WADE HAMPTON DEFEATED. John Lawrence Manning Irby, of Lau reas, has been elected as Wade Hamp? ton's successor. This result was secured by ring rule. As has been said, "Hamp I ton's place was wanted, Mr. Irby wanted it, and Gov. Tillman decided that his in? terests demanded that Mr. Irby . should : have it. For thoBe reasons, no doubt considered in these peculiar times good ? and sufficient, the caucus rule was applied ." "the caucus line was drawn, the caucus - whip was plied savagely, and all the pressure the administration could com? mand was brought to bear against both Hampton and Donaldson." - Hampton was supported on the ground , of hiB ability and unflinching fidelity to . the interests of the Democracy and his constituency. His friends used his past ? record and pressed his election, not in ??: the interests of any set of men, but as a sound, and true, and tried Democrat. Mr. Donaldson was run as an Alliance ' man, and a3 the representative of the >. Alliance. &j, - Mr. Irby, as a politician, beat them s both. In other words, the politicians, as usual, played their cards well, and came off victorious over every other faction. We do most heartily regret Hampton's defeat, and we are of the opinion that - Anderson County's representatives did not represent Anderson County in that matter. As we see it, four mistakes have been committed by the defeat of Hamp? ton : ,^P:^First, a true, tried and able officer is turned out to give place to one that is ? untried. Second, the force brought to bear against him was from a wrong motive. Third, it was not in accord with the will of the people, unless we are miatak ;': en. Fourth, the Alliance men suffered - themselves and their canidate, Mr. r; Donaldson, to be pushed aside by the ."-.politicians. One thing we are glad to see, and that is that Mr. Irby says he "will go to the ^-Senate as a Democrat, and not as a rep r^resentatke of any other organization." f?0 This is certainly the correct position. Themannerand motives that caused HampWa defeat are such as to leave :: -him p.cronger than before, and, so far as ^?'T70 can hear, our people will endorse him ; . ' in 1892 at the ballot box. ?" It is done, and we trust that Mr. Irby ; V - may come np to the full expectation of his most ardent admirers. The cotton men of Augusta regard thiB as a phenomenal year in the cotton trade, as the crop is remarkable, not only in the tremendous yield, bnt in the diversity of j : the grades. Bight now the financial situation is the question occnpying almost the nndivided attention of the people of this country. Everyone, rich and poor alike, is inter? ested in the question of relief, and the question of the best method of increasing the value of currency. The Georgia Honse of Delegates on Monday passed an Act requiring a license ? fee of $10,000 per annum for each dealer in cotton futures. Should the bill pass ' the Senate it will drive them out of the ; State. , A number of the delegates to the National Alliance, which has just closed - its annual session at Ocala, Fla., have is I sued a call for a conference of delegates . from each State to meet in Cincinnati on 5 Monday, the 23rd day of February, 1891, ;? . for the purpose of organizing "a national cl.nnion party." The call is signed by John D. Norris and T. E. Pratt, of South Carolina. We need enter into no argu '=menttoshow why a third party movement .- .would be impracticable in the South, and : why. oar farmers, above all others, are interested in preventing such a move? ment. We belieye the Southern Alli jancemen have too much, sense to engage in any third party foolishness. In 1891, says the Montgomery Adver' iiser, there will be a Farmers' Alliance \ Governor in Kansas, Democratic Gover? nors in twenty-eight States and the Gov . ernorship in two States in dispute. Add t to this that Illinois and Indiana, though they have Eepublican Governors, have . elected Democratic Legislatures. The States now arrayed against high taxeB and the bloody shirt issue number 50, 200,000 inhabitants, against 11,300,000 in . Eepublican States. The Eepublican majority in the present United States Senate represents the sentiment of a small fraction of the American people. - In trying to pas3 the force bill it presents ? the spectacle of minority rule trying to perpetuate itself by unscrupulous means. -. ' v' Commissioner Eaum, of the Pension Bureau, has informed the Secretary of the - Treasury that there will be a deficiency in the appropriations for pensions for the current year of not less than $40,000,000. The amount appropriated by Congress for pensions is $100,000,000, but this appro? priation will be swallowed up and $40> 000,000 besides before the close of the year. It is estimated that an outlay of $175,000,000 or $200,000,000 will be need - ed to settle pension claims before the [summit is reached under the new pension Jaw. This sum is nearly double the amounts required for army and navy purposes and for interest on the public debt It seems that Governor Tillman is asking and is likely to receive more pow? er than has ever been vested in a Gover ; nor of South Carolina. He is a little modest, (?) to say the least of it, in asking bo much in his own favor. Heretofore the people have been a