The State Grane aon Iin t. We clip the followit: from the Greencille News of the Tth alt.: Dr. James Mcintosh. of Newberry, then read an essay upon -limigra tion." He alluded to what had been done in and for the country by the immigrants who came here many years ago, and whose descendants we are. He deprecated the idea that the country now could not receive and aosiwilate izumigration, when it had done so when it was only a weak be. ginning. He then discussed the ques tion as to whether there was room 0_ .. i n this State for Immigrants. He showed that there were twenty-two acres of land in this State for every man, woman and child, and 120 acres for every actual laborer. In New York there was 1 1.5 acres for every inhabitant, in Belgium 11, in En gland 1, in Germany 31. It would be seen that . here was an abundanee of room for our population to be fully doubled without being crowded. The Yalue of land increased with popula tion, and farmers would find that with a doubled population the value of their land would be quadrupled, while a diversification of industries would be enforced. He then reviewed the progress of the last few months in this direction, the scanty appropria tion by the Legislature having borne abundant fruit. Five hundred new inmigrants seemed a small number. but it was an excellent beginning especially so when the small propor tion of inhabitants of fo.eian birth as , returned by the last census was con sidered. He then made a number of suggestions foi- attraction of immi - grants of a desirable class, advocating appropriations ' such as would enable vigorous, useful work to be done, such as the scattering of pamphlets giv ' full information about our State, its productions, facilities, soil, climate and general advantages and attrac 'ens. He suggested that the State iids be surveyed, cut into forty acre traots and sold to immigrants at nom ' _nal figures and free from taxation '.: under certain limitations. He also -::.suggested that owners of large bodies of land should offer to sell it in alter-. nate tracts to immigrants at low rates. e also uged the need for encourag ,ug immigrants to remain by giving them an interest in the land and a respect of owning something that would' bind them to the soil, and '- make them feel at home. Alluding 4o the advantages of immigration he cited the State of New York with 31 per. eent oT foreign born, Minnesota with 52, and the Republic generally with '15 per cent. while South Caro hina had only 8-10 of one per cent. f she had received her proper propor tion.ashe would .now have 140,000 nrwhite population, making her iuere important politically, and laying the ever rising ghost of the race issue. He- then centrasted the difference in material prosperity between the States 6 l concluded by. drawing a strong 'Y' contrast between white and colored ~~ 1abor, demonstrating the superiority and practical economy of the former. Col. Lipseomib thought this subject was the big one before the people, and ~ e hoped it would be thoroughly dis cussed. He spoke of the curiosity and interrest shown at the far north in South Carolina especially, the peo-, pie saying that they could find out nothing about the State, even from her own citizens. Those enquiries t$"were the origin of the Agricultural Department. Immigration had been directed to the Northwest to a great setent by the prejudice excited among immigrants against the South, and' by she powerful efforts of rail~ road corporations desiring their lands 'to be settled. That artificial stimulus had now partly eeased, and the South kad a chance to get her shara. What eort of imgration was wanted?f Brains, muscle, and money-useful citizens of all classes. He himself preferred northern immigrants, al though he would cordially welcome foreigners. What was wanted in South Caro lna was for every man to take the same view of this question that the [ essayist had, and work to get from the Legislature appropiations to send ont drummers and documents at the - North and across the water to attract immigrants. The railroads were anx Sions to obtain immigrants for la borers. and wanted the people to help them by providing employment and homes for the immigrant women and ~2 children. He thought the matter of immigration far too big to be con ined to a sub-department of the Ag rieultuiral Department, ,vith an avail able fund of $10,000. Col. Boykin, Superintendent of Immigration, was called upon, and spoke briefly. He said South Caro lina could .obtain valuable immigra Ntion if the people would inform them selves as -to what they would get. Four hundred and fifty immigrants had been settled mostly in families, the greater part of them being la-* borers who were hired out just as other laborers were, the employer ad vancing the $10 necessary to pay for the transportation of full grown la borers to Columbia, and taking it from the wages. Those desiring such laborers should be prepared to give them good shelter, and such food as they are used to until they become accustomed to corn bread, as they -. soon do. The department had done little to bring immigrants during the e-xtreme hot weather, bue. would be * prepared to make good selections of groups of families ,from August to October. HIe suggested the forma tion of clubs in the same neighbor hoods that would take five or ten famn ilies together, thus preventing them ~ ~A rho couldnt read and wr. his own -anguage.

