A mooting of tho Connty Con vondon of tho Democratic party will bo hold in tho Court Houso, nt Walhalla, on tho third SATURDAY in April next. The object of tho meeting ie to oleet officers for tho ensuing year, apd counsol together ns to the host moana of re organizing and strongthoning the party. Tho various olubs throughout tho County will hold meetings on somo convenient day and oleet ono dclcgato to tho County Convention for ovory ton membors cn their rolls. A full .tttondanoo io desired. W. C. KEITH, County Chairman. Organizo. An ounce of prevention is sahl to bo worth o pound of euro. This is no loss truo in politics than in medicine, and if our pooplo proporly value tho advantages gained in 1870, tboy will not neglect to reform their clubs and present a bold front for tho coining campaign. We hopo tho Stato canvass this fall will bo without oppo sition, so that our pooplo may devoto all tholr timo and energy to tholr planting interests. Tho realisation of this hopo doponds very much on tho spirit of tho Domooraoy in tho organiza tion of tho olubs. If tho peoplo unite and show a spirit worthy of success, it will doubtless pro vont aa opposing ticket. On tho contrary, a lukewarm or indifferent spirit on tho part of the Democracy will invito opposition and induoo a hotly oontosted campaign. Let our people, then, hold fast to past success and oongrm it by organising and preparing for a thorough campaign. If opposition thon comos wo will bc proparcd to moot lt, whilo if it doos not oomo, Organization will bo tho proventivo and will havo effootod its purpose. Many of our County Clubs have met or called meetings, and wo kopo to seo every looal dub in tho county reprosontcd in tho County Convention on tho third Saturday in this month. The Death Penalty, Tho gallows will be more common in South Carolina io the future than it has boen forton years past. Tho lato act of tho Legislature punishing with death tho crimes of rqpo, arson and burglary, increases tho capital crimes from ono to four, and ranks among them ono very common crime Scarooly a court pasaos hore or at Piokons but thcro aro ono or moro con vio tiona for burglary, and tho other counties doubtless record a greater number of 'burglaries ovcry year than either Piokons or ?oonoo. If tho death penalty doos not doter inion from this orimo, hangings will bo fre quent in this Stato, for oxooutivo clemency will be rarely granted unless the jury re commend it? Arson and rapo aro groator ithoagh less frequent- crimes, but evon thoso .crimes have bcon of common occorrcnco in ?erne oounttos. Wo opposed tho enactment of this law, but it is now tho law, and orimin amis should romombcr that burglary is pun ished with death unless tho jury recommend the party to mercy and the other two crimea are punishable with death at all oven ts unless oxooutivo olomonoy bo interposed. If arson and burglary had boon graded and tho death ponalty affixed to tho highest grade, it would havo been moro in accord with tho civilization of thc ago and been equally effootual in pre? venting theso crimes. In fact wo proforrod to lot tho law romain as it was until thoroughly tried, for tho frequent pardons under the Radical administration and the loose govern ment of tho penitentiary rondered tho old punishment no terror to offondors. Under thc now regime wo bolicvo tho penitentiary with littlo hopo of pardon would have operated to prevent these crimes. It should havo been tried a fow years before resorting to hanging. Bad cosos of rapo raroly await tho slow pro* 0088 of tho law, whatever tho logal punish* mont bo, for tho pooplo generally become a law unto themselves in suoh cases and oxoouto tho criminal without tho delay and forms of trial and sontencc. This may bo wrong, but it has always and wilt always bo tho case in sooioty, that tho ravisher of inno conco will fall undor a public condemnation which will bear no logal restraints. As gonoral .rulo it is not tho severity but tho certainty of punishment which proves tho best Bafegunvd against crime. Tho now law will,, doubtless, result in moro acquittals, and may titus provo loss offootual than tho old law. Timo only can solve this* Tho Legislature of Maryland lins passed an not to contest tho title of Mr. Il ayos to his seat ns Proidont. Tho wholo matter will proba bly bo up boforo Congress. (Jov. Hampton has mado a proposition to Prosidoht Hayes for a gonoral amnesty in Socih" karolina. Fcdoral prosecutions and Stato prosecutions for political purposes to cooee. No reply from tho President. Tho Chief Juetlco has nominntod