Fertilizers. The committee on fertilizers sub quitted the following report, winch was taken up and adopted seriatim : Your committee to whom was re ferred memorials and rcoolulions from Subordinate Granges in regard to fertilizers, beg leave to report: 1st. That the State Grange solemn ly and earnestly remonstrate against the wrong in advancing tue price of fertilizers, which is an article of com mon use, and just after the adjourn ment ot the .State Legislature. . 2d. That we intend neither hostili ty nor combination against the man ufacturers of fertilizers to impose any damage upon them, but simply to ex press our mature conviction against a common oppression, so ruinous to the vital interests of the eutire State. 3d. That we advise our Pomona and Sudordinate Granges to take im mediate action, through their sepa rate executive committees, upon this ?ubject, which will? present light will accomplish all we desire. 4lh. Th; t the delegates present will immediately advise their respec live Granges of the information ob lainrd at this meeting, so as to facili 1ale the perfecting of all arrange ments necessary for relief. 5th. That the action of the State Grange on this whole mutter, and all actions, communicatio* 8 and corre spondence of Patrons, Granges, Sub ordinate Or Pomona, also of all au thorized agents, are to bo strictly confidential and under the strictest bonds of secrecy, in accordance witli "obligations of our Order," and un -derseal. % J 6th. That the report of Bro'. Feld er be received, approved and spread ? upon our minutes, and the thanks of this State Grange be returned to him for his valuable counsel, and we also earnestly commend hiin to the pat ronage of our Order. The above is the full text of the resolutions adopted by the Slate Grange at a meeting held in Charles ton last week. It is not unnatural that complamts should arise from the planters when the price of uu article, which they have regarded as almost indispensa ble to the successful management of their farms-, is advanced. But whence t-he necessity for such action as has been taken in several counties of this Stale, or what benefits are to be ob" taincd we utterly fail to discover. If the manufacturers of commercial fer tilizers are determined, by concert of action, to demand a given price for their matures, it is evident there arc but two plans for tho farmers to adopt, either pay the price or let the fertil izers alone. . It has been demonstrated conclu sively by practical agriculturists that . Ahe highest degree of fertility may be artificially induced as well by the uee of compost manures as by the use of guanos, and by some it is maintained that lands strengthened by the use of %))t former, retain their fertility for a longer period than those upon which the latter have been used, if this be true and we do not doubt but it is, it is a bit of information which Our planters would do well to avail them Balves of in this conflict with the fer tilizer manufacturers. Our forests arc abundantly strewn with leaves and straw, they border] nearly every field and may ho hauled in at a trifling cost. With energy properly directed, our farmers arc in dependent, and they need not fear for] the result. The press nil over the land is teem ing with advice to the farmer to phint less cotton, make more corn, improve lands by plowing in peas and the use of compost manures. Experience, dearly bought, has convinced many that there ia no profit in growing cot ton at tho present prices and yet there are but few who turn their ex perience to good account. Why this tardiness to learn the cost of produc tion we cannot understand. We hope that thoy will now awake to the importance of doing something to protect and advance their interest, and thut something, in our opinion, is to let commercial manures severely alone, and produce in great abun danco those things which are needed for homo consumption, 'f'hls is the sme road to independence and pros perity. Senator IV?. C. Butler's Seat. The Committee on Elections in the United States Senate by a majority eport decided that 1). T. Corbin was dectcd a Senator from South Caro inn to the United States Congress in December, 1870, and is entitled l< have the oath of olllco administered to him. Tho minority, Democrats, take directly opposite grounds and bnsu their report upon the fact that Senator Butler wns elected by the legally constituted Legislature of the Stale. The issues involved in this elec tion were thoroughly discussed in open Senate during lust November, and that body, after elaborate de bate, determined that Gen. Butler was the legal Senator, and, accord* '"^ly, w'is sworn in as Senator for ihe time in question. The majority report of tho committee, made by Republicans, culls upon the Senate to re-vote and undo its previous action, a requirement never heretofore re cognized by any legislative body, and if persisted in will revolutionize established precedence in such cases. Senator Blninc", who is more of a poli cy monger than a statesman, sees the issues involved in this measure and declares he will not vote to unseat Senator Butler. Senator Edmunds is ,believed lojbe of the same opin ion, and will make every eh*brt to de feat tho measure. The course Mr. Blainc will pursue is based upon his belief that the con summation of such a measure, in its re-action, would be more disastrous to the Republican parly thau to the Democratic in the future. At uo dis tant day the Democratic party will be in complete control of the Senate, and if this report be adopted Kellogg and a few other worthies ma}' expect decapitation without mere}', and the Republicans know it. Our Next Fair. On our first page will be found the full