have been distributed over the State,
excepting the small number retained
for breeding purposes in the ponds here.
These are all in fine condition and will
spawn in June, and from this batching
the fish will be ready for distribution in
.October, when Colonel Butler, hopes to
be able to fully supply the demaud fer
them.
Gen- Rosecrans pronounces a reoently
published letter from the late President
Garfield, written when a member of the
general's staff, to be a 'mixture of un?
truths and misrepresentations.' In the
letter Garfield complained to Governor
Ch asa that Rosecrans was too slow in
moving his army. General Rosecrans
points out that the letter was written
after bis advance was begun, and while
the army was 'working with vigor tc
follow up tbs advantage.' General
Rosecrans adds with a good deal ol
feeling : 'I had no idea at the time that
I was harboring a person capable ol
such falseness and double dealing or
there would have been a court-martial
at once.' It is evident that either Gen?
eral Garfield never wrote the letter, or.
if he did, that his private character was
very different from what his eulogists
make it appear. In any event, the
publication of the letter at this time io
the New York Sun, an avowed Conk
ling-Arthur organ, is ia the worst taste
possible.
The Camden Journal of the 9th gives
the following accouot of a shooting
scrape : We learn that three shot?
were exchanged between Mr. lt. G.
Ellerbe and Mr. W. II. Ellis on last
Monday afternoon while they were
driviug along the road just below Cam?
den. From what we can learn, it
appears that Mr. K1?3 had bought a
mule from his brother and was then
on his way down '.he country io get it.
Mr. Ellerbe and himself, who were not
on good terms, had passed e? jh other
several times during the day, bot no
words were spoken between them. In
driving down the road Mr. Ellerbe" s
buggy was ahead of Mr. Ellis' team,
and when about two miles below Cam?
den Mr. Ellerbe stopped his horse, got
out and went to the .head of the ani?
mal ; from there he deliberately took
oat his pistol and fired at Mr. Ellis who
was coming down the road behind him.
Mr. Ellis picked up his rifle, which he
is accustomed to take with him when
he goes in the country, and fired two
shots at Mr. Ellerbe while he was run
oiug through the woods. No one was
hurt.
The Political Prosecutions.
A special dispatch from "J. C. H." of the
Xeicsand Courier staff, to the Sunday Xeu-s,
dated Sumter, .March ll. says : The political
prosecutions are beginning to assume some
definite shape, and the purpose o?' the repre?
sentatives of the Federal Government is slow?
ly unfolding itself. As already indicated,
District Attorney Melton will select for trial
at the April term of the United States Court
in Charleston sncb cases as seem to involve
more open and flagrant violations of the law
than the mass of prosecutions which have
been instituted, and with the view of getting
at the bottom facts, his assistants have beta
at work for several weeks in different parts of
the State, examining witnesses, rending the
records and sifting out the cases that seem
best calculated to insure conviction.
The first arrests tbarshare been made since
j this work began were effected in this county
I1 yesterday. S. R. Fraser and Dr. Henry
Stuckey, managers at Carter's Crossing, pre?
cinct, and T. P. Sanders and P. A. James,
managers at the Raf ton Creek poll, were ar?
rested on warrants issued by United States
j Commissioner Frederick F. Teicher upon nffi
j davits made by two colored men, charging
them with conspiracy and neglecting and ic
' fusiog to perform their duties as election offi
j cers. under Section 5.515 Revised Statutes of
j the United States. Col. J. H. Earle appeared
i as counsel for Mr. Fraser, and Mr. Dallas
j Saunders, of Philadelphia, appeared for the
j Government. The parties waiving examina
I tioo entered into bail in ?500 each for?ppear
; suce at the Auril term of the United States
! Court.
M. M. Player, tbs remaining manager at
Carter's Crossing, was sick with typhoid
fever, and on this account was not arrested,
Mr. Bruoson the remaining manager at Raftou
Creek, has moved to Darlington County, and
a warrant for bis arrest has been sent to Dar?
lington to be serve*. It is presumed that
these arrests are intended to tighten the chains
around the county board of canvassers of
Sumter County, who have already been ar?
rested.
Synopsis of Gen. E. "WV Moise's
Remarks on Last Saieday.
