The Press and Banner. Bj Hugh Wilson and H. T. Wardlair. Wednesday, April 28, 1880. A Word to "Georgia Farmer.5* i In another column a "Georgia Farmer" asks the Abbeville farmers to write something about tbe stock law. We are not a farmer, but have never grown tired of tho subjedt, and will write a little, whether it is of benefit or not. Tho law is unquestionably a public benefit. It contributes greatly to our prosporitv as a people, ami has grown in favor with * majority of those who were opposed to its enactment, while the advocates of the law havo been moro than ptaaaed. While this is true, there are a few men in different parts of the county who are still opposed to it, because it does not suit their esoeeial case, but we do not know of any good reason to oppose it on genera! principles. For instance if a man who may or may not own land, desires to raise n large number of cattle, it would be to his advantage to have them grar.e on other people's land and crops. The stock law as it now stands here compels every man who engages in stock raising as it does raising cotton, to fUrnlsh his own lands. He is not allowed to forage or farm on the lands of others. The fact is, the whole opposition to the law when boiled down to the finest point may be ejtpronsed in a man's desire to have his cow brows? on auother man's hill. The arguments of the opponents of the stock law as expressed in the WiwAmj/ftm Oa- j tette were nearly all usod ny the opponents of the law in this county, with the addition here that we were told a great deal about tho "widow's cow." It is sufficient to say that The evil predicted by the opponents of the law has failed in every single instance, and it is an indisputable fact that no man can enumerate the advantages of tho law. Thousands of acres of tho b?st lands in this county have been brought into cultivation as the result of the law. One of the best informed farmers in this county estimated the increased acreage in Abbeville county on this account at trn thousand acres. Farmers can prepare and cultivate a much larger area under the present system than under the old. It is estimated that from one to two months time is savod on the farm by the new system. The great worry, annoyance, expense, and loss of crops, in consequenoe of water gaps is saved. It gives the landowner a greater return from his land, while it increases the demand for labor. It has had the effect of making rents a little lower, and wages have Increased in some sections. A landowner in this county has established various sottlemer on his largo estate and now offers to rent his lands for one-fourth of all the croos. Formerly tho renter gave one-third of the cotton,, and one-fourth of other cropR. Tho indications are that rents will bo easier, and labor still higher. It is a fact which no man will deny, that It take<- not one-tenth the labor and cost to fence the stock that it requires to fenco the crops. Anderson county first adopted the law, three years ago. Abbeville, Newberry, Laurens and Union bad the benefits of the law extended to them at the next sitting of the Legislature. Pickens, Greenville and Spartanburg secured its benefits last winter to all the territory within their borders, except the backbone of the Blue Ridge. In all these counties the Jaw has given the greatest satisfaction. If yon want to see the vast territory embraced in the above, cast your 03*6 over the map of .South Carolina. The law is equitable and just, and cannot fail to aommend itself to every pro gressive farmer who has not some special reason for opposing it, which objection would apply to only a very few isolated cases. After making diligent inquiry, we have failed to hear of any planter who charges his tenants for pastures, except in this way: each tenant usually makes an agreement to do an equitable share of the labor necessary to keep up the fences around the pastures. Before the passage of tho stock law tenants helped to keep up ten times as much fencing around the crops. m ^ Shall the Democratic Party Hide the Faults of Its Members 1 Occasionally wo have had cause to criticise certain actions of persons withiu our own political lines. At this some of our people have expressed regret. In reply to all who have kindly stated their fears that we would injure tho party by expos-1 ing ttie errors of members of the Democracy, we would say that a great political