Norris. E. T. Stackhouse and J. W. Beasley. Ae the leeting was secret, nothing d,finite about the proceedings cou'd be obtained. Ac cording to the report made by the corre spondent of Tkt Stwt and Courier, how* etor, Mr. Tillman made some eery sweep ing assertions which were not entirely ac cepted by tboee present. It we* resolved that Capt.

The first anneal meeting of the State Farmers' Alliance will be held there •a August 14th, at which cun thoueend sub alliances will he represented. Im- pefHaat questions aad issues will be dis cussed by premioent farmers from other -Btatee. On the 16th nod 16th tbe annual lair of fie State Horticultural Society will bo bold in tke same otty. Two homicides occurred ia Sumter coun ty oa Satarday. Hal Wilson, oo'or d, liv ing about five miles from the Court House accidently rhot and killed bis wife. The ether which was aot accidental occurred at Bardin's in the same eounty. Busk Murphy and Alien Chapman, both colored became involved ia a quarrel wbick re united in the killing of tbe fbrmer. It took twenty three year* to get rid of THE REQUISITION FOR PAWLEY. We |>obli«h elsewhere the com mauicutiou of Capt. W. K. Bach- mau, the AMiatait Attorney Gen eral, in w hick he affirms that he alone in responsible tor the action taken by tbe Governor in the ease of tbe requisition for B. Gash Paw ley, and that no blame tbould at taeb, therefore, either to Governor Riehardsou or to Sheriff Cole. Thta manly declaration ia worthy of one who is as braveasoldier asever drew sword in defense of bis country, and the Assiatant-Attorney-Genfralcan at least feel that his error wasdne to his lack of familiarity .with tbe facts, whereby ‘‘Mr. Waring, of Young’s Island” was enabled to impose on him, and not to any in ignorance on his part concerning the law of requisition, on which subject be is known to be most thoroughly informed. We cannot be convinced, however, that be cause he advised the Governor to pursne the course which was adopt ed, the fault is aU bis. The moment the Attorney-General decides that the papers in the application for a requisition are regular, kw duty ends and that of the Governor be gins. Tbe law confers ou the At torney General the po wer to decide whether the application has been made in proper form ; after which the responsibility devolves upon tbe Governor to determine whether it is expedient to issue tbe reqnisi tion, and there is no way in which he can be relieved of that respou' aibility. He coaid not well issue the requisition if he should be ad vised by the Attorney-General that tbe papers are illegal, bat any ad vioefrom that officer other than that which touches the legal aspects of the case, would be gratuitous, and its value would certainly not depend upon the official relations existing between the two. We fail to perceive bow we have wronged Governor Riehardsou iu this matter. Tbe acts of a public official are at all times open to re spectful criticism, and we are un able to see that our article of last week was otherwise. To tell the truth, in view of all tbe facts in tbe matter. After a ticket has been nicely arranged by tbe Gonvention and the day oi 611*01100 arrives, the actual c.intm* of th» votes is a mere form. Tbe fight for tbe nom ination being entirely within the inuka of the Democratic party, ami every white voter in the State con ceiving it to be hie duty to abide by that nomination, he ban either to vote lor the party mrain e or not to vote at all. Tiiat nominee may be bis bitterest foe, and yet tbe voter has but tbe one alternative ; or he may be, in fact, sometimes is, thoroughly unqualified to discharge the duties of the office to which he is aspiring, aud yet no opposition can be made to him. Under such ciicamstanees the voter cat not but realize that tbe lofty fraebise which was conferred upoo him by tbe Coostitntion U dwarfed, minimized and, iu veiy unth, reduced to a nonentity. On tbe other hand, under the operations of the Prim ary, he teels that the privileges of tbe ballot box remain to him in all tbe untratneled freedom contem plated by the Constitution. He is at liberty to surrey the whole field, and to cast his vote for tbe candi date whom he regards as tbe very best man to fill tbe pcsitiou. There is Uu feeling of bitterness because of the technical restrictions which follow in the wake of the Conveu tiou plauj being but.entirely free to exercise bis choice in tbe matter, the intelligent citizen feels with satis faction that tbe elective franchise is a Mibstanii.il right, and one which it is truly a privilege tor him to be permitted to exercise.

