Postponed.
We are requested to say that the Grange
meeting contemplated to be held with
Moffattsville Grange on the third Satur
day of this month, is postponed to the
third Saturday in August next, at 10 !
o'clock a. m. Pomona Grange has ac
cepted an invitation to meet with the
Granges of that .neighborhood for the
transaction of business ot a special na
ture AU the Granges of the County are !
invited to be present with them. A com
mit.ee has been appointed to invite
speakers for tho occasion, and arrange
tho programme of proceeding. A good
time is expected.
jLvoiona Grange.
Tho meeting of Pomona Orange on
tlie 8th inst, was well attended, and mem
bers seemed to feel and exhibit a living
interest in the business boforo them. A
few of tho sub-Granges who are generally
very punctual were not represented,
which, wc hope, are excusable from un
controlable circumstances rather than
from a wilful abseuce. A considerable
amount of routine business was disposed
of, and some elections held. The officiai
term of tho Local Agent and Executive
Committee having expired, Bro. John B.
Watson was elected Local Commercial j
Agent. Four additional members were j
nuder to tho Executive Committee
which will now consist of seven instead 1
of three members. This addition was
made mainly with a view of increasing
their facilities for obtaining information
from every section of our jurisdiction,
and enabling the Committee to net moro j
- intelligibly in the cases requiring their
deliberation. The Committee elected
arc, J. W. Norris, P. E. Urown, T. B.
Lee, Matcomb Erwin, K. B. Dean, J. W.
Picken:; and D. L. Cox. During the
past year the committee considered it
necessary to como together in u business
capacity at least once' over? month, and
assuming that the duties dovolving upon
them for the ensuing year will not be
lesa obligatory, nor perhaps less labori
ous, it may be equally proper to keep up
theso monthly meetings; and that we!
may make a prompt beginning and a fair '
start; tba whole committee elect are re
spectfully invited to meet at Anderson
cu tho first Monday in August next, at |
10 o'clock a. m., to enter formally upon
their official duties. In the meantime
tho old committee will keep watch over
the business, not tho leust of which will

Oats and Oatmeal.
That there is an abundant crop of oats
harvested in this Beetloo of country there
can be no doubt, and since wo aro in
clined to the belief that very Hule profit
is derived from the oat crop by our farm
ers generally, it may bo profitable to
Borne c* us io peruse ino ru no to iatoiy
published in the agricultural column of
the Charleston News. Too many of our
farmers use their oats. for horse feed in
tho sheaf, by throwing tho whole bundle
into tho horse-trough, which ho extrava
gantly wastes by eating off the heads
and trampling under foot the straw.
Thia is rather an expensive litter for
horse beds. If oats are hreahed they
.should bc ground into mci and mixed
wKh fodder and other lopg forage cut
short by ?. cutting knife, or if fed in the
' sheaf to either hoi sos or cowa should be
run through tho cutting machino so 03
tn thoroughly mix heads and straw.
Head the reflections of Hon. D. W.
Aiken on the subject :
Perhaps tho State of South Carolina
never harvested euch a crop of oats as
Hbo will tbUyear. Ader long experience
in oat sobing, and continued eflbrt tr?
procure a sort of oat that would yield a
good crop, and be proof against rust or
blast, our farmors seem to have at last
discovered the article in thc valuable red
: oat, now so extensively town throughout
tho Stato. What a boon that IP**a grain1
bas been to. tho farming inter?. . of the
. State, few men can .conceive who bavo
not watched its introduction and general
cultivation with a sort of experimental
interest.
Ita presence as a staple crop suggests
some moral reflections. It has como in
our poverty like a special providence.
To depend upon growing corn to feed tho
beasts of burthen, and so much of tho
human race as sojourn oa South Carolina
soil, would entail upon our farmers an
endless poverty, and perhaps want and
etavatlon to plough animals. But Just
in tho nick of time cotnea the red oats to
Have us from industrial failure, and' to
secure for us political indopendonco; for
we beltevo the truthfulaess o' the asser
tion we heard mode not lo..g since, by a
distinguished lawyer of tho book.coun
try, that "red oats whipped the,fight in
1876." For, said he, when tho redshirt,
at' the . proper signal, unhitched his
plough traces, mounted his ?toed ana
threw tho half-bushel .cacar of red oats
behind him. he meant business, and bus
iness wilh bim meant political victory.

