The polling Of about three thousand

no doubt that the result will be n Re-

The denomination unanimously OF

ty to sign his certificate Of election. re-
fers to Judge Dents proper refusal to
sit In the case. because. his brother was
interested. and says: Judges Bran
non and McWhorter were for denying
the writ, and Judge English, the only
Democratic member, wished to grant 1t,
and had his dissenting opinion so re-
corded"
This statement may cause many to
inquire where the Register got its i'm
preston that Judge English was the
''only Democratic member" When did
Judge Brannon become n Republican?
1t is particularly gratifying that there
was no partisanship In the decision.
The false impression conveyed by the
Registers dispatch was entirely unwar-

Democratic claimant TO a certificate OF
election to the legislature In Taylor
county, 10 compel Commissioner Means
tRepuhlican) to sign his commission,

neither OF the claimants having u legal
certificate. Brohard. the Republican
candidate. who was elected ON the OIL
cial count. holds the Republican COM
1 misslonet's certificate, and the Demo-
cratic candidate who was elected By the
alleged changed ballots on recount,
holding certificate from the Demo-
cratic commissioner, who, Immediately
after signing 1t. left the state. The
law requires the signature Of majority
OF the county court.
The failure OF the mandamus case
throws the contest for the seat Into the
house, where It will be settled. Who
Il Will get the seat depends largely on the
degree Of fairness shown In the deter
minatlon of the title to the seat by the
members OF the house. Chairman
Ohley. Of the Democratic state commit
tee, Is quoted as saying the merits OF
the case were not before the court. 1t
was only asked to compel the Republic
can commissioner to sign Dents certitl-
cate. While 1t is true the evidence con-
corning the ballots alleged to be fraud
ulently changed may not have been
submitted TO the court. the arguments
involved more or less the presentation
OF the merits Of the case. At any rate
the matter is no longer before the court.
and the result must remain In doubt
until after the contest before the house
Of delegates.
The Republicans may be expected to
bring the merits before the deciding
: body strongly, and some interesting de /.
velopments may be expected. The jus
tice of the case Is on the side Of the Re-
publican claimant, at present. and 1t is
hoped there will be enough falr-mindcd
members Of the house on both sides TO
give the evidence fair hearing. This
the public has right to expect.

Savannah News tDcm); II does moi
Eecm to be- generally undcrrtood why
Mr. Bailey Is so anxious 10 deprive Cen
cral Joe Wheeler OF his seat In the
house. General Wheeler was asked
about the matter n day or two agu. lie
said he Cid not know. unless It was be.
cause he refused to follow Mr.. Ballcy's
lead last summer on the question OF OK.
pansion.
General Wheeler believes that he has
right 10 occupy his seat In the house
and Mt the Bame time retain hiS COM
mission In the volunteer nrmy. lie has
looked up the matter carefully, and has
taken advice on the question from some
OF the best posted lawyers In Washing
ton. The resolution to investigate his
right to seat has been referred 10 the
judiciary committee. and that commit
tee Will make report, In all probabil.
ity. soon after the holidays.
This Congress will come 10 an end IN
two months. General Wheeler Is n
membcr-elect OF the next Congress. Be.
fore that Congress meets General
Wheeler will. OF course. be out Of the
army. thafis. II some arrangement IS
not made for his permanent connection
with II.
Mr.. Bailey has not endenred himself
to the people OF the south by his course
In the Wheeler matter. In the first
place he knew that the question he
raised Is one in respect TO which there is
a difference OF opinion. In the second
place, there was no reason why Dem
Ocrnt should have raised II. II 1t was
important enough TO be raised. MIR.
Bailey should have waited for Re-
publican TO raise II. unless his con-
science would not permit of any delay.
However, there are no Indications that
General Wheeler Is greatly disturbed
about the matter.

Vest and Human Liberty.

On Saturday the Intelligencer had oc-
casion TO refer 10 Senator Vests atti-
tude toward the payment of an amount
consistent with the dignity of the coun-
!, try to the peace commissioners, and to
his radical opposition to the Philippine
I policy in advance OF any policy being
announced Senator Vest has been
weeping bitter tears for down trodden
humanity and incidentally for that
poor martyr. the Spanish government.
In connection with his passionate grief
for the Fillpinos. whom he fears will be
kept in slavery by this government, and
his general all around professions Of
humanity. the New York Sun sees back
OF his professions the prickIngs OF re-
morse, and draws on the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. of Mr.. Vests state,
for the basis of its theory.
The st. Louis paper recalls the past,
when In 1861, Mr.. Vest. as u member OF
the Missouri legislature, introduced a
bill to punish with death ANY one who,
by, writing, speaking. printing. or en-
craving, melted slave to be insubor-
!. dinate to his master" This bill was ac-
tunlly the work OF the senator who is
now so exercised over the fate OF the
poor Filiplnos. But the bill went fur
Their. Aiding n slave to escape was to
be punished, for the first Offensc. by ten
years In the penitentiary. and by being
branded In the palm OF the right hand
with the figure of cross" The second
: offense was to be punished by death. It
provided. that no one should serve on n
jury who had conscientious scruples
against slavery. 1t provided also that
the branding should be done in the
presence of the sheriff, with hot iron,
such a manner that the BRAID shall
be lasting and indcliblc." Fortunately
! the committee to which the bill was re-
fcrred opposed 1t, and it still remains
4 pigcon-holed.
This, present day humanitarian. who
would, thirty-seven years ago, punish
with death citizen who encouraged
slaves to Nope for freedom. and who
would brand with hot irons men who
7 assisted slaves TO escape, Is now In m
agony OF grief over the prospect that
the people OF the Philippines are to be-
come the wards Of land Of liberty, be-
cause they may become victims OF the
moncy-malIing classes of Wall street"
How consistent 1t all Is. How In ac-
cordancc with humane principles he
processes, ns Il senator, to espouse Is his
