THE DARLINGTON NEWS. THURSDAY, FEB. 16, 1888. HEX BY T. THOXPMOX, EDITOR. 9S A NUT FOR LAWYERS The murder of the Woo'folk family iu Georgia in lively to bring op a kuotty question for the de cision of tbe civil Courts of that Bute. Tin re are two sets of chiim- sots for the property; the sur viving daughters of tbe bead of tbe family, and the next of kin of their stepmother, Mrs. Woolfolk. The puzzle is which one of the ill- fated pair was the survivor. Tom Woolfolk who lies under sentence of death, as tbe murderer of the family is the only human being who cm throw any light upon this dis puted fact on which the succession to the property hinges. It he dies without nuking a coufessio i, the counsel in tbe case will have a tare opportunity of exercising thur Ingenuity before a Georgia jury, In which neither aide can adduce any fact upon which a conclusion can rest, but will have to content them selves with the most urn pie display of the plausibilities which a fertile imagination can suggest. Blaine’s Cunnin g Appeal to the Re publican Party. Pittsburg, Pa, Febrnaiy 12 — Tbe Pittsburg Comm rd a I Gazette wilt publish the following to-mor row: Mr. B. F. Jones, chairn an of the Nations! Republican, committee, has received a letter from Mr. Bisine, decliui? g to allow Iwa name to be presented to the National It* • pubLc.in Convention as a candidate fur the Presidential nomination. Mr Jones when asked w hether Mr Blaine’s decimation would pre- vent his friends from nominating him au>bow, said: “As 1 am chair nun of the national committee, 1 do not think it would Ire proper for me to have anything to say on that subject” “Do you think Mr Blaine would accept the uoiniuatiou if tendered to him f* “I have no authority to speak tor Mr. Blaine and have no conjec tures lo offer on the subject. The letter speaks for itself, and 1 must decline to be in'erviewed on this question . n Tbe following is Mr. Blaine’s let ter in full: Florence Italy, January 25.— To B. F. Jones, Chairman ot the Republican National Committee- Sir : 1 wish through you to state to tbe members of tbe Republican party that my uatne will not be presented to the National Conven tion, called to assemble in CUic igo June next for the nomination of candidates for President and Vice President.of tile United States. I am constrained to this decision by considerations entirely persoual to myself, of which you were advis ed more than a year ago. But I can’t make tbe announcement with out giving expression to my deep sense of gratitude to many thou sands of my countrymen who Lave sustained mo so long and so cordial-, ly tha tbi-ir feelings baa seemed to go beyond ordinary po kical al- berenoe of fellow panisiaus, and to partake somewhat of the nature of f uvonal atuohmeut Forth’s most generous loyalty of friendship 1 can make no adequate return, but 1 shall carry the memory of it while life lasts Nor can I refrain from congratu lating the Republican party upon the cheering prospects which dis tinguish the opening of the na tional contest of 1888 as compared with that of 1884 In 1832 the lie- S ublioan party throughont the Uu- m met with disastrous defeat. Ten States that had supported Gar field aud Arthur in the election of I860 were carried by Democrats, either by majoriiics or pluralities. The Republican loss iu Northern elections, compared with the ceding national election, exceed d half a million viutMf and the electo- jtalvote;the Union, divided on tbe basis of tbe result of 1882, gave to tbe Democrats over 306 elector al votes out of a total of 501. There was a partial reaction in favor of the Republicans in the elections of 1883, bat the Democrats stdl had possession of seven Northern States, aud on the basts of the year’s eon- teat oonld show more than 100 ma Jonty in the electoral colleges of the whole country. But against the; discouragement naturally following the adverse eleetious of these two years the spit* It of tbe Repub ica n party in t e na tional contest of 1884 rose high, aud tbe Republican masses entered into tbe campaign with such energy that the final result depended on tbe vote of a single ISiate, aud that State was carried by tbe Demociatio party by a ptur ality ao small that it represented less than one eleventh of one per oent of the entire v#te. Tbe change of a single