It 11 illman Who Holda. the *eat of John U Calhoun [Mr. A. S. Sally, Jr., in The State.] In the late Senatorial campaigi in this State it was quito common to hear it said of so and so that he was "not fit to occupy the seat of John C. Calhoun.' Now, as a matter of fact, as well as of congratulation, the seat now occupied by Senator Me Laurin is not the seat that Calhoun filled. Senator Tillman holds the seat that Mr. Calhoun so i bly filled for so many years. When the first Congress of the United States met in 1789 South Carolina was represented in . the Senate by Messrs. Ralph Izard and Pierce Butler. Senator Izard's term was for six years, ending March 3. 1795. Senator Butler's for four years, ending March 3, 1793. In 1792 the Legislature re elected Senator Butler for a six years' term, but he resigned in 1796, and Johi Hunter was.ele, io fill out the term. In Novemoer' 1798, Senator Hunter resigned and Gov. Charles Pinckney was elected to fili out the term, which expired March 3, 1799. At the same time Mr. Pinckney was elected for the full term of six years, beginning March 4, 1796. He re signed in 1801 and Gen. Thomas Sumter was elected to fill out the term. In 1804 Gen. Sumter was re elect ed for the full term, beginning March 4, 1805, but -he resigned in 1810 and John Taylor was elected to fll out the term, ending March 3, 1811, and also for the full term, be ginning March 4,1811. Senator Tay lor resigned in 1816, and William Smith was elected to fill out the term also for the full term, beginning March 4, 1817. HAY= AND CALHOUN. In 1822 Robert Y. Hayne- was leted to succeed Senator Smith for the full term, beginning March 4, 1823, and in 1828 Senator Hayne was re elected for a second term, begiD ing March 4, 1819, but he resigned in 1832 and John C. Calhoun was leted to lill out his term, Mr. Cal houn resigning the office of Vice President to go on the floor of the senate.. 1834 Senator Calhoun was re-elected fo'r a full term of six years, ending March 3, 1841, and in 1840 he was re elected for a third term, beginning March 4, 1841, but he re signed in 1842 and Judge Daniel Elliott Huger was elected to fill out the term, but Mr. Calhoun's presence in the Senate was soon needed, and in 1845 Senator Huger resigned and Mr. Calhoun was returned to his old seat. In 1846 he was re-elected for a fourth term, ending March 3, 1853. He died M~arch 31, 1850, and Gvernor Seabrook appointed Hon. F. H. Elmore to the vacancy eo created. Mr. Elmore died May 20th follow ig, and' Governor Seabrook ap pointed Hon. Robert W. Barnwell to the vacancy. In December follow ing the Legislatnre elected Hon. Robert Barnwell Rhett to fill out the term, but Senator Rhett served but a little ove-r a year and resigned. Gov. Means appointed on. William F. DeSaussure to the vacancy, and when the Legislature met Senator DeSaussure was elected to fill out the term., At the same time Judge Josiah J. Evans was elected as Senator DeSaussure's sue essor for the full term, beginning March 4, 1853. Senator Eves died May 6, 1858, and Governor Alistor appointed Arthur P. Hayne to the vacancy so created. The Legislature, in December f ol lowing, elected James Chestnut, Jr. to fill out the term, ending March 3 1859, and for the~ full term, begin ning March 4, 1859, and ending March 3, 1865. Senator CJhestnu retired from the Senate Novembe: 10, 1860. From that date until June 25 1868, the State was not represente< in the Senate of tbe United States but in 1868 Thomas J. Rob ertson was elected Senator for th term, beginning March 4, 1865, an endin Marh 4.,1871. In 1870 h was re elected for the full term, ex piring March 3, 1877. The Legis lature elected Gen. M. C. Butler to succeed Senator Robertson, and by the same body he was re-elected in 1882 and in 1888, retiring March 4, 1895, in favor of B R. Tillman, the present representative of the Deocracy of South Carolina, who had defeated him before the Legis lature in 1894. It will be seen that 19 Senators have occupied this seat made so famous by John C. Calhoun in the 15 years that he occupied it. It is also worthy of note that Mr. Latimer, when he will have taken'his seat, will be the 19th Senator to have occupied the seat of Izard and Gaillard and Preston and McDuffie and Hampton. But the Cal. houn seat possesses one advantage that the other does not. It has never been occupied by an alien knave. No one but a native born South Carolinian has succeeded Cal houn, while the other seat, reserved for a South Carolinian, has been occupied by a Sawyer and- a Patter son, carpet baggers who were '%mong us, but not- of us." THE SEAT HELD BY M'LAUBIN. Mr. Izar3, who secured the six years' term in '17,89 was succeeded March 4, 1795, by Jacob Read, and Senator Read, was in turn, deteated for re-election in 1800 by John E wing Calhoun. Senator Calhoun is popu larly supposed to have been of the same family a John Calhoun, but he was not. He spelled his name differently arid his family came to South Carolina from "Fawny, Coun ty Tyroae, and kingdom of Ireland" John C. Calhoun's grandfather came from county Donegal to Pennsylva nia in 1733, and his father, Patrick Calhoun, came to South Carolina from Virginia in 1756. The two families might have come from the same stock originally. John C. Cal houn, however, married a daughter of John Ewing Calhoun. SERVED OVER 21 YEARs. The latter died October 26, 1802, and ex-Senatcr Pierce Butler was elected by the legislature to fill out his'term. Senator Butler resigned in 1804, and the legislature elected John Gaillard to fill out the term. Senator Gaillard was re elected in 1806, in 1812, in 1818, and in 1824, but died February ?6, 1826, and Gov. Manning appointed Hon. Wil liam Harper to the vacancy so cre ated. Senator Gaillard served for over 21 years-the longest time that any senator from this Sta 'e has ever served. Senator M C. Butler com ing next with 18 years. Over half of the time that Senator Gaillard was in the senate he was president pro temn of that body, and it is said that on one occasion he acted as President of the United States for one daiy. His successor, Senator Harper, served until the meeting of the legislature in November, 1826, when ex Senator William Smith was elected to fill out the term. PBEsTrON ANb i' DUFFIE. In 1830 Gov. S,ephen D. Miller was elected by the legislature to suc ceed Senator Smith on March 4t h, following. Senator - Miller resigned in 1833 and the legislature elected Wmn. C. Preston to fill out the term. Senator Preston was re elected in 1836 for a second term, but resigned in 1842, and the legislature elected ex Gov. George McDuffie to fill out the term and also for the new term, beginning March 4th, 1843. Sena tor McDaffie resigned in 1846 and the legislature elected Judge A. P. Btler to fill out the term. Senator Butler was re elected in 1848 and in 1854, but died May 25, 1857. Ex Gov. James H Hammond was elected by the legislature to fill out thbe term, but retired from the senate Novem ber 10, 1860. In 1868 the legislature elected Frederick A. Sawyer to fill out the term, beginning March 4, 1867, and ending March 3, 1873 Sawyer was succeeded on March 4, 1873, by John ,J. Patterson. In 1879 Patterson, the worst specimen that ever occu pied the seat, gave place to the greatest man that ever filled it, Gen.