We h?ard another mah say, (and, tia1

we think this somewhat extravagant, vre
aro propared to believe any man in South

"For thc poet forty years, says an Eng
lishman, I have made my breakfast oif a
pint of oatmeal porridge, with very rare
exceptions, and nothing else, fasting for
four hours afterward. If, however, I
take any other form of breakfast, I find
myself very hungry before the next meal,
which is never tue case when I have bau
my porridge. I feel assured if working
men and their families would but take a
basin of oatmeal and milk porridge night
and morning, with such other food as
they can procure in the interval, we
should have a healthier race of men and
women ?.han now exists. A few years
ago I bad a Devonshire girl living with
mo aa a servant. The girl was willing
enough tc work, but lind not tho stamina
to perform it. This I found, on ques
tioning her, arose from the deficient and
ill-advised diet on which sho had been
reared. She shortly began to take her
porridge night and morning, end this,
with a daily mid-day meal ot meat, ena
bled ber to perform tier duties with ease.
It is surprising how much nutrition is
contained in this cheap and wholesome
food."
Oats do not contain a great deal of
phosphatic matter, and therefore aro not
commended as a bone-producing food,
but inasmuch os almost all the food we
eat supplies the necessary phosphates for
tho growth of the skeleton, thero is more
necessity to have our diet composed of
such substances ns produce flesh, fat nnd
muscles, and oats contain a superabun
dance of these elements.
Travel whero wo will north of tho
Potorro or Ohio, ard wo And oatmeal
and ...il!: or sugar u favorite breakfast
dish. Thu graii.M of outs aro ground
sufficiently to rub off tho bran, and per
haps crack tho grain. In this condition
they aro boiled and eaten like hominy
with milk or with sugar. We hopo our
farmers will test the palatableness of this
dish during the ttummer and let us hear
from them. It is a new dish to most of
them, but if it proves to bo wholesome
and palatable, why should it not be in
troduced here ns it ha? been elsowherc?
We clip tho following from another
exchange :
"Oatmeal, now found on nlmo.it every
gentleman's breakfast table, was, u few
years ago, used exclusively by the Scotch
und Irish. Dr. Johnson, who, in Iii..
hatred cf the Scotch, lost no opnotuuity
of saying a hitter word against tfiem, do
nnai oats as in Scotland food for Scotch
men, but in England food for hornea.
" Yes,' answered un indignant Scotch
man, 'where cnn you find such men ns in
Scotiand, or such horses os in Eng
land?'
"We have hc-ardof u shrewd old Scotch
mother who used to make her family eat
oatmeal first, saying: 'The bairn who
cats the most porritch will get the most
meat after it.' But the bairn who guined
tho prize always found himself too full
to enjoy the meat.
"it is mentioned in a most charming
book, 'The Ufo and Letters of Lord
Macaulay/ that Cariylo, catching a sight
of Macaulay's fao in repose, remarked,
'Well, any ono can seo that you are an
honest, good sort of fellow, made out of
oatmeal.
"If oatmeal cnn 'mako' such men as
Walter Scott, Dr. Chalmers, and Lord
Macaulay, wo may well heap high tho
porritch dish, and bribe our children to
eat of it. One thing wo do know, that
! it is far better for the blood and brain
than cake, confections, and thc Bcores of
I delicacies on which many pale little pets
aro fed by their foolishly ?bad mothers.
" 'Tho Queen's Own/ a regiment of
frants, recruited from tho Scottish High
ands, aro, as Carlyle said of Macaulay,
'mado of oatmeal.' So boys who want
j height, and breadth, and' muscio, aud
j girls who want rosy checks and physical
I vigor, should turn from hot bread and
j einer indigestibles, to this 'food for
Scotchmen und horses.' "

