VOL. XX. PICKENA, A. C0) TilE REGENTS RELY. TO THE CHARGES OF THE LEGISLA TIVE COMMITTEE. The Testimony Said to bo Mainly That of Discharged Employees--The Charge of Neglect of Diuty by the Regents Denied --The Officerm to Answer Separately. CoUMBiA, S. C, April 23.--Below we giv3 the letter of the Board of Asylum Regents to (overnor Tillman in reply to the charges made against them by the legislative investigating committee. The letter speaks for itself: "To 1iV Excllency, (ov. B. R. Til1 man: "lhe committee appointed by the Legislature -in December last to cx amino into aitd report upon the condi tion and management of the Lunatic Asylum, has completed Its work, and made its report. to the Chief Executive of the State. Inasmuch as this report brings several charges directly against the Board of Aegents, we deei it prop er in the outs3t to state the fact that the inquisition was made by the con mittee without notice to u., without any intimation to us that we were to be put on trial, End consequently with no opportunity given us, or any of the of ficers in charge of the institution, for cross-examination or rebuttal. It was entirely an e.x parHe proceeding, w here witnesses wei e examined in private. "That report with the charges therein contained, has gone in a semi-official forin, before the people of the State, through the newspaper of the day. "A I 1,ir an examination of such por tions of the testimony taken by the legislative committee as has now just been submitted to us by the Governor, we lind that in a large umiiber of cases the wit nesses giving the most tin favor able test iniony were either discharged atteindants or employees having some fancied grievance to avenge. The two principal charges against the Ioard proper are: First, a failure to meet as often as their riles require; and second, a lIx performance of their duty when such mneetings are held. "The first cAarve we positively assert to be without foundation in faft. The rules of the Board reluire monthly meetings and our records will show that, since the passage of the law ten years ago there has been no single in stance of our failure to imeet as re quired. But few instances have oc curred in which every member was not present, and in every such case the ab sentee was prevented from attending by sickness or other unavoidable cause. True, every ward is not visited at every meeting, the largely increased size of the asylum rendering this a work of too much magnitude for one day's per tormance, the rule of our Board being that at the conclusion of the routine business the President of the Board ap points committees of two to inspect the different portions of the entire institu tion, and our records show in the re ports of said committees that a large portion of the building is regularly in spected by us, and the testimony of the witnesses before the legislative com mittee goes to show that those portions unvisited were always in proper con dition, tho purpose, therefore, ot the inspection haviig been as fully accoi plished by the known uncertainty as though the examination had been made. Only a very few instances have occurred in which the examination was entirely postponed or omitted, and these omissions were caused by the press of more important matters. "Besides all this the executive regent for the current month, resident in Co lumbia, has invariably in the discharge of his duty visited and inspected, once or twice each month, the entire build ings and grounds as is clearly shown by his reports in our minutes. "In a prudential point of view it is manifestly improper for strange'rs to intrudhe often in those wards whiere the more violent p)atienits are confinedi, the very presence of strangers tending to cause undue excitement and thus to in terfere with thle propier treatment and to retardl the cure. "As to the matter of implrop)er food the simple fact is that our contract for beef, wvhich is hiurinishied on alt.ernate days, is made with a bonded contractor who stipulates to furnish goodl mer chantable beef andi we kiiov the fact that the authorities inii inmmfiate charge (10 reject, it wheni it falls bown the proper stand(ard. "The preponderance of the test imony, together with our owvn knowledge, fully establishes the tact that the food1 pro vided has been good, palatable and suflicient. To show the truth of this statement we refer to the bills of arti cles purchased on file in the oflice of ouir stewardl. We have frequently exaimieud the food in the kitchen and on the t ables and( have ivariably found it, goodi, well [prepiare.l and( served, andmlie - dining rooms par'tical;rly neat and( clean. "P1 ay p)atlints ho receivYe lbetter ae conmmodat mons amnd greaiter variety of food Itan is funrnmishied to thme nion- pay inmates amnd we apprhmehiend( that no onie will deniy u hat this is jutst and proper. "'A di fference also is mae ini tihe cases of the sick or delicate and those in pos session of health and full physical strength. 'That thme nion-paty p)atienits, however, are wvell caredl for, we appe'al to the testimony of' your Excellency, who, alter a personal examtinat ion of the instit.utioni mn Novenmber last, 51at ed sonmewhiat, as it appeCaredf, wvithI an air of complaint, that the 'pauper' Iunat les fared better than the poor, toiling far mer who was taxed for their supp)fort "The severest criticism agaimst, the Board is as to the management of the farm. The legislative comiittee bases their charges on the testimony of only two witnesses, one a former eimployee who was discharged for cause several years ago, the other wvitness being the present superintendent of t.be farm who was elected by us in October last, -and who ha~s been in charge of the farm ever since, wit,h Instructions from us to (d0 all in his power to imp)rove the efilceiency of thme same. "As long ago as November lasit the %superintendlent of the farm was in sItuctedl to proceed with the erection of a new barn andi stable, andi proper appropriation was miade by uts f or the work. VarIous causes have arisen to prevent the earlier coimpletlon of these needed improvements. As a proof of the value of the farm as an adjunct of the asylum and m i refutation of the evidencs submitted to the committee, we herewvith append the monthly re p)orts of the superintendent of the farm from November last to the present date, which shows a net profit of $948.50. "InI reference to the charges more directly affecting the Superintendent and ollicers immediately in charge of the institution, we have placed the tes tinony in their hands and have given them a week to prepare their answer and report to the boar 1.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-The Na ional Association of Democratic Clubs proposes to take a very active part in the campaign of education, which met with such great success last year and which is to be c-trried on with more vigor than ever this year and next. The excutive committee, of which Rep resentative Wilson, of West Virginia, is chairman and Lawrence Gardner, of this city, is secretary, has prepared a 1lan under which it is Intended to have an aggressive Democratic organization In every voting precinct In the country when the fall campaign opens. In addi tion to the vice president of the Natiknal Assoc!ation in each State, a superinten dent and organizer will be appointed for each county, and the work of all N ill be sulppervised by the National Association, acting with the co-operation of the Na tional, State and Congressional coi mittees. The plan has already received the approval of numerons State commit tees, and its promoters are confideut that its operation will be of very great service to the party. In order to put the new plan into ac tive operation Chairman Wilson will start to-morrow _)n a toua acress the contiment to confer with State and local organizations. The details of the trip have not all been arranged, but Mr. Wilson expects to visit a good many points.

