The Election of Comp troller. Under the caption "Philosophy on the Resal?," the Sute discusses the elec? tion of Derham to be Comptroller Gen? eral instead of Epton ?ho vas appoint? ed by Governor EUerhe to the place, as follows : The hottest legislative fight of years is ever, and Mr. Derham steps ap while Mr. Epton steps down. The stone re? jected of the builders is made the corner-stone of the administration tem? ple. We have moot sympathy for Mr. Epton. He gave op a good position, which seemed assured to him for years to come, to take'a better whioh seemed an -equal certainty. His ability to fill it competently was not questioned. His appointment was a popular one. Yet within three souths he has been displaced and thrown out of employment. It is hard. And what makes it barder is the faot that he waa not defeated on bis own ac couot but on Gov. Ellerbeks. We have always sympathized with the boy who according to the old story was dirashed.wheo the kiog of Spain mis? behaved himself. Wherefore we said what we could to keep Mr. Epton from being beaten on Gov. Elle rho's account, although we were not asked to do so and sever met him until yesterday after bis defeat. Two serious mistakes were made by the admiois?ration One was the dis? charge Of Mr. Derham from his posi? tion tn the comptroller-general's office. But for that, of course; be would not have been elected comptroller-general *The other was making the Epton fight the fight of the administration. That invited every maa who bad a griev? ance against the governor to take it ont on his candidate, We claim no ? OD these discoveries. The facts cited merely as a part of the record the case. * Although there was "arrayed against the administration a host of active workers it is bat fair to say that if Mr. Ber ha ra bad sot previously served ill the seo ate he would not have been ? efeite?. His majority was wholly io that body. It is a safe estimate that at least four senators who would other-, wis* have voted for Epton voted for Derham because cf personal friendship. Tbet friendship vote was the deciding lwts>. ~ \Any sort of lie serves in a campaign, and we are informed that tue moat absurd stories^ wara circulated about The State to assist in bringing about this result. To make certain legisla? tors angry enough witb Gov. Ellerbe to vote- against Mr. Epton, it was re? ported that The State was in a deal Of some sort with the governor, that its -editor wrote the governor's message, ?cd so on. It is hardly worth while to notice these things, especially after they have served their purpose, but to keep the record olear we simply de? clare them what they are-utter false? hoods. Moreover, we bad nothing to do wi b Mr. Epton's appointment, never met him sn til yesterday after? noon, anti were not asked tossy a word io ibis behalf. If anybody has been persuaded to vote against him by ins suggestion that it would hurt The he bas been fooled, that's all. State is not tied to anybody and can't be upset by the flooring of any? body. Mr. Epton announces in a card to? day that he will appeal to toe people -next fall. Mr. Derham has been seined by being te ade a martyr, an ci Mr. EptouTs vicarious punishment will doubtless commend bim to the favor of a great many voters -The State, Jan? n*ry 27.

