I I . REFORMERS GATHER / A DIG POLITICAL MEETING. !At Which Conservative# have ? Respectful Hearing. A meeting of the delegates from the > different townships of Union county ifor the purpose of conferring together as to what shall be required of the dellegates from that county to the Constitutional Convention, was held on Monday. The meeting was composed of citizens generally nud teu delegates 'from each township, of which there are ton. When the roll was called it was found that eighty-one delegates were in attendance. J. W. Gregory was made permanent chairman and J. M. Greer secretary. )Q>\ motion of G. W. Whitman the Cnair appointed a committee of ten, ono from each township, to which ull resolutions were referred. Home objection was raised to this on tbo ground that there was not much time allowed until Court reconvened. Mr. Whit- ! man said that this would facilitate matters, and that he would rush things along at a lively rate if they would let ; him ruu the things a little while. While the committee was out the i Hon. Wm. Munro was called upon to address the meeting. Mr. Munro ex- I pressed his surprise at being called 1 1 il..i 1. . 1 l .i. mm rsiim iuui ut1 >> tin uui jtrujiurtHi, ihiv , addressed the meeting iu behalf of the Conservatives, asking that they be allowed eqtial representation in the Constitutional Convention. He said that it was now iu the hands of the Reform faction to bring the people together ; by giving them this representation, : that the chasm was closing any way,aud that the people were gradually coming i together; that there was not so much bitter feeling between the two factions as there had been. That he could ^pledge that the Conservative element was as solidly iu favor of white su- \ preinncy as the reformers were. Mr. Wm. A. Nicholson was called upon, and said that he would like to hear some expression from the Conser- i vatives as to whether they would come into the primary and abide the result, j .To this Mr. Munro replied that it was well kuown that if the Conservatives brought out a candidate he would not stand the ghost of a show, as the other faction was iu so large a majority. To this it was answered that if a Conser- j vative took tho stump and told his ! opinions of the needed changes in the laws, if they met the approval of the people, they would vo.e for him irre- ! spective of party factious. There were several short speeches along this j line from both sides. if^ t :.1 ih.i ii.n iur. uuuricM ?t*iu uiut nit: l/uuoci vbtives were not beggars, that they were .the peers of any men anil they thought they knew their rights, and only asked for what they thought to be their rights; that he could live under any laws that any other white man could. He said it was ridiculous to intimate that the Conservatives, if allowed a voice in the Convention, would do nught to interfere with white supremacy. Taken altogether it was a very har- ; rnouious meeting. There was no ill feoliug expressed in the speeches from either side. Each seemed to waut poace and unity of the party, but the moans of bringing it about was thought | to l>o one thing by one and another by the other. It is very evident from the present I outlook that a strong delegation of tho j Reform party will bo sent from this county. Some of the Reformers are | in favor of allowing tho Conservatives one member, while others are not in I favor of granting anything exc ep ! what they may win before the people nn Hir> Ktiinm The committee returned bringing in the following resolutions that were read and adopted seriatim. The reeo- j lotions passed, with two or three exceptions, without argument. Itesolved, That we pledge ourselves to white supremacy, to the extent of out influence, so far as it can be preserved without fraud, and without disfranchising white men for other cause than that by which they arc now disfranchised. No property qualification should bo necessary us a condition for holding office 2. That we pledge our influence to the promotion of peace und harmony and unity,based upon what \v<?conceive to bo party governmental principles. Wo will not consent to jeopardize the I principles of popular government as wo now have it. in South Carolina for any consideration. 5b Wo pledge our influence to the formation of a Constitution that will ho guaru private ngnis as nun n win l>o impossible to foree individuals to pay taxes for the benefit of corpora- ! tioriH not owned and operated by the Government. 4. We believe that common school, ' industrial and technological education is neeeasary to the stability of the highest form of popular government, and advocate that the grade of education be guaranteed to the people by the Constitution. r?. We believe purely scientific and classical education of high grade iiii- j necessary to the stability of populur government, ami morn a luxury than a , ucaeseity; and this gpide of educatiou j I (being abundantly supplied by volun-' tary effort, ad v oca to a Constitution that will prohibit competition on the part of the State with institutions purely literary, classical and scientific in their character, and of high grade, supported wholly by voluntary effort. (>. We believe the people should be left the right to deteruiino by their representation in the General Assembly what are the proper subjects of polico legislation, without restriction by the Constitution. 7. Wo pledge that we will use our efforts to have such men nominated by J VIVVV1VU) nuu vu riCV/li DUt'U men at the general election as will represent tho views contained in these resolutions without regard to factions. 8. Tho county Democratic executive committee is hereby requested to arrange for holding meetings in each, township previous to the primary election, at which the candidates for tho State convention are hereby required to discuss tho proposed new Convention: First, in reference to the franchise; second, iu reference to the institution for special and practical training; third, in reference to the public schools of the State; fourth, in reference to higher education; fifth iu reference to the homestead law; sixth, in reference to the law prohibiting duelling; seventh, iu reference to the traffic in intoxicating liquors and police legislation regulating the same. 9. We warn our citizens of tho county agninst voting for any man to represent them in the State Convention who does not fully and explicitly make known his views and proposed action on these several subjects. 