Belfast, Ireland, was the scene of a dreadful riot 011 the 9th inst. It seems to have been the work of roughs and thieves who were anxious to plunder taverns and get the booty. Sexatok JtJL'tler wiii uenvei ujv anniversary address before the students of Wofford College at the approaching commencement. They may expect something good from him. The employes in one of the Augusta mills arc on a strike on account of the failure of the head of the mill to discharge one of the overseers whom, it is stated, they did not like. All the other mills have joined iu a circular that unless the employes in the strike do not return to work they will all shut down this week. This action would throw about live thousand out of employment who make their living in this way, and also the support of their families. An effort is being made to induce the overseer who is the cause of the trouble to resign. Tup folio winy interesting statistics * "" """" " O W shows what manufacturing indutrics will do for a town: The population of Durham, IH. C., in 1870 was 25G, all told; in 18S5 it was 5,7G7. The property assessed for taxation amounted in 1870 to $50,000; in 18So to $964,- j 000; in 1885 to $3,286,000. The amount ' invested in manufactures in 1870 was $25,000; in 1S85 $2,170,000, showing an increase of $2,145,000 in fifteen years. Thore are 23 factories, with an animal value of products amounting io $2,088,000. In the factories arc employed 1,047 whites and 4GS blacks, whose wages average $5.25 per week, but this does not include managers, foremen, engineers, machinists or clerks. Alluding to General Brattoirs letter on the farmers' movement, the Abbeville Medium says: "Gen. Bratton has made a very serious mistake himself. There are many men in the State who think well of him, but this deliverance must alienate them from him. The farmers may be mistaken in many things, but the State is in no danger from them, and never nas Deen.Why should Gen. Brattoirs letter alienate those who think well of him? Why should the frank expression of honest convictions on public affairs I hurt the mazi who utters them? The Medium admits the possibility of the farmers being: mistaken. Is it an offence, for which a man must suffer the alienation of "man rx\r>n ^_tH? ^es inyoiyect iiTthe present movement? x It is useless for Mr. Blaine to try and get out of a difficulty. The following statement shows conclusively that what he says, by some nook or crook, always turns up against him and with it a good deal of damage: Mr. Blaine always was unfortunate in his denials. The evidence of what he has said has an ugly way of turninor *-?n acainfif him. In denvin?" that he said what he was reported to have said about Lord Salisbury, in his speech on Irish home rule, he is confronted by one of the best stenographers in 1he State of Maine, who insists that he reported the exact language of the speech. It was perfectly natural for Mr. Blaine to make the denial when his language was criticised. It j is only a little while since he repu-1 diated an interview on the fisheries ! question, which was afterwards authenticated by the other party to the conversation, and through long years of practice he has acquired a habit of denying things brought up against 9 . him until it has become a second nature. After all that has occurred in i connection with Arkansas railroads, j Mulligan letters. Hocking Valley j mines, and other matters, his denials ought not to excite any surprise. It would be astounding to our people to know just exactly what they are furnished with from Western grain ? - i ana meat nouses ana otner tnings i which they might raise at home. The | Greenwood correspondent of the Ah- i beville Press and Banner tells the j people of that county what has been j bought at thai market, and from this } statement we can approximate what is j sold in our county, as Greenwood is j not half the size of our county scat. I From the first of January to the mid- I die of May the following statistics j show- whot was sold: Fifty-seven car-! loads of corn, twenty-two carloads of j bacon, 9,560 b-ishels of meal, 2,391 ; barrels of flour, and 44o barrels of j molasses. Is it any wonder, consid-! ering these statistics, that we hear the cry of "hard times"? There is not a single item in the list which could not have been raised at home, and easiiv . done at that. The sooner our people realize how dependent they are upon foreign markets for the actual necessaries of life the sooner will our country start or the grand march of pro- j gress and stand among the foremost j States in material prosperity. Carl Schurz, in his speech * few j uays ago ceiore uie ;?usSuciiuseu?; Reform Club, in speaking of the Dem- ! ocrats, said: "The Democratic party j thought there should have been a j grand old turnout, and no wonder that I the spoils politicians were disgusted, j That is the natural cause of the reaction noticed to-day. The spoils poli- j ticians drew encouragement from the ! thought that they would succeed if j they only tried hard enough. They j thought that the President would only ; adhere to the law, and if the law were ! broken down they would get what I they desired. They have been persist-1 cut, and that simple makes the President's work harder. The more clearly Cleveland proves the sincerity ol' his pledges and firmly adheres t-> them, the more surely will the Democratic party he compelled to follow his lead for its own salvation., and even should uie worsi CUlllC, Il \>iuvcj:iziu, utun^ iiis whole term, should preserve hi* ?