Address on the Condition ortho Order-The DuUoaaud Aliuo of tho Patrons of Husbandry In South Carolina. Delivered by the Jinn. J. N. lipscomb, at the recent Meeting of the State Orange. Patrons: The year of 1879 bas passed , away, nod you in the thre jhold of the new vear 1880 are now met in serious conclave' to 'consider, consult, devise and determine what ic most needed and best for yourselves, your families, your State ana your country as to domestic, pecuniary, social and civic welfare. At such a meeting, custom, co-exiHtent with - the Order itself, makes it my duly to ad dress you, to inform you of tho condition aud the past annual transtacions of the Order, and to recommend action conduc ive toits future prosperity and advance ment. Since lost you met the struggle to sus tain, revive and firmly establish the Order in the State bas been most paticnt < ljt pe-aisteptlyy earnestly aud successful , >1y made1 by a>part of your officers, aided by some of the Maulera of Pomona and subordinate Granges, aud in some cases conspicuously by Individual Patrons un officially. But in many portions of the State, owing to the indifference snd apathy of tho farmers and the culpable negligence of Patrons, who, after allow ing themselves to bo elected to and in stalled into office, proved recklessly re creant to tbe solemn pledges aud duties they assumed, the Order hos not advanced but declined. In, all counties nod sections wherever Patrons and their officers have dono their " whole duty the Order'flourishes and ad vances by healthy progression, and it is not wrong to say that with the same spirit, devotion to duty, sense of obligation, pa tient and persistent isork, almost all the counties of this State could and would show rig creditable and flourishing an ex hibit of the Order as Colloton, Darling ton, Newberry, Kershaw. Lancaster, York and Spartanburg. In all cases of decline ? t?7-f ? .- . .-If. ? ._tU_t__ ur ian ute ti> ID emu vu oajr vu mino T? ?29 m.lu in office, "You have done those things you should not have done and loft undone -those things you should have done." No organization.association, corporation or body of any kind, either social or finan cial, religious or secular, ever succeeded or ever will succeed, unless its officers, leaders and members work, and work continuously, in ita interest.- Who ever made anything a success without devo ting to it time, toil, thought and money? The great mistake made by the officers of our Order has been and is that there is no obligation Where there is no salaiy. Th:; rule would ruin any organization, ? and the very opposite should prevail and be taught by us that while a man cannot be compelled to assume an office that does or does not pay, wheu viewed from an individual standpoint, still aa a member of any organization be is -bound to assume and discbarge tho duties that may be fairly and importiallyimposed on bim at any time for the common good. Further, that when by the aggregate voice and for the . common good he is. placed in non-paying offices, thia the obligation ?B imperatively incumbent Upon bim to either refuse to be installed, or being installed to more punctiliously and sedulously discharge all duties than if amply paid. I lay great streea upon this point, and urge that you will gi vo it your most mature consideration, for, in my opinion, just here must be instituted or inaugurated any successful attempt to . reform and revive our Order or society and the civic and political condition of our State and country. Look around and you will FCO thutofuces are sought or avoided an suits the welfare of the com muni ty, and offices, from the highest to the lowest, are now considered prizes to j be obtained by electioneering, maumuver . i"g,; Cu.ickn.fary,. deception and fraud. This bas been carried to such an extent that there ?B but little pretence now made to public tone and morals, and it is rap idly sapping the very foundations of so ciety and civilization. The only remedy is to establish and maintain that rule ol ou? pr^eirMiih regard'to office : "That no mah shall ?eek an office or shirk one;" "that the office shaU seek the man, and ' hoc ino man tho omeo." . jrairons, stamp this motto upon tho banners of your Or der, and nail it to your masthead ; carry it ?uto all the organizations to which you individually b?un?, whether social, re ligious, financial, civic or political, and demand that it be made an irrevocable rule, and in tho near future it will re dound in untold %ood to you and yours; to your country and io civilization itself. . The existence and continued vitality of this Order in the United States is no ion ?ger an experiment, and it is impossible to foresee, foretell, or estimate its future power and influen?a upon society, busi ness and, government. The National Grange,at its meeting in Canandlagua, New Yorky Aa Novcmboi last, considered, discussed. and took ac timi upc" questions'of'deep Interest and vast import to us, dur Order and thc country. 1 invite your' earnest at tention and consideration to their pro ceedhggB-VPBoiall^t'' bm more especially to the Tollowihg?vk: The reports of thc Committees on American Agriculture, o's ..

