E. B. M?ERAY, Editor. - THTJBSDAY, MAY 27, 1886. ' - ' 'XBEIMS: v. oneyeab. ,.., ?-.?1.50. } 8lx months_.._....._75c. ..s';>. A RIDICULOUS STORY. Quite a number of the Northern papers have been greatly distressed because the Southern people received JeSUBavis hospitably and listened to -Kita speak for a few minutes in Mont gomery, Savannah and Atlanta. Not content -with the expression of their alarm for the safety of-the nation, they nave taken up a full-made story from a drunken railroad car porter who. go', drank and had a right in a Savannah saloon, and attempted to explain his bruises by telling that he attended the Davis meeting in Savannah, and that Mr. DavisBaid in his speech: "I often prayed to God to live to see the day when both Lincoln and Grant were dead and in h?1, and as my prayer has been . granted I am ready to die/' and that he felt called upon oat of patriotism to dis? sent from such sentiments, whereupon he . was cut across the throat by ono man and attacked by several others, but by'his valiant conduct he drove off his assail? ants. MThe Charles City (Iowa) InieUi fencer publishes this statement, r.nd says: "It seems the Southern report<!rs didn't give all of JefLY Davis' Mob tgomery speech. This passage, which ia vouched for by Northern men who wero present and heard it spoken, was suppressed: And while such infamous and disloyal talk is being indulged in by an unhung traitor, Northern people who condemn it are accused of waving the bloody shirt. * It ought to be waved, and will be, until such utterances cease."' Now, really is it not simply ridiculous - for a respectable newspaper to be fooled in such a manner? Any ten year old boy,.who is not an idiot, knrws that no such language as that attributed to Mr. Davis was used by him, for there were reporters for Northern ' find Southern -papers, by the dozen present, and not one of them heard or reported anything like this in Mr. Davis' speeclv. The InUlli' ~geficer says this passage' is vouched for fcy Northern men who were present and : heard it Will our contemporary favor 'us with;the names of the Northern men who1 heard it, their residence, when at home, and the place they stopped at in 8avaonah ? The truth* or fclsity of such a charge can easily be ascertained, and we must say that in our judgment the flouting of the blopdy: .shirt. is an inno*; cent ?amusement OTmpaied With the ? publication of such unfounded and men? dacious tales as' ;that of the drunken Bully<abbut Mr. Davis. " And>bur con .tompqrary calls Mr*. Davis p. a unhung traitor.- History will .hardly be so pas rszpnatein its dealing with his reputation, rjn. our-judgment, theleast and most con? temptible action that this government has ever , been guilty of, is the manner in glflracb it has treated Mr. Davis. It has ; :forgiven, as they choose to call it?yes . forgiven the whole of the people, thir? teen States, combatants, and non-com? batants, for letting the North whip them with'superior numbers and resources, gfiiid yet they except alone Mr. Davis, who was no more-to blame than a thou? sand other men in the Confederate States. - An unhung traitor, indeed. Our Iowa friend is a little ignorant of a very im? portant epoch in our nation's history, or he would know that such epe.thets are ^neither justified by the facts of past ?^histpry^of present events, nor of the future interests of this government. ?;; >.The Pickena Sentinel quotes a para graph from the Intelligences, ' and /adds: We were at one time of the opinion that a new Constitution was very neces? sary, but a careful study of the-subject has convinced us that-this is not the case. When a careful, thoughtful writer, .like the Editor of the Lntelligenceb differs /from us on an important question like this, we fiel constrained to ask. him, at -life convenience, to point oat some of the -Veyite of the present Constitution which ;cannot be more easily and satisfactorily - remedied by the Legislature, than by a Constitutional Convention. We have neither time nor space at present to go into details on the subject ?of our Constitution. It may be enough, however, to notice the fact that the pres? ent Constitution was made entirely by the Republicans, and that it cannot be amended without a two-third vote of the members of each House in two successive Legislatures, and. a majority of the votes of the people in a general election. Our friend must know that this is a slow, . tedious, uncertain and unsatisfactory method of . amendment. Men often agree that a measure is not a good one, but it is seldom that you can get two " thirds of each of four different sets of men to agree to the details of any pro? posed change. The whole system of this. Constitution is extravagant, cum? brous and ill adapted to our area and population. There are two many offices, and too much expense is required to maintain the government. We have a poor school system, a defective judicial system, a burdensome system of County government, elections occur too frequent . ly, the Legislature meets too often, and our tax laws need improvement, which could perhaps be started in the Constitu? tion