However Hhatic may heourdeffie teaches 'us that they Kunless supported ami Hpractical methods as aw-making power of Band ability to prose|i?accessiul issue. Let aril. representing all Bfery, and that j;reat Bjover 60 per cent, of country, assert and IPHjHtv and its solemn purWSadvance the interfflaency by declaring gjeds, and ^y showing to tJi;1 American Congress that wbeo ! its demands on paper are ignored, it j can unci will vindicate and maintain . its claims at the ballot-box. Our recent experience with that body, j as well as with the leaders of the two ; great political parties of the country, j should admonish us that the time has j arrived when the great organization I should take bold and determined ac-! tion. To this end, 1 respectfully recom- j mend that this council authorize the j organization of a body to be known as j the National Legislative council of the j Farmeas' Alliance and Industrial ui^- j ion. to whom shall be committed the | charge of such legislative reforms as i may be indicated by your body. I would respectfully sue:gect that the j legislative council be composed of | your national president, who shall be | ex-officio chairman* and the presidents i of all the State* represented in the j supreme council, and that this body \ shall hold its annual meeting within ! sixty days after the adjournment of! the supre'me council. Xot only would its service be potential for good in securing harmony and unity of action among the people, and by crystalizing and concentrating actfnn nnon anv desired measure of re form, but the natural and harmonious i blending: of the moral force of such a j body, with the influence of the reform ! press throughout the States, would establish and solidify a power which could not fail to exercise a most beneliceent effect upon public affairs. I recommend, if it be practicable and | expedient, that the otlice and duty of | treasurer be transferred and merged j Into that of the secretary. I respectfully suggest the expediency and ad- j visability of requiring any officer of i your body who may be nominated or j appointed to any civil office, to tender j his resignation promptly upon his ac- j ceptance of such nomination or ap- i pointment. |1 An intelligent conseption and comprehension of the relations and reciprocal obligations between the citizen md the government is one of the highest attributes of American citizenship, and under our form of government, one of the most important duties and responsibilities devolving upon the citizen. Ilence the attainment of this knowledge is first and foremost in our declarations of principle. We an- , nounce that we are to labor for the education cf the agricultural classes in the Science or economical sroverunjeuu, iu a | strictly non-partisan spirit, and to bring i about a more perfect union of said clas- i ses. Were it the design of the framers ! of our organic law to mpres3 our mem-!1 bership with the responsible and pa- j1 triotic duty o^ reaching the exalted ' standard In citizenship to which all I American freemen should aspire, and tD assert that our organzation was pol it'ical in the highest sense of that term, j they were fortunate in adopting the , language used in this declaration; but . while our organization is political, it cannot be partisan or sectional in its , action. In support of this declaration j we proudly point to our whole past re- ! cord and to the recent popular election, J and particularly to the rioble and pat- I riotic bearing of the brotherhood in the ! states of Kansas and South Carolina. < It is as needless as it would be crim- 1 inal to attempt to disguis# the fa .-t that < as an erganization we have reached a * critical period in our existence.

