L. yicnOSALD. ) The New York strikers still hold on, but with one exception there has been no violence on then* part. The Senate on Thursday confirmed the nomination of Col. D. F. Bradley as internal revenue collector for the district of South Carolina. It is said that the Hon. lioscoe Conkling prefers to content himself with a law practice of $60,000 in New York city to taking a chance in the political lottery. Comptroller Tkexholm has given the $100,000 bond required under the law and lias entered upon the dis - - - - , . 11 ?> charge of his duties as comptroller ui the currency. It is estimated that the funeral of the late Senator Miller will cost the National Government not less than fifteen thousand dollars. This is the way the people's money goes. Ax organization having as its object the encouragement of marriage among its members has been formed in New York recently. Each member is to i .1 1 JK.1I , 4l./-v receive live nuuureu ulnars num m? order on his wedding day. Charleston* seems to be making a remarkably bacl score with the ball and bat. It seems every day that the old story of being left is the order of the day. She should spur up and win a game occasionally at least. For the benefit of ail parties interested ^ve learn and announce that the Farmers' Convention -will be held in the Agricultural Hall at Columbia on Thursday, and that the meeting will be called to order at 12 o'clock. Humors of the approaching marriage of President Cleveland have gained their way into the press of the country, and it now seems to be a settled fact that the ceremony will take place early in June. If it be true it will be the second instance of a President marrying during his term of office. The genuine strike has at last reached New York, and as a con?e ljut;iiur Jicai j v an uiv uu uuvo hare been tied up and business on the roads suspended. On the evening of the first day of the strike a serious riot occurred, in which it seems the strikers fared pretty badly- If seems that the men have no serious complaint to make, but are just obeying ordersLabor against capital seems to be the order of the times, and the result of the contest will be awaited with interest. The encampment of the Grand Army of New York, representing an organ ized body of 35,000 veterans, at a recent meeting, passed resolutions expressing satisfaction at the course reference to veterans of the war holding office under the federal Government. They desire to put themselves on record as approving his course, and as believing that he conscientiously intends to carry out the law in favor of war veterans in appointments to Federal offices. Judging from the very small attendance on the two meetings held here ?the one on Saiesday last and the other on Saturday?the farmers' movement has made little impression in Poii-fiol/l On lioit-hpj' firf.asinn was the whole number of persons p: e^etit equal to fifty, and of these quite a good part were mere spectators. We have uo wish either to clog" or to belittle this tnovemeht. But we think the small interest shown in it here indicates a decided want of confidence in it as a means of benefitting outpeople. Ix has been alleged by some of the Ohio Republicans that Senator Payne secured his seat in the Uniced States Senate by bribery'and corruption, and a committee of the State Legislature has spent several months in investigating the charges. They at last find that there is no evidence to sustain the charge, hot in their overwhelming desire to secure another Republican member of the Senate they have decided to take the investigation into the " - ii. T"> cenare. negTve uic ltvpucu^ai. members of that body credit for ir.ore principle and practice than to use their majority in unseating a member who has rightfully and lawfully been elected to represent a State in that body. Attorney General Garlaxi> appeared before the telephone investiga_ ting committee on Monday and relmn viewed before the committee his connection with the Pan-Eicctric Company, of which we have heard so much lately. In a straightforward way he told of how he became connected with the company and what part he had played in all the proceedings. Nothing of a compromising nature in. his transaction with the company could be charged against him. Instead of using his official influence to promote the interests of his company, he stated that if he had been only a private individual he would have had au opportunity of advancing their interest to a much greater extent. His whole connection with the company has been honorable and manly, and should lay at rest many of the criticisms which have been passed upon him. A leading exchange has the following to say of the late Father Ryan, who died a few days ago: tV.?l TJ c- on. riilliCI XW >?