There is another feature of the ex emuption law which may curtail the exemption of personal property still further. If the words of the consti tution he held to restrict or limit leg islation. whieb we think is the case, theza there can be no exemption of pecrsonaity to one not owning a home stead, for the words of the constitution arc as follows, after setting apart the sre etate, it proceeds thus: "To secre hefull enjoyment of said hometeadto the person entitled thereto or the head of any family, the Personl property of such person of iiefollowing character, to wit, &c." Does this positive enactment negate an~y power ini the Legislature to eni arg as well as diu>inish the homestead1 or eemtn?

Three years ago, when they got onUtrol of the House, they were (Theidedy a green set. and com litted several hig blunders. One Of these blunders was the passage of a bill providing for a free and iir Prcsident'al election; the in. tention of the law was good, but the Republicans seized upon it at once as the very thing they wanted and used it as an excuse for flood ing the South with troops to pre vent intimidation. The Democrats -re wiser now; at least they are so in a political sense, and that is overything in this country-the whole politics of the United States is nothing more than a fight between two parties for the control of gov eirnment. It is vell known that since the war the United States Courts have been instruments of oppression. It has always been impossible for a Southern man to get a fair trial in these Courts. By an act of Con gress a man who could not take the test oath-declaring that he had always been loyal to the United States govern-ment--was disquilfied as a juror. Only a short while ago Col. Hutson Lee, a prominent and highly respected citizen of Charles ton, having b)een drawn as a juror, was objected to by the United States District Attorney on the r:ound that he had been a Confed rate soldier, and therefore could not take the test oath. That sin lei instance ~iustrates the injustice of the law. The House at its pres mnt sessionl made an amendment io the ap)propriationl bill repeahng the jnror's test oath. The Senate, ith a Republican majority, refused ~o adopt the amendment. The iouse insisted upon its amendment nd declared its purpose not to pas hIo appropriation bill at all this ~essionl without the amendment. If he appropriation bill had not been >assed tis session an extra session 'titer the 4th instant would have een necessary, and at that session >oth House and Senate wvould have >een Democratic, and could there ore adopt the amendment without liftieul ty. The Republican Senate, mowing this, acceeded on the 25th 11i., to the amendment, and the est oath has been repealed. The ~ualification for jurors now in the V. S. Courts is the same as in the tate Courts. The House gained a victory reater than the one just mention d in repealing the election laws. several years ago Congress passed1 law giving to the President au hority to appoint Supervisors of lection for every State in the nion, who were clothed with ex raordinary powers. The President ~as invariably appointed men as upervisors who would use their 1)0 ition to secure the election of men f their own party. The evils of this aw were st.rong-ly felt in New York t the election last November, wheni housands of Democrats were pre 7eted by the supervisors from oting on the groiud that their atnraization papers were not cor ect and valid. The House amend d the appropriation bill by a clause eealing this lnw and placing the ppontientof supervisors in the andts of the Governors of the respee ve States. The Senate was more tierly op posed to this than to the pe-al of the i;est oath: but. findring eir olppositionl 'eless, ac-ce-p ed ei :unendmenl C~t.

In 1808 a treaty was Concluded between the United States and C;hina, known as the "Burlinghamne Treaty" from the name~ of tihe indi vidual who was chieflv instrumiental inl bringling it ab)out. By that treaty free commerce was establish ed between the two nations; theo security of th1e American mission aries was guaranteed, arnd the ports of each country were cpened to the citizens of the other. In conse quence of that treaty many Chinese came to the United States, settling principally on the Pacific coast. Thfey proe g- workers. honest,. thrifty and economical. A Chinee can live on much less than an American ; lie has no extravagant vices. On this account he can work cheap. He brought down the price of labor, and this brought trouble. Men of the stripe of Dennis Kear ney raised the cry 'othe Chinese must go." A great majority of the people on tihe Pacific c.oast took up the cry. Congress took the matter in hand, and has just passed a bill forbidding, under he.ayy penalties, any master of a vessel from bring ing more than fifteen Chinese to any port of the Uinited States at one trip. Tihe President has vetoed the bill. It is very seldom that wve see la dies in a Couirt House in attend ance on triais as spectators. In the North, however, it is altogethe~r different. Ladies there attend all sorts of trials. Even divorce a.nd b)reach of promise suits, smutty as they generally are, are listened to by ladies and young girls in their :e::s.

On the 25th ult., Senator Came ron, of Wisconsin, called up the resolution declaring D. T. Cor bin entitled to the seat as Senator from South Carolina.

A pleasing revolution in hair dressing has just been accomplished in Paris. All puffs and bows and braids and fussifications on the top of the female head have vanished into thin air.

