"Mucu ADO ABOUT NoTHlNG. "--Our
neighbors OF the Wing press in this State,
arc sending forth a most pililul hue and
cry about the disqualifcations Of Mr.
Whitaker. as member Of the General
Assembly. The las, Bloomington Herald
comes to us with long and }abored CON
s,itu,ional' effort upon this subject. The
Herald most stout-ly adirms, that &C
cording to the "spirit" Of the 22d section
Of the 4lh Article Of the Constitution
he has no right TO claim his seat, and that
any Legislative action granting him this
privilege, will be pulpab|e violation Of
the constitution In our number Of last
week, we stated that we were not exactly
prepared 20 adop, this construction ofthe
Constitution, and gave our reasons for
this opinion. The ground upon which
our Wing friends advocate the rejection
Of Mr.. Whitaker, is simply that he has
received an appointment from the Trea-
sury Department, since his election to the
General Assembly, which they say, ac-
cording to the aforesaid section, disqua'-
iGcs him from holding his seat. The sec
ton reads as follows:-"No person hold
ing any lucrative ollicc under the United
States, or this State, Or any other power,
shall be eligible 70 the General Assembly,"
This, we take it, refers to the qualfica-
tons Of candidates for election. Shall
be eligible to the General Assembly, are
the precise words Of the Constitution
What now is the meaning Of the word
seigible?' for that seems to be the only
phrase which involves doubt in this mat
ter. Webster defines it in the following
words eft to be chosen; worthy Of
choice; preferable. 2. Suitable; proper;
desirable. 8. Legally qualified 10 be
chosen. 4. The state Of being capable of
being chosen to an Office
Does not this definition Of Webster
place the question beyond controversy?
Most certainly it does, if we believe that
he has given us proper definition ofthe
word. All that the constitution requires
Of Mr.. Whitaker, is, that he should have
been eligible at the time OF his election
No one disputes that he was a legitimate
candidate for the General Assembly: was
honestly elected, and has held his seat,
and discharged his duties as Represen-
tative for one entire session. Can his
opponents now come forward and say,
that because he bias been invested with
an additional Office TO that OF Representa-
tive, that Therefore i! has destroye ed the
validity and soemnity Of the act under
which he was elected Representative!
Is there any justice or virtue in this kind
/ Of reasoning? To our mind, tits the most

From TURKS IsLAND-Adyices from Grand
Cay have been received to the 27th of July.
The Gazette of that date says:
We never had better salt season. Many
persons are unable to gather the salt fast E.
nough for the season, which is in advance of
them for the want of labor. The price of our
staple is likely to fall as the summer advan-
ces-its present rare is 3 cents. Our market
is nearl v destitute of all kinds of supplies
-four of inferior quality is selling at sl4 in a
few days, if none arrives, no provisions of any
description will be had on the two Gays.
The same paper says: 1t is a mistake that
the export duty on Turks Island Salt has been
taken off, and equally so if it is supposed that
these islands are " steadily advancing in pros
perity, in consequence of any legislative mea-
suresr The duty on Salt has certainly been
reduced from cent per bushel to 5 per cent.
ad valorem. The true state of the case is, that
we have been benefited by the change in the
American tariff, which has reduced the import
duty in the United States from OF or II cents
per bushel, the ad valorem average at the mo-
ment OF the alteration, to about cents, the
present rate,

crease this year of import equal to $3.50
bales.
The stocks of all descriptions for the year
1916 was estimated at 1851 bales, and that
for 1s47 at 437 $50 bales, showing decrease
in stocks for this year amounting to 32l $40
bales.
The consumption of all kinds of Gotten for
1916 was 754,l bales, while that of 1S47
was 500, 45O bales, showing dimnution of

