The New York oun claims that both
New York and Virginia will go Demo?
cratic by rousing majorities. We hope
so, bat must confess we have some fears
about Virginia, and are very uneasy
about New York.
Hon. W. C. Benet, of Abbeville, has
been employed to assist the Solicitor and
Attorney General in the prosecution of
the Edgefield lynchers. Mr. Benet is a
very able lawyer, and will doubtless
contribute mach force and energy to the
prosecution.
The Legislature of Ohio is still in
doubt, and claimed by both parties.
The chances are, however, largely in
favor of the Republicans, but their ma?
jority will be so small that it may yet
result in the defeat of John Sherman for
the Senate. Such a result would cer?
tainly sweeten defeat for the Democrats.
Some of our contemporaries advocated
putting one of the "mugwump" Repub?
licans in President Cleveland's Cabinet
The President and the Democratic party
would both have been in an awkward
predicament if it had been done, for all
?of these mugwumps are bow earnest Re?
publicans. It is much safer and better
to have Democrats in office.
A correspondent from Spartanburg,
writing under date of October 25, says:
"Cole's Circus drew twelve thousand peo?
ple here yesterday. The crowd was
orderly and well-behaved. There was
not a single disturbance, and there were
few drunken people. The day was splen?
did and the show good. Although the
c: cus company has been here all day, it
is aa quiet a Snnday as we have had
lately." Spartanburg is a dry city, and
this instance shows there is virtue in
Prohibition.
Having succeeded in carrying Ohio
the Republicans are now centering their
'efforts upon Virginia, where it is said
Judge Foraker and John Sherman will
make several speeches before the elec?
tion. MahoDe's seat in the Senate de?
pends upon the Repudiators' carrying the
State, and hence every effort which the j
money or brains of the Republican party
can make to elect Wise in that State
will be made. Gen. Fitz Lee is making
a magnificent canvass for the Democrats,
and those well informed in Virginia pol?
itics profess great confidence that he will
be elected Governor, and that the Demo?
crats will carry both branches of the
Legislature. We hope they are correct.
The nows from Ohio, as it becomes
more and more accurate, does not im?
prove the Democratic situation material?
ly. Unofficial footing of the official
returns from all of the Counties in the
State shows that Foraker has a plurality
of 18,158 for Governor; Leonard, the
Prohibition candidate, polled 28,804
votes, and Northrop, Greenback candi?
date, 2,963. The lesson in these figures
is worth studying. The Prohibition vote
is much larger than the Republican plu?
rality, and might have changed the re?
sult had it by& divided between Che
two leading contending parties. It
shows that such a policy should be pur?
sued as to keep Prohibition out of State
politics. If the people of Ohio had
local option by Counties, there would, in
all probability, be no Prohibition vote in
State politics. Sooth Carolina will de
well to profit by Georgia's experience
and success in this direction.
Another jury in Abbeville has been
_ unable to agree upon a verdict in the
case of the State against Ferguson for
the mnrder of Benedict in that town
about one year ago. At the Spring term
of the Court the first trial was had, and
resulted in a mistrial. It is understood
that the jury stood two for conviction
and ten' for acquittal. At the recent
?-term of Court the second trial occurred
It was commenced on Thursday and
lasted until Saturday of last week. In
j it bo th si des made unusually strong efforts.
\ Solicitor Orr was assisted by Hon. Leroy
\ F. Youmans and Gen. E. W. MoiBe,
\ while the prisoner was represented by
\Messrs. Benet and Smith and E. B. Gary.
E!he empanelling of a jury was a most
l (Beul t matter, as a new drawing had to
!?o made twice before a jury was secured,
^he defense was not guilty by reason of
Roundness of mind. After elaborate,
'Sequent and able arguments on both
pd?ls[e? the jury was again unable to agree,
and were discharged. It is stated that
the jury stood seven for conviction to
five for acquittal. It has not been stated
what course the Solicitor will pursue,
though it. is presumed the case will be
prosecuted farther. It appeared to us,
from the testimony published, to be as
deliberate murder as was ever committed.
