E. B. MURKAY, Editor. THURSDAY, JI I.Y J J. 1881. TERMS s ONE YEAH.?1.00. .SIX MONTHS. '?c. Two Dollar-. If out nulli III Hilvanc?!. Platt has withdrawn from thc race for re-election aa Senator from New York. He allowed Conkliug to fool him out of the Senate, but found bia friend unable to carry him back. Since the bright moonlight nights have again put in their appearance our comet baa become quite a small affair. Indeed, it would scarcely bc noticed if one ?lid not know where lo leek for it. Tho first hide of cotton of tho season ol' 1881, raised by M. Houseman ?V He Witt, and consigned to T. W. House, was received al Galveston, Texas, on Satur day 9th inst., and sold at thc Exchange on Monday for ?825 lo A. Harris & Uro., who consigned il lo Lehman Uros., New York. The heat in Chicago during the past week lins been fearful and the death rate extraordinary. On lu-.t Sunday lhere were eighty-three deaths in the city, the largest number of deaths that has ever occurred in one day in that city. Tho majority of them ire ascribed lo the hot weather. (Jonkling still holds ilia own ut Albany, despite the desperate prejudice which lina recently grown up against the stalwarts all over the country. His plan is doubt leas to carry the whole question before Hie people of New York, where lie will either bc triumphant or destroy the Re publican organization in that Stale. The shooting of President Garfield baa given the country KO much to talk about that the existence of a comet has been almost forgotten. \\j the way, it is lt liltle strange that some magician hus not nought to extenuate Guiteau's crime hy showing that he did the shooting while under the influence of un evil spell im posed on him hy the comet. Such a suggestion would he in keeping with thc views of the superstitious. The people of Spartiinhurg county have voted a subscription of seventy-five thousand dollars to the Spartnnhurg and Oreen wood Railroad, which, with tho seventy-five thousand voled in Laurena, gives them tho amount deemed neces sary to ensure tho road. The majority ia thought to he about thirteen hundred in favor of the subscription in Spartnnhurg county. The people of Spnrtanburg ure jubilant over their railroad prospects. The condition of President Garfield continues to improve. Up to Tuesday night, which waa the eleventh day, no evidence of mortification or gangrecn had appeared, and thc physicians in charge aro becoming more hopeful. They are satisfied that the ball passed through tho President's liver, and hope at thc proper time to locate and extract it without injury to the patient. The President will not bo entirely out of danger for several weeka yet, bu' each - day timi unfavorable symptom? fail to appear renders his recovery more safe. The country has cause for great gratitude to Him who controls thc isstlt of life or death. According to a trustworthy account in the Providence Journal, a member of thc Rhodn island militia, and wearing its uniform, used the following language at a militia banquet held in Newport on the Fourth of July : "I nm for assassina tion in Europe. I believe in assassina tion when and w'.-.-.o |i ?s uecded. I sanctify the acts jf the Nihilists in assas sinating the Czar of Russia, and 1 any, God bless them for it." If this hud em anated from some Southerner, the whole press of tho Republican party would have held it up as an evidence of the disloyalty and nillinuism of the South. As it is no special notico ia given it. Hy tho way, the recent violent occurrences up North may foroe our Republican friends to let us alon" and attend lo their own business. Tho Republican members of ihc New York Legislature have not been ablo to agree on candidates for the United States Senate. At first the Conkliug party wanted a caucus, but could not get it, and now tho other aide have become de sirous of having one. Sixty-eight Re publicans attendul their call for a cau cus, and nominated Congressmen Lap ham and Miller for Senators in the places of Conkling and Platt. The nomination, however, has failed to secure an election. Conkling's friends slick to him, and in the Platt vacancy they divide out be tween other candidates. The Democrats stick to Kernun and Potter, and hence there ia no election, and no probability of one soon. The dead-lock bids fair to last until after the next election for mem bers of the Legislature, when tho people will have a chance to express themselves upon it. The New York Chamber of Commerce have voted to present Mrs. Garfield with $200,000, as a tribute to her worth aud the estimation in which they .Md her, and also as a means of relieving tho President's mind of any uneasiness as to th? future maintenance of his family in case of his death. This sum is being made up by voluntarily subscriptions all over tho country in sums of five dollars or over, and it is thought tho amount raised will exceed tho sum indicated. If presented from the whole country tho evils of such a gift would not be great, but if given from a few individual.