** ) ?? Utam tf uo ?u^ounced on Saturday, was born in Virginia in 1S40. He was educated as a priest. The war breaking out just as he was of age, lie followed its fortunes in a sacerdotal capacity. At the close of the war he was for a time at Nashville, and later at Clarksville. For a number of years he was at Biloxi, Ali^s., near Beauroir, :he retreat of Jefferson Dans, and there became more closely the friend of the exPresident of the Confederacy. In 138:3 he was flora ti:nt at Boston College ' and at Montreal, and later made a j lecture t??ur ot the Northern States. | He is be-t known a> a welcome conI tributor to Irish and Catholic neriodi| cals and as the author of a volume of ! poetry, written "always in a hurry," j he sa>s in iho preface, and collected | only upon the urgent request of a I young lawyer friend, wno took the j risk* and share* tiie profits of publish! i nir. Tn! ; following comments on the present labor troubles have been made by Jefferson Davis in reply to a letter of inquiry upon the subject: j Fully appreciating the compliment I conveyed bv your request lbr mv views as to what legi>lation might be adopted to adjust tlie conflict now goinir on between capital and labor. I regret that the compliment is so little merited. The old war between capital and labor has called forth the best intellects of Europe. It has disturbed commerce, overthrown governments, produced anarchy, and crept from the wreck without solving the problem. With us the contest is in its incipient ctHfp mid hnrmilv if m;iv !)<( that sftme thing can be done to ( heck it* growth. Self-interest and free competition for labor will, wherever laborers arc abundant, give to the rich the power to oppros the poor. We cannot legislate to destroy the mote of self-interest, tor that lies at the foundation of progress, and our efforts must, therefore, be directed to unifying the interests of labor and capital as far as this may be done by the Legislatures of the States. Tho present form o! conflict ! in our couutrv i> between associated labor and the organizations employing it. It is not a sufficient answer to say that the price ot labor ha> advanced, unless it can be shown tliat the profits moved pari passu with the profits of capital; for in this, as in other things ot comparative welfare, we must consider the relative improvement. The standard of coin fort rises proportionately to the increase of wealth in tlie country. Your idea ot a Court of Arbitration, 1 think, has much to recommend it. The organization of such a Court, so as to secure equally the confider.ce of both the contending1 parlies, would require both liberality and discretion, ami it would be needful mat their deci>ious <honld be based on something like a co-operative principle of industrial partnership, in which the wages of employees should be measured by the profits of the corporation. If in this manner a community of interest could be established, the welfare and contentment of both would seem to be a possible result. "Compliments of Hoses''. It has been rumored in different I, A Cf iktA O 11/1 1 1 <*? .' ItAOl) jnunviJo ui itiu ijiaiV) aim ua* alleged by several of our exchanges, that the present farmers' movement is si nply a tidal wave originated bv Mr. D. lv. Tillman upon which not the "Agricultural Moses" himself but Lis brother, the Hon. George D. Tillman, is to ride into the gubernatorial chair. "When wc consider the fact that he has been spoken of as a candidate for Governor, together with some oilier circumstances, the rumor seems to us founded on fact. We were shown some days ago a Congressional document from the lion. Geo. D. Tillman, sent to one of the delegates elected from this county to the Stale Convention, which on the back contained the following words, "Comp. of Moses". This standing b^itself scetns a little thiug, but when point to the same conclu^Wi^^ to a great deal towards confirming"^ rumor that the movement has been gotten up in the interest of some one fur Governor of the State, and that the man is the !Ion. George D. Tillman. Why "frank" it with "Comp. of Moses" unless it meant something? We can only await the result of time to sc-e whether it is a significant fact or not. We predict that the rumor is true and will be proved by future developments. Our Satercsts in the Bill. 11: speaking1 of the Americans' interest in the bill now before the British Parliament, the New York Star say.