fourth instant.
Mardi Gras passed off without an i'm
portant untoward incident or accident, and
there were very few arrests of any kind
made by the police.
Only two days more Of the regular session
of the Legislature.
People generally were not satisfied with
one display yesterday. Although thou
sands and thousands of persons, young
and old, rich and poor, good and bad, were
on the principal streets all day to look at
Rex and his followers, multitudes were out
last night to gaze on the wonders of Comus.
Ward, the hired assassin who attempted
to kill Mr.. Devereaux, has not had lis hand
amputated.
The new moon last evening made good
effort to shine, consequently the city's gas
lamps were not seen.
The municipal police courts yesterday
attended to no business except disposing Of
few unimportant cases.
At half-past six o'clock last evening, Viii
liam Robinson, colored man, was stand
ing in his front door, on Camp, between
Erato and ITALIA streets, when an unknown
person shot him, the bullet lodging in the
back of his neck. The wound was SO serious
as to send him to the Charity Hospital. He
can not understand why anybody should
shoot him.
The fire department OF the Sixth District
intends to celebrate its anniversary on the
thirty-first instant with its usual vim:
Yesterday all was fun and frolic. To-day,
sackcloth and ashes.
The commencement exercises of the
Locquet-Leroy Institute took place Monday
evening, and all passed off satisfactorily
The graduates were Misses Emily Delbon

Chronic GROWERS have recently harped
on the presence of policemen, in citizens

grumblers did not have a word Of fault t.
find yesterday when seeing squads OF uni
formed Metropolitars on duty with the pro
cession. 1t is all owing as to whose OK ii

Some of the retainers of Rex yesterday
did not seem to care to keep up their dis
guise.
Many strangers who witnessed the revel

at the strange sights, and declared thai
they would not have missed seeing thu
grand display for half their wealth.

Taft'S Circular.

The Constitution of the United
States in it's Fourth Amendment pre-
scribes' that "The right Of the peo-
pie to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers and effects, against
unreasonable searches and seizures,
shall not be violated and no war;
rants shall issue upon probable
cause, supported by oath or aflirma-
ton, and particularly describing the
place to be searched and the per
sons or things to be seized" In
tho Fifth Amendment it pIescribes
that "No person shall be h ,Id to
answer, etc; nor be deprived of
life, liberty or property, without
due process Of law etc"
This is tho supreme law of the
land, and whoever shall undertake
to violate this law, will do so at his
peril. or any United States Mar,
shal, or Deputy Marshal, or indi-
vidual acting i'll a posse coneitufu$
summoned by a Marshal, whether
citizen, State militiaman, United
States officer or soldier to violate
this law, Tafts circular will afford
no justification and no protection
against legal redress and damages.
The law of the Constitution is
superior in authority and in legal
force to any statute Of Congress and
must ovcrrule and render null and
void any provisions conflicting or
inconsistent with it's declarations.
How much less can tho mere res
cript of Cabinet Officer stand us

of Constitutional law.
Article 7, Section ~, of the Con-
stitution provides that "the times,

State by the legislature thereof !;
but the Congress may at any time,
by law, make or alter such rogulu~

Sioux never appearing in any great

ere they hld attacked the wood train.
The assi,lling force Wis no apDar-

The Election.

We are scarcely able to define orr
feelings ut the glorious result OF the
late general election. For eight long
weary years we have suffered from the
prejudice Of the civil government at
Washington, and have felt for the
same length of time the oppressive
hand of the military, while the car
pet-bagger, the scalawag, and the ne
gro were derriving us of any particl-
in the government of our IA
Tiers, and at the same time in the
name of liberty and Repuhlicanism,
were running riot over the State and
robbing its citizens of the little treas
ure which had not been swept away
by the war. With these facts staring
US in the face, and II wounds bleed.
ing at every pore, is it to be wondered
at that we rejoice at the magnificent
victory whicl, was achieved on the It'll
of November in the centennial year.
With this victory may be expected the
return of peace and good government
to all the people of down-trodden
South Carolina. Halnpton's election
as governor means peace to the color
ed man, low taxation and good gov
eminent to beth black and white.
We will hereafter have representa-.
tive men in the Legislature and com.
petent officers to administer the laws
throughout the country. Instead o
electing negro carpet-baggers from
Massachusetts, refugee negroes from
Georgia. colored strangers from d dis
lance and native negro ignoramuses tc
represent us in the Legislature the
county which has been the home ant
birthplace of so many able states
men and gallant soldiers. we will
have representative ME both good
and true.
