It is said that by fertilizing tin- land well fur each crop, thin eau be done without injury to the land.

The larmer who neglects these crops will undoubtedly regre' bi? oversight next Summer. THE III.IK IUD ti K KALLItOAD.

INTEIINATIONAL MFTHODLST COX FEUENCK. The Ecumenical Council of thc Metho dist denominations of the world, which met in London on the 7th inst., is largely attended hy representatives of tho vari ous branches nf Methodism in ibo world, and promises to be a most interesting and important gathering for the inter ests of that seel. The conference con sists of 400 members, divided equally between the American and European sections, and between thc ministry and the laity. Of the American delegates the southern and northern churches send 118, tho colored Methodists 28, the Ca nadians 22, and thc minor divisions 32. Of the non-American delegates tho Wes leyan Methodists send SS, the Primitive Methodists 3(1, the Free Church 22, the Now Connection 12, tho Ibbie Christians 10, the Wesleyan Reform Union 4, the irish Weslcyans 10, the French Wesley ans 2, and the Australian Wcaleyaus IC. Hishop Simpson, of America, preached the introductory sermon, and fervent prayers for tho recovery of President Garfield were offered up. It was decid ed to take one night to hear from the condition of Methodism in each country, and America was first heard from. Every consideration and courtesy was shown to the delegates from thia coun try._^ _ THE NEW TOKK BEN ATOM. It is very generally thought that the United States Senate will refuse to ad mit Miller and Lapham, the new Sena tors from New York, until thc charges of bribery of the members nf the legis lature during the ballotings for Senators is investigated. This will consume some time, and in the interim a President pro lemport will, if occasion permit, be se lected from among the Democrats. Sen tor Bayard will mest likely be the Dem ocrat selected, and the party will do itself honor in his promotion. There seems to be absolutely no concui renee from the Democratic members with Sen ator Heck's proposition to elect a mode rato Republican, like Senator Anthony of Rhode Island, for the sake of harmo ny. There ?B no course consistent with wisdom and duty for the Dem?crata except to investigate the manner of the oleetion of Lapham and Miller, and if it, should appear that they were elected by a Legislature which had been bribed against the stalwarts, they should not be admitted to neats in thc Senate. Du ring this investigation the Senate cannot consistently with its own dignity post pone organization, and when il comes to organizo it would be the grossest political cowardice for it to yield the offices to the Republicans. If President Garfield vhould die the election of a presiding of ficer would be the first work before the Senate, after swearing in the uew mem bers. The seats of the New York Senators could not betaken during the investiga tion into their election, and the re foro or ganization would proceed without them. If Gen. Arthur should not become Pres ident, ho would preside over the Senate, and might for a time defeat the election of a President pro lcinpo:t, but a liltlo nerve on the part of thc Democratic Sen ators will give them control of thc ofnccis of the Se?alo for another terni of two yoaifs ! TIIK VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN. Tho Democrat* have unearthed the following letter, which they claim, upon a comparison of the acknowledged hand writing of the pretended aulLor, it cer tainly genuine : WYTIIKVII.I.K. October ll.

