There is no subject more worthy of
careful consideration than the encour-
agement and improvement Of agriculture
in South Carolina. This should not only
engage the attention of individuals aad
public spirited men, but the Legislature
should also think about, and legis ste
with a view to it. Our people have an
exhaustless amount of prosperity in their
climate and soil which should be utilized
and enjoyed. The advancement of the
interests of this occupation, which is by
far the most important to our people, can
be greatly furthered at this time, we be-
lieve, by the expenditure of moderate
sum by the State in the way of bounties
for the best production of the various
crops. This might be easily, efficiently
and cheaply done through the State Fair
Association, and would. both assist the
Fair and benefit the farmers of our State.
For instance, if a royalty of two or three
hundred dollars every year were offered
for the.largest yield, and best quality of
tea grown upon an acre of land there is
very little doubt that it would stimulate
the introduction and cultivation of this
crop, which can be made very profta-
bic growth with US. By a similar offer
the culture of indigo would be revived
and become the source of vast revenue
in the future as it has been in the past.
Other new crops would be brought in,
and our present ones greatly improved.
Our system of agriculture would be
greatly advanced, and the expenditure
of FIVE or ten. thousand dollars every
year blythe State in this way would pay
back ten and in some cases hundred
times the amount expended as a royalty.
We sould like to see this subject dis
cussed by our Legislature, and the sug-
gestion put into operation on a small
scale, at least as an experiment.

The Investigating Committee, consist
ing of five members, has been in session
since the last adjournment of the Legis-
lature, and has accomplished the enor-
nous feat of securing the conviction of
three public plunderers, who every per-
son believed to be guilty before the in
vestigation began. 1t is true that they
have secured the resignation of several
Senators and Representatives, and also
secured several thousand dollars from
some of the culprits, but we think the
people have cause to be dissatisfied if
they do not proceed further. For them
to allow public thieves immunity for a
portion of what they have stolen is not
right in itself, and is not calculated to
advance the morality of the State. We
cannot see why an official rogue should
be any more tenderly dealt with than a
private thief, and yet the law makes it a
crime for any one to compound felony
for money, but the Committee has ab-
solved Nash from prosecution for six
thousand dollars, and Jones and Wood
ruff for larger sum, while all of these
parties have fraudulently obtained from
the State treasury many times as much
as they have returned to the State. We
have no desire to see these public robbers
prosecuted. We are sorry for their
crimes, but we belje"ethat justice should
be impartial, and that the official thief
who steals for the purpose of riotous liv-
ing and pompous display, should be as
severely punished as the humber robber
who takes to supply the cravings of his
appetite or to keep clothes upon his
body. If these men are guilty they
should be punished. The acceptance OF
q portion of their pilferings in satisfac-
ton of their crime is a mockery of JUS
tice and an insult to our people. Sup
pose the Courts should turn petty thieves

of corn from one acre of land, without

FRAUD IN POLITICS.
A Strong Letter from Charles Francis
Adams.

The Hon. Charles Francis Adams has
written, under date of November 5, a let
ter to Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer,
of New York, in which he says:
"The moral effect upon the public
mind of SUCCESS in elections through the
agency of fraud, as exemplifed in the
last election, ought to. be counteracted
with the greatest vigor, or else both sides
will be sure to concentrate all their pow
ers upon the art Of cheating as the great
instrument for triumph. 1t does no
credit to the Republican party that it has
not instituted an honest investigation of
the facts of the case last year. Their
stunning allusion to the matter betrays
their sense of its truth.
Yet there appears to be languid
movement toward an amendment OF the

