had the industry to read tho efforts OF these states
men seem to regard them es moderately able, but
not at all fresh There is an obvious impression in
Massachusetts, that the whole country Is agItated
by he discussion. This We feel authorized, after
careful diagnosis, to pronounce an error.
1t is remarked with some asperty by The Utica
Observer that there are people who still read and
respect THE TRIBUNE. There are, brother, a mil
hon or two OF them.
We venture to hope it will no. be considered

Mr.. Bookwater's Democracy is of very recent
origin. No longer ago than last year he was pro-
testing in letters to the newspapers that no had
never voted with any party except the Republican;
that he voted for Fremont, for Lincoln twice and
Grant twice. that all the personal interest he took
in politics went to the support of the Republican
party that he was emphatcally in favor of the
war policy and of emancipation. In September.
1880 he wrcte letter declaring that he had yet TO
cast his first Democratic vote, and saying: Z" have
never made political speech IN my life. and 10y the

Hartmann. O'Donovan Rosa and all the other
seekers after liberty by means OF dynamite and
assassination, are in fair way TO find out that this
country has no sympathy with them in warfare of
that kind. While Americans have nothing but

struggling for freedom against oppression they
have nothing but detestation tor every man who Is

Tewfk, is afraid of his own soldiers, and is now
calling on England to protect him against an

and France have long had his finances in Joint
charge, and either of them would no doubt be
glad to assume a complete guardianship over
the country if the other would consent.

Tie Erie Railway and its branches and lis extcn-
sion known as the Atlantic and Great Western,
were the only roads in the North of the wide gauge
of five feet common to all roads in the South Last
year these main lines altered to the gauge of
four feet eight inches. the uniform gauge OF the
Northern railroads; and the work of narrowing the
Erie branches il now going on. so that we shall
shortly have only the narrow gauge roads in the
North Of course industrial and economic measures
nave dictated these changes; the conyenienccs Of
business and transportation requiring that the CON
nectioDs of all the roads should be perfect Tho
gauge of the Mississippi and Tennessee Road has
also just been changed to the narrow gauge. Pre-
cisely why is not stated in the dispatches and it is
difficult to understand since tho road has no con-
nectou ut either end with any other than the broad
gauge reads common TO the South. Local reasons
may have existed of which we know nothing: bat
the 1act is worthy of notice in other than the in
duStraI sense. lt was fayorte theory OF William
II. Seward, advanced after the close of the late war
and while ho was still Secretary OF State under
President johnson, that the establishment of u uni
form railway gauge for the whole Union was or
would some day be important political move
ment. lie believed that it would prove eventually
TO DO " "a material bond of the Union" leading TO
the spanning of the principal streams dividing the
North and South, more particularly the Ohio and
Potomac Rivers, with numerous railway bridges,
and, in facilitating commercial intercourse bring
about better understanding and feeling between
The lately antagonistic sections and people Since
Mr.. Seward published this wow the Ohio River has
been twice SPAWNED, at ouisville and Cincinnati,
and from the latter place South as far rs Chatia-
nooga a railway of the Northern narrow gauge has
been built Possibly TO tle alteration of the Misss-
sIpp and Tennessee Road more encouraging sig
nihcance may be attached than appears
There has been Revolutionary Congress in

the hour had como when hopes and expectations
must give place TO decisive action She forgot
apparently to say what action" Another lady.
Nile. Louise Michel, said that for " ten years she
had dreamt of the coming storm which will DESTROY
the last throne and the last altar" Nile. Michel
also expressed her disapprJbatOn IF the French
Republic which she regards only M anol her
species of tyranny" Miss Le Compile who upon this
important occasion represented the United states of
America said that capital was the curse OF America
as of Europe" From this we infer that she is not
only for killing all kings but FOR abolishing all
currency whether hard OF soft. What this udicious
Miss le Compile would be for next we are quite uu-
able to suriuise

Lord Salisbury, the Conservative leader in
the Upper House of the British Parliament
defined his position on the Irish Land bill
yesterday. He will support the bill, but will
stand by the amendments for o clearer defini-
ton of fair rent, for the exemption OF estates
managed on the English system, and of ten
ancies of over fl00 yearly rental and for
the maintenance of the inviolability of leases.
The struggle of the Conservatives now de-
generates from one against the principles of
the bill TO one over its details. They retreat
as they always do when they find public
opinion against them.

Our Crops.


Since the rains of this month have
come the crops have improved a
good deal. The cotton in the Flat
Rock, Liberty Hill and Lynches
creek sections will average nearly two
thirds of an ordinary yield, while in
West Wateree and below Camden
about one third to half crop is ex'
pected. There are some isolated spots
in the sections mentioned where not
a fifth of q crop will be gathered, but
in these cases the drouth was unusu
ally severe.
Excepting in the bottom lands
along the river and creeks very little
corn will be made. The late corn is
coming out splendidly and will give
nearly a full yield.
The potato crop throughout the
county appeared to be almost an
entire failure, the drouth having in
many places killed out the vines, but
those who managed to keep enough
to rcplant after the rain will make
enough seed to plant next year ,
Not many peas will be gathered
but the vines will be cut for hay.
The rice crop of West Wateree y;
promises a good yield at present, y
the rains will continue good fr9m
this time forward. II

