BY E. B. MURRAY & CO. ANDERSON, S. C., THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 17, 1880. VOLUME XV.- NO. 49 LITTLE MOUNTAIN. The Desolate Orara of th? Kan Who Wrote the Declaration of American In dependence-Where Two Presidenta Sleep. Fetartburg ( Va.) Index-Appeal. Owing to the inability of the Govern* ment to acquire a perfect title to the ground under the act of Congres?, specially passed in the Forty-fifth Con? gross, the erection of the monument? which was authorized over the crave of Thomas Jeifcrsou, at Monticello, h aa been delayed, awaiting additional legis* J lation. The State Department bas this week addressed a letter to the proper omn. .? leo, scbmitting the defects which tue Attorney-General bas found in the title, and asking for such legislation as j will remedy them and permit the United States to proceed with the erection of | the monument. Monticello, by which tho estate of Jefferson ls known, bas been in litigation for a great many years, and has only boen settled within the past j few months by a icgnl salo.to the princi pal hoirs. 'For a 1. ag time it was aban*, doned, and the mansion remained wholly uninhabited, but it will bo at last a mat? ter of pride to the people of the entire country that the private estate has been reclaimed through private efforts, and that the grave, so long desecrated, of the I author of the Declaration,of Indepen dence is to pass under the control of the Government he was pre-eminent in form ing and perpetuating. The proposition to erect a new monu ment over tho grave of Jefferson prompt ed a. visit to Monticello. The route is' one of some six hours over the Virginia Midland Railroad from Washington, through M?noRSos, Culpeper, across the Rapidan, by Orange Court House and Gordoii?villo-mile-stones that mark the shocks of battis-to Charlottesville. At this season of the year it is a most charming journey. May in Virginia is a lovely month. The rich green foliage of tho receding spring-time is softened hy the balmy air of the coming Bummer. The meadows are luxuriant, and the wild flowers bloom in the valleys and the ninnie and the elm wave on thobUl-tcps. As tho train rolls around the edge of I tho valley of the Rivanna, just before ! you reach Charlottesville, Monticello may be seen on the "little mountain" on the left through the opening in the old trees which nearly surround it. Monti cello (pronounced os if spelled Monti chelia) is an Italian name, meaning Lit- ! tie Mountain. , The I ascent, which is about six hundred feet above Charlottes ville, is over an excellent road, over* (shadowed with wooden folds, through j which now and theu'you catch glimpses of tho beautiful country beneath that j stretches for miles till it meets the pic turesque summit' of the "Blue moun tains. \ After crossing th? notch between Little Mountaiu on the left and Carter's Mountain that rises above it on the right, the road leading to Monticello issteeper. Two-thirds of the way np and a few yards to the right of tho road in a thick ?rowth of woods ia- located tho gravo of | 'homos Jefioreon. The condition of tho grave nod the monument that marka it sro a disgrace to the American name. The location is desolate ; tbe graveyard dilapidated, and the decay all DUt com pleto. The grave mound has been these many .years leveled with the ground, while the monument bas been defaced beyond recognition. For half ^ century, the vandal-who would defy ."the peati-. lenee that?walk&th at noonday'' to carry on his work of destruction-has chipped and hewn the edges of the shaft from base to apex, which now locates the heap of the grave, till it looks as if it had been placed there rough from he quarry. It | wan originally a coarse granito obelisk, about nine feet high, on a base threo feet square, designed with its inscriptions by Jefferson himself, and erected Boon after his "death. 'Tho legendary tableta of tho past" .Were Utterly obliterated by the defacement with the single exception of tho words in bloek letters at the base : . 1v^?^S0^^HM^? : Died July 4,1825. . *.# Tho full epitaph .which Mr. Jefferson wrote; and a rough poa and ink sketch of | a .nonuniout for himself, wore found in a j ?ri vale drawer shortly after bis, death, t was to be an obelisk of granite, eight feet high (it appeared to be a little over j nine feet, and to bear the following in scription : a.?.... ?4. .?*..;....* ; HEUE WAS BUBI ED . THOMAS JEFFERSON, j Author : OF THE DECLARATION OF VIRGINIA FOR RELI- \ : GIOUS FREEDOM. AND j : FATHER OF THE UNIVER* . : BITY OF VIRGINIA. +...?. Tho inscription for thc base waa to bo : * . e UU.1 ?V??- St-** V j ? X/ILU ... , His wishes were fully carried out, tho ] blank in the last line having boon filled with "July 4,1828." In an old pocket account-book of 1741, among, other; memoranda in Jefferson's! band-writing, was the following selection or a burial place : "Choose some unfrequented vale in the park, where ls 'no sound to break the stillness bnt a brook, that bubbling winds among tho weeda ; , no. mark of human aban?: ?hat bas been; there unlessjtu| j ekelatdeV WUSOtBftJ J*0& Stretch,. .who ! sought tba> place out (o;despair and1 die in.'.

