WIt NSORO, 8. . TVRfiDAr, JrAN[1ARY 21, , * 1879, 79. MEANS DAVIN, R0r4. JNO, M. RXYNOLDB. AMBOCIATH EDITOR. GOVERNORt IIAMPTON has been inter viewed by the Register reporter. Ie stands by - resumption and hard money, thinks frauds in election shouild be punished, denies that the Radicals were intimidated, and hopes that the Teller committee will tell the truth, and not make a partisan and garbled report. He thinks of visiting Florida for a few weeks, and will resume his office for a few days to perform some unfinished duties before finally turning the executive ofice over to Governor Simpson. Tu 19EASON THAT Charles Nord hoff's Washington specials to the New York 1lrald are so generally report e4 alises from two causes: first, that the Herald is about the only leading paper that endeavors to get the truth free from partisan bias; and secondly, that it values Mr. Nordhoff's services in discovering the truth at the sun of ten thou4and dollars a year. Any body who lo paid ten thousand a year by the Herald is worth quoting. The independence and impartiality of tile Herald wero never more splendidly manifested, nor more liberally re warded than in the days of 1876, and since then its reports have always received great attention, A CouRESPONDENT says that Gover nor Iendricks is in Washington for the purpose of effecting a reconcilia tion between the Eastern and Western wings of the Democracy oil the money question. It is intimated tlat as the East refuses to go to Indiana, Indiana will be willing to accept resumption on condition that greenbacks shall not continue to be legal tenders. The Democrats always opposed the legal tender not, and its constitutionality was only confirmed by the Supreme Court on the ground that it was a military necessity. Unity in the Democratic ranks is of the greatest importance, and under present lights it is better for all elements to combine on hard money. Let the Western Mahomet oome to tile mountain. TiE Register of Saturday desires to have an end put to the squabbles of Hayes and Conkling over tile New York appointments, viewing it as merely a personal Issue that threatens to consume the time 'of the Senate. We differ with our contemporary. This contest embroils tile whole Re publican piarty, and palrticularly the Rep)ublicans of New York, and the longer it goes on tile better for the Democrats. Indeed, il view of tile dlisgraceful Kilkenny cat fighlt between Tammany and Tilden, Republican discontent in New York is badly needed to save thlat State to us5 ini 1880. The Democratic Senators should support tile app)ointmenlts, not that they love Hayes more, but Conkling less. It is tile p)olicy al * ~ ways to hlelp tile weaker faction of the * common enemy. The Senatorships, Colorado hlas elected N. G. Hilli, the p)resident of a large smelting furi nlace, to succeed Chaflfee ill the United States Senate. lie Is a Republican, but, not much of a politician. Connecticut has elected Platt, Re publican, to succeed Barnum, Demo crat. Hawley was tile most promi nlent candidate, buit the eleents comn billed against him. P. T. Barnum, the circus man, received tnvotes o the first ballot. Missouri elects George G. Vest for the long term, lie was Confederate Senator during the war, and is said to be a man of great eloquence. For the short term, made vacanlt by the deathl H ~ of Biogy, and filled temporarily by Armstrong, and which expires on tile fld of March, Gen. James Shlields was elected. Tihe meanling of this political move is not apparent, Imless it be adevice to give tihe general, whol nesit, some money, anId to offset the election of an ox-rebel for the long term. General Shields Is tihe only Sttsin the Senate, having formerly anve whom hasinevern Mi)r~nn eea He Is 01(d anId somnewhiat Infirm. The Louisiana Legislature is still balloting unsuccessf\lly for a suc.. cessor to E~ustis. Eustis leads the list, anld Kennler Is second, with several The Signification of "Ballot." Last year the whiole judiciary of South Carolina hn rrbigyss penlded on tile meanimng of tile word' "ballot," and theo Supreme Court itself gave divided opinions on this - mooted point. Justice Willard held that tile term "joint ballot" thay be used inm a goneral sense, and he h1i"iitly" conflicting provisions of the Constitution. Judges laskell and MIolver held that a ballot means a'i4ce of.iaper, anld that a v*i a' voce vote wher6 a ballot, CYCn If it be a "joint ballot," is provided for, is in admissible. . Under this ruling the old judges, except Kershaw, were decapi tated. At the timo Tu: NEws AND i-:nAm) concurred with Justice Willard. Ii the past few days we have seen a striking inlstance of the careless use of the word by legrislative bodies, going to show t.iat whatever Worcester or Webster may say, modern Solons are not strict con structionists of the dictionary. It appears in the rules of the Senatorial caucus of the Missouri Democrats. The same legislators who make the rules of the caucus also make the -laws, and would use the word ballot in the sane sense in both instances. The ma jority of the committee on rules report ed the following, among others: "As called, each member shall rise, and shall declare his vote viva voce for one of the candidates in nominhia tion for United States Senator, anld the votes shall be recorded by the Secretary, an1id two tellers shall he appointed by the President and the result of the ballot shall be ainounced by the President, &c." The minority set of rules, while diflfriug in other respects, made the same use of the word "ballot." It provided: "The manner of voting shall be viva vore, and the response to the call of the niiame shall be delivered by the members standing. No nomination shall be in order after the balloting has begun, and after the tenth ballot tihe aididate receiving the lowest number of' votes shall be dropped, and so on, on each suceeeding ballot, until a nomination is made." After a heated debate the majority report was adopted, but the reporter continues, "amended, however, by providing that no new nominces be made after the tenth ballot. The caucus then adjourned till to-mnorrow evening, when it will proceed to bal lot for nominces." We perceive by thi.4, that, the poo plo of Missouri, legislators, reporters Senatorial aspirants and all, have never hcard -of the South Caroliia decisioi. It is fortunate, too, for General Shields and Colonel Vest, the newly elected Senators, that this looseiess of verbiage occirred in the caucus rules, instead of in the election itself; els6'soni 1 fu -morning they might have yaked up minus a seat in the great American Forum, and found themselves deprived of their daily allowance ofr Congressional soap and Senatorhil tooth picks. Of course, law is law, an( the term "ballot" has a definite signification horeafter in South Carolina. Still it is gratifying to have pL-roof of the cor rectness of ouri former' assertion that, in present usage, thle termi ballot has not its technical and original sigiiica tion, and that a riva vocc vote may1 he considered a "ballot" until decided otherwise by the courts.
