Annual Meeting Of the State Grange

..:sff..iIi --.4-..fis';'
The following letter will be of interest
to the Grangers of,our County, and sufii-
cieutly explains itself:
MASTERS OFFICE, STATE GRANGE,
CHAPPELL's DEPOT 8. O., Jan. 2f,1S78.
:, The meeting of the State Grange will
be held in Columbia on Tuesday the 5th
of February, alto q. M, instead of in
Charleston. This change has been made
by the Executive Committee and Master,
after consultation with leading brethren
from Charleston and other portions OF
the Stste. On accountaof the Legisla-
ture being in session and other reasons,
it twould be impossible to have well at
tended meeting in Charleston. iSAll re-
gret the necessity for the change, and not
being able to acceptand enjoy the very
kind invitation of the Patrons and Ma
sons of Charleston and the opportunity
of: cultivating the cordial business and
social relations that should exist between
the agriculturalists Of the country and
the commercial metropolis of our State.
The meeting in Columbia will be very
and all Patrons who can are
urged to attend, but more especially the
brethren and sisters who are voting mem.
bers of the State Grange, and most es.
ipecially the Worthy Masters of Pomona
Oranges. Under the present system il
will: be almost impossible for the State
Grange or Master to conduct the affairs
of the order successfully or satisfactorily
without the fullest understanding and
concert with Masters of Pomona Oranges.

Mr.. Walter s., Harley, OF Walter
boro, died on the 18th inst, of the effects
Of the wound received by him at the
hands of Robert C. Fishburne in the duel
near Savannah, Ca, Of which we gave
an account last week. The Coroner's
jury, which investigated the case, re-
turned verdict that the deceased died OF
q gun shot wound inflicted by some per-
son to.the jury unknown, and it is prob
able the whole matter will be hushed up.
The remains of Mr.. Harley were carried
back to dWalterboro for interment. .
The Charleston Ne,us and Courier
says: sThe Anderson INTEIL1aENcEF,
in clever article which we publish in
another column this morning, has an ex-
ccellent suggestion in regard to the use to
be made OF the convicts who yearly de-
your the substance of the State. The
iINTEL11aENcER thinks that they might
be proftably employed in resuscitating
the Blue Ridge Railroad, which, it truth
fully says, has cost the State too much
money to be entirely abandoned. This
is one subject at least on which the up.
country and Charleston can work in
happy accord, and it is to be hoped that
twill receive the serious and favorable
consideration of the Legislature"
THE Keosuee Courier makes the follow
ing correction concerning the reported
rescue ofthe prisoner Snow, atseneca
City :ttWe have visited Seneca City since
the above publication, The Deputy Mar
shal and Snow arrived at; Seneca City
and entered the; hotel. The Marshal
went out and during His absence Snow
disappeared. There,was no resistance to
the law, and no effort to release the pris-
,oner. The prisoner simply walked off.
This much in justice to the people 'of
Seneca City. The people Of 0conee have
had no difficulty with the revenue officers
and the revenue laws. These laws have
not been as strictly enforced as they
should be, and, !, as we are informed, they
will be in future. y So

The Columbia Register and the Charles
ton papers have come to, the support of
the INrELI1eENoER, in advocacy of the
employment of the convict labor of the
State in the completion Of the Blue Ridge
Railroad, and there is a strong probabili!-
ty that the scheme will take practical
shape at. an early day. Will not our
other State exchanges say kind word in
favor of this grand highway to the West ?
We hope the Legislature will take an in
terest in this enterprise, and at least give
the labor of our State criminals to its
prosecution. 1t would bring immense
prosperity to Charleston and the entire
State, and is therefore very important
public measure.

