THE ELECTORAL T0T?.
Tlie plan presTtcd to the Senate and
she Hou aJ of Representatives for settling
questions concerning the validity of
the Electoral certificates and the count of
Totes for President aud Vice-Presidect of
the United States, >s embraced in a bill.
It Provides that *vc joint assembly
thali in.~?t in tho hail of the house on
February 1; the opening votes hy the
president of tbo cenate shtll he purely
fcbisterial; he ahail simply open the
paokage containing the returns oflelectoie!
votes, deliver then to tellers appointed
by tbo two houses, and announce
the result as reported to h'm by them.
Ia ease an objection is made to coun*
ting the vote of any state from which
a single retrra has been received, the
houaes sh?l! separate and discuss the mat"
ter for a reasonable time, when a vote
hall be taken in each. If both houses
oncer in the opinion thit the vote ought
^ to be rejected, then it shall be.rejected;
ctberwise it shall be counted.
In all eases where two seis ef returns
havet^en received and the two houses
do sot agree to accept one of them, all
questions connected Titn them are to be
ftferrcd to a commission enstituted as
follows: Five members are to be appointed
by the senate and five by the
house of representatives: and five judges
f the supreme oourt, tour of whom are
indicated in the bill and the fifth is to be
elected by t*?e four in any manner they
deem best
A majority of this commission shall decide
whether any and what votes from
raeh states are the votes provided for by
the eopsUtution of the United States,
and how many and what persons were
duly appointed.electors from such state;
the decision of the commission shall be
reported to the joint assembly and the
easting shall proceed in conformity
therewith, unless five senators and five
representatives in writing object, when
the two houses shall separate and if both
agree to reject said decision it shall be rejected,
but otherwise it stands final.
Rebate in *he two houses upon each
objection is limited to two hours.
It will be seen that the claim of the
house to reject a vote is abandoned along
with the claim of the vice-president to
vet judicially. The suggestion that the
houses might talk against time and then
defeat any declaration is also settled.
Another important change is the advance
of the time of the meeting of the
joint assembly. It tins Dili passes the
count will begin & week from to-day
February 1, instead of February 14.
In the present unsettled condition of
eounty offices the office of'the County
Commissioners is in working order and
their legality undisputed, and as the interests
of our citizens can be served ly
this board to a greater degree of good or
evil than by any other" it'will receive
our special attention. We shall
indulge ir?no captious criticisms of the
doings of officials but shall insist that the
burden of taxation 3hall not be heedlessly
increased without interposing a word
in deprecation. It must certainly be apparentjtbat
without regard to the lines of
party, the voice of the people i3 with those
who advocate an honest and economical
^ administration of public trust. We have
always held and do still hold to the
opinion that the ordinary *hrce mill
County tax does not yield a sufficient re*
venue to make it possible to discharge the
indebtedness incurred in any one year
where^evervthiDg is yielded to road overseers,
constables bridge, builders and therest
of the class of greedy cormorants
who arc to be found around the Court
House on the days when the County
Commissioners are in session.
In the year after the close of the war
and prior to 1863 reads were worked and
bridges repaired under a Beard who
performed their duties without compensation
and who saw that the work was
properly done by citixens who also
worked without pay. iSvery one familiar
with the present system knows that
the work is but illy done and that the
Couoty pay9 large sruus each year with
out proper return for it. One of the first
things then to be improved is the caring
for highways and bridges and the doing
tway with expensive and otherwise u eless
Ivoad over3tere, by substituting either
the personal inspection ot a County C<>mEiiseicscr
or that of some citizen who
feels the need of a good read in his own
neighborhood.

