LETTER FROM CHARLESTON.
The Municipal Election and Its Mean
ing—N ewspaper Fence-Straddling.
[Correspondence of the Constitutionalist.]
Charleston, S. C., October 12th.
Now that our municipal election is
over it may not be uninteresting to
your readers, many of whom are well
acquainted here, to read the issues
which were involved in our late city
campaign. But, in order to understand
the position assumed by many Conserv
atives, it will be necessary to refer to
the State election of last fall, at which
time members of the Legislature and
county officers were chosen. In that
election the Conservatives realized but
too forcibly that in view of the fact
that the colored majority in the county
was immense, there could be no suc
cessful contest for the officers that
have been mentioned against the Ke
publiean party, whose leader was
Sheriff Bowen. Sometime previous to
that election a split had been created in
the Republican party and the dissent
ers, headed by ex-Sheriff Mackey, orga
nized themselves under the name of
the Independent Republicans. At that
time, Mr. Mackey was ftr less object
ionable to the Conservatives citizens
than Mr. Bowen, and as both the
leader of the “Independents” and
the Conservatives felt that the
regular Republicans would be suc
cessful unless a coalition was form
ed against them, a union was effected
between the Independent party and the
Conservatives upon the principle that
the latter should receive due repre
sentation upon the county ticket. The
result of that combination is well
known. The leader of the Independ
ents was elected to Congress, and the
Conservatives, out of twenty-one posi
tions, obtained five or six. Most per
sons thought that the coalition thus
made was but temporary and a neces
sity growing out of the Conservative
weakness. Both parties to the agree
ment realized that separately they could
do nothing, but united that they could
be successful. The general impression
was that it was a mere political expe
dient, to be rejected when the same
circumstances did not exist. And now
your correspondent comes down to the
late city election. Gen. John A. Wag
ener, ex-Mayor, was the nominee of
the citizens’ Conservative party, and
Mayor Cunuingham, of the Republi
cans. Previous to, and for some
time subsequent, the nomination
of Mr. Wageuer, our leading jour
nal, the News and Courier, remain
ed editorially silent upon the issues
which that paper afterwards contended
were to be decided by the election. Is
comment necessary ? Should au ex
ponent of public opinio# remain dumb
iu such *a ease? Could the Constitu
tionalist keep neutral iu au Augusta
election when important political prin
ciples are to be decided by the result ?
Well, the News and Courier eventually
declared in favor of Mr. Cunningham
upon the grounds that the honor of the
Conservatives demanded that the co
alition formed iu the State election
should be made perpetual, and
that if Mr. Wagener were elected,
this union would be forever dissolved.
In other words, the coalitiou made
duriDg the State and county election,
when the Conservatives had not the
slightest chance as Conservatives to
elect any ticket, was to be binding upon
them in the city election, when they
had every hope of being successful.
What was the consequence? The Re
publican ticket in our late municipal
contest, with a minority Conservative
representation, was elcretecl by a large
majority, and its election very proba
bly sounded the death-knell of Inde
pendent-Conservatism in our old city.
Emanuel.
SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL NEWS
According to the census, the negro
voters in Edgefield county number 4,400
and the white voters 2,722.
F. B. Houston, convicted of bigamy,
at the Jauuary term, 1875, of the Court
of General Sessions for Abbeville
county, aud sentenced to five years im
prisonment in the penitentiary, was
pardoned last week by the Governor.
It is said that both of Houston’s wives
petitioned for his release.
Edgefield Advertiser: The Preston
property in Columbia was sold by the
Sheriff of Richland county on sale-day
last., as the property of Emma K.
Moses aud ex-Gov. F. J. Moses, and
was purchased by the South Carolina
Bank and Trust Company, per T. C.
Duun, receiver, for £21,000, subject to
mortgages amounting to £16,000.
The Edgefield jail is now for rent —or
rather should be. The last two prison
ers escaped on Monday morning last,
in broadest day. Escaped, did we say?
Walked away in genteel order! One
cripple, however, still remans. We ex
pect to hear of his beiug tvlvpped off
soon—for go they must! Pretty Sheriff,
pretty jailor, pretty County Commis
sioners, pretty set of rascals generally !
