THURSDAY MORNING SESSION.

Hon. j. j. Thomas Of Union Springs,
n Y read an excellent paper on Farm
Buildings and Other Improvements" In
opening he referred to the importance of
making ,Slrms attractive. especially to
young men. We shall confne ourselves
10 a very short abstract, for the reason
that the paper was so full of instructions
concerning the details to be observed in
building barns and the like that fair rep
resentation of them would require much
space. Every barn should be rooniy, nc
cessible. and carefully arranged inside !;
they should be two stories high Mt least,
and three if suitable side hill could be
furnished, SO that one side of the first floor
or basement mi hit be- open. They should
have good caves troughs, broad and shelly
ing roofs, and broad basement walls. No
embsnkment of earth liable to freeze
should be allowed to press against foun-
dation wall.
Floors and planks might he soaked in
petroleum, and paint used outside. The

The Antecedents OF Disease.


Among the antecedents Of disease are inertness
In the circulation of the blood an unnaturally at
tenuated condition Of the physique, indicating
that the life current Is deficient In nutritlve
properties, wan, haggard look, inability to digest
the food, loss Of appetite sleep and strength AMI
sensation Of unnatural languor. All these may be
regarded as among the indicia Of approaching dis
ease which win eventually attack the system ind

and analysts to be pure as well as effective, which
Is immensely popular In this country, and extern
siyely used abroad, and which has been for years
past one Of the leading medicinal staples Of
America.

TEE BANKRUPT LAW.

The following is the text of the Act
repeating the Bankrupt law. 1t has
passed both Houses of Congress, and is
probably law by this time:
Be it enacted, etc., That the bankrupt
law approved March 2, 1867, and all acts
in amendment or supplementary thereto
or in explanation thereof, be, and the
same is hereby repealed: Provided, how
ever, That such repeal shall in no man.
ner invalidate or affect any case in bank
ruptcy instituted and pending in any
court prior to the day when this act
shall take effect; but as to all such pend
ing cases and all future proceedings
therein, the acts hereby repealed shall
continue in full force and effect until the
same shall be fully disposed of, in the
same manner as If said acts had not been
repealed,

"A correspondent of the Union Times
thinks that the colored free schools should
be taught BY white teachers, for the rea-
son that colored teachers are so generally
incompetent, and consequently unfit for
the important offices. The argument is
n good one, and we would like to see the
suggestion of the Tines correspondent
adopted in every case where it is possible.
There are some colored teachers who are
competent, but they are very scarce. AS
q general ching the colored teachers of
the State ought to be studying the very
rudiments. If We expect to make the
expenditure of public money profitable
to the colored people, by advancing them
Intellectually, so as to make them better
citizens, it can only be done by giving
them better teachers. AT present there
is prejudice against white persons teach
ing in colored schools in this State, and
this would make it difficult to secure the
class of teachers needed. If, however,
the change could be made, this prejudice
would gradually pass away. To secure
this will be the work of time.

1t is stated that the Russian govern
ment is preparing to purchase and equip
vessels of war in the United States to
attack the British navy and commerce.
Russian officers have been commissioned
to raise crews to man these vessels, and
if war should come the British commerce
will no doubt be riddled. In addition to
this movement the telegraph announces
that it is reported in San Francisco that
arrangements are being made in that
city to fit out a privateer to depredate
UPON British commerce. Capt Waddell,
late of the wrecked Pacific" and who
won considerable celebracy as comman-
der of the Confederate privateer, "Shen-
andoah,' is spoken of as the probable
captain. Letters of marque and reprisal
from the Russian governm ent are already
there in blank awaiting a declaration of
war, when they will be Immediately filled
out. The same is no doubt true of many
of the other leading ports of the world,
and if so a declaration OF war would In
sill probability at once dissipate British
commerce.

A special dispatch from San Antonio,
Texas, says that the better class of Mexi-
cans in that city are very excited over
Mexican affairs, and all are in sympathy
with the contemplated movement against
Diaz. The presence of Gen. Escobedo
in Galveston, and the various kilograms
he is sending to different parts of the
State, indicate business of serious ma
ture. Col. Paul John T. Marsh, now
here, yesterday received commission as
Brigadier General from Lerdo. 1t is said
that this officer and Escobedo are pro-
curing arms and ammunitions for the
Lerdists. Great secrecy is maintained,
but enough can be seen here to warrant
the belief that a great rebellion will
occur in Mexico at no far distant day.

Although comparisons are odious,
there seems to be disposition to contrast
the management of the late Centennial
Exhibition with the manner in which the
Paris Exhibition progressing is to be
conducted. The Centennial was most
literally conducted, SO that exhibitors
were at as little cost and annoyance as
possible, but the papers say that the
Paris Exposition is to he more economi-
cal in these particulars. Exhibitors will
be required to pay for transferring their
goods to the various departments to
which they belong, and to pay for sweep
ing, the water used, and so on. The
representatives from the different govern
ments will also be limited. The United
States has appointed about one hundred
aud fifty commissioners, and it is not
now thought that more than three of this
number will be granted free admittance,
The number is ridiculously large, and a
slur upon our nation, hut the action of
the management of the Exhibition is
picayunish and ridiculous. 1t will no
doubt, however, be very grand success.