10. We deplore the dissensions and bitterness now existing among Democrats and exhort them to lay aside prejudices and come together with a steadfast nnd patriotic purpose to de vise tue best possible fuuuATneutaJ la^r for the whole people of the State, for present aucl future generations. Resolved, That this Convention hereby request our county executive committee to arrange the following schedule of appointments for a county canvass: July 18, Union, C. H.; July 19, Santuc; July 20, Fish Dam; July 22, Goshen Hill; July 23, Cross Kevsr Jn!y 2d, Bogansviiie; July 25, Jonesville; July 26, Draytonville; July 27, Gowdeysville; July 29, Pinckney. Resolved, That we recommend an equal divisions of managers in the primary elections of both factions of the Democratic purty, as ordered by the State Democratic executive committee. THATAIKKN MUDDI.R. The Statement of the Comptroller nvucrHi. Comptroller General Norton lias returned from Aiken where he has re- ! cently been to make his annual settlement with the county officials, and to examine the condition of affairs in that county. The result of this examination has been awaited with interest, in view of the recent presentment of the grand jury of the county. Mr. Norton says that he found that there are irregularities in the office of the county commissioners, such as leiting contracts for roads, bridges, etc. He does not. however, think that thero has been any bcnciit accruing to the individual members of the hoard. lie says that it is also true that the expenses of the eonnty show an increase of 37,000 or 83,000 over the expenses of last year and previous years While this is true, he says, the county com missioiieis are not entirely responsible for it, and a coinpurison of the expenses for the yeura previous to this year shows that the countv eomniisMoners had spent no money for the construction of roads and bridges. This part of their duty had boeu neglected and finally it beeuics a public necessity this year to begin the work. This required an expenditure which seems to indicate that, the j*resent commissioners have spent, more than they ought to have done The main increase iti the expenditures is to tie found in the court expenses, owing to the increase of the number of ciimiliid eases, and the money that had to tie paid witnesses and jurors. It was something that could not be helped. In regard to the charge of the grand jury that Supervisor Sawyer had used public funds to pay his private debts, Mr. Norton says that Sawyer did pay some private debts on a claim he bad a v in est the county tor taouey owed iii :u. As to the charge of forgery against Sawyer. Mr. Norton says Sawyer did sign the name of Major Champion tbo eh 1 k of the board to a certificate while Champion was sick and needed the money, but lie did it in tbo presence ot the board,and with the hoard's consent . The Comptroller states further that, so far as his investigation went, there was no politics m the report of the grand jury it was composed in uvovu Reformers auil five Conservatives, and the special committee which investigated all these things was composed of three Reformers and two Couservu lives. While the irregularities arc apparent. Mr Norton says he believes that there lias been no defalcation, anil the .,r 'giilunties have resulted from a lack of knowledge of the law more thau anytili irr ?.! ?? PALMETTO POINTERS A SALTY SENTENCE. W. J.Iloweu, of Charleston, Sentenced To tho Penitentiary by Judge Buchanan. A special to the News and Courier from Sumter, 'snjB: When Judge Buchnuan was holdiug Court iu Charleston he signed injunctions against a number of men who were charged with selling liquor in violation of the dispensary law. Among the number were John Wyndhatu and W. J. Bowon. The injunctions were Bcrved on June 10. Sinco that date a member of the Charleston police force, one L. Meyers, has mudo affidavits charging that thoy have continued selling liquor in defianco of the injunction and in contempt of the Court. Jitdgo Buchanan, acting upou theso affidavits, issued ati order for Wyndliym aud Bowen to show cause before him in 'Chambers, on Monday, why they shoukl'not be ruled for contempt. The cases were heard Mouday by Judge Buchaunn. Assistant Attorney General Townscnd was present to repre' sent the State ami Mr. George S. Lo' gare, of Charleston, appeared iu behalt ol Wyudbutn. Bowen was not rep- j resented ^uor were either of the prini opals present. The case of Bowen i I was taken up first, aud after tlie nffida- j i vils were read by Mr. Townsend iu 1 support of the charge that Bowon had ! j violated the injunction and was, there- | I lore, gumy oi contempt, he wan mli judged guilty of contempt, and Judge Huchatiun issued an order sentencing j Uoweu to pay the Hunt of two hundred dollars, and be imprisoned in the State j 1 Penitentiary at Columbia for the term ' i?f four months. The case of Wyndhnm was then taken up. A general denial was put u by Mr. Liegare, who brought with i ; iiiui a number of affidavits from repu! table citizens w ho take meals at Wyud- i ham's restaurant, in Meeting street, in ; rebuttal of the charge that liquor was ; sold on his premises. These parties 1 j wear that not only had no liquor been i I I old there since the injunction was is1 i nod, but that none hail ever been sold i j here to their knowledge; that ou sevj prul occasions they had asked Wyud- ! bam to sell them beer Aud liquor, but i i |ie refused every time j ( Iu view of these affidavits Judge I | Buchanan reserved his derision in this j i rase until he had sufficient tune toes : < umine sdl tho papers. | ^ J There in um abiiud'iut fruit crop iu j .Uuiuu this year ami peaches are ?)j ready selling at 51) cents a bushel TT r. eiwirci wu iu ait-oja i_i.? .... |P.

