"_; The Liberty Bell of Phi?a3elphi? is ; V to be sent to New Orleans, and the pro? gramme for ks. trip has been carefully \ arranged. 'The bell itself is to go io a 1 ?pecial car? open at the sides; so that it r j can be seen along the route. In one. end of this car is a small compartment, ( W which will be occupied-by the three policemen who will go to protect it and remain by (t by turns night and day 1 until it is returned.

The trip will be by way of Louis- . i ville. This will, be the second time the ? bell has left Philadelphia. The other . .time was when^ in 1777. the British expected to occupy the city, and it was removed to Bethlehem, Pa., for safety.* The MidlaVl railroad which received its charter under most favorable aus pices, and started its new life with the biggest kind of a boom seems to have fallen upon evil times. Mr. Courtenay, j its god father, is accused of being in ! the interests of the Clydes, and **Grcen ville, which at first advocated the road with unanimity, is now standing off waiting for more light. She doesn't love the Clydes and would as soon see Beelzebub in control of their new line -> to Laurens as that corporation. And so the Midland is banging S re for the present, and in the meantime is put on her good behavior, and required to prove ?hat she belongs to Charleston and Charleston alone. r?*-*7:"- - . , Mr. George W. Cable is a native of Louisiana and a writer of some promi? nence. His books have brought him into some repute and he is now living ia the North, where Republican ibflu ence is fast making him forget the po? litical beliefs of his earlier years, and be is now figured as a first class turncoat. The Century, in a late number bas a significant article on 'The Brother in Black/ that is very naturally provok? ing unfriendly criticism in the South. Mr. Cable thinks4 that the negro, with equal chances, is the white man's equal in every possible respect. He pleads for the education of both colors in the same schools. Whether he knows bet? ter now, that he has become an. import? ed New Englander, we won't under? take to determine; it is quite certain that he did know better once. Schuyler Colfax is dead.

Rog? ers, but the appointments will.doubtless toon be made. In the meantime* those dready:in office will hold over til^beirj luccessors are appointed, and we- cem nend to . them and to the patrons and 'riends of the schools the following arli? ne of the Greenville JVe?o, referring to he appointments in that county : 'It is to be hoped that the School Trustees who are aonounce? to-day wiH di accept the office and begin now w^tfr be deter int nation to perform its thank-' ess duties, faithfully. The success of .he school system is virtually in the iands of the Trustees. Careful selec-1} ion of the: best of the material offered br teachers and effort to keep' public sentiment awake on the subject bf the schools will double tbeeapacity of ethe ;y$tem for good and be of incalculable jenefit to the-people. There;.*? hardly i 'district in the State in which three Earnest, activ?; intelligent Trustees can iot effect a tremendous improvement. 'it is hard to work for no thanks and io money, but every man who wishes :o do his country and his State service nust accept a certain amount of such abor, and the possible results*of 'th? abor in this case are worth trying very ?ard for. It is especially important at ;his time that the Trustees should do :beir rall duty, because the enemies of dbe common schools are more outspoken ind active than ever before. *Good work from''the Trustees will do much to decrease the existing clouds of ignorance to* elevate the p?opl?, and they wilt have, at the least; the satis? faction of approving consciences. ' rHE TEMPERANCE WOBKEB. The first copy of the New Series of ;his paper, which heretofore has been published in Columbia under the editorial management of Kev. A. Coke Smith, but which now is published in Sumter by Mr. N. Gr. Osteen and coated by Be v. B. F. Chreitzberg, is bet?re us. We [.hink its readers have reason to 'be pleased with its table of content:!.and its general make up. The present number contains'the valedictory Of the retiring editor, and the salutatory of the incom? ing ope. Mr. C. D. Stanly of Colum? bia who bas been the power behind the throne io publishing the paper there makes a statement tn which he says : The friends of temperance, and es? pecially those interested in the wel? fare of their official organ,, have rea sou to be congratulated that, in changing, The Worker passes into the bauds of those so capable and earnest. Having for its editor one intimate io the details, of the Lodge room, and enjoying the highest office iu the gift of the Good Templars of the State, The Worker will doubtless most effectually accommodate itself to the needs of temperance workers and keep abreast ol ?he temperance news and sentiments of the times. Such a paper will deserve, and doubtless receive, the support neces? sary to its permanence and efficiency. There should, however, be no uncer? tainty in the minds of those now in. charge of The Worker as to its ade? quate support. They should at once be encouraged by prompt responses to believe that their hands will be faithfully held up by those interested in. the cause. Let every one who feels any degree of interest in the paper, and has not yet subscribed, forward at once the subscription price. A little tardiness on your part, .brother, sister, may dampen the fresh ardor of those who have newly begun to furnish us- The WOT ker. Let the first impressions be agreeable ones, and the thousands who have been intending to subscribe now exe? cute their intentions. What shall be the future of The Workert All depends on the prompt? ness with which professed temperance men respond to their duty toward their organ. In surrendering the control of The Worker into other and better hands, this earnest appeal is made not mere? ly to evidence an interest still iu its prosperity, but because there is ab un t.. ? - fi_;_ .'

