pr" A Juror Challenged Becauso a Confederate.
The animus of this Corhin proeoeutoiu of Iiis
political opponents in the Kllentou riots, was
manifested yesterday in his challenging .Major
llutsou Leo as a juryman, on the ground that
he was in the Confederate army. We Intvo seen
different cjuris of the United States, sitting in
the South, and have noted tlio organization of
the juries, but we have not observed the challenge
of juryuicn on such a pretext before.?
There are some men with whom the war will
never be over?to whom peace would be a midfortune.
3U|c warfare of peace, co-called,carried

Spoils and honors are sought with less risk and
more comfort tosuoli warriors against u defeated
and down-trodden peoplo. The rooted sentiinont

It seems that while the war was going on, Juno
17, 1802, an act was passed in Washington (linking
it n cause of disqualification nnd challenge
in the courts of the United States for grand and
petit jurors to have adhered to the Confederate
cause, or have given aid and comfort, directly
or indirectly, to any engaged in it. And this
act, adopted during active hostilities, is now
trumped up to preclude men of the South from
Sorviug on juries in a United States Court twelve
-years after the cessation of the war, when everybody
has been accorded amnesty nnd disabilities
have otherwise beep all removed. As a matter
of curiosity as well as profound indignation, \vc
produce from the Revised Statutes the passage
on which Major Leo was yesterday deemed disqualified
to serve:
"Sec. 820. The following shall be causes of
disqualification and challenge of grand and petit
jurors in tlio courts of the United Slates : Without
duress or coercion to hnve taken up arms or
to have joined in any insurrection or rebellion,
giving it aid nnd comfort; to have given, directly
or indirectly, nuy assistance in money, arms,
-?clSthes, or anything whatever, to or for tho use
or benefit of any person whom the givor of such
assistance knew to have joined, or to be about
to join, nny insurrection or rchollion, or to liavo
resisted, or to be about to resist, with force of
arms, the execution of t ie laws of the United
States ; or to linvc counseled or advised any person
ta join any insurrection or rebellion, or to
resist with force of arms the lnws of the United
States."
"Sec. 821. At every term of any Court of
tho United States, the District Attorney, or ottier
person acting on behalf of the United States
in said Court, in their discretion, may require
the Clerk to tender to every person summoned
to serve as a petit juror, or venireman or talesman
in said Court, the following oath oratfirma^
tion, etc. : That you have not, without duress
*?hud constraint taken tip arms, etc."?Journal of

Why Farmimo Dukh Not Pay.?Tho reason
why so ninny men fail to make farming a success
is simply because they fail to make it a
business. They at once conclude that farming
doesn't pay, and then ge to work in such a way
as to utterly exclude the possibility of its ever
paying, '.s a rule, tho successful merchant follows
no other pursuit but that of his trade.?
The lawyer or physician who attains to eminence
in his profession devotes his time, energies and
talent to that profession. Not only docs this
theory hold true of all other branches of business,
hut it holifctrue of farming. The successful
farmer docs nothing for a livelihood but
farm. If lie has money to invest ha should invest
it to improve his farm. He should inform
llimanlf no A Kio Imainaaa >"'! -
intelligent manner. Upon such farms weeds do
not stand as high as a man's head; nor are fen-*
ces neglected, buildings dila] idalod, farming implements
left exposed to the weather, and stock
uuslieltercd and uncared for, but everything denotes
thrift and enterprise. It is really painful
at we go around the couutry and observe the
number of neglecte 1 farms. Pigs, geese and
cattle nro allowed almost unlimited range.?
Weeds render the door yard, the orchard and
meadows unsightly. The good wife, in addition
to her household cares, must milk the cows, feed
* the pigs, and do the chores generally. Hut
*'"wliero is the owner? Where and how does he
spend his time? lie is across the way, hanging
on his neighbor's fence, talking politics; or is
in the nearest store or blacksmith shop talking
gossip. Perhaps lie is inspired with a desire to
make sonic money and is out huckstering, or,
what is less laudable, soiling a patent right that
may bo useful or not, just as it happens; hut
while he is earning a few dollars away from
home, many dollars arc being lost at home, because
it is time to do spring planting, summer
harvesting, or fall sowing. Thus the years are
passed, and sympathizing ouos remark, "he is
n clever man, but somehow don't get nlong in
the world;" and all because he owns a farm,
has a business, and yet fails to attend to it.?
Cincinnati Orange Bulletin.
A IIomr Papkk.?An exchange says, we like
to see a man refuse to take his iocal paper, and
all the timo spongo on his neighbor the reading
of it. We like to bear a man complain when we
ask him to subscribe for his home paper, that he
takes more papers than he reads now, and then
go around and borrow his neighbor's or loaf
about him until he gets the news from It. We
like to see a inan run down his liotne paper as
not worth taking, and every now and then beg
the editor for a favor in the editorial line. We
like to see a merchant refhse to advertise in'a
home paper, nnd then try to get a share of trade
which papers bring to town. But, above all
things, we like to sec a rich, miserly man, who
cannot pny for his local paper.always manage to
ho around in time to read the paper, at the expense
of a friend not worth the tenth part of
Hihat lie himself is. It looks bo economical,
thrifty and progressive, you know.
?
Educational Facilitiks.?We aro glad to see
that our Legislature is moving to have a thoroughly
digested scheme forthe higher education
of the youth of the State. This is a subject of
great interest among the colored people, as well
as the white, and they are watching anxiously
to soc what we will do in fulfillment of tho
promises held out during the political campaign
of last summer. It is for us to show that we
do not intend to have tho funds for education
pocketed as perquisites by official thieves, and
mean to secure every practicable advantage to
those who can use the opportunities. Permanent
and well organised institutions are needed
and will we trust he instituted next winter.?

