The Presidentikl campaign opens vigorously in
the Weshln the Kentucky election, we have the
most definite, announcement of its progress thus
fiur; That State has elected its Democratic nominee
for Governor, by a majority of SO.OOO-^a gain
of 30,000 since the last election. Oregon and
Montana have also .held State elections, the returns
of which have come in within the past week. In
each, the Democratic ticket has woit by increased
majorities.. From Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Missouri, the.most cheering Recounts come in concerning
the progress of the campaign. Enough
has been developed thus far of the sentiments of
the peopler to establish conclusively the success of
the Seymour apd Blair ticket, were the election to
occur to-day. Public opinion is a fickle' standfitd,
and a few, months may be enough to effect a sufficient
revolution to upset the chances of the Democratic
part}-. A few riots gotten up in the South
hy, contract?afew indiscreet and intemperate harangues
from Southern campaign orators, and a
few honest and earnest glorifications over the
_,<rLost Cause,'.' will afford ample material out of
which the Radicals can manufacture the success;.

ignoring past issues, and exposing tbe dangers of

to the object in view?the success of restoring
a constitutional form of government to tbe

DEATH OF THABDBUS STEVENS. '!
Tbaddeus Stevens; the "Great Commoner/' aa
his fiiendaand party delighted to call him..has ,
passed from the Btage forever. For the pasi three
years, no man in public life has enjoyed a wider J
notoriety, or wielded so much influence ih the af- ,
Ms of the country. "For several yedrs a member >
of the United States Congress, from the Lancaster (
Distrietof Pennsylvania, he became finally, mi :
1866, tbe acknowledged leader of his party there.
In extreme radical measures he was always in ad-"
vahee of his party, but lived to see his pet schemes
of reconstruction and negro suffrage finally imposed
upon the South, and his impeachment megs- .
ures set on foot in the Senate.
Of all the enemies of the South, he was the
most bitter add implacable. Unlike the Wilsons,
Sumners and others of his day, he made po concealment
of his opinions. or designs. He was, to
say the least, an open foe, and those to whom he
was opposed always knew where to find him.
Stevens was, in one sehse df the word, a great
man; but his greatness was Of the order of a destroying
angel rather than the Prince of Peace.
His office was to tear down the great principles
upon which our government was constructed, and
id substitute others foreign to the idea of its establishment.
His success in this office of demob
ishment, constituted his principal greatness. An
implacable foe to the liberties of the South
has passed away, and we are willing that the grave,
which exacts a final accounting from us all, should
,cover his faults and bar our animadversion. A
future age may find in his fife less to condemn and
more to praise than those of us who attempt a recapitulation
of his faults and virtues now.

FARMING SCIENCE.
We wojdd hardly speak extravagantly, were we
to assert* ftut a' practical farming ktiowfodgeiw
more needed by our people than knowledge of any
other kind. In all trades and professions, there
must first be some preparation and study, and considerable
care and study must afterwards be exercised
in order to keep pace with the calling. But
in fanning, this is all changed. What the old man
did years ago and how he did it, is what the boy
does now after the same plan. There is no effort
for improvement?no disposition to profit by the
experience of others, who have made the subject
a study. In fact, there is a general and widespread
aversion $o what is called '7x*>A- farming,"
and a general disinclination to read anything on the
subjeot, because getting ideas out of a book is, according
to the logic of this narrow-minded class, in
effect the same thing. We could hardly expect to
write an article that would reach this class of peo
pie. Old fools are generally tbe most incorrigible
of all fools, and so many able writers on the subject
of farming, have already tried this matter
with barren results, that yre feel very much as if
we were wasting ink and paper in the effort to put
ideas in the brains of such men.
What is book fanping? It is simply a substitute
for the old practice of a number of farmers
getting together and ,telling how they managed a
certain piece of boggjy iand, or what mode of cultivation'
they had fotiud best suited to particular
plants. ,J^Xn Agricultural Magazine now answers
the same purpose, and saves the time and trouble
of going to a more intelligent neighbor for the information
wanted. It furnishes, also, the most reliable
information.on subjects connected with farming,
from men ?of practical cxperienoe who have
made farming a study, and who have lived and
prospered by it. All Outlay'of,50 a year will
furnish sach a Magazine to any farmer in the
State. That amount represents only a bushel of
corn, and we may venture the assertion that if every
farmer in York would make an inveqtjnent of
one bushel of corn annually, in such a journal as
fi ? ' 1 ' I ' / / -fthe
Souther-jj Cultivator, feat fivjyi^henoelft
would require threebuahefe of corti to pay for me

