Ci'lltS. n\\\\\\ ACCEPTS. tii i: n k\\ senator's letter TO THE GOVERNOR. A Primary Asked For in Such a Letter as Might Havo Been Expected. Mr. Mel-aiirin filed his letter of acceptance with the Coventor! last Thursday, which is as follows : To 11 is Kxcellency, the 11 .1 \V. 11. KUerbe. (Jovernor of South | Carolina. Columbia, S. (J. : Dear Sir : Your notification of' my appointment to the senate of the I'nited States to till the va cancv caused by the sad death ol Senator Karle has been received.! The pride and pleasure at the re ceipt of such a distinjrtished hon or is saddened and sobered by ( tlie thought that our State has lost one who. to my mind, was the ideal representative of the culture, intelligence and refine-, inent of southern civilization. With a profound consciousness of the responsibilities involved and an honest determination to represent a> far as I am aide the i>?t irn J,. ,.t , I-..1 1 \#i wui iH'iwwu Slate. I accept your appointment. I desire, however, to nay that I holiovo that t nit<m1 States senator -hould he elected bv a vote of the people ; and as the Constitution debars us that privilege. I sincerely trust that the Item erratic exerut ive commit tee will, at its convenience, order a primary, and j^ive every hemocrati the chance of having a voice in the selection of one to till this.; the highestotlice in the^ilt ot tinpeople. If I am not selected, I will humbly acquiesce in the wishes of a majority of my fellow citi/t ns. If I am selected, I will have the consciousness ot knowing that I am in fact., truly the representing of tlie people?the j whole people of the Slate ot'i South ('arolina. It is peculiarlyl gratifying to me to roeicve this I appointment at your hands ; l?ut had not the exigencies ol the sit nation in the senate demanded the immediate appointment of one somewhat familiar with the ! situation, I would have requested you to hold the matter in abeyI ance until a primary election is 'ordered, which, I hope, tin; executive committee will see proper to do, and other candidates see lit to enter, or I shall at every mooting insist upon no one voting lor me merely because I have been appointed to the position. I resign an ollice but little inferior in dignity and honor. If 1 am to be continued in the | senate, I want it to be given me I in an ;election where every citizen, however humble he may be, lean have an opportunity to say I so at the ballot box. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to represent South 'Carolina in the senate chamber | of the I'nited States after a tree expression from the people themselves. Respect fully, tonx l. mcrai kin. ' The DiM/H'iisnrf/ Doirin'tl. The Vandercock liquor case has been decided by .1 udge Simontan against the State and Dispensary .The opinion was given out Monday morning, and the first heard of it in Lancaster was through a telegram from Marshal I. P. Hunter. The decision declares the dispensary law unconstitutional. The concluding paragraphs of the opinion are as follows : It is manifested therefore that the same conclusion must be reached with regard to the dispensary act of which was reached bv the supreme court of the United States, as to the act of lSf)5. that it is not within the scope and operation of the Wilson act. This being the case, the law laid down in Leisy vs. llurdin controls this case and the attempt to forbid the importation and sale of spirituous liquors in original packages must fail. The decision of tlio supreme court of the I nited States must control all circuit courts. By this decision it is clear that so long as the State herself engages in the business of importing and selling alcoholic liquors for the purposes of profit. So long as she recognizes that the use of alcoholic liquors as a beverage is lawful and can be encouragec.. So long a? she seeks a monopoly in supplying these liqours for that use, and in this way looks to an increase in her revenue, she cannot under her constitutional obligations to the other States of this Inian, forbid, control, hinder and burden commerce in such articles between their citizens and her own.
