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.

[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.
