The justice ruled against him, allowing him only six, the number fixed by the statutes. He appealed to the Circuit Covrt, and Judge Mackey sustained the appeal, holding that when the Constitution guarantees trial by jury it means a jury of twelve men. Certain merchants of Winnsboro brought suit before a Trial Justice several weeks ago against the Char lotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail Road, to recozer back what they re garded as overcharges for freight on cotton. The road charged for the cotton by measurement, the merchants contending it should charge by weight. The suit before the Trial Justice was only to test the case. He decided against the road. An appeal was taken to the Circuit Court, and Judge Wallace reversed the decision. After the "Mionopolists." The Attorney-General, at the re quest of Comptroller-General Ha good, has given his opinion as to the taxation of the phosphate com panies. He decides: (1) That the - phosphate industries come within the designation of mines and mining claims, which are exempted from taxation ; the proceeds however are taxable; (2) That the "royalty" of .so much per ton paid by these com panies to the State is not in lieu of' taxes-; (3) That the gross proceeds of the companies are taxable.

Butler, of Massachusetts, is a much nominated candidate for Governor, having been nominated by three Conventions-the Green backers, the '-Butler Democrats" and the Independent Republicans. FOR THE HERALD, Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 24, 1879. The New York Democratic State Central Committee did a proper thing yesterday in "reading out of the par ty" persons who persist in opposing any portion of the State ticket. The motto of the party is and always should be "first pure and then peace able". The Californians of all parties and colors and conditions in life are giving to Gen. Grant an exceptionally hearty welcome. Probably the same would be done in any section of the country. The General and his excellent wife have friends everywhere in the Urnited States, as they deserv'e. Very few ex-Union or ex-Confederate soldiers, whatever they think of G-en. Grant's military ability, deny him excellent qualities of head and heart. All con cur in great regard for Mrs. Grant In the San Francisco celebration there has been so far a careful omission of any reference to politics, as was emi nntly proper- The General's judi cious friends here are much pleased at this. The writer has this day received from Hon. Geo. W. Ladd, RepreseuL ative of the 4th Maine District, and a most reliable man, the followings'sum ming up of the result in that State : "Our people regard the election as a plain indication that the Radicals can never agi carry the State. They can't begin- The Republican vote was all out- They voted every Maine man in the United States out of the grave. We had not the means, and could not do this, and at least ten thousand Democrats have not voted The result is this: No choice of Gov ernor by the people; House of Repre sentatives Republican by 20 or 25, and the Senate in doubt and will be in doubt until the official count." The producers of this country, the planters and farmers, as well as the manufacturers, will demand a hearing at the coming session of Congress re lative to opening new outlets for the sale of their productions. While we are every day growing as a producing people, and prosperous times are pro bably ahead of us, little has been done to provide markets for our goods, and if something is not done shortly, we shall have an over supply on hand, and dull times again. As it is now the ship owners and merchants of En. gland are carrying our goods at a hand some profit, and making commissions on trade of which we ought to have the entire benefit. If this system is allowed to go on the West and South will suffer, for it is in those sections that new prodt ztions are to be devel oped and will re quire new outlets to be profitable. - eading Democrats are thinking of this subject; and as the Democratic party is probably to pre dominate in those sections where new industries spring uo the party should take an especial ini erest in it. The trade with South America, which aught to bring wealt i to our Southern. ports, is nearly aU going to Europe now. What will Congress do about it ? It is plain ti-at private enterprise cannot cope with hAe British monopo lists backed by the a-fluence and libe - ral subsidies of the British Govern ent.

