C Up to the 20th inst. there bad. been registered in, York county 1,371 whites and 1,351 blacks; a majority of 20 in 1Javor of the whites. Tfie collections of tbe County Treas urer of Anderson ibis month will not . amount to more than half what tbey '; did for the corresponding month last ^I'Jear.:.; The; General Conference of the Methodist Church decided not to elect a Bishop in tbe place of Atticus G. Haygood, who declined. There will, therefore, be only four new Bishops. Tbe Sultan has refused to permit He brew exiles from Russia to make settle ments in Palestine. Two hundred Jewish frmilies are on the verge of star ovation in Constantinople. We believe from all the indications that in the coming extra session of the Legislature there will be a strong effort to go beyond the special business. There will doubtless be a disposition .^ to1 divide some of the counties.? ^ (hjait^ehuTi^ Tunes and Democrat. The deadlock was continued in the House Saturday oveF the contested elec tion case. A resolution was expected to come up yesterday to prevent more than two dilatory motions on a question of. privilege,. which the Republicans will attempt to pass and. then under v that rule dispose of the election case. ' 1,164 additional spindles, with the accompanying machinery, were recent ly put io the Rock Hill Factory. The total number of spindles now in -the ?m 1*7,904. Its capacity is 12 000. The balance will be added as soon as practicable. -.; Louisville has been selected as the : headquarters of the Supreme Lodge '"Knights of Honor, and Supreme Treas ? urer R J. Breekinridge, of Spring -fieldi'Ky., and Supreme Reporter B. j- .Nelson of Wooster Ohio, bare been 'ordered to remove their offices to that - eiiy. 5^; The Normal Instfrsfce^ror colored teachers has^e^arfanged by Col. H. ^SrTnouTpion to meet in Columbia in July. The colored people of that city have arranged for cheap boarding, and everything will be done for the comfort of the visiting teachers. We hope tbe colored teachers will make an effort to attend this Institute. It will do them good and will repay for the small ex pense and trouble. Circulars from the National Republi can Congressional Campaign Committee were recieved by employees at the Cap itol last Saturday in which each em poly ee is informed that he will be ex pected to contribute 2 per cent, of his annual salary towards the campaign fond which* is to be used next fall. These circulars impose an assessment of $25 on each doorkeeper aod about $10 on the page boys. Ainotber county paper is likely to be bom. A prospectus is out setting forth that the Berkley County Gazette will be issued shortly, with headquar ters at Mt. Pleasant. It will be a 6 or 7 column weekly, at ?2 per year, and published By Mr.~ H. D. Bicaise, of % Charleston.' Berkley County is the liew County, taking in Christ's Church PajFfsh and adjoining islands. Col. T. S. Farrow has sold the Spar tanburg Herald to Mr. Daniel, his former partner, and purchased an ^ interest in the 'Gaffney Carolin iam.' . The Colonel goes to Gaffhey to work up J a new County, of which Gaffhey is to be the County seat and also to advocate greater railroad facilities for that grow ing town. If untiring work and'fine tact will make Gaffoey a big and pros perous place Col. Farrow is the man to wboof it up. Ex-Governor D. H. Chamberlain, of South Carolina, and his-wife, have sail ed for Europe. They will go almost directly to Paris for medical treatment The Governor's maladies, which bare \ \ now'become so serious, date back to his anxious and exhausting public duties in South Carolina in 1876. The nervous troubles which were then developed now- threaten paralysis and bis physi cians have prescribed a year of absolute rest aod treatment, which he will spend within easy reach of Paris as a medical resort. With due care and treatment he is promised complete res toration of health. Professor Soldan will visit Europe this Summer, and will not be able to preside over the State Normal Insti tute to be held to Cclumbiajo August. His abscence will be much regretted. But Colonel Thompson has secured the services of Hon. M. A. Newell, LL. JX, State Superintendent of Maryland, and one of the best school men in the United States. Dr. Newell is an Englishman by birth. He .has conduct ed institutes both in Virginia and North Carolina with great success. He is genial in manners and has a very peasant and attractive address, and no aoubt will make quite a favorable im pression. Arrangements have been made in Columbia for about two hun dred and fifty teachers at four dollars a week board.. A meeting of the trustees of the Slater Fund took place on Thursday of last week at 62 William street in New York. There were present ex-Presi dent Hayes, president of the board, Chief Justice Waite, M K. Jessup, % J. A. Stewart, Governor Colquitt, Dr. Boyce, President Gilmore of tfya John Hopkins-University, W. Slater, and John F. Slater the founder of the Fund. The remainder of the money was turned #ver to tbe trustees, and the Executive Committee were authorized to invest it at their discretion and the sanction of the donor. The committee do not pro pose to establish any special institu tions, but apply the funds through those already existing. Nothing, bow ever, can be done under six months, when tbe first interest becomes due. The trustees will hold their annual meeting in New York the first Thurs day in October. