THM MIG TIXCESU WEDNESDAY, AN. 12, 188l. '. S. DINKINS, Editor. TWO AUDITORS. Quite an anomalous state of affairs exists ih the aucditor's office. Capt. D J. Bradham, the newly appointed auditor, on receiving his commission dated the 26th of December, 1886, took charge of the office with the con sent of the incumbent, Junius E. Scott, Esq. Subsequently Mr. Scott discov ered that his commission did not ex pire until the 28th of January, 1887. Then the question arose, who is the auditor of Clarendon County to Janu ery the 28th? Both gentlemen claim the position, and each have the seal oi the State, vesting him with the of fice. It is a pleasure to note that the nost perfect harmeny prevails be tween the contestants, and they have very amicably referred their respect ive claims to the Governor for his adjudication. We have no desire to, in this way, promote the chances of either party, but viewing the matter as we do, it is very clear that the facts are in favor of the old auditor, Mr. Scott. When ever the State by its commission un der seal vests an office in a party for a specified length of time, it becomes an inherent right and cannot be ta ken away except for cause. Nor can any Executive or Legislatrra invali date any such grant vested by their predecessors. The commission ap pointing the auditor creates the privi lege of holding the office 'till the ex piration of the time mentioned there in. But this anomaly, which is calcu lated to make confusion in the admin istration of the county government, should not, be allowed by the Execu tive of the State. IS HE MAD? A letter from Capt B. R. Tillman to the News and Courier is on the outside of this Tmss. The letter elims to be a reply to certain com aments of the News and Courier on the deat of the "farmers agricultural bll," but Capt. Tillman uses the op portunity to open his mind to those who were instrumental in defeating that measure. He is evidently sore nor does he mind letting people see that he is mad. As usual the legal fraternity are the targets for his splenetic shafts, "My old friends, the lawyers," he says, "took advantage of the fuss kicked up by Messrs. You gnans and Wofford to plant a sly dag ger in Tmlman's side and slap their agricultural constituents who hava joined the farmers movement in the face." In truth, "Farmer Tillman', must have allowed his hobby-horse to run him mad when he charges such men as Islar, McMaster, Patterson, Bhiame, Howell, Munroe, and Smythe, whose names are an honor to their State, with being influenced by petty jealousy and a mean spirit of revenge in casting their vote. Again, in summing up, Capt. Till mnan gives these reasons why the ag ricultural bill was defeated: "Of course some of the senators voted against it because of their resentment against Tifman dictation; some rot ed-two at least-because they nev er vote against one of the Senators from Charleston; others voted against it because I arm credited with having bad much to do with the slaughter of the Columbia Canal, and the Ring wanted revenge; some voted against it because farmers and farmers' move ments stink in their nostrils. But the real cause, though many senators do notknow it, perhaps, is that the phosphate interests of the State are controlled by the department of agri eniture, anad the Coosaw Mining Comnpany is toowell satisfied with the present management of that interest to allow achange if it could prevent It is unhappily apparent that no one of the 21 senators who opposed the agricultural bill is credited with bonesty or sincerity in his opposition. aslice, pique, desire for revenge, ig norance, and all the little low mean cussedness that Capt. Tillman can command he lays at their door. Capt. Tillman's pointless shafts will tall harmless where they are aimed, and rebound to his own injury. It is safe andno more than justice to as sert that the mnen who opposed the agricultural bill acted with as much good faith as its well wishers. But Capt. Tillman is verily mad, and when he cools off let us pray that he will heed the divine command, S'Judge not, that ye be not judged." REFORMS PROPOSED BY GEN. H AGOOD. Every plan or suggestion for econ omic reform does some good, although its projector may never live to see his scheme adopted. It teaches the peo ple to think of this important feature of the government, and is that much form-r to digest. Taxes the tax-pay er - ' heartily deprecates, and any thing proposed to diminish this bar den of citizenship is devoured wit1 avidity. On this subject which i ample for measures of retrenchmen 'Gen. Hagood in a conversation wit! "N. G. G." of the NXews and Courie? published in the issue of the 10t] inst., has thrown out some sugges tions that might well afford though for our Representatives 'till the nes Legislature. Gen. Hagood does not believe ther is any extravagance in the administra tion of the Executive branch of th government. He says: "I was in th Comptroller General's office fou years and know every salary, fror Bill Rose's up. You might scrap $10 from his pay and a proportionat amount from the salaries of the clerk and State officers, and might reduc the expenses a thousand dollars i: this way, but it would impair the ser vice. The leaks, he says, may be foun, in the Lunatic Asylum, the Penitenti ary, and the county