Several committee reports were made and adopted, among them being Mr. Colvin's resolution strongly endorsing tbe p-e sent Inter-State Commer': law and oppos- ( "ing the repeal of any of its provisions until j it -was clearly found opprec^ive of the rights IJ of the people or un just to the railroads. x The Grange adjoured (sine die on the t 2nd instant ^ The Agricultural and Mechanical Society. c (Columbia Kecord, February 2) t The Agricultural and Mechanical Society s of South Carolina assembled last night in c Agricultural Hall. The gathering tvas large and eminently typical, the gentlemen B ... . -*5rr resent being thoroughly identified vrith ic objects ar.d- aims or the Society. The meeting was called to order by Pres- !t lent Humbert %vho. in graceful language, 2fer;ed to the Society's condition, its past istcry, the troubles it had encountered and Y reatbered, and its- bright prospects. He it-lined the object of the Society, saying ^ bat its purpose iocluded the development w nd advancement of the interests of the .hole State-. He exhorted ail to turn their aces to the future and to lake no steps ? >ackward. It delighted him- to see the ? igorous spirit exhibited by the people of Columbia and said that the city would yet o ?e the manufacturing and commercial ii :entre of the South. The Secretary acd Treasurer presented f lis report, showinc a balance in the treasury || ,f $1,272. The following gentlemen were elected to nembership: W. A Ancn;m, Dr. Ii. F. ' Divyer. B.

Messrs. J. S. Richardson, John P. Thomas and J. Wash Watts weie appointed on this committee. Col. Tilman Watson suggested that- the Executive Committee placj the machinery department on an equal footing with other departments. Col. Thomas rose before the adjournment and said that it was a suggestive thouuhr that the Society was on the eve of attaining its majority. Organized iu the spring of 1SGS, it would soon be of age, measured by the well-known rule of law as applicable to individuals. He saw around him many, gray-headed and otherwise, who with him had stood by the cradle of the infant Hercules and helped to nourish him into life. In spite of the desire of the serpent of Radicalism to strangle the South Carolina babe' in it? weakness, it had lived, wa.ved stronger and stronger, and now it stood in the strength of manhood. The Society had passed through a trying ordeal, but it had survived air its troubles, and now it was moie flourishing than ever. In vi?w of its enlarged and representative membership, its wise management, its comprehensive aims," and its solid finances; ir view of the generous support it sets from all points of our territory, the State Agri cultuxiil and Mechanical Society was never before in such good condition or had finer prospects. Progress was the watchword, and President Humbert had suggested, the motto was "upward and ouwaid." The omens were all propitious. South Carolina had, S iid Col. Thomas, taken a new leaceof vigorous life. With its agriculture improved, its manufactures growing, and its trading facilities enlarging?and, above all, with its educational opportunities agricultural, mechanical and general, nobly augmented, There was reason why every man in the Society shall strive con ajnrito and con amove to make the next State Fair the best and the fairest the Society has vet realized. To this end, as oule of the first mi-nihorc nf thft Sflftipf.Y lift WOllld ftarilftStl V secoud the officers and invite the best eiforts of the membership of tire Society. Let the Society's standard be placed higher than ever before. The meeting then adjourned. The Executive Committe held a meeting immediately afterwards at which the committee of the Columbia Fair Association presented their suggestions, and after some discussion it was decided to leave the matter to a special committee to be hereafter appointed wi!h power to act.

