him, grandioguently observing that all bis
constituents are equally wronged and-doing
nothing. 1t was as if an imbecile commander
of an army should supinely accept defeat on
the plea that all his countrymen would suffer
as much as he, and that time would bring its
revenges, and justice ultimately prevail.
at is not necessary to retrace the tortuous
path of events during the past six months and
show what should have been done. 1t is
enough to know that nothing was done by
Mr.. Tilden to interrupt the most gigantic and
barefaced conspiracy known to our history.
Cold, feeble, inadequate, he made no more re-
sstance than sheep, and went under without
a struggle, though backed by the conscience
and moral force of the whole country. Such
a man will never be rescuer when danger
threatens, never regain the confidence and de-
votion of the people necessary to leader of a
great cause And when he says, If my voice
could reach throughout our country, and be
heard in our remotest hamlets, would say
be of good cheer, the republic will live, he
evinces painful Inconsistencies of the pa
thos he is uttering. We know the republic
will live, but were its defenders and leaders
in time of peril all like Mr.. Tilden, it would
perish at the first assault Mr.. Tilden can
pass on to oblivion without anxiety. The
people of the hamlets know the duty ola pa
triot as we'll, if not better, than he, and will
do it quite as we'll without his voice as with it.

COTTON BLOOMS.

The first cotton bloom of the season, pre-.
sented at this office, was plucked last Friday
on the plantation of Mr.. A. j. Matthews,
near Glover, on the Chester and Lenoir Rail-
road.
J.C. Conn and j. R. Conn., two industrious
colored men, who cultivate the lands of Mr..
w. J. Rainey, near Blairsville, in the western
part of the county, have shown US some blooms
plucked in their fields last Saturday. For
the past three years these men were the first
to display the "6rst bloom of the season" and
this year they are only one day behind with
their accustomed bloom, for which their en-
plover always gives them prize. Another
thing in their favor is that they advocated
Hampton and good government in the con-
test last fall.
Master George Turner has also brought
some cotton blooms to our office, plucked from
his patch on Allison Creek last Monday.
This little boy, not yet ten years of age, has
nearly an acre in cotton. and does all the
work necessary to its cultivation, except
"breaking the middes." Suppose every little
boy in York county, of Master Georges age,
we're to devote their odd moments to the cul-
tivation of patch of ground, or the produc'

DEMOCRATIC ASSAULT UPON TILDEN.

DEMUChAIlC ASSfUL1 OIVN AAhDENs
The recent speech of Mr.. Tlden, delivered
at the Manhattan Club, has elected very gen.
eral comment throughout the United States.
Perhaps thousand articles have been pub
lished upon the subject, and among them one
of the most remarkable is the following, which
we COPY from the New Orleans Times, a Dem
ocratic journal of conspicuous ability:
$50 swift is the march of events, that the
majority of the voters Of the United States
who voted for Mr.. Tilden and elected him
have now ceased to regard him as counsel
lor. He has passed out of view as man un-
equal to the one great occasion of his life, and
his space in history will be brief paragraph
giving the name of an unsuccessful candidate,
who Immediately afterward fell into the OBJ
scurity allotted to failures. He is not of the
stuff that heroes are made of, and has quit
claimed his right and title to place among
heroic names. =,
"If time ever brings revenges for all the
frauds and trades and treachery by which the
will of the people was overthrown, Tilden will
have no part or lot in the dispeusation of the
retrbution. His recent speech in New York,
had he been man of different mettle, might
have been the winged words of the peoples
champion but, with his record, they are but
sepulchral echoes from which all men turn
with sadness, if not annoyance. L disclalm
any thought of the personal wrong involved
in this trausaction! So he discIalmed in Feb,
ruary. But who could stand in his place and
represent the 4.250,000 of voters who were
defrauded with him? Who can see anything
grand in his waiver of his personal interests
in the matter? Here was leader with a
commission of tremendous import intrusted to

ssEBENEZER ACADEMY"

