Three colored men owned that they were
afraid to vote the Democratic ticket because

intimidation has been practiced all over the

to work up the colored vote, for number
of votes. Hin influence was used for Car
peuter,: but the votes were cast for Aiken.

Anderson County has come up nobly in
the movement for South Carolina's redemp-
ton. The vote on last Tuesday places her
in the van of the Democracy Of South Car
olina. The majority is beyond the expecta-
ton of the most sanguine. and shows the
result Of the thorough canvass which has
been made.

MEssRs. EDITORS: How popular is the
opinion among Southern people that an
article cannot be Of very much value if not
brought from distance, and particularly is
this SO with the farmers. We talk very loud
about thoroughbred horses and cattle, and
dwell considerably on ther point. where
they are imported from, &c.. and hence
many. young farmers are led to purchase
stock at fancy prices when equally as good
an5article could have been brought at home
forsiess money. What want to say is this:
LIE farmer wishes to invest in both fine and
rood stock he must certainly be a judge Of
.,inuch stock, andsnot buy for instance a
thoroughbred cow of any breed, unless he
lnows that she does possess two qualities,
Iiz-quantity of milk and quality. see
iEom the RurdT Cdrolinian {November num-
;er) that on the celebrated farm Of Mr..
-yourg, of Pennsylvania, that in herd Of
seventy Jersey cows his pet cow, Imported
direct from the Jersey isles) at cost of FIVE
hundred in gold, gives him thirty-two quarts
s:aiiy, and the best record in the United
States OF yield OF butter for one week from
one cow is seventeen pounds. These are
fine results, and we think such cannot be
accomplished in South Carolina or even ap-
proximated; but on the 9th October, at our
County Fair, one of my cows gave me over
thirteen quarts Of dry milk at one milking,
and in less than one hour from the time it
was drawn from the COW had manufac-
tured two and half or two and three quar-
ter pounds Of butter, (the same was placed
on exhibition.) The milk was then turned
over to Mrs. N. A. McCully with request
to re-churn on the morning Of the 2Sth,
which she did, and from the same milk
there was taken one and half pounds more
of good butter accurately weighed. Thus
YOU see that the capacity of this COW pes

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRlBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The Democrats OF the
House could not to-day prevent investigation of
Mr.. Hewitts accusation against the New-York
Post Office though they ordered it with bad grace
and sent the matter to a committee which cannot
care for it, The Cox committee now in New-York
has probably about all it can attend to without in
vestigating the Post-ofice.
Mr.. Hewitts mistake in not calling the immediate
attention of the Post-Oee officials to the matter as
soon as he had cause TO suspect that his letters were
opened. is forcibly shown by the experience OF an
other Democratic member from New-York City.
Inst before the close of the campaign, two years
as. he caused to be deposited in the New-York Post
Office several thousand circulars which were not de-
lvered until after the election. Some time subse-
ouently he happened to meet POstmaster-General
Jewell socially and incidentally mentioned the fact
to him. Mr.. Jewell at once caused an investigation
10 be made. The guilty persons were discovered
and dismissed.
Mr.. Hewitt spoke in the highest terms to-day OF
Postmaster James, and said he hoped that
whatever changes there might be in the political
control of the country, there would be no change
which would result in his removal.
