THE NEWS AND IERALD. WNNSiBORO, S. C. TMUESDAy. February 8. : : 1881. IR. M.XANB D918. EDITON. 1X0. S. 2ZYV.LDM AsWCIOITZ XDITQa. A Boomerang. Senator Wallce, of Peunsylvania, has Introduced .a constitutioli amend ment providing for the election of President by Congressional distilets instead-of by States. This is an effort to remedy the eves of the present sys lem, by which ton thousand votes in New York decided thirty-five electoral votes and the Presidential election. Strange to say, neither Senator Wal lace nor any one of the large number who regard his amendment as a solu 4on of the problem, appear to have ,discovered an obvions objection, and one of so serious a nature as to -utterly defeat the proposed ends. So long as the vote is cast by States, a certain lxed territorial limit exists, and will N exist as long as present Sate lines ;Ore not changed. But the division of each State into Congressional districts is left to the whim of the Legislatnre, and district lines may be altered every year. More than this, all of the North ern and many Soiuthern States are gCrrymandered ill the interest of the party in )wer in each State. Several years ago it required 1lity thousand Democratic maijority in New York, twenty thousand each in Ohio and Inl diana, ten thousand in New Jersey, and Senator Wallace alone knows how inany thousand in Pennsylvania, to secure an equal division of Congress men or members of the Legislature. At the last election New Jersey went for Hancock, and yet the Republicans elected a*mnajority of the Congiessmuen. This gerry.itandoriig would be still Inore flagna1i' were the Presidential election dependent upon it. Unless Senator Wallace can ilnd ia way of ab solitely fixing the territorial limit that shall be the unit, his anmendient will prove a first-class boomerang, result ing in a still greater advantage to the Republicans than ever. A Higher Motive. The Charlotte Observer reads a lec ture to Southern Congressmeu on their alleged want of independence, and adds: "It is this very spirit and these very men who have kept Kellogg in the Senate. No man knows better than Wade Hampton, for instance, that Kellogg is not entitled to a seat in Congress, unless it, be Kellogg hin self, and yet he declines to assert him self and incur the ill-will of a publi,; press whici has had sone agreeable things .to say about imii in the past. It * was not by such met'hods that South AIen Conuiresgmn wielded such powe~r Now, we have no means of knowing what motives promplt Senator Unmp 'toni to the course which be has taken * ~ in this matter, together withi such tuen as Bayard, Thurman and Lamar, but on general ,principles we feel bound to defend him from the charge .preireed by the Observer'. So perfectly satis factory a reason can ho .adduced for .his course, that to charge an imnproper * motive is unjust, if not ungencrous. Kellogg is a knave of the purest water, aud that he was not duily elected no * ~ one .dispuntee. That the Constit ution declares that the $enato is the judge of the qualification and elction of its memnbers, and under this p~rovision the Seniate has solemnly enacted that - Kellogg Is a duly elected Senator. Not only was lie admitted on a primza(face * title, but the committee on elections mnade-a rep~ort in his favor and the Senate took upi the ease on his merits and confirmned the title. Tjo hold that. the ease can be re-opened is to say that every Senator can be hauled up every * .day, and especially that the Senator from Louisiana shall be a shuttlecock betwveena the opposing factions. Pur sue this theory to its logical result. Unseat Kellogg between now and the 4th~ of March and seat a Democrat. Tfhen~ assume that David Davis and Mahono vote wvith the Riepublicanms after the 4th of March and F'arlev or Pendleton or Voorhees should die and be succeedied by a Rlepuqlican. Tfhis would ensure a Rtepuibiican majority which would re-instate Kellogg, andl substitute Corbin for Butler besid.. Thme bali once begun would keep on rolling, and no one could prophesy with certainty the compllexionl of th'e Senate a mon01th ill advance, all be cause of the p~reccdenlt that a Case after hzavin;.: beeni otnce dlecided upon its merits may be decided again. Agai, layes was no more e'l(eted( thani Kellogg. Yet Congress gave hmim a title. And( as long as ti.u Senate recognizes hia) es it. cannot but recog nize Kellogi. Thbis is dreadfuilly hard on Louisia n, but it is bet ter thait one State shoula utler than that a prece * dent be establishedl by whIch the will ofany' number of States may be sub verted. * Taking those things into considera * tion, we have no hesitancy in saving that the course of Seniator lamuptoni and others Is actuated, not, from fear, but from wvhat they believe to be good lawv and good policy. More "Southern Claims." A small claim of a hundr'ed and thirty-six dollars presentedl by thle wvidow of Lieutenant Page for pay due himi by the United States Government whein he resigned his comnmissioni and -einnteredl the Confederate serv ice, has lurnished material for another wrangle -in Congress about Uebel claimns and Southern rapacity. For once, there is . soe merit in the Iladical howls. A law exists on the statute book forfeit Ing all pay due to army oflicers wvho K .