Washington, Jan. 23.—The out rages which have been perpetrated upon the people of South Carolina by the emissaries of “Brewster, Attor ney-General,” will shortly be inY’esti- gated by the Springer committee^ Mr. Ballin, special examiner under Mr. Brewster Cameron, who is cognizant of these outrages, will be put on the witness stand. His testimony in the South Carolina cases was postponed the other day owing to the fact that it might tend to flush the birds before the hand of justice was ready to be placed upon them, and because it was thought best to go to the grand jury. That having now adjourned will open the cases here. The Springer investi gation has already developed some very interesting facts. The South Carolina cases are looked forward to with a great deal of interest, owing to the importance thereof; but when the committee came to them it was deci ded that it would be better if the in vestigation could take place in South Carolina and be followed up by the immediate punishment of the offend ers. Enough, however, has been tes tified to before the committee to show the character of these cases. If any greater offences and more heinous crimes have been committed against the American people than have been developed by these special examin ers who have been investigating the accounts and doings of deputy United States marshals in the So'uth, I have never heard of them. There will be music in the air when Mr. Springer’s committee gets in full operation. They have in their possession the most overwhelming proofs of the op erations of the men who have stolen the livery of the United States Gov ernment to carry out their schcms of personal plunder and political malice. If half of what has been told before the Springer committee in regard to the operations of these plunderers in Georgia and Alabama is true, there is a heavy reckoning in store for them. Mr. Springer promises to make a very good record this session. He was very much hurt that he should be retired to such an apparently insignificant committee as that on expenditures in the department of justice. Having been once at the head pf the elections committee he thought it was an insult :;o his constituents thaj he should re ceive such an unimportant place. Wfxen._Sprtngei2~wa« cbairmjiwrT elections committee it was quite an important committee, as there were a great many contested election cases. Compared, however, with the work he has before him now in the com mittee on expenditures in the dapart- ment of justice, the present commit tee on elections is a very unimportant one. Springer has enough work cut out for him now to last throughout his whole term. He is now at work upon it with a good deal of enthusi asm, and there will be no half-way business with him in the matter. The department of justice needs a thor ough overhauling, and the Yvay Sprin ger has started it is pretty sure to get it. The whole department is rotten to the core, and thkt core is the attor ney-general himself The manage ment, or rather mismanagement, of the Star-route cases is the smallest of its delinquencies. The rottenness permeates the entire country and ex ists in every State of the Union where the officers of the department have been operating. The frauds in the territories are said to be more exten sive and the outrages more outrageous even than those which have been characteristic of Brewster’s manage ment in the Soutern States. Let us get at the truth by all means; let Mr. Springer fire away, it will have the effect to rid the public service of a good many abuses and a good many rascals. At present the odor which arises from the department of justice is so offensive to every liberty-loving citizen that I do not know bow we can get rid of it unless we cremate the whole lot. B. f. butler at the cai-ital. A good deal of speculation lias been indulged in about Washington as to tiie intentions of Benj. F. Butler. Butler has been here figuring about the Capital. His presence has been construed into an cir>rt to establish a Presidential boom The fact is Butler lias been here negotiating for the use of his big stone house by Congress. He wants to turn his Massachusetts mansion, which stands opposite the Capitol, into committee rooms for the use of the House of Representatives. It is probably known to every one that this apostle of the toiling mil lions, this self-constituted friend of liberty, owns the finest private man sion in the city reetlv within the shadow of Although it is the mas sive marble building, the Capitol, it shows to great advantage, and its pa latial proportions are by