President Harrison's inaugural ss is a good paper, well put to Ph., and adhering to the principles b party, but not partizan in word P* are unable to get even an ab-. ; of the address in this issue. Of southern question he says: ave altogether rejected the sugges bOf a specIal executive policy for '~cton of our country. It is the o7f the Executive to administer tenforce, in the methods and by the trumentalities pointed out and pro cd ty the Constitution, all laws en dby Congress. These laws are gen nend the administration should the temi and equal. As a citizen may ect what laws he will obey, t may the Executive elect which enforce.. duty to obev and to execute em ~the Constitution in its entirety, whole code of laws enacted un e The evil example of permiting I nals, corporations -or comimumi nullify the laws because they 'e selfish or local interests, or u:-s is full of dange not only'to the natl i P=- c1L"E01'Oe~ those who use periciousexpedient to escape jrst cbl*gatqons, or to obtain an unjust advantage over others. They will presentily the'uselves be compelled to appeal to the law for protection, and those who would use the law as defence must not deny that use of it to others. - It is refreshing to know that the South will be treated as part of the Union, and that there will be no dis tinctive separate policy for any sec tion. He does not think the surplus in the treasury by any means the greatest evil. He thinks it is possible to effect a reduction in our revenues without breaking down our protective tariff or seriously injuring domestic industries. Of his appointments to office he says: * * * A high sense of duty and ambi tion to improve the service should char acterize all public officers. There are many ways in which convenience and comfort of those who hove business with;our public offices may be prompted by a thoughtful and obliging officer, and I shall expect those whom I may appoint to justify their selection by a conspicuous efficiency in the discharge of their duties. ' Honorable party service will certain ly not be estimated by me a disqualili cation for public office, but it will, in no. case, be allowed to serve as a shield for official negligeace,. incompetency or delinquency. * * * I shall need, -and the heads of departments will need, time for inqui ry and deliberation. Persistent impor tunity will not, therefore; be the best support of applications for office. kHeads of departments, bureaus and all other public officers having any duty connected therewith will be ex pected to enforce the civil service law fully and without evasion. "We shall not, however, I am sure, be able to put our civil service upon a non-artisan basis ,until we have se cu an incumbency that Nir-minded men of the opposition will approve for impartiality and integrity. As the number of such on the civil list is in creased, the removals from office will diminish." Of the ballot and of Congress assum ing control of elections the address says: "The National Congress has not as yet taken control of elections in those cases over which the Constitution gives it jurisdiction, but has accepted and adopted the election laws of the several States and provided penalties for their violation and a method of supervision. Only the ineffieiency of the State laws or unfair or partisan administration of them could suggest a departure from this policy. It was clearly, however, in contemplation of the framers of the Constituton that such exigency might arise, and provision was wisely made for it. The freedom of the ballot is the con dition of our national life; and no power vested in Congres% or in.the Executive, to secure or perpetuate it should remain unused upon any occasion. The people of all the congressional districts have an equal interest that the election in each case shall truly express the views and wishes of the majority of the qualified electors residing within it. The results of such elections are not local, and the insistence of electors residing in other districts that they shall be pure and free does not savor at all of imperti nence. If, in any of the States, the paibEc security is thought to be threat ened by ignorance among the electors, the obvious remedy is education. The sympathy and help of our people will not be withheld from any community st,uggling with special embarrassment or difficulties connected with the suf frage, if the remedies proposed proceed upon lawful liaes and are promised by just and honorable methods. How shall those who practice election frauds re cover that respect for the sanctity of the ballot which is the first condition and obligation of good citizenship ? The man who has come to regard the ballot box as a jugglei's hat has renounced his allegiance." He favors an increase of pensions to Union soldiers, and in this way he will be able to reduce the surplus very readily. Of immigration we should not cease to be hospitable, but we should cease to. be careless as to the character of it. Altogether we take it that the ad dress is a fair, manly, and a paper well put togeth~er; and we believe Mr. Har rison will be President, and his aim will be to conciliate and to give us a fair and just administration.. At least we hope he will rise above party and be President of the whole people. Senator Vance's G lass Eye. [Special to the News and Courier.] WAsB ING ToN, March l.-Duiing the rece it debate on the taruif bill Senator Vance of Noith Corolina. took an ac tive padt, and was i.;eless in his pie sentation of statistics. One evening he was troubled somrewhat with defect ive vision in his left eye, and the follow ing mo;ning, as its condition had not im proved, he consulted an oculist. The latter advised him to cease wort, othe.: wise he woc.ld not be Jesponasible 2or tbe results, but the Senaioc laughed at the idea of danger arid peisisted in straining his eve with lo'g columns of figures. With the concIusion of the tariff talk he was forced to retire to his rn, and the end' came yesterday, when it was found necessary to remove the left eye to save the other. When th .s determination was reach ed, Senat or Vance ananounced his willingness to have tfle opeiion per formed at once, and request the oculist to end his misery as speedily i's possible. "Acco:diagly," said the 'Se r ator', 'I was prostrated on a lounge and placed under the influence of ether. When I awoke I wa minus an eye, and sow I am a buliy boy with a glass eye. I bought the new eye to-day and no one~ has been able to detect any difference." THEY BELIRvE IT.

