Talcott, of Rielimoud, the General Superintendent of the associated railways of the Carolina* a:.d Virginia, t.'ol. Fry, Superintendent of the Col u in Kia iv Greenville Railroad, aud Me^sn?. Soutiigate and Hesso, Civil Engineers, went to Walhalla, and are no? engaged ir, verifying the surveys of the old Blue Ridge Railroad by Stump liou-e Moun tain. The Clyde syndicate, the owners . >( the associated railways, have pur .-hnscd the line beyond Knoxville Emory Cap, on tho Cincinnati Southern Bond, under a guarantee to complete it in two years, so that if they should de? termine to build the Blue Ridge Kail road, we may expect to see it tunning through in less than two yearn from Charleston to Emory Cap. These g< tlcnieu now control a line to Charleston from Columbia t<> Sumter, over the W., i . A. li. II., thence over an unfinished link, called thc Central Road, from Sum ter tu some point on the Northeastern Railroad, thence to Charleston. Thia Road will soon be completed, and will bc as short a* the present line from Colum bia m Charleston These gentlemen, therefore, will not be unlikely to take ?real interest in Charleston as a port, and it is not unlikely that they may want the through ?in?? to trie West by way of the obi Blue Ridge. Of course, nothing i- certain about the intentions of railroad men, but they may rest assured that thc people of Anderson and Oconee, and, indeed, of the whole State, feel a great interest in the completion of the nhl Bim? Ridge route, winch would bo to the State a source of inestimable pros perity and development. - F AHM EU'S" lt LOW AT THE LIEN LAW. Our correspondent upon the lien law presents a strong argument upon the evils of the credit system under the name of the lien law. Now, if his argument is intended to justify and advocate the de struction of credit to all poor men, then he is right to advocate the repeal of the lieu law. We cannot, however, consent to tho withdrawal of credit from any class of citizens, because some of them do not uso that credit in the manner which we tvould think bot. Such a withdrawal of credit now, would lead to very general distress next year, which would certainly unsettle the country to an alnrming extent. The fact that Georgia ha? no lien law does not call for t'.ie repeal of the law here. Persons have thc right in Georgia hy note of hand to waive the homestead, which can only be done here by the expensive and cumbrous system of mortgages. The lien law here is merely an accompaniment of the homestead, to restore to a man of small means the credit which the h?rne st-ad virtually takes away from him. It is the South Carolina system, and is not without its CA ?ls. It is, however, so inti mately connected with thc credit of the poorer class of our citizens, that it is impossible to repeal it suddenly without great agricultura', damage to the State. Its repeal now would produce a crisis which would drive hundreds of our la borers from the State. It would bc viewed as chi's legislation, and would check for years the now increasing tide of immigration, and worst of all it would produce an antagonism between capital and labor, which would prove detrimen tal to the Interests of both. The law can only be safely repealed by allowing one cr two years in which to recover from the present distress before thc repeal goes into effect. Thc repeal of the lien law would not benefit farmers who rent out their lands, for it would leave them without any se curity for their rents. As it is now, the rent of land is very sure to be paid. Without this law every judgment against a tenant could be levied to defeat the claim for rent, unless each farmer goes to thc trouble and expense of taking a mortgage, properly drawn and recorded, so far as it affects crops over the value of the homestead. Under this exemption, neither the claim of any creditor nor of the landlord for rent could reach the tenant. In our opinion, the repeal of the law will injure four men where it benefits one. In the shadow of death which rests over tho White House, the country has for thc past two weeks looked most care fully and with mo3t anxious interest to the vice-President and the probabilities of the government under his administra tion, should the present head of the gov ernment be removed by