"TB. D. M?tt?AY, Editor. THURSOAY M0RNIN6, JUNE 6, 1879. Thc Republicans of Ohio havo nomi Haled Ho?. Charlea Foeb r for Governor, I which shows that they intend muling a prudent and determined light for the con trol of thc lluek-eyo State. Mr. Feater is an able and conservative man, and will make thc strongest race possible for bi? party. If, however, the Democrats put up a judicious ticket it is more limn prob able that they will carry the Slate. The election is a very important one in its effects upon the Presidential race of next year._ Illinois has a novel liquor law which is Founded upon very sensible theory. It provides for a vote in the towns and towuspipe of the .State upon tho question of granting licenses. On this both male and female citizens aro allowed to vole, from which wo predict that very few licenses will be granted, for ladies favor temperance nine Union out of ten. They arc the ones most seriously affected by iutcmperance, and it is very proper that they should bc consulted ns to the sale of intoxicating liquors. Tho indications are that Congress will certainly at tho next session adopt an in come tax. A bill providing such a sys tem is now pending, but its advocates could not obtain thu two-thirds vote nec essary to take it up out ol the regular or der. A large majority, however, voted in favor of it, and hence when it is reached there is very little doubt of its adoption. The operation of thc bill will not bo unfavorable to the South, for there are not a great many men in this section whose incomes would bc greater than tho amount exempted from taxa tion. Tho silver bill has been amended in thc Senate so as to mnkc fractional silver currency a legal tender up to ten instead of twenty dollars, and to strike out the provision making it receivable for stamps to thc sum of three dollars. Other un important amendments were made and the bill now returns to thc House, where will be concurred in, nfter which thc President will no doubt veto it. Thc bill is a necessary and wiso one, which meets thc wants of tho people, and ought to receive thc President's signa ture, but as he has becomo thc watch-dog of tho Republican party bc considers it his duty to defeat as far as possible all rzood laws. Individuals of small statue and strong mind frequently terrify and control much larger persons arno possess weaker wills. It also appears to bc truo in politics. Tho Republican minority in Congress, by its determined position, has so wrought upon tho timidity of the Democratic majority that our party may now bo said to bo in full retreat. It is to bo hoped, however, that something will, as Mr. Micawber would express it, "turn up" to the advantage of tho Democratic major ity, which will enable us to stumble into electing another President. Possibly, as we havo both tho Senate and tho House of Representatives now wo might be ablo to inaugurate a President if elected, provided the Republicans do not cry out that tho South will bo responsible if a Democrat ?B inaugurated, in which event we have no doubt.some Southern states men, so-called, would think wo had bet ter let tho Republicaus'havo their way "thia time," and reservo tho right to "nppeu'i to the people." Tho Pickcns Sentinel says : " Corn is scarcer in this section at this timo thnr. wo havo known it for soveral years, and sells readily at 75 cents cash, or one dol lar on time. The wheat crop in this section is promising, and if no disaster befalls it breadstuffs may declino some what when tho crop harvested. Thc aren sown is as large ns usual. Good seasons of rain have fall jn in this sec tion, and cotton, ?om, r.nd all k'iida of v.-getation have been greatly benefited thereby." This is tho situation in many other Counties, also, except that the price of com is considerably higher, and from tho large amount of cotton planted and thc small amount of corn, wo fear that it will continuo so for a long time to come. Our pcoplo aro wonderful in this respect. They raise largo quantities of cotton, a very largo per cent, of which goos to Western farmers, while tho rail road! also receive a share for freights. It uns become a habit, however, and it is difficult to convinco people that it is not best to raise all cotton. The question is, Who got tho Demo crats into the present Congressional muddle? Wo hear of plenty of distin guished gentlemen who did not favor tho movement, hat wo are at a loss to know how it was carried in caucus with so few persons to voto for it, and against the wishes of so many Democratic Senators and Representatives. We wonder if tho programme could have been counted in by means of tissue tickets, or somo other irregularity (7) ll so, an investigating committee "should immediately bc ap pointed and the fraud exposed, in order