A NOVEL P?E8ENTMENT, A eurious document has come before tho public in thc shape of ti presentment by tho grand jury of Abbeville County, Not content with a formai presentment of the Supremo Court Judges for incom petency, the L?gislature is assailed and the whole machinery of our government denounced. Thi?) body seems to have caught the "Smart Alexisin" of tho day und after saying; a grout deal where of they know but little, ure con strained to say : "We recommend that the Legis lature appoint a committee of learned mon to remodel and sim plify all stu h laws now on the sta tute books, and to give tho defini tion of each phrase and a synopsis of the entire law." "We nro reminded again of that Laurens statesman who though ?we ought to have but one law and everybody ought lo follow it." Since the formation of our gov ernment "learned men" have been striving year by year to perfect our laws. Nothing short of Omnis xdonce, can accomplish perfection in lftws, but the wisdom of ages has developed the fact that the best xray to make laws for South Caro lina is to have the law-making power divided into two branches. --Sewateand House of Represen tatives. Without details, it has been decided that the consent of a majority otthese senators (one from each County) together with tito con Meat of a majority of tho members of tho House (one hundred and twenty four in number) shall be ne cessary before a law is made or re pealed^ Now?, xvo submit that laws by a General Assembly thus con stituted., olected by the people, aro better it is reasonable to suppose, thau the laws of any "committee of learned men" who might be "ap pointed" to "remodel and simplify." Provision has been made for a cod ification of the statutes every ten years; this is a?S that is ueoessary -or that cnn bo done. The very natur? of our govern ment must be changed before laws can be made otherwise thaw Ivy the Legislature. Even thc legislature itself cannot delegate the power of making laws to another. This is recognized by every writer'cnt con stitutional law. 'ibo Legislature must pass tho acts, and <oVur Wvurts construe thc language, ??nd when this is done, nothing retma??is for this "committee of learired men" except to collect tho lawn passed, and have them published in con venient form, just ns tho taw now directs, and ns it is done every ten years. The fact is this Grand Jury seems to havo forgotten to inquiro ?tito matters belonging to their office, but has essayed to be State eensors. President McBrydo of the South Carolina College \\*s offered *?.000 to accept the presidency of the Uni versity of Tennessee, but has boon induced to decline the offer and re gain his present position, at a sa fu ry of only $3.000. As we view this matter it was ?n act of dis nt crested patriotism on his part. Mr. McBride is a poor man, dependant upon Iiis labors, and we submit that an increase in salary of $2,000 is nu item which iow less patriotic mon could have declined. Besides, the Tennessee University, is the pride Of tho state Demagogues do not find political capital in Abusing it, audits per manency and usefulness, its power for ffood, is not annually jeopardiz ed hythe legislature. Those who havoclosoiy examined the work of the South Carolina College since tho administration of President McBrydo, from ti desire to- learn the facts, and not with tho precon ceived determination of finding fault, have fourni that the institu tion has been steadily growing in favor. Now that tution is charged to every young man who is able to pay the same, it ls hoped that the time is not far distant when ou? peoplo will again appreciate fully the work of this grand old Institution. Tho rosult of investigation in Now York, allows that throe-tenths of tho farms aro mortgaged, and ono in twenty of the tann proprie tors hopelessly in debt. The suggestions of Co), Watts as lo "rag-weeds" ore timely amt prac tical. Skeptics on tiie subject should at lonst give their mnttor n fair trial, but as he says, all depends upon having tho weeds properly cured. THE II HI? HT HI Di:. Tlie following article from the Abbevillo Medium is eminently senslblo and meeta our endorse ment. "So ninny lugubrious accounts of the condition of our people have been published that it shoid be a relief to look upon, the bright side of things for a little while. In 18b*? fou vid a desolate and improverish ed County. There w as tin money in circulation, there was no mer chandize, no schools, no luxuries and labor was disorganized. Our political condition was of thu worst. Then came the evil days of recon struct lon w hen for eight years wc were systematically robbed and plundered until wc were reduced t > the last extremity. Since 1S7<> there has been a con stant improvement until now we are in a happy and prosperous con dition. Our schools and collegs have been re-opened Und are now crowded with generous youth, ac quiring knowledge anti laying broad and deep the foundations of future usefulness and eminence. Factories have gone upon nil sides. Railroads have been built and are now successfully operated in all sections of tho state. Labor-sav ing implements have taken tho the pince of the crude devices of tlie olden timo. Our productions have been increased and our indus tries diversified. Our people have claimed their own and we have an enlightened judiciary. Crime is punished and we have faithful Ju ries? Lifo is secure, property is safe and there are no obstructions to the peaceful pursuits of happi ness. There is no prollt in the lamenta tions so common among us. Wo are doing as w ell as roost people in other sections. In parts of Texas people are perishing. In the North thousands are out of homo -.and an archy (daims its victims in the pe riodic excitements that afflict that latitude, lt ls best to think of the blessings which have