The watchman and southron. (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, March 28, 1888, Image 2
WfiDS?SDAY, MARCH 2S.
The Sumter Watchman was founded
in 1850 and the True Southron in 1866.
The Watchman and Soidhraa now has
the combined circulation-and influence
of both ef the old papers, and i's mani?
festly the best advertising m?dium in
Swater
Attention Advertisers.
The Watclifiian and Southron will
"hereafter be published on Wednesday,
and advertisements should be sent in
not later than Tuesday afternoon.
Changes of contract advertisements mast
be made Monday morning.
s? It ia never wise for asy paper to shape pub
!fo opinion as to the nomination of candidates^
It should be wisely left to the people to dis?
charge that doty themselves. Let public opin?
ion crystallise itself according to the peculiar
circumstances st the time and compatible with
the exigences that are likely to arise ; and
With peculiar force this ought to apply in our
municipal election, in whieh the Question of
politics, race, or previoas condition should
never be injected, hut the only question that
ought te be considered is the quality of the
ticket to be agreed upon by the citizens of our
city. want the best mea that can be
named. Sen who will inspire the confidence
and command the unbounded respect not only
of the citizens-of th? municipality but of the
entire State. Let this guarantee be given
and no objections can possibly be made to a
ticket with such men on rt.
? There is no necessity for a furor in this
election, and there ought not to be any. it
ema be avoided very easHy, If oar best citi
seas, if all our merchant? and other leading
men, will unanimously agree upon and have
only one ticket out that all of the citizens
of Sumter can uncompromisingly indorse and
Support. Uut of the many good mea io this
city it does seem possible that this result can
be very happily and easily accomplished. The
very fact that there may be a disposition
to run another ticket shows that there is some
Tesson, either real or imaginary, fer doing so.
Kow, what are the reasons? Let the com?
plaints b? heard, and the true interests aad >
wishes of the citizens of Sumter be consid?
ered in the nomination of cur municipal
.ticket. None could ask for more, and none
should be satisfied with le33 than such a
coarse will guaran tee to all.
The nominees for Mayor and Aldermen
should be practical men, men of stability,
men who regard Sumter as home, and men
of unimpeachable character. All of these
qualities are indispensable. Now, let the
people of Sumter choose whom they may,
providing they possess these qualities, and all
W?I be well ic our municipal election.
HEN DO YOUR DUTY.
At 12 o'clock on next Tuesday there will
be held in Music Ball a Magg Meeting for tbe
parp?se of nominating a Mayor and four Al?
dermen, to whom the important affairs of our
city are to be intrusted for the next two years.
This will be a most important meeting, and
every true and good citizen is expectd to be
present and assist in selecting the most
available and best men for Mayor and Alder- j
asen.
300 whites to 240 colored hare registered.
"United we stand, divided we fall," and fall
we will in this election unless we unite as one
man and settle upon a ticket that uone can
reasonably say a word against. This can be
done and it ought to be d^ne for the sake of
the prosperity of Sumter, for the interest,of
which and not that of A. B. or C. our citizens
should assemble on next Tuesday and name a
ticket.
Sumter expects every man to do his whole
ftnty on that day.
CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE'S SUC
*. CESSOB.
President Cleveland is agaia called upon to
SU s vacancy on the Supreme Bench of the
United Sutes caused by the death of Chief
Justice Waite, ia whose decease the Republi?
can party bas lost another representative in
the highest tribunal in the land, and the Dem?
ocratic party will gain another Who will be
Chief Justice Waite's successor it would be
fstite to speculate st present, bat there are
plenty of good and true Democrats of unques?
tioned integrity and whose large legal attain,
meets pre-eminently qualify them for the
lofty position ; and there is every reason to
believe'that President Cleveland will in due
time act in this case as be did ia the nomina?
tion of Lamar.
It is true there is a Republican majority in
the Senate, but there are signs of a general j
breaking away from partizaa lines and polit.
Seal traditions and both Democratic and Re?
publican Justices cac be expected to advocate
the true construction of all constitutional
?questions submitted in litigation for their ju?
dicial consideration, and therefore there is no j
good reason why the Senate should in this
ease make a bitter fight over the forthcoming
aominatian by President Cleveland for tbe
position. To draw party lines and refuse to
confirm a good man simply because be is a
Democrat would be poor statesmanship, and !
would certainly be contemptible political cap- !
ital for the Republican party. 11.should be j
the boast of any government that there is not
the slightest tincture of partizanship on the
Supreme Bench. For otherwise the true !
principles of law wouid al wa} s be sn jeopardy j
and the true interests of the country at large i
sacrificed for party purposes.
This xs a Democratic administration, and j
as a matter of course Chirf Justice? Waite's j
Successor should be a typical Amenoso, one !
Of honor, integrity and of such qualifications !
SS will inspire the confidence and respect of li
both parties.
"EASTER. !
