Mr.. Sergeant has introduced a bill
into the United States Senate giving wo-
men the right of suffrage, and the Sen
ate Committee on privileges and cleo
tions is considering the bill and hearing
the female advocates of the change in its
favor. If they live through this ordeal
the country may count upon having some
Senators of magnificent physical consti-
tuition. 1t is not probable the measure
can be gotten through the Senate unless
the Republicans conceive the idea that
it would give them a party advantage to
support the scheme. There is no pros
pect of its adoption in the House of Rep
resentatives, and the Senate is only
wasting time in fooling over it.

In France elections for Representa-
tiyes in Municipal Councils were held on
Sunday the 9th inst, and resulted in
large Republican gains throughout the
entire country. These Municipal Coun-
ellis, through their delegates, will exert a
controlling influence in the election OF
Senators next year, and hence the Re-
publican victory is of great consequence
to the friends Of free government in
France. On last Thursday the French
Assembly met and organized in the
House of Deputies, by re-electing NJ.
Grevy President by vote of 1886 votes
out Of S46.. The Senate was organized
by re-electing Duke a. A'Cudrifert Pasquier
President by vote of 172 against 81
blank. This reorganization is favora.
BILE to the friends of the Republic.

The Republicans are threatening to
investigate the right of General M. @.
Butler to his seat in the United States
Senate, but it is thought this is bluff
game to prevent the Democrats from ex-
posing Kellogg. 1t will hardly prevent
this Radical luminary from getting pre-
sented in his true light before the coun-
try. 1t is not thought that there is any
danger about Buffers seat, as if it was
declared vacant the Democrats would
have the filling of the vacancy, while if
Kellogg should be unseated it would
give the Democrats another Senator; !;
hence, they can proceed against Kellogg
without running any risk.

In an interview with Chicago
Tribune reporter, United States Senator
Richard J. Oglesby said on the financial
question: "I am greenback and silver
man. There are great many greenback
men down my way. They all appear
to favor silver reconciliation. am in
favor of silver dollars and silver money,
Just as much as we can coin, and I am in
favor of putting the volume of green
backs in circulation just to what it was
at the close Of the war, $4O0, 100000. I
would keep it there until our debt was
paid. With national bank notes, green
backs, gold, and silver, all our unlimited
tenders, times would be easier, money
cheap and in demand, and everybody
would be making something and proper
ty would attain some relative value. I
would favor that at least until property
would be worth something.

FUTURE PUNISHMENT.

The doctrine fan eternal future pun
ishment Of the wicked has been brought
to q sudden prominence by the sermon of
Cannon Farrar, of the English Church,
which we publish elsewhere, and to q
greater or less extent it has occupied the
attention Of the pulpits and the press of
the world. For our part we fail to per-
ceive any argument in the sermon al-
[Iuded to. Itsis.in accordance with q sem
|timent of human nature, which loves to
put out of consideration anything which
is at variance to our pleasure, but, de-
spiteeits pleasant theories and fine Ian
guage, we are compelled to acknowledge
that;there is total absence of reason in
SIC. The only point made is that the
word sHelln is not in the original, which
is true, but, for that matter, none of the
English words of the Bible are in the
original. The words Of the Greek and
Hebrew express certain ideas, which are
translated into our Language in the words
which represent those ideas, and it is a
matter of very little consequence to men
whether the place Of future punishment
is called Hell or anything else, SO long
slthe Scriptures describe the state of the
wicked in the future world. The sermon
Of. Dr.. Farrar is nothing more nor less
than "a new edition Of Uniyersalism, and
the fact that Henry Ward Beecher has
endorsed his views gives it no additional
strength, fol. We would not be surprised
|if this ques ionable divine would lind it
very agreeable to, abolish the institution
Of future fuittaufe punishment. The pure and
good and exemplary ministers of all
churches and denominations hold to the
future punishment Of the wicked, the
Bible clearly teaches il, and our con-
sciences strongly snbstantiate the teach
ing; hence neither the cause of morality,
Of religion nor Of humanity would be
subserYed BY the inculcation of this
error, because it is palatable to men.

One of the first things the Legislature
should turn its attention to is the settle
ment Of the question Of reviving the lien
law. In our opinion the re-enactment
of this law is a necessity to prevent abso-
lutte want, if not starvation, among the
poorer people of the; State. The law.
should be re-enacted as it formerly stood
for one year, and there should be an ad-'
ditional clause in it allowing persons to
give lien for the year 1879 for limited
amount over the rent of land, say sixty
dollars to each horse worked. Thus the
law would be gradually abolished, and
would produce very little shock or herd-
ship compared to what must follow its
absolute abolition at this time.

A DUEL.

