Mr. Cannon, of Nebraska, has intro* ^^^'ditced;a bill into the House entitled: %q?J:*JL bill to provide pensions for the freed ^?|;<"^en oif the South." Briefly thispsopo ^f^m??a is to pension every emancipated ? ^st-ivo under fifty yeara of age at the rate ;{. of $4 per; month; all ex slaves of fifty l^/^iyeara at the rate of $8 per month, with a : .:; bciunty of ?100; all of sixty years at thu v'{{;.; rate of $12 per month, with a bounty of ?|^^^G0; and all of seventy years at the rate of $12 per month, with a bounty of ?500. ^e.-.bin provides that the Secretary of the Interior shall be charged with the disbursement of the vast sums necessary i meet this new claw of pension claims.

One wanted mere pol? itics, another more social and personal gossip, while a third wished to taboo all rs?nalities and; social gossip. The It was very perplexing, and showed '-that each able editor had his- "fad," pwhich :he was disposed to indulge at the sexpense of his readers. It may safely be ^^ud:that the "ideal" newspaper does not ;|and will not until all readers share ? same tastes. The.best, newspaper i3 ? one which aims to give alt the genu ; ine news of the day, to expose fraud wherever it be found and to defend the interests of the people against the designs of monopolies and big corporations. If .a newspaper fills these conditions it ;i3?mes .as near, to the ideal as can be ex? pected;' _ Two new States will in all probability " ba admitted to the Union before the November elections. The House has '.. already passed bills Tor admitting the ? -'"{territories of Idaho a ad Wyoming, and v.-the bills have been if the hands of the : Senate committee on territories for some , ;;time. Senator Platt, chairman of the committee in charge of the bills, says that he proposes to get the bills up at S the first possible moment, and thinks V^there 'is no danger of their failing to puss, as the Republicans; are determined I to.. pass_ ..them, both before Congress .. adjourns. Idaho adopted a constitution last November, the vote being 12,398 for adopting to 1,773 against, showing a . majority of 10,625 for the constitution. At the same time a'constitution was sub? mitted to the people of Wyoming, the vote being 6,272 for adoption to 1,932 {against adoption, showing a majority of { 1,849 in favorToT adoption. Wyoming, {it will be seen, cast little more than ;S,000 votes, which is rather a small num bdt to have two members of the Senate and one of. the House. It will be, in point of number of voters, the smallest i^Stafe in the union. Below we publish a circular directed to the Intelligencer from the Superin? tendent of the Census, which we desire to call especial attention to. The mort? gage, indebtedness of the State has all been finished?that is, all mortgages recorded from 1880 to 1890 have been abstracted from the books in every County. In thia State three Counties Anderson, Laurens and Colleton?were selected by the government as "inquiry Counties," in which the mortgagors are asked why the mortgages were given. In order to complete the work satisfactorily it behooves the people of the County to' reply at once to the inquiries. Such replies 'are strictly confidential, the gen? tlemen in charge of the work being under ; bath to consider the information private: Messrs. D. H. Bnssell and R. B. Davis, with Mr. "WV Y. Miller as clerk, have charge of this? work in Anderson County. Bead this circular: Editors Intelligencer : The Coun? ties of Laurehs, Colleton and Anderson in the State of South Carolina, have been selected for the purpose of making a spe? cial investigation of real estate mortgage indebtedness. Inquiries will be addressed to the owners bf mortgaged real estate, and in some cases to the holders of mort? gages, to ascertain tho amounts unpaid and the reasons for incurring the debts. The answers will be strictly confidential, and in no case will be. revealed to any private person or public officer outside of the Census office, whose employes are all sworn to preserve the secrecy of the .in? formation. - It is hoped that the interest in the mortgage question, which prevails everywhere throughout this country, will enlist the co operation of every one to whom these requests are.made. This in? vestigation is authorized by act of Con? gress in response to a general demand on the part of the people that it shall be I made, and it now rests upon the people to make some necessary contributions to its success. Very respectfully, Robert B. Porter. ? Superintendent of Census, EARLS AND TILLHAN. Rev. G. 0. Rankin, D. D,, of Tennes? see, who is visiting in this State, in writing to the Southern Clirislian Advocate, gives the