1' - HE PEOPLE'S JOURNAL L" ll . PICKENS S. C., THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 89. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. kAbW DAY UV TUiHA MbX6ION. IN A IHURRY TO GET liO1E. A Large Amount of Important Leg Islation Was Completed-Botb lousea Engaged In Making Con tinued Stories. The Legislature of South Carolina adjourned sine die on, the 21st of Feb ruary, with the patriotic purpose of celebrating Washington's birthday at their homes. The volume of business on the last day was very great but a goodly number of Senators and Repre sentatives remained at their posts un til the hour of adjournment was reaclhed at 3 o'clock on Wednesday m~orning. The Senate passed complimentary resolutions in regard to its presiding officer, Hon. M. B. McSweeney, who made a fitting response. The House a4ppted similar resolutions as to the efficien- of Hon. F. B. Gary who is serving his third term as speaker, and in addition ha was given a gold-headed walking stick, for all of which he ex pressed thanks in a most sultable man ner. The resolution providing for the prep aration and completion of the history to accompany the Confederate .rolls was continued until next session. Sen ator Barnwell said that there was not time enough left in which to select the historian, and Senator Sheppard said one thousand dollars would not pay for a history that would do justice to South Carolina's part in the war between the States, and that such a history could not be written in one year. A resolution to appoint a joint com mission to ascertain the cost of arrange ment and publication of Colonial and Revolutionary records was passed by the Senate, and Senator Mower was -placed on the commission. The Senate proposed to increase the appropriation for the engrossing de partment from $4,500 to $5,500. The Hopse refused to agree to this amend ment. The House refused to concur in the appropriation for the contingent fund for Adjutant General. A contingent fund of $500 was allowed for the Su preme Court. Mr. Bacot tried in vain to have a bill relative to recording births, deaths, marriages and reporting contagious diseases left over with the hope of its being passed. The committee on agriculture re ported unfavorably on the resolution requestfibg Clemson College to make experiments in the use of wide-tide wagons. The report was adopted and the bill killed. Senator Aldrich offered the following resolution, which was adopted by a rising vote: Be it resolved, That the Senate has felt during its present session profound sorrow on account of the illness of Gov ernor W. H. Ellerbo, Chief Magistrate of the State, and beg to extend to him our-sympathy and sincere hope for his speedy recovery. That a copy of this resolution be sent by the clerk to his Excellency, the Governor. TRYINS TO DOND THE CONSTABLES. The bill to amend the dispensary law by changing the time of settlement of county dispensers with the county and town brought out an amendment from Senator Barnwell to require the con stables tu furnish bond in the sum of $500 each while in office. Mr. Barnwell said he trusted the bill would not be continued. The amend ment sought to attack one of the most monsti ous provisions of the dispensary law-he referred to unbonded, irre sponsible constabulary. It was a fea ture unknown to the law of South Caro lina-unknown to the institutions of a liberty-loving people. The high ofil cers of the law, the sheriffs of the court, the marshals ol the Federal Government, all must provide sureties * for their good behavior, and their dep uties acted under the responsibility of -their superior's bond. But here this petty officer, appointed at will and re * - movable at pl easure-unlimited in number and unknown to moste-seized goods in some cases without warraat and were not responsible under the -law ; for if not possessed of property a civil suit was a farce, and if prosecuted criminally he was pardoned. No rem edy remained to the citizen but vio lence or bribery. The bold could re sist and the rich could buy. it was the weak r i.d humble who went to the wall. Every Senator knew instances of what had happened. He know of one instance in the early days of the - law where the home of a peaceful citi zen was rummaged from garret to base ment in the absence of the owner on the mere statement of a colored me . nial, and nothing whatever discovered. When he had first heard of the ap pointment of the constabulary he had *predicted bloodshed. The Senators - know whether the prediction came - true. The Darlington war, the rend ing asunder of the militia, the state of * siege at the capitol, were episodes no citizen could well forget. He did not allude to them except as a warning. Such things did not happen now, per haps; but they could happen, and that was enough. Let us remove this re preach from the statute book. Let us abolish this relic of unhappy times. The amendment was as simple as day. It was in the usual and familiar phrases of the law. No 'unusual principle was * introdwced, no innovation was made - upon established customs. It would only confine the person charged with the enforcement of the law to a legal enforcement. Friends of the dispen * ary should welcome the -amendment, for it would show their good faith in * desiring its enforcement as a part of the State machinery. Enemies of the * dispensary law should vote for it, be * cause they, like the friends of the dis pensary, wore born free and were citi zens of a free State. * It was said by the Senator from Flor ence that convictions could not be pro oured in Charleston. It was a reproach to the State that a law should remain * unrepealed and unamended which could not be