TIES South Carolina delegation is divided in opinion on the Blair bill. Senator Hampton and Representatives Dibble and Smalls favor it; Senator Butler and Representatives Aiken, Dargan and Tillman oppose it. Hemp hill and Perry are doubtful. TnE Florence correspondent of the Darlington News says: A gentleman, whose opinion is worth something, said on our streets a few days ago that the next Governor of South Carolina will be either Gen. W. W. Harllee, of Ma rion, or Hon. W. C. Coker, of Darling ton. We shall see. Capt. Geo. Tupper, has written a "snorting" letter to the Columbia Re cord, advocating a "new deal" from top to bottom, denouncing the promise breaking Democracy, and abusing everything and every body in general connected with the administration of the State government since 187G, and the Georgetown Enquirer wants to know if Capt. Tupper ain't a sorehead? The outlook for free trade in the South does not look encouraging. South Carolina denounces free trade in rice; Louisiana in sugar; Kentucky in whiskey; Ohio in wool; Alabama in iron; Virginia in tobacco. And against the repeal of the tariff on raw cotton, which keeps the Indian and Egyptian producta away from the New England mills, the entire South would rise in arms to oppose and resist. Free trade is a beautiful theory on paper, but you gore a man's ox with it and see how he rushes to his protection. TnE Republicans will do their best to break up the solidity of the South next fall. Their policy will be to per suade men of good character who have not been, in affiliation with the Repul)- ' lican party to take the field in opposi- 1 tion to regular Democratic candidates 1 and to give them the Republican sup- 1 port and vote. On the tariff question ? and particularly on the question of 1 internal improvements men of good 1 standing in the South will be invited 1 to stand for Congress in opposition to ' the Democrats. 1 The question has been asked as to , who will be allowed to participate in ] the farmers' convention soon to be , held. We suppose the invitation was j extended simply to the genuine out and . out farmers, those who live on the , farm, work on the farm and depend on ; the farm for their living?a kind of meeting of the farmers by the farmers j and for the farmers. Those who follow , other pursuits for a livelihood and run , a few patches merely as a side dish would hardly be considered as entitled , to a seat in a genuine farmers' conven tion. Marshall, Texas, where the present railroad strike originated, has many titles to historic fame. Thegreatstrike of a year ago originated there also. It was the home during his lifetime of Mr. Wigfall, the great fire-eating sena tor. It was then one of the wealthiest towns of the State, but the wealth was mostly in slaves. It was in Marshall that Jim Curry killed the actor Porter seven or eight years ago. But perhaps Marshall's greatest claim to historic remembrance is as the birthplace of Col. Thomas P. Ochiltree, the biggest liar of the nineteenth century. An editor might as well make up his mind to be abused by a certain class of people. There are some persons who always abuse editors when they cannot use them; and Whenever you hear a man abusing an editor perhaps if you knew all the facts you would find that the abuser has tried to use the abused editor and failed. These things of course are unpleasant, but an editor who does his duty doesn't by any means j get to Heaven '-on flowery beds of ease." ! The only proper rule of conduct for him is to do what is right and leave the j results to be taken cure of by God. The Army Bill. The population of the United States is something- over 50.000,000 and this population, increasing yearly, is spread ing itself in every direction through the country. Particularly is this the case in the West where there are large areas of fertile lands unoccupied save by prowling beast and wandering In dians. Favorable conditions are offer ed settlers both by the government and railroad companies and hence the inarch of population Westward, during the last ten years, has been unprece dented. Indian reservations have been encroached upon until there is almost daily conflicts between the crowding settlers and the dissatisfied Indian. In these conflicts hundreds.of lives and thousands of dollars have been lost foi the want of adequate protection on the part of the government and hence the necessity of increasing the army from 25,000 to 30,000 as is proposed by the bill now before