The Court Firm and Inaexible.

COLUMBIA, :. o., Nov. "a.
GreenviNc Ne,os.: The Supreme Court
met to-day at IL o'clock. General Con-
ner asked for five separate Rules against
the State Canvassers. Also, one against
Corbin, their counsel. Granted, and
made returnable at four O'Clock this
evening. The Court appears firm and
intexible in the discharge of the impor-
tant duties. The Court is now in session
and has Just refused to grant the petition
OF the Board Of Canvassers and d. r.
Corbin for an extension of time, in which
to answer the Rule, to show cause, why
they should not be attached for CONTEMPT.
This makes it quite certain, that Corbin,
Cardozo & Co., will spend this night at
least in Jail. Hayne, for whom Colonel
Rion plead, will not be included in the
excursion. Judge Willard was quite se-
we're in his remarks to Corbin, accusing
him of trifling with the Court. The
Judge said, thst If Corbin would indicate
some reasonable line of defence, which
he contemplated adopting, the Court
would consider his petition for time.
But otherwise it would not do 30. Cor
bin failed to do 50, and subsidized. The
Court Is Mt present engaged in consider
ing the motion for g mandamus, COM
pelling the Secretary of State to issue
certificates of election to the Senators and
members of the Legislature from Laurens
and Edgefieid. .:-

A Steel Pen ManufactOry and the Va.
ri0us Processes Employed.

Everybody who has used Gillott's 3O3s
will be interested in the following de-
scriptiOn of visit to the manulactory in
Birmingham, which we take from the
English Mechanic:
The workers arc almost all women,
who amount altogether to about four
hundred. The men and boys form the
minority, and work in the primary de-
partments-in other words, they do the
rough work.
The first department, i'll which only
men and boys work, prepares the sheets
of steel required. these are made to
certain lengths, measuring from two to
four inches IN width, according to the
various sorts of pens manufactured.
When the different sheets are prepared
they are handed to the stamping depart
mert, where the first and subsequent pro-
cess:s Of pcnmaking are gone through.
There are altogether twenty -four pro-
cesses; every single pen has to go through
them all before it is completed and fit for
use. Each worker has n separate table,
with the stamping machine on it, and q
stool to herself. Nearly all the processes
are done by stamping. When stamped
out the pen, any kind whatever, is ut first
perfectly fiat. The sheet used is rolled
and placed on the ground on one side of
the table; the worker takes hold OF the
unrolled end and passes it at regular in
tervals beneath the stamper OH the block,
and by the help of contrivancc worked
by the feet, or by motion of the handle.
the stamper descends with sharp rap
AID rises up again immediately. With
great rapidity the pens are removed from
the block, and the sheet pushed on.
The process is similar to that of the
stamping of seals on paper, with the ex-
ception that i'll the case Of pcn-making
the steel sheet placed on the matrix.
The subsequent processes, such az round
ing the pens, putting on the name and
number, splitting the nibs, are all exc
cuted by stamping machines nearly in
the same manner as the first process. In
every case only one single pen is done at
time. The last process is the temper
ing, and is the most important for
through all the various stages up to the
twenty third process the pen remains in
d brittle state, end hence it is unsi. for
use until it is tempered. The pens lone
sort at time) are put into large pan
placed within heating apparatus large
copper cylinder-but not directly over
the fire; and by an ingenious process
tn. are kept constantly stirring and
shifting about, 20 that an equal degree of
heat is impaired to each single one.
This process goes on for short time
and, when ended, the hot pens are scat.
tered on the floor to cool, which being
done the work is completed, and the
manufactured articles are ready for Use.