been shower ed upon us than to repine at the troubles that visited us in the past. Further developments in the Hoover agitation show (dearly the i objeet of the organization. There can no longer be doubt but that tho objeet is to swindle the negroes out of their money. $1,00 is collec ted from each member and for warded to Hoover, at Hickory N. 0. This is the sole objeet of the or ganization, although? after having a compact secret society, tin; mem bers themselves might bc induced to go forward in un worthy schemes. Tho citizens of Greenville have ne ted with becoming discretion in their course last week, mention ed elsewhere. They reasoned with tho mem bers, showing tho folly of such an organization, th? danger likely to result, and told them that no such secret society could exist. Tho negroes seem glad to have their leaders exposed and now the Hoover movement is broken effect ually. The fanners of Laurens County are fortunate in having the great Fanners' Congress or Encamp ment in such,easy access. Surely all who can leave home in August will not miss this rare opportunity of attending such an interesting and profitable agricultural meet ing. Thc Hoover' organizer of Green ville has declared,!! boycott against Fdgofield and Laurens counties. He does not care to meet the young white men of 1 bese counties and this ls the cause of tho boycott. Sensilde fellow' ! Prepare for the "Winter. [J. Washington Watts in Weekly As harvest is at hand and hay time near by, I am moved, in the Interest of the farmers of this State, to again urge tho propriety of pro viding better for tue winter in the way of long forage. The oat crop has been relied on almost entirely heretofore to help out tho small crop of corn fodder, as our people plant comparatively little com and thc oat crop is an expensive one and has got to be very uncertain, it is our interest to look to some other source for relief, Many substitutes present themselves .such as rye, tho millets, the ragweed and crab gras Sow rye on good land, very thick and mow it while In boom, and cure, it as other hay. lt makes very good bay, is relished by all kinds ot stock, and ? have no doubt is equal in feeding value to good timoththy. Tho millets are nil good, whether in the green state or as hay. The mg weed is a volunteer crop, con sequently hny from it costs much loss than either of tho above, and in my (?pinion, is not inferior in feeding value to either. When cut at tho proper time, which is while in bloom, and well cured, I prize it almost as much as good clover hay. All kinds of stock eat lt Will avidity, and it scorns especially to suit the borso. Wo never feed it to milk cows, as it imparts a bitter tate to the milk. It is cured like pea vines, though it requires loss time. Those that ure about three feet high make better hay than those of larger growth. Cut them In the forenoon, cock them in the cook two or three days, when they aro ready for tho b?rn, and as soon as thoroughly cured should be packed closely. In fact, this should be done with all hay, as it get too dry when left loose, and loses much of its value. What shatters off in the barn may be fed to sheep and goats. They will regard it an especial treat. Very many farmer can't bo made to bel levo that there ls any good In the rag-weed. To all such I nay try a little. We aro told to try all things, and to hold fast to that which is good. If any ono gives Ibis / fair trial, and ls not convlnc 9(1 ?hat wo have tho liest hay for .ho cost that eau be found in this the old soldier \owsiind Courier'. country, then I will give it up. Very much the samo may be said about crab grass. It is a volunteer, is very abundant, and if cut While in bloom makes fairly good hay. Rut most people who try to utilize this cotton pest let it get brown be fore cutting it. It is then of but little value, and horses will not eat it if they can help it. All hay gras ses should bo cut while in bloom and ouiod with as little exposure to the sun as possible. Tho Suit ol' Sullivan. The Augusta Chronicle. Abbeville S.C., Juno 21.-(Special.] There appears to bc a considera ble misunderstanding in regard to tlie attachment of the property of I the Atlantic.Oreoitvillo and Wes i tern railroad company by Sullivan, i a contractor on the toad bet?re and since it was purchased by Susong A Co., On the 28th df last January Susong <V Co., through their attor ney, W. 0. lionet, lOsq.tOf this place, paid Sullivan eight thousand dol lars in cash, on the condition that the remainder of his claim was to bo paid as soon as the work dom; by Sullivan should be measured and valued by two competent engi neers, one to be selected by Susong A Co., and tho other by Sullivan This contract was drawn up in wri ti pg and signed by the parties. Sullivan now refuses to abide by tho report of the engineers who cut down lus claim and then elects to sue for the whole amount, vthlch ls over ten thousand dollurrs. The proceedings in attachment against Susong & Co., ure simply based up on tho fact that Susong & Co., are non-residents. Under our code the property of non-residents defen dants can bo attached to cover judgement and costw If the plaintiff prevails. The popular idea that attachment proceedings ure only connected with insolvency and fraud is erroneous, and it seems that tho plaintiff In tho case has tried to take advantages of this mis I appr?hension. I am reliably informed that Su song A Co., aro perfectly solvent, and they would have Hied any ne cessary bund had notice been given them of the intention of Sullivan to attach their property. There is no allegation of fraud on tho part of the phd nt i IV. The suit is simply one for the recovery of money upon a claim about which there is n dis pute. Susong A Co, their attorney informs me, is perfectly willing to pay for the work done by