(!o Copy one year, - S 3 00 'Five " " "- 1250 Ten " " " - - 2500 swindlers and Their Tricks. As a general rule the farming -olams is not one of the great reading one of the comiiunity. Thoso who culti vate the soil are usually engaged for ,half the year from daylight to dark, in their everyday pursuits, and can sparo but a short time to keep tip with the news in the weekly paper, or to get the newest and best ideas from their iegular agricultural maguzine. They are much imore liable to be iim posed on by shiarpers than any class solely for want of time to road about the doings of these rogues. Again, they are usually a mor( -honest class than any other. Caleu. Inting to live by industry, and thei very avocation tending to compel -themn to be industrious, they hiav little chance to know anything aboul -the ways of thoso w1o live by wits -for in the roguo's buiness, as well as in all others, it is practice whici -makes lerf'eet. '.l'hus tho farmer h a been the peculiar prey of the sharper -and there was no end of the trick, practiced on tho honest son of th< soil, by which he is relieved of hit cash and nothing in return. In the matter of swindling it ha, hit herto been hard to do anythin with t bei e fellows on account of a sup posed spirit of the law in their favor It has been assumed that the pur, chaser must be intelligent enough ti judge wholly for himself, if ho see tio article, whether or not it is th< thing lie is paying for. 1f, for iN. stanioc, a m11an hands you an apple tree and tells you it is a por, yot get the tree he wold you at any rate anl the law clears the fellow. Yol wero simply "sold," not swindled But some recent decisoins have pu IL new face on the matter, and quacl doctors, ramanilly tiree-peddlers, a'n other worthies are beginning to finc that their day is done. Tlhie Chicago Tribune, referring ti this improved appearance of things makes a good suggestion that a goot use of farmer's clubs would be to hun up and p;rosecuto theso fellows UJ.ually they operate in a whole com munit y, and all sua'er.

'resident. BENJAMIN GRATZ .1lHOWN. Reform-A 'Delusion. The universal cry now seems toioe for reform, both State and National, but it strikes us as a little strange that it is echoed loudest by those who have been guilty of the most bare faced frauds that were ever perpetra ted. In this State, who are the champions of reform ? Are they meien whose public career stands without blemish, and whose hands have remained untouched by corrupt schemes ? So far from this being the j case, such men as Corbin, Bowen, et - id omnegenus, recount with virtuous indignation the many crimes that r have been committed in the name of Republican government, and appeal for reforu. Judge Mackey tells us that. rgform can only come through Lho Republican party. Ilo might as well take the ground that the Devil and his archangels can work reform, as to say (lit the Republican party, as at pTresent constituted in this state, is the only agency that can bring about the reform so much needed in our State government. One position is as untenaible as the other. T1he Republican party, in this State, lives by public plunder, necessarily so, 3 from the elements composing it. its members are an incongruous mass of individuals, bound together by no tie save that of mutual gain and aggran dizemnent, and a mutual understand. ing to bledthpulctasruni its coffers e tempbtreasry cntwl expect a part~y to reformx tihe abuses Ithait are its own wvork, and cut elf tihe meians of its livelihood 1 Thol cry Inow raised is only a blind to secure a new lease of power and deceive the honest mlasses. We heard Radical speakers two years ago promise the colorcd pee p'le what they would do for them if they were returned to onic. They d welt in glowing language upon the beauties of Republican government, upon what the Republican party had already done, and whlat thley wouldl eon tinue to do, for the "poor, down-trod den,'' freedmen. They were to build fsihool-houses, exact low taxes, run the 1thieves out of the State, or put them in the l'enitentiary, and enact suchl laws as would make peae and prosperity shine all over the land. That was the reform promised at that time, and b~y the very men wh"lo are its advocates now. Hlave those promises been fulfilled ? On~ the con trary tihe EchIool-hlouses are now closed, the scant sustenaneo of the Iaboring classes exhausted by oppressive taxa tion, the State Treasury sacked, and not a dollar in it. Strife and discord, the enemies of peace, have been stir red up by