'' *V! £ Farewell to the Teller Commit* . fee. " ' ' -^Vi,r ~ This oommittae, which has been hold ing its sessions for nine days in Charles ton for the purpose of manufacturing campaign thunder, Mused its investiga tions iu these latitudes on Wednesday, tho 29th January. If It has succeeded MFMytUag« it has been in rendering it self ikjieulous. With regard to political investlgatlorfs Which seek to go beyond and behind the eeorooy of the ballot, we have this to say in -yenenU, that ih^y aic at all times dangerous, but in timos of party heat and struggle for ascendancy wo peculiar* ly so. The system of election by ballot is of that nature that it seldom admits of con. trsdiction in it* results, Shcopt through the legitimate checks with which it is surrounded by regulating acts, end every attempt to question its decisions by dis appointed candidates and political part ies invariably leads to greater wrongs, injus tice and lawlessness than the origina.’ evil which is sought to be remedied. The ouro in tact is worse than the dis ease. Nothing short of madness or the recklessness engendered by political des pair could have inapired Blaine to pen his fiuaour resolutions for an invrstiga- taon o( the recent elections in the South, and it is with a feeling well nigh akin to pity that we have witnessed the absurd and ridiculous position occupied by the grave Senators selected to give pregnan cy to his crazy conception*. Wo are Iws surprised at what the com mittee has unearthed than at what it has foiled to discover. It has travelled from Washington to New Orleans in the wake of a precedent pestilence, and from the CmosttuCity the Queen of rebel mu nicipalities, which sits saucily hy the aea, and all its discoveries can be sum- add up in a few words, vis; that there was a certain amount of fraud in the late election, but not more—yes, loes— than there has been during ibe last ten years in this State, and not a tithe of what takes plane in tho otty of New York alone at every eleotion, municipal or general. In other words, the disease is epidsmlo and not endemic. Aeoording to the views expressed by Francis Park man, the historian, the Hon. John Jay, and the rampant Re publican Wendell Phillips in late contri- buttons to the North American Review, oar whole system of elective franchise is a gigaatis swindle end universal suf frage a complete failure. The conclu sions t ^ n * reached by these ablo writers ere drawn from their experience and ob- servutioa of the workings of the elective machinery tn foe North and not in the South. - * ‘ v _ We say we feel pity for the committee particularly the Democratic members thereof. They were sent on a fool’s or- wlH only g®t kwgM at for barring tho ps/.* ' into afi that is healthy in oar efocfcve system snd to convince the people of the Us&ed States by s stem onty of foots, snd not. Ashantee fables, that their po litical fabric was in danger by the disease, unless some-remedy wss devised for its excision, weshou'd have tailed the up prunth of such a committee with pica sure and respect, but when we ooasfdar that the whole ufifuir is a farce, dictated hy men who^wonld not scruple to per- . pet date Tho greatest election frauds for party ends, ivo regard ’the proceeding* with a feeling more approach!rij^to eon, tempt than any other sentiment. Wo undertake tp ray that If the testi mony taken in Charleston is ever pub lished in book form there will be found more lies in that one volume than id both Baron Mnnchumwn or the Ara bian Night's entertainments. t Wo do not believe there is a State in the Union in which less viitlence, excite ment or fraud was manifested or prac ticed on election day 1878 thao in South Carolina. And if the committee will extend its investigation to.New York or any other large Northern eity they will find more intimidation and fraud was ex- ortbed on that day in any one ol them than throughout onr whole State. In law abiding Britain a single candi date fur office kaa /»ften to undergo more rough tieatment, humiliation and abuse on polling day than took place in the whole of South Carolina last election day. We are credibly informed by an eye witness that Lord Macaulay, the historian, was grossly insulted aad mob bed when he contested the city of Edin burgh with Cowan. In fact spoiled eggs, dead cats and brick bats have always been r.!9h1mttrt>le with the British people as pn r ty missile*, and torn coats, brokerf heads and black eyes are on such occa sions dispensed with a liberality truly as 1 tonishing. Time and again in English bistory the Government of the day has bnll-dozed an obstructive House of Lords by crea. ting new Piers, and time, for the safety of the Crown, the constitution and the geocn! welfare of the nation, doing an act which can only be justified by the exigencies of the State. Even granting then there was a large amount ol ballot- box stuffing and other frauds on election day in South Carolina, it is no worse than stuffing the upper House of on Im perial Pailiament, when the very frame work of society depends for its stability upon the extraordinary remedy. In this county during the late elec tion one consistent >hit« Republican, we are told, had bis face plastered with second-hand chews of tobacco, but if wo desire to come hp to the ultra*civiliza* tiou of England or the North we must throw a little more dash and spirit into our conduct on election days; such as riding United States Marshals and Su pervisors on rails, tarring and feathering an occasional Commissioner, and testing the ago of a suspicious looking egg by breakUg it over the head of an obnox ious voter. We wish Mr. Blaine and his brother stalwarts luck of their water-haul. If the testimony which the sub committee carries with it to Washington be all the Republican capital called in, we wbuld advise the party to select a new TrUer for tho Bank, who will not hesitate to recognize in the timir currrnnj found in the Charleston ballot-boxes the legiti mate notes of its own Directors in the hands of the Democracy and presented at the Republican counter for redemp tion in pure coin stamped with the im ages of