At Prosperity, a station on the Grtenvileand Columbus Railroad, there dwell iu reach of the sound of the whistle four widows whose names and deeds should be printed in letters of gold. We shall tell of them — to spare blushes —first as No. 1. This ladv—as, in fact, all the others—lost her husband during the war and was left in straitened circumstances. Did she sit down uud grieve at her fate? By no means. She has raised foul chil dren, besides fine crops, and to day she has much of last year's cotton and flour on band, is free from debt and is able to pay cash down for what she wants. No. 2. looks complacently on all of her last crop of cotton and with a sense of perfect rest and absolute fulness on 3,000 pounds of floor, neither of which she has sold be cause she had no use for the money —here's a widow for you. The on ly thing which distuihs her reat now is what to do with her new fodder, every place being occupied with tbe old. She might dispose of some of it to the editor of the Herald* who has been standing to tbe rack for three years, fodder or no fodder. She, too, like a true woman, has raised children and est them up un der their own vines and fig trees. No. 3. struggled through tbe years which have roiled on since the late unpleasantness, raised six chil dren, given each at majority SSOO in cash. Last year she bought a tract of land, for which $1,400 in good money was paid. Has corn, fodder and other things in abund ance. No. 4. like nnto others, has made a splendid fight and brought up a family in the way they should go, has of last year's crops abund ance, pays cash in trade and loans her money out ou interests. THE SOUTH CAROLINA FRAUDS. Charges Against Chamberlain and His Confreres. Special Dlfpatcli to Tn Tunt Washington, August 14. Hon. M. C. Butler, Senator-elect from South-Carolina, arrived here this morning. The legislative in vestigating committee of his state has for its chairman State Senator Cochrane, a most persistent Repub lican. who has served in the Legisla ture for the past eigtt years. Coch . rane swears out the warrants for the parties who are to be arrested, growing out of tbe exposure of gi gantic frauds brought out by the committee's investigations. It is estimated that the State has been swindled out of §10,000,000. The Frauds, and the systematic manner in which they were perpetrated, will make an astounding page in the his tory of the State government of this country. General Butler says that he has had nothing to do with the matte; ; that it is entirely in the hands of the 1 legislature, and, of course, the Governor must issue re quisitions for the paitles for whom the judiciary have granted war rant*. Upon the affidavits of the legislative committee, a warrant will be issued for Chamberlain, who is charged with being concerned in the embezzlement of ever SBOO,OOO, or of conniving at its misappropria tion. There are three different cases against Cardoza, wherein that individual misapplied apppopria tions, and that Moses and Lee are mixed up in millions of fraud. Gen eral Butler deifies being tbe counsel for Senator Patterson, or any one else, lie is not prosecuting or de. feuding any of these people. Pat terson called on him to-day, and the two South Carolina Senators bad a long private chat. TUE STATE MILITIA. Pennsylvania Behind Otner States in Sustaining Her Mi litia--What should be Done to matte it Effective. To the Editor of Tins TIKES. I notice that you this morning, in an article headed "Is the Army the Source of Peace ?" speak of the State having 1 'lavished" money up on the militia, and I take the liberty of stating to you how very far from lavishing haa been the case. The State of Fennsvlvania pays to each company of uniformed mili tia the iuin of #ioo per annum, and this is the sum total, except arms. The men are required to uniform themselves—service uniform, dress uniform, knapsacks, over-coats, haversack, canteens and the thou sand and one things which go to make up a complete military kit. Out of this SOOO per annum is also to be paid the rent of an armory. You will easily see that the amount received from the State is not one third the actual expense of each company. T1 e State of Connecti cut uniforms, ar jas, equips thor oughly and completely her militia; requires them to go into camp two months each years and pays them for so doing. The Massachusetts militia is organised on the sune basis. In New York the city fur nishes each of the regiments with a large and commodious armory. In this city the entire division has not one room sufficiently large to manoeu vre a battalion in. The result of all this is a lamentable lack of mili tary spirit. Poor men cannot in dulge in the luxury and rich men are not so plentiful as they were before the panic. If leading newspapers, such as.your own, will advocate the proper reorganization of the militia there will, no doubt, be something done. It should be