g A Washington correspondent says
!, There has been a strong drift OF Demo
3cratic sentiment during the last fortnight
toward Senator Bayard. If the revenue
reform people control the Chicago Con.
fyention, Bayard is now considered as q
yery available candidate. His pure rec
ord and high character are admitted even
by5his enemies. aehas another advan-
tage. He is poor man. One observer,
in G speaking Of this point, said: i think
it would be a good thing to nominate a
Door man. It will be easier to collect
= money for Bayard than it would be tor o, a
man who represents merely barrel.
I'VE truss that such consideration may
be reached in the National Convention as
the nomination of Mr.. Bayard. He is
pre.eminently an able, pure and upright
statesman who, we believe, the Democrats
could elect President, and in electing
whom they would honor themselves and
greatly benefit the country.

probation of his soldierly qualities and
eminent craftsmanship.

Paris Simpkins, of Edgeheld, introduc'
ed the following. which was adopted:
Resolved, That in view of the embar-
RAISING circumstances growing out the
assassination of the late lamented Presl'
dent James A. Garfield and the extreme
ly delicate position in which the present
incumbent President Chester A. Arthur
was placed, we, the Republicans of South
Carolina, in Convention assembled, DO
heartily endorse the administration OF
President Arthur as wise, economical and
lust, without reproach or stain, and per-
fectly harmonious in all its departments.
After this the real work of the Con-
ventiou was proceeded with and nomiua-
tions for delegates at large were made as
follows: E. NJ. Brayton, Robert Smalls,
W. N. Taft and Samuel Lee.
The nominations were made with the
most laudatory remarks and each OF the
nominees had sacrificed self for the main
tenance of the party. The only thing
that spoiled the good effect was the mu-
tual admiration that the party expressed
for each other.
The delegates at large, as nominated,
were elected and the convention adjourn.

WASHINGTON, April lS.-In the
House, on motion of Mcmillan, of Ten.
nessee, the bill limiting 10 two years the
time within which prosecutions may
be instituted against persons charged
with violating internal revenue laws was
taken up for consideration.
White, of Kentucky, took advantage
of the brief debate on the bill to criti'
else the action of the Springer Committee
in stopping the investigation of the char
ges against Governor Murray, of Utah
The man under investigation had said he
was not guilty and called upon Justice
Harland and Speaker Carlisle to testify
to his good character. Thereupon the
yestigation had ceased and not only
that, but the committee had proposed 10
investigate his Whites character He
reiterated his charges against Murray
the man whom Mrs. Hayes had appoint
ed as Governor of Utah.
Miller, of Pennsylvania, called the
gentleman to order for not addressing
himself to the bill under consideration,
but the House decided that White might
be permitted to proceed in order. But
White continued to talk in the same
strain, when Miller again called him to
order.
The Speaker thought that the remarks
of The gentleman were not relevant to
the bill.
White said that the difference between
The Speaker and himself was that while
he had been endeavoring to defend the
rights Of the poorest people in his State
the Snea :er had been endeavorlng to get
bills through Congress for the biggest
whisky monopoies iE the State oil Ken
tucky
Miller demanded that these words be
taken down as unparliamentary.
The Speaker-"The chair desires that
the words should not be taken down, and
that no notice should be taken of them."
[Applause on both sides of the cham
Der.
Miller thereupon withdrew his demand, ,
but insisted that the gentleman should
proceed 10 order or not at all. =,
The Speaker-"The Chair will endeav-
or to enforce the rules of the House"
Cannon, Of Illinois, suggested that
great latitude had bceu always permitted
to to members in speaking, and that their
remarks were not confined to tho prov's
ions of the special bill under consldera'
ton. -,
The Speaker replied that, while Of his
own opinion, he would not interfere with
the course of gcnteman's remarks, but
when ,he point was raised by another
member lie was bound to decide the
question il accordance with the rules.
Miller said that he did not raise the
point oul of any ill,feeling toward the
gentleman from Kentucky, but ne ana
Object TO the time Of the House being
taken up 10 the settlement of differences
which one member of Congress might
have with some other one. A member
had the utmost liberty in debate, ana
could not be called to account for his
utt.rapces, and that liberty ought not to
be abused, The House ought MOTTO permit
auy member to abuse his privilege and
say anything derogatory to the character
White then proceeded in order, and at
the conclusion of his speech the bill WAS
passed.

Tie political prosecutions have been
discontinued by the United States gov.
ernment, and the people of the State
breathe freer for the assurance that their
friends and fellow citizens are not to be
continually harassed with prosecutions
without cause, founded on perjured evil
dence. The announcement of District
Attorney Melton that he had recommen--
ded the dismissal of; these cases is also
reeassuring, and we may hope that 1t
eyinces remaining spark of manhood
and high; feeling, which may yet assert
Itself and keep him in future from lend.
ing his splendid abilities to such work
as these, prosecutions have been hereto.
FORE No: one blames Mr.. Melton fol
prosecuting cases which were sent up to
the Court. Even if they were trivial he
had the right to have them passed on
by the Court, but every rfght.minded
manis obliged to condemn in unmeasured
terms his efforts to pack juries for the
purpose of securing partisan verdicts
upon partisan, and in many instances,
perjured testin.l... tits a discredit to
his reputation to have prostituted his
abilities to so base q purpose, and it will
require years of3proper conduct for him
to efface it. The dismissal of these ca
ses is step in the right direction, and
we hope it will be followed by many
others which will restore the District
Attorney to that position of confidence
and respect which he so unnecessarily
and inexcusably lost by the conduct Of
these cases which he now disrisses.

The fears of those who oppose the
Educational Bill in Congress seem to us
very imaginary. They do not criticise
the present. measure much, but say they
fear it may lead to future political trou-
BILE. This is what is Familiarity termed
borrowing trouble. For fear that bad
thing may come in the future, they pro-
pose to refuse good thing at present.
It will be impossible for the United
States government to interfere in our To-
cal affairs without both branches of
Congress ard the President are Republi,
can, and if they are Republican they
could pass new bill as easy or easier if
the present bill is defeated as they could
amend the present bill if it becomes law.
There is just as much danger of federal
interference without the present law as
with it. Such interference is imaginary
in both cases. The present bill only
gives the money outof the federal treas
ury to our State common schools. There
is no federal oficeryto disburse it. Un.
der it the entire management of the
schools-the selection Of teachers and
everything pertaining to its administra-
tion-is 1eftato the State. Therefore. if
we are to have common school system
half supported by the State, it seems to
us that it would be very desirable to have
the other half given to the State from
some other source. We regret that some
Of our representatives in Congress are
taking counsel of their fears, and oppos-
ing. this important measure. We hope,
however, thst it will be passed by the
House and become law. 1t cannot
hurt the South and will annually bring
iuto this State about four hundred thou.
sand dollars for eight years.
