V / THE AIKEN RECORDER. Publishki» Eveky Tuesday. AIKEN. S. C.. DEC. 1*. 1888. The Popular Vote. Ke-fc.leetion of Senator Butler. '-■ I "" On Tuesday last, both Houses of the Eegislature balloted for ITuited ; States Senator. Hon. M. C. Butler received the tinauimous vote of the ; Senate, and all except the three Re- j publican votes in the House of Repre sentatives, which were cast for T. E. Miller of Beaufort. The results of the official canvasses cf the votes cast for Presidential Electors are now known. The total vote is as lollows: Democratic -. .5,538,045 Republican 5,430,607 Prohibition ... 257,243 Labor 111,623 Snow Slorrii* at the Xorili. Total 11,340,518 Cleveland received a plurality of 107,438 votes in the country at large; or about 45,000 more than he received in 1884. Harrison carried 20 States by pluralities aggregating 460,830, and Cleveland carried 18 States by aggregate pluralities of 574,268. And yet in the face of this apparent popu lar majority for the Democratic can didate, the Republicans have been legally elected, paradoxical as it may seem. This is not the first time in the his tory of this country that the popular vote has been overruled by the Elec toral College. In i860 the total Re publican vote was 1,857,610, while the Democratic was 2,787,780~a Demo cratic majority of 030,170—yet, owing to the unfortunate dissensions in the Democratic party at that time, their vote was divided among three candi dates, and the Republicans carried the Electoral College. Lincoln was elected, but clearly repre.-ented tbe political seutiiMeuts of only two-fmiis of the people of the United Stales. In 1824 Jackson was defeated by Adams, although the former hud a majority of 50,000 m the popular vote. But in this case the Electoral College did not give Adams tiie election. It was decided by the House of Repre sentatives, where each State lias only one vote, and Rhode Island has as much power as New York or Pennsyl vania. In 1876 Tilden had a popular ma jority of 250,000, but the Presidential office was given to Hayes by fraud, supported by the U. S. Army. It would seem from these historical facts, that the present cumbersome machinery of the Electoral College does not discover truly the wishes of the majority of the people. Rut at the same time, with the present dis tribution of political parties, it is evi dent that no Constitutional amend ment, changing the method of elec tion so as to make it more truly pop ular, can be passed. tSo we must be satisfied with wbat we have There were very severe snow storms over the New England and Middle States, last week.

