Trials iDves?igatcd in Malice and Pushed Forward for Unholy Purposes. Edgefield Uninvolved as Yet. The Chief Justice of the United States -Waite-is expected to hold the April term of the United States Court in Char leston. And on this occasion, South Car olina is to be subjected to another reign of perjured testimony and packed juries. The United States Government, through ile Agents in this State-the principal of whom is District Attorney Melton-Sam uel Melton-is busily preparing for the prosecution, for political eff?ct, of citizens of South Carolina, for alleged violations of the election laws, the intimidation of voters, and similar charges. In these tramped np casos, the Government will be "represented by District Attorney Mel ton, ex-Chief Justice Willard, Wm. P. Snyder, a lawyer of Allentown, Penn., and Congressman Richard Crowley, of Buffalo, New York. Snyder and Crow ley are sent to our State on this unholy errand by Attorney General Brewster. The first dash in this pitiful business waa made some three weeks ago, when United States Commifsioner Banskett at Colombia, issued warrants for the arrest of the following citizens of Fairfield County: Jaa. Herron, J. M. Kirkland, S. S. Curry, Taos. McGill, Jr., James McGill, Joseph ?Meekio, JoelMcMeekin, Nicholas Peay hos. Aiken. Two white' Greenback - W. Aughtry and J. H. Martin, out the warrants, charging the par ith violating the election laws in fag to assist them as Deputy Mar I when called upon todo so at the polk, swore out a warrant against Her ron for assaulting him at the polls. At a preliminary hearing accorded these gentlemen in Columbia, a few days after their arrest, the witnesses of the Govern ment, not being well up in their leesons, and not swearing to enough to justify taking the cases into Court, Melton and Willard deliberately continued them, to give the Government time to look up new and swifter witnesses. Large numbers of arrests are being made over the State ; and in certain subsequent preliminary ex aminations, the same farce of postpone ment or continuation has been resorted to-gaining time to hunt np creatures ready to perjure themselves for a few dollars. In thus arraigning our people, it ii very clear that the Republican party are not seeaing for the purity of elections, but for political capital to go before the country opon as the champions of lair*electione. After every election in South Carolina, warrants are issued sgainst a large num ber of reputable citizens, for some alleged violation of some of the elastic sections of the Revised Statutes of the United States. Deputy marshals are dispatched over the country to annoy and harass the people; or else the citizen is summoned to appear before a Commissioner to an swer charges utterly without foundation spies are sent to every polling place in the. State daring an election, clothed with the authority of Deputy Marshals or Su pervisors, and they notice and "in their memory keep" every trivial and jocular remark made by any Democrat during an election, and afterwards, by horrible dis tortion and downright lying, make it the basis of political persecutions. These craven cowards go to the election, andi under the protection the great U. S. gov ernment gives them, behave in a very shameful and insulting manner, until perhaps some rash youth, provoked be yond endurance, utters some imprudent remark, and be is at once marked for Fed eral persecution. These officials are usu ally the most ignorant, 'unprincipled, de graded white men in the community, or else brutal negroes totally destitute of all instincts of truth, honor or gentility. The whole matter and all the proceed ings are an outrage upon manliness and justice; and a deep disgrace to the Fede ral Government.. Edgefield County has not been raided aa yet; but notwithstanding her utter free dom from ail the violations and outrages complained of, her turn will, in all proba bility, soon come. The Pudding Well Proved. Those who voted against thu Stock Law have proved the pudding and now warmly approve it. As a consequence of this law many waste places have been reolaimed, which formerly would have cost too much by reason of the extra fencing. The cattle and horses have wonderfully improved, Jersey bulls having been brought into many neigh borhoods. Another great advantage has been mode plain in the improvement of the soil since the trampling of the stock has ceased. And a very remarkable ?j. suit of the stock: law is_tnat o?*V, , ^^^wi?n^rgrowth pine will. Tho theory of this thing is that formerly the young oaks were bitten oif by the browsing ?tock just as soon as the leaf appeared above the ground. Now that tho cows are kept off the oaks ore allowed to spring up and grow. All tb eso clrciim stances have caused land in this county io quadruple in value since the resurrec tion of thc State. Return io the Radical Hog-pen. In connection with the pending politi cal trials in Charleston, the accomplished Columbia correspondent of the Augusta CJironicle and Constitutionalist, "Rich land," draws this admirable pen picture of Willard: Willard is a genuine, thoroughbred, unadulterated carpet-bagger. Being gifted with an unusual snare of what is vulgarly termed "brass," and "by ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" he suc ceeded in having himself elected an Asso ciate