To say no1i.ngltr of the high figures for cash. Now we see that they offer the soluble for 500 lbs. and tle acid for .75 lbs. of cotto:. Why is it that at a suboequent convenDon they have re daiu.xd it ? Because the farmers would not buy it. It would not pay them to -me it and these guano men knew it. It is in the power of the farmer to have it still reduced. At this age wheu gold is at par and everything has decreased in value and labor cheap as it is. fertilizers must be placed on the market at a price that farmers can utilize them with a profit or the imanufacturing thereof must culminate in a hopeless failure. Using g-uano has become a unliver sal habit more for the sake of in creasing the yield of the crop, and as a worthy member of your Pomona Gra;ge has it, seens to be the result of laziness. The Southern farmers must study economy, agricultural economy. There are thousands of dollars expended every year by each County in this State. in fact throughout the whole cot ton belt for commercial manures, and what is the beneficial results ? The cotton crop is i::creased about 50 per cent. and the expenses to make it in creased in proportion, and the average farwer must acknowlege that he is no better now for using it that when it was first imTported from Chincha Is land in the shape of Peruvian Guano. If* the farmaers could be induced to invest the money they spend annually for guano in home made manure, that hypochonidrical felin~g from the drain of guano payments would not exist in the couuitry every year. Nature. has mrovide2d an immense reservoir fromx which inexhaustible quantities of good manure could be made, coutaining potash, lime and am moniaz, and many of tihe ingredients farmeors import from the phosphate beds of Charlestou and the soluble hills of B:dtimzore. The Pomona ('range of Newberry displays a concert of action. It is through the Grange-her Alma Ma ter-the kindred art is nourished and fostered, and the Grange is as verita ble an institution for conventions and combinations as Guano Companies or Rail Roads or any other branQh of in dustry. The blessings of heaven will evoutually descend upon the heads of that society or people who has the sublime courage to discourage the use of commercial fertilizers in this im poverished country. Not mere than 10 per cent. of the amount used lust year and previou~s years has been pur.chased in JiEdgefield County up to the present time, anid we hope that the farmers are not waiting for the price to come down, but that they aire reflecting upon the feasibili ty of retiring forever from the field of guano traffic. There is no time more propitious for action than now, and the efforts made by the Pomona Grange to discourage the use of guano and vice versa home made manure and agricuxltprral econpomy, will be re corded as one of the greatest blessings conferred upon mankind. The use of guano before the war was almost a thing unk nowo, and yet the farmers made large and successful crops froni which they supported hundreds of ne groes entirely on the products of the far. Now, fellow-citizens, let us remem ber th]at times and things are chang ing, apid turn our attention to those crops (corn, wheat, oats, .chufas, ecc.,) that will be the means of building up thle country and placing it upon a firm basis financially'.

But two facts are im uortant ill this connection, and may prevent the final pas.age of the bills, and ImCke an extra se::sion necessary. First, both houses have added to the bills legi:Jation which is held by many in each House to be i.nproper on an appropriation bill. Second, the Senate has enornously increased the amount proposed in every -appro priation bill received from the House. If conference committees can arrange the differences resulting from this ac tion we shall escape an extra session. What the Senate will most stren ously object to is the addition by the House to the legislative bill of a clause repealing the infamous super visor law. This was accomplished and the bill passed by the House yes terday. To prevent final action on the measure yesterday, the Radicals had vareed to refrain from voting, know ing that the Democrats. owing to the absence of weinbers, had not.a quorum preseat. But enough Republicans voted to make, with Speaker Randall's vote, an exact quorum, and the repeal was voted. This is the second time that Speaker Randall, in affairs of grave importance to the South, has become her most conspicuous champion and efficient friend. On both ocea sions, too, his services were in the direct interest of constitutional govern. meat and the equality of the people. Among the incidents connected with the debates on the supervisor repeal measure was a shaap debate between Garfield and Banning. The former had repeated a stale charge that a Representative District in Cin cinnati had been carried in 1876 by the Dein oerats by means of "repeaters." General B3aning in a spirited1 manner resented this, and claimed and proved that on a fair vote the Democratic majority in the Cincinnati Districts would have been larger than it was. The unfairness of Garfield did] much to consolidate the Democratic vote for repeal. The Senate yesterday settled finally the South Carolina Sceatorial election question. Mr Corbini was an appli cant for tihe seat into which Mr. But 1cr was voted o year ago by a Radical Senate. 'The vote yesterday was thirty-six in favor of Senator Butler's right to twenty five for Corbin. To the post offiee appropriation bill the Senate. as stated in a previous let ter, has added pay for carrying the mails to Brazilian ports by two lines of American steamships. The latest indications are that the House will accept this, there being an evident change of opinion among Congressmen on the subject. DEM. DR.

I pr,posed, therefore, to resumeE cutive aut ho'rty for a fewi days to perform hese duties, but my health has never per jitted me to do so, and the recent decision f the Supreme Court renders it unne essary for me to take any action in this uat ter. I can, therefore now resign, with ut any prejudice to the State or any em arassmient to yourself, and in doing so I eel that I commit the Executive authority o one in every way worthy and competent o wield it. It will always be a source of pride and ratification to me to recall my official con ection with yourself and with the other fficers of State. We have been in perfect eord on all the great public questions hich have agitated the State, and our per onal relations have been those of the clqs st friendship. In seyerinug my connection rih them officially, I beg to express my/ reat obligations to them and my earnest / ishes for their prosperity and success.
