THE CONTESTED ELECTION FOR Con-
GREss IN TIE THIRD CoNGnEssIoSAL
DITR1cT.--For the last threo or four
days the examination Of witnesses on
the part Of tho contestant s. L. Hoge
has been going on in this city, against
the validity of tho election of +. p.
Reed as member of Congress from
this District. The investigation is be-
fore w. Ii. Wiyg, Judge of Probate.
Judge Hoge is conducting tho exulni-
nation i'll person in his own behalf
and Joseph Daniel Pope, Esq, has
been retained as counsel for Mr.. Reed.
Tho examination OF Talbcrt occupied
the create: part Of Friday and Sat
urday, and. &c are Informed, that it
was i'll many respects tho most extra
ordinary evidence that ever was Civ
en-. He confessed, in lis examination
to the murder of Randolph, and gave
III full the shocking details. Tho cx-
animation is continued from o'clock
i'll the morning until 8 o'clock at
night. Question and crosS-qucstion
arc followed up with rapidily, and we
suppose the evidence in print in this
case will fill printed volume as big
as a family Bible. Will it be as truth
full? We understand that Mr.. IIoge
proposes to examine in the District
800 witnesses; and, probably, Mr..
Reed as mapy more. Who will ever
read it? Mr.. Hoge has sclecttl Co.
lumbia to conduct the examination of
many of his witnesses, because he

We direct attention to the letter OF
Col. Aiken which we publish on our
first page, and feel assured that his
strong appeals, and unanswemt!o ar,
gumcnts in behalf Of agricultural or.
ganization, must have their weight
with ourplantcrs. In another column
we publish also the communication OF
"a Planter" urging the same view
and invoking early action. These
suggestions we trust will awaken at.
tention, excite enquiry and produce
action: Col. Aiken suggcsta ghe third

GUS heighborhoods send up full repro

perfect the organization Of our Dis.
trict and Neighborhood Societies. The
old political organizations may form
the basis ot,new ooc;eties, prepared to
act as efficiently, and with the prom.
lse OF reaping more abundant fruit.
Is organization tho ono thing neodful
in politics, and is it to br discarded in
agriculture Is there nothin. to be
accomplished here by concerted ac-
ton, and united effort; by the inter
chango Of views and the comparison
of plans; by mutual Enlightenment,
and by mutual encouragement; by
tho collision Of different minds, and
tho sympathy of common purposes.

pfoded that it requires study, to be a
doctor, a lawyer or n preacher, but
that any man may bo' a farmer

else, "is power" and it docs not come

STATEMENT OF a. T.. WELcn-On
our first page We publish tho state
ment Of A. L. Welch in reply to ccr-
tain structures of the AbbevilIc papers.
The statement is designed to excuse or
Justify the conduct of tho writer IN
two particulars-First, with reference
to his ARRAY with Briscoc, and Second
in respect to tho subsequent arrest.
With regard TO tho first, tho statement
contains nothing which 'contradicts
anything which we have said-ccr-
tainly nothing which could justify tho
course: Of Wolch as peace officer.
lie does rot allego that he had a war
rant at tho tiho. f.: tho arrest Of
Briscoe, or that he. attempted to make
ain arrest in persuance Of it's mandate.
There may be palliating circumstances,
but these neither justify nor excuse
homicide. Second, MS to the arrest.
and his conduct thereupon by his
own statement he admits that he was
rot disposed to submit to tho arrest.
Why Forsooth He thought he
had cono nothing to deserve incarcera-
