y T- ' v- * ' -■ '■ THUHSDAY, JANrAHY 30,lS0fl, V Ko Light in tke East. In the Keichsug, or Mouse of Reprc- ■enallves of the German Ktnplre, a res olution was Introduced on February IBlh 1805 and passed, “Instructing the Government to Issue Invitations for an internatrdnal monetary conference to take measures to bring about the re habilitation of silver as a circulating medium.” The Reichstag U composed of members elected by direct vote of the people, and the resolution, there fore, expressed the will of the people. On Saturday the Bundesrath,or Fed eral Council of the German Umpire, rejected the resolution. As the -Bundesrath ts composed of members appointed for each session by their re spective governments this lejectlon ex pressed the will of the masters and not of the masses. Germany rules Kurope. The reign ing families of Prussia, Austria, Great Britain, Denmark and other smaller powers tre of German stock and Im bued with German Ideas. This rejec tion of the popular request for an In ternational conference puts an effect ual end to any expccUtlon of an early return to bimetallism by International agreement. The German decision will be quietly accepted throughout Kurope of course, but not so In America. It Will force the question ofHhefree coin age of silver, alone and single handed, to the front as the leading and over shadowing Issue of the approaching Presidential campaign. A stormy time Is ahead of the old political parties. A great many Americans believe that Uncle Ssm can keep house and carry on buslucsa independently of old world Ideas and methods and that the Monroe pootrlne should apply to matters of Inenee as Wall as of territorial pottttr, slon. They are In their last ditch, and will make the 4ght between the white and yellow metals one to the finish. At least that Is the appearance now of the polities! sky as we see f*. *7 ; v A meeting will be held In Colublam at noon on next Wednesday to reorgan ise the State Grange.

It took the Mississippi Legislature three weeks to elect % United States Senator. A primary election could have made a nomination In quicker time, at less cost and with better satls- /action to the people at large. Senator Mayfield said recently that “For the amount Invested the Citadel Isyleldlng more good returns than any other institution of learning In the State.” The People believes the Sen ator’s opinion to bo exactly and entire ly correct. Secretary of the Treasury John O. Carlisle has directed the mint superin- ttJdftntsto coin a million and a half stiver dollars a month until further or ders. If kept up for & year the circu lating medium will be increased about a quarter apiece for every man, woman and child In the United States. The British Steamship Saint Jeroinl, which sailed from Port Royal for Liv erpool recently, carried 100,000 busbcD of corn as part of her cargo.

