Tuesday, April 10. : i 1877. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO.'8. REYNOLDS, Associate Editor. There is not a white Radical in this - douiity.'- Warrenton (Ga.) Clipper. And very few left now in this coun;r. The brood is thinning out. Mr. Chambolain, it is said, refus ed to accept a Federal appointment, and will practice law in Now York. He is a good lawyer, and will find it more profitable to bulldoze New York judges than S' uthorn Demo crats. lion. Jere Black says that tho two gientcat calaiities that ever befell mankind atre the fall of Adam end the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers. io might have added two more, the births p Judas Ascariot and Joe Bradley'. ThQ Columbia Reg ister of Sunday last says: "Ex Governor Chamber lain returned yesterday from Wash, ington. Ne will make a show of fight for the governor's office in order-to .. complete his programme for milrtyrdorn. We learn that he says h16 will hold the office until re moved by force, and that he will push his claims regardless of por sonal consequences. There was an effort to gather a crowd to hear the ex-Governor spoak in the afternoon, but it was a miserable failure." Would-be-S enator-who-won't-get his-seat Corbin was recently inter viewed by a Philadelphia reporter and he fairly frothed at the mouth. He pronounces Radicalism in South Carolina dead, says that the Re publicans bad better make terms with the Demoerats while they can, and intimates that the quondam Radical leaders will abandon the State inquest of more genial climes. The A4mimistration, in his opinion, has acted treacherously towards its Southern supporters, and be there fore views with complacency the inevitable collapse. All of which means that Corbin sees that his party has gone to the d- and in tends to save his precious, hide by flight. -No more blood money for Corbin in South Carolina. Our Fntire Policy. To-day, by formal order from Wash ington,. tho troops will be removed from the Stato House after a con tinuous unconstitutional occupation of that building since the night of the 27th of November. Its anniver sary should ever be observed as a holiday, ne mr'king the complete disenthrallment of South Carolina from the damnation of aliens and enemies, and the first step towards the restoration of constitutional liberty in the United States. But, while rejoicing in the events of the day, we should not he unmindful of the requirements of the morrow: nor, resting content with the ass'ur nd pre'senl, negleot to observo the precautions nocessary to soeure the future. The eyes of raiillionsq be.. yond our Stet limits are anxiously wacigthis experimont of relegat-. ing the, manageoment of local affairs solely to those directly interested, and a fAlso step on our p~art will instantaneously raise a howl from them against the National Adminis tration which will irreparably injure our cause. Not only this--local interests, political and material alike, denianid the largest share of political~ sagacity and justice in *olving the problem of the future. Governor Hampton's course has boon marked by consummate wis.. dom, and as his word is, for the time boing, law in South Carolina, iis *~reypossble that mistakes, not ipoe ofrsao hti our oiinsol eteplc pursued. The no!irtually defunct Radical pary n tisState (tonsists of two elase, hemasses and the leaders. The dMes a* a bdivided -into dupes nd .k ore have been miserably deluded .by those in whom they reposed confi dence, and their support of a vicious government has arisen from sheer ignorsice.- Now that the State is safe, they should be forgiven. When the discovery is made by them that the success of conservatism weaunanore food and better cloth ing, they will give no trouble, but will support a decent administra, tion with the same zeal they evinced in upholding a licentious one. A large number of colored voters, however. without attaining the dignity of leaders failed only for want of intelligendo or shrewdness. Corrupt and brutal in their natures, they loved wrong for wrong's sake tend perverted the power of suffrage entrusted to them for the good of the commonwealth, into aii instru muen t for the gratification of race prejudiceo or love of plunder. These should be marked as dangerous members of socioty, just as the Ro. mans tied hay to the horns of vicious cattle or the modern show man placards the cages of his menagerie They are not danger ous when their o vil propensities are known, and a proper precaution is sufficient to secure the populace from harm by thorn. The leaders of the Radical paaty -all of both colors, who took a prominent part in corrupt political machinations---aro altogether bad. From the latogovernor of the State, and his confederates Corbin and Pattorson, down to the members of the Legislature, and the manipulat ors of county politics, they have all evinced unmistakable symptoms of moral and political leprosy, and the only safeguard against their spread ing infection is speedy banis hment to some pest house. Their exist ence in a community is incompati ble with peace and prosperity. They are running sores, ulcers upon the body politic. Cauterization or the knife is the proper method .of treating them. The most perfect government is that which is most tender towards the good, and most terrible towards the vicious elements of society. Genoral amnesty does not niemLf immunity-to the political thieves and assassins. They must suffer. pun. ishment. In what way, or of what description, time w'11 develop. The Fowls for Eggs. