SXjjjMr J THE REPUBLICANS MOVKG. MEETING OF THEIR LEADIXG LIGHTS IX COLUMBIA. A State Convention Called?Plans for Gathering the Faithfal into the Fold?Brayton'* Brilliant Scheme. (From the Columbia Daily Becord, March G.) A meeting was held this afternoon that a few years ago would have fraught with great interest to the people of South Carolina. . It was no less or no more a thing than the meeting of the State Executive Committee of the Republican Party of South Carolina. The morning trains brought in a number of somewhat mysterious, but familiar locking personage whose coming was unexpected to the common, everyday, ordinary, casual man. about town. A "Rrr.n-RT> rer^orter soon scented music in the air, and casting about for the organ and its performers discovered them in the office in of Mr. E M. Bray ton, in the Central Bank st building, -jamais clausis and not even a key hole to crawl through or a loquacious ser- a geant-at-arms to "pump." m ' By dint of asiduous inquiring and the assumption of an innocent air, which he carries -with him for such occasions, the ^ reporter obtained a few pointers and is enabled to state "what was done up to the time of going to press. a THE PEItSOXXEL OF THE PABTT. S The "make up" of the committee was very striking, there being present some of ^ the most noted Republicans in the State? men whose names have been bruited about in more or less pleasant or unpleasant man- * ner. The meeting was presented over by 81 Mr. E. M. Brayton, and Mr. John A. Barre was in the secretary's chair. In the fol- I lowing list there will be recognized the ii leading Kepubiicans ot boutn uaronna: e E. M. Brayton, W. J. Whipper, W. D. Crum, T. B. Johnston, W. F. Myers, E. a A. Webster, S. W.

THE CONVENTION TO BE IN MAY. I The meeting was called to order at 1 o'clock and "ome time was consumed in , the organisation of the committee and the ^ proper accrediting of the delegates. After \ some discussion it was decided to hold the ? State Convention on the first Tuesday in May.

The members will leave the city this afternoon. t SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MEETING. 1 It is impossible just now to draw any e conclusion touching the purpose of the a Republicans, as indicated by their starting their organization at this time. Manifestly ?t they have no hope of carrying the State, r eitherjin the national or the local fight But r this weakness of their party does not impair their standing in the National Conven- f tion. South Carolina will have fourteen votes in that Convention, notwithstanding * her fourteen electoral votes will assuredly be cast for Cleveland. Then,.again, if by some mischance the Republicans should elect their President the leaders in South f Carolina will come in for a sliare or tiie ~ loaves and fishes. The corpse is not a lively one. 5 (From the Colombia Daily Eecord, March 7.) c Before the appearance of The Record ^ on the streets yesterday afternoon few persons were aware that the former lights of the old Republican party had held a wake . in this city over the political cadaver and * had chanted the resurrection appeal. The 7 thinness of the corpse had not enabled it to . cast its shadow before, and the party leaders I. came unheralded. ? In addition to the account given yesterday some other facts gained after the meet- t ing will be of interest as indicating the why f and wherefore of the rally, the present 1 political purposes of the party and their in- j <5 tentions as brought out yesterday. ) 5 BRAYTOS OX BALLOTS. I J The committee devoted considerable time j to the discussion of a bill pre oared bv Mr. | f Bray ton on the suggestion of Senator W-il- s liam E. Chandler, to regulate Federal elec- -v tions in South Carolina. The proposed ? bill is an efiort to repeal the election laws a of the State so far as they relate to Federal -x olfices and place the machinery in the con- r trol of Congress. This bill is accompanied y by a letter from Mr. Brayton charging the s Democracy of the State with having vir i tualiy disfranchised the negro. Among its 0 provisions are the following: That the new registration shall be made in the months of July and August, of 1SSS, and thereafter in the same months in the year of each successive general election for ^Representatives in Congress. That voters shall not be required to have or produce any certificate of registration as a prerequisite or qualification to the right of suffrage. That the registration records shall he public and the list of voters published in a rwr?r*4-ir v^tr-e-na of +"ho ivmntrr'e WUUVJ uv> n wv wuv vvvia?vj -? v**j/v*wv? That a change of residence within the county shall not defeat the right of -an elector to vote for Representatives in Congress. That four commissioners