Douglass (Rep) inter with the statement that the tary should lay the list before House and should not preside, ie said that, for one, he would not toaent for Osborne to preside, and iher members agreed with him. Mr Dunsmore, the Populist caadi Plate tor Speaker, said that there was |JMD precedent to be found in the State i$0 settle the questions that will be Isbaresented in thisorgaaizatioO. Some IPody, *he ?aid, must pass on these questions. Duusmore declared that, Bbrthe' purp?>se of completing the roll pi the House, Mr Osborne was the chairman. '?Gentlemen," said Osborne, "I am only here to act in a ministerial ca pacity. When this house informs me that it has a presiding officer to re ceive this roll, I will deliver it." With that, Osborne abruptly left the de*k and <iisapp?-ared from the i hall. Mr 6emper, of Franklin county, ! j (Pop.) walked to the desk and I assumed the gavel, and Mr Cubbison | (Rep.) quickly joined him aud both l began beating the- gavel. The House was in confusion, but the Republicans j | nominated officers, who were declared elected bv Cubbison. Theu somebody moved that the House proceed to call the roll. The certified roll was missing, having been carried- away by Osborne, but a roll 0iA soiy^lTm?T>was found, and Mr Rem ington; the Republican secretary, held it up, sjiyiug that he he had the roll as certified by the Secretary of State. Mi* Cubbison ordered Mr Reming ton to call the roll. * Shouts of objections were made, but Remington proceeded. The Demo crats responded as their names were called, - while the P 'pulists" kept up a roar of protest- Meanwhile Cubbison cal lad for members to come forward and be sworn. The Republicans held ud their hands, and a Topeka lawyer named Bain, administered the oath. Then the Republican clers called the roll again, and Douglass was de clared elected Speaker. Judge Strong swore Douglas in, and he assumed the chair. By this time the Populists had pro gressed s?> far in the organization as to elect Densmore Speaker, and he soon had a full set of officers. Secretary Brown of the Senate now j appeared aud recognizing Speaker : Densmore, anuounced that the Senate ! had organized. As s*x>n as Brown had finished read- j ing, Speaker s ouglass quickly said; ! A message to me from the Senate say i that the Sebate is now organized." i Everyfcxxly laughed. It was now the Populists turn to i adopt the rules of the last House, aud ! having done this the Populist, clerk called the roll. Through all the excitement Dens more and Douglas? stood side by side beating their gavels upon the samer block and good naturedly crowding each each other, the three Democrats quietly watching the row and taking no part in the proceedings. The Popnlists had been provided with a lar^r quantity of bologna sausage, and made tJheni ioto sandwiches, and these were served in lieu of supper. They announced that thev are in the hall to stay, and are confident they will root the Republicans and finally capture the organization. The Popnlists at S 40 o clock paused in the proceedings to eat lunch, which was served to thera in their 9eats. They ate voraciously, while the hungry Republicans -looked on and laughed. At this hour (Tp. in.) the situation is unique and interesting- Both sides are camping on the iield of battle, and both say they will stay unti) theothers tire out.