following pen picture of Col. Earle and Capt.Tillman. The meeting referred to was at Spartanburg : . I remained over until Wednesday afternoon and took in a rare feature of South Carolina life, namely : The pres . ent political struggle between Captain Tillman and General Earle. Did yon ever see a Tennesseean who was not in? terested in politics ? So yon need not be surprised when I tell you that I went out to the encampment to hear these two distinguished South Carolinians confront each othor on the hustings. To mo it was an interesting conflict. General Earle was the first to speak. He is a fine looking specimen of manhood. His eye is as fierce as an eagle's and his per? sonnel very imposing. In fact I never aaw a much finer looking man than he. He is able, cultivated and adroit on the platform. His words are measured and hia statements are clean-cut and careful! His speech on that occasion was not one j of extraordinary power; but it was clear, I strong and logical. He was somewhat I embarrassed by the fact that the crowd seemed rather against him. Captain Tillman is to all appearances a very plain and unpretentious man. He looks like a good, practical farmer. His face indi? cates tenacity of purpose and strength of character. He is a very effective speak? er. He is desperately in earnest, and he knows how to arouse-the enthusiasm of Iiis followers. He is quick at repartee and at times very sarcastic. All in all, he is a hard man to handle on the stump. I have, nothing to say on the merits of the matter; but I do want to say that I was pleased with the gentlemanly bearing of these two opponents toward each 'other. True, they struck some hard blows; but so far as I could see they both ? maintained the dignity of their position and character, and there seemed to be nothing personally unpleasant be? tween them. AN AUGUST CONVENTION Called by the State Democratic Executive - Committee. The meeting of the State Democratic 'Executive Committee held last night proved as important as had been prog? nosticated. The committee met in the Carolina Bank at 8:30 last night, and when ad? journment was reached midnight was but a half hour away. There were present sixteen of the twenty-two members constituting the committee. Chairman J. A. Hoyt of Greenville presided and Colonel Wilie Jones acted as secretary, and the follow? ing other members of the committee were in attendance: R. D. Lee of Sumter, W. H. Brawley of Charleston, W. F. Fish burne of Walterboro, M. B. McSweeney of Hampton, 0. F. Cheatham of Edge field^ E. B." Murray of Anderson, E. P. . Gary of Abbeville, J. E. Boggs of Pick ens,.N; B. Dial of Laurens, M. J. Hough of Lancaster, C. S. McCall of Bennetts ville, C. A. Wood of Marion, J. F. Rhame of Manning, John C. Haskell, Columbia ex "officio. The following resolution was adopted, being proposed by R. D. Lee of Sumter, but amended somewhat: i "Whereas, There is a widespread de? mand by the Democrats of this State for the election of delegates to the State nominating convention by County pri? mary elections: be it . "Resolved, That- a convention of the Democratic party of South Carolina is hereby called to meet in the hall of the House of Representatives in the city of Columbia on Wednesday, the 13th day of August, at 12 m., for the sole and ex? clusive purpose of determining whether delegates to the State nominating con? vention to be held on the 10th day of September, thereafter, shall be elected by a primary election to be held on a day certain throughout the State, and for no other purpose whatsoever; and the num? ber of* delegates to be elected by each County, shall be equal to double the number of representatives in each branch of the General Assembly to which each County is entitled." Colonel Wille Jones offered another resolution to the following effect, which was adopted: Resolved, That the call for a State nominating convention heretofore order? ed to meet in Columbia on September 10th, be and the same is hereby confirm? ed. Still another resolution was adopted as follows: Whereas it is the duty of the executive committee under the constitu? tion to direct the policy of the party, be it "Resolved, That the several Counties of the State be earnestly requested not to elect delegates to the September con? vention until the question of electing by primary election is determined." . The committee adopted the following resolution, offered by Mr. Lee: "Resolved, That in order to enlighten the people upon the condition of public affairs and the administration of the government, that the special sub-com? mittee be authorized to prepare and dis? tribute throughout the State such prin? ted matter as in their