Poultry Association. The Xe ro Problem. A poultry and pet stock association was organized in Charleston last week, with about 150 members from all parts of the State. The president is Judge G. S. Graham, of Lexington. A committee was appointed to solicit members throughout the State. Col.C E. Sawyt r is the committee man ap pointed for this section, and will take pleasure in gi\ ing any information re garding tiie objects of tbe association. The annual subscription for members has been fixed at $1.00. And it was decided to have a grand exhibition »f poultry, and stock in Charleston in Mareli next. liOgislativc Proceedings. Several political wiseacres have re cently been expressing their opinions upon the so-called “Problem” in tbe Sonth^ of which most of them are pro foundly ignorant. Their ignorance apparently gives them' confidence in their own opinions. Notably among i these is the Senator from Kansas, Mr. - Ingad^rsenthrks publish- w-.m! ed on another page shows the igno rance and prejudice to be expected. In the first place the negroes are not increasing as rapidly as the whites Usually those persons who assert that they are increasing more rapidly ackuowlege that they have not exam ined into the sulject statistically, aiffi carefully^- The accurate reports of Boards of Health of various southern cities show’ that while there are 17 1 ., lirths among the negroes to eveiy 10 among the whites, there are 22 deaths to every 10 among the whites. And the average duration of life among the negroes is only 27^ years against 39J'* years among tiie whites. The whites have accessions from constant immigration, from which the negroes are totally debarred. Knowing these facts we are satisfied tiie next census will demonstrate to Mr. Ingalls that the negroes are not increasing as ray idly as he thinks. Whether he will believe the truth of the demonstration is another matter. If he means by the expression that the Southern whites “have deliberate ly determined to eliminate the negro from their politics,” that we have de termined that they shall not rule us again, lie is correct. And we are sure that lie himself would be one of the last men to submit to their ignorance, and in morality. We have certainly determined that our “supeiior intelligence, wealth, and morality” shall remain supreme here, as these qualities should be su preme every where. It the facts were clearly shown, it would probably be seen that there is not so much fraud, aud oppression exercised at the polls in the iSouth as in the North. With us, negroes working for white men can, and do rote as they please, nearly always against their employers. Let a factory hand, miner or laborer of any kind try this at the North, and bow long would be hold his situation. As to the disfrauchisuient of the pegroes, we would most eajnestly op- Wednesday was election dav in the Legislature, when the following were elected: John B. Kershaw to be judge of the Fifth circuit, unanimously; T. J. Lips comb, superiutendant of the peneten- tiary, without opposition; E. B. Mur ray, trustee of tne university, unani mously; J. G. Guignard, J. W. An derson and W T. Brooker, directors of the penitentiary. The only actual opposition, with the exception of the directors of the penitentiary where it was a free fight,.was made on four of the five old members of the board of agriculture. The old members were re-elected by the following vote; J. S. Porcher, 104 James McCutchen, 139 W. A. Ancrum, 101 J. T. Moore, 114. The opposition put up the follow ing, who were recommended by the Farmer’s Convention, who received the vote given below: D. K. Norris, 45 W. T. C. Bates, 33 B. R. Tillman, 35 J. A. Hligh, 26 The small vote received by the op position candidates was a very great surprise, as it was believed that tiiey ddflg^pret-rpmrg k uuinpfiment- members of the several townships hereby recognized as and declared to be incorporated.

The bill is now before the Senate, hut will doubtless be passed. A bill has been passed to its third reading in the Senate to amend tne present Railway Law. so as to give tiie Railway Commission some real power and authority to regulate freight rates. In face ot the irresponsible railway combinations lately made, it is neces sary for the protect ion of tha people that tiie railway commission should be vested with much power. The general appropriation bill is now before tiie House, fixing the tax levy in each of the counties in the State. The levy for Aiken is for State purposes 6 mills, educational 2, county 2? 4 , and special 1, in all 11? 4 mills. There may however be some slight changes made before the bill is passed. A little affair occurred in the House which, tin ugh seen l>v but few, ere ated a considerable sensation. The Cook Creek bill, which has been a bone of contention in the House for some days, was again taken before the committee a day or two ago, and some testimony regarding it taken. Mr. Hawkins K. Jenkins, who is championing the bill, was of the opin ion that the committee did not do him justice, and while standing in the rear of the House made a remark about it in the presence of Mr. J. B. Morrison, a member of tiie committee on roads, bridges and ferries. Mr. Morrison resented what Mr. Jenkins said, with the remark: “Mr. Jenkins tiiat is not so.” As to what was said immediately after this, sentiments differ, but, in a moment, Mr. Jenkins struck Mr. Morrison in the lace, stag gering him buck. The affair was im mediately stopped, and nothing fur ther occurred. nail on the head, side every time. ami is on the right The State Senate has passed a bill making it a misdemeanor, punishing it by expulsion, for any member of the Legislature to accept a free pass from any railway company. The Bill will also pass the house. It is intend ed to prevent undue railway influ ence . Major A. B.

The direct tax hill, which passed the Federal Senate without opposi tion and was also passed by the House of Representatives yesterday, provides for refunding to tiie States and Terri tories the amount of the direct tax paid to the general government under Act of August 5, 1861, and for cancel ing the debts of those States that paid nothing, or only a part. South Carolina’s share of the refund will be $377,900. This will be scaled The Augusta Exposition closes to day. It had been hoped that it would have been kept open longer, but the exhibitors wished to get home before Chriiftinas, therefore it was thought best to bring the exposition to end. an Refugees are returning to Florida, aud tin* travel from the North has commenced. The Pullman Palace Car Company will run fifteen sleepers to and from Jacksonville during this winter. The Rev.

