The New York strikers still hold on,
but with one exception there has been
no violence on then* part.
The Senate on Thursday confirmed
the nomination of Col. D. F. Bradley
as internal revenue collector for the
district of South Carolina.
It is said that the Hon. lioscoe
Conkling prefers to content himself
with a law practice of $60,000 in New
York city to taking a chance in the
political lottery.
Comptroller Tkexholm has given
the $100,000 bond required under the
law and lias entered upon the dis

charge of his duties as comptroller ui

It is estimated that the funeral of
the late Senator Miller will cost the
National Government not less than
fifteen thousand dollars. This is the
way the people's money goes.
Ax organization having as its object
the encouragement of marriage among
its members has been formed in New
York recently. Each member is to

Charleston* seems to be making a
remarkably bacl score with the ball
and bat. It seems every day that the
old story of being left is the order of
the day. She should spur up and win
a game occasionally at least.
For the benefit of ail parties interested
^ve learn and announce that the
Farmers' Convention -will be held in
the Agricultural Hall at Columbia on
Thursday, and that the meeting will
be called to order at 12 o'clock.
Humors of the approaching marriage
of President Cleveland have
gained their way into the press of the
country, and it now seems to be a settled
fact that the ceremony will take
place early in June. If it be true it
will be the second instance of a President
marrying during his term of
office.
The genuine strike has at last
reached New York, and as a con?e
ljut;iiur Jicai j v an uiv uu uuvo
hare been tied up and business on the
roads suspended. On the evening of
the first day of the strike a serious riot
occurred, in which it seems the strikers
fared pretty badly- If seems that the
men have no serious complaint to
make, but are just obeying ordersLabor
against capital seems to be the
order of the times, and the result of
the contest will be awaited with interest.
The encampment of the Grand Army
of New York, representing an organ
ized body of 35,000 veterans, at a
recent meeting, passed resolutions expressing
satisfaction at the course
reference to veterans of the war holding
office under the federal Government.
They desire to put themselves
on record as approving his course, and
as believing that he conscientiously intends
to carry out the law in favor of
war veterans in appointments to Federal
offices.
Judging from the very small attendance
on the two meetings held here
?the one on Saiesday last and the
other on Saturday?the farmers' movement
has made little impression in
Poii-fiol/l On lioit-hpj' firf.asinn was
the whole number of persons p: e^etit

good part were mere spectators. We
have uo wish either to clog" or to belittle

the small interest shown in it here
indicates a decided want of confidence
in it as a means of benefitting outpeople.
Ix has been alleged by some of the
Ohio Republicans that Senator Payne
secured his seat in the Uniced States
Senate by bribery'and corruption, and
a committee of the State Legislature
has spent several months in investigating
the charges. They at last find that
there is no evidence to sustain the
charge, hot in their overwhelming
desire to secure another Republican
member of the Senate they have decided
to take the investigation into the

Attorney General Garlaxi> appeared
before the telephone investiga_
ting committee on Monday and relmn
viewed before the committee his connection
with the Pan-Eicctric Company,
of which we have heard so
much lately. In a straightforward
way he told of how he became connected
with the company and what
part he had played in all the proceedings.
Nothing of a compromising
nature in. his transaction with the
company could be charged against him.
Instead of using his official influence
to promote the interests of his company,
he stated that if he had been
only a private individual he would
have had au opportunity of advancing
their interest to a much greater extent.
His whole connection with the company
has been honorable and manly,
and should lay at rest many of the
criticisms which have been passed
upon him.
A leading exchange has the following
to say of the late Father Ryan,
who died a few days ago:

Virginia in 1S40. He was educated as a
priest. The war breaking out just as
he was of age, lie followed its fortunes
in a sacerdotal capacity. At the close
of the war he was for a time at Nashville,
and later at Clarksville. For a
number of years he was at Biloxi,
Ali^s., near Beauroir, :he retreat of
Jefferson Dans, and there became
more closely the friend of the exPresident

