The subject of taxes, an t asy - to talk about, but a difficult one to treat -factorily at any time, will come up and .- .« to be hoped will b* acted upon with wisdom and discretion. The people are willing to pay liberally for the support of » good government and even give their lives in support of the same if necessary, bit! 'hey do not o:.re to read long winded spe ^hes which amount to nothing. So let "'i r lolons guage their orafotical exercises a "'•dingly and before they “vise to the tion’’ make lliemselveB thoroughly tnas- r fthesuhject.

If this bo so, how dons it •ppen that the West has been, and still is, strovghold of Radical predominance? » ire told that the West and South should • .mmercial allies. Why so? The West r been a deadly enemy to Southern terce, because our people have de ed too much upon that section for ■ 2 and meat, which ought to have large- ■?n raised at home.

In ti, in its character, It is the consumma- ) of importance, interest and welfare of ill in the aggregate of your acquaint- , and you cannot ignore it without rably depreciating yourself.” The People Should Have tlie Right to Elect Their Own Servants—The Execu tive Patronage too Targe. An important matter for the considera tion of the Legislature is whether many o. the offices now filled by appointment of the Governor ought not to bo elective. Take for instance the important offices of County Treasurer and County Auditor. Is it con sistent with the spirit of it Republican form of government that the people should have no voice in choosing these two important officials ? Is there any more propriety in tilling these offices by appointment than there would be in filling those of Sheriff. Clerk of the Court or Judge of Probate in the same manner? The Treasurer, or Tax Collector, handles large sums of money and is required to give a heavy bond, and is a position of high tru-t aim responsibility. The individual filling it should therefore be selected by the people and be directly responsible to the people. While these are the two most important, Ut it be remem bered that the Executive also appoints the Jury Commissioner bpsides the swarm of Trial Justices which art-scattered through out the length and breadth of the State. The system inaugurated by the radicals of filling so many important offices by appoint ment is unsound as a principle of Republi can government, and in practice is demoral ixing to public virtue and destructive of po litical harmony. As a system it is the nursery of cliqueism, discord and faction ; oftentimes developing the seeds of more bitterness and strife than the most exciting election. It is a fundamental principle of Republican government that the people should elect their own servants. Under normal conditions the choice of the people is generally wise. The abnormal state through which we have just passed is no refutation of this fact, because at that time the pyramid of society was inverted. The apex was stuck in the mire, while tho base was tottering in the air ready to come down with a crash in obedience to the inevitable laws of social and political gravitation. It cannot be supposed that the appoint ment of any executive, however wise and patriotic, is likely to be as prudent and satisfactory ns if chosen by the people themselves? First, because the Governor in only rare instances has any personal knowledge of the party he is appointing, being dependent entirely upon the ex parte statements of those who have his ear and favor. Second, because the people arc the best judges of who they wish to employ ns servants, as they arc better able to weigh the merits and demerits of candidates by the revere ordeal of an election, than the Governor possibly can when he is continu ally subjected to the intrigues of wire pull ing cliques. If thes ■ principles are sound and the conclusions logical it is imperative that our legislators should Inkc immediate step- to remedy this evil. With the wise and patriotic Hampton in office the evil is not so glaring ns it may become at any time under a different occupant of the ex ecutive chair. Let our representatives take time by the forelock and wipe out this anti- Rcpublican legr.cj of radicalism. Let thorn curtail the enormous patronage of the Gov ernor and thereby remove the pabulum by and .hrougli which cliques and rings spring into existence and perpetuate their own places and power by adhering to the simple rule of political tactics vulgarly known as “ T-tcfriv —o'! tif-kle me and I’ll tickle you.” If thesu principles aveuns •: : 1 ese • • ions nuw If ti mfit 11 dr 1 ubtic 0 - - -s v y ihen -b i’ !i!e luHi lo 1 is State Grange will bs held on tho of February at the Masonic Temple, -Jest 0:1. the sat f > s if ele< 13 as I of ib icre 2 . -ghts of the elective franchise. It is fully as ex pensive to elect half as it is to elect all and if the people are only fit to elect a modicum of their officials they arc unfit to elect any. T ;ke Aiken county for insto'ice. The peo ple elect thirteen officials, viz , one Senator, four Representatives, one Clctk of Court, one Sheriff, one School Commissioner, one Judge of Probate, one Coroner and throe County Commissioners. The Governor ap points fifteen. .Twelve of these aro Trial Justices who at point twelve other officers known as constables. Thus the spectacle is presented in a county of the population of Aiken of twenty-seven officials practically independent of the wishes of the people and who hold their tenure of office directly or indirectly from the Governor. Is this right? Is this sound Demoaracy ? Con trast it with the way the splendid Demo cratic State of Georgia does business. These figu es will apply to every ccunty in this State with slight variations in some in stances. but nevertheless they are tiue, and I t-' allonge contradiction. These fig ures m.ike a sti-'mger appeal in behalf of the tint rainmeled use of the elective fran chise than anything which wc can say. It seems to us that a very simple and ef- feciivc manner of covrecting this grave error in our political arrangements lies in a nutshell, viz. : Let the people elect the Treasurer and County Auditor giving them decent salaries and not the picayune $050 salary which our present courteous, effici ent and thoroughly reliable Treasurer re ceives. Strike out entirely the expensive system of Trial Justices and give us county courts, and let the County Judge be elected by the people or their representatives in the Legislature. MuioFooied Korn.

Tho mule footed hog is a native of the Rocky Moun tains, and is said to be the largest breed of hogs known. In every particular they arc like all other hogs, with the exception of the hoof, which instead of being split is solid.” Ninety Six toasts of a porker weighing 5G0 pounds.

