E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THTJESDAY, DEC 31, 1885. THRMS: ONETBAB._MJSO. sec months.._,_ 7?o, Tvro Dollars If not paid In advance. j The Legislature in passing Senator Bieman's Bill to repeal tho Oconee Pro? hibition Bill, has left the whole County Iry, wo believe, except Walhalla, and dr. Bieman is the only man who has md a bar- room in Walhalla, as we raderstand it, for years; so that it looks fery mach as if Mr. Bieman was legis ating to give himself a monopoly of he retail sale of liquors in Oconee bounty. It doeB not aeem that he has uny desire to extend the privilege of elling t) any one except to Senator Pieman. It does not strike us that the irinciplo upon which this legislation is wtsed will bear a very close analysis. The many friends of Hon. D. Wyatt iiken in our County will be pleased to earn that it is expected by ninety days of | bmplete rest that he will be restored to tis former health and vigor. Col. Aiken iaa teen a most energetic and active epresentative, and while he has done ome things with which we do not think be people have been in accord, no one ?as ever questioned the integrity of his ?nrposes, or.the diligence with which he iaa labored. In his interview, published his week, he expresses his views upon everal important federal questions, and re think he is right upon all of them, ixcept the compulsory coinage of silver J loliars. Col. Aiken has not fully made ip his mind on this subject, which is a reiy important one, and he is right in giving it the most thorough study and nveatigation before announcing a posi iou on it. We believe, however, that he compulsory purchase and coinage of j ilver by the government will, if per isted in, lead to a financial crisis which nil ruin the debtor class of the country, n such an event the North and West vould have the decided advantage over he South. Hence, we hope the coinage ?/ silver will at least be suspended for a' erra which wilHest the propriety of its enewal. We hope Col. Aiken will be pcedily restored to health, and enabled o resume his duties in Washington. The Legislature, which has just con. lnded its session, while a hard working ody, can scarcely be accredited-with the Ccomplishrncnt of any great amount of nhlic good. All along ifc has evinced a isposition to avoid large undertakings, rid. to split the difference on smaller oitroversies, eo as to be as near on both idea as possible. In the very beginning t -killed the Bill to provide for the as essment and taxation,of property,'when io measure could probably have been assed that was calculated to afford the eople greater relief than a properly evised assessment law. There were efects in the pending BUI, but with mendments it could have been made a 1091 grateful measure to the honest tax ayers of the State, by equalizing the urdens of maintaining the government. I or instance, the people of Anderson fcronty are now paying taxes on real state valued higher than any other ounty in the State outside of Charles >n, and yet the market value of our .ads are not as high, probably, as those several other Counties. Many ine iialities exist in the assessments of the everal Counties which ought to be cor tcted. Some measure looking, to the plief of our judicial system should have Ben adopted, though it must be admitted Etat it is very perplexing to know just That would be best to be done. The legislature,' we think, made a grave listake in repealing the law exempting pw manufacturing companies from tax [ion for ten- years. It is practically ithdrawicg an inducement for the 'ction of factories in our midst. The fducemenb extended under the law jre not excessive, and were not onerous the people. Their repeal Is a step ickwards in the line of progress and ivelopment in. South Carolina. The jtion on the Lien Law was the result of I kiting between two opinions. The (ntiment of the Legislature was in favor its repeal, but the Senate was afraid direct repeal. It therefore resorted to e indirect attack by which the law is ade uncertain and confused-. The rect repeatof the law would, we think, I .ve been better than the amendment Huch prevailed. The Neves and Courier, in reviewing the gislation of the session just closed, ?ys : "There was ample debate con Srning prohibitory legislation, and the fcult of it all was*to leave the law as it wJitt^iwo exceptions. The Oconee ohibitory law was repealed, so that the ivn of Walhalla can now decide by a pular vote whether it will, or will not, sense the sale of spirituous liquors. In dition to this, the State authorized 5p unlicensed sale of domestic wines, of J sie manufacture, everywhere in the ate. The attempts to secure the repeal Tire Barn well prohibition law, and to tablish prohibition throughout the 'unties of Anderson and Greenville, led entirely. Under the State Law 9 sale of spirituous liquors of every scription is now prohibited everywhere South Carolina, except