E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY, OCT. 22, 1885. TERMS: ONErEAT^^^. _?1.50. SIX MONTHS_.- 75o. Two Dollars if not paid in advance. The New York Sun claims that both New York and Virginia will go Demo? cratic by ronsing 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 Edqefield lynchers. Mr. Benet is a very able lawyer, and will doubtless contribute much 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 hare 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 circus company has been here all day, it is aa quiet a Sunday 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. Mahoce's seat in the Senate de- j ponds upon the Repudia tors'carrying the State, and hence every effort which the ! 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 news 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 bger. divided between the 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. South Carolina will do 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 murder 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 seeond trial occurred* It was commenced on Thursday and lasted until Saturday of last week. In it both sides made unusually strong efforts. , Solicitor Orr was assisted by Hon. Leroy 1 F. Youmans and Gen. ?. W. Moise, v while the prisoner was represented by \ Messrs. Benet and Smith and E. B. Gary. U?be empanelling of a jury was a most difficult matter, as a new drawing had to made twice before a jury was secured. ,Jhe defense was not guilty by reason of u4goundness of mind. After elaborate, 'tfjnnent and able arguments on both ?tSiqJes the jury was again nnable to agree, and were discharged. It is stated that the jury stood seven for conviction to fire for acquittal. It has not been stated what course the Solicitor will pursue, though it is presumed the case will be prosecuted further. 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, s*ys: ? The Intelligencer says Mr. Scud tday's proposition?that if a corporation few the right to charge a man a high _liccnse for doing business it has an equal right to forbid him to do business?is a sound one under the Constitution and laws of this Slate. We do not deny it. A man may be iu exact harmony with them and a loug way from iust and sound principles. Wo were not discussing the Constitution and the 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 4a mistaken when it says that under 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 as amounts to a public evil. It could not prohibit gener? al merchandise, or agriculture, or manu " 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 pan 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, as ppon the law of Prohibition. j ?r Senator Mahoue is said tp uav0 fclrwdy >pent UWQ of bjs own. mp*f JAMES T. BACON. Our valued and able contemporary, the Edgefield Advertiser, has sustained a great los3 in the retirement of its editor, Col. James T. Bacon, who ha3 conducted its columns since 1863 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 Ki paper, which he made worthy of him? self and the grand old County whose course he bo largely, and at the same time, so modestly shaped. The Advertiser was always foremost in ding forth squarely and stoutly for aciple, and for the true interests of its State and its country. We regret the retirement of Col. Bacon from tho 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 tho Union. The best policy for any political party is to put its own members in charge of the offices when it has control of the government. It would bo 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 they 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 they 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 which 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 lull for dack of interest. The citizens' ticket was elected by an 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 j 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 beaten in Spartanburg. The names of tho gentlemen elected bho w that the citizens ticket wa* compos? ed of excellent men and good Democrats, but the question occurs, why did they run against the regular ticket? There seems to have been uo grave issue between the two tickets, 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 and thereby be elected. Independeut tickets are dangerous things, and should not 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 is both able and willing to pay all that she owes, and presents a compar? ison of the municipal taxes of the lead? ing cities and towns of the up-country, which shows 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'h ability to pay what she owes, there can be no question. 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 mills would pay every dollar of New berry'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 some other towns with Newberry will prove that our taxes are not high as com? pared with others: The municipal tax in Nowberry is 2 mills regular, and 1 mill for seven years from February, 1884, for the fire department. The municipal tax of Laurens is 8 mills, besides a license tax on lawyers and other profess? ions. The municipal tax in Orangeburg is 5 mills. Columbia's municipal tax is 10h mills. Charleston's municipal tax is 20 mills, with an additional tax of If mills for schools. Anderson's municipal tax is 5h mills?3 mills of which is for the Savannah Valley Railroad. Spar? tanburg's municipal tax is C mills?3 mills being for Railroad and Opera-House bonds, ana 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 ticket 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, j 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 all quarters of the State, from the moun? tains to the f-eaboard, and it will be readily seen, therefore, that it was not, as my courteous friend of the Register inti? mates, the production of my imagination. I have, on a great many occasions, re? ferred to these political rumors, but never until I have had reasou 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. This may be, and doubtles* 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, and yet I have noticed that his able editorials On thu line are oAmi treated in abort the same way. It is !be duty of a reporter to furnish his paper with such items an in his judgment will plewe bis readers, I uave noticed that pemotJiUtetna?reaUrftctlre to the per' sons mentioned and are invariably read by others who are not interested. If our friend means to say tbat the proposed ticket was merely a newspaper f.quib of his owe formation from floating fragments, it is ali 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, I). C, Oct. 26,1885. 