no means belittled. THE TARIFF BILL. Much curiosty is felt as to the causes for the non-appearance of the tariff bill. There is a good deal talk on the subject on the floor of the House, but it is rather of a rambling nature, and betrays no definite plans or purposes. The fact may* as well be acknowledged that the Democratic party* is at pres ent all at sea as regards the tariff. I do not believe a dozen members of the House have a very' clear idea as to what will be presented, and how, when presented, it will be got through. Ev erybody* seems to think we are to ha\*e a tariff bill, with the exception of a man like Judge Kelley*. The Judge does not want a tariff bill, and stands shoulder to shoulder with Randall in opposition to any further agitation of tie subject. It is CY'ident that wlia^ver^manates from the majority of t!|e ways and means committee have-to be fought through step by step and Itch by*inch from its inception to its piKsage. There is much hope ex pressed in the Senate and house that a ne*# allignment may* be made upon this ilsue of tariff reform vs. protec tion. Said a Democratic leader the other day, “In my opinion the time is coming (and it is not far distant) when Deni'icrats of that sort (Mr. Randall’s) will le forced to show their colors and eitheract Yvith their party or leave it. For iqy* part I would rather have them leave it. They* intend to ruin the par ty* or rule it. They* would rather see the Democratic party beaten than see tariff'reform triumph.” SPYING THE TREASURY*- Isow the other day a very* funny* thing in the treasury department. Dow*‘4n the basement of that buil ding is a very large room filled with lady>employees. It is devoted to the manipulation of ragged bills and de faced coin. It is a portion of the re demption bureau. The doorway's ope ning <in the corridor are all walled in with steal wire mesh work, permitting free circulation of air and preventing the p.esibility of robbery. Going in to the corrider I noticed quite a num ber of ladies and gentlemen on their knees in front'of these doors. At first I thought they were praying for some of the? defaced greenbacks, but found upon 'txamiuutinn they were kneeling on ha isoeks, so they could better look through the meshes, watch the nim ble fingers pf the counters and gloat o\*er tiie stacks of greenbacks and piles of coin. It Yvas a very funny sight. A watchman say*s the visiting public'are there on their knees every* day. Cock-Fighting. i f’rom The News and Courier.) Is cock-fighting any less degrading and brutalizing than bull-baiting, dog fighting or badger-drawing? It is a more ignoble sport than prize-fight ing. There is no danger to the spec tators ; the only blood shed is that of the gallant birds who are pitted aginst each other. There is nothing to re lieve the odious character of the past time. What is the source of the gratifica tion with which cock-fighting is wit nessed? It is an exhibition of the same spirit which had full play among the spectators of the butchery in thi- Roman amphitheatre. Prize fighting is not as excusable, inasmuch as tho pugilists know what they are aboqt Xnd can stop when they choose. Tbttre is a cock-pit, it seems, in Co- the proposed license is itbitory. Coek-fight- be prohibited entirely. No licknse should be given for a so- called sport which encourages gamb ling imd drinking, and inevitably loweb i the moral tone of those Yvho engage in it. Luim mg and We Luck Lucidity. [From The New York World. 1 Matthew Arnold doesn’t like Amer- can newspapers. He misses the mag nificent lucidity of the ponderous English editorial writer who can fill two columns with classical, poetical and nautical thought drawn out by the upsetting of a pan of grease in the galley’s of one of Her Majesty’s ships of war. Our brief editorial para graphs jar his nervous system. He said to a reporter recently: “The American newspaper page has a frag mentary* look to me.” Ours is an in complete, fragmentary country*, Mr. Arnold, but you are mistaken in the supposition that we write our editori als short to accommodate the people who do their reading in omnibuses, street cars and on ferry-boats. All Americans have dyspepsia in an acute form, and long newspaper articles of the English variety have a tendency to retard the flow of gastric juice. We therefore chop our editorial mat ter up fine and administer it in small doses. A Street Incident. [News and Courier.] A Northern tourist walking down Meeting street yesterday accosted an old colored man with an inquiry as to where he could find a nuseryman. “Nursy* man!” ejaculated