ST. PAUL, MINI, March Ex-senator
Sabin has arrived here, and gave an ex-
tended interview on condition that he
should be quoted in his exact language,
as he is apparently getting tired of being
misquoted and placed in false position
by Eastern reporters. Regarding the
statement that the subcommittee ap.
pointed at the meeting at the Grand Pa
ciflc Hotel in Chicago was made up in the
interest of Logan as Presidential candi-
date, the Senator said: 81 will simply say
that the statement is entirely without
foundation. ! believe the committee be-
longs to no man, and will simply act in
the interest of the citizens of Chicago in
securing convenient and commodious
accommodations for the meeting of
the National Republican Convention in
June, and that they will give their friend
~ assistance In securing the creditablc
cohuuct OF that convention in every re.
spect. This committee, though. has
nothing whatever to do with the admis.
sion tickets to the convention. neither
has it responsibility or authority in anv
manner, shape, or form. The entire mat
ter OF the printing and issuing of tickets
OF admission is expressly reserved to the
subcommittee of the National COMMITTEES
and the people of Chicago and the whole
country may rest assured that there will
be no repetition of the dlsgraceiul prac
tees OF the convention Of 1880"
Regarding the differences of opinio,
about the construction Of the call of tn
National Committee, he said: at /
clear to my mind, however, that the IN
tention OF the committee was to clearl
define the rights Of District Convention,
when so desired, and for the purpose {
securing the utmost fairness in the G,
preston of public sentiment. The Dil
trict Convention system met with mos
favor with the committee, which also sa'

POINT PLEASANT, w. VA, March 20
wired you few days ago in regard to
the ruction between the Western Union
Telegraph Company, the Keystone Bridge
Company and Judge jackson, in reference
to stretching the wire of the first named
company over the railroad bridge at this
place. Bench warrants were issuedat Park
ersburg by Judge Jackson for the arrestof
Andy Baird and his men for resisting the
authority of the United States Court, and
placed in the hands of Marshal Atkinson,
who, together with five of his deputies,
arrived here at four O'Clock next morning
and made the arrest, finding them all in
bed at their respective boarding houses.
TWAS stated to Baird by the Marshal that
Judge Jackson had modified his former
order authorizing the Telegraph Com
pany to stretch the wires ON the piers,
and not on the superstructure as hereto
fore, and that they wanted the consent OF
the Keystone Company to get on
the bridge to do the work. Baird, in
behalf of the company, refused to con-
sent, so the Marshal took possession of
the bridge, and the linemen proceeded to
work, and in short time were arrested
upon a warrant sworn out before Justice
Franklin for performing work other than
that of necessity on the Sabbath. They
were taken before the Justice, who, after
hearing the evidence, recognized them to
appear at the next term of the Circuit
Court to answer an indictment for vic.
lating the statutes in the sum of 500.
Judge Jackson's arbitrary course is be-
ing severely condemned by the best legal
talent in this section of the State. Baird
has since sworn out warrants for the ar
rest of the Western Union men for tres.

How's This, Tecumseh ?

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 25.-Now
that there is occasional talk of General
Tecumseh Sherman as Republican
Presidential candidate, the following Cos
sip will be of interest,":
A general officer, not stationed in
W ashington, read to another gentle
man letter he had received from Cen
eral Sherman, in which the latter spoke
coldly of the Republican party, saying
he had no love for it, and giving his
reasons. The General is one who has
always had Sherman's confidence. After
reading the letter, he said: "You know
it has been asserted that Cen
eral Sherman would not accept
a nomination for the Presidency.
Undoubtedly he would refuse to be the
| Republican candidate, but he would not
decline the nomination if offered him by
| the Democrats.
Outside the immediate encourage of
the late General of the army it has always
| been supposed that while keeping out Of
| politics his sympathes were with the
Republicans. This impression doubtless
arose from the fact that he was Grants
intimate, the brother of Senator Sherman
and the companion of General Van Vliet,
whose radicalism is undoubted. Coming,
as it does, from general officer, whose
name, if it could be used, would carry
much weight, the assertion that General
Sherman would accept the Democratic
nomination is curious, if not significant

