Senator Hampton Accidentally Shot

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 26 A tele-
gram received here tonight states that
Senator Wade Hampton while out gun
ming on his favorite hunting grounds in
Washington Co., Miss. was accidentally
shot by his son, McDufie Hampton.
The son, it seems, fred towards bis
father and wounded him in the head,
one of the shots striking his eye.
His injuries are not believed to be Sc
rious and is not thought likely that he
will lose his eysight. The accident hap
pened in the same locality where the
Senator, few years ago, lost one Of his
legs.

Mr.. Royall's Scheme.

We have been inclined to doubt whether
Mr.. RoYALL's financial scheme was or
was not practical one. Financial
schemes are prone to work out their own
results, and we would expect Mr.. ROYALS
to do so. However. we have said in an
other article in this days paper, all we de-
sired to say on this subject; and freely
yield the fright of way" at this point to
Max"
To the Editor QfRs DiSpa,ct:
viii you permit one who is not even
tinker TO thank Mr.. Royal tor his sug-
gestion on the currency question rs pub
lished in your issue Of the 18th instantY
He has given the right thought"
Details would have TO be adjusted by
circumstances, but the plan proposed by
him is the proper, permanent, and safe
one.
Add this feature 10 our present national
bank system and we would not fear return
of these periodical pressures in the money
market. Don't let the objection of pa
tt17sal government" have weight.
Surely o government that is so willing
aud anxious 10 assume the care and re-
sponsibihty Of our elective franchises.
a., the force bill--can without distrust be
asked also 10 guard us against financial
distress.
The suggestion OF Mr.. Royal is by far
the most satisfactory yet offered as solu-
ton, not only of present financial embar-
EASEMENT, but as preventive of future
trouble.
A few thinkers like Mr.. Royal at our
national capital would be an advantage.

Halfway Measures-Again.

The Washington Post says that the pro-
position to hold an international silver
conference, suggested in the Presidents
message, is plan which Senator SHERMAN
considers indispensable il there Ia to be q
movement towards the free coinage of
silver. without an international agree
ment Senator SHERMAN thinks that the free
coinage of silver means tho decentralization
of gold.
Mr.. SHERMAN is the champion of the
monometallists. He has never been ready
TO remonetize silver fully. We are not sur
prised, therefore. TO learn that be is in
favor of holding an international silver
convention before putting silver upon its
feet, or the finances of our country upon
both feet. We write in the interest of all
concerned bankers, farmers. and work
ingmen-when We ask for tho full
demonstration of silver in this country
a. preliminary to an international silver
convention. Let us fear not TO put the
matter To the test. Silver will be apt 20
rise nearly up TO par with gold when its
coinage is made free. SO soon as the finan-
cial and other businessmen see this result
Of our legislation-ifs such a result shall fol-
low silver will become as good as gold all
over the commercial world. This is prize
worth Aghting for, and for which we
can afford to risk something. On the
other hand. if the new law fails to
operate as Its friends expect it 70
operate, then the mouths of all the
wiseacre fnanciers will be closed, and
Congress can proceed TO legislate in the
broad light which will have been shed
upon the subject by our experience under
free-ooinage law. When some years age
Congress passed law forbidding the sale
Of gold and silver-that is, as Congress
thought, a law TO prevent the depreciation
of greenbacks and national bank-notes by
selling them for gold and silver coin-that
body discovered at once that it had made
mistake-that its law had had the effect
OF depreciating the paper currency more
than oil the trading in 1t on Wall street
had drepreciated il. Congress. therefore
repealed the law forthwith. Its life ex
tended over but few days.
Let us, therefore, proceed to legislats
boldly on the subject Of the finances. The
country. We repeat. does not need nor ex
poet at our hands any halfway measures
Let US blaze the way for the whole finan
cial world in the matter under considera
tion

We hope there will be largo attendance
OF city and country members on the 22d and

them boldly. A fair in 1891 is demanded
by the best interests of this city, but we

