?nt Clerk otk Ibo 12th ?natani. In an elab?
rala opinion ho aaataina the validity of the
Aol of the Legielataro, and dismisses tho
appeal aa to Iba tax. He sustains the notion
of tho County Commissioners in locating tho
fonco with a view to practicability and
economy and hold? the work was done at an
economical prico-. The conclusion of the
decree is io the following words: "It is
therefore adjudged' that the complaint in the

dismissed, and tho action of tho County
Commissioners in the premises bo coull rm cd."
The Deadlock
lo the United'States Senate continues without
aoy prospect of any adjustment. Tho Sen*
ate was rotaiood after tho adjournment of
Congress specially for tho transaction of ex
coutivo business and tho Prosidont has sont
io A Dumber of ' important appointments
which await its notion.- Wo do not know
bow other States are situated, by reason of this
delay, but in South Carolina the United States
Court finds itself without a District Attorney
or Marshal, effectually blocking criminal
business of any importance. Distriot At
torney ftjartbrop has resigned and ex-Judge
Moiton been appointed in his place, and Mr.
Blythe, of Greenville, bas boon appointed
Marshal In place of R. M. Wallace, hut the
Sonate has not acted on cither appointment
and DO commissions have been issued to tho
appointees. As a cons?quence Judge Bond
bas ordered that ail tho recent election onsos
be continued to April term, 1882, except as
to such parties as live nour Columbia and de
sire to have their trial at tho Novomber term
io Columbia. A number of post office ap
pointments also hangs fire in this State and
doubtless other States aro in the samo or
a vf oreo condition. While this is tho oaso tho
Senate meetsjfrom day to day, makes speeches,
engages in personal attacks, offers dilatory
motions and filibusters without regard to tho
interests of the country. It cannot transact
any legislativo business, its work being lim
ited to confirming or rojeoting Presidential
appointments. The whole fight is over a few
Senate officers, Sorgeant at Arms, Door
Keeper, ?ko., the Republicans rofusing to go
into excoutive sossion until thoy bavo re
moved the present Democratio incumbents
and appointed in their stead Republicans,
whioh cou rao tho Democrats rc|ist and assort
is without precedent. Tho Republicans want
to disorganize and then reorganizo now in
stead of waiting till the next regular meet
ing of Congress. Wo think tho Dcmoorats
are in tho right, but as tho oleotion of Ko?
publicen officers cannot bo prevented at tho
regular session, wo hardly beliovo any
Strength: will bo gainod by tho Domoorats
from the oourso taken by thom. Them has
boon a rumor to the effoot that if tho Presi
dent finds a settlement impossible bo will oail
an extra session of Congress, whioh would
break the deadlook and giro the officers of
the Senate to the Republicans. On tho
other band it is thought hy somo that tho
matter will end by tho adjournment of tho
Senate until next Dcoombcr without acting
on the appointments. Senators Pendleton
and Bayard have spoken atlongth in justifi
cation of tho course of thc Dom o erat io mi
nority and Senators Cameron and Sherman
io reply, assorting the right of tho majority
to rule. Both parties claim to bo right nod
thore is no prospcot of an imm?diate adjust
ment. On Thursday, tho 7th, tho Sonate ad
journed over to Monday, Conkling and Ar
thur going to Now York, it is thought, to
effect, if possible, some compromiso, includ
ing tho withdrawal of Robertson. This, it
is thought, tho Prosidont will not do, but
every effort will bo m ad o to unite tho Stal
warts and Garfield Republicans, for on this
depends tho power and influence of the party.
We hope no such compromise will bo made,
for we think tho best interests of the country
would ho promoted by a split in both parties.
In ibis way only can future legislation bo di?
rooted to tho true interests of the country
and not to party supremaoy. Our Govern
ment now is one of factions. Thore is DO
effort at statesmanship, but nearly all meas
ures are adopted or rejeoted at the dictation
of party policy. Tho breaking up of this is
to be desired by every patriot and whatever
promotes a split in tho dominant party
should be encouraged.