uniformed by the State, as well as armed; be sup plied with a full and complete camp equipage, overcoats, knapsacks, and all supplies necessary to enable thsm to go into the field at short notice and yet be comfortable and efficient, and the city should supply each regi ment with an atmory sufficiently large to drill its men in comfortably. VINDIX. "THREE MILLIONS OF IDLE HEX." Three millions of men out of work! What an announcement! Add to this number say five millions more who are dependent for support, and we have these startling figures, 8,- 000.000 persons calling for help. Is it any wonder that the labor ques tion is being pushed steadily and boldly to the front ? That it is de manding consideration and investi gation, and is daily assuming more importance ! Idleness, poverty and failures, bank ruptcy and crime spread over our fair country, and there does not aeem to be anyone capable of devising ways and means of bringing about a better state of affairs. Strong and brave men wear out their hearts as they see wives and children in want, and after months of vain searching for em. p'.oyment, too often are tempted to crime or maddened to suicide. Yet this great land is broad enough for all, and millions of acres which will yield a sure subsistance to patient workers lie waiting for any man to till them. Our cities are o vet crowded. While tbe rural districts have leen neglected, .and we may say measurably despised, the towns have overflowed until the supply of labor far ecceeds the de rajmd. Notwithstanding the con* th&ri warnings given through the newspapers and in other forms, tliere is a continnal rush into the cities. Some come because they thfpk city life is easier than oountry life, and should they fail to obtain employment the Dorcas organiza tion will not let them want, and thua they crowd and crush each other fighting desperately for the work which is not enough for all and wasting no small share of the in dustrial force and productive power, which, rightly distributed, would add to the nation's prosperity. Beyond all doubts this overcrowd ing of civic employments, this dis proportionate massing of the popu lation in places where hundreds of thousands must struggle In vain for work, has been an important cause of recent prolonged disasters. Com petition in any business is an excel lent Incentive, but competition of ten ruins business. It works in two ways; it stimulates production and consumption, but it also re duces profits, often below the point of safety, and then come long cred it?, losses and failures. The best store of society Is that in which all can be employed with a fair remu neration. Extreme low prices either for labor or goods have no perma nent advantage. Unquestionably a large part of the present difficulties of the country are the result of over stimulated labor. During the war many new industries were started, the demand for labor was great, high wages were paid, not only for skilled labor but to inferior mechan ics; men were induced to leave their rural homes and crowd into towns and cities where these industries were calling for them. And this Stimulated industry, this abnormal gfowth of labor was carried through out every department of business. It was fictitious, feverish aud un healthy. All men cnuld see plainly that the demand for iron could not always last, and that gun and cart ridge factories must eventually be shut up, but tbey could not see that boot and shoes, clothing, and all the ordinary trades would be affect ed as well; that there would be a lessened demand for sewing ma chines as well as for diamonds, for food as well as for luxuries. But the fact that there are thiee millions of persons out of employ ment does not prove that business is at a standstill. Compare the couu- try to-day with what it was twenty years ago, and it would seem to be in the full tide of prosperity. We forget the condition of the country in 1837-8. We compare it only with the hot-house stage of 1807-8. The need ef the country is a scattering of useless, concentrated labor, and the opening of new channels of pro duction, and of new markets for that production. It is not that there are three million too many working people in the United States, that they have no employment, but is it because thev are not in the right places to And employment. The remedy 1 Mr GREELEY taught it: 4 'Go West, young man !" The glory of this country is in its ability to afford every man employment, everv man wholesome food, comfor table raiment, and a bouae to live in, but the whole country is not com prised in its towns and cities. Pittsburg Telegraph. IX TBI WOODS OF KEY IDA. A book agent of this city has just returned from Henry Lake county. The agent one day stopped at a cab in situated at the edge of the foot hills. Before lea ving the cabin half a dozen dogs of assorted sizes and unrecognised color started from un der stunted pines or approached