A PAPE, FOR THE PEOPLE. ;?beBeraidaistantheblgbestrespectaram ily Ne. er, devotedto the material In tere:i people of this County and the It circulates axtensively, and as an medium offers unrivalled ad n 1orTerms, ne arst page. TENANTRY. Jefferson Davis, speaking of the New South, says: "What the Southmust have is a system. of tenantry to till its land. A healthy system of immigration would assure it a great future. Whether the colored people will ever reach the point of becoming reliable and valuable tenants is a question yet tobe determined. They are improving in a degree, but have not yet shown their ability to oc cupy the place of white tenants. The abolition of slavery has been a great thing for the white man, but I doubt very much if it has improv ed the condition of the negro. Cer tainly it has not so far." He touches the root of a serious evil that is felt by. every white far mer at the South, but he touches it in such as way as to indicate that is not able to point out an ade quate remedy. Thoughtful men throughout the South realize that we need a healthy system of tenantry; they know that the negro is, as a rule, neither reliable nor valuable as a -tenant; and they know, too, that freedom has not tended to im prove him as a laborer. The average negro is a failure as a tenant. He has big notions, but is not willing to do hard, systematic work. He likes the idea of being boss of his own farm and master of his own time. He cares nothing for improved methods of cultiva tion, and is not, willing to work un der his landlord's -guidance. He hankers after "store-bought" goods, and thinks that the privilege of buying his supplies directly from the merchant is the highest evi dence of his being an independent gentleman and farmer. He gives his children a distaste for steady work, and leaves them free to in fest schools and churches, and in habit prison houses. He likes to play into the hand of the merchant, r for ho thinks his own interests are adverse to those of the landowner. With a lien-ridden crop, the owner ship of which is contested between him and the grass, and a lien-fed rack of bones that- goes under the ne of horse, and in which certain bid fthe air have a vested inter est, he is happy. That is the aver age negro tenant. We are glad to do justfee to those few negroes who are good farmers and good citizens, and who are ac quiring property. They are not of the latter day species. They are men who received their habits of thought while under the guidance of a superior intelligence and a higher order of civilizaton-who were- disciplined to frugality and industry while under the rod. They have little reason, hiowever, to be proud of their offspring addicted to "larnin'" and general worth lessness. The question is perplexing, and immigration will not furnish a rem edy. As a social and economical question in this State, immigration is another failure. Some time ago a prominent German of the State, a bank president, said to us, sub stantially : "The people of this State cannot get immigrants of the better class. Take the German, for instance. He cannot come here anid compete with the negro as a farm laborer and retain his decency and self-respect. In the old coun try the German peasant has a com fortable house and good, wholesome food; he has his feather bed and his cow; and while he lives plainly, he lives decently and in comfort. Here, in order to compete with the negro, he is forced to live very much as the negro does, and to give up his ideas of comfort. He may stand it for a time, but if he is of the kind of immigrants we need, he will soon rebel, and leave the negro competition." There is good, sound sense in those words, and sensible men will see it. Immigra tion is not the remedy, unless we give the immigrant better advan tages. We feel that much would be gain ed by bringing the tenant under the direction of the landlord. This would be best for both parties. Left alone, the negro is a poor far mer, and will ne er make a good one. And we think that the land owner should control the man who tills the land, at least in the case of the negro. One of the serious ob jections to the lien - laW is that it often places the tenant beyond the control of the landowner, under the thumb of the merchant who has no direct interest in the land or its improvement. Those farmers who can, should furnish supplies to their own tenants, and, as far as possible, direct their labor. Of course this should be done with a just regard for the welfare of the tenant, who should .be. provided with comfor table quarters and decent surround ings. We are glad that the Obsercer agrees with us in the opinion that the homestead law should be amend ed so as to prevent a creditor from needlessly harassing his debtor. After commending the amendment suggested by us, the Observer says: "A more effective amendment, we think, would allow the creditor to proceed after homestead exemption is claimed" (and the debtor has Thade an affidavit that he is not worth more than the exemption), "but with the proviso that unless the debtor's property exceed the homestead exemption, the creditor will have the costs to pay." We supplement our neighbor's amend ment with the words in parenthesis; otherwise we think it would bear too heavily on the creditor. While it is true that business is done with reference to the homestead exemp tion, personal property is of such a nature and can be transferred so easily and privately, that the most prudent and sagacious business man cannot tell what belongs to the husband and what to the wife. On that account, before the costs of making a test. are fastened upon the creditor, he should have a sol emn assurance from the debtor that nothing could be gained by pro ceeding. The prospect of an im mediate appraisement would deter most of men from recklessly swear ing as to the value of their proper ty. A GROUNDLESS CHARGE.