A late dispatch from Washington indicates
that some of tho Republican Senators are
weakening and growing anxious to ave tho
deadlook broken io somo way, not however
from aoy patriotic motivos, but from a solici
tude lest its continuance will have a disas
trous effeot on tho party. Four weoks huvo
been spent in fruitless wrangling to the nog
loot of tho important interests of tho country,
for the consideration of wbioh they were
?ailed together. During this time the Presi
dent baa sont io 290 nominations, including
Judges, Consulships, Distriot Attorneyships
and post masters, only tweoty of whioh
number have been confirmed. Several
treaties await exeoutive aotion. The publie
bus!ness of the country is denied considera
tion, that the Republicans may oonoiliate
Mabono by giving soma appointment to his
friends. That snob a public calamity should
be put OD tho country for such a causo by the
Republicans nccessnrily orontes anxiety
last tho party will lore power and influence.

intendent of immigration at a salary of
$1,800 per jear. He ia 65 yeera old, a grad"
?ate of Pruiooton Ooltege, N. J., and baa
bad a gond deal of exp?rience with white
labor. We hope he may be successful io hie
work, as our State greatly needs population
in the way of laborers and reliable tenants.
If it be necessary to have an agent in Eu-,

Tbe Boatd of Directors of the Penitentiary
at thoir mooting on tho 7th instant adopted a
resolution that the superintendent be author
ised to enter in contract with A. 0. Dibert, of
Trenton, N. J., for the employment, for fifo
yours at shoemaking within the Penitentiary
of 50 men at 50 ooo ts and 50 women and boys,
if not enough, under sixteen years of age
to make up the fifty at thirty-seven cents per
day. Mr. Dibert expeots to bring on hie
machinery and get to work in three weeke.
Ho has boon engaged in tho sanio business
in New Jersey, hut will move to Columbio.
lie expects with his machinery and 100 hands
to turn out six hundred pairs of medium and
fine boots and shoes per day, and to realize
in gross about $200,000 annually. This is a
a step in the right direction, for whether we
regard the penitentiary as a reformatory in?
etitution or a place of punishment or both,
to give convicts a good trade helps in this
respect and also makes tho institution self*
sustaining. Wo hope yet to ace the day
when buggies, wagons, wooden ware of all
kinds, horso shoes, plows and other articles
now bought at the North will bo manufac
tured in our own State. By putting those
confined for lifo or long terms nt trades, thoy
become skilful workmen and Will ultimately
bring profit to tho State. In some States tho
conviota aro leased at trades for periods to tho
highest bidder.
Tho Columbia Water Power Company is
now on a solid footing, has bought out tho
Interest of Thompson & Nagle and made a
demand for tho 250 convicts granted them (or
the development of the canal. All these will
not bo wanted at once. but,if they woro,
tbore aro doubtless enough on hand with tho
number constantly increasing to moot it. Those
confined f >r one and two years could be kept
at this kind of work and railroading. It
Baves oxponso to thc State from the resulting
benefit from public improvements and mnko*
tho penitentiary a school of labor and in
dustrious habits. The numbor of escapes of
oonviots from lossoos up to tho date of thc
meeting WOB found to bo 133 and tho for

Loath of General Gary.
Our exchanges bring us information of tho
sudden death of Gen. M. W. Gary, which oc
curred at his residence in Edgcfield on April
Olh, at 2 o'clock A. M. His death was a great
shock to thc people of Edgcfield, as ho had on
tho day previous attended a municipal political
meeting and appeared to be in his usual health.
Ho was in the prime of life, being at his death
forty-six years of ago. Ho entered tho South
Carolina College in 1851 and afterwards went
to Princeton where ho graduated in 1854. Ho
was born in Cokeabury, Abbeville County, but
after his graduation read law in tho office of
Chancellor Carroll at Edgcfield and continued
to live and practico his profession there until
bis death. His military record in the Confede
rate service was brilliant. There was no
braver or more fearless officer In the service, and
none truor lo tho South in that trying period or
to his native Stato si nco the oloso of the war.