-: Referring to the subject of our relations with England in the event that Parliament shall repudiate the solution of the Irish problem proposed by Mr. Gladstone, reflection strengthens us in the beliet that tho>e relations would be dangerou.-lv if not tolerably strained under such circumstances. We do not see how the great number of Irish unci Irish-American people in this country could be withheld from acts of reprisal of a character serious enough to embroil us. Canada has been invaded twice already in the cause of Irish liberty. To be sure, the demonstration was, in each case, ill-considered, inconsequent, Irantic, rather than formidable. But those were the days of Irish weakness. There was 110 organization, no colie sion, not even an intelligent unity 01 purpose. It was not to be expected that any tangible results could be attained under such unfavorable auspices. Parneil, however, has changed all that. The Irish movement is now represented by a compact, resolute and homogeneous body of men?men who know what they want and are thoroughly equipped for the work of securing it. W here formerly irresolution, weakness and infirmity of purpose prevailed, now there are strength, harmony, confidence. The leaders ol the lri-h movement have thoroughly defined their objects, and the ?eneratioti tias apphuided them. They have digested their plan of action and made sure that civilization will approve them. They are completely organized, j abundantly supplied with material oi I every description, in deadly earnest as i to their purpose, and enlightened by the bitter experience of long years ol failure and misfortune. We cannot beiieve tiiat such tremendous forces as are at the disposal of j the Irish movement could be neutral* i izod by anv policy of repression Parliament might adopt. "Within the 'jurisdiction of Great Britainthe movej ment could perhaps be kept within i bounds; but wl.at restraining inflaI ence could or would be exerted upon j the powerful and determined organiza tion in this country, equipped as it is with money and men, and upheld, as it conspicuously is, by popular opinion. We cannot escape the conclusion that wc ure very deeply interested indeed in the outcome of the Gladstone bill?not only through our deep and genuine sympathy with Ireland's struggle for manhood, but on account of the facility with which we might be ini volved in the calamity of that bill's ! defeat. ?

The Conores.-ional investisratiiisr com iriftce appointed for the purpose of : finding out some of the causes of t>r<> ! present strike among laboring men, i had their first sitting on Thursday. | Messrs. Powderlv and McDowell, on i the part of the Knights, appeared be! fore tlie committee and revealed some ! very interesting facts concerning their ! organization. The association was I . j nmneu in riuiaueipma in tue tan ot ! 1S69, with a membership of nine per: sons. It was tlis outgrowth of the . disorganization of the German Cutters' i Association of that city, which had been organized four or live years previous, for the purpose of paving to ' sick member' a weekly allowance dur ing lheir sickness and to bury their dead- This organization did not better their condition in the workshop, ! and as a result the order disbanded, ; and the present Knights of Labor As; sociation was formed. The society i from its beginning has not confined , itself to soliciting members from the i work-bench and the mine, but the 1 order has been open to all men who earn an honest living by labor of the hand or brain hi any occupation. | Two occupations, however, were excepted, viz: Lawyers and Bankers, and as Mr. Powderly says, from the fact that they were fully capable of taking care of themselves. It is a benevolent association for the protection of the laboring class of the country. The membership of the organization has increased from nine in 18G9 until it now reaches about five hundred thou-and, extending to nearly evr-rv Sr:itr> hi ihi> TTnimi. hnf rnnst.lv i iii the North and Northwest.

