We relate this incident now that Qov,

him to ensrire tlie faithful execution of
the laws as administered by the Courts
and Juries of the State. It was real
comfort and support to Judge C, to know
that Vance and not Brogden would there
after hold the pardoning power. And
there is abundant reason Jto believe that
the Judge had the concurrence of a large
majority of the people on the same sub
ject.
But we disclaim any reflection to
the damage of the Governor in this
relation. We are aware there has
been much complaint against him in a
few cases wherein he has exercised the
pardoning power. The recent case of
-Chipman, in Guilford, we have been as
sured gave great --dissatisfaction to the
people of that county. The case of Hed-
rick, the wanton murderer of a man in
Yadkin, caused dissatisfaction there, to
wlnie extent we are not prepared to say.
But we hold that only those who are
thoroughly acquainted with any particu
lar case, iuJ (he representations of it
which were sent to the Governor, can be
a competent j.'tfltfe in suclt- ease ; and as
we are noTso thoroughly informed as to
any upon which the (governor has act
ed, it is not for us to sav whether he
did right or wrong. We lelieye he acted
conscientiously, and that lie pan tjefend his
actions by such facts and argmncntgaj wjll
satisfy a reasonable public of his integrity
iu the.prepiisjes, It is fto disgrace fo adr
rmjt f he possibility of error on the part of
any man, but it is a positive good to have

peachable character, though his fearless
ness iu -the discharge of conceived duty
may sometimes raise a clamor.

Gov. Wade1 Hampton, of South Caro
lina, will address tyie Agricultural Socie
ty of Winnebago county, at Rockford,
111., to-morrow night. On his journey to
that nnint he stohnetl here to-dav. and
during his sojourn was waited 011 by a
Herajd representative; The Governer was
n?1 n;ucli inclinel to tou&U upon politi
cal topcg, and remarked that he would
much prefer conversing on agriculture
than the political situation. He mention
ed tjje l,c that Jeff pa vis had been inj
yited two years aQ to siddres? this same
agriculture association ap !Jtckford? and
tlie Grand Army of the IJpnubljc would
not permit him to speak. Anonymous
ittprs were sent to Jrf Davjs, in wliich
tJire;Us were made against his life should
he make the attempt tq accept the inyjtar
tion.
TXIUEATS OF A55ISSIXATIOX.
VI have bpen threatened -myself $ouyT
mously," said the Governor. "I have let
ters now in which I am threatened with
assassinatjpu f J difje attempt to address
;i crowd at Rockford, but these letters are
written by cowards. The meanest anon
ymous letter e'er written, I think, was

"To Wado Hampton, Gqjumbia, g. fj.,
or wherever else the damned vijlian may
be. Curses on his soul, "
CARPETrBAp IMQIUES,
The Governor then said: "I see by
the papers to-day that Miles C. Parker
has made confession touching iniqui
ties of tlie Chamberlain administration.
They arc all confessing now,' Parker us-
ea to be Mate i reasiti'er, lie was once
arrested, tried and convicted, but oscaped
from the State. By the way, you know
secret investigation is being made, into
the crimes committed bv ex-oflice holders
in the State of South Carolina. Some of
the papers are striving to create the. im
pression that this inquiry amounts to a
systematic persecution of innocent parties.
This is great injustice to the people of our
State and to the administration of which
I am the head.
. TFIE GOVERNOR GIVES THE FACTS.
"Now let me give you the facts," said
the Governor. "A committee was ap
pointed by the Legislature to ascertain
whether auy funds had been misappro
priated by officials 'or the credit of tlie
State improperly employed. The resolu
tjqn for the appointment of the commit
tee was offered by a republican. A ma
jority of the committee itself are republi
cans. The Grand Jury, before whom the
facts are leiug laid,' are nearly all repub
licans, if I am not mistaken. The inquiry,
in short, is essentially a republican meas
ure, and when ull the evidence against
the rinjrsters is brought iut there will not
be aepublicau in the State who will not!

corruption and roguery of Tammany or

more liln.i.; r htagmficcne scale than
that which pijaractejized the republican
administration ii South Carolina. Why,
sir, just look at some of the evidence
brought put by this investigation! Bo

they m stipulated at pleasure. fn the

negroes who had been 'originally field
handa who could nettle' read nor ' write.
This body appropriated $350,000 to pas
tor public printing for one session, That
was nearly as much as it had formerly
cost fo itiii th,e whpje State government.

