One Of the Best.

COLUMBIA, S. O., Nov. 2s-1he
monthly reports Of the South Carolina
department of agriculture are in great
demand. Within the past few days
applications for them have been received
from several Western States. The last
number issued, October, contained 45
pages of interesting matter, among other
things a number Of essays on scientific
and practical subjects read at county
farmers institutes by gentlemen engaged
. By the board of agriculture for that pur.
pose. 1t is probably not too much to say
that the South Carolina department of
agriculture is enc of the best equipped
departments in the country. Its publ.
cations are always full of interest to
farmers. County farmers institutes were
held at various places under its manage
ment the present year, and many others
will be held the coming year.
The WORK in its laboratory is increasing
so rapidly that the board of agriculture
has found it necessary to employ two
assistants 10 the regular chemist, who will
do the work after December lat. The
two agricultural experiment stations un-
der the control of the department are
managed by a director and two superin.
tendents, who are practical farmers. A
full report of the experiments made du.
ring 1883 will be published by the board
in January. The veterinary surgeon OF
the department will visit any. section OF
the State where contagious diseases
among live stock is suspected. The
departments fine exhibit at Augusta has
been frequently mentioned in these
columns. In every branch of its work
the department is doing god for Il Q
State generally, and especially for the
farmers.

The Octopus.

Mr.. EDITOR: An impression prevails
that if the Richmond and West Point
Terminal could :be defeated in the lease
of.:the Georgia Central it would leave
Anderson, Greenville. and other places,
as competing points between the two
lines as heretofore. This is certainly q
.mtstake.
The Richmond and West Point own q
controlling Interest in the Georgia Cen.
ira, the Georgia Central owns q con.
trolling interest in the Port Royal and
Western Carolina, which gives the West
Point absolute control Of all the lines
without any lease.
In January the Georgia Central elects
officers or rather the Richmond and
West Point elects them-which in turn
|selects the officers of the Port Royal and
Western, and it is plain that no conflict
of interest could arise between them as
to rates between supposed competing
points

control of our railroad to the Georgia

rangement. It was either this or lose

sets forth, among other things, the will
of Mrs. John G. Calhoun, who devised
her estate to her children and her chill.
dren's children in lineal descent. The
plaintiffs claim that Mrs. Clemson did
not execute the power of this will IN

tthatit should, instead, have gone to her
zlineal descendants, of whom Miss Lee
is now the only one surviving.
The case will be tried before Chief
Justice Fuller of the United States Su-
preme Court, Judge Bond of the United
States Circuit Court and Judge Simonton

No Negro Problem.

'The white people of the South" Mr..
Douglass said, answering question, "will
rule the South. Intelligence will win.
sItis ridiculous to pretend that the people
who have the wealth, the people who
have the railways, the people who have
thesteam locomotive, the people who have
the steam navigation, the people whe
have the commerce of the nation are
going to be dominated by the poor and
the despised and the illiterate negro.
There is not the least danger of anything
of the kind, and I sometimes think that
our Southern white people know that
there exists no such danger. Allthat the
whites of the South have to do is to treat
the negro justly, and he will listen to
them before he will listen to any other
people, from the North or elsewhere. It
isjmpossible for the negro to rule it is

-.Iohn G. New of Indianapolis, wh

John G. New, of Indianapolis, who
is regarded in some quarters as the mouth
piece of Mr.. Harrison, thinks that under
the new President the civil service law
will be satisfactorily enforced. Mr.. New
says: ~ do not believe that there will
be any haste in turning out Democrats.
There will be no clean sweep. Gen.
Harrison is believer in the civil service
idea, and he will, I think, enforce the
spirit, if not the letter, ofthe law. Many
changes will be made, but not without
cause. apprehend, however, that there
will be cause enough for a great many
changes. The postal service Of the coun.
try is outrageously bad. Every one
knows it. Here in Indiana il is as bad as
incompetent men can make it. Gen.
Harrison, I think, fully appreciates tbe.
importance of improving the service, and
il is evident that it can only be done BY
putting. the work into the bands OF more
:comretent men,

LEGISLATION TOUCHING THE SOUTH.

LEGISLATION TOUCHING THE SOUTH.
There is less defniteness in the local
forecast of Gen. Harrison's policy in rela.
tion to Republican legislation affecting
the South, but it is not believed thatit
will be violent or aggressive. His
speeches upon this subject have been
carefully scanned without finding in their
iudicious generalizations any warrant for
the expectations that he will favor or
urge upon Congress what is called a Wig.
orous Southern policy. He is known to
feel strongly upon the inequality Of aetu
al representation in the Electoral College
and House of Representatives growing
out of the suppression of suffrage in the
South, and upon the practical notification
of the Federal laws for the collection Of
revenue in many Southern communities /;
but he is understood to believe that the
permanent and effective remedy for those
evils lies in the gradual growth of q more
wholesome popular sentiment, inspiring
q greater respect for public law and
private rights, rather than in the attempt
to enforce distasteful Federal laws in the
face of hostile Courts, juries and public
opinion. 1t is known that Gen. Harri.
son will rely very hopefully upon the
development of the industrial spirit in
the South to foster and diffuse this more
wholesome public sentiment; that he has
faith in the power of the increased men.
tai energy and greater personal indepen'
dence that characterize industrial society
to put an end to the evils growing out of
the subjec,ion of an ignorant majority to
the arrogant minority in primitively
organized agricultural community. Ac-
cordingly, it is believed that the indus.
trial development of the South will
receive all possible encouragement and
aid from his Administration, both Ia
executive acts and through his influence
upon legislation.

Polite attention to all.
MIR. Blaine and the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-A letter has
been received here from an intimate
friend of James G. Blaine, in which the
writer speaks by authority of the plans
and Intentions Of the Maine statesman.
He SAYS that at no time has Mr. Blaine
ever entertained the idea of going into
Mr.. Harrison's Cabinet that no word on
the subject of the personnel OF the new
Presidents official family has ever passed
between the two men and that Mr..
Blaine has no idea of intimating, either
directly or Indirectly, that he desires q
place Ia the Cabinet. On the contrary,
Mr.. Blaine hes no desire whatever OF
accepting any place in the. gift of the
President.
