Birmingham, Ala , Dec. 11.—Ex citement over the affair of Saturday has abated. Troops are still here and will remain several days. Gov. Seay arrived here at 11:35 o’clock last night and immedialely held a conference with Col. Jones. The governor, in an Interview, said he came to satisfy himself by personal observation of the situation here, to learn what pub lic sentiment was, and to decide whether or not it would be necessary to take Sheriff' Smith away iMitil tiie excitement had passed. INDORSES THE SHERIFF. The governor had interviews with many gentlemen this morning on the suhjecl(j£ the tragedy of Saturday night. The governor afterward had an interview with Sheriff Smith, and said that lie indorsed the Sheriff and was glad that Jefferson County had a high sheriff who, no matter how pain ful his duty, could uphold the law and protect the county jail. The event of the day wa«* the re- {lease of Sheriff Smith on bond. Judge Winkley, who committed him was appplied to and he took the mat ter under advisement. Attorney General Hawkins gave to Judge Winkley a written opinion that the facts in the case would warrant the release of Sheriff Smith on bond of not less than #10,000. Judge Winkley thereupon tfixed the bond at #25.000, and the sheriff was released. POPULAR INDIGNATION. No sooner had this fuel gained street eurrenev than it created a pro found sensation. People gathered about the streets and gave vehement evpression to their indignation. It was thought unjust that the murder er of so many people should go free on bond, while Hayes, who had mur dered only three members of his fam ily, should still be confined. It was openiy asserted that more violence would surely follow this action, ami predictions were made on ail sides that ■Sheriff Smith wliould not be alive at midnight. A SECOND WARRANT. A new turn came to affairs when another warrant charging Sheriff Smith with the murder of McCoy was sworn out. The wairant for his first arrrest was for the murder of Post master Throckmorton.

The jury in the Hawes murder case concluded the investigation to-day, and a verdict was rendered that both the woman and the girl, May Hawes, came to their death at the bands of R. R. Hawes, and that Fannie Bryant and Albert Patterson were accompli ces. Martin Walker and Jeff Brown (colored) have been arrested as sup posed accomplices in the Hawes mur der, but the evidence against them is only circumstantial. The verdict of the coroner’s jury in the Hawes case was anticipated and caused no excitement, as the iniliUry are still organized. The disposition in regard to the Hawes case is to let tiie law take its course. The princi pal indignation is directed against Sheriff Smith, and.it is probable that warrants will be sworn out for murder against him for every victim of Satur day night’s shooting. In tiie coroner’s investigation, which will commence to-morrow, all are invited to testify, and in this tribunal tiie people tay iliev will be beard. Dec. 13.—Tiie coroner’s Jury to-day began investigating the shooting at tlie county jail Staturday night last. Mayor Thompson was tiie only wit ness examined. He testified that tiie crowd continued to advance on tiie jail after repeated warnings given by the Sheriff and many otiiers. The crowd made many threats, and he be lieved they were in earnest. He heard considerable talk of using dyn amite. Could not say whether tiie first shot was fired by tiie officers or tiie crowd. He had given orders to hold tiie jail at all hazard. He did not call out tiie millitury because lie believed the civil authorities could hold tiie jail, and was opposed to the use of the millitury only as a last re sort. Mayor Thompson said hw in tended to bring the force of officers pelted by a brooding mania that knows neither com.eieuce nor reason. The loss of life and other casualties in the attack upon the jail at Bir- iiiiugliam, incident to the Hawes murders, add greatly to the horrors of that terrible crime. We will not at this time, when ex citement and passion still run high, undertake to express an opinion us to the degree of blame attaching to ei ther partv in that most deplorable conflict. We fear tiiat it has caused rankling wounds of tiie spirit that will remain to (rouble that communi- ty long after those of Hie body have healed. It is an important question for con- fideration whether both tiie commis sion of these great crimes and the at tempt of tiie people of Birmingham to take tiie law into their own hands are n«t to a great extent due to the delay and uncertainty of adequate punishment by the judgment of courts and juries. There lias been at Bir mingham, as well as in Georgia, late instances in which public opinion was outraged by the escape from jus tice of persons whose guilt was con sidered to be well established, or by tiie long delay in meting-out to them a just measure of punishment. Even instances of this kind may not lie regarded as a justification of asked Senator Ingalls what effect tiie election would have upon the South ern question. “The race question at tiie South,” he said, ‘'remains as it has always been, and, for tiie next generation, at least, will continue to be, tiie most important,and formidable in our pol itics. The change from slavery to freedom, from subordination to legal equality, lias complicated, instead of simplified, tiie situation. So far from solving the fatal problem, it li.is ad ded new elements of difficulty and danger.” “Is any immediate adjustment pro bable?” “Unless history is a lalse teacher it is not possible for two distinct races, | not liomog'ffieous—that is, which can not assimilate by intermarriage and tiie mingling of blood—to live upon terms of political equality under Hie same government. One or tiie other must go to tiie wall.” “Do you consider the two races ho mogeneous?” “Whether the Anglo-Saxon am! tiie negro races are homogeneous I do not pretend to say, but the evidence is clear that the mulattocs are disap pearing in the South.

