ELBERT H AULL, EriCRa. ELBERT H. AULL, ro r WM. P. HOUSEAL, v Proprietors. NEWBERRY. S. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1S9( THE LEGISLArURE MEETS. Both Houses Organizbd-Everything De cided in Caucus as to Elective Offes Col. Irby Elected Speaker Without Opposition-Other Naters. On Monday afternoon I went dowl to Columbia to see the Legislature or ganize. The Newberry delegation wa on boad, except Mr. Blease who ha< gone on the earty train. There was considerable crowd on the train, mos of the members from the counties abov here being on board, together with good instalment of candidates wh were busy making themselves knowt to the members, and I presume preseni ng their various claims to the favora ble consideration of the Legislators. Solicitor 0. L. Schumbert and Attor ney-General Y. J. Pope also went dowi Monday afternoon. Mr. J. D. Smith candidate for re-election as Sergeant-at Arms of the Senate, and Dr. S. Pope candidate for Clerk of the Senate, wen down on the early train. Arriving in Columbia, I found th City prssenti3g a rather lively appear ance, and the hotel lobbies wer ~owded with Legislators, candidate and friends of those who were aspirin to office. THE CAUCUS DOES THE WORK. The caucus within the party seem to be the. order of the day in politics i: South Carolina now, and it was soo: ned that a caucus of the Tillma Democratic members of the Hous would be held in the Hall of the Hous of Representotives at 8 o'clock at nigh1 The caucus is a very potent and effe< tive factor in settling the destenies, nc of nations, but of candidates for office The numerous candidates and thei friends submit with wonderful goo grace to this new order of things an take the results as matters of course. heard one candidate for a place at tb disposal of the General Assembly, wh was a good Tillmanite and who "gc left," say, that he was going home an( attend to his own business. He ba, ver been a candidate before for an, office, Lut the caucus settled his cas and his name was not mentioned as candidate when the election was held He said he had learned a good deal i: his brief experience as a candidate What was the significance of his re marks I cannot pretend to say. He I a one-legged ex-Confederate and a ver clever gentleman, but the caucus did il Then there are other candidates wh prefer the caucus plan. WVell it make all the difference in the world as to hos a man's chances for success are before caucus, when he comes to form hi ~opinion as to the advisability of th ~caucus plan. FThe caucus is here and here to sta; for a while at least. It met on Monda; night for the first time during the pres ent session, but did not do anything a many of the members were absent and soon adjourned to meet again oi Tuesday morning before the assemblin, of the Legislature. On Tuesday morning a caucus of th Tillman Democrats of the Senate an< of the House went into separate session and determined upon the elective ofil ces. of both houses, and when the elec fons came on everything move< smoothly as in nearly every case ever; man who was in the caucus felt boun< to support the nominees of the caucus I say in nearly every case, for I knot in the vote for Sergeant-at-Arms of th House Messrs. Blease and Scott, o Newberry, voted for J. D). Brown,whil cte aucus man was Stansell. Ther may have been others. I thought a one time I was going to be able to se the proceedings of one caucus. I wa in the House when the caucus wa called to order and Mr. Yeldell, c Edgefield was elected president an< Dr. -- Smith, of Barnwell, secretary But that was all I saw, for the nex move was to request all who' were no members and not in sympathy wit] the movement to retire, and I wa no a member and therefore retired. THE SENATE MEETS. -At a few minutes past 12 o'cloc] Lieut.-Governor Mauldin called thi Senate to order and the Clerk called th roll. The proceedings were opene< with prayer by Rev. Ellison Capers The new members elected were thei sworn in by the President, and on ma tion of Senator R. R. Hemphill, of A b beville, Senator H. A. Meetze, of Lex ington, was elected president pro tem without opposition, receiving :32 vote: Senator J. L. Keitt, of Newberry nominated Dr. S. Pope, of Newbherry for Clerk which nomination wa seconded by Senator W. D). Evans,c Marlboro. T. WV. Woodward, of Faji field, nominated H. A.. Gaillard, c Fairfield, the present incumbent. Th vote resulted, Pope 21, G3aillard 1: Pope was elected and sworn in and as simed the duties at once. The next election was that of Sei geat-at-Armns. J. W. Ferguson,c Laurens, nominated J. D). Smith, ( Newberry, the present ineumbent fc -election. This nomination wvas se< Sonde4 by A. T. Smythe, of Chbarlestor Dr. T. t Strait, of Lancaster, nom nated A. C-Elliott, of Lancaster, an it was seconde'' v D. T. Red fearn. Chesterfield. The '-te resulted, Smit 14, Elliott 19, andi EhIL was declare elected. I am very sorri,r. Smit was defeated. He is a on%rmed e Confederate and made a ver-sYce officer as all the old Senators w,.Ms fy. But there was a clean se around. I am satisfied but for the ce cus Mr. Smith wvould have been elected. In obedience to the eau, Mr. Keitt, of Newberry, voted Elliott as against Smith. For Reading Clerk