WAVING THE GLOOST SHUT. WISE OF VIRGINIA AND BOUTELLE OF MAINE. An Kxeiting Debate in the llousr in whieh the Republican* net More than they Bargained For. Washington Jan. 22?IIovsk: Herbert, of Alabama, from the committee on nnvsil affairs, reported back Hontelle's resolution callins on tlif secretary of the navy for information relative toallc;;ed erasures of certain inscriptions nt the Norfolk navy yard, with amendment extending the inquiring into dismissals made at the navy yard and light house district at Norfolk during the terms of the immediate predecessors of the present secretary of the navy. Herbert, in stating that the resolution was substantially the same as that originally offered by Houtelle, except that it was somewhat broader, demanded the previous question. The republicans resisted this, but on a division were out-voted S7 to 84. Tellers were ordered, the body of republicans refrained from votintr and upon the announcement of the result. Ill to 7, Perkins, of Kansas, raised The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S.C. Wednesday, Jan. 27, 1886. The Narrow Ctnugr. No friend of the new narrow gauge need be nlarmed by the contest in Cokesbury. The best and soundest legal advice obtainable is that there is nothing in the law uuder which the township elections are to be held requiring the production of registration certificates I by voters. The election in Abbeville village | to which the Press and Banner referred in the J airtiele recently republished in the Sexes, was regulated by the town charter which requires [ ?it voters in the town to be registered in a| book kept for the purpose. In the township elections in Anderson and Abbeville, some of which have gone before j the Courts aud been sustained, voters were not required to produce their certificates. The charter under which the elections for suuscriptions to the narrow gauge are held Kives ample security to property by requiring that the elections shall be ordered only utter the majority <?f the real estate owners have asked for them. the people go to the polls and vote for the peopled railroad, to be built by and for the people and to be managed in their interest, free of syndicates, monopolies and outside influences. Itonotlet anybody trouble you fey talk of registration certificates. Carry yo?r certificate with you, if you have it, toremove-aJI passible objections and prevent any talk* If you have none, go anyhow. Your vote will be counted. The attempt to lug soniethinir into ttic law that is not in it is foolishness.?Greenville Xewx, 24th. since the elections are over, we presume it is Dot amiss iu us to exchange a word or two with our;rood friend of the Greenville yews, after he assumes to speak of the legal status of the contest. The Sews speaks of the "best and soundest legal advice" in Greenville, and thinks there is nothing to alarm the friends of the road. Admitting that the election was regular there Is a constitutional question involved in the voting of five per cent, in twenty year bonds on the township. By a recent amendment to the constitution no corporation, township or county, is allowed to vote a debt of more than oicht. ner rpnL Five oer cent, iu twenty year " 'O--* - ? * - - - bonds, including the interest on them, principal and interest, makcau amount in excess of the amount allowed by the Constitution of the State. How wilLthe Netcs getover this difficulty, unless he does like our Legislators and overrides that trifling document? Hut admitting that the election was regular> Recording to law. and that the constitutional amendment is not in the way, there is yet a lion in the path. In the able dissenting opinion of Judge Mctiowan in the case of the istate against Chamblee, he shows most clear- j ly that at least one member of the Supreme Court believes that railroad uxes are uncon-) stltutional. | The contestants in theCokesbury township will carry this case to the Supreme Courtou the unconstitutionality of the law authorizing the election?being the first case of the kind which has been brought squarely before the Court. When It is known that sixteen of the States oftheUnion havedeclared that rail road taxes are unconstitutional, and when it is known that at least one member of the Supreme Court of our own State Is opposed to this monstrous act of railroad corporators seizing the! property of private citizens for their own use and benefit, there is at least a reasonable I ground upon which to base a hope that there! Is virtue enough in our Court to stand be-1 tween the defenceless citizen and the railroad corporations which will be compelled to | *tand back and keep their hands off his prop-! erty. The opponents of this tax, we believe, are J In earnest We further believe that the day | ic r>r?t rtutnnt. whoti t.hp most enthusiastic! railroad builder will thank their neighbors Jbr saving