The General Conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South met in
Atlanta on last Wednesday, and will
continue so as embrace the following
Sabbath. 1t is splendid body of men,
having; a membership of over six hun
dred, and will compare most favorably
with my similar body of men in the
world in point of ability and exalted
character. At the present session there
will be- very large attendance, and some
of the most vital subjects connected with
Methodism in the South will be present
ed for discussion and action. The ses-
sions of this body are always marked
with great interest to the entire denomi-
nation and to the Christian world.

The Messrs. Watson who were charged

The Messrs. Watson who were charged
with completely in the Sawyer murder at
Aiken by the confession of Aultman,
who was informed upon by McEvoy,
were brought before Judge McTver upon
a writ of ha5sas corpus and, after hear
ing Of the evidence, discharged upon one
thousand dollars bail. This does not
look like there was much truth in the
charge, and the Messrs. Watson will no
doubt be acquitted. Aultman has con-
fessed to the crime, and is now trying to
save his neck by duplicating others.
His efforts do not appear to meet with
much success, and in all probability he
will have to pay the penalty of his life
for the one which he admits that he
assisted in taking in a very brutal man.

Y. NJ. c. A. CONVENTION.

The meeting of the Y. NJ. C. A. Con-
vention of South Carolina convened in

tions was appointed; also, a temporary
business committee.
A recess of ten minutes was then taken
for social intercourse, when the temporary
business committee reported that q three
minutes speech be allowed from one del
egate from each association represented.
This report was quite interesting, and
showed the workings of che associations
had been the means of accomplishing
much good.
The Committee on Nominations repor-
Ted the following officers, which was
adopted:

Spartanburg were presented as the next
place of meeting, and Anderson was Sc
lected.
Greetings were exchanged by tele-
graph between the Convention of this
State and the Convention of Louisiana.
Numerous interesting subjects were
discussed, and the uttermost harmony
and brotherly love prevailed.
The farewell meeting was held in che
Methodist Church on Sunday night, snd
very great interest was manifested in the
speeches by the large assembly of citizens
who attended it.
The next annual meeting will be held
in Anderson on the fourth Wednesday in
April, 1879.

upon independent candidates, whom we
will regard hereafter as giving aid and
comfort to our political opponents.
This pledge is strong enough, and for
Anderson County we favor tho re-adop.
ton of our provision of 1876 on this
point, which was:
Reaolred, That only members of the
Democratic Clubs shall be entitled to
vote in the primary election; and the
Secretary of each Club shall have the
roll of his Club at the place of holding
the election, and all legal voters, who are
not members prior thereto, upon joining
the Clubs on che day of election shall be
entitled to vote by signing the Constitu-
ton of the Club.
The last recommendation of the Com.
mittee is:
No one shall be declared the nominee
of the party unless he shall have received
majority of all the votes cast in the
primary election.
Should no candidate for any particular
Office recei-e g majority of the votes cast,
the County Chairman shall SO declare,
ard order q second election to complete
the nominations in sufficient time before
the general election.
On the principle that we had better let
well enough alone, we do not favor this
recommendation for Anderson County.
In the election of 1876 the candidates re-
ceiving the highest number of votes we're
the nominees, and we believe it will be
safer TO retain the old plan. Where q
majority of ali the votes is required it
might become very difficult to nominate
at all where there were a large number
of candidates running, and at best we
would have to hold the elections early
to have plenty of time for two or three
elections, in case of q failure to nomi-
nate. This would be bad policy, for it
would give the Republicans time to work
up a canvass against us, and would also
tend to dissatisfy our own people, for in
The elections subsequent to the fist the
attendance might be small, and the can
| didate defeated would think a full turn
out would have changed the result
There are other objections to this recon-
mendatior, but the ones given will, we
have no doubs, be sufficient to prevent
its adoption in this County. ~
The whole subject of nominations
ought to be left to each County. There
are some counties which will no doubt
hold on 10 the convention plan, and in
the counties where the primary election
lis adopted it will be conducted on the
plan which may suit the particular
county. For our part, we are not dis.
posed to favor any change ofthe general
plan adopted in this county in 1875, and
our people may rest assured that what
ever plan is adopted will be fully and
carefully considered by the proper au-
thority in this County.

DIR. Clendenin. of Fort Lee. n. 7

DIR. Clendenin, of Fort Lee, n. j.,
recently began an examination into q
number Of peculiar cases of sickness
among tho people Of Fort Lee, and found
that fresh shad had been eaten by them.
He subjected it to thorough dissection,
and found in the viscera and muscles of
the shad numerous parasites which, when
placed under a microscope, ASSUMED
almost ferocious proportions. This the
Doctor believes to have caused the illness
of his patients. The fish examined by
the Doctor had not been out of the water
an hour when he began his examination.