As far as tbe people oi Darlington are concerned, Governor Richardson’s a«lministra tion has not been marked by the slightest unpleasant occurrence nntil tbe present time.

THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE. We have had occasion to remark heretofore that one good feature of Primary System ia its after •Sect upon tbe defeated candidate*; the votes being directly in the hand* of “the dear people” them selves, it would be absurd for those who are not honored to attribute their defeat to “atatee,* ‘‘trades,” combinations or polities! intrigues of any kind.

Editor Register : To meet all farther eontroveroy in the anbappy Gordon Maness fsHb curs case, I Gov. Richardson Exonerated troin all Blame in the Pawley Matter- Exkgi'Tivk Dkpaetmk.nt, * Orrics Attobnky General J Columbia, July 6, '88. j Editor of The Darlington Mews : In your paper of July 5tb, you publish a portion of the correspond cnee relating to a demand for a requisition ou the Governor of Georgia for one B. Cash Pa«l«-y, charged with oblaiuiug goods ol the value of twenty-five dollars, under lal*<- pratei.c*-*, at Florence the prosecutor leing Simon Elias, agent for Mrs. Elias, lu your edi torial you criticise very severely the action of the Governor in the matter, aud I think you have neg lected to blame tbe only person who was in fault at all. Your own personal familiarity with the pro ceedings in tbe Governor’s office iu relation to requisitions will enable you to bear me out when I say, that when a requisition is asked for the papers are submitted to tbe Attorney General s c Wee, aud upon examiuati n are returned to the Governor with the recommenda tion, either that this requisition be issued or declined, according to the circumstances. You will remem ber, too, that it has be-n the cus tom of i he Gov* roor to follow tbe recoiumeuda'ion in such matters from the Attorney General’* office. There ban beer no change mud* by the gentleman now in office, j, theiefore, icgard mys*)f as respon sible and desiie to assume any bl m< which may arise to any one in the premises. On June 25, ihe papers were sub mitted to me aud being detect)v e I returned them for correction. Tue Sheriff at Sav-muah stated t^at Pawley was willing to return with out a requisition. On June 27, other papers were submitted in due form, but the letter of P. H. Wariug, dated June 25th, arrived and was referred to me. I imme diately endeavore.1 to find out who P. H. Wariug was. I did not sue ceed in finding any one who knew him personally, but 1 found a gen tlemau of very high position aud character who said he knew tbe Waring family of tbe low country, and as far as he knew they all were reputable people. That agreed with my personal knowledge of the family of that name ro the Sea Board. On the same day, 27th of June, tbe Deputy Sheriff ot Savan nah telegraphed Sheriff Cole that he would be compelled to release Pawley, aud the only way to stop this would be for Govei nor Rich- ardson to telegraph Governor Gor don to have the mao held uutil the requisition arrived. Believing that Waring was a reputable person aud koowiig that if be was such per son, bis testimony would acquit Pawley, I advised tbe Governor not to make tbe requisition, and he followed my advice as has been the custom of the Executive office for the last seven years, so far as requisitions are coucerued. On the next day, 28tb, after tbe release of Pawley tbe dispatch came from Sheriff Cole stating that Waring was not a reputable person. Cer tainly i o one can blame Sheriff Cole, who did all his duty, nor is any one at fault except myself, aud I honestly believed that any one bearing (hi- name, *‘P. H. Waring,” was worthy of credeuce. I there fore hope that 1 may be excused if i have piade a mistake, but I insist that no one else shall be held re- spousHe for my error. in 1887 the General Assembly passed an Act requiring the expen. ses iu these extradition cases to be pa d out of the Governor’s Contin gent Fund, and that fund is 13,000. You will readily see that a fund so small must not be drawn ou ex cept when the demands of justice clearly require it, aud when it is rsasousbly certain that the person charged with crime would be con victed. I have now tried to do justice to •11 concerned in this matter and I will expect you to do the same. Wm. K. Bagbkah. For Sheriff, Notice.
