Tile First Convict ton* * The first of the ring trials began in Columbia last Thursday, when Mr. Car dozo was called on to defend himself against the charges brought bv the Investigating Committee. The first witness was Sam Lee, cur late solicitor, who testified that there was a surplus of four thousand dollars of the appropriation for the extra legislative Jsessions of 1873. Cardozo proposed that Lee and G leaves, with the clerks of the two houses, should issue a legislative certificate for that amount and Treasurer Cardozo to pay it, and the parties to divide, which agreement was carried out and the money obobtained. Woodruff testified to almost the same foots. The certificates were prepared by Woodruff in the name of C. L. Frankfort, a fictitious person intended to represent F. L. Cardolo. Woodruff finished his testimony on Friday showing conclusively a conspiracy to defraud the State, which was entered into by Cardozo and officers of the General Assembly. When the prosecution closed ifs evidence direct, Cardozo Was sworn and denied every charge against him. Hardy Solomon was called on Saturday and told how he was compelled to divide with the ring on every claim paid him, a large portion going to Lee and G leaves. The jury retired on Tuesday at 10 a. m., and after remaining out until next morning returned a verdict of guilty. The case is to bo appealed to the Su preme Court. Our Pasture Lands. A former resident of Beaufort, who is at present a prominent agriculturist in a Northern State, and a constant reader of The Tribune, encloses us an article on the subject of grasses. Our correspondent gays the author of the articles is much iu ? 1 1 terestcd in agricultural atiairs una navir.g a few years ago visited South Carolina and Georgia is somewhat familiar with the condition of affairs here. He read the report iu The Tribune of the meeting of the South Carolina Agricultual Society and his attention was attracted to that part of it which calls the notice of the "coast" planters to the cultivation of small grains and grasses, and as he has experimented in that directron largely, he is excellent authority, and is much interested in the report and believes this matter of the highest importance to this section. The communication referred to is as follows: " I am asked "How it would do to plough and sow w ith rye and grass seed a piece of pasture land which is to be fed eoostintly next Summer." I answer, "jost right" 1 have tried it and am satisfied with the result If possible, I would plough the last of September and turn the sod over fiat and then harrow leagthways of the furrow. Sow one and one half bushels of rye to the acre aad harrow again the same way as before; then sow on grass seed, say four quarts o* herdsgrass, eight quarts of red top and eight quarts of June grass, aud roll it in. If sown as early as I have indicated, the rye affords good feed in November. The cattle at that season prefer it to anything else. And then, in the coming spring, J doubt whether the cattle or their owner can look'upon aiiy field with more pleasure than on that part which is covered with a green and luxuriant growth of rye affording, as it will, a great amount of nutritious feed at a season of the year when it is so much needed. I should sow at any time before the first of December rather than not sow at all, or if your 9 readers want to change the condition of their lands let them go through the same operation as with the pasture, only sow more grass seed; say eight quarts herds grass, sixteen quarts red top and six pounds red elover. By the tenth day o f the following May he can cut a fair crop of rye straw which will make excellent fodder; and if the season be favorable he ean by the 15th July cut on the same piece more than on average crop of hay, and leave a good promising bottom for next year." Twenty-five members of the Assembly that eleeted Honest John are ready to testify that they wore bribed. Twenty five is but a small proportion of the honest a?en that took the money to elevate the Pennsylvania rogue to the Senate, nod tho whole list would be very interest, ing to many, and some proud heads would hang that now feel secure from exposure.

