sxRArT, LArINYR AND MeLAuRIN
BLACY-LYSTxD.

wAsHuxoros, Narch 27.--Quite sense
tiou was created in the South Carolina col
sny today and especially among the politi-
cans.
Copgressr Strait and Lstimer, who
came here upon telegram from Senator
Iiby yesterday morning, called 10 see the
Fourth Aesistant Postmaster General this
s4iag ~ 10 o'clcck.
In conversafivn afsnht South Ca-"Nc-
penties discovery was made which morii
ned these gentlemen very much, viz: That
they had been placed upon the black list
aud were not entitled 10 mako nominations
Of Democratic postmastsrs on account Of
being third partyites. They found that with
them McLaurin ulss was black-Iisted.
These gentlemen were very indignant and
protested that their Democracy was as good
and true ss that Of any man in South Caro-
lima that this was an unkind, untrue and
sAsaking statement.
They felt aggrieved somewhat, without
positive evidence, at the ex-CoDgressmcn
from their districts.
The rule has prevailed in Congress that
Democrats who are defeated by Republicans
under Democratic administrations control
the patronage in their districts In Northern
States. These gentlemen believe that 1t was
an unfair advantage that had been taken Of
them by the eI-Congressmen from these die
triois.
The Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
was surprised at their declaration and gave
them very little satisfaction. They left the
postoffce and went to the Senate chamber
and had a conference with Senator Irby.
As soon as the Senate adjourned, Senator
Irby and Messrs. Strait and Latimcr went
TO the Postoffics DEPARTMENT.
Senator Irby told General Maxwell that
ho had called 10 see him as the Democratic
State Chairman Of South Carolina, and not
as . Senator, aud that these men had been
treated with great injustice; that they had
defeated their Democratic opponents at the
Democratic primaries aud were the regular
nominees Of the Democratic party in their
districts, and were tho only true represen-
tatives Of tho people.
General Maxwell then invited Senator
Irby to 20 and see the Postmaster General.
The statement was repeated to Mr.. Bissell,
who promised that the whole matter would
be taken under consideration, and that
justice would be done as soon as the rush
was over.
Your correspondent asked Senator lrby if
he had any idea who was the author Of this
report lle said that he had. but what he
knows was given to him in confidence and
he cannot reveal the names OF his inform
ants without their rconscnt.-Spccjal 10 Regis

have been SO busy that could not spare the
time from the farm, but will now endeavor
to turn the wheel again.
We have had q hard winter, but spring
time has come again and l hope We will have
better weather from this on. Two weeks of
good sunshine put the farmers in heart, aud
they put in full time preparing their land
for planting.
! fear there will be too much cotton pant
cd for the good of the South. Brother farm
crs, take the wafuing of j. Il. George and
don't plant more ce5on tbau is necessary to
Fiss %aiss s( sAaa ihs hpss ssa rsssas and corn and
plant largely OF cotton to meet their obliga-
tions; but farmers who are in better circum
stances and continue the all-cottsn practice,
will see their folly when it is too late.
All indications show very plain that we
will get low price for cotton next fall, if
large crop is made this year.
We can't understand our friends logic in
assuming that farmers in debt must raise a
Large crop of cotton to meet their obliga-
tions,' while it will be folly for those out Of
bebt to do go. 1t seems to us that if q small
crop, costing less to produce it, will bring as
much cash as q larger one. costing more to
produce it, the farmers having Obligations to
meet in the fall, are the very ones to adopt
the small crop system. The "other fellows"
oan stand selling cotton at just what it cost
to raise it, or can afford to hold it for better
prices; but he who ex poets to get out Of debt
by raising cotton nd selling it at what it
cost, or less, will tertaioly "sce his folly"
in tho fall, when he is called on to to meet
his obligations out of a large and improbable
crop Of cotton. Our friends prope sition il,
very evidently, that oil the farmers who are
out Of debt should plant only small crops Of
cotton to keep up the prices, and those who
are in debt should plan; large crops to keep
down the price. Now it is well known that
large majority Of the farmers are 10 debt,
and We ihiuk they always will be if they
accept our friends aI,ioe.-Ep.

The NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
Considerable Opposition to the Proposal
for -Annexstio

WASHINGTON, January 2S.-Dr. Mott
Smith, the Hawaiian Minister has received
an official dispatch to the effect that the
Hawaiian government has been over
thrown and that commissioners from the
new government are on their way 10 Wash
ington from San Francisco 10 ask that
Hawaii be annexed to the United States.
Mr. Smith called at the State Department
to advise the Secretary Of State of the in
formation he has received. The State and
Navy Departments have been officially in
formed of the revolution.
After his interview with Secretary Fos-
ter Mr. Mott Smith told q reporter that he
thought that the new government could be
maintained without display Of force by
the United States. He believed, he said,
that the people themselves would regulate
matters and that there would be no trouble
MIR. Smith had believed revolution was
inevitable, but he thought it would not
come so soon.
The interview between Secretary Of
State Foster and DR.. Smith cantinued for
some time. At its close Secretary Foster
went over TO the White House and had a
conference with President Harrison.
While of course no statement of the policy
70 be pursued By the United States in the
matter will be made, at least until after
the arrival OF the commissioners from
Hawai-, who are to present the request for
annexation 70 the United States, il may be
said that the visit OF the Hawaiians
win not % successful, If the pur.
port thereof has been correctly stated.

which the annexation would be, the inter