The Faicy Ball. DEAR 11 ERAID- I canuot allow the present pTIortunity to escape me for giving a (ra hr defective) description of the closig tx reises of Miss P.'s dlci;g 'Chool, which ecurred in the shape of a Fancy Ball, on riday th( 26h. We-that is Lady Wash gon and myself-arrived on the scene bout S P. M.. and founil that we had been recefed by seve:al-who, to judge from heir habits, must have traversed continents, nd crossed the rolling deep to put in their ppearance. By 9 o'clock, the spacious i>artments from ground to shingle, of Maj. V ad-ington's handsome residence-were fill d with a gay throng of bright and beautiul oing ladies, and manly forms, set off by andsome and appropriate costumes. We vouid like to give an accurate description if each, but fear that a treacherous mm-inorv vill prevent our doing so. in which case we >eg to say, that in our opiion, a failure to nention will detract nothing from the merit iue to the taste of every one present. From >ther motives than that of obedience :o the lictat -s of politeness, we are constrained to tive precedence to "Uncle Sam" who for the ight ha i cast hi mantle, and a gorgeous me it was, upon the burly foD of your ownsman, S. F. (Stephen,) who by the way s sure pop on hash. With a cosmopolitan tssL-iblage, it is natural to suppose that Uncle Sam" would be a conspicuous person ige in the U. S. of A., and so it was, for in vhatever direction his benign countenance vas turaed a combination of the Yankee quall, R ebel yell, English battle-c ., and ndian war whoop greeted the conde.cension. S-xt in oider I must mention the "Que-s' :iz: "Queen of the Fairies," Miss C. S., a baining and. truly fang-like little piece of aiuman loveliness, as well as a w'lful murder r of the quiet of mind of many of the stern :r sex present, for I was assured that she was scorted by a whole army of "upids, visih| )nly to the best looking of our youth; 'Queen of Scots", Miss C. M., one of New >erry's fairest daughters, admirably suited o her role, depicting with natural ease the ;ad beauty of Scotia's murdered bride; Queen f the Orient ("Aurora,") Miss H. A. K., il s u.eless to say, what every one saw, and :as seen who has watched the lights in thai pair of brown eves; but suffice it nothing Jhat borders on elegance, beauty or taste wa santing. Palmyra's captive qeen, golder ettered Zenobia, could she have come from be misty past, and seen herself a, represen ted )y Miss J. T. S. would have been envious 0: he graceful cir.

Folly, Miss M. B., all red, blue and bells .icite-I many "long drawn sighs" froin th rounf "lords of creation". Lady Washing on, Mrs C.

And now we come back to the "Lords" (?) kmong the many none were more distingue than our Heidelberg student, Mr. E. S.; ihe issumption of this character was a decided ait and did honor to the taste of Mr. S. R,ub Roy, Mr. J. K., was excellent. HenrY V, and fleny of Navarre, were both indispu tably good. The Militia Captain, Mr. M., ol Newberry, was one of the best characters re. ,reseuted; the unifbrm was superb, an(I the wearer did full justice to his regalia. Bfnu egard and his "Boys in Grey" were deCidedJ v additions in all senses of the word to th( Issemblage. "Barnum's Wnat is it," Mr. Mf., of Newberry, (progressive young ma n) was well gotten up. John Chinam:an was us! t.xo good to talk about.. And last, hmi ot least, was Old Pokyhatton, alias Sitniny Bull, altas Crazy Horse. alias Big HIugt. any and all of which titles could have be - properly spread over him an inch tick, it lspite the strenuous efforts of the Amnericar people to reduce him to a state of semni-civ "i ttion, lhe was caught trying to aprp it< Lady Washington's carriage.

I suppose i is nn~ecessary to mention the fact that t slipers did not have ali thle fun to, them, selves. Old "Big Hungry" put in at few turns of his war dance, and ocasionai.y dis. turbed the han~nony of floating strtins by dpressedi war-whoop, or roasted bufTak grunt, which scared Uncle Sammy out of h:is Regimnemals,' and caused the fairer portiot af the crowd to feel nei ously of their back ti:ir, supposing that "Old Crazy" would take that holt to lift scalps by. The daucing proved that Misses Dowell and Pearson hiad spared no pains to instruct an apt set o: schoars. About 12 o'clock suoper was -an. nounced, and the assemblage were ushiered nto the dining-room and ordered to "mntla Scharge" upon a well-filled table, whicli hev dlid in admirable style; and right her( ~omes in a character which I have resei ed or this place (for more reasons than one) he portl , jolly old "Kin<q Griffin," who hy ight of seniority and (holding) capacity, of cated as M- de C.

