B. B. M Ult KAY, Kditor. THURSDAY, AUUUST 23, 188.1. UNE y KA K.mt.no. SIX MONTHS. 7?C. ""THO Dollar* If not paid In advance. The groat telegraph strike lins ended, and the operators engaged in it have re turned to their places, where they could get back. The adair has proven disas trous to many who went into it, and unprofitable to all. The company was too strong, and wore the Brotherhood out by giving up some of its business, and conducting thc balance by such help as could be obtained without the aid of the Brotherhood, As Greenville and Spartan burg arc each contending for thc United States Court House, it will be difficult for the representative, horn the Fourth Cou? grcssional District to fully represent the views cn* ull of hin constituents on this subject. Wc BUggeat that in this situa tion of atTairs thc representative of the Third District settle the distinto by hav ing the Court House located in Ander son. It would be a better place for it, anyway. The Georgia ('entrai Railroad Compa ny, which controls over 1500 miles of railroad with Savannah and Fort Royal as its shipping purls, and a line td" steam ers from oath of these ports to New York, has purchased a controlling inter est in the slock anti nearly all of tho bonds of Ihe Augusta & Knoxville Railroad. The .Saluda Af?/u? ni?tes that thc company will finish thc Savannah Valley and the Spnrtaiiburg and Green wood roads, and the Chronicle and ('un glilutionulitsl intimates the same thing. From what we have learned of the in tended changes we feel safe in muting that if the fifty thousand dollars contem plated in Anderson's subscription ia raised, the Sa van uah Vulley will be speedily completed. Thero is not more thru ten thousand dollars to bo raised to complete this amount, und wc have no doubt it will be speedily forthcoming. All the indications, therefore, point to un early completion of tho Savannah Vulley Railroad. The New? and (Sultrier now publishes statistics showing that Maine since thc adoption of prohibition in that Slate hus increased in population only 11 per ccut., while the balance of tho country hus increased 117 percent., and farm values increased only 10O por cent., while the remainder of tho country increased 300 per cent. Manufactures increased 300 per cent, in Maine, and 500 per cent, in the other StateH. Tho pauper, criminal and insane population of Maine has in creased during tho samo period. TheBe things may, and probably are, not attrib utable to prohibition, but they certainly do not furnish any argument in favor of it. Tho New? and Courier three years ago, if we remember correctly, favored prohibition in this State, but did not Buccced in having it adopted. The IN TELLIGENCER then, ai now, contonded that tho enforcement of temperate hab its was a great moral question which tho laws could not reach. Tho Church and Temperance organizations must nettle this question through their iufluence over society. Legislation cannot do it. A SERIOUS DHAWI1ACK. The South is essentially an agricultu ral region, aud in by nature destined to remain so. The progress of diversified industries in our midst since the war baa been marked, and gives promise of a very profitublo development in manufac tures and commerce. Indeed, the cur ront of material progress seems to be rapidly bearing the South onward to the front of American manufucturing, and aa tho inevitable result of this develop ment, to the front also of American commerce. The bringing of the "mills to the colton" is now tho tendency of manufacturing capital. The advantages of Southern climate and motive power, together with the Baving of freights on cotton and commissions,1 insurance stor age, and other expenses incident to the present removal of tho crop from the producers to the consumera, gives to this section advantages which cannot fail to render tho cotton belt the great manu facturing region of tho world. With thiB development the channels of trade will be opened from every quarter of the civilized world directly to the manufac turing center, and thus as manufactories grow in the South to the samo extent will Southern shipping and commerce expand. It is not, therefore, difficult to see that great commercial prominence and prosperity awaits the South in the future. We cannot overestimate the benefits to be derived from this develop ment, and all intelligent citizens of pro gressive spirit will leave no effort unmade which promises to speed this growth ; but at the same time it must be remem bered that the great industry, the perma nent and certain prosperity of the South, is agriculture, and must continue to be agriculture. Our climate, our Boils and our productions all mark this as one of the most favored regi?os of the world for agricultural pursuits. There is no por tion of the South la which these remarks -PP'-y with moro force than in South Carolina. Here, io a space of less than three hundred miles, we have a variety of