Special Telegram to the Register.
CHARLESTON, March Considerable
interest is manifested in the anticipated
call of Governor Wilson for an extension
Of the Legislature. Thesentiment is quite
unanimous that the Governor ought to is
sue the call before the fourth day of March.
The sentiment is quite as strong that
Governor Wilson holds over, but in order
to avoid any possible complication, the
majority Of Democrats believe that the
call should be made now. 1t has been ru-
mored that Governor Wilson will not issue
his call till after March 4th. so sure is lie
in the position he has taken.
The legal war will commence imme-
diately after the 4th Capt Carr has al
ready secured counsel in the person of
Judge Ferguson. Gen. GOff will be here
tomorrow, and will be represented before
the Supreme Court by eminent counsel
from without the State. Governor Wilson
is now preparing his case and will be as
sisted by Attorney General Caldwell.
Carr is so confident of success that he
rendered the Secretary Of Stateship to Col.
'Bill Dave" Goshorn, who declined, but
it ia understood he would accept if Carr
succeeds. Virgil Gates is also said to be
mentioned in that connection, although
the triangular fight looks very interesting
at this writing
Congressman-elect Anderson leaves for
Washington tomorrow.

BATTLE OF GRAND SALINE.
Seventeen of HIppolyte's Men In Battle
No One Hurt.

Seventeen of HlPpOlyte's Men In Battle
No One Hurt
NEW YORK, March 1.-The Dutch
steamship, Prinz Willem, from Hsyti, ar
rived at her dock in Brooklyn last even
ing. She left Port au Prince on the after
noon of Washington's birthday and had a
good run to this city.
The captain said; 81 have heard no
news whatever of fighting since the last
news of the battle near st. Marc, publish
ed in the New York papers. Everything
is quiet in Port au Prince and Jacmel, the
only ports we touched at, and the people
are apparently attending TO business.
Money ia aaay aud plenty there yet, but II
Che reports have read about the condition
of affairs in the north are true, money will
soon get scarce"
The PriDz Willem brought eight passen-
gers from Port Au Prince. Seven of them
could not speak English, and were
bound for France. Major j. B. Walker, a
commercial traveller, and the one English
speaking passenger, said: THE pretended
battle of Grand Saline, reported here by
the captain of the Harold. did not rise
hardly to the dignity of a skirmish. The
captain of the Harold reported that 800 Of
Hippcly te's men were killed, when in fact
there were only II men there. None OF
them were killed, and only one captured.
He happened TO be a General, so he was
taken to Port Au Prince and paraded
about with a great flourish of trumpets.
That is all there was of the great battle OF
Grand Saline.n

WASHINGTON, March Secretary Fair
child has sent letter to Chairman Mills
in answer TO his request for further infor-
nation as to the general effect the Senate
substitute for the House tariff bill would
have upon the Customs revenue. After
charging that in spite of its declarations in
favor of specific rates, the Senate bill has
in many instances increased high ad va
loren rates, the Secretary says: "If,
therefore, it shall be the policy of the gov
ernment to continue and to sggravate, as is
proposed this merciless system of custom
taxation, II would be better, think, that
the barbsrism be completed by the adop-
ton of specific rates than that the present
carnival OF fraud and deceit shall continue.
If the people are to be forever tortured by
taxation, then call the Cossacks, lay on the
knot, put on the manacles and apply the
thumb screws in sn earnest, orderly and
straightforward way"

The Republican National League,
composed in the main of the wealthy
bencfciaries of the tariff and their
officc-holding agents. has planned a
missionary tour through the South,
in March next, of eight "trainloads'
of delegates. ]
The chief object, it is announced,
will be 'totpresent in the most at
tractive form the economical prin-
ciples of the Republican party
There will be arstudious. avoidance
of any and for this reason, no doubt,
'smany capitalists will be included
in the delegation" There will be
a studious avoidance of any srevival
of unpleasant memories. In other
words, the bloody shirt will be left
behind and an attempt be made to
substitute the cajolery ofcapital and
the temptation of tariff brides for
the old policy of distrust and denun-
citation.
We willreioice to record the move
ment of this propaganda of peace
and prosperity" Anything which
will put an end to the sectional pref
udice and fears, kept alive by selfish
politicians for their own advantage,
will be blessing to the country.
The thorough naturalization of both
parties, and their division upon liv-
ing issues, would be one of tho best
things which could happen to the
politics of the country.
AS for the possible partisan adj
vantage, the Democracy should well
comeethe issue. For every vote
gained at the South by the Repub-
lican propagandists of the doctrine
of a war tariff and surplus spending
forever, the Democrats could gain
two in the West and Northwest.
Once emancipate the Republican
farmers of those sections, and of the
Middle States as well, from all fear
of the "rebel'' bugaboo, and they
would begin to vote for relief from
the burdens which weigh them
down. Propagandism is a game
that two can play-N Y. World.