Chronicle.) ^ sxeaieer Sax Martin, on* the Pakaxa i Ritee, September 3, 1887.?Five days 1 igo, just as your summer began to 'wane, ] md our spring to set in, we quitted < Montevideo in the beautiful bteamer ; "Farfaletta," and sped 60 miles across J the great bay which forms the mouth of ; the Bio de la Plata, to Buenos Ayres, ' the immense and magnificent capital of 1 the Argentine Bepublic, of which i^ter- j esting city I will give you some account ' in a future letter. Here, after a night ; and day, we take a larger steamer, the "San Martin," bound for Assuncion, the capital of Paraguay, 1,000 up the river, in the extreme heart of South America. First, as this mammoth river nears the sea, it is called the Bio de la Plata; a hundred miles farther up, it becomes the Parana; and finally it divides into two great streams, one keeping the name Parana, the other taking that of Paraguay. As wo steam, rather slowly, tip into the land of the monkey and boa constrictor, I seat myself on the deck of the "San Martin" to write you a letter. The first three days of our journey up the Parana are rather monotonous. The waters continue turbid and muddy, and the shores mostly barren and woodless, given up to huge herds of cattle which graze on the natural growth, and with but few signs of cultivation. We pass several flourishing towns, the most notable being Ecsario, recently and rapidly developed into a city of 00,000 inhabitants, many of them English, who have introduced modern comforts and the luxuries of civilization, gas, telegraph, telephones, tramways, <fcc., and founded a Protestant church. It is also the focus of the most extensive railroad system south ol tne istumus o: rauama, and the commcrcial centre of the surrounding country. There is a large foundry at Rosario, belonging to an American, besides two others, and factories, saw mills, breweries, hospitals, libraries and schools of note. The schools are under the direction of an American lady, who is appointed Superintendent of public instruction, was brought out by the Argentine Government, and receives a salary of .$3,000 a \ear, a bouse and perquisites. . The next city of importance is Parana, once the capital of the Argentine Republic. Its old government buildings, now coffee houses, stand out on the elevated ridge in showy array. On the opposite bank. 7 miles distant, can be seen Santa Fe (holy faith) one of the oldest towns on the Elver Plata, once a Jesuit centre. Further up the rive::, Bella Vista shines out, worthy of its name, where white houses and orange trees crown the high cliffy, which overlook the mighty river, whose grandeur and beauty now begin to strike the most casual observer. The glossy leaved orange groves incref.se, varied by a lighter foliage of water oak and willow, with a few picturesque palms here and there. The water seems to expand into a succession of limpid lakes, whose shores and islands mingle, with a continual change of scenery, as we glide along our tranquil course, now and then meating various craft and sails. The fifth morning of our voyage finds us before the quaint old Spanish town of Corrientes, settled in 1588 by the I planting of the Holy Cross of the Jesuits. | It presents a charming picture as we ap A. T J J. ~ C proacn, me steeples auu wwera ua lu?j four churches and the columns of public buildings glistening under the dazzling rays of a South American sun. Corrientes was formerly a Jesuit stronghold, and relics of that fearless and indefatigable sect are still pointed out. The macsive doors of the "Madriz" were carvcd by the friars out of hard Paraguayan wood, nearly three hundred years ago, and are, even now, as solid and 1 .d as iron. There are also an organ and altar ornaments made by tiie some friars. This city is 852 miles from Baenos Ayres, and receives its name from the many currents uniting here. Even at this great clistancc from its mouth, this immense river is said to be three miles wide. To the right we now leave the Parana, i which extends to the shores of Brazil, j while we pursue the Paraguay, it noble I flnrl bpant.ifnl stream. Here wft be&in to i note a decided change in scenery wrought by our 900 ihiles voyage from south to noith, and a nearer approach to the ; tropics. On the eastern shore we behold the dense cool forests of Paraguay, with its woods of brushy, outspreading branches, variegated with sparing foliage of lighter hue, and pink blooming trees ! (La Bracho) and the yellow Quabracho whose hard wood never rots. There are guavas and bamboos, and exquisite pampas grasses covered with thousands of feathery blooms, and palms and palmettos and plantains. The western shore, which presents a striking contrast, is bordered by low bushes and abundant grasses, for here stretches back for hundreds of miles from the water's edge, to the great Andes cordillera, the "Grand. Cbaco," the great unexplored region of South America, whose mysteries, from, the days of Solis, have