' The United States Senate iu'dulgec i. political wrangle .last week t showed how bitterly the, disgrunt Etepublioansfeel their defeat io the I ?lect.ipn". \ . .Nothing less than the- pr )ectii;e loss.of1 political power could spire the venomous.hate manifested Cngalls & Co. in discussing-the,quest )f veracity between s Gen. Sherman s a-Pr?sident Davis. Some time ago Sherman made ?peech .at an .army.reunion. in" wbi< imoog ; other things. said; to tickle i Republican palate and -soften the stir )f defeat wi?icb; were then hurting th so badly/ he asserted. that Jeffers Davis did not believe in the doc tri ue 3tate rights, and only nsed.it as .a co* ;o conceal'his real intention, which w< io subject the Confederacy^ to his ar! ;rary .w??t . *$d<- that' pr^^i?g^t throughout the-.war he was a; conspirai ig?inst both t?i?

Sherman may be good judge of bow best to raid a conn try defended by women and children and to buro houses over the heads o the weak and helpless, but when i comes to honesty or patriotism, he is ; failure. Tb.2 Greenville News, in writing oi tue same subject, says : 'History will point to Jefferson Davi? as the last representative bf liberty, ?ot to his principles and deeds as those of; superbly grand patriot. 'History wil tell of 'Sherman's inarch to the sea; bow failing to crush the men of arms he attacked their wives and children how he turned them in the cold, home less and hungry; how he burned- At lan ta and Columbia; how his pet ann} corps would 'make Carolina bowl;* how when supplicated as a mao, he la ugh ec as a demoo. History will tell of hu hand red with fratricidal gore. Th? tears of women and bones of homeless children wi il always be the trophies tc which he may point when Fame pre? sents its chaplet, while they who at? tempt to detract from Mr. Davis' record are fighting an unalterable verdict thal accords him the tallest niche in thc temple of fame. Like Caius Gracchus, he'was too far. above the herd. In his retirement and old age they seek to* in? sult and taunt; yet he will outlive the petty Sings of his assailants and adorn history when the name of Sherman will tarnish it with shame. AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT. The editorial copied "below from the Fainfield News and Herald is good reading - for newspaper delinquents. We hope they will all read and ponder deeply ; and then after concluding it, make a solemn pledge that they will never again be a delinquent, and straightway pay all claims. ' On the subject of paying newespaper men, the Asheville Citizen has some ! very sensible words. We can't help saying that we like straightforward talk in general, and we are especially pleased with it on this particular theme. The idea that an editor can live on chips and whetstones, is now very deep seated iu the popular mind, and it will of course be difficult to dislodge the same. But dislodged it mu?t be. Either this or the newspaper goes up the spout. No third possibility can bc imagined. How is this to be accom? plished then is a question which all loyal editors are required to consider at once A great deal of argument has been wasted, or it seems to have been wasted, and 'it is only left j?t t<fiaskf what next. Would itbe a?rvisable t?j adopt a rigid cash System, abd ?would-; the adoptioo of such a "s'ysteak leave any" shadow of a chance; fdr the -"liquida tioo: orWrears? We think these sugget tiona are pertinent, and should be allowed some voice in the matter. One ray of hope occurs to us-that is, a dun is not so much of an insult now as it was formerly. -. The Pair at New Orl?anais said ?to be io great financial straits. Bad weather and 'the" delay in opening at the proposed time are assigned as rea? sons for the. deficiency. And then there is a large, number of unexpected expen? ses.' It bas our best wishes for extri? cation from its dilemma, but unless the railroads evince a little more practical spirit of accommodation, and. reduce ratea lower than they now are, the number of visitors will be mach less than it otherwise would ibeV wka Mason ?t New Orleans. In a "rec?nt letter to the News and Courier, its New . Orleans correspon? dent, after .giving a description bf the Cotton Annex, and. naming all the old gin companies who have their machinery before the world at the grand Exposition, says of .THE .MASON' GIN CYLINDER.. > . This company has in position one of, the Mason cylinders in a Winship frame,- and will - shortly?'