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. John C. Seegers

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. Seegers in the chair, and under
lie Tillman call elected a delegate
from each township, and live for the

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
