iw < 1.LLL.-?T?" fhe Press and Banner. By IIu^li Wilson and H. T. "ftarillftTr. Wednesday, April 26, 1882.' . The Porseculiou of Democrats. ; To illustrate the short-sightedness ?>rj man, when ho attempts to look into! the future, it is only necessary to refer J "the rert'.ier to the fact of the recent ( change in the* public sentiment of: South Carolina, which has been so un | expected ly h-ought about by the Re-j' '^tiblieali Court now sitting in Charles-' ton for the purpose of persecuting Democrats because of their poli'ieal faith. One month ago the slgnsof a division in the Democratic party were plainly to be seen, and citizen" in various-parts of the Stale were already preparing for the inaiururation of a "campaign upon broader and better principles,and one which would inevitably purify the ballot box in South Carolina. The Republicans at Washington seeing and kmwing the pros-' poet of this continued improvement of our local affairs, ond realizing the fact that without makin? war on some of the Southern States that tlu-ir power in the North would wane, they besought themselves to set in motion j ^Binne device by which they might be, " continued in po'wer. In their councils the-great success which followed their former onslaughts on the South, was remembered, and tlrcy on this ac-j "count, determined to persecute the Democrats of this State, and by false ^ -swearing, and a malicious perversion 'of facts, to convict our citizens by] packed juries. That the juries, were packed, and were drawn for the. Wicked and malicious purpose of con- J victingour people for political reasons,; we presume no one?not even the; Court itself?will deny. The result 1 lias been, to solidify and unify the. Democratic party in South Carolina,: as it has not been since 1S7G. The pro- j ceedings as published in the Xctosand^ Courier, of the Republican Court now j attemntinir to convict Democrats of; infamous crimes which they did not' "commit, is enough to awaken nil the] latent hatred of everything pertaining! to the Republican patty, or their nd- [ ministration of the laws. Hon. Samuel W. Melton, a son of South Carolina, formerly respected for his high char-i 'atter, his natural endowments, and! his legal attainments, in the hope that | he may succeed the Judge who is soon i to vacate his seat in the Republican' ^Court,appears as prosecutor,and there! *Vlefaw?es his mother, while trying to' 'convict his former friends and neighbors before packed juries. The iniq-i uity of the proceeding stinks to heaven and no true Carolinian can fail to ' despise a son who would desert her at! this hour of her peril. The Political Court now sitting in Charleston, and before which the Hon. Samuel W. -Melton is pouring out his vials of wrath upon unfortunate Carolinians, whatever the eftVct abroad, will makej "us fight our political foes, more with the intention of beating them down, llian with any regard for the means' employed. Every man in South Car-; olina claiming the least intelligence knows the Charleston Republican Court was sent here to inaugurate the campaign of 18S2, and every man possessing any degree of common .sense' knows that thecoaviclion of our people will not remedy the alleged evils -of which complaint is made. The use) of bayonets anywhere is not pn)iular| at the North, and hence the Court is used for the dirty purpose of attempting to break up the Democratic party. Before these trials were commenced a division in our ranks was imminent ?a division, too, which augured well for South Carolina?a division which "would purify the ballot-box?a division which would make our criminal Courts the protector as well as the punisherof the weaker citizen?a division which would enforce the law for crimes against the person?a division which would create that-healthy public sentiment which would punish a white man for assault upon the person, yea, even for killing a negro. The Democratic party of South Car-j x)lina has instituted many wise and! much needed reforms, and hasenacledj many of the best laws on tlie Statute I toooks, while the usefulness of the! schools hai been greatly increased, and! the taxes have been reduced to onehalf. but it must be admitted that the Courts and juries do not enforce the criminal laws. No white man in this] icounlry, since 1S76, has IkkI any renv; cause to fear conviction for the killing! of his neighbor, and althougb-Giirexchanges,-almost daily jornlsh the details of the most urutai murders, yet i we very .sgidotu hoar of any whole-1 soine hangings. To remedy all the evils of which we; ?" 