A TEST OF WIFELY SUBMIssIoN.-The late
Chief Justice Chases mother once Dor her
part IN a little comedy which ws almost
Shakspearean. With her husband she was
visiting two of his brothers, who were also
married. The three gentlemen sitting and
talking together, made some playful wagers
on the subject of their wives tempers, and
agreed to test them. &c. walking into the
room where the three ladies were seated at
the fireside making caps, which at that
time were fashionable, the trial began. The
first brother, after some sighting remarks
concerning caps in general, and his wife's
handiwork in particular, commanded her
to "throw it in the fire." Naturally the in
dgnant lady paid small attention to the
order The next brother sattempt met with
the same result; butn sooner did the Chief
Justices father command his wife to toss
the cap into the fire, than the cap went
into the flames; and in the most prompt
sweet and serene manner. 1t may, per-
haps, be unnecessary to add that, of the
three husbands, he was the most thorough
.ly well managed.

A Stolen State 4?

Ex-Governor Mo Sos tells the New
FORK Sun that the Board Of State
Canvasscrs Counted out" the Tillen
Electors in South Carolina, and
counted in' the Hayes Electors.
And, of course, the Sun believes
Noses, for he is corrcspon dent after

1t is quite likely that if the fraudu.
lent Republican votes in the low

and a somewhat smaller majority for

The uDliC Debt.

The discussion in the Gen cral As
sembly on the settlement Of tha pub
lie debt, as provided for by the con
solidation act of '73 has been going
on from day to-day for more than
week to the exclusion Of every other
matter beside mere rotine business;
but late adviccs seem to indicate that
crisis III the discussion is reached,
and perhaps before we 90 to press
vote will have been taken which will
decide the question either one way or
the other. The consolidation aet
provides for the funding of $ll3Gi.-
O91 at Il discount Of 80 cents on the
dollar. When this shall have been
done as the act provides, the pablo
debt will amount to S5,GS2,0i5. If
we abrogate the consolidation act,
the ante and post J,Nrm cmoc.atic
debt will amount alone to $l0,l32.-
600; to this amount must be added
S5,S34 900 Of bonds issued since 1868
considered as valid by both parties.
This will foot up tic entire and cnor-
nous debt of SIG, 6,2G4, 900 TO be paid
by taxation in Il long sci les Of years
These figures therefore prove that the
State had better stand by the consoli
dation act, even though it be Radi-
cal offspring, and save the people Il
debt of about sS,0Oo,OOO without
interest, or 10, 100000 with interest
added.
Beside the above, the Democratic
party through its authorized agents
pledged itself from time to time to
sustain the settlement us provided for
by the consolidation act, AMI to reject
it now is sacrifice Of faith which
the party can i'll afford to make, even
though it has control Of the govern
ment. Our success as q party depends S
upon keeping the pledges made in
our season Of distress inviolably.

every reason to believe that, on tn G
lace OF the returns rs submitted to the
State ConvasSers, the Hayes Electors
were elected No counting in was
necessary. 1t is well known fact
that Governor Hampton ran far
ahead Of his ticket The returns, rs
opened and published in the Wallace
iionsc, show majori.y Of 1, l34 for
Hampton for Governor, and Of only
l39 for Simpson for Lieutenant
Governor. A Hayes and, hampton
ticket, containing the names OF the
Republican Electors and the Demo
cratic candidates for State plii GERS,
was voted; so also WAS Il ticket with
Hampton as the candidate for Cover.
nor, without the other Dean ocratic
candidates. Taking into account
these tickets and the exceptional
popularity Of Governor Hampton, it
Is safe to assume that, on the ace Of
tho returns, the Tiiden Electors were
not elected. Louisiana and Florida
we're stolen; South Carolina was not.

Democracy.

In our last issue we published the
instructions Of the State Democratic
Executive Committee to the County
Chairmans, and accompanying them,
circular to the local clubs by Gen.
James f. Izlar.
To-day we would impress upon
our citizens the necessity Of immc-
diate and complete organization Of
the Democrats in every portion Of
thccounty and a thorough preparation
ut every point, in order that the par
ty may enter upon the coming cam
paign with spirit and with every
hope of success. The necessity Of
such course is more imperative now
than ut any period of our history
since the war: before, the burden Of
repeated failures dcprc<sc, The spir-
lis Of our people and caused them to
adopt apoIicy Of almost criminal in
activity. 1t was thought that our
state dcspoilcd Of her property, de-
prived Of her equal rights; and wit II
many of her best citizens pros ,ribcd,
had not the elements Of power suii-
cient to make Il successful resistance
against the measures she knew TO be
unconstitutional, or against the un-
reasonable demands Of the party in
control ofthc govcrgmcnt. Encour-
aged by this seemingly de
tcrmined policy on the part
Of our people, the ruling party
effected the most radical changes in
the organic law Of the land changes
that came near wiping out every
landmark Of our former Liberty and
rcvolutionzing the government guar
anteed by tho constitution. SO far
had these usurpations Of power oh
tanned, that the last was the. ..crownns
act of tho Republican party: Tie
Supreme Court, deprived Of its lcgili-
prerogative under the constitution,

1t gives them valuable hints which
may lead to important improvements
OH the farm.
| sec it was stated that certain
lands, which had been planted in
corn for several successive yeal. and
manured highly with cotton seed,
failed toproduce the COW pea, and tho
question was asked why was it so /?
Was it occasioned by the cotton see
as Il manure, and what is the remedy Z?
| know Il practual farmer who has
two fields lying alongside each other
only separated by running branch.
One field produces peas luxurantly,
whilst the other is II complete failure.
Now there must be in those fields a
deficiency ofsome Of the elements of
plant food, necessary for the hca llhy
growth Of the pea, and believe that
deficiency to be phpsphoric acil,
and would advise the gentlemen,
owning those lands, to try the follow
ing experiment, viz: Break up an
acre, lay it off in three feet rows,
manure in the furrow hall m acre
with 100 lbs. ofacid phosphate, and
one half acre with 200 lbs. of ash
element as prepared at the Atlanti c
Works, and plant the spec<led or
shlnncy pea Is inches apart on the
bed about FIVE peas in the hill. IF
my judgment docs not deceive me the
acre planted willyeld peas enough
to pay expenses and leave tho and
in much better condition for
future crops, provided the vines are
lett to decay on the land.
Try it gentlemen and let the result
be known next fall through the
columns of the T,MEs, and you will
obllsc many tarmers.
