Condition Of South Carolina,

Perhaps there are very few of our
readers who have a just conception Of
the desperate condition Of affairs in
South Carolina, under the deplorable
reign Of Carpet Baggers and negro
domination. The Rev. James Freeman
Clark has just returned from that State,
and the following is from sermon
preached in Boston
In sermon in Boston last Sunday he
said that her worst enemy could not wish a
worse punishment for her than she is now
suffering. Politically and socially, she is
turned upside down. The former slaves
are now the masters, and the whites, form
erly the owners Of the negroes, are now
subject to them. In the State Legislature
there are but twenty whites. All the rest
are colored men, and most of these can
neither read or write. It is a very common
occurrence for colored man elected to the
Legislature to go to Columbia as poor as
can be, and return driving as his own ST,
600 horse. After an experience Of two or
three sessions he is generally able to build
a $4,000 house for himself. In contrast
with this, the preacher saw an old gentle
man, Of culture and refinement undoubted-
ly, judging by his manner, former slave
holder, now engaged as conductor of a
horse car, and very glad to obtain even that
employment. The corruptions of the Leg
islature are indisputable, and all the ras-
calities of the most corrupt political bodies
at the North are openly initiated.

Here is one Of the huge CULTS tha

Here IS one OF the huge CULTS that
swallows up Western money
Says the New York Herald: \ New
England newspaper informs US that the re-
cent inquiries into the condition of the cot
ton mills in some parts Of Massachusetts
show wonderful prosperity. Dividends of
l4O per cent. are declared, stock multiplied
ten times in value, and the stock of bank
doing their business has quadrupled in ten
years.
These are the men who control Con-
gress as against the West; and the
West pays for it roundly.
HOW THE WEST IS TREATED BY THE EAST.
One cannot appreciate the intense ignor-
ance at the East in regard to the West an-
less one is in the habit of perusing the
leading New York, Philadelphia, and Bos-
ton papers. OF oar population, wealth,
industrial resources, to say nothing Of the
public sentiment Of this section, they seem
to know less than they do Of Central Africa
since stanley's explorations. They bestow
more attention and greater space to the
news from Canada than they do to that from
the West. They foolishly speak Of the re-

it was semi civilized country, with large
Indian reservations at no great distance
from Cincinnati, Chicago, and St. Louis
Americans have often been amused at the
want of knowledge Of the United States
upon the part Of the so-called educated
classes in Great Britain, but they are well
informed compared to the average Eastern
man in his ideas Of the West. Accustomed
to dominate in Congress and in National
Conventions for years, where they paid no
attention to the feelings and interests of
the West, they have not yet awakened to
the realization that they have sunk into
pitiful minority, and that the West can now
make President without the aid Of an East
ern State, and that it can also control both
Houses Of Congress. By the census of
1880 the East will be as powerless in num-
bers as the South is now. Yet, despite all
this, it threatens and fumes through it's Or
gans of public opinion as if it was still in
powerful majority. It has been lately
saved from defeat by the veto of a Western
traitor, but it is a respite only-the Water
loo will be the more decisive when it comes.
Both parties at the East are alike saucy
and Insulting in their treatment of the
West. The Democrats from the West who
went to the New York Convention in 1865
returned almost as indignant with the East
as they were with the South on returning
from the Charleston Convention in 1861
The Western Republicans have been but
little, If any, better treated by their East
ern colleagues Cincinnati Enquirer.

3D. Grange Advance:
am instructed to send you a copy of
the following resolutions, which were in :
troduced by Bro. VIM. N. Plymat, and
adopted at our last meeting:
WHEREAS, Article 6 Of the National
Constitution, fixing the minimum fee for
membership has been constantly and open
ly violated, and
WHEREAS, We believe our only safeguard
against anarchy, confusion, and finally, to-
tai disruption Of our whole Order, is the
strict observance Of the spirit as we'll as
the letter Of the whole law, and
WHEREAS, The State Master has finally
taken decided stand in defense of its
strict observance, and
WHEREAS, We believe it to be the duty
of all true Patrons to uphold him therein,
therefore
Resolved, That we Individually and col
lectively pledge ourselves to the strict OBJ
servance of the law and hope all other
Oranges will do the same.
may add that the excellent feast to
which the sisters of this young Grange
treated US, was well patronized to the profit
and delight of all partakers. And the still
greater excellence in the spirit of sociabil-
ity and friendship which it stimulated, was
recognized by the new members as one Of
the early and happy fruits Of their regen-
Grafton, and by the old ones as means of
strengthening the Order by cementing
neighbors together with a new and health
ful bond. II. E. NJ.

From the Chicago Times.
A Chinese Funeral Use for PO-
tatOeS.