tit to limit the time of notice for such
conventions, in order that snap judgment
on the part of particular cliques might be
avoided, and also to specify the dates for
the election of delegates to not more
than sixty nor less than thirty
days previous to the date OF
the National Convention. To my
mind it was clearly the intention OF the
committee to give to District Conven-
tions the same right regarding dates
as was given to State Conventions,
thereby treating both State and district
conventions alike l am in favor OF
district representation, and have so eX-
pressed myself, both personally and by
letter, to many inquirers within the
past two months, as also have
with regard to sending an instructed
delegation to Chicago" The Senator
said he felt that he had done his duty
to the press, and wanted to give formal
notice that from now until the date OF
the National Convention he will con-
slider his obligations as fully met, and
is out of the interviewing business.

A. Farmers Railroad Views.

Mr.. EDITOR: see that We have
chance of petitioning for an additional
subscription for the completion of the
Savannah Valley Railroad, and I think
we, as the owners of real estate, should
not lose any time in the work, for if
there is anything that Anderson is need
ing more than anything else, it must b.
this railroad. Now, brother farmers, l
know that there are some of you opposed
to building this road by taxation, and I
am opposed to building railroads by ta1-
aeion, but l think this road is an excep-
ton. In the first place, We have paid
nearly three.fourths Of our tax, and
should not now lose the road rather than
pay the other fourth. None of US deny
that it will naturally reduce freights,
make better market, and greatly en-
hance the value of our property. But
this is not half. We have lived long
enough to know that one improvement
naturally calls for another, and when we
et.this road ne will be almost sure to
build a factory, which would be one Of
the greatest benefits to Anderson and the
surrounding country that could occur.
If we hesitate and lose time, there will
be other railroads built near US, and then
if we do build our road it will not do
near so much good for us as it will do
now. We claim our County to be one Of
the leading Counties of the State, but if
we let such opportunities as this pass we
will not be considered so long. I think
it is our duty to the rising generation
and to our country to improve it, and not
lag behind other communities. 1t is not
the man that looks behind that succeeds,
but it is the man that looks forward.
The South has been looked down upon
since the war as being very stupid, but I
think we have not had justice, for we
have done remarkably we'll, considering
the disasters of the war. We claim to
be a growing country, and I think we
have just fairly started. The South is
almost sure to be the leading portion of
the Union in few years. 1t is talked of
far and near, and this has brought the
amount of capital that has been invested
in. South Carolina in the last few years
in factories, &c.
This is our time to advance the iuter-
| ests of Anderson County, and unless we
make use of it we will lose by our neg
lect. I do hope that every owner of
real estate will look carefully into this
matter and study it thoroughly. The
building of this railroad will give US a
better market for our timber, our pro.
duce-auch as corn, fodder, beef, butter,
&c.-and we can ship our cotton and
buy our goods aud fertilizers cheaper,
which will enable us to save more money
out of our crops than we can do now.
1t will pay US we'll to build the Savannah
Valley Railroad.

est impression, not even Craze the skin.
But hold bit of lint cotton close to it
and it Immediately seizes the lint and
holds on to it until, by its automatic
action, the revolution is reversed, when
it drops the cotton off the other way.
The power of the machine to discrimi-
nate between ripe and unripe bolls is
thus clearly demonstrated. 1t isa grand
triumph of "mind over matter" The
"Cotton Harvester" will enable the plan
ter to pick every fibre Of cotton he raises
at a triAing expense. Mr.. Mason tells
mo it will gather 280 pounds in an hour.
This would be $500 pounds in ten hours
equal to the labor of from fourteen to
tnenty.eight cotton pickers at so cents 10
IS cents per day! Or equal to an expsn-
diture of $14 for 1850 pounds at 50
cents per hundred pounds, the usual
price in this county.
What it will save in the Southwest
where the planter pays one dollar
and twenty-five cents per hundred
to the cotton pickers, can not be estima-
ted. For not only is cotton picking e1-
pensiye in that part Of tho South, but a
sufficient number of picken cannot be
had for love or money, and large por.
tion of the crop is left to perish in the
field.
Mr.. Mason tells me he has an order
from Col. Richardson, the largest cotton
planter in the world, for several Of the
"Harvesters." He Mason is improving
and simplifying the machine every day.
The whole thing only weighs about 300
pounds, and will be still lighter before
he perfects it.
I do not believe the colored labor will
be at all injured by the "Cotton Harves.
ter" and will give my reasons for so say
ing another time.-Sumtcr Letter to The
augusta Chronicle.