The department ha been organized and is at work. Not with standing much unfavorable and unfriend ly prophesying concerning it, I most Ban gui nely and confidently expect and pre dict that it will be a great and maguifi centBucceae; annually growing in strength and symmetry; r.ouunlly expanding its sphere and scope ?f work and usefulness : bringing money, muscle and brain to aid in redeeming and rebuttdirig bur state and developing ita immense resources, now idle and useless; furnishing-much und varied information, useful, beneficial ant interesting to the entire agricultural, ? mercantile and professional community now within our borders, and inducing many from without to come in. Let me 1 bespeak for it your confidence and sup Bott, in return for which it will prove a lessing to this State and people. And now having been BO handsomely and lib erally recognized as a class br our own State Government, let us ali, aa agricul turist and as a people, use our right of petition and our influence, and join our j voices to so many thousands of others throughout thfo broad Union, to induce Congress to make the Commissioner of t Agriculture of the United State? a Cabi net officer, and raise his department to equality in dignity and efficiency with tue others. In view of the immense importance it could be to, and tho untold j?ood it could do for, that great producing class who support the whole government and peo ple; the niggardly support given, and j the indifference anown by Congres? te* tho Department of Agriculture, is an out rage and nu insult that should no longer bo endured by a civilized and enlightened people. On this subject I have a letter, urging i action, from Bro. D. Wyatt Aiken, J Worthy ! Past ( Master of this Grange, and now one of the represeiiative* of this State in tho United otate* Con gress, which I will lay before you. Patrons, we are here in council to de vise and determine for the good and welfare of our beloved order, of our wive." and little ones, our people and our State. Let us think for a moment, and thou try to realizo tho immense power we can wield, IMO immense good we c^n do, and the great obligation resting upon us to fully exert ;h*t power and to do that good. Then at oui* to work ; utilize this Order. While you strive to increase, build up and strengthen it ; at tba nanto time U86 it ; make it work for you ; keep it bright and smooth by constant use. UBO it how 1 Uso it for everything good flint, any nodal, educational, financial or civic purpose that will benefit or interest us and ours. All men have some special order, organization or association to sub serve and promote tbe special interest of a special class; and to get ita benefits for that ningle speciality, they expend any amount of time, thought, toil and money needed to succeed. This order, thus used, and thus treated, will return a thousand fold for all expended upon it Then sustain it well, and use it well. Use It at homo, in the neighborhood, in the township, iu the county, in the State, in the Union and with foreign countries. Use it from the minutest in terests and objecta of the home and fami ly to tho grandest schemes of statesman al'i and diplomacy. It is actually im possible for us agriculturists and farmers to any longer derive sufficient profits from our toil mid labor to feed and support our families, without this or some similar I Organization by which we can relievo and protect ourselves from the ruinous exaction of State and Federal legislation, aud customs of trade, and tho unjust ana extortionate discriminations of corpora tions and monopolies. The earth yields bountiful crops, improved implements, and increased intelligence enables the husbandman to reap more aud more each year ; the prices of produce at pointa of consumption are good, and a fair de mand for the whole supply exists ; but : still, with all this agriculture is on the : declino; the fermera are getting poorer ' each year; each year more and more of them become bankrupt; each year the number of landowners becomes smaller and smaller, and unless some change is made, or remedy- applied, it is only a question of time when wholesale bank ruptcy and ruin will overwhelm them as a class. Why is thia? Because there is an abnormal and undue amount of or ganisation and comb iiistion fiots^on?st?c to agriculture, and absolutely none in its defence or behalf. The poor individual farmer stauds si nely ned alone confron ting an army of thousands, trained, drill ed, officered, organized, armed, equipped, supplied and "ready" to move at a moment's notice ;" and there stands the farmer with nothing I 'Aa one of our aol diera once complained, "nothing to tat and nothing to cook it in ;" nothing to shoot, and couldn't shoot it if he had ; no ammunition bot adozen "bird shot," and a spoonful of wet powder all mixed to gether in his "breeches pocket ;" no sup plies but a little "lien," "dry aalt" meat j no one to help