No Senator presents more unique
arguments than Senator Tillmau, of
South Carolina, and his latest, on
the silver question, was n Of the
best. He said, as he walked down
the aisle: Before 1873, we used
to go on two legs. Ore leg was
gold and the other leg was silver.
Then we cut one leg off, but not con-
tent with that, we placed the cut off
leg on our shoulder, and new we go
hopping along one leg with the other
leg on our shoulder" The Senator
illustrated his remarks by action and
when he ended by hopping around
on one leg, bending over with the
Imaginary burden on his shoulder,
there was such a burst of laughter
and applause that The Vice President
had 10 sharply demand order.

We regret to see that there is a
marked disposition upon the part oil
a number Of the members Of the
Constitutional Convention. to make
a farce Of the suffrage clause. The
people Of this State are sick and
tired of dirty politics, of ballot box
stufing, false registration and other
election scolndrelism and it was
thought that the time had arrived
when the decent people had made un
their minds that they would not toll
crate any more Of this kind Of bust
els. 1t appears, however, that some
of the gentlemen charged with the
solemn duty of changing the organic
law of the State, are devising all man
ner Of schemes to embody elastic
fraud in the constitution itself. The
plans dealing with grand daddies aud
the sons of his father are nnsatlsfacto-

York but we doubt if a more deba-
sing spectacle Of manhood suffrage
and corrupt politics is anywhere ex-
@
hibited, and Tensas and Jefferson are
not barred.
If the penchant for fraud and
crookedness is SO strong that it must
be made the cornerstone OF the Con.
