THE NEWS AND HERALD. . : wnnfSBOBO, s. c. * . _ _ .

The conveution will meet early in May at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, Earnest efforts arc now being made in Georgia to modify the Ifaiiroaa Commission Act of that State. It is forcibly contended by many that its strict iron-clad provisions are doing damage to the railroad industries of the State, and driving capital away. A bill is now pending in the National House of Representatives to erect a United States Court House in Greenville. Prominent citizens of Greenville and several of our influential Congressmen are laboring diligentI., /s/vauva rvoecooro nioQQnrp l\ IV dl'tuiy 1W v will probably pass. Counsel for the ku-klux prisoners of Georgia arc before the United States Supreme Conrt on the constitutional ground that.the court had no jurisdiction of the cases, and consequently their conviction was without warrant of law and that null and void. r* ^ < The Senate Judiciary Committee has reported favorably the bill for the relief, of Fitz John Porter. Senator Logan, a member of the committee, wiil make a minority report. A num ber of converts to the Porter cause have been made since the last session of Congress, and the chances are that the measure now pending will finally pass both honses of Congress. The New York Herald says that "Senator-elect EL B. Payne, of Ohio, is at once a protectionist and freetrader." He is for a ^'tariff for revenui only," bnt favors "protecting American industry and labor," and don't think there shonld be any agitation of the tariff. With such a straddlet lie-fence standard-bearer, the party would court defeat, and would, be a successful suitor bevond doubt. Ix homicidal progress the Northern . States seem to be. leaving the Southwest far behind. Iu Alleghany county, Penn., alone there were one hundred murder cases during the past six years. And yet some o? the Peunsyl vania i,e:vspapers are the most bitter in their denunciations of lawlessness in the South. . At a meeting in Baltimore on Tuesday last to make arrangements for the centennial of American Methodism, Bishop Simpson declared that, the Catholic Church, through its attention to higher female education, is exercis. nig quite an influence 011 the army, as young army officers coming in find Bltfect with the*pupils of the academy ^?B^BJ5B^HP?eorgetown, D. C., fall in love with ^^^uid marry them. Gen. Charles Gordon, generally known as "Chinese Gordon," was only thirty years old when placed in command of a division of the Chinese army. He always went unarmed in battle, even when foremost in the breach, directing his troops by waviug a little c.uie. As he was uniformerly victo^ . rious in his engagements, his Chinese soldiers considered the cane to be a magic wand which insured his protection and their trinmnh. The general is a lofty and admirable type, honest as he is brave. . The Washington correspondent of the Angnta Chrouicle says: Mr. Aiken, ofSonth Carolina, is so angry with Mr. Holman and the Committee 011 Appropriations that he cannot sleep. He was accorded a chairmanship, but the rigid economists have deprived him of a clerk, at Government expense. Had Mr. Aiken employed au Indiana ; i maw, instead of a South Carolinian, the Watch Dog of the Treasury might have seen tilings in a different light.

It having been reported that General Grant, the commissioner on the part of the United States, and Mr. Romero, the commissioner on the part of Mexico, to draw np the Mexican treaty, were personally interested in its ratification, General Grant has written to the "Washington Star which gave currency to the report that he is in no way connected with Mr. Romero, and that he has no personal interest whatever ? .. in the ratification of the treaty, bnt thinks it would be a good thing tor the United States. Speaker Carlisle seems to be looming up as tbe coming Senator from Kentucky. The present deadlock has continued unabated for ten days or more, and during all that time Carlisle was only in the background, receiving 110 votes and leaving the field alone to Senator Williams and Congressman Blackburn. Two days since he received one vote, and at the last reckoning eight ballots were cast for him in the Democratic cancus. A week hence will probably see Carlisle United States Senator from Kentucky. The "Wentworth Falls, in New South "Wales, are reported to surpass Niagara in beauty and grandeur. At first the water leaps a distance of 700 feet, as Mftngh falling over the back to the seat of a great arm-chair cut out of the face ; of the mountain. Falling in sprays, It gathers itself for anotherj:nn and leap, and the second time falling over 800 feet into the great gorge below. The fall ^ is so far and the foliage so dense at the foot that the eye fails to see the second gathering place of the clouds of spray glittering in the sunlight 1,500 feet below. The valley below the fells spreads out into a great amphitheatre fifty miles across, and hemmed in on every side bat on? with perpendienlar mountain walls* Ex-groviifrnor Butler's farewell t: gift of a Bible to Governor Robinson !