They Better Serve Who Wait.
Some Northern journals have got up |
another Southern bugaboo. They fear,
or affect to fear, that Mr. Lamar, of Mis?
sissippi, or Gen. Gordon, of Georgia, or
Bome other typical Southerner, will be
nominated as a'candidate' for the Prc
sidanoy or Vice-Presidency. They really
havo no just grounds of objection to |
their being run for distinguished posi?
tions. The whole matter with them lies |
in the false postulate of Speaker Blaine,
at Hartford, the other day, when he
urged the sectional argument that tho
North must retain in its hands the con?
trol of affairs, must maintain its supre?
macy over tho South, otherwise tho re?
sults of tho war, tho fruits of the civil
.strife, will be lost So partisans can't
hoar tho idea of Southern men coming
forward yet. Another reason for tho hue
and cry is that it can be made to harrow
up the average Northern soul, and drive
them into a phalanx of opposition?so
it can be turned to profit, and need to
fire the Northern heart. At least, that is
what is meant, although we are happy to
believe that the people North are not as
illiberal as many of their leading politi
?cians. They have not the same amount |
?of office, plunder, gain, selfish advan?
tage on the brain as their politioal guides.
'The scales are falling from their eyes.
As to the candidacy of Southern states?
men, there are, however, good grounds
for not desiring it We have yet a world
of prejudice, ignorance and studied mis?
representation to overcome. We cannot
afford to wake up the slumbering fires of
animosity," to stir the smouldering ashes
of projndico. The people of the United
States, North particularly, like the prodi?
gal son, are coming to, themselves. The j
process is necessarily slow. It is
double conversion whioh they aro to
undergo. And while they are laboring
?with tho problems, the true solution of
whioh so much concern us, we would
regret to see an element of discord, any
step on the part of the South whioh
would disturb the healthy revolution of
opinion whioh is going on there. Our
public men understand the proper
policy. They know how to keep in the
?background. There are greater things
to Bo achieved yet awhile than personal
distinctions. One great section of the
country is to be liberalized and enlight?
ened. The North needs more recon?
struction to-day than the South. What
the Southern States need and require, as
members of tho Union, is what they
cannot1 get till the North is infused and
penetrated with juater ideas, and with
sounder principles of government. The
Tribune need not be alarmed by any
supposed "boost" of Mr. Lamar towards
the Presidential nomination, and Senator
Gordon will not allow his name to be
used as a candidate for the Vice-Pr6si
denoy. As men they need no higher
position to set off their merits, as. pa?
triots thoy not only can afford, but pre?
fer to wait.
Very Much Mistaken.
The Winnsboro News does an injustice
in attributing to us a change of opinion
upon the merits of the so-called bonanza
bill. There is nothing to give even a color?
ing to this imputation, but a reference in
our local columns to views whioh, wo
were assured by respectable parties, were
entertained of the measure by respectable
persons in Columbia. While satisfied
that they were mistaken, we were unwill?
ing to shut out from public knowledge
the fact whioh they asserted and wished
to have expressed. In the matter of the
reconsideration of purpose to servo on
the part of one of the Commissioners, wo
merely gave voice to information that
was' brought to us. It was not our affair,
whether ho declined to aot or not In
mentioning, upon the authority of a re
speotahle gentleman, that he would act,
we merely stated a fact, and did not favor
the view that tho Commissioners should
act, or that the-bill was a proper ono in
itself under which to aot Upon that
point we had expressed ourselvos in quite
another way. So our contemporary,
whioh we are sure would not do us any
intentional wrong, will see that we have
not been "putting forward this bill
rather mildly in our local columns."
Our opinions from the first have under?
gone and could undergo no ohange. If
our contemporary will take the trouble
to look, it will find nothing whioh to the
smallest extent negatives what we say,
oxoopt tho statement of a '?prevailing
opinion" about the bill, as above referred
to, and a communication signed "Tax?
payer," whioh vt?h conclusively answered
uaXw ??Y, G? ihvOihoi d1u6, by *xuuuUD."
