LoSan'S Bill.

The long haired Republican Seua-
tor from Illinois is much incensed
with the Democrats because they de-
Glued to vote for his bill peusiouing
General Grant,, and continues to
shake bis shaggy locks at the Rebel
Brigadiers" in the most threatening
manner. At last advices this Shak-
ing had no effect upon the Senators
who think differently from the valiant
lllinoisian or noisian, uor is it likely
to have. The Democrats fail to see
any reason why Gen. Grant should be
placed on the retired list Of the army
at the expense of the public treasury.
He voluntarily resigned his COM
mission as General Of the Army, to
accept the position Of President Of the
United States. If, as is clAimcd for
him by the stalwarts, he was the
savior Of the Uniou, the Union has
shown him that it was not migrate
full by putting him at the head OF its
destinies for eight years. Washing
ton was the Father Of his Country. its

IF such thing had been mooted he
would have rejected it with indigna.
tiUn. But times have changed.
Grant is not Washington and Grant
would not feel iusulted if the peusiou
was bestowed, however large it might
be. Mr. Bayard, on whose Judgment
the country may well rely. struck the
key note when he ojected to the bill
on the ground that it was invidious to
select one cx President and overlook
all Others If Grant is to be pen
sioued; extend the same privilege to
all who have been Executives of the
Republic. But such a bill is wrong
ir any event. A salary Of fifty thou
sand dollars a year and the honor of
being the executive officer Of so great
a people, should be sufficient to salts
fly any mans ambition. To pension
ex-Presidents would create privileged
class, privileged merely because they
once held the highest Office in the
nations giit.-Augusta Chronicle.

with yas. The ,susie will be the
best that can be secured. A band of
one hundred and fifty musicians fron
the East has already been contracted
for. II view of the eexpeoscs attend
ing the preparation no complimentary
tickets will be issued, excepting to
President elect Garfield and family.
The work on the decoration of Penn-
svlvania avenue will be commenced at
once, ten thousand dollars having been
given for that purpose, The contracts
we're signed to day. The escort of the
President elect will consist of about
10000 militia and fourteen compa,
nies of regular troops and marines.
Previous to the ball a reception will
be held in the Museum building by
General and Mrs. Garfield, President
and Mrs Hays aud General and Mrs
Grant. Gen. Hancock has also been
invited to take part in the reception,
aud it is thought from assurances re
ceived by the committee that he will
accept. Gen. Sherman will be grand

The prominent candidates for ..
S. Marshal for this State are r. M.
Wallace, present incumbent, T. B.
Johnston, of Sumter, and a Mr..
Adams, of Camden. Wallace was
nominated by the President, but
the Senate refused to confirm the
nomination. Johnston is the can
didate of the stalwarts but Adams
has the inside track. He is an Ohio
man and is friend of Chief Justice
Waite. He came to this State after
the war, and has been engaged in
business in Kershsw County since.
He has never been in politics.
Since his residence in this State he
has always voted the National Re-
publican ticket, and the State Dem
ocratic ticket. He stands we'll in
his County and wherever known,
and his appointment would give
more satisfaction to the people of
the State than that of any of the
other candidates.

VS.. Aiken.

Columbia News and Courier,
4th inst.
Yesterday the attorneys of Gen.
Carlos J. Stolbrand aud the Hon. d.
Wyatt Aiken went before United
States Com missioner Eaton for the
purpose Of taking testimony as to the
contest from this district Before
proceeding with the testimony Col.
Eugene B. Gary, attorney for Col.
Aiken, filed au objection and cxcep-
tion on the following grounds. lst,
Because the plaintiffs notice that he
would take testimony was served on
the defendant at Washington on the
2S,h of January, 1881, and did not
allow the defendant sufficient time by
the usual route of travel to attend,
aud one day for preparation exclusive
Of Sunday and the day Of service.
ID. Because the person mentioned IN
the notice aforesaid for taking testi.
mony in this case was not competent
for that purpose and not authorized
by law to take testimony IN such cases.
Sd. Because the names Of the wit
nesses to be examined were not set
forth ard specified in said notice.
18th. Because the plaintiff took testi-
mony a, places wherehe did not al
lege 10 his notice Of contest that there
was fraud, violence or illegality OF
any kind in conducting the election.
9th. Because the testimony heretofore
taken 10 the case was not couGned to
the proof or disproof Of the facts al
legged or denied "a the notice IF cou
test and the answer thereto.
The testimony mill (possibly on
account Of these objeotious) stopped
grinding yesterday and was idle to.
day. United States Commissioner f..
NJ. Stoeber, who has been acting as
general manager to the concern, is a
nephew of Stolbrand, which isu't as
it should be. 1t is said that $500
afidavits have been obtained in this
county SO far to the effect that the
affiauts voted for Stolbraud. The
Stolbrand party proposed to Col. Gary
to extend the time for testimony,
which he refused They also asked
him to designate some one before
whom testimony for their side should
be taken, but he will hold aloof and
take advantage Of such blunders as
they may make.
