MAHONE's PERFIDY.

The act of Senator William Mahone,
of Virginia, in assisting the Republicans
to organize the Senate over the Demo
Gratis is one of duplicity and tfeachery
which probably will, and ought to, con-
sign him at the end of his term to OBJ
scurity, and hand his name down the
history Of his country as synonym for
that which is despicable and mean. Ma
hone is not to be visited with censure for
being q Republican, because this is free
country, and men have the right to their
opinions. He is not be traduced for for
saking the Democratic party and joining
the Republicans, for that is privilege
which men have, and, if they exercise it
properly and honestly, no. man should
condemn them beyond fair and courte-
Gus criticism Of their judgment But
when a man secures Office by pretending
to hold principles which he despises, that
man is guilty OF hypocricy Of the mean-
est aud most degraded nature, and that
is where the trouble comes in with Ma
hone. He has always protested that he
was pure Democrat, claiming, however,
to split on local issues in the State from
one wing Of the Democratic party. He
ran a Hancock electoral ticket, and
pledged it to the National Democratic
party. It was these professions which
enabled him to be elected to the Senate,
and he has shown a total disregard for
his word and lack of honor in falsifying
the professions he made before his elec-
ton. If he has honestly changed his

The Senate committee on Finance is
composed of five members who advocate
the limited coinage of silver and six who
favor its unlimited coinage, so that for
the next two years it is very safe to as
sumo that the silver dollar will continue
plentiful and remain uninterfered with,
unless the Paris Commission agrees upon
its regulation, in which event its value
will in all probability be increased by
the adoption of the French standard of
fifteen and half ounces of silver to one
of gold instead of our rate of sixteen to
one. The Republicans are, when put
TO the test. no more rigid in
their financial views than the Democrats.

ENT1C1NG AWAY LABoRERs.
We have been asked 80 many questio

We have been asked 80 many questions
about the recent legislation upon the
subject Of contracts, and there seems to
be SO much misapprehension on the sub
ject, that we again publish the late Act,
which is as follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the State of South
Carolina, now met and sitting in General
Assembly, and by the authority Of the
same, That any person or persons who
shall entice or persuade, by any means
whatsoever, any tenant or tenants, labor
er or laborers, under contract with an
other, duly entered into between the par
ties in the presence of one or more wit
Snesses, whether such contracts be verbal
or in writing, to violate such contract, or
shall employ any laborer or laborers.
knowing him.. her or them to be under
contract with another, shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, and upon con-
viction thereof shall be fined not less
than twenty-five nor more than one hum
dred dollars, or be imprisoned in the
county Jail not less than ten nor more
than thirty days. :,
It win therefore be seen that the new
law imposes no penalties upon the laborer
Fof any kind. It simply gives the con-
tractor the right to indict and punish BY
fine or imprisonment the person who en-
tees OF persuades away the laborer, or
hires him. knowing him to be under con-
tract. This is in addition to the common
law right of suit for damages. It will
also be noticed that the remedy is given
! not only where the contract is in writing,
but also where it is verbal and entered
into in the presence Of one or more wit
Eesses. In order to prosecute nderthe
Act, it is, therefore, necessary to have
one or more witnesses in addition to the
parties making the contract. Thelaborer.
!: is made liable to punishment for the vio-
lation of written, contracts by the Genera!
Statutes, though some Judges have pro-.
nounced that part Of the law unconsti-:
8tutional. The new Act is constitutional,
and, if properly enforced, will remedy
the evil. The third persons enticing
away laborers or hiring them when they,
know them to be violating a contract
with another are TO blame for the greater
! portion Of the arrangement Of labor, and
as soon as a stop is put to that practice
the greater portion of the evils from un-
settled labor will pass away.

1t is said that there are quite a
number of old mountaineers living in
the mountains of Greenville and adjoin.
ing counties who turn out once every four
years, when they can hear of an election
to take place, and vote for Andrew Jack.
son for President. A man who would
undertake to make them believe that
"Old Hickory" is really dead might be
regarded as a political emissary, repre-.
senting some newly organized movement
TO GUST Jackson, and as one working in
the interest of some other candidate. To
make the average reader believe that this
statement is true might be as difficult as
to convince the old mountain patriots of

Notwithstanding this, the serious charge
is made against them that they are SO
unprogressive as to continue to vote for

MTERNAT1oNAL CONFERENCES.

The coming Silver Conference, which.
is to meet in Paris on the 18th of April,
promises to yield results of very great
importance to the. commerce of the
world, by; the restoration of silver to a
thoroughly reliable and generally &C
knowledged value for the interchange of
commodities. The conference meets on
the invitation of France and the United
States for the purposeof fixing uniform
ratio of value between gold and silver
coin, which does not at present exist.
In France, Italy, and some smaller gov
ernments, one ounce of gold is worth
fifteen and one-half ounces of silver,
while IN the United States the govern
ment recognizes one ounce of gold as
worth sixteen ounces of silver, and in
the market it is worth about eighteen
ounces. In Great Britain, Canada, Ger
many, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and
I Portugal, gold is the only recognized
standard Of value. In Russia, Austria,
Egypt, Mexico, Central America, Ecua-
dor, Peru and China, silver alone is re-
cognized as.the standard. The countries
having the double standard are the Uni
ted States, Greece, Roumania, Colombia,
Venezuela, Chill, Uruguay, Paraguay,
Japan, Holland, France, Belgium, Italy,
Switzerland aud Spain. Thus it will be
seen that great diversity exists upon this
subject, and an establishment of uni
I sformity would be ofiyery great conven-'
ience and benefit to allfcoantries whose
business men have dealings with the
business men Of other countries.
81 The United States will be ably repre-
1sented in the conference by Messrs.
Eyarts, Thurman and Howe, who were
appointed BY President Hayes for their
peculiar fitness for the position. Should
standard be agreed upon, it is likely to
be between the ratio of 1!s to or 16 to
/; and the adoption Of either will re-
suit in very great advantage to our eoun-
try, for it will increase the value of silver
atleast one-ninth in market, without, in
any way, limiting the supply. As this
country produces large quantities of the
white metal, anything which increases
Its price abroad will bring additional
wealth and prosperity to our country.
The coming conference and its results
will therefore be watched with great
ssolicitude by the friends of silver money
and those interested in silver mines
throughout the country.

