E. B. MURKAY, Kditor. THURSDAY, JUNE 0, 1881. TBRMSt ONU YEAR..~.?1.60. SIX M0STH8...... IBo. Two Do lia ra If not ?aid In advance. ?TRANGE, IF TOCK. Tbe correspondent of Ibo Newt ant Courier of a recent date eays that tht State Financial Board baa offers for tb? State's stock in the Augusta and Knox ville Railroad, but that the persons bid ing and the amounts offered are with held and that the Comptroller Genera] was authorized to receipt and act upon such bids as be deemed best. This seeme to us a little strange, and knowing Gen eral Bralton as well as we do, we e.*p*>c( to see him refer the whole matter where it belongs-to the next Legiblciure, As far as wo can ascertain, tho Financial Board has no right to sell this stock. Il belongs to ibo State, Bnd the Comptroller General is only its custodian, not it? owner. It also seems rattier arbitrary for this Board to refuso to allow the peo ple of South Carolina < - know what it bid and who are tho parties desiring lc purchase atock belonging to tho people, Tho secrecy which these gentlemen maintain on this question is unjuBtifiab' arbitrary, and any ajdo mado by their would bo an usurpation of authority. I the State paris willi her stock, it shoult bc disposed of to ?orne corporation orin dividuals who are in friendly accord will the interests of the State, and tho people along tho lino of the road. These ar? questions of S?nto policy which arc mon important than a few cents on tho dollin in. the sale of stock, and ahouV' not bc neglected or overlooked. . Tho fc>L.te haii better hold the stock than to allow it tc pass into the bands of any corporation unfriendly to tho best interests of thc people moat directly interested, oven if ii handsome price could bo obtained tor il by such a sale. A Q VEST ION AJILE ARRANGEMENT. Tho New York Tribune ia ju? ; now miserable over a sensational di' -A very that tho Democrats are arranging r> Beize the Senate, by means of a combi. lion with tho Greenbackers and one non affiliating Republican. Tho complexion of tho House, as it stood after the last election according to tho Tribune, was Republicans, 147 ; Democrats, 130 ; Re adjuster Democrats, 2 ; Greenbackers, 8 ; vacancy, 1. Total, 146. Several vacan cies have occurred by deaths and resig nations, so that if tho Democrats gain ono member, and can control the Green backers, they will bo ablo to elect tho Speaker and officers of tho House. The Tribune, however, says tbat Speaker Ran dall is arranging to bo the next Speaker, oven if no Democratic gain is made. It asserts that he will be able to secure tho vote of Mr. Brumm, of tho Thirteenth Pennsylvania Diatrict, who was elected by a union of tbe Republican and Green back vote. Thc obstacle in the way of this plan is suggested to bo that certain Southern Democrats who do not like Mr. Randall will not vote for him, but if any certainty of his election can be made evident, we apprehend that party discip lino bas been sufficiently restored to give him tho solid Democratic vote. We think it hardly probable that such a scheme can be carried out though stran ger things have hnpponad. Tbe main question, however, for conaideration is, what inducement is to bo given tho Greenbackers. Any trading with them, or swapping of horses, would bo disas trous to the Democracy, aud should be avoided. It Ia better for tho parly to bo relegated to ibo minority than to retain supremacy .in the Houso by questionable "arrangements." Ii, however, Mr. Ran dall can be re elected Speaker without an uUhonorable agreement on the part of tho Democrats, although we have uot been pleased with his course aa Speaker in every instance for thejpast two yenrB, we should prefer to aej bim retain tho position rather than allow a Republican or Greenbaoker to obtain it.