DEMOCRACY ON InL EAItAoI.-Ihe
unterrided Fourth Ward crowd Of Phila-
delphia were present at the assembling OF
the State Legislature 10 press the claim OF
John Ahern for ergcant-at-arms, but not
withstanding they threatened many Of the.
Senators, they 'Gtiled Senators Buckalew,
petriken ana Findlay had the courage to
oppose them. After their defeat the
crowd sought Mr.. Buckalew to do him
bodily harm, aud not finding him, went to
the hotel of Messrs Pctriken and Findlay,
and assaulted them in their rooms, beating
the Somerset Senator, and firing u pistol
shot at the Senator from Huntingdon, the
ball entering the wall near his bedside.
They were guilty Of other outrages. The
sequel shows that in the Senate at least the
gang are powerless for evil, whatever
else they may be elsewhere.

STATE TREAsURER.--The contest fer
State Treasurer was probably the most
quiet that has occurred for many years.
On Tuesday evening Robert W. Mackoy
received majority ofthe Republican votes
in caucus on the first ballot, las follows:
Robert W. Mackcy, 80
george L. HUFF,
&. Dawson Coleman, Q
NJ. Il. Taggart, l
The nomination was then unanimously
ratified, and Mr. Maclcy was elected on
Wednesday in JOINT convention. 2Ir. Mackey
made q good State Treasurer during
the year 1853 when he held that Office,
and We feel satisfied that he will not disap-
point those who have again placed Him in
that responsible position.

Simple Justice.

1t is but simple justice to acknowledge the
efforts of the New York World, which has been
doing yeoman service in enlightening the peo-
ple of the North as to the true condition OF
things in this State. We are rejoiced to know
that its work is effective, as this paragraph from
recent number attcsts:
The revelations made, chiefly through this
paper of the miserable condition to which re-
constructed rule has reduced the State of South
Carolina have evoked many honorable express
sions of sympathy for that commonwealth from
the press, irrespective of party, North. Here
and there some callous editor thinks it rather
good thing that the prime mover in secession
is SO assiduously kicked and spit upon, but for
the most part thesentiment is that it is disgrace,
full to us rs a people that so malignant and
cowaldly an enmity should wrcak its spite
years after any pretence of heat and of blood
can be urged in extenuation.

The Charleston Board of Trade.

: This commercial organization has promptly
seconded the, movement of the Chamber of
Commerce. A special meeting was held on
Friday evening to consider the financial condi-
lion of South Carolina, which was largely at
tended by influential citizens. The Vice
President, Capt. George H. Walter, opened the
meeting by a forcible speech, and was followed
by COL Richard Lathers and Hon. George A.
Trenholm. Similar resolutions to those adop-
ted by the Chamber of Commerce received the
unanimous endorsement of the Board. Col.
Latbers made an able and elaborate speech, un-
fielding many of the evils and exposing numer-
Gus frauds connected with the financial man
agement of our State affairs, and affirming the
necessity of action on the part of property
owners and taxpayers.

months, it is expected the entire line will be

the largest and best cotton market in this sec

Mr.. O. A. REED-Dear Sir: Your letter of
inquiry is at hand. will give you The result
of my experience used Mapes' Superphos;
phate of LimeI bought of you last spring;
used it on my cotton altogether. planted
about thirteen acres of gray sandy land, which
my neighbors thought could not average more
than 400 pounds of seed cotton per acre, and
thought SO myself l prepared it we'll, used
about 200 pounds of the Phosphate of Lime if
the drill per acre; it came up well, grew off
vigorously, and I don't think it stopped one
moment, till it reached its maturity, which was
none used no appearance of rust nor caterpil-
lar. The yield from the thirteen acres, was
10,640 pounds of good seed cotton, weighed by
myself. This was very satisfactory to me, as it,
was my first and only experiment with any of
the fertilizers. l was led to make choice Of
Mapes' Phosphate of Lime from the certif-
Gates of others; some of whom I kE6w to be-
good farmers and men of veracity:. expect
to use it again the ensuing season; &s I am sat1
isfed with the experiment have made with is;;
and doubt whether we can find better in its
stead. now will give you statement of my
trial rows: I planted four rows across the
patch, side by side, all planted and tended alike
and at the same time. The portion, you OBJ
serve above, was 200 pounds per acre-thei
crop through; wanted to see what quantity
to the acre might pay best; the 1st row I gave
three portions, which would be 600 lbss pet
acre; End row two portions, which would be-
400 lbs; 3rd row one portion, which would be-
200 lbs; 4th row / gave none. The result Z
No. row with three portions, made cotton.
seed 303 pounds. No. row with two portions.
made cotton-seed 284 pounds. No. 8 row with
one portion, made cotton-seed 192 pounds. No5
row with no portion, made cotton-seed AZ
pounds. Now to compare the yield of cotton
to the cost of the Phosphate, it seems to me
that about 200 pounds to the acre on common
land would be as economical amount as I can
fix. L. T. ARNOLD.

Testimony of Northern Republican

testimony OF Nortnern republican.
We make the following extract from the Ge-
neva IN. " Gazette, dated March 24th. Mr..
Dixon, the gentleman referred to, spent con-
siderable time in our midst, and we'are glad to
see that he carried with him due appreciation
of affairs in South Carolina He was engaged
while here in putting into operation the Tile
machine of Mr. Crayton, and as it was visited
by many persons curious to ascertain its work
ings, Mr.. Dixon enjoyed a fair opportunity of
becoming acquainted with our people, who by
the way were much pleased with his honest and
straightforward bearing. The extract from the
Geneva paper shows his estimate of the coun-
try:
Our worthy townsman John B. Dixon, and
wife, returned last Saturday from an overland
trip to Charleston and the far interior of South
Carolina. He has set up tile machine at An
derson in that State, and he brought home a
specimen of tile manufactured at that place.
The clay is of quite light color, and the tile
more porous than our own. A fine paying
business is anticipated
Mr.. Dixon, as is well known, has honestly
affiliated with the republican party. His tes-
timony, therefore, as to the state of society and
political governmental affairs in the Palmetto
State, educed by personal observation, if against
the radical reconstruction policy, cannot be at
tributed to bias in favor of the ''rebels" their
'tlost cause" He says the condition cannot
we'll be worse; than the worst elements of the
population, white and black, fill the legislative
halls and most of the public Offices that men
of intelligence, experience and probity are pro-
scribedby both federal and state laws from hold
ing any place of public trust, and even disfran
chised No wonder, then, the prevalence of
crime, the utter disorganization of society, the
debased condition and intolerable insolence
of the ignorant blacks-no wonder the occa-
sional outbreaks of mob law, and an outraged
community sometimes taking vengeance into
their own hands.
Mr.. Dixon is profuse in praises of the hos
pitality of the people whom he encountered:
He brought home specimens of unshelled
rice, and cotton-bolls as they grow and ripen
upon the plant-both rare curiosities to most
people Of our vicinity.