Editor —As a short dcSST^itioii of a visit to the model farm of our county will be interesting and profitable to many of our farmers, I have thought it not amiss 10 give it with a few thoughts it impresses upon my mind.' We (myself and a friend) ar rived there about sun down and were heartily welcomed by the owners, Messrs. Sattertbwaite. Lather and son, or we should rather have pul it, son and father for the son seems to have the management of the farm. Oar curiosity was excited by a glimpse we obtained of the arrangements that evening, but as it was too late to be shown around wc had to content ourselves till morning, not a very hard matter con sidering the attention we received from both the gentlemen and their estimable ladies. After a good supper, a night's rest, and good breakfast, we were ready for inspection. The first thing on the docket as the clerk would say was the dairy. This was furnished witli ail the modern improve ments and conveniences, Attaining uni formity of heal, including ventilation, ;her- mometer, patent churn, butter washer, &o. This department, is presided over by the younger Mrs, Sattertbwaite and most successfully does she do it, turning out an article that brings in tlie Aiken market 35 cents per pound while other country butter is only selling lor twenty-five. The next things to look at were fowls. Here is Mr. S.’s fort, if he has one. Turkeys that wilt weigh from 15 to 30 pounds, magnificent. Ducks, pekin and o. her varieties very in teresting. Toulouse geese, as Mr. Sattertli- wft.'te very aptly put it, would make a lot of ‘‘darkey hash,” weighing 40 pounds. Our notice of the chicken department will be a little more extended as it is very in terestiug. First, the catching house. In this is an incubator for hatching artificially with a -apacity of 240 eggs every three weeks. Imagine yourself with 240 chicks without a mother. What would you do with them? Mr. S. is ready for their comfort. He has a chick housj made with {'liif-s sides on the east and south sides. This admits the light and some warmth to furnish all the time the requisite heat. He has in the house a large boiler stove which is kept running all the time. He feeds all his stock as well as fowls on cooked food. The chicks will be kept in this house until they cau take care ef themselves on their lot. His idea is to keep only such fowls as the Plymoth Rock, Brown Leghorn, and in whom the instinct of setting is nearly bred out audio hatch with the incubator. The house which he uses for setting bis liens is a model of neatness and convenience ns are all his other fowl houses ftom which it is entirely distinct. Our next visit was to the lot. His barn arrangement for co ivenience and utility and for comfort of stock ennnot be excelled. It includes among other things a patent arrangement for stalling cows by which a large number can be enclosed in a small space without the danger of the weaker on°s being imposed on. This con sists of three bars so arranged that when a cow puts her head down in the trough to eat, her neck touches a spring when two of the bars come together and, lo, she is halt ered for the night. She can eat, stand up #r lie down with esmfort, but she cannot worry her neighbors with her sharp horns. Ilia arrangement for the care of his other stock is par excellent. His castle arc Al derney yielding from seven to thirteen quarts of good rich milk per day, none of your “Blue Johnnie,” gentlemen. Mis hogs are Berkshire ; sonic fine specimens; and his sheep Cots wold. These breeds he •considers the best suited to our wants and climate. We will now notice the farm proper. This farm was sold by the original owner because he could not. make a support on it. The fact is, it would not. grow crops, and was considered, until the present own ers came into possession, as the poorest farm in all that country, but by high ma nuring, good culture and a proper rotation of crops these gentlemen arc now making one bale of cotton, from twelve to thirty bushels of corn and from twenty to twenty- five bushels of wheat per acre, and other crops in proportion. This is on land con demned for poverty. We will briefly sum up apart of what we saw on the farm ami close. First, strawberry bed, about t .ro acres, the condition of which plainly showed the attention which they received, besides raspberries, blackberries, &c. Next, three or four young orchards looking very thrifty and healthy. Mr. S. dos’nt pro pose to lose the benefit of his time and money by neglect for he had a hand very busily engaged exposing the collars of his trees to the frost and removing the borer with a knife. Next, was an asparagus bed, which knocked our preconceived notion of a littlo bed in the garden in the bead. This contained about one acre from which Mr. S. proposes to sell niter next season, when it will be ready to cut from 150 to $200 worth per season. And last, his cotton land sowed in rye at the first picking. This rye is from three to six inches high. Very dense and tender. Quite naturally we sug gested that he would pasture this down. Oli, no, he replied, this I will turn under when I put in my crops. Under the force of circumstances, Mr. Editor, I reasoned thereby. Heap of vegetable matter plough ed under make a heap of crop. Heap of crop fed to heap of good cows make a heap of butter. Heap of butter brings a heap of tuoucy. and again heap of stock highly fed furnish heap of good manure. Heap of good manure returned to the soil again make a heap of crop, and so rotation inter minably. All this good rich food ploughed under for the improvement of the soil, think of it ye farmers who havc’nt g.,t any thing for your poor cows to eat but cotton stalks. 1 have only given an unvarnished statement of what I saw. An inspection of this, the model farm, is well worth the time of any farmer. In fact one progres sive man cnthusiasticuLy remarked that a visit to such a farm would place a farmer a generation ahead. We cunuot exactly say that much, but we do say that eucIi a visit would be of great benefit to any man be he ever so poor. He would receive ideas that he could turn to account and be useful to him as long as he lives. The Messrs. Satterthwaite deserve great credit for the example they have set. These are the kind of emigrants we want, men who will discard polities and go to work to build up our waste places. MORE ANON, Chiuquapin. SHERIFF’S SALES.