of election shall be appointed by the Governor, two from each of the two principal political parties, these commissioners to appoint four man- ? agers at each election precinct, also equally c divided between the two parties. That the ballots be marked or stamped by the managers, and only such shall be P legal votes. d It is further provided that imprisonment J. for non payment of poll tax shall, not in- * elude Congressional election day, and that 1 "all Acts or parts of Acts of the United States and of the State of South Carolina S) inconsistent witn tnis Act De mereoy repealed, annulled and declared of no effect." u The committee arranged to bring this 5 matter prominently before the party all ^ over the State and to agitate it elsewhere as 0 much as possible. ^ "HAXDS ALL BOOD." The menu included a thorough party , reconciliation. The differences of 1SS4 between Messrs. Brayton and Taft, touching ^ the State chairmanship, were healed by ? unanimous consent and it was resolved that henceforth they should join forces and that a the organization, or what is left of it, should 11 be solid against the Democrats. P WILL MAKE SO STATE TICKET. While the committee took no action as xr. to running a State ticket it is evident that re they are not in favor of such a course, re The party-will confine itself to the fight er ? for the electoral ticket, to one or two Con- T grtsxuuu&i auu a icn wunuea it where the heavy negro majority holds out es some promise of success. si THE STATE CONVENTION, Jl As before reported, will be held on the 0( first of May, and the delegates thereto will be chosen by the county conventions some g. time during this month. A denunciation ^ of tiie present State election laws will be a ^ prominent feature of these conventions. tu SHERMAN THEIR FRIEND AND CHOICE. o The committee expressed themselves as ^ unequivocally in favor of John Sherman for President. His vievo on the Southern qt question are regarded by them as especially m just ;o his party in this section, and they think him one their ablest men. Several ^ members of the committee have held offices under Sherman and they believe in supporting him.

IS SHE A.\ ENGLISH SPY? riie Accidental Suffocation of a Woman Lead* to a Strange Discovery. Early yesterday morning a lodger in the louse of Mrs. Annie Hollands, at No. 23 Washington place, detected the odor of ;as coming from a room occupied by a nidrile aged maiden lady named Lucy Laurie, and on summoning the lady of the iouse, the door of the room was burst >pen and the woman was found unconscious on the bed. The gas was partially ;urned on and the atmosphere of the room svas impregnated with it. An ambulance was summoned and the woman removed to St. Vincent's Hospital, where she soon revived and explained that ?he had been reading in bed, and when she had finished, reached to the gas bracket ind supposed she had turned it off. There is no suspicion of attempted suicide, and the police will not prevent her discharge from the hospital. Miss Laurie said tnat she was a stewardess oa the Marcos, one of the Havana Line steamers, but there are rumors that she is in the service of Scotland Yard, as her movements are said to he suspicious and. unexplained. She is known to have money in the Seaman's .and Bowery savings banks in this city, and has an account with Monroe & Co. in Paris. She has trunks in this city which have not been opened since 1SS5, and many more in various cities throughout the country. She claims to be well-to-do, and there is no doubt that she is well educated, for she speaks four languages.?N. Y. Star. March 9. Witt Frederick William Succeed I London*, March 8 ?The question on svery lip here is, "Will Frederick William succeed to the German throne?" It appears that according to German law*a prince who is affected with an incurable disease is ineligible to the throne, and if the Crown Prince has a cancer, as the German doctors iver, the succession may pass over to PriDce William, his son. The imperial iecree made last November, deputing the powers of regent to the latter, would seem ;o suggest such a conclusion. Persons who are closely allied to the German Embassy here assert that Bismarck ias Jong determined that Frederick Wil.iam should not reign, and it is a wellinown fact that the Iron Chancellor and ,he Crown Princess do not agree. The rrince siaes witn his wiie against uisnarck, who entertains a cordial dislike for 30th. The persistency with which the Drown Princess retained Dr. Mackenzie in attendance upon her husband has increased he friction. Nevertheless, if Frederick William is tble to reach Berlin, and his cond-'tion then Permits, he may be proclaimed Emperor n spite of Bismarck, for he has a great lold upon the affections of his countrynen.

