The State Granige on immigra tio::. We clip thc following from tie Greencille Ners of the 2-th uilt.: Dr. .hm.s )lefuto. L. N)I wber -ry, then read an essay upon - limigra tion." He alluded to what had been done in and for the country by the immigrauts who came here nany vears ago, and whose descendants we are. Ie deprm...ted the idea that the country now could not receive and aosiwilate immigration, when it had done so whe it was only a weak be ginning. He theu discussed the quas tion as to whether there was room i a this State f W irmigrants. le showed that ther were twenty-tw,. 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 Er. gland 14, in Germany 3. It would be seen that there was an abundanee of room for our population to be fully doubled without being crowded. The value ot land incroased with popula tion, and farmers would find that with a doubled population the value of their land would be quadrupled, whle a diversification of industries would b 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 immigrants seemed a small number, but it was an excellent beginning especially so when tha small propor tion of inhabitants of foreign birth as returned by the last census was con sidered. He then made a number of suggestions for attraction of immi. griants of a desirable elass, advocating appropriations such as would enable vigorous, useful work to be doue, such as the scattering of pamphlets giv ing full information about our State, its productions, facilities, soil, climate and general advantages and attrae k ions. He suggested that the State lands be surveyed, cut into forty acre tracts and sold to immigrants at no.n ial figures and free from taxation under certain limitations. le also suggested that owners of large bodies of land should offer to sell it in alter fiate tracts to immigrants at low rates. He also uged the need for encourag ing immigrants to remain by giving them an interest in the land and a prospect of owning something that would bind them to the soil, and make them feel at home. Alluding to the advantages of immigration he cited the State of New York with 31 per. cent of foreign born. Minnesota with 52, and the Republic generally with 15 per cent. while South Caro lina had only 80 of one per cent. If she had received her proper propor tion she would now have 140,000 anore white population, making her rnere important politically, and laying the ever rising ghost of the race issue. He then contrasted the difference in material prosperity between tbe States with and those without immigration. * He concluded by drawing a strong contrast between white and colored labor, demonstrating the superiority and practical economy of the former. Col. Lipscomb thought this subject was the big one before the people, and be 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 were the origin of the Agricultural Department. Immigration had been directed to the Northwest to a great extent by the prejudice excited among immigrants against the South, and by the powerful efforts of rail road corporations desiring their lands to be settled. That artificial stimulus had now partly ceased, and the South hda chance to get her sbara. What sort of immigration was wanted i 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 lina was for every man to take the same view of this question that the essayist had, and work to get from the Legislature appropiatioLis to send out drummers and documents at the North and across the water to attract immigrants. The railroads were anx ious to obtain immigrants for in borers. and wanted the people to help them by providing employment and homes for the imumigrant women and children, IIe thought the umatter of immigration far too big to be con fined to a sub-department of the Ag rieultural Departmient, with an avail able fund of $10,000. Col. IBoykin, Superintendent of Immigration, was called upcu, and spoke brie-fly. lie said South Caro ia could obtain valuable immnigra tion if the people would inform them selves as to what they would get. Four hundred and fifty immigrants had been settled mostly in fatmilies, the greater part of them being la borers who were hired out just as other laborers were, the employer ad vanocing the $10 necessary to pay for the transportation of full grown la borers to Columbia. and taking it from the wages. Those desiring such * laiborers shoald be p'repared to give them good shelter, and such food as they are used to until they become aceustomed to coro bread, as they soon do. The department had done little to bring iomigrants during the -.extreme hot weather, bu'. would be prepared to make good selections of groups of families .,from August to October. 11e suggested the forma tion of clubs in the saine neighbor hoods that would take five or ten fam ilies together, thus preventing them being lonesome and discontented. Col. 1D. Wyatt Aiken said the next essay was upon labor, and he thought discussion should be postponed until ihad been read. lHe did not like the introduction of illiterate immii gr-ants. He wished the Commissioner of Agrieuture would take steps to rho could.'t read and wr*: his nwn arouage.

