The Farmers Aid Association.

This institution, recently changed
from the Patrons to the Farmers
Aid Association, held meeting on
Saturday last at which business OF
Importance was transacted. We arc
little surprised that so few farmers
| OF our county have joined this society
which cmbodies peculiar features for
the protection of their families. One
Of these is that of an insurance com.
pany upon the most reliable and
cheapest plan yet discovered in insti-
tutions of similar nature. 1t is
confined to farmers and mainly to
those OF this county, and unlike other
insurance companies, ladies are re-
ceived as members upon equal foot
ing with their husbands. Farmers
and their wives under thirty. five years
OF age may become members by pay
ing the sum of $500; those whose
ages range from thirty-livc to forty
six pay $500; from forty-six to fifty
five, $500; and from f!ty-lye TO six.
ty, $1,000. Another feature that
commcnds itself to the consideration
OF those who desire TO avail them.
selves Of insurance aid is that after
becoming members no money is paid
until death occurs, thus rendering
it absolutely impossible TO lose any
thing by becoming n member save
the assessment which goes directly TO
the aid of brother farmer.
Not the least important feature in
this scheme is the acquaintance of the
members with each other. Confined
TO single calling, that of the farmer,
and to limited territory, that Of Or
angcburg County mainly, each men,
Der knows the others, the officers who
control the affairs Of the institution
and the manner in which that control
is exercised, Indeed the inner work
ing of the society is all open to the in
spcct;on Of each member; and fraud,
under such circumstunces,is is manifcstly
impossible. We trust that with these
features made known TO the public,
many, who now stand of, will come
forward and join the ASSOCIATION. II

Some time ago the United States
Treasurer issued orders to pay all the
government employees 10 per cent of
their salaries in silver dollars. OF
course any one who depends upon his
salary for support will complain
more or less of the injustice of such
an order, and in some quarters the
Government has been charged With
dealing unfairly by her employees.
TO give some show of right and JUS
tice therefore to this questionable pol.
icy Of The Government, President
Hayes, who is nothing more than an
employee, says he is willing to take

General Grant.

President Grant, after being lion
lied all over Europe and Asia, sailed
from Japan few weeks ago and is
now on his way to the United States.
On his arrival here he will take charge
of that portion Of the Republican par
ty of which he is the recognized lead
er and will direct the working OF his
party machinery in such manner as
to insure his nomination for the next
Presidency. Conkling, who now has
no aspirations in that direction, will
lend lin very material aid in the
great State Of New York. Indeed
the recent nomination Of Cornell, as n
candidate for the Office Of Governor
Of that State. proves the force of the
influence that cunning politician
is able to bring to bear upon the Re-
publican party, and settles the fact
that he is master Of the situation so
far as New York is concerned. Conk-
ling, controlling the Republicans of
New York, will be able to control the
National Convention Of that party
when it assemblies. If SO, Grant is
certainly the coming man. Sherman
without New York will find it difficult
10 sccure the nomination over Gen.
Grant.

to wind up the Bank. These com

Knox County Court, however, oyerruled thls

The plea seems somewhat like the old claim
of sanctuary where an undoubted ohehder

gether. The State lawyers argued that mere was

Government had not acted; therefore Iennes-
see might.
Inc decision OF lub NOuilj lChuOANN -
Justice Field, &C. % that there is great dill
ference between ,ne authority of military
courts in time of peace, and during war or re-
bellion. While the armies of the Union occu-
pied the territory of Southern State as an
enemys country, the officers and soldiers
were not amGnable to the laws or the courts
of the subiugated State. This il not because
of any act of Congress on the subject, but arises
from the nature Of war, which negatives the
possibility of jurisdiction being exercised
bv the tribunals of the one country over per-
sons engaged in the military service of the
other for offences committed while IN such
service. 1t would be homogeneous and absurd
10 permit an officer or soldier Of an invading
army to be tried by his enemy, whose country
he had invaded W bile Tennessee was in the
military occupation of the United States the
laws of the State for punishment of crime were
continued in force for the protection of her
own people only, and did not apply to the in
vadirg army. II is quite possible that one act
may be a double crime by reason of violating
both the law Of the Union and of a State; but
in this instance Coleman did not violate the
State law, because he was not subject to 1t.
The result was that Coleman is ordered to be
delivered over to the Federal authorities Tor
punishment. His prayer for justice is granted
so far that he is to be hanged by the United
states officer instead of 10y the Sheriff of Knox
County, Tennessee.

reference to the predictions Of Democrats
about it, General Ewing's assertions that the
mere attempt to resume, though sure 20 tali'
would be productive of untold horrors,
are sharply contrasted with the indisputaOle
facts. The marvellous success of the Govern
ment in refunding the debt is justly held to
be largely due to its firm adherence TO the
policy of Resumption. He then shows that

discuss in detail, and with all his well-kno"n
power, the position and platforms OF the con-
tending parties. His address is a magazine OF
fact and argument from which many DIS
putants will draw effective weapons as the
fight advances,
These three speeches fairly set forth the
policy and the claims of the Republican party.

Every recognition of the National exist

TO the worth of the party by which
the Union has been preserved Every
proof of the magnificent revival OF in
dustry and trade is proof that the
Republican party, by which resumption has
been achieved and prosperity restored, deserves
the public confidence. That party has con-
Guered rebellion, kindergarten task still
has CONQUERED the enormous debt growing out
of the rebellion. 1t will yet conquer and de-
stroy the party which caused both the rebel
lion and the debt.

NEGROES AGAIN.

The public will be quite ready to receive
with the credit which it deserves the report
of the condition of the negroes in Kansas,
aiycn bv the committee of colored men sent
BIZ the Mississippi planters The lie of the
thing is patent on the face of it. Why should
these men pay the expenses OF a negro COM
mittce to Kansas unless for their own IN
tcrestq Even the most stupid field hand will
have sense enough to know that the master
who has been cheating him of bis hardly-wOn
earnings for years is not going to pay money
IN tenut him TO cmigrate. The trick was
played a little too openly to deceive even
Sambo. But the truth is, the Mississippi
planter is driven to his last card, and plays
rccllessly as usual. When the field hands
first decamped and left him in the lurch, he
threatened Chinese labor. But he knows that
he will find John, with his economical ways
and shrewd eye for the pennies, a tougher
customer TO deal with than the poor, thriitess.
credulous black. Then he threatened the
North with yellow fever, typhus, every
n6xious disease which the flying blacks could
carry with them. None of these have APP
peared among them. Finally, he declared
that the refugees would be driven brutally
back by the people with whose labor they
came to compete instead OF which they have
been kindly welcomed 10y the very poorest of
Northern farmers This Committee OF
" Blacks" is the last expedient; but it is UNI
derstood before it is tried.
There Is one remedy which does not appear
TO have suggested itself to these most short
sighted people-simple honesty. Justice and
fair-dcaling with the negroes are all that are
needed to keep them. They prefer the South
to the North; the climate suits them; they
understand the work and ways of living.
They fled from the rod of their oppressOrs as
unwilingly as the Jews from Egypt, and the
planters have acted in the matter with as
cruel purpose and as fatuous judgment as
ever did purblind Pharaoh.
