The South Carolina Election
Cases.

CHARLESTON, s. G, April lin
the United States Circuit Court to-
day, Judge Bond presiding, the case
of the United States against Bates
and others, managers and clerks OF
election, at Acton precinct, Richland
County, at the election of 1880, was
resumed. Before going into the
testimony the district attor-
ney stated the case to
the jury, and read and explained
several counts of information. The
charges, in brief, he said, were that
the defendants, at the Acton pre-
cinct, with the intent to effect the
election and the result of it, dis>
obeyed the law of the United States
in their conduct of the election, in
that they interfered, obstructed and
hindered, and neglected to assist the
United States supervisor in the dis
charge of his duty; in that they did
not open the ballot box and inspect
it and allow the supervisors to in
spect it, to see that it was empty; in
that they placed or caused to be placed
in the box and suffered to remain in
the box a number of tissue ballots
which had not been voted by any
legally authorized voter on that day
that they did it knowingly and with
intent to effect the election by hav>
ing said tissue ballots counted in
place of genuine ballots voted by
legally authorized voters.
The examination of witnesses fol
the prosecution then began. j. w
Scott, of Richland. was first ex-
amined and produced the ballot
box given to him by deputy
clerk of the court for Richlano
County as the Acton box. M. G
Robertson, chief clerk of the Secre>
tary of State, was next examined
and produced papers pertaining tC
the election at the Acton precinct
filed in the office of the Secretary O
State. Add son J. Forrest, United
States marshal at Acton precinct OF
the day of the election, and Hugh 2
Kane, United States supervisor
at the same place, both testify tha
the managers, upon the request o
the supervisor, opened the box il
the morning before the voting be
gan, but did not open it wide; tina
the election proceeded quietly al
day, and that when the box wa
opened sixty-eight more ballot
we're found in the box than ther
were names on the poll list. Tha
the managers, in accordance wit
the State law, drew out the exces
from the box through th
medium of clerk, who wa
Blind folded and then desttoye
them.
Both of these Witnesses testife
that they had seen things sticking
the lid of the box when 1T We
opened, and claimed that the bo
produced in court was not the DO
which had been used at Acton.
Kane, on cross>examination, test
fed that he came to this countr
from Ireland il 1867 with h
mother. That he came
South Carolina as a bod
servant of Elk Governor Franklin
Moses; that he had never been ma
uralized; that he had neverthele.
taken the oath as United Stat,
supervisor, and had voted at Acto
on the day of the election in 1880.
At the conclusion of Kane's tes
mony, the Court adjourned till
o'clock to morrow morning.

To the Editor of The EpeninQ Critic:
Again the long-suffering teachers of our
public schools are told that they must wait an
indefinite time for their pay. The cause is the
failure Of Congress to pass an appropriation
OF few thousand dollars to provide for in
creased service this year. The hardship to
those thus deprived of their earned and ex-
pected salaries is often very great. Many OF
the teachers have families to support, and can
save little or nothing. The injury to the
schools themselves is even greater. Many of
the female teachers, 1t is true, are nearly dis
couraged in their efforts, but must work on, If
not cheerfully, at least with what heart they
can. But however willing the male teachers
may be TO work for two-thirds OF the pay given
by other cities and for onehalf that of a Gov
ernment clerk, the limit is reached when they
are obliged to incur dishonor through inability
TO meet their obligations for even the necessa-
ries OF life. Mere pecuniary advantage may
not induce an earnest teacher to leave his
work TO inferior hands, but self-respect must
What teachers desire is not only prompt pay.

