The formal resignation of the Hon.

The women of Iowa have not yet

One John B. Mannix, a lawyer and

affair in Cincinnati, proved a defaulter
for $300,000, thus making confusion
worse contounded. Judge iioacly j

paid it in fall. A special says: "By J
doing this Mr. Hoadlv wrecks his for- i

in politics, and now, in his old age, he
gives away a fortune to pay for the

The news from Chicago indicates
that the great strike iu the packing
establishments has been practically
ended by the agreement of the workmen
to return to the ten-hour system.
Whatever may be said of the eighthour
movement by its advocates, it is
very plain that it cannot be enforced
in one place while the ten-hour system
is permitted elsewhere in rival establishments
engaged in the same business.
In this respect the Chicago

remarkable that they have won.
The statistics of passenger traffic on j
the New York elevated railroads reveal
how largely the life movement of the
metropolis has come tt> be dependent
on transportation facilities. For the !
year ending September 30 the total j
number of passengers carried was j .
115,109,000, an iucrease of 54,277,000 i ,
compared with 18S0. From Novem- i ,
ber 1 the fare on all lines is to bo only | five
cents. This must operate ro In-1,
crease me tramc sun iurtner. The ; |
increasing' means of travel throughout; ;
the country have been making fast the ! ]
growth of New York. The city is ;,
becoming more and more the metrop-; ]
olis of the country. This constant j ^
growth must before long compel an j ;
advance beyond the facilities provided (
by the elevated roads of to-day. j.

Last night a peep into Harris's un- j (
dertaking" shop, on the second floor of
which eighteen white members of 49 <
are lodged with their colored brother ; {
Farrellj" revealed a sight of trne social k
equality and enjoyment. 0::e young c
colored girl was playing on a meio- I
deon, while another, a member of the j
choir of John Jaspers church, was ^
singing a hymn. A small group of the
members of 49 sat around enjoying the ^
music, while one of the members was e
of! in a corner with a comely mulatto,
whose hands he held in his own as tiie
reporter entered. Just down the ladder
which led to the loft the incongruous
spectacle of a lon^ row of cheap
painted pine coffins reminded the
jovial party of the brevity and uncer- .
taintr of life.
Tiie "situation," so far as it concerns
the relations of the Republicans
and the Prohibitionists seems to be
simply thi>: The latter insist upon
legislation prohibiting the sale of
liquor and the enforcement of the law ,
when it shall be enacted. They want
the Republicans to declare whether or
not tliey agree with them 0:1 this subject.
The Republicans are afraid to
answer, and the Prohibitionists reply: j
"Well, we will oppose you, even if
our opposition shall benefit the I)emocratic
party, unless you come to our
doctrine." Therefore the Republicans :
abuse the Prohibitionists, and point to
their own sham record they have made
111 Maine as proof that they are friends :
of temperance. The Prohibitionists :
simply insist 011 fighting their fight
and on bein?r 110 longer the victims of
deceit and hypocrisy.
At the meeting of the South Carolina
Synod at Che raw last week the
W'oodrow matter was thoroughly discussed
and a resolution was offered
by Dr. Girardeau and adopted by the |
Synod calling upon Dr. Wood row to
resign his position as professor in the .
Seminary. The majority report of the i
committee recommended that if the
report should be adopted that he be I
requested to ro. ign by telegram. Im- ;
tnediateiv after its adoption a telegram !
was forwarded to him. Alter ;i few j
hours7 consideration, uc amvcrcci mat i
under the circumstances lie cuukl not j

ceived a resoiuiion wa< passed by -the !
Synod to the effect that with the c-?n-,
enrrence of the other Synods, the
board of directors of ;he Seminary j
request him to resign, and it' he fail !o I
do so the bcurd declare the professor- i
ship vacant. The Church is dealing
with a brainy man, who is backed by :
some of the ablest men of the Church, I
consequently the result of the whole ;

