E. B. MUKRA.YT KdTtor. THURSDAY MbRNiN0r^OV.~22, 1877. Motion: for new trials were made in the coses ot Cardozo and Smalls before Judge Townsend, and overruled by him. The Judge will file his reasons at length. Appeals were taken, and the prisoners have not yet been seutenced. Gen. Wm. G. LeDuc, thc new Com missioner of Agriculture for the United States, visited Columbia during the re cent Fair. He represented the ...dminis tratiou aa friendly to South Carolina and expressed a desire to serve our people whenever he could do so. Ho made a favorable impression upon those who met him. Col. John C. Haskell, n son-in-law of Governor Hampton, and a brother of Col . A. C. Haskell, of Columbia, who is a candidate for Associate Justice, has been nominated by the Democrats of Richland County for the position of Representative in the Legislature, to tako the [dace of C. S. Minort, who has resigned. He will certainly be elected. Thc citizens of Abbeville County, at thc suggestion of the Medium, are con sidering the propriety of calling a con vention of the Democratic party of that County to discuss thc public debt, and instruct their representatives thereon. Thc suggestion is a capital one, and might be profitable for this Couuty also. Wo believe in thc right of the people to instruct their representatives on all pub lic matters, and it is their duty to carry out Buch instructions. The payment of thc Radical debt as it stands ought to be thoroughly discussed, and as the tax payers are the parlies interested they ought to decide it ?br themselves. We are in favor of an carly call for a con vention for this purpose, and would like to hear thc views of others as to its pro priety. The State Fair Association will memo rialize thc Legislature of this State at its approaching session, for assistance by way of a State appropriation to aid the Association. We trust a moderate amount of aid will bo extended, for the State Fair possesses several features wor thy of encouragement. It advances the agricultural and mechanical interests oft the State and annually collects large numbers of our citizens at the capitol from all portions of South Carolina and thereby promotes a knowledge of the in dustries of the vurious sections of our State, and an acquaintance between our people which will, if encouraged, link us closer together in our views and actions upon public questions, and at the same time improve us socially and industrially, The public bodies and private individuals of South Carolina ought to strive to render our annual State Fairs a grand success. There is nc :ji:bject moro worthy of careful consideration than the encour agement and improvement of agriculture in South Carolina. This should not only engage tho attention of individuals and public spirited men, but tho Legislature should also think about, and legislate with a view to it. Our people havo an exhaustlcss amount of prosperity in their climate and soil which should bc utilized and enjoyed. Thc advancement of the interests of this occupation, which is by far tho most important to our pf opie, can be greatly furthered at this time, we be lieve, by tim expenditure of n moderate sum by thc State in tho way of bounties for the best production of tho vurious crops. This might bc easily, efficiently and cheaply done through the State Fair Association, and would both assist thc Fair and benefit tho fnnhers of our Stute. For instance, if a royalty of two or three tpindred dollars every year were oiTcred for thc largest yield and best quality of tea grown upon an aero of laud there is very little doubt that it would stimulate the introduction and cultivation of this crop, which can be mado a very profita ble growth with us. Ry a similar ofier the culture of indigo would bo revived and become the source of vast revenue in thc future as it has been in the past. Other new crops would be brought in, and our present ones greaily improved. Our system of agriculture would be greatly advanced, and thc expenditure of five or ten thousand dollars every year hythe Slate iu this way would pay back ten and in some casca a hundred times tho amount expended as a royalty. We Bould like to sec this subject dis cussed by our Legislature, and the sug gestion put into operation on a small scale, at least as an experiment. The Investigating Committee, consist ing of five members, tins been in session since thc last adjournment of the Legis lature, and has accomplished tho enor mous feat of securing the conviction of three public plunderers, who every per son believed to be guilty before tho in vestigation began. It is true that they have secured thc resignation of several Senators and Representatives, and also secured several thousand dollars from some of the culprits, but wc think- the people have cause to bc dissatisfied if they do not proceed further. For them to allow public thieves immunity for A portion of what they have stolen is not right in itself, and is not calculated to advance tho morality of the State. We cannot ace why an official rogue should bo any more tenderly dealt with than a private thief, und yet the law makes it a crime for any one to compound a felony for money, but the Committee has ab solved Nash from prosecution for six thousand dollars, and Jonis and Wood ruff for a larger sum, while all of these parties have fraudulently obtained from the State treasury many times as much ai they have returned to the State. Wc have ho desire to Bee t Jcse public robbers peKeentcd. Wo ar* corry for their crimea, but wc bclK?