Gentlemen, If you have the spare time, and think you would not be disgusted if a buckof of slush were thrown over you, read what Mr. Shell has to say of the government of South Carolina. It really seems that such misrepresentations and such appeals to the ignorance and prejudice of the country would disgust anybody. a oimiinr mnnifesto was Issued two years ago, just In time to re elect Governor Richardson. We think that the Governor, or any other officer, need not hold his office for a second time by virtue of his having once been elected. but we take no stock in the vllllflcatlon of a gentleman because he has been entrusted with an office. In former years we were led to believe that at least sonr.e gentlemen get office, but according to Mr. Shell, quite another set get the offices and places of honor. Senator McMaster's reply will furnish good reading. Death of m Abbeville Nun. Capt. E. B.Treutlen, formerly of Cokesbnry. Ik dead. He died at Salt Lake City of pneumonia. At the time of his death he held the position of post office inspector and chief of the Portland division, Tortiand, Oregon. The deceased was highly respected wherever known. Colonel Treutlen's many friends in this State will be pained to learn of his sad affliction in the death of his son. This, we believe, Is the third or fourth grown son that Colonel Treutlen has lost.

The Court has done but little business, and will try but one more case, for the simple reason that we had a limited number of cases, a majority of whom throw themselves on the mercy of the Court, and pleaded guilty of the crimes charged, as follows: Hllllard Johnson pleaded guilty of carrying concealed weapons. William Hurd pleaded guilty of assault and battery with intent to kill, and carrying concealed weapons. James Davenport pleaded guilty of larceny from the field. John Perry, charged with burglary ami larceny, pleaded guilty of lurceny. The only case which has gone to the Jury up to this time was tliat of the State oi .South Carolina against its humbie subject.'Sainuei Puekett, charged with malicious Injury to real estate. The following named jurors uerr called upon Id due solemnity to given true verdict, and a true deliverance make: F. M. Godbold, J. S. Hammond, J.G.Hamilton, W. 0. Sttirkey, F. E. Cowan, W. A.Illtt, W. it. Buchanan. W. T. Latimer, O. A. Vlsauskn, P. 11. McCashui, W. N. Hull, II. A Ten mint. We were not In Court and did not hoar the case, but we learn that this black citizen was charged with malice aforethought, in the act of pulling up six cotton stalks and wringing off the tops of four other stalks in a neighbor's field of cotton. This cose occupied the attention of tbe Court at the October term, but tbe Jury could not agree upon a verdict. This Jury, however, concluded to acquit the prisoner, and his Honor signed an order lor his release. The case of the State aealnstS. M. Millord. In which he is charged with murder, will be tried to day, and we presume the Court will adjourn Rlne die. Clerk T. L. Moore has received an order from Judge Norton to empanel a jury to ascertain the compensation which should be paid to F. A. Arnold for land which Is required by the O., C a N. Road. The Jury will be drawn by Clerk Moore next Tuesday. This Is tbe last term of the Court at which Judge Aldrlch will preside. He that has for so munv tours r>mnn In nnil fouo out from among us will do so no more. On the Htli of February his term of ofllce will expire. The last of the old Judges retires from active service, when he lay* down his robes ol office?which are spotless. His o'd associates and comrades on the Beuch have long sluce appeared at another bar for Judgment. He alone Is preserved. But he Is now an old man. physically enfeebled by the infirmities of age. He was proud and brave in his youth. In the strength of his manhood he was strong and courageous to do the right. And his course lias completed a record of which South Carolina and the Bench of the Slate may well be proud. No man has assailed his fair fame. Even his enemies save his character from calnmny. When his past manhood Is remembered and when his illustrlouscareer as an upholder of the honor of South Carolina Is recalled,a feeling of respect and sorrow is present. It Is sorrowful to know that the infirmities ofazecnll for his retirement from tiie scenes which he loves so well, and It Is a source of regret that his feebleness of person excludes him from the arena In which he has been so long and so conspicuous an honorable figure. South Carolina