Ex-President Arthur died at his residence in New York on Thursday. He had been a sufferer for some time with a complication of diseases, but j the immediate cause of his death was ; cerebral apoplexy- While his admin- . istration as rresiueni wa> uui. u umi- . liant one, hi3 record was most excellent and his death will be regretted by I all men irrespective of party. Suita- ; ble honors were paid to his memory j by all the departments of the Govern- j ment. District Attornky Bkxson*, of Missouri, who was suspended a few weeks . ago by the President for taking a too j active part in the politics of his State, has been reinstated. The District j Attorney* addressed a letter to the Attorney General, setting forth the facts in the ease, which paper was submitted to the President. It appears that he did not allow his official duties to be neglected, and that he did not know that he was violating the spirit of the warning which was set forth in the address of the President some ! time before the election. In reinstat- j ing him the President addressed him a letter which was in substance "not guilty", but be more careful in the future. From the annual report of the Internal Revenue Bureau it seems that the consumption of the so-called luxuries, whiskey and tobacco, is largely on the iucrease. The number of gallons of whiskey used was 70,763,010, or about one and one-fifth gallons for every inhabitant. The consumption of beer reached the enormous quantity / vp aio nnr> nnn Taiinn? or about ten VI VZ-jVVVjWW gW*w*../j ? and three-fourth gallons per capita. There were 191,023,003 pounds of chewing and smoking tobacco used in the country, besides 59 cigars for each inhabitant. In order to see more: clearly what it costs the people, we have only to make a slight calculation ?supposing that cigars cost five cents each, cigarettes twenty cents'per package, tobacco one dollar per pound, beer five cents per glass, whiskey five cents per half gill, and it will be seen that our people spend annually for 4-UXV/ha AA AAIIA/) lrtvnMde fliA nnnrmAnc LUCOC lUAUtivo v*. 4?.*W sum ot $1,139,000,000, or about $20 for every inhabitant, or sufficient snru of money to give every inhabitant three barrels of flour annually and more. When we consider the fact that at least one-half of our population are women, who are for tue most part non-consnmers, and that one-ljaJf of - the male population are children under twelve years of age, and also nonconsumers, we find that if it is equally divided among the consumers, and all the remaining male population are consumers, that they each expend oKrtnf 43A r>oi? annum fhi? whiskov fllifl Ul/VUk Vvv ? .? *..vv(- T tobacco. The Aext Confess. It is now settled that the Democrats ; will hold their supremacy in the pop- j ular branch ofCougress. Their major-' ity is reduced from 45 to probably 17, j but it is enough for all practical purposes?certainly enough to make some trouble for the- Democrats in the Presidential struggle of 18SS. The Senate is certain to be very close between the two parties. The j present Senate stands 42 Republicans ' and 34 Democrats. The Democrats have gained Barbonr in place of j Mahone in Virginia, and they seem to : have the odds in their favor for the Legislatures of New Jersey, Indiana and California, which would make Democratic successors to Sewell, Harrison and Miller (now dead) all Republicans.

Report of the Citadel. Ex-Governor Hagood, chairman of j the Board of Visitors of the Citadel j Academy, has filed the report of thi*: board in the Governor's office at Columbia. It is a thorough review of! the workings of the Academy for the past vear, and one which 3s conclusive proof that the Academy is doing a good work for those who take advantage of the opportunities offered. The scholastic year 1SS-3-8G shows an at- ; tendance of sixty-eight beneficiary and forty-nine pay cadets. Of this number there were fifty-three graduates. The year 18-S6-S7 opened with one hundred and twelve cadets, only j five lass than the opening of the pre-, vious year. Of this number there are j sixty-two beneficiaries and fifty pay - ?