Williams, I editor of the Greenville News, died at her homne in this city this morning at half-past 3 o'clock. Mrs. Williams wasi formerly Miss Mamie Bryce, of Colum-! ba, and was a lady of most amiable qualities. Coming to Greenville as a bride she gained the friendship of all: her acquaintances and the grief at her death is general and sincere. She leaves two ema~ c h ildrn. It will Operate its own Line-Work to be Commenced on the Augusta Division in Thirty Days. LCondensed fiom News and Ccurier.] Col. R. A. Johnson, general manager of the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chi cago Railroad, who has been in the city several days on important business in connection with the railroad, left here yesterday afternoon for Columbia. Be fore he left Col. Johnson was enter viewed by a reporter for The News and Courier, In answer to an inquiry as to the nature of his visit to Charleston he said: "I am here to arrange for the with drawal of the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chiengo Railroad from its being operated by the South Carolina Rail way. It is my purpose to organize an accounting and auditing department of our own and I shall proceed to es tablish some shops at once, at least as soon as practicable. We have now one hundred and fifty miles of new road in operation and we intend to operate it as a distinct road." "Are you at liberty to state, Colonel, what has led you to take this step?" "Well, I have contemplated the change for some time. The wretched condition of the Camden branch forces me to refuse to allow our new locomo tives and passenger coaches to run over it; and then, the anomalous condition of the South Carolina Railway Com pany-what its future is to be-leads me to take this course. Other terminal facilities are offered me, which I am considering, and I shall get ready and either build direct into Charleston or make other safe terminal arrangements as may appear best for our company." "You spoke of some new cars-do you propose to put any new cars on the Three C's Road at an early date?" "I have a full train of eight cars from the Jackson & Sharpe works at Wil mington, Del, which will arrive in Columbia to-morrow. These will be put in use at once and be a great addi tien to the road. What are we doing now on our new construction? -Well, we have just entered into a contract for about 250 miles of new road. This will make the line from Rutherfordton to the Ohio River. We specify from line to line which sections of the 250 miles shall be contracted first. The contract is with McDonald, Shea & Co, ofKnox ville, Tenn., who are regarded as reliable contractors. The first section which they build will be ninety miles, between the coal and new town of Minneapolis in Virginia to one connection with the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad. This is to be completed under one contract in ten months after they begin the work. They have already a force of hands at work on the banks of the Sandy River, on the Virginia and Kentuckyv State line and in Unicol County, Tennessee. They have now arranged to let loose about seven thous and faborers on the line. They are 'rustlers' and they have plenty of means to do the work as agreed, and they have the reputation of never having failed on a contract. We mean to have coal from our own coal beds ready to deliver in this State within one year. - "W \Then will we put a force on the Augusta' division, which will run through Union? Well, within the next thirty days we will put a large forch of hands on this division and we will push the work through at once." "When the. Three C's Railroad is operated apart from the South Caro lina Railway, where will you make your transfers of passengers and freight?" "Ait Camden," replied Col. Johnson, "Our new pa.ssenger cars and locomo tives will remain altogether on our own tracks. We -have the best railroad and t-ack in the State and we intend to build through to the Ohio River in the same first-class manner.." "In your opinion Col. Johnson, what will eventually become of the South Carolina Railway?" "That I do njot know," replied Col. Johnson, "but I do know that whoever takes it must be prepared to spend at least $50,000 upon the road equipment and terminals before it can do any busi ness economically. There is a fioating debt of a little less than $600,000 and the second mortgage of $1,500,003 in default, and the securities are owned by parties who have only onei nterest, and that is to get all they can out of the road." "Can you give any definite idea as to when you shall decide about your terminals?" "As I have already said," replied Co!. Johnson, "we have a nice little road now, and Ishall push it to a connection with the coal regions as rapidly as mo ney will do it. This will give us a large variety of freight in addition to the coal, and meanwhile I shall be deciding upon our Southern terminal. On over four hundred miles of our road, in Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina there is business await ing its completion which to-day would seriously taxc a single track road to carry." "Will the withdrawal of your road from the South Carolina Railway work of any injury to the business interests of Charleston?" "I do not see that there" will be any change in that particular in any re spect. It goes without saying that itis our purpose to ,do all the good we can for Charleston." COL. AVERILL'S SUCCEsSOR A s superintendent of the Three C's, has been appointed. The following cir cular will be issued in a day or two: Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad Company, office of the Gen eral Manager, 45 Broadway, NewYork, March 4, 1&89: Jobu F.

