The Democrats have managed their
case in Congress adroitly, and with sue
cess so far. When Garfield finished his
speech, in which he charged the Democ-
racy with revolution for attempting to
force the passage ofgeneral legislation by
tacking it on to an appropriation bill, it
was thought to have been an able argu-
ment, which would have great weight
with the country, but the replies of the
Democrats have not only riddled his
arguments, but have overwhelmed him
with an array of precedcnts, which they
clinched by citing an instance in which
just such scheme was championed by
Garfield himself. Mr.. Townsend replied,
collating the precedcnts to which the fol-
owing briefsynopsis shows that the House
of Representatives has for many years
claimed and exercised the very right
which is now claimed by the Democrats.
During Folks administration the decla-
tion of war against Mexico was accom-
plishcd by tacking it on to an appropri-
alton bill, in the famous enunciation that
"war exists by the act of Mexico" and
other legislation relative to the war was
effected in the same way. The very first
Republican House of Representatives in
1861, of which General n. P. Banks was
speaker, tackled on to an appropriation
bill provision forbidding the President
to interfere in the Kansas election. That
was precisely similar case to the pres
ent. In 1867 the Republican Congress
tackled on to an appropriation bill pro-
vision that the General Of the Army
should not be sent away from Washing
tion against his will, and that all orders
should be transmitted through him, &c.
This action was more Objectionable than
the proposition ofthe Democrats now, for
it virtually took from the President the
command of the Army and Navy, which
is conferred on him by the Constitution
itself. This was not considered revolu-
ton by the Republicans. At the end Of
Grants first term, Garfield himself push
ed through as section of a supply bill the
laws authorizing the appointment of
Deputy Marshals and Supervisors. If,
therefore, it was not revolutionary to
pass these laws as sections of supply
bill, how is it any worse to repeal them
in the same way? In addition to these
numerous instances of where Republicans
tried to amend appropriation bills by in
serting general legislation were shown,
and the Republican position was COM
pletely demolished. They cannot COM
plain, with any show Of reason, against
the Democrats for doing nov what they
have 80 frequently done heretofore them
selves.

The army bill with its riders, as the
clauses repeating the test oath and use of
troops and United States Marshals at the
polls are called, passed the House on
last Saturday by strict party vote of
l4S for the bill to 122 against it. On
this question ten Greenbackers voted
with the Democrats and two with the
Republicans. The bill now goes to the
Senate, where Blaine, Edmuuds and
Chandler will make use of it to ventilate
their sectional spleen, after which it will
pass that body by strict party vote and
then go to the President, who, in all
probability, will become obstrepuous and
veto it, which will raise very grave issues
for the consideration of the country.
The fact that ten out of twelve OF the
Greenbackers voted with the Democrats

The woman's suffrage movement is
certainly obtaining foothold at least.
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Minnesota,
: Michigan and New Hampshire, allow
women to vote in all matters relating to
education, and to hold school Offices.
A similar proposition was defeated BY
only two votes in Massachusetts,, and
hence the agitatos have reason to be
hopeful. The fact is, that the step to
general rights of suffrage is not long
one, for if women are qualified to vote
on matters of education, and if it is
proper that they should do so, then we
can see no reason why they should not
also vote in reference to any other matter
of public business.

= We have, upon various occasions,
cndcavorcd to impress upon the Rcpubli-
cans the fact that the negroes are grow
ing tired of the part they have been
mislcd to play in politics. At a meeting
of negroes in Philadelphia the other day,
ex-Congrcssmau Cain, of South Caro-
lima, boldly announced that his race de-
sired to be let alone in future-supple-
menting, in this respect, the recent re-
marks of Frederick Douglas. Let us
alone to take our chances" he said, Just
as you do with other people; !" and he ad-
yiscd colorcd men to drop politics and
give attention 10 their mental improve
mcnt. At the same meeting, another
negro named Tanner called attention to
the fact that there is general disposi-
ton, more prevalent at the North than
at the South, to refuse work to the negro.
The blacks, he said, are everywhere told
at the North, "you may stand by my
side at the ballot-box, but not at the
loom, the furnace, or the workbench" 7"
and, he might have added, not in office.
The colorcd men are opening their eyes
to the inwardncss Of Bcpublicanism.-

The April term of the United States
Circuit Court for South Carolina began
in Charleston on last Tuesday with
Judges Bond and Bryan presiding. 1t
was expected to have had Chief Justice
Waite present at this term, but from
some unassigned cause his arrival has
been deferred to the 18th day of May.
In the meantime the political cases will
be taken up and disposed of. The prose-
cutions will be bitter and relentless, and
every possible means resorted to to pro-
cure convictions. Nine counties in this
State furnish the territory which has
been selected to afford cases for the out
rage mill. They are Barnwell, Williams
burg. Georgetown, Sumter, Orangeburg,
Richland, Charleston, Aiken and Hamp-
ton. There are about thirty-fve cases
and at least Que hundred and fifty de-
PENDANTS. The course of the government
is very outrageous in these cases. The
juries have been packed, witnesses whose
characters are infamous will constitute
the bulk of the testimony, while the
balance will be entirely partisan and un-
worthy of belief; and, in addition to these
things, the cases are to be prosecuted by
the vindictive and malignant Il. W. NJ.
Mackey as Assistant District Attorney,
whose political disappointments will in
duce him to prosecute without judgment
or reason. Thus the whole of the matter
is, that in order 10 crafty Mackey's re-
venge and to give political capital to the
Radicals, the government will be run to
immense expense and scores of innocent
men put to great Inconvenience and ex-
pense. The jurics will be of such unfair

AN OLD DEED.-We saw Monday an
old land grant from Governor VIM.
Moultrie to VIM. Burton, made in 17S5.
The land granted is 200 acres in "Ninc-
ty-Six District" That district at that
time included Laurens, Abbcville, New
berry and Edgefeld, with the Court
House at Old Cambridge. The land in
question lies in what is now Newberry
County, on Beaverdam Creek. The seal
to the deed is curiosity; it is made of
wax is six inches in diameter and half
an inch thick, and is tied to the deed
with linen cord. On one side of the
seal is palmetto tree, and on the other is
an individual, somewhat blurred and dis
figured, which has the appearance of
the Goddess of Liberty with an olive
branch in her hand. The deed was
found among Major Fed Boozer's papers,
and is now in possession of Sheriff
Wheeler. -Ncwbcry Herald.