little jealous of their rights, and would not trust any man with too much power. Speaking on ? this subject the Greenville iveu/ssays: . "Governor Tillman is coming it pretty strong. In his message be suggested that ? the Governor should be ex officio a mem? ber of the managing boards of all the I penal and charitable institutions. The |?''nftw' railroad bill, said to have been drawn by the Governor's direction and intro? duced at his request, gives the Governor the power of appointing or removing the Eailroad Commissioners. The new agri? cultural department bill transfers the ? affaire and finances of that department to the Board-of Trustees of Clemson Col . lege, of which Governor Tillman is a Olember. The new phosphate bill gives the control of the phosphate business together with the levy and collection of royalties to a board to be composed of the Governor, Attorney General, Comp? troller General and two other persons, to be appointed by the Governor. The new Military Academy bill places that insti? tution under a board of trustees to con? sist of the Governor, Adjutant General and four other persons, to be appointed, I believe, by the Governor." The defeat of Wade Eampton has caused a genuine ripple of indignation among the womeu, whose instincts are better than man's, and whose judgment of human nature is superior to man's. The Ladies' Memorial Association of Columbia, and various other places, passed some very strong resolutions con? demning the defeat of Hampton, and speaking of the hero of '76 in very warm and touching language. Also, the ladies of Greenville sent to Hon. J. A. Mooney, one of Greenville County's representa? tives, a telegram thanking him and com? mending him for his support: of Carolina's proud son. It is so pleasant to have the noble women to agree with us and com? mend us in our positions. General Hampton is more honored in defeat than he would have been in victory. God bless our true and pure women. OUR COLUMBIA LETTER.. COL?iiciA, 8. C, Dec. 15,1890. Save the election of United States Senator, nothing of very great importance has taken place in the Legislature. Co? lumbia took Hampton's defeat very moch to heart, and several were seen wearing crape; but not all of Columbia were of the same way of thinking, for here and there could be found persons who were cot sympathizers with the sentimental in this matter. The United States Senator, J. L. M. Irby, is a brilliant man, and will make his impress wherever he goes. He is pleasant and engaging in his manners, and has a great deal of tact, as displayed in the management of the iast campaign, as Speaker of the House, and as candi? date for Senator. The State will watch his career in the National Legislative Halls with interest, and I predict for him attention to business, and the needs and wants of his people, and a record not in? ferior to his iliustrions predecessor. This week some important Bills will come up. The ten hour factory law is set for to? morrow. Judging from the petitions and letters received on this question by the Anderson delegation, Anderson County of all classes is opposed to the bill. Con? siderable opposition to any law on the subject has been developed, and it is not improbable that the compromise Bill will be defeated. A Bill, known as a Marriage Bill, has been introduced, and will excite some discussion. It provides for a license, and prohibits marriage, or granting of license, to minors under eighteen years of age. The Judiciary Committee reported un? favorably on this Bill, but a strong effort will be made to pass it in the House. The Metropolitan Police Bill for the city of Charleston was before the Judi? ciary Committee to-night. The object of the Bill is to take the election of Police? men from the City Council and to give it to a Police Commission, composed of five ?two to be appointed by the Mayor and three by the Governor. The Mayor of Charleston, and several other gentlemen, were before the Committee?parties re? presenting both sides. The Bill, I think, will be reported unfavorably, as it tends to take the police government from the people themselves, and as it also tends to centralization of power in the Governor. There is a Bill before the House, and will probably come up cn its second reading to-morrow or next day, to author? ize the Governor, Secretary of State and Comptroller General to designate one pa? per in each County for legal advertise? ments. This Bill is objectionable on the same ground, of centralization of power, and I think will be defeated. The charters of the Western Carolina Railroad Company, and of the Anderson and South Port Railroad Company have passed the House. To morrow is election day for Super? intendent of the Penitentiary, Railroad Commissioners, Trustees of the College, Dhectors of the Peniteutiary, &c. There is some question whether we can elect Railroad Commissioners fo-morrow or not. It looks now as if W. J. Valbert will be elected Superintendent of Peni? tentiary. The Anderson delegation are standing by Earle, of Oconee, and will do what they can for hirn. The educat'onal institutions of the State, I am glad to say, will not be crip? pled, for the Ways and Means Commit? tee have appropriated a sufficient sum for their