WHEAT.

NJ. w. Johnson, near Atlanta, has
made an experimental trial of thirty-two
varieties of wheat during the past season,
and gives his opinion in favor of the fol-
lowing varieties, as best adapted to that
locality, viz: Bill Dallas, Fultz, Tappa-
hammock, Red May and White May. OF
these the first named he considers the
surest and largest crop, being rust proof.
The Clamson is large variety of wheat,
and is highly priced by Northern far
mers, but he thinks it is too late to risk
in that climate. We have an undevel.
oped theory that wheat crops would
prove much more profitable in our eli
mate if the seed were procured from
some distant locality, where the season
in which it is lnatured would be a little
shorter than our wheat season. Such a
change of climate would have a tendency
to mature the grain little earlier here.
and possibly escape the rust, which often
proves so fatal to our wheat crops. The
rust being the chief hindrance to our
average wheat crops in this country, if
any measure could be adopted to over
come the difficulty we will have made a
favorable step forward. 1t should be
brought from such locality, North or
South, as will give us the improvement
desired. If brought from too far North,
it comes in later than the native grown
seed if too tar South it would come in
too early and be killed by the late frosts.
I have been told by Tennessee farmer
that the farmers near Knoxville have
tried this theory, and found it worked
we'll. They shipped their seed from
Abingdon, Va, and always realized surer
crops, better yield and finer grain, aid
that it was becoming habit of their far
mers to ship their. seed wheat from that
or some other section likely to secure the
desired improvement. We are sure this
is matter, at least, worthy the attention
of our wheat growers. Perhaps the Bill
Dallas, rust proof might suit our section,
soil and climate. We have thrown out
these crude observations on a very i'm
portant subject more for the purpose of
arresting the attention of farmers than as
a recommendation for adoption.

SMALLS' CASE.

Congressman B. F. Butler, of Massa-
chusetts, alias Beast Butler, or Spoon
Butler, &C., introduced the following
preamble and resolutions in the House,
and it vas unanimously adopted:
"Whereas it appears from telegraphic
statements in the public newspapers that
Robert Smalls, member of this House,
was by the authorities of the State OF
South Carolina arrested on the eve of
starting to attend to his duties as men,
Der of this House for an alleged offence
against the laws of the State of South
Carolina, committed about four years
ago, and before he was elected member
Of this House, and held to answer by
giving bail for his appearance at the
proper court, and that thereafterwards
said Smalls appeared at the bar of this
House and took the prescribed oath and
qualified himself as a member of this
House and then returned to South Caro-
lima to answer according to the tenor OF
his lrecognizance; and whereas it fur
ther appears as aforesaid that said Smalls
is now held in close arrest in Jail under
the orders of the State Court of South
Carolina, so that he is hindered and pre-
vented from appearing in his seat here to
attend to his duties as member of this
House, and that he is absent without
leave of the House: Therefore.
"Be 1t Resolred, That the committee on
the judiciary be, and they are hereby,
authorized and requested to examine into
the parliamentary precedents in such
cases, and report whether there has been
any invasion of the rights and privileges
of this House; whether the detention of
said Smalls is legal and justifable; and
what, if any, action ought to be taken by
the House under the circumstances of
this case, and report thereon forthwith ;
and said committee are further author
lied to send for persons and papers, if in
their Judgment it be necessary to a full
and complete investigation of the matter
committed to them."
Had not this resolution been offered
by the Republicans, the Democrats would
have9 moved to expel Smalls, but the
adoption of the resolution gives them the
opportunity to investigate the case, which
they are now doing, having sent for the
Court record upon which he was con-
victed. There is very little doubt that
the judiciary committee will report that
the proceedings were regular, and the
charge was sustained by the evidence,
with a recommendation that Smalls be
expelled from the House, after which
South Carolina will be entitled to one
more representative in Congress. If the
Senate is willing to encourage bribery by
retaining Patterson, it is not probable
that the House will countenance it by
associating with Smalls.

THE STATE FAIR.

