<!i.tu Acxiugton gispatcU. j WEDNESDAY APRIL <J, 1884. G- M. BARMAN, - : - Editor. PEEEFERBY. It has long been a clear point that the towasbips of the Fork should have better facilities for reaching the Court-bonse and other points on this side of Saluda Biver than they have heretofore enjoyed. Citizens coining to the Court-liouse from other por tions ot tne county can uo so wuuoui having to pay ferry tolls, but the citizens of the Fork have to run their hands in their pockets every time they cross the river whether on private or public business. This does not appear to us to be altogether a fair thing. There is Saluda Township, for instance, which has not a i single bridge in her limits for the county to build or maintain, yet this township contributes her full share of taxes to support the bridges in other townships of the couuty. Is not Saluda fairly entitled to some compensation for such one-sided outlay? We think so. The way to so compensate her is for the County j Commissioners to lease or buy Wyse's Ferry, place a first-class flat and wire rope tbere and hire a ferryman to ? . attend to it. We suppose the lease | could be made for a small figure, the j flat and rope would cost, we believe, | not more than $200 at the most, and j foM-i-mon pnnld ho hirorl ?f. Rsitr I tilu iOIIJUiUU VVU1M vv vv* $12 per month. If the County Commissioners find that they cannot provide, under the law as it now exists for the maintenance of highways and bridges, for the necessary expense of establishing and maintaining the ferry, then they can ask the Legislature for a provision for a special annual tax to cover the purpose, which tax, after the first year, would be very light. There is no doubt that such a ferry, so constructed as to run at all stages of the river, would prove of vast convenience to the citizens of the county, and more especially those of the Fork. We suggest Wyse's as the place for the ferry, from the fact that at usual stages of the river par- , ties in the lower part of the Fork can cross at Dreher's Ford. HABD ON SHESMAN. Mr. Nicholls, of Georgia, offered in , the House, last week, a resolution calling for an investigation of the lawlessness that has recently been manifesting itself in the loyal State of Ohio, and that John Sherman's , Danville or Copiah County Commit tee be given the job. This rebuke to Sherman was richly deserved. He ] has made* violent purtisan efforts to fix a stigma upon the people of the J whole South because of two disturb- i , . . ] , ances which were mere street rows i ' * . 1 1 ^compared with the bloody riot at ] ^jcionati. For political effect he ! ybald excite sectional prejudices and j jBsail the character of an entire people. He cares nothing for the bus- i ] jpess interests which bind the sec- j [.ions of our country in close bonds of i ( mutual interest, or for the patriotism which teaches us to uphold the char- ' acter of the country and foster frater- : ft if nal feelings among all the States, j His partisan venom would add new stains to the bloody shirt, provided that by doing so he could maintain his party in its corruptly used power. Sherman's own State now leads in violence, lawlessness and bloodshed. He professes to find the condition of : th8 South deplorable. What does he think of the condition of Ohio? Be- ' ycmd questiou, if anything like the scenes at Cincinnati had been enacted in any part of the South, John Sher man would have found in them, not 1 only the crazy acts of men maddened by appeals to their passions, but a proof of the lawlessness and ruffian- 1 ism of the whole Southern people, and a commentary on their Demo- 1 crat affiliations. Mr. Xicholls has but proposed for poor "honest John" to take a dose of his o wn physic. He doubtless found it nauseating. ZIPS PQZ EEPOEM. Ex-Gov. Eoglisb, of Connecticut, has surprised the protectionists by coming out openly in favor of tariff reform. It has been claimed that Connecticut was overwhelmingly in favor of protection, but there is strong and growing evidence that this is an error. Gov. English is one of the most prominent Democrats in his State, and he has been frequently mentioned as a probable Presidential candidate. In a recent interview he said: "The tariff is no earthly use to this State, or any of the New England States. My position, and that of every manufacturer with whom I have talked, Republican oir Democrat, is that the need of the country is the adoption of a policy which I would formulate, like this: A moderate tariff which sbaii bring to the country a j sufficient revenue to meet the current expenses of the government, and leave ! a small surplus to be applied to the j slow extinguishment of the national j debt." Gov. English has long been | known as one of the shrewdest politi- j ciaDS and closest observers in New ; England, and says that the Demo- j eratic party can win on the platform \ of revenue reform, and is ripe for it. j Every day the evidence is increasing j that the people ia all parts of the j "Union, Pennsylvania, perhaps, ex- i cepted, are enthusiastic for revenue reform, and to noue can they look except the Democratic party to represent that principle in the National coatest. The question now is, will [ the party be true to its convictions? j We believe it will. v / > EDITORIAL NOTES. ! Tbe State Republican Convention ! meets on the loth ins*. An insurance agent in York County is ready to write polices against loss by wiud, cyclones, &e. License or no license will be decided by the