Justice of South Carolina by the vultures who fed upon the State in the days of Radicalism. The other Associate Justice at the time was an imbecile ne gro. The Supreme Court, os then consti tuted, was a proper judicial tribunal for the corrupt days in which it existed. Upon the death of Chief Justice Moses and the accession of the Democrats to power, Willard, for supposed services rendered the party at a critical time, was rewarded by being elected for Moses' un expired term. He has, since his retirement from the Supreme Bench, returned to the Radical hogpen and is one of the vilest and bitterest of the crew in the State. He is an old man now, his hair is frosted with age. ?OT- Mr. W. D. Rainey has left at this office for sole, several copies of the Booth .Toaey Trial. Price, 50 ct?, per copy. Death of Col Bartley M. Blocker The Waynesboro Herald, of Burke County, Ga., tb ns announces the death of an Edgefield man of high and honored lineage, and who leaves behind him, in his native county, troops of warm and kindly-remembering friends : We have just learned that CoL B. M. Blocker died at his home in this county on Snnday last. The Colonel was a man of peculiar views, was a Rood citizen and stanch^ friend, and one ol those positive characters that always encounter opposi tion ia their pathway through life. De scended from the best people of South Car olina, a fact which he never forgot, be was afflicted with a propensity to" have his fun ont of everybody around him. Mr. B. was not a popular nan, But even thoBe who did not admire lum in life will accord to his memory their admiration for genu ine clever heart and bis sterling honor as a man. The county ha3 lost a good citi zen and his friends a stanch elly. For the Advertiser. Working County Roads. Now iu the season, says the Industrial South, for a fair estimate and a proper ap preciation of the advantages of good coun ty roads over the disadvantages of bad county roads. To say nothing of the dis comfort and danger of the long exposure of the drivers of teams hauling on bad county roads during the winter months, the gain in time saved and in quantity carried, ought to be a sufficient considera tion to induce every reflecting man living in the country to agree to unite in any reasonable movement for the improve ment of the public roads of his county. The sanie reason that brought the rail roads into existence, ought ti bring the county roads into the best possible con dition that can bc made consistent with the necessary cost. The railroad car is quicker, greater in capacity, and cheaper as a means of transportation than the old wagon which it has superseded ; and so, too, a well graded, well drained, and, if practicable, well-graveled county road will be fouud similarly superior to the old road in old condition, with ruts, and holes, and Bteep hills requiring four horses to do tho work of one, and consuming a whole J day when four or five hours, on a good road, would be ample. This is a serious question of econo.uy, iu -vhich the interests of farmers are much mc :e deeply involved thau all farmers may suppose. And, although men en gaged ia agriculture are ' exceptionably slow in new movements, they are never theless men of clear heads and practical intelligence, and the day is not distant, we hope, when, after carefully estimating the coat and reasonably computing the profits, they will set to work earnestly in co-operation for improving their county roads wherever improvements are needed.

Scientific Farming. Augusta Chronicle. Mr. J. A. 0. Jones, of Trenton, South Carolina, is a scientific farmer. He enters the lists this year as a contest ant for the prize offered by B. F. Avery & Sons for tho greatest yield of cotton on three acres. Mr. Jones is now preparing the plat which he has selected for the trial. It waa.in cotton last year, making a 500 pound bale per acre. In the old water fur row? he opens and strews fifteen bush els green cotton seed, and on that one hundred and fifty pounds Etiwan, No. 2, per acre, and beds it out. Before planting he will run furrows across the beda ; in these furrows he will sprinkle a liberal supply of lot manure and on that one hundred and fifty pounds of Etiwan No. 1, per acre, and cover with two light furrows. At the intersection of the manured fur rows the seed will be dropped by hand, and will be thinned down to two stalks to the hill giving as a stand something over seven thousand plants per acre. This cross manuiing is a novel idea and certainly will furnish the extra-stimulant the young plant needs, and the conservative influence required by the large growth. Mr. Jones will trust himself alone to do The Saiitefillt Sui., The Aikea Joti?L, vW Review publishes the notice from the Augubu? Chronicle in reference to the snit of the Woolfolk heirs for the land upon which the town of Graniteville and the Graniteville Factory stand and Baje: "We are informed that the above snit has been instituted and pending since the year 1S79, but the :ase was not docketed until last conrt. The suit waa instituted for the plantiiTa by Messrs. Abney, Croft and Jor dan The answer of the company was lied by Henderson Broa, and J. P. Darroll. The company claimed that ,hey have undisputed legal titles to he property, and besides, that they lave been in possession of it since the rear 1846.

