The Congressional apportionment bill!
was passed over the Governor's veto in
the Pennsylvania Senate on the 10th
inst. by a vote of 100 to 34.
The estate of C. T. Howard, who
was for a number of years president of
the Louisiana Lottery, is valued at
nearly 810,000,000.
The trial of Mr. Emanuel, in Lancaster,
for the killing of a Mr. Cnrtis
in one of the hotels some time ago
resulted in an acqnittal. The verdict
was approved by the majority of the
people, as it was generally believed
that the deceased did- some shooting
and that he was killed in self-defense.
Extensive preparation are being
made in Philadelphia for the erection
of a Catholic College in the interest of
vonng men seeking a thorough classical
and scientific education. Only a
few months ago a site was selected for
the erection of a similar college in
Washington.
The Eastern Insane Asylum at
"Williamsburg. Va., was burned on the
8th iust. Out of two hundred female
inmates only one life was lost, aud this
unfortunate one wandered away from
the building and was drowned in a
creek near by. The loss to the building
"and property amounts to nearly
$150,000.
The publishers of Miss Cleveland's
book, which will appear in the course
of ten days, are confident that the
author has nothing to fear as far as the
circulation ot the book is concerned.
The London Times has already telegraphed
for advance sheet?, and the
prospects are bright for a good circulation,
both in this couutry aud England.
? ? <?a- *
5>OME extracts lruut vxcii. uiaut a
history of the war have been sent to
the press for publication. Judging
from them bis book will be an intertaining
one, and will doubtless be read
with interest, not only by Northerners
but by men of the South, who would
enjoy reading an account of the bloody
war from the pen of the commander of
the victorious forces.
The trial of Ferguson who killed
Benedict in Abbeville last winter will
take place this week. This trial attracted
considerable attention at the last term
of Court when a mistrial was made.
An effort mas made by his counsel to
have the case continued antil next
term but -Judge Cothr&n refused the
motion and it will go on, with what
result it is hard to say.
of's^e^crimn^a]s^^ 'i'he act'
provides that after its passage the entire
control of the convicts shall be
under the direction of the penitentiary
commissioners, and the labor of convicts
shall be confined to such work as
may be required by the State. A good
step in the right directiou.
A Washington correspondent says
the President has not receded from his
position in the least in regard to ttoe
removal of the chiefs of divisions in
the departments. He expects to adhere
strictly to the civil service rules,
and wK*n men are competent -and
deserving the fact thtt they belong to
rs.y other party will not remove tbem.
No departure from this principle will
be made.
. The following will be of interest to
persons seeking office in the Government,
as it was a reply sent from the
White House in answer to a commnnication
as to the best mode of securing
an appointment:
To secure atteniiou to an application
for appointment a particrlar posi^
l-? -i u i? 1x7u ,
tiuii suouiu uf uaujcci. it ueu tuta is
done the papers are filed the proper
department, and when the matter of
appointment is to be determined the
names of candidates andbriets of their
endorsements are laid before the President
by the head of the department.
Among the nnmber of appointments
made by the President on the 8th inst.
was E. M. Boykin, to be United States
Marshall for the District of Sor.th
Carolina. Major Boykin was the ca iens
nominee of the South Carolina
Congressmen. His appointmeut will
give entire satisfaction to the people of
the State, and at the same time it is a
just recognition of the young Democracy
of the Slate. Major Boykin,
although a man of only thirty-three
years of age, has been ck>sely identified
-with the. Democratic party, and
has done good service for his State and
the best interests of his party.
The failure of the liberal ministry
on the spirits tax in the House of
Commons on the Sth inst., aud its rejection
by a vote of 263 to 252, caused
considerable excitement when an

defeat it has been rumored tbat he will
~~vrs&the Queen and tender-Ms resignation.
T&eJ9ci?y NetoSy speaking editorially
of the consequences of the
vote, says:
It is impossible to forecast the consequences
of the vote. The ministry
-will probably resign and the opposition
take possession of the Government.
We do not suppose that even Conservative
leaders will seek to undo what has
been done on the Afghan question.
The whole nolicv of the country is
thrown into momentary?we hope it
may not be lasting?confusion.
Now that the excitement over the
"Morgan incident" has about subsided,
it may be safe to remark that we think
the severe strictures upon Capt. F. W. j
Dawson were entirely uncalled for. j
The Morgan case is one of the many j
cases of a difference of opinion. Many j
people?ourselves in the number?'
think that Mr. Morgan ought not to
have received the appointment. Other
people, among them Senators Hamp
ton and isatler ana secretary isayara \
(all good Democrats, we understand),
think otherwise. The latter opinion
was accepted and enforced. At all
events, there has been about enough
said on the subject. Some of the news- j
paper comments on Captain Dawson
have smacked very strongly of personal
animosity, and have in this way
lost well-nigh all their forcc.
