The labor organizations of New York, however they may disagree as j to other matters, are coming to the support of Mr. Henry George for mayor with a degree of acquiescence approaching unanimity. How Mr. George would succeed in managing a O W ; great executive trust can only be a matter of speculation until he has had , a chance to make the trial; but in intellectual force there is not one of the labor leaders who approaches him. Wiggins, the Canadian prophet, has j predicted dire results from an earth quake, which, according to Ijdm, will ; occur obout the 29th of this month. Wiggins is a crank of the first water. No man can foretell an earthquake nor even approximate its occurrence. He made his prediction, knewing that be could sell it to the papers on account of the recent disturbance. Xo one should be disturbed by his talk. It will not come, and if it does, Prof. Wiggins certainly knew nothing about it. The Chinese are retaliating upon J Americans for their treatment of Chi- j nese in this country. Several outrages j have been committed upon American citizens in China recently. The cry of the Pacific coast American is, "The Chinese must go;" so the Chinese echo, "The foreign devils must go." We may get mad and demand satisfaction, but the fact remains that the Chinaman has not received fair treatment in this country, and we could hardly expect anything else for the Americans in China. Oxe of the most cruel and long-continued Indian wars has, been recently closctS Scrotiimo, the chief of the Apaches, in Arizona, has waged incessant warfare against the Government ' t :? ?A i?:n Witn great crueuy?uurum^ ?uu aming wherever he could. He has finally been captured and by this time safely lodged in prison. These Indians have always stood in the way of development in Arizona, and their removal has relieved the inhabitants of constant fear and opened up a productive country for future settlement. Among the various reasons brought forward by the advocates of woman's rights, for the conferring of the right of ballot upon women, is that women will vote for prohibition. Everybody thought this was a fact until the recent election in Washington Territory disproved it. In that election the women were nearly equally divided on "whis key" or "no whiskey." Having the power to vote in that Territory it was expected that they would come forward in their might and forever down whiskey. Bat they didn't do it. The advocates must seek some other argument to further their cause. The marriage certificate of Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom states their respective ages to be 49 and 21, and inasmuch as the number 7 is esteemed particularly lucky, believers iu iu^/v aiv; uguimg vuu an iuj amount of it for the Presidential pair, because the bride's age is just 3 times 7, the groom's 7 times 7, and the diference between, 4 times 7. They might go on and show that the two ages make 10 times 7, the average age of the two o times 7, and the one multiplied by the other, 147 times 7; but it would hardly affect the amount of luck, after all. During the past vear there has been much discussion regarding the negro, his labor and his rights in the South. "Wise men have had much to say pro and con. As to his rights we believe | the negre enjoys every one enjoined ! by the constitution. He does in South i Carolina at any rate. He enjoys firstclass cars and other privileges not ; rtcnnllv in hie vnoo Ac ! his labor we think that the people of j the South should be satisfied. We j may have to watch him; wo may have j to make him work, but when he does j work he goes at it with a vim and does it up in first-class style under the dif" recting hand of the white man. The people of the Sooth enjoy peculiar blessings in being free from strikes, boycotts and various schemes resorted to by laborers at the North. * The negro never indulges in these things, j The following comment has been made by one of the Presidential party as to the ability ot the Chief Magis- j trate and his bride to engage in hunt-; ing and fishing excursions: He is a veritable Nimrod, and never j missed a shot. He is iust as rnnl and ! deliberate when a big deer comes; bounding toward him as if fishing for bass ?in fact he is the personification ; of nerve. He is also a scientific fish- > erman, and few can handle the rod or i reel as he does. He enters into the : sport whole-souled. Mrs. Cleveland, too, has a knack at trolling for pickerel j which is simply artistic; she is one of j cuc wvuicu >v uuiu jl iiuve iucl wiju ; know how to fisb.