The mandolin is the reigning fash ionable car>rice. havinsr quite superseded the banjo in the esteem of the ladies. That it should have "done so is by no means strange, for it is really a charming little instrument when at all decently played, is not very difficult to learn, and has a good deal more style and finish about it than the banjo has. However the latter may be adorned with nickel-plating, mother-of-pearl, and all sorts of gaudy ornamentation, it has a plebeian look about it and sugfests the idea of a field-hand in his unday suit The only unpleasant feature about it to the learner is the knife-blade-like sharpness of its fine wire strings. There are m o, m.* v* wire. Two pairs are wound with German silver, and are not so cruel as the others, but unwound four, hardly thicker than .horse hairs, seem to cut to the bone the finger ends that press them * down upon the frets. Of course that pain and trouble ends when each finger of the left hand is tipped with a bony, callous spot, and one must expect some such trouble in forming a close acquaintance with any stringed instrument When nature has provided that protection, the mandolin player, if an expert, can produce some very pleasing effects by producing the tones' by percussion on the strings over the frets, instead of by strumming with a bit of tortoise shell held between the thumb and forefinger of the ri?rht hand, which is the ordinary way of playing. The Spanish mandola is much like the Italian mandolin in its general features, but has important differences from it nevertheless. Its body is shallower, shaped more ]ike the bowl of a spoon than the half of an egg divided lecgthwise, which is the form -" ViolntroH in "NTn.nl ?s UI LLLO iuouuuagub wuxw * .. v?r-? and Rome; its strings are of catgut instead of steel, and its tone is not so sharp and incisive. Either mandola or mandolin, however, has a surprising volume of sound for so small a body, and dominates pleasingly the tones of a guitar, or even those of a piano. Expert players have a way of maintaining an increasing tremolando by keeping the little instrument in a constantly quivering motion while they are executing a solo, that at least looks as if it would be rather hard to effect and harder yet to continue for any length of time, but the lengthening of vibrations thus achieved prettily supplies tne lacK of a supporting instrument. The power of controlling the volume of sound in a ! crescendo or diminuendo possessed by a skillful performer is really surprising and extremely effective in rendition 01 the peculiar passionate and sensuous mnsic to which the mandolin is best adapted. While the mandolin is easy to learn, up to a certain point, it is, like all seemingly simple instruments, very difficult to develop to its highest artistic capabilities, and the Italian who hai achieved complete mastery of it not only very justly respects himself highly, but is even respected in an extraordinary Aorrroa Vitt hia pniintrvmsn. The best players axe said to come from Naples, where a native who does not at least think that he can play upon the mandolin is a curiosity. Here in New York we have not many who deservedly rank high as experts. Pro! Dominico Tipalai is regarded as a very correct and artistic performer, but in expression and delicacy of tone shading Signor F. A. Errico, who is proprietor of an Italian art and curiosity store in John street, and only an amateur mandolinist, is deemed by critics the most-finished artist here. But inferior nlavers find as much employment as they want in teaching the mandolin to the young men and women of Gotham's "upper ten," and from present indications" the instrument will be the rage when fashion returns to the town with the early frosts. A good mandolin costs from $25 to $50, and all procurable here are imported from Naples.?N. Y. Sun. The Relic Craze. rotxery remmas me 01 pnase 01 tna relic craze which presented itself to my attention the other day. A lady, who has passed the summer in Europe, sent for an artist who has done some admirable and successful decorative work, and informed him that she wished to give him a commission. She then had a servant bring in what seemed to be about half a bushel of bits of rock, cement and similar rubbish, with two or three pebbles neatly wrapped in_ paper. "These," she explained to'the astonished artist "are the relics I gathered abroad. They are all labelled and came from famous places. I worked so hard for some of them! That stone came from Salisburv Cathedral. It was inside an iron fence, and I had to attract the guide's attention to the tower by asking him the measurements of some of the ornaments. Then I stood on the foundation of the fence and leaned over?and I give you my word I was lame for weeks from those dreadful pickets!?and hit it with my parasol till I could reach through and get it. And this " Ana so she ran on, while the other sat silent in sheer -amazement, until she said: "Now, 1 want all these worked into some beautiful design; something symbolical, you know. You do make such lovelv thincs: and thev oan all be set in cement or something. These pebbles," she continued, unrolling one of the packages, "all come from Abbotsford, and these I shall" have set into stucco in the shape of a heart?for 'The Heart of Midlothian,' you know?and hang it up in the library." The unlucky designer stammered he knew not what, but something which he said probably endangered his future welfare, since* outwardly he lied and inwardly he cursed; while the lady, paying small heed to him, opened with an air of the utmost reverence a small box and took out something wrapped in tissue. "This, she said, "this should be the center, for this is the most precious of' all." She unrolled the tissna raw ?nd disclosed a fragment of coarse, modern, brown pottery, at which she gazed with a reverential air. The artist bent forward and regarded it also, endeavoring in vain to guess why it was so choice and rare. "What is that?" he managed to ask at length, divided between amusement and impatience at her foily. "That,1' she answered, "that is from Shakspeare's tomb." He stared at it and at her, more puzpled than ever. oaaKspeare s tomD."" He repeatea. "Yes," she explained with an air of restrained triumph. "When I was there a workman was doing something to the wall, and he had a big pitcher of water with him. Somehow or other it got knocked down, and this piece fell exactly beneath the bust of Shakspeare. Quick as a thought I put my foot over ir. and when he picked up the pieccs he didn't see this, and I secured it Did you ever know anything so lucky?"