The Greenville News, replying to our
" article in reference to Mr. Scudday's
speech in Greenville before the Wo?
men's Christian Temperance Union,
says:
."The Intelligencer says Mr. Scud?
day's proposition?that if a corporation
iiaa the right to charge a man a high
license for doing business it has an equal
?ght-to forbid him to do business?is a
sound one under the Constitution and
laws of this State. We do not deny it.
i A man may be iu exact harmou; with
them and a loug way from just and sound
principles. We were not discussing the
Constitution and tbo law. We were dis?
cussing first principles and the question
of right. A Legislature can do many
things opposed to all sound principles of
^ government.
The News 4s mistaken when it says
that uader the Constitution of this State
the Legislature can forbid a person to do
any business in this State, and we appre?
hend that Mr. Scudday made no such
assertion. The Legislature can only pro?
hibit such business aB amounts to a
public evil. It could not prohibit gener?
al merchandise, or agriculture, or mauu
?facturing. These are not evils, and we
apprehend that an act attempting to pro?
hibit them would quickly be declared
unconstitutional. The whiskey traffic,
. however, is an evil, and the Legislature
can either make its sale free, license its
sale, or prohibit it altogether, except for
medical purposes. Our friend makes his
proposition too broad. We think he is
as badly mistaken upon the policy, rb
T- ppon ihe law of Prohibition.

JAMES T. BACON.
Oar valued and able contemporary,
the Edgefield Advertiser, has sustained a
great los3 in the retirement of its editor,
Col. James T. Bacon, who has conducted
its columns since 1? J3 with that fearless
integrity which has achieved for him an
enduring place in the esteem and admi?
ration of all who have been acquainted
with South Carolina journalism in that
period. Col. Bacon is a polished gen?
tleman, and a straightforward, manly
courteous man. Forceful and elegant
with his pen, he impressed his personal
purity and strength of character upon
his paper, which ho made worthy of him?
self and the grand old County whose
course he so largely, and at the same
time, so modestly shaped. The Advertiser
was always foremost in standing forth
squarely and stoutly for principle, and
for the true interests of its State and its
country. We regret the retirement of
Col. Bacon from the editorial work, and
wish for him that prosperity and success
which his worth so richly merits.
Civil Service Reform seems to be unap?
preciated in Ohio, and we are afraid it
will be so in the other States of the
Union. The beat policy for any political
party if to put its own members in cbarge
of the offices when it has control of the
government. It would be a good thing
for the country if a real Civil Service
Reform could be established, but we fear
the political party which attempts it will
be destined to defeat. The office-holders
in a large measure control elections by
their party work, and if tbey cannot partic?
ipate in the struggle to keep the ins in
power, the probability is that the outs
will very soon be the ins. The Republi?
cans talked a great deal of Civil Service
Reform, but tbey managed to let their
interest in the subject end when they
got through talking about it. We favor
Democrats for the offices under a Demo?
cratic President. Mr. Cleveland, how?
ever, is not exactly free to do as he might
deem politic, for he made certain promi?
ses in the canvass which he should of
course fulfill, but we think a Democrat
should be put into every position in
which it is possible for him to be put
without violating the President's promi?
ses. We have no doubt, too, that this
will be done. It is the only course by
.vhich the Democrats can expect to retain
power.
A correspondent of the News and
Courier, writing from Spartanburg under
date of October 21, says:.
The municipal election passed off very
quietly last Monday. The vole was not
fuli for -lack of interest. The citizens'
ticket was elected by au overwhelming
majority. The Democrats made a poor
showing at the polls with their ticket.
The following were elected: Mayor,
Joseph Walker; aldermen, John Boyden,
George Letho, L. A. Mills; H. A. Ligon,
T. A. Irwin. F. M. Trimmier. There
was no excitement during the election
and there have been no animosities
since.
It is a strange thing that the Democrat?
ic ticket can get beateu in Spartanburg.
