The Democratic Movement In this State. The Walhalla Courier makes the an? nexed tamely and practical remarks upon the situation, and places the movement for organization of, the Democratic party upon its proper basis: The present movement is more of a reformatory than a political one, though the clubs are called Democratic Clubs, as the popular mind must look to a change of rulers, as the only road to practical reform. We want every persbn>tobear] in mind that the prime object in view by these clubs is the union of all men, who desire the correction of abuses in the County, State and National governments, the reduction by law of fees and salaries, the abrogation of useless offices, and the election of men who will support me as urea looking to this end. We do not care whether a man has been a Republican or au independent Democrat in the past, if j he agrees with the objects in view, and will vote and act with us, let him join in this gzeat movement of the people. We want to see old line Democrats, Republi cans, Independents, white and colored men unite upon the plat form of practical reform, and vote together for men for County, State and National offices, who will carry out their views. We believe this cannot and will never be done by and through the. Republican party, for after years of power to do it, and after repeated promises, the lit tie reform which has been accomplished has been doled out only in measures to quiet the people. We want a thorough and effective reform in every department of the government and this in our judgment can only be had through a change of rulers generally. Tilden, the Democratic candidate for President of the United States, is the living embodiment of practical reform, and. under his administration every in? dustrial avocation in New York has and will put on new life.' -Taxes have been greatly reduced, the State debt dimin? ished, abuses corrected, and the people of every party are delighted with and enjoying the benefits of his administra? tion. We want to fee such men nomina? ted and elected in our State, and this j movement looks to that end. It merits the approval and support of all well wishers of the country, since, if success? ful, it will reflect its benefits on every man of every race and calling, except a few pampered office holders. It will re? vive business, improve trade,, and will g've a new impetus to the farming popu tion, in consuming less of their earn? ings in taxation and extravagant expen? ditures for useless purposes. No man can truthfully say the present movement is in favor of any man or set of men, or of any locality. It is emi? nently a movement of the people, and to be carried only by and through the peo Ele. The spur to the movement is the eavy taxation they have suffered, and, which they justly anticipate .in the fu? ture, unless there be some Change of J rulers, and the good is practical reform through a change of rulers. The excit? ing cause is sufficient to animate every person, and the object in view should' enlist all heartily in the work. As the convention has determined to adopt primary elections as the plan of | making nominations, no one can say there is any "'clique" or "ring" in the present movement Every man under this sys? tem is his own delegate, casts his own vote for the candidate of his choice, and if his candidate is defeated in the prima? ry election, he can then vote for the per? son nominated willingly, for the election shows his candidate was and would have been defeated at the regular election, and. in voting for the nominee he insures the election of a good man, without in any way injuring his friends. We do not doubt but many will attempt to fly-blow this or any other pkn of uniting the peo? ple, but we hope every voter will consider that some plan of union is necessary to continue our present desirable County government, and to improve the State government, and that under this plan fairly managed, no person can reasonably complain. Let every club seek to in? crease its membership during the next month, and our word for it we will have an organization of the people which for numbers and spirit has never had a para lel in this county. A. Snowing Cat?The Story that, a North Carolina Paper Tails. .-^ The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal of the 16th instant has the olio wing veracious narrative. ' Person doubting the truth of it, can be shown the cat, and if. that .is not sufficient, the car also. It says: "A friend tells us the story of a cat, every word of which can be unquestionably es? tablished by an abundance of the most reliable testimony. A part of the story our friend himself can vouch for. In 1872 a family of people, named Da van ts, moved to Columbia from Port Mills, situated oq the Columbia and Charlotte Railroad, 100 miles from Columbia. Previous to, and at the time of tho removal, the fami? ly owned an unusually large Maltese cat, which was the pet of each member of the household. The cat act only knew bis own name, but seemed to know the name of each! one of the family, of which he j probably considered himself an honored member. When the removal to Colom? bia was made, of course Tom went along, and seemed to enjoy the ride on the rail? way train beyond his limited powers of expression. He was first in the lap of mater familias, then on the knees of the j head of the family, then he would cross over to the seat occupied by bis young master or