Gee. Moise said-that this was a very un?
expected call upon him., and one which he was
loth to respond to. Wheo the public mind
was not agitated, there was nothing which
fell more Hat than a political speech. Yet as
he was here, he would speak plainly and can?
didly. It had come to his ears that be was j
reported to be a candidate for something. He j
wished it understood that be was not. Be i
wanted no office and sought no position, above j
that of the private citizen. Xor did he believe j
in any independent movement. Now and j
always he had been a Democrat; his father
lived and died a member of that party, aud he
saw no reason to change his principles. Yet I
if he were to see a better party he would not j
hesitate to join it, if it would confer a better j
government than we now have-at present he j
did not see any such, a*nd he therefore advo- |
cated a reform of abuses within the Democratic j
party lines.
"lu 1876 the Democrats, aided by roany Re?
publicans, made the change in Government in
this State, whereby the Democrats went into !
power. It was a revolution. When that j
campaign commenced, be hid not join it. Jt !
was known that bs was a conservative, and j
be did not know the plan of campaign which j
was to be inaugurated by Gen. Hampton, but |
when he read his opening address at Green- j
ville, beat once hastened to meet him, and i
worked through that campaign with heart J
and soul. Many good men of the Republican j
party joined the movement, because P.ll saw i
that it was time there was a charge In j
Sumter we polled over six hundred colored j
rotes, and in every county valuable aid was :
rendered by those who had been previously I
opposed to the Democratic party.
ID order to obtain such assistance solemn j
pledges were made by the Democratic leaders, j
How have those pledges been kept? Will any j
Democrat here present say that it would be I
possible for us to do this fall, what we did in j
1S76? If not, why not? Thescare is over. It j
was said that .if Democrats went into power ?
. the negroes would be put back into slavery ;
that their women could not wear bonnets and j
veils. Yet none have lost their fiefdom, and ?
the women dress as well as ever. Then why ?
is it that we could not vote sis roany colored j
votes this fall a? we did in 1376? It is because j
Democratic leaders have not been as wise as j
they should have been.
The tissue ballots of 1878 lost us the Pre i- j
dential election in 1880. I believe if there j
had been no tissue tickets in 1878, "Hancock j
would have been elected. These tickets fur- j
i nished caropaigu orators North and West ;
? with material wherewith to excite the people. !
j He wished it understood that be never saw j
I a tissue baliot until after the election of 1S78- |
j never voted one and never will.
j There is no doubt but that the State Gov- ;
j ernment is entirely honest, and as economical j
j as they know how to be; but we waut more |
i experience ia the Legislature-you need Law- !
? vers there. There is prejudice in the country
against sending Lawyers to the Legislature,
yet they are the most valuable men you cati
have there. If you wanted an axe made
would you go to a bricklayer to make iL?
Lawyers know the practical working of the
laws and bow they should be made. The
speaker did not wish it supposed that be was
speaking for himself. He did not want to go
to the Legislature : would not have the time
to spend six weeks there, and would not go
if elected; but would like to see more lawyers
there, and men of more experience in govern?
ment.
It-is said "that the new eight-box law is a
cause of complaiut, and that a new party
must be formed to defeat it. But this is not
practical, because the law has been passed ; it
is law now, and the next election mon be
under it. The only remedy for those opposed
I to that measure, is to see that it is fairly exe?
cuted".
The great trouble amongst us is that we
mutually fear each other-and that without
any just cause. The Democrat predicts that
if the Republicans come into power, ruin will
overtake the State. TheRepublican fears that
the Democrats will assail his rights. There
is little foundation for either of these alarm?.
Before an .election the same cry is heard all
over the United States; but when the ejection
is over, the opposing parties shake bauds ann
- the country goes on prospering and to
prosper.
What we need is a division of the people on
somethiug else than the color line. Theooior
1 ed race, although numerically superior, is yet
' j inferior for want of knowledge, which* is
j power; end notwithstanding that the white
( j race is numerically inferior, the knowledge
j which they possess renders them superior in
: j power. It is madness to suppose that they
; ? will ever give up the State to negro rule.
, 1 What thc colored race needs now is to divide.
I j If you v.'istj to have any share in the power
. j of the State, you must divide. There should
be two parties-the ins and thc outs-each
; fearing and watching the other, as it is in
f England. Whenever the ins fail to receive
the support of the popular branch of the Gov?
ernment, they go out, . "i'd the outs come in.
' j It will be well for South Carolina when thc
. I people are so divided that the honor and fair
j name of the State should be safe in the bauds
I of either party-the ins or the outs.
