Certain it is no stir has been manifested in this section, and in Mr. Tillman’s own neighlinrhoori there has been something of a stir in an opposite di rection. And one of the largest fann ers in the State—not an Edgefield firmer, by the way—said to the wri ter, that the name of fanner'a move ment, as applied, was a misnomer; that no considerable portion of the farmers were in it or eared a straw about it. Tills accords with our in formation and observation. The farmers’ movement (so-called) failed us we have said because of its own weakness. The farmers in the Legislature saw no way open-to them to especially advance their interests. They, like all other classes of citizens, •md no more and no less, are inter ested in an honest and economical government. What could they do more than they have been doing year after year? They have been there all Hie time in a majority, and they have been honest and intelligent men. if they had been oppressed, if theii rights had not been respected in the matter <>f iegi-laLk.u, was there none among them of 1* riousness and its false Ideas of econ omy.

For several years Edgefield has had live farmers out of six members in tin- General Assembly, and they .haw been man who knew their rights and who were possessed of sufficient cour age to maintain them. And in the face of this aF iriners’ Movement (so- called) was started. What wonder ii ! failed? True Mr. Tillman had smu- pet schemes that, lie had nursed uniii lie qo doubt fully believes they arc the very gospel of salvation to the farmers, but lie is expecting too much if he expects the. Legislature of a State to stand id his back ami do bis bid ding. Mon, farmers, may difier witii him and be honest. Ami they may also differ with hitr and (>e right. The hich he inti nates may come to the “unfaithful”, when the “settlement will be had” may not prove as serioni as he anticipates. The farmers know that tills is a govern ment of and for the people, irrespect ive of classes and conditions, and all classes and conditions of onr people, even tin- country.editors, arekis much except their own—and digging into laws and usages established by better men. Now, it would have been far better, it seems, to let those salaries and perquisits, already suinil, Hone, | and paid more attention to legislation 1 that would increase the revenue o! Hie State in other ways than by direct taxation. There are numerous ways to do it when once it wants to be done-. For instance, there urc-thous ands of acres of land, forfeited to the State, i'n the hands of the Sinking Fund Commisoiom That land is ly ing idle, paying no taxes, pr -duciug nothing—just lying there. .Suppose (hat land was put hack on* the tax bunk* am! made to bear its part of the. burden; and suppose other loose ends i.ke this were picked up and made to vield a revauue, would It Dot make <ax -s lower an ! money more plenti ful, and prosperity more general, than to chop off the wages of workeis who are already working at bottom ! rU-es? jut Dr. Rope ami his col leagues could not see both ends of tlie uuesfion at once, and unfortunately they saw the wrong end. It was'si question of increased revenue from avai’able but unused sources, or nig gardly paid service, ami they chose the latter. Instead of trying to in crease the income of both State and people they have conclude 1 that it is mare economical to spend less rather tlir.n make more.

This editor to-day is pressed just as the farmers are pressed —pressed because they are pressed. It cannot be otherwise, and we mention it to show that our interests are iden tical with theirs, and our opposition to the so-called farmers’ movement is not. therefore, because we are an edi- U-r and may by some be supposed to feel no interest in the cause of agri culture, hut it is based on a mature and deliberately formed opinion that it bodes no good to the farmers of the State. It does nut reach the evil un der which our farmers are suffering, and it cannot be reached by legisla tion, though every member of the General Assembly be a farmer and the son of a farmer. Appeals may lie made to the baser passions and prejudices of men, and hobbies may be ridden unto the death of both horse and rider, but until our farmers resolve to, and do, make in dividual sacrifices in the interest of economy, work harder, loose less time from the fields, plant more corn and less cotton, the stringency of money matters will be felt as to-day. the hard times will continue to be and- abide with ns. But these resolves rigidly carried to effect, and ttie fa vor of providence in due seasons of rain and sunshine, an era of jirosperity for our farmers would soon dawn, and shouts of joy and gladness go out trom whence now comes the cry o. distress. The great weakness, so to speak, of the movement, consisted in the fact that it was a movement against our own people, against our own party, against ourselves. True, charges of extravagance, incompeteue.y, etc., were freely made, and Mr. Tillman- says they were proven, but he, as prosecutor, would hardly be compe tent as Judge to determine as to the weight of the evidence. And the cause was further weakened by the zeal witii which £onie of the “old issue” caught on to the new move ment, when during all their previous terms of service they had never dis covered anything going wrong. Thinking men began to think, and t<> wonder why it was, if (he State was going to the “deninition how-wows,” as icpresented that they had left it to others to make the discovery. And then, too, when “a stir” was being made, they noticed that the stirrers were principally candidates, ex-cand idates or candidates in prospective.: This gives it the appearance of a* new deal with the old cards.” And then queer combinations were made, and com hi nations that said, in effect. papers aim an infringe on the rights of ev ry tax payer. If is an injustice to the newspaper be cause it takes away patronage as richly deserved asany patronage ever criven. It takes away the only print ing of any consequence that a county may give a paper, and that is the only resented this, arxl } onjy wanted c:q>ee't<$?t'> bt:. and usually were, a matt, r of . : >. “Verf ttAlI,” he said, twirling 1 1iat op i s hand, “I ju.-T dropped to teij’you that I am goingAo he hext-Scyater from Illinois.” ' . .

