FOR THE HERALD. Husbandry---Rearing of Stock. MESSRS. EITORS :-I promised in my last to give my views on the all-important sub ject of Husbandry. That Iabor-on our farms and the rearing of live stock should be re garded by many of our young men as a degrading avocation is one of the new fangied notions of the present corrupt age, there remains not a doubt. It is obvious to every unbiassed, observant and intelli gent mind, that this false corruption has been engendered in igr.orance, false pride and indolence. Did the patriarchs and kings and people of olden times consider Iius bandry degrading to them? The wealth of our father Abraham, of Lot, of Isaac, Jacob and pious Job consiste,l in their flocks and herds of cattle, and we are told in Holy Writ that they delighted in attend ing them personally ; and that their fields and vineyards teemed with corn and fruits and cultivated with their own hands and those of their laborers. In a later age was not Cincinnatus taken from his plough and carried into the Roman Senate, because of his superior wisdom and integrity, to enact laws for the Roman Empire, and afterwards declared Dictator of the most powerful government then on earth ? Did Cincinnatus or his subjects regard plowing a degrada tion ? They most assuredly considered that avocation, then, the most honorable of all the pursuits in life, and was so regarded ever since, until quite a late period in the history of our own country, alone; and slavery was the obvious cause of so foolish a notion. In the past century, did Patrick Henry, the most eloquent orator of his age, and Governor of Virginia, regard plowing as degrading? Wnen we are told that while following the plow, he prepared himself for the profession of the law, and was after wards called as a delegate to the conven tion that formed the Constitution of the United States? Benjamin Franklin, the American Philosopher, was no plowman, but he was brought up a soap-boiler and a tallow chandler, not half so honorable as a plowman ; but he was not ashamed, but proud to write about his poverty afterward. Neither was Chief Justice Marshall ashamed to attend to his own marketing nor to carry a turkey from the market at Richmond for a dandy and simpleton, who was too proud to carry it, but not to eat it. Who was King David but a shepherd boy before he was called of God to reign over Israel-a man after God's own heart, the ancestor of the Messiah. I have digressed from Husbandry, bht as all manual labor is now regarded asede grading by some, I has given these proofs to convince such that it is not. There is no avocation so ennobling to the mind of man as that of Hlusbandry. He is not forced to condescend to low tricks, intrigues or devices to sustain life, false pride, or posi tion, as many have to resort to. The far mer, if he will, can be more independent of the world than any other man, if he rear his own live stoch. It is a noticeable fact, and all history records it, that the wisest, the greatest and most useful men of tnis or any other age, were those who labored either as husbandmen or in some other avecation requiring manual labor, at sorne time in life. It is a l-nown fact that the cul t:vators cf the soil are the main pillars onf which rest the prosperity and wealth of all the States, Empires, Kingdoms and Rtepub h'es of the world. Listen to Virgil, an ancient writer: "Princes a'id lords may flourish or may fade, A breath has made them as a breath has1 made; But a brave peasantry, their cor"itry's pride, When once destroyed can never be sup plied." S ..E - Roseboro, October 15th, 1877. S. C. Monument Association Restaurant. Through the courtesy of the Ex ecutive Committee of the South Caro lina Agricultural and Mechanical So ciety, there will be a restaurant -on the grounds of the society during fair week under the auspices of the South Carolina Monument Association. The Southern Express Company has kind ly agreed to forward free of charge all articles sent on their lines within the State, and request that they sh.all be marked "For the South Carolina Monument Association, care of Mrs. John Bacon, Columbia, S. C." Con tributions of mutton, corned beef and tongues, hams, poultry, eggs, batter, cake, etc., etc., will be very accepta ble, and, whenever practicable, should be delvered in Columbia by Friday, November 9. Those intending to contribute will please notify at an early day one of the undersigned, members of the board. The monu ment is now finished and will @~ erected as soon as the comparatively small sum due the architect shall be collected. It is earnestly' hoped that every daughter of the State will avail herself of this opportunity of being a participator in the noble work of rear-. ing a memorial tribute to the hon ored dead of South Carolina.