Flushed and elated with success marvelous in many of its aspects, the most remarkable in the political history of this country, let us not impair its prestige and power-by indif-! ferericeor inactivity on the one hand,] and by grasping for the impracticable or unattainable on the other, strong as j we are, and strong as we must become ! ?strong enough, if united, to render | our lines impregnable to any open or opposing force, yet we are not strong enough nor can we be to withstand the intrigue and treachery of foes within. Our principles must find their "city of refuge" and our cause its citadel of safety in tne loyal hearts of a devoted membership. Let our primary bodies barricade their doors against unworthy and desighing men, and, if such be found already within the gates, let them at once be furnished safe and speedy exit 1 to the camp of the enemy. Let'these primary bodies, standiug as a sentinel at the oiiti-r yates.be constantly on the < alert, and watch with ceaseless vigilance lest they admit dangerous emis- : saries from corporations or political or j monopolistic combinations. Let ns as an order adopt as our rule of action the inflexible test of loyalty to Alliance ' principles as the first and" most essen- ; tiid prerequisite to membership, and to 1 our confidence. Apply this test to the sf-Wt.inn of officers, from the steward of a primary body, to the president of your national body. Apply the test ( rigidly to all men who aspire to repre- : sent us in any capacity, and especially to those, whether of high or low degree, who are to be entrusted with the duties and powers of legislation, and, if in the faithful and impartial appliance of this test, any reasonable doubt should arise, do not hesitate to give our cause : the full ber.fit of such doubt. Place no man on guard who is not a loyal and 1 faithful friend to our cause Herein lies our strength and our safety. T At no ctoriH i?nri nnilin cningly by the great principles enumerated at our St. Louis meeting. In the light of our recent experience the important work of discussing and elucidating these principles must devolve upon us in congress, on the hustings, in conventions and in the partisan press of the country. There was a significant silence on these principles, except and only incases where weforced'their discussion. All propositions presented by us look to financial reform, and notably the measure known as the subtreasury plan, was ignored by congress, and even th* discussion oil this plan was curmrM?rd. notwithstanding the petitions of hundreds of thousands of our members for financial relief. In this direction neither of the great political parties of the country, nor indeed did the leaders of these parties indicate a favorable inclination to heed the demands of these millions of oppressed and long suffering farmers. A cereful review of financial legislation by congress for tne past quarter of a fenturr, together with the disregard i manifested by that body to the just and urgent demands ot the people for financial relief, has fixed upon the public mind the alarming: apprehension "that the seductive hand of monopolistic and corporate power has lifted the American congress to the dangerous eminence from which they can no longer hear the cry of the-people. But the decree- has gone forth' that j this dangerous and threatening state j |c-f things cannot much longer exist.; / -> t-vaavov* f r\ t K rkAfl- i uiuoc ucaici tv cuv . ! pie, or the people will get nearer to cou-1 igrt-ss.

The great absorbing question, let me repeat before the American people, is not whether the Democratic or the Republican party, with their evident subserviency to the will of corporate and money power, shall be iu the ascendency. but the question Is whether under our Republican form of government' the citizen or the dollar shall be sover eigu. President Polk then reiterated the demands of the Alliance, arged the farmers to stand by them. They were mainly the free coinage of silver, the sub-treasury plan, nnd government control of "railroads, lie referred to j the Alliance as the great engine that would allay sectionalism. Xorth and South, had met on common ground/ and henceforth they would be as one In conclusion he said: "Let the dead past bury its dead, and as an organization let us turn our faces toward the rising sun of our auspicious and 'invit- ; ing future, where we shall all be one people limited for one purrose." GORMAN AS A PROPHET. The Maryland Senator Says the Force Bill Will Pas*. Washington, ^orember 27.?Senator Gorman's opinion that the Republican Senators will try to push the force bill through as quickly as possible after the Senate meets is generally regarded here as well founded only to the extent that the bill will betaken up very promptly. Mr. Gorman ought to know, for he represented the minority in the dicker with Quay and the linance committee, which resulted in limiting debate on the tariff bill, the passage of that measure, and the postponement of the force bill. It was distinctly understood by the parties to that dicker that the force bill would be taken up in December, and it was in order to stave off until then the expectcd bitter fi^ht over the bill that the agreement was made. The force bill was believed by a good many close observers to be a doomed measure before ! the elections. Mr. Gorman's implied fear that it j will become a law is shared by very few persons now. That a force bill will pass the Senate this winter is not very im probable, but, vvlillo it will contain tne i essential features of the House bill, it! will be greatly changed from the meas- j are which was forced through under the Reed rules. It will, therefore, have to jo back to the House for that body's action upon the amendments, and ils opponents are confindent that it will ee impossible to hold a Republican quorum Jiere long enough to accept the Senate amendments. They believe that .he onlf way to get a force bill onJfar s?&ulc winter -wtrr'beloftlie Senate to take the bill just as it same from the House, without the change ofa word or letter. " j _ ._.;ii 1 _ ! .Nobody brieves tue senate win uo that. It can be done only by such revolutionary methods as have never jet been seen in the upper house of Congress. There was some wild talk of absolutely ignoring the Democratic Senators and putting the force bill through last summer, but it amounted to nothing. . Mr. Spooner was credited with a desire to-see the bill railroaded through in some such way, but the Wisconsin Sfeuator since then has rc-j ceived a .very emphatic idtimation that his constituents do not fancy that sort of thing, Mr. Ingallsis the only Senator who is regarded as entirely capable of taking fho 1oq<^ in cnoh a revolutionary nroceed ing. lie would have to act as presiding | officer, and he would need all the 'nerve' i he is supposed to have to absolutely refuse to see or hear the protesting Democrats. But Mr. Ingalls will be kept busy, during the next six weeks in trying to be returned to the Senate from a State which has repudiated him. After that he may have no incentive to act as leader of the Republican revolutionists, and if he had it would be too late in the session to carry out the scheme. Mr. Goaman's prediction that the Democrats will defeat the lorce bill un less the Vice President and the Republican majority adopt Reed's methods rests upon a very substanlial foundation.?Xcw York Times. Thc Indian Messiah. Washington, Xov. 29.?John Mayhugh, until recently a special census agent ot the Indiana for Nevada, has written to the Indian Bureau on the t.lir* Mmiti" of the Indian Mes siah. In the letter he says: "The prophet resides in Mason Valley, Esmeraltia County, Nevada, close to the Walker River reservation. His name is not Johnson Sides at Reno, but Captain Jack Wilson, and is known among all the Indians by the Indian names of We-vo-kar and Co-wc-lo. He is an intelligent. fine looking Indian, about 35 years of age. who goes into seeming trances?and seemingly so from twelve ! to fourteen hours?in the presence of a I larae number of Indians. '"Upon the invitation of the prophet, upon his recovery he related to them he had been to heaven and that the Mcssiad is coming to the earth again and will put the Indians in possession of this country ; that he has seen in heaven a j heap of Indians, some of whom arc dres- j sed in white man's clothes. He couu- j sels the Indians not no disturb the white I folks, saying th.it the blanket or raooit skin that was put over the moon by the Indians long ago will soon fall ofl* and the moon, which is now a-lire, will des- j troy the whites. "The Messiah is to appear on Mount Grant, which is a Tory large mountain j held by the Indians to be sacred and j situated about sixteen miles South of I the Walker River agency buildings and j on the West side of the Lake. Here is ; when- the first Indians appeared, accord- ' in? to Indian tradition. Mayhugh says i he understands the rarious tribes expect' to send delegations to this mountain. I and he recommends they be allowed to j visit the mountain to see for themselves J what truth there is In the prophecy." ; " j A Very Bold Kobbery. Milwaukee, Nov. 26.?Wm. Clark, owner of the electric light plant, came to Milwaukee to-day and drew 825,000 from the bank to pay bills. lie paid out about six thousand dollars and was on his war to take the train home to- ; nigru wim inc rcsi ux uic muuc; m a satchel.

