E. B. MUBBAY, Editor. THURSDAY, OCT. 8. 1885. ONE TEAJU.^..^_?-iMO. SIX MONTHS_,-7?c. Two Dollars If not paid in advanoe. The Augusta Chronicle proposes as the epitaph for Mr. Stephens' monu? ment the following inscription: "Re? venge reversed?that is, to rise superior to the neglect and contumely of mankind by trying to do them good instead of harm. A determination, even against fate, to meet the world in ail its forces; to master evil with good, and to leave no foe standing in my rear." * While these lofty sentiments eminently portray the great nature which was buried in Mr. Stephens' coffin, it would be well for the men who survive him to seize upon them as the enunciation of the principles of a grand life, and act them out in their every day conduct. The Augusta Chronicle says that "negroes are no doubt watching for the big sums said to be on hand to buy their votes on the temperance question. Uncle George Tillman's famous aphorism is constantly on deck: 'Universal suffrage ' is universal damnation.'" The anti-pro? hibition man seem very much opposed to universal suffrage on the question of Prohibition, and yet they claim that the majority is on their side. It may be that negroes are watching for big sums to buy their votes on this: question, but if eo the whiskey men are the ones who will pay them. Tn spite of these odds Prohibition is progressing. We- are sat . isfied the day is not distant when we will have a vote "by universal sufferage" in this County ou the question, and have not the remotest doubt that v hen the vote is taken, even if some votes are bought by the whiskey men, Anderson County will l?e safely landed in the Pro? hibition ranks. Old bachelors are having a bard time in Georgia. Tbry are below par. It is even proposed to put them on a level with circuses, bar-rooms and other modern evils that cannot be entirely ex? terminated, by placing a license or tax Upon the privilege of remaining single after a man passes thirty yeats of age. New York, however, is more liberal and progressive. She sympathizes with her ' bachelor citizens, and by way of com? pensating them for the lack of wives to console their declining years, the great empire State lavishes high honors upon thorn. She made Tilden Governor and elected him President. Then she made Cleveland Sheriff. Mayor, Governor and . President Next she made Hill Lieu tenant-Govornor and has nominated him for Governor by the Democrats. The Republicans have nominated Davenport for Governor. All of these are bache? lors, and it look* like a married man does not stand half a chance for an office in that State. The result of this condition of things ought to induce bachelors to crowd New York, and all men to get married in Georgia. GIVE TJS HONEST MONEY. The . New York Sun, speaking of the re cent Contention uf Bankers in Saratoga, says: Col. W. L. Treoholm of Charleston made an address to the convention, in which be seriously argued that if our currency - depreciates so that it Will take $584 instead of $485 to buy a ?100 draft on England, and the price of imported geods.riaes in consequence, the American .producer will still sell his productions for the samo price he had got before! Ho did not see that wheat, corn, pork . and beef, sold in Liverpool for sterling money would, at. the higher rate of :exchange, bring nr.ore to the seller,'and that home manufactures would rise in price to the level of imported goods. The rate, of exchange is a matter of very little consequence in financial trans? actions, so long as it remains fixed and uniform. A nation fixes its standard of - value to suit its own convenience and neces? sities for exchange, and as long as that ; standard of value remains the same its people can con duo., their commercial affairs with certainly between themselves. For instance, in the days of the Spartan ; lawgiver, Lycurgus, iron was the mone? tary medium of the government. At that time the supply of iron was limited, and the Spartans measured their ex? changes by it. As the quantity of iron increased its exchangeable value became less, until it was too cumbrous for a cur? rency, and gave way to a dearer metal, which, by reason - of its- scarcity, had a value, that rendered it convenient as a standard of exchange. If from iron as the standard of value thegovernment had changed to diamonds, the other extreme would have been found equally as inconvenient, for the limited supply of diamonds would not have fur-1 nished enough of them to afford a medi-1 . urn of exchange, and a condition of I - things would have been inaugurated similar to that which succeeded the late war, before United States currency be? gan to circulate in the South. A few people had a little gold, but as it was not | possessed by many persons, the exchanges j of the country had to be conducted in kind?that is, a man who had a barrel of flour to sell could not get money for it, but he could exchange it to his neighbor, who had corn to sell and wanted some flour, for its value in corn. ?? This exchange of articles in kind is tho real basis of all commerce. Money b merely a symbol intended to represent a unit of value to facilitate exchange. For instance, a community composed of A, B, C and D have certain surpluses and certain wants.. A has more cloth than be needs, but wants meat. B has more meat than he wants but needs flour. C has more flour than he wants, but needs corn. D has more corn than he wants but needs sugar, coffee, salt and similar articles. These men could not exchange with each other, because no two of them have an excess of what each of them wants. There