An* attempt was recently made to | arrest some incoming Mormons in ; Voir Vni*L- Ttv,* mfiuiii nf tnmii tor* Villi- ! cality in the law they were released i and went on their way rejoicing. ! This Mormon business is one of the j foulest sores upon the body politic, ! and it is one that it seems we can j never cure. All religions are guar-; anteed bv the Constitution, but when- j ever any system goes beyond common morality, it ceases to be a religion, and should be unceremoniously stopped. Mormonism is just in this fix, and all ! efforts should be exerted by honest, j Virtuous Ciuzens ?Wj) II, as it is a system which makes every effort to proselyte. They have operated among the ignorant of this State with some success, and every patriotic citizen will strive to secure the day when it shall be wiped from the face of the earth. A leading exchange says: "ExPresident Arthur seems to -have de rived some benefit from his stay at New London. Mr. Sherman W. Knevals spent last Sunday with him. He says that Mr. Arthur's health is certainly no worse, and probably a little better, than when it was when he left Xew York. While he has lost flesh and is confined to the house most of the time, his appearance would scarcely lead one to think him a sick man. Ilis color is good, he sleeps well, has a good appetite, is in cneerful spirits, and keeps up his interest in affairs in general. It is improbable that he will pay any attention to business for some time to come, certainly not during next winter. His friends believe that he is in no immediate danger, though the exact nature of his illness is, even to them, somewhat of a mvstsry." A leading New York daily says* "If there is tiny cloud anywhere in the financial sky it manages very thoroughly to hide itself. There has been no hint of it in the week past. Trade is booming; merchants are crowded by custom, and manufactories are " t 1- ? J r J . driven 10 nil orucrs uuukl*u uu uwuuu. every man who wants work has it, and every dollar not locked up is showing an earning power. The farmers of the West and the South have crops that pay for the first time in years; the railroads in'all their history have never been exiled upon to handle such vast traffic. Illustrations of the increased earnings of the railroads of the country were given last week. The same state of things continues, with the one difference that the percentage of increase is even larger now than then. The result is unprecedented. The prosperity betokened in pvprv rHrprlinn." A T^wnncc exchange ? "The next war in Europe, come when it may, and it may begin any hour, will be of a destructive violence unknown up to this day. Every source of revenue has been strained, if not drained, for the martial effect. It would be idle to say that the world has not yet seen the like, because never'before has it had such destructive warlike means. j^urupe is a great military uauip. xlic chief Powers are armed to the teeth. It is the combination of general effort. It is not for parade or amusement. Enormous armies in the highest condition of discipline are armed to perfection, leaning on their muskets or bridle in hand, are waiting in camp and field for the signal to march against each other. A war in Europe settles only one thing definitely, and that is the necessity for auother war. The approaching war may do more?it may settle those who are chiefly en gaged in it. Tiie amoition ox Kings and emperors may thus lead in the end to their own overthrow and open the way for popular progress." The Washington Star says that it is reported that Secretary Manning will go as minister to Austria instead of returning to the treasury department. lie has not fully recovered from his recent illness, and it is feared that to again undertake the duties of the* treasury department would be more than he could stand. It is thought that a sojourn in Austria would be very bencficial to his health, particularly as he would spend most of his time at Ilalle or Franzensbad, the famous health resorts which arc frequently visited by the crowned heads of Europe with benefit. Mr. Manning's physician, it is said, thinks he would recover his health quicker there than anywhere else, and the President has decided to make the appointment. A hint as to the appointment is said to have been made to Austria, and it was received wilh great favor. Mr. Manning is sure to be received with high distinction, both socially and officially, and the Austrian Government will be highly pleased with the appointment. Tains would be made to make up attentions to him for the rejection of Mr. Iveilev. The report has not been confimed. Judge Cotliian. From the latent telegraphic dispatches Judge Cothran has been elcct eel to Congress from his district by a most decided majority over all other candidates. Judge Cothran has not made a personal canvass of his district ?he has not solicited the votes of the people. His friends brought him out for the position and he has swept everything before him. In going to Congress, the people have gained an excellent representasenlative?one who wiil always look to the best interests of his native State. His opponents were men of sterling | qualities, who have alwavs served the j State in her time of trouble. It is no j disparagement to these gentlemen to 1 have been defeated by such a man. I lie stands head and shoulders with j any man in the State. In his new j nr^i-i r----'?I-'I.-I-.I mm sphere of action Judge Cothran has c t!ie best v.'ishcs of the bench and bar jc of this State. His loss will be felt,1 upon the bench, but what is its Joss f will be the State's gain. \ ; ? - | s A Life-Lous Democrat. t ( At a meeting of the Thurinan Club ! t 1 , in Cincinnati, in response to a call, 1 ' ex-Senator Thurman spoke as follows: * My Young Friends: When I was a j boy at school many years ago, one of j ? me iexi-uouK.s jl siuuiuu was a. 1.4U.1111 . ^ one, ''Cicero on Old Age," and I re- j t member well, when I read that bean- ' . tiful treatise in which the author sets ! , forth in the most beautiful and im- ,; pressive manner that consummation ! < in old age which would in some degree jc be a compensation for the trials of!; youth, I wondered if that lot would j * ever be mine. Now, when I look ! ( down upon your heads and see your | bright faces, and know who you are j and what you are, I feel something of regret that the old author never liaci a i Ciceronian club to honor and console \ him in his old age, as you have mine. , I thank you, first, for the honor you ] have done an old man in taking his j name for your club, and, second, for ] the kindness you have manifested to- j ward me by your attendance to-night.

