The friends of the Geary anti-Chinese
bill are said to cherish some hope of get
ting that measure through the Senate, on
the strength of the cry that it is de-
manded by the labor organizations.
That cry is, we believe, a false pretence.
Undoubtedly the sandlotters of the
Pacific coast want the bill passed, but
these sandlotters are for the most part
not laborers. but loafers. The laboring
men, we believe, are content with the
present restrictive measure. There
woul be no real gain to them in this new
measure. But it would undoubtedly put
an end to our trade with China, lead to
the expulsion and ruin of every American
doing business there, break up all our
missionary establishments in that coun-
try and tarnish that national honor of
ours which while ago we held so dear
that we proposed to send fleet of ships
and an army to punish South American
State to vindicate it. We know that this
is a year when demagogic appeals are
likely to be more effective than usual,
but we not believe that majority of the
Senate can be cajoled or frightened by
them into bringing these evils and this
disgrace upon the country.

THE COLLAPSE OF "A BOOM.

The Hon. David Bennett Hills Presi-
went up like a skyrocket is now engaged
in the humiliating performance of COM
ing down like stick. Never in SO short
time has there been SO complete a
collapse of a campaign for the highest
Office in the land. There are still to be
found throughout the country few
shouters in his behalf but their shouting
is becoming more spiritless every day,
and the time is not far distant when it
will cease altogether. The causes of the
forlorn pFedicament in which the Hill
boom today finds itself are not far to
seek. 1t is not necessary to look farther
than the character and performances Of
Hill himself. The great majority Of the
American people, irrespective of politics
do not want to see demagogue in the
White House, and have little patience
with man who seeks to obtain the Presi-
dental office by such shameless methods
as Hill has been employing. High char
acter and positive opinions on the ques-
tions of the hour are yet, in the view of
the great majority of the American
people. indispensable qualifications to a
man who aspires to the highest office in
the land. Even the Democratic party is
not yet so permeated with the spirit of
its baser elements as to be willing to
accept as its candidate for the
Presidency a man who conceals his
opinions or the lack of them by
reiterating parrot-like, IT am a
Democrat. Hills method of persu-
ing the Presidential Office has been OF
the 'speanut" order. He has worked for
it just as small beer politician would
work for the nomination for alderman in
some of the lowest wards of New York.
His campaign has been series of little
tricks-all of them disreputable and
many of them positively dishonest.
Having succeeded frequently in New
York by this sort of tactics, he appears
to have conceived the idea that he could
successfully practice the same arts all
over the United States-that he could go
on stealing delegates all oyer the country
as he stole them in New York. We
dolbt if even now he has awakened from
this de1usion, and in all probability he
is still laying his wires TO capture State
delegations in the way that be carried
New York. But though he may still be
laboring under the delnsion that he is a
promising candidate for the Presidential
nomination there are plenty Of signs that

the party, and can be relied upon to use
his influence to promote it.

ABBEvILLE. GA, Jan. 1s.-John Daisy,
one Of the best citizens Of Wilcox county,
died atthe residence Of his father -in-law.
Judge Stephen Bowen. in Abbeville Friday,
and was buried in Pine View cemetery Sat
urday. Deceased was afflicted with
consumption and was confined to his bed
for several months before death relieved
him Of his sufferings. Mr.. Daisy was a
man OF many noble qualities, and is
mOurned By large circle Of relatives aud
friends.
Tray Johnson died at bis resi-
dence, near Cedar Creek, Saturday
morning, Of dropsy Of the heart. He
was the first sheriff Of Wilcox county, and
has subsequently, held other offices of trust
and responsibility, all # which he filed
creditably. He was in his o0th year. He
left eight children. many grandchildren and
hosts OF friends TO lament his death.
Abbeyille Is improving slowly, but stead
lily and sOlidly. Within the past month
three handsome brick stores have been COM
pleted, and the material is being placed on
the ground for a handsome brick Methodist
church. The edifce will cost several thou
sand dollars, aud when finished will be
very attractive. An elegant brick
Masonic lodge is nearing COM
pletion and other handsome structures are
in completion. The farmers of this section
are intelligent and thrifty, and are almost
unanimous In their determination to re-
trieve the errors Of the past by cultivating
food crops, fruits and vegetables for the
future, instead OF pursuing the suicidal
course Of planting heavy cotton crops.
The Abbeville and Waycross railroad,
running from Abbeville into Irwin county,
a distance Of twenty miles, has just paid off
all its indebtedness, which amounted to
many thousand dollars, and is now abso-
lutely free from embarrassing incum-
brances This information is supplied me
by S. T. Lasseter, superintendent Of the
road. The Abbeville and Waycross road
has been an important factor in the recent
growth. and will be more potent one in
shaping the future Of Abbeville. It is I'M
derstood that work will be resumed in ex-
tending the road at an early day.