-.6.lhat justice should ^ - -bc '?u?parU?i, "and that the official thief who steals for tho purpose of riotous liv ing and pompous display, should be as severely punished as the humbler robber who takes to supply the cravings of his appetite or'to keep clothes upon his hotly. If theso roen aro guilty they should be punished. The acceptance of a portion ot their pilfcrings in satlsfac fc'.on of their crime is a mockery of jus tice and an insult to, our people. Sup pose the Courts should turo petty thieves Ililli i li I ijWIiMfata^KMMiYii? ni?w a mini II ?MI loose upon n return of n portion of tlie stolen property, would crime be lessened? Wc think not, and it :;C? ms to us that the exampie of nd easing official criminals tor a portion nf their stealings is not calcu lated to improve the public service. It may, how? vcr, be said that it was neces sary to make State witnesses of these parties. The reply is that some of the worst men have been selected as such witnesses, ami too many of them have been given this poulton. Moses, Wood ruff, Jones, Nash, Lee ami others that have, as it were, been pardoned of their Official sins, form quite a formidable array of the corruptionists. Another thing that is not understood by the peo ple is the persistent neglect or refusal of the Committee to summon the celebrated Timothy Hurley before them as a wit ness. This is very strange, indeed, as Hurley was one of the prominent lobby ists during the Hush days of Radicalism, and knows, i>> all probability, more of the rascalities of the times than any other man in South Carolina. It is rumored that Hurley defies the Committee, and threatens to tell on Democrats if he is examined. < 'au it be that the Commit tee are not making a full examination of the past corruptions? We have not thought they would spare any one, ami therefore are surprised at theil hee?ti?Con about getting Hurley's testimony. Il Democrats are connected with lite frauth of thc past they ought to be punished a. much as Republicans. The people ol the State have through their Representa lives appointed a committee to investi gute thc past transactions of men cou nectcd with public matters, and we wau no whitewashing. "Let no guilty mut escape" is the mandate of the tax-payer of South Carolina, and they mean il lit emily and in earnest. When this Com millee reports lo the Legislature, if it ha not fully carried out the investigation, i should be continued. We have writtei this not as a censure upon the Commit tee, but for the purpose of calling thei attention to the manner in which the in vestigation is viewed by some of th ptraight-uut Democrats, who have no ide of agreeing to anything except a thoi ough and completo execution of th promises made by the ??arty leaders i the last canvass. THE PUBLIC WEBT. The Legislature convenes on ne: Tuesday. The session will be one of til most important that has ever been he! in South Carolina, and we hope muden tion and patriotism will rule the condo of all Dem?crata, so that harmony nu prevail, and the public* interests be pro| orly cared for. The gravest questa which will como before the body is, b youd a doubt, the settlement of the ?ml lie debt, which requires the calmest ai most mature deliberation to prevent il adoption of extreme legislation either f or against. It is not yet known what tl financial committee will report, and uni that report is made any discussion of tli important subject will necessarily be i complete; but it should be kept befo the people that the persons who i ia ve ii fraudulent honda of the State are ci deavoring, with ii fuir prospect of succ?s to induce the Democratic party of Soul Carolina to accept as final the eonsolid tion net, which was passed by the Mos administration. This would fasten tl debt upon us irrevocably, ami therefo wo hope our legislators will be alow accede to such unreasonable demain No portion of the'debt created by tl Radicals should be paid, unless it w clearly created in good faith and expe ded for the public good. 1'ersonM wi bought the bonds issued by these pub! plunderers did so knowing ind well til they were giving their money to he sustain a thieving government, and we into it as a speculation f.,r their o\ profit, and nut for the good of thc peoj of South Carolina. Ry thus linki their fortunes with the notorious corm tion of thc infamous State governinc with which we were cursed they, throuj thc bonds they purchased, partook this corruption, and when it fall?, aa has done, into obloquy the portion of which they represent should also be < '(iterated, in other words, if they wi indiscreet enough to purchase bonds ll were issued by tho public plunderers their own gain am1 not for the ?mb necessities, they ought to stiiTer the ?a aity of their indiscretion. Justice quires that the consolidated bonds examined into, and that all which rep sent bonds issued and expended for t public necessities shall be paid, while that represent the indebtedness creal by thc ring for plunder shall be ignon Wc do not favor extremes. To repu ate all would be unjust, while to pay would be more unjust. Thc legitim: debt ought to bc paid, and that whick fraudulent should bc ignored. Thc tide of victory in tho Europe war seems still to flow in favor of the vading Rusvans. On last Saturday desperate assault was begun by the R sians under General LazerefT, and ' Grand Duke Michael, upon tho fortif city of Kara, in Asiatic Turkey, and al a day's desperate and bloody fighting, Sunday morning, the Turks either s rendered or fled, leaving tho Russians und'sputed possession. The flying Tu b'Ar.t utii.jn/iitnniiy captured and bro"1 back. The Russian forces nuinbe about 15,000 and thc Turks the same, i at the end of the fight thc casuali stood, Turks killed 6,000, captured 10,(1 Russians killed and wounded, 2,7 Thus it will be seen how complete Russian victory was.

