Columbia boasts of several llug wumps since the city election. Mr. J. H. Lesesne has assumed cdi torial charge of the Clarendon Enter- 1 prise. We welcome him into the ranks. Hon. Roseoe ('onkling is seriously ill at his home in New York and is not expected to recover. He bas not been well since his experience in the blizzard in New York. About $17,0(0),0(0 are involved 'n the t direct tax bill, most of which, if the . bill passes. will go to the Northern I States. Most of the cotton tax, if that bill should pass, would come to the c South. The State Executive Committee met in Columbia last week and issued a t call for a State Convention to be held in c Columbia 17th May and recommended t that the nomination of a State ticket t be postponed to a later date. Mr. Clemson, the son-in-law of John C. Calhoun, who died a few days ago at Fort Hill, the Calhoun homestead, is said to have left it with a large endow mlent to the State for agricultural and educational purposes. The Herald and News acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to attend the Citizens' Gala Week in Anderson .une 12, 13 and 14, ISSS. Anderson t proposes to have a big thing during the Gala Week. We hope to be able to at tend.f Mr. S. S. Cox has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives to in crease the pay of railway postal clerks. The act fixes the salary of these ofi cials. It will place theni on a surer ba sis, and in so doing will gi'e the public better service. The new ('harleston dlaily, The WXorld, is to be capitalized anid at joint stock comipany formed, andl it is saidl, Hon. W. A. Courtney is to be made editor. This will place it on a sure finan cial basis. Charleston needs two morn ing dailics. In fact we believe it is the1 t-isize in the world, where * newspapers are published, that had for * so long a time only one daily. The World no doubt will succeed1. We publish this week a letter from ( Senator Butler oii the immigration1 question. He thinks the railroads can aid materially in the bringing of a first 1; class set of immigrants to South Caro lina. We agree with Senator Butler in one thing, and that is, if we are to have immigrants come here, we want goode substantial citizens who have money to invest in our lands, and by thus in vesting become permnanenit citizens. We do not want here a lot af paupers whor have nothing and do not care to have anything. ABOUT PENSIONS. The Pension Board iiet yesterday and examined sixty-two applications for pensions, approving fifty-two and re- I jecting ten. 'l his makes 1,287 examined to date, of which 877 have becn approvt-a ed and 410 rejected. No more applica tions wvill be examined, for the present at least, as it is thought that with those1 app)lications onc~e rejected but likely to be returned in proper shape, so that they will be app roved, the whole numt ber'allowved wi 1 reach the limit possi- ( ble to be carried this year under the r appropriation.--Columbia Register, 6th. This pension business is growing to be a bigger thing than our legislators e seem to have anticipated. There can t be no doubt that in sonme cases the pen-~ sion law will work good andl relieve r, some who are really dleserving and need( assistance, but we suspect there are some who apply who do not really need this assistance fronm the government. But since the matter has been under taken by the government the appropria tion will have to be made large enough to meet the requirements, it will not - do to give to sonme and not to others r who are equally deserving.t There will be little trouble about the surplus in the State Treasury now.i THEs.1RPLUs5. The surplus in the treasury of the t United States sem to be a perplexing aI question for our statesmen. Numerous I ills and schemes are brought forward2 miaking big appropriations which woulda never be thought of if it were not for $ this big surplus. There has beeni a deadlock in thme House on the quest ion of refunding the direct tax. The friends of tariff reduction o~pose it on the t ground that it will be impossible to se cure any tariffreduction if the bill pass es.:And then if the direct tax is refund- s --~4the cotton tax also should be refund ed andl most of the cottoni tax mmoneyv would conie to the South. The New~ York Herald objects to refunding these taxes oni the ground that the money will go to the States and will not put any in the pockets of I the poor~ men. The Herald thinks thei~ whole business of refunding taxes is erudIe ando iionsensical. and inasmuch L as ('ongress seems determined to divide the surplus it "mught to be done in a popualar and1( p)roper way," and the t Herald suggests as the~ most popular way the ad4.Odtioni of the plan of the Chlicagzo I.imme Kiln Clubi. The follow- 'j igis the plant:t The c'hairmnan of the ('ommnittee on Finance expressed his readiness to re oort on the inquiry. "H-ow shallwe use the surplus in the Treasury?" and re >orted as follows: "1. (hin ebery tin11 de kemtry a I ruillvon