theni from so great a calamity as twenty year bonds. Figures* that Mislead. The JVeuv and Courier has published a statement of the wonderful growth of .South Carolina within the last five years, and produced 1 the figures to show that the wealth of the Xtatc has increased 000,000 within that time. The array of figures is formidable, aud the items are named which go to make up this immense sum, but for all that, the figures nre misleading. While the investments of which the yew9 and Courier speaks is correct. It is not correct to set down these Investments as so much growth, any more than It would be to say that the gross sales of a merchant were clear profits. For Instance, the News and Cmtricr 6ets down several thousands of growth at Abbeville in the mention of the *team mills and gins at this place. The facts are, we believe, that neither of the investers iii this kind of property could realize the cost, of their outlay, and it is also a fact that nei-l ther of the owners of these establisbmentsare | much richer than they were before they made i this ^Investment. These gentlemen only changed their investment or used ready cash -or went in debt. The actual growth of the wealth of the State may be ascertained nt the Comptroller General's office, and we believe no marked iucrease of the property of the .State has been noted there. TJie Great Ferguson Cane. The term of the Court of Sessions at Abbeville will begin to-morrow week. The most important case on the docket is that of Fer-I guson. charged with the murder of Kenedict. Ferguison has been tried twice, the resul t being a ctisirial in both instances. The State has now given notice that it. w'H move for a change of venue. The grounds for it will probably be an allegation that the excitement over the case in Abbeville county and the two trials have caused such general discussion that it |s difficult or impossible to obtain a good Jury of men who have not formed an opinion. There is a general impression that the State cannot move for change of venue, but It is erroneous. There is goi?d precedent lor the granting of such a motion.? Greenville Aeu* 24th. Our neighbor may be right in saying that inere is preeeaeni jor me nutm uniKiug hjjjjucation to change the venne, but it is quite likely there is ample precedent for the refusal -of such motion. In He Ashamed of HI* Teachers? We see by the Newberry Herald and News that the County School Commissioner desires to keep the names of the teachers, to whom certificates have been awarded, out of the newspapers. While it is none of our business, we are constrained to ask the reason for this public officer's strange proceeding in withholding his official acts. Has certificates been denied to some who should have had them? Has partiality been shown in any way? Or, is the School Commissioner ashamed of the lot ? It seems strange to one at this . .distance that any public officer should withhold the light from his official act*, unless it be based on a contempt for the people whose money pays the expense. New Type. The Greenville News is now printed on new type, and the improvement otherwise is un. -doubted. It now prints head lines to many of its articles. The News is always fully alive to everything in the newspaper world. Brother Williams edits on the intensive system and puts a little of everything in his paper. "It humble* a man wonderfully to be an editor of a Conference organ for a few years."? Ralciah Christian Advocate. We' rejoice to learn that Brother Held Ik growing in the grace of Christian humility.? SouUiern Christian Advocate. We do not pretend to discuss the subjects 01 -"humility" or "growth in grace," but we can testify that if a man wants to get all self-conceit knocked out of him, he has only to try to .edit a county paper. The Sorrow Gauge. ^Mr. Goodrich, the canvasser for the narrow jgauge railroad, is still In the field and the last j-epurt from him is that he had $39,000 ou his ^jUbKcrlption Ust.?Edgefield. Chronicle. The Pickens Sentinel is responsible for the assertion thut there is a girl in Pickens so inaKnelie that the stove pans stick to her Jtunds. Kaster Sunday will fall this year on the 25th of April, later lu the year than it has been for several years. , the point of order that no quorum had voted. "It is evident then," sold Herbert, "thnt the gentlemen do not want their own interrogations answered. I withdraw the report." (.Applause on the democratic side.] The speaker held that as the report was made to the house by order of ttie committee, it could not be withdrawn without leave of the house. [Applause on the republican side.] A call of the house disclosed the presence of 2M members, there being hut 29 absentees, and, on motion of Herbert, the resolution wns adopted directing the sereeant-?t-arms to arrest and bring to the bur of the house such members as were absent