A Kiel N.

Members of the committee express the " , opinion that no consideration will be given to that portion of Mr. Hewitt's bill which relates to the reduction of the tariff. 0?

Alluding to recent failures and the way of tbe world generally, the Provideuce (B. I.)

It will be time enough to contribute to the New York speculators when they are shown to need it. It is stated that two Massachusetts capitalists have just purchased a tract [ of 4,400 acres of land in HousJoj.igsgE-" tr, Ga?, on whichJgies^SFSpotia ti> esfcablish ^ of New Englanders. ,355lTfeauli?8 will occcpy the land at ouce, and twenty famines will follow / in the fall. A village is to be located ou the land, and a large chair factory will be pot in operatioa. The parchasers propose to give the Georgians an example of New England push, and are confident that they are but the advance gilard of many settlers iu Georgia from New England. Colonel Wm. Pdjcknky Stakke, of Beech Island, is actively ensraired on his work, the "Life of Calhoun," and has beeu giving much time to the col' lection of material. He has recently visited Winnsboro, to examine some letters and other docainents formerly belonging to Mr. Calhoun, now in the possession of Coi. Jas. H. Rion. Col. .Starke has the work well in hand aud . wilf carry it forward with all the , rapidity that the subject will justify. When completed it wiM be a most , valuable contribution to Southern lit- , eratnre, and while it will be appreci ated by patriots everywhere it will be , especially acceptable to South Caro- , iiaians. . ? . Two important railroad cases were wW begun before Judge Kershaw in Co- ( tombiaon Saturday,Col. Rion appeared i for the C. C. & A. Co. and Attorney ] General Mites for the Commission. In ' one case the road claims the right to ! fix a higher rale fi>r passenger lares > when paid on the train than when < tickets arc purchased, and in the other j It denies the authority of the Com- j | mission to fix freight rates beyond the | South Carolina line. The road claims that this latter authority is vested in Congress alone, and that the South Carolina laws to the contrary are unconstitutional?and therefore void. The decision will be rendered within ten days. Beautiful indeed is the tribute that JefFerxm Davis paid Judah P. Benjarniu. lie concludes thus: "Bearing: 110 malice to the land and the people by whom he had been nurtured, from whom he had received the highest trusts and honors, he looked back to the home of his youth with fondest recollections and most anxious wishes for the welfare of all the people he had JxvP?.

The pride of all Louisiana, the love of all true Confederates, the admiration of all Americans who rejoice in the glory of their countrymen must long keep green the memory of Judah P. Benjamin. Tiik Chattanooga Times says that this is the best time to build mills and ikctories of ail kinds and gives the following sonnd reasons for the statement : A furnace or cotton factory can now be built for from 20 to 32 per cent, less than the cost of the same in 1882; for that much less than either can be erected two years hence. They will be ready for the next inevitable boom, under the happiest auspices. It is calculated that in- the 24 new cotton mill* now building in the South, estimated to cost $24,000,000, at least $4,000,000 will be saved. Our contemporary wisely concludes that it is the settled policy in this couutry, as it has been iit England for many years, tobuild manufacturing plant when the materials and labor which enter their construction are lowest. The Boston Traveler says: "The vote iu favor of the Morrison bill shows pretty clearly that tariff reform . and reduction of the revenue will be made the i?arty cry of the Democracy in the coming campaign. But the matter should not be suffered to rest here. The Democracy must not be permitted to take the field in the coming campaign, aud assert that the Republicans, while defeating the Democratic attempt to reduce the revenue and reform the tariff, proposed nothing themselves in its place. Let at least the steps that shonkl be taken be speedily indicated, and let the responsibility for the defeat of any fair and just measure rest with the Democratic party. For such action the Republican party will merit and receive the approval of the country as well as for the defeat of the Morrison horizontal-reduction scheme." Ik a recent debate, Senator Ingalk, ill his forcible way, attempted to impress Senator Dawes with the idea that education will never make an Indian civilized like the white man, and that all such attempts are preposterous. He said: "When the florist wants a rose he does not go to the apothecary for his perfume, he does not go to the milliner for his fabric, he does not go to the painter for his hues; bat he goes to the soil for its subtle and potential chemistry: and all these atte-npts to raise the Indian in the social and moral scale by sending teachers down into those regions where he abides to instruct him in the Greek alphabet and the differential calculus, and to have his dinner served to him in course, and to TVear the ping hat and the gold watch of civilized life, are just exactly as absnrd and will be as futile in its results as it would be to go amonya herd of Texas broad horn steers and endeavor to turn them into Durhams and thoroughbreds by reading Alexander's Virgil in the cattle pens at Dodge City or Wichita." i tf"? - - TH?