1ne SCate falr IN COlumDla laSG week
was a success beyond the most sanguine
expectation of its most ardent friends.
The exhibition was good one in all the
departments, and was particularly fine in
the needle and fancy work and manufac-
turing departments. The attendance on
Wednesday and Thursday was very large,
and the proceedings of both those days
were unusually interesting.
On Wednesday the invited orators Of
the occasion spoke to about two thou
sand people. Col. Thos. Taylor, the ex-
President, introduced first Hon. H. P.
Kimball, President of the Winnebago
Illinois Agricultural Association, who
delivered one Of the most polished and
elegant orations that we have ever heard.
He was followed by the Southern favor
ite, Hon. q. B. Vance, Governor Of
North Carolina, who entertained his
hearers with one of his inimitable ora
tions, which evoked frequent bursts of
applause from his listeners.
On Thursday the competitive drill
and review was the attraction of the
day, and convened an immense throng
from every part of the State. At
an early hour the companies were
formed on Main street under command
of Brig. Gen. F. NJ. Bamberg, and
marched to the grounds, where they were
dismissed until 12 o'clock, when the con-
test for the military prizes was begun.
The judges in this contest were Lieuts.
G.. NJ. Bomford and j. H. Baldwin, of the
Eighteenth Infantry, US. A., and Lieut.
Granger Adams, of the Fifth Artillery,
US. A. These gentlemen arranged a
special programme which each company
was required to adopt, and which in
cluded the manual of arms and the COM
pany drill in single rank. Each of the
judges kept separate record, and at the
close of the contest made up his average
from his private notes. The averages of
all three were then taken together, and
again averaged, with the following result,
three hundre,,. being the maximum
Richland Volunteers, Columbia, man
ual of arms, score 249, on the drill, 242.
Clark Light Infantry, Augusta, manual
of arms, 275; drill, 266.
Walker Light Guards, Richmond, Va,
manual, !235; drill 26l.
Governors Guard, Columbia, manual,
29O; drill, 292.
The Governors Guard having made
the highest score, were awarded the first
prize, open to the world, s4OO, and the
second prize (local) s10O.
On Friday morning the contest for the
best drilled company in the State, out
side of Charleston and Columbia, came
off. -Four companies competed: The
Newberry Rifles, the Butler Rifemen
from Hodges, the Lee Light Infantry
from Chester, and the Ninety Six Rifles.
The Buffers won the prize by score OF
PIP out of possible 300. Gen. John S.
Preston delivered the prizes, and Capt's.
Thompson and McGhee received them
for their respective companies.
The next thing of interest was the
shooting match, which was off-hand at q
distance of 200 yards. Mr.. Williams, of
the German Fusiliers, of Charleston, was
the successful competitor.
This closed the interesting portion OF
the State Fair, and every one who atten-
ded was delighted with the exhibition
and its management throughout.

loose upon a return of a portion of the

loose upon return of a portion of the
stolen property, would crime be lessened?
We think not, and it seems to us that the
example of releasing official criminals for
portion of their stealings is not calcu-
lated to improve th> public service. 1t
may, however, be said that it was neces--
sary to make State witnesses of these
parties. The reply is that some of the
worst men have been selected as such
witnesses, and too ma: ] of them have
been given this position. Moses, Wood
ruff, Jones, Nash, Lee and others that
have, as it were, been pardoned of their
official sins, form quite formidable
array of the corruptionists. Another
thing thatis not understood by the peo-
pie is the persistent neglect or refusal of
the Committee to summon the celebrated
Timothy Hurley before them az wit
ness. This is very strange, indeed, as
Hurley was one of the prominent lobby
lists during the flush days of Radicalism,
and knows, in all probability, more of
the rascalities of the times than any other
man in South Carolina. 1t is rumored
that Hurley de6es the Committee, and
threatens to tell ON Democrats if he is
examined. Can it be that the Commit
tee are not making full examination OF
the past corruptions? We have not
thought they would spare any one, and
therefore are surprised at their hesitation
about getting Hurley's testimony. If
Democrats are connected with the frauds
of the past they ought to be punished as
much as Republicans. The people of
the State have through their Representa-
tives appointed committee to investi-
gate the past transactions of men con-
nected with public matters, and we want
no whitewashing. "Let no guilty man
escape" is the mandate of the taxpayers
of South Carolina, and they mean it lit
orally and in earnest. When this Com
mittee reports to the Legislature, if it has
not fully carried out the investigation, it
should be continued. We have written
this not as censure upon the Commit
tee, but for the purpose of calling their
attention to the manner in which the in
vestigation is viewed by some of the
straight-out Democrats, who have no idea
of agreeing to anything except thor
ough and complete execution of the
promises made BY the party leaders in
the last canvass.

