Taken as a whole, ibe alliaoce has oot Been very successful ka preserving the .eerecy of its proceedings, botone point : : in yesterday's proceedings escaped the 0 $ress till an early hoar this morning TBS* point ?as the eoinmital of the Mprt?ne council "to the third party? luovement. This came about through the adoption of a resolution offered by Jerry Simpson instructing the alliance ?Mathers ol- congress not to enter party ?aseases. Colonel Livingston, of ."' Georgia, protested against its adoption, .aying that he was elected as a deoio . erat.and proposed to act with that party whether the alliance liked'it or j INDIANAPOLIS, IND., NOV. 19-At yesterday *f session of the Alliance coon eil, among a mass of minor resolutions presented, tb ere came up something in the way of a firebrand in aseries of resolutions offered hy-Branch, dele? gate at large, from Georgia. They were political in their nature, and were the result of much consultation among ear tax s of the alliance leaders opposed ' ito -? ??rrjgsto?^ ? These resolutions .neelared that a large number of men v .had been elected to congress by alliance .voters, and demanded that they sop port no man for speaker who would not first declare for ?be alliance platform. They farther .declared it the sense of the body that these congressmen should nea?ihate.one of their own natu ber for the* speakership and stick to him. . They fart her admonished alliaocemen throughout the country to beware of committing themselves to any party in such a way as to interfere with their political freedom or of taking part with ?ea or parties not in sympathy with alliance tdeas. When they were intro? duced they were loudly cheered hy the ' eupporters of Folk. Branch asked that -they be referred to the committee on -demands, evidently knowing what the make up of tjhat committee would be. Another wore zealous delegate moved suspension of the roles io order to pot the resolutions on their passage. Liv? ingston opposed this in avery vehement ? epeech, denouncing it as a third party scheme, and said it was inspired largely bj person il enmity agaiost himself. Preside ne Polk referred the resolu? tion, and wheo the committees were an? nounced, at ?o'clock, it became evident that this committee, with Weaver, of Iowa, at the head of it, was packed with radicals. It will' undoubtedly report favorably. An attempt to make the alliance . more radical on government control of .railroad-* and telegraphs was made by a resolution introduced hy Branch, of Georgia. This resolution demands compl?te own rsbip of rail roads, w!- ile . -4he Oca la demand is for partial control, with contingent ownership if simple control ia deemed impracticable:' The resolution went to the committee on ' legislative demands, and the prospects are' that it will be favorably reported -on. This morning the sub-treasury light was the absorb?a g topic before tl: s alli? ance aod all Us kindred, organizations. It see meei very little nearer conclusion than wheo the conference first began. '"The anti sab-treasury men are active and aggressive, while the sub-treasury people'have been placed, to a large ex tee*, on the defensive. Soon after the opening of this morn? ing's executive meeting of the supreme eoancil. President Livingston, of the execotive commmittee rose and said his committee was ready to report. Instant? ly there was a disturbance. On a motion from a delegate seated on the Macone .ide of the boase, a canvass of those present was made and every one not entitled ta a vote in the executive ees ?ion was obliged to leave the hali. When, the doors bad been closed, Colonel Livingston read the recommen? dation of the committee that Dr. W. Pope Yearn3ns, author of the anti-sub . treasury protest, should have a bearing. After an acrimonious discussion word ?Tassent to the anti-sob-treasury men tosend in their protest. The an ti's replied to.tbis that their committee was -only e-m po-sered through Mr. Yearn an s to present the protest, and until Yea mans could be heard by the supreme .ebnueil. the latter body would neces? sarily be deprived of the pleasure of reading the protest. The third party junta is still vigo? rously proselyting among the delegates to the aJiiacce aod F. M. B. A. Tb is morning the work-of organization took -'" -definite shape on a joint meeting of representatives from the people's party executive committee, the alliaoce and the V. M B*. A. Taabeneck, of Illi? nois, acted as chairman, and made an earnest appeal for consolidation of interests. At the recess for dinner Taabeneck ?mid that the prospects for consolidation were very bright; that the F. M. B A. were heartily in favor of such action., but the alliance are opposed to it though' he thought the latter body would eventaally fail imo line, con? trary to the popular impression. Re fight against the Nations! Union company was inaugurated afresh by the . Reform Press association this morning, which sent a committee to the supreme eoancil of the alliance to protest against the action of the Business Agents association as taken yesterday, award? ing the contract for furnishing alliance stores with supplies to the National Union company. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., NOV. 17.-A sensational scandal in connection with the Farmers' Alliance developed here . to-day. It is charged that a ring bas been formed by the State agents of the alliance of the Jute Trust, the Union Cordage Company and the National Union. The Jute Trust controls the ran material from which cotton bagging, the binding twine -and other product? io which the farmer is interested i.