-We stated in our last issue that Rev. Dr.. Mullally, President of Adger College, together with his two sons, had been arrested in Walhalla and bound over to appear on a charge of riot, and now it affords us great pleasure to announce also that after a preliminary hearing on Sat urday last, the. case was dismissed, there being no evidence to sustain the charge. When an unsavory ac cusation is made against a promi nent man the general public are desirous of knowing the facts, and when such charge is shown to be groundless the public are equally gratified to know it.- In this in stance we learn that after the case had been dismissed, Dr. Mullally offered his band to the prosecutor, Mr. Mulky, and that he took it, saying that he had nothing against Mr. Mullally.-Andlerson Journal. The Greenville News grows en thusiastic when it touches the Green ville merit and enterprise. Hear it : "Greenville is the cheapest place to 'e in, the hardest place to die in, the li .est place to do business in, and the best place to buy real estate and build factories in in the United States. She has fresh mountain mir, magnificent fruit, beautiful lowers, abundant food supplies, kalf a score of factories, live men and, he might have added, dead unen), handisome women, a count iess multitude of children (all fat, mud chickens (some fat). What more 'can the heart of man desire?" Why, two or three good schools and m live newspaper, of course. The Department of Agriculture nakes an encouraging report on ;he number and condition of live stock in the State. It is based up >n 214 returns. Pickens, Aiken mud Newberry are the only counties ;hat show any increase in sheep, while all the others, except five, show a decrease. Newberry shows m decrease in milk cows, but an in ~rease in all other cattle, and an in ~rease of 7 per cent. in the number >f work stock. Last year only ~our counties showed an increase in he number of stock hogs, while ~his year sixteen counties show an nucrease over last year. Mr. E. F. Stokes, the eccentric Greenville lawyer, who was com nitted to jail by a trial justice for refusing to testify, was released on the 16th, after serving a term of bwenty-four hours. He has appeal ed from the decision of the trial justice, who attempted to force him to testify for the State when he was acting as attorney for the prisoner. A few nights ago, a negro boy and a horse fell a distance of forty feet, into a creek. The horse was killed. The bey fell head down wards on a rock, and was not in ared. A Lancaster paper is re sponsible for the statement. The Atlanta Constitudion says: "A Jersey cow lifting her head and sighing gently upon the clover Ao0ssoms, is a poem as well as a >icture." Quite poetic ! The New York Tribune says: Ex-Governor Daniel H. Chamber ain has returned to his home in ;his city, completely restored to mealth by his long absence abroad. Budd C. Matthews, of Edgefld Jounty, is 85 years old. HIe has >ae hundred and twenty-ffve child en and grandchildren. A SUCCESSFUL YEAR. The managers of the American Bible Society have just presented their sixty-seventh Annual Report. During no previous year of the history of the Society have so many pages of the sacred word been is sued; and only a single year-the last of the great civil war-ranks the one just closed in the number of volumes distributed. In the United States the Fourth General Supply has been auspicious ly inaugurated, and in foreign lands the Society has entered new fields, while in countries where the work had been previously established it has been prosecuted with remark able vigor and success. Three hundred and eleven col porteurs have laboured in this coun try, and two hundred and seventy six in foreign lands. The receipts for the year for general purposes were $597,641 91. Of this amount, $283,999 55 were received for books and on Purchase account; $184,179 20 from legacies; $60,376 33 in donations from aux iliary societies, churches, and in dividuals; $32,294 47 from rentals, and the balance from interest and other sources. Besides which, $53,000 have been added to the trust fund, the interest of which alone is applicable for general pur poses. The disbursements for manu facturing and for all other general purposes were $599,206 89. For the foreign work of the Society, to be expended during the coming year, the amount of $164,986 85 has been appropriated. The number of copies of the Scriptures issuedzduring the year is 1,676,232. The issues of the Society during sixty-seven years amount to forty two millions, eighty-three thousand, eight hundred and sixteen. (42,083, 816.) Charles T. Steck, a clergyman of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, has abandoned the pulpit for the stage. He made his first appear ance in the drama at Indiana, Pa., on Saturday night, playing as Ham let and Richelieu. "Those capable of judging," runs a dispatch, "pro nounced his manner and appear ance to be wonderfully impressive, while his enunciation was good and his gestures and stage action per fect." Mr. Steck has received a letter from the president of the Synod, asking an explanation of