Evory weire thero was hailed with light the nows that Judgo Si onton had decided tho South Ca lina Railroad tax caso in favor tho Stato. Tho poopl will got om this sourco for State, County id School taxos, over $200,000, as is was a test case, and all the her tax casos will not be prossod . decision. Tho taxes duo inl ickons will amount to about $14, )0, and ovor two-thirds of this tni will go to the County and Ahool funds. It is estimated that applied to that purposo, the coun tax will bo suliciont to pay all ist indobtednoss. Tho campaign is boginning to pon in oarnost and the candidates r guborunatorial honors tire avail 1g themselves of the opportunit.y f addrossing th peoplo at, the aass-mooti ngs in tho sevoral coun is, whoro invitat ions havo hen ;ivon them.

CHIIA It1,ESTOx N C, Mar.1 -. Dr. J. William Stokes., the populist. who was beaten for Congress f'm this district by judgo 1ziar at tho election on Tuesday last, is in the city with John Gary Evans, the candidato for governor, nosi nl lfl It V. 141 ki.. ' etiiig 11ip 1 contest for judlge I zlar's seat. I wvas not generally known (imt iter were tallyors at each (if thei poll during tho (liy in the interest Dr. Stokes who noted down el voter and the total i nmber wh< votdd. W. Hi. Schitloy, tallyer a tho 4th ward poll1, is sa1id to elain that thore is a discrepancy of I; votes between is tally and th~ number of votes in the bIox as re coived b~y tiht coinmmiissi iioer. Mr. Schitley was seen and aiske< what were thle fact of I he irregularii itios in p)rocinict 2 ward -1. 11 said he was under pledge of s'ecres' for the present concerning the in cidents of the election at this pol but that they were sufhicient in hih opinioni to throw out the botx. Ib sid t~hat ini addition to Ithe poll list being aibseint that the box was not sealed as requ ired by law, These reports and the appearance of John Gary Fvans in this citN yesterday and cor iin const tatiomu which were held by him withi W 0-ibbes W haleyv during the day gav< rise to rumors of a contest browini It seems to ho cortain that this ini cident and its bearing on the olce tion was the subject of the soera'i consultations but whatever coin clusions or purpose they have ati rivedl at has not boon1 dlisclosed. D)r. Stokes said that lie had uio yet admitted his defoat or "tlirowi up the sponge" as had booen state< by some of the papors. lHe, in fact thioumght there was still room fo doubt, Hie had simply refused t< say anything one way or the otho; to the ne wspaiper correspondents~ an-'he did inot proposo to acknow. edge defeat until he knew it to be a fact. The returns fron Lexing ton as yet were very ma agre, he said, amounting only to those re ceived from four precincts which gave him a majority of votes. These precincts wore along the lines of railroad where Judlgo Iziar was strongest. Judge lar'siajority in the dis trict is from 600t to 700. it is thought that a scheme is being hatched to induco' the board of canvassers to throw out eough Charleston votes to warathWem giving the certificate to Stokes. [Greenville New. The above telegram is a fair sam. ie -of the style- usually adapted b2 ho anti writers in giving facta ~1ut allianemnen, Hosvever i T e .rgretted that Stch is thei r stomn'1 ,peaking of thoseo wh er With loom, yet faots aro stub n thingsk and' can. not be go aside by ridicule. If Dr. Stokoi has boon counted out by th< Oharloston managers, the cortifi cato should be givon him. Judg< Izler would certainly not dosiro to represent the district in Congross whon Dr. Stokos was.the choico of tho poople. -An invostigation will do no harm, and if Judge Izler is electod, the Roformor will bo will ing to yiOld'to tho will :of the ma jority, bit they shou niover con sent to submit to tythinig bIt a fair and hoiest count of the votes. -------N- 0 ADW Lexington Aetm.
