fflje Ccmatttnturoalist AUGUSTA, GA.: Friday Morning, October 15, 1875. 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. TAKE SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR For all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Spleen.
