Not the slightest prevision taos made by thc Penitentiary officials for theil expenses on their return trip. There were?? pots, no pans, no meat, nor bread nor anything. The party leit the railroad camp about noon Monday, and the oui j meal the convicts got was breakfast at Darlington, absolutely nothing else, except what fei! to them tbrough the charity of the people along the way, and the gentleman who ac? companied them as far as Sumter. Anyone wno doubts the correctness of the above statements should have seen what the writer saw st the Sumter depot yesterday : There was the unmis? takeable and general look of squalor, misery and wretchedness pervading the tbs whole gronp and the lack of bnmanity, and attention, were but too plainly visible. It was a sight to ase the words of our dictator at which "The mind, revolts and the imagination sick? ens." We have time and again seen the convicts at work on the canal in Colnmbia sometimes as often as two or three times a n'ootb. We know what their general condition was then. We never caw any of them any whore look like those did who passed through Sumter yester? day. The Superintendent Lecturer, ?s we took occasion to remark before had better stop gallivanting about the State, and atteod to the business of the Penitentiary.

Terrell is a etrong mao oo bis feet J and speaks io an earnest and persuasive maooer. His views io respect to ''affairs'* are for the most part souod and sensible, hut he is decidedly off on the sob-treasury. However plausible it may sound when discussed by him, it is altogether visionary-a politician's phantasy, or what is more likely tba concocted scheme of some unscrupulous men to ride ?oto office. Facts are stubborn : It is a fact that the United States, to-day, are paying 4 per cent, interest on their bonds, which are perhaps the safest securities in the world. It is a fact also that the mooey market is stringent and promises to be so for some time to come. It is a fact that people want money badly and pay from 10 to 12 per cent, interest to get it. We think it hardly probable noder any system of management, to arrange it so that farmers conld borrow money at even 4 per eent. interest on the class of security contemplated by the sub treasury scheme, bot to say that the United States, while paying 4 per cent, interest to creditors on their bonds (the safest :n the world) will at the same time lend the money of the government to people, on farm supplies, and perish? able property at 2 per cent., is some? thing too ridiculously absurd to talk about, much less to waste the time in writing about, Next week we hope to publish an article on the subject from the Philadelphia Record, which we hope those of our readers who have been dazzled or dazed by Mr. Terrell, will take the trouble to read and ponder carefully. We want cheap money as badly as anybody, bot have not allowed our hopes to be aroused by any soch wild cat schemes as the sub-treasury bill. A POOB RULE THAT DON'T WORK BOTH WAYS. A correspondent from Pickens S. C., witing the State in reference to the Alexander affair says: "If it is right to turn Dr. Alexander out of the college >o account of his religions belief, oo the tame principle is would be right to toro jrov. Tillman out of office for having no eligiocs faith. It is not creditable to he people of South Carolina to elect a nan Governor of the people that does lot profess Christianity. HE WILL SEE.

The following article appeared in the idttorial columns of the New York Herald of May 30th, ander the above aption. We feel that our space could tot be better employed than in publish ng for the entertainment of our readers ten timen ts so beautiful and so happily expressed : "Wi?h May's wealth of Sowers the -estiog places of those who are remem? bered will be covered and the strife ?hieb caused it al! bc more completely ridden.

There are Duried the hopes, the ambitions, the passions of thc men who fought against their brethren in behalf of their breth? ren.

ABE FARMERS OPPKESSED. Lawyer Bob Ingersoll Says They Have a Grievance. Col. Ingersoll greatly sympathizes with the agriculturists as will be seeu by the following remarks : **[ do not blame the farmers for trying to better their condition. They have certainly had a hard time and they feel that they have been oppressed by the bankers, railroads, merchants, and patent medicine makers, to say ootbiog of ministers and lawyers. Everything seems to be against them. They have to fight frosts and floods and drougths and all sorts of worms and bogs and speculators and cyclones, and all the birds of the air. Everybody and every? thing takes toll from the farmers. No wonder that they want to do something. I do not think the planks in the Cincin? nati platform can be fastened together and held in place. The farmers ought to know that the resolutions passed by political conventions raise neither corn nor wheat, neither can they affect prices. I do not believe that the Gov? ernment can make money by law any more than it can make good crops by law. The Government can't support the people. The people have got to support the Government. The Government is a perpetual pauper. I ask this one question -if the Government can make money why should it collect taxes? Why not make what it needs and stop bothering the people ? Still, I am glad the farmers are discussing these questions. They wilt find out what the Government can and can not do."-St. Paul, Special. Conscientious farming, plentiful crops and a good market would yield to the farmer all the money he could reasonably expect, provided be should Dot bc obliged to accept short measures af money for full measures of grain. Here is where the interests of the hon? est farmers and greedy mining sharks may possibly clash, If the government mould stamp "One Dollar" on every reventy-five cents worth of silver that he miners produce, and make this mort measure of money a legal tender o payment for bushels of grain, it should also, in justice to the farmer, make three pecks of grain a legal )usbel.

