Thu lutnored reaignation of Senator McLturin to accept the place on the Philippine commiesion, has stirred no the politicaoa and office seekers Io a fever best, snd reports from Colombia indioste tbst more interest now centers in tbe Heoslorial sucoes* sion thsn in legislative mstters Tho resignation of Senator McLaurin has not jet msterislized, but already toe re are numerous svowed candi? dates io the field sod others sre ssid to be stripping for the rsce. The ?towed candidates wbo are uow st work are Attorney General Bellinger, Lieut Uu? Scarborough, Senator D. 3 Henderson Judge 0. W Buchau an and Representative tV. F Steven son Beaidea these Gov McSweeuey, Speaker Gary, Col Willie Jones, and Repreaentative George E Priuce are eaid to be teady lor the lightning to strike them The situation is an interesting one politically and until the resignation ia actually placed in Gov McSweeney'a bands, the matter is the merest guess work If Senator McLaurin resigns before tho Legisla ture adjourns the election will be thrown into that body and the acramble be wildly exciting to the participants ; if the resignation doea not reach Gov MoSweeney until the Legislature has adjourned he will huve to appoint someone to fill the plaoe until the next Legislature meets. There is said to be nothing of a definite nature known as to Senator McLaurin's intentions, but there ie no doubt about the anxiety of many prominent politiciaoa to succeed him, aud there would be great joy in many quartern if he should resign immediately. We have no favorite in the rough and tumble ecramble for the place, but we would not be over come with regret if Senator McLaurin abould vacate his poaition with the least possible delay for in our opinion be would fill a plaoe on the Philippine commiaaion with a better grace than be doea the poat of repreaentative of the democracy of South Carolioa.

He Will Issue Warrants for Democratic Legislators and Will Have a Working Quorum at Londou. Lindob, Kentucky, Feb 9.?Tbe following uio.xsagc from Governor Taylor was received by a member ot tbe L?gieluturc : ''Have warrant. ittosd for member. of ibe H.ju-o tod put io the bands ot ?ergaaot-at-arsr<e to nerve " Tde warrant wore ciwde out late to? day and givju to ?Sergeant at areas Cecil, ot too lloudo. L:eu'enant Governor Maialiail telegraphed he would be here tariy tomorrow moroiog. Tbe rigid secrecy that c.-araeur z d yesterday's proceedings was maiotuinid to-d.-iy, hut it was very apparent tbat all tbo Legislators were laboring uuder a fevvr of eioiti meet The message trom Governor Taylor to issuo the warrants was received juht before tbe House convened The iotelligenoe was passed h crcly to members, and tbo uir of t-upprcs^od excitement became plainly visible Tbo effect of Governor Taylor's message was apparent Senator Cox said: "We mean business Wo will bavo a q-ioruru tn tbo House and a quorum in tho Senate. Further than that I have notbiog to say " Lite in the afternoon lbs Hourc war? rants were issued and tbe excitement quieted dowo with the sadden calmness tbat indicates the appnaohinjr storm. The secrecy tbat bad marked tbe pro? ceedings of the eX'30Qtive Sessions cover? ed tbe names contained in tbe warrants A list of a Dumber of members to be brought to London baa been prepared, but whether warrants were issued fur al! or them, ooula not be ascertained. Five de ectives bave arrived in Lou don and every effort has been mada to keep (heir identity a store)!. Two of tbem are hero in tho interests of tbo Democrats and three for toe Republi? cans - ? ? ? ?? - t? - "Because He is a Jew." One of the ablest men in the pub lie service of this country ie the lion Oscar S Strauss, United States min ister to Turkey He has been pre? ferred for this high place by both of the great political parties in this country, and has discharged his duty with an ability and fidelity which have commanded the applause of all his fellow countrymen, aud excited tbe admiration of those who are most skilled in the ait of diplomacy. When Mr Straus was selected for this honorable Nervice by President Cieve. land in 1887, the Rev Henry Ward Beecher recommended his appoint ment in the warmest and most elo? quent terms, as follows : "It is because he is a Jew that I would urge his appointment as a fit recognition of tbis lemarkabie peo? ple, who are becoming large contrib btors to American prosperity, aud whose intelligence, morality and large liberality in all public measures for the welfare of society deserve aud should receive from the