death. In view of so great a calamity, it is a source of no little assurance to find the ability, prudence, patriotism and good common sense of Gen. Arthur highly commeuded by such meu as Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, Gen. Hancock, Senators Beck, Pugh and others, in whoso opinion the country has the most unlimited confidence, it wa; a great blessing to the country for tbe President to live so long, even if ho shall ultimately die, for the dread of a politi cal revolution has been assuaged, and thc Vice-President would now come into office under much more favorable circum stances than he could pc-asibly have done had the President been killed immedi ately by the assassin's bullet. Gen. Ar thur would, it is confidently stated, carry out the wiso and conservative policy begun by Presiden* Garfield, and would j earnestly strive to give the couutry al term of peace and prosperity, whicb would render bim very popular. lie is j thoroughly identified with the business j interests of New York, and they are so < ultimately connected with lue business I of ibo whole country, that they cannot be protected from liam: except by main- ; taining the prosperity of the whole i cou-.try. Ano.lier reason why ?ion Arthur would be conservative in hN action* i*. ! that he belongs tu the faction of the Ko- | publican party which h.u been warring upon the President in ouch biner mari ner as to furnish the insane iinpuUe which nerved the disappoint! Guilt eau to attempt the President's life. Indeed, the would-be assassin stated that he coin- j milted the deed to make Gen. Arthur President, and the country has not been at si! reticent in the expresi?n of opiii* ' ion as to i!ie assassination A perfect slorin of ?ndiguatiou ha- bun vented upon lill- darkes', deed in mr history, and upon tile causes which induced it. The methods of the stalwart'1! have been overwhelmingly condemned, and < ??. u. ? Arthur would only damage Iii- reputa- j lion and popularity by furthtr pursuing! them. There i- very little doubt that his position in th.. Kepublicau party j would only tend tb render him conserva tive aud prudent. There i-.. therefore, no probabiliy that the country will ?.;?.- j tain any serious injury, even if President ? Gai tu id should not recover. 11.\ v KA its tv TH K vt in KN miso*, j Lew:-* Ii. Hvdmond, the "moonshiner," j wa- arraigned for trial before the United - States: District Court in Greenville on1 Thursday last on ten different charges, i lo all i i' which he plead guilty, tieri. A. C. Garlingtou and Isaac M. Bryan, sou of .Judge Bryan, before whom he was 1 tried, were Ilia attorneys, and doubtless | advised him to thi-> course. He was -en- j teuced by the Court on Monday last. I Thc Greenville A- .?. gives the following ' synopsis of Judge Bryan's remarks in ! pronouncing the sentence : Jud^ Uryan, addressing tho prisoner, i ?aid t' him that ho had approached judg ment when any possible rest-ritmo nt ?tr indignation that might have existed against bim had parsed away. The Gov erntneut had brought bim there, but lhere was no agent of the Government with any sentiment of vengeance against liiui. It w:ts impossible that offenses rising to thedignity of his the tram piing on th?' law -involving his country in tu mult ami turmoil-leading others in of fen.se? for which they had endured pun ishment- it was impossible that these should be overlooked or that tho law should sluinlter while th'ir perpetrator was at lari_'t'. It was necessary to Justice that ono who had so offended should not escape S:;-h immunity would have been u proclamation of licence, und injus tice lo those who had already suffered for their deeds. It was indispon* iblo that itu- Government should follow and allow nothing to sheller hint-that ho ba brought so that others could profit hy his correction and take example from his pun ishment. Judge Hrynn then proceeded lo say that all of th? pleas in tho pris oner's favor had hoon present to thc mind and heart of th?) court. He hail considered tho circumstances surround ing him, his youth, aud thu influence upon him of u very vicious public opin ion. He had received tho support of that opinion expressed by the press, and been made to believe that u mun engaged in illicit whisky traille was a hero. He had sinned, however, with knowledge, and while his youth was a plea for him ho had been (dd enough in mind and courage to make himself the centro and source-the nerve and sinew -of rebellion against tho Government. The court had no sentiment towards him but ono of compassion, as lie wns brought before it wounded, helpless, captive, with the band lie liad led broken and repentant. Its mind had gone as far towards mercy as n faithful servant of the law could. Tho sentence of the court was then nn nounnced: For the "Gary raid," three years im prisonment, and a tine of $500. " For the "Barton raid" the .