The bill to make a new State out of Dakota has passed the Senate, but it is thought the House will defeat the scheme of the Republican politicians by extra-constitutional methods to bring another State in the Union to affect the Presidential election. It is now said that Congressman Smalls will probably vote the Demo cratic ticket at the next election. We hope this is not true. We have rascals enough of our own, without borrowing from the Radical party. Let Smalls stay where he is. He is in congenial company, The fact that General Hancock had buried all of his children before he died, leads the Augusta Chronicle to remark that he had outlived many whom he loved. The world had been long a pil grimage of sorrow. May he awaken where his children beckoned to him from the eternal abode! Ninety-eight per cent, of the State taxes for the fiscal year have been paid, and the State treasury has now a half million dollars to its credit. It is thought that in the course of two or three years we will catch up the lost tax year without any extra levy, if the Legislature will refrain from spending aU the money it can get its hands on in some wild speculation. TnE Memphis Appeal notes that, ac cording to official statistics, the eggs laid in the United States in the course of a year are worth twice as much as the silver product of the same period, yet neither Congressmen or newspapers ever quarrel about eggs or the farmers whose hens lay them, while "the mine owners must have every attention, en gross every consideration and find talk for every tongue." It is currently reported that Attor ney General Garland will be asked to resign his seat in the Cabinet, owing to revelations concerning his connection with the Pan-Electric Telephone devel opments. If he is interested in any en terprise that would be benefitted by his action in the Bell Telephone business he should step down and out at once. Our Democratic Administration must not have any Republican methods. The impression is growing stronger that the Republican Senators have taken water on the proposition to de mand papers of the department heads in cases of suspended officials, but in stead they wilt endeavor to embarrass the administration by picking out quite a number of this class for absolute re jection. Mr. Edmunds has objected to the confirmation of a collector in Ver inrnt, and nearly all of the Republican Senators will select a man for rejection. The play of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is now played at greatly reduced prices. The great evil for which "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was written to assis*; in remedy ing, is now a dead issue. The adapta tion of the story to the stage was never a great dramatic success, but it contain ed opportunities for dog acting, and dog actors have for some tihie past been ;he rage. But the dogs have had their day, and the reduced prices which have been resorted to as an expedient to keep the interest in Uncle Tom from dying out, will have to be still further reduced. James Madison Wells, a famous Republican politician of the reconstruc tion era in Louisiana, has become old, poor and blind. His former political lapses have now returned to plague him with their malodorons memory. He was a native southerner, but in the mad hunt for gain lent himseR' to methods so questionable as to destroy alike self respect, his well considered methods for the aggregation of person al pelf, his standing in the evil cohorts among whom he had aligned himself, and what was more disastrous to him, the "thirty pieces of silver" for whose possession he had risked all that a man should hold dear. The death of Mr. Seymour, following .so closely that of General Hancock, and with in a few months of that of General McClellan, leaves living but one of the Presidential candi dates of the Democratic party during the score of years from 18G0 to 1880, Douglas and Rreckinridge, McClellan, Seymour, Greeley and O'Conor, Tilden. Hancock, this is the list, and of tho eight iin-.n whose names an1 mi it only one, the retired Sage of Greystone, who was allowed to stand aside in 1880 be cause of his physical weakness, is liv ing. The retrospect, says the New York Times, is curious as showing the phases through which the Democratic party has passed in much less than the average life of a generation. The Struggle or Fraud* 11 is wonderfully strange how men will Strive to defend a title to anything that has been acquired by fraud. Any wea pon is lawful in such a warfare, whether it be truth or falsehood, honesty or dis honesty, blame or praise, right or wrong, all will be used to urge on the contest and accomplish the end proposed. It is the struggle of a drowning man sink ing into his fluid foundation and any straw will be made available for help. The bloodiest wars recorded in history have been those fought to establish the fraudulent claim of some ambitious prince; the most disastrous feuds in a community are those based upon the flimsiest foundations; and the most bit ter and deadly quarrels, between indi viduals are those originating from fic titious titles to property. Indeed, fraud seems to carry men, all things being equal, to greater lengths than honesty, and the greater the fraud the greater the efforts to defend it. The reason of this is found in the fact that exposure is social death, if nothing more. We have a very striking illustration, of this struggle in the war waged at the pres ent time against the Administration by the Bell Telephony monopoly to per petuate their patent obtained, it is charged, by fraud and misrepresenta tions. The Secretary of the Interior, after investigating the facts -in the case, decided that legal proceedings were demanded to set aside the Bell patent on the ground of fraud. The I Government in its own defense, having [granted the patent, ordered, through the Attorney General, a suit to be in stituted, and directed the Solicitor Gen eral t to take charge of the matter. Hence, the marshaling of all the forces this powerful monopoly, backed it is thought by railroad and steamship rings, can command. It has an organ ized lobby in Washington