Federal Prosecutions.

There has not been day sinoc the death OF
President Garfield that the Stalwart tendencies
OF Arthur has not shown itself moro or less
His appointments, with one or two exceptions,
have been taken from that wing of the party
It was natural, therefore, for Mr.. Brewster,
Attorney General, to give Stalwart yell in this
direction before the day fixed for the prosecu-
tioh Of these cases to commence. We think
however, it was very harmless proceeding,
although it exhibited tho partizan animus of the
accidental administration.
II has been two years since the election was
held at which it was alleged that corrupt and
fraudulent practices occurred. Why this delay
II the Government was in earnest in vindicatinq
the rights of the negroes and handful of low
white men who vote the Radical ticket for the
purpose Of holding and enjoying tho Federal
Offices in South Carolina? This to our mind is
concldsive-that The Government is more in
terested in fostering hybrid party in South
Carolina than in viadcating the purity of the
ballot box, and we believe this will be tho YER.
dict of tho whole country. Under this belief
the people Of the State are ralying to tho side
Of those who have been long indicted, but arr
now for the first time in two years brought up
for trial. Money is being raised by tho Demo-
crats in their behalf and able counsel have been
employed for their defence.
We aro not to be frightened by this Stalwart
raid into the belief that the persons indicted
will necessarily be convicted. Some of the
Witnesses against them may be ignorant and
venal, but wrong cannot in open day be done
In the court room, although some of the ma
ohinery of the ooart is no better than it ought
TO be. If these persons are guilty of the
offences charged lot them be punished and let
the country know that justice can be done in
the South as we'll rs elsewhere.

The Extra Session.

Without any premonitioG whatever the ques-
tion Of an extra session Of the Legisloturo hos
been raised FOR the purpose Of re. distributing the
State before the Congressional election ooours
next fall. Our Senators and some Of our Rep.
resentatives at Washington favor this course
Col. Aiken opposes 1t, but none Of them give
reasons one way or the other for the course
marked out by them. This is to be regretted,
because IL might have thrown light on The situa-
uon and enabled the people of the State 10
come to proper conclusion. There seems 10
bo no doubt but that tho Governor will convene
tho Legislature In extra session for this pur-
pose.
According 10 the apportionment Of Congress
We are to have seven Representatives. This
would give the election of two members by tho
State at large, and the Legislature before it's
adjournment made provision for holding IN
election for this purpose.
The Legislature also passed law which pro-
vides that there shall be separate boxes and
separate managers Of election for the State and
Federal elections. This law practically divorces
us from the Federal elections and really gives
them up to the Republicans IF the Legislature
is to be called together wo hopo this law will
be, repealed and the people left FREQ Us in tho
other States to join in all the elections in which
the Democratic party is in anywise interested.
II ought to bo remembered that the Lcgsla-
fnre has been in session much longer period
the last session than usual, md that it's legisla-
ton, whether for good or evil, has had preju-
diciaT effect upon tho public mind.
III the Legislature is caled together what will
n ~ NJ, Tho not ,tn 10 Ia
We are, however, uncompromisingly opposed to
the extra session If other legislation than that
mentioned by ls is to bo acted upon.

Our Farm Operations.

We spent day on Tugaloo River last
week. On tho way We observed large
amodnt Of small grain, chiefly oats, had
been planted and they were looking we'll
and promising fair yield. With no dis,
aster the oat crop will bo much larger than
usual and will servo to bridge ovor the
short yield Of corn last year. 1t is sur
pricing to US that our farmers do not givo
much larger portion of their hplands to
oats. They have been selling for years at
from sixty to ninety cents per bushel and
it seems to US they would pay better than
cotton, though both should be planted and
and all crops diversified for sure profit. To
SOW, cut and haul up an acre of oats would
hardly cost above two dollars and The yield
per aoro of ordinary land is from twenty
five to seventy five bushels. Even at
twenty FIVE bushels they would pay better
to manure and SOW than cotton would, and
thoy arc about as sure to command the
cash. Wheat Is not sown SO largely, but it
looks we'll.
It is wonderful to note the rapid progress
our people arc making in agriculture. Wo
see the use Of two and three horse plows is
Beginning to become popular and people arc
beginning to get stumps out of the way for
their flee use. We also sec number Of

A Lady g.. the NIat.rr

That 'womans vii Is often superior to mans
wisdom," was convincingly proved in circum.
stance that occurred in this city recently. 1t
appears that Mr.. Ludwig Schwarzlcr, widely
known grocer on Station Road, suffered with a
very painful rheumatic headache to such a
degree that he was obliged to seek the aid of a
physician. All medicines he used were Of no
avail. This induced Mrs Schwarzlcr to buy ST.
Jacobs Oil. She procured bottle for her hus.
band. With the second application he found
relief. The pain left him and he is rs well as
ever again. remedy acting rs promptly MS
this certainly deserves universal patronage.

damages caused by the killing of Grant,
has proved rather peculiar trial on &C
count of sickness and death among the
families of the jurors.
The first delay was occasioned last Mon
day when A. W. Fisk, of Moline, one of
jurors was found to be sick. The case was
accordingly postponed until the following
day.
On Tuesday Van Reeves, another juror.
was informed that his brother had been
killed by lightning, and the juror was ox-
cused.
An agreement was entered into between
opposing counsel to try the case with eleven
men and the examination of witnesses was
in progress. 1t is thought the case
will be given to the jury tomorrow.
At a late hour this morning, Fisk, one
OF the jurors, was taken with Il chill, and
the case was continued until tomorrow.
