ANOTHER NUT FOR THE CHARLES
TON EXCHANGE TO CRACK.

| To the Editor Of the -No,2eing Tinnes:-I was
much pleased to see someone writing under
the name of Farmer" in your interesting
columns, calling the attention ofthe public
to the loss in weights Of cotton shipped TO
Charleston. In justice to Your correspon-
dent, we all who ship cotton to Charleston
must say that the loss in weight, when ac-
count sales are rendered, is nost surprising
There is something very wrong somewhere,
and am at q loss to know what to attribute
the cause to. have the highest confidence
in my factors, believe them to be as high
| toned gentlemen as are to be found any,
where, and can't but think they are entirely
ignorant of what occasions this very serious
| loss in weight.
really do not think that ten pounds per
bale would be an over estimate Of the loss,
and a most wonderful fact is. if two bales of
the very same cotton, packed at the very
same time, one of which is shipped to
Charleston, and the other kept here in the
country, in a perfectly dry place; the
Charleston bale, although exposed to a more
damp atmosphere, viii lose, if sold within
months time, More than the bale kept in
the country. Now, Mr. Editor, i YOU or
any one else could explain this would be
It4le'eN- lave ue;IIu o1u Iarnefs say re-
peatedly, that before the war, cotton ship
ped by boat to Charleston usually gained
enough to almost pay freight. Why now Is
it 50 much to the contrary? The loss Of
weight on shipment to Charleston is spoken
OF over the whole county and farmers who
are not under obligation in Charleston, gen.
orally prefer to haul their cotton to Sumter,
a distance OF more than twenty mics, on ac-
count Of loss il weight and charges in the
City BY the Sea, Of :.rayage, weighing Ia
Dor and storage, fire insurance, commit
sions, and on boat freight and marine insu:-
&nce. \ most reliable gentleman told NE q
short time ago that &c los. OF one shipment
an average of seventeen porads per bale.

WAITING FOR THE EVIDENCE?

At meeting of the Charleston
Cotton Exchange held on the 9th
inst, farmers" letters published in
the Netcs and Courier and the NAMING
TINES We're again the subject OF dis
cussion. Quite lengthy preamble
or complaint setting forth the tenor
of farmers" letters and the action OF
the directors of the Cotton Exchange
was adopted with the following judi
cial declaration, embodied il the form
OF resolutions:
Resolred That this Exchange endorses the
action of the board Of directors in reference
to this matter, taken on November 9th and
November 22nd.
Resolred, That this Exchange does not be-
lieve the charge that there is Justification Of
weights Of cotton by any cotton factor, and
stands ready to investigate thoroughly any
such charges against any member Of this
Exchange, as soon as the evidence upon
which such charges is founded is furnished
them.
Resolved. That while this Exchange cen
take no further note Of any such general as
sertlonS as are being made by ). Warren
Nelson, they renew the demand made on
him on November 9th, 1856, for the specif-
cations in full of the charges made against
any member Of this Exchange, that the mat
ter may receive thorough investigation.
Unless so furnished at once, his statements
will be considered without foundation in
fact.
Resolred, That it is the opinion of this
Exchange that where any farmer considers
himself defrauded in the matter of weights
of cotton or otherwise by any cotton mer-
chant, the manly remedy would be to recov-
er his loss and punish the offender in the
Courts Of the State, and not in a cowardly
and anonymous newspaper communication
to make wholesale and unproven charges
against the honesty and good name Of our
entire community.

IOsa, TO,ooo
The Commissioners further estimate
that to raise this sum a tax levy Of
S 1-2 mills is required. It Will be
seen BY a recurrence to the last three
fiscal years that the estimate is not
extraVagant, but based upon the ac-
tnal experience of the Board and their
predecessors. And it is clearl y ap-
parent that as the county government
is now conducted, that with the most
rigid economy at least $4,000 is nee
essary to iquidate the current expens-
es That the tax levy asked for is
high, is very true, but then it must
be allowed by the Legislature, or the
fall Of 81 viii find the county again
plunged in debt.
The duty of our Legislators in this
matter is manifestedly plain. They
must either grant the levy asked for,
-or then they must legislate to curtail
the expenses. The only direct legisla-
ton to this end is a bill requiring the
State to pay for the transportation of
criminals to the penitentiary. This
is a very wise and just bill and will
benefit Clarendon County in reducing
the expenses in the neighborhood Of
ii$75 or $100 annually. It is too small
o reduction however, from the $500
10 be appreciated in considering the
levy asked for.
IF no plan is devised to materially
diminish the present expenses Of the
county, it seems to US that with the
Light before them, our delegation at
Columbia cannot fail to see the wis
dom of allowing the 5 1-2 mill levy
asked for by the County Commission

LAST NIGHTS MEETING.
DIR. Leonard's Defense of the Third Party
Movement in Temperance Work.

DIR. Leonard's Defense of the Third Party
Movement in Temperance Work.
Rev. DR.. A. B. Leonard, of Springfield, O.,
the Prohibition candidate for Governor in that
State, addressed last night, at Pfaffiin's Hail. a
large audience on the prohibition movement.
He spoke for two hours, the first part of his
speech being devoted to answering the argument
of Bishop Merrill against a third party move
ment in temperance work. DR.. Lecnard said he
was glad the Bishop had made the argument
against the Prohibition party, because it gave
him 1.-THE speaker) an excuse for being in it.
For if it gives the Bishop the privilegeof enter
ing the field to destroy the party, it gives Mr.
Leonard the privilege to defend it.
Dr. Leonard said that moral ballooning was
They sung songs, made prayers and preached,
and then came down on election day and voted
the whisky ticket This elevated sort of morals
is very satisfactory to the whisky dealers.
Bishop Merrill said the speaker. ''says of
the third party that it will divide friends, conso
idate enemies, intensity opposition, in
vite defeat and promote contempt" Upon
this DR.. Leonard rung the changes
showing that all great reforms and reformers had
met just that sort of thing and but for the agi-
tation which began with William Lloyd Garri-
son, Abraham Lincoln would not have issued his
immortal proclamation of freedom. The fact
that prohibition is exciting all these antagonisms
was TO the speaker proof that it was in the reg
ular line of succession of all the great reforms,
and fit were not doing this he would greatly

The Tile Works Strike.

The local executive board of the Knights OF
Labor and Mr. John j. Cooper, one of the pro-
prietors of the tile works. held long confer
ence yesterday afternoon for the purpose of
coming to some agreement and end the strike
of the tile works employees. The board pro
posed a nine-hour day, without increase of
wages but MIR. Cooper declined this He finally
offered to advance the wages OF all en-
ployes 10 per cent, they to work ten
hours per day. Some of the members of the ex-
ecutive board favored the acceptance of this
but others objected. A meeting of the employees
was held last night, and the proposition submit
ted to them. They also rejected it. They main
tain that the question is not one of wages; that
they must have shorter hours, while the firm are
equally pronounced in their decision that there
must be ten hours work. Probably another con-
ference will be held to-day. The Knights of La
bor will contribute to the support of the strikers
when they get in need of support