the old dar key. “No, sah. You can get plenty* of nussry ’omans yere, but we aint hab no nussry* mans.” “No, no,” said the N. T. “I want to find a nurseryman, donty’ou under stand?” “Nosah! I don’t onderstan. Nig gers aint got down so low as dat yet. ’Oman go out for miss not man,” and the indignant cld darkey left tiie en lightened Northern tourist with a look of contempt which puzzled and ap palled him. Senator Butler’s Goat Story. [From the Providence, R. I., Star.) Senator Butler, of Soutli Carolina, speaking of the effects of the late cold wave which passed over tiie country, says: “Every*goat in Edgegeld Coun ty, S. C., had its horns frozen off.” Speaking on the same subject, tiie New York Evening Post say*s: “A muskrat came out of the river at Fichburg, Mass., the other day*, and seated himself in the sun, where he froze to the ice and was held a close prisoner till a boy* dispatched him with a club.” Yet, we are informed, plumbers are not fully contented. The trouble with most poets is, that they send their immature efforts to the papers, and become discouraged because nobody* cares for them but the junk dealer. The successful poet, on tiie countrary*, keeps all his lubbish until he has written something worth readirg; then all he has to do is to get out the rhyraings of his callow days and sell them at fabulous prices, Callioiin Sarcophagus. A Joint Resolution appropriating /unds for the construction and erec tion of a sarcophagus for the remains or John C. Calhoun. Whereas, upon the announcement in March, 1850, of the lamented death of the late Senator Johri^C. Cnlh4un, the State of South Carolnia claimed the privilege of taking into its custo dy his remains, and did cause them to be removed with the highest public honors to the City* of Charleston for burial; and whereas, for the want of time it was only* then possible to erect a temporary* structure in which Sena tor Calhoun’s remains could be depos ited ; and whereas, by* reason of tiie many public disabilities since occur ring which have prevented the inten ded action of the General Assembly* in the construction of an appropriate sarcophagus of enduring material, suitably inscribed, in which the re mains of South Carolina’s distinguish ed son may be forever preserved; and whereas, the time is now opportune for discharging the high public duty: Section 1. Be it resolved, &c., That the sum of $3,000 be, and the same is hereby*, appropriated for the design ing, constructing and erecting in St. Phillips churchyard in the City of Charleston of a sarcophagus for the remains of John C. Calhoun, Yvhich are there buried, according to plans and specifications to be submitted to and approved of by the Governor of this State. Sec. 2- That the Governor of the State is hereby authorized and direc ted to call for plans and specifications for the said sarcophagus and to con tract for the same. Provided, the cost will not exceed the sum of $,3000- Sec. 3. That tho comptroller-gener al be, and is hereby, authorized and required to draw his warrant upon the State treasurer, when so directed by the Governor of his State, in favor of such person or persons who shall contract to do said work for such sum or sums not exceeding the said sum of $3,000 in the whole as may* be due to said persons under the contract with the Governor as aforesaid • THE FARM AND FIRESIDE.

A special to the News and Courier says that the Senate spent two hours Tuesday in the consideration of the nomination of Emory Speer for Dis trict Attorney for the Nortnern Dis trict of Georgia. The Southern Sena tors, especially from South Carolina, were active in their opposition to the confirmation. Senator Edmunds made a scathing speech, in which he gave the Southerners a satirical scoring and pitched into the South generally. Upon a vote being taken the nomina- Ciuii who cuxiuiiiieu"by arfarge-xflajOrt- ity, the two Georgia Senators voting in the affirmative. We don’t know who to credit with the following, but it is a truth told in a back handed way: “We like to hear a man refuse to take his home paper, and all the time sponge on his neigh bor for it. We like to hear a man complain when asked to subscribe for it, that he takes more now than he can read, and then go around and bor row his neighbor’s, or hang arouud the printing office until he can read it. We like to see a n. in run down his home paper as not worth taking, and every now and then beg a favor of the editor in tiie editorial line. We like to see a mechanic or merchant re fuse to advertise in his home paper, and then try* to get a share