BATES & CO Notions, Clothing, ‘'You tickle roe and I’ll tickle or,'“‘Don’t you prod me and I won’t prod you.” All these thisgs have been noticed by the musses, and this is why the masses failed to sustain the movement. The fact is the peo ple are sick and tired of this hue and cry, this attempt to poison the minds of one class against another class, when the true interests of all are iden tical and all must suffer- if the seeds of discord are permitted to take root and bear fruit, for the fruit is evil and evil only. But the Monitor, in its bumble sphere, will endeavor to pour oil on the troubled waters, to furnish nn antidote for the poison, to labor for the good of the whole people. . sand and one benefits it receives at the paper’s hands. Each year every local paper gives from $100 to $5,000 ;n free lines for the benefit of the county m which It i> located. It is a watch dog on public affairs, telling immediately the moment things go wrong. No other agency can or. will do this. The editor of a county pa per, in proportion to his means, does more for his county than any other ten men, and in all fairness, man with man, lie is justly entitled to the small amount of patronage that has heretofore been given him, and for that he has always given value re ceived. It may not he a briiliiant journal, nor crovded with great thoughts; you may not like the wri tings of its editor, but financially a paper is of more benefit to a county than a dozen lawyers, preachers or teachers, and on a question of morals the majority of local papers will he found on the right side. These points are all usually conceded, and even advantage that can he is generally held out to (he newspaper. Nobody has ever grumbled about the printing bills since the Democrats brought them where they ought to be ten years ago. 'i’he satisfaction of seeing where the public money goes is fa; greater than the cost. Every m.m who pays his taxes lias a right to know what goes with the money, and how are you to know if no report is ever made to the public? A report is made to the presiding judge of the first court held a.ter the end of the fiscal year; hut is that judge supposed to* be familiar witii our county affairs, or as much inter ested in them as the men who have t<> pul up the meney to run the county ? How can lie tell whether that charge of a thousand dollars to bridge Way- back creek bought plauks or nails for .public use, or found its way into the pockets of some dishonest official? What has the judge to do with it, any how ? Are not the people the right ful, judges of their servants’ works? BuiJapw ax*e they to know anything if ff£pccount is ever rendered them ? Whatever cl--e it u:ay do, this cut ting off from publication of the an nual >-eports of county officers will aliorti them an opportunity to perpe trate any jobbery they may desire, and no one will ever be the wiser. It gives them an opportunity to make g >od the slice taken oft tlieir income, and draw a little ii.ierest for their trouble. Wonder if that was the idea? fl’lie next session of the Legislature will be different from the past in more “Want to announce it?” he asked. “I am certainly going to win. No Chi cago paper has memioned it. Per haps they won’t. You have always treated me square, and I have come in to tell you the news and give you. the chance.” I thanked him, and he we.it out. Then I dropped around to see Char ley Farwell, Chicago’s favorite Con gressman, and tell hiiq about tho ap parition. “Logan’s all right.” he said. ‘Tic is on the right track. I guess he’s going to bring down the coon.” I returned to my office and wrote an article nominating Logan in form al fashion. A few days afterwards I got a short note from him saying: “All right. I see you got the news.” I went down to Springfield and witnessed his canvass. It was unique. His headquarters were in on. suite of rooms, and those of his energetic ami .spirited wife were at the other end of tho hall. She had a bevy of hand some and accomplished girls to help her. The rooms were crowded tii! late at night. Mrs. Logan was more tlma an agreeable entertainer; she was a politician. She knew the poli tics of different counties and towns and who the influential men were in different, localities; and she seemed to understand the status of a visitor in tuitively. It was a short, sharp cam paign, and Logan was elected. CIuy’8 Infat nation With Poker- From the Boston Budget. Henry’s favorite recreation for many vears was a game of poker, to which at one time he was passion ately addicted, not for the stakes, but for the distraction and excitement of the game. Mr. Winthr >p says that there is a tradition that while Clay was visiting B >ston in 1818, and lodg ing at the obi Exchange Coffee House In Congress street, a servant ran into the parlor in which he was at the poker table witii a few older gentle men of the old school, and announced that the hotel was on fire. “Oh, there will be time enough, I think,” cried Mr. Clay, “to finish our game;” and finish it they did before the hotel was burned to the ground. A similar tradition was current in Washington at a later period that while Mr. Clay was Speaker he and his friends had passed a whole night at cards, and wer$ still going on with their games when the hour was close at hand for A Judge Intoxic.itftd. Detroit. January 5.—An extraordi nary scene was enacted in the superi or court to-day just before the Whea ton Beecher case taken from the jury and a verdict ordered entered for tin defendant. The action was brought by ex-Mayor W. W. Wheaton to re cu>ver $50,000 damages from Luther Beecher for comparing Wheaton. t< the Island of Cyprus. It has been In progre s .several weeks, and was im portant as settling the right of a citi zen to criticise a candidate for an ap pointive offi.-e, Wheaton at the time being an applicant tor the city eon- tmliership. During t he vvhHo of the afternoon ^Judged. Logan Chipman had made frequent excursions from the bench to his private i.fiiee, which opens into the court room, and during these trips the proceedings in the ease were necessarily stopped. It was noticed that he was rapidly growing loqua cious, his remarks were iacoherein and rambling, and it was soon per- ^uctly clear that tiie judge had made t least one too many visits to hie private office. At 4<>’clock he com plained of tpe time tiie case was con suming an<binterlarded his complaint with eulogies upon Mr. Wheaton, the jplaintilf; Mr. Beecher, the defendant, and the .various lawyers in the ease. £s;fld m‘had a positive affection for in and lov.m them HI.

