E. B. MURKAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, DtC'R 19, 1878. From Home cause or other of which om not advised, our Columbia le ter did not come to hand luis week. * We learn nj a telegram hom Columbia on Wednesday that Governor Hampton continues to improve ; that be slept and rested well on Tuesday night, and that he himself ic hopeful of his recovery. * THE BOND COURT. The bill introduced into the House by Mr. Callison, to abolish the Bond Court and thus re-open the consolidated debt question, was indefinitely postponed on last Monday by a vote of 67 yeas to 52 nays. This action of the H'?use seems to settle tho bond question, so tar as it is connected with the Bond Court, during the present session of the Legislature. That is, the Court will now render a de cision cither in favor of or against the bonds. The report of tho Bond Commis sion shows that a large proportion of the bonded debt of the State consolidated under the Act of 1873 was fraudulent, and the determination of tho people has been to repudiate these fraudulent claims. The valid debt of the State and tho fraudulent portion of it were blended promiscuously in tho consolidated bonds under the Act of 1873, and that, too, hy the corrupt Radical ofiicinls who then held office. Tho Bond Court was not established to determine whether or not the State should pay the fraudulent debt, but to separate it as far as possible front thc valid. In other words, thc functions of this Court aro to ascertain tho valid debt of the State, and having rendered its decision its powers terminate. Tho co-ordinate department of government must then act upon its decisions. Now, suppose that tho Bond Court, from thc want of testimony or from false testi mony, should decide against a bond that was just and valid, and this, after thc rendition of thc decision, should be made so clear that no doubt could bo enter tained, would it not bo the duty of the Legislature by law to make provision for tho payment of that just debt ? Would not honor and justico require that it should be paid. In such a caso aa this the honor of thc State Would indeed be involved. Again, ? H us suppose that the Bund Court from like causes should pro nounce certain bonds valid, which wero clearly and manifestly fraudulent, what then would bo ibo duty of tbe Legisla ture? Wo think to refuse to pay ouc cent of them. The honor of tho State demands that fraudulent cluims shall not bo foisted upon thc thousands of toiling taxpayers, who already havo as great a burden os they cun betr. and immutable justice forbids that tho poor man, thc widow and orphan, shall have the last aero of land taken from them, and the hist shinglo from over their beads, to pay unjust and fraudulent claims. If these fraudulent millions are imposed upon the people, then hundreds of the poor will bo turned out of house and homo to pay thom. Wo think it tho duty of tho Legislature to protect tho people, and wo believe they will do ?o by refusing to levy any tax fur the pay ment of tho interest on the consolidated bonds. This is to bo regretted, as tho holders of valid bou will bo unable to obtain the interest duo them until tho good bond? cnn bo separntcd from tho fraudulent, but it is certninly not tho fault of the taxpayers that thin state of things exists. * GRAND LO?UE, A.

Dunmore, colored, and two colored deck hands, Whose names are not known, - Death ie at all ti mr? sad. This feeling is intensified when tho death of one who waa beloved by all passes away. We ar? thus inipreasc-j in announcing tho death of Mr?. Julia Maxwell, of this Elace. wifo of Mr. Ssmcel J3, Maxwell. Ter death was very sudden of disease of the heart; Mrs. Maxwell had passed the meridian of lifo. During this period, by her gentle manners and Christian graces, she had won tbe respect and affec tion of nil who knew her. Ber remains were buried on Sunday; an inclement day, in ibo Baptist Oburih S?***-J>**A: after the beautiful Episcopal burial ser vices were read by Rev; Bfr. Logan. The largo attendance bita ?td tho deep feeling of the community, ?f njiy of her old servants, who had bern brought with her 'in ber youth from her homo in the tow country, followed her sadly and in grief to the gravo. Her bereaved family a:: ! friends'have tho sympathy of the satire community.