JOHN B. MOORE, First Vice Chairman. E. B. MURRAY, Secretary. President and Mrs. Hayes celobrated their silver wedding in the White Hoi^o at V/'fishi^g'vG'a cu thc 31st of December last. .The President declined io receive any presents on that occasion, and in that respect made a decided improvement upon tho example cet him upon numer ous occasions by his predecessor, tho ava ricious UlyBcs. Tho committee on coinage, weights and measures, of which Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, is chairman, arc considering the propriety of providing for a now coin - to bo known ns the Goloid coin, which wlii be composed of gold and some baser metal in such proportions as to make ibo Goloid dollar about tho size of tho pres ent silver half dollar-the Goloid half dollar about the size of the silver quarter, and the Goloid quarter a little larger than the silver ton cent piece. It will bo a pretty coln, and of course every one will bo aa anxious to bundle lt as they now are for tho little gold dollar. It is announced from the National Capitol that for the future the Democrat ic party will vot? solidly with the Presi dent, and against Cbnkllng, in the Sen ate. They will , vote to confirm all the President's appointments, unless lt bo in special cases. This action, if true, is of very doubtful propriety, as wo believe the President ls aa bud a man as Conk ling. The Senators had bette have an nounced tb'ftt they would vote with Hayes when he was tight and with Conkling when ho waa right. It would .have put both p?reles on their good be havior, and would probably have exerted n rn:>.eh better influence. It is said that the Russian government will try Osman Pasha, the Turkish com mander in Plevna, during the sie?o, be fore a military commission, upon ocharge of inhuman cruelty to prisoners. Senti ment in : Europe is very much divided upon the propriety of this proceeding, and ls formed very generally according to the sympathy of each person upon the merits of tho war. There is no doubt that tb? Russian prisoners were subjected to turri blo privations during the siege, and also that many of them were mercilessly mur dered by the Turks, but it is also true that the Turks themselves euffcrcd immensely from want and starvation during this, period. Of course flecevsity will fee the plea of Osman Pasha If he ja arraigned for these cruelties, but tho civilized world would be benefitted by making an exam ple of him if the charges are truo, to teach all who would Uko to become hu man butchers that war will not excuso the unnecessary taking of human Ufo, or tho wanton destruction of private proper-; ty. Tho evils of combat aro great enough when properly restrained,rand whoever seeks ts **?gmimt thna?, attila Ls an enemy of mankind, mid deserveo s*> die the felon's death.

THE BLUE KSDUE RAILROAD, .rfc* ?jro?m of the statesmen cf Sent?; Carolin? for year*- past han b*?r> a direct connection between our sea cot.it and the Great West by u g-.cat national highway for freights sud passengers, which would immensely improve our commercial busi ness, besides opening up to us moro ad vantageous markets in which to buy the articles we consume and to sell the pro ductions wc raise fui' market. In this direction quantities of thought, labor and money has been expended, and our whole State was at one time so much enthused upon the subject that our Legislature and the city of Charleston united in the appropriation of public money fer the completion of this great desideratum of | all classes of our citizens, and, after care ful consideration of all the advantages and disadvantages of the various lines of j crossing the mountains, selected the route known as the Blue Bidge Railroad, from this place by way of Babun Gap to Knoxville, Tennessee, as the moat desira ble possible location, after which vor lr to tho amount of millions of dollars was expended upon tho line, and the road actually put into operation as far as Walhalla. But for the late war, with its disasters and tbe evils which followed in itsewake, tho Hoad would have been com pleted long before this, and the South would have been the neighbor of tho West in point of timo and trade as well as in geographical position. The harpies of Republicanism, however, swept away with their foul hands all that was left of this Boad, uuu thereby disheartened its friends, and, for a time, dissipated all hope of its construction. But now that wc once more have the government in our possession, we hope the interest of | our people will again return to this im portant public work, and that our Legis lature will take some action to revive the building of tli? Road. It is one which will benefit all portions of the State, and make Charleston one of ino must flour ishing and important ports south