g-.'it.ag up such ;i petition as the bill t:
p - 'V..U-S among negroes. Therefore, h
tii y say it will bo only applicable to t
ti e .South. Here are the opinions of y
some leading Sontliem Democrats a
gathered to liigiit:
Vili. CANDLER. 1";
_ _ .4.'.
*I regam it is an extremely partis.'ui
measure." said Mr. Candler of ij
(leorgia. who was chairman of the
educational committee in the last ij1
Congress. "Tlie bill is plainly intended
for the South alone. Federal e
sap-vvisors and managers will only be "
appointed in the South. One will be 0
nominally a Republican: another ^
nominally a Democrat, but both will
be scoundrels who will swear any___thing
to s^et the two dollars a day.
No decent Democrat will be appointed.
The effect will be that it will ^
create a condition in theSouth similar S!
to that oi' the Reconstruction period. and
will only result in alienating theraces,
and will perfect the supremacy
of tic- white race. It the idea of surrounding
the polls with.Federal mar- s
sius of the type we usually have in t<
i< .' iTfir-,1 infn pftw-f tlipv#* h
is gi-eat danger of not anil bloodshed o
at the polls. t]
"The white people of the South. I
whether they number more than the b
blacks or not. will control." e
GENERAL CATCHIXGS. ^
"The bill." said General Catcliings ^
of Mississippi. "is designed to pre- j.,
vent negroes from voting the Demo- o
cratic ticket. The Federal supervi- ^
sors will simply be Republican spies
upon the negroes. The bill is de- ^
signed to force the negro back to the
old state of antagonism to the white ;
people prevailing in the Eeconstruction
days. Jr seems the Republicans ?
ave d; termineu to su]>ervise the con- ^
dvii t of v lie-negroes as though they _

sectioual: it will never be applied to
thv* Xortii: b;;t it will raise the big- ?
gosi or op of hell' i hrougliout the ^
South thill luis ever been heard of
It will, however, not result in chang- *
ing a single Southern district.
"They c.ii -aoi pass the Australian v
feature. for ir is not applicable to a
conn try where many of the voters *
can neither read nor write." c
JUDGE CKISP. <1
-Sn<-h legislation." said Judge 1
('lisp, of Georgia, "is vicious, be- 1
erase. if not unconstitutional, it *
tends to centralization of power in *
tiir* Federal governnient. The bill *
proceeds on the idea that the people [
and officers of the Stales are not to :
he trusted: that all purity, patriotism 1
and loyalty i> here in Congress and 1
not in the States. Practically the A
law cannot bo operative except in the c
South. It vests in the judiciary such
powers aft<\*tin;,' the legislative department
as is subversive of the dist;
action that ought to exist between r
the various departments of the gov- ;
eminent. It necessarily brings j
judges into politics, and is designed. ^
111 my opinion, to defeat and not to i
iUitlier an honest expression of the
pomilar will in the South, under the '
pretense of adopting the Austin- La*!
system, which is designed to pro- ;
tect t?ie voter from outside influence. ,
This as to illiterates. ansoiuteiy ,
dtsiroys the secrecy of the ballot,
which is essential to the independent
of the voter. The illiterate vot- ,
er.i:mhrthi-system. eaimot have his
confidential i'riend to mark and give
ticket. bat must, in the presence
of the inanii'-Tv'-rs, who represent dif- !
f.-rent political parties, publicly state ,
i'or whom he wishes to vote."
.MK. ULAXCIIAim.
"I: ito another reconstruction
era in the South." said Mr. Blancliard.
i'i' Louisiana. "There is a chance
'i it \V(>i kiii.ir the benefit of the
li. ;v,:l>iiean party in the next leelion,
but then it< evils will be clearly dem?ij:>t:"ati
<1. and will react upon them.
T;i;u porti?>n of tlit* bill providing for
in irovenuuent t>> take
of i-k* elections is clearly inl;
for the South, and the South
only."
SENATOR BERET.
"Irs passage." said Senator Berry,
of Arkansas. "will create great trouble
:n the South. A worse law 011 us
could not be passed. However,
should it pass.Ihope to see such a re
j action that we will sweep the com:try j
: in '92. It will injure the prospects of I
tlie South in every way."
GEOKGE T. EAItXES.
"The bill is intended to bo entirely !
sectional." said Mr. Banies. of Gcor-J
gia. "It places our elections in the
South entirely under the control of
the Federwl autliorities.utterly ignoring
the lights of the States. Its ultimate
object will be to deprive the j
Democrats of the election of Demo- j
eratic Representative in many South- j
ern districts, and a return of liepnb-: <
licans from them. I believe, however. : ]
it will fail in practical operation, but i
it will require more active pur j ,
ti7-;r>;\rifvn of our oeonle in Federal !
elections. I have strong Lopes the : v
bill w ill be defeated in the Senate." f 1
MR. LASS.
"It cannot be operative in the.*
North." said Mr. Lane of Illinois. -It j 1
is clearly intended for the South. It|;l
will be a great outrage upon the peo-, ^
pie of the South if passed. Howev- i
er, I doubt if it ever becomes a law. :
It is undemocratic. a step towards .
L*entralizaticn. and i*-; a direct stroke. .
it local self government."

