mail, rs consideration for Withholding
from this wrong, and to have thereupon
entered into negotiations TO that end with
those claiming to represent those boards.
But whether this be so or not we do
not in any way irst!fy or excuse their
action. They committed gross wrong,
injurious to the candidate they desired to
serve and an unqualified outrage upon
the great party to which they belonged.
go far as appears from the testimony be-
fore Us these negotiations were not au-
thorized by the Democratic National
Committee nor its chairman, nor any
person entitled to speak for them.
Neither has any witness testified that
these negotiations were authorized or ap-
proved by the candidate for the Presi-
dency.
In the case Of South Carolina the nc
gotiations proceeded so far that this
Hardy Solomon, claiming to bo the agent
of the Canyassing Board, came to Balti-
more to receive the large sum of 5000
or SS0,000, to be deposited, payable when
any part of thc vote of that State was
counted for Tildcn. And an application
being then made to Mr.. Tildcn to adj
vance the same, he at once declined and
refused to have anything to do with the
negotiation, whereby the same was
broken up and defeated.
In Florida the dispatches disclose that
two propositions were transmitted, and
that one of them was directed to be con-
ditionally accepted.
In Oregon what occurred was made the
subject of examination and report by
former committees.
The persons connected with these ne
gotiations, so far as we have secured their
testimony, all declare that their connec-
ton with them was in no way authorized
by Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden, whose particu-
lar friends they were. Mr. Tilden has
himself voluntarily appeared to corrob.
crate that statement under oath, and nc
witness has appeared before us to contra.
dict him or to establish that his name
had not become associated with these
transactions through the mistaken zeal ol
his followers and friends and without
authority on his part.
No charge from any source whatever
has at any time attached to the name Of
Mr.. Hendricks.

The. coming presidential canvass is
eliciting considerable interest all over the
country, even this far ahead of time, and
the New York Herald, with its usual
enterprise, has been publishing the opin-
ions of leading men throughout the
Union. Among the Congressman whose
views have been made known, we note
the names OF Coils. Aiken and Evins,
and give below the Herulds report of
their position:
Mr.. D. Wyatt Aiken, of the Third
District of South Carolina, expresses his
preference for Mr.. Thurman, and does
not think Mr.. Tilden could get a demo-
cratic vote, rs he did not fight for his
right to the Presidential chair. He does
not believe the republicans will nomi-
nate Grant, as the masses do not want
him. Mr.. Aiken prefers Mr.. Thurman
to Mr.. Bayard on financial questions, and
moreover, he has more backbone than
Bayard.
Mr.. John II. Evins, Fourth District,
says Mr.. Thurman has the best chance,
because he is more acceptable to the
Democrats Of the South owing to the po-
sition he has taken on the financial ques-
ton. The Democratic nominee will no
doubt be opposed by Grant. In that
event Hancock will be good candidate
to oppose Grant, and no doubt Hancock
would accept. He would be satisfactory
to the South. Tilden has not ghost Of
a chance for the nomination.

A Queer Batch OF Contradictory State
ments.
WASHINGTON, March s, 1879.

w AShlNGlON, halCu o, 1919.
Ex-senator Patterson to-day received a
letter from the attorney general Of South
Carolina granting him full pardon and
oblivion for any indictments pending
against him in the State. Mr.. Patterson
will leave here in few days to accept an
important trust under the Southern Pa
cifc Railroad company in Arizona.
COLUMBIA, March s, 1879.
Inregard to the Associated Press dispatch
to the effect that Patterson has received
formal assurance from the attorney
general of this State that all proceedings
against him have been discontinued, your
correspondent made inquiry to-day of
Governor Simpson, who replied by an
emphatic assurance that he knew of no
such promise or understanding. Attor-
ney-General Youmans is in Charleston.
Attorney General Youmans, who 10 in
the city, was visited by reporter for
the Ne1s and Courier yesterday, and re-
qucsted to state the terms upon which
this amnesty had been granted to Seua-
tor Patterson, and the reason which had
induced it. The attorney general stated
that the announcement contained in the
dispatch was entirely new 10 him, and
that he had neither written, nor author
lied to be written, any such letter to
Senator Patterson. lie was totally una
ware that any such amnesty had been
granted, or that the Governor had any
intention of so doing.