honors Judjje Aldrlch. Abbeville county respects his bravery, his integrity, his patriotism, and the purity of his official and private character. THE NEW RAILROAD. Contractor Donnelly Making Preparations for Still More Active Oner atlonn. The work of grading the G., C. & N. road in the Incorporate limits of the t'>wn is being carried on with energy and eltcct. For about oue mile or more the route is one busy scene ?men, mules, carts, plows, scrapers, picks, 6hovels,?all working with might and main, with but. a sinulc object in view. Hundreds of our fellow-citizens turn out daily to see I hework going on, and the number of ladies and children who go In constantly increaslus numbers In witness the pleasing spectacle present to the admiring bachelor a scene ul infinite loveliness and beauty, while In the clouds of flying dirt the (imagination looks for palatial coaches and crowded cars?for immense trains aud mogul engines, as they come thundering along drawing trains laden with living freiglit or tilled with costly stores. Between Ix)ug (Jane aud Greenwood the track Is being levelled by many hands. In the town of Greenwood other workmen are proparing the way for the iron rails. Beyond Greenwood the line of road is lined with men and mules as far as the Saluda. Going west lrom the Poor House at Abbeville, an army of men are celling ready to grade the road to the river. They have camps and quarters at the Haskell placc. Mr. Donnelly's camps and headquarters are a little more than a mile west of Abbeville. The deepest cut on the roa l hereabout is 2s feet through the hill near the I'oor House. Long Cane will be crossed on an iron bridge, fifty feet above the water. The big gulley on the back of the Thomson estate has been fliled with dirt which was tukon out of the track on eilberslde. The track will pass over the public road leading to the Blue Hill, on a trestle. Just now excations are being made in rear of Judge Colhran'8 house. W8z': '' 'm' ; IT SOUNDS LIKE TILLMAN. . | MR.

Shell, of Laurens, president c?! the Fanners Assucinlion of South Carolina, reouests the Xtws a,id Courier tj publish the lolowlns.' adilros : To the Democracy of South Carolina: For four years I he Democrat if party in the state lias lieen deeply imitated, ami tllorlv have heen made ui liie primaries and conventions tosecure retrenchment and relortn. and a recognition of tlie need* and riulilsof tinrnass'jH. The first. Farmers Convention nut in April, 1SS<?. Another in November of the same year perfected a permanent organization under the name of the "Farmers Association ol r-nrotinn." This association, represent ing the reform element In the party, has held two annual session* since, and at each of these four con volitions, largely at tended t>y representative farmers from nearly all the counties, the demands of tlie people for greater economy in tiiegovernment,greater ellicirnc.\ m its ollicials, ami a fuller recognition of the necessity for cheaper and more practical education have been pressed upon ilie attention of our Legislators. In each of Die two last Democratic State Conventions the "farmers Movement'' lias had a largo following,and we only failed o; controlling the Convention of isss by a small vote?less than twenty-five?and that, too, in the faceol the active opposition of nearly every tmined politician in the State. We claim that we have always hail 11 majority of Unpeople on our side, and have only failed by reason of the superior political luetics of our opponents and our lack of organiz-ilion. 1 it moof of this we point to Abbeville and Chester. the only eountiesexceptCharhslon which had not already appointed delegates to the Slate Convention before the campaign meetings two years ago, at which Governor lliehardson spoke, iiotli of those counties, after hearing the Governor defend his policy and that of his faction,repudiated him and it, and he received only two votes from them. The executive committee of the Farmers Association did not deem it worth while to hold any convention last November, but we have watched closely every move of the enemies of economy?the enemies of agricultural education, the enemies of true JeliVrsonian Democracy?and we think the time has conicto show the people what it is they need and how to accomplish their desires. We will draw up the indictment against those who have been and arc still governing our State, because it is at once the cause and jostifica tioii of liie course we mienu 10 jiuimh-. South Carolina lias never had a real