ID. II. Char.0erlain, the late necessItous
creature, bat nov the we'll fed and Caudily-
atired governor of South Carolina, is at
pree.nI busily engaged in stirring up strife
Il the Republican party, to the end that he
may turn the city Of Columbia over to the
tender mercies of Democrats of the Hamp-
ton Preston stripe. The Republicans of
that city have placed in nomination for
mayor DR.. }. F. Eusor, gentleman who has
acquired national reputation for the ability
and success which he has displayed as super
,i1 s!s;.tk OF an eleepasynary institution,
andwhose i7te f gTily is unimpeachable. But
the mere fact that he was Republican was
enough for Chamberlain and his cohorts of
the Thompson-Cardozo ilk, and TO aid in
the discontinue OF the party which had
transformed the Governor from a beggar
into a capitalist, they have succeeded in
having the Democracy place in nomination
against Dr.. Ensor an INSCRIPTIONS Demo
crat of the name of Stanley, whose record
for loyalty IS about on par with that Of
Chestnut Chamberlain's organ, and of
which he is editor, by the way, warmly
espouses the cause of Stanley, and coOlly
tells the Columbia Republicans that the
time has come for them to disregard party
lines, and place none but reputable men in
office. Chamberlain sees that his only hope
Is in a coalition with the Democracy, and
trusts that by toadyiDg to such men as
Stanley the Democracy may be induced to
practice intimidation and murder, and in
November next re elect him to the Office
which he has disgraced by his treachery.
He seems forgetful of the fact that only a
short time since he was heartily denounced
by the Democracy of the Ku- Klux regions,
who admonished him that while they loved
the treason they despised the traitor. But
the adventurer is playing desperate game,
and is withal SO suspicious character that
Republicans will do well to watch linn
closely. Let the Republicans in Columbia
spurn a coalition with blood stained rebels,
and rally as one man to the support of the
regular nominee of their party. In no
other way can they hope to put Chamber
lain under their feet and in due time re-
msnd him and his insolent followers to the
insignifcance from whence they emanated

HOUSE ELL 1898, now before the Sen.
ate District Committee, has some perni-
cious features, which will be found de-
scribed more in detail in our local columns.
Il is a bill which passed the House under
the guise of regulating the compoundng
and selling of drugs and poisons, and
simply places the power in the hspds of
the National College of Pharmacy and the
Board of Health for cresti12S monopoly
Of the entire trade. 1t excludes women
and boys and homeopathic pharmacists
from the business here; and the result
would be to shortly gather the whole bust
ness into s<close corporation monopoly.
Under MS law Mrs. Gilman could not
carry<6n the business of her deceased hus-
bad, even though she employed precisely
>the same clerks and assistants who served
her husband, for a longer period than
twelve months. The bill is full of mon
strous errors, and should be clrefully
amended by the Senate Or defeated en-
tirelY.

Active measures are being taken to per-
suade Caleb Marsh to return to Wash
ington. This smacks strongly of business.
There is nothing this country needs as
much as Caleb's presence in Washington,
unless it be the absence of the Exon
federate House. There is no alternative.
He must come back. The country will go to
the dogs unless he returns. The impeachment
trial is blocked. Belknap hangs on a slender
thread between conviction and acquittal. Pen
dleton is still outside of the prison bars.
Hester Clymer has a reservoir brimming full
of lachrymose brine, which he is preserving for
the conviction of the War Minister, and it will
sour on his hands unless Caleb returns to his
native heath and yields up his stock and store
of damaging testimony. The Democratic
House has not done anything for the country,
and will not do anything until Caleb returns
and settles the impeachment question. 1t
seems as though he were clogging the wheels
of the universe. Our commerce is going to
decay. The voice of the Granger bug is once
more heard in the land, threatening the ami
hilation of agriculture. The Ku-Klux of the
South are gradually laying their polluting and
ruinous grasp onto the throat of State govern
ment. Bob Toombs' voice is for war, and Ben
Hill is passing the cry around. The rag baby
Voudoos of the land are plotting and schem-
ing. Chicago is crying to New York in dis
tress for money. New York is crabbedly YELL
ing back: "Pay us what you owe US !" Banks
are breaking. Money is getting tighter than
the belly band of eternity, and yet amidst all
this scene of misery and trouble Caleb Marsh
persists in keeping the ex-Confederate House
from doing anything to relieve the country, by
blocking the course Of impeachment and keep
ing the business of the National Legislature
at standstill. If Caleb loves his country, if
he has any affection for the land that gave him
birth, he will settle his board-bill in Montreal,
put that contract in his waistcoat pocket, bid
adieu TO the snow-clad hills of the st. Law
renee, return to Washington, and jump boldly
into the breach in the impeachment as a
saviour of his country. In the meantime, if
Hester Clymer attempts to go to Canada or
Europe, the proper authorities should lay on
their graphing hooks and sink his anchor.