to vindicato tho consistency of Demo cratic Congressmen who aro now, and of course have always been, opposed to tho programme heretofore carried out. In seriousness, however, wo suggest to thoso who wish to appear opposed to tho policy, but did not express themselves in that way at the beginning, that the best thing in ey can du is io make as ?itrio fuss over their ideas as possible. The time to toll what they thought has passed. Tho Democratic masses are in no temper to take as foresight in this matter what is nothing more nor less than the moat in excusable demagoguery in those who measure their views by results, and not by the issues as they arise. It is not likely to redound to the credit of the mah who prates about hie opinions when the issue is reached, but is acquiescent in another course before, or who shows that he has no other insight of public measures than that which he gots by looking behind. - Gen "Joe" Johnston, once lieuten ant-general of the Confederate Army, ofc lere?! tho resolution yestcrdnv under which the House of Representatives ad j vorned In honer of Decoration Day. It was a grateful-act.--JV. Y. Tribune, Mau 30. ' Tli? action of tho Democratic party, an announce?.! in thc programme clse whore, is likely to prove a greatbli?nrlc'r for it virtually recede fi ? iii Inc position assumed hy t?t? party, and at the lame Mme oilers the President another oppor tunity of putting in a veto, which he will no doubt avail himself of, to the utt?'r confusion of thc Democracy. if wc cannot pass the appropriation bil!? with the riders on ns H permanent law, we cannot pass them with What is tanta mount to t berti for one. year. A veto from Hie President on this ground would confuse us more Mian all the others com* bined. If Congress would puss both appropriation bills with the riders on them, and adjourn without waiting for the President's signature, Lhe respon*i bility of withholding supplies from tho government would he shifted from the shoulders of tho Democratic party to those of the HcpUhllcatl President, where it really ought to rest now. Il is not the Congress, which offers tho supplies under wholesome restrictions, that is blocking the government, but it is thc Republican President who asserts hi? will as t-trongor than the wishes of thc representatives of the people. Instead of defending our action, wc ought to ht raiding a tempest of popular indignation against the undue use of power on th? part of Mr. Hayes. If Henry' Clay, who in his day am time was considered pre-eminently i conservative man, had ??ved in this agi ho would certainly not have sai '. : "Tin great principle which lies at thc founda lion of all free governments is that th majority must govern, from which then is nor can be no appeal but thc sword That majority ought to govern wisely cipiitably, moderately and constitution ally; but govern it must, subject only t that terrible appeal." A popp in at th present session of Congress would immc .liately convince the departed statcma that he was mistaken, for we see minor ty controlling the majority, who in dc crencc to their wishes, hack down froi thc measures passed, and actually crinij before that minority, to thc extent ( claiming that in attempting the propose changes in the law they had no ?dea i enforcing them, if they were sufficient! distasteful to thc Republican minority I induce thc President to withhold h signature. Our course ot thc tin when Tilden was elected President I more than a quarter of a million major ty, and yet Mr Hayes obtained the ofhc would also confirm him that he was mi taken. Mr. ('lay, however, would i doubt have n contempt for the majori which would he run over in such a ma uer, ami if we do not mimi Unit is ii feeling which the course of our par will engender in the public estimation. President Hayes keeps bis vertebra' 0 properly regulated tension, and as fn as Congres* sends him appropriation bi! ho politely returns them "without 1 signature with his objections thereto His latest exploit in this direction in ll veto of the civil servico appropriate bill, on the ground that he dons not li riders on appropriation hills in gencrj 1 nd especially becouse ho does not li tue riders on this bill in particular. I1 clatiso taking away from nupervisors t right to moko arrests occupies a lar share of his attention, which ho devol to insisting that the low ia constitution when that fact is not under bis ennsidi ntion, except 'in his own imaginado and after he has, to bis own satis fact i( proven tho constitution of the existi lnw, be proceeds to argue ita expediert on the ground that it tends to preset law, order, peace, security of the bal and fair elections in about the some mr uer that tho Republican Senators a Representatives spoke in Congr?