party cannot be injured by the errors or crimes of a single individual or any small number of persons, but on the contrary, the party injutes itself by attempting to hide or cover up such offenses. When a party is unable to punish evil doers with*. in its own ranks, it is weak indeed. The way to gain strength as well as the approval of the public, is to do right, and to frown down whatever may be wrong, by whomsoever committed. It is a great error to suppose that the Democratic party can gain strength by allowing its members exemption from exposure and punishment for crimes. The fact is, whenever a political party undertakes to shield criminals from punishment and disgrace, it proclaims its own unworthiness of public trust. We believe in pitching high standards of right, aud in punishing and exposing ottonders whether they claim to be Democrats or Republicans. Crime is crime, and political oast should bo no excuso. Ah public journalists it is our duty to record facts. Our readers are entitled to tbein, and we do not intend to magnify one man's error and at tbe same time cover tbe sins of another. A Prophet Not Without Honor, S&Te in His Own Conntry. By referenoe to an article which we copy from the News and Courier of yesterday, it will be seen that the Hon. J. C. Sheppard and General M. W. Garv were defeated on the 24th instant in the i Edgefield local club in the race for delegates to tho County Convention. That articlo, it would seem, assigns as tho reason for this great change of public sentiment the course these gentlemen recently pursued in support of the Bolters' ticket for intendant and wardens of the town. In this defeat General Gary has received a blow, from which he will find it difficult to recover during the present campaign, and Bolters or Independents throughout the State have been taught a significant lesson. If a man ex- j pects honors in South Carolsna he should steer clear of Independentfcm. Edgefield has Just furnished unmistakable and convincing evidence that our people are not ready for that move. There must j be, however, some mistake about this! matter, as we are not disposed to believe j that a man o# General Gary's high nspirft- ] tions means to seek favors at tbe hands of the negroes. He has always been the Rtraightest of the Straightout Democrats. In fact, he has been so extremelv Demo-1 nratic that he has on more than one occasion denounced General Hampton for bis more liberal and conservative course. For this reason we cannot think that| General Gary contemplates running for Governor on an Independent or Boltera' ticket. We are no admirer or supporter of General Gary, bnt say this much for j the sake of justice to him. 1 Tbe Governorship. From all tbe information that we can gather in reference to the coming nomii nation for Governor we believe, so far at 1 least as Abbeville county is concerned, that the good of the party demands that neither llagood nor Gary bo put in nonii- < nation for that office. Neither have very many zealous advocates and it is a fact ! beyond dispute that either will ruu betI ter on his competitors unpopularity than upon his own merits. The friends of | Hagood have boen incensed at Gary's course, and the friends of Gary visit the < imaginary sins of Hampton on Hagood, ! a* being his representative and sympa- ' thizer, and it is a fact, which but few mcu ' claiming any intelligence, will deny, that it will be impossible, under any ciri cumstances, to unite Abbeville on either I j candidate. I We do not pretend to know the feeling | in other counties, and we acknowledge^ that Abbeville is only a very small part j ] of the State, but for the Bako of unanim- j; ity it might be better to put a "third | j man" in nomination. Wo care not not who ho may bo. He can corny nearer ! uniting the party than either Hagood or ] Gary, even though he be greatly inferior.] to either. I; The Negro Convention. trtcwviiorfl ? ? civfi a full account of I1 tlio negro convention which met in the I Court House last Saturday to nominate delegates to attend the State convention. It would seem that they are determined to raise the color line again, and to restore the former ill feeling between the races which existed here so long during the time the negroes ruled this State* We are sorry to see this action on their part, as it can only excite bad feeling and a diversion from tho production of