Thc bill whtoh has boen introducer; in Congress to tax cotton seed oil when used in hud. is nothing mon than :t stab at a great and growing Southern industry. So long as tut North-west could monopolize the lard industry by hydraulic pressure and cheap adulterations, such as beef-fat linseed oil and the like, it was nil right and nothing wm said about adultera tions. lint now the South comes for ward wit'i a cheap, wholesome, vege table substance, which threatened thc Ne r York dairymen and oleomarga rine tax followed. Now Congress is asked to force manufacturers of lard who usc the cotton seed oil, to brand their goods "adulterated" and pay n tax of one cent per pound . It is not claimed that tho hog lard is superior to the cotton seed oil ; on the contrary thc weight of evidence ison the side of the vegetable substance, and thc . most thorough analytical tests have failed to find any deleterious matter in cotton see l oil hud. Upon what ground then do those stund, who ask tlie aid of thu government to suppress tho salo of tiiis Southern product? They contend that this government of oars should not allow dealers to sell cotton seed oil when lard is wan ted. Suppose the order should bo re versod. Inasmuch as government chemists havopronounced cotton seed oil as wholesome as hog oil, how would it do to mark the trichinosis fat, and pul a tax on it instead of thc pure, sweet, vegetable lard which we aro nil now nong. If cotton seed oil is unwholesome, tho sale of it should bo suppressed, and if thc chemists aro right In their report that it is preferable to intestinal fat and offal fat, which is ?0 commonly sold in Imitation of lard, then there is no necessity for this tax, which must come from con sumers. It would protect tho pork raisers, but wc of this part of thc country are sufllciently taxed by those poke-raisers already. To anyone who lins for once vis ited tho South, the reports of some newspaper men on this country cannot fail to be amusing. Tho Ct cfnnuti Ktiquiror man discourses. Among the ignorant c<ii -j vi poople I found an idea deepjy impregnated to the effect that the continuation of Air.

It will doubtless be a source of great comfort to this Knquircr and Iii.-) parasites to soe tho quiet spirit of contentment and relief that bas overspread the countenances of "ignorant colored people'* after fin ding* this deeply impregnated iden" aa void of truth ns the man who in ado such a statement. The "ig norant colored people" did not ! know that there was a confirma tion to be made. ii is wiih much pleasure THE AnVKlVTISER cnn eay, so far as our belief goes, the resolutions ol'the Lisbon Farmer's Club which de nounces the present Covornor ofj South Carolina as "neither a safe | nor reltohle omeo;" expresses the ! sentiment of an Infinitesimally; small number of the citizens of I Laurens Couuty. We are fur from believing any such sentiment ex ists in the minds of the mus* vo ters of this counly. It must be admitted that the good com mon sense as well as po litical sagacity of Frtsident Cleve land has nowhere been more strik ingly illustrated than in his mes sage to tho Fiftieth Congress. As tito representative ot the nation an 1 loader of a great political par ly, ho addressed himself to tho most momentos question ol the hour-a questiou which in hU judg ment must be mel fearlessly. Tho Republican predilection for a paternal government, bas given tlie manufacturers of this country more power titan belongs to tho crown in many other countries. They cati combine on any article of food or clothing anti exact from Hie people the desired tribute. The President believes that a tariff which will not practically exclude goods of foreign manufacture, will in u great degree deprive the mem bers of these combinations of the power lo strangle competition by "trusts," and this is a sound argu ment for a lower tariff. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Fro m Our Regular Correspondent J Washington, Feb. 7th, isis, lu their frantic efforts to ni a nu - ; facture a little much needed polit ical capital this week, the desperate Republicans of the House unwit tingly fell into a snare, from which : they found it impossible to extri 1 cate themselves. They introduced I a resolution to investigate the bus iness methods of Public Printer . Benedict. This official at once re i sponded to the inquiry in a manner r that was perfectly convincing and , satisfactory. It had boon alleged that he was ' in arrears yet it was shown that . every bill introduced in cither . ! fIoti.se or Senate up to the day bo ? fore had been received from the j Printer, and in the document room ; was completely indexed fot?) use ! and reference. Then, upon motion of Mr Sprln I j ger, the investigation was exton ! ded so as to include the term of Mr ? j Hounds (the late Republican prin i i ter,) despite tho protest of the mi , j nority against investigating the do ; ; i tigs of a dead man. Aspiring statesmen have shower I ed tariff bills to the number of three I hundred upon the Ways and Means j Committee. Still the astute mem '{her, whose duty it is to present ' i these measures, will And little trou ble In separating the wiieat from , i tho chaff. As yet the Louisana delegation have been unable to come to an : agreement as to what shall be dene . with sugar in the new tariff bill. This anxiously awaited measure, by the way, is being carefully con sidered, and it is thought by those in position to know most about its character that it will pass the House and be satisfactory to th? country. Although the proposition to re duce letter postage to one cent had its fate sealed for the time by an adverse Senate report, the subject, like ?.Banquo'fi ghost, "will not down." More penny postage bills are being prepared, and will be in troduced and voted upon nguiu dur ing this Congress. Tho Senate has again voted for the opening of Congress on Octo ber 16th, and tho closing of tho short session on April the 16th, and also for changing Inauguration day to April 89th. Should this pass the IIOUHO, being a Constitutional amendment, it would still need to be ratitled by three fourths of the State Legislatures before it could become a law. In tho House there is another bill Which provides that tho Con gress shall open on the first Mon day in January, and the time of fi nal adjournment shall be at noon on the 81st of December. This would practically make a continuous ses sion for the two years term, with only such recesses as the two Hou sbs might agree to. So it is impos sible to know Just what the new law will finally be, but there is lit tlo doubt that the existing order of things with reference to the official terms of the President, Vice Pres ident, Senators and Representa tives will be changed by the pres ent Congress.
