Interesting Ceremony,

On Sunday last, at l2 O'Clock, the
Jewish synagogue in Augusta, Ga,
was filled with spectators to witness
the ceremony of the conversion of
Miss Jennie Hall, of Grccnvillc, S. G.
to the Jewish faith. She had for
some time previous been desirous TO
embrace that faith, and had been in
stfueted IN its doctrine. That day
had boch appointed to public de-
claration Of her belief. At tho ap-
pointed hour, the minister, Rev. NJ.
j.. Lcvinsohu, delivered a lecture ;
alter which, Miss Hail rccilcd tho ten
commandments and the Jewish creed, :,
and afterwards was called Up to the
altar, where she confessed her faith,
and proclaimed in the Hebrew lam
guagc, the words, "IIcar, o Israel
the Lord is our God ! the Lord is
one !" The minister thereupon gave
her the namo Of Sarah Robecca, and
blessed her with the pricstly bcncdic.
tion, which finished tho ceremony.
After the conclusion Of the ceremony,
she was married, according to the
Jewish ritual, to Ellis Lyons, ESQ. y,
of Augusta.

President Grant Thinks thC Republican
Party Over Weighted.

Perhaps the most significant speech
the President has ever made of n
political nature was addressed re.
Gently to some prominent Rcpubi.
cans who called. upon him at the
White House. The President said !:
II begin to think that It is time for
tho Republican party to unload.
There has been too much dead weight
carried by it. The success Of our
arms during tho rebellion, and tho
confidence that the Republican party
was srtoDg enough to hold up any
burden, have imposed all tho disaffsc-
ton iu the Gulf States on the Nd
ministration. l am tired of this
nonsense. let Louisiana tako care
of 'rself, as Texas will have to do.
| don't want any quarrel about
Mississippi State matters to bio re-
ferrod to me. This nursing of
monstrositics has hearty exhausted
the life of the party. I am done
with them, and they will have to
axe care of themselves"

To-day the marriage Of tbs second
son Of Queen Victoria, the Duke of
Edinhurg, with tho Grand Duchess
Marie, she only daughter Of the Gar
Of all the .Ru*sias, will be formally
solemnized in the Russian capital.
y 81. Petersburg letter says
"On Sunday, the 18th instant. the
Duke of Eainburg arrived at ST.
Petersburg in good health and oapi-
tai spirits. About an hour previous-
ly the imperial carriage and slcdgcs
arrived at the railway station to
receive him, and presently Il guard
Of honor, with Il band at its head,
and The Russian eagle displayed, was
drawn up rn the platform. Soon af-
ter, the Grand Duke \!cxis appe AIRED
on tie scene, and, salu.ing the guard
with hearty "good morning, SOL
dierS," was received with q etcptorian
. response. Next came the Grand
Duke Nicholas, who received tho
same greeting, and it now only ro.
manned for the emperor TO arrive,
! which he did in few minutes after
2 o'clock, accompanied by brilliant
staff, among whom was the British
ambassador. So soon as the train had
, entered the station the Duke of I'D
, inburg jumped out and advanced to
the emperor, who gave him smost
( aifcc,iomatc welcome, as did also the
Grand Duke Alexis in turn, the band
meanwhile playing God Save tho
Quocn.' The chief thoroughfa, ca
were gayly decorated with flags,
chiefly Prussian and English. When
the duke arrived at the winter pal
acc he was received by the empress
and Princess Maria, together with
the Imperial household"
With this event the rcigning fami-
ly Of Great Britain will bc allied by
marriage to Russia, Germany, and
Denmark.

Patrons of HuSbandry.

One of the principal objects Of tho
Patrons Of IInshnndry, or tho Gran
gers, as they arc generally known, is
to engage IN cooperative purchasers
of merchandise Of general consump-
tion, somewhat OH tho plan of tho
cooperative stores which have proved
TO successful III Great Britain, deal
ing directly with manufacturers md
wholesale merchants, and thus dis
pcnsing as far as possible with tho
services of the middlemcn. Somo of
tho Western Changers propose tho
incorporation of tho subordinate
Oranges into stock companies with
cash capitals, and tho appointment of
agents to carry on tho business of
buying and selling in wholesale
quantities Mt every county scat whcro
the organization is in operation.
Also, the establishment Of grain clc,
vators and hay presses ut convenient
points for the use Of members of tho
order. This plan is to DO presented
for tho consideration of tho National
Grange at it's next meeting. Tho
public arc aware Of the great pro.
grcss which the Granger organization
has made in the West. In tho East,
however, it has met with less success
from various causes, ono Of tho mo st
apparent Of viii, is tho fact that in
this section Of tho country, and cs.
pccially in the New England, States