PETER PAPISTS PROJECT.
If there is anything that tends to
draw the attention of men of means t<>
the J'.ifant City it is the constant and un
limited projects which are undertaken
by that busy body Mr. Peter Papin, who
?k ever v\ the track of some new enterprise
that gives proaise of putting countless
millions in the pockets of anybody that
has a little "pare capita! to invest
The latest scheme was sprung suddeu.
ly on the Port Royal Railroad Company
by the exhibition by Papin of a warrant
signed by Governor Chamberlain and
Secretary of State IlayDe in favor of Papin
for 457 acres of marsh lan l on part
of which the docks and warehouses ar;
new built. This laud was several years
aso sold by the State to Kobbins aud
Appletou, and it soerns that the State !
officials gave another warrant without !
bckiugup the records to see who itle
longed to, and now the financier Papin i
proposes to adopt measures to make
good his claim to the marshes.
On the 5th ins*. Mr. Papin addressed
a letter to the agent of the Port Royal
Railroad from the office of?as the letter
heading has it?The Port Royal, Liverpool
Land and Improvement Company
(Limited), The Port Royal Dock, Warehousing
Transportation and Banking
Company, (Limited) and The United
States Central Railroad Company (Consolidated),
of all of which Papin is either
Manager Vice-President or Corresponding
Secretary, and impressing the
stranger with tha idea that said manager
J etc., is either a man of .vast wealth
\ and inliuence or thatrature ha^ bestowed
on him cheek unlimited. We have not i
yet decided fully .how the case stands but
wc think one or the other must be oorrect,
r.ud as we have failed yet to see
any. evidence of wealth we are inclined to
believe in the cheek. The letter i3 as
follows.
To the Agent of the Port Royal Railroad,
Dear Sir :
I beg to inform von that having become
owner by deed duly granted, signed
sealed and recorded, from the State of
South Carolina, to 457 acres of marsh
'land fronting on^Beaufort; and Battery
rivers, on part of whi<'h the present Railwharves
are hnilfc without legal au
thcrity; Your company is hereby notified
that the buildiugW new wharves or
pilings without my consent and written
approval will Toe considered as fctrespasaes
upon my property and such acted upon
accordingly.
I will always be ready to favor thejjrailroad
company in extending wharves or
making any shipping improvements thereon
upon proper application and understanding
for mutual benefit.
I intend to begin the building of 1000
feet wharves and as much ot warehoases
as soon as our State government muddle
is settled, which improvements will greatly
increase the shipping and warehousing
facilities so much needed by the daily
growiog trade of our new harbor, and
the most liberal inducements will be given
to manufacturers to erect their own
wharves and building improvements,?to
the contrary of the prohibitory policy
previously carried. I hope Sir, that the
Port Royal Rail Road will comply to my
notification and respect my yights with- j
out farther proceedings^Tor our mutual
interest and harmony. I remain, dear)
sir, Yours Respectfully,
Peter Papin.
At the time the two sailors on thej
Harvey Mills lost their lives by inhaling
the poisonous gases from the fire extiu-1
guishers, a very thorough investigation j
was made by Dr.'kJ.JA. Johason, coroner,
and it,' was proved to the satisfaction or
the jury lhat the gas that aaused their
death ivas forced inta the hold at the
oi-orn <ird it had nassed throusrh
the 230 feet of paokedcotton to the chain
lockers where the men lost their livesIt
was a matter of astonishment to all
that the eas should have permeated the
vessel throughout, and, a? the captain
said, there was not a man on board who
'
j would have hesitated to go into the
1 lockers as the danger was not even susj
pected by any. The Rockland (Maine)
j Opinion in noticing the unjust criticism? i
of the New York Uenild says :
' If the Herald knows any facts to sustain
its very grave accusations, it does
not state them, aod the people of this vicinity,
where the officers of the vessel are
well known, and known to be men of excel-1
lent reputations for humanity and good
judgment, will be very slow to believe the
charges without such facts. Jim Bennett
is likely to get another licking if
he allows bis paper to make reckless and
unfounded charges against the brawny
sons of Neptune from Maine. They
strike from the shoulder, and hit hard
when their dander is up in a righteous
cause."
THE REPUBLICAN MEETING.
Notwithstanding a pouring and chilly
rain on Tuesday, a large meeting of the
Republicans assembled to give expression
to their determination to stand by the
government of Mr. Chamberlain and oppose
by every legitimate means in their
power the efforts of the Democracy to ioj
stal Gem Hampton in the Gubernatorial
I chair. j
Owing to the rain the meeting was held
iu t^e arsenal and was organized by electing
S. J. Bampceld, Esq., as chairman
and A. G. Thouias as secretary.
Senator Samuel Green was the first
speaker. He gave a lively description of
his trip to Columbia at the opening of
the last session of the legislature, and the
j dingers that he was obliged to brave.
Ou his arrival, riflemen were coming by
every train amounting to a corps of some
afteeu hundred. On the organization of
the senate, he said, a great effort was
made by the Democrats to secure four
Republican votes to act with them, and
forty thousand dollars were on hand which
were to be used to buy them. He was
proud however, to say that the Republicans
stood firm and neither money,
threats nor cajolery could induce one of
them to desert his standard. He referred
to :he figures of Mr. Elliott, published
iu our last issue, and s?id that the census
would not sustain them. In Edgefield
county, said Mr. Green, the Republicans
had 1,50G majority in the election of 1874,
and iu the election of 1876 Gen. Hampton
received 3,000 more votes than there
were white voters in the county. 1200
Republicans had made an affidavit that
they did not vote at the last election but
had remained at their homes. In Laurens
one of the managers of election was
blindfolded and taken to Georgia, because
he would uot sign a return and only se
cared his freedom aud life through th
i itervention of some Democrats upon hi
promising uever to return to Suuth Care
lina again, but he returned nevertheless
and was one of the witnesses before th
P^nirrpssinnal MMmnitteea. He said tha
Gen. Hampton did not call for a tax bu
said to the taxpayer: " I have an exce
lent chance and if you will aid me by th
payment of the ten per cent, called fori
will be credited to you on your taxes, bi1
if I fail it will go for the good of th
cause I represent." But his hearers mm
ren.ember that the auditor is about con
pleling his books and that the tax calie
for by Gov. Chamberlain is the only li
gal tax and it must be paid or next suit
uier the people would fiud their lands n<
vertised and sold as usual and when tb
Democracy get in power,?if they ever <1
?their supreme court would decide th
titles good.
The action of Hamilton and Myers i
going over to the Wallace House receive
special attention from Mr. Green. The:
men, he said, had acted and worked wit
him in the campaign, laboring for tl
success of the party and,the principles (
which it was founded; but it was his d
i ty to say in unqualified terms that their a
j tion in going over to the Democracy hi
| dono more to injure the party that elcc
! ed them than the actions of any oth
men, and Gov. Chamberlain had to
him that it had weakened him'more ar
made him feel more like giving up ths
anything that has occurred. At the tin
of Hamilton and Myers going over it hi
been expected by the Governor and mai
Republicans, that so many would folio
thetn that those remaining would be po1
erless to act, but, as Mr. Chamberla