The American citizen who shall fail to find a ticket to his exact liking at the next election for President and Vico ProsUlentwIIl be Indeed hard to please. A conference of prominent free silver advocates after a two days session In Washington has called » national convention at St. Louis on Inly 32d. The action that It may take p ill depend on the platforms adopted by the older parties. South Carolina M given a better showing there than In the Populist call, being invited to send twentydelegates. , 11 , , The Populist National Executive Committee ts-..making ready for the. Convention to be held at St. Loutii, Mo., on July 22d to nominate candidates for President and Vice-President. The ap- portlorunent of representatives in that convention gives one delegate for each Congressman and Senator, and one ad ditional for each 2,000 votes or ma jority fraction thereofeast for People’s Party candidates In elections held In 1892,1893 or 1805. Under that rule South Carolina will out a small figure in the Convention, being allowed only 17 votes, while North Carolina Is given 05, Georgia 61, Alabama 54, Texas 05, etc. Senator Tillman has secured the passage through the Senate of a bill to pay $15,000 to Newberry College for occupancy of and damage to its btlfd- Ings thirty years ago. In paying debts to his own people Uncle Sam la not as hasty as he Is In treading on the toes of tbe-BrUieh Hon. The rallroaTmsnagersTrTthis State withdrew their case from the Courts last week arid agreed to obey the re duced fertilizer rates adopted by the Railroad Commission. The State has agreed to Impose no penalties, provided the railroads will refund all excess charges on all shipments since Jan uary 1st, The safe of County Treasurer Long of Horry was opened on the night of the 13th Inst and robbed of some $2,500. The safe was opened either by some one knowing jthe combination or hav ing an artist touch In his fingers. No trace or track reported found at this writing. The loss Is a heavy one on the Treasurer or his sureties but as civ ilization goes into dark corners crime follows and flourishes. That is a pen alty of progress. In the (JeathTF"As!hby&tarke Far- tow, which occurred In Charleston on the 22d Inst., the State has lost an adopted son of great promise. He was a Virginian by birth and upon grad uation from tha law school of the Ui.l- versity, scarcely ten vears ago, became to Carolina and cast hts lot with her people. He was a delegate from Char" jeston to the Conetltutlouxl Conven- tlqp^qpd l« the labors of that body con- traeted the the disease, typhoHI fever, that ended his bright youug life. In Columbia. 'The first fortnight cf the annual session of the general assembly has now passed and the body is much fur ther advanced with Its woik than any one supposed It would be. It begins to look as If the members Intend to get through as quickly as possible and go home and that without the necessity of night sessions—The-house -ts getting along splendidly with Its calendar, and by holding sessions from 10 a. m. to 2 p! m. manages to do about all it could be expected to do In one legislative day. The members of tbe.houae do not ludulge. in long speechesim ary sub ject, at least (hey have not so far, and the change Is a most welcome one * bile at the same time it facilitates the bus/nes*. This and the new rule doing away W Ith the reading by the clerk of s whole bill when It Is called up for dual adoption, has brought about an agreeable and money saving transfor mation. Most of the speech-making (bus far has been confined to the sen ate. In the house the ‘previous ques tion” has been the certain enemy of long discussions on any subject new bills now being Introduced tertstby the member* of both houses and seems to hare been fevorebly re ceived. Generals Walker and McCradv of the United Confederate veterans and Gen. Farley are expected to appear, before the committee on this matter early next week. The discussion in the houko over the adoption of the resolution expressing sympathy for (he Cuban patriots and calling on congress to recognize them ns balrigerenti, was one of the features of the week’s session. The outlook for the coming week seems to be that both houses will have plenty of work, and will go at It with a determination to waete as little time as possible.—The State—Monday., There has been a good deal of work done during the past week. Borne of It Is of great importance, while other parts might as well have been left over for future Legislatures. The bill pro viding for a Code commissioner was passed. The bill providing for changes of venue was passed hy both houses Le# and Jackson’s birthdays were made public hoMday*. The Supreme Court bill has been almost agreed upon. Resolutions as to the Cuban struggle were passed, and the anti-lynching statute was made to conform to the new Constitution. It may be suggested that the General Assembly does not seem to be enthusi astic in Its adoption of a statute to car ry out the constitutional provisions against lynching. It seems to be a somewhat bitter pill to provide that the dbunfieTshouid have to pay out money in case* where peraons were Injured by lynchera. In both kranchea effoits were made to make the statute apply only to cases where death resulted. The Constitution, however, fixed that, and there is a good deal of curiosity expressed by members and others as to whsr will be done In the first case of lynching that happens in the Btate now that the new constitution has gone in to effect. During the present week the bouse will probably take up the registration and election laws, and as the House and Senate bills are very much alike there will hardly be much trouble iu coming to an agreement. It is practically cer tain that the outlines of the new regis tration law will be upon the basts of the present statute. Now that the Senate has declined to provide far more than one supervisor alter 1808 there will be but little use for the House to discuss it. The original registration plan of Gen. MeCrady provided for more than one registration officer and the only reason that there were not several reg istration officers in the original bill was because o£ the. cost. Tim.House end Senate election bills both have the eight box system as a base. Nothing better seems to have suggested Itself to the committees, although Mr. Man ning’s Australian ballot system has been reported and at the last examination be rood at the bead cf hie claas and wm marked highly distinguished in Latin, French, history and inuthematles.

At a recent meeting Of the Missouri Swine Breeder*' Association there was full and free discussion of the ques tion, “How to get rid of hog cholera ulckly,” led by Mr. S. Y. Thornton, of lackwater, Mo., a breeder of Duiroo Jersey Hogs. In reply to a request of The PaovnaMr. Thornton writes: It D my opinion that the most of the sick hogs will die and should be burn ed. All that appear well, remove to clean quarters, if only one hundred yards away, watch them closely and If any appear to be dull take them away from the well ones. Use Lime, Car bolic Acid or other disiatectives liber ally . about the bedding and feeding places of both sick and well. Burn all bedding where the sick boss were and in tjhls v ay I saved a good part of my hero which were all together when the ^disease broke out. Very Respectfully, S Y. Thornton, tton. There will probably be consid erable discussion on this plan and Mr. Manning will be given an opportunity to explain his bill, but that Is likely to be the last of it. There has been a good deal of Inter est In the series of Investigations that have been going on. The Penitentiary investigation to say the least Is getting Interesting, if it is not proving any thing. This investigation will be con tinued during the week, and It is likely tuat the result will be known before the end of the week. The new d...s now . m4utlon ofthe committee of the In the two houses arc tween, anu .'t looks now as If the Intro duction of new omV after Feb. 1, by committees, will noth homes have a goodly number of bills on their calendars, but the u^hMiru- tlonal prohibition against spectav- acts has had a tnarked effect and the total number of bills Is but little more than a fourth of the usual number. Nearly all the important general bills have already been Introduced and are on their way through the regular channels.. The antf-lynch law has gone through all right: the election and registration law bills have been started on their way all right: so have the bills on education and corpora tions, and most of the other leading bills, the main features of which are familiar to those who are familiar with the provisions of the new Constitution. Positively the only bill making any radical changes, not outlined by the Constitution, that has made its appear ance is that to redistrict the State into judicial circuits so as to create two new judgeships, two new solicltorshlpa and two new offices for stenographers. Till* bill has not come up for Its second r'siding, but there seems to be a good chance for Its passage. In case it Is passed, Jt Is said that Solicitor Bellin ger and Mr. Brazeale will very likely be the judges, while one of The Bollc- itorships wlM go to Mr. U. X. Gunter, now prlvaio secretary to Governor Evans. The two houaea are badly divided oo. the question of thA salaries ©f the jus tices and attaches o* the silpremo court and the bill Is ban^ln g tire on that ac count. The Jtdll wa.s pushed ahead In ortler to have the election, so that the new justice could bear some of the cases to be hoard before the present session of the court adjourns. As it Is, the committee on conference h.as failed to agree and It has been necessary to appoint a committee of free conference on the bill. This committee will hardly report for *everal days. In the mean time, no election will be ordered. It looks now as If Speaker Jones will practically complete his term as speak er of the house tnd his successor, whe n elected, will have the opportunity to preside but a few days, unless ho be re elected to the legislature this summer and i* then re-elected speaker hy the new house. The general assembly has other elections anead of it also—for members of the board of directors of the State penitentiary,"but the bill pro viding therefor has not yet even re- oeiredlts second reading: Several bills on special matters have been Introduced, but each and every one of them have met with prompt an- ulhllatlon. Mr. L. J. Williams has shown a dis position, which Is general In the house, to look into the management of the higher educational Institutions and see that no public money Is wasted on big salaries. He tried to have an investi gating committee appointed to examine into th board of trustees of Clemson, approved by the full board, has brought about several material changes in the faculty and policy of Clemson, and this has in ?t measure anticipated the purpose of the Investigating committee which UtQ look Into iue rumors as to the mlman- agemeat of theCollaga. - It Is likely that toe committee will not go to Clemson until tho middle of the week, beesuse Its members wish to be present at the expected election of Associate Justices. It is further un derstood that Senator Tillman would tike very much to appear before the committee and give bis views on a va riety of matters connected with the Institution, and that be has been com municated with as to when he can at tend, and some consideration will like ly be given to his convenience tn ap pearing before the committee, as it is said that Mrs.Tillman Is sick in Wash ington.—News aud Courier—Corre spondence.

