Andrew Jackson believed that no amount of virtue or breding or religion, or money or money privi lege, gave any man or any set of men the right to rule any other mau or set of men. No matter how many blunders he made-and he made more thau almost any other President-he made them all trying to carry out this principle, and because he was right fundamentally, however far wrong he might be in any given ease at any given time, the masses of hil own generation forgave him, everything and followed him, re cognizing in him a friend and champion who never ou any oc casion hesitated onn moment to stand for them against the world. And because of this the people in all generations will forgive him as they will follow every man who comes in his spirit and with the courage be snowed to lead them against those who believe in the divine right of "the uppor classes" and "the better element" to do as they please with the people regard less of what the people think of j jt,-St. Louis Republic.

But wh was his astonishment when ti employer went up to the negro own p3n. Seeing this the uegi drew back in astonishment: "Bos you ain't goiu' to kill my hog, you?" "Kill him!" the white ma said, "the devil ! Yes. Git in di and git him out, we're 'bilged I have sumpin to eat till the lie opens"-and to add insult to ii jury began to sing that good ol song : "Some folks say 'ata nigger won't stea But I ketched one in my corn fiel'." It is unnecessary to drag thi tale out any longer. The hog wa killed and the upgro got the heac [For the ADVKRTISEK. Epitome of the Reform Move ment. Thinking that probably some c your readers are not fully acquaint ed with the rise and success o what is called the Reform factioi of the democratic party in thi Stute, I have concluded, with th limited means I have at hand, ti search out and place before then a few facts appertaining thereti as I am able to collect them. Well to begin with, I guess yoi are all aware that Ben Tillmai may be called the father of thi reform faction. Back in the '80's he began by violently agitating through the State press the neces sity of a distinct agricultural col lege, supported by the State, foi the better and more fitting educa, tion of the sous of our farmers. While the establishment of suet a college was the true and mair incentive of Tillman, and may be called the embryo of the reform faction, still he raised complaint* against other branches of the State government, and kept hammering away at grievances real, visionary, and otherwise, until he caught the ear of the people, and so the re form or farmers movement as it was then called was set on foot. He then called a farmers con vention at Columbia, which met April 30, 1886, and at which as sembled about 300 delegates from all parts of the State, representing the sympathizers with the reform movement. This convention adopt ed a p.' atform setting forth the re forms demanaed by the farmers. In the same year another conven tion of farmers was held in Co lumbia and organized what was called the Farmers' Association, at the second meeting of which, in the next year, an urgent demand was made upon the Legislature to give the farmers their agricultural college. On July 12, 1888, at Florence, a large number of farmers met and organized a State Farmers' Alli ance which soon spread all over the State, and into which the Farmers' Association was soon merged and therein loBt its sepa rate identity. Since that time the Reform Movement and the Farmers' Alli ance have become synonymous terms in this State, and the latter took it upon themselves to agitate the reforms demanded by the former. In 1888, Hon. Thomas G. Clem son died, and by his will, he left a large property to the State for the purpose of founding an agricul tural college such as the reformers were clamoring for. The property left by him in cluded the old John C. Calhoun homestead in Ocooee county, known as Fort Hill, and which he inherited from Calhoun through his wife, who was the latter's daughter. The Farmers' Association urged the Legislature to accept this be quest, and provide for the early es tablishment of an agricultural college at Fort Hill. The Legislature acceded to their demands, but Gov. Richardson who was not in sympathy with the de mands of the Farmers' Association, refused to sign the bill promptly, aud withheld the bill a year, when he reluctantly added his siguature and Fort Hill became the prop erty of the State, ?nd the dream of Tillman and the Reform Move ment was in a fair way to be real ized. Thus the college which the plain farmer Tillman of Edgefield county was so anxious to se8 es tablished, and which was the true root of the Farmers' Movement in this State, was on a lolid footing at last. Tillman became their idol, and the success which crowned their efforts now fired them with greater zeal to accomplish an ap parently much needed reform in all branche* of the State govern ment. So in January, 1890, Capt. G. W. j Shell, who was president of the Farmers' Association, issued the famous "Shell Manifesto" which contained a call for a convention to be held in March of that year, for the purpose of nominating a complete slate of State officers to place before tlie regular September convention subject to their action.

EniTOR : I am nothing but a poor negro preacher, and it may be a transgression for a poor ne gro preacher to ask space iu the white folks' paper. But the negro | is here in this land to stay and in large numbers. His welfare and happiness are so intimately asso ciated with that of the white race that no political economist can consider the future of the one apart from that of the other. If the negro prospers, the whites are prosperous. If the morals of our race improve tho other must also; they are, in these matters, mutual reflex of each other. The negro takes his cue in all things from his white brother, and what will benefit the one will benefit the other in a greater or less degree. When the negro was set free he entered upon a new and untried field-that of political self-gov ernment. That self-government,) under the rule in this State from 1865 to 1876, proved a dismal failure, and was overthrown. No honest and intelligent colored man in South Carolina will to-day say aught that is good of that regime. The only government now left for us is that of the family, every husband and father to rule over his own household; and this brings me to the point at which I am aiming: That the laws of South Carolina may and ought to aid us in building up our people morally and industrially. We have no political aims or aspira tions. One law which has already, proven of great benefit to our race is the dispensary law, and if it be allowed to stand, it will lift many a poor black man out of the mud and mire of poverty and moral degradation. It has already done much in this respect. The drink ing and gambling and hot suppers, with their concomitant sins, are already, under its beneficent operation, almost things of the past. Happy homes, bright and attractive fire-sides, school houses well built and well patron ized are now taking the place of well patronized barrooms and gaudy gambling places where the poor negro's money gave him a hearty welcome until it was all gone. His hard-earned money now goes to other channels, and to the dispensary law is due the credit of it. Let, then, all our preachers and all oar teachers blazon its vir tues from the house-tops, on the highway8and byways,in our schools and our churches, at the plow handles, and in the cotton-patch, for it will bring more respectability to our race in the future aud greater prosperity for the country. Big with promine and hope may it long remain upon our law books to bless and brighten the humble homes of all our people. A NEGRO PREACHER. The best is the cheapest.

