[From tho Atlanta Constitution.] Was there) over such a politioal muss in Goorgia ? Gordon and Nor wood and Livingston and Peok all fussing, and ox-Governor Smith and Judgo Hines in tho bushes with their coats off. Gordon says Norwood is a demagogue and uses language on Livingston. Of courso thoy had to bring poor Tom Lyon into it ns a sido show. But Tom oap stand it. Norwood says ho does not like tho word domagoguo, and ho challenges Gordon for a talk. They all seem to bo frionds to tho farmer, and aro almost roady. to dio for him. This sudden and extraordinary love for tho poor farm or is very touching and pathetic, and I wish thero wore four or fivo Senators to elect. Such do votiod unnerves to bo rowarded. To a man up ip a tree tho whole thing looks peculiar, and somehow reminds us of the soldier who got scared early and wanted to go homo. So, while tho minnie balls woro singing ar 3 whistling all around him, he was found behind a troo with his arms outstretched, and was waving them up and down vigorously. "What aro you doing, Jake ?" said a com rade. "I want to go homo," said ho, "and I nm waving for a furlough." Ile wanted to get shot in the hand. Thoro is many an oflico-soeker, many a politioal soldier waving for a fur lough now. What is all this raoket about, any how ? Who ?tarted it ? Who told tho farmors that they wore oppressed and mistreated and imposed upon by alf t?~o "rest""of*^mni?klmdT General Gordon says he has boon sympathiz ing with thom for Bovonteon years, and Mr. Norwood has leon troubled all his life about them. Governor Smith is awful sorry for thom. Liv ingston has wept in great anguish for then. Well, it must bo a bad, sad case, but to save my life, I onn't cry a bit. I wish that I could. When I see folks weeping all around me, and I can't shed a tear, it makos rae sus peot my own heart. I'm afraid I'vo got calloused in my old ago. I farmed OB hard as I could for devon years, and novcr found out that I was oppressed. I worked: in the field with my boys. Wo planted and plowed and hoed and mowed grass and raised horses and cattlo, and sold our produce for a good price. Our corn .always brought fifty cents a bushol at tho orib and our hay $20 a ton, and tTobody over carno and told mo I was imposed upon, and I wasvsuch a fool I never found it out. Joe Bradloy has boon farming right close by for twenty years and hasn't found it out yot. Ho must be an awful xool. Joe used to bring his cotton to my gin boforo I got up and I asked him ono day,how ho managed to make so muoh cotton and corn and wheat and oats, and raise so many fat hogs, and send his daughter to town to sohool, and buy a piano, and all that. Joo smiled and said : "Well, you must know that if I don't seo tho sun riso iii tho morning I havo tho headache all day, and as my house is down in a hollow, I havo to go to tho corn field or cotton patch to BOO tho sun riso." I'll bet $10 that Joo don't bo long to tho Alliance. Ho hasn't got time. When a rainy day comes you will find him in his workshop making a plow stock, or mending his harness, or cleaning out his stables. He saves evory spadeful of barnyard manure and puts it on his land. I had ono tonant who worked hard and prospered. I had two othors who were always behind. Thoy had a power of business at the mill or at town, or nt somo meeting house, and when the creek was muddy they wore just obliged to go seining. Their props wero always in tho grass, and they are in tho grass yet I rockon. They belong to tho Alliance, and are waiting for ' something to turn up. This is plain talk, but it is true talk. The greatest enemy the farmor has g t is his own indolence. No man succeeds at anything who docs not work diligently. If a man would work as hard on hi? farm as lloub Sattorfiold does in his store, ho would prosper. Mr. Sntterfiold is a good merchant, Ho is at bis storo boforo < I got up. His dinner is sont to bim '] on busy days. After Bnppor he goos t baok to his storo and works on his 1 books. He is nover idle, and is i making monoy. It is tho samo way ] with all trades and professions. It 1 is very nico nnd pleasant to sot 1 about and talk and read tho nows, < but. the lav/ycra' ia thia town who i get most all tho businoss aro rarely < seon on tho strcots, and they enter- t tain no lonfors. Diligence, dili- ] genoe is the seorot of suoocss, and ] diligence ought to bo tho seoret i password of tho Alliance. 1 I wish I know oxaotly who it is that is oppressing the poor farmer. I think I > raid got a big stiok and go for him. I, wish I know tho dis tress that hangs Uko a millstone ovor ray frionds, Gus Bates and Tom 1 Lyon, and old man Burge, and C. ' M. Jones, and Connor, and Turalin, 1 and John Brown, and a host of other * big farmers in tho county. Thoy ' have all got rich enough to loavo I homo when they pienso and send ! thoir children off to colloge, but ! still they aro not happy. Thoy soom 1 to think we have been doing somo- 1 thing against thom, but I . declaro 1 upon my honor I haven't. Thoy ' say they want a warehouse and a J loan from tho government, so thoy cnn hold thoir cotton and force tho 1 manufacturen) to pay 15 cents a pound for it. Just so-tho groat ! West wants warehouses " for their 1 grain, so as to make us pay $2 a bushel for wheat and #1 for oom. 1 If this thing all happens, what is to i become of me ? I won't bnvo moro than a shirt and a half all tho year ! round, and my wifo will wear her 1 eyes out patching undergarments. 