PRECAUTION AGAINST PLAGUE. Tbe National ^narantin* Bill Passed by the Senate. Washington, Jan. 10. ? The quar antine bill, which was passed by the Senate to-day, makes it unlawful for any merchant ship or other vessel from any foreign port or place to enter any port of the United States, except in accordance * ith its pro visions, and with luch rules and regulations of the State and municipal health authorities as may be made in pursuance of, or consistent with it, under a penalty not exceeding 85,000. Any vessel at any foreign port clearing for any port or place in the United States shall be required to obtain from the United States con sular officer at the port of departure, or from the medical officer where such officer has been detailed by the Presi dent for that purpose, bill of health, in duplicate, in the form prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, set ting forth the sanitary history and condition of said vessel, and that it has in all respects complied with the rules prescribed for securing the best sanitary condition of said vessel. The Marine Hospital Service is to co-operate with and aid State and municipal boards of health in the ex ecution and enforcement of the rules and regulations made by the Secreta ry of the Treasury to prevent the introduction of contagious or infec tious diseases. The sixth and seventh sections of tbe bill are as follows: "Sec. 6. That on the arrival of an Infected vessel at any port not pro vided with proper facilities for treat ment of same, the Secretary of the Treasury may remand said vessel, at its own expense, to the nearest national or other quarantine station where accomo dations and appliances are provided for the necessary disinfection and treatment of vessel, passengers and cargo; and after such treatment, and and after a certificate by the United States quarantine officer that vessel, cargo and passengers are each and all free from infectious disease, or danger of conveying same, said vessel shall be admitted to enter any port of the United States named in the certificate. But at any ports where sufficient quarantine provision has been made by State or local authorities, the Sec retarv of the Treasury may direct vessels bound for said ports to under go quarantine at said State or local station. "Sec. 7. That whenever it shall be shown, to the satisfaction cf the Presi dent that by reason of the existence of cholera, or other infectious or contagi- j ous diseases, in a foreigu country, there ; is serious danger of the introduction of the same into the United States, and that notwithstanding quarantine defense this danger is so increased by the introduction of persons or property from such country that suspes&ion of j right to introduce the same is ? de manded in the interest of the public health, the President shall have power to prohibit, in whole or in part, the introduction of persons and property from such countries or places as he shall designate and for such period of time as he may deem necessary." An appropriation of S 1,000,000 is made to enable the President to carry the act into effect. Compensation is to be made for quarantine buildings and property received from States or I municipalities. The act of March 3, j 1887, establishing the National Board of Health, is repealed. ? The State. KANSAS POLITICS. The Populists and Republicans Fail to Ajpree on a Plan of Organization. Topeka, Kansas, Jan. 7. ? It is ! said in Populist circles that the reason ! they refused last night to accept the ! plan of joint conference composed of J Populists and Republicans for a peaceful organization of the House is that it blocks their scheme of organi- j zation. This, it has leaked out, is to : exclude from the floor of the House ! every member on either side whose seat is contested. The populists have | eighteen contests in the House, Repub i 1 icans seven. To exclude these from the floor j would give the Populists a majority of i five over both Republicans and Dem ; ocrats, and thus the Populists would ! organize the House and shut out the i contested members until they had passed upon their cases. Of course ; the Republicans will not submit to a scheme of this kind, as it would be a practical surrender to the organization, i The Populists, however, are said to be , stubborn oo the point, and they cite as a preceedent similar action by the j Republicans jjf the Legislature of | Indiana in 18^6. Unless there be a compromise there is certain to be a i row, which will result in a split, the ! house on one s&e or the other, going j to the other part of the State House i and setting up business for itself. Such a condition of affairs has long been feared and as the hour of battle draws near and the excitement in ! creases there seems to be srood ground j for it i ^ _ ? Terrible Trip 1?

