Most convem £& tes ?*: We have watched the proceedings of the Democratic parties in all the States, to ascertain their views in reference to the great question of the tariff. Without exception, as far as we have seen democratic action on the subject, there has been a uniform denunciation of the present high tariff, and this has been the case in the North and West as well in the South, by every democratic conven tion which has been convened, and now comes the action of the Wiscon sin Democrats, in their convention which met at Madison, in that State, on the 15th of the present month. That body spoke in plain and unmis takable terms on this great question. We copy its resolution. It was the last resolution adopted by that body and this is the language used. This is the last declaration of the platform: “That a reduction of the tariff to revenue basis, is a cardinal principle of the Democratic party and that those members of the present House of Representatives, selected as Dem ocrats, who voted against the bill for the reduction of the tariff, deserve no recognition in democratic coun cils.” What does that mean? It is not a denunciation of them as men. They are entitled to their opinions, but voting against the bill they are not to be recognized as democrats, as mem bers of the Democratic party. A party is a body of people held to gether upon principle. It must have a creed to which its adherents must conform. If the party contends for a low tariff for revenue only, and not for protecting the manufacturers, its members must conform to that creed. Of course no man is bound to support a low tariff if he believes in a high one. As no party has a right to insist upon a man^s adherence to its doc trines if he thinks they are dangerous or wrong. So no man has a right to force himself upon a party, if his doc trine and acts are violative of the principles of the party. Common sense teaches that if a man’s opinions are at variance with those of a party he has no right to go into its meet ings to oppose its rules and acts. If the difference is too radical for com mon union, the minority should de part and seek new associations. Eve ry one will admit that it is a serious matter for 25 or 30 persons to defeat a party when their votes added to the majority, would secure a party tri umph. A few discordant members may defeat a party, on the tariff, or the silver question, when they are, beyond question, the two most im port measures which at present divide the great parties of the country. We regret that there is any reason for a discussion like this, and we feel assur ed that no reasonable man in the democratic party can censure the ma jority for finding fault with democrats j who defeat the party, not only by withholding their votes, but by actu ally casting them with those of the opposing party. Who can be the ar biter to settle such a dispute? There is no way to settle it but by referring the mater to the constituents of the parties who refused to vote with the majority. And if they are sustained by their constituents the old Demo cratic ship will be temporarily ex posed to the winds and storms and possibly to deplorable disaster and defeat. It w r ould hold on, howev er, and look for changes in other sections to make amends for tempora ry losses. We fell assured there is a tide in Democratic affairs, w hich tak en at the flood, will lead to prosper- I Beech Island, S. C., ) Sept. 17th, 1886.) Editors Union-Recorder: Your correspondent now has his face turned homeward, and will, on his return to Augusta, resume his weekly letters to your excellent pa per-. For two weeks past 1 have been rusticating in Western Carolina, go ing from point to point in the Savan nah valley. The crops in the river swamps were totally destroyed by the spring freshets, too late for the farmers to re-plant. The soil in these bottoms is very fertile, productive of the finest corn that grows in the State. In some portions the stalks average twenty feet in height, and I saw one the other day that measured thirty / ro . m ro °t to tassel. German Millett is also cultivated in great abundance. These fertile, low lands are now covered with grass, and the only crop that the swamp farmers will gather this year will be one of hav. In the highlands I find the farmers greatly depressed on account of the failure of their crops. The heavy rains in the early part of the summer, then the drouth, and now in many places the approach of the caterpillar have made such ravages that in this section only about one-half of a crop will be made. When will our farmers cease planting so much cotton?—in fact nothing but cotton with a small percentage of com thrown in.. It is time that they were turning their at tention to diversfied farming, for if they continue losing money on cotton as the majority are now losing, their lands will fall into the hands of North ern money lenders before many years. The country is well adapted to a di versity of crops, and peculiarly to stock raising. Some of the largest and finest pastures I have ever seen abound in this section of the State, along the Port Royal Railroad, in easy reach of Augusta as a market. Some man with a small capital could buy or rent one of these pastures on easy terms, stock it with sheep, hogs, cows, &c, and in a few years could make a fortune. It would pay a thosuand per cent better than planting cotton. A few' days since I attended a meeting of the Beech Island Agricultural club. This is the oldest farmers’ club in South Carolina, and hag done much to benefit the planters of this section of the State. Jin his address before the Edgefield Club, a few weeks since, Senator Butler declared that on ac count of the existence of this club, the Beech Island farmers were the most intelligent in the State. They meet once a month and discuss some subject of practical benefit. On this particu lar occasion the subject was “Stock Raising,” and the Club was highly en tertained by the scientific and practi cal remarks of Maj. Harry Hammond in reference to the same. He advised the farmers to raise their own hogs, to improve the condition of their cows, and particularly to raise their own horses. Ex-Sheriff Sibley, of Au gusta was present, and gave the club his own experience in stock raising. Several farmers immediately announc ed their intention of raising their own horses, and arrangments are now be ing made to obtain a blooded animal for this purpose. At the close of the discussion, the club and their invited guests repaired to an adjoining room where a delicious barbecue and sump tuous repast were served by Messrs. Tutt and Youngblood, the stewards of the day. Beech Island is bloody ground. The famous Sand Bar Ferry, connects her principal high-way with Georgia soil. Across this ferry the boatman has car ried many duelists. On this side of the Savannah’s banks many bloody fights have occurred. I passed the tree a few days ago under which Redd of Augusta shothis antagonist to death. In this same field the handsome Tilly met his former friend, Radcliff of Augusta in mortal combat, and was carried home with the life blood fast oozing from his bowels, caused by the latter’s deadly aim. Here D'Antignac, McDowell, and a host of others illus trated the old Southern chivalry, and bravely faced their opponents in deadly combat. Thank God this wicked thing is dying out, and will soon be numbered with the past. My summer's vacation is fast draw ing to a close, and in a few days I will again be at my accustomed work. The holidays have been delight ful, but I welcome the approaching return of hiy daily labors. Houghton. Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent, Washington, Sept. 20, 1886. Editor Union-Recorder: The principal event for the comiug week will be the inauguration of an industrial exposition of the colored people of this city. Not only are bus mess interests throughout the coun try improving under the “blight” of democratic rule, but the “poor color ed people” whose fate Mr. Hayes bewailed when he learned that Tilden was elected, are so well satisfied by their progress that the many thrifty representatives of the race at the Cap ital are about to hold a great fair to display and celebrate their industrial progress. The exhibition will include samples of the work of colored arti sans and mechanics in many trades and handicrafts and it will be organiz ed and conducted wholly by people of African blood. The negroes of the South hardly require to hold a fair to make known the result of their industry. It is amply demonstrated by the great crops of cotton, rice, tobaeco, corn and other staples of that region, and in the rapidly increasing production of iron, coal, lumber and building stone. The “right of labor and to en joy the fruits of their labor,” which Lincoln asked for the freed men, is now as thoroughly improved by them as the race characteristics and the climate influences of the sunny south will permit. The race is likewise prospering in other ways. Its young are taking ad vantage of the schools provided for them, and the fears of re-enslavement or oppression which selfish politicians inculcated from selfish motives are no longer felt. The negro is a political issue and the bloody shirt pennon ap pear to be out of politics. They are not in the planks of recent Republi can platforms. Republican orators can no longer point with alarm to the bugbear of re-enslavement—that nonsense has been dissipated forever. If the Democrats are successful in maintaining their present majority in the Fiftieth Congress, as seems un questionble, Speaker Carlisle will have to look about in a lively manner to find the right men to have charge of the preliminaries of legislation The Democratic conventions show up to date that, not less than 22 of the 51 chairmen of the committees of the House of Representatives have been refused re-nominations, and not more than three quarters of the conven tions have yet assembled. I doubt the wisdom of thus refusing to re elect experienced men, for it handi caps the party. Several of the substi tutes however, have been in Congress before and possess large ability, cour age and discretion. The rumor that Secretary Manning is to be sent to Austria ‘as United States Midister in order to give him an opportunity to spend his time at cer tain springs that would benefit his health, has been circulated here. Sec retary Bayard knows nothing about the matter. The only explanation ob- obtained from the other people who do not know anything about it is that the suggestion has been thrown out for whaflit is worth in order to enable the President to retain the public ser vices of Mr. Manning in a not very ex acting office where he would have an opportunity to regain his health. The Acting Secretary of the Treasu- 1 y this week issues the 142nd call for the redemption of bonds. The call is for $15,000,000 of the three per cent loan of 1882; “Notice is given that the prin- pal and accrued interest of the bonds here in below designated will be (paid at the Treasury of the United States, in the city of Washington D. C., on the 16th day of October, 1886, and that the interest on said bonds will cease on that day.” Parties holding bonds called by this circular can obtain immediate pay ment, with interest to date of pre sentation, by requesting the same in the letter forwarding the bonds for redemption. What is commonly known as the “voluntary bond call” or the circular of Aug. 30 issued by Acting Secretary Fairchild offering to redeem uncalled three per cent bonds to the amount Personal and General.

