Marshal Wallace interviewed.

The election law of the United States
provides for the appointment of super
vvisors of elections and deputies. The
former are appointed by the United
States Commissioners. In making these
appointments, the Commissioners are
bound to choose one from each political
party, in order that both parties shall
be equally represented at the polls.
The deputies are appointed by the
United States Marshal, who uses his own
discretion in these appointments.
A reporter Of the Journal Of Commerce
called upon United States Marshal, R..
M. Wallace in order to ascertain from
him how he intended to make these ap-
pointments, and elected the following
facts. The Marshal stated that it was
left with him entirely whom he should
appoint, that there were certain counties
in the State in which he would appoint
none but Republicans, that he did not
think that he could trust a Democrat in
those counties. There were other coun-
ties in which he would make the ap-
pointments equal between the two polit-
ical parties, and that there were certain
other counties in which. he did not deem
it necessary 20 make any appointments
whatever.
When asked why it was that he in
tended to choose from but one political
party in certain of the upper counties, be
replied, that he was responsible for all
deputies appointed, and would not feel
authorized to choose from the Democrats
in those counties for that they have
openly announced that no Republicans
would vote lhere, and he did not see how
he could trust the Democrats in those
counties; and he would not assume the
responsibility upon himself, as he was in
q great measure accountable for the &C
tions of all the deputies whom he might
appoint.
TO the question, whether if the Chair
man of the Executive Committees for
each county should recommend certain
parties for appointment he would approve
of the same and commission them? he
answered that he would investigate the
matter, and if the parties we're such as he
thought could be trusted, be certainly
would, and that he would be glad if the
Democrats of each county would send in
the names of parties whom they wished
to recommend to those appointments, SO
as to give him an opportunity to investi'
gate.-Jounal Of Commerce.

A MULE WILLING TO Goa bad
little boy in Portland lit pack of fire
crackers and threw them into the street
to see them "go off," One of Ike Bate
mans mules came along and swallowed
them before they event off," The mule
walked about fifteen feet and stopped.
Things wern't acting right inside. He
began to taste the smoke of the fire
crackers, when he laid his left ear around
against his ribs and heard something.
It was the crackers having fun. The
mule picked out about three and half
miles of straight road and started. A
negro met him about mile the other
side of the aims house, going south, white
with perspiration, with streams of smoke
shooting out of his nostrils, mouth and
ears, while his tail stuck straight up, and
a streak of blue and green smoke, about
ten feet long, following in the rear. Ike
found his mule the next day, sticking
half way through a farm house near
Paddy's Run, still smoking. The man
had got his family out and put them into
lot of trees. Ike hauled his mule home,
when he got cool enough, on dray. The
man is going to move his house further
back off the road, and his wife and eldest
daughter will be baptized when theweath-
er gets warm. ''-'2 -. -. -

The PHYSICAL BENEFIT OF SUNDAY.
Sunday is Gods special present to the
workingman, and one of its chief objects
is to prolong his life and preserve eff
cient his working tone. In the vital sys-
tenn it works like compensation pond;
it replenishes the spirit, the elasticity
and vigor, which the last six days have
drained away, and supplies Inc force
which is to fill the six days succeeding;
and in the economy of existence it an
swers the same purpose as the economy
of income is answered by a savings bank.
The frugal man who puts away pound
to-day, and another pound next month,
and who, in quiet way, is putting by
his stated pound from time to time, when
he grows old and frail gets not only the
same pound back again, but good many
pounds besides. And the conscientious
man who husbands one day of hts exist
ence in a week-who, instead of allowing
Sunday to be trampled and torn in the
hurry and scramble of life, treasures it
up-the Lord of Sunday keeps it for
him, and in length of days and hale of
age gives it back with usury. The say.
ings bank of human existence is the
weekly Sunday.-NorM British Re-,

A SOLDIER OF THE BATTLE OF WA
rERLoo.-Rev. Thomas Dawson, of Pen
dleton, aged 81 years, was in attendance
on the Baptist Association at this place
last week as messenger from the Saluda
Association. He is the Oldest living
minister of the Gospel in the State OF
South Carolina. He was once lieuten-
ant in the English army. His regiment
was engaged in the battle of Waterloo,
at the defeat of Napoleon and the French.
After peace was declared, he came to
this country, and for many years drew
his pension from the English govern
ment, and finally, under act of Parlia-
ment accepted two hundred guineas as
quit claim for all future pensions. His
wife died two years ago after having
lived with him fifty years. Besides MIR.
Dawson, there are many other old minis
ters in the Baptist Association, eight OF
whom are over 75 years of age, and two