Richmond is making q mighty struggle
for advancement. She is breaking away
from the non-progressive folks who have
too long held sway over her. Young ana
saneuine men arc needed at the front. Our
danger 10 not from too much enterprise
but from too little. The fire OF our ambl-
ton dies out before it is fairly kindled. In
the new year we have got to adopt modern
methods, and the vast expenditure OF talk
about h" our needs" ought to be material
lied. The thing for us TO do is lay out new
streets, set all of our builders TO work on
dwellings, stores, and factories, inaugurate
new businesses, and advertise ourselves. In
this last we continue to be amazingly un-
mindful Of our best interests. A great
fair or exposition will advertise US far and
wide. That Of 1888 was of benefit In
this respect. and almost without exception
those who attended it said it was credlta-
BILE TO the city and State, while the excel
lence of the exhibit caused general aston
ishment. We can do better in 1891. we
have the buildings all ready we have con-
fidence in our capacity to manage such On
enterprise, and what is more, the people
in and out of the State know that II we
will we can make great success.
At the meeting of the 22d let 1t be seen
if we are in earnest. II We are let US pro-

State Laws az 20 Bankruptcies.

For hundreds Of years laws rs TO insol-
vents or bankrupts have had place IN the
codes of various nations. But before the
establishment OF the United States Gov
eminent there had never been duplex OF
dual form Of government such as that
which has resulted from our State govern
ments as affected by our national Govern
ment.
We have had our doubts as 10 whether
the Federal Government had the power
or at least whether it ought TO have the
power-to prescribe any duties whatever
for the State courts. These doubts have
reference not particularly TO bankruptcy
laws, but 10 any attempt on the part of
the Federal Government to make State
officials the servants of Federal officials, or
in any way comfortable by them. If
State Judges salary cannot be taxed by
the United States Govornment--as has
been decided by the Federal courts them
selyes-a State judge ought not 70 have
any duties Of any sort imposed upon him
by that Government.
The Federal Constitution speaks with no
uncertain sound as TO whore resides the
power 10 pass bankrupt law. There can
be no doubt that the national Government
has full control over bankruptcies and
laws concerning bankruptcies. The
words Of that instrument are that the
Congress shall have power 10 establish
uniform laws on the subject of
bankruptcy throughout the United States"
Whether under this broad grant OF power
Congress ought 20 allow the several States
to have any hand in disposing of bank
ruptcy cases is al any rate questionable.
For example. TO recognize the exemption
laws of the several States-that is exempt
whatever these laws exenpt-would be to
frame anything but a uniform law"
There must be discrimination here. The
most effective discrimination would be to
allow to the States neither part not lot in
the matter.
We noticed some time ago the memorial
of the National Convention of the Repre-
sentatives of the Commercial Bodies of the
United States in favor of the passage Of
the ToRREY bankrupt bill. That bill is not
liable TO the objection that II comedies too
much power to the several States. 1t is,
on the contrary, q bill which seems to
promise good results. The memorialists
claim that under its operation honest in
solvents will be discharged and. dishonest
ones punished; that the giving and re-
ceiving of preferences will be prevented.
These points are sufficient of themselves
10 constitute good law on the subject of
bankruptcies. The practice of allowing
bankrupts to prefer their favorite creditors
has had a great deal to do with the growing
demand for the enactment of national
law concerning insolvents. But bankrupt
laws are apt TO be unpopular and short
lived. So Congress ought TO examine care
fully the details of the ToRBEY or any other
bill which may come before the body for
ita action therpuuCn

How Mr.. ii. X. Eilyson Started Tobacco
Reports
S0uthern Tobacco Journal

It has been years ago since we came into
more intimate contact with the late la
mented III. X. Ellyson. The Dispatch
needed regular tobacco reports Of our mar
ket. Mr.. Ellyson insisted that they were
needed and should be had. II was under
his perseverance that we were led by
friends, and encouraged by himself, to
make weekly, then semi weekly. and after
wards, as now, daily reports Of our tobacco
market for the Dispatch. Mr.. Ellyson's
manner in correction and occasional praise
gave US courage to keep up the work and
his words Of praise of the last January LIST
report linger in our ears as pleasant rem
iniscence. He pronounced the report ex-
ceilent." 1t was thus that other journals
took up like work and the tobacco trade
of Richmond was advertised as il never
had been before.