Presbyterian. I found on the train the inevitable irummer, a product and necessity of ii :nodern enterprise. He is a character to study, his cheek is unused to I A blushes, he has no deadly dread of a lie, he has that glibness of tongue that can be acquired only by long and oarnest practice. There is one thing he can do, he may be very deficient in other traits and qualities, but he t can puff his wares and the particular rm that it is his predestinated mis sion to talk up. He has learned long igo that one way of getting himself up is to pull others down, and this he h does without scruple. I have been a told that there are decent men among , them; it may be so, bat surely they are exceptional cases. That business must, indeed, be in a bad way which C hasn't some decent men in it. I a know from personal observation of j drummers, if there are foul-mouthed, o profane, shamelessly indecent people, these are they. I take it that to be a drummer is net an easy way to get to C heaven. Do you think that valise a contains only samples and wearing j( apparel ? My dear sir, you are greatly cuistaken ; there, in one corner, is ensconced the whiskey flask, and in s another place the pack of cards, t :uarked perhaps. Can any one tell why these four things generally go a together, profanity, card - playing, t whiskey-drinking, and general worth lessness of moral character ? They are closely allied ; whenever one is i seen, the other three are not far off. b And there is no one occupation in a which all four are so generally found as in the modern drummer. The drummer is an example of this a fact, that men go to waste and ruin, 2 morally, when they are shut out from home-influences. Honme, and especially a Christian home, is almost a Para dise Regained. Its power to restrain from evil and cultivate and stimulate the - good cannot be overrated. It is i one of the most blessed conservative t influences in this bad world. With out "Sweet Home," earth would need no fire, or brimstone, or visible fiends to make it a hell, not in metaphor ' but in reality. I reckon that the next time four i drummers are seated around a square table ornamented with fifty-two pieces of pictured pasteboard and a bottle of C whiskey, they will not give me a i vote of thanks for what I have here a said about them. MR. CONKLING' S CAREER.-The s exultation of the Administration Re- a publicans over the downfall of Roscoe Conkling has served to draw attention to his public career, which appears to have been crowded with honors. The i Boston Post says; "In 1850, before i he had reached his twenty first year, r Mr. Conkling was appointed dis trict attorney. He was elected mayor of Utica when he was only twenty ine years old, in 1858. In the same rj year he was elected to the Thirty-sixth a Congress by 3,000 majority, and two e years later he was re-elected by an in reased majority. In the next Con gressional campaign he sustained a defeat, but was re-elected to the ' Thirty-ninth Congress by a majority t of 1,200. Another re-election to the s Fortieth Congress testified to,the con- a tinued confidence of his fridnds and neighbors in Oneida County, and on. January 15, 1867, he was chosen to I represent the Empire State in the t United States Senate. In 1873 he I was unanimously renoininated by his party and re-eleoted for another termV in the Snate of the United States, ' and there he remained until his re- I cent resignation.''" Conkling to His Stalwart Fol lowers. 0 n When Mr. Conkling received the i, dispatch advising him of the election b of Lapham at Albany, he immediately sent the following telegram a "NEW YORK, July 22.- To .ion. t James Armstrong, Member of the n Assembly, Albany : T he heroic con sistency of the Spartan band which so long stood for principle and truth has my deepest gre' .tude,.and admiration.