judgment maybe wise and proper, and that sufficient funds of this committee be, and hereby are, appropriated for that purpose, instruct ! ing the appointment of a clerk." The special committed referred to con? sists of Colonel Hoyt, Secretary Jones, and Messrs. C. S. McCall, John C. Has? kell and J. E. Boggs.?Columbia Rigister June 26._ ? Mr. J. W. Powers, the cotton king of Webster County, Georgia, proposes to grind up 700 bushels of peas, the balance of a great crop fed to his stock, and use the material as a fertilizer for his cotton crop. The peas are worth 85 cents to $1 per bushol, but he expects to get a better return from them in the manner indicated, - "Let Your Mud oration bo Known Unto, all Men." Mr. Editor : Allow me through your columns to say a few things to my friends and fellow-citizens. For once in a life? time of more than half a century I ven? ture to address you, friends and citizens, through the press. Heretofore I have been content to exercise my rights and discharge my duties as a citizen in a quiet way, but the present excited condition of the public mind in regard to the political issues of the day, and the deep and abiding interest which I feel in the welfare of our State, has iuduced me to depart from my usual course, and ask to be heard this one time. I wish to say, in the beginning, that I am a farmer and the son of a farmer?al? most all of my relatives are farmers. I am fully identified with the farmer and the farming interests of our common country. While this is true, I think I can go even farther, in saying that I claim to be a Christian patriot; so I speak to my broth? er -.-farmers, my Christian brethren and fellow-patriots, and beg, in the name of all we held dear as citizens of this grand .old State, that yon speak and act thought? fully and wisely at this critical period in our history. One who takes a calm and dispassionate view of the present political agitation and excitement in our State, can but fear the results which must inevitably follow, unless the people stop and think; and this is what I. beg that you do??ton and ihink. . We glory in the fact that the government under which we ore privileged to live is "of the people, by the people, and for the people." While our citizenship secures to us the right as individuals to assis t in shaping and directing the government un? der which we live, it also imposes solemn duties and responsibilities upon ua. This no one can deny. This, then, being true, we should guard against any undue ex? citement which would in any way disqual? ify us for discharging those grave and re? sponsible duties resting upon us as citi? zens. Do not allow yourselves to be carried away, by men or measures, to such an extent as that you may not he ab e to keep inviolate the trusts committed to you. I wish to say to the Christian men of our County that there arc duties resting upon you which you cannot disregard with im? punity. In that Book which was given from Heaven as a guide in all the relations of life^-in that Book which you prize above all other books?we find these words, so eminently applicable at the present time: "Let your moderation be known unto all men." And again: "Blessed are the peace-makers, for they shall be called the children of God." Yours is a religion of peace and good will toward men, not One of anger, strife and bitterness. May we not expect you, at this critical moment, to be known as-men of moderation ? Your Heavenly Father requires it of yon j your fellow-countrymen have a right to expect it of you. It is not yours to disturb, but to pour oil upon the troubled waters. Christian men of South Carolina, act upon the principles and in the spirit of the re ligion which you profess. By your peace? making spirit and efforts let yourselves be known as the children of God. To one and all, citizens and voters of the State, let us avoid the extremes in actions or utter? ances which engender strife and discord, which arouse feelings of bitterness between brethren, neighbors and friends7 from which no good can come, but a vast amount of harm. Farmers, as a class, have never figured largely as leaders in politics before.but have risen, as-if by magic, in their strength, and propose to accomplish much, as they be ? Jieve, for the good of the State; but let us bear in mind our want of experience in these things and act with great caution, lest we bring reproach upon ourselves? lest we do things, in the midst of excite? ment, of which we would be ashamed in the moment of calm reflection. Let us select our best men to fill the offices, let them be who they may. We want good men, true men?men who can rise above and get out of self; men