-', it might become n precedent for corruption in the future. In case of the President's death theie would bu no impropriety in the acceptance of tho token, but if ho recover it should bo rejected, unless it it comes from a very large number of contributors, so as to remove ?Miy person al imlucnce that might bo exerted in con sequence of it. If the present can be made to impuso an obligation to the public, it is unobjectionable ; but if it impose au obligation to a few men it is extremely offensive to tho purity of the civil servico of our country. For these reason* we thluk it belter that Congress should provide from the public treasury for tlie families of Presidents who may need the nation's assistance. Platt has been unfortunate, lu going to Albany to lobby for a re-election to thc Scnute, he formed the interesting ac quaintance of a fair dame, which led him to prefer room ll", at the iJclcvan House, lo his own room, X'.l. Thc; half breeds found it out, and determined lo get up a sensation against thu stalwarts that would overshadow the recent bribery disclosed against them, and to accom plish their purposes they hired the ser vants of the hotel a- ?pies lo report the movements of Mr. Platt and his /air friend. Then, hy the aid of step-ladders, they used the transom light over room 113 to accumulate their evidence, after which they proclaimed the scandal sp publicly, and with such completeness of detail, that it completely overwhelmed poor Platt, and drove him from Albany arni out ot thc race for the Senate. Re publican politicians do not hesitate to commit any crime in the decalogue. .Mr. Platt now wishes, no doubt, moro than ever thal he lind not resigned from the United States Senate. The attempted assassination of Presi dent Garfield has had a very different efleet upon the country ?rom that which was intended by the crimina, who sought to restore to power the stalwart wil.g of the party, which has lived by sectional hate and oppression. The President still lives and the indication-; are that a benef icent Providence will preserve his life for some great and good purpose which will bless this lund ami remove the sorrows and troubles which have grieved and in jured us for more than twenty years. Already there has sprung up a kindlier feeling and a closer union of sentiment anti interest between all parts of our common country, arid we have cv? ry reason lo hope lor better times ahead. God, who (Ioctl) all things well, will yet confound the evil doers <if '.ur land by bringing blessings and peace out of tho act from which they hoped to reap a harvest of discord that would aggrandize them upon thc calamities of their conn try- " If President Garfield recovers, the wretch who has committed the grievous crime that has so startled the country ami given to all classes so much of anxiety will be punished simply asan ordinary criminal under the laws of the 1 ??strict of Columbia, whose code pro vides : Suction 11 .'di. livery person convicted ol" manslaughter or ?if nt?y assault with intent to kill shall hu sentenced to sutler imprisonment and labor, for the first oiVenso, for a period not less than two nor moro than eight years, and for the second offense for u period of not less Minn six nor more than li ficen years. The shooting of a President is no greater crime than shooting a pr?valo citizen, und'the punishment for it is no greater. This is an omission in our law. An assault upon lhe President with in tent to kill is a crime of Mich heinous nature, and its consequences arc so grave, that it should be punished with death so long as tlie death penalty is indicted for any crime, for its injury to the country and to society is greater than the murder of a private citizen. Such agitators are the basest of traitors, and there is no trenson which could ho more injurious to the institutions of our government. It will not do simply to protect against sucli contingencies by providing persons to take the place of Mic President in case of his death. This should be done, of course ; but it is only a part of what should he ?lone to secure the country against anarchy. The effort to kill n President should be made a crime of such gravity ns to deter men from con templating its commission, and 'he party who commits il should be put I ejond thc power of ever attempting a sh lilar crime again. This should be done both to rid the country of the desperatu criminal anil lo afluid au example to deter others from following his example. Of course, Guiteau's case must rest upon the law as ic stands now, but Congress should enact a more vigorous provision for punishing those who seek to kill the President. Providing Agninst Aunrehy.