If the colort-d race desire to have influence
I in elections, let them choose the very best men
? iu the State as their standard-bearers; let thc
issues be on other thau race lines; let them
ask no pledges or promises, nor care what thc
politics of the candidate be so that the mau is
worthy and honest ; let them strike high.,
asking only that the man who receives their
votes may be true; that he may sre that their
rights arc respected, wherever those rights
exist under the law. Then, if not now. at
some future and not far distant day. :hc very
best men in the State will accept their support,
and protect them in their rights. We want
j peace and a general softening down of asperi?
ties on both sides. The devi! isnevn-; ...luck
j as he is painted. You have seen that we art
notas bad as you thought we would be. ?ind
the course of the National Government to?
wards South Condina has done much to tone
down the feelings of the people. .Mr. Garfield
appointed the best Republicans to Office-" ;r?
ton, Taft, and Blythe-and now Arthur iia>
promoted Johnston. You could not expect a
Republican Administration to annr-'n* Dcroo
crats, and as we were to have Republicans
! was it not best to name those who had an
j interest and n stake in the prosperity of South
Carolina? Senators Hampton and Butler
: did well in voting to confirm T. B. Johnston.
Ile has lived in Sumter County since 1805-17
! years, and in .?tl these years 1 never knew him
? to do any act inconsistent with the character
j of an honest man. His proper1, is in thc
j State. If taxes are high, he m ist pay his
! share. His acquaintances and friends are
here. How much better to have such a man
than one who has no interest at all iu tile true
welfare of ?lie State or of its people.
Wc mest learn to meet a man and shako
Hands with him without thinking what his
politics m?y be. Our divisions must be on
questions of puMic policy, and the colored
votes must be on both sides. As long as all
are on one side, they cannot succeed. You
Republicans cannot expect thnt the Demo?
cratic party will he perfect. Ail mortal par
??es must have faults, and the only way to
remedy such, will bc to divide your people
aud mingle them between thc two p:irties. As
long as you are in a solid mass, you can gain
; no power: 1 am aware that many good Dem?
ocrats dilTi-r with me. Probably they are
right and I am wrong : btu 1 am nut here to
express their opinions, but my own-free dis?
cussion injures no rood cause.
Th? plea thai the Democrats are to blame
for your want of knowledge, is not a fair one.
Your leaders have said that education was
denied yon a? slaves, and therefore that the
white people arc responsive for your igno
rence. Thc argument is not sound or true.
Your condition before emancipation was not
the act of this people or of this generation.
The sume God ruled the world then as now
your stains was not fixed by man, and you
I must make th? best it. You cannot hope to
i compete with the white race in the next thir?
ty years. As this impossible, what areyou
to do? Try to educate your children and be
saviug and* thrifty. As long as you must
buy your daily bread on credit yon will be
dependent, but when you own the roof over
your head, and have the cash to pay for your
supplies, you will besought for by the white
man. Your political rights will be safe when ?
your educational status is complete. You j
have seen that a Democrat can see the errors .
of Democrats, and the candid admission of a j
fault is half way towards curing it. "We j
must all learn to live on better terms with j
each other. We ain't half as bad as you '
thought us, and we can see good points in j
you. I don't believe that anybody wants to j
bring back the corrupt government of ;68 to j
'76. If all the white people would stay away ?
from the polls and let Tue colored people voto, j
I sincerely believe that they would try to i
have a good government in the State. The j
fact is that there is too much fuss made over j
politics. The causes don't justify it. It is ?
"too big a boo for a colt." And I will tell j
you an anecdote as illustrative of my mean- i
ing, and close : ?
A farmer had a colt to sell. He found a J
purchaser, and to satisfy him how gentle the ,
colt was. he told his sons to stand behind a j
tree and when he rode the colt past, they ;
must jump out and halloo "Boo." The boys ?
did not want that colt sold-it was their pet. j
So when the burly farmer came galloping j
past the tree, they jumped out aud made a
rush towards the colt crying '''Doo! Boo!" j
at the top of their voices-the colt shied and ?
threw the old man, who got up, and wild j
with rage fl nd pain, spoke to the boys as fol- j
lows ; "Yon fools, did you not know that
that was too big a boo for a colt?" Now my j
friends, of all parties, T say to yon that all |
this fuss you are making about each other is j
"too big a boo for a colt."
There is really nothing serious the matter.
The great campaign of JS76 succeeded, be?
cause of the big. pulsating human heart,
which controlled it. You can't do without j
the heart, it is as necessary io the statesman ?
as the head. All true wisdom emanates there- j
from. Then give your hearts full sway; and ?
remember, men of nil parties, that good gov- ;
ernment is the best interest of all citizens. I
A common destiny unites all the people of the !
State, and I plead with you all for reconcilia
tion and for peace. If I can aid in bringing j
about a better feeling between the parties, 1:
will be content. He is your foe who keeps j
you apart.

The Ealeday in March Meeting.