A. meeting was held at Leesville e 27th ult., in the interest of a roposed railroad from Prosperity > Blackville. There were from three to four undred persons present, including elegates from Aiken, Lexington, ewberry and other Counties. Addresses were made by Prof. 'Brien, of Aiken, Messrs. Mitchell nd Simons, of Lexington, and Rev. A. Sligh and Mr. J. H. Boozer, f Newberry. The people along the line of the ontemplated railroad are taking iore and more interest in the pro :ct. There will be other meetings held oon ; and everybody is expected o talk railroad. The matter has not as yet taken ny definite shape ; the idea seems o be to agitate; to "talk railroad" rom Prosperity to Blackville, hop ag that something may turn up eyond these points of an encour ging nature. Our Smoky Town neighbors are wake ; were at the meeting the 7th in full force. Such a railroad ould be a great benefit to that ortion of . our County. Property s waking up to the subject. What we need is more railroads, mmigration, better farming-or hat which will pay better-facto ies, &c. In regard to this proposed road ze have a few remarks to make, ditorially. A new railroad termi ating at Blackville and at Pros erity cannot be built, or if built ould not survive ; the local freight 'ould certain~ly not support it, and s for through freight it could not omete with the C. & G. R. R., nd the S. C. R. R. The days of hort railroad lines have passed ; nd it is utter folly to talk of build ag a hundred mile independent aircad in these days. The men rho are agitating this proposed ailroad have scmething more in ontemplation than running be ween Prosperity and Blackville. heir idea is that this might form link in the chain of the .Balti iore & Ohio, or Virginia Midland, i its efforts to reach deep water. .nd they are agitating wisely. Cur hole County should take hold of lie matter, and other Counties ould do the same. It is almost straight line from Spartanburg to ort Royal by way of Newberry, seesville and Blackville, crossing s C. & Q-. road at Newberry or 'rosperity, the S. C. road at Black ille, and the Charleston & Savan ah road near Coosawhatchie or ocotaligo. Or, better still, start ig fr.opa Shelby, N. C., and running arough Union, Newberry and the ther places named, it would be the iost direct road in the State, pass. ig through a country that cannot e surpassed. If the Midland has ay intention of extending its line arough South Carolina to the sea o better route can be found thap iat from Shelby to Port Royal. o far as this County is concerned e are satisfied she would aid lib Lcally such an enterprise, and no oubt other sections on the route 'ould do~ as much. If, ho wever, the Virginia Midland refers Augusta to Port Rpyal, the est possible route is from Shelby, La Unionville, Newberry and Edge The trouble with our people is, 2at they sit down and curse their te in being hemmed in on all ides but make no attempt to rem lv the evil. Railroads don't build 2easeves. The South Carolina Rail Road 'as sold by order of Court July 7th, at Charlestou. The road was id off by the Purchasing Commit se of New York at the price of 1,275,000. The first mortgage ebt of the road is 83,.500,000 ; so aat the real price was ~4.775,0O0. The Lien Law. It is very probable that the lien law will he a quos;ion for the next session of the Legislature. For years it has been recognized as the one great drawback to the farming interests ; but while it is so regard ed almost universally, there are many who consider it a necessary evil. With a homestead law ex empting every dollar's worth of property of the small farmer, there is left to him nothing for a basis of c.cedit except the privilege of pledg ing his growing crops. Many far mers find themselves absolutely moneyless at the beginning of the year, and of this number a large proportion have no means of rais ing money. They cannot get it from the Banks, because they can not find endorsers; they cannot raise money on mortgages, because they often have nothing to mortgage. If it were not for the lien law, what would they do? Could they plant and cultivate a crop? This is a very difficult question. Another question equally as difficult is, Can a farmer pay the interest that he is compelled to pay when he gives a lien, and save anything ? Is he any better off at the end of the year than at the beginning ? If not he is in a very deplorable condition. If after working hard year after year he has nothing to show for it he is liable to become discouraged and to give up in despair. We do not believe that in an-ordinarily good year a farmer can pay from 20 to 30 per cent.