Chicago witnessed it's first China
mans funeral on Thursday. 1t was Il
queer affair. 1t fact it might almost be
called an agricultural affair, from the i'm
portant part potatoes were made to play
in it. The name Of the defunct Celes-
tial was All Leck. He Was 32 years old.
it was No. 2l0 West Randolph street he
shuffled. The funeral took place on
Thursday afternoon. About 40 China
men were in attendance, and a good
many melikans" were present as look
ers on.
The body was first attired in three
or four suits Of Clothes Much care
was observed in all the ceremonies.
Everything was done with punctilious
exactness. Especial repugnancc was
exhibited to touching the corpse. If it
was desired to change its position, the
undertaken and his assistants had to do it
This seemed to arise more from supersti-
tious scruples than fear. A great many
potatoes, with wax tapers stuck in them,
were placed all around the coffin. A
particularly large one, with many tapers
in it, was carefully put on the right
hand side. Several holes were then
burnt in the outside blouse the corpse
had on, and with great ceremony.
The undertaken was then requested to
place piece Of silver in the dead mans
mouth, after which hat full Of silve1.
pieces was passed around the room,
each person present being told to take
one and keep it. A large number Of
square pieces Of paper with holes
punched in them, and bearing HERO
glyhics, were then scattered in the cof-
fin after which the undertaken placed
the corpse in, which was sprinkled over
with these papers, and then covered
with a white cloth and red one.
More papers were then scattered over
thes., after which the lid was put on
and screwed down. The undertaken
and his assistants then lifted the coffin
from its trestles and changed its position
from foot to head three times, the au-
dience looking on with great solemnity.
The bedding last used by the deceased
was rolled up and tied, and five potatoes
ranged along the top Of it, the middl,
one being stuck full Of tapers. After
several holes had been burnt in this
bedding, an expressman took charge Of
It and preceded the procession to the
grave. All Leck was then ready to be
buried. He was then placed in a
hearse, carriage being driven just
ahead OF it, from which the leader
Of the ceremonies continued to toss a
large quantity of papers bearing hiero-
glyphics, as the procession passed up
the street. At Wonders cemetery, near
Graceland, the bedding was burned,
and the departed Chinee snugly laid at
rest AS soon as enough of his coun-
trymen have been accumulated along
side of him TO make it an object, the
bones of the entire party will be packed
up and shipped to the Flowery King
dom, there to quietly repose until Hang

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, April 2ll
The account of the proceedings had,
on the trial of Susan B. Anthony, on
the charge of illegal voting, and the
trial Of the inspectors OF election who
received her vote, makes, with certain
additional matter bearing upon the
cases, a book of over 200 pages. Its con-
tents are as follows: the indictment
against Susan B. Anthony ; the evil
dence taken upon her trial; Judge Sell
denis opening in her behalf; his argu-
ment for the defendant; the opinion;
the verdict; Judge Selden's remarks on
the motion for a new trial; Miss Antho-
ny's objections to the imposition of the
sentence; the indictment against the
inspectors; the objections to the said in
dictment by Mr.. Van Noorhis; the evil
dence taken on the trial; the argument
in behalf Of the defence by Mr.. Van
Voorhis; the verdict; the motion for a
new trial and its denial; the verdict and
the sentence; the address of Susan B.
Anthony, delivered in twenty nine
places in Monroe, and twenty-one in
Ontario, in her canvass of these counties
previous to her trial; the speech of Ma
tilda Joslyn Gage, delivered in sixteen
towns of Ontario county, and an article
by Judge Hooker OH Judge Hunt and
the right of trial by jury. 1t is.proper
10 say that Distriet-Attorney Crowley
was applied to for copy of his argu-
ment in the case of Miss Anthony, but
neglected to furnish it for publication.
With this exception, we have COM
plete history of case destined to become
celebrated.
We believe the book is the most inn
portant contribution vet made to the
discussion of the Woman Suffrage issue,
from a legal standpoint It deals, to a
very small extent, with either the emo
tional or the expediental phases of the
question-phases which are necessarily
| involved in the broader debate as to
whether the ballot shall be given to
woman, but which are, of course, ex-
cluded from the determination of her
right to vote under existing statuary
regulations. Upon this limited branch
of the subject it must be conceded that
Judge Selden makes a very strong argu-
ment, as, indeed, does Miss Anthony
| in her addresses before the electors of
this and adjoining county. Judge Sell
denis analysis of the term citizenship"
is very exhaustive. He holds that the
right to vote inheres in the citizen, and
fortifies his position by the definitions
Of the photographers and the dicta, II
not the decisions of the courts. If this
/ be so, we cannot see how the conclusion
| is to be resisted that the Fourteenth
Amendment includes in its sweeping
effect the prohibition of the States from
making laws which shall abridge the
suffrage of any of their citizens. The
constitution of the State of New York,
in prescribing the qualifications of an
eleetor, says, "eyery male citizen" etc,
and thereby seems to concede that
women are citizens. The Fourteenth
Amendment to the constitution Of the
United States uses these express words :
All persons born or naturalized in the
United States, and subject to the juris-