Nothing of very special interest has been transacted by this body up to the present time. In the Senate Gen. M. C. Butler and D. T. Corbin are contesting the seat for Senator. In the House J. S. Richardsor. M. P. O'Connor and G. D. Tilman are contesting seats t 'th the three negroes, Rainey, Cain and Smalls. Cols. Aiken and Evins took their seats without op position. In the case of Louisiana Spofford (Dem.) and Kellogg (Rep.) are contestants. Eustis (Dem.) and Pinchback (Rep.) have been con testants for two years; so that Louisiana has no Senator for the present. Those members who re eeived certificates of election from Gov. Nicholls were admitted to the House. The Judgeship. The nomination of Y. J. Pope for A'e Judgeship of the 7th Circr 't has been received with much favor. We think the election of a New berry man to the posi"on is due to this County. No County in t'e State has worked more nobly in the cause of good goverrmnent, and no other County has done more for e interests of the State at large. Be ing one of the Counties in which Radicalism has had full sway, by reason of the large majority of ne groes, she has not had the opportu nity to stand forth in the coracils of the State and claim her rights. She has stood in a dark shado~w since 1868. In the last State elec tion, though she fell 500 votes short of a Cor 'ty majority, her gain was 1,200 over 'he elecHon of 1874-a larger ga.in to 'Ae Demo cratic party -of the State, in propor tion to her popr'ation, than was given by any other County. A great part of this work was accom plisl' d by the r itiring zeal and ''le popularity of the man whose name we offer to the Legislature as Judge. That body is not so forgetf ~ as not to remember his great ser.'ces to the State in various ways. We hoe to see him elevated to the Bench, a position for which he is thoroughly qualified, and a position that, by his enrnent ser. 'ces to the State, he has richly merited. TE SEvmr OIRCU.-Judge Y. . Pope, of Newberry, is proposed as a candidate for Judge of the Sev enth Circuit, to fill the vacancy caused by ''1e resig.nation of Judge Northrop. This is a high and well eserved compliment. Judge Pope is a gentleman of high character, has the entire confidence of the peo 1e and Bar of the Cirer't, and is in every way qualified to fill worthi ly the position for which his Miends present his name. [News and Courier. Editorial Review. It is probable that Congress will repeal the Bankrupt Act. An explosion occurred in the col liery at High Blantyre, Scotland, the 22nd. Two hundred men were killed. South Carolina is the only State in the Union that has colored members in Congress. She has three, Smalls, Cain and Rainey. D. T. Corbin arrived in Washing-1 ton from Europe the 17th and is urg ing his admission to the Senate in opposition to Gen. Butler. Twenty-one wife-murders have been committed in New York City within1 the past five years; and yet not one of the murderers was executed. State News. Capt. Wn. F.

But some people think orte railroad is enough for any market. Prof. W. Wallace Duncan, of Wof ford College, has dec:.ned the Pre.,i dency of Randolph-Macon College, Va. He thought he could do the most good in his present position, and his decision was made from a sense -of duty without regard to the honor of the thing. FOR THE HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 24, 1877. Congress has had smooth sailing so far. In its first week the House was simply or ganized, and was the-eafter, as it still is, engaged in discussing the rights of indi vidual members to seats. So far the Demo cratic majority has been e::tremely liberal in its treatment of the minority. The case under discussion now 's that of Belford and Patterson, from Colorado. Belford will probably be sworn in, not so much on ac count of any right he has to the seat, as because of the Democratic liberality before mentioned. By apparent connivance be tween the Speaker and Republicans this Colorado case was considered yesterday (Monday), to the e::clusion of the regular busiaess of that day-the presentation of bills, petitions, etc. The object of this was to exclude a resolution, to be presented by Democrats, endorsing the Southern and civil service policies of the Adminis'ration. This was intended as a trap for the Rep,b licans who naturally dreaded it, and R a dall ehher took pity on them or believed the resolution would be ;as damaging to his own party as to the other. Meanwhile, the Republicans are consulting each other, members of the Cabinet, and even Mr. Hayes himself, to find out some way in which harmony may be made to appear to exist in the party. The contribution of the latter gentle.nan to the accomplishment of so desirable a result is a concession to members in the matter of appointnents. It is semi-officially stated that hereafter the advice of Senators and Representatives will be heeded unless they have shown them selves unsafe advisers in such matter.. It is also ezplained that the c'vil service order is not intended to prevent the interference of office-holders afLer nomnina, ions are made. These concessions arc forced from Mr. Hayes in various ways. The Senate refuses to act on his no-ninations, or even to refer them to Comnittees. Thus