SUMTER COUNTY, S. C , March 7. !
Editors Watchman and Southron : j
We were among those, who, though i
haviDg a plenty to do at home, were ;
forced by business to visit vour town on !
yesterday. We did not go for the pur- j
pose of hearing the talented and honor- |
ed Chestnut's address, which we sup- j
pose was never promised, nor did we go j
to see a menagerie. We were inform- j
ed soon after reaching town that Gen. \
Chesnut would not bc there ; and j
although we saw some, and heard that ;
other weary office seekers, malcontents, j
and mischief makers were in town, we j
thought there Would be no show, until !
about 1 o'clock, when a fife and drum j
4'struck up" about thc Court House, j
and we concluded there might be at j
least, a monkey and an organ to be seen ?
in town. Having always had a passion i
for seeing monkeys and their antics, j
and always feeling charitable towards j
poor organ grinders, wc droped our
business and bolted for the scene.
Upon arriving at the Court House, we
were not altogether disappointed, for
we found a few citizens comprising all
classes, colors, and conditions assem?
bled, and the reputed independent Con?
gressional candidate, of the wculd-he,
Greenback Fonce, Poor Cows and
Hogs, Dear "Peoples Eights" Office
Seeking Sorehead, Devil-take-the-nanie
Party of Purity and Virtue, arose in all
of his fearlessness and dignity, and per?
fumed, and the performance was a
huge success, and very edifying and
gratifying to the audience, as was evi?
denced by occasional feeble cheering of
two or three charitable colored brothers,
whose physiognomies and feeble voices
betrayed short rations, and a wa ut of
knowledge and appreciation of tho sub?
ject aud situruion.
It was very noticeable that the per?
former did net step on the Fence Plank
of the Man-Redeeming Party platform.
'Guess he thought it was getting doaty
and unsafe. Surely Guiteau1 s success
! ful attempt at notoriety has excite'] the
j ambition of others, and inspired them
i to save the nation, (by means however,
j less risky to their necks.) After the
: performance. Gen. Moise was as loudly
j and persistently called foras a few hun
I gry stomachs would permit ; and we
j confess our surprise at his yielding at
j last and mounting, not the New Plat
j form, but the Court House steps. We
j did not think Gen.. Moise's good sense
j would permit him to either countenance
, a farce so much, or to lend his aid in
j agitating and confusing the minds of
; tho more ignorant and ever suspicious
j classes of the people. Questions more
j vital and important than politics arc in
j order to discuss at this time. Gen.
j Moise did well in his introductory io
: presenting the first (would be) speaker
j and his success, to himself, as others
i saw, and while lie made ti Democratic
S speech and said some good things which
! were endorsed by the intelligent Demo
j crats present, he said some tilings that
I sounded like very cranky Democracy to
thc cars of sonic, and, as it appeared
' very pleasing to thc Republicans pre?
sent. He expressed a willingness to
dash his brains ont against lue stone
steps upon which he stood, for the as?
surance that genuine Democracy could
and would be kept iu order and .power
in th" future. "But few possess as
strong democracy, or as unselfish patri?
otism as that sentiment expressed.
Agni: he seems to enjoy unbounded
confidence and faith in the colored
voters, as he expressed his belief that
ii" not a while voter sho:,!d ?o to the
polls at llie next election, the bf t v. en
would be elected and put in ellice by
the colored v-ters. He thinks if no
crooked means, such as tissue ballots
(one of which he never saw nor handled
until after the election) had been inaug?
urated hy the Democratic party, good
men would have been elected and ?ill
wouid have been well He ?.oes not
approve of the late Election Law. and
thinks that one square Glass ]>ox is
preferable to many boxes (not glass,)
and that it was his opinion that good
i men would bc selected auy way, and it
! mattered not what a man's political
j complexion or affinities were if he was a
?goodman, &c This sentiment doos
i uot. pound FO Democratic. Thc General
! seems very kindly disposed town.rd thc
j present Democratic administration. Ile
; says it has been economical, but. could
! have been more so, hut ho is chantalle
' enough to attribute its short comings to
? inability, weakness. Ile seems to think
j thc Legislature particulaly weak, nnd
j thinks that men of more ability at,J
j men of parity who wiii keep their
j pledges (which the Democrats have not
; done) should run the government., if not
. thc Democratic party, whether they be
I Democrats, Republicans, or anything
, else. In this he may be correct, for he
i seems to know. All good and true
I conservative Democrats eau but join
j him in the desire to wish ability and
: purity in high places of trust and honor,
and eau hut bc willing to aid in select?