} and his successors for all time has reminded a writer in the Washington j Post of the time when Mr. Bell, on ; becoming Governor of Texas> began , his inaugural address with, "Fellow- 1 citizens?Ire the chaste and beautiful . langnage of Job, 'Now is the winter ot , our discontent made glorious summer \ by this sun of York.'" The result of this remakable pronunciamento was \ that the Governor was presently overwhelmed with gifts of Bibles from ( every State and from foreign lands; < Bibles in English, Latin, French, i TTJtM^AA ?1 lwcfurtfa/1 i]}n_ JL*U5>5iUSl mm U?UUW, 111U- I ruinated, polyglot, hieroglyphic; bound in paper, leather, velvet; sent by mail, by express, by freight, by special messenger. Spker, the renegade, has been confirmed at last by the United States Senate, and he is now the dnlv commissioned District Attorney for the , Northern District of Georgia. Tiie , confirmation was strongly opposed by ( both of the South Carolina Senators, , and a number of other Senators from the Sonlhern States. The vote upon ] the nomination was non-political, both of the Georgia Senators and a number of other Democrats voting for the confirmation. Perhaps there is nothing very bad about District Attorney : Speer, bet we cannot help thinking President Arthur might have exercised i the appointing power in this instance < with more wisdom and a better discre- J i tion. We can at least hope that his new office, with its many cares and arduous dnties, will keep him 011 the west.side of the Savannah, far, far J away, from the scenes of his recent in- j glorioas defeat. . "i Hoy. John X. Irwin, of Iowa, since ' last March Governor of the Territory of Idaho, looms up in striking originality. At the end of the first quarter be returned his salary to the treasury. The treasurer, not knowing what to 1 do with it, turned it over to the credit of the conscience fund. He wrote to the comotroller obiectinsr to this dis position of the money, saying that he did not serve his conntrv for lucre bnt for the honor of the thing, and suggested that a fund be established that others who were disposed to serve for honor might turn over their salaries too. He proposes to turn over the balance of bis salary in the same way. It is not likely that the number of his . imitators will be large. Nobody has yet suggested that he is a crank, but it is hinted that Barnum or some other showman may find in him a profitable subject for investment. Says the "Washington correspondent of the jSfews and Courier of the 24th instant: "Much curiosity.is felt as to the causes for the non-appearance of the tariff bill. There is a good deal of talk on the subject on the floor of the House, but it is of a rambling nature, and betrays 110 definite plans or purposes. ;The fact- may as .well be acknowledged that the Democratic party is at present all at sea as regards the tariff. I do not believe a dozen members of the House have a very clear i idea as to what will be presented, and h/vrr- ix-Vioii rvroconterl ft will orftt UVH j iTiiVit JJ* vwv*?vvv*j *V( If ^ throngh. Eyervbody seems to think we are to have a tariff bill, with the exception of a few men . like Jndge Kelley. The Judge does not want a tariff bill, and stands shoulder to shoulder with Randall in opposition to any farther agitation of the subject. It is evident that whatever emanates from the majority of the ways and means committee will have to be fought ; through step by step and inch by inch t from its inception to its passage. There i is much hope expressed in the Seuate : and House that a new alignment may ; be made upon this issue of tariff re- ? form ts. protection. Said a. Demo- : craiic leader the other day, 'In my opinion the time is coming (and it is not far distant) when Democrats of that sort (Mr. Randall's) will be forced to show tiieir colors aun ejuier act , with their party or leave it. For my part I would rather have." them leave it- They iutend to ruin the party or rule it. They would rather see the Democratic party beaten than see tariff reform triumph.'" THE 3IEXICAX VETEKAA'S. Ex-judge Mnckev has written a lotfnr fn an interested and inquiring correspondent upon the subject of the Mexican war pension. Speaking of the pending bill to pension all the veterans of that war, he says i 'The bill provides that the pension shall dale from March 4, 1878, thus placing the veterans of the war with Mexico on the same footing with those of the war of 1812, whose pension began at the end of thirty years*after the close of the war. There is now no j doubt of the passage of the bill at the I present session. The only pretext for | any opposition to it