The practicability of repealing .the "test; oath, which has for some time been -agitating Congress, sueuis lo be jn: something.of an anomaly in h'gisla f.tion.; and is'tiot.ouly ,u inaCtoi\p!H'ori j ivlcntion between dhe two par ties, but ?nlServes to keep inflamed seclion/d ha orftfed end party animosities, wbi.eh : uteheuld by this tiuie.be discarded from .vpolUics. i->7.'. -If the mero fact of a man I cing a ? /'Confederate during the late war, and : < givuig aid and conifort to a cause ? which he believed to be just and right, . , ds.. to exclude him from the light of vibeiing a juror, the very same.icnson d: ing ought lo exclude him.from a Fed .; <eral cliice like that held.by Poslnms 'tei'Gcneral Key, who was a' Coil fed ! .?erate soldier.

To be con sistent, it appears to us, such enact flnents, which brought forth the test ,o:dh into existence, ought to be based upon principle, applicable . to every <dllee and excluding from every right or none. If it be an anomaly and not intended as a principle,.tliun it is a disgrace to the nation and an insult to her citizens. Such an irregular .act can neither protect a single right ?of n citizen nor prohibit a wrong, and ought to be taken from the statute ?books; because the only purpose it ?an serve is to keep in memory the wrongs that one section suffers at the hands of another, and thus post pone, indefinitely} that return to order and peace which the country so much needs. Indeed there can be no permanent reconciliation so long asthcie is a single law which shuts out one part of our citizens from a right that an other portion enjoys. The people of the North and West are slow in learning that whilst the people of the South arc disposed to be loyal to the government of the United Slates and will make every effort to defend her honor and to advance her interest; yet the memories of the past are as fresh and dear to her citizens now, rs in the days when they were actu ally erignged in defending their con stitutional rights against the aggres sions of the North. No enactment, however exclusive in its application, ' can ever make them repent of the no ble part they played in the defense of ?it"1 cause they believed to not only right but eminently just. The Veto. The Chinese bill, which was intro duced by California and rushed through Congress restricting the im portation of Chinamen to fifteen by any vessel, has been vetoed by Piesi dent Hayes on the ground that it, was a violation of a treaty made with China. This whole matter has the appearance of political trickery, got ten up to subserve electioneering pur poses. Whether this eastern element brings to bear an evil influence on society or whether it is an incubus upon the labor system of our Western country, are questions which might .very well be contrasted with the effects upon society and the labor system of tbo South of our negro e|c mer.t.., Civilization here was certain ly endangered by giving to four mill Ipns of ignorant ncgros all the privi leges; of the government, and the dan ger qannot, bo more threatening to the West from the l;>0,00? Chinamen, who belong to a. higher ijpc than the African. If absolute citizenship, was necessary for the elevation of the ne gro, it cannot be less tor the China man. If thq presence, at the South of so many free ncgroft was required to make labor houprablcv progressive and productive, the presence of an ... equal number of' Cliineso at Iho West) cannot bo less required. Indeed this j summary way of disposing of tho Chinanteh by bill Is but opening the door for a similar disposition of the negro, should he become a democratic element of power. Tho recent arti cle of Mr. Blnine in thc North Amer ican Review has a meaning. Congress. ?