Hepub Ileati government. Since the days of the "Lords Proprietors" it lias been an aristocracy under the forms of Democracy, and whenever a champion of the people has attempted to show them their riuhts and advocated those rights an aristocratic oligarchy lias bought liino with nn otliec, or failing in that turned loose the floodgates of misrepresentation and slander in order to destroy his Influence. The peculiar situation now existing in the State, requiring the united ell'orts of every true while man to preserve white supremacy and our very civilization even,has intensified and lended to make permanent the conditions which existed before the war. Fear of a divi-' sion among us and consequent return of negro rule has kept tiie people quiet, and tlicy have submitted to many grievances imposed by the rujing faction because they dreaded to risk such a division. The "Farmers Movement" lias been hampered aud leiarded in Its work by this condition of the public mind, nut we have shown our fealty to race by submitting to the edicts of the pai ty. and we intend, as heretofore, to make our tight inside tiie party lines, fueling assured that truth and Justice must llnall\ prevail. The results of the agitation thus far ire a I together encouraging. Inch by inch and step by step true Democracy?the rule of tinpeople?has won its way. NVe liaveearricd all the outposts. Only twostrongholds remain to be taken, a?:d with the issues fairly made up and plainly put to the people we have no fear of the result. The House of Iteprcsentatlves has bteu carried twice, and tit last held altera The advocates of reform and economy arc no longer sneered at as "Three for a quarter statesmen." They pass measures of economy which four years ago would have excited only derision' and with the Farmers Movement to strengthen their backbone have withstood the cajolery, threats and impotent rage of the old "ring bosses." The Senate is now the main reliance of the enemies of retrenchment ami reform, who oppose giving the people their rights. The Senate is the stronghold of "existing institutions,"and the main dependence of those who are antagonistic to aii process. As we captured the House we can capture the .Senate; but we must control tlio Democratic state Convention before we can hope to muke economy popular in Columbia, or be assured of no more pocket vetoes. The General Assembly is largely Influenced by tb? ?d?*a. -and policy of the State oiileeis. "trrt'we must elect those before we can say the Farmers Movement has accomplished its mission. It is true that we h ive wrenched from the aristocratic coltM'ie who were eduealed at and sought to monopolize everything for tin South Carolina College, the right to control , (he land scrip and llatch fund and a part ol the p 1\llcge tax on fcrtil./.eis for one year, and we have sflO.WK) with which tocommi'isce building a i-epiiratiMigrlcultural college, w here ihc sons of poor farmers <mii get a practical eilueation at small expense. liut wedaie not relax our i fiort or rely upon LUC lUUlt |)IWK7MWin U1 VJIU U|.'^?iiii;uir< ?.- ?? their willingness now to build and ctiuip this agricultural school. Senator .Mc.Master, a trustee of the South Carolina College, gave voice to the sentiments and wishes which are prevalent at (lie I'niver.-iiy and Military Academy when lie "hoped to see the infernal Cleinson College sink out of sight next year." They all want to sink the "Internal Agricultural Collese out of si^ht," and it its friends do not rally once more to its support it will either tie destroyed or starved, so that it cannot do the great work it is expected to accomplish. All the cry about "existing institution*" which must remain inviolate shows that the ilntf?the South Carolina University, Ciladel. Agricultural liureau, Columbia Club. (jrtentield building ring?intend in the future, as in the past, to retail they can, and keep all tlie.v sjet. These pets of the aristocracy and its nurseries aie only hoping that the people will again sink into thelraceuMonied apathy. The mechanical departnient of the University was Hi veil an increased appropriation, and I hero i> :io thought of transferrin:; it to Fort Hill, al hou<;h the land scrip fund, which is sent there, was expressly donated for the purpose of iiicchanical a* well as agricultural cdueation, anil so with the experiment stations. The Hatch lund Is given to the (ieir.son Colle?e, but the stations are left at Columbia utid -iparlanbur!:, under the control of the South Carolina College.