.have other cylinders on exhibition in other gin frames to demonstrate7 the fact that the cylinders can be' attached -with equal advantage.to any styles ?f-gin. - One of the;cylinders has been placed at the office ofiMessrs; -W A. Pollock.&? Co., in the Giiy of New Orleans, where it has attracted great attention. -Tho .uni-] versal verdict bf* those-who have ex? amined the cylinder is that i the: in? vention realizes tte- great watit^f1 the age,-and that ?t^w?H not - be Tot% 'before j the .use of saws andribsib-gibs ^will bea: thiug. of the -past: -"Mal ?Charles 'B^ Allen, ?be cultivator Of kb'e * celebrated Allen long cotton? of Warren County,^ Miraissrppi, after examining tbecylio-: der; ? s ard that ' be . regard eo^ip| as the - means of- -salvation of ib< crop. . lt has been foul says, :that it is just as raise the long staple uplanmi, and its outturn is quite as large - as the short staple, while it" commands-in the mar? ket all the way from 15 to 20 cents a pound*; The one difficulty in the: way of producing it for market has-been the impossibility beginning it bri a saw gin without so cutting the "fibre as to render it unmarketable, or at least reducing its value sO materially as to reuder it unprofitable. Mr. Allen has pl?eed with Messrs. Pollock & Co , 35 bags of his fine:c?tton in- the seed for the use of the Mason Cotton Gin Cylinder Com? pany, and it will be ginned and placed on exhibition as soon as-the power is supplied in the iron building for run? ning the'gins-: 'The interest wjueh has been manifested io the Mason Cylinder b as by u o m eau s- been con fi n ed to th e cotton growers' and cotton factors aud buyers. .. ' -i TTttAT TUB GIN-M?K?RS THINK. The cotton gin 'manufacturers them? selves are looking forward wi th consid? erable interest to the result of the trial of the cylinder in public, and several of the most promiueut of the manufactur? ers baye jn so many words declared that.if thc work, accomplished by the cylinder approaches;, any thing. like the result claimed for it by thc inventor, they will not hesitate, to adopt it in plac? of saws and ribs in their gins. Fortu? nately, for the company controlling the cyliuders, there is : no antagonism.be? tween it and the gin manufacturers. The Mason Company, at least for the present, proposes to manufacture only the cylinders and not complete gins. Each manufacturer of gins; therefore, will be able'to retain all the peculiar merits claimed for their style of giu and simply substitute the.cylinders for-the saws and ribs now used by.them. The saw and ribs are similar in. all styles of gins, so that the.manufacturers ..will be giving up nothing "for which they can claim auy superiority, in discarding them for the use of the Mason cylin? der. THE TOOL TO MAKE THE MASOX CY LI ND Ell. Messrs. Pratt & Whitney; the great special tool makers of Hartford, Conn., have been for several months past at work constructing a machine for auto? matically punching the teeth in the cylinder coverings. This machine, which bas cost considerable money, is now very nearly completed, and it is promised that by the 15th of this month it will be id operation and will have a capacity* for punching automatically, 4,000 teeth a minute. At this rate, a cylinder to fit a 50 saw gin frame could be puuehed in less than five minutes. The simplicity of the new process, its capacity for work, the excellence of the sample produced, the durabilty'of the cylinders,' the small amount of power required for running them, tho) cheapness of constraction;* and the per? fect freedom from :dang?r in the useiof the cyliuders all combine to make ,thc invention one of the most noteworthy of the age. When the gio is seen in operation and its wonderful work is demonstrated, t^ere is little room to doubt that it will prove the most at? tractive exhibit io the Cotton An? nex. Thomas Clyde, thc ship-owner, died in Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 12. Five prisoners escaped from the jail in Camdeu, Jan. 10. Kind words spoken by. the 'Briga? diers' about Grant were ir. shining cou trast to the malignant tirades agaiust Jefferson Davis on the part of Sherman and Ingalls. Dr. Levi George of San Francisco recently visited the Moqui tribe of In? dians, and found an old chief who bad reached thc age of 175 years. In one of the cabins a squaw was found who was 182 years old. The record of the age of these old people has been kept accordiog to the custom of the tribe by punching small round holes in a piece of smoothly polished horn at the end ol each twelve months. lu this Moqui village of sixty or seventy inhabitants, Dr. George counted fifreen persons whe were over 100 years old.

