THE MANNING TIMES. LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, January 16, 1S93. The great topic among the news paper fraternity is the coming con stitutional convention, and with- few exceptions all agree that the conven tion should be a non-factional body. We regard this a good sign, and that the day is not far off when there will be a general pulling together for the good of the State. This is as it should be and if faithfully carried out the upheaval we have been having the past four years will finally prove to be for the best. It is suggested in last 31onday's News and Courier by its able Colum bia correspondent that each'punty select one representative from each faction, to meet in Columbia "to go over the ground and come to some areement as to the election of dele gates." We agree with the plan offered by this correspodent, and be lieve that a conferance so selected would devise a plan by which both factions could agree and thus save the Democratic party from being torn asunder by selfish politicians. To represent Clarendon this cor respondent mentions the names of Major Abe Levi, of the Conservative faction, and Captain D. J. Bradham, of the Referm faction. If 3r. Kohn had always lived in Clarendon and was well acquainted with every man in it he could not have selected two bet ter men for the purpose. Major Levi has always been regarded a leading spirit in the Conservative faction at the same time he has always refused to give his support to Independant ism, and we believe that any pledge be would make would be faithfully adhered to by his faction. Captain Bradham has the confidence of the Reform faction and is regarded its leader in this county, and any propo sition agreed to by him would be zealously supported by the Reform ers. If this suggestion is adopted throughout the State, we will surely have a constitutional convention made up of patriots regardless of factional afliations, and one that will bring the white people of the State together in peace and harmony. The Times has always favored a non-factional convention and stands ever ready to do all in its power to aid in bringing about such a result; we believe the future welfare of the State depends upon our people get ting together, and as long as we stand devided into hostile camps, just so long will we keep away those desiring to come among us from abroad. * Already we see that the low price of cotton is driving the large cotton mills from the East, and we can get them here if we will unite and show to them our'advantages, but we can -not do anything as long as we stand apart and say hard things of each in the way of our State government. Let us come together with a full de termination to build up our common interests, regardless of the howling of political wolves. The Marion Star, heretofore a newspaper that endeavored to say meaner things of the State adminis tration than the Columbia State, has changed its politics, and is now be ing published in the interest of the Reform movement. One by one the calamity bowlers change their tunes, and it will not be long before there will not be a newspaper in the State that will oppose the Reform faction. Governor Evans was the recipient of a number of social attentions in Charleston last week, which made the Columbia State turn green with envy. That paper would have re joiced had the Governor been snubbed by the people of Charleston, but the citizens of that city are open ing their eyes to common sense and politeness, and are beginning to see that following indly the lead of those opposed to ie administration does Charleston hL:mr and has cost her thousands of dipars. To start of the ball for suggestions for suitable representatives to the constitutional convention the Times suggests Hon. Joseph F. Rhame and Major Abe Levi, of the Conservative faction, and Hon., James~ E. Tindal and Captain Daniel J. Bradham, of the Reform faction. If a stronger ticket can be suggested we would be glad to have it made. Each one of the above named, are men too well known to the people of Clarendon to Deed any words of praize from us. They have always stood by the Dem ocracy and can be counted on to work for the best interests of the masses. What is needed is a strong delegation and these we name will represent Clarendon with credit. The school question will be one of the most important for the con sideration of the coming constitu tional convention. If there is any thing that needs changing or improv ing it is our free school system. South Carolina makes liberal appro priations for her colleges and it is right that she should; because the institutions of high learning are a pecessity, but these appropriations should not be made at the expense of the "old Seld school" where the children of the poor man look for an education. When the convention -meets, the very first act should be, to put cour home schooils on a solid basis so they can be run at least nine months in the year. If necessary to acconm plish this result, increase the poll and property tax. Instead of having a two mill property tax; make it four mills and raise the poll tax to three dol ar:: then give the taxpayer the right to direct the tax collector to which school he wants his taxes ap plied. With such a scheme South Carolina will have a system of free schools that will educae all of ther children. Congressman McLurin's speech, against the Carlisle bi:l, which was snowed under last week, continues to attract the attention of the United States and be is kept quite busy an swering the requests for copies. The civil appropriation bill re ported to Congress, gives Charles-tou $500,000 to continue the improve ments in the harbor and the work on the jetties. With a first-class har bor and a sensible submission to the will of the majority we see no reason why Charleston cannot take on a new growth and do away with her ancient street cars. Ex-Congressman Tillman's son Jimmie, and Governor Evan's broth er Barney, startled the citizens of Edgefield yesterday by shooting at each other in a lawyer's office. Both were wounded, but not seriously, and it is feared that the trouble be tween these hot-blooded young men is not ended. The cause of the diffi culty dates back to a dance over a year ago, and Evans sueing Tillman on a note. Governor E-ars took the first train for the scene of the difficulty.

URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL IN SENATE. Monday and Saturday in the House, the District of Columbia Days-The In dian Appropriation Bill. Other Matters. WAsIXGTox, January 14.-It is con fidently expected that the urgent defi ciency bill will be out of the way be fore the end of the week that opens in congress today. There will be speeches on the income tax from various repub licans, but there will be no effect at undue delay nor will the republicans countenance fillibustering. Despite the opposition of Mr. Quay, which has ne cessitated several roll calls, and the fight that Mr. Iill is making, as soon as the republicans have made the speeches arranged for, they will have a vote on the bill and will largely sup port the appropriation. Mr. Cockrell expects to see the vote taken by Wed nesday, and says the bill will have at least fifty votes out of the total vote of eighty-five as the senate now stands. Nicaraguan canal bill is still the un finished business. The pension, mili tary academy and the fortifications ap propriation bills have all been report ed to the senate and Mr. Cockrell ex pects to call them up as fast as possible. The canal bill, while retaining its right of way, will probably yield to the ap propriation bills when they are called up. The interest in the senate this week will centre about the room of the finance committee rather than upon the proceedings of the floor with one exception. Mr. Gorman's promised speech on the financial question, which was to have been delivered Saturday will probably be today. The Week Iu the House. The business to be considered in the house this week will be probably ar ranged by the committee on rules at a meeting to be held today. Two days are already appropriated, Monday and Tuesday, to be devoted to the consider ation of business relating to the Dis trict of Columbia and Tuesday will be at least partly occupied with the con sideration of the Indian appropriation bill. In the first morning hour de voted to committee business the Grout bill to make oleogemarine, butterine and other substitutes of dairy products subject to the laws of the state intc which they may be transported will come up and inevitably precipitate a parlimiamentary contet. There remains but one hour for its consideration under the present call of committees and opponents to the bill profess th-eir ability to prevent its passage within that period. Should the bill fail to reach a final vote at this stage Mr. Hatch will doubtless appeal to the committee on rules for a special assignment. The following is a synopsis of the proceedings of both branches of con gress for the past week: MONDAY'S SESSION. 4TH DAY, January 7.-In the house addition al charges were preferred against Judge Ricks.

STATESMEN WHO ARE JOBLESS. Messrs. Bynum and Springer Secretly Seek ing for Good Places. WASHINGTON, January 14.-Very qui etly many of the statesmen out of a job in consequence of the late election are making earnest efforts to get a.plaee at the administration free-lunch after the 4th of MYarch. It is understood that Mr. Bynum of Indiana, is endeavoring to secure an appointment on the board of appraisers. The salary of 87,000 a year is tempting to him, and it is said that he will probably succeed in get, ting it. His hunt for the place, how ever, is being conducted with great se crecy, as it is probable that knowledge of his intentions would excite some an tagonism in Indiana. It will be re membered that after his defeat for con gress Mr. Bynum caused a sensation by denouncing office-seekers, and stating that he had been offered a bribe of $5,000 to assist one of the candidates to appointment to a federal office in In diana. It is said that Mr. Springer, of 1111 nois, is seeking a seat on the bench of the court of claims.