our rulers to draw on' atten tion from their miedemeanors ; indig nities and outrages have been inflioted upon time people ; the credit of thle State has been ruined, and a debt sad dIed upon it that can never be paid. This is the reform promised in 1870. A way with such, say we. W.e will not be deceived. Tihe Republican party iln South Carolina is governed by elements whose whole natnre is antagonistic to an honest adnministra tion of government, and while they are in power. wn cann neer hope to they can-even better order in the South than is pbserved in the North. And for the rest, when, a lie is re- j ported) let it bo at once fully and au thoritatively proved to be a lie. That can and ought to be done." raling into Line, It is encouraging to note the roadi' ness with which certain Democratic ] journple, formerly violently opposcd 1 to the Cincinnati nomninees, have ( yielded to the decision of tie Balti- t more Convention, and announced their determination to support witli all their energies the nomination of t Greeley and Brown. The most prominent of tle D no eratie opposition were the New York World, Mobile Register, Pittsburg t Post, Philadelphia Age, Washington Patriot, and Chicago Times. Vith the exception of the latter, these valuable exponents of Domocratit. principles have proved their alle. i giance to their party, and, in viola tion of their convictions, will strain every nerve to secure the success of the Liberal movement. The Now York World was strongly suspected of having been bought over by the Ad. ninistration, and we shared some what in the suspicion, but its conduct since the action at Baltimore clearly refutes such a charge. We are at a loss to know what t course will be pursued by those Dem ocratic pr.pers unfriendly to Liberal ism. It is true they control but few votes, and have little or no influence at all, but if they refuzse to iupport< both Greeley and Grant, N;.o w ill they support I There is no such thing as neutrality in the presentl Vee test, and the man or public journal who refuses to favor the election of Greeley and Brown, virtually con tributes to the re-elect ion of G rant. Greeley Areepl ts a resent. Greeley lai accepted a present. It was a trophy from a chareb fai r of the Romanu Cathe lie Cathed ral of St. la ul Minnesota. Mr. Greeley wrote the followin! letter in new it i Iodgient: Nrw Yon, July 11. 1872.-i.an In :-I have just. received through Mr. C. A. Dana, 3our v-alued present, for which I return my hearty thaiks. The weight of ,ixt.y one years (t nay head has of late rendered a cane de sirable : and while I amf dotiit ul as to tle reception of paesciats which have a high pecuniary value, I gltdly receive yours, whereof the worth is measured and established nut by the riniber of dollars it may have cost, but by the fond, warm hearts which gladly co operated to tender it. Accept my profound acknowledgments, with my assurance that henceforth, as hereto. foro, Ishall labor to smooth the rug ged pathway of poverty, and render our country first, and the whole world ultimated, the home of political equality and religious liberty. Yours, lonAtCE GinF.... A Ncw Plant for thec Crecry Tratta. A new plan of dealing is being in-< troduced into the retail grocery tradeo I in E~ngland to induce cash payments for groceries and also to make new customers, and is said to be a decided success. It is styled the "bonus i system, for cash payments for gro ceries," anti consists in allowing a bonus of 2[ per centi., payable at the end of each bix months, on all pur chases made dui-ing that time. At the time of each cash purchase ai metal cheek is given showing the amount of (lie purchase. Thlese are1 preserved by the buyer, and when (lie tge of redemption arrives-twice a year-thne ebecks showv the amouint on which the holder is entitled to 24 per cent., and is paid in goods. The firm oriaginating this innovation nmatde their first semi.annual redhemptioni on the 14t~h of last month, and state it has provod a great success. Many of their customers who hitherto had been taking credit for period5 of one to thren months now willingly pay cash, andh their trade hnas becen greatly increased at the same time. TIhe suor ess of thnis frm lins induced many others to adopt (ho same plan. Unfortnnate Self Drestraiton, On last Saturday morning, Mr. Benjamin Gilreath, aged about twen ty-four years, who resided near Pick. oeis Court House, and whose family relatives live in this Courty, wvhilh on a visit to them, being at thei house of his brother-, Mr. A.