~enteredl tihe Confederateennymu, and we cannot see any impro prlety in it. Not withstanding this, Mrs. Page desired a special bill, and the Radicals claimed, with some justice for once, that it might be the entering wedge for all sorts of claims. During the wrangle, Mr. Chittenden, a bitter Radical but not a bad fellow, ol'red to pay the old lady's claim out of his own pocket, but Congressinan Goode averlted that it must be paid by the government or by nobody. Finally Sunset Cox joked the House ito passing the claim, What made the matter worse, a claim for another widow, whose husband re mained "loyal," has been left neglect ed by the Democratic House for two years. We do not see 'vhy the Democrats peroist Ii sueh foolishness. They hammer away at some miserable little claim, and even if they pass it, It costs them two or three Congressmen at the next election. Southern Claims is the .greatest bugbear of the Northern peo pie. It touches their pockets, and though they irtay become disgusted with sectional appeals about the flag .and the colored brother, they alwav jump on the Radical side of the fenco whein told that the South intends a raid upon the.treasury, It is all very well to talk about Southern indepondence and equal rights under the Constitution, and to rail at our prudent members about be ing weak in the knees, but thinking men should have discovered ero this that a.bluf' game doest't pay. The Rude hold the cards on .na and every bluf eunures to their advantage. The Democrats plucked up an everlasting amount of courage in the extra sos Sion, and butted their heads again st the stonewall with a foolhardiness that should have satisfied their most exact ing constituents. The result was that the Independent vote took a panic and fled bag and baggage into the Radical camps in 1880. Our representatives were not to blame. They were .pushed into the contest by clamorous coistituenits many of whom denounced them its a parcel of blockheads when the experi ment proved a failure. As TE Naws AND IIFRALD was Hot one of the clam orers, it feels io delicacy now in criti cising the mistake. There are issues, grave Issues, issues of right and honieANt y and justice, on which a party can well aiford to be beaten, but claims and petitions for money cannot be included in the cate gory. Democrats can well aflord to let them severaly alone. The widow Page, no doubt, sorely needed her hundred and thirty-six dollars, but other old ladies are in as needy cir cuivmstances as she can possibly he, an( the welfare of the party cannot be hazarded for her benefit. Even if the Radical demagogues in Coi ngress are crafty knaves, they have a large famnily oddheb-NL~ jtrw ng'ermito-g've Indiana, Connecticut and Newv York ,to Garfilid instead of Hancock. It is a matter, therefore, of m'egrect that Sout heru newspapers are still egginhg on Sothc.mu Congr'essmnen to imipra dent counsels. Let our Representa tives go oni quietly and peacef'ully un til they gamin the confidence of honest Indepenen's in thme North, and thlen they will secure that power which it is vain to expect from persistence in a game of blufY. BUSINESS MEN IN THIE SENATE.-One of' the noteworthy features of' the new Unit-ed States Senate, wh iich will meet in .March, is the nimisual nunmber of gent lemeni connected with iffiterent business Interests whio will f'ormn part of' its ine ubership. T.'weinty or thirty yersag a mecrchianit or a bauker rarely' sought, or, if lie songht, suc eeded in obtaining a seat in the Seni ate or H ouse of Iteprescntativ'es.

GREAT RATAIN AND TU BOERS. Sketch of the IUse and Progress of the Trans-Vast Republic, When Great Britain, In hert gust for empire, took possession of Cape Colo ny, 1in the southern extremity of Afi ca, she found a thrifty white popula tion, emigrants fi'om lollaid and their descendants, who had penetrated those unknown latitudes and planted prosperous coloiies. As the English become stronger these Dutch farmers or Boers, petletrated northward till they crossed the Vaal River, aid here settled. Each settler occupied several thousand acres of nland, and with his Ilocks mnd herds was a Jaw unto h1imii self. No organized government pre valled, and there was no one to en force the law had there been aniy to disobey. Several years ago a Dutch Reformed clergyman of great. eloquence and zeal, ilnmed Burgers, was called from Cape Colony to become president of tie Trans-Vaal Republic. Endeavoring to wvork out reforms, he found two factions were thereby created, the Progressists and the 'Reactionists. Trouble began by a refusal to pay a War tax, caused byi a quarrel with the nations, and then eveni the regular tax was resisted. Three presidential can didates come to the front-Burgers, for r'e-election, Krger anid Joubert. Still a fourith fiactiot desire( to iniport a pr'esident1 fromu1 Cape Colony. In this State of aimrchy England intervened with speious p)r0omises. The dianmond fields and gold Rminles in this part of the world rendered ainexation desira ble to the Blritish government. A half milliio Coff'res becaic troublesome on the borders, and beflore the Boers knew what they were.about they had agreed to annexation. Great Biritain thets acquired territory larger thatt France, without a drop of blood, and at the cost of a million dollars in bad debts of ile Republic. So mnattel's rested until a few weeks ago, when some delinquent taxpavere resisted arrest and put the British po lice to flight. With this as a pretext the Boers rose in arms and surround ed the British garrisons in the differ ent quarters before help could come from Cape Colony. This Is the ooidi tion i1ow. These6 garrisons are be leaguered, and a B3ritish force under Sir George Colley, the "Von Moltke" of Great Britain,sent to their relief has beet relulsed with heavy loss, and is himself on the defeiisive. If the garrisons surrellder, as they are now exlected to do, the Boors iIll be able to secure soie artillery, of which they now have noC at all. All accounts concur that the Boers are thoroughly armed and that the old men. women and preachers are urging themon into a desperate coniflict with the invaders. The Boers are hardv and active, expert marksmen and fine horsemen, and tle)' can muster-sevCeral thousand men. The conflict promises to be quite blooty unless Eigland re-inquislies h1erv pretemsions, its is demanded by a considerable portion of Parliamient whIio opplse these foreign alggressions. All ,>arties agree, however, that the garrisons must be succored and the rights of British citizens secured in any event.
