R. A. THOMPSON. ?./.BMtrit. B. T. JAYHKS. BY THOMPSON, 8MVIH & J AYN HS. THURSDAY, DEO. 18, 1800. ?-!-~ ?ho Senatorial Election. Polities Continuo? to be tho engrossing topio lu South Carolina. From March until tho present thoro ha? boon practi cally no cessation. Tho moro than ono hundred mombers of tho Logislaturo, who refused to voto for Gou. Hampton for tho Sonate, finally contorod on Col. Irby, of Laurens, and olootod him. Tho end of pul ?Ile opinion for a year has boon adverso to Qom Ilamptou. This has boon intensified by his conduct dur ing the recent oampaign. Coi? MASON, our Senator, and MKBSRS. SHANK MN and ZIMMKKMAN, our Roprosontativos, Voted steadily for Col. Irby. Thoy woro on tho ground and had opportunity for roaohing tho best man in tho contest. It was thoir duty to mako tho solcotion, and, instead of cavilling at tho iosult, wo should rathor endorso thoir course Theirs is tho responsibility for tho solcotion mado, and, on that account, and ospooially for tho good limn? and famo of tho Stato, wo wish Col. Irby much success and distiuc % tiou iii this highly honorable position, if 'V; .TJho Columbia Register, a Domocrat of tho straitest soot, with a heart all for Hampton, has tho following opportune artiolo on tho result of tho Souatorinl election: "Colonel Irby is tho youngest Sonator who has ovor boon chosen by this Stato to our knowlodgr or memory. Ho was i^-, born in Laurens on Scptomber 10, 18M, and is tho Bon of tho Honorable James Irby, for ninny years a Stato Sonator from Laurens, and of Honriotta Karlo. Tho now United Saxton Sonator was, tboroforo, 30 yearn old last September. "Sonator Irby was chlofly educate * at tho University of Virginia ar.d Princeton College. Ho waa admitted to tho bar in 1870, but in 1878 ho retired from tho pro fession and engaged in fnrming nt his farm near Laurons Court House. Colo nol Irby is said to bo a successful farmor and is an iniluontial mombor of tho Alli ance. "Colonol Irby was elected from Laurena to tho Lowor Houso of tho Stato Legis lature in 1880, 1888 and 1800. Though a forcible and ready debater, bo mado no figuro on tho (lour of tho Houso in tho four years of publie sorvico previous to thc present session. As a matter of choice he confined himself to an activo control of men and measures off of tho floor. That bo mado tho mot t romarka bio uso of bis ability in this direction ii ? attested by tho fact that in four short years bc roso tobo a recognized loadrr among mon. "At tho last sessions/ tho Logislaturo . Irby'? fino hand 'vas felt in every moa suro advaoftted by bis wing of the Domo jg#i2.?A and bo wioldod a commanding mlluonco. In tho Mardi Convention, when l.hp Farmers' Movement moved off, it ?B known to'all that, it was Irby who "whooped up tho boys," and it is geno rally believed that his address, pluck and ready policy saved that movement. Tho Tillman ticket was put in tho Held and a thorough organization was effected Irby was a leading spirit in tho Tillman host from tho llrst tap of tho drum. His vigor, bis coolness, his adroitness and Ins remarkable address wore felt ovory wl'aro. '"As a proof of all this it must bo said that there has been no man in all the history of the Stato who has over received so many honors in so short a time. In August lie was put at tho head of tho State Executive Committee of tho Demo cracy. In November ho was elected Speaker of the Houso without opposition; ned yesterday, the 11th of December, bo was elected United States Senator. Verily has tho young member from Lau rens proved a political cyclone. "Whatfigure Senator Irby will mako **" Inutile,Federal Sonate it is not for UB to > say. Those who know him host bespeak for him a brilliant career. Of this, how ever, there can ho no disputo: ho has run thu gamut of fame in this old common wealth as mi other man has ever before bim dono. Ile has his futuro before him ns have had few mon in this wide country. Should ho provo himself equal to his splendid opportunity lie will roaoh a national reputation such as few men have attained in all America." Arrest of Attorney Genoral Pope on a Flimsy Charge. Attorney General S. Y. Popo ono day last week dismissed T. ll. butler, ono of tho clerks in the Engrossing Dopnrtmont, because of tho latter's courso in the late election, butler was a candidato for the Logislaturo from Union county on Hie Straightout ticket, and opposed tho elec tion of H. li. Tillman for Governor. It | was claimed by Butler and his friends that his removal from ofllco for political reasons was in violation of tho laws of | thu State. That our readers may seo hew flimsy is tho protext and how strict the construction on which they baso their prosecution, we quote tho Section of tho Genoral Statutes alleged o havo been violated: ft SUCTION 2562. Whoever shall assault j or intimidate any citizen hocause of po-[ litical opinions, or thc oxerclso of politi cal rightB and privileges guaranteed to ovory citizen of tho United States by tho Constitution and laws thereof, or hy tho Constitution and laws of this Stato, or | for such reason shall dischargo such citi zen from employment or occupancy, or eject such citizen from a routed house or land or other pro, erty, such poison shall Lo deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction thereof be fined not less than $50 or mm o than $1,000, or bo im prisoned no less than three months or moro than ono year, or both at tho dis cretion of tho court." On Thursday Mr. N. G. Gonzales went] before Trial Justice Pringle T. Youmans, of Columbia, and made aflldavit that At torney General Pope was guilty of a mis demeanor in thc removal of lintier as a I clerk in tho 'Engrossing Department on tho grounds above mentioned. Trial Justice Youmens held the matter under advisement until Satuiday, when be issued tho warrant and tho Attorney General was duly arrested. Tho prelimi naiy hearing was fixed for Tuesday, 10th inst nit, at ll A. M. Wo cannot see how the above statute can bo made to fit Huller's ense, as it ovidently is applicable only to employees, such ns field hands or tenants. Tl?o caso was dismissed on prelinvnary hearing Tuesday.
