HoN. WILLIAM 0RToN, president of the
Western Union Telegraph company, yester-
day forw arded TO the speaker of the house Of
representatives. to Hon. William R. Nor
rison, chairman of the house committee now
in New Orleans, and to Hon. 0hver Z. Nor
ton. chairman of the senate committee on
privileges and elections, a point blank refusal
to produce copies Of dispatches called for by
these officials, and deemed necessary by them
to the protection Of the government and the
country from frauds supposed to be prac-
ticed in the recent elections, and TO which in
Louisiana, especially, ii is believed Chandler
and Grant were privy, basing his refusal upon
the following resolutions said to have been
adopted by the board Of directors of the
Western Union Telegraph company, at a
meeting held December 22d, 1876:
gaesolred, That the Western Union telegraph com
pany regards itself as the eendential agent OF such
OF the people Of the United States as may wish TO
emplOy rs agencies for the transmission OF com
muncations by telegraph, and Is bound 70 resist p
eyery lawful means, ali publication or eIamlnatlon
JRssoisSf. That except such messages as may be
directed by the sender TO be preserved for period
not ,xeeeding SIX months the executive committee
ts shsshy directed 10 provide n the future for such
,spe.dT destruction OF all written messages as the
necessary keeping Of accounts between the respect
I've Offices OF the company VII allow.
Res0lgrf. That the Ooard OF directors hereby ap-
uroye the action OF the executive committee In re
inOYing all messages now on hand from the control
or possession Of any OF Its oncers
la reply TO Mr.. 0rton's dispatch to Mr..
Morrison, stating that he would not be pres
ent in New Orleans In obedience to the sub
peua. Mr.. Morrison says he val commum-
cate the fact 10 the house that it was believed
that these facts, and others disclosed In the
testimony of Mr.. Barnes, telegraph manager
at New Orleans, and Mr.. 0rton's former
communication, showed a purpose on Mr..
Orton's part to hinder the committee IN
It's investigation, which the house might
regard as contempt Of ifs authority.
If the telegraph company had passed reso-
buttons like this years ago, and had lived up
10 them. we should not have word to say;
but. in view of what has occurred IN Loulsl-
ana. coupled with the reputation of Chandler,
Grant & Co. to bulldoze that State. we can
NOT but regard the action of 0rton and his
hoard of directors as an attempt to cover up
the tracks OF the conspirators and save them
from Impeachment and disgrace. If there IL
mower in the house to compelthe local agents
of the company to produce the dispatches
needed, we hope It will be exercised IN full.

OUR SOLDIER DEAD.
Funeral OF the Late Lieutenant M'Kin-
ney, L. s. A., Killed in Action
with the Indians In the
Black Hills.
His EulOgy by an Old COmrade in Arms
Now Known as Rev. DIR. Parsons,
Rector OF st. Lazarus.

The remains of the late John A. Mc-
Kinney, q. S. A., who was recently killed by
the Indians in the northwest, were inferred
on Sunday in Elmwood cemetery, near the
city. The funeral was largely attended, both
the old and the young joining their sympa-
thies and tears for the honored dead Around
the metallic casket containing the corpse was
wound the flag of the Union, aud upon this
was the brave soldiers sword, a wreath and
a cross Of evergreens and immortelles. Four
white horses drew the hearse, and behind
was led the dead soldier horse, saddled and
bridled. The Chickasaw Guards and Bluff
City Grays acted as a military escort, and
when the funeral train moved slowly down
Madison street to st. Lazarus church every
one of the many who gazed upon the mourn
full pageant felt keen pang at the conscious
ness Of the fact that one of the nation s
noblest men had so early sunk to rest. The
band IN front Of the hearse played sweet, sad
music, whose strains were in accord
with the feelings of the mourn
ers. Upon reaching st. Lazarus the
two companies formed open ranks, through
which the coffin was carried into the church,
and placed in front of the chancel by the
pall-bearers, Major c. G. Hunt and Lieutel-
ant L. Z. Hunt, United States army; Major
w u. D6nydru, OuIJeQ STATES engineer corps;
w. C. M'Nutt and Lewis S. Frierson, of the
Chiekasaw Guards; and Sinclair Arnold, of
the Bluff City Grays.
The Funeral Services
were Of the most solemn character, and there
was not dry eye among the many who had
assembled and filed the church to overflow
ing. The choir, in solemn and plaintive
tone, rendered Pelton's touching chant Rev.
DIR. Parsons read the funeral service, after
which he announced hymn No. 512, which
was sung by the choir as follows:
Lead, kindly Light, amid the enclrcling gloom
Lead Thou me on.
The night is dark and am far from home,
Lead Thou me on.
Keep Thou my feet; do not ask 10 see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.