I CAST FOR CLEVELAND AND STEV- i ENSON, An?l Will be Carried to Washington by a ' Georgia Man? T. Larry Gantt Chosen Messenger Columbia, Jan. 9. ? The Demo- i cratic electors selected at the recent ! election met here to-day, cast their ballots for Cleveland and Stevenson, j and chose T. Larry Gantt, editor of I ; the Register, to convey the vote to i Washington. These are, indeed, strange times in South Carolina, and once again fac | tional prejudice has overruled judg ! ment The proceedings of. the Elec | toral College of South Carolina, as well as the body itself, will go down i into history. Six months ago there ; was common talk that if the electoral ! vote were close it would not be safe to : say that South Carolina's entire vote : would be cast for the Democratic standard-bearers. The unusual pro ceeding of securing written pledges from the electors was gone through with, and every kind of precautionary j measure was resorted to, but all to no j purpose. The electoral vote of the Palmetto State could not in any way assume an important part in deciding the fate of any political party. Public attention was withdrawn from the electors. They quietly came here and cast their secret ballots for Cleveland and Stevenson, and, after selecting the notorious campaign editor as mes senger, went home. The electors met under the com mission of the Secretary of State, which showed the vote in the State to have been: Cleveland electors, 54,6^2; Harrison electors, 13,345; Weaver electors, 2,407. The candidates on the Democratic ticket were: Delegates at large, Ernest Gary, J. Wm Stokes. District delegates, (J. C. Tracy, T. S. Williams, I. H. McCalla, J. Steele Brice, L. P." Walker, L. W. Nettles j and Jos S. Hart. i As soon as the College was organized i the members prepared their ballots and the unanimous vote was cast for Cleveland and Stevenson. Then came the selection of a mes senger to Washington, a $200 plum. The reasonable question of the in eligibility of T. L. Gantt, who was put in nomination, was immediately raised. J. M. Waddell, of Marion, j was the only other regular candidate. | It was finally decided to appoiut a special committee to report on the eligibility of Candidate Gantt. The j committee consisted of Judge-elect ! Gary, C. C. Tracy and Joseph S. Hart. To the utter surprise of the i electors the majority of the committee | (Tracy and Hart) reported that Mr i Gantt was ineligible to till the position. Mr Gary made a minority report and j that was accepted. The balloting then followed. The j vote was: For Gantt: Gary, McCalla, j Walker and Hart. For VVaddell: Stokes and Nettles. Brice and Tracy paired as a compliment to each other. Realizing the importance of the election as a precedent in this State, I asked Mr Gary to prepare a synopsis : of the grounds for his report, and Mr j Tracy a synopsis of the majority re- : port. A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT. Here is Mr Gary's synopsis: "My reasons for the minority report are as follows: The Act of Congress ; regulating elections for President and I Vice President does not specify how the vote of the Electoral College shall be transmitted to Washington. The i only authority, therefore, by which the | college is governed is contained in the ! Act of the General Assembly of South ! Carolina of 1889, Section 157, which j reads as follows: "Such electors shall then, by writing under their bonds, or under the bonds of a majority of them, appoint a per son to take charge of the lists so sealed up, and to deliver the same to the President of the Senate of the Congress : of the United States, at the seat of government, before the second Wednes day in February then next ensuing/' "From my construction of the Act the only qualification is that the messen ger must be a person and not neces sarily a qualified elector." THIS IS GOOD LAW. The majority of the committee sup ported their position on the following grounds: Mr Tnfccy said that under a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, reported jn 6 Wallace, an office was defined to be any position filled by governmental appointment and combining tenure, duration, emolument and duty. All these are combined in the messenger, the tenure though short j being defined, his duty being clear, a j punishment provided for non or | misfeasance and the emoluments : provided by statute: that the messenger was a State officer, his creators being State officers, as decided in Green vs Fitzgerald. 10 Sup Ct Rep. and that Section -4, of Article XIV of the j Constitution of South Carolina j prohibited one not possessing the qualifications of a voter from being an office-holder. Elector Brice signed the dertificat6 of the result of the election, but re* fused to sign Messenger Gantt's com" mission, except on the condition that i The Kevs and Courier s "Letter of Introduction"' . be appended as "Ex i hibit A." A WORD IN TIME. Doubtless some very (?) wise s$?es will perhaps try and attribute 5lr 1 Gantt's election to the position taken HURRAH FOR BRICE. by The News and Courier . As a matter of fact Gantt was practically elected long before The News and Courier thought of his selection. ".Gol" Gantt was an early bird, secured" pledges for a place no one seemed to care for, and to day those pledges were carried out. That is all there is in the election. It is curious to note that while Elector Hart held that Mr Gantt was ineligible, yet he voted for him. He explains his course by saying that af ter the electors decided thkt Mr Gantt was eligible he could have w no further objections to him. Fortunately the qualification of Mr Gantt makes no difference. A duplicate of the vote will be forwarded by mail, and authority is given, to send another if neceasrry. ? Columbia Cor.

