a Hard.Headed Negro.

A Birmingham, Ala, dispatch says :
"Big Six" a negro pugilist of considera.
BILE local reputation, to win a wager OF
five dollars is said to have, a few days
ago, butted On OK 10 death. The OK was
8 years old and we'll grown. When their
heads came together the noise could be-
heard block away. Eonr Emes in rapid
succession the colored giants head struck
the OK squarely in the forehead With ter
rife force. Then ths anima began e
reel and stagger, and. gathering himaelf
for final plunge, "Big Six" drew back
full arms length and ran his head
against that ofthe OK with the force of z
battering ram. The animal fell to the
ground, and in FIVE minutes was dead.
There was small lump on "Big
SKIS" head, but he said he felt no pain
whatever. "Big Six" is about five feet
ten inches high, and weighs two hundred
and forty pounds. On his arms, shoul.

great black knots. He is a giant in

beer he will break a piece of scantling
over his head, and for half a dollar will
butt the head out of an empty beer keg.
For FIVE years "Big Six" has met and
defeated all pugilists who came here and
cared to try their powers on him. No
negro can be found in this section WHO
will face him. Probably the best fight
of his life was when he knocked out
Mervine Thompson, of Cleveland, Ohio,
in three rounds in a glove contest at the

"Big Six" was recently offered two
hundred dollars to 60 TO Louisville and
face Peter Jackson for four rounds, but
he refused. He works as common
laborer at the brewery. He WAS for a

brutal. Ifa mule or horse angered

Home Matters in Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Representa-
in the debate yesterday in the House
growing out of the proposition to increase
the salaries of the examiners in the patent
Office. He only had ten minutes in
which to express his views in opposition,
but in his characteristic style he pounded
some stubborn facts into the majority. lie
denounced the existing patent system as O
fraud upon simple minded inventors, and
declared that none of the patents now
issued are worth the paper they are writ
ten upon unless they are supported by
decision of the Courts. Alleged geniuses
can get patent for anything providing
they pay the fees, and thus thousands of
worthless inventions are patented each
year. His appeal had no effect, as was
also The case with similar protests from
other Democratic economists, as the Re
publican majority had deereed that the
increase should be made.
Judge Cothran and MIR. Tillman pre-
sented petitions from their constituents in
favor of the bill proposing to establish the
Alliance Sub Treasury system, but Judge
Cothran Is opposed to the bill.
Collector Webster expects to leave for
home to morrow. He denies that he is on
record as having said that it would not do
to appoint q colored man postmaster at
Orangeburg. He says he is too much of q
politician to make any such statement,
and be would never commit such an ex.
preston to writing so that it could be
used against him by his political enemies.
Referring to the prospects Of electing
Republican Congressmen to succeed
Democrats, Webster said there may be
occasion for contests in several of the
districts. He did not intimate in which
districts the contests will be made, but he
said enongh to create the impression that
in view of the success that has attended
contestants in the present Congress there
will be several South Carolina Repub!i.

There are two opinions held as to what
will be best for the agricultural interests
of the country. One Of those opinions is
held by the men who are farmers and
who are vitality interested in having the
farmers become independent, and be ele
waited mentally, socially and morally.
The other and opposite opinion is held by
that class who believe it is to their own
interest to have che farmers remain de-
pendent and the absolute slaves of the
moneyed class. The first opinion is held
by that class who follow the Divine in
junction, "In the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread all the days Of thy life"
In other words, they fiye by labor. The
second opinion is held By that class who
eat bread by the sweat of other mems
brows, and lfve off of labor and not by
i4bor. AAianceNen will have no trouble
in deciding to which opinion they can
safely listen, and the suggestions of which
class they can SAFELY follow.-6oahcrn

SpARTANBURG, April 15.-An unusual
case Of cruelty to children is reported in
this county not far from Campobello.
John Young, white man, had FIVE
motherless children. After the death of
his wife he lived with his own mother.
Instigated by his mother he whipped his
children numerically. They could be
heard screaming day and night. The
relatives of his dead wife swore out q
warrant for him and his mother. Young
submitted to arrest very tamely, but
when the constable went for the old wo-
man she knocked him out with her fist on
the first round. She then picked up
stick and defed the officer. The case
came up before Squire Dill, noted for
compromising and keeping peace in the
neighborhood, and a settlement was eff
fected, by which Young gave up all his
children to his relatives. This is deci-
dcdly better for them, for now they will
receive kind and humane treatment.

Partisan Legislation.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The Repub-
licans of the Senate are preparing for the
enactment of vicious legislation.
Senator "Billy" Chandler took the first
step on Wednesday. he introduced q
resolution to wipe out senatorial courte.
sy." 1t provides for call of the previous
question, and gives to the president of the
Senate the authority to count quorum.
In short, the resolution is intended to
limit debate in much the same manner as
is done in the House BY special orders,
which, in connection with the provision
for counting a quorum, absolutely strips
the minority of any power to successfully
fllibuster. It's effects will be to wipe out
all the old senatorial courtesy idea which
has operated in the direction of delaying
business in the upper house.
For the past hundred years the senate
has been operating under the old ordinary
debating society rules. Under them q
vote cannot be taken on any measure as
long as there is senator who wants to be
heard on the subject. In other words,
without unanimous consent, no measure
could be voted on. These rules have been
occasionally used by the minority to kill
measures when they could not do it by a
vote.
Now, as to the cause of their introduc.
tion at present. 1t has been sub rosa
gossip for some time chat if the Republic
cans attempted to pass national election
law, or the McComas anti.gerrymandering
bill, the Democrats have resolved that
they would use the privileges accorded
them under the rules to talk these meas
ures to death. To do this it might be
necessary TO talk dav and night for 8 very
