TiFk recent revelation of the Greenville Xetcs is getting decidedly mixed. It is now simple a question of veracity between the gentlemen concerned. liKKi/s absence from the House on Wednesday was the occassion of ai>]> ause. What a relief it must, have l>een to be rid of the tv rant even for a few days. Thk famous Lodge bill has been shelved. So this is to be one of the principal issues in the election of Representatives. The Democrats can well afford to go into tin* campaign on such an issue. Tim c m m spiii.tl mii ? !" the Gieenville writing from Iviuren*, s:i\s that of th:ii county want a primar> ?>r the Fourth District. We believe that Fairfield would unite with Lau:en> in itatM tiding a prim try. A XK<;iiO advised the Greenville Repub-ic:tn Convention to exclude every body out negroes from the party. Doubtless the personnel t?f the party w. uld be greatly improved. The bigge?t ras< al> in that party are while men. It is not too early to uiase preparations for the Farmer-' Institute. FairHeld must take off the promimn at the State Fair, but in order to do sj every one rnu-t feel a pride in his comity and CiDtribnte something to the Institute.

Kknnedy, of Ohio, in a long speech which he delivered from manuscript bitiei elusion ;e case je bill utly no ocratt a great Matt.' ^strict w* gf a Hr the recent zealous foi ^P^^^Womination of their man. Xow, however, all prejudice and bitter feeling must be put aside and a big majority?an unquestionable majority? rolled up for Johnstone. Thk ^election of Col. Coward a? superintendent of the Citadel is a wise one and an honor deserved by him. Col. Coward once poccessfu'lv managed the King'* Mountain Military School and won for if, in years ago, quite a reputation, and it is believed that under his administration the Citadel will continue to be an honor to the State. Jle is a polished scholar and po>se?M*s charac.eristica which fit him ^^^jg^suTn r J he head of the institution. !Ke Citadel is jjrowinsr in popularity Kl will daubtless he better patronized w thai) ever. It is a very deplorable that the two Eurtions of the Democratic party can't K:ct some settlement of the differences Which now divide the decent; white flcople f Fairfield County into two Jnrarring and bitter factions. It is It rue there are weighty legul differences which now severs the ties which should bind the Democratic party in this county, but, rather than cling to the nicety of a legal position, many meu on each side are willing to forego their convictions with the hope of restoring the harmony and peace of the party that once ruled with honor and unsevering integrity. The situation now, since the failure of the joint meeting of the committees appointed by the respective conventions, to arrive at any just ana equuaoie adjustment, is an exceedingly gloouiy one and must .be regretted by every conservative and patriotic man. Upon the committees depended a matter of stupendous impartaire?Hie supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon race with all of the solemnity that the expression carries with it. Without such a rule the future, without a single speculative ^ theory to the contrary, must be fraught with serious and utter ruin to the race which is justly entitled to the control of the government. Upon those who shall reject anything looking to a compromise must rest the responsibility of a complete metaphorphosis in our political bearing. This change in the ]>olitical atmosphere is a new one _ ? a- r*. ~ ~ to us auu 10 our people, it is a |?nenonienon to many of us. It is one that many of us cannot relish, and it is hoped that the matter will yet be settled. ?Farmers of the United States receive mere clear money from chickens and eggs than from any other one source, and it is a fact that Ganter's chicken cholera cure is daily adding- to thai revenue.