of tiie trade the newspaper brings. We like to see this, it looks economical, thrifty, pro gressive and—cheeky.” Harrisburg is in Pennsydvania, though the reader of the following paragraph might consult his map to assure himself of this before believing that such a sentiment could come from that State. It is from the Harrisburg patriot: “What profits it tiie Ameri can workingman though for six months in the year he get higher wa ges than his European brother if du- the other six months he be in peril of starvation for want of employment? And how does ‘protection’ benefit him when the ‘pauper labor of Europe’ is imported by the shipload to compete with him.” The protectionists will have to turn their attention to Mr. Robert Rlakie. He is another of the numerous protec ted manufacturers who are coming out against the tariff. He owns three or four large woolen mills in New En gland. Being asked how an abolition of the duty on wool would effect his business, he answered: “I could make goods to sell in any* part of the world. I’d defy* the world to compete with me. Take tiie duty from wool, and I will guarantee that it wouldn’t be six weeks before wool would have advanc ed in England 50 per cent. Our own wool would also advance.” Congratulating the South Carolina Legislature for w isely repealing some of tiie more obnoxious features of the Railway Law, the Baltimore Manu facturers Record adds: “We are firm believers in the value of competition as a regulatoi of evils in trade and transportation matters, and hold that there should be no governmental in terference, except where absolutely necessary, and hence our opposition to the unwise railroad law* enacted of late by* some of tiie Southern States. Senator Frye says he is practically a poor man, all his earthly posessions amounting in value to les than $25,- 000. Mr. Frye speaks of his “earthly possessions” with the naive abandon of a man Yvho has calculations that he is pretty well fixed in the world to come. Our esl imate of most of these New* England patriots is that none of them would lay up treasures in heaven unless it were with a view to evade the income tax on earth.—Chicago yews. Advice to all Cotton Farmers. W. P. Tarpley, of Henry* County, Georgia, writes as follow’s to tiie Farming World of Cincinnati, Ohio, on the subject of “all cotton” farm ing: We have planted and cultivated, and borne the heat of the day, and the season has come foivwUgCt* days’ rest- How many haverolufc a suc cess or advanced in the old mother profession by* reflection and <*xperi- ment? Each can now see the fruits of his labors developing. The West ern farmer that is akin to everybody, looks over his broad acres of corn and smiles at the thought of a weighty corn crib and a disappointed winter. A Southern farmer, with a diversity of crops, feels himself an American citi zen. He has garnered his wheat and oats and now enlarges his corn crib, and makes new barrels for his syrup, w’hile his few acres in cotton bring him a few surplus dollars. But what is the condition of the man who planted all cotton? Truly he is a melancholy* man. He began his work the first day of January, and has toiled through heat and dust, and now* finds himself in the same tracks that he stood in fifteen years ago—so far as financial progress is concerned. He is perfectly’ exhausted, but, the worst of all is, he realizes that a new y*ear will dawn upon him again with empty hands. If that man does not need the sympathy of his people, who does? I have endeavored to picture tha condition of the two farmers, just as they exist. The one Yvill then ask, how can I better myself? Tell him to quit raising cotton, and he will inva riably say that I am obliged to raise it; I am in debt and I have no other way to get out; and, furthermore, I have not the necessary* means to chm- mence a different plan of operations. The trutli is, lie does not know how to quit. He has been going the same way so long that it has become habit ual with him. This is not supposi tion, but Is the real condition of two- thirds, if not three-fourths. Take the two different plans and compare the figures. Take the one-horse farm, for instance. The farmer should sow five agxea ill w.hcat^ktan mxd break Hie J laud well, mow and harrow in some half an acre of- rye in September for early use, sow another half in Novem ber. commence the first of January and sow ten acres of rust proof oats, and put thirty bushels of cotton seed to the acre. If your land is not good, plant twelve acres in corn as early* as possible; if the frost does bite it down it is that