Previous to the death of Senator Morton the Senate stood 30 to 34, counting Davis with the Republicans. It is reasonably certain that Davis will vote to scat the three Democratic claimants froiu Louisiana and South Carolina. The ap* yeintment of Mr. Voorhees by Governor Williams, which is regarded as next to certain, will make the present complexion of the Senate be 37 Republicans to 36 Democrats. . 1 s i Our correspondent t:TaX Payer' calls , loudly for ? commission to investigate che county debt.. We find that many of the , people are anxious lor Dm appointment , tf this committee but like 'Tax Payer' tfiey arc a^l waiting for some one else to fake the lead. There are a great many 1 'hat on~ht *->be | and some stealing could be discovered I 1 without any difficulty, and of ?110 trivial ] amounts either. j I The failure of the Sitting Bull Oonnnis- j sion, presents this now distinguished In- ; dian in a now light. By the miscarriage j i t... i.:? i oi ihc negotiations wuu nun, m? muu .o . left in the attitude of a foreign power, | and he himself as a diplomat of high j rank. This for us, is a novel and inter-; esting situation. The affair opens up j new internal relations. Heretofore, upon this continent, our field for the display of diplomatic skill aud shrewdness has been j confined to our Canadian and Mexican ; neighbors. The field now widens. We ' have a Sitting Bull nationality as a third ! power t? deal with. I At present the fever in Fernandina is j about over, the material being exhausted, j Only tv cnty whites who remained in town escaped the sickness. The fatality has been heavy. There arc a number of cases of sickuess among the negroes yet, but no serious results are apprehended, as the cases are of a light type and the medical attcntiou is sufficient for all emergencies. According to the census taken September 28, 1877, there was a population of: Whites, 518; colored 1,114; total white and colored, 1,G32. From August 21 to October 31 there were, ninety-four dcathj, making a fatality of five and a half percent, of the total population. The death rate among the whites was about nnni thpvfi heincr onlv about dlAlVCU |'V? Wuv., 0 ? tcu deaths among the colored. The villainies of the late rulers of this State, ??ays the Abbeville Medium, are truly astonishing and no imagination can conceive of their extent. What prying newspaper correspondents have given to the press in the past does not give you an inkling of the enormities of Radical misrule. I may safely say there was not an honest man in the whole lot. Stealing, briber}*, and speculation was the order of the day. Every one had a hand in it. Individuals received payment for services they never rendered and whole committees joined together and made up fictitious claims against the State and drew money on these claims. Figures were added to the claims and what went from the hand of an honest man as Si00 would come out of the committee as $1,000 and the committee would divide the difference. Some of the newspaper men, who are making such an ado about "repudiation,'* and were so indiguant about the "salary"' grab, were hand in hand with the Radical robbers in the "Printing Ring Swindles," and will not hold so high a head when everything is made plain. The Legislature has already granted a I charter for a Railroad from ^Spartanburg to Augusta; and ever since tjhe inception of the Spartanburg and Ashvillc Railroad which is now progressing as rapidly as its west sanguine friends could wish, this proposed route from Spartanburg to Augusta, with outlets theuce to Charleston, Port Royal and Savannah, has been looming up as a Road of great importance, indeed of vital necessity. Now is the time for our citiiens to be on the qui vice, so as not to lose a golden opportunity. The Road from Spartanburg to Augusta will be literally an Air Line. It will run due ^orth; and when it taps the great Spartanburg Asheville and Chicago route, will open a floodgate of riches and prosperity which will permeate through the very heart of Edgefield. Confident in the untold benefit to accrue from this great enterprise; let us all enter the work tho roughly, earnestly and unselfishly. Let us all throw aside that passive submission to things that be, which has so long kept us at a stand still, and push forward with a spirit that will overcome every obstacle.? Edgefield Advertizer. INVESTIGATE THE DEBT! Hoover's, S. C., Nov. 5,1877. " - ?Wo Vintr flio rmf??rinn lur. irtlll\Jt. ?? v iivut tuv asked almost every day, why is it. that we do not have a committee appointed to investigate the County indebtedness of our County? as many other counties have done. All will readily join in saving why not. Rumors have given credcuec, that our "County Funds" h avebeeu misap propriated. I have heard responsible men assert, that they would testify that irregularities had occurred in the admin istratiou of our county affairs. When it is keowu that the "Pilot of the Radical Party" of Beaufort County, "piloted the Planter," into the hands of the enemy is it not to be supposed, that he "piloted" a portion at least of the hard earnings of the taxpayers into the pockets of th<f present enemy! It would be doubly hard if the poor tax ridden people of this county had to furnish "the spoons" to defend the pilot, in the present contest. We have a great many honest hard working taxpayers in* this county, who are not aware that we have the right to demand of his Kxcellen cy, the Governor, the appointment of the committee above mentioned. We do not want any "white washing committee," either. It is true we all < have our weaknesses. We have gocd houest men among us, who are easily in < timidated. We have others equally hon i est, who look more often to their own interests than they do to tbe interest of the taxpayer. The m.n who are entitled , to that appointment, should be men who ' wii! "lay hold" of the work with the in tcrest of the taxpayer at heart, striking * - - " .? . r- r ( "right and lett, Wltnouc rear or iuvu?> Then in my opinion, a great deal of good ' will be accomplished.