his young mistress, all .the while purring and curling his long tail, as much as to say, "Isn't this fine fun, this fast traveling, and wo all so snugly j seated in a warm car this cold December day ?" Arrived at Columbia, Tom went along with the rest of the family to the domicile, following readily when called to leave the car and take his place in the carriage, and when the carriage stopped in front of the new home Tom entered it along side of the first one who crossed the threshold, still purring and curling his tail in the estacy of his delight at the change which was being made and at the new scenes which it was then bis privi? lege for the time to behold. And thus Tom seemed contented and happy'in his new home for the space of ten days.? The only change noticed in his conduct was the fact that he was perhaps a trifle more affectionate in his manner to the rest of the household. But when ten days had passed by Tom was missing.? He could nowhere be fonnd. There was a vacant place in the family circle that caused heartfelt sorrow until a telegram was received from Fort Mills, bringing the intelligence that Tom bad returned to bis old haunts 100 miles away. He had taken passage on a freight train, and was safely back at Fort Mills, mourning the absence of the rest of the family.? Only one freight car is switched off at Fort Mills, and in this identical car Tom secreted himself before its departure from Columbia, and before it was locked up by the agent; so that when the car was un? locked on its arrival at Fort' Mills, out walked Tom, showing no evidence of his being ashamed at having stolen a ride on the train. But when Tom went to the depot at Columbia to take passage, how did he know which was precisely the car that was to be switched off at Fort Mills ? Of course, he must have noticed the di? rections on the packages of freight, and went with the freight that was marked Fort Mills. No other way could he have known." ? A great many persons take to them* selves a notion that they are first class writers for newspapers, when, really, they have not the firet qualifications; but they insist that their productions be published, and if the editor refuses they get vexed; and arrive at the conclusion that they, have no further use for his paper. Cotion-Onr Eing. In 1850 the Southern Statesproduced 3,622.720 bales of cotton; in I860,5,387, 052 bales, and in 1870, 3,011,996 bales ; or an average of 3,622,720 bales per an-, num. Estimating their annual value at $50 per bale, we find the average receipts from, the sales of this one Southern pro? duct were $181,136,000 pef annum, or for twenty years (1850 to 1870) $3.622,720, 000. What has become of this $3,622, 000,000? What, besides millions of acres of worn out land have we to show for it ? The production of cotton is steadily in? creasing, notwithstanding .the fact that the price for it scarcely covers bur pre*?? cut mode of producing it. At the present rate of increase in pro? duction, 1880 will find us with a produc? tion of 6,000,000 bales per annum. We may then safely estimate the aver? age crop, from 1870 to 1880 at 0,000,000 bales, per annum; or for :the" ten ' years,? 50,000,000 bales, which, at $50 per bale, makes the enormous amount or $2.500: 000,000. Two thousand five hundred million dollars in ten years from one crop alone 1 Judging from our present experience, 1880 will not find us in any better, if in as good a financial condition as we are to-day. The profits on this production of $2, 500,000.000 of new values will have been realized by others, not by us. The spinning of a bale of cotton into yarns doubles its value. If the cotton crop of if he Southern States from 1870 to 1880 were spun in the South, where it can be done cheaper than anywhere else in the world, the value to us would be $5.000,000,000, or an increase in value of $2,500,000,000, which we are now permitting others, with their superior enterprise, fovwrest from is. -|? g 5 I x ?f 58.1 I "_t If this avei^eincresscof: $2oT>,000,000 from the spinning of the crop, were re? tained in the South., how'long- before we would' becomO independent; raid our" financial condition .such as to command the respect of the .world f 1" i It is universally conceded that the South has uheqaated advantages; for the manufacture of cotton." This being true, what most the world think of our miserable do 1 icy which per raits others to monopolize the $250,000, 000 per annum f Truly cotton is our king, and we are his faithful subjects. He rules us through others, and they reap the pro fits. In 1870, Georgia produced 478,934. bales. Our production is slowly but1 steadily increasing, and the probabilities are that the crop of Georgia, from 1870 to 1880, a period of ten years, will aver-, age 500,000 Dales per annum.1 At $50 a bale the average annual value is $25,000, 000, or for ten years, $250,000,000. If Georgia were to spin , her crop,'its value would reach $50,000,000 per an? num, a yearly increase of $25,000,000, or for ten1 years' $250,000^00; an amount n early as great as her present valuation .. of both real and personal estate. The profits of cotton at the present day, are hot in its production,.T)ut Indui ? manufacture. Would it not be well for us to consider the subject in a business. light? ' : , r If it were possible* for the New Eng? land States to produce our cotton crop, would they permit us to spin it, and thereby' monopolise its profits of $25,* 000,000 per annum ??Atlanta Common? wealth. A Mean Device.?There were a score of women gathered together at Mr. John? son's house. Mr. Johnson is a good hearted man and a respectable citizen, though, he is rather skeptical about some, things: The women had just organized "The Foreign Benevolent Society " when Mr. Johnson entered the room. He was., at once appealed to donate a few dollars as. _a_foundation to_ work on, and Mrs. Graham added: j'Itrwould be fo-.pleasant ^in aftaryoars fpr you to remember that; you gave this' societv its first dollar and, its first kind word/' Q^AH TA^? * He slowly opened his wallet, drew but" a $10 bill, and, as the ladies smacked their lips and clapped their hands, he asked: "Is this society organized to aid,the poor.in foreign countries?" "Yes?yes?