From the Boston Statesman,

SENAToR Evans AND THE TARIFF
has been praised higher for ,ancial sbrewd-
ness than SENATOR EVANS! His speech on
the revenue capacity of the 1876 tariff was
heralded as the crack wing effort, and great
was the exultation among the federalists as
they gloEied over the Waterloo way in which
they said he broke Secretary Walkers argu.
ments. Did he not demonstrate that the tariff
OF 1916 would not yield SO much revenue as
that of 1912 by FIVE MILLIONS of dollars Did
he not take up, item by item, and show. this
by figures that could not lie Did he not
come to the conclusion, in his own words.
that the tariff would prove " ENTIRELY mad
EeUATE TO THE SUPPORT OF GOVERNMENT -
The tariff of 1912 had yielded TwENrY-s1x
millions net, and was increasing" he said "
SHALL BE VERY GREATLY DISAPPOINTED IF THE
PRESENT BILL WILL YIELD NET REVENUE
EXCEEDING TWENTY ONE Millions"
Such was the prophecy-what is the pros
pect OF It's fulflment: The tariff that he al
legged was destined to impair the public credit
went into operation December 1, 1916. An
official document from the treasury department,
dated July Is, 1847, gives the result thus far.
ne gross receipts OF seven months and ten
days exceed those of the same period under
'"% III VI 1C4E ONk N1LLION AND -FOUR
THOUSAND DOLLARS, exclusive of the duties on
goods an warehouse, amounting to nearly HALF
A MILLION. Add this sum and we have an
increase of round MILLION AND AHALF! But
additional returns show that the revenue is
still increasing and that largely!! 1t is hard.
| ly fair, however, to call Senator Evans to ac-
count yet. But the prospect is poor indeed
| for his figures. Those patriotic wings who
| feared that public credit would be DESTROYED
and the revenue inadequate, may stick a pr
on two fixed facts, viz that the U. S. stock is
at premium and that the revenue is on the
| increase.
Meantime it is gratifying to believe that eve
~ one OF the predictions Of the whig opposer.
OF the tariff have been falsifed. They predc'
ted ruin to our manufactures and commerce
and agricuture--they flourish as they never
have thrlved before. They predicted decline
to the national revenue-it has increased
They predicted that the people would rise er
masse and cry out for repeal of this tariff
| they prefer to pocket in quiet Joy the profit.
OF wholesome trade, stimulated and rendered
more productive by wholesome laws They
still hope to persuade the people to reinstatt
them in political power. But the old and ter
rlble characteristic will be remembered, viz
that federalism sinks as the country rises, anc
only rises when the country sinks. The few
er victories such party gain. the better is i
Tor the present generation and for posterity.

kinds of medicines, but of them had the de-
sired effect. The cough continued until March,
when we became alarmed at her condition, and
applied to a physician. who attended her some
time, but did her. no good. We then consulted
another, but all to no purpose. Having exhausted
the whole catalogue of medicines now 10 the land
two distinguished physicians having done their
best to restore her-we then obtained bottle Of

THE FREsHEr.-Jenk's Bridge on the Lou
isville Road has been carried away, and for
several days it has been impossible TO cross
the Ogeechee. The stage driver in attempt
ing to cross with the mail on horseback on
Friday last was near being drowned. We
are assured that on Saturday the Ogeechee
formed sheet of water four miles. wide, or
from the g mile stone on the Ogeechee road
to the II mile stone. Our informant further
says that almost all, If not quite all, the Rice
plantations on the Ogeechee road are under
water, and the rice crop is in that state at pre-
sent, that nearly a total loss of the crops may
with certainty be expected On Saturday tn e
Ogeechee was still rising 20 miles from town.
Hence it could not have reached its highest
point below until last evening.
Our tables gave the unprecedented downfall
of rain of 2o4 inches during the month of u-
ly. and we are pursuade1 that for the first
week in August, they will at least show a
proportional quantity if not more. Now, how
ever, the weather appears more settled, but all
these heavy rains have been attended with in
tervals of beautiful clear weather. The Cot
ton crops in the State, particularly those in
