1MpoRTANr TO COUNTRY MERcHANrs,

An advertisement of the South Carolina Railroad
Company, offering business tickets to travel on
their road at twenty FIVE dollars for one thousand
miles, has been published tor some weeks past in
all the city papers, bui it is feared that the lber-
aity and advantage of the offer have not been fully
appreciated. Twenty five dollars for one thousand
miles is only two and-a-half cents mile instead
of six cents the usual charge for way passengers.
By the use of this ticket, merchant living one
hundred miles from Charleston, and who is in the
habit Of going to Charleston, Ave times year, at
an expense for railroad fare of sixty doars, could
come twelve times for the same money. The i'm
portance of this saving need scarcely be explained
to business men familiar with the advantage of o
frequent renewal os their stock

Just before the Senate adjourned the Prcsidents s
secretary arrived with number Of messages I'm
mcdiatcly after adjournment, an excited crowd
gathered around and the messages were opened
amid, apparently, intense anxiety; showing that
the Presidents actions are still regarded of
some moment. The President withdrew The
nomination of Ewing and nominated ]. H. Scho-
field as Secretary of War, vice Stanton to be re-
moved
Nelson spoke all day, and kept the Senators and
galleries well seated aad interested throughout

close. The points were well made, and in some
cases startling. The end will not be reached un-

CLOVER.
]. D. FRANKS, Sec.


Mr.. EDITOR: II is well known to you and 10
many of your readers, no doubt, that the culture
of clover in this country has heretofore been con-
sidercd nproftabe-it having been unsuccessfnlly
attempted by many Of our best farmers-and who
have settlcd' down upon the opinion that, as the
soil here is not naturally adapted to its growth
that it would be waste of time and money to make
repeated efforts But to such as doubt. and to
those who would be delighted to see it growing
here in all the luxuriance and beauty which at
tends its growth in Virginia, Kentucky and Ten
nessee would refer them to. the farm of our most
estimabe fellow citizen, Maj I. H. McCann, in
the northern part of this Disrict-which has Two
fields upon 1.-THE larger of which is now most
profitable pasture, indeed-the smaller not being
pastured at this time-would equal in denseness
and beauty the finest clover field in either of the
above named States. 1t will produce two harvests
this year-lhc first in about four weeks.
The success of this experiment is due to the only
son of the Major, Julius, o fine practical farmer
who returned from the war quite young man.
and determined to adorn and make more profitable
tina. houe and farm which had been the pride of
his father to watch over and cultivate for many
years-he obtained charge of it-and his success
in growing clover in section where it hnd been
attempted often with failure, is only n part of the
fruits of his labor and skill in agriculture.
1t would be OF interest, no doubt, TO many Of our
farmers to- know how this success has been atain-
ed But as knowledge is most highly priced when
it costs US something it would probably be best to
refer those who desire to learn to those who are
better able TO teach. The process however IS SIM
pie, and the profits by far exceed the cost. This
young man would be pleased, Mt any time, to give
the results of his experiments in the culture of
this most valuable forage plant, by letter, if ad-
addressed at Equality.

THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE UNDER THE NEW
CONSTITUTION.

We publish to-day an article from the Greenville
Enterprise on this subject, assuming the position
that the new Constitution Of this Stale does not
disfranchise any one, except for crime. Ehe Varl-
GUS sections Of the constitution and the proposed
amendment to the constitution of the United States
are quoted to sustain this position, and we think
our excellent cotemporary fully demonstrates the
correctness of the proposition, that no ore is pro-
hibited the right of suffrage by reason, ,of having
participated in the late war. Under the Recon
structon Acts it will be remembered disfranchise-
ment extends to all persons who, prior to tho war;
held Office requiring an oath to support the Con-
sttuson. of the United States and afterwards ''en
gagged in the rebellion" Both acts were requisite
to deprive any one of the elective franchise
Either one was not sufficient, but under the laws
of the several Southern States almost every officer
was required to subscribe the oath aforesaid, and
hence the extensive disfranchisement. 1t may be
remarked, in this connection, that the practice in
the Northern States different, and only the
most important officers were required to swear ale
glance 10 the constitution Of the United States At
least such information is based upon high author
ty, and that the majority IN congress never COLI
templated the dsfranchisement of every man hold
ing an insignificant Office before the war Be this
as it may, the result has prevented many intelli-
gent citizens from voting in the recent elections,
and has virtually given the power in some localities
TO ignorant and vicious men. If this state of things
is not perpctuated under the new constitution, and
the majority in Congress will acquiesce in its pro-
visions, whereby none dsfranchised, then there
is CLEAN of hope even under the new condition
of things Many of our most respected and able
citizens have felt unauthorized 10 engage in poll
tics while under the ban of political prescription.
Their hands may now be unfettered, and with their
less experienced brethren, they can enter upon the
work of rcdceming even South Carolina from the
thraldom of ignorance and misrulo.

This old and established firm needs no recommen-

farmers will let their wants be known, they will
take pleasure in recommending only such machines

THE MEETING TO NOMINATE CANDIDATES
FOR THE DISTRICT OFFICES,

According to previous announcement, mass
meeting of the conservative citizens of Anderson
District was held in the Court House on Monday
tho several District Offices The meeting was
largely attended, evory beat company in the Dis
trict being represented. The committee appointed
to select candidates from the various nominees
consisted of thirty-four gentlemen, representing
every section of the District, and embracing per-
sons of intelligence and influence in their respec-
tive communities, supposed to be conversant with
the wishes of the people generally. The choice OF
this committee was unanimously confirmed by the
meeting, and the candidates 60 before the people
with the unqualified appreciation of the persons
there assembled The influence of those present
will undoubtedly be accorded to the nominees,
and will have mnch weight in preventing any di-
vision among the conservative voters. 1t would
be extremely unfortunate and disastrous to the
party, if dissensions should arise, and We would
having the welfare of the District ct heart to sacr
fee private ambition personal prejudice, if any
such exists, for the sake Of unity and harmony
AS the presiding officer of the meeting, Dr.
BRoYLEs, remarked in his opening address, 1--WE
must win, because we cannot afford to lose."
We would respectfully suggest that meetings be
held in every neighborhocd, for the purpose of
ratifying the nominations made that we may pre-
sent q bold and united front. We will take pleas
ure in publishing the proceedings of any such
r,oo,;noe whaneyer forwarded
As matter of interest to the people, we would
state that the Office of Tax Collector is not provi-
ded for in the constitution and it is presumed that
the Legislature must make some provision respect
ing that o flee before election will be held
Hence it was not deemed advisable that any nomi-
nation should be made at present The subject
was fully discussed, as understand, by the NOM
mating committee, and afterwards in the meeting,
and the conclusion reached as above indicated.