Tho grea! Cincinnati Southern Rail road, which cost tin- City of Cincinnati twenty-one million of dollars, nnd runs from that city lo Chattanooga, Tenn., a distance of over ??UU mile*, bas been leased for twenty-five years to I red Wolff, >>f New York, representing the Alabama and (Weat Southern Railroad Company, or the F.rlanger syndicate, as it is called, bis hid of ?SOO.dOO per annum for the first period ol live years, $900,000 per annum for the second period, ?l,OOU,0G0 per annum for the third period, fcl,0i?0.000 for tho fourth period, $1.2r>0,<>0u for the fifth period, making a lotal nf $25,200,000 for the twenty-tive years, so that with a moderate taxation for this period, to nicol a part ol' the interest on the debt, lb? city will nt the end of the lease have paid off the debt entirely, and will then own one of the most magnificent railways iu the worlJ. Railroad building bas been a profitable thing for Cincinnati. i It is said that all of the Cabinet, ex ? cept Secretary Blaine, favor inviting j Vice-President Arthur to assume charge J of the Presidency during President Garfield's inability. Mrs. Garfield i? alho opposed to Gen. \rthur'B Uking charge of the office, even temporarily, and it is stated as certain that he will not assume thc duties without an invita tion from Geu. Garfield himself. The trouble which hes in the way of a tempo rary accession to the Vice-Presidency, iii lound in tho belief by many that if be once takes thc Presidency he will, under the Constitution, remain in the offico to thc end of the '-"rm. Among our other troubles it is an nounced thal the crop of growing hogs is twenty-five per cent, leas than last year, and consequently ibo price of meat will be about thirty per cent, higher than thia year. The way to remedy that is lo con sume less meat. As a general thing per sons usc more hog meat than conduces to health. Pay more attention to milk and bullet, and raise more poultry and keep the beef of tho country nt home, and we will livo better on three-quarters of our present pork supply than we uow do on the full nmotiiU. On last Sunday the President seemed u little worse than proviously sinco his removal to Long Branch. The lower portion of his left lung wu? ascertained to bo affected, and bis condition evi denced further effects of blood poisoning. Great uneasiness prevailed, but on Mou day ho revived to such an extent that the members of the Cabinet, with the excep tion of Attorney-General McVeigh, left Long Branch for a few duys' recreation iu the White Mountains. Thc attending surgeons say that ho is on the road to re covery. A good wheat crop nest June means bread at home for tho balance of thu year to such farmers as aro fortunate enough to have it. Such a crop will be a great saving when flour i* likely to reach twehc dollars a barrel, and meal a dollar and a quarter lo a dollar and a half per bushel. Every one who can possibly do no should raise wheat enough to last his family for one year. The President has sufficient power of thought left him lo see that he is over blessed with doctors, and heneo he sug gested last week that a smaller corps would bo moro acceptable to him Mrs. Garfield concurred, and ns the result j Doctore Reyburn, Barnes and Woodward wero retired from tho caso. Doctors Bliss, Hamilton and Agnew aro uow in charge. Cotton pickers had better hurry up. Vennor, the Car.cdian weather prophet, who bas io far been very accurate in bis predictions now says that September, which has como in like a desert of Sa hara, w ill go out like a Niagara Falls. In other word.-,, the rain which usually falls during tho whole Spriug and Summer is to be crowded into the latter part of Sep tember. A good crop of oats next Spring will bo of inestimable value lo our farmers, for it will enable them to feed their stock without buy ing corn ut the ruinous prices likely lo prevail in consequence of tho great drouth ibis year. Enough oats should be sown to ensure a sufficiency, at least, for the Summer and Fall feeding of siock. Dr. Bliss has thc inside track on his critics just now. The President aceras to be getting ocrter, with prospects of re covery. yaiuiw..i nm mmmaatKmmtttmamaammaaamm^a \ Till* week we publish twp more art:?.

'I';..- stovo man comes along iud expatiates on thc groat advantages of .Ainu stoves, ? very word perhaps true, and tho cropper says, "well, I would like to have ..ot-, but J huvo't the iiiouoy." "No diff?rence," -ayr. the vender, "yon eau have the ?tove on Un? cotton option," ni;.i the trade is made at once. Pay ?lay is in the distant future, and cotton bugs plenty in the dim distance. Next comes along the ? lock peddler, and tells ho?V important it ls to havo a good clock, and his is tin- v. ry dot, and besides it is such a tiling of beauty. "Like to have one. mid if >on will come along in the- Pall 1 will boy, for then my crop will ho made, und it's bound to be a unod one, and I ?ill have the nu ?ney.* ' "No difference," says the vender, "you can :?ike the clock now on the cotton option, abd pay for it in the Kali." And the trade ls made. One nf these gentry visited us last Spring, determined t?> sell os a calendar clock at the lovely price of *J:t7 50, all on n long, long credit, ami without any Interest. We wondered in our simplicity what the fifty cents wsw tacked 'ii for, and were told that it was tho exact cost of thc man ufacture, with only a small per cont, of profit t?> diver ex penses. Th? credit w as ?n long "ff, ar I w ithoilt int? rest, that no oMecliou wus made aw t ? terms, but we had a good clock already, costing only len dollars, been running fur forty years, kept good lune, no uso buying a higher priced one.

On reading tin- note we round tl,at the signer waived u!l his right; under the home stead.

