MIC Fitzsimons Case.

While the public hearing of the Fitz-
sImons case went over to Monday next,
the auditor, counsel and experts are
busily engaged on it every day in the
United States Court room. Indeed,
the hearing was continued in order
that the evidence, mainly books of ac-
count, might be examined at leisure. AS
the case now stands, it seems to be in a
very complicated shape. The court and
counsel are puzzled over the system OF
accounts and the various conflicting
statements sent from Washington, and
it is doubtful if the muddle will be
cleared without the assistance of govern
ment experts. For instance, ex-Marshal
Ftzsimons has In his possession as
exhibits in the case, half dozen different
Statements Of his account from the de-
partment at Washington. The first shows
balance due him; the next shows bal
ance due him, but to a less amount; the
third brings him in debt to the govern
ment, and so on, TIL the last brings him
in debt to Uncle Sam about $4,000. There
must be something radically wrong in
this system OF accounts, which Of itself Is
not very creditabIe to the government.
The first day of the hearing the govern
ment dumped in a pile of books and
papers OF accounts and closed. on the
following dayit appeared that if they had
made out a case neither the court nor the
counsel for the government could tell ex-
actly what it was. They are still at work
on that side Of the case, and 1T VIII be
some days yet before the Marsbal will
have an opportunity of presenting his
side Of the litigation.
The evidence is so complicated and
voluminOus that 1t will be some time vet
before a decision is reached.
The case is similar in some respects to
that OF Gen. LOngstTeet and will prOba-
bly, be settled IN much the same way.

Cotton is also looking well, but the stand
is bad. Grass is abundant and thriving
The recent continued heavy rains in
Ebert county have thrown the farmers
very much behind with their crops. Grass
Is interfering very seriously with the
young cotton, and farm laborers are in de-
mand. Most OF the bottom corn has been
planted three times, and no stand yet on
large portion of the land. So the present
outlook for crops there is rather gloomy.

The Hon. d. S. Henderson, Of Aiken, is |
considered an aspirant for the seat in |
Cong ess now occupied by the Hon. &. d.
Tillman.
DIR. j. w. Summers, who has repre-
scented Orangeburg in the Legislature for
several sessions, will not be a candidate
for reelection.
Ex-senator t. j. Moore and Col. j. S. r.
Thompson have been spoken of as the
successor OF the late Senator E. IL. Bobo,
Of Spartanburg.
Berkeley viii elect Senator this fall,
and the friends Of Col. Charles st. G..
Sinkler are confident that he will receive
the nomination.
The Yorkvile Enquirer says: "Col. A.
Coward and Gen. f. M. Law are both in
the field for nomination as Congressman
HemphilPs successor"
Capt. NJ. l.. Bonham, Jr., editor of the
Abbeville Messenger, has been mentioned
as suitable person to be made Adju-
tant and Inspector General.
Orangeburg appreciates her young men.
1t is said that there will be no opposition
to the return of her youngest Representa-
tives, Messrs. T. Nj. Raysor and Chas. G.
Dantzler, if they wish another term In the
! Legislature.
Col. W. l.. Mauldin, of Greenville, and
the Hon. X. II. Mockbee, OF Chester, have

A paragraph is going the rounds of me
press Of the State to the effect that Savan-
nah had sent 1000 to Macon as her con-
tribution towards electing Maj. Bacon.
A few. or possibly many, friends to Mai
Bacon probably raised the fund aud sent
it up to help their candidate in his cam
paign. The people OF Savannah as body
did not do it. They don't propose to buy
up the election.
Athens Banner: Col. t. w. Rucker
says he will not be in the race for LegIs-
lative hOnOrs, which leaves the contest
with Messrs. Russell and MurreH. We
do not suppose that any other aspirants
Will enter the arena. Mr.. John r.. Tucker
says he will not offer for Sheriff, as re-
ported. Messrs. Browning and Wier are
the only aspirants, although the Knights
of Labor, we learn, will probably put out
candidate.
Eastman Times: We are reliably in
formed that duriuO the last fpW dava tho
charge has frequently been made that
Col. ID. NJ. Roberts used whisky TO secure
his nomination last Saturday. Now, the
writer, the junior editor OF this paper, on
his own responsibility, and on his own
motion, taxes occasion to say that state
ment to this effect is false. Col Roberts
never used any whisky, neither was be
aware that any was going to be used.
Some OF his friends who did use itare net,
and never were, prohibitionIsts, and they
desire us to state that they, and they only,
are responsible for their action.