-yes 1" they chorused, -?^nd it wants money ft "Yes?yes P "Well, now," said .Johnson, as he fol? ded the bill in a tempting shape, "there are twenty married worn e n here. If there Sfifteen .of you who- can make oath t you "have combed your, children's hair this morning, washed the dishes, blacked the cook-stove, and- made the beds, I'll donate thi&IJfl" "I have," answered two ? of the crowd, and the rest said "Why now, Mr. Johnson I" "If fifteen of you can make oath that, your husbands are not wearing socks with fioles-ih the .^e^.this, money is yours," continued the wretch, "Just hear him!" they exclaimed, each one looking at the other. "If ten of you have.boys without holes in the knees of their pants, this 'X' goes, to the society!" said Johnson. "Such a man!" they whispered. "If. there are five pair of stockings in this room that don't need darning, I'll hand over the money I" he went on. "Mr. Johnson," said Mrs.' Graham, with great digmty, "the-rulet of this soci? ety dechre that no money aball be con? tributed except by members; and, as you are not a member, I beg that you will withdraw nnd let us proceed with the rontdh^husmessv-- Wcsfixagton ^Chronicle. Give the South all the Money it Needs.?We trust that the proper de? sire for economy now shown by Congress will not interfere with the appropriations for the South. We are in favor of giving the South all the money its people need. Let us give money to improve navigation, open harbors, build public buildings. Let as do what we can to stimulate special Southern industries?cotton, to? bacco, rice and sogar. Let us, if it is in the power of Congress, to make that rich and beautiful land to blossom with new life. In dealing with the South let us always remember the hard conditions of the war?the money we took when we freed the slaves, when we compelled a repudiation of her debts, when we seized cotton, when we ravaged the Valley of the Shenandoah and marched through Georgia And while these were all war measures?which we -should do again under the same necessity?let us remem? ber what a burden it was to the con? quered, and how it crushed, them to the earth. - Whenever, then, we can give the South money in appropriation bills, in shaping revenue or financial legislation, let us do so We should be quite content if for the next five years three-fourths of the money voted by Congress were to go into the Southern States alone. What? ever we do for economy let us give the South all the money she wants.?New York Herald. Wagon Freight Business in Mary? land.?According to the Baltimore Ga? zette, there vet continues to be a large trade brought into that city by wagons from Upper Maryland and Lower Penn? sylvania. From a series of facts gathered by our cotemporary, it is shown that the wagon trade, so far from declining under competition with railroads, has steadily increased. The old-fashioned six-horse wagons, with their picturesque high can? vass tops, and their drivers riding the wheel-horse, in a slow and measured gait, are still as much an institution as they were fifty years ago. The old inns, where the drivers used to "put up," which were then on the suburbs, are now in the heart of the city; yet they still keep "enter? tainment for man and beast, and in many cases the old signs still swing as in the fiy-gono age. r WHAT-H? Adlobed.?During a case which was tried before the late Justice Maule, of England, a witness, twice in the course both of examination and cross* examination, declared that there were odiy two things in the world he admired I ?women and horses. At the conclusion of the trial, the judge asked that the wit? ness who had made this statement should I be hrpBght beforeihim. ; n P/J* "I think sir," said the judge, 'Hh&t I understood you to say that in your opin ion there were only two things in the world worthy of your admiration?women and horses; is that so ?" "Yes, my lord, I said that, and I'm not I ashsjned to stick, to,iuL'{ ^ . ' ^ery well," said $0 judge, solemnly, j "^tfotrl will givVyouiVpiece of advice.? I When you go home, get an honest solici- I tor, if you can find one?I never could? f to make your will for you, and have a clause inserted instructing your executors to have your skin tanned after your I death, and have a lady's saddle made out of the leather." ' ' '? I *? I "But, my lord," exclaimed the amazed I witness, "what can?" "Don't you see ?" said his lordship, interrupting him ,* "why, them you will have the satisfaction of knowing that after you are dead, you will constantly be between the two objects of your admi-1 ration." A Mild Looking Deceiver.?He was a seedy-looking individual, says the Lou? isville