Tillman received a telegram from Baltimore stating that the contract made with the syndicate for the purchase of State bonds had been signed and that the deposit required o'* the purchasers on the signing of thc con tract would be deposited in Charleston yesterday. The Bank of Charleston National Banking Association is the depository. According to the terms of the contract the syndicate takes $2.<>oo. 000 of the bonds and lias an option on the remaining $5. SO0J W- The State authori ties think there is no doubt whatever about thc syndicate taking all. Thus, at last, the vexed question about placing of the bonds seems to have been accom plished. The bonds have been placed at -r per cent. Thus the bonded debt of the State is happily and successfully removed from politics. Statistics of the Baptists of South Ca rolina for 1*92.

He says the Democrats proposed the Electoral Commission themselves, winch finally awarded the seat to Hayes. The Gener alis letter is quite a contribution to tbe history Of the times, and has corrected the erroneous impressions and prejudices under which we labored. Ex-President R. B. Hayes died sud denly at his home in Fremont, Ohio, Tuesday night of last week. He was a tattve of Ohio and was seventy years of age. He served with distinction in T he Federal army, was twice elected Governor of Ohio, and represented his district in Congress several terms. He w;s* the Republican nominee for Presi dent in 1*7?; and was awarded the office over Samuel J. Tilden by the famous Electoral Commission. His administra tion was a clean and honest one. and it was through the policy of his adminis tration that some of the Southern States, South Carolina among the number, were enabled to free themselves from the rule of carpet-baggers and robbers. 1 here is a proposition before Congress to admit the Indian Territory as a State into the Union. This ts independent ??f the proposed State of Oklahoma. The Cherokee Strip if purchased, will be added to Oklahoma; and Indian Territory will then be controlled by the five civil ized tribes.

The capital invested in blast furnances in these States increased from about $17,000,000 in 1880 to over $33.000,000in 1S90; in rolling mills and; steel works, from over $11.500.000, inj 1S$0 v, $17,500,000 in 1S90; and the pro-! duets of these works increased from j S290JX)Oto $515,000, the increase being ex- ! elusively in steely Col.

[Atlanta Constitution.] The Charleston Netcs and Courier seems to he somewhat worried over the distri bution of Federal patronage in South Carolin^. It hailed with loud cries of delight a remark attributed to Daniel Lamont a while ago to the effect that Mr. Cleveland was not going to forget the old guard, and it watches with a keen and jealous eye- ail the developments and manifestations of office-seeking. In a late issue our contemporary re marks that "when Mr. Cleveland takes up the question of Federal patronage in I South Carolina, it is reasonable to assume that he will not be controlled by any of the purely local issues which have so disturbed the harmony of the white peo ple" in South Carolina during the last few years. "The test of a man's Democ racy is not the personality of the candi date whose cause he espoused in the con vention at Chicago, but it is the princi ples which he avows," says the New* and Courier. "If he has professed his allegiance to the platform of the National Democracy, he is a Democrat." This is very sens: ble and satisfactory, and if our contemporary had stopped right there we should say that it was en gaged in the grand work of restoring that harmony which is essential to Demo cratic success everywhere and especially in South Carolina, but the Nevi and Courier goes on to remark: "It is not true, as Senator Irby told the New York Times rep?..ter on Sunday night, that 'we are all loyal Democrats now and have ? been ever since the nomination of Mr. Cleveland at Chicago.' If Mr. Cleveland j wants to find out how much truth there ! is in Senator Irby's statement, let him send for the record." Evidently things arc getting lively in '.the Palmetto State. But-who is Mr. Cleveland to send for the record, and what will thc record show after it is found and forwarded? Evidently South Carolina is trembling on thc verge of an interesting disclosure. We judge from , the News and Courier's remark that it j has in its possession a duly attested j record going to show that certain South Carolinians, who supported a Democratic ! candidate for President on a Democratic platform, arc not Democrats. We trust Mr. Cleveland will take this I patriotic editor at his word, send for the ! record, and give it to the press, so that a \ curious public may understand how it is j that what constitutes a Democrat in other '.arts of the countrvfails utterly in South t i Carolina. According to a report printed in one of j ' the interior newspapers of New York. \ Mr. Cleveland is beginning to feel some what irritated over the intimates who : are buzzing around him and fixing up his administration, and we have no doubt that when he opens the door to the gene- ! ral public, he w ill find thc old guard too \ numerous for comfort. We don't know what the trouble with 1 the New* and Courier is, nor where the proud spirit of civil service reform has tied to, but we do not think there is any danger of a serious attempt in South Carolina to snatch the official teat out of the mouths of those who were for Cleve- ' Land first, Last and all the time. At the same time, we should like to know how it is that a South Carolina