[New York Herald.'] Whatever masy be the outcome of the election in November-wheth.er the Republicans are to lose the House of Representatives for the first time since 1892; whetber the party in power is to go upon the rocks in New York, Pennsylvania and other Eastern States and general chaos oc cur in Ohio, Indiana and the Middle West-the fact becomes clearer as the campaign opens east of the Al leghenics that but for President Roosevelt the Republican defeat would now be a foregone conclu sion.

The Republican party has been on the defensive for weeks and as been simply waiting for Mr. R ,osevelt to settle the coal strike and show the country that the ad ministration was a friend of labor. The strike may be settled to morrow. The work of campaigning, that once occupied two full months in New York and the other States of the East, will be crowded into two weeks of skyrockets, special trains and oratory.

R CO., nd persisting in ost Sale. THE E.-P. CO. have had any heart to begin their canvass in the East until some in definite period in the summer of 1904. But the President acted, and if his efforts are crowned with success in Wilkesbarre, the campaigners of the administration will have at least a chance. Reports from counties in the in terior of New York already show that since the President appointed his ar bitration boar 'the situation has changed. It is admitted by many frank Republicans that if he had not acted the party would have met disaster like that which overwhelmed it in the congressional elections of 1900. Whether disaster can be averted must depend on develop ments which during the next two weeks will come so fast as almost to tmble oer ne another.
