vote recorded, and but two Democratic men,
bers (Mills, of Texas, and Morse, of Massa-
chusetts,) voted in the negative. The affirm
ative vote was 145, and the preamble and
resolutions were declared adopted. There
was a great deal of confusion, uproar and
excitement throughout the day, but no DEM
onstrations attended the announcement of the
result.
In the House on the 18th, the army ap.
propriation bill was discussed. No further
progress was made in investigation matters.
Mr.. Stephens authorizes the statement that he
was paired off, and consequently could not
vote on the Potter resolution appointing a
committee to investigate the Florida election !;
but had he not been paired, would have voted
against the resolution.
In the Senate, on the 2Oth, the judiciary
committee returned bill providing for the
admission of female lawyers to the Supreme
Court of the United States with the report
that there is no law prohibiting court from
admitting a woman to the bar, and, there
fore, there is no necessity for legislation on
the subject. Mr.. Morrill, made an elaborate
speech against the resumption act, after which
Mr.. Cockrell, of Missouri, called up the bill
placing Gen. Shields on the retired list, with
the rank of Brigadier.G General. The bill was
amended by adding a section providing for
placing Gen. Grant on the retired list with
the full rank and pay of General, except that
he shall not be allowed forage for horses, or
Communication therefor, or aids-de-camp or
other staff officers, unless called into active
service in time of war. A long debate fol-
lowed, and finally the amendment was agreed
to by yeas 80; nays %. A long debate then
followed on the bill as amended, and without
action the Senate adjourned. In the House,
the select committee on alleged frauds in the
Presidential election was announced as fol-
lows: Potter, of New York |; Morrison, of
Illinois; Hunter, of Virginia; Stenger, of
Pennsylvania Mcmahon, of Ohio; Cobb, Of
Indiana; Blackburn, of Kentucky Cox, of
Ohio; Butler, of Massachusetts Reed, of
Maine; and Hiscock, of New York. A ca

was presented, asking to be subpnnaed be-

EDITORIAL INKLINGS.

- The Executive Committee Of the Re-
publican party, were in session in Columbia
last week. Their proceedings are yelled in
mystery, though it has transpired that the
proceedings we're characterized by harmony
and an earnestly expressed desire to accept
the situation and make the most of the
chances before them. 1t is understood that
they will make no opposition to the State
Democratic ticket, which is "already virtual
ly in the field" as Cardozo, who supported
that policy, expressed it. AS intimated in
another part of this paper, the policy of the
party, thus far developed, indicates that their
efforts will be concentrated in the struggle to
secure county officers and representation in
the Legislature. The 9TH of August was des'
gnated as the day on which the party will
assemble in Columbia in State Convention.
State Democratic Executive Committee.
- The State Democratic Executive Com
mittee assembled in Columbia, at 10 o'clock,
A. NJ, last Thursday. Twenty-three counties
were represented. Several hours were occu-
pied in the discussion of various matters of
interest touching the coming campaign, and
the meeting then adjourned until 4! P. M.
On reassembling in the afternoon, the COM
mittee, after some discussion, fixed upon
Thursday, the 1st day of August, for the as
semblpg of the State and Congressional Con-
veutions, on which day they will be held in
Columbia.
The outlook for the coming campaign is re-
ported by the county chairmen as very cheer
ing, and no doubt is entertained as to the
overwhelming triumph of the Reform party.
It seems to be confidently expected that the
Radicals will make desperate fight for the
control of the Legislature but their strug.
giles will only bring out the full Democratic
vote and make the campaign interesting.
Pennsylvania Republican Convention.
- The Republican State Convention of
Pennsylvania met at Harrisburg, on the 10Th.
J. N. Purviance was elected temporary chair
man. On taking the chair, he said that the
mission of the Republican party was not yet
ended, and would not be until unity and peace
aball have been established in all parts of tho
country. After permanent organization, g
platform of resolutions we're adopted to the
following purport:
That the Republican party of Pennsylva'
mia is opposed to free trade in whatever dis
zuise presented, unchanging devotion to home
Industry, and hereby avows its special and
direct hostility to the tariff bill now pend
ing in Congress, the same being in the utter

up the secrets of messages conveyed by it to
other telephone wires. The company hopes
to establish telephone communication with at
least four thousand towns, too small to sup
port the expense of telegraph operator. The
system will be such that any one having &C,
cess to telephone can, in few minutes
time, be put into communication with any
one else having such access, and the two can
converse in entire confidence, without the in
tervention of even an operator. Telephone
clubs will bring the privileges of telephone
communication to almost every one.