Presbyterian. I found on the train the inevitable Irummer, a product and necessity of :noder enterprise. He is a character to study, his cheek is unused to blushes, he has no deadly dread of a lie, he has that glibness of tongue that can be acquired only by long and oaruest practice. Tbere is one thing lie can do. he may be very deficient in other traits and qualities, but he .au puff his wares and the particular dra that it is his predestinated mis sion to talk ur. He has learned long :go that one way of getting himself up is to pull others down, and this he -oes without scruple. I have been told that there are decent men among ihem; it may be so, but surely they are exceptional cases. That business must, indeed, be in a bad way which basn't some decent men in it. I know from personal observation of drummers, if there are foul-mouthed, profane, shamelessly indecent people, these are they. I take it that to be a drummer is not an easy way to get to heaveu. Do you think that valise contains only samples and wearing apparel ? My dear sir, you are greatly ;iistaken ; there, in one corner, is eosconced the whiskey flask, and in another place the pack of cards, :arked perhaps. Can any one tell why these fuur things generally go together, profanity, card - playing, whiskey-drinking, and general worth lessne-s of -moral character ? They -re closely allied ; whenever one is seen, the other three are not far off. And there is no one occupation in which all four are so generally found as in the modern drummer. Tue drummer is an example of this fact, that men go to waste and ruin, morally. when they are shut out from home-influences. Home, : especially a Christian home, is almost a Para dise Regained. Its power to restrain from evil and cultivate and stimulate the - good cannat be overrated. It is one of the most blessed conservative influences in this bad world. With out "Sweet Home," earth would need no fire, or bri ..tone, or visible fiends to make it a hell, not in metaphor but in reality. I reckon that the next time four drummers are seated around a square table ornamented with fifty-two pieces of pictured pasteboard and a bottle of whiskey, they will not give me a vote of thanks for what I have here said about them. .MR. CoNKLING's CAREER.-The exultation of the Administration Re 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 Boston Post says ; "In 1850, before he had reached his twenty first year, 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 year he was elected to the Thirty-sixth Congress by 3,000 majority, and two years later he was re-elected by an in creased majority. In the next Con gressional campaign he sustained a defeat, but was re-elected to the Thirty-ninth Congress by a majority of 1,200. Another re-election to the Fortieth Congress testi fied to,the con tiued confidence of his friends and neighbors in Oneida County, and on January 15, 1867, he wes chosen to represent the Empire State in the United States Senate. In 1873 he was unanimously renominated by his party and re-elected for another term in the Senate of the United States, and there he rem"aiped until his re ent resignation.'' Conkling to His Stalwart Fol lowers. When Mr. Conkling received the dispatch advising him of the election of Lapham at Albany, he immediately sent the following telegram: '-EW YORK, July 22.--To ion.

Meeting at Leesville--The Best Route to the Sea. n A meeting was held at Leesville r the 27th ult., in the interest of a proposed railroad from Prosperity I to Blackville. There were from three to four a hundred persons present, including V delegates from Aiken, Lexington. Newberry and other Counties. a Addresses were made by Prof. O'Brien, of Aiken, Messrs. Mitchell and Simons, of Lexington, and Rev. 0 b J. A. Sligh and Mr. J. H. Boozer, of Newberry. The people along the line of the contemplated railroad are taking more and more interest in the pro- h ject. a There will be other meetings held soon ; and everybody is expected 9 to talk railroad. The matter has not as yet taken t any definite shape; the idea seems to be to agitate : to "talk railroad" a from Prosperity to Blackville, hop ing that something may turn up c beyond these points of an encour aging nature. Our Smoky Town neighbors are awake; were at the ieeting the 27th in full force. Such a railroad t would be a great benefit to that 1 portion of our County. Propcrty r is waking up to the subject. What we need is more railroads, immigration, better farming-or E that which will pay better-facto ries, &c. t i regard to this piroposed road we have a few remarks to make, editorially. A new railroad termi nating at Blackville and at Pros perity cannot be built, or if built could not suirvive : the local freight ~ would certainly not suppor-t it, and as for- through freight it could not compete with the C. & Gi. .1. 