oents per bushel, from the greater quantity pjb;
duced. ?.-?y
~ We believe that, &sa classTtbe fanners in~~fifie
South know loss of their brttbcM than enypeopty
we have ever met. Some of them are too ignorant
to find the way to market; but daddy having
gopc. there ^e|ie befoify they ren^mbdr thq exploit
and with fhe help of a little inquiry, somehow or
other, manage to getWra ^yTU^arfriSff
such men that forming is a science, just Us much
as.medicine, chemistry or law, the chances are that
they would tell yon: that' you -ware gnftokf Such
men had better bb cmteft theromxtry than in: it
To them we are indebted for the hare day-'hills,
the dSep gullies,' and the barren ridges, that everywhere
tell of the ruin they have wrought "
We would like, of all things now, to get up another
rebellion?a rebellion against thaignorsnoe
and incorrigible stupidity of this das* ofpersons,
who aspire tu the name of ftriner*. ' IT a tdcott
of this kind could be successful, and the ddfbgiea
could be routed ubaree, foot and dfagoons,'' -we
might expect something?hope something for our
State. The surest plan of inaogunitinf a war on
thyi fjaaa, is to place a good Agricd turad journal

THE WHISKET TAX LAW.
The new tax act passed by Congress, just before
adjournment, plaoes more stringent regulations
upon whiskey distillers than were imposed under
the old law. In fact, the present act would appear
as if adopted simply for the purpose of giving the
distibng business 'to the large capitalists, whose
cash might prove acceptable to the more needy
members, and whose large lnflnenoe over their
employers could be turned to a usefal purpose in
the way of making Radical votes. Certain it is,
that no man, with the present law in force, who
cannot command a cash capital of at least $30,000,
need attempt to distil whiskey. At tlie same time,
the person or the company of individuals who may
be able to raise such a sum, will find distilling a
most profitable business?first making fair weather
with the Ojmmisskmers of Internal Revenue and
the Chief Assessor, to whose discretion much of
the detail is left.
Any person desiring to distil whiskey, and who
can command the requisite cash, must apply to the
Chief Assessor, who will locate the^distillery.i Jffe
must then appiy for a Hoense andpay$400forit:
ne*t give a bond of $5000, conditioned that he
will not violate the law; then, if not the owner, in
fee, of the land where the distillery is erected, he
must give another bond equal to the value of the
wholo distillery and premises, to be forfeited in
case he makes mistakes. Before the still is erected,
the manufacturer must get permission to make
it?permission to ship it?permission to put it
up?giving name of persons, place, &c., where
erected. Then the distiller must paint and number
his tubs, pipes, doors, locks, keys, books, and
Avorvtliincr aW tthnnt his nrf>nrvi<jps - hnilrl Hen nr
three store houses, the keys of which are given to
a government official; keep a half dozen or more
books in which aro to be recorded all the transactions
of the distillery, and furnish some half dozen
drawings of the exterior and interior of his establishment.
Nor can he drive a nail or alter a watei
cock in it afterwards, without permission from the
Chief Assessor. He then pays the expenses ol
two government officers?a gauger and store keeper?who
carry the keys and keep his whiskey safe
until the tax is paid.
When he begins to make whiskey, he pays a tax
on all the corn bought and used; a tax of two dolhrs.a
day on the distillery for every twenty gallons
of whiskey made, and two dollars a day on the excess
over twenty gallons, up to forty, when the tax
is $4.00 per day; if sixty gallons are made, $6.00;
and so on for every twenty gallons or fraction
thereof. If the distillery stops work, the two dollars
tax must still be paid. He then pays for
stamps, paysa tax on his. apparatus, buys government
guages, meters, &c; pays fifty cents per gallon
on the whiskey?pays four dollars per barrel
on the whiskey,- a tax on the "sales, and a "half
dozen other taxes on the whiskey, making it amount
up altogether to one dollar per gallop.
And lastly, the official wffl have to keep regularly
employed; two lawyers to oonstroethe act and
tell him how to proceed;- and fee some halfdoten
Officials to my them not to report his and his
lawyers' mistalfis. ' Then, with a dozen or s6 of

about the same quantity as last year, and Texas
about 33 per cent more; but in the other cotton
States the fallihgoff is nearly ten per oent/ty area

