elusive control of them at my time
and when adjudicated in United States
courts prescribe what marshsls should
receive inliquidation of DEGREES and
judgments arising out of them.
There is scarcely anything of prac-
teal Importance in this matter how
ever, and We should have let the adj
dress pass altogether without notice
ifit had not been for fear of the bad
use likely to he made of this COM
m~unication by hat portion Of the
press in our midst hostile to the De-
mocracy.
There Is not the least probability
from present outlook that there will
occur during the 45th or 10th Con-
gress a favorable opportunity for
either Judge Buckner nor any other
representative to give efficacy to the
expressed wish of his party. What
ever can be done towards dispaacing
national bank paper with ,greenbacks
will have to be carried out in OPPOSE
ton to a veto and in connection with
Western Republicans who are certain
to have something 70 say as to how
they will impart assistance. Eastern
Democrats are as certain to oppose
the movement and the party here may
even propose some modification of its
demands in its next deliverance.
What his constituents asks of Judge
Buckner, is to Go the best that can
be done. If it can be so managed that
greenbacks c~o-extensive with the
business of the country, that shall be
receivable in payment of all contracts
except those exclusively within State
jurisdiction, and where agreement to
the contrary exists can be put into
circulation there will he satisfaction
on all hands.
The community understands that
whatever shall be received at the Gus
tom Houses, land offices, post of
ficers, and marshals and attorneys
offices and in all the various dues of
government and inforced as legal ten
der in United States courts will be
received as money by everybody,
everywhere.

HON. A. ii. BUCKNER'S AID
DRESS.

AAOAN. "a Il CNNNE - All
DRESS.
We insert in this paper an address:
from the Hon. A. II. Buckner to his
constituency.
AS 10 Ill known, we have adyocat-
ed the State Democratic platform and
at the same time cast whatever infu-
ence it was possible for US to exert in
favor of Judge Buckner, whom We
supported on account of what appear.
ed to us his peculiar fitness to repre-.
sert this State at Washington, not at.
taching any practical importance tc
the exception taken by him to the
Jefferson City platform, and prefer.
ing him infinitely TO his competitor,
Judge Fagg.
Our views are wholly unchanged.
What we want and what we believe
the public requires Is g~reenbacks
clothed with all possible legal tender
power.
1t must be obvious to every careful
reader Of Judge Buckner's address
that he comedies more than seven
eighths of what the Democracy of this
State has demanded.
The words that Judge Buckner
takes exception to are as follows 4:
Legal tender notes commonly called
greenback should be made a legal
tender in the payment OF all debts
public and private, except such OBJ
legations as are in the terms Of the
original contract expressly made pay
able in COIN"
Judge Buckner is careful to State
SIT must be borne in mind that the
matter in controversy is not IS to the
power of Congress to issue notes of
the government. That has never
been denied, but universally conceded
as well as the power to make them
receivable for public dues. The issue
is whether Congress can give these
notes the function of discharging
debts between individuals"
The Judge then lays down as the
basis and support of his argument
this proposition. There can he no
question but that the whole subject
of contracts is exclusively within the
Jurisdiction of the States"
1t is just here that the issue made
against the platform begins and ends,
and that issue is thus, Congress is
invested with authority to regulate
foreign and Interstate commerce. and
has exclusive jurisdiction of the ocean.

Hon. A. H, Stephens.

The Charleston Journal Of Conn.,
merce pays it's respects to Mr..
Stephens in the following manner:
Mr.. Stephens was States Rights
man in 1882; but he opposed the
nullifcation of the unconstitutional
tariff of 1928, the first great lesion
on the Constitution. He was q
States Rights tr1an in 1851 2; but
he opposed action to prevent the
unconstitutional exclusion Of South
ern men with their property from
the territory Acquired from Mexico
by blood and taxes paid by The
people Of the South. He was q
States Rights man in 1860, advo-
eating the right Of Secession, but
was opposed to the remedy against
a revolutionary sectional party
coming into power. When Presi-
dent Grant, through Judge Durell's
midnight order. and Marshal Puck
ards United States troops rs a
posse, overthrew the State gov.
ernment of Louisiana, elected by
a clear majority of from 5000 to
$4,000 votes, Mr.. Stephens came to
the rescue of what the Radical
committee of privileges and elec~
tions, consisting Of Messrs. Morton,
Carpenter and others, pronounced
in February, 1873, q usurpation
and a fraud. In volunteer letter
he undertook to justify President
Grant and his use of the United
States troops. Mr.. Stephens
always argues correctly in advance
but when the tilno comes to con-
summate by action what he has
declared, he does not come to time,
but invariably disappoints expecta-
ton.
This review of the great COM
moner's record is not out of place
in view Of his recent action in
boiling the Democratic caucus. If
the report is true, which is circu~
lated, despite Mr.. Stephens denial,
that he was pl Lifting with Hayes to
defeat the Potter resolution, and
promised to take twenty-five
Democrats with him, his offence
against the Demo cratic party is of
a very serious nature.

The New Election Law.

The new election law makes sew
'eral changes from the law now ex-
isting. They ore briefly as follows /:
Two boxes shall be provided, one
'for Federal and the other for State
elections, and the boxes shall be
kept in separate apartments.
Two boards of election commits
sioners shall be appointed by the
governor, one for State and one for
Federal elections. Both political
parties shall be represented.
The precinct managers shall re-
port in three days-each to it's re-
>spective board of election managers.
The governor shall appoint an
Traditional board of State canvassers
to count the votes for Federal off,
'cers.
The polls shall be open from
eight o'clock, a. M, to five o'clock,
!p. m, instead OF from six to six, as
heretofore.
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1878-06-04

will be little contest over the
State nominations, the generally
expressed opinion being to let well
enough alone. In tho matter Of
Congressman there may be con~
test, in which case the sentiment of
the county should be deliberately
expressed in favor of some candi-
date, without leaving the matter to
be decided haphazard, by selecting
delegates bhndly. There is still
time to attend to this matter. It is
much better to have any contest
that may arise, settled in the
subordinate clubs before the nomi-
nation, than 10 have dissatisfaction
after the nominations shall have
been made. Let the delegates be
carefully selected.

The County Convention.

The County Convention meets OF,
the 18th instant, to elect q
Chairman and to take what action
1t sess proper in the selection OF
delegates to the State and Con
gressional Conventions. It would,
perhaps, have been better, had the
call specified exactly the work to be
done by the Convention, for in that
case the clubs could have selected
delegates more intelligently. We pre-
sumo however, that the Chairman
pretsrrsd to let the Convention cut
Quits work for itself. Under the
circdmstsnces it is very probable
that delegates viii be chosen for

Maj. T. W. Woodward.

In another column will be found
IN extract from the minutes of
Jackson's Greek Club, containing a
resolution proposing Mi. T. w.
Woodward for Congress. THIS is a
deserved compliment. No man in
South Carolina has labored more
consistently or zealously for the
rehabilitation of the State through
the triumph of Democracy than
Major Woodward. His ability and
integrity are unquestioned. Two
years ago Major Woodward led
uniformly in the triangular contest
in the Congressional Convention ;
and he failed to secure the nomina-
'tion only through q combination
against him. Should Major Wood
ward be chosen as the standard
bearer Of Democracy in the fourth
district, he will make rattling
campaign, and will bury any un
fortunate Radical that may run
against him, so deep with Demo-
cratic votes that even the last
trump will fail to resurrect him
without the aid of telephone. We
would be pleased to see Major
Woodward III Congress, and there
fore submit bis claims to the people
Of this Congressional district.
