Curlositles of Life. Lay your finger ov your pulse, and know that every stroke some imnuoral passes to his Maker; some fellow being arosses the river of death ; and if we think of it, we may well wonder that it should be so long before our turn comes. Half of all who live die before sov. onteen. Ooly one person in ten thousand lives to be a hundied years old, and but one in a hundred reaches sixty. The married live longer than sin gle. If you take a thousand persons wh, have reached seventy years, they are of Clergymen, orators, and public speakers, 43, farmers, 40 ; workmen, 33 ; soldiers, 33 ; lawyers, 29 ; pro fe8sors, 27 ; doctors, 24. Theso statenments are very instruo. tive. Farmers and workmen do not arrive atgood old age as often as the clergymen and others who perform no manual labor i but this is owing to n1eglect of the laws of health, of at' tention to proper habits of life in eat: ing, drinking, sleeping, dress and the proper care of themselves when the work is done, WIN1WTB~OnOs Wednesday Morning, Jan. 17, 1872, End of tihe Ku Klux Trials. The grand "Inquisitorial" farce at Columbia, digniaed by the name of U. S. Circuit Court, which has been dealing out justico, so called, to the victims of Radical persecoution for some considerable time past, has, we are gratifiod to stato, at last adjourn ed. The trials have resulted preclsely as we predictod, and developed a spir it of bitternes, on thd part of the Government and its represeritatives, that went even be3 and our expecta tions. We expected no ftvors fioin Judge Bond, consequently were not disappointed at the course he saw flt to puraso. Nor did we lvok for the slightest exhibition of mercy from such 111en as Corbin and Chamberlain, the latter named, be it remembered, with the foul taint of fraud and cor ruption soiling his garments. Nor did we anticipate impartial and Aven handed Justico ft-om a packed jury, a jury composed of supporters of the "aRing," and sworn to convict in the face of every kind of evidence. Those men simply obeyed the orders of their politioal masters, and carried out the instruotiona of the diabolical Loyal Lecag .0. (Jno other charnater in "the dramas," we will briefl3 notice. The course of Judge Bryan has caused us njo little surprise, and whether or not he aeted from eon scient tous conxviotions, we do not pro pose to discuss. We will say this nruch, however, that in our hum ble opinion, his judgment is at fault concerning the Constitutional points involved, chiefly as to the extent of the authority delegated to the Presi dent by the Constitution. Nieither, we think, does he show a proper ap.. proec-ation of that great princi ple L'of civIl liberty, "Habeas Cor. pus." We regard this right as sa credly inviolable, and its suspension dangerous to Republican institutions, and subversive of the cause of free government. The closing not of the "Inquisi tion" was the arbitrary attempt to have the name of an honored Attor ney, Col. F". W. MoMaster, stricken from the roll, on the ground of his refusal to betray professional eonS denco betwoeen himself and his client, Dr.. Avery. We rejtice that .Judge Bend found one South Carolinian who would not kneel at hia foet, and wvho' stood out manfurlly in-defence of the saered privileges that others sought to vio. late. Agriculturai Reformn. In view of the approacing seasonl when our former friends will make their preliminary arrangements for the present year's crop, we beg leave to offer a few general Muggestions in rogasid to that noble profession, "the tilisge of roil." Of course we will coniafne. ourselves tro what haxs come under our ow'n observation. Jit is cortainly a mark of| wisdomi to profit by the teachings of ezperience-, a truism rnot properly appreclated and recognised. It, is also equallyv c-er tain that no vague theories or apecu lative ideas can serve us so well when engaged- in agrieultural pursuits as the plain and simple, yet impressive, lL-s.)na taught us by an olperienec gained, in the eases of mahy, at ax serious cost- This is no les. t...e o many other calllnks in life, bu pa tIouliy so'#' wthink, in the e 4 thos 04 t0, iho soil. To 009n i Main poi't, torced 49 bol.ieve that the system o farming, aOaW pi4ent practioed, oat never result in any permanent goo either to those fit-tiig tf; ty th< agrioultural,interosta of the couott at large.' Ad mitting this m'uch, i1 fUllows that tbero ,, in order to .oqr reot thd evils oiisiinA id ,it, jab urgeni need of refo n, whiph iqlemaauded ox every side, and by oVery.. ootasiddra tion affecting our welfare as a people Under the lstitutien of alavery, oui mode of cultivalit.g The soil Ws *on peculiar to ourIatves, and eccessiinted by the circumstances at that timi surroundinig us. Lu borers were abun dant, and cobt comparatively little being most generally self-sustalking Every inch of available ground was is cultivation, and still the cry was foi "wore land%" Our latge planteri frequently hired their surplus labor. era to their less opulent nieiglborsi Le cause of an inouflicieney of tillablI ground, denionitrating thereby that the supply (f labor was mot-e thai equal to the deuand, in t1.eir indi vidual oases. But an unc-xpected turn of eventt has changed all that. Slavery i1 abolished, and we have free labor in its stead, not only free labor, but a system of labor that is unreliable, and in the mtain uncontrollable. So great a eh-rge as this, workingj as it has done, disastrously in the majority of instances, required in the beginning a thorough reform in our mode of farming and planting. It a a matter of great regret th it this much needed reform has never yet ,iome. Six 3eors of sever e toiling and struggling fbi.d us plodding along in the old beton track, substantially standing wheru we were at the closo of the war. Let us east our eyes over the faoo of the country, aud what do we see I Large tracts (I la:.d either nnculti. vated, or cultivated in a way that is daily impoverishing the owner, and seriously injuring the soil. Our fairmors tutu learn soUethi'g from their experienceduring the past ive or tix years. They ought to per. ceive by this time that the policy they formerly pursued is a fale' one, and is proving fatal to their interests Instead of a wholesale cutting dow s of forests, let then contract theil area, and by adopting an improved system of cultivation, they will real ize more at less cost thin under the old style. The experience of those who hine tried this plan justifies thh statement, and besides the idea it practical, and coinmends itself to the intelligent f'artner. One more suggestion is this5 thai the quantity <; land heretuf.,re devo ted to "king Cotton"' be reduced one. haf, and that one-half set apart foi the cultivation of cereals. As ha been remarked, it is a reproach to us who are essentially an agricultura people, that our granaries arA estah lished hundreds of miks away fromr us. There is another subject of vital importance to our farmers. The: should use every effort to have ai equitable "fence law" passed by the~ General Assembly,- anid when this it done, turn their attention mere t< stock-raising, and cover their biacui tivated Iahds wvith hoegs, sheep, cows and domestic animals of every de scription. When the reform, tha't we hav< mentioned takes place, we look fur return of prosperity, butt not unti then. Generat Amnnesty.