The names of the gentlemen elected
show that the citizens ticket wu compos?
ed of excellent men aud good Democrats,
but the question occurs, why did they
run against the regular ticket? There
seems to have been no grave issue between
the two rickets, and yet the Democratic
nominees were badly beaten. This
ought not to have been the case. If the
party saw proper to nominate a ticket, it
should have named men who could poll
the party vote aud thereby be elected.
Independent tickets are dangerous things,
and should uot be indulged, even in mu?
nicipal elections. All contests should be
made inside of the party when the party
determines to nominate. Parly adhe?
rence is the only safety for the people of
South Carolina.
The Newberry Observer, in an article
replying to comments of some of the
State press on the debt which hangs
over that town for the building of their
handsome Opera House, shows that
Newberry iB both able and willing to pay
all that she owes, and presents a compar?
ison of the municipal taxes of the lead?
ing cities aad towns of the up-country,
which Bhows that the municipal manage?
ment of Newberry is as good as any of
the surrounding cities or towns of equal
size. The Observer says:
As for Newberry's ability to pay what
she owes, there can be no questiou. Her
taxable property, by the return of 1884,
was over $1,200,000; by the last return,
it is about $1,400,000. An additional
tax of two milk would pay every dollar
of Newberry's debt in less than ten years.
Very few towns in South Carolina as
large as Newberry owe as little as she
does. Newberry is abundantly able to
pay her debts. And the Newberry
Opera-House is not for sale.
"A comparison of the rate of taxation
of Borne other towns with Newberry will
prove that our taxes are not high as com?
pared with others: The municipal tax
in Newberry is 2 mills regular, and 1
mill for seven years from Februnry, 1884,
lor the fire department. The municipal
tax of Laurens iB 3 mills, besides a
license tax on lawyers and other profess?
ions. The municipal tax in Orangeburg
is 5 mills. Columbia's municipal tax is
10* mills. Charleston's municipal tax is
20 mills, with an additional tax of If
mills for schools. Anderson's municipal
tax is 5? mills?3 mills of which iB for
the Savannah Valley Railroad. Spar
tanburg's municipal tax is G mills?3
mills being for Railroad and Opera-House
bonds, and 3 for current expenses."
Our friend "Richland," the admirable
Columbia correspondent of the Augusta
Chronicle replies to the comments of va?
rious papers of the State upon his pro?
posed tic-et as follows :
In reply to these criticisms. I have
only to say: Don't get excited, gentle
men. I can assure you there is no con?
spiracy on foot and no "treason in the
tainted air." That ticket, although a
strong one, was no double-breasted, back
action concern. It was not formed all at
once or in a pile. It was picked up here
and there and put together hurriedly,
consequently it is vulnerable and not
the work of one of your regular iron
bound "ring" productions. ? It was born
of the result of a little newspaper inves?
tigation and a sprinkling of political
gossip compiled, consolidated and aggre?
gated from information obtained in nil
quarters of the State, from the moun?
tains to the seaboard, and it will be
readily seen, therefore, that it was not, as
my courteous friend of the Register inti?
mates, the production of ray imagination,
I have, on a great many occasions, re?
ferred to these political rumors, but never
until I have bad reason to believe that
there was some foundation for them, and
I regret to say that a sentence contain
ing this sort of gossip attracts more
attention than an entire letter devoted to
matters of more consequence. Thin
may be, and doubtless is. due to the
unattractive mann?r in which I may
present weightier subjects, but this can?
not be said of the splendid industrial
articles prepared by my friend of the
Register, ana yet I have noticed that bis
able editorials on ihn line arc ofisn
treated in abort 'he srme way. It is the
duty of a reporter to furnish hir. paper
with such items aa in his judgment will
please his r?adet-, I have noticed that
peno?il Items m attractire to the pel"
sons mentioned and are invariably read
by others who are not interested.
