jjg WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21. Entered, at the Pott Office at Susnter, S. &^&.&c<mJ Class Matter. The SuaoUer Watchman was founded in I860 and tfc- True Southron in 1866. The Watcfy?ian and Sovthron now has UiVeoSwned circulation and influence ol: both of the old papers, and is mani festly the best advertising medium in S s?? ter. SCARBOROUGH VS. ABBOTT. Oar correspondent,44 J. J. D.* in his communication in the last issue of the Watchman and Sottthron, was in error ira stating that the Supreme Court had decided that the Board of State Can vassers was "right" in "awarding the Certificate of Election to Mr. Abbott. That- qoesfciou was not before the Court; mad the merits of the contest were in no wise involved in these pro ceedings. The single question there was &s to the power and Jurisdiction of the Board of State Canvassers to pass apon a contest' for membership in the General Assembly, that power, by the express terms of the Constitution being vested in the Senate and House of Rep resentatives respectively. The Court simply decided that the Board had, in the . first instance, such power and jurisdiction, thereby over ruling its former decision, in Ex parte Mackey, 15th South Carolina Reports bat the Court did not undertake to de cide whether Mr. Scarborough or Mr. Abbott was entitled to the Certificate or the seat. "THAT LEPROSY." The unfortunate developments in re lation to the deficit of nearly $2,000 in the late Adjutant General M. L. Bon ham's account, have been a great sur prise atd shock to the people of Our State. Gen. Bonham's explanation -does not explain. Es should never :-<< have flowed the matter to come to a public exposure. Knowing, as he did, that the matter mud come to a head sooner op later, he ooght to have pro* vided himself with,the means of meeting it at all hazards. He ooght never to ~[~ have used any of the money, in the first place. That was the fatal first step that made every subsequent step easier. Bat, having used it, he should have pre wrreo to go to bis friends, and reveal the state of the case to them, and secure their aid, rather than wait until silence was no.longer possible on the part of his successor in office. Men of the dominant faction will have some color of ground" now for some of | their Barges. ?f course they will, being human, make the most of this an fortunate afiair. Properly speaking, ao honorable meg; - Tillmanitc or not, is concerned in, -Or affected by these* devel opment?-except that he is sorry that .any hitherto trusted and high-minded man bas fatleo. It does not reflect on the aristocracy,v nor on" the "late ad ministrat:oo,rexcept *n so far as the indi vidual efficer is concerned who has made the bad break. Efforts aad insinuations have been made to show that affairs bad not been properly conducted ia various departments of the late administration, bat unsuccessfully. Had there been any eggs in the * 'mare's nests," we may be sure 6ov. Tillmao would have had them in bis incubator loog since, and that by now they would bave been hatched oat and pronounced leviathans, behemoths, aod sea serpents. The facta in the case seem to be sim ply these, viz:. That Gen. Ben h am sent oat to varions captains of companies throughout the State checks for the sums apportioned to their respective com mands. . When these checks were pre sented, there was no money to meet them, aad they were either protested by the banks, or were, withdraw i and in quiry instituted as to : he ean<e of non payment. The final resuit has been that relatives of Gen. Bouham were summocec to his aid, and arrangements are a?akiog or have been made where by the deficit will be made up, and the State suffer no pecuniary loss. THE FORCE BILL AND "CLOTURE." The national Republican party in its dying agonie? is engaged ia the worst business that has ever occupied its at tention. A bill of the character of the Force bill, especially when looked at in the light of the motives act ia; in g those who desire to have it become a law, is an engine of harm and disaster than which none more subversive of the principles of republican government ean be conceived. Universal suffrage is a privilege to be safely entrusted only to those who bave education suf ficient to appreciate what it meaos, aod who aise bave the good of tbe couDtry and her institutions at heart. To con stitute them voters wbo possess neither of these qualifications, is to place into the hands of fools political dynamite, an engine of indiscriminate destruction. The proper way to accomplish the ends professed to be desired by the promoters of this bill, is to go to work aod qualify the suffrage?take it away from those who are unfit to exercise it. The whole trouble bas arisen from the effort twenty-two years ago to punish the Sooth by forcing on her as political masters the late slaves. That first wrongest step has necessarily all the fabs<quent wrong steps along the same foe. Rather than admit their original fin, the republican party has gone on deeper and deeper into the mud. until tr.tf it is no?adcring neck deep in the sUcgh of despond, and it looks as if j in ihtir def-jxratitn thty were raohed ] to hold oa to this latest idol, even if it sinks them forever oat of sight. We would not cry if it should come to that. We think it would be only getting its just deserts, in view of the many politi cal monstrosities it has foisted or en deavored to foist on the people of fbese United States. . But we have this to say, that no legislation of this sort, even supported . by bayonets, will ac complish what its promoters expect and desire. Tbe people of this country will not submit to it. Their eyes are opened, and they will, at the next election, set the seal of their condemnation on these men and their measures. The force bill is a patent political expedient to keep the republican party in power. If we mistake not the animus of the American people, it is going to have exactly the contrary effect. Tbe "cl?ture" role is now being sought to be put into operation,.cutting off debate and bringing, tbe bill to a vote. This is of a piece with the other. ; Let them crowd " on* all sails now, and beach their craft so high and dry that no tide will ever again be able to float it. It will serve as a moral object lesson, a warning to future gen erations of legislators, whose hearts hot with sectional hate, recklessly rush on to their ruin, blinded by that mad ness with which they are always smit ten whom tbe gods wish to destroy. AST HONOR TO HIS COUNTY. Mr. Frank Melfett, of Sumter, a member of the House of Representa tives, who was unseated because he wonld not vote against the soldier and statesman, Wade Hampton, spent yesterday in the city. He was elected as'the regular