Next Sunday will be Easter-day, the most !
joyous of all the festivities. Not specially ob- j
served by most of the Protestant Churches, ?
yet tts observance by about nine-tenths of all j
the Christians in the world, makes it a nota- i
ble day even with the remaining tenth, for all |
seem to rejoice wheo the day comes on which
the salutation, "The Lord is risen !" and the i
answer, "He is risen indeed!" are flashed
* t
around the inhabited earth ia divers tongues- :
indeed but with a single heart of joy.
The principle of observing great days in a
nation's history is too firmly established now ;
to admit of question. Indeed such a com- |
memoration wa3 enjoined by .Moses, as the
mouthpiece of God, on all Israel, when the j
Fassover was instituted, so that it would ap- j
pear eminently proper and right to cominero- '
orate the fact that '"Christ our Passover is sac- j
rificed for us" ; and to urge, as the Apostle !
urged the Christians of his day, "therefore
let us keep the feast." Right and proper, be- .
cause :n celebrating this feast, we are making
a memorial of the world's redemption from a !
slavery fur worse and more corrupting than ;
that endured ty Israel in Egypt.
The word East*r means "rising." Tbe time !
of its observance synchonizes more or less j
nearry with the coming cf Spring, and sug?
gests to the Christian thai as he sees ali nature
waking up from the death-like sleeep of win?
ter, so should he arise from the death of sin
to the life of righteousness.
The resurrection "is in truth the key, doc?
trinally, to our faith; liturgically, to our
worship; practically, to our life." Religion,
before thai time, carried men to the sepulchre,
but it could not roll away the stone, or teil
one word about what was beyond. Since
that day of unearthly light, that first Easter
day, the once darkest spots of earth, its places
of burial, are the brightest, because we. are
certified by the resurrection of Christ that we
too shall rise when the Almighty's omnific
voice shall call us forth from the grave.
What has come to the world ia the wake of
Christianity-its historical effects upon mer,
and manners, and morals, is quite enough to
dispose all men to celebrate so significant an
event as the resumption, even if they canoot
Fook upon it as a cardinal fact of religion,
because they are all partakers of the benefits
of that civilization, and that order of things,
which, without doubt, came in with Chris?
tianity. The dull and leaden eye of the
rationalist may not see in it all more than the
sequence of secondary causee and tSects : the
sort of men uncomptimentarily designated
'-fools" by the Psalmist of israel, who say in
their b??rt "there is no God," may refuse to
see anything in it, as is perfectly natural to
such as they ; tut the fair unprejudiced mind
gladly sees and confesses the immense signi?
ficance of the event celebrated at Eastertide,
and rejoices accordingly.
The day of resurrection 1 Earth tell it out
abroad 1
The Passover of gladness, the Passover of
God!
From death to life eternal, from this world to
the sky,
Our Christ hath brought us over, with bymn3
of victory.
Now let the heavens be joyful, let earth ber
song begin !'
Let the round world keep triumph, and'all
that is therein I
Invisible and visible, their notes let all things
blend,
For Christ the Lord hath risen, our joy that
bath no end.
The farmers of Sumter County are busy
-making preparations for another crop and
are thinking more about planting cotton and
corn than of who will be our nominees for
State and County offices, but we know that
fhey will feel sufficient interest ia tbe nom?
inations to attend their township meetings
and County Convention, and elect delegates
to the State and other Conventions who will
truly represent their interests and wishes.
The Three C's Eailroad
There will be an important meeting of
the directors of the 3C's Railroad, at the
office No. 45 Broadway,, N. Y. to-day. The
meeting was to haTe been held last Tuesday
i3th inst., but the great storm prevented the
directors from assembling. The only South?
ern director present was Col. J. D. Blauding,
of Sumter, S. C., and he faced all the terrors
of tbe blizzard to get there. It was arranged .
that the meeting should be held in New York '
to-dayr and Col. Blanding remained, there to
attend it. Following this meeline will come
one of the stockholders to be held en the 27th'
inst., at the Grand Central Hotel in Columbia.
It is evident some important movement is
on foot, but just what its exact nature xs, the
reporter cocld not learn. It is understood,
however, that the Three C's company has an
eye on the South Carolina road. Certain it is
that the Three C's is up to business, and will
very soon have through connection between
Charleston, Chicago and Cincinnati, only a
few gaps remaining to be filled. This is the
company through which Charlotte hopes, to
secure a Southern outlet oy the way of Lan?
caster.
We extract the above from the Charlotte,
X. C., Chronicle of March 20tb. Col. Blan?
ding returned from New York on Satarday,
went to Columbia on Monday to the meeting
of the Stockholders of the 3 C's, and has
returned to-day. He informs us that the
Stockholders confirmed the acfion of the
Directors in New York, that such action was
the perfecting beyond peradventure of all
morned arrangements and contracts for the
speedy completion of the whole railroad from
Camden to Ashland on the Ohio river, near
Cincinnati.
The SC's Railroad bas been completed from
Camden to Lancaster, and is now running
regular passenger and freight schedules to
that place.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 23, 1883.
