A Chrqi\\cle reporter callee! upon chi pers of tho Agency yesterday, and learn ed, that its affairs were embarrassed on account of advances made to planters, apd of tim fajlure of many of the sub scribers to tho stock of the corpoiation to pay up their subscriptions.

About (?00 shares have been paid up The Agency M*>re>* about $3,000, the principal part 01 Which, or about $1,S00 is duo to Mr. William Hart, of Warren county. About ?'5C0 is due Mr Neal, of the same coun'v. Thc Agency owes several other parties amounts from SlOtj to $250. The officers here aro cou (iden ' that when tho Di rec tors "hold a meeting which will bo soon, means will be devised to pay off tho in debtedness at once Thc Agency was established in November, 1874, b\* the Grangers.

CHARLESTON'S INTERIOR CON NECTIONS. The Aiken correspondent of the News and Courier, himself a Charlestonian, presents in forciblo language the neces sity of activity oil the part of Charleston, with tho object of retaining and aug inditing our trade with the interior. The railroad from Edgefield to Pino House (now Trenton) will certainly bc built, and a railroad from Edgefield to Aiken L looked for in thc near finnie < harleston*s interest is in Hie c .llliecli n with Edgefield and the ex ten ion t< (ireeuivoud. Our correspondent gins clearly his reasons for believing that il must be to the yidvifcitage of Charleston io control thc business of Edgefield, Ab beville and Anderson, which will tic di verted from her, by tue present Augusta mid Greenwood Railroad, io >a van uah. Port R ?yal ur Wilmington If she did uni place ber*>t*Jf promptly in posai.11 to command tb?* situation, lt ia not now a choice between bringing business to Charleston by ono or other of two routes but between securing the business ?ino losing it. From Aiken tim persons in terested in Por. Royal can readily make a connection with ibo Port Royal Rail road. Spart, libing will be lapped by a proponed extwusioti nf the Augusta and Greenwood Railroad. Charleston has at stake, therefore, both iJic trade ol thc fertile country along the Savannah Riv er, and thc trade expected from the West When tho Spartan burg and Ashoville Railroad shall have made connection with the Tennessee roads. Thc subject is one that demands seriou? nnd early Consideration, for Charleston has to all appearance, an opportunity lo ob aili at a small cost, the control ot large and profitable business. No large expenditure is needed, as is explained by our correspondent. With little effort and no risk worth naming, the prize can be won. Th s Inscriptions on the Augusta Con fed?rale JMouumeut. The Ladies' Memorial Associa!ion have decided to place the following inscriptions on the Monument, one on a tablet on each side of the shaft : "Erected by the Ladies' Memorial Asso ciation ol' Augusta, A. \). 1878, in honor ?of the men ol' Richmond Cornily, who .died in the cause of the Con fed?, ia te States."

EDITORS :-Inasmuch as there are a host of candidates in tho field, and but few to be elected, I wish to propound a few questions to them. And tho pub lic demands them to answer. The voters in tbs coming campaign ask them to respond. Tho good of tho country re quires that a strict adherenco be had, and properly answered. As voters in the primary election, we will not, m>r cannot, support, any candidate for tho the Legislature who refuses to answer explicitly the q* allons that moy follow, viz: 1st. Are youlnfavorof tba Democratic plan of election, I mean b3r Primary; and havo yon declared iioiirsrlcm candi dates, or did the ppqpla l>rjng you outf 2ud. Are you in favor of reduoiug the pay of Representatives from live dollars per day to three? If so, speak out! 3J. Are you willing to lose a"' lost time without pay, during tho sitting ol the Legislature? 4th. Are you willing that, the jurors whoHrecotupellttd by law t<> attend cou rt, shall yet three dollars per da . ?r their services; and that the Sante witnesses who aro bou lid over to c >urt, shall receive one dollar and fifty cents pi r dav? 5th. Will you, if elected, du all you eau in tho legislature to br ng alxuil these important changes? There are other questions, of minor importance, that might bo asked just hero, but we deem Ibem unnecessary a1 this time. Tho ones wo allude to must be answered and fully endorsed, either in tho affirmative or in the negative. I am confident that I express tho wish ami desire of a majority of the white voters in tlie coming election. I cannot exactly understand why ?tis there are so many aspirants for office, unless it is inhnpoof great gain. Rofnru the war men were elected t<> tho Legisla tar? by merit, and they wont there for the sake of honor and not of gain. I would also remark that wo wish not m >re than omi lawyer in our Legislative body from each County. Tiio interest of the people is to ho equally dividod, in representation. The inquiry being farmers, let us scud farmers to enact our laws. You may be sure that if you fail to 1 >ok after your own Utterest, uooneVlse will <l>itf u-you. In conclusion let us adopt Hie plan of Gov. Hampton : That i-f, to scud our bt?t men to tho legislature. Ki UK ?KY'S X Itu . os Wily I.o ig r Kc.nain Fat!

' j MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Karney, Hie colored Congressman; (Vorn South Carolma, has nsMired a Tribune correspondent of the ability of 1 he Repub licans to carrv three of the live Congres sional Districts ot'that Stale, if not. pre vented by fraud and intimidation. There will be neither the ono nor the other, and the Democrats will certainly carry every district but one. They may carry the Charleston District also, but. too many fusion ists and dougluaces may cause de feat in that Quarter. The Dich mond Dispatch says a person who was present and witnessed the scene; says that on Thursday lust, when Cen. Joe I oh liston was upon thc floor of thc United Slates Senate by invitation ol'a Senator, the scene in that grave budy was almost like a levee. Senators from all parts of the United Slates eenie up to bc introduced to him and to shake his hand. Not once in a generation is such a scene witnessed. Business was almost suspended. The New York Tribune says: In view of the exposition of bribery and corrup tion in the election of Patterson, of South .Carolina, io the United States Senate, the Senate not only disgraces itself and the country by allowing him to retain h s seat, but a so robs the penitentiary ol South Carolina of one of the most distin guished personages entitled to its hospi tality. The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Journal of Commerce thinks the Democratic Presidential ticket in 1SS0 will be Thurman and Cordon. It is al most a foregone conclusion that the second place will be given to the South, and no one would lill the bill better than the sol dier Senator from Georgia. The United Stales Senate has refused by a tie vote to restore the franking priv ilege, so far a? relates to letters. Speeches and public documents go free. Hon. IT. A. Herbert, member of Con gress, from Alabama, and Hon. Edward Hooker, member of Congress, from Mis sissippi, are both natives of Laurens Dis trict South Carolina. -1 nail I THE SOUTH CAROLINA SOCIE TY'S HAR 1$ ECU E.
