Chamberlain to Kinipton. The following letter was written by Chamberlain, while Attorney-General of South Carolina, to H. H. Kimptou, then Fiuancial Agent of the State: "OFICE OF THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL., ( oLuluIA. S. C.. Jan. 5. 1870. "MY DEAR KIMPTO- : Parker ar rived last eveniug, and spoke of the G. & C. matter, &c. I told him that I had just written you fully on that matter, and also about the old B'k Bills. "Do you understand fully the plan of the G. & C. enterprise? It is pro posed to buy 8500,000 worth of the G. & C. stock. This, with th 4, 000 of stock held by the State, will give entire control to us. The Laurens Branch will be sold in February W.y decree of Court and will cost not more than $50,000, and probably not more than $40,000. The Spartanburg and Union can also be got without diili culty. We shall then have in G. & C. 168 miles. in Laurens 31, and in S. & U. 70 miles-in all 209 miles-equip peci and running. Put a first mlot gage of $20.0() :3 mile on this, sell the bonds at 85 or 80, and the balance, after paying ali outlays for cost and repairs, is immense, over 82,000,000. There is a mint of money in this-or I am a fo.l. "Then we will soon compel the S. C. R. R. to fall into our hands, and complete the connection to Asheville, N.C. "There is an indefinite verge for power before us. "Write me fully and tell me of any thing you want done. My last letter was very full. "Harrison shall be attended to at once.

CoL-MBIA, Saturday, September 29.-It is rumored among Republi cans in Columbia that Worthington has received from Washington notice to "quit" his office as collector of the port of Charleston, and that the notice will be followed up in a very few days by his removal. Worthington has engaged Judge Brewster, of Philadel phia, to defend him in the pending prosecution against him. Patterson has likewise engaged counsel, having employed one Cook, of Washington. As has been already stated in The NYews and Courier, Patterson will take the ground that as United States Senator he has the same privilege as a mninster of the United States, and that having been elected and commissioned as Senator subse quent to the time his offences are al l'eged to have been committed, lie cannot be brought to Columbia for trial until his term of office expires. All the fugitives now in Washing ton or at the North expect an attack all along the line about the first of Oc tober, and are making their prepara tions accordingly. By common cou sent, the first step in the common de fence will be to raise the question of Governor Hampton's authority, in the. hope of sccuring as much delay as possible, and of ultimately transferring the trials-,from the State to the Fede ral Courts. Cardozo is now living in Washing. ton, near the Howard University. oge, it is said, has gcne to Canada, and Kimpton has disappeared from his old haunts about New York. (Cor. News and Courier.

'For Te: ms, see first page. A Necessity. Another railroad to Newberry is a necessity. Unless we get it we will go down hill sure. It is ei ident to the most casual obsei ver, and emphat ically and painf lly evident to our merchants, that Newberry has lost much of her trade. We have as clever a class of merchants as can be found anywhere. They are vill ing to make only a reasonable pro fit off their goods, and will sell as low as possible. But they cannot possibly sell as low as Greenville or Spartanburg, or any other place where freights are low. Two or three years ago large quantities of cotton came here in wagons from Laurens County. Where does it go now? We noticed the other day that some gentlemen near Cross Hill, who have heretofore traded at this market, had barled their cotton to Greenville. Anoth er patron of this market, who lives only seventeen miles from here, has been carrying cotton to Greenville. He says he saved $25 by it in one tiip. A gentleman of this county asked us a few days ago whether it would pay him to hail his cot ton to Greenville and get his groceries there. And we under stand that this question is being asked constantly by people living in a few miles of Newberry Court House. So that we are in danger of losin.g not only the trade of ad joining cotmties, but a large part of that of our own also. There is opposition to the - road. Some say we can't bear to be taxed. But we can bear it. It wou!d be economy to build a road by taxa tion. Take an average farmer, who sels ten bales of cotton each year. With another railroad here freights would be so reduced that he co&id sell his cotton for a quarter of a cent more per pound. He would therefore save ten dollars on his cotton, which would be a great deal more than his share, of the taxes to build the road. And he would save proportionally on his groceries and dry goods. The road would benefit cvery portion of the county. A distin guished citizen of Chester, in a pri vate letter to the Editor of the HERAID, says, "Chester would not be dep::ived of the benefits she de rives from having two roads for double what bo0th roads cost her." Such would be the feeling here. Citizens, wake up ! The State Fair. We have received a premium list of the State Agricultural and Me chanical Society for the Ninth An nual Fair, to be held in Columbia the 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th of November next. Every preparation is being made to make the occasion one of great interest. The Secretary and Treasurer, Thos. W. Holloway, makes the fol lowing announcement : I. The officers and members of the State Agricultural and Mechan ical Society woald cordially invite farmers, manufacturers and me chanics to contribute specimens of their skill, ingenuity