RULES OF THE HOUSE.

A Belief That the Code Will Be Sub
mitted on Thursday.
WASHINGTON Jan. notwithstanding
the illness OF the speaker he has held
number of conferences with democratic
members Of the committee on rules with
view Of framing a code of rules for the
government of the House. The progress
has been satisfactory, and it is thought by
members Of the committee that report
can be made this week, probably not later
than Thursday. The report will be made.
even though the speaker is not we'll enough
to preside over the deliberations of the
House during Its consideration.
THE REQUISITE FOR QUORUM.
Though nothing has been definitely and
formally settled, it can now be stated that
the new code of rules to be reported by the
committee will not continue the practice
begun under Speaker Reed, by which 100
was constituted a quorum Of the House
when in committee of the whole. There were
some Of the members Of the democratic side
who thought that in view of the fact that
the action in committee of the whole was
only OF an advisory nature, not final and
subject always to revision by the House
itself, there was no objection to limiting to
100 the number Of members constituting
the quorum necessary to do business. After
full consideration, however, the majority Of
the rules committee have decided not to
recommend it, but to adhere to the practice
In vogue prior to. the Fifty-frst congress.

RIGHTS OF IMMIGRANTS.

An Important Decision by the Supreme
Court.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-An opinion of
importance in its construction Of the immi-
grafton laws was rendered in the United
States supreme court to-day in the case Of
Nichimura Ekin, appellant, VS.. the United
States. Nickimura Ekin is a Japanese
woman to whom entry into the United
States was refused by the immigration Off
GERS and collector at San Francisco on the
ground that she was likely to become a
public charge. Ii was also alleged that she
was coming TO the United States for
immoral purposes. The ruling of the immi-
grafton officers was contested, and IL was
sought to have the federal courts, on an
application for a writ of habeas corpus,
review the facts in the case. The govern
ment commended that the ruling of the
treasury department with reference to
the entry OF immigrants was final and
not renewable by the courts. This
contention Of the government the supreme
court to-day sustained. 1t holds that the
court can only decide whether or not immi-
grafton officers were duly appointed and
acted in conformity with the directions of
the act, and their conclusion as TO the facts,
with reference to any immigrant entering
the United States, Is Renewable only by
the treasury department

Vile had quite sensation yesterday and
to-day. H. Wise, young man known on
the stage as Harry Belmont. was spending
the winter in this city and acting as mana
ger of s. Fleisher's ticket brokers' office.
Harry Leslie, once with Wilson's minstrels,
was also spending the season here as stage

their regret at the fact that Secretary
Blaine is once more under the weather. II
it had not been for this ELUSIVE and eloquent
sympathy few would have known that Sec
rotary Blaine had another attack OF indi-
gestion with vertigo and vomiting yester-
day in his library at the red house. II
was not as bad an attack as
that Of fortnight ago, and he was able to
go right TO bed. so that to-day he was a
great deal better off than he was the day
after the former attack. He was ablo to get
up aud might have been out if it had not
been for the wretched weather. Neverthe-
less, the Harrisons paint the moral just the
same.

PETER Wants Presidents Elected by a
Direct Vote.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1s.-Six democrats
and dozen republicans formed the Senate
when that body opened it's proceeding to-
day. Among the latter was Mr.. Sherman,
who appeared for the first time since his re-
election. Among the bills introduced and
referred were the following:
By Mr. Peffer-Proposing an amendment
to the constitution providing for the cleo
tion Of the President and Vice President by
direct vote of the people.
By Mr.. Teller-For the admission of Utah
as state.
By Mr.. Perkins-For a nationsl bank
ruptcy law identical with the Oates bill
heretofore introduced in the House,.
Mr. Hale offered resolution calling on
the Secretary of State for copies of all
agreements with other countries relating to
Interchange Of trade and for report as to
the practical effect of such agreements. The
resolution was laid on the table, Mr. Hale
giving notice Of his intention to call it up
shortly for discussion.
THE LA ABRA CLAIMS.
The Senate then took up the calendar.
the fret bill upon it being one reported
from the committee on foreign relations TO
amend the act of 1878 for the distribution OF
awards under the convention of 1868 with
Mexico referring specially to the La Abra
claims. Mr.. Dolph, who is in charge of
the bill, and Mr.. Vest bore the brunt OF the
discussion. During most of Mr..
Dolph's remarks there were but two
senators seated on his own side OF
the chamber and about dozen on the other
side, but there was little or no pretense on
the part of more than two or three senator's
of feeling and interest in the matter. Mr..
Vest was still speaking at O'Clock to an
audience of less than dozen senators
when he yielded to a motion TO proceed TO
executive session, and soon afterward the
Senate adjourned.