in the incor rated cities and towns, where the sale such liquors may be prohibited like tse if the people of the city or town, at special election, shall so determine, le only exception is Barnwell County, lere the prohibition, by special Act of 8 Legislature, applies to the whole mnty." Our contemporary will en h'cen us if it can show where there a any Bill to extend prohibition to the unties of Anderson or Greenville, thout first submitting the matter to a ie of the citizens of those Counties, was not the cause of prohibition which lied in these Counties, but the principle ht the majority of the people have die \ht to rale was defeated, and the new jjtrine asserted that the Senator and e Representative in each County are 3 masters of the people. Neither iderson no/ Greenville asked any relief j ?therthan that the people might de e this question for themselves, and t the Legislature, dominated by nskeyjpilaences, has declared that the opfewho live in the country shall not bh have the right to a voice in deter [ninghow the Cpnnty in which they e shall be governed in a matter which ects the whole County. This wca idently class legislation of the veij; jrst kind. Opr contemporary is a!so ataken in saying that Barnwell ib the ly exception to tho rule of the Lccal Option Law. Barnwell, Marlboro, Marion, Chester, Pickens, and wo believe Union and Lancaster, have the sale of liquor forbidden by Acts of the Legisla? ture in the whole County. A TALK WITH AIKEN\ Tbe Suffering Congressman and his Pain? ful Illness. Correspondence News and Courier. Cokesbuby, December 25.?In accord? ance with your instructions I visited Col. D. Wyatt Aiken at his hospitable home at this place to day. I found him lying in bed and suffering severely from the ailment which has compelled him to leave his seat iu Congress and come home. He is in a bad way, I fear,; although I hope that perfect rest and careful nursing will restore him to health. Although) as already stated, Col. Aikeu was suffering intensely, he -consented to give me an account of his illness, and epoke as fully as his condi? tion would allow upon some of tho lead? ing questions of the day. col. aiken'S ailment. ''What is the matter with you?" L asked Col. Aiken. "This question is difficult to answer," replied Col. Aiken. "If you will allow me I will give you the history of my disease. Last winter, while at home during Christmas, I fell upon my right hip, which pained me for sevoral days; a month afterward I fell very heavily in Washington on the ice on the same hip, j and'the stroke was so heavy I was unable to rise from the pavement without help. From that moment I had'no release from pain, nor have I bad for one minute since. I continued attending to my duties till Congress closed. I then went down to New Orleans to visit the Expo? sition, and worked like a laborer in endeavoring to see everything there du exhibition in ten days' time. While there my hip hurt me worse, almost every day, but I still thonght it was a simple pain that would of itself cease after awhile, as I could find no external evidence of injury. I returned home about the first of April, and found, after an effort, that I was unable to ride horse? back. Then I began to fear something serious was tbe matter. I consulted a physici3D, who examined me and pro? nounced it sciatica. Not knowing what sciatica meant, for I had never heard the word before, I continued in a hobbling way to attend to my business. Finally I had a chill?three chilis in succession ; three weeks after I had three more chills, and three weeks after three more. My physician pronounced my system so full of malaria that I should go to the moun? tains to avoid the chills that were quite common in the \isiufty of my home. About; the first of August I started for the mountains, and in Greenville I con? sulted a physician, who advised me that he had been cured of sciatica by the spout baths of the Hot Springs of Vir? ginia. I went there immediately. On arrival I was told that twenty baths would tell the tale. I consulted the resident physician, who said I bad no sciatica at all, but that quinine and hot spouts would knock the disease out of me, I staid there long enough to swal? low two hundred and fifty grains of quinine and took forty-two baths, return* ing home with my general health much improved, but no release from my suffer? ing hip. I remained at home about forty days and did almost nothing except to take a hypodermic injection of mor? phine to secure me a good night's repose. Early in November I went to Baltimore to consult Dr. F. T. Miles, who has a national reputation as a specialist in nerve-ailments. He gave me fonr weeks' attention, advised me to go home, take my bed and remain there ninety days and I would be a well man. I came at once to my bed and here you find me. It is well, probably, to say that Dr. Miles pronounced my ailment inflamma? tion of