-.uno. For each of tho eight Revenue cases, six months imprisonment. In response to a question from a re porter of the .V ir*, Redmond said : "It's way yonder more than I thought, for I never expected mor n three years." He said, also, that he could not pay the fines imposed. Poor Iiedmond ! THE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION. Thc following are tho regulations pre scribed by the committee in charge for representation in thc Temp?rance Con vention to be held in Columbia ott thc '27th of September : 1. That tho Grand Division of Mons of Tempor?neo of South Carolina bo re quested to take such action at their ap proaching meeting as to insure a lilli representation from tho order throng..* .it the State in a Convention of thc- friends of prohibitory legislation, to bc held in Columbia on the27th day of September next. 2. That ? similar request is hereby made to the Grand Lodge of I. O. G. T~, or in tho interval of the meeting of ?.aid Ixidge. then that the Grand Worthy Chief Templar and Kzecutive Committee ot said order be requested to give effect to this request. it. That ?he women's Christian Tem perance Unions be requested to appoint at lea-st two repr?sentatives from each Union to represent them in said conven tion. 4. That the clergy of the State be re 3 U cs ted to select from each congregation two representatives to said convention, the certificate of such clergy men to be regarded as n Rn Alci?n t credential for such representatives. ">. That the citizens of each County bc urged to call County conventions for ihe purpose of electing delegate? to said eon? rention, the basis of representation to be the same as that in the Legislature of the State. The fund for Mrs. Garfield and her :hildren has reached up to this time rl2?r>,000, which has boen invested in United States four per cent, bond*, and placed in the hands of thc United StAtes TVnat Company ar. t:i-.-tcc, to bold and pay over the interest to Mrs. Garfield luring her life, and then to tro to the President's children. The fund is to be iugmented to $200,000, and is so fixed that neither the President nor Mrs Gar ald can touch the principal, the int?r ?t only going to her during her lifetime, [f she should refuse to accept the int?r ?t, it is to accumulate for the children, ffhose interest in the <*und cannot be aken away by the acceptance or rejec ion of it by Mr*. Garfield. If ihe Ptesi ient should recover it is not improbable hat she will decline the money, for her ense of propriety would scarcely permit he acceptance of a gift which might rr.barrans her husband in his official ac ion at some future time. In that event I will remain for the children, who will e made quite comfortable by it, it they bould receive nc estate from other sour es. It may bc that Mrs. Garfield will nly decline the money during the life f her husband, leaving herself at libeity > accept it hereafter, should bis life be jortcued by the pain and suffering be as endured in consequence of his ou nd. tin Monday morning when tho prison er* convicted in the U. S. District Conn at iifl recent session in Greenville were brought before the Court for sentence, District Attorney Melton said that he regretted to ?earn that in Anderson, Picketts, Greenville, ? ?conee and Spar tanburg, it had been the custom to allow larger liberty :<> prisoners convicted in the United States Court? than to those of the State Court?. United States pris? oners being sometimos allowed, ai had appeared from testimony on the btaud, to go outside the jail entirely lt was possible that thc Sheriff- nf tho; IOU li lies might explain matter-! Thc ."