* BRIBERY AT ALBANY. The Republicans at Albany have made a pretty exhibition of the inwardness of tho party of great moral ideas. Samuel Bradley, a Republican member of tho Legislature, who bad been voting for Conkltng, on last Wednesday night car ried and delivered to Speaker Sharpe $2,000, which be swears Assemblyman Sesalous gave him as a bribe to vote for Chancey M. Depew. Bradley says Ses sions first offered him $1,000, which he refused, and that Sessions afterwards came back with tho $2,000, and agreed to give him en additional thousand if Depew is elected Senator. He says Ses sions said it would bo nice for all of the members from their District to vote to gether. Sessions admits having urged Bradley io voie for Depew, but utterly Rentes that bo o fibred or gaye him any nioujay to do so, and that Bradley said he knew bis District vos overwhelmingly "against Cockling and Platt, r.Md that be would on tho next day vote for Dapew. l)pon this being mode public a commit t?M> of ?nvo?tfgatiou waa appointed, con? twting of two stalwarts, one administra tion' Republican and two Democrat?!. Tho purposo of tho' Depew men is to make Jt appear that "tinkling's friends furnished Bradley the money to deposit with Sj^Akcr'Sharpe, and told him to profess to have boen b' ibed in order to help Conkling'a wan'ng fortunes and check Dopew's grow log voto. This looked plausible enough, but then on-, other member", Wm. K. Trimble, from ibo 21dt "New York District, testifies thal a lobbyist named Edwards, on Tuesday , the 8th inst,, asked him whattw^rs bb election expenses, and when told $2V?00' to $2,500, caked If be (Trimble) wou/d-vcte for DcpicWvif fri^?uf Do pew's would pay Off. these expone, to Which be replied m>. Ii is, therefore, evident that ihc worst species of. bribery Mid oorruntion'.is in vosue- ai Albanv ictcd and ?onk ? "P ethe for in either event it provee the Repub lican parly of Now York to be corrupt, and that it should be swept from power. Tho exhibition al Albany is disgusting, and ought to drive every boneat Voter in New York out of the party which ls rep resented by such base politician?. CEN, HOERMAN ONCE MORE, ??f. ?J:: VI ?, in ina "Rieu and Full ui the Southern Confederacy," ?tates thc facts connected with the burning of Co lumbia by Sherman's army during li i u march to the sea, and indulges in thc expression of some opinions as to hin inhumanity and barbarity, which hnvc again aroused him to utter his stereotyped auswer, which he availed himself of the opportunity to make at a reception o! the Army of the Potomac in Hartford last week. In the course of his speech ho enid . An to tho buming of Columbia he inti mutes that I have endeavored to e.scai I tho rorr. jnolhility for that act, and rof?rH '.o tho excesses of Wallonstoiu'H army in tho thirty year's war. Mr. Davin wa? not in Columbia during that Hmo, nor waa Oon. Hampton. I was and KO was Qon. O. O. Howard, KO wero lion. John A. Lo gan. Oon. William il. Wood, now Justice of tho Supremo Court, and his brother, Churlos Wood, and 14,000 honest, good, truo Union boldlera. Mr. Davis ignores all thcHO and adopta thc solitary stato ment of Wado Hampton, who got away und waa not thoro at nil after lil? troops had set fire to tho bridges, depot and cot ton lu tho streets of his own city, all of which wero burn?.', down *?r wero burn ing whon our troops entered tho city. Thu houso ooeuplrd by mo (Planton Duncan'8) wa? still standing whon tho uriny loft. The Preston boneo, known aa tho Hampton munslon, occupied by Gou. Logan, was still standing, and thc col logo whoro Con. Howard wes quurterod wau not burned. Tho Aro originated lu Richardson street near whoro I ?nw with my own oyes burning cotton bales which had been Hot on fire by Confed?r alo cavalry. 1 wa* supremo in command insldo of Columbia during tho night of tho conflagration, and i ullow no mau, not ovon Joff Davis, to question my Ktateinont of facta as soon by myself. Tho Uro in Columbia on tho night of Fob ruary 17, 1805, lu my Judgment then and now, was caused by particle? of burning cotton blown ngainHt n fence and : hed i which H]iread to tho IIOUHCH and finally consumed tho centro, but not tho wholo of tho town. Tho cotton wai tin quosttoiiably sot Uro to by Confcdorato cavalry, which Aro WOK partially subdued by our troops in tho day timo whilst tho trains of Cen.

Without thom not a hoUHO would havo cscapod. Almost identically tho samo occurred in RicliUiuud. Boo Radeau, volumo S. pago 038. I niado a report ot the facts to my government, which was accepted, and (hero my responsibility ended. HUH I cheorrully admit that history moy go furthe., provided actual truth is Hought for. 1 want to know tho truth as much as any man.