Atoll pine) ?fravh?g lu:the breeze, u81nging old Songs wltn how ?iadno?si?" waa the only sound. The graves, of which there are thirty besides" that of Jefferson, are partly surrounded by an old brick wall about .ono aundrea feet square amt eight or ton feat high, with high, rust-eaten iron gates, wide enough' to admit a carriage, on the north end ?rest sides. On tbs'south the entire wall |N level with the ground, anrl ott the west a portion has fallen. Within the.inclos* ure. as stated, everything is the,picture of desolation and decay. With tho ex ception of two or" three marble slabs, which mark tho graves of-'edme of Jef fcr.-son,?.descendant?? buried as late ss ten years ago, there ia not oho that is not cracked or defaced, overgrown with the wrtds or oui o? Hw placav It la half covered with'rank waco* and lo MC stones Mid bricks. On the.wes? wall tho "Vir ginia creepers" aro struggling to grow out of .the plate before they put on the scarlet tinta ol' the autumn," and within the bloom of a single bush of aglantine | only, relieves the decay which meet ono I at every step. There ls no . trace whatever of tho grave of Mrs. Jefferson, which was about the first interment, and which was lo cated by the side of tho obelisk of Jef ferson. He survived ber forty-four years. In 1841 this grave and its slab of white marble were visible with tho sim* pie inscription : "Martita Jefferson, born in 1747 O. 8. Intermarried with Thomas Jefferson January 1, 1772; torn from him by death September 6, 1782: this monument of love is inscribed." On the other aide of the obelisk the slab cover ing the grave of Jefferson's oldest daugh ter ia partially legible. What is missing is in brackets : "M. A. E.-[Martha Jefferson Ran dolph, eldest daughter of Thomas Jeffer son, boru September 27-(1772). Inter married with Thomas Mann Randolph February 28, 1790, Died October 10, 1836. Bh? possessed a strong and culti vated * * * mild and gentle tem per ; warm, affectionaate * * and self-sacrificing in all ber duties. This is ii dight mark of the love borne by ber son, Thoa. Jefferson Randolph." The latter, the first grandson of Thomas Jef ferson, died but a few years ago. (He was President ia .1872 of the National Democratic Convention, which met at Baltimore.) He was present when Jef ferson died, and furnished Mr. Ran dolph, his biographer, an interesting ac count of Jefferson's last momentB. From him it ls learned that Mr, Jef ferson had no funeral. It was bis wish that bis interment should be private and without parade of aoy kind, and no. notice of the hour of intermeut nor invi tations were issued. His body was borne down the mountain side from bb resi dence by a little procession of bis family and servant?, but nt tho grave his friends and neighbors had gathered in a drench ing rain to pay their last tribute of affec tion. Tho burial service of tho Episcopal Church .was read over the remains at tho grave. Mr. Jefferson was invited to tho city of Washington on tho 4th of July the day on which he died-to join in the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of American independence, bV? ho declined, on account of ill health, though anxious, aa he said, to see his "ancient neighbors" in that ci tv. ' In bia last days Jefferson wrote to Madison: "Take core of,me when dead, and be assured I shall leave with you my last affections." Although Mr, Randall tells us that this probably referred to a defense of bis political life it ban appeal, now partially heeded, to the American people to save