4?ive spoken is certainly a consummation devoutly wished, and the 'remedy can come only when the people of South Carolina are left free from .Radical interposition, and can with safety divide among tltemselves, and ;go before the Voters, where a fair expression of their will can be had. The Press and Banner says: "We fciave no right to use the Legislature! to reward political ends or to head off! 'our political adversaries. Let us act so fairly and lwiiorably with all classes| x>f our people that the Democratic party may gain a lirm hold on the -hearts of our people. No political party can live by partisan legislation. The eternal principles of right must not be forgotten if we would perpeualel good an honest government in South ] Carolina. While there maybe good | -and urgent reason for calling an extra | session of the Legislature, yet we should be sorry indeed if Governor Hagood should announce that an extra' session of that body was called in order that the Democratic party may gain two representatives in Congress." The proposition of our contemporary i is eminently correct, but its applica-j lion is erroneous. A new apportionment is not partisan legislation. It is] merely removing a Radical gerry-j mnnder, by which it is Imped to steal j Congressmen in several districts. After the proceedings in the United] States Court, does the I'rcxtt ana tsan ncj, belies we should give the Radicals a?y advantage? The above paragraph we take from 'the Winnsboro yews and Ilerul.il No ; j Ave do not belive the Ryd'cals should j take any advantage of us in any par-. ttenlar. The fact is, after the .packing' 'of the Juries, and tlie political bias of the Court, we are not sure that they 'deserve more than half a chance. Let j us re-district or do anything else that j will secure Democratic rule. The con-! <cluct 'of th-e Court in Charleston is merely apolitical machine with Re-, publican juries to convict such Democrats as tl>e 'Radicals may indicate.) Congress would Leas just if it were to. enact a law forbidding Democrats to j 'sit on juries? prohFbithig them from: electing any of the membersof that; party to ottice. For malignity, injustice, and disgraceful conduct in general, the Court now setting in Charleston surpasses any drum head couit martial ever lveld. <S?> in Ihft FfoI(L i AtlUtilVl MIVUIWV.^ ( Slsewhere in the Pnrsn and Banner it will be seen that General R. II. Hemphill has been announced as aj candidate for the Senate at the next election. The General is "well known j to our people as a politician, lawyer and editor. As an editor he is out- j spoken as a lawyer he is faithful to his 'clients, and as a politician his oratory; -and his eloquence is effective, and while a member of the Wallace House aud the Legislature of 1878-'70 he was' mcUrv, zealous and useful. Connty Convention. Next Monday has liceu set apart as I the day on which the County Demo-, era!in Club is lo he re-organized, and i as that time approaches our people; seem to he njore and more awakened j to the importance of the work, which | they must u<\ and the great necessity | of choosing wise and discreet officers! has been impressed upon many. Politically speaking, our people appear to recognize the fitfet that we are on llie eve of a crisis, and that a proper choice of a wise and conservative leader. Around whom all the people may rally, is of the utmost importance. Much of this feeling is due to the faithful and full reports as published in the XaCi anl ('ottrirr of the pro ceedings ot the iCo|>ni>lica:i ^'ourtj which is tow sitting in Charleston for j the trial of Democrats charged with j participation in the election of ISSt). This Court will rtoworc to solidify the Democrats, and to intensify their j hatred to our political oppressors at; Washington, than all the Democratic I speeches which could hav* been de-j livered in the State between new and i the first of November. The faint cry by white men which hud been rahs'ed against