him, and ho can't help himself. I So. *pfc?u the . contest begioi who can and .will get the most of the am aual crops of this poor farmer while ii ii tn transilu from bim to the consumer i It can ba easily seen how much chance ho stands. It is a wonder ho gets any al PM. Thib is rspsiod annually until bard work and hard living bring bia premature death to end his misery. .Is this picture truo? Look and judge foi yourselves. Look around 1 You will seo tho evidences of extravagance and prodigality, both governmental and social public tod private, spead broadcast ovei the whole country. Tho government ?Wt ?lint; honnla ranlrlpJUtlir ntumrinff ill to waatefmanJ unprofitable consumption and expenditure, nil of which must bi paid for by these annual producta oi values derived from tho toil and sweat o: the farmer. To raise the means to sup port all thia governmental and social ex travaganco <t becomes nc?essary to. B< shape the 1 ?ialatloh of the country, bott Federal und State, foreign commercia treaties, revenue lawa at a taxes, that al government?, corp?rationst combinationi I and monopolies may be abie co seize one 1 appropriate almost tho entire amount o the proceeds of agricultural labor, leav i ag a bare pittance to support existence I solemnly ask you is this to continui ? without any effort to check or chango it ' To check or change it will require some thing beside individual effort or work it will require complete, thorough ant strong combination nud organization o nurrfoera of people. If any one can givi .us a bette: br strongcVj let him do so a once, but until something better is found let us bold on to thia Order, and ase itt? save ourselves from ruin and destruction Let ns avail ourselves of this meeting ii this our beautiful "City by the Bea,* t remove the many misapprehensions tba exist as to tho objects and tenets of uu Order ; show and convince all who wil iiaten, thai we arc not dasir?cUv* o militant ; that we seek to injure none that wo are conservativo' and defensive that wo only seek to get the same beucfi and aid from organization and co-opern l'on, in our pursuits and undertaking* that all others around us are getting that we propose no innovations on lon established rules of business.. That wail wo wok to remove all useless and wortli lesa manipulations, producing exaction nud taxes without value of products i transito from the farmer and nianufactt rer to the consumer, Btill we are wiitin aud expect that all needed manipulation handling and carriage shall receive full couir-nsat?ou ; .that vre ?eek to inform ourselves how and where to sell most profitably, and to buy most economically ; that by selling and buying together, we get the benefit quantity always gives in either, an? in freights and charges. That we seek and desire the most friendly relations with commercial and business men and ccmpauies ; that we claim and confident ly assert that if we could, and should consummate our undertakings, it would redound in benefits to business and other clauca? equally with the agricultural; that they and all should aid us, "os we i work for all." We do not claim that the annual crops belong to the husbandman alone, bat admit it to be a common prop erty, belonging to all who work or serve the community, either physically or men tally, and each is entitled to . laim in proportion to tho value of the services rendered, but no more : and we deuy the right of those who neither work nor serve to any share at ail. No matter bow much conflict there may be between the' agricultural class nud interests and other classes and interests in other States abd coun tries, still it is safe to say there. is and should be none in thia State. No enter prise based upoB capital, commerce, trade, manufactures, or transportation, bas yet reached such magnitude and power in this State os to sensibly cause it to directly antagonize thc great aud fundamental in terest of agriculture, and, whenever it is attempted, it is by those who, failing to realize and understand the int?r?ts they representare tempted by inordinate and selfish greed and aggrandizement to a course- that ia not endorsed by judgment or approved by conscience. Then let us invite and appeal to the sense and wis dom of the leaders of all classes and in terests to join and aid us ia dovisiugand inaugurating plans and schemes that will revive and foster the languishing ag ricultural iuterest of the State and coun try ; join us to influence and cause more considerate and friendly legislation and action. \yr>th Rfcnf.fi an? TvAdnrol . ain n? tn remove some of the too many heavy and unjust burthens with which agriculture is now, so loaded as to crash and stifle it. Then will it soon revive and prosper, con ferring sustenance, profit and happiness of not only tliorc immediately engaged in it, but also on all of ovory class and interest. May yonr Bession bo harmonious, pleas ant and fraternal;, may your work oe so .