-hoiit! of Greenville had explained it consis tently with hi? duty, and bc was V?TJ confident from the known chat acter of that officer ami Iiis assurances, that lax discipline would rijt be permitted in the future Ile moved that all tho prisoners sent t" jail- jn this State be sent tu Spartanhiirg 01 Greenville. Ho selected Spartauburg because the jail there was 1-troiig; and the Sheriff a man who knew ? would do hi- duty. He distinctly asked that no prisoners bc Sent to A ri der-.a, (Jennee or PickciH. The Dis trict Attorney must have been misin* formed s- tho libcrtic? allowed 1". S. prisoner? by t?.< Sheriff of Anderson County. It is not true that he allows them greater liberties than State prison er- Tue sentences of thc- C.S. Courts ar-- as rigidly enforced a? those of the State Court*-. Never h.?? a inure heroic struggle for ?b- oren made than the one now being made in the White ?louse by President Garfield. With a wound which is gen erally fatal, and the extremely ".t:r2\ui ablc turn his ease bas taken, it is perfect ly wonderful that he should have sur vived so long Nothing but the great moral courage ami indomitable will power of the man could have sustained the conflict for life so far, and nothing short of a providential intervention in behalf of the brave contestant can carry him safely through the impending crisis. Tnere is something touchingly beautiful about the life ol the President. His de votion to his homo tics, his pure anil child like faith in God, and hit linn de termination to recover in this gravt crisis, rentier his thc mont remarkably public life this country bas produced Garfield deserves a better fate than tt die of an assassin's bullet. The Chicago Time*, tho best authority on the Western crops, publishes foil re ports from the grain centers, and an nounces as ?ts conclusion that tho crop o corn this year in the United Stales wii not quite equal the crop ?d' last season which wu- an exceptionable* fine t?ne but that an average crop will be gather cd. Tho increased acreage will mab good the injury from droughts am freshet*). The late rains have set in, ant the corn yield in the West will be mud better than was expected a few week ago. This is gratifying information, fo if wo do not make good crops ourselve we are glad to know that other peopl will. It will keep any ono from -tan ing, and oven further still, it will in groa: measure keep down the price t corn. The only misfortune for ou people will bc tho lack of money wit which to buy. The commission charged with the leas of the Cincinnati Southern Kailroa have received the bills for lease, and ur now considering them with a view to th financial and commercial advantage each will afford the city. The Cole syn diente and the Louisville und Nasbvill are the strongest competitors. The lal ter offer the most money, but the accej taner of their bid means n restoration t monopoly in the Southern trade of Cir cinnati, to break up which tho Cincir nati Southern was built, at un expens of ?20,000,000. It i-, therefore, prob; hie that the lease will be awarded ft twenty-fivo years to the Cole syndicat) which will certainly be of commerci: advantage to Cincinnati and to th Southern States. We, therefore, wie Col. Cole succesi. The country is not so generally in bsd fiuancial condition as those visite with very short crops would imagiui The exports of the United States for th past twelve mouths, ending July 31, ea ceeded our imports by ? 171,TOO,l?t which means that this country sold ? other countries that much more than bought from them. The result of this ; that European gobi is coming to th :ountry to pay off these debts, and th short crop?? of this year will probabl lot bc sufficieut to overcome this advar tage on our part, and even for the ne* rear tho balance of trade will be in ot ravor. There are oo indications of an hiug like a general crisis next year. lt is rumored that ex-Senator Conklin viii seek a vindication of his recent a< ion by running for Secret.-.ry of State i he ensuing New York election. This i he highest office to be elec 1 this yea >y the people of that ' , and h irgues that such an electio.i would agai >ut him at the head of the party m? thine in New York. In the even, of the President's death t is expected that Plaine aud McYeag viii retire from the Cabinet.

