A Little BIT of Inside History.


Representative Miller, the colored nan
from the Seventh South Carolina district.
who was given Col Elliott's seat in the
House the other day with such indecent
haste, and in the fac1 of the fact that be did
Tot receive as many votes as Col Elliott by
over !, 800, has been making himself quite
conspicuous in Washington. Il, has intro
duced into congress a bill appropriating
g., 900, 900 for homo for INDECENT e1-slaves
and also a bill appropriating s25O,00 for a
monument at Charleston, s. c.. in memory
of colored soldiers who were
killed in the civil war. few
nights ago he made a speech to the colored
people of Washington, in which he glori-
fled himself aud other colored men of South
Carolina. EvI IDENTIFY he is aiming to make
himself solid with the colored voters of the
Seventh district with view TO a re-elec-
ton.
There is no doubt, however. that Col.
Elliot. will be re-elec ed. A great many
of the co.ored voters will support him, be-
cause they have confidence in him. and it
is a notorious fact that large number OF
the colored people of the district do not
like Miller and cannot be induced to sup
port him.
There is a story afoat that the re-
publIcans Of the House did not intend 20 IN.
seat Col Elliott They k new that he had
been elected in fair election, and, besides,
he had the influence and support of Senator
Don Cameron. The story goes that last fall
Senator Cameron was in Col Elllott's dis
trict huntingg aud was his guest. They
became great friends Senator Cameron
had chance to inquire into the election at
which Col. Elliott aud Miller were opponents,
and he improved it. He was thoroughly
satisfied that the election was fair one in
every respect, and that Col. Elliott had re-
ceived a clear majority. He said to Col.
Elliott that he need not feel uneasy about
Miller's efforts to GUST him from his seat
that he would use his influence to prevent
Miller's contest from being successful.
1t looks very much as if the story we're
true, and that Senator Cameron kept his
word. The Miller Elliott contest ID election
case was the last one acted upon, and there
are good reasons for thinking that it was
not the purpose of the republicans to take it
up, and that they would not have done so
was the filibustering of the democrats in
the Venable-Laugston case, aud the
second was the postponement of
the force bill through the eff
forts of Senator Quay, the colleag ne
of Senator Cameron. 1t was known that
Senator Cameron sympathized with Senator
Quay's movement to postpone that bill, and
that fact hurt his influence with the repub-
licans Of the House. However, it is proba-
BILE that he would have succeeded in keep
ing Col. Elliott in his seat had not the
Miller-Elliott contest been called up in a
moment OF extraordinary excitement and
acted upon so quickly that there was no
time for Senator Cameron to make an extra
effort in Col. Elliott's behalf. But the senator
may have a chance at some future time to
assist his friend, since Col. Elliott is a can
didate for reelection.

Republican papers are extracting good
deal of gleeful satisfaction from a para
graph that recently appeared in the London
Ironn.omgsrS' Journal, stating that "a
considerable amount of interest is directed
toward our staple industry just now, owing
to the drastic Mckinley tariff bill which
has managed to pass the Senate and has
been sent down to the House of Representa-
tives. The effect of the measure upon the
cutlery trade can not be other than
baneful, and complete deadlock
may eusue." Commenting upon this
the New York Press calls it putting ''the
tax on the other fellow" by which 1t at
tempts to imply the old republican sophis-
tical allegation that tariff is not tax. Yet
we could all buy our dollar pen knives for
sixty cents if we didn't have that import
duty to pay on them. And the only way the
tariff Injuries the Sheffield manufacturers is
that when we break our knives we can't
afford to buy new ones because they cost
too much, and make us feel disposed to
throw the handles at the protectionists So
the makers don't sell SO many

Most old-time residents of Mississippi have
known or at least heard of Judge Thrasher of
Port Gibson, says an exchange, who died a
number of years ago. He was al eccentric old
man, strong in his dislikes and prejudices, and
much given to taking revenge for real or fan
cied Sights and injuries. A young member of
Claiborne county bar named Drake. whom the
Judge secretly disliked, had brought an action
for client, to sustain which he relied entirely
upon the testimony of the old gentleman
Judge Thrasher," said Drake when the
cause had been called for triJl and the witness

piled, but had not talked two minutes in his
peculiar drawing tone before it became appa-
rent to everybody that the plaintiff had no
cause of action; indeed. the testimony was man
if1stly in favor of the defendant.

The Census & Failure.

