The Kepublican Admiuistrutioii ha.-s bad an overdose of Tanner, and this loud-mouthed Commissioner of Pen sions has been removed from office. But it must not be supposed for a mo ment that Mr. Harrison disapproved of the methods that Tanner has been pursuing to rob the treasury and get rid of a troublesome surplus. Tanner and the President suit each other ad mirabiy; but the latter was advised by the more far-sighted members of the Republican party, that the pen sion scandal could not go on longer without endangering the future of the party; and therefore (he President of the party has been forced to remove Tanner, but will doubtless provide for him elsewhere, where his actions can not have such an influence upon future voters. The fall elections are approaching, and sagacious Republi cans viewed with alarm the fact that the National debt has been steadily increasing since Mr. Harrison and his friend Mr. Tanner took charge of matters; and therefore for the welfare of “the partv M —the country is of no consequence—Mr. Tanner has been removed from his conspicuous posi tion. Protect i lie Game. The Hamburg Bridge. The foot and wagon bridge across the Savannah River at Hamburg is about completed, and will soon be thrown open to the public. Now the question of making it a toll or a free bridge will have to be settled by the Augusta City Council. The bridge is the property of the city of Augusta, and its Council has the undoubted legal right to make it toll bridge if it thinks proper; but the question is whether it would be wise to exact tolls. The bridge has been built by Augusta for the purpose of aflbrding South Carolina people facilities for visiting that city and trading with its merchants. Outside of this purpose the bridge is of com paratively little use to the Augusta people, and it would appear to be the wisest course foi the city of Augusta to make the bridge free, and afford every facility for our people to go across, and thus encourage as much frequent intercourse and trade as pos sible. The South Carolina farmer should not be made to pay a tax for the privilege ot visiting the Augusta people and selling his produce and buying their merchandise. Such a course on their part would not be good political economy. This matter |ias aroused a good deal of feeling in the western part of Ai ken County, particularly in the Beech Island section. The farmers there feel rightfully that they are impor tant contributors to the trade of Au gusta and deserve to be treated with a liberal and broad spirit. There are two ways of crossing the river—one by Sand Bar Ferry and the other by the Hamburg Bridge. The ferry is at times very unsatisfactory, and vexa tious delays are sometimes caused there, so much so that there has been some talk of endeavoring to build a bridge there in place of the ferry. It is not probable, however, that any such thing will be done, as, among other reasons, the vested interests of the proprietor of the ferry would pre vent it. But the talk on the subject indicates how deeply interested the people of that portion of the country are in the bridge question, and how much importance they attach to easy and free intercourse with Augusta. With such lights before them it would seem io us that the Augusta people would have .no hesitancy as to the course to be pursued. They will scarcely be willing to discourage trade with a neighboring State by imposing a tax on every farmer who wishes to go acros: Yet tectlonist’s idea of building up the trade of a people, and the logical re suit of the teachings of protectionist newspapers; and if we believed for a moment that the people of Augusta favored the protection policy, there I is on such a scale, as to merit more might be some reason to fear this log- than passing notice on account of its The sportsmen in some parts of the State are much agitated over the reckless shooting of birds at this sea son of the year. Thedaw allows the shooting of doves now, but it is strongly hinted that the gunners do not confine themselves strictly to these birds, but take whatever they may come across. The fact is, it is early in the season to allow any hunt ing at all. The young doves, while they can fly well enough, are not full grown and if they were protected a month longer there would be no dan ger of other game being surreptitious ly taken. It would be best for all con cerned if no shooting of any birds was permitted in the State before the 1st of October.

Ball for Murderers. Judge Wallace has recently takeu a new departure for himself, as well as the Judiciary of the State generally, in refusing the applications made to him for ball for two men imprisoned on charges of murder. This was for once a wise and wholesome determi- naiiou, and it was right and just. A man who kills another and is arrested under the charge of murder, should not be allowed to go at large on bail, unless the evidence is so manifestly in Im favor that there is little doubt of bis immediate acquittal by a jury. Anrt when a prisoner has been ar raigned in Court and the jury has failed to agree, be should be kept in jail until his trial again; for the fact ot the jury being unable to agree shows that there is not the strong ev idence, or reasonable presumption of innocence that would reasonably en title him to bail. The man who carries on his soul the blood of a human being should be re quired to submit to that much pun ishment, unless the killing was abso lutely and beyond question unavoid able; and however plausibly the lawyers may argue aud leniently the juries may view the cases, there are very few instances indeed in which the killings are unavoidable. The slayer has generally violated the law, and if he bus not committed actual murder has probably committed man slaughter. If all such slayers were refused hail and kept in jail until their trials, there would be much greater chance of their being pun ished for their offenses. When the manslayer has been out on bail, mingling on friendly terms with his neighbors, some of whom will perhaps be on the jury that will pass on his case, aud has been pursu ing his accustomed vocation for sev eral mouths, there is scarcely any chance of his being punished. We fear that much of the crime that so often disgraces our State springs indirectly from the leniency of our Judges in granting bail, and we believe that if it was firmly re fused, except in cases where there were the clearest evidences of inno cence, there would be fewer murders committed. The words “patent applied for” are Invalid as against infringements. Unless the patent has been actually granted, it is no good to the inventor. This Is a recent decision of the United States Court. important influence on the surround ing country. The oil mill embraces a seed ware house 300x80, au oil mill proper, brick three stories high, 60x80, engine and boiler house, and meal warehouse 150x80. Tha fertilizer factory has sulphur furnace and boiler house, acid chamber 40x250, grinding mill for phosphate rock, engine and boiler bouse, fertilizer warehouse 120x160. To this is added a ginnery of brick, three stories high, with capacity to clean 100 bales of cottou a day, the lint being baled on the premises by two steam compresses. The com pany has also a brick making plant with capacity of 30,000 bricks a day. Last but not least, w’ill be constructed cattle sheds, where 2,000 cattle will be fed aud fattened on cotton seed hulls aud meal. This is the kind of enterprise that has been spoken of, oa a small scale, for Aiken and it is one that will be productive of much benefit to the South. Our people are slowly learn ing to utilize what has either been wasted heretofore, or lias been work ed up to tlie advantage of otliers. How many hundreds of thousands of dol lars has teen sent out of the State to purchase the fertilizers with vvhich the cotton marketed by our farmers is raised; and how many thousands of tons of cotton seed have been al lowed to rot alongside of the gin- houses, or actually shipped out of the State to be utilized elsewhere! These same farmers are now begin ning to learn how valuable a com modity they have in their cotton seed aud that heretofore the buyers have been getting it at about a third or at best a half value. They are learning that this seed can be converted right at liome into a valuable oil; a rich ingredient of the best fertilizer; aud one of the most nutritious foods for cattle. Aiken is situated in oue of the best cotton regions of the State, cultivated by au unsually intelligent and thrifty set of farmers and there is no place at which a factory, similar to that at Charlotte, may he establishod to more ' advantage. But a factory of this kind would have to be located on a consid erable tract of land, of its own, at some distance from cultivated farms or residences, on account of the PADGETT’S To the -ffeaders R.