production, combined with a salubrity of climate and a fertility of soil, that is marvelous to cont?mplate. Beginning with the Sea IP]mid cotton and semi tropical productions of tho low country, and ending with the cereals and grapes of the up-country, wo have a capacity that few other States can boast. With rice-fields that equal those of any other State, with cotton lands that can be brought up to producing more than a bale to the acre, with corn lands that actually make from forty to one hun? dred bushel? per tere, with thousands of acres of land capable of producing from fifty to ono hundred bushels, with tobacco lands equal to those of Virginia or North Carolina, with fruits of great .variety, and etc ck, catt Io and pool* try, and with exhatntless forests of valu able Umber, lt looks like South Carolina orght to prosper in no ordinary degree. But lu adaption to this, nature with lav ish heed has placed within our limits immense deposits of phosphate rocks, the manipulation of which gives us the finest of commercial manures. Iv/ery thing necessary for iiuturc to bestow upon us to render this. .State a prosper ous agricultural section has been done. Our people in years gone by have prospered greatly und accumulated fine fortunes out of agriculture. The census of 18(10 showed that under the institu tion of si i verv thc South was immensely ! prosperous. The Southern tuan acquired more money than the Northern mun as an average, bul since the war a change has been wrought. A new condition of things has been brought about, ami while our people have farmed w ith vont profit, it has not been near so great as it should have been under our favored con ditions. One cause, wc think, has been mat our planters have insisted upon thc bad policy of raising all cotton, and buying everything else. Instead of making our brcadstulis, meals and food for stock ut linnie, wc have persisted in buying them outside of thc Stal<\ paying commissions to thc wholesale merchant* of thc North and Weat, and high freights to the railroads for hauling them from five hundred tonne thousand miles, and then commissions to thc retail merchant. This policy has largely made the South ern farmers hewers of wood and draweis of water tor thc railroads and for the merchants lu a ruinous extent. For tiiis no person was to blame except the farmer himself, for if bc had crown lhe?e things at home, as he could easily have done, there would have been no neces sity for patronizing either thu railroad?, or the men hunt tn obtain them. The real aim of our agriculture ought to be thc production of as much that is con sumed cu Ute tarin aa can be miltie without its costing more than ii would require to buy it in market, and after this is done, then to raise as much col ton and oilier surpluc produce as eau be done with thc capital ai tho command ol ibo farmer. When this policy is hilly adopted, we have no doubl that tin prosperity of Southern agriculture will be greatly enhanced. Thc monopoly of cotton culture, how ever, is not, in our opinion, the grrul drawback to .Southern agricultural pro gross. Tho uncertain und indoleni labor of the present is doing more to re tard South Carolina than all other cans cs. There is no certainty nor uniformi ty about it. When the planter hires hit hands in January ho hus no gu?rante* that when the cotton-working time ar rives, they will not unceremoniously quit their contracts and work for ollie people to get the advantage of day prices. This renders tho planter uncer tain in all of his labor contractu, for hi not only runs tho risk of losing a portioi of bia hands, but even those who remain knowing that others are getting seventy five cents to one dollar per day, whil they aro only gelling ten dollars pe month, become indolent, intending t render only an amount of service prc portionate to the pay. They forget o care nothing for the fact that they wer drawing full wages during the unrenn: nerative months of the winter. Thi uncertainty in labor is not only injur OUB to the employer, but it is also equn ly damaging to tho laborer, for the fee ing of uncertainty that the contract wi be can ?cv] out causes tho conti actor I pay lower wages, and heneo the labore who fulfill, and those who do uol ful li their contracts, alike suffer a reductio in the amount given them, for uo or can tell which ones will stick and whic will not. hence all must bo reduced I such n sum that tho farmer can take tl risk. This state of affairs ?a extreme! unfortunate, for there is no business i which ibero should be a greater feelir of certainty and confidence than in nj riculturnl contracts. In view of the uncertainty of lulu aud its increasing inefficiency, wo thii: legislation should be adopted for tl punishment of either party tu an agi "cultural contract who violates it. L the penalties be severe, and apply hoi to the employer and the employee, i that when a contract is made there wi be a full reliance