WINNSBORO. S. C. TIYE5DAY, 11CIRuAny 11, ,1179. I. MICA NS DA VIS, }N.UITOI. ./No. 8. ILEYkOl,3. AssCIATK EDIToK. Verbatim. Reports. Comptroller John Kelly, of New York City, is the ;Grand Mogul of Tammany. Mayor'Cooper is the .head of the anti-Tamniany and Republican coalition. They are naturally not boon companions, and their ofcliiil Intercourse is quite guarded. A New York paper' tells the followting amus ing incident: At every meeting of the Board of Appointment, the mayor has em E,loved a stenographer to take ver batim reports of all proceedings, and particularly of what might 1e said in discussion by either His Honor or Comptroller Kelly. Yesterday the stonograpJier was present as uuual, and, with pencil in hand and note book on a table, he patiently awaited the continuation of the argument in reference to the'power of a depart m1ent to exceed its appropriation. When the mninutes, as corrected by the mayor, were adopted, and just as that. oflicial appeared to be about to resume tlethread of his discourse, which was broken off by the adjourn ment of the Board on the 27th nlt., the official stenographer employed in the comptroller's office entered the room and took a seat by Tax Com missioner Wheeler. Mayor Cooper tried to smile, Comptroller Kelly looked straight before him, and - the two stenographers exchanged glances ofrecognition. For a few moments the silence was oppressive. Then the mayor, instead of flnishing his re marks, gave--wayto the comptroller. who presentek ,report of certain benevolent inebit tions A short dis cussion took p1cele' en the mem bers of the Board present. Mayor Cooper appeared to be suf'erin g from a severe cold, and could scarcely talk above a whisper. Comptroller Kelly's stenographer *as unable to take down the mayor's words, and the stenogra pher in the employ of His Honor was in the same postion in regard to what. Mr. Kelly said. Everybody seemed to be relieved wheni a motion was made to adjourn. The Muddle About Senator Butler's Case. It is amusing to see how many papers set gravely to work to explain the disputed points in the South Carolina Senatorial election of 1876, and how each one blundere before it gets through its self-allotted task. Even the Augusta Ohronicle and Consfi ationalist, usually so thorough ly conversant with the matters of which it treats, makes a mistake. It says that the Legislature of South Carolina consists of one hundred and twenty-four members, and that Sena tor' iutler r'eceived sixty-five votes or more thani a majority. -Senator Butler' did not receive a majority of the Gener'al Assemnbly, but a majority of a quorum of that body. The Sen ate consisted,.at flhat time, of thirty three memnbers and the House of one hunudred and twenty-four, making a total of one lituiidi'ed and fifty-seven in the entire Assembly. At first, ex cluding eight ihembers froni Edge field and Ltirens, the Democrts had one hundredj and fifty-six memnber's and the Radicals one hundred and sixty, a qturuin of the Honse con aisting of AbI&tQhree. Reoedish, Westborry, Hamilton, iMyers, Bird, Gibson and Bridges left' the Mackey House and came over to the Demo crats, gi fig'the~ Wallace IIouse an undisputyd quorui of sixty-three members. Whdi'eupon the Edgefield and Lau ens rebrs, wvho had pre viously bpon .,seted oni a prima facic case, we e etdon their merits and become ft{ll members. The day that Senator. i was elected, seventy-nine in4d or a utajority of the General Assembly, cast their ballots, Butler receiving sixty-five votes, we believe, and the balance scattering. Senator Butler having received a majority of the.quorum of the General Assembly was declared elected. Corbin never did have a majority. Th'le Radicals, oblivious of thme constitution, declared that a majority of those members declared elected constituted a quorum and, claiimng thajonly .one hundred anid sixteen members had certificates, or' ganized *Ith- ifty-nine members, onie having already gone to the Demnocr'ats. Never having a quorum, the contest. ants whom they seated had no staind ing whiatcvor,.and the Riadical assem - bly wvas, f\'om first to last, a mere mob. Senator Butler was legally elected. Not, howevor, because he received a im'ajority of th& whole assembly, but because lie received a majority of the members voting and - constituting a quorum. 'That is all there i8 ini it. Senator Thurman's'Views. On a recent visit to Ohio, Senator Thurman was interviewed' by a re porter, and expre.sqa A' cfidenuce that the Demoorqte -will' &arry thiat State thia fall. Ika permpto.n.. do clines to liccome a gubernatorial can didate on the ground that. itfluetces in the East would be hostile, in order to cripple his future aspirations. In other words, other Democratic leaders would wish to see him defeated. Leaving these matters of porsonality and detail in politics, the Senator ox pressed his belief that hold action was what a party most needed to achieve success. "Anl aggressive policy wvould always comnnind respect, while. hesitancy or timidity would nearly always bring (lefeat with it. The Republicanh organization had1 never hesitated to take any responsibility to carry a ieasure, and this had en abled it to maintain its power for years, In spite of the distrust of the people, and in the face of its complete change from its former principles. On the other hand, a party that did nothing but object could not go before the country with the hope of making its objections stand as a policy. The people didn't like objectors, but they did admire a man or a set of men who were ready to enunciate aggressive) doctrines, and were willing to stand or fall by them, but most of all, fight for them. le helieved that the time was now past for the Democratic party to be regarded as a party of objectors. Ten years ago, when he first entered the Senate, there was little else for them to do ; but now it was diflferent. The light in the future would be an aggressive one, and be didn't fear the result." No truer words were ever spoken, and we are glad to hear so distiln guished and able a Demoeratic leader sound the keynote of a new campaign. When the Dlemocracy controlled only a few States, had but ten members in tho Senate and a handful of Congress men, it might well desire to act on the defensive. But now, with both Houses of Congress, a majority of the States, and a large majority of voters in the last Presidential election, it ought to have sonic policy of its own and to push that policy vigorously and aggressively, in Congress and out of Congress, in the press, on the hustings, everyw here, it ought to go right after the 1;hdicals, fighting them with their own wtapons. It should have three fundamental principles, constitutional government., home rule and good imoney, and all other issues should be pooled. Another departure it should take at once should be the enactment of a law declaring that Congress shall never again entertain any petition for payment of a war claim, and abolishing the existing "court of claims. The average North erni maln carries his heart, in his purse, .ud the sole fear lie lias of Demo 'ratic supremacy is that it will result in a "rebel raid" on the treasury. As no) true Confederate will ever get a cent ofi monmy in this way, and 1n0 one diown here deCsires to have bummers ando sneaks enriched at the p)ubliCcex pense, the South should preCss thte bill herself. Subsidies should not be asked for either, at the present time, so that no foundat.ion may exist for the cry that Southern Demnoerats arc for "the old flag" only to get an appro p)riationl. By clearing away all this rubbish, -mnd taking the aggressive, the Democrats can capture the entire government in a few years.4 N1MWB OFf TIIE.D AY.