' ? j The Trial Justice System. ] Brunson, S. C., Nov. 7, 1877.. ' Editor 1 ribune: I, The whole people ought to and I be j j licvc do look wi'h pleasure to the early j assembly of the Legislature. A correc tion of many of the errors of the Radical , Government which have for so long op ! pressed the good people of our county and State are absolutely essential, and we call upon our Representatives to use all their energies and spare no pains in the endeavor to consumate this laudable aimOne of the very first duties of the gentle men who constitute that august assem blage, is to erase from our statute ibooks the office of Trial Justice. If there is anything which has proven a greater evil than any other in South Carolina since the inauguration oi the radical regime it is that vehicle of oppression, persecution and injustice called the Trial Justice of fice. It is the bastard offspring of des potic and venal government. Any code of law which places the liberties of the people in the hands of an ignorant Judi ciary how limited soever their jurisdiction is imperfect and ought to remedied. Our Trial Justices are generally men whose erudition is limited and whose legal at tainments can never be very profound. Besides we at times meet with instances, and not very unfrequently, where preju dice, passion and partiality is the predom inating characteristic of one who is eleva ted to this lofty judicial position. Much mischief can be and is done by some who are clothed with the powers of a Trial Jus tice. Men who are not only ignorant but also ignorant of the law should by no means have jurisdiction over the liberties of the people. The criminal juristiction of the Trial Justice is frequently used to force parties to settle debts?men are dragged from their homes upon imaginary transgression of the criminal law and are threatened with jail unless speedy arrangements are made for a settlement. The good people have groaned under these usurpatiuns and abuses for ten long years and now they call loudly upon the representatives to abolish the office. If there is anything upon which the people of South Carolina are a unit it is to have this office abolished. We con stantly hear echoes from all parts of the State to the same effect. Let us have a County Court and let us have a County Judge, not on the Trial Justice, but on the Areopagian order? let him be pure and spotless, and a man of culture and integrity, one who is versed in the law and will guard sacredly the liberties of the people. Suppose such an arrangement would be attended with greater expense, the peo pie of South Carolina are willing and anx ious ot any cost to innkc the change. I)oN. Shall we Baisc our Wheat. In commenting on our report of the South Carolina Agricultural Society, the New York South says : "With the boundless advantages of soil, climate and intelligence which the State enjoys, it is an amazing fact that it iui ports yearly, two million bushels of wheat out of the twenty-six hundred thousand it consumes. The three millions of dollars this supply costs represents a dead loss of at least two millions of dollars, since, with a proper rotation of crops and a better .?5'stem of agriculture it could be produced on the same acreage now under cultivation without diminishing the yield of other products now obtained. The remarks of the report apply particularly to the coast lands, where semitropical fruits and cereals grow with unparalleled luxuriance, and where the cultivators skill is more taxed to restrain nature's fecundity than to stimulate it. We must protest against the presumption that eighteen bushels of wheat per acre is a fair average for the soil Carolina enjoys. It might indeed satisfy a Michi' gander who builds his house on sand and sees balf of his new sown seed blown info his neighbor's field every time a gale of wind comes on; but it is a preposterously small production for any soil that has not been worked out by a successive series of the same crops. Thirty bushels per acre can be raised as readily as fifteen, and at a less propor* tionate expense. The secret is to concentrate the outlay of fertilizers, labor and attei.tion on small tracts instead of diffnsinir them over an extensive surface An English crop of fifty bushels to the acre, is far from uucommon, and that on soil no better adapted for wheat, naturally, than the Carol inas enjoy.. The much railed at lien law expires in January next, and those who are likely to be short in corn had better deal in futures, by planting barley, clover and rye patches, as well as oat and wheat fields, forjust so sure as the lien law expires in January, 1378, just so sure will the coming year be the most trying upon the sons of toil of any since Francis Marion astoi ished the British officers by eating roa3t potatoes.?Darlington Southerner. 