C., to the Pod says: "Calvin Snipes, the murderer, smiled when he learned through your correspondent, the first outsider to reach the isolated Bakersville, how much excitement his alleged lynching had created all over this country and Europe. Nothing whatever had been heard in Bakersville of the reported trouble untff your correspondent rode thirty-five miles through the wildest mountain country to find out the true state of affairs. v The region is almost impenetrable from the railroad station on account ot two weeks of the severest winter weather known here in years. The mountain roads are full of drifted SD0W and much of the newspaper man's trip was in the night time through a fierce blizzard. The snow fell so thick as absolutely to blind a person, and the rider had really to rely on the instinct of the horse to keep from los ing himself Toe River up in the mountain was frozen over strong enough to bear up a fonr-horse team, and hauling was being done over it The thermometer was at zero. The citizens of Bakersvilte^ and Mitchell county are highly indignant at the lying report sent out by the man who started the story, and could they get their hands on him it would probably go hard with him. The sec tion has never been more quiet than during the past week, when the trouble i? said to have taken place. | Snipes will stand his trial in May and J some think that he may be acquitted of the crime charged against him. Osborne, who was killed in August, is said not to have enough friends to get up a lynching party. Tom and Will Whitsou, the two other prisoners who ? were said to have been lynched at the same time with Snipes, are ^not in Bakersville jail at all. They are in jail here at Asheville instead, and are to be bi&iDged on February 25 for the j murder* of Kit Burg, in Mitchell couDty. Grain and Provlnion Circular. Chicago, Ills, January 7? By Crawley & Cos private wire: The first week of the new year has brought j with it increased activity in all the speculative markets, and a liberal movement of all cash and spot delivery product. The feature of the week was ] an advance of about $2 50 per barrel | in mess porkr-^yl'y J of a cent per j pound in lard, and 1 cent per pound i in May ribs. The packing in Chi- ! cago has been only about half, or one million less than a year ago. Some of the large speculators aod packers who have held ou to their investments until the last day or two have become very liberal sellers and probably with their sales to-day they have closed out a greater portion of their holdings. There is another class of speculators, I among whom are some large packers, i who are now talking very bullish and whose purchases are very heavy. So j long as the receipts of hog9 continue j so light they may succeed in causing j some radical changes in the market, but we question their ability to 6ecure very large profits on product bought j around present prices. The wheat trade remains the same as about one week ago. Parties who are supposed to be long have ap parently increased their holdings. | Foreign markets have advanced dur- ; ing the week from f of a cent to cents per bushel and . the general de mand, both domestic and foreign, continue good and everything promises a liberal trade for cash sample lote and in the speculative futures. 'Parties who believe in lower prices look at [the large visible supply now over ^t), 00, 000 bushels and then look at the largest decrease we have had in j ! former years from the preseut until . of 1st of July and are puzzled to know what is going to became of the wheaL Twenty-two million decrease heretofore in the visible is one of the largest Now thev say we may have forty-two 1 million decrease, and still have a large visible supply. Thomas Bennett's St Louis correspondents report that the stocks of grain are so large along the lin^s of the Western railroads that iu : numerous places they refuse to receive j more, owing to the lack of storage, j Corn has been somewhat firmer and j in better demand, and closed higher I than a week ago.