of New York. * Every ono who wishes to contribute to the commerce of South Cnrolina should advocate the building ef the Blue Ridgo Railroad, and we believe the Legislature of the State should leid it a helping hand. It may bo objected that tho State baa already lotit heuvily in thin road, but instead of thia being an argument against further expense, it* is a reason why tho Stato should seo it completed. We have spent too much money on it not to get any return, und it would bc decidedly a better investment to comp?ete it than to lose what has been expended judiciously upon tfio road. Wo know the State ia : poor, but wu can do something to keep this road alive. If nothing moro, the State could well afford to put the convict labor to work upon it, and in the coureo of a year or two wo will be in a condition to appropriate annually small sums to extending tho leugth of the lino, so that in a few years wo would havo the whole line built without imposing any serious burdon. If wo take hold of it as a Stato enterprise there would be a fair prospect of securing help from outside, and tho road could be built beyond a doubt We hope when tho Legislature reassembles that Charleston and the up-country will shake hands over their common interest, and mature a plan for reviving this grand enterprise. What do our Charleston conioi?fK-vaiics, the Neva and Courier. and Journal af Cbmmerce, think of this question? and how aro our other ex changes disposed towards it? . "**.**"? Senator Patterson has recovered to a considerable extent from his recent at iac* of nervous prostration, but will o? unable to attend tho Senate during tho remainder of the session, on account of hiu feeblo health, it is said that ho will be absent from his scat without getting a pair with a Democratic Senator, which will leave the Republicans only a majori ty of one in the Senate without counting tho vote of Senator Davis, who in an in dependent, and generally votes with th? Democrats. In addition to this calamity which threatens the Republicans in the Senate, it is said that Senator Patterson !s seriously contemplating the question of resigning his Senatorship and reme ring his citizenship from South Carolina back to Pennsylvania, with a view of running for Congress from that State iu 18S0. Ex-Senator Simon Cameron has invited Patterson to visit him, and promises if he ?will settle in his district to uso all of his Influence to secure tho Republican nom ination for him. Cameron's influence has alv/nya been equivalent to a nomination and n nomination has heretofore been ?quivalent to an election, and hence Pat terson thinks tho obance of becoming a DoR^Rwii??? fiom Pennsylvania is better than his chanco to secure further honors [n thia State, and hence ho is likely to bid us adieu, aud thereby enablo the Democrats to elect cnether Senator which would make parties even in tho Senate. The' Republicans are very uneasy about diese rejsnrls, and it is claimed that there la some fondation for them. We do not irish Pennsylvania any harm, but it would io a great* relief tous if she would reclaim ho carnet-bag Patterson. The proposition to re-establish tho in ?orne tax aa the mode for raising nation il revenue comes from tho South and vVest, whore the present system of In gleden, by compelling those sections to [>ay more than their just proportion of he burden of supporting the general government. Tho taxes for the year 1875 are taken os tho basis of comparison letween the sections, and the operations it the present system may bo gathered Vom the figures of that year. The whole .e7cnue from internal taxes that year isa. ?. fO??d r.sr?bv7S $105,000,000. Of his amount the Northeastern States Kaine, Now Hampshire, Vermont, Mea lachusetia, Rhode Island and Connect! . ?ut-paid only $4,000,000, while accord ?J? in population t*?fty should havtj mid $,250,000, and according to wealth abont ?15,000,000. Tho Middle States-New fort, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and ^aware-paid $24,000,000,. white ao ?ord?ng io population il?iy should have >aid about the same sum, aud according o wealth it would have been $85,500,000. !?ow tho Northwestern States and Terri ?tico-Ohio, Indians, Illinois, Michi ;an, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Ran as. Nebraska, Montana, Dakotan, Col : irado. Aric?ha. Idaho. Utah and Wyo to population their proportion would only have been $39,333,833, and accord ing to wealth only ?