MURRAY, County Treasurer. Dec. 11, 1888. Dr. A. Sibley Campbell of Augn°ta‘ 1 died at his residence there on Frl ' ^ moining. Dr. Campbell was a we known and accomplished physicia in tiie prime of his life, and apparent ly had a very bright worldly career before him. ary The General Assembty was occu pied nearly four hours in these elec tions, aud there was no time for the transaction of other important work. The Clemsou Will came before the House on Thursday. The bill of Mr. Beuet to accept the bequest bad been reported upon adversely by a major ity of tiie Judiciary Committee Tiie bill was read through without other than a single clerical amend ment, when Major Brawley moved to postpone tiie consideration of tiie bill till the next session. He said under the terms of tiie bill tiie Slate had till April, IgiR, in which to accept the bequest. He assumed that tiie grand daughter of tiie testator was contest ing tiie will on the ground that tiie property was not bequeathed in ac cordance with the terms of the will of Mrs. Clemson, aud lie had been informed that tiie attorneys of Miss Lee had a good case. Tiiey desired to bring the ease to trial at tiie April term of tiie Court, and he saw no spe cial reason to he in a hurry in this matter. In April next, at least, tiie General Assembly would have tiie judgmtntof tiie highest judicial offi cer in the country. Mr. Brawley would not express an opinion as to the claims of the con testant, but he had been informed by an ex’attorney general of this Slate (Mr. Youmans, probably) that the lit igation was in good faith, and that counsel had good reason to hope for a decision in favor of tiie contestant. It was not contended that anything practical could be accomplished by tiie acceptance of tiie bequest at this time, and besides, be added, it would qean unseemly spectacle for tbe State of South Carolina to be engaged in litigation with a descendant of John C. Calhoun over the patrimony of that great statesman. Without ex pressing an opinion on the subject, he thought it best that action on the bill had best be postponed at least this session. Mr. Benet replied in opposition to Mr Brawley, amt urged tbe passage of the hill. Mr. Haskell asked what was tiie object of insisting upon passing this bill now—what would be accomplish ed by it? Mr. Beuet: “Bass this Act, and by it .South Carolina will have estab lished an agricultural college.” At this point tiie House was called upon to vote <>n tiie motion to post- thc bill until tiie next session. by commissuma to tbe special agents o? the State, Win.

The House Democratic caucus, on Thursday, after a session lasting over three days, adopted a resolution for tiie admission of Dakota into the Union, either in one or two States, as the people of Dakota shall decide, and for the admission as States ol Washington, Montana and New Mex ico also. It is proposed that these States shall all be admitted by one bill. Utaii, although not mentioned in tiie resolution, it was agreed, should he admitted into theUnion by a sep arate bill. The Church Year. The Church Year is one of the abl est religious newspapapers in the country, ably edited and successfully managed. It is tbe organ of the Epis copal Church in Florida, and is pub lished in Jacksonville, its special aim being the development of the Church in the dioceses of tiie South, but its good influence extends into all states, and communities where Episcopali ans are found. It is a sixteen-page weekly. Published at tiie low rate of $1 per year, It ought to be in tiie family of every church-man and es pecially in the South. Its ability, vigor, and enterprise should have am ple recognition and support. It needs this now more than ever before, for, like all other Jacksonville enterprises it has suffered financially during the prevalence of the fener. It is worthy ot note, that the officers of tiie Church Year Company have been foremost among true men who nave devoted themselves to the care of the sick aftd suffering, night and duy throughout the entire epidemic.

Second—There is no ease of Yellow Fever nearer to Aiken than Jack sonville, Fla., and a rigid system of quarantine prevents its nearer uppmaeli. Third—Even were all precautions abandoned immediately, the frosts already experienced here render infection imftossible.