Esti- J mating at $40 a bale the crop reprc- J pen*- ? value of $31.3.000,490. In this i contn?:'ion it tnav be -?t in(er?*.-t I?? ! recall that jn^t one hundred \ ears ago, i 1790, Thos. Slater, an En<?li>hin:ii:, j ! founded the cotton inuntifacMirinij 111j dustrv in this country by building a j mill at Pawtuckel with three carding michines and 72 spindles. At that date thi? wa? perhap* the only cotton mill in this country, ami in the same\ear the fir-t su?*ce?sfu! crop in South Carolina was ma le by William Ediott on his farm at Hilton II- ad. Ei?ht>-oue ' h.ilos were exported to England in j 1790. Six \ears previous 1781, *-i?ht ! ba?r< ?f cotion shipped to England j were se'z-d, on the ground that *o i inn:h cotton could not be produced in (he Unitc-d States. Of the 7,311,322 ba'es raised 3,000.000 are spun in this countn, <>f which on.y 54G.363 aie CoiiMiwd by Southern mil s. A l.iftle Mope T"?u??. i it w }?. Imnr-il that some adiust " " " ~"* ""l | merit may be arrived at whereby the divided Democracy of the county may come together and harmony be restored once more. There is evidently an earnest desire on the part of the conservative thinking men on l>ofh sides to have the breach healed and the white people all brought under one acknowledged head. This can be done if a spirit of urn u:il concession be brought to bear bv both sides. While (he | recent conference committees may not j have been able to settle the differences j we feel assured that if time is allowed j for the feelings engendered iu the hot campaign through which we have passed to cool oft' tome plan will be formed whereby the factions may be brought together. This can be given | :f the primaries are postponed, j The State issue will very soon be eliminated ami as the present complications have grown out of differences in regard to that part of the campaign, with a little time for reflection and cooling off, we believe we will come together. The general election is sixty days oft", so that there is no necessity for hastening the primaries. AVe hope the Executive Committee, which meets to-day, will postpone the primary and give the party time to unite. This we , believe is desired by the rank and file of each faction. Two Hard Lick# at Cotton Farmer*. I Ii rraMy serins tiiat the Republican ui 0<>iiiy >" Cousri-ss is determined to do what it can to oppress the Southern cotton farmer in the way of pass1 ing laws discriminating against him. ' Cotton tics are used exclusively by ' - iimer.? ami any measure increasing the cost of this aiiit.-.'o fall directly upon that class. During ' " !.? .... il>a liju ICUCiit ucuaic iu mi; ucuait vu lut ' tariff on ties Senator Butler developed : the fact that the new tariff bill will in' urease the cost of cotton tits .$'lt0">0,000. That is to say the ties used to pack the cotton crop, after the passage of the bill, will cost the cotton r fanners over a million dollars more I ihav lor tue preceding crop. The L Sena/.or also expo.M:d the fact that this . increase in the t?.< collected on th;.s itom ffiij mad* 1?\ ili?* r.iinniitff-P with . out a single petit ion <>r request from . anybody.. There was no demand for the increase because no tie- are manufactured in this country and theic are no infant factories to protect. This is a gratuitous act on the part of .he Republican Committe to oppress one of the most important agricultural pur1 suits in the country. The Government ! docs not need the increase in revenue so there is not iwn that exen-e lor it. Tlie tax will amount to prohioitiou and it is tor the purpose, pet haps, of , inducing Americano to niunufaciure tits that the tax is put on, and the i;uuun piumi'i uiu\ uc : fronted by a cotton-tic trust as graspinof a> t lie jure trust. Again, the passage of the compound laid bill is a direct thrust ai the cotton rai-er. Within the ks; lew \ears it ha> become known that cotton seed oil is valuable as a substitute for hog lard in the manufacture of which it is extensively u*ed. CVrtihcstes from some ol the most t mineut physicians have been given to show that cotton seed oil is the most wholesome of ail vegetable oils, being an exc-llent article of food. But this oil has come in competition with hog lard and something must be done, so the Republicans say, protect the hog raisers, and the compound lard bill has b^en trnmpcd up for this purpose, and what has become a lucrative business in the South must be prohibited lo keep alive the comparatively few hng meit; and cotton seed, a large product of the Southern farm, will be largely reduced in value. But this is no! all. The reason hog raiting has become unprofitable is be cau>t the hi^h tariff laws of these same liepublicaus have caused some of the J European countries to pass retaliatory law* which prohibit the importation oi American h'?g products. This of course reduces the cleman.l for ho# lard and cotton seed oil lard is now to be driven out to create a home m trket for the product of the hojj raisers. Allowing the cotton crop of the Southern States to be seven million oaies wun iweiuy mjvcii uusuets u iue bale, 1S9,003,00<> bushels of col ton seed will be m ;de. The passage ot the compound lard bill will reduce the price of seed at least live cents per bushel and the loss to the fanners will be $9,453,000 To this aid the increased tax on ties and we (iud that the*e two bill* will c ?st the cotton planters ten and a halt'million dollars. L?t us see what is the effect in Fa:r neld. There ai e uDoui ou,i>vu Dales or cotton raised in the county. O.i this the inrreuse in the c.>tton-tie tax will be $4,500 aud the depreciation of iced iu consequence of the compound lard bill, is $45,OX', the two aggregating ?49,">f'0 or more than the whole Stntc and comijy and school laxcfe.