Comptrol ler General Ellerbe was busy to-day preparing the circular instruction! to county auditors by which he proposes to carry out the ideas he attempted to put into execution last year. . The Courts objected to his ideas of raising tax returns, land1 he now thinks that ["he has all of the necessary authority by which to raise the returns to con form to his original plan. The work of preparing the circular was finished by gas light The all important instructions read as follows: Executive Departmekt, Office of Comptroller General !? Columbia, 8. C.,7th January, 1893. ) Mr ? , Auditor : Your attention is hereby directed to the following Act: "To ameqd and declare the law in reference to the duties and powers of | county auditors in reference to the assessment of property for taxation, wfcwr-a false, fraudulent or other im proper return has been made." After the enacting words this law provides: ' That from and after the passage of this Act the assessment oi property for taxation shall be deemed and held to be a step in the collection of taxes. Section 2. That Sections 239, 240, 241, 242, 243 and 244 of Chapter XI of the General Statues, relating to the a&^ssment and taxation of property, be, and the same are hereby, declared to be in full force and effect, and shall be construed to mean as giving full and complete power to the county auditors independent of any rights conferred upon county boards of asses sors or other officers as to securing a full and complete return of property for taxation in*all cases as expressed in said section^ whether fraudulently or otherwise improperly or incom pletely made. Section 3. That the action of the county auditor set forth in the 2d sectioo of this Act shall not be inter fered with by any Court of this State by mandamus, summary process, or any other proceeding; but the tax payer shall have the right, and no other, to pay his tax on such retnrn under protest as now provided by law. Section 4. That, etc. Approved by , December 25, 1892. There can be no doubts under this aw as to the duties and powers of county auditors, and they will be ex pected to observe carefully the sections of the General Statutes construed by this Act and will be held to a strict performance of their duties as required by these sections thus construed under the instructions heretofore given by this office in circular form. Much of the success or failure to ascertain the whereabouts and value of all taxable property and have it placed upon the tax books is due to the inefficient order and inefficient i management of the auditors of the j respective counties. All taxpayers required by law to return all their taxable personal pro- ! perty between the 1st of January and the 20th day of February, 189.3, .for I taxation. Heal estate is not returned this year. All personal property not returned, falsely returned, partially returned, or returned at less than its true value in money, is liable to a penalty of 50 per cent. It is the duty of the*a^ditor while takiog returns to make su<k inquiries j and investigations as he may deem necessary to secure a full return of all taxable property at is true value, and any auditor accepting a return from any taxpayer when he suspects or has j reason to believe that such return is | not correct or full is derelict in his official duties. Millions of dollars of taxable pro perty annually escape taxation in this State, such as cash, mortgages and other credits, which snould be care fully looked after and placed upon your tax duplicates and made to bear their just portion of taxation. Auditors are urged to the exercise of proper diligence in this matter of taking returns; and if the law is wise ly, judiciously and firmly enforced much of the evils now suffered will be remedied and the taxable propertv greatly increased by getting upon the ; tax books every class of taxable pro ! perty. Care should be taken in making the j valuations made by the taxpayers of personal propertv as nearly uniform throughout the putfnty as possible. | In the selection of assessors great j care should be exercised, and the best, ? most impartial intelligent men I should be taken.

A sen sational interview tool place in the j lobby of one of the hotels this evening | between Jerry Simpsofc, Congressman from the 7th district, teho wants to be Senator, and A. J. Streater, the Third Party leader from Illinois, who does j not want him to be. At the Session of the Legislature at which Senator Palmer was elected and in which the J Third Party members held the balance of votes, Streater was a formidable can didate for Senator. Jerry Simpson, although a fellow Third Party man, took sides against Streater and in i fkvor of Palmer.0" He not only wrote letters to the Third Party members advising them to vote for Palmer, but even went to Springfield and labored industriously against Streater. The latter naturally treasured up this action against the Kansas statesman, and now that Simpson is a candidate for 8enator before the Third Party Legislature of Kansas, he has come to Tojeka to labor against^ Simpson's chances. He arrived this afternoon and at once made bis object known. The news reached Jerry Simpson after supper, and he immediately set j out to call Streater down. He located the gentleman from Illinois at bis hotel, and a lively spat ensued. Simpson asked Streater if it were true that he had come to Topeka to work agains^ his (Simpson's) election to the Senate, Streater