ShOuldst lead me on

Lead Thou me on.
loved the gorish day; and, spite Of fears,
Pride ruled my will remember not past years.
So long Thy power has blest me, sure 1t still
VIII lead me on
Der moor and few, o'er crag and torrent till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which have loved long since, and lost awhile.

therefore cannot stand.
Q-But, Judge, suppose we are, as

Judge-If any member of rife club

count, [ will direct his immediate dis
charge and order the arrest of the ar
resting officer.
Bystander-Well, Judge, We will
drill on your responsibility; and if We
are arrested, viii apply to be brought
before you.
Judge-Every Judge in the State,
except WIRgip (aud he has not been
heard from) has expressed the same
opinion as mys eli.
Byst4nder-But We may be brought

On Wednesday night. in New York,
there WIS a great public meeting to
lear whas Parke Goodwin had to sa,
about the political " situation" He
made lucid statement and a power
fu argument why she nation should
elect Hidden, aud thus get rid of Radi-
calism, and reform the Govern ment.
After he concluded, Judge Thomas J.
Mackay, OF the Circuit Court of South
Carolina, was called out and introduce
ed to the audience. He was warmly
received, and made speech, which is
noticed as follows by the World re-
porter
L" After speaking at great length on
the past and present condition of South
Carolina, Judge Maokay said that the
people OF lis State were determined to
throw off the oppressive yoke which
they had borne for the past seven
years. Cheers :" We are carrying
the flag Of the Union, aid consider
ourselves good and loyal American
citizens. Cheers. We mean to stand
firm i'll our s1tort to free ourselves
from the abuses henped upon us by
corrupt rule, but We mean to accom-
plisit this by the ballot and not by the
swold Cheers Since the close of
the war We have greatly suffered from
the present pernioious government.
At that time tha population of South
Carolina was 100000, composed of
about .400,GO bi.ck. and 279,OOO
whites. In july, 1863, the debt of the
State was S., 900, GOO, and in six years
1t had increased to $40. 100000. The
public printing alone one year cost
$500, 600. he whole taxable property
Il VT not Il t,,
from which tie Republican, extracted
s., G00, 00n yearly. All the work of
the Legislature could be completed in
thirty days, but the session is extern
ded over 100 daye, costing each year
$6I2, COO The system of taxat.rL in
the State amounted to nothing sholt of
coufiscatlon OF property. ["Shame ~
Columbia. the capital Of the State, has
tax OF ] per cent, while the bank
rate of interest is from eighteen to
thirty per cent, owing to the great
risk Of making any kind Of investment.
We cannot draw capital from the great
North III exchange for the products Of
the State, now wasting for the want of
a proper market. There are, out of
is, COO, 900 acres of arabic land, only
5000, 900 acres under cultivation,
owing TO the high rate of interest and
the vicious system OF government
The cnly class of persons who have
done we'll in South Carolina are the
carpet~baggers AMI the office holders
the latter grow richer as the Gov
ernment grows more corrupt laugh
ter, and are likely to do SO until they
are wiped out at the coming election"
[ Applause The speaker then refer
red to the nomination of General
Wade Hampton for Governor of South
Carolina, who, he said, was free from
political taint, as were the other De>
IL ocl attic candidates for office. They
Intended to do their duty, and had
dared to face their Republican ene-
mics even in spite of the bayonet.
