ASSISTANT DiCrAToR IRBY.-When Sena-
tor Hampton, during his holiday time, came
to his State To take part in the State cam
p, ign by making a spesc ca in which he took
no sides and which he concluded with "God
save the old Sia'e there was great out
cry. That was an awful assault against the
Liberties Of the people, We were told. Now
when Senator lrby-sssjstant dictator de-
sorts his seat--in which he has been but six
days Of the sessiou--and comes back to force
joint discussions even il they lead to riots
Il war we suppose that will be declared to
be MI right.
or course Senator Irby's buster amounts
to no hing. lie cannot force anybody to do
anyth ng. IIei not yet the master Of the
free p o.,le Of South Caroline. He cannot
have ns I'll hnuied up and cowhided by
negroes us he is said to have once done with
white man who offended him. Tho con-
serratives viii do exactly as they may think
mt about joint discussions. If they secure
majority of tho members of the Democratic
State Convention Senator Irby will have n
god time ruling them out on account Of
refusal TO obey his orders.
He isa nice kind Of man to be our
United States Senator and chairman of the
State executive committe ee-de, ermined to
force matters in what he supposes 10 be the
Interest Of ono Democratic candidate again st
another, even if it causes riots aui war
He canuot bulIdoze anybody, however.
The Lest thing he can do is to 90 back to
Washington and try TO ehrn part Of his So
700 year sanrv.

Tbs CoTToN REFORM MovEMENT.-Thc
farmers Of South Caroline, as was exhibited
in the reports published yesterday, will
reduce their cotton acreage this year about
one-fourth, aud will mako perhaps, larger
crops of grain than ever before. 1t will
: intarest them and others who are concerned
sre pursuing has been adopfeu 1nrRtr eJhex
States generally.
Bradstreets printed few days ago q long
report which covers the field very closely, its
data having been received from 2,87S CORES.
pondents in S26 counties in ten States
Without going into details, which are very
fully given by States, 1t is enough for the
present purpose 10 note that the investigation
conducted by this high authority shows that
"the falling off in area, TO be planted with
cotton this year, as reported, is from 20 to
20 pet cent" which estimate tallies exactly
with that of The News and Courier for South
Carolina, as stated yesterday.
Thirty per cent Of the correspondents,
scattered from North Carolina to Texas,
report that ''factors, brokers, storekeepers
and others have cut down advances of money
or supplies TO planters from 25 10 45 per
cent" which points conolusively to the
1Eact that the cotton crop Of 1892 will be made
much more cheaply, for reasons beyond the
control ofihe growers, than for many years
past" Wherever fertilizers have been
largely employed heretofore, they will be
used much more spariugly this year.. On
the Atlantic coast twelve correspondents
trary, and in tho Gulf States the proportion
is seven to one. One company selling ferti-
lizers extensively in North Carolinr, South
Carolina. Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi,
reports that its sales have fallen off 80 per
cent. Other dealers aud manufacturers
report in some instances q decrease OF as
much as 35 TO so per csnt-News and Cou-
rier.

No MORE SUNDAY ExcURsIoxs.-Th
railroad commissioners to-day issued the
following circular, which gives their position
and action on the matter:
Columbia, 8. c., May 5, 1892.

had their attention called to excursion trains

This matter has been considered by the

How II THIS ?-The Tillmanites in Rich
land County are no doubt in the minority
Last Friday they held meeting In Colum-
bia to consider The situation. Among other
things the following resolution was adopted ::
"Resolped, That the delegates 90 The Bsxt
ensuing Democratic County Convention, who
favor the present State administration, de-
mand just representation in said convsn-
lion, and If such representation be refused
them, then they shall withdraw and organize
themselves into County Democratic Con-
ven'ion and send delegates to the May State
Convention"
How does this read for men who are talk.
ing so much about boiling and independents?
Suppose the anti-Tillman mon in Newberry,
when they were in the minority, had held a
meeting and made any such resolutions, why
they would havo been characterized as bolt
ers and independents, but in the other
fellow it is right.
Another thing we dent understand is how
under the new constitution, clubs can meet
and elect delegates to the County Conven-
+ 'tiops for May 2, on any other day than April
o. Yet in Spartanburg the Tillmanite
chairman orders clubs that have already
met and elected, to meet again and elect
over. These things are all very queer to us.
II seems that the law is to be strickly en-
forced where it will help the powers that he,
end where such construction will not, then
i, can be enlarged or so construed as to
meet the demands of the case -Ne,rs and
Herad.