They forgot this wo amount, to that legal atrocity, an. Ex j facto law-I believe always branded as . constitutional. And then bow can we c sistehtly require of future applicants a sta altogether different from that.of those ,v are already members? lt is true that the bi may insert a clause in its constitution, ? under consideration-I mean this part of i keeping out nil who are not solely engaj in agricultural pursuits, but it cannot re; those who are already members except by mode prescribed by the constitution as ready, adopted-and is it likeiy' a two-thi majority can be reached for such a purpo; We very much doubt it.. Th* original cia making only these eligible to office .who personally, engaged .'in farming, is the m "feasible way of meeting this difficultyin c< nection with the membership as it now exh leaving at the sanie rtime to the Execut Committee to decide upou; the qualificatit of future applicants for membership; th action to be confirmed by the body as the cc stitotion provides. '* It is a very nice thing drawiog the line this matter, and we do think, that wt none.bot those who are zealously engaged agricultural pursuits^ should be members this organization,;^ keep out all who are i .gaged in any other pursuit, would be a lit hard, and would deprive the bodv of so -excellent material. PROGRESS; [From our Regular Correspondent.] WASHINGTON LETTJ3R. WASHINGTON, D. C., JAN. 17, 1885. ' ' A desperate effort was made ibis week Senator Hawley and a few other Blaine sy pathizers to revive the Southern" quarrel the basis of the unpleasantness that has e Tsied between Jefferson Davisv-Esq., and Ge eral Sherman. Since the war, General Sh< man has. been distinguished chiefly for gt ru li ty, osculation, waltzing and as 'a * balli ^girl.fancier. During the war, unlike Xen pHen'8.' anabasis, his was a -katabasis mHrch'from the mountains over the ferti rw.ell-watered, unobstructed fields of Georg tolbe sea.. ? ' \' ' -.During the first day of the debate the was ?'rospe|3f ^richness and .rows. Hai ^y^lfst^tfgallsy ?amar and Senator Sh? rjfcHWtenaged in a wordy war that for the fii ^a^this cession filled the Senate gallen? ?But on the second day the Democratic Se 'at^rs'with admirable good .sense refused enter'into a sectional debate, aud voted ? most unanimously with tue Republican ?.This was a great disappointment to Rep uh can Senators wno bad been to see Mr. Blain : and had been supplied from tbat,magazine .statistics and venom with the sinews of gre speeches with,, which to''ure the Northei heart. . .. There was quite a cootrast presen ted inti political animus of the Senate on two-su cessiv? days of this week. On the first df the Republican "Senators were- rampant : their abuse of a feeble, broken, disfranchis? old man who was once President of tl Southern Confederacy. On the second di the Democratic "'Senatorsvoted an annuity ? General Grant, the bankrupt beneficiary more public aud private honors than ac American citizen ever before received. There is a good deal of tiiik to-day in tl House about the Edmunds-Grant bill whic passed the Senate. General Rosecrans, chai man of the House Military Committee, against the. bill. General Slocum is ali against it. He is in favor of the hill whit passed the Senate last February, and whir mentions General Grant's hame. The Et munda bill, which went through the. Sena yesterday, does not. mention General Gran but it is, of course, meant for his benefi General Slocum thinks that the Ed mu nc bill would be in direct opposition to tl President's position in the Filz John Port? case, lt is not likely, however, that he wi 'find much fo ll owl n sr. ' General Slocum saj thmto pass the Edmunds bill wonld be 1 indorse Ferdinand Ward and his action; There has undoubtedly been a change of set tirnent. in regard to General Grant. It, ; very probable that the ?dmnnds bill throug that- sentiment-despite the opposition c General Slocum and" others-will become law. The River and Harbor bill will be reporte to the House to-day'or to-morrow. It wi! appropriatcaboot