TrrJi'fnv s As :t trnnd m.'inv misstatements have been recently made regarding the agricultural department of the South Carolina College, I ask permission to give some idea of its scope and its work. My reason for doing so is the absence from the State of others better qualified than myself for the task. I shall speak only of what has been done, s'nee the work of the past has been al. .ged as proof of in f Vi o "fnf n .?a Sincc 1S82 there have been the following scientific chairs in the College: 1. Agriculture and Botany, under President McBride, whose work as a scientific experimentalist has attracted j attention in Europe as well as in j Atnei ica. 2. Geology, Physiology, Zoology, : etc., under Professor Woodrow, who ! has few equals as a scientist in the country. 3. Mathematics* pure and applied, i under Professor Sloan,a (.llslin^uishcil graduate of West Point and a most thorough instructor. 4. Chemistry, Mineralogy, etc., under Professor Burnev, a Pi). D. of Heidelberg, tinder Bunsen, ;i student of Paris, under Wurtz, and a fellow of Johns Hopkins. These gentlemen are competent to give instruction of the most thorough'kind. (Hereafter . there will be two more professors, Dr. Loughridge in agriculture, and Jtngiiieer McElroy, of the United States Xavv, who has equipped a school of practical mechanics, including lathework, planing, wood-work, iron-work, etc.) There arc in the entire College five four-year courses and as many twoyear courses. In cacli of these cliemistrv, botany, physics and Physiology have been taught, while geology and astronomy also enter into the longer courses. In three long courses and three short courses the study of agricultare is compulsory for one year, while in the technical agricultnaal course it is compulsory for two years, and agricultural chemistry for one more. In most of the Agricultural Colleges agriculture is taught one year; in the Mississippi College one year and a third. The South Carolina College therefore is more complete in this respect than many others. Since the reorganization of the College in 1882 an average of forty-three students a year have pursued the year's crtni-co in n?rrifnltnrf> What does the study of agricultme proper include? During the first year the following topics are discussed: Soils, organic and inorganic manures, grasses aud clovers, meadows and pastures, crops, rotation of crops, weeds noxious and innocuous, improvement of soils, farm implements and machinery, farm roads and buildings, domestic animals, etc. Second year?the students having been drilled in theoretical chemistry are put into the laboratory for work. Lectures are given on the chemical constituents of manures, theory of the action of manures and best methods of application, classification and improvement of soils, principles of breeding stock and feeding, laws of plant life and growth, analysis of soils, fertilizers, etc. The following are specimens of the j kinds of practice problems tnat nave been given out to the class from time to time: 1. '*At the present cost per ton of dried blood, cotton seed meal, stable : manure, nitrate of soda, etc., find; Tvhich is cheapest in proportion to the ! amount of nitrogen supplied." 2. "Given the market value of nitro- j gen, phosphoric, acid, etc., analyse I fertilizer, and determine its | market price per ton." 3. Two years ago when Furman's | formula was published the class was i required to calculate the market value i of a ton of his compost. ?. A company having offered to exchange 1,000 pounds of cotton seed meal for one ton 'of seed, the class made a comparison of values and found that the offer was advantageous, j 5. Another published offer was to give 3 tons of acid phosphate, 2 tons of cotton seed meal and 1 ton of kainit j for 12 tons of cotton seed. Calculation showed that under the first table i ol values used in South Carolina the offer was not advantageous, but that under the table now ruling in this A-*utrtAi* nrAnl/1 rroin Kt' tlia !