11., and the S. C. Ri. Ri. The days of short railroad lines have passed ; and it is utter folly to talk of build ing a hundred mile independent railroad in these days. The men wvho are agitating this proposed e railroad have something more in contemplation than running be tween Prosperity and Blackville. Their idea is that this might form a link in the chain of the Balti more & Ohio, or Virginia Midland, in its efforts to reach deep water. And they are agitating wisely. Car whole County should take hold of the matter, and other Counties should do the same. It is almost e a straight line from Spartanbur-g to t Port Royal by way of Newberry, C L Leesville and Blackville, crossing the C. &. Q. road at Newberry or Prosperity, the S. C. road at Black ville, and the Charleston & Savan-e nahi road near Coosawhatchie ort Pocotaligo. Or, better still, start ing fr.o: Shelby, N. C., and running through Union, Newberry and the other places named, it would be the most dir-ect road in the State, pass ing through a country that cannot ~ be surpassed. If the Midland has any intention of extending its line thro4gh South Carolina to the sea no better route can be found thap that from Shelby to Port Royal. C So far as this County is concerned r we are satisfied she would aid lib- g erally such an enterprise, and no V doubt other sections on the route would do as much. If. however, the Virginia Midland V prefers Augusta to Port Rpyal, the best possible route is from Shelby, ~ via Union ville, Newberry and Edge- ~ field. The trouble with our people is, tLat they sit down apd curse their fate in being hemmed in on all sides b'ut make no attempt to remn edy the evil. Railroads don't build themselves. The South Carolina Rail Road was sold by order of Court July S 27th, at Charlestoa. The road waa bid off by the Purchasing Commit- Io tee of New York at the price of t 81,275,000. The first mortgage ti debt of the road is 83,-500,000 ; so I that the real price was 84.775,000. n The Purchasing Committee repre- a sent nearly all the second mortgage and non mortgage bonds and about' sixsevenths of the stoek. The bid- t der, Mr. WV. H. Brawley, paid the a $100,000 cash portion of the pur-s chae money. The Lien Law. It is very probable that the lien w will be a qu-s:ion for the next B ssion of the Legislature. For in rs it has been recognized as the fe ie great drawback to the farming in terests; but while it is so regard I almost universally, there are 1 any who consider it a necessary 7il. With a homestead law ex- OX npting every dollar's worth of U roperty of the small farmer, there ti left to him nothing for a basis of -edit except the privilege of pledg- r< ig his growing crops. Many far- m ters find themselves absolutely t< toneyless at the beginning of the si ar, and of this number a large roportion have no means of rais- p Ig money. They cannot get. it 8 om the Banks, because they can- ti ot find endorsers; they cannot h Lise money on mortgages, because d ey often have nothing to mortgage. s( it were not for the lien law, what ould they do? Could they plant ad cultivate a crop? This is a -ry difficult question. Another d aestion equally as difficult is, Can farmer pay the interest that he is c: >mpelled to pay when he gives a a en, and save anything? Is he any m etter off at the end of the year ian at the beginning ? If not he L i in a very deplorable condition. ti after working hard year after h ear he has nothing to show for it e e is liable to become discouraged nd to give up in despair. We do 0 ot believe that in an ordinarily r ood year a farmer can pay from I 0 to 30 per cent.-as they are said tc ) do on liens-and make anything t all. And when a bad year comes le e gets swamped completely. What b !en can be done to relieve this b lass of the farmers? Should the A en law be repealed it cuts off their nly means of getting credit. hould it continue in force it com- 0 els them to pay a rate of interest i hat will eventually bankrupt the P tst one of them. They cannot pay uch interest year after year and " 2ake a living; it is an utter im ossibility. It looks like ruination 13 ither way you look at it. It seems 1] o us that this matter should be P aken hold of by the Legislature, c nd something should be done. t: The plan that looks most plausible s 3 this: that the Legislature pass I law repealing the lien law, but I ot to take effect at once. If the v ext Legislature will do this, al- g wing to the first of January, 1883, or the act to take effect, we believe would be a