lue arbitrary arrests now being made in
South Carolina, wishes to know whetlu
er it is South Carolina or Mexico ? It
says t h ' :
Arbitrary illegal arrests by federal
soldiers, under the orders of federal dep.
uty marshals, have begun in South Caro
lina. Governor Chamberlai i, candidate
for re-election,' opposed not only by the
democrats but by a .fc6nsiderabie and
increasing fact jou in his jtfwif party fears
that he will be beaten: Accordingly he
appeals to the federal '.aic!minstraiiou for
the loan of .soldiers to help him to i intim
idate the recalcitrant ;vvters. ! Having ar
ranged a' board of State canvassers T"of
election and a returning board, the 'ma
jority of whose members arc candidates
on the same ticket wilh him, and are thus
by a monstrous perversion of justice en
titled to decide: the vote ia their own fa
vor; having further mau.-iged that of the
ninety six, commissioners Hfj election in
the cn mi tils seventy should be his de
clared partisans and 'forty office holders
who hold I heir; placet by his appoint
ment ; having thus prearranged the count-!
in his own favor,- Mr. Chambeilain now
summons federal hoops and federal unar
rhals to arrest citizens known to be op
posed to him in politic. And all this
iu the United Statesand under the au-j-pices
of a p irty which once called itself
the pre-eminent friends jof liberty, and
ne of whose leading . triembvrs held the
I.;itivv Slave law to hq uncbuslituM inal
because it i iteiiferid with the rights of the
State. i j
Mr. Charles -Francis "Adams, in a re
cent published Jetted warned the people
againsi uie i evoiui tonary icnaeucies or
(lie republican leaders; Was he far
wrong? A multitude of; respectable cit
iz ns, among theiuj all the lepublicati
members of thrS"upiyme'. Bench of the
Siate, assert, publicly that there is no
trouble, no political violence: or lawless
ness in South Carolintt. The citizens
who have been arrested have submitted
quietly. The .Governor Ihimself has uiade
no pretence even of an tfi'ut to subdue
lawlessness ; he has done nothing but
issue a violent 'and incendiary poclaua
tion and sent for federal troops, like his
prototype, Perrin, in Alabama, who shot
a whole through his own hat and then
called for the siddiers. Ihes the repub
licati pirty of the North consent to such
revolutionary acts as this ? Is this a
sample of hat it propose? to do if it is
i'ii ilbmed in power another four years ?
If so, then ihe saiest, the only safe course
for Northern voteis, is to turn it out.
There can be no doubt on that subject.
This is iiol Mexico ; but these acts of
Governor t. hauibei lain, this misne of
federal troops iud federal powers would,

u continued tojjr years longer, set us a
long way toward Mexico. If it is "rall
ied that the political party which hap
pens to possess the federal government
may match its soldiers W.to the Slates for
political purposes, then ;v.e have paved
the way broadly for general civil disorder.
If these proceedings in South Carolina
are not promptly dhso wired by the repub
lican candidal; every Northern citizen
who has a stake in the country ought lo
him.
on bail thia afternoon. The fifth, J. 0.
Boyd, a most quiet and inoffensive man,
was held until to-night. The commis
sioner, not being able ' to find a warrant
for him, has tust released him on bond,
without tho warrant appearing, and says
no doubt there is one, as Boyd is on his
list." The prisoner says tlrat none was
shown him ; but the mistake can easily
be rectified by a warrant being prepared
and ante dated, as plenty of negroes are
on bond willing to Bwear to anything.
United States Marshal Wallace has
been in Lee & Clyde's offi jeall the morn
ing paying out money to negro witnesses.
About fifty came up to-day, most of them
fronyRouse'js Bridge, and for every cross
affixed to the affidavits yesterday the
philanthropic marshal is paying one dol
lar and a half. This immediate payment
of witnesses certainly looks, to all who
know negroes, like a bid by the govern
ment for perjured tistimdny. The wit
nesses are coming into town from the
Silvertou section, leaving their campaign
meetings, and eager to earn their easy
wages by falsely swearing Democratic
gentlemen into jail. The filling in of
names and afljxiug the crosses of these
negro volunteers to the printed affidavits
is going steadily on, and Marshal Wal
lace blandly informed me that he would
i emain here some days, as he has a pile
of work ahead of him. P.