is taken out of reform as promised by Mr. Hayes any heart it ever had. It wiil be well for the country when another party-not controlled by the offce.holders who have fat.tened on the country for half a generation-shall come into power~. In the Senate, Mr. Edmiunds yesterday securedi the passage of h's resoluLion for the nppointment of a comxmittee of seven Senaors, to act with eleven Representatives, whose duty it shall be to consider the laws overning the counting and declaration of votes for President and Vice-President. Mr. Davis, of West Virginia, it has been agreed, shrll have his special committee to investigate the Treasury Department. In the Senate, also, imnerous bills have been presented authorizing the coinage of Siver Dollars, to be legal teader to any amount in payment of debts, public or pri vate, where their payment in gold is not by law or contract made binding. -Senator Jones peesen ted one of these and expresses confidence in its passage. As chairman of the Silver Co.:mxission, Senator Jones pre pared an exceedingly elabo:-ate report on the proprie:: and c:, ediency of ren jn etizing that metal. This report was pre seted to Congress in March last; but is now published as revised during the time since then. Gene-'al Sherman yesterday returned from his extended Westera trip, in good health. He thinhsthere will not be any further Indian outbreaks of i.nportance at present, and favors generous treatment of Chief Joseph, who, he says, conducted his warfare accord ing to civilized ideas. How would it do to retie one of our Brigadier-Generals, and gve the place to Joseph ? There would be no difficulty in mahing the selection. The second laugh of the session-the first being against Mr. Hale, as noted in my last leg.er-was at the expense of Mr. Garfield, late of the Eight to Seven Commission. The proposition having been made'in the Senate to -raise a. committee of seven to consider the meLhod of counting and de laring the Presidential vote, a resolution to appoint a commIttee of eleven to act with them was presented in the House. Mr. Garfield suggested a reduction in the num ber, but Harris, of Virginia, settled .the uestion by,saying the Democrats insisted on "Eleven to Seven this time."~ . SOLON. FOR TEE HERD.

About two weeks since a setter be onging to Mr. H. W. C. gave birth to six pups. These juvenile setters, not being blooded, were killed ; four t one time and two at another. Sev nral hours after they were dispatched the mother instituted search for her rst-born, and found the four first killed in some brush in a gully. She imiediately removed them from the gully, carried them into a thicket, and, having scratched out a hole suf ciently large, placed the bodies in it, orming over the grave a small mound >f trash and earth. She then found the >thers, at some distance from the four irst buried, and disposed of them in i similar manner. Even after the performance of these bsequies she manifested a jealous yare in watching over the dead, and earing strange dogs near the place at wvhich the two were buried, she re noved the bodies to the house of Mr. . and interred them beneath the tisbth tapro hnw r rohi btoconsida ero sagacity and >ronepto oncidernonly sgty cann sydrpiay e incase ide ty oe tn leily, meinces tan eiiy moembers 1.,.1. moineno1 +hnn mano memboro Foa THE HERALD. Soap-Sud Bubbles. BY RODOLPII. Some man (some people would say, t some distinguished man), we can't ;ay whether he was distinguished or 2ot, is reported in the anecdotes told ] )f him, to have said, that the highest I degree of animal happiness he ever i witnessed was that of a large ox lying < down beside a stream of running wa ter, under the shade of a mighty oak, with tall grass growing all round, both within his reach whenever his appetite required it, without the ne cessity of putting himself to any ex tra trouble. The Poet Gray thought the greatest degree of earthly happi ness was to be found, during the warm: days of summer, by going out in the forest, lying down in the whispering shade and revelling in the pages of some exciting romance. Every one has his conception of the juste milien of earthly enjoyment ; some enjoy the billiard table, some the card table, some the sparkling wine, some the pleasures of the dinner table, some the hilarity of gay society, some the ball-room, some the theatre, some the sweet and melting strains of music, some one thing and some another. They are all pleasant enough, if they tend to satisfy the yearnings of hu manity and bring content. "A perpetual feast of nectared sweets, Where no crude surfeit reigns." We belong to a class of conserva tists who are perfectly willing to al low to every one else-financially, so cially, politically and religiously, the right to his own opinions and his own conceptions of happiness. Happiness is happiness, be it what it may. Now our conception of one species of happiness, where one has arrived at maturity, is to be so situ ated that one can sit and observe and watch the movements and actions of a group of merry children as they dis port themselves on some pleasant day unconscious of the eyes of an observer. A few days ago (it was on one of these days when the trees are fu' of crimson buds, the air of