Affairs at Stateburg. STATEEUBG, S. C., May 30.-The King's Daughters gave an entertainment on Wednes? day evening at "Tl;e Ruins," the residence of Mrs James Pinckcey. The attendance was small on account of rain, so it was repeated on Thursday evening, but the weather again prevented a full attendance. However, quite a sum was made hy the sale of their delight? ful ice cream and cakes. Prof. Cbarvon, the ex-cannibal, seems to have taken a fancy to this part of this country. He has been staying for some time alternately at Wedgefield and Stateburg,and has delivered several lectures to the colored people, which have been attended by a few whites. He came here the other day from Camden. I bad the pleasure of hearing Col. Terrell, the Alliance lecturer, in. Sumter, and he impressed me and others as being an earnest man, honestly striving for the good of the farmers at noone else's expense, and invites a free discussion of the sub-treasury scheme, which he presents in a much more attractive light to thinking people than it has been here? tofore presented. If the opponents of this measure have any idea of fighting it they had better be "up and doing," for Terrell carries conviction to the voters with him and it is not bis fault that he is stealing a march. If be uses the strong expressions credited to bim by one of your correspondents, it is very easv to see that it is done in a humorous style and not because he is unconscious of it. About two-thirds of the cotton around here is small, bat I think the stands are as good as I ever saw, and the people are working at it. Co.n is also small, and oats were generally short. I think, on the whole, that the out? look for farmers is gloomy ; cotton 3mall, out? look for low prices, while they are making their crops at heavy expense.-Cor. N. & G. Terracing Land. Mr. Editor : In ante-bellum days the nsoal mode of farming on tht; billy lands waste work a field until it washed away, theo clean up more. Evidences of this way of culture can be seen all over our State, in unsightly gullies and washes, where the soil has gone I into the bottoms and swamps, and in a great measure finally lost. Ot late years, the con? tinued growth of our population bas called into requisition the abundant acres of long ago wherever they can be cultivatedrand en j croacbments are now made upon our timbered I lands to supply the demand for agriculture, j We have no more timber than what is actually needed for the use and benefit of the State, and if the devastation of it continues, we will soon have a desert of land that will be barren indeed. The cause during late years I of such sudden changes in the climate, and disastrous floods in such short intervals of time, is due to the annual decrease of our forests. Year by year the timber snpply of the United States is rapidly growing less, and I unless it is checked, we will experience more I severe cold and heat, and larger floods in a shorter time tban we have in the past, as well as the risk to health from epidemics that may break out, with nothing to check them, but the mountains, from sweeping over our coun? try aDd leaving death and desolation behind. The great remedy by which we can reclaim our billy lands and make them profitable is the terrace. A spirit level tacked to a scant? ling of 15 feel will do to level the land, when it is not convenient to use other means. Of course the rows won't look so pretty in their crookedness, and it will take more time and trouble in plowing them, but this is offset by the rows holding the water, thereby vielding better crops in case of drought. The land can be improved without being washed away. Swamps and low places can be cultivated to a large extent, as soon as the water from the fields stop ranning through them, and lastly we can live witbcut using up all our timbered land to plant. All this thc terrace will do, and more, if all the lands in the State were terraced which need it we would not have such disastrous freshets, our river lands could be successfully cultivated, thereby yielding a mine of wealih to the State untold. All are aware that water can make but poor headway through the woods, and if each field could hold its own water, we would not have such suddeo oveiflows in our rivers, lt is the rapid accumulation of water, unchecked, from the fields, that causes the floods. In these crude thoughts rapidly penned, Mr. Editor, 1 hope our people will see the need of terracing their hilly lands. J. E. DUPRBS. Pisgah, S. C , May, 22d 1801, i- i i-tatmmm A Delightful Pic Hie.

IN MEMORIAM. HERMAN BULTMANN. A great writer said it was a pleasure to him to look upon a young man, because he knew there were so many possibilities locked up within him. We can realize something of the force of this statement when we look upon a young man lying cold in the clutch ot death. How many possibilities, how much hope has beeo cut off I How the builded air castles are melfed in a moment ! ?nd what an awful grave is dug in those poor riven hearts which had centred so much in him that is dead ! There were many who felt thusas they looked upon Herman. They had known him and learned to love him, and no one denied that the world bael a place for him to fill hon? orably and with credit. At home, he was loved of al!, and was The pride of a mother who doted upon him To her, he was tt-Ddtr and kind, and to all, his bearing was gra? cious and gentle. But in the high councils of Heaven, all human plans were thwarted, and we have borne the loved and trusted one to his lor.g home. It is said that he knew, what was coming, and foresaw the end, and said to those who asked him of his hope, that he was ready to arise and go hence at his Master's biddi ncr. All that mortal hand could do was done to stay the disease, but nothing avniled. There was a higher call, a voice and summons that could not be turned away, and so the child of hope and promise, the joy of home and life's dear light, only in his twentieth year, went out from the home tene?th in obedience to Him who called from the Home above.
