the Only Unusual Feature.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Nov. 2.--The gen.
eral election in this State was uninterest-
ing. The Democrats nominated a full
State ticket, to which there was no oppo-
sIti0n. Seven Congressman were voted
for, but the only contest was in the Sew
enth district, where Elliott, DEM, ran
against Smalls (colored) Rep. The only
special feature is the effort of the repre-
sentatives of the so-oalled farmers move
ment to obtain control OF the Legislature.
The OsteusibIe object is the establishment
of an agricultural college, the abolition
of free tuition in the South Carolina Col
lePe, and the reorganization OF the Agri-
cultural Department. 1t is not likely
that Che Fillmanites, as they are called,
will have majority in the Legislature.
The only interest in the election in this
State is oentered in the independent nomI-
nations for the Legislature in Berkeley
county, and the contest between Elliott,
Dem, ana Smalls, Rep, for Con-
gress in the Seventh or black dis
trict. There are no Indications
vet as to the result OF the local fight in
Berkeley county, but all reports ON the
Seventh district show heavy Democratic
gains over 1884, when Smalls was elected
probability OF Elliotts election owing TO
his strength as candidate, the unpopu-
larity OF Smalls and the apathy OF the
colored voters.
COLUMBIA REVIEWS THE FIELD.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Nov. There being
no opposition to the Democratic candi-
dates for Congress IN the First, Second,
Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Congress
sional districts In this state, the election
was quiet and the vote very small, not
more than one-third OF the full vote II
that much being polled. In the Seventh
and only remaining district, known as
"the black distriot,' now repre-
sented by Smalls (negro), Rep, the
situation was different. Smalls was
candidate for reelection. He vas op-
posed by William Elliott, white Demo-
crat. The whites, with number Of lead
ing influential negroes, made supreme
effort TO defeat Smalls, with good chance
OF success, so much 80 that 1t cannot be
decided until all the precincts are heard
from. There was no opposition to the
State ticket, which was entirely Demo-
cratic.

The Investigation was under q resolution d.

members Of the present Legislature, being
also members OF the last, were guilty OF be.
ing induced by corrupt means to vote for
Mr. Payne. These charges were not sus.
tanned and the SO reP6 tSe
dence tending to show that Mr.. Payne'S name
was not publicly suggested rs q candidate for
Senator until after tho State election; that u
was not very prominently suggested until
shortly before his election in January; that
many persons who had been supposed to
favor PendIcton voted for Payne: that there
was widespread belief that corrupt means
! were used to procure tho result; that one
member was offered Il large sim of money for
his vote; thai there were hearsay statements
| charging corruption as to several others; that
two members of the Legislature received
! large sums OF money about the time OF the
! election, Of which being called as witnesses
| they gave no satisfactory account; that tho
| principal managers OF Mr.. Payne canvass
Paige, Mclean, Huntington and Oliver H.
Payne, did not testify before the committee.
But there is no evidence tending to show the

actions, and none tending to show thai the
result was changed or affected by such

'While the war against exterminators

another mode OF killing off birds, which
has not been in print. It is becoming
fashionable now for every one to have
his or her own private collection of

You may 60 in hundreds of wealthy
homes in this city and find box of

of the nest are blown by perforating one
end with needle and then inserting
the point of small instrument, which
works like syringe. When they are
dry they are laid on cotton in a small
box with glass cover, which shows off
their beauty advantageously. One hun

But the proofs submitted for their con-
sideration were too flimsy, and, de-
spite the appeal of Senator Sherman,
the special pleading of Congressman
Little and Butterworth, and the wild
tomtoms of the one hundred Republic

Then he told how a short time ago,