*?Tl and wisely done, and its fruits sp Bweei and abundant as to entitle you to tho praise and thanks of those you'repre sent, and cause you to be glad that you are here. A Stenm Koad-Wngon. During the winter months Professor Saroni has beon busy in perfecting his steam wagon, and be will this week for ward his model of the machinery to Washington, D. 0., for the purpose of securing: letters patent upon it, ho having PO far been operating under a simple caveat. Sinco the appearance of tho op Eamt us upou the streets last fall it has eeo vastly improved. By a double sys tem of clutches and pulleys, one at each end of the driving shaft, the. power can ba applied for speed or for slow work with heavy draught. But the greatest novelty that bas beon introduced Into the. machinery is a system of propulsion for uso in caso of ascending a steep hill. Taking an idea from the fact that a horse can draw a much heavier load than its own weight, the inventor has introduced two sets of lovers that correspond (factly, in movement and in the application of power with the two hind legs of a horse, the one alternating with the other, pre cisely as do the limbs of the animal, li is difficult, without diagrams, to illustrate how this ia accomplished, but it? ?filet ean be understood with sufficient clear ness from the foregoing ; comparison. The second important advance ?sade ?? in a device for the rapid generation of steam, which bi a marvel ot ingenuity, os. well as a marvel of success. As former ly, gasoline is the fuel employed, and the flame is made to play upon pumice-stono, which heat to a whiteness, and thus not Anlv ffyaotflq a rnaartinir nf nnwqt?Ht Tl?.?t but Bnould the ??me t>? tcmpotarily ex tinguished by a sudden jerk of the ma chinery, as it is apt to be, it is rekindled. The pumice-stono occupies the fire-box above which are arranged coils of pipe containing tho water, which are ro ar ranged aa tb give the water both lateral and longitudinal motion, and to permit the sediment to settle in the lower pipes on the side of the fire-box, where it can be readily taken out. A second and smaller boiler is used to generate steam first, and this super-heated steam is con ducted to a nozzle, at the end of which t .d below it is ?'aced closely a second nozzle. This .w.tion of the apparatus is similar to thc atomizers which are BO familiarly known and used in procuring fine spray from bottles of perfume, ana tho action of the steam atomizer invented by Professor Saroni is precisely aiuiil?r to that of a perfume, bottle. The jet of superheated steam, aa it emerges from its nozzle, meets n jot of gasolino~vapor from the nozzle immediately below the steam nozzle, arid steam and gos are together f>rejected into the fire-box in that infin ity divided condition so favorable tb chemical combination, resulting in in tense combustion and-tho rapid produc tion of beat As soon as the pumice stone has thus been sufficiently _heated, ibo atomizers are shae on and tho ordi nary service jets are turned on. By thia means steam caa be generated from cold ? t??er to a pressure of 100 pounds in four minutes. . It nv.> bo added that the "leg propulsion," if it may be co termed, can b?

Tb the Editor of the New? and Courier: In your ?BSUO of tho. 18th inst., appeared the following: BOMB MOKE "FOOD FOB THOUGHT.'' "ia it possible that Congressman Aiken favor? the infamous system of assess ments upon public officers for political purposes? We canuot believe that be coe i. But if he does hot, why did he .nore to lay on the table the Anti*As sessment bill, having as bis followers all the Republicans aod only two Dem? crata, Moore, of Massachusetts, aud Wells, of Missouri?" Of whom do you make this inquiry? Is it of me, or ol that public whoss opin ion you would, I fear, haply if you could, mould to my demerit? There ii an insinuation always shrouded in inter rogatories submitted as you submit thc above, that to my mind suggests a sinis ter motive in propounding the inquiry If, however, in this instance this impres sion is groundless, and I am mistake . ic my view of the matter, I will only ot pleased to know I am incorrect]?* im ?rc?scd. But as Sam Scott, the Cntawbi ndian chie'of my boyhood day?, would say under similar circumstances, "Tl smells like it." During the extra session of last sprinj the committe on civil service reform re ported a' hilt prohibiting assessment upon public officers for political purposes Another feature of the Dill was to make it a penal'offence for such officers to aliov themselves to bo assessed for such purpo BOS.' The discussion upon this bill con sumed over two weeks of the extra Bes sion, and caused much "bad blood" be tween tho two parties, resulting in re peated and continued abuBO>-f tho South and the "Confederate Brigadiers" in th House, with never a friend, from th North, glorious Democrats tbeugh the; be, tb raise bia voice in our deronco, eav a few words from Gen; Tom-Ewing c Obie.

