[yews and Courier.]
TSeaI’wort, July 15—A Ifepublfcan
pow-wow, the second'of the seasen, at
the call of the county chairman, came
off At llrick Church, 8t.‘ Helena Island,
on Friday hiet. A'n immence,gather
ing of negroes tv as had to listen
to Smalls, Whippet, 77iggln8,
CoIHuS, Gantt, Robinson and Tom
Hamilton. The meeting v. as unusu
ally quiet and orderly.
Ex-Judge Wigpln spoke first. He
assured his audience of his loyalty to
the party, abused the Legislature, ex
pressed cofidence in Governor Hamp
ton, and counselled union, vigilance
and ^al until 1880, when Grant would
be the eandl late for President, and
unite and crystalizo all elements for
victory.
State S' nator Collins f. llowed, and
exposed fhe black record of that noisy
tdack rascal Sammy Green, his prede-
decossor. He aesrted bis own loyalty,
and txpJaihed satlnfactorally bis deal
ings with the Fieodfnau’c Sank.
Sammy Green came next, and assert
ed hhi' innocence. He bald that he
bad made confession, and criftiihated
himself himself to escape the peni
tentiary, and was sorry now that
ho bad poijured hftoself. ‘
The redodbtable Congressman
Smalls was next called upon, ami took
the stage amid the Vociferous cheers
of'au adoring multitude. It is per
fectly astonishing to witness the in-
breaBtng Infldeuca of this negro.
He seems to possess the confidence of
his race to a degree that no other
negro can hope; to att&ln. The men,
women and children seem to regard
him with a feeling akin to worship.
Eis speech mos'tly directed to a vin
dication of himself from ‘the charges
made agaiut him by the Investigating
committee. He stated to' bb con
stituents that since he had last met
them upon this spot he had been tried,
convicted and sent to the penitentiary.
That his case was how before the
Judges of the Supreme Cohn bf the
State, that at any time he would not
,bo surprised to hear that the judg
ment of the lower court had been af
firmed. ’ That la deference, however,
to the tribunal on whom nis‘ fate de
pended he would have to say the^ are
ail good men, that doubtless their de-
,eieton would be righr,'bht that In the
event of an unfavorable dedsion
against him he would rely upon an
appeal to a higher tribunal', and that
therefore, he did not apprehend he
would reach ths penitentiary before
he would have the opportunity of
speaking to them again and frequent
ly [“Teng God,’' from the voices in the
crowd.] He referred to the admlatra-
tlon df Governor Hampton, - at which
he expressed himself satisfied, and sta
ted that Hd should abetain from speak
log as favorably of him as he felt fo
that his motives "might be miscou-
strced.aod that tAbe accused of crin
ging to the powers that be. . He re
ferred to the just and llbeMl course
of the Governor which had riedmmen
ded him to tbecOnfidhenco of the ‘peo
ple, and believed that If he oontimiAd
to be surrounded by fair supporters
that his counts would cohtlnue to de
mand the itopect which was being
accorded It by adherents of both polili-
cal parties. He told his hearers that
the Governor bad made a speech re
cently at Blackviiie, which for fairness
pledges be had made before bis elec
tion. He ponsjdered the coming, cam
paign as the most Important for the
future of the Republican party. In the
State, and advised a steady adherence
to the StraigJit-o,ur Republican nom
inations. • f . >
The few remarks of, W. G> Whipper,
who followed, were, as usual, in defi
ance of arrest and exposure qf any
fraud he had ever comnpiRbbd against
the State. He denouoed tlm Denjo-
srats, and declared himself, opppsed
to Governor Hampton, whose sincerity
he doubted. He abused the late Leg
islature, whom he regarded as thp
weakest set of frauds ever sent to rep
resent a people, and thought that their
miserable performances were calcula
ted to add strength to an Indepen
dent party, of which he was in favor.
At the conclusion of his speech and
some scattering remarks from Joe
Robinson and Hastings Gantt, it was
put to the vote whether Tom Hamil
ton, who was present and who had
come for the purpose of being
heard, should he alllowed to
speak. At. first there was con
siderable doubt ae to whether Tom
would be suffered to address the faith
ful, and most un;! asant, demonstra
tions were made in favor of gagging
him and choking him off completely;
indeed, pfter it waa agreed that he
should be heard, attempts ware made
to prevent pis utterances.
• A- ... * *
Smalls, however, whose influence is
all powerfuI,;lnsi8ted that hoshpuid be
;stened to respectfully. Hamilton
then proceeded to say that he had no
apologies to make for the course he
had pursued ; that bo didn’t care a
continental whether they approved
his course or not, that he would re
peat the same un Jor the same circnra-
atances again, and that if it was due
to him, ps has been charged, that the
Democrats are in power, that he was
glad of it as It secured to the State
Governor Hampton, in whom he bad
the utmost reliance and confidence ;
that hp Was a Republican, but that he
Intended to act and speak- as he
thought best, fie defied the crowd,
(ft f ' ,i* 1 7
whom he understood intended to read
filth out of the party ( p,nd desired to
state that (t was fpl that ptirpoce
he had taken the trouble to come ov«r
and attend the meeting, to which, al
though not invited, Intende'd should
have his presence and his .voice*.'In
conclusion he stated that he ; would
not say what he thought of them then,

