This meeting in Columbia cost the
farmers thirty.two hundred dollars outlay
in actual cash. The meeting took place
just at planting time, when every man
who had a farm ought to have been at
home at work so we add to the above
200 delegates lost from their farms
three days each, allowing their
time to be worth $500 per day...Sl 200 90
So we have S4,40O. So much for the
meeting in Columbia.
Now, we have, say, thirty-three Coun-
ties, and suppose each one elected their
delegates by mass meeting like Ander-
son County did. Suppose there was
present at each of these mass meetings
250 farmers, (wno ought to have been at
home at work, and 1 guess that is a low
estimate, and suppose that each farmers
time was worth s100 per day to him at
home, then it follows: $50 farmers in 93
Counties lose one day each, making a
total of days lost $3.50.
$3.50 days, $l.O0 EACH. ........ .......$ $3.50 90
Add to this cost Columbia meeting. 4,4G0 90
Making grand total ..........$l2,65O 90
it cost 10 gel to hear Mr.. Tillman speak
and to pass a few resolutions. Truly
this is step toward economy.

- Ihe domestic portion or the Whlte
House is undergoing a thorough over
hauling. A procession of painters, dec
orators and upholsters has been moving
through the upper part of the structure
for several days. Every indication
points to q social crisis of some kind.
The large corner bedroom has been com.
pletely repainted and cleansed, after
which new and tasteful draperies and
furniture will take the place of the old.
While these repairs are being made the
President is sleeping on cot in the
small hall room at the head of the stairs.
He assured two of his Senatorial visitors
on Wednesday that he enjoyed the JEFF.
fersonian simplicity of his temporary
quarters. The cot recalled his bunk in
the Adirondacks, perhaps. Others of
the Presidents intimates declare that he
chafes considerably under the vexations
of house cleaning, and foresees already
one of the new burdens of his future
state. He has read somewhere that
house cleaning is the abomination of
married life.

AN ANDERSONIAN IN BOSTON,
A Peep at the Woman suffragists and
Fred Douglass.
BosroN. MASS. NAV 26.

BOSTON, MASS, May 26, 1856.
Mr.. EDITOR: The eighteenth annual
meeting of the Woman Suffrage Associa
ton took place in fremont Temple Tues.
day, May 25th. Mrs. Lucy Stone, (her
husbands name is Blackwell,) President
of the Association, occupied the Chair.
She delivered the Introductory remarks
in aohich she set forth the terrific wrongs
of women-their inability to obtain re-
cognition in trades or professions. Their
state of woeful suppressions. In fact 30
deeply were our feelings stirred that we
became enthused, and were ready to de.
nounce N. E. masculinety as lregener-
ate tyrants, not only untitled to govern,
but even to carry on the more insigni6-
cant of trades. She then introduced the
orator of the colored race, Fred Douglass,
a portly, comfortable looking darkey who
looks as if he bad fallen among pleasant
places. He has all the pomposity of the
campmeeting exhortor and the eloquence
also. We went prepared to cavil, but
honestly Fred did we'll. He warmed up
on his subject. Evidently the ladies are
his weak or strong point. There was
nothing absolutely new or original in
his remarks. He introduced the ever
palatable "bits" incident to defunct slave
days, and made several good points,
drifting occasionally into "hisself'' and
"yes he do" intentionally of course, as
he bears the reputation of being an edu.
Gated man, and am told moves in the
very best society of this cultured and
musical center; for it is cultured and
musical up to the very larynx.
The women are daft on the poll ques-
ton. They are bound for that indepen-
dent vote. Now, we never dream of
such thing our way-do we? Of fact,
it would be perfect elephant to most of
US. Nevertheless, we became very much
worked up OF the question of woman's
wrongs. According to Fred, we are per.
feet Jacks.in-a-box, and are not having
bit of nice time, (but we didn't know
it, though.) He touched lightly on the
point of the nations Fighters being also
the nations fighters, adding that war was
the exception, peace the normal condi-
tion of the country, and good number
of years might reasonably elapse before
the fighting came in. Anyway, he con-
tinued, freedom was dear to the fettered
soul. Ifwomen only felt they could vote,
he believed most of them would vote
with their fathers, husbands and brothers.
(Here he took occasion to clank the old
chains again, amid rapturous applause
We sat through the soul narrowing
"John Brown" chorus, sung by the entire
house, and idly noted the fact that in
proportion as the women's faces indicated
strength and will power, those of the
men were noticably weak.

Mr.. EDITOR: Being of a statistical
turn of mind, I have figured up what the
so.calIcd "Tilmau Farmers Movement"
cost the farmers of The State to assemble
in Columbia to give Mr.. Tillman chance
to unload some of the wisdom that has
been troubling him SO much to keep con-
fined in his devoted head. The meeting
in Columbia cusL as follows:
200 delegates for R. R. fare, $5.0O...$l, 900 90

their cherished dead. In this beauti.

stands the Confederate Monument in all
its solemn grandur. In its pathetic and
solemn silence it speaks of the deeds of
the nameless heroes that lie beneath it.
While strolling silently and pensively
with my companion, Judge Lyon, among
the Confederate graves and wondering if
some of our own Carolina's unsung
heroes had not slept there for twenty
years and more, our eyes fell upon q
nicely polished piece of marble with
this inscription: "south Carolina's
dead" Reverently and silently we stood
gazing upon the tomb of those who will
ingly laid their lives upon the altar of
their country, and, in our souls, repeated
that lovely sentiment Of the poet,
"Cold in the dust the perished hearts may

never die"

that no poor man who depends on his toll can
afford TO take an Office. Let US go back to the
old Jeffersonian simplicity. If we wish to
nominate man for office, let US look well to
his qualifications. For instance, here is Judge

Blue Earth Politics.

Special to the Globe.
MANKATo, Aug. 25.-There is great
confusion in the political field in Blue
Earth county. There are four parties in
the field. The farmers and laboring men
will meet in mass conclave at Good Thun-
der Sept. 1, the Prohibitionists Sept. 4.
the Democrats the 10th and the Republicans
the 14th the last three at Mankato. The
Republican candidates for senator are J. T.
Williams, S. q. NJ. Fletcher, G. &. Spauld-
ing and S. W. Burgess. E. T. Champlaln
is being groomed by the Democrats. The
farmers and laboring men cause the con-
fusion, as it is probable they will nominate
candidates for some of the offices and ex-
pect the old parties to indorse them. The
legislative delegation will have to take
stand on the senatorial question and on the
Mankato normal school appropriation. The
only excitement over county offices will be
over register of deeds and sheriff The
Republicans here are largely in favor of
Davis for senator
