GRAND DIVISION.

The quarterly meeting of the Grand
Division of the Sons of Temperance of
South Carolina convened in Orangeburg
on last Thursday, Grand Worthy Patri-
arch A. B. Tower, presiding. AS is
usual with the quarterly sessions, the
attendance, though good, was not equal
to that generally had at the annual meet
ings. The reports of officers were re-
ceived, and the order encouraged by the
statistics, showing the number and zeal
of the temperance workers in the State.
Routine business was taken up and dis
patched, and it was decided to leave the
question of holding the summer session
of the Grand Division with the G. w. P.
and G. S., aud in the event they decided
to call the meeting, it was also referred
to them to fix the place for its session.
There was large and influential mass
meeting which was addressed upon the
subject of temperance in stirring speech
es on Friday night. The entire gather
ing was pleasant and harmonious.

resolution remains uncxecuted to this
day; on the 9th of May, 1900, the House
of Representatives. resolved that mauso-
leum be erected to Washington in this
city; on January l, 1901, the House
passed bill appropriating 100000 for
the erection of such mausoleum; on
July 4, 1S4S, the cornerstone of the pres
ent monument was laid in the presence
of the President of the United States
and of the chief officers of all the three
departments. 1t has reached height of
less than two hundred feet, is unfinished

trymen. -

bit of sacrilege not only passed unre-
buked; but, judging from the litter
which ran through the galleries, was re-
garded as something akin to joke.
"oDD FISH" IN WASHINGTON.
A Congressional session is always sure
to attract to Washington small army
of green people from almost every State
and Territory. Most of these people are
here to prosecute claims before Congress.
Many of these claims are founded in
equity; but very large proportion of
them are of such a character as not to
deserve a moments serious consideration.
The claimants come here, in every i'll
stance, with high hopes; but, after few
months experience, they despair of
favorable action, and either beg or borrow
the money to return home, or remain
here to gravitate, daily, nearer and
nearer the workhouse. I was reminded
OF this to-day, by seeing an excessively
seedy North Carolinian who came here
on foot, soon after Congress assembled,
to urge that body to- pay him the insig-
nifcant sum of $25 for jury duty per-
formed about year ago. He is conf
cal looking genius, and, although quite
dignifed in mien, wears a battered
"stove-pipe" hat innocent of a particle of
nap, and dresses in the shabbiest manner.
He is accompanied by his son, boy of
twelve or thirteen, and both may be
seen, any day, on Pennsylvania avenue
or in the Capitol Park, lunching on a
loaf of bread which "the claimant" car
ries under his arm. He speaks conf
IDENTIFY of the passage of bill for his re-
lief, and says that when he gets the $25
due him from Uncle Sam, he intends to
publish a volume of poems, the fruitage
of his leisure hours in Washington.

this attempted pardon. 1t is that the
presiding Judge is required to certify
that Lilley had testified fully and in
good faith" How could any Judge dc
this unless he knew all the facts of the
case himself? He could not certify that
the witness had not told the truth or q.
falsehood; that he had not told more or
less than he knew; or, in other words,
the condition was impossible, unless
the Judge knew all that the witness
did, or was omniscient. We do not mean
to say that the Governor has done this
wrong intentionally, but we do mean to
say that his conduct was very much to
be deprecated, and that Judge Northrop
acted wisely and commercially in refus-
ing to sanction so dangerous precedent.

MORE OF MACKEY.

After the failure of the State to con-
vict B. G.. Yocum at Chester, Judge
Mackey obtained the bench and sem
fenced Ben Mikell, a notorious criminal
of Chester, who the Judge termed a
short time since, .'the most desperate
criminal in the up-country." He told
Ben that he had rendered great service
to the people by testifying against Yo-
cum, and paid this desperate criminal
other compliments, after which he SEN
fenced him to twenty-four hours in the
County Jail, and afterwards ordered his
release before his sentence had half ex-
pired. Many persons believe this was
done by the Judge because Yocum was
not convicted, and it is regarded by many
citizens of Chester as an outrage upon
justice and law. If Judge Mackey per-
sists in thus ignoring the law in his con-
duct as Judge, it may result in many
evils to the people of his Circuit, for a
Judge cannot expect law-abiding peo-
pie unless he himself upholds and de-
tends its majesty by upright and Impair
tial action. Even if his original sentence
of Mikell was a proper one, the Judge
must know that after it had been passed
he could not alter or ameliorate it.
When he released Mikell before the ex-
piration of his sentence, he usurped the
pardoning power of the Governor, and
grossly abused his position as Circuit
Judge. We are still of the opinion that
the Legislature ought to have taken
charge of this "erratic and impulsive"
Judge and removed him from the Office
for which his temper seems to insult
him. Those Conservatives who voted
against investigating his official conduct
at the last session of the Legislature
made a sad mistake.

