THE ROBERTS CASE.
Views or Both Side* lu tlie Matter of
the I'lnb Hlifiimist.
Washinjfton, Jan. 20.?The reports of th*
special committee of investigation in the
cas3 of Brighaai H. Roberts, of Utah, were I
presented to the house to-day. The tnajurlty
report, signed by Chairman Taylor aud six of
bis associates Is a voluminous document and
is accompanied by a summary of the law and
facts. It gives the details of the hearings,
the ample opportunities alfjrded to Mr. Roberts
to present his case, his refusal to testify
and the unanimous finding of facls, heretofore
published. It proceed*:
"Thecommittee is unanimous In its belief
that Mr. Roberts ought not to remain a member
of the bouse oi representatives. A mxjor
ity are of the opinion that he ought not to be
Eermltted to become a member; thnt the
ouse has the right to exclude hiiu. A minority
are of the opinion that the proper
course of proceedure is to permit him to be
sworn id anu meu "cci ?* n>u-ninuo
vote under tbe constitutional provision providing
for expulsion.
"Your committee desire to assert with the
utmost posltlveness at this point that not
only is (be proposition of expulsion as applied
to this case against precedent but that
exclusion Is entirely in accord with principle,
authority and legislative precedent, and not
antagonistic to any legislative action which
tbe house of representatives has ever taken.
"For convenience we prenent herewith, before
proceeding to exteuded argument in support
of the committee's resolution, tbe following
summary :
"Upon upon facts stated the majority of tbe
committee assert that the claimant ought not
to be permitted to take a seat in tbe bouse of
representatives and that the seal to which be
was elected ought to be declared vacant.
"Tbe minority on the other band, assert
tbat be ought to be sworn in in order that
f If happily two thirds vote therefor, he may
be expelled.
"Tbree distinct grounds for disqualification
are asserted against Roberts
"1. By reason of bis violation of the Edmunds
law.
"2. By reason of bis notorious and defiant
violation of tbe law of tbe lv\nd, of tbe decisions
of tbe supreme court, and of tbe proclamations
of tbe presidents, holding blmsell
above tbe law and not amenable to ft.
"No government oould possibly exist In tbe
lace oi such practices. He is In open war
against tbe laws and Institutions of the country
whose congress be seeks to enter. 8uob
an Idea Is intolerable It Is npon tbe principle
asserted in this ground that all cases or
exclusion have been based. v
"3. His election as representative'^ exonH
nffanoioa vlnlollnn nf Ih'jfMrirlnr
standing by wbiotT Utah" was ad naif as A
After further argument* on the>eypHI the
committee continues: vMM&l.
"Tbe interesting proposition is ma&jrtbal
tbe claimant be sworn in andVjS&jBLlncned
oat. Upon tbe theory tbattrcpsxflml Is to
permanently part company Wttn3HHbberls
this is a dubious proceeding 8aoh.fW?n requires
tbe vote or two-thirds of lMiMBbers
We ask If such a vote is posaihlt^Kwbt in
view of the following obaervitjU^^MF^
"Tbe expulsion clause of tbftjflHutatlon Is
-- " 'Each house may determ^a|3j? rules ol
ita proceedings, punish Its DMfHrB lor disorderly
behaviors and. with ttte concurrence
of two-tblrds, expel a member^:?
"No lawyer can read tbat provision without
raising In nls own mind tbe 4HU$ton whether
tbe house has any power u^'^jfcpel. except .
for some cause relating to thefjmpext? Tbe

After citing tbe const!tqttonad.'.fnfetfMQgiu^

"This bouse, by tuiQd^wdttffiSBHwSMmS

Tbe report concludes as follows: |
"A smalt partisan majority mlgbt^jgggg j

Hence expulsion has been' safely lertnttAb?
discretion of tbe house and the safely or tl??,

"We believe that Mr. Roberts bai tbe legal'
consMtutlonal right to be Bworn In as a (number,
but tbe facts are such that we tart&er be,
lleve the house, In the exercise of It* dlscr*
lion, Is not only justified, but required, by every
proper consideration Involved, to expel

THE LITERARY CLUB. ;
Excellent Enasy - Hospitable Entertnl
Dine lit? Pleasant Evening.
Last Friday night tbe Abbeville Literary
Club met at tbe home o> Mr. R. M Haddnn,
where a most pleasan t meeting was had. Mr
J. M. warden was presiaent, aua Mr *j. u.
Brown wae secretary, and a better president
and a belter secretary the Club never had.
The president presides at the meetings, but
the secretary has much to do in (he meet logs
\ and out ot the meetings. Under his administration
no meeting was missed during last
year.
J. Fraser Lyon, Esq., read an essay on' the
Boers and the war which they and the English
are now waging, giving much In forma
Hon in reference to a small and valorouB na
Hon of people who are filling no large a place
In the eyes of the peoples of the world.
In the discussion It developed that there
was considerable sympathy for the Boers,
but we believe there was no enmity for the
British. A majority were uoquailfledly in
favor of England, without reference to the
merit of the contest.
The Club was handsomely entertained, and
all eDjo.ved the good eheer Inside, notwithstanding
the glooru outside which threatened
rain.

Belter Than Gold Mines.
Greenwood Journal.
Mr. J. L. Stillwell. president ol the oil mill
at McCormlck, was in town this week. He
says tbelr oil mill has been running since tbe
first of the month, but that nothing would
help McCormlck more than a cotton mill.
Tbe gold mine, ifitsbould develop rich again,
would do that town little good, fn Mr. Stillwell's
opinion, but a cotton mill would bring
people and money to tbe place to stay, while
the few miners would have little money to
spend there and tbe gold would be taken
away.
McCormlck is In a good section of country,
where wood is abundant and cheap, selling at
one dollar a cord delivered. Tbe Charleston
and Western Carolina and tbe Savannah
Valley railroads make a Junction at McCormlck,giving
ample facilities for transportation
to tbe North ana to tbe Seaboard.
A day of progress and substantial prosperity
would d?wn on McCormlck if the suggestion
of Mr. Stillwell could taKe root in that
own, and there is no good reason why her
eople should not look after tbelr Interest In
his respect and to do something towards in
IllDE in in meu wua uiuuey lu iuuvuruiiua,
ad let thera see also that the town has faith
n itself by making Investments to looking to
be establishment of snob Industries within
(8 domain. People must move themselves,
f they would have their neighbors have hope
if their doing any good, and, we repeat,
McCormick can do belter than she has done
If a few of her live citizens will put on some
motive power to move her forward.