means within his power to maintain tl
laws and force obedience thereto, an
pledge ourselves as law abiding an
peaceful citizens to ren ler him all tb
aid in our power to assist in the dischart
of his duty in maintaining the law.; of tl
State.
Resolved, That we denounce in 11
measured terms tha conduct of Thorn;
Hamilton and N. B. Myers in abaudoi
ing the lav.ful House of Represontativi
organized in accordance with the Const
tution and laws of the Slate and abai
doning the principles advocated by thei
luring the campaign aud adhering to th
bogus government of which Wad
! Hampton claims to be Governor.
| Resolved, That a copy of the re olutior
be forwarded to His Excellency Gov. L
I H. Chamberlain and that a copy be fu
nished the Tribune and Commsrcia
for publication.

had said, the otfly thing that prevent*
such a stampede was the severe denunc
ation of the seceders by the re
of the Beaufort delegation. I do not &
they were bought, said the speaker, bi
I do say I could have 'got $10,000 if
would acknowledge Hampton as Goveri
er and Gantt refused $1,000.
Mr. Miller was the next speaker ar
he gave some figures which he wished i
to publish but owius to the darkness v
could not get them down. ;He said th:
in Edgefield there was a Democratic vo
for every two of the white inhabitan
counting women and children, and i
Laurens one vote to eveiy three. He ne:
gave a harrowing description of the su
ferings of the people who have been ca
off by their former employers for votit
the Republican ticket; but in spite of al
he was proud to say his race could not 1
bought and the existence of the_Repub]
can party to-day proves it.
Mr. Gantt was the next speaker. K
told his hearers how the enemy encon
passed him about with their attempts i
consign him to everlasting perdition by tl
the sale of bis principles, but he remcu
ed how. his race had once been put on tl
auction block, and when the day of tri
oame they proved that they were not ui
fit for freedom by refusing to listen to tl
arguments of the tempter.
Speeches were made by T. . II. Whec

