The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1879-04-10

President Hayes, who formerly en-
gagged in the occupation of civil service
reform but has of late gone out of the
business, at this time is endeavoring to
strengthen his vertebre sufficiently to
comply with the demands of the stall
warts, who propose conflict between
the Executive and the Democratic ma
jority in Congress. In this line he has
not yet had sufficient time to show what
he will do, but from all appearances he
intends to block the wheels of govern
ment in order to force the Democrats to
leave the election machinery in such
condition that the Republicans can use
fraud, intimidation, force and bayonets
to retain the administration of the gov
ernment. If this policy is adopted his
fraudulency will no doubt find the party
of constitutional liberty too strong for
him, and his resistance will only tend to
show the liberty-loving portion of our
people the danger of allowing tricksters
and usarpers to obtain possession of the
government. Mr.. Hayes may profit by
reviewing the conflict between Johnson
and Congress, by which he must see that
he is sure to be defeated before the con-
test ends.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1879-04-10

In the debate on the army appropria-
tion bill, Mr.. Williams, of Wisconsin,
divulged the true theory of the Republi-
can party in reference to government
when he said call government was
founded on the bayonet as its ultimate
authority" The theory of the fathers of
this Republic held that it was founded
ultimately upon the consent of the gov
erned, and that the bayonet was only a
means of defense against interference
from without or insurrection within. 1t
was never intended to have government
whose laws were to be enforced by the
bayonet or over the execution of whose
laws the bayonet was to act as supervisor.
The Radicals, however, are tending to q
monarchy, and hence wish to familiarize
the people with the sight of this emblem
OF despotism when used in enforcing the
civil process of the government. Such a
government would have been resisted to
the death by our revolutionary sires, and
it will be ignominiously repudiated by
their sons even in this age Of degenerate
liberty. Our people are not ready for a
Russia nor Germany in America, and
the Republicans have made fearful
blunder in confessing their idea of the
foundation of our system. 1t will
frighten even the liberty loving portion
of their own party.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1879-04-10

the position of District Attorney for
South Carolina, which Was declined, as
Corbin thought he could cheat General
Butler out of his seat in the Senate.
Now that Corbin's Senatorial honors
have been disposed of, Mr.. Hayes comes
to his assistance, and offers to promote
him to position which is the uttermost
proclamation Of justice. 1t is an outrage
upon he..American people, and would,
if consummated, be disgrace to our
judiciary, which already has some bad
men upon it, but none so bad as Corbin.
Fortunately, however, the Senate must
be consulted about this appointment, and
will no doubt refuse to confirm Mr.. Cor
bin. The Democratic majority ought to
give Mr.. Hayes battle over every such
appointment. If the purity of members
of Congress was to-day equal to that
which marked our government in its
earlier existence, and if patriotism, in
stead of partisanship, controlled the
councils Of the nation, this appointment,
and those of similar nature which have
been made by the President, would en-
sure his impeachment. Henry Clay,
one of our most popular and patriotic
statesmen, was so severely condemned
for accepting Office under President
Adams, after voting for him in the
House of Representatives, that he could
never be elected President, and Mr..
Adams, for his part in the matter, was
ANONYMOUSLY beaten after his first term.
To-day VIC see man who was not elected
occupying the Presidential chair, with
his lawyer, Mr.. Evarts. who no doubt
served before the electoral commission
without fee, appointed to the office of
Secretary of State, and all who figured
as leaders in the conspiracy to make him
President enjoying fat offices at his
hands. For the appointment of Pack
ard, McLin, Wells, Anderson, Corbin,
and men of that stripe, the President
should be held to an account; and al
though the Republicans in Congress are
too intensely partisan to impeach him,
he may rest assured that he and his party
will be held to rigid accountability be-
fore the electors of the Union, and will,
we have no doubt, be most mercilessly
and overwhelmingly condemned.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1879-04-10

The Democratic Congress would do
we'll to abolish the lavish allowances
paid to defeated contestants in Congress
sional elections, for it amounts simply to
a premium to men who were not elected
to contest the seat of the member who
was elected, as a means of making a
living. 1t is wonder that every defeat
ed radical in the South does not contest
the election, simply to get the money al
lowed to those who press their claims.
The forty-sixth or present Congress will
have about thirteen contests to settle, as
the seats of Yocum of Pennsylvania,
Hancock of New York, Loving of Mas
sachusetts, Orth Of Indiana, Forsythe of
Illinois, Acklen of Louisiana, Henkel of
Maryland, Martin of North Carolina and
O'Connor of South Carolina, with posi-
BILE contests from Florida, Virginia and
Wisconsin. By cutting down the allow
ance to unsuccessful contestants the
House of Representatives will per-
form considerate act of economy, and
will in future stop contests which have
no merit in them.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1879-04-10

Hon. Montgomery Blair says that
Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks favors Demo-
cratic ticket for 1880 to read just as that
of 1876 did. If this be correct, it must
be admitted that q great many persons
are in favor of the same proposition, as
Gov. Tilden is evidently gaining strength
before the country. We prefer Mr.. Bay
ard because he is a younger man, of
broader views of our system of govern
ment, and with record which by its
spotless purity would be a tower of
of strength to the party, as we'll as q
gratifying assurance to the country that
the Democracy intends to put forward for
public Office its best and purest men. If,
however, Mr.. Tilden should reveive the
nomination, there is no doubt that, hav-
ing been cheated before, he would start
with sympathy and admission on the
part of the masses that he has been
wronged which might ripen into very
great enthusiasm. The Democratic par
ty, if prudent, can elect either Bayard,
Tilden, Thurman, Hancock or Hen
bricks in 1880, and the triumph of either
of these statesmen would be gratifying to
the masses of the citizens of our country.