The Illinois Republicans have nominated
Judge Foraker for the Governorship.
The following paragraph is
taken from their platform:
That the elevation of important and
honorable offices of the Government of
unrepentant Rebels where their political
disabilities have not been removed
is a iiagiaub vivmuuii vi iug wuouvutioa
and an insult to (be loyal people
of the whole eonntry, and we denounce
the Administrtion of President Cleveland
for its genera! discrimination in
appointments so far made against
Union soldiers and in favor of men
who fought against the Union.
It is hardly uecessary to comment
upon such a plank, if it may be so
styled. The President is making appointments
which meet the approval
of all right thinking men. It makes
no difference whatever from what section
they come.
A representation of the Colored
Teachers' Association of Alabama has
made complaint to the Railroad Commisssion
of Alabama that the railroads
do not furnish as good accommodations
to the colored people for the same
money as they do white people. They
do not claim or desire an intermixture
of the races, but simply ask that when
a first class ticket is bought by a colored
person it should furnish him as
good accommodations as a first class
ticket held by a white citizcn. The
Commission said they recognized the
justice of the complaint, and would
take steps to impress upon the railroads
the iustice in giving equal accommoda
tions to all for the same money. To
accomplish this it would not be necessary
to intermix them, but separate
cars might be provided for the different
races.
Brother Hestphill, of the Abbeville
Medium, although not a farmer,
is giving the farmers of his county
some pretty sound advice, which i:
taken will certainly result beneficially.
He says:
The season is not too far advanced
for our farmers to put in more corn.
The only way out of our troubles is to
raise our own supplies. When this
becomes the general practice we will
have prosperity, and not before. Every
foot of bottom laud that can be properly
cultivated should be put iu corn,
peas aud pumpkins. This will keep
the stock in good condition ana save
the tronble of coming to town, losing
day after day from necessary work.
The land now in grain should be pat
in corn and peas as soon as the crop is
removed. So every foot of land will
make some return and our people will
begin to look ap. This course is more
necessary because the lien law may
possiblybe repealed next winter. If
so, and our warning is not heeded, the
people will be in a wretched condition.
There is ample time to prepare for the
change. It 13 a shame for a man
who pretends to be a farmer to buy his
'"tviaaip 001*13- GTS?'
handles, molasses and clothing."
Gladstone's Defeat.
For some time past a bitter contest
Hoc Kaon In nmorross in Ha
Iween the Liberals and the Conservatives,
which resulted iu the defeat of
the Liberals, with Mr. Gladstone as
their leader, on the 8th inst. As a
means of raising a sufficient revenue
for the expenses of the government the
Liberal ministry proposed to increase
the dnty on spirits, and therebv raise
the fnnds necessitated by the war
the Soudan and the recent troubles in
Afghanistan. The proposed plan failed
to commend itself favorably to the
Conservative?, and when it came to a
test Gladstone was defeated by a vote
of 263 to 252. The defeat of the government
was a great sarprise. No one
doubted for a moment but that the
opposition wonld make a fight against
the iucrease tax, but that the government
would fce defeated was not entertained
for one moment. The downfall
was probably the result of over-confid
ence on the part of the Liberals and
underrating the strength of their opponents.
At a meeting of the Cabinet
after the announcement of the vote it
was decided that it was not expedient
f/?r fKo T .1 IxomId </?Antinna ?\att7A*?
*Vi vuv AJll/VI UiJ IV VVWliHU^ .u If ;
and consequently their resignation was
tendered to the Queen. This will
necessitate the formation of a new
Cabinet should Mr. Gladstone in reality
retire. The Conservatives must
assume control of the government at
this critical period. The Standard in
an editorial says, ''The Conservatives
are bound fo accept the duty of government,
although statesmen have seldom
been faced with so uninviting a
task."
There is no man in England the
equal of Gladstone as a statesman, and
it is not probable that he will remain
out of power long. The Neics says:
The future of the present moment is
a stepping-stone to long success. Gladstone
will be again returned to power
by an overwhelming wave of popular
enthusiasm. The Government was
defeated by negligence or the indifference
of nominal adherents.
No one can tell what will be the
result of Gladstone's defeat in the
House. The government seems unsettled,
and it may be the beginning of
changes which will result in a political
revolution.
PaaaIa va rawi? hi nniniAw
Mr. Hay, First Assistant Postmaster
General, is convinced that the people
should select their officers and not their
representatives. He says:
I am entirely ignorant of any law or
correct principle which directs that the
department must at all conform to the
dictation of a Senator or any number
of Senators in appointments to office.
