DIR. GRIFFIS'S HEAD.
Tilinan Calls for it, But it Doesn't Come
Result Of the Iunatic Asylum Inrcsti-
cation.
+ Special to GreeuYilie News.


COLUMBIA, May 1S.-The expected
result Of the investigation of the State
lunatic asylum came to pass to-day,
Governor Tillman has asked Superin-
tendent Griffin to send in his resigna-
ton.
After the conclusion Of the recent in
vestigation of the legislative committee
and the reply Of the regents and state
ments of DR.. Griffin in his defence a
season of calm interviewed, but on the
Sth instant DR.. Griffin made a lengthy
reply to Governor TiIlman in regard to
the hearing promised him. He said in
that letter that the promise referred to
twas made by you speaking for the
committee as we'll as yourself while l
was before the committee undergoing
examination; and certainly, if given in
good faith, authorized ME to expect
that before the inquiry was concluded
/ should have an occasion rendered me
by the committee and you of presenting
my defense"
He then goes on to compare the op-
portunity really offered him to that ac-
corded victims Of the Spanish inquisi-
ton and says he has no assurance if
the inquiry proposed by the governor
would be heard by the committee or
| that it would reverse its condemnation
even if its error was proved. He char
acteriZes the investigation as carried on
in spirit of fault finding, and in con-
clusion states that be is not willing to
engage Tin such trif1ing procendure
| before such tribunal" The governor
on the 9th replied at length, striving to
make the point that the investigation
| was Of the institution and not Of the
| superintendent, but that it had called
his, the governors attention to appa-
rent faults in management and il was
his duty to act thereon. Receiving nc
reply to this letter Governor Tillman
to-day sent DR.. Griffin the following
communication:
'SIK: l have waited patiently to see
whether you would make any reply tc
my Letter of May 9th or ask for trial
None having been received. l an,
forced to conclude that you do moi
desire such trial. l therefore write tt
ask that you send in your resignation
as superintendent Of the Lunatic Asy
| lum."
Doctor Griffin was seen tonight bu
declined to talk about the matter
further than to say that he should 10
resign and that his reply to Governol
Tillman would be forwarded tomorrow
or next day.

GOVERNOR OF NEBRASKA.
The Partisan Action ofthe State Supreme
Court to be Reviewed by the Supreme
Court OF the United States.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Justice
Brewer, of the United States Supreme
Court, to-day granted the application OF
counsel for Boyd, who was elected
Governor Of Nebraska, for writ of er-
ror to the Supreme Court to test the
questions involved in the decision of
the majority of the Supreme Court oil
Nebraska, which decided that, he was
not an American citizen and therefore
not eligible to the office Of Governor OF
Nebraska,
The Supreme Court meets again on
the 18th instant and it is the intention
of Boyd's counsel 10 move to advance
the case Oh the docket and secure as
speedy hearing as possible. Court ad-
joUrns for its summer recess on the
18th and there is possibility that an
effort will be made to have the case ar
gued on that day or to have the time
fixed on that day for hearing at the
next Session of Court.
Boyd is represented by Ex-Attorney
General Garland and Mr.. Mayer, OF
Washington, and H. D. Esterbrook, of
Nebraska. 1t Vas Boyd's contention
when the case was heard before the
State Supreme Court that he vas a cit
izen by virtue of the action OF his faith
er in taking out naturalization papers,
and also from the fact that he was an
inhabitant of Nebraska at the time the
State was admitted into the Union.