heretofore has been that there are too many veterans still living. We are now able to furnish the Massachusetts apostle of charity (Hoar) the gratifying intelligence that, owing to the starvation process, which he has advocated, there will be less than six thousand beneficiaries under the bill, including widows, and | of these sist.wtwo per cent, belong to the Northern States." It is now stated upon reliable authority that Jefferson Davis has written quite a touching letter to a friend in "Washington, in which the request is made that he may be excluded from all benefits under the pending bill. Mr. Davis says that he is prompted to the action "as an act of simple justice to his needy comrades-in-arms, hoping that it may obviate an objection to its passage," which has been so freqnently urged. The ex-Jndge says of the action of Mr, Davis: "This sentiment is worthy of that 'chiefest of knightly gentle- : j o:.. LL1 wLij K71JL X JLUll^ UiUliC; j ? iiw, grievously wounded on the field of i Zutphen, was offered a glass of wine, 1 but he pushed it away it from his ; parched lips and pointing to a private < soldier wJjo tey bleeding on the ground i .a near him, said: 'Give it to him, his needs are greater than mine.'" ?^ 1 J - -tl- ? ? iJy way or conclusion to una remarkable and interesting letter, Judge Mackey says: "In conclusion, I would state that we have a veteran's committee of nine members here (of whom I am one) to nrge the speedy passage of our bill. "We were all 'loyal' during the late war?eight of us loyal to the United Slates and one (myself) loyal to the Confederate States." Many wise, thoughtful and conscientious men in Congress and out of Congress, are opposed upon principle to the passage of the measure under consideration, aud perhaps the prece ' - -'i- * 1-;? :n dent Wlin its IUI- reauimig icsuns >vm work 110 general good, but since it is esteemed the thing to thus .pay the debt of gratitude to the soldiery of the country, we can see no reason why the veterans of the Mexican war, without exception, should not receive the same evidence of the nation's favor as the later unfortunates who in fought the war for the Union. Under the circumstances it would be but an act of simnlc justice, and we trust the bill will pass both houses of Congress ana receive the executive sanction. THE XJ2 W ORZEAFS EXPOSITION. suggestions from the State Department of Agriculture, as to the Exhibits from this State. Mr. George II. McMaster has received from Col. A. P. Butler, Commissioner of Agriculture, the following communication: Columbia, S. C., January, 14,1884. Dear Sir: As you arc doubtless aware, the Legislature at its recent session appropriated $10,000 for the purpose of having the State represented at the New Orleans Exposition, this amount to be expended under the direction of the Department of Agriculture. We desire to begin at once me organization 01 associations in every county to co-operate with our Department in this matter. The exhibit of our products will be uiuch better and more creditable to the State if we can get the assistance of active, energetic men 111 every county, who will aid us in the collection of specimens, and in interesting the people in this matter. The exhibit made by the Department will be a collective one?that is, we will show all the specimens collected, as a State exhibit, except of couise tnat tney win De iaoenea so as 10 snow the connty they were taken from. In addition to this, we think it would be greatly to the advantage* of the people of each county, if they would make, at their own expense, exhibits of prodncts exclusively from their county, to be shown at the same place as'the State exhibit but as county exhibits. Each county should have its organization for this purpose, and when the collection is worked up, it should be sent to New Orleans under the charge of some one to represent the connty, who would co-operate with the State authorities. Not only should the conn ty show minerals, woods, agricultural and manufactured products, etc., but pamphlets, maps and other documeuts descriptive of the county, including descriptions, prices, terms, etc., of every tract of land now for sale in the county, and every water poxcer that cati be utilized, should be issued and sent on for distribution. With proper effort the interest of every intelligent citizen in the county can be enlisted on this subject, and when that is done, we will feci confident that our State will do herself credit at this great Exposi tion, and that we will accomplish a great work, that will resnlt in attracting Capital and Immigration to Sonth Carolina. Can you help us in this matter? If so, I will be pleased to hear from you, and to have you make any suggestions that will aid us in this work. An early answer will be greatly appreciated. Yours truly, A. P. Butler, Commissioner. TO THE TEACHERS OF FAIRFIELD.

