THE DARLINGTON NEWS. THURSDAY, Al’KIL 12, 1SSS. IIKAKY T. THOMPSON, KUITOK. THE DEAD LOCK IN CONGRESS On 1 uemlay, A pi it 3id, the Sen ate Direct Tax Dill came up for coimideration in the House of Uep* reaeutatives and that, body Las been since then in an unbroken deadlock. Although a large ma jority of the House Is in favor of the Bill the opponents of it have, by resorting to filibustering, heeu able to prevent its passage. The large number of ini|M)rtaut meas ures to be considered by the House are blocked by the dilatory metb oda of the minority and the busi ness of that body is at a complete stand still. Regardless of the tact that every boar Oougress spends in ses-iou costs the poeple of the eonutry a very large sum of money, this small minority are doing nil in their power to prevent Congress from proceeding with its work. They are sufficieutly strong to force the calling of the roll u|>oti trifling motions and thus waste the |>eople’s time and money. The opposition gives many reasons for its coarse in this matter, but they lay stress particularly upon the un- constitutionality of the Bill, as au objection to ita passage, and urge that, if it docs pass, a clause be in cluded in it providing for the re funding of the cotton tax, the codec Hon of which was undoubtedly un constitutional. The Republicans generally are in favor of the Bill, and the opposition comes mainly from Southern Democrats—a fact greatly to be deplored. We do not see on what grounds the course of the obstructionists eau be defended. They are sent to Congress as representatives of the people to legislate tor the general welfare, and not to place ob stacle* in the way of legislation. When they do this they are mis representing tbetr constituents and should be dealt with accordingly When they get home this summer. Tbia dead lock ia to be the more regretted because it divides the Democratic m^j rity, which is but email at beat, and because these dilatory methods furnish a very bad precedent (or the Republieauswben the time cornea tor the considers- tiou of the Tariff Bill. They will doabtleaa-follow the example thus •et them, and by filibusteriug may prevent the passage of that impor taut measure. It is gratifviug to know that, with the exception of Mr. Tillman tbe South Carolina delegation are with the majority and are therefore among those who heat represent tbe people by im proving every opportunity whicb presents itself of legislating for the public good. / Florence Nominates “A Ticket" Editor Darlington Newt: Dame rumor says that Darliug ton has made a slate as follows t Mr. H. H. Newton, for Congress; Mr. Geo. W. Brown, for Solicitor. Will Darliugton allow Florence to aoggest tbe following ticket: For Governor, Mr. H H. Newton; for Solicitor, Mr. Geo. W. Brown ; for Oongress, Hon Geo W Dargau. If those wbo find fault with Mr. Dargan would look up bis career daring bis slay in car Congressional Hall they would readily cease their fault-fludiug Mr. Dargan has done ■ore actual work aud less talk than any present member in Con gress from South Carolina. By all ■cans, Mr. Editor, he should be sent back ; to send another at this tiaM, would work serious detri- ■eat to all of our interests.

'88. “AH things cnim* to him who waits” has occurred to me veiy of teu this week as 1 uoted the change in sentiment which lollowed tb.- reporting of tb** Mil!* tariff bill to the House, by Chairman Mills, who lett a sick bed to pertorm that duly. A slight modification in lb- bill has secuied the suppoit o! the Lon Maiia delegut on w ho we e at Hist liilierly opposed to the bll. An other slight change in the cliu-e effecting worsted has won over the wool men from Ohio aud elsewhere so that the number of Democrats who oppose the measure baa been reduced to a very small number, and it is hoped >o a vote. Notice has been liven in th> House that the bill will be ca led np for aciion on the 17th, ins:. Au effort will then be made to hold the House down to the consideration of the measure until a vote is taken. Of course the Republicans are prepar ed to repeat on the floor of the Home everything which they did in the committee room to delay the bill, hoping iu this way to defeat it. The Democratic progiamine is to get the tariff bill d'sposed of before tbe meeting ot ibe tit Louis cou ventiou, iu June. From the pies- eut outlook tbe chauces are rather ■gaiust a vot« be'iig reached by that time, but the effort, will be made all the same. The chances of the final passage ol the bill have largely increased recently, and w hil«;it is by no means certain now that the bill will pass, it is more than probable that it will At any rate the arguments over the bll will place this whole question in a plainer light belore the country than heretofore. IVople will in consequence, look into the ques tion themselves, |ieop!e who have iu the past taken some political demagogue*’ * atemeut ol it as true, and the r*-snlt cannot tail to be a gain for tbe revenoe reform eta. Tbe Senate has spent more than a week wrangling over the House bill authorising tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury to pnrebase United Slates bond* with the surplus. The Senate is not divided on parly lines, as both parties have held caucuses to try to agree what should be done. The Silver Senators of both parties iu*iat on ameudiug the bill in *oine manner to tm rease the ptirchaa<-s of silver by the Government. Tbe House baa bad ita wrangle too. The cause waa tbe bill to re fond the direct taxes paid bj the several States into the United States Treasury. A large majority of the House tavor this bill but ow ing to tbe peculiar rules under whicb the body works a determined mi- nmitycm, ly fllibu*teriug, delay aud sometimes even defeat legisla tion. The opponents of the bill resorted to this method of Wed- uesdny, aud sue ceded in keeping the House in session until 2.30 A. M. Thursday morning. All day aud all night were sp< ht in dilatory motions. Such futious filibuster ing bad scarcely ever been since the foundation ot tb* House of Representatives. Senator 3h rmau says the report that be had or intended to retire from tbe tace for the Piesideutial nomination is entirely untrue lu a little over two mouths from now he will wish be had, aud next No vember be will hate himself for ever having even indulged the hope ol becoming President of the Unit ed State*. Nor will the knowledge that he has lost some of the cou* leuts ot his barrel add to the com- foit of his thoughts. It is understood the six Justices of tbe Supreme court are in favor of the promot ou of Justice Field, of California, to the vacant Chief Justiceship. Until tbe appoint ment ol Mr. Lamar to the Supreme bench, Justice Ftelu was the only Democr t of the Supreme Court. Governor Hill of New York is shortly to announce publicly that he is not and never has been a candidate for the Presidential i.outi- ua'iOn. He is a Cleveland man. Mr. Cleveland expressed himself to a ftieud this week asbeiug high ly pleased with the prospects of the Mills tariff bill in tbe House aud al so with the prospects of the Demo cratic party iu the coming cam paigu.