enforced in its chief city and, In fact, in none of its larger uities. The bond was given, of course, to the State, like all othier bonds. How wretched must be the class of consta bles who could not procure sureties in the small sum required. Let the Sen ate rise to~the emergency and wipe out this stain. It was said that the amend ment came late. Re had waited .for just suob an occasion as this when a House bill amending the law should be found on the Calendar and it would not take more than a few hours to de oide whether it would become law or not. If the House rejected it the re sponsibility was upon it. The Senate had done its duty. They could go to their homes in peace. Senator Dean agreed with Senator Barnwell. He thought that irrespon. sible constables should be made respon sible. There was no doubt that blood shed had been caused by irresponsible constables, and the blood of all of those viotims now cried aloud to the Sena tors for the passage of this amend ment. Senator Ilderton said that if this amendment was adopted the State would be unable to keep a constable in Charleston. Senator Hough spoke in favor of the amendment and Senator May field favor ed continuing. The motion to continue %he bill was lost. Yeas-Aldrich, Alexander, Bowen, Graydon Hay, Henderson, Ilderton, Love, Manning, Mauldin, Mayfield, Stanland, Suddath, Wallace and Wil llame-15. Nays-Appelt, Archer, Barnwell, Blakeney, G. W. Brown, Connor Dean, Dennis, Douglas, Glenn, Hough, Liv ingston, Marshall, Sarratt, Scarbor ough, Sheppard, Sullivan, Talbird, Walker and Waller-20. Senator Graydon wanted to kill the bill and made a strong speech in favor of striking out the enacting words of the bill. Senator Barnovell made another de cisive effort in behalf of the bill in or der to preserve his amendment. On the motion to strike out the vote stood : Yeas-Alexander, Bowen, Graydon, Hay, Henderson, Ilderton, Love, Maul din, Mayfield, Suddath, Wallace and Williams-12. Nays-Aldrich, Appelt, Archer, Barnwell, Blakoey, G. W. Brown, Connor, Dean,,Dennis, Douglass, Glenn, t Hough, Livingston, Manning, Mar shall, Mower, Sarratt, Scarborough, Sheppard, Stanland, Sullivan, Talbird, Walker and Waller-24. Senator Barnwell then moved to amend by adding the following pro viso: Provided, that said constables shall, before entering upon the duties of their office, each give bond in the sum of five hundred dollars, with sureties, to be approved by the Attorney General, conditioned for the faithful perform ance of the duties of his oflice and in case of the breach of said bond suit may be brought thereon by any person aggrieved thereby in the county where any of the obligors reside or in any county where such breach may have occurred. t The vote on Mr. Barnwell's amend ment stood : Yeas-Aldrich, Appelt, Archer, Barnwell, Blakeney, Bowen, G. W. Brown, Connor, Dean, Dennis, Doug- t lass, Glenn, Henderson, Hough, Living ston, Manning, Marshall, Mayfield, Mower, Sarratt, Scarborough. Shop pard, Stanland, Sullivan, Talbird, t Walker and Waller-27. Nays-Alexander, Graydon, liderton, Love, Mauldin, Suddath, Wallace and - Williams-8. The bill was then given its third reading as amended. This piece of legislation was a dis tinctive victory for Senator Barnwell. He won on the merits of his amend ment, and the vote will show that on each proposition his side gained votes. RATIFYING TIE ACTS.

CHICAGO PLATFORM STANDS i)iM( ltmA'ic iO'OsIT ION IN rAUC linantallistaa Will be the Paramotai Issi in lik1 Next Campaign. I Senator James K Jonos, the chair inas of the Duinocratic national ex . ecitivo committte, is firmly convince( that the l)emocratic position on thi Ct rrency will not be changed, and in I recent inteorview he has outlined titn reasons for his belief. Senator Jonei said : " To say that the next Demnocrati national convention will reallirm ti positLion taken by the convention 1 I SM9 is to assert what every candid mai even slightly familiar with existini facts, knows to be true. It is as certaih as anything human can be that tho question of bimetalismn will ho the lead ing issuo in the campaign next year And it is reasonable to expect, that tin illjority of the people will next tiun<1 declaro for the party which mncii, what it says and will redoem itl piledges, and that they will not agal a be tricked into casting their votes it favor of tho enemies of the principlei in which they believe." , " On what grounds (10 you base youl - hopes for success next year ?" he wai iskud. " Some of the reasons why I an i strongly hopeful of tio futuro of oul cause are as follows: In the camupaigi - of 18116 both parties declared for )I -letat -m; tile Democratm for independ ent action by the Untited States, tl ltepublicans for an international agrut Iuent, which they pledged thlemulve to promoto.' True, hII s declaration o the part of the Republicans was uni imade to catch votes, and because th party lead-rk did not dare to go to th a polls without it. I think now no on - any longer doubts that the fixed put poo of rlhose who controlled these clat ers was to maintain the gold standart r and to prevent, not promotc, an Interl national agreement. The declaration - however, served its purpose, and vas numbers of sincero bimotallists wor, persuaded to vote the JRopublicai ticket in the hielief that they were vot ing for an honest elfort to secure inter national bi metal itim. The leaders w hi were responsible for this trick hav already commiticd their party to tli binglo gold standard, so far as t0be1 can, and if Lbey daro speak out honc ostly in their next national platform i will dclaro for the single gold btand ard." " 1h> you belive that the cause o binetallibn is improving ?