Just so soon would we look to see the Ethiopian change his color, or the leopard -his spots. Warning to Southern Men, We give place to-day to an articlo from the New York Tribune, with the above heading. We commend its suggestions to the deliberate and dis. passicnate consideration of our whole people. "Now that the Presidential cam paign has begun in earnest, we shall boar from the Southern States fre quent rumors of disorders and Ku Klux outrages. Those rumors will not be so freruent as they would have been, had Congress adopted the Pres ident's scheme of buying up the tele. graph lines, and putting them under the management of the Post Office Do. partments but even in private hands the telegraph is not infallible ; opera. tors anid reporters are subject to lik paisions with other wen ; and the de sire for a startling item, which is coi stant in the reporter's bosom, will help the manufacturers of spurious news. "For months past th e common tes timony of all has declared the South as peaceful as Massachusette. The Ku Klux organization is known to have been absolutely abandoned. The South, we know, yearns for peace, and Southern men are doing all in their power to secure it. On all ac counts we welcome the purpose and the practice. But do they realize how important it is that they should be on their guard, and conduct them selves during the canvass with un. common prudence I There - will not be wanting baso persons, ready and eager to in~flatmo the old wourds, to britig on collisions between whites and blucks, or between Republicans and Democrats, and they may be cer tain that from now till next Novein ber every affair (of fistiouff in any Southern Stato will be snagnified by the Grant pnpers into a now rebel lion, and every murder or wounding made to appear to the Northern pub. lie as another Ku Klux outrage. "If a negro laborer is discharged some one will be found to represent this as a proscription for principle's sake ; and we do not doubt that be fore thr-e weeks are over the Grant press will teem daily with re ports of murderous Ku Klux assassi nations, and a desperate attempt will be made to alarm the Northern vo ters, by pictures of disorder and law lessness in the South. Tho truth is, a good, square, atrocious piece of law lessness and violence in the South would just now be a God-send to the Grant party. If they could prove within the next two tonths, that half a dozen negroes had been burned at the stake in Alabama; and that a nutmber of white women and ohildren lhad attended ini the increnmation, and waved Confedlerate flaigi over the flames, Granm's fuglemen would at once "'Thank God, and take courage." Tlicy are just no0w a little blue and disheartened, and stand badlly in need of someithing of this kind, for they have no argumsents to offer. "W trnst Southern Democrats will give no occasion for evil reports. It is their duty, as citizens of a free country, and as the more influential cit igens of their States, not merely to keep the peace themselves, but to see that it is kept. They have a right, freely to vote themselves, arnd it is their duty to see that their opponents freely exercise the same right. T1hey have a right peacefully to dhirenss the political qIuestionh at isasue in the campaign ; and we cannot but believe that they can present to their own pecople so forcible a case as to carry with themi the greater part of thec in dependent voters of their.- States. But their opponients have the same right of peaceable discussion ; and wherever rowdies or evil disposed per. sons may attempt to interfere with this right, Southern Democrats ought to be thme first and most con spicuious to interpose their protectinmg arin. '-There is but one thing, as we be.. lieve, anid as many of the Grant man agers believe, that can re-elect Grant ; and that is a new outbreak of violence in the Southierni States ; or, what would answer the same purpose, such plausible false reports of vio kee in the South 'as would thorough ly alarm the Northecrn mind. The Grant leaders and managers are everywvhere talking about "the R~e hellion.'' That is their principal stock-in-trade. They appeal to the "Union sentiment." They curry fa vor with the "Union Soldiers" as though these had not, seven years ago, become citizons ; the~y are doing their worst to preach up a now crusade against the South. It belongs to .the Southern Democrats to defeat this atrocious and unpatriotic plot ; and the way to d,. it i. to .maina~s Toombs to Resent Brown's Card. The correspondent of the Savannah idvertisor, writing from Atlanta, un er dato of July 7, says : I understand that a despatch was eccived from Gen. Toomubs yesterday onouneing that he was just recover ng from an attack of illness, and hat he would be in Atlanta in a fcw ays to settle accounts with Joe hrown. Meantime Joe is said to ave his "back upl" in terrible carn st. An acquaintance of his told me his evening lit Joe means Ii-lit, and hiat if Bob wants a '"skrim m111age" lie Fill be promptly accomodated. In a uel Joe would have decided advan ago. Ie is as slender as a bean talk, while Toombs is inclined to I lie ropor tiois of P kitaT, though unlike anlstiff, there is plenty of 1k lit. inl him. 'onsidering the disparity ii siAe be ween the two, [ would suggest that lie proposition once made by a hu iorous dueli:t lie adopted : Let the ize of Joe be mbalked on Toomis, and gree that all the bullets whieb strike 'utside the ia k shrlul count for noth ng. Seriously, however, there does ppear to be somiethiit on the talpis in his matter. The New York Herald come-s to ur rescue in a manly and out spoken vay ini ani article cutitled : "Tie op iressionm of the Souith 1)y the l'uliti l11ls.''