admitted frankly that sifch was the object of?; his visit. Simpson asked why he was taking such action. Streater explained. Simpson said that it was untrue that he advised Third Party men to vote for Palmer, and defied Streater to prove it Streater drew from his pocket a telegram signed "Jerry Simpson," stating that, in his opinion, the election of Palmer would best subserve the interests of the Third Party. Simpson declared that the telegram was a forgery, whereupon Streater declared that the statement was not true, and that Simpson knew it Simpson grew white with rage and s" personal encounter between the two men seemed imminent when pre vented by friends. Streater is not' working for any particular candidate, but announces that the election of some of the Popu lists will best subserve the interests of the Third Party. Simpson, he says, is a Democrat WE SHOULD FOLLOW THE ADIVCE. The Farmers Ad\l?ed to Reduce the Acreage Planted in Cotton. Memphis, Tenn., January 7. ? B. G. West, secretary of the cotton bureau of the National Farmers' Alli ance, has issued an address to the Order, advising a reduction of acreage of cotton planting. He says that the Southern States produce 55 per cent, of the cotton grown and 82 . per cent, of the staple available for use in this country. He holds that cotton mill? in the South are desirable, but unat tainable, this not being a manufac i turing country. The salvation of the j Southern farmer is a diversification of j cro^ and living at home instead of ! depending upon the pork packers' of ! the North for food. He points out in support of this j argument that the reduction of the ! crop this season resulted in a marked ; increase in the price and insists that cottou planters can .secure fair prices every season by keeping the produc- i tion within reasonable bounds. P> lmary Teach Ins It is in the experience of every teacher, that to embrace a truth one's ' sell and to !>e able to present it un- j der the simplest form to another, are essentially different things. It i3 j necessary that teaching as an art should be made the subject of study. Mere practice of this art (ffces not give proficiency. It has principles and rules which must be the subjects of rational investigation. There must be the habitual study of the best methods, and of the principles on which they are based. The work of the primary teacher is one of noordinary difficulty. The children who come to him have never been taught to think, v have no knowledge which may form the subject of thought, and are without the means of acquiring that knowledge. He has to act on untiUored minds, to give them the arts of learning, to teach them to think and understand, and to store their minds with material f<> r s thought. This i- impossible to those who are not acquainted with teaching as science as well as practiced in it as an art ? Selected. v Tb e Electoral Vote.

The free t silver men believe that? they;' are strong enough to prevent such a j thing. After the Senat^ finance committee had completed the work relttifgMto the.

The membefv present were: Mcpherson, flams and Vance of the Democrats, and Sher man, Morrill and Allison of the Re publicans. A regular meeting of the. committee will be called for a $?r\ later in the week, when the Mo- ! Pherson resolutions will bei called up ; for serious consideration. It developed that there was no per fect unanimity among the Revtiblicanf regarding the stragetic movpof ytstaq^ uay on the part of Mr Judricb. Sherman, who is older in poiqt of service than Aldrich $ a member of j the finance committee, fit is understood was'opposed to such ajrgiessive action I on the part of youngef members, and M the rather sensationai move did not meet with his most hearty approval* ! Mr Sherman is, however, in fkvor of the repeal of the law which bears hit name, and has so expressed himself on the floor of the Senate. His col- i ; league, Mr Morrill, chairman of tbe_^ finance committee, is also in earnest in supporting any proposition that j will tend to remove the danger of free | coinage, and will also favor the repeal, while the standing of Mr Allison on the money question is too well known to need explanation. Party lines have been obliterated in the discussion of this matter, and the talk indulged in by Senators who were at this meeting showed that the proposition was being considered upon the broad basis of statesmanship, rather than the narrow plane of party policy or political expediency. It was . freely asserted in the committee room that the Sherman act was what the Democratic party in its platformjg called it, a makeshift; b jt the Heparan licans pointed to the fact that such a ; measure or something akin to it vil ! i absolutely nccesaary to prevent the passage of free coinage legislation at the time the Sherman aet was ' passed ? or, at least, to prevent legis lation that would have been far mow pernicious in its effect upon the coun try than that which became a part of ? t the law of the land. Mr Teller's declaration that this Congress would never pass the bill, and that it coul4 not by any possibil ity work its way through the Senate, - ! is construed by the friends of the i measure to be a threat on the part at the Teller that be will hamper tbe: measure and uae all of hig powers to ' consume the remaining forty days of this seseioh in opposing the consumer* ti?>n of the bill, and to /esort, if need' be, to filibustering. / SThe PoitvnlWlDi to Sfrwul.