The Augusta Chronicle remarks
that the more small industries are
established in a town the more money
is saved at home. The more money a
people save domestically the more
prosperous their community becomes.
With a ?e\v exceptions, we arc dependent
upon East and West for everything
we eat, wear and use. East and
West benefit by our neglect ot home
industries. This should be remedied.
There is only one way lo correct such
an outflow of money, and that is to
make at home what we have been purchasing
abroad. It will be a long time
before we can be independent in all
things. We may never reach that
plane. But there are many wares now
brought from other sections that we
could manufacture right on the spot
^^2. Xbe introduction ot ?mnu ii?PRtl-io&
wouid mean not only CTTC""
saving of much money, but the employment
of many people. It would
mean a prosperity that did not begin
and end with a brief cotton season,
but an all the year round profitable
trade.
Henry George, now a candidate
for Mayor of New York, was born in
Philadelphia, September 2, 1S39. An
office boy at the age of fourteen, he
wearied of running errands and dusting
desks and soon left the mercantile
business to go to sea, where the drudgery
wa? even worse. After a brief typesetting
experience in 1855 he again
sought a sailor's berth, but two years
Inter landed in San Francisco, where
he married and became a journeyman
printer. He passed through the varied
experiences of reporter and editor,
losing his position finally because of
his radical anti-monopolistic views,
but through the aid of friends founding
the San Francisco Post, which he
managed until 1875. In 1879 his
strongest work, ''Progress and Poverty,was
published, and the theories
therein advanced, as well as the brilliancy
of their advancement, brought
his name at once into national fame.
A Republican at heart he went with
Greeley in 1872, and has since naturally
remained where the shock of that battle
left him. He has had a varied ex- j
rxmence horn and abroad, all of which !
has been turned to account 111 the many
books he has written.
The Rain of Science.
It is easy enough to raise a storm if
one is so disposed. Indeed, some
natures are so tempestuous as to render
calm and sunshine very difficult to
maintain for any length of time in
their presence. There are domestic
storm-kings, and storm-queens also,
who are constantly disturbing the
peaceful elements of home life. In
who carry clouds and lightning .with
them wherever they go.
But all these atmospheric disturbers
must yield to ex-Judse Woodbridgc .
- ? i
Strong, of New Brunswick, who proposes
to raise rain-storms to order. ;
Ihe judicial mind has been for some ,
time pondering over the injury done j
by long-continued drought, and seeking
for u remedv. Mr. Stronsr has at
length reached the conclusion that tor- j (
rents of rain may be produced at will j .
by concussion in the clouds, and he i 3
proposes to send kegs of dynamite or 1
nitro-glvcerine "up in a balloon" to be j '
exploded by means of electricity j ^
imong the clouds. This he claims j ;
svill have the desired effect and pro- i ^
luce such a deluge that all the old j 'J
adies within reach of the storm will j
make . the venerable but wholly tin- t
founded assertion that "it is raining J
;ats and dogs."
Mr. Strong insists that if the Gov- c
?runient would take up his idea and c
send up the balloons we might be in- *
Impendent of almanacs, meteorological ,
>ureaus, charts and observers in the j
autre and dismiss the Clerk of the !
iVeather as summarily us we should |
vish. lie wishes the Government to ! li
stablish "grass-saving stations," as d
an accompaniment 10 me-saving sia- i
tious, ail over the country. t
li' Mr. Strong's idea proves practicable
he will be entitled to credit as a =
public benefactor. At the same time, ?
ii is easy to sec that his proposition t
may have its discouraging features, t
Under the present character of Gov- t
eminent appointments, notwithstand- j
Inir the theoretical triumph of Civil t
Service Reform, what guarantee is a
there that the keepers of rain-produc- v
in<r stations might not be "offensive 1
I
partsans" who would bring down a
deluge whenever the opposing politi- c
cal party held campaign meetings such r
as are now goin^ on in Maine? What.c
certainty is there that they might not ; {
be venal and corrupt officials, capable ; c
nf .irrrentinw novrentftcrps from nm- : i
" 1 o I- -o ? brella-makers
and India-rubber pat- :1
entecs to keep the streets of a great.
city like Xew York under perpetual j
drenching showers?
Despite these dangers, however, the j
idea might be utilized even beyond its ^
originator s conception, wnat a grana ;
thing il would be, for instance, for
Chicago to be able to stop a conflagra-j
tion or an Anarchist riot by opening j J
the cx-Judge's sluices and bringing j
down from the concussed clouds a;
deluge of rain that would speedily i<
quell the fury of the flames and dampen S1
the ardor of the dynamiters!
The Inspection or Kcrfil'iers. | ,