Mr. G. La Buist,' of Charleston, nominated A. D. Goodwyn, of Columbia, the p ent incumbent. No other nominati were made, but the caucus had deci upon a man, and when the roll call completed it was found that Good; had received 14 votes and F. C. Car understood up to this time that Good wyn would have no opposition. The president then announced the following appointments made by Lieut Governor Gary. Bill clerk, W. J. Moore, and Journal clerk, J. Y. Jones, both of Abbeville, and as pages William L. Hemphill, of Abbeville, and W. C. Irby, of Laurens. This completed the organization of the Senate, and I pro ceeded to the hall of the House of Rep resentatives to witness theorganization there. THE ROUSE ORGANJZES. Mr. John T. Sloan, the veteran clerk, had called the house to order, and Mr. John Gary Evans, of Aiken, had been elected temporary chairman, and the members had not finished signing the roll. Ernest Gary, of Edgefield, in a neat speech, placed in nomination for Speak er, J. L. M. Irby, of Laurens. This nomination was seconded by Cole. L. Blease, of Newberry, in a fitting and appropriate speech, and Mr. Irby wa elected without opposition. The Speak er elect was escorted to the chair by Patterson, of Barnwell, Gary, of Edge field, and Blease, of Newberry. Col. Irby, in taking the chair, thanked the members for the complimentary way in which he had been elected and paid a tribute to his predecessor as the best parliamentarian, possibly, who had ever occupied the position, but said he t would permit no man to excel him in the fairness and impartiality of his de cisions, or in his efforts to perform his duties faithfully. The other busi ness was then proceeded with. For Clerk of the House, Mr. Ira B. Jones, of Lancaster, nominated J. Wal ter Gray, of Greenville, which nomina tion was seconded by Mr. Mooney, of Greenville. No other nominations were made, and Mr. Gary was elected, receiving 107 votes. The next election was for Sergeant at-Arms. W. H. Timmerman nomi nated N. H. Stansell, of Barnwell, and it was seconded by Mr. Patterson, of Barnwell. I John F. Ficken, of Charleston, in a tvery happy speech, nominated J. D. Brown, the present incumbent, which r nomination was seconded by H. C. Patton, of Columbia. The vote re sulted, Stansell 85, Brown 36. For Reading Clerk, D. E. Finley, of York, nominated J. C. Wilborne, of York, and he was elected withouut op t position. After the elections had been com pleted, the members drew for seats and an adjournment was had until Wed nesday morning. The Newberry members were very fortunate in securing good seats. They are on the aisle about half way of the House. In tbe Senate several bills were intro 5 duced. Mr. Blease says he will intro. duce early in the session a bill to limit a day's work in cotton factories to ten hours. He has a large petition from Newberry asking that such an act be passed. SIn addition to those already men Stioned, Col. Ellison S. Keitt and Hon. J. A. Sligh, of New berry, were in Co. lumbia as very earnest and interested spectators of the proceedings. SGovernor Tillman was also there looking as happy and conten ied as a newly elected Governor could well ap pear. It is understood that the inaug uration will take place next Thursday, the 4th December. WHO IS TO SUCCEED H.A11TON? This was the absorbing question, the answer to which is somewhat difficult to predict. I have been of the opinion all the time that Hampton wvould he his own successor, but if the caucus Sprevails there is no telling what will Shappen. There will be no scarcity of men who are willing to go to the United States SSenate. In fact there are a number of candidates now in the field for the Splace. The names of Col. James L. Orr, of Greenville, and Judge Wallace, of SUnion, have been nientioned as proba Sble candidates, buit I no not think they are in the race yet. Senator Hampton, I understand, will be a candidate un less the caucus decides to concentrate on one man, and then he may not be in~ the field. SCol. Ellison S. K{eitt, of Newberry, Sis a candidate, and it was qjuietly ru mored on Tuesday afternoon, in (Co lumbia, that Dr. Sampson T'ope, of Newberry. would also be in the race. Senator Henry A. Meetze, of Lexing ton, is a candidate. He has been prominent in the Tillman movement and his friends will urge him for the place. Then Hon. WV. A. Courtenay, of Charleston. 1s spoken of. There was also some talk of Congressmian J. J. Hemph ill as the probable successor of -R-anmpton. I think, however, that if -Hampton is not elected and Col. J. L. 31. Irby, of Laurens, is a candidate, that he wvill be the most formidable opponent among the Tillmanites. I do not think that Governor Till man will be a candidate. But it will be some two weeks yet before the election and there is no telling what change of -sentiment may come over the memn hers in that time. I trust that Senator SHampton will be permittedl to retain his seat for one more term. -Gordon has been elected Senator from Georgia, and Vance wiil succeedl - himself in North Carolina, and I would f regret very much for South Carolina f to turn her back upon Hampton. He r has done valiant service to the State in - wvar and in peac~e, and now for his own .people to turn their