Tn! ; following comments on the
present labor troubles have been made
by Jefferson Davis in reply to a letter
of inquiry upon the subject:
j Fully appreciating the compliment
I conveyed bv your request lbr mv
views as to what legi>lation might be
adopted to adjust tlie conflict now
goinir on between capital and labor. I
regret that the compliment is so little
merited. The old war between capital
and labor has called forth the best intellects
of Europe. It has disturbed
commerce, overthrown governments,
produced anarchy, and crept from the
wreck without solving the problem.
With us the contest is in its incipient
ctHfp mid hnrmilv if m;iv !)<( that sftme
thing can be done to ( heck it* growth.
Self-interest and free competition for
labor will, wherever laborers arc abundant,
give to the rich the power to
oppros the poor. We cannot legislate
to destroy the mote of self-interest,
tor that lies at the foundation of
progress, and our efforts must, therefore,
be directed to unifying the interests
of labor and capital as far as this
may be done by the Legislatures of the
States. Tho present form o! conflict
! in our couutrv i> between associated
labor and the organizations employing
it. It is not a sufficient answer to say
that the price ot labor ha> advanced,
unless it can be shown tliat the profits
moved pari passu with the profits of
capital; for in this, as in other things
ot comparative welfare, we must consider
the relative improvement. The
standard of coin fort rises proportionately
to the increase of wealth in tlie
country. Your idea ot a Court of
Arbitration, 1 think, has much to
recommend it. The organization of
such a Court, so as to secure equally
the confider.ce of both the contending1
parlies, would require both liberality
and discretion, ami it would be needful
mat their deci>ious <honld be based
on something like a co-operative principle
of industrial partnership, in
which the wages of employees should
be measured by the profits of the corporation.
If in this manner a community
of interest could be established,
the welfare and contentment of both
would seem to be a possible result.
"Compliments of Hoses''.
It has been rumored in different
I, A Cf iktA O 11/1 1 1 <*? .' ItAOl)
jnunviJo ui itiu ijiaiV) aim ua*
alleged by several of our exchanges,
that the present farmers' movement
is si nply a tidal wave originated bv
Mr. D. lv. Tillman upon which not the
"Agricultural Moses" himself but Lis
brother, the Hon. George D. Tillman,
is to ride into the gubernatorial
chair. "When wc consider the fact that
he has been spoken of as a candidate
for Governor, together with some oilier
circumstances, the rumor seems to us
founded on fact.
We were shown some days ago a
Congressional document from the lion.
Geo. D. Tillman, sent to one of the
delegates elected from this county to
the Stale Convention, which on the
back contained the following words,
"Comp. of Moses". This standing b^itself
scetns a little thiug, but when
point to the same conclu^Wi^^
to a great deal towards confirming"^
rumor that the movement has been
gotten up in the interest of some one
fur Governor of the State, and that
the man is the !Ion. George D. Tillman.
Why "frank" it with "Comp.
of Moses" unless it meant something?
We can only await the result of time
to sc-e whether it is a significant fact or
not. We predict that the rumor is
true and will be proved by future developments.
Our Satercsts in the Bill.
11: speaking1 of the Americans' interest
in the bill now before the British
Parliament, the New York Star say.-:
Referring to the subject of our relations
with England in the event that
Parliament shall repudiate the solution
of the Irish problem proposed by Mr.
Gladstone, reflection strengthens us in
the beliet that tho>e relations would be
dangerou.-lv if not tolerably strained
under such circumstances. We do not
see how the great number of Irish unci
Irish-American people in this country
could be withheld from acts of reprisal
of a character serious enough to embroil
us.
Canada has been invaded twice already
in the cause of Irish liberty.
To be sure, the demonstration was, in
each case, ill-considered, inconsequent,
Irantic, rather than formidable. But
those were the days of Irish weakness.
There was 110 organization, no colie
sion, not even an intelligent unity 01
purpose. It was not to be expected
that any tangible results could be attained
under such unfavorable auspices.
Parneil, however, has changed
all that. The Irish movement is now
represented by a compact, resolute
and homogeneous body of men?men
who know what they want and are
thoroughly equipped for the work of
securing it. W here formerly irresolution,
weakness and infirmity of purpose
prevailed, now there are strength,
harmony, confidence. The leaders ol
the lri-h movement have thoroughly
defined their objects, and the ?eneratioti
tias apphuided them. They have
digested their plan of action and made
sure that civilization will approve
them. They are completely organized,
j abundantly supplied with material oi
I every description, in deadly earnest as
i to their purpose, and enlightened by
the bitter experience of long years ol
failure and misfortune.
We cannot beiieve tiiat such tremendous
forces as are at the disposal of
j the Irish movement could be neutral*
i izod by anv policy of repression Parliament
might adopt. "Within the
'jurisdiction of Great Britainthe movej
ment could perhaps be kept within
i bounds; but wl.at restraining inflaI
ence could or would be exerted upon
j the powerful and determined organiza
tion in this country, equipped as it is
with money and men, and upheld, as
it conspicuously is, by popular opinion.
We cannot escape the conclusion
that wc ure very deeply interested indeed
in the outcome of the Gladstone
bill?not only through our deep and
genuine sympathy with Ireland's struggle
for manhood, but on account of the
facility with which we might be ini
volved in the calamity of that bill's
! defeat.

