COLUMBIA, & C.
Tuosiay Mor mn*:, October IO. 1871.
Three of the most important elections
will be held to-day, the 10th of Ootobor,
viz: Ohio, Pennsylvania and Iowa. Ohio
elects a Governor, State officers and Le?
gislature; the Legislature will elect a
United States Senator, to succeed Sena?
tor Sherman. Pennsylvania elects an
Auditor, Surveyor-General and members
of the Legislature. Iowa will elect a
Governor, State officers and a Legisla?
ture, which will ahoose a United States
Senator, in place of Slr. Harlan.
Prince Bismarck does not succeed vory
well, apparently, in his attempts to Ger?
manize his new acquisitions of Alsace
and Lorraine. The municipality of
Strasbourg has quite recently elected, by
a vote of twenty-five to throe, a Mayor,
whose popularity oonsists solely in bia
opposition to German annexation.
Worse than tbis, the officials, elected by
the Germans, are compelled in their
dealings with the people to nse French
coin,-as no other is offered them nor will
any other be accepted in return. Again,
when the : German generals, in order to
conciliate the inhabitants, deoided tbat
their offioers sbould no longer be quar?
tered on the citizens, and advertised for
all tbe apartments that were to be let,
they reoeived no answers whatever, but
upon application the offioers were in?
formed they were "not wanted as lodgers.
Every indication pointB to a strong de?
termination on.the.part'of the people of
the two annexed provinces uot to submit
quietly to German, annexation; and if
Prince Bismarck wants Alsace and Lor?
raine, he has got to hold them just as be?
got them-by force ?T ar?is. .
THE CRISIS IN MORMONDOM. - Joe
Smith, tho founder, of M${tyqnbmr was
killed in 1844, and Brigham Young was
then chosen first President of the Church.
This was while the Mormons were in Il?
linois. Salt Lako City was founded in
1848. Congress organized the country
occupied by tbe Mormons into the Ter?
ritory of Utah, of which Brigham Young
was) appointed Governor by Pr?sident
Fillmore, but WOB soon removed, .in con?
sequence of bis foroing the' Federal
Judges, by threats of violence, to leave
Utah. Brigham, however, refused to
give np his position, and varions out?
rages whioh followed determined Presi?
dent Buchanan to Bend a military force
there. The expedition ended in a com?
promise, by which the rebellious Mor?
mons who submitted to the Federal au?
thority were pardoned, and the troops
entered Suit Lake Valley. Brigham has
continued chief President of tho Church.
It appears from late despatches that be
has been arrested, os well us Mayor Da?
niel H. Wells, and will be held to trial
for bigamy, or "lewdly and licentiously
cohabiting with different women," and,
also, it is reported, for murder. The
Mormons, as yet, show no indications of
resistance. It is possible that they have
learned enough by thia time of tho mili?
tary power of the United States not to
repeat the insurrectionary experiment
made under President Buchanan. It is
a noteworthy fact that the first proceed?
ings, against Brigham are in pursuance
of a law enacted by the Mormons them?
selves. In all the statutes of that Ter?
ritory, there are but two brief seotions
that in any way refer to the subject of
marriage, and both of them are evident?
ly intended to encompass the Gentiles
only. It is for the violation of seotion
83, of an "Act in relation to crimes and
punishments," that Brigham is arrested,
to wit:
"If any man or woman, not bei pg,
married to each other, lewdly uud lasci?
viously associate und cohabit together;
or if any man or woman, married or un?
married, is guilty of ope? and gross
lewdness, every person so offeudiug
shall be punished by imprisonment not
exceeding ten years and not lees than
six months, and lined not more than
$1,000 and not less than $100, or both,
at tho discretion of the court."
SHALL THEY RB REMOVED?-Wo com?
mend to the consideration of Governor
Scott the following extract from tho
presentment of the grand jury of An?
derson County, printed in the Intelli?
gencer of Ootober 6:
"They farther present that some of
the Trial Justices ure notoriously known
as being frequently drunk, so much so
as to incapacitate, them from properly
discharging the duties df their offices,
and to greatly delay the administration
of justice; and we recommend to the
Legislature the great propriety of enact?
ing some law, providing that all tho
County officers, including Trial Justices,
shall be eleoted by the people."
Tho looal of the Greensboro Patriot
has seen a white oak log brought through
that place which measured 16>? feet cir?
cumference at tbe butt. It wau out from
the Guilford Court House battle-field.
London bas invented a new and ole
g>nt water-proof clonk. It is of boiled
silk, lined with rubber. It is a perfect
protection from wet, besides hoi uti a
rather elegant looking garment.
PUESTO 1 CHANOS. -Hie Excellency Go
vcmor Scott has been "interviewed" by
ooo of the attach?es of tbe Courier,
whom be assured tUat he bad been mis
repru8entod by tho' Columbia Union,
wbioh administration organ bad incor?
rectly reported bis speeoh. The speech
in question was delivered by Governor
Scott, la?t week, before the Republican
State Central Committee, in Columbia,
and was reported by the Union as fol?
lows:
"The Governor addressed tho meeting
by invitatiou, expressing his' d?termina?
tion'to exhaust his powers to snppresH
tho Ku Klux Organization, and assured
thu committee that measures hud been
taken to moko tbe session of tba next
United States Court ia this city as me?
morable to - the mid-night assassins aa
was tho late session of tbe court presided
over by Judge Bond, in Raleigh. Hu
said that every pledge of the Democratic
leaders in the up-couutry, and the
pledges of the same party in the Tax
Payers' Convention, bad beon broken,
and that he had no louger any faith in
anything but the strong arm of power."
But the Governor now protests that
he said nothing of the kind. His
own version of the speech is vory differ?
ent. In reply to tbe Courier corres?
pondent, who asked what the speech
really was, Governor Soott sahl:
Governor-Ia my speech before the
committee, whiob lasted only ten mi?
nutes, I was careful to avoid any allusion
to the Democratic party. The commit?
tee bad been dieoassing martial law, ard
were severely condemning some of my
recent appointments. I stated that I
was glad that they had como to tbe same
conciliai ou as myself as to the proper
policy to bo pursued. I believed in the
ebforoomeut of theo? vii law, as it is tho
only law ia arepublioby which the liber?
ties of tho people can - be preserver!. I
said we had had enough of martial law
ia 1865 and 18138 to convince mo'that it
was not the proper remedy for our evils.
Reporter-Then you -ure opposed to
martial law?
Governor-Most unequivocally, and
my principal object in making that speech
was to show those men who are so clam?
orous for martial law that they are pur-'
suing a mistaken policy. . -
Reporter-Well, how. about the 'vio?
lated pledges that you alluded to?
Governor-I did not make any accu?
sations against the Democratic party.
.Reporter-What about tho Tax-payers'
Convention?
Governor-There, again, I have been
incorrectly reported.' Ia my speeoh I
said I hoped the action of the Tax-pay?
ers4 Convention would' have done muoh
to quiet the people, and I regret to say
that, too, had failed.