ST. LOUIS, July 10.
This dny will become historic in St.
Louis and will be known aa the hottest
ever experienced in this latitude. Yes
terday tho mercury touched almost tho
same point in the thermometer, but be
ing Sunday and the great majority of
people indoors, it was not felt to be so
oppressive, nor was lt so terribly fatal iu
its r?-'iiltn. At daylight this morning
the pressure of the ' atmosphere was al
most suffocating in its closeness, and at
eight o'clock tho mercury marked vu in
the shade. By that hour several cases of
aunntroko had been reported aud ahum
of patients were at the dispensary for
treatment. The dispensary had been
hurriedly fitte? up as a temporary hos
Ktal, being provided with wire couches.
9, medicines and tho necessary medical
attendants.. This was dono in anticipa
tion of an ertraodlnary weather crisis,
and the s?Vr-equ?nt events of the doy
showed tho wiscc~ bf tbeso precaution
ary measures, as many lives were saved
by tho facilities that were thus afforded
by quick treatment.
Tue. dispensary presented a bustling
scene of animation. Even in the carly
norning crowds gathered at the door to
watch the op?rations of the corps of
physicians and attendants who were
rushing about A member of tho Board
of Health, Mr. Priest, looked in to seo
that everything was going on all right.
Health Commissioner Francis, with his
cont nnd vest off, superintended the I
operations. Dr. Ludeking and Rmeick
attended to ike patients, assisted by
Drs. Horaan and Davis and two assistant
physicians from the City Hospital.
Across tho ballway Mr. Francis bad a

As the day wore on the number of ar
rivals increased alarmingly. Eaoh pa

and ice and restoratives applied, and
when sufficiently revived was hurried in
a city ambulance to the City Hospital
or. his home. At an early hour tho most
exaggerated rumors flew about tko city,
and great alarm prevailed during the
day. Every hear teer* espie in reports
of some well known citizen who* had
boen stricken down.
About ten o'clock tit? venerable Dr.
jifoOanonely, editor of the Christian Ad
vocate, fell prostrate while, at work in

forth, that he was, dead, and it was only
at a much later hour that it was learned
that ho had revived and was still alive,
though in a critical condition. At
eleven o'clock: Mr. Joseph Tieman, a
prominent real estate dealer, whiio tais

At noon there wero fifteen corpses in

three horses in thc same service. Among
the bodies laid out in the Morgue waa

wero twenty-six bodies in the Morgue,
and, despite tho utmost caro that had
been takeu, the stench was awful, and
pervaded the atmosphere for a block

ready boxed up for buriul to-night, and
tho others wero on ice. Of course tho
most of these victims were of Ute poor
and laboring classes, many of them un
known aud destined to a quick and un?
cc.emonious burial. The coroner's office,
attached to the Morgue, will remain open
all night, the Coroner and his deputies
unvoting their time to receiving the
bodies. The suffering was not confined
to the business part of the city by any
means ; many ladies and young people
were prostrated in their residences, but
those cases were uniformly of a lighter

Confiiot of Jurisdiction-Judge Ker
s?inw's Rec?slou iu tho Revenar
Cases.
The concluding passages of the opinio
of Judgo Kershaw, upon the motiou I
transfer to the United States Court tl
proceedings against the Revenue office
who killed Amos Lathi,D were publiant
yesterday. Judge Kershaw refused tl
motion. The reasons which governed hi
in coming to this conclusion are give
both clearly and freely in his opinion, ar
wo shall endeavor to ?date them as brief
as is compatible with an under* tn nd ii
of the gravity of tho questions discusse
and the momentous importance of tl
mntter in dispute.
Tho facts upon which tho appiicatii
for removal were based, aa derived ,rrc
tho recitals of tho wri';, are that the pr
oners, United Staten Marshal and Depu
Collectors of Internal Revenue, who wc
in tho discharge of their duty in this D
trict of South Carolina, aro now held
tho common jail of Greenville Couni
together with G. W. Moose, to ansa
before tho Court of General Sessions !
Anderson County, charged with feloi
ously killing Amos Ludo, of the Cour
of Bickens, "whereas it is alleged tt
the killing of thc said Amos Ladd by t
said Hugh P. Kano, William Durba
Robert P. Scruggs and G. W. Moose, v