tries prcdominatc over tho agricul-
tural interests, Tho originators Of
tho Oranges, approaching the sig
miicnnco of this condition Of things,
and dcsirious of increasing tho power
Of their organizations, havo mado an
important movement for tho cstab-
lishmcnt Of an affiliated association,
and have just organized in Worcester,
Mass, new order to bo called tho
Sovcrcigns Of Industry, Which is to
include in its membership not only
farmers, but all persons identified
with industrial pursuits. Tho or
ganization is q national one, William
II. Earl of Worcester being it's
President and j. G. Abbott General
Deputy Of tho Patrons Of IIusbandry,
its Secretary. Tho avowcd objects
Of the new organization arc the bring.
ing Of consumers and producers into
closer contact in order to reduce tho
cost Of the nccessarios of life the
reduction Of excessive charges for
transportation and tho restriction
of tho powers Of monopolios. 1t is
proposed that agents Of local Granger
organizations in tho West shall ship
houran grain to the agents of tho
now order by tho cargo, receiving in
return tho products of the factories
and workshops in tho East Like
tho Patrons Of Ilusbandry, tho new
order processes no attompt or intend

has observed the important political
results which have followed tho
growth Of the Changers in ihc North
western States can doubt that tho
Sovcrcigns Of Industry, if they gain
any such strength as the former or
der, will make their influence folt at
the polls.

The Taxes.

IN reference to the taxes now as.
scssed Oh property, We will state that
we heard good citizen Of our county
say this week that he had antc.war
tax receipts on tho property now
owned by him for fifteen cents, tho
then tax, while now he pays between
eleven and twelve dollars on the same
property. There has been no now
buildings or other improvements to
account for this groat difference. How
is this for high ?-Kcowcc Courier.

Southern Democracy and Southern Radi-
caliSm.

A great deal has been said about
the relative economy with which
Democratic and Republican States in
the South are governed. In suct
questions general statements carry
with them but little weight. Figures
like those given in the annual mes.
sage of Governor Smith, Of Georgia,
show best the difference between hon.
csty and rascality. Three lines arc
| enough:
Leg. expenses Of fls73 100000 s2ol, 1889
Printing Of 1873, 10000 $50, 600
The great Democratic State of
Georgia, with taxable property
valued at $250,O00,OOO, will only
spend $2,722,S56 this year, which
includes the sum Of 1929 AGO devoted
to the payment Of the public debt and
interest. Robbcr-riddcn South Caro-
lima with taxable property not worth
much more than 100000, is taxed
this year the amount of $4,000, 900,
Of which amount $l7G,956 is promised
to be paid ont in interest, if the hold
crs Of the State b. ads will consent to
give up fifty percent. Of the princi..
pal Of heir securities. The bonds of
Democratic Georgia were readily ne
fotiatcd last year atpar. The bonds
OF South Carolina, with three years
Overdue interest on them, sell ut ten
cents on the dollar. Again, it is said
that Democratic State will not edu.
cate the poor. The State of Georgia
appropriatcs $250,000, to the free
schools, and pays the money. This
supports the schools for three mouths.
Whatever else is required must be,
and is ra,scd by local taxation. One
more comparison between Democratic
honesty and Ring-rule extravaganza
and rasculity The Georgia Uuivcr-
sity costs $4,000 year, and three
hundred and eighteen students ma
tric1,iated in 1878. 1t received
$50 $40 from tuition fees, and SlO,-
23i from il to est on the Agricultural
Land Scrip fund. All that the State
was required to give was $4,000.
The South Carolina University has no
students save few colorcd mem the
Agricultural Land Scrip has been
sold, and not anllar has accrued
thcrefrom to the State, and $4,000
are demanded for the support of the
University for the present year =

Senator Sumner has always en-.
tcrtainod such an antirathy TO the
late Chief Justice fancy that he has
defeated regularly the proposition
place his bust in the Supreme
Court chamber. On Friday, during
his absence from his seat, bill was
brought forward and passed, making
provision for bust Of Chief Justice
Ianoy, and also one of Chief Justice
Chase, which will undoubtedly pass
the House. The Newark (N. J.)
Advertiser says
''Thcrc is really no reason in ethics
why the features of Judge fancy
should not be preserved with those
of his follows in that high Office. No
one hclds that he was other than an
upright judge, howcvor broadly many
Of us may differ from his IDEAS"
WAsmNGroN, Jan, 20. - Tho
nomination Of Morrison II. Waite, of
Ohio, to be Chief Justice Of Supreme
Court. wasa surprise tc Senator'S and
all others about the Capitol The
Senate referred the nomination to
the Committee, who will probably re.
port farorably upon it. Many in
quirics were made as to tho standing
OF this gentleman, he not having n
national reputation, but being the
best Known in the State Of which he
Is Il citizen. The nomination recalled
the fact that he acted As ono of tho
counsel at the Geneva Tribunal of
Arbitration, and somc Of the Senators
were acquainted with him, rs an able
lawyer Of thirty years standing in
Ohio. Although II Republican, he
is not an active partisan, and IS at
the present time President of the
Ohio Constitutional Convention. 1t
was discovered, on looking at tho
Supreme Court record, that IL year
ago Mr.. Waite was, on motion of
Caleb Gushing, admitted to tho bar
of the Court as an attorney, Contra
ry to report, Mr.. Waite never held
judgcship in Ohio. Senators of both
parties speak we'll Of tho nomination
and there seems to DO no doubt Of the
confirmation.
