THE MANNING TIMES. LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, June 12, 1S95. Goff's Infamy Stamped Out. The United States Court of Ap peals, composed of Chief Justice Fuller, Judges Hughes and Seymour, filed their decision in the registration cases yesterday. This Court after re viewing Judge Goff's decision at Co luimbia decided that a court of equity has no jurisdiction in matters politi cal, and they dissolved Goff's infa mous injunction. The effect of the decision is that every man must be provided with a registration certifi cate before he can vote just as the laws of South Carolina have required ever since 1882. This will knock into a cocked hat any attempt at an ap peal to the negro, and the supremacy of the white man is assured. As usual, when there is pending a mat ter of importance to the people, the Times will always be among the first to hear the result. The decision was rendered yesterday afternoon at three o'clock in Richmond, and one hour later the Times received the following special: "CoLUMBIA, S. C., June 11.-Attor ney General Barber has just received a telegram announcing that the Court of Appeals at Richmond had decided in favor of the State and dis solved Judge Goff's injunction in the registration cases." When this news reached Columbia Chappelle, Coit and other prominent n e g r o preacher-politicians com menced talking about emigrating from the State. The working committee of the "Forty" are to meet in Columbia to morrow night. Toe Ferguson, colored, of;Spartan burg county, is the father of fifty-two children and the grandfather of 118. He has been married four times. His present wife is 36 years old and is the mother of thirteen children, the youngest being six weeks old. He served four years in the war. We have before us a copy of "The Woman's Edition of the State," and it is without a doubt an excellent piece of journalism. A female orator recently said that "women have made a success in every occupation of life except painting church steeples." This edition of the State proves that South Carolina has with in her borders female journalists second to none in the United States. Senator Tillman, Governor Evans, and a number of our Congressmen are attending the silver convention in Memphis. It is expected that this convention will electrify the political world, and from it will emanate one of the greatest educational cam paigns ever had in the history of the United States. We hope these statesmen can devise some plan which will save our merchants from bank ruptcy and our farmers and laborers from starvation. A few days ago we heard a gentle man, who is a Conservative, discuss ing the Hampton letter, and he said: "I have no harsh words for Hamp ton, but I must say his letter is wrong, and if any other man had written that letter, I would not negro coalition are Conservatives, then I must renounce them and go with people who will stand by white men with or without office." General R. R. Hemphill, editor of the Abbeville Medium, is the most fortunate and to be the most envied man in the State. His paper is mag nificently edited on the local side the most important side of a news paper-and the local editor is one of the General's charming daughters. For some time we have watched the local columns of the Medium, and the ability displayed by this lady editor shows her to be one who knows a news item when she sees it, and that she must go about with a drag-net to catch all the particles of news matter. We know several lazy bachelor editors, and would advise them to go to Abbeville for a little recreation. It might turn out to be a good venture. The financial problem is a nut that is hard to .crack. The reader may scan all the literature sent out by the advocates of what is denom inated by them as "sound money," and lie becomes convinced that the country will go to the bow-wows if the sound-money policy is not adopted. Then let the same reader take up "Coin's Financial School" and the other work on finance by Harvey, and his mind turns a double somersault and he shouts for free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. Both sides of this problem have strong arguments in their favor, and it is beyond the reach of an ordinary mind to grasp the true merit of either side. We are arrayed on the silver side-not that we have mastered the question at all, but from the fact that the bankers and millionaires, who can e~imtrol the money are fighting against cheap or silver money, con vinces us that a gold standard is in the interest of a class who are rich and growing richer, and against the masses, who arevpoor and growing poorer. Another thing is that since silver was given a death-blow by the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act the producing States have been forced to dispose of their paoduct at starvation prices. Will Not Be Dictated To. Other Reform counties have fol lowed the example of Edgefield and Aiken in having their election com mittees called together to arrange for the purpose of dividing the dele gates to the Constitutional Conven tion. Aiken, the home of the Gov ernor, and Edgefield, the home of Senator Tillman, have declared for an equal division. Marion follows suit; so will Newberry, York, Green ville, Abbeville, and others. Not withstanding this disposition on the part of the Reformers, the extreme element of the Conservatives are continuing to dictate and threaten. We are anxious to see the Constitu tional Convention made up of the best and wisest men without regard to which faction they belong to, but we will not permit a few disgruntled politicians-who are burning with a desire to lead the negroes-to dictate how we shall vote. Some of the newspapers, assuming to speak for the Conservatives, have the effrontery to tell the Reformers that unless the