maintenance. This week will be an important one, for many important Bills will come up for consideration. J. E. B. The Third Party Conference. Kansas City, Mo.,Dec. 15?The fol? lowing is the call for the conference on the third party movement which took shape at the recent convention at Ocala, Florida: "Topeka, Kan., Dec. 15, 1890. "Whereas, in unity there is strength; therefore it is desirable that there should be a union of all the variously named or? ganizations that stand on a common ground. To this end individuals and va? rious States which are here to sign make this call for a national conference to be composed of delegates from the following organizations, namely: Independent party, Peoples party, by it* representa? tives ; Union Labor party by its represen? tatives ; Late Federal and Confederate Soldiers, by their representatives; Far? mers' Alliance, Farmers' Mutual Benefit Association, Citizens Alliance, Knights of Labor, Colored Farmers' Alliance and all other independent organizations that support the principles of the St. Louis agreement of December, 18S9. Each State organization to send one delegate from each congressional district and two from the State at large ; and each dis? trict organization to send not less than three delegates and each County organi? zation not less than one delegate, to be chosen according to the custom of each respective organization during the month of January 1891; also that the editor of each newspaper is hereby invited as a delegate that has advocated the princi? ples of the St. Louis agreement and sup? ported the candidates nominated thereon in 1890; the delegates to meet in Cincin? nati, Ohio, on Monday the 23rd day of February, 1891, at 2 o'clock, for the pur? pose of forming a national union parly based upon the fundamental ideas of fi? nance, transportation, labor and land, and the transaction of other legitimate business in the furtherance of the work already begun by those organizations preparatory to a united struggle for country and home in the great political conflict now pending that must decide who in this country is the sovereign? "the Citizen or tba dollar." _ It is estimated that Indian wan have cost the Government *70,000,QCfc CRUXES USD CASUALTIES. Columbia, S. C, Dec. 13.?A few nighls since, Mr. S. H. Clamp, a wealthy farmer living near Blythewocd, in Fair field county, was, while going home after selling cotton in Columbia, beset by a gang of desperate highway robbers, and, being rendered unconscious by a blow on the head, was robbed of ?400, with which the robbers made off. He was found la? ter by friends, and it is now thought he will die from hie severe wounds. No clue to the perpetrators has been secured. Chambersburg, Pa., Dec. 10.?Polk Wilson, a well-known character about town, was sent to jail to day by Justice Haveman, lor eighty days, under the Pennsylvania blue laws Acts of 1794, for swearing eighty profane oaths. The pen? alty for profane swearing is 67 cents for each oath, or in default of payment thereof, one day in jail for each oath. Wilson would not pay the fine of ?53.G0 for the oaths indulged in during a drunk on Saturday night, so he went to jail for eighty days. A conviction under the blue laws is a very rare occurrence in this State. Newberry, December 13.?There was a fearful accident on the construction train of the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Railroad about one mile above here this afternoon, by which Conductor Walling and two negroes were killed and several others injured. The engine was pushing several flats loaded with iron and crossties. One of the cars loaded with crossties jumped the track, and in some way shoved under the car loaded with iron rails and turned it over. On this car were Conductor Ja3. T. Walling and several of his hands. Walling and two negroes were instantly killed. Another negro had his arm smashed by a heavy iron and was otherwise injured, and will probably die. Several others were slight? ly hurt. Walling is from Columbia, and leaves a wife and one child. The inquest was held this afternoon. S. L. Stroud, a young farmer living five miles above the city, near Maydell post office, killed Drury Jewell, another young farmer, at 4 o'clock yesterday morning, by cutting him with a knife and clubbing him with a gun. The homicide occurred at Mr. Stroud's house, and the body of thp dead man was allowed to lay where it had fallen until some time during yesterday. From information gathered it seems that Pike Barbary went to Stroud's house at 4 o'clock in the morning to have a conver? sation with him. At first Barbary want? ed Stroud to come out but be refused to go. Whilo talking a rap was heard at the door. Stroud stepped to the door and opened it. The first thing he bsw were the barrels of a double-barreled shot gun. With his bands he knocked the gun away and stepping behind the door, quickly drew his pocket knife and opened it. Jewell advanced into the door. Jumping from behind the door Mr. Stroud again pushed the gun to one side and closed on Jewell, cutting him first in the left breast, uear the heart, and then cutting his throat almost from ear to ear. He continued to gash Jewell, and at last' took the gun away from him and battered it almost