The Knights of Labor.
The Conores.-ional investisratiiisr com
iriftce appointed for the purpose of
: finding out some of the causes of t>r<>
! present strike among laboring men,
i had their first sitting on Thursday.
| Messrs. Powderlv and McDowell, on
i the part of the Knights, appeared be!
fore tlie committee and revealed some
! very interesting facts concerning their
! organization. The association was
I .
j nmneu in riuiaueipma in tue tan ot
! 1S69, with a membership of nine per:
sons. It was tlis outgrowth of the
. disorganization of the German Cutters'
i Association of that city, which had
been organized four or live years previous,
for the purpose of paving to
' sick member' a weekly allowance dur
ing lheir sickness and to bury their
dead- This organization did not better
their condition in the workshop,
! and as a result the order disbanded,
; and the present Knights of Labor As;
sociation was formed. The society
i from its beginning has not confined
, itself to soliciting members from the
i work-bench and the mine, but the
1 order has been open to all men who
earn an honest living by labor of the
hand or brain hi any occupation.
| Two occupations, however, were excepted,
viz: Lawyers and Bankers,
and as Mr. Powderly says, from the
fact that they were fully capable of
taking care of themselves. It is a
benevolent association for the protection
of the laboring class of the country.
The membership of the organization
has increased from nine in 18G9
until it now reaches about five hundred
thou-and, extending to nearly
evr-rv Sr:itr> hi ihi> TTnimi. hnf rnnst.lv

wonderful determination of the order
in the recent strikes of the North and
J West shows their power. The mem,
bership is rapidly increasing, and it
! seems simply a matter of time until
: the entire laboring class of the country
will bo included in their ranks. When
this is accomplished a strike of the
j order will mean a great deal more

LETTER FROM C.-aFT. M'MEEKIX.
i Messrs. Editors: In an editorial
i contained in your issue of the 17th
; inst., the truth of the observation that
! that there is a general depression of
| business throughout the country, is
I too seriously felt to be doubted. Hard
: times never fail to make us grumble,
| but I can scarcely subscribe to your
: affirmation, that we farmers ascribe
j this condition to an "oligarchy of lawj
vers"; but to a multiplicity of causes
i rather; among them I may hazard the
mention of adverse seasons; the tuonj
ctary policy of the Federal governiinent;
ths concentration of capital in
the hands of too few individuals, etc.,
etc.; but not, I think, to the "oligarchy",
nor, so far as I am advised, tw
any shortcomings of our State governuieut.
I note your objections to
j statements of facts contained in my
i letter, to which yon refer as an open
J lviter, but which was in fact a private
; letter addressed to Major Woodward.
They indV not l>6 strictly uccuratc. As
is usual in each correspondence, and
particularly when the communication