The Directors Consult For toe Benefit of the Stockholders-Efforts to Pay Interest and Prevent the Sale of the Road. An important meeting of directora of the Augusta and Knoxville Rail road was held in Augusta on Saturday last. The object of the meeting was to consult and confer in reference to certain propositions preventing the sale or loss of the road to Augusta. E rib rte have been making on the part of the directors and capitalists in the city to pay the interest on the bonds now past due, and keep the road for Augusta. After consultation the finance com mittee were empowered to confer with bondholders and stockholders, and make such arrangement as would be satisfactory to all parties and relieve the embarrassment of the road. President Verdery, in his report, showed that the net earnings of the A. & K since January lat have been $9,758 56. The number of bales ci cotton hauled up to January 1st is 14.015. The Finance Committee is composed of Messrs. E. F. Verdery, W. C. Sibley, Z. MeCord, Charles Estes and Robert H. May, and they are empowered to treat for the lease or sale of the road. The Outrage Condemned. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier, speaking of the outrageous conduct of the government in the eft' rt to get up new political trials, says : The white people of the State may as well make np their mjnds that they h?ve to undergo another such ordeal as that through which they passed last spring. The trials in April will show the same unscrupu lousness on the part of the United States department of injustice. North ern men spending the winter in Co lumbia say that if the people of New England were treated as those Fair field Democrats were treated last week they would rise up and lynch their persecutors. They regard the patience and foibearance of our peo ple under the tyrannies of Brewster and Melton as phenomenal. They would not permit at home, they say, arrests to be made on such evidence as that produced in the Monticello case. Of course not. It is only th* rebellious Red shirts ef South Caro lina who are patient and don't get credit for it. I am fold that in New Hampshire United States deputy marshals have been appointed only once in a number of years, and that only for one township at an election. Brewster could not clo at home what he does here. The States of the North, I am told, would not allow such in terference with their elections. A Big Fee aud Great Expectations, We ate told that the Hon. Richard Crowley, the New York lawyer who is to assist in the South Carolina po litical j- rosecu tiona next month, is an intimate friend of President Arthur. He was retained as counsel for the Government in the Buffalo Bank case last summer, and is 6aid to have man aged it so well that Attorney General Brewster has given him another job. The fame Washington letter from which we get this information adds that Mr. Crowley's fee " will be a handsome one," and that " he is justi fied in expecting some convictions in the South Carolina election caeea this time.'/ Xj9 BBBftated npomwhati Int has any evidence to justi fy the expectation of a single convic tion we have yet to hear of it. But possibly Mr. Cfowley may be one of those advocates who, for a considera tion, can make np theil minds without the trouble of listening to any evidence. Mr. Dallas Sanders, of Pennsylvania, was just that kind of lawyer. A year ago, it will be remembered, he came to Charleston upon a miesion similar to that in which Mr. Crowley is to earn his big fee. But " my dear Dal las" went back to Philadelphia with his professional plumage sadly ruffled by the discovery that in South Caro lina even political " suspects" are held to be innocent until proved to be guilty. We trust that a like dis covery will not prove too severe a Bhock to Mr. Crowley End his " ex pectations."-News and Courier. A correspondent of the Cleveland Leader, writing to his paper of the drinking methods of Congressmen, makes a bar-keeper say : " We have some curious drinkers among the members of the present House. A member from South Caro lina takes on an average about forty drinks a day. He fills his glass to the brim every time, and tells the bartender his sight is bad and he can't tell how much there is in the glass until it gets too full. Like all the Southern members, he alwaye drinks whiskey, and he takes it straight." Who is it? Certainly not Col. Evins. If he ever drinks he does it BO infrequently that it has never told on him in the memory of man. It certainly is net Col. Aiken. There is not red enough in his face to hang a suspicion on. Col. Richardson is a true blue copper riveted Presbyterian. Uncle George Tillman never touehes a drop of anything stronger than milk. Mr. Dibble carries a certificate of ab solute sobriety on his countenance. TV? .inly South Carolina Congressman ?nth weai- Hyeg and a red nose is E. W. M. Mackey We will back to )0 the most villainous lo?, "-?rig hound n the Congress. It must be Mackey, and, on that is?timption, we rejoice. He can no? tand forty drinks a day very long, 'fit is Mackey, when the inevitable tappens nobody can ever again abuse rhiskey or deny that it had its good iaes.- Greenville News. After the first of October next letter ostage will be red need to two cents, t is remembered by persons not forty ears old when letter postage was 10 ents for distance ol" OOO miles, or 15 enta for all distances over that.
