SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICAL
TRIALS.
Argument Concluded on the Motion
TO Quash the Information.

CHARLESTON, April Elm the United
States Circuit Court to-day, before Judges
Bond and Bryan, argument was resumed on
the motion to qussh the informations filed
in the election cases. Attorney General
Youmans was heard in reply and closed the
argument in support of the motion. Judge
Bond then announced that the court would
take time to consider the questions
submitted, and suggested that in the mean
time argument on the motion to set aside
the array of the grand and petit jurors
should proceed. Messrs. G. R. Miles and j.
P K. Bryan, the counsel selected to argue
this question, stated that they were not pre-
plred to go on at the time, and argument
was accordingly deferred. Col. j. @. Has
kell, one of counsel for the defendants In the
Richlaud county cases, moved for a con-
tinusnce OF these cases, stating to the court
that the prisoners were all poor men and
were here at great sacrifice of time and
means. He argued that continuance
OF the cases to the next term OF
the Circuit Court at Columbia would
be far more convenient to the defendants,
and would allow them time to procure ma
ierlal witnesses who have left the State.
Senator NJ. G. Butler also urged the court
to grant a continuance. Judge Bond said

INDUCED One of the Richland cases
had been called and argument on
the preliminary motion had been
heard for two days, and the case must
go on. Mr.. Haskell then asked the court If
it would make an order TO bring certain de-
fendants' witnesses at the expense of the
government as the defendants were unable
to procure their witnesses otherwise Judge
Bond said that after the requisite affidavits
had been made the court would consider
this question. On motion of District At
torney Melton, the court then adjourned
until Saturday morning at 10 O'Clock.

TiIdeu On Jefferson.

Ex-Governor TilGen has written letter
to the JeffersOnian Club, OF New Haven, in
answer 70 its invitation to be present at fits
cOmmemoration OF the birthday Of Thomas
jefferson. Mr.. Tlden ssys:
"Mr. Jefferson gave to our administrative
system an aspect OF republican simplicity
reuressed iObbery as well as all yeTversiOn
Of power, and by his precepts, his influence
and his example elevated the standard of
political morals. In his personal practice
he vas not only pure, but to make his eX-
ample more effective, he refTained, while
administering the greatest of official trusts,
from an attempts to increase his own for
tune even by methods open to every private
citizen. In a period when there seems to be
little respect for the limitations OF power
prescribed ly our written Constitution !;
when assumptions of ungranted authority
are rife in all the departments of the Federal
Government; when that government is be-
ing gradually changed into an elective
despOtism, meddling in everything belong
ing to the States or to individuals; when
every new assumption OF ungranted power
creates new opportunities, new facilities aud
new incentives to favoritism and jobbery;
when the civil service has been converted
Into balance OF power to determine the
elections by pecuniary and other illegiti-
mate Influences; when the perversion of
high public trusts to the private gain of the
officials Is FREQ 1ently committed with ap-
parent unconsciOusness of wrong and
passes almost without rebuke, it is time
that the teachings and the example of
Thomas Jefferson be invoked to keep alive
the glimmerfng spark OF official virtue and
public honor"

The wonderf,,I r,ome+ooL 1o5o

The wonderful Comstock lode, the great
est silver deposit ever discovered, seems to
have yielded the best of its treasures and to
offer little hope of developing any more
bODanzas. A number OF the mines have
long been working In the neighboIhood of
5000 feet below the surface of the earth. at
which depth they have discovered little bnt
hot air and hot water A little below the
2,S00-foot level the Yellow Jacket opened
up tremendous fow Of water. An eff Jrt
was made to keep the mine clear by pump
ing, but this proved such costly undertak-
ing that 1t has been abandoned. The pumps
are kept at work only to extent OF throwing
out 800 gallons per minute and this allows
the water to rise as high as the 2, 100 foot
level. All the lower levels for 600 (, ct
will probably be permanently flooded, and
the water allowed to go out through the
Sutro tulnel This will involve a similar
course with the Relcher, Crown Point and
Imperial, which are already taking out
tracks, air pipes and machinery from the
lower levels IN anticipation Of flooding from
the Yellow Jacket. There seems TO be an
impression that even If the mines could be
kept clear there W suld be little TO gain bv
delving deeper. Work will be continued in
the low grade ores near the surfsee,