< made, and the Union Cordage company controls the manufactured product. ii ia charged that the State agents have entered into a combine with these twe enemies of the farmers to control the alliance, and that scheme bas been working for some time. The charges are made by Kelly, oi N?w Yoi lt, who claims to have docu? mentary evidence that will corroborate all be fays, aaa he proposes to bring the matter before the cooncii and de? mand ?n investigation. State Agent Wilson, of New York, io an interview to-night said be did t ot koo-nr on what Kelly based bis (Ea^fifps, bat he had been credibly 'lQ orated that Kelly had . approached members of tbe national anion and inti? mated that he. could be induced to withhold tho evidence and prevent the proposed scandal. Tbe alliance leaders say thit an in? vestigation, will be made if there appears j any evidence whatever upon which; to i base it. ] Let ter 8 sent ont by the National J Union are now in tbe bands of mern j hers of the alliance, and these seem to I substantiate the charge, j The third party sentiment is believed j to be growing. Secretary Tillman even ?3 said to have fallen a victim to the prevalent contagion. tie came here with his address already printed, and before it was deliv? ered distributed copies among the repre? sentatives of the.Reform Press associa? tion. TUlman.fell in w?h a number of the most prominent advocates of the third party action and -when be deliverea"-bis address^ caustic- reference to them and their policy of turning the alliance into a political .party was studiously omitted. After the address was delivered he re? vised the copies which had been given out, and made them conform to bis utterance iothe m'eetiog. | . Some of the alliancemen believe that he was afraid that he"Wou;d make ene? mies ano* jeopardize his re-election to the secretaryship if he delivered the address | as ? originally proposed, but others think that he has been converted to the third party idea and will give it encouragement wheo it comes before the council for action. "Vietory for the Banks. Judge Hudson-uphold* the Local As 'sessments.** NEWBERRY, S. C., Nov. 18-The Bank?are*>n top now. Judge ?llu?l 8on decided to day that the comp? troller general iu ordering the auditor to increase the returns of the banks "acted without authority of law and bis act is therefore illegal and nuga? tory. The case came np on a petition for a writ of mandamus by the New? bery National bank to compel . the county auditor to change his tax list and tax duplicate and reduce the assessment to the returns as made by the president of the bank. The peti? tion was granted and the clerk of the court was ordered to forthwith issue tlie writ. Tb?-bank was represented by <& P. J. Caldwell,. Esq., and -Assistant Attorney General Towuserid repre? sented the auditor. The bank re? turned its stock at par. This return was accepted ly the township board of assessors and the county board of equalization. The market value of the stock is about $60 the share above pa*. The comptroller genqral ordered the auditor to change the re ttfrn and place the stock oh the tax duplicate for taxation. at its market value, thereby increasing the returns of the bank about $80,000. Under Uiis decision the auditor is required to correct in's tax duplicate so as to restore the original valuation of the property >and Blake the correspond? ing reduction iii the tax payable by the batiks The case will go to the supreme court. mm i ???? ^? Mciver for Chief Justice and Wallace for Associate. Cheraw Reporter. The election of Judge Wallace as Chief Justice is being urged in sev? eral quarters. There i's no better and purer ,m&u in South Carolina than Judge Wallace and we should (ike above all things to see him -elected Associate Justice of South Carolina ; but Judge Mciver is the man, who, by reason of right and ability, id entitled to the position. Judge Mciver was once elected Chief Jus? tice, but, on account of the embar? rassment which -might have ^esti^d j to the Court upon Ins aeceptancfCne"j declined the honor. Now that there i is no such impediment in the way, I the Legislature ought to promote! Judge Mciver to the position which j he declined from purely . patriotic motives, and elect Judge Wallace to Judge Mclver's place. With Mciver as Chief Justice and McGowau and Wallace as Associates, South Carolina would have as pure and able a ?Supreme Court?s there is in the United States ; Another Murder^ Ctrolina Spartan. '' The hanging of men possesses, no terror for evil doer-?. After 'the speedy trial and conviction of Jobo Williams at thc recent term of court, it looked as if other murderous persons might be restrained. But last Thursday, Nov. b,\ about 2 p m., Adam Foster shot and kiiled Mayberry Sanders on the Air Line road out. beyond the coal chute They had .quarrelled a few day* before about a white woman, Delia Mc A bee Foster seemed to think he had a sort of quit el ai m on the woman, but in bis absence she seemed to impart a email slice of ber affection to Sanders. ArVheu Foster returned from G reen vii ref he* heard of her free love tendencies and then it entered into his mind to punish Sanders, lie went to Fair Forest for his gun. a single barrel shot gun, and loaded it to kill. He then went out on the war path and meeting Sanders on the railroad he proceeded to perforate his stomach and breast with innumera? ble shot and sl-ugs. Sheriff Nichols was inforiifed of the killing apout an hour after it took place. Ile and dep? uty Vernon went iu hot baste, t bili kin g the murderer would go to Greenville froru-which place he had recently come. They went different roads Mr Ver: on overtook him at the B>mar place and after a sharp race cap ured him. He brought him into town behind him on 1 horseback. Coroner James held ar: in? quest and all the evidence tended to show-that it was a clear case of murder. There are about a d< zen degraded white woa-en living with oegror* iu rho How? ard Gap settlement. One pf these, Nancy Pearson, who has several negro children, was arrested and imprisoned as an accessory before the killin?. It may be that this murder will break up the disreputable state of <:ffa:r8 in that neighborhood, if it does not; a stronger and more sudden power than organz-d justice may suddenly appear one of'bee nights and clean out the whole neigh borhood Improve .Your Stock.