The average cost of maintenance per cadet remains the same as previous ' years- -$300. A deficit of $1,500 has i risen 1:1 the accounts of the Academy t>7.\ng to the reduction of the appropria! ion from $20,000 to $ls,o0u, and at tiie same time the maintenance of ? -*?i1 r%(* The building was damaged somewhat by the earthquake of August hi>* repairs have been made and everything : is progressing ue usual. The report concludes as follows, showing what ha- been done and what will be done: The Academy has now completed its course of reorganization. It lias met and overcome the many difficulties ; inseparable from the work, and has ! sent forth a class of graduates. This is the iargest m tiie History 01 ; the school, and compares favorably j with those that have preceded it. The system aimed at is, while not ignoring | the belles lettres, to give prominence j to mathematics and the sciences, and ! tints to secure an education which will I qualify the recipient generally for the J practical avocations of life. The restraints of military discipline jwotect the inexperience of the pupil and add the lesson of soldierly devotion to duty. In the past forty years more than 1,800 of the youth of the State have, to a greater or less degree, received their training within the walls of tha Academy. In ail the walks of life thev have found their work. As physicians, agriculturists and officers I of the State their record has been made. And when their Mother State threw down the gage of war in defer.ee of her sovereignty these children of her fostering care, without an exception that is known responded to her summons, and nearly one-fifth of their number died for her. Tho most eventful annals of Sotuh Carolina arc; in the period of which the life of the Academy has been contemporaneous. In this time of thought and action those whose minds and characters were formed under the teaching of the school have borne their part, . and whenever the loyalty of its history is told, its heroism, its fortitude under disaster, its broad and catholic accept ance of results, and its wise and masterly recuperation, the Military Academy claims for her sons at least an equal place with many who adorn the page. The Kichmond and I>anviIIe. The Richmond Dispatch says that for some time past the Kichmond & Dnnville Railroad Comoanv and the West Point Terminal Company?the former really the parent of the latterhave not been on the most affectionate >:erms possible, and there was fear that at the annual meeting of the Terminal Company, advertised to be held in the city of Richmond last week, a board wonld be elected hostile to the Dan 'i rru_ . rn vine. me i.CJillliiai vuujjwiii, uuiyever, met and adjourned for a week t;for want of a quorum." The people with big blocks of stock had absented themselves, and for a time there was some wonder as to the reason why. Before the dav was over, however, telegrams came pouring in from New York that the Logan interest, which had gained control of the Terminal, had also secured a majority of stock in the Danville. Thus the two interests were blended; thus was the speck of war dissipated. For Richmond people the news had a substantia', interest, ina smuch as j the niiimnm-pmi'iit H-IU that. t.Vtc new I purchasers of the IhinvillC \\ Cl'C A. S. I Sully, T. M. Logan and J. B. Face? "j tiir> rwr> ljif<or citizens of Richmond, i add in every way identified with that city, and having as their associates, it is said, Major JamesDooley and E. D. Christian. Mr. Sully is a railroad man who has made a grand mark in recent years and who distinguished himself for the ability which he displayed in the reorganization of the Reading Company. ftenera! Loir an. a native of South Carolina, but ever since the war a citizen of Virginia, was a Confederate Brigadier General at the age of twenty-one years. It was the brain and pluck ot Buford and Logan, and those who were then acting with them, that organized the Danville system: that made of a local road the great power that it is. In the crash of 1882, General Logan suffered terribly in fortune; but he kept on at work. Latterly he has made money again. It was his organization that got possession of the Terminal, and through it brought about last week's purchase. General Logan will now doubtless again come to the front in the active manaijemant of the Danville system. Mr. Pace is the wealthiest man in Richmond, and one of the richest in Virginia. lie is probably worth two millions of dollars, and is in the prime of life, full of "luck and pluck." He lias been a valuable citizen to Richmond, and is now in a position to be more valuable* than ever before. The Danville stock consists of 50,OoO shares ar. $100 each. Previous to the latest transfers the Logan party ad acquired, it is said, about 15,000 shares, but the Sc>tt syndicate held 25,000 shares in a solid block, and in>i.?h'd upo:? selling all or none. So Log:>?, Pace and Sally, and their associate?, whoever they are, agreed