dollars to spend in fiah works. " . Buy fo millyon bushels of peanuts in distribute em free to all. "3. Hey hoss races an prize fights ; mee a week, wid admishun free. "4. Distribute Waterbury watches an roller skates free to all, an doan charge nobody nuffin for lemonade." There is much polities in this action >f the club, and when we consider the 'nany schemes brought before Congress :o rid the country of the surplus it would seem the main object is to spend he surplus. The Board of Medical Examiners, t vhich recently met at Columbia, have, n our judgment, transcended their owers in examining physicians who ire citizens of South Carolina. Sub-section 4 of Section 919 of the ieneral Statutes says "a person com ng into the State" shall exhibit his [)iploma to the Board, and if, on in :pecting the same, the Board is satis ied that they shall give him a certiti ute to register his Diploma, but if not ,atisfied that they may examine him. t I'his applies to non-residents and does t zot apply to one who has gone beyond he State for his medical education and as not thereby lost his citizenship. And even-with those coming in, it is 1 >nly intended that the examination ;hall take place when the diploma is rroni a doubtful college or the holder is ;upposed to be in improper possession >f the sanme. The graduates of the 1 harleston College are exempted simply 1 )eeause it is an Institution within he State whose graduates from other iates wishing to settle here after grad cation are easily identilfed. To put any other construction on this 'xemnption would be to suppose that he institution wished to force South ;arolinians to patronize that college, mld in addition would look like protec ion.. It can hardly be said that a grad tate of New York, Philadelphia or Bal imore Colleges is not at least the 1uals of those of the Charleston Col ege, THE STATE CONVENTION. To Meet in Columbia on May 17th. [From the Register, 7th.] The State Democratic Executive onmnittee met at 8 o'clock last night n the directors' room of the Carolina cational Bank. As a result of thre ours' session it was decided that the tate Convention to elect delegates to he National Convention be held at olunmbia on May 17th, and a resolu ion was adopted recommending that andidates for State officers be not voted or at this convention.

THE QU'EsTION OF THE PLACE there the State Convention should be eld excited some discussion, and upon ,vote being taken to ascertain the sense *f the meeting, three voted for Char ston, three for Greenville and eight or Columibia. The latter place was ae ordingly decided upon as the p)lace for tolding the convention. Captain Daiwson voted in favor of 1 sreenville, but, as will be seen, was iot on the side of the majority. The time for the convention was fix d as Thursday, the 17th of MIay inext.

Senator Butler takes a lively interest n immigration and expects to attend he Hot Springs Convention ')i April 5. The following letter to the depart nent of agriculture is full of sound and )ractical suggest ions WVAsmlIN-rox, D). ('., Feb. _':_, 1ss. Mr. L. A. Rtansoini, Columnbia, S. C. -M Dear Sir : Your letter of the 20th nst." is just received. You ask ilt' "to tnswer briefly tlie followin;g ques ionis:" "Do you favor the adoption of any chemie of nin1nigratioll by the State >f Sout h Caro lina 7" "If so, what steps do you advise hould be taken to attract capital and mintigration to the State ?' To the first I answer yes. The 'schemec," as I understand it, has al eady been adopted in the orgaliza ion of the delartinllet of agriculture. L'he details can be carried out by an ilequate appropriation of money. In1 reply to your secur d inqcuiry I vill say th.t it is only necessary for he department of Agriculture to eon inue in the future what it has so etli iently and energetically done inl the >ast, ~make known iiin every particular nalnner to the outside world the re ources and advantages of South Caro ila, her attractions as a home for thrif y, industrious people, and the oppor unities she otirs for safe and c"olser ative investnents. The railroad copil ansies d.inmg busi ess in the State cal aid very nIa erially in inducing illimlia,ratiol, if hety would pay somile attention to the ocal settkeent and deVelopient of t lie -ountry along their respective lines. Some ytears ago Isuggested a plan to he then managers or some of the priin -ipal of them, of tIe Iticlilihmon(l and )antville system. by which every agent Lt every station could have biee iaet 1n iminigratioll agent. I prepared a eries of questions of which the fol owing are ex:nnples : "What is the latitude and longitude if the stations or depots of which you ire the railroad agent ?'" "'hat is the annual Imtean tetnlera ure and rainfall ?"' "Iii what county and State is your tation and of what railroad conm >anv ?" "What is the nearest market town'."' "What is the time and distance by ail from your stationi to NewV York, ineinnati, New Orleans and Charles on ?"