A<Mress • DANIEL CKOS LAND, Aiken, S. C. Au Open Ijetter to the Farmers of South Carolina. Tj the Editor of the News and Courier: I ask space in vour paper, which reaches ever nook and corner of the State, to say a fe)y wprds to my fel- 1 >ws who belong to the despised and oppressed class called farmers. I cannot take time to reply to all. the letters of sympathy and approval I am receiving. I take this method of letting the writers know 1 appreciate their words of thanks and eneourace- men t, and will continue to battle for our lights as occasion offers. Without anticipating anything of the kind, circumstances or fate has pushed me into an unexpected prom inence as a leader in the movement which has as an object the'elevation, encouragement and protection of the farmers of the State. I have spoken nothing hut the truth, as I saw it, and have contended for simple justice. Justice is all we ask and nothihg less should satisfy us. Ip making this demand I .have toucheda chord which vibrates from Oeoegetown to Oconee. The pent up indignation of the far mers lias found a voice through me, and the masses of our people are I ready to follow any one, however in- | significant, who has the boldness to i lead. I did not commence this agita tion with any such expectation, but I | should he a cow ard to refuse to lead, ! at least, till we organize. The farmers can then choose their own "Moses” I feel it my duty to do this much and to try to direct the storm I have rais ed till such an organization is perfect- j ed. i The way out of this wilderness is plain. Even I can lead you out, hut | 1 cannot either drive or carry you out , oa my hack. ‘Who would he free, him self must strike the blow*.’ I have work I ed you up and shown you some of the ! wrongs and impositions heaped upon you, not alt by any means. But one sharpshooter, however bold, can an noy our masters. These men say: "Farmers won’t stick together, they are such fools,” and "this tiling will soon blow over,” ‘just keep quiet and these farmers will go tc sleep again presently and we cap cqntinuc our misrule and robbery.” But my brother farmers, .we must not go to sleep again. We cannot afibrd it.

A few of the Republican Senators show signs of weakening, but the attempt will no doubt be madiras soon ns all ths Republican Senators are in their seats. Senator Hopple one ol the Hamilton county Senators, as a question of privilege today de mam’ed that the Committee on Privileges and Elections proceed at once with the contest and permit no delay in reach ing a conclusion, A prominent Dem >cratio member of the Legislature said to-night how narrowly Sherman escaped defeat. It was by the irrevocable "No” of the man whom Sherman and his friends shamelessly maligned pending the organization of tho House, and after wards humiliated through Speaker Entrekin in making up the commit tees, namely, ex-Speaker Thomas A. Cowgill. Four Republican members of the Legislature who were opposed to Sherman agreed to combine on Cow- gill if the Democrats would help elect him. They voluntarily proposed this to the Democratic leaders. The proposition was duly considered and agreed upon, but when-presented to Mr. Cowgill he utterly refused to per mit it to he carried out, although ar rangements to that end had been com- j pleted. The Republicans who were | in favor of electing Cowgill would have voted against the summary ejectment of the Hamilton county tonitis which could only end fatally. A consultation was held in the case at which all the local physicians were present, and theconclusion was reach ed that the only chance under theeir- eumstances which the patient had, was to remove the oftendiug kidney. This rare and difficult operation was performed at the hospital yesterday afternoon. It attracted all the medical talent. After the patient had oeen put under the influence of au anaesthetic, an incision was made in the abdomi nal wall just below the umbilicus, about six inches long. Great care was taken not to lacerate the intestines, and a director was used when cutting -the peritoneum. After tlje opening had been made into the abdominal eavity, the intestines were pushed aside and partly raises 1 so as to enable the surgeon to get at the diseased kidney*. Tiie kidney was found to he greatly swollen and abljerent in many places to the surrounding tissue. By delicate manipulation the adhering surfaces were seperated so that tiie full extent of the kidney could be readily felt and examined. It wtiafound to be affected every part by Easily Cainetl Ring. From Interview with TP. II. Cole. 1 counted seven well-known bank rupt circus managers warming chairs by the stove in a saloon in this city only a couple of winters ago. Names? Well, no; I don’t care to give names. Two of them have since got up again, and I am in hopes of catching on ' , *itli one of them myself this spring. Do you remember the Coup Brothers ten years ago? Well, W. C. Coup was P. T. Barnum’s partner, organizer and manager. He it was that made old P. T. what he is, as far as circus busi ness Is concerned. In those days Coup was a great man, but nothing in appearance compared to his brother Zuch and George. The latter two, like tiie most dreys managers, gloried in tho possession ofsealskin coats and diamonds. It was a common saying that neither of them ever walked out with less than $50,000 o»- $70,000 worth profusely displayed. W. C. Coup, however,always dressed and comport ed himself as a gentleman. Time passed and reverses came. W. C. Coup left Barnum and organized a circus of Ida own, which, after many escapes, finally came to grief at De troit. He afterwards became a muse um manager and joined Dr. Carver in a Wild \Vef»t show. He lost steadily, however, until almost at the foot of the ladder, but with n bold front lie j steadily battled on, and at length or ganized an equcscuvriculum of trained horses, which took the East bv storm and lifted him once more on his feet. He is now organizing a trained animal show which he intends taking to England, and every showman in this country is wishing good luck to plucky Bill Coup. His brothers, hov. * ever, have not been so fortunate. Dan Casteljo is another old-time manager whom I met in Chicago spine time since, thoroughly broken financially, while George De Hav*u, who atone time had such a circus that no can vas-top could be made to cover it, and who exhibited by put ting up side walls, is now advance agent far Popcorn George. Ad Na thans I have last sight of ever since, his elegant little .circus was wrecked at GarnoL Kan., and Dun Rice, tie veteran, is in Galveston, laying claim to 1 he city, alleging that in the long ago H*s father (Dan Maclaren) willed to him the ground whereon the city now stands.