itself. In addition to these, there are several provisions in the bill of rights and in the suffrage provisions of the Constitution which might be improved These are some of the general reasons wby we favor a Constitutional Conven? tion. In our judgment, the needed changes can be secured in no other way. Several papers in the Third Congress? ional District have stated that strong solicitation is being presented to Judge J. S. Cothran, of Abbeville, to induce him to enter the race in the Third Con? gressional District for the purpose of retaining the representative in Abbeville County. Judge Cothran is a charming, able and popnlar man, and would make an acceptable and distinguished repre? sentative. He has high qualification for that kind of work. We admire his geni , as and his worth, but we do not think he should consent to make , the race which is urged upon him.. Abbeville County has had the representative for ten years, and there is, in our judgment, no justification for calling on a Circuit Judge to enter the race to keep the other Counties from having the Congressman. These Counties have able and upright men, who have worked as hard for their country and have as strong claims upon the people as the distinguished sons of the distinguished County of Abbeville have. We have no objection to Abbe rille having a full share of the public honors. She has many able and worthy ?ons, bnt we do not like to see the spirit manifested towards the other Counties which is shown in the effort to beat the in dowo, eveu if aho has to call ou a Circuit ; Judge to cuter the race to do it. Judgo Cothran has an exalted position, and ..should not consent to leave it simply for the purpose of thwarting the laudable ambition of other gentlemen, for no high? er offense than that they do not live in Abbeville County. The election of the Rev. W. W. Dun? can, of Spartanburg, to the Bishopric by the Quadrennial Convention of the Methodist Church, Soutb, now sitting iu Richmond, Va., will be gratifying to the host of friends of this distinguished divine, both within and without the denomination to which he belongs. Dr. Duncan is a young man to have achieved so high an honor, but his ripe scholar? ship, bis conspicuous executive ability and bis exalted Christian character com? mend the selection which the Conference has made._ The damage to the railroads by last week's rainB bas certainly been very great, though we cannot ascertain the .fall extent of the injuries done, as com? munication with Columbia, over the C. & G. Road is completely cut off, and the telegraph wires are down. Except the washout at Broadaway trestle, the road is. intact as far down as Ninety Six. The Saluda bridge was washed down several feet, and there are numerous breaks in the track. No one knows how many or bow. extensive these breaks are. There are said to be bad washouts on Salnda River, Crymes' Creek, and in the country below Alston. The Wateree River bas also been over the embank? ment of the trestle on the South Caroli? na Road, and there have been bad breaks on the roads in North Carolina and Vir? ginia. All mails have been deranged except the Western mail. The Colum? bia Water Works were washed away, and damage amounting to from five to ten thousand dollars in work and material, has been done to the Columbia Canal. The injury to transportation will require weeks for its reparation. The third day of June has been fixed for the consideration of bills reported from the Labor Committee in the House of Representatives, and under this action the Blair Educational Bill may yet be called up for action and passed by the present Congress. A determined effort was made by several leading Congress? men to prevent the fixing of any day for reports from the labor committee, for by shutting out such reports they would prevent the possibility of getting the Bill before tbe House without a two thirds, majority in favor of the measure. The resolution was adopted by. a vote of 196 to 17. The opponents of the Blair Bill largely refrained from voting iu order to.break the quorum, .but. tbeir tactics did not sncceed. The labor com? mittee reports a. substitute for the Blair Bill, which proposes to sell tbe public lands and distribute between the States for school purposes, and it will.be the Bill to come up -under tbe resolution which has been adopted; The friends of the Blair Bill, however, can offer it as a substitute, and thus secure its passage if they have the majority in'the House, as they contend tbat they have. The Mew Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Richmond, Va., May 22.?Tbe newly elected bishops arc: Rev. Dr. William Wallace Duncan, of South Carolina; Rev. Dr. Charles B. Galloway,of Missis sippi; Rev. Dr. Eugene Russell Hendrix, of Missouri, and Rev. JDr. Joseph Stan -tira Key, of Georgia; They' are all leading men in church affairs. Rev. Joseph Stanton Key, D. D., was born July IS, 1S29, his father and grand? father both being local; preachers. He graduated from Emory* college in 1S48, and entered the Georgia Conference the year following, since which time he has worked in various