THE CANTwELL CASE.
The Ex-Supervisor for Charleston Will Get
Salary Although Removed by the
Governor.
1The State, 10th,

Here is pretty howdy-do! And the
laugh is on the Administration. Ac-
cording to the decision OF the Supreme
Court rendered last Friday, VIM. P
Cantwell, the eX-supervisor of Charles
ton County, is entitled to his salary
from the time Governor Tillman re-
moved him until the time when the
Senate confirmed the Governors ac-
ton.
When the true effect of the sugges-
ton of Attorney Smythe for Mr.. Can't
we'll, which was accepted by Chief JUS
tice McIver and incorporated in his
decision, dawled upon several officials
over in the northwest corner OF the cap
itol yesterday there was gnashing of
teeth.
But there was no lodging the fact.
Judge Wallace had decided that the
Governor could not remove except by
and with the consent Of the Senate, and
the following portion of Justice Nc
Iver's opinion is explicit as stating that
Mr.. Cantwell is entitled to his salary
up to the time the Senate did confirm
the removal:
"a suggestion was also filed by order
and permission of the court by counsel
for the respondent bringing to the at
ton of this court the fact that since the
taking and docketing Of the appeal
herein, to-wit, on the 25th of November
A. D. 1891, the petitioner, VIM. ?. Can't
we'll, had been removed from the office
of supervisor of Charleston County by
and with the consent of the Senate,
and was, therefore. since that date, no
longer supervisor Of Charleston County,
they are entitled to the relief original
~ demanded by him by this proceed
ing"
1t is whispered that an attempt may
be made to reopen the case and hear it
on its merits, but it is doubtful if this
would be successful. 1t is understood
that the Comptroller will be instructed
to hold his warrants fcr Mr.. Cantwell's
salary, but the attorney general is away
and any plan Of procedure is as yet ln-
definite.
Governor Tiilman, when be realized
it, said: "Well, it comes from having
some of your family away"
This time, however, the Charleston
lawyers seem to have been one too
many for the family"

We cannot understand why the
News and Courier should ue contin-
ualiy making war on Speaker Crisp.
He was not the proper man, in the es-
timation Of the News and Courier, for
Speaker, bat a majority Of his Demo
>cratic colleagues in Congress did not
agree with the News aud Courier and
Mr.. Crisp was elected. We fail utterly
r. to see what good can come from the
course Of the News and Courier, while
ON the other hand if it has any infiu-
ence at all it will tend to make discord
in the Democratic ranks. Whatever
objections our cotemporary had to Mr..
Crisp should cease after his election.
However, when the next Speaker is
elected The Herald and News will see
to it and endeavor to get the members
1of Congress to consult the News and
sCourier on the question before they
&ast their votes.

VERY OEEER.

In the Spartanburg County Alliance
on last Friday "a resolution was Of
fered requesting Alliancemen who are
unable to pay their debts to make hon
orable arrangements with their cred
itors so as to have a solid basis of
credit. The resolution also stated that
the Alliance could not depend upon
demagogues and politicians to restore
credit and give relief; so the CORE
spondent Of the Greenville News
writes. The correspondent adds that
a number of those present objected
strenuously to the resolution, and es-
pecially the latter part, as it was
thought to be political stroke and
lick at the present administration.
Well this is very queer indeed. There
should certainly be 70 objection on the
part of any man who intends to pay
his debts to make an honorable ar
raugement for the same, when he is
unable to pay. Every man who owes
a debt should do the best be can to
pay it, and if he can't pay it come up
like man and make the best arrange
ment he can. In that way confidence
can be restored and those who have
money will be willing to let it, and to
indulge those who have it not, and
need it most. But we are satisfied that
it was not this part of the resolution
that the members objected to.
But it is equally queer that the other
portion should be objected to-, even by
friends of the administration. It is
certainly true that the country cannot
expect much help from demagogues
and politicians. Almost any man will
admit that. If the resolution should
be considered lick at the administra-
tio1 it would be an admission that the
administration was composed of dem
agogues and politicians, otherwise it
would not be applicable to them. So
it is all very queer any way you look
at it. 1t is a great pity that politics,
and factional politics, has to be injected
into almost every meeting.
But the resolutions were laid upon
the table.

DIVIDING THE SPOILS.
Congressmen tombstone and Brawley in
Bad Luck-Sot Ercugh appointments
to Go Around.
Especial to News and Courier. |