What good is there in it? The family know that such glowing eulo gies are false. Even quite young people know that the preacher is no» telling the truth. The neighbors all know it. The effect is evil in two di rections. It is the obliteration of the line between right and wrong. A young person hearing a defective char,acter highly ami wjiolly extolled concludes thin moral teachings have no real basis—that evil is just as good as good Secondly: It breaks down confidence in ami respect for the min istry, and for religion itself.

Paying Oil'Neyrro Politicians. Augusta Correspondence, of News rnd Courier. As your correspondent was making his daily rounds in search of news to day, he noticed quite a crowd of negroes a waiting in front of the City- Court Clerk’s office and stopped to enquire the cause of such a gathering. Every few minutes he could see, over the heads of the crowd, the door open ing, when a negro would come onf ami another would take his place some would make theii way through the crowd uttering curses at tin ir treatment, while others would come out smiling with money In their hands, which they would show fo the others. After witnessing this for a few minutes I inquired of some of the negroes what was going on inside. Tlieir reply was that they were being paid off for working for Mr. Keener in the recent pblitica 1 contest for clerk of the Court. Some had as much as six dollars, while others had only fiftj- cents. It is said that the gentlemen inside had a bag of silver money on llietable, which they were distributing to the negroes. No comments an- necesnrv. A parrott yvho had been watch ing the man said: “Roor fellow. Is it sick? ’ This aroused Che chunk ard’s ire, and he commenced cursing, and as ho saw no one, he raved ami swore the more. “C >m-.* out, you cowardly rascal, he cried, “an 1 I’ll pommel you ti’! your rn ther w'on know yon.” ‘Tie, ha!” laughed (hr parrot, “It’s a naughty thing.

Dividing; the Estate. “Ah, go al-morning, Mr. Skinner.” remarked Lawyer Fleecem, as lie met his fellow lawyer on the street. “I hear old Ricefield died last night.” “Yos/’ responded the oCier; “1 am the attorney for his daughter, and I’m just going up to see her.” “Indeed! Well, I’m the attorney for his son. Can’t we make a little something out of this?” Lawyer Skinner stroked his chin reflectively. “I think we might,” he said. “I’ll advise Miss Ricefield to con tent the will. I’ll tell her that her brother has no right',to half the estate, and that if she will oiilv go to court she might as well have it all.” “Um—yes; and I’ll defend it her brother. But, suppose I defeated?” “Then appeal it.” “And if voti’re defeated?” • “Why’ I’ll appeal it.” “But when it gets to the highe court?” •‘Oh, we’ll, have the c<- :\[e oi selves and then, we’ll divide it.'