to influence Congress; a strong brigade of Republi can newspaper men, enlisted by bribery and bounties, to shape public opinion in New York, the Eastern States and the West; a strong force of slanderers, stationed at stategic points, to abuse Democrats and to manufacture politi cal capital to be used against the Dem ocratic party in 1888; and, indeed, they have left no stone unturned, the turn ing of which promises to cripple the hands of the President and to weaken the influence of the present adminis tration. AU that money can do and malignity accomplish will be done by the Bell Telephone Company and its coadjutors to save a patent that yields its members the snug little income of 312,000,000 per year. The scientific principles which con trol the action of the Electric Tele phone were first discovered by a man named Reiss, while the speaking and ear utensils were invented by an Italian named Antonio Meucci, who filed a caveat as early as December 28, 1871, which was renewed for several years after. Mr. Elisha Gray's claim, how ever, seems to have been the only one in competition with the Bell claim and would have received the patent had it nnc been for corrupt collusion with Re publican officials under the old regime. What will be the final outcome of this suit is difficult to foresee; but there is one thing of which wc do feel sure and that is, that President Cleveland will stand as firm in the position he has taken as "a stone wall," until the Gov ernment is vindicated and justice is done by the courts. Gen. W. s. Hancock. Considering the relations Gen. Han cock sustained to the South during the last two-ahd-a-half decades, the an nouncement of his death has fallen with unusual solemnity upon our peo ple, and the reason may be found in the record of an honest man, a brave soldier, and a pure statesman. About twenty-live years ago he was first met with in the ranks of our enemies, light ing as bravely and manifesting a spirit of devotion to the Union cause as sin cere and decided as the most violent abolitionist in the Northern army. In deed, he seemed to have been an impla cable foe, whose zeal was admired and whose achievement on the fields were applauded by every comrade in their ranks. A few years later, when the purposes for which he had fought were realized, and peace waa supposed to have been established throughout the country, he is again met with as a com mander of one of the military depart ments of the South, struggling as bravely to save the Constitution of his country from further desecration by the very men who before had admired his devotion and applauded his conduct. Gen. Hancock, in this instance, was ready to sacrifice his position, indeed, life itself, not specially for the main tenance of peace or to protect the peo ple of the South, but to perpetuate the principles for which he had fought and to save the country which he loved so well. In war he was every inch a sol dier, defending what he believed to be right without cruelty to the persons or devastation to the homes of those he opposed ; so in peace, he was every inch a patriot, devoted to right, oven to the extent of protecting the persons and homes of his former enemies at the ex pense of his position among his former friends. In the two relations, friend and foe, Gen. Hancock was found by the South to be an honest man, devoted to duty in whatever path it led him; it is no wonder, therefore, that the nomination of such a -man for the Presidency in 1880 was welcome news to the people of the South, and that the counting of the ballots proved that she again merited at the hands of the North the honorable appellation of "The Solid South." Now, in consideration of the character of the man and the reputation he bore, is it any wonder that the tidings of his sud den death calls forth so many letters of condolence to his bereaved widow from so many Southern States. The grief of our people because of the death of Gen. Hancock is sincere, and the history of our country will contain few brighter pages to Southern eyes than those which record the physical and moral bravery, the patriotism, the statesmanship, the achievements, and the purity of char acter and reputation of Gen. W. S. Han cock. _ The Reaper's Work. The people of the United States have not yet recovered from the shock occa sioned by the death of Gen. Hancock, and yet, in the midst of their grief, comes the sad intelligence that Gov. Horatio Seymour, one of New York's best and most trusted citizens, has fallen. Verily trouble seldom comes alone even to a stricken nation as to a berieved family, and the mourner's garb falls with all its deep solemnity upon the shoulders of the nation as upon the Sttte of New York. - " ? Gov. Seymour's history is well known throughout the tJnion, but perhaps he is more closely identified with the South and remembered by our people in consequence of his being the first Democratic candidate for the Presi dency after the war. In this cam paign we saw the first glimmer of hope for our subjugated South as it reflected, dimly it may have been, from the Dem ocratic body collected together from the scattered sections of the county. Organized with Seymour and Blair as leaders, the nation felt that there-was energy and power in the old party yet. The Democracy took courage at the sight, but the Republicans saw it and trembled. Mr. Seymour, after the election, re tired to his home in Utica and lived his remaining years in honor and "silent dignity." No section of the Union feel a deeper grief for this fallen patriot and statesman than the people of the South. _ Crack Your Whip. Some of the fertilizer companies are mad because we published their wares in the fraud's list a week or two ago, and one agent went so far as to say we ought to be prosecuted for libel. AH right. Go ahead. Such talk don't frighten us worth a cent. Radical ras cals here in Orangeburg have lied on us and threatened us time and again, because we have exposed their rascajiv ties, but it did not have a feather's weight with us. We went right on, calling a spade a spade, and a thief a thief, and we expect to do it to the end of the