The levees of the Mississippi are' breaking in some places. The conn- | try, which will be overflowed, is one ; of the most productive in the Missis- j sippi Valley. Farmers on the low- j land fear that immense damage will | be done to crops and stock if the break j continues. Among the many things which was recommended by the Fanners' Convention for consideration bv tiie Leg islature was tnat 01 caning a constitual convention for ihe purpose ot having a general overhauling of that instrument. L Ax enthusiastic meeting was recentw lv held in "Washington for ihe purpose p of discussing and sympathizing with the borne rule bill introduced by Mr. Gladstone. A number of Senators and members of Congress were present and addressed the meeting. The bill seems to find universal favor with our adopted Irishmen. The latest invention is an electrical machine, which is fashioned something like an ordinary type-writer, and is christened "the printing telegraph." The advantage which it has over the ordinary telegraph system is that it prints a copy at the home office and one at the other office also, with the power of printing several others at one and toe same time. It is said that the Hon. George D. Tillman's silver speech has made him quite a reputation as a leader of'thq silverites. Prominent men of the Northwest have subscribed for copies, snme nf them taking as manv as one thousand, while numbers of others have spoken for five hundred. We would like to have seen him make his reputation either on the other side of the question or on some other subject. The labor committee to which was referred the Blair bill, after a lengthy discussion, have decided to report to the House a substitute for the Biair bill, which in general provides that the money received from the sale of public lands and the other revenues of the general land office be divided among the States according to their school population for the next ten years Seventy-five per cent, of the amount to be used for ihe advancement of the common schools, and the reraaiuder to be used for industrial and technical instrmitiou' P*?* the Blair bill that "if this government gives money to educate the children, it has the perfect right to dictate the manner in which they shall be educated. After a time the school books will be selected according to the peculiar political opinions of the majority in Congress." Upon this a leading exchange is inspired and says: The passage of the Blair bill would result in alf the schoal books being published in the North, and the youth of the South would be taught thai their fathers who served in the Confederate armies were traitors and redVi-jnrloil Onr Ti>va? cAnfpm. porary is right; the books would be prepared iu accordance with the political feeling in the North, and ibis is one reason why rlie Blair bill is oppo>ed by many of the South's ablest representatives in (Congress. The South is now educating her youth to love the Union and its institutions, but it will not countenance any measure which is likely to lead thein 10 believe that their fathers were guilty of any treasonable act for which they should blush. The London World says that Mr. Parnell is so sure of the establishment of a Parliament in Dublin that lie lias already constituted his ministry to be formed on the establishment of the Irish Parliament. Mr. Parnell will be prime minister, or his formal title will probably be President of the Irish Council. The Cabinet has been arranged as follows: Chancellor of the exchequer, Mr. A. O'Connor; minis;er of the interior, Mr. Sexton; minister of agriculture, Mr. Iiiggar; minister of education, Mr. J. McCarthy; minister of public works, Mr. T. P. O'Connor: minister of justice, Mr. ^ .. ? * f TT._1 .. Uhase; attorney-general, .vli\ neaiy; solicitor-general, Mr. D. Snllivan; minister of commerce, Mr. Harrington. It is also intended to appoint a minister who shall have charge of the relations of Ireland with the Irish in America, and it is probable that Patrick Egan will be brought over to fill this position. Mr. John Dillon is to be Speaker of the new Irish Parliament. Some of the New York hot-headed Unionists have taken occasion to except to some remarks made by Jefferson Davis in his address at Montgomery. The New York Star says: It seems thai some of onr hotheaded old warriors in Albany are becoming restive again. Time has not softened the animosities -?i a Barnum, j and gentle peace hath nr. Tories for j the martial Hnsted. The vi-.ice of a ; feeble old gentleman making touching! allusions to the dead :tml indifferent j references to States ri?iit> has been j like the trumpet's cai! r,? !> >e stern i and as the s ?;u nnnle tree i * ? - - i 4 puts :orth the tender nlossems ofj spring, they see only a gibbet that was j cheated of its prey, and take up the : hoarse chorus of the war. We had hoped that ?u?h a demon-: stration might be avoided: that other j lessons might be drawn from the dedication of a soldiers-* monument than those of hatred and blood, and that a i little buncombe in the South might be I met with good-natured forbearance at j the North." And it would have been so met. ana j was in process of being tolerated as a retrospective utterance incidental to i any last appearance, when chose son- ; of "guns at Albany went oft at half- j cock, tilled the Assembly with smoke j and fired hot shot into the tranquil ' f;n memories of the past.

