gaudy posters, an- '' nonneing the coining of Keene in the j * characters of Macbeth and Kichard v III., of the Ilumptv Dumptv panto- a mime troupe, and of a set of negro " minstrels.

Editors: The time of asseming the Legislature being at hand, it ill be well for the people to consider hat is to be done in reference to the ien Law. During the canvass it was equentlv discussed, and every candiite had something to sav. but as one them remarked, they were all straddling the fence"?in other words, ey did not fearlessly express: their ews and intentions, fearing to irive 3? *rr\tav 1 >11 f nft*r tl |P11* IU ?uinu ?viu j %/v*4iv.. laces being secured, and being sermts of the public, I think they could and a little instruction, and I think would be as well for every Club to ive seine utterance to their views and ishes in reference to it. Do not be lisled and trust to your Representaves; thev will take advantage of your ilence and will be indifferent if you re too carcless to express your senti:ents, so tha; there can be no misunerstanding. Let us examine this <ien Law and sec if we can't point lit some of the objectionable features. I 'his Act was passed bv a Democratic J legislature in 1866. when the state | ,-as prostrate from the results of the ;ar, her finances totally destroyed, nd her credit almost annihilated. It cing necessary that something be one, and that quickly, this Act was evised for the benefit of the farmer, o enable him to carry on his planting perations and to furnish him with ome security to offer the merchant irho supplied the needful articles. This \ct also provided that only the necesaries were to be furnished, and the ien was oniy to cover the growing rop, and for that year. Now as far as lie Act goes there can be objection, for i simple procedure and a security were irovided for every one, enabling many i poor man to plant his crop who vould otherwise have been unable to rive any security, and consequently ;ould have obtained no supplies. The | suffering would have been great, and here is no question that without the Lien Law starvation would have stared nany a family in the face. But it is not with the Lien Law as it siands on :he Statute book that we are dissatisfied, but it is with the perversion and ipplication of that law. A law deviled and enacted for the good of one class has been perverted and made to i>.n fli'if r.hict wliilst thr> It.v whif.li W...V intended only to furnish a security for another class, expecting- them to make his legitimate profits on their goods, has been perverted to their sole good, enabling them to enrich themselves at the expense of the farmer. A.nrt there is no exaggeration in this, for any one who has been unfortunately forced to buy on a lien knows lrorn personal experience that when he settles with his merchant only a minimum, if any portion of the crop, falls to liis share. | In manv instances he would do better ! - 1 i I? A I to let ilie mercnanc nave iuc crop aim furnish enough for himself and family to eat unci not take the chances of a poor viel.d- Again, this law, which provides that only the <rrowinjf c rop, and for one year, is to he used as the security, has been stretched so as to cover crop after crop. To illustrate?if a poor man is unfortunate and unable to settle his lien in full at the end of the year the balance is added to the next year's lieu and the next crop to cover it. The law intended no such proceeding-. It is illegal, and ought to be put a stop to. Again, the prices charged are beyond reason, and render it almost impossible for any farmer to clear his expenses and have a balance. Every one who knows anything about farming is aware that it is a slow way j Ot ""CUlhg ncn. r^ven uuuer uie oiu f-i" 1 ! lost half of his capital and is expiated to pay from twenty-live to forty per cent, for what supplies he needs, it- seems to me as if there was very little, hope of his ever being more than the slave of his merchant; and this is proven by the fact that tho?c farmers who are succeeding are not obliged to run a lien, but have their own means. Again, it is said frequently that the merchants don't want any Lien Law. It' this were so, why do they advertise that they can accommodate a few more, good men? Or why do they charge j more tor br.con to a cash customer than thcv do on the liun?? as I have been told actually occurred at a village not a hundred miles from home. And if the prices charged were twenty-five or thirty per cent, on the cost of the goods, whilst they would be onerous, still it would be better than the present system of adding twenty-live or forty per cent, to the cash price. Another iniquitous proceeding is, that if a farmer pays a merchant his lien within ten or fifteen dollars he will actually collogue with him to defraud any of his other creditors, and it. is done in this ws\v: The farmer will say, 4,Now, I have paid all of my lien except dollars, and I have so much cotton at home. I want some moner- Yon must let me have it, and I will bring ! the balance of my cotton to you and ! spend the proceeds in your store." This is agreed to, and it makes no difference who Is owed, as long as that ten or fifteen dollars stands. The lien is not settled, and there is no relief] under the present law. Under the Act the security is otilv for necessaries, but that word seems to cover a multiplicity of wants, such as horses, mules, wagons, buggies, and I suppose, with some search, could be found to cover . arious other articles, actually undo?)g the very purpose for which the law rvas made. Do you think all this seting aside the law, stifling conscience, md 1 had almost said, selling their ;ou!s, is done for love to their neighbor? T mioct; lint <m/l if thn I,5.... - - - - - ?.?.? * i ii m\j IJUU uu? )i*ocess that goes on every fall is an ndcx of that love, then give me their . late. It is time for some remedy to ! >e applied, and it is the duly of our < iepresentatives to devi.se and. apply . hat remedy, regardless of the effect j >n the next.election. We once thought ? hat our Representatives were endowed 1 with brains and that those brains were < t the service of their constituents, but > ow, apparently, their brains are nsed t :>r their own benefit and to keep them 1 uoffiee. Let them, then, at the coming a ession, devise some plan to do away r nth the objectionable features of this ^ ict. and if that is bevoud their cpaci- a r, let them repeal it, for it is certain \ -] ?5lt_ (IS tllP li>Af llflW fliQ nuimnon ! - : defeated, and the country can never irive and prosper as it ought to do. his past year has been a productive jiic. and every one has something- to 1 it ami ought to be able to subsist _ imself for one year, and in my humle judgmenti.rt is a good time for tryig the experiment, whether a farmer 111st have his credit arranged for him j v. id a merchant have his securiries inicated.
