the debate.
A PRICE LIST TO POOL CONSUMERS.

PRICE LIST TO POOL CONSUMERS.
Mr.. Stockbridge made an explanation as
TO the statement made by Mr.. Vest on sew
eral occasions in regard to American agri-
cultural implements being sold in Central
and South America at less prices than in
the United States. The explanation was that
the prices In an American advertising sheet
from which Mr.. Vest had read were
prices that were intended to be seen by the
consumer, and from which discount of so
per cent. was allowed to the wholesale
dealer, whereas the prices in the Spanish
journal were the actual wholesale prices.
GRAY THOUGHT 1T REHARKABLE.
MIR. Gray commented upon the explana-
tion as showing the remarkable fact that
the manufacturers of agricultural imple-
ments could afford to sell TO a wholesale
dealer at 80 per cent below the price
which consumers had TO pay and still make
profit. lRemarks Of "Oh, mop from the
republican selators.l So that plow, he said
for which the consumer paid SlS, sold to
the wholesale dealer at 49, and It was pre-
sumed that at that price the manufacturers
made profit.
This discussion had all proceeded without
any amendments pending. Several were
then offered on the democratic side, and all
were defeated.
Having reached the paragraph as to lead
ore Mr.. Vest suggested that he desired to
discuss that question, and that it was time
to stop for the day.
The Senate, after disposing Of nine pages
of the bill, proceeded to executive business
and adjourned.

CARoLrNA's RICE CROP.

An Early Harvest and Unprecedented
Yield Promised.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Aug 22-News has
been received here from Georgetown of the
almost unprecedented good condition of the
rice crop in the upper Pedee section. One
planter, r. E. Frazer, commenced harvest.
ing on Friday last 70-acre field. The
writer Of the letter, an experienced planter,
says he has no recollection of any rice ever
being cut in that section so early as this.
He thinks that harvesting will generally
commence on or before Aug. 25. The news
from the rice fields lower down the
coast is equally cheering. Everything
points to an unprecedented rice crop In
South Carolina.

RAUM'S LOANS.
The whitewashing Committee Cuts
OF Cooper's Plans


WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Representativ
Cooper was on hand to conduct the investi
CATION of Pension Commissioner Raum to-
day, and directed his efforts 10 tracing what
became of the money Commissioner Raum
had borrowed on Mr.. Lemons endorsement.
His object, be stated, was to show that
Commissioner Raum was insolvent when
he borrowed. and that Mr.. Lemon was
aware of it This, he argued. would
Indicate corruption of purpose on the
part of both borrower and lender. Mr..
Cooper sought to ascertain what business
venture Commissioner Raum was engaged
in, but, after developing the fact that he
held stock in two mining companies, the
committee cut off this line of inquiry, al
though Mr.. Cooper protested that he wished
to impeach the witnesses jadg ment as to
the value of mining and other stock enter
prises. The committee declined to take
testimony on the question of Commissioner
Raum's solvency OF business sagacity.
STOCK BOOK PRODUCED.
Commissioner Raum produced a stock
book and furnished a list Of the stock
holders, which WAS verified by the
committee. He testified that it con-
tained the name of no employe in the
pension Office except his own and that
no stock was ever offered to any employe
Mr.. Cooper declared that the proceeding
was ec pdrte, and that it was beneath the
dignity Of member of congress or repu-
table attorney TO participate in such an
investigation, He has not been permitted
to look at the stock book. The committee
offered to allow him to inspect the verified
list, but he refused to do 30 unless he could
obtain access to the books themselves, 80 the
committee adjourned to meet Sept. /.

The Revenge of Four Negroes Costs
Them Their LIVES.
DANvILLE, VA, Aug. 22.-In October
last, warehouse at Rocky Mount, Franklin
county. was fired by incendiaries and
burned to the ground, together with several
buildings. There was strong reason to
believe that the building was fired by
negroes, because the owners refused
to let Gen. Malone speak there,
and afterward allowed a democratic
speaker to occupy it. Four negroes-George
Early, Byrd Woods William Brown and
Mamie Woods-were arrested on suspicion,
tried and convicted and sentenced to be
hanged. George Early and Byrd Woods
were executed at Rocky Mount to-day, and
the others will be executed Sept. 10.

After arguing the question at length,
and quoting and analyzing all the pro-
visions of the United States constitution
bearing upon the matter of suffrage, the
committee reaches the conclusion that
whatever may have been the effect
of the action of the southern
states, denominated either secession
or rebellion, and of the reconstruction acts
viewed as judicial or political questions, ,and
without enumerating the diverse opinions on
these important questions, we are of the
opinion that the readmission of this state Of
the union fully and forever settled the
status of the states thus readmitted, aud
that congress thereby lost control
or jurisdiction over this matter, and the
states thus readmitted into the union be-
came at once ipSo facto under the constitu-
tion reinvested with all the sovereign pow
ers possessed by any and all the other states.
No action was taken on the report.
After disposing of routine business the
convention adjourned till Monday.