>wn character against the assaults 01' of the spoilsmen, lie would have a party behind him larger tiian :hc Democratic party ever \va>. That party will be the America:) people/' A i'kominknt member of Parliament in a special cablegram to the New York Star, in speaking ot tlie approaching election campaign in Great Britain, says: 4'Very serious difficulfios virr-srMif ffo Ino >i:ccCS> ful prosecution of the coming electoral campaign, owing to fhc number of Scotch defections and the necessity of fighting so many seats hold by Unionists. The Scotch defection at the first blush looks one of the most aiarming features of the situation. It largely results from the religions element and the alliance between the Scotch and Irish presbyters, based on I he anticipated disestablishment of the Scotch Church, which is rapidly becoming a burning question in the Northern Kingdom, and, whether we will it or not, umst figure largely in the approaching canvass. The newly organized Scotch agitation for home.- rule and a separate Scotch Parliament in Edinburgh is another disturbing element. Wales, too, is beginning to i ! move for a land bill and home rule, i I shall be much surprised if before the j | Irish home rule question is settled the i?x._ i :... :.l I | principality uucs itui ;; i\u cuiimuoiuviv I trouble to the English Government. The patriotic instinct of Welshmen is a great and growing fact which English statesmen will have scon to reckon with. Hitherto the great land-owners j have managed to repress outward j manifestations of growing natural irn j patience with feudal laud laws and j government by an alien majority in an j alien Parliament. The flames first j lighted by Irish agitation arc, how- j ever, spreading through the mountains and valleys of Wales, and \vc shall hear a cry for Welsh home rule before the next Parliament of Great Britain is elected." Sympathy foi Ireland. The London Times, the leading J journal ot Orieat isritaiii, sneers ai me j Irish National League and its paymasters in our country. Throughout the entire contest for hoinc rule the sympathies of the American people have been with Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues in their effort to secure selfgovernment for Ireland. This is | nothing but natural, as our country is | made up in a great measure of citizens j j who trace their line of kinship back to i I Ireland. But aside from tins uicy: merely join in the verdict of civilized i mankind against the policy of England j towards Ireland. Americans, though,; says a leading metropolitan journal, j have reasons peculiar to themselves 1 for sympathizing with the Irish people, j | V/e know them and understand them ! far better than the EngJ xHeir'cniidren and grandchildren are American?, arsr! among our most useful And hnnnt-cd f.itizoni. "Wn liavn on this side of the Atlantic demonstrated what the Irish race is capable of when I no longer ground down by poverty or I imbiuered by distrust and oppression, j The history of the Irish and their do- j scendantsin America oilers a triumph-: ant vindication of their race from the i English libel that it is unfit for self-1 government, and it is but natural tint' Americans, of whatever origin, should sympathize in the indignation of their , neighbors of Irish birth or descent! over tlic spectacle of a. continuance ot"; tyranny in Ireland. There is no ill-will toward England behind this feeling among our people. Had we an}- desire to see to the British j empire dissevered and our kinsmen ! scross the sea humiliated, we shonld j not wish to see Ireland pacified and i becoming year by year more closely j knit to Great Britain. Had we hostile j designs against the British empire, we j should ask nothing better than a hos-: tile lire in England's rear by the broth-1 crs and cousins of the * "llions of American citizens of Irish birth or de- j scent. We already have a little dis- j pute with one of the dependencies of: tho Rritieli (Imwn. Tf is nno t!mt wo can readily settle with a reasonable ! and friendly government; but if a Tory government is to couie to power j in England and to try any "jingo": tactics toward us, it will tind that the i present American desire lbr a closer j union between Ireland and Great; Britain will vanish with wonderful rapidity, and leave behind it a disposi-; tion to widen the breach and to profit by it. It England is to be controlled ; by men who want to pick a quarrel with the United States, we shall have no reason to desire that Ireland shall be placated. A Terrible Aeeident. The most fatal accident which has j happened on the railroads of our j State for a. number of years occurred j on the Northeastern road between! Columbia and Charleston on Monday j last, in which eight persons were | killed, and a large number wounded, : some of whom quite seriously. The regular passenger train left Charleston on the day of the accident 011 time and was composed of the regular coaches and two sleepers. Just after! passing St. Stephens, and while 011 ; the portion known a.\ the Sautec trestle, from some cause,-which docs not seem to be deliuitely kiK-wn, the trestle-work gave wav and .the entire = x 1 train, with the exception of the engine j and the rear sleeper, was heaped" in { one pile of ruins in the wati-r filler the trestle, which was about I'oiii' feet! deep. \ i There was a pretty full passengcV list, and it is almost a miracle how i 7 ! anv of them escaped with their iives. i The train was running over the treble j at the rate of about twenty-five miles j an hour, and the first indication which j: the engineer had of the terrible accident tva- ajar, and upon looking back saw the coaches piling1 up in one heap behind him. As soon as possible those who survived and were able to render any a>>istance began the work of rescuing their comrades from the debriIc took some time to find out what was the result of the the accident, and - ?? - ; > .: 1 l us rapiuiy :i-. pos.