The State Fair in Columbia last week WP- a ?ucees- beyond the most sanguine expectation ?if its most ardent friends. The exhibition was st good one in all the departments, and was particularly fine in the needle and fancy work and manufac turing departments. The attendance on Wednesday and Thursday was very large, and the proceedings of both those days were unusually interesting. On Wednesday the invited orators of the occasion spoke to about two thou sand people. Col. Thus. Taylor, the cx I'rtnident, introduced first Hon. H. P. Kimball, President of the Winnebago Illinois Agricultural Association, who delivered on? if the most polished and elegant orations that we have ever heard. ile was followed by the Southern favor ite, Hon. Z. B. Vance, Governor of North Carolina, who entertained his hearers with one of his inimitable ora tions, which evoked frequent bursts of applause from bis listeners. On Thursday thc competitive drill and review was thc attraction of the day, and convened an immense throng from every part of the Stale. At an carly hour the companies were formed on Main street under command of Brig. Gen. F. M. Bamberg, and marched to thc grounds, where they were dismissed until i 2 o'clock, when the con test *or the military prizes was begun. Thc judges in this contest were Lieut*. Cl. M. Bomford and .1. II. Baldwin, of thc i Eighteenth Infantry, L*. S. A., fl nd Lieut. Oranger Adams, of the Fifth Artillery, U. S. A. These gentlemen arranged a special programme which each company was required to adopt, and which in cluded the manual of arms and (he com pany drill in single rank. Fach of thc judges kept a separate record, and at the close of the contest made up bis average from his private notes. The averages of all three were then taken together, and again averaged, with the following result, three hundred being the maximum : Richland Volunteers, Columbia, man ual of arms, score '?4-1, on the drill, 242. Clark Light Infantry, Augusta, manual of arms, 27o ; drill, 200. Walker Light Guards, Richmond, Va., manual, 23fl ; drill 201. Governor's Guard, Columbia, manual, 200; drill, 292. Tho Governor's Guard having made the highest score, were awarded the first prize, open to the world, $400, and the second prize (local) $100. On Friday muming the contest for inc liest drilled company in the State, out side of Charleston ami Columbia, came oil'. Four companies competed : The Newberry Ri Iles, the Butler Riflemen from Hollges, the Lee Light I ti fal. try from Chester, ami the Ninety Six Utiles. The Butler's won thc prizo by a score of 212 out (d' a possible HOO. (Jen. John S. Preston delivered thc prizes, and Capt's. Thompson and McGhce received them for their respective companies. The next thing of interest was the shooting match, which was off-hand at a distance of 201) yards. Mr. Williams, of the German Fusiliers, of Charleston, was the HUcecssfu! competitor. Thia closed tho interesting portion of the State Fair, and every one who alten tk'd was delighted with the exhibition ami its management throughout. SMALLS' CASE. Congressman B. F. Butter, of Massa chusetts, alias Beast Butler, or ."