run ning from sheds about the place* yelling and barking like a pack of covotes. In the wake of the dogs there swarmed forth seven or eight bare beaded, flaxen hair 4 children, plainly all of one breed, the forest breed. The juveniles were followed bvagauut, saffron-colored woman of forty. By cooking for many years before an open fireplace, she had be come as effectually smode-cured as any herring. To the woman who thus appeared the agent made known his business. "Wall, stranger, I'm afeerd yer come to the wrong place if yer got aothin' but books sell. If yer had some powder, or caps, or authin' in the amernition line, yer might sell some to my old man. As for books, stranger, we're not much on the read hyar." ,4 Could I see your husband, mam?" inquired the agent. 44 Wall, stranger, I reckon yer could if yer was whar he was; he's big enough for to see, Lord knows." 4 -He's not at homa, tben ?" 4 'Stranger, he's not at home." •'Will he be likely to return soon?" "Can't say, stranger, he's a little onsartin." "Which way lias he gone? I may meet kirn in the settlement?" "I reckon not, stranger; he's gone out bummin'." "Gone out bamming ? What do you mean by that ?" "Wall, stranger, he took down his gun this mornin* and from a wink he guv me as he started away, I calkeriate he's gone off some where* to bum a sheep or two."— Xctada Territorial Enterprise. A New York correspondent of the Phfladelpha Ledger hints that there is a strong conviction on the part of the New York police that the secret inspiration of all this ris ing will be discovered in tbe famous International Society which played such havoc in Paris when they had tbe upper band there. After the Franco Prussian war many of the leaders of this society sought, refuge in tbe United States, and it is be lieved that they have maintained their secret organization in this country. A twenty-four pound turtle re cently captured near Norfolk Conn., was strong enough to move about from place to place while bearing upon its back a man weighing 300 pounds. ART PUBLICATION. Few person* are aware of tbe wonderful progress that Art. lion mode in this country during the last quarter ofaccnturv. It If but a few decodes since, that those who desired to beautify and ado* a thur homes, were obliged to depend almoM entirely on foreign artists. But such a state of affairs in tbu age of progress and Improvement could not last long with the great Ameri can people. Geulus from the East to the West, from the North to the Gnlf of Mexi co on the South, answered the demumt for beauty,taste and refinement, and to day our leading artists are not surpassed by the leading modern masters of Art iu Europe. Great Art publishing establishments have sprang up, and by various processes tbe finest and most expensive paintings are reproduced in all their elegance and beanty, and at a price within the moans of the masses. So that no one need bo with out the refining influences of beautiful pictures at home. Among the progressive leading Art pub lishing firms of the country, we take 81 easere In mentioning George Stlnson A 0., of Portland Maine; they were among the first in the business, ana we can only tinderatand the colossal proportions tbcfr trule lias assumed by remembering that this Is a groat and mighty nation of nearly fifty million people. We cannot better Il lustrate tbe magnitude of their business than to state the amount of money paid by them for postage stamps during the year 1876; we have figures direct from the firm, or we should think there was sotnc mistake. They paid for postage stamps during the year 1878, thirty-three thousand one hundred and four dollars and ninety two cents ($83,101, M) and, In connection with this it should be remembered that on ly the small orders wore sent by mall, the larger going by express and freight. GeorgeUttnson A Co's., agents are to be found in every State in the Union and Dominion of Canada, and in every oouo ty with scarcely an exception. Iong since, this enterprising firm re cognized the value of printer's Ink Judi ciously ued iu advertising, and they in form us that without It they could never have extended their business as it is to day In three times the number of years. A short time since tbey paid In a single day twenty-four thousand dollars (/4,051),- 00) on a contract for newspaper advertis ing. They evidently long since found the road to success and have neither turned to the right nor the left Three things are necessary for eminent success In business, First, standard bonost goods that the peo ple generally need and desire,—lot them be the best, whatever the line of business. Second, let yonr prices be reasonable—ss low as possible. Third, let the people know what you have, and what you can do, by liberal and n.-rslstant advertising, and you will find low prices, made known and proved, will bring trade that will give larger Income tlrnu can be made in any other way.