the Democratic party in dif-J ferent parts of the State will be hushed j and any further opposition to the De-j mocracy in South Carolina will be* re-1 garded as open warfare on the party, and the participators will be treated j with no more consideration than is due to public enemies or to office-seeking Democratic deserters to the Radical camp. Seeing this condition of affairs eve are firmly of the opinion that the best councils of our people will prevail, and that the best and most satisfactory leader will be chosen for Abbeville county. The county chairmanship is emphatically an office not to be sought for personal advantage in the campaign, but it is one which should be accepted only tonne puouc goo?i, i and for the purpose of teaming the! whole people. If the President of the j Club should actually be the best man in the county, while suspected of belonging to any ring of office-grabbers he can serve us less 'effectively than j could a worse man whose conduct would not be doubted. If any considerable nuniberof our people believe that one of the candidates would use the olfire, more for his own advantage, than for public good, he should not be elected. While saying this, we are free to say, as we said last week, that we cannot believe thai either of the gentlemen would contr> <ln nnvthiMir wrnnsr. Tn ,,v ry O the past horrid stories have been told of packed conventions, and corrupt bargains between office seekers in the matter of speculating in the votes of thepeople, through their representatives in convention, and for this reason we would warn our delegates against the merest possibility of being carried away by feeling, prejudice, or personal favoritism, or even by any bargain, or tlirough the force of personal appeal. Let us start right. To do tins it will require on the part of delegates to the convention, nerve, good judgment, and a conscientious discharge of their duty. We want unity, harmony in the party, and in order that this may be secured we want the truest and most intelligent sense of the convention. Let it not be forgotten that if there should be contention for the office, for personal reasons, that the angel Gabriel would And it difficult to fill the office to the satisfaction of the defeated faction. What we want is, a fair, full and independent vote, and we believe that we know both candidates well eimugto to say that they desire tne same-. Let peace, moderation and good will mark the day and distinguish us fcr patriotism and wisdom, and car determination to do the right. - <M> Pic Nic and Railroad Jollification".

GUITEAU AT TRATER. One Colored Preacher His Onlj Spiritual Consoler?His Kealtli Good. ' Washington*, April 15.-?In coftsnltation with General Croker, the warden of} the jail, as to tin* actions ami condition of Guiteuu, he said that a remarkable change bad of late eome over the conduct of his prisoner; that he had now etui rely given! up hope as to any favorable action of the Court in Ikihc, but still believed that President Arthur would look favorably upon his case and pardon liitn. A day or two ago Guiteau said to him, "I would', rather hang on the 30th < f June than be i imprisoned for life." "lias any minister called to see Qui- | te.ni to oiler him spiritual consolation?" asked a correspondent. j "One only, and he ? colored preacher. : He came in otto day in company with an- 1 other colored man, and asked me if he , could see Guiteau, and said ho was a preacher. I said, 'Certainly,' and took him to the cell and said, 'Here, (Juitean, 1 is a colored minister come to see ' you.' Guiteau looked pleased, and the ( preacher was ushered into thetJVecell and said, 'Mr. (Juiteau, I have 'come to pray, with you.' lie then kneeled, andlJui-; tean, without saving a word, knelt by his 1 side. The colored man, for ten minutes,;, offered up a most pathcthic pravor for |i;iruun iiuu itiuri-y n>r niti wrtwaini sin at Ills side. At its conclusion Guiteau' heartily said 'Amen,' and thanked tl?o| ( colored preacher." "And no white ministers of any de-: nomination have called ?" "Not one, and I am the more surprised j at this because it had been loudly herald- , ed i'roni pulpits that when Guiteau was scntonced the world would see the Christian ministry flocking to offer him spiritual