Porter's Mysterious Work Mast be Kx I'lltlUVM. Washington*, Z^ov. 29.?Congress will reassemble on Monday next. One of the lirst duties of the Democratic members of the House will be to demand a thorough investigation of the frauds which have been perpetrated in the census of Xevr York. There must be no action concerning the reapportionment of the Congressional districts until those frauds have been sifted to the bottom. The facts already known are suflicient to compel the Republicans to grant the investigation. There will be nlentv more of evidence when the authorities of New York City present their statement of what was done by Porter in the single district of that city, of which he was willing to give his" own detailed enumeration to Mayor Grant, is made public, which will be in a few days. Here is one astounding discovery! Porter has paid his enumerators in New York city for 100,U00 more name's than he has counted in the Census Office here in Washington. lie must be compelled to explain at once: 1. Whether the enumerators actually sent in that number of names In excess of what he has declared to be the real population of the city? 2. If so, what has been "done with the sheets which they forwarded, and which were not counted ? 3. If all the names on the sheets have really been counted, what authority he tiad to pay $10,000 more for the work than the law authorizedliim to pay? 4. If the names were all counted how Jid it happen that Supervisor Murray reported to him, when the enumeration ivas finished in New York, that the * m aa r\r\r\ I sneeis contameu over j.w,uuu more names than were actually on them? We have no doubt, from our present information that the sheets showing Lhe 113,000 names more than Porter I ias counted were actually turned"*'oy enumerators, and th^VrrtrCould not awl. 9ay.i0g_fD.iL Uhem. In that case the sheeis have been destroyed or thrown out in some way. Mayor Grant will submit evidence next "week that in a single district of the city where only poor people reside, cind the population is as large in June ;is in December, hundreds of families have been omitted from the final count. In the whole city probably 20,000 families have been "omitted, and yet the government has paid for their enumieration. An investigation by Congress will | bring out all the facts and when the fraud in the New York work has been exposed there will be plenty of evidence of the arbitrary reduction of the population of other localities. The truth seems to be that Porter has been a party to a conspiracy to report the population of the "United S'atcs nearly three millions less than the actual figures in order to cut down the Congressional representation and electoral vote of Democratic States. If this can be proved he ought to be sent to the penitentiary. If it can be proved a new census of several States must be taken. Until this matter is thoroughly sifted there can be no reapportionment. The unfortunate fact is that there is nothing in Porter's record or character to ren.ler it improbable that he svouhl engage in a rascally partisan scheme for the benefit of the Republican party, out of which he is making a *reat deal of money. lie is an English adventurer, a soldier 3f fortune, who would be as willing to work for one party in this country as jnnt.hpr?fnr nnv His appointment as superintendent Df census was an outrage and we be.ieve that when the census scandal is :horoughly exposed he will want to go L>ack to England to live. When another census is taken we lope it will be an American census supervised by Americans. We have had enough fine English work in our census this year to last us ? ?i/\? \Trtf i/%r?nl r\rv* jCVIUcU UIUUICU JCCUS.?i\auuu<ui/5ui3cmt. Our Kercnncs and Expense*. Washington, I)cc. 4.?James C.

