The Fair.

The Agricultural and Mechanical
Fair will be held in Columbia on the
18th, 14th, 10Th and 10th Of Novem-
ber next. Active efforts are making
to ensure it's success. That previous
exhibitions have been financial fail,
ures is undeniable, but tho cause lay
both in the depression of the country
attendant upon the panic, and in the
horribfe political condition of the
State, which paralyzed every indus
try and destroyed all hope of the
future. The latter embarrassing
cause has been removed. The form :
or, let us hope is also diminishing
Nothing will aid more to revive q
spirit of energy in developing our
material resources than successful
exhibition of the products of the
State: and tho bringing together of
agricllltarists and mechanics from
different sections. '1'
While, however, the main object
OF the Fairlis to develop the mate
rial interests of the country, another
important function it should exer~
oise is that Of bringing the people
together, In former days the South
Caroina College, Ind the annual
session of tho Legislature exercised
n powerful influence in expanding the
views Of the people. These indu~
ences will soon again be at work.
But they are not sufficient to COM
pensate for tho big ghting effects OF
the dark days OF RaGcalism when
the intelligence and decenoy Of the
State had no common resort. Ours
ing that poriod the State went
backward in public spirit, and Soc
tionalism and local prejudice, We're
developed, We fear, to q large oxtent
The assembling of the young peo-
pie. especially, from tho entire State,
at the annual Fair in Columbia, is
q most important feature; and any
means that will effect this, should be
employed ,r,,I ,,a
For this reason we are inclined to
view with favor even the much de-
nounced introduction of racing, If
that amusement be kept within
proper bounds. That, of course,
should not be made the main feature
Of the Fair, But tho introduction
Of few races every afternoon for
moderate purses, can do no harm.
Regulations can be easily passed
tobidddiing Upoots9lling and open
betting on the, y grounds. Those
who are interested solely in tho Fair,
can have ample opportunity to ex-
amino the exhibits. As 4 former
presidentof the society we'll said,
they are not compelled to view the
races" A high board fenoe separates
the ground from the course, and it
costs extra money to visit the latter.
But is useless to conceal the fact
that large number of ladies' and
gentlemen attend the Fair only in
pursuit Of pleasure, and they are
not interested In taking more than
casual glance at mammoth pota-
toes, gigantic swine or patchwork
quilts Of marvellous pattern. Yet
their eAatgra entrance money is just as 90

Engineer. Discharged.

The Erie Observer says: "The
Lake Shore Railroad Company have
discharged sixteen engineers-eight
each from the Buffalo and Erie divi-
sions-avowedly for attending meet
ings in which the subjects of demand
ing higher wages and more liberal
arrangements were discussed. The
men allege that they have been dis
missed in revenge for taking part in
the strike, but the railroad officials
deny any motives of the kind. They
are willing, they say, to forgive and
forget everythingin connection with
the strike, but they propose to guard
against combinations to interfere
with their business in future. 1t is
understood that all parties who man
ifest a purpose to indulge in revolts
against the management of the road
will be instantly discharged, and ru-
mors of other dismissals have been
current for a week or so.

incoherence. He finds that the
clear way to the revival of indust-
ries and the material property OF
the country, depends not upon him
or any other member, perhaps, but
upon some compromise plan, that
has never been fully portrayed on
the brain of any one of the assem-
bled wisdom of the nation.
1t will be with pain, oftentimes
with chagrin, that our Solon finds
himself snubbed in committee, or
denied opportunity in council and
he will believe that the financial

has at least been imperiled by his
lack of opportunity. Resumption

for just as was the magician's, cask-

be empty. No greater blessing
could befall the nation than if, for
once in our history Congress should
confne itself to the duties of the
hour. Necessities, and grave ones,
have arisen requiring legislative con-
vention at this time. Our needs are
few and plain, and the Presidential
message is explicit in its pres
entation. Let these be grappled
with and disposed of speedily and
wisely, without buneomb, and with
none of the tinkering which seems
to be so indispensable to Congress
ional action. This accomplished,
the country will breathe a sigh of
relief, and will give to the chap
lain's benediction a far heartier
amen than to the grace sought at
the opening.

1t is not little amusing to hear
the grave and multifarious reasons
given for the Republican defeat in
this State at the last election. Those
of greenback proclivities are conf
dent that the Republican endorse
ment of hard money, was fatal to
the party. Others, that it was civil
service that undermined the party
foundations; and others that it was
the Southern policy; while some are
of the opinion that the Working
mems movement was the volcanic
element that caused the upheaval.
1t is not unlikely that all these ques'
tiOns had some bearing in producing
the result. Then some, not caring
to enter into abstruse speculation as
to cause and effect, on general prin-
ciples seem to arrive at the conclu-
sion that the Republicans were de-
feated because they did not get in
enough votes. To the average pat
riot this doubtless looks plausible.
However we may argue on this
point, this fact cannot be evaded,
that the public mind to considera-
bic degree was apathetic, and this
accounts for the light vote ,polled.
But there is question back of this,
and that is, what produced the ap-
Pathy? The course of the Presi-
dent in laying down a programme
SO novel to Republican sentiment
and too long years of practice with
both parties, threw the party into
state of mind not favorable for form
ing conclusions, or for clear or in
telligent action. Results could not
be forseen and measured, and though
no one was bold enough to doubt
the honesty and integrity of the
President, the outcome of these
new measures, counseled respectful
Difference towards the policy, and
reticence and patience were resorted
to. In this state of mind the cleo
ton found the voters. Many are
still in allegiance, and waiting the
course of events. Is it singular,
then, that many failed to go to the
polls?-that there should have
been light vote cast, and that our
opponent should have snatched the
palm of victory? 1t seems not,
and these conclusions, TO our mind,
cannot be fairly controverted.