on bolh sides thal i provisions will be curticd out. The r ault of such an Act would bo beneficial the laborer and to the employer by s curing the beat price for work, and I guaranteeing that it will be render when it his been contracted for. Sui an Act will not affect contracts betwei honest men, for they will be fulfill anyway, but it will necessitate the d honest man, who by his disregard of 1 contracts is demoralizing tho labor the country, to carry-out a contract wh he makes one. It would give, in u opinion, nilibili ty to labor, and confider between employer and employee, whi would result in great mutual advanta| In addition to tho healthy influence legislation on the aubject, our far mt can do much to render auch labor they have more remunerative by t use of improved agricultural machine: for by this means one man can do t work now which required two or tbi bauds heretofore. By the introducti of this machinery our farmers can also, large measure, become independent unreliable labor. They can easily do great deal of their own work, and c afford, in busy seasons, to employ au cient day-labor to operate their improv machinery. With proper ?cgialation to enforce nor contracts, with diversified agricultt to render our farmers self-sustaining, a with improved implements of agriuullt to increase the productiveness of lab the agriculture of South Carolina, or a other Southern State, will receive an i petus which would surprise tho m sanguine believers in the destiny Southern agriculture. - The Union Times tays : In all ps of the county the average of the cot! is too small to give hope of more tb haifa crop, and in some large soctiont cannot even do that. Those who hi travelled through the country tell us I outlook of the cotton in the fields is ally sad.

I might give you an account of my tri j? here -thc grand and beautiful scenery about Chattanooga ar.d on lo Louisville, from St. Louis to Kansas City, and ulso say something of Louis ville and lil' Southern Imposition, as I Stopped niim hours in Louisville and visited thu Exposition dint what I saw on my way, though pleasant at thc time, has been HO far excelled by the grandeur of tho scenery in Colorado, and (hu beauty and magnificence of Denver, and my slay herc has been so pleasant, thal I will only uttempt to give you a brief ski tel; (d' wluiL 1 have seen and heard since arriving in this eily. When I arrived lit re and had regis tered at the Windsor Hotel, which, by the way, .! in keeping with ibis (?ucen Cuy, and had knocked oil sume of the dust of liavcl und refreshed the inner man by partaking heat lily ol a sub stantial breakfast, I was informed thal un excursion had been plutni'.-d by llic Grand Chapter ol Colorado fir the General (irani Chapter from hero lo Idaho Springs, a distance td thirty eight miles west I rom Denver. Though tired, I ct/uid not forego the pleasure of this Inp. At a distance of about ti fl CCU unies from Denver the excursion train entered Clear Creek Canon, and for about twenty miles we were carried up by u rapidly Mowing stream as large as Kuckj Uiver, on each side of win. h rose almost perpendicular walis of tucky ami rugged mountains, ni places 2,01)0 feel high. No pen eau adequately dis 'critic thc grandeur of the scenery, and lio Artist's pencil lully portray it. There are places, as well as limes and occasions, when ?peech seems out ol place. Such seemed the feelings ul those on board the excursion train, us ihey intently viewed nature's works no grandly and profusely thrown together. Al Idaho we were refreshed by an excellent dinner, winch thu committee of thc Grand Chapter of Colorado had previously ordered to be prepared. Aller dinner thc party scattered to the dittercnt places ol interest. With my friend, D. A. /.cagier, whom I found herc, und who returned with me to Den ver, has shown me every kindness in Ins power, I visited the Hot Spring, the .Mineral Spring, und thc Natural Turkish Utttb. Thc Lust baa been recently dis covered by some parties prospecting for minerals, uud is nothing more than a bole dug for some distance in the mountain side. The temperature is so high within, that a profuse perspiration is caused lo How us soon us one enlcrs within a cer tain distance from the entrance. .Many kindnesses have becu shown mc here, not only from tho Masonic frater nity, which has so magnificently re ceived us, hut from others, among whom are Col. Sparnick, formerly from South Carolina, and T. C. Gaskin, who is well known by many of the citizens of An derson. Mr. Gaskin hus been here two j weeks, and will remain a few weeks, longer. Yesterday I went to the First Baptist Church, which I have heard called hero '.The religious theatre of Denver/' It is certainly a magnificent building. In the absence of Dr. Jeffries, the Fuslor, n Mr. 1'utman, from New York, preached, and seemed to delight to dwell on the recollections "of the luto rebellion" more than iii the salvution