Prof. Ennis, of the Naval Observa
tory at Washington, believes tina
the tails ofthe comets are electric light
eff these tails had any substance" h
argues, "the laws of motion are con
stantly violated by them. The grea
comet of 1S43 went so near the sui
that it passed from one side to th'
other in few hours. Its immense
tail, 100, 100000 miles long, was shifted
completely, so that it pointed directly
10 an opposite direction. Gould tha
be: so if it were composed of any sub.
stance? Gould comet swing 100000
900 miles of tail around SO quick as
that? The electricity is generated BY
evaporation. As the comets approach
the sun, the heat becomes more intense
the evaporation and accumulation Of
electricity more rapid, the repuisive
force greater, and the tails longer.
sometimes the materials become com.
pIctely evaporated. Then the comet
has no tail"
A dispatch from Las Vegas, N. NJ.
dated tbe 18th inst, says that news has
just reached the city that the Apaches
had swoop"d down on small Mexican
village eighteen miles from Rio Puero,
point on the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad, and murdered twenty. seven
out Of twenty-nine inhabitants. The
two Mexicans who made good their es-
cape were nearly exhausted when they
reached the railroad, and had their
horses shot down frou under them be-
fore getting out ofreach Of the Indians.
From the scant news obtaiDable on ac-
count of the broken telegraph commu-
nica,iou, it appears that rhe Apaches
completely surrounded the village, thus
making escape for the doomed inhap>
itants impossible. The track Of the
Indians on their outward march through
the wilderness:is marked bymurder and
bloodshed, and:the justly indignant citi-
zens Of that section of country demand
that the government put large force of
troops'in the field Immediately and
wipe entirely oul. Of existence the ,sav.
ages who are committing SUCH terrible
slaughter and atrocities among the
whites and Mexicans. =.

A High Handed Piece of Business.

During the early part of last week
about fifty negro men went to the
store of Major Mclaughlin, on a tur-
pentine farm near Kelly's Bridge,
over Lynches Greek, and told the
Major that they had come there for
some provisions. If he did not give
them what they wanted they would
take it, as they had come there with
that determination. No one was with
the Major at the time TO help him
and he concluded that ii was better
to accede to their, demands than to
have his store ransacked by them.
We have not learned yet what MIR.

The Meeting at Cureton's Mill.

On Saturday last q meeting OF the
"anti stock law men" was held at
Cureton's Mill. 1t consisted OF
about fifteen or twenty white men
and about forty of our African breth-
rem, The meeting was handsomely
illuminated by Mr.. c. P. Bowen and
Mr. Asa Evans, who in burning
lanouage elucidated the. great prin.
cipies involved in this absorbing
Question. We learn that Mr.: Bowen
frst spoke, and, as a matter of course,
his eloquence is so well known and
thoroughly established that we will
not attempt synopsis Of his ad
dress for fear of doing him an IN
Justice. He was followed by Mr.
Syans who told the negroes in en-
phatic language that they were free
men" This was q brilliant blaze
for our friend, and it doubtless
brought down the audience, We
were under the impression that they
had been freed for fifteen years, ano
whether Mr.. E. has just found it out
or whether his followers were una
ware of the fact until he told them
so, we know not. Let it be as Il
NAV. tho commentary is not praise
worthy. We would be glad to have
light on the subject.

The Fence Question.

| 1ho IOilCp -SuOooiVh'
Mr.. EDITOR :~Jh hst at this time th'
question of fencing in the stock and
turning out the CROPS seems to be giviDE
the people ofthis section more COD
ceru than ever before. While nearly
all the farmers throd dghout this neigbbor
hood who own lant are in favor Of the
law, there are great many persons who
own stock and na land who are op'
posed to it. The argument of the
non property holders appears to be very
absurd to me, and has not the least
SAVIOR of justice or equity in it.
They lift up theiE hands in horror al
the very idea oe>depriving tho '.poor
widow" who may( own cow but nc
land, of the privilege Of pasturiug hel
COW upon the land of another. Ifthese
self.styled advocates of the 'Fpoor widow
can show me any Justice in q law that
forces me TO keep up fences around my
crop at an enormous cost in order that
the widows COW may be pasturcd upon
my unfenced land when the said widow
does not pay me one cent for the privi.
lage of said PASTURE, and does not pay
cent of the tax that have 10 pay
upon said land, then |, can consent to
listen to his argument; but as it stands
now 1t appears to ane'to be an unjust
and iuiquitous Law That compels me to
fence my crops I'd protect them from
the cattle of a persob who does not own
foot of land, but Allows them to rub
at large and feed Upon his neighbor's
property. No one dan feel moro sym.
pathy for, the spobr. widow" and the
orphan than I do, and l am willing to
do everything that a charitable and
Kindly spirit can expect of me to help
them. I will throw my pasture gates
open to the stock of every widow in my
neighborhood who dwns no land of her
own, If our officials fiat Ei'l pass the stock
law.
Farther, 1 would like to ask these
opponents of the laEupon whnt. code of
morals it is that tbeytbase thoir opposi-
ton to it. A nanSEho owns no real
estate should not be allowed to say one
word as 10 how l sball cultivate and
manage my properly that has been

that strict construqionfof our consti-
tuition would so ordeI;it. When. .an -elec-