from further desecration this "temple of silence and reconcilia tion.". Monticello iUelf, at the time of our visit, waa in possession of a tramp. When wo reached the hill top from the graveyard and walked to tho front of the mansion, an old man in raga sat balf asleep in the sun on the portico. He aroused himself at the barking of a half fed dog, and greeted its gruffly with : "Do you want to see old man Jefferson's house, gentlemen!" We answered. "Then it will cost yon t venty-fivo cents apiece." Tho money v?as paid, .a chain across'tho main door was unlocked, it swung open, and we entered a spacious &L"t.e-ball. The appearance of decay in bb "earthly habitation" was hot so great as we had been led to believe, but waa not tho desecration in keeping with that down the mountain slope? The home of Thomas Jefferson in possession of a tramp 1 Who could believe this nnlcss ho had seen it. Yet inquiry proved this to be the literal fact. . This old man bad sat himself down there without authority from any one and levied admittance to Monticello, where Washington and Mad ison and Lafayette had been welcomed 1 The description of tho bouse is possibly roo well known to requiro one here. It stands on the very apex of the mountain, and was formerly surrounded by orna mental grounds and is now half embow ered in trees. It ba long brick structure of a lofty balustraded Bingle story,, sur mounted by a dope with porticos front and rear. Ono of Mr. .Jefferson's idto syncracics was a fondness .for : architec ture. . Wbilo the ball was largo and the rooms spacious, the stairway was so nar row as to bo uncomfortable to a Btout person, ip, d' quite'in contrat to the stair ways of that date at Mount Vernon and ! Montpelier. Tho hall opened into an I octagonal dining room with ulidiug glass folding doors with a finish that looked modern. Tho second floor was cut tip iuto all kinds of inconceivable bedrooms owing to the form of the house. ' In the domo there was one room used for danc ing parties, and at other times as a draw ing-room. In all of the bed-rooms there were dark, narrow alcoves for tho beds, which were partly a fixture in tho walls. There were here and there odd places of furniture, and an old carriage, Vilich be longed, to Jefferson : but "tho maible and brescia tables, French mirrors and handsome sofas" which adorned the bouse with'tho Btatucry and paintings have geno long ago. . Tho view from Monticello is magnifi cent. For fifty miles on the left, till tho scene ia molted into the haze of the nine Ridge .to Willis mountain on the right, forty miles distant, there is ono vost sea of v?rd?o "stretched out liko av map" under th? feet." Tbero may be" moro beautiful viewo, but they must bo raro very rare from an eminence suitable for a dwelling placo. Montpelier-Tho Gravo of Madison. Tb*) condition of the grave and menu? ment of James Madison is quito in con trast with that bf Jefferson, Tho county LBeat of Madison b Montpelier, Sn Orange County, Va., about four miles' frota Orango Station, on the Virginia Midland Railroad, and about . sixty miles from Monticello. 'Some minutes before the grand old mansion, is reached, tho granite obelisk over Madison's grave is vbiblo through the fielda half a milo to the tight of tho house. It ia located in a large field, and inclosed . with a substantial brick wall, quits one1 hundred feet square and five feet in height* On the cast Bide there ls a small plain iron gate, with the words in iron letters : .Eli?ffi'i>.<..* MADISON, 1820. . ...-;... ???