Congress. We do not venture too far in saying that there it no country on the globe with the same extent of territory and size of popula tion that affords such poor protection to the lives and property of her citizens as the United States. "What the coun try needs to-day is better protection not only along her extensive sea-coast but on the Western frontier to protect her citizens from the savage Indians and in her interior cities to protect them from mob-rule and anarchy. Our past experience in the far Northwest and our recent experience with strikers teach us that something more is need ed to protect our people from outrage than 25,000 troops and poorly executed laws. A population so mixed as ours must constantly see the gleam of the bayonet, and interest so varied must feel the firm grasp of the law in order to secure safety for the one and pro gress for the other. "We hope, therefore, that our law makers in Washington will think more of increasing the country's military force which gives protection to her citizens, and less of voting millions as pensions for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. The inter est of the country seems to demand not only the passage of this bill but also the passage of a similar one in creasing the effectiveness of the navy. A CrlHi*. The country evidently demands now the highest type of statesmanship to extricate her from her present perilous condition. That we are on the eve of a great political revolution can scarcely be doubted, and it is putting it mildly to say that our leaders are astounded at the vast proportions the great labor problem has assumed. Indeed, from appearances, it is scarcely more than in its formative stage and it is difficult to say what will be the final outcome. Merchants, manufacturer!, fanners, mechanics and laborers have appeared to bind themselves together in a secret organization to battle with a common foe?capital as it is seen in powerful railroad systems, organized syndicates, land companies, &c. Heretofore labor troubles scarcely occasioned more than a ripple upon the surface of our hetero geneous population, but, now, within ?he period of a few weeks, the entire mass has been shocked from centre to jircuinference by a secret force eminat ng from more than 2,000,000 well or ganized men. Not only the immediate scene of the trouble is affected by it but \ orth, East and South of that point look >n in amazement at the almost magical ?esults of a force heretofore deemed' nsignificant. It is in the mouth of >very body and our people are anxious y looking to see what will be the re mit, how it will offset Congress and vhen that unjust body will act. If it je like the knownothing party some ?ears ago excite the whole country and hen suddenly collapse, we shall be rlad; but if it developes into a perma lent and controlling force, embracing t or 4,000,000 voters out of our national .0,000,000 then the best talenfin the and must be engaged in the solution )f the problem and the best statesman ship must be exhibited in dealing with 'he situation. If a political revolution jnly results in the midst of our pres ent corrupt surroundings, the country will likely suffer no material harm, but if we be called upon to enter another period of civil strife, so soon after the last, it will not need the eye of pro phecy to see broken ties, ruined inter ests and a dismembered country. A Heinous Assault. Nashville, Tenn., Aprfi 5.?A das tardly attempt at outrage was perpe trated about 10 o'clock last night in the very heart of the city. Cries were heard proceeding from a negro tene ment house on Cherry street, and when the door was broken in by the police a burly negro hack driver named James Caleb was caught in the act of outraging a twelve year-old white girl, Bertha Franklin. The child had been inveigled into the room by a old ne gress, whom she asked for a drink of water, and was afterward induced to stav all night as it was then dark. After the child had fallen asleep the negro fiend crept into the bed, and the girl's cries brought assistance before he had acomplished his purpose. Caleb and the old negress were hurried off to jail before the fact became public or they would have been hanged. Excite ment runs high and lynching will probably result._' Thk heavv rains have caused a big freshet in the Watcree. All the low lands along the river are under water, and it is feared that much damage will result to the small grain planted along the river. General Newa.