~ "What is the c"haracttr of the land vithin a radius of five miles from your tation ?" "What are the chief agricultural pro lucts within that distance :'"' "What is the price of cattle, sheep, iorses, &c., and the leading articles of xd(?" "Are there any lands for sale? If o, what is the average cash and time >rice'.' "What is the price of building nia erials, lumber, bricks, lime, nails, hingles, doors, sashes, and blinds? "What is the price of labor, common nd skilled ?" "Is the country rolling or level ?" "Is the country well watered and rained ?"' "Is the health of the country good. lat is the nature of the sickness of tour neighborhood '" "What are the school(l anid churt'h "W'~hat rock q1uarries, minerals, water >OWr, and maniiufacturing estal ish inents are in y'our neighlborhooxd '" I suggested( that these qutestionis or >thers of a similar character he printed vith blanks for answers, and placed in he hands of a railroad agent at ev'ery tation for answers, and re'printted with ie answvers, and agreed if this should e done to go miyself into New England nd othier Northern States and make canvass during rec'esses of the Senate mong the farmers antd peopl1e general v and dlistribute the informlation thus btaied. It occurrted to ine that the agents niht do this without mucht'l trouble nl with trifling expense to the rail ods, and with such accurate and full nformat ion shiowi ng the great attrae ions in the State for honies and( profit ble investnments. American farmers Lfnd mlechaies and maniufacturers with apital might be induced to becomie andowners andl make permannenlt stet lenents among us. I thiink it can lbe done now, if the ailroads will lend a htelping hand, as I ave suggested, and miake t'ht'ap rates or the immnigranits.

[Baltimore Sun.] One of the most remarkable feasts in engineering is the removal, now in progress, of the Brighton Beach Hotel, on Coney Island. For some years past the sea had been steadily encroaching on the land in front of the hotel until by the heavy storms last fall the shore was so entirely eaten away that the piles on which the hotel was built were exp osed, and doubt wa: expressed as to whether the huge building would sur vive the winter. How to secure it from wreck, if that were possible, and to move it bodily inland a distance of five hundred feet from its present site was the prollen to be solved. A contractor was found who, for the sum of twenty thousand dollars, undertook the work of removal. The building is four hun dred and sixty feet long, with an aver age depth of one hundred and seventy feet. Its estimated weight is five thous and tons, or ten millions of pounds, If it had been a compact mass, covering a comparatively small area, thework of re inoval, with the engineering appliances of the day, would have been an ordi nary undertaking; but spread as it was over a surface of four hundred and sixty feet, cut up in the interior into a multi tude of compartments, and rising to the height of three and a half stories, exclusive of five towers, in which the building is carried a story higher, the difficulties of moving it intact to the new site on which it is to stand will be readily coniprehended. The first thing that was done preparatory to removal was to raise the entire structure in the air by a series of jackscrews, and when a sufficient height was attained to lay beieath the building twenty-four rail road traicks, having on theni one hun drl and twelve pl:atfori ears. When this was done the jackscrews were set to work again at lowering the building until it rested on the flat surfaces of the ears. This having been successfully ac coiplislied, the question then arose as to the way in which the building could be moved to its new site with perfect regularity of motion and evenness in all its parts. The plan adopted was to place six locomotives ninety feet apart on the rails connecting outside with the track under the building, in two sets of three each. From these two sets of locomotives, placed in front of each other, and each set carrying one-half of the hotel, two radiating lines of cable, spread out in the form of a fat, were carried to every other platform car bearing the building, and returned thence to iimiense pulley blocks an chored to the rails in the open and weighted down. The work of the loco motives was not to draw the twenty four ears bearing the hotel, as it were, bodily, but to bring all their strain upon the blocks and tackles which were, so to speak, the moving power. It is obvious that spread out as these ca bles were in the form of a fan, they were of uneven length, and the doubt expressed by engineers who were on the ground watching the operations was as to the effect of the strain of the pull on ropes of different lengths. It is plain, it was said, that a rope run ing directly from the centre of the building to the locomotives iiust be un der less tendency to stretch than one running fron a remote corner. An un eqlual stretching