VIM. McCaw Taken Into Custody as Fugitive
at His Sick Mothers Bedside.

Yesterday morning Superintendent of Police
Travis received a telegram from the marshal of
Lincoln, H., asking him to arrest William Nc
Cav. wanted in that city for murder The tele
gram gave description of the man, and stated

the fugitive, and last night succeeded
in finding him at the home of
his mother, Mrs. Eliza Fawcett, on
North West street He was in bed when the
officers went in, and answered to his name when
they spoke to him. He declared that he was in
nocent of any crime, and begged to be allowed
to remain at home with his mother, who is very
dangerously sick He was taken to the station
house, and locked up to await the arrival of the
Lincoln officers, who have been notified of the
arrest.
McCaw refused to talk to any one regarding
the crime with which he is charged. He says
he left this city twenty-one years ago and went
to Lincoln, which place he has since considered
his home, though he has spent the greater por-
ton of his time rowing over the West He has
wife and three children, he says, In Lincoln.
He claims to have come to this city two weeks
ago last Saturday on message from
MS relatives staHDg that his mother
was sick. He is forty-two years of
age When closely questioned he did
not deny that he had had
trouble in Lincoln, but its nature, or the name of
the man whom he is charged with numbering, he
refused to divulge Several days since there
was fireman murdered in fight in saloon in
Lincoln, and it is supposed this is the affair in
which he is implicated Credence is given to this
from the fact that when reporters
asked him if he owned the saloon in which the
murder was committed, he answered in the neg
alive. The Lincoln officers are expected here
for him this morning

The Constitution,

> Tile Newbeay Observer comment
ing ON the remarks of the Anderson
! ntellgencer favoring a Constitutional
Jonydntion has the followingt
r The fact. that it is q Radical Con
stitution is, we believe, the chief and
almost the only objection to it. The
objection is simply sentiment. Sen
timent is well enough, but South Car !.
olina is too poor just now to pay 40 or
SO thousand dollars to crafty senti- |
ment. Leaving out the question of
sentiment, we have no hesitation in
saying thnt the probabilities are the
present Constitution contains much
less objectionable material than one
that would be adopted now. Better
bear tho ills we have than fly to those
we know not Of Better change the
Constitution by gradual amendments
rather than go to an expense of 40
OF SO thousand dollars to get one that
may not be as good as the one VIC
have. Talk of the people, framing q
Constitution; the people no more
frame Constitution than they make
the laws. One hundred and tifty-nine
men make the laws; and they don't nl-
ways make such Oh the 'people' want
or need. One hundred and tifty-nine
men would frame o Constitution, and
there is no assurance whatever that
they would frame it to suit the peo-
pie.
! But to turn to our esteemed cotcm.
pornry Of Anderson. What aro the
unnecessary Offices provided for by
the Constitution?
The Constitution provides for Gov

Are any Of these "unnecossaly"? The

The Constitution further provides
for the following county offices; Clerk
Sheriff, Probate Judge, Coroner and
three County Commissioners Any
unnecessary Offices" hcrG! If so
name them. 1t also provides for } Jus

is hardly worth while to go to an ex

VIXEN the General Assembly manages