consolation." "Does Guiteau ever pray ?" "Yes, at least he says I asked him the other day if he prayed, and he said : 'Yes. every iriglit.' But I don't hero you, Guiteau. *1 don't pray aloud, he responded." "How is his health?" . "Well, he is a pood deal better than he ' has been. lie will weigh now about 141 pounds. IIis moustache has grown out since lie was shaved for the plaster fist and he looks decidedly bettor." "Is ho allowed any but prison fare." No, nor never has had any other during his confinement in jail. A great' many stories have been published about hi1? sumptuous fare, but they are all false, and he has never had onfy the prison food." "Will Guiteau die game?" "I think he will. I do not think there is any sentimental clap trap about him, and my own impressions from daily observation, are that he knows he has got to hang. While hcstill clings to tho hope j of Executive clemency when talking of it, deep down in his heart I am satisfied he.feels that there is no hope." I "Does he ever speak of his deed in tones of regret?" | "Never. I have never heard him utter : a syllable of remorse or repentence for ! the* deed in the many conversations II | ha\'4 had with him." "Have you made any arrangements for I the execution ?" ; "iNo, nut yet. more win ne uiuuie usual number allowed by the law, which in ithe District limits them f<> what is called [thejury, to witness the execution. Oh! of course, among that jury will be a limited number of newspaper men. Come out sometime soon, and have a long talk with Guiteau." Col. Stribling's Experiment With Ensilage Most Satisfactory. [Anderson Intelligcnccr.] Mr. Editor: In answer to the request of "Several Farmers," in year last issue, in regard to my experience with ensilage, I am glad to say that the ensilage has given entire satisfaction to rue, and thatl expect to continue making my forage and I storing it in very much tho "same way as |lust year, except that I will sow every other row in peas at the saiYie time I plant mv corn fodder, and will cut and mix the pea vines in with the corn fodder. The pea vines will enrich the feed, and will make the corn pack closer in the pit. , The peas growing on the land also leaves I roots and otherwise improves tho land. | The objections to making 'enwlage out of I pea-vines entirely are, the Vines art; not only very expensive to handle, but they are extremely hard to run through the I cutting machine. By mixing the vines j and corn together in the machine the corn i will assist in pulling the vines through I the cutter. [ The only patent objection I have noticed | in tho extensive use :>f ensilaga North is, : that it conies in wnen they are busy with j their other crops; but this is no objection | with Vis, as we can plant our crop of forage so that it will come in when our other crops are out of our way. Say we plant ; so as to fill the silo first of September. 1 ? ? -- :l I ji commenced 10 leeu <ji? mc 120th of November, and fed it continually and almost exclusively until the 7th of ! April, at which time it gave out, and I am j sure my stock could have done about as well without any dry forage as they did J with the little they got. At first some of I the stock eat it well-, but some did not un| til it was mixed with bran or meal. After a few days of coaxing in this way all my stock?mules, cows, calvcs,"and horse?eat it as well as one could wish. One of the greatest advantages I can see in the ensilagiVig of crops 1s. that ono is sure of all tho forage lie grows. There is no risk in getting sonic of it?perhaps half?spoiled by rain ; nor is there waste in feeding, (half of the dry corn stalks are wasted in feeding.) In conclusion, it is best to say that the ensilage process is not one by which something ran be made from nothing. It is simply a sure and simple way of preserving all the forage one can grow. It does away with tho necessity of any farmor bu.vinsr forage, as any one who can dig a hole in the ground can make a silo, and^ anyone who can cut corn fodder, or otjjGr | green crops, into particles one-half or an j inch in length, can fill the sU<?. For description of silo, growing -tfio crop with which to fill it, Ac., At1.', I refer to article published in the Intelligence)' last of October, 1SS1.

