FEDERAL FL Fl OFFICES IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

The faithful hosts Of carpet baggers and scala
wsgs in Columbia have been considerably e1or-
cissd for some days over the reception of news
from Washington. that the Senators and Repre-
sen,atiyes in Congress had recommended certain
persons to fill the prominent Federal Offices in
this State. The information is to tho effect that
EppIsG will be continued as United States Mar-
shall, s. G. TRorT as Postmaster at Charleston
J. D. GEDDIxas as Assistant United States Treas
urer and II. O.. HEnRIoK as Assessor of In'ernal
Revenue for the Ord Collection District GEORGE
W. CLARK, the present Mayor of Charleston, to
be Collector Of Internal Revenue at that place,
and s. L. Potter to be Collector Of the Port, in
place of DR.. A. G. MACKEY. This announcement
created great indignation among the 'trooly loil,'
who denounced TRorF as being opposed to the
Reconstruction Acts, CLARK as o defiant rebel
against the laws of the present State government,
GEpnINos as dyspeptic Democrat, and HERRIcK
as Democrat of the straightest Sect and all of
them as being open enemies of the reigning dy-
nasty in this commonwealth Senator LESLIE was
particularly and outrageousy indignant, as he
wanted to be United States Marshal, and had al-
ready publicly announced that he would take the
census this year. The thing was boiling hot, and
it was necessary for the steam to escape. Hence,
flaming posters announced an Indignation meeting
on Friday night, which was largely attended by
hungry office-seescrs. Resolutions were adopted
protesting against any such appointments and
claiming everything for themselves. lot of sur
plus gas was expended and the indignation of
members cooled down. The whole thing was u
mizzle, and at last accounts it was not known who
are to fill the .Gices,

CHANGES IN THE CABINET.

1T was not expected that there were to be any
sereat changes in the Cabinetform by Gen. GRANT
Il least for awhile, but the administration was
scarcely week old ere runors were afoat and
serious changes actually took place. MIR. WASH
BUaNE was in bad health, and after,a few hours
labor in the State department. he sent in his resig-
nation. The disabilities under which Mr.. STEWART
lsbored were not removed by Congress upon
.GRASr's application, and the message MAS with
drawn, and STEwAKr's resignation accepted. There-
was nominated for Secretary of State; Ex-Gover-
NOR. GEoRGE s. Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,, for
Secretary of the Treasury and Gen. RAWLINGS, late
chief of, Gen GRANTS staff, for Secretary of War
Theiresult of this Cabinet making is-regarded as
q triumph of the extreme Radicals over the new
President, since ne consulted none of his friends
upon the nominations first made and was obliged
to reinoderhis counsellors at so early day, and
this time confessedly to suit the wishes Of the ma
fority in Congress. The great surprise which the
ifst nominations gave has been gradually dying
away, and the newspapers seem to think that the
party lash has been effectually applied. This is
lad beginning for the mighty warrior and indicates
an Unconditional Surrender" We trust that he
win not become spiteful .thereat, and wreak his
vengeance upon the prostrate South. as sort of
papacea for the wounds received in this encounter
,Eith the hosts of Radicalism. We will not pre-
Judge him, however, and hope for better things.