He declares that the whqle history of the South since the war has been a record of repudiation—re pudiation in its meanest and basest shape* Virginia, North and South’ Carolina, Louisiana, Arkansas and several other Southern -States repudi ated outright, or repudiated hy the to start their material progress ane the war. He further says that Ihe South Carolina principle seems to be to get all the money you can from the Yankees and then turn the cold shoul-: der on them. Mr. Hateh. in closing his tirade, said: “I heard a discussion yesterday, among a number of gentleman, us[fo the best region of tiie United States for investment. Oregon, Washing ton Territory, California and other le gions west of tiie Rocky Mountains were favorably mentioned. When the immenee natural resourses abd advantages of the Southern Stares were spoken of one gentleman, whose whole family from his great-gran^ therdown have been Democrats, s: ‘If I had a million dollars to inves would never put one dollar soutli of tiie Mason and Dixon’s line if tKjs decision is confirmed.” ’ “What is tiie effect here?” * Its effect in financial circles here is shown bv tiie fact that South Caroli na 7 per cent bonds, which have been selling at 10j.j, fell off' 2'.j per cent in twenty-four hours after this- repudation decision was announced, and are still tending downward. If the faith of tiie North and of the out side world were implicit ni tiie honor of the Stale, these securities would to-day be wortli 140. There are #0,002,- 140 of these State bonds. They fall due in 1892. The people of South Carolina have been hoping to refund tliis debt at 4 per cent, a reduction of 3 per cent from tiie rate of interest they are now paying. But tor tins act of-judicial repudiation it could easily have been done, saving tiie State nearly #200,000 a year in interest besides getting a considerable premi um on the bonds.

Neither is it disputed that tiie ndxed race came from the union of black mothers with white fathers, and not of white mothers with black fathers.. The ethnological infer ence from tliis is irresistible. Tiie black is notonly growing blacker, but is increasing numerically much more rapidly thaa tiie white race. This is a factof ominous significance, and adds to tiie gravity of the issue. No intel ligent man (pretends longer to deny tint the blacks are not permitted to vote in many States south of the Ohio and Potomac, where they are in the majority; or if they vote their ballots are not counted. It is admitted that for some reason or other they would as a rule vote agaiust tiie whites if left to their own impulses. Whether this is the race antagonism of which I have spoken, and is casual and tem- joorary, I do not know. I suspect, however, that it is a permanent con dition. The pretext upon which sui- frage is denied the blacks in the South is that the race is not capable of self- government, and that its supremacy would result in the degradation and ietv and the Btatf. don’t distrust the sincerity or can dor of the Southern whites.

Escaping J'rom .lustits*. with no outside help—with tiie dis trust and contempt of the world,. ” From tiie Augusta Chronicle. Tiie Chronicle lias repeatedly cham pioned the cause of the Southern pine. We believe the pine tree is bound to beat down the cotton stalk—in time. Southern pine lands have been bought by Northern capitalists, and those who may hereafter desire to in vest in Southern pines will have to content themselves with scattering tracts or buying at considerable ad vanced prices. Some day the yellov pine of tiie South will he the chief source of supply oi the West, and al ready it is beginning to drive out Northern white pine. In Soiuli Carolina the lumber in terest produces 12 percent of tiie lum- of the Union; tiie value of saw mill products reaching #6,236,677, main ly yellow pine and cypress. Tiie tar and turpentine products, supplying one-third tiie whole amount in the coun’ry, represent a product at #2,912- 271. Tiie product of tiie lumber industry of Georgia was valued in 1885 at #7,- 501,460. The lumber export is valued at three millions, and tiie export of naval stores six millions. Tiie un systematic and careles manner of tur pentine orcharding rapidly reduces the old forest growth, while tiie nn- antiuul firing surely but slowly des troys tiie future of this natural source of wealth. With wood pulp for paper and pine straw for bagging, tiie