Editors: In an editorial i contained in your issue of the 17th ; inst., the truth of the observation that ! that there is a general depression of | business throughout the country, is I too seriously felt to be doubted. Hard : times never fail to make us grumble, | but I can scarcely subscribe to your : affirmation, that we farmers ascribe j this condition to an "oligarchy of lawj vers"; but to a multiplicity of causes i rather; among them I may hazard the mention of adverse seasons; the tuonj ctary policy of the Federal governiinent; ths concentration of capital in the hands of too few individuals, etc., etc.; but not, I think, to the "oligarchy", nor, so far as I am advised, tw any shortcomings of our State governuieut. I note your objections to j statements of facts contained in my i letter, to which yon refer as an open J lviter, but which was in fact a private ; letter addressed to Major Woodward. They indV not l>6 strictly uccuratc. As is usual in each correspondence, and particularly when the communication goes to one whose opportunities for information are superior to those of the i writei^rt*iLi|)ere^ore 110t 'hible fo^Jc misled by mistai?fe'rllc ts are | not carefully conned, sr> i, in this case, j did not, perhaps, consult precise accuI racy of terms as I should have done, ! ii i n;m liuenaeu 11 n?r puoucaiion, ' j Major Woodward being in a position ; to lie informed, his endorsement en. courages ine to conclude iliat these statements are not vit sited hv anv j grave errors, .-m l that, alter making ' due conecti.iii'i, enough i-till remain to I Mist.tin the <:ori?*?-ine>s ?>f my po.Miioil I as to the eharaeier of ilu? government. | I have not at hand the journals of the . last legblaiive term. 1 do not doubt, i however, that they will confirm the j statement: that tne House judiciary 5 com mi tee wsts composed exclusively i of Isiw>ers. and thai ihe chairmen of the co i rniiu-o.- on railroads, education a!:d ways :uid means were lawyers. These are vn-v important committees. Tin* judiciary, as yon arc aware, has ! initiatory :sction on the greater part of . the bills proposing gei e al legislation, - and its report on them, wilh or wiili. out approval, is usually lile or death, respective!}, to them. I do not mention this to complain at it. The elimi nation of the unnecessary and the worthless from I he great mass of bills rushed in bv members from every part of the State is proper and even required, when it is considered what a number of them is presented during . the short legislative sessions; but-the committee that does this hold the leverage of the legislative machinery, to : say nothing as to the advaniange its members hsivo over others, in having already discussed iu the commitim, tiie iHerits or otherwise of bills that come up for consideration by the House. I do not charge, and have not :. charged, that th s committee has ever taken advantage of its position to > secure legislation exclusively for the lawyers' benefit, nor do 1 charge that our government has been improperly administered; on the contrary. I say, as you admit, that I am not aware of any charge of corruption or maladministration that can be made against it, but that there is a complaint, viz., that we are go-erncd by an oligarchy of lawyers. I admit that they are able a Hi honest and give us a good government, but this only augments the danger of the perpetuation of the oligarchy. A careful perusal of of your article has failed to show me wherein I err. It. will of course be admitted that this oligarchy exists by the tolerance of the farmers, hence also that they are in a certain way responsible for the legislation since 1876?a responsibility, however, not hard to be borne whether t *1. . r- 1 1 . oy me iarnier or uy uic ji*?v vei , l>ul for the tolerance of the oligarchy, I submit, the farmers are gravely censurable: 1. Because they submit to deposition, by a minority, from their rightful position withou' relief from the responsibilities imposed by it. 2. : Because continued acquiescence in this inferior po>i;ion will lower the standard of patriotism and of the manly j virtues. It is manifest they can only j : rehabilitate themselves by taking tne position for which they are, and rightly should be, held responsible. If this is : antagonism to other classes, it is, at j any rale, only the legal and just antagonism such as is exerted by tho-e that sue out warrants of ejectments against intruders on their premises. You ask what great power the Speaker of the House has vested in ! him that makes him a dictator of itv j This question suggests the inference that I have made a charge of this nature, i think a perusal of my let-1 ter will not support it. However, the Speaker does wield a very a very con-, siderable power. He appoints the comini1.tees. He makes almost innumerable rulings. With party feeling ruiiuinv hiiih a partisan Speaker exercise* (lowers lo be dreaded, as e. g. tbe Republican Speakers, Blaine and Keifer. Of Mr. Speaker Simons, let nit? sav he disnlavs as Dresidin<r officer (not