THE SCARCITY OF GOOD BEEF EX
Planned.
Columbia Hertld and Mail

OolAlluAA AAGA anu AAoAts
We oflen hear the question asked, "Why
don't our butchers furnish us first-class
article Of beef2' We have the finest beef
raising country in America, and yet we
have no beef ft 10 eat. Why is this thus?
The answer to the question is simple and
pointed: The people want TO bur low
priced beef, and the butchers have to rely
on beef raised on grass, which never of it
self makes GOOD beef. When Maj. Harlan
or Col. Wade stall-feed beef until it is fit
for an Englishman to eat, they have to send
it to New York or some other large city
where it commands the highest market
price, in order to get pay for their trouble
and expense; they find no market for it at
home. Rev. Geo. Beckett is trying 10
remedy this condition Of things, and we
trust he will succeed. If fifty or more
heads of families will meet together and
demand good beef, and agree to pay a
proper price for it, a revolution viii soon
be effected,

WE learn that some parties propose start
ing rolling mill in our city, conditionally
that $4,000 will be subscribed by the citi-
zens, and to which they will add 100000
more. While we would like very much to
see such an enterprise in our midst, we do
not think in the present stringent financial
condition Of our people that the sum pro-
posed can be raised in our county at pre-
sent. 1t may be that year Of prosperity
and good crops may enable our citizens to
raise that sum, but just at the present time
We believe the ''meat and bread enterprise"
is UppermoSt in the minds Of our people,
and until this problem is satisfactorily set
tied, for year to come they cannot be in
duced to invest their spare dollars in any
enterprise, no matter what inducements
are offered or dividends promised.-M1lr-

A BAD State Of Affairs In Stone County.
ST. LOUIS, March 27.-Adyices from Ga
lena, Stone county, No., say that one night
last week the courthouse at that place was
entered and criminal indictments against
several persons distracted therefrom. The
Sheriff in attempting to arrest the persons
supposed to have been connected with the
affair, was confronted By an organized
force, and after several shots had been fred
and one man killed, was compelled to re-
treat. AT last accounts the Sheriff had a
force Of thirty-fve men on one side Of the
James river, while his opponents were on
the other bank, and collision was ex-
peeted any moment.
Murder, Robbery aud Burning.
On last Tuesday it was discovered that

ruins, the charred remains Of the old map
were found. Ii being known that the old
man had a considerable sum O. money,
suspicious of foul play were aroused and a
worthless fellow named Sayres, who was
spending a good deal Of money in Trenton,
was arrested and confessed that he and two
other men named Phillips and COrnwell
went to the house Monday night, knocked
Evans down, beat him with a club, plum
dered the house of money and other val
uables, and then fired il. Phillips and
Cornwell were arrested, and threats of
lynching were freely made, but the Jail is
strongly guarded, and the prisoners will
probably be protected from mob violence,

TAYLOR DOES NOT BELIEVE 1T.

sGov. Taylor" says the News, "does
..not believe that he is defeated by n
majority OF the legal voters of the
estate. That is very natura'-a great
many men have been in the same pre-
dicament before; they could not under
stand that majority Of the people did
not hold them in as high estimation as
they did themselves. We are further
informed, by the above named organ,
that the Governor has caused investiga-
ton to be made, and if he finds fraud
sufficient to overthrow Lldington's ma
iority he will attempt to enforce his
rights in court, and secure the punish
ment of the wrong doors.
That's right, and we bid him speed,
and suggest that, while he is at the work
of investigation, he inquire into the
manner in which Democrats were elected
to the Assembly in the 1st districts of
Dodge and Iowa counties. Ii report be
true Republicans were honestly elected
in both these districts, and were defeated
by the canvassers throwing out Repnb-
lican votes. In the former district two
Democratic ballots were found stuck
together with ink, making one ballot
too many, but instead of throwing out
these ballots, as the law requires, the
Democratic inspectors drew out two
ballots, which proved Republican, and
thus the Republican candidate, Hay
hurst, was defeated by one majority. in
the Iowa county case, two Republlcan
ballots were thrown out because they
did not contain the full christian name
Of the candidate. The candidates name
was Joseph Bennett, and one of the bal
| lots contained simply the name Bennett,
and the other j. Bennett. There were,
it is said, several Illegal votes cast fol
the Democratic candidate, whose major
ity after this manipulation was only 2
These seats will probably be contested