wise measure. It rould give the people time to pre- e 'are for it and to make their ar- c rrangements accordingly.t At the meeting of the State trange and State Agricultural So- I iety in Greenville last week, Col. a .P. Butler, State Commissioner p f Agriculture, read a paper on the t. ubject of the Lien Law. He la ointed out the ruinous effects of c be law upon farmers, and advoca- ij ed its repeal at the next session of I be Legislature. After considera- b~ le discussion the following resoln- u ion was adopted : "Resolved, That it is the delib-j rate judgment of this body that in ti he interests of the agriculturists t] f our State the Lien Law ought to 3 e speedily, finally and forever b bolished."d A committee of five were appoint- d dI to prepare a memorial for the 11 iegislature askin:; for a repeal of 4 de law. MIeeting of state Grange. ii The joint Summer Meeting of t he State Agricultural and Mechan- a :al Society and the State Grange iet in Greenville the 26th ultimo. [on. B. F. Crayton, of Anderson, a resident of the State Agricultural a ociety, and Hon. James N. Lips- e omb, Master of the State Grange,e resided. Over two hundred dele ates were present. An address of b relcome was delivered by M. L. >onaldson, President of the Green- e ille Agricultural Society, whichc as responded to by Hon. Jamesn E. Lipsozib. Hon. B. F. Cntyton c* elivered the opening address. Es sys were read on the cultivation of C pland cotton, cultivation of upland ice, Immigration, the Labor ques on of the South, and various other P abjects. The meeting proved a v-ery satis- d tctory one in all respects. S It was resolved to hold the next P ummer Meeting at Anderson. Miller and Lapham, the two new ti enators from New York, are very" mall potat es ; and the better class p f New york Republicans are ra-a her ashamed of their representa- ti on in the UTnited States Senate. b t would take about a dozen such ~ ien to make one of Conkling's it bility. ,ir The Colupibia Register has eli 3red upon its seventh year, "ith v better backing and a mo'n as-g ared future than the paper . a ti rer enjoyed." it The President's Coud-tion Still continues favorable.

If all d )nvict labor could be utilized to d iis extent the penitentiary would >C:1 become self-supporting. Col.r ipscomb, Superintendent of the enitentiary, visited this camp last. eek, and found the convicts int ood condition. 'wenty Years of Prohibition. Hon. H. W. Williams, one of the c upreme Court Judges of the State si F Pennsylvonia, referring to the ti >unty of Potter, where prohibi- p. on now prevails, says: "For b wenty years there has not been a censed hotel or restaurant within la confines of the county. There a re enough of both at all suitable ti laces for the accommodation of a 2e public, but in none of them g ithere a public bar. The sale is. anducted, therefore, at great dis ~ avantage clandestinely, and is very a mitedi in amount. As to results, C can say that, while the county e as been steadily growing in pop. lation and business, pauperism ad crime have steadily decreased. 'or the past five years the county s :il has been fully one half the e me without any other inmate ian the keeper and his family. 'wice within the past ten years I q ave, at the regular terms of Court, ischarged the jury on the second e: ay of the term, without their hay, ai tg been called to consider a single n tse of any description. The effect this system is felt in many ways: axes are redueed, the business of T1 ie criminal Courts greatly dimin. h hed, industry and sobriety take 4 2e place of idleness and dissipa-k on, and intelligence and morality re advanced." The a.bove is a very strong argu ient in favor of prohibition. We a se it going the rounds of the press, ad have no reason to doubt its ~ >rrectness. Another examnple near Shome is Marlboro' County in a 2is State. No liquor licenses have een granted in this County for the ast twenty-five years, if we are >rrectly informed ; and Marlboro' ounty is pre-eminent for peaceful-k ess, prosperity and the absence of iume. p all for n. State Temperance X Convention. At a joint meeting of the Temn- fe erance organizations and of citi- j mns of Columnbia, the 25th, an Ad- jg ress was issued to the People of te outh Carolina calling for a Tem- N irance Convention in that city. y The Address winds up as follows : As the result of a careful review of jgi ~e present status of the question, . e believe and affirm First. That the sentiment of the i iple of South Carolina is overwhel- ~ ingly ini favor of the prohibition of bi le traffic in alcoholic hquors as a ~verage as a mneans of suppressing uperism, crime and the innumnera ,e evils which everywhere