a' | good crop, which is now so much needed. They need not lay the flattering unction to their souls that we will under any circumstances allow thorn again to take possession of the government. Such an event need not be counted upon. Improved Public Sentiment. The recent hangings in this State show j i that a man cannot with perfect impunity j j shoot his neighbor. It lias become a lit-11 tie uncertain what a jury may do. It is ! t now possible that a man may bo convict- j? ed, and it is pretty certain that Governor;} Simpson will not pardon such criminals. I j Our own opinion is, that a great dual of foolish twaddle has been wasted on urg- j , ing the necessity of a law forbidding the1i carrying of concealed weapons. When I} juries determine to hang murderors, the 1 ovil of which we have had just reason to11 I complain will be remedied. A little; J | healthy hanging will do more to bring r about a healthy state of morals than all * j tte laws that we can pass. * * Old-Fashioned and Ill-Mannered Law* i yers Abuse Witnesses. 11 As the following in reference to the j \ Attorney-General's conduct at Wes>t;j Point will apply to lawyers nearer home,. t .we reprint it. The juries have it in their j t power to correct such violations of the j t laws of common decency, and exercise .j their right by refusing to give a verdict t for any lawyer who depends to the cow-1 \ ardly practice of abusing witnesses. The1 c New York World, says. L Mr. Townsend has conducted his cnso:f ?i.? /-> ' manv nlfl-fashinnmi ! Ill UIC IIKUtiJ^l v* ^ criminal lawyers, which is the manner Jt very likely, in which he conducts all his j n cases. This method may be described as f a kind of ferocious horseplay. The the-' ? ory of a counsel of this kind* is that all ofj v the witnesses who do not help his case are 11( wilful prejurers, that the counsel on the ' a other side is the scum of the earth, and!'1 that the court, when it decides against;* him, is either hopelessly ignorant orjt hopelessly corrupt. He enlivens the pro-11 eeedings with witticisms which arc simp-1 a ly direct and gross insults to the witness- j1 ee and tho opposing lawyers, and w<ouid | ? be greatly astonished if any of his pro-1i, fessional brethren should take offense at! I his playfulness. The progress of civiliza- j P lion is gradually putting an end to this | ^ method of trying cases, except before the j 0 tribunai ofthe wider Western communi- , u ties, but some old-fashioned lawyers still v pursue it, and evidently Mr. Townsond ? is one of them. He believes that he ought j ? to do everything to help his case, and ho i d has never doubted that promiscuous-in-1 fi solence was calculated to help it. Even | n on this assumption his behavior at West j P Point is not defensible. What is Mr. j ^ it/vjoo1' 9 VaKaHv id nn frirtl I ^ lunuovuu a ? A* "WVV*J ? VM ? - I . nor is Mr. Townsend either prosecuting [1 or defending anybody. The proceeding i ia merely an inquiry. Mr. Townsend,. ^ however, has provided himself with ajw "case," which is that Whittaker was tied |o and assaulted by some white cadets who 0 were aided and abetted and are concealed * by the body of cadets, and who are en- n oouraged to commit such outrages by o their officers anJlnstructors. The enun- ti ciation of this ingenious theory, whtah Mr. Townsend has adopted withoui a particle of evidence, and on which he has \ persistently conducted his examinations, n is not of itself calculated to make Mr. 11 Townsend belovedjat West Point. When " he enforces it at every opportunity by ir - i suiting the cadets, their officers and their instructors, according to the boorish S method of practising law, it is not sur- n prising that he should find himself in dis- ^ iavor with men who are accustomed to c consider that insults^are insults even when ii they are delivered in a court of justice. " Neither is it surprising that Mr. Townsend should consider himself the victim ti of a scandalous prosecution when tlie a court declines to accept bis insults as b harmless jokes. ?

Urooki.vn, April js.?I)r. Talmage preached a discourse this morning, which will attract universal attention. Ills subject was, < 'Mistakes About the south Corrected."

The following is u Full Report of the Sermon, Caleb's daughter, Just married to Gen. Othnicl, had received of her father, as a wedding I present, a farm at the South, in ti worm and j sunny clime.