Stiiiblino, Pendleton, S. C. ? Plain and Pointed. Tho editor of the Greenville News thinks for himself and never hesitates to "speak out in meetin," caring nothing, apparently, as to who is offended. Tins is his last on the Richland election cases: "The people of South Carolina have good right to hate District Attorney Melton. He would not have been blameable or justly despised if he had prosecuted vigorously, for he is a prosecutingofHcer, and bad a prima facie case. We have a right to complain however, because he overstepped the requirements of his duty, and deliberately sought to secure n jury that he knew would not render a fair verdict. He was sworn to see that offenders were brought to justice. He was not s"worn to violate justice and the spiiitofthe law by packing the jury with men who he was perfectly sure would convict despite any evidence or pleading. The fact that the men on trial were his own neighbors and friends adds another count to the indictment the people will draw against him. He has not only dealt unfairly in the performance of his duties, but has done so against men he professed friendsnip for and whoso high character he knew. Whether ho served such officious zeal for hire or Irate is equally bad, and -merits the unqualified coYidemnation of every fair man. "V\ e regret that our fellow citizens in Columbia should have talked of burning Mr. Melton in efftgy. That is not a manly or Anglo-Saxon way of dtriug business, especially when the individual whose counterfeit it is proposed to incinerate is present every day, and can bo made to feel the disgust of his fellows every hour, without tiie violation 01 imy mw\ "In this connection, we regard the treatment of Mr. Dallas Sanders as unfortunate and unwise. lie is a stranger sent here to a disagreeable duty, auu, as far as we can see, has done it like a gentleman. Mr. Haskell's attack on Mm was unnecessary and ungraceful, and can only result in harm if it has any result at all. Abuse of the attorney on the other side is recognized as the last resort in a desporate case. As a stranger, a lawyer and a gentleman, Mr, Sanders was entitled to consideration and courtesy, and ho was made the object of a bitter personal attack. This savors too much of knock down argument!and methods to be-cither pleasant or creditable." Tlic Columbia Canal What it Illustrates. [Gcoyctoun Times.) The Columbia Canal furnishes a1 striking illustration of one of the| chief causes that operates to prevent i the development of the resources of; this State. No w>oner is the enterprise placed upon firm basis, and there | is a reasonable certainly of its being: brought to a successful completion, | than it receives a staggering blow from | from the very persons who should be j its foremost friends. The most exhor-j bitant charges are being made for the; vioJil iif vvjiv hv rlh? t?!?i tifs thmuuh ' whose lands the Canal is to run, not1 because of any serious damage to re- j suit to tliem, but simply because they ! have the chance of enriching them- j selves at the risk of hopelessly crippling j un important public enterprise. Their j lands have all allong been comparative''-; ly valuless but ix>\v that they have an i opportunity from the necessity of'the. cause of attaching fabulous -prices to them, they appear to be perfectly forgetful of every other-consideration ex-' ce.pt that of promoting their own selfish inter* sis. Such a disposition on the part of our people is very much to be regretted, for as long as it exists any ' thing like subtantiul progress in this , State in the way of development is, simply impossible and need not be I expected v j< The Boy.

But as I propose further on in this essay to treat more at length of the habits and peculiarities of the Coy, I will revert agiln to his origin. THAT T?K BOY WAS NOT MADE AMONG TIIF. TIIK FIIIST, nor even at the same time with any of the other creatures, but wasentirely a subsequent consideration, we have the most convincing circumstantial evidence It cannot be supposed that he existed during the formatlvo period of creation, while matter was yet plas-1 tic and before it had burdened into orgunlc. i life. For if he had existed then, possessing so much innale thoughtlessness and careless-1 ne?s as he docs, would he not haVc overturned j the whole establishment and left it In one mass of confusion? Or. possessing s;uch a! gre?t Instinctive propensity to gratify his) natural curiosity, would nothisflnger marks have been lnde.lbl.v impressed upon every thing that came within his reach? Hut some] objector w ill ask, "if there, w.rs no boy then how i will you explain the fact tha.t r.