Such problems as the last are based 011 tables tested for thirty years in German v. showing the relative amounts i j Ni l . *mmj jT^" 'jl^n'nViii'juiiu >f albuminoids, fats and carbohylrai.es required to keep live stock at est, or at work, or fattening. The lull course of chemistry lasts 'our years, and includes quantitative Dialysis of soils, fertilizers, etc. A iiudent has stepped from the laboraorv right into a good position in the )fFice of a leading chemist in Charlesou. Others have made analyses for "prtiHyfM- fnmiviitins nwl nov 'or them. This is an evidence of good vork. ]>otany is much neglected in the south, but in the College it is made >ractical. Daring the latter part of lie course, the student is required to malysc and name unknown plants and veed>. Some students have made several hundred analyses each, and are jood practical botanists. The analysis ot seeds is also required. ?o many seeds are adulterated nowa lays ttiac it is very important to test he purity of the sample in order to cuow how much to plant to the acre. But I cannot elaborate further. Besides class room work President McBryde has conducted on an average )ne hundred and fifty experiments a pear in cotton, grains, grasses, &c. Much material has been accumulated, but in order to secure accuracy, he t?as preferred to wait for the results of three years continued experiments in iluplicate, changing the plots each rear to get rid of any effect from dif tereiice in soil, ?fcc. In cotton, for instance, every plot is measured mathematically?two plots ire given to cach kind of seed. The number of plants are counted, allowance is made for missing hil}s, the average is then corrected and compared for several years, and the general average is thus secured. I will merely mention that a three gears'series of experiments in cotton shows that one well-known brand has uniformly showed a superior yield of lint, averaging about forty pounds of lint for every fifteen hundred pounds -A* .1 * _ _ f 1 -1 3 [>i seeci. u.i a crop oi six nuuurea thousand bales in this State this would make a gain of forty-eight thousand bales over the yield of other seed, which, at nine cents, would give an increased value of two million dollars a, year to the cotton product of the State. The above is some of the work President McBryde has been doing, although not a cent has been given to him for experimentation. lie has to eke out a small sum by reducing other expenses. He has been making bricks and supplying his own straw. Last year, despite the drought, the farm averaged nearly a bale to the acre. The Legislature, last year, refused to give $2,000 to equip the experimental farm. Give President McBryde a few thousand dollars and he will accomplish results that will attract wiob spread attention, and greatly improve farming. Some of the most captious critics of the agricultural department of the College are those who have persistently neglected or refused to accept invitations to inspect its work. When the Farmers' Convention met in Columbia in April the president of the College extended an invitation to the members to visit the institution and farm and see the work. The plats were all labeled. Persons were on hand to answer all questions. Yet. so far as I can learn, no one who denounced the College took the trouble to walk half a mile to satisfy himself t hat his charge was just. 1 say it not in spirit of boasting", but as merely a fact, that I know of no opponent of the College who speaks from personal observation, nor do I know any one who, having made an examination, has failed to mention it in terms of commendation.. le__ In a few weeks the College will be open. I know that President McBrydc will be most happy to welcome every visitor from Fairfield, and more especially a committee of inspection, appointed by the Farmers' Association of Fairfield county. I hope such a committee will come and see whether the trustees have so used the "farmers'" money as to defeat its objects. Certainly candid and just men will not censtirc without knowledge. Very truly, 11. Means Davis. A REJOINDER TO TILLMAN*. Major Ransom Gives His Opinion of tlie Agricultural Moses. Columbia, S. C., Sept. 1G, 18SG. To the Editor of the Sunday News: Mr. Tillmar. waxes -wrath v. He objects to "insinuations," "inuendoes," &c. Now, what he means by this is tint I said that a certain statement he was reported to have made was "untrue" and "unfair." Those are not very emphatic words, but to ears polite they convey no doubtful meaning. Mr. Tillman is, evidently, by nature a vcy obstinate man. and his head is so very hard that lie terms polite language "insinuations." Now, I wish to put the same idea in words that he is in the habit of using in order to bring their meaning down to the level of his comprehension. When he said that Prof. Joyties told him that the South Carolina College offered to make the analyses of fertilizers for the South Carolina department of agriculture for $5 each, in my opinion, he lied?1-i-e-d. No insinuation about that I hope, Benjamin? When he says that I am "Col. Butlers clerk, and the tail of the department of agriculture," he makes the only truthful statement that I have ever known him to be guilty of. The The department of agriculture needs no defence from one occupying so humble a position in it as I do, but I may be permitted to say that Mr. Tillman has never made a specific charge of neglect of duty a?ainst this department that has not been proven false, and