value of tiie pine tree will become trebled. The Waynesboro Citizen tells of a stock company organizing at Midville to make pine straw bagging after tiie manner of the model at tiie Exposi tion. Tiie future of tiie yellow pine is golden. From Tiie Edgefield Chronicle. We have observed from fhe pa|K?rs, within the last few days, that Moore & Siiuott have without resistance re covered judgment against our town for the sum of two thousand nine hundred and eighteen dollars and fif teen cents, besides costs. Moore & Sinnott were the holders of a certain number of the bonds of the town of Edgefield, issued in aid of the con struction of the Edgefield and Tren ton Railroad. We are further informed that tiie next step will be the issuance of a mandamus requiring the municipal authorities of tiie town to levy a tax sufficient to pay llie amount of tiie judgment. Therefore it strongly be hooves our people to try to make some arrangement by which so fatal a blow to our town may be palliated if not averted. We are inclined to suspect that the holders of tiie judgment would be willing to grant reasonable indulgence if tiie proper assurance were given of ultimate payment. But either one way or tiie other, the time has unquestionably come for decisive action. A Fortune tor a Horse. FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. USEFUL INFORMATION FOR THE FARMER AND HOUSEKEEPER. Tiie Derby winner, Ormonde, has been sold to an American for #85,000. Ormonde was bred by the Duke of Westminster, his late owner. He was sired by Bend Or, dam Lily Ag nes. He is a bay horse, very com pactly built, and about 6 years old. Ormonde won the 2,000 guineas in 1886, and became a very strong favor ite for the Derby, which he won by a length ami a half from Mr. R. Peck’s chestnut colt, the Bard, whose per formances as a two-year-old were phenomenal. Fred Archer rode tiie great horse in ail his races. The Duke of Westminster bought Doncaster a few years ago for €12,000, or almost #60,000, and tliis figure lias stood at tiie top notch until the sale of Or monde. Doncaster sired Bend Or and Beud Or sired Ormonde, so that in the end the Duke’s investment was a most profit a hi a one. Work lor the Mason Cotton Picker. From Tiie Sumter Watchman, Mr. Richardson, the millionaire Mississippi planter, was in Sumter last Thursday, and was the guest of Mr. C. T. Mason, Jr. Mr. Richardson is tiie biggest cotton planter in the world, and is very much interested in the success of the Mason Colton Har vester. and the object of his last visit to Sumter was to make arrangements to manufacture the Mason Cotton Picker at his own factories at Chatta- nooga, 'i enn. lITniH^rTe'l the ciUto picker and is much pleased with it. A French physician has been very successful in the treatment of con sumptive , because he lias adopted the common-sense plan of causing his patients to remain in tiie open air, night and day. Tiglit houses and close rooms are what kill people when tire lungs are tiie seat of disease. The army records show that thousands of consumptives were cured by roughing it from Bull Run to Appomattox. From Waterloo, la,, comes the news that for the fifth time the “Jones County Calf Case” is to be taken to tiie Supreme Court. Tliis case was begun in 1877 and the calves involved were valued at #45. Already the liti gation over the matter has cost plain tiffs and defendants #20,000, and thc- end is not yet. ' The Vermont Legislature lias re fused women tiie right to vote in mu nicipal elections, and consequently a number of women have sent in a peti tion declaring that “taxation without representation is tyranny,” and ask ing the removal of all taxes from property owned by women. One Fact Is worth a column of rhetoric, said an American statesman. It is a fact, es tablished by tiie testimony of thous ands of people, that Hood's Sarsapa rilla does cure scrofula, salt rheum and other diseases or affections arising from impure state or low condition of the blood. It also overcomes that tired feeling, creates a good appetite, and gives s'rength to every part of the system. Try it. Tiie practice of having night lights in children’s bedrooms is pronounced very injurious by a well known phy sician. Instead of allowing tiie optic nerves the perfect rest afforded hy darkness, tiie light keeps them in per petual stimulation, with the result of causing tiie brain and tiie rest of tiie nervous system to suffer.