who, in their pub? lic capacity, can really and truly be the honored servants of the people. Our State is one of the best in the union?her people as good, as noble, as patriotic as can be found any where ; and with the reforms and corrections that can be easily brongbt about by wise and judicious management, our State government will be all that we could reasonably expect. Remember, that our State has been, is now, and will be, what the people make it. Let me, in conclusion, urge moderation in the present political crisis. R. W. Buets. Honea Path, S. 0. Music and Her Slater Song. Mr. Editob : I was invited on June 13th to the rural and very pleasant town of Bel ton, to attend the musical recital of the pupils of Miss Cornish, who, during the past term, has filled the position of vocal and instrumental teacher in the Bel ton High School. Arriving via the rapid transit train that leaves Anderson at 3 p. m., I was cordially received and pleasantly entertained by Prof. Kemp and his very agreeable wife, and immediately felt my? self- en rapport with my surroundings, although a stranger in a strange rest? ing place. In the evening in spite of a threatened warring of the elements, we proceeded to McGbb'b Hall, and there found assembled the elite and beauty of Belton. Handsomely printed programmes were distributed by gentlemanly and polite ushers, and the piano, which stood with its end to the audience, in order that the fingering of the pupils might be distinctly seen, soon became the receptacle of lovely flcral offerings which, however, were not more beautiful than the natural rose buds grouped upon the platform awaiting the plaudits of an appreciative audience. The following programme will give some idea to a musician of the style of music rendered upon this occasion: Trovotore Overture?Misses Stringer and Rice. - Rondo, Diabelll?Misses Clinkscalesaud Geer. Le Tyrol, Wallace?Misses Rice and Clinkacales. Adele Waltz, Kieselhorst?Misses Swear engin and Cornish. Aubade, Diabelli?Misses Holloway and CorniBh. Violin and Organ?Mr. Claude Breaz eale and Miss Georgia McDavid. Come with the Gypsy Bride, Balfe, and Bridal Maroh, Wagner, Organ Solo?MisB Corrie Poore. The Summer Sea, Vocal?Miss Daisy Rice. ? Redemption Polka and Mexican Waltz ?Miss Mattie Brown. Last Rose of Summer?Miss Eva Strin? ger. Dancing Wave and Little Cradle Song, K?hler, Organ Solo?Miss Kate Cox. The Chimes, Spindler?Miss Anna Clinkscales. Violin and Organ?Mr. Claude Breazi eale and Miss Georgie McDavid. The Clang of the Wooden Shoon, Mol loy, Rock-a-By, Norris, and Gno Mener gen, Liszt?Miss Cornish. It was indeed refreshing, and almost brought a breath of unter der linden to hear in the Piedmont range of South Carolina "tone music,9' rendered quite in the style Imetique, and with all that attention to Igbt and shade which is to be the laurel crown of the music of the future. In conclusion I would most sincerely congratulate the sweet young girls who had attained such proficiency in the lost term, and were such a credit to their teacher; and I hope that the strains of Liszt, Wagner, Diabelli, Spindler, Kiesel h?rst, Kohier and Verdi, may always be among the key notes of their repertoires, instead of the rough hurdy-gurdy, gener? ally styled the national music of America. KlL COURTLAND. The Moonshine King lu a Bad Scrape. A report reaches here that Lewis R. Redmond, the noted ex-moonshiner, fatally stabbed Jim Smith, the son of a well known saw mill man, at Walhalla, on Sunday afternoon or night. Only the most meagre particulars of the affair could be learned yesterday, but it is said that Redmond was riding with two women of dissolute character. He went into a barber shop to get a shave. While in the shop Smith .took the women away with him* Redmond was maddened and fol? lowed Smith. Overtaking him, he assaulted the raau viciously, cutting bim horribly. Smith was reported as dying on Sunday night. What became of Red? mond is not known. The ex-moonshiner has lately been living at West Union, a small town adjoining Walhalla. He had a contract to supply wood for the R. & D. Road. Before going to West Union he was employed in a government distillery at Walhalla as a superintendent, and the "Redmond'' brand of whiskey was famed all over-the South, After being pardoned by President Cleveland, Redmond retired to a farm near Easley to gain his health, and to live in peace with his faithful wife and family* It is said that he would occasionally drink heavily after he had been liberated several years and was then disposed to be quarrelsome and in hia old mood. He bad, however,' gained the respect and good will of bis neighbors.? Greenville Jmes, June 30. ?