Colombia, Jan 27-In joint ses? sion to-day the two houses of ihe general asst oly declined to ratify the appointment of Mr. Charles B Calvo as public printer to the unex? pired term of his father, recently made, and elected instead for the interim Mr. J. T Parks of Orange burg. The history of the recent ap? pointment following the misfortune of Mr. Charles A. Calvo, the public printer is familiar to all. The State company has been doing the work under contract for Mr. C. B. Calvo, and the change is made despite the fact that there is but little more to be doue and the change bas to be made in the midst of the session The ?election was held yesterday following the action taken in the sen? ate on Wednesday night The joint session began yesterday at 110 p m When the senators bad been seat ed. Lieutenant Governor M cSweeney called the body to order The reso? lution under which the election was to be held was read, and then the president of the senate appointed Senators Aldrich > and Love tellers on the part of the senate. Speaker Gary appointed Messrs JEfird, De Loach and C. W. Davis on the part of the house. Nominations for public printer to fill the unexpired term of Mr. C. A. Calvo were declared in order In a few words Senator McCalla nominated Mr J. T Parks of Orange burg. Mr. Dokes seconded it. Mr- Pollock then rose and said they had met there to select a State print? er. Mr. Charles A. Calvo was elect ed for two years, and he would have been serving now bot for bis misfor? tune He was proceeding to detail the circumstances of the appointment when Mr J D Kinard rose to state that be was chairman of the house committee on priuting. and. had not acted in making the appointment. Mr Pollock said Mr Charles B. Calvo had the work well and satisfac? torily done Ile had heard no com? plaint as to any of the work The season was nearing its end In two, certainly not more than three weeks, there would be nothing else to do. He thought it would be very unwise to make any change Senator Archer at this juncture rose to a point of order, asking if they were there to make nominations or to discuss the advisability of mak ing a change in the matter of the pubiic printing The president said they bad met to elect. Mr Pollock'said he was aware of ihe popo?9 of the joint assembly, and was simply giving the reasons why it appeared to him that the general assembly should be fair and just and extend the term of Mr Charles B. Calvo to its proper expiration. Mr. J no. P. Thomas, Jr., seconded the nomination "on behalf of the wife and children of him upon whom God had placed a heavy hand." Senator Ragsdale thought that on every consideration of right and good faith the general assembly should elect Mr. Charles B. Calvo. Senator Mayfield said that re? cognizing the past services of the elder uaivo to the State and believing that his son ought to hold on ss pub? lic printer until his term bad expired he seconded the nomination. Senator Gaines and Dr. Timmer man seconded the nomination of Mr. Parka along with others Mr. Cm? took pleasure in second? ing the nomination of Mr Parks and expressed the hope that they would get a printer who could give them the reports of the comptroller general and sa p?rin tendent of education sooner than the incumbent Senator Dean and Mr. McCullough seconded the nomination of Mr. Calvo and theu nominations were closed. The vote was then taken resulting iu the election of Mr. Parks The total vote cast was 142, of winch Mr. Parks received 89, Mr. Caivo 52 and the Bryau Printing company 1. -State.

Madrid, Jan. 27.-Minister Canela jas, the imparciai announces, has ar? rived at Cadiz, from Havana (having visited the United States and Coba to study the political situation) and has expressed a pesniroistio view of the du? ration of the war. declaring the insurg? ents have the means to greatly prolong their re8?stenoe in the aiountatos Cuba's Freedom m Sight The beginning of the end is in sight The Administration has been finally forced into a position where it is compelled to abandon its Spanish friends and espouse the canse of Cuba. President McKinley and bis Cab i net have sat supinely by during the past year, and witnessed the star vation and butchery of more than half a million people, simply for po? litical purposes. Bat, now that the republicen party finds itself on the verge of wreck and dissolution by reason of internal dissension and broken pledges, the President allows bis official representative, C. S. Rue sel, Assistant Attorney General, who has just returned from a trip of in? vestigation to Coba to speak for him and announce that the United States must come to the rescue of I Coba. Mr. Russel's report of the condi? tion of affairs in Cuba is no news to the President He bas long known the true situation there from the re ports of Consol General Lee, Consul Walter Barker, and his private agents But it did not suit his policy to as eert his Americanism before ; nor would it suit the bondholders, who control his policy now, were it not for the fact that the President is compelled to come to the rescue of j his party, and distract the national attention from the political outra gea perpetrated at Columbus. Ohio, by adopting a sensational foreign policy. McKinley has long held this card up his sleeve, awaiting the proper time to play it, whenever the people be came too restive under the Admin ist ration's pro-Spanieh policy. These facts are so well understood by all classes in the city that they are discussed as a mere matter of course Now that President McKinley has been forced into action, we may ex? pect to hear the welkin ring with de? nunciations of Spanish barbarity ne will have to make haste, however, or Congress will steal his thunder and declare war on its now respon?ibility. -National Intelligencer.