pioceedings of the annual meet ing of the Ornngeburg Agricultural and Mechanical Association, held at the Fair Building on Saturday last. These show that discouragements ex ist among some of the members even to the extent of selling the property and abandoning an enterprise which has had- more to do in moulding the character of the Orangeburg farmer, and advancing his interest to a satis factory success than any other, in the same time, could possibly accom plish. There is no doubt that luke warinness on the part of stockholders is at the bottom of the whole matter. A few enterprising persons have worked faithfully and earnestly so long until their zeal has given place lo discouragement, and the scccess attained does not seem to them com mensurate with the labor expended. Were the enterprise abandoned now, uli that past successes have ac complished will go for naught, and tho Association would bo in a worse condition than if they had never en tered upon the work. To sell now would be to sacrifice the property, and to abandon the Fairs would be to ignore the value of a three days exhibition of mechanical and agri cultural skill, worth, more. to the farmers of Ihe county than the value of the euiire properly. Besides the Instruction imparted and the spirit of a worthy emulation instilled dur ring this period of social intercourse, is worth to every industrial interest more than the trouble nnd expense incurred. Let the Fairs by continued and every stockholders determine lo olfer oppisilion no longer to its succesVby a careless indifference, but use every effort by contribution and palrpnago lo make it a living enterprise, and success is assured. ? mm ? - ? Hon. Samuel J. Tilden. During the examination of Manton Marblo beforo the Potter investiga ting committee, a note wns received from Mr. Tilden requesting that an opportunity be afforded him of ap pearing before its members to submit testimony pertinent to the matters then in hand. Accordingly, a few days later, the victim of Republican fraud appeared In company with his brother, apparently deeply impressed with the solemnity of the occasion. Mr. Tilden occupied the earnest at tention of tho committee for more than two hours, whilo in a quiet, calm, dignified and at times in a sub lime manner, he protested his inno cence ol all knowledge of the cipher dispatches. The room in which the committee held its sessions was full to overflowing with anxious specta tors, and tho fervor of the speaker's zeal often elicited outbursts of ap plause, showing that their sympathies were entirely in his favor. Even the Republican members, who were met cilcss in their treatment of other Doinocrntlh witnesses, treated him with marked consideration in their cross-examination. Air. Tilden was armed with Justice and truth?eiTec tivo wenpons in the hands of honesty against siandef and fraud.- The victory may bo one of time, "bnt it is sure*.to c/jyno m the full ar^d||j?tfihplcte vindication ,of innocence. The Fronoh. France is again in a slate of resolu tion. No country in all Europe can number more somersaults than this ec* centric people. Her history is full of them ranging from those terriblo up heavals which deluged the land in the blood of her citiacns to those petty differences which often effect more than their importance would warrant. The Franco-Prussian wnr unseated the Emperor and inaugurated Ahe Re public over which M. Thiers presided with changing fortune not unbooked for from a people just emerged from despotism. Dissatisfied with the fickleness of bis countrymen, this able ofilecr voluntarily surrendered the Presidential chair. To succeed him Marshall MclMuhon was elected with the pledge of serving the Repub lic for a term of seven years. Unsta ble himself, his re-actionary course kept France in a constant turmoil, until the necessities of the nation forced his resignation. His succes sor was chosen a few weeks since and the troubled spirits of the Frenchmen arc subsiding under the promiso of the new President's past history. A veteran politician, and opponent of socialism as well as of Bonapartisin, AI. Jules Paul Grevy's Republican policy.may be so consistent and effec tive as to put France on the road to political prosperity as a Republican government. - m * m Grant's Welcomo Home. It is understood that Messrs. Ba ker and Childs, of Philadelphia, and the "Sweet Singer" of Michigan, are competing for a prize offered by Messrs. Belknnp, McKee and others, for the poetical welcomo to Grant. The following extract from Mr. Gco. Washington Child's offering has the true ring, and exhales the genuine flavor. It is to be sung as a duet by Belknnp and McKce: "Oh! welcome home, thou might}* chief; Permit ench pardoned whiskey thief, Who but for thee, had died in grief, To meet und greet thee on the'strand, And proudly lake tln-e by the bund. Thrice welaouiu to thy native laud!" Sam Lee, the unscrupulous agita tor and Radical Ore eater, of Sumtcr, has at last come to grief. At the last court held at Surater, Judge Mackey presiding, a true bill was found against him for oilicial misconduct, and the case was tried before a jury composed of eight white and four colored men, which, after two hours absence, returned a verdict of guilty. Lee could not be found, bu' Judge Mackey decided that a party, evading arrest to avoid trial, may be tried in his absence. Hon. Judah P. Benjamin, ox-Con federate Secretary of State, is now living in London on an income of ?150,000 a year from Lis law prac tice, tie has, on more than one oc casion, refused a seat in Parliament as n member of the House of Com mons and very recently a Judgeship, because an acceptance of cither oflice involved too great a sacrifice, not