'he Press and Banner. Wednesday. Feb. 6, 1878. * Sale Dny. [A?t Monday was .Sule l)ny and quite n miner of our citizens of both races were esont. There had been but few tracts of ud iulve.rti.oed and but littie of tliat which .d been advertised was sold. Kow of those rsons present seemed to have any special islncss, and we have to record l>ut few busi s* transactions ol any kind. The n>erantsdida reasonably good business in the ?y of small sales for cash, while there was nslderable enquiry for e led its upon which run farms for the approaching season. At esent our merchants are chary of giving t their K?ods on credit. And none but those to have heretofore uorne a ro<h1 name for tejritv in discharging their financial obll lions received any encouragement to hope ' credit. n the morning the will of the auctioneer tfw ii large crowd in front of tlie court use, when the SheritT ottered the houseand of Joel K-kicIk' of Ninety Six, the only perty sold by liitu that day.

The King itself, ut the time of its greatest audacity, consisted ol Scott, Chamberlain, Parker, Kimpion, Car- ( doz.o Patterson and Neaglt?all of them Republicans. The ablest and iflost dangerous { of these men was Chamberlain, who is one of: the iniMt polished rascals between the two I oceans. A large part of the subsidiary work i was, of course, done by the Republicans, for the State was then controlled by a Republican majority, and the lesser thieves and agents and instruments of the Kim? natuially took to that cast of polities. It is undeniable, however, that there were many prominent | Democrats who like the proprietors ot'thej Dciimcratic Xrw.ninU Ojurwr, loudly called j fur reform and honest government, while ae- i tually participating in the proceeds of the glgan tic operations engineered by Scott, j \ Uiiunioerlain aud Kimpton. | When the Democratic party came Into pow- ! er under tiie leadership ol Wade Hampton ton and his friend M. c. lUitler, now a senator of the United States, there swept throughj tiie State a cry for the conviction and puulsnmeut of the robbers who had piled up a debt { of nearly thirty millions and ruined the industries and property interests of the taxpayers. Hampton and iiutler made good politi-al use of this popular demand, line of them made iPuusell Governor, while tiie oth-j er mounted the wave and lode on its crest in- j to the United States Senate. An investigation committee was appointed, important! evidence was taken inculpating every otic of ( the principal thieves, and subpienasuiul war-| \ rants were issued without stint. One ortwojp of the smaller scoundrels were convicted and t sentenced to prison, a feeble show of an at- jt tempt to brills Patterson to trial was made, i and that wasall. Not one-tenth the at mauds I <| of justice has been satisfied; and tne Demo- n erutic politicians of South Carolina, notably ti Hampton and Butler, are already busily cm- j v gaged in promulgating the idea that the State i v should bury its past of shameful corruption j h and consider the escape of the robbfrs as part i t of the ransom paid for its eunncipation. j v The failure of justice is partly due to thC'li fact that this simple question of punishing !?_ crime has been mixcu up with politics, to' h further the designs of pol'ticinns. It is part-'t ly due to the fact that a full exposure of ti c! p inside history of the .Scott, Moses and ('ham- j o berialn administrations would involve ugood i tj many prominent Democrats in lasting cm-U barrassment. J u The evidence taken in a lawsuit, now in ! (J progress in this city, shows how intimately g Democrats like Senator Butler and his former I friend Gary were concerned with the Jlepub- ! e Mean thieves in tin; plunder of the people. | s The following agreement, signed by Butler and (iary lias been produced as part of the t testimony: ? u Office of Couktknay, Kvkkktt a Co.,\ v S3 Pearl Street, New York. I a Whereas, the undersigned, being desirous g to Like action to reinstate the value of the i bonded debt of the State of South Carolina: o It K hereby agreed the undersigned agree to f( pay to M. C. Butler and M. \V. (iary lo per'a cent, of the net gains that may arise from the j c purchase and sale of at least $500,000 of said | State bonds, the increase to be measured by g the advance due to an endorsement of the j v puollc meeting to lie held on or about the. :td j t day of May next, at Columbia, approving the e payment in full of all the present bonded t debt of the State, aud agree to uso thotr best f, efforts to that effect in consideration of said t 111 1.1 X . V. K. EVKRKTT, L. D. CIIILDS. J. U- PALM UK. (by L. D. Chllds,) J. P. SOUTHERN. Now York, April 17, 1*71. We accept the terms of the above agreement. M. C. BCTEKR, Attorney, &u. M. \V. GAUY, AtU>rney-at-I,aw. The disgraceful character of this writing will he apparent when it is added that liuth't anil Gary were both delegates to the Taxpayers'Convention, which they proposed to Influence to certain action in the interest, of a bond speculation. All of the parties who brlhed butler and Ciary with a promise of a i share In the profits were holders of South I Carolina bonus. Everett was a New York ' #pecluator; Childs, Palmer, and Southern were Presidents of three Columbia banks. It had been determined by the Chamberlain Ring and tlie bondholders to appreciate the value of the bonds by Inducing the Taxpayers' Convention to pass a resolutihu declaring the validity of the debt; and Attorney Butler, now Senator Butler, sold in advance his official ititluenee ns a delegate to the Convention in consideration of a percentage on the profits of the Job. ; This arrangement throws light on the following confidential letter from Chamberlain to Kimpton, Financial Agent in New York of the State of South Carolina. The original copy of "this d?.icumcnt, which has never beI fore been printod, is in our possession : COI.L'.VlllA. S. ('. At)!'. 1R71. Dear Kimpton. Your two letters of tlie 20th and your official letter ure received, rind , I am delighted to know tliut you are in u safer position. The official letter is well und I, may be of use in the future. I will cooperate with J} utter and f.'rrri/ in any possible way. I have not heard of their arrival nere as yet. The Governor has been to Charleston, and fooled about with leathers ?t Co., as you will see by the A'ews. He said when he camel back that he was going immediately to N. Y.,! but yesterday he said he had postponed his j visit. I rather think Joe Crews' telegram has! scared him. I do not know what he is doing | exactly, but he went to Gary, Parker's clerk, | and gave hlm'ordcrs to pay out 110 money at all?that he was uoing to send it ull to N. Y.I I What he is coins; to do I can't say yet. I will j I see Bush and have him do alt he can. Yours truly, D. II. CHAMBKHLAIN. i This promise tocooporate with Hutlcr and | Gary was written six days after they had] made and signed the agreement printed, above. It Is a matter of record that ChamI berlain did cooperate with liis Democratic al-; lies. The bull resolutions were put through! ithe Taxpayers' Convention by the united agency of these precious statesmen, and although the rise In bonds was less than they had hoped, It was sufficient to pi'y Butler and Gary a good sum in percentages. This specimen of the relations maintained between prominent Democrats and prominent Kepublicans during the fattest days of stealing in South Carolina helps to explain Butler's motive in trying to save Chamber-1 lain and Patterson. Why has no honest effort' i been inn<le to brine Patterson to trial? J mure j [Humphry'B extraordinary decision could; ; have been overturned by u breath. Why lias | ' i no requisition been issued lor Chamberlain and Kimpton? Chamberlain Is practising! rj law in the courts of this city, and his friend [ I Kimpton Is not far oft". What Is the nature | of the evidence against Chamberlain held by I , i the Columbia In vestigating ("om 111 it tee and I | thus far suppressed? One word from Hump- I | ton and Butler would bring Chamberlain to i justice. Why is that word withheld?