if he will make any more specific charges of the same character I will prove that they are also false, or 1 will give up my "potatoes" and advocate his "principles." Will be do this? No. He will answer that he is a poor, persecuted, patriotic citizen, who is called a liar every time he says anything for the public good. And then hejvill go on and say that the public officials or oouin uaronna feel themselves above criticism, and then write a column or two about nothing in particular and everything in general, and wind up by claiming that he has proven everything and everybody corrupt, except B. R. Tillman, the sole survivor of the long list of honorable and patriotic men in South Carolina. Mr. Tiilman alludes to our past friendship. He might have left that out of his communication, in view of the fact that he has forgotten all the courtesies due from gentleman to another, if he ever knew them. He might have remembered that no journalist, in this State has said more complimentary things of him than 1 have, and none have been more willing to aid him in working for the good of the public. I have given him credit for honorable and unselfish motives, so long as I believed he was honorable and unselfish, and I have criticized him when I believed otherwise. It is no "prostitution of my position" to defend the work of a department in which I have been engaged for six years, and which I have hoped had accomplished some good for the State; neither was it a "prostitution of my position" to correct false statements regarding that work whenever and wherever made. I have done this, and this only, and Mr. Tillman's ob jections will not prevent it in the I future. A word of apology to the renders of | the Sunday Sabs'. .Mr: Tillman's swaggering bravado dt the conclusion of his letter is evidence enough to my mind that when he sees this communication he will "come back-'* with a lew columns 01 omingsgate. i regret j to be the cause of such an infliction upon your readers, but trust that they j will forgive me. As Mr. Tillman lives at a "remote j distance from railroads," and "only j gets his mail weekly," ho may not see j this. Wili you kindly mail him a copy : of the Sunday Xetvs containisur this letter, and mark it for me. L. A. HAKSOM. 1*OST-OFl'ICE A BUSES. Postmaster General \ lias Determined to j Correct the Evils, No Matter Who Suf- j fers Thereby. Washington, September 23.?The j investigation into the management of i the Philadelphia postoffice which is now proceeding will not be completed lor at least a week yet The commission, it is stated here, was instructed by Postmaster General Vilas to prepare for Philadelphia a postal service which will meet all the demands of j the citizens, and to report the fullest! facts i? the case, no matter who may ; be injured thereby. The Postmaster j f-lonpi'!!! c-iid tliflf nvnvirms nrlminitsfra- 1 tions had made a mark in the way of i increasing postal facilities, and lie i proposed to make his administration, | if possible, a kindly remembrance in the minds of the business men. The commission was instructed as one of its first points to notify Postmaster llarritv that he inu>t not remove any more employes unless for cause, or unless such removal should be recommended by the commission as a part of its work. The demoralization in the Philadelphia office was attributed to the rapid removals and to the fact of the uncertainty in the minds of the employe? of their terms of office, and the postal authorities thought that if the men could be assured of retention the service would be greatly improved. It is also stated that Mr. Harrity was advised that if he made any farther changes and incurred trouble thereby, lie would do so at his own peril. Information received here relative to the inspection is to the effect that many of the employes of the office have not, as most naturally would be the case, given that strict attention to their duties which they would otherwise have given had they not expected momentarily removal. It is also said that the number of removals made by Mr. Harrity since he has been in office will not amount to the figures which j have been given out semi-officially in Philadelpia to satisfy the demands of the Democrats for a sweeping out of the Republicans. The report of the commission will not be ready for at least two or three j weeks. It is believed they will re- j commend an increase in the number j of clerks. In fact this may be set down as a certainty. jtir. acotr, cmei 01 me department i of accounts and allowances, is expect- j ed to proceed to Philadelphia in a j few days. The commissioners have j not yet examined into the monetary j affairs of the Philadelphia office, and; have not touched the salary roll, j When they do Mr. Scott's services | will be called into requisition, and the j salaries will be graded according to i the merit of the employe*. This plan I was pursued in the Baltimore office j when it was remodeled a short time ' ago, and was fuund to work satisfactorily. The commission has not progressed fir enough in its labors as yet to get any detinue Hltra or The oi?v deHvery or the distribution department. The department of mails has 'been gone over, ami the statements of tue superintendents taken. The commissioners are not satisfied that they have reached the root of the evil in the office. The Postmaster General is in daily communication with the commission, and is directing- its movements. A Dollar Well Invested Builds a Church.