locations. At the division.of the Georgia Conference in 1866 he adhered to the South Georgia Conference. He was selected as delegate to the Ecumenical Conference in London and the Centennial at Baltimore, but was unable to attend either. Rev. Eugene Russell Hendrix, D. D., was born in Fayette, Mo., May 17,1847, and is a son of Adam Hendrix, of the board of curators of Central College. He joined the church when twelve years of age, and graduated at Wesleyan uni? versity when only twenty. Two years later he graduated again at Union Theo? logical . Seminary. He joined the Missouri Conference in. 1869, and nine years later was elected President of Cen? tral College. He was a delegate to the General Conference in 1882, and at the last General Conference was selected Chairman of the Centenary Committee. In 1876-7 he went on a missionary tour with Bishop Marvin, and embodied an account of tbe trip in a pleasant treatise entitled "Around the World." Rev. Charles B. Galloway, D. D., was born in Kosciusko, Miss., September 1, 1849. He joined the church at Canton, in that State, and the State Conference in 1868. In 1874 he became editor of the Temperance Banner, and became Chairman of the State Prohibition Ex? ecutive committee. In 1882 he became a member of the General Conference, and was a delegate to the Centennial Conference at Baltimore in 1884. He is editor of the New Orleans Christian Ad? vocate, and has written several books, including a treatise on prohibition and a life of Linns Parker. Rev. William Wallace Duncan. D. D., aSonth Carolina delegate, was born at Randolph, Macon County, Va., on De? cember 27, 1839. He graduated at Wofford College, Spartanburg, S. C? in 1858, during the presidency of tbe late Bishop Wigbtman. In 1859 he joined the Virginia Conference, but was trans? ferred to South Carolina in 1875, in which year he was elected to the chair of mental and moral science in Wofford College. He is now professor in that College as well as financial secretary. He was one of tbe delegates to the Ecumenical Conference. Governor Thompson Honored* Washington, May 21.?The secret of Governor Thompson's unexpected visit to Washington is out, as appears from a statement made to-day by a gentleman who was instrumental in his coming. Said tbe latter: "Governor Thompson has been here on a little visit to some of his friends, who desired him to become personally known to tbe President. He made " most favorable impression at tbe White House when he called with Sen? ator Hampton, and was given. to under? stand that an important Federal appoint? ment would be offered him if he would consider its acceptance. The proposed appointment would have been highly complimentary to Governor Thompson Ssrsonally, as well as to the State of outh Carolina, but be said promptly that he was unwilling to resign the office of Governor merely to promote his own interests." Governor Thompson left for home this morning, accompanied by Congressman Dibble, who goes to attend to some law business.?Dispatch to News and Courier. ? Tbe attempt to introduce tbe Chi? nese oath of cutting off the head of a chicken while tbe witness declares that he will tell tbe truth, does not succeed in tbe California courts. One Judge refused to permit his courtroom to be turned into a slaughter pen, and directed tbe witness to be sworn a ceo ling to the American fashion. Freaks of flic Cyclone. Reports of tbe Ohio cyclone of last Friday show the remarkable freaks that these wind storms play with human life and property. Iu the house of George Hoffman was an eigbt-montbs-old baby. It was picked up by tbe wind, laid in a feather bed, and the whole business, ba'by and all, was carried one hundred and fifty feet. It was then deposited and a log was thrown on either side of the child, piuning the bed to the ground. After the storm a search was instituted for the baby. One of the searchers heard it cry, and, following the direction indi? cated by the sound, found the little pet, and restored it uninjured to the arms of its distracted mother. Mr. Curtis Hall, Jr., of Neptune, re? ports tbat be saw straws that were blown into old oak trees. A bed iu the house of Andy Ginter was blown into the fields, and three children in it were carried along with it. All of the furni? ture was blown out of George Fox's house. Feathers were stripped from chickens on the farm as clean as though the fowls had been prepared for the pot by a cook. The chickens were caught by an obstruction tbat held them for tbe wind to operate upon them. William Stevenson says that he saw the cyclone approach. It looked like a great black ball in the act of rolling over the surface of the earth. It came along with frightful velocity, and made a noise louder than the roaring of a hun? dred thunder peals. It was a clear night everywhere but in the wake of the fear? ful monster. It was about a half mile wide, and it twisted immense trees off at the ground as though they were pipe stems. It cut crops of grain aud grass off as clean as a mowing machine, and in instances stripped trees of bark as a hungry Italian would peel a banana. George Fox's wagon