chapter. This paper is published in the interest of the best people of this county, and it makes no difference to us what the consequences may be, we expect to discharge our duty faithfully and fearlessly to the public. All we have to say is, that we can not be bull dozed or turned aside from doing r, plain dut}. So, if any of the fertilizer com nies want to sue, let them crack their whips. In the meantime we would warn them to sell an honest artiele this year, or they may not get. paid for it next fall. The eyes of the farmers are open now, and don't you forget it. All Atlanta Sen-.at ion. Sensation is essential to the prosper ity of Atlanta. On it her citizens thrive and grow rich. Hence, we are not sur prised to hear there will be a legal suit over the remains of J. W. Pierce or Weaver, who was killed in the fatal Georgia Pacific-East Tennessee dip aster. The West View Cemetery took steps to return the remains over to Mrs. Weaver. Mrs. Pierce went before the Superior Court, and Judge Clark granted a temporary injunction against the removal of the body. This is a very peculiar case. Two women are claiming a dead man as their former husband, and are having a lively time in the courts over the corpse. Tho matter promises to be a real picnic for the Atlanta public, and rather than have it not come off we have no doubt but that a public subscription would be passed around to pay the costs of the suits. Atlanta must be boomed. So-Called Reformers. The Columbia correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle, says: "There is some dispute among the friends of the different gentlemen as to who is the real leader ol the so-called reform movement in South Carolina. The friends of Captain Tillman claim the credit for him, and those of Colonel Tupper, of the Summerville Herald, say that the latter gentleman inaugu rated the movement." What difference does it make who in augurated the movement. We hope these gentlemen are not claiming pri ority in tins matter for tho sake of try ing to get office, if the movement does come to anything. Office seeking should be left to the politicians, by the re formers. Wearc afraid the whole thing is gotten up for the purpose of hood winking the fanners, and fooling thcin ! into electing a few sore-heads to office. The movement begins to look that way I to us. The people of St. Paul, Minn., are howling because milder weather is dis solving their ice castle. Some folks are never satisfied. Columbia Volition. I The election of mayor and aldermen of the city of Columbia takes place | about the first of April. Those most prominently mentioned in connection with the office of Mayor are Col. J. T. Ithett, the present Incumbent, Col. J. Q. Marshall, the commander of the Pal metto regiment, and Mr. W:McB. Sloan, a member of Council for the First ward. Without disparaging the qualifications of either of the other gentlemen men tioned, we do not think that Columbia could do better than to give Col. J. T. Rhett another term. He is certainly a model officer, and should be kept in office just as long as he will serve. A despatch says the coke syndicate in and around Pittsburg where the miners are on a strike will make an effort to put negroes to work. This is a splendid opportunity for some of our colored fellow-citizens to test the love of the Yankee brother. Blaine turns up as the friend of the silver dollar. Indeed, the Plumed Knight has never shown any ill-feeling toward a dollar of any kind. It is but just to Mr. Blaine to say that never has a poor deserted dollar come his way but that he took it in and cared for it. Six Accommodating Wives. The atteutlon of Gen. Hancock. Com mander of the United States troops at Governor's island and in the bay forts, has been tragically called, to the peculiar matrimonial methods of some of his soldiers. Near Fort Hamilton is a ho tel long infamous as the home of great thieves and training place for great pugilists. It was until lately, kept by Red Leary, of continental fame as a pro nouuced scoundrel, and he made it a hiding refuge for criminals. Its present hostess is Pauline Ramsey. Peter Hanson coramittefi suicide there a few days ago, because his bride, who boarded there, insisted on informally di vorcing herself from him and marrying a Sergeant Berden, one of Gen. Hancock's subordinates. The young wife was a pretty "daughter of Mrs. Ramsey, and investigation proves that two of her sis ters are the wives of Corporals stationed at Fort Hamilton. Altogether seven couples, composed of regular army men and Brooklyn girls, are liviug in the neighborhood. Marriage ceremonies have legally united them, but in every case there is an agreement that the wedlock shall cease on the transfer of the soldiers to another post. The six wives have positively promis ed to be deserted without ado, and their matrimony amounts practically to an enlistment for the uncertain term of their husband's stay in his neighborhood. Mrs. Ramsey is understood to have in vented the peculiar system which Gcu. Hancock will at once destroy, if he can. Two of the men are believed to have wives elsewhere, and if so they will be prosecuted for bigamy. Gen. Huncock's Early Life. In his early manhood the late Gen. ?iluncock was said to have been the handsomest man In the army. He mar ried quite early in life Miss Russel, of St. Louis, whose grandfather on the maternal side was Mr. Dubois, an old resident of New Orleans, whose place of business was on St. Charles street, between Gravier and Union. During the last campaign in Florida against the Seminole Indians, General Han cock, then Captain Hancock, was as sistant quartermaster under Major Mc Kintry, and made his headquarters at Fort Myers, on the Caloosahatchie river. Although holding a subordinate posi tion, Captain Hancock displayed such marked, ability and developed such wonderful executive capacity that he was entrusted by Gen. Harney, then in command of the district, with the most important duties. Nearly all of the young officers stationed at that time at Fort Myers afterward became distin guished during the late war, some of them on the Confederate side. Wonderful Cures. W. D.
