Coon News FOR FARMERs.--We have
before mentioned the steady increase
of expectations of agricultural pro.
ducts and the following from the
North american tells us what this in
crease has been in year in two i'm.
portant articles 1t says; "Thcre has
been a remarkable increase in the ex.
port of butter and cheese from this
port during the past month, that OF
butter having increased over sixty per
cent, while that of cheese from the
nominal figure of l,4O0 pounds in
March of last year amounted TO over
10000 pounds. We have made such
progress in the manufacture Of both
butter and cheese, and in all the pro
ducts Of the dairy, that we may reason
ably expect to DEFY competition in the
markets of the world, and all that !:
needed is greater care in preparation
and in packing to suit the prejudice'
of purchasers"

RADICAL JusTIoE.-An exchange re.
marks that there are hundred or
more Democrats under indictment in
the Federal courts of South Carolina,
for alleged violations of the election
law. Judge Bond, ofinfamous memory,

entire panel ofjurors drawn, there are
only three Democrats, just The number

A LET DowN.-We notice that Ex
Senator Conover, of Florida, has settled
down ut Norfolk, Va, as Inspector Of
Customs ut salary of 81 per day
Sunday not included. This may seem
like tremendous let.down to mar
who was recently the peer of conkline
and Hoar and whose income was fit
teen dollars day, but il is mighty
sight better than having to work for
living. Better men than Mr.. Conove'
arc now causing the able hoe to glitter
in the radiant sunlight Of the West ant
are subsisting on jowl and sprouts.

The STAMPEDE ovER.-Of the negro
exodus the New Orleans Picdyunt
says: "For time it seemed as if this
movement was TO be general and serl'
ous fears were felt that it might dis
organize the labor of the State and
jeopardizc it's industrial interests. We
believe these fears were the product
OF an exaggerated estimate of the ex
tent of the movement From what We
can learn, the impulse has spent it
force" The South will not therefore
loose forty Congressman, as predicted
by some Radical journalists.

said ablelbodied officers and men can
do-they can 40 to work and earn
their own bread, Just as farmers, me,

BRAo AND BLusrER. TO read the
brag and buster INDUCED in by the
Radical journals of the "solld North
against the "solid South" one might
suppose that Democrats were few and
far between in the former section, when
the fact is in this State, alone the white
Democratic voters outnumbcr the
white Radical voters, and frequently
outnumbcr both the white and black
Radical element, 1t is not so in tho
South wherc the Radicals arc in the
most pitifnl minority.

CONKLINTS PLAN.


The Senator from New York and a
number Of other great men in this coun-
try.adyocats stronger government
o large standing Army and far more
power conferred inthe President. One
Of the beauties Of living under brutal
and selfish monarchy is now being
made manifest in st. Petersburg. Be-
cause crazy fanatic fired few pistol
shots the other day at the man who
claims to own and rule the Russian
people by Divine right, the whole city
has been placed under martial law.
The sale Of firearms has been stoPPes,
the private arms Of citizens are confis.
Gated, porters must be kept at the
doors Of oil houses to prevent the post
ing of placards and the throwing Of
explosives into the streets. This is
rather nice price for the people to
pay for the privilege of maintaining
the House of Romanoff in power This
interference with the rights Of the peo
pie in order that one man may enjoy
power and immunity will have but one
effect. The CALLING nature Of the yoke
which rests upon the Russian people
will be made apparent even to the
dullest of intelects and fresh impetus
will be given TO the revolution which
has already commenced aud which
can only have one ending-the estab
lishment of constitutional govern
ment Of some character. Is il nof
amazing to think that there is an in
telligent American who prefers Des
potic Government to a Republic
There are thousands Of them, but they
are to polite to confess it, and it be
comes the duty of every lover of th'
Union to pronounce against all mel
who hold such views.

SIX TO HANG FOR ONE.

We learn from the Lancaster Intel
ligencer, that the remarkable murder
trial which has just closed at Lebanon,
with the conviction Of six persons Of
murder in the first degree, for the kill
ing of the same man, is the last Of q
series of crimes committed in this sec.
tion Of the country OF which the I'd
derzook and Hunter cases were signal
examples. 1t differs from them in that
the participants in it were an ignorant
and almost barbarous set of people,
who depended for escape from the con-
sequences Of their crime on the remote
ness of its scene from the busy haunts
Of mon and on the ignorance and bru.
tality Of the surrounding community,
rather than on any well.conceivcd and
coolly executed plan OF concealment,
such as was practiced in the Camden
and Penningtonville horrors. Indeed
tho wonder is that under the circum-
stances their crime, which was not
suspected at first ever came 10 light
at all. The insurance Of tho murdered
man by those who sought to profit by
bis death was q cold. blooded specula-
tion, and IT seems that similar risks,
without such tragic termination of
course, are frequently taken over in
that section, where mania for insur.
ance has prevailed that is likely to
cease now, since man on whose life
spectators have policicies comes to see
in what danger he stands. Should
this halfdozen of culprits eventually
hang, as there seems little reason to
doubt that they will, their execution
viii be an event without a parallel in
the annals Of this State.