In the course of a speech at Aiken, j
Capt. I>. 11. Tillman made the follow- j
ing statement:
Prof. Joynes told me the South Car-!
olina College had offered to make
analyses of fertilizers for the Bureau .
of Agriculture, at live dollars per;'
brand or sample. j ]
Subsequently, Mr. Ransom, the chief !
clerk of the Bureau, stated, in a letter 1
to tiie Augusta Chronicle, that "no :1
such proposition was ever made to the ' 1
Bureau by t e authorities of the Col- \
lege". Mr. Tillman says that Col. j!
Butler, the Commissioner or Agncui-1?
i
ture, has twice asserted that "no such j proposition
was ever made".
Professor Joynes^ some weeks ago, j
wrote to Commissioner Butler, to the !(
efl'eet that he did not take the state- j1
raenl attributed to him bv C.-pt. Tillman.
*
In the Nexos and Courier of the
23rd inst., (Japt. Tillman makes a full ;
statement, covering the testimony of !
several persons. First is the following 1
letter: # 1
Colu.^ia, September 23, 1S86. 1
Mr. B. R. Tillman?Dear Sir: On
my return home after a considerable !
absence I have just seen your letter in (
the News and Courier of the 16th 111- I.
stant, and Major Ransom's replv !
thereto.
I regret to see that yon refer to our \
disagreement as a "question of veraci- j 1
ty." I had not so regarded it. I only j
supposed that you had probably con- j
founded information derived from ,
different sources. I now regret that; i
I did not say this in my note lo Col I,
Butler. I assure you I had 110 purpose :
of reflecting upon your integrity or J
good faith, and I much regret that I j
have been unintentionally placed in j i
this position. Yours, respectfully,
TKi>WAur> S. Joyyics.
(JaDt. Tiilman next' a'uofes7roin an
add re- s of President McBrvde before i
the Legislature, on the 12th December,J,
1882, in which that gentleman stated
that negotiations were then in j ro- ,
gre=;s, with a view to have the analyses ,
made in the College.
Next follows a letter from President (
McBryde to Capt. Tillman, enclosing
the following paper:
In the fall of 1S82, soon after the j
reorganization of the South Carolina
College, the trustees cf the University
appointed a committee of the faculty (
frv />AnfDr with tli* /?Ammiccmnop r\f I *
agriculture a.s to the best means of !
securing co-operation in the work and 1
management of the bureau of agriculture.
and the agricultural department j
of the College. This committee consisted
of DrsT Woodward and Burney,
with Prof. McBrvde, (then chairman 1
of the of the faculty,) as chairman. 1
The committee waited upon the commissioner
in November. In the coir- <
ferencc that followed the subject of '
co-operation was informally discussed.
The commissioner explained that dur- 5
ing the preceding years the analyses,
&c., required by his bureau had "been ^
made in Charleston, and had averaged '
about 300 annually, lie thought it |
probable, however, that the steadily 1
increasing demand for fertilizers in (
LiltJ OUIU*) LUiU, iiiau, iVl IICIC1 lUilliUiUUS
of tood products, waters, &c., would J
carry the number up to*400 or 500.
The couimitlcc stated, in reply, thai '
the authorities of the College were j
anxious to do everything in their {
power to advance the agricultural 1
interests of the State and that, to this
ciid, the College would undertake to c
make the analyses, tests, &c., ordered 1
by the bureau. The professor of nat-11
ural history, (Dr. Woodrow,) re- I
marked that he would cheerfully con- ?
tinue to determine for the bureau, free
of charge, unknown plants, minerals, ^
&c. The professor of agriculture, c
(Dr. McBrydc,) offered to test 011 the c
College farm, on the same terms, any
varieties of seeds, plants, fertilizers,
&c.,-sent to the bureau for trial or
distribution, and to furnish the results
of the experimental work carried on r
bv his department for publication in }
the annual reports of the commis- c
sioner. As to the chemical determinations,
the committee assured the com- a
missioner that the only charge made c
would be a sum sufficient to cover cost j r
of chemicals and the salaries of the j
chemists required for the work. They '
were of the opinion that the professor 1
of chemistry, with the aid of two or rJ
three assistants, could make the j t
analyses, &c., and that these assistants t
could be cheaply furnished by the'
College from the resident post-graduate r
students of chemistry. They added I
further, that should the estimate of a
the commissioner prove correct and j
the number of analyses reach 500, aj
charge of about So for each would j =
imount to $2,500. a sum possibly suf- j v
'icienc to meet all chanres, including a i v
modest compensation to the professor ; ^
:>f chemistry for his additional labor, j
Xo written record was made of the | _
proceeding's of the conference, or ofjh
iny of ihe propositions discussed, and j c
it was, of course, understood on botk ' -D
sides that any action reached would ;
lecessarily require the approval of the {c
joard of trustees and board of agricul- i a
.uit:. J.J1U WUJiJiiddiuuci [Ji vimocu | r