and taste to this exhibition, so as to make it a true index of the progress made by the State in arts and agricultre. II. Especially do we invite the earnest co- operation of the woMEN of the country to contribute by the refinement of their taste and the exhibition of the results of domestic industry to add to the beauty of the display, and to show how large a part in the improvement of daily life is due to the quiet but useful labors of the hearth and home. Mitary Prizes at the Fair. It has been decided to offer a premium of 8400 to the best drilled infantry company which may com pete for it at the State Fair from any quarter ; $100 to the best drill ed infantry company in the State ; $100 for the best drilled infantry company in the State outside of Charleston and Columbia; $100 for the best drilled artillery compa ny in the United States, and 8100 for the best drilled cavalry company in the United States. At least two companies must contend for each Frand ! Fraud t ! The Committee appointed by the Legislature to investigate the penal and charitable institutions of the State, have overhaled the recoi ds of the Orphan Asylum in Colmnbia. The fkuds appropriated by tlie Legislature for this institution have been shamefully wasted and squan (bred. The Asylum was nda ihe special management of the Richiand negro Senator, Beverly Nash. The luxuries bought and paid for out of the State's money were evidently used by outside parties. The or phans were nearly or quite all ne groes. The average attendance per year was fifty, and the average an nual appropriation 815,000, or 83, 000 for the support of each orphan -and the orphans fared badly with that amount. Among the accounts is an item of 8134 for whiskey, and another for 8500 worth of cai peting in one year. It is rumored that a third-class grocery store in Colum bia was supplied out of the Asylum's larder, as were also the pantries of one or two outside parties. R. R.

Our choice for the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court is Hon. W. D. Simpson, of Laurens, our Lieutenant-Governor. In character, learning and legal ability he is eminently qualified for the position.

As the trip of' Mr. Hayes n*id his friends draws to a close, it is proper to note the unwarving entlhl:siasn with which they have been everywhere received. From Louisville to Lynchburg, in every place so far visited, the people have turned out in large num bers, and, speaking through their best mer, have heartily welcomed their benefactor. Indeed, so warm and so generil has been the reception given him that even the most in fat.ut.d "IIaves man" will know better than to ascribe any political signilicanee to it. A dozen or so of wild Indians arrived here lately. They conic to treat with the Government. I don't know what a wild Indian on the plains or in the mountains with his war paint on may be like, any more than Gen'l Howard does, but these now here are as dirty and low a lot of creatures, I should think, as the sun .shines on. Some of them make treaties by day, and turn a civilized penny by night at a variety theatre, exhibiting themselves. It is found to suit the tastes of a large class to look upon the possible murderers of Canby, Custer, and the hundreds of other soldiers who have been killed in the last few years, and the show prospers. Damage was yesterday done to the Patent Office building to the amount of ahont $300,000 by fire. The lower stories of the building were fire-proof; the upper are-or rather were-not. Fortunately, the Land Records, most of the Patent Records and many models of iidustries, were in the un burned pon tion of the building. The Indian Bureau, also located here, saved its papers. The worst result of the fire will probably be interminable litigation growing out of the loss of mnodels. In many cases they can not be accurately reproduced, and the fu ture Senator Conkling, who gets a large fee for arguing that a particular peg was driven perpendicularly and not obliquely into the bar W, in a model lost in a former fire, will find in this greater conflagration renewed and enlarged profits. The loss !o the Government is small, as the magnificent building was erected at the expense of in ventors. The subject of turning over what remains of the building to the Patent Bu reau, to which it belongs and erecting a new one for the other Bureaus of the In terior on the large reservation a few squares east, will be discussed this winter in Con gress. An estimate made by those who oppose Government aid to the Texas Pacific Rail road shows in brief the following facts: To various Pacific Railroads-Union Pacific, Central Pacific, Kansas P'acific and North ern Pacific-the Government has given 82,000,000 acres of land, and loaned it bonds to the amount of $65,000,000, and paid interes on thmee. bopds to the amount o f $25,000,000. These figures have been compiled, as I said, by those who oppose aid to the Texas Pacific, but that road can do no better than assist in circulating them. A very natural inquiry will be why, if these enormous subsidies have been given to en terprises purely Northern in their inception, their execution and their benefits, may not a little be given for the development of ano ther section ? It has been popularly and correctly be lieved that G*en'l Grant'i hierary acquire ments were far from considerable. Ie has good command of expressive language in which to clothe such ideas as he possesses, but his reading has been slight. I am not certain that he expects to meet Shakespeare when he lunches, as lie has agreed to do, at Stratford!