It is hardly necessary for me to say that I am in favor of perfect freedom of elections from the interference or the presence of any part of the army at the polls, because that opinion was emphatically expressed on the door of the Senate. Tins is a Government of legal authority founded on thc Constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof, tine ol thc grievances which our forefathers complained was that the King had quartered troops on them, and sought hy military power to coerce them into submission.

Very truly, "DAVID DAVIS. "The Hon. William A. Day and the Hon. Charles Hobinson, House of Rep resentatives, Springfield, III." CHANCING FRONT IN ACTION. Ttl?* New ri.in of the Dennie! ul* tn Coll grenu. WASHINGTON, May Kl. The two advisory committees of the House and Senate Democratic caucuses heh,! a joint meeting to day, and reached a substantially unanimous agreement BS to the course of action that should be adopted by thc dominant party with re gard to the appropriation bills. After a very full interchange of views and an especially minute examination of the President's veto'messages in connection with sundry existing statutes prohibiting interference hy the army with elections, it was decided to recommend thc ?inme diate passage of a hill making the usual appropriations for the support of the army throughout the fiscal year,but con taining a proviso that no portion of thc money therein appropriated shall be used for thc pay, transportation,equipment,or subsistence of any troops used ?br police purposes to keep peace at polls. It was further decided to recommend thc pa<sagc of the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation hill in substantially the same terms as last year's bill, and for the same amount*, except that they shall be more minutely specified, and except also that it shall not make any provision for the pay of supervisors or deputy marshals of elections. The new bill will, however, contain a clause proving that no office shall be ap pointed, or obligation Incurred, for any object for which a specific appropriation shall not have been made by Congress. This clause is already on thc statute book, with the exception of thc words "or obligation incurred," and there is also a law existing which prohibits the division of any appropriation to any other purpose than that for which it has been specifically made. The committees agreed to recommend the passage of a separate measure embodying those sec tions of tho vetoed bills which provide for amendments of tho law concerning tho method of drawing juries, and for the total abolition of thc jurors' test oath. In view of the fact that tho President, in his veto message, makes no comment ou these, it is believed that he will prompt ly approve them when presented in un independent bill. lt was also argued to-day, in behalf of the adoption of the programe above out lined, that the President cannot justifia bly withhold his signature from an ap propriatiou bill merely because it omits to make provision for a particular object, and that, in thc anticipated event of his appioving thc present bills, tho Demo crat will haro accomplished for thc next year exactly what they would have ac complished for au indefinite period of time by thc former bills, and what they may continue to accomplish by similar legislation as they remain in power. The joint meeting was adjourned until Monday, by which time thc recommen dations agreed upon will have boen pro mulgated in appropriate phraseology hy aaub-comnti tee, consisting ol Senators Thurman, K .ton. Vance and Dailey, and Representatives Chalmers, Springer, lur ing and Heuglin, and submitted for final approval preparatory to their presenta tion to the joint caucus of the Democratic members of both Houses, which will probably bo held on Monday evening. In response to objections raised by a few of those who participated in thc meeting that thc adoption of this policy would bc construed as backing down on the part of thc Democracy, its advocates mado the point that, although there have been individual utterances in favor of withholding supplies in the event nf a failure to secure the enactment of Un political clauses originally embodied in tho appropriation bills, it is not true that any such stand has ever boen taken by authority of the party. Oil the contrary the question whether such stand should bo taken has never been acted upon by a Democratic caucus of either branch of Congress, or bj a caucus committee until this afternoon. Judge Mackey beforo the Wallace Committee. WASHINGTON, May 28. T. J. Mackey, Circuit Judge i. South Carolina, testified before thc Wallace Committee that he was in affiliation with the Republican party until 18tjtj, when ho left it. He was present at thc election for Stato officers, Presidential electors and Congressmen in Chester, in 187t>. and was called on to interpose his official authority to check iiitcrtcrenco by the miltt^y aud deputy mar .hal.-, at the polls. Several deputy marshals declared their purpose to carry the election for thc Republicans, and exhibited n circu lar, purporting to be signed by Attorney General Taft, addressed to United Slates marshals, to disregard tho process of State courts. At 2 o'clock tho chief deputy marshal, ut the head of a band of colored men, assaulted tho voters at Car mel, tearing Hayes and Hampton tickets from their hands. Several who refused to surrender their tickets wero knocked down. Ho subsequently saw thc military (nineteen men of the 18th Infantry) mareh into the Court House yard, form ing in two linea. Voters were required to pius to thc polls under fixed bayonets. On complaint to witness that voters were interfered with by the military, he issued a warrant for the arrest of Lieutenant Hinton, who commanded thc detach ment. The Sheriff made a verbal report that Hinton stated he had bccil sum moned by the chief deputy Inarshnl to bring tho troops to the polls; that there wero no breacher except such as were committed by the deputy marshals who had taken ballots from voters ; mid fur ther, that Hinton declared ho wan in formed that violence was imminent at the polls, and that there had already been a breach of the peace, mid asked io be saved the disgrace* of arrest, prom ising he would remove his troops to the rear of the court houso. Thia having boen done, witness instructed the Sb-crin to take no further action. SOUTH CAROLINA NKYYS. <. !. .1 ul nc." front our Mato ITIHIHI;.?..

