Farmer will, we hope, have large circu-
lation in South Carolina.
We are we'll satisfied that no farmer will
regret the money paid for subscribing to
good agricultural magazine. New methods
of farming, or notifications of old systems,
are being made public every day, ard the
change in the form of agricultural imple-
ments, the knowledge taught by the ezpe-
rience of others in applying fertilizers 10
the greatest advantage, together with the
Importance properly attached to the selec-
tion of seeds and plants, make it necessary
for every farmer to keep himself thoroughly
we'll informed as to what is going on in the
great agricultural world. This he cannot
better do than by reading regularly farm

times, and if we desire 10 march neck and

The Municipal Elections.

The election of the officers of the incor-
parated cities and towns in this State will
take place on Tuesday, November 10, one
week after the day of the Presidential elec-
ton, and the rules and regulations which
apply to the election of Mayor and Alder
men of Charleston apply to the election Of all
municipal officers throughout South Carroll
ma. In defining, then, what is necessary to
be done in this city, we define what is
equally necessary to be done in every incor-
porated town and village in the State.
The registration which closed in this city
on Tuesday last, and has recently closed
throughout the State, does not give to any
one the right of voting at the municipal
elections. It applies only to the elections
to be held on Tuesday next, and to none
other; and no one can vote at the municipal
elections held on November 10 who does not
register as voter on Friday, November 6,
Saturday, November Z, or Monday, NOvem-
Der 8. The law upon This subject, passed at
the late session of the Legislature, says:
III. In order to secure the free express
sion of all persons qualified to vote, as here
inbefore provided, the managers of cleo
tiops shall open their respective polling
places for three days next preceding the
day fixed for the election herein provided
for, commencing at seven o'clock A. NJ,
and closing at FIVE o'clock P. NJ, each day,
and shall, during these days, record the names
of all qualified electors, and their places Of II
Nv. The qualifications of an elector shall
be those required by the constitution, to-
gether with residence of sixty days next
preceding the election within the corporate
limits of the city or town, and that he has
been duly registered in the ward or precinct
in which he offers to vote.
The day fixed for the election is the
second Tuesday of November, and the three
preceding days, omitting Sunday, are No
vember 6, November and November 9.
No man can vote for Mayor and Alderman Of
Charleston ,rho does not register on one Of
those days tn the mard or precinct in arhich he

be evaded or overcome. Every man must
register if he would vote.
The qualifications of voter are as fol-
lows:
l. That he is citizen Of the United
States, and of the age of twenty-one years
and upwards
2. That he has resided for sixty days
ext preceding the election within the cor
norate limits of the city or town, and that
he has been duly registered in the ward or
precinct IN which he offers to vote.
These are the only qualifications; but
paupers, insane persons and convicts are
not allowed to vote.

Book Notice.

Canoes FROM ENGLISH HISTORY, from Rolo
to Edward H. BY The author OF the Heir-oi
Redclyffe. Philadelphia i.J. B. Lippincott y
Co. 1865 Fosartie's Book Depository,
Charleston, s. Z.
This is the only style of history from
which the general reader will not shrink as
from study ard weariness. 1t is, there
fore, the kind to which popular writer's
tend more and m:re. Avoiding tedious de-
tails and philosophical reflections, concen-
tratipg attention upon conspicuous charac-
ters and important events, adopting the
pleasant methods of the story.teller and the
freside dramatist, this treatment gives to
the truth of history q favor of romance.
We doubt whether the author Of the Heir
of Redclyffe'' has written any novel that will
compare in interest with these sketches of
the heroic age of England. The volume is
devoted to the stirring movements of the
Norman line of princes, from the mighty
Conoueror to the second EDWARD, thus
serving as continuation of the charming
history of Palgrave. The next set of "Ca-
meos" will portray the French wars and
the wars of the Roses. The story is told
easily and gracefully, tine old chroniclers
being freely used and the legendary spirit
of the times being we'll preserved. The
manual execution of the book is faultless-
old English type and cream-tinted paper,
we'll suited to the old-world story.

Test Oaths.

The New York Sun draws attention to the
fact that the Court of Appeals of that State,
following the decisions of the United States
Supreme Court in test oaths affecting per-
sonal rights, has just declared that the i'm
position of test oaths by legislative enact
ment, for the purpose Of excluding from
the polls persons who were engaged in the
late rebellion, is unconstitutional and q
violation of personal rights The editor
says: $50 far as the acts of any State Le-
legislature, or of Congress itself, are con-
"cerned, not even JEFFERSON DAVIS could be
.sprevented from voting in this State if he
chad resided here the requisite length of
"timc. Until he has been tried and convict
"ed for an offence against some law which
"was in force when the offence was commit
"ted, he remains in possession of all the
"privileges of any other elector. 1t would
'follow from the principles of this decision
"that the idea of Furnishing in any way the
"great bulk of the men who were engaged
sin the rebellion, may as well be given up
.fosever."

Agriculture.

We have received copies of two agricul-
tural magazines for the month of October,
one published in Clinton, S. c., the other
published in Wilmington, n. c.
The Farm and Garden. An agricultural
newspaper, published monthly by James R.
Jacobs g. Co., Clinton, S. c. 81 90 per
annum. This little ma gazine is not model
of typographical beauty, published as it is
at distance from the great centres of in
formation; but it is filled with valuable in
formation, and deserves far more general
patronage than it has yet obtained. The
proprietors say "The Farm and Garden
"is published by farmers, among farmers,
"and for farmers. It's deductions are drawn
"from the open fields of the different farm
Sing communities" And this is its great
merit. 1t is, moreover, better adapted to
the wants of the farmers of our own State
than if it were published anywhere over the
border The number for October contains,
duouBSt OtucEe, dIllCitS Ou saflb5 taV IVY,
on the selection of seed, on turning under pea
vines, and on fences, as we'll as the summary
of work for the month.
The Carolina Farmer. A monthly maga-
zine published at Wilmington, n. c., by
VIM. II. Bernard. s. 90 pc" annum. The
October number is the first issue of this
magazine, which is both we'll printed and
we'll arranged. The proprietor, in his sa-
lut atory address, intimates that the Farmer
will be devoted to the agricultural interests
of the two Carolinas, and promises to make
it first class agricultural journal The
number before US is rich IN the variety and
interest of its contents. There are papers
on the culture of the strawberry, the cock
ing of vegetables, raising hogs and poultry,
horses, grass, liquid manure, scientific til
lage, truck farming, besides number of
miscellaneous and editorial articles. The
