What might have been very criti-
cal day in the Senate passed over Mon
day with no great amount of friction.
Any burst of passion might have led to
renewal Of tie discreditable strife which
wasted so many weeks of the spring ses-
sion, and which gave so much offence to
the country. There was claim and coun-
ter claim during the day, parliamentary
tactics and strategy, insistance on one
81 de and complaint ON the other, but a
result was arrived at without rupture or
disorder. 1t was an unequal contest, as
the Democrats had the advantage of both
temporary majority and of express law.
There was ingenious argument that the
law was not intended to apply to condi-
iions such as those in which tho Senate
found itself; but plausible as 1t was, the
law as it stood had TO rule the case.
There were three newly chosen Senators
to be sworn in, and as to them the law
read: "The oath of Office shall be ad-
ministered by the President Of the Sen
ate to each Senator who shall hereafter
be elected before lie shall take his seat. y
There was but one way to enforce this
law, and that was for the duly qualified
Senators to choose President pro tenn,
who could then proceed to qualify the
new Senators. SO far, the Democratic
Senators having law on their side as
we'll as the weight of numbers, no one
can reas sonably complain of them for ad.
herring to the advantage of their position.
And especially is there but little reason
to complain, seeing that their choice fol
presiding officer is Senator Bayard- a
fair and able mana Senator that nc
brother Senator fears will do otherwise
than impartial--a President PRO TEN.
who is equal in all respects to the cap
able and faithful discharge of the dutiei
of the high Office of President of th,
United States if unhappily another ia
tality, such as the nation has experienced
should divolve the duties on him. Hav
ing chosen presiding officer and tn
Senate being thus ready to swear iu th'
newly elected Senators, the Democlati,
side of the chamber will weaken tn
strength of their present position, anC
put themselves in the wrong, if they at
tempt to choose a Secretary or procee,
TO any other business, before administer
ing the oath of office to their three col
leagues now asking for that qualification
What is right now can be made very in
denfeusible by slight error in the direc
: ton of attempting too much.

Judge Folgar, OF New York, hesitates
to accept the Office of Secretary of the
Treasury. He is not willing to give up
his place as Chief Judge of the Court Of
Appeals, which he will hold until he is
seventy years old, for the control of the
Treasury Department, which cannot be
expected 10 last more than three yeais
and half. Judge Folgar is one of the
most level-headed and successful of Re-
publican politicians-he is also very in
dependent, aud th,re isjust possibility
that he and President Arthur could not
agree for any length of time, even if he
should decide to accept the position.

Roscoe Conkling is again on deck
and pulling the wires. He finds an at
tentive listener in President Arthur, with
whom he was closeted for twelve hours on
Saturday 1t is the refinement of torture
to talk man to death; but then perhaps
the President is an admirer of Roscoe's
rare conversational gifts-some persons
are, but they are not so numerous as they
were few months ago.

their candidate for mayor by twenty
five majority, and carried two out of

about sixty votes ahead Of his ticket,

aldermen was about ninety. AS the

Politics present the same wave pho

undulations ovor tho whole surface,
any one spot being alternately in the

OF Republican exultation followed by
q trough Of Democratic depression
over tho land. Complications iii
Washington have caused another i'm
pulse, and this time Democrats. ride
the crest. II takes just about three
months for one wayo to catch the 9th
er. In the country and III scqucStcrcd
localities the November wave is still
exorting its influence, and assertions
arc heard that tho Democratic party is
dead and the South should cut off from
it, while to those posted up to the
latest time such talk is absurd. -Four
months from now tho tide may change
again, and Republican wave be sent
from Washington in its turn to chill
those who, in the baykwoods, will
then have just heard that the Demo