-Kroioes Otmrirr, THE ISSI E ABOUT "TISSUE." Vi'lint U vu a tor lin'1er Ila? tu Kuy on the Subject. WASHINGTON, Dec 7. The Senate chamber waa nearly empty to-day, but two or three senator* sought it? solitude to bring up their arrears ol correspondence. Away out cn the rag ged edge of the Democratic side sat one -tali, and o? n military aspect even down to the cut nf bis clothes - who seemed to be nu object of curiosity to the little groups of spectators hanging about the doors. It was Gen. M. C. Butler, Senator from South Carolina. For near ly twenty years a prominent figure in bis own State, since thc day of the Ham burg massacre, with which bc had about as little to do us his namesake of Massa chusetts, he has been pretty well known throughout the country. It has been bis fortune to bc posted in the North as a Bourbon and a fire-eater, while consider ed at home almost too progressive and liberal for bis own good. Remembering that be conies from one of the districts sacred to the memory of tissue bul lots Mid colored blockade runner Smalls, I had a little talk with him on matters of current interest. "General, you, if anybody, are entitled to speak in tue name of the Democrats in South ('andina. What defence have your people tn mak? against the charges made in tho President's message?" "I should prefer," he replied, "to have something more specific to answer. But I have no disposition to dodge the issue, and will talk with you frankly. If such frauds were committed as are charged they invite most searching inquiry and the punishment prescribed by law." Till: TISSUE BALLOTS. "Have you any knowledge of the tissue p^per ballot operations that have be ci'ine so notorious?" "None in the world, sir, I assure you, except from hearsay evidence. I have no doubt, however, that there were frauds in South Carolina us in other Stutes, but I believe less there than else where. As to the tissue paper ballots, I never saw or heard of such a thing until long after the election. Furthermore, 1 know that to carry the State or any dis trict by fraud of uny kind was no part of tho plan of the campaign committee of my party. They did not authorize any such tactics, did not connive at them or even know of them. If ballot-boxes were Btu fled ii was both wicked and un necessary, and it cannot be that it was donn to any considerable extent. There was no trouble about our having things our own nay except the difficulty of get ting our own people out. For this pur pose only il was necessary to resort to such campaign resources as barbecues and uniformed processions. Thc Re publicans scarcely went through thc form of opposition. You know very well, I suppose, that they meda no nomi nations for Statu officers, and even al lowed sonic Congressional nominations io go by default." "But how about Smalls, the Republi can candidate from your own district, who disappeared under fifteen thousand Democratic majority, although his dis trict was supposed to be stronijly Re publican, ami always heretofore voted that way?" "There is nothing surprising in that when you know the facts. Isn't it ask ing a little too much, even of the poor darkies, to send a man to Congress who is a convicted and self-confessed thief, only out of the penitentiary by sufferance? Would you blame the people of Pennsyl vania, for instanco, for not voting for such a man, or consider it surprising if ho were overwhelmingly defeated? Why, in one of thc districts of your own State I understand there were some re markable political revolutions, much moro astounding. There was Governor Curtin, a man whoso integrity, ability and popularity are unquestioned. He rna as ino Democratic nominee in a dis trict with over threo thousand Demo cratic majority, and yet was returned beaten by a reputed ignoramus. Sup pose I ask you now to account for that, or for equally remarkable reversals of majorities in Maiuo and New York, wouldn't my demand be. n grout deal moro reasonable than yours ?" "Smalls did make a canvass, I sup pose 1" "Yes, hut what sort of a canvass was it? Why. ho never came into my coun ty nt nil, and it was scarcely known among tho negroes that he was running. In Harnwell the Republicans admit that there arc 2,00(1 colored Dem?crata. In Abbeville there would have betti no dis tribution of Republican tickets had not our people advanced th? money to nav the charges and get them out nf the ex press othee. Yes ; there is great misrep resentation about these matters. I prom ise that the whole truth s'uaii bu known. As to the tissue-paper ballots and ballot stuffing, I have caused unsparing inquiry to bo n"vJe, and whatever the truth may bo it shall be given to the public." "But will the perpetrators of fraud be punished?" "Of course they will-to t'.o full ex tent of tho Inw, and if the la v does not cover the ground it is not c". fault. The election law was framed by Repub licans, and wo tako it ns wc fina it. They organized hell in South Carolina and expect us to keep it straight. But I call your attention to the fact that, not withstanding all- tho chargea that have been made by partisan newspapor corres pondents, no protest or complaint of any irregularity has been filed with the State board of canvassers. Tho President, however, claims to bo very fully informed, and I should like to know what he has hoard and who are his informants. My own