The tide of victory in the European
war seems still to flow in favor of the in
vading Russians. On last Saturday a
desperate assault was begun by the Rus
slams under General Lazeref, and the
Grand Duke Michael, upon the fortified
city of Kars. in Asiatic Turkey, and after
days desperate and bloody fighting, on
Sunday morning, the Turks either sur
rendered or fed, leaving the Russians in
undisputed possession. The flying Turks
were subsequently captured and brought
back. The Russian forces numbered
about $4,000 and the Turks the same, and
at the end of the fight the casualties
stood, Turks killed 5000, captured 10000.
Russians killed and wounded, 2,700.
Thus it will be seen how complete the
Russian victory was. The position gained
by the Russians is very important one,
as it allows their forces to pass on to
,ErZeroum without further opposition.
The fighting at this point will no doubt
be more severe than at Kars, but to pro-
tect it the Sultan will have to withdraw
forces from around Plevna, which will
weaken his army at that point. The
Russians are preparing to reinforce their
armies and it is highly probable that the
war will be terminated this winter. Tur-
key wants peace, and England is said to
desire the war to be ended, and hence it
is possible treaty may be negotiated.
If not, the Gar seems determined to
make peace by destroying the Mohome-
dan power.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.

The Legislature convenes on next
Tuesday. The session will be one of the
most important that has ever been held
in South Carolina, and we hope modera-
ton and patriotism will rule the conduct
of all Democrats, so that harmony may
prevail, and the public interests be prop
erly cared for. The gravest question
which will come before the body is, be-
yond doubt, the settlement of the pub
lie debt, which requires the calmest and
most mature deliberation to prevent the
adoption of extreme legislation either tor
or against. 1t is not yet known what the
financial committee will report, and until
that report is made any discussion of this
important subject will necessarily be in
complete; but it should be kept before
the people that the persons who have the
fraudulent bonds of the State are en-
deavoring, with fair prospect Of success,
to induce the Democratic party of South
Carolina to accept as final the consolida-
ton act, which was passed by the Moses
administration. This would fasten the
debt upon us irrevocably, and therefore
we hope our legislators will be slow to
accede to such unreasonable demands.
No portion Of the debt created by the
Radicals should be paid, unless it was
clearly created in good faith and expen-
ded for the public good. Persons who
bought the bonds issued by these public
plunderers did so knowing full we'll that
they were giving their money to help
sustain thieving government, and went
into it as a. speculation for their own
profit, and not for the good of the people
of South Carolina. BY thus linking
their fortunes with the notorious corrup-
ton of the infamous State government
with which we were cursed they, through
the bonds they purchased, partook of
this corruption, and when it falls, as it
has done, into obloquy the portion of it
which they represent should also be OBJ
liberated. In other words, if they were
indiscreet enough to purchase bonds that
were issued by the public plunderers for
their own gain and not for the public
necessities, they ought to suffer the pen
atty of their indiscretion. Justice re-
uuires that the consolidated bonds be
examined into, and that all which repre-
sent bonds issued and expended for the
public necessities shall be paid, while all
that represent the Indebtedness created
by the ring for plunder shall be ignored.
We do not favor extremes. To repudi-
ate all would be unjust, while to pay ali
would be more unjust. The legitimate
debt ought to be paid, and that which is
fraudulent should be ignored.

eighteen years old. Ithsd apparent

The business Of the men il the skiff
being still further up the river, and
the body being II an out-Of-the-way
place, the best they could do was 10
free It from its stationary position and
let it float on down the river, that per-
chance, some kind hand might rescue
and bury It. The face and form of
the corpse was so disfigured and swol-
len that features and com pIexiOn
could not be described II had on Of
clothing only q short undeFskirt, and
a striped plaid polonaise or tunic-
Soon after the body had been set
afioat agzin it was discovered, We un-
derstand, by some parties q few miles
above Peru, and buried. Some weeks
ago We had an item regarding the
drowning OF two young lsdies-Mi=s
Lydia Rhodes and Miss Hickman
in the ElkhOrn river near West Point.
The body Of Mss Hickman was only
recovered, and this it may be WIS the
body of Miss Rhodes. NJ ConkIing,
the operator here, answered q dis
patch q few days ago making inquiry
about the body found here. He gave
all the particulars be had regarding
the matter, bat has not yet learned
whether the Information he gave was
zuffi -ient TO justify the friends Of Miss
Rhodes il the belief that it was her
body.
Since writing the above there has
been sufficient evidence obtained 10

body was that OF Lydis Rhodes.