The organization ola State Survivor S
Association in Columbia last week is a
move in the right direction. Such a
move ought to have been made long
ago.
The attendance at the meeting last
week was very good, and the interest
manifested was encouraging. AS we
understand, it is not to be a political
organization in any sense, but its OBJ
iect is to secure complete enrolment
of all the survivors in the State, and to
preserve and perpetuate correct and
true history of the part performed by
the brave men of the South in the
struggle for what they conceived to be
right.
The idea is to get a county assocla-
ton organized in every county, ana
The Herald and News would be glad
to see the survivors in Newberry
County take hold of this matter at
once and perfecta county organization
and cooperate with the State organiza-
ton. Those who took part in the late
war are fast passing away, and they
should be glad of the privilege of form
ing this association, and The Herald
and News stands ready and willing to
aid and cooperate in working up the
organization, and will gladly help IN
any manner in its power.
Let some of the survivors take hold
of this matter and work it up without
further delay.

JUTE RESTORED TO FAVOR.
Mr.. Sigh Says Manufacturers Have Come
to Alliance Terms.
Especial to Charleston World. I

Especial to Charleston World.
COLUMBIA, May 1S.-Rev. J. A.
Sigh, the well-known Alliance man
from Newberry, was in the city to-day
on his way to Orangebure where big
Alliance meeting is to be held to-mor-
row. Mr.. Sigh is on the bagging com
mittee Of the State Alliance, and be
said to The World representative to-
day that the committee had finally de-
cided to use jute bagging altogether,
because the jute men had come to their
prices, and that was all the Alliance
wanted.
Mr.. Sigh said that contract had
been practically made with big jute
firm to supply the South Carolina ALI
ance, but refused to say what firm it
was, as it was an Alliance secret. He
said, however, that the Charleston
Bagging company had made very fav-
orable propositions to the Alliance, and
that the proposition was being consid-
cred. He intimated that the firm
which the Alliance would probably
contract with for the jate bagging was
one outside of The STATE.

4 GREAT LOSS.
DR.. McBryde Will Leave South Carolina
and the University.
1.-THE State. 16th.l

DR.. J. NJ. McBryde, president Of the
South Carolina University, has been
elected to the presidency of the Agri-
cultural College of Virginia, and has
accepted the position.
DR.. McBryde has been in Virginia
for several days, but is expected home
to-day. He will resign the presidency
of the South Carolina University upon
his return, to take effect at the close Of
the present session. He has been con-
nected with the South Carolina Uni
versity for nine years, and president for
eight years, aud only about two weeks
ago was reelected by the board. Since
bis connection with the South Carroll
ma University he has received repeated
offers from other State Universities,
making good inducements for him to
go, but he has preferred to remain with
the college of his native State.
His administration has been emf
nently successful, and his resignation
will be a great loss to the State. The
board will hold meeting in June and
no action will likely be taken in regard
to the resignation before that time.

Death Of Mr.. A. +. Blair.
THE State, 18th

Mr.. 4. F. Blair, of Fairfield, the gen.
tleman who fell from the Laurens arch
Wednesday morning, died at the city
hospital at $50 Wednesday night and
his body was taken to his late home at
Blair's Station, on the Spartanburg
road, yesterday morning.
Everything that human skill could
suggest was done to avert a fatal terni-
nation of his injuries, but to no avail.
Mr.. Blair was gallant soldier in the
late war, going through the whole con-
fct as a member of Kershaw's brigade
and being several times wounded. He
was forty-seven years old and leaves a
wife and several children. Everyone
regrets that anything so sad should
have marred the Centennial festivi-
ties

THE ASYLUM MANAGEMENT.

The State Lunatic Asylum matter
has reached a elimination and on Tues
day a lengthy correspondence was pub
Eshed between Governor Tillman and
Dr.. Pc. Griffin, the superintendent.
The charges against the management
as made public, and the reply OF the
Regents, were published in The Herald
and News.
Now Governor Tillman asks for the
resignation of DR.. Griffin.
The Herald and News does not Know
much of the merits of the case. There
NAV be mismanagement of the affairs
of the asylum, but it does not seem to
ns that the Governor and his commit
tee have been fair in their treatment OF
this matter, either to the Regents or
DIR. Griffin. \ committee was ap-
pointed by the Legislature to lnVestl'
gate this asylum matter. They met
and took evidence in secret from en-
ployeeS OF the asylum "lthouI pelA'1I'
ting DR.. Griffin or the Regents to be
present at the investigation to hear the
evidence against them and to meet the
witnesses face to face, and not only
that, but as we understand it, they
were not heard by this special commit
tee at all. True Gov. Tillman says II
one of his letters that the investigator
bv the committee was Of the instltu
ton and not the superintendent. 1t Il
also true that the Governor now offers
DIR. Griffin the opportunity To suomi
affidavits and evidence in rehuttal, ou
it seems to The Herald and News tha
he should have had the privilege L
meet the witnesses face to face ana Z
have had his hearing before the ful
committee.
Every man is entitled to and shoul(
have justice. In this case we 90 no
believe it has been accorded The asylum