referring to the appointment of | jommittees, and in this I suspect he on I v follows custom,) impartiality, ability and urbanity. lie is, I imagine, us near an approach to a typical Speaker as we are likely ever to have, atid yet I have enough of the iconoclast in me, in this contingency, ignor-1 ing vHicicncv and consulting only the j fitne? of things to desire the farmers i to place one of their own number in j the c air he now occupies. It is true ; the lawyers arc Democrats as well as i farmers, but the latter, constituting the great mass of the party, should hold the positions that will enable them to control its actions, since the/ are justly held responsible for them. This does 110 iimisticc to the minor factors of the party. Their cxclu>ion from office is not proposed. The sense of justice of the farmers and their admiration of talent may be relied on as agents to prompt them to bestow, in the distribution of offices, more than a pro rata share on the members of other occupations and professions. After a careful examination of your criticism of my suggestion that an interpretation of law by the courts should, in every instance, when the interpretation modifies the meaning of the law, be referred to the Legislature for its action before such modification of meaning should have the force of I - * i . i law, ltoccnrs to me you ao not apprehend my meaning. To explain its operation I will uee your illustration. An Act, admitting of two entirely different constructions, comes, in the manner s-tatcd by you, before the court for construc'iou. It will be it* entire consonance with the scheme I propose, for the court to construe and administer i he law as heretofore. The ca^e, to follow your illustration, ie carried to thft Snnreine Court, and here atrain the plan interposes no obstacle to the proceedings of this Court, but at this point it begins to act. This Court, we will suppose, defines the law and relieves it of iis ambiguity, and of course modifies its meaning. The plan then requires this modification of meaning to be confirmed by the Legislature; before it can be quoted as the law in any subsequent court. Constructions by the courts, when not modifying the meaning of laws, would require no legislative action. Many questions of detail come up at this point; such as, Who will determine that the meaning of a law has been modified? Whose duty will it be to advise the Legislature of modification? etc., which are passed by as foreign to my present purpose. The great object ot the flinmo ie 111-yf- tn rlon vivO t hp Oft fll* ts of the privilege, perhaps it would be more correct to say unavoidable duty, of construing the laws and administering them as they have always done, but of the cxercifce Jof the legislative function. I entertain the highest respect for onr Judges as men of ability, righteous judgment and spotless character; but I aun persuaded that legislative powers should be wielded only by the Legislature. It would also effect this good result: Anyone could in term iiimseit oi trie tan- oy inereiv con>ultingthe Statute, and not as now have to roam through heaps of tomes | in search of opinions by distinguished jurists only ailast to find his confusion worse confounded. Your objection that the personnel of the Legislature is changed by every election appears to me" to have no force. The more change of the members of that b xly does not in the slightest degiee affect its authority to make laws. A bodv composed entire ly of new members could as effectually give or refuse confirmation of the modification o^sfcpfr by the court, as the boclv its?j*f that enacted the law. Of co,iw^T^ou know this as well as or -tJtTttcr than I, and I am surprised that you made such a blunder. Referring to my postscript, in which I disclaim any desire that the farmers would arra> themselves against other j classes, you affirm that I have made the issue by saying the State is ruled by an oligarchy of law} crs. To point out your error, it is only necessary to j state that that opinion, when I wrote it, was entertained, so far as I know, only by myself. It has since, as you know, been endorsed by Major Woodward. The farmers as a body have as vet made no sign. I am, perhaps, less informed of their views concerning it than yourself. It is therefore conferring too much honor on my poor effusion to say it has ni<ide the issue. I believe, however, that the farmers owe ii to themselves,' since they are held, and justly held responsible for the course of public affairs in this State, while antagonizing no other class, nevertheless to indulge seItassertion to the point, as I have said oerore, ot liiKiug enou^u *>i mo jjuuu^ positions to enable them to control the current of events. Finally I will just add by way of rejoinder to your remark that I " ee an imaginary cause of the depression in the fact that lawyers have been elected by agricultural constituencies, that no one of that constituency has more uniformly cast his vote for some member of the legal fraternity at the recurring elections than myself.