combination, potash and phosphoric
acid. Now, all of these are found in
stable manure in greater or less proper
ton as We use more or less absorbents.
twill be found highly profitable to in
crease the strength of our manures by
the purchase ofphosphoric acid, potash,
soda, but never of nitrogen in any COM,
bination to form ammonia. Phosphoric
acid and lime can be had in the phos-
phate flour; potash from the kainit or
sulphate of. potash, and soda from COM
mon salt. These articles can all be had
from dealers in fertilizers, but they are
by no means Of equal quality, both in
mechanical condition and the amount of
useful ingredients. The phosphate -four
may be fine or coarse, tit should be fne.)
Its per centage of bone phosphate las
found in the mines) varies from IS to IS
per centum. Kainit is imported from
mines in Prussia, and largely varies in its
value. Composing these ingredients
with what we have on our farms may be
done in stable or in heaps, preferably the
latter. In whatever way it is done, it
should be remembered that moisture is es-
sential to-. fermentation and successful
composing. Too much moisture will
keep the heap cold and leach it. If the
heap is allowed to get too hot (this may
be prevented by watering) it will con-
sumo, as it were, and lose much Of its
value. 4js9 .e,.! tf
Composing and making home.manures
is practiced by some Of our farmers with
great success, and we. appeal to them not
to hide their light under a bushel, but to
come out and give us their modes in de-
tail, that all may profit by their knowl-
edge. Welneed all the light that can be
thrown on this all-important subject.

Ex-Governor Tilden yet. It is,said that
he has men employed gathering up the
facts connected with tile late Presidential;
election, and that he has printing office
of his own in which all the important
evidence is being printed by experienced
compositors, who are sworn to secrecy /;
and it. is further said that he will go be-
fore the Supreme Court with this vast
array Of facts at the proper time. If he
succeeds in ousting Mr.. Hayes he will
be President in fact as he is Of right, and
if he is defeated before the Court his
wrongful treatment will secure for him
another nomination from the Democratic
party in 1880. He is credited with hav-
ing had this plan for months, and, indeed,
ever since the decision, and it Is said that
it was in furtherance of this plan that he
took the,:oath of office as President on
the 4th Of March, 1877.
SALT LAKE CITY,. Utah, Jan. 15.-
The message of Gov. Emory to the Terri
| torial Legislature was delivered this af-
ternoon. He recommends Territorial
free school law, as tho support Of free
schools is now left with each school dis
trict He also recommends secret bal
lot, and the revision of the divorce laws
so as to require years residence of the
applicant. He says that polygamy has
continued here for thirty years, and for
| fifteen years in violation of law. In all
other States and Territories polygamy is
punished. 1t is no less crime here, yet
the law remains dead letter. Polyga-
nous marriages are so frequent through
out the Territory, and the sentiment of
the majority Of the people so much in it's
favor, that the officers, though charged
with the duty Of enforcing the laws, find
themselves unable to do so without
further legislation. This Legislature has
sufficient jurisdiction to provide the en-
actments required, but if it waits, then it
is the duty of Congress to provide such
legislation as will meet the case, Polyg-
amy aud the union; of Church and. State
are stumbling blocks in the way ola set
tied condition Of affairs, and detrimental
to the interests of the entirepeople.

o'clock. They are as follows:
WHEREAS, reports and unauthorized
statements with regard to the action Of
this General Assembly in the matter Of
the debt of the State have been circulated
to the great detriment of the credit Of the
State, and have weakened the faith in
the honor of her people; and whereas
the committee appointed to investigate
the public debt, with view to the detec.
tion of forgeries, duplicates, bonds issued

ing of the actual indebtedness of the
State, have, by reason of the magnitude
| of the. work, been unable to complete
| their report as early as was expected
now, for the purpose of quieting all such
ungrounded fears, and Of putting STOP
to injurious speculation in the faith o1
the State, be it
| Resolued,' That it is the sense of this
General Assembly that the faith, honor
and funds of the State are solemnly
pledged for the payment Of the public
debt as fixed by the provisions of the act
known as the consolidation act, and thai
prompt provision will be made, as soor
as the forgeries, duplicates aud bonds is

of this body that the people of this State
will in no way, direct or indirect, coun'

names, &C., but after examination of the
resolution under which we were appointed
and have acted, we came to the conclu-
sion that we had nothing to do with
Judge Willard unless some charge of dis
honesty in connection with the public
funds had been made. We have nothing
to do with it as it now stands, and have,
besides, as much as we can attend to
without it,"
Mr.. Lipscomb offered the following
resolution:
Resolred, That committee of three
on the part of the Senate and - on the
part Of the House be appointed to inves.