If our friend means to say that the
proposed ticket was merely a newspaper
squib cf his owg formation from floating
fragments, it is all very well. That sort
of thing helps to fill up a newspaper and
give people something to talk about, but
we doubt if it does much toward securing
a nomination for the ticket proposed.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 26,1886.
Changes in the Government offices are
of more frequent occurrence now than at
any time since President Cleveland
assumed the functions of the Presidential
chair. The changes are many and high
in official standing. If whisperings in
the air are of any significance, a long
list of appointments may be looked for
in the ides of November. The powers
that be have not been idle all this time.
The value of the positions and the men
well suited to fill them have been in the
mind's eye of the dispensers of Govern?
ment favors for some time; and while
great bodies move slowly, it is now con?
sidered wise to touch the electric key and
put the elect in the offices set aside for
them before the legislative branch of tbe
Government sweeps down on tbe execu?
tive branch in the interests of rival
aspirants only to complicate matter?.
Every change of Administration,
especially where there is a change in its
political complexion, brings to the
surface some scum that leaves the surface
cleaner and purer when removed. At
times it arises in the form of an aspirant
for advancement, who constitutes himself
a volunteer informer to pull down his
brother employee that he may profit by
his downfall. A case of this kind is in
mind now, because it has attracted such
general attention and received almost
universal condemnation where known.
In a certain Bureau there is a chief of
division who has filled a position of
honor with credit to himself and the
Bureau for more than twenty years.
The position calls for the exercise of a
legal mind, a discriminating judgment,
a technical knowledge of various arts
and sciences, and executive ability to
dispatch the business coming before the
particular division. This official has
always filled the requirements of hiB po?
sition to the general satisfaction of the
large body of eminent lawyers from all
parts of the country practicing the office,
and of the numerous Chiefs who have
been called to preside over the Bureau
during that period. Even the courts
have more than once complimented this
gentleman in passing upon cases which
passed from his jurisdiction to theirs,
and in mooted questions in the Bureau
this person's judgment has been accep?
ted to govern tbe final decision. Just
now two of this official's assistants and a
few other employees, evidently prompted
by jealousy and other evil motives, are
engaged in circulating all sorts of stories
as to favoritism and gross carelessness on
the part of their superior, who on more
than one occasion has befriended them.
They reckon without their host, however,
this time, because the new Chief of the
Bureau is a man who sifts things to the
core and loves justice, and will mete it
out impartially to all concerned. The
mills of the gods grind slow, yet they
grind exceeding small.
Secretary Manning has just ordered
the dismipsal of several clerks because
they won't pay their bills. He is tired
of being dunned on account of other
persons' bills, and says that his clerks
must pay up or get out. It will be safe
to credit clerks in his department from
this time forth.
It is now authoritatively stated that
United States Marshal MacMichael has
placed his resignation in the hands of
the President, to take effect the 1st of
November. The President will probably
appoint his successor about that time, so
that he may become somewhat familiar
with the varied duties of his office before
the opening of the social season in De?
cember. All writs from the courts here
are in the name of the President of the
Unitod States, and served nominally by
the United States Marshal, but in reality
by some of his deputies. The Marshal
gets the money while his deputies do the
work. The Marshal usually is a bosom
friend of the President, and by custom is
his right hand man on all social and
State occasions. An exception to the
cuBtom, however, was made when Fred
Douglass was Marshal under Hays. It
is supposed that the fact that Douglas is
a little off color had something to do
with dispensing with the custom then.
The question of making the Commis?
sioner of Agriculture a full fledged Cab?
inet officer is being agitated by progress?
ive farmers and agricultural scientists,
and some day they will doubtless realize
their wishes. At their recent conven?
tion, held in Richmond, the farmers of
Virginia passed resolutions instructing
their representatives in Congress to press
tbe matter in Congress this coming
Winter. This is as it should be, and if
the grangers of the whole country would
only follow up the move of Virginia we
would soon have another member among
tbe President's advisere.
A Marquis all Forlorn.