SiO7500,'O00. Tbe Missii sippi : RiFer will get for reservoirs 535,000 for removing snags, $50,000 ; between Si Panfand Des Moines, $200,000 ; between De Moines Rapids and the mouth of the Illiuoi River, $200,000: from the mouth of the lili nois to Cairo, $400,000; from Cairo to it mouth, $2,800,000. The Hennepin Cana matter was considered yesterday afternoon A commission is to be provided to examin the work being done by private companies also, another to report upon the submerge? jetty system now in use in several of the bar bois of the South. A portrait of Rutherford B. Hayes, Esq. has been received at the White House, to bi j put up inline with the portraits-of legally .elected Presidents-good, bad and indifferent but nobe fraudulent-from Washington down This portrait of Mr. Hayes will doubtless se cure a temporary banging, but ?that of Mr .Tilden should be placed in its stead, or, a leas?, the portrait of Mr. Hayes should bo re moved forever, leaving a hiatus on the wall Let it be stamped on the forehead with th< word " Fraud" and preseuted to Judgi "a-liundc" Bradley or John Sherman. Mr. Randall, Chairman of the Committei on Appropriations, has made the importan! statement that, Unless the committee shall bc given the floor from now on continuously whenever an appropriation bill shall bc ready, un extra session will be inevitable, and he did not regard an extra session as de? sirable either for Congress or the Democratic party. Mr. Randall was not given the floor for the appropriation bill that waa ready. Ht was voted down by a combination of those who desired to bring up the Public Building bills, and this combination was in its turn .presented from getting the floor. Sc J The Sham and the Real. \ Every good thing has its host of imitators; even- genuine article its counterfeits. Bad manners and wicked habits have theirs also ; but he who shams the bad never boasts of it. while they who ape the virtues of the good or simulate"the genuine never hesitate, to place the counterfeit before the public in their most alluring tones. When these people imitate they always choose a pronounced type or popular subject to copy from ; and when they claim to be as good as 4 ;So-aud-So, " or to sell an article equal to "So-aod-So," the public may depend upon it that Mr. "So-and so"' and his article are alwas the best of the kind. Thus the sham is always proving the genuine merit of the thing it copies. A firm of enterprising gentlemen produce and popularize an article of household use, such as the Royal Baking Powder, whose convenience, usefulness, and real merit make for itself an immense and universal sale. A hundred imitators arise on every hand, and ns they hold out their sham articles to the public, yelp in chorus, "Buy this; it's just HS good ns Royal, and much cheaper!" The Royal Baking Powder is the standard the world over, and its imitators in their cry i that theirs is "as good as Royal" are till the time emphasizing this fact. In their laborious attempts to show bj analysis and otherwise that the ".Snowball" brand- bas as much : raising power "HS the Royal"; or that the , "Resurrection" powder is as wholesome "as Royal'"; or that the "Earthquake" brand is ! "as pure RS the Royal," ."s weil ns hy their ; contortive twistings of chemical certificates ? and labored efforts to obtain recognition from , the Government chemists and prominent ': scientists who have certified the superiority j of Royal over all others, they all admit the i "Royal" to be the acme of perfection, which it is their highest ambition to imitate. But ( the difference between the real and these imi? tations, which copy only its general appear? ance, is ns wide as that between the paste and and the true diamond. The shams all pay "homage to the "Royal !" The removal of Prof. Sanborn, of X. H., i j after being pronounced incurable by a score _ I of physicians, from Las Vecas, .2f\ ?M.. to his j. homft. was .'fleeted by administering Dr. Har * ter's iron Tonic, which has restored him to his former good health.