No belter evidence of tho high appreciation in
which ho was held as an officer and soldier could
be wanted than his promotion, from limo to
time, from thc .captaincy of an infantry com
pany lo thc position of major general of cavalry,
( nor of his stern patriotism and loyalty to tho
cauBe of Southern independonco than in his
being one of the last to lay down his arms after
fighting his nay through without a surrender or
parole. The reputation won by his military
career gave him a footing in tho hearts of the
peoplo and enabled him to render his State
many valuable ser??*?a. Ho soon took a pro
minent stand al mo bar, accumulated property
and exercised n wido influence. His bold de
nunciations of Chamberlain and tho corrupt
crow which were Bucking thc lifo blood of tho
State contributed largely to thc election of tho
I Dcmooratio ticket in 187C. Wherever he at
tended publlo meetings his clarion voice and
cutting sentences wero heard in behalf of his
suffering Stato and in condemnation of thc
frauds and wrongs heaped on our peoplo by a
govorumcnt of ignorant negroes, office-ser king
scalawags and plundering oarpet-baggcrs. It
was tho fearless, aggressive style of Gary and a
few others which, without violenoo or threats of
violenoo, drove the Radicals from the field of
discussion and gave us the State. His sorvlccB
in this time of our greatest need cannot and
should not be forgotten. His services in tho
campaign of 187(5 mado him ono of tho ac
knowledged leadors of tho Stato and he has
over since had much influenoo in all public
matters. Since tho war Gen. Cary had repre
sented his county in tho Legislature and Stato
Senato and on several occasions as a delegate lo
important Stato conventions, in all of which
positions he was a prominent figuro and exer
cised a controlling influence His name had
been put prominently forward as a oandidalo
for Governor and United States Senator, and
though ho did not seek these positions, yet. if
his lifo had been spared ho would in all proba
bility have been oleoted hereafter to Congress or
to tho offico of Govornor, either of whioh posi
tions ho would have graced. A number of the
leading citizens of Columbia met his remains,
in charge of a delegation of tho Edgefield bar,
at the Wilmington Junction, on their way to
Cokesbury for intermont. His death at this
limo is a public calamity, as, though not fault
less, our State con illy afford to lose suoh men
from thc watchtower of liberty.
Mrs. Gary, Gen. Gary's- mother, died on
Sunday, in tho 74th year of hor age. She
bad not hoard of the death of her son.

' Tn* CAPITOL AT WASHINGTON;
The flrat Federal Congress was held Jo the
City of New York fe 1789. A spirited con .
tost tlioo ooromonoed aa to the permanent Io?
cation of the capitol. Pennsylvania ?od
the adjoloiog States wore ia favor of
having the . capitol located in Philadelphia.
Naturally the Somborn State? were .opposed
to this. , At a,Wb?equentsession of Congress
the vexed question was again introduced.
Partisanship ran high, and, in the opinion of
many, upon its disposition seemed to hang
tho continued existence of the recently
formed Union. It was at thia junoture tbut
another quostion, involving the fioanoee of the
young republic, about which, great diversity
of opinion prevailed, and whioh also bad on?
listod warm and excited tooling, was made
the basis of a compromise between tho 'con?
tending partios.
Gen. Alex. Hamilton, of New York, Seo>
rotary of the Treasury, had recommended
the assumption by tbe Federal Government
of tho State debts. This was opposed by
Virginia and the Southern States. It was
ascertained that it required the ohaoge of two
votes to carry into offeot tho ?oanoiul project.
To accomplish this, and also settle the quea*
tion of tbe selootion of a permanent capitol,
the aid of Thomas Jefferson, then recontly
returned from Franoe and appointed Seore
tory of State, waa invoked.
The great Democrat proposed that the
aubjeot should bu talked over at a dianor, to
which Hamilton was iuvited. It was there
settled that if tho votes of Leo and White, of
Virginia, should bo changed in favor, of as?
sumption, that Hamilton and Robert Morris,
of Pennsylvania, would bring suob an indu?
enco to boar upon the question of tho locution
of the oapitol aa would insure its permanent
establishment upon tho banks of tho Poto
mao Ki vcr.
