principles Of the Chicago platform, single
Statehood and free homes, opposed army
officers acting as Indian agents. and ad-
vocated separate schools and fusion.

would not be properly punished.
They accordingly awaited their chance
and shot Brooker. They then went
home, and backed by the neighbors,
defied arrest. Rewards were offered
for their capture; but the people who
would have otherwise moved in the
matter were afraid on account of the
large number of Populists in the coun-
ty. Not long ago Governor Atkinson
offered reward of $3.50 for the arrest
and conviction of anybody who should
be guilty of assisting the Zeiglers in
defying the law. This threw some
what of damper on the enthusiasm of
Zeigler's friend. In the meantime de-
tectives began to watch the vicinity
closely, and last Tuesday the Zeiglers
decided to give themselves up. To
avoid the possibility of being arrested
on the way to Jail, they got a strong
company of their friends to accompany
them to the court house. They made
the trip without interruption; but de-
tectives are claiming the reward for
their arrest anyway, as they say that
had it not been for the annoyance they
gave the Zeiglers, the Zeiglers would
have never surrendered.

cratic national committee, said that Till
man should not be allowed seatin the
convention. Later, it has developed that
there has been seri ously talked PROPOSE
ton among the Goldbugs to send con-
testing gold delegations from every silver
State, and to actually seat these contesting
delegations in the convention at Chicago,
whether the States affected be for silver or
gold. The fairness and justice in this
proposition is obvious.
There seems to be but little harmony
between the factions just now. One does
not exhibit any more forbearance than the
other. The gold people are just as apt to
split from Chicago as the silver people.
There is bound to be, somewhere, in the
difference between the two, an element OF
fairness and justice. Right thinking peo-
pie want to do that which is right, and
before they commit themselves as to what
they intend to with regard to the Chicago
convention, it will be well to wait and
zee what that convention does and how.

Captain 8. E. White has suggested that
the next most fitting subject for monu-
ment in this section is the Catawba In
dians. He is right. When the the white
man was weak in this country, the Cataw-
bas befriended him. At first they gave
him all the land he needed, and later
they let him swindle them out Of all the
land they had. Not only this, they made
good soldiers in the war for American In
dependence, and again in the war of
Secession. Their record for unselfish, un-
reasoning devotion and faithfulness to
the interests of the white man is unpar-
relied in the history of this or any other
country and they should not only have a
monument to commemorate what they
have been but are entitled to become the
especial wards of the State of South Caro-
lima to such extent as would give the few
that are remaining every possible advant-
age in SECULAR and religious training. We
have no idea that they will ever get half
what they deserve in this direction; but
that fact can never affect their moral claim
in the least. But really, something like
an attempt at justice for the few remain
ing Catawbas, will be worth more than it
can ever cost in moral effect on the people
of the State.

BOLT OR STICK.

"I propose to abide the result of the Chi
cago convention" "If the Chicago con-
vention fails to nominate true and tried
silver man on silver platform, 1 propose
to bolt" II am Democrat, and what
ever the convention does, will be bound
by the will of the majority" These are
few specimen declarations that are heard
in connection with the possible action OF
individuals in connection with the Chi
cago convention.
1t is too early for people to begin to
commit themselves on this subject yet.
There are many things that can happen
between now and the date of the conven-
ton, or at the convention, that are capa-
BILE of changing things wonderfully.
1t is reported, and we have no reason to
doubt the fact, that after Michigan elected
her delegates to her State convention, a
number of Federal officeholders, acting
under instructions from Washington,
managed to secure the proxies Of regular
ly elected delegates, who were averse to
paying their expenses, and in the place OF
these, went to the convention, and in
cont rovention of the sentiment of a vast
majority of the voters the State, endors-
ed the Gle veland administration and the
gold standard. The same thing is said to
have been done in South Dakota and else
where. 1t was attempted in two or three
other States but failed.
Senator Tillman said some time ago that
he must have free silver at Chicago or he
would bolt. In consequence of this re-
mark, Chairman Harrity, of the Demo

Powers of Magistrates.

There is a serious question now as
to whether the magistrates in the State
have any power at all to commit q
person to Jail. 1t is raised by L. T. L.
lar, ESQ.,, of Branchville, who arrived in
the city yesterday. A Negro, Thomas
Brown, was arrested a few, days age
and committed to Jail by Magistrate
Woodward for breach of the peace
Taking this case as the basis, Mr.. lzlal
comes to the State supreme court and
asks for a writ of habeas corpus
Tersely stated, the case is this: The
recent constitutional convention cre'
ated the Office of magistrate, abolishing
the Office of trial justice in this State
1t left to the legislature to pass an acl
defining the duties and powers Of
magistrates, and fixing their salaries
The legislature passed the act defining
the powers and duties of the magis'
trates as required by the new constitu'
ton. The act did not give the gov
ernor the right of removal, however
and he therefore vetoed all of the act
except that portion fixing the salaries
of the magistrates, and Mr.. Izlar's con-
tention is that they have no right to
take action in any criminal or civil
case. If Mr.. Izlar's position is sustain
ed by the supreme court the far-reach'
ing results can easily be seen.-Colum'

The Gold Standard papers pretty gen.
orally are now beginning to admit that
the Free Silverites are going to control
the Chicago convention; but claim that
free silver sentiment, must reach an ebt
at an early period. 1t will be remember
ed that these same papers had the silver
sentiment buried even at the beginning
of the present fight. The free silver SEN
timent is willing to rest quietly enough
so long as it is not riled; but every at,
tempt to choke it in its sleep is met with
a savage growl.

details from the city on Wednesday even

details from the city on Wednesday even
ing or night. Reports had to be carried
to outlaying stations on foot, often dis
tance of several miles. One story has it
that the city hospital and morgue escaped
the wreck and that both buildings were
80 full that it was necessary to press other
buildings into service. Another story
has it that both of these buildings were
destroyed, along with nearly every public
building in the city. There is reason to
believe, however, that most Of the dam
age has been on the Illinois side of the
river, in East st. Louis.
The number of killed Is variously esti-
mated. The earlier reports put it at
about 300. Later reports, however, run
the figures up to 1000, and the number
may go even beyond this, though as yet
the real facts seem to be mere matter OF
speculation. The destruction of property
will easily amount to millions of dollars !;
but 1t includes many Of the outlying dis
tricts, some from 10 to Is miles away.
Reports from these also indicate heavy
loss of life that may swell the larger
estimates yet made. The survivors in st.
Louis are exerting themselves to attend to
the wounded and alleviate distress gener-
ally. Already generous subscriptions of
money, food and clothing have been
made by and in surrounding towns and
everything will be done to make the lot
of the stricken people as bearable as pos
sible in their great misfortune.