Madapa succeeded to it si a child; and it l?wks to-day moie like one j of those country scats in England which bare been banded down from generation to generation, than tho former residence of the "expounder of tho Constitution." Though the scenery ls Got so grand nor so ei'.msive aa at Monticello, Montpelier is nevertheless a most attractive place. The house ls large and plain, though flanked with bande?me columned por ticos. "Tho region," says au old writer, "is ono where nature has ahod, in great beauty, the softest picturesque of hill and dale, forest and glade. At banu in the rear rises, as if to ?doro the prospect with; bolder contrasta, tbe gracefully wr.ve.ing chain of tho southwest moun tains, to fence on one aide the vale of Orango and Albemarle, cn whose south? eastern edge of nodding woods end green fiolr*.? Montpelier lie? embosomed and embowered ; while on the other pide, in the airy distance, beyond that vale, tower in fantastic Hues the.blue peaks of the long Apalacbain, range, breaking the horizon as if to form another and more fanciful one." Decoration Day at Bean fort, 8. 0. The graves of tbe soldiers buried in the National Cemetery at Beaufort were decorated with flowers, on May 31, with imposing ceremonies. Several visiting military companies took part in tba cele bration. Major D'. T. Corbin was the orator of the day, and made a speech re viewing the causes of the war, which be concluded as follows : "To you I would address a few words of admonition and advice. Yon have at great cost of blood and treasure been made free, aud clothed with all the rights of citrous. As stich you participate, on equal ternis, with your white fellow-citi zens in all the functions of government. When viewed, as they should be, these in a Republic like ours are high and im portant trusts. They involve in their exercise matters of the greatest possible concern and consequence I have sbown you to-day with what terrible conse quences a mistake or wrong,- incorpo rated into tho Constitution of 1787, was attended. Let that illustrate to you how important are your privileges and duties in connection with the functions of gov ernment. Had not slavery been recog nized and protected In the National Con stitution ot 1787, nt the instanco of the fioliticiana of Georgia' ind South Caro ma, you would probably never have been born slaves and the war of 1861 would never have been fought. "The lesson J would' have you learn, first and above ul others, ls to be right ia all your political faith and doctrine ; and, second, in your selection of men to represent you in office you choose none but men of the highest intelligence and the purest and best character. Yon owo this to the Nation that bas, at such fear ful cost, freed and enfranchised- you nnd made you citizens. You owe it to your selves and to each other. You owe it to your white fellow-citizens, among whom ?ou have your home and dwelling place. pou owe it as a debt of gratitude to those choice spirits, who for forty years, tb rough evil ana good report, bearing all things, hoping ail things, ' in peril by sea and land, pioneered your cause and struggled on in your behalf while you knew them not, till your cause wa? won and you wero free. But I have done. I have bad no desire to mingle politics with the solemnities.of this occasion, but nimply to ceizo tho moment to enforco n truth and draw a lesson, profitable to all. Tho little mounds and head-stones before us admonish us that life, at most, is short is but the ante-chamber of death." Ex-Congressman Smalls read a letter from ex-Governor Chamberlain acknowl edging an invitation to be present on Decoration Day, and saying "it is impos sible for me to accept, but I am much obliged for the invitation. The day you propose to celebrate suggests the most patriotic mcEoriPs. Its lesson and voice is political freedom under the . Constitu tion nnd Union for all men. Till the day shall arrive whin every man in our country shall-enjoy the ballot without molestation or fear, tho heroes of our great wars should be- our monitors and guides in the battles of esr day." .

A SLAVE PRINCESS, Tho Strenge Story of ? TUemarkabl*? Adret** tare*? Borah WlUon'e Wand erins:*-How * Convict Stave Impersonated m Ilareh? tonvis. New York ikening Pott. ? It ?os a common practica in some of tbs American Colonies to sell white per son? into elavety for a limited number of years, but it was not common to term this sort of servitude slavery, although it was such to all intents and purposes. The {?arson sold was called a servant, and the ndenture that bound bim or ber during the period of servitude gave tbs master complete control over' bis servant, with tho right to punish bim severely for any offence, or to hunt bim down if he attemp ted to escape from bondage. Some <>f the old laws of Virginia under this head were harsh in tho extreme, and if they were rigidly enforced, as we may presume was tho case, hard, indeed, must bave been the lot of any bond-servant who in? curred the displeasure of bis master. Tho source from which many servants of this kind were obtained was the courts of England, whore it was customary to transport to America prit oners who bad been convicted of offene? not punishablo by death, but who were too great offenders to bo kept at home in overcrowded jails. They were accordingly shipped to the colonies and were sold for a limited num ber of yetis, usually seven. An an nouncement like that which follows, which appeared in the Pennsylvania Gazette os fate os July 28, 1784, was at one time very common : "Just arrived from Londonderry, in the brig Pe'ggy, Capt; Stewart, a number of fine, healthy men and women sorvants, and some small boys, whose times are ti? be dis posed of to the best bidders by r'.ie cap? tain, on board, or by Campbell & Kines? ton, on t!