SACREDNEss OF A PRoMIsE.-An emf
nent British statesman is said to have
traced his own sense of the sacredness of
q promise, to curious lesson he got
from his father when a boy. When
home for the holidays, his father pointed
to n wall which he intended to have
pulled down. 9..
"Oh," said; the boy, 81 should so like
to see wall pulled down"
"Well, my boy. you SHALL" said his
father.
The thing however escaped his memo
ry, and during the boys absence num-
Der of improvements were being made,
among others the pulling down of this
wall and the building of n new one in its
place.
When the boy came home and saw it,
he said, "Oh father, you promised to let
me see that wall pulled down"
Instantly the father remembered his
promise, and was deeply panied to think
that he had seemed careless of his plight
ed word
"My boy" he said, "you are right, /
did promise, aud ought not to have for
gotten. 1t is too late now to do just
what I said J. would, but you wanted to
see wall pulled down and 50 you
shall" - 2n
And he actually ordered the masons up
and made them pull down and rebuild
the new wall, that ns nearly ns possible
his word might be made good. if.
~ cost me twenty pounds" he said to
a friend who was bantering him about it,
"but," he added solemnly, "if it had cost
me hundred, should have thought it
n cheap way of impressing upon my
boys mind, as long as he lives, tue i'm
portance mau of honor should attach to
his plighted word"

The State Canvassers.
CoL1rMn1A s O. NJ,

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. q.
The Board of State Canvasscrs, yester-
day, made n report to the Supreme Court
Stating the persons who had received the
highest number OF votes for the Offices for
which they were candidates. Appended
10 the report of the result, was Il memo
randum of the Board, stating that, in
their opinion, the county Irregularities
which affected some Of the Republican
candidates, should be corrected; and also.
that the vote of Laurcns and Edgcfeld
counties, which gavo large Democratic
majorites, should be excluded on account
of fraud and intimidation.
This morning the Court passed an or
der commanding the Board to issue cer
titicates of election to all the persons who
were shown by the report OF the Board to
have received the highest number of votes
for members of the Lcgislaturc-;rclu-
ding the counties Of EdgcHeld and Lau-
renS.
The Court to-day took up the case of
the election, and issued Rule on the
Board to show cause why they should not
correct tho statements of the Comfy Cam
vassers by the Precinct returns in their
possession. Pending these proceedings of
the Court, and Notwithstanding their own
resolution that they would take no action
until their powers and duties had been
defined, by the Court

which defeated their own candidates, and
ignoring oil Of the same character, which
would have elected the Democrats. The
board then adjourned sine die. This ac-
ton of the Board has created much cx-
citement, but the citizens are determined
to rely upon the courts, and exhaust all

Views Of Northern Journals.

~ NEW York Nov. %.
The Times says the South Carolina
Board of Canyassers recognized some
what late the mistake in submitting their
action TO the review and control of the
Supreme Court. In issuing its orders to
Judicial body of entirely independent
jurisdiction, that court was guilty of a
manifest usurpation. Insconsenting tc
argue the case before the court, the BoarG
of Canvassers gave these orders the ap-
pearance Of validity which could not
otherwise have been claimed for them.
The clear intention of majority Of the
Supreme Court was to do the work Of the
Democrats at whatever sacrifice of con-
stitutional right aud common justice.
The World says the Board of Canvass
ers yesterday stole the electoral vote of
that State openly from the Supreme
Court with tho avOwed object of offering
1t to Hayes. The robbery was brazen
and shameless. 1t rests with the Aneri-
can people to decide whether they will
surrender the control of their government
to such hands, or maintain their liberties,
sself-respect and prosperity by enforcing
the remedies Of the law against lawless
conspiracy Without parallel in our
annals.
utu "nyo ~ thio very SuuIp
practice, if the Supreme Court cannot
support its authority, which the board
have defied, the State must be counted
for Hayes. The audacty of this act be-
trays great desperation. If undone, in
the course of justice, it will stand as
monument of infamy.
The Post says the best thing the South
Carolina Board of Canvassers can do is
to re-assemble. The country will not be
satisfied with their proceedings, which
look like sharp practice. We admit that
the Supreme Court itself is not free from
q suspicion of sharp practice. No ap-
pearance ofjudicial sharp practice, how
ever, can excuse the sharp practice of
the Board Of Canvassers. In the first
place, the conservative opinion of the
country demands respect for the judg-
ments of the constituted tribunals 1t is
better that a decision which is wrong
shall be obeyed than that it shall be dis
obeycd, even TO secure right end. The
proceedings of yesterday in South Caro-
iina will not convince the country that
the canvass is honest and fair.