-'poon lintier, ftc., introduced the following preamble and resolutions ii-, the House, nod it was unanimously adopted : "Whereas it appears from telegraphic statements in the public newspapers that Robert Smalls, a member of this House, was by the authorities of the Stnte of South Carolina arrested on the eve of starting to attend to bis duties as a mem ber of this House foran alleged otfence against the laws of the State of South Carolina, committed about four years ago, and before he was elected a member of this House, and held to answer by giving bail for bis appearance at tho proper court, and that thereafterwards said Smalls appeared at the bar of this House and took the prescribed oath and qualified himself as a member of this House and then returned to South Caro? lina to answer according to thu tenor of his (recognizance; .and whereas it fur ??icr .".pnenrs as aforesaid that said Smalls is t.ow* hold in close arrest in jail under the orders of thc State Court of ( anilina, s.) that he is hindered and pre vented from appearing in bis seat here to attend to his duties as a member of this House, and that ho is absent without leave of the House : Therefore, "Re it Resolved, That tho committee on thc judiciary be, and they are hereby, authorized and requested to examino into the parliamentary precedents iu Ruch cases, and report whether there ".as been any invasion of the rights and privileges ofthisllou.se; whether thc detention of said Smalls is legal and justifiable; and what, if any, action ought to be taken by the House under tho circumstances of this case, and report thereon forthwith ; and said committee arc further author ized to send for persons and papers, if in their judgment it be necessary to a full and complete investigation of the matter committed to them." Hail not this resolution been offered by the Republicans, the Democrats would liavej moved to expel Smalls, but the adoption of thc resolution gives them thc opportunity to investigate the case, which they arc now doing, having sent for tho Court record upon which he was con I victed. There is very little doubt that inc judiciary committee v ill report that the proceedings were regular, and tho 1 eli ir..-.. \t'<W USIdt Q I n?~W1 K.' tflA ALMflriMPA with a recommendation that Smalls bo expelled from the House, after which South Carolina will be entitled to one more representative in Congress. If the Senate is willing to encourage bribery by retaining Patterson, it is not probable that thc House will countenance it by associating with Smalls. FRAUD IN POLITICS. A Strong Letter from C hur?es Francln Adama. Tho Hon. Charles Francis Adams has written, under date of November 5, a let ter to Lieuteount-Oovernor Dorshoimer, of New York, in which he says : 'Tho moral effect upon "tho public mind of success in elections through the agency of fraud, as exemplified in thc last election, ought to be counteracted with the greatest vigor, or else both aides will be sure to concentrate all their pow ers upon tho art of cheating as tho great instrument for triumph. It does no credit to the Republican party that it has not instituted an honest investigation of tho facts of tho case last year. Their shunning allusion to thc matter betrays their souse of its truth. Yot there appears to bo a languid movement toward an amendment of thc I Constitution, o* if that was all that was necessary to reinstate matters. If the earnest spirit he wanting, no good can come out of any artificial device, The question in, Shall fraud be justified by success ? Tiie Republicans now stand upon that ground, it seems to me to be thc duty of all honest men to counteract this tendency hy upholding the great maxim of law as well ns of morals, that fraud spoils everything that it touches. I trust that as time passes, the impor tance of this question will be more ap preciated. To me it is of little moment, as mailers nt this sort rarelv move so rapidly as the generations of tlie race ex perience ? hange. You are younger ami can hope to do more useful work than yours, very truly, C. F. ADAMS.