Ox March 22 Kock Hill decided to subscribe $75,000 to the Cincinnati, Charleston and Chicago Railroad. The vote stood, subscription 036; opposed 124. Alderman Henry Douglass, Laredo, Texas, was killed in a saloon by a man named Menly. There is much excite ment and threats of lynching are freely made. A cyclone in Bullock County Alaba ma, struck a negro church in which a funeral was going on; the building was blown down, four persons killed and ten badly injured. Four or live thousand persons are thrown out of employment by the Key West lire. Provisions are scarce and much suffering is feared. Insuran?e was less than $75,000. A young man named Madison, from Alabama, either attempted suicide or was mortally wounded near Asheville, X. C a few days ago. There is consid erable mystery'over the affair. A number of railroad strikers have been arrested throughout the "West and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for felony, conspiracy and interfering with the running of trains. A sheet-iron "bagging" for covering cotton bales has been patented and as it will be as cheap as common bagging and protects the bales much better, it is claimed that it will soon be in general use. A lire at Bronson, Michigan, destroy ed a new block of brick stores. Mrs. Timothy Hurley, wife of a baker, with her 15 year old daughter, were burnt to death, iind the father and three children badly burnt. TnEREare probably more convicts in the Penitentiary now than at any previous time, 1,015 being controlled by the Penetentiary authorities. Between 900 and-1,000 of these are either leased or employed. TiiE*Kingstree County Record says: "Mr.J. G.

Mrs. Paul True, aged ninety-five, of Pittsfield, N. H., very foolishly omit ed the whooping cough from herlist of infantile ailments, and is now down with that disease, but expects soon to be about her work again. This is a pretty tough story, but it's true. Richard Singleton, a colored ex-con vict, who had been arrested on a charge of burglary and grand larceny in Col leton, made his escape and upbr. resist-; ing arrest was shot and killed by a colored constable. A mixed jury re turned a verdict of justiliablehoinicide. Nearly 81,000 has been raised for rebuilding the Baptist church fit (iran itville recently destroyed by fire. The new church will be erected on Mont gomery street, a most desirable lot having been presented for that purpose by the Graniteville cotton mill compa ny. A dinner pot containing 38,000 in gold and silver was ploughed up a few days ago by Mr. Joe Caughnian, while working in a field on Mr. Godfrey Har mon's place on the Saluda river in New berry county. A tradition has long existed of buried treasure in that sec tion. Butler Mahone.sonof the renegade Virginia senator, has been convicted at Washington of an assault against a colored man at whom he fired a pistol, and fined 9100. He was acquitted of assault with intent to kill on the ground that he was too drunk to form an intent. The acreage in melons along the South Carolina Railway, Augusta Di vision, will be largely increased this season. The returns, so far received, show that four thousand acres will be planted between Aiken and Midway. No fear is entertained that the North ern and Western markets will be glut ted. Destructive fioods occurred last week in Tennessee, Alabama and North Georgia. A number of railroad and other bridge? were swept away and much loss of life is feared. A* con struction train with an engineer and fifteen laborers, went down in the Tal lapoosa River, near Opelika, and it is feared that they are lost.

TiiEcensusof 1880 reveals a fact that men of science might ponder. Whilst among natives there is one insane per son to every 002, among the foreign born there is one in every 254. Why this vast difference? But it is alarm ing to know that of every (5G2 Ameri cans one is doomed to insanity. The total number of insane in 1880 "was 05 654. An andacious young man put his I arm around a young woman who sat in the same pew with him during service in the United Urethren Church at Fort Wayne on Sunday night, and kissed her."