That was coi sumed, and the member presenting th bill moved the previous question. Th I Republicans demanded further time 1 discuss the bill, and a large number < Democrats were disposed to grant it. The gentleman (Hosietler, of Indiana having the bill in charge persistently; r fused, and the Republicans began l "filibuster" by refusing to vote at al and the Democrats not having a quoru of the whole House present, had tl point made upon them after every' vot that a "quorum was not present." A cn of the House was ordered, and 243 men hers answered to their, names. Aooth vote was ordered, the roll called, abo 130 Democrats voted; but noRpublican and another point of order that there w no quorum. At this btage of the contest I saw i evident disposition on- the part of t Democrats to open up discussion agai Cuibonof Simply to allow theRcpub cacs another opportunity to abuse t South, and shako unmercifully t poor old tattered and torn bloody shirt our faces. Meantime the bill had been so load down with amendments from both Den crats and Republicana that its nutt would not have known bia bantlit wrapped as it was in ita variegated gi menta. Then it was that ! roso aud asked it would ba in order to lay Ibo bill a amendments oft tho table?

A Texan farmer mad? a discovery on the 8th which certainly bids fair to raise bim to more prominence in his owoBtate then if he had found a new ?a?erold of tho nineteenth magnitude, right ascen sion, 23 north, or invented a new steam pump. Surely and tersely the discovery was a method for tho extermination of the Texan ant. "Next to every one knows that the ant is an ?nsecv (bat mutt he dealt with prudently yet vigorously, com batively yet with caution. From the microscopio but highly-flavored species Uian haunts the sugary spots of the cub board to tho fierce and intractable pic nic variety, the ant is acrcature inculcate lng feelings, of profoundest respect, not to say awe, in tho human breast, and there is not a housekeeper in the broad land that can look unmoved upon bim when once )ie bas established bis home in tho neighborhood and gono. actively into- th?'business of multiplication and increase. Professor Doi?mus, of : New York, once estimated- that there were 19,344 different species of ants in Amep<> ca; and the Galveston Kewf, promptly recognizing tho " ui tuniloa, ' rose - and; claimed 19,323 of those species as the ex-, elusive property of Texas. Selfish and inconsiderate aa this claim may^aeem. i it bas never been contested ; and nineo tho Encyclopaedia Biittnniea, in the now. edition, bas accorded 19,300 varieties to Texas, it will be seen that the Gavcloton Newt'e apparently violent and boastful claim is well backed up by. eciectific au tboritj. But to thc discovery. ThoToxan farmer whose fame bids fair to rival that of the discoverer of America was in such humble circumstances i a year ago that he was only able to keep two hogs and one ants nests ou his ranche, twenty miles beyond Unvalde, on the Kio Prio. . Being Btill further re duced, he determined to give up ioo ants aud cling only to tho hogs. .Tho resolution was easily made. But bow to giye up tho ants?-ah, that was harrow ing. The farmer got out his two sons and three spades and started to dig up the nest In two minutes after, break ing ground tho impracticability ol min-, gling excavation with war danco and pro fanity became painfully evident, and he and his heirs retired to disrobe and ap ply arnica and ponder new methods of revenge. Next day ho poured two pounds of powder down tho muin hatch and touched lt oft". This blew half a million of anta to kingdom como, and excited the rest, but next morning thoy. were at work, cheerful as ever, having I just discovered where the farmer kept [his corn mea!. Then ho poured a gallon of kerosene down the hoi-) and set it on fire. Thenntsdidu't Uko this, but kept holiday ia the cellar while tho thing was blazing sud then came out again* Then tho farmer tried hot water, vinegar^ nitric acid, molasses, Paris green ana ammonia. He built bonfires over the 'nest by night nod rammed gunpowder. ' aud nitro-glycerine in it by day. No use. He tried prayer-the ants got away with his bag of cracked wheat. He tried profanity-they invaded his pork barrel. ' He Bat down in calm despair-they^ crawled up bia trousers and chewed the calmness right out of him. He dissem bled-ha, bal yes h J dissembled, and he watched. Ooo day ho saw nn ont crawl along tho top of a now empty cracker box end over on a straw lo tba. muzzle of & beer bottle near by, look down the abyss.and then drop in. The discovery was made I Tho farmer danced ? a solemn festal dance, got but . his old bottles, and waited' for night. Next morning the unsuspecting insects xo3p and i came out to disport themselves.