Among other things 11 ;iad a grave to visit in Cieorgla, the grave of! my uncle, Rev. Dr. Samuel K. Talinagc, for | :wenty years the President of Oglethorpe j University. After walking amid the ruins of ' he Institution which he had founded and! from which a multitude of men went forth to j positions of Vntluence In all parts of the land, j1 jut an institution slain by the war, I went; >ut to see his last resting place. When our jlvll strife opened, his heart broke and ho lay lowu near by the scene of his eminent use'ulness. the monument over him adorned .vlth his name and the suggestive passage: 'How beautiful upon the mountains arc the 'eetof them that nrlnggood tidings,that pubish peace." He was of that band of contemporary jnln liters of the South who. after eloluent words and long service for Christ, are iow resting from their labors?Dr. James H.! rhornwel), whose life, written by Dr. Palmer, j s n holy enchantment, and Dr. Thomas i *tnlth and Dr. Duncan and Dr. Fierce and; nany others. But my mission was not so much with the ' lead as with the living, i started on the: our with no partisan predilections aim no jrejudlces, and resolved to tell or. my return I .vhiit I saw, whether It might be generally ap-1 jrovod or denounced by one or both sections. ! had no political record to guard or defend, 'or my chief works in the ministry lias been lone since the war closed. My admiration or the Democratic party and the Republican >arty, as purties, Is so small that it would; x?ke one of McAllister's most powerful mag- j llfylng glasses to discover anything of It. I American Politico Are Rotten, ^nd that party steals the most which lias the !' nost chance. I had all tlie doors of itiforma* j, Ion opened to me. I talked with high and: ow, Governors and water-carriers, clergy-1 ( ncn and laymen, lawyers doctors, editors ind and philanthropists, with the black and he white, old residents of the South and new lettlers from the North, and I found that] here have been the most persistent and out-1! ageous misrepresentations In regard to the j South by many of the correspondents of see- ( ilar and religious Journals, and by men who, iverbenrfng and dishonest In their behaviour 11 it the South, have had Information given to : bom that their company was not desirable. I f ft man go South and behave well he will be \ xeated well. There Is no more need of rigor- ( lus governmental espionage In Atlanta, Au- , justa or Macon than there is In Boston or : few York. The present disposition of the touth has been en wrongly set forth that I < iropose now, so far as I am able, to correct j he stereotyped slanders concerning It, ( First, It has often heon represented to lis i hat the South was longing for the old sys- . em of negro slavery. So far from that being' | rue, they are all glad to Imve got rid of It. , I'he planters told me that they can culture! i heir fields with less expense under the new ] ystem than the old. A gentleman who hnd , .1- -.1 n.nt tho li Nothing and feeding of them, tlio taking care ?f the aged who could not work, and the prorlslon for helpless colored children, wus an (xpensc and anxiety and exhaustion. Now he planters have nothing to do but pay the vages when they are due. the families look ater their own Invalids and minors. So they ill say, without one exception, that I could I Ind. If at the ballot boxes of the Southern I <tates the quest Ion should now be submitted: | 'Slmll negro slavery be reinstated?" all the j cards and all the cities and all the counties! nd all the States would give thundering neg-1 itlve. They louzht to keep It eighteen years [ no, but now there Is universal congratula-! Ion at lis overthrow. Thank (iod that North j ,nd South at last are one on that subject, and | his etlort of our Northern politicians to keep | he subject of slavery rolling on, Is as useless >. nd Inapt as to make the Dorr rebellion of| tliode Island, or Aaron Burr's attempt at the verthrow of the United States Government, , he test of our Kali elections. The whole sub-1 ret of American slavery tsde-^d and damned. Inquired everywhere: "How do the colored eople work under the new plan ?" Tho anwer was; "Well, very well. We have no rouble. Just after the war there was the dismanizatlon that naturally came of a neworerot things, but now they work well. They rork ftir belter than Northern laborers that omc here, because our colored people can etter endure our hot climate, and on a