^,000,000. Tho Southern Middle Suites-Maryland, Vir ginia, Weat Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky and Missouri- -paid $26,000, OOO, while in proportion to population it ought to hare been only $17,760,000, mid to wealth only $11,600,000. The other Southern Statea-South Carolina, Geor gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas-paid about $24, 000,000, while in proportion to popula tion it shnuld have been only $15,000, 000, "nd to wealth only about $9,000,000. The Pacific States and Territories Washington, Oregon, Nevada. California and New Mexico, p'aid $3,000,000, while in proportion to population it would L?fe been $2,000,000, but in proportion to wealth $2,500,000. Thus it will be seen that there is no equality in the present arrangement, and its change would bo of very general advantage to all except the Northeastern and Middle States. If the income exempt from taxation bo fixed at two or three thousand dollars, the tax would fall beuviest upon the States which now pay tho least. They are, however, the best able to pay the government taxed, Hud would only pay upon what they receive. It would be decidedly more equitable than thu manner now employed to raise a national revenue. Tlu Republicans in the House of Rep resentatives, under thu lead of ileast But ler, aro contemplating the appointment of a committee to investigate the lust Presidential election, and, strange to say, tho Democrats, in a great many in stances, aro opposed to having the inves tigation. Their policy bas been misera bly weale und cringing, aud will proba ,bly result in favor of the Republican?, for, although they have been robbed of the Presidency, they aro upholding the fraudulent President, sud trying to, con ceal thc larceny whilo the Republican? ure moving to expose it. If thc Repub licans can .:<;<. ure an investigation under their lead, and they aro hold enough tc expose the rascalities of tho Presi dential count, it will retire a number of their lenders from public life, but their party will get credit before the people foi purifying itself, while the Democrats will be charged with n connivance at the fraud and an effort tu conceal thc fact that thej have been robbed. Tho Democrats ic Congress ought to investigate all tho facti connected with the last Presidential elec tion, and mercilessly expose the whole o its iniquity. Tho Republicans under the lead o Senator Cameron of Wisconsin aro en deavoring to get possession of the evi dence ngainut Patterson to hold it c <c him as a threat to mako him vote tc- Jo clare Gen. Butler's sent vacant. We hop? our Legislature will Bend this documon to the Senate in the form of a requeot fo Patterson's removal. If it should tak this shape tho Senato would pretty ccr tatuly be obliged td expel Patterson fo the Bake of its reputation before tho coun try, and then wo would have two Derne eratic Senators from South Carolina in stead nf one.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5,1878. An impression enema to exist that Poa master General Koy and First Assistai Postmaster General Tyner are (ov/ir probably te tht Iv anon. dons relations tho appointing power being practical divided between them) somewhat jealoi of each other; but, I am diapered think, from observation and inquiry, th stich is not the casu. Tho employees tko Department aro of tho opinion tb t JO most friendly feeling exists betwei tho Postmaster General and the Fii Assistant, who was so recently a Cabin Minister. Tho officials of the Postoffi Department, Republicans as they ai warmly approve Judge Key's adminst; tion ; and, on the other hand, tho Poi master General, in bb recent annual i port, spoke of tho ability, honesty, fide ty and excellence, characterising t management of postal afluir? by & Tyner and those associated with hi: The First Assistant Postmaster Genen who was years ago a clerk in tue Depa mont, and has since been chairman tho Postal Committee iu Congress, n later Postmaster General-has bad rt opportunities to become a main ted wi all tbo minuto details as well ss tho co prehonsivo relations of the gigantic s tem, and lt is doubtful if any man in t country understands the machinery well as Mr. Tyner. It is a little ?QUiarkabie that two m of such positive character ?a Judge K and Mr. Tyner, and so antithetical politics, education and personal tra] Bhould both "pursue tao even tenor tlvnl? .ri?)" In tlifl ni al tnr nf *>nrvm menta, without conflict with each oth or confusion in tho Posts! service. I tho huge gudgeons of the Postal machi have been lubricated with the olive of conciliation and reform, while th two gentlemen work together as han; niously os would Damon and Pyth! Judge Key, in deference perhaps t< supposed Republican sent'ment in Kfnrth. ?rdea-atea certain powers to ] Tyner in the matter of appointment* that section ; but he takes upon his c shoulders the heavy and complica work of.thn Department, and with n: teni of petty detail, or vast compreh sion, seems equally At home. The Postofflco Department is still, default cf a few round millions, far si of the paying institution