There is very interesting contest now
progressing over the Speakership Of the
next House of Representatives, to be
chosen at the opening of the extra ses-
sion OF the 18th inst. The prominent
candidates are Speaker Randall, of
Pennsylvania, and Representative Black
burn, of Kentucky, with Representatives
Morrison, of Ohio, Springer, of Illinois,
and Cox, of New York, spoken of to a
considerable extent. 1t is thought, how
ever, that the contest will be principally
between the first two named, with chan
ces in favor of MIR. Blackburn, who is a
talented orator and brilliant parliament
tartan. Several Western and Northern
men, it is asserted, will support him with
view of testing, in a practical manner,
how the South will exercise power if it
should obtain control of the government.
We trust that in the contest the South
vii, sustain Speaker Randall, for he has
shown himself to be firm and able
presiding oficer-fair in his rulings and
Independent in his judgment and express
siops. Mr.. Randall has commanded the
confidence and respect of the whole
country during his two terms, and his
continuance in Office by Southern votes
would do much to disarm the bloody
shirt shakers of the Radical party OF
their much INDUCED cry that if the
South should obtain s strong influence
in the affairs of the nation, it would use
its power to aggrandize itself at the e1-
pense Of other portions of the country.
While we admire Mr.. Blackburn, and
would be pleased at his elevation, we
prefer the election of the Pennsylvania
statesman. The country wants a re-
storation of confidence, and the Demo
cratic party should consider thoroughly
the effect of any change before it is
made.

Suffering fer a Life Time.

Persons afflicted with rheumatism often
suffer for life time, their tortures being al
most without remission. The joints and
muscles of such unfortunates are in most
cases shocliingly contorted and drawn out
of shape. To afford them oven temporary
relief, the ordinary remedie, often prove
utterly useless, Ho,tetter's Stomach Bit
tcrs, on the othor hand, i, avouchcd by per-
sons who have used it, to be a genuine
source Of relief. 1t keeps the blood cool by
promoting q regular habit Of body, and re.
moves from it impurities which, in the
opinion Of all rational pathologists, origi.
nate this a:onizing complaint and its kim
drcd malady, the gout. Besides this the
Bitters remedy disorders of the stomach,
liver ard nerves, prevent and eradicate in
termittcnt and rcmittent fovsrs, promote
appetite and sleep, and are highly recon-
mcnded by physicians as a desirable medi
cinal stiniulant and tonic.

Judge Mackey to two years ut hard labor
in the Penitentiary, or to pay a fine of
500 and the costs of suit. Pendergrass
wrote communication, which was pub
lishcd in the Washington National Re
publican, on November l1th, charging the
managers of election at Kingstree with
stuliing the ballot-box, and charging sew
eral citizens With voting two or three
times at the general election in 1878.
The investigation of the charges showed
that there was no truth in them. So.
licitor Hirsch prosecuted the case With
his usual zeal and ability. Pendergrass
is the swift and vindictire witness who
testified so glibly before the Teller conf
mittee during the recent session in
Charleston.

The question as to whether Patterson
has been pardoned or not is a very easy
one to settle. The State authorities deny
that they have sent him any pardon, but
the question the people wish answered
is, Have they granted him a pardon ?
It makes no difference about the sending,
if it has, been granted the effect will be
the same. If Patterson has been par
doned it is the duty of the States officers
to make it known, that the unrest in the
peoples mind may be quieted. If they
have not given a pardon, immediate
steps should be taken 10 secure his return
to this State for trial. There ought not
to be any further indulgence to Patterson.
He is charged with the gravest offences
against the laws of this State, and has
disregarded the process of the properly
constituted authorities. The honor of
South Carolina is involved in the prose-
cution of the leading official criminals of
this State. The Democratic party has
repeatedly, before and since its accession
to power in this State, in the most posi-
tive and public manner accused Patter-
son, Chamberlain and their confreres
with grave crimes, and asserted en-
ability to prove it upon them. These
charges were either true or untrue,
and the State owes it to her own
integrity of purpose to give the men who
have been so charged the benefit Of q

In consequence Of the ill-timed and il

In consequence Of the ill-timed and in
tensely selfish course of the Republicans
in attacking Jefferson Davis during the
Senate debate on pensions for the Mexi-
can soldiers, the veterans of that war
will have to go unpaid for some months,
if not for q longer period. This, how
ever, is not the only result of the debate
1t is said that the result will be to elect
Jefferson Davis to the United State Sen
ate after the 4th Of March, 1881, to sue
ceed Bruce, the colored Senator from
Mississippi. It is believed by sending
him to the Senate where he can speak for
himself before the country that a stop
will be put to the constant abuse which
mas been heaped upon him by the Re,
publican leaders for the purpose Of
stirring up strife and bitterness between
the sections.