without leave. Immediately, Reed moved that all further proceedings under the call be dispensed with. He called attention to the fact that there was an unusually full attendance of members. The sole question which now existed was a question of the liberty of debate. Herbert stated that the rules of the house prescribed a reasonable time for debate on a resolution of this character. Thirty minutes were allowed, fifteen for each side, after the previous question was ordered. It was simply a resolution ot Inquiry and there was nothing to debate until the Inquiry had been answered. Heed's motion was voted down and after a short waif, the serjeant-at-arms brought to the bar of the house Sowdon. Biggs and ltingham. After being considerably guyed by their associates, the excuses presented by these gentlemen were deemed satisfactory 1 ?1 1 fWttl-t nncliuh' At. illlll Ull-JT ?C1C IMCU-tll 2.-30, Herbert thought he had secured a quorum of the democrats and accordingly, further proceedings under the call were dispensed with. The previous questions was t hen ordered on the resolution, yeas 159; nays 91. Then was crowded into the next half hour the most exciting political debate that has been presented to the house the present session. The debate was opened by Boutelle who premised his direct spcech upon the resolution with a remark calling attention to the fact that the first legislative act of tlie house had been the passage by unanimous consent of abill removing the political disabilities of an ex-Confederate who had worked more t?han twenty years before discovering a desire to an appointment, under trio executive department of the United States. In contrast with this he (Boutelle) had been tnunt Ingly intormed that fifteen minutes of time was ati ample allowance in which to present the case of the outrageous dismissal of disabled veterans of the Union army from the employment of the govern men t and obliteration, debasement and removal of inscriptions commemorative of the success of the Union army. He trusted that these facts placed in Juxtaposition would prove more instructive to the country than any remarks he could ofier. The resolution he had introduced had related the allegation that, an officer of the United States government, at one of the navy yards of the government, had ordered the obliteration of honorable inscriptions on cannons captured by the United States government and caused to be removed from the dry dock a memorial tablet setting forth tlint tl had been destroyed by the rebels In 1.SG2 and reconstructed in 18ft!. lie did not understand that these facts had been in any way contradicted. On the contrary he found that, the Nortolk paper, whose editor was closely connected with the officer, had stated that Commandant Truxton, in place ot condemnation, was entitled to praise. The paper said that when he had taken cnarge or me ynru. hb had found inscriptions intended to keep alive the bitter memories of the civil war, and had patriotically ordered them to be removed. Boutelle then referred to the removal of the superintendent of machinery of the navy yard because of demurring to the defacement of the dry dock and the appointment of a man whose title to the position rested on his servlee in the t.'onfederate army. He considered that sufticiont reason for calling attention to the matter. He had found evidence that since the 4t h of March 1885, there had been repeated and systematic removals from oositionsin which they were p aced of officers of the government, of wounded and disabled veterans of the republic, to make place for men who had sought to destroy it. He had a list of great marble memorials crowing up all over this land to perpetuate the cause ot treason and rebellion. He had a description of a monument erected in Georgia, bearing inscriptions breathing anything but a spirit of loyalty to this government, the monument bearing on its lace evidence of a design to perpetuate the memory of the attempt on the life of the republic. A soldier who came to Washincton might wander in vain through the great art repository of this city looking for the counterfeit presentment of one of the heroes who sustained the flag of the Union, but would find that the only men .