themselvep to stop their unlawful
work,, and if the citizens generally will
engage to discountenance tbe illicit
manufacture and sale of whiskey, he
will exert bis personal influence to tbe

Ashville, N. G., July 7.—The famous
Bald Mountain Is afraln in a state of
agitation. Yesterdhy some parties
who visited the place found that the
rent across the mountain bail become
wider. The discovery of t'hla chasm
was first made public fd' the Glbbe-
Democrat two months Ago, and a full
account of the internal convulsions
given then. The rent in the mouhtaln
is now considerably wider. The Glbbe-
Democrat correspondent, in company
with many citizens, visited the place
td-day. Upon looking Into the chasm
an entrance to aa Immense and appa
rently unfathomable cave la seen. It.
Is now a settled fact that' the whole
mountain fa hollow, thus making one
of the most wonderful and startling
natural curiosities In the world. Du
ring the week occasional rumbling
noises have been he*rd in its bowels,
but whether they proceeded from
seething, boiling lava, or other rq^jally
mysteiious causes is yet to'be ascer
tained, Crowds of visitors are flock
ing hero hourly, and arc gazing Into
the mysterious volcano, if such it is,
with a feeling of awe. Arrangements
are being made for a thorough explo
ration of the mountain, but so far
there are but few men who at^ willing
to be first to start on the underground
journey. Already tbete are wild *nd
mjBterloub stories afloat' which are
believed by the superstitious. 'It is
stated that last night figures could be
seen through the chasm movisg about
la the great subterranean balls of the
mountain by the light of torches,
whose occasional flasbeo," darting
through tbe clefts and cragl, struck
terror Into tbs hearts of the simple
mountaineers. Again it Is said that
these mountain gnomes are nothing
mord than a gang of unsubdued illicit
distillers, who bavs made good use of
tbe place, and kept up thl’ noise* to
frighten people a#hy. Thfe mystery,
whatever it Is, will be solved In a few

_ , t... Weather,
It is difficult to make thfe average In
tellect understand or comprehend how
It is that a corn floW or a oabbage or a
cauliflower patch'is greatly benefltted
by constaat stirring of the soil about
the plants In dry' weather ; and espe
cially If there lo a total absence of
weeds, And the surface is not only dry
but powdery and dusty.' But such is
-the fact; aad under our climate', In' a
summer of averagb dews, It is believed
by many to be possible, not only to
make a good crop ^ot Corn, but cab
bages, without a <frop of raiu from
June to October, if only the soli is
stirred about the plants two or tjiree
times Weekly, or oftener. Hut the
stirring should be shallow In very dry
ahd excessively hot weather, the ob
ject belbg to bring fresh eart{t to the
feedibg-rboui and pot too 'mubh to
wound or disturb them. When the
soli is sAturated with moisture' and
the temperature is high and sustained,
the plow may be run both deep and
close to the corn rows ; or oabbages
may bP hoed down tjo tbs ppet bf half
tbdr feeding ioota, provided tipsy are
and benefiting tbe plants accordingly.
After three wet and cool summers,
we seem to hsve fallen on a dry if not
hot one; and if a summer drought and
an early frost shall hereafter appear
In the ordflr of the day, let nobody be
surprised* , The sudden cessation,
about the middle of June, of the rain
fall over a vast stretch of corn grow
ing country, and the incoming of bright
weutbef, has already- very serlqiisly
threatened the outcome of tbe £Grn
crop, apd It behooves those having
corn growing to make the mostpf it;
that Is, in dry weather to keep the
plops going as long as It is possible to
use them. And so of every other hoed
crpp. Btlr the surface, and stir it of
ten ; and much ot ttae injury frog) se
vere drought may bo avoided. > *
Fifty-Four Bushels of Oats to the