BURGLARS HUNTED DOWN.
Three Members of an Organized Gang
Captured at Lackawanna.

SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 24.-For several
months past a gang of burglars have
robbed post Offices, depots and country
stores promiscuously throughout north
eastern Pennsylvania. Deputy United
States Marshal Barring few days since
spotted five suspicious fellows, and call
ing into service Detectives Matthewson,
Crippen and O'Brien, of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western, Delaware
and Hudson, and Lehigh Valley rail
roads, the men were kept under close
watch. Late Tuesday night they boarded
train on the Bloomsbury railroad, get
ting off at Lackawanna, the officers pro-
ceeding to Duryea, where they left the
train and walked back to Lackawanna.
Soon after reaching that place, and be-
fore they could guard the depot en-
frances, three of the burglars came out.
One of them walked pto where Crippen
was, and, putting down q well filled
he thought was one of the gang, for not
coming In to secure the valuable plunder.
The officer pounced upon the burglar,
but before securing him the latter fired

ROME, Dec. 24.-The pope received the
college of cardinals in state yesterday.
The pontiff looked weary and feeble, and
both in manner and appearance showed
that he was far from being in good
health. In his address to the cardinals
his holiness expressed his sorrow that
the pilgrimages OF workingmen to Rome
had ceased on ACCENT &C recent occS-rr-
rences. The pontiif alluded especially
to the American Catholic pilgrims, whom
he hoped to see in Rome again. His
holiness went on to complain of the in
difference of the powers to the evil of
slavery. The general despondent spirit
of the papal utterances is said to
have made u deep impression on the car
dinals, and that the sueeessiop to the
papacy is being actively cahvassed
among them.

cH1LE's NEW CABINET.
Our Government Evidently Waiting
for tho Change.

LONDON, Dec. 24.-The correspondent
of The Times at Santiago de Chile says
that the entire Chilean cabinet will re-
sign on Saturday, when President Montt
is formally installed in Office, The pres
ident will then appoint new cabinet,
which will better represent the majority
in parliament. 1t is expected that Senior
Barros Luco will be the premier in the
new cabinet.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.-An ominous
silence is maintained in official circles
respecting the news OF Chile. 1t is
everywhere conceded that important
dispatches have been received from Min
lister Egan, but it is impossible to learn
their contents, so close mouthed are the
officials who are in position to know
what they are. Chiles provisional gov
ernment, which still has control of af-
fairs, and is responsible for the events
leading up to the present condition Of
things, has an existence limited to only
two days longer, and it is not believed
that this government, unless forced by
extraordinary events not now foreseen
or anticipated, viii precipitate crisis.
The administration, while not disposed
to rush matters in view of the speedy
change, is closely watching the progress
of events and making preparations to
promptly meet any emergency which
may arise, When the new cabinet Is
announced there may be foreign min
lister who viii pursue a different policy
from that of the present minister, and
with whom satisfactory settlement
may be made without resorting to un-
pleasant measures. But it is only fair
to say that not much hope exists that
the new government will be any more
pacitically inclined than the present one.
The feeling prevails that Chile is in
clined to be fractions, and that it will
be necessary for the United States to ad-
minister " forcible rebuke.