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION We would call attention to tbe notice of the Democratic Executive Committee, of the meeting of tbe County Democrat ic Convention on tbe 26tb of June. It appears from this call that re-organiza tions of clubs are not now necessary; but that every club must meet and elect delegates to the Connty Convention, upon the basis of representation of the clubs of 1880. By this we understand that each elub will send up the same number of delegates which it did to tbe Convention of 1880, and that tbe fact of registration or non-registration is not to be considered in the question of the number of delegates eaeh club will be entitled to. This question, of course, the Committee have nothing to do with, but the Convention will have to consid er aod determine whether any one can be a member of a Democratic Club, or take any part in the coming campaign who does not register. If a man neg lects to register he puts himself square- j ly upon the record that he does not intend to vote, and this means, if he is a democrat, that he does not care if tbe j Republican rule of 1370 is again im posed upon Sumter County. Tbe State ( will certainly be right in November, j If Somter County is then found to be wanting, there will be a.fearful respon sibility upon those who deserted her in , the hour of direst need. Last week a negro fellow by the name J 3f Reed carried a petition around, asking 1 tbe citizens to sign it, which was to be forwarded to tbe President, requesting aim to oust Mr. Whitemore, our post- , master, in his favor; although Mr. '. Whitemore had but recently, while Irunk, made himself odious by publicly ' jursing Sooth Carolina and the Demo- ( jrats, our citizens were indignant at :his insulting piece of effrontery on the i part of Reed. Miss Mayes, of Mayesville, an efii- ] :ient and popular postmistress tbe other > lay was turned out, and an ignorant aegro installed in her place. Going i From local to national affairs, we see j the Republicans are about to seat Mackey by fraud, recognized by them is sucb, openly and above board. Why not then, South Carolinians, wake up from your apathy and register,- ^nd ; put the Stateinjhe- -hands of honest | ind^u^>?g^men ? j The Radicals of this State are estima ting tbeir political success this fall upon the hope of disagreement among tbe ; Democrats by reason of some of them 1 disapproving of tbe Stock ?nd Registra- 1 tion law, and think that many will show their contempt for the latter by not meeting its simple requirements, con- i sequentiy strengthening the Republi- 1 :ans who are registering to a man But 1 we hope they will be disappointed in '. tbeir calculations, and that no true 1 citizen who loves virtue and honesty, : ind takes no stock in public robbery. 1 ind tbe vile and rotten rule of radical- j ism, will be so foolish as not to register simply because he thinks it detracts ; Prom his freedom to have a "pas3," as some term it, before he can vote. We direct special attention to the < article in this issue which so handsome- < iy nominates Capt. Wm. E. Stooey, of j1 Columbia, for the position of Comptrol- 1 [er General. , Capt. Stoney, we have no doubt, < would please tbe people and fill the posi- > tion to which be has been nominated, ' with much honor and dignity, and if ( the Democratic State Convention which meets in Columbia on the first of August i recognizes his merits and sees fit to 1 place him as Comptroller Geueral , upon the ticket, it will give our cor respondent pleasure in knowing that he , bit the nail on the head in nominat- i ing the right man at the right time. 1 During the several years of service io the Comptroller's office. Capt. Stongy has shown conclusively his eminent fit ness for the place. Polite and urbane in manner, obliging and gentlemanly in his effort to accommodate those needing his services, we have everj reason to say that to those who know bim there could be no more acceptable nomination. Aud we know from experience tbat the above qualifications are necessary in a public offieer. The Assessment of Property. Tbe Comptroller General has issued a circu lar to County Auditors instructing them as to their duties io the assessmeot of property. Under the law a new assessment of real pro perty is requiered to be made io 1882 and in every fourth year thereafter; at tbe same time the assessment of personal property, is made. By the Act of February 9, 1382, the poll tax applies only to persons between the ages of 21 and 50 years; taxes are made the unquestionable first lien; all property re turned delinquent will be first offereed for lease, and three intelligent and discreet free holders in each township of a county are to be appointed a township board of as??s8ors to assess the value of such property and report to tbe Auditor, putting