Liberty and Honest Govern ment. foomlUNICATED.] The Allendale IXem'ocrncy. -, Allkndalr, S. 0., February 1, 1879. Mr Editor : The Secretary of the Reorganized Allendale Democratic Club, portly la pursuance of Instruc tions from that body and partly upon his own responelbillty, hoe seen proper to indite you the Orel Chapter on Al lendale politics. And in the shape o! a sequel to the same I now propose to write you the Second. I regret’ that In this Instance the habit which is customary with some correspondents of stating Just so much of an occurrence as suits their side of the question and suppressing the re mainder as well as that unklndnees nod injustice which often marks the course of those who, hurried on hy vain bigotry and a morbid offloious- ness into measures of doubtful .pro priety, seek to justify themselves by casting slurs and Insinuations cn those who, being freeer from these weak nesses, have acted with belter judg- meat, compels ms to burden your col umns with this communication. Mr. Tobin says that the modified form of Dr. Ogilvie’s resolutions, Intro duced by Mr. O’Brien, were rejected hy a majority vote of the dub. When the fact la, a direct vote was never taken on these resolutions, and ! think a spirit of fairness would have requir ed Mr. Tobin to have stated the lad* as they occurred, to-wit: That the fol lowing resolution— “Resolved, That It be referred to the County- Executive Committee to deiwtlon the advisabUi' v? sf*= X v \ thetlub has taken action In the preml ses rt —was unanimously adoptedby the dub as* substitute for Dr. Ogilvie’s resolutions, in regard to that Spirit of oppres sion which It waa Dr. Ogllvle’s misfor tune to see, I have to say that Meeers Brabham and Yonm&ns, -who on this occasion represented the voice of majority of the dab, opposed these resolutions upon the full and sufficient grounds, which they assigned, viz: Jet. that section five would become Inoperative In case thirteen members of a subdivision did not attend, and there being no epeciflo power granted to any other portion oi jfoe dub to ap point for such subdivision, the dub would either lose such delegates, or another call of the club would be n'e- cess Hated for said appointment*;-' 21. That under the provision? of section 6 all delegates should be ap pointed at a regular session. In oa&£ a convention should bo called, after one monthly meeting and before the next, the club, by its own bydaws, would be debarred from appointing any delegates, because, under the clr cumstnnces, they could not bo ap pointed at a regular meeting. 31. That In the event of their Aflop tibn, every member who aspired tohe come a delegate would more than probably attempt to raise a subdivis ion, and .the result would be, in many instances, the psme Individual’s name would be listed in more than one sub division, and. In all probability, there not being a geteral attendance of the club at tbe appointment Of delegates se as to enable them to revise their lists, Inextricable confusion would en- sue, and all the friends of tbe resolu tlone, with the assistance of two PETT adeiphla lawyers, wotild be unable to name the proper persons to receive tbe.credentialB from the president. 4th. That the fracture over the sub divisions of twenty-five would be com pletely disfranchised, and would have no right, no vote nor voice in regard to the selection of men who were to take in charge the safety, tbe interest ami the honor of their country. Mr. Youmans distinctly stated that he opposed the resolutions upon the ground that they were too complica ted to t>e operative ; that with differ ent parties listing names for subdi visions, and members changing from one subdivision to another, tbe club would be kept in a state of tbe ut most confustop. He further more distinctly stated that -he was in fa>or of minority rep resentation ; that he bad no desire to oppress them, and that it was because there were minorities in other clubs who had no representation ; that he dr sired the matter brought before tbe County Executive Committee, and pledged himself, ia oase tbe Execu tive, Committee took no action upon the Resolution, to use hie Itifiaence to have it passed in the Attendaie-elttb, Now, an to those shameful scenes which Dr. Ogilviespeaks of having been enacted upon that floor, I am sorry to say that tbe insinuate g language of that gentleman necessitates the statement, that the only two scenes,of wlik-h I have any reoolh-ctioo, that augured anything like a serious ter mination were scenes in which Dr a., -l i j- «TATB Judge Kershaw is bolding Court in lUmptob. j Charleston is happy in boras racing this week.

Alfxandria, Va^ January 23—In the Arlington c$se to-day Judge Hughes read a long decision. The Court decides to grant tbe Instructions asked for by the plataliff and to re fuse Instructions on the same points of law prayed for by the defendants. It holds that the Supreme Court had in two contested cases settled the prinolplt) that the owners of land sub jected to direct taxation of Congress under the act of 1862 63 had a right to pay tbe tax at any time before the tax sale^th rough a friend or agent as well as in person, and that the tender of payment or the practice of tbe com missioners in refusing payment of the tax a friend or agent prevented fer- eiture and Invalidated the tax sale made after such tender or after the adoption of such practice.' Tbe Judge considered with elaboration the dis tinction sought to be act t?p by the defendant's counsel between such sale made to private purchaser and oft* made to the United States, and held that, although tbe Supreme Court had not passed upon any oase of sale made to the United States unddr the cir cumstances described, yet there waa no principle ef law and no provision of FOR COMPOSTING . : ' ‘ - - — . j. . . .£ - USE * ^ ■•Afar Chemicals ! • h .rtiittf, CoftimMa & Augusu K *F. 878. j whom he had some miauDderetaoding in regard to the town election Tbe wounds, though serious, are notebi:- sidered fatal.- An effort is b<lag made to build a hotel at Summerville, near Augusta, for the accommodation of Northern invaiye.'
