The stringency in the money mar ket that has existed for some length of time in the North is now being se riously felt throughout the South. It Is now as difficult to get money from the hanks in any Southern or Western town as from those in Wall street. “Secretary Windom said the other day that within the last four or five months between $75,000,000 and $80,- 000,000 had flowed out of the treasury Into the country, and that never be fore in the history of the government, in an era of peace, had the treasury disbursed so much in so short a time. And yet the effect has been scarcely appreciable. “And, besides the amount paid out by the treasury, at least $100,000,000 has come into th.e country from Eng land and the continent for cotton, and many millions more for other pro ducts exported. All this money must be in the country, but where is it? “Others of the financiers say that there is no scarcity of currency; that there is front $80,000,000 to $100,000,000 more in the hands of the people and the banks than there was twelve months ago, and a great deal more than was ever in circulation at any other period of the history of the country. And they give facts which appear to be convincing. The money, they say, that should be easy to ob tain is locked up in the banks, and in the vaults of the safe deposit compan ies, and is being hoarded by the people." One of the reasons assigned for the condition is a a’aut of confidence But with good crops, why should want of confidence exist? It must be recollected that this shaking of cm fidence did not first manifest itself in this couqt r y. The first shock was given some months ago in South America, then in London, when the great house of Baring Brothers went to the wall. Since that occurrence failures have been numerous in this Country, and the monetary strin geucy has become more and more severe. In the interior towns of the South the situation is really serious. The cotton crop is a large one, but prices are now low, and farmers can not sell except at a loss; and while they hold their crops they can not get money advanced upon them, as the bunks have not got it to let out. The result is that there is less actual cash in active circulation here than there has been for some years. While this is very trying it may not be a disad vantage i;. the end, as it is a condi tion that compels economy. Mercan tile panics do nqt usually follow a period of monetary stringency, and enforced economy, such as we are now passing through, but rather one of inflation, when money is abundant and speculation encouraged by easy money is rampant. ' The outbreak among U e Indians In the Northwest seems to have taken place at last. On Tuesday Sitting Bull’s camp was attacked by the res ervation police, supported by s< I soldiers, and Sitting Bull himself and several Indians were killed, with loss of two or three on the part of the police. The rest of the Indians fled. On Wednesday a telegram was ceived from Denver, Colorado, stating that a cavalry command was attacked by hostile Indians, and 52 soldiers were killed. The Indians were pulsed with great loss. Other troops are marching to the resene. The proceedings of the present Legislature are particularly interest ing to our readers, and we ask atten tion to the full reports we publish each week^ LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. THE 1)1 The Press of the the Act^ From The Greenville News?" The history of the whole busiu is that Hampton's place was wanted,' that Mr Irby wanted it, and that Governor Tillman decided that his in terests demanded that Mr Irby should have it. For those reasons—no doubt considered in these peculiar times' W i, 0 |j ap ,pt on i, e returne j The Penitentiary Management Ap- proved. In the Senate on Monday the bill to abolish the office of Jury commission er was unfavorably reported. Senator Stokes introduced a bill to create a new’ county out of portions of the counties of Lexiinrton and Or angeburg, to be known as Calhoun. In the House of Representatives Col. Irby resumed his duties as Speaker. The proceedings were with out any special feature of interest, but to-day being the last day for in troducing bills except by committees, there was a big rush of new’ measures Among these were the following, which were read by title and referred to appropriate committees. Mr. Connor, bill to punish frauds or misrepresentations in .the manufac ture, analysis or sale of fertilizers and commercial manures iu this State. Mr. Norton, a bill to provide for the sale of the lot and building known as agricultural hall, the fish pond lot and the agricultural experimental stations with their personal property, at Columbia and in Spartanburg and Dailington counties, and to appro priate the proceeds thereof. Mr. Child’s a bill to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors in this State. The purpose of this measure is to prohibit the sale of spirituous liquors within the State. Twenty-seven bills, which were passed on Saturday, were read a third time and sent to the Senate. The only third reading measure which did not pass was the joint reso lution to ratify the amendment to the Constitution * abolishing boards of County commissioners.- A two-thirds vote of the whole House was required to ratify the amendment and the vote stood 64 to 23, which liked 19 votes of the necessary number. The vote was subsequently reconsidered and the matter is left open until some time when there shall be a larger number of members present. There is deci ded opposition to the ratification of the amendment and it may turn out that it will fail. If ratified it will be by a very close shave. The House did good work iu clear ing the Calendar and a large number of bills were read a second time. In the House on Tuesday the fol lowing bills passed the third reading: The factory bill to limit the hours of labor and'to ptevent the employ ment of children under 16 years of age. The bill to ratify the amendment to Article 4 of ihik constitution, by re peaTTPg " piovfffH^^WP board of county commissioners. The bill to abolish the office of court good and sufficient—the caucus rule was applied, the caucus line was drawn, the caucus whip was plied savagely, and all the pressure the ad ministration could command was bt ought to bear against Hampton and Donaldson. The