paying more than 825,000 per year. Mr. Benjamin, perhaps, is the only Confederate exile living in clover. The Thornwell Orphanage, located at Clinton, S. C, met with a very great loss recently by the death of its devoted ami beloved matron-, Mrs. Jacobs, wife of .Rev. W. P. Jacobs, the founder and head of that truly philanthropic nud Christian institu tion. An exchange remarks: ''Grant's friends are going back very rapidly into the United States Senate and the penitentiary." Wonder if the penitentiary ain't getting the most of them. It is a pocullnr fact that nobody knows who will bo the next Demo cratic candidate for the Presidency except a select circle of Republican editors. Kimpton and His Lawyers. The two lawyers who helped ex Pi nancial Agent Kimpton, of- South Carolina, out of his trouble in Mas sachusetts last autumn nro no longer pleased with his character. The Springfield Republican says : "Con siderable expense was incurred,which they paid, taking Kimplon's note at three months for $200 to reimburse them. This they endorsed and had cashed at the First National Bank at West field. When It fell duo in De cember Kimpton wrote asking that it be renewed, and flio bank allowed an extension of forty-five days. The lime was out Satuiday last, and the bank, refusing iongjr to renew, tic-1 mauded $100 eacli of tho two young lawyers, which they paid to snve their credit. One of them has written to Gov. Chamberlain asking him 'what kind of a scoundrel his friend Kimp lon is.'"?rNi Y. tiuening Post. Commercial Fertilizers end Cotton, Will the high-priced fertilizers pay with cotton at 8 cents per pound? I answcY no. Will the continual ap plication of commorcial fertilizers to our thin sandy soil, planted in cot ton without rotation of crops, materi ally enhance the product of cotton or improve tho soil? I answer from sad experience of ten or fifteen years, no. Why will farmers persistently con tinue to apply them to cottou when tho rcsilrHr-will evidently be to their injury? I answer, they arc decep tive. They give the cotton a vigor ous start, and a llattering promise in May and June, and if there is not plant food otherwise in the soil the inevitable, result is rust or shedding. I saw in the editorial column of the Charleston News and Courier an ex tract from the Darlington Njws about these fertilizers. I adopt his words as true and good ns far as cotton is the crop. These are his words: "At the commencement of the-new year we again warn our farmers against the improvident use of commercial fertilizers. We do not aay that there is no profit in the judicious use of them on soils already euriched by home-imnle manures, but we no say that their customary application to our thin soiled and worn-out old fields is tho main cause of the pover ty and. insolvency of our farmers. They are meant to stimulate fertile lands. Thoy cannot make soil. The temporary stimulus they give to a thin soil only hastens the utter cx hauolion of its plant growing proper ties." The editor of the Charleston hews and Courier pitches into him, and says: "The commercial fertiliz ers to-day are the product of the chemical skill of the age and contain all the essential elements of phut life; such as phosphoric acid, potash, lime, magnesia, sulphuric acid and ammonia. It is a fuct well-known aud easy of experimental demonstration that a judicious use of the fertilizers as at present prepared, healthy plants can be grown on absolute sand." He further says that "the old Peruvian guano is .open to the objection urged by tho writers." Hero are two edi tors writing upon a subject of which neither has any experimental knowledge. The Darlington News says he expresses the views of the intelligent farmer. The Charleston Newa and Courier expresses the views of the scientific men of the present age. Which are we to be lieve? If the commercial fertilizers contain phosphoric acid, potash, lime, magnesia aud ammonia in prop er proportions it could not fail lo im prove the soil and produce remunera tive crops. I know no intelligent farmer who acknowledges that the commercial fertilizers used by itself improve his sandy laud cultivated with cotton. I have applied it, 200 pounds per acre, for live years in suc cession. Result: first year 800 pounds seed cotton ; last year 351 pounds per acre. I have used it on new lands upon which pea vines have been left to rot witli good results. It has paid tnc handsomely combined with slublc manure, cotton seed and Peruvian guano. From my experience I am forced to believe that the manufacturers of theso fertilizers do not put in ammon ia enough. I have heard it said that they make the ammonia out of one house cot bofllcc for three tons. The editor of the Charleston News and Courier says that the old Peruvian guano is open to the objection of the writer. I ? deny this. The old Pe ruvian guano has proven to he a powerful fertilizer for all agricultural products in every soil and climate. Enough for this time. I may write on this subject again, and show how wc may improve our land by tho use of commercial ferti lizers. J. C. H. Fork Edisto, S. C. Louisiana's New Senator. He stands to-day the foremost Jew in our country, and his co-relig ionists can foci assured that not only will no stain ever attach to him, but that wherever ate found purity of of ficial life, sterling integrity and spot less,private character there will also be found the mame of the Hon. B. F. Jonas, of Louisiana. As a matter of interest to the ladies, we might add that Mr Jonas will be in tho council of the nation, his beautiful wife will be in its sociul circles. Endowed by nature with a superior intellect, she is us charming in manner us she is lovely in form and feature.