We hold that the experimental work, I lie educatiounl work and the inspection and analysis of fertilizers can ali he more cttlclenlly and economically carried on under one hoard, mostly at one place, and much of It by the -aine corps of men who leach. We have neveranddo not now want any increase of taxes toaccomplish the.se ends. Hut our opponents having seized the opportunity aflorded by our agitation todouhlc the income ot the South Carolina College and call it a university, and in addition obtained the Hatch fund of S15.00U, donated for experiment stations, cry out: "Take von r I'i em son College! We will give joil sOSjUOO or Sl!KS,tKW, il you want it raised by taxation, but you don't touch existing Institutions." They have built with our bricks but say we must not lake !hem, but iliat we can build it we make others. Was there ever such impudence? They seized first the land sei i?> fund. Then they misappropriated the Hatch fund; they increased tlio taxes ?fii>,000 a year to equip and maintain the different departments of the grand 1'Diversity; the.v voted >ii",0i'0 in one lump without even adi\isiuti to rebuild, repair and equip the Citadel Academy, and then say tu taxpaylug farmers: "l.cave our oxiflint; institutions'1 atone.

I'ut your haads in your pockcts and pay for your <'lenison col'ego if you will have !!, and wo will vote the taxes. An analysis oi Ih>votc in the liousc ami Senate which defeated the consolidation of all our agricultural work shows thai the board and department o! am iculture are sustained by the lorlilizer manufacturers, the phosphate miners and the University and Citadel. II a farmer vote<l for its continuance it is because lie felt that the South Carolina University would lose ?ou.e'.Mug by abolition. The support of the fertilizer companies is easy to understand, 'i i.is bureau has been their nest friend. Year afl?*r year we h:?v? been told by Commissioner duller that the guanos inspected were below the guarantees, but nobody has been punished. In fact there is no adequate punishment lor selling fraudulent uuanos in this State. The bill prepared hy the committee of the Farmers Association lorllic reorganization of ilie board ot agriculture would have secured our farmers against swindling fertilizer dealers, but it was amended to dial It by the lawyers in the Senate, who :?r?- attorneys for the phosphate miners and fertilizer companies, and the men Who wore elected mi the hoard over the nominees of the Km mcrsCoiiwiiiion were chosen not because they me more loyal lo the agricultural interests, <>r bclU-r l:ti..d Car iiTmmii in iiiumn hi iim? for I lie position, but because they are friends of ihn University and belong or tire subservient u? ouraiistotTs?ey?"60 eftlled"?and the phosphate miners are I no well satistted with ilie s.x.s'.eiu <?f collecting the State royalty to permit a change if they can help it. Jiow wonderfully perfect or defective this system is, Is shown by the fact that during ten years under the same officials not a single indictment has liecn brought againstauy one for attempting tn swinitle the State out Of its lues. No wonder Charleston is in love with the agricultural bureau, and cannot, bear to see that vxlstin-.c Institution" disturbed. The mjent proposal to sell the Slate's Interest in the phosphate hods is fortunate, because lhereby the attention of taxpayers is attracted to iliis most important matter. The Furthers Association proposed in 1KSG to increase the royally as a means of lowering taxes, and we lielieve this can be safely done to the exit lit of '-1011,(10'I. A legislative committee was appointed to 'in vc-sl i.rate" and report on the subject. Tills was only done lo give time?waiting ten months until the market had been manipulated, etc. This committee proceeded to show how well it had been chosen "not to do it." i hern was an honeyt ellort made to net at the real facts as to the profits of the business and its ability to.stand an increase of royalty,and alter it had been "willed and dined" and brought into a suitable frame of mind that committee came to Columbia and actually proposed to give the six largest companies a monopoly for a less annual rental than the State was then receiving. Only one Senator, lo whom all honor is due, dissented from tills outrageous proposo). What was the result? Of course the General Assembly did not act favorably upon it, but all tliouglitcf an increase of royalty was also abandoned, and this was what the corporation attorneys who