re-olutiou, and ulso ad 'pted a rc

e We find the following iuterestin
5 sketch in.the Atlanta Constitution of
j niau who was once well known in Ileal
fort, lie first went to North Carolini
d"
and in two years had five million dolla:
I worth of bonds and] had endorsed on
~ million two hundred aud^fifty thousan
j dollars worth of paper, oe which tl
cash had been obtained. Rush in

to Florida.
^ Here his brilliant career really opene<
' Although a fugitive from justice in
)n State that neighbored Florida, he at on<
u_ became master of the situation in Florid;
He succeeded in getting four million do
icj lars worth of bonds at one haul, and the
. set up for a man of wealth. Hejmrchas*
er a lovely site and built him a home that
jj dukc'might.have envied. His equipaj

,e eclipsed that one with which Jim Fis
used to astonish New York. He lived lil
a prince. He lacked not a single desir
^ His slightest whim was gratified, i;
^ actually bouglit a United State Senate
jd ship. One day while lookiag out fro
his nest of safety, he took a notion to j
. to the Senate. But there was no vaca
^ cy. He paid Mr. Abijah Gilbert, wt
was then sombrely and silently scrvir
t Florida in that capacity, $30,000 to r
j sign, having previously arranged with tl
Governor that in consideration of $15,0(
q .
in hand paid he would call an cxO-a se
j sion of the Legislature, that ha might 1
at once elected. 7!As he already owned
,e majority of the Legislature, the schen
would have gone through'a whirline, bi

jah, who having received .$15,000 of tl
money in advance, and having bonds [v
as "collateral for the^bftlaDce.Swas ishai

^ There are two rewards offered for Li
id tlefield's delivery in North Carolina?oe
te of $10,000 and one of $5,000. The got
? ernors of Florida have refused to give th
handsome recalcitrant up, and the angr
j. Carolinians incorporating the offer c
is $10,000 reward for his body iu their cor
J" stitutional law, are awaiting events.
The tempting reward offered fjr hii
q has tempted many detectives to go t
e Florida and try kidnap him. The stor
e of some of these attempts reads like a r<
0
mance. On one occasion the detective
is took on the guise of Northern tourist
out seeking for health and pleasure. The
rT" put up at the hotel ?nd lived at a rattlin
paee. Finally they met Littlefi Id, "a
i 'by chance," and then the play begat

g dined and wined by him. At the end c
ie a week they announced that they ha>
it j brought their private yacht with them

t. tlefieid on board the yacht, and then scou

j i would havc'their iJ.ii?CriOus captive *aie
i' Littlefield humored them, until they had
? reached the river and taken their places
5 in the yacht. Then shaking his baud- j 1
1 some head, he said: '*1 believe I won't
s go on the water today. You aH goon;
j I will have a ueat supper fixed wheu you
t get back." ^
At another time it was arranged to steal
his private car from the train as he passed
Live Oak en route to Tallahassee. Live S
g Oak is only 20 miles from the Georgia
a line. The engine slipped up quietly,
j. coupled to Littlefield's car. which had
v been uncoupled from the train, and was
^ ! just about to start at a mile a nflnute for j
ie the Georgia line, when the shrewd ra!j j
^ roader slipped out of the back door, aud
left the cage without a bird.
The question is: '"Now that Drew is
.e inaugurated, will he not surrender Littleie
field upon Governor Vance's demand ?''
e I really believe thatjthe people of Florida
would bj sorry to see him go. He is re- I
gaining his old popularity, aud there are
t many who hopCfcthat he will get his rail,e
roads back again.
