A Momiutental Failure. The Legislature lias met and ad journed, and we find matters veiy much the sume as before thia body convened. # The great hue and cry for eeonomy and reform raised by Capt. Tillman and hi* followers under the specious guise of a farmers move ment, has fizzled out in the most in consequential manner, simply from the fact that our Stale government was already conducted on a substan tial basis of honesty and economy in all i ts departments. Notwithstand ing the fact that a large proportion of the members owed their election di rectly to the class agitation inaugu rated by Capt. Tillman, and the fur ther fact that he was there in person as chairman of a lobbying committee to intlueuce legislation, we doubt if a more conspicuous instance of general failure can be cited. Not a single feature of farmer Till man's programme has been success fully carried out. Ills expensive ag ricultural college scheme was knock ed iu the head at the first dash, and even the poor little experimental sta- *tlon bill, that was intended as an en tering wedge :o.- his agricultural col lege, lifts been so cruelly mangled by arnendiueuls that it is practically in- ot>erative. The original bill provided for one station. The amended act provides for two, one in the Piedmont region and the other in the lower sec tion of the ritate. Only ten thousand dollars is appropriated for tiie ex- penscs of the two farms, and the act is based upon the improbable ftssump < t|on that some county, community, or society of persons are going to do- r ^jale latid, buildings and additional money. None of these things are go ing to lufppen, and it is highly t roba- btc that life Board of Agriculture will find it impossible to operate two scien- titio experimental farms with the in sufficient sum of ton thousand dollars. The act requires careful experiments with seeds, fertilizers and plants, and to d"' thissuceessfuliy requires money, aud not a little of it either. The field of experiment is paved with difficul ties at every step, and to enter it with Insufficient means for reaching final - and satisfactory conclusions would lead only to useless trouble and mor tifying disappointment. Under these circumstances the Board of Agricul ture, which has accomplished so much to build up a useful department in the interests of the people, will douMleor move with great caution tUITTTTTC TTTTT Tjnuil.M. Uifi.iu one dollar of the appropriation. YVc dc not wish to be understood as in any manner opposing the establish ment of experimental stations, for we consider the plan far more practical and economic Mian the college scheme for diffusing valuable agricultural in formation, but we do mean to say that success under the present insufficient appropriation is Impracticable. This condition of things has been mainly brought about by the farmers themselves who held seats in the Legislature, aud who seem to have turned the cal 1 shoulder to the arch agitator as soon as they received their Certificates of election. It is a com paratively easy thing to vilify and abuse painstaking officials and arouse the prejudices and passions of a par ticular class to a high state of excite ment. but when cooling time lias been allowed for cal in reflection, justice and moderation step into the arena with certain perplexing economic questions, and the arch-agitator in variably dwindles and shrinks into an unwise and insignificant leader. This has been the fate of Capt. Till man. He has proved himself a stal wart agitator, but as a leader of men and an organizer of effective plans, he has certainly proved a monumental fiiiure. He has been slain in the house of his friends and by some of the very men who obtained their seats by the uproar of class prejudice which he created. It is a remarkable fact, which can be easily demonstrated bv consider Aik< n in point of tempera ture and climate, the most desirable of any place iu the United States.’’ The Hon. Joseph Pulitzer, of the JVeie FbrAr World, says: "Those who are unfortunate enough to suffer from bronchial or lung troubles, may re gard themselves as fortunate if thej’ are able to spend at least the harshest part of the winter in Aiken.” Let ters from numerous ether prominent northern gentlemen have been re ceived testifying in similar language to the glorious health-restoring cli mate of Aiken. It is safe to say that for lung and throat troubles the dry and balmy climate of Aiken is une qualled. as a r .o ;>>+* the group bet- ; and Davis and attempted x . .. the condition of affairs. In letters to ^Ir. E. P. Heuder on, time, 1 A. M. Owens, came walking up the street, ills situation was Sueli that be could set, and was but a short dis tance trom the ;a*ople who began to move w ith one.accord; but a block of buildings was between him and the office referred to and pr-vented him from seeing what eau;- ;■ • oite- iiient. As soon, however, as he seem ed to become aware of the extraordi nary and universal rush, be ran for ward through the mass of men and around to where he could get an un obstructed view, and immediately fired. Mr. Davis cried out, "Oil, I am sliqt! Who ditl it?” He staggered, and Mr. Patterson caught him in his arms, called to the crowd to go for a doctor, and tore open the coat to ex amine as to the loea: ion of the wound. \V. A- Owens lingered but for a mo ment and then fled from the spot. He is still at large. Mr. Davis is suf fering great pain from bis wound, which Ids physicians consider seri ous, but not necessarily fatal. The occurrence is deeply deplored hy the entire community, and unaffected sympathy is felt for all who are in any way alleeted by the sad affair. Both parties were perfectly sober, and Mr. Davis imi not been on the streets longer than a half hour before he was shot. Both the parties are most respecta bly connected here, \V. A. Owens be ing the grandson of the iate William Aiken Owens, Ksq., ami .Mr. Davis being the mm-in-law of Mr. K. A. Bronson, editor ami proprietor of the t. Death of Senator Log-.m. Senator John A. Logan, of Illinois, died at his residence in Washington D. C. on the CCth of December. He distinguished himself as a General in the Federal Aarmy, during* the war between the States, and was, at the time of his death, one of the most prominent politicians in the ranks of the Republican party. Had he lived, he would probably have been the strongest competitor that Mr. Blaine would have had to confront for the Republican Presidential Nomination, in 1388. He was loved and respected, bv those who knew him, for his blunt and honest manhood, and generous personal traits; but he was one of the bitterest, and most unrelenting ene mies that the South has ever known. Notwithstanding this, w’e can respect and admire an open enemy of strong individuality, whose record is un smirched by a single unclean act. Judge Norton. Col. J. J. Norton of Oconee, has been elected by the General Assembly is the successor to Judge J. B. Cotb ran of the eighth circuit. There were five candidates for the position, Messrs YV. II. Parker and E. H. Gray- don of Abbeville, B. F. Whitner of Anderson, T. Q. Donaldson of Green ville and J. J. Norton of Oconee. Col. Norton was elected on tho fifth ballot, Mr. Parker of Abbeville being second in the race.

Vai'cTese, B. C., Dec. 27.—[Spec ial.]—Saturday about 1 o'clock, a. m., a fight occurred in front of vfus Her rv’s house, on Social Circle or Green street, between Mr. Joel McDaniel, \\ r m. G.'Feagin, Joel Feagin, (and it seems others.) During the fight Mc Daniel was shot in the left side, iu tiie abdomen and in the back, and received a slight wound in his In-ad.

Feagin and his \oung brother Joe, the former being accused of holding McDaniel while Joe Feagin shot him. Both of them were arrested by Om- s'nlno YY\ Couch, and given a nrelim- liary hearing' before- Squire Burns, who granted them bail at five hun dred dollars each. YY'arrants were immediately served on Mc»s;v. Geo. Feagin, Edward Feaci i and YY r ylov Berry,* and they were arrested or a charge of being accessories to the shooting. None of tin* parties live in Vaueluse except Edward Feagin. Mr. Gti- Berry, Jasper Farmer and .7. D. Green, are the principal witness- s in the ease. All parties concerned in the terrible row were under the intlu euce of whiskey, and were first cous in*, and say that they .have nothing against each other, but that they have had some quarrels and lights before this. A few hours before this row, there occurred another at the residence ol Mr. J. B. YY’oodwards, in tiie eastern part of our town, in which quite a number took part, but no one it seems got hurt except YY’m. Turner, who was wounded pretty badly on his head, f ice and hand. He got one of his g naorn • hrolrenauui -terribly mashed. ‘e says Mr. YVyatt Watts beat him over the head with a plank. Bo me of the party broken few panes of glass iu the window.
