The petition of Dr. Sampson Pi was presented in the Senate by Sena Mower of Newberry The petit; was referred to the committee on el tiona. Dr. Pope's petition sets forth that i election for Governor was not a le? one, and not held under and in accoi ance with the Constitution of Sou Carolina, but was an illegal one, he under the provisions of the Act 1882, whose registration providions a in direct violation of Seo ti GUS ol. < and ol of Article 1 ; of Sectioos 2 ai 3 of Article 2 ; of Section 2 of Artic 3 ; of Sections 2, 3, 7, 8 and 10 Article 8 of the Constitution of th State and of divers provisions of tl Constitution of the United States. The petition alleges that the constit tiona! provision of Section 31, Article 1, requiring that all electioi shall be free and open, was forcibly grossly and shamefully violated in tb interest of John Gary Evans, depm ing thousands of voters of their rig! to select their public servants. It is alleged that "under guise t complying with the statutory provision that a space or enclosure be railed off s each precinct, managers of elec?io erected at the precincts, in utter defi ance and mockery of the spirit and let ter of the Constitution and statutor provisions, such barricades and ob struciions as to utterly cut off all viet <>t' their action and prevent the electio: from being free and open. "That said managers aud others b; intimidation and physical force drov. thousands of legally qualified voter from the polling places. That mana gers so frequently shifted the positios of the ballot-boxes and refused to rca< the names thereon as to succeed in thi intended fraud of depriving illiteraU voters from voting. That many mana? gers unlawfully rejected the votes of i great uumber of legally qualified voters alleging that the number on their regis iration tickets and the book did not cor? respond. 4,That the managers fraudulently ab? stracted Pope ballots from tue boxes and substituted Evans ballots. That many managers fradulently delayed voters so as to deprive others of voting. That many supervisors fraudulently issued certificates to voters who desired to v.?te for Evans and thus was his vote increased by thousands of illegal votes." The petition declares that "these frauds, intimidations and acts of violence committed by supervisors, managers and partisans of John Gary E?ans were committed in very many cases at the immediate instance of thc county chair? men of the Democratic party, who in turu received their instructions and orders as to such action from Jobu L. M. Irby, chairman of the Democratic State executive committee, and United States Senator from South Carolina, and from Benjamin R. Tillman, Gover ner of the State of South Caroliua, com? mander-in-chief of the militia of the ? State, its highest civil and military chief, whose sworn duty it was to care I that the laws be faithfully executed in 1 mercy, but who so far from doing so in some instances instructed said county chairman to cali to their aid io executing i these frauds, acts of intimidation and ? violence, sheriffs, constables and armed forces of the State if necessary for their I accomplishment." The petition further alleges that but for these frauds Dr. Pope would have a large majority of the votes cast. The request is made that this contest of elec tion of Governor be determined by legal procedure, stating that th? petitioner standa ready io prove his allegations t>v competent and credible testimony. Accompanying this petition was a concurrent resolution 'hat Dr. Pop? be ? heard before each body of the General Assembly ahd that he have process r?? "issue from said bodies for the forth coming of witnesses to prove the allega? tions of hts position, that pending sn ir! contest the returns for Governor shall not be opened and tabulated. Tillman and Reform. in his annual message Gov. B. Pt Tillman recites the achievements of the Keform Administration as follows: 1st. The erection aud endowment of Clemson College. 2 The overthrow of the Coosaw mo? nopoly. 3d. The just and equitable assess? ment of taxes on railroads and other corporations, and the victory in the courts compelling them to pay. 4th. The passage of he dispensary law and the destruction of the bar rooms. 5th. Refunding of the State debt, j which saves $78,000 a year in interest, j 6th. The establishment of the Win- j throp Normal and Industrial Colleg? I for women. 