was carried half a mile. The ties on two wheels were each cut in two as with a sharp instru? ment, and each partly straightened ex? actly iu tbe same shape. At John Grimm's dishes were carried and driven into stumps so tbat they could Bot be pulled out. Mormons iu the Suburbs. Last Friday evening Mr. W. 0. Single? ton, who lives two miles from town, met with Mr. Heber Wright and his compan? ion, mormon priests, and asked them if it was so that they allowed their members to b&ve seven wives ; if it was he would like for them to show him how to get along with one. They said if it was desired to hear them preach, that tbey would do so, wherever tbey could get au audience. Accordingly about twenty persons collected at Mr. Singleton's and one of the missionaries made a civil, straightforward talk on the scriptures, not venturing anything startling or unusual. The next day they went on their way to Danville, Oconee County, at which place they seem to have a regular appointment. These missionaries are not bold in teaching tho doctrine that it is right to have more than one wife, but it is a well known fact tbat tbey represent and in? dustriously teach tbe doctrines of a church which encourages a plurality of wives? something that is plainly and positively against public policy and morality and contrary to the laws of this State and of civilization. These men may be civil, polite and educated, but that is nothing while they believe it is right to be tbe husband of more than one wife. They call them? selves "Latter Day Saints," but wherever their doctrines have been embraced the results show tbat they are "Latter Day Devils." The Berpent would be beauti? ful to look upon, but our knowledge of its venom makes it hideous. So do tbe mormons appear in the light of civiliza? tion, morality and religion. They have Bown discord in the happiest families, estranged the husband and wife, tbe father and daughter. Who will hear them for their cause ? Who will stay his band, and let the adder strike his child ? .?Pickens Sentinel. Three Great Governors. Cincinnati, May 22.?Governors Wil? son, of West Virginia, Lee, of Virginia, ,aud Fnraker, of Ohio, who are here as guest* of the Festival Association, were introduced to the members of the Cham? ber of Commerce this afternoon by Pres? ident Stevens. Governor Wilson was grateful for the opportunity he had of seeing something of the enterprise aud public spirit of Cincinnati. Governor Lee, who was received with shouts of applause, made a more elabo? rate speech, in the course of which he referred to tbe late war aud its events, which he said should be consigned to forgetfulness, or if remembered at all, should be thought of and talked of as evidences of American valor aud fidelity. No men, he said, could be brought to face such storms of shot and shell as were poured upon the Southern soldiers unless they thought their cause was just. He was hapjjy to say that Virginia's aim was to lake her place in the coronet of the American Union and by her helpful ! ness in advancing the interests of the : common country to become a bright and flashing jewel. His remarks were warm? ly applauded. Governor Foraker followed, saying he was delighted to see the earnestness of the greeting given to Governor Lee, who for tbe first time visited Ohio. It would show him tbat though Ohio's sous had fought Virginians it was not through bate. Rather Ohio loved Virginia so well that she would not allow ber to separate from tbe Union. The war has settled their differences for all time, and now the common desire of patriots every? where was to build up the whole country. Loud applause followed. The Governors then held a reception, and were met by many of tbe prominent members of the Chambers of Commerce. The Pension Fever. Washington, May 21.?The house dashed off its usual lot of pension bills to-night. Friday nights are set apart for this business, and the looseness with which it is transacted would be ridicu? lous were it not a constant waste of the people's money. A regular pension fever is spreading throughout the North and West. As the result of such extrava? gance as the bill recently passed by the Senate, which pensions all soldiers of tbe late war who cannot make a living, and who have been disabled since the war, this will cost $34,000,000 a year in ad? dition to the increased pensions to widows and dependent relations, which will call for $8,000,000 or $10,000,000 more annu? ally. Tbe ordinary pension bill for the next year is about $80,000,000 besides these additions. Such a rush for pensions was Dever before known and it is natural since Congress is constantly widening the range of its bounty and about all tbat appears to be necessary to the securing of a pension is tbe application. Northern Congressmen are becoming alarmed at "this indiscriminate raid on the treasury but do not dare *o raise a voice or cast a vote against it ft. ear of the soldier vote. Southern men cannot effectually oppose this extravagance and their slightest protest is misconstrued into enmity to the soldiers of the Union. President Cleve? land's recent voice of