The State Fair Association will memo
rialize the Legislature of this State at its
approaching session, for assistance by
way of State appropriation to aid the
Association. We trust moderate
amount of aid will be extended, for the
State Fair possesses several features wor-
thy of encouragement, 1t advances the
agricultural and mechanical interests of
the State and annually collects large
numbers of our citizens at the capitol
from all portions of South Carolina and
thereby promotes knowledge of the in
dustries of the various sections of our
State, and an acquaintance between our
people which will, if encouraged, link us
closer together in our views and.actions
upon public questions, and at the same
time improve us socially and industrially,
The public bodies and private individuals
ofSouth Carolina ought to strive to render
our annual State Fairs grand success.

Constitution, as if that was all that was
necessary to reinstate matters. If the
earnest spirit be wanting, no good can
come out of any artificial device. The
question is, Shall fraud be justified by
success? The Republicans now stand
upon that ground. 1t seems to me to be
the duty of all honest men to counteract
this tendency by upholding the great
maxim of law as we'll as of morals, that
fraud spoils everything that it touches.
I trust that as time passes, the impor-
tance of this question will be more ap-
preciated. To me it is of little moment,
as matters of this sort rarely move so
rapidly as the generations of the race ex.
perience change. You are younger and
can hope to do more useful work than
yours, very truly,

The citizens of Abbeville County, at
the suggestion of the Medium, are con-
sidering the propriety Of calling con
vention of the Democratic party of that
County to discuss the public debt, and
instruct their representatives thereon.
The suggestion is capital one, and
might be profitable for this. County also.
We believe in the right of the people to
instruct their representatives on all pub
lie matters, and it is their duty to carry
out such instructions. The payment OF
the Radical debt as it stands ought to be
thoroughly discussed, and as the tax
payers are the parties interested they
ought to decide it for themselves. We
are in favor of an early call for con-
vention for this purpose, and would like
to hear the views of others as to its pro-

WASHINGTON Nov |

WASHINGTON, NOV. 1o.
The Senate Democrats had caucus
this afternoon. The business brought
before the caucus was in reference to the
cases of the South Carolina and Louis
lana Senators. 1t was said that some
thing ought to be determined upon to
defeat, if possible, the apparently de-
termined purpose of the Republicans to
delay action OH the Senatorial cases to
the last moment. Messrs. Spoford,
Eustis and Butler all unite in asking that
their cases be settled, as they say they do
not think it just to keep them in con-
dition of suspense and uncertainty. The
Democratic Senators concur in this opin-
ion, and several suggestions were made
in the caucus as to means which might
be adopted to hasten action. 1t was ad-
mitted, however, that the Republicans,
being in the majority, had it in their
power, if they saw fit to exercise it, to
control the disposition of the cases. The
Democrats may exercise some influence,
and at any rate will put themselves right
before the country by making formal
demand that no unnecessary delay be in
terposed. No positive conclusion was
reached as to any line of action.
Allusion has been made in some quar-
ters to report on South Carolina affairs
which the Senate committee sent to that
State last winter propose to make. From
inquiries made to-day it is deduced that
this report will be made only in certain
contingency, namely, if the case of Mr..
Butler, of South Carolina, is brought be-
fore the Senate for action. The report is
understood to be already drawn up, but
not signed. 1t is devoted to considera-
BILE extent to the Hamburg massacre
affair and the alleged participation of
Mr.. Butler Herewith. Mr.. Cameron, of
Wisconsin, who was the chairman of the
committee, said in response to inquiries
to-day, that in his opinion Mr.. Butler
first went tO Hamburg professionally. but