attend the t dulgence in strong drink, and of C aproving the moral, intellectual and til aterial condition of the people. al Second That if this be the pre- ba iLng sentiment, it is then the duty our fellow-citisens everywhere to Ial ye it expression in such form and mi rough suceh agencies as shall make ar effcive in securnng snch legisla n a, shAll provide a remedy for the ils whtieb, edanger our civili2ation o ihis source. Third. That as the invst practical eIhd of calling out :-n1d uivina . -.on to the publie sense ui this (Ist Wmleutous issue, we invite our low-citzen6 eveiywhere thmough. it the State to appoint frow anong cu:'Sves discreet and worthy imen assemble in a convention or con rence at Columbia, on the 27th day September next, to consider and ad se what action should be taken by e Leeislature at its next session to ore effectually suppress the traffic alcoholic liquors, and remedy the ,ils resulting therefrom. Fourth. We respectfully submit e following plan by which the selec un of delegates to the said conven on may be made: (1.) That the Grand Division of )us of Temperance of South Carolina requested to take such action at their )proaching nieeting as to ensure a LIl representation from the order iroughout the State, in a convention the friends of prohibitory legisla on, to be held in Columbia on the renty-seventh day of September Ixt. (2.) That a similar request is here. 7 made to the Grand Lodge of . 0. . T., or in the interval of the meet g of said Grand Lodge, then that e G. W. C.

That the Women's Christian emperance Union be requested to point at least two representatives r each Union to represent them in id Convention. (4.) That the clergy of the State requested to select from each of eir congregations two representa ves to said Convention, the certifi Lte of such clergymen to be re irded as a sufficient credential for Lid representatives.

Fon THz HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27, 1881. As it was here a few days after uly 2nd and 3d, it is now, and so it as been since Saturday last, the 23d. othing is talked of but the Presi. ant's condition. The relapse of four iys ago followed a period of over two eeks of confidence in the President's ~covery, and plunged people into a ate of profound anxiety, and though uis is in a measure changed by bulle ns of the last two daiys it has by no eans disappeared. So great was the rprise here when imminent danger -as announced on Saturday and the >nsuting physicians were hastily ummoned, that I doubt if people in iis city will become confident of the resident's final recovery again until e is seen on the streets. They have arned, too, within this week and pparently upon the best authority, 2at as long ago as the 12th of the onth the physicians believed the resident dying-that he could not ye twelve hours. This fact if it be fact, was ecncealed from the people. ne newspaper published a statement the kind, but the article which ~ems to have been based upon the iforrmation was generally deemed sen itional. These things, now first gen rally known here, will serve to per. etuate the uneasiness which is un uestionably general in this city. Senator (Conkling is still here and chibits the solicitude felt by all as to Tairs at the White House. He does ot, of course, "talk politics" and will at converse with newspaper men. he report that Vice- President Arthur ad been summoned again is contra icted, but there is no doubt he is ept closely informed by Secretary laine, the Attorney-General, and the ostmaster-Gener:d, of all that occurs, ud that he remains by official request here he can be called here at a mo eat's notice. Guiteau has failed of late to receive y attention from the local press. he only means of learning from him all was through the District Attor ey, and that official has been away r the past week. There has been established bere a id of lheadquarters for Virginia Read sters, the special object to be accom ished being the dissemination among irgilia negroes of tbe opinions of orthern Republicans favorable to a sion of Republicans with Mahoop emocrats as the Vall election. I dge that about one Republican in a among those prominent in the orth, countenances such a fusion. et this Washingtorn office has set it If to work to delude ignorant Vir nia Republicans with a belief that e proposition is the other way. It to be hoped that at the regular eadjuster headquarteirs in the State ziaiess is transacted on a fairer basis aan this. The usual official action has been ken in memory of the late Justice lifford, of the Supreme Court. Jus ce Clifford was m4ch respected by 1 classes here, and most thoroughly Sthose who knew him best.