warning on this subject has fallen on deaf ears in Con? gress, but it is said to voice a strong and growing sentiment among the people who may see that their wishes are obeyed. Taking in the Gullible. Chattanooga, Tenn., May 23.?It has been learned that agents of the Globe Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Baltimore, a concern which is de? nounced by the Baltimore Underwriters, are doing up East Tennessee. One of their missionaries has been at work in this city, and it is said he has entrapped several of our over-confiding citizens. The argument tbat takes with tbe gulli? ble, and wbich is printed in their circu? lars, is as follows: We will insure your life for ten years free of all charges by returning all money paid at the expira? tion of the ten years, and pay you $17.G4 per year for tbe privilege of insuring your life for $1,000. It is understood that several of the "suckers" in this city and elsewhere in East Tennessee have put the authorities ou the track of the agent. Senator Blair on the Boycott. The boycott is excommunication. It is dissolution of .society ;im fnr as it goes. Sometimes it may be irnli?ijcns:iblr, but as a remedy it is, as a rule, itself a dis? ease, and as a means of vengeance it is an invasion of the prerogatives of the Supreme Being, who claims vengeance as His own. Resort to the boycott can be justified only in extreme cases, and never should extend to the innocent friends and associates of the supposed offender who are not responsible for the offence, and who may bo far more injured by the boycott than the perpetrator of the wrong. I prefer to write of measures and principles, which. If adopted, will abolish the boycott and the causes which lead to it. I am of the opinion that eight hours is long enough for a day's work in all the heavy manual occupations of life, and that the eight hour system should be in? troduced generally throughout the coun? try as rapidly as it can be done by peace? ful and orderly methods aud without serious derangement of the production of the country. This can be done, in my belief, without diminishing that produc? tion and with greatly beneficial results to business men and wage-workers alike. Machinery can be kept in operation longer hours, in faqt for twelve or six? teen,, or the whole twenty-four hours in emergencies, by the system of hour or piece labor or the employment of relays of hands. In this way all the unemploy? ed can find work and suitable pay while production would be greatly increased and at tho same time cheapened to the consumer. Tho grand strategy of labor Bbould be to improve and work machinery more and more and the individual toiler less and less while distributing employ? ment to every one, which under the exist? ing order of things, an order which must continue in its essential features for many years, if not always, is the chief practical means of securing an equitable distribu? tion of production itself. To distribute employment is to dis? tribute production. The worker must remember that as education and skill measure his wages as an individual, so general education and skill measure the average of wages among a whole people. Education alone can prevent the degra? dation of laborers to the level fixed by the competition of ignorance in all parts of the country. Education is civilization and civilization commands high pay, and consequently a fair and equal distribution of things to be consumed. Highly skilled, and, therefore, highly paid labor must compete more and more with igno? rant, and, therefore, cheap labor through? out the country. There is no tariff between the North and the South, and one general level of wages must ultimately prevail. Educa? tion is the great equalizer of conditions, and nothing but uniformity of intelli? gence among the people can prevent competition between ignorant and there? fore cheap labor ou the one band, and intelligent and therefore well paid labor on the other. Intelligence must lift up ignorance or be degraded by it. It was Cain who said, "Am I my brother's keeper_T_ A New Amendment Washington, May 21.?The house committee on the judiciary to day in? structed Chairman Tucker to report favorably an amendment to the constitu? tion declaring polygamy unlawful. There was but one member of the com? mittee who did not agree to the action of the committee and he only desired further time to consider it. The following is the full text of the amendment as it will be reported: Resolved, etc., That it is deemed neces? sary by the two houses of Congress to propose an amendment to the constitu? tion, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the constitution v\hen ratified as hereby proposed, by the legislatures of three fourths of the States, the proposed amendment to be numbered and to read as follows, to-wit: article xvi. 1. The marriage relation by contract or in fuel by one person of either sex or m<ire than one of either sex shall be decnud polygamy, neither polygamy nor any polygamous association or cohibita lion between the feses shall exist or be lawful in any place within the jurisdic? tion of the United States or any of the States. 