EC.: i:n rzcHnn, q. C., Sept. 12th, 1879. Pursuant to adjournient, Grange met this day and was called to order-W. M., J. S. Hair in the ( hair. Bro. Jno. T. Bynum was requested to act as Secretary. On motion of Bro. W. D. Hardy, it was resolved to proceed at once with a publ1iC discussion of the subject for to-day, viz: "The Cultivation of Wheat and Oats ;" all persons present being invited to participao. and that the Grange hold its private SeSion afterwards, in the afICnoon Bro. T. W. Hollow:- oponed the discus sion by reading a Essay L[which will be published next wak.] Bro. J. T. BynumIT tolowId by consider ing the subject of w heat under LIC follow ing heads, viz: Best locality and soil, Pre paration amiu manure, Variety of seed and treatment be"ore sowing, Time axtd manner of sowir_r. lizh, dIry fields naturally drained, north ern slopes best, stiff red soil, clean fallow the best preparation-for that reason our cotton fields "re best-get in fine tilth by -lo%ing and harrowing to make all ingre dients readily available to the iume;ous fibrous I-OOts. Cotton seed best manure, from 21) to 50 bu. per acre ; must be even ly distributed and covered to do greatest good. Early maturing varieties best for us, Amber and red are hardier and better adapted to our climate and soil; has suc ceeded best with "Fultz", obtained from Pennsylvania ; thinks it best to obtain seed front the North every three or four years as a pailiative against rust. We have but two enemies to contend with-smut and rust-as we never sow early enough for the "fly". Soaking seed in a solution of Blue stone-I lb. in enough water to cover 5 bu. of seed-is a sure pt eventive of smut. Rust can be palliated by locality, well drill ed lands, and if drilling, run drills North and South to admit sunshine and help get rid of the superfluous water from our spring rains, early maturing varieties, and, as said before, obtaining seed from further North every three or four years. After taking seed from Bluestone solution, where they have remaiued say 12 hours, roll in plaster or guano before sowing. From 15th Oct., to 15th Dec., best time of seeding ; land must be dry when plowed, never wet. Break and pulverize soil well, then either plow, brush in or harrow in seed, consider ing soil and time of soving, but ::on't thiLk it advisable to cover seed more than two inches deep no matter how late seeded. Broadcasting ashes or salt, say 2 to 5 bu. of former and 100 to 200 lbs. of the latter just before expecting rust, is said to be a preventive. All of us should raise enough wheat for home consumption at least. Consider the oats ciop the most impor tant one to our farmers-the cheapest horse food we can raise. Would recommend from experience, where one desires to seed on cotton land after pickirng over first tile, running a furrow on each side of cotton, leaving the ridge about one-half the dis tance of width of cotton rows; sow oats and manure in these furrows and cover by running thle plow in the centre-int 3 feet cotton rows, we would thus have oats in drills 18 inches apart. After cotton is out and at any tin.e during winter beat down cotton stalks, and from 15th Feb., to 15th March, cultivate oats by run ning small plows between drills plowing up old stalks. Con sider this the cheapest and best plan to raise oats on cotton land, as the seeding can be done tihe last of Sept. or 1st Oct. Bro. J. W. Epps-Last year by breaking cotton land latter part Nov., three times with bull tongue twiters, applying 30 bu. cotton seed and 167 lbs. Am. Dis. Bones, he averaged 26}j bu. of wheat. to acre ; sowed "B owden", a white variety, likes it best, makes finer and whiter flour than red. Trhis year with only one breaking and 25 bu. cotton seed, he averaged 16 bu. per acre. Not much experience with oats, like nearly every one else, so wing them upon land considered too poor for anything else, aud always reaping failures. Bro. E. P. Chalners-Experience with wheat is poor ; efforts to raise generally re sulting