Tiie compost mass should he kept sufficiently moist to promote fermentation ; cover it so as to protect it from tiie sun, and also secure it from tiie rains. 3. If you raise cotton to any extent, see to it. that all the seed, except those required for the next year’s planting, are returned to the soil by which they were produced. Avoid the folly of selling to tiie oil mills unless you are sufficiently near to substitute tiie cot ton seed meal or cake for the whole seed, and in such quantities us will give you the advantage in tin* ex change. 4. Turn over all tiie land in the fail which you intend to cultivate tiie fol lowing year, being careful to coverall the vegetable accumulations that ar*- on tiie surface. 5. Apply your compost and other fertilizers (if tlie| compost heaps are not sufficient) early in tiie year so that when I lie time for planting comes you rnay put in your seed with the as surance tiiat your land is possesseu of more than double tiie producing pow er of tiie last year, and you will he likely to realize a greater harvest from haM' the laud, half tiie labor and j half the expense involved in the pro duction of last y< ar’s crop. 6. Continue to increase the fertility of your land, Irom year to year, for five years, and at the end of this peri od you can estimate 3*our farm at #100 per acre, instead ot #5 or #10, which was its intrinsic and commercial val ue when you adopted as a rule of ac- ! tion “.Smaller fields and larger har vests.” You may also congratulate yourself that you have iucreased your harvests at much less labor and ex pense, having had abundant opportu nity to improve your buildings and pay greater attention to your dotnes- • tic animals, fowls, etc. We have been noting carefully all the evidence for and against silos ami ensilage and have become salisfUsl that they are valuable parts of a firm, equipment. They are constantly gaining ground in the dairy regioun of the North, and though less tried al. the South, the testimony is decidedly in tiieir favor. When first introduc ed in the United States it was eup|»os- ed the silo would have to be under ground. Pits, with cemented walla of brick, were ernsidered indispensa ble It is now well established th a they can be built of wood and ab iw the ground. Indeed, many liavo reached the conclusion that above .gnund silos are preferable to tlmso underground. It was originally mp- posed that the temperature under ground would be more favorable from its greater eooluess in warm weather. But opinion is now growing in favor of above ground silos, because lit.* walls an* dryer and the disposition ot the ensillage to mould on the out.-i«!o in less. For a like reason the woodeu silo is preferred to the brick—it is dry er. The objection to wood is tiiat it rots quickly in contact wiili damp en silage. To obviate, this it lias been suggested tiiat the inside lining l.o heavily coated with tar or pilvli to prevent absorption of moisture. I i building above the ground, eilli •.* posts may beset in the ground or sills laid on the surface and the limiso Iranied on them. The studding u. ed should be not less than six inches wide, eight inches would be belter. The studding should be uicely cover ed with tarred building paper, Iiotii inside and outside, before the planks are put on. The outside may l* > weather boarded or planks nailed on upright; tiie inside should be ccul.sl witli thick flooring, tongue and groove ed. This arrangement is practical 1/ air-tight, as much so as it can be made. The shape and dimensions of too silo are Important. It should be lojig, narrow and deep and divided into several compartments. Thus—32x3- xl2—feet would be a good convenient shape, or the height might be less, running down to eight feet. At tiie ends and in tiie dividing partitions, doors, in sections, say three of them one above the other, would add to Uio facility of taking out the ensilage when feeding it. Tiie stuff'shoul,I al ways be taken from tiie top, and, after it is taken down three or four feet, the upper section of door could U» removed and tiie remainder reu -he • witli less climbing. These sgctioti. of doors work'ln up and down'gr.«*iic*, so they can be lifted out. The •b*;« in having narrow silos iividc I itt.o small seetjons is that one section hm <r bo eihplieu before another is'distiu ti l and thus as little surface as pos. i,. lo exposed to the air, Ensilage jqi.-d« quite rapidly’ on exposure to a*«. When it is taken out by’ removing (ho top layer the surface exposed «Yi l come up with the next day’s , and thus will not be exposed 1. it;*; enough to spoil. We omitted to say that a root u.i.*t be built oyer the silo to exclude rat* . Some put a layer of straw on to; *.f tiie ensilage and stout planks on . Tarred paper should be put on the m.-r. set ot planks. The paper will be l tween the two. Silos are not expen sive. We are now having two ol them constructed—one underground u u i nine-inch brick wall, thoroughly o •• mented, and 16x8x12 feet; the oti.ii* above ground, as described above I . .•■ 8x9 feet The cost of tiie two w.L . ♦ #250.

You can put more in a silo than in a barn five times as large if filled wit.t •iry forage; tiiat is to say, silos ar.* much cheaper than barns. En-dl.igo may contain no more nutriment tli.i • dry forage, but it is ecriniuly n.oro relished by stock, and portions of plants (stalks) are eaten as ensilago which arc rejected when dried. How to Uki: Lemons.—A great deal lias been said about tiie healtlifuluoKS of lemons. Tiie latest advice is ho.\* to use lliein so that they will do'thu most good, as follows: “Most people know (lie benefit of lemon bef.ro breakfast, but few know tiiat it is more than doubled hy taking another at night also. The way to get tho better of tiie bilious system without blue pills or quinine is to t. ke tin* juice of one, two or three lemons, ns appetite craves, in as much water -i.-i is pleasant to drink without sugat be fore going to bed. In the morning, on rising, at least half an hour bel'oro breakfast, take the juice of one lemon in a goblet of water. Tliis will clear the system of buiuor and bile witli efficiency, without any of the wcak- | lilting effects of calomel or congress water. People should not irritate tha stomach by eating lemons clear; tho^ powerful acid of the juice, which U always most corrosive, invariably' produces iuflamHiulion after u while; but properly diluted, so it does u<>c burn or draw the throat, it does it4 medical work without hann, ami when the stomach is clear of food ha.-t abundant opportunity to work over the system thoroughly,” says a med ical authority. To Know Frehii Eggs.—Whoa held up to a strong light, a fresli eg4 is very clear, and the air eell at tlu* large end is very small. ThesinalieC the air cell the fresher the egg, as tins cell expands as the egg becomes stale. A fresh egg has a somewhat rougk shell, while that of a stale one i^reryr ' smooth. /■
