THE Morrison horizontal tariff reluc-
ton bill, u synonym for free trade, was
introduced from the Ways and Means
Committee yesterday afternoon, and
now we may expect the real contest on
the bill to commence. The indications
at present are that without number
of important notifications the bill will
be defeated in that branch Of Congress
where it has the most friends. At the
most it is but an electionecring docu-
ment, by which the Democrats expect
to make capital for their candidate for
President. Appearances would indi-
cate that they have already gone too
far, and that defeat stareS them in the
face even before their candidate is nom
mated. The business Of the country is
very sensitive upon this point and will
stand no tampering with its interests,
and this Mr. Morrison and his free
trade adherents will soon find out if
they have not already done SO.

If ANYTHING LIKE fair election is
held in the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict cf South Carolina 10 ill the yaCan'
cy in Congress occasioned by the death
of Mr. Mackey, there will be another
cOored member in Congress, Mr. Smalls
having been nominated by the Republi-
cans for that office. In the late gerry
mandrr in South Carolina the Bourbons
We're perplexed TO find some plan by
which all the districts in the State could
he carried by the Democrats, but they
found that if they attempted to do that
there was danger Of losing several dis
tricts on account of the rrcponderancc
of Republican voters in the State. II
was finally concluded to give the Re
publicans one district, and to crowd
into it all the counties giving large
Republican maiOritics, thus making all
the other districts in the State, by means
of a moderate amount Of Intimidation
and bulldOzing, reasonably sure for the
Democrats
The average population Of a Congress
sional District is about l54, 600, bat the
average population of the six Democrat
ic districts of South Carolina is far be-
low this while the population of the
single Republican district is over $780,
900, and contains a Republican MAORI
ty Of some $4,000. 1t is confidently
expected that Mr.. Smalls will be elect
ed, though if the good church going
Democrats turn ont like they did in
Copiah County, Mississippi, with shot
guns and drive the Republicans into
the swamps before election day, and by
a liberal stutfing ofthe ballot boxes they
may succeed in elccting Democrat by
any majority they see proper to give
him.
If the Democrats needed one more
man to accomplish a purpose in Con-
gress, there is no doubt in the world
that the district would be made to re-
turn that needed man, but as they
already have a large majority, and do
not need that man the election OF MI
Smalls may be permitted.

The taItimO ore Democratic Plan.

Baltimore has adopted the Virginia
method of legislating for the people.
If there is a man holding an office that
gives Otiense to the Democratic party
he is promptly legiSlated out of it
by an ordinance. J. Monroe Heiskill
is, or was until Mondaynight, Fire Mar
shall of the city. He is and always has
been a Democrat, hut at the late cleo
ton he was nominated as an independ-
rnt candidate for Mayor, and was en-
dorsed by the Republicans. He came
within two or three thousand of defeat
ing Mr.. Latrobe, the candidate OF the
machine Democrats.
Latrobe, in order to Fave revenge
when he took his seat, recommended
the abolition of the Office of Fire Mar
shall. The1 select branch of the city
had ten reform members, to twelve Of
the machine order. The ten retormers
could only defeat such a high handed
partisan measure by withdrawing and
leaving the branch to which they be-
longed without quorum. They took
the responsibility, withdrew some four
weeks ago, and have not yet returned.
But the members left, though not "A
quorum, We're not to be scared from
their purpose.
The case was urgent, HeiSkell had to
be removed, for Mayor Latrobe demand
ed it, and wasn't Latrobe Democratic
boss? The ordinance was passed and
last night the other branch endorsed
the ordinance and Heiskell is consider
ed by the Baltimore machine Democrats
as being no longer Fire Marshal of
Baltimore, though what the law will
say may be something quite different.
In the meantime, Mr.. Latrobe is called
upon by Democratic committee from
Democratic Legislature to tell how
much money from certain railroad
company he spent in securing his elee-
ton.
He may yet "know how it is
before he is out of the woods

Like many of our citizens we We're as
tOnished to find that several artesian
wells in town which had almost or en-
tirely ceased to flow, burst into new life
on the opening Of Jumbo at Mr. Ken
nerly's. We have been favored with the
following explanation, which is borne
out by the experience of those who have
driven wells to great depths in the neigh
borhOod:
After penetrating sand and alluvial de-
posits for fifty or sixty feet, clay is
reached, and under this water, and next
rock, usually coquina. After this cells,
often of some depth, are found and the
auger drops in these several feet to the
bottom. Then a stratum of rock, then
another cell, and this continues to at
least three or four hundred feet. Now.
the town well drew its supply from one
Of these underground lakes till the source
of the flow was exhausted, then the au-
ger from the Jumbo" passed through
this lake to the next, and let up, or
down, a new supply. Thus a fact which
seemed so strange is easily explained. and
we render thanks to the geologist who
gave us the science, and to Mr.. Ray.
who let in the light of his experience on
our problem.

ED. DAILY NEWS:
A respectable white woman came
across the river on Thursday last to visit
the city. She had young child in her
arms and while walking up the street,
she tripped against a rough splinter on
the side walk and fell down and injured
herself and the child very seriously,
so much so, that she shed tears. To
make the matter worse, a boot and a
shout in derision arose from numerous
dirty, ragged, black boot-blacks that
hang around and modest citizens almost
every hour of the day.
These black scamps declared that this
woman was a cracker" and had no
bushes to be walking on thestreets here.
Many of these pests of the city seem
to be Migrants and reckless and quarrel
some whenever they can get chance.
White people in many instances are
obliged to keep their children out of the
streets, or send them on errands. in con-
sequence of these black troops, who hang
around the stores and grog shops and
various corners, watching for an oppor-
tunity to make themselves disagreeable
to ladies and children passing by. Ere
quently, in the ''postofice" they scuffle,
talk loud and push against people, par
ticularly in a crowd waiting for the mail,
and they seem to do it to show that they
have as good right to the city as any
body else and do as they please. The
officers of the city would certainly con-
fer favor to the public by correcting
this evil; and one step towards it, would
be, to COMPEL these young boot-blacks,
baggage carriers, etc, to pay a liscense
for their occupation and send them to
their homes in Newtown and out of the
streets, when not employed properly.

in its ascent you expect every sudden

think the painter has borrowed from his

good semblance will not enable her
to dispense entirely with views of the
