GEN. GARFIELD,S ILLNESS.

A Washington letter says the minority OF
the committee on expenses incident to Gen.
Garfeld's illness will oppose the extravagant
allowance to the physicians made by the ma
iority. They will not recommend any specific
amount, but will oppose anything like S25, ,0OC
for DR.. Bliss, and theirs in proportion. 1t ap'
pears that the CO omittee has had stormy
time over the consi, eration. At the last meet
ing Blackburn denounced the doctors and de-
clared that it would be a burlesque and all i'll
suit to the intelligence of the country to pay a
man $25, 900 for treating a pus cavity for two
months as gunshot wound and never discov-
ering his mistake until the dissecting knife re-
vealed it after the victim was dead. The
friends of the high allowances, it is said, have
been trying to arrange for the passage of their
bill through the House the same day with a
rush and without reference, trusting to senti-
ment to aid the accomplishment of this end.
The minority, however, will insist that the
bill take its place On the calendar and submit
to the light of examination and discussion

THEINUNDATED SECTION.

A dispatch of last Friday from Bayou Sayra,
La, says that on that day there was fear
full mass of water escaping from the river at
that point. The gap was about 900 feet
wide.
A New Orleans dispatch of the same day
says: The New Orleans, Chicago and St.
Louis Railroad is again submerged and is i'm
passable in the neighborhood of Water Valley,
Miss. The overflow has assumed alarming
proportions, inundating all that section of the
country The trains are unable to proceed
further north than Cotfeeville station, this
side of Water Valley. Capt. Richard Sinott,
arrived from Red River, reports 250 families
below Alexandria living on RATS and in a de-
plorable condition. He thinks the State
should send them rations at once, or that some
private provision should he made to relieve
their great misery. The levees along the New
Orleans city front are inspected daily, well
guarded weak points strengthened and every
precaution taken to prevent a crevasse. The
same precautions are taken all along the line
from Baton Rouge to the Gulf.
On Saturday, in reply to a request from
Gov McEnery, the Secretary of War ordered
100, 600 rations to be delivered to the Commits
sioner at New Orleans for sufferers by the
floods.
The situation on Sunday is given in the fol-
lowing dispatches
A special from Helena, Ark, says : The
river has fallen an inch, but the overflow in
the city has risen an inch. Careful watch is
being kept OH the levee, and every effort is be-
ing put forth to make assurance doubly sure.
The relief committee have their hands full and
are doing good work. Rations for $50 persons
were issued yesterday. These do not include
applicants who are supplied by the marshal as
special commissioner. Many colored persons
are coming from the lower districts, and, from
the outlook now, labor will he scarce on plan
tations when the time fOrmaking crops comes
Intelligence from Clarendon, fifty miles from
here, gives gloomy picture OF the situation
there. Little or no business is being done
there and the water in some places is six feet
deep in the streets. The board of health all
nounced Yesterday that starving cattle had
been killed and sold in the market, and passed
resolutions calling on the city authorities to
prohibit such sales as being dangerous to the
health of the city.
At New Orleans the river showed the high
est record of the season, being at q z. NJ, OH
" six inches below the high water mark OF
1874.

by the secretary of war to ascertain the condl-

tion of affairs on the Mississippi says From
point twenty miles below Memphis, where
the first break on the levee occurred, the en-
tire country is one vast sea of water. The peo-
pie all through this submerged region are ut
terly destitute, and in starving condition.
Their stock has been drowned and they are
living in gin-houses, stable-lofts and the upper
stories of cabins. Hundreds are subsisting on
parched corn. Many have been temporarily
relieved by the distribution of Government ra-
tions, but others could not be reached and
their suffering is very great. The levee along
1 the river front is broken at forty different
places between Memphis and Arkansas City.
AT some points the river is fifty miles wide.
All published reports have fallen far short OF
giving an idea of the damage that has been
done or the destitution prevailing. His first
estimate to the secretary of war that $780, ,OOO
would be required to feed 1S, 600 needy in the
State of Mississippi will, he says, fall short, as
the destitute probably will be double the num-
Der first estimated.
Careful estimates place the number of peo-
pie rendered destitute by theinundation, at not
less than $4,000.
1t is thought the damage and suffering
caused by the overflow will he followed by
some recompense. The Vicksburg Herald
says:
"The situation Of the people OF the valley
is bad enough without having it exaggerated:
The great sensations that have been printed
and pictured have done great harm. Where
crevasses have occurred, the land or the great
er portion of it is, for the time being, lost.
There are very many persons of the Valley un-
injured us yet. We have no doubt that fair
crops will be raised almost in all portions OF
the Valley. While the people in many places
are inconvenienced and losing some of their
live stock, they are, not III such dreadful
plight as has been described, as there are two
months before cotton time is past and the
water is almost sure to subside in time to
raise CROP"
The Marksville, La, Revie'c also takes the
same consideration of the subject 1t says
''But what of these overfows that carry so
much dread with them? Do they not enrich
the land, and are not heavier crops made upon
them? We incline to the opinion that in
point of fact the inundations are beneficial y

EYEslGHT RESTORED.

An unusual case of the restoration of eye
sight is reported to us by DR.. H. G.. Jackson,
the subject being one of his patients, Mr.. An
derson Latham, 6s years of age, and living
seven miles south of town. About thirty
years ago Mr.. Latham lost entirely the sight
of his right eye, the result of an accident, and
it remained sightless until within the past
few days, during which he has been subject to
medical treatment for dropsy of the chest. At
ter the treatment was commenced his diseased
eye began to assume it's normal condition and
now it's power of vision is fully restored.
1t is not claimed that the medical treatment
has had any special influence over the dis
eased organ, though the case presents points
of interest to the medical profession, to say
the least

FARMING IN THE STATE.

