The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1881-01-08


SENATOR BUTLER has had . resolu
ton adopted in tho Senate calling 0,
Secretary Schurz for his report on tn
alleged census frauds in South Carroll
ma. He is determined that stslwar
lies shall be exposed.
1r looks now as if both Conklins
and Cameron will control their re.
spective Legislatures, and sccmro the
election Of their own hcnchmen as
United Stntcs Senators from tho two
largest States in the American Union
Bring in another horse!
THE Pennsylvania Senate witnessed
a unique and refreshing spectacle tho
other day. Scnator-clcct Cox, Demo
crat from Luzerne county, refused tc
take the constitutional oath that he
had not used money to secure his clcc
ton, and forfeited his seat. He USED
his money i'll a strictly "lcgitimste'
way, in cqaipping campaign clubs and
paying delinquent taxes, just as every
other candidate most probably did
but this he considered as violating the
spirit of the constitution. 1t is u pity
thata man of such integrity and deli.
cato perceptions Of right should be
lost to his party. 1t is we'll to remark
here that all the Republicans swallow
ed the oath at gulp, though bribery
i'll many cases was notorious.

THE population of the United States
excluding Territories, is about 40 ,365,-
600, and in an estimate Of BOG mem.
bers, the full capacity Of the present
House, tho ratio will be fraction over
10000. The New England States
will lose three congressman and the
Central States five, while the West
will gain eight, tho Pacific States one
and tho South six. The gain by States
on the present number would be: In
Arkansas, l.; California, l; Georgia,
!; Iowa, /; Kansas, 8; Michigan, /
Minnesota, 2; Mississippi, 1; Nebras-
ka, 2; North Carolina. 1; South Caro-
lima, l; Texas, 4, and West Virginia, 1.
The States losing representation ~oultl
DO Florida, |; Maine, l; New Ha,np-
shire, 1; Vermont, New York, 2;
Pennsylvania, /. The representation
from the other States would remain as
now.
MIR. CHARLES NORDHoFF, the Her.
dds Washington correspondent, has
again suffered himsclfto to bc bcguilcCl
by the Radical executive committee of
this State in regard to the recent elcc-
tions, and he holds up his hands in
pious horror ut the miSdceds Of the
Democrats. Once before Mr.. Nord-
hof WAS betrayed in similar
manner and found himself eom-
PEELED rs an honest man to re-
tract his statements. A paragraph
from the Beaufort Crescent, Demo
cratic paper, insinuating fraud on the
part of Democrats in other counties, is
rolled around as precious morsel on
the tongues Of Mackey and Mr.. Nord-
ho1f. If Mr.. Nordhoff will kindly
wait until the Investigations are had
he will discover what part of Mackcy's
report is wheat and what is chatl. The
whole Radical Executive Committee
must have been wrestling with the
Jimjams when they pcnned their mar
velous manifesto. Mr.. Nordhotf is n
hnc old gentleman, and we have the
grcatestrcspect for his sound Judgment
and strict integrity, but he gets lost
sometimes.
"WILL Garfield ignore the claims of
the colorcd people to representation in
his CabinetT' is the question that is
seriously asked in some quarters. Uu-
doubtcdly he will. When have the
Radicals ever done anything for the
colorcd man after they have secured
his vote? The colorcd voters held the
balance Of power in Indiana, New
York, Connecticut and several other
States, and they elected Garfield on
his pledges that he would do some.
Thing for them. Yet the colorcd broth.
cr is severely left out in the cold in all
spcculations as to Gartield's cabinet
The Philadelphia Times distinctly
declares that Pennsylvania .Rcpubli
cans would hoot down any attempt tc
place colorcd man on their Legislative
ticket, while if Republican Mavo,
Stokcly should appoint colorcd po
1iccmnn in Republican Philadelphia
the policeman would be cracked o.
the head and Stokcly would never
again smell Office. 1t is enough tt
make ones blood boil to see the
hypocrisy and pharisaical cant Of these
Northern Radicals. Put colorcd mar
in Gsrhcld's cabinet? They would sec
The whole colorcd race to the devi
first.
