A Convention of Famerx'Ottned. In our last issue we published a pa per signed by ninety-two rgentlemen from different sections df ^he State caUing a convention of farmers to be held in Columbia on Thtrredaytthe 29th of next April. This call ?ete?orth the following grievances: 1st, The farmers being -seventy-six per cent of the populaticm-dPfhe State, justly claim that they constitute the State, and yet they do n<rt -.govern it. nor are the laws administered ?n their interest. 2d, While their ability torpay. taxes grows smaller year by yeaT.'these' taxes do not grow less; nor has any thing been done to foster and encourage their interest. 3d, While the negroes used'to'be the mudsills of our economic fabric, :now thousands of white landowning farm ers are slowly sinking to be 'added i to the foundation upon which ??'ow.men and corporations are erecting fortunes. 4th, Lands are growing poorer year by year because an insane t-ystem.of farming prevails which skims (KherStote by impoverishing the soil, and inrtbing is done by our Legislature to stop ?t, or to try to teach a better and wiser system, ; 5th, Forty thousand dollars, ttihree-<; fourths of which is paid by farmers, are spent annually to educate ui?a tfor other professions and pursuits, wbile the farmers get nothing. Even the small amount given by the national government to educate farmers is ap propriate to sustain an educational in stitution for our future masters. 6th, Twenty-five thousand dollars are annually paid by farmers alone, to; sustain an Agricultural Department; and to coBect phosphate royalty from which farmers receive no benefit ex cept a partial protection against fraud ulent fertilizers. 7th, A succession of bad crops and the consequent poverty of farmers ne cessitated economy and a reduction of taxes, yet the last Legislature ignored this necessity and in addition refused to provide for a reapportionment of representatives according to the consti tution by not holding a census. 8th, The last Legislature, though not corrupt, has been very neglectful of the public interest, an? the farmers of the State cannot 'afford so elect such another, nor can they allow the Agri cultural interest to be subordinated to every thing else. 9th, Other States with less expendi ture than we are making, are doing ten times as much to encourage and assist those engaged in farming. These are serious grievances, affect ing the very best interest of our'people and call for a close and searching in vestigation at the hands of the conven tion to be assembled under this call. This cannot be had unless every coun ty in the State be represented by its best men?most progressive and intel ligent farmers, who will go to Colum bia thoroughly appreciating the import ance of the duties to be performed and the effect which that convention will have upon the citizens of our State. Every class of our people feels the em barrassing circumstances by which we are surrounded and most earnestly de sire to see them so adjusted as to re dound to the benefit of every citizen. If there be a remedy, let us have it; but vituperation and recrimination, strife and division among our people will be mourned with as much sadness as re lief will be hailed with gladness. We trust Orangeburg county will be repre sented by her best farmers who will understand that the proper result of the appointed convention will be relief from our present ills, but not at the ex pense of the Democratic party. Sophist t-y and Bo?h. We have seldom seen good logic pros tituted to a more infamous purpose than in the recent speech of Senator Edmunds where he labors earnestly to obscure the true issue between the Sen ate and President by arguing from false premises and the use of a most wretched sophistry. The Vermont Senator, in his anxiety to teach his Re publican friends, evidently forgot at the time that the people understood already that private letters, whether on file or next, were not public letters, and that letters officially address were not necessarily official letters. Mr. I'ugh, of Alabama, however in a very emphatic speech reminded the Senator that such was the fact and, at the same time, restated the issue as it was first made by the llepubbdns themselves. The verdict of critics is. that the speech of Senator Edmunds was a most egre gious failure. Nor have we ever read, in so .small a space, so much nonsensical bosh as }< contained in the speech of Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, in which he gives a rehash of the Vermont ideas and, in addition, presents the original idea that no such "outrage has been indicted on our citi zens" as that perpetrated by President Cleveland in suspending Republican officials who have been preying upca the national treasury for more than twenty years. This remarkable ipi\> duction is perhaps a high bid for tt3ie popular ear of Iowa and may succeed, but will fail to impress even the Ele publican party as being either manly in its statement or honest in its mo tives. If these officials, who are evi dently removed for misconduct in<oflice or unfitness to discharge their ftaties, are to be defended, it ?s well for them to find a champion who can 'undertake the business so unblushingly as Sena tor Wilson. He is a base criminal indeed who can find no one wiffing to defend him. In the mean time, the position of President Cleveland remains impreg nable and is being strengthened daily by such men as Senators Pugh and Kenna who will hold the Republicans to a fair fight or force tihem to;abandon the contests_ DlHUiipolnted Hupex. It will be remembered that v.ihen the Maine and Logan ticket was nominated for the Presidency, it created quite a stench in the nostrils of many leading Republicans at the North ;and, on ac count of the silent opposition the tick et received at the hands of these gen tlemen, they were designated by the not very euphonious appellation of Mugwumps by the faithful. Among these no one was more sfcabbomly si lent than Senator Edmunds of Ver mont who uttered no. word of ?encour agement and performed .no net-to help the ticket through the campaige. Such a want of fidelity to the party has not been forgotten by the Stalwart Repub licans, and so plain have been the indi i cations at home that Mr. Edmunds con cluded that something must be done on a grand scale to restore him to fa vor and to his former position in the party in order that he might be his own ?successor when his term expires. The :broadcast removal of officials by Presi dent Cleveland presented the opportu nity and the clamor of Republicans for :an -earnest opposition to so ruinous a policy called Senator Edmunds to the foont as the leader of a movement that j '.v.its (intended to annihilate the Demo cratic President. The attack was niade, Mr. Cleveland was berated and Ms position assaHed ou every side so satisfactorily until the Vermont Sena tor (concluded that he had done the neocLCul thing completely, and there was no further need of apprehension on the ^score of his successor. That evening after enjoying the hospitalities of the President, joking complacently and being hail-fellow-well-met with everybody, retires to bed