A soldier's grave may yet await the \ in General, but we hope, we pray that > ^ such a life may not be sacrificed to j civil war. j Sc< .... - : a:i Tiic Veto Power. in , to Upon the report of the judiciary comuiittce, to whom was referred the proposed amendment to the Constitu- . tion relative to the veto power of the President, the New York Star says: | rpj "The judiciary committee of the j s[ Hou^o has returned an adverse report upon the proposed amendment to the * Constitution giving the President power to veto items in appropriation bills. ^ "It is one of the strange incidents of tms time mat so reactionary a iui;<imui; | should be strongly urged. Half a j century ago the veto power confided ga by the Constitution in the President j was thought to be unwise, and its j abrogation was advocated by many of p, the must influential statesmen of the jg Whig party. But now those public ~ men who received their instruction in a the Whig school are most prominent in ! 1 urging that the presidential vero should j - - : _? i ' t _ ^ : x ? i I ^ DC greatly and aimosi inuemmeiy c.v-; tended. j "It has been thought essential to I * constitutional government that the i Legislature should have control of the j j public purse; nor do we believe that the balances and checks of our system ' could be maintained if the Executive j were made a part of the Legislature, j and rendered able to bring its power | to bear upon every item in the appro- j priation bills. ; T "That separation between Congress j ^ and the President which, has hitherto ! been preserved, and which is as ueces- { sarv to the dignity of the bouses as it j ? I W j is to the independence of the Execu- ^ tive, would at once be destroyed. ^ "But there is another end perhaps a j more practical class of objections to j ^ the amendment. The power proposed j won'd not only place Congress at the feet <>. .he President, but would give him an irresistible influence over the ^ action of nominating conventions. Who would have the delegates from the States in the Mississippi Valley, if a river and harbor bill were pending ^ in Congress while the convention of the President's party was in session, as was the case in 1884? * 1 ** "ine propuseu aLut-numcm >wu?? ^ ffitoteia&Udments to the Cousti- ^ a**? wimiu which to sign a bill. 61 How could he in that time give proper consideration to the items in an appropriation bill which a committee of the * House has spent months in maturing? 11 ! "Whatever the evils are ot our sys- cc J tem of government, we do not believe ei that they can be corrected by the crea- Ul tion of a dictator to serve for a definite Sl term, and removable only by death or sC the process of an impeachment. "The Star adheres to the fundamental principles of free constitutional government, one of which is that the i * power of veto should be limited to! a those general objections which affect i a bill in its cntiretv." ri i111 T2i? Farmers Convention. ; th Thursday wa< a busy day in C'olum- i it. bia. Nearly three hundred delegates al representing the farmers of the State j ll had assembled in the city under the j le leadership of Mr. B. II. Tillman for i ei the purpose of devising some scheme j fa to lift the people of the State from j ot their present depressed condition und i w place them Once more upon a firm | fii footing. Tiie Convention was called j b( to order at noon by Mr. Tillman, and | y< lie at once proceeded u deliver an | tv address to the delegates assembled, i at 'stating the origin of the movement \ in and mapping oat a 'ine of action for I y< the Convention. It has never been j w * - - - ? _ _ . ! - - J _. _ X* > 4- U oar pleasure 10 iook upon a oouy 01 m men who seemed more determined to tv make some advancement in their call- sh ings and professions. Whatever may fa have been the motives which prompted j L the agricultural "Moses" in the pres-1 of ent movement, one thing is sure, and j m that is that there are men in the Con- | h? vention who will not be ruled by any i th political demagogue, or take part in | th any action which would tend to a dis- j c! ruption of the Srate Democracy. After j tii a permanent organization had been j w effected, number of resolutions, | Or touchm# almost everv interest of the I a State, were introduced by different! w members of the (Convention and ap-1 fa propriately referred to the committee cc on resolutions. " j of In the Convention 0:1 Friday the i cc committee 011 resolutions reported I ai: back a number of the matters which j fa had been referred to the u for consid- j gi eration, and the Convention began its ! n? work in earnest. Naturally the first i ry resolution which came up for action ; ai: bv the Convention was one stating the ! m | object, of the Convention. It was j Li solemnly declared that the meeting of: fo the fanners was not to organize any j an separate party, but that they were j I" true Democrats, and, a? farmers, they j M only desired to discuss among them-j in selves what was the remedy for their j ro depressed condition as a body, dis- fu claiming; at the same time any inten-' of tion to array one class against an-; sr other, or to do anything