AFTER VANCE'S SCALP.
The North Carolina Senator Warned by
Farmers of His State.


Farmers of His State.
Raleigh IN. c. dispatch: A few days
ago. in an open letter to Elias Carr
president of the North Carolina Farm
ers' alliance, Senator Vance said he
should not support the snb-treasury bill.
The official organ of the alliance to-day
in a leading editorial attacks Vance, 1t
says:
Senator Vance may have underesti-
mated the strength of the alliance.
Men living right here in the State have
done this. He may think he may ig-
more it's demands, but he will find it
contains more than one-third of the
backbone of the State. Senator Vance
is brainy man, but we contend that the
thousands of alliance men in North
Carolina know n thing or two He
would have us believe that he knows
more than the hundred of intelligent
farmers from twenty-three States who
met in ST. Louis last December.
The farmers of North Carolina
pay Senator Vance. 1t is his business
to work for them. Whether the meas
ures are constitutional or not. he should
do it, and if the bill is not in proper
shape he should have gone to work and
put it in shape. If he is not willing to
serve the people we want to know it.
We can not afford to pay men and then
allow them to put up their brains
against the entire State The moral of
it all is tn S: We must go back to the
old way of electing farmers to Congress
and the United States Senate. 1t be-
comes more and more apparent that
those we call our friends are our enc
mics. Begin this year. Delays are
dangerous"

BLAINE CRlTICIsES REED.
The Secretary of State on the Quorum
Question.

The Secretary of State the Quorum
Question.
Washington dispatch: The criticism
of Speaker Reed by "a leading Repub-
lican" in the current number of the
North American Review is by common
consent credited to Secretary Blaine.
When the announcement was made that
such an article was to appear it was
thought that either Senator Edmunds or
Senator ingalls, might be the anthor, as
both have shaken their heads doubt
ingly over some of Mr.. Reeds posi-
tiOnS. But the internal evidence
is all against either Of them, and
the gossip among Senators is that
''the eX-M. Co. to whom the article is
attributed, cannot be one of their num-
Der because they are not "EXes." Be-
sides some of them think that the senti-
m ents in the article are similar to the
views Mr.. Blaine has uttered in private
talk. It is pointed out that only an eX-
Speaker could show the familiarity
with the House procedure that is shown
by the writer. Mr.. Blaine when Speaker
held that quorum could not be
counted. His favorite expression was:
lyon may lead horse to water, but
you can't make him drink" Mr.. Reed
at one period of his parliamentary
career took the same ground and op-
posed an amendment to the rules pro-
posed by Randolph Tucker to enable
the Speaker to declare q quorum, but
he afterwards changed his views.

I. South Carolinians are tired of the in-
reference of Northern meddlers in, their
politics. We notice from Washington
dispatch that one Edwin Dudley of Bos.
ton, Massachusetts, has been in Wash.
.ington trying to harmonic the regular
Republicans in favor of Russell. We
are glad to notice his failure. The
blonde bearded aspirant for post-ofice
honors, or any other honors, is seeking
help wisely from a distance. In his
case distance lends enchantment." We
presume that Dudley is without job,
and was spelling for something to do.
Az We understand it, the regular Repub.
licans do not propose to have Russell
forced on them. They are by him in the
Republican party like We are in reference
to the post ofice-we don't want him,
and are not going to have him if ne can
help ourselves. Dudley says he has
means to conduct Russell's campaign
without the aid of the regulars. This
he may have, but he wants votes, and he
can't get them if the regulars stand their
ground. Possibly Russell and the North.
ern Republicans think they see split in
the Democratic ranks brewing, but in
this they will be disappointed. Our
people are not fools enough to surrender
what they worked so hard for in 1876.
They remember too well the trouble they
had with such meddlers as Ed. Dudley.

Lawyers rs Legislators.

Mr.. EDITOR: On Saleday some good
and well-meaning citizens expressed
themselves in strong language against
voting for any lawyer as a Representa-
tive in he next Legislature.
It is hoped that cur people will con-
slider this matter we'll before acting.
Our voters should bear in mind that
Charleston, Richland and other Counties
will send lawyers to the Senate and
House to shape legislation affecting their
various interests. Anderson has done 80
heretofore, aud it tmight put our County
to disadvantage to be without such rep.
resentation. It might be better to send
at least one lawyer to discuss legal and
Constitutional questions when they arise.
It might be we'll for our delegation to
have q lawyer to constantly confer with
on the legal aspect Of such matters as
daily come before them. Sometimes
legal questions spring up in moment
and need immediate legal opinions SO as
to act understandingly on them.
It is generally conceded that lawyers
are necessity in the law making power,
and if this be true, let Z. have a lawyer
to aid in making our laws, and be on an
equal footing with Others.

A Sensational Suggestion.

