Mr. Evans having been invited i take the.place of Hon. D. S. Hender son, who will be absent in Columbia him of manifesting every matrimonial symptom. He goes out moiefrequently now than ever before, and those who m ret him on his alternoon drives with bis private Secretary, come to the imaginative conclusion that he looks very happy' and sentimental despite the cares of State. Congress has come to a point in the session where il is necessary to exer cise the pluck of principle. Various appropriation bills for the aid of edu cation, falsely so styled in some iu- s:ances, for new pensions,for river and harbor improvement, for public build ings. and other enterprises for ex pending the people’s money, are coin ing up for action. The Republican minority, feeling responsibility nei ther for the House nor the President, do not care ii the record of the session is copspicuous for extravagancy and a grave responsibility is thus placed, upon the Democrats in Congress. The River and Harbor hill is now before tbe House and members are working at it section by section and voting away money in order to help each other carry doubtful districts in tiie coming lull elections. Each one of a dozen little unheard-of rivers and •reeks and bays, in as many Slates wants an apitiupriation b* dredge its channel two feet deeper perhaps, so that the one or two steamboats that piie its waters, may not run aground. Somo of tiicse demands upon the Treasury vaults would be ludicrous il i they were not so outrageously impu dent. Their only excuse is the neces- ity of Congres-inen to buy votes with Government money', and their only chance of passage is the average members willingness to 1 ig-ndl. The .Senate on Wednesday passed between four and live hundred private pension bills; the largest days work that either branch of Congress ever did. It also voted to erect a tire nroot hall in this city for keeping records, uid .Senator Hoar wittily asked before voting for it, if it were specially in- .'*uded for the safe-keeping of tin dent being sick, Capt.

Correspondence of the Aiken Recorder. The Picnic and Fish Dinner .Season meeting at which the Tillman call would be discussed, he said: “1 can see no reason for a farmers’ convention at this time, and more particularly as Mr. Tillmau’s call makes very grave charges against the State officers, thereby (dearly indicat ing some ulterior object to be served by this call. Several of the most im portant laws that have been enacted by the Legislature have been entirely in the interest of tiie fatmers. We have always been strong enough,numerical ly to carry through any measure. If we have not gotten ail we think we should hfive, it was not for want of strength. In responding to Mr. Till- mr.n’s call I think we should studi ously avoid any matter tending pol itically and adhere rigidly to the dis cussion of agriculture.” Col. Taylor’s views proved to be those of the club. The Tillman call was read, and after discussion it was decided tnat the club should elect five delegates to the convention. A com mittee office was appointed to nomi nate delegates, and present the follow ing ticket, which was unanimously elected: Thos. Taylor, J. C. F. 8tms, W D .Starling, C O Marshall and John C. Seegers. The following jn'eamble and resolutions were adopted: Whereas, a convention of farmers is called, to meet in Columbia on the 29th instant, for the purpose of devis ing some means, if possible, to relieve the present depressed condition of agriculture in tiie Suite; and, where as, this Club cordially' and heartily approves of any’ movement honestly and sincerely made in the interest and for the promotion of our beloved profession. Resolved, By the Richland County Farmers’ Club, that thh delegates elected to represent it in^thia con vention be instructed to use\£heir best efl' rt to promot ? the beatinteirjsts of . arnn rs whihrstudiousltfindJzealoiu- ly re peeling tbe righ classes. • • Resolved, That our delegation pledged to oppose unalterably the introduction of any political matter whatever in any shape or way inU. aid convention, as such aetjon would in the opinion of this oiub, be a direct and fatal blow at the unity and inte'"- ,iity of the Democratic party, which .TUist, at all buzzards and at any sacri fice of personal feel lings be maiutaiu- d intact, and should said convention determine to discuss political question: they shall withdraw should they de. m it a Ivisable. Tiie meeting then adjourned. A farmers meeting for Richland County was subsequently held, with .dr.

John Peter Richardson, State treasurer, and a member of tiie club, was called on for a statement of the oast and present rate of taxation ane he condition of the finances and credit of the Statepind readily respon , ed. although in so short a time that ,t was impossible for him to canvass fully’ the intricacies of the subject. He showed that under Radical assess ment of someone hundred and eighty million dollars (over thirty’ miliums more than the present one) there was collected three million dollars taxes while no interest was paid and b huL were annually issued to the amount if live millions. State bonds coulo scarcely’ be sold ah fifteen to twenty cents on the dollar. Now, with an ussesment under one hundred an: 1 fifty millions, the whole taxes, Sta e and county are about eighteen hu - dred thousand dollars. Now, with an issessinent under one hundi\d and fif y’ millions, the who e ta :e-i, State and county’, are a'noi t eigiiteen hundred thousand dollais whili every 7 debt is paid, interest i- pr inptl.v, met the day it is due an Si .to bonds are worth 109 to 1 0 on th : lo!Iar. In this sum was include,: some $250,030 derived from tiie two mill school tax imposed by the people on themselves. He asked if this condition of affairs warranted the at tacks recently made upon the Leg! - latare State and as executive officer “robbers,” of t! e HlplCS.HOl - ; _ y m first speaker ]»r. and “corruptionists?” Did not capi- 11lists kno w what they were doi l when they gave as high,if not a higher price for our bonds than for those oi my otiier State in the Union, espe cially considering their early maturi ty’. Col. Richardson’s eloquent ad- dress.of which this is a mere sominaiy was heartily endorsed by t he meeting which soon titter adjourned. Tne sentiment of the farmers of Richland County is thoroughly op posed to the promotion of any uoliti- ,*al end through the agenev of a far mers’ convention, and the delegates, even if uninstructed,would vote to sup press any movement in that direc tion.