A Ridge Spring correspondent OF the
Nesrs and Courier says there is an unusual
area in Edgefleld county planted in wheat and
oats, and the prospect for abundant yield is
good. Farmers are generally making fair
start in preparing for corn and cotton. Com
mercial fertilizers are freely taken, though not
so abundantly as last year. There seems to be
no appreciative diminution of supply Of labor,
notwithstanding the draft made upon our la
boring classes of population by the exodus OF
last winter. Certainly that draft will not Sc
riously affect the production of our county,
even in the present year. Our people have re-
moved many lane fences and have fenced their
pastures Many valuable portions of aban-
doned fields are being prepared fora crop, and
with favorable seasons the yield this year may
be unusually large.
- The Anderson Mteligencer of the 9th says:
''There will probably be larger area of land
in cultivation in this county this year than ev-
er before While the crop of small grain, par
ticularly of oats, is largely in excess of former
years, the acreage in cotton, from present i'll
dications, will be almost as large rs last year,
and in corn somewhat larger" The guano
dealers of Anderson are cutting down the
prices of fertilizers--compe the
farmers who have not yet purchased are rejoic-
ing.
- The Chester Reporter says Farmers from
various sections Of the county report the con-
dition of the small grain crop as most promis'
ing. Not much said about ''that fy'' now.
Some fear that the forward crop may be dam
aged by the April frosts.
- Says the Lancaster Ledger : A few days OF
beautiful weather put the farmers to plough
ing last week. Great quantities of old field
pines have been cleared from the ground, and
our farmers, we hope, may be impressed with
the necessity of planting all their low land in
corn. ...
1t is remarkable fact, says the Williams
burg Herald, that over $4,000 changed hands
last week in Kingstree for the purchase OF
mules and horses most of it being ready
cash and not advanced by factors.
- In Spartanburg county there have been
registered this year 1000 agricultural liens.

STATE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

The Columbia correspondent of the Angus
ia Chronicle and ConstitMionalist brings his
political horoscope on the field in this State
with the following results:
Some of our State papers said that the polit-
ical campaign opened when the Legislature
adjourned, but it is not improbable that lit
tie, just little, electioneering was done pre-
vious to that time, and soon the pot will be
boiling and bubbling. "" .
The most prominent gentlemen so far men,
toned for Gubernatorial honors, with the ex-
ception of Governor IIagood, are Comptroller
General Bratton and Governor
Kennedy. Both will make good races, as
they have many warm personal friends and
old war comredes, who will 'spread'' them
selves for their respective candidates. 1t is
said that General Bratton has never sought
office, but has worthily won honors that have
been conferred upon him unasked, and would
make safe Executive. Gen. Kennedy is a
genial friend, Il fine orator, capital stump
speaker and possesses a personal magnetism
that would draw friends to him and win ad-
vocates for his cause. Perhaps no man i'll the
State would make a more popular OF efficient
Executive.
There is strong disposition in some pOr-
tions of the State to renominate Governor
Hagood. 1t has been generally understood
that if Governor HagOod consulted his person
al wishes that he would retire from political
life at the end of his term, but he could not
refuse the nomination if lie believed that his
people desired him reelected. He has made
an admirable Executive, and is much stronger
to day, with the people, than when he was
nominated, in 1880, although he was unani-
mously nominated at that time.
The second place on the ticket-Lieutenant
Governor doubtless be filled by Hon. j.
G. Sheppard who isa young man of commanding
abilities, and has rendered his State good SER
vice..
For Congress at Large the following are
understood to be in the race: Major L. G.
Baker, of Charleston; Col. j. N. Lipscomb,
of Newberry; E. B. Murray, cf Anderson j.
L. Orr, of Greenville VIM. Elliot, of Beau
fort; George Johnstone, of Newberry; James
Calison, of Edgefeld; A. L. Smythe, of
Charleston Harry Hammond, of Aiken ; w.
II. Perry, of Greenville; Col. Blue, Of Marion
j. j. Hemphil, of Chester. A few others are
waiting to get the consent of their friends
before they allow theirnamesto be used. 1t it
needless to say this consent will be obtained
if their friends happen to be in the nomina-
ting conventions.

theMaddox Mill property. He ran it to 81, 500,
and the best of it is, he had the money and
property to make good his bid. This man
was emancipated without dollar in his pocket
and by industry, good judgment and economy
is now well off in this worlds goods. His
money he made at farming, while hundreds Of
farmers in this county have in that time
squandered their farms and gone in debt.
Mattison never buys on credit, but general

not pay in this country. When we hear
man say he can't make living on good farm,
we think there is fault somewhere.

THE TOZER ENGINE.

Attention is directed to the advertisement
of the Tozer Engine, on the fourth page OF
this issue, manufactured by Tozer q Dial,
Columbia The foundry and machine works
of this firm is an establishment in which the
State may take pride, as it is the most exten-
sive and has the best equipment of appliances
and machinery of any similar establishment
south of Richmond. The establishment en-
ploys regularly from sixty to seventy hands,
and though engines are usually kept ahead of
orders, yet if an order is received for an en-
pine ranging in size from six to eighteen horse
power that may not be on hand, it can be fur
nished in from three to six days. They make
boilers as we'll as engines, completing the ell

Mr.. Tozer.
AS an evidence of the popularity of the Tozer
engine in the western part of the State, in An
derson county alone, there are ffty-four in
operation, and wherever introduced it gives
entire satisfaction. Besides portable engines,
they also manufacture stationary engines and
large variety of other machinery adapted to
the needs of our people. A superior qualifi-
