MR. EDITOR: The major portion of the card of the gentleman from Greenwood, Mr. Yeldell, as pub lished in your issue of the 2nd inst., seems to be an effort on his part to show that possibly he may have some legal right to retain the position as member o!: the House from Edgefield. True, as i a Greenwood gentleman says, t':e constitution provides "That in the event other counties are hereafter established, then the General As sembly shall reapport ion the re ? re8entatives between the counties. But the fact that no such reappo - tionment has as yet been ma e, and Greenwood is therefore with out representation in the House, is no fault of the people of Edgefield. And Mr. Yeldell's pitiful plea that should he resign as a member of the House, "the citizens of Cooper, Gray and Hibler, free-born Ameri cans, South Carolinians, sons of old Edgefield," would be disfran chised, is the merest twaddle-a plaintive whine, uumanly and glaringly affected. Especially so when we reflect for a moment upon the Greenwood gentleman's pro digious efforts to rob "Cooper, Gray and Hibler" of even their quasi representation in the House by having himself elected clerk of cjoiirtior Greenwood county; and later on, when the said Greenwood gentleman, the so-called member of the House of Representatives from Edgefield and moderator of the Edgefield Baptist Association, was struggling with might and main fo'r the office of Liquor Com missioner of the State of South Carolina I Truly, "Oh, consistency -thou art a jewel." Can't give up or resign what is not rightfully his own, because forsooth "Cooper. Gray and Hibler," "sons of old Edgefield" will be without represen tation iii the Souse/ Oh, Pony! Ponyl Pony! Why wilt thou thus try to hoodwink thy former Edgefield friends? Surely we have ever thought better of thee. Why not, Mr. Yeldell-why no! give your real motive for holding to an office which your own con science, as an honest man, musl tell you is not right, and say to th( world that there is ono hundrec and fifty dollars in (he office; o; ibat there isa certain matter foi tho betterment of Greenwoot county you wish to get through th< House ; or for some other motive hidden or sinister though it be Talk out like a man, Mr. Yelde but don't take the position that i you vacate your seat in the Hoes? "citizens of Cooper, Gray and Hib 1er" wtll he without representation Oh, no, don't do that now. Am don't say that you want the offic for the honors therein-becaus your conduct as usurper of th rights of the people, would voi tho honors, and you would harvey nothing but ashes and.shame an the contempt of all. And dou say that you, W. H. Yeldell, a bon fide citizen of Greenwood coun. have a legal right to hold an Edg< field office and represent the Edg< field people. Because that legi right hypothesis of yours is sri ject t ) more thau one construe.ic -a two-side? affair-to say notl ing of the true inte.xl of the lew c which you rely. And recollect, M Yeldell, that there is a higher la -Public Opinion-which alwa.1 prevails in the end. And Publ Opinion says that None But Edg field Men Have a Right to Fell Edg field Offices!

Jordan, of Phoen's, i the College for Women, Greenville, S. C. The exercises were conducted by Dr. C. S. Gardner, and be was as sisted by Rev. W. A. Rogers. The preacher for the occasion was Rev. J. S. ?. jrdau, of Phoenix, S. C., who read a few verses 6& and 124, and took for his text the 12th verse of the 116th Psalm, "What shal I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towarr1 "ie?" His exegesis of the text was singularly clear and comprehnsive, and greatly interest ed his audience, rith whom ho was in touch from the outset of h ? remarks. A well modulated voice and perfect ease of manner gave much pleasure to his hearers, while the plain . with which net h '? ?. his interrogate -, without delay ]m ?x of the congrege: and bountiee fr. Lord were dwel: to humanity, an * enactions that we? the few were poimea out. An moe*, are too often received with indif fereance or as a matter of course, but this does not lessen the obli gation of the creature to the Creator. Blessings become familiar, and the recipients neglect to rendel even thanks to Cod for abundant mercies. The application of the text was justly appropriate, au? the preacher in excellant phrase pointed out to the young ladies thc superior advantages and benefits showeied upon them during college days. He said that among the nations of the earth we livod ir ;he most favored, and among tht commonwealths which make up the nation none surpassed South Carolin , while the Piedmon region is the choicest belt lying betveen the blue mountains anc the blue ocean, and Greenville ii the most highly favored of any com muuity in this section. He urgee the young ladies to remember al the be fits conferred ou then inside and outside of the schoo during their stay in Greenvi! a and as a recognition of these all other benefits to render the bes service to God and humanity o which they are capable. Mr. Jordan is a modest, retirin; gentleman, not self-assertive be yond proper limits, and he was i comparative s ranger to hi cong ation. But in other day he was khown in o c community and was once a student m t eSoutl ern Baptist Theological Seminar when it was located here. He .' a natve of New England, and cam to the South prior to the war. H was a fa* Iiful '.dier of the South ern Conlederacy, and when th conflict wasclo8edhegavehimse] unreservedly to e cause of Chris whom he has served with W ever since.* With the exception c a few years in Marlboro Conn he has been preaching to church* in Abbeville and Edgefield com ties, where he is justly held in grei esteem.

Many years ago researches were made to establish the fact that maize belongs exclusively to this country, and was of American origin, ft was oelieved in 1837 that the plant in its wild state was extinct, and thus one of *he strongest arguments ti prove it. indigenous was lost. No evidence could be found in Europe Asia or Africa, to show that the plant existed prior to the voyages of Columbus in 1492,.or Pizzarro in 1524. Both of these navigators saw it growing, and we have now reason to believe that the Indians and Incas made use of the grain many years before these visitors arri /ed. We have corn that has been preserved for several hundrad years, and it r ay have grown over a thou saud years ago. In a dry state (his grain appears to be indestructible, and II ve in my possession some Peruvian corn that is certainly several hundred years old. It is dry aud friable, is of a red color, and yields a white meal. It was buried with a so-called mummy prior to ' the year 1555, and how long before history does not tell. Peruvian corn was in small ears, from three to eix inches long, and bore grains point?e} on the top, not rowe but somewba imbricated. It was ev:'den"y far removed from the wild stock. From four to six ears have been grown on one stalk, and ears pro duced of very remarkable length. Su$?r corn was introduced in 1779, p.nd now it and popcorn 4iav? entered into the race, and larger corn has entered into the race, nd larger varieties are being oduced. The commercial variety lown as "turkey corn'' is not uaize and does not bear irs grain on ea: 8, but on the top in the tassel, [as the broom corn does. Turkey ?corn is about eight feet high, and bears a small rounded grain which is either white or pinkish. In the East it is known by the name cf Dura. The Turks and Egyptians grow iLdi n corn, it is true, but it WHS originally obtained from America. Turkey corn and maize have often been confounded by botanical writers. "Ble de Tuaquie' isa distinctive grain. Indian corn in its wild state has been found in Arizour. Southern 9Texas, the valley of Mexico, aud Central America. Rocky Mountain corn I have known a long period of time; it has very small ears.

The plant varies a foot and a half to fifteen feet in height, aud in ears from two to sixteen inches in length, We find in modern Indiau growtha ears that are of a uniform gamboge yellow, white, black, blue and red besides mixed colors. We have also several varieties of popcorn sugar corn and field corn. Most of corn grown by Indians is in small rc oded grains except thai of the liff dwellers, who appear te have been in a measure ac agricultural people. Their cobt were thin and their grains in rows but individual grains were largei and square ended. Indented corn seems also to have been knowi among them.
