Our religious weekly contemporary,

lows:
I'VE complain OF SANDER and rendacity but the

Nonsense. No honest man lie contaminated
except he is seduoed into becoming public
plunderer; and no spotless character Is smirched.
The furious contests are nothing but the efforts
OF the BLAIHEs, CoLFAxEs, and GRANTS to keep
their dishonest gains and their hypocritical
characters both. The system Is bad enough, but
1t only Injuries those whose natural inclinations
are toward thievcry and plumber.

ate. While not wishing to be under
stood as opposing the election of Mr..
/ Faulkner, yetiti is known that thispa-
per has been, and is now, favorable
to the reelection Of Hon. Henry G..
| Davis. Mr.. Davis has made a most
excellent member of the Senate, and
has in all his private and official
acts, shown himself to be the warm,
ardent and true friend of the people

his energies, influence, and votes for

preparations to our Rivers, and is
still laboring zealously for that end.
The improvement of the Great Ka-
nawha River and it's tributaries is a
matter in which all our people are
deeply and vitality interested, for in
the improvement of this river and
its tributaries, depends in great
measure, the development of our
vast mineral resources, From the
information we have, we are satisfied
our people desire the return Of Mr..
Davis to the Senate. We hope that
the Representatives in the Legisla-
ture from the Third District will
give to Mr.. Davis their votes
for United States Senator, and there
by reflect the wishes of the people.
As to the other Senator, it is con-
coded on all sides, that he will be Ia
ken from the Third District, and
among those named, are Hon. Frank
Hereford, Gov, Price, Hon. W, II.
Tomlinson, Hon, Judge C. P. I.
Moore, and Henry S, Walker. We
are ready to stand by and support
either one of these gentlemen, should
he be the choice of the Representa-.
tiycs in this District. We have our
preference among them, but shall not
place our paper in hostility to the
expressed will of majority of our
Delegates.

the situation is more serious than
ever. Two Houses still in session,
two speakers still claiming the chair

lawless, contesting day and night for
the place of power, the hour for the
inauguration of the Governor close

Sleepless nights and days without
rest have tendency to annihilate
amiability, and the wranglo in the
South Carolina House was not GER
tain to continue to be a peaceful one,
even in the absence of interference
from without. But it was reported
last night that State militia would
undertake to remove Mr.. Wallace,
the Democratic Speaker, from the
chair and eject the Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature from Edgefeld
and Laurens. 1t is said that this
movement will be sustained by the
United States troops, report which
we do not like to credit. The Deople

The enormity of the outrage in
South Carolina is more easily under
stood when we remember that the
soldiery of the United States inter
fered in a matter belonging exclu.

that when the House is the 'soleiudge'

The gentlemen who claimed to have
been elected members of the Assem-
bly, from Edgefcld and Laurens coun-
ties, and bore a certificate of election
from the highest court in the State,
should have been admitted to the
hall, the gentleman who claimed the
same seats, and showed certificates
from the Board of Canvassors, should
also have been admitted. The House
should have been allowed peaceably
to organize, as it would have done,
and the contested seats would have
been dealt with as in all legislative
bodies. There is nothing revolution
airy, unusual orunjust about this pro.
gramme. The organization Of the
Legislature would have been effected
in accordance with law, and order
and peace would have prevailed
Now, there is excitement and conlus-
ion, and, as the Eroniug Post, of New

Remember that this was wholly a

Speaker of the House OF Dele
gates.

Amovement towards making Capt,
Eustace Gibson, of Cabell county,
Speaker Of the next House of Dele
gates, appears to be gaining strength.
Two points are favorable to his can
didacy. He is a clear-headed and
fairly versed parliamentarian, and
he represents a district remote from
that which will doubtless furnish
the President of the Senate Wheel,
ing Standard.
The above sentiment has also been
very recently expressed by the Mar,
tinsburg Salesman. We are well
satisfied that Mr., Gibson is eminent,
ly qualified for the position, being in
addition to the compliment paid him
by the Standard, a gentleman of great
decision of character, and in many
other respects peculiarly fitted for
presiding over u deliboratiye body,
besides his promotion would be re,
ceivcd as a compliment to the people
of this section of the State. Capt.
Gibson has thus early developed a
degree of strength well calculated to
inspire his friends with strong hopes
Of his success.

In a few weeks more, the Legisla-

In this election, the people have a

State took her station in the list of

citizens, and politically were antag.

In looking over the list of names
that will be probably presented to