lector of Internal Revenue," ?xe. Fi
with the rt cord in tho'Stato Court
affidavits of thc prisoners stating Ibo *
done by them and the attendant circt
stances, specifically and in detail, i
pared and used in the State Court u)
their application for bail tbero. 'j
question for Judge Kershaw to determ
was whether the prisoners had eUtil
themselves to an order slaying the j.
ceedings in the State Court, and sun
dering tho prisoners to the custody of
Unite? ??etcr3 Marshal. This was clair
under ??<,-!ion 648 of the Revised SUti
of the United States, and "if the act ci
is applicable to this case, and if Cong
had the power to legislate to. that efl
the motion must prevail. Otherwise
m?at be denied." The authority of C
gross "to make all laws which sha!
necessary and Droner for carrying i
execution" the taxing powers of tho f.
eminent cannot be questioned.
Congress exercised the power of legi
tion to tho extent claimed by the pru
era. and is such legislation "neces
ana. proper?" The cases subject tc
transferred to the United States, C<
under the act referred to are indii
thus: "Where any civil suit or crim
prosecution is commenced in any C
of & State against an officer appoii
under, or acting by authority of,
Revenue law of the United States, 1
cr against any person acting undei
by authority of, any such officer, on
count of any act done under color of
office ox of any such law, or on acct
of any right, title or authority claii
by such officer or,other person under
such law, the said suit or proseen
may, at any time! before tho trial br 1
bearing thereof, bo removed for I
Into the Circuit Court next to bo bo!
In the district where the same is pt