-iuie imc huuuucu were removed to the sleeper which remained upon tiie track. The following is a ii>i of those who were killed outright :iiid were dead when found by their comrades: I)r. a. G. Kinloch, Mr. Win. Inglesby, Miss Flora Melver, Mis Hannah Wilson, Mi>s C. iC. McWhile, John L. Cole and C. A. l'rice. As soon as the news wa- received in Charleston a special train carrying1 a physician and all necessary relief for the unfortunate victims started for the *ccne of the accidcut, and returned to the city with the dead and wounded as soon as possible. As to the direct cause of the accident no one knows certainly, but it is f'lniKr'il l!i?u ! wvk 1 !|?? i !)' " of one of ihc wheels of the tender or that 1 he bench-work of the trest's had been undermined by the recent heavy rains. As soon as possible the coroner held an inquest and rendered r? verdict that the persons killed came to their death by an accident on the Northeastern Railroad, the cause of the accident to the jury u:ik!;o\\ n. The wounded were taken to Charleston and properly /.. ..il r.ii-- :n<? hi'ncf r.vr> In tiic effect that they are improving. Some of those killed had relatives in Winnsboro who were shocked to hear of the fata! occurence. It seems to have been one of those unavoidable accident for which no one can be held responsible, and which is received by the public generally with feelings of deep regret. Tliv Farmers' Movement. It is gratifying to us to know that our worthy fellow-citizen, Mr. T. S. Tl? !/ *? cniviL-iixr nc 111 r? Ai'orrmi'/ff of tllfi farmers' movement in Fairfield, made no farther complaint of The News and IIekai.d than these: 1. That we styled the proposed farmers' clubs ''Tillman Clubs". .:2. That we called public attention to the fact that Congressman Tillman's frank had been used to send a public document, with the "compliments oi Moses". If we shall succeed in so doing oui part in public afluirs as that no more serious charges may be laid upon us, we shall be well satisfied. The phrase which seem* to have given oft'cusc was found in other papers, and was used without any purpose to belittle anybody interested in the farmers' movement. The use of Congressman Till man's frank to send papers with hibrother's compliments appears to uan extraordinary proceeding that call; for explanation. "\\"e thought it looked as if the farmers' movement was io be used, in some degree at least, ic help Congressman Tillman's political chances. \Yc hope not. We stand corrected by Mr. l>rice, una we hope his notion about the tiling' is the righl ? r-V. LvUuc,' ivjjci " congi'css:uiuj I Tillman the Democratic nominator lor Governor. For reasons not allect ; ing the good character of that gentleman, we think his nomination wuultl be a very great mistake. The attitude of Tijk JS'kws ani IIeuald towards liie farmers" movement has not been one i>i hostility. It: columns have been open for the discussion of the matter, and it lias ail along urged that the movement be made respectable by the actual participation of the farmer*. Of the personnel of ti.e meetings here, we have nought to say but thai, they--especially the last?were made up of good citizen? representing the character and the intelligence of the county. But these gatherings were not intended to be represeattdice in the proper sense oi that tertr.r The fanners came together not as delegates, but as individuals. We must be pardoned, therefore, when we say that appearances indicate that the movement has not yet made a strong impression upon the farmers oi this county. Seventy-live out of about fourteen hundred is u small attendance upon a "mass meeting" of which the fullest notice had been given. \V"c have not yet passed any judgment on the action of the farmers in their organized capacity, because no such action is yet possible. The organization is yet unformed. But we do not hesitate to say that there are dangers in this movementdangers to the unity of tlie Democratic organization, and therefore to the whole people of the Stale. We accept as absolutely honest the assurances of Mr. Brice and other mCn of like good character, that there is no purpose to use the farmers* movement for political ends. IJul has not such use already begun? What of the recommendation of the State Convention that the Democratic candidates for certain offices be c hoscn by primaries? What of the proposition, in one county at least, to hold a fanners' convention ami have it submit the names of candidates for public office? What of the request made, in one county at least, by an avowed spokesman of the fanners, that aspirants withhold their announcements until the farmers' organization shall have met and acted? We mention these things as among the grounds of our apprehensions concerning this movement. If the purpose is to control the selection of candidates for public office, we hesitate not to say that such purpo-e carried into effect will be a serious blow to the Demo crauc ?;i uiuw ui;u uuunot be lightened by going ill rough the ona of a ratification of the farmeiv choice, by means ui' a primary election. The primary would simply rcconl the judgment