ASYNOLDS, AssoIATE EtMs. IN'-RspowsE to a request from the investigating conmittee; Senator Blaine refers thein to Messrs. J. B. Campbell, C. G. Memmiinger and E. W. M. Mackey, for information as to the conduct of the election in Charles ton. An Unanswerable Argument. Judge Hudson's dissenting opinion on the validity of thu consolidation bonds is unanswerable. Differing from Judges Aldrich and Thomson, he argues the question in its fullest scope and decides it on its merits. Judge Hudson plainly intinfates the absurdity of electing three judges and spending thousands of dollars to decide only one of the several ques tions affecting the validity of the debt; and very properly inintains that the people are only interested in deciding the final question-whether, from any cause, the bonds are invalid. It will be remembered that Judges Thomson and Aldrich decided that the court had been appointed merely to decide whether the original bonds were valid, without inquiriug whether any existing invalidity was cured by subsequent act of tMe State; and after deciding that the original issue was illegal, they gave small comfort to the repudiationists, by intimating that on the general issue the Supreme Court might make the State pay them after all. Such a decision satisfied nobody, and was not wo.ath one-tenth the money and time expended on securing It. But Judge Hudson does not dodge the issue. However unpleas ant the task may be, he tells the people that all irregularities and deficiencies have been cured, and that the debt Is fastened on the State as securely as was the Old Man of the Sea on tho back of Sinbad. The opinion is very voluminous, but the gist of it is about as follows: The Radical investigating committee in 1871- imnade a report showing practically the same frauds that were subsequently unearthed by the bond commission of 1878. In 1872 the Legislature passed the validating act, which railed all the acts of the financial board. Still later, the Legislature, by its settle ment with Kimnpton, recognized the debt. Again, its validity was estab lished in the Morton Bliss case, and still later, Cardozo was tried for illegal consolidation and acquitted. Then, too, the consolidation act itself declared that the bonds were a con tract between the State and the creditors. Judge Hudson then shows that the Constitution of 1868, under which we now live, made the acts or the Legislature and of the State officials acts of the State herself. A long list of decisions is then cited to show that the State cannot re pudiate the acts of her officials, against bonafide holders of claims. Judge Hudson also holds that the consolidation act is just as sacred as any other settlement made by thme present Legislature, and furthermore that it is a comupromise by which the' State got rid of two-thirds of her debt. In conclusion he says these bonds are "valid obligations of the State, and their payment she cannot avoid on any recognized principles of law. She may escape through re pudiation, but the law will lend hei no helping hand in this last desperato resort." This opinion, covering the whole ground, foreshadows the decision of the Supreme Court. It is better to submit at once. The equities are* with~ the people, but the law is against them. Moreover, if the State stands on the ground of' high honor she will, while repudiating Radical bonds, be obliged to pay the ante-Reconstruction,. debt dollar for dollar, or about $9,000,000 against $7,000.000 under the present settlement. Don't let us stir the muddy wvaters any more. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. The N'ewberry JIerald says th~e new stock law gives a.most universal satis faction in that county. A bale of cotton was sold1 in the ' Abbeville nmarket last week at four cents a pound. Mr. John Boyd of' Chester, killed a hog last week .weighing 1,168 pounds.| It was not one of the "native breed''" so much admired by Judge Mackey. Two colored wvomeni in Anderson recently offered to sell their children, two boys six months old, to the circust for *60 each. A AIX-year-old -buck was brought Into Columbia last week, from the lower end of Rlichland county, and sold for seven cents a pound. Ex-Gov. M, L. Bonham has been ap pointed bY.Qoverpor Simp onrailroad Onalay a toda nih Mu>Thty :tinox's gin house and four bales -of cotton were burned in Chester county. As to the origin of the fire, Mr. Knox is undecided whether it was incendiarl or accidetsl. Dr. Bonner, President of the Due West Female College, bought forty turkeys last week for twelVe dollars only thirty cents a piece. - The turkeys came fiom Tennessee in a drove. Mr. J. P. Lawson, a North Carolina tobacconist, accidentally shot himself through the thigh in Newberry last wet;k, with a pistol. 'ho wound, though painful, is not serious, as the bone wao not touched. Mr. John A. Workman, of Laurens, met with a stranoe and severe accident in Newberry on Taturday before last. On getting out of a chair in the barber shop, hIs foot turned, and he fell with his whole weight on his right leg, breaking the smaller -bone be tween the knee and the ankle. At a quilting party, on Mr. W. F. Fountain's place, in Darlington coun ty, last Tuesday night, a difficulty occurred between James Campbell and Dean English, both colored, in which the latter lost his life-being fatally stabbed by Campbell. le died from hemorrhage. The as'assin uade his escape. Andrew Woods, a notorious 6lmi nal, who had been evading the law for a long time, was arrested in the vicinity of Florence Suvday before last. After le was arrested he was taken to Florence, and while there attempted to wrest a gun from one of the gentlemen who had him in charge, when le was shot and severely wounded. He has since died. The Abbeville papers furnish the following particulars of the recent shooting of Thomas N. Tolbert, ex treasurer of that county: The shoot Ing was done by a negro named An drew Palmer, who was after Tolbert's money. The weapon used was a common shot-gun, and fifty-one shot took effect in the victim's neck and head, lodging against the skull and amnong the muscles of the neck. The shot were extracted, and a few hours afterwards Tolbert went ta his home in a buggy. Palmer has been arrest ed and fily identified as the right pa-ty. Both Tolbert and Palmer are true-blue Radicals. Among the champion farmers of Lancaster county, the Ledger men tions the following: Mr. Ni. R. Du ren, a one armed mai, made 4,000 pounds of cotton on four and a half acres of land two acres of which were fertilized. Mr. J., M. Hagins, on three acres, manured with 200 pounds of' phosphate to the acre, gathered 1,610 pounds of cot ton to the acre. Sol. Vaughan, colored, reports that he made 300 buQhels of corn and ten bags of cotton with the work of one horse. In addition to this, he raised all his hog ment. Sol. always voted for Hampton. A colored man named William Boy kin, while on his way home last Sit urday night, and when just on the outsiiits of Camden, was set upon by masked men, who out him several times, some of the stabs being danger ous. No cause can be given for the deed, except that it may have been on account of an old family feud. From remarks made at the time, it is pre suined th)at the guilty wish to lay it upon the whites, because William 'was one of the witniesses against the so called intimidators who were recently taken to Columbia; but all the circum atances point to the negroes who are after avenging an old wrong.
