Thi en.Committee of the Elections Cmn InIttee 6f the House ofRepresent atives, who Nad uder considerat Ion the case bf Stol 1brand against Alk-n, for his seat in Con, ges flrom this District, has unanimously grised to report in favor of Aiken. The Utted States Commissioner, Stoeber, who toor the testhony for Stolbrand is his son In-law, and noted both as enommissioner and attorney. Stoeber and Stolbrand were too much for even the sub comnmittee's great. digestive powers. Stolbrand was granted permission to withdraw his pipers and this ends the farce of 6tolbrand vs. Aiken. Re-Districting the State. Under the re-apportionment Act. of Con. gross, which passed since our Legislature adjourned, South Carolina is entitled to two additional Congressmen. Senators But ler and Hampton, and one or two of our Congressmen. and a majority of the State Democratic Executive Committee, are in favor of the Governor calling an extra sen alon of the Legislatdre for the put pose ef re-districting the State. They say that. the political advantages to be gained there by will more than compensate the State for the expenses of an extra session. It' Congress will admit the t wo extra Congress men if elected from the State at large, and we have seen no doubt expressed on this point., wethink it would be better than calling an extra ses5sionl to redistrict the State. We are opposed to an extra session, and we hope Governor Hiagood wili give the subjet, which we know lhe will, ma tnre consideration before issuing the call for an extra session. Organizing. The Democrats of Barnwell Count y are organizing, and we see that Major E. B. Alurray, the Chairman of Anderson County, called- a meeting of the Executive Conunit - tee of that. County on laist Mondlay, ''ror the purpose of attending to business of' great importance." Tlhiis is right, every club in the State should now be thoroughly organized. The necessity of a comiplete ~ ..~ gist ration of every Democratic vot er is too apparent to Deed1 discussion. Radical ism, G3reenbackismi and Independent ismn have clasped hands in a connnon cause .against, Democracy and decent government in the State Lethargy, and indifference > on the part of the Duimocrats will give them the victory, but t horoughi organiization * and. activity will defeat. them. Which shiall be done. We are gratified to learn through the cerrespondeniOl of the Augusta Chroniclc and Couatitution'ist, that the aninouncemenit formerly made by him to the effect that Senator Butler hadu biecome tiredI ot' jublic lire and would not be a candidate for re e, leotion, w'is without f')uidation.

The Senator iuau interview with the Wash. ingtot correspondent of the News and Courier, expressed very emphaticelly, his opinicn about the prosecutions. In reply to the question as to what he thought of the letter of Attorney General Brewster to Mr. 0ainder, insisting on a vigerous proseou tion. tie Senator suid: "Why it simply means thait the Stalwarts, having discovered that. the South Carolina DemQcracy doesn't 'Mahoneize," as was confidently predicted, and- br, ak up into disgraceful fictions, and cajolery having failed to bring about. the desired result, they will resort to terrorism by political proscoutions i the United States Courts. That. is what it nans-" "Wero you not surprised at. this remarks able attitude of the Attorney Oenernl'?" "lNothing surprises me now a-days. The Attorney '4enerai is carrying out tihe be bests of the political masters and ought not to surprise anybody.' An erupt ion of of ficial virite apopears to linve broken or.t all over the new Attorney General. lie is al most as badly afilicted with tihe South Car olina clection cases as he was at first in the 'Star Route friuds. Public sentiment is deman'ing wit i uncomtortable unaimity that tile 'tar Route fritids' shall be vig orously prosecuted, and ir. Brewster no doubt tinis tlie prosecution of his Stalwart aillies not very agreeable or palatable work, so lie seeks to make a diversion by venting bi oIicial wrath oi i a few Suthii Carolina Democrnt.

The cause of these men, who are bein g proseciletd, or rather per.ecuted for political piurposes, becomes tlie cause of the Demo craicy of ic State, and as sch must meet wit i a defense that has 1no uncertain mean ing in it. Because tile white people refuse to vote tle Hadicail ticket, or s uffer the State to becotie A fricanized, and subject to itinder by alien and native thieves, tile whole machinery of the Federal Govern ment, under the present Stalwart Adminis trat ion, is to be used to crush them.