KHITOK: The lir.it tobacco plan l in/ and tuba? , i. factory operated in South Carolina was carried on by Maj. lt. A.

Tho failures in consequence of tho rcoont war, UH W <-ll us the roveiiue troubles, stopped lils operations In Hil* linc, and tho factory has .'mig since been dist rove I. We think Maj. Maxwell now residing in l'end loton thc best au thority in experlen?o in the culture of tobacco in upper South Carolina, and would I?- glad lo hear from him on the subject.

That tobacco is a crop that t-itii he mic ccssfitlly and profitably grown in upper South I'ttroliiiii is no ipicslloii to-ihiy. Mr. Maxwell's tobacco was sought after in preference to the I brands then tn tho market in this community. I le grew several varieties, including tim lino Spanish segur mid smoking tob?ceo, a-s well ILS thu chowing varieties;. Tobacco is also a very prolitahht crop in th..- morn mom tainoiis ami colder regions nf nur Stute, as will a- lo cultivate on new ground* that have josi boen cleared.

While it is true that tobacco is a very proliiiililu crop when properly managed, 1 should he rather slow in advising Ibo farmers ol" Anderson lo abandon cotton for tobacco to any eon .shh ralilu extent in order to diversify their crops, Tbl- reasons tire as follows : first. Tillen* i- considerable art in curing and handling tobacco that can only he learned by experience Second. In miler to cure a larne crop of tobacco, it is neces sary tu have a burn built for tho purpose. Third. There is not enough difference in tie- tu., crops in favor of the tobacco to justify the necessary expense. ..f h.irns and shilled hands to show us how tu tonnage thc tobacco crop. fourth. It docs not ni ve relief from that injudicious practice ..I' continued rlrnn culturo of lined crops that causes our cotton lands to waste and wash so badly that we can MT on every M?IIC. filth, 'lobuccn isastroiig leedor, and exhausts Ibo land more rap idly than cotton. The proof of this ex hausting power is that there is thousands ol' tracts ol' haren lauds in .Northern North < 'undina and middle Virginia that bear witness lo (hat ell'ect. 1 have seen hundreds ol' acies of bountiful lying cot ton lands in one ho.ly in Virginia which, I was told by their owners, used to lie very fertile, hut now they would scarcely pay for cultivating them, ami the greater portion of them were thrown out. This condition of their lands, they say, Was brought about hy the continuous culti vation of tobacco. The proof of this you may nee in the number of old dilapidated tobacco barns to he found on all sides. To look at tlioso dilapidated tobacco barns and the beautiful lying, once fertile, hut now haren, lands before yon, and ti? think thal man has chewed and spit out upon thc ground in waste, liiirnt and pulled mit upon the air in waste in the way nf luxury the fertility of these beautiful lands is enough lo make one shudder and wish he had never indulged in Hu* wood. However, mau will uso the weed, and will have it at almost any prit.r Hacrilloo. I predict for Bun combe, N. C., thc sumo condition as that of Northern North Carolina and middle Virginia, if they persist as they are in tho vunttnwnts ctllitivutioil of clean crops in tobacco. The cry id' these farmers who own those, haren tracts of land in North Carolina and Virginia to-day is not whothur tobacco is u moneyed or a seem ingly paying crop or not, hut it is a sim ilar cry to thal ol tho OW nora of the haren lands of South Carolina, vi/.: ''What shall we do to renovate our worn nut lands f" Tho only dlflbronco in the two States is that Virginia has ruined her lands hy the continuons culture of to bacco without a proper rotation, and South Carolina lina ruined, and in still! ruining, her land hy the continuous cul tivation of cotton and otbor hoed crops without the proper rotation. Taking this view nf tho subject, 1 would suggest that tobacco is not tho orup tu introduce in any considerable ox ton! in miler to diversify our i rons and bring in money in tho Spring and Sum mer, Ac., hut tho crops thal will bring in money at the above stated limes, and, at the sumo time, improve our lands, are the small grains, grasses and stock raising and their sources, such as wool, mutton, butter, milch LOWS, beeves, hay, Ac. 1 know of some farmers in thia county whose income fruin tho above source is much larger than their cotton crop, which insures