of the ropes would in evitably tend to pull the middle of the hotel faster than the ends, and thus bring danger of a collapse. This dan ger was obviated b)y short hauls and shifting the tackle. There was also danger thmat the pull of the locomotives would not be simultaneous, or that the ears bearing the main towers would break dowvn from over-weight, but nothinig of the kind occurred onl Tues day. The entire building was moved back steadlily, and on an even line, one hundred and fourteen feet without starting a fastening, bulging a corner or losing a piece of plastering, and if the rest of the journey to the rear be as successful it will be another triumph of A merican engineering. State Board of Medieal Exainers. [Columbia Register, April 11.] The State Board of Medical Exami ners mtet in this city yesterday, assem bling at 4 P. M. in the Supreme Court library at the State House. The Presi lent,'D)r A N Talley, p)resided, and Dr J C Willcox, of Diarlington, the See retary, was present and attended to his duties. The other memb,ers present were: D)r S N Orr, of Anderson, Dr C R Tabor, of Fort Motte, and Dr T Grange Sinmons of Charleston. A comumunication was read from Judge Simionton stating his construc tiolof the Act in relation to the exam ination of app)licants for licenses. He hleldl that the Board had not tile right t o require graduates from institutions in tis State to stand( an examination, but in such cases could only examine their dil)omalis anid licenise the a!inlicants, if their dliplo)mas were found correct, onl payment of the proper fee, $5. This, hoever, he so far modified as to say the Board couldi require an examination in anyu ease where it was absolutely satis fiei of the comle)ite professionatl igno rance of the person~ aplying. A fter the discussion of several letters relating to tihe matter, the Board de terminedl to exanmine all applicants who may have gradluated fronm any institu tion without the State. The following applicanits wvere ex amined yesterday and licensed: D)r Chiarles C Johnson, Columbia, Howard University, Washington, D). C. Dr Frederick Lee Sanders, Orange burg, Georgia Medical College. Tile following are all graduates of the South Carolina Medical College: Dr S Wayne Gamble, Charleston; Dr John S Folk, Charleston; Dr John C Buchan an, Winnsboro; Dr A 0 Hayden, Charleston; Dr. Oscar Missildine, Charleston. Others who had applied to be exam ined and had sent in their diplomas failing to appear, could not be exami ined, but will have to he hereafter in accordance wvith the law. At the mueeting of the Board, March 15th, D)r. .J. R. Hopkins, of Hopkins Turnout, was licensed. His name is now given, having previously been in advertently omitted from the published proceedings of the session of the Board at that time. The Good Work Accomphahed for the Farmers. (oLormIta, A pril 6.-The new Stt board of agriculture, orgaInized on the 1st oIf January, has (done much work. The fertilizer inspectors have visited seventy towns and sent to tile conm mnissiolers :60 samples of fertilizers, and phosphates, kainits, cotton seedl meals, chemicals, etc. The special assistant has supervised the phosphIlatic territo)ry, anl his reports show that tile State wvill receive a royalty (of ab)out $33,000), on tle rock removedl. Patrols have been employed at GeorgetownI, and on tile Ehisto river to p)revent illegal fishing. The veterinary surgeon has visited several localities to inspect farm stock and prescribed methods for the sup pressionl of contagious diseases, and for the cure of diseased animals. The weather service has established several new stations of observation, from which regular monthly reports are received, and has collected a vast amount of useful information relating to the eli mate, etc., of the State, sent out warn ings of the approach of cold waves, storms and floods, and daily weather idicat ions. The commfissioner has ~ol lctcd the tax on over 120,000 tons of fertilizer, has issued 15,000 monthly re ports, containinlg matters of interest to farmers and others, and published 5,000J Pamhlets descriptive of the resources and a(IYilIIt:uitcs of the State. A YOUTHFUL MURDERER. Laney Walker, Aged Nine Years, Kills Lib by Ashe, Aged Twelve Years, at Union. [Special to Register.] UNION, S. C., April 10.