indications are that both the defeated parties have their fighting blood stirred. Senatot Hampton re fused to make a concession or a prom ise, to write a letter, speak a word, or allow his friends to make an organ ized effort in his behalf. He went before the Legislature on bis record and asked a voluntary recognition of bis claims or a square repudiation. It is whispered here that bis purpose was and is to appeal to the people in the next State canvass, and, if he lives, to make sueh a campaign as has never been known iu Bouth Caro lina. He intends to die with an assu rance of the love and confidence of his people received directly from them after full hearing, or with their square, direct repudiation of him. He is ready to meet that chance. The spirit of battle is hot in him. There is no yielding or mortification or mo ping in his course. He is Hampton the fighter, stung to the fighting point, and he is coming with an old time Hampton swoop in 1892. From The Xews and Courier. The defeat of Wade Hampton yes terday was worse than a crime—it was a political blunder which will turn loose upon this devoted State, unless we much mistake the temper of our people, a flood of political evils the wreck whereof no man can measure. We wish that we could control the passions of the hour; would that we could find words with which to ex press the righteous indignation that must fill every patriotic breast; would that we possessed that humility of I spirit which would enable us to con ceal tne mortification that we feel at this latest manifestation of ingrati tude. But the deed is done, the poli ticians have prevailed over the people, the midsummer madness has ended in a winter’s tragedy. It would, in deed, have been a nobler thing had Hampton’s enemies slain him in open combat than to have sought his over throw by the easier methods of the midnight caucus. What we wish to say now is that Hampton’s defeat does not destroy his hold upon the affections of the people. He is stronger to-day than he was yesterday; he will be stronger next year than he is to-day, and when the sound of the fantastic parade has died away in the distance and the people begin to ask them why Wade Hampton was driven out of public life, there will he a casting up of ac counts between the people and the powers that he. reputation of a fighter, half a dozen occasions, le town council of Laurens; My wanted to fight. He le public square with his ?fied arrest; but that was to this, too r he was pres- r iKilgore was killed, hut af- )g several years where the d not find him, while a re offered by the Governor and satisfied the jury that he did not do any fighting on that occasion After this he disagreed with a poor painter at Lautens, and brought up a negro from his plantation, whom lie made whip this white man, while he stood by with drawn pistol. Even that was not fighting, as Trial Justice Parrott decided. He had a difficulty with a Trial Justice on the streets and was thrown on his back by this Trial Justice. But that cannot be properly designa ted fighting. Lateson, it is true, in company with his brother, the Inteudant of the town, the two did approach the Trial Justice unawares, and some ug ly gashes across the face of the afore- sateUXcial Justice were left as remind era; but the evidence was that the brother did this, and certainly the act of a brother ought not, against g.ich a preponderance of evidence, be used td make for this man the reputation of a fighter. We have not a doubt hut that the friends of Gen. Hampton have found many things to urge against Col. Irby, but they should stick to the facts. Col. Irby declared publicly, in a speech in the writer’s presence, that not one iota of conservatism could justly be attributed to him. He is khowu to he overbearing and a bully but even these do not justify the cor- respoudent iu telegraphing the Con stitution thatCoi. Irby’s reputation was made as a fighter. The policy of this paper is to give every man his dues. We have spoken plainly of matters which are of record. The Legislature may do worse than elect Col. Irby; but to he candid, and speaking from a somewhat intimate knowledge of his life for the past ten years, the writer has serious doubts if such a thing be possible. In kls inaugural address Governor Tillman condemned the management of the Penitentiary, and said “the re cent purchase of a faim which is sub ject to overflow is contrary to law, and therefore to be condemned.’’ A committee was, therefore, ap pointed by the House ot Representa tives, with Dr W. H. Timmerman as chairman, to examine into and report upon the management of the Peni tentiary. In the House on Monday Mr Timmerman reported that the committee have given such consider at ion to the subject matter, and have made such investigation into the con dition and*working of the Peniten tiary as opportunity has afforded them, and that they have discovered nothing discordant with the state ment made in the reports of those charged with the institution. They havu visited and examined, through a sub-committee, the DeSaussure plantation recently purchased by the board of directors of the Penitentiary, and from the information thus ob tained regard the purchase a wise and judicious one, and within the law guarding such purchase. So another one of Gov Tillman’s charges is knocked down by honest investigation. We trust that the Leg islature will not stop with the Peni tentiary, but will subject every de partment and institution of the State to the closest examinatioi:. The Women for Hampton. The Ladies’ Memorial Association of Richland County met in Columbia on Saturday last for the purpose of expressing their regret and indigna tion at the defeat of Gen Hampton for United States Senator, and passed resolutions condemning the action of the Legislature as misrepresenting tne sentiment of the people of the State. On Monday the Ladies’ Memorial Association of Charleston met for the same purpose, and denounced the ac tion of tne majority in the Legislature as base ingratitude. They further re solved that it would be difficult to re gard any Confederate veteran who voted against Hampton other than as “A fixed figure for the hand of scorn To point his slow, unmoving finger at.” stenographer in the circuit courts has been unfavorably reported. This_ is comtne il faut. The