innuicipal election in Edgefield next Monday. Isn't it a little unmerciful to taunt John Sherman just now when he is so verv needful of sympathy? It has at last been found out that j Ohio is a bigger State than Copiah j Couuty. Danville can also take a i back seat; ite glory has departed. A tire broke out iu Louisville church during service last Sunday. It was with great difficulty that several of the congregation were awakened in time to save their lives. Gentlemen find but oue use for the nose. They use it to haug their spectacles on. But the ladies use it as a sort of hitching post when they tie on their hats with a piece of veiling. Many of the leading manufacturers of Massachusetts and Connecticut are coming out openly in favor of tariff reduction. Our Southern millmeu | appear not to be alone on this ques- j tion. The steamship Daniel Steinman was wrecked on the odjnstaut off the Newfoundland coast Ninety passengers and thirty-four of the crew were drowned. Only 6ix of the crew and three passengers were saved. Senator Fair, of Navada, has liberal viewg on the Presidential question. He wants the Democrats to nominate Bayard and the Republicans Edmunds, so the country will be assured of a statesman iu the Execu tive Chair. Will not the Danville sub-Committee now ask leave to sit in Cincinnati ? It can there get some expert testimony on the subject of riots that might be ingeniously worked into Senator Sherman's campaign documents. A square manly fight for tariff reform will win. A weak compromise or a protective &lant and the Democracy will lose without a doubt. The time has come for the Democracy to make a stand for its principles, and we believe it will do so despite the threatening defection of the Eastern wing. The tariff issue cannot now be avoided by the Democrats. It is impossible for them to make a "straddle." They either have to i surrender the question entirely and i , act the part of cowards, or they will have to meet it squarely and face the responsibilities.? Carolina Sparlan. The country is still in suspense, i Mr. Tiiden says he can't undertake 1 the lace?that Payne 19 the man for i the nomination. Mr. Payne says he 1 ;au not possibly be the candidate, 1 and that Tiiden is the man for the piace. There is not a country editor 1 in South Carolina who could not 1 Dame a half dozen better men than 1 either. < It is stated that several Congress- 1 men are urging the purchase by the government of a picture of the Elec- 1 coral Commission. It would be well 1 to have the picture ou exhibition in the Capitol; but, for it to be properly 1 ippreciated, it ought to be accompaaied by pictures of the Southern re- 1 turning boards being "fixed" by the : distinguished statesmen. The Educational Bill passed the J Senate Monday by a vote of 33 to 11. As passed, the bill appropriates $77,300,000 to be destributed for eight pears, according to the Hoar amendment. It differs also from the original bill by instruction as to the expenditure of the money. The States are tp Hpply at least an equal sum to that allotted to them for common school education. Reports have to be made by the States on the uses to which the money is put to the "Secretary of the Interior." The appropriations are not to be used for sec- i tarian purposes. Very disastrous fires prevailed in various parts of the State during the heavy wind of last Wednesday. Many turpentine farms, stills and saw mills were consumed in the forest conflagrations, among .which we notice that Mr. W. D. Caugbman, sen of Col. H. I. Caugbman, formerly of this place, who now lives in Richland County, lost his dwelling bouse, store, smoke house, barns, stables, saw mill, provisions, corn and fodder. Many other dwellings were destroyed. In portions of North Carolina the fires were very sweeping. In one section it-is said they extended along the Charlotte, Columbia aud Augusta Railroad for sixty miles. The most destructive riots in the history of the United States have ocr\n frn/1 ir? Vaot VrtrL? Pif toKnrrr Pa V/Ulica 1U ilCM JI.V/1II, JL i. and Cincinnati, Ohio, and are refutations of the false theory that the people of the Southern States are more a?- : dieted to outbursts of lawlessness j than those of other sections of the j Union. Human passions are alike everywhere, and wherever the predisposing causes exist, there volcanic ejections of fire and blood may be oc- j casionaiiy expected. Many of the Republican papers have been so per- j sistent in picturing tpe South as a lawless section that many well-weaniDg people have come to believe that there is lawlessness nowhere in the country except in the South. It is time that tbey know that the South ! is the most peaceable and law-abiding of all the other sections. Washington Letter. [From Our Regular Correspondent.] April otb, 1884. The first question, this week, which the House of Represenatives took up and briefly discussed was a resolution directing the committee on Public Health to investigate the adulteration of food, drink and drugs, which is affecting so deleteriously the health of people in this country. The innnirv was tirooosed for the Dumose M ? J r_r * * of ascertaining to what extent these poisonous compounds prevailed, and whether any legislation to prevent tbem in future was necessary. Teas, Olemargarine and the new commodity that the manufacturer calls creamerine were the principal items talked about. Repre6enative Parker said it had been shown within a few days by examinations in the State of New York, that the