Maj. J. II. Wliitnor, of Oroonvillo, as Rogistcr in Bankruptcy, in tho plnco of Mr, W. I. Claw son, Ilogislor, latoly deceased. Maj. Wliitnor is highly spoken of as a mun of sterling qualities, and his coiiQimution will bo most acceptable to all. 1 Tko Provision Crop. Farming io tbe past has boonregardod thc most independent of all tho occupations of lifo. Whothor thoro was war or poaoo, whether rooney was plentiful or soaroo, whothor there was gonordl prosperity or groat scarcity in tho land, the fariner was sore to derivo froth his oooupatioh ah income io kind to moot al) necessary Wants. With hi? wheat and corn, his eattle and hogs, he could toed and clothe Me family without entering A ttoro or incurring any oxponso for artiolds he could not produoo. This is not now the e&s?. On tho contrary tile farmers of this oountry aro fed and olothed from tho storohouso of tho morchont. Thoy poy vory little attention to tho raising of horses, oattlo, shoop or. hogs. Corn is a subsidiary crop and only plantod whero ootton will not grow. Whoat, oats and ryo havo boon to a largo extent discarded, and our flour, bacon, corn and clothing aro bought from merchants who ship it hundreds of milos to sell to a pooplo who should them soires be sollors of these articles. Our farm* ors of to day bow to cotton, and put all thoir labor and money into its production. Do thoy profit by this or aro thoy not growing pooror every year? The richest sections of tho Unitod Statos aro tho grain and stock growing regions, and yet ito partSf thoao rtrc bottor adapted to successful farming in this respect than uppor Carolina. Why do not our pooplo thon follow and profit by theil' exam plo? It is manifest from ton yeats expe rience that ootton growing is not tho road to wealth with us. Wo havo tried it ot bottor prices and wo havo grown pooror. Tho pros-. poet this yonr is for a largor qrop of ootton and a lower price in tho fall. Tho oountry is full of ootton goods nnd tho pricos aro lower than ever before. Tho opening of hostilities in Europo will effect a suro doolino in cotton and a riso in oil kinds of provisions, and thoro is now a strong likelihood of a long and bloody war. Whothor it comos or not, and wo hopo poaco will bo maintained, tho prico of cotton must remain ruinously low, while provisions, which aro lower than known in many years, aro likely to riso in prleo In cither ovont our pcoplo must 800 tho folly of ovor cropping in cotton to tho stinting of tho grain crop. Tho only safe courso is to grow your own moat, corn and whoat and thon mnko what cotton you can. Thia, too, is tho only courso whioh will givo tho farmer that indopondoncc which his calling should, and judiciously managed, will secure Revenue matters? Tho Piokons Sentinel is reliably Informed that Redmond is willing to surrender to tho Stato authorities and accept tho terras imposed on hie followers by Judge Mackey, giving bond and security to kcop tho penco and obey tho laws in tho future Ho attributes the shooting of Barton and Hondrioks to their ill trout mont and robbery of him when a prisoner, denies that ho had anything to do with releasing tho prisoners from Piokons ?nil, and alleges that ho nOvor intonded to notate tho Stato laws. Tho' killing of Duok? worth in North Carolina, bo says Was in solf-r lefenco, and ho is willing to take his ohanoes n that Stato. By those who know Redmond, ie is spoken of as.a peaceable* quiet citi?on, hough ho is fearless and will not bo insulted, robbod and oppressed without offering resist? ince. His example is cortsinly a bad ono, md likoly to onoourago lawlessness, thong?, ho loubtlcss has boon badly treated. Tho con' luct of revenue officials in Piokons County is ?ow undergoing investigation, and much has >ecn already brought to light and put in trint, which will go far to palliato resistance in tho part of citizons. Redmond first ipponrs In our State in armed rosistnnco to bo laws after ho had boon tied and robbod of lis monoy and prlvnto property. All his awlcsagoss slnoo then has been directed igalnst rovenuo officials, and not a few ci ti sons rofuso to condemn him harshly by reason of his first maltreatment by thom. Wo aro no apologists for 'lawlessness, lt ihould not bo tolerated a day/ Every good litizon should uso all tho moral and physical ?csourccs in his power to put it down. It is i seed whoso only fruit is ruin, and if por* nittod to flourish awhile it will dostroy society ind government. While this is truo lawless ?es? cannot bo put down by lawless means. L'ho remedy will bo worso than tho discaso, br it comos undue