the sacrum plexis of nerves, caused by those two fallslast winter." the silveb question. "What are your views on the silver question ?" asked the correspondent. (T am suffering so much this morning from the pain in my hip," Col. Aiken answered, "that I can scarcely speak in? telligibly on that subject. Suffice it to I say, that I was an out and out silver man until I found Warner, of Ohio, who claimed to be chief of the chiefest in ad? vocacy of .silver coinage, proposing that the Government should buy silver as a product. I questioned to myself why should not the Government buy any [ other staple crop of the country, and one answer should be the same for my ques? tion and Warner's proposition. This, however, did not shake me much until I read Mr. Trenholm's letter, and, unless I read it amiss; I concluded that he j thought tbe continued coinage would not only impoverish the country, but would J add many millions of dollars to tbe i vaults of the banks, and therefore he j opposed it. Now, I consider Mr. Tren holm as belonging to tbe creditor class of the country, and when they oppose any action of the country that throws money into their vaults I think there is something wrong about their proposition, hence Mr. Trenholm's letter threw me back to the point from which Warner had driven me and to-day I scarcely I know what my position is or should be upon that subject." the tariff. "What are your views on the tariff I question ?" asked the correspondent. Col. Aiken: "I believe it should be revised. I think the tax on tobacco should be abolished. Since its adoption I have never heard a tobacco-grower advocate its existence. I have never seen a tobacco-grower who was enriched by its existence; but I have seen specu? lators borrow money, erect factories and make millions of money, right in tbe midst of the tobacco farmers, who don't understand the tobacco tax. If you do not understand this exactly, go to Dur? ham, North Carolina, and see for your? self. Tobacco manufacturing has made more millionairs in Durham than existed before tbe war in the whole State, and I am not aware that a single tobacco grower has been benefited one-tenth to j that extent; hence I would abolish that tax. "I would lower the tax on raw material if you could tell what raw material is. Baw material is the manufactured article to one man, what it is not to another, but if you could get down to that raw mate? rial I would remove the tariff off of that raw material. I would not remove the tariff off of sugar because it is cheap enough for the poorest of our people, and is so universally used that there is scarcely a man in the country that knows whether there is a tax upon it or not. I would require the treasury to have a sort of oscillating tariff, regulated and revised by itself every few years upon such articles as silks, cotton goods, woollen goods, leather and all varieties of iron manufactures. But my suffering hip tells me I have spent long enough time with you on the tariff." Civil service reform. Correspondent: "Do you feel able to express yourself on the subject of civil service reform ?" Col. Aiken: "J have always been op? posed to civil service reform until the whole civil service could become as Democratic as it was Republican before Mr. Cleveland a election. My judgment is, if Mr. Cleveland's election could have been assured, tbe last Congress vvtiuld have repealed the civil Service law. All the advantage that I can see in tbe civil service is to turn out a Republican, regardless of qualification, and install a Democrat, for I am sure there is not an office in the Government the qualifica? tions for which cannot be as easily found in tbe Democratic as in tbe Republican party. The civil service reform commis? sion I somewhat favored, though I doubt its constitutionality. I favored it simply because it relieved every member of Congress from a vast deal of unpleasant work which very much interfered with other necessary and more important public duties." pounce in tbe state. Correspondent: "Would you like to say anything concerning preseut State questions ?" "Col. Aiken: *'I will only say now that I had hoped that tbe present Legis? lature would have immortalized itself by burying the lien law so deep that it could never have been resurrected. But alas for a frail humanity, the laboring men of South Carolina will have another year to buy provisions at 50 per cent, more than they are worth, by reason of the timidity, in my judgment, of the existing Legislature. "With a suffering back and aching hip, I will say no more at present." D. H. M. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. 