-.bblts have! 110 tails ? Or, who plucked out the tiill of the j bunty hen ? or who knocked off the mufy cow's horns?" Well. It must be confessed ; tlrat these look wonderfully like th<* pranks, of h Boy. But the proof to the contrary is so i convincing that we are obliged to refer I hem t to the apparent wUims of Nature, which j makes things to differ simply that they may he different. Would not the fraternal relation*, whicli existed in Paradise soon have censed to be fraternal, had t he Roy been pre-J sent? Would he and Fldo not have formed an ; alliance, which would have made old Tabby : "git. up and Kit"? And would not the robin | and lark have had to hideout; while the Hazard as he basked in the sunshine of oblivious contentment, would have had to keep onej eye on duty whilst the otjier slept? And even theoM bull-frog perched upon his little, tussock, as lie warbled forth his notes of: praise and thanksgiving, would have had to liavc kept his eais well open to catch the; stca'thy footfalls of the Hoy. as (with stone In j band) he crept softly up behind a neighboring < log. And who can believe, (if a stone could I have been found) that old Jack would not have j been moping about the grounds with but one i eye ? The pig wl'tli his legs done up in splints i would have been hobbling around on crutches.1 Willie the Boy would prove an expert In all of the above particulars, it wou'd be In the character of a Ratnsy Sniffle (see Georgia Scenes) that he would appear most at home. For him to originate a difllculty between the patriarchs of the herd or of the flock would attbrd genuine p-leasure; and from some place of safety to witness thetn test the hardness of their hedds would furnish hi in intlnitedelight. But the crowning argument, and the last I shall offer, that THE HOY WAS THE LAST OF ALL THINGS CHEATED, is that the apple was left to ripen before it was pulled. Had t:ierc been a boy present, that apple would have dlsappersd before it lalrly turned. Of course, the Boy would have ass-erted his own lntrtfcency, and saddled noti on me monkey. wno is second only to tbo Boy in his pranks. So wo may safely conclude that the Boy was not In the garden. Hui after every tiling else had been made and the entire machinery put into full operation, then the hoy made his appearance. From tlrnt timetintil N'mih entered the Ark we have the most uhmitjiakirbte evidences of his presence. That HE WAS NOT ADMITTED INTO THE ARK, wo feel assured ; fur while the Ark was amply sufficient to hold all of the beasts both clean and unclean ; yet if the Boy had been crowded in, loriy-eijiht hours would not have passed before each a silr would have hecn created among the animals, that while the Boy clinging in salety to a raltcrubqye,enjoying the uenera! confusion below, old Noah would have been seriously considering whether 1t would bo better for him t>> he drowned outside or devoured alive inside. Then what became of the Hoy ? lie wi.s evidently not drowned nor devoured by the beasts in the ark ; for as noon as the dry land appeals, the Boy appears also. It would be hard to makea railroad conductor of the present day believe that if Noah had searched I the nooks and coriurs outside the ark. he would not have discovered the Boy llxed up for a free ride. From the Hood through all of the succeeding generations, up to the present time, the Boy has given the fullest evidence of his presence. \V e have now concluded the ! history of the boy's origin. In treating ul his habits and peculiarities, THE SUDJECT NATUIIALLY DIVIDES ITSELF INTO TIIKEE DISTINCT l'EHIODS which we will consider separately. The first period is the time which elapses between the aces of twelve and six teen year*; ihe second, between sixteen and eighteen ; and (he third period Is from eighteen until he developed .Into u man, which ordinarily tnlfcs place Between* the ages of twenty-one aird twenty-live, depending entirely upon the amount of common sense which he has at his command. We wllj-jfifte i the average boy as we ton re in collect with! him In our every day Intercourse, leaving enough of margin on the on<rfiand for thovc whoare better, and on th^uUfer for th se who arc worse. ,? Ths first tiling ;/e notice as characteristic of the RoyjcTHE FIRST PERIOD IJS-'Els hat. which though not an old one has tlie gri ater i art of tho crow'n torn out and with oulv a few detached pieces of the l?rlm left. This dilapidated (state of tilings was brought about by a recent effort on the part of the Coy