baffled the most adventurous trav elers, and from wliose "undiscovered bourne" but few have returned. For the most part, the "Grand Chaco" is dense forest, bat, in the vicinity of great rivers, is low and swampy. Though nominally belonging, chiefly, to the Argentine Republic, it is still in possession of the native fierce tribes of Indians, as well as other native animals of all classes. However, I look in vain, for wild beasts and birds, monkeys and boa constrictors! I discover nothing more strange or formidable than slimy croco liles, which s'ip into their watery beds art we puff and steam along, and an occasion?.! wild bog (carpen chero). There are also immensely tall long-legged cranes posing on one leg against the waving green, with in^nt lookout for fisby food, and many flocks of wild ducks and other game, startled by our approacn. inousanas oi sleek cattle graze upon the abundant pasturage; and the scene is altogether one of peace and repoee, quite at variance -with my preconceived ideas. I long for the monkeys and anacondas and jaguars, but they will not come. To return to the eastern or Paraguayan, here I notice that apart from the magnificent display of orange groves, and occasional patches of corn, tobacco and sugar cane, there is little or no cultivation, though we pass many flourishing settlements. Foremost among the latter is the thriving town of Pillar, at present the entrance harbor of the b::ave little Republic of Paraguay, and which was. in Hjwh not far back. tliA rmlv rv-nnf of contact with the outer world permitted by the jealons policy of President Francia. Its clean, bright aspect gi >es a foretaste of the neatness peculiar' to Paraguayan villages and houses. On the bank we observe a machine for cutting and sawing the hard timber of the country, and lying by are two vessels, , built of and laden with the same timber, < ready for exportation. There are two j American families living at Pillar, en- t gaged in the cultivation of pineapples. i For 150 miles more we continue cur ? upstream way, with ever-increasing :inViillc ond rr~pa rrr n-\l LCI CO6J n uuutu j I I?t.? v.J-iVA ?4.CfaO0jr ? with, sad ruins and relics of the kte ] Brazilian war, passing in exciting par o- ( rama before ns, until we reach Villeha, r iamous for its orango groves, whose c I ) / | . 4 ?BMBMMB?

It is a feasant sight to see the fruit brought oil , K>ard by long files of lively, white clad, arefooted women, singing as they trip To nor orcmrr nlanks leading >Y CI O O JT shore, many of them bearing immense , >urdehs, and smoking large, rough made * :igars. Above Yilleta, we pass San [ Lntonio, beautifully located amongst ^ >range?, guanas and palms, about seven r. niles below Assuncion. San Antonio is S( loted 2s the settlement of an Amejican lolony, a company formed in Khode i< [slaud years ago, for introducing agri- e jultural and mechanical implements into k Paraguay, uader the auspices of Mr. v, Hopkins, U. S. Consul in 1854. The c jompany wr-s encouraged by President Lopez, and they were about to realize ^ in immense fortune for themselves, and P jonfer a boon upon Paraguay, when ? Lopez became jealous, and determined 13 to compel them to leave the country, ^ which he finally did, to their great dam- c age and suffering. They were obliged j. to claim the protection of Captain Page, t of the U. S. steamer, "Water Witch," then cruising in Paraguayan waters, t The ousted company requested the r U. S. Government to demand damages i for expulsion and losses. President 2 Buchanan sent out a minister and 21 i vessels of war to Assuncion, at a cost ox i millions, which, strange to say, ended 1 in ro redress. The prosecution of this 1 claim is still in progress, the present ] U. S. Minister having recently made two ; visits to Asst.ncion for the purpose of ! settling it, with good prospects of snc- j cess, and without further cost. As we lose sigh; of San Antonio, the- ( picturesque, well-wooded hill of Lam- , bari, on the water's edge, juts up ahead of us; its isolated position, in the midst of a level country, gives it the appearance of a veritable mountain in the distance. As we turn the sudden bend of the river around the Lambari, we emerge into a bay-like sheet of water, placid, 1 clear and glassy on the surface, and said to be of considerable depth, and before us lies the capital of Paraguay, "the garden of South America," whither I invite you to follow me in my next chapter of wanderings. b. c. e. 