warin utnmer's day. at the nooning, they will lie own in the field to enjoy the sun." My lends, all that talk about dragging the rivers nd lakes of the South to haul ashore black c eiple murdered and tiling in,though serious- q > believed by many people at the North, Is a 'nlsehood Too Ridiculous to Mention " n a religious assembly. The white people of tie South feel their dependence on the dark eople for the cultivation of their lands, and J lie dark people feel their dependence on the 0 fhlte people for wages. From what I have ( bserved here at the North of the oppression , f some of our female clerks In dry goods _ tores and the struggle of many of our young . leu on Insignificant salaries, which they ; ? i-ist take or get nothing at all, I give as my I" nlnlon that to-duv there Is more eonsldera-1, Ion and sympathy for colored labor at the outb than there Ik consideration and sympa- , hy for employes in sotneof the stores on Fill- j ;>n avenue, Brooklyn, or Broadway, New i 'ork, Washington street, Boston, or Chest-', ut street, Philadelphia. All the world over, c liere are tyrannical employers, and for their i jaltrealment of subordinates, white of black, . tiey are to be execrated; but the place for us ^ 0 begin retortnatlon is at home. r Another misrepresentation in regard to the s ouih I cure when I say they are notantago- c istlc to the settlement of Northern men jj . lthln their borders. Wehave been told that , iortherners going there are ku-kluxed: t rowded out of social life, unrecognized, and . ii every way made uncomfortable. But the s nlversal sentiment as I found It was "send t own your Northern capitalists; ?ena down j our Northern farming machines; buy plan-ja itlons; open stores; build cotton factories t ml rice mills; come! come right away; conic . y tens of thousands and by millions. OfL ourse they have 110 more liking for Northern I ? Mils or Northern braggorts than we have. A |!( ian who goes South and sets down liIk valise >j t tlio depotand goes upon the nearest plan- ^ itldu to say by word or manner to the plant- c r, "I have come down here to show you Igorant people how to farm; we whipped you 1 the war, and now we proposo to whip you i agriculture; I ain from Boston, lam; that's tie hub; you look very much llko the man tiat I shot at .South Mountain- 1 think it must > avo been your brother.

He will not very soon get: c a be deacon in church, and If lie opens a store 1 e will not have many customers, and if ho | hould happen to get a Irec and rapid ride on : hat part of u fence which Is most easily re- ]' noved, and nhould be net down without much 1< el'erence to the desirability of the landing- c lace, you and I will not be protectants. Any j J floral man who will go South and exercise | f ustordinary common sense, will bo wel- 1 omed, made at home, and coming from " Brooklyn, will be treated Just as well as ll ho ' ame from Mobile. ' I might give many Illustrations. 1 give ' ne: A member of this church moved to ? -'harleston, S. C., seven or eight years ago.. ' le went without fortune.

This Kill* ?r IIciivpii I linrp iu no ninr? I lospitable people than thepeopie of the South 1 .nil now I bring a message from all the States 11 if the South which I visited, invtting lmml-ll :ration thither. The South is to rival the I iVeHt us an opening ilcld for American enter- \ >rise. Horace Greeley's advice to go West Is j o have an addenda in "Go South." The first * ivalancheof population thither will make 11 heir fortunes. It is a national absurdity that i J o much of the cotton of the South should be \ ransported at great expense to the North to]] >e transformed into articles of use. The few j1 actories at the South are tho pioneers ot the 1 r incounted spindles which are yet to begin tlielo lum of their grand march on the banks of|c he Savannah, Appalachlcola and the Tom- \ )lgbeo. There stands Georgia with Its.58,0001 j quare miles, and South Carolina, with Its :il,-! n 00 square miles, and Alabama, with I Is 60,722 s quare miles, and North Carolina, with 50.7W i t quare miles, and the other Suites, none of i hem with more than ten ner cent, of their J esourcos developed. When will tlie over-! t xowded populations of our great cities lake | 'J lie wings or the morning and fly to regions : t yhere they shall have room to turn round jc .nd breathe and expand and become masters j c if tneir own corn fields or riceswamps or cot- i t on plantations or timberforest*?