We must preserve ,J his discipline of the mind, nnd still give the j. ' tudenta practical, Instead of an oruanienal 1 ? ducation. | f. It is true that anything taught in schools ' ,nd colleges confers some degree of henellt up-! M '" >n the scholars, but in an a^e where so much j y." s to be learned, we niu.-t keep abreast with . he progressive spirit of the tl mas. The sys- I em we should inaugurate must keep pace villi the advanced ideas upon education. In t CnRiaud and in America the eclectic system Is * uis been adopted. If we wish a vigorous I IT rowl ii in our future system, we must cut I way the dead limbs that impede its perfect -J','., leveiopinent. , The study of I.athi and Greek must he Iropped from the curriculum of our achools vy. ml colleges. .They are dead languages, and I' houid be allowed to sleep quietly in their!:", ombs.

It puzzled me in ' o understand how it was that salt was regard- ] * :d as an essential element in the food ot the j U!'' :ottoti plant.

The ! >opular idea wasthst it was intended to pre- 1" /cut rust in cotton, and to create moisture iround the plant. If I had been taught gentry and agricultural chemistry the ten years that i was delving among the dead formulas 1 )t Latin and < ireek, I would in all probability gsij iiave known this faet. i would inso havc'pn :?een aware of the faet that the gypsum and \ lio land plaster or lime were, intended' to lix thejcoi ihereby keep it from esc: ping by a loo rapid | mi [iroces.> of evaporation. 1 would have learned , bei thatammonla was contained in the guano, and I no: known that the cotton plant absorbed ammo-: uij ilia from the air, and that ammonia was the ' na basis ot all our best fertilizers.