' < ;' D. T. Corbin, Again. 1 This Radical carpet-bagger, who claimed to have been elected Senator t.o represent the Stale of South Carrt lina in the United States Congress and who has been hanging around tho Senate chamber for the hist two1 years as a contestant for a scat which C,?n. M. C. Butler lias occupied since November 187?, co.ncs up before the' public, we hope, for thc last lime. Corbin dees not prescht himself in the usual character of a Radical, or of a United ?States Senator, but as a kind ot semi-beggar at the door of the Senate. ' He is not exorbitant in his demands, but like the modern beggar he is persistent; and he is not unrea sonable in his memorial, but after the fashion of the old Slate House petitioners, he wants only his actual expenses paid. Corbin says these amount to. somewhere between $11, 000 and 612,000, but considering the hard times, he would only ask to be paid the very reasonable, sum of ?10, 000 for little less than Iwq years' per sonal expenses. Some of the Sena tors could not sec it in this light, but thc humane Republicans; . did ; and after two ill-timed , efforts to reduce thc amount were made and failed,' the Senate voted to donate D. T. Cor bin the moderatet sum of $10,000. Well, its a , happy riddance even at that price. H?rt. Jefferson Davis.' The United Stales Senate has been guilty of another ojf its little acts in attempting to degrade the President of thc late Confederacy by excluding him from the pension' list of the Mexican veterans. Not si soldier of that war perpaps did friere fo,r its success and ultimate results than Mr. Davis. Yet occupying the posi tion he does as the representative man of the late Confederacy, he would not have received a pension if voted to him, and the Senate knew this. As an act of spite this vote has no parallel, but as an net with a double meaning it is simply contemp tible ; one to degrade Mr. Davis and the other to Insult the South. Mri Davis' career is already a part of the history of this country, but as great as his fame may be, such acts to make him a martyr, will but increase i; and the love his people bear him. Death of Rev. Lucius Bellinger. "This veteran of the Cross preach ed his last sermon in the Methodist Church in Bamberg last Sunday week. Soon after service hi was taken sick and died at Gen. Bambcrg's Thurs day night. Mr. Bellinger belonged to an old and honored family in South Carolina, and has accomplish ed, no doubt, as n'lninistef, as much good as any other one man iii. tlje State.,.

There is sentcely a man, I woman or child who did not know the subject of this notice Tim Rev. Lucius Bel linger was a welcome guest in every household, and his memory to-day is as much loved by our peo ple as that of any minister who ever preached the gospel from our pulpits. This affection is not confined to I Methodist people only, but is equally entertained- by the ^membershipJof; every Christian church, and the out side work! as well* "And when thc great'day of reckoning shall covno and the servants, of,the Lord -dial! bo rewarded for thcfaithful discharge of dtil.y and the ?improvement of Intents' j given,. none iwilLuiwdarA aytisrigditer" crown than, that-.-<Which shall ndohi' j the brow of this Christian saint.

General Shields hailed the Palmetto:flag as the first ensign that waved on the. walls of Mexico. Scott, Taylor,'Lee, Beanregard and Johnston all fought to be kicked by Hoar and Chandler. Mr. Davis has asked no favors of - these blatant demagogues. 1 Ho would consider ii. a libel on' his record to be peered with these harlequins. He claims no ntlinity with their principles, and would /be as distinctly ?separate from them as n -'Theirs from a Marat. What-Mr. Davis did was for the best, and to his best. He- came forward at the call of his people, their chosen leaders, with their full sympathy, for weal or woe. To question his mo lives, is to ridicule the foresight of the South in choosing him as presi dent. To impugn his actions is to be base and ingrate. Mr. Dav'13 is to-day the landmark of the princi ples thnl w.cro engulfed in 18G5. He is tbe-snrvLvdr of what Leu and Jack son died for, and had he been called to the sword, rather than , the chair, his grave would have been laurelled asitlieirs with a sokliei's fame. He belongs-not to-the day Of Chandler and Hoar. Yet, unlike Marius, he does not ait moodily amid the ruins, hut by every gracious word urges his people to be loyal to tho powers that be.; Had Mr.! Davis: with truckling knee cringed as a few did, and kissed the hand that struck down his coun try, ho might have had a foreign mis sion as a sop of favor. Bu*. he was true. True lo the principles which Milton, quoted of the immortal par.lh - meat, when he said '* Resistance to tyrants is obedience lo Clod.*' Trim, he dared to do the right, a right which their Supreme Court shrunk frpiu disputing. Twice ho was before their for-tieason, and twice, they dis posed of the travesty by feigned mug naiiiinity. Let Messrs. Hoar and Chandler read Irving's Washington, and write him down a rebel. Jeff. Davis was just such an one. * It is said that between two and three hundred men and women of St. Louis drink daily from a half to a pint of blood, piping hot from the veins of slaughtered cattle. More blood-drinking by consumptives and aged persona is done in September and October than during the remain der of the year. The blood of young steers is the best, and should be caught as it comes from tho unimal andldrnnk while tho foam is still on and the slcain, rising. Consumptives are advised, it) [addition to drinking the.blood,.to a?,t in ft [slaughterhouse for a couple of .hours every (jay at killing ilino.to mliale the steam of the running blood. After searching in Iiis old clothes for any evidence of his guilt, Zaeh Chandler boldly announce that he is wuiing 'to Iia'v'o all Iiis telegrams printed. Ziicli is an amusing old ras cal. Jute.

