Maryland I^gisla- The bill of the Mary ture to redistrict the State has been signed by the Governor and has nog become a law. By this new bill five of the sixth congressional districts are made surely Democratic. Irregular practices have become so wjrk . prevalent in the U. 8. Courts in the Boi ’* outhern States that even a Republi can National House of Representa tives finds that an investigation is necessary. Mr. Claus Spreckles, who found his first employment in this country in Charleston, visited that city last week. He is now the “Sugar King” of the world and his wealth is estimated as high as #80,000,000. A man has been arrested in the State of Washington, who is supposed to be Sillcott, the assistant sergeant- at-arms of the National House of Rep resentatives, who stole the salaries of many of the members of Congress. Senator Gorman, on Friday, pre sented to the United States Senate the tKM resolutions of the General Assembly of Maryland asking that the sum of #800,000, exacted by the Confederate army under Gen. Jubal Early from the authorities of Frederick-, Mil., be refunded and reimbursed. Farmers' meetings were held in many Counties on Monday to take action upon the call for the March convention, while a good number held no meetings at all. The majority of the counties are opposed to" making nominations. Several for Governor. endorsed Ben Dick Hawes, the brute who mur dered his wife and two children at Birmingham, Alabama, in December 1888, was hanged in that city, on Fri- day. He made a confession that he was morally and legally guilty, in that while he did not actuallv commit the deed himself, he hired other parties to do it. Ex-Governor James E. English died at his residence in New Haven, Con necticut, on Sunday. He was three times Governor of Connecticut, and 1 served several terms in Congress and was once United States Senator. He was a veteran Democrat and in 1867 was the only Democratic Governor in the United States. Ex-Congressman Taulbee, of Ken- tncky, was shot and seriously wound ed by Charles T. Kincaid, a newspaper Wash- correspondent, in the Capitol at ington on Friday. Kincaid had offend- ed Taulbee by writing about hie min- demeanors and the two became en gaged in a fight. Taulbee is a much larger man than Kincaid, so the latter fired his pistol with the above. result given On Wednesday of last week the country in the vicinity of the Ohio 1 and Mississippi valleys was visited by! blizzards, tornados and floods. The snow fall was greater than has oc curred in that section for years and floods inundated many cities. Many houses, especially in Brownsville, Ten nessee, were unroofed. Several lives were lost and the damage to property is considerable. The colored Republicans of North Carolina are indignant. They com plain that the handful of white Re publicans in that State control the patronage, and that the negro cannot get a higher office than cleaning spit toons. This calls attention to two things, namely, the selfishness of the ite Republicans of North Carolina, l that the negro's idea of the mis- i of politics begins and ends with catching, like the drowning man, at every little straw that comes within its reach. The latest straw, at which it grasps, while struggling against the torrent of opposition to the convention, furnishes the very best evidence of the weakness of its position. The World quotes two expressions of The Darling ton News and draws an incor rect inference from them. We did say that “the sensation which the Shell manifesto promised has not yet disturbed the tranquility of the political horison,” and that “scarcely anywhere in the State has Mr. Shell’s ill-timed and ill-advised diatribe received a cordial sponse, and no where less than in Darlington County.” And at a later period The News said “The farmers of Darlington are now confronted with this question : Would it be best for the county to be represented at the farmers’ convention, or should the farmers have nothing to do with it ?” Our contempo rary cites these two expressions as illustrations, giving “a fair and exact idea of the growth of a movement, or the increase or decrease of a sentiment in favor of any particular cause’’ because one was written at a later period than the other. We fail to see it in that light, however. The quotations indicate no change of sentiment, but are in perfect harmony. The events of Monday in re gard to the call for a contention show that throughout the State there was scarcely a cordial re sponse and that in many coun ties the whole matter was treated with “contemptuous silence and inaction.” And had the editor of The World been in our town, on that day, and witnessed the ineffectual attempts to arouse enthusiasm, for or even interest in, the movement, he would have agreed w-ith.us in saying, as we did some time ago, that the man ifesto was received no where less cordially than in Darlington. We believe him to be a fair- minded man, and ng better evi dence could have been wanted to convince him. But where was there any dication of a change of senti ment, when we said that “the farmers of Darlington are now confronted with the question : Whether it would be best for the county to be represented at the farmers’ convention or should the farmers have nothing to do with it?” The question was put to the farmers, but not of their own volition. The ques tion was actually made, but by Mr. Shell himself, and it was thrust upon them whether or no It certainly does not indicate that there was any change of sentiment because we stated the simple fact that the farmers were confronted with a question, w hich had been point blank ad dressed to them. It is very evi dent that our contemporary has reckoned with very poor judg ment, forone may be confronted with a question and yet f emain inactive. The World is making a moun tain out of a very small mole hill, but if this morsel, which it is so eagerly masticating, can afford it a crumb of comfort, why, then, our esteemed contem porary is thrice welcome to it. cases in court, lay aside his bu siness only for a few minutes and vote.