%ew York Her ald prints an interview with" Carl Schurz, which is mai(ily interesting ar?d instructive from the clear statement it presents of the meaning of the Independent movement and its possible influence on the Blaine "canvass. According to Mr. Schurz, the Independents organized to defeat Mr. Blaine, bnt without predilection or prejudice as to any other candidate. Any strong "compromise candidate," he thinks, will be acceptable to them; but they will certainly holt from Blaine, as from a man whose politics^ and personal record is obnoximjMo a vast number of so-called Efpublicans. "TIjc Blaine bubblej??arst," says Mr. Schu??jajtfrgsan intelligent and inifoential Republican himself, and representing an orga:- -ion within the party which has made it its business to thorough!v investigate Mr. Blaine's chances, he probably knows as well as anybody possibly can. He considers that Blaine has lost ground in Pennsylvania and the West, while the recent troubles in Wall street have injured his chances generally among business men, who have come to view him as.the representative of the elements which produced these disasters. Mr. Schurz has opinions regarding other probable candidates, and concemiuo the Democratic Convention at Chicago aud the "old ticket;'7 bat these are of less importance than those he expresses about Mr. Blaine. "the statedebt. It seems that the vexed questions arising" out of the bonded debt of the State are not yet settled. In the Supreme Court on Monday last, the case of B. J. Whalev vs. P. C. Gail lard, County Treasurer of Charleston, and , that of L. D. DeSaussaure vs. The Same, were argued. These actions Eire brought under the "Act to facilitate the collection of taxes", approved 24 December, 1878. The Columbia Register gives the following statement of . the nature and purpose of the proceedings: The plaintiffs tendered to the Treas* , nrer of Charleston countv. in payment x j ?;?t l-.. i. oi iiiies ussess>eu against ujcui uuuci the Act to raise supplies and make ap- ' propriations for the fiscal year com mencing November 1st, 1881, coupons t of consolidated bonds, other than "coupons which became payable dor- ' lag the year 1882 on the valid cousoli- ] dated bonds of this State, known as ; A r -.rr-'i-?, u~^-?^"--r 'Brown Bonds'which, by Section 7 ] of the said Act (17 S. L.,*1070), the Treasurer was not authorized to receive. The plaintiffs thereupon paid the Treasurer, under protest, the amounts of the coupons so tendered, > in legal tender notes of the United States, and bring these actions to recover the amounts so paid. The ground of the action, as stated in the complaints, is that notwithstanding the contract of the State expressed in the Consolidation Act of 1873, and recited in the bonds, the Act to raise supplies for the fiscal year 1881 has prohibited the Treasurer 01 , the State from receiving the coupons < of said bonds in payment taxes levied j by the said Act; and that said Act is, , therefore, repugnant to Article 1, Section 10, of the Constitution of the i United States. [That Section declares, among other ! things, that "no State shall pass any j bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or ( law impairing the obligation of contracts."] If that Act is unconstitutional, tbca the amouuts paid by the plaintiffs to tne Treasurer under protest in legal tender notes, were wrongfully and illegally collected and ought to be refunded ; and the verdicts and judgments for defendants should be set aside and the /*ftcp,c hr? remanded to the Circuit Court for certificates of that Conrt that the same were wrongfully collected, in order that the Comptroller General shall issue his warrants for refunding the amounts so paid. 3ut, if the said Act is not unconstitutional, then the refusal of the County Treasurer to receive the coupons tendered in payment of taxes was legal and right; and the amounts paid by the plaintiffs, in such currency as is required hi said Act, were not wrongfully and illegally collected, and the plaintiffs are not'entitled to recover in these actions, and the verdicts and judgments for tbedefendant should be afl^med and the appeals dismissed. Tlie plaintiffs are represented by Mr. Samuel Lord, of Charleston, and Mr. Seward., of the New York bar, and Attorney-General Miles ana tne non. Leroy F. Yonmans appear for "the State. The decisiou of the Supreme Court will be awaited with interest. THE FIGHT AT CHICAGO. Since the defeat of the Morrison Bill in the National House of Representative?, some weeks ago', the attention of the country has been turned to Chicago and the anticipated battle iu the ()Amm*raiir? f!nnvpnt.Tr>n. That ? ? >3T :there will be a figbt upon that issue in that body and at that time, is about as certain as events in the future can well be, and tbat it will result in a clear, ringing and unequivocal demand for a reform of the tariff laws, seems to us, equally well assured. It is to the Democratic party the greatest and most momentous of all important questions, and it behooves