Annie was 17 then and Jame3 J

an see there is no sufficient reason

hat the State has a right to the services
of its citizens, and some of them

out so far I have escaped the duty
md privilege of rendering services in
111 official capacity, where I was
lependcnt upon its emoluments for a

xempt from this line of duty, and
lave no doubt my fellow-citizens will i

I am not insensible, however, to the

Be assured that I will co>perate

Another Fish Story.
Xcarly a year ago Fisherman AV.
T. Van Dyke, while pursuing his occupation
offshore, invitingly threw
">ut a iishing line with two well-bated
.looks. Presently there was a jerk?
the bait had took." Van Dyke was
liauling in hand over hand, when
suddenly the tension ceased and the
line was gracefully and adroitly
whisked into the boat minus both
books. Last fall Mr. Van Dyke, in
emptying one of his ponds of its over
night catch, discovered among his
captives a 'pig* iish and a sea bass
united by a bit of fish cord, which he
readily identified as liis own. A hook
e? 1 1.
had penetrated tne jaw 01 eacn nsu.
:;nd. becoming imbedded there, the
liesii had grown around their barbs,
and thus securely fastened them in
position. Thus, held together for
nearly a twelvemonth, they had coursed
the briny in double team, held by
a single twine, till death cut their
thread of life in twain. The skeletons
of this curious pair of accidental
Siamese twins, together with the
hooks and line, which constituted
their sole domestic tie, now adorn
the walls of the fish house of ill'. Van

pressed the opinion that a majcrity
of the uninstructed delegates to the ?
March convention will vote for nomi- l

Apropos of the coming fanners" :
convention, a reporter for the Daily v
Xews learned yesterday that a, letter s
has been received from Capt. Ben a
Tillman by a gentleman in the city '
who had written to hiaireg^xling his *
candidacy for the Governorship, in *
which Captain Tillman earne-'iy 11
urged his correspondent not to allow '
his name to be presented to the con- \
vention as a candidate for (/oveinor 1
and declaring that he was j ot a can- 'L
didate. Captain Tillman v. nt on to i
state that he was conscious -:at there
were other men in the hit...;, v.he
conservatism itself made thc-'u much
better qualified for the ;; .- e thai t
himself. He declared thai ihe action \
of the Edgefield convention in non>i- 1
natmg mm uau uc-c-ii turecny his
wishes and that the mention of i
his name by the Lanrens mass meet- i
ing had been brought about by Cap- s
tain Shell entirely without his knowl- i
edge. ^ t
There have been numerous prcdic- ?
tions as to what the March conven- c
tion will do. There is one plan of i
action which has been talked of in a I
quiet way among the men most promi- :
nent in the March convention move- 1
mentand which has been received i
with the greatest favor by those who
have considered it. jso inucn mat; it is ;
not altogether guess work to say that t
the convention will in all probability. <
adopt it. There are the best of rea- <
sons for believing that the plan has 1
received the sanction of the active
workers in the convention movement i
in different sections of the State, i
Information of the scheme, of which <
nothing has been said publicly here- i
tofore. comes indirectly bat from a 1
source which stamps it with authori- <

will be with a view to securing the i

that it would overcome the strongest \

I cannot believe that farmers will,

to be the best to pursue. It
must 1)0 remembered that this has
been an unusual winter, and the
causes for failure, in the loss of meat

again in a decade. As to the obligations
for stock, farmers have found it
is unwise to incur one debt to pay
another. They will not pursue the