If the fact should come to my knowledge
that a majority of the patroas of a
postoffice should unequivocally express
their desire for the appointment of a
postmaster who was "by political faith
opposed to the Administration, but
was thoroughly fitted for the place, I
would appoint him, notwithstanding
the recommendation of the State Legislature
or of any possible number of
Congressmen for the seleciion of a man
not thus locally acceptable and sup
ported.
This is sensible talk, and his coarse
will meet the hearty approval of our
people, while at the same time it tfill
be unwelcome news to the ring politi-!
cians. For some time, and with the I
great majority of Congressmen, (we ;
do not speak particularly of our own i
members) it has been claimed that by j
virtue Of their office they snail nave
the power of designating who shall be j
the fortunate appointees in the different
districts. They of course have
their pets, and have little difficulty in
securing a good number of endorsers.
The theory that the number or class of
endorsers indicate fitness has long since }
been exploded, for in this day of busi- j
ness and rush men sign petitions which '
in a number of instances they do not
know or care what they contaiu. Of
course our members of Congress arc in
a better position to influence the appointing
power in the selection of candidates
and their recommendation
should have great force, but where it
conflicts with the direct wishes of the
people most interested, it should be
second in influence, as the people are j
in a position to better jndge.the fitness
or qualification of a candidate, and
should have the right of selecting their
own officers. As Mr. Hay says there
is no law or correct principle which
directs that the department should be
governed at ali times by the wishes or!
desires' of Congressmen, and there
should not be, for we are assured that
they are simply the representatives of
the people and have no right or power
to act contrary to the wishes of the!
majority of the people at least in the j
selection of their own office-holders, j
Mr. Hay's declaration will strike a i
responsive chord in the hearts of the
people and he will be supported in his
position by a rast majority of the
citizens who desire competent officeholders
to fii' the offices made vacant
by the removal of Republicans.
The Tariff Again.
A Washington correspondent of the
New York Worid says:
Following upon the report of the
Greystone conference about silver
comes the report, emanating1 from a j
trustworthy source, that another con- j
ference will soon be held of leading i
Democrats holding different views of
the tariff question with the purpose of'
anticipating the difcussion in Congress j
of all tariff matters. The tariff question
is bonnd to be discussed and the ;
Democrats cannot avoid having a lead-1
ing policy about it. The conference
will bo held 111 the hope ot inducing j
the Randall men and the Carlisle men I
to forsake some positions heretofore
held by them. It is difficult to see
how a compromise 011 the tariff' canresult
in a satisfactory way to the tariff
reformers. Any compromise gratifying
to Mr. Randall will be comforting
to the Republican protectionists.
There is little doubt but that the
tariff question will be again discussed
at the next session of Congress, and
that some reformation is needed we
cannot for a moment question. How
this can be done with almost a unanimous
opposition from the Republican
party, and a good number of protectinniefr
TVmrvrrafs- Is a nnestion which
cannofbe too froplv /IkonssRd before
i the meeting of Congress. To frame a
bill which will meet the approval of
the opponents of the Morrison bill two
years ago will be no easy matter.
Randall, with his followers, will, we
presnme, oppose any bill similar to the
one introduced by Morrison, and the
only way which presents itself to our
mind will be a compromise bill?one
which will meet the approval of the
adrocates of a protection foi revenue
oaly, and at the same time .ommend
itself to the Protectionist Democrats
and a few stragglers from the Republican
fold. If snch a compromise could
be made by a conference of leading
Democrats, and a line of action decided
upon for guidance at the next
session, certainly it would result beneCwQllir
fn flii* nriAnlo
1IV1U11J l/V vt IV
But we fear this is expecting too
much, as a leading exchange says
Randall "is in favor of any revision of
the tariff, except such revision as may
be imminent, actually proposed or
practicable. He is always in favor of
some other sort of revision than that
which is under discussion." If the
rumor of a conference is true the result
of it will be awaited with interest, as
the people are anxious that the representatives
of our government should
take some decided action in removing
a form of taxation which has never
done what was promised by its advocates.
The Charleston Collectorship.
The fight over the Charleston Collectorship
has recently come to be a personal
controversy between Mayor Wm.
A. Courtenay and Congressman Samuel
Dibble, inaugurated by the former.
On the 28th May Mr. Courtenay, as
Mayor of Charleston, sent to Col.
Lamont, President Cleveland's Private
Secretary, a telegram, reqaesting him
"to say to the President that Congressman
Dibble has attempted to impose
upon him by the grossest deception in
the Mowry Collector?hip case". This
message was filed in the Treasury Department,
and was there seen by Mr.
Dibble.