Few people realize the advantageous commercial, agricultural, ana colonizing effects produced by the governmental improvement of rivers and harbors of the United States, and especially of the South Atlantic and Gulf States. The rivers and creeks of the South Atlantic and Gulf States are, as a rule, streams of gentle slope, considerable length and moderate depth, obstructed mainly by sunken logs, snags, and fallen or overhanging trees. Were these latter obstructions thoroughly removed (usually readily done at a comparatively small cost) these rivers and creeks would at once appear in theii true role of natural and economical navi gable waterways, similar to and rivaling the artificial and more expensive canals o1 the "NTorthern and Middle States. As sooi as one of these streams is opened to com merce, the reduction in freight charges i.' so considerable as to encourage the rapic development of such towns as are already in existence along its length; and the cer tainty and cheapness of its freighting anc traveling facilities authorizeJhe establish ment of continuous and extended settle ments all along its banks over large area of good land, until then so deprived o: transportation facilities that the sale o. tarm products would not even pay the ex penses of their transport to the neares / market. More than this, the removal o: obstructions from the bed and banks of thi stream facilitates the free movement o water in the stream and aids so greatly ?< natural drainage of the river bottoms anc other adjacent lands, that land until thei malarious and sickly becomes fit for habita tion and culture. In this way, we readily see that the gov f riT7PTQ ATM giiiuicuiai luuyivf vuivuv \s*. v??. habors not only increases the existing com merce of such water ways, but improve; the drainage, culture, value and health o: the adjacsnt laLds, builds up the existing towns and encourages the settlement o: previously unoccupied lands. In no othe: way can so small an expenditure of pub!i< money produce such valuable results in thi developement of the country at large. As an example of this good work, let ii look at the results obtained in the States o: North and South Carolina during the las few years: On the Trent River, N. C., since 1879 about $42,000 has been spent in opening u] about 40 miles of river, reducing freight by from 25 to 75 per cent, rendering ma rine insurance unnecessary, and increasing the commerce by $250,000 per year tbui showing a development of $6 of annua commerce for each dollar once spent bj the Government. On the Con'.:ntnia Cresk, N. C.. sincf 1881, about $25,000 has been spent in open ing up about 30 miles of river, reducing ireigJQIS OJ iroxxi IU uv ptsr ueui. aui. building up a commerce of $400,000 pe: year, thus showing a development of $2; of annual commerce for each dollar onc< spent by the Government. Besides thii two towns on the creek bank have nearlj doubled in population and property, anc the whole river basin shows marked gain; in settlement and prosperity. On .the Pamlico and Tar Rivers, 2ST. C.; since 1876, about $56,000 has been spent ii opening up about 60 miles of river, reduc ing freights by from 12 to 25 per cent, anc increasing the commerce by $1,8000,00( per year, thus showing a development oi $30 of annual commerce for each dollai once spent by the Government. Besides this, the town of Washington, N. C., ha* increased 25 per cent, in population anc property, and the town of Greenville ha* increased from 912 population and $266,' 000 real estate in 1880 up to 2,500 popula ACAA AAA Hiiol aefotn ir> ~i >&({ fVic 01UH aiiU ^WUjWU JLUai AM avw, MAV development of both these places since 1876 being almost entirely due to the river improvements.