He Claims a Slice OF n Fat Contract
for His Influence in Putting 1t
Through.
Philadelphia Record.
Nat Mckay, the contractor, has $4,000 tied
up In the courts of British Guiana, at Deme-
one Philip Figyelmesy, the Consul of the
United States Government at Demerara. A
couple of years ago Mckay was awarded a
contract for constructing a market-house at
a claim for per cent. Of the amount Of the
contract, which would net him over $4,000 If
he could get 1t. He claims this sum of money
for "influence" exerted with the Town Council
and the members of the municipal gov
ernment. Mckay denounces the thing
as blackmail, and holds that he never agreed
to give the Consul or anyone else any money.
Notwithstanding this, Figyelmesey has gar
nisheed the $33, 600 which is yet due the con-
tractor, and does not propose to let 1t go unless
he receives his per cent, or some powerful
influence compels him to. The matter was
brought TO the attention of Mr.. Blaine when
he was Secretary of State, and that gentleman
promptly declared "the Department would
not recognize any claim, either real or al
leged." This had no terrors for the Consul,
and he still persisted in his demand; 30 Nc
Kay has laid all the correspondence in the case
before Senator Window, the Chairman OF the
Committee on Foreign Relations, and that
body will institute an inquiry into the matter.
Figyelmesy is Portuguese, and has had a
lively career. He served In the war with Carl
baldi, and came to this country In time TO
take hand In the rebellion. Somehow the
attention of General Simon Cameron was di
rected to him, and the ex-senator took fancy
10 the man. Later on he met Senator j. Don
aid Cameron, and the combined influence OF
the father and son secured for him the Con
sulship to Demerara. Mr.. Mckay declares
that he will have his money and Figyelmesy'f
scalp before he gets through, while the Consul
dares him to the fray,

st. Louis Newspaper Ethics.

The gray haired and disreputable managers
OF the Republican having, by their open exam
pie and public lives, encouraged and indorsed
tax-dodging, office begging, gambling, drunk
enness, cock-fighting, ballotbox stuffng and
other forms Of immortality, have supplemented
all other meannesses by encouraging secret
murderous assaults on citizens. According to
the stupid Repubiicdnit is eminently proper
for an unknown, hired bravo to stealthily and
brutally attack the editor of a newspaper who
happens TO have incurred the displeasure of
the Knapps, running away ike cowardly
dog when he thinks he has finished his base
work, and hiding like murderer TO escape
the consequences of his crime,

sharp and Sensible Talk.


A contemporary says Sergeant Mason Is about
the only man on whom the Republican party
can harmonic for any political once from
President down. II Is better TO harponize on
a man who distinguished himself as a Union
soldier, and shot at the cowardly dog who
committed the fOulest murder our annals can
show, than to have harmonized on a man
whose military record, to say the least, might
have been more brilliant, and who was nomi-
mated Ia and sustained the action OF a conven-
tion which declared theswar for the Union
failure.

In HIS lecture last night, Mr.. Beecher
said that any man could, at the age of 35,
be " independent of the world" That is,
rich. If this is SO, it is among the possi-
bilities that all men would soon be rich.
Poverty would be banished from the world,
because the sons of these rich men would
be born rich. Of course, this Beecher pos
sibility is an impossibility, unless he can
make the world over again.

WE believe the late report assigning vir-
ginian to the Cabinet was first published in
THE WASHINGTON CRITIC. No one, so far rs
we know, believed that Senator Malone, the
gentleman named, was to bo glven such po-
sition, but the story was evidently not a mere
newspaper invention. IL would be well for
THE CRITIC perhaps, TO give Its authority for
n statement which, II true, Indicated n moro
significant change in National politics than
any other since the civil war closed.-PtterS-
6Ufg I-ApDedt.
The Inder-Appeol is right in its belief
that THE CRITIC was the first to publish
the report referred to. The CRITIC is al
ways the first to publish the news. We re-
gret that we cannot satisfy the natural, not
to say laudable, curiosity of our Virginia
friend; but we cannot. As the b,dec-Ap-
peal we'll knows a paper cannot, in many
cases, give away its source of information,
and this is one of them. This we can say,
however, our information was from per-
fectly trustworthy and unusually well-in-
formed source. There is no doubt of the
desire of the President to avail himself Of
the services of the great Virginia Readjuster
in his Cabinet. There were many reasons
apparent to all political observers, why thi,
seemed to be shrewd and wise thing to
do. Other interests, however, clashed and
the idea was given up, at least for the
present.
