' e Gen. Wallace, S. C. A., of Union ' a county, the Democratic Speaker, and j E. W. Mackey, of Charleston, the Radical Speaker, sat side by side, n each presiding over his own House e i and ignoring the other. United si States soldiers guarded the doors. f< Their orders were not to exclude w the Democrats, but if they went out ti not to allow them to return. The ti sessions continued through all those c hours of daylight and darkness, l< every man armed and ready with a this nerves strung for the desperate n fignt all believed to be inevitable? f, i a fight of men shut in, forced to p light until one side or the other b was terminated or somebody sur- o rendered. Under each folded overcoat was a Winchester rifle, in v some pocket of every man's clothes ti ! a loaded revolver. c Four reporters sat at the head t of a table at the end of the aisle, a They knew that right behind c Speaker Mackey to his right two o white men, chosen and approved h i killers, were stationed, instructed s to shoot him dead at the first out- \ I uicuH. muchey Knew n, loo, nut g he was clear game, that Mackey, y Radical as he was; and he never a moved or flinched or in any way v j departed from the rftrict formalities of his assumed office and now and f, 'then his laugh pealed through the y ' house as something funny occurred. | But the reporters knew that the p j moment trouble began a storm of r | bullets would come Mac key's way, p | because Mackey, as a white South p | Carolinian, of the entire outfit, was c most hated of South Carolinians, p | and the first thought of every man ? was to get "Mackey first." And \ , many men in the fexcitment would c j SI>OOt low. t A Shot For Miller. t Also many of the Radicals, es- t j pecially among the "Forty Thieves." s II | deadliest and bitterest and most z || j courageous of all, had it in for the v |< reporters' table. Therefore the re- f 11 porters consulted aruong themBelve. 1 II its they smoked, who they would e W "get" before they were got. One of ^ * them had a pistol the like of which ) ! never wi . seen before or since that * i time, when the ingenuity and most n + of the thought of men were bent on V devices for killing somebody. It * W* was a sectioa cl a Remington rifle, ^ sawed off and fitted to a pistol +% stock, carrying a ball assigned especially to "Canary" Miller; it was ? placed in a drawer of a desk and ^ | trained on him, pressed into the botV torn of the drawer during the entire M, ?f the night, and kept cocked, the ^ calculation being that when the fnss I was opened the drawer would be J 1 ulled out, trigger cocked and "Ca- ? nary" dropped as he rose in his V place on the right-hand side toward ?*? ; the rear. If two or three men hap??? I pened to be in the way it would be ^4 all the better. The cartridge was igood for an elephant and all of our J j fellows were clear. All this was V i because "Canary" rose every fifteen minutes and conducted this colloquy. 4 "Mr. Speaker!" 1 The Speaker: The gentleman from Beaufort." X 1 "Mr. Speaker, 1 rise to a point of ^ I order." 0 V "The gentlemen from Beaufort a will state his point of order." A I "Persons are on the floor of the a ^ 1 House who are not members of the 8 X House.'* "The point of order of the gentle- j V man from Beaufort is well taken. tl y The sergeant-at-arms will proceed to 8 remove from the floor all members ^ who are not members." ^ X A Strenuous Time. This was where the trouble was c , epected to occur. Orders were that j when the Radical sergeant-at-arma v put tyis hands on a Democrat or aliied members the shooting would X i start. Every time he was ordered, the fool sergeant-at-arms would walk up the aisle toward somebody and nobody knew when, with an ex+% tra drink or two, or on some signal, . he actually would touch a man. It X was trying on the nerves.

And "Canary" Miller, lderly, peaceful and fat, looms up gain after all these years. Mad Days and Merry Nights. Mad and bad days and merry ights these times, with a thrill for very hour and a danger for every tep. Newspaper men did not look or news. They could crowd the rires with it until tthe wires could like no more. This was before elephones, or typewriters or street are. Men depended on their own ?gs and hands and eyes and cars nd brain, and nobody thought of luch food or sleep, or cared much or anything, because nobody exacted to live until spring or that y spring there would be any State f Government. And all the bright and gay men ,-ho chronicled that time from day o hay, who lived luxuriantly beause with peril and excitement heir nerves were strung happily nd tense always, who joined in horus and laughter to the rising f many wintry suns or new days of ard work and emergency, there is, o far as we know, but one left. Vhen the drama was over they cattered to many parts of the world whence they came, and 1 think they re all dead now hut one? and they rt-re young men, 100. Here is thanks to "Canary" Miller or recalling a time thirty-four ears back, well worth living in. (This article from the pen of Edtor Williams, who was one of the eporters referred to, recalls the art taken by the late Capt. Robert togers, of Gaddy's Mill, in the proeedings of the famous Wallace louse. Capt. Rogers was a repreentative from Marion county. Vhile the tension was at its highest ten. Wallace had occasion to vacate he chair. Reckoning Capt. Rogers o his side he said: "I am forced o vacate the chair for an hour or o. Take it and hold it at all hazards." Gen. Wallace had fought vith Capt. Rogers on the battleields of Virginia and knew his man t is needless to say that Capt. Rogrs held the chair.?Ed. Herald.) wir-K-jr-Tr-wK-*****************-!