C. A VOICE TROM HOXTICELLO. The Crops, Weather, Schools, Casualties and Other Items of General Ne^rs. Messrs. Editors: At this season there is very little going on among the farmers, and particularly at this time every one is so busy getting warm that 1_ 'm-H_ I tney liave mue uine ior woik. jl.uk about your balmy sunny South, why even the suushine in this weather is cold enough to freeze the 'cheek' of a book agent. This is the kind of weather which gives the farmer a chance; he can sit before the fire and spend his time in bewailing the failure of his last crop, and imagining all kinds of unheard-of calamities for the ensuing year. It. ' is^ffreat p^y that people leading the isolated IMsjEliich most of our farmers lead find so little pleasure in reading-. I do not mean in literary pursuits, for of course they have little time for that kind of thing, bnt all of them could find time for the perusal of a newspaper or something of that kind, yet few ever do more than glance at the cotton market or! the local column. It is generally ad- j m-'f-fpr) that; nowsmDei's are the great! educators of the masses, yet few of the farmers.of this country read anything of the kind; they get their ideas at second hand from some neighbor who has been to town and then form their opinions accordingly. It would not be a bad idea for some of our country schoolmasters to try an experiment, which has been successful at the North, i. e., the reading of newspapers in the school-room. It may be objected that Items are published in newspapers which would be objectionable. The same might be said of certain incidents mentioned in the Bible, but fewwould object on that account to the Bible instrnctions. Teachers could easily obviate this difficulty. It is necessary for a mau to be informed on the topics of the day; this information can only be obtained from newspapers. Newspapers contain the history of the present, and children growing up now should be made familiar with it. Every man, woman and child in the county should read his or her county paper*and as many others as they can find time to read." I am informed that there is a good deal of dissatisfaction with the present am! ?"f* * !?*/> PaUaaI T llKlllUgCUJCllt U1 wis swuuui uioiiivii- j. have not looked closely into the subject, but I think that .the complaints are not without foundation. In the Broad River section there are a number who live at such a distance from Monticello as to be entirely deprived of the school privilege. It is hard that a little child should be made to walk three miles to a school study and recite lessons all day, and then walk three miles home at evening; yet this is what these little ones would have to do in order to attend school. These people have just had a two mills tax levied on them to support the Monticello Graded School, and it is Ttrnll nicrh imnnssihle for their children twa* "" "'x to attend the school. There are other causes of complaint, but I am unable to say more ou the snbjcct at present. Grain looks "all frizzled'np", but it is not seriously damaged as yet. Tom Cuffee, a tenant on the Alston place, and a'straightforward, honest old negro, had his cotton-house robbed last week by unknown parties. A negro child was accidentally burned to death on the same place last week. Negroes find it hard to keep body and soul together as no liens have been given in this section. a. t. Monticello, January 21, 1884. "ISHMAEL." The News and Courier has arranged,by cable, for the publication iu the Weekly Neics, of a new novel by Miss M. E. Braddon, the author of Dead-Sea Fruit, Lady Audley^s Secret, Aurora Floyd, and a large number of other popular novels. - - ? ? i t j lstimael, tne jatest wort 01 miss joraudon, promises to be as absorbing in interest- as any of its predecessors, and will add largely, therefore, to the attractions of the Weekly News. Miss Braddou, beyond peradventore, is the strongest of the novelists of the sensational school, and is now doing her best literary work. The publication of Ishmael in the Weekly Neics will take place at the same time as its publication weekly in England. The opening chapters, printed here from advance sheets, will appear on January 30tb, and the story will run for twenty-six weeks. Long liofnvo tl>o r?f Tihrn/ipJ. shfill have been completed, the publication (jf the sketphes entitled "Our Women \n the War" will have begun. These sketches are expected to be continued during the whole of the present year. Business transactions, though the parties be thousands of miles from each other, are quickly completed in these days. Iu the morning, Ishmael was offered to the Ifeios and Courier by the English publishers. The terms being satisfactory, the proposition was accepted by a cablegram which was dispatched from Charleston between eleven o'clock and noon. Before 3 P. M. a camblegram was l'l'UUi V UU li Ulll lilllLl UllllVUlJVillg the completion of t)ic bargain, and giving the name o? the new story. The price of the Weekly News is $2.00 a year.