1 , A Swiss colony settled on Cumberland i Mountain, Tenn., 111 1S73. This colony j i which consists of one hundred and fifteen families, making a company of about sev- < ?n hundred people purchased ten thou- j and acres of mountain land at one dollar 1 oer acre, and now although but four years < lave elapsed, each head of a family has a . comfortable home, surrouuded by an or- i chard and garden and decorated with a j profusion of mountain flowers. There is < i large store that is managed for the col- y my, members of which get goods from it ] it wholesale cost; the colony has its own j ( chool, church, doctors, <fcc., and the j Timptyvc th-Mv own eandidntns to frnvorn ' . the districts in which they live. Thecoljnists already have dairies and cheese fac- tories in successtul operation, and all * their products find ready sale and com- * mand fancy prices. They have splendid ; * herds of cattle, and their barns arc built ;c i J is carefully as their houses. There is also ; c i colony of Swiss near Greenville, S. C., | c about as large as the Tennessee colony, t and is prospering finely. Senator Morton died at his home in Iudianapolis last Thursday. Mose Wilson, the outlaw, was hung in Spartanburg last Friday for the murder of John Murphy. He protested in his innocence to the last. Fletcher Brown was shot and killed by Henry Wise at Ross' station, in Colleton County last Saturday. The difficulty was caused by Brown's attentions to a young lady whose parents objected to him. Wise was arrested and lodged in jail. The grand jury in Richland county returned a true bill against Honest John for bribing the m< mbers of the Legislature to vote for him. i WASHINGTON LETTER. [ From Our Special Correspondent ] Washington, D. C., Nov. 5, 1877. Could the dozen "burgesses" who 250 f ..ill., c x years ago iormeu me urst legislative assembly of America" be summoned from their quiet resting places, to the present Congress of the U. S.,how utterly bewildered would they be at the development of their own ideas; they would protest that theft could be no possible connection between their quiet meetings in the log fort at Jamestown, and this assembled, scheming, turbulent House! But adieu to the ghosts; the Congress of to-day is an established tact with all its attendant lobbies and committees. It is noticeable that none of the aspirants for the Speakership are placed at the head of one of the 48 committees, with the exceptipn of Mr> Cox of N. Y., who is Chairman of the Library Committee. The Committee on Banking and Currency, with Mr. Buckner at its head, is a purely representative body, for its eleven members have expressed as many different views on "hard money," "resumption".the *'trade dollar," Ac., as there are sides to the question. It is probable that the Committee of Ways and Means and of appropriations will labor diligently on retrenchment under the banner of "Economy." Whether?to borrow a phrase?"the cheapest policy will f rove the least expensive," future extra sessions, called to make appropriations and provide for deficiencies may prove. With the naming of committees, the legislative machine began to move, the unprecedented number of new bills already introduced, then will be no lack of work. The elections in many of the States, being close at hand. ;i large uuuiber of the members have left to be at home among their constituents. The Colorado ease in the House and the Louisiana case in the Senate have each been referred to the committees on elections. The Senate has confirmed a number of the President's nominations, but others remain that will not slip through so easily. The minister nominated to Kngland i? Mr. John Welsh of l'cnn., President of the Centennial Comui's ion. not Mr. William Walsh of Philadelphia, prominent in Indian affairs. The Pennsylvania delegation is supposed to bo policied, but it begins to appear as though the glory and freedom of republicanism is somewhat fettered when the President must walk softjy, stopping to appease sections and distribute "gifts'' a'l round l.ke sugar plums, to put each in good temper. The Preside it and several of his Cabinet have had a rest from their official duties, and were relieved from a throng of hungry aspirants for place by the recent trip to Richmond. After parades, speeches end dinners, they have returned ready for whatever the winter may bring forth. The President's thanksgiving proclamation is long enough for Leap year: 'twill "fill out" in newspa pers and church services and not injure the flavor of turkey and mince pics at the yearly gathering around thousands of tables in happy homes. The education of the freedmen is destined to be a slow and up hill work, attended with more or less discouragements. The people of the North arc rather inclined to take the credit of whatever has thus far been accomplished, but they should be fair, and give the South its due in the matter. It is a fact that the South spends $1,000,000 yearly for the education of her colored population?while the .i- ..11 ?iinn nnn uurill I UILIIMlC's. an iuiu, uuu viw/,vw. 1 he State of Virginia alone has given more than the American Missionary Association. The work belongs to the South and should be carried on as far as possible by them. Where northern energy and culture utilizes southern funds, tho best institutions are established, Hampton University in Southern Virginia is a casein point-the State gives $10,000 annually to its support, and its keen, active President, Gen. Armstrong, iscoi stantly interesting leading Southern gentlemen in its behalf. He is now urging the government to send to this institution some of the Nez Perces Indian youths and try the experiment or educating them. The ouly objection to the plan is the means to carry it out. There is ample room, all the appliances for a practical education in mechanic arts and farm ing and abundance of fertile and well wa tered land. For emigrants of all cl asses, savage or civilized, there are vast tracts of irahle land in Virginia and North Carol*; 1 la, cheap, and accessible to market. His >>ry is now repeating itself, and the tide )f immigration is soon to set back again, vj shall soon hear of pioneers to the Old j ^ Dominion, and colonics to the Carolina?,; lividing with the west the tide of emi j ^ration. i 1 Fa v, j THE sun. 1878.