Whe Negroes Driting to a Land of Drowsy Do-Nothing. [From the Atlanta Constitution.] The negboes will never emigrate in wholesale numbers to a very distant region.

The Columbia corre spondent -f The News and Courier called on 'm this morning at the resi dence of L :s son-in-law, Adjt. Gen. Bonham, to inquire if he had anything to say in reference to the recent person al attack of a newspaper unfriendly to him which had been republished in the Columbia Register, and to ascertain what foundation there was for the re port that he intended resigning his seat on the Bench. The Judge was looking as well as he has done for years, although he was suffering from the effects of a fall seve ral months ago, caused by a misstep while descending the steps of a hotel in Sumter. Replying to the inquiry as to his reported resignation, Judge Aldrich said that immediately after his re election three years ago he bad told the members of his family that he would not again be a candidate for the Bench and that he had since informed various friends of his determination. This was tho'oughly understood, he thought, by the gentlemen who would be candidates for the position upon his retirement. He was now 74 years old, and did not find it pleasant to spend so much time away from home. He had never, however, entertained or expressed the intention of resigning his office. His term would not last a year longer, and he felt able to perform his duties until the close of that period. The Legislature next December would choose his successor. Judge Aldrich referred with some amusement to the reportsof his inabi lity to transact the business which came before him. He had not recently, he said, lost an hour out of Court, and thought that in the dispatch of busi ness he had been maintaining his previous record. In the course of further conversation Judge Aldrich said that some of his friends had asked him what course he intended to take in reference to the accusations brought against him by one or two newspaers, to the effect that he had taken too much to drink at the Sumter Court, and that he had replied that, holding the office which he did, and having the life record, which he possessed, he was -willing to let these charges go to the people for what they were worth, and let them judge, with their knowledge of the oharscters of accusers and accused. He was unable to conceive of any founda tion for these stories except that it was his habit, about 1 o'clock in the day, to take a recess of about five minutes for the purpose of taking a luncheon, which as was customary, included a zlass of toddy. He held his sessions f.om 10 a. m., to 4 p. m., and he found that he worked better when he broke this long period of fasting. He had taken this refreshment in Sumter as he had done in Charleston and other places, without concealment. He sup posed that his taking a toddy had shocked some total abstainer. As has been stated Judge Aldrich is looking very well and is in perfect possession of his faculties. No one can see him without being assuied that the reports as to his condition are slan de: ous. ,N. G. G. A SUNATOB IN DISGRACE. Elddleberger Dran1c on the Floor of the Chamber-Car/ed Ouit by a Erely Depu y se.ant-a:-Arms. WAsHINGTON. March 3.-Swaying to and fro in a beasd.y si,ate of intoxiea tion, Senator Riddlebe ger, of VU ginia, made a most unseemly ezhibi bition this even:og in 'the Senate chamber before an audience compiosed of people from eveiy tart oci,ae Union. He had been very bli~ter a'( day against the presiding ohicer for re os'ag to recognize him to make a motlon to go into executive session, and he anooanc ed his intention to object to evey bill offerea.