Democratic candidate, and was counted ont in favor of an Ind?pendant, who was in sympathy with "the powers that be." Mr. Mellett is | a man of such character and ability, however, that his county will yet de light to do him honor. He reports the crops in Sumter to have, turned out well, and says there is a cheerful outlook in tbe middle section of the State for the farmers ?Netts and Courier. The same kind words can be said for Mr. A. K. Sanders, who has long been an honored democrat in Summer County. He received only a few votes less than Hon. Altamont Moses, who headed the ticket for the House in the last election, but bad to -step down and out in op position to the express wishes of an overwhelming majority of the people of the county because he would not prostitute himself to the purposes of! the caucus and vote agaiust Wade ! Hampton.. DUAL^OTEENMENT IN NE BRASKA. ' From all accounts affairs in Nebraska seem to be badly mixed. She now has two Governors?each claiming to be the rightful incumbent. One is entrenched in one end of the Capitol and the other holds the fort in the op posite wing. Each is attempting to run the government and has his own Adju tant General an j the militia on guard near the frontier to keep off the Indians The Democrats had elected their Gov ernor on the face of the returns, but the Republicans had elected the re mainder of the ticket. The Alliance on the other hand claimed, and en deavored to deprive the Democrats of the Governor and the Republicans 0/ the other State imeers. Such scenes have transpired in the proceedings of the L?gislature as wero witnessed in the days of tbe Wallace and Mackey Houses of 1876. Attempts were made to prevent the Lieutenant Governor from discharging his duties as presid ing officer of the joint Assembly, the occupation of the Hall of Representa tives bv the Alliance, and the process of the Supreme Court served through force on the Alliance Speaker. (From oar-Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON LETTER. W^shisgton, D. C., Jan. 19, 1891. Mr. Hartison has succeeded by per suasion, bull-dozing and promise of patronage in getting the republican Seuators to make a last desperate effort to perpetuate the power of the republi can party by passing the Force bill, and tbe fight is now on, which is to result either in striking a deadly blow at the iiberty of the American citizen, by tbe passage of a measure without a parallel m American aunals, or in the final defeat of tbe bill. Finding it impossible to unite the republican Senators in support of the revolutionary gag rule proposed by Senator Aidrich, the republicans have adopted the tiring out process, and hope by a continuous night and day session of tbe Senate to succeed in compelling tbe democrats to accede, to a vote ou tbe bill. This, it is not believed, they can do. The 'session which began last Friday morning has been in continuous session ever since, except on Suuday, and is to coutinue until the republicans tire of it or suc ceed. Tbe democrats are making a grand 6ghr in talking against time and express con6deuce of b?iug able to win. How the democratic Senators feel in this matter may be judged fioui the fallowing extract from a speech of Senator Reagan, which reflects the sentiments of his democratic colleagues, and shows that they will never willingly sorreuder: *'As dear as my life is to me, as God is my Judge, if I could save the American p<ople from the pending measure by giving up my life, I would surrender it as freely as 1 ever performed any act of my life." It ! was an imposing sight to see Senator j Reagan as he stood, every feature { showing bis earnestne.-s and sincerity, and spoke these woid*, and it was not surprising that they were greeted by an outburst of deafening applause from the galleries, which Mr. Morton was quick j to reprove by threatening to have the j galleries cleared j ^'.Senator Stewart on Saturday gave notice of a motion to recommit the election bill with instructions to the committee to report it back with a provision for the election of members of Congress on days when no other ?lec tions arc held iu the several states ; and this motion may be made the excuse for getting rid of the bill quietly when the republicans discover their inability to pass it, for if it is recommitted to the committee it will never get before the Senate again. Notwithstanding their having made speeches against the Force bill Senators Teller, Wolcott and Stewart are now acting with and voting with their repub lican colleagues in their efforts to pass the bill. This is significant, inas much as it shows that the democrats need expect no help from republicans in defeating the bill. Mr. Harrison's henchmen are now trying to prevent the passage of Senator Vest's free eoinage bill, which was adopted last week by tbe Senate as a substitute for that hodge-podge of absurdities known as the republican caucus financial bill, by the House committee on Coinage, is in far more danger from Speaker Reed's opposi tion than it is from a Presidential veto Reed has the audacity and the nerve to resort to any methods to defeat it, and if he doesn't attempt to do so it will only be because he prefers seeing Mr. Harrison, whom he dislikes very much, weaken and sign it, as t believe he will, if it passes the House. Mr. Harrison has made threats before, but his spinal column has always wilted when the time came to carry them out. Another erstwhile quite prominent republican is in the toils of the law. W. P. Canaday ; who for many years, because of his abiiity to control the North Carolina delegation to republi can national conventions, held the posi tion of Sergeant-at-Arsns of the United States Senate, has been arrested for obtaining money under false pretenses And ye gods, how cheap be sold his character. The amount bo obtained on a worthless check was just ?35. Some startling exposures will shortly be made by the House committee which is investigating the silver pool charges, unless the witnesses, among_whorn are Senator Stewart and Journal Clerk Smith of the House, shall refuse to tell the committee what they are alleged to have told to private parties. The democratic leaders of the House are carefully watching the proceedings in the Senate and should the Force bill pass that body they are prepared to make a desperate fight on it in the House when it goes there for concur rence in the Senate amendments. Senator Quay has taken the trouble to deny the rumor that he intended re signing bis peat in the Senate. It was entirely unnecessary. Everybody knows that be isn't one of the resigning kind. The House Committee on the World's Fair think the officials connected with that concern are drawing too much money and recommends a cut in sal aries.