are other com? munities similarly situated. Government cornea !n and fixes upon gold as its me? dium of. exchange, and says arbitrarily we will make the gold which is acquired by a day's labor the unit of valor, and call it one dollar. Then to facilitate the needs of its citizens, it puts the currency it has established into circulation. It pays its officers, it lets contracts to erect its public buildings, it purchases a navy and builds public roads. Its officers buy cloth of A, meat of B, flonr of C and corn of D. Some of these parties take contracts for public work, and get money for it Then, as each man has money, lie boys what he wants. D finds that he can make equal to two bushels of corn by a day's labor, therefore he fixes the price of his corn at fifty cents per bushel; C finds it takes him equal to seven days to make a barrel of flour, therefore he sells his flour for seven dollars per barrel, and so on. But as timo progresses Vari? ous other elements enter the calculation of prices. A short crop makes high prices, while an abundant crop makes low prices of the particular* articles affected. It is all regulated, however, by the gold dollar standard, and is based on labor. Now, if the gold of which the dollar is made becomes abundant, so that one day's labor will acquire equal to two dollars instead of one dollar under the supposed conditions of crop values, corn would become worth one dollar per bushel, and flour fourteen dollars per barrel. These fluctuations in the worth of the unit of value afford dangerous opportunities to speculators, a' i invari? ably prove damaging to the masses oi the people of a country. There is not so much difficulty about fluctuations in foreign exchange as in the ohange in value of our own standard. In an age of commerce like ours, a constrained difference in exchange between two countries cannot be maintained. '">ur . currency will always be received by friendly powers having dealings with us, according to its actual value as compared with the actual value of their currency. If ours becomes of less actual value, it will be discounted in proportion ; while if theirs becomes of less actual value ours will command a corresponding pre? mium. What we need is uniformity. It is of little consequence what, the initial value is, so long as when it is once established it is firmly maintained. This is the most solemn duty of govern? ment. It should keep its currency uni? form in value. If its selected medium becomes too abundant and loses in value, the government should call it iu and exchange an honest uuit in its atead. The loss should not fall on the people who received it on the faith of the gov? ernment's standard! When the government bus two metals as the basis of its currency, and finds that one of those metals is becoming so abundant as to lower the value of the nation's currency, as the preseut silver dollar is apparently doing, it should cease the coinage of that currency, and take such measures as, may be necessary to protect its citizens from loss by maintain? ing a base currency. Col. Trenhnlm has evidently been incorrectly reported in his speech in Saratoga, but he was doubt less urging the necessity for the cessation of the enforced coinage of silver. We favor the cessation of this enforced silver coinage, because we believe its tendeucy is to injure the commorce and credit of our country. But *e think whatever legislation is had on the subject should protect the present silver dollar. It is j the* government's dollar, and has been accepted on the faith of the government, so that any legislation touching it should protect iu holders. If it is not worth one hundred cents on the dollar, the government is in honor bound to redeem it with a dollar which is worth that much. In legislating on tho ?ubject the govern? ment should provide for its redemption at once, because any other course would force the silver dollar at a discount into the hands of speculators, and subsequent redemption would only promote a job for speculators. We waut a steady and uni? form currency, and whenever any change is made in its volume of character, we want it made in stich way as to secure the people from' imposition and loss at the" very, beginning. Ensilage. ? Hon. B. F. Crayton, who has taken much interest in the subject of Ensilage, permits us to make an extract from a letter of Mr. C. W. Garrett, a leading agriculturist of North Carolina, in winch he says upon this subject: "I have noted the discussion iu the papers relating to sweet aud sour Ensi? lage; the first secured by filling the Silo slowly, thereby permitting the Ensilage to heat and kill the "bautera"; the last, by filling rapidly, preventing heat, the bactera not being destroyed, fermentation goes on, aud the result sour Eusilage. Previous to last year I filled my Silo rapidly, taking only two days to 611 each one, and getting them weighted before the second night. In other words, pre? venting, as near as possible to do so; any heat being generated in the Ensilage. Last year I filled upon the slow method ?filled two Silos at the samo time, alter- j nating from one to the other, so to raise each about two feet per day. The Ensi? lage became quite hot, and I expected to find it sweet?that u, not sour, but such was not the case, aud it was as sour as I had ever made. This year I am filling one Silo at a time, believing the slow process v.