Wo concede that thio statement should
have been more^iosely scanned, particu?
larly ?* it has led'to the; misconception
of jth^^/ TJutU Viw due to ^plAk?
onoej ononv part, towards gdntlemon en?

Tho Patriotic Cordon.
The Atlanta Herald publishes the
views of Senator Gordon on the present
situation, in which ho explainable phi?
losophy of tho Grooloy movement, and
maintains that it was the necessary fore?
runner of a success to be achieved in
1876 upon a platform of just principles
and general harmony and peace between
all sections of tho country. He thinks
that a straight Demoorat can be elected
upon it With reference to his own no?
mination for tho Vice-Presidency, he
used tho following sensible and patriotic
language. He says that ho would not,
?'under any circumstances," allow his
namo to bo used:
"Even if I were nominated I should
withdraw my name. My reasons for this
statement?to-day mado public for the
first time?aro that I believe that a South- ,
ern man on the ticket would weaken it. I
And as much as nersonal ambition might
tempt me to yield to tho partial sugges?
tions of my friends, I would not, for all
the honors in tho gift of tho American
Seople, feel that I had boen the means of
riving one man from the Bupport of
that ticket on whose success deponds the
future peaae and prosperity of my coun?
try. I have but one object?that is the
re-establishment of harmony, of good
will, and of good government. To this
end nil things olse shall be secondary. I
have had letters from committees, from
friends and from sympathizer^ asking mo
to allow the use ui xuy name in this con?
nection.. I now give them, through you,
my authorized and unalterable answer.
We oocupy to-day .very much the posi?
tion assigned in tho East, after the cru?
sades, Richmond Ceur de Leon. For
nearly 100 years afterwards, when a horse
would shy around a bush, tho rider
would ask if ho saw a Richard; and mo?
thers frightened their babes into quiet
by telling them Riohord was coming.
Just so these Radicals are attempting to
frighten tho North by constantly har?
rowing them with a rebel's ghost. This
will not have its effect long with peoplo
of sense in any section, however. Yet
bo powerful is this feeling at prosont
that no Southern man who has his coun?
try's good at heart will allow himself
placed in any position calculated to
keep alive these hurtful passions."
Gloomy Prospect.
Gen. Garfield is distressed at tho pros?
pect in tho next Congress of only twenty
five Union officers having to face sixty
eight gentlemen who served in the
Confederate armies. The General's term
is "robol armies," but that don't hurt, and
will, by and by, be abandoned even by
the shallow pates who have long rolled it
as a sweet morsel under tho tongue. We
are sorry for these truly "loil" ossifers,
and would have been pleased had Con?
necticut sent back Joe Hawloy to rein?
force their slender squad, particularly as
he is of the typo whioh repudiates Grant,
the third term, the Southern outrage sys ?
tem, Ac. But such a life. One goes up
and another goes down. The wheel
turns, and out leaps a new fate. Loyalty
has had a good run, but now that it is
detected to be in complicity with fraud,
pillage and oppression, it is getting below
par.
Connecticut foots up a sweeping over?
throw of the Republicans. Govornor
Ingersoll has 9,528 majority over Greene,
and 6,856 majority over both Greene and
Smith, the temperance candidate. Tho
vote is the largest ever cast in tho State,
showing that it is the fairest possible ex?
pression of the people on tho issues
forced upon thorn from Washington.
Gen. Hawley is defeated by 488, and
Kellogg by 1,500. Starkweather is re
elected by 791, a greatly reduced majo?
rity, and Barnum by 2,235, nn increase
of some 500. The Senate has 15 Demo?
crats and Liberals to 6 Republicans, and
tho House has a majority of about 20 of
the same faith. It strikes us that if there
is one thing that tho Administration
can't do, it is running elections at long
range from bayonets, unless it be to run
them clean out of sight to the other side.