the near future the great staple of Flori-
da. have asked the people here if they
did not think that after awhile oranges
would be SO cheap as not to pay for their
raising and shipping? They say not,
and argue in this way that it is only a
comparatively small part of Florida that
will produce oranges-perhaps not more
than one.third; that great deal of the
State, like West Florida and much of
Middle Florida, is not at all adapted to
their growth, and therefore cannot be
cultivated there successfully; that much
of the State is fat, much of it covered
with swamps, and much of it has "hard
pan" through which the roots cannot
penetrate, and the tree in this kind of
soil takes what is called the "die bnck"
and will notsuccsed at all. Then, again,
they say that Florida at present pro-
duces only City millions of oranges an.
nually, while six hundred mi lions are
imported into the United States from
Southern Europe and the islands of the
sea. And if people in Europe can find
it profitable to send their fruit three and
four thousand miles to market, the peo-
pie of Florida can certainly find it prof.

plausible arguments for the orange.

At present this pear is more valuable

Unnecessarily Exercised.

It seems to us that the ANDERSON In.
TELLIGENCER is too much exercised be-
cause some of the brethren of the press
have felt inclined to say unkind things Of
Mr.. Murray's action as Legislator.
Men who succeed in life, or rise above
the common level, seldom escape calum.
ny, and We see no reason why Mr.. Muir
ray should expect to be an exception to
the general rule. Mr.. Murray b as always
had opinions and has not been slow to
express them, and he has not hesitated to
act in accord with his convictions. This
course has given prete1t to his enemies,
and has furnished cause for those who
may be jealous to assail him, and to
charge bad motives in his conduct in
reference to the Railroad Commission
Law.
Mr.. Murray being conscious Of the
rectitude of his own acts needs no de-
fence, and be should merely treat his
assailaDh with silence. We presume
that those who assail Mr.. Murray would
not have the effrontery to claim to be
better or more honest than be is. Even
il they did make such claim, we arc Of
opinion that they would find il, exceed
ingly difficult to get an intelligent public
to agree with them in that opinion.
Dir. Murray's acts as Legislator are
matters proper to be criticised, but we
fail to see any necessity or justice in AZ.
sailing his character. But as Mr.. Muir
ray has Jared no worse than others who
have been needlessly assailed we do not
think he need care much for what is now
being said about him.
We have often regretted that the press
of South Carolina could not be a unit in
joining controversies or criticisms with.
out assailing character, or charging bad
motives to those who disagree with them.
We are sorry that any member of tho
South Carolina press should depend
largely upon personalities and misrep-
resentation Of any adverssry's position.
Mr.. Murray is at least as good as those
who assail him, and we trust that he may
henceforth treat With silence such as make
charges, instead Of just criticisms.-Ab-
beuilc Press and Banner.

factory in its operation. Now, Mr.. Edi.
tor, I wish to offer three or four sugges.
tions which, if they could in any way bs
embraced in the form of amendments to
the School Law, would, in my opinion
render it much more effective: l. That
the Free School Trustees of no School
District should be allowed.to locate any
Free Common School for a shorter term
than eight scholastic months, nor with =
less number than twenty-five subscribed
scholars. Of course, it is not expected
thai the free school fund would be
sufficient to pay the full salary of a
teacher for the term Of eight months !;
but this fund could be supplemented by
tuition fees from the employers.
2. That each School District bc
allowed the 0eneht OF It's own taxes palu
for school purposes, to the exclusion OF
all others.
3. That individual subscribers to the
Free Schools be credited with the money
received from the Free School Fund in
proportion to their subscription-e. g., if
A subscribe two scholars, while B SUBJ
scribes one, then let A be credited with
twice the amount of Free School money
on his account that B is.
4. In order that teachers may bo
enabled to collect their tuition fees un.
obstructed by homestead exemptions, let
their accounts come under the head Of
personal labor.