There are many indications that the
glory of San Francisco is departing.
Wild speculation is at an end, and the
restless spirits are going to New York to
operate. The bonanzas have ceased to
yield their millions, and the blind
votaries Oh the outside are now too I'M
pecunious to respond to the call for
assessments. Seats at the San Francisco
Stock Exchange have shrunk from
$35, 900 to $1,000 with no buyers; and
the rival mining exchange, the Pacific,
where seats sold for 1000 in 1876, is
closed. The people have given up stock
gambling, and understand that their
own and San Francisco's future must
be built up by legitimate business enter
nrise.

The citizens of Columbia have bought
out the interest Of Thompson & Neagle
in the Columbia Canal, and also their
contract with the State, and propose de.
veloping the water power around Colum-
bia as n State enterprise. We are glad
to see a new impulse given to the Co.

a complete success at an early day. The
development of our capital will be a
great blessing to the whole State, and
will in few years return to the State q

displayed by the people Of Columbia in
this matter, and expect to see them at an
easly day enjoying the blessings of sue

The Democrats have undoubtedly lost
much in the estimation and respect
of the people. of the United States, by
trading and combining with Greenback-
ers in popular elections. It now remains
to. be seen what the country will think
of party which trades and combines
with repudiators in the United States
Senate. The Republicans have recently
shown willingness to retain power by
combination. with renegade Demo-
crat and an avowed repudiator. Four
years ago they retained power by fraud,
corruption and perjury. The party that
has done these things will not hesitate
to commit any other possible crime
in order to perpetuate itself. 1t may be,
however, that justice, though tardy, will
yet overtake and destroy the eyil-dosrs.

Senator Salisbury, of Delaware, ques'
toned the right of the Vice President to
vote in cases of tie when the resolution
for recognizing the Senate came up, but
Senator Logan met him with the prece-
dent of John G. Calhoun having voted
when Vice President for a chaplain of
the Senate when the vote was tie.
Nothing further was said upon the sub.
ject, aud the Vice President continued
to give the casting vote when the body
was evenly divided.

The new Car is entertained with an
account of a mine projected by the Nihi-
lists to blow up his residence. 1t is be.
ginning early, and is unfair. They
should at least give him a chance. His
three predecessors occupied the throne Of
Russia during the whole of the present
century, or for an average of twenty
seven years. The present Gar ought to
be allowed a few years, and the fear of
nitro. .glycerine should not be pcked at
him so soon.

The Augusta Chronacte dn' Co'astuu-
tionalist has footed up the vetoes of Pres
ident Hayes to the number Of ten, as
follows. He vetoed the silver bill Feb
ruary %, 1878; the bill for holding a
special term Of the United States Court
in Mississippi, to try timber cases, March
6, 1878; the bill to restrict Chinese i'm
migration, March /, 1879; the army
appropriation bill, with the measure
prohibiting the use Of troops at the polls
attached, April 20, 1s7s;..the military
interference bill, May II, 1879; the ju-
dicial expenses bill, because of restric-
tions touching the employment of mar
shals at elections; the special marshaPs
appropriation bill, June 80, 1879; the
special deficiency appropriation bill,
which was destined to have the deputy
marshals appointed by the United States
Circuit Court from all political parties,
May 4, 1880; bill regulating the ap.
pointment of special deputy marshals at
elections, June Is, 1880; and, lastly, the
reiunding bill. Of these only the silver
bill passed over the Presidential Veto"
It may also be added that these vetoes
outnumber all of the vetoes sent in by
Presidents from the beginning of Wash
ington's term to the end of Grants. Our
Presidents formerly had sufficient abili-
ty to- save them from presumption, but
Mr.. Hayes found it necessary to make
his record in history as an obstructionist.
He could acquire no higher reputation.

Malone did it, and for his treason to
party the Republicans will doubtless pay
him handsomely. They have already
made him Chairman of the Committee
on Agriculture, and will doubtless give
him extensive Federal patronage in Vir-
ginia, in order to build up his interests in
that State.

DEAR CoLoNEL-At the recent term
of the Court at Darlington, where l was
tried under an Indictment for murder,
some of the witnesses on the part of the
State testified that on the day of tile con-
fict between Col. Shannon and myself
several persons proposed an adjustment
of the difficulty between US without re-
sort to arms, and your name was given as
one who had attempted to effect an ami
cable settlement. As you were one of
Col. Shannon's counsellors on the field,
if any such proposition was made you
surely would have been cognizant of the
fact. Please, Colonel, do me the justice
to say if you, or any one else to your
knowledge) made any effort to bring
about reconciliation, and name the per-
son to whom such proposition was made.
As you were in close proximity to me
soon after drove upon the ground, and
until I left the field, l ask you to say,
over your own signature, if you saw any
act or heard any expression of mine that
was unbecoming gentleman.

matter, and know full we'll your reluc-
tauce to speak, and it is or necessity