'GEORGE AM) M'GLY.W. They Disagree and May Srorsh Titiogs Between Them. n?vnm Mia Phi'adelnhia Times ) jS~i-:\v Yoek, Feb. 2.?The United Labor pariy will bold a national convention in ll.'is city in April. The cxact date is not fi.:ed, but it will probably be early in that month. There is a heap'of uncertainty in this matter, aud it iela*es to something mcc important, if not disrupting, than a question of time or place. Henry George and Fa.her HcGlyrm are out. Their difference is more than ooeof minor opinion. McGlynn is ccnvinccd that George is not a statesman, but a mwe politician. McGlynn is fi::ed in his judgment that the Labor party should, in its convention, name a wholly independent candidate for the Presidency. George is as earnestly bent on fusion with the Democracy, taking the free trade doctrine as a basis for the amalgamation. The estrangement between the two men is complete. McGl.vnn used to make George's ofiice his headquarters For a week he has kept awayfsom the place. Your correspondent asked him to what extent he and George were opposed as the proper policy for ihe Labor p?r,y. "We hold diametrical'y contrary views," said he. "I am as sure as I am of goiog to Heaven that the Labor perty will go to"destruction if it ]:oois with either of the old parlies, we nave an ?ssue ana oniy one. We have no business to attempt to tbiow the weight of the worlr'ngrren, as a body, for or against either free trade or protec, tion. That wo should turn aside from the straight path which George originally laid out' for us is preposterous. ' I shall advocate a separate independent candidate and campaign before tbyconversion, and I am hopeful that I shall carry the point. Mr. George will oppose mc, no doubt, and I'kely enough 11c fee's as coufideat as I do of carrying i.he convention." George said: "Fiee trade is going to be the gieat issue, and the L Jo or party coni; ^et along without taking it up. We should . be free traders; to a man, and, if we a?e. what is the use of running a separate mar: for President if we have the chance to vote for a free trader who might Le elected?" George is the most uncertain man with whom to have an interview. He will say a thing explicitly today, and deny every word of it tomorrow. Not long ago he told your correspondent ia so many words that the Labor party could not financially afford to maintain a Presidential campaign of its own; tnat there was no sense in the idea of a canvass that would necessary be hopeless, and that he was altogether and unchangeable agaiast such a thing. Wittr'n a few days he seemed to find it expedient to dicker with some of the managing politicians of the manairins: noliticlans of the great part:es and for a time he seemed to think that a fund for a labor campaico would be forthcoming. Theu he denied in print tbat he had said what he positively did say. Xow be has come around again (o his first proposition?that of fusion. This vacillation is said to have displea?.ed McGlynn very much and to have finally decided h*m to part company with Lis former colleague. John W. McMackin is lieutenant of George in the Labor party and chairman of its general committee. He te^s your correspondent that the threatened low in the Labor party convention will be averted by the nomination of Henry George for the Presidency, and on a platform in which Die free trade doctrine will not be avowed. That wiH remove, so he asserts, all the difference cow existing between George end 3IcGlynn. Adheients of McGlynn, however, declare that if George takes a nomination he will be called "upon to do so under a pledge of remaining in the field until election day. They surmise that he would accept the nomination, cany it part way through the canvass and then withdraw in favor of the Democratic candidate, provided this nominee stood on a clear free trade platform. In other words, although it may be an injustice to George, lie is accused" of planning to put his parly into a becoming shape for delivery under any favorable birga;n which he might be able to make. There ?"s considerable talk among lesser leaders of the Labor party of throwing Geo'ge overboard altogether and nominating McGlyrn for the Presidency. That begins to look like the strongest probability and it is pretty safe t^ predict that the fight in the convention will be between George and McGlynn for the nomination. A Town la the Hands of Rioters. Shenandoah, Pa., Feb. 3.?A tre.nendous riot broke out here tonight. When the miners in the collieries which recently lesumed operations quit work for the day, they were at'acked by crowds of" idle miners, principally Polandei', and were defended by the city police and officers of l the coal and iron police. In a few minutes the entire town was in possession of the . lioteis, and my number of broken heads and bruised bodies could be found. The < police were overrun by numbers. The 1 offices of two justices of the po ce were i wrecked and all the prisoners captured by ( the officeis were liberated. The sheriff has j sworn in three^Ire <x>mpanies as part of h'"s ; posse, and the oily authorities have passed ( an order for the enrollment of special officers. Nobody has bc;n killed so far as is L-nfv.vn althouijli nistols wer j used frcelv i ( by the mob. The crowd gathered so quickly at the ?irst sound of attack upon the miners that it is evident the affair wp- c premeditated. Tcmonow is looked for- ? ward !o with considerable anxiety. ?