-On Saturday last a little negro boy named Laney Walker, about nine years old, stabbed and killed a negro girl named Libby Ashe, about twelve years old, on one of A. A. Sarratt's places in the upper part of the county. The little girl was with a negro woman at a spring washing clothes, when Laney came about, whit tling on a stick with a pocket knife. They got into a dispute, and after ex changing a few words, threw rocks at each other, then clinched and scuffled a little while, when the girl broke loose and ran over a hill. The boy ran after her, and with one blow of his knife killed her. The stroke was given in front, and ranging downwards, laid open her body. The youthful murderer is now in jail. The Liability of Trustees to Road and Jury Duty. [Greenville News, April 11.] A disagreement having arisen be tween the County Commissioners and the School Commissioner as to the liability of school trustees to road and jury duty, the question was carried be fore Judge Norton on Monday, on the application of James T. Campbell to be excused from jury service on theground that he was a trustee. The County Board had held that the trustees were not exempted by the law, and the School Commissioner had held that they were. Commissioner Mayfield argued the question before the Judge, who sus tained his decision, deciding that school trustees are excnipted from both road and jury duty. Newspapers in 1888. From the edition of Geo. P. Rowell & Co's "American Newspaper Direc tory," published April 2nd (its twenti eth year), it appears that the Newspa pers and Periodicals of all kinds issued in the United States and Canada, now number 16,310, showing a gain of S9) during the last 12 niontls and 7,136 in 10 years. The publishers of the Directory assert that the impression that when the pro prietor of a newspaper undertakes to state what has been his exact circula tion, he does not generally tell the truth is an erroneous one: and they conspic uously offer a reward of $100 for every instance in their book for this year, where it can be shown that the detailed report received from a publisher was untrue. Sale of South Carolina Bonds. COLMBIA, S. C., April 6.-The re cent legislature authorized the issue of four hundred thousand dollar four and a half per cent bonds, to take the place of the six per cent bonds, the terms of which expires this year. The holders of the old bonds were allowed until to day to exchange for new bonds. Eigh ty-eiht thousand dollars of six per cent >onds were exchanged for the four and a half per cent, leaving $312,000 new bonds to be taken up by outsiders. They will be advertised in this State, New York and London. The state treasurer intimates that they will con mand a premium of six per cent within three years. The financial condition of the state is excellent. Bialue'si Return from Europe. It is said Mr. Blaine proposes sailing for home on June 16, three day before the meeting of the Chicago convention. It is hinted that this is for the purpose of shutting offall communication with him during the sessions of the conven tion. Then if he is nominated his friends will get back to New York in time to give hinm such a reception as will be unprecedented, and manufac ture such a supply of enthusiasm as will carry himi far along in the cami paign. A New Textile. [Fromn the News and Courier.] Mr. Michael Werts, of Silver Street, Newberry County, having discovered that the fibre of the ordinary pea vine possessed unusual strength, sent a sup ply of it to the State department of agriculture. Commissioner Butler has forwarded the sampie to Commissioner Coleman of the national department, to be examined and tested. If the fibre has textile strength sufficient to permit its taking the place of other fibres more expensive to produce, it will work a revolution in the South, and add to the already great industrial value of the pea~ crop. A New Industry for the South. NEW YORK, April .-A syndicate, including several Georgia capitalists, has secured tihe exclusive right for the southern states of the Thomipkins pro ess for reducing vegetable tibres to pa per stock, with the intention of estab lishing mills in the cotton states and applying the process to the reduction to paper of cotton stalks and seed hulls, now practically worthless. Promioters of the enterprise claim that they can make good nlewspaper at two cents per pound anid consequently the establish ing of their mills will be as great an event in the economical history of the south as the establishing of the cotton seed industry.

A Son of Governor Porter, of Tennessee, Mortally Wounded. NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 7.-A spe cial to the American says that Kennedy Porter, was shot and probably fatally wounded here Thursday night about 11 o'clock by Will Edmunds. The origin of the difficulty is supposed to be the attentions of young Porter to Edmund's sister, which the latter objected to and had frequently threatened to kill him if he did not desist. Porter had been out driving with Edmunds's sister that night and had returned the team to the stable and started up Depot street to wards the square when he met Ed munds about the Blanton house, who told him that he was going to kill him and for him to defend himself. Ed munds then fired, the ball, a 38-calibre, striking Porter in the left breast just below the collar bone, ranging down wards. On hearing the threat, Porter drew his pistol, but too late. Porter now lies in a precarious condition. The wounl has not as yet been probed. There were no eye-witnesses to the shooting. A SIG IIER.--Why is a lover like his father? Because he is sigher (sire.)