7th. Election of the railroad commis- i stoners by the people, aod allowing j them to fix passenger and freight rates j 8th. The inauguration of the pri- J mary system of party nominations for j ali offices in the gift of the people THE PROPOSED DISPENSARY ! LAW AMENDMENTS. The Great State Whiskey Mono poly Wants Beer Bar Rooms- ? Something About the Metro? politan Police. It is reported ou good authority thar, one of the amendments ' to the dispen j sary law that will be urged to a pas- > sage through the Legislature will be ! one permitting the liceosing of beer saloons. The proprietors of such sa? loons to be compelled to buy their stock ; at the State dispensary. The reason given for the proposed j amendment is that so far the dispensary ; has failed to make any money out of the j sale of beer. A curious reason, by the I way, in face of tbe assertion so often made by the advocates of the dispen? sary that it is "not ruo for the sake of thc profits,1* that being merely an "in? cidental** feature of the business. Tt is also urged that if beer saloons ! are licensed and thc people can get it j freely, that then the blind tiger will no j longer flourish The dispensary law as amended, will j it is said, also contain provisions au-j thorizing the Governor to assume at ! will full control of the police of cities and towus. In other words, a metro? politan police system is to be engrafted upon the already oner us dispensary law, and the Governor ? ? a free com-j mon wealth clothed with despotic pow-! ers. i These are the two h ading amend- ; j ments to the law, which are to be push- : cd through if possible, and as the ad tu i nisi ration bas all the majority it wants, and this will be an "administra tion measure,'* no doubt it will go.- j The State. Five hundred cheese factories have j shut down in Northern Wisconsin. In buying presents, give a girl some j thing she can wear, and a boy some thing he can eat. Every flour mill in St. Louis has j closed down. The market is glatted. ! and the shut down is until the demand j will produce better prices. Judge Harvey, of Huntington, Ya., i stirs up the town by summoning a | d?zeo society women to testify as to the j character of one Capt William Smith j and his handsome young wife. Great j sensation ahead it is expected. George N. Noonan, of San Antonia, j Tex., who succeeds Mr. Houston as j representative in congress from the j Twelth district is the only rebublican ! member from that state, was originally I from Illinois, but went to Texas a num- ; ber of years ago, and has been on the district bench. A statue has just been erected at Dessau to the memory of Wilhelm Muller, on the hundredth anniversary of his birth. Wilhelm Miller was the father of Max Moller, the celebrated Oxford professor and was, like is son, one of the accomplished philologists and linguists of his time. Near Rockledge, Fla., a farmer dis? covered a tramp asleep in his barn He sent for the town marshal to have the man arrested, but when the tramp was bei?g questioned it was discovered that he was a long-lost brother of the farmer. He was then invited into the house, and the fatted calf was killed for him. A Charlotte, N. C., hotel is about to undertake an interesting innovation. All of the colored servants about the institution will be discharged and white girls and men will be substituted i Girls will serve in the dining-rooms. The employment of white girls in such a capacity will be something of a novelty in the south. The lessees of the hotel, who will make the change from black to white, are northern men. Mr. Goff, who ran for Recorder in New York, and was elected spent 75 cents. Another man who was run? ning spent 20 cents and was beaten, but he cheered up when another fel? low who spent $14,980.40 was laid out. Mr. Morton, whose salary as Governor will be $10,000, spent $19, 780. REo?EMBER THE FOOE.

The residence of Mr. W. E. Miras, Mtuated in the suburbs of the city on th? Gteen j Swamp road was burned last Tborsd?v night, j 7 30 ??'clock. The house was recently built ott the site of the one burned on the evening of Thanksgi ving Day one' ye ir ago at the same hour, and the loss is consequently dou? bly heavy ori Mr. Mires. Mr. and Mrs. Mints were riot nt borne -it the time the fire was di-i'oven-d, having spent the evening nt Mr Wino's. There was a servant in the yard, however, not more than twenty yardi from th?- house,, which w?s ourued.

Only a few ?nicles were Saved from the house, ami these ina d*tnaged condition The house and contents were partially covered by insurance-$300 on the h-MiSf and $350 ori the contents. Monaghan Reel Squad No. 2, made an ex? hibition mn last Thursday iu 26 seconds. Pretty good time that. The tournament on bicycles Thursday afternoon was attended by a meagre audi? ence, arrd the riders were very few. so few, in fact that the whole affair was decidedly tame and uninteresting. A tournament of this kind, with a large number of riders would be both exciting and interesting and if one can be arranged for some time when a majority of the yoong men have not gone hunting it will undoubtedly prove a success. There were seven Knights entered for the Tournament on Bicycles Thursday afternoon. Notwithstanding the small crowd, they con? tested bravely. The first nriz? was won by McDonald Auld. The second was a tie be? tween Mr. I. H. Moses, jr., and Mr. Moses j Moore. Four or five runa were made before j the tie was decided in favor of Mr. Moses, | who received second money.