It seems q be the very general impression
that the census is failure. Scarcely any
where is il considered reliable. New York
is having her census taken by her police
men. because she is satisfied that she has at
least 90, 900 more people than SIpt- Por-
| teris census gives her. Ia this state the
census shows a decrease in toe popula-
tiol in good many Of the COUNTIES. 1t Is
very doubtful IL there is a single county
which has less population than it had ten
years ago. No farms are bei1g abandoned
in Georgia, and it takes as many lablrsrs
to cultivate them as it ever did. And there
is no emigration from Georgia worth mel
/ tioning. Ga the contrary, there is very
considerable immigration, and has bsel for
years. It is nonsense, therefore, to assert
that there are many counties that are less
| p1pulous than they were when the last cen
sus was taken.
OF course Supt Porter is not wholly to
blame for the failure of the census. He
could not get competsn men in every in
stance, but be could have done much better
than he has. The fact is he is not com petent
for the work intrusted TO him. The worries
of the census office have made him sick, and
he is now suffering from nervous prostra-
ton. His condition is sGch that he is not
able TO attend to the duties of his office and
has gone to Europe. He is taking a sea
voyage in search of health.
1t is not easy to understand way the
President appointed him superintendent of
the census. He has no qualifications for the
position, aud no experience in the kind Of
work required of him. He was succeeding
very well as the Editor of little high tariff
organ in New York, known as the Press,
which is said to be owned by the league of
American trusts. Perhaps this league is
the power that had him appointed supsrin-
tendent Of the census. If it is, it expected
him TO serve the trusts. The Republican
party is extremely partial to trusts, and
the President doubtless raised no objection
when they insisted that the taking of the
census should be intrusted to Mr. Porter.
A league Of trusts, however, should never
have been permitted to exercise controlling
Influence in the taking of the census. A cen
sus is needed that is as near correct as it is
possible to make it, because upon it the ap-
portionmsnt of representatives in congress
is based, and the election of the President
largely depends. There is a widespread be-
lief that the census is not only a partisan
one, but is SO far from the truth that very
little confidence is felt in it. Aud yet it is
to be the basis of all sorts of calculations
for the next ten years. If the census of
New York is found to be as defective as it
is believed to be, il is a question whether it
would not be advisable for congress to
order another census Of the whole country
to be taken.

A Ballot Box Rafnrnn-

Voters in this county noted and doubtless
appreciated the changes in the arrange
ment of the ballot boxes in this county at
the election yesterday. At previous cleo
tions, state, county and municipal, the vot-
ing was done in the center of the court
house, at the intersection of the corridors.
1t was not difficult matter for interested
parties to block up the entrances and delay
the voting when they saw that many voters
not in sympathy with them were seeking q
chance to vote. And. as a matter of fact,
the way to the ballot boxes was often
unnecessary INSTRUCTED, and many voters,
whose business demanded their attention.
unable to wait for an opportunity to reach
the ballot boxes, did not vote at all. They
preferred not to vote rather than spend two
or three hours at the polls. OF course, tho
strikers and repsaters staid at the polls all
day, and SO managed as to carry out their
| schemes successfully.
The increase in the number of the ballot
boxes from four to six, and the placing of
them at the winnows opening on the streets,
thus keeping the judges and clerks Of the
| election entirely free from intrusion,
| or interference from outsiders, is GER
| tainly decided improvement, and one that
will be productive of good results 1t can
not De otherwise than that this change in
the arrangement of the ballot boxes will be
regarded as reform, aud approved by all
| who desire fair and free elections

still Opposed to Tillman.

Judge A. G. Haskall, of Columbia, S. c.,
In a letter TO the Charleston Netos and
Courier, says that he will not vote for Mr..
Tilman, notwithstanding the fact that Till
man was nominated by the Democratic par
ty. and he says he does not think any other
democrat ought to vote for him. He be-
lieves that an opposition ticket ought to be
nominated, composed, of course, of demo
Gratis, in order to emphasize democratic
disapproval of Tillman methods.
1t is quite certain that Judge Haskell will
republicans, and it is not prob able that
such nomination will be offered him. 1t
was thought some days ago that the repub-
licans would put ticket IN the field com
posed of leading democrats who are anti
Tillmanites, but that scheme seems to have
fallen through.
1t is safe to say that the Tillman ticket
will have no opposition. Tillman will be-
South Carolina's next governor and Till
NANTES will dominate the state And it
would not be surprising if they should m an
age public affairs much more wisely than
they are expected to. Their views will I'M
dergo great change when they get into
power They will suddenly become very
conservative, and will be ready with ex-
cuses for not doing all they have promised
OF course the methods by which they get
on top are to be condemned, but now that
they are on top they will sing different
tune. There is no reason at present to ap-
prehend any harm to the state from them.
