Republican Rascality,

WASHINGTON, August 22.-Secretary
Post, of the Democratic Congressional
campaign committee, discovered to day
that that committee was inadvertently
helping along the Republican campaign
by distributing Republican documents.
The Democratic committee has been
sending out as one of its principal
campaign documents, the speeches de-
livered by Senator Voorhees, op the i'm.
prisonmcnt of McSweeney, the Irish sus.
pect, by the British officials during the
Garneld administration, and copies of
these speeches are obtained by the com.
mittee by requisition upon the Senate
folding room. They are delivered to the
committee in large quantities., several
thousand at Il time already folded, and in
wrappers, addressed by the committees
employees and placed in the mails. It
appears to have been the custom of the
committee to rely altogether upon the
Integrity and care of The Senate folding
room Officials, and to mail the documents
received oy them without examination.
10. day, however, an employee of the
commlttee discovered, by accidentally
opening one of the documents he was
about to mail, that instead of Voorhees,
speech, the committee was distributing,
"Where they would do the most good,"a q
Republican campaign document entitled
The History and Benefcence of Protec.
tion," made up of speeches on the pro-
tectionist aide of the tariff question de-
livered in the House of Representatives
last winter. An examination followed,
and disclosed the fact all the supposed
VOORHEES, speeches in possession of the
committee were copies of this document.
Secretary Post went at once to the super.
lntendent Of The fading room, s;ad took
MIN to task about the matter, and was
informed that the substitution of the one
document for the ether was an honest
mistake. 1t is not known how MANY
Republican documents were sent out by
the Democratic committee They them.
selves have no means of establishing the
fact.

A Governors Danger.

GALVESTON, August 22-The rc:,ort.
ed arrest of Governor Ireland st Houston
ia false. Governor Ireland, accompanied
by Hon. Barnett Gibbs, candidate for
lieutenant governor; Congressman We'll
born and Miller, together with about one
hundred delegates to the late convention,
arrived at Galveston last evening. Mar.
shall Tracy Informed representative of
the associated press that he bad no in.
tention of arresling the governor during
his attendance upon the State convention
at Houston. The marshal has no fears
that the governor will seek to avoid the
service OF the warrant, and hence he has
selected another time and place for the
arrest OF the governor under the Fran
co.'s affidavits. The famous miscegena-
tion case Of Emil Francois originated
here IN 1879. He was tried under the
State law Of 1858, which makes it a
peptentlary offense for white person to
marry negro-the negro not being
amenable. The case was appealed to the
supreme court of Texas, and was there
affirmed. 1t was then carried before
United States District Judge Duyal, and
the ground urged that the law undo-
which conviction was had was in conflict
with the fourteenth amendment. Judge
Duval concurred in tho decision of the
circuit court. Ex- United States District
attorney o. G. Garland, who was then.
as now, connected with the case, appeal.
ed to Circuit Judge Woods. That Official
thought the writ of habeas corpus should
lBsue, and instructed Garland to lay the
matter before Duval, but Duval died and
Judge Turner was appointed TO the va.
cancy. Turner declined to take action.
inasmuch as Francois had then been in
the penitentiary long enough for the
question Of jurisdiction to arise. Garland
then sent the papers to United States
Judge Morrill,, of the eastern district at
Galveston, but they were returned to him
without action. Upon the appointment
OF Sabin the application was again made
but refused. Subsequently tho matter
vas brought Up by Judge Sabin, who
called Garland home from Connecticut
for the purpose of prosecuting the case.
The question involved is the validity of
ante bellum statutes since the adoption
OF the fourteenth amendment, snd all
decisions so far of both State and federal
courts have been that the State law does
not conflict with the federal constitution.
The question has never gone to the
supreme court OF the United States. 1t
is held that the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments were to prevent discrimina.
ton against the negro, while this law
dlscriminates against whites. AS to the
suit brought by Garland in behalf of
Francois, charging Governor Ireland with
conspiracy to defraud Francois of his
citizenship, it is regarded by Governor
Ireland as of trivial Importance, and by
the federal authorities here as mere folly.

AN ERRoNEoUs 1arPREssroN.