NBOBO DBUTS AGAIN-.-At the laat term
of the Court of Common Pious for this
County, the question of negro debts was
brought directly before the oourt. Suit
had been brought upon a note, which
was shown by the evidence to have been
given in part for the purchase money of
a negro slave. In charging the jory,
his Honor Judge Orr stated that when
elected to office he bad taken au oath to
support the Constitution of this State;
that a clause of that Constitution ex?
pressly forbade the collection of debts,
the consideration of which was the pur?
chase money of a slave or slaves; that in
his opinion thin plauso was not incon?
sistent with any portion of the Constitu?
tion of the United States, which also h?
had Bworn to support, and that, there?
fore, he was coustrained by the. oath
which be had taken to oharge them that
they could not, cousistently .with law,
dud a verdict lon that portion of the
debt whiob was for a slave. He stated
that he had a distinguished precedent in
disregarding tlie late decision of the Su?
preme Court of thia State deoluriug such
debts oolleotublo.-. That Judge Earle, in
tho oaso of the State va. McBride, and
upon somewhat similar grounds', had re?
fused to regard a decision of. the then
Supreme Court, aud had beeu sustained
by the remodelled Supreme Court which
heard tho case on appeal. Tho jury were
out but a few minutes, and in their ver?
dict ignored the negro, part of the debt.
Wo do not know whether an appeal will
be taken or not.

MURDEH OF A RAILROAD AGENT.-We
learn that on Saturday eveniug or early
on Sunday morning, the agent of the
North-eastern Railroad,|W. ii. Fidea, at
Oakley, (a station about twenty-seven
miles from the city.) was murdered. His
body was found io the depot on Sunday
morning. The contents of the depot
were apparently undisturbed, but bia
wife, who was absent at the time cf his
murder, states that he had been robbed
of about $700, supposed to be mostly of
his own earnings.-Charleston Courier.