were there in the interest of their clients and not of their constituents had been working tor. "The goose that lays the golden egg" was not killed?"existing institutions" were not disturbed. Phosphide rock, which had been manipulated down to $3.40 per ton, advanced in two months after the Legislature adjourned to $0, and has since ruled between $5.00 and t'T.'iU per ton. The golden eggs are still being laid, but not in the State's nesl?whether some of them have not gone into pockets which they ought not Is an open question. Now we want to warn the people that the charter of the Coosa w Company?obtained by bribery, it is said, or a Radical Legislatureexpires in 1S01. This company, which has grown fabulously rich, claims to have u perpetual contract, with exclusive right to mine in Coosaw Itiver and pay only one dollar a - - tooUlntnrn IU11 lOl I1IU ilic HlAt ur^>Qi?>?> must net on this question,mill the next Attorney General may have to test these claims in Court. The whole question of phosphate management, or mismanagement, must be settled. Can the taxpayers afford to allow uny but true men to go to the Senate, or elect i corporation lawyer as Attorney General? Shall the politicians choose him, or shall we, casting atioul among the many honorable, patriotic lawyers of the State, make tlieselection ourselves? The Legislature which has Just adjourned has other sins to answer for, or rather theSenate must be held responsible. The people dematideil that the railroad commissioners should have something to do besides draw their salaries and spend them. We want prolection against the greed of the gigantic corporations owned at the North,'which regard south Carolina as a lemon to he squeezed and c ire nothing for the welfare of our towns, our State, our people. The railroad laws of 18? made the commission a power to defend the people against imposition. The same Legislature which enacted it, having been bamboozled or debauched, at the very next session left It only as a sinecure, with fat salaries anil no power. We have just seen the same disgraceful farce repeated. The law was vastly improved at the session of ISSS, but after a year which lias shown the weakness and unfitness of the present incumbents, lor they have done very lime, mo ncnuic pcrcmpiuri\y iviuaui Inake any changes. The railroad commissioners now in office have been "lamed," so to speuk, by the railroads, and men who have not been so long undi:r llieir wing might have done something in the interest of tlie people; but that same senate which l-.as again and again thwarted the people, whieh refuses to reduce salaries, which fought the Cleinson College and yielded at last to ncc<i-sity only, which is t he stronghold of aristocracy with Its non-progressive, iinpracMcable ideas, which, In a word, is dominated by Charleston's rich politicians?that Senate resolved to maintain this "existing institution," too, statu quo. Ol all the tuxes wo pay, the pensions to Confederate veterans are submitted to most willingly, and wc regret that we cannot increase the pittance thev receive. But the continuance of men in office as political pensioners, after their ability or wlllingr.ess to serve the people is gone?when the interests and even lights ol the people are thereby sacrlllced, this pandering to sentiment, this favoritismis a crime, nothing more and nothing less, itotatlon in office is a cardinal Democratic principle, and the neglect to practice It is the cause of many of the ills wc suffer. We cannot elaborate tin; other counts in this indictment. We can only point brielly to the mismanagement of the Penitentiary, which is a burden on the taxpayers, even while engaged in 110 public works which might benefit the .sitae. To the wrong commuted against the people ol iimny counties (strongholds of Democracy) by the failure to reappoi lion repI'cst'iiluiion according to population, whereby Chaiieslou has live votes In the llouse and lea votes in the .state Convention, which i'hoo*c our Slate ollicers, lo which it is not en. titled. To the zeal and extravagance of tills nrlstocrutic oligarchy, whose sins we are pointing out, in promislnj: hlxher education lor every class except tanners, white ii neglects the free schools which are the only chance for an education to thousands of poor children, whose lathers bore the brunf in ihe struggle for our redemption in 1SU To the continued recurrenecoi horrible lynching? which we can but attribute to bad laws ami their inefllcleut aditiiiiisiralion.