one time the vouchers for this balance,
but they had been lost or mislaid. He
admitted that as the money was turned
over to him by Col. Whitley he deposited
it in bank:to his own credit, along with
his own private account, and he kept no
separate account of its disbursement.
He next attempted to account for the
expenditure of the first SIS, 900 received
prior to Sept. 81, 1872, but the utmost he
could do was to show that he paid out
$4,273.45. There was nothing to show
that the same things for which this
money was paid were not also charged
for in his regular accounts rendered to
the Treasury Department, but his simple
statement that they were not. He had to
admit also that all of these expenditures
were unauthorized by any law, and that
he had without any warrant of law con-
tracted debts which he afterward per-
suaded the President to order public
money to be given him in order that lie
might liquidate them.

THAT CONDITIONAL PARDON.

Although some of the papers of the
State have discovered that Governor
Chamberlain acted wisely and properly
in granting conditional pardon to John
Lilley, we fail to perceive anything in
the published papers, which we reprint
this week, that will Justify this extraordi-
nary step upon the part of the Governor.
There are two points of view which rem
der the action of the Governor improper,
according to our view of this question.
The first is that, if the facts contained in
the petition were true, Lilley is as great
q criminal as Yocum, and as he was
already convicted of grand larceny, in
breaking a store in Chester, he was a
greater criminal and deserved more pun
ishment than Yocum. Release would,
therefore, have been the liberation of
the greater to secure the punishment of
the lesser criminal. II the Governor
believed these charges, it was his duty to
have removed Yocum from the position
Of County Treasurer, and left Lilley to
suffer the Imprisonment he so richly de-
serves. The second point is, that if the
facts presented warranted the pardon of
Lilley, the Governor should have granted
it without any condition, for it was a
great outrage upon the rights and liberty
of Yocum, who is citizen of South
Carolina, to offer to grant pardon to a
thief in the penitentiary for nine years,
on condition that he should testify "fully
and in good faith for the State against
the defendant. This inducement to a
witness was very improper, and a man
with the Governors legal experience
could not fail to perceive its probable
influence upon such criminal as Lilley.
Such action is not to be countenanced
for an instant in land of law and order,
for it is hostile to the very liberties of
the citizen. If such machinery should
be allowed to enter into our court trials,
the conviction of any man who is obnox-
ious to Governor could be secured, for
if allowable at all the chief magistrate
of the State must be the judge of the
person and circumstances justifying such
action.
There is another singular thing about

THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Gov. Chamberlain has conferred the
appointment of Attorney General, to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation of
the Hon. s. W. Melton, upon Maj. Will
liam Stone, of Charleston, who is we'll
known to many of the citizens of Ander-
son, as he was stationed in our town for
some time in charge of the Freedman's
Bureau. Maj. Stone is native Of Maine,
and passed his early life in Massachu;
sets. He is comparatively young man,
and has seen great deal of hard service.
In 1861 he entered the Federal army as
private in the 10Th Massachusetts, Vol
unteers, and in that capacity served in
the Army of the Potomac, being engaged
in the most desperate and important bat
ties of the war. He was severely wound
ed at Sharpsburg, and at Gettysburg he
was equally unfortunate. He was SUBJ
sequently transferred to the Veteran Re-
serve Corps, and was promoted to the
rank of captain and brevet major. In
1866 he received the appointment Of first
lieutenant in the regular army, which
position he held until 1870, when he re-
signed to enter upon the pursuits of civil
life. : For some time after the war closed
he was on duty in the Freedman's Bu-
reau, and was stationed at Anderson,
Aiken and Columbia, in this State, and
at Louisville, Ky. Although filling an
unpopular position, rendered SO by the
unmanly and partisan conduct of many
officers, Maj. Stone was always regarded
as just and honorable. officer, who was
intent upon the discharge of his duties,
and not disposed to foster i'll feeling and
distrust between theraces. His manage
ment of the difficult questions so often
arising between planters and laborers, SO
far as we are informed, always gave satis-
faction to the community while he was
stationed here. After leaving the army
he began the study of law, and entered
upon its practice as the partner of Maj.
D. T. Corbin. In 1871 he was appointed
Assistant United States District Attorney
for South Carolina, which position he has
since held, and discharged its duties with
vigor and energy. Maj. Stone is about
81 years of age, small in stature, with
pleasant, affable manners. He has de-
voted himself assiduously to a .knowl-
edge of his profession, and is considered
entirely competent for the important du-
ties of Attorney General. He has never
mixed in politics, although Republican
of the most pronounced type in senti-
ment, yet he does not mingle politics
with business. There is grave and seri-
GUS work before him, and We hope that
he will be found equal to the emergency.
In all things pertaining to the welfare
of the State and the Inauguration of
genuine reform of past abuses, we expect
to give him whatever sympathy and as
sistance we may be able.

A STRANGE MIXTURE OF BABIES
Yesterday morning two women in the
west part of the town gave birth to chill
dren in the same room and at the same
time. The woman who cared for the
little strangers, bathed and clothed them
and started to present them to their wait
ing mammas. Then she made the start
ling discovery that she had inextricably
mixed the infants so that she was unable
to decide which was the mother of either.
The two mothers cast lots for choice,
agreeing that if the children should when
grown, develop family traits sufficiently
to identify them, they should be ex-
changed if the selection should prove to
be incorrect.-Des Mo:nes lo,oa) Regis

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
EXEcI1TIYE CHAMRER
COLUMBIA, April 19, 1876

COLUMBIA, April 10, 1876.
Hon. L. C. Northrop, Judge Circuit Court:
DEAR S1R-An application has been
made to me by the solicitor of the sixth cir
cult for the pardon of John Lilley, now
confined in the State Penitentiary under
sentence for grand larceny, in order to
make available his testimony in the case
of the State vs.. B. G. Yocum, which you
are about to proceed to Chester to try
upon the order of the chief justice. This
application is also made by Charles S.
Brice, ESQ.,, who is associated with the
solicitor in the prosecution of said case.
The question thus presented to me has
occasioned me much embarrassment
The parties to the controversy, out of
which the present case has grown, are
liable to bias and prejudice. And | am
above all things anxious to do everything
for justice, nothing for revenge. If Lii
ley's testimony is essential for the ends
of justice in a case of great public impor-
tance, must not prevent it from coming
forth. On the other hand / must not
aid in any effect to purchase or manufac-
ture evidence against any one.
The official statement made to me by
the solicitor and Mr.. Brice is entitled to
great weight, and after mature considera-
ton and consultation I conclude that it
is my duty to grant the pardon on certain
conditions, namely: First. l shall insert
in the pardon the condition that Lilley
shall submit himself to full examination
before the court on the trial, and that the
pardon shall take effect only on your GER
tifcate that he has given evidence, in
your judgment, fully and in good faith.
Second. I shall place the pardon in your
hands, to be offered or not to Lilley, as
you in your judgment shall deem most
conducive to the ends of justice.
know that you will appreciate this
responsibility and will act discreetly.
You have power to use or withhold the
pardon, as your judgment and official
duty shall dictate.
Very respectfully, your obedient SER
want,
D. Fl. CHAMBERLAIN,
Governor of South Carolina.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1876-05-04

The condition of the pardon was as
follows: "This pardon to have and take
effect only upon the condition that the
Judge presiding in the case of the State
VS.. Benjamin G. Yocum, at Chester
Court House, shall certify to the Gov
ernor of the State, over his official hand
and seal, that the said John Lilley has
testified in said case, in the judgment of
said presiding judge, freely and in good
faith touching all matters as to which he
may be lawfully inquired of in said case"