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman gives the result of his exp~erience as follows: "Thme White Leghorn is undoubt, edly the greatest egg producer of any of the recognized broods. I haive at ditferent times kept quite a number of the different broods, and for eggs alone would much prefer the Leghorns if I had a good place for them, where they could have free range. If they must be con fined it is quite another thing. Where the fowls must be confined in small yards, I think the Light Br'ahmams would give the beet satis faction of any breed. They are very docile, mam~ke great pets, aind I have not found them groat eators, w~ith the exception, perhamps, of while thecy are growing. In my expe, rience', after they have got their growth, they consume no more food than the smaller broeds. The Whmite Leghorns are a far more desir'ahlo breod than the brown variety, laying larger eggs, and they arItik oehardy. "The lHmburgs Ihave found to be great layers, but their eggs are not equal in size to the Leghorn egg. The Silver Spangled Ham burgs are the handsome~st breed of fowls in existence. Itis a great treat to see a'wvell-brecd flock of this variety --the beautiful moon-shaped spans gles and large rose-combs showing off a naturally well -shaped bird to great advan tage. The Hamburgs, however, are not a very hardy breed This is the only objection to them. The Black Hamburg is also a verf handsome bird, and, in the writer's limited experience with them, a much hardier breed than their handsome cousins, the Silver Span gled variety. I have never found the Cochins a profitable fowl. As layers they are inferior to the Brahmas. They are great sitters, hut do not make first-i-ate mothbers. The Black Spanish are a very good breed for eggs, nearly eqalling the1 Legherns, but they are not a hardy breed in mny experience. The white face is an ugly blotch on their beau- I ty, and it should never have attrac't ed the attention that is paid to it. Indeed the good qualities of the breed are made subservient to this unnatural facial peculiarity, in which' there is no boenty ox' ,semblance of b11auty. '14 "The Ddirkings iea very good bread, not as hardy as might be desired, but still doing very well when they have the best of care. The fifth toe of the Dorking is a useless excrescence and in my opin ion adds nothing to the beauty of the fowl. "The Dominiques much resemble the common barnyard fowl in dispo sition ; and in nearly everything Dxcopt color they appear to be the same thing. They are doubtless the, common fowl improved by earof il selection and good care. On the whole, the Dominique is a good -fowl, though not in my oxpe rienco equal to seine of the other breeds. "The Light Brahma combinos more desirable points than any other breed with which I am acquainted. if they are judiciously cared for, they are good layers, and can be kept in good condition on the same amount of food usu ally given to the smaller breeds. A. first class -Brahina, besides supplying a liberal quantity of eggs, s always in good condition, and can be killed and-taken to market at 'iy time' when desired, without fattening or any unusual prepara tion. My partiality for the Brahmas is the result of experience with clifferent.breeds, and an earnest con viction that all things considered they aro .the more profitable to keep. On the subject of Brahmas the N ewi England Fariner says : "A Brahma, except it have a fancy value, should never be kept more than about eighteen months, or till it comnmon'es to moult in the tutumn of the second year. Killed it this lime, the meat is excellent, md there has been no lost time from. the- egg to the city market. rho chicken has been growing, lay .ng, sitting, or roaring her young, tho whole time. If kept longer. there is a long period of several bveelcs, and maybe months, whtn the hen is a constamt lill. of expense, md never again can she be as profitable as during the past eight en months. After the moulting season, they often pile up a mass of at which is both unpalatable and mnsalable, while it seriously detracts rom the hen's ability and usefulness ts an egg producer. Brahinas kept n the way ~ we have indicated, we >elieve, will return greater profits o the poultry keepor than any other mown breed. LADI) BROS.