Jake Hunter, a colored man, was shot
by Captain John E. Lyon, at Cade’s
store on the Savannah side, betweeu
twelve and one o’clock on last Satur
day. Three shot penetrated his body.
He died from the effects of the wounds
on Saturday night. Captain Lyon has
lied the country. The difficulty which
led to the shooting is said to have origi
nated in the settlement of a store ac
count of small value
Abbeville Medium: Mrs. Newton Ma
lone, of White Hall, attempted to kill
herself last Thursday night with a knife
which she took time to deliberately
sharpen. The unfortunate lady still
survives with a cut on the arm aud five
terrible gashes about the throat. She
has an affectionate husband and an in
teresting family of little children, and
it is supposed she acted under tempo
rary aberration of the mind.
News & Courier: County School Com
missioner Hedges, a day or two ago,
completed his annual report on the
condition of the schools in the county
under his jurisdiction, and transmitted
the document to the superintendent of
education. The report shows that there
are 16 school districts in this county,
112 free public schools, 65 white
teachers, 72 colored teachers—ten
teachers hading from the North, 424
white pupils, 4,576 colored pupils, and
19,015 children in this county between
the ages of 6 and 16 years. The report
is for the scholastic year ending on the
30th June, 1875, and does not embrace
the city schools.
Columbia Register: In speaking of
the delegation from Augusta who at
tended the Sehutzen Fest, it says: A
delegation of fifteen arrived from the
German Schutzen Club, of Augusta,
Ga., all of whom are fine looking men,
whose appearance did not require a
second glance to indicate their fond
ness for “good, lager beer” and the
other good things of life. Upon the
arrival of this delegation, the city be
gan to be arrayed in holiday attire;
visitors and citizens improved their ac
quaintance, and there was a general
commingling until a late hour of those
who had forsaken the cares of business
fur the period to which the festival will
be prolonged.
The Abbeville Press man is after the
lightning rod and pump agents, etc.
Hear him: Don’t buy lightning rods.
r fhey are most positively a swindle.
The worthless rods cost the agents
about six cents a foot, which they sell
at from fifty cents to a dollar a foot,
and when on your house, are not worth
a copper in protecting your property
from the effects of the electric flash.
It is thought by some that a heavy rod
of iron may to some extent protect the
building, but this theory is doubted br
other scientific men. We noticed some
time since accounts of the burning of a
barn with seven points and as many
rods attached. The property holder
was agent for the sale of lightning
rods. Don’t insure your life. It won’t
pay. Such au idea has exploded long
ago. Don’t buy guanos. That is a
waste of money, when every man
ought to have a better phosphate bed
in his lot at one-fourth the cost. Don’t
buy well pumps. They spoil the wa
ter. The air iu a closely covered well
soon becomes impure. The bucket
passing up and down, and falling in
the water, keeps both the air and the
water pure. Experience has proven
that the bucket is the best.
-In the programme for the Carolina
Centennial, to occur on the 29th of
June, 1776, there is to be unveiled a
monument of the following description:
Monument to be a Continental soldier
in bronze, lacing Moultrie; his right
arm raised iu the act of cheering, in
his left hand a sponge staff, arranged
in such manner as would allow a flag
to be attached to it upon the occasion,
and upon each succeeding 28th of June.
This soldier to be elevated upon a
granite or marble base, with steps, the
whole not to exceed fifteen feet in
height; east side dedicated to the
memory of the defenders of Fort Moul
trie, 28 of June, 1776; west side a carv
ing of White’s picture of Jasper ele
vating the flag; north side, seal of the
city, south side, seal of the State. The
funds for erection of this monument to
be raised by a grand “Centenuial Fair,”
under the auspices of all the clubs iu
Charleston—each one taking charge of
a table. The cost will be known at a
future meeting. The attitude of the
mute soldier would be bold and full of
meaning. His position, that of a sol
dier cheering—his right arm raised; in
his left carrying the standard on the
sponge staff, which would be commem
orative of the* most noted scene of
the battle. The inscription upon the
east face of the base—“ Dedicated to
the defenders of Fort Moultrie, June
28, 1776”—would catch the flrst rays
of the rising sun; while, iu its declining,
its most powerful beams would fall
upon Jasper’s glorious scene.
During the last three mouths twice
as much has been spent for whiskey
as for clothing in the Chicago County
Hospital.