that the lands are all tho time improving from the munuro from the stuck and tho rest the land gets while in small nruln and tho grasses. We hear a great deni about tho prosperity und good farming nf tho Now Knglnud as well as a number nf tho Northern Ni?tes. A trip through these States will show to the CHINO uhserver that the secret of their success and improvement docs not lie lu continuous clean culture ol' the ono. crup, as" is our practico, but it is in tho judi cious diversifying nf '.heir crops, in which tho gras'ses take a prominent part. You will lin.', the abomiunblo "dry lund ditches" noticeably absent, not because they would nul he of uso if they dune as wo'do-continuo your after year in the hued crops, which makes our land so open and louse that oven our best modo uf "guard drains" cannot keep thom fruin washing -hut lite small libres of tile small grain mut grass crops keeps thom ditTereiuly loose and porous, ami at tho sumo timo keeps thom from washing, nod tho shade that tho land gets in these i?talions is very beneficial tn the soil. In conclusion, I would say to tho far mer* nf Anderson that you bnvo as gund a country as Hint of Now England, and that there is no good reason why nur farms should nut he ivs rich and prodnc tive and profitable to ns as theirs aro. 1 am very suro if we would do as thov do -practico less of the "skinning farming" and rotato our crops-ail would improve ; and when we have dune mir lull duty in this lino und nur noble term nf office aa a farmer has expired, wo can consol? our selves with the good conscience nf know ing that tho "world is better nil" hy our having lived in it."

The admin istration has given a forward impulso to our prosperity which cannot he overcome for years to come. I believe tho busi ness of thc country, altera brief season of shock, would go "on as usual. While I should also deploro very much seeing lien. Arthur elevated to tue Presidency, I think, nevertheless, thal the duties of the oin, i- would h.- honestly discharged by him. Put I don't like the political associations which it would involve. I know Gen. Arthur intimately, und while I utterly disapprove of his course in Washington,and ?nore-, recently ut Alba ny, I have confidence ?ii his olhciai integ rity. I trust ( ?od that he may not como to thc Presidency, i shicoruly hope hu may not. President Jackson's INnipe, The recent attempt on the life of thc Piesident recalls a similar attack upon Audrow Jackson many years ago, which will be read with interest: "President Jackson and his Cnhinc-t were present in thc Capitol to join the two Houses in ceremonies held in honor of a deceased member of tho House from South Carolina. The ceremony had ticen concluded, and the President, accom panied by Messrs. Woodbury and Hick son, was about to step out oii tho portico, when n man emerged from the crowd and advanced towards the President. When within eight feet of him ho drew a pistol, and, aiming at tho President, pulled thu trigger before ho was aware of the man's intention. Ho pulled the trigger tw ice, and each timo it missed lire, when Jack son rushed upon his assailant ?nd dis armed him. The man was arrested, and ho gave his name as Lawrence. He eon dueted himself with the same cool indif ference that has marked Guiteau's be havior since his arrest, and gave much the same excuse, saving lld was deprived of his employment, and felt it incumbent on him to put the President out of tho way hy assassination, as lie regarded do President ns the cause of Ins own trou bles and the country's political entangle ments growing ? t of the war against tho Uni toil Slates Bank and tho South Caro lina nullifiers. Tho man was taken to jail and his history and connections sour ht out, when it was determined that ho was a lunatic on the subject and fixed in his determination to kill thc supposed author of tho difficulties mentioned. In his coll he remained tranquil and uncon cerned ns to the final result. After due legal and medical proceedings Lawrence was finally co min i I tod to an asylum." Goon MOVE.-Tho Su perin tendent of Immigration has issued tho following circular : "For tho purpose of facilitating tho introduction of Immigrants in fami lies into the State it is proposed to form clubs in each district or neighborhood, oven where tho demand is largo enough. Application w ill bo inado of from fivo to ten families.