already made up?a judgment against all other than fanners?a judgment in the making up of-which ail bill farmers had been Excluded. Is ii safe, is it right, to pieced to judgment I:i such manner? ^vgain. if i':e purpose of 'he movement is to eill-ci legislation in the ini \ - ?MB?nw MO ' terest of the farmer?, we have 110 doubt I that such end may best be accomplished through the Democratic organization, without the action of any other. This is especially true since the farmers already control the Democratic part}-, iinrn nn nrfrimi'/ntion fif friniiors. ? r> * tii such, would necessarily admit members without regard to politics. Ji' men be adini'ted without regard to ' politics, then the organization might soon be absorbed by hostile elements. If none but Democrat* be admitted, then the organization is political in character. A political organization, outside the Democratic party, would be a.s dangerous as ii is unnecessary.. Surely no one can pass any criticism on the farmers for desiring to organize. They have more than once done this, to the good of the State. In the years of South Carolina's deepest i humiliation the State Agricultural ; Society, sustained by the efforts and : sacrifices of good men in different I ? I counties, stood as one of the few insti' tutions left to the white people of the State, as a reminder that there was : something" of our civilization which neither (he negro nor the traitor nor even the Federal soldier could destroy. Yet it has been charged that this Socic. ty, too, is affected with the "political j leprosy" that has possessed the State government! The Grange?what of it? Is it, too, repudiated because it is only a part of the "machine" used to cajole if not to oppress the farmers of the Stale? These are some-of the considerations ' which cause us to question the expe; dicncv af tiie farmers' movement in j the shape it has taken or threatens to : Wi mif>_ mora than ourselves. i ' ! is desirous that something nay be j done to lift the farmers and, aljng j with them, all other classes of our people, out of the difficulties that now thwart their progress- -that even threaten their ruin. That man is a fool who thinks that any class in South j Carolina can grow fat upon the labors j and sacrifices of the fanners. The ; i greater 1'ooi is he who would, under j any pretext, do or say aught to hinder j the farmer in the road to success and j competence. And it is neither wise . j nor just, when men other than farm! ers, and even fanners themselves, ? i question the efficacy or the policy of ; i the movement recently inaugurated, : i to impute to them motives other than : those which should actuate good citizens. To the movement here in Fairfield i we have, of course, no hostility. We , | only hope that it may be so guided as ! j that it shall do a'l the good that is cx-! pectcd of il, and none of tlw harm i j that is feared by those who, with full i fdili in t!.o sinceritv of the participants here, nevertheless doubt its expediency.

The recent iloods cut I ' I off communication in every direction : j except by way of the Charlotte, Co ! 1 utnbia & Au<rnsty... I jijjy 24 ,T ' kc II increase their connections. Trevtcck-1 holders of the Laurens, Newberry & J Columbia Railroad held a meeting here [ | on Tuesday. This road will crois the : river at some point near the city and | run through a prosperous, but at pres' | out undeveloped (so far as railroads arc concerned) part of Lexington, to ' .Newberry and Laurens and points beyond. ^ A street railway company has been 1 organized, and work will begin on the Main street on the 1st July, and the road will bo completed by the 1st ! September, it is proposed to run the curs from the State House, up Main street, to Ehnwood avenue; then to ! the lair grounds, with branches going ; to the Union Depot and the Charlotte, 1 Columbia & Augusta depot.

She lost her waterworks by ' the flood, and has been on short rations, but she has not wasted precious time in singing- the old refrain of "hard times", but has gone to work to repair damages. The county lias lost heavily by the floods. The Childs plantation and the Sccgcrs placc have both suffered by damage to crops, stock and machinery i The farmers of the country arc pcr; haps waking up to the fact that newspaper editors who advised them to : plant corn and raise meat at home, instead of trusting to Western corn fields and smoke-houses, were not I such fools, as some of the hornyj handed sons" supposed. The account I of your Dawkins correspondent puts I the farmers ot that section in a rather j pitiable plight, and the farmers of that | section are no worse than others. [Think of farmers being in danger of starvation, because railroad communication is cut oil ! Farmers in want, not of the luxuries of life, but for bread and meat; in want of the very articles whiJi they arc presumed to produce and furnish to other citizens j of the country. If these be "the bone I and sinew"' of our Southern country j God help it, for its sinews are made out of jelly and its bone composed of chalk. Let us hope that the"experiences of this year, with its floods and I storms and consequent disasters, will | be a lesson to them, and that in future j they will try to become independent j of railroad connections, ordisconnecj tions with "Western corncribs. The Executive Committee of the : Democratic party met on Tuesday. { The 4ih of August has been appointed i n< iho *l?iv fur flm Slate Convention. 1 The fanners' movement has made ; rapid strides in Laurens county.