to teach his friend Fido to fetch and carry. He only taught him to carry, however. Rut If there is any mi'e thing more characteristic or him in this stage of his existent* than another, It Is his pants and the manner in which he wears them. Kach le:: is rolled up just high enough not to hide the Iiitkc patches of new cloth of dlflerentcolors which adorn theknets. And as his pants ate entirely destitute of buttons, they are held together at tfce top by a skewer manufactured out of a slx-penwv nail, to which Is also attached the front end of one suspender. The othersuspender serves to hold the tongue of his wagon in its pace. Now let him face about a liltleaml you M ill see that the other end of the former suspender Is fastened to another skewer similar to the one mentioned above. We will also find . two more patches, if any thine, larger than1 those In front. But without stopping to locate them, we will pass to the contents of his pockets, which as curiosities are only second to the Boy himself. Upon examination, the first thing discovered Is a whirligig made of the bottom of an okl blacking box. Then coines his sllnger made of a piece of leather with strings attached to each e'nd ; after that a ham e-M ring which his father has been inquiring about for the last three days. This latter constitutes his whip thong, though lie never uses it about the house for reasons best known to himself. Then come whlp-lashes and old shoe-strings without number, toward ; the bottom,an old knife-blade; and last, but; not least In his estimation, are several nails. some sharp and others n little flattened at the end. With these Ire picks out his walnut und hickory-fiit goodies. In the other pocket are a set of new trap-triggers, Ills quills for blowing, and half n dozen old dry ribs from the I carcass of a dead horse. These last he calls his bones and prizes them very highly. IT we will prosecute our examination a little further. we will be sin e to find the nail Humped off of a roe of r>ne foot and n stone bruise on the heel of the othet. There Is nothing which n boy dislikesmore than washing lilsi lace In the morning, unless It tie washing his feet at night. If any one doubts the existence of A SPECIAL PROVIDENCE IN BEHALF OF THE BOY, we refer him to the many narrow escapes lie makes In turning the sharp; angles In the progress of events, with ! only a skinned nose, a blackened eye. or u patched head. Otherwise for these light ->fflictions would be substituted broken Minis, broken heads, and brolcen necks. During this stage of the Hoy's existence he makes his Urst acquaintance with the world around him; und as he has no experience of his own, he takes hokl of and approni lutes to himself every thing that Is new and striking. Ilence i we And him Imitating the vices rather than! the virtues of those with whom he associates. [ After two years experience, when he has: fmichnrl ttiA Intlnr rmrf rW tlilu Itrcl etairo t\f . boyish existence, another examination of] pockcis will reveal a wonderful chance. The ! whirligig, strings, and nails have all disap- I pea red : mid in llielr stead will he found an ; old pi.pe, crumbs of tobacco, u few slumps of Ciimrs. ni? ?-l. likely a pack of cards, and an| t>ul pistol. Iiefore starting for the cows In the afternoon he Is sure to udd a few matches, j He Is hardly ou'tof sight befoie he lights up i his old pipe, or the stump -of a cigar. At th<ls age healso learns to rhrw tobacco ; and when' he gets ofl to himself he tries to curse a little;, which is fjulteawkwnrd and startling to him-; self at first. These little .accomplishments he ! thinks necessary to buck up the soft and ten- j der down which be has discovered breaking out upon his chin and upper lip. lie now approaches THE SECOND TERIOD mentioned above. Into which he passes by snch easy gradations that you would hardly 6uspect the fact, were it not for the smell of cologne with which he has saturated his ban- j danua and the amount of sweet smelling oils! with which he has perfnmed his hair. What | wonderful results would lie accomplished, if a hoy during this stage of his life would pull even one half of the c ire and labor on lite in ) side of his head which he bestows on the out | side, if you were to examine his pockets again, you would find at least your double | handful of kiss versos and pieces of poetry cut from newspapers,and, It may be, an effort. I on his part at an acrostic on the name ofl his sweet-heart. You are surf, to find a roee- i bud pinned to the lapel of his'ooat. And as ! he is a school boy at this age.

