discussion. Almost every member on the
floor had something tosay about it. The pre-
vious question was called half a dozen times
and then reconsidered to let some member
say "just ole word" Mr. Allen of Spartan
burg, the father Of the bill, was very earnest
in its support. 1t would, in his opinion,
save millions of dollars year to the poor
farmers who were now the easy prey of
public weighers and designing merchants;
Other members thought the bill useless, and
about half of the country delegations asked
to be excepted from its provisions. Finally.
after about two hours useless talk, the bill
was indefinitely postponed.

A correspondent Of the News and Courier,
writing from Union c. H., under date of the
9th instant, gives the following as the facts in
connection with the Lyles-Thomas tragedy in
Newberry county: "Mr. John Lyles married
two of James Thomas daughters, but both
wives died, leaving Lyles widower second
time. Mr.. Thomas, their father, administer
ed on their estate after their deaths, and it
was at the estate sale that the difficulty oc-
Cured. There were some harsh words be-
tween Mr.. James Thomas, Jr., and Lyles,
his brother.in.law. Lyles became so enraged
that he drew his pistol and began shooting
and Thomas drew his pistol and tried to shoot,
but his pistol would not 90 of. He then ran
away from Lyles and got behind tree to
keep Lyles from shooting him. Mr.. John
Thomas, younger brother of james Thomas,
tried to prevent Lyles from pursuing his
brother, seeing that he (his brother) was de-
fenceless. John was then shot in the head by
Lyles, the ball iuhicting d slight wound. 1t
is thought however, that Lyles did not in
tend to shoot him. Old Mr.. Thomas had by
this time gone near the tree behind which his
son was stationed, and Lyles, seeing him
there, shot at him, the ball taking effect in
the left breast just below the shoulder and in

died Sunday night. Lyles went around the
tree to shoot at James again, when James
threw his pistol at Lyles, and continued his
retreat, trying all The time to keep out of
Lyles' way. Lyles pursued him some distance,

Some Facts for Farmers to Put in
Their Pipes and Smoke.
Charleston News and Courier.

According to our last census there were
100000 of agriculturists in the Uuited
States, and by this time as the new census
will doubtless show, there must be at least
100000, with their families The
average annual expenditure of each Of
these families for articles on which a
"protectiven tariff is laid is estimated
from careful figures at $500. The articles
for which this $500 is expended are
wearing apparel and household articles,
iron work and farming implements.
earthernware and all The multitude of
things which go too keep a family and
provide means for working the land. This
is small average, as it includes many
we'll to do families.
Two hundred dollars each for Z, coo, 900
families is ST., 400, 100000 in the aggregate
expended upon goods which are pro ect :
ed" by the tariff. The average amount of
this protection is, to put the figures so low
that there can be no dispute, 40 per cent.
That is to say they pay for the'necessaries
of life. excepting food, 40 per cent. more
than they would have to pay if there were
no protective tariff and they were allowed
| to buy in the cheapest market they could
find. And if they could buy for 500
what they now pay $149 for it is evident
that they would save 100000. 00J every
year. This vast amount, 100000, 900,
is what the single class of American ag-
rieulturists pay every year for the sake OF
protecting" certain interests.
Now compare this with what the gov
eminent receives from the duties placed
on imports. Last year the total receipts
from customs were $l37 ,250,047. This is
a little more than one-third what single
interest-the agricultural out above
the normal price for the necessaries ot
existence and of labor. There is an
enormous discrepancy here, as every one
can see; an immense expenditure O.
money, which seems to vanish as it passes
from the hands of the farmers under ths
mandate of the government,
But all this $l37, 25O,O4 does not come
from the farmers. AS nearly as can be
estimated not more than 100000 GOO o.
the excess of s4O0, 100000 which they pay
for "protection'' goes to the government
and the sum which they see vanish from
their hands to the profit of nobody is
about $S40,000,000 year.

ELECTION RETURNS.

| PORTLAND, September ~. The claims OF
the Argus that errors have been discovered
in Mr.. Berry's telegraphic returns to wipe
out Davis plurality of il6, as shown by Mr..
| Berry's tables Saturday night, ard make
| Plaisted plurality IN those towns l4-causes
| much excitement here.
| Mr.. Berry says that slight errors have been
found in the telegraphic returns both ways,
| which Illus far do not appear to deprive
Davis of the plurality he appeared to have
| Saturday. As to the statement that errors
have been found in his footings. he says this
is not true. The footings are correct, and
the only question is whether the telegraphic
| report from each town is also correct. These
he is verifying by the official returns as fast
| as they are received at Augusta.
| 1t is possible that the result is so close that
| only the official returns can determine with
| absolute accuracy whether Davis or Plaisted
has the plurality. 1t is settled that nobody
has majority
Some of the Argus corrections of this
morning already appear to be incorrect, and
Mr.. Berrys figures the correct ones.
The Argus, in its tables this morning,
claims that Plaisted has SO votes in Fayette,
while Mr.. Berry's Geographic returns give
him only IS. 1t has been ascertained that
Mr.. Berry's figures are correct, and the
Argus figures wrong. This makes Mr.
Berry's figures TO. Kennebec, and not the
Argus, correct.
The Argus gives Davis only GO plurality in
Washington, but the Washington county
papers print the detailed vote of the county
which shows l2l republican majority. The
Argus claims that the Plaistcd vote in Med
dybemps was 50, but the Machias Republican
says it was only 30. 1t is evident that the
Argus figures are full of blunders.
In Aroostook county the Argus gives Davis
only votes in Bridgewater, where he re-
ceived A votes.
In Franklin county the Argus claims that
Davis has only ~ plurality; but this is less
than ii is known to be.
Returns from Fort Kent, Aroostook, give
Davis Is. Plaisted 1863. Long Island,
Washington, DAVIS :, Plalsted -. Net
fu sion gain 40 Four more Aroostook towns
to come which las. year gave Davis 30,
fusion l0..
This ma.,es only four towns now missing,
and according to Associated Press figures
leaves Davis plurality 344. If the four
| towns not yet reported go as last year Davis
plurality will be 265, surprising the Associ-
ated Press returns to be correct, and thus far
they have been shown to be more tworthy
when compared with returns of town clerks,
than those of the Argus.
NEW YORK, September 20. A despatch
was received at the headquarters of the
democratic National committee tonight,
from Fort Kent, Me-, giving Plaisted l60
majority, making his majority in 497 towns