-on-Avon, but it is likely he has rather confused ideas of the countless chi,r aeters associa:ed forever with the place. IIe will chirm all his American admirers if, with the sound sense which somnetimnes fills the place of good taste, he will on this occasion refrain from exposing what hic cannot conceal if he speaks. Gen'i McClellan's return to politics is of interest to all. Wherever one goes he finds admirers of the General. Besides the posi tive merits of the man, and the services lhe rendered tlhe country, he has the advantage of being generally considered one wbo has udeservediv suffered at the hands of un scrupulous but powerful politicians. This belief is not confinied to conservative men, but is held by very many radicals. He will certainly receive a very large vote in New Jersey, and as certainly make an excellent Governor of that State. One thing that will be temporarily sus pended by the great fire mentioned above is Secretary Schurz's system of invesLiga tions. He may indeed "hire a hall" to hold them in, but it is not believed lhe will do that. The great value of the great Secre tary's innumerable investigations will be seen when it is known that one set of sus pcted employees is set to investigating mother, and instructed to do it in seret. SOLON. FOR THE IIERALD. No Music ? MR. EnITOR :-An article in your paper iaded "No Music" caime to my notice quite -ecently, else I would have sooner emnbramced he opportunity to pen this reply. I do not know how much Newberry has pent for purchasing instruments for brass )ands, and for lessons in instrumental and rocal music. Like in all other eases it de >ends very much upon which side of the >ietuire we behold! Your then corresnon lent asserts, that for the money expended n Newberry for music, its citizens might, ave bought and, built almost anything and ivrything. If this is so, it is strange that eachers of music have little cash to show, md I know that some of them had to leave \'ewberry with borrowed cash! While reading the article of "No Music," camne to the conclusion that there can be< i music in that writer's soul, and if per bance lie did take ary lessons in music, I eel inclined to sympathize with the teacher; ather, for I fear that the unfortunate teacher ad to book him as "unpaid." The narrowness of his soul would as little >ermiit him to pay his music teacher, as lhe vould help to "build the road to Ashford'si erry, or a splendid market house, or con I ribute to beautify the cemetery, decorate to any object that may benefit their town. "No Music," I am afraid, had his brain on fire when he gave birth to such bright comparisons, and succeeded in "raising a toot" when all Newberry was musically silent. Like inest moralists he sems to have overlooked tha. the iumrtal "Vill's" re cord might be most appropriately applicable to himself. A PROFESSOR OF MUSIC, Who did not become over-rich while in Newberry. The article to which our correspondent refers was written in this office. We know he can't accuse us of having no miusic in our souls, for we are just chock full of it and running over, and have paid pretty dear for it, too. The facts are, however, as we stated them. We will not undertake to say how many brass bands have been organized and disbande'l here since the war, nor how many music teachers we have had. Suffice it to say, a great many-some first-rate teachers too ; and yet, as we said before, Newberry can't raise a toot now. -ED. HERALD. GRANGE DEPARTMENT.

The Pomona Grange meets the first Mon days in January, April, July and October, at Mayes & Martin's Hall, Newberry, S. C. Sub. Granges are urgently requested, as well as required by our law, to make their quar terlyreports promptly at our next meeting in October. JOHN S. HAIR, Master P. G. A. J. KILGORE, Secretary P. G. An arrangement has been made with the Newberry HlERAID, oir County paper, to have a Grange de partmnent. By this arrangcmen t, ques tions and answers can be published and much information given that could not otherwise be obtained. All members of the Order-particularly members in our County and our neigh boring Counties-are asked to contri bute any articles that may Seem of interest to the Order, and to farmers generally. Write any and all prac tical ideas that suggest themselves, and such will be certain to be appre iated. Let's determine that each and all will do something to make tis arrantuement instructive and in teresting. We must assist each other to keep this organization alive and active, and not only improve ourselves, but increase the circulation of our' County paper. The mem:bership fee in the New York Cotton Exchange is $5,000 those of New Orleans and other cities are heavy-besides each member pays, annually, dues in some exchanges amounting to two or more hundred dollars. Thcse men, who handle the product of thc farmers, know the value of organization-they know it is worth paying for-they regard it as their best instrument-so do all other pro fessions or business organizations com bine to protect and continue their organization and success. T he farmer Patron should take a lesson from this combination. The Granger, who pays a member ship fee of $5.00 and an annual due of $1.20, is told that his money is thrown away, while the member of the Cotton Exchange pays thousands to support his organization-in their sombination they are educated to their interest. It is upon the same princi ple that a farmer goes into the Grange. [t is the only organization ever built for his benefit, and its teachings, to ;his time, have forever established it, while the plow supports the world. Coo little attention is paid to our edu ation and protection. J. S. IIAIR, Master Newbcrry Pomona Grange. Newberry, Oct. 1, 1877. 