In reply to the charge made by
ci. i n:i,ui? l t..?4 I
Jdft/ur v/uux iciiu\f iur. uiuuiv itu ju&i/ j
published a long letter in which be j
undertakes to show that Mayor Courtenay
has in turn advocated for the
Collectorship Messrs. A. H. Howry,
L. J. Walker and B. R. Riordan. Mr.
Courtenay admits a change from Mr. |
Mowrv to Mr. Walker, giving as his j
reason that after signing Mr. Mowry's |
paper he discovered certain facts con-1
cerning Mr. Mowry's business record, I
which led to a change of views. The
paper from which Mr. Dibble concludes
that Mayor Courtenay advocated Mr.
Riordan is a telegram dated 20th May,
addressed to the President, to the effect
tnat as Mr. Riordaifs name was under
consideration for "an honorable appointment",
the Mayor took pleasure
in attestiug his fitness for "any position
to which he may be assigned, at j
home or abroad". The Weics and
Courier says that this telegram had
reference to some foreign appointment,
and not to the Collectorship.
In answer to Mayor Conrtenay's
charge of deception practised upon the
President, Mr. Dibble publishes a
written statement previously fiJed with
the Secretary of the Treasury, which,
Mr. Dibble says, is the onlv representation
he has undertaken to tnake in"
reference to the Collectorship. This
statement sets out that Mr. Mowrv has
strong financial as well as political
support in Charleston? each being
quite as strong as Mr. Walker's; that
the "section" of the Charleston Democracy
to which Mr. Walker belongs
has received recognition in the appointment
of Mr. B. F. Huger as postmaster,
while the "section" to which Mr.
Mowry belongs has not yet been so
recognized; that Mr. Mowry has
always been an earnest worker for the
party, the firm of which he was a
member having, in 1S77, shown great
liberality in furnishing financial aid to
the Hampton Government at a time of
very great need; and that the charges
brought against Mr. Mowry's personal
character and business inte<rritv. are
found, after ariose investigation, to
' ^ ^ '
be entirely nnsuslained by the evidence
adduced. Mr. Dibble lurther
says that he would have taken no part
in the contest for the Colleclorship,
except that -the business community
were divided, and, when he found thart
to be the case, be lent his influence for
the persou whose appointment "Jie
thought best under all the circumstances.
Mr. Dibble's article is a long one,
and shows cvideuce of great care in its
preparation. It appears to us to acquit
him fully of any charge of improper
conduct in connection with the controversy
over the Collectorship. Some
of the papers?notabiy the Greenville
News and the Abbeville Press and
Banner?have very severely criticised
him for his card of the oth June, in
which he alluded to Mayor Courtenav
as "this champion defamer"?in referring
to Mr. Courteaay's letter to Col.
Lamont. We have no part in the personal
controversy between Messrs.
Courtenav and Dibble. But it ought,
in simple justice to the latter, to be
remembered that he was charged by
Mayor Courtenay with having "atfpmnfpfl
to irnnnsn nnon the President
by the grossest deception". To this
charge Mr. Dibble was bound to
reply. In that reply, whether in his
card or in his ampler statement, we
cannot see that he has used terras any
harsher than those employed by Mayor
Courlenay in his inauguration of the
controversy.
The Collectorship muddle grows
worse day by day. It is now said that
the President has intimated that as the
faclions seem unable to agree upon
anybody, he will let the incumbent
Johnston serve out his term. This is
all wrong. Johnston is an unworthy
and obnoxious Radical politician, who
should be made to quit at once. The
President's alleged embarrassment
would be ended and the Democrats in
this State be srratified bv the aDDoint
meat of Gen. John D. Kennedy,
whose capacity for the position cannot,
be qnestioned. His arduous and^ble
services to the State ought nqg?gi|
forgotten?unless, a$^T'bomet2im& appears,
those who have done the hardest
work are to be ignored, to make place
for others who were at best mere sluggards
in times of greatest need. Gen.
Kennedy's non-residence in Charleston
matters not at all. The majority of
the Collectors of the port have been
taken from other portions of the State.
The selection of a non-resident in the
present instance is rendered especially
proper by the wrangle going on between
the Walker and Mowrv factions
in Charleston. N
THE RAILROAD TO SKELTOX.
Messi's. Editors: Would it not be well
to agitate the construction of a railroad
from this point to Shelton? We need
just such an enterprise. I can see no
reason why it would not pay. It certainly
would intersect the best point
and open up a field from which we
could reasonably expect a gain. It
certainly wonld course its way through
the be>t section ot the county and turn
the channel of commerce to this point,
which is now almost entirely lost to
us. We need just such an outlet, and
I would like to see the subject discussed.
It can do no harm to agitate
it; good may grow out of it. Anything
that will tend to develop the
hidden resources of old Fairfield should
be cultivated, and I believe this will
tend in that direction. At any rate let
us hear from others interested and see
if we cannot pnt in motion a ball that
will culminate in success.

Vigor is unequalled; it contains neither oil ;
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and '

agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mr. C. P. Bricher writes from Kirby, 0.. j