The great danger to the cause of free
government in America lies in the ten
dency to destroy the States and establish
central government, which by slow but
sure degrees will pass into despotism.
This result is likely to be advanced in a
Lres.-substantial manner by the course
pursued by oficious and partisan Judges
of the United States Courts, who, from
some other motive than judicial one,
are moving in the general direction Of a
complete destruction Of State rights and
the authority of State Courts. The latest
and most fragrant step Of this kind is the
action of Judge Rives, Of Virginia, who
has released two negro murderers because
negroes were not empaneled upon the
jury 70 try the case, and recently, at the
session of the Court at Danville, has
caused the Indictment of several Of the
County Judges of Virginia on the charge
of violating their oaths by not enforcing
the amendments of the constitution in
that they having the supervision Of draw
ing juries have failed to have larger
number of negroes upon them. This &C
ton has properly aroused the most in
tense feeling in Virginia, and the matter
will be vigorously fought to the Supreme
Court of the United States. The act it.
self, though upjusti6able upon any
ground, is of small consequence COM
pared to the fatal precedent it sets if it
should be sustained. The Democratic
party and the patriots among the Repub-
licans, who love the Union better than
party, could not perform more merito-
rious or wholesome deed for freedom
than by impeaching Judge Rives for
high crimes and misdemeanors. When
ever the execution of State laws becomes
subject to the review of United States
District Judge, constitutional liberty is
at an end, and the day is not far distant
upon which tyrant will rule "the great
est nation the world ever saw" with a
despotism limited only by his own
caprice.

The President has issued call for an
extra session of Congress, to be convened
on the 18th inst, in consequence of th'
failure of the expired Congress to pass
the ordinary appropriation bills before
the time fixed by law for its adjourn
ment. This failure, as our readers know,
is due to the political differences about
the election laws between the Senate
controlled by Republicans and the House
controlled by Democrats. 1t has not
been frequent for extra sessions of Con-
gress to be called, and only seven, in
Guiding the one to come, have ever been
ordered since the adoption of the Con-
stitntion. The first was called by John
Adams, May 18th, to provide for the
threatened French war; the second by
Van Buren, September 4th, 1887, to con-
slider the suspension Of the banks; the
third by Harrison, May 3lst, lS41, to
consider new policy of revenue and
finance; the fourth by Pierce, August
-21st, 1856, (three days after adjourn
ment) to provide for prosecuting an In
dian war; the fifth by Lincoln, called on
the 18th of April to meet July 4th, in
consequence OF the fall of Sumter; and
the sixth by Hayes, on October 18th,
1877. Thus it will be seen that Dir.
Hayes has called twice as many extra
sessions as any other Presideat, and two
out of seven in the whole history of our
government. The first of these extra
sessions was necessitated by the persist
ence of the Republican party in inter-
fering with the State governments with
United States troops, upon which occa-
sion the Democratic House of Represen-
tatives starved his excellency into obey
ing the Constitution by refusing to grant
money for the army until the troops were
Withdrawn from the State Houses Of
Louisiana and South carolina. In tnls
instance the Democratic House has be-
gun seige upon the Infamous test oath
for jurors and the partisan use of to
which supervisors are put in elections.
This is very efficient line of battle, and,
if persisted in, will certainly triumph,
although the President at present bids it
defiance. 1t has, however, two years in
which to accomplish its task, and how
ever much it may be distasteful to the
Republicans, they may as we'll make up
their minds to let these methods of op-
preston and wrong be numbered with
the things that were.

trial, that the charges against them may
be judicially proved or disproved. To
pardon or temporize with these men is
to admit that we have charged them
falsely and know it. To pardon
them would be to offend three-fourths of
the portion of the people of South Caro-
lima who desire to see her ancient honor
and self-respect maintained in our day:
These charges amount to a matter of
principle, and the cases should be most
vigorously prosecuted. We trust that
Governor Simpson will make acquisitions
for such of the culprits as may be located
within the knowledge of the State au-
thorities, and that Attorney General
Youmans will prosecute them with the
ability, fidelity and success which marked
the administration of General ..Connor.
By so doing they will receive the we'll
done of the people of South Carolina.

HOW LITTLE CAN A PERSON LIVE
ON

This question is one of those most FIRE.
quently asked, especially in these times
Ii is often put in reference to family,
also, by some young persons with view to
matrimony. Then the inquiry is; On how
small an income is it Safe to get married
No rule on the suject can be laid down; so
much depends upon individual tastes and
economy. We knew a wealthy merchant
who began Housekeeping on an income of
$500 year; and yet he managed
to lay up something every year.
He became rich. and after re-
naming rich many years, in conse-
quence of the imprudence of relative asso-
ciated with him in business, he failed. But
instead Of taking the benefit of the bank
rupt law and getting rid of his liabilities
without paying them, as he easily might
have done, he went resolutely to work, and
through his lndomitable energy and strict
economy he paid off all his debts, and final
" died in Independent circumstances.
Now, many young men IN the same position
in life would find the income on which he
cot married and laid up money insufficient
for their tailors' bil yet this gentleman
dressed with scrupuous nicely that was
the subject of general remark So it is in
everything; one man will make n dollar
suffice where another would require at least
five dollars or perhaps more, and it is very
difficult for the casual observer TO tell
wherein the difference lies. Perhaps the
safest rule is, that whatever your income
may be, if you can lay up something from
it, then it is safe for you to get married. If
you are not able to do this, then, though
your income be abstractly speaking, large,
you will still find it too small, relatively,
to your expenses