Lawson will be a candidate for re-election. He lias- served eight years, with distinguish ed ability and faithfulness and leaves- the bench with the confidence and es teem of the bar and people. Learned in the science of the law, skilled in the practice of the courts, fearlessaud conscientious in the discharge of th* high duties of the position, at tin? same time courteous and affable to all with whom he has con»e in con tact, he has administered the iaw with an impartial hand and an su»- baised mind.

There is a spirit of unrest that per vades all classes of our people, and a people are much what their literature is. This view of the matter puts a heavy responsibility upon journalism. While newspapers are financial invest ments, yet they cannot divorce them selves from the fact that a moral re sponsibility is theirs. Here and there we find a paper which repudiates the sensational, but as a general rule the press has sown the sensational, and the sensational has sprung up and covered the land, not like flowers, sweet and fragrant, but like weeds and thistles which grow only to wound and poison—to fret and aggravate.—Albany News. North Georgia Conference will meet in Augusta, Dec. 1st, instead of Nov. 24th, by order of Bishop McTyeire, who is to preside. The Retort Courteous.—A bla tant, braying sample of the loud-voic ed self-conscious, look-at-me variety of men took his seat in a Philadelphia street car, and called to the conduc tor: Does this car go all the way to Eighth? Yes sir responded the conductor, politely. Does it go up as far as Oxford street? I want to get off there. Yes, -was the reply. Well, I want you to tell me when you get there. You’d better stick a w-afer on your nose, or put a straw in your mouth, or tie a knot in your lips, so that you won’t forget it. It Yvould not be convenient for one in my position to do so, said the con ductor, but if you will kindly pin your ears around your neck, I think I will remember to tell you. Amid the roar of passengers, the man said that he had forgotten some thing, and got off at the next corner. New York has Charleston. raised $75,000 for has been so modified as to offer to re deem “until further notice” all three per cent bonds presented at the Treas ury, at par and with accrued interest up to the date of redemption.

The President and Mrs. Cleveland will spend next Sunday at the White house, being expected here on Friday or Saturday. The house is not yet in a comfortable condition, being full of workmen who are busy giving the finishing touches to the draperies, the placing of the fumiure, etc. Up stairs, perhaps, most attention .of all has been given to the renervation of Mrs. Cleveland’s boudoir, the room at northwest corner of the house. The President’s country house will not be ready for occupancy until late this fall and he may not go there at all to live until next spring.