WASHINGTON, January 7.--Luck
was against Congressman Brawley and
Johnstone to-day and they will have
no part of the patronage allotted the
South Carolina delegation under the
new administration of the House. Five
places, an assistant journal clerk, u
messenger, folder, Il laborer in the
folding room and page, were placed
at the disposal Of the delegation, and
they were invited to make their nomi-
nations in their own way. Several at
tempts were made to hold meeting
before the Christmas holidays, but it
was postponed until to-day.
All Of the members. excepting Mr..
Stackhouse, who is absent on account
of Sickness, met in conference to decide
what disposition should be made Of the
"spoils" In the drawing Messrs.
Hemphill, Tillman. Elliot, Shell and
Stackhouse each drew prize, and
Messrs. Brawley and Johnstone drew
blanks. There were numerous appli-
cants for each position, and there is
more or less disappointment among
those who are left out in the cold. II
was agreed that the members who
drew the privilege of naming the cam
didates should have the endorsement
of the entire delegation, so as to divide
the responsibility for the selection to be
made. The persons to whom the places
will be offered are to be notified before
the names are announced publicly.
Mr.. BraWley laughs at his i'll luck
and says he is sorry for the Charleston
ians whom he had hoped to provide
for. He will cheerfully endorse the more
fortunate applicants. Messrs. Hemp
bill and Tiilman have. in addition to
their share,of to days "sp ,ils," the ap-
pointment of clerk to their respective
committees. Mr.. rillman will prnba-
bly, appoint his son, as nc wants clerk
who enjoys his confidence. Mr.. Hemp
hill has invited one of his constituents
to accept the cierkship Of the COM
mittee on the District Of Culum-
bia, which is an annual appoint
mert worth So 0O0.
SHE'LL GETS AN EXTRA SLICE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Congress-
man Shell to-day designated T. Brooks
Towues, of Grpenville, for .app,int-
ment in the folding room Of the House
Of Representatives. This is the first
slice of the patronage which was allot-
ted to the South Carolina delegation.
Mr.. Shell has also secured the appoint
ment of Mrs. Capers, of Columbia, to a
position in the agricultural depart
ment. He is NOT slow in ascertaining
his influence on the agricultural COM
mittee.
CoAyr rs*manG ohnStone has final
ly induced the Postmaster General to
re-pstabIish the postoffire at Commerce,
in Oconei County, with Mrs. Susan n.
Hunsing as postmistress. There was
considerable opposition from certain
parties to the re-establshment of the
office, but Mr. Johnstone's perseverance
triumphed and his request was
granted.

At the last term of the circuit court

At the last term of the circuit court
for York County Judge T. B. Fraser
made decision of great Importance to
employers and laborers. One James
Presley had entered into a verbal ag-
ricultural contract, and for breach of
its conditions had been prosecuted in a
trial justice court, convicted and SEN
fenced to pay fine or 60 to Jail. He
appealed. The State made a plain
case against him, but Judge Fraser
held that as the contract was not in
writing Presley could not be punished,
and set him free. Employers who
wish to hold laborers to the letter of
the law should enter into written con-
tracts executed in the presence Of two
or more witnesses. EX.

Mr.. Livingstone of Georgia, has in
troduced billin Congress to appointa a
committee to inquire into the fnan-
cial condition of the country, and also
to ascertain the circulation of the
money, or rather the amount of the
circulating medium. This is a move
in the right direction.
We ought to have something def
mite on this question. The circulating
medium has been put down at any
where from S. to $50 per capita. The
Secretary of the Treasury says it is
about S24.50. We hope Mr.. Living

facts and that this question will be

Removal of the State Exchange.
CGreenvilie News, 12th.]

Col. D. P. Duncan, of Union, who
was elected business manager of the
State Alliance exchange on the resigna-
ton of the Hon. n. L. Donaldson, and
J. a. Sligh, Of Newberry, one of the
directors of the exchange, are in the
city rrarGing for its removal to Co.
lumbia, in accordance,with the instruc-
tions Of the directors The exchange
was TO have been moved on January
lst, but the change was delayed for
some reason, and Mr.. Donaldson has
managed affairs meantime. The re-
moval will be made in a few days.
Manager Donaldson has successfully
conducted the exchange since it was
established and his retirement will be
regretted by the alliance members.
Had the exchange been left here he
would have continued in charge of it,
but he does lot desire to leave Green
vile and preferred to resign.

THE CANTWELL CASE.

When the Cantwell supervisor case
came up in the Supreme Court last
week the case was dismissed because
the Attorney General had not COM
piled with the rules of court and filed
his points and authorities as required.
In the meantime, however, the Senate
had consented to the removal OF Mr..
Cantwell, and there was therefore no
practical case before the court and it
could not deal iu speculative questions.
The attorneys for Cantwell roiucided
in this view, although they were pre-
pared to argue the case on its merits.
But the funny part Of the whole
matter Is that the order dismissing the
case provides for the pay of Mr.. Can't
well up to the time Of his removal by
the Senate.
Judge Wallace's decision stands as
good law. This, it will be remembered,
is the case that Governor Tillman crit
icised Judge Wallace for in bis mes
sage to the Legislature.
Since the Governor has learned that
Mr.. Cantwell is TO be paid he says the
case will probably have t. be reopened.
The questson is where were the States
attorneys when the case was heard.
This fact seems not to have come to
them until some time after the decision
was fled TheGreenville News accounts
for the fact in this wise, "Great bodies
proverbially move slowly and that
fact may explain the sluggish opera
tiops of the intellects of our executive
and ex-executive officials"