man who supports a Democratic candi date on a Democratic platform can be proven by the "record" not to be a Demo crat. (io Slow, But Sure. [Columbia Register.] The Railroad Commission was a little bit "too previous" in its first act under the new railroad law. On January 21 it issued a circular fixing rates from Colum bia and Charleston to points on thc Port Royal and Western Carolina Railway, said rates to go into effect on February I. The Commission evidently paid no heed to Davy Crockett's celebrated maxim. "Be sure you are right and then go ahead." The Commission was not right, and it will have to undo or modify its a< ;ion. The Law gives it the power to make rates, but providesthat the rates shall not go into effect until thirty days' notice thereof has been given. The Com mission failed to give thirty days' notice, ano its rates cannot be enforced. The Commission made no provision for the hearing of objections to the rate it pro mulgates, yet the Law distinctly provides thal roads desiring to object shall be given a hearing. The action of the Commission was pre mature, hut it can easily be rectified by the Commission, which should henceforth : move more surely, even if more slowly, and acquire a better knowledge of thc law under which it is acting. The people of the State expect great go,.d to result from the new railroad law. and with the Commission lies the success or failure of the law. The railroads are going to fight the law and will employ ti e ocst legal talent obtainable to aid ; them in their attempt to break down thc law; therefore the Commission should let down no gaps;?c should see that each ' I step it takes i., with the express sanction ; of the law: it should entrench each posi- ; , tion it assumes. Fixing Freight Rates. COLUMBIA, January 22.-The Railroad Commission yesterday for the first time exercised one of its powers under the new railroad law. It is in the shape of a:: order fixing the joint rates on fertili zers from Columbia and from Charleston to stations on thc Port Royal and West ern Carolina road. When the Richmond and Danville road had control of this road these rates were from $2.40 to il'.">4 per ton. The Georgia Central having ob tained control of it. Agent Craig, at Au gusta last week, raised the rates from $2.40 to SM.TO or the strength of a peti tion from the merchants in Charleston and Columbia The Commission has ' made the joint rate from $2. GO to $2.75. They Refused to See Reporters. LAKEWOOD, N. J., January 24.-Presi dent-elect Cleveland and ex-Secretary of State Bayard, who is the guest ot Mr. Cleveland, were up and about at an carlv hour this morning and both took a short walk and after awaiting the arrival of the train from New York, returned to : the cottage of William C. Whitney. Mr. | Whitney is expected at any time, and j when he arrives Mr. Cleveland will go to j work upon his Cabinet. Mr. Whitney wired that he would be here to-day. . CleveTanu, while in New York yester day, finished up all his private legal busi ness for the week so he could remain here. Senator Carlisle will be here to night and an interesting conference rs j likely. There is no further d^ubt as to Bayard entering Cleveland s Cabinet. That seems to be a settled fact among knowing politicians here. Cleveland and Bayard refund to see reporters this morning, saying that they had nothing to say for publication. Bayard will remain here for tie balance of t?e week. An indictment has been filed in the Wake Superior court of North Carolina against Otho S.'

[Farmers' Journal.] Tbe cotton crop of the United States is estimated at about 6,500,000 bales.. The crop, as a whole, was forced out of the farmers' hands upon the market, at a price not exceeding li cents per pound. Averaging the weight of each bale at 475 pounds, the whole crop, at that price, would amount to $223,?43,750. If the people could have stored their cotton and could have drawn SO per cent of its value, they could have met their obliga tions, controlled their products and could have reaped the' benefit of the advance in price. The same crop at 94 cents (and cotton went that high) would have amounted to $293,312,500. This would have left the enormous sum of $09,40$. 750 in the pockets of the .armers with which to improve their farms, provide for their families and make farm homes happy. Let us renew thc fight for the sub-treasury. Allianccmen, and Alli ance papers, do you hear? Load up your heads with facts and your hearts with a determination to stand for your rights. Begin the fight afresh and keep it up vigorously. An army cannot be kept inspired without a purpose in view. Inspiration is the essence of a purpose: action is the essence of inspiration. Then let us have a purpose and push our fight up to the last battlements of the opposi tion. The >*egro at the Capital. [Atlanta Constitution.] The Washington correspondent of the Boston Transcript is giving the readers of that paper some very unwelcome facts concerning the 80,000 negroes who .