MAlmiso, Sep. 32.-The legislative dele- se gation, consisting of Senator Louis H. Des Champs and Representatives 3. M. Rich- ef ardson and I. M. Woods, met to-day in the cc court house to hear testimony relative to it -~..the charges preferred against Trial Justice KonH Mahoney for drunkenness. The of -affdavits charging Mahoney with drunken- cc ness had been made by E. B. Felder and C. B. Broughton. Governor Tillman referred the matter to Senator DesChamps, who re- tb ported back his recommendations, and ** then, without allowing Mahoney any op portunity of entering a defense, the gover- m nor dismissed him from his offce. b Mr. Mahoney at once employed Mr. MI. be C. Galluchat, of this place, as his attorney, af and Mr. Galluchat visited the governor, to procured copies of all the papers on file rel- fa alive to Mahoney's dismissal, and obtained in the consent of the governor to order the sen ator to have a proper investigation of the at charges against the trial justice, In the meantime petitions were circulated --one for the appointment of a son of Ma- Jy jor DesChamps to fill Mahoney's place, and nel another for Mr. H. S. Briggs. After the P1 governor ordered an investigation, how- hi ever, these petitions were dropped for the present. fri Thetril bganto-day at twelve o'clock, st andlased or ixhours, and resulted in a a complete vindication for Mahoney. One of h the men. C. E. Broughton, who "had made d affdavit againat Mahoney, charging him bt with drunkenness, submitted another aff- b davit withdrawing his first affidavit, and al- e* leging that be had made the charge without ce due consideration. Mr. Felder also failed to substantiate the allegations he had made, and his witnesses failed to testify as he ex pected. It was proved that Mahoney did on the particular occasion take two or three drinks of whisky, but the proof that he P) was drunk or unable to attend to his busi- ti< ness was an utter failure. On the other qi hand it was proven that the reason he did bt not try the cases alleged in the affidavit, k< was because the d fendants in the cases had not been arrested, and there were no a eases to try. It was further proved that on t1 that particular day he had left Pinewood, w where it was alleged he was too drunk to iz: .try any eases, and had gone a few miles to w anther place where he had an engagement gi to try another case; had tried that casec at the appointed hour, and that no one at this last place had suspected that he was in any way intoxicated. At the conclusion of the trial the delega tion retired, and in a few minutes decided 02 that there was no case against Mahoney. w ,o his Excellency, B. R. Tillman, Gov ernor: "Having this day investigated the charges ide against John H. Mahoney, trial jus :e, we respectfully recommend that he be instated to his official position, the evi mee adduced under oath being insuffi ent to convict him of the charges prefer d. [Signed) Louis H. DzsCHArps, Senator. J. M. Ricaannsox, Representative. I. M. WOODS, Representative." Major DecChamps, however, althongb Le evidence was so strong in favor of Ma ney, would not be fully convinced, and ked on the following amendment to the ading: "In signing the above finding of the leg lative delegation from this county. I dc et retract any of the former accusations ] ive made against J. H. Mahoney. [Signed] Loris H. 'DEsCHys, Senator." Mr. Mahonoy has been trial justice foi i or eleven years, and the replacing oi im will give general satisfaction. His hasty removal, witLout a chance of s earing, was strongly condemned by al aprejudiced persons, and many blame Ma or DesChamps, while others, especiall3 [ajor DesChamps and his friends, say tha overnor Tillman is the man to blame foi Every one with whom your correspon ent conversed thinks the re-instatemeni r Mr. Mahoney an act of justice. [News and Courier, &p. 14.4 THE SPOILS OF OFFICE. Family Fight In Clarendon County Trying a Trial Justice. MANNNG, Sepfember 12.-The delegation nsisting of Senetor Loms A. VesChamp ad Representatives Woods and Richard >n, met here to-day for the purpose o: earing the case of Louis H. DesChamps . B. Felder, & Co. vs. J. H. Mahoney, th( cently decapitated trial justice from thii >unty. DesChamps, Felder, & Co. were repre mted by Mr. Richard Felder, and Maho ey was represented by Mr. M. C. Gallu xat, attorney at law. The case was com. tenced at 1 o'clock p. m. and continued ntil 6 o'clock. From what your correspondent can learm .overnor Tillman acted entirely upon the ivice of Senator DesChamps in removing [honey, and as soon as Mahoney gave is side of the affair the Governor ordered thorough investigation. After listening atiently to the evidence the delegation animously voted to have Mahoney reap. Dinted. This places DesChamps in a bad sition, inasmuch as he was the direct use of his removal. What makes it worse r DesChamps than it would otherwise be, that after he recommended that he be re. stated, he adds underneath that he does At withdraw any of the charges against :ahoney. What the governor will do in the case is Lrd to say, as it is rumored that a son ol ,mator DesChamps is an applicant for the mition. As Senator DesChamps remarked your correspondent, taken on the whole, t is a dirty case." Local News. The county commissioners meet next Sat. day. The Manning Academy had six additions st Monday.