tho garb and cover of aw, and yot is not law, producing ruin at tho arno time that it subverts all respect for law. Wo do not know that rovonuo officials havo .rossly oppressed our citizens or violated tho aw by transcending their authority, but wo lave beard this from good citizens both hero ind in Piokons. Whothor theso reports bo itcrally true or not, all n\ust fool that tho Jnitcd States has men holding those ofEcos who should not bo pormittod to AU them, and .hat thoro must bo some cause for so muoh :omplaint. Judgo Maokoy struck tho koynoto of law ind order in tho mountains, when in his speech ot Pickous ho advocated tho appoint? ment of and acceptance by tho host citizens of theso offices. Ile said truly that tho ofllco of United States rovenuo official was -a high ono, and when properly filled was an honor able position. If good citizons would fill theso offices tho law would bo rospcotod and obeyed in thoir persons, and peneo and ordor would prevail. His announcement from tho bench that theso officors woro amonoblo to Stato laws and Stato courts, whon thoy trans cended their authority, and that ho would so hold thom, will havo a wholosomo effect both on tho pooplo' and tho officers. In tito pnst tho pooplo havo boon mudo to fool that thoir only redress lay in thoir own1 hands, and lion co they havo boon ofton driven to resistance, wlion other wiso thoy would havo readily submitted. Tim pcoplo havo rights as well as theso officors, and wo trust they will in tho futuro look to tho courts for tho rodross thus promieod. When thoy de thin and tho courts have assorted their' authority by trying officials who have transcended theil authority all this lawlessness will conso. In tho rn can ti mo tho general go vcr union t should eeo to the fitness of its officials and appoint mon to offico who will moko thoir offio? sub servient to publio peuce and ordor rather thar to personal profit. Then tho laws will b( rcspootod'and ordorwill'provoll.

News and ' Coxirier: My attention has been dircot?d to a republic cation of certain statements conoorning the rovonuo foroo, willoh havo rO?ontly appeared in tho PiokonB Sentinel, in your issue of tho 80th ultimo. As long as tho matter rosfod with tho Sentinel I only considered it loss of timo to pay attention to it, but. whon it is laid boforo tho public in your widdy circulated journal it becomes my duty to bog spaco to vindioote tho mon I havo tbe honor to com mand. The Sentinel is OUb?r misinformed or it wilfully porverts tho truth. Mr. Lanford.s version of tho Neat affair, published iii tho O reen ville News, is to rh y personal knowledge the trdo one. Tho Sentinel's reply proves nothing except tho writer's malico, and It will certainly not tarnish the hard-earned reputation of Mr. Lanford, as a captain in tho Confederate army. The story oonoorning Mt. MoKinnoy is equally falso, and as this gontloman bas already declared tho state ments untrue tn tho proaenco of roliablo wit noeses I will only mention this foot. Tho forco of special deputy collectors (six) Under my ohargo was selected by Collector Drayton, and they wer? epeoially enjoined to perform their duties with ns muoh lonionoy as the interests of tho sorvioo would portait. Ibis order bas no vor boon violntod m nco I Joined tho lorco on Fobruary 1st. On tho Contrary, bv?ry consid?ration was shown prisondrfl, rind tho ontir? forde frequently Walked nlilos to illloW prisoners to ride. Wo lind a United Stattis commissioner with tho force, not to Intorforo with tho rogular commissioners in tho counties through which wo passed, but to onnblo persons to sbtoin a rolouso on tho ground if proper bond could bo given, and thus lessen thoir hardships. The.whole trouble consists in tho fact that thc Cou utica of Piokons and Ooonco hod not boon molostod by rovonuo officials for two pears, and whon I was ordorcd to oporato in diese Counties and did intorforo with what a majority of the mountaineers considered a ? ogitintato business, n howl was raided. Tho lotion of tho Sentinel did much to inoroaso i -ho dissatisfaction. It obstructed thc work , if royendo officials by publishing thoir , novemonts, and ?ts openly expressed support meouraged violations of rovonuo laws. During tho rocont troubles tho forco was i ic'c'es'svily increased. Among tho extra mon . *oro sovdral turbulent spirits, but thoso wore lroroptly dismissed. 1 was not at ovory . mint during raids, tho foroo being frequently - lubdividod, but from porsonal knowledgo and ] ?aroful inquiries I ani convinced that no \ llogrtl or inhmpan not had been perpetrated.