-^skle [ in the District of Columbia. For years the negroes of Virginia and Marvland have been flocking to the Fedc I * ral Capital. They own but little proj> erty, and most of them work only enough to keep body and soul together. Espe cially is this true of thc women, who are far more thriftless and shiftless than the men. and altogether more vicious. The j younger generation of negro women are averse to domestic service, and it is a rare thing to find a good cook among j them. The proportion of crime -among these people is enormous. At one time there were eleven negro murderers in the Washington jail, all of whom had been brought up in freedom. Before the war there were not eleven murderscommitted by slaves in the whole United States in a year. Emancipation, says this Boston paper's correspondent, has turned the most peaceable and law-abiding people in the world into the most criminal raee tn this or any other civilized country, and it has, moreover, made them a race ! of idlers. The only idea of civilization that a negro has is to learn-how to read j and write. In Washington the jail is filled mainly from the ranks of these educated negroes. The leaders preach ', the doctrine of resistance to law, and some .of them bast year declared that for every negro shot by a policeman a white man should be killed. Three policemen i were killed by negroes last year, and highway robbery is on the increase. Surely, no such terrible indictment of ! the negro race is to bc found these days ' in the Southern papers. It is in a repu table Boston journal that we lind these statements, with the additional comment \ that all the money spent for the educa j tion of these people simply makes them more criminal and more dangerous! The average Southerner will not hesi tate to say that the correspondent of the Transcript has drawn too black a picture. ;It may be that the congestion of the negro problem in Washington and a dis position to look to the government for I relief has had a bad effect, but in the South at large thc negroes are far from] being hopelessly lazy and thoroughly criminal. Perhaps their education has : been forced too rapidly, but in Oeorgia and other Southern States they arc mode : lately industrious and are becoming a ! nice of home-owners. Their progress is slow, but still there is a distinct advance every decade, and the situation !.s calcu lated to inspire hope. I II" a proper effort should be made to j , induce thc negro population of Washing ton to distill.nie itself in other towns and in thc rural districts, the result would Le beneficial all round. We commend this view to the Northerners who are j allowing-their disappointed expectations concerning the negroes to bias their judg ment to an un just extreme. If thenegroes i are judiciously let alone, and left to work out their own destiny, all will be well. The whole trouble is caused by the med aling of outsiders who know nothing : about this peculiar race. Too much pet i ting, too much forced education, are fatal. Heath of Justice Lamar. MACON, GA., January 23. - Justice j Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar, of ! the Supreme Court of the United States, died here at 8.50 o'clock this evening. It is a terrible shock to the community. j Death was sudden in the extreme, for although he had been ailing for some time. Justice Lamar appeared to be j gradually gaining in health. He came from Washington to Macon about a month ago. and has been visiting at the residence of Mr. W. II. Virgin, in Vine villc. a suburb of this city. This afternoon about 3 o'clock Justice Lamar took Ins overcoat, intending to go to the city, but was met at the door bj' a j friend. Dr. Llewellyn, with whom he re- j turned to the sitting room. At that time. 1 and during all the afternoon, he was in | good spirits, and at dinner, at *?.."0 this evening, he seemed to have a good appe- ! tite. Dr. Llewellyn left the house about j S o'clock, and a few minutes later Jus- j tice Lamar was seized with violent pains in thc heart, and he died at tho hour j mentioned. Bright's disease, with angina pectoris. : was thc direct cause of Justice Lamar's \ death, and is given by the physicians as J being the chief complication' in the case, j Justice Lamar came into the city this | afternoon and called at the officcof Col. R. E. Pardee, where he conversed pleas antly on several topics. He was accom panied by Dr. Llewellyn on his return to the residence of W. H. Virgin, who mar ried Justice Lamar's daughter. Th? attack was very severe while it lasted, and the physician, Dr. A. H. Parker, who had been in attendance, arrived only a few minutes before the death. At this time Justice Lamar was unconscious and beyond medical aid. Restoratives were at once administered, but were entirely without avail. He died with his head on Mr. Virgin's hands, and apparently without pain, the spasm ! having passed off at'that time. State Liquor Dealers in Covention. CHABLESTOX, S. C., January 24.-A convention, composed of about one hun dred delegates from most of the coun ties in the State, met here to-day and perfected a permanent .organization of the liquor deafers of thi:? State. An ex ecutive conrmifcfee of fifty was appointed for_ the purpose of. raising funds and fighting in the Courts the constitution ality Of the Evans liquor law passed at' the recent session of the General Assem bly. It was decided to raise quite a large sum of money for legal expenses. 1 ' It is generally agreed .amon? natural ists that the tortoise is the longest-lived of all animals. Trying to Split the Alliance. MEMPHIS, TEXX., January 22.