| I have not at hand the journals of the

i however, that they will confirm the
j statement: that tne House judiciary
5 com mi tee wsts composed exclusively
i of Isiw>ers. and thai ihe chairmen of
the co i rniiu-o.- on railroads, education
a!:d ways :uid means were lawyers.
These are vn-v important committees.
Tin* judiciary, as yon arc aware, has
! initiatory :sction on the greater part of
. the bills proposing gei e al legislation,
- and its report on them, wilh or wiili.
out approval, is usually lile or death,
respective!}, to them. I do not mention
this to complain at it. The elimi
nation of the unnecessary and the
worthless from I he great mass of bills
rushed in bv members from every part
of the State is proper and even required,
when it is considered what a
number of them is presented during
. the short legislative sessions; but-the
committee that does this hold the leverage
of the legislative machinery, to
: say nothing as to the advaniange its
members hsivo over others, in having
already discussed iu the commitim,
tiie iHerits or otherwise of bills that
come up for consideration by the
House. I do not charge, and have not
:. charged, that th s committee has ever
taken advantage of its position to
> secure legislation exclusively for the
lawyers' benefit, nor do 1 charge that
our government has been improperly
administered; on the contrary. I say,
as you admit, that I am not aware of
any charge of corruption or maladministration
that can be made against it,
but that there is a complaint, viz., that
we are go-erncd by an oligarchy of
lawyers. I admit that they are able
a Hi honest and give us a good government,
but this only augments the danger
of the perpetuation of the oligarchy.
A careful perusal of of your article
has failed to show me wherein I err.
It. will of course be admitted that this
oligarchy exists by the tolerance of the
farmers, hence also that they are in
a certain way responsible for the legislation
since 1876?a responsibility,
however, not hard to be borne whether
t *1. . r- 1 1 .
oy me iarnier or uy uic ji*?v vei , l>ul
for the tolerance of the oligarchy, I
submit, the farmers are gravely censurable:
1. Because they submit to
deposition, by a minority, from their
rightful position withou' relief from
the responsibilities imposed by it. 2.
: Because continued acquiescence in this
inferior po>i;ion will lower the standard
of patriotism and of the manly j
virtues. It is manifest they can only j
: rehabilitate themselves by taking tne
position for which they are, and rightly
should be, held responsible. If this is :
antagonism to other classes, it is, at j
any rale, only the legal and just antagonism
such as is exerted by tho-e
that sue out warrants of ejectments
against intruders on their premises.
You ask what great power the
Speaker of the House has vested in !
him that makes him a dictator of itv j
This question suggests the inference
that I have made a charge of this
nature, i think a perusal of my let-1
ter will not support it. However, the
Speaker does wield a very a very con-,
siderable power. He appoints the
comini1.tees. He makes almost innumerable
rulings. With party feeling
ruiiuinv hiiih a partisan Speaker exercise*
(lowers lo be dreaded, as e. g.
tbe Republican Speakers, Blaine and
Keifer. Of Mr. Speaker Simons, let
nit? sav he disnlavs as Dresidin<r officer
(not referring to the appointment of |
jommittees, and in this I suspect he
on I v follows custom,) impartiality,
ability and urbanity. lie is, I imagine,
us near an approach to a typical
Speaker as we are likely ever to have,
atid yet I have enough of the iconoclast
in me, in this contingency, ignor-1
ing vHicicncv and consulting only the j
fitne? of things to desire the farmers i
to place one of their own number in j
the c air he now occupies. It is true ;
the lawyers arc Democrats as well as i
farmers, but the latter, constituting
the great mass of the party, should
hold the positions that will enable
them to control its actions, since the/
are justly held responsible for them.
This does 110 iimisticc to the minor
factors of the party. Their cxclu>ion
from office is not proposed. The sense
of justice of the farmers and their
admiration of talent may be relied on