Greenville News. Hemingway Conylcted. Jackson, Miss., June27?The trial of ex Treasurer Hemingway ended to-day in a verdict of guilty. Motions for a new trial were overruled and Judge Chrisman asked the prisoner if he had anything to say. He replied in a five minutes tirade of abuse against District Attorney Miller, and asserted his innocence on the charge of stealing $315,612 from the State. Pointing to the District Attorney, he said, with choking voice and tears in bis eyes: "I may go to the penitentiary and may die there, and when I go to the bar of God I may go to hell, but thank God I will never fall to the level of that man." When he had finished his speech the Court sentenced him to five years in the penitentiary. An appeal was taken to the Supreme .Court, ?

Ben Thompson, city marshal of Austin, Texas,, who was killed in a hand-to-hand encounter with Kingfisher in a theatre in San Antonio, had the terrible record of having killed thirteen white men and over twice that many Mexicans and .Indians. He was a hand? some man of 4-3, with small, black mus? tache and hazel eyes. His wife had but one arm. The other had been shattered by a Winchester ball in Denver, when she threw it across her husband's head upon discovering a crouching form draw? ing a bead on him. Ai?ian?eJ Column. ^SS* All communications intended for this Column should be addressed to J. W. Bowden, Denver, S. C. Senator Hampton and the Sub-Treasu? ry BIH. It is very hard for some of us to un? derstand why it is that men who we have been accustomed to look np to, as models of conservative statesmanship, should content themselves with opposing a. measure with bare assertions, seemingly thinking that their opinion was enough for the people to know, without giving any reason for that opinion. Senator Hampton, at the call of the Columbia ring, came all the way from Canada last week to put his veto on the Farmers' Movement, and we suppose be thought while he was about it he would also veto the Alliance, making assertions about the Sub-Treasury system, that he could only have made through dense ig norace or wilful misrepresentation, and we are loath to believe the latter. He says that the bill is unconstitutional, he gives no reason, but we suppose he would give the same reason that Gates, Mills, Carlisle, Butler, Cothran and others have given, namely: Thatit is unconstitution? al for the Government to lend money ? But is it? A National Bank deposits $50,000 in bondB, the Government lends the Bank 45 thousand in currency on them, and the bank pays 1 per cent, to the Government for the use of the 45 thousand. The Sub Treasury bill propo? ses to allow the farmer to deposit 100 dollars worth of cotton, and the Govern? ment will lend him 80 dollars on it, the farmer paying 1 per cent, for the use of it. In neither case does the money loaned come out of the United States Treasury, but is currency issued especially for the purposes named. Now how in the name of justice can Senator Hampton or any? body else Bay that the National Banking system is constitutional and the Sub Treasury 8yittem is unconstitutional? When you boil them down they are identically the same. He says it is folly and nonsense for the Government to bor? row money as 4} per cent, and lend it at 1 per cent. The Sub Treasury bill makes no such proposition, and if be had ever read it, be would know it, and he pre? sumes on the ignorance of the farmers, and especially members of the Alliance, when he talks about their measures in that style. We fear his four days'journey from Canada was wasted, for Alliance men demand of Senator Hampton and all opponents of the Sub-Treasury bill rea? son, instead of assertion, knowledge, in? stead of ignorance, facts, instead of mis? representation. The Honorable Senator has never objected to the National Bank system, nor to the warehouses for whisky distillers, nor to the Windom silver bill, but when the farmers, the men who put him in the position be occupies to day, wants some of the same rights and privi leges that he willingly grants to other classes, be in thrown into an ecatacy of fear that the country is on the road to ruin, which will be speedily accomplished if the farmer is given what he asks for. The Snb-Treasury Plan Must Die. Mr. Seaborn Wright, a lawyer of Rome, Ga., iu a speech on June 21 said the southern members in Congress had held a caucus on the Sub Treasury plan made by the Farmers' Alliance and agreed to abide by a majority vote in caucus. Tho argument was made before that caucus that if they accepted the 3ub-treasury plan it would displace them. The majority voted against the acceptance of the plan, hence the universal combina tion by Southern Congressmen." This accounts for the sameness of all letters coming from these Congressmen to their constituencies condemning the plan. Now to all who want more money