Tho issup of tbo ten ,lollar roycrr

- The issue of the ten dollar govern
ment bonds can hardly fail to be beneti-
cial in more ways than one. The great
est benefit will be to the working classes,
who will thus have an opportunity to in
vest small earnings with sense of per-
feet security-an opportunity they have
never had before. They have had their
faith in savings banks seriously impaired,
both by bad management and palpable
dishonesty on the part of directors and
officers, and now that they have another
and altogether safer way of placing their
money, they will be alienated more and
more from such institutions. The people
will soon see, if they see not now, that 4
per cent, with certainty, is preferable to
6 per cent, with uncertainty. Within
the last five years boarding has grown to
be unusually common in this country,
especially among foreign mechanics and
laborers, and the slender amounts thus
boarded will in due time be very apt to
go into the new bonds. A good many
persons of intelligence not in business,
such as women and minors, have few
dollars, from $40 to $50, which they do
not think it worth while to put in bank.
They will naturally turn to the bonds,
and having got some, will try to get
more. The bonds, too, will have the
direct effect to stimulate economy among
the very classes who need it most. The
industrious poor have repeatedly been
driven from habits of saving by losses
sustained through savings banks, which
they had been assured were iniallible.
Such shattered confidence with its many
deplorable results will be healed by pur-
chase of the ten-dollar bonds, which
must row in favor and advantage with
advancing time. Popular honor and
loyalty will likewise be quickened the
demagogue's cry against bloated bond
holders will lose its rapacity for harm /;
the people will be educated by their own
experience to an understanding of their
own interest and the proper value Of
money. In word, the new government
certificates will profit the humblest of
our citizens morally, financially and po-
litically, and so profit the nation at large
more than can be easily foreseen.-New

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO G. E. SIMS
We regret to learn that Mr.. G. E. Sims,
of Santuc, met with serious accident
last Monday, at his gin house. It'ap-
pears that he was descending from the
cotton press when one of the steps gave
way and precipitated him to the ground.
He was taken up in an unconscious state,
and upon examination it was found that
he had received great outward and in
ward bodily injuries, from which it is
feared he will not recover Union Times.

The Cincinnati Gazette says: "Major
Buford's friends, if they ever entertained
fears that his cowardly crime would be
punished be death, will be reassured by
the news that comes from Richmond, Ky.
The trials of four murderers at that place
have just been concluded. Their crimes
were in almost every case Of peculiar
atrocity. What is the result? Two ac-
quittals, one hung jury, and one convic-
ton, without the death penalty attached.
The hanging of white murderers in Ken
lucky, of the dominant persuasion of pol
itics, is played out" Unfortunately
murderers do escape too easily all over
the country, but Kentucky has not a
monopoly of this evil. If the Gazette
tells the truth, her neighbor Ohio is
equally cursed with the escape of MUIR
derers from the deserts of their crimes.
The assertion ofthe Gazette that politics
influences these decisions IS entirely un-
sustaiuable, and our contemporary is
manifesting its usual disregard for facts
in making such sweeping assertions.
From the reported cases, it appears that
fewer persons are hung for crime in
Ohio than in Kentucky, and yet it would
be unjust to accuse the Buckeye State OF
any moral arrangement in its courts OF
justice. The only difference between
Kentucky and Ohio is, that criminals
are occasionally punished in the former
State; but in Ohio, as soon as man is
shown to be a frst-class criminal, some
lucrative federal position is Immediately
rendered him.

Mr.. Hayes evidently will never forget
the services rendered him in 1876 by the
mel who stole the Presidency for him.
All of those who were prominent in the
business have been given good fat offices
so far as his opportunity has afforded.
Packard, Wells, Anderson, and others of
these cormorants, are enjoying their re-
wards, and still Mr.. Hayes is not satisfied.
His latest act of gratitude is manifested
in the appointment of d. L. Corbin to

that he offered this notorious individual

The Legislature of New Hampshire
failed to elect q United States Senator
from that State to begin the term March
the 4th of the present year, under the
expectation of electing before the fall
session of Congress. The extra session
has therefore found this State minus one
Senator, which deficiency the Governor
has endeavored to remedy by appointing
Hon. Charles H. Bell, but the Senate is
now considering the question of admit
ting him, in view of the fact that the
Governor is only authorized to fill vacan-
cies which happen in the recess of the
Legislature, and where there has never
been an incumbent there can be no hap
pening of a vacancy, for it must have
been foreseen. The committee of the
Senate has reported against his admis-
sion, but the Republicans are fighting
hard to secure it. The report of the
committee is sustained by precedents go
ing back to 1925, and beginning with a
case from Connecticut, where the Gov
ernor appointed Mr.. Lauman to succeed
himself, and fill vacancy occasioned by
a failure to elect by the Legislature, in
which case the Senate fixed the prece-
dent by refusing to seat Mr.. Lauman, the
vote standing 10 for and % against seat
ing. Mr.. Bell will no doubt fare the
same fate, and Legislatures will probably
be more particular hereafter to elect SEN
ators at least short time before the term
of the Congress of which they are to be
members begins.