'Jotic try Owes ?lim. 1 When ho was first elected to the Presi dency, Gt-, Grant claims that it was by the imperative of the whole N?iion." Tho cry for him'waa ad powerful thai politicians had no power io oppose his nomination, and be was so strong that he did not requ're their support. He,was. elected by the voice of the people in ap-, position to th a politicians. Being- thus elected, it was bis aim to weaken, the power of professional politician:!, and'jil order to do BO he withdrew from the Sea?; atora who were in Congress et bis inau guration their share of patronage. Tho consequence was that he incurred the hatred of the whole tribe, and they are now opposed to his renomination, lu something of the carno way, he says, be incurred the hatred of journalists. Dur ing tho war it was bis constant object to snub them and to rofuso them any assis tance in the prosecution of their labors. The consequence of this snubbing of the press baa been, according to Gen. Grant, that almost every newspaper in the,Uni ted States has alw^vH been opposed to him. At the timo of bis re-election tho press was bitterly - hostile to him, yet he was triumphantly chosen by tho poop o, and what nos been done once can bo dp io again. If there shpuld . bo a Plob?8ci|c,: ivis the opinion of Gen. Grant and M is party that he would receive the votes of nine-tcnth:i of the American people. ; - Outside tho iivnor and power that n Third Term woiild ;imfer . on him, there aro several other re'ftvOnS'to mako Ccu. Grant anxious to obt?i i the nomination of his party. He saya ty ia ? poor man',' not even as well off aa h >' i young son,who1 is practicing law Jn New York. When ho wa? elected President bo was.obligcd to resign bis position iu tl > army, sad in consequence of the fay TO. of tho Constitution to provide a pension for an' er:President, ho now finds himself witp-: out profession or business,'' and well ad vanced in years. The proposal mudo to him to take tho, presidency of .the- com pany to bo formed to construct tho loth mus canal was tho work of politicians, who hoped by hiB acceptance bf it \6 re-, move a powerful and:dangerous candi date. Again, it will probably' ba -neft*?" s?ry. ho th in hq, to havo as tho Republican' candidato a man of tried nerve and firqi ness. When, at tue last election, tho Commission declared Mr. Hayes Presi dent, Gen. Grant took decided steps (o' have him inaugurated. His preparations' were complete to'use military forcc? tn; case the Democrats attempted to enforce the claims of Mr. Tilden ; that gentle man, .the recalcitrant Democratic ?cna-!: tors, and Mi. Randall would immediately havo been nrreatcd and imprisoned Ju Washington, and any State governments that objected would havo been beized by the military. It was tho knowledge of these preparations that deterred tho Democrats fmn any effort to capture, thc Presidency, but it required Gen. Grant to' take thean effective steps: Now Mr.. Hayes,''the present incumbent," as'Gon. Grant euphemistically terms -bim, is a very weak OTTO, and should thc number of votes for ?? eh candidato bo anything. should bo elected by a small majority, ft is not unlikely that trouble would ensue, j for the North and West would not readily submit to a Government chosen by that means. What, then, is tbo-u'Uural resuljt of ull this? In Gen..Grant'? opinion it is necessary that tho Republican c?ndlv. date'should'bo; a man wh?< will not heai! tato to .uso proper forco to obtain bia rights, and the mau who would not fcur I to order out tho military is tho candidato Who is wanted. . . . Moreover, ' as between the' different ruin* irv ri ihnfe niara between Conklingand Blaine would render either of them-a weak candidato. | abd Secretary Sherman would, bo still weaker. Tho financial policy under which ' resumption. bas. taken place ws? no .creation of Mr. &h<u ann,' and his loudly Taunted Buccess' ,r'*'.i!b entirely to the policy begun' and planned by Gen} < Grant. During the inourr heney of. Mr. Hayes, the real power hf? been in tbs b?nde of Sherman, end overy one knows how it bas been used. If any ono wanted ab office it would ba much better'to b(| refused by Hnyes.and supported by8hteiv man,, than to; bo promised an. office by Hfye? and have Sherman only a hike* .warm supporter. . ! Tho foregoiug are the sentiments ex* presecd by Grant and his companion? iii ? conversation since thej?: departure from Cuba.