SUBSCRIPTIONS BEING PAID?AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK Interview Willi President Parker, in Which He Makes Interesting Statements. Not finding Mr. Parker last week, we called upon him yesterday evening and asked him for an expression In reference to the prospects of the new bank of which lie is to be the President. After firing half dozen questions at him. all in a heap, as indicated by his answers, he replied in one general answer, as follows: Mr. Parker said he noticed In the last Press and Banner that Col. Robertson speaks of a contest" between him and myself for the Presidency of the Farmers Loan and Trust j Hank. Of this "contest" 1 know nothing and was not a party to It. Early in December, in a conversation in my ofllce, Mr. A. W. Jones informed me that I was spoken of for President of the bank. The week previous to the meeting of the c.?I*si1 <lAtu2 twrt nrnmlMPnt. mpmhors of thO Alliance, and subscribers to the liauk, called at. my office and In the conversation that followed tbey asked If I would accept the Presidency. I replied that there wore two difficulties In the way. One, as to the placc of location of the bank, nnd the other tli.it I was not a member of the Alliance. I was Informed that the hank would nrobably be located at Abbeville and that the other difficulty would bn removed by allowing "outside" subscriptions. I was subsequently asked to subscribe and declined until I knew the action of the subscribers to the bank. On the morning of the election of directors, I was called upon at my office by a committee of three, who stated that they were Instructed to ask my opinion as to some points pertaining to the control, by the Alliance, of the affairs of the bank. I advised that the mntter wns under the control of the stockholders and that the only way to control it was to take care that members of the Alliance always controlled a majority of the stock. After that matter was ended I was told that the committee desired to know If I would accept the Presidency. I had heard it commonly spoken of on the streets. that I would be President, that I supposed It was the general wish. Alter I was informed that tho meeting had resolved to take outside subscriptions, I consented to make a subscription. I never sought or made any effort to obtain the office. As to the matter of voting the stock, it Is a mistake that "outside" subscribers will vote five shares to one for the Allianco members. Every subscriber who pays will he allowed to vote according to the number of shares subscribed. I have understood that Col. Robertson Introduced tho resolution permitting "outside" subscriptions to amount of twenty thousand dollars. ile is an Intelligent man and has had much experience, and if he had read the charter outfhttohave seen that every stockholder stood on an equal footing. I can only add that If the subscribers pay up their slock, either in full or according to ito T i i.ln Ir i ho Imn !r nan tin made a success. So far as the board have discretion they will eudeavor to favor the Interest of the farmer with a due regnrd to the interest of those who have Invested their money in it. So far we have reason to be encouraged by the paying in of the stock, and think the twenty thousand dollars will certainly be inadc up. The above are Mr. Parkers views, statements, and opinions, and are worth something. Whatever is added may be set down as our own opinion, or as orphan paragraphs which we found floating in the air, and inay or may not bo worth anything. They are repeated for the reason that public attention Is now directed toward the bank, and many of our people are anxious to hear even idle rumors. We are of the opinion that the bank is an assured fact. Quite a number of Alliance subscribers to the capital stock have already paid in their flrst assessment. Many of the largest subscribers to the capital stock will Increase their subscriptions. About 520,000 of "outside" stock has been subscribed, all of which subscriptions are believed to be good. As soon as 510,000 is paid in, the bank will go to work. It Is said that the otllcers arc now looking for a suitable place to do business. At present Cashier Aiken is occupying a desk in the law officc of Parker A: McUowun. We are not authorized to say so, but we are inclined to the opinion that every subscriber to the capital stock will be required to pay his subscription. The certificates that they are bona tide subscribers arc held by the olllcers, aud we believe they will, us they should, en* force compliance with the certificates, which are duly proven by a witness in each case. With all the obtainable lights before us, we believe the new baulc is now an absolute certainty. Whatever Intention the Allianco men may nave had of establishing an elymosenary concern, it is perfectly certain that