AS far as Fairfield is concerned we
hope our readers will not be behind

Most Of The corn cropin Williams
burg county has been planted.
"a correspondent at Abbcvillr
writes that cotton planting is nearly
over, and that the plant is rapidly
coming up.
The grape WINGS in GrrenvilIc
county were killed by the severe win
ter, and there will be no grapes for
one or two years to come.
Cotton planting is going on active
ly; the greater part Of the crop in
Chester county will be planted during
The present week.
The weather during the last week
in Spartanburg county WAS all that
could be desired by the farmers.
Vegetation is growing very RAPIDLY,
ana corn and cotton are coming up.
a year ago two-thirds of the cot
tom in Marlboro county was planted
by this time, while now there is not
more than ten acres in the whole coun-
ty planted and n large proportion of
tho land is not yet prepared for the
SEED.
The Grccnvillc Enterprise SAYS:
"lt is a lamcniablc truth that here in
this country where the grasses flourish
in perfection and where hav can be
raised with but little labor, hundreds
aud thousands of bales Of hay arc i'm
ported and sold to the farmers. There
can be no permanent or genuine pros
pcrily as long as nothing is raised but
cotton and everything else bought"
The Abbcvillc Press ana BoDnc,.
says: "For ten days our farmers have
been exceedingly busy planting their
cotton. Thousands Of acres were
planted last week, and our farmers
are still pushing forward The work
with every possible haste. The great
est activity is also seen in the prcparu-
tion of low lands for the corn crop.
The energy directed to this latter crop
leads us to hope that in the future we
will be less dependent on the Western
corn-raiScr."
Reports from different sections Of
Orangcburg county show that nearly
the entire early planting Of corn had
to bc plou@hcd out and planted anew.
which. however, will not diminish the
yield IL the season prove propitious.
Preparation for cotton is progressing
rapidly with an increased acreage to
DC put in. The small grain crops have
been materially injured by the severe
winter and our farmers will Go well
TO increase, even at this time. the
acreage of corn to make up the dfcicn-
cy. The fruit prospects arc gloomy:
peaches have been Killed in many
places and knowing ones seem TO think
that those not killed will drop Off
later III the season; apples may make

The Week in Washington.

Tho Senate has Mt last practically
abandoned the Gorham- m-Riddlcberger
contest and gone to work. This was n
substantial victory for the Democrats,
who, feeling that they had the right
on their side, persisted in upholding
II, until the pressure Of accumulated
business broke through the dam erect
ed by the Radical caucus and compcll-
ell the constitutional majority" to
back down. Next to the breaking Of the
deadlock, the chief sensation was the
withdrawal by Garfield Of all the New
York nominations except that of Ro-
bertson. When the batch was first
sent in it embraced followers OF Conk-
ling rs we'll as Robertson. The Re-
publican CAUCUS, in breaking up the
deadlock, agreed among themselves to
consider only such nominations as are
not opposed by at least one Republi-
can Senator from the Stute affected bv
the appointment. AS Conkling and
Platt both favor the confirmation of
the ConklinEitcs, Garfield saw that all
of these might gel in while Robertson
was left high and dry. To prevent
this, he withdrew all the other nomi-
nations so as to compel the considera-
ton Of Robcrtson's case first, as much
rs inlimating that 1t would determine
the tntc Of all the rest. This unex-
pocted stit!ening of the Presidential
backbone has pleased many. notably
the Dcmoci attic party, which, aa II
mass, dctests ConkIing, personally,
and IA the embodiment Of Grantism.
Conkling expresses confidence that he
will. win, while Blaine has tclcgraplled
to Robertson that success is certain.
All depends upon the action Of the
Democrats, and it is believed that q
majority Of them will align themselves
on the side OF the administration.
The star route controversy has un-
carthca the fact that during the last
campaign, after all the departments,
including the scrubbing women, had
been drained Of every cent they could
raise, tho Republican prospect WAS SO
gloomy that Garfield was constrained
| TO write to a committeeman asking
him TO see Brady and get him to 90
something, whcrcupon Brady bull
doZcd the star route contractors out of
twenty-five thousand dollars, and
"Saycd" Indiana. The Presidents OK
planation is that ho intended an indi-
ridual contribution from Brady, WHO
was rcputod to have made immense
sums from speculation IN Bell Tclc-
phone stock; hut this explanation is
somewhat thin. At any rate the truth
of the charge is proven that the star
route swindlcrs bought Indiana for
Garbcld-not Il plcaeant showing for
the party of moral ideas.
An exchange wiiily says that the
Senators arc leaving the Noah's ark at
Washington in pairs, and i, is believed
that in short time not enough viii be
! left to constitute a quorum.
! Altogether the Republicans are not
happy, and Garfield is experiencing a
rough time ut Tie very outset of a
career that promised to he a Rcpubl-
! can millennium. The Democrats are
in high feather, and they expect to be
! heard in the November State elections.
