Some Beaufort Pensioners.

1t was to be expected that Secretary
Smiths pension policy would meet with
resistance. The fraudulent pensioners
are against him and his policy because
they see they are going to lose the fruit
of their rascality, and many of the honest
pensioners are against him because they
have been led to believe by an unscrupu-
lous republican press and corrupt pension
attorneys that it is his purpose to make
war upon all pensions. The fact that Mr..
Smith is a southerner also helps to spread
the impression that he is hostile to pen
siOns. While il is true that Mr.. Smith is
southerner he was not a participant in
the civil war. He was too young to do
! duty as soldier in that conflict. Had
he been old enough he would have carried
a musket on the southern side.
But the fact that he is southerner
| does not prevent him from doing exact
| justice to the pensioners of the union
armies. He knows what the pension
laws are, and he will comply with them
| strictly. All that he seeks to do is to
| prevent the government from being de-
frauded by lot of scamps who never did
any fighting, and who have succeeded in
| getting pensions because the republican
| leaders were so anxious to get rid of the
surplus which the first Cleveland admins
| tration accumulated that they encouraged
the granting of pensions upon insufficient
! proofs. In that way thousands of men
succeeded in getting on the pension rolls
who have no legal right to be there It is
Secretary Smiths purpose to get them off
the rolls. He is going to have pretty
lively fight to accomplish his purpose but
unless Congress interferes to prevent
him he will accomplish it.
He will find a fine field for operation
just across the river from Savannah.
Beaufort county, S. c., furnished large
number of colored troops. In many in
stances they represented these patriotic
citizens of the north who, like the la
mented ARENAS Ward, were willing Ito
| send all their wives relations to
| the front" rather than go themselves.
Many of those Beaufort county blacks
never had an ache nor pain. and worked
more or less regularly for twenty-five
| years. They are now affected with mis-
cry in m back" due to alleged exposure
| while in the federal service. They would
never have had this misery" had not
| Commissioner Raum's pension policy
made it to the interest of the pension
sharks to hunt them up and tell them
| about it. t,'
If Secretary Smith will give Beaufort
county early attention he will save the
treasury good many thousand dollars
and send back to work numbers of strong
men who are now idlers, living on the
! bounty of the government.

Hunt Down the murderers.

A little more than a week ago a colored
woman was killed in a house on South
/ Broad street under circumstances that
leave little or no doubt that she was
brutally murdered. The man who killed
her has not been arrested. A few days
I ago "a white man was killed by a negro
on Skidaway Island. If the facts are as
stated in the newspapers the killing was
an unprovoked murder Of the most hor-
rible kind. The negro dealt his victim a
blow with an AK when the latter was IN
suspicious of danger. The murderer has
not been arrested.
II is but fair 70 assume that the officer
whose duty it is to hunt down murderers
in this county has not been neglectful of
his duty in these two cases. There are,
doubtless, good reasons why he has not
been successful thus far It is highly
important however, that he should prose
cute his search with great vigor. and
that he should arrest both of the accused
men. The escape of both or of either of
them would be such failure of justice
as would encourage the committing Of the
crime of murder in this county, and
would lead the people to resort to lynch
law if a particularly fiendish murder
should be committed and the party com
hitting it should be caught.
1t seems to US that the county commits
siOners should inquire as to what is being
done towards experimenting the murder
ers in the cases TO which attention is
called, with the view of finding out if all
is being done that it is possible to do, and
of providing assistance if help is thought
to be necessary. We cannot af-
ford to let these murders pass
without making every possible effort to
arrest and punish the murderers. The
people are talking about them in a quiet
way, and any neglect to see that the law
is indicated will bear bitter fruit
There may be no visible indignation at
these murders, but it exists, and the &C.
casion when it will crop out may occur at
any time.
A fun report should be made of what
ever has been done to capture the muir
derers so that the people may know that
the proper steps have been taken to bring
them to justice. They are entitled to this
information and they will be better salts
fed if they are shown that the authori-
ties have done their duty

Anecdotes of MRS. Inohbald.