DespRe the effb:t of Senator Dawes and others to induce him to desist, his coiduct became so unbearable that the seargeant-at-a--.ms and astatwart deputy were somnaioned and inst.ructed to re move the umn ul'y Senator at bhe first deonst:al.on that he made. A con fereoce renort was being read. and khe Virgo:a r'epresentative made bis usual objection simuflaoeously, Col. Cana day seized h3m by the lepels of his coat and at;em oted to force him into n=s seat. I'es'-taace beiag off'ered. the dep uty was summoned, and he g:abbed Riddleberger a'oout ihe waist while Canaday attended to the upper pac t of the body. In this uadignified wnac aer the d;stueber of senatoral decorum was forcibly hustled ino a croak loom and, despEe his protess was kept under sorveiance until tne hoo: o?' adjourn met. It was a disg acefu! episode and was a climax to a continued spree, which a'i decent people wif!1 regret. Easy Money Making~. Perhaps+to. enterprise of any South ern newspaper has ever met with the favor that has been accorded the latest pla(i of The World-Eudget Company, of Charleston, S. C., for further e-. tend the cijculation of their th:.ee pub licaions, The Daily World, the Week ly Woild, and Th.e Sunday B,udg. The subsc' iption pneces are, respect.ve ly, seve.1 dollars, two dolla's and a half, anaoone dollar, per annaum. The Weekly World and The Sunday Rudget are twelve-page (72 columas) pape-s. while The Daily World consis.s of eight poges (48 columns) each day. All of the pub'ea.rous of The World Budget Company are beautifully printed on good paper from brand new type, and are, consequently, particu larly legible. The plan refe' red to is this. On the fst day of July, of tbis yea:-, The World-budget Company will d:sirib ute the sum of two hundred and fifty dollas in cash to the seven persons who shall have sent in, between Feb ruary 20, 1889, (be la:gest sums of money for subscriptions to either or all of their publications, thus puitiog pei sons in the country and city on pre cisely the same footing in this novel eomnet ition. At first sight it would appear diffi cult to iangine how these enterprising Charles..: publishers can expect to "et their money back," but the solu ton is not difficult to find. The~ premiums (which are divided nto the following amnou ats, $100, $50, $35, $2.5, $20, $15 arid $5) may all be won bv. per sons who probably will not have sent in, up to July 1, more than twenty or thirty dollars altogether. Therefore, people living in smaller vil lages and hamlets will stand just as good a chance of winning the premiums as will thdse who live in the city, It is even possible that t he first prize of one hundred dollars may be won by some-1 mne,he total amount of whose sub scriptions may not exceed ten dollars. Therefore, no one should be deterred from trying. Everybody has some friends who will be willing to help them by their subscriptions, and themselves y getting one or more of the largest, handsomest, spiciest, "livest," newsiest nd best newspapers in the cotton Siates. Sample copies, subscription blanks, nd addressed return envelopes will be furnished free upon application to The World-Budget Co., Charleston, S. C. I - A NARROW ESCAPE. The Abernathy Murderers Removed from Yorkville to Columbia for Safe Deeping. [Columbia Register 2nd.] The high character for security which Richlan<Y's jail has acquired under Sheriff Rowan's efficient management attracted to it another consignment of criminals for safe keeping yesterday. it comprised the four negrees charged with the murder of Mr. Abernathy at Catawba Junction some ever a month ago, and who have been confined in the jail at Yorkville since Rock Hill was found likely to prove an unhtalthy place for them in which to remain. It was generally believed that there would be no further trouble, as the trial of tle prisoners comes off at the next term of the court, whien opens at Yorkville on the first Monday in April. Last Thursday evening, however, Sheriff E. A. Crawford received infor mation from what he believed the most trustworthy sources that on that very night a band of men 17.5 strong were coming from Rock Hill and vicinity to attempt to take the prisoners-from the jail, and if successful in tlis to haag them to the nearest converient tree or timber. There was no time for the weighing of chances for the danger, if danger there was, was immediate, and the Sheriff, securing the services of Deputy R. L. Scoggins and Mr. R. M. Whi:e sides, placed the four prisoners in their charge, with instructions to take them to Columbia. To avoid all possibility of suspicion the jail was kept dark, and the first the four negroes knew of their impending trip was the sight oftheirconductors by a lantern's flickering light entering their cells. The party was let out at a rear entrance, piloted turough the fields to a waiting carriage, and thence conveyed therein to Blacksburg, twen ty-two miles from Yorkville. There at 3 o'clock in the morning the Air Line train was taken for Spartanburg, and from that place came to Columbia yes terday, where their charges were hand ed over to Jailer Coleman. The four negro prisoners are Char ley McMinnis, John Feaster, Charley Colston and Will Barneit, and they were all apparently very glad to reach Columbia, as they had all been badly scared by the threatening danger which caused their hasty removal from York ville.

LP?hiadelphia Record.] The late advance in prices of yellow pine lumber is likely to be increased, the movement having assumed the form of a trust, information from trustworthy sources indicates that Stillwel Miller & Co., and the Hilton & Dodge Lumber Compatny ofSavan nah, Ga., who control about- (h ee fourths of the yellow pine output, to gether with several lesser films, have formed a combination with a view to beaing down the-rates of transporta. tion and at the same time advancing the p rice of yellow pine lumber in Northern markets. The advance in this market has not been heavy 'for the reason that yel1ow pine is in plentiful supply ; but the re sumption of more active building oper ations w"l no doubt fud nish the oppor tunity for puiting the screws to the trade. In cargo lots yellow pine edge boards a-e now worth $14 to $!68; heatface boards $20 to $22.50 ; scantling and plank $20 to $22. Spruce Ilumber of various sizes rages in price from $18 to $20, and hemlock from $13 to $16. Earthquake in Ecuador. ST.