wide-awake and orthodox Democrats to look to a proper selection of delegates to represent them and the party in the Jniy Convention. The Protectionists, and that portion of the press in sympathy with their views, affect to.believe that the agitation and discussion of the question in the National Convention will result in great harm to the party and possibly in a fatal rupture. The battle should be fought in the Convention, split or no split, and if the cowards lead by Randall cannot be taught courage, and if it is impossible to show them the "error of their evil way" let them "depart in peace." For our part we can see no possible good to result from farther affiliation with that class of politicians, whose convictions arc and must forever be at war with the unbroken line Democratic utterances for years on the subject of the tariff and its reform. From the party ranks, should be eliminated every element of weakness and indecision, and we will then be abie to go to the country unhampered and uncramped by waning factions ?the one preaching tariff for protection in New England, and the other a revenue reform in the West and South. The "Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Times says: The Democratic Convention cannot escape the question which the free traders will bring to its doors. For a. time it was a question with them in Congress whether to modify their views into a measure which, though It got through, would be a virtual and humiliating surrender of the essence of their high proclamation, or appeal to the convention on their original line of revenue reform, looking as speedily as possible to free trade. The latter course has been chosen as the oue which will give them the opportunity, if beaten in the convention, to to the people with a platf<a>tf?~~which, < though beaten at first, yould, as they ' profess, in theendle^f to victoay and the possessionjzf^e sfovernment. It 3 is for tjty^-Ijght which the opposing J SkteTon the tariff question in the Dem- 1 ocratic party are preparing.

( The whole country is clammorim? 3 for a reform of the tariff, and the a lies tion is will the Democratic party throw away this golden opportunity to ! ride into power upon the bosom of the waves. .We hope not. J XEWS FROM MONTICELLO. < Politics in that Section?The Workings of the Pnblic School s-The Crops and Other Items of Pnblic Interest. Messrs. Editors: The number of candidates who have been nominated } and the call of the chairman of the Executive Committee for the County Convention, has forcibly reminded the people that another campaign is about to begin. It is the universal opinion that tiie chairman has acted wisely in postponing the convention to the last moment, while it is the unanimous opinion that the friends of candidates have made a mistake in rushing into the field. We of this section arc not in favor of nominating- Stnle officers in June, bat arc willing tabe governed bytbe action of the convention. It is t true that "the early bird catches the 1 worm," but when the miserable little ? Republican "bird comes out and his sickly little greenback Is seen oar Democratic hawk will be large enough to gobble up both the bircl and worm without winking. Apropos of worms rod other vermin, it is reported that j J. Hendrix Mcl^ane anjl other colored < political lights have been shining " ironnd in the neighborhood of Alston . "T .-:v . i . ? .... ' Depot. One or two more of the wit- j losses for the defendants wno went to Jolnmbia last winter have been arrested in the last week. The Monticello cjub will be called :ogether for reorganization in the ;onrse of the next ten days. While "there may have been other preferences for candidates from oucj. iounty for Congressional honors, we*' ire pleased to learn that Hon. H. A. Gaillard's chances for the position are so good. We arc sorry that we will lose his services as Senator, and know that it will be difficult to fill his seat in Lhe Senate. We know, however, that in a broader field he will win new honor for himself and further advance the best interests of Carolina. The Democrats 01 jjairneiti nave aiwavs held themselves in readiness to perform any service given them, and have faithfully discharged their duty on all occasions?this they did without hope of reward. They feel, however, that honors should be divided and that they should receive their share. Let us selcct our most mailable candidate and send a solid delegation to the convention for him. Among so many men for our local offices the people should find it easy to select a satisfactory ticket, but, "for ways that are dark, tho' not always vain," the average candidate is peculiar when with a countenance all (AUU UlULiUj TT 1 UUUVVl ill and winsome smiles, lie invites a voter to look in the month of a "pocket pistol" or introduces him to the innocent but intoxicating demijohn. The voter smiles and henceforth and until the next election is a firm supporter of this wily candidate without at all con. sidering the fitness of the man Cpr the place. The people should bear in mind the fact that governments and government offices 'are not instituted for the benefit of a favored few who will not work. The office-holders are apt to forget this fact, and it is the duty of the voters to remind them of it by forgetting to vote for negligent officers. "When a man has by faithfulness and honestly discharged the duties of his office they should, reward him by re-election.