the matter. In 1881 Mark Spieker a travel ing salesman took passage on the Pennsylvania Railway, and present ed the conductor the return slip of an excursion ticket. The conduc tor refused to accept the ticket and ejected Spieker in the open coun try in the midst of a drenching rain. On the 16th inst, Spieker got a verdict for $5,000 damages. The companys'sa defense was that the ticket had been purchased two years before it was presented and that they had endeavored to call in all such tickets by extensive adver tising. ______ Col. Aiken is not in favor of at tempting to reform conviets-he is not willing for the State to make skilled mechanics of them. He prefers to keep them at the most degrading labor-to make them more brutal. He seems to forget that they must after a while be turned loose upon society. Differ ent men see the same subject in very different lights; what Col. Aiken regards as wise, seems to us extremely inhuman and absurd. The Washington Post says: "Melton is the man who assured Attornef-General Brewster that "the evidence was overwhelming" (in the South Carolina cases) in cases where there was no evidence at all. The Department of Justice has been disgraced and the inalien able rights of citizens have been outraged by this official. It is high time for a change-such a change as will .retire Melton and put a trustworthy man in the place which he has disgraced." The Obsercer wants to know the plural of "Mrs." In addition to that, we wish to know whether "Rev." has a plural; also, which is preferable, Mr. X. was married to Miss Z., or Miss Z. was married to Mr. X. The Governor has offered a reward of $30 for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who burnt the gin and cotton-house of Jas. -P. Coleman in Edgefield County, on the 17th of April. Pacolet has a "Poor Man" who gets "out of all patience when lie hears politicans and grand juries" crying out against the law exempt ing factories from taxation. On the 9th an act of the Legisla ture, declaring gambling a felony, went into effect in Memphis. All the gambling houses in the city closed their doors in the afternoon. Somebody estimates that it costs $30,000,000 annually to feed the dogs in this country, while the en tire tax on them amounts to only $16,000,000._____ Superintendent Lipscomb has in spected the convict camps in the low country, and he says that he found no evidence of cruelty to convicts. Little Joe Gosnell, a noted moon shiner, who has eluded the Revenue officers for years. was captured on the 18th after a desperate resistance. In New York there are $412,000, 000 on deposit in the savings banks. - Ex-Governor Jeter died in Union on the 20th, of tubercular disease of the intestines. By the direction of Governor Thompson, the State House offices were closed on Tues day, between the hours of 11 and 1, as a mark of respect to the memory of ex-Governor Jeter whose funeral services took place at that time. Dr. Darby took the Columbia Female College girls on an excur sion to Charleston. All the ex cursionists were so delighted that Dr. Darby thinks of giving the girls the pleasure of an annual ex cursion instead of a pic nic. On the 19th two prisoners made a desperate but unsuccessful effort to escape from the Chesterfield jail. They gouged the sheriff's eyes so severely that it is feared he will lose them. A gentleman of Union says that he will make one of forty to raise $150,000 for the purpose of building a cotton factory in the county of Union. Mayne Reid says, that a black coat is cooler than a white one, both being of the same weight, text ure and thickness. He made the experiment in the tropies. The Medium understands that the colored Presbyterian preacher at Abbeville is advising the women of his congregation not to hire them selves as nurses. Subscriptions have been begun for a cotton mill at Anderson, and the Intelligencer says that the min imum sum of $100,000 will soon be subscribed. The watchword of the Kentucky Democrats is, "A tariff for revenue only." They will find it hard to persuade the nation to fight it out on that line. The first indictment has been brought at Nashville, under the new law of Tennessee, making wife beating punishable by whipping. At the last session of court in Orangeburg, three prisoners were convicted of murder, and nine were sent to the Penitentiary. Governor Thompson has pardon ed Thomas Smith, white, recently convicted in Columbia, of violating the fish law. Any allusion to religion is so strictly forbidden in the schools of France that the name of the Deity does not appear in the new text books. A farmer in Spartanburg County owns a scrub cow that gave twenty eight gallons. and two quarts of milk in one week. Kentucky negroes are emigrating to Kansas. It is believed that the emigration westward will be heavy next fall. Governor McD)aniel, of Georgia, was inaugurated on the 10th. The oath was administered by Chief Justice Jackson. On the 17th instant the Demo crats of Kentucky nominated the Hon. J. Proctor Knott for Governor. The white Baptists of South Carolina have 58,782 communicants; the colored Baptists number 90,000. In the space of six months and seven days Georgia had four Gov ernors, the last being McDaniel. A New. York mnan sued an heiress for $100,000 for breach of promise. The fool lost, of course, The cornet is to be used in the Methodist Sunday school, at Greenwood. The health of Jefferson Davis is said to be improving fast. The Dublin Phonix Park murder trials closed last week.