opinion >? that thi* outcry U but the premonitory tympton of a movement hiv ing for it? object the ultimate DISFRANCHISEMENT OF THE NEORO as a means of crippling the South. You may think that will never be done, but strange things havo happened, and the Republicans must do something to abridge tho representation of the South in Congress or their power will surely pass away. Why, in lexas alono wo will navo uvrr twenty membcro undc. a new reapportionment; other Southern and Western Democratic Statos will have their representation increased, while Now England must loso. It is to tho in terest of the South, and it is niso our duty, to protect the negro in tho right of suffrage, and whatever hot-headed and indiscreet people hero and there may do, wo propose to consult duty and interest. Rest assured that our vindication in this matter will bo completo." After this talk with Senator Butler I stumbled upon Mr. Tilman, Smalls's successsor in Congress, and a contestant for his seat in the present House. Mr. Tilman is a very different sort of man. He looks like (.ho Southern planter that you read about in anti-slavery novels. Hs is intelligent, but not very self-pos sessed, decidedly dogmatic in his bear ing, and rather intemperate in speech. "I tell yon, sir." said he, "that the peo plo of South Carolina are not going to nave any moro buck negroes to represent them in Congress, You folks seem to think that a white man bas no business here. Well, if you ?want negroes in Congress why don't the North send 'em oh? Wo'ro done with it. There'll bo no more of that on our aldo of tho river; they must come from the otherside of the Potomac." - Mr. B. B. Randall died at his home near Aiken on the 0th inst. Mr. Ren dad baa for tomo years bcon connected with journalism. He served on the Aiken Oourier'Journal aa long as his health permitted both as a typo and load editor. After his health was somewhat improved by a rest he connected himself with the Augusta Evening Nev?, and for a long timo his lively and spirited con tributions made ?ts .columns exceedingly joterestlng. From Washington. WASHINGTON, December 14. Secretary Sherman is-med a circular of instructions to-day with regard to tho ro Humption of specie payments on the 1st ol'January, in which, after quoting the third Bection of tho resumption act, he ?tates that as thc effect of tho above sec tion will be to remove all practical dif , fcreiice in the value of coin and United J States m*tes a fie i January Sst, no dislitic lion ?ill lu* made between them in keep- | inp; or settling the accounts of public officers involving transactions subsequent to that date. Matured coupons of the United States and checks of the United States treasury for interest or principal of the public tb bt legally payable in coin, will be paid in eoiu or notes at the option of the holder by the assistant treasury of the United States at New York City, or in notes by any other in dependent treasury officer. Such regi-> tercd interest legally payable in coin as is paid on schedules at other cities than New York will be paid to claimant di rectly in notes, if be so desire, by the of ficer charged with the payment ?if the schedule, or in coin by check oil the as si-tant United States Treasurer at Now York. Any cheek or draft hereafter drawn in payment of a publie obligation legally payable in coin will have that fact plainly noted thereon. WASHINGTON, December IC. In the Senate, the Chaplain in opi ning prayer, alluding lo the death of Princess Alice, said: "Oh! Lord, for all that mourn this dav alike in the palaces of Kings and in the lowly dwelling of the poor, wo beseech thy mercy and thy favor." A number of Hills were introduced during the morning hour and referred ; among them the following: Hy Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, for the erection of a fire-proof building for a national museum ; referred to Commit tee on Public Building and Grounds. Hy Mr. Grover, of Oregon, to regulate the employment of labor on public works of the United States ; referred to Committee on Commerce. Mr. Beek, of Kentucky, submitted a resolution that thc Secretary of the Treasury be directed and required to ap pear before the Senate in person on Wednesday next, at 1 o'clock p. m., to inform the Senate what reason, if any, he has for failing to answer the resolu tion of the Senate of the 3d of Decem ber, 1K78, in regard to the amount of sil ver coin received for customs dues, and whether bo has applied it or any part of it to the payment of interest on bonds and notes of thc United States ; and if not so applied, to state thc reason why, etc. During his remarks on the resolu tion, Mr. " ck said thc Secretary of the Treasury had increased the bonded debt of the United States to thc extent of $104,41)9,450 by selling bonds and hoard ing gobi. After