Allow me through the medium of the En-
oUiRER to call the attention Of the citizens
of York and surrounding counties to the fact
that the above named school, long so favora-
bly, known in the up country, is now again in
full blast, under the efficient management of
Mr.. and Mrs. Strait The school is what is
usually known as linked school," com.
posed of young gentlemen and ladies, boys
and girls. It has been in successful operation
for two SESSIONS and gives great promise Of
permanent usefulness. The schools are en-
tirely separate, being conducted in different
apartments, and the classes only thrown to-
gether at recitation; thus avoiding the one
evil Of having the schools cumbersome and
unmanageable by the classes intermingling,
and securing the real good Of having the
minds of the sexes brought In contact in re-
citation, thereby evoking what is so impor-
tant in education-a laudable ambition.
The second session closed on the 9TH utimo
with public exhibition, at which were pres
ent between 500 and 600 persons. The ex-
hibition consisted of original speeches by the
young men and compositions by the young
ladies-all of which reflected great credit
upon both teachers and taught. The marked
features of their respective essays were pure
English, clear thought and graceful elocu.
ton. Young men are here prepared for any
college they may desire to enter; while the
young ladies, in addition to thorough train.
ing, have the advantages of thorough instruc-
ton in French and music.
The charades and tableaux were COM
plete success, and reflected great credit on the
skill and taste of eur painstaking instructress,
who had the entire management of this de-
partment To all who desire their children
thoroughly drilled, we would commend the
Ebenezer Academy. The "Lewisville string
band" and the Rock Hill violinist were not
unimportant factors in contributing to the
entertainment on this truly pleasant occasion.

RETURNED TO YORKvILLE.

Mr.. Joseph w. Colcock, whose departure
for Texas we recorded about month ago,
has returned to Yorkville. He brings a
gloomy report. Although not absent long
enoug Oh to fully acquaint himself with Texas
affairs, he feels that he has learned enough to
satisfy him. Wheat, corn and cotton all
grow to perfection in Texas; but grass and
grasshoppers are equally thrifty. The former
runs away with the crop, while the latter de-
YOURS everything, from flock of sheep to
tomato plant. He is satisfied that it would
not suit him to farm in Texas, while. unfortu-
nately, Texas is ell exclusively agricultural
State. Jospeaks deprecatingly ofeverything
in Texas except the water, and that he frank
.ly confesses he knows nothing about. he
has fully made up his mind to content him.

s.uts itself than the attractions Of life in

DR., CLOPTON.

By circular received from DR.. j. A. Clop'

he will visit Yorkville during the present
month, on his last tour, and proposes, as here
tofore, to treat certain diseases which he has
made specially since 1850. DR.. Clopton Is
we'll known throughout the South, and to his
we'll earned reputation as scientific and sue,
cessful practitioner, single word from US
would be superAuous. He has thousands OF
testimonials of remarkable cures, and as his
practice cannot be classed under the head of
charlatanism, we have no hesitation in recon-
mendinp him to the afflicted.

COUNTY TAXES.

The County Auditor has completed the tax
duplicates under the levy authorized by the
act of the special session of the Legislature.
The total amount of the taxes in York county,
under this levy, is $61, ,56s.2O. On the same
assessments, the total taxation, as made up
for collection last winter. under the Chamber
lain government, amounted to slO2,375 20.
From these figures it will be seen that under

one of the best crops for the least money, grown
You do not do It, This Milet Seed can be sown
until the lst of August, and nine times out ten,
you will be paid over one hundred per cont, for
the amount invested. 1t is not the profit we de-
rive from the sale of the Mlet, that we persist in
your buying it. Gentlemen, our reason for ad-
vertising and advocating this thing is to relieve
men of paying out 80 much money for long forage
for stock during the cold, rainy months of win
ter 1t does not matter to US what it costs Mr..
Jones, Mr.. Smith or Mr.. Davis to feed his horse.
But it concerns US and is consolation to know
that we or any one else who owns stock can feed
that stock at less expense by raising Millet Hay.
Some do not believe what we advertise. We can
prove, by living witnesses, to-day, all we have
said in regard to Millet Hay. If time lasts long
enough, your scepticism will vanish like smoke
from the hill tops. Now is the time to sow it.
Do not put it off, and after you see your neighbor