The'} eath rate of Michigan and Georgia arc equal,: u ,'hlle the di-ath rat's,according to the num-|<i er of poj)Ulatlon In Georgia than In Connects 11 ;ut and Maine. Whether you go West or i outh you will probably have one acclimating I ttach. It Is only a different style of shake. 1 here Is no need that England or Ireland or r cotland any longer suffer for room or bread- t he tides ol emigration now pouring into c (lis country are greater than at any time in li Istory?31.65S emigrant!" last month arrived r i New York, 5,000 emigrants last Tuesday in n nd around Castle Garden. Thla is only an a aUmalion of what U to come. Make two t currents. While you put on oxtra trains Lake them West by the Pennsylvania, Kr ?nd New York Central, put on extra trains ( the Baltimore and Washington, and Chatt and and Atlanta and Charlestan rout to take them South. There are tens of tho sandsof fortunes waiting for men who ha' the enterprise to go and win them. The Sou beckons you tocome. Stop cursing the Sou and lying about the South, and go and t yourselves the cordiality of her welcomc ai the resource* of her mines, her plantatlo and her forces. Perhaps that is the way th God is going to settle this sectional strll There will be hundreds of thousands of o brightest, most intelligent, inost moral youi men, will go South lor residence, and th< will Invite the daughters of the South to he them build home* ainld the magnolia ai orange groves, and thoir children will be In North and half South, half Georgia and hi Vermont, half South Carolina and nan m York ; and thereafter to divide the count you would have to divide the children wl some such sword as Solomon s a mistical proposed for the division of the contest child, and the Northern father will say to tl Southern mother: "Come, my dear, 1 gut we had bettor put this political feud to sle in his cradle." The statement so long mi pant at the North that t lie South did not wa industrious, useful and moral Northerners settle among them, 1 brand as a politic falsehood, gotten up and kept up lor politic purposes. Again, I have to correct the impression tli the South are bitterly against the Glover ment of the Unit'd States. The South sit rnitted to arms certain iiuestions.and most them arc submissive to the decision. The is no light In them. We hear much nbo the tire-eaters of the South, but if they e lire they have a private table and prlvs platter In a private room. 1 sat ar. many t oles, but 1 did not see anything of that kii of diet.

Why, sirs, I never saw mci placid people?some of them with all the property uone and starting life at forty sixty years of age with one leg or one arm one eye, the missing member sacrificed battle!

A snug little sporting fund ,1 ite j for a scientific tasting committee to spend in 1c a- j their Jaunts r.boutthe country looking lor oleo- i B :id margarine. And I venture to suggest, that If |0 or tiiey would only take their Journey first j}' cd throughout t he South and taste a vast deal of J1 ire the stuff bartered for by our country mer- * ;ir chants, they wonld without hesitation advise jor our people to buy oleomargarine "every J' or time." 4 in Well, this bill was referred to the commits J ise | tee on agriculture, and by it to a sub-commit- jj is tee, of which I am a member. Our first step 1 as | was to ko to headquarters and Investigate the v-j manufacture of the article; so we went to Jj o- New York, and there wo found a concern In JJ to which more than half a million dollars had JIc, I been Invested, turning out more than fifty 11 he I thousand pounds of oleomargarine dully, ? ic. I nmuufactiiied after the Identical process as * iet that previously reported from Baltimore, but v la- of course upon a tenfold larger scale. J1 rid There are something tnoro than two thou- ' nd sand beeves killed dally at the slaughter s ie houses In New York city, and they average c >rt nearly one hundred pounds of fat each, be- l! In side the kidney fat which cannot be used In this manufactory, because, asyet.lt Is lm- * _ possible to divest U or its tallowy taste. Hut " all the remaining fat Is dally sold, and dellv- J ilg ered twice a day to this "Commercial IWunu- " n- facturlng Company," (the style of the coin- 1 yR pany making oleomargarine,>who pay three " he cents per pound more for the fat than the J1 n- same article brought In market anterior to 11 it- the eslabllshment of this manufactory. At ? th that time It brought three and a half cents s es per pound, now It brings sis and a half. About 0 Id thirty-live per cent, of this fat is oleomarga- c p- rlne, forty-rtve oer cent. tallow, ten per cent. v to ntcarino, and the balance waste. Of course a n >t- chemical analysis would show a great many H >e- other remaining Ingredients, such atpalinatiii o ?t oraehin, caprylin, Ac., <fcc., that nobody unlo