outsiders will expect the ofllcers to loan their money on J undoubted collaterals. The bank will be of great advantage to the farming interests of the country, and will be an Important factor in reducing the iato of interest on money. If the Alliance has done no other good, it may Justly claim the bonorof inaugurating a movement which ban resulted iu an actual reality, and in the establishment of an insti-' tutiou which will help to bring prosperity to all classes aud conditions of people. REPLY TO COLONEL ROBERTSON. "Director" Striken Rack ? Further Statement* in Itet'crencc to Use Election of ('a.shlrr. In the last Press and Banner Col. J. T. Robertson explains his resignation of his position ;ts Director in "The Farmers Loan ami Trust Company." The burden of his sons: was us follows: "A motion was made lo allow outsiders (or others than members of the Alliance; to .subscribe to the capital stock to the amount of 320,000. * * * Upon tii is act ion a heated discussion arose.and many thought (as it proved to be) the wedge that would sever us in twain." The above are the Colonel's words. Permit us to add the chorus to the song: Stanza 1st. The Colonel offered the motion and advocated it, to allow outsiders to subscribe to the capital stoclc to the amount of ?20,000. (Score one for the Colonel. He drove "the wedge tlmt would sever us in twain," and seems to bo the one most lacerated.) Stanza'2d. The Colonel says that "Mr. Parker and 1 were nominated for prestucnt. 1 declined. and Mr. Parker was unanimously elected." (.icorc two for the Colonel. He declined tlie honor and voted for au "outsider" for president.) Stanza .ird. The Colonel says: "When nominations were in order for cashier, Mr. A. M. Aiken was nominated, * * * aud Mr. Julius DuPre was put in nomination, (strongly advocated by the Colonel) and in discussing the merits of the various candidates the following questions were asked: Docs Mr. Aiken belong lo the Alliance? Answer?Yes. Pois Mr. DnPre belong to the Alliance? AnswerNo. (I5y the Colonel.) (Score three, more for the Colonel. He accepts the honor of rejecting an Alliance man,and then nominates and advocates and votes for an acknowledged "outsider" for cashier.) The ballot resulted as follows: Aiken 7, Pul're 2. Grand chorus. Three cheers for the Colonel who makes a hold speech against "outsiders" for office, closes it by nominating and voting for an outsider for office, aud resigns immediately when his "outsider" is defeated. ''Consistency, tliou art a jewel." The Colonel says, "I have heard" and "1 have heard" so and so.

Erlilor Register?In nn article addressed to the Democracy of .south Carolina, purporting to come from the executive committee of the Farmer's Association of .South Carolina, published in your paper of the 2-id instant, I am described as represent lug the sentiment of the South Carolina University aud Military Academy, in consequence of my using what appeared to be an uncharitable expression against the Clemson College'sln a speech in the Senate last month. 1 had the honor of being a tru.steo of tho South Carolina College two terms, each time without any solicitation or knowledge of the purpose to elect me. But for the last two years I have hud no connection with the University or Military Academy, and therefore these Institutions should not bo held reHpouslble lor any otl'cnssc charged against me. The remarkable philippic published by a body of men who style themselves "The Farmers' Association of South Carolina" traduces our people and dishonors our State. The document is unworthy of Carolinians, and lias its parallel only in the diatribes of a Whlttemoreand L. Cass Carpenter in the dark days ol Had lea I ism! It is not my purpose to answer this man Mrs to. Hut when this committee undertakes to arraign me as opposed to the higher education of the farmers of South Carolina, by insinuation and a garbled extract from a speech, I will resent tho Imputation as false and calumnious, whether it comes from an individual or au association. At interval?, during many years, I have given my services for the education of the masses of the people, and I rejoice In the fruit of my labors, as Columbia does especially. Hut I will always oppo.-e lo the be-t of my ability any ellbri at class legislation which will sow discord uud bitterness amongst our people aud give one class of citI lzun8 a preeminence over another. I see no reason or Justice why the farmer shall be favored any more than the mechanic, the railroad man, merchant, or ai.y other culling. 