that waa f ideal of tho late Postmaster Gen* Jewell. Tho excess of expenditures c receipts during tho last fiscal year ? nearly fire millions-($4,854,160. ThV following are the principal cai that contribute to tho defe-it: let. ' adoption of postal cards th.".1- esj messages to bo transmits J through mails at ono cent, instead of ntlhreo, Amount of postage formerly charged for all written communications; 2nd. The present mode of compensating postmas ters at offices of the 4th class. Fewim** tera at offices of this class (psylug less than $1000 a year) are paid by com mi' - sion? on their sales of postage stamps, while postmasters at larger offices are pajd fixed salaries, and the proceeds from sales of stamps at those offices be long exclusively to the Department. The result ia '-hat postmasters of offices of tho 4th class, who are usually retail country store-keepers, instead of limiting their Kile of stamps to persons within tho delivery of their respective offices, not unfrequently carry on ma extensive traffic in stamps with wholesale* mer chants in the larger citie.\ thereby in creasing, to an undue extent, their own compensation, and greatly diminishing tho revenues of the Department. To remedy this defect, Postmaster General Key recommends the enactment of a law which will require the compensation of postmasters at offices of tbe 4th class to bo based upon the slumps cancelled at their respective offices, instead of, os at present, giving them a percentage of the proceeds of their Rales of stamps. A third source of loss to the Depart ment is the dishonest re-use of postage stamps that have not been effectively cancelled. It is estimated by competent postoffice officials that the government loses n million of donara auuuully from this source alone, millions of stamps be ing so imperfectly cancelled,that a little Hoap and water will remove the ink from them. A great many novel devices have been resorted to, or have rather been ex perimented with, to guard against tbit fraud, but to no successful issue. Judge Key bas the matter now under advise ment, and he will shnrdy publish an order changing the appearance of thc one, two and three cent stamps, with r view to tbe protection, in a measure al least, of the revenues of the Department Foreign governments have but litth trouble from this last named sou reo '} bul their postage stamps aro far inferior tc ours in strength of material, os well os ir hardness ana beauty of finish. If wi should adopt the iight, flimsy stamp o Denmark or of Prussia, it is safe to sa] that not one in ten thousand could bi washed to look as good as new, but thc] would be very unpopular with business men and the public generally, and thi number that would tear or become do faced in process of affixing to the en velope would bo as large perhaps as tin number that aro. now renovated aftc they have been once used. Tho tendency of legislation nffectinj tho Postoffice Department lias beon t cheapen the rate of postage, while at th same time the establishment of new post offices,.in remote places, in many of th States, especially in Texas, has adde enormously to the expense ot transport i?g the trail". These arc the principe reasons why tho Postoffica Department which is more intimately connected wit the wants of tho people than any D( partaient of tho government, is not a sell sustaining institution.

We have seen that retention is of pan mouul importance to successful farmirj -the very tine qua non-the indispensi ble condition-without which there ca be no advancement. Then the inquii arises how may displacement of soil 1 most effectually prevented? Our rep! is by adopting the methods employed t nature in preserving and enriching, we will accept her instructions, give without price, in simplest language, 1 forest, field, everywhere, os the sui and safe plan, we shall not fail. Let tl suggestions she makes in the turft th catches on the side, or in the gully, ees ing itself firmly, resists the currant, sto; tho drift, levies contributions from tl rain, gains the mastery at last, and star out with a vigorous life, tench a profit ble lesson. See the young tree slow rising from a barren soil, struggling f existence-, but Bonding its roots out search of food, holds the earth fast t gether, and by its annual shedding, fe tilixing itself, begins a career of at roi and rapid growth. Here are demonatr ted the powers of retention, pr?serv?t? and utilization. Cut now the roots, destroy tho life, ba the earth, and every hasty shower w carry its quota down the d?cents to place of deposit near by, or farther awa as the case may be. So, when we ha subdued the forest and destroyed t! sinews of cohesion, wo must supp others, and these are the roots of tl Btnail groins and grasses. Hence, o theory