Trouble in Tennessee. NASHVILLE, May 26, 1870. Saturday and yesterday fourteen men (four whites and ten blacks) were arrest ed near Murfreesboro on the charge of having boen guilty of burglary, robbery, arson ami murder. Great excitement has since prevailed, and things have looked rather stormy for the prisoners, thc indignation of the public having boen stimulated by the confession ot John Hall and Burrell Smith that they were together at the killing of Major Pugh about a week ago. Things have taken such a serious turn that, in answer to dispatches from the authorities, Gov ernor Marks went to Murfreesboro this afternoon, and to-night delivered a strong speech, urging the people to join with him lu an honest, earnest effort to uphold and enforce the law. The removal of the prisoners to an adjoining county for safe-keeping had been suggested. He wanted to confer with and rely upon the feople to guard their own prisoners, le. intended to give them every assist ance in his power to enforce, uphold anil vindicate thc law. He pleaded with them not to stain his administration by ? vio lation of law. He pleaded with them ?ri the most forcible manner to let the law take its course, pledging them a special term of the Criminal Court for the purpose of having a criminal trial. Four prominent citizens ulso made speeches in favor of thc law. The crowd manifested impatience to learn when the trial would bc set. The Governor left Murfreesboro at 10 o'clock. Thc suc cess of his mission is a question upon which there is a diversity of opinion. MURFREESBORO, TENN., May 27.-At II SO P. M., great excitement prevailed here. Immense crowds were on the streets, expressing n determination to hang three or four robbers. A whole sale lynching is expected to occur before 3 A. M. THE QUININE MONOPOLY I--Cannot tito Southern Congressmen turn their strength to good uccount by insisting on the repeal of the import duty on qui niue? About 1,200,000 ounces of quinine are consumed annually in thc United States ; nearly all of it is manufactured in Phila delphia ; the import duty is 00 cents an ounce, which amount is added lo thc ?uiniue manufactured in this country, n this way over .-'700,000 go into thc pockets of two firms in Philadelphia, commonly supposed to be worth $10,000, 000 each. They ?et this bonus, in addi tion to their regular profits on the manu facture of the quinine. Will thc Southern members stan'', it? They know the sweet uses of the bitter drug. The ox-Brigadiers know thc ex act taste and peculiar virtues of quinine and whiskey. They are aware that life without quinine is hardly worth having. Free trade in quinine, therefore, will he a popular cry, and, if lhere is Revolution in demanding it, the Philadelphia job bers and the Protectionists must make the best of it.-Charleston News and Cou rier. - Ry the death of his ?ister Vice President Wheeler is left entirely alone in the world, without family, his wife having died at Washington in 1S7?, and no children ever having been born to bim, and without kin, except n solitary cousin, a clergyman, of PitLsburg, who discovered his relationship during tho Presidential campaign of 187G. - The discovery of the extent to which colorblindness prevails emphasizes the advantage ot adopting some system of railroad signals independent of color.