in failures. We have climate and soil and need only due diligence and care to succeed ; advise the young farmers to get wives ; get rid of planting so much 4iot ton and they can succeed, not only with wheat, but with the whole farm. When we have all cotton to pick there's no time to sow grain, and when grass is growing in a big cotton field we have no time for har vesting. Oats is a gross feeder and will succeed where other grains fail-will with-I stand bad treatment bettor than any other. Don't think these red lands in ric'nity are1 as good and safe for oats as the gray and sanldy soils of other parts-they need Silica. Oats is an important and necessary supple-1 ment to a short corn ct-op as horse food, so sow largely this Fall. Two bu. of Oats bet ter than one of corn, and we can get three times as much oats as corn from same land and save expensive cultivation. High time our farms were made self-sustaining by raising more graint. Bro. J. L. Sims-Has made a total failure in raising wheat since the war. On land where previously he was accustomed to make from 30 to 40 bu. he cannot now make more than 5 bu. per acre. Have tried all manner of preparation and plowing with out supcess. Mr. E. Geo. Keitt-A young farmer with out a wife and no probability of having one, consequently doesn't care to raise wheat, but prefers to devote whole time to corn, cotton and other products of the farm. Bro. W. .D. Hardy-Has never made what he considers a good crop of wheat, highest yield obtained 11+ bu. ; but has never taken any extra pains in preparing or manuring. In Dec. last sowed 2 qts. of "Moles' Red Winter Wheat," obtained from Agricultu-1 ral Department; although so late in sowing it littered well, better far than any other variety known would have done, rusted badly by being so late, yielded 2 bu., with out rust would have made one-third more. Better success with oats than wheat; have made from 35 to 40 bu. of oats sowed in cotton when "laying by", upon lanld that would not make ordinarily 5 b'u. of cot-n. Consider oats thle most important crop to our farmers hcre, and hope all of uis will realize at once the necessity f'or large seed ings this Fall. Br-o. Setzler-From i but. of Bowden Wheat and 25 to 30 bu. of cotton seed] plowed in with common twisters on corn] lanld, realized 17 bu. per acre 2 years ago. Saw no difference last year in wheat that, was plowed in from that harrowed in-pre ferred to htar-row, hplt sometimes on account of corn stalks, &c., c'ould not do it success fully, stalks, &c., clogging har-row. Havet made generally 30 to 40 bu. of oats with cottoin seed, and can always make one-half that mIuchI on ordinary land and without extra care or manure. Bro. B. H. Maybin-Has very limited ex perience with wheat ; efforts to raise it have j been spasmodic and nearly always resulted in IXilures ; have several times sown peas in1 order to turn under for wheat, but the Iuxeriant vinles were so temnpting to cure as rough food lie had invariably cut them 'off I the blnd.

Little RosA BARRETT, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. L Wyse, is no more. She died suddenly, Sept. 7th, from Congestion. Her age was 9 vears. T)ow sad the summons, how warning the voice, and especially so to us of whom she was one. At our examina tion, which you attended, she was pres ent, and none worked more vigorously to en tertain .:nd welcome ovr friends than Ross. She was always prompt tu duty's call. Her daily Bible lesson was rarely, if ever, report ed unread, and her Scripture text was always memorized for Friday evening. She was practically amiable and generous. How ap propriate was her little speech. "One by one bright gifts from Heaven, Joys are sent us here below, Take them as they're freely given, Willing too to let them go." She sleeps very near our school house door, and as we visit her grave and strew it with "pale flowers" we will think of the "sweet face" beneath the clods, and the white robed spirit that has winged its way to glory.