Capt. Tillman farther shows that in i]S
lis message to the Legislature, of i In
[ate 29th November, 1882, Governor 'It
MA29I BnvaMHBSHKBaDHl
lagood, in speaking of the Agricul- ;
ural Scrip, said:
Not only should the opportunity be ;

are now in progress between the j
state bureau of agriculture and the
igricultural department of the College
vhich wil:, if perfected, tend largely j
o bring about this most desirable
esnlt. In order to secure harmony of
mrpose and union and concentration !
?f efi'ort the two departments will be |
nade to mutually assist and strenghten j

,vili make the analyses, researches and |
jractical tests required by the bureau
)f agriculture, and the results will be
liven to the public in the occasional
bulletins 01 the commissioner 01 agn- i

It is but fair to Capt. Tillman, how- j
jver much we dislike his peculiar
nodes of procedure, to say ihat the ;
evidence he thus adduces exonerates
litn from anything like untruth, or
sven indiscretion, in stating that the 1
College professors had offered to |
uialvze fertilizers for about five dolars
per brand.
And it is now in order for the JJoard j

A LETTER FROM HIJCKHE ID.
1 Suggestion *>f Interest to All True Southerners !
terns of Local >"eivs.
Bl'CKiikao, b. C., October 19,1SSG. ?
L wish to call the attention of our
oeoule to the frccdciu with which the
statesmen and soldiers of the Confederacy
are assailed by such epithets as
"rebels," "insurgents," "conspirators,"
in the histories that have been
published since the war, and which
irn studied by the Southern youth of
to-day. Ought these thing so to be?
Justice to our statesmen and those who
followed Lee and Jackson to an '-immortality
of fame" requires that their
descendants should be taught that the
;ause fur which they gave their ali,
was constitutionally right. Though
overpowered by the overwhelming
numbers and resources of the North,
yet we can and do exclaim?"All lost
save honor!" In the language of llie
eloquent Rev. J. Win. Jones, D. D.,
of Richmond, Va., "Let my tongue
cleave to the roof of m> mouth, niV
lips refuse to do their office, my right
band forget her canning, when 1 fail
on all proper occasions and in all
proper ways to maintain that those
who wprfi our leaders, our comrades
in defense of the land that gave us
birth, were not 'traitors' or'conspirators',
but as true patriots, as noble
heroes, as devoted ,defend"ers of constitutional
freedom, as the world ever
-aw, from Marathon and Thermopyl
to Bunker Hill and Yorktown, to
Manassas and Appomattox." Reading
the "Illustrated Universal History,"
by Prof. Israel Smith Clare, has
evoked these thoughts <J. t h o y
will not "down at my fndding/1'' L1
have, in my poor way, given you the
benefit of them?trusting that some
abler pen will take up the pleasing
task of setting our Confederate struggle
right "before the bar of history."?
[ have not forgotten Stephens's History
Dr Davis's Rise and Fall of the Southern
Confederacy, but I am under the
impression that works of Northern
historians are used in the public schools.
Could you not reproduce in y our
lolumns some of the sketches of Dr.
J. Wm. Jones? They are full of instruction
as well as thrillin<r interest i
for those who love the Lost (Jause.
We rejoice in the success of our
farmer Senator in raising corn, and
lope farmers of his prominence will
follow his example. Then we will
aear less about "hard times" and "no
noney in farming."
Crops generally are very poor in
>ur community. Cotton opens slowly
md l??htly. The weather is beautiful,
jut rather dry for our farmers who
ire wishing to sow grain.
Our much-esteemed neighbor Mrs.
Liidd has a patch of corn too. From
-*rrr\ niid n Knlf aP nnlon/l
.W\s auu uaiJL avicc \jjl
she gathered 251 bundles of fodder
nid three and a half wagon-loads of
;or?. Don't you think she deserves