Mrs Inchbald was not an actress OF any
special merit, but of respectable mediocrity.
says the St. Louis Republic. She suffered
habitually, but her delivery was never I'M
peded by this defect on the stage. Mrs. Inch
bald was person OF very remark bic char
acter lovely. poor, with unusual mental DOW
ers. and of irreproachable conduct. She had
sing uprightness and unworldliness,
and chlldhke dlrectneSSF and simplicity Of
manner, which, combined with her personal
loneliness and hating. broken utterances
gave to her conversation, which was both hui
morous and witty, a most peculiar and COM
zeal charm.
Fanny Kemble, in her Records OF a Girl
hood writes; Once, after travelling all day
IN pouring rain, the dripping coachman Of
fered her his arm to help her out, when she
exclaimed, to the great amusement of her fell
low travellers:
"Oh, no. moi Y-y-y-you will give me my
death Of cold. Do bring me aaa-a-a dry
man,
Coming off the stage one evening she was
about to sit down by Mrs. SiddOns in the
green room, when, suddenly looking at her
magnificent neighbOr, she said;
NO, / won't S sit by you. You're TIT
too handsome.'
IN which respect she certainly need have
feared no competition, and less with my aunt
than any one, their style Of beauty being so
absolutely dissimilar."

Making New States.

It was expected that this congress
would admit Utah, Arizona and New
Mexico into the Union. They have been
applying for admission for long time.
Each of them has the necessary qualif-
cations, and there is no reason why the
application Of either should be denied.
The House has voted to admit Utah
and Arizona and will vote to admit New
Mexico. There Is every reason to believe
/ the Senate viii follow the lead of the
/ House. As matter Of fact, Utah ought
/ to have been admitted several years
/ ago, and would have been if
/ there had not existed doubt as TO the
/ sincerity Of the assertions Of the Nor
mons that they had given up polygamy
/ forever. Even now there is a suspicion
that if the Mormons get control of the
new state they win legalize polygamy and
defy the United States government to in
terfere with it. This suspicion is seen in
the amendment, which was offered by
Representative Powers, of Vermont, TO
the bill relative to polygamy, but the
opinion is expressed that the amendment
Will be dropped before the bill
becomes a law.
The MormOns are sincere in giving up.
polygamy. They understand that the
sentiment Of the whole country is against
it, and that they could not make
it an institution of the new
state even if they should
try to do so. Utah has a very large gen
tile population, and, besides, many of the
KrosEons here never regarded polygamy
with favor. The institution may there
fore be regarded as belonging to the past
Utah promises to become a rich and
populous state. 1t will be many years be-
fore Arizona and New Mexico will show
much growth, but Utah has thrifty pop
ulation, and, besides having a very CON
siderable amount of good farming lands,
is rich in minerals Her estimated
population is 245, 900. and her assessed
property $40, 900, 900. Her output of met
ais last year was valued at nearly S12,-
600, 900.
Representative Cakes, OF Alabama,
made a suggestion while the bill
was pending in the House that
ought TO have been acted upon
The Senate may consider it
III tAAI olld pc VI an diIbuuIutuU. IL IS llldJ
the state Of Nevada be joined to Utah
Together they would make a splendid
state, which would not be the largest in
the union by any means. Nevada will
never amount to anything. She has only
$4,000 inhabitants 900 less than she
had ten years ago. Her admission into
the union was one of those political out
RACES the Republican party did not hest
tate to commit in the hight of its power
when it wanted to accomplish a particu-
lar object. Nevada ought to be blotted
out, and the least Objectionable way to do
that is to make her part of Utah.
1t is the impression that all three Of the
proposed new states are democratic. and
will choose democratic senators. That is
not agreeable to the republicans, because
the addition Of six democratic senators
will insure democratic majority in the
Senate for long time. However, it is
difficult to see what the republicans can
DO They cannot expect to have every
thing their way.

old mans claim appears to be just, but it is

grant McGarrahan's prayer against the
wishes of the corporation, nor the hardi-
hood TO throw him overheard and end his
suspense, He has grown old waiting for
justice, and will probably die still wait

permission to prove his title to the Ran

the work of country road improvement in
his state. Massachusetts is probably
ahead of any other state in the Union in
the good roads movement, and as Col
Needham is a close Observer his state

our people when they shall have been

means greater prosperity. II is a cause
for congratulation that the farmers con