SMITH, Grand Scribe. All papers friendly to the cause please publish. " Washington News and Gossip. WASHINGTON, NOV. 13. Tiie Senate Democrats had a caucus this afternoon. Thc business brought before the caucus was in reference to the cases of the South Carolina and Louis iana Senators. It was said that some thing 'jht to be determined upon to defeat, if possible, tho apparently de termined purpose of the Republicans to delay action on thc Senatorial cases to the iast moment. Messrs. Spott'ord. Eustis and Butler ull unite in askimrthat their cases oe settled, OM they say they do not think it just to keep them in a con dition of suspense and uncertainty. Thc Democratic Senators concur in this opin ion, and several suggestions were made in tho caucus as to means which might be adopted to hasten action. Il a _ ad mitted, however, that the Republicans, being in tho majority, bad it in their power, if they saw tit to exercise it, to control the disposition of the cases. The Democrats may exercise seme influence and at any rate will put themselves right before tho country by making n formal demand that no unnecessary delay be in terposed. No positive conclusion was reached as to any line of action. Allusion has been made in some quar ters to a report on South Carolina uflairs which the Senate, commiueee sent to that Stato last winter propose to make. From inquiries made to-day it is deduced thnt this report will be mr.de only in a certain contingency, namely, if thc case of Mr. Buller, of South f karolina, is brought be fore the Senate for action. The report is understood to bo already drawn up, but not signed. It is devoted to a considera ble extent to the Hamburg massacio affair and tho alleged participation of Mr. Butler therewith. Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, who was tho chairman of the committee, said in response to inquiries to-day, that in his opinion Mr. Butler first went to Hamburg professionally, hq' that lil? after Action made lum res*Mjn*i hie for much of the blood that wa- ?lied. He said that it might nol hart been thought necessary lo discus Mr 'sutler, in this connection, had be not alluded to the subject himself in his own 'uriel filed before th?- Committee on Privileges and Elections. WABHIXUTON, NOV. 1?. A caucus of the Republican Senators was held ut the capitol this afternoon. There was a full attendance, a? the pro eee'lings were expected to he ?d' uncom mon interest and imp?rtame. Mr. Ed mund? and the vari.?us ??tiler Senator? w ho waited upon the President last i Tuesday evening to acquaint him with j the general tenor ami spirit of the coin- i menin expressed by thc majority of the Republican Senators in the last cam us concerning his civil service policy, etc., gave to tin- c im us t??-?lay a verbal ac count <?f what occurred ai that inter view. They reported that the President, I in response to their statements of the widespread uneasiness and dissatisfaction which lia?! been created among his party friends by his appointments of Demo crats to Southern offices, etc., liad arg?id that his policy in this regan! was not prejudicial to the interest of the Repub lican party, ami certainly was not adopted by him from any want of earn est desire for the perpetuation and main tenance ?d' Republican power ami prin ciples, tb) the contrary, it was his ex pectation and belief that the pursuance ?d'this policy would promote a coalition of the old Whig ami various other ele ments naturally opposed to the Demo cratic party in the South, and eventually secure six"or eight Southern States for the Republicans." All the Senators who were present at the interview expressed themselves . . the caucus as being con vinced that the President was thoroughly sincere in this belief. They also reported that the President said he wa? very desir ous to be in harmony with the leaders of the party, and was grateful to have had the opportunity of ascertaining thus defi nitely and clearly the views which had been expressed in the caucus. Advice ami candid criticism would be welcome to bim, and in closing he said he boped and believe?l that there would be less cause for coi.iplaint in the future, and in any event, if mere should be differences of opinion, there need be no occasion for ill feeling, and he trusted there would be none. After the reports, of which the forego ing statement is a correct though brief summary, had been made to the caucus, a fice discussion ensued as to the propri ety and probable effects of the President's policy in ease it should be acquiesced in liv the Senate. The interchange of views developed an almost unanimous opinion that the policy of appointing Democrats to office in the South is not wise or sound, and even those Senators who are most distinctively known as "friends of the administration" expressed doubts whether its pursuance would have the elfect of which the President is sanguine. No action was taken by the caucus to-day, an?! iinnp was ?Toposed. Nothing wa:; sahl about the New York Custom House appointments, nor was there any discus sion of the contested Senatorial election crimes for Louisiana and South Carolina. The questions involved in these coutests for seats in the Senate seem to be gener ally considered as purely judicial in their nature, and, therefore, outside of the control of the caucus. Gramge Column. tinier tho NiipervlHlon of tho Kxectit I vc Committee of Foinoiuk (j ru?se. TO !)EL!