Sullivan. Tho whole matter will turn on tho conti act signed by Susong A Co., and Sullivan. Editor A nv v. KT I S K H : About this time last year there appeared in cotton in our immedi ate section a very small insect, that proved to bo very dblusterous to cotton wherever it nppoared. The insects ure about as large as mites and of a reddish color. When once started they appear by thous ands on a single *talk. The cotton leaves turn red, in fact the whole stalk turns red, and everything on it drops off, but the stalk leaves out again lute in the Fall. They do not spread very fast nt iirst, but tho later I nj tho season the faster they spread until tinnily the whole Held is ravaged. They are beginning to re-appear this year in a low places. Chin you give any information concerning those insects? What is the cause and origin and how can they be exterminated ? Canjtho Department of Agricul ture gvo any information ? With this exception crops are the finest they have boen in a number of years although they are suffer ing a little for rain. Yours &c, JAM KS lt. WATKINS. MARRYING GERMAN NOBLES. Tim MUtnkc* Which Som* A n*r>rlran (.lil-. M 1.1 . <l iti i I ?tl Lifo Al.ul, American women make mistakes in marrying (?crinan husbands. Many nm bilious mammas come to the fatherland now intent upon marrying their daugh ters to noblemen. Nothing is easier in the world, providing a few requisites ar? nt hand, (?crinan nobility -far differ* eut from England, where the right of primogeniture prevails-aro as mi morons as tho legions of Artaxerxes, being prac tically the majority of the nation. Weighty tomes for any library shelf aro tho Ootha genealogical calendars ami blue blood l>ooks. A baron's seven SOUP arc likewise barons, P count's children, though ns numerous \ Jacob's, uro all counts. This is true of >nch rank in tho nobility scale. German officers have wonderfully elastic hearts, and, "liko Dexter, can easily pro|>oso twice in one night." Beauty, believe me, ia not a necessary requisite; homeliness is just ns vendible ns tho qualities which inspired the hesi tation of Paris, Germany is certainly the Eldorado for moneyed women with burning desire to marry. That explains, too, thu Medusaliko females one often meets hanging upon tho arms of Apollo like sons of Mars, if tho doubtful myth ological comparison l>o allowed. Money was tho open sesame. Three years ago a beautiful New York girl |>osod iw a beauty in berlin society, creating nu unusual sensation. She wns the IK'IIO of the season, and her wealth Inking moro than commensurable with the demands, ber admirers wore logion. But she gave ber heart to a sturdy young lieutenant, who seemed tho worthiest of all. Tho falber of tho young lady, it wns feared, would object to the match, and tho two now schemed to ovorcomc bis resistance. Tho officer could speak no word of English, but his intended thought it best that ho should embark at once for Now York, disclose tho secret and obtnin parental consent. With porsevor nnco slio taught him tho following ex pression: "I came to ask you for j our daughter's hand." Repeating it during tho entiro voyngo, ho felt no apprehen sion, but wns certain of victory. Ho landed, nnd driving to the brown Rtono front on Fifth avenue, entered without further delny. Wishing to liavo tho ap pearance of impulsive notion and "con tnining" love, ho stormed tho old mer chant with that expression which he hod brought over tho ?ea: "I came to unk you For your daughter's hand." The flnalo ?an IXJ eonily fancied. Tho old gentle man ordered him lmck to bis rogimont ?nd wroto ?big daughter n homily on "brass buttons" nnd thoir queer Knglisb, which ?ho will remember a lifetime. But, to ;omplet0 tho ?tory, they journeyed back together end convinced tho obstinate father of tho impossibility of their sep aration. Hut tho life after marriage, as the poor Now York girl has experienced to her sorrow, ia not gilded hy tho halo which misled her. Tho lifo is not a round of pleasuro and court balls. Tho kitchen apron is oftener worn than tho salon "decollete." Tho market house and tho pantry aro tho scenes of her greatness. If tho husband accompany the wife ope >n tho street, though her burden bo as heavy na a cross, he will not help her, because it is not good form for a man to IHJ molested with anything, Ho will wonder, to, why hus American wife has any other interest than gossip und the preparation of his biscuit and coffee. His Histcrs never have. Ho will not l>e with ber often. Ho will have no single "night out," but every night. The days -inno cent, happy days-w hen she should rec ognize her ow n acquaintances are past. The "lords of creation" decide whether they will have her acquaintance, and fdic bows and serapes to "Tom and Harry" us never across tho water. Divorces aro comparatively raro, but let that not mis lead you. It is not because love is perched above the Penates, but be cause money holds them with tho chains they cannot break. Tho * aching hearts are there, and more numerous iu the circle of one s friends than tongue can tell or pen describe. And, in conclusion, let mo repeat, as the result of extended observations, that it is far better for tho American girl to remain true to the lover of "Poverty Tint" than marry tho gaudiest "blue goggled" man in nil the German realms.-Herlin Cor.

At thc burying ground a long trench is dug and the bodies are dumped In and cov ered over with two or three bsd of earth. The great objection to thc food is tho manner of cooking, Everything is cooked with onions. They are found in the soup and hash, mid the beefsteak is smothered in them. Even tho tea and coffee taste mid smell of onions. The employes of the American Dredging Company always receive pay in silver issued by the Chilian government, nnd each dollar ia worth about sixty-five cents.