And yet tl.ere are persons who will :<.!! tie- farmer-, it i the best you can do. Lieu to me for your su).plie- at about psi per emt profit aver age, or whatever prie..- my own interests may dictate. It" tho farmer demurs at any of the prices indicated, he is met with the reply, it is the Lest ym eau do. i'l. ase inform the fanner what is the ? er .ont. upon ?i bushel of corn, purchased in-Lily or August, on :i three months' .redit, at $1.23 per bushel, when the cash price is only 7 ? cents per bushel ? And .u through the w bolo catalogue of the necessaries of lite. And HO when the end if tho year comes, the poor farmer, after paying* all those lion-, in a moiety ?>f 'os, has nothing lett to pay the black smith, nothing to pay the mechanic who repahs his wagon or inundshischildren's shoes, nothing for the doctor who admin isters to his >ick w ife or chi'd, nothing for tho poor behool teacher ?'.ho educates Iiis children, and, worse dian all. noth ing to run his little fare: fortho next year. And this Las been the history of the lien law ever sine? ?t was first inaugurated, and snell will continue to he its history as long as perpetuated. The fanners have tried it tor ten years, and, with sin gular unanimity, erv ont all over the state, it is only "evil and that continually. Away with any such relief as that. Th*e shortness of tho present crop does not weigh much in the argument practi cally. If the crop w;is an average one, the tenant would have nothing left ; ?fit is only a half crop, the loss, il any. must t>e shared by the different liens. The day the lien law was first inaugurated was like tho opening of the Pandora s box, a eago full of unclean birds, to tim larmer. The merchant came to tho lar mer, with his lien in his hand : "Sign this, and I Will furnish von with your meat ami bread, much cheaper than you can raise them, ami make cotton." "So, too, the landlord, with cotton at a good price, he was beguiled by thoSvrcnsong, and said to the tenant: '..Make cotton, and I will take all the rents in cotton." And last of all conies thc guano mer chant, with another lien in his hand : "ign this, ntnl I will furnish you willi your fertilizer cheaper than "you can make it, and you can pay for it iii cotton. Make cotton ! make cotton !" So the poor farmer, thus beset on every side, forsook the old beaten path of his fathers, to make supplies tirst, and then raise all tfio cotton possible besides,and launched out on the foolish experiment of trying to raiso cotton to buy everything else with. Tho rest need not be told. Weall know it. The lien law*, along with the ail-cotton theory and guano ?Tazo, ha? transferred our smoko bouses and corn cribs to St. Louis and Chicago, and de prived our families of almost every lux ury to bc had in this genial dime "for al most thc asking. Can't take tho time from Ibo colton to have a decent potato patch or turnip crop, ?ira garden, or any thing but cotton. Of course, there are exceptions. Some tenants, white and colored, ?ire doing well, but usually they do well in spite of the lien law and without its aid. We know colored lon mts who ran get credit any where they are known without a lien, and we know many white tenants who have niado money si nco tho war on rented land, but in every cuse, so far as our observation extends, no thanks to the lien law. 1st thc farmers alone. Their own man hood will work out tho difficult problem better without than with any such legis lative tinkering. The farmer in Georgia can live and prosper without a lien law. In North Carolina tho fanners spurn such an idea, and we do not sou that the South Carolina fanner is KO innc'a better or worse, if you will have it, ns to be enti tled to the great luxury of being leaned b; the hen law. Apain, irt say let the farmers aime. A FARMRR. AU for Lore. The Orangeburg 7ii*i<\< of last Thursday tolls tho following tragic story : Mr. Charlie Du ford, a young man of some If? years, and son of Ito-,-. Mr. Du ford, of llppei St. Matthew's, was found dead in a grove near bia mother's resi denco on Sundav morning last. The cir cumstances of his death, as near as we can gather them up, aretheso: On Thurs day or Friday last, while in company with a friend, young Du ford remarked that ho was goitig to see his sweetheart Saturday night, and if the proper en couragement was not received, he would kill himself. True to his promise, ho call eil on some young ladies and spent a very pleasant evening on that occasion. When about to leave thc house he was presented bv* the ladies w ith a beautiful bouquet, which, instead of receiving, he requested the ladies to keep in fresh water, so that when he was ?lead they might have it to place upon his grave without the trouble nf preparing another. Not rising as early as usti.il on Sunday morning, hts aunt visited thc room m w hich he slept and found young Duford lying on the bed, and, after speaking a few words to hilt , left without any sus picions of his . esign iq-on his life. A few minutes after this he arose and walked out, going into ? grove about lon yards from the dwelling, and in ten min utes more the inmates ?>r the house w ere aiartned by hearing a pistol tire in the direction tho young man had proceeded. Search W.IH immediately made, mid,after hunting and rolling a short while, the dead body of the unfortunatoyoung man was fourni leaning against a log with a bullet bede pierced iu the region of tho heart. Death seemed to have been in stantaneous, as no signs of struggling could be seen anywhere around. His hat and tobacco was found placed carefully on i log near by. A jury of Inquest was called, and rendered a verdict in accord ance with thc above facts. A Wife Worth Having. A correspondent of ?he Aiken Journal and I?n icu , speaking of a visit to the Hon. Geo. D. Tillman, says : "In this connec tion weean not help* remarking that Mn?. Tillman is one of the most energoiic and wonderful women in tho State.