The letter speaks for. itself. Much has been suid by our farmers about the I low pr'ieo of cotton. The question Co?ti?lially arises, can we make colt i"oh at 8 cents per pound? What can wo plant that will pay us better? These are important questions to be answered and each farmer will an swer them according to his own indi vidual stand point. 1* hold that we can make cotton at 8 cents per pound provided we do not make it 'tjju ex clusive crop. Mr. Leg'are as he Writes thinks,!Jutc will pay better than cot ton. "With our climate, soil and sea sons wo can produce nearly every thing we ne'-'d. for home consumption and the farmer, if lie is prudent and economical and not in debt, can live1 with biit littjV cash'outlay (hiring the year. Then let us diversify our crops, make everything we can toy' home consumption, let its use economy, never buy on credit if we can avoid it. Credit means paying from 20 to 00 percent above cash prices; it makes the farmer a slave t? his cred tor; it binds him hand and foot, and Wi 11^ if he continues it, eventually end in'his ruin. Pay as you go, should be the motto of every farmer.

Barton. Fokwl Motte; Feb. 22nd, 1870. Dr. W. F. Barton: Dear Sir:?I" see, in your last meeting of the Agricultural Society, a discussion in regard to planting Jute, ami as 1 tried it last year, will give you my experience with it, if it is of any uso to any of my fanner friends. I planted when putting in cotton from 10th of April to 1st of May, on ordinary cotton land. Thc seed seem to be very delicate, and 1 found it hard to get a stand?should be planted while thc land is damp, and covered lightly. At first the the plant* grow very slowly, not as fast ns the'cotton by it, and I do not think wc can plant broadcast on our' lands. Thc grass would destroy the young plants. I had to hoe and plough mine like thc cotton at first, but one or two ploughing^ ;and one hoeing would probably do. The plants by thc miditlc of September, grew 5 or G fect high and from 3-1 to 1 inch thick, (thc proper ?ize for fibre) and should then be cut while in bloom. Tho frost caught thorn be fore maturing the seed well,however, so I did not save any seed,, nor did I keep any of them as I left all I hail to, go to seed. llowever^if we would devote half the attention we do to cotton to an acre of Jute I am {satisfied it would pay twice, as much with less works for cotton at ? cents will not pay. its expunses on*.Ordinary land. I see it stated that you will have some seed to dispose of, if so I would like to get 1 or 2 pounds to plant again this spring more carefully. Yours very truly, Tuos. K. Lkuake. Floral Fair. ?? Editors Orangeburg Democrat: "Breathes there a nian whose soul Is so dead that never to himself has said," 1 am an admirer of flowers. If there be such a one and he a bach Ib.r, young or old, unmarried, then would I advise all ladies to avoid him. I see by the action of the Di rectors of the Agricultural and Me chanical Association that they are all lovers of flowers, and conserpie-'ntly they have decided to hold a Floral Fair some time in May next. 1 know also that our ladies of Ornngc burg county arc ladies of taste, and arc admirers of flowers, taking delight in their cultivation. 1 believe there Is nothing so elevating and refining to the mind as their culture. I have had the pleasure of attending two floral exhibitions held by the Orange burg Agricultural and Mechanical Association, at each of which I was really delighted'. These exhibitions excelled my most sanguine expecta tions. I have seen more and greater varieties, in large cities, but I never have seen liner or more beautiful flow ers than were exhibited in Oraiigc burg?. I think 1 can speak for our ladies in saying that they will res pond to- the action of the'gentlemen Directors, and will by their taste and etil lure excel in variety and beauty all former exhibitions.
