JAIL BIRDS EscApINa.--On Saturday
night, between the hours of 10 and i2
O'Clock, five prisoners confined in the
jail at Varnvilla succeeded In making an
escape. There Is no doubt of the fact that
the prisoners had assistance from tho
outside, as the locks upon the door wore
not broken, but unlocked, and, after
their liberation, Relocked. One of tho
escaped prisoners, who was quite resrac-

Tho Hon. A. Fl. Stephens, of G oorgia,
Is fond Of being interviewed by news
paper reporters, and tho independent
movement In Georgia made by him and
fow others keeps him all the timo en-
gagged In defining and explaining the po-
sition which he occupies in the Domo-
cratic party. He claims to bo strict
Democrat. of tho Jeffersonian School,
end &c. perfectly a~~aro that independents
ism, which he advocates, Is in direct an
tagonism to- all party organization and
success, 10 hard pressed to reconcile his
position with the heretofore conceded
rule for the government of oil parties,
that tho expressed wishes of the majority
of the party as expressed in convention
or ut primary election shall govern the
party. Mr.. Stephens we'll knows that
this Is Democratic doctrine and the only
way Of putting down all rings and
cliques, and therefore, while he does not
directly attack this mode of selecting can
didatos, ho changes tho issue by declaring
that tho object of the Independents is to
prevent "ring rule" He Is the last man
to complain OF "rlng rule" us he holds
his seat in the present Congress by
threatening tho convention that he would
be candidate with or without it's nomi-
nation, which was equivalent to doclar-
ing that he and "his ring" If the MAORI
ty of tho Democrats of his Congressional
District should prefer another candidate
would unite With Tie Republicans and
defeat tho nominee representing the ma
jority of his party. This is not only
ring rule" in its most obnoxious and
tyrannical form, but 1t is rule or ruin the
party utterly regardless Of oil principle.
Mr.. Stephens would not find 1t necessary
to bo 30 often explaining his position on
this snbiect, Fit were capable of any rea-
sonable explanation. 1t is opposed to
every principle OF Democratic rule and
government, and is fraught with mis-
chief, and mischief only, to the best in.
terests of the party and the whole coun-
try. If carried out It will place tho con-
troll of the Southern States again in the
hands Of the ignorant Radicals, whose
rule will be an high carnival of extraya-
gance, ignorance and ruin OF all tho ma
terial interests OF the laboring thousands.
The Republicans cannot regain control
OF tho Southern States unlesa 1t be
through tho fundamentally of indepen-
dents, who, because they cannot rule
their own party, form an alliance with
ths!- ii>i!..:cs:; enemies 70 iefuat that par
ty. The worst enemy tho Democratic
party has Is the independent Democrat.
He Is ambitious, selfish, and aubordi-
mates principles to mis- own political ad-
vancements. This is the "ring rulon
which, at the present time, is most to bo
dreaded, and menaces tho success Of the
Democratic party. Independentism
means the defeat OF ths Democrats and
tho re-establiHhment of negro govern
ments in the South. Every independent
does moro to secure this ond than any
Radical can, and the most dangerous ene-
mics that good government has is inde-
pendents. o

Hon. Alfred w. Lay, mcmberIof Con-
gross from Missouri, died quito suddenly
from paralysis in Washington City on
last Monday morning, and consequently
but little business was done in either
House OF Congress. III the House imme-
diately after tho reading OF tho Journal
Mr. Clark announced tho death of his
colleague, offered resolutions of respect
to bis memory, and after the appoint
ment ofa committee to supcrjntend tho
funeral ceremonies, tho House adjourned.
In the Senate Mfr. Voorhees,, of Indiana,
offered resolutions expressing the deep
regret OF the Senate at tho recommends
tions or the President nnd Secretary Of
tho Treasury III their message TO inau-
gurate new and uncallod for financial
policy, which were laid upon the table
to bo called up by Mr.. Voorhees,. At ali
early hour the Senate adjourned as a
mark OF respect TO tho momory OF Mr..
Lay. GreenbaclSs and treasury notes arc
now ut par with gold aud silver, the
country Is fast recovering from the great
financial depression Of several years, and
it would bo we'll for Congress to stop
tinkoring with tho currency of tho coun-
try, and not inaugurato another financial
crisis by destroying the relative valuo
ofpapcr and coin. The aim for years has
boon u bring tho value OF paper cur
rency UP tn that of gold and silver; this
Is now accomplished, and Congress
should not by any legislative action,
destroy this equalization OF value by re-
ducing tho value Of papor currency below
that Of coin. Such legislation would be
unwisa and oppressive to t'io poor
man.