1 Carl and Jessio won't bavo but ono biscuit apiece and nothing 1 but 'tators to carry to school. What will become of- tho shoemaker and the blacksmith and thc carpenter and the brickmason and tho day laborer ? What will become of all the poor folks and tho negroes and tho cotton ^?citors V ' ^"ln?verbotoro " mo" tho tables of tho last census, and lind that thoro aro 4,260,000 farmers and planters in the United States, and there aro 18,000,000 laborers-toilers -working pooplo who aro not farm ers. There aro ovor 8,000,000 labor ers on tho farms who work for wages. W hat will thoy say to Hour at *5 a 100? There are ovor 1,000,000 mechanics and nearly as many rail road operators and half as many milliners and factory hands, women and ohildron. What is to bocome of thom if tho farmers get up a corner on tho necessaries of lifo ? Ono of England's greatest statesmen was Richard Cobdon, whoso poworful speeches abolished tho duty on grain and tho inscription on his monument is "Ho gave tho poor cheap broad." . 7 toll you, my farming friends, this thing will not do. You havo gone far boyond reason in your de mands. Demagogues have led you astray-I say it considerately-dema gogues have lcd you far away from the original purposes of your order. Don't you know that you will nover live to seo your cotton in a govern ment warehouse ? Don't you know that you will nover seo a dollar of that $64,000,000 that your loadors say is coming right away from Eng land to advance on your cotton ? Don't you know that all theso pro raisos arc a delusion and a snare and wijl fado into a mist after tho elec tions are over? I do confess to some grief and mortification ovor tho credulity of my farming friends. I feel but little interest in politics. My politics is for the South to go on prospering as shu has dono since tho war. The farmer, tho laboror, tho mechanic, tho merchant-every class has prospored. Diligonce in business, and a contented disposition will mako us all happy. There aro no pooplo upon earth that havo as much to bo thankful for ns wo have. I fed like I am alone in thoso views, for I know that tho press is against mo, and most of tho pooplo, bttt I feel bottor for having had my say whothor it pleases anybody or not. I see politicians dancing and pranc ing around tho Allianoo, and talking big about corn and cotton who don't know tho difference botweon a bull tongue and a twistor. Heard of one tho other day who said that thoro would bo a very short crop of cot ton, for ho had noticed that tho red blossoms woro all -.ailing off. Ho said that just ns soon ns a poor far mu. hud anything to sell thy price wont down. Cotton was down, and foddor had dropped from $2 a hun dred to $f j and sweet potatoes had al road y gono down to 00 couts n bushel, and in two months from now ?orn would' fall 25 or 50 percent. Wo must have a big warehouse, mid ho, and store tho prpfluoe and coop it until tho. speculators and tho. uonopoUsts aro whipped out. Maybe that man wants to bo a friend o tho farmor, but ho don't know mw. He knows nothmg of th's laws )f supply and. demand. Durin? the : ahern nolo-meetings I had to pay 25 Kinta for ehickons that hadn't done nicking. Boforo that they wore )lonty at 15 couta. The . fcrfothodist iroaohors did that, but thoy didn't noan to and I'm not complaining, ['ll do anything for a preacher. BILI, AKP. Tho Third Conference. Inasmuch aa thia paper has been dentiflcd to a great oxtent with Hitman's, canvass, when this issue vas boforo the Democraoy, wo must toknowledgo, that the opinion which yo might exproaa of to-day's oon icrenco would not, in tho very nature >f tilings, bo aa accurate an expres sen of tho opinion .of tho entire De nocraoy of tho State aa oan bo ob ained, for, of course, a paper which lupported' Tillman oannot possibly lo anything else but condemn lias bell's preaont position. Undor those circumstances, we oproduca from tho Sbartanburg Herald, that which to ua seems one rf tho fairest discussions of thia call hat we have found among those who vere opposed to Tillman's nomina ion by the Democratic party of thia Hate : "Wo oan never forget, that night n August when these men assembled it the call of Chancellor Johnson to ice what could be done to preserve heir rights of citizenship. Every >ent in the House of Representatives vas occupied; all spectators had >ocn excluded from tho galleries; he dcoks wore oleared for action. The discussions on both sides had ;onc far into tho night. Haskell's md Barn well's fiory words had fan n?TTYliaignauon into namos. "It was then that Kennedy and Smythe and Orr and Cothran threw themselves in tho breach and checked the headlong ' tide. It was nearly throe o'elook in tho morning. Tho Boats wore cmjity. Tho men had risen and crowded around tbo speak ers in a eirolo so 'dose that the gest ures almost touched them. Many of tho mon wore hot with wrath. Evory indignant word of defiance made the hall ring with cheers. Tho words of those who counselled submission to wrong for tho aako of South Caro lina fell in ominous silence. The mon who sympathised with thom were too seriously earnest for olamor. Thoy wero about to surrender as bravo mon w;.'i> surrendor a fortress for thc sake of tho women and chil ?ron within it. They did it without flinching. "That action waa decisive. It jpoko for tho straightout Democraoy, Find Haskell and his aiders knew that it waa so. It was beeauso it was so, that thoy fought so strenuously to iiarry this convention with thom. They aro still freo men. They oan repudiate both faotions of the Deiuo sratio party. Thoy claim that the Demooracy no longer holds their ?llogiar?ie, but let them do so fairly ind honestly. Lot them announce themselves ns Independents. Let thom not assume the name of the Straightout Democraoy which they jould not control and whose senti ment thoy do not voice. Let them not saddle upon us the consequences rf thoir folly." This is the light in which this matter now appears to those who in thc past sympathized with the mov >rs for notion and it ia on that ic co it nt that WO reproduce it at thia timo.

