He seemed to feel confident that the pay

Concerning this proposed trip to the East, the
Archbishop said that he did not at present think
he would take it. He seemed to feel that the
business to be done there could be transacted
without his personal attention, which was moro
needed here.
The work OF selecting q Condjutor for the Dio-
cese is to be gone about Immediately. The Rev.
Or. Caltashan, the private secretary of the
Archbishop, is about to write to the different
bishops Of the Province, viz: OF Cleveland,
coyington. Louisville, and Detroit, to cali them
to the synod to be held for that purpose In this
city in week or two. This Synod OH meeting
WILL select the names OF three clergvmen prob
ably from this diocese, though the choice il not
limited, which they will forward to the Arch
bishops Of the United States for their approval.
II these latter approve OF them, they will then
be sent to Rome to be passed on By the Congrc-
cation Of Cardinals, who will select from the
three the name OF the one to fill the position,
after which the Pope will issue his bull appoint
Ing him to the charge
As will be seen BY the letter sent to the Arch
bishop. this coadj djutor is to have the right of
succession to the present Prelate, and on his
removal by death or other cause will become
Archbishop Of the Diocese. It is thought that
tue selection will be from among the clergy of
this Diocese.

The new Bishop Of Rome is tall and spare,
with a grand patrician air. Hc has magnificent
| head crowned with white hair, strongly marked
features, the aspect Of an ascctic, with some
thing na:blelikc III the general appearance OF
the figure. His face Is lighted by a piercing;
look, and his aminb1e and paterual smile goes
straight to the heart OF those whom he al
dresses. His voice is sunorous and very pleas

thut Of Plus TX. Pope Leo has "the double
cloouencc Of the head and Of the heart"
Though he is moderate, he by no means lacks

Because answered he, Leo XII. was the bcne-

celebrated sculptor Tadolini. The latter, not con-

went to tllv Vatican and asked permission OF

But we have said nothing out Of the Way for
IN Israelite who has learned his religion. The
belief in angels, spirits. and MI interlnedfatng
powers, good or evil, between God nnd man is
idolatry.
The prophets, before the Babylonian exile,
knew not Of any angels or spirits, and did not
ua,ne any. The Hebrew word. which Is trans
lated - angels means only messenger" and
may bc applied to the elements, to men, and to
ANYTHING which serves as cause for an effect, rs
means for m end, and such applications Of the
word are very frequent in the earlier prophetic
writings Tic exilcs OF Babylonia have become
inclined to follow the popular belief OF the ma
tions among which they have been dispersed,
man and the Divinity. And since that time the
Jewish teaching OF the supernatural dates its
existence not Us positive, but as negative
system From tho first mention Of an angel,
latest Kabbalistic teachings Of the sephiroth,
the whole system OF the supernatural
among the Jews Was an adoption of the
nopular belief Of other nations with a
view of lesseniug its irreligous tendencies. As
the rabbins have done in the cases OF ablution
bv the Brahmins, the worship Of tie moon By
tile Persiaps, the worship OF the COCK by the
Parsees, seeing that tie masses OF the Israel
ties were Incliacd to adopt these bupcrstitlons,
they have introduced them as ceremonies Tor

at.least what it was last year, the consum-
ers be advised not to purchase single
pound, and in the future unanimously and
earnestly resist any attempt on the part OF
guano manufacturers or Others TO eItort
from the farmer ruinous prices for their
productions.
Resolyed, That the President of this meet
ing be, and he is hereby, instructed to furn-
ish copy of these proceedings to the Pres
ident of the Senate and the Speaker of the
House as soon as the Assembly shall meet
at its next session, and that he, in the name
of the people of Anderson County, petition
the Assembly to repeal all charters granted
to companies to dig and mine phosphates
in the navigable rivers and streams Of this
State, and to enact such legislation rs will
place the whole phosphate interest in the
hands OF the State, where it properly be-
longs.
The thanks of the meeting were upon
motion returned to the Masonic fraternity
for the use of their Hall. The proceedings
were ordered to be published in the Ander-
son, Columbia and Charleston papers, and
the meeting adjourned subject to the call Of
the Chairman.
The Hall was crowded, and the uttermost
enthusiasm prevailed. 1t was evident from
the sentiment manifested throughout the
County that the people did not intend to
use phosphates to any extent without tho
agreement in the Augusta Convention was
cancelled. If the companies are wise they
will restore their prices for cotton option to
last years rates, for if they do not they will
find that a strong influence will be brought
TO bear to secure State manufacture and
then they will: have to sell for much less
than they have done heretofore. The meet
ing was temperate but determined, and it
will no doubt have beneficial effect.

The Laws of Rent.

Mr.. EDITOR: a little sad experience,
within the last few weeks, has convinced
me that some improvement on our rent
laws is absolutely essential to the future
prosperity Of our country. Underthe slave
labor system the question was one of minor
importance, but under the present changed
condition OF our labor system, becomes
question of the highest importance, that the
mutual rights and duties of the tenant sys-
tenn should be SO plain, so simple, so effec-
tive and so cheap, that resort to litigation
would scarcely ever be necessary. In order
to attain this end, the first step that ought
to be taken by the Legislature is to extend
the jurisdiction of Trial Justices so as to
embrace all farm rents, even to tho sum Of
five hundred dollars, or more if necessary.
To do this it would be necessary to make
said courts court of record, where oil rent
and labor contracts for each township
should be filed. The propriety of said
change can be seen almost ct glance.
Take case: A renter, in whom the land
lord had the utmost confidence, on the plea
Of getting better price for his cotton, takes
his entire crop TO Greenville, sells out, puts
his money in his pocket and runs away.
There is still q portion of the crop left, the
corn, cotton seed, &C., but it had been re-
moved to another farm than the one on
which the crop was grown, with numerous
smaller creditors than the landlord. The
question at once arises, does the removal of
the crop from the farm on which it was
grown abate or modify one iota of the land
lords rights? If it does, of course, if the
rent is even hundred dollars, while he is
gone to the Court House to obtain the
necessary papers, other creditors with
smaller claims may, in much shorter time,
get an attachment, and to that extent put
the landlord to disadvantage. Then,
again, the proceedings in such case, as the
law now stands, would cost probably five
times as much as the same kind of process
would cost in magistrates court.
There is another question of perhaps far
greater magnitude, in the case supposed,
which is, docs the homestead apply, and, if
so, to what extent? These and other ques-
tions which would naturally suggest them
selves, in the case supposed, demands
thorough investigation, and the next Legis-
lature, if the late act does not cover the
ground, should make the necessary amend
ments. A FARMER.
