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.

"A philosophy for dogs" is what Carlyle
pronounced one of Prof. Tyndall'S carefully
prepared lectures. He said it with a dis
dainful snort, too. When eminent authorities |
like these d:s:igree, you cannot blame the
public for being chary in the premises; but
when from all sides a subject is showered
with universal commendation, it is becoming
in you to he of a similar mind. It would re
quire columns to merely note the many
eminent sources from whence have come
praises of Dr Westmoreland'sCalis?yaTome.