SHIPHERD,
His Efforts to Buy Hurlbut, and
why They Failed.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-In the Shipherd
investigation to-day, the witness stated that
his correspondence with General Hurlbut
was begun by letter from himself to Hurl-
but dated May 28th. Witness was closely
pressed with questions, with the view TO
eliciting something definite relative to the
announcement, If any, he had received
from the Executive. He stated that Hurlbut
did not speak Of the President or Secretary
of State, but in an "embassadorial way''
used the expression "the government" !"
which led him (Shipherd) to believe
that he (Hurlbut) spoke by authority. The
only evidence witness had that the Presi-
dent ever saw any papers or knew any
thing about the business Of the Peruvian
Company was a letter he (Shipherd) re-
ceived from j. Stanley Brown, the Presi-
dents private secretary, stating: "Your
letter received, and referred to the State
Department"
Shipherd was asked in regard to his letter
to Hurlbut Offering a $780, 900 interest, why
he did not submit the proposition to him
orally at their interview in New York, and
replied:
because found l could not control the
direction Of his mind or the views he
might be led to take. l wanted to
put It in writing. 1 meant to beresponsi-
bic for exactly what l said and wanted
to say Cnly what meant. l did intend
to convey to him the idea that, If, upon
the knowledge of our plans and purposes, it
should seem to him perfectly proper to do
so, he or his friends should receive an in
terest of $250,000. 1 meant to influence
him to the extent Of preventing him from
opposing u.s."
Witness admitted that he would not have
approached Hurlbut had he believed him to
have been a man of probity and above
taking a bribe, anG vet with ingenious
sophistry insisted that he (Shipherd) was
not guilty Of any wrong intentions In
making the offer. In response to further
questions witness stated that Hurlbut never
acknowledged the receipt of the letter In
which this offer was made to MIN, and never
again called to see him (5hipherd).
did 1t not seem to you that these great
interests, which Hurlbut so emphatically
stated to you were considered by the gov
erOment as strong as Law and equity could
make them, were of sufficient moment to
warrant him in calling upon you sg ain when
be returned to New York ?"
ct certainly did so seem tc me. sup
pose Hurlbut did not call upon me because
he was in the pay of the Credit Industrial,
and was paid not to call. That was my
suppOstion. We never got him to do any
thing for u.s. and for the reason have
given. So far as his being corruptly in
fuenced in our favor, It would be just as
well to drop the subject right here. He
never was interested in our favor to my
knowledge"
On cross examination by Mr.. Rice, Shep-
herd said in regard to Mr.. Blaine that his
first interview with Blaine was suggested by
bis counsel Senator Blair, and occurred
two months after his interview with Hurl-
but, the enterprise in the meantime slum-
bering SO far as tile government was con-
cnrned.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.
strikes at COhOes and Toronto.

TROY, N. Y April 6.-Considerable ex-
element prevails in Cohoes over q notice Of
10 per cent. reduction in wages posted to-
day in the Harmony mills. The employees
claim that they have been discussing for a
month a proposed demand for an increase
OF wages, and that the notice was posted to
head off the demand. The EMPLOYERS say
that they are paying more for the same class
of work than the mills in Lowell, North
Adams and other manufacturing places, and
attribute the reduction to over production
and low prices. The mills are running, but
the employees will meet tonight to decide
on further action. The reduction affects
5000 persons, on whom 10000 depend for
support.
TORONTO. April Give hundred car
penters, three hundred female shoe opera
tives, and all the laborers employed at the
Grand Trunk freight sheds here, are on a
strike for higher wages. The cigarmakers
and painters have given their employers
notice that they will strike unless their
wages are increased.

IRISH-AMERICAN SUSPECTS.
Only Four Held In Prison.

LONDON, April GA dispatch to the
Times from Dublin says: "The report that
the Irish-Amercan suspects have been libe-
rated on condition that they will quit the
country, except two or three, who refused
to accept the condition, is unfounded.
About six of the suspects, who are natu-
rslized citizens of the United s ates.
have been released within the last three
weeks, but only on the same
grounds as were the others who were
liberated. Their citizenship is entirely un-
connected with their release, the executive
holding that all persons resident in Ireland
are liable to British law and are to be treated
as British subjects. Among those OF this
class who were released was Boynton, who
was liberated on account of i'll health. There
are only four more suspects of the same
class now imprisoned"

THE FATHER OF WATERS.

A Bad Outlook At Morgan City
Views of the Governors of the
Three Flooded States ON Repairs
TO the LeVees-The Arkansas Suf-
ferers Supplied with RatiOns.

NEW ORLEANS, April 6.-The Times Demo
Gratis Vlcksburg special reports a flourish
ing condition of things at Lake Providence
aud throughout the entire section contigu-
GUS thereto. Planting is progressing finely,
and planters can scarcely keep pace with
the rapidly-receding waters. On one plan
tation there are fifteen hundred acres of dry
land. Opposite Lake Providence the same
condition exists. The planters all seem con-
fident that full crops will be made this year.
NEW YORK, April 6.-The Herald pub
fishes replies from the Governors of Louisi-
ana, Mississippi and Arkansas, to inquiries
which it addressed to them as to what they
considered should be done by the several
State governments affected by the floods;
also by the Federal authorities, to
meet the present emergency and prevent
further disasters such as the present. Gov
ernor McEnerv intimates that the losses of
the people of Louisiana will be so large as
to preclude the possibility of raising half
the million dollars necessary to rebuild the
broken levees. He shows that nearly one
hundred aud eighty thousand persons will
sustain pecuuiRrY damage In consequence
of the overflow, and considers it perfectly
legal and proper that the United States
Government shall undertake to make
all the requisite repairs. The Cover
nor of Arkansas, to great extent, cnineIdes
with the Executive of Louisiana Hs sees
no reason why the Federal Government
cannot take charge of the entire levee
system. The taxation for river purposes is
so small that sufficient funds cannot be
gathered to do the work required along the
river. Governor Lowery states that before
the war the system of levees was in exist
ence, but ny the time the great conflict was
over 1t was completely wrecked. 1t has
never been replaced, and the damage now
is so overwhelming that it is, he says,
beyond the power OF the State to repair it.
MEMPHIS, April 6.-Judge Mangum,
Commissioner OF the State of Arkansas, in
an interview to night says that all the dessi-
tute OF his State have been provided for
until the 18th inst, and that with 100, 900
more ratiOns now on the way, to be distrib-
uted at Helena, no more government aid
will be required. The river is falling from
Cairo to New Orleans, and the decline so
far at this point has been three feet, two