8tate Republican Convention.
? The Charleston papers contain a caO fron
B. F. Whittem^rp, Chairman of the Central Egec
ecutiye Comoiittee of the Republican party, for i
Convention, to he beld in Colombia, on the' 8th o
September. The supposed object of the Conven
tion is to nominate candidates for Congress, ant
probably, Presidential FTectors. From a para
grapK'in die Courier, it appears tlmt aspirants fo
Congressional honors and profits are as plenty a
mosquitoes, jandrjusit about as ravenous. In thi
First-District, B.F. Whitteniore,' the present in
oumbent aspires to a re-election; while J. H. Rai
ney, (negro) is unwilling to play seoond-fiddle an;
longer. In the SleeondDistijct, Hon. C. C. Bow
eh is'in the ring, ami is willing to suffer for thi
good of the party and himself. The chances, how
ever, are against Kim; and knowing this, Reubei
Tomlinson, a white "carpet-bagger," who.is in th<
Legislature "from Charleston, and F. L. Cardoza
thejiegro Secretary of State, each desire to sue
cCed htm.. In the Third District, there are two as
pirants for the place of Simeon Corley, the Lexihg
ton tailor. .One is Solomon L. Hoge, the 'carpet
bagger' recently elected one of the Associate Justi
tices of the Supreme Court; the other is Franklii
J. Moses, jr., the Speaker of the so-called Hott?
of Representatives. We will. a^e. willing to wqge
a "big apple," that "Simeon" is not nominated
and that he goes fo the' 'board'' again. Iben ma;
he well exclaim: "Republics are ungrateful I"
In the Fourth?our District?James H. Goss
the present incumbent, is mthout a known com
petjior. W.e venture the assertion, however, tha
he will not he allowed to "walkover the track," a
there are several persons in the Congressional Dis
trict who are "truly lott," and have "office on tlx

"party of progress," they expect to be rewarded.

In the list is the name of ex-Governor J". I
Orr.
Governor R. K. Scott.
In a recent issue of the Enquiexr we put
lished a paragraph from a Philadelphia paper, k
timating that Governor Scott was the same indi
vidual who had left that city some years ago witi
funds belonging to other parties, and had failed t
rreturn. In one of the Charleston papers wefin
the following on the-subject from a correspondent
and. like the first paragraph, print it for what it i
worth:
"A paragraph has appeared in various papers a]
hiding to Governor Scott as having been a residen
of Philadelphia, and as having left that city ii
debt and disgrace. To correct this erroneous im
pression and do justice to Governor Scott, is is oo
jy necessary to say, what is literally true, that Rob
ert Kingston Soott, now Governor of South Care
lina, was never a resident of Philadelphia, am
never passed six hours in that city in his life. Th
person against whom the injurious statements a
bove referred to are made, is supposed to be on
Robert Kean Scott, and whatever may be true o
him, it is quite certain that Kobert Kingston Scott
formerly, of Ohio, and now of South Carolina; i
ready to pay 6t sight any lawful claims against him
and has means to do so fifty times over. Govern
or Scott is no penniless adventurer, but a tnai
whose honorable record as a soldier and civiliai
will be attested by his political enemies as well a
his friends.
Comptroller-General Neagle.
On the fourth page of this issue of the En
quireb, will be found several certificates with ref
erence to certain alleged peeadilloes of Dr. J. L
Neagle, a member of the so-called Legislature
from York County, and Comptroller-General o
South Carolina. The Phcenit of Friday last fur
nishes another chapter in the history of this wor
thy, which we reproduce for the edification of on
readers:
Charlotte, N. CL, August 10,1868.
Dear Sir : In replying to yonr favor of the 8tl
instant, making inquiries in reference to the char
acter of Dr. J. L Neagle, I will state such fact
as I know, of my own personal knowledge, in a
brief and conscisc a manner?es possible.
In 1854, J. L. Neagle. with several other youn/
men, (including myself,) hoarded with H. S. Pbarr
Esq., near Harrisburg Depot, Cabarrus County
North Carolina, and went to school to Mr. S
Lindsley. Neagle was a beneficiary of Co'nooit
Presbytery, and was being educated for a minister
The first three or four months, his deportmentwa
excellent; he prayed regularly every morning am
evening, and observed strictly every Sabbath. Ii
fact, his great object seemed to be to do the wii
of Him who said. "Thou shalt not steal."
After the time referred to. pocket-books, money
&c., began to disappear. Neagle professed to Io*
money. Oar landlord suspected- Neagle, but <
one of the boarders did. One morning after this
Mr. H. S. Pharr and wife started for Concord, a
bout the same time we started for schooL Neagli
said that he was sick and remained at home
\VTien we returned from school, we found tha
Neagle had robbed several of the boarders' trunk
and left for parts unknown. He did not take hi
trunk with nun, but left nothing of value in it
Some time after this, on returning from school, w<
were surprised to find that our landlord had Neagli
iii duress. Neagle had returned to get his trunk
and our landlord, fortunately,* being at home, war
ruaded. him to remain until we returned mm
school. During the evening, J. L. Neagle con
fessed, voluntarily, in the; presence of Messrs. H
8. Pharr, W. W. Alexander, J. S. Davidson
William Davidson and myself, that he committee
all the thefts charged against him, demurring ouli

it was not five dollars and eighty oents that he tool

hear a delegation of speakers from Colqmbia, in 1
I the person's of Messrs. Treadwell and JPIcklin& {
' and two of our old time colored friends, Pleasant* j