* The present strengthening of Gibraltar means
that England does not intend to be "caught napping,"
and that the government does not know
how soon this matchless citadel may be needed
as a base of active operations in the Meditcrra jiean
and the further east. Louis XIV threatened
to turn the tidelcss sea into "a French
lake;" Alexander, if he had the opportunity,
would gladly make it a Russian lake; but as long
jis England holds Gihralter?the key of the
Western door?tho Mediterranean is. to all intents
and purposes, an English l&ko. And Rugland
will keep that key while she has a man and
a musket to defend it.

found dead in the road near Crawfordsvillc, one

A citizen of Ashoville, N. (?., who made the

IWoodiiull axu Olaclin out of Funds.?Tl
Now York Timet states that Mrs. TeniaeC. Cln
lin 11us presented a claim against Commotio!
Vninlcrbilt's estate for an indefinite niiiouu
stilled at over $100,"00, or $70,000 anil cor
pound interest. A paper was served on Mr. V
II Vandcrltilt on Saturday before hisdepnrlui

states that in tlie full of 1871 she culled on Con
uiodoro Vauderbilt and gave liiin $10,000 i

Hirer stocks, anil that in 1873 the Couimodoi
informed her that the original sum and itsacci

tell you all I know it would be worse a gret
deal than the lloecher cave." "It would inak
a splendid seusational article for the newspi

reasons why Commodore Ynndcrbilt took sue
an interest in a paper that expressed the mo:

Mr. Vanderbilt, on being questioned in rcgar
to the suit on board the Britannia ou Saturdn

Tiik Tcmiilk in iiik Prick of Sewing M>
chines.?As has already been stated, tli
"Batchcldcr" patent, embracing all the essor
tial parts of the sewing machine, which ha
any merit, expired en the 8th inst. The Sinj
er Sewing Machine Company were the first t
take the lead in the reduction of the price, an
on day before yesterdny telegraphed Mr. Jam<
Miller, their agent in this city, to lower th
scale of prices. The Singer Machine which loi
merly sold for sixty-five dollars, can now b
bought for thirty-five dollars, and agents arc in
allowed to charge more when the payment i
,mado in cash. Wo suppose others will follow i

Widespread and Universal Depression.There
are many and continual complnints c
hard times throughout the whole South, but w
assure our pconle that this denlorable ili>nrp<
sion in every branch of our industries, is no

both widespread and universal. The constan
strikes of the miners of Pennsylvania, and th
cry of half-starved citisens of the West for th
bread with which to keep soul and body togctli
cr, shows that tlie people all over the Union, ar
in the most distressed and impoverished circum
stances. Even in the extreme West, the condi
tion of affairs scotns to bo no better.
The Result or Fraud.?Almost every pcrso
in Washington city interested in its jobbery an
adornment is flat on his back. It is not gcnei
ally believed that Shepherd will ho able toextri
cate his estate from its embarrassment, nltboug
he has nearly five years to do it. Large r.ua
bcrs of people own good lots in the* town, v
which they pay heavy taxes and get 110 returns

property self-supporting. Alt tho leading lit

The State Treasury.?Tho transfer of th

L. Loaphart will be in full possession. Th
transactions of the past ten years, if the "true in
wnrdncss'* could be reached, would afford man
interesting and startling chapters in the hit
tory of South Carolina. A cess-pool of cornip

we congratulate the Stntc upon the iustallntio
of an honest gentleman nnd upright citizen a