Gibson, for many years past tho Washington correspondent of tho Now York ?HII, ba? been employed to aid in tho investigation of the Btar route frauds. In view of tho fact that Gibson has re peatedly charged the Prcaidont with bribe-taking, perjury ami other crimea, in connection with Credit Mobilier, Salary Grab, DeGoyioar contract and other matters, this employment is croatiug con siderable comment. Tho Capital, ono of Star Route Brady's organ3, concludes a two-column article lo President Garfield in the following logical, pla' < and em phatic language : Tho issuo ls tho Bimplest ono that could be framed in language If Mr. Gibson ia not a libollor, you aro a bribe-taker, thief, perjurer and subornor of porjury arid forgery. If you are not a bribe- j taker, perjurer, thief and suborner of per- ? jury and forgery. Mr. Gibson is a libollor under tho criminal statute. One of you ought to bo in tho penitentiary, und that upon your own respective showings of record. Both of you cannot bo at largo without an outrago upon the first prluol ?des of juetlco; and yet wo aro told by bo New York Times that Mr. Gibson "baa been rotainod with your approval" in a capacity tho most responsible, most delicate, and requiring thc highest type of honor, Integrity and trustworthiness. Bore, Mr. President, there must bo sonio mistake about this ? but if lt is a mistake it is n dreadful ono-a mistako that will haunt you to your dying day, and damn your memory long afior you aro dead, as tho only President of tho Unltod States who ever voluntarily cortiflod to tho honor, integrity and trustworthiness of a man who for nlno yoars haa steadily branded him a brlbe-takor, thiel, nar, perjurer and suborner of perjury and forgery. The trial of Wm. Henry Prlestor, for tho murder of bis father in Barnwell County, came off before Judge Mackey last week. Tho prosecution was con ducted by Solicitor Gantt for tho State, assisted by Hon. D. 3. Henderson, who was employed by tho prisoner's brother to aid the prosecution. Tho prisoner had no means, and was unablo to employ counsel, but was dofended by Robert Al drich, Esq., under appointment by tho Court. The defense was insanity, and the case was folly and ably presented on both sides. The jury after an absence of a short time returned a verdict of "not guilty %y res??n of insanity," and tho prisoner was ordered by Judge Mackey to bo sent to tho Lunatic Asylum. Thus ends a noted trial in this State, and ono which we hope will not have a parallel. The crime of tho accused was BO unpio voked and so unnatural, that it is posai bio or even probable that he was insane, bul it ia very dangerous for such occur rences to go unpunished upon this de fense. Thc doctrine of insanity has been stretched in criminal trials until it ia very difficult to convict any one who bas been at ail odd or core nt ric, and then again it affords en excellent opportunity *br him that has murder in his heart to commit strange acts and say strange thing? in order to escape the penalty for a crime he intends to commit. Juries should bo slower to allow criminals to escape on tho plea of insanity, and Iben wo apprehend there would not be quite so many crimes. Tho term of the nra^niT^rfulnbirA of of New Hampshire does not expire until June, 1888, though the last session of the body is now lu progress, os they only haro blcunicl sessions in R>.t State. ?be Sena-, torial term of Senator Rollins espires on the 4th of March, 1883, and the Legisla tor, asked tho opinion of tba Supreme Coih ""if-ihst State, according to tho pro vbiions of their laws, ss to tba right of thc present Legislature to-elect a successor to Seuator Rollins. Tho Dem?crata voled solidly against thu request for the court's opinion, Out it was carried, end tho opinion of tho Court has been tarnished. It rccitca that tba next Legislature hat ' '-.iL.*..'L. "lr_ '..i 'J.*2-Z~.7.1 . ing no existence until Juno, 1883, cauuoi . elect a senator for tim full term of ail years, beginning ?larch 4lb, 1,88* , Therefore the refusal of the pVeaent Leg i islature lo elec*. a ?enntor for that tern ' would bc a violation of the constitutiona right of the State io bo represented b] two senators-"chosen by tho Legislature thereof for ?ix years ;" such refusal lc-av * j ii;; iiicciulv vince luuul'us repre ICIIM >: o; i only one senator choseu by its Legislator would bo ns plainly unconstitutional a i similar refusals leaving the Stato for ai i time without a senator so choBcn. Wi i do not seo how there can bo any doub i upon tho correctness of tho opinion u the Court, and presume the Legislator will at onco proceed to an election, ii ' which C2:e Hsnstcr li??ir,:; will probabl; bo his own successor. Tho Republicana of Ohio have renom inated Foster for Governor, and endurec? Presiden*. Garfield's