>3 wharf." A convict sont to this country in 1771 created a sensation, and so extraordinary was her career that ber name has found a place in history. It is true that where it appears in tho records of the times it is but a bare mention ; but the dozen or twenty ?ines given to ber In Doran'? "Lives of tho Queens of England of the House of Hanover," shows that her ad ventures in America wero tho subject of discussion, perhaps of mirth, in the draw ing rooms of Queen Charlotte. In that brief outline there aro a few errors. - Tbe story, as I have been able to gather it from different sources, is OB follows : In August, 1770, n woman who bad no bus inessthere found ber way, by means of the private stairs, into the apartments of Queen Charlotte. Entering the room in which the Queen and tho Duchess of Ancaster were sitting she took a survey of everything there with the greatest composure. The Queen and the Duch ess were too much alarmed to expel hor ; but at length tho Duchess bad the pres ence of mind to ring' the bell, which brought apago, who with difficulty forced the intruder to retire. But little more waa thought of this piece of presumption j but a. short time after tho affair the Queen's apartments were again entered and this time a cabinet was broken open and robbed of valuable ju weis and a min? tature of the. Queen. The thief proved to be a 'woman named Sarah Wilson, tbe maid of the Hon.' Miss Vernon, eis< ter of. Lady Grosvenor? and .who wat probably the same woman who hod pre vioualy entered the apartments. She wai apprehended and tried and condemned to death ; Dui through the influen?a ? her mistress the sentence was commut?e to transportation to America, there to bi sold for a period of seven years-a Btej that created Bor e stir in London', "bi there were persons who complained tua In this way the gallows had been cheat ed. y ?lu 1771 Sarah Wilson, sent out in i convict ship, landed in Maryland, when she was exposed "for sale ana was bough by William Duvall. of Bush Creek, Fred eric County, to whom she waa legally bound for the stipulated term of years D avail took her to his residence, when she remained in -his service apparentl; contented, till an opportunity offcrei to make good her escapo. From Busl Creek she found ber way into Virginia and passed through North Carolina t< South Carolina, where Bho. felt that,sh bad prit to? wide a strip of country be tween herself and her master to render : return to slavery, probable. With q< fear of arrest to h?uri ber, she aasumei tho title of the Princess Susanna Caro Una Matilda, and assented' that abe wa a sister of the Queen. The rich*ncs? c some of ber apparel, ber jewebi and th minaturo of tho Queen gave color to he i statement; which wasgenerally beiievee Haring gained ? footing, she travelle from plantation to plantation, assumin the air of royalty, and with so much di/, nity that many persono thought they wei honored when they were permitted to kit her hand. To all persons who foun their way into her presenco ?he was gn cious, and liberal in tho promise of favo from her own hand and from that of h< royal sister. One woman was to bave place near ber person ; a man was to 1 at the head of a regiment ; some pereoi were to bo honored .with prcformoata 1 the treasury, while others were to be a signed to nrominoot positions in the ara end navy.

This waa almost the last move of Sarah Wilson, for before the year was out she was again lot the hands of Duval!, who took ber back to Maryland to serve out uot only tho remainder of her time, but also an additional number of years, which waa always a part of the penalty for at tempting to run away. Before b *r days of bondage were over ibo storm of tho devolution broko over tho country, and in the whirlwind that followed we lost trace of the woman and her history.

Tho iewds, wben they pass ed from her bands, were soon lost sight of, but what became of the miniature?

In a few days more the tho cousus maa will take his book under his arra and start out to rnsks his mark on this de cade. Under tho new law they have a legal right to ask about COO questions,; but there ls auch a thing os acens?a man going too far. It is well' en??gh fer de fenseless familjes to know where the Uno is drawn. No census man has a right to disputo a woman when shogives ber age. Under the law he can elevate bis eyebrows and Exclaim: "Did you evert" when a fe male supposed to bo 45 returns her ago at 32, bat he must atop right there. Ho may Wonder to himself where on earth the grandmothers. of this country bavo suddenly '/lipped to, but he musn't woc. dor to you. I , No census man has a legal right to ?ask a WQiaau ifeho ia living with her first, second or third hu?band.or whether she quarrels more with the third than the first. The law supposes every family to bo living in peace and harmony, ana the United States government never' takes any notice of a family row brought on by the hired girl being kissed in the dark? Uuder the law, no ceii?ua-takcr bas any right to ask a wife- how many eve nings in a week her husband is out after ll oclock, or what is tho subject of her remarks when ho slips in at tao oidedoor. Thia great and glorious government has always be?n conducted on ibo. prin ciple ihot clubs,,Iodide j and societies were a part of its foundation. . The law does not specify that tho cen sus man sholl ask a wife if she couldn't bavo done better by waiting for a second offer. This information is supposed to be cheerfully volunteered, and is marked with a big red"X" to signify, the offi cial's belief that if she hadn't accepted', the offer sho did she would bavo died an old maid. A baby with the measles counts just aa much in law as one galloping around barefooted in the - front door-yard, j Tba law requires the census taker to remark that your baby is tho handsomest ono in tho ward. If he neglects to do SQ he ahonld be called beck. . For. tho benefit of wives who do. their own housework ana are ashamed to have it known, bianka are furnished with a ho?dfcg which reads: "Ia generally in the habt,of keeping four servants, but has lust given her help a vacation."