Let us present ? solid pha lanx and the victory is ours and, then, a great and glorious fu ture will be ensured our dear old town. Wasluiurton Letter, [From Our Regular Correapondeut.] Washington, D. C., Feb. 28, 1890. Secretary Windom is having a hard time just now owing to the pressure that the friends of a number of the bidders for the privilege of taking Seals for twenty years are bringing to bear upon him to decide in their favor, and the air is full of sto ries connecting various members of the administration and other promi.^nt Republicans with one or the other of the bidders. The matter is under the law left entirely to the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, so that Mr. Windom may, if he sees fit, give the privilege to the bidder that offers the smallest sum. As the privilege has been worth more than a million a year in net profits for the past twenty years it is not strange that there should be lid not Carr. [Cheraw Reporter.] The Dariington correspondent of the News and Courier of the 24tfcsays: that Sheriff Cole has mred the thief who stole Mr. C. Ervin’s horse and buggy about ten weeks ago, and adds that “this successful piece of careful detective work again re fleets great credit upon our Sher iff.” It certainly would have re flected great credit on Sheriff Cole had he captured Henry Carr, the thief who stole the horse and buggy belonging to Mr. Ervin, but the only difficulty is Sheriff Cole did not capture him. All the labor of working up the case was done by deputy sheriff E. M. Wells, of Cheraw. On January 13th, Henry Carr came to Cheraw with a fine horse and buggy, which he said he had bought, but Mr. Wells, knowing that Carr never had any money, suspected immdiate- ly that the horse had been stolen, and began to shadow Carr’s movements. \ Patiently and secretly Mr. Wells did some fine detective work during the six weeks which elapsed betwen the time that the horse and buggy was stolen and last week, when Mr. Ervin came to Cheraw' and got his horse and buggy. Mr. Wells then captured Carr, who* was loafing about town, and sent him down to Darlington last Satur day. So it will be seen that Sheriff Cole had nothing what ever to do w-ith the capture of the thief, but the whole credit is due to Mr. Wells. And by the way it would be well to remark here that Mr. Wells has always had the reputation of being a first rate detective officer, and, this fine work which he has just accomplished, is only one of his many skillful feats in that line. struggle to obtain it, and trouble may be looked for from the disappointed bidders when the award is made. Senator Call found it necessary to show up Senator Chandler and his peculiar methods when deal ing with Southern matters in the Senate this week, and unfor tunately was compelled by truth that was slight- to use language t ly unparliamentary. Mr. Call’s language was blamable, but the provocation was certainly great enough to make it excusable. Rules cannot be made by gen tlemen that will be suitable in dealing with such characters as Senator Chandler. So uncertain are the Republi cans about their tariff bill that it is impossible to get them to talk about it. It is not even considered certain now that the tobacco tax is to go, and the committee is said to be hopeless ly divided in sentiment as to what, if any, reduction shall be made in the tariff on sugar The bill, which is now promised by the middle of March, will consist of compromises all through.

To-morrow will probably be the most eventful day of the year for Darlington, because then it will be decided whether the town is to be born again into a new life of vigorous growth, such as alone can bring contin ued wealth and prosperity to a people, or whether the town shall take a backward step and lapse into a stage of business lethargy, that will oppress us ith its monotony and will They th x> settle tben< the the restraint.

They have gained a vic tory that reflects great credit upon them, but after all the ac tion of the House is not final and it is considered extremely doubtful whether the Senate will pass the bill as it is. Many sen ators have expressed themselves as thinking the time entirely too short to get up a creditable ex position. Public sentiment here is in favor of the Senate’s passing the bill as it is and iting to Chicago enterprise to ready in time. The City of Darlington. [Charleston World February 24.] Mr. C. S. Nettles, of Darlington, is in the city. He brings an en couraging report of the condition of that charming town. The farmers, the, “back bone” of the country, were fearful earlier in the season that this would be a disastrous year. The crops iromised almost nothing. Dar- ington county was thought to lave suffered as much as any county in the state, but as the harvest is over, and the returns have come in, there is consider able surprise for the fanners and merchants both. The yield was much better than was anticipa ted and all claims will be met and a little balance left over for the farmer to educate his child ren and provide his home with comforts. The merchants are doing well, and are encouraged by the sit uation. While in nearly every other town and city in the sur rounding county there have been one or more failures, Darlington has chronicled not one. Busi ness, Mr. Nettles thinks, is on a more substantial basis than it has ever been before. Real es tate has been selling for good prices and a great deal of prop erty of this kind has changed hands recently. There is also a great deal of building in progress in Darlington. Some very fine residences and stores have re cently been erected in Darlington and the style of architecture has been greatly improved.