vote in every two thou sand of the total poll would have given the State to the Republicans, though only two y ears before tbe Democratic plurality exceeded one hundred ana ninety-two thousand. Tbe elections of 1886 and 1887 have demonstrated .the growing atrengtb la the Republican ranks. Seldom in our political history has a party defeated in a national elec tion rallied immtdiately with such as have tbe Republicans since No comparison is possible the spirit of the party iu The two periods present simply a contrast—the one of gi-ur ral depres sion, the other of enthusiastic re- viva'. Should the party gain in the te-n'ts 1888 over those of 1j480 87 iu any-lung like the proportions of g iiu of 1884 over 1882 83 it «oilld secure one of the mos; remurkable victories of its •ntne exNten •*. But victory doesn’t depend «n so large o ratioof iuciease. The p »rt\ has only 10 mai it tin relatively ks presrige ot 1386 87 to give it* national candidate every Noiaern State but one, with tar better pros pect of carrying that one thou it has h id for the pas' six Tears. Another feature of the pollti :al situation should inspire the Repub licans with iire»Mible strength. Tbe present National Administra tion was elec e I with, if not upon, repeated assertions ol iis leading suppoiters in every protect! u State tint no issue on tin tariff was tu voiced. However earnestly the Republicans urged thet qiies’ion as one of con-rolling import nice iu the campaign, they were met by Demo- cr tic leaders and journals with persistent evasion, concealment aud denial. '1 hat ie.-ourcc the President has fortunately removed. The is sue which KeptjblicaUH tuaiiuaiued and Democrats avoided in 1384 has been . romiuently and *i*cifieaily brought fm ward by the Dem ». ratio President and ctliuol In* hidd 'll out of sight in 1888. The country is now in (be enjoyment of an indus trial system u hich in a quarter of a century has assured a larger na tional giowih, more rapid aocuuiu lotion and broader distribution or wealth th *n were ever before kno vn to history. The American people will now be openly and formally asked to decide whether this system shall bo recklessly abandoned aud a new trial be made of an old ex|ieri- uieut, which has uniformly led to national embarrassment aud wide spread individual distress. On the result ut such an issue f tirly pre sent! d to the popular judgm uc there is no room for doubt. One thing ouly is necessary to as-lire success, complete harmony and cordial co-operatimi uu the pari ol all Republicans; on the part both of those who aspire to lead andot those who are eager to follow. Tbe duty is not one merely ot honorable devotion to tbe party whose record and whose aims are alike great, but it is one demanded by the insriuct ol self iut»rest, and by the still higher promptings of patriotism. A closer observation of the coudiiious ot 'ile among o'der nations g.ves one a more intense desire that the American people shall make no mistake in closing a policy which inspires labor with hope aud crowns it with dignity, which gives safety to capital and protects its increase, which secures political power to every citizen, comfort and culture to every ho ne. To this end, not less earnest ly and more directly as private citizen than as public can didate, I shall devote myself with the confident belief that the ad ministration of the Government will be restored to the party which has demonstrated (he purpose and power to wield it for the unity and honor of the Iti public aud for the prosperity and progress of the peo pie. 1 am, very sincerely roars, JamksG. Blaine. Washington Letter- (From Our Kagultr Correspondent.) Washington, Feb. IGili, ’88 One of tiie latest acts of Presi dent Cleveland gieatlj’ pleased the Democrats and wnfully displeased the Mugwumps and the Republi cans. It was bis refusal to approve the newly proposed civil service rule requiring officials to file their reasons for the removal of subordi nates This ruling opeus tbe way to rid the service ot hundreds of Republic hi barnacles who nave fattened at the public crib until age has impaired their useialnoss. Another feature of the new rules that is received with much s itM \c- tion is the abrogation <d the ri.iu-u, requiring applicants for examina tion to be under foitp five years of age.