Terrible Work of a Torpedo. SAN FRANcisco, April 22.-Private advices from Valparaiso by a steamer froin Panama this morning report the blowing tip of the wooden gunboat Pil comayo, belonging to the insurgents. The government late one night sent out a steam launch fitted ip as a tor pedo boat, with the hope of getting rid of soime of the ships blockading the port. The boat steered for a vessel supposed to be the Blanco Encalada, a big ironclad that has played havoc with the port on several occasions. The launch crept close to the cruiser, whose crew, never dreaming of an attack from that quarter, were trying to make out what was going on in the harbor, where guns and rockets were being fired in order to attra'ct the attentioni of the rebel ships. When close to the vessel it was discovered that it was the Pilcomayo instead of the Blanco. It was too lato to rectify thme mistake, so the torpedo was sent on its mission of hiestruction. it struck the gunboat fair amiidship and lifted her clean out tf the wvater. The goveriiment claims that thme entire crew of the gunboat, lumbering 135 men, was lost. TIhe rebels state that thirty of the crew, in eluiding the cap)tain, wvere picker' upi by anie of the boats of the insurgent fleet. Inuuan Mani and Wjfe.

Judige itnmonton decides that tho Unjlite(d States Court 1ias ,jurim,liction in the Case--the Questions I'rementea Iti the Principles Involveti.1 .jAltLs':lToN, S. C., April 21.-Judge Simonton rendered a decision to-day af firming Federal jurisdiction in the Coo saw case. Following is a synopsis of the decision: At the threshold of this case plain tiis submit two luest )ins to the court: First, IIas it jurisdiction in this case? Second, if it has jurisdiction, are there not considerations of courtesy and comity towards the State Court which will induce it to withhold action ? las this court jurisdiction of this case will depend upon two< questions: Is a case removable from the State Court to this court? 11s it been re moved ? The casv cannot be removed unless it comnes within the class of cases arising under the Constitution of the United States, of which circuit courts of the UniLted States are given juris diction by the first section of the act of Congress of 1888. Section 1 of that act gives to the Circuit Court of the I'ni ted States original cognizance, concur rent with the courts of the several States, of all suits of a civil nature at ccmmon law or inl equity where the matter exceeds, pxchltisive of itere.t and costs, the stii or value of *20. and arising under the cistitu 1tion (.I* the I'nited States. The value of tie matter in dispute here is beyond the sum stated. 'lhe acts i1:m akes no excepq tion because of the cla,,racter of the parties. The sole question, there'ore, is: -Does this arise under the constitution of the United States? The petition for removal states that the relators are acting under and by the authority of an act, of the assembly of this State, approved December, 1.90. That the grant which they have, and which they chaige is a contract between them and the said State, is imp;kired by said act of 1890. That the said act is a violation of the Constitution of the United States in sundry particulars es pecially in that it impairs the obliga tion of a contract. There can be no doubt that if the (luestion whether the act of 1.10 im-i. paired the obligation of a contract can be made to appear on that part of their record, which this court is at liberty to examine at this stage of the proceed ings, the case is removable. It is a Federal question, arising under the Constitution of the United States. Thus there are present. before the Court with this complaint tw() acts of the Legislature 01 South Carolinit. One of them, says the defendants, cre ates a contract between them and the State, giving them certain exclusive rights in State territory. The other creates the board which the relators claim to be, and by its several provis ions seeks to clothe then with power impairing these contract rights of (e fendant-, and by its general repealing clause seeks to destroy them altogether. Thus there is made in this way, going no further than the complaint-and the acts which in contemplation of law ac company and illustrate it-an issue which raised a Federal iuestion an( would be proper for the jurisdiction of the court. But is the court, in seeking to ascer tain whether a cause is removable, con fined to the allegations of the com plaint? Is it precluded from examin ing the petition for removal? When a petition for removal and bond are filed in the court, the cause is removed when the recoi d is iled in this court. The case will be remanided to the State court if it shall appear to the suat isfac lion of the Circuit Court of the Un iitedt States "that suich sut dloes not really and substantially iinvolvye in d ispute or controyersy p)ropert.y withini the j1uris dlict,ion of the said Circutit Court,.'' Undler the act of 18ttf, in all cases of removal the petition for remnoval is a part of the record, and is examined by the court, antd under1c the act, of 10~> i't was an essenttial part of the record, aind was always (xam ineil in det erii ionti the retnovatbility of a suit. I A uthori t,ies are cited ina each instance for these p)ositions. ] But the removal act, re <qures the court to exaini ne into the dlis pute or controversy, and to determine i f that is withmin its jutrisdiction. 1f. ap pearinug fronm the iecord in this case that, the suit really and substaintial ly inv ~olves a dlispute (or cotrioversy whether the State of Sonuth Carolina has not passcd an act imiipairuinig ani ob ligation of a contract alleged to have been iuadle between said Stat.e andI thei defendant , thle catuse Presents a q ies lion- withinii the origin a Ijunrisdolict ion of this courit, anid is remtovalm,ie.