-as of no advantage. Be? fore this discussion I was afraid to let it heat in the Silo ; now I am not particular, as I have found that heat too great to bear by the hand does it no harm. I have fonr Silos, holding about 300 tons. For the past three years I have been ensi? laging my corn stalks, after tho corn is sufficiently matured to gather without injury. I have put up about one hundred tons from these stalks each year, and have found it a very acceptable and wholesomo feed for my cattle, mules ai.d horses, and is the cheapest food possible for us to make. If the South would utilize the cciru stalks in this way, it would give hu abundance of excellent food, and prevent the great outlay for the purchase of Northern hay. My favorite plant for Ensilage is peavines. I have found my stock to prefer it to anything else. These I make mostly after a crop of wheat or oats." The Disgrace of Moses. Boston, October 1.?Franklin j. Mo? ses, ex-Governor of South Carolina, was placed at the bar in the Superior Court this afternoon to be sentenced for swind? ling ex-Mayor Cobb, Fred Ames aud others. His counsel reviewed his career and urged that he had already been suf? ficiently punished, having just served a year in the House of Correction for a similar offense. It was urged that the offenses were committed under circum stances of extreme want and they could not be called flagrant violations. The defendant was a man of extreme nervous organization and his imprisonment has told upon him. II? was *o reduced physically that, further imprisonment would probably prevent him fr?>m ever performing any service. If the ca?e could be continued for three months there were prominent gentlemen iu Bos? ton who would procure him a situation. Judge Aldrich said it would almost seem that the court w?s listening to an eulogy upon a man of high and exalted character who had fallen into misfortune His advantage* made his crime so much the greater, ?nd it would not bo justice to let men like Mr. Moses go free and send to prison young men who never had any advantages, either social or educa? tional. Ho did not agree that this was a Eetty offense* No sensitive man would b engaged in such business, aud it was time it was stopped. Mr. Goodrich urged that Moses be sent to the Keforma tory Prison, but Judge Aldrich said he did not think the Reformatory Prison was made for graduates of colleges And Governors. He felt required by every sense of propriety and duty to treat it as a serious oBense. The Judge tbeu im? posed a sentence of three years in the State Prison. Moses seemed dazed by the sentence, and he was led away by an officer like a little child. A Charleston Tragedy, Charleston, S. C, October 2. There is much excitement in this city to-day over the killing at 10 o'clock this morning of Stepney Riley, colored, by Armor M. Bellinger? County Physician, and one of the most esteemed men in Charleston. Riley was known as "Dem? ocrat Riley," and had for years been a very enthusiastic Democrat. He was very wealthy for a colored man, owning a hack line and a livery stable on the corner of Smith and Bull streets, where be was killed. Rile., was shot through six times. Dr. Bellinger is in jail and has made no statement, but bis friends say that he saw the negro Riley whipping a horse unmercifully, and remonstrated with him. Riley cursed him and started to? wards him with a loaded whiphandle, when Dr. Bellinger shot him in self defense. There is said to have been no witnesses present. There are rumors of an entirely differ ent cause for the killing, but it cannot be published unless given in evidence. The community are generally of the opinion that Dr. Bellinger did not com? mit the deed wantonly or without cause. The Coroner's jury viewed the body and adjourned till Monday.?Dispatch to the Columbia Register. He saw the Glowing Meteor. Claysille, Pa., September 80.?The aerolite, or meteoric stone, which caused the loud delouatious heard throughout the greater part of Washington and Al? legheny Counties' on Saturday last, fell upon the farm of Mr. Buckland, in Jef? ferson Township, near the West Virginia line, instead of Cecil, as reported. Ellis Janes, a mail carrier, witnessed the fiery mass iu its flight through the hoavens. He said he never beheld a more awful or impressive sight. His horse suddenly stopped and he hoard a noise as if the winds were rushing by with great violence. Moving high above him with incredible velocity was a huge mass, which he de? scribes as resembling a great coal of fire as large as the largest barn he ever saw. There appeared to be attached to it an immense flame of a deeper color than the coal, which tapered off into a dark tail. All in a moment, Mr. Jones says, the noise accompanying it ceased; the fire-like appearance, the flame aud tbe black tail disappeared and in their stead the stone assumed a whitish blue color, which it retained until it passed out of his sight. When the stone fell a mile beyond it broke into three pieces. It is grayish in color, with a tendency to red in streaks and is more than thirty feet square. The people are flocking to see the wonder in great numbers. ? Tho men most willing to take risks are those who have nothing to lose. ?

Tbe truth is that tbe only reason why the separation has not been complete between Nellie Grant and her husband has been because of her inability to obtain possession of her three children. Sartoris has been brutal in bis treatment of her, and she does not waut to live with him. If the children ever get to this side of the water tbey will never be allowed to go back again. If Mrs. Sartoris gets possession of them she will probablv, after the mourning in tbe Grant family ends, bring suit for a divorce from the brutal, unappreciative creature sho married.