Pleasant Reunion of the Old Heroes of the Second Regiment, S. C. V. A. Blackvtlle, April 2.?In answer to the call published in the county papers, the survivors of the 2d regiment of S. C. V. Artillery met at this place to-day. There were about seventy-live men present, representing all of the com panies of the regiment except the com pany from Darlington and the one from Edgelield. The association was organ ized by electing E. J. Felder president and W. T. Ray secretary. Capt. Felder was the adjutant of the old 2d in the days "before the Union came in." After the organization was com pleted an address was delivered by Dr. J. F. Baggot, who was the regular orator of the day, his subject being "Life's Parade." The address was inter esting and delivered in a peculiarly forcible and attractive style. At tho close of Dr. Baggot's address, Major G. B. Lartigue was called upon and he delivered quite an earnest and entertaining speech, in which hestrong ly urged the erection of monuments to perpetuate the memory of our fallen comrades. This appeal touched tender chord? in. the hearts of all survivors and I feel sure that the subject will be taken hold of and pushed to success. At the close of Major Lartigue's ad dress the association adopted the fol lowing resolution: Resolved, That the next meeting of the Survivors Association of 2d regi ment S. C. V. Artillery be held at Brauchville, S. C, on Thursday, the first day of July next. 2. That all survivors of the 2d regi ment S. C. V. Artillery, as well as the public generally, are cordially invited to meet the survivors at the Brauoh ville reunion; and that Major Lartigue and Mr. C. G. Dantzler be selected to address the meeting on that occasion. A resolution was passed thanking Drs. Baggot and Lartigue for their ad dresses, and to Capt. Lancaster for starting the organization. A com mittee of sixteen was appointed to ar range for the meeting at Branchville. The meeting then adjourned, and the survivors dispersed and spent the re mainder of the day in strolling around town and discussing incidents of more than twenty years ago.?News and Courier. On the Situation. Editor Times and Democrat : In my previous article I contended that the farmer, under the present sys tem of farming, saved no money, and tried to show who got the benefits of his labor. On every side we hear com plaints of times being harder now than ever before and that money is scarce and supplies scant. The question, what can be done to restore the good condition of the country? is often ask ed by members of every profession. To remedy an evil, you must first destroy the cause of the evil seems tobe the wiser course just now. The lien law was evidently intended by its originators to be a great relief to our people in their great poverty dur ing the decade immediately succeeding the war, but its abuse has certainly been the root, or foundation, of all our financial troubles. From the time it was first enacted until now, it has been abused by speculating parties?the *laudholder, the-merchant rtnd the liener "or laborer himself?until it has become alarming to interested property holders, and, if not stopped or modified in some way speedily, will ultimately affect seriously all parties. The country is now packed full of horses, mules buggies and wagons belonging to irresponsible parties who have no money or supplies on which to live, and nine out of every ten never experience the pleasure of paying cash the year round for their supplies. Mr. Tillman, backed by a few follow ers, have stirred up the country to such a degree that a convention, to be com posed of farmers only, has been called to meet in Columbia for the purpose of deliberating upon matters pertaining to their interest. In this call practiciU professional men are excluded because in such a body they would have two strings to their bows?one .as a farmer, the other as a professional man, which might complicate matters more than would be desirable. I blame our leading men, from the lowest to the highest, to whom we looked as the guardians and defenders of the peeple's interests.and especially so of the agricultural department be cause this is the foundation of all pro gress. From their daily experience they should have seen the evil effects of the lien law upon both the landhol der and 1 he laborer and should have repealed it long ago. It is stated that the farmers are in the majority in the Legislature; if this is so, these, as prac tical men, should have known that the ruin of the whole state was only a question of time. Considering the hard times and, particularly, the'finan cial condition of the farmers or tax payers, very nearly all our officials are paid too high. Our trial justice sys tem is partly a swindle upon the peo ple; our free schoal system is money thrown away; and our road law is worse than all, giving us good roads only in tho summer season when there is little or no hauling to do. The small night-shops, which spring up all over the country in the fall or harvest season, demoralize the labor and harrass the producing farmer; and our taxes are one-third or one-fourth too high. The Board of Equalization, another nuisance made by the Legislature and paid by the people, conies behind the tax-payer to say whether or not he swears falsely "on his return (a recrular slur upon any tax-paying community.) Upon all these points our people have complained and claimed redress at the hands of those who were in positions to give it. After all these, wrongs heaped upon us year by year, can you blame the people lor seeking redress by whatever means in their power. Fakmeu. Keverttlng the Rule. Granting that the brutal massacre of negroes at Carrollton, Miss., had no political significance, the Philadelphia Press asks that it "be not forgotten that it occurred in a Democratic com munity? in a Democratic State, against an iin-Democratic race." Suppose the ride be made to work the other way. as it will it it be a good one. Let it not be forgotten that the recent brutal massacre of the Chinese in Wyoming occurred in a Republican community, in a Republican Territory, and against an un-Republican race.