South Carolina and Massachusetts.?
Tho Boston Advertiser, a Republican
paper, says:
Two events of recent occurronco have
done much to knit together again in mu?
tually respectful confidence the people
of the two States, which stood shoulder
to shoulder in tho days of tho revolution,
but have had in the interval much bitter
and evor-to-bc-rogretted antagonism. We
refer to the return of tho flog of the fam?
ous Fifty-fourth Regiment, to be deposit?
ed with the rest in the Doric Hall of our
State House, and the presentation by
citizens of Boston to the Washington
Light Guard of Charleston of a national
flag emblazoned with the looked shields
of the two States. These acts were testi?
monials of right feeling and goodwill,
and it is to bo hoped they ore sincere
tokens of a friendly relation, that, when
fully re-established, will never again be
disturbed. Let the painful feuds of the
past be buried with the cause of them,
and the two representative common?
wealths of the North end the South join
hands, once more and hereafter keep
step, as.in the earlier days, irr sorvides
and sacrifices for the,national honor and
glory. In the bonds of a common patri?
otism) there ore for each the satisfaction
of liberty, prosperity and peace..
Ana we say, most heartily and most
cordially, Amen! Amen!

As the cotton planting oeoson is on us,,
wo give Mr. Diokson's rules of planting.
He is known to be the moat 'successful
and skillful planter in the country. Of
course, these rules will undergo modifi?
cations aocording to soils, circum?
stances, Ac, bnt are generally applicable
anal good.
1. Lay off cotton rows four feet apart
with shovel plow, double furrow, and
put in fertilizers eight inches deep.
2. Ridge with long scooter, five inches
wide. Make the 'bods with turn plow,
sub-soil the turn plow furrow; spht out
the middles with shovel. Plant with a
cotton seed sowor, and cover with a
board or harrow.
First ploughing?run twenty-two inch
sweep with right wing turned down, hoe
out to two or threo stalks to the hill
every nine inches, ton days after plough?
ing. Second ploughing?use same
sweep, the right wing turned up a littlo
more. Third ploughing?in same way,
run a third furrow in middlo to lovel.
3. Cotton standing thick in the drill
will be much more forward in maturing.
4. Cotton only requires distanco one
way.
6. Bo careful not to cut the roots of
cotton.
6. Hnvo a deep water furrow in the
spring; work flat by hot weather.
7. On level land run tho rows North
and South.
8. A cotton plant, to stand two weeks'
drought, must have four inches soil and
six inches sub-soil; three weeks, aix
inches soil and same sub-soil; four
weeks, eight inohes and the same sub
soiling.
0. If yon prcparo your land and carry
out this plan well, and manure liberally,
you may expect from 400 to 1,000 pounds
of lint cotton to tho acre.
10. Fertilizers bring a crop of bolls on
the cotton early.
11. To improve the cotton plant, select
seod every year after tho first picking,
up to the middle of October, taking the
best stalks and the best bolls on the
stalks.
12. On all farms there are some acres
that produce cotton bettor than othoM.
Seed should always be selected from
those spots.
13. Manure everywhere you plow and
plant. Your labor will be more certainly
rewarded. It pays to use manure, and
it pays best on land that pays best with?
out it
14. From tho 10th to the 20th of April
is the best time to plant cotton.
15. A]>ply one-half of nil labor atnl land
to the making of full supplies of all kin ds
that are needed on the farm, and enough
to spare for those engaged in other pur?
suits, and you will have more money
than if the whole was employed in mak?
ing cotton.
16. Leave no grass to bunch and cause
a future bud stand.
17. Plow cotton ovcry throe weeks, and
lot the hoes come ten days behind, clear?
ing it perfectly.
18. Continue plowing cotton till tho
15th or 20th of August Onco or twice
during the season shove out the middle
with a furrow, to keep tho land level.