some few petty depredations in York, he came
to this county and set in to work for Mr.. j.
H. Latham. Notwithstanding his previous
experience of misfortunes, he soon took oc-
casion to rob the house of Mr.. Latham and
attempted to make his escape. He was ar

this place, plead guilty of the charge, and is
now serving a sentence of two years in the
State penitentiary. A requisition will be
made for him by the Governor of North Car

The County Commissioners, yesterday. in.

it involved the question of the validity of

This scheme, if pursued, and it is now fully
inaugurated, can only have the effect Of fur

promising, casting gloom over every house

by throwing doubts upon the Legitimacy Of

the record of that party, one wing of which
rebelled against the government, while the
other wing gave them aid and comfort.
We call, therefore, upon all who opposed
the rebellion of 1851, without distinction of
party, to rally we'll to the support of law, or

with defeat the reckless agitators who, to gain
political power, would add to the present dis

Governor Hampton on the Situation.
--A A Columbia dispatch to the Nsscs and
Courier of Monday, says that Governor
Hampton, in conversation with a reporter,
spoke very freely of the resolutions introduced
by Potter of New York, and adopted by the
House of Representatives, looking to an in.
vestigation of the electoral frauds in Florida
and Louisiana. It is doubtful, however,
whether the Governor would have said much
on the subject, had not the Executive Com
mittee of the Republican party Issued an ad-
dress to the voters of the United States in
connection with the question. This gave to
the action of the House of Representatives
breadth and potentiality which it did not pos
sess so long as the Potter resolutions were
merely confined to discussion by the political
parties composing the House. The cores
pondent quotes Governor Hampton as fol-
lows:
Governor Hampton was asked what he
thought of the wisdom of "any attempt
to unseat President Hayes. This was preg'
nant question that could hardly elicit, it
would seem, a brief answer, inasmuch as
many considerations must enter into discus
sion, when "any attempt" to remove the Presl-
dent is in issue. Without hesitation, how
ever, Governor Hampton said: "l think
that any attempt to unseat President Hayes
would be most unwise, unless, it had been
made previously perfectly clear that he was
party to system of fraud which se'ted
him." Governor Hampton added: Il do not

was REPRODUCED in the same and other
forms. Thcie was nothing in the
history or early training of either
Chace, Hathaway or Stickney to var
rant their being placed in charge of
such great trusts rs those they have
held and abused A precocious smart
ness, fine personal address and insin-
Mating manners introduced them into
good society, with which they made
close connections by marriage. This
connection made, they were to be TAX
en- care of, and corporations with large
capital. business firms, savings banks
and national banks were created AZ
will, and such men placed in charge,
and the community has seen the re.
suit.
1t is more than intimated, in fact it
assumes nearly a direct charge, that
those three comparatively young men
have been but the agents of parties
who have benefited by their discrep-
ancies, but who have been careful to
shield themselves behind the techni.
calites Of law. The Fall River cor
poratious, that have been so deeply
involved through their agents, have
requested silence, for fear of disturb
ing the great financial interests of the
country, and bringing about discredlt
among business men. But in the
light of recent events silence would
be crime, and the men who created
Chace, Hathaway and S.ickney, and
who winked at, if they did not en-
courage, their monstrous frauds, must
submit to the verdict of the people
when the revelations which those
three criminals will doubtless make
are given to the public.-BoSton TrLU