The Editor of the INTELLIaENCER
has received a communication as County
Chairman from q gentleman living In
the lower portion of the County, which
contends that the County Executive
Committee made mistake in declaring
the result Of the recent election for
County Commissioners, and should have
declared Col. Joshua Jameson elected,
rs he thinkn Col. Jameson received a
majority of the votes cast for County
Commissioners. He reaches this con.
clusicn BY adding up all the votes receive
ed fer County Commissioners, which
makes t0, 1886. This he divides by the
number Of Commissioners TO be elected,
which giyes the vote cassas 8, ,62s. Then
1916 would ba q majority of this vote,
and as Obi. Jameson received ls76 he.
hnd q majority. The mistake our friend
makes Is in failing b ALLOW for the men
Who oSyotsd or;oniy one or, two !Commiss.
sionsrs. Under bis plan a little over
ons.aixth Of The vote caat could nominate

General Butler on the Stump.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., August 20.-Gen-
eral Butler spoke again last night in the
Coliseum at Rocky Point to small au.
dience. He said he had followed the
banner of the Democracy unwillingly
because it was the banner of slavery.
He kept his bargain with that party,
which in those days was the nearest
straight. Jefferson Davis was constitu.
::onally right. He fought for his party
until he found his country was in danger
aud then left the party. He stood by
greenbacks because nothing else vas
paid to the soldiers during tho war, aud
what was good enough for the soldiers
was good enough for the bankers. He
stood by the Republican party until it
put forward for President a man whom
he could net support; then, without
altering O single sentiment, he left and
supported q gallant soldier. He brought
the labor issue before tho Democratic
party, and tho principle was spurned.
He left them and appealed to the people.
He had not changed one hair, end what
he had done was not done in q corner.

A water-spout at Fort Hill.

COLUMBIA, August 22.-Passengers
on the up train on the Charlotte Rail.
road yesterday afternoon state that OF
Fort Mill they passed through one Of
the most terrific dounponrs Of rain that
they had ever known. For one mile on
either aide Of Fort Mill the rainfall was
tremendous. AT fort Mill the water
covered the railroad track 10 the cuts to
o depth of eight inches. The streams
were fsr out OF their banks and oil the
low lands were submerged. Crossties
that had been lying in she ditcEes were
liftsd up by the water and lodged across;
the rails, causing the train 10 Be stopped
until they could be removed. A peculiar
fact was that on either side ofthe two
mile stretch the amount of rainfall was
scarcelys sufficient I . lay the dust. There
was considerable, wind and thunder and
lightning, but the damage was confined
To, tho crops in certain localities. There
were seasonable raina oil along the lihe
of the Columbia and Greenvillo Road

necessary for majority was 1898. Col.
Jameson received 1876, or twenty-five
votes less than majority, and hence
under the rule ha, to run it over.
The same question arose with Capt.
Vandiver for the House Of Representa-.
tives two years ago, and the principle
was then settled by the Committee, and
no Convention has seen fit to change the
rule. Capt. Vandiver ran over, and was
elected. The same is likely to be the re-
suit in the case Of Col. jameson, but we
have thought it right to say this much
in order that his friends might not be
deceived into failing to vote for him next
time. He has not yet been nominated.
He lacked twenty two votes Of it.

RESULT or THE ,RIMAnY ELECTION.

The result Of the primary election on
last Friday shows that the people of
Anderson County either are in favor of
the State University, the Citadel aud the
Columbia Canal. or that they care 30
little about them that they are willing to
leave them entirely in the hands Of the
men they elect 10 the Legislature. OF
the men nominated in the primaries, only
one was elected who is opposed to the
University and the Citadel, aud he was
not elected on this issue, but because of
bis personal popularity, growing out Of
the fact that he is an agriculturaist and
lives on one side of the County-the zen
tIment being to Lave at least two Repre-.
sentatives in the next Legislature practi.
cally identified with the agricultural in
terest and representing different sections
Of the County, without reference to their
views on these matters. There were
only two candidates from the country
running in the primary, and both of then,
were elected by the highest votes in the
primary. One favored and the other
opposed these Institutions, and the one
who favored them ran 1873 votes ahead
of the one who opposed them. Of tho
FIVE candidates from the City four favored
and one opposed them. The four who
favored them ran considerably ahead OF
the one who opposed them. and rye be-
lieve their position upon this question
contributed in very large measure to
the result. AS the delegation now stands,
three will vote for appropriations to these
institutions and one against them. The
Canal seems to have been swallowed up
in the interest OF the University, two of
the men elected being in favor of com.
pleting it, il upon examination they
think the State will be benefited, aud
two opposed to il. One of the two who
favor it is Col. Rucker, who voted for it
when In the Legislature before. The
two old members reelected, Messrs.
scudday and Clinkacales, both voted
against 1t. These were the only former
members running, and the result indi.
Gates that this question played very little,
ifany, part at al! in the result. There 10
one thing, however, that may be put
down rs certain, and that Ia that the
next canvass in Anderson County will be
conducted on live Issues aud not upon
settled ones. The University and the
Canal will not disturb the visions of the
politicians again in this County. They
are settled questions, and the people OF
Anderson County cannot be induced to
undertake the impossible task of abolish.
ing them.