-Thc next issue of the Xational Economist will contain a manifesto from a faction of the Farmers' Alliance appealing to members of the order to repudiate the acts of the late Memphis convention by forming a new organization on a strictly non-par tisan basis.. The manifesto is signed by J. F. Tillman, of Tennessee, who, along with .his office, was "abolished'' as far as the Alliance is concerned at the Memphis convention. Mr. Tillman denounces the men who now control the Alliance and reviews the origin and growth of the order, pointing out its original purposes, which he declares were in accord with the principles of the Democratic party, and which he, as a life-long Democrat, undertook to carry out and impress upon its members. Referring to and defining the action of the late national campaign, in which he is charge ' with treason to the Alliance by sending out. under his official signature, numerous documents appealing to the Alliance to 'be true to Democratic teaching, upon which it was formed, bc says: "I conceived it a duty devolving upon me, both as general manager and direc tor of the lecture bureau of the Xational Alliance and as an humble member of thc Democratic party, to contribute to the success of a cause common to the in terests of both. That literature sent out under my signature aided thc Demo cratic party and contributed alike to the defeat of the Republican and Third Par ties, I have no doubt, and freely admit. In fact, such were my desires, because the Third Party in my State and other Southern States was allying with the Republicans in its effort to defeat Demo cratic principles. A call will be issued in a few days for a convention of the seceding faction, which will meet in Memphis or Atlanta some time during April." WASHINGTON*. D. C., .January 21.-The United States Supreme Court to-day dis missed for want of jurisdiction with directions to the United States Circuir, Court for the District of South Carolina to do likewise, the suits brought by the Northeastern Railroad Company and ^ Central Railroad Company against Wai- ! ter and Ellis to enjoin these county offi- ! ccrs from the collection of the tax im posed on the railroads by thc State. The ' taxes were State, county and school raxes. The Tillman board of Equalization as sessed railroad property at a higher rate | than other property and it is claimed j that this is unconstitutional. The ?pies tion at issue has stirred up the railroad' companies of the State and has been a political issue as well between the two j wings of the South Carolina Democracy. It is held that jurisdiction cami* i be made to attach by combining various : forms of tax in a nuraher of counties and thus swelling the total amount involved to fjbove 82.000. the amount necessary to take the case into tin- Federal court. The merits of the case were not gone ? into. The opinion is by Justice brown. CHARLESTON-. S. C., January 2.1.-In the United States Court to-day Judge Simonton, on motion of Joseph Ganahl, ? counsel for S. M. Comer. Receiver of the Georgia Central Railroad of Georgia, issued an order requiring Sheriff Nance, of Abbeville county, to show .cause why \ he should not be committed for contempt ' ? and also an order forbidding him from interfering with the property of the j ''. rt Royal and Western Carolina Rail ? road or arresting or interfering with its j conductors or trainmen. The snit grew ; j out of the arrest at Greenwood on Satur- ' day last by Sheri IT Nance of the trains1 ; of the above road for taxes due the State ! i and county. The trains escaped from j the Sheriff, who threatened to airest the : ! lirst that passed Greenwood to-day.! Notice of the order of Court wa: fcele : graphed to Sheriff Nance.

Locomotives Before Bibles. [Savannah Morning News. ? A writer in a recent issue of thc New York Tim's estimates that there are" in the isolated mountain districts of North Carolina. South Carolina. Georgia, Ten-; nessee and Kentucky about 4,000,000 per sons "living in the poverty, degredation . and wee born of ignorance." Another ; writer in the same paper corrects the statement by reducing the number of such inhabitants to about 1,000,000: the total population of the States named is about 9,000,< (0. The second writer also asserts that one-fourth of the number of mountaineers are fully equal in crery social, material and religious respect to thc average inhabitants of a Northern village. The remainder of writer No. l's allegations are agreed to; that is. as to the poverty, ignorance and vice of tho people. How to reach and regenerate fhis mil lion of people is the subject discussed hy each writer. The first says seno school teachers and the Bible and missionaries among them: they need education to show them their immorality, and relig ious training to remove the superstitious fear that makes them almost heathen. The second writer says teachers and mis- j sionaries" and Bibles are ail well enough ! in their way. but to get at thc mountain- | eers and reform them in the shortest time and most thorough manner possible is, not to begin by sending preachers and teachers into their districts, but to send steam engines over lines of steel rails. Put the isolated corners of the several States into communication with thc rest of the world, and intelligence, education and morality would soon take the places of the conditions that exist there now. Preachers and teachers, churches and school houses would soon follow the march of progress. "'One locomotive." says the writer who would work moral reforms through civil engineering, "would do more than 1,000,000 Bibles and 1.000 churches. The common sense of the present day will fully support this view of the case. Religion and virtue need a congenhil ?oil to flourish in, and'the pres ent condition of the majority of thc peo ple is not congenial to. anything but ignorance and vice." 2,228,672. These figures represent the number of bottles of Dr. King's Xew Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds, which were sold in the United States from March, 1891, to March, 1892.