of souls-for what good can these sermons do now. Why not "let the dead past bury its dead ?" I was told by the popular pastor of the Baptist Church nt Lexing ton, Ky., who heard him tit night, that all of his illustrations weredruwn from tho incidents of "the late rebellion," mid that bo horrible were they, and in one instance so palpably untrue, that he should have lett the church hud he not been with two estimable young ladies of this city. The singing, however, at this church is splendid, and I imagine, with Dr. Jelfries in tho pulpit, it would be a pleasure any time to drop in and wor ship with the members of the First lluptist Church of Denver. At night I attended thu Episcopal Culhedral ; here they have, so I w?s in formed, the second largest organ in the United Suites. It is really u trout to 'listen to the music in this church. The General Grund Chapter mot this J moruiug-tho procession from tho Wind sor Hotel to the Hull was, including the i escorts, ubout one mile long. Will give you un uccount of this und of my further stay here in my next-must stop und go to the banquet given the General Griuid Chapter to-night. There are, I think, over two hundred in attendance. Hut more anon. J. E. BltEAZKAl.K. The Death of Judge Mack. YORK. PENN'., August 10.-Judge Jeremiah Black died at ton minutes past 2 o'clock this morning. Although not unexpected, his death was suddeu and was a shock to the community. Ou Sat urday morning ho seemed somewhat better, but the improvement was too slight to justify hope for his recovery. An unfavorable chango began about 4 o'clock in the afternoon and ho gradual ly grew worse, but remained conscious almost to thc end and died peacefully. From tho beginning of his illness Judge Black believed that he would never re cover, and was perfectly resigned. Short ly before Judge Black died be said to bis ' wife : "Haw can I fear to cross tho dark river wben my Father waits for me on the other shore." And added : "Wouid I wero as comfortable about all I leave behind unfinished in thia world." And then he breathed the following earnest prayer : "Oh, thou beloved aud most merciful Heavenly Father, from whom I had roy being and in whom I have ever trusted, if it be Thy will grant that my suffering end, and that I speedily bo called home to Thee; and oh, bless and comfort theo, ray Mary." The home of Judge Black and wife at York bas long been one of the most in teresting in Pennsylvania. The lifo of the venerable pair has been charming in its simplicity, and a multitude of friends had fondly hoped to see them round out their age to four-score years in their delightful rustic retreat. Judge Black has been at the bar more than fifty-three years, and he ascended the Bench in 1842, in the judicial district where he first won distinction. He was twice elected Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of his State, and at the end of six years of service in that office he entered President Buchanan's Cabinet, where he remained the power behind the throne throughout the Buchanan administra tion. Since that time he has not held office, but bis opinion upon the public questions has carried great weight, and his professional practice bas been exten sive, embracing coses of vost importance. His death ends tho career of one of the foremost of our public men. *#*"They who cry loudest are not al ways the moat hurt." Kidney-Wort does its work like the Good Samaritan, quickly, unostentatiously, but with great thoroughness. A New Hampshire lady writes: "Mother has been afflicted for years with kidney diseases. Lost Spring she was very ill and bad an alarming pain and numbness in one side. Kid ney-Wort proved a great blessing and bas completely cured uer. THE LOUISVILLE EXPOSITION. Musical mid Art Features-Tlio Klrclrlc Itullwby, Kt?*. Louis VILLI-:, KY., August IL-The want of preparation in all the depart ment* of the exposition, ami the incom pleteness which has hitherto character? ixed all the displays, with very few ex ceptions, have been within the laut few days in a gnat degree remedied, and ?hat little remains now to he done lo mal:?! il all its projectors comtempluted j and the public expected will be accom plished without further delay, and there will be hereafter no unfulfilled expecta tions, It was a fine stroke lo include the reception of President Arthur and' Ins distinguished associates in the open ing ceremonies. This nf itself secured a sery large attendance on the first day, hut it was a great mistake to put it in the power of the thousands pre-cut on that day from far and near to say that the exposition was not yet ready lo re- | ccive visitors, except suth as would he satisfied with tin* -ight nf a very large ami very handsome building, promising a great deal in the future, but offering very little for the precut. From these strictures, if they aro so considered, thc music department must bo excepted. The music furnished hy the .Seventh