la, the largest possible area in tl uncultivated, the smallest practicable the clean or cultivated crops. Wh proportion can profitably be seeded dov is in some degree owing to the cundill and character of tho soil, and the c cumst?ncea of the owner. There is < versity of opinion upon this subject, ai perhaps absolute rule cannot bo ls down upon it. But I venture to suggi that when lands are in good tilth a productive, once in three yeera is oft enough, if tho aim is to avoid exhai tion. In* tho instances (and theoe i many) where the lands of a fr. m are r and worn, clean cropping ouce in fi 7ears is sufficiently frequent. This m appear to most farmers too long to w: for returns. My reply is, that whi looks only to subserve present emergent and embraces not future advantage, a carries .lot with it the idea of permnnc sy? is at best but an expedient, and r worth the trial. Besides, tfitore will no waiting for results, for ie ia ban possible that a hand and horse cultivi lng one-fifth lands in clean crops a four-fifths in grasses . and small gn would fail to support themselves a make a handsome income for the own Allowing fifteen acres for cultivate sach ono-horae farm would consist seventy-five acres. And althongh af preparation a good horse or mule T pass over twice this amount of land t inently enough, ibo hauling in of I miall grain and hay, the plowing in peas, turning of stubble, ?Sc, will kc time fully engaged. One principal figure of this age ivory department of industry, is I .aving of labor. The heaviest expen lure to tho farmer in the production jrops ls the cost of the labor required produce them. Now we maintain tl the system of rotation indicated abt would eminently contribute to this s jng,_and would be highly^ economh JIIOUIU it w? ro??n??y QUO pied in would bo heard no more cry for imi nation to develop, oar resources; -J fae labor already here would bo am lufficicnt to meet present demands, ire trying to Gee the very situation, real condition of iMfim. in the count what our agrioulturaf interest requl under existing surroundings and eira itances, aa ' also fo suggest the chan that would soon effect tho reclamatioi thousands of acm. of washed,! wai lands, bringing along with it prospei md independence. The same series of rotation for dise ular soils could not bs safe!; recomr* Jed. Whatever is best adapted to wants and character of the land sho t>e grown upon lt, and this is to be ast t?ined by observation and hy -?p?rira Light soils sown or cultivated id p ?nd turned over early in the fall, in c succeeded by peas, either drilled WM - broadcast, followed again by oats, and BO on, for a period of four years, would not only iv? found r*?inuu??rativ* ?tniM. hut tbe'succeasion would increase the fertility manyfbld. Very marked improvement bas attended the turning of unpsstured oat stubble for three or four consecutive seasons. Heavier, moro tenacious soils are favorable to wheat, and by summer fallow may produce successfully that cereal for several years in succession. But what is far preferable, is the sowing of red clover seed along with the wheat. It is a fact that cannot be controverted that clover is both a preserver and f?rtil aar. This is its reputation on two conti nents-Europe testifies to it, America confirms it. In respect to the facility in adapting itself to soil aud climate, ard ?t? fomge and renovating qualities it no equal among the grasses. Thew.? lier has seen it on tbe fiat sandy soil of the eastern shore of Virginia, It flourishes in the coldest latitudes, and is found in the hotest zones. That it does well in upper South Carolina is an established fact. Its great merit? should hare lung sinco commended themselves more gen erally to the farming community; and instead of small patches broad fields should be put down in this invaluable 3ross. We believe the time is not very istant when this will take place, and when our old red hill-tops will be seen covered and green with this plant, not perhaps especially for the hay that they may yield, but for purposes of pasturage and renovation. Sown in connection with wheat, oats or barley, or alone, it fre quently produces a large amount of ha> the first season. The second year the first cutting may be expected to be very abundant ? and the a fte ?o watti, if allowed to ripen, will furnish seed for other sow ings, and provender for cattle in the win ter. Being a biennial the field should at the proper ti"\j be turned, and after wards sowned down iu small grain, with a light sprinkling of clover seed. An other two years will prepare tho land for a magnificent corn or cotton crop. But if preferred the afterswnth of the second ?'cp.r may be permitted to fall on the and ami serve the two-fold purpose of re-Heeding and fertilizing. E.