|.I<A iroro mornnpiiilljBfl iniH rumpnihi-l'pd in Corcoran art. gallery were Robert K. Lee and stonewall Jackson. These representations were not simply to keep alive the memory of tjie great war. but were representations of soldiers. Tliey were depicted in full Confederate uuiform. Two years ago, when the house was considering an appropriation of one million dollars for the New Orleans exposition, the people down there who were so anxious to have the Union memorials obliterated, were erecting a monument thirty leet I high to Robt. E. Lee, the cnlef military head of the rebellion. There wus no Justice in the claim that broad patriotism required the obliteration of the records of the e rand est, triumph ever made in humanity since first the morning stars sang together. [Applause on republican side.] 1 lie people ofthiscountry ought to say as old General I)ix said in regard to the American flag : "If any man attempts to pull down the memorial of the great triumph of the loyal people of this country, shoot him on the spot. [Prolonged applause on republican side.l Wise, of Virginia, was glau that he had an opportunity to make a statement of facts, although he had hoped that the subject of the resolution would not have been discussed until information had been received from the secretary of the navy. The gentleman from Maine, (Boutelle)on more than one occasion had souuht to revive the passions and prejudices of the war. He (Wise) would examine how much of the truth there was in the statement of ihese resolutions. The secretary of the navy was called upon to report if any tablet had been destroyed at the Norfolk navy yard, which commemorated the fact that the dry dock at Portsmouth had been destroyed. He was glad ot the opportunity to Inform the gentleman from Maine that the dry dock at Portsmouth had never been destroyed. [Applause ou the democratic side.J The gentleman asked the secretary of the navy If Inscriptions had been removed from the cannon captured from the Confederate ariny. He would Inlorm the gentleman from Maine that no cannon with such inscriptions had ever|been in Porthsmouth navy yard. (Applause on the democratic side.] The gentleman from Maine wanted to know if the Union soldier had been discharged and a Confederate put in his place. He would inform the gentleman from Maine that the man who was discharged had never been in the Union jvrnv, had never been within a thousand miles of the line of battle; had never heard the music of tninie balls. [Applause and laughter on the democratic side.] Boutelle? "Did he not render great service to his country: "No, sir," replied Wise. "He, sir, was in receipt of a large salary in a bomb proof position, while brave men fought the battles of their country." Brady, of Virginia, rose and asked permission to propound a question. "No, sir, no sir." exclaimed Wise, "I will give you my attention in one minute." "The Confederate, or one whom you (Boutelle) alleged was appointed on account of his service in the Con tederate army was appointed after competitive examination. The man to whom you refer was removed for beastly intoxication [Applauseand laughter 011 democratic side.] "One other fact I wish to coinmend to your consideration: During Mr. Arthur's administration, the postmaster at Portsmouth, who was a Union soldier, twice wounded and twice promoted for gallantry, was removed at the dictation of William Mahone." [Applause and laughter on democratic side. I "All, Mr.Speaker,"it is a good thing to raise a fuss over this, isn't it? Your leilow citizens of Maine," addressing Boutelle, are anxious to know if a Contedeiate has been appointed in the Norfolk navy yard by this administration. Have you forgotten that during the Grant administration and during the administrations of Hayes and Authur, you sent the captain of the Confederate guerri las?John S. Mosby?to represent the government of the United States in a foreign country. [Applause 011 democratic side. I Have you forgotten that Longstreet, Confederate lieutenant general, was selected by ycur republican administration for the most important, office in Georgia? Why is it, I will a*k the gentleman from Maine, that we have not heard a howl from tiiat ice hound region about these appointments. [Laughter on democratic side. J "Does the gentleman desire a reply?" inquired Boutelle. "No sir," exclamined Wise, "go rend the speech of a senator or the United States, who with all kindness, is in the estimation of the whole country a better mau than you are. Go read the speech of Chas. Sumner, of Massachusetts." "If Charles Summer knew that his ma?nnnimous suggestion would be quoted by you for such a purpose he would turn in his grave/'exclaimed Kou telle, amid much confusion. "Go," continued Wisd, "and read thespeech of Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts. If I mistake not he was the first in the country who declared some fifteen years ago that t he time had come for peace and that the bitter memories of the war should be removed; and mark the contrast between the leader of ; the federal army and the gentleman from I Maine. The last, words spoken by that great leader,on Ills dying bed at McGregor, were I that he thanked God that he closed his eyes I oil the world believing p>>nu? hud returned to I the distracted country. [Applause on democratic side.] And yet, the halls oMegistatlon 11're 10 oe annoyeu oy me oacK oiunn ui ^m-n men as the gentleman from Maine. Now Mr. Speaker, I want to say one word more to him, while