1 \lor??nvor F hiivo no ssvnt nnlv with uiiv leftist lallon which is measured by tlio horizon of any little neighborhood; utid any legislator who works lur the benefit of u town or County at the expense of the interests of the State is unworthy of his position. South Carolina is u small and poor State, and her honor and prosperity depend upon the unity, integrity and education ot her people ; and whoever seeks to cripple tier institutions and divide her people Is not a friend to tlio commonwealth. Therefore 1 protest against a single garbled extract as (he keynote of my speech, as it will create a false impression. I, therefore, beg to submit a short abstract of toy speech on the Clemsou College bill, a* "'ell as I can recall it. I began with a history of the "Farmers' Movement," so called, as originating iu the brains of a witty and eloqucwt enthusiast who desired to restore the grandeur of the ancieut planter, without any reference to the changed condition of affairs. That after much waste of elcquenco and llouudering midst figures he boiled dowu to the scheme of a "farmer's, college," pure and unadulterated, as the panacea for all the ills of'-'lute. The Mississippi Agricultural College beeame the issue. it was thorougly discussed throughout the State and clearly demonstrated that the "Annex" to tho University was far superior to the Mississippi model, and here we thought the matter was ended, and our schools and colleges would go on dispensing their bl'V-ings as they have been doing since 18S2. Hut, alas, about this time a poor cranky agnostic, who sought to perpetrate Ills name by allying it with that of South Carolina's irreatest sa^e. ottered to the State a I few hundred acres oi' hills in a remote corner of Anderson, (which can be duplicated at 82 per acre in Oconee or Fairfield) and an annuity of $!,000 u year. Whereupon Iho noisy advocates of the farmers' moveinemgrabbed at 11 as if It was a magnificent legacy, showing an unholy desire to co-operate with a crank in depriving a defendant of Calhoun of her rightful inheritance. I chalicnged any .Senator to point to the instance of any purely agricultural college succeeding?that it would require the wealth of a Vandcrbilt to establish one. 'i'hata technical agricultural college could only differ lrom other colleges in hoeing, ploughing and attending to stock, it could not and would not be attractive or desirable to farmers sons, and would prove a failure, as all manual schools had. That only polytechnic colleges, where different arts and sciences are taught, could attract numbers sulllclcnt lo form a collegc. Tlint in these expensive buildings and apparatus were necessaries which could bj used in common, saving thousands* of dollars; and the variety of branches would increase the interest of patrons aud pupils. That tlie State at great expense hnd already established (lie finest technological school In the South. That there were 81 in the University In the college of agriculture and mechanics. That since lSsfcJ the number oi chemists, engineers, and farmers graduated at I he University were much greater than those from the Mississippi College, and it was a subject of congratulation lo every cit izen of the Slate. That science hall, which is principally devoted lo media nical arts, chcmistry and agriculture, cost the State was an ornament to the .~UUie uiiu Miuuiii in: a (JiruBniovrij tanner unit mechanic in the limits of South Carolina. That to cripple such an Institution would ben crliuc against civilization, and to attempt to duplicate such col I ryes would create a burden t lii-.stale was unable to endure. That tanners desired to Rive their sons the best opportunities for education and wanted thnm to come in contact willi the sons of all classes; that this attrition was best for all students and tor itio stale. I did not believe then, nor do I now believe, that the farmers approve of or sympathize Willi any such movement. They wen: satistied and would prefer to send their sons to the University rather t han to a school in the clay hills of Anderson, inacci ssible In the winter time andwithouta ho;el or livery stable in miles of it. There was no use for it. That all attempts to carry out the scheme of a purely agricultural college had la 1 led and from the nature of thecase must. f ill. That 'UiuCloinson College was an unmitigated and an Infernal humbug." Uut as a few of our people weie demented on the subject, for the sake of the peace of tlie.State I \v?s willing to vote for a tax of $W,oi)0 a year. That I wanted the matter to go before the people, and if it was fully discussed they would conclude that they already enjoyed much better advantages in the University than a farmers college ever can give. And then the people in four years time would sink the Clemson College out of sight. After I made my speech, a friend told me I ii'-cd the word "infernal." I ad mil ted it was unparliamentary and used in the heat of de bate. since I nave seen toe pronunciameiuo I think the word was prophetic and certainly the proper word if tills address voices the sentiments of Clcmson Collect) advocates.