President Hayes recently held a
council with several Indian chiefs at
Washington. The warriors, who
were nearly all of the Sioux tribe,
were received at the White House
and made there speeches, after the
Indian style of oratory. The parti.
cular matter to be settled was wheth-
er they should be removed from their
present reservation to the Upper
Missouri River Country or the In
dian Territory. The chiefs express
ed unanimous desire not to change
their location, but to remain and be
provided with all the means and i'm
plements of civilization, the request
being based on the treaty provisions
of 1868 and 1869, which gave the
tribe the right to select good. agri-
cultural lands, and pledged govern
ment aid IN selecting them. But the
old complaint comes up again-which
ought to put us to the blush-that
the treaty is not observed, and that
the Writes are pushing in on all sides
and crowding the red man out, re-
gardless of treaty stipulations.

The election in France on Sunday
last-elections there are generally
he'd on Sunday-resulted in a dis
appointment to the government.
The Marshal was confident of a
greater change in his favor. A
gain of 40 votes was effected, but
the Republicans-opponents of the
empire-have still a good working
majority. The general result is es-
timated to be about 800 seats for
the Republicans, and 2lO for the
ministry. In the last Chamber, Re-
publicans numbered 500 and their
opponents 17S. The election was
carried out in quiet.

The tone of the State papers while
alluding to the overwhelming de-
feat of the free banking amendment,
is evidence of clear sightedness and
common sense upon the causes of
the defeat. The conclusion is much
in the spirit of the conclusion given
IN the TELEGRAPH last week 1t
was not because public sentiment
was against it but because there
was no instructed public sentiment on
the subject. This is the reason of
the SO frequent defeat of proposed
amendments.

Judge Davis may feel a little
lonely in the Senate Chamber, with
the two parties holding their eau
cuses outside, but bis action in
holding aloof from the Democratic
caucus, to which he would seem
most naturally to belong, will in
crease the respect in which he is al
ready held as an independent man,
and may make his vote of great
Importance. An independent Sena-
tor, who asserts that he was elec-

represented in the Legislature, and
not by either party, is a novelty at

1t is noted by the press, as a sig
nlhcant coincidence-a fact as it is
called, of the rise in gold of about
one per cent. on the eve of the
special session of Congress, brought
together for the purpose of provi-
ding the ways and means for meet
ing the pressing demands of the
country. Wall street operators
seem to understand this, for they
have learned to look upon the gath
ering of the law makers of the coun-
try, as all occasion for ibis kind of
influence. Opportunities for "turns, +"
and sometimes rather sudden, upon
exchange is calculated upon for
gains According to the language
OF one of the Wall St. spectators,
"Congress is sure TO make an ass of
itself somehow, and then comes our
chance" Other openings of ses
sions have become witness to this
state of things, and the present ap-
pears not likely to be an exception
to the rule. About every congress
man goes to the work of legislation
charged with some theory that has
been evolved among the fnanciers
of his village, or picked up in his
summer saunterings; and it becomes
his ambition to crystalline his pet
theory, upon the pages of the stat
utes of the country. But when he
comes to ventilate bis pet scheme,
he finds that there are about as
many such schemes as there are
members, and ali is confusion and

WASHINGTON. Oct. Is. 1877.
Free Trade what IL Produces.

Free trade has but one sole OBJ
ject and that is to allow foreign
manufacturers to compete on equal
terms with American manufacturers
in American markets. This in-
wolves the raising by direct taxation
of the national revenue that is now
raised by duties on imports, and all
equalization of the price of labor in
this country and Europe. Even
with the apparently reliable start
our iron, cotton, and wooden indus
tries have at the present time, it is
doubtful whether, under a reign of
free trade, they would contest the
field with the foreign manufacturers.
The two items of labor and capi
tai, that constitute the great pro
portion of cost in manufactures,
will not come down to the Euro
pean standard. There is that differ
ence between an old, thickly-settled,
and circumscribed State,a a new,
arsly-lnhabited, and broadly-ex-
tended country, where every man
may become a landholder and tiller
of the soil whenever he chooses or
necessity compels. In Europe, cap
ital is worth one or two per cent.
per annum; in this country it is
worth ten or twelve per cent. per
annum. The British manufacturer,
if he found it necessary to flood the
American market for one, two or
three years without profit for the
purpose of crippling American man
ufacturers, and compelling them to
suspend operations, could do it at
half or one-third the expense the lat
ter could carry their stock even for
one year. With the American in
dustries shut up and destroyed, the
foreign manufacturer could do as
he has frequently done before,
charge such a price as would fully
indemnify him for previous conces-
sions. All this would involve the
bankruptcy and ruin thousands of
mechanics, artisans and others, who
have invested their all in these in
dustrles, under the implied guaran-
tee that the policy of the Govern
ment would not be changed for
some years TO come, at least.