'he Outlook for the Grange. "Watchman tell us of th e night, What the signs of promise are. Traveler, o'er yon mountain height Comes the promised morning star." I wonder if all the members of the rder of Patrons comprehend and un Iirstand the progress made in the ight direction during the last five ears. If understood in all its length mud breadth there would be encour igement on every hand. Five years ago the producing class a were content to reach the largest teuti h a fpouto,cn -esut tgivn the liyof' shredton, their entdto gite the whontookharetofmaheir u..-1- in ihne who took it to mar- 1 and women designed for the so-called learned (?) professions should be edu cated, and that, too, at the expense of the State, while those engaged in ag ricultural pursuits plodded along in the old dull routine, content that the class which pays their full share of the taxes, and which furnishes four fifths of the property exported to for eign countries should surrender to the favored few the absolute control of public affairs, and leave the duty - of legislation to the members of one pro fession while they cultivated the soil. But a wonderful change has come over the spirit of the people. We remember well when the Grange movement first began to attract atten tion, it was wet on every hand by open or secret ridicule. A prominent railroad magnate on Wall street, on being asked what would be the effect of the Grange movement of the West on railroad securities replied "It will not amount to anything; they have not intelligence enough to agree among themselves for one year ; and if any enterprise required but a dollar from each farmer, they would let it die for want of money." This was the opinion of a man who had accu mulated millions from the industry of the country, and who probably never earned an honest dollar in his life. Nor were his views singular. Con tempt and derision are mild terms to express the estimation in which this famous movement was held by the class who thought that in some way they incarnated in themselves the wealth and wisdom of the nation. Farmers were a useful class to produce corn, wheat and meat, but anything beyond this was outside their sphere. When the first attempts were made by an outraged and indignant people to assert the sovereignty of the State over soulless corporations, what a howl went up about "granger legislation." When a railway ouficial in our State was remonstrated with because his company refused to obey the law of the comimonwealth, he replied with pampered insolence, "that may be Granger law, but it is not railroad law." The conflict between the people on the one hand and the greed of corpo rations on the other, has been a bitter one. Th,)se who first entered upon the contest did so with a full realiza tion of its magnitude and importance. But even their friends scarcely hoped for success. On one side was the ablest talent with unlimited wealth at command, and for them better than all a perfect unity of interests and complete organization. On the other hand there were only the masses of the producing classes unaccustomed to work together, living for the most part in isolation, without cohesion of effort, and strong only in the deep sense of oppression and the justice of their cause. These im mvense organizations of capital claimed that they were over and above all leg islative control. The old idea of the "divine right of kings" was tame in 'omparison with the views held by these men in respect to their "yested rig'hts." The thought that the peo ple had any vested rights was not for a moment entertained. Step by step the battle was fought through every court in the land up to the court of lest resort in thIe nation. But as time wore on, in halls, in school houses by the fireside, in the fields, men and women began to canvass the subject. In every Grange in this broad lanid, in the iinter's camp, in the mianufac.tories and counting-rooms, the workers in forest. mine, mill and field, began to ask, which is supreme, the corporations or the law ? This great fraternity, which finds its mem bership in every neighborhood from Maine to Tenas, gave power and co hesion of purpose until finally the courts of highest resort have affirmed the princi ple that the will of the peo ple as expressed throuigh T nEIR C HO SEN REPRESENTATIVES IS THE SU PREME LAW OF TIHE LAND and THE STATE IS SOVEREIGN OVER ALL COR PORATIONS. We may well feel re joiced over .this result, and may be pardoned if we stop for a moment to shake hands and congratulate each other. Not alone in this, however, do we see signs of progress. Tihe awakened intelligence among farmers, the inquiry and study as to how we may inaugurate more intelligent and successful methods of husbandry, and how we may buy and sell to better advantage are significant of a forward movement in these direc tions and give rich promise for the future. Manufacturers and business men are also fast coming with us to the conclusion that they as well as ourselves, have supported an unneces ary number of men between the pro ducer and consumer-that the surplus can be dispensed with to our mutual advantage. They, as well as ourselves, ae rapidly learning that it will be for the benefit of all when the producer ad consumer shall come in a more friendly and economical contact. But while we pause to pass con gratulations, while we bend in reverent hankfulness to the Great Master 'who Las sustained and blessed our labor, yhile we feel grateful to the brave md earnest men and women, scattered >ver the length and breadth of our and, who hav.e stood shoulder to houlder, who have been tried and ound faithful, let us not forget that 'etern.al vigilance is the price of iberty," and that our watchword must till be '"fraternity and co-operation."