administration. When he was Governor Gen. Ha good said there wereover 600 patient in the asylum, and all but about 2 were supported by the State. It i evident, he continued, there are great many people in the asylum wh have no business there, at the expens of the State. The remedy he give for this is that the counties be requir ed to support their lunatics. Thei the officials directly accountable t the voter would be more careful t see that the beneficiaries to the Asy lum had not the means to pay thei expenses. The penitentiary, he says, shoul be made sustaining. For ten year we have had from 600 to 1000 con victs under sentence, and yet in onl; one year did the State receive an; profit from their labor. They shoul< be made to earn their own living. I it were not for the stigma whic1 would attach to convict ownershiy Gen. Hagood asserted that he woul< be willing to lease the whole peniten tiary. Why I would be willing nos to pay from $90 to $110 for convict to work on my plantation. To make the penitentiary profita ble to the State Gen. Hagood propos ed that the Superintendent be allow ed to make contracts for work all ove the State. Put him in a positioi where he can bid for the grading of i railroad or any other job of that kind He can establish camps wherever th work is to be done, and have the con victs under the control of the peniten tiary. There is nothing to preven the establishment of a dozen branche in different parts of the State If there is work to be done il Colleton or in Pickens, le safe stockades be built for the con vits and put them to work there. About the County Government Gen. Hagood says: "Our county expenses are altogeth er too great. In Radical days the State levy used ta be as high as ten o: twelve mills. We have cut that dowi to four and a quarter mills. Yet the levy for ordinary county purposes which used to be about three mills i2 the worst days of Radicalism, is jus as high now. Why can't we reduct the county as well as the State levy We have too many county officers The work is divided between a num ber of men who are generally poorla paid, instead of being commnitted to few well salaried officers, who couk better perform it. But our whola county system is cumbrous and un Buited to the State. It is too expen sive for a sparse population. It re minds me," concluded the General with a half smile and a humerous twinkle of the eye, "of a man buying an elephant to draw a bull tongu< plough.'' There is, at least, a great deal it what Gen. Hagood has said about thi penitentiary. The inmates of this in stitution should be made to earn thei: own living. The institution itsel should bring revenue to the State. T< reach this end, what Gen. Hagood ha said appe ars most feasible. Short Weights in Cotton, Another Letter from Farmer. Ma. EDrTOR : On reading the edito rial comments of News and Courier Dec. 27th, the quaint words of Frank lin in 1769, occur to me: "A single man may be afraid o: ashamed of doing injustice; * **' by dividing the shame among them it is so little apiece that no one mind; How applicable to Charleston Cot ton Exchange ! I do not think or suppose for a mo ment that Capta.in Dawson intendei to do me any intentional discourtesy You must reflect that he is in th4 midst of "bulls" and "bears," and re member the words of Rabelaio abou that "ill-bird" and '-its own nest."] am very much obliged to you, and an sure my farmer friends will appreci ate your just and manly explanation It has brought the adidarits out. "Resolved; That the Exchange does not believe the charge that there is ralsification of weights of cotton b2 any cotton factor, &c." ho said there was by any particu. lax factor ? - "Qui s'excuse &accuse." "Resolved: * ** * is utterly un warrantable and groundless." The waters of moral truth are not 1 darkened by any such cnttle-fish as s sertion to hide that pertinent ques t tion, 2 WHERE ARE THE SA.MLES !? Who did or could expect any other conclusion to be arrived at when it 2 was recommended in Report of their - special committee, t "To pay no further attention to such t complaints, for it is not in the prov ince of the Exchance to investigate cases of simple loss in weights." WHERE ARE THE SAMPLEs?!!! - "Who put him (the cotton) in ?" "Little Johny Green." "Who took him (the samples "so called") out?" r "Little Johny Stout." 2 Where is the cat-the drowned, the a dead cat-"the old trouble"-that stench in the nostrils of all who ship cotton to Charleston ? WHERE ARE THE SAMPLES e Nose them up! investigate! 2 Charleston Cotton Exchange!! How can the bales weigh more af ter they, the "so-called" samples are extracted ? STELL us! - Mr. Barrett, sworn weigher for Com mercial Wharf certifies according to printed statement of INews and Couri r Dec. 28, 1886, "S N viz: No. 41, 478." 3 Oct. 7th." Mr. Phillips, smorn weigi er, according to printed statement of s News and Courier Dec. 28th, 1886, cer tifies "S N No. 41, 487," Oct. 7." There is evidently a difference bE tween their weights of nine (9) pound:! 