Sas "nothing less than tho sho?tlo
oath of a citizen of the State, a yr
itanding. when first fited into, lo
loor cf Iiis mother's house, Vith wi
tie rodded, and in the presence of
Family, and finally and fatally shot d
in the yard of the homestead by nno
sf the prisoners, as ho fled, worin
from the first"
Judge Kersh aw holds that, if the o
B?erciBcu Oj ?u? F'?k?on?Ts c. say war
Such as is set np by them could auf.h<
the act done, then the act might bo
to have been done - under color bl
office or authority. (Turpin vs. Bran
3 M. C. 20; , I Jacob's LawDlctioi
501.) The warrant under which
claim to have acted ia said to bare
for. tho arrest of a person charged
a violation of the internal Rot cutio '
This offence Is nothing more than a
of office. Nor 5? there any law of the
United States for the collection of the
revenue which authorizes, or appears to
authorize, any such oct, and therefore
upon like reasoning it is manifest that it
cannot be claimed to have been done
under color of 'any such law,' or 'on ac
count of any right, title or authority
claimed by such officer or other person
under any such law.' There being no
such law as authorized tbe act, no such
authority could be claimed under the
law. It follows that the law set up docs
not embrace.this case under this provis
ion." it was argued, however, that the
officers, having a warrant authorizing an
arrest nnd being resisted by Ladd in the
execution of that process, hud a right to
slay him. This is a misapprehension of
the law. The circumstances, as ?et forth
by the prisoners, do not mate such a case
of resistance as would justify the killing.
After having lain for some time in am
bush tho prisoners determined to make a
"charge" upon Ladd's house, and did so
charge, in front and rear, with guns in
their bunds. Lndd, seeing their approach,
and before any explanation of the pur
pose and authority with which they came,
?napped his gun at Kane, who immedi
ately fired on Lndd and wounded bim.
Litad then ran into the yard, and there
was shot down. Upon thia statement of
the prisoners themselves, tho act would
not bo justifiable, in any view of the case.
(I Russell on Crimes, 54 and 510.) Judge
Kershaw Bays furthe-:
"If, however, it .re granted that thy
killing was in fact, SA alleged by the pris
oners, done in necessary self-defence, thal
is a common Inw defence, and does hoi
exist by virtue of the process claimed to
be in the hands of the officers, or thc
authority of tho statute law wherewith
they were clothed. If their official char
acter entered into tho case as an ingredh
eut of such defence, it was only so bj
virtue of tho common lnw, and not be
cause of any statu to or process. Tin
killing would not have been justifiable
because of tho possession of tho warran
or authority, but by reason of tho con
duct of the deceased, It was an act done
not in execution of the warrant, but ir
defence of the person of tho individual
Thc act, therefore, cannot be snid to batt
been done under color of the office o
authority of laws invoked."
In support of this view, Judgo Kershav
cited tho decision of the United State
Supreme Court in the case of McKee vs
Rains, 10 Wall, 22. No Revenuo law o
other authority cnn be produced tba
would authorize the act done by tho priu
onere, and this was not, therefore, "a sui
or prosecution" by thc net now Invoker]
There are other sufficient reasons v?h
the prisoners were not entitled to the rt
movui claimed. The judicial power c
the United States is defined and limite
by the Constitution, Article III, Sectio
2. Judgo Kershaw, after reciting thi
provision, says :
"It is clear that the United Stat?
Courts have no inri; diction of tho ma
tere involved in this controversy, by rei
son of the character of the parties. 1
is a case between thc State of South Ca
ulina und citizens thereof, of which i
such there is no grant of jurisdiction,
must arise then, if at all, under thc claus
affecting tho subject matter of this cos
to wit: that which declares that the jud
cial power aimil extend to all cases in la
and equity arising under the Const i cu t ic
and laws of the United States."
****** ?
"It ha? b sn argued by the learn;
counsel that the terms 'all cases in ls
and equity/ us employed in thoCousin
tion, uo not import, in legal parlance,
criminal jurisdiction. But it has bet
uniformly held that such included t
o {fences against tho laws and Constitute
of the United States, and that the Fe
eral Courts hod such jurisdiction in i
coses of that character, whore Congrt
iiti? expressly couierreo the junsdicui
nnd provided the punishment.
"Congress has nowhere oxcrcised a
buch power, by conferring jurisdiction
any Court of tho United States- of t
crime of homicide committed within t
limits of the States, except where,
reason of the cession of territory a
jurisdiction, tho Uoited States had e
elusive authority.
"But it is claimed that und a- this S<
tion 643 of the Revised Statutes, prov,
ing for the transfer of all coses iu whi
officers of tho Revenue Department i
coiled in question for an act done um
color of offico or the authority of t
Revenue laws, the jurisdiction is ct
fer red by implication. This would
true if the United States Cour > w
Courts of general common-law jnristl
tion j but, as ??s been already said, tl
have no power even, within the scope
the Constitutional p*ant, except such
aro conferred upon them bv statute
fining tho crime*"and prescribing a pi
ishment.
"Now, the act done by these prison
Sivo rise to an indictment for murdei
e State Courts. It is contended t
the act of Congress cited authorizes
transfer of tho caso to the Circuit Co
of tho United States 'for trial.' 1
Circuit Court could not, under the C
stitution, entertain jurisdiction of
cose when transferred, Unless it wa
case arising under the Constitution
laws of the United States, as' has b
already shown, and this is not one
arising."
Judge Kershaw demonstrates that
jurisdiction claimed is not necessary
carry into execution any of the po\i
granted to the United States, and c
tends that Congress has not attempi
in the apt in question, to legislate beyi
its constitutional powers. The acte
that, after the transfer, "the cause si
thereupon be entered on the docke
the Circuit Court, and shall proceed c
cause arioinally otr.vjmeijjcdin thal Cou
But if it bo conceded that Congress
the right to confer jurisdiction upon
Circuit Courts to tr?? a case of mur
committed by BU umccr of ino Reye
while executing process or dischnrp
his duty as such, where is.the act of C
Jress that does confer such jurisdicti
udgo Kershaw quotes the decisiot
the United States Supreme Court in
U. S. vs. Hudson & Good, (7 Cranch,
and Kent's .Commentaries, upon
point, and says: "In nc '?se has (
gress failed, when lt attempted to co
jurisdiction of a criminal offence, torr
the a?t a crime, to affix a punishmer
it, and. to declare the Court which s
have jurisdiction." Nowhere do wc
that Congress has provided for the ci
of murder, committed by one of ita
cere, in executing process .within
limits of a State and under the jurie
tion of the State Courts. "The abs
of such legislation oven in a clear ??ai
constitutional power to exercise it, w
be fatal to the jurisdiction claimct
the Circuit Cou't to try tho ease, nor
lt be supposed that the act wa* {xtei
to provide for the transfer for il
cause which the Court couid noi tr
the want of jurisdiction."
Judge Kershaw reviews the cases (
against thia reasoning: Cohen vs.
jinia; United States ex rel. Roher
Tailor of Fayette County ; Jesse F. 1
kins 77, XJ.C. R.581; Jenkins, 2 "1