>:qUE>, f GRANU ES. Again, brother Patrons, it becomes thc duty ot the Secretary of your Pomona (.'range to give you a punch by way of reminder. The third quarter is "gone glimmering among the tilings that were," and some of you have not recognized your Secretary by the kindly presenta tion of your periodical communication. About one-fourth of the Granges of An derson County have ma<Je returns for.the third quarter of the present year. As many more will, perhaps, gel their r?_ Eorts into the hands of the Secretary efore his report is closed. That report is legally due within ten days after the expiration of the quarter, but it is some times delayed to allow full time for tardy Granges to come in and place themselves "square on the books," and consequently "square" in the estimation cf ail true Put rons. Masters and Secretaries of Subordinate Granges, have you not solemnly pledged yourselves to your brethren, by your in stallation vows, that you would faithfully perform the duties imposed on you by the rules and regulations of the Nationiii and State Granges? and do you not re cognize a violation of those vows in neg lectiug to make the regular quarterly re turns for your Grange? Are you pre serving inviolate those obligations volun tarily taken upon yourselves in behalf of your Grange; when, by your negligence or omission, your Orango has been pub lished as a defaulter, and her fair stand ing among Patrons has been lowered instead of elevated, and her number is rend out on the list of delinquents for two or more quarter? ? Are you surprised to see your Grange feeble, inefficient and dwindling away? Are you astonished that your members are careless, luke warm and drowsy, under the spasmodic efforts of their ollicers, when they would rouse them up to duty and to honor? If your Grange does not occupy such a po sition among the brotherhood as would excite your pride to be recognized as her officer, it would be well to look around and endeavor to find whete the fault lies, We have read an appeal by the Secre tary of the Georgia State Grange to Patrons in his jurisdiction, and we com mend it to the careful perusal of thc Patrons of Anderson County as an am plification ci our remarks, on this sub ject: "Fellow-Patrons, you cannot afford to let your Order become a thing of the past. We admit her decline. As watch men upon your walls wc feel it due to honesty-due to yourselves-due to the gpod of the cause to sound tho alarm. The heritage of usefulness already bo ?ueathed to you is too precious to reject, "he influence for good exerted by thc Grange has been felt from the humblest cottage to the halls of Congress.

"Let us with fraternal remonstrance thunder in your ears and inspire your minds and hearts with the one thing needed. To do this seems to be the work of repetition, for it is blazoned all over the very corner ?tones of your temple. It is traced in characters of burning light upon the folds of your banner.

It has been said of US by Wall street gambling and bigotry that 'any cause demanding of farmers concert nf action and the outlay of one dollar each would die out in l?as than twelve months.'

WHEAT. M. W. Johnson, near .' llanta, has made an experimental trial ?d' thirty-two varieties of wheat ?luring the pitstseason, and gives bis opinion in favor ol'the fol lowing variety's, as best adapted to that locality, vi/.: Hill Dallas, Fultz, Tappa hanuock, Red May and Waite May. Of these thc first named lie considers the surest and largest crop, being rust proof. The damson is a large variety of wheat, ami is highly prized by Northern far mers, but li?' thinks it is too late to risk in that climate We have an undevel oped theory that wheat crops would prove much more profitable in our cli mate if thc seed were procured from some distant locality, where the season in which it is matured would be a little shorter than our wheat season. Such a change of climate would have a tendency to mature the grain a little earlier here, and possibly escape the rust, which often proves so fatal t?i ?mr wheat crops. The rust being the chief hindrance to our average wheat crops in this country, if any measure could be adopted to over come the difficulty we will lune made a favorable step forward, lt should be brought from such a locality, North or South, as will give us the improvement desired. If brought from too far North, it comes in later than the native grown seed; if too lar South it would come in too early and be killed by the late frosts. I have been told by a Tennessee farmer that the farmers near Knoxville have ..?..ji ;?-lv:;>r- and found it worked well. They shipped their seed from Abingdon, Va., and always realized surer crops, better yield ami tiller grain, and that it was becoming a habit ot their far mers to ship their.seed wheat from that or some other section likely to secure thc desired improvement. We are sure this is a matter, at least, worthy the attention of our wheat growers. Perhaps the Hill Dallas, rust proof, might suit our section, soil and climate. We have thrown out theie crude observations on a very im portant subject more for the purpose of arresting the attention of farmers than as a recommendation for adoption. Capt. J. C Neville, of Ocunee County, S. C., made otic hundred and ten bushels of corn from one acre of land, without . i.? noa of This exhibits thc capacity of the T?galo bottoms. If any fanner of Anderson County have meas ured crop productions per acre for the present year, we think they should be reported and published for the encour agement of others. - Gen.