London, October 24.?It is now evi?
dent that the Parliamentary campaign
will not pass off without serious rioting
in many quarters, as party feeling, which
already runs high, daily grows more
bitter. The Marquis of Lome, Liberal
candidate for Hampstead, went down to
Brentford, a town seven milo3 West of
London, to deliver a campaign speech.
While addressing the electors a mob as?
saulted him with rotten ejrgs, and some
of them, gaining tbe platform, smashed
his hat over his head. The supporters of
the Marquis rushed to his rescue and a
fight ensued. The noble Lord now
became so thoroughly frightened that he
hastily left the scene, ran through the
streets in a drenching rain to the railway
station and immediately departed for
London. Meanwhile the row continued.
Tbe supporters of the Marquis being
severely handled and becoming discour?
aged at their desertion by tbeir champion,
they finally retired, leaving their contes?
tants masters of the field. The latter
then seized the platform and passed a
resolution condemning the policy of the
Liberals.
When the Queen's son-in-law made his
appearance as the Liberal candidate for
Hampstead it occasioned considerable
surprise, and when he put forward in his
address advanced Radical opinions sur?
prise wo? greatly increased. He adopted
Mr. Chamberlain's programme of free
education and advocated the immediate
establishment of the Scotch Church.
He championed the principles of the
Free Land League, ar d, with a view to
the encouragemont of the subdivision of
land, suggested that sales of large estates
en bloc should be subject to heavy taxa?
tion, while the sale of lund to be divided
into smaller lots should be left duty free.
A* to the House of Lords, he hardly
went su far as the Hampstead Radicals
desired, being of opinion thai that ven?
erable institution might be ameoded by
the infusion of elected members. He
favored the extension of local self-gov?
ernment to Ireland.
A Whole Village Destroyed.
Paris, October 26.?Dispatches from
Pcriquex, the capital of the department
of Doniognia, stale that a frightful acci
dent has occurred at the Cbancelade
quarries, near that (own. While, a largo
body of workmen were engaged in taking
out stone, the quarries suddenly fell in,
destroying the village situated on the
ground above the stone pit, and killing a
number of persons. .Many are buried in
the ruins, and it is doubtful if any of
them can be rescued in time to Rave their
lives. Troops hare b-.'en sent to tbe
scene of the disaster to aid in the work
of relief.

The Baptist State Convention.
The Greenville Nervs says:
The mee ting place for the Baptist State
Convention thia'yefir was fixed at New
berry. The Rev. Dr. BrouJilu3, of the
Baptist Church there, is desperately ill,
however, and Greenville hospitably in?
vited the Convention to meet here. The
invitation has been accepted, and the
session will begin November 18th.
The meeting is an important one and
150 or 200 delegates may be present. As
is usual on such occasions, the houses of
all the citizens, of all denominations,
will probably be thrown open to the vis?
itors.
The Greenville New? pays the follow?
ing compliment to tho citizenship of
three counties in this State: "A promi?
nent official of this State who is in a
position to know whereof he speaks says
the juries of Anderson, Spartanburg
and Greenville are tho best in the State
?fearless, honest and clear headed.
The statement is a splendid tribute to
the citizenship of the three counties,
and we all may well be proud of it. The
three counties can compare their records
of crime in proportion to population
with any similar bodies of people in the
world without having any cause for
shame."
? The Manning Times says: "On
last Wednesday afternoon while Mr. R.
L. Logan was in town he received intel?
ligence of the death of his infant child.
Before leaving he procured the coffin,
and Becured the services of the Rev. L.
D. Bass lor the burial. Soon after this
he was informed by another messenger
that his child, which had to all human
appearances been dead for a quarter of
an hour, had recovered. The child was
Boon after again taken very sick and has
died."
? Evangelist Sam Jones claims, during
his campaign at St. Joseph, Mo., to have
converted 25,000 people, including one
thousand children.
? According to the Medical World
every farmer wears out, on the average,
two wives and a half in his lifetime.
A Remarkable Escape.
Mrs. Mary A. Dailey, of Tunkhannock,

ma and Bronchitis, during which time the