Colton Piantis*; to bo Kevolutionlaed ?nd th? Orovrth of . ?ho Plant StimuintedV Cu'phnric Acid (be Potential Agent, A discovery destined, in tho opinion of Gen. Le Doc, to be of more valus to tho South than anything that bsa been previously done by the Agricultural De partment, baa been made in relation to the planting of cotton. A question bs?* lng- arisen as to the situation of tbs ell cells in colton seed, the matter was ro f""*rod to tho microscopist, Prof. Thomas /lor. He found a aeries of oil colls uenr tho outer surface, and another row immediately surrounding tho obit of sar, mtnatlng point evidencing tho completo ?rotectlon which, thc latter received, his fact led Prof, Taylor to experiment, with a view to ascertaining the amount of resistance offered to tho attacks of agents generally supposed to bo of a de* ?tractive nature to all organic life. ID trying saipburic seid, which bad been previously used In a diluted form to ag? gi uti nato the cotton adhering to the seeds, so is to facilitate the expression of the oil. be found that acid or tho oom* merdai strength completely removed thia without visibly effecting tho OJter brown shell. To test the actual effect on tho germinating property, ho banded some of tho seea thus treated and after wards washed to Mr. Saunders, who planted it. To the surprise of every one except; Mr. Taylor, who had foreseen this result if tho germ had not been de stroyed, tho eocd carno up at least five days earlier than that in ila natural ?tale. To ascertain whether this might not bo owing to tho soaking the seea received, some was kepi for several. months tutu then plauted at tho same time with seed of the same crop unprepared. The samo results followed, skowlrg' vthe action*'of tho acid in removing the adherent colton to have boon tho. same as performed .by n aturo, viz : the con version of tho ?roy Is?, ceoua or,starchy colluloso into glucose.' Prof. Taylor's theory as to tho netl?h of tbo corrosivo acid being arrested tempo rarily,on contact with tho ligneous collu loso of tho shell,, proved, to have been correct. The advantage to planters in having five or six Jays start can scarcely be overestimated,, whether availed of in avoiding early frosts or raising early cot? ton, for which premiums oro, offered by oovcral c?tt?ii beards in tbo South. Bnt tb!? is not said to be tho principal houe? fit conferred by tho discovery. Hitherto cotton planting has had to be done by hand and tho seed sown broadcast, owing to tho adherent cotton preventing the 8?cd being used in the planters for corn and other clean seed. After preparation th? seed can bo used in any planter.- and by tho regularity qf growtlt resulting, tho subsequent cultivation greatly facili tated.' The mode of preparing'the seed, which lt ia understood will be patented, is as follows : The seed is placed in au earthen or glass vessel, and ordinary sub phuric acid poured over ec no to com pletely cover lt. It is then stirred until the brown shell is left free from cotton, The acid ls poured off to be used again, and the soca washed until all acidity dis* appears from, .tho water and dried. A large quantity is to be thus prepared and distributed 'among cotton planter? foi next season. The add,-after it has he como saturated or exhausted, Is to bo ex perimented with to ascertain whcthei the; glucose cannot bo recovered. Es p?rimants are also to bs instituted witt a view to ase ittain the practioabilty o the! procese i*- applied to seed; plow o; germination, tuen as that of tko palm which take three years to sprout.