I Although the afternoon was threaten I ing, ami bespoke of disappointments, | tlie earliest breeze of the night cleared the sky of every cloud and allowed the morn to present its undivided brilliancy. A goodly number were present, and came doubtless anticipating a good time, and it may be said that their expectations were more than accomplished. The usual innocent and refreshing plays, such aschristofocation, the llaleigh trip, etc., were indulged in until a late hour. Refreshments were served during the night.

The cotton season is now open, and picking is in full progress. Several bales have been sold from this section, and it continues to open rapidly, though the weather for the past week lias been sulky with daily showers. It is believed the cotton crop will be an average. Pea vines are very vigorous, but whether they will yiel I well is doubted From the report of one of our neighbors, his potato crop is something remarkable.

Eveiy South Caiolinian of the white race owes to Wade Hampton a debt of giatitude for his triumph under Gud over the Radicals in 137G, and for his heroism in tl.e civil war, and for his faithful services in the United States Senate. Is there a South Carolinian that ever cm forget him? When that debt is forgotten, shame be Jo South Carolina! Fairfield's gallant son, John Bratton, has proved himself a statesman, and worthy of I he highest office in the Slate, though he may be defeated. ' Truth c u-hed to eaith shall rise again, The eternal years of Uou are her's; While error wounded v\ 1 it-lies in pain And dies among her worshippers." TIA PTE MSGS AUOUT STKOTIIEJt. J fexsn. Edit or a: Jn the quitude of early morning; we feel an irresistible impulse to dot down a few items. We have had frequent and copious rains, and farmers apprehend rust in their cotton, and it has actually appeared in many places, but we hope the plant i> not seriously injured. On Wednesday night we were visited by a furious rain and wind storm. We were forcibly reminded of the cyclone. No damage was done, except the injury to the open cotton which was blown out to a considerable extent. There art many cases of malaria troubles in our section, but not many fatal so far. "We wish to record the death of Jim Brown, colored, the most faithful hand of Mr. George B. Pearson. For fidelity to duty, energy and devotion to his employer's interest, he was an exception to his race. lie died of congestion, and was a great sufferer. Peace to his ashes. The political excitement has subsided to a great extent, but we fear it has left wounds which it will take time to heal. Wc Brattonitcs and Karleites must submit to the inevitable, and accept our defeat with dignity. I Some one of your correspondents 1 .A,l A11 nlonf otul ilUVIfCU till IV J7JU.A1C UUlll|/0; UUU ll V/ think that advice was followed by the generality of our neighbors. There was a general failure of gardens during the drought. We note an exception, viz., that of Mr. .Taines 1. Long. AVe verily believe lie could furnish the neighbo hood with cabbage, beans, etc. Ilis garden presents the aspect of June rather than September. Master Frank Fant has returned to to Spartanburg, lie made many friends during his sojourn in Fairlield, j and is kindly remembered by all. The Misses Pearson will soon return j to jjicnmonu to scnooi. I Miss Louric lrby is visiting lier j sister, Mrs. Jimmie Lyles. A protracted meeting was held at1 Itock Creek during the past week Mr. Estes was ably assisted by Mr. Mahon. There were no accessions to the church, but the ministers preached with great earnestness. The members were most hospitable, and all strangers were most kindly treated and entertained. Miss L. li. Macon continues to bo a great sufferer. She has the heartfelt sympathy of all, and the frequency with which her friends inquire concerning her welfare, attests the high esteem in which she is held. The ice cream and soda water treats mentioned by your Strother corre spondent deserved ail the commendation bestowed upon them. The enjoyment of the?e occasions is .greatly enhanced ->y the cordial hospitality of those who give the "treat." Ice water is likewise acceptable when the thermometer is in the nineties. andMessrs.