adininibtratiou. Th nomination of Foster is a strong one, bu it is said tho stalwarts are immense! disgusted at tlio endorsement of Mr Gai field, and that they will not particip?t in the coming fight. If this provo tru< the Democrats will carry thc State, an they may do it even if the stalwart? d thc best they can. Thero aro a numbe of aspirants for the tho Democratic non inaliun which will soon bo made, bi tho strongest suggestion is to nominal Thurman for Governor. Ho would ut doubtcdiy poll thc largest possible Den ocratic voto, and could now accept th nomination without endungering li chancea for promotion, os ho id out < public lifo and cannot hopo to get inf it again, except by some auch action o Lis part as tiio coining cauvnss will gi\ him tho opportunity to perform. Thurman ia tho Democratic nomine thc canvass will bo an able and inspiri ing ono, with every prospect of a favori bio issue. Tho prohibition movement in Nort Carolina has progressed to tho extent ? Ordering a vote of tho people of tl State for or against it, which wi bo bad in August next, when tl majority is to decide tho question < prohibiting tho manufacture und sale i apirituous liquors. Everything has pn greased easily and without any mnnife tation of political manipulation unt recently. In tho meantime thc Rcpul licans have kept quiet until tho Donn eratic politiciaus and newspapers hu\ fully committed themselves to tho cam of prohibition, and now they como 01 in solid opposition to it. The result that every negro in the Stato will vol against prohibition, and perhaps enoug white men to defeat the law. The R publicans then will claim it os a victor nutl seek to make political capital out it. Our trouble in tho South is, that v have to contend with a party wliboi principle, which votes as a machine fi tho worst side of every question submi ted to it. The following is the result of tho ia balloting in Albany for two Unitt States Senators to represent the Stato New York : For Conkliug's successor Wheeler, 16 ; Coukling, 24 ; Jacobs, 2< Cornell, 8; Rogers, 12; Lapham, < Tremaine, 4 ; Folger, 2 ; Bradley, 1. I choice. For Platt'a successor-Dcpc 36 ; Cornell, 6 ; Kernan, 29 ; Folger, ! Platt, 21 ; Crowley, 3 ; Lnphom, 2. ? choice. Tho present session of the Le u lu i uro costs tho people of New Yoi $3,000 per day, nnd the principal bus ness transacted is tho taking of one bc lot each day to provo tbot tho dead-lot continues. There ls no probability an olectiou at any timo soon, and tl taxpayers of the State will fiud Mess: Coukling and Platt the most costly Se atora they have ever been called upon select successors for. This proceeding likely to provo extremely detrimental the present dominant party. Gen. Grant has been heard from agai He is -.veil pleased with the prospects his railroad enterprise in Mexico, but decidedly disgruntled over the calna tous turn American politics have i coutly assumed from a stalwart stan point. The ex-President nt present se no rond to tho American empire of whi he has beon dreaming for tho past fifte years. The conflict between Garik and Coukling excites his ire, and he ve plainly denounces Garfield, and dofen Conkliog in a decided manner. He pi nounces Garfield ungrateful, and is c< tain Conkling will bo re-elected. All gether, wc think thc would-be empero expressions are moro vindictive th reaaonablo. It is nono of Gen. Gran immediate business, nnd there Is lit j cause for bis fury about tho lit j unpleasantness. President Hayes says Mr. Conkling crazy. He considers bim a mooan niac on the subject of his .own st importance. Mr. Hayes thought Cos ling a man of great importance a lil over four years ago, when it was fe?i Jin Toii!d vote in fa?c? sf cosst! the vote of Florida for Tilden, 1 doubt whether Mr. Conkling estima himself half so high as Mr. Hayes ci mated him then. ? Times, however, ht changed since then, and in the lighl tho ex-Prcaident's failure as an Exe tivo, lt is some evidenco of insanity any one to have committed a fraud make bim President. To this ext there seems to bo' some foundation the cx-Presidents suspicion as to 1 Conkliug's mental condition. Franklin J. Moses, of South Carol! a son of Ex-Gov. Franklin J. Moses, of this State, ba) just graduated at - National Naval Academy at Annapc In a class of 67 he stood twenty-fou John L. Schocb, of Pennsylvania,' i is just twenty-one years old, achieved highest honor of the class. Among other fe?to res of interest In this elsi the fact that it contained two Japai youths who stood number 14 and nun 26 in tho ciaos. Considering the that tboy were studying in a foreign guage, their stand is excellent, aud donees very'thorough comprehension course .. Tba nicotian - for pember of Conj in the Ei-Econd Diatrlct to.fill the v?cx occasioned by the death of the late I M. P. O'Connor