more to maintain tbe supremacy of tbe
laws and to enlist in their support the
hearty good will of the people than the
assurance of a regular, orderly and uni
form administration of justice through
the regular aud accustomed channels.
On the other band the interposition of |
extraordinary aud unusual modes of dis
pensing law arid justice tend to shake the
confidence or the people in the integrity
of its administration. Nothing so effec
tually provokes to lawlessness and disloy
alty to all law.
"It is most important that this conflict
of jurisdiction should be fairly settled.
If this Cecision should be reviewed by
tho Supreme Court of the Suite, which
is greatly to be desired, its judgment sus
taining the juridiction of the Federal
Court? would be faithfully yupported in
this State. Should it determine against
tho jurisdiction, the whole question may
bo taken io the Supreme Court of the
Unit-d States for final arbitrament, and
it? determination would be final and con
chi :ive, and with entire fidelity be sus
tained by the Courts here.
"A resort, however, to the compulsory
power claimed for the Circuit Court might
transfer the question from the quiet arena
of the Courts to the Executive Departments
of the Governr/?ent, and lead to great irri
tation und consequences greatly to be
deprecated.' The motion is refused."
The issue is now squarely made, and it
must be determined in tho way indicated
by Judge Kershaw, or not at all. His
decision ?B lav/ in this State, until re
versed by the Supremo Court of the
State, or by the Supreme Court of the
Uuitcd States ; and, as law, it will bo
upheld and defended against any "com
pulsory power" claimed for the Circuit
Court of tho United States. It is not
likely, however, that any actual conflict
will ar?h?. The Federal officers will be
satisfied, we judge, with a peaceful settle
ment in the Courts. Already, much is
gained. The Revenue officer who kills
or assaults a citizen can no longer hope
to encape trial and punishment by. trans
ferring the cause to Courts where it cau
not be tried. In the State Courts alone
such offenders will be tried, nnd this will
Buffice, without anything else, to make
Revenue officers particularly careful not
to go an inch beyond the strict line of
their authority and duty.- Charleston
News and Courier.
Whenever and Wherever
Ldecasi'S of a choloralc typo prevail, or there I?
cause to apprehend a visit from tbrtc, tho system

safeguards against such maladies, and both are so
cured by this inestimable tonic and alterative
Thc Bitter.! are also extremely serviceable In rem
edying such disorders. If promptly taken in
bilious colic, diarrhoea and cholera morbus, tho
discaso la usually frustr ted. In diarrhea cases,

of this medicine. Wind on tho stomach, heart

remedy. As a family medicine it is Invaluable,
since it promptly and completely remedies those
ailments which are of most frequent occurrence.
