Nay, I have done.

an anecdote, the truth Of which cannot be
doubted, that brings out certain points OF
bis character, as varnish does the dimmed
traits of an oil painting upon canvass. He
had no patience with attempts 10 convince
him by reasoning With him. Speeches were,
therefore. lost upon him; and, when
ever there was no escape from them, he
quietly settled himself into deep sleep. In
his mercantile dealing he became well ac-
ouainted will General Casey, of CRANKY. a
mutual attachment was gradually establish
ed between COL Summer and ..'Chineral Cas-
ey." Summer admired his friend as a man
whose opinion 'twould do 10 follow; and
Casey saw in the gentleman from Dutch
Fork" rough diamond of great value,
which It wonld be pity TO cut into facets.
They were always together: and talked less
about taxes and appropriations, than about
mill-seats and meadows. His neighbors
would gather around him upon his return
home and ask him: "Well Summers wat
has de Ictchislater done? VIII we all pc al
| lowted to hang man for shtealin, afder
dis?" Whereupon the great man would
hook his thumbs in the arm-holes of his vest,
and say: "Chineral Casey is willin' to vote
for it."
The anecdote of which spoke is this:
| One day, a long discussion began and the
question was ready for vote only towards the
close of the day. Col. Summerscon sank into
O profound slumber. The eloquence OF the

Cation Seed Meal.

The increased sale Of CONNER
cial fertilizers shows that the far
mers are looking forward to larger
crops than those Of last year: and it
points unerringly to the fact that
the cotton crop will receive more
than it's due share Of attention.
The faith that the farmer has in
commercial fertilizers is surprising,
and it causes him to leave droath
and unfavorable weather out of his
calculations. He is disposed to
stry little Of every thing that
comes along" without due regard
to cost. This is clearly seen in
the rapidly growing sales of cotton
seed meal as a fertilizer. The
manufacture Of cotton seed oil
must prove a paying branch of in
dustry so long as the meal finds &
ready market; indeed it seem to us
that there must be greater profit in
the meal than in the oil itself. But we
cannot understand why the far
mer invests in cotton seed meal,
unless he wants a commercial fer
tilizer of some kind. and has the
greatest faith in what he knows
least about.
We do not deny that this meal is
a very good fertilizer; but the man
who buys it, pays great deal more
than it is worth. Examine the fg-
ures. The farmer sells his cotton
seed at fifteen cents a -bushel, or
exactly fifty cents per hundred
pounds; cotton seed meal sells at
one dollar and fifty cents hundred
pounds. Or, to go farther, the
farmer sells his cotton seed at ten
dollars a ton, and pays thirty dollars
a ton for cotton seed meal In other
words he pays the mill twenty dol
lars ton, for removing the SUBJ
stance from the seed. And the
man who says that cotton seed
meal is better fertilizer than cot
ton seed, takes the extreme and
unreasonable ground that vegetable
matter is improved as fertilizer
by being deprived Of its SUBJ
stance. We do not find fault with
cotton seed meal, or with those who
sell it; we simply feel that our far
mers cannot afford to pay anybody
twenty a ton for grinding cotton
seed into meal.
We think our farmers should
look ahead, and count costs. We
should like to see them raise their
farm supplies, and make at least
the greater part of their fertilizers
at home. This would be infinitely
better than the system they are
now working upon. And in any
event they should not pay more
than ten dollars for a ton Of cotton
seed meal.

The latest, story Of Vincent the
absconding treasurer of Alabama
is that, at the time Of his departure,
he handed $4,000 to his wife, for
her use. Upon opening the pack
age she found the first bill to be
one of the denomination of $4,000.
This led her to conclude that it was
public money; hence she went to
the Capitol and turned it over to
the State officials. Nobody seems

A dificrlty occurred in Colum-
bia, on the night of the 21st, be-
tween W. B. Cash, son of the duelist,
and Mr.. Heron, one Of the defend
ants in the Fairfield election cases.
In dispage as to the fairness Of
the last election, Heron, who is an
old man, Gallo Cash a liar. Both
were under the influence Of
liquor, and Cash struck the old man
several severe blows. Both were
arrested, and a search revealed the
fact that Cash carried two pistols
concealed upon his person. On the
following morning Mayor Rhett
fined the two b,awlers $2G each for
fighting, and fined Cash SO for
carrying a concealed weapon in
violation OF city ordinance. Casn
has been bound over to the next
term Of court for carrying conceal
ed deadly weapons. He was re-
presented by Willard and Snyder.
Snyder was insolent and imperti-
nent, and protested that Cash, as a
Deputy United States Marshal, had
the right to carry arms. The Mayor
said he would see if the United
States Government could give its
employees power to violate the city
ordinances.

The following extract is taken
from the Registers account of the
proceedings in the Fairfield election
cases:
Judge Willard launched out into
the sea Of eloquenee and oratory at
this point, and was winding up in
good style when he suddenly came
from lofty height to make a per-
sonal remark. He said s:Mr. Com
missioner, that man right at your
left distracts me very much by his
constant grinning.''
The ':man at the left who had
given vent to his risibles was Mr..
Gonzales, reporter for the Neags and
Courier, to whom all eyes were now
turned. He cast his eyes on Judge
Willard and said: "What do you
mean, sir /? You have no right to
speak that way to me, sir.''
The Commissioner tried to hold
her cool, and suggested to Mr..
Gonzales to move his chair, but he
declined, saying hesswould keep that
seat or go out.
Col. Haskell, who keeps cool un-
der the most exasperating circum-
stances, said; 'sCome here, Coma
les; take my chair; I'll take yours;
but may come under the rebuke
of counsel for Iexpect I will have
to laugh. You take my place, and
he won't see you laugh
Mr.. Gonzales, during his move
ment to Colonel Haskell s chair, said
81 will laugh whenever he says any
thing susceptible of ridicule."

ment put up seven witnesses, all
white, who proved without excep-
ton that Attorney-General Brew

They testified that there had been
no violation of the law at their
precinct; that the polls were con-
structed according to law; that they
had not been hindered from voting;
and that they had not voted be-
cause they did not feel disposed
to vote, and did not like the way

Senator Logan advocates the ap-
preparation by the general govern
ment, of at least $40,0OO,OO0 to aid
the free schools of the country; he
would not object to $60,000,000.
He thinks that the distribution Of
the funds among the States should
be made "in proportion to popu-
lation." He rejects illiteracy as a
basis Of distribution, on the ground
that 1t would throw too large
percentage of the funds into the
Southern States. And the plan
which he advocates would Of course
give the lions share to the North.
If any appropriation is ever made,
illiteracy should be adopted as the
only fair basis.