First class men nro placed at len dollars per month and board : women and children in the Bailie proportion, or for usual wages for that kind of work. The cost is ten dol lars to Columbia for grown hands; un der five years nothing ; to twelve, years half price. This is advanced by tho de partment, and is to be provided for when tho application is made and paid hv the employer upon tho delivery ot tho immi grant at Columbia. AU such expense is to he paid and is charged against the im migrant in not less than three monthly installments. It is impossible to lill with satisfaction orders for single men and women.

All persons interested nre earnestly asked to give what assistance they can in the introduction of an important clement In to thc Statu. - Prof. Yenoor, the Canadian weath er prophet, had this to say on the 23d of June, und so far his predictions hevo been verified to n remarkahle degree : July, though probably entering in cool mid showery in most sections, will rapid ly merge into sultriness and excessive heat shortly after the uh and Sth of this month. Prom tho Sth to the huh exces sive boat will continue, with frequent and severe storms of wind, hail and thunder during which casualties from lightning aro much to he feared. Be tween the 10th and 15th of tho month similar atmospheric conditions are likely to continue, with thunder and lightning storms of almost daily occurrence and hurricanes nf heated winds, Approach ing the 20th, heavy ?.howers, often ac companied by hail, with very sultry and muggy intervals.

Here, instead of "every dog having his day," the deg has every day. The dogs claim thc soil of .South Carolina by right of priority of posses sion, and they do not inti nd tn let sheep range its pasture a! will. The Legisla ture acknowledges thc claim to he a valid one, and that is why "dog .lays" in South Carolina last al! tho year round. It is ii sort of canine hereditament with which cautious and conscientious legisla tors do not .-are t>. interfere.-Arximilon Dirpttch. - There is plenty of hurrah in Boston over the project of a world's fair, but It. M. Pillslfer, President of the Commis sion, spoke coolly as follows ; "Thercaro always men enough to shout and throw up their caps for a grand idea who can not bc depended upon to do anything else. The world's fair in I tost?n involves not only liberality in subscribing, hut hnrd work, drudgery, patience under criticism, with not many thanks for faithful service. We should not dare to estimate the amount needed at less than ?5,000,l?00. To raiso that amount of money would require something more than cood wishes and hopeful guesses." - Resistance to tho new prohibitory laws of Kansas has gone so far that while juries in tho cities refuse to convict liq uor sellers even upon the clearest evi dence, in .Mollison tho Common Council, with tho co-operation of its presiding ollicor, tho Mayor, has adopted an ordi nance providing for the granting of li censes to taverns and saloons. This action was taken in express ridicule and defiance oftho prohibitory constitutional amendment and the laws*based upon it. Tho temperance men have since then had a mass meeting, and called upon the Mayor to resign, while Governor St. John threatened to call out the militia and put the laws into execution by force of anns. All this because the population oftho enies is not willing te be deprived of its beer by tho rural population's tem perance predilections. - Afusi?n movement in tho coming Mississippi campaign, with justice to all classes, is favored by the Vicksburg Her ald. "Tho paramouut object with us," it says, "is good local rule and tho develop ment of Mississippi, and to secure thuin we want the good-will of and assistance of tho best element in both raeos. A kindly feeling between tho races will insure the success ufa fusion ticket." - itv a singular coincidence tho very last letter written by President Garfield was addressed to his opponent in the last Presidential campaign-M '.-Gen. Win field S. Hancock, lt was (fated Friday, and related to an appointment recently conferred upon Col. Mitchell, one of Gen. Hancock's aides-de-camp. It wasfriond ly and pleasant In tono and could not but havo pleased the recipient. Tho let ter informed Gen. Hancock that Col. Mitcholl had been appointed assistant adjutant-general of tho army, and after apologizing for depriving the genernl's staff of an excellent ollicor concluded : "While your stall", General, loses an or nament the army gains an assistant adju tant-general of whom it may well feel proud."_ FARM WANTED!