Oeside*?, if be could Hell me mic, it would enable him lo sell perhaps a half (luzon others, being a man of noto und indu, cuco, and a good deal of such tlattery. Mut wc did not bite. In another case of which we have heard, a neighborhood nf good farinera patron ized a yankee fruit agent, signing notes with a"waivcr nf tho homestead, and re sisted payment, but was advised by the Trial Justice thal they would have lo pay, und botter doit without costs, which they dui. And HO it goes. Tb I M whole system of credit, eniien dered by the lien law. ls demoralizing tb the hist "degree, and th? very cheapness of the thing and ease with w hich a lion can bo given is the greatest objection \ft it, and makes tho temptation tu Indulge almost Irresistible. Tho Legislature should hesitate long beforo they decide to perpetuate a scheme fraught with HO much or evil to the whole country. It ls ?>.. :heprinciple of licensing f?mg shops al every cross mail, and then holding np your hands in holy horror at tho evil consequences which will tie siiro to fol low. No compulsion ! olino! not n bit nf it, hut an irresistible temptation placed Miere by the L?gislature itself, to entrap, and debase, and ultimately ruin cur ful low-man. We could un on mid detail for days the evils that uris?, in many forma under the credit system, engendered by tho lien law. Observe that tho liens aro all due the first of November, thus forcing tho emp o," the fariner upon the market in the first two months of the season, thus tying his hands and placing bim at the mer.-/ nf tho speculator. Isn't this bond age iii its worsl form? There ls a credit system which was onco in vogue in this country, which was of decided benefit to tho poor man. Tho difference ?ictween cash and credit was not moro than ten pur cent., and thea the debtor had the whole of the Fall ??nd Winter iu which to mar ket and Hell hi? crop and pay otr his in debtedness. Such a credit as that work ed nb injustice to tho poor man, and tunk no udviintagn of bia necessities, and of course was a hencfit. Tho wholo system rd' credit, eiiKondored by tho lieu law, if conceived and arranged for the express purpose of binding tho farmer helplessly to tho Juggernaut car of tho speculator, could not havo been moro effectually done. And yet when tho farmer, likethe worm, even turns and writhes under tho oppression of this miserable system, be is set npou by tho whole race nf specula tors, from Dan to Uershohti, and dc mimiced ns an enemy to the poor man. 1 f thu lion law i* tho best friend tho poor mau lias, then ids daily prayer should bo, Lord, save tue from my friends. In answer to tho argument that tho landholder's lien is necessary to securo his rents, we reply that never until the adoption nf Ibo lien law was the collec tion of the rents even jeoparded. L'nder the common law tho rento were always secure, but in addition there is now a statutory lien, securing the routs to tho amount of ono-third of tho crops raised. This, ol' itself, would meet tho exigency in a large majority of cases, but repeal the lien law, and, if necessary, which we do not believe, make a general statute securing rents, and tho objection is re moved. Thus thc more wc investigate this whole system of liming, wo discover mure and inure certainly lliat it never was concocted in tho interests of tho far iner, landholder or tenant, but rather to subordinate their Interests to the support of the merchant and H|>eculator. "We are thoroughly convinced that a laborer can .ive as well, if not better, than lie has for the last lon years, upon decidedly smaller wages, provided the fanner will take charge of tho limiter by raising enough provisions nt homo, it cannot be done if tho negro is loft to tho mercy of thu merchant's extravagant lime "prices for corn and bacon."-NJU?/I ern Cultivator, January, 1S77-Athens, (?a. If the above stern truth,describing ibu condition of Ibo farmer in Georgia ll*'o years ago, was published now as tho con dition ol tin? Siiiith Carolina t>rmor, noth ing could bo more triithlul or more ap propriate. Georgia has already passed the ordeal through which wn aro now passing, and has buried forever tho vaga ries and oppressions of tho lien law. It is doomed in this State, and it is only a quest inn of time us to it? demise. Thc day of extortion upon thu farmer is waning, and very soon its HUH will set in thc obscurity of oblivion. .So mote ii bo. Again, ami lastly, wo say it is hardly fair to force upon tho farmer, in a maller ol' special interest to tho agricultural ches, a system which, in his '.ldgmctit, ls so hurtful and Injurious, and against bis solemn protest.