The House has been wree with the Bland bill for the week and is now in a dead There is no chance to secure necessary quorum before next '. day.

Mr. Stone, of Pennsylvania, fi the House Judiciary Commit has submitted his report, iec< mending that the bill providing the inspection of immigrants American consuls pail?. The ject of the bill is to prevent criminal and pauper populatioi foreign countries from coming this country RS immigrants. 1 changes proposed will benefit classes of our people, as they Y lighten taxation for the support caimiuals and paupers. I aimed at no particular national but strikes directly at that cl of immigrants, who, incapable self-support at home, have here fore sought this country as asylum, whose presence can oi be a burden and expense, a whose moral and social charact istics can only do us harm. Recent statistics show that large majority of our white pi onerB and convicts are of forei birth, and a very large proporti of the inmates of our chantal institutions are of the same extr? tion. Senator Gallinger, of New Han shire, has introduced a bill as substitute for the Wilson tar bill. It declares that in consid< ation of the wide-spread depressi in business matters of the count it is the sense of the Senate that is unwise to attempt any chang in the tariff ?aw. Notwithstanding the efforts republicans to delay tariff legisl tion it is very probable that tJ Wilson bi?l, with a few amen meots, will be reported to the Se ate during the coming week. S gar, coal, and iron will probab be taken from the free list and duty of 1 cent a pound be put c sugar and 40 or 50 cents a ton c coal and iron. The income tc appears to be popular in the Sei ate and will probably -tass withot great trouble. Mr. Bower, of North Carolin has introduced a bill amendin the law granting pensions to th survivors of the Indian wars froi 1832 to 1842 inclusive, known ? the Black Hawk Creek, Cherokei and Seminole wars. The am?ne ment changes the time of servie required by this act from thirty t fourteen days. Mr. Draper has introduced a bi to promote the safety of employe and travellers on rail roads, b compelling common carriers ec gaged in inter-state conveyance c passengers to equip their cars an locomotives with the most perfec appliances. Senator Harrison has introduce? a bill compelling United State courts to accept as State law th legislative enactments of a State and the interpretation of Stat laws and the common law, mad) by the highest State courts, pro vided they do not violate the cou stitution of the United States, o conflict with the laws thereof. The postmaster general sub mitted to Congress his estimate o the deficiencies in the appropria tions for the postal service whicl amounts to over one and a quarte: million of dollars. The President sent in a larg? number of nominations to th( Senate during the week. Among them were several plums for Soutl Carolina. Mr. Malcolm Johnstone of Newberry, to be counsel at Per nambuco, Brazil, Geo. D. Bryan tc be collector of customs at Charles ton and, James R. Davidson to be postmaster at Newberry. The Peckham nomination for Justice of the Supreme Court was reported by a vote of 5 to 5 with out recommendation. After long consideration, in two executive sessions, the Senate rejected the nomination by a majority of nine. The Southern Inter-State Im migration Society has made ar rangements for a considerable number of medical experts to make a tour of investigation through the Southern States, and to report as to the general health of this much abused section. A number of these experts are now on their tour, and it is to be boped that their investigation will cor rect Hie prevailing impression that the South is a low swampy country full of miasmatic and contagious diseases, and that the tide of i migration will soon turn sou ward. The reports which reach capital concerning the buain situation are encouraging, a show there is a gradual and cided change for the better.

Mr. Shell, chairman of coil mittee on ventilation and ac coustics, is busily engaged wit experts trying to deviso means fo the better ventilation of the hal of. the House of Representatives. Mr. Talbert is one of the mos attentive and watchful membeis o the House. The Washington Poe of Thursday pays the followiu flattering compliment to him : Representative Talbert, of Soutl Carolina, is one of the- representa tive farmers who has come int Congress as the result of the move ment in the South, and in hi State in particular, which gave si much political prominence to mei engaged in agricultural pursuits He is also a good deal of a politi cian, having been a member of hil State Legislature, and the presi dent of the Democratic conven tion which nominated Tillman fo; Governor. But it is more as a far mer than as a politician that Mr Talbert likei to be known, and hil large plantations in Edgefieh county are his pride. It ie in this connection that som* interesting stories are told of Mr Talbert. There are some memben of Congress who since the han times began, have made it a prac tice to give a large portion of thei: salaries to the poor. Mr. Talbert it is said has always made it i rule in hib life to loan all of hil suplus money to the poor withou interest. Nearly all of his salar] goes in this direction,and all hf asked of his creditors is that the] return him the principal at th* end of a year. Mr. Talbert alec makes it a practice to give on< child of every deserving white ten ant of his plantations an education In this way he accomplishes t vast amount of good very quiety but most effectively. _WAJN.