but only to rise in the morning to witness the com plete overthrow of his aerial castle by the sledge-hammer blows of Senator Pugh. .Surely man's brightest hopes are doomed to disappointment and his best laid plans often go astray. The PreKM ?ml Public CenKorxhlp. There was a meeting of Methodist ministers held in Chicago not long since to discuss the "Moral influence of secular journalism." One of the ministers, Dr. Bushingham, made a just criticism as to two points. He said: "Let one clergyman in a thousand become a Judas, and a hundred times more space would be devoted to his misdeeds than to the good deeds of the other nine hundred and ninety-nine. The storekeepers might as well display, beside his stock of groceries, all the vile and filthy objects known to the contraband drug trade. The sickening developments of a breach of promise case are given "three-line heads,' and embellished with wood cuts, accompa nied by two or three columns of read ing matter, while the report of some great moral movement is 'cut down' to a 'stick' to make room for the more sensational case." This is doubtless true as to the large and influential papers in the Xorth. We have long doubted if any daily pa per is fit to be read that dishes up all of the putrescence and moral filth in the slums, or even in "our best society." A brief paragraph is all that pestifer ous occurrences are entitled to. One of the Northern religious papers insists that the "time has come to place legal restrictions upon newspaper reportorial work. So monstrously are the daily newspapers abusing their privileges that the present interests of society and the welfare of coining generations demand a change." Mr. Dibble and the Turin". On the first page of this week's paper we print a letter from the Hon. Samuel Dibble to the Free Trade Club of South Carolina on the tariff question. In this letter Mr. Dibble states his views [ in a true, unequivocal way, which is eminently characteristic of the man. There is no dodging about him, but at all times and under all circumstances he is ready to give the reason for the faith that is in hint. We endorse fully Mr. Dibble's views on this important subject, and congratulate our esteemed Charleston eotemporary,the News and Courier, un the abandonment of its ul tra free trade position, assumed two years ago, as evidenced by its editorial of last Momhiy. Now that we are all agreed on the subject let us go to work | to bring about a sensible ami just re-j vision of the tunII as soon i\s possible. ! A Strange Verdict. An interesting case was tried in Hampton this week. Several years a the safe of the-county treasurer, M. Lawton, at the court house was enter i ed by the use of the combination and 55,000 of the county money was stolen. J Suit was entered for the amount against the treasurer and his bondsmen. The treasurer proved that he was absent in the county collecting taxes with the key of the safe in his pocket. It was on a bunch with the office key, and he turned over the bunch to a responsible man who did not know the combina tion to get some tax receipts blanks. The keys were left with another citizen and by him returned to the treasurer, who, on returning to his office found the safe open and empty. Only the treasurer and his assistant, who was with him in the country, knew the combination and the key had been only in responsible hands, but the safe had been unlocked on the combination and with a key which fitted. The Hamp ton court house is an isolated building fmd nobody is in or near it at night. The jury found for the treasurer and his bondsmen, thereby relieving them of responsibility. There seems to be no ffround for suspecting anybody of the theft, but in the face of this verdict we can't see much use for bondsmen. Republican newspapers are parad ing with flaming headlines an array of Congressional election figures in Southern districts that have been taken from the speech of Congressman Golf, of West Viginia. Mr. Goff spoke on the pension bill last week, and though he had only seven minutes in which to address the house, he obtained permis sion to print in the Record a long speech in which he deals in the usual scalawag argument and endeavors to make the people of the North believe that the white Democrats in the South bulldoze the negroes to such an extent that the latter can not cast their ballots. Dr. Henson, of Chicago, said that there was much fault found with the good brothers, Jones and Small, and much carping criticism was indulged in. Ladies who wore their dresses at the lower verge of decency announced themselves positively shocked by the language indulged in at these meet ings. The Doctor said that Jones and Small had! succeeded in waking up Chicago. They hit the devil straight out from the shoulder.

Itoad Duty. The following is the f uU text of the act passed at the late session of the Legislature to permit persons in the State liable to road duty to pay a com mutation in lieu of working Ihe road: Section 1. lie it enacted by the Sen ate and House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, now met and sitting in General Assembly, and by the authority of the same, That all persons liable to perform road doty in tnis State and residing outside of incorporated towns and cities be, and they are hereby authorized to pay to the County Treasurer of the County in which they reside a commutation of two dollars in lieu of the time which said-persons might annually be requir ed to labor upon the public roads, which in no case shall be less than six nor more than twelve-days in any ono year as the County Commissioner of'the several Counties may direct. And whenever any of such persons liable to road duty shall pay the commutation tax herein provided lor, it shall be the .duty of the County .Treasurer to furnish such person'with a certificate showing that the commutation tax has been paid, which shall relieve the per son so paying from road duty for the year in which said commutation tax is paid. Sec. 2. That immediately after the payment of the said commutation tax it shall be the duty of the County Treasurers of this State to furnish the County Commissioners of their respec tive Counties with the names of all persons who have paid said commuta tion tax; and the said County Commis sioners shall furnish all overseers or contractors with the names of all such persons, who shall not be liable to road duty for the year in which said pay ment may be made. Sec. 3. That all money so paid in commutation ot work on the public roads shall be kept separate from the general Countv fund, and shall be ex clusively applied by the said County Commissioners to repairing the high ways and bridges of the County, by contract or other wise, as may be deemed most expedient: Provided? That said County Commissioners be required to expend said money upon those sections of the public roads whereon the person paying such commutation tax may be liable for road duty: Provided, Nothing herein contained shall apply to Gregg Township, Aiken County. Sec. 4. That all Acts * and parts of Acts inconsistent with this Act be, and the same are hereby, repealed. Righteously Whipped.
