A LETTER FROM CAW. TILLMAN. /* Give* HI* YUw* on Ortnln Thing* Don* by the LegleUture at the Kecent Weaeion. To tho Editor of the News and Cottri- er: Your editorial in the The News aud Courier of December 24, beaded 4 *1110 same Old Trouble, ” is in the main just and appropriate, but at the same time it is misleading. For distance, of tiie bills emanating from the Convention, and which have been either ]H>stpoued, amended out of all shape or slaughtered Outright in the Senate, you say: “Who is responsible we need not say. The Senators will be prepared, of course, to explain their action to tlieir con stituents when the projwr time comes, and they will doubtless be given the op- I ortunitv. But whatever their reason, good or bad, the fact remains that the quarrel of the farmers, if the> have any, is with their own representatives. .The non-agncultjral members of the General Assembly have boon willing and ready, as they nave abundantly shown, to grant every request aud adopt eiory plan which the farmers should agree uikmi for the advancement of tlieir peculiar inter oat, and tb give to them the control of their |>eculiar affairs. The failure is ‘‘SC they have any manhood and sense of resentment; if they are not dogs they are taken for, they will, when the time domes, see to it that the men vho thus contemptuously put thi* in dignity upon them are properly reward ed. If we cannot reorganize the ami- cultural department, we can roorpinizr the Senate. The fata^r* of 4h* are fast sinking to the level of serfs— hewers of wood and drawers of water for others.

But these six agricultural Bolons and their tilteeu professional associates say to them in (ffeet: “Yon don’t know what you want.

The ehetflv w»s not slow in coming back at us, and the grand roar of nearly the whole artillery of both armies burst in on the silence almost as suddenly as thu fall notes of an organ could fill a church.

It wan no common right to see (daggering men and crowds going and coming from thuse shops. On court days, for tho county court house was there, many men instead of eating good wholesome food for din ner, would go to the bar and drink their dinner. Ju->t think, a dinner of this vile burning poison; were they fit men to judge their fellow men? a thousands times no. But while I sojourned at this place, I knew three bright promising lit tle boys, aged four, five and rix. Then there ware two othere, little ones, seven months and two years, each having a nurse, young colored girls. One day at dinner we were ut the hotel, the oldest boy said Mama, Mr. Bartrer-sbop man, (the proprietor of the leuroom aho cut hair) called us and wave us all some cider.

Turn to the pages of that book aud yon will see decision after decision on the eligibility of those connected with the saloon burins— One of my correspondents asks why I reversed the decision of my predeoeaor; the decision reads M follows: “22.

My old friends, the lawyers, took advantage of the fuse kicked up by Messrs. Youmans and Wofford to plant i wly dagger in Till- man’s aide and slap tlieir agricultural constituents who have joiued the farm ers’ movement in the faeo. This is shown by the vote, as follows: Tho A ( uiiuvrtlcut (ua.hinan Klopv* With HD Kni|ilo>vr'« Daughter. of Redding, Conn., is over the elopement of the most prominent and wdalthy citizen of the Fi/r Jbttponement.

Hioks is twenty-seven years old and is said to be a very dis agreeable looking young fellow. It appears that Hicks had been in the eui- S loy of Mr. Hill for about ten months uring which time Miss Hill fell desper ately m love with him. .The young lady, who is accomplished in every way, of fimltless form and very beautiful, was not only the belle of the village, but of all the neighlxiring towns. Bhc taught a class in Sunday school in her father’s church and had many admirers. Borne months ago the conduct of Miss Hill and the coachman caused much village hotel- gossip and it finally readied the father’a ears. He was highly indignant and threatened to kick nig coachman from his premises. But Miss Eunice begged him not to, as it would create a sensa tion, and die finally succeeded in having the servant retained. Recently Hicks’s conduct toward Miss Hill was so objec- tionable that-the girl’s father said must go. The coachman secured a situation in a livery stable, but kept up a communica tion with Miss Hill. Last week he came to Mr. ffill’s residence and begged that gentleman to take him back into his ser vice. This Mr. Hill refused to do. While the two men were in conversation Mias Eunice quietly stole out of the house and got into her lover’s carriage, aa par arrangement. Tne- couple drove at onee to Brewster'S, a neighboring vil- i, lane, where-they were married without a I delay.

There ia much ground for gratification in view of the development of tho iron industry in the States where it has taken sack a hold, but it would be far, far better for the South if the devel opment were more general and more equally distributed. The impetus given- to the iron burinees, it is conceded, comes from without, and the profits from that business will largely go out of the South. While a good deal of money has doubtless been made by Alabamians and Tennesseeans, for instance, in dis posing of their lands, the bulk of the profits has gone to speculators who bought up the lands in largo blocks and at nominal prices. The control of the lands, moreover, has passed forever out of the hands of the people who live on them, and the enterprises which have been founded by small home capitalists in the mineral districts are rapidly pass ing into the possession of outsiders, as has been reported in several conspicuous instances. Another and certain result of the great rapidity with which the production of iron in the Booth is increasing is that the production of the same metal in the North must be cheapened enormously, or else the South will eventually monop olize the iron industry. It is too much to expect that the iron manufacturers of Pennsylvania, for instance, will consent to have their buidness crippled in either h e 4way. It is probable, therefore, that these will soon come forward and ask for lower duties on ooal to enable them to compete successfully with the South- in the oraxstoiy limbered up and the petition. “Wc' Confederates often did thing* re that to "are our for use infantry, but I bad before seen tire Federal* withdrew gun* "imply to revs tireui up fur infantry fight.

While Longstreet was still speaking, Pickett’s divison swept out of the wood andj showed the full length of its gray ranks and shining bayonets, as grand a right as ever a man looked on. Joining it on the left, Pettigrew stretched farther than I could see. General Dick Garnett, just out of the sick ambulance, and buttoned up in an old blue overcoat, riding at the head of his brigade, passed us and sa luted Longstreet. Garnett was a warm lersonal friend, and we had not met be- ore for months. We had served on the plains together before the war.
