The democrats that voted for Mr.. Clemens re-

The democrats that voted for Mr. Clemens re-
presented in part and in some instances the whole
of the following counties, viz: Benton Blount,
DeKalb, Jackson, Lauderdale Madison, Marshall,
St. Clear. At the Presidential election Of 1874,
the largest democratic vote that was ever polled
in this State was given to Polk and Dallas
We find the aggregate of the entire democratic
vote of the above countries in that election to
have been 1865; and the entire democratic vote
of the above counties in that election to have
been s7,74o. So that by giving him the entire
democratic vote of the above eight counties
and the representatives from all of them did not
vote for Mr. Clemens-there was democratic
majority against him in his Senatorial election of
twenty-nine thousand one hundred and seventy
five instead Of being ten thousand in his favor as
he asserted in the Senate.
Such is substantially the facts, borne out by
the record, versus Mr.. Clemens assertions. Let
the public Judge Of the amount of credibility to
be attached to what he says.
That he was elected by the wings the record
of the votes shows that he has been and is their
representative his course in the Senate and in this
State in the late canvass sufficiently demonstrate.
Perhaps we should add, that of the seventeen
democrats who voted for Mr.. Clemens, when he
was elected, but seven we're in the last Legisla-
ture, and at least three and perhaps four of these
would not touch him with a forty-foot rod they
consider that he has betrayed his party.

Messrs. Clemens and Rhett.

ave have heard but one opinion expressed as to
the issue of the rencontre between Messrs ErT and
CLEMRNs, in the United States Senate Every person
seems to think that the disunionist came off second
best" So says Federal Whig Union Advocate
argus, published in Wadesboro, Anson County, North
Carolina We are not surprised that such union papers
as the Argus and Washington Republic should hear
'but opinion expressed to the issue" in ques-
ton birds Of feather will flock together and it would
strange if their chatterng did not bear marks Of
strong resemblance. These pious organs who are 30
much opposed to disunion, are now pattng on the

unreasonable disunionsts that was known. They
Justify CLEMENS for his uncaled for, unprovoked at
tack upon RHErr, because Mr. RHErr is genuine and
consistent South Carolina disunionist.
We like to see small quantity of consistency on all
occasions. Mr.. Argus you award the need ofpraise
to Mr.. CLEMENS because he abused and vllifed a
brother Senator who expressed the same political SEN
timents which he, Mr.. c. once gave utterance to- You
thereby give countenance and support 10 man who,
though he has solemnly to support the laws Of
the United States deliberately and with malice assails
abroher member avowed purpose he declares
of getting challenge, thereby to violate the laws Of
his country. Ifthis is not therefore, clearly an offence
against the peace dignity, and laws of the nation pray
tell US what is7 YET there are who hear ''but
one opinion" in this matter and that in favor Of Mr.
CLEMENS, the aw-maker and the law-breaker This is
beautiful conststvnoyl
Mr. CLEMENS is a member Of that august body who
are to give law and authority to the affairs Of the ma
tioh; these men have the destiny Of the nation in
their hands If they to give being and life to law
in other words if they to be lawmakers it is hard
y fair that they should occupy the position of law
breakers also There should be another party for thi:
branch of the public service.
To justify commend or compliment man who goes
the rthest and is the most successful in acts Of gross
inconsistencies is at once to identify ones self with
such, or to become, as the lawyers say" Pariceps

The Grand Jury Of Charleston District at the Court

evils arising from such tampering Of whites with

The evil is so great, and augmenting 50 rap

The ORANGE TREEs.--H was apprehended
that the orange trees might be injured BY the
severity Of the past winter. But so far from
this Being the case there is every reason so far,
for believing that it will prove beneficial The
leaves and some of the smaller twigs have been
killed, but on recent visit to the groves of Man.
DARN we noticed that the young foliage is putting
out vigorously. 1t is generally believed that the
orange insect has been destroyed by the frost,
and if this should turn out to be so, it will be
ample compensation for all we suffered by the
cold. Although the idea Of suffering from cold
in Florida may be laughed at in less favored lat
itudes it was no joke last winter as many very
credible witnesses can testify.-Jacksonvills

FRANCE AND UNITED SrArEs.-The National

FRANCE AND UNITED SrArEs-The National
Intelligencer Of Tuesday says: 20 :
ave have noticed in circulation, in some Of
our newspapers, rumors of differences between
the Government Of the United States and that
of France, growing out of occurrences in that
country, and the manner Of recognizing the
existing Government there by that of the United
States. Without having given any credence
to these tumors, we have thought it worth while
to ascertain if there existed any foundation for
them, and find that there is none. We are hap
py to learn that nothing has occurred to disturb
the harmony existing between the two countries;
nor can we conceive that any differences in that
respect could well arise The Government Of
the United States has, according to its uniform
usage in such cases, recognised the existing au-
thorities of France as the National Government
of the country. International duty and respect
alike demanded this, and this Government could
do no less''

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.