2. The United States shall not, nor shall any State, make or enforce any law which shall allow polygamy or any polygamous association or cohabitation between the sexes, but the United States and every State, shslLprohibit the same by law within their respective jurisdic? tion. 3. The judicial power of the United States ahull extend to the prosecution of Crimea of polygamy and of polygamous association or cohabitation between the sexes uuder this article, and Congress shall have power to declare by law the punishment therefor. 4. Nothing in the constitution nor in this article shall be const turd to deny to uny State the exclusive power, subject to the provisions of this article, to make aud enforce all laws concerning marriage and divorce witbio its jurisdic? tion or to vest in the United States any power respecting the same within any State. The Mason Cotton Harvester. Charleston, S. C, May 22.?The Board of Director of the Mason Cotton Harvester Company of this city began proceedings yesterday against Owen T. Bugg and the United States Cotton Har? vester Company of New York, inventors and owners of a cotton harvesting machine. The claim of the Mason Com pany is for injunction and damages ou the ground that Bugg's application for a patent ou the machine referred to was rejected after a full hearing by the Patent Office, and that the patent was granted to the Mason Company, and that Bugg having been defeated in the Patent Oflice has infringed several of the Mason Company's patent* in the construction of his machine. ? John W. Young, the oldest son of Brigham Young, has been the principal agent in the mormon lobby working against the pending legislation to repress mormon practices. He is said to possess many of the remarkable qualities of his father, including his wonderful energy and self-reliance. Most of his property interests are in Utah, but he has also a business office in New York city. It is through him that the correspondence has been carried on and the money disbursed. His mother was the first of the seventeen wives of Brigham, and he was the first of the fifty-two children of whom the great mormon apostle was the sire. All of the children of the different mothers are said to possess more or less of the characteris? tics of the father. Most or the girls were pronounced blondes and fine specimens of physical and intellectual womanhood. The old man, of course, had his pick for wives, and his entire family of mothers and children were always stars among the mormon population. The majority of the sons and daughters are still in Utah, but some of them are in the Pacific States, and some in England. They are all in comfortable circumstances, as their father at his death distributed impartially his immense wealth. Onb of the young? er sons was sent to West Point, and is now a first lieutenant of engineers in the United States army. ? Georgia has furnished an invontor in the person of Owen T. Bugg, who has patented a cotton picker, which he is manufacturing in New York. Bugg's picker was patented in November 1S85, and the manufacture began in February, 1886. A test shows that it picked 76* per cent, of the cotton in a field on the first trial. The picker weighs 990 pounds, and is driven over a row of cotton plants. A number of rotary picker stems pass by vertical endless belts among the plants forward and back to the rear. The pickers have small pins bent downward and whirl around as they move. The pins catch the cotton until filled, when they are withdrawn from the plant by the belt into a receiving department. The cotton is unwound from the pins by a reverse movement, and is carried by the elevator to a bag at the back of tho machine. The driver can stop operations at any time. ? The coachman as a masher is still getting in his work at the North. The latest, gossip in New York is over the marrhige of Miss (Jrace Morse, a grand niece of Commodore Vandcrbilt, to George Million, her father's coachman. The Morse family lived in Tarrytown, and, with plenty of money, the members moved in the best society. It is presum? ed the bride is not good looking, as the customary adjectives do not accompany the announcement of the marriage. The groom's father has been convicted of burglary, aud the father and mother of the groom live in an unsavory neighbor? hood. A day or two ago Minton drove Mr. and Mrs. Morse to the Tarrytown depot and they left for New York, while he returned to the house, found Miss Morse awaiting him, and taking her to a minister they were married and immedi? ately left for parts unknown. ? Congressman Willis, of Kentucky, insists that a Congressman's lot is not a happy one. In his district there are 12,000 Democratic voters and he declares that 3,000 of them have applied to him for office. He says that his district could have supplied every office in tho gift of theGoverument with a suitable candidate. ALABAMA EVIDENCE. Birmingham, Ala. Messrs. "Westmoreland Bros., Greou ville, S. C?Gentlemen : I have boen much pleased with the oil'ect of your Calisaya Tonic, having consumed the two bottles sent to mo by you.