The past week has been one of the most

in Columbia nince tho days of '76. AS
Iye wrote last week the vacancy on the
Supreme Court was attracting considera-
ble attention, and, in addition to tho In

wee also very great activity on the part
or tho friends of the various candidates
For the vacancy. This was, however,

AN UELooKED FOR EVENT
In The election Of Judge a. G. Haskell,
one Of the Judges Of tho Supreme Court,
TO the Presidency Of the Charlotte, Co.
I 'lumbia and Augusta Railroad Company,
with o salary of s5 900 year, and his ac-
ceptance of tho same and CONSEQUENT
resignation of the Judgeahip. We have
been told that the event was entirely un-
looked for by the Judge himself until
4 the day before tho election, and that no
outsiders knew of 1t until the election
began. The Pennsylvania Central OWNS
the controlling stock in this Company,
and, therefore, dictates the ore~ .;zation
and election OF officers for 1t. For some
reason they desired the services of Judge
Haskell, and have procured them. Tho
selection is 40 doubt good one, for the
Judge is known to possess adminiatra-
tive ability of the highest ordor. Col.
John b. Palmer, tho former popular and
successful President, has resigned, and Is
to go TO Europe in fow days on somo
mission for tho Company. AS soon as
tbs vacancy was ascortained, the friends
OF

Immediately announced him as candi-

pective raco Tor Judge Mclver's place, in

DR.. AlODzo GarcclOn IL the present Gov
enor of Maine by virtue of having been third
on the list Of candidates voted for at the
election in 1878, and having been selected
by a Republican State Senate as a choice Of
evils between himself and Mr.. Smith, the
Greenback candidate. One cannot help W.
dering what sort of man Smith must ,
that Garcelon should have been preferred to
him. Doubtless Garcelop has developed his
capacity since the choice was made. Holding
an Office for which only a ptiful minority Of
the voters of Maine supported him, it
is not strange perhaps that he should
bold maiOrities in something like con-
tempt. Being Governor in spite of them,
why, be reasons, should he not continue
so Or if not he, some other representative of
q beaten minority! And if the people of
Maine have submitted for year to the rule
of a minority Governor, why should they not
submit to the counting in of a minority Legis-
lature, the election of minority State officers
and n minority United States Senatori So
GarcelOn and his cO-conspIrators have counted
ont the Republican majority in the Legislature
and made their arrangements to steal the
State. All within the forms of law, of course.
and upon technicalities which, with roll
ing eyes and hands upon their hearts,
they solemnly VOW they cannot con-
soentiouIy disregard. That a Republican
Legislature was elected they do not deny. but
there are is not dotted and fs not crossed in
the returns. which they say makes them by the
Constitution fatally defective" "We could
not trample on the Constitution, you know"
say they with a leer. And when their atten-
ton is called to statute law which meets the
case and empowers them to amend the techni-
cal defects, they answer at once, "Oh, that law
lis unconstitutional"
1t is an old habit Of these people to use
the letter OF the Constitution to stab the
State They tried it on large scale in 1861,
when they clamored that the Federal Consti-
tuition not only did not contain the principle
of self-preservation, but that il actually Of
fered a shield and defence to its assailants.
But even under this claim of a constitutional
right To defeat the will of the majority. it is
not believed that they can sustain themselves.
The whole business has been characterized
plot on the part of the Governor and
Council to steal the State they all point
so clearly to a premedtated purpose and
prepared plan; and the condolences are so
striking and significant, that even upon their
technical defence they feel that the weight of
public opinion is overwhelmingly against
them. They have been especially called upon
to explain the remarkable fact that the returns
have been found fatally defective only in
such cases as would result in the defeat of
Republican candidates. The latest effort
IN this direction is in letter from Governor
Garcelon, published yesterday, in which he
says: Every year there have been defective
returns rejected-that is. not counted-for
"non compliance with constitutional or legal
provisions" He neglects to state the fact
