almost rs old rs the hills, TINT lie who
produces two blades Of grass where
one grew before was public bene-
factor; how much more SO must it be
to produce two bushels of corn and
two bales Of cotton where but one
grew before? This has been done,
and why cannot it be done more
generally?
Now, Mr.. Editor, whaV am driv-
ing ut is this I want our farmers to
make experiments i'll the several pro-
ductions Of their farms. Their mode
of manuring, planting and after cult
vation, and let the results be pub
lishcd i'll your valuable paper.
Offer the farmer q place in your
columns Urge him to give his
views and experience no matter
how crude, you can pat them in shapa.
There is no unc who tills the soil, be
he ever SO deficient, but has some
useful knowledge, which if impaired
would be Of public benefit. I, Mr.. Edi
tor, (and who has not,) have appre-
ciatcd and utilized a great many useful
hints which | have gathered from the
unlettcrcd colorcl man. I never
knew man or woman, be they ever
so ignorant, from whom | have not
cleaned some useful practical knowl-
edge.
Again, the Old OrAngeburg Socic-

being mcmbcr) meets quarterly. II

not desire to PREJUDICE any claim that
you may be asserting i'll the courts,
his opinion Of the futility Of your as
scrtions to have been legally elected
to the Office Of Attorney General has
been indicated by his recognizing and
commissioning Mr.. Connor, your op-
ponent, when The necessities of the
government required him to decide.
1t would disem barrass the operation
Of the Executive Department, Of
which he is now in the undisputed
charg c, for you to turn over the re-
cords and papers OF office Of Attor-
ney General to Mr.. Connor, subject,
if you desire it, to the decision Of the
courts, crcaftcr to be made.
He begs leave, however, to inform
you, i'll the event Of your declining to
take this course, that he sees nothing
i'll your present position emitting you
to the use Of the rooms and custody
of the records Of the office referred to,
aud that he cannot consent to it.
His sibility for the proper

Wade II. 4Nun"i"y, Esq, Plcaie
,Sccctury.
SIR: After comforting fully with
each other, We have concluded to
reply jointly to the communications
addressed to lis by you on the 14th
instant, rs comparison of their con-
tents indicates that the subjcct-mat
ters Of each are varied only to tn,
extent Of their personal applicable
ty.
On the 7th day Of November ast
we were legally elected to the scvc-
raj offices thc functions Of W hich We
now respectively exercise. Or this
fact We were duly appriscd by the
State Board Of Canvas :crs, wh o
alone we're competent by law to de-
termc the result of the election.
Upon receipt Of lhe notification to
that effect, through the legal chan
mel, we qualified by executing the
necessary bond asnd taking Tie oath
of Office, and we're thcrcupon com
missioned by the then undisputcd
Executive Of the State, Having
thus complied with all the requisi-
tions Of the law on the subject, we en-
tered upon the discharge Of Our du-
ties and the enjoyment Of our rights
as officers Of the State.
Subsequently,, the contest for the
possession of our Offices we're made
by those to whom wc had respectively
hceu opposed as candidates for cleo
ton, and proceedings i'll quo varran'o
were begun i'll the Supreme Court Of
the State to test the validity of our
titles TO such Offices. No Judicial
determination Of the matters in con
trovcrscy has yet been reached, and
until such determination is had, we
can conceive Of no reason, of law ol
fact, which would justify us in com
plying with the wishes Of the Govern
or, rs indicatad in your communica
ton. We nrc in no sense claimants
for the various Offices which We Gill
We are lawful posses sors, and are i'll
court not to seek TO have or title:
granted, but to maintain them against
those who, rs plaintiffs are asking
that We should be oustcd. In thi:
phase of the cusc-and it is The OH i,
one which can be Pre- pcrly presented
to the Govcrnor-it would be Il lcga
absurdity .or us to voluntarily shift
positions with our contestants, ana
would result, logically, i'll a complct,
uban donmcnt Of our rights. w
therefore, respectfully decline t.
comply with the request indicated by
the Governor.
We arc not inscnsiblc to the fac
that it is physically competent for til,
Governor to carry his wishes into c
feet by excluding us from access tt
our Offices and their records. Wills
we shall make no resistance to such {
process rs that, should he dctcrmin
to institute it, we trust that the same
sense of responsibility for the pro

which he pleads i'll advance rs :