On Wu'bi> g-on’s birthday, Feb. 22ud., th i National Democratic Committee will meet in this city for the purpose of calling the Na tional Democratic Convention. The representatives of several cities are actively at work to secure the coveted pnze—among the number New York, Chicago, St. Lou s. In- dianap' Its ard San Francisco. If I were disposed to bo prophetic, l would say thit the convention w.ll go to New York, and a'so that Representative Scott of, Penn- stlvania, who is known as ihe clos est friend ol President Cleveland now actively engaged in politics will be the saccessor of Mr. Bar- oum as Chairman of the N itioual Democratic Commit ee. The House has passed an impor tant bill amending the Internal Revenue laws. Its effect is to abcilub what are known as minium punishments and to give the courts discretion to impose fines in such cases. The obj.-ct of the Proposed law is to discourage frivolous pro seeulious. Many other bills were passed by tbe House this week which are scarcely worthy of special mention, most of them beiug of a private character. Some scandal having leen caus ed by private telegraph wires being connected with the House, Speaker Carlisle has ordered an investiga tion of the matter. It is said these wires are used chiefly for stock job biug purposes. Senator Piatt came forward early iu the week with a partisan attack on the Democracy. His provoca tion was tbe Pres d ut’a message, which be triumphantly characteris ed as a free tiade document It is evident that the Chief Magistrate’s aid • St ite p«p-*r will furnish the Uenuhlittans with |»olit’C<tl ammuni tion f ir a long ri ue >et Another tight similar to the Oleo- m irguriue controversy is brew ing in the Senate.

Th<< Cnair usually found means id d ‘clarity bun out of o der. Several 8 -nators endeavored to make 8ugg.M: ions, hut Mr. R ddle lierger snubbed them in a manner thitctused mtiuh laughter iu the galleries, and the Chair threatened t«» cl-ar them. Mr. Riddlebeiger lierststed, and fin illy appealed fiom a deci-iou of the Chair that h<* was out of order. The Cuair did not entertain tbe appeal, hut said, “the geutU-uiaii fio n Virginia will take his seat.’’ Mr. Riddleberger did not comply, but stood still with lidded arms. Thera was auomiuous pause andanixp etan hush. After a moment or two Sentato; Butler of South Carolina, moved considera tion of a resolution in winch he was interest d, and the Chair put this motion.

Harriott, the propeity clerk ol the police department, yesterday in a suit brought by Willum Rogers, the “green goods” man who so suc cessful!} swindled Asltury H. Per kins, the South Carolina planter, deacou aud county com miss toner, to r cover from the property clerk the proceeds ot that swindle and f 100 damages besides. Perkins, it will b* lemembered, came to this city Irom his home in Lancaster on January 24, with the intention of purchasing $10,000 worth of counterfeit money. He with walking down Bio .dway with Rogers when Detectives McCioskey and .Mulbolhuid caught right ot the pair aud tracked them to E «rb-’s Hotel, where they sepa>. ated. Next morning Rogers relume t to the hotel an<l the bargain was closed. Just as the pair were leaving, Per kins with Ills bag of “green goods” and Rogers with the $400 which the rustic had paid for them, the de tectives pounced upon them aud took them before Inspector Byrues, who, on opening the sale) el, found $35 tu good hills and four wadsot beautiful light green book paper. When Mr. Perkins saw that lie had been sold be was indignant, and be came more so wh u he was looked up as a witness against Rogers. The following morning the pair wei« taken to tbe Tombs, where Perkins made a complaint Howr A Hummel appeared for Rogers, and after one artyonniment the case was dismissed, aud tbe gray-bared rascal, who had travelled all the way from tkmtli Carolina to procure the means of swindling bis conttd ing neighbors, was given u scathing lecture on the evil of his ways by the presiding Justice. When Rogers was arrested he had $745 iu his possession, and upon his be ng discharged $345 was returned to him