Messrs. Walter S. Harley and Robert
Fishburne, Of Walterboro, Colleton
County, S. O., fought q duelSnear savan-
nah, Ga on Saturday last, inwhich Mr..
Harley was wounded in the4right side, so
that he.is expected to die. The difficulty
originated over the municipal election
held there on the 9TH inst, in which
these two gentlemen espoused different
sides. An alteration occurred between
them, and Mr.. Harley was called upon
to retract his offensive language, after
which he said to Fishburne:
"What I did mean to say was, that
you and w. ]. Fishburne are weak and
cheap copies of the Rhett family, with
out their brains or courage, and I most
positively and emphatically decline to
withdraw anything that l said on that
OCCASION"
After some preliminary correspondence
Mr.. Fishburne replied:
aI demand that you meet me at the
junction of the Gulf and Savannah and
Charleston Railroads tomorrow, (Satur.
day. the 18th instant. at half-past II
o'clock, to give me satisfaction for the
insult offered. Ny friend, Mr.. VIM. M.
Rivers, who will hand you this, will ar.
range all Details"
This challenge was accepted, and the
parties left for Savannah by separate
trains. Mr.. Harley taking MI. Farmer
with him as his friend. He left the fol.
lowing note for his wife:
"MY DARLING WIFE-I am about to
meet Fishburne. I will not widow
Claudia, for do not intend to shoot al
him. w. s. H."
Mr.. Harley was prominent lawyer.
and Mr.. Fishburne was Clerk of Court
and these two gentlemen were brothers
|in-law, having married sisters. The
affair is very much regretted by every
one.

The Democratic caucus of the Ohio
Legislature has acted wisely in.nomina-
ting Hon. George II. Pendleton for the
United States Senate, to succeed Stanley
Matthews on the 4th of March, 1879.
This nomination is equivalent to an cleo
ton, and we may congratulate the coun-
try upon the advent Of q period when
such, men as Voorhees, and Pendleton
supplant the Mortons and Matthews of
Radicalism. Mr.. Pendleton's financial
views are the same, he announces, as
those held by him for many years past.
He fayors the repeal of the Resumption
Act, the remonetization of silver, the
abolition of national banks, and the is
sue of national treasury notes., conyerti-
bleat will into specie. He has always
been a friend Of the South, and as a
United States Senator his influence will
always be found on the side of national
unity and national fraternity. His pres.
ence will be valuable gain for the De-
mocracy in the Senate.

The Legislature resumed its session on
yesterday, and will now be called on to
grapple with the great debt question.
We trust the solution will be in accord.
ance with justice and the equities of the
whole subject. The prospect is that the
session will be q pretty long one.

We hope the Legislature will at its
present session pass joint resolution
submitting to vote Of the people of the
State an amendment to the Constitution
providing for meetings of the Legisla-
ture once in two years, instead of an
nually, and limiting the session to sixty
days, with a compensation to its MEM
bers of three dollars per day and mileage
for one trip at the rate Of FIVE cents per
mile. The adoption of such an amend
maent would save the State a very large
amount of money, besides ensuring, we
believe, just as good laws as we now have.
If such a change should be adopted the
time.of service in the Legislature should
be changed from two to four years, and
it would also be we'll to elect all State
and County officers the same period, 50
as to avoid such frequent political ex-.
citements, which would add materially
to the substantial prosperity of our citi-
zens. This subject is well worthy of the
attention of our Lawmakers. q.

Ammoniated Manures.

Let farmers beware how they purchase
ammoniated manures. When we who
live in wooded and cotton-growing
country buy ammonia, we commit as
great folly as buying coal to carry to
New Castle. This ingredient in the ma
nures we use is costly and constantly es-
Gaping. We have the material with US
to. produce it in sufficient quantities and
at a cost far less than what we now pay
for it. To do this requires some manage
ment and industry. Let us inquire how
much of this costly ingredient is neces-
sary for a good fertilizer. Experience in
this, as in most matters pertaining to our
calling, is the best guide. A few years
since we were told that sixteen per cent.
of ammonia was needed to make first
class manure; now two and q half to
three per cent. next, / will answer, none
that is, buy none from the manufac-
turer. I do not mean to say that no
ammonia is necessary to the growth and
development of plants and their fruit,
but that we should not buy it. We have
better and cheaper way to get it than
that. We have been taught by expe.,
rience that corn requires different ma
nure from cotton; that one manure is
not adapted for all plants. 1t behooves
us, then, to study carefully this matter,
so that We may apply our means and
labor to the best advantage, that nothing
may be wasted.
AS the time is near at hand when
farmers buy their fertilizers for the ensu-
ing year, propose in the next issue. to
discuss fully this subject, in hopes that L:
may say something that will benefit our
planting friends. L.