- JTo class or commuof fKfl nffi/voc II L^ dilUlliU WaiUi HO 4* UQUL I>UV vww^i They " arc made by the people and should be filled by the people, and though others may submit quietly for a time it will eventually end in trouble and disunion of the' party. We from this section hope that there will be no trouble in maintaining the good organization which has so long existed and will be ready to co-operate with the other organizations in the county. Near this place I witnecsed a scene which would "hare called forth peans of praise from those euthusiaste who are working so hard in the cause of negro education, bat which struck me as supremely ridiculous. By the roadside stood a dilapidated log cabin, in comparison with which the cabin so graphically described Dy trie Arsansas Traveller tvotild hove appeared as a palatial residence. In the doorway of this ldg pen, in a rickety split-bottom chair, sat an old man, whose tout ensemble brought vividly to mind the portrait of Kip Van Winkle as he appeared after his twenty years' sleep. A few feet from, him was a bench on which were seated seven little negroes; in the hand of eacl? little piccaninny was a blue-backed spelling book, and a voice could be heard drawling out with a clear,. African accent, a-b-ab, a-d-ad, etc. What a pleasing sight would this have been for one of those who are leading the crusade against Ignorance! Picture to yourself this venerable old philanthropist, who was guiding the faltering footsteps of these little smoked Americans to the brink of the Pierian spring; see how diligently he is laboring to get them to absorb some of the pure and crystal waters into their kinky heads-,?aafl yon must admit that he has choseu a noble occupation. It is true that he receives thirty dollars a month or thereabouts, and that the spelling learned one day will be forgotten the next, still it is money spent and time wasted in the holy cause of negro education, and it would' be blasphemous to say that it was not right. It is a mistake to educate the negro, but we must admit that it is a fixe<ffact that the negro will be educated in spite of all our opposition. If this Democratic Congress does not pass the Blair bill the next Republican (Wirrrpcs will mnkfi a snecial armro priation for negro education or make a general appropriation on such terms that the white children will receive little benefit from it. Let us therefore "go for the old flag and an appropriation every time," and after we get the appropriation put it where it will do the most good. Your editorial ou "The Young Democracy" was read with pleasure. A few short articles clearly and concisely written, giving a general outline of the fundamental pinciples of taxation and showing that a high protective tariff is an imposition on the people would do? much good. The News and Courier, the Louisville CourierxJournal and other leading j^psj^jraye done good service, but, rneir work should be suppky&ftTle<5"by the various county papfrs, for there are many votejy-^o read the county paper, but never sc-e the larger papers. (I don't charge -anything for that little hint.)

A?1 11 T rA rtTAn V grow worse UIIUI iiiLl, WUCU x guy w nw that I could not get about I tried a great many kinds of medicine but continue! to grow worse. I was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. Holloway finally told me to try Brewer's Lung Restorer. They sent to Ward's Store and got a bottle and I commenced taking it right away. After taking two or three doses, I began to improve, and by the time I had used up one bottle l was able to get on my feet again. I am now in excellent health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are of the same opinion.* It is the Dest Lung Remedy ever made in my opinion. Dr. j H. promised me that he would write to the | manufacturers and tell them of the won derful cure it made in my case. Statement ol' Mr. Beuj. F. Hearndon. Early in November, 1881, while sewing on the machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever commenced, she could neither eat nor sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. "V* Attending physician told me that he thought one of ner lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the most delicate nourishment on her stomach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician, to call Dr. Holloway in consultation. They made a final examination of the *\y\A T\rAriAnn/toH fho Sr. Holloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last resort I sent for a bottle and gave her a dose. I found that she could retain it on her stomach and after about the third dose, I began to notice some improvement in her condition. I continued the medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken two bottles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in better health than she has enjoyed for several years. I believe that Lung Restorer saved her life. We have a family of six children, some of them grown." Mr. Herndon's pcstoffice is YatesviUe, Upson county, Ga.