derstands but a chemist. I sltnply glve the (e ulc proportion of oleomargarine, tallow, stearlnc } of and waste, which together make up that coin- ? ur pound known as beet fut. he Now, if the cattle growers of the Northwest F vo and Texas only knew that this manufactory ' ss was adding at least three dollars to the value vo of every average beef killed In New York,and n id that the butchers there were growing rich at t >w the rate of six thousand dollars perday, I lm- P as aglno they would begin to look into this mat- l.v ter. >rc This entire amount of eleomargarlne is dal- o Iy deposited with that well-known and Jm- S rn rnense house of H. Iv. Thurber & Co.. who#rc T lie the sole agents of tlie Commercial .Manunic- 8 A turing Company, and who assured me I hey n ilf sold It as fast as it was now manufactured for t Id homo consumption. This house once did nn R se immense trade in butter, but to-day they n se don't encourage consignments of butter, pre- 0 lie ferrlng to handle the oleomargarine, which is 11 sh sold and consumed at home as rapidly as It r li. can be made. I: io- More than a dozen years ago an eminent a he French chemist. M. Mece. asked himself the t ti- question. Where docs the fat come from that <1 te Is found in milk which makes butter? He 1 'C- suspected that It was absorbed from the mil- t h- ma 1 tissues, and began a series of experimcn is r to test It. He treated some places of clean 1 ve beef suet with carbonate of potash and jiep- {] of sine from the stomach of a sheep and found J1 nt ihdt. the fat was In tills way easily separated t tie from the cellular tissues. This fat was drawn c L'l- oil, and cooled and found to harden or con- . ur geal. It was then subjected to hydraulic et pressure, by which means steiirine and a ry tasteless oil were obtained. Ten pounds of II* this oil was mixed with four pin us of mill; j ge and three pints of water and churned. The a in result was an unusual quantity ofa substauec ns that In taste and consistency resembled butst ter. When freed from Its water it was found id to keep an Indefinite time. It was eaten, gft found palatable, anil by continued experlof ment whs found to be a perfectly wholesome Hi article of diet. Mega lit once brought this y. product to the attention of the public by pat- 1 ut cntlng his proccss of manufacturing; money J th was subscribed, companies were formed, and 1" lie by 1*74 seven manufactories wen; established a rl- In France, employing over four hundred li it- hands. The French Government to-day reels ognlze It ns a legitimate article of comntorce, Id and the French chemists pronounce li as le more wholesome than the unsavory and ran- r in | chl butter so freely bought and sold among F a- the common people of that country. These . us facts I copy lrom the Encyclopaedia IlriUtmticn n- which Is, of course, standard authority. to Jn 1S73 Mr. Jas. Wilson, of Now York, pur>u cluiscd the patent for the manufacture of 's oleomargarine In the United states, ami has ol since that time established thirteen factories a, throughout the Union; the largest being In :k New York, where they employ two hundred r- hands, who work In reliefs, the work begin- -i w nlnif live minutes after li! o'clock Monday | morning nnd not stopping for a moment un- fl til Jlvo minutes before 12 Saturday ?l?ht. All ji the fat thlscompany can buy Is converted in'd to tallow, stearlne and oil, and If they cannot ci' during the week manufacture all the oil into >d oleomargarine, the balance Ik barrelled and shipped to Liverpool, where it is churned Into at oleomargarine. The stearlne Is shipped in ul hogsheads to all parts of the world, and used 'n chiefly by candle and confectionery mannfacrc tureru. The tallow, of course, is Hold, and the wuste goes Into the ofl'nl of the city.

A. Mott, Jr., analytical and e. consulting chemist of the Commercial Manurd facturing Company, writes: "I am clearly of ir the opinion that the product called oleomar-j s :s. garlne butter Is essentially identical with but-! re ter made from cream. ? It is h- destined to supplant the inferior grades of Mi butter, and be placed side by side with the j: best product of the creamery." I have many more testimonials before me from men or eminence in Northern colleges )P who have witnessed the manufacture and j Qt analyzed the product, who testify sirpilnrly ,18 to the above concerning oleomargarine. Hut id why cite any more. I have "proved the pud>tj ding by chewing the bag." and confess I am 5i, amazed at the magnitude of this enterprise. lC. It is u? estatmsneu industry, ana it woiuu or i ns easy to stop tbe traltic In any other article I lcj of commerce an to prevent the manufacture of T c. oleomargarine. A half million of pounds are A>. produced, sold, bought and euten in tlie United Stutes every day. Kuc.li a fact speaks for P. itself.