and the Police Jus tice instruo eil the properly clerk to take charge ot the $460 which Farmer Perkins bid piid him. Perkin’s lawyer male several in effectual attempts to reg.itu pos.'Ov siou of iL aud finally Farmer Per kuwaigrew weary and left for h uue without the capital with which ne bad intended embarking in the business ot pissing couu’erfeit moony. It is to recover this, together with $100 which tie claims as dam ages caused by Mr. Harriott’s with- ho ding the money, that Rogers brings suit. Clerk Harriott has turned the papers over to the police commts siouers, who will band them to Corporation Counsel Beekmau. Ue will make De con Pc kins a party to the suit iu order to prove w ho is (he rightful owner. Thus th ' legal status ol “green goods” transactions may be passed upon by the higher Courts. Mr. Hariott saysth.it it the trade was a legitimate out) Rogeis is eu titled to the $400, but as Deacon Perkins paid $400 lor $10,000 in counterfeit bills aud only rtceived $35 iu cash and the bundles ot pa per, he claims that P> rktus is en titled to $355. Mr. Harriott adds, with much feeling: “It has been the general belief that tbe conntrym.ni who surren ders good mono; lor packages of worthless paper is^be chl\ sufferer iu the transaction This is a mis* take, as this n »vel suit shows tha' I also am a stiff, rer.” South Carolina News- The Sunday Neurt |sa}8 “The figure ot Justice at Marion Square looked as if it had been ou a spree yesterday moruiug.

The Columbia Register of Satur day says “Col. E. B. C Cash is dangerously ill a his home iu Ches terfield County, and no ho >es ot his recovery are entertained. Paralysis ia said to be the nature of hU sick ness.” A colored man in Charleston who bad bis life insured for ten thou* sand dollars died very unexpectedly nnd mysteriously a short time since. The insurance companies, suspecting foul play, have put a Pinkerton detective on the track of the young widow, aud start Hag developments ot a domestic tragedy may be expected in a few days. About two weeks ago Mr. W. F. Turner, who has charge of tbe Asylum farm io Columbia, while attempting to save a mule from '.he attacks of an infuriated Hol stein Bull, was gored in the right arm by the animal and throw'u over its head. From these injuries death ensued ou Saturday morning last. Mr Turner was 61 years of age, aud was a well known horti culturist. The Pension Board held a meet ing on Tuesday and formulated a set of rules and regulations to gov ern county auditors in making cer tificates as to the financial standing ot applicants for pensions. These will be printed at ouee and sent to the auditors. On account of tbe restiaining circular recently sent ont the rash of applicants has ceas ed, but it will doubtless be so >n re newed. Commissioner Butler recently re- ceivt d comp ain's that t ie fish law was imiog violated oo tne Ediato Liver by shad fishermen, that fish ing was constantly in progress at Jneksonboro, and that it was re- port* d that tbe river waa blockaded by wire nets. Acting upon these complaints tbe commissioner to-day npp ioted J. P. Llaroy, of Orange buig, a patrol ou the Edisto aud branches.

The State Department of Agri culture is daily reeeivi-ig letters from all parts of the North aod North-west, written by parties who d>>i e iutormation iu regard to the State, with a view to emigrating heie.

The fact that a vagrant was np at auction j nd fold *o the highest bidder at Milan, Mo., laat week is not regarded as extract dinary by the Congressmen from t hat State. ••Such Instances,” saya Repre sentative Mansur, “while not fre quent, are by no means rare. There is a 1 >w upon onr statute, book, pass-d twenty years ago, which provides that an idle, improvident fellow who neglects his family, or who, through shiftless babits, is likely to become a burden to the community, may be sold at auction tbe highest bidder for a term of six mouths “Alter the vagrant has worked ou 1 the purchase money any other sum earned by him i t fair compeu sxtion is applied by his master to the payment ot bis debts or the main eriauce of his family.