tbs Views AND PRINCIPLES OF THs LATE
Gov. J. &. ORR.-Laurens, May Ga gen.
teman who Is q life long democrat but not q
politician has handed me letter from the
late Gov. Jas. L. Orr received noarly twenty
yoars ago which will serve to throw some
light upon The views and principles held by
him a. q time whom many Of the best and
most Intelligent men in South Carolina were
at sea as to what the safest course should be
to rescue tho State government from ignu-
rance and ihievery. Tho publication of the
letter is ot expected to affect the present
polit;c ii situation, but il designed to ihwart
to some extent the ghoulish attacks being
made upon dead msn's good name by per.
sins who fear the political influence of his
500 The latter Is as follows
AspsRsos, Sc, August I'd, 1872.
'.My Dear Sir: Your very kind and
fattering letter of the 18th ult, has been
received
1t has been my misfortune to take differ
ent views of the means of reforming the
State government from that held hy large
minority of the intelligent white race of the
state. may be wrong and yet l am per-
feotly satisfied that whatever reform may be
effected In ourState politics must be by or
through the organization of the organization
OF the republican party. l also am Of the
opinion that it is safer for tho South to
elect President Grant, whose military pres
tige will suppress lawlessness and insure
peace, than The electson Of Grcely, who is
an honest but utterly incapable man, and
who possesses no executive power.
have made war vigorously upon the
plundering ring in Columbia and have
urged the appointment of more hoaest dele
gates to the nominating convention in COL
umbia. What the result may be is doubtful
some Of them will try 10 buy nominations
by the money they have scaudalously plum
dcred from the treasury by over issue of
bonds, unwarranted drafts upon the treas
ury, fraud and peculation.
Moses has issued more than $500, 900 to
employees who are active local politicians
in the respective counties, and they are to
pay him back for his fraudulent raid upon
tho treasury by sending delegates to Column
bia who will vote for him for governor.
With the bribery and fraud which will pre-
vail in the convention, it is very doubtful
what the result may be. Ii the plunderers
succeed i nominating their ca andidates such
republicans rs may be thcre, who concnr
with me in the necessity of restoring honesty
in tho government, will take such action as
in our judgement the emergency may re-
quire.
l am very truly and respectfully yonrs :,

SOMETHING ABOUT G. p. BARRETT THAT
MAY INTEREST THE GREENvILLE ORGAN
The new line Republicans of Srarlauburg
County held a meeting ut Holly Springs
Church on the 30th Of April. They elected
six delegates to 60 TO the Grcenville couven-
tion to elect two delegates to represent the
Fourth Congressional district at Minneapolis
Juno /.
The meeting was we'll attended. The local
club at this place is o thriving one and
numbers fifty white men and constitutes the
best element of the people. The following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, Thai, as one c. p. Barrett, of
this county, has been posing as Republican,
and has, in our name. been practicing fraud
upon the people in Washington and outrag-
ing decenOy here by his traffic in little post
offices and other suspicious conduct pertain
ing to them, we, therefore, wish everybody
to know that this man is in nowise connected
with the new Republican movement in this
county. His repeated offers directly aud
indirectly made to affiliate with US have been
spurned because he has been regarded by
our people as being q common blackleg and
an unfit uerson to be in our NOV vement.
Resolved, That the Democrats who now
claim him as one of their associates are well
come to him and we want him to stay with
them. j. L. HANNoN.
