with a great round Of applause, which lasted en-
Enthusiastically for several minutes His remarks

ground of the old Republican party for the purpose
Of securing a Republican victory. EX-Gov. a. i.
Morrill, spoke in favor of commendatlon OF the
P1csideutaud David I. Davis and others against 1t.
Mr. Blaine moved To lay both resolutions on the
fable and this was then carried by a rOusing vote

BLAINE, AND HONEST JoHN.-Ilow unfortunate
these railroad jobs are to Republican statesmen
How recent is the sad fate Of that model of
goodness and grace, Schuyler Colfax-how his
lies and tricks found him out and how he is now
out in the cold with mono to do him reverence
except Young Mems Christian Associations, and
few Of the kind that believe in Henry Ward
Beeoher. He came near being President, too
would have got the next nomination of tho Re-
publican party but for the premature exposure
that blightsd his blooming prospects. There
was Fremont, another Republican favorite son.
He came nearer being President. lie got the
nomination but the party could not poll votes
enough to seat him, and at that early day had
not learned the counting in trick. He got a
sentence Of condemnation from French court
for putting forged and fraudulent abroad bonds
upon the market, and if he ever sets foot in
France he will have to serve out his time within
prisons walls.
And there is the favorite son of Maine He,
too, got into trouble about railroad bonds, and
had to steal the papers which convicted him of
malfeasance in Office from Mulligsn, after beg
ging Mulligan on his bended knees to spare him
and his innocent family.

If the farmer persists in selling off his
crops, or anything that is made from his
crops, as beef, pork, butter, cheese, the soil
must be constantly growing poorer in inor-
ganic elements, unless fertilizers outside the
farm are procured and substituted for the
elements removed, for when we sell any pro.
duct Of the farm we sell part of the soil,
not enough, perhaps, in a single pound or
ton of anything to sensibly diminish the
quantity lett, but enough that the aggregate
in few years may render the field aud farm
barren. 1t is like an individual picking his
own pocket for the sake of getting money
to spend.

South CARoLINA's QUoTA OF ARMS FOR FonTY
YEARS, FURNISHED TO THE NEGRoEs.--Wa Washing
ton, September a-Governor Hampton went
away from this city without being able to secure
any government arms for his State militia. The
critics who cried out at Hampton's coming here
to secure arms for what they pleased to call the
White League, will have to change their tone.
When Hampton made application it was thought
that his State was entitled to large num-
Der Of arms. The militia companies in his
State are not able to arm themselves hence the
application. On examining at the War Depart
ment the astounding discovery was made that
South Carolina has already received an advance
OF all arms to which II is entitled for forty years
to come. II was also discovered that this extra
ordinary issue Of arms came through Don Cam
erons who, satfhs instance of Honest John Pat.
9ceeo6ErAn( 9<1oaof arms into South Carolina
fer the m6S ING negroes only. This was done
last fall when the Camerons and Chanllers were
crying out 50 loudly at the dangers arising from
the presence Of the White Leaguers In South
Carolina. This when tho negroes had twenty
stands Of arms to one of the whites. Besides
this great issue Of arms, it will be remembered
that large body Of troops was ordered into
South Carolina. Everything was done that
could be done here to precipitate o color-line
night, but the patience and ooolness Of Governor
Hampton and his people frustrated this we'll
laid plan. Governor Hampton goes back with
out any arms for his State, but he is satisfied
with the reason as IL will help explain to the
public the extreme means adopted by the ad-
ministration people towsrde the South.--New