on last Thursday suited in a walt-OTOT-thertrscV oy < Dibble, tho D?mocratie cominee, in sequence of the Republicans refrai from voting, on (be theory that Mackey wai* elected last FrX\, dud tbr.t there was no vacancy created by the death of Mr. O'Connor. The vote polled wa* light, as there was very little excitement over the election. Wo congratulate thc Second District upon securing the Hervices of no able and energetic a representative. Thc prohibition and ant: prohibition Democrats of Greenville are considering some plan to enable them to assert their preferences without antagonizing tho regular nominees of the party in '.he ap proaching municipal election. No plan hus ns yet been adopted, but an effort will bo made to have a separate voto upon the question of license orno license, in order to enable every citizen to vote for the men of bis choice for council* men. -and at the same time vote as Iiis conscience and judgment may dictate upon tho issue of "license" or "no license." Depcw says be bad nothing to do with thc bribery of Bradley, and that, from a consciousness of integrity and innocence on his part, be desires a fu'l and com plete investigation of the wbolo matter. This sounds prettily, but the people havo become familiar with such devices on the part of Republican officials. Mr. Depew may bo correct in bis assertions, but it will require more than bia mero state ment to induce the public to believe that he bad no connection with or knowledge of corrupt influences brought to bear to secure accessions to bis vote for tlie Renate. m Tho good effects of Senator Brown's fight in tho Senate continue.to develop. His policy having been adopted not only inspirited the Democracy, whipped out the Mahono bargain and sale, gave occa sion for tiic rupture between Coukling and tho President, drove Conkling from thc Senate, and produced tho dead-lock at Albany, but it has developed the rot tenness of New York Republicans iu tho bribery of members of tho Legisla ture on the Senatorial election. A little back-bono is a valuable possession to a political party. General Gordon's company for build ing tho Georgia Pacific Railroad, and the Clyde Company for the construction of the Atlanta and Alabama Railroad,have consolidated under the name of the for mer, and will proceed nt once to thc con struction of tho load from Atlanta to the Mississippi Uiver. Gen. Gordon will be president, and the whole road will be put under contract immediately; Ita con struction will give tho Clydes a clear sweep from Richmond to the great Mis sissippi, with the center of their system resting at Atlanta. Thc candidates for the Democratic nomination for Virginia are very numer ous, numbering in their list many ot the ablest and most houored names of the State. The ticket which Seuator Vest, of Missouri, says can overwhelmingly triumph, is Wm. H. Payne for Governor, and Fitzhugh Lee for bieutenaot-Gc ver nor. Ho also says tu.?t tho Democrats of other Slates cbc-id not interfere in tho canvass, as be thinks the party at home in abundantly ablo to tako care of itself. . ] ' Mr. Blair, tho nominee of the Read juster party in Virginia, bas expressed himself heretofore in bis public utter auces os being in favor of readjusting tho debt of the United States after they get through with tho work of repudiation in Virginia. It will be assuring to the na tional creditors the President uses the Federal patronise to help elect Mr. Blair. It is said that Mrs. Conkling is very anxious for Senator Conkling to retire from public life. If the half of tho shot gun aud other narratives told of the ex Senator is true, abo hos abundant causo for the dosire that be shall leave public life. By the way, it looks just now like the New York Legislature Intends to help her in tho effort to iiiduco Lord Roscoe to retire to private life. Conkling takes no notice of Hayes' declaration of his belief that he is in sane. Thia is rather damaging to the correctness of tho ox-Presidont's opinion on this question. It is, however, only a persistenco iu a way that Mr. Conkling bsa of wasting no timo in shooting at dead ducks. The Dem?crata of Virginia w:ll hold their convention to nominate State offi cers in August, and front that timo forward thc Old Dominion will bo ablaze with tho fire ol a contest whoso result will so closely nffeet tho honor and Wel fare of tho great old commonwealth. Mr. Davis' book is out and delivered to those who have subscribed for it--tho predictions of Gen. Robert Toomba to the contrary notwithstanding. Perhaps Gen. Toomba needed a prohibition law Ht the ?0?e he mode thia prediction. -- ir-ai-a Fred. Grant has resigned his Colonelcy iu the United States Army'to accept the Presidency of a now railroad in Texas., He seems to follow very closely the ex ample of his father.