’ u ’ : l ; J.?* f
Hr. W. F. Barton sends the follow
ing report to the Orangeburg Times :
„ Having seen the expeiimente- made
by Dr. SU Jullqn; Baveoel, at the At
lantic find Stono Phosphate works With
wheat, oatq, barley ^nd rya, manured
with the ash element and peaa I was
satisfied with the rosults f pnd con
cluded I would give It a trial on my
farm, and I herewith give you my ex
periment with Its results:
On the first of July, 1877. I took a
piece of land, five acres, which had
been planted In oats the two previous
years without manure, yielding from
sixteen to eighteen bushels per acre.
On part of the five acres I sowed broad
cast five hundred pounds of ash ele
ment per acre, and on the whole five
acres two bushels of cow peas per
acre, turning all under with a Watt’s
turning plow. The result was a luxu
rious growth of vines, the more spe
cially where tbe ash element had been
sowed. No fruit was matured by tbe
pea. On the first of October I sowed
bropdcaat two busbelaef thared rust
proof ostss per here, turning pea and
oats under with a two horse Watt
plow and smoothing off wjth a heavy
drag, , , ,**• * ? >' *• J.‘- 1 d ,
From an acre manured with the ash
element and 39*. pea, threshed and
cleaned, by weight yielded 64 bushels
Specks and 7 quarte, ffrom an acre
manured with peas alone, yielded 30
busbbls 3 pecks and 6 quart*, a differ
ence Irt favor of the ash element of 24
bushels and 1 quart and a diffisrettoe
of about 36 bushels between the nato-
ral land without any manure and that
manured with the ash element and
pea. The land experimented on was
about equal in productiveness. >
I tried also an experiment with tbe
ash element and shinny qr speckled
pea. Th« result was unsatisfactory.
The cow pea should be the only
pea useiTin these experiments.

demonstrated the inadequacy of our

Carlyle—the doctrine which makes
that bilious prophet preach the Gospel
of Frederick the Great for Germany,

savior of England out of the convul

is a good thing to take this doctrine

A special from Greenville to the

shaw to-day filed bis decision refusing
to transfer to the United States Court
the proceedings against H. P. Bane,
Wip. purhsm, R* H ficruggs and G.
W. Mocoe, Indicted -for the murder of
Amos Ladd. The’ opinion is ablS, clear
cogent, and concludes as /ollows :> *
The prisoners’ counsel have, with
great propriety, come Into this court
to invoke Its aid to the jurlsdlptloiv of
the Circuit Coupt, to which they would
resort Holding the views expressed
herein. It is my duty to refuse their
motion.
It is much better for the peace of so
ciety in the disturbed sections of this
ocyintry, where these revenue .troubles
have prevailed, that I am enabled to
reach this conclusion. Nothing tends
more to maintain the supremacy of
the laws and to enlist in their support
the hearty good will of the people yB%»i
the assurance of a regular, orderly end
Uniform administration of justice
through "the Vbgular and accustomed
chahnnls. On the ot^er hand the in
terposition of extraordinary and unu
sual modes of dispensing liur and jus
tice tend to shake the oonfideaoepf the
people in the integrity of, it* adminis

vokes to lawlessness and, disloyalty to
all law.