and cheaper money, to all who would like to see universal prosperity among all classes, we bid you to seriously consider bow your Congressmen decide matters pertaining to your intercut. Their first question is, can I get back to Congress on this plan. Self interest and a caucus has proven the downfall of several nations that sleep in oblivion, and if not checked by the peo? ple of this country will sweep from under them the last vestige of liberty and prosperity.?Southern Alliance Farmer, Having learned now that implicit faith in party laders, and our ignorance of the bearing and. ultimate effects of the finan? cial legislation of the government, have rendered us and our earnings as easy prey to the non-producing, exploiting class, it behooves us to exercise caution and pru? dence in selecting leaders to whom we entrust our interest, or to whom we dele? gate our privileges of self-government. It would be folly or insanity to entrust or delegate legislative powers to those who already deceived us, or who have cast their votes and influence in obedience to the demands of non-producers and mo? nopolists, thereby completely ignoring the principles of justice to us, their con? stituents. We have elected them to rep? resent us, but they have misrepresented us and .ignored our rights to justice. Those of our representatives and Senators in Congress or in our State Legislatures who can see no practical benefits to us growing out of the measures of relief that we seek from the principle? involved in the sub-treasury bill, wilfully ignore the wrongs that they, as consenting parties, (it may be ignorantly) have inflicted up? on us. There are three principles involv? ed in the sub-treasury bill that lie at the foundation of our prosperity: 1. A currency issued directly from the government; to the producers, and not through the medium of national banks that levy a tax upon the currency suffi? cient to satisfy their insatiable greed. 2. A volume of currency sufficient to transact the business of the country on a cash basis. 3. Flexibility should characterize the volume of currency?capable of expand? ing sufficiently to cover the rapid harvest? ing and marketing all of the great crops of the country, and then contracting aud retiring as rapidly as the demand ceaBes.?A Breadwinner, in Southern Al? liance Farmer. ?. -o A Full Cmnpnlgn Fraud, The gusto with which the politicians endeavor to deride the sub Treasury bill and say, with Senator Carlisle, that the Bub-Treasuries will be a matter of Fede? ral patronage and of course would be in the hands of Republicans is very dis? gusting. If these politicians had not made up their minds, in advance, to op? pose this measure upon the simple ground that it was a farmers measure, they would havo read the bill carefully and would not have displayed their spleen or their ignorance in any such style. By reading the second and third paragraphs of section one of the bill, it will be Been that the danger of their being made a party macbiine was duly guarded agaioBt in Sir. Pickler'a bill. It reads as fol? lows: "Second. Present a good aud sufficient bond for title to a suitable and adequate amount of land to be donated to the gov? ernment of .the United States for the lo? cation of the Sub-Treasury building. "Third. A certificate of election show ing that the site for the location of the sub treasury has been chosen by a popu? lar vote of that county, and also naming the manager of the sub-treasury elected at said election for the purpose of taking charge of said sub treasury under such regulations as shall be prescribed. It shall then be the duty of the secretary of the treasury to proceed without delay to establish a sub treasury department in such county as hereinafter provided." _ It is very plain that this concert uf ac? tion in opposition to the bill is in defiance of the farmers, their wants and demands, and that this action and this defiance is not based upon a study of the bill and its merits, but upon LhiB opinion?so often expressed?that farmers should uot med dle'wilh politics, but should remain at home and make coin and cotton, In other words, they want it understood that all the farmers of all the States are fools, and that all the wisdom of these United States is now monopolized by the members of the present Congress. These wise Congressmen should know, if they do not, that the officers of the sub-Treas? ury will be elected by the people of the counties in which tbey are established and not appointed by any paHy; It is useless to show up this fraud ' ich thpy are attempting to practice upon the peo? ple, for to convince one of these politi? cians of the error of his way would be like whitewashing a "nigger"?it would do very well while he was trying to fool the farmer but he would wash it all off when he got back to his own gang.?Al? liance Farmei'.