humming in sects and the woods full of birds; when the sun shines brightly and the gentle zephyrs sigh sweetly as they sweep along), 'twas on such a day as this; we were seated at our casement window, with our feet reposing on the window-sill, with a book in our hand, overlooking the green swardy yard of our neighbor across the way, which is adorned by several respecta ble trees that aford a delightful shade. On this green swardy carpet was to be seen a bevy of little restless chil dren. Yes, little children. How is it ? They want no rest; they laugh at resting, except when nature com pels them. Like a flock of birds, for a moment they are still, then they start off in new evolutions as incalcu lable as the caprices of a kaleiodo scope, and their restlessness and mo tions, from the mixed variety of beau ty and innocence, becomes at least pleasant to survey. Our attention was soon attracted from our book by the shouts, the songs and the bursts of merriment that issued from their childish lips. There were dark eyed boys and blue eyed~girls; some were engaged in dancing tbe rope, some in chasing one another,. some in playing ball, and some we~noticed were seated around an earthen bowl, with little chalk pipes in their hands, which ever and anon they dipped into the bowl, then placed the stem to their mouths and blew out from the bowl of the pipe prismatic globes, "soap sud bubbles," that would rise like so many balloons and then suddenly van ish away. Some we observed would burst at the very mouth of the bowl, some would scarcely get a foot before they would explode, some again1 would airily float for some distance, some again would rise and rise and float high up in the air before they vanished away. Each little gladsome fellow appeared to be deeply interested in blowing "a bubble" that would rise and float beyond that of others. A failure was always accompanied by a drisive laugh, and a success by a merry shout. We are by no means envious or pu ritanical. We love to see the young enjoy themselves, for we well know that these are their halcyon days, their hours of bliss. As we sat and looked and looked we could not help exclaim ing with Byron : "You little curly headed, good for nothing and mischief making monkeys."t Gather the rose-buds of life, for old< time is swiftly flying, and comingi days will probably overcome you with their cares and sorrows. As we sat and gazed on this merry,j heerful little group of children, we gradually became unconscious of the] scene before us, and the happy shoutsr and joyous laughter died away on our ears, and our mind went wandering back to early days of mirth andin eence, "when we rode on horseback on our father's knee," and wheni again as a "happy school boy" we 1 roamed over hill and valley in pursuit I Df harmless "bubbles," and we thought ~ bo ourselves how much the "bubbles" ~ af manhood life, though seemingly of i more substantial and sterner kind, re like unto the "soap-sud bubbles" s >f children. There starts one ; young, buoyant e md ambitious; almost at the very t beginning his hopes are nipped in the ud. Another, equally as sanguine, ~ ;tarts, makes but a step or so, and r 'ails. Another goes still farther, and 2 mother still farther, ascending higher tl mnd higher inj the scale of human n >ower, human wealth, human fame e mnd human grandeur. Alas ! what is all the golden full iess of life-its pomp and its glory ? y Stripped of their flimsy masks" v vhat are all the visions and dreams of f: nt,v,? f.hp nridp~ nf wealth. the sDlen- ~ CSnow flakes on the river, a moment vhite then melt forever." We run hither and -thither; we )low our "bubbles ;" we shout, we augh, we make merry ; we watch hem rise-each one expecting his 'bubble" to rise above the others. 3o it is-men are but children of a arger growth ; and after all, the fame, he power, the wealth, the grandeur hey seek and pursue, prove in the ;nd but "soap-sud bubbles." It eems to me, said Sir Isaac Newton ifter a long life spent in search of the mysteries of science, that I have been i mere child hunting pebbles on the sea-shore. There was a lumbering noise; we were aroused from our dreamy reverie; the book we had been reading had Fallen on the floor ; we looked out on the greensward before us; the sun was shining brightly, the balmy ze phyrs were still playing softly among the leaves; a bird sang sweetly from a neighbofng tree; there was the rumbling of a passing wagon; the clang, clang of the blacksmith's ham mer's swing ; but the little group of merry children, with their gladsome shout and joyous laugh as each had blowed forth but a short time pre vious his "soap-sud bubbles," were all gone; gone "Like the leaves of the forest when autumn hath blown," and silence, deep repose, reigned over the spot where childish t riment had been heard, as if there a been no sound. As we rose and turned away, sad at heart, we said to ourself, what is all the power, the fame, the greatness, the wealth, the glory that man may strive to accumulate in this world but Sportive bladders in the balmy sun, Soap-sud worlds, and the greatest cannot show More radiant colors in this world below, Which as they break, the slaves of care re prove, And tell them "such are all the joys they