" j On the Cape Fear River, 2J". C., at and below Wilmington, since 1829, about < ?1,700,000 has been spent upon the im- l provement of 26 miles of river, increasing < the available draft from 7? feet in 1729 up i to 16 feet in 1886. reducing srreatlv marine freights and insurance, and increasing the ] foreign commerce by $4,500,000 per year i since 1861, thus showing a development-of ; $6 of annual foreign exports for each dol- < lar once spent by the Government during the same period. The present develop- : ment of the lower Cape Fear River means i the future development of all the State of North Carolina and of many "Western i States which will before long be forced to send their commerce by new and shorter routes via North Carolina railroads and the Cape Fear River to the ocean and foreis^i markets. On the Cape Fear River, N. C., above Wilmington, since 1881, about $ Go, 000 nas Dten spent 111 opening'up juz mnes 01 river, abolishing former tolls, reducing freights by about 33 per cent., rendering Marine insurance unnecessary, and increasing the commeree by $1,200,000 per year, thus shewing a development of $28 of annual commerce for each dollar once spent l by the Government. On the Waccamaw River, S. C., since 1880, about $37,000 has been spent in openi ingup about 70 miles of river, reducing ; freight, rendering marine insurance unne > cessary and increasing the commerce by : $1,200,000 per year, thus showing a devel opment of $30 of annual commerce for each ; dollar once spent by the government. t On the Great P<e Dee lliver, S. O., since i 1880, about $28,000 has been spent in open ing up about 200 miles of river, reducing 5 freights by from 25 to GO per cent, (the 1 freight oh cotton being now by river 75 r cents where it was formerly $1 75 by wagon and rail), and increasing the commerce by $1,600,000 per year, thus showing a development of $57 of annual commerce for each dollar once spent by the Government. Besides thi3, the neighborhood of the river : is steadily developing under the influence : of better transportation facilities. At Lock wood's Folly Inlet, K C., on Lumber River, 2T. C., Little Pee Dee River, S. C., Clark's Creek, S. C., Black Mingo' River, S. C., Alligator Creek. S. C? streams already recommended for improvement by the Government; and at George town Harbor, Winyah Bay, Santee River l outlet to Wiayah Bay through Mosquito - Creek, waterways already under improve ment by the Government, the present indi cations"are that the completion of the pres1 ent recommended improvements will give returns at least equal (if not superior) to s those of the preceding named waterways. E The speedy improvement of Winyah Bay \ means a rapid increase in the development f of tlie San tee and Pee Dee river basins comr prising two-thirds of the entire State of j South Carolina; and a single immediate z outlay of ?800,000 properly spent here would undoubtedly quickly develop . an 3 additional South Carolina commerce of f $8,000,000 per year. t On the Wateree River, S. C., since 1882, about $29,000 has been spent in opening , up 64 miles of river. Nothing but the ) obstructions offered by the S. C. R. R. and 3 the W., C. & A. R. R. bridges, (mainly the - S. C. R. R. bridge) now deprive the adjal cent fertile lands of Kershaw and Richland s counties from the free transportation*facili1 ties to which they are justly entitled; and t nothing but the obstruction offered by these bridges now prevents a development of ; rivar commerce (similar to that of the simi larly situated Great Pee Dee River) which ; wi ;1 probably amount at once' to at least 1 $500,000 per year. On the Congaree River, S. C., since 1836, > about $1,000 has been spent in fairly openi ing up 47 miles of river. Nothing but the 5 obstructions offered by the S. C. R. R. r bridge now deprives the city of Columbia, I S. C., and adjacent river valley of a free 3 water communication with the ocean ports of Georgetown and Charleston; and nothing , but the obstructions offered by this bridge i now prevents a development of river com merce (similar to that of the similarly sitl uated Great Pee Dee River) which will ) probably amount at once to over $1,000,000 [ per year. : Although the above improvements have > already produced such good results in the j development of the country, these improyel ments are today not more than half com: > pleted; and therf is every indication that further improvement will be accompanied by equally good results until the cost of ! "such improvement shall amount to fully i double what has been already spent by the general government. W. H. Bixby, Captain of Engineers, Tj. S. Army.

He died in a short time. Young was deaf, and did not hear the whistle, Hon.

Dobbins, a stylishly attired rou.ng.man,-.residing at No. 406 Manhattan ivenue, Greenpoint, died in the Eastern District HosjTita!, Williamsburg, yesterday norning under cireumstances~of a suspi:ious character. Dobbins recently fell heir . o a legacy of $20,000 bequeathed to him ; ay his mother. The sudden and unex-. jected possession of wealth elated him to ;uch an extent that he started out on a prooil lV?A T"* Y\ rr auu gave ai: saloons a liberal share of patronage. On "Wednesday morning he visited the saloon of Fred Oppenheimer, accompanied ay two young men unknown to the proprietor. ' The trio entered a small wine room and drank whisky freely. They regained there until 1 o'clock yesterday, svhen the proprietor's attention was direct >d to the room by a strange noise, followed by loud groans. He entered the room and saw Dobbins stretched at full leDgth upon ;he floor, with blood flowing from an ugly wound on the back of his head. Ambulance Surgeon Goddard of the Eastern District Hospital was called, and in his care Dobbins remained until 2 o'clock, when he died. Dr. Goddard is of the opinion that death resulted from alcohol, while the friends of the dead man claim that he has fallen a victim to foul play. He was unconscious up to the time of his death, and the identity of his companions still remains a mystery.