Tho bargain was faithfully kopt. Hamil
ton's financial aohemo waa adopted, and ?a
May, 17UU, Col. Pierce Butler, of South
Carolina, introduoed a bill to determino tho
permanent seat of Government nf the United
States on tho Potomac River. Thia bill bo.
carno law.
In 1788 Maryland ceded to tbe Govern -
mont ten miles square of territory tor thia
purpose. Tho City of Washington, was
then laid out, the owners of tbe land therein
oonvoyiDg their title to tho Qovoramout,
stipulating that they wero to receive so much
of tho purchaao money on a salo of the lota,
?to.
As boforo stated, a Frenchman, Maj.
L'Enfant, originated the plan of the city,
which waa adopted by GoDerul Washington.
The oapitol was to be considered the centro
nf tho oity, from it the atreete are counted
Nurth, South, East and West; several of tho
avenues also radiate from it. Tho stroeta
oroas each other at right angles. Those
running East and Weal aro called aftor tho
letters of tho Alphabet-A, B, C, D, strcots.
&o.; thone running Nurth and South, first,
second, third, streets &o. The avonues,
named aftor the diff?rant States at tho tiuie
tho city waa laid out, and a few others added
nineo, cross those street? diagonally and point
in every conceivable direction. North,
South und East oapitol streets intereeot each
other ut tho center of the capitol, and with
an imaginary lino continued West, divido
tho oity into four sections. So ibero is a
first streot East and a first etroct Wost, au A
street North and an A street South, and so
on throughout, blending regularity with har
mony, and system with beauty. Pennsylva
nia avenue is the groat thoroughfare of tho
oily and extends Northwest to tho Pre.-i
dout's Mansion, ooo mile and a hali distant.
There is no West capitol street, but io its
place aro beautiful grounds, gardons, ?bo.,
a large tract extending to tho Washington
monument on tho bank of tho Potomac,
formerly called the mall.
The capitol, liko the capitol of ancient
Romo, atonda upon a hill, commanding a
view Westward, pronounced by tho groat
traveler Humboldt ono of the moat beautiful
bis eyes had ever seen. Tho building covors
an area of nearly four acres and oust $13,
000,000. Tho old building ia built of yel
lowish eand?tono, painted white. Thc ex
tensions aro nf white marble, slightly tinged
with bluo. Tho domo ia of iron, painted
white, surmounted by tho statue of freedom,
a bronze figuro nineteen and n half feet high.
The top of tho dome is nearly four hundred
feet above tho tide waler, in comparison, it
may bo slated, that tho height of St. Petor'i
at Rome is four hundred and thirty foot and
that of St. Paul's, nt London, four hundred
and four foot.
East of tho centro portico, fronting eithei
sido, aro to bo magnificent fountains, cadi tc
oust $50,000. Costly lampa are intersperse;:
throughout tho grounds, making at night
limo, when lighted, a soono rosembliog our
idea of fairy land.
The main front of tho oapitol is East. Il
consists of a contrnl portico, ono hundred
and sixty feet wide, with a projection, in r
duding tho stops of sixty fivo foot, orna
mented with twonty four pillars and twelve
pilasters, crowned with a pediment of eightj
foot span. Tho whole front of what was tin
original capitol is 352 foot. To thia has beor
added, on eithor sido, a colonnaded corrido)
of 44 feet, to these aro attached tho ox ten
pions-that of tho Sonato on the North ant
that of tho House on tho South end. Eaob
extonsion is adorned with a portico 142 feot
with a pediment of 72 feet span, 22 oolumoi
and 12 pilasters of tho Corinthian styli
ornament tho extension porticoes. Tin
North and South fronts of tho capitol an
alike They extend 239 foot and have each r
portioo ot' 120 fest front, with a projootiot
of 10 feet, and aa ontablaturo sunportod by
10 columns. Tho West front has throe orna
mentod porticoes, the central ono a oolonadt
of 100 foot front, with 10 columns, eight o
whioh aro coupled, and a oorrospondini
numbor of pilasters. This portioo oommu
ideates with tho library of Congress. Thor
to onoh of the extensions is attached a por
tico similar in architectural details to thc
North and South porticoes, with a length o
one hundred and live feet, ornamented witt
10 columns.