love." FOR THE HERALD, ENOREE PLANTATION, October 26, 1877. MESSRS. EDITORS: In the issue of your paper of the 24th instant, you publish the resignation by Hon. H. C. Corwin of his seat in the State Senate, and its acceptance by Hon. W. D. Simpson, President of that body, and you remark as follows: "What effect this resignation will have on the contested case of Lipscomb vs. Corwin we are unable. to say. CoL Simpson will either issue a writ order ing a new election, or refer the matter to the Senate at its approaching ses sion-the latter course is probable." Pending the protest and contest the President of the Senate can do no thiog until the Senate acts; unless Captain Lipscomb withdraws the case. The only thing ever hoped for, was, in consequence of the irregularities and illegalities attending the elections in this County in '76 they would be sent~ back to the people. This the resignation of Mr. Corwin effects so far as the Senate is concerned. There is no law by which Captain Lipscomb can be seated, and the Senate will not make a ruinous precedent. If Cap tain Lipscomb withdraws his protest and contest, and notifies the President of the Senate, a writ of election can issue in time to fill the vacancy before bhe Senate meets, and if he is the hoice of the .voters of the County he will be elected ; if not, the County. can lect their choice. If Captain Lips yomb continues the protest and con est, and fails to be seated, the County will be without a voice in the Senate uring the next session, which will be the most important one ever held n.the State ; for by the time the Sen-. te acts, and a writ can issue, and an sletion be held, the session will have assed. This is a matter of deep in erest to the people of the County,. id should receive their earnest con tideration. I am, sir, yours Very respectfully, ELL1sonr S. KErr. FOR TEE HEALD.

Mrs. Kate ikard has some very fine corn on Can ion's creek. We passed by Mr. Lang uff's watermelon patch, but alas, they vere all gone. He has some good cot on on his place. We saw a large pile imashed cane at Mr. C. Levingston'se lne mill, and the mill was still grind ng away, making molasses. We passed y Jolly Street, but saw no jolly people. dr.

NEWBERRY, Oct. 29th, 1877. A meeting of the Newberry Pomona Grange is hereby called on Friday, the 9th day of November, at Newberry C. H., at 11 o'clock, A. M. The meet ing is called at request of several Sub. Granges, for the purpose of installing the officers and making arrangements for the celebration of the anniversary of the Order of the Patrons of Husbandry by all members of Sub. Granges con nected with the Newberry Pomona Grange. All delegates are earnestly requested to attend, as other business will be called up. J. S. HAIR, Master Pomona Grange. A. J. KILGORE, Sec. |From the Grange Recor 1.] South Carolina. Since the last report made, and pub lished in the Grange Record of last quarter, the Order, in this State, has been much revived and strengthened, not in numbers, but in condition. The system of Pomona Granges, which is being introduced, has been of vast advantage, and will, it is confi dently hoped, in time put the Order in complete condition in this State. The great, and almost universal, poverty of our agricultural classes has prevented any very extensive efforts being made to establish co-operative business institutions among us, but such as have been attempted have ex ceeded the most sanguine expectations. Many very interesting and beneficial meetings cf the Order have been bad during the past quarter, in various por tions of the State. J. N. LIPSCOMB. FOE THE HERALD. The Hop. On Monday last four young gentle ment becoming tired. of dull monotony, and feeling, ine- the absence of any amusement, that life had become "as tedious as a tice told tale to the dull ear of a drowsy man" determined to seek refuge in a Hop. So after "in vestigating" the matter they decided on Tuesday evening, the 23d, as the most proper time and on the Town Hall as the most desirable locus in quo. The invitations being then ex tended they waited ;with~bated breath the arrival of the appointed time. At 81o'clock the tide of couples began to flow in, which: continued for half an hour when the Darkey Band struck up one' of its liveliest airs and the said couples moved off in exquis ite time to the thrilling strains. Upon observing it was noticed that seventeen young ladies were present, two of whom, however, h.ad respect ively taken a "worser" half, All seemed to have their cup of joy full to overflowing, there being not a single objectionable element to mar the pleasure of the refined company. Till the "iron tongue of time told twelve" they revelled in the pleasures of dance and of converse sweet when the party homeward wended its way with better hearts and blither spirits. Such intermingling with the "fair ones" of which 'Newberry may well be proud is couducive "Not on'v to keep dowui the base in man, But teach high thought, and amiable words And courness, and the desire of fame, And love of truth, andall that makes aman." We cherish the hope that the party will go and do likewise soon. BACHELOR. The Russian Court invited Dr. Ayer and his family to the Archduke's wed ding in the Royal Palace.