3 "No. 41" weighed here for me "by s book of S. M. Nixon, 513 pounds -greater difference still! WHo HAS MADE THE MISTAKE ? A letter from the Pee Dee section says: "Have ceased to ship to Charles 2 ton-cannot afford the loss on weights." A farmer, most worthy, respectable r Christian gentleman says: "If was not so bound up by my factors, would haul all my cotton to Sumter--twenty I miles-where I could see them weigh ed." - Farmers, in words of Nezws ar d Cou rier in answer to Abbeville Press and Banner "not noodles or ninnies" are afraid to complain, even about the loss of weights of cotton in Charles f ton, when they pay 10 to 12 per cent. for bread and bacon to make cotton under contract to deliver - bales running? the illegal interest to much over 27 per cent. What industry can - live at such a rate of interest? What r people can remain virtuous under such demoralizatfon ? The time vAY come when in the im mortal phrase of Silas Wegg the trade - of the poor old City may begin to "de - cline and fall off" -then let that ab . sorbent body, "our entire community" (the Charleston Cotton Exchange) not flee the land; or now forget to answer the timelythough apparently offensive question so repeatedly and continu ously asked from beginning to end of this, to me distasteful, though con scientious correspondence, Where are the samples ? - S. WKuuis NEIsoN. tFarmer. [From Our Own Correspondent.] t WAsHINGTON, Jan. 8, 1887. That human life is made up of start ling contrasts-is probably nowhere so often felt as at the Capitol of a great nation. On the last day of the old year, amid great pomp and display of official mourning, all that was mortal of one of the most prominent men in American' publicilife, was laid away: in the tomb. The following day was1 the most brilliant one of the Wash ington social season, and the gay1 world of fashion began its round of festivals. At the beginning of this new year,1 it ismore difficult than usual to let the dead past bury its dead. Visions of the future will mingle with reflec tions of days that are gone. Death made an exceptional havoc among leading men in 1886, as is shown by the names of Hancock, Tilden, Me Clellan, Arthur, Hendricks, and Lo-' .gan. At the funeral of C aeral Logan, held in the Senate Chamber, were present men and women rapresenting the highest and lowliest people in the country. Of his comrades in arms, Generals Sherman, Sheridan, " and Oglesby were prominent, with hun dreds of others. soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic. Members and ex-members of both houses of Con gress, with whom he had served many years, were there, among them the notable figures of Roscoe Conkling and William Evarts, while in front of these sat the members of the Supreme Court and the Cabinet officers. The chair provided for the President was vacant. He was anxious to be pres ent, but the day was exceedingly in clement, and having been confined to' the house for a week previous with another rheumatic attack, his physi cian advised him not to subject him self to the drafts that are so prevalent5 in the Capitol building. No great political measures have 1 been consummated bTring 1886, ex cept that which deals with the Indian t question, but others have been inaug urated, and it yet remains to be seen what shall beco'me of a protective tar- ~ iff. a currency agitation. the Blair ed ucational bill, and further develop- n ments of civil service reform. But] while the region of practical politics have been comparatively barren, movements are on foot which are rap idly forming opinion in one direction or the other for serious legislation in the future. There are, as yet, no coast defenses, and no navy. And will there ever be, Iand have we any real need for either? That is the question. Isit not possible l that the principles of Henry George,~ which have taken~ root in some qnar-r ters, and which will have to be reck one ith in any thorough scheme f social re-adjustment, will also have - hearing upon the anaval question? He says the Amerien Republic has 20 more need for its burlesque of a navy than a peaceable giant would 2ave for a stuffed club or a sword. [t is only maintained for the sake of the officers and the naval rings. In peace it is only a source of expense md corruption; in war it would be useless. We are too strong for any foreign power to wontouly attack, we >ught to be too great to wontonly at tack others. If war should ever bc forced upon us, we could safely rely )n science an d invention, which are :-!ready superseding navies aster than ther can be built. So with our army. li we need, if we evennow need that, is a small force of frontier policemen uch as is maintained in Canada and Australia. Standing navies and ar mies are inimical to the genius of dem Dcracy and it ought to be our pride mi it is our duty, to show the world L'uat a great Republic can dispense with both; and in organization as in principle both our army and navy are rePugnant to the democratic idea. [n both we maintain that distinction between commissioned offiers and common soldiers and sailors wbich rose in Europe when the nobility who furnished the one were consider d a superior race to the serfs and peasants who supplied the other. The whole system is an insult to democra y, and ought to be swept away. Our liplomatic system, too, ir servile]ly co pied from the usage of kings before the ocean steamer and the telegraph were invented. It serves uo purpose ave to reward politicians and occa sionallv to demoralize a poet, To ibolish it would save expense, corrup ion, and national dignity.