"Cleveland and revenue reform" is the
refrain that 13 being echoed/tom one end of
the country to the other. Ex-Cougressman
Hill, of Ohio, who is in the city, says the
democrats of that state are unanimous for the
nomination of Mr. Cleveland, and that the
delegates to St. Louis will go instructed to
vote that way.
Mr. Cleveland and his policy of revenue
reform are gaining strength every day, all
over the country, and yet right here at the
Capital a handful of members of the House
of Representatives calling themselves demo?
crats have set themselves up in opposition to
the whole party and have gone deliberately
to work to prevent the passage by the House
of the Mills tariff bill, thus preventing the
party from redeeming the pledges upon which
it elected a President and hones to re-elect
him.
These men claim to represent the sentiments
of their constituent, but unless Mr. Hill who
is quoted above is wrong about the sentiment
in Uhto, the members from tbat state who
have joined hands with Mr. Randall, who
represents ^republican district in Pennsyl?
vania, are misrepresenting their constituents
in opposing revenue reform. The same might
be said of the Louisana members who are op?
posing the Mills tariff bill.
The republicans here are still io a demoral?
ized condition, never having recovered from
the effects o? the Blaine letter. If they do
not rally before the campaign opens they will
not fight with enough vim to make the contest
interesting.
Senator Blair, cf New Hampshire, is
though: by some to he suffering from softening
of the br*i:i. His latest crank idea is a bill
which he has introduced in the Senate pro?
posing that the ex-Confederate Soldiers and
sailors Stull have preference over ex-Confed- '
erate civilians it: appointments to civil service
positions. The bill was not asked for nor is
it wanted by anybody, but for all that its
author s motive^ in presenting it were good,
and he is a kind hearted man.
The Wars and Mrrans Comnrttee have com?
pleted the?consideration of tbe Mills tariff bill !
and before this latter is in tyne it will have
t.een reported to the House, unless tile republi?
can minority of tbut committee sha! 1 discover
.some nev. method of delny. They hare al?
ready exhausted ali that were known.
The Capitol was struck by lightning on j
Wednesday afternoon, dilling u terrific th un- j
der storm, and for a while there was great ?
excitement. Tue o a ty damage done, however, j
was to.destroythe telegraph insti u men ts in
the press <?aibn*s of both litt House and j
Senate and to kill a hor-e at the door o? the !
Senate wing.

Hon. J. T. Anderson, of Iowa, ?ho h*? j
been appointed Ass'str.nt Commissioner of ;
the General Land Olliee. was the dembcm'.?e
candidate for (i^wmor at the last Iowa sta*** !
election, and polled the ?at-j?s" vote ever
given to a democrat ?y candidate i ri that state :
lion. S. M. Stockslager who has been a?? ?
pointed Com.missioner of lue G. I> U , served
in the Forty-seventh and Forty-eight Con j
grasses. :
The bill to prevent the employment of'^iier; .
and convict i.-;t?.,r on public works has been '
passed by the House.
The Presiden; u.is sent to Congress a mm- i
mnnication from the Secretary of the interior,
with much testimony relating to a grant of j
public land to the State of Gregon for trie !
construction of wagon roads. Accompany- [
ing these documents is a message from the j
President which says : 'The present*:?on of j
the facts by the Secretary is the result of an !
examination which has developed, as it seems j
to me, the most unblushing frauds upon tlie ?
Government, which ii remaining uud?a!leng- j
ed, will divert several hundred thousand j
acres of land from the public domain, and j
from the reach of honest settlers, to those '
who Have attempted to pervert and prostitute !
the beneficent designs of the Government,
which suughi by the promise uf geucruU?
IL* VV _L ^
donations of land to promote the building of
wagon roads for public convenience and for
the purpose of encouraging settlement upon
the public lands. The roads have not vet
been built and yet an attempt is made to
claim the lands "under a title which depends
for its validity entirely upon the construction
of these roads.'7
A bill repenting these land grants and re?
storing the lands to thc public domain is rec?
ommended for immediate passage by the
President. The bill protects tbe interests of
parties who have innocently purchased land
of tbe wagon road Companies.
IN MEMOSIAM.
By the death of MR. WM. S SCARBOROUGH,
who died Jan. 25th last, (a?ed 47 years,)
this community has sustained a very great
loss of a good citizen, a kind neighbor, and
true friend ; his family, the loss of an affec?
tionate husband and father ; his aged father,
the loss of a kind and faithful soo.
Mr. Scarborough was of a retiring disposi?
tion and consequently was known and appre?
ciated most by those who were on the most
intimate terms with him.
His deeds of kindness and charity were done
in an unostentatious manner and his mem?
ory wwi long be cherished by many who were
recipients of acts of substantial aod pecuni?
ary bounty.
His bereaved famih consist of bis wife and
six children-all girls-three of them quite
small. His father is 88 years of age. A good
and true man has passed "that bourne whence
no traveller returns." A FRIEND.