The darkle true to his instinct had rendered service only to the extent of a nicUle's worth, by leaving the buggy where he found It and hitching "Ginger IJlue" to shiver ail night In a fence corner. Hubha was informed that a passing vehicle had broken one of the shafts of his buggy and that a mule'cw.t had used his bl'gciy lines AS A SUBSTITUTE FOK CHEM'ING Qt'M. Going out for the first time since Ms arrival, he finds things exactly as represented. As lie took in the situation, the parting advice of his father loomed up before his mind rather! unpleasantly.

Taking Into account ihc Intellectual distance between Mellon andHunders, It is not stranue that the District Attorney should have assimilated his assistant and made him a vague shadow of himself. The District Attorney made his plaint. Mr. Sanders now'avers that he has been "villltied anil abused." It suits him to say so. In this latitude it Is not the habit to make a boast of such things, or to whine about them. We know that there was a general disposition here to make much of Mr. Sanders, and It \vas expected of hlin that he would do his whole duty. Like the District Attorney he exceeds his duty. Mr. Panders was not avowedly sent heietopack Juries, and contrivc the conviction of innocent Democrats. Mr. Sanders thinks that It would be better to treat "this great Government, and Its representatives with a more ceiierous nnnd, and "not to iniuse Into the minds of the people of "South Carolina a hatred of the General Government." The Government Is respected, but Mr. Sanders Is not the Government. The people can despise pettiness and meanness without haling Ihe Government. Ilcaven forefend that Mr. Sanders should. In any scnse.be regarded as anything more than a small Incident of a great oacaslon. The white people of South Carolina are neither treacherous nor deceitful. Appropriations for the Charleston Jetties and for the public schools are asked for. because It Is to the interest of the country at iar^e as well as of Charleston that the entrance to the harbor be improved, and the means ol educating the to petition Congress that we have to that Inir trial which Mr. Sanders denies to our people. There is no Inconsistency In exercising the one right and demanding the other, although Mr.Sanders Insists that we mustdlslike the Government, beciu?o we do not like hhn. It docs not follow. Had Mr. Sanders behaved In "an orderly, time-honored manner," and conducted the prosceutlons"ln the customary "way In which cases have been tried for over "two hundred years," no word of criticism would huve been breathed. What causes him to be ccn.-ured Is th" Inexpugnable fact that, he violated propriety and tailored the law, In bis frantic endeavor to earn the thank* of his employers.

The necessity of the movement is stated to he the action of the American Bible Society in refusing co-operation with Baptists except on humiliatingconditions. The Uev. It. S. McArlhur, pastor of Calvary Chuicb, explained yesterday that up to 1*35, tiie Baptist Church cordially co-npcratcd with the Bible Society, but niter that time, owinc to 'he refusal of the society to circulate translations of Ihe IJlbie Into foreign languages made by Bsiptlst scholars, the support of that church was large alienated. The result wiyj jju\c>uiidi_siw}ieu^sf elgu Bible Society,and later on, the American Bible Union. It wits the laiter so? lely that led In Ihe movement lor a revision of Ihe English translation of Ihe .Scrip!ures. The vcrMon known as the Bible Society, whose high scholarly character is now added was the result- About thiee years ago a conference of eminent Baptist minisieisand laymen was held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to rc-cstnb'dNh cordial rdailons between the 'hureli and Ihe American Blb'e Society. The understanding then was that ihe policy of Ihe society would bd more liberal.and that it would not object to using its funds to supply Baptist mlssfonarlcs with the translations required by them which translated the<3reck work "baptize,' "Immerse." Recently the society has returned to Its old policy, and hence the present movement. Its outcome will probably l>e that the llihie work of the Baptist Church will be carried on through the Baptist Board of Publication at Philadelphia, and In foreign lands through the American Missionary Union at Huston. It. Is more Hum likely that the English version adopted will he the present revised version, with the mites of the American revisers Incorporated In the text. This does not translate the Greek verb 'baptize'' ''immerse," but "baptize In water." Col. Sam TVallin^ford.