-as they are said to do on iiens-and make anything at all. And when a bad year comes he gets swamped completely. What then can be done to relieve this class of the farmers? Should the lien law be repealed it cuts off their only means of getting credit. Should it continue in force it com pels them to pay a rate of interest that will eventually bankrupt the last one of them. They cannot pay such interest year after year and make a living ; it is an utter im possibility. It looks like ruination either way you look at it. It seems to us that this matter should be taken hold of by the Legislature, and something should be done. The plan that looks most plausible is this : that the Legislature pass a law repealing the lien law, but not to take effect at once. If the next Legislature will do this, al lowing to the first of January, 1883, for the act to take effect, we believe it would be a wise measure. It would give the people time to pre. pare for it and to make thei.r ar arrangements accordingly. At the meeting of the State Grange and State Agricultural So ciety in Greenville last week, Col. A. P. Butler, State Commissioner of Agriculture, read a paper on the subject of the Lien Law. He pointed out the ruinous effects of the law upoia farmers, and advoca ted its repeal at the next session of the Legislature. After considera ble discussion the following resolu tion was adopted: "Resolved, That it is the delib erate judgment of this body that in the interests of the agriculturists of our State the.Lien Law ought to be speedily, finally and forever abolished." A committee of five were appoint ed to prepare a memorial for the Legislature asking for a repeal of the law. Meeting or state Grange. The joint Summer Meeting of the State Agricultural and Mechan ical Society and the State Grange met in Greenville the 26th ultimio. Hon. B. F. Crayton, of Anderson, President of the State Agricultural Society, and Hon. James N. Lips comb, Master of the State Grange, presided. Over two hundred dele gates were present. An address of welcome was delivered by M. L. Donaldson, President of the Green ville Agricultural Society, which was responded to by Hon. James N. Lipsc omb. Hon. B. F. Crayton delivered the opening address. Es says were read on the cultivation of upland cotton, cultivation of upland rice, Immigration, the Labor ques tion of the South, and various other subjects, The meeting proved a very satis factory one in all respects. It was resolved to hold the next Summer Meeting at Anderson. Miller and Lapham, the two new Senators from New York, are very small potatoes ; and he better class of New York Republicans are ra ther ashamed of their representa tion in the United States Senate. It would take about a dozen such men to make one of Conklins The President's Coud?tion Still continues favorable. Dr. Bliss says that if he continues to improve as he has done for the past. few days he will be able to sit u, in two weeks. Editorial Gleanings. Hon. Nathan Clifford, of Maine, one of the Associate Justices of the United States Supreme Court, died I the 25th ultimo. Senator B. H. Hill, of Georia, recently had a cancer cut out of his mouth. The cancer was thought to have resulted from excessive smoking. A colored girl in New Orleans poisoned five children, aged 1, 3, 6, 8 and 10, the 26th ultimo, because they threw stones at her, and called her a "nigger." One of the children die1. She put rat poison in their soup. State News. Dr. F. W. Green, of Columbia, died the 26th ult., aged 81 years. The colored teachers' Institute closed in Columbia last Wednesday, after a successful session of one month. McDow, the murderer of Thos. L. Brayton, has not yet been cap tured. The Revenue Department has offered a reward of $300 for his capture. Gen. Eaton, U. S. Commissioner of Edueation, will be present a short while at the State Normal Institute in Greenville, which meets to-day, (Tuesday). Col. Jno. E. Bacon, of Columbia, leaves for London on professional business the 7th instant, having been retained as Attorney by the Anglo-Russian Far Company. The Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance met in Columbia last week. The Grand. Scribe re ported 30 Divisions organized throughout the State, with a total membership of 1,200. Messrs. Cahill & Wise are work ing 76 convicts in phosphate works in Colleton County, for which they pay $12.50 each per month. If all convict labor could be utilized to this extent the penitentiary would soon become self-supporting. Col. Lipscomb, Superintendent of the Penitentiary, visited this camp last week, and found the convicts in good condition. Twventy Years of Prohibition. Hon. H. W. Williams, one of the Supreme Court Judges of the State of Pennsylvonia, referring to the county of Potter, where prohibi tion now prevails, says: "For twenty years there has not been a licensed hotel or restaurant within the confines of the county. There are enough of both at all suitable places for the accommodation of the public, but in none of them is there a public bar. The sale is conducted, therefore, at great dis advantage clandestinely, and is very limited in amount. As to results, I can say that, while the county has been steadily growing in pop. ulation and business, pauperism and crime have steadily decreased. For the past five years the county jail has been fully one half the time without any other inmate than the keeper and his family. Twice within the past ten years I have, at the regular terms of Court, discharged the jury on the second day of the term, without their hav ing been called to consider a single case of any description. The effect of this system is felt in many ways : Taxes are reduced, the business of the criminal Courts greatly dimin ished, industry and sobriety tade the place of idleness and dissipa tion3, and intelligence and morality are advanced." The above is a very strong argu ment in favor of prohibition. We see it going the rounds of the press, and have no reason to doubt its correctneas. Another example near er home is Marlboro' County in this State. No liquor licenses have been granted in this County for the past twenty-five years, if we are correctly informed ; and Marlboro' County is pre-eminent for peaceful