MUCI unanip itiv \I?advantages of a late wet sprinjr, fully vindicates her right to thi? respectable position. Itsaieais s<mothing more than 9U0 square miles. Topographically, the conniry is divided into three di-i inet sections, each having decidedly difl'-ring charactcisties. Thy western poiii??n of the c(uni\ is farmiliarly known as ihe 4 IMney woods Countiv," Irom the fact that the largest portion of its forest grovvilj U pii.c, although it i- interspaced almost cvciy where with all the diflereiit kinds ol oak, hickory, etc, that abound in the south. The lands are undulating and soil more or less . andy. Small stream-, and springs are numerous. This sec ion is healthy and settled by thrifty, prosperous, intelligent and contented people. Its wealth of timber is almost boundless, besides the lands are well adoplcd tc the growth of our great staple?, cori and cotton, and is the best part of the * : ~ coumry ur Vinuiauu onu ui i/u0iu9< The beautiful anil majestic livers, the Saline and Guchita, bound this section on ihe west and northwest, affording ample flipping facilities, and the extensive canebrakes on the Saline, will aflbrd winter pasturage for the cattle tpon a "thousand hills'' loi many years to come* The eastern boiuwlsry of the section lust desciibc* is a line sharply deiiliniu^iWdillereuce between it and *tne prarie lands, which you entei about four miles west of Hamburg, the county seat, a beautiful little town of about 1200 inhabitants, well supplied with good schools, churches, etc. where a lively business is carried on in the mercantile line at all seasons. Leaving the town and still facing eastward, there stretching away in that direction, and extendi nor "from north to smth across the entire length of the country, is a broad level plateau known as the "pr&rie region." But it must not be inferred from this that all this section is an open plain; k> tar from it only about So per cenr. of its area is prarie. The remaining portions are covered with a fiue growth of oak, hickory, pines, dogwood and other southern limber. But anciently the whole region was one vast boundless prarie. Scattered about in spots are several large praries designated a< ltound, Pine, Fountain, Smith's, and Twin praries, and many smaller ones all bearing some special name. Thesu lie embedded in this section like islands scattered about in a sea, yr rather like weving lakes hemmed in by the great woods. They are covered annually with thick coats of wild grass and adorned with flowers of every- discretion and hue. This region has magnificent advantages for slock raising. The fat cattle now found browsing its wide acres, and the thousands that this country has lately contributed to the surrounding markets bare ample proof of this statement. Fifty thousand tons of hay might be cut from the public lands of this pari of the county, costing nothing but the labor of saving it. Thi< section has within its bounds nearly 250,000 acrcs every foot of which is available for tillage or pasturage. It 1$ penetrated it; every direction by small water courses, which, however, dry up in holes in the summer, but usually affording ample water for stock. There are many small farms in this belt, some of theui very fertile and fruitful, but not more than one-twentieth of its area is under cultivation. Leaving the praric di>trict and still facing the rising sun, ws begin to decend what is familiarly known here as the "over fl >w hills," ih*? western boundary of the alluvial district as I magnificent a farming country as there is in the world. Hut to give a ju-t discretion of this section would make this aaticle too long1, ?o will leave it for another writing. In the two sections we have hastily sketched over the price of lands is very low, and there are thousands of acres still open to pre-emption or homestead under the United States or State laws, which will cost the settler hut a trifling sum Or if it i? preferred the United States lands can be bought lor $1.25 and the State l.?nds for fifty cents per acre. This soil is fairly rich, the climate is mild aud genial, game is abundant and of great variety, fishing is good, and the only perccptable drawback to the country is a lack ot railroads, and from the number of surveys recently made t'irough here, it h to be hoped that this (tendering cause to the national progress of tlis county will no longer exist. Then immigration will pour intn this njirt of the Slate. This yreat forest will be cut down, and the wonderful natural advances of this grand country will be uielizef*. More railroad-, more people with more money ami more energy is what is nveded here.