ways and means committe to day reported the supply bill for the year beginning Nov. 1, 1890. The State levy is placed at 4% mills, ex clusive of the public school tax. This is >2 mill less than last year. The levy for Aiken county is 3^ mills, for ordinary county purposes, and ^ mill for past indebtedness. Mr. Whatley made a lengthy speech on the bill to prohibit giving as se curity or taking a« security, anv lien or mortgage on ungathered crops It was indefinitely postponed on Mr. Harrison’s motion. In the Senate the several commit tees reported favorably on bills: To authorize the Governor to remove from office sheriffs who wilfully fail to prevent lyrehingaud acts of vio lence to prisoners in their keeping: to punish fraud and misrepresenta tion in the manufacture, analysis and sale of fertilizers; to allow benefi ciary cadets to teach in other thau their native counties in the discharge of their matriculation obligations. The hill to prevent liens on crops, except the landlord’s Ih-n for rent, was killed. At noon Wednesday the Senate and the House of Representatives met in joint assembly in the Hall of the House of Representatives for the pur pose of electing a Superintendent and three Directors of the State Peniten tiary, the result of which is given elsewhere. Having finished the work before it, the joint assembly dis solved. In the House the committees re ported unfavorably on the following: On Mr Wilson’s railroad bill. On the bill to establish a board of police commissioners for Charleston On the bill to allow the Governor to remove Sheriffs. The bill to prohibit the carrying by express companies of any mutter in tended for or coming from lottery com panics. \t the night session of the House a most unprecedented proceeding was sprung by Mr John Gary Evans. It was the taking up ot administration bills out of their regular order, and passing them to the neglect of other business. This proceeding called fortli a vigorous protest from Col J. C. Haskell, who denied the right of the House to take such a course. He was overruled, however, by Speaker Irby, and the whole raft of admiuis- tion measures as written out by Mr Evans were then taken up out of their regular order and made special or ders. " From The Augusta Chronicle. The defeat of Gen Wade Hampton resents some remarkable phases, outh Carolina is probably the only | State in the Union which could pre sent such a scene. Gen Hampton re- funfed to go to Columbia where the election was to be held, and did not make any effort to secure his own re- to organize in his behalf, and assume! the high ground that his record ant claims were known to the people. It\ was for them to decide upon the suc cession. Is there a single Northern or Western State where such a thing was possible, or is there another j Southern State which furnishes such example? The high conduct carries one back to the days of Troup and McDuffie, when the office sought the man. In our opinion, the Tillman party has made a mistake. From The Richmond Times. The South Carol! na Legislature have defeated.Gen Wade Hampton for United States Senator, and sent Mr John Laurens Irby in his stead. The people of that State may know what they are doing, but one thing is certain, they have deprived them selves of a representative in the high er House of Congress who commands universal respect, and has served his section and people for years with fi delity and ability. They will, in all probability, live to regret their ac tion ; but States, as well as individu als, do not always know when to let well enough alone.

Few incidents have given the peo ple of Aiken County more gratifica tion than the recent election of Geo. W. Croft, Esq., to the presidency of the Bar Association of South Caro lina. As tliis community has long known him to be a lawyer of unusual ability, possessing the high standard of honor that must be the foundation for the obtaining of high position in his honorable profession, the recogni tion of these facts as shown by his se lection is particularly gratifying. Capt J. Wardlaw Perrin, of AUbe- I ville, died last Saturday evening about 6 o’clock. Captain Perrin was tiie oldest son of the late Thomas C. Perrin, and lias held tiie office of County Treasurer since 1876. He was about 56 years of age. The state alliance bank has received its commission. Tiie corporators, D. P. Duncan, John R.

He was first before the State conspicu ously as a violator of her laws. The story of his earlier manhood was a story of violent village brawls, of unseemly disturbances of the peace of his own County. The official records stand to show it. His faults were not so grievous that they could not be atoned for and wiped from remem brance by a later life of honor and usefulness. He has served one or two terms in the Legislature. He was a leader in the Tillman movement, one of the lenders in aggression against the conservative spirit of the State, one of the foremost in stirring the strife that has divided our people and exposed us to grave dangers in the past and forced upon us problems which all our statesmanship, courage and patience will be taxed to solve. In the victory of his faction he was among the earliest and most vehe ment in demanding a large share of the spoil.?. The State government has streueously supported him in those demands, and be has been made first speaker of the House of Repre sentatives, then United States Sena tor. His election is a victory for the violent, extreme element of the* ad ministration party over the more moderate and sober element, and a victory lor the lawyers and politicians who are playing Tillmanism for ail it is worth over the honest and patriotic element which conscientiously ac cepted Tillmanism as a means.of re forming and bettering the State and elevating the people. Col. Irby As a Fighter. From the Spartanburg Herald. Of all the strange things that have happened in this wonderful year of political surprises the most remarka ble is the rise of Col. John L. M. Irby, of Laurens, when we consider the general make-up of the man and his record. But a recent dispatch to the Atlanta Constitution states that he has the reputation of being a fighter. That is saying a little too much. Col Irby has, as yet, done nothing TAX NOTICE! Office County Treasurer, A. C.) Aiken C. H., 8. C., Dec. 16,1890.)