There there resentatives of tho agriculturists of tl State were assembled, and almost, if n quito, every county in the Stato was re; resented ; and it was almost unan i moil ly agreed that this law was working i injury to evory interest in thc ? tate, aft a fair trial. This law is one of tho reli of the lato war. First, the ".Slay law and afterward, when ita usefulness lu gone, then came tho Lion law. Each I beso wero enacted principally for tl benefit of the planters of the middle ni lower counties. Now, the time has com certainly, for the repeal ol' tho last ve tige of war legislation, and let all elim? of people have perfect freedom to go wi the tide of improvement which has co oreo all tho varied iu tereala of ibo enti nation.

True, those who havo take advantage of this law aro made believe, by thoso who havo run tin heretofore, if this law is repealed til must look out for themselves, and be-ii in our section, the poorer people, it n orally causes alarm.

Ymir committee timi that on December ??7. isp"., an act wa- passed by Hu- Legis lature incorporating the proprietor* nf thc Augusta .

Hy'act approv ed'December 1J. 1-71. said' citv o'. Au gusta was authorized lo eu dirge and deepen ? \id canal, and your committee lind II otboi legislation upon the sub joet which they deem material. Your coiniiiittce, on the 24th day of August, Issi, visited Augusta, Ga , for t he purpose of examining the dam aeross the Savannah river, al a point about sev en miles above said citv. They found that a dam extends entirely across the Savannah river at that point, said dam extending frolll the head of said canal obliquely up and across said stream, a distance <>f |,Ou2 feet, thence almost at right angles with the general channel of tho river, a distance of 7-0 foot to the South Carolina bank. The oblique dam of most massive jin . portions, immense strength and about 1" feet high without any break or opening in it whatever, in tho other part, to-wit : The7-0 feet part, w hich is built in Uko substantial maimer, there aro four open ings, tinco of them about 20 feet each, and the other 12 feet Thc consequence is that this dam HO obstructs the entire channel ot' said river a? tu dani up the sanio so that the surface ol' the waler .above the dam is about four feet higher than below, and thus all nf said Savan nah river, except what ia turned by said dam into the canal, is forced throuub sud openings in said dam. Meine thc velocity and momentum of tho streams which pas- through said openings are so great that they io.ally prevent, not only the navigation of said stream, but render it impossible for any tish'to pass up ?aid streams, through said openings, and thus, in the opinion of your committee, both thu navigation of Iii? said .stream and tho passage of tish up tho same are ctleetiiully, totally and entirely obstruct ed and prevented by said dam, in open and direct violation of the treaty between Hie Stat? of Sou tn Carolina ami Georgia, lu ld at Beaufort, S. C., na April 28, I7s7, which said Healy positively prohibits any obstructions or hindrances whatso ever, and al ?o is contrary to the ibllow ilig acts to keep open the Savannah river for thc free passage of tish ami for naviga tion of ?aid river by boats, to-wit; Act approved Dec, 15, ISO'.?, Cobb's di gest vol. 2, p.

At seven o'clock Sunday evening an at tempt was made to kill Uni tea U in bis coll. At that hour Battery H.Second artillery, was relieving Captain Grave's command, which had boen on duty al the jail the pre vious twenty-four hours. The battery ar ri ved in their wagons, in the first of which was s-ated Firs! Sergeant Mason. As the wagon drew up in front of the jail Mason jumped nut, threw his cap aside, and. with musket on bin shoulder, proceeded to the right wing of tho jail. A few seconds brought lum abreast of the window, through which Giteau had been often seen. Putting his gun to bis shoulder, the clear report which rang ihrniigh the jail told thc story of his inten lio i and nc-*. Tho ball grazil (juneau's bead and penetrated his coat, which was hanging on the side of thc cell. .Sergeant Mason surrendered himself to his commanding officer, Captain Mcliilvery, who immediately put him under arrest. Milson is a native o. \ irginia, and has been nineteen years in tho service. He says he shut for the purpose of killing Guiteau, and is sorry he missed him. He had tired of riding over tho cobble stones to jail every day to guard thc life ol'such a niau as Guiteau. He made up his mind to kill him. He loaded his gun before he left the arsenal, mid SIHUI as he reached thc jail he Went to the window where Guiteau usually stands, and gaping for the anival of the guard. That bc. fired, and that is all there is about it. tit..tenu was overcome with fear, aud he pleaded for removal to another part of tho building. His request will probably be grunted. After the Fires.