In Tennessee the whites are largely in
the majority, and the blacks take no part
in the government except to vote, and it
makes no difference how they vote, as
between the races, as the whites are two
to one in the majority. In South Caro-
lima the blacks are largely in the majori-
ty; they are the governing power, and
thus it happens that one Southern State
is very quiet, and all moves along we'll,
while the other is in condition border
ing on anarchy, and, will be until the
whites come to the top. The blacks SUBJ
nit to the majority; the whites do not.
And it is an error to suppose that the
rising generation in the South will SUBJ
nit to be ruled by the blacks, be the
black majority what it may. The black
majority in South Carolina, Mississippi
and Louisiana will be overcome-;f not
in one way, then in anoSber. Nothing
can keep the whites under excepta war
each generation, The generation that is
thoroughly whipped out will submit, but
the next and the next will revolt, and so
on forever. Revolt, Imean, against local
black government, just as they did in
Mississippi las5 fall, and just as they are
doing now in South Carolina Suppose
they should succeed in overthrowing the
local government here, and the federal
authority should set il up again, how
long would it stay up? Until Uncle
Sam got his back turned. Nothing less
than standing army-continued appli-
cation of force-can sustain the govern
ment of the Republican party in any Of
the cotton States.
Well, suppose the Democrats should
elect a President, what then !? The
black governments in the cotton States
would Iall like blocks oe cards, no: would
the National Democracy trouble them
selves to set the same up again. We
could w!ite "inis'' over each. b.a
You must recollect that there is now
generation in the South who took no
part in Che war-they have come upon
the boards since-and' it is this genera
ton Of young America that are taking
such active steps towards "redesming"
South Carolina, that. are forming ride
clubs, sabre companies and the like.
The object is to do good deal of para
ding around at night, and intimidate the
blacks by a display of force, but without
a resort to actual violence.

and politicians for years past, died at his
house in Deering, Maine, on Sunday. He
had been identified, first and last, with
many money-making schemes, had owned
largely in real estate, end was once prom
inently identified with the Franklin tele-
graph company. In politics, he was dem
ocrat of the bourbon stripe, and time was
when he could make rousing stump
speech. He was joval fellow among

stories to tell about his rough-and- tumble
ways and his frequent disregard of the con-
yentionslities.

Canital Punishment.

Editor Rutland Glo5s:- notice bill
introduced in the legislature, to abolish
capital punishment. l am not surprised
that the frequency of The crime of murder
of late in our state, should lead our legis-
lators to enquire if there is not some other
mode of punishment that will do more to
prevent the crime than capital punishment.
think no man will dispute me, when l say
civil law is founded upon moral law, and
that civil law, is the bes. which comes near
EFT the moral law. God both made and ex-
ecutes the moral law. "The soul that sin
meth shall die "Whomsoever sheddeth
mans blood by man shall his blood be
shed,' are Gods laws, so for as God exc
cutes his own law, he will do it in every
instance but when 1t is left to man to cx-
ecute Gods laws, they are afraid and do it
in childish manner.
There are reasons that make men commit
murder, that should be removed. Among
them are these Men violate laws with i'm
puuity in every day business add are never
punished for SO doing. We have upon our
statute booke, laws that are dead letters
men violate with immunity. No man ever
committed murder, until he had previously
violsted other laws. We have law against
profanity when was man ever punished
for profanity Yet some times our noun
tain valleys are blue with profanity. We
have law against selling liquor, yet it 10
sold on every corner in every village in the
state. A man is prosecuted he says he can
buy off the prosecutory officer, and get
clear. His neighbor says he can murder,
and buy off the prosecutory officer. The
remedy for murder lie not in mitigating the
punishment for murder, but in executing
our laws Furnishing for lesser offenses.
Expunge from our statute books every
law that is dead letter. Repeal our pro-
hibatory liquor law. Give US a sound H.
every violation of it. Keep upon our stat
ute books, death for murder, and you will
have few if ally murderers to hang. Raise
high the motto "let no guilty man escape"
S art with the principle "thst it is a sin to
steal pin," and men will fear to do wrong.
because they will get punished for doing
wrong.
The man that holds that any and all pun
ishment Is wrong, may honestly ask for the
repeal OF this law, but as death is the great
est punishment man can have, and as muir
der is the blacklist crime man can commit,
il he will commit the deed he deserves the
severest punishment. For the safe of the
lives of the people execute the lesser laws,
but hang for murder.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