Hiat Judge Mackey Told a Tar-Heel Reporter About Politics?Grant's War With Mexico, in Which the Judge will be a Camp-Follower. (Charlotte Observer.) Judge Maekey was In town yesterday. As lie Judge likes to talk and the public likes to ear him, an Observer reporter was delighted t. meeting with him in a clothing store rhere lie was being lltted to an elegant cloth imt. Uport the expression of a desire for an utervlow, the Judge set down with the barilla lor the coat unfinished and the clerk joking disconcerted. To Induce the Judge's eloquence to break >rth one has but to puncture u hole In the ikes of the political sea. The reporter sugestcd Grant in the South and especially in out!) Carolina. "I do not know a single Democrat in South 'arollna who will vote for Grant in preference ) the regular Democratic nominee; but, on hrt .mnifiirv I not trnnvv nf nnv wliodoeH ot prefer hlrn above all other Republican nii(il(liiti!S. His speech nt Galveston was a lap In the face to the Northern Republicans, liulr theory Is that the Southern people are ut the Confederate army in citizen's clothes -a full Hedged bird waiting for a line day to y. Grant declared that they were loyal icn, and that in another war the blue and lie gray would light side by side, and another i-ar, too, is contemplated against Mexico In is B/hetne of centralization, and not only a lilrd but a llfth and a sixth term. Texas now lalms $75,000,OUO indemnity from Mexico for puliation* connnllted 011 the border. This aim Is the excuse for the war, and Grant ^111 rejoice in the opportunity of attacking his magnificent country, consisting of tweny-seven .states, with 11,000.000 population. ;he blue and the gray will light together, and y a Judicious distribution of military paronage In the South, the opportunity for hlcli this will give him, he will become the ero of the South as well as of the North, 'wo worus will passaway,or rather one word, ebel, will pans away, and another, carpetagger, will migrate. The Southern man will ock to Mexico to represent the Mexicans In .'ongrcss. The troubled 'Greaser' will cry out n the bitterness or his soul, 'Carpet-Dagger,' nd the Curollnlnn, the Georgian and the .ousliiulnn will reply, 'Gentlemen, we are ompolled to do this thing to get even.' Yes. ir, the South will be most easily reconciled 0 centralization under changed clrcumtances, 'l'lie cry against the third term all omes from the North now. All we euro for 1 to elect onr candidate," "I have no hesitation in saying that U; 11, Iayes Is my own cholco above another men, ut after him I am for the nominee of the iutlonal Democratic party: and in thisconlectlon I would say that there is no doubt hat Grant will be the Republican nominee, nd the only hope for the Democratic party s to oppose him with a champion of theelvlc Jen. This is most probable, and It Is strange hat u man with the acuteness of Alexandt-i ttepliens should think to the contrary and dvocute so strenuously the cause of Hanock. It would never do to oppose Grant rith another soldier. He Is an eagle's tllghl bove any otlierNorthern man as a military Igure, and Hancock would he dwarfed. It Is inly when we eomo to Grant's civil life thai lis character becomes dark. For this civil xponent, however, give us anybody but 'llden. He Is a coward, and Americans, you ;now, never forgive cowardice." The reporter then inquired as to the State lolitlcs fn South Carolina, and the Judge was n liis element. "Y.ou must know, sir, that there are three nethods of dealing with the negro votershree methods: One is to kill him. At tlx iresent price of metallic cartridges?VX centt -this can be done choapiy and easily; bul his method has objectionable points. The ibtrusive character which the United State? ;overnment has assumed, and the genera trejudice against cold-blooded murder whicli trangel.v Inheres in honorable men. are tnong them. The next method is to defraud he negro of his vote, hut tills not only de rades the defrauded but the defraudor; and gain, honorable men do not like to degrade ir be degraded. The last is tne persuusivt netliod. by which the negro vote U mlldlj easoned Into the conviction that the whlti rmn will) whom tils lot In ?:n*t is Ills riatura Uy.