Murder of Mr. Mccoy Mt Palmer's
Bridge.
MCCLELLANvILLE, April 3.

MCCLELLANvILLE, April 2.
This usually quiet and law-abiding
parish was horrited and shocked this
morning by most atrocious murder.
Mr.. G. g. Mccoy was repairing the Pal
mer bridges on Tuesday, had number
of hands employed, dismissed that even
ing about sundown, and started with
them to the house of friend where he
was staying, but just then neighbor
drove up in his buggy. He turned, rode
back short distance with him, and on
his return across the bridge the fatal shot
was fired. Our Trial Justice, Mr.. ]. II.
Leland, being summoned, repaired to the
spot on Wednesday and found Mr..
Mccoy just as he had fallen from his
horse the evening before. lie was rid
died with buckshot from his neck to his
abdomen, two shot taking effect in the
heart. The shot was fired just at Il bend
of the road where the murderer could
command both approaches.
Mr.. Leland empanelled a jury, and
they rendered a verdict in accordance
with the above mentioned facts. The
assassin left no clue at all that may lead
to his capture. Only his tracks behind
the pine and bush broken TO give his
elbow room mark the spot where the
black deed was committed. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY done for robbery, as Mr.. Mccoy
generally carried some money with him,
and there was not Il cent found on his
person; even his pocket knife and chew
ing tobacco were taken.
The murderer is evidently an old hand
at the business, as he only had about ten
minutes between the departure of the
hands and Mr.. McCoy's leaving to run
up to the pine from the adjoining swamp.
Mr.. Mccoy was quite wealthy man !;
the number of his cattle running up into
the thousands, and he is represented rs
paying taxes on sixty thousand acres of
land. He was from the adjoining parish,
St. Stephens.
What is wanted now is good detec-
tive to work up this matter. hear that
his sons are going to offer large reward
for the capture of the murderer, and Il
good many of the citizens will also con-
tributc.-C5rrespondcacc Ncrs and Cou-
ricr.

Hon. Samuel j. Randall, Speaker of
the House of Representatives, puts the
Democratic position in its true light be-
fore the country in what he said on re-
cent occasion in Washington. His
words, though brief, state the case clear
ly, and will be fully appreciated by the
masses of American voters, who will
sustain the party which has the nerve
and the sagacity to battle for the great
rights therein claimed. Mr.. Randall
said:
We ask but little, but the principle in
volved is great. We ask that all through
the country the right of suffrage shall be
exercised by freemen without interven-
tion of the army. We ask that intelli-
gence and not ignorance shall in future
prevail in the jury box, and that all test
oaths and other obnoxious distinctions
shall be forever wiped out. We ask that
the control now exercised by The Federal
Government, under law which permits
the appointment of partisan supervisors
of election, shall and must cease, for they
are only employed for the purpose of de-

Illinois is discussing a proposition to
amend her Constitution so as to provide
for biennial sessions of the Legislature
for enacting tax and supply bills, with
sessions once in six years for law making.
Such a change would be very advan-
tageous in all the States, for it would put
n stop to the continual tinkering with
laws, which is probably the greatest
nuisance that can beset people. Col.
Mattison, of this County, now has q joint
resolution pending to provide for BIZ
ennial sessions of the Legislature in this
State, and we are satisfied that its adop-
ton would give the people greater relief
than any other one thing which could be
done. Indeed, We think modification
so as to have sessions for making laws
but once in four years would even be an
improvement on the biennial plan. If
Illinois adopts the measure We can see its
workings there, and, if desirable, fall
into line. We ought to begin on the
once in two years plan any way.

Senator Pendleton has offered bill
allowing members of the Cabinet seat
in Congress in order that they may an
swer questions in regard to the execution
of the laws of the government, as is the
custom in the English Parliament with
the Ministers of the Crown. Mr.. Pen
daeton offered this billsin the House of
Representatives seventeen years ago. 1t
was respectfully inferred then, but it
seems to have risen from its grave again,
and should now be buried deep enough
to keep it quiet in the future. We want
no privileged class in America. The
people elect the men they wish to repre-
sent them in Congress, and no Others
should be granted seats. The established
usage of calling for information or ap-
pointing committees is ample means OF
investigating any department, and such
a departure as that proposed would be
unfavorable in its effects. We had better
let things stand as they are in this re-
spect.

The State of Tennessee has for several

The State of Tennessee has for several
years past had law requiring persons
who wished to sell guns, pistols, or other
firearms, to obtain license to engage in
the business, but the statute has not
accomplished its purpose entirely; and
hence the Legislature of that State has
just made it misdemeanor to carry into
the State, either TO sell, barter or give
away, any belt or pocket pistol, except
army or navy pistols. 1t would be a
great blessing if every State in the
Union had such law as this rigidly
enforced, for in many instances pistols
are sold in stores everywhere to disor-
derly, drunken rowdies, and the result is
that every boy large enough to run
about has his pistol at hand, ready to
use at any time his passions may be
aroused. This law would not of itself
be enough to suppress the pistol busi-
ness, but would check the evil, and pub
lie opinion could do the balance.