0., Dec. 26,1885. Congress was bo anxious to adjourn last Monday that tbe minute tbe hands of the clock pointed to tbe hour fixed on, the call of the States for the introduction of bills, was stopped, and tbe holiday recess declared. At tbe time of adjourn? ment Maine bad been reached in the call, and up to that time one thousand bills bad been introduced. It will be months before many of them are reported back. Bat comparatively few Congressmen have left to spend their Christmas at home. This is contrary to past experi? ence, and donbtless due to the fact that the Committees have not yet been com? pleted by the Speaker. The members are as active in looking- after their own interests as after the interest of their constituents, and consequently have not cared to leave tbe ground, when by their presence they may be able to secure an appointment to a good Committee. This week ends with lots of presents and good things at home, but little money in pocket, except in the pockets of the merchants, and they have made enough to pay,off all debts and have a handsome "pile" left. . The mild, spring-like weather of the fivo days preceding Xmas tempted out the whole population of the District, and everybody spent all the money they had. Everything except the absence of snow and cold weather combined to make a merry, old time Christmas. The number of packages mailed from the Post Office was unpre? cedented. On Thursday alone nine thousand were mailed, which was twice the amount mailed the corresponding day of last year. The force at the Post Office had to be doubled. The Express Companies had more than they could attend to, and were delivering until mid? night. From Thursday night till 12 o'clock Friday tbe Adams Express Com ' pany had received 12,000 packages for delivery in the city. The "John Bull," the first railroad locomotive introduced into America, and built by George Stephenson in England in 1885, has been placed on exhibition in the Historical Hall or the National Museum. It is a present to the Museum by the Pennsylvania railroad. The ladies visiting the White House have been much annoyed by tbe clouds of tobacco smoke in tbe vestibule or entrance, hall, and the fact coming to the knowledge of Miss Cleveland she had an order issued forbidding smoking in the Mansion. Hereafter smokers will have to throw their Havanas away before they will be permitted to cross the threshold of the sanctum. The sculptor, E. D. Palmer, who carved the original New York Stone in 1850 for tho Washington Monument, has just contracted, for $3,500, to carve the new memorial stone to replace the old one. This is necessitated by the change in the Coat of Arras of the State. At tho last Cabinet meeting it was decided to close the Departmental build? ings at 12 o'clock day before Christmas and New Year's until tho day after. In some of the Departments where the work is up, the clerks will be allowed to leave at 12 o'clock every day during the week. It used to be tho general custom some years ago to pay the clerks for the full month the day before Christmas and close tho buildings every day at noon ! from Christmas till the day after New Year's. At that time it was also the cus? tom to make a present of a gold pen and holder and a six-bladed knife of tho best R?dgens or Westenholm make to each employer. The cost was charged to the stationery account, and the stationery contractors used to reap a rich harvest. The custom was stopped, however, some few years ago, and since then the clerk has missed his present from Uncle Sam, and bas not been as happy since. Secretary Lamar has gone to his home in Mississippi for the first time in a year. He will return about the 6th of January. The election of two United States Sena? tors from Mississippi will occur next month, but Secretary Lamar's visit at this time to his State has no significance in connection with thb election. Sena? tor Wolthall, the Secretary's successor to the Senate by appointment of the Gov? ernor, was the Secretary's choice, and he will now be elected, and Senator Gibson re-elected. Secretary Lamar, however, can come back to the Senate at any time he pleases, he bas such a strong hold on the affections of the people of his State. The officials at the Pension Office, who ought to know, deny tho truth of tho rumor that there is to be a wholesale dis? charge of 400 clerks on the 1st of Jan uary. The force is none too large now for the dispatch of the business of tho Office, as every applicant for a pension knows to bis sorrow. The present force, however, is being changed in classifica? tion with the view of expediting tho business, aud the rumor no doubt found its origin in tbat fact. The poor people of the District are being more kindly remembered this Xmas than in any previous year. For a week past a largo number of ladies have been energetically at work making pro? vision for a dinner to be given the poor children of the city to day. In addition to tbat, most all of the churches had contributions in clothes and groceries sent to their places of worship, where they were taken charge of by comthlttees appoiuted for the purpose, and distribu? tion made among the needy in the neigh? borhood.