Black vi llk, S. C, Oct. 13. United
Slates Deputy Marshal Hanfin arrived
from l he city yesterday. He went to
Barnwell this morning and arrested three
colored Democrats O. C. Gantt, Dick
Saddler and Henry Winter. The al

The preliminary examination before

A Paris correspondent of that paper
commenting on them says : The note is
concilitory, submissive, and almost hum

The Times in a leading editorial article
says : iurkey could not possibly have
been more conciliatory. The note judi

nothing iu it which Russia or ! any other

This story good' to read in these days
of business avarice is told of Nantucket
a generation ago : '
It was. a very severe winter, and the
harbor had been frozen over four weeks.
The coal in store had been exhausted,
and there was much suffering from lack
of fuel. Even the fences had been torn
down and burnt to eke out the scanty
supply of wood. To the great delight of
the towns-people, the ice J)roko up one
fine morning, and a schooner, ladeu with
coal, was seen approaching. There was
much excitement, and before the craft
moored, a coal dealer boarded her and
eagerly addressed the honest Quaker
skipper, Captain Gifford. .
"Wal, Cap'en," said he, "you've about
hit it this cruise. I-guess I'll hev to take
y'ur hul cargo. S'pose you'll want
more'n the usual seven dollars -a ton.
Wal, I like to do the squar' thing hy a
friend, and I'll give you twelve, dollars a
ton for it." '
"Friend," said Captain Gifford, "thee
can have one ton oCmy coal, if thee likes,
for eight dollars, but only one ton ; all
must have a chance."
Just then one of the richest men in the
place joined them, saying, "I want ten
tons of your coal, at your own price.
Name it. 1 have suffered long enough
for once."
He received tue.same answer, and so
did all one ton for each family, and
eight dollars was the price of each ton.
No love of gain, uo solicitation, no-regard
for individuals, could move honest ' Uapt

,v FALL PLOWING.
When wheat and rye have been sowri'7
and the corn husked it la too frequently
supposed that nothing more remains to
be done in the field. But there is no sea
son in which more useful work can be
done in tho field than the Fall. The
plow should be kept going until frost
puts a stop to the work., There are .
many reasons why Fall-plowing is bene-
ficial. The effect of the weathering of
clay soil is such that no impfemeuts can
produce it. .The repeated frosts and,
thaws so break up and mellow tho Joil .
that there is in the Spring a finer seed
bed than could be bbtaiued with allTfe
plowing and harrowing that could be -given
to it. The work done inthe Fall
is not only better done, but so much is
put out of the way in preparation for
Spring crops, the plowing for which is
often delayed by unfavorable weather nn
nuch as to, endanger the success of the
crop. 1 bo corn stubble should by all
means be plowed now, so tbatfats can be .
sown as early as the mellowed soil is
dried by the first warm suns in the Spring.
This early sowing i3 sometimes thr safety
of the crop ; and the yield upon FalU
plowed soil is always better than npon
the Spring-plowed. There are also many'
insects buried out of sight, which would
otherwise harbor in the stubble. This is
especially the case with the clinch-bog,
which finds a hiding-place An the corn-
j stalks and other rubbish of the stubbles.
In plowing potato fields now we turn un
the destructive Colorado beetle" to tbe
light from his chosen Winter quarters,
and expose him to the birds and small
animals which feed upon him. At thig
season, when-chilled with the bld. the
beetle is inactive and easilv falla
. i"r J
to its-enemies. In a newly-plowed field '
we have recently seen myriads of these
insects brought to the surface, where
they will stay and be destroyed. For
every one we get rid of now we prevent,
possibly, the hatching of a thousand eggs
in the Spring. Cut-worms and white
grubs may also be exposed to enemies
which are eagerly on the lookout for them.
Although tho prevalent idea that tLe.se
insects are injured by frosts is not a cor
rect one, ypt this should be no reason'
why they should not be turned up by the -plow.
They are inactive now, and once
brought to the surface do not again es
cape to their hiding-places beneath, but
are exposed to those animals which. Bub
gist upon them. Thus, if we gain notb
ing but to be fore-handed with our 1 work
aud the destruction of insects, these ad
vantages are so serious that we should by
no meaus neglect mem. new lorc

A WONDERFUL DWARF. -

souilt, such as they with yaukee energy
and intelligence, would give it. And al

problem how to gel the negro out ot the

Colonization is fixing itself in the minds
and calculations of the northern people
as surely and steadfastly as abolitionism
had entrenched Hselt there twenty nve
years ago. The public sentiment that
grew to the power of disrupting the union
and liberatini? the slaves at the South
for which last we offer most devout
thanks) feels that it cau in less than half
the time march the fast one of the black
race out of the country and colonize them
iu some cheap and . convenient place,
where the negro will cease from troubling
and leave .the weary and philanthropic
radical lo rest.
The driving out and colonization ,of
the negroes is as surely the work of the
next fifteen years us that the northern
people are able, toaccomplish iheirdesigns
Over the southern people.
That the southern people will oppose
all such schemes as look to the taking
Mway of the negro from among the peo
ple with whom he has been reared and
his race civilized 's as certain as this peo
pie resisted the breaking up of the old
f and kindly relations that existed between
ihe white gu tidian and the black ward
before the war.
The "Irrepressible Couflict" is still go

last struggle between the north and the