Spreial business alutites,

We have received a book just pub
lished, entitled "A Treatise on the
Horse and his Diseases" The book
is finely illustrated with about 30 ex-
celleht engravings, which show the
positions and actions Of sick horses
better than can be taught in any other
way. 1t gives .he cause, SYMPTOMS
and best treatment of diseases, has a
table giving doses Of medicines, and a
few pages on the action aud uses of
medicines. In the treatise on each
disease it is plain and practical so
that any person can readily find out
just what to do, as technical terms
are avoided as much rs possible, maxi
ing it just what every farmer and
horse owner needs. 1t has Il large
collection of good recipes and much
other valuable information. As the
publisher, B. J. Kendall, NJ. D., Enos-
burg Falls, VT, will send it to any
address on receipt of 20 cents, every
horse owner should improve this op-
portunity of procuring this useful
book.

The Fall River Frauds.

The Fall River troubles which have
eliminated in the plea Of guilty on
the part of Hathaway, and the COM
INITIAL Of Stickney, are teaching the
public Il practical lesson, which will
doubtless prove beneficial.
In the crisis of 1858 the manufac-
turing corporations were among the
first to succumb. This led to investl-
cations, and the Investigations proved
u rottenness and mismanagement be-
yond precedent. Indignation among
the small stockholders followed the
fact that the interests Of these great
corporations had been confded TO the
care of inexperienced men, young
men whose education and training had
been in almost every other field than
that of business and finance. Nepo-
tism bad flourished everywhere, and
young men who had been extensively
educated with a view to profession
al career, but who had shown no par
tieular fitness for such u career, were
disposed Of in some such way as the
younger sons Of the English nobility.
Their fathers or immediate relatives
being large and influential stockhold-
ers in manufacturing corporations,
they were provided with profitable
positions, either as clerks or lreasur-
ers. For time this evil was checked,
popular opinion having compelled a
change, but the war soon followed, and
in the general decentralization The evil

Dispatches to the Boston papers say
that A. L. Stewards relative, old AL
eXander Stewart of Proctorsville, a
first cousin Of the great dry goods
merchant, has completely turned the
tables on the parties who claimed to
be his attorneys in the suit to recover
Il part of the fortune left by the dead
millionaire. Thursday, his friends,
including his daughter, called on him
at the Metropolitan hotel with the
view to induce him to return home,
but the old man seemed bent on stay
ing to vindcate himself from that
which he conceires to be sheer case
Of blackmail; he declares that his de-
tentiOn at the hotel subject TO Hilton,
simply saved him from the clutches of
sharpers. lie declares that he Incl.
dentally mentioned his relationship,
which is admitted by Mrs. Stewart, to
lawyer Chapman at Proctorsville, ana
Chapman seeing, as he thought,
chance to receive a portion of the
estate, engaged another lawyer, named
kneeland, Of New York, to draw up
papers and enter q suit, all without
the knowledge or consent of the old
Vermont farmer. When Hilton dis
covered that the two lawyers wanted
100000, it seems that lac made close
inquiries, ard finally secured the old
man who was being duped into some
proceeding by giving the lawyers
carte blanche to go ahead. Says the
old man MY father and A. L Stew
arts father were brothers. | never
told Chapman to sue, and don't want
to sue. Nobody has offered me q
cent, and | am here on my own free
will. / don't want to be made a tool
in any Matchmaking scheme. Those
fellows are liars and perurcrs." Now
the question is badly muddlcd. as the
old farmer declares against Chapman
and Kneeland. Hilton succeeded in
obtaining possession of all Chapman
correspondence, showing authority for
entering suit. Kneeland was ordered
by Judge Donohue of the supreme
court, last Thursday night, to show
cause why he should not be suppant-
ed as counsel. Knceland declares
that he asked 100000 as Il comprom-
Use, because an old woman, Ann Jane
Bailey, one OF the Irish heirs, is in a
destitute condition and wanted money
to keep her from The poor-house. AL
together it looks now as though the
public would be treated to one of the
most complete conspiracy trials in the
court annals Of the conntry.--Her-
