On next Saturday, the 9th of April, ut
IL o'clock, Pomona Grange will hold its
quarterly meeting, and we shall hope to
see every sub-Grange fully represented.
Very often business of considerable i'm.
portance to the individual Oranges is
brought before the body, discussed and
determined, and it may be sometimes not
correctly determined for want of the ex-
perience and information which could
be rendered by some sub Grange which
is absent, by her Worthy Master and
delegates both. And these absent par
ties are to great extent responsible for
any hasty or premature legislation of the
body, caused By Withholding the uecss-
eary intelligence and cooperation of the
individual Oranges, whose Masters and
delegates constitute the Pomona Grange.

committee of citizens Of integrity and
good judgment to investigate ''s ac-
counts, and agrees 10 meet it and make
full exhibit. Next he seeks to latter
Gov. Hampton into leniency towards
him, and ADDS:
Ills Exceiiency, Wade Hampton, Gov.
Of South Carolina, deserves the admifa-
ton, respect aud confidence Of the Amer
ican people. His bravery, integrity and
statesmanship, if allowed TO prevail, will
be of great advantage to the country at
large, in solving the problem OF human
rights In the South, on an enduring basis.
The government Of South Carolina will
be model, ip this respect, and trust,
financially, for other Southern States.
Kimpton's letter has the ear-marks Of
falsehood stamped all the way through
it. If be has properly settled his ac-
counts, why is he running from tho law
If he has large sum due him from the
State, why is he unwilling to face her
authorities? He is the first public cred
itor that we have ever head Of who Is 80
bashful that he has to fee from his home
and from his country because State
owes him large sum of money. AS the
Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionaiist
remarks, there is committee of twelve
men of integrity and good judgment in
Judge Shaw's Court in Columbia who
are now ready, willing and waiting to
allow Mr. Kimpton to submit his account
to them for adjustment, but this adjust
ment is exactly what Kimpton does not
want, although it Is what the Governor
and the people ara determined that he
shall have, If we can possibly get hold of
him. We have no doubt at al! .ha: The
State will fall in debt TO MIR. Kimpton
upon final settlement of his account,
and we are 10 favor of paying this debt
We believe in paying all Of our just
debts, and are perfectly satisfied that the
debt we owe him Is just one. and should
be paid by all means-we owe him 6
support for life as convict in our State
Penitentiary, and South Carolina will
never pay off this debt until she furnishes
Kimpton with such accommodation.

The situation in Europe is intensely
critical, and upon the result of the pres.
ent crisis the problem of tremendous
war will depend. The English lion is
ct last thoroughly aroused, aud its
roars have already terrified Europe with
the dread of conflict. The British gov.
ernment objects to tho penra concluded
between Russia and Turkey, because is
abridges British rights, and cnlarges to a
great extent Russian privileges. The
heet of England is being rapidly and
thoroughly recruited. The militia re-.
seryes are being ovgsnized and ordered
to be in readiness fol- service, and Eng
land is fast assuming tne appearance of
an armed camp. On ,Se other hand,
Russia has shown no disposition: 20 re-
eede, and sgilh the prestige prestige of Of conquest
is rather favorable to conflict between
the hsstoric lion of Great Britain and
TIE bear Of Russia. Each of theae hos.
tile powers iq forming its combinations,
snd preparing for the fray. In England
Lord Derby has resigned as Foreign
Secretary because his views have been
too pacific towards Russia, aud the Mar
quis of Salisbury saeessztiis him. In
many parts of Europe It is thought war

On last Friday Governor Hampton
and his party visited our neighboring
town, Abbeville, and was greeted with
an enthusiasm worthy of the visitor and
of the noble people who were receiving
him. The notice of his visit was short,
and hence the crowd was not as large as
would otherwise have attended, but about
two thousand people gathered to do him
honor. Interesting speeches were made
by Governor Hampton, Gen. MCGOWAN,
Judge Mackey, Colonel Cothran, Judge
Thomson and 1.he.5. The day was O
grand success. Gen. MCGOWAN said it
was, however, only % skirmish, and that
later in the canvass they would have the