their valuation at the usual letting price on the usual terms of similar lands in their township at sales for partition under order of court. If dissatisfied with tbeir assessment the owners have the right of appeal to the County Board of Equalization. There has been no change in the method of assessing personal property. The Auditor of this County not being in possession of the Act above referred to, was not aware of tbe above facts until tbe circular of the Comptroller General was received a few days ago. Whether be will be able to get tbe necessary blanks io time to meet his appointments as advertised., is not yet known, until a reply is received from the Comptroller General. . THE MALLET TRIAL. -o It is now doubtful whether Walter aod James Malley, now on trial at New Raven, Coon.,, will be convicted of the murder of Jennie Cramer. Tbe defenoe iff trying to prove an 'alibC and tbe case has been so skillfully managed that there is even a doubt* as to whether they were with her on the fatal night aod whether she was really murdered at all. Bat there was foul play somewhere to gratify beastly lust, aod whether or not the necessary evidence which should adjust the hangman's noose around the necks of the Malley boys and Blaoche Doug lass fails to be established, the public will always believe that they deliberate ly planned to rob the poor girl of her virtue, and on accomplishing it, they pot her out of the way. Tbe trial itself has been horrible. Evidence of the most delicate and most vulgar nature has been introduced for tbe audience to gloat upon and relish. The girl's dead body, with the ghastly history which lust, outrage and murder imprinted upon its tissues, was, as one might say, dragged into Court, anato mized, examined, analyzed as in the presence of a medical class. The coarse jests and vicious conduct of ill-famed houses, the talk of tbe brutes and their paramour then on trial afford much en tertainment to the crowd of men and women who, according to the newspa per accounts, flock to tbe court room as to the newest theatrical piece or the latest, comic opera. Even tbe Judge, the other day, lost patience at the cold blooded flippancy of tbe audience and rebuked them. And now with the Malleys' and Blanche Douglass' escape from an apparently deserved punish ment, tbe whole affair is forlorn and re pulsive, and ends in mockery and vapid trifling, a sad and pathetic tragedy. Mackey vs. Dibble. The Democrats in tbe House have determined unanimously to stand by Mr. Dibble's rights to the utmost of their ability. It is understood that not a member of the caucus was in favor of allowing the Republicans to carry Dut their conspiracy. Even those who were indifferent before were eager to meet the issue forced upon them by the majority of tbe Elections Committee, io their action on Monday of last week. The differences were only of details. There was cnthosiasm in tbe cause. Information reached the caucus that, in recent Republican caucuses, it was de termined to oust Dibble, Finley and Wheeler this session, in the order named sandwiching each case between appropriation bills. The Democrats will spoil this game. The Republicans must back^dow'fr ewfight. it out on this summer, for the" Democrats bave shown in their action so far that they mean to stand by their caucus de termination, and tbe Republicans find little to cheer and encourage them in their utter failure to carry out their ne farious scheme. The Democrats Very properly refuse to discuss the case until the charges of fraud againstMack sy are investigated. Their position has been tersely explained as follows: 'There are two questions involved?first, the forgery of the testimony and. second tbe right to the seat. Under tbe rules of House if theDemocrats con sent to tbe consideration of the case tbe Repulieaos will seat Mackey by a party vote without investigating tbe forgery. The Demorats are ready to consider appropriation bills and other public business, but will not consent to try this case until full investigation of the j forgery is had.' FOR COMPTROLLER GENERAL. Messrs Editors: As tbe time is rapidly ap proaching for the session of our Democratic State Convention, vre beg to present jpr tbe :onsideration of that honorable body' tbe aame of Capt. WM; E. STONEY in connec tion with tbe office of Comptroller General. We would not claim anything for him on account of his gallant conduct during the war, though his wounds could speak eloquent ly in his behalf. Wilh oar people such con tact was the role and not the exception. If we refer to it, it is simply as of an instance of ?uty well performed. Knowing this gentleman's character and ability we pot him upon' bis merits, as a citi zen in every respect worthy of the high posi tion to which we nominate him. Already well informed as to its duties, he would bring to tbe office the purity and steadiness of princi ple, the high intelligence, and the clearness and eractness of a mind well disciplined by education, insuring a successful administra tion thereof, which would be rendered still more acceptable by his unassuming dignity and pleasant manners.