ness, prosperity and the absence of crime. Call for a State Ternperance Convention. At a joint meeting of the Tern perance organizations and of citi gens of Columbia, the 25th, an Ad dress we,s issued to the People of South Car-olina calling for a Tern perance Convention in that city. The Address winds up as follows : As the result of a careful review of the present status of the question, we believe and affirm First. That the sentimnent of the people of South Carolina is overwhel mingly ln fatvor of the prohibition of the traffie. in alcoholic lhquors as a beverage as a means of suppressing pauperism, crime and the innumera ble evils which everywhere attend the ;idlgnc in strong drink, and of ion au shall provide a remedy for the vils wh,ieb etdanger our civilization rttu. ibis source. Third. That as t h i st practical ,ot iw of calling our. :Ind giving .X .r. --;c% to tio pubbc st'e U this Ino.t W01oEUtous i.suC, ve invite our M.lltw-eitizens eveiywhere- tho'ugh :Mt the State to appoiut from amt:onl' t;Cmse:lves discreet and worthy tmeu to assemuble in a convention or con ferunce at Columbia, on the 27th day of Septewber next, to consider and ad vise what action should be taken by the Lnislature at its next session to wore effectually suppress the traffic in alcoholic liquors, and remedy the evils resulting therefrom. Fourth. We respectfully submit the fullowiug plan by which the sel,3c tion of delegates to the said conven tion may be wade: (1.) That the Grand Division of Sons of Temperance of South Carolina be requested to take such action at their approaching meeting as to ensure a full representation from the order throughout the State, in a convention of the friends of prohibitory legisla tion, to be held in Columbia on the twenty-seventh day of September next. (2.) That a similar request is here by wade to the Grand Lodge of I. 0. G. T., or in the interval of the meet ing of said Grand Lodge, then that the G. W. C. T. and executive com mittee of said order be requested to give effect to the request. (3.) That the Women's Christian Temperance Union be requested to appoint at least two representatives for each Union to represent them in said Convention. (4.) That the clergy of the State be requested to select frot each of their congregations two representa tives to said Convention, the certifi cate of such clergymen to be re garded as a sufficient credential for said representatives. (5.) That the citizens of each coun ty be urged to call conventions for the purpose of electing delegates to the State Convention, the basis of representation to be the same as that in the Legislature of the State. FOR THE HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27, 1881. As it was here a few days after July 2nd and 3d, it is now, and so it has been since Saturday last, the 23d. Nothing is talked of but the Presi dent's condition. The relapse of four days ago followed a period of over two weeks of confidence in the President's recovery, and plunged people into a state of profound anxiety, and though this is in a measure changed by bulle tins of the last two days it has by no means disappeared. So great was the surprisc here when imminent danger was announced on Saturday and the consulting physicians were hastily summoned, that ii doubt if people in this city will become confident of the President's final recovery again until he is seen on the streets. They have learned, too, within this week and apparently upon the best authority, that as long ago as the 12th of the month the physicians believed the President dying-that hc could not live twelve hours. This fact, if it be a fact, was cencealed from the people. One newspaper published a statement of the kind, but the article which seems to have been based upon the information was generally deemed sen sational. These things, now first gen erally known here, will serve to per petuate the uneasiness which is un questionably general in this city. Senator Conkling is still here and ehibits the solicitude felt by all as to affairs at the White House. He does not, of course, "talk politics" and will not converse with newspaper men. The report that Vice-President Arthur ad been summoned again is contra icted, but there is no doubt he is kept closely informed by Secretary Blame, the Attorney-General, and the Postmaster-General, of all that occurs, and that he remains by official request where he can be called here at a mo 3ent's notice. Guiteau has failed of late to receive ny attention from the local press. The only means of learning from him it all was through the District Attor ey, and that official has been away for the past week. There has been established here a kind of headquarters for Virginia Read justers, the special object to be accom lished being the dissemination among Virginia negroes of the opinions of orthern Republicans favorable to a usion of Republicans with Mahone Democrats ap the f'all election. I udge that about one lepublican in ;en among those prominent in the orth, countenances such a fusion. Eet this Washington office has set it self to work to delude ignorant Vir iia Republicans with a belief that .he proposition is the other way. It s to be hoped that at the regular leadjuster headquarters in the State >usiness is transacted on a fairer basis han rhis. The usual official action has been aken in memory of the late Justice iMiford, of the Supreme Court. JTus. POST OFFICE, NEWHt:3nY. S.