we sit here and vote pensious to your soldiers.?" "Our soldiers," exclaimed Boutelle. "Yes." replied Wise, ' our soldiers, we are in tiie house ol our fathers and we have come to stay. [Applause on democratic side.] While we are ready and willing to vole pensions to honorably discharged soldiers who served their country in the time of war, we will never consent, that it shall be held and proclaimed (in high that one who happened to have been in the Confederate army is forever debarred from the service of his country. I protest that these honorable soldiers of the Union army shall never again be subjected to treatment they were subjected to under the last administration; when men who had fought bravely for the Union, under a circular hearing the names of William Mahone. as chairman, and James D. Brady, present member of this house, as secretary?" "There was no such circular," interrupted Brady. "I challenge him to produce the circular." ' When," continued Wise, not heeding the Interruption, "they were required, under the j whip of the master, to give money for partisan purposes?required, like slaves to hold their ballots up that their bosses and minions mignt see whether they voted right. Oh, what an attitude in which to place a discharged soldier of the Union?under the whip and lash of a Confederate brigadier. [Loud and continuous aptilause from the democratic side and in the galleries.l At this point the speaker brought, down his gavel and declared that Wife's time had expired. Brumm, of Pennsylvania, was immediately on his feet asking unanimous consent that Wise's time he extended, in expectation that if this was done similar courtesy would be extended to Boutelle to reply, but the democrats were wary and comprehending that. Wise had been cntotr In a most telling part of his speech and that its effect might be weakened by the addition ot further remarks, replied to the suggestion with a storm of objections. Wise took his seat and received hearty congratulations from his party friends. PAKTrtPR AKT) PEOPLE. The Methodist Preachers in Their Xew Homes. From the Southern Christian Advocate we take tlie following paragraphs, as showing the kindly l'cellngs existing between pastors and people. We learn from a private source that the llev. (j. H. Pritchard was received at Doualdsvillc in the best manner possible. Many of tlie congregation met him and his family at the depot, and escorted them to their new home, where they found the fires burning, and -a well-filled larder. The minister and his wife received a nearly welcome, found a warm house, and plenty of the substantial things for the support of life. If good cheer will last a poor man half a year, what will such a reception as Mr. Pritchard received, do for the preacher? abbeville station. We have been most kindly received by our good people here. We were met at the depot on our arrival and driven at once to the parsonage, where we found comfortable provision made for us?-ood fires, a sumptuous dinner and something to go on tor several days. The new pastor is beginning to adjust himself to his changed circumstances, and is entering with hope and cheerfulness upon the work divinely committed to his hands. Presiding Elder Smart gave the first Sunday of the new year to Abbeville station.and preached twoexceilent sermons to appreciativecongregations. The station provided for the prompt payment of one-rourth of its Foreign Mission assessment. The first number of Advocate? new series?comes to hand, full of good things from Editor and others, and full of promise. May our Heavenly Father bless the Advw-ate and its Editor! Thanks for your kind notice of your predecessor on his exit. 8. A. wkbek. ninety-six cikcuit. I met my first appointment, lor the now year Ia:<t Sunday, Had very encouraging congregations, notwithstanding the bad weather, both at Salem and Ninety-Six. On Wednesday last I gathered my little family together, and we?leaving Bro. Dagnall and family In charge of the Cokcsbury circuit and circuit parsonage?bade adieu to Cokcsbury, sileitly praying God's blessing upon the town and circuit. I was encouraged on leaving by kind services rendered, and especially by having a bill placed in my hand by a young man not a member of the Methodist church, who said, "to hilp make up shortage." The Lord, through his agents, has made up all shortage. Mr. G. W. Connor's turnout got. us to the depot, in good time and much comfort, considering the sharp wind; and Mr. llowlelt's kindness provided a j:ood fire to keep the wife and bnbles warm while we waited tor the train. The train came, and we were off tor Ninety-Six. In a few minutes the conductor said, "NinetySix, twenty minutes for dinner." We took more than twenty minutes for dinner, and it is well we did; for we could never have done justice to the dinner we found at the parsonage in that time?iu fact