woikmen engaged in the manufacture of these substances were so affected by the acids used for deoderizing the filthy materials made iuto what they call dairy products that their nails fell from their hands and their teeth from their mouths. Mr. Browne of Ind., did not think this investigation was within the province of Congress. Mr. Wait of Conn., coutended that action by congress would be more effective than disconnected legislation by the various States. Hod. S. S. Cox complained that Congres was gettiDg omuiverous; it was taking in everything. There would soon be a committee to investigate how much sand the grocer put iu his sugar, and bow much water in his milk. He obiected to the nemetual interference 4 I 4 of Congress with local matters, and j to what be called, these microscopic bills, brought in for the purpose of I gettiog money out of the Treasury, j The House passed the bill with- j drawing the trade dollar from circulation early in the week, and next pro- i ceeded to discuss the Indian appro- j priation bill which calls for five millions and is still the pending measure. Bills and more bills were intro- j doced again this' .week, although ! eight thousand have already been i presented since the opening of the session, and five hundred are await- j iog the attention of the House. It is probable that Congress will adjourn i in June, and most of the House ! committees have come to the conclu- j sion that it will be useless to report { any more measures, however impor- | taut, as there will be no chance cf , their being reached during this session. This week again the Senate has wrestled with the Educational bill, ! involving Federal aid to common Bchools. Senator Coke delivered on j . . lit I argument against tne measure, noia ing it to be iuexpeodient and un- i constitutional, citing authorities "to 1 Bhow the Government has no right to , raise money by taxes for such dispo- i 3al as the bill provides. Senators George, Beck, Garland, and Lamar , discussed points raised by Senator , Coke, and Senator Blair, the father i of the meaeure, spoke briefly, taking i time, however, to hurl at the Ken- j tacky Senator, Mr. Beck, the declara- i tion that there was no question of : the superiority of woman amoDg all j races. The New Hampshire Senator bad been twitted by Senator Beck, for his advocacy of the sixteenth amendmeut, recently reported from | Mr. Blair's committee. The latter is j now confident of the passage of his i long cherished school bill. Among some rather unimportant j measures the Senate passed a bill to j improve coinage. It provides for a more perfect regulation of the relative i value of the minor coins, and their ' improvement as to metal, devices ; and inscriptions. The Educational question was put I aside tbe otber day in order mat Senator Piatt, who is not addicted to : long or frequent speeches, might ; dwell upon tbe necessity of making *i the Patent office a separate and i independent Department. He read i statistics showing the value to the ! country of inventive genius and i urged that more room and a larger force were needed to properly per- i form the increasing work. The Connecticut Senator did not have complimentary attention from other Senators during his argument. Scarcely three of his political bretheren occupied their seats at any une time, i while the dozen or so Senators on i the Democratic side were variously : employed. Seuator Saulsbury pro- I menaded tbe floor in rear of the J desks. Senator Gerland reclined full length on a sofa. Senator j Hampton read a newspaper, while : Senator Frye was absorbed in a pamphlet, and others attended to j their correspondence or chatted in i the cloak rooms. The chair was the | only audience beneath the galleries j that beard; but Senator Piatt's speech was good for all that. On the fol- | lowing morning seventy two Senators i were absent from prayers. Conse- j quently only five were in attendance. ' D j I rt?. Can't Deny It, While the assertion of Mr. Simeon i Caughman, the great dry goods sales- > man of Columbia, that no streams of! red hot lava have rolled down the j ctreets of that city is strictly correct, ; yst he cannot deny the fact that there j is always q. yplpapic eruption of goods ! from tbe doors of C. ? Jackson--"- ; brought out in the arms of willing j buyers at the lowest prices prevailing in that ccotre of dry goods palaces. 1 MMBwaenBBBBHaMaaMBMMnai An Easter Offering to St. Stephen's Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Miles and Miles of Fir^ Raleigh, N. C., April 4 ?For three 1 days and nights the most destructive j fires ever known in that section have been devastating six or seven ? Southern counties. Vast forests of j loDg-leaf pine, which formed the chief source of the timber supply, have j been attacked. The high winds ? fanned the flames into fury and hundreds of thousands of trees were burned and some of the largest j tarpentine orchards in the State were ruined. Many farm-bouses were destroyed. The people have ^been of towns narrowly escaped destruc- ; tion. At Manly, on the Ral?igh ?vand Augusta Railway, a number^ of houses were burned. Largo sltorts of lumber and railroad sills on the line of the road were also destroyed, aad a dozeu turpentine distilleries { were ruined. The County in great j stretches is but a blackened wilder- j ness. The extent of the disaster is not yet known, as the fire has swept ; here and there some fifty miles in one direction and thirty iu another. Lots from Rightwell.