he prize as the best woman farmer?
Her orchard has already been described
by "Farmer John." If only her
spirit of energy and perseverance could
jc infused into all of Fairfield's sons
md daughters, we might indeed find
hat there's life in the old land yet.
The Rev. R. It. Vann has accepted a
:all to a church in the lower country,
vhich leaves Rock Creek without a
jastor. The congregation regret to j
uiro wua mill, xiis jauuis as pasiui
md teacher were much appreciated.
kVe know not yet on whom his mautle
vill lall, but trust that like Elijah of
>M, it may be on an Elislia "woribv
)f his high calling." n'importe.
WHY JFJ.RVISG DOES XOT PAY.
Messrs. Editors: I have read with
nuch interest the items recently pubished
in your paper on farming; its I
:vils and why it does not pay. It is
hi evident fact that the present system
>f fanning practiced by the majority
>f farmers is a bad one. The case has
>een properly diagnosed, but what the
cmedy is, who can tell? Is Mr. B. 11.
Dillraanthc family physician? It so, j
ie has most certainly failed to give |
he required dose. If you will allow I
ne, I will prescribe a remedy which j
think will be a sovereign panacea for
,11 the ills that attend farming-.
Take industry and perseverance as
aides, economy as a family watch-1
srord, and cultivate a cheerful spirit
nth the knowledge that your reward !
or self-denial will basure.
The prevailing evil with the farmer :
; Ihe planting of his almost entire ;
rop in cotton. He does this with the j
elief that if he fails to make a large 1
rop he cannot pay his indebtedness,;
nd the result will be bankruptcy and j
uin.
This is one of the grandest mistakes
ver made. Why is it the farmer is j
impelled to raise cotton? The an-1
ever is indeed a simple one. Because j
e raises nothing that is consumed on
; ,
is farm, it being cheaper to borrow j
toney at a high rn'e of interest, and j
ay his corn, bacon and flour in the !.
orthwest, than it is to raise it at ::
otne. Brother farmers, am I driving : ,
le nail too hard? Is lihis true or not? j'
i '
i
i
H
'iM
Tf flip furmpr would mntp hie farm !
self-sustaining (which every farmer Ti<
can do) the cotton crop would be a
secondary consideration, and what he
did produce would be money in his
pocket; having raised what he consumes
at homes he lias no pressing
need for money, and the result of such Lc
farming would be prosperity, happiness
and peace. !
In my belief the most efficient mode tfu
of farming is the intensive and diver- Q]'
fcllicu flails. ) iv/i i ustuun;, jjiutiL
six acres in cotton, ten in corn, two in
potatoes, two in peanuts (exclusive of e*t
a goodly acreage in wheat and oats) pa
to the one-horse farm, being a total
of tweiity acres, which if properly ma- s%
uared and cultivated will produce
more than fifty acres cultivated in the
ordinary way.
Some -ay \vc will legislate on this
question and in that way remedy the
li, iiiiu men ?iu I^I^U
supreme. This is the most hyperbolical
expression I ever heard. If the
farmers of ibis or any other country
expect the General Assemblv to make
i ,i . c Wli
laws to govern the private aflairs or $((
individuals, they will be worse disap- ozi
pointed than the superstitious were at
the result of Wiggins'* prediction of
the 29th ult.
The old adage is, "There is more in
the man than there is in the land".
This is certainly true! If we do not
help ourselves out of the mire whom
can we look to for help? (>ui't you 1
answer ibis question, Urol her Blair? Le
I will not attempt to discuss the P"
merits and demerits of the Lien Law. s-^
It is a question of too mueh impor- : ]
tai.ee and non-imi-ortance for an otdi- frs
nary man lo solve. Some people say Sts
simplify the laws so the tanner can
understand them better. I once thought
this inv.-elf, but 1 have arrived at the