we havn't eaten it all yet. Well, the good people Just met us with sympathy and much kindness, and it looked as if they were conscious of the fact that they were only discharginga religious duty as unto the Lord. They made no luss about what they did. and we will make none; we will Just say that we are as comfortable to-night as Hro. G. M. Boyd or hro. Traywlck can possibly be, notwithstanding the "cold wave with the blizzard accompaniment" has reached us. "We thank God and take courage." Allow me to congratulate you on your first Issue of the Advocate, which I have Just received and read. If you do any better when .vou get the "hang of the house," I will try to get subscribers for you. God bless you and the Advocate. W. P. Mkadoiis. Weight* unci McuHureN.

No lady evershouid refuse the arm of Monsieur brave, To do otherwise, he'd recognize as insult very grave. While en route for tho dlnlng-hall, No lailv culled well-bred Will stop, or besluite at nil; But, with well fnraitiired tread, Will observe the strictest order, nor let any pass before. Both in going from tbe potior, and returning to Its door. A card should indicate your scat; But if you And it not, Await with'manner most discreet Till Mnduin casts your lot; Then place yourself behind the cbair Madame has signified, Ami wait her signal to sit down with presence dignified. The men should wait until thev see The dames their nnpkinm hold, Then, spread them deftly on tbe knee, And do not quite unfold. Be nnt t<>o near the utile, ami of the opposite heware; 6it upright with graceful air; leuu not back upon your chair. 1Tls called uncouth to cut one's bread; It should broken bo; Upon the plate it should be spread And eaten leisurely.

Avoid all noise with knife, fork, plate, and use your jaws with skill. Eat with the left hand, cut with the right, Handle not any bone*. Onou should not laugh ('tis ill-bred quite) While speaking in low tones. Be affable to other guests as much as in you lies, Be attentive when your hostess tho signal gives to rise A part of your evening Is due The house where you have dined ; 80 after dinner, hours two Are given to fi-ast of mind. Then say good-bye. Within a week your hosts a visit pay Their feast to praise, and of their guests the kindest things to say. And courtesy requires that you An ample dinner give Within the month that does ensue; Unless It be you live A bachelor, a widow lorn, or lady still unwed, Or fortune's fickle favors are not round your pathway shed. The Alleged Elocutionist. Mr.Robert Ailnms, elocutionist, ptive a rending in the Court room lust WeilncMdiiy night. iiniin n nil 111 hor nf inir r?ll l?>nii wi>ro nn?s**nt. and nmoni:others a bench lull of little boys In front, who pave abundant evidence of their high appreciation of his readings. The elocutionist occupied the Judge's stand, while the great space between him and the railing was unoccupied. This put even the nenrest auditors ut a great distance from the reader, whose tone of voice was not hlish, and whose artlculation'was not clear?to some of us, at le;iot. The elocutionist must have been delighted with the noise which the boys made, for at the conclusion of his readiug, lie announced that he would read again the next, night, with an entire change of programme. lie also said that he would give all a chance to come, and said the price of tickets for the second reading would he reduced to 25 cents for grown people, and to ir> cents for children, including in this lower price, all the pupils of any of the schools. This Information was received without anv special demonstration on the part of the audience. The audience on Thursday night was evidently much smaller than the speaker expected, and there was a notable absence of any dispute or contention about reserved seats. The audience consisting of two printer's devils, (Mr. Tompkins Mabry and Mr. Wesley Norrcll). and perhaps one or two others. who either ha<l, or expected, free tickets ol admission, were not hard to please in the matter of seats,and they arranged this important question among themselves without the Intervention of either an umpire or a police ollleer. After a reasonable waiting one of the little boys began to entertain fears that the reading would not take placo, and in a very modest way went forward and asked the elocutionist if he was going to have tne show. This seemed to excite ttie alleged elocutionist, who replied to the little boy: "How in the hell do you expect me to show without au audience?" The modest little boy wilted, and has not yet answered the question. The elocutionist then announced a postponement of the reading which was to Imve been "with nn entire change of programme." The audience then adjourned.and the lights were blown out. Every thinu passed off pleasantly. Nothing occurred to mar the peace, good order, und harmony of the occasion. Those i'alH.