Conservatives are al lowed to control the convention and dictate its policy no concession will be accepted and the battle will be fought out at the general election. And at the same time they have the audacity to say that they are not catering to nor appealing to the negro vote. We wonder if these men think the Reformers are a set of fools, to be frightened by their threats ; and we further wonder if they think the Re formers have any confidence in the assertion that no appeal to the negro will be made by the men who will fight the battle out in the general election ? Everybody recognizes the fact that the Reformers are largely in the white majority, and they also recognize the fact that the Re formers can, if they chose to do so, elect full delegations in thirty out of the thirty-five counties. Then, how in the name of common sense, can these men, who want to fight it out in the general election, hope for suc cess without the aid of the negro and without mongrel tickets. The threats made by the extremists will not frighten anybody, nor will it have the effect of causing the Re formers to stop doing all in their power within the bounds of reason and without a sacrifice of principle, to make - the convention as nearly non-factional as possible. The convention should be non factional for the reason that no fac tional issue is involved. Everything the Reformers want adopted in the Constitution the Conservatives want also, unless it is a few of the "used to-bes," who can not get back into power by the white vote and would, therefore, rasort to the negro or any thing for power and place again; but every man who wants a perpet ation of white man's government, a better system of public schools for white children, and the privilege of directing where his school-tax money shall be applied, is in favor of send ing good men to the convention with ut questioning the matter of fac tion. A few days ago a list of the various manufacturing enterprises and bank ing institutions established in South Carolina within the past four years was published, and we have been waiting to see what comments the daily papers Would make, but, like the little boy the calf run over, they were speechless. This list was taken from the record, where every man aan go and look at it, and it shows that more money has come into the State and been invested in perma nent enterprises within the past four years than was invested all the four teen years of Democratic rule prior to 1890, which is proof conclnei'~ that the ~"* out. and driving capital from the State. With the blood full of humors, the heated term is all the more oppressive. Give the system a thorough cleansing with Ayer's Sarsaparilla and a dose or two of Ayer's pills, and you will enjoy summer as never before in your life. Just try this for once, nd you'll not repent it. COL. A. J. HOYT, Ex-Chairman of the Democratic Party, in an Editorial on General Hampton's Letter. The recent letter of General Wade Hampton on the political situation has been read 1:y everyone interested in the topics discussed, for his public utterances of late years have been so infrequent that anything coming from him will attract un usual attention, especially at this juncture in our affairs. It is to be regretted that General Hampton broke the silence he has maintained for some time, unless he pro posed to be an active part in the coming campaign, not that his voice is not entitled to be heard in South Carohna, but because his present utterance is so inconsistent with the position he seems anxious to mantain, which is to keep aloof from any participation in local polhtics. His digni fied retirement from public life in this State and his absence from the counsels of his fellow-citizens were a standing remon strance against the treatment accorded to him by the ruling element; but when he disclaims any intention of giving advice to the people, and then straightway pro ceeds to give very definite advice to them, we respectfully submiit that General Hamup ton has made a decided mistake. As a citizen of South Carolina, he has the rights and privileges of any one else, and there are very many people who will listen with intense interest to what he says on any subject. He has served the State in peace and in wvar, and his fame as a soldier and citizen is well secured iu history. But in all his achievements on the field of eat te or in the redemption of his State from the rule of the alien and renegade, General Hampton had the support and co-operation of the men whom he now ostracises in a political sense, and to them he is largely indebted for the laurels won in peace and war. He has forgotten that the present majority of white men were his brave com rades in battle and his devoted lollow ers in '76, yet he does not hesitate to pro scribe them when he says that the minonity contains "the only true national Democrat ic representatives in the State." This is the unkindest cut of all, and many of the very mern he excludes from the Democracy will read this sentence with genuine regiret that their former leader did not remember the services rendered by them in other As to his advice that the Conservatives should not enter into the primary but to make the fight at the general election, the suggestion cannot have any great weight find a practical way by which the white people can be brought together in choosing delegates to frame the organic law of the State. This is the paramount eieution he fore us, and General Hlampton s avice if followed means a pei ptual division of tih, whites, with the ba!auce of power in the hands of negroes. It wt the unity of white men in 76 which saved tihe lay. not the scattering recruits am-ng the 1-l:el-, and this is only a repetition of tiwe tin,. in point of danger to ur civiln:.ti -rrenville .lounta:in' r.