much the better, but plant it on your best land or manure it, if only* with muck or rich dirt. Plant eight acres in cotton and five hundred barrels of compost to tiie acre of your own make, which will not cost y*ou over two dollars per acre. Plant two acres in sweet and Irish potatoes, one acre in sugar cane upon a loose sandy loam, if y*on have it. You now have in the thirty-nine acres. The oats will make twenty bushels to the acre at the least calculation, or tYVo hun dred bushels for the ten acres, at twenty-five cents per bushel, is worth one hundred and fifty* dollars. Cotton seed, worth thirty dollars, deducted, will leave one hundred and twenty dollars. Your corn will make at least one hundred and twenty bushels, worth one hundred and twenty dol lars. The two acres in potatoes will make at least one hundred dollars. The one acre in sugar cane, if it makes anything, will make seventy-five dol lars’ worth of syrup. Tiie eiglit acres in cotton upon average laud, if plant ed as directed, Yvill make five bales of cotton, wortli two hundred and twen ty-five dollars, expenses of compost and ginning, twenty*-five dollars, which leaves two hundred dollars. You have made upon your diversified crops six hundred and fifteen dollars, with wheat, rye, fodder shocks, etc., thrown in for good measure, and have put everything at its least figures. Now take the man that plants all cotton. Twenty-five acres is as much as one man can work, from which if lie gets seven bales of cotton he will do well. If he manages to gather it all himself, which is more than he can do, his expenses will be for guano, ginning, etc., sixty dollars; his seven bales of cotton is worth three hundred and fifteen dollars; sixty dollars de ducted leaves two hundred and twen ty-five dollars—just three hundred and sixty dollars difference for a one- horse farm. My opinion is tiie six hundred and fifteen dollars will pay up all dues and leave enough to sub sist on while making another crop and have a few dollars left. It is no wonder that a {man does not succeed with only* two hundred and fifty dol lars to feed man and beast upon. One of the great points to be considered, if a person wishes to succeed, is to economize and save. It is surprising to know how little a person can live on, if brought to tiie necessity of it, for it is better to live cheap one year than all your life. By following this plan with a determination to go into debt as little as possible, in two or three years you Yvill be an indepen dent man. Successful Deep Plowing Culture. (Southern Cultivator.) M. F. G. has the following to say in regard to deep plowing: Allow me for the fln-t time, through the columns of The Cultivator, to publish a few arguments founded on facts and experience, and not on hear say and guess work. After entertain ing the idea of deep ploughing, and the right kind, for some six or eight years, I commenced with the resolu tion and determination to put into practice the doctrine I had advanced at other times, I selected twelve acres of land equally divided into corn and cotton. It was in early winter, that I turned the bottom stubbles with two horses with a two-horse Watt plow, subsoiling with two mules in bottom of furrow (made with the Watt) with a Murphy subsoilerthir teen inches from the point to the beam perpendieulnr above the point, run ning in the ground to the beam. Just before planting I procured some light “Gate City” plough stocks with new' ploughs on them, cross breaking the land^ and allowing them to run in tlv^.ground to the beam. After breaking, I harrowed well, then plan ted; ploughed three times and hoed twice. Several weeks drought pre vailed in our county*, during whioh time my corn was as green and fresh, apparently, as though it had had a good season. Now, after the seven weeks’ drought, I gathered thirty-two and a half bushels of corn per acre, without any manuring of any kind. And yet Yvithin one hundred and fifty yards, some of the same kind of land, cultivated by* renters, did not make fifteen bushels per acre. Had It been a good season I am forced to believe that the six acres would have made three hundred bushels. The cotton land was in cotton stalks and I broke it with the same subsoil, but without the turning operation. A small por? tion of it was an old field taken with* out guano. I made 185 pounds of cot ton, while renter’s land within ten steps (all jn stubble land) produced 2,200 pounds from nineteen acres. The above are facts, not hearsay, and I would be glad to learn from some one else who has tried deep ploughing. MISCELLANEOUS.