Origin of Agricultural fair?.
KINO DAVID OF THE JEWS PBBSIDENT OF
THE VISS!! AOBIOOI/TOBAD FAIB.
? The follow i up; is taken from the
Farmer*a Home Journal:
Ot tlio multifarious objects to which
the interests and attention of- David,
King of the Jews, woe directed in pro?
moting the national policy of bia peo?
ple, we have, in a very brief recital of
tba organization of the "home depart?
ment," a glimpse' of the prosperous
state of agriculture, in. tho latter part of
his reign. It ap" peats ifom First Glironi
ules, 27, that, in tho department of the
interior were twelve distinct aubordinute
departments of o Qi ces, tho incumbents
of which were doubtless of tin; first in?
telligence und skill, each of his nppropri*
ate business. These oflioes were in tbe
following numerical order: 1. Treasury;
2. Overseer of Stures; 3. Tillage: 4.
Vineyard?; 5. Wino Cellurs; t?. Ulive
Crees; 7. Oil Cellars; 8. Shara a Herd
man; 9. Valley Herdmuu; 10. Camel
Overseer; ll. Overseer of Asses; 12.
Shepherds.
David's wars had ended-his ouemieH
subdued-the nation was Nettling down
tn peace. The military chieftuiu, from
piuuuiitg and conducting campaigns, be?
came tho Presideut of the National Agri?
cultural ?Society. It was un era in the
history of David and of tho nation-a
delightful epooh in tbe un nala of the
world-the formation of au agricultural
society. Tho orgimizatiou is proof, not
only of the prosperous condition of
agriculture at that timeuinoug the Jews,
but marks the wisdom of David, of
whom it must be admitted that he was
the originator or founder of agricultural
societies.
The progress of tho nation during
David's reign was very grout, aa it was
only iu the next preceding reign and
geueratiou undor Philistine servitude
that it is related that "there wau no
smith found throughout the hind of
Israel, but all the Israelites went down
to tho Philistines to sharpen every mau
his share, und his coulter, and his axe
aud mattock."' Bat in David's reign the
whole country seems to haye been re?
solved iuto one grout putout farm, under
tho combined superintendence of the
"twelve," a unmber so familiar and pro?
minent iu the national annals. If .the
first agricultural societies had not the
appendages of a cattle show, und the
annual uutumnal fuir which pertain? to
societies of modern times, its instructor,
o's briefly sketched in the sacred history,
.had all the important elements obtained
by those of the present day, ufter a
laps?! of 3,000 years.
Immediately succeeding the account
of David's agricultural society, which
appears to have been among the first
acts of his life in farming, is his farewell
address. The address was delivered to
the vast assembly composed of princes,
various officers, civil, religious aud mili?
tary, instituted and appointed by his
classifying hand, and a great concourse
of people. The occasion was in striking
contrast to his flights in earlier days from
cave to cave. Tho war clouds that huug
dark, lowering and heavy, were uow all
dissipated, and his unclouded Betting sun
abone with softened but muguiticeut
splendor, in that it was the birtb-duy of
agricultural societies, the offspring of
peace.

The historian, writing of those days, re?
marks thal Jeffreys "tdiowed the people

LAW NORTH AND SOUTH.-Tko New

story that there aro 16,000 men in New
York aud Brooklyn banded together and
bound by oath to servo as election "re?
peaters," according to the direction of
their chiefs. Other sensational details
are given. This organization, if it exist,
comes within the direct terms of the
charge delivered by Judge Bond, of the
United States Circuit Court, lo the jury
in tho cases of tho unfortunates who
have fallen tinder Government prosecu?
tion in North Carolina. The Judge
charged, in terms, that any organization
of this nature was a conspiracy tindei
tho Ku Klux Act of Congress, every
member of whiob was responsible for
auy act of political outrage committed
by any other member. According to
this ruling and the Times' story, 15.000
men in New York aro subject to flue
varying from $500 to S"),0U0 and impri?
sonment from two t<i live years, ut the
hands of the United States Marshal aud
Judges. In order to nuderstand what
hus beeu done in North Carolins, it ?H
necessary to suppose these New Yorkers
arrested upon irresponsible accusations,
carried wholesale to Suboharie County,
tried b?fure ? jufy picked, by the Mar?
shal in Counties where political feeling is
bitterest, and in such a way that the
whole of them shall be partisan Repub?
licans. It is not easy eveu to fancy Mich

far worse, ure those winch have been