WAsHINGToN, March 8.
For some time past, the House and Senate
have been occupied in part by discussions of the
various projects in relation to the public lands.
First, we have thirtv-one projects for the grant
of public lands to the States in which they lie,
for internal Improvements. These are the new
State projects-the object of which is to engross
for the new States the exclusive benefit of the
public domain. The arguments in their favor
are, that the commercial and moral improvement
of the new States will, in the end, aid the pub,
lie revenue, increase the population and strength
of the country, and give the old States employ
ment as the carriers Of their produce and as man.
ufacturers of many of the articles OF their con-
sumption
The old State projects for the disposition Of
The public lands are also uuder discussion in one
form and another These projects are also nu-
merous and important. First, is Mr.. Under
woods, for distribution among the old States
of large portion of the surveyed lands, in acres,
not in proceeds of sale, for their use. Next is
the general bill granting to each State lands for
the support Of insane asylums. Then comes
Mr.. Andrew Johnson's important bill for grant
ing l60 acres of land to every head Of family
in the United States, upon condition Of occupa'
ton. Another project, which will distribute
lands among the inhabitants Of the old States
is one to grant 100 acres Of land to all the sold
iers of the war of 1912, to whom, by the exist,
ing act, only forty or eighty acres were granted
As the Missouri land bill has been defeated in
the House, there land bill has been defeated in
the House, there will b" little chance for the 9TH
er thirty new State prof cts and it is evident that
the old State party has majority in the House.
How it will be in the Senate we cannot tell un-
til Mr.. Underwood's amendment to the Iowa BILL
by which he distributes lands among all the old
States shall be voted on. There has been some
talk of compromise between the old State
and the new State parties, by which the meas
ures of both will be adopted

WATERMELON sUeAR-The Chicago Tribune,
in speaking of the sugar made from watermelons,
says that it has never seen any sugar SO pure and
deliciousy sweet as it is, and says it is equal to
the best quality Of honey. Some one who has
tried the experiment of making syrup from the
melon, has succeeded in making better article
than the West Indies or New Orleans syrups.
Watermelon patches will look up, if they can be
converted into sugar plantations, The process
to obtain syrup is to choose dead ripe melons,
cut them in two, and scrape the inside into a
boiler, mashing all the pulp; when the boiler Is
full start the fire, and as the mass begins to boil
skim out the seeds and residue of pulp; boil un-
til the juice becomes Of a proper consistency for
keeping when it may be boiled and put away
in kegs or casks for use. ..y
1t is cheap experiment, and worth trying by
those who raise melons in any considerable guam
tity.-C Carotinian.

To CLEAN THE INSIDE OF JARs.--There is
frequently some trouble In cleaning the inside
of jars that have had sweet meats, pickles,
mince.meat, or other articles put In them for
keeping, and that when empty are wanted for
further use. This can be done in few minutes
without scraping Or soaking, by filing up the
jars with hot water, (it need not be scalding
hot) and then striking in teaspoonfal or more
of pearlash. Whatever of the former contents
has remained sticking about the sides and bot.
tom Of the jar, will Immediately be seen to dis
engage itself. and float loose through the water.
Then empty the jar. at once, and If any Of the
former odor remains shout II, FIJI It again with
warm water and pearlash, and let it stand IN,
disturbed a few hours, 'or till next day; then
empty it again, and rinse It with cold water.
Wash phials in the same manner. Also, the
insides of kettles, or any thing which you wish
to purify or clear from grease expeditiously and

CONGRESSIONAL BULL1Es.-When Mr.. Foote
left the Senate it was thought that the dignity
of that body would be relieved ofruftianism-but
it seems the mantle of the "little agitator' has
fallen upon Jere Clemens, who follows in the
footsteps Of his iusstrious predecessors with all
possible zeal and consistency. In debate
few days ago in the Senate, on the eternal Com
promise, Clemens attacked Rhett most furiously
-snearing from head to foot with the fithiest
emanatons from his purulent vocabulary. Rhett
replied with temper and spirit highly commen-
dable, acknowledging that, but for his religious
professions, he would feel bound to call the Hon
Jere out. Rhettquoted Clemens disunion speech
es prior to the passage Of the compromise, and
so, far as arguments was concerned, got much
the advantage of his enraged antagonist.-N'I

On the fifth ballot, Gov Fitzpatrick received

twelve were democrats and thirteen were wings.

four were democrats, and only four wings. Mr.

no ballot at which he did not receive more than
threefourhs of the entire democratic vote in both

But, says Mr.. Clemens, the democrats thai