THE . IU MK ASH CULMINAI.. On the ninlit of tba U?tb of Juno last J..sli Mundy, without any known cause, shot and killed his wile iii a most cruel and heartless manner.

It was iii evidence at the trial that on the day of the murder Josh had been beard tn say that he intended lo kill suiiobo-ly before night : that at night lie was quarreling with lils wife; that after dark awhile bo went lo a neighbor's near by, remained theron -hort time ar.tl left for home again ; thal on approaching bis house be commenced swearing in a bois terous and angry tone: that when near the liouso Iiis wife stepped in the door and asked what was the trouble: that thereupon be began cursing her, and with out warning or apparently thc slightest provocation drew Iiis pistol and fired at ber.

But bis imprisonment wrought no im provement in his morals or effected the slightest change ill Iiis deportment, and with bis fiend-liko nature he was prepar ed in the twinkling of an eye for murder, rapine, arson, or the perpetration of any other horrible crimo known to the erinn nal calendar. And consequently every body, white and colored, are satisfied that"be fully merited his fate, ami none doubt that 'on this occasion the gallows was eminently Josh's proper anil appro priate end. In bis cell on Wednesday tn- looked the very impersonation of robust health, ate bia bountiful rations with evident gusto, and talked ulibly of bis approach iug etui : expiesseda perfect resignation arni readiness to tlie, saying that tte had made peace with God and hoped to meet his blessed Jesus in Heaven. Ile a Unit tcd that bc killed his wife, but said it was unintentional and purely acciden tal, nnd that bo merely tired the pistol to frighten another colored man he hean! talking in the house. He saul thal lie knew ho would be hung to-day, and did not entertain a hope of any assistance from mortal man. but lbs fret-ind-easv manners and seeming indifference, with near rinu certain death staring bim in the face, served to hello his assertions. He doubtless entertained a hope of some executive interference in his behalf in time to ?ave bim from bis wretched doom. Josh was about twenty-nine years of age and had more than lived ont* the full measure of days that should have been allotted a villain so vile and inhuman. Good Advice from Gov. Brown. CALHOUN, (JA., August 27. Editors Atlanta Constitution : The crops iu all this section are cut very short by tho drouth. I have lately been in Arkansas, ami they aro the shortest I have ever seen all the way. Tho fall crops, such as potatoes and turnips, promise very little. My opinion is that tlie prospecta for pro visions for mau r.u J boast fur tho coining year aro less pt 1 using than a:iy I have over seen. In i.iis emergency our people should be extremely careful tu save everything that will sustain lifo. There is now a very large quantity of corn in the State that baa no oar. The tassel is dead or liv ing, nnd 110 amount of rain could causo it to make corn. Much of tho fodder ls still green and the stalk is green. All such corn should be cut down immediately just below the green blades, and after lying in the sun a day or two it should bc carefully shocked and -talks tied tightly around the tops of tho shocks. As soi n as the smlks aro ?Irv in th es hock it should be put lintier shelter. In this way a vast quantity ol good food for stock, which is now wasting, could be saved, lt will bc greatly needed next winter. No stalks should be cut that are not yet in tassel, as in the case of good rains they might make corn. When it does rain people should sow heavily of winter varieties of turnips. If ?hov do not grow larg., th.y may make salad. Your paper circulates extensively, and I tru-t you will warn tho people" of their danger and ?lo all you can to induce them to prepare for the severe trial which I awaits them.