19. The plowing of cotton requires one
and a fourth days per acre.
20. Cotton plants commence when
small to take on and mature bolls, and
continue until they exhaust the soluble
matter or exhaust the full capacity of tho
land. Two stalks will do that much
sooner than one, and will so avoid the
drought caterpillar, etc.
21. Cotton will grow after cotton a
number of years in succession, with
plenty of manure.
22. Make just tho amount of cotton
wanted, at paying prices. Keep out of
debt, bo tho creditors, make your sup?
plies at home; then and only then will
yon have power.
23. Rotation of crops, deop and deeper
ploughing every year, incorporation of
vegetable mold, returning the proceeds
of the cotton plant, except the lint, to
tho soil, making as much manure as pos?
sible, comprise my system of improving
lands.
24. One object in cultivation is, to
keep the surface broken, so as to lot in
light, heat and air. Never stop tho
plows for dry weather.
25. My policy has been to make the
most money with the least labor and
capital, even if it appeared to be waste?
ful.
26. The cotton planter should make
his whole supplies, everything necessary
to run the farm.

Nnw Book.?We have received from

authoress of upward of a score of novels

in any of those qualities which go to

Tax Fair.?Tho festival for the benefit
of the Palmetto Orphan Homo was inau?
gurated at Irwin's Hall, last evening, at
6 o'clock, under tho auspices of those de?
voted and ever-willing workers in acts of
charity and bonevolence, the ladies.
They were earnestly seconded in their
efforts by a management of gentlemen.
Wkon wo ontored the hall we found it
filled to its capacity with matrons and
misses, gray-haired sires and moustached
young gentlemen, vieing with eaoh other
to make the entertainment a pleasure
and a success. The promenaders with
their busy fans and their button-hole
bouquets found the time gliding peace?
fully away, and nevor Hcemed to know
that any one was present save them?
selves. All went as merry as a wedding
feast.
On entering the hall we discovered table
No. 1, containing fancy and plain, large
and small cakes. Here we found Misses
Coy Youmans, Bessie Kinard, Fannie
Wright, Mamie Moses, Frankie H?ge,
Nein Ria Youmans and Eleanor Barn well
making quick and profitable sales, aided
by Mrs. Youmans and Miss Susie Wyatt
Coffoo tables fronted the larger table here
as elsowhcro throughout the hall.
No. 2, the fruit table, was presided
over by Misses Ella Etter, Lula and Li 1 lie
Black, Eunice Barnes, Ida Hendrix, Mrs.
Elmorc and Mrs. Glass.
No. 3, ice cream and strawberries, was
superintended by Mrs. Wm. Peck and
Misses Fannie Livingston, Annie Peck,
Lina Peck, Lena McDonald and Clara
Franck.
No. 4 was at the head of the hall, and
was known as the flower table, where
bouquets of all sizes and shapes, of
sweetly perfumed offerings from Flora's
early growth, were to be obtained from
Misses Alice LoWe, Fannie May rant,
Lizzie Baldwin, Katie Berry and Miss
Thompson.
No. 5 was a substantial table, laden
with meats of various kinds, which were
served to the patrons of the table by Mrs.
Berry, Misses Mary McKenzie, Rosa
Clayton and Sallic Coloman.
No. C was a table of fancy articles,
presided over by Misses Julia McKenzie,
May Bailey, Sudie Gill, Maggie, Addio
and Mrs. J. A- Selby.
At, No. 7 wo found another tempting
supply of cakes, which were disposed of
by Mrs. Pope, Mrs. C. Walker, Misses
Mary Simonton, Mary and Lou Menden?
hall, Minnie and Fannie Melton.