which would : a tend to divide the Democrats of the i mi State. A resolution was also adopted j In nrovhlinir for a permanent organiza- ) sh tion of the tanners of the State, and | m< providing for an annual meeting to | ye discuss questions which related to fa1 their profession, and to recommend ; such measures as they thought re-! la' quired their action by the General : in; Assembly of the State. j an A resolution was introduced and I fti ,-orablv reported from the committee d adopted urging tho Legislature of j Stale to so amend the lee bill which ates to the costs of attorneys as to :c it from abuse, and also to prole some way for 'he speedy settle ;nt of estates. A bill covering: this solution came near passing both uses at the last session, and it is fe to say will become a law in the ar future. By far the most important resolum adopted by the committcc, and e which effects every individual tpayer of the State, was one proving for a more equitable equaliza111 of assessments in all the countic? the State. Under the present sys31 in some counties property is as2ssed far above its real market value il fur -itmvn what if shnnld he. while other counties property is assessed o low. This question has been agited by the press of the State for some ne, and all classes will join heartily the ^ffort to remedy the inequalities. The resolutions introduced by Mr. llman, which may be appropriately vied the platform of the Convention, ere adopted by a large majority. In ief, they provide for the establishent of a real agricultural college in e State, to be separate and distinct om the South Carolina College, to be ider the management and control by reorganized board of agriculture? id board to consist of ton members, ,re of whom arc to be elected anlally by the annu?l Convention ot irmere. In connection with this it proposed to establish an experiental station, to be supported by an >propriation from Congress. To susin the college it is proposed to inea?e the privilege tax on commercial rtilzcrs to double tne present tax, is thought that from this the institujn would realize about $50,000, this Ided to the $5,700 arising from the nd scrip would be sufficient for the ieds of the college, flis platform so provides for the abolishment ol ie Citadel Academy at Charleston, id the money now appropriated for to be given to the South Carolina allege. Instead of the Citadel the solutions provide for converting the itadel into a Stale College for girls, id to be supported by the State, his with some other resolutions hich effected the farmers only constiited about the work of the Conven 311. While we do not approve of the itire action of the Convention, they scussed many questions of vital imirtance to the people of the entire ate, and their meeting may resull meficially to all classes. Facts and Fijrures. We have read with interest the reph ' Captain McMeekin to our article lblished in our issue of the 17th inst. id we add with 110 little surprise y way of preface to what we slial rve to say, we refer to his fonnei it controversy. He alleges (hat th< tate is governed by an oligarchy o: w\ ers, that this fact is too plain to lx inied, and that this is the pith of tlx Hnplaint urged by the present farm*s' movement. By an oligarchy w( nderstand a government in which th< ipreme power is vested in a few per ms. In ca?e of the present aliegec r ? igarcuv uie lew person*) vesica >vm. ie power of government are the law> irs of the State. Under the call o: r. Tillman for a convention of the rmers of the State, which was th< igiu of the present uiovouu-nt, w( link that the i?>it>; thai. the ^late was iled by an uligaichy was .-quarel) ade in sub-ian'x* if* not in exact!} 18 words in wi.ich oar friend make.' This leads us to inquire if the legation is supported bv ihe facts 01 - -l .1 .. ?iw ic nuu 11 uit; ui tin gislative department of the gov ninent will corroborate those cts. Fi\.m the Senate journa ' 1SS2 out of thirty-three Senators ho answered to their names at the st roll call, leaving onlv two mem;rs absent, there were eighteen lawn's and fifteen farmers. There are penty-seveu committees in the Sen e, and out of this number the chair en of seventeen of them were law ;rs and the chairmen ot ten of thenr ere farmers. In the House of 188: ie farmers had a large majority. Out o: irenty-six committees #he chairman iip of sixteen of them were given tc rmers and ten to lawyers. This egislature our friend was a inembei and we are surprised that he shoulc ake the allegation that the lawyers id the chairmanship of a majority o e committees of the House and thai e Senate was composed almost exusiveiv of lawyers. But we conme the investigation further and see hat was the make-up of the lasi eneral Assemby. In the Senate out o: total membership of thirty-five there ere thirteen lawyers and twentv-twc rmers. There were twenty-sever unmittees. Fanners were chairmer ' the following committees: Agriilture, Charitable Institutions, Claims id Grievances, Commerce and Manuctures, Contingent Accounts, En ossed Bills, Federal Relations, Finice, Immigration, Legislative Libra , Medical Affairs, Public Building? id Public Lands, Retrenchments and Dads, Bridges and Ferries. Total 15, iwyers were made chairmen of the llowing committees: County Offices id Officers, Education, Enrolled Bills, corporations, Judiciary, Military, ines and Mining, Penitentiary, Printg, Privileges and Elections, Railads,. Rules. Total 12. From the regoinjr it will be seen that instead the Senate being composed exclui*elv of lawyers, that the farmers had majority of nine, and were cbairim of a majority of the committees, i tne House out of a total inembernf nne> hnnfirpH nilfl t WPntv-foiir embers (here were thirty-four lawrs and ninety farmers, a majority in ror of the farmers of fifty-six. Out of the twenty-six committees tvyers were chairmen of the follower Privileges and Election?, "Ways d Means, Judiciary, Incorporations, lilroads, Education, State House and I -I -'-111" III | Ground?, Mines and Mining. Printing, i Engrossed Bills, Legislative Library, i Enrolled Acts, Rules. Toud 13. Farmers were chairmen of the fol: lowing-: Agriculture, Federal Relaj tions, Ciaims, Roads, Bridges and Feri ries, Internal Improvements, Public | Buildings, Accounts, Military, Peni; tentiarv. Commerce and Manufactures, Office? and Officers, Lunatic Asylum and Medical. Total 13. Now we think that our friend will admit tliiit from time immemorial iti all legislative bodies the chairmanship 01 the committees are given to those wiio have had the longest expe: rienee and service in the body, or in i other words the older members of the House shall have preference. An investigation of the above committees will bear us out in stating that the Legislature of our State is no exception to fho rnlp. and lh.it the chairmen of all committees arc given as lar as practicable (o those who have had long ; experience in the body. The appointj raent of chairmen is simply an empty ! honor and can have no etfect in the i real work of the committee. Tlie ! majority of the commitlec will aiways I rule. Captain McMeekin seems ?o lay great stress upon the fact that the judiciary committee iscoinposed exclusively of lawyers, and we judge from what he says that he contends that it | is the most important committee of the ! House. Upon this^we take issue with | him. We think and correctly contend that in all legislative bodies the ways , and means committee is the most important. That committee has the exclusive right of recommending appro. pnations, fixing levies, supplies, etc., and these are the questions which ! mostly cfleet the general public. A , recommendation from that committee is generally life or death to a bill, sim; ply from the fact that it requires long : calculations and investigations which : a majority of the House are unwilling ; to make. Not so with the judiciary. ' The judiciary committee from its , nature should be composed of lawyers just as the agricultural committee , should be composed of farmers. From i the nature of the professions, a lawyer : could better.serve on the judiciary and ? f..i-mni- <->n tht? Qcrrinilrnrn than com > a ~ -e> pose these committees of both classes, i In the last Legislature the judiciary was composed exclusively of lawyers, and on the other hand the agricultural committee was composed entirely ol ! fanners. Upon the ways and means ' committee there were seven farmers and six lawyers?a majority of one foi t the farmers. On privileges and eleC' ; tions the farmers had nine out of thirteen?a majority of four. The following committees were com posed exclusively of farmers: Agri culture, Roads, Bridges and Ferries , Internal Improvements, Penitentiary . and Commerce and Manufactures . And not to go farther into separau 1 committees, out of the twenty-six, tlx r farmers had a majority on all the work - bizr?; 'f&ilfaa'ds," iTiroVpdrat'nrre, i cation and Rales. Now do the fore f going facts and figures bear out tlx ; assertion that the State is ruled by ai i oligarchy of lawyers?a few persons! - We think not. We have shown tha i in the Senate the lawyers are in tlx 5 minority, and that the chairmen of i majority of the House committees an 1 not lawyers. To further disprove hi; i allegation we can say that of sevei Stale officers, not including the Presi f dent of the Senate, there is only on< lawyer--! he Attorney-General whe fonn the nature of the office must be i | lawyer. Where, then, is the oligarchy i | iVS JO OIU 11 luilii r> siijjtcfJiwu <11.> r I all iuterpretions of the law* by tin ' courts should be referred to the Logis ? | lature, we must admit that we did no i! understand him in his first article, bu 1 f j we think that the explanation in hi: s1 second admits of grave objections. H< - J would have the law so plain that i>] {i simply referring to the Statutes oi>< 1! could inform himself as to the law ?; To do this it would requite an act ol i! interpretation for every varied can j which might arise under a statute, and the result would be that we woulc i have enough of business to keep i Legislature sitting all the time, ant there would be no end of making books. Under what seems to us i i [ modified statement 01 tne case o > course the personnel of the Legisla ' ture coald have no effect. 1 Finally, we can only say that Cap - tain McMeekin admits that we have: ? good government, whether we have at . oligarchy or not, and wc leave it to an ' intelligent public to decide whether Ik ' has proved his allegation that we hav< I an oligarchy. ?