Tilden is to be tried upon a civil suit
for not paying tax upon his income, as
provided by law, number Of years ago.
Judge Blatchfor', of New York, over
ruled his demurrer to tho government
complaint, and held that the act of an
officer assessing an income, where no re-
turn was made Of it, does not bind the
government, and that the true amount of
income may be shown to be greater than
that assessed. This decision brings Mr..
Tiiden face to face upon n question of
fact with jury Of his countrymen. Did
he have q greater income than he paid
ts1;cs on? If go, how much2 If he
did, the government will recover the
amount shown to be due. The loss of
the money will not hurt Mr.. Tilden, for
he has plenty of it, but if he should lose
his suit it will leave scar upon his rep
utation which it will bo impossible for
him to erase in the few years of life
which remain to him. From the fact
that he sought to decide the case by q
demurrer, without going into the facts,
Wa fear the verdict will be against him,
aat. thus ono of the greatest of modern
feformers will be shown to have himself
defrauded the government. IF 80, then
beyond doubt the name of Samuel J.
Tilden will be heard no more among the
leading politicians Of the day. We hope
for Mr. Tilden's sake. as we'll as for pub
lie confidence, that the government will
lose ito suit, and that Mr.. Tilden will
thus be vindicated.

Our neighbor Speights advocates bring
Ing the State Democratic Convention up
the country t!.is Summer, and desigpataa
Greenvillo or Spartanburg as the best
pace for the meeting. The Ne,ps and
courier objects to any change, unless the
Convention goes to Charleston. 1t ia o
matter of some importance to the people
in pecuniary sense to have the Conven-
tion meet about the centre of the State,
and Columbia has the central position
with reference to the geography of the
State, aud also with reference to the va
rious railroad lines. Therefore, we are
in favor of the Convention meeting
there, unless the Committee will decide
to send 1t to Anderson, and in that event
we would be glad to see o change of the
custom Of meeting in Columbia. Auder-
son is not as central as Columbia, but It
is equal to Greenville, Spartanburg or
Charleston. It's capacity for accommo.
dating tho Convention Is ample, and If
any change of the old custom ia to be
made, we respectfully submit that An.
derson ought to be the honored place.
It was most persistent in the fight before
and after the last canvass opened, and is
the most thoroughly organized and the
most enthusiastic county that has yet
spoken in the coming canvass. The
enthusiasm which meeting here would
call forth might make up for the loss Of
central position. We at least submit 1t
fNr the consideration OF the State Exec
utive Committee.

There are some political spirits in this
country who, though crushed, will not
"down." David T. Corbin is one Of
them. Although the Senate has already
emphaticaIly declared against his right
to seat in that body, and although the
Investigating Committee has developed
q mass of his iniquity which would crush
the efforts Of any man who has single
spark of self-respcct left, yet this brazen
and shameless adventurer has the cheek
and efirontery to come forward and en-.
deavor further TO contest his pretended
claim TO Gen. Buffers seat. In this
effort he will appear, it is stated, with
Daniel III. Chamberlain as his attorney,
and thus two Of the most consummate
and adroit schemers and political bum-
mars Of the .ge VIII have control Of the
contest. From this ,...i- cf :, :u.:vus In
dividuals we predict that Gen. Butler
has nothing to fear. There 10 political
stencil about both of these men which
even the Republican Senators cannot all
endure. There is no room for Corbin In

We publish elsewhere the late Act to
regulate the cost Of public officers in this
State. This Act reduces the taxed costs
of suits, &C., considerably; but, in our
opinion, the Act is yet imperfect. For
instance, the allowance to attorneys,
which we DO not think is too low, is not
graded as 1t should be, for it yet costs as
much TO collect one hundred dollars as
it does 70 collect ten thousand dollars.
The amount allowed now is too much on
case involving one hundred dollars, but
Is not en,ugh on the larger sum. The
fee bill 5hould be graded. The present
Act alters the regulation about Trial
Justices in this County, and hereafter
there will be no salaries paid them by
the County for criminal business, but
they Will take their fees under the Act.
IT would be well for our subscribers TO
file this Act, that they may lie able to
examine the taxation Of any bill of cost
in which they may be interested.