to pieces over his head and body. Picking the body up he threw it^out into the yard. The real cause of the* difficulty is not known. It is said, however, that an old feud existed between Mr. Stroud and Jewell, and that Jewell had been talking about Mr. Stroud's wife. When he was asked about it he did not deny it. Mr. Stroud was still at his home yesterday morning and it is supposed will come in and surrender himself to Sheriff Gilreath. It is also believed that Barbary and Jew? ell went to Mr. Stroud's house for the purpose of enticing him out and doing him harm.?Greenville News, 13rfA. Gordon in the Alliance. Senator John B. Gordon is an Alliance man. He has at least accepted an invi? tation to join the Order, and the ceremo? nies attendant upon his initiation will be conducted in solemn form. Those who know all about it say the time is fixed for Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and the initiation will most likely occur in the lodge room of the Decatur Alliance. Some ot the farmers in the House of Representatives, however, say that ar? rangements have been made to have the Decatur Alliance come to Atlanta in a body and conduct the ceremonies in room 21 of the Capitol so as to allow each of the Alliance legislators a chance to wit? ness the notable event. Mr. Tatum, the Representative of Dade County in the House, said yesterday to a Constitution.reporter: "Oh, yes, Gordon is going to join the Alliance. I have known it some time, and was invited to go down to Decatur Friday to witness the swearing in, but it has been postponed until Tuesday evening. It was rumored that the initiation was to have taken place this evening in the Capitol, but I don't think it could have been true, for I certainly think my invitation would have been extended. Yes, indeed, Gor? don's all right." ? The total population of the country, including Indians, &c, will reach 63, 000,000. Already the Census Office has actually returned, iu round numbers, 315,000 Indians and whites in the Indian Territory. These, with the population of Alaska, which Special Agent Petroff estimates at 38,000, will bring up the total population of the country to 63,000, 000, a numercial gain of 13,000,000 for the last decade. ? Only Christian* are permitted to serve on juries in Russia, without special permission. ? The highest Church Bpire in the world has just been completed. It is that of the cathedral at Olm, Wurtemberg, and is five hundred and thirty feet high. ? The Boston Transcript says that the latest thing is to drop the M. in the ab? breviation a. m.t and p. ra., as for in? stance: The Rev. Phillips Brooks will preach next Sunday at 11 a. and 4.30 p. " ?Mrs. Horace Wheeler, of Providence, R. I., had her husband sent to jail the other day for stealing her diamonds. The old man will be discharged, as in Rhode Island a husband and wife cannot steal from each other. ? President Polk, of the National Farmers' Alliance, has named Friday, February 6tb, 1881, and Washington, D. O, as the time and place for holding the : first meeting of the National Legislature Council, which is composed of the Na? tional President, and all the Presidents of all State Alliauces, ? Sila3 Bryant, a colored man living near McNeill's, was Bhot and instantly killed Saturday night by Charles Wil? liams, also colored. Bryant heard a noise among his chickens and went out to in? vestigate, when he was shot from ambush. The verdict of the jury of inquest fixe3 the crime on Williams, who ha3 escaped. ?Hampton Guardian. ? Early in April about one third of the Crow reservation in Montana will be thrown open to settlers. The Government has just purchased 1,500,000 acres for $948,000. The land is now used for grazing, and is well adapted to the uses of general agriculture. A great rush will be made for these fertile fields, which for many years have excited the cupidity of settlers. ?To cure a felon, says a correspondent, mix equal parts of strong ammonia and water, and hold your finger in it for fif? teen minutes. After that withdraw it and tie a piece of cloth completely saturated with the mixture around it and keep it there till dry. If this treatment is adopted when the ailment is at first real? ized, the pains will cease at once. ? There are over 80,000 stuttering children in the schools of Germany. The increase has been so great during the past four years that the defect is consid? ered contagious. The famous Dr. Gutz man is authority for the statement that the increase is due to the mimicry ; that the young mimics who imitate stutterers soon become involuntary stutterers. The schools of the city of Breslau have a total of 2,400 stuttering children. ?The South Carolina Legislature have defeated General Wade Hampton for United States Senator, and sent Mr. John Lawrence Irby iu hi3 stead. Tbe people of that State may know what they are doing, but one thing is certain, they have deprived themselves of a representative in the higher bouse of Congress who commands universal respect, and has served his ?ecti?n and people for years with fidelity and ability. They will, in all probability, live to regret their action, but States, as well as individuals, do not always know when to let well euough alone.?Richmond Times. WARNING.