This was at once removed. Keeping the neigh boring internal organso.ut of the way, the surgeon gradually worked the kid ney upward until it was brought into a favorable position for cutting. The appendage which united it tothe olh- er organs was unusually thick, and it required several cuts with scissors to sever It. The kidney was then re moved from the body, while the blood spurted from tiie lacerated arteries into the abdominal cavity. The bleeding points were picked up after much ditliculty and the arteries were ligatured, after the patient had lost a large amount of blood from hemorrhage. The abdominal cavity was then carefully washed out with of words which had caused the cold- * est to shiver. "It lias been said that greater ca lamities are inflicted on mankind by intemperance than by the three great historical scourges—war, pestilence and famine. This is true for us and it is the measure for our discredit and disgrace.” These words were not original with Mr. Gladstone, they had been uttered by a very able member of parliament, Mr. Charles Buxton, himself a brewer. But Mi*- Gladstone had given them the weight of his sanction. The Archdeacon, in a splendid pero ration recited the terrible evils wrought by war, pestilence and fam ine, and asked how it was that a vice perfectly preventable, which outdid them all combined, should be allow ed to stalk among us. He appealed eloquently to the humane feelings of bis hearers, saying that it was pity, above everything else, which had led him to devote his energies to the tem perance cause. Many were weary and disheartened at the slowness with which the movement pushed itself forward. Uobden Wright had organ ized a g;eat reform agitation, and within ten years their labors had been crowned with success. But it is now fifty years sinee Joseph Livcsey’s amous seyen men of Preston signed the first total abstinence pledge in England, and yet the movement could inly be said to have got well started. Nevertheless; he had immense hopes from the late extension of the fran- •hine in England, Whenever lie walked into Westminister Abbey he had all around him memorials of the great anti-slavery struggle. There was the tomb of Wilbprfprce, and there were the names of the mighty heroes of that glorious past, v y'tten in imperishable letters. He reminded his hearers of tho debt that America •wes to England for her origin and progress, and particularly for her free- lom from the curse of slavery. He would have Americans know that they now have an opportunity of dis charging that debt. America was dis tinetly and decidedly in advance of England on tiie temperance question —this he said not in flattery, but be cause it was true. Let America now inspire England and England help America in this great crusade for hu- mnnitj*. The last words he would say were the words of that dying hero: “Fight, tight, fight, in the battle of the Lord. . *■ Tho County Press. Columbia Register.

In the course of his able address at the great Temperance reception, given him i>y the National Temperance .So ciety and the Church Temperance .So ciety, Archdeacon Farrar said: From the disgraceful day of the Pa triarch in his tent, the use of intoxi cants had been responsible for tha ruin of the noblest heart* and Intel.- lects. Again, the ^rdlideaeon could refer his hearers to many standard works of English history, in no way written with the remotest intent of benefiting the temperance cause, in which the most uuaiiswerablo truths stood forlli j to trumpet the necessity of a tem- I poranee reform. He would ask them tc read Mr. Trevelyan’s brilliant life an antiseptic solution and every trace j of /paries j ame s Fox, and they of the irritating pus removed. An !

He would com mend to them Sir John Kay’s and Mr. Kinglake’s histories, the former of which told how battles were lost in India because of drunkenness, and the latter of v,hifh declared that tjie the pul healthy enough condition to do dou ble duty. The intestines and other organs being properly returned to po sition. the opening in tho abdomen waselosed by silver and catgut sutures and the wound bandaged witli anti septic dressings. The patient rallied from tiie attending shock and appears to have a chance of recovery. British soldiers in the Crimea were brave as lions though gentle as wo- i men, when they did not degrade ! themselves by drinking. He would 1 remind them how Lecky, in his j "History of European Morals,” had office I would have had Cowgill not refused to take the Senatorship. The votes would then have stood 7G for Cowgill without his own vote, to 72 for Slier- -.1.11. The refusal of Hi. Cowgill to Agricultural Society 1 i-*ke tiie Senatorship, in tho face of the mistreatment of the Sherman whig of the party, shows him to be much more generous than the clique who surrounded the Speaker and hu miliated Mr. Cowgill by putting him a the head of the most inconsequen tial committee of the House, and the o.ie which stands last on the list.

The newspaper* can only be what the people supply the means to make It,and its success is,therefore as much an evidence of the intelli gence of the constituency which sus tains itas of the ability and good man agement of those who conduct it. A well conducted newspaper is an essential to the progress of every In telligent community, and lias more, perhaps, to do with the true and healthful development ana conserva tion pf all its interests, material, so cial and moral, than any other single agency which operates upon them. What city or town in Houth Caroli na could not make advancement with out an} one of tiie many business en terprises wnic.h may be successfully conducted In its midst? But what city or town which haci enjoyed the benifits of a well-conducted news paper could afford or would consent to have it stricken from the list of its industries? We honestly believe there is no town in our State where a newspaper is published, whose every interest would not feci the shock, and be im mediately affected by the suspension j of its paper, and it is a fact which con stitutes the bond and identity of in- tore ;t between the public and the press. It is, therefore, a gratifying sigp of generally increasing prosperity*, to find so many of the country papers enlarging and ad ling to tlirir facul ties fordoing bu-iness, ami respond ing to the demands upon them to give their patrons better papers for their money.