"Watch Dan Chamberlain" That was
the remark addressed to reporter for the
Greenville Ne,us by gentleman who had
lust returned from Charleston, promi.
nent Greenville man, too, and close oh.
server. Continued the speaker: "The
people of Charleston are puzzled 10 know
what Chamberlain is doiug in South Car
olina. Presumably, of course, be is here
as the Receiver Of The South Carolina
Railway and for no other purpose. But
many people in Charleston are inclined to
wonder why the Ex-Governor should have
given up profitable and growing law
practice in New York city and the high
position he had won there to come back
to South Carolina to wind up the affairs of
a railroad company. Granted that the
receivership will pay him better for the
time being, they urge that the profit could
hardly compensate for the loss of bis
practice by his absence from New York.
These doubters profess to find political
purpose In the ex Governors return to
the Seate from which he was dismissed
rather unceremoniously by the revolution
of 1876. They call attention to the fact
that MIR. Chamberlain is no longer a Re-
publican. He was Cleveland mug
wump. On his return to Charleston,
where he was once hated as the leader of
the reconstructionist rascals, he is vel
coined with open arms, wiued and dined,
and made much of. In his position as
receiver he has much power which may
help to make him very solid in certain
portions of the State. In other words"
the gentleman concluded, "it is not one
of the impossibilities that Daniel H.
Chamberlain may once again figure in the
politics of South Carolina.-Gr GreenviNe

According to the census of 1880, there
were twenty cities in the United States
with 8. population of more than 100, 900.
It is thought that at this time there are
thirty or thirty. FIVE. New York will con
tinue 10 lead in population when the next
census is completed, and Philadelphia will
retain the second place, but the third
will pass from Brooklyn to Chicago,
which has recently taken in good many
suburban villages. In 1880 Boston was
fifth, but it is thought that both St. Louis
and Baltimore are now ahead of her.
The next four cities, Cincinnati, San
Francisco, New Orleans and Cleveland,
will hold the same places they held in
1880, and Pittsburg will go down three
points, its former place as twelfth city
being taken by Minneapolis, which in
1880 was away down to number thirty.
eight. Louisville will probably fall two
points.

A Massachusetts Meddler.

WAsHINGToN, March Edwin Dud,
ley, Who has been here for several days
trying to patch up compromise between
the independents and the regular Repub.
licaps of South Carolina. has returned to
Boston in disgust.
It was Dudley who plpp osed that e.
Nj. Brayton should retire either from the
Craftsmanship of the State committee or
membership on the national commit Q in
favor of an Independent. Brayton refus.
ed to act upon Dudley's suggestion and
also declined to entertain any proposition
looking to compromise between the In
dependents and the regulars.
Dudley, it appears, represents certain
element in the State of Massachusetts
that aspires to get control of the district
now represented in Congress By Judge
Cothran. The object of the attempted
compromise was to unite the Republican
forces in that district in behalf Of w. w.
Russell.
Dudley declared before leaving for Bos.
ton that he would have ample means 10
conduct campaign for Russell without
any assistance from the regulars. .-Ne'gs

C0lored Servants Wanted.

BOSTON, MASS, March Tit is stated
to day by thoroughly responsible persons
who are interested in huma nitRrian
enterprises that an organized effort is
making to induce an exodus of Southern
colored people to New England. The
scheme finds its motives in the lack Of
suitable domestic servants in New Eng.
land and in the desire of certain original
abolitionists to place the freedmen in q
condition of civil liberty. Mr. Stillman
B. Pratt, who is one Of those interested
in the movement, says that the intention
is to induce as many colored men and
women to come to New England as can
be supplied with work.
The people of this section, Mr.. Pratt
says, have within few years found out
that the women of the negro race make
the best servants that can be had, and
there is constantly increasing demand
for them from all parts of the New Eng
land States. The intention of the pro-
moters of the immigration movement,
who are said to be we'll known business
men, is to have whole families come on
the women for domestic and the men
for laborers--and be says that the pur.
pose is to colonize them throughout New
England in the same way rs Vermont is
encouraging the imm: grafton Of Swedish
families.
Mr.. Pratt says that the local authorities
in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont,
as we'll as in Massachusetts,, have
promised to deal literally with them,
and that as soon as the proper time shall
have arrived the word will be spoken
which will start considerable exodus
from the cotton States.

Doyou ask what will educate your son.
Your example will educate him; your
conversation with your friends; the busi.
ness he sees you transact; the liking and
disliking he sees you express-these will
educate him. The society you live in
will educate him; above all, your rank,
your situation in life, your home, your
table, will educate him. 1t is not in
your power to withdraw from him the

you were to withdraw yourself from them
also. Education goes on at every instant

What Does 1t Means

Mr.. EDITOR AS this is election year,
and every movement and indication are
watched with the deepest interest by all
who ara interested in the success and
prosperity Of South Carolina, you will,
therefore, excuse an inquiry with sim
pie opinion Of an humble farmer.
Why was it that 80 few took any part
or interest in the election of delegates to
the Conventio soon to meetin Columbia?
While many Of those who took part in
the meeting were representative farmers,
and voice the sentiment of certain com.
.munities, yet there can be no question but
that the ten delegates elected at Ander.
son on salesday in March are practically
representatives without constituency.
Representing only sixty.tive votes, las the
record Of the meeting shows the dele.
gates, whether instructed or not, are not
prepared to represent either the Farmers
OF the Democracy of the County, but only
the element of the farmers Movement
that they in reality represent.

it, not being in any sense political or.
ganization. It's complaints and grievan.

not men, is the watchword of the Alli-
ance, and holding, as the Alliance does,
by virtue of its members, and the charac.

power, it will see that good and wholesome
laws are enacted. Instead of riding into

will, beyond doubt, be more difficult than
heretofore to ride into Office on dead is.
sues. What ne need are living issues,
and nothing else will satisfy the farmers,
and they are not going off on side issuss,
or seek to elect every officer, from the

As citizens of q common country,

and seeking to make our surroundings
the most favorable for all, the farmers