Argus, and as he stood upon the { corner gazing wistfully at the disappear-1 jog form of a newsboy, .who had just picked up a good-sized stump and was. making off with the prize, there was a vague aspect of despair in his attitude which was very touching. Perhaps it -was. this which attracted the attention of a mild-looking party who was passing by, and perhaps it was something else, but however this may be, the mild-looking party stopped, and, gazing at the solitary figure, addressed it tnus: ts "Old man,-wouldn't yon like to have a drink this fronting?'' I "You;7e read me -as accurately as though my though ts wate) printed on an open page," replied the'solitary, taking ! Ma quid from bis mouth-and ? passing a diTapidated coataleeveoverhis lips! "I thought so," murmured the mild looking party, while a tear trickled down bis cheek; "bat conquer the desire.? Fight it as you would a legion of devils, for drink has ruined many a. man who had a more expansive forehead than ] you've got J" . And then the mild-looking party , con tinued on bis way, and the solitary gazed dreamily into space and communed with himself.' A Frightful Predicament.?Du? ring the great storm in Ohio a train of cars ran into a tunnel near North fiend, in which the water was so deep that it put out the fire in the locomotive, and over a hundred passengers were impris- I oned. Another train would be due, , in an hour, and it should get out of the tun? nel and reach a neighboring signal to pfeienjt'a^terribW The water wasvabdut fouryfeet/Meep, and running I swiftly. A young man, whose name is not given in the Cincinnati Times' account of the occurrence volunteered for the ex- I ploit. The total darkness increased the danger, and the distance was an eighth I of ax mile:, ^he young man removed, his boots and plunged in. The- current car ried him along, and he easily kept his head above water,' although. collisions against. the rocky aides of . the , tunnel nearly disabled him. but he made the passage and! stopped j the threatening train. In the meantime the' passengers in the tunnel were trembling with hope j and fear, and the suspense was not re? lieved until ^veiaThour^ "the water subsided, the fire in the locomotive was 8|-kindled,,.and, their journey ;was con- I nued.

This military intervention. is desifed by Chamberlain for two purposes, namely, to assist in carrying the election for the Republican State and National tickets in November, and to restore his populari? ty with the negro and carpet-bag politi? cians, who have become suspicious of his intrigues with Democrats. Troops were freely used by Grant to maintain Cham? berlain's thieving predecessors in power, and the writ ot habeas corpus was sus? pended in many different counties at a time when perfect quiet prevailed in them. But we don't believe that such a 3tyle of electioneering will prove advan? tageous, this year, to those employing it . '?fayr York Sun. All Sorts of Paragraphs.

The individual who called tight boots comfortable, defended his position by saying they made a man forget all his other miseries. ?An Aberdeen papa,' bent on ihstruct iflgilisaon, said, 'ufyou had three ap? ples and should give me one how many would you have left 1" "I wouldn't do it, pa," was the prompt reply. ? Many remedies have been suggested to prevent dogs, from sucking eggs, but as good a plan as any is to put something into an eggshell that will burn the dog's mouth, and in future he will have no taste for eggs br anything that locks like them-r; ? they have a curious way of deciding law suits in North Siam. Both'parties are put under cold water, and the one staying the longest wins the suit. In this country both parties are thrust into hot water and then kept there as long as possible. ? Some medical gentlemen recently addressed a communication to a minister well known for his wit, requesting him to preach a sermon to them. He replied that he would, and stated that he would take for his text: "In his disease Asa sought not to the Lord but to the physi? cians; and Asa slept with his fathers and died." ? A Virginia railroad was made to pay twenty-five dollars for killing a val? uable rooster. The engineer said he blew the whistle as kindly as possible; but when the rooster dropped one wing on the ground, raised bis eye heavenward, and commenced whetting bis spur on the rail, forbearance ceased to be a virtue, and he let drive into him with thirteen cars. ? A farmer states that he planted five rows of corn with seed taken from the cob three inches below the top of the ear, rejecting the imperfect grains at the ex* treme points; then five rows taken from the middle and base of the ear, rejecting the imperfect grains at the butt. The result was that the five rows planted from the middle and butt of the ear ripened about two and a half week? before the other rows, the corn of the former being better eared and filled to the end of the cob. ? Less than two years ago Samuel J., Tilden was elected Governor of New York. It was the year after the panic. The people felt poor and they demanded a reduction in the expenses of the gov? ernment. The taxes for 1874 were $16, 000,000. The taxes for 1876 are $8,000, 000. There is no humbug, no sham, no false pretences about that It is one of those solid, substantial facts which touch the pocket and influence the judgment of every citizen of every community in the State, for every man is a taxpayer. 1776. 1876.