M. L. Donaldson, of thia^Ry, n)em' her for South Carolina of the demo cratic national committee, has returned from Washington Where he attended the meeting of that committee. He told a representative of The Greenville News in answer to enquiries, that be bad been unable to gather from his fel low committeemen any information of rslueregardlng the polltTciT‘ situation In their respective States. All were re markably reticent. Regarding choice for the presidency, Mr. Donaldson says there seems to be no man In sight on whom the sentiment of the party or of any faction or sec tion of it Is centered. All he could igc stltutions of higher learning, but tha senate has ended the career of his reso lution. When the appropriation bill comas In, Interesting fights may be looked for. A matter that Is exciting much Inter est in both houses is Mr. Ralnsford’s bill to take the fund derived from the fertilizer tax from the hands of the Clemson trustees and place it all In the State treasury, having the legislature appropriate for Clemson what In its .judgment It deems sufficient. The 'de bate has been twice adjourned on the bill. _ ; \ So far the general assembly has not received Governor Evans’ promised special mes>age fieallng with the sub ject of the State dispensary. This Im portant branch of the government has not yet been touched upon by the gen eral assembly In giy way whatsoever. The body Is awaiting the message. Governor Evans’ message relating to the Conf -derate monuments and to the Conlederat: records was read with la- The Tillman Brothers. The Constitutional Convention^ gave to the people of South Carolina a con stitution good, bad or indifferent as may be determined but a constitution of their own making—much to be thankful for. But it did more. At the beginning of the session, so we are informed, the two Tillman broth ers, George and Ben, were the recog nized leaders, of, pppotlag factions. More thau-once' they measured lances, and each faced a foeman wor thy of hts s.teel. 'These tilts will long be regarded as able. Interesting, and eloquent, at times surpassing anything ever listened to In this State. When the convention opened and for a Ion time afterward, we believe, they dl not speak. But a few nights before that great body adjourned, It was Whispered about the hall that a recon ciliation had taken place and when nu merous eyes turned in the direction of the seats usually occupied by them it was noted that the brothers were in earnest conversation. The Senator with hlr hand affectionately resting upon hts brother’s shoulder and “Un cle” George regarding Ben as a father would his von.

They soon dis appeared, arm in arm - through same doorway. Brotherly love overleaped the barrier of political ferences.

But his parents and es pecially bis mother determined that he should be educated In spite of the spe cial difficulties In the way, and tholr young son wa* sent to the Institute for the Blind in Spartanburg©ounty where he made rapid progreas in bis studies. ThU last year, having finished the eouree at Spartantarg, Jolimile matric ulated at the doulh Carolina College, gxtner WiX lhaime republicans areas badly at sea for a candidate as the democrats. That was the general be lief of the members of the-committee. Committeeman Donaldson does not think the vote of the committee for the convention city was a test of sent! menton the currency question. The silver men were agreed on only one point, and that was to oppose New York. Many of them voted for St. Louis, but they did not regard them selves as bound to that city. Mr. Donaldson met President Cleve land and had a brief talk with him He says the president looks clean clear cut and healthy.