DISCOVERY MADE.
"The Investigating Committee have
discoverd that of this $350,000 the sum
of $122,000 was paid out in bribes to pro
cure the passage of a bill for the appro
priation. 1 nave recentiv oeen shown a
list of thirty or forty legislators who had
accepted bribes. Opposite each name
was the amount asked by the bribe taker
and also the sum paid him. Under the
single head of legislative expenses $0,000
was disbursed in the interest of corruption.
There is plenty of evidence that faces of
warrants were tampered with. For ex
aj'Ulle, one warrant issued by the State
cajlpd for $U-,000; the first "two figures
were deftly converted to 44, swelling tho
amount to four times the original sum.
A fello named B. F. Whittemore, who,
yq'u wijl recollect, was expelled from C011
gresjj fqr trading iu cadetships, was oue
pf the leaders of this gang of plunderers,
and this man Parker who now comes out
with a confession, was in all the rings and
can, if he will, let out some hideous se
crets. A good many of the robbers are
turninrState's evidence. One chap, who
was clik of tqe Senate, and kept a com
plete diary of all tho thieving transac
tions, is telling all he kuows, and he will
probably be the means of making large
restitution to the State treasury."
"Have you reason to think Governor,
that Chauiberlaiu shared in these steal
ings ?"
i'l cunJ; say to what extent Chamher
laiu realized on these spoils. He was
connected I know, with nearly all the
boards, but he says himself that he was
Ignorant of the villanies that were being
perpetrated on the people. Again I say
it does us great injustice to ascribe this
investigation and prosecution to political
antagonism. It furnishes the highest ius-
tification of the government which our
- "lu-uguiuieu asr iiu tne govern
meut founded ou a popular detcmnnation
to break np the rings and overthrow a
corrupt government, whiclj was oppress
ing and at the &ajue time rubbing them.
TflK COLORED PEOPLE.
"The colored people are heartily in
sympathy with these efforts to uncover
frauds and bring the official plunderers to
justice.
The Governor was here asked if there
was any political excitement among the
masses in his State at jtiis time j especial
ly if the whites were antagonizing the ne
groes. ' ' -"1v., .V?

1 Movement to Organize the Planters for
Protection Apainst Speculators and
Jlings.' '
Charleston iiews and Courier.
At the regular njepf Jng of Adamsville
Grange held a tbefr halj at Adamsville,
Mailboro couufy, S. C, on Saturday, the
1st day of September, after an informal
and free discussion of these matters a
committee was. appointed to draft an ex
pression of the sentjments of the Grange,
and the following preamble and re sol 11 t
turns having been submitted were unani
mously adopted :
WTjereas, the cotton buyers and specu
lators of this day are organized and band
ed together as never before so-called
s'Cottou Exchanges," aiming only f pro:'
mote their own individual lutejtisjtj and,
whereas, not satisfied with the heavy, and
in some cases exorbitant, charges imposed
for the handling, sponge, mendings, pick
ings, &c, of our cotton, "they are now
threatening to buy it only at its net
weight, itnposjng upon its producers
tlje loss of biigglny and ties, and indicting
upon the cotton growers of this country
an annual loss of from seven to ten mil
lions of dollars; and, whereas, we know
that, under the adverse circumstances
which now surround the planter, it is in
deed a serious question whether he can
all'ord to grow cotton at all at present
pricvs-Re it, therefore, resolved," i
gist. That it is high time for the plant- j
ers in theif Agricultural Societies audi
Granges, not simply to speak out their j
ujijiositiou to this move, but to devise and i
to mitigate other exibitant and unrea- j
sonable expenses 110 Wj attaching to the !
sale of their cotton.
d. That planters should refuse utterly
to bale and sell cotton exclusive of the
weight of bagging and ties, both of which
articles are re-worked, returned and re
sold to us ngain and again as they reach
the manufacturing mills.
M. That we regard the modern prac
tice of buying and selling cotton "futures,1
where the article itself is neither handled
nor expected to be handled, as a gambling
sort of sjieculation subversive of staid
and sound principles of trade, injurious
to good morals, and detrimental to the
great national cotton growing interest,
and that it should be and may as legiti
mately be restrained or abolished by Con
gressional enactment as any other gam
bling or injurious schemes; sind we do
hereby respectfully-suggest to our sister
Utangosj and Agricultural Societies the
propriety of demanding from their repre-
' sentatives in legislative and congressional
halls the enactment of such just laws as
will restrain or abolish all such practices,
and leave this great agricultural commod
ity to be pqutl'tdlej as in former times, by
the legitimate laws of trade, supply and
I demand. &c.