backs on him in - his old age, and for no sin at all, looks I bad. The only and great objection f seems to be that his letter to Col. Irby iwas too tame. I trust that the old hero I of two revolutions may be permitted to succeed himself without opposi - tion. t Ral L ROAD COMDIIO1NERS. -It seems to be understood that three rail road comnmissioners are to be elected e-y the present Legislature, and there uS 0o scarct of Candlidates for this po for COg\aSO, and they are already in Grece ib Cievelan( as t hree-R. Mayes r. Gower. J. 1IH. Jenkins and T. C. es a candidate, airle, of Oconee. is also es Union, atid E. P.4). P. Duncan, of ed ton, are candidateg'y, of Charles ms L. Bulow, of Fairfiek -glection. T. -'of Charleston, Robert a X. Boyles, J. A. Sligl, of Newberry, are also can didates for the place, with possibly others to bear from. There seems to be some difference of opi.hion as to whether the Act of 1S2, which provides for the election of three commisioners from three respective districts, or whether the Act of 1888, which provides for the election of three com nissioners without regard to local ity, is of force. The 1SSS Act does not, in terms, repeal the Act of 1S82. The way out of the difficulty seems to be to pass another Act at this session and have it approved, and then go into an election of three railroad commission ers %% ithout regard to locality. I think that Mr. Sligh's chances for election are good. In fact he seemed to be the most prominent candidate. The other two most likely will be T. W. Stanland, o Berkeley, a ( T. L. Bulo.v, of Fairtield. But of course this is only conjecture. SUPERINTENDENT PENITFNTIARY. Another position that seenis to be in demand is that of Superintendent of the Penitentiary. Col. T. J. Lip-eomb will be a candidate for re-elect ion ard will be opposed by J. N. King, of Ab beville, and N. W. Brooker and W. J. Talbert, of Edgefield. There may be other candidates. I am inclined to the opinion that if Col. Lipscomb is not his own successor that W. J. Talbert is the coming man. NOTES. The Legislature is composed almost entirely of new men, there being not over 25 members of the last House members of the present one. The farmers are largely in the majority. It is a very good looking body of men and they seem to mean business. They also present the appearance of being well to do and prosperous. The Till manites have about 90 of the me- bers of the House. In the Senate most of the members elected this year are new men; only one, I believe, being returned, General Heniphill, of Abbeville. The Tillman ites have about twenty of the members of the Senate. In both houses it will be observed that they have a good working majority and will, therefore, have no excuse for no:. carrying out the reforms g,nd the reduction of taxa tion promised the people during the canvass. Mr. Cole. L. Blease, of Newberry, I believe is the youngest member of the present House. If Col. Irby is elected to the Senate, John Gary Evans, of Aiken, will likt ly succeed him as speaker. Ira B. Jones, of Lancaster, but for merly of Newberry, is to be chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. I have taken up more space than I intended, but I take it that our people are interested in this Legislature pos sibly as they have not been in the pro ceedings of any that has assembled since 1876. The proceedings will be watched with interest. E. H. A. Governor Tillman will be inaugurated next Thursday, December 4. Excur sion rates will be given on all the rail roads so that everybody can go. We suspect that there will be a large crowd in attendance. Col. Ellison S. Keitt has a full and exhaustive argument on the first page of The Herald and News on the consti tutionalty of the sub-treasury bill. He bases his argument on the decisions of the supreme Court. A RIOT AT BISHOPVILLE. Negroes Tear Down the Guard-House and Let a Man Out Several Negroes WVoun ded, but no White Man Murt. [Special to the News and Courier.] SUMTER, November 23.-Last night at a negro festival at Bishopville S. C. Scarborough, intendant, arrested a ne gro and placed him in the guard house. The negroes became infuriated, andl forcibly released the prisoner. A gene ral riot ensued and two negro womeni were shot, but not fatally. The few whites found themselves unable to cope with the mob, and the negroes took possession of the place. Intendant Scarborough telegraphed here at 2 o'clock this morn ing for the Sumter Light Infantry to go to his assistance, as the whites were unable to protect themselves. Capt. Brand could not move his i. ompany without orders, but informed Sheriff Carson of the state of affairs, and he went to Bishopville this morning. Nothing has been heard from Bishopville to-day, but .Sherit! Carson notified the Governor and t.he Sumter Light Infantry has been ord ered to report to the sherift' at once. Capt Brand is getting his con)pany ready, and has telegraphed for a special train to take his company to Bishop ville to-night. Further news from Bishopville is most anxiously awaited here. A telegram just received from In en dant Scarborough at 6.3 o'clock says the negroes are collecting at Bishop ville and there is severe trouble ahead, and that help is needed at onice.