The Figures In the Report of the Fiscal Year Just Ended. Tho fiscal year 1894-5 ended on Saturday last, and from official *nd semi-official figures obtained it the Treasury Department, which will not vary more than $250,000 either way from the figures finally announced, the government revenues and receipts for the fiscal year can bo stated. The receipts are as follows: 1894-'95, $312,500,000; mZ-'04, $297,722,019; 1892-'93, $385,819,628. The expenditures fur the same years were as follows: 1894-'95, $256,000,000; 1893-'94, $367,525,279; 1892-'93, $383,477,954. The deficit for the past two fisoal ve&rs were as follows: 1894-'95, $43,500,000; 1893-'94, $69,803,260. For the year 1892-'93. the excess of receipts over revenue amounted to only #2,394,074. Prior to that year, there had been an excess in receipts over expenditures for every fiscal year since 1865, the lowest excess in all those year9 upjo 1892-'93 having been iu the year 1874, when the receipts exceeded the expenditures by only $2,344,882. For the present fiscal year ended today, Secretary Carlisle, on December 3rd, 1894, estimated that the deficiency would be $20,000,000. As shown by the official figures this estimate was more than $23,000,000 out i f the way, due largely to the elimination of the income tax from revenue. Had the House bill ( with sugar, iron and coal, placed on the free list, become a law, the actual de- < licit for the present fiscal year, instead , of being over $13,000,000, would have < been over $03,000,000. On February , 2nd, 1893, Secretary Carlisle, in un estimate furnished to Congress, staled thai during the fiscal year 1895, the surplus f revenue over expenditures would 1 amount to $22,503,023. Six months of ' this period have now passed and the deficit for this six months is $ I ((,750,000. 1 Assistant Secretary Can is, in a pub- J lished statement, estimated that the de ficit up to December 1st, 1895, would be $35,000,000. This estimate was made * after the income tax had been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court ^ of the United States. It was based upon 1 the increased appropriations made by a the last Congress, which go into effect- t .luly 1st. and which include $5.(KM).000 ^ for the sugar bounty and increased in- ,, v.ihikcs ?I1 uccuuni ?J| mc several ^ bond issues aggregating $l<i2,400,000. For the month or July, which begins Monday, it is estimated by the Tress- l? ury, if receipts continue normal, that ti the expenditures will exceed the re- p ceipts by about twelve or thirteen mil- *1 lion dollars, July being *n interest-pay- tl inp month and the payments on ac- ? count of o?'",ions being also especially heavy. For the month of June, just ?nded. the receipts have exceeded the u xpeiiitilures by nearly $2,000,000, thej llJ IrM month since last August wheu this <1> |ius be-ti t ho case.

Douglass, who has beeu the leading counsel in the registration case, was in the Columbia this week. He was seen at Wright's Hotel with reference to tho progress of the litigation. Ho said that the appeal papers had been prepared and will be ready for docketing dtiriug the present week. The case, however, could hardly come up before the November term of the Court. He would not make an effort to prevent the holding of the Constitutional Convention and he did not think that tho holdiue could bo nrev?nt?fl Wlieu linked whether Judge Ooflf had attempted to prevent the holding of the Constitutional Convention, he replied emphatically ho did not. Upon the contrary the effect of Judge CiotT's order was not to prevent tho holding of the Convention, bnt was baaed upou tin* legality of the election and removed the registration law so that all qualified electorK could participate in the election of delegates. The present action was to give the Court the opportunity of deciding the i-ase ou its merits, lie said that the Court might confine itself to the uaro\v limits adopted by the Court of \ppeals, but lie would peseut the ease 10 that all of the issues included in the nerits might be clearly before it, und or it to decide. fie was asked what the effect would jo on the work of the Convention if Fudge tbiff'? views were sustained by he Supreme Court He said that ho lid not know what, the effect would be. t might invalidate the work of the 'ouventiou or it might not be held to >e so far reaching.