Regiment Hand has more than satisfied it has delighted the audiences that have gathered every afternoon and even ing io listen to it. This bas constituted the chief attraction, and there was noth ing to divide the honors with it until lim opening of the splendid art gallery on t hursday, the '.I ii instant. The music rendered by this band of forty uiu-iciaiH is nf every variety und style, including the gems ol classic authors, and is rendered willi eons.miniate skill. The art gallery includes thc finest works of ari from the most noted private galleries in the country. Pictures by such nrti-ls as llougereail, l)e Neuville, Vautier, Millet, Gerome, Itenouf, from tue galleries of Ucl mont, Morgun, l?den, Heney and many others; (lobet i ri tapes tries, with their brilliancy unimpaired by two centuries nf time; marble statua ry, bronze vases of Sevres china, won ilerful works of art from the unitpie . irani collection, and many other rare lind cosily gems. If this were all lhere was to bc seen at the exposition it would well repay the time, the trouble and the expense ol it visit. Tho electric railway made its trial trip yesterday afternoon. The first passen gcis carried by it wei? the directors of the exposition and mi oibers ol* the press. The track is a circular one, three thou sand feet in extent. Thc circuit is made by the train in three inimit?s. One would think thal an agent that in ?tn mo tion surpasses the velocity of light would disdain association with u chariot that it could not drive at u speed exceed ing that of a street car. The electric railway lins, besides the two outer rails, a middle tail in thc centre of the track. These ure connected, respectively, with the poles of a generator standing a short distance from the track. To make the connection more complete wires ure laid under each rail. Motion is transmitted by un armature, shafts, pulleys and bands. The train is stopped by break ing the circuit and applying the breaks. Thc current, so to speak, is not strong enough to shock a man, but seems to be able to surprise and startlo hor.?es and mules that in crossing the track place their feet within tim circuit. There ure to bc weekly pyrotechnic | displays, but there lins as yet been only one, on account of tho unfavorable weather on the nights set apart for that display. These displays will be made alternately by two tirm9, which will vie with each other in their effort to make their exhibitions ns brilliant as possible. Tennessee, Arkansas and Alabama | make a very fine display of native woods, grain, ores, marble and gruss-s. In the agricultural display of Tennessee j there is a very remarkable product called a cucumber, but which is said to be a hybrid consisting of cucumber, water melon mid squash, '.he first predomina ting. This remarkable specimen is a monster lb "e feet long, with a coat sim ilar to but tinnier than the rind of a wa termelon, and weighs USA pounds. In the Tennessee exhibit is an inven tion of Colonel II. IL Folk, a lawyer. It is called the auxiliary pneumatic mo tor and railway propeller. The inventor proposes by it to store up the force exerted by atmospheric pressure upon a moving train, and then by this force tn keep thc train in motion without steam power, with a great saving of fuel, mid without the annoyance of sparks, cinders and smoke, while the steam is shut off and the motor is in action. Tlie question of lowering the rates of admission and opening the exposition on Sunday has been unanimously decided by the directors in the negative. The admission fee is fifty cents, which in cludes admittance to the art gallery ; children half-price nt all times. Every body half-price on Saturdays after two o'clock. - Governor Blackburn, of Kentucky, has pardoned 845 criminals. - Mr. John Kiley, near Stephenson's depot near Winchester, Va., is one hun dred and six years old. - At tho Tokay vineyard, near Fay etteville, N. C., is u vine twenty-five years old which liDre over 100 bushels of grapes. - On Monday last in Beaufort County, Sandy Bobian, while carelessly handling a pistol, ahot himself through the heart. Au inquest was bold, and a verdict of accidental death rendered. - The aged vetoran, the war-horse of General Stonewall Jackson, tho same he was riding the day he received his death wound, is on his wuy from North Caro lina to the Virginia Military Institute, which ia to take charge of bira at the request of Mrs. Jackson. - James Connenton, a young married man, aged twenty-three years, thought to frighten his wife by taking a dose of laudanum in Philadelphia Tuesday night last. He not only frightened bis wife, but fooled himself, aa the dose which he innocently fancied would not affect bim, dangerously aent him off into a stupor and sleep from which there waa no rous ing or wakening. "Tho little dose which would not kill" killed mast effectually. ANDERSON FEMALE SEMINARY. The next Session opens First Monday In September.