I INGrA LL:S SCHEME. J HOW HE HOPES TO RETAIN HIS SENATORSHIP. i ICellanee Placed in a Contest of the Klectioii if Alliance Men Cannot be Crowded j Oat? Reporting to the United States Senate. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 29?The claim of Senator Ingalls that he will be United States Senator from Kansas to succeed himself appears to have good foundation, if his plans or the plans of his friends prevail. The preliminary steps have already been taken for a contest in the Senate, it being certain that the Alliance will command more than An /-*V? TTAfoc f A aloAf CJJA/ugii yviapo tv There are 106 Counties in the State, nineteen of them having been organized since the last apportionment of members of the -Legislature. These Counties are without representation in the lower House, although the Constitution specially provides that ever organized County casting 250 votes shall be entitled to a representative, and in no | case shall the number of members exceed 125. There have been two sessions of the Legislature since these Counties were organized, but they were not provided for, the Eastern Counties having more than one member refusing to surrender their representative. The nineteen Counties unrepresented have, by courtesy, been allowed delegates, who draw neither pay nor mileage, and who have no privileges on the lloor of the House except to sit there and watch matters pertaining to their own Counties. They have oeen regularly elected at each general election as representatives, but have not' been recognized as such. A few days ago a delegate named Lobdell, from one of these Counties, through his attorney made a demand upon the State Canvassing Board that <i CtJrilliUiiie Ui cicutiuxx as jLLcpicocntative be issued to him. The board refused to do this, recugnizing only the legislative district as provided by law. Notice was given that an application would be made to the Supreme Court for a mandamus compelling the issuing of such certificate, Lobdell, under the Constitution, being entitled to a seat as a member. Nothing was thought of this until to-day, when an attorney,'"who advised Lobdell" to take this action, revealed the reasons to a supposed friend. He acknowledged that the alliance would elect a successor to Senator Ingalls, having 92 votes, more than enough. The IncrallsDlan is to comoel the Sec retary of State to issue certificates of election to the extra eighteen members, one of the Counties not having the requisite numbi-r of voters, in which case there would be 143 members, making the vote, under a decision of the Su preme Court, illegal. .

It is argued that upon this showing Senator ingalls will be seated In case the Supreme Court should refuse to issue its writ of mandamus, the schemers propose to make the contest upon the showing that eighteen counties have been thrown out, although under the Constitution they should be entitled to vote for Senator. In the joint session, when the Senatorial vote is taken, each delegate will rise and demand the privilege of voting. Some of the Ingalls workers profess to believe that the Republican President of the Senate will recognize these delegates, but he is a fair man and will hardly do so. Failing in both of these plans, the schemers propose to nave tne Jjecrerary of State, in making up his list of members of the House, include these eighteen delegates and drop the names of eighteen Alliance membeis, just elected, as he can make up a roli of but 125 members when he organizes the House. They say that if he does this they can organize the House and retain their seats, and the gaining over of two or three Alliance members formerly Republicans will be a comparatively easy matter. In that case no contest would be necessary.

He would cause to be issued the certificate of election to the man the Alliance. with its majority.on jpint ballot, named as tne next l uneu duties ceuutor.