a brief debate, the reso lution was laid over. At tho expiration nf the morning busi ness, tho Senate took up the resolution of Mr. Blaine in regard to citizens be ing deprived of their constitutional rights. After a brief debate of a collo quial character, thc amendment o fie red a few days ago by Mr. 1 hinman, direct ing further Inquiry ns tn whether any person has been dismissed from employ ment by reason of his vote, whether money was raised by assessment or other wise upon Federal office-holders or em ployees for tho election purposes, and also into the conduct of supervisors of elections, was agreed to without division. Mr. Coke, ot Texas, submitted a reso lution instru? ting tho Committee on thc Judiciary to examine into tho expedien cy of repealing all laws providing for compensation of United States Attorneys by means of fecs-nnd the passing of laws and fixing salaries for such officers; agreed to. After some opposition from thc Demo cratic side, ami an unsuccessful motion by Senator Mathews to take up the Texas Pacific bill, tho vote on that motion ho ing 2t> yens, to 30 nays, Blaine's resolution regarding the deprivation of citizens of their rights was taken up, tho question being on Thurman's amendment, which was agreed to without division. Conkling moved ns an nmendment that thc investigation be made by a se lect committee of nine instead of tho Judiciary Committee, which was agreed to. Mr. Blaine then submitted an amend ment authorizing the committee to take testimony hy itself or by nny sub-com mittee, and to visit nny portion of tho country when such visit may, in their judgment, facilitate any portion of the object of the inquiry. Butler, of South Carolina, moved to amcmi thu amendment BO as to provide i inti ino committee, cr any P."'* .commit tee thereof, snail sit with open doors. t ....... t .1 ? . ? . r .ii_.1 A Very MUlRlftteu tu-imi-n iiiiiimni. which was participated In by Messrs. Hutler, Kuslis, Bayard and others, con tending for an upon investigation. Butler's amendment was rejected by a voto of HO to 3D-a strict party vote. Subsequently, au amendment that the committee, or any sub-committee, should sit with open doors when requested to do so by any member of the committee, was also rejected by a strict party vote. Without further action, the Scnute ad journed until to-morrow. Thc discussion to-day was very aili mated, the Democratic Senators, and particularly Messrs. Butler, Merri mon and Ransom, persisting in tho demand for nu open Investigation, and Blaine contending against it with activity. SMALL'S BUMBRY CASK.-The Wash ington correspondent of thc Baltimore Sun says : Several days ago, through his cmnsel, Robert Smalls, tho colored Congressman from South Carolina, made application to Chief Justico Waite for a writ of error in his case to the Supreme Court of South Carolina. Smalld was tried and con victed in Hie State Courts on a charge of bribery and corruption and sentenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary. Ho made application to thc State Courts, under section of the revised statutes, fora removal of tho causo to thc United States Circuit Court. This application was decided, and banco the appeal to thc Supreme Court of tho United States, Day before yesterday lt was announced that thc Chief Justice had rcfusci to grant the writ, and yesterday it was annouueed that he had grunted it. Both these statements were unauthorized. Tho Chief Justice made up his decision to-day,and directed an order for tho writ of error to be issued. It is understood unofficially that tho Chief Justice was not altogether clear as to thc firopricty of granting tho writ of error, as t was not conclusively demonstrated that the case ca rac properly within 0??> provis ions of section 041. But it has long been the practico of the Justices of tho Supreme Court, as laid down by that eminent jurist, the late Mr. Justico Nelson, to give in such cases the benefit of the doubt to tho applicant. The writ as ir; ned ie not made roturnablo until thc next term of the court, which does not begin until next October. If proceed ings stop until thc return of tho writ thc effect would be to leave Mr. Smalls un disturbed in peivon and in mind for twelve months. But it is in the power of tho autharities of thc Suite of South Carolina, if so disposed, to reach a speedier determination of thc caso by tho Supreme Court. In ex parle Russell, reported in Thirteenth Wallace, the Supreme Court denied that a caso made returnable nt the next term could be dockotcd at tho present term on A mo tion to dismiss for want of Jurisdiction or for frivolous appeal. This, therefore, pi aces it In tho power of the Attorney General of South Carolina to make a motion nt once wbtoh wiil bring tho case before the court on it? merita. - Jim Watts, tho colored man shot by A.
