The railroad companies which have been
swindlcd by the gang of foIgcrs jus; captured
in Chicago. ought to feel grateful to the men
who have taught them the money value of
the paS.cs they scatter with such a lavish
hand These ingenious scamps have been
getting passes on all sides by writing for them
on railroad leticr-papcr. and III the name of
some railroad official, aud have made a hand
some profit 10y selling them. The railroads
could hardly be more iOrciby reminded Of
the fact that when they give away passes they
are simply throwing away money.
New-York tribune., 1879-01-31

The first feeling with regard to the effect Of
the Supreme Court decision against poygaDy
was the correct one if the head of the Nor
mon Church speaks its views. The converse
ton which is given on another page, with
John TAYLOR, the chief Of the Twelve Apos-
ties of the Church shows that he stub
bonly adhcres to the absurd theory that
the right to practise Dolygamy is con-
ferred by the clause of the Constitution
which guarantees religious liberty. So far
from being convinced by Chief-Justice Waite's
opinion. be declares that the only effect Of
the dcrisiOn will be to bind his people more

II is ,ocmnly stated by the champions of the
Indian Bureau that il has been attempted to
imbuc The Indian with "a sense of response
"bility' by making him teamster to his
own provisions. This may turn out like the
attempts that have been made to i'm
hue him with a knowledge of agriculture.
The docilc savage would watch the potato
planting with glittcring and watchful eye,
and the teacher who fondly supposed that his
pupil WI, really eager for agricultural infOr-
nation would be glicvcd to find next day
that every slice of potato had been dug up
and fed to the docile savage's pony.

very good indeed. The cars arc largo and

has boon paid to tho selection of corn for
seed, selecting each yoar the top ears and
those well filled and perfectly. healthy. My
attention was called to three stalks on which
were twelve full grown ears. This corn was
grown, not on bottom land, but on rather
high ridgo. Itwould bo q good thing If oil

The Result Of the Elections.

The elections in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Nebraska, Minnesota. Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Kansas, resulted in favor of
tho Republicans by increased majoritios. In
Mississippi and Maryland the Democrats
were successful. Virginia is also Democratic,
though moro Republicans hayo boon elected
to tho Legislature than usual. Tho groat
contest in Virginia was over hor public debt.
The Mccullough plan was to reduce tho
interest to four per cent. The ro-adjusters,
headed by Gen. Malone, are in favor of adj
justing the debt to suit themselves. This
party claims the Legislature. Massachusetts
was tho scene of big triangular fight.
There wero three tickets in tho field -Repub,
lican, Democratic and the Butterflies. Tho
Butler party increased their vote from last
year. The Republicans were successful, not
by q majority, but by plurality. 1t was in
Now York, however, whero the greatest
interest was felt. The bolt of Tammany by
Kelly took nearly 100000 votes from Robin
son, tho Democratic nominee for Governor.
In all else, the bolt gave him strength. The
whole Independent and conservative element
voted for him. Some of tho Kelly crowd
voted for Cornell, the Republican machine
candidate. IIe was elected by plurality of
$4,000. Tho latest indications are that
Potter, the Democratic candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor, and Seymour, the Democratic
candidate for Canal Comm issioner, are
elected.

Death Of Samuel Lovinggood.

Tho old heads arc passing away and in the
death of Col. Samuel Lovinggood, which
occurred on Tuesday morning, tho 1lth
instant another link which connects US with
the past history of our county has beeu bro
ken. We can now almost count on our
fingers the fow men Of prominence who live
to connect US with tho old regime. We had
known Col. LoviDggood since our earliest
recollection, remembering him in our boyhood
as successful miner in Cheohec. lie was born
in Elbert County, Georgia, and removed to
South Carolina years ago and settled in
Cheohee whore ho married the daughter Of
James Lay, q leading citizen of that section.
lilo soon after lost his wife, leaving one
daughter, on whom ho bestowed liberal
education, giving her every advantage money
could obtain. IIo was bold and fearless,
advising the young, and speaking his mind
freely but kindly. IIe started in life poor,
but by course of strict honesty. economy
and perseverance, he had, before the war,
accumulated large property, much of which
his sound judgment enabled him to carry
through tho war. For several years ho has
resided in Walhalla with his daughter and
been engaged in tho banking business, hav-
ing been tho first and last President of tho
Walhalla Bank, and nftor it's dissolution
continuing with w. G. Erwin private bank.
Through long life of over seventy years
euccoss attended all his undertakings. After
the war he was generous in settling by COM
promising with his creditors, taking fifty conts
on the dollar Of what was duo him, and
giving his creditors time to mako money and
pay without sacrificing their property, whom
he might have pressed their property to sale
and bought it for triAe Strictly sobcr and
temperate in oil things, ho was highly re-.
spotted in this community and will be greatly
missed. Col. Lovinggood represented old
Pickens District in the Legislature ono or
two terms, but he had no political aspirations
and sought no preferment in that line. His
remains will be inferred ut Cheoheo on
Wednesday, where they will rest by his wife,
until tho last trump shall awake the dead to
lilo.

pect considerable legislation that will be
valuable to the country. For two days OF
this week the House considered the proprie-
ty Of adjourning on account of the limited
appropriation for incidental and other print
ing, and there was some strong arguments
in favor of the move, but after due consider
alton it was decided to accept the situation
and work for the best interests of the terri
tory, whether respected by the Congress of
the United States or not. Already a num-
Der of bills have been drawn to cover the
subjects suggested by the ROCKY MOUNTAIN
HUsBANDMAN, and if there is not too much
meddling by knowing members" and as
pirants. to fame, they will become laws.
From the best information we can gather
there is no disposition to enact a great num-
Der of laws but IN the contrary there APP
pears a desire to mend defects now existing
and pass but few new ones. AS yet most of
the bills in preparation are designed for the
promotion of the live stock interests. On
the subsidy subject there seems to have
grown a strange and unusual change. Rep
resentative men who only a few years ago
disagreed with us and would willingly have
voted to give out right an enormou gift to
Jay Gould, loading the country with a debt
which we could not out live, now appear
free in their expressions OF thanks that the
territory has escaped the great burden. So
confident are they that the Utah Northern
will be built into Montana's center that they
boot at the thought OF even granting an ex-
emption of the road bed from taxation for
any length Of time whatever. There is
such a great contrast in the arguments
now to those produced a few years ago
when these same friends wanted to give a
subsidy that we who opposed them are now
almost tempted into a sympathy with
Gould. But wise legislators sometime
change, and we would not be at all sur
prised that when these honorable legislative
bodies have time to reflect a little, they will
conclude that their friend is entitled to
sympathy, and will willingly agree to omit
the small matter of collecting a tax on his
iron rails and ties for, say ten or Is years.
We will see.