lo bay the 25,000 shares, for which they paid $230 a share, or $5,750,000. Thus ^ " -v- nr. : ) ^ the iMriviue aim uic xei unum uuuu together again in the elosest possible rei:it2o::S. The purchase insures the amalgamation of the stocks of the Richmond and Danville and Terminal Companies, and it is believed that one common stock will be issued for each. It also guarantees tho unification of the entire system (2,700 miles of track) and avoids disintergation, which was feared, and about which there was some danger if this purchase Had nor oecn made. It is now believed by some in good position to know, that the main office will be moved back from Washington to Kichmond. Colonel Buford, Mr. Pace and General Logan were all in Xew York lately, and it was not possible to ascer tain who are associated with Pace, Logan and Sulley in their purchase," but it is believed that they are backed by and associated with Northern men of great means, such as George Stone and the llockafelders. It is supposed that the new purchasers are friends of Colonel Buford, and that they will retain his valuable services in some high capacity. TIMELY TOFICS FOB FARMERS. ' ! f Messrs. Editors: In a late issue of t c Tiie Xews axd Herald I noticed | ^ some advice and comments on the best ! f - ' /*i mode of fanning, by two juveniles of1 ^ our vicinity. They said nothing as to , the best mode of improving our worn out farms. They have no experience j t iu that direction. This is the great J a desideratum of the day. The present i , system of all coll on is ruinous in the j t extreme, and ere long, if pursued, willI result in extreme want and abject ; ' poverty. Farmers say they must; [j pla t the principal portion of their , c iui ;xi9 in v-uiLun vi VCAW ?, wu* i supplies on credit or liens. If they Jj would sow in wheat and oats half their ? farms and plant the balance equally 111 j ( corn and cotton, they could curtail i t in supplies as well as in labor and work stock, and sow peas 011 their stubble lands also, to fertilize it in 5 plant food and humus or moisture for a flirt Ttioir ViOTrn fVnlrxl Sf> t to pay fur their indebtedness for supplies and labor and fertilizers, by the all-cotton system; then why not quit it? How* they can farm next year is an enigma that I am unable to solve. The merchants are unable to furnish them on credit, only in a few instances. If the banks do not loan them money ; all will go down together, as all are j dependent on the production of the I soil. ' | a Farmers, in order to improve their 1 lands, rented to tenants, should re- ^ quire in their contract the same system of improvement they adopt, if they adopt; the right one. They should be careful to rent to industrious and honest tenants, if they can find such. They should rent or lease their lands on five or ten years' time, so as to interest them in the improvement of their farms and buildings. These remarks are for the inexperienced, as the old need no advice. no mAnor mnf are, 1 hope you can spare a little to " buy my book. It is valuable not only ? for yourselves but your posterity.

We need rain to sow wheat and oats, j which are our main dependence for food next summer. Xow is the time to fill your gullies on your farms and build terraces to prevent the soil from running off into the valleys. w. e. j Lyles's Ford, November 15. "Why Farming Does 3fot Pay", Messrs. Editors: I saw in your issue < of a past date an article from one of 5 your Buckhead correspondents on s "Why farming does not pay", etc. i There are a good many reasons "why i farming docs not pay", but in the long < run if farming is systematically ar- 1 ranged it will pay. Mr. W. L. Jones i savs to brins? the matter clcarly before . the mind, let us suppose a case. If ( two hands can cultivate .?ay twenty ( acres in cotton land without fertilizer?, < yielding five hundred pounds of seed i cotton, and three hundred pounds of ( fertilizers yci uoiu .wm increase ti.o i yield to one thousand pounds of scSEI cotton per acrc?just donbio?the economy or profit or tbe matter turns . upon the relativQ cost of labor and j fertilizers. For if one hand with the i aid of fertilizers can make on ten i acres the same amount which two j furanl ,/ o/?i-A? <i i\h thr? i llclli It "> Vst&JJ V-711 Hf t ll t ? (Wi uuu vuw j fertilizers and its applications cost less < than the wages of the second hand, the '< difference goes to the side profit. So 1 does the decreased horse power and ( the decreased wear and tear of plows, etc. Xow a hand costs f.iom $125 to , $150 a year, and 3,COO pounds of fer- < tilizers (ten acres at 300 pounds per J acre) can be had anywhere tor sixty- , five dollars or less. In such a case \ j fertilizers would be cheaper than labor j , Qnrt miu-hf hp vei'v nrofitablv substi- I ; " ?