that its voice may be made potential for

MARE YOUR OWN FERTILIZERS.
USE HARRIS'
E
OR
Home-Made Fertilizer.
Yon can with these chemicals makeyour
own Fertilizer at home, and thereby save the
money paid for high prieed commercial Guani g.
The cost is but one-fourth the cost of commer
cial fertilizers. We will 6how by the follow
ing certificates, from parlies who have nsed
chemicals, for the past three years, that the re-
sult is much greater and therefore more satis
factory. Four hundred pounds of this Compost sown
broadcast over one acre will produce you a
double yield of wheat, and two hundred pounds
per acre, under corn planted exactly three feet
apart, each way, will give fifty bushels of shell
ed corn to the acre on the poorest land.
One horse in one year will produce enough
manure, which with the aid of our" Chemicals,
making it a concentrated manure, to go over
twenty acres of land.
These Chemicals should be bought in August
and September for wheat crop, and from De
cember to March for cotton and corn, as it re
quires from thirty to sixty days to make the
Comjiost perfect.
feliead the following certificates from the
best (aimers in this and the adjoining coun
ties :
Ei.m Grove, July 23, 1877.
To tht Farmers of Scjtck Ji ish Tuicnthip and
the Farmer yen eruliy : Having made and ap
plied one ton of the Harris Compost, on the
present growing crop of corn ami tobacco, and
considering the appearance of the corn and
tobacco, at the present st.ile of -growth, I would
recommend not only the farmers of S. I. Town
ship, but the farinsis generally to use the said
Compost, I have used some of the commercial
fertilizers and consider the Harris Compost
superior to anv I have tried.

This is to certify that I have used five tons
f.f the I Irti ris Empire Compost this year, and
find it equally as ;ood if not better than any
commercial fertilizer I have used or noticed
used, even at the cost of sixty dollor per ton,
making an increase of 100 per cent, on stubble
lands. I expect to buy more largely next
year. F A. ARCHIBALD.

November, 1875.
This is to certify that I have used Harris'
Empire Compost and am well pleased with it,
as it not only prevents rust, but is as good as
any of the high priced Guanos, the cost per ton
making it the cheapest Fertilizer sold.

This is to certify that I used Harris'. Empire

I take p'easure in stating to my brother far
mers all over the country that I used, last year,
Harris' Empire Compost, under both corn and
'otton and the result was astonishing to all my
.neighbor.
The cost was only one-fourth of what I had
been paving for commercial fertilizers.
LENS HOOK.
M ECK LEX Bl ROjCo . N. C. 1S76.
This is to ce-uily that I used Harris Empire
Compost l ist year side by side with several
commercial fertilizer' and I find that the yield
from Harris' Compost was one fourth greater
and the quality hetter than any. It makes the
.-rot ton mature In-trer, an.1 in rnv judgment, il is
preferable in every respect. The cosl was one
fourih the cost of the hih priced guanos, and
one ton will go over ten acres of land.
Yours truly, D. C. ROBINSON.