Jailor Gaillard is and old warden and up to all tho tr?oks Of priHonors, but for onco in bis Ufo ho was out witted and that; too, by ? ?-an not nnnsually bright. "tittle BM" Howard owes his freedom to a loyal and bravo wife and a suit of woman's clothes. \ -If has been the custom of Sheriff \ Gilreath, since Howard was inoarbo ratodjtto allow Mrs. Howard t? oe? N easlonally spend a night with; hor husband. Sho carno, Mi tho city Saturday and saw b usband and on Sunday, with 'h?^$.\ s-ra?nths* old baby, was admitV his coll. \\ Sho lives in tho upper sV of tho ; county, ? long distance \?; i tho ; city, and vory often loavoffs^L hus band's oell early in tho moriiTbg in order to roach ncr homo on tho samt 'dav. Yesterday morning ?t 6 o'clock Jailor Gaillard Was asked to op?n the prison colls and allow Mrs. .Howard to leave. Tho voice that made tho request wan Howard's. When the .great iron doora loading to thc jail corridor were unlocked and swung open the jailor saw what ho supposed to bo Mrs. Howard with her baby on her arm and several bundles. She had on a dress that was familiar to the jailor and a bon net covered her face. It WAS Still dark in the jail, but tho jailor Was careful to peer under tho bonnet to be certain that it was Mrs. Howard. A "trusty" prisoner who wait? on tho other prisoners was with the jailor at the time, and ho was confi dent that, tho porson Was Mrs. How ard. Two hours later, tho timo break fast ls'served to tho prisoners, ono ?f the prisoners went to Howard's coll and called him. Ho was surprisod to soo Mrs. I lo ward's head and faco appear from under tho cover, but no sign of Bill Howard. Tho matter ' ' i was reported to tho jailor and then li.; to tho Sheriff, and tho officers reali ^dthat^^ who left the cell in woman's clothes. From the jail Howard went to thc. house of a Mr. Pittman, oil Factory Hill, and left the baby there with his father, who spent the hight with Mr. Pittman, wno ?s a relative of the Howards. That was the last seen of Howard and he is probably now among friends in tho mountains. j Several persons living' on Falls Street, who know Mrs. Howard, Baw : Howard pass, but thought H was Mrs. j Howard. They wore surprised that I she did not speak, as was her custom, and were further surprised at the careless way in AV hieb BIIO was carry ing tho baby, that little bundle of , humanity being swung on "Little j??i's" right side, with his arr? hold ing it there, much as some people carry a sack of (lour. A J\reto8 reporter visited Mrs. Howard in the cell whioh her hus band had occupied. She was crying bitterly and tho kind-hearted prison ers, all of thom under sentence for revenue violations, tried to comfort hor. She said that she was 17 years of age and that hor husband waa 21. She is a good looking young woman, and although, only 17 yearn old a tully grown and developed woman. Throughout her husband's trial and confinement she showed a devoted alt ach m out to him and the sacrifico she made for her husband's ? freedom has made her admired by many porsons to whom sho is un known. Jailor Gaillard has several times said that he would bo on th? look out for such an occurrence. There is little di f fe ronco bot woo ii the sizes of Howard ond his wifo, and tho prisonor has no moustache or beard to give his face tho wrong look un der a bonnot. Every effort will bo mado to . capture Howard. . Tho others aro undecided what to do With Mrs. Howard. Sho hes tho sympathy of ovory one, and it will probably bo hard to.get a jury that will convict ' her if she should ho hold for trial. Mrs. Howard was released yesterday afternoon.-* Greenville News, Octo- ' (hi A m. ic ST ON, S.-C, October 6V A peculiar tragody ocenrred on the down Columbia train of the South Carolina Railroad duo hero 0.15 to - night.