WiAsmixavoN, Jun.: It'.-It may be that the next house of representatives will have a colored man for its chap lain. At least Representative-elect Walter Evans, of the fifth Kentucky district, is holding out that promise to the colored people who were very in strumental in his election. Mr. Evans is now working up the republicans of Kentucky for the support of the repub lican nominee for the governorship. He has among the people there a good many followers who are ministers of colored churches and while it is not known that he has promised any one of them his support, he has declined his belief that, the fifty-fourth congress being republican in politics, should recognize the colored race by having a colored man as its chaplain. It is un derstood that all of the five republi can representatives elected to the next congress from Kentucky concur with Mr. Evans in this view, and that this movement among the colored people is solidifying them in the support of the republican nominee. JIM CORBETT IS DISGRACED. The Champion Slugger's Little Wife Will Sue for a Divorce. NEw YoRK, June 7.-A. H. Hummel, of the law firm of IIowe & Hummel, when asked if there was any truth in the story that Mrs. J. J. Corbett would sue her husband for absolute divorce, declined to make any statement. Mr. Lake, the -ather of Mrs. Corbett, said: The case is in the hands of Howe and Hum mel. My daughter is very ill. inuiced and very much worried. She visited her counsel. Htowe and Hummel. about the matter. I cannot say if the suit has been commenced. If not. it will be. Jim is quite crazy, that is quite certain. He has not deen himself for sore time. This woman who will be named as the correspond ent in the action has got such complete mas tery over him that be does not know what he is doing. He brought her to this city only a short time ago and they stayed together in some hotel for three weeks. I don't know the woman's name but my daughter says she be longs in Chicago. Mrs. Corbett has refused to give me any particulars about the cas, as she says she does not wish to pain inc. TO BEGIN SERVING SENTENCE. Eugene Debs and Associates Return to the Woodstock Jail.

The call, which was signed by "The Committee," is said to have had its ori gin with some of the leaders of the trade union movement.

I had a good pjiysician but he did not do me any good. A friend recom , E mended Hood's Sarsaparilla and I sent for a bot tIe. At that time I ached in every limb, especially in my back and hip.

ATTORNEY BARBER OPENS FOR STATE The Trend of His Remarks Was That the Federal Court Had no Jurisdiction In the Premises-Mr. Douglass Appears for Petitioners. RIcnMOD. Va., June 8.-Argument in the South Carolina registration case was begun in the United States uircuit court of appeals yesterday before Chief Justice Fuller, Judges Hughes and Seymour. Attorney General Barber opened -or the state of South Carolina. The trend of his opening remarks was that Ihe federal courts had no jurisdiction in the premises. He said it was set forth by Judge Goff that the petitioner was a colored man, and therefore the refusal of the laws of South Carolina to permit him to vote was in violation of the fif teenth amendment of the constitution. Mr. Barber called the attention of the court to the fact that nowhere: in the record did this fact-that the peti tioner was eclored-appear, though it was commented upon by attorneys in the lower court, and very prominently brought to the attention of Judge Gof when he granted the injunction. The attorney general stated that In stead of providing for a discrimination against any voter, the law set forth that any male citizen. regardless of race, color or condition, who had resid ed in the state for one year, was enti ted to vote. It was not the law. he said, that caused Judge Goff to h.ola that voters were being denied their privileges, but it was the abuse of the law by people ostensibly working un der it. He contended that the law should not be held responsible for dere lictions of election officers. Mr. Douglas made the opening speech for the petitioner. Hie prefaced his ar gument with the statement that though he and his associate, Mr. O'Bear, ap peared in opposition to the cause of the, states, they were in no sense against the state (except that they were en ~cL.se a voter, and thereby im peril the federal elections, he contend ed that a federal court in question had jurisdiction. The law, he said, was in violation of section 1. article 14, of the constitution of the United States. Mr. Douglas, continuing, directly attacked the law aud argued that it was enacted simply for the purpose of disfranohis ig the negro vote. Mr. Douglas was followed by Mr. O'Bear, his associate, whose argument was largely of a legal nature. He held that the court had jurisdictio~n to hear and act in the case. and then occupied sonic time in the citation of various authorities and eases bearing upon the matter at issue. Gen. Edward McCreary made the elosing speech for the state. Hie began his argument by makcing a careful. ex planation of the registration lawvs. and showing that the circumstances whi ich existed when they were enacted justi fed their passage. lie compared them to various other registration laws and argued that they were not more un just or discrimating than the laws of other states, which at various times; had been declared constitutional, and thus, though the laws had been in existe:2ce since 1876, their constitutionality had never been questioned till 1895. He said if they had been as unjvst as they are charged to be, they would not have been allowed to have remained so long unquestioned. Ue claimed that the whole case was a political one. and that Mills was only a figure heaa., and the speaker did not know so far as the record went, whether Mills was white or colored. General McCreary closed his very brief argument by saying he thought the court was in full posses sion of all the facts and that it would be unnecessary for him to ask th:e at tention of the court further. The chief justice was asked if it were allowable to submit briefs but none were forthcoming. Three days were given each side in which to hand the ases to substantiate their petitions. They court adjourned till Monday at 10 ' clock. _________ LIMPSE OF PEACE AND UNITY. rho olitical Outlook at Present In the Palmetto State. COLUBIA, S. C., June 11.--The out Look seems to be decidedly favorable for peace in the state. County by coun ty in the state is falling into line, and ither deciding to elect. non-factional :elegates to the convention, or doing what is better and far more assuring, passing resolutions, through the execu tive committee, pledging a division ol' the delegates to the constitutional con ention. This seems to be the safer tnd more practical plan, for at the out let it brings about more confldence in the action of the committee and unites the white voters in a common interest.