PRESIDENT AMD SENATORS.
A Plain Statement in Explanation oi' an j ?
; IQi!
Interview?Current Sentiment in the
City of Charleston. ^ j
To the Editor of the Nee; York Or
World: You published on the 1st in- j fuj
stant a report of an interview with me i \,i
in-which it is mentioned that there ! na
was both pain and sorrow in Charles-j p0
ton at the failure of the President to
manifest any personal sympathy with ! or
our people in their misfortune, and j
that not a word had been heard from j
eitner 01 our senators. iiic inter-j
view is in most respects correctly re- j 31
ported, but I told your representative
that I would not say any thing tol* pub. | (
lication in relation to our public men j
and the earthquake, and it is annoying I
that he should so have misunderstood j
me as to give to the public the particular
things I most desired to keep; '
within the pale of private conversa
tion. In reply to a courteous question i i"
I described lo your represcnU'ive the ! da
sentiment which was current in | X(
Charleston at the time, without any j an
purpose of criticising or condemning j Li
anv one. On mv own account I said j St
ta.%. ' I G?
Lpon niy return to The city from l
New York I found that Gen>-rai llamp- j dc
ton about a month ago wrote to Mayor ' 'h'
Courtenay expressing in the most ap- j ot
propriate terms his sympathy with this j tin
people in the terrible calamity that had I
t'olinn nnnn thorn This h?ttr>r in fhft ! tic
enormous mass of correspondence at "P
the time, was not furnished lor publication
and was not made public until ;
October G, when I myself had the first ; he
knowledge of it. i
I should mention also that a most'
hearty letter of sy.-npathy has since ; ho
mv return to Charleston been received j thi
from Senator Butler, who was in j i"Europe
at time of the earthquake, and | a(1!
is uow on his way home. j .ll"
With all the facts before us it is evi- I In<
dent that the current sentiment in |
Charleston did the President as well | hy
as Senators Hampton and Duller seri- \ so
ous injustice, and I regret exceedingly ; a!1
that 1 should have been innocently the j en
occasion of causing to gentlemen who _ :
have always been true to our people i tl()
?and for whom I have the highest
regard?any shadow even of pain or j saj
annoyance. I am, yours obediently, ! sti

Westmoreland Bros.?Gentlemen: Iliave sli;
very thoroughly tested your Calisaya Ton- nil
ic, and do hut hesitate" to pronounce it a c0
most remedial agent. As a stomachic and j,,
general tonic it is unsurpassed. Foreliniinating
malarial poisons from the system t'u
and repairing their deleterious effects: for As
rebuilding, reinvigorating and giving tone en
to the system when reduced by protracted im
or severe t'evers or other debilitating causes. c0:
there is in my judgment no otiier prepira- ()f
tion in the whole field of medicines equal
to it- But especially is it useful in malarial
disorders, both as a curative and a
prophylactic. J. F. ENSOR, M. D. coi
Westmoreland's CaUsaya'Tonic will cure tio

fails. Get the genuine and take uo other.