Loue Women Must be as Safe as if a Ke^iment Surrounded Them. Greenville, Dec. 3.?Kiddled with bullets and left in the woods to die a lingering death is the death Judge Lynch decreed to Henry Johnson, alias Henry Wilsby, colored, four miles from Central, in Pickens County, this morning before ""J "to"*' On Monday the quiet little town of Central was excited by a brutal outrage perpetrated upon Mrs. Thos. Walters, wife of a white farmer living four miles' from Central. The outrage was one of the most horrible ever known. While busy at work in her home Mrs. Walters, who is a handsome young .woman. 20 years old, was frightened by a gun'being placed: at her head by an unknown negro, and the command" "Don't move, or I'll kill you." Throwing a rope over her head the negro led her from the house like a cow into the woods some distance away. She kept up a continual scream, but lier iiusoana was a nine a way working in a saw mill, and the nearest neighbor lived a long ways off. The negro pulled the terrified woman over bushes and through brambles until he reached a secluded spot, where, after the most cruel and outrageous treatment, he threatened to kill her^ but she begged piteously, and the villian went away and left her. . . As soon as she could she hurried to a neighbor s house and told the terrible story. The entire section "of country was aroused and parties searched everywhere. Johnson was captured yesterday afternoon at the Richland trestle on the Air Line Road, and last night was taken before Mrs. Walters, who at once recognized him. Fifty determined men had gathered and notwithstanding Johnson's appeals.' he was silently marched away and four minutes afterward fifty or a hundred shots rang out on the early morning air, and testified that a horrible crime had been avenged. A reporter visited the scene of the lynching. Xo one acknowledged knowing anything of the disposition made of Johnson, search revealed the spot where he had been tied to a tree, and in the woods the brute was found dying a brute's death. The mob had evidently left him for dead, but he had recovered' sufficiently to crawl further into the woods. He lay in a pool of sweltering blood, and occasionally an agonized moan escaped his lips. The body was ternuiy mangieu. 1 ne ;eii eye w <is &uut out, and a load of shot had entered the left ear. All over his body bullet wounds were visible. Xo'one'daredto offer assistance, and the ne?ro was dying when the reporter left. Xo sentimental placard was placed on the body, but it lay there an impressive lesson that the women of the country will be protected. Mrs. Walters still shows signs of the terrible treatment she received. Iler eyes are red and swollen, and a blue mark shows on her neck. Public sentiment justifies the horrible death meted out. Johnson has probably been guilty of simular crimes, as he told Mrs. "Walters that she was not the first white woman who had been his vict"11 - rjxmtlv served Uya-^ftT5^ri'few State Penitentiary iftr an attempted as sault on a colored girl.?Xews and Courier. . .

Certain senators, who have in the past been set down as opponents of the election bill, or who, at least, were supposed to be lukewarm in its support, objected not to the general principle of the bill itself, but to the adoption of a policy that in their judgment, would probably. result in blocking all' other important' legislation during the remainder of 1 his ,1.,'tViAiit +1-1Q rrnoruritoo nf <511(7 I HHUUUH/ut6u?4?u..vv ? cessful termination of the attempt to pass the election bill. Several western senators, however, insisted that with a proper spirit of determination on the part of the majority the the bill could be passed.

Several of those nresent. when asked "if it had been de cided that an opporionment bill should be passed, said that no decision was reached, but each one personally insisted that the bill would unquestionably be passed.

Sheppard is prominently mentioned as the dark horse to be entered. Among the majority members the wind is blowing in the Irby quarter. He is their leader, he carried them to victory, and it now seems that they are going to return the compliment. Some ~ of the most prominent of them said ? last night that Hampton stood no parthlv chance and they could not see why his name was not withdrawn. They say that Irby is to be the man and nothing can beat him. 'The talk of a dark horse being run they regard as mere foolishness. A gentleman on the streets this morning offered to bet S150 that Hampton would be elected. It is certainly to be hoped that such will be the case. There is a vast amount of speculation as to who is to be the coming superintendent of the penitentiary. All the candates for the position are on the scene and working hard, button-hoiing members at every opportunity. Col. T. J. Lipscomb, the present incumbent, will remain in the race, it is said by his friends, but the masters of the situation say he stands not the slightest chance." The race is between YV. W. Jirooker and "\V. J. Talbert, of EdgeGeld, and John T. Gaston, of Aiken, and many say that their chances are equal. Sbme'of the knowing ones say, however, that Brooker is in the lead and will be the man. He is at present chairman of the board of penitentiary directors, and he has made a good officer. He has been a supporter of Tillman all the way through.

Rev. J. A. Sligh, of Newberry, is the prominent candidate from the First district. His opponents are Gower and Cleveland, of Greenville, and Meredith, of Union; but it is conceded by one and all that Mr. Sligh-is in the lead and will be the lucky man. Mr. T.