- i- J tuted for It. Similar calculations may be made \ for lands of other degrees of natural j fertility and other increments of pro- ] ductions. I ain thoroughly satisfied ? that a much greater substitution of 3 fertilizers for labor may be profitably made than is now practiced. Large ( applications of commercial fertilizers { cannot be profitably made to poor lands all at once. Sound judgment \ must be exercised about the matter. ] Labor under the present condition ( pays less than any other outlay on the ( farm. If your Buckhead correspond- j cut will view the matter- closely he ( will find more causes besides raising j cotton that make farming unprofita- , ble. j Messrs. Editors, I do not hesitate to t tell the people or the world that the < farmer wh.> relies entirely, or to a ] large extent, upon negro labor will . lean on a broken stick. And that is , exactly what the most of us are doing, j and have been doing for a long time. t rr.- 1 to ? Mt,.h o XO lCUU UU 21 UlVhCll OtlV>IV lo iv/ uauvii u r fall. I feci very mre that few men 1 who employ the hireling colored man : ?by any increase of persuasion or j any exisfinr appliances?get out of j his labor as much work in six days of j the week as he would be fairly en- # titled to in four. How ma >v farmers { that are not depending ernirely upon them in ibis county? Can farming i t pay witli a loss ot'one-third in the | ( value of labor? I agree with "Plow-; , man" when he says: "I know that'jj provident care of the farm and what j is on ir, in all that natural and needful ( vigilance that the feeling of home and f iiome interests so naturally excite, arc tlitnortt rif thr> nast." He sees lis on ! T the downward grade and will lift his I t warning voice and call for substitutes | of white labor and machinery. That is all right, but why not apply the i question to us in direct terms, and thunder il along the line after the old ' post-oak" style? The most of our farmers are on the road to ruin, and "he ( that bclieveth not shall be damned." i "Unless you repent you snan nicewisc i j perish." ; f Can farming pay, and docs farming ! t pay? liow can a man make farming j ( pay when he eats and indulges him-1 s self three hundred and sixty-live days c iu a year and works only four or five t months?

What an 1 enormous income from one source. If I our farmers rai?ed their own supplies, I etc., what one business or pursuit o would make that amount of money in t< cash paid down? Why, it is an euor- r mous amount of wealth made by I Southern farmers, which increases in [ alue when it gets into the hands of j ommercial men and manufacturers. i Vhy. if we farmed and made our! arms self-sustaining, that is, making j >ur own supplies, etc., Southern farm-1 ng would be the most lucrative and j irosperous business in the land. True, we might not grow six million ! IlllUsUl COllUII U[UlUiUl>, 11 WC 1 tii3CU | .11 our supplies. But say we raised j .11 our supplies and made but .four j nilliun bales of cotton, so much the; setter; fur it would make as a more i. rospetous and wealthy class, for the J uoisey that our cotton brought would ; :o into the pockets ol the farmers,! ?id not into the pockets ot the iner- j hants who have to supply us with ! >ur >npj>!ies for man and beast, as has J een done for the last twenty years. I ["hat is exactly what has depressed j >outhern agriculture. Look at our i :i(ies and towns, how they have pros- ' >ered. They have been built up as ii >y magic for the last twenty years; .nd then look at our dilapidated and uti down farms, and ponder why it is o. The answer is simple. That is, ,11 the money that should have come o the farm and fanners for their coton, has gone to the merchants for eeding and clothing us, and enabling is to run our farms; and the merchants lave become rich and built up their ities and towns whilst the farmers, tave remained poor and depressed southern agriculture. Our impolitic aid short-sighted system in neglecting, o grow our supplies and make our arms self-sustaining anjl independent las been a great mistake which has >perated so disastrously to Southern arming and depressed us financially ls well as materially?which all are low being convinced of from what we ee and know. So why not change rom a system so long tried and has >roven so disastrously, and return to he good old way?the ruts our fathers raveled in, when you could go their arms and see full barns, smoke-houses, lomes of happiness and luxury. They :new nothing about bought and imjorted supplies. They were men of rnrd, common sense, and they farmed o make money by making their farms elf-sustaining, and they did it successully, and the farmers "of to-day must lo likewise or go to ruin. Let us go >ack to raising corn, wheat, oats, rye, :lover, cattle, hogs, and live off home iupplies and we will see the right kind >f progress made in Southern farming mrl this rienressed condition relieved. Messrs. Editors, as soon as I can find iine from my present urgent labors to jather as many peas as possible to 'make the connection with next year's spring collards:', I will write another irticle on farming, etc. Where is our iorrespondent, Sir.