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. Tr whisperings iu 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 chango of Administration, especially where there is a change in its political complexion, brings to the surface some sen m 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 tbe particular division. This official has always filled the requirements of his po? sition to tbe general satisfaction of the large body of eminent lawyers from all parts of the country practicing the office, and of tbe 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 the 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 grow 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. Tbe mills of the gods grind slow, yet they grind exceeding small. Secretary Manning has just ordered tbe dismissal 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 Btated 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 tbat time, so that he may become somewhat familiar with tbe varied duties of his office before tbe opening of tbe social season in De? cember. All writs from the courts here are in the name of the President of the United States, and served nominally by the United States Marshal, but in reality by some of his deputios. 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 band man on all social and State occasions. An exception to the custom, however, was made when Fred Douglass was Marshal under Hays. It is supposed that tbe fact that Douglas is a little off color had nomething to do with dispensing with the custom then. The question of making the Commis? sioner of Agriculture a full fledged Cab? inet officer ie 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 the matter in Congress this coming Winter. This is as it should be, aud if the grangers of the whole country would only follow up the move of Virginia we would soon havo another member among tbe President's advisera. A Marquis all Forlorn. London, October 24.?It is now evi? dent that tbe Parliamentary campaign will not pass off without serious rioting in many quarters, as party feeling, which already runs high, daily growB more bitter. Tbe Marquis of Lome, Liberal candidate for Hampstead, went down to Brentford, a town seven miles West of London, to deliver a campaign speech. While addressing the electors a mob as? saulted him with rotten eggs, and some of tbein, gaining tbe platform, smashed bis hat over his head. The supporters of tbe 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 tbe railway station and immediately departed for London. Meanwhile the row continued. The supporters of the Marquis being severely handled and becoming discour? aged at their desert ion by their champion, they fluaily retired, leaving their contes? tants masters of tbe field. The latter then seized the platform aud parsed 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 be put forward in his address advanced Radical opinion* sur? prise was 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, and, with a view to the encouragemont of the subdivision of land, suggested tbat sales of large estates en bloc should be subject to heavy taxa? tion, while the sale of land to be divided into smaller lots should be left duty freo. An to the House of Lords, he hardly went fcu far as the Hampstead Radicals desired, being of opinion that that ven? erable institution might be amended by the infusion of elected members. He favored the extension of local self-gov? ernment to Ireland. A Whole Village Destroyed. Pakis, October 25.?Dispatches from Pcriquex, the capital of the department of Dordognia, state 'hat a frightful acci? dent has occurred at the Chancelade quarries, near that (own. While, a large 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 save their live?. Troops hare been sent to tbe scene of the disaster 10 aid in the work of relief. ? At Lowell, Mas?"., five girls of 11 or J2 years of ago have been arrested for geltin-r -iru'ik and fighting ia a vacant I a near the M'jmmMc. Tnty wore loo drunk to aive a cos-wcted account of their doings, and reviled eauh other and the officers in jsupilngMiofiiipsmcjjjiiuly ft!! nines?, The Baptist State Convention. The Greenville News Bays : The meeting place for the Baptist State Convention Ihwywir was fixed at New berry. The Rev. Dr. Broaddu3, nf the Baptist Church there, is desperately ill, however, and Greenville hospitably in? vited the Convention to meet here. The invitation has bean 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 News pays the follow? ing compliment to the 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 the 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 secured the services of the Rev. L. D. Bass lor the burial. Soon after this he was informed by another messenger that bis 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, Pa., was afflicted for six years with Asth? ma and Bronchitis, during which time the best physicians could give no relief. Her life was despaired of, until in last Octo? ber she procured a Bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery, when immediate relief was felt, and by continuing its use for a short time she was completely cured, fain in g in flesh 50 lbs. in a few months, 'ree Trial Bottles of this certain cure of all Throat and Lung Diseases at Hill Bros.