hands of tbe government some such recogni? tion. Is it not also a duty to set fortb in tbis quiet but effectual meth? od the genius of American govern? ment, which has under its fostering care people of sll civilized nations, aud which treats them without regard to civil or religious race peculiarities us common citizens ? We send Danes to Denmark, Germans to Ger many ; we reject no man because he is a Frenchman. Why should we nut make a crowning testimony to the genius of our people by sending a Hebrew to Turkey ? The ignor? ance and superstition of mediaeval Europe may account for tbe preju? dices of that dark age. But how a Cbristain in our days cau turn from a Jew I cannot imagine. Christianity itself suckled at the bosom of Judaism ; our roots are iu tbe old Testament We are Jews ourselves r/one to blossom aud fruit, Christianity is Judaism in evolution, and it would seem strange for the seed to turn against tbe stock on which it was grown M What the pastor of Plymouth Church said 60 happily of Mr Straus might also be said in effect of all Jews Character, capacity, fidelity arc tbe tests which ought to be re? quired of those appointed to offices of public trust, whatever the nativity, race or religion of those selected for such service Wo take no stock whatever in the proscriptiou of the Jews. They ought to be judged pre cisely as other men are judged, and it is a reproach to Cbristaiuity tbat in Christaiu countries the people of this dispersed race ate treated with 60 great severity and injustice It is something of which the Anglo Saxon race may well be proud that in England and the United States the Jews have not been prosciibed be? cause of their race or religion.?News and Courier - ????? -^BMB?

Tho Atlantic Coast Line's Florida Special. Charleston New* aod Courier, Jan. 11, 1300 It is now several years since the Atlantic Coast Line, working in con nection with the Plant system, began operating a special tourist train be tween New York, Charleston ana* Florida, and as tho railroads kept pace with improved methods and tue fastidious traveller the trains each year became more complete and handsome, and the schedules quicker. This year it seems as though the high water mark must have been very nearly reached, lor it is hard to imegioe a more speedy trip Iben that which will be offered southbound passengers on and after Tuesday, Jan 10, and also a more comfortable and luxurious train is well nigh im possible to plan The train is com posed entirely of Puilman cars, made for this particular service arid vesti buled, so that pascengers pnas freely from one car to another, regardless of the speed at which they are travelling and unaffected by wind or weather Each car is a model of its kind, one a dining car, wbore the traveller partakes of his meals at hours which suit his convenience and where deft waiters serve the most tempting of dishes, prepared while flying along the steel road? way by a competent chef The end of the train is always occupied by the "observation car," so uniquely arranged as to give a view almost unobstructed of the scenery along the line of the rood A draw? ing room car and a library at d smok? ing room are among the advant? ages of this movable hotel, for it is more like the first class hotel, with every convenience aud comfort, than anything else. But the number of guests is limited strictly to the num ber of berth accomodalion's in the magnificently appointed "sleepers," attd there is no fear of finding a favorite window seat occupied by a "match and tooth pick" customer and always a seat in {.bedinitig room Then tho speed of it! Leaving New York at 12 25 p m the "special" pauses but a moment at Poilidelphia at 2 62 p m Baltimore is reached at 5 05 the same afternoon and Washing ton reached at 6 20 Four hours later the "special" makes Richmond at 7 15 the next morning arrives in Charleston, eighteen hours ai d a few minutes after the start. From Char? leston the same excellent speed is maintained to Georgia and Florida. For the north bound trip the schedule is also very convenient and speedy Travellers leaving Charles ton at 9 10 p m arrive in Rich mond at 7 15 in the morning Washington is made at 11 05 a m., Baltimore 1 15 p. m., Philadelphia 2 30 p m , and New York at 5 05 p m. An important feature of the tourist special is that no extra charge is mada for traveling on this train. The regular fare, with only crdinary Pullman fare added, is charged and the passenger list is limited strictly to the capacity of the sleeping cars " W. S.