ing thc ablest and best men. (if we can
trust even- such ns they) and compelling
them to serve their country and peonle,
even against their honest and earnest
protestations. We trust that some of
those who are making manly and unsel?
fish efforts to correct thc errors and
evils already committed in and by: the
Democratic party, and particularly by
the present administration, (two only
of which, have we heard mentioned,
viz: the Stock Law and the Election
Law,) and who are playing Hercules
(or another big fellow) to check and
ward off other threatened and imtnineut
evils of Democratic rule, and thereby
save the dear people's liberties and the
State, may be successful. Press of j
business prevented os from hearing
Gen. Moise through but we trust he
pointer! out and demonstrated in full,
the corrections aud arrangements, neces?
sary to iusure the proper and perpetual
working of the Democratic Party ; and
that he still survives to aid, and enjoy
the grand success of Democratic ascen?
dency and rule throughout our whole
country to which we believe it ic des?
tined. If by any misunderstanding on
our part, we have made any mistakes
in our comment we ask pardon.
A LOOKER ON.
WANTED-A PENSHUN.
BY YE FOOL.
To the Onorable House of Unitf:d
States Representatives, Gentlemen :
News haz cum to us from all paris of
the world that yu are in the umor of
granting penshuus. I hope its tra. Ef
it is, I've made my jack. (I dont know
whether yu onorable gentlemen will un?
derstand the above phruze It is used
iu card-playing.) I r?p?te, I hav made
my jack. Goin' on these ten years I've
bin wanting to quit work, but I never
new bow to make a livin' without it till
now. I'm goin' to git a penshun. I
here yu hav granted a penshun to the
widder Lincoln and to the Widder Gar?
field. I shan't object. I've bin married
too long to venture to say ennything
agin the wirnmen. Let them hav the
p-;ushuns. They'll want fresh kalikers
in the spring, and I guess ?5.000 a
year will go sum towards payiu' for 'em.
But they tell me yu've peushuned
Grant. I never had a hope of a penshun
from yu till I herd this. Rite off I
said to my wife, Pm a goin' to get a
penshun for me and yu, and cf this
suckceeds, I'll git one for cur yaller
dog Towzer.
Now, I aiu*t no lawyer. Efl waz, ?
could proove ecuything I wanted to.
But I uni wiitin- to set myself along
side of Yewlessc? Grant,- and I ain't
afrade of tho result of compeering us.
Gentlemen, do yu no who Grant waz ?
aud cf yu know that, do yu no who he iz?
Pvc set myself down to tell yu. Grant-I
mean Ye wi esses, ole man Grant's son
first cum into epeshe! notice in the war
agin' the South. I ain't seekin' to win
a name by wari in' agin nobody. The only
I good thing I ever herd of bini waz in
j his boyhood ho waz named Hiram, after
i the good ole king of Tire that helped
j king Solomon to bild the temple. Uve
; reu a heep of his savins, aud I never
\ cought him in but one truth, and that
: waz when he sed bc was suekeessful
j in the late war because he hud suteh
j good men under him. This v>nz a trew
j bill accordin to thc cvulensc The only
real merciful thing on record agin him
! is that, he sczs he planned Sherman's
; march threw the South and arrjDged to
; have us burned out. Pd luv to put a
j little crown on his luvly brow for this,
i Ef I had arranged that plan, I'd be
! awful proud, barrin' the times when the
! helpless cry of the Southern wimmiu
? and children riz in my ears at night.
S And sum of Ycwlesses' friends say the
? only big thing he ever commited was
? when he let Lee, with 30.0?O, whip
j out hiz hundred and forty thousand at
! the Wild uv.**? Well, that was a big
; rbir?r. ivs :i little refreshiu' for an

; Reports from all sections of North and South Caroliua, Geor- I
! da and Alabama sustain our claim that the fl
Pl? (ll & m M?iBIM?B COKO J
j is the BEST AND MOST RELIABLE AND CHEAPEST I
j Fertilizer in use, and that the 9
j Wilcox, Gibbs & Co.'s Superphosphate, I
j which we put out for thc iirst time last Season, has proved unex- fl
j celled by any Acid Phosphate on the Market. fl
It is not necessary for us to say anything- about these Fertilizers, as the ?
j reports which may bo obtained from our agents or ourselves, cover the I
: whole subject, and will amply repay perusal. M
We will have a moderate supply of each, wl?cu can be obtained fronj oui* V
j Agents, payable in Cotton next Fall. If there is no Agent at your Railroad J
j Depot. e:ct vour merchant to order it. fl