HALLErT KILBoURN.

Some of the sensation newsmolgerS
amused themselves yesterday by circulat-
ing rumors to the effect that the American
State prisoner, Mr.. Hallett Kilbourn, was
about to withdraw from the stand he had
taken in defense Of the private rights of the
citizen as guaranteed in the Constitution,
and notify the Speaker Of the House of
Representatives that he was ready to purge
himself of the contempt of which he IS
alleged to he guilty, by answering any
question which it might be the pleasure of
the House to propound. The true relation
Of what was done by Mr.. Kilbourn will be
found in the following letter, which was
served upon the Speaker last night and also
sent by telegraph to all the papers in the
land:

Something has got to be done, and that
Immediately, to the House Of Representatives.
Thirteen members are lying i'll this morning
from cold and throat diseases superinduced
by the unwholesome air in the hall caused by
the miserable ventilation. Something has
got to be done, we say. If it cannot be ven
tilsted skillfully, as well as ornamentally,
then kick the roof Off. Make an air-hole
through somewhere, at least. Make it large
enough, so the pure sunlight and air of heaven
can steal through and revive the sinking,
suffering anatomy now PROSTATE there.
Make it free enough, so that the virtues of
higher moral atmosphere may be drawn in by
the draft of necessity and amply circulated
about the room. Something of this nature
must be done, and done quickly. Think of It
Thirteen members sick and three banks fail
ing on an average every day and our COM
mercial interests completely unsettled be-
cause the financial question is all muddlety-
FUN mixed. It will not do. If they
cannot get air, fresh air, into that room
any other way, concentrated movement
should be made to force Ben Hill into
exploding bis all-prepared speech in de-
Tense of secession. That will rout the roof,
beam and joint, from its anchorage and once
more allow Hills Northern Democratic col
leagues at least to breathe free. While our
ex- Confederate friends are airing their senti-
ments of respect for the lost cause they must
not overlook the necessity of airing the room
at the same time. The foul air and foolish
fancies of the House are rapidly making the
whole nation sick.

tween George II. PendIeton and Gentleman
G.Pendleton he secures the control of large

obtains payment for this claim. Then by
further agreement between himself and him
self arrangements are made whereby he robs
a widow and her offspring of $4,000. The
Democrats and Republicans threaten to put
Belknap in dungeon. The Democrats pat
Pendleton on the back and say, "Shrewd

years prior to the survey. Patent was is
sued to hin by the United States on the
18th of May, 1869, he having proved up
and complied with the general presumption
laws. Defendant claimed title under q
State patent issued to him BY the State Jam
uary 6, 1869. This is the status of the
case as presented to the court in Santa
Clara county, which in conformity with the
decisions OF the State Supreme Court, de-
cided' in favor of the State title, holding
that the grant of the 18th and seth sections
from the United States to the State wac
grant in present., and that the title vested
absolutely in the State at that time. The
case was appealed and the Supreme Court
affirmed the decision of the Court below,
and on rehearing rendered second similar

point of law, affecting more than million
acres Of land in the State. was Of too much
Importance to be dropped, and it was &C.

ments were made by both sides. That