No. 8, except No. 3, was the coolest
table in the house, for here we found ice
cold lemonade, served to thirsty mortals
by Misses Alice McKenzie, Fannie Hug
gins, Rosa Hix, Sophie Eisenmann,
Jennie Gibbes and Miss Bootwright
Over the stage, whore the string band
of the 18th Infantry was furnishing con?
cords of sweet strains, was to be seen in
largo green letters "God help the or?
phans;" and turn to view the other end
of the hall, the same inscription was to
be seen. The gas fixtures and hall sup?
ports woro beautifully festooned with
flowers and evergreens.
About the centre of the hall we ob?
served the comptroller of the currency,
where tho money changing and ticket
purchasing was Dunn, and right well,
too.
We noticed among those present artists
and artificers, belles and beaux, chemists
and compositors, doctors and divines,
editors and eaters, (the some,) factors {
and fiddlers, Grangers and grocers, I
lawyers and litigants, merchants, me?
chanics and middle men, and so on
down through the alphabetical list of
trades and professions; all seeming to
enjoy themselves to their heart's con?
tent
Tho fair was, as we predicted, a grand
success, and wo havo no doubt a hand?
some sum will be reaped for the benefit
of the orphans, as, notwithstanding ample
preparations had been made in anticipa?
tion of a largo attendance, early in the
evening, nearly all the tables were baro
of eatables.
Tho ladies and gentlemen who con?
ducted tho fair desewve great praise for
their most successful efforts, and those
who were present will receive tho hearty
thanks of the managers and tho orphans.
It was proposed to hold the fair but one
evening, but owing to the liberal patron?
age whioh tho festival received, the
managers have made arrangements to
continue it this afternoon. The fair will
be opened again to-day from 11 to 2
o'clock?just in time for the enjoyment
of a hearty dinner.
Since writing the above, we learn that
tho reooipts of the evening amounted to
$395. '_

considerable dramatic effect The por?
trait she drew of her heroine, the unfor?

Arrest op Wrioht Sullivan.?Capt
H. C. Alley, Marshal of Spartanbnrg,
came to Greenville on the 12 o'clock
train on Wednesday. He arrested Alfred
Walker, the brutal murderer of Rev. J.
Claudius Miller, in Union County, the
night before. On the arrival of Capt ^
Alley in Greenville, he kept close in hin '
room till night, when he sallied forth to
arrest another of. the gang. About 9
o'clock, assisted by Capt Greer, he pro?
ceeded to the house of Wright Sullivan,
who lives in a small house in the Eastern
part of the city, where Sullivan was
found preparing for a quiet night's rest
When- told by Capt Alley that ?1 want,
you," he trembled like an aspen, and in?
quired what Capt Alley wanted with
him. He was told of the capture of
Alfred Walker, when he remarked that
I he had often been taken for the man
"who went with. Alfred Walker.'* Ho
made, no resistance, however, and. wok
taken to the County jail. Wright Sulli?
van yesterday confessed that he was one
of the gong of murderers and thieves*
and is ready to tell everything. He' "in
said to be one of the most infernal
scoundrels in the country. Has been
convicted of murder, and sentenced to
be hung, and has been in the peniten?
tiary and pardoned out by the immacu?
late F. J.-Moses, Jr.?Greenville News.
General Hawley's last charge on tho
enemy was brave and desperate "as Ney's
dash of the Old Guard at Waterloo, and
just as effectual. Because'tho South has 1
sent sixty-eight Confederate soldiers to
the House, he insisted that one more
should be added in himself to the "piti?
ful minority" of twenty-five soldiers of
the Union already elected. Hawley, like
Ney, was too late with this assault
Demagogues have played it threadbare
before he seized upon it, and its force
was greatly abated by his failure to tell
that in .the last Congress he was in politi?
cal accord, on most questions, with a
scoro or two of Confederate soldiers who
were pardoned because they added
camp-plundering to treason. Will not
so brave and faithful a soldier as General
Hawley soon appreciate that the whole
people of this country wont peace? He
will have leisure moments now to learn
this lesson, and the 'sooner he acquires ,
it the sooner will he reach to his just
I stature as a national leader of the future.1