as agents to prompt them to bestow,
in the distribution of offices, more
than a pro rata share on the members
of other occupations and professions.
After a careful examination of your
criticism of my suggestion that an
interpretation of law by the courts
should, in every instance, when the
interpretation modifies the meaning of
the law, be referred to the Legislature
for its action before such modification
of meaning should have the force of
I - * i . i
law, ltoccnrs to me you ao not apprehend
my meaning. To explain its
operation I will uee your illustration.
An Act, admitting of two entirely
different constructions, comes, in the
manner s-tatcd by you, before the court
for construc'iou. It will be it* entire
consonance with the scheme I propose,
for the court to construe and administer
i he law as heretofore. The ca^e,
to follow your illustration, ie carried
to thft Snnreine Court, and here atrain
the plan interposes no obstacle to the
proceedings of this Court, but at this
point it begins to act. This Court, we
will suppose, defines the law and relieves
it of iis ambiguity, and of course
modifies its meaning. The plan then
requires this modification of meaning
to be confirmed by the Legislature;
before it can be quoted as the law in
any subsequent court. Constructions
by the courts, when not modifying the
meaning of laws, would require no
legislative action. Many questions of
detail come up at this point; such as,
Who will determine that the meaning
of a law has been modified? Whose
duty will it be to advise the Legislature
of modification? etc., which are
passed by as foreign to my present
purpose. The great object ot the
flinmo ie 111-yf- tn rlon vivO t hp Oft fll* ts of
the privilege, perhaps it would be
more correct to say unavoidable duty,
of construing the laws and administering
them as they have always done,
but of the cxercifce Jof the legislative
function. I entertain the highest respect
for onr Judges as men of ability,
righteous judgment and spotless character;
but I aun persuaded that legislative
powers should be wielded only by
the Legislature. It would also effect
this good result: Anyone could in
term iiimseit oi trie tan- oy inereiv
con>ultingthe Statute, and not as now
have to roam through heaps of tomes
| in search of opinions by distinguished
jurists only ailast to find his confusion
worse confounded.
Your objection that the personnel of
the Legislature is changed by every
election appears to me" to have no
force. The more change of the members
of that b xly does not in the
slightest degiee affect its authority to
make laws. A bodv composed entire
ly of new members could as effectually
give or refuse confirmation of the
modification o^sfcpfr by the court, as
the boclv its?j*f that enacted the law.
Of co,iw^T^ou know this as well as or
-tJtTttcr than I, and I am surprised that
you made such a blunder.
Referring to my postscript, in which
I disclaim any desire that the farmers
would arra> themselves against other j
classes, you affirm that I have made
the issue by saying the State is ruled
by an oligarchy of law} crs. To point
out your error, it is only necessary to j
state that that opinion, when I wrote it,
was entertained, so far as I know,
only by myself. It has since, as you
know, been endorsed by Major Woodward.
The farmers as a body have as
vet made no sign. I am, perhaps, less
informed of their views concerning it
than yourself. It is therefore conferring
too much honor on my poor
effusion to say it has ni<ide the issue.
I believe, however, that the farmers
owe ii to themselves,' since they are
held, and justly held responsible for
the course of public affairs in this
State, while antagonizing no other
class, nevertheless to indulge seItassertion
to the point, as I have said
oerore, ot liiKiug enou^u *>i mo jjuuu^
positions to enable them to control the
current of events.
Finally I will just add by way of
rejoinder to your remark that I " ee an
imaginary cause of the depression in
the fact that lawyers have been elected
by agricultural constituencies, that no
one of that constituency has more
uniformly cast his vote for some member
of the legal fraternity at the recurring
elections than myself.