FRIEND HoYr: was much pleased to see in one
eff the late issues Of the intelgencer, FEB llth)
a proposed Agricultural Convention in this State
by Mr.. Pelham, with your remarks on the same,
in which fully agree with you that our Demo-
cratic Clubs as such should have nothing TO do in
the matter They should not be combined. The
farmers and planters of our State should take the
matter in hand, regardless Of any other organiza-
ton, however needlul and popular amongst uH
heretofore. . -4
Let the Agricultural Societies in each county,
land where there are no societies let clubs be
made uP,) send delegates to the Convention.
You say, "The people of this county have on
organization" &c.. sc. You might have said two
est, with probably one exception, in the State
the 'Pendleton Farmers Soeicty"-which is not
yet so defunct, (though its symptoms are some
what alarming, not having held a meeting since
our election of officers in October las,) to pre-
vent its taking an interest in the proposed Con-
vention.
Mr.. Editor, as an old life member of our once
State Agricultural Society, take this occasion TO
thank Mr.. Pelham for his nitiatory movement in
this matter, not, however, for tho purpose only Of
consulting on improved methods Of cultivating
cotton and other crops" &C., but for the much
more important business Of rcsuscitating our now
dead State Society.
Although our lancntcd late President Calhoun,
and many other most worthy and able members of
old Society, cannot BIO with us, there are many
life members yet spared and willing to assist in
raising it from its PROSTATE state to pcrpen
dicular Let us, PhGnix.lke, spring from the
ashes of our once beautiful Fair Grounds, laid
waste by the h-lish vandalism of Sherman, and
rc-establish our former fourishing useful and
popular Society, more needed now than ever be-
FORE
have waited for some time, Mr.. Editor, for
some ADLER pen than mine to back Nr. Pelham in
his very praiseworthy movement in this, to our
farming community, paramount matter of impor-
lance think the time of our Railroad Conven-
tion will be the most suitable time for ours.
Yours truly, GEO. SEABORN.

A TRIP TO THE SOUTH.

Mr. Editor: Before the completion Of the Mis-
little village (Shongdlo) in this vicinity. Now
Walden, the Depot, he's drawn most, if not all, of
tho business from that place. There is now u
thriving village hero and considerable cotton
market It has healthy, thriving appearances,
and gives this community market almost at their
dcors While this village has been rising, Shen!
gallo has been declining. few families, not en-
gagged in business remain. 1t nas all the appear

has found them out here, and overspread this
whole region even in the most healthy portions
Of it but few families that did not have more
cases At no former period, perhaps, has there
been 80 general sickness, yet small mortality
for the great amount of sickness. Iisee nothing
to hinder the temporal and spiritual prosperity of
this people, if the blessing of God should continue
to rest upon them. The Federal plunderers were

mules and provisions, but the foot -prints of the

Where q communication from our old friend Maj.
GEo. SEAsoRN, Of Pendleton, who is well known
IS the former Editor of the Farmer and Planter, and
8 prominent member of the State Agricultural
Society before the war. 1t will be eseen that this
eolnmnnication was penned some time ago, but
Maj, .SEAEoRS says that he neglected to send it,
t.nol from want of zeal in the cause, but more
probably the want Of energy to prosecute any
business He.is reminded however by a recent
letter in the Phenir signed "CATo," in which he
snd other friends of the cause aie. called on by
name to- show their hands, and hence he sends
ssthis mite for what it is worth" The suggestion
with which he concludes, that Convention be held
stit!ie time of the meeting of Stockholders Of the
GreenviIle Railroad, meets our hearty concurrence
and we trust that the press throughout the State
win take mp the matter and give earnest atten-
tion to this suggestion. There several agrcul-
turaf societies being formed aud others revived
in the various counties, and We think the time is
opportune to begin the undertaking. We believe
that the advantages and benefits arising from o
State organization of this kind are generally con-
ceded, and therefore refrain from discussing wha.

Union Railroad was passed by 10 to 16. A joint
resolution authorizing the Governor to purchase
two thousand arms OF the most approved pattern
was passed and ordered to be enrolled. The joint
resolution ratifying The Fifteenth Amendment was
passed by vote of So to g. The proceedings Of
the Senate were uninportant.

the appropriation bill, amid applause. The bill to
define the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace,
and regulate the practice of Justices Courts, was

The bill to organize the militia was passed and
ordered to be enrolled for ratification. Senate
proceedings again devoid of interest, With . single
exception A copy of the presentment of the
Grand Jury of Anderson was laid before the. Sem
ate, and on motion of Senator Leslie, it was or
dered to be spread in full upon the journal. He
stated that it was the first paper sent to the Gene
raj Assembly which contained o statement showing
that the conservative and moderate men Of that
section of country are determined at all hazards TO
maintain good order and peace. 1t was entitled
to more than the ordinary courtesy extended to
communications frequently sent to the, Legislature.

Commissioners to codify the laws. After several
