| Let us come to our new candidates. They
average about one day. The designations ar
| decreasing; the announcements OF new candl
dates are increasing, and the inference is that TN
j contest vii not be confined to one, two or three
but to many. Mr. Jillson, the superintendent o
| education, and Colonel S. Ar Pearce, the agen
| and nephew (if we mistake not) OF ex-Governo
Sprague, are put up today. Mr.. Jlllson's serious
intententions Of striving for the senatorshp VI
] must doubt. He Is good and efncIent superin
tendent of education, but certainly never will b'
elected by the General Assembly or South Caro-
lima to represent our people in the United States
| Senate.
Cololel Pearce can, and we doubt not VIII
make strong and active fight. AS we have
specified the figures which other candidates are
| understood to be willing to reach, we cannot, IL
justice to him, neglect to give the size OF the pie
which he and his friends will plank down. 4
quarter of million OF dollars it is said can ant
will be, II necessary, forthcoming next tuesday
Who can "see' It9 Who can go any better? Wha
candidate now before the public can make any
/ showing to compare with this9 We know tina
| none can, and are almost forced to believe, a!
every one else seems to believe tonight, that he
| Is the coming man. Ex-Governor Sprague arrived
| in town to day.. The query .ls, whether MT
Sprague comes down to secure right bower In
the Senate, or to prosecute his obviously profitable
| las he thinks) enterprise OF the canal?
In regard to other contemplated candidates, II
is better, perhaps, not TO commit ones self; bu
we anticipate that Joe Crews will, Phoenix-iiSe
| loom up soon. He certainly did announce him
| self as q candidate prior to the election.
THE LAURENs ARRESTS.
We advise your readers to be extremely careful
OF giving my weight to the rumors OF disturb
ances in the up.country. The latest canard alas
| rednced its.lt from an account OF q general en-
| gagement to the accidental wounding or injury
| OF one soldier. We have had two statements
both, in all probability, correct The first is thai
on Friday night last, at negro ball, white sol
dier got into difficulty with colored man and
was seriously hurt. The second Is that an of1cel
accidentally run over soldier at night, and broke
his arm. =:
This morning some Of Huooard's constables
came down on a special train from Newberry
with eleven prisoners from Laurens. They are
some OF the most prominent citizens Of that
county, as follows: Sheriff Jones, DR.. and Mr.
Richardson, T. R. Todd, two Mr. Copelands and
Messrs. Suber, Moseley, Williams, Harris and Gar
lington. They were incarcerated In the county
jail to-day and at O'Clock P. II. brought before
United States Commissioner Boozer, who libera.
ted them all on bail. Four were Immediately re-
arrested on warrants for murder tState cases,
aad again imprisoned. : A large crowd Of negroes
followed these gentlemen to the jail, and i5 was
with some dif1culJy that an outbreak was avoid
ed. Constable Hubbard, be 1t said to his credit,
did all in his power to prevent breach OF the
peace
The sheriff of Newberry had writs OF hdoeas
corpus placed ia his hands, and would have
served them, but that the State constable secured
a special train at Helena, and, by maneuvering,
succeeded in avoiding him.
The matter will be ventilated before the United
States Court io-morrow. 1t Is the general opinion
that they will not be found guilty.
HOW AIRS RADICAL cANARDs MANUFACTURED
The accounts in the rabid Radical sheets OF
disturbance in the up-coun,ry," &C., &C., must
be manufactured ont OF whole cloth. On Tues.
day. the statement appeared that serious matters
were trausprlng in Spartanburg County, and
that one Wiley Draper had been hung. NOW,
Wiley Draperis to-day well and alive in Union.
How should this be thus ?
WHO is M'INTYRE?
Mcintyre Is certainly the chief point Of interest
In the Senate at present. He don't amount to
such great deal, to be sure, but he had great
expectations and every one has been looking to
see them realized. II Mr. Mcintyre was honest
In what he Is doing, aud was in an honest minorl-
ty we would be inclined to let him serenely alone.
But as we think he is opposed 10 have things
work along decently and smoothly in the Senate,
we must give him little showing up.
The gentleman has no history, prior to his be-.
coming member OF the House two years since.
that would interest the public. he was simply
among the great unknown. He had but little IL
any prominence there until the latter part of his
term The "forty thleves' was body which
was the natural result of the cupIdlty and igno-
rance o. q geproportion OF the members OF the
lower house o. the last General Assembly. The
House started out with n fair business record,
and measures we're considered somewhat upon
their merits. In short time, however, few or
the more knowing aud sehemlng ones discovered
that by an organization OF the worst elements
OF the House, the Legislature could be controlled,
and they benefited. The mate ial was ripe for the
occasion, and the organization was one OF rapid
growth. The power which 1t possessed, and the
money which 1t could CONTROL was sufficient to
dazzle their minds. 1t had many ups and downs.
The FIRST management was vested In a committee
Of five They, however. were kicked out, having
been discovered cheating the main body. Another
committee met similar fate, and were compelled
to take q back seat. And SO on, until five differ
ent committees had been appointed and decapl-
tated. The rein Of government next fell into the
hands Of our hero. Business was transacted Tor
some little time with degree OF fairness which
seemed to Indicate that the right man had been
placed in the right place. He, however, was
brought to grief. The gold bill was his coffin. He
fell from grace and was crowded out. He became
thereafter one OF the honest twelve Having con-
cluded that his accomplishments and talents had
not been appreciated, he decided TO run for SEN
ator, and here we find him.
A POSTMASTER OR A SENATOR?
AS fit continuation Of the history, we present
the following resolution offered by Mr.. Leslie to-
day:
whereas, Hon. George F. Mcintyre, now hold.
ing seat in this body as senator elect from Col
Teton County, was at the time 0f his election, on
the 18th DAY OF October, 1870, md on the Monday
following said election, holding an ounce OF PROM
and trust under the United States OF America, TO
wit: Postmaster at WATERFORD, Colleton county,
contrary to sections 13 and 2S Ul article u OF the
therefore,
Resolred That the committee on elections De In
structed 10 Inquire whether said